Gu Fengchen sidestepped, then struck with Thunderbolt Fist, slamming a punch into the man behind him. The man's chest caved in, and he died on the spot!

Three remained!

Gu Fengchen spotted Mu Li and Mu She amid the torrential rain, and his gaze locked directly onto Mu Li.

He already knew that Mr. Yao, Yao Chen, must have tipped Mu Li off. Otherwise, why would the latter appear in a place like this in the middle of the night, during a downpour?

"Dou Shi? This guy is definitely a Dou Shi! Mu Li, are you fucking trying to get your father killed? Fuck!" Mu She cursed as he watched his men get slaughtered one after another, his heart growing heavier.

Even though Mu Li was his son, Mu She was having trouble restraining the urge to strangle his own stupid child after such a foolish blunder!

Mu Li was dumbfounded as well. He had not expected the boy, who had only been a Dou Practitioner during the day, to become a Dou Shi by nighttime!

Had he concealed his strength during the day?

But while he was still pondering this, a fist hurtled toward his face.

Mu Li had no time to react before he was smashed to the ground, his face caving in from the blow!

"Ah Chong, kill him with me! Take him down!" Mu She exchanged a glance with the remaining man. They knew that only one side could survive this battle.

Yet just as Mu She and the others were about to risk their lives, they discovered that the boy had vanished.

Mu She thought of a creature: a wolf!

The other party was using a wolf pack's hunting tactics, trying to wear them down.

Wolves were extremely cautious animals. They were unwilling to get injured easily for the sake of a hunt, and even less willing to give their prey a chance to make a desperate last stand.

So, the other party must have realized that he was a Dou Shi and abandoned his previous tactics, retreating into the darkness to wage a battle of attrition against him!

"Ah Chong, don't separate—"

Before he could finish, a Silver Needle shot toward the unconscious Mu Li. Mu She cursed and hurriedly picked up Mu Li to dodge, only to instinctively realize something was wrong.

Because he had separated from Ah Chong!

Facing Gu Fengchen's sudden ambush, Ah Chong did not panic. He was a Nine Star Dou Practitioner with rich combat experience, and he quickly responded.

His hands shot toward Gu Fengchen's shoulders like a pair of pincers.

Gu Fengchen's eyes were incomparably calm, like a venomous snake lying in wait for prey. The dagger in his hand became a chilling flash of cold light, slicing across the arms reaching for him like pincers.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame Body granted not only immortality and indestructibility, but a comprehensive enhancement to every aspect of the body, naturally including reflexes and agility!

Gu Fengchen's sharp dagger instantly sank into the man's arm muscles, blood scattering together with the rain.

Gu Fengchen severed his arm.

"Ahhh!!"

The sudden agony tore a shrill howl from Ah Chong. For an ordinary eleven-year-old boy, such a bloody scene would have been enough to make him faint on the spot.

Yet Gu Fengchen was like a calm spectator. Whether in his gaze or expression, he was as cold as ancient ice, calm to a terrifying degree.

Gu Fengchen's face was covered in blood, yet his expression remained indifferent, and the blade in his hand was stained crimson.

Gu Fengchen remained expressionless, like a calm doctor holding a scalpel.

The next second, the coldly gleaming dagger plunged into Ah Chong's heart.

The last trace of sound vanished.

Ah Chong, dead!

Without pausing for even a moment, Gu Fengchen charged at Mu She.

Mu She had already donned a thin layer of white gauze, Dou Qi Gauze!

At the same time, bracers extended from both his arms. Their front and side edges were lined with teeth and gleamed with metallic sharpness. They could pierce, rake, sweep, hook, entangle, intercept, coil, and slice, displaying every kind of strange and vicious technique.

This was Mu She's weapon: Mantis Claws.

Gu Fengchen did not care about Mu She's weapon at all and charged straight at him.

He had already assessed him. Mu She was merely a Dou Shi.

