263: Chapter 263 The Test for Luo Ning Shuang

Luo Ningshuang quickly informed Chen Hu of her location.

A map of the entire Yun Province flashed through Chen Hu's mind, and he quickly locked onto Luo Ningshuang's location.

"Swish!"

Chen Hu took a step forward and vanished.

Meanwhile.

Inside a fortress built by a wealthy local squire within Yun Province.

Luo Ningshuang had been ordered to come here to exterminate a group of Lotus Sect members hiding within.

According to intelligence, there were not many Lotus Sect members hiding here.

There were only about 100 of them, and the strongest among them was merely at the Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm.

However, she never expected this.

After she brought her men here, she realized the intelligence was severely flawed.

The Lotus Sect members hiding here were far more than 100; there were over 800 of them.

Furthermore, these Lotus Sect members were not weak; all of them were at the Flesh Refining Realm.

Besides that, there were four at the Marrow Refining Realm.

Two at the Late Stage Marrow Refining, and two at the Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm.

It was obvious they were targeting her.

Chen Hu had given her a protective jade pendant.

Even when facing four Marrow Refining Realm experts, she was confident she could escape.

But the two hundred or so Zhenwu Guards who had accompanied her would likely all be lost here.

For a moment, she cursed the intelligence agent from the General Division who had provided the information to high heaven in her heart.

Consequently, she decisively called for Chen Hu.

"Luo Ningshuang, you have already been surrounded. Why not surrender with your subordinates? As long as you are willing to join our Lotus Sect, you can all live!"

A Lotus Sect member at the Late Stage Marrow Refining said this while leering at Luo Ningshuang with lustful eyes.

"Surrender to you? Are you worthy?" Luo Ningshuang responded with disdain.

"Hahaha!"

That Late Stage Marrow Refining expert laughed aloud: "You, you still don't know it, but you have been betrayed by your own people!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ningshuang's expression changed slightly.

Even if the agents trained by the General Division were incompetent, they shouldn't have mistaken 800 people for 100.

Therefore, it was highly likely that he had deliberately concealed the truth.

Immediately, the image of that woman, Xu Meng, flashed through her mind.

"Could the General Division's agent have been bought off by that woman to set me up and kill me?"

But she immediately dismissed this speculation. Xu Meng was merely a Thousand-Man Commander of the Ling Province Zhenwu Division.

Even if she could afford the money and resources to bribe a General Division agent.

The General Division agent would not agree.

She was, after all, a Division Chief; if her entire force was wiped out, the General Division would definitely investigate the cause.

At that time, the General Division agent would certainly be exposed.

Once exposed, there would be no way for him to survive.

Therefore, for the General Division agent to provide false intelligence, it must be orchestrated by an official from the General Division.

Yet, she recalled for a moment.

She had not offended anyone from the General Division.

Why would they set her up?

Luo Ningshuang felt a bit of a headache.

"Chief, have we really been betrayed?" Sun Lingyue asked, half-doubting.

"You believe the words of evil cultists!"

Luo Ningshuang regained her composure. Although she also suspected it, she could not say it out loud.

Furthermore, she had already contacted Chen Hu.

Soon, he would arrive, and she was not worried about her or her subordinates' safety.

"Luo Ningshuang, have you considered it? Do you want to join our Lotus Sect?" the Late Stage Marrow Refining Lotus Sect member spoke again. He had already made a decision: once Luo Ningshuang surrendered.

He would first seal her cultivation and then toy with her properly.

Meanwhile.

Inside a pavilion within the fortress.

A middle-aged man was standing in front of a window, watching the scene below.

Suddenly.

Chen Hu appeared behind him and asked in a low voice: "Is it a good show?"

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Chen Hu's voice, the man didn't say a word. He turned his hand into a blade and slashed back towards Chen Hu's neck.

Although it was just a bare hand, under the infusion of True Qi, it was sharper than ordinary divine weapons.

"Crack, crack crack!"

