Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch. 55 - Black Bear Group

The woman continued to retreat in tandem with every Fu Chen walked over. The woman's face was frightened while holding a dagger in her hand.

"Don't come any closer!" threaten the woman to panic.

Fu Chen did not let him down, he continued to tread with certainty.

"I said don't come any closer! Or me-"

"Or what?" ambush Fu Chen cut off the woman's speech.

"Damn! What the fuck is this kid?" swearing the woman in the heart. The face of the young man before him was extremely cold as if he could kill him at any moment.

The woman then threw the dagger in her hand with all her might and intended to run away. He did not see if Fu Chen had caught the dagger he threw easily.

"I've been lazy to play chases." Fu Chen said before throwing back the dagger he caught.

"Geek!" The woman was choked when a dagger stuck in her leg. He fell down and cried out in pain.

"Don't come any closer! If you dare to kill me then the Black Bear group will be looking for you!" threaten the woman again and keep crawling backwards.

"Black Bear?" Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. The mission that Xiao Jung took was also related to this group. Fu Chen had not expected to meet their members so quickly.

"So you're from that group?" fu Chen asked and stopped his steps.

"Truly.I'm Hang Guan's brother the leader of the group! If you let me live then I'll forget about this!" The woman was quick. His face slowly began to improve as he thought Fu Chen had been frightened after hearing the name.

"Ah, your identity is better than I thought," Fu Chen said with a meaningful smile. "I'll consider not killing you.." After finishing saying that Fu Chen's whereabouts suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the woman.

"But I didn't say I'd let you go." Fu Chen said coldly and slashed one of the woman's legs. "With this you won't be able to escape!"

The woman shouted hysterically, she did not expect that the boy in front just suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind her. Although he still had one leg, but that leg was already stuck by the dagger, however he would not be able to walk normally after this.

Fu Chen glanced back at Xiao Jung's fight with the robbers that was almost over. The fight ended with the robbers surrendering, they certainly did not want to die in vain by fighting someone they should not have faced.

Xiao Jung then took the archer who was still unconscious on top of the tree. He searched Fu Chen's whereabouts for a moment and found the young man was walking over.

"You okay?" Xiao Jung asked a little worriedly and was answered with a nod of his head by Fu Chen.

"There are still two robbers up ahead, seniors can bring him here. I will take the ones that are still on the tree," Fu Chen said before going to retrieve the corpses of the archers he killed.

Xiao Jung looked at Fu Chen with mixed feelings, his speech style felt different. "Maybe he's just exhausted.." Inner Xiao Jung, he tried to understand Fu Chen's current condition.

Xiao Jung was shocked as he approached Fu Chen's designated spot. He saw the figure of the woman who had been a hostage was lying unconscious with one of her legs cut off.

"He is still alive." Xiao Jung muttered after examining the woman's pulse, then he tied a cloth to the cut off part of the woman's leg so that the bleeding could stop.

Xiao Jung walked further and found one more person with a more miserable condition. Xiao Jung shook his head slowly while sighing. He did not expect that the usually very polite child would be so sadistic with his enemy.

Xiao Jung checked the person's pulse and found that he was dead. It was likely that this person died because he was drained of blood from the wide wounds on his back and his severed legs. Xiao Jung did not see any other injuries that made this person lose their lives besides that.

"Let us help you, sir." The leader of the bodyguards said as he watched Xiao Jung carry two people at once.

"What did the young man mean? He said he would take one more person left behind" replied the bodyguard.

"That's it.." Xiao Jung nodded his head. He was only worried because Fu Chen was his current responsibility.

They tied the robbers one by one, Xiao Jung also suggested to the guards to take the robbers' carriage to take them.

Again Xiao Jung could only sigh softly as Fu Chen carried a corpse on his back when he returned. Xiao Jung did not ask Fu Chen to kill them because this must have been heavy for him.

The robbers were no dead other than the four people Fu Chen had killed. The boy was a little away from the party because he was still a little depressed by what he was doing. The bodies were then buried in the forest because they did not want to cause unpleasant odors in the future.

"Thank you, swordsman, if you don't, maybe we won't survive the incident." Said a middle-aged man about 45 years old. This person was the merchant who hired the bodyguards.

"It's nothing, we also happened to pass this path," Xiao Jung replied with a gentle smile.

"If you're interested, would you like to have dinner with us tonight? After all, the day has begun to evening, I feel uncomfortable if I do not entertain you.." Said the merchant politely.

Xiao Jung smiled awkwardly as he scratched his cheek for a moment, he then glanced at Fu Chen who was leaning against a tree by crossing his hands.

Fu Chen realized that gaze, he nodded his head to answer it.

"Alright, we'll trouble you tonight" Xiao Jung replied with an awkward laugh.

The group continued their journey after clearing things up. Fu Chen sat at the very back, close to the robbers, while Xiao Jung sat in the carriage with the merchant.

Fu Chen's gaze continued to be directed at the woman he had just slashed his legs, making the woman continue to pour cold sweat and not dare to speak.

Fu Chen was silent when he heard the swearing made by the robbers. One thing he learned from this, these robbers did not regret their actions despite giving themselves up. Fu Chen had also not told Xiao Jung that these robbers were part of the group they were looking for.

"Hey, what's your name?" Fu Chen asked which made the robbers speechless. They looked at each other because it was unclear who Fu Chen was asking.

"You're leading this robbery, aren't you?" Ask Fu Chen again.

"Right, what else do you want boc-"

"It's not you I mean!" Fu Chen cut the words of the burly man who had previously claimed to be the chief of this robber.

The burly man gulped his saliva when he saw Fu Chen's gaze so cold. The woman who had been silent since glanced at Fu Chen because she felt she was the one this young man meant.

"What do you want?" Asked the woman in a trembling tone.

"What's your name?" Fu Chen repeated his question, his manner of speaking slightly softened.

"Hang Xie.."The reply was brief.

Fu Chen smiled faintly and intended to continue with the other question. "Just calm down, I won't cut off your remaining legs if your answer is satisfactory enough," Fu Chen said as he stroked his sword sheath.

"Look, boy!" Sergey the burly man came back. He looked extremely angry when he saw Fu Chen chuckle at his warning.

Of course Fu Chen was just bluffing with his words, he himself did not actually want to slash the woman's leg if not forced to.
