However, in response to him, Chen Anlin swiftly struck with his sword. A flash of yellow light pierced through his chest with a whoosh. The momentum did not decrease as it swept towards the others.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
After a few screams, a group of people fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Xiao Ling, see if there are any treasures," Chen Anlin said.
"Ah! Ah!" Yu Xiaoling excitedly stepped forward.
Inside the room, there were entire boxes filled with items. Yu Xiaoling casually opened one box, and to her surprise, it was filled with blood pills—at least a hundred of them by estimation. Unfortunately, these blood pills were of no use to her.
In the remaining boxes, there were medicinal herbs as well as gold and silver. Chen Anlin collected them all one by one. Additionally, he discovered three earth-grade weapons of decent quality, which he planned to give away later.
After confirming that there was nothing else here, Chen Anlin decided to leave.
"This place is large; there might be other areas. Brother Chen, let me check out the other places," Yu Xiaoling suggested eagerly.
"Alright," Chen Anlin nodded.
Yu Xiaoling seemed to possess a treasure-hunting ability, able to keenly sense where some treasures were located. Since that was the case, he decided to let her lead the way.
He then walked towards another house. At this moment, sounds of fighting could be heard from nearby.
"Tang Liu, you dare oppose me? You traitorous scoundrel, I will kill you!" a hoarse voice shouted angrily.
"Young Master Shen, this young lady is just the little daughter of the Gu family; she knows nothing about this. There's no need to target her, right?"
"Tang Liu, get out of my way now, or I will break your legs!"
"Young Master Shen, no!"
"Hit him!"
In the courtyard, Tang Liu was kicked out forcefully.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Anlin couldn't help but laugh.
How interesting, he thought, to run into an acquaintance. He never expected to see Tang Liu here. This was the same person who had previously mingled with a group of tomb raiders, a child of destiny who had now appeared in this place. Judging by his strength, he had grown considerably.
Back then, Chen Anlin found Tang Liu quite perceptive and respected him greatly. He had intended to spare this child of fate's life to see how he would develop. As it turned out, without his interference, the child of destiny had indeed fared well. Moreover, judging by the current situation, it seemed he had joined the Shen family.
However, this time, Tang Liu was willing to turn against his employer just to protect a woman. After being kicked hard, he dared not retaliate and struggled to get up, speaking in a low and humble tone: "Young Master Shen, I am willing to be your servant; please spare this young lady. She saved my life before."
"You worthless life has no right to bargain with me. Kill him," Young Master Shen scoffed.
"Hey, Young Master Shen, someone is coming!"
One of Shen's men noticed Chen Anlin's figure and frowned.
Young Master Shen raised his head and said with a scowl: "Where did this dog come from? Get lost!"
Chen Anlin thought to himself: I haven't even spoken yet, and you're already looking for trouble?
As they told him to leave, Chen Anlin deliberately took a step further inside.
"Huh? Kid, did you hear that? My young master told you to get lost! Are you deaf?"
One of the guards brandished his knife and swaggered toward Chen Anlin while cursing loudly.
With a swift motion, Chen Anlin flicked his wrist, sending a blade of sword energy slicing through the guard's throat.
The guard clutched his bleeding neck, fear evident in his eyes as he pointed at Chen Anlin, ultimately collapsing in resignation.
Shen Shao's pupils constricted; instead of fear, he felt a surge of anger. The Shen family was a dominant force here, and this unknown intruder had the audacity to kill his subordinate—he was practically asking for death.
"I want him dead, and I want it to be brutal!" Shen Shao shouted, hands on his hips, pointing at Chen Anlin.
Behind him, more than twenty subordinates charged forward in unison.
Chen Anlin shook his head; among this group, the strongest was merely a fifth-tier warrior.
"Kill them all, Bai Yu Xianzi!" he commanded.
Bai Yu Xianzi replied excitedly, "I’ll show off my skills now!" She knew she had to impress Chen Anlin to obtain the Blood Pill from him.
In an instant, she dashed forward. With her soul power nearly fully restored, these opponents were no match for her.
In mere moments, the group erupted into piercing screams of agony.
Chen Anlin stepped closer to Shen Shao, noticing a virtual aura of fortune hovering above him—it was substantial. It seemed this man had acquired something valuable.
"Hand over your treasures," Chen Anlin said decisively.
Seeing his subordinates perish in an instant, Shen Shao truly panicked. He never imagined his luck would turn so dire and that he would encounter such formidable resistance.
"I-I'll give it to you! Please spare my life!" he stammered, hastily producing a piece of pale yellow stone.
