Chapter 40 Xue Feng's Death

"There's no need to talk nonsense with a traitor," Su Chen said with a cold look on his face as he raised his hand to strike Xue Feng, who was trembling in fear.

However, before he could strike, Wang Chen stepped forward and said, "Brother Su, let me take care of him. You don't need to do it with your own hands."

Su Chen paused, his hand still raised, and looked at Wang Chen. "Very well," he said with a nod. "But make it quick."

Wang Chen stepped forward towards Xue Feng, who was now sweating profusely and shaking in terror. "You traitor," Wang Chen spat out. "You would betray your own master for a little bit of profit?"

"It's all because of you!" Xue Feng said as he looked at Wang Chen with bloodshot eyes.

Xue Feng was sure that everything was going according to plan until this guy, Wang Chen, appeared.

He knew that Su Chen wouldn't doubt him as he was the most trusted follower. And at the time Su Chen was coughing blood, Wang Chen was also present.

So if Xue Feng's guess wasn't wrong, it was Wang Chen's plan to catch him in his trap. He didn't know how Wang Chen found out about his treachery, but one thing was sure: if Wang Chen wasn't here, he would have been fine.

He knew that he wouldn't be alive now, but he wanted to take Wang Chen with him.

Xue Feng's eyes were filled with rage as he launched an attack at Wang Chen. "You will pay for this" he shouted as he charged towards Wang Chen.

Wang Chen calmly drew his sword and stood his ground, waiting for Xue Feng's attack. "You are the one who will pay for betraying brother Su," he replied coldly.

Wang Chen's cultivation was higher than Xue Feng's, and he was suppressing his cultivation level. He also saw this as the perfect opportunity to show Su Chen what he was capable of.

As Xue Feng approached, Wang Chen quickly dodged his attacks and countered with swift strikes of his sword. The two clashed, their swords clanging against each other with each blow.

Xue Feng's attacks were powerful, but Wang Chen's movements were precise and calculated. With each strike, he was wearing down Xue Feng's defense and inching closer to victory.

Xue Feng knew he had to act fast if he wanted to kill Wang Chen before Su Chen intervened. Despite the odds against him, Xue Feng refused to back down. He was determined to take down Wang Chen, even if it meant his own demise.

But with each passing moment, it became clear that Wang Chen was easily winning the fight.

Xue Feng's cultivation was only at the 8th stage of Enlightenment realm, while Wang Chen's cultivation level was at the 4th stage of Enlightenment realm as he was hiding his true cultivation level.

Wang Chen took a step back from Xue Feng, holding his sword at the ready. He focused his energy and channeled it into his sword, unleashing his newly learned 'sworn sword art'.

With a swift motion, Wang Chen's sword glowed with a bright aura and he lunged forward, striking Xue Feng with a powerful blow. Xue Feng tried to dodge, but the attack was too fast and too strong. He fell to the ground, lifeless.

Wang Chen stood over Xue Feng's body, his sword still in hand, and looked up to see Su Chen approaching.

Chen approached him, his face showing a rare expression of satisfaction.

"Well done, Wang Chen," Su Chen said, patting him on the shoulder.

"I didn't expect Yue Jang to do something like this. I should have been more careful, but now the problem is solved," Su Chen said with a sigh.

"Wang Chen, how did you find out about Xue Feng's betrayal?" Su Chen asked, his eyes narrowing in curiosity.

"Brother Su, when I was strolling in Moon-River City, I saw both Yue Mingluan and Xue Feng walking together and talking happily. When you told me about the faction, I became suspicious of Xue Feng. If he was in our faction, why would he be talking happily with members of the opposite faction? So I thought of discussing it with you when you were alone and trying to test Xue Feng's loyalty," Wang Chen explained.

But in reality, what Wang Chen said was all bullshit. He didn't see Yue Mingluan and Xue Feng together in the city.

When Wang Chen met Su Chen for the first time, he checked the status of all the followers of Su Chen, and when he checked the status of Xue Feng, he found out that Xue Feng had already betrayed Su Chen and joined hands with Yue Jang. He also found out that Xue Feng was using poison in Su Chen's meals. If Su Chen ate his meals that day, he would surely experience a backlash in his cultivation, making him weaker. So Wang Chen came to him today to use this chance in his favor.

Wang Chen couldn't tell Su Chen that he found out about Xue Feng's betrayal through his system, so he made up a fake reason.

After Wang Chen's revelation about Xue Feng's betrayal, Su Chen nodded his head in understanding, realizing that Wang Chen had acted wisely in testing Xue Feng's loyalty.

"Brother Su, I will take care of Xue Feng's body. If Yue Jang finds out that his plan failed, he would become suspicious and use another method to take you down," Wang Chen said, showing his dedication to protecting Su Chen and his faction.

"Okay, I'm also going to report to my grandfather about what happened today," Su Chen said as he left Wang Chen and Xue Feng's body alone.

After Su Chen left, Wang Chen took Xue Feng's body to a secluded place to ensure that his actions remained hidden from anyone. Once he was alone, Wang Chen placed his hand on Xue Feng's chest

"It's time to level up," Wang Chen smirked.
