"Stop!"
At this moment, Zhou Xiong finally got out of the car. The old man was furious, glaring at Gu Chen, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, let go of my granddaughter!"
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Chen shifted his gaze to Zhou Xiong, a cold smile playing on his lips. As he spoke, Gu Chen tossed Zhou Xue'er to the ground.
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhou Xue'er rolled over on the ground, then covered her neck, which was now red, and coughed repeatedly.
"Zhou Xue'er, I won't kill you now."
Gu Chen's icy voice rang out, "I'll deal with you after I kill him."
"Arrogant!"
Zhou Xiong was furious. He stared at Gu Chen, his old eyes filled with intense killing intent.
"You old fool, you deserve some credit for letting the Zhou Family father and daughter act so arrogantly and domineeringly!" Gu Chen said coldly, "Do you know who I'm waiting for here? It's you!"
Zhou Xiong roared, "Gu Family brat, I was going to show you mercy out of consideration for our past relationship, but seeing you today, you're truly lawless and dare to cause trouble in my Zhou Family. Don't blame me for being impolite!"
After a pause, Zhou Xiong said coldly, "I never imagined that the first person I would deal with after breaking through to the Revolving Illumination Realm would be a mere brat like you. But so be it, I'll kill you and then proceed with my Zhou Family's grand plan!"
"Ridiculous." Gu Chen's face was full of disdain.
Seeing Gu Chen's arrogance, even Zhou Xiong, with his composure, could not tolerate it. He cursed angrily, and with a light leap, his body sped towards Gu Chen like an arrow!
He raised his arm, his palm burning hot, like rolling iron filings, and with a low, heavy strike aimed at Gu Chen!
"You old scoundrel, you talk a good game, but you're all despicable and shameless."
A glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. Zhou Xiong's palm strike was extremely vicious, aimed directly at the top of his head. If it landed, Gu Chen's skull would probably explode and he would die!
But Gu Chen didn't intend to dodge; instead, he raised his fist in response!
"Emperor Fist!"
The "Heaven and Earth Creation Art" surged within his body, and True Qi flowed through all his meridians, eventually converging on Gu Chen's right fist. Then, with the force of a thunderbolt, he slammed it fiercely towards Zhou Xiong!
Zhou Xiong laughed loudly and said, "Boy, you've only been cultivating for a few years, yet you dare to challenge me head-on!"
He had only recently advanced to the Revolving Illumination Realm and was just about to unleash his full potential with great momentum. Gu Chen's overestimation of his abilities made him both angry and furious once again!
Unfortunately, the next second, he realized he was wrong!
Bang!
A muffled thud echoed from the void as palm and fist collided!
At the same time, Zhou Xiong felt a surge of true energy, hotter and more True Qi than his own, instantly penetrate his body, not only completely deflecting his attack, but also showing no sign of slowing down.
Zhou Xiong felt his body churning violently, and he couldn't hold back the mouthful of blood that gushed out!
Puff!
His body flew backward, and Zhou Xiong fell to the ground, utterly disheveled and unable to get up.
"How, how could this be!"
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zhou Xiong's eyes were filled with resentment and disbelief.
Gu Chen's cultivation level had actually reached the Revolving Illumination Realm, and the purity of his True Qi even surpassed that of him!
"Your moves are so outdated." Gu Chen's expression remained unchanged as he stepped forward and stomped on Zhou Xiong's body!
"Laugh--"
Zhou Xiong gasped in shock; Gu Chen's kick had landed squarely on his dantian!
If he hadn't still had a breath left in his dantian, that kick would have almost crippled him!
When Zhou Xue'er Zhou Xiong got out of the car, Zhou Xueer thought Gu Chen was practically a dead man. But she never expected that Gu Chen would defeat her grandfather Zhou Xiong, who had already defeated her, with just one move!
You must know, Zhou Xiong has already reached the Revolving Illumination Realm, which is Grandmaster level!
At this moment, Zhou Xue'er was horrified. Looking at Zhou Xiong, who was being trampled under Gu Chen's feet, she finally realized that Gu Chen was not only a martial artist, but also a Grandmaster Realm martial artist!
But how could that be?!
If he were Grandmaster, there would be no way the Zhou Family would break off the engagement, and how could the Gu Family possibly expel him and his father!
Zhou Xue'er couldn't understand it, she just couldn't understand it!
Her mind, usually so adept at scheming, was now a complete mess, utterly confused!
"Gu Chen, what do you want to do?"
Seeing her grandfather's pained expression, Zhou Xue'er hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "If you dare to do anything to my grandfather, the Zhou Family will not let you get away with it!"
Gu Chen smiled dismissively and turned around, saying, "How exactly do you plan to not let this go?"
Zhou Xue'er opened her mouth, but under Gu Chen's fierce gaze, she couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
At this moment, Gu Chen continued, "Now you can take a look at the scene inside your Zhou Family manor."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Xue'er was taken aback at first, but quickly turned her gaze over.
What did she see? -- A bloodied head, and a headless body!
Zhou Nanfeng! His father!
The next second, her delicate body trembled violently, her expression shifting dramatically before finally freezing in shock, like a clay statue. After a long while, she finally roared, "Dad!"
A heart-wrenching sound, filled with unbearable grief!
"Gu Chen, you, you, you..."
Zhou Xue'er crawled on the ground a few times, but her body seemed to have no strength. She stopped after crawling a few times, then turned her head shakily, staring angrily at Gu Chen, her teeth chattering as if she was about to bite them off!
Gu Chen felt extremely pleased. He wasn't a pervert, but Zhou Xue'er's current miserable state gave him a sense of satisfaction, as if he had finally gotten his revenge!
His eyes were cold, devoid of any pity. Thinking of everything the Zhou Family had done to them in their past life, he felt no guilt whatsoever!
"What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that I'm heartless and ruthless?"
Gu Chen activated his Emperor's Vein, and suddenly, a Dragon Scale Sword appeared in his hand.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Xue'er asked in a trembling voice.
"You Zhou Family will pay the price!"
Whoosh!
In Zhou Xue'er's horrified eyes, the sword's edge flashed and pierced through Zhou Xiong's body!
Zhou Xiong's dantian was pinned down by Gu Chen, making it impossible for him to gather his qi. He could only stare wide-eyed as the sword tip drew closer and closer, finally piercing through his body!
With a "thud," Zhou Xiong was pierced through by a sword. He lay on the ground, trembled a few times, and then coughed up blood and died!
"Grandfather!"
Zhou Xue'er was furious and let out another loud roar!
"Despair?"
In the deathly atmosphere of the space, the smell of blood seemed to be spreading constantly. The pressure from death was so intense, like boiling water, that it caused her to convulse in terror.
Gu Chen's voice and smile, however, sounded more like those of a demon.
Zhou Xue'er couldn't muster any strength at all. She lay on the ground, watching Gu Chen slowly pull out his long sword and walk towards her. She was filled with endless fear, supporting herself with her hands on the ground and retreating continuously.
