One Punch to Kill You Is Not a Problem

"It wasn't just spitting blood; he ended up spewing out all sorts of internal organs. Ugh, I can't even think about it without getting chills."

"I heard that fatty was a disciple of Thunderclap Hall. When they found out, they went absolutely ballistic!"

"Yeah, I wonder who that young man is. He actually dared to provoke someone from Thunderclap Hall."

The entire town was abuzz with the news, but Gu Chen was in his room, meditating and cultivating.

Before the Rookie Competition arrived, Gu Chen had nowhere else to go.

His biggest pastime each day was cultivating in his room.

However, at that very moment, the inn's main entrance was instantly kicked to splinters.

A man, eight feet tall, appeared at the doorway.

The man wore a long robe made of bear hide, and behind him followed three burly subordinates.

"Where's your innkeeper? Get him out here!"

At the man's roar, the customers eating in the inn's hall didn't dare to linger.

They fled in a hurry, some even abandoning the main entrance and escaping through the windows on the spot.

Immediately after, a greasy-faced middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Sir, are you here to eat, or to stay?"

Chen Xiongfei glared at the innkeeper, his voice extremely hostile. "I'm here to find someone, damn it!"

"Last night, one of our Thunderclap Hall disciples was killed in your establishment!"

"Are you tired of running this broken-down shop?"

With that, Chen Xiongfei brought his palm down.

A solid wood table instantly shattered into pieces!

The powerful gust of wind from his palm even cracked the ground beneath the table!

The waiter, hiding in a corner, saw it all clearly.

He was trembling like a leaf, too scared to even let out a fart!

The innkeeper, standing before Chen Xiongfei, was so terrified he forgot to breathe.

"You... you..."

The innkeeper stammered for a long time, but couldn't even utter a complete sentence!

Chen Xiongfei grabbed the innkeeper by the collar and yanked him up from the ground.

He said, word by word, with great ferocity, "Find the person who killed my Thunderclap Hall disciple."

"Otherwise, you'll pay with your life!"

With that, Chen Xiongfei threw the innkeeper aside like a piece of trash.

In that situation, the innkeeper didn't dare to utter a single word of refusal.

He could only brace himself and say, "Alright, alright, great hero, please don't be angry!"

"I'll go find him for you right away!"

Then, the innkeeper quickly called the waiter, and they headed upstairs.

Gu Chen was still consolidating his cultivation at the time.

He intended to make his already impregnable cultivation even more unshakeable.

Just as Gu Chen was about to channel his energy, a sudden knock came from outside.

At that moment, a murderous glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes.

He detested being disturbed while cultivating.

However, Gu Chen quickly suppressed his anger and opened the door, only to find the innkeeper and the waiter.

But judging by the expressions on their faces, they seemed to have been extremely frightened.

Before Gu Chen could speak, the innkeeper quickly said, "Guest, you should leave quickly."

Hearing this, Gu Chen was puzzled.

He couldn't help but ask, "I've already paid, why should I leave in a hurry?"

The innkeeper was already flustered and lost.

He could only stammer out an explanation, "Guest, you... you accidentally killed that person last night!"

"The Rookie Competition is starting soon, and I don't know who you are."

"But my humble establishment can't accommodate a distinguished guest like you. You should leave quickly, or you'll be in big trouble!"

In reality, the innkeeper wasn't being entirely kind by helping Gu Chen cover up the murder.

However, the innkeeper also knew that Gu Chen, who could kill that fatty with a single punch last night, must have extraordinary strength!

As a result, he didn't dare to offend Gu Chen and could only urge him to leave immediately.

As for Chen Xiongfei, he could always report the matter to the authorities later.

Even if Chen Xiongfei was arrogant, he wouldn't dare to kill me directly in front of the authorities if the killer had already escaped.

However, Gu Chen didn't take the innkeeper's words to heart at all.

Instead, he replied calmly, "I've looked around, and your inn has the best feng shui, and it's also suitable for me to cultivate and adjust my body."

"Besides, I've already paid for the room, so don't disturb me if there's nothing important."

Seeing Gu Chen about to close the door, the innkeeper and the waiter were extremely anxious.

The innkeeper quickly said, "Guest, you really can't stay any longer!"

"The person you... you killed last night was actually a disciple of Thunderclap Hall."

"The people from Thunderclap Hall have already come looking for you, so you should leave quickly!"

As soon as Gu Chen heard the name Thunderclap Hall, he couldn't help but fall into thought.

He had some impression of this sect.

Thunderclap Hall was a small sect in Immortal County.

They usually went around collecting protection fees, equivalent to local thugs at most.

Gu Chen recalled that in his previous life, the disciples of Thunderclap Hall didn't even pass the first round of selection and were all eliminated.

This made Gu Chen feel that the fat man from last night was really weak.

After all, Gu Chen hadn't even used his full strength with that punch last night, and the fat man was directly beaten to death.

Gu Chen couldn't even imagine what would have happened if he had used his full strength at that time.

With that fat man's cultivation, wouldn't he have been blown to pieces on the spot by himself?

Seeing Gu Chen lost in thought for a long time, the innkeeper thought Gu Chen was scared.

As a result, Gu Chen immediately replied, "A mere Thunderclap Hall, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Do you need to make such a fuss?"

Seeing Gu Chen's stubborn attitude, the innkeeper and the waiter almost swore!

Moreover, Gu Chen had just said "a mere Thunderclap Hall," making it sound like the people from Thunderclap Hall were very weak!

"Guest, you..."

The innkeeper clearly looked like he had something to say but stopped.

However, he then thought that good advice is wasted on deaf ears.

Since Gu Chen was so reckless, even if he was beaten to death by Chen Xiongfei next, it would be Gu Chen's fate.

Gu Chen also saw the difficulty on the innkeeper's face.

He pondered for a moment. This trouble was caused by himself after all. It might as well be resolved while he was at it.

This way, he could cultivate with greater peace of mind.

With that thought, Gu Chen directly said to the innkeeper, "You just said that people from Thunderclap Hall have arrived, right?"

"It's fine, I'll go down with you to see what's going on."

After saying that, Gu Chen strode directly towards the main hall of the inn.
