78: Enemies meet again on a narrow road, and they run into the Peerless Sect once more.

Perhaps the heavens knew what Night Owl was thinking.

Coincidentally, over a hundred Wushuang Sect disciples dressed in green robes happened to be passing by.

And the leader was precisely the disciple who had spoken to Dugu Nianyu after Senior Brother Luo died.

“Huh! Senior Brother Bai, isn't that the guy who killed Senior Brother Luo?”

A Wushuang Sect disciple beside Senior Brother Bai pointed at Night Owl, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, and exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh?”

Hearing the disciple's voice.

Senior Brother Bai and the others immediately followed the speaking disciple's finger and looked at Night Owl at the restaurant entrance.

If that disciple hadn't spoken up, they truly wouldn't have noticed Night Owl.

“It's him! He's the one who killed Senior Brother Luo. I'd recognize him even if he turned to ash.”

“That's right, I will never forget his red hair.”

“This guy is here alone! We can finally avenge Senior Brother Luo.”

The more than one hundred Wushuang Sect disciples behind Senior Brother Bai glared at Night Owl, grinding their teeth.

The competition that day had completely humiliated them, so how could they miss this chance now that Night Owl was alone?

After all, Night Owl was currently by himself.

As long as they killed Night Owl without anyone noticing, Dugu Nianyu wouldn't suspect them.

After all, with so many people in the inheritance, who would know who killed whom?

Senior Brother Bai also wore a sinister grin, and he shouted fiercely at Night Owl, “Kid, your luck is terrible, running into us so soon. I bet the Ninth Princess isn't here to save you now, is she?”

After Senior Brother Bai finished speaking, he made a gesture toward the more than one hundred Wushuang Sect disciples.

The group instantly understood and immediately sealed off all possible escape routes around the restaurant.

Although Night Owl could kill Senior Brother Luo with a few punches, they now had over a hundred Peak Earth Venerables.

No matter how monstrous Night Owl was, he couldn't fight so many of them at once.

“Heh heh, the Ninth Princess wasn't saving me, she was saving you.” Seeing himself surrounded, Night Owl didn't panic; instead, he grinned.

These people weren't here for revenge; they were clearly here to deliver supplies. As long as they didn't run away, he was confident he could wipe them all out.

He had let them escape once outside, and he didn't expect to run into them right after entering the inheritance. He truly didn't know if they were unlucky or if he was fortunate.

“Hahahaha!”

Hearing Night Owl's arrogant words, the surrounding hundred-plus Wushuang Sect disciples burst into laughter.

Night Owl was simply hilarious, trying to act calm and pretentious even when facing death.

He actually claimed the Ninth Princess was saving them?

Did he think he could resist hundreds of Peak Earth Venerables with the strength of just a few people?

Senior Brother Bai curled his lips into a mocking smile and said to Night Owl, “Kid, I have to admire your nerve, pretending to be calm at a time like this. But no matter how well you pretend, you can't escape the outcome of death.”

After speaking.

Senior Brother Bai's expression immediately darkened, and he shouted at the hundred-plus Wushuang Sect disciples.

“All of you, attack! Chop this kid into meat paste!!”

“Yes, Senior Brother Bai!!”

The Wushuang Sect disciples answered, drew their weapons, and were about to launch their attack on Night Owl.

But before they could act, Gu Chen and his companions walked out of the restaurant and stood beside Night Owl at the entrance, causing the group to halt their advance.

“Senior Brother Ye, do you need our help?” Gu Chen asked, looking at the calm Night Owl.

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er also looked at Night Owl.

They were originally happily collecting treasures upstairs, but just as they were enjoying their haul, they heard the laughter of the Wushuang Sect disciples.

Having no choice, they had to abandon the treasures and come down to face the enemy with Night Owl.

Night Owl shook his head, “No need. You two go back up and continue collecting treasures. These guys aren't even enough for me to fill my teeth.”

...Although Night Owl said that, Gu Chen and his companions remained standing there.

Even if Night Owl didn't want them to fight, they needed to stand guard here. After all, treasures could be collected anytime, but facing an enemy required seriousness.

Seeing the appearance of Gu Chen and his companions, Senior Brother Bai was not intimidated; instead, he looked excited.

“Good, good! It's great that all three of you are here. I will send you neatly on your way right now.”

“Don't just stand there, all of you follow me!!” Senior Brother Bai pulled out a long sword and charged toward Gu Chen and his companions, leading the way.

“Yes, Senior Brother Bai!”

The hundred-plus Wushuang Sect disciples reacted and followed closely behind.

Originally, he wouldn't have made a move, as over a hundred Wushuang Sect disciples were more than enough to handle Night Owl alone.

But now that Gu Chen and his companions had appeared, things were different.

Senior Brother Luo was his good buddy.

The two of them had entered the Wushuang Sect as children, cultivated together, visited brothels together, secretly watched their Master bathe together, and done many things together.

A few days ago, watching Senior Brother Luo get pulverized by Night Owl, his heart ached immensely.

Therefore, he also wanted to brutally torture Gu Chen and his companions to death.

And let Night Owl know the pain of losing deeply emotional Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.

“Heh heh, well met!”

Night Owl revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

A large amount of red mist surged from his body, enveloping the charging Wushuang Sect disciples.

“Ahhh!”

Piercing screams immediately rang out within the red mist.

“Hiss, what's going on?”

Senior Brother Bai, who was preparing to subdue Gu Chen and his companions, heard the screams coming from the red mist, felt his scalp tingle with shock, and abruptly stopped.

He extended his spiritual sense, wanting to see what was happening inside the red mist.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could only see a blanket of red.

Instantly.

A bad thought appeared in his mind.

Could Night Owl really injure and kill enemies while fighting over a hundred Peak Earth Venerables alone? That would be too heaven-defying!

“Hmph, that's impossible. At most, he's temporarily gaining the upper hand. Maybe the screams are coming from him.”

Senior Brother Bai shook off the thoughts in his head and continued flying toward Gu Chen and his companions.

He refused to believe that such a heaven-defying person existed in the world.

“The three of you, surrender obediently, lest you suffer physical torment.”

Senior Brother Bai, holding his long sword, landed in front of Gu Chen and his companions with a look of disdain.

Because the cultivation of Gu Chen and his companions was too low, lacking even a single Peak Earth Venerable, he wasn't interested in making a move.

“Heh, here comes Little Flying Man!!”

Gu Chen sneered, transformed into an afterimage, and kicked Senior Brother Bai.

“Bang!”

Senior Brother Bai didn't even understand what happened before he was kicked flying onto the opposite house, smashing a huge hole in the entire structure.

“Cough, cough!”

Senior Brother Bai barely managed to spit out two mouthfuls of blood before Gu Chen grabbed him, dragged him to the restaurant entrance, and violently threw him onto the ground.

“You... How are your speed and strength greater than mine?” Senior Brother Bai raised his head and asked Gu Chen in disbelief.

Gu Chen was clearly an Eighth-stage Earth Venerable, yet his speed and strength were much greater than his, a Peak Earth Venerable.

When Gu Chen made his move just now, he didn't even have time to react before Gu Chen sent him flying.
