Unfettered Retribution: Slaughtering My Way through the World Chapter 49: Take All 3 Punches, and I’ll Leave

Amidst the trampled grass.

Right Protector Xiang Tao lay there, his face contorted in agony. Blood gushed from his wounds and mouth as if it were free, impossible to staunch.

He felt an excruciating pain wracking his entire body, so intense that he couldn’t even seem to move a single finger.

Even now, he still couldn’t believe it.

’I’m at the Fifth Layer of Transforming Force...’

Even though he had been injured beforehand, he was still a genuine master of the Transforming Force Realm.

’How could Chen Xuan have pierced my body with a single palm strike...’

’Could it be that Chen Xuan has already broken through?’

His mind was filled with countless questions, but he felt his vision rapidly darkening as his life force quickly drained away...

’I’m dying just like this?’

’I barely managed to escape from the Black Water Gang’s Gang Leader and the Poisonous Snake Sect’s Sect Leader. How can I die here?’

Deep regret and resentnt filled Xiang Tao’s eyes.

"Xiang Protector, are you alright? Should I call for a doctor?"

Chen Xuan appeared at Xiang Tao’s side at just the right mont, asking softly.

"I... I... am filled with such hatred..."

Xiang Tao’s mouth moved with great difficulty, endless bloody foam bubbling out. His eyes, wide as eggs, seed to be trying to burn Chen Xuan’s face into his mory.

His throat bobbed once, with great effort, and then he fell completely still.

A light breeze blew, spreading the stench of blood across the land.

[You have killed the Right Protector, who died filled with regret and resentnt. Retribution points 3000!]

A line of text appeared.

’3,000 points, sa as those five from before?’

Chen Xuan mused.

’And this Xiang Tao’s strength doesn’t seem that impressive.’

’His attacks didn’t even hurt.’

’His strength seems to be only around the Fourth or Fifth Layer of Transforming Force.’

Never mind that he was severely injured; even at his peak, Chen Xuan could have beaten him to death.

Of course, now that the man was dead, a weight had been lifted from Chen Xuan’s mind.

However!

’How much of what he just said was true?’

’Were the Gang Leader and Zuo Qiuyun really killed?’

Chen Xuan bent down and began searching Xiang Tao’s body.

Unfortunately, Xiang Tao seed to have left in a great hurry, as he wasn’t carrying any possessions.

Just as he stood up again, preparing to leave, he suddenly sensed sothing. His burly figure froze, and his gaze snapped back toward the dark woods.

’Soone else is here?’

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

As Jia Gui and the others waited with suspicion, the sound of rushing wind howled from the woods as two figures, one on the left and one on the right, charged toward them at an incredible speed.

It was a man and a woman, one with a longsword and the other with a long saber, both reeking of blood.

They seed to have been specifically tracking Xiang Tao.

When they saw Chen Xuan and his group, they quickly stopped, their brows furrowing as their eyes scanned the area ahead.

Suddenly, their pupils constricted as they discovered Xiang Tao’s body in the grass, his eyes wide open in death.

"You killed Xiang Tao?"

The woman was slightly surprised, her gaze sweeping over Chen Xuan.

She seed surprised that Xiang Tao had died here.

"No. He just ran over here and suddenly died,"

Chen Xuan said.

"Is that so?"

Smiles appeared on both of their faces.

’Trying to feign weakness before launching a surprise attack?’

’Perhaps that’s how Xiang Tao died.’

"Kid, you’re pretty clever, knowing to hide your strength. But unfortunately for you, it’s useless against us."

The saber-wielding man wore a grim smile, his eyes glinting nacingly in the moonlight. As he walked forward, he suddenly seed to recognize the clothes Chen Xuan was wearing and showed a hint of surprise.

"You’re from the Red Sand Gang?"

"That’s right. Chen Xuan, Sect Leader of the Red Sand Gang’s Qingshui Sect!"

"You’re *that* Chen Xuan?"

The saber-wielding man’s eyes flashed with even greater surprise. He laughed, "Good, good. It seems good things co in pairs tonight. First, we dealt with Xiang Tao, and now I’ve run into you. Heaven is truly on my side. You’re coming with us!"