Even if a Da Dou Shi came today, Gu Fengchen would still beat him down, let alone some mere Dou Shi!

Mu She immediately swung his Mantis Claws forward in a stabbing attack.

Mu She was not especially tall, but his shoulders were exceedingly broad. Standing in the rain, he resembled a fortified iron tower, while the muscles of his exposed arms bulged and twisted like tree roots.

Yet Gu Fengchen fiercely swatted aside that heavy, powerful strike with his right hand, blocking it head-on with a dull thud.

Mu She's pupils suddenly contracted. He had caught his cold weapon barehanded?

No one knew better than him how powerful that strike had been.

Combined with the sharpness of the Mantis Claws, a Dou Shi's strength would surely injure even another Dou Shi if it landed.

Bang!

Mu She suddenly swung his Mantis Claws at a large tree beside him. The sharp claws pierced straight through the tree trunk, so thick that three men could not wrap their arms around it.

This time, Mu She was completely stunned.

There was nothing wrong with his Mantis Claws, so how had the other party blocked them barehanded?

Had he cultivated some kind of Body Cultivation technique?

But what sort of Body Cultivation could be so tyrannical?

Across from him, Gu Fengchen's expression darkened. The other party had come to kill him—if he wanted to kill, then kill. Why did he have to destroy a tree?

As an environmentalist, Gu Fengchen could not tolerate it.

Seeing Gu Fengchen's expression suddenly change, Mu She was baffled. The boy's expression had not changed when he had been trying to kill people just now, so why was he getting angry over cutting down a tree?

The Indestructible Golden Body was an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique.

Whether tempering the skin and flesh or nurturing the blood and qi, it brought "external cultivation" to its ultimate limit.

At this moment, Gu Fengchen had become a formidable and powerful Body Cultivator!

But Mu She had no path of retreat left. A vicious glint flashed through his eyes. Years of life as a mercenary had left him no shortage of the ruthlessness needed to trade his life for another's!

He took a step forward with his right foot, using his left claw as a shield while hooking upward with his right, thrusting it toward Gu Fengchen's chest and abdomen like a sharp sword.

Gu Fengchen's expression remained calm, and he said nothing.

He drew the long saber in his hand and twisted it from left to right. The single saber spun back as he stepped sideways, his body swaying like a willow. He easily evaded the Mantis Claws before thrusting the saber straight ahead!

Mu She leaped backward and said coldly, "Brat! Who the hell do you think you are? You really think you can kill Grandpa Mu?"

In terms of cultivation, he was confident that he stood higher.

Though the other party was a Dou Shi, he had clearly only just entered the realm.

As for courage and ferocity? He lacked neither!

"You think you're worthy of fighting me to the death?"

However, after exchanging a few blows, Gu Fengchen made him understand whether he was worthy or not.

Mu She simply could not believe that this boy, who looked no more than eleven or twelve, possessed such absurd strength. When his fists struck them, the two felt as if they had been hit by a charging rhinoceros. They were sent flying repeatedly, their bones cracking loudly.

And whenever his Mantis Claws collided with the long saber in the other party's hand, the other party seemed to feel nothing at all. Instead, the webbing between their own thumbs and forefingers split open from the shock, covered in blood!

Mu She looked despairingly at Mu Li behind him, whose fate was unknown, and inwardly condemned him without end: Wretched son! My wretched son has doomed me!

Mu She was pinned to the ground by Gu Fengchen, unable to move.

His arm bones, leg bones, ribs—everything was broken.

Fuck, and that Yao Chen too. Was that idiot fucking stupid? Didn't he say the kid was a Dou Practitioner?

How had he become a Dou Shi? And with a monstrous father like this, fine, you idiots provoked him yourselves, but why drag me into it? Are you all actually blind?!

Mu She's thoughts ended there, because Gu Fengchen gave him no extra chance to speak.

He had already been merciful once. There was no need for a second time!
