It was just after eight in the evening, following dinner and some dessert, when Lin Ruoxue went upstairs to continue working, and Su Chen returned to his own room to start cultivating.
Of course, while Su Chen was cultivating, he was fully capable of multitasking, keeping an ear out for any sounds outside!
By eleven, Lin Ruoxue had turned off her lights and gone to bed, and a few minutes later, Su Chen did the same.
Of course, it was entirely based on the sound of the switch that Su Chen knew those people had not yet made their move, surely waiting for everyone to be sound asleep before acting.
Moreover, the first target would definitely be himself, they wouldn't dare touch Mother Wang or Lin Ruoxue before dealing with him.
But how could Su Chen give them that opportunity?
"Mr. He, is it about time?"
An hour later, a man outside the villa asked somewhat anxiously.
The "Mr. He" he referred to was naturally the man in the black robe.
The others also looked at him eagerly; they were all still waiting to have a taste of Jiangnan's number one beauty!
"Alright, get ready to move. First, take down the window, then enter through it. Let's deal with that young man together first," the man in the black robe said after a moment's contemplation, feeling that the people inside must be asleep by now.
Just as they were about to get up, a faint voice came from behind them.
"Why go through the window when there's a door?"
At the sound of that voice, everyone jumped in fright.
It was no wonder, given the desolate surroundings and the clear moonlit starry sky, that a sudden voice behind them would be so eerie!
Moreover, these were no ordinary people; the mere fact that someone had gotten so close without being noticed made them fearful!
Especially the men in black and white robes, who instantly broke out in cold sweats, knowing all too well what this implied!
All turned rigidly, facing a young man with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette in his mouth.
The glowing tip of the cigarette flickered in the night, starkly conspicuous, while a mocking smile played upon the young man's face as he watched them...
When they discerned his features by the moonlight, they were utterly astonished!
Because this young man was precisely the target they intended to kill!
They had thought taking down this young man would be easy, but it now seemed he was much trickier than they had anticipated!
Although before leaving, Madam Wu had informed them that this young man was formidable, having taken down more than a dozen security guards by himself.
But at the time, they had been dismissive; to them, defeating a dozen security guards seemed trivial, almost any one of them could do it.
However, their opinions were undoubtedly different now. Many could take down over a dozen guards, but very few could appear behind them soundlessly!
At this moment, the men in the white and black robes exchanged glances, then nodded to each other subtly.
Su Chen, seeing the man in the black robe and the white robe, immediately understood that the four assassins he had encountered when he took the taxi home were from the Wu Family, as their clothes were the same.
Those four must undoubtedly have been sent by Wu Yuanpin, though Su Chen was curious as his previous encounter with one black-robed and three white-robed men had been resolved by him, why the people sent now seemed even weaker, comprising only one in black and one in white.
Su Chen could tell that among the six present, only these two were martial artists; the rest could at best be considered skilled fighters.
It seemed Wu Yuanpin hadn't informed his family about the previous incident; however, Su Chen quickly realized this was likely due to the family's pride.
But now was not the time to think about this, Su Chen tilted his head and casually asked,
"Are you here to capture me, or to kill me?"
"Does it make a difference?"
The man in the black robe shot back, his muscles tensing in readiness for the next move.
"There's no difference; you all are eventually staying here today."
Su Chen gave a faint smile.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, those six men were shocked!
Judging by the young man's words, he intended to take their lives!
That was overly arrogant!
Even if we underestimated you, thinking you could handle all six of us is too conceited!
This was especially true for the four ordinary men.
"You are certainly boastful!"
The man in the black robe snorted coldly.
"If you don't believe it, feel free to try."
Su Chen casually shrugged.
"Fine, then let's witness your great skills!"
The man in the black robe shouted:
"Everyone, attack together!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the four men roared and charged at Su Chen like a rushing river, with overwhelming momentum!
Su Chen snorted coldly, flicked his cigarette butt casually and it shot out like a bullet, hitting one of them right in the eye.
The man immediately stopped in his tracks, covering his eye and crying out in pain...
At the same time, Su Chen's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the other three men, then his hands shot out like lightning and simultaneously grabbed two of their necks.
Unexpectedly, the black-robed man and the white-robed man at the back did not charge forward but turned around and fled instantly, the speed was indeed quick!
"Thinking of escaping?" Su Chen watched the black-robed and white-robed men getting further away and sneered, "Do you think you can?"
Meanwhile, he exerted a slight force with his hands, and two "crack" sounds followed, then Su Chen nonchalantly threw the two lifeless bodies to the ground.
The other man was horrified to see that the young man had dispatched his two comrades in an instant!
He turned his head to find that his side's two strongest players had already fled, which terrified him even more, and he too prepared to turn and run.
But before he could turn around, the young man's foot kicked out. He was taken aback, hastily crossed his arms to block the incoming attack.
The muffled sound and the sound of bone breaking occurred simultaneously, and his body flew out like a kite with its string cut.
When he hit the ground, not only were his arms broken, but his chest was also caved in heavily, clearly dead beyond any doubt!
The man whose eye was burned by Su Chen's cigarette butt had become the last survivor other than the two martial artists who had run away due to his initial hesitation.
Seeing Su Chen approaching, knowing he could not escape, he immediately knelt down:
"Big brother, please, spare me!"
Su Chen coldly snorted without any expression, then slapped down, and the man's head burst open like a watermelon, with red and white splatters all over the ground...
Su Chen would spare no one, particularly not him, as he remembered his voice being the one who initially spoke about wanting to "taste" Lin Ruoxue.
Now that Lin Ruoxue had become Su Chen's protective talisman, he could not tolerate the man who had defiled his wife living...
