Chapter 67: Let Them Come!

Lu Xiao's neck was suddenly seized by Jiang Chen, and his face turned red instantly.

He could see the cold, murderous intent in Jiang Chen's eyes and felt the suffocating pressure on his throat.

For the first time, Lu Xiao panicked.

With terror-stricken eyes, he couldn't help but beg for mercy.

"I... I was wrong. I... I am willing to kneel and apologize!"

Faced with the critical moment between life and death, Lu Xiao had no choice but to lower his arrogant head.

It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

As long as he returned to the Black Tiger Adventurer Group, he would definitely convince his father to wipe out this boy and the entire Azure Adventurer Group!

Of course, the two peerless beauties, Ye Qingshuang and Meng Qingxue, would stay for him to toy with.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. I hope you'll be a better person in your next life."

Jiang Chen's expression was cold as he tightened his grip on Lu Xiao's neck.

"No!"

Lu Xiao's face contorted in terror, struggling desperately to escape.

But before he could struggle much, Jiang Chen snapped his neck with a quick twist.

Lu Xiao's world turned pitch black as he fell to the ground, unwilling and defeated.

The members of the Azure Adventurer Group stood in shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

The young leader of the formidable Black Tiger Adventurer Group—Lu Xiao, who had dominated Thunderstone City—was defeated so easily!

"This young master, thank you for helping us resolve the crisis today."

Ye Qingshuang finally regained her composure after a moment of astonishment and thanked Jiang Chen sincerely.

"It's just a small matter."

Jiang Chen waved dismissively and smiled. "Leader Ye, you just need to guide us to the Thunder Cloud Mountain Range to find the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Spirit Milk."

"So, you're here for the Heavenly Bamboo Shoots from that place?"

Ye Qingshuang glanced at Meng Qingxue, surprised.

"I can take you there, but leaving the city might be difficult now."

"Lu Xiao's death will likely spread quickly," Ye Qingshuang said with a wry smile. "Lu Xiao's father, Lu Heihu, will soon bring the Black Tiger Adventurer Group here."

"No problem. We'll deal with the Black Tiger Adventurer Group first, then enter the Thunder Cloud Mountain Range."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "How strong is this Black Tiger Adventurer Group?"

"They are very strong, one of the most powerful groups in Thunderstone City."

Ye Qingshuang's expression grew serious. "In addition to their leader, Lu Heihu, who is a ninth-level Qi Protection cultivator, they also have an elder at the ninth level of Qi Protection. Only three adventurer groups in the city can compete with them."

"Two warriors at the ninth level of Qi Protection?"

Jiang Chen smirked. "Don't worry. If they dare to come, I'll ensure they never leave."

With that, Jiang Chen retrieved formation materials he had taken from Gong Yuan and began setting up an array in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, at the Black Tiger Adventurer Group's Base

Lu Heihu was meditating in his room when a sudden knock on the door broke his focus.

He opened his eyes sharply, irritation evident on his face.

"Didn't I say not to disturb me unless it's urgent?" he snapped.

"Leader... it's a disaster! Something happened to the young master!"

The panicked voice outside made Lu Heihu's face change instantly.

In a flash, he appeared outside the room, staring intently at the middle-aged man at the door.

"What happened to Xiao'er?"

The middle-aged man stammered in fear.

"The young master... he... he was killed!"
