The group of people in front of him were indeed Kim Tae-ho's bodyguards. There was a total of two hundred of them. All of them had their clothes stripped off, leaving only a pair of shorts to cover their private parts.
There was a dilapidated carriage in the group. Xiao Chen looked at it carefully for a long time before he realized it was the luxurious golden carriage that he had been in before. However, it was now in a terrible state and was beyond recognition.
The golden hood of the carriage was already gone, only a smooth wooden board was left. Under the wooden board was a pair of golden wheels. If it wasn't for these golden wheels, Xiao Chen wouldn't have dared to associate it with the golden carriage he had seen before.
What made Xiao Chen even more speechless was that Kim Tae-ho was wearing a beast skin and sitting casually on the smooth carriage. Furthermore, the people pulling the carriage were actually his subordinates. Even the precious horses had been snatched away.
A group of people ran quickly on the grassland, as though they were avoiding something scary. Kim Tae-ho said loudly, "Can you be faster? This Fat Lord is not that heavy. You are all Martial Grand Masters."
The subordinates were at a loss as they complained, "Young Master, we've been running for two days and two nights. It's time for us to take a break. Or, forget about this treasured carriage. If you run with us, you'll be able to run faster."
Kim Tae-ho said angrily, "This Fat Lord, it was not easy for me to obtain these two wheels. If you just throw them away like that, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
The manservant following behind the carriage suddenly said, "Young Master, there seems to be someone staring at us over there."
Fatso said angrily, "Damn it! Watch me destroy him. Never mind, never mind. Let's not bother about it. We should leave this damn place first."
The manservant continued, "He seems to be walking in our direction."
Fatso's expression changed. He turned his head and looked. When he discovered the person, he revealed a smile and said, "Stop the carriage!"
Fatso was wearing shorts and a Spirit Beast's skin. He looked like a wild man as he quickly ran to Xiao Chen and said, "Master Xiao, it's great to see you. Don't say anything, just give this Fat Brother some clothes first."
Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Fatso's pathetic appearance. A famous saying from his previous life appeared in his mind, "You have to pay for what you have done."
Xiao Chen had a lot of spare clothes in the Universe Ring. However, Fatso's body was too stout. Xiao Chen could not put them on, so he could only drape them over his body.
Although he was still in a sorry state, it was much better than wearing the animal skin. Kim Tae-ho tried his best to put on the pants that Xiao Chen handed him.
After working hard for a long time, he finally managed to put it on. However, before he could relax, there was an explosion. His pants burst from Fatso's fats, turning them into strips of cloth.
Kim Tae-ho had a helpless expression on his face. He could not be bothered with this. He could only tidy himself up a little and said to Xiao Chen embarrassedly, "Erm, can Master Xiao give me some more Spirit Stones?"
Xiao Chen blushed with shame, "You were really robbed?"
Fatso shrugged and said, "Is it not obvious enough? Aside from this Spatial Ring and a coffin lid, I only have two golden wheels. "
The affairs of the world were unpredictable. Life was always so unexpected. Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. To think that Fatso would end up like this. He could only say that the heavens had eyes.
Xiao Chen took out a thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and ten thousand gold taels and handed them to Kim Tae-ho. He said, "What exactly happened? With your strength, even if you could not defeat him, you should have been able to run!"
Although Fatso's strength was average, he had many good things on hand. The dazzling rings and necklaces he wore were not ordinary ornaments.
They were all intact Secret Treasures. It could be said that if both Xiao Chen and Fatso met a peak Martial King, the one who could easily retreat would be Fatso.
This was because this fellow had too many trump cards. Otherwise, he would not have dared to do things so recklessly. He was very confident in his heart.
If he had not met with an iron plate, he would not have ended up in such a sorry state. Xiao Chen was very curious about this iron plate. What exactly happened that caused the fearless Fatso to suffer such a huge loss?
Kim Tae-ho received the Spirit Stones and gold taels and said, "Thank you. This fat brother will remember this favor. Don't ask about anything else. In short, do not be too ruthless in the Devil Savanna. I was tricked by someone. I will not come here again."
After Fatso spoke, he waved his hand. He draped an open robe over his shoulders and wore tattered pants. Then, he jumped back onto the bare carriage.
Like before, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
A few of his subordinates had conflicted expressions as they pulled the tattered carriage and slowly disappeared from Xiao Chen's vision.
In the following two days, the uncomfortable feeling in Xiao Chen's heart became even more obvious. However, because of what happened to Fatso, Xiao Chen became more cautious. He kept his Spiritual Sense within a two kilometer radius.
This slowed him down. However, there was no harm in being cautious. Xiao Chen did not want Fatso's miserable experience to happen to him.
On this particular day, as Xiao Chen walked on the vast savanna, he sent out his Spiritual Sense.
He discovered something unusual. There was not a single sound within a two kilometer radius.
