The moment Chen Xiongfei heard that, his anger flared up.
He said impatiently, "My arm is broken! Does this look like I'm fine to you?"
But Chen Xiongfei also knew that his arm had been bleeding nonstop. Sooner or later, he would die from excessive blood loss.
By then, forget his Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level cultivation.
No matter what cultivation level one had, once all the blood drained from the body, they were dead!
At that thought, Chen Xiongfei's heart immediately filled with terror.
Enduring the pain from his severed arm, he shuffled step by step before Gu Chen and said, "Little brother, just now... just now, I offended you."
"Could you please withdraw your divine ability and stop my arm from bleeding?"
As the saying went, a true man could bend and stretch.
Chen Xiongfei, who had been strutting about arrogantly just moments ago, instantly cowered before Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took a bite of the stewed meat before him and replied indifferently, "Kneel and apologize, and I'll forgive you."
Yet those words stabbed even deeper into Chen Xiongfei's heart.
For so long, Chen Xiongfei had robbed and plundered throughout this area, collecting quite a bit of protection money.
But it had always been others kneeling and begging Chen Xiongfei to help them.
No one had ever dared to make Chen Xiongfei kneel!
If it had been anyone ordinary, Chen Xiongfei would have long since thrown caution to the wind and taught them how to behave.
The key was that Gu Chen was no ordinary person!
He had broken one of his arms with such ease. That strength was simply terrifying!
Thus, no matter how displeased Chen Xiongfei was, he could only force down the resentment in his heart.
With a thud, Chen Xiongfei dropped to his knees before Gu Chen on the spot.
Forcing himself to speak, he said to Gu Chen, "Little brother, I'm truly sorry!"
"Please, save me!"
The moment they saw this, everyone around them was dumbfounded.
They had imagined Chen Xiongfei rising up to resist. They had imagined Gu Chen killing Chen Xiongfei outright.
They had even imagined Thunderclap Hall rushing here to rescue Chen Xiongfei from his plight.
But no matter what, they had never expected this.
Chen Xiongfei had actually knelt before Gu Chen!
He had even apologized to Gu Chen in such a humble manner!
And from beginning to end, Gu Chen had not even spared Chen Xiongfei a proper glance.
He happily finished the stewed meat in his bowl, then stood up, intending to return upstairs.
Before leaving, Gu Chen flicked the jar of strong liquor at his side, sending it flying straight into Chen Xiongfei.
Crack!
The wine jar shattered in an instant. The strong liquor splashed over the wound on Chen Xiongfei's severed arm, immediately bringing him pain that felt like he was on the brink of death.
It felt as though countless sharp needles were ceaselessly stabbing at Chen Xiongfei's nerves.
At certain moments, Chen Xiongfei even felt that the pain would kill him alive!
Chen Xiongfei's little lackey was so terrified that he nearly lost control of his bowels.
Because he had never expected Gu Chen to be so ruthless!
It was also at that moment that Chen Xiongfei discovered in surprise.
The wound on his severed arm had truly stopped bleeding!
Once he realized that Gu Chen had been treating his injury just now, Chen Xiongfei became even more furious.
He had clearly already knelt before Gu Chen.
He had even apologized to Gu Chen so humbly in public.
Yet Gu Chen had treated him so roughly. This left Chen Xiongfei's heart brimming with rage!
But under those circumstances, Chen Xiongfei did not dare say anything more to Gu Chen.
Because he knew that if he angered Gu Chen.
He truly would die!
Immortal County, outer city gate.
Wei Qingyu looked at the towering, majestic city gate before her with delight written all over her face. Her mood could not have been more cheerful.
Because once she came here, she could participate in the Rookie Competition and obtain the most generous rewards.
Perhaps she might even be chosen as a closed-door disciple by some great sect, allowing her Cultivation Level to soar by leaps and bounds.
Then she could beat Gu Chen to death with her bare hands and vent her anger properly!
In her previous life, Wei Qingyu had come to Immortal County under Gu Chen's lead.
Although Gu Chen had always appeared to take good care of her, Wei Qingyu now understood that Gu Chen had been pretending from beginning to end!
Gu Chen had deliberately taught her incorrect cultivation methods, causing her Cultivation Level to remain forever unable to surpass his.
It was even because of Gu Chen that Wei Qingyu had failed to take first place in the competition in her previous life, missing her chance with the great sects!
This time, Wei Qingyu swore that she would never repeat the same mistakes.
Now that Gu Chen was no longer secretly tripping her up, Wei Qingyu believed she would definitely shine brilliantly at the Rookie Competition!
While Wei Qingyu was still envisioning her wonderful future ahead.
Her parents' voices suddenly came from behind her.
"Good daughter, we'll see you off here."
Wei Qingshan looked at his daughter before him with great relief.
Then Liu Yucui said from the side, "Your father and I originally wanted to go to Immortal County with you and accompany you to the Rookie Competition."
"But after thinking it over, you're already so grown up. It's time for you to go out and make your way in the world."
"It's just that with you going alone, we can't help but worry a little."
"Although that Gu family's Gu Chen is not particularly capable, if he accompanied you, your father and I could at least worry a little less."
The moment she heard Gu Chen's name, Wei Qingyu immediately felt irritated.
She said impatiently, "Don't mention Gu Chen. Why would I need some useless trash to accompany me to the competition?"
"That guy would only hold me back. I don't need him!"
"And what if I go alone? I'll still take the championship!"
Wei Qingyu felt that she had been an Empress in her previous life.
Even though she had now been reborn, participating in a Rookie Competition like this was nothing but crushing it from a higher dimension.
At that thought, Wei Qingyu directly took the luggage from her parents' hands.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to see me off anymore!"
Wei Qingyu did not even exchange a few more pleasantries with her parents before walking through the city gate without looking back.
Because Wei Qingyu had come to Immortal County once in her previous life.
The surroundings here were therefore not too unfamiliar to her.
"I didn't expect everything here to be exactly the same as before."
Just as Wei Qingyu was sighing with emotion, she suddenly overheard the conversation of passersby nearby.
"Someone from Thunderclap Hall got beaten up. I heard one of his arms was even broken off!"
"Yeah, such a huge arm just fell right off. It scared the life out of me!"
"I heard Thunderclap Hall's Chen Xiongfei even knelt and apologized to that young man afterward. It's truly unbelievable."
"Thunderclap Hall has been used to throwing its weight around. It's not bad for them to suffer a little now."
Hearing the passersby say this, Wei Qingyu could not help frowning.
She could not help grumbling inwardly, Are the people of Immortal County really this simple and honest?
