Chapter: 5612

Leaf Chen spoke one word at a time: "Hong Wu, no matter what happens outside tonight or what kind of commotion arises, you must not reveal my whereabouts to anyone. You cannot let anyone leave here either. If the sun rises tomorrow and I haven't returned yet, you will tell everyone not to look for me. Wait until the news has passed, then disperse and pretend you never knew me. Do you understand?"

Leaf Chen's words left Hong Wu with an expression of utmost astonishment.

He asked somewhat frantically, "Leaf Master, what do you mean? Is there some kind of danger or evil?"

Leaf Chen fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to respond in time.

Is it a trap?

He realized that he should actually have no traps set for him.

The earl from the Jade Clear Assembly was holding three rough-made magical tools that Leaf Chen had created, still treating them as precious treasures. This showed that this person lacked depth in spiritual cultivation.

Moreover, Leaf Chen possessed two attack-type magical tools and a multitude of elixirs at his side, with both offense and defense having a basis to rely on. Moreover, since he was lurking in the shadows while the other party was standing in the open, if things were to start moving, Leaf Chen would also be able to gain an advantage.

So, Leaf Chen felt that no matter what aspect, he had a greater chance of winning than the other party.

If things really got started, Leaf Chen had a very large margin for error and could pin the other party down on the ground.

However, it was what Lin Wan'er advised him that made Leaf Chen slightly worried.

So, Leaf Chen smiled slightly and said sincerely, "I'm not certain whether I have a killer instinct myself, but it's always good to be cautious."

Hong Wu tightened up again and asked anxiously, "Leaf Master, think about it. When you were alone at Longbai Mountain, you killed the eight heavenly kings of the Wu family single-handedly. Those eight people had formidable abilities, not even comparable to yours. And in Jinling, who else could threaten your personal safety?"

Leaf Chen laughed and said, "Hong Wu, don't be so anxious. I'm also a man who has walked all over the world without meeting an enemy worthy of me. It's unlikely that anyone would dare to hurt me."

He then changed his tone and said, "But humans can't always be too confident or reckless. Only when they are humble and cautious can their success rate increase."

Hong Wu saw Leaf Chen's words were lighthearted, but felt something was amiss in his heart, so he told Leaf Chen, "Leaf Master, Xiang Xi has hundreds of martial artists now. If there is an enemy who wants to trouble you, these many people could easily drown them in their saliva! What instructions do you have, and I'll go arrange it right away?"

"It's not necessary," Leaf Chen waved his hand and said calmly, "Having many people isn't always a good thing. Just don't follow me around."

Hong Wu blurted out, "Why, Master? The human wave tactic has always been one of our strengths. With this advantage, why wouldn't we let it showcase its greatest value?"

Leaf Chen smiled and shook his head, "In such times, the human wave tactic isn't useful at all."

Leaf Chen was very clear in his mind that martial artists are powerless when facing a master who is skilled in spiritual energy.

The difference between these two parties' abilities is as vast as heaven and earth. Even if there are hundreds of martial artists, they would still be unable to get close to their bodies because the other party's speed of movement, attack speed, and reaction ability are all much faster than theirs.

In this kind of situation, the more martial artists there are, the less effective they'll be in achieving anything, and they might even make the scene more chaotic, giving the other side a greater advantage.

I truly want to kill the cultivator, either I need a stronger cultivator to take on the task or I should just go straight for modernized killing weapons.

It's like a near-defense cannon network that can fire at an extremely high rate and with great destructive power. If you use this kind of weapon against a cultivator, it would be no problem to kill tens of people in one breath.

Then Leaf Chen told Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, don't bother expressing your opinions on this matter anymore. Everything will be according to my instructions." JrNovels.com
