Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 440: Alone on the Arena

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. By the way, what do you think of the island lord of Luo Zhong Island?"

Bai Qianchi looked at Chu Chen with suspicion: "You mean that hypocritical old man?"

"Yes, these past few days there have been rumors that the island lord hates you to the bone, yet you still dare to come here?"

"Heh, he wouldn't dare kill me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen should be puzzled. What does it mean that he dares not kill him? There's probably more to the story here.

"Uh, I didn't expect you to be such a braggart, not very capable at all!"

"Brother, there are many things you can't understand. Thank you for the good wine!"

After saying that, Bai Qianchi disappeared into the night again.

Chu Chen watched his departing figure and thought to himself that this kid was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

However, I'm too lazy to bother with him. The best approach is to let things take their natural course.

Tomorrow we're going to the so-called grand competition. By now, I guess the entire Luo Zhong Island is looking for experts from Great Xia to come and challenge us.

That very night, a group of six people were walking quickly across the snow-covered mountain pass between Luoduo and Daxia.

They were all holding long swords, and judging from the snow-treading footprints they left, all six were top-tier experts.

Soon after, they arrived outside the cave where Gu Dabiao was.

Because Gu Dabiao usually hid the cave entrance very well, the six people did not notice that a pair of eyes were watching them from inside the mountain.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister died suddenly in the Great Xia Dynasty, and all the blame is pointing to Chu Chen of Qingyun City."

"That's right. Although the goal this time is to kill the Emperor of Great Xia, we cannot let Chu Chen go either."

The eldest brother nodded to the other five and spoke.

After a moment's thought, he then instructed, "In that case, the two of you will come with me to the capital."

"Although our island lord is using a martial arts competition to attract experts from Great Xia, who knows if they've fallen for it?"

"Although your strength is not high, it is enough to deal with Chu Chen from a small city like Qingyun. Therefore, you two will go to Qingyun City and kill Chu Chen."

"Also, according to reliable sources, Chu Chen has many family members and properties in Qingyun City. Let's confiscate them as well."

The group nodded after listening, and then dispersed.

Gu Dabiao, watching their speed from inside the cave, immediately became nervous.

Once they were out of sight, he kicked the accelerator and sped off towards the edge of the clouds.

Such a momentous matter must be reported to the young master as soon as possible; someone is plotting against him and His Majesty.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Chu Chen disappeared from the inn and reappeared on Chu San's coast guard ship.

"Young master, today is the day of the so-called grand competition. What do I need to do?"

Upon seeing Chu Chen arrive, Chu San immediately asked excitedly.

"Stay here for now and await my instructions. Put on your headphones!"

After saying that, Chu Chen turned around and went to the cabin, where he took out a water-powered skateboard.

I thought to myself, since I'm here to show off, I might as well go all out.

He pulled this thing out of a container at the dock. He had fallen into the sea many times in Linhai City while practicing this.

This is perfect timing; it can come in handy now.

The island lord of Luozhong Island felt uneasy all day. He was worried that if the Great Xia did not send anyone, his disciples would probably suffer.

He was also worried that if the Great Xia sent a super strong expert, he himself would be in trouble.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that there are definitely beings in those mysterious places of Great Xia that he dares not provoke.

But those people disregarded imperial power and had no interest in the so-called imperial power, so they basically lived in seclusion.

This is the beginning of my plan to infiltrate the Great Xia.

I sent someone to Luozhong Island border crossing early this morning to pick them up, but I don't know how things are going.

In fact, when Chu Chen boarded the coast guard ship, he saw many people dressed in black robes and holding long swords gathered at the dock of Luo Zhong Island.

He thought to himself that this must be someone who came to receive the experts of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he would give them a surprise attack by riding the waves.

As the motor on the skateboard spun at high speed, just as the sun rose above the horizon...

Chu Chen's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"Sir, look! What's that?"

"Nonsense, I'm not blind, I'm a human being..."

"Could it be... a master sent by the Great Xia?"

The man addressed as "sir" felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This is bad. What if this person really is a master sent by the Great Xia?"

With just this one supernatural ability to ride the waves, we're in big trouble.

Because he was one of the people selected to fight today, in order to deplete the strength of the Great Xia experts.

This lays the foundation for the island owner's final, complete victory.

Chu Chen moved very fast, and soon he arrived at the front of the dock.

He stomped his feet hard on the skateboard, leaped, and landed steadily on the dock.

As he exerted force with both feet, the skateboard was retracted into the space.

"Chu Chen of Great Xia, come and accept the challenge!"

Chu Chen stepped onto the dock, glanced at the men in black robes, and then spoke to them in a low voice.

The leading man swallowed hard: "Luo Zhongdao Suoxiong greets Senior Chu! Senior Chu, please..."

After speaking, he bowed and gestured for Chu Chen to proceed, and the men in black standing in front of him immediately made way for him.

Upon hearing the name Suo Xiong, Chu Chen wondered if he was Suo Dong's brother.

But she remained calm and followed his directions, striding towards the largest building in the center of the city.

As soon as Chu Chen stepped into the building, he saw a huge arena set up in the square in front of him.

At that moment, Xiao Shiliu's voice came through the earpiece: "Young Master, I see you. I'm right behind you. Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Chu Chen didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned his head and smiled in that direction.

Coincidentally, Chu Chen's face was facing Suo Xiong.

Suo Xiong was startled when he saw Chu Chen's strange smile. He thought to himself that he couldn't tell the cultivation level of this person at all. Could it be that he had reached the legendary realm of no man?

At that very moment, right in front of the arena, sat an old man in an enormous chair.

He stared intently at Chu Chen with his cloudy eyes, then said, "Great Xia, sending only you here is a bit of an underestimation of Luo Zhongdao."

Chu Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in a chair.

His cloudy eyes were like those of a dead fish, and he exuded an aura of decay.

He instantly remembered Bai Qianchi's words from last night and blurted out at the old man, "Holy crap, are you alive or dead?"

After the old man spoke, Suo Xiong quickly came to his side and whispered something in his ear.

The old man was startled upon hearing this: "Interesting, very interesting! Coming on the waves, you certainly have the confidence to do so!"
