"Patriarch Zhou Family, don't you find that ridiculous?"
Gu Chen's eyes were icy as he said, "I dared to kill even your backer, so why wouldn't I dare to kill you?"
"No, that's not right! Gu Beichi is still in our hands. If you kill me, you won't find him!"
Zhou Nanfeng is still making a last-ditch effort!
Gu Chen shook his head and said calmly, "Even if I kill you, I can still find my father, your backer. He will tell me everything."
Zhou Nanfeng's mouth was dry, but he had to admit that what Gu Chen said was true.
Perhaps because the aura of death was too close, or perhaps because he knew that Gu Chen was truly determined to kill him, Zhou Nanfeng was like a drowning man. Driven by an intense will to survive, he disregarded everything else and knelt down in Gu Chen's direction!
"Gu Chen, please, don't kill me!"
Zhou Nanfeng's voice was already trembling with sobs.
The Zhou Family patriarch, who was usually aloof and full of vigor, was now like a frightened bird, causing the Zhou Family's martial artists to involuntarily lower their heads, unable to bear to look at him any longer.
In fact, when the gap between one person and another is not particularly obvious, many people can choose to remain steadfast rather than compromise. However, when the gap reaches a certain level and one knows that it is insurmountable, this pressure and fear will overwhelm them like a tidal wave.
Zhou Nanfeng felt this way right now; the pressure Gu Chen was putting on him was simply too much.
"Zhou Nanfeng, don't you consider my father's and my lives as insignificant as ants?"
Faced with his pleas for mercy, Gu Chen's eyes were icy, his voice filled with sarcasm, and there was not a trace of pity in his eyes. He coldly said, "Didn't you think we were just pawns abandoned by the Gu Family, so that your Zhou Family could trample on our dignity at will?"
"No, no..." Zhou Nanfeng forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"No?" Gu Chen snorted coldly and said, "When you learned that we were expelled from the Gu Family, how did you treat my son and me? Not only did you annul the engagement, but you also suppressed us in every way! Your good daughter, Zhou Xue'er, set a trap, almost causing me to lose my legs, and also causing Su Qingqing and me to bear the stigma!! You guys are very good, not only in public but also in public opinion, you want to stand on the moral high ground!"
After a pause, Gu Chen's face turned extremely cold, and he said grimly, "Also, you wanted to make my father and me lose face at Zhou Xue'er's birthday banquet, turning us into laughingstocks like rats in the street! If I hadn't been quick-witted, my father and I would already be too ashamed to show our faces in public!"
Gu Chen spoke through gritted teeth, his anger blazing!
He recalled the various tragic scenes from his previous life. If he hadn't reversed time and returned here, all these tragedies would still have happened!
"Gu Chen, I didn't mean that. It was your Gu Family family who made me do this. I just wanted to break off the engagement, really..." Zhou Nanfeng said in a trembling voice.
"Further words are pointless." Gu Chen's eyes were cold as he looked at Zhou Nanfeng as if he were a dead man. He said, "Whether it's the Gu Family or the Steel Tremor Sect, you've been a participant. You deserve to die!"
"Gu..."
"Shut up!" Gu Chen glared angrily and said, "Originally, I planned to deal with your Zhou Family Zhou Family, crushing you from all sides. But then I changed my mind—if I were an ant, I might have to swallow my anger, but I'm not! Since I have the power, why shouldn't I crush you decisively? Zhou Nanfeng, I've waited until now to expose your backer and make you completely collapse! When you tried to scheme against my father and me, when you took my father hostage, you should have thought of this! Your Zhou Family is finished!"
Every word Gu Chen uttered was like a vicious whip, raised high and pulled down forcefully, striking Zhou Nanfeng's heart, face, and body, causing him a burning pain and turning his face deathly pale.
That's ruthless, absolutely ruthless!
To kill someone, you must also destroy their spirit!
But he still refused to give up hope of survival, stammering, "Gu Chen, this is a society governed by law. Murder is illegal! I have money! Our Zhou Family is one of the three most powerful families in Zhou City! Just don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want! Just like Jiang Kun, I'll give you shares, just let me go!"
"Money?" Gu Chen said indifferently, "Do you think I would care about your little bit of money? As for Jiang Kun? You're different from him. He can live, but you must die! Not only will you die, but your daughter, your family, and everyone involved will die too!"
When the Divine Emperor is enraged, the corpses will not only float for miles!
Gu Chen's words left Zhou Nanfeng in a daze, his whole body trembling and shaking.
Puff!
Overcome with rage, Zhou Nanfeng spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You, you are so cruel!"
At this moment, Zhou Nanfeng finally realized that Gu Chen had made up his mind. He looked at Gu Chen with resentment in his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"Ruthless? Even if you're ruthless, you can't compare to you two!" Gu Chen said indifferently, "Zhou Nanfeng, see you out!"
"No!"
Zhou Nanfeng's pupils contracted, and before he could even let out a roar, his voice creaked and abruptly stopped, like a broken organ!
His head was severed by Gu Chen's sword!
The blood-soaked half-body slowly fell to the ground! The head rolled, eyes wide open, dying with unseeing disbelief!
"Master!"
Gu Lin was furious, but seeing Zhou Nanfeng dead filled him with grief!
"You can't escape either!" Gu Chen turned to look at Gu Lin, his face cold.
"Gu Chen, you actually dared to kill the patriarch! You're finished! You're finished!" Gu Lin pointed at Gu Chen excitedly and said, "Zhou Family is a well-known entrepreneur in Zhou City. Putting aside his other identities, just his cooperation with the government alone means you're doomed!"
"Is that so?" Gu Chen said arrogantly, "I am Grandmaster, who dares to touch me?"
Boom!
These words exploded like a muffled thunderclap!
Extremely arrogant!
But Gu Lin's face immediately turned pale, because he knew that what Gu Chen said was true!
Once you reach the Revolving Illumination Realm, the laws and rules of this world can no longer hinder a martial artist of this level!
Gu Chen killed Zhou Nanfeng, and only the sects will deal with him, but the secular forces will never dare to touch him!
Gu Chen, who calls himself the Heavenly Pivot Sect, is not even afraid of the Steel Tremor Sect, so naturally he is not afraid of sect retaliation!
"Master, I've come to keep you company!"
In despair, Gu Lin knew he was doomed. As Zhou Nanfeng's loyal butler who had served him faithfully for many years, he let out a wail and slammed his palm onto the top of his head.
Puff!
Blood spurted out, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
"He was a man of sorts." Gu Chen glanced at Gu Lin's corpse and said calmly, "Give him some dignity."
"Yes." Zhu Jun understood and stepped forward to collect the body.
"Elder Jiang, you know what I'm going to ask."
After doing all this, Gu Chen stored the Dragon Scale Sword in the Emperor's Vein, then slowly walked up to Jiang Yi and coldly said, "You only have ten seconds to consider."
