Su Yi laughed maniacally, as if he had gone mad. "You still won't get my sister even if you kill me, hahaha, Gu Chen, just kill me! I'm a cripple now anyway, just kill me!"
Gu Chen really wanted to smash Su Yi's head with a punch. These guys were clearly the ones being heartless and unjust, yet they could still act so self-righteous. Suppressing his anger, Gu Chen said, "You won't talk, huh? Now you want to play the hero? Fine, I have a thousand ways to make you talk, and ways to make you wish you were dead!"
Su Yi was a little scared and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Chen smiled coldly, and then he raised his foot and stepped directly on Su Yi's broken foot!
Ahhhhh--
A heart-wrenching scream rang out, Su Yi's voice was almost hoarse, he roared with all his might, extremely miserable! And where Gu Chen stepped on the broken leg, blood gushed out like a spring, the scene was terrifying!
This is Gu Chen's ruthless side! He will show no mercy to people like this!
Seeing that Su Yi had fainted, Gu Chen grabbed his hair again, lifted his chin, and fed him a pill. He didn't care about the cost of the Death-Departure Pill anymore. Then, he placed his palm on Su Yi's back and channeled his True Essence Power into him, allowing the medicine to dissolve within his body.
Su Yi quickly woke up. The intense physical pain and the humiliation in his heart made him want to faint again, but as the effects of the drug wore off, he couldn't even pass out now!
"You... you..."
Su Yi's face was contorted in pain as he looked at Gu Chen, tears and blood streaming down his face!
"Are you still not going to tell us now?"
Gu Chen's eyes were icy as he looked at Su Yi, who had just woken up, his voice filled with cruelty!
Su Yi now fully understood Gu Chen's ruthlessness and terror. He knew that the food Gu Chen gave him would keep him conscious and then torture him little by little!
And this torture will definitely be more severe each time!
"Su Qingqing... Su Qingqing is in their hands..."
Su Yi trembled, finally lowered his head, and gave in.
The "they" he was referring to were Qian Tao and Qian Jiang. Gu Chen shoved Su Yi to the ground, then stepped on his face and walked over, seemingly ignoring Su Yi's screams.
"Where is Su Qingqing?" Gu Chen stared at the two of them.
These two were severely injured by Gu Chen's two slaps. They were martial artists in the Late Bone-Forge Realm, and they still couldn't believe that they could be injured like this by a martial artist from the mortal world!
It's hung on the wall, making it difficult to even move!
"You... do you know who we are?" Qian Tao asked, his voice stern but his tone betraying his inner weakness.
They had seen clearly what Gu Chen had done to the Su Family father and son, and they knew perfectly well that part of the reason Gu Chen's methods were so cruel and domineering was to show them!
This person possesses both strength and character; he is terrifying!
If he had known this person was so powerful, he would never have brought only Qian Jiang with him! This would have been utterly humiliating, akin to suicide!
However, Qian Tao still held onto a sliver of hope. Although he was not as strong as Gu Chen, he still had influence and connections! He came from the Qian Family in the Shangjing, and behind him was an ancient martial arts family from the Land of Heaven and Earth!
"Who are you people?" Gu Chen said calmly, "Aren't you from the Qian Family?"
Qian Tao coughed up blood. "Cough, of course we're from the Qian Family, but do you know our Qian Family's background?!"
Gu Chen asked, "What are your backgrounds?"
"Hehehe..." Qian Tao chuckled deliberately, saying, "You also cultivate martial arts, so you should know about ancient martial arts families! Our Qian Family comes from an ancient martial arts family, and we are an ancient martial arts family from the Land of Heaven and Earth!"
Hehe!
He wasn't even afraid of the Zhuge Family, so why would he be afraid of a Qian Family?!
"Oh?" Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "So what?"
So what?
Qian Tao's face stiffened, seemingly caught off guard by Gu Chen's calm reaction. He took a deep breath and said, "I am the third young master of the Qian Family. If you dare to touch me, you're dead!"
After Qian Tao finished speaking, he still couldn't see the slightest change on Gu Chen's face; it remained as calm as a still well.
