Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.126 - Plan
Fu Chen grimaced softly once the group of warriors had left. The swordsman's spear stuck into the piece of meat that Fu Chen took out of the Earth's ring. The meat had been streamed qi, thus making it harder than usual.
Fu Chen only hoped that his charade had not been excessive. He then glanced at the table where Su Anna had previously sat, the woman was no longer there but the bodies of her guards were simply left alone.
As Fu Chen guessed, when he looked out the window a group of warriors was able to leave the restaurant without a hitch of anything.
Actually Fu Chen was quite reluctant to interfere in this business, but seeing a woman who was brought by several men made him remember the events told by the residents about the Fu Mei incident.
Fu Chen then jumped out the window, he landed on one of the roofs of the building smoothly. Fu Chen quickly dispelled the air of his presence to follow those people. Fu Chen would think of a way to deal with the warrior King later, the most important thing was to take the girl away.
"Ah.. so I also have to go, what a pity." Dou Huang took a slow breath, "But it looks like the boy will do something interesting."
Seeing the behavior of Fu Chen now made Dou Huang remember his youth first. Dou Huang used to always interfere in the affairs of others if he was there, making him receive a great deal of trouble back then.
While Fu Chen was trailing the party out of the City, Hong Jitei appeared to rush back to his residence. Some of his subordinates also no longer followed him, Jong Jieti's clothes looked shabby and dirty.
Hong Jitei quickly approached the 10 soldiers assigned to guard Su Anna around her residence. His face was deathly pale, as if he had just experienced something terrible.
Some of the soldiers who realized it also immediately approached the Mayor.
"Why you? Where is Miss Su and the others?" asked a soldier anxiously as soon as he saw Hong Jitei's expression.
"Hurry and call your friends! Miss Su has been kidnapped!" hong Jitei stammered.
"What are you talking about?! Say it clearly!" The soldier raised his voice.
"I told you Miss Su was kidnapped! He was just brought in by a group of warriors, you better hurry up and chase that guy!"
"Damn!" The prakurit sizzled, "What about you?"
"Forgot me, the kidnappers ran out of town, they might not be too far away."
"Good! Take care of yourself here" said the soldier, quickly.
Hong Jitei then smiled faintly as he saw the soldiers start riding their horses and chasing in the direction he pointed. With the abilities of the soldiers who were only second-rate warriors, Hong Jitei was confident that they would die at the hands of the swordsman.
As the soldiers passed through the restaurant that Su Anna had previously been in, they felt that there was some awkwardness there. The place was still crowded with visitors, as if nothing had happened before.
But they did not want to get too late with that thought, now the priority was Miss Su's safety.

"Hmmm! Hmmmph!!"
Su Anna tried to wriggle as she began to be put in the horse carriage. His legs and hands were tied, while his mouth was chopped off by pieces of cloth from the clothes he was wearing.
The kidnappers made it out of Dianxi City easily. Because it seems like the people who have high standing in this City are on the same side as the kidnappers.
Fu Chen was still trailing them from a distance, he planned to cripple them one by one while in the middle of the forest. This late night will definitely help, Fu Chen thought.
"Come fast! The party is still not over" the swordsman Wong Pei ordered with a big smile.
They then spurred his horse faster, making Fu Chen slightly increase his speed so as not to fall too far behind. Fu Chen was actually still curious as to who the perpetrator who attacked him in the restaurant earlier, but he felt no other existence other than that group of warriors.
Sometime after the group entered the forest, they suddenly slowed down the pace of their horses. Fu Chen hid behind a tree branch there, he narrowed his eyes in order to notice the movements of the group.
"Son, looks like we've got a new guest." The voice of Dou Huang again sounded in Fu Chen's ears.
"Are they one group with these people?" Fu Chen sat down, he was a little worried if the kidnappers were to multiply.
"It seems not.." Dou Huang replied, "their aura is much different from that of the kidnappers."
The soldiers drove their horses quickly as soon as they saw another entourage in front. To be right or wrong, they had to check out the suspicious entourage.
"Don't let your guard down! There might be traps around here!" exclaim a soldier who leads in the front row.
"So they came too!" Wong Pei smiled widely, they stopped their horses to welcome the soldiers' arrival.
"Stop right there! We'll do the check!" exclaimed the leader of the soldiers, he and some of his colleagues immediately approached Wong Pei's entourage slowly.
"Haha.no need to bother checking it out, the person you're looking for is inside." Wong Pei grinned widely, his left hand slightly raised to make his men move immediately.
"You-you! You dare to fight the Imperial soldiers? You know what the risk is? You'll be hunted to death!" The warrior leader increased his vigilance.
"Devil warrior with the Empire!" Wong Pei smiled mockingly, "Stop them right now!"
Fu Chen was a little surprised to find out that the party was an Imperial soldier, he did not expect that the soldiers had high enough strength even though they were only ordered as bodyguards.
Fu Chen then made use of the battle that had started to break out to sneak in. His eyes could not help but watch over Wong Pei who was still sitting leisurely on the horse, he was seen enjoying the battle.
Fu Chen immediately moved agilely, he incapacitated several warriors who were behind in a single blow to the neck. He did it for less than five seconds, leaving the other swordsman unaware of it.
Before he approached Su Anna's horse carriage, Fu Chen had a glance at where Wong Pei had been before but that person suddenly disappeared from there.
"Where did he go?" Fu Chen increased his alertness, he immediately jumped forward by spinning in the air as something almost touched his shoulder.
"Oh.. very good reflexes!" Wong Pei grinned broadly, "Look! How did you get to live and get here?"
Fu Chen swallowed his saliva for a moment, it seemed like his sneak ability still needed to be honed again. If he was caught this time there might not be a second chance for him to be able to live.
Fu Chen watched around, before he had crippled some first-rate warriors and left behind a warrior who was still fighting with the soldiers and a combat general who was just observing Wong Pei.
"You dare to turn away when you face me? Your head is big too, boy!" Wong Pei was a little hooked.
"I also feel like I'm crazy for coming to this place with no clear purpose." Fu Chen confirmed his position, then immediately pulled out his sword from the Earth ring.
Wong Pei slightly flinched as suddenly a sword appeared in the air, "Hahaha.you have an interesting trick, but it's useless in front of me!"
Wong Pei immediately lunged towards Fu Chen after mapping it, he attacked with his bare hands, his weapon in the form of a long spear was still stored near the horse on his mount.
Fu Chen fended off and resisted every attack from Wong Pei, himself steadily retreating slowly as Wong Pei did not stop launching powerful attacks.
"Ugh, this is heavy!" Fu Chen muttered as he was dragged backwards after resisting Wong Pei's attack.
This strength of Wong Pei was at least slightly stronger than the stone warrior Dou Huang had made. But facing Wong Pei felt heavier because he had his own techniques.
"Your abilities are indeed great for a Combat General. I don't think you're part of those soldiers, so who are you?"
"It's a pity, but I don't intend to talk to you." Fu Chen re-installed the horses, he knew the current Wong Pei was still underestimating him and it was a great opportunity.
"Alright, this can be counted as a test of my practice of the past few months."