It was very quiet. When Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense, he did not even see the Spirit Beasts that he normally saw. He did not know where they were.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and stopped walking. He said doubtfully, "What's going on? I can't see a single Spirit Beast. The air seems to have stopped flowing."
Something is strange. With a thought, Xiao Chen no longer sent out his Spiritual Sense as a halo. Instead, he gathered it into a thin line and shot it out.
After Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense turned into a thin line, he could extend it to a distance of ten kilometers. Finally, he discovered something else.
At the end of Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense, there was a black flood heading in the direction of Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen looked carefully, this black flood was made up of a group of cavalry wearing pitch-black Battle Armor. A rough count gave at least a thousand of them.
A thousand black cavalry gathered together, giving off an overwhelming aura. Even from a distance, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense felt a huge pressure.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense, and his expression changed slightly. He muttered, "Kim Tae-ho … could he have fallen at the hands of this group of people? I'll change directions first."
Just as Xiao Chen was about to move, he thought of something. He sent out his Spiritual Sense in advance. In the end, he discovered that he was surrounded by these horrifying black cavalry.
Surrounded, Xiao Chen could not help but look at the sky. If there was an opening there, he would be able to leave easily.
However, when Xiao Chen looked up, he discovered that at some point in time, a flock of Fierce Wind Vultures had appeared in the sky. There was a knight wearing black Battle Armor sitting on each Fierce Wind Vulture.
Xiao Chen could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He said, "There is really no way out." "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
Deafening galloping sounds came from the ground. Ten groups of black cavalry kicked up a cloud of dust as they galloped over. Each group of black cavalry had a thousand people; when added together, there were ten thousand of them.
Xiao Chen took a rough look and saw a black mass. The weakest of these ten thousand people was a Martial Grand Master. There were at least a thousand Martial Saints and above.
The auras of over ten thousand people merged together, forming a continuous stretch. Even the air seemed to stop flowing, making it difficult for people to breathe.
These were no longer bandits. This was probably the strength of the Great Qin Nation's elite army.
The ten people in the lead rode on black warhorses. They wore black masks that covered half their faces. They rode the black warhorses and walked in front of Xiao Chen.
The person in the middle should be the leader of this group of people. He was a peak Martial King. Just one glance was enough to make Xiao Chen feel incomparably terrified.
When that person saw Xiao Chen's calm expression, he revealed a faint smile under his mask. He said, "Qingyun Peak's Ye Chen, right? Didn't anyone tell you that you cannot be too ruthless in this Devil Savanna?"
"Hand over five hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. You can leave. You are not allowed to appear in the Devil Savanna in the future," the leader continued.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He quickly thought of a countermeasure. This request was too much; he could not agree to it. He said in a sullen voice, "What if I don't hand it over?"
The leader was not surprised at Xiao Chen's reply. He smiled faintly and said, "You should have seen what happened to Jin Ba Bao. His initial reply was the same as yours."
It turned out that this group of people had their eyes on Fatso. The waters of the Devil Savanna were deeper than Xiao Chen had imagined. No wonder the three noble clans had failed to capture Xiao Chen when they surrounded him.
When the leader saw that Xiao Chen was silent, he muttered, "You are different from Fatso. You have not gone to the extreme. It is fine if you do not hand it over. If you can withstand three palm strikes from me, I will give you a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and a thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. However, you are not allowed to step into the Devil Savanna in the future."
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to reply. The two options that this person gave him were not easy to choose from. The first option would make Xiao Chen bleed.
The latter option looked good. Not only did it not require Xiao Chen to fork out Spirit Stones, it even gave him Spirit Stones. However, three palm strikes from a peak Martial King was not easy to receive. Even if he did not die, he would be severely injured.
Unfortunately, the situation was in the hands of the other party. Xiao Chen did not have many trump cards to choose from. If he did not guess wrong, the other party should be worried about his identity as a member of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. That was why they were not in a rush to make a move.
Otherwise, they would not be speaking so much nonsense with him. Xiao Chen would have ended up like Fatso.
"Not going to say anything? In that case, take it as you choosing the second option, "the black-clothed masked man said indifferently.
Right after he spoke, the black-clothed man had already arrived before Xiao Chen. He sent out a palm strike, creating a boundless whistling sound. It tore through the water-like air and surged towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's expression turned grave. He had no other choice. He quickly circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art. His bones gave off crackling sounds and the image of a ferocious tiger condensed on his body.
When Xiao Chen punched out, the ferocious tiger poured into his arm, carrying a strong force. Xiao Chen clashed with the black-clad man's palm strike. He did not hold back in this punch; it contained a force of eighteen thousand kilograms.
"Bang!"
The fist and palm collided and gave off a loud sound. A shockwave visible to the naked eye surged in all directions, leaving ripples in the air.
A huge force poured into his body from his arm. Xiao Chen felt his internal organs churn. The Qi and blood in his body surged, and hot blood rushed to his head.