"I’m not going!"

Chen Xuan shook his head.

"You refuse?"

The saber-wielding man’s eyes narrowed as he sneered, "It’s not up to you. You’re coming whether you like it or not!"

His body shot forward with extre speed. He brought the flat of his saber down hard on Chen Xuan’s shoulder, the blade humming with Qi Energy as it let out a piercing sound.

"Get down!"

CLANG!

A loud crash echoed as Qi Energy bood.

The saber-wielding man’s face went blank. The fine long saber in his hands was knocked from his grasp, flying high into the air. A sharp, tearing pain shot through both of his palms, ripping open the webbing between his thumbs and forefingers.

And Chen Xuan had rely raised his arm to block.

"You!"

The saber-wielding man’s face was a mask of horror. He could hardly believe it.

Without a word, Chen Xuan stomped his foot. His body seed to teleport, closing the distance in an instant. BOOM! His fist slamd violently into the man’s abdon, causing him to spit up a mouthful of blood and scream in agony. His entire body was blasted through.

He flew back more than ten ters, carried by a terrifying force, before crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance with a muffled CRACK. He never moved again.

[...retribution points 3000!]

"See? I wasn’t lying. Xiang Tao was just like that. He ran all the way here and then suddenly died."

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat as he shook out his hand.

His dark eyes swept directly toward the masked woman.

"And what about you, beautiful lady?"

His calm voice echoed in the silence, which was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

The woman, who had just been wearing a mocking smile, found her expression frozen. The smile vanished completely as she stared at Chen Xuan in utter disbelief.

’This... What kind of fucking joke is this?’

’The Gang Leader of the Black Water Gang, a Fourth Layer Transforming Force master, was killed in a single blow?’

"Who... Who in the world are you?"

the woman cried out in alarm.

"Chen Xuan. Didn’t I just say so?"

Chen Xuan replied as he walked forward.

"That’s impossible..."

the woman said, her voice filled with shock.

’Forget Chen Xuan, not even the Left or Right Protectors possessed this kind of strength.’

’This Chen Xuan, a re sect leader of a branch sect, has power comparable to the Protectors?’

’What is Hong Wentong doing?’

’He has soone this strong under him, and he just tossed him into a branch sect?’

Suddenly, the woman snapped out of it and began to back away.

’Regardless of whether he’s really Chen Xuan, his power is just too bizarre.’

’Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.’

Just as she was about to turn and flee for her life, Chen Xuan’s voice suddenly rang out. "I’d advise you not to run. The mont you turn, your back will be exposed. One punch from , and you’ll surely die!"

"You!"

The woman’s pupils shrank. She looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "What do you want?"

"You know, I just had a breakthrough and haven’t unleashed my full power yet. Even I don’t know how strong I am when I go all out."

Chen Xuan continued to walk closer. "So, I’ll give you a chance!"

He stopped, standing three ters in front of the woman.

His eyes were like those of a great beast in the night, locked onto her.

"Next, I will strike you with three punches, using my full strength!"

"If you can take all three of these punches!"

"I’ll leave!"

At these words, the woman’s heart sank. She stared intently at Chen Xuan.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. I never lie!"

Chen Xuan said lightly.

’After three punches, there are another three punches.’

’Eventually, there’ll co a ti when you can’t take it anymore.’

"Fine, then!"

The masked woman suddenly took a deep breath, suppressing the anxieties and agitations in her heart. She tensed her muscles, and powerful energy instantly flooded the surface of her body. Her ridians and bones crackled, and suddenly, a bloody mist erupted from her body...

Blood Combustion Secret Technique!

WHOOSH!

Without a second thought, she turned and fled, her body moving like an arrow released from a bow, unbelievably fast.

’Only an idiot would believe that nonsense!’

’After three punches, I’d be severely injured and would only die faster.’

She, Qu Qinglin, had always only trusted herself.

Although her power would also surge while using Blood Combustion, she still had no confidence she could defeat this unfathomable monster. If the Blood Combustion wore off and she hadn’t taken him down, death would be inevitable.

Therefore, fleeing was the only sure way to win.

...

Run, run, run!
