This news was incredibly exciting for Zhou Xue'er. Her pretty face lit up with excitement as she exclaimed, "Grandpa, congratulations! My dad probably doesn't know yet, right?"
"Have no idea."
Zhou Xiong chuckled and said, "Wasn't this meant to be a surprise for you?"
"Grandpa, this is such a wonderful surprise!" Zhou Xue'er thought to herself, then continued, "Zhou City isn't a first-class city in Huaxia, and martial artists are extremely rare here. With Grandmaster like Grandpa here, even if the Wen Family and the Xiang Family wanted to deny it, they wouldn't be able to."
"Not bad!" Zhou Xiong said with an arrogant expression, "The Xiang Family has the longest history in Zhou City, but that old bastard Xiang Linde probably didn't expect that I have already reached the Grandmaster Realm. With the support of the Steel Tremor Sect, the day we reach the top is not far off!"
"Father will be so excited when he hears this news!"
Zhou Xue'er nodded, and the convoy drove onto the mountain road. Then, looking ahead, the outline of the Zhou Family manor began to appear in their field of vision.
"Grandpa, we've arrived," Zhou Xue'er said.
"Hmm." Zhou Xiong leaned slightly back on the cushion.
Just then, Zhou Xiong suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait a minute, there seems to be a smell of blood in the air?"
Actually, Zhou Xue'er had already noticed something was wrong without being reminded, because the manor gate, which was usually tightly closed, was now wide open, and there was a person standing at the gate.
Dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, their momentum was like a rainbow.
The boy's eyes were disdainful, like a sharp arrow piercing straight into the heavens and the earth.
Gu Chen!
Zhou Xue'er's pretty face turned cold, a sinister glint in her eyes, and she said, "How could he be here?!"
"This is the Gu Family's son?" Zhou Xiong sat up, looked through the windshield, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "Your former fiancé?"
Although he had been in seclusion in the Daoist temple for a long time, Zhou Xiong had heard about this marriage and its origins.
"My dad arrested Gu Beichi, and I reckon this kid's here to cause trouble," Zhou Xue'er sneered. "But he dares to come all alone, who does he think he is?"
"You young people should handle your own affairs."
Zhou Xiong said calmly, "Nanfeng hasn't come out, so it doesn't seem appropriate for me to show up."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll handle it." Zhou Xue'er nodded, parked the car, got out, and looked at Gu Chen.
Zhou Xue'er's lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, "Gu Chen, what are you doing here?"
Gu Chen sat at the door for about ten minutes when he heard the sound of car engines coming from below. Soon after, four cars came into his view.
Then, Zhou Xue'er got out of the car and questioned him.
Gu Chen didn't answer at first, but Zhou Xue'er sneered again and said, "Gu Chen, this is the Zhou Family, not a place you can just come to. Don't tarnish our Zhou Family's reputation by standing at the gate! Get out of here, or I'll be impolite to you!"
Gu Chen laughed and said, "You should know perfectly well why I'm here."
"I know nothing!" Zhou Xue'er said disdainfully, "Gu Chen, I still remember what you did to me yesterday. Before I lose my temper, call security out, and you can still get out of here!"
"Zhou Xue'er, it's a real waste that you're not studying acting." Gu Chen shook his head and said calmly, "But unfortunately, your father has confessed to everything. The actions of your Zhou Family have crossed my bottom line."
"My dad confessed?"
Zhou Xue'er was taken aback at first, then glanced at the villa in the manor. From her direction, she couldn't see the mess inside, so she sneered again, "What a joke!"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Gu Chen looked at her coldly and said, word by word, "Zhou Xue'er, your mistake is that you take yourself too seriously and don't care about other people's lives and dignity. The destruction of the Zhou Family and the death of your father are both related to your arrogance."
"What did you say?"
Zhou Xue'er's delicate body trembled, and she looked at Gu Chen in disbelief, saying, "The Zhou Family is destroyed? My father is dead?"
"I've been here waiting for you." A cold glint flashed across Gu Chen's face as he said, "Otherwise, I would have left long ago."
"No, impossible!"
Terror overwhelmed Zhou Xue'er like a tidal wave. Gu Chen's words were simply too horrifying. She instinctively took a step back, then shouted sharply, "Gu Chen, you're trying to trick me? Dream on!"
"Trying to trick you?" Gu Chen shook his head and sighed, "I don't have time for that. Today, this place will be your burial ground. You will pay the price for everything you've done! Zhou Nanfeng has been executed; next, it's your turn!"
With that, Gu Chen pushed off with his back leg, and his body shot towards Zhou Xue'er like a cannonball!
Incredibly fast!
The distance of over twenty meters seemed to be covered in an instant, and the next second, Zhou Xue'er's neck was grabbed by Gu Chen, and she was lifted up into the air!
brush--
Six or seven martial arts guards from the Zhou Family got out of the Buick behind. Everything had happened so fast that they didn't react until Gu Chen had grabbed Zhou Xue'er. One of them angrily shouted, "How dare you cause trouble in the Zhou Family! Put down our young lady!"
"Let her go?" Gu Chen said coldly, "When has she ever let go of us, father and son?"
Gu Chen didn't turn his head at all, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhou Xue'er. He said, word by word, "Zhou Xue'er, do you know how long I've waited for this moment? You ruined my Gu Family, caused our deaths, made my father suffer endless torment, and caused me to fall off a cliff and die! All the sins of the past will be settled today!"
Zhou Xue'er's feet were dangling from the ground. Under Gu Chen's astonishing killing intent, she not only couldn't breathe, but her pretty face turned from red to green, and finally turned deathly pale, unable to say a word.
She dared not meet Gu Chen's gaze, yet she had no choice but to. Gu Chen's eyes were like a deep, viscous sea of blood, and Gu Chen voice was like a ghostly shrill cry, sending a deep shiver down one's spine!
"Court death!"
The Zhou Family guards were furious. Seeing that Gu Chen didn't take them seriously and still showed no sign of letting go, they immediately rushed towards him!
But just as they were about to get close, Gu Chen stomped his foot hard!
Bang!
Centered on Gu Chen, the ground cracked deeply beneath his foot, the fissures spreading outwards like a spiderweb! At the same time, a massive aura erupted, and martial artists who had just approached within a few meters of Gu Chen were blasted away by the surging waves of earth and energy!
Seven martial artists lay on the ground, groaning in pain!
Dust filled the air, landing on Zhou Xue'er's body and head, and fear quickly filled her eyes.
Although Gu Chen had her neck choked, she hadn't lost consciousness yet. The astonishing power she felt made her hardly believe her eyes!
This... was done by Gu Chen, whom he had already relegated to the status of a useless person in his heart?!
He's a martial artist?!
