Chapter 43: Night Demon

Bang!

Wood chips exploded everywhere .

Everyone gasped, thoroughly shocked, as Yan Wushuang’s face suddenly became intimately familiar with the wooden table . The extremely hard wooden table was instantly destroyed . The strength that Su Chen had used could be imagined .

The face that had successfully defeated the table had changed shape and swelled . A peerlessly beautiful face had become swollen like a pig’s head . It was truly too horrible to look at .

“Su Chen!” When Su Cheng’an saw Yan Wushuang lying on the ground, unable to even moan, his heart ached and his anger flared .

Su Chen retrieved his hand, then said, “That was the interest . ”

He turned around and left .

Seeing Su Chen’s back, Su Cheng’an was so angry that his entire body trembled, but in the end he only said one sentence . “Unfilial son!”

On that day, everyone there witnessed firsthand Su Chen’s tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and vicious nature . This scene left fear and apprehension in the hearts of many regarding this terrifying young master .

However, what no one could predict was that not long in the future this slight apprehension would become a headache or even absolute dread .

After teaching Yan Wushuang a lesson, Su Chen naturally went home with his mother and his uncle, Su Feihu . Under his mother’s concerned and repeated questioning, he finally told her some of the events that had occurred in the Scarlet Mountain Range .

Of course, Su Chen could not tell her that he had gone out to battle Vicious Beasts . He only said that as soon as he had entered the Mountain Range, a kind-hearted person had acted as his guide, and lead him to a relatively safe cave where he stayed . In the a hundred days, he had only encountered two common Wild Beasts, which had all been easily taken care of by him . Even so, Tang Hongrui trembled with fear when she heard this, as if her son was too weak to even stand up to a house cat .

However, Su Feihu looked at Su Chen thoughtfully, his eyes filled with suspicion .

He could tell that Su Chen was hiding something, but in the end he could not figure out what that something was .

He stayed with his mother, conversing with her until she went to bed . Su Chen then returned, alone, to the Dustsift Courtyard .

Upon entering his room, Su Chen told Jianxin and the others to leave before saying to the shadow in the room, “Come out . ”

The black-clothed man’s figure rippled into view . “This time I made sure to completely suppress my heartbeat and my breathing . How did you discover me?”

His tone was one of complete confusion .

Su Chen laughed to himself . Shouldn’t discovering you be easy? You were just standing there unmoving and I saw you immediately .

However, he said, “Your plan depended on my survival . In addition, I also borrowed four of your Origin Tools . Since I have returned, how could you not come by to take them back? I just carelessly called out assuming you were here . ”

“So you just made a wild guess . ” The black-clothed person let out a sigh of relief, which also contained some frustration .

Su Chen found the other party to be somewhat adorably foolish . He said with some amusement, “How long have you waited here? You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I brought some things for you to eat . ”

He carelessly brought out a box of pastries . These were given to him by his mother before he left . Su Chen did not like to eat them, so he gave them all to the black-clothed person .

The black-clothed person was not wary at all . It seemed as if he was genuinely hungry, as he actually began to eat . He ate a thousand-layer pastry in a few bites . His eyes began to gleam as he nodded his head . “Very tasty!”

He ate the entire box of pastries in one breath .

Su Chen was not in a hurry . Once the other party had finished eating, he said, “The reason why I could come back safely was entirely due to these four Origin Tools . Since I have returned, I should return them to their rightful owner . ”

As he spoke, he handed over the sack on his back to the black-clothed person .

The black-clothed person received the sack and opened it to take a look . Apart from the medicinal pills, the Cracked Soul Magic Pearls, and the Origin Stones, which had not been returned, the four Origin Tools were all there . The Origin Stones, etc . were originally given to Su Chen as consumables, and the black-clothed person had never intended to ask for them back . Thus, he nodded and said, “Since everything has been taken care of, then I will bid farewell for now . ”

“Wait a moment,” Su Chen said .

“What do you want?” The black-clothed person gazed at him, his eyes becoming vigilant .

Damn, why weren’t you so vigilant when you were eating? Just a simple “wait a moment” is enough to make you nervous?

Su Chen silently cursed, but he said, “I just want to know what I should call you . After all, we have met a few times already . I can’t just keep on calling you ‘black-clothed person’, can I?”

“This…… we might not have any opportunities to meet again in the future, will we?” the black-clothed person hesitated for a moment before saying .

