City Strongest Son-in-law

"That damnable Koo Beichen, if he didn't leave, we wouldn't be in such a miserable state! He has brought us here, and now he has fled on his own, leaving us to lure the snakes away. Loo Tian's slash was rather weak. Two small grey snakes slithered to his feet and bit his ankle. He took a step back in pain, kicking the gray snakes aside with his foot, cursing under his breath.    

    

In his eyes, it was Koo Beichen's fault. Of course, everyone on scene complained about Koo Beichen from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that he was despicable and shameless, cold-blooded and merciless, causing them to be in danger. No one remembered that it was they who had insisted on advancing and had encountered the horde of snakes.    

    

No one remembered Koo Beichen opening up a path for them. No one knew that Koo Beichen was fighting with a giant Snake King in front of him.    

    

At this moment, they only thought of themselves, blaming themselves for being impossible, so the responsibility fell on Koo Beichen, who was the most capable. Koo Beichen could have led them out of their predicament, but he gave them hope and brought them to despair. The more miserable they were, the more resentful they felt towards Koo Beichen.    

    

When these people could not hold on any longer, a figure appeared in front of them. He waved his sword, and the little grey snake hurriedly escaped. This time, without the Snake King's command, these little grey snakes did not fearlessly attack and instead retreated.    

    

"Koo Beichen!" Loo Tian just cursed Koo Beichen. He never thought that Koo Beichen would come back so easily. Furthermore, he easily solved the crisis of the grey snake.    

    

Seeing that the snakes had finally retreated, those who were already exhausted collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. This time, they really did manage to escape death. If Koo Beichen did not appear in the end like a god, they might have already lost their lives.    

    

"Koo Beichen, why did you leave for so long?" You could have easily taken care of these snakes, but why did you leave them to us? Could it be that you want us to lose our lives? " Loo Tian raised his head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes.    

    

Koo Beichen glanced at him and said coldly, "You can stand here and talk without me?" Loo Tian's face turned red, but what Koo Beichen said was the truth. Without him, everyone would be finished. However, he was just unhappy and resentful. He felt that Koo Beichen could do more and do even better.    

    

"In addition, you don't need to point out what I'm doing!"    

    

"You!" Loo Tian pointed at him, his face full of resentment. He wanted to say something, but couldn't find a word to refute him. He lowered his head and slammed his fist on the ground. Without strength, all talk was just empty talk. If Koo Beichen was impatient, he could have killed him with a slap.    

    

"Hehe, Mr. Koo must have gone to solve the root cause of these grey snakes, right? Otherwise, these grey snakes would not have retreated so quickly. We have to thank Mr. Koo for saving our lives! " Huang Teng coughed lightly and said to Koo Beichen gratefully.    

    

He had lived for so many years, of course he could see some of these problems. When Koo Beichen came back, the snakes retreated. Something unknown must have happened. Only someone as simple-minded as Loo Tian would think things were so simple. However, no one knew whether he was resentful or not.    

    

Tan Ze also looked at him with gratitude. There were still a few tears hanging from the corner of his eyes. If it wasn't for Koo Beichen, he would be a corpse now. How sad would his father be! Lin Yu did not say anything, but only cupped his fists and expressed his thanks in his own way.    

    

Koo Beichen didn't pay much attention to them. He came back to make use of Huang Teng's experience to get more convenient access to the tomb. As for whether the others were grateful or resentful, he didn't think too much about it and didn't care.    

    

"It's getting dark now, so I suggest that we find a place to rest. The smell of blood is too heavy, so it's easy to attract other beasts." Koo Beichen saw the injuries of these people and offered his opinion.    

    

"I think so. Let's find a quiet place nearby to recuperate!" Huang Teng was the first to agree. He had no strength left on him now and needed Tan Ze's support to walk. The danger was certain now. The others didn't reject it, agreeing with him. They were all too tired, not to mention the unconscious Cai.    

    

"When I was on my way back, I saw a cave on the left side. I can go in and hide for a while. Aside from these snakes, there shouldn't be any other powerful wild beasts in this area. After all, the wild beasts all had their own concept of territory. With that, he began to lead the way.    

    

Behind him, Huang Teng followed slowly with the support of Tan Ze. Liu Tie followed closely behind with the support of his saber. Loo Tian carried the unconscious Cai on his back and carried her slowly behind him. Soon, the group arrived in front of a small cave. Koo Beichen went in first to scout and found no living beings. Then, they followed him into the cave.    

    

Koo Beichen sat down cross-legged, constantly reflecting on what happened during this battle. He thought over and over again in his mind, deducing that he was still lacking in physical combat. Indeed, the Power of Five Elements had given him a lot of help, but he could not just blindly rely on it. After all, no matter how strong he was, he needed someone to suppress him. If his body did not meet the requirements, there would be serious consequences.    

    

In the Martial Cultivator world, such things often happened. For example, a very fortunate person would suddenly encounter a strong Ranker who was about to die. The strong martial artist wanted to pass on his skills to him, but that little martial artist simply couldn't withstand such a powerful force, so he exploded and died. Unless you are the chosen one, even if you are lucky, it will all be for nothing.    

    

Therefore, in the recent battles, Koo Beichen was constantly reducing the usage of elemental energy. Of course, this did not mean that he would give up. On the contrary, he would constantly study the usage of elemental power to truly utilize it. But at the same time, he also reinforced his demands on his body.    

    

Now that the elemental energy had become a part of his strength, he could bear it too. However, if one day, the elemental energy within his body became too powerful, then his physical body might not be able to suppress such a powerful force. Perhaps in the end, even he would be able to cause a huge ruckus for himself. With only a single Jindan remaining, he would be in for a lot of fun.    

    

This had always been Koo Beichen's concern. He had never specially tempered his body. The reason why his body was so strong right now was entirely due to the foundation he laid when he was in the camp, as well as the cleansing effect of the elemental energy on his body. The gentle elemental energy could help him open up his meridians, but what about the berserk one?
