The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Seeing this scenario, everyone couldn’t help but be startled and hurriedly looked toward the newcomers. It’s him! Upon clearly seeing the newcomer’s appearance, Tong Zhentian’s gaze immediately became heavy.

The one who just stepped in to block them was none other than Su Cheng’en; they didn’t expect this old fellow to suddenly show up. "You two go meet up with Chen Younian first, I’ll hold these people off for you." Hearing Su Cheng’en’s words, Chen Qinghua and Su He exchanged a glance, then said no more and directly rushed toward the direction of the base camp.

"Come on!" Su Cheng’en beckoned at everyone, smiling contemptuously as he said, "Let me see how capable you all are."

Tong Zhentian remained silent, glanced at the people around him, and everyone tacitly spread out their formation, encircling Su Cheng’en in the center. As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn’t move, we won’t move. Once everyone was positioned, they had no intention of making a move and simply stood silently on the spot, warily watching Su Cheng’en.

Although they wanted to kill Su Cheng’en to avenge Ling Chen, they were well aware that Su Cheng’en was not Chen Qinghua or Su He; his strength was unfathomable. Even gathering this many experts, they might not be victorious. Even if they won, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory. Therefore, they didn’t plan to attack proactively; after all, today’s main battlefield wasn’t here, but rather the showdown between the Guardians and Chen Younian. All they needed to do was hold Su Cheng’en here to consider their task complete.

As time passed by the second, seeing everyone around standing motionlessly, Su Cheng’en frowned involuntarily. At this moment, how could he not understand what the other side intended to do? It was clear they were trying to waste time.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and glanced at Qiu Nanshan not far away. On the mountainside of Qiu Nanshan, dozens of bright lights were slowly approaching the summit. Moreover, not far below the mountainside, a figure was swiftly climbing along the mountain wall, quickly surpassing the mountainside. At the speed of that figure, it would soon reach the summit.

"Chief, the Netherworld Snake’s people are almost up, only about two hundred meters away."

At this time, Du Yunzhi and Ling Gengqiu were already at the summit of Qiu Nanshan. Standing at the edge of the peak, they looked down at the bright lights slowly approaching step by step.

"Send the order down, attack!"

Upon hearing Du Yunzhi’s command, the members of the Guardians gathered at the edge and raised the rocks they had prepared earlier, throwing them at the positions of those bright lights.

As rock after rock fell, many of the Netherworld Snake assassins could not dodge the dense rock assault and were knocked down. After losing more than a dozen people, the Netherworld Snake finally realized that it was the lights on them providing their opponents with accurate positions. Instantly, all the lights on them disappeared, and the whole mountainside became pitch black, making it impossible to see where people were.

The Guardians didn’t care, throwing everything they had downwards, as there was plenty of stone; whoever they hit was a bonus. At this time, a man lifted a rock with both hands, aimed carefully, and then threw it forcefully. However, before the rock could fall, there was a loud ’bang,’ and the entire rock exploded in the middle, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered everywhere, affecting those nearby.

Hearing the cries of pain coming from not far away, Du Yunzhi and Ling Gengqiu exchanged a glance, and the two immediately rushed over. As they neared, they saw a figure leap from the edge of the summit, landing steadily on a protruding rock. Seeing the person, Ling Gengqiu’s gaze couldn’t help but tighten.

Chen Younian!

"Ling Gengqiu, I’ve finally found you; you really are a coward, hiding here," Chen Younian’s tone carried a hint of mockery.

Ling Gengqiu said solemnly, "Chen Younian, spare the nonsense. I’ve been waiting here for you; tonight either you die or I perish."

"Fine, I want to see what skills you have to fight me!" With that, Chen Younian leaped up, extending his arms like a roc spreading its wings, flying towards Ling Gengqiu. As the opponent approached, Ling Gengqiu immediately felt a powerful aura coming at him.

How formidable!

He was startled, knowing that after Chen Younian acquired the Soul Stone, his strength had greatly increased. However, he hadn’t fought Chen Younian before, so he wasn’t sure how much progress Chen Younian had made. Now, with that strong pressure bearing down, he realized the gap between him and Chen Younian. Although Du Yunzhi had given him the only Soul Stone available to the Guardians for him to absorb and fuse, compared to Chen Younian, the gap was still too large.

In the midst of these thoughts, Chen Younian’s attack was already near, and Ling Gengqiu had no time to consider further, quickly turning around to retreat.

Seeing his actions, Chen Younian couldn’t help but mock, "What? Is that all the courage you have? You don’t even have the guts to face me head-on."

Ling Gengqiu seemed to ignore his taunts, running forward by himself, trying to widen the distance between them. However, Chen Younian didn’t let him go easily, closely following behind, thereby slowly closing the gap between them. Just as they were about to make contact again, a sharp gust of wind suddenly attacked, aiming directly at Chen Younian’s side.

Seeing this, Chen Younian glanced over with the corner of his eye and immediately stopped, leaping to the side to avoid the wind’s attack. Meanwhile, Ling Gengqiu also stopped and turned his gaze back to Chen Younian.

Glancing at Ling Gengqiu, Chen Younian laughed coldly, then shifted his focus to another person present.

"Good, very good! Since you’re all here, why not come at me together and save some time," Chen Younian said. Despite facing two masters, he remained calm and composed, exuding confidence as well as arrogance.

The one who had just ambushed Chen Younian was none other than the Guardian from the Guardians, a master who had completed the second stage of evolution. His presence was the greatest reliance of the Guardians.

By now, the Netherworld Snake’s people had gradually reached the summit and joined the battle, with flashes of blades and swords and cries of anguish echoing all over the summit of Qiu Nanshan. At the highest point of the summit, Ling Gengqiu and the middle-aged man stood side by side, looking at Chen Younian not far ahead of them. They then tacitly moved to surround him from both sides.

In response to their maneuvers, Chen Younian stood with his hands behind his back, a mocking sneer on his lips, as if he didn’t take the two of them seriously at all.

"Attack!" With a light command, the poised Ling Gengqiu finally made a move, coordinating with the middle-aged man to charge at Chen Younian.

However, none of them noticed that above them, there was a faint light hidden in the night, barely noticeable unless observed carefully.
