Chapter 42: The Fate-Changing Son-in-Law (Part 4)

Three days later
As Su Chen predicted.
Where there's a chosen one of destiny, nothing good ever comes of it.
The once peaceful mountain range suddenly erupted in a monster riot.
Su Chen encountered members of the Xia family. The Xia family had been attacked by monsters, and Su Chen naturally went to help.
“Young Master Mu Chen…that’s a Spirit Pattern Realm monster!”
Xia Rou was uncertain.
Although Mu Chen was different from before.
He had even defeated Xia Chenfeng, the Xia family’s number one genius.
‘People, the prejudice in their hearts is a mountain.’
Su Chen was speechless.
“Hurry up and lead the way, if we’re too late we’ll only be able to collect corpses.”
Urged by Su Chen, Xia Rou led him to support Xia Chenfeng.
The Xia family members suffered heavy casualties.
Their opponent was a newly awakened Spirit Pattern Realm monster, the Gale Wolf, accompanied by more than a dozen minions.
The Xia family members were no match for it.
Even though Xia Chenfeng held many trump cards.
The cunning wolf king slowly whittled down the Xia family's youth. Before long, once its trump cards were exhausted, the Xia family's youth would all become the wolf pack's prey.
"Damn it, how can there be a wolf king at the Spirit Pattern Realm here!"
Xia Chenfeng was extremely unwilling.
He hadn't yet seen his sister's wedding.
He hadn't yet gained his father's approval.
If he died, would Su Chen bully his sister?
Xia Chenfeng didn't want to die.
But reality seemed to be against him.
In the hidden bushes.
Grandpa Fang Bubai was surprised: "This is actually a mutated wolf king! It seems there's something good nearby!"
"Perhaps a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Little Bubai, you're really lucky."
Seeing Xia Chenfeng being worn down by the wolf king, Fang Bubai wondered whether he should intervene to save Xia Chenfeng's life.
Xia Chenfeng is the son of the current head of the Xia family. If he could rescue Xia Chenfeng from the wolf king, it would definitely forge an alliance between the Fang and Xia families.
The Xia family head's reputation is simply too good.
Just as Fang Bubai was looking for an opportunity,
a person charged into the battlefield, wielding a silver spear, and killed several demonic wolves in succession.
"It's him!"
Fang Bubai recognized the person.
It was Su Chen.
Xia Chenfeng also saw Su Chen, and seeing him surrounded by the wolves, he shouted anxiously, "Mu Chen, I don't need your help, get out of here!"
That was a wolf king at the Spirit Pattern Realm.
Even if Su Chen was powerful,
he wouldn't be a match for a Spirit Pattern Realm wolf king.
Su Chen smiled nonchalantly, "Don't flatter yourself. I came here to hunt down this wolf king and seize the spirit runes on his body."
"Get lost! Don't get in my way while I'm killing the wolf king. You're getting in my way!"
Xia Chenfeng's face flushed red upon hearing this.
Even if he couldn't beat Su Chen,
he wasn't weaklings.
He had worked very hard and was now at the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
However, Xia Chenfeng quickly realized something was wrong.
The wolf pack that had plagued them for so long had been easily wiped out by Su Chen, leaving only the menacing wolf king.
The wolf king had been waiting for Su Chen to make a mistake.
But Su Chen's reaction was far too fast.
He killed the entire wolf pack without leaving a single opening.
The wolf king was wary, but seeing Su Chen kill all his minions, leaving him a bald commander,
enraged. His strength far surpassed that of this human.
Just do it!
A green mark appeared on the Gale Wolf's body; it moved with incredible speed, leaving only a trail of green light in its wake.
Xia Chenfeng's heart leaped into his throat. He cried out, "Watch out, it's behind you!"
The Wolf King appeared behind Su Chen in a flash, its claws sharper than swords.
In a split second,
Su Chen's spear suddenly shifted its focus, a white light flashing at its tip, and thrust towards the Wolf King behind him.
He didn't possess a powerful spiritual body.
But Su Chen's combat experience, whether against humans or beasts, was extremely rich.
The sharp spear pierced towards the Wolf King's abdomen as it leaped into the air.
The Wolf King's expression was ferocious; disregarding its injuries, it was determined to kill Su Chen.
"Trying to die together?"
A disdainful smile appeared on Su Chen's lips.
Heavenly Qi burst forth from his body, forming a defensive barrier.
The wolf king slapped down, causing the defensive barrier to creak and shatter. Just as it seemed about to break, Su Chen reacted quickly, sliding to dodge the wolf king's sharp claws and then stabbing it several times with his spear.
The wolf king howled weakly a few times and collapsed to the ground.
The wolf king, a Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator, was dead just like that?
The Xia family members gaped, the scene before them seeming like an illusion.
Su Chen peeled off the spirit pattern from the Gale Demon Wolf. Although he didn't care much for the pattern, it could easily fetch tens of thousands of gold coins.
Xia Chenfeng's mouth gaped open, wanting to say something, but the words caught in his throat.
After a long pause, Xia Chenfeng uttered two words: "Thank you."
Su Chen carefully put away the spirit pattern and looked at the Xia family members: "You should leave the mountain range first; a beast tide is likely about to erupt here."
Xia Chenfeng asked, "What about you?"
Su Chen glanced at him.
"I'm going to go deeper into the mountain range."
Su Chen naturally sensed that there might be treasure nearby.
He certainly wouldn't give up such a treasure.
The Xia family members exchanged glances, all looking at Xia Chenfeng.
Although Xia Chenfeng didn't know why Su Chen wanted to venture deep into the mountains,
he knew he couldn't stop him.
"Take care!"
Xia Chenfeng led the surviving members of the Xia family back.
Su Chen, on the other hand, headed deeper into the mountains.
Fang Bubai followed behind.
He was determined to seize the opportunity that had appeared in the Qinghe Mountains.
The demonic beasts in the Qinghe Mountains were rampaging, with powerful beasts all rushing in one direction.
Therefore, finding the location of the opportunity was easy for Su Chen.
However, obtaining the opportunity proved difficult for Su Chen.
Dozens of Spirit Pattern Realm demonic beasts were on the outer perimeter.
And inside, there were three or four Spirit Sea Realm demonic beasts.
Even with immense power, he couldn't possibly snatch the opportunity from under the noses of several Spirit Sea Realm demonic beasts.
"I've got it!"
Su Chen, a sudden inspiration, turned and said calmly to those behind him,
"You've been following me all this way; it would be impolite not to come out soon."
There was no sound in the air.
On the surface.
Fang Bubai was startled by Su Chen's sudden turn and words.
"Teacher, has he discovered us?"
Fang Bubai asked the old man telepathically.
"He's bluffing you, stay calm!"
Seeing no one jump out, Su Chen continued, "Brother, I know you've been following me."
"You should have guessed that a treasure has appeared in the mountains. How about we join forces to take it and divide it according to our contributions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a masked man jumped down from a tall tree.
"Ahem, brother, your observation is truly keen; I admire you."
Fang Bubai and the old man were both baffled as to why Su Chen had discovered their movements.
Su Chen remained calm, as if he had expected it.
'Damn it, he really had been following me all along!'
Su Chen was speechless, inwardly thankful for his guess.
If he hadn't been more cautious,
by the time he took action, it would likely have been a life-or-death struggle, ending up with nothing.