Facing the attack, Chen Hu pointed a finger at the man's wrist.

Then, all the bones in the man's entire arm shattered.

Bi Fang was horrified. He flashed away to create distance from Chen Hu, endured the pain in his arm, and stared intensely at Chen Hu: "Who are you?"

"I am Luo Ningshuang's man!"

Chen Hu said indifferently, his cold voice laced with killing intent: "As fellow Zhenwu Guards, you actually dared to set up your colleague. Speak, who ordered you to do this?"

Bi Fang breathed a sigh of relief internally and quickly said: "Young Master, this is all a misunderstanding. I did not set up Chief Luo. In fact, this is a trial for her from the Deputy General Chief!"

"A trial?" Chen Hu frowned slightly.

"Yes, the Deputy General Chief appreciates Chief Luo, so this trial was arranged. As long as she passes this trial, Chief Luo will be transferred to the Capital General Division to hold a position. Moreover, the Deputy General Chief even sent me here because he was worried that Chief Luo might encounter life-threatening danger!"

"So, I misunderstood you?" Chen Hu said.

"Young Master, you indeed misunderstood!"

Bi Fang smiled bitterly, not expecting Luo Ningshuang to have such a powerful man.

He was a Late-stage Refining Viscera powerhouse, yet Chen Hu had shattered the bones of his arm with a single finger.

"By the way, may I ask how to address you, Young Master?"

Chen Hu looked at him with a smirk: "It is better if you do not know, lest you find yourself in a difficult position!"

As soon as the words fell.

Chen Hu took a step and appeared directly beside Luo Ningshuang below.

"Who?"

Seeing someone suddenly appear, Sun Lingyue was startled.

When she saw Chen Hu's face clearly, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Chen Hu, why is it you?"

"I learned you were in danger and came specifically to save you. Are you moved?" Chen Hu said with a chuckle.

But Sun Lingyue was so angry she stomped her feet, retorting unpleasantly: "Moved my ass! Why couldn't you sneak attack from the shadows? Why did you have to reveal yourself!"

In her view.

Chen Hu was only at the Marrow Refining Realm.

And the opposing side had four Marrow Refining Realm experts; even adding Chen Hu, they only had two Marrow Refining Realm experts on their side.

If Chen Hu had stayed hidden in the shadows, he could have made the Lotus Sect members hesitant to act.

But now that Chen Hu had revealed himself, it was useless.

"Of course, it is because I don't take these people before me seriously!" Chen Hu said confidently and relaxed.

"Brat, you are truly arrogant!"

That Lotus Sect Late Stage Marrow Refining expert sneered.

"Daring to disturb me while I am flirting with beauties, you have already paved your own path to death!" Chen Hu said with dissatisfaction, then flicked his finger.

With a puff.

The Late Stage Marrow Refining expert's head was pierced by the finger force, and his tall body fell backward.

This scene left Sun Lingyue stunned.

It also allowed the Zhenwu Guards to see hope for survival.

"Chen Hu, when did you become so powerful that you can insta-kill a Late Stage Marrow Refining expert?"

"I have always been powerful; you just didn't know it!"

Chen Hu smiled, then flicked out three more beams of finger force, insta-killing the other three Lotus Sect Marrow Refining Realm experts.

"Run!"

Seeing the four Marrow Refining experts on their side die one after another.

The other members were terrified, and they all fled in panic in all directions.

"Kill them! Don't let them escape!"

Luo Ningshuang roared, flashed out, and locked her longsword onto two Bone Refining Realm experts.

To reduce casualties.

Chen Hu flicked his fingers repeatedly, and beams of finger force shot out.

Except for the two Bone Refining Realm experts fighting Luo Ningshuang, all other Bone Refining Realm and Tendon Refining Realm experts were killed by him. As for the Flesh Refining Realm members, Chen Hu did not kill them directly but severely wounded them.

The remaining small fries at the Skin Refining Realm.

He did not make another move and left them for the Zhenwu Guards to handle.
