Chapter 279 Elder of the Illuminati
Wu Tao's death happened in an instant, and even Tong Qianjun was quite shocked.
He never expected Xiao Chen to kill so easily and so decisively.
"Tao'er!"
Wu Chengqi cried out in despair, but Wu Tao would never respond.
"How dare you kill my son!" He was no longer a smiling tiger; he was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth to dust.
Xiao Chen remained indifferent, watching the show with a blank expression.
From the moment the Wu family father and son used the people around him to threaten him, it was destined that someone would die.
Wu Tao's death was just the beginning.
"Kill! Kill him!" Wu Chengqi ordered the warriors in a fit of rage.
Without uttering a word, they attacked Xiao Chen, but had no intention of killing him; they only wanted to capture him.
Therefore, it seems that they did not entirely obey the orders of the Wu family father and son.
Tong Qianjun stood in front of Xiao Chen, his aura fully unleashed, and he single-handedly held off the attacking men.
"boom!"
Tong Qianjun was initially struggling, but as the fight began and his body was filled with true energy, his inner strength surged continuously from his dantian, making it easier for him to cope and even gain the upper hand.
That day, he crippled himself and regained his martial arts after taking the pills given to him by Xiao Chen. However, unlike before, he had been enhanced.
During the fight, he became familiar with the new internal energy, and the strength he unleashed after mastering it was far greater than before.
"Bang bang bang..."
Tong Qianjun's aura grew stronger and stronger, causing the martial artists to retreat in defeat.
“A-level Lightbringer is still too weak, not enough for him to break through.” Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
From the moment those martial artists emerged, he knew who was behind the Wu family.
That kind of yin-yang, neither-yin-yang nor-yang aura can only be found on the Illuminators of the Illuminati.
In Jiang City, the Illuminati's Grand Elder, Bloodhand Butcher, led a large number of Illuminati elites into the Xiao family, only to be completely annihilated...
The Illuminati's reappearance is still aimed at him.
Longevity-prolonging medicines and revival pills are a huge temptation for any power.
After familiarizing himself with the power, Tong Qianjun dealt with the A-level Lightbringers of the Illuminati in no time.
They were, after all, scions of a powerful family and had never been exposed to the violence of the martial world. They lacked ruthlessness in their attacks, and those people were only injured, with none of them dying.
"Master, it's all taken care of," Tong Qianjun said respectfully, preparing to walk back to Xiao Chen's side.
At this moment, a fallen angel behind him suddenly launched a sneak attack, stabbing Tong Qianjun with a dagger.
Tong Qianjun was caught off guard and hastily dodged, but his arm was still slightly scratched, leaving a small bloodstain.
"boom!"
After Tong Qianjun severely injured that person again, his expression changed drastically.
The skin at the site of the bloodstain on his arm quickly turned blue and black, and continued to expand.
It was obvious that the blade of the dagger was coated with a deadly poison.
"Haha, the Illuminati's rare poison is almost incurable, you're doomed!" the man on the ground laughed.
Tong Qianjun's face was gloomy.
"The first lesson for anyone who joins my school is that being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself," Xiao Chen said calmly.
“Lesson Two: I want you to kill someone,” he continued.
Tong Qianjun's expression froze.
Martial arts families, prestigious and righteous sects, are usually bound by rules. How could the scions of respectable families have any concept of killing?
"What? You don't dare?" Xiao Chen questioned.
Tong Qianjun's expression changed several times.
"How could I not dare?" he retorted angrily, slapping the man's chest with his palm.
The other party coughed up blood and then died.
Tong Qianjun closed his eyes, took a breath, and gradually calmed down.
He knew very well that if he wanted to break free from the constraints of his aristocratic family and venture into the martial world, doing as Xiao Chen suggested was the right thing to do.
Xiao Chen nodded, which was taken as approval.
If Tong Qianjun hesitates, he will fire him.
He doesn't need subordinates who wouldn't even dare to kill a human.
Xiao Chen tossed a pill over, which Tong Qianjun caught and swallowed without hesitation.
The effect was immediate; the bluish-black discoloration on the arm faded instantly, and the toxins were completely eliminated.
Wu Chengqi's face looked extremely grim as he stood beside the corpse.
The Illuminati was the Wu family's backer, but he didn't expect that several A-level Illuminati would be dealt with so quickly.
"What? Aren't you guys hiding in the back watching the show coming out?" Xiao Chen asked him.
Wu Chengqi said with a stern face, "They are not here."
"The capital city has a martial arts alliance, which is very strict. The high-ranking members of the Illuminati will not show themselves unless absolutely necessary."
"But now, they have no choice but to show up."
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
“I don’t know what kind of incredible background you’re hiding. Things have come to this point, so it’s a matter of who has the better skills,” he said as he walked.
Wu Chengqi stood at the door, took out a signal tube from the doorway, and fired it into the sky.
A faint ray of light shot into the sky, flashing and disappearing in an instant, conveying some kind of message.
Then comes the waiting.
During this process, Wu Chengqi, filled with grief, ordered his men to collect Wu Tao's body for burial.
He completely ignored Xiao Chen and Tong Qianjun.
“If the Light Society wins, I will use your head to pay tribute to my son; if the Light Society loses, my Wu family will disappear from the capital.” These were his exact words.
About ten minutes later, several figures stealthily and swiftly slipped into the Wu family's residence.
"Wu Chengqi, have you captured Xiao Chen?" A voice came from inside the courtyard.
The newcomer was hidden under a cloak, and his voice was hoarse.
"We failed. All the Lightbringers were severely injured, and my son lost his life," Wu Chengqi replied in a muffled voice.
"Hmm?" The Illuminati member frowned deeply.
"What about people?"
"In the living room."
A moment later, three people entered the living room.
Two middle-aged people and one old man.
The old man exuded a powerful aura and was the leader; he should be an elder of the Illuminati.
His eyes immediately fell on Tong Qianjun.
Because Xiao Chen's aura was concealed, even extraordinary martial saints might not be able to see through his true strength. He remained unassuming and appeared to be just an ordinary person in the eyes of the Illuminati elders.
Tong Qianjun, on the other hand, exudes a vibrant and energetic aura.
"A prodigy level!" The three men froze, staring intently at Tong Qianjun, their expressions grave.
“He’s not Xiao Chen, the one sitting down is,” Wu Chengqi said.
All three of them were taken aback before turning their gazes to Xiao Chen.
Seeing that his aura was ordinary, the three of them frowned slightly.
According to intelligence, Xiao Chen is also a martial artist, so it's impossible for him to be completely devoid of martial arts aura.
“The one standing there is his subordinate,” Wu Chengqi added.
"What?" All three were shocked and couldn't help but show surprise.
A top-tier prodigy as a subordinate?
Who in the Xia Kingdom possesses this ability?
King-level beings are not particularly rare, but prodigies are few and far between.
They are all prominent figures vying for the top spot in the contemporary world, destined to become giants in the future. Why would they bow down and obey others?
"What exactly is this kid capable of? How come he can make a king-level prodigy willingly follow him..."
"Could it be because of the longevity medicine and the revival pill..."
The old man frowned and stared at Tong Qianjun for a long time.
"Just entering the King level, no big deal," he said.
