"Hold him off!"
Seeing Gu Chen's exaggerated performance, Sixth Master Qin was terrified.
At that moment, he realized he had offended someone he shouldn't have. He roared in panic and dragged his weak legs, fleeing back the way he came as fast as he could! But his henchmen were equally frightened and refused to obey. At the same time, they dropped their weapons and ran away in a panic!
Faced with such an opponent, they were already terrified and had no courage to cover Sixth Master Qin's retreat!
But will Gu Chen give them a chance to escape?
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and then, with a leap of his hind legs, he charged towards his henchmen like a ghost! Within ten seconds, screams of agony rose and fell. Gu Chen's hand chops felled one after another, and more than twenty men, the furthest of whom had run less than twenty meters, were all dead on the spot!
Finally, Sixth Master Qin's body went completely limp, and he sat down on the ground. Looking at Gu Chen walking towards him, he pulled out his pistol and, while firing, cried out in a tearful voice, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
The bullets were quickly fired, but Gu Chen did not stop in his tracks. He then stomped hard on Sixth Master Qin's face!
Then, bending down, Gu Chen twisted Sixth Master Qin's neck and killed him instantly!
After doing all this, Gu Chen turned around and looked at Sun Jiangman.
"This... how is this possible?!"
The gunfire and artillery fire had ceased, and even the members of the Venomous Snake Gang had all perished on the spot. Even after witnessing Gu Chen kill the demonic beast, Sun Jiangman still couldn't accept what she was seeing.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, her face showing disbelief, incredulity, and even terror!
Can a martial artist's physical body be this powerful?
Is this the same coward who just called her a heroine?
How could it be so powerful!
A stench of blood filled the air, and under his gaze, Sun Jiangman felt as if her breath would stop!
"The difference between cultivators and martial artists, even at the same level, is not the same."
Gu Chen looked at his hands and felt quite satisfied.
If he were only at the Early Revolving Illumination Realm yesterday, his protective barrier would never have reached such an exaggerated level. The baptism of guns, rocket launchers, and even bombs just now was to test the resilience of his shield against firearms after his improvement!
And now, I feel pretty good!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Sun Jiangman's expression, Gu Chen knew she was also frightened. He walked over and said, "It's all taken care of, don't worry..."
"Resolved?"
Sun Jiangman shuddered, her expression towards Gu Chen extremely complicated.
But soon, she sprang up from the ground, and the small knife that Gu Chen had taken away reappeared at Gu Chen's neck.
Sun Jiangman suppressed her shock, her voice laced with malice, and feigned composure as she said, "You did such a heinous thing to me, and then left me here alone. You despicable bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
Not again?
Gu Chen gave a wry smile.
On the way back, Gu Chen had already prepared an excuse. He shook his head, sighed, and said, "Actually, you don't know, I'm the only male heir in my family, and we have an ancestral rule that one cannot lose their virginity before the age of twenty-five. If I do, my power will be greatly reduced. But given the situation at the time, if I didn't save you, you would have died on the spot. I couldn't care less about anything else, so I did what I did..."
At this point, Gu Chen's face was filled with grief. He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and said, "I have already given my life essence. If you still want to kill me, I accept it. I have no regrets about dying by your hand!"
It has to be said that Gu Chen's words were incredibly absurd and melodramatic, yet his face remained perfectly serious. Adding to this, Sun Jiangman currently in a state of turmoil, experiencing an unprecedented shock. She gripped the dagger, her expression shifting unpredictably, lost in thought.
It seems that Gu Chen is the one who suffered a loss?
That bastard!
Gu Chen squinted and stole a glance at her, then added fuel to the fire, saying sorrowfully, "After I lost my virginity, much of my original power dissipated. But when I saw that Sixth Master Qin and his group wanted to harm you, I used my last bit of strength to save you without hesitation. Now, I'm practically a cripple."
"Impossible!" Sun Jiangman snapped out of her daze and sneered.
She had just witnessed Gu Chen's abilities, which were even more terrifying than those of the Grandmaster Realm in her memory. It didn't seem like a final burst of energy before death at all.
"I know you don't believe me, heroine. You can try my pulse and see if I still have any Inner Breath left." Gu Chen said, "Every word I just told you is true, every word is from the heart, there is absolutely no falsehood!"
Without a word, Sun Jiangman grabbed Gu Chen's right wrist with her other hand and probed his pulse with her Inner Breath. Immediately, her expression changed!
There's no Inner Breath; there's nothing in my dantian!
How is that possible!?
Sun Jiangman looked up at Gu Chen, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"You should have sensed it by now," Gu Chen said in a low, somber voice, "If you think I'm lying, then just kill me. I'll have no complaints!"
"Where's your Inner Breath?!" Sun Jiangman gasped for breath!
I am a cultivator, I can control my internal energy at will, where would I get Inner Breath from!
But how could Gu Chen say those words aloud? He opened his eyes, looked down at Sun Jiangman, and said affectionately, "I know you don't believe me, but I still have to say it again. Our family has always maintained the tradition of virginity. Don't be fooled by my strength just now; it was all achieved through special techniques that allowed me to maintain my virginity. Moreover, if I lose my virginity before the age of twenty-five, my power will regress."
"That's just a step backward," Sun Jiangman's voice trembled. "Why, why is there absolutely nothing now?"
"After losing my virginity, I need to stabilize for a period of time before I can use martial arts again, otherwise, I will lose all my power!" Gu Chen suddenly said with murderous intent, "But just now, I saw you lying on the ground, with those thieves pointing guns at you, how could I stand by and watch! And although our encounter was accidental, it has become a real affair. You told me to run, how could I abandon you and run away! If I run away, would I still be a man?! So, even if it means risking becoming a cripple, I will save you!"
Gu Chen's statement was full of holes. Sixth Master Qin others were clearly pointing their guns at him, but he insisted on saying that they were pointing them at Sun Jiangman.
Sun Jiangman's thoughts were in disarray, so she couldn't possibly notice the grammatical errors in Gu Chen's words!
In that instant, she found Gu Chen's figure to have become incredibly imposing.
After Gu Chen finished speaking
--boom!
Sun Jiangman's mind seemed to explode, and her delicate body trembled violently!
Hearing the words "You have become my woman" was like a heavy hammer striking her fragile heart. At that moment, she even almost dropped the dagger in her hand.