“That might not be true . I still have something that I would like your help with,” Su Chen said .

“Su Chen, don’t be too audacious!” the black-clothed person immediately said .

“Can you wait for me to finish, please?” Su Chen said, “I just want a mid-tier Origin Energy Absorption cultivation technique and two Origin Skills . You don’t need to give them to me for free; I will buy them . ”

“You’ve reached the Qi Drawing Realm?” The black-clothed person was dazed .

Su Chen shook his head . “Not yet . However, I received a lot of benefits from my journey into the Scarlet Mountain Range . You also know that I was originally in the ninth layer of Body Tempering when I left . After being tempered for a hundred days in the Scarlet Mountain Range, I have already entered the late stages of the ninth layer of Body Tempering . Perhaps not long in the future I will be charging into the Qi Drawing Realm . Maybe even in these coming months . ”

Su Chen did not intend on hiding his progress . All he needed to do was push back the success that he had already had to sometime in the future, and everything would logically fall into place .

Basic Origin Energy Absorption techniques were only suitable for Body Tempering cultivators . Upon entering the Qi Drawing Realm, one would need a more powerful magic technique that had a correspondingly stronger absorption ability .

Absorption techniques were split into preliminary, mid, high, and top-tier, but there was no limit on cultivation base . That was to say that after reaching the Qi Drawing Realm, one could cultivate any absorption technique . The only limitation was that higher-tier absorption techniques were harder to obtain .

Su Chen did not dare to hope for an absorption technique that was too high-tier . Thus, in the end he only asked for a mid-tier one .

The black-clothed man believed him . “So it was like this . However, doesn’t your Su Clan have absorption techniques and Origin Skills? You are a disciple of the Su Clan . As long as you have reached the boundary, you should be able to request them for free . ”

Su Chen asked, “You already know what has happened since I returned right?”

The black-clothed person nodded . “You have a very awful father . ”

“Thus, the first reason is that I don’t want to use any more of the Su Clan’s resources in the future . ”

“So it was like this . ” The black-clothed man began to understand Su Chen’s intention . He was slowly but surely drawing a line between himself and the Su Clan .

In reality, Su Chen’s actions were drawing a clear dividing line between him and the Su Clan, but at the same time this was a way of protecting the Su Clan .

After all, he was essentially blackmailing a large organization . No one could anticipate what would happen in the future .

Drawing this dividing line was in and of itself a protection for the Su Clan .

Su Chen’s grudge with the Su clan ran deep, but he would personally deal with those whom he hated . He would not use someone else’s hand to accomplish it .

If he were to bring disaster upon the Su Clan because of his own actions, the nature of that would be completely different . No matter how unfairly the Su Clan treated him, it had not progressed to the point where he was willing to exterminate them .

“Then what’s the second reason?” The black-clothed person was not stupid, just a bit foolish . With one there would definitely be a second .

“I’m not satisfied with the Su Clan’s magic techniques,” Su Chen said straightforwardly . “The Su Clan is just a newly rich household . It was established single-handedly by my grandfather, but because of this its foundation is not deep enough and is actually too shallow for my needs . It’s the most meager of the four households . When discussing magic techniques or Origin Skills, the number that we have is pitiful . For your organization to be able to carelessly pull out four Origin Tools means that its strength must be many times that of the Su Clan . I believe that they definitely have better magic techniques . When cultivating, it’s best to choose one quality product over ten crappy ones . ”

In actuality, there was a third reason, which was that Su Chen wanted to conceal the fact that he had already entered the Qi Drawing Realm . The Su Clan’s magic techniques and Origin Skills could only be taken for free when one had reached the boundary of Body Tempering . He did not intend on revealing his true strength, so he could only seek outside help . However, he did not need to tell the black-clothed man this point .

Upon hearing Su Chen’s words, the black-clothed person was very satisfied . “Of course, if you want to talk about outstanding cultivation techniques, even the Hidden Dragon Library might not be comparable to our Eternal……”

The black-clothed person hurriedly put on the brakes, narrowly avoiding speaking out the name of his organization .

Su Chen pretended not to notice, “That is to say that it is possible to make this transaction?”

“I need to go back and ask,” the black-clothed person postured . However, based on the other party’s tone, there shouldn’t be any difficulties with this .

“Now can you tell me your name?”

“You can call me… Night Demon . ”
