This thing belongs to the fire element, and it has a very strong effect on cultivating fire-attribute techniques or suppressing yin-attribute techniques.
Without a second thought, Gu Chen absorbed it into the Emperor's Vein.
With a loud crash, the sound of a wine glass shattering rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a murderous voice echoed throughout the private room.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Zhao Pengfei's gaze turned icy as he stared intently at Gu Chen. But when he saw that Gu Chen had somehow hidden the viper egg away, he flew into a rage and shouted, "Are you courting death?"
This viper egg was a treasure he found by chance after arriving in Zhou City. It was because of this discovery, coupled with the existence of the Nine Yin Mystic Physique, that he strategically abandoned the search for Shennong Grass.
But if Gu Chen were to take it away now, he would definitely be unwilling.
Upon hearing Zhao Pengfei's voice, Xiang Hao suddenly remembered that he had this great expert, Zhao Pengfei, by his side! Xiang Hao wasn't entirely clear about Zhao Pengfei's strength, as he had never seen him truly fight. However, he knew that the other party had only taught him a few methods for cultivating Inner Breath and three and a half moves of the Zhao Family Fist, yet he was already able to hold his own against some martial arts masters!
Although Xiang Hao was the heir apparent of the Zhou City family, he knew that there were people who were above such power, and their strength was unimaginable to ordinary people!
That's a martial artist!
Zhao Pengfei is a martial artist from the Zhao Family, an unparalleled expert from the Shangjing!
Given his background, his strength is certainly not weak, and dealing with Gu Chen in front of him is definitely a piece of cake for him!
Elder Zhao, save me!
At this thought, a glimmer of hope rose in Xiang Hao's heart. He immediately suppressed his fear and screamed in agony.
Zhao Pengfei didn't want to get involved, because from the moment Gu Chen entered the private room, he had sensed the chilling killing intent emanating from this man. What surprised him even more was that, with his martial arts skills, he couldn't discern what level of martial artist Gu Chen was. So he remained silent for the time being, waiting to observe. Even seeing Xiang Hao in such a miserable state, he didn't intend to intervene for the time being.
However, when Gu Chen picked up the viper egg, he finally couldn't resist anymore.
If Gu Chen takes this, he doesn't know when he'll find it again.
Therefore, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Hearing Xiang Hao's cry for help, Zhao Pengfei said calmly, "Don't worry, Young Master Xiang, I'll take care of this kid."
As he spoke, Zhao Pengfei suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, his clothes fluttering without wind, and his small eyes seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, sending chills down one's spine.
Immediately afterwards, with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a blast of air, like a whirlwind rising from the ground, sweeping wildly toward Gu Chen. Then, Gu Chen was struck by the blast, his body losing its balance as he crashed heavily into the TV wall. The broken wires, flashing with light, lay scattered on top of Gu Chen, their fate unknown.
ah?
This scene not only exceeded Xiang Hao's expectations but also surprised Zhao Pengfei. The latter couldn't help but frown. Had he been overthinking things? This kid couldn't even withstand a single move from him; was he just a pretty face with no substance?
"Elder Zhao, your divine might is unparalleled!!"
Seeing Zhao Pengfei's Xiang Hao encouraged. Gu Chen had recently gained immense fame in Zhou City, even wiping out the Zhou Family. But now it seemed he was just a pretty face with no substance, and the family had been far too cautious.
Zhao Pengfei was certain that he had used eighty or ninety percent of his strength just now, and might have really beaten this kid half to death.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Pengfei calmly withdrew his hand and said, "Young Master Xiang, you seem to know this guy. Who exactly is he? I haven't been in Zhou City long. Why are you causing me trouble?"
He is...
"Young Master Xiang, you're amazing!" At this moment, Brother Ba was lying on the ground, suddenly got up and interrupted Xiang Hao.
When Gu Chen first entered the private room, his ruthless and murderous manner terrified him. Knowing that the situation was beyond repair, Brother Ba pretended to be dead.
However, now that he saw a glimmer of hope, and that Xiang Shao actually had such a powerful expert by his side who could defeat that freak with a single palm strike from a distance, he quickly jumped out to express his opinion.
Xiang Hao said calmly, "Where are the people I asked you to bring?"
"This kid blocked my way... I didn't bring the person with me..." Brother Ba stammered.
"Waste!"
Xiang Hao stared at Brother Ba, his eyes already filled with murderous intent.
Xiang Hao never shows mercy to useless people, even if they were his former confidants!
Noticing the fierce look in Xiang Hao's eyes, Brother Ba was terrified and hurriedly said, "Young Master Xiang, I'll have someone bring those two people over right now."
"No need, bring that kid over first."
Xiang Hao said calmly.
"Yes."
Brother Ba limped towards Gu Chen on the ground, a cruel glint in his eyes. He said, "Damn bastard, you dare to mess with Young Master Xiang? I'll cripple you right now!"
After saying that, he raised his right leg and stomped on Gu Chen's head!
However, the next moment, he couldn't put his foot down, because Gu Chen suddenly raised his head, and a chill like a polar wind burst forth from his body, instantly engulfing his body and mind.
At the same time, his ankle was firmly gripped by Gu Chen's outstretched hand, like a strong vise, making it difficult for him to move!
"You... you..."
Brother Ba was utterly incredulous. Gu Chen, who had seemed to have fainted just moments before, had actually gotten up so quickly!
"What do you mean, 'what about me'?" Gu Chen raised his head, looking coldly at Brother Ba, and said, "Are you going to cripple me?"
Brother Ba opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word. The fear in his heart crawled over his entire being like insects.
"Bang!"
Gu Chen grabbed Brother Ba's remaining leg with one hand, then swung him violently, sending him flying several meters before he crashed into the door of the private room. Brother Ba screamed in pain, feeling as if the bones in his waist were about to break from the fall.
Immediately afterward, Gu Chen stood up, looked at Xiang Hao, and said calmly, "You just said you wanted me to suffer a fate worse than death?"
Boom!
Under Gu Chen's gaze, Xiang Hao felt as if his mind was about to explode, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
"You bastard!" Zhao Pengfei suddenly spoke, Xiang Hao awake.
He stared at Gu Chen and said arrogantly, "Boy, didn't that slap teach you a lesson?"
Having previously sent Gu Chen flying with a single palm strike, Zhao Pengfei was brimming with confidence, so even after Gu Chen got up, he remained completely unsuspecting. At this moment, he slightly raised his chin, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "Still dare to spout such nonsense!?"
