Chapter 304: Ambushed

At this thought, Kuchiki Senya could not help but feel a chill surge up his spine!

Just how formidable must this enemy be to have deceived him!

Kuchiki Senya's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.

However, he did not immediately pursue, for he had already judged that this enemy was extremely powerful; if he chased after him, he would very likely fall into an ambush.

As the saying goes, an open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against; moreover, since the opponent dared to send someone to kill him so brazenly, there was absolutely a possibility that traps had been set.

"Six-three-seven" Kuchiki Senya must now delay time as much as possible and wait for reinforcements!

This mastermind behind the scenes must be dragged out, no matter the cost! Otherwise, he would be unable to sleep or eat in peace!

"Where are you? Show your face quickly, and stop hiding like a damn coward!"

Kuchiki Senya stood in place and shouted to the surroundings, yet there was no answer.

"Apollo, you coward, if you have the guts, come out and face me! Stop brewing foul schemes in the dark!" Kuchiki Senya shouted twice more.

Still, there was no reply.

Kuchiki Senya gritted his teeth, then spoke the name Ouyang Bingyuan.

"Are you waiting here for a rabbit to hit a tree stump?" Kuchiki Senya mocked, saying, "You are too stupid!"

After speaking, Kuchiki Senya turned and left, not meddling further.

However, what he did not expect was that this old beggar followed him again.

"Hey, I'm telling you, do not follow me, or don't blame me for chopping you to death," Kuchiki Senya threatened; he was unwilling to get involved in this trouble again.

"I do not need your pity," the old beggar said coldly. "If you are afraid, run away right now; otherwise, once I recover, killing you will be as easy as turning over one's hand."

"Your words are quite bold," Kuchiki Senya laughed.

He had already confirmed that this old beggar was no expert.

After all, if the opponent truly were a supreme martial artist, he could have chosen to instantly kill Kuchiki Senya just now; there would have been no need to make tonight's situation happen!

Yet, even if the opponent was not an expert, Kuchiki Senya could not kill him now—if this old beggar's strength were slightly weaker than his own, Kuchiki Senya could attempt to capture him alive.

But now... Kuchiki Senya felt he might capsize in a gutter!

For, after exchanging one move with this old beggar, Kuchiki Senya sensed that the opponent's power was far more profound than his own; it even vaguely suppressed him!

Most crucially, the opponent's speed was too fast; Kuchiki Senya could not even catch how the opponent moved!

"Who are you, and why do you come to kill me?" Kuchiki Senya asked.

"I said, who I am is unimportant; what matters is that you must die." Having spoken, the old beggar unfolded his body, clenched his right fist, and smashed toward Kuchiki Senya!

This time, his speed was even more fierce, and the wind from his fist was biting!

"Your strength is not bad, but you are not my match..."

Kuchiki Senya raised his left arm and slashed the Tang Dao diagonally!

Clang!

Sparks flew in all directions!

The old beggar's fist collided with the side of the Tang Dao!

His knuckles cracked, and blood immediately gushed out!

Yet, this old beggar paid no heed to the pain; the dagger in his other hand had already swept toward Kuchiki Senya's throat!

This time, Kuchiki Senya finally saw the opponent's attack pattern clearly; without hesitation, he swung his blade to meet it!

Ding!

The two clashed, and another burst of sparks flew in all directions!

"You are not my match?" The old beggar grinned: "That phrase has never once come from my mouth!"

Then, the old beggar let out a fierce roar, and his entire body's power suddenly released!

Boom!

Kuchiki Senya retreated several meters, then fell heavily to the ground!

He felt his chest constrict, and then a mouthful of blood spat out.

Kuchiki Senya knew that three of his ribs had broken.

And this old beggar continued charging toward him!

His thin figure now seemed to expand infinitely, as if transforming into a mountain pressing down from above!

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Kuchiki Senya roared, then suddenly kicked out with his foot!
