Chapter 4310 — Utterly Shocked
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Amid the crowd, Wei Zhao's feelings gradually calmed from the shock of first seeing Wang Xinyan. Hearing this, he glanced at the refined man, and his brows could not help but knit slightly. Why did this man's face look somewhat familiar?
The man wore a robe of blue. Both his features and his refined air struck Wei Zhao as very familiar—he resembled the man he had encountered before. But clearly they were only alike, not the same person, for the man Wei Zhao knew had already died in the Lu Feng Forest.
"Eh, isn't that Chu Muqing? So he's a prodigy with three-element spiritual root attributes—no wonder he's so monstrously strong!" Someone nearby suddenly recognized the man.
"Right, right—if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have placed him for a moment. This fellow's a real celebrity in our Zhen Duan sea region. Word is that challenging opponents above his level is meat and drink to him, and the fine cultivators who've died at his hands these past few years are not one or two!" Another chimed in.
"Quite so, quite so. A month ago, when he got into a fight, I happened to be passing by and saw it. He was a Golden Core consummate, up against a Nascent Soul early-stage expert, a Golden Core consummate expert, and a Golden Core late-stage peak expert—and in the end he actually fought them to a mutual wreck. Apart from the Nascent Soul early-stage expert, the other two were beaten to death by him outright. The scene was utterly savage!" Another man rattled on, sharing and showing off to the crowd.
"What do you mean a month ago? It was clearly two months ago, all right? I saw it that time too—I even know that Nascent Soul early-stage expert. He's always been the type who bows to no one and walks with a swagger, but running into this Chu Muqing was the worst luck of his eight lifetimes. He nearly lost his own life too—damn terrifying!" the first man argued back.
"Yeah, this Chu Muqing really is absurdly formidable. I hear that every time the Lu Feng Forest has opened these past years, he's gone in, and he always heads deep into the forest. Every time, his teammates all die off clean, and only he manages to fight his way out alive. Could he do that without the strength for it?" Another shared a rumor.
"That's right, that's right. A few days ago I saw his elder brother head into the Lu Feng Forest too, but he hasn't come out after all this time. Who knows whether he's fallen in there. After all, a place like the Lu Feng Forest is no trifling matter—however strong you are, there's always a chance of dying inside..." someone muttered off to the side.
"His elder brother? Who's his elder brother? I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention him?" The people around were curious. They had heard of Chu Muqing's great name, but who Chu Muqing's elder brother was—that they truly had never heard much about.
"His elder brother is called Chu Bubai. His reputation isn't as resounding as Chu Muqing's, but he seems to have real strength too. A while back I saw with my own eyes as he led a group to the Lu Feng Road teleportation array. For some reason, though, this time he put together his own team rather than going with Chu Muqing..." The man explained to the crowd. (To be continued) R655