His threats seemed to have no effect whatsoever!
Qian Tao's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Do you know what I'm saying to you? We are the Qian Family, a family of ancient martial arts! You're just a discarded son of the Gu Family, you can't afford to offend us, do you understand?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen suddenly laughed, a laugh that was utterly shocking to Qian Tao.
"You're courting death!" Qian Tao, his mind filled with fear, roared, "You'll regret this! The Qian Family will not let you get away with this! You're doomed!"
"What I hate most is threats." Gu Chen kicked Qian Tao off the wall, then stepped on his chest, looking down at him and said, "Tell me, what exactly has your Qian Family done since they arrived? And what happened to Su Qingqing? After you tell me, you can die."
"You dare kill me?" Qian Tao's eyes widened, his whole body trembling. He had already made his intentions so clear, how come this kid wasn't afraid at all? Did he not know? But from Gu Chen's eyes, he understood that Gu Chen knew about the ancient martial arts families and knew about the Land of Heaven and Earth!
But damn it, why does he still dare to be so arrogant!
"Hiss--"
A sudden stop was heard, and another car sped into the courtyard. Zhuge Kun got out of it.
"Mr. Zhuge Family!"
Unexpectedly, Qian Tao knew Zhuge Kun, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise! As the former representative of the Zhuge Aristocratic Family in the secular world, Zhuge Kun could meet with him on many occasions in the Shangjing. As the representative of the Six Great Families, these ordinary families had tried to curry favor with him, and Qian Tao was one of them!
Upon seeing Zhuge Kun, Qian Tao reacted as if he had seen a savior. Ignoring how he ended up there, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Save me! Mr. Zhuge Family, save me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Chen's foot pressed down harder, almost breaking his ribs. Blood gushed from his mouth as he glared at Gu Chen with venomous hatred, shouting between vomiting blood, "You... you're dead! This is the Zhuge Family, one of the Six Great Families! Do you know that? You're finished!"
"Is that so?" Gu Chen asked with a half-smile.
Zhuge Kun certainly heard Qian Tao's shout. He glanced at Qian Tao first, then rushed through the hole created by the sports car and walked towards Gu Chen.
Qian Tao's eyes were full of hope. Just when he thought Zhuge Kun was about to make a move against Gu Chen, what happened next made him turn pale with horror!
Zhuge Kun then bowed deeply to Gu Chen at a ninety-degree angle!
Then, he called out, "Young Master Gu!"
Qian Tao's mouth dropped open; the enormous difference made his chest tremble violently!
How could someone from the prestigious Zhuge Family call a brat "Young Master Gu"? Such respectful attitude was something he had never heard of before!
Gu Chen nodded at him, then frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I looked up the Su Family's address and came here," Zhuge Kun said. "Young Master Gu, I was worried something might happen."
"What could possibly happen?" Gu Chen said calmly. "Those who disobey should be suppressed. That's what I did when I killed Jiang Yi, Yue Mingke, and Ning Yufeng. If you want to shit on my head, you'd better be prepared to get a beating."
"Yes, yes." Zhuge Kun quickly dared not say anything more.
Upon hearing their conversation, Qian Tao was completely petrified, especially when he heard the name Ning Yufeng; he was utterly shocked!
Although Ning Yufeng is from the Wuji Manor in the mortal world, he is a powerful figure on the Dragon Ranking!
It is said that Wuji Manor did indeed gather its forces in Zhou City a few days ago, but unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat, and Ning Yufeng also died in Zhou City!
Furthermore, Jiang Yi and Yue Mingke of the Steel Tremor Sect were both renowned figures who died in Zhou City. Therefore, even if they weren't after Shennong Grass, they had made all the necessary preparations before coming here.
If they encounter that Madman, they will definitely have to avoid him!
But he never expected that the person who did all of that was right in front of him!
The guy who dared to kill Ning Yufeng and Yue Mingke was actually the abandoned son of the Gu Family whom he had looked down upon! At this moment, he was finally afraid, and he finally realized how ridiculous his threats had been!
With this kid's temper, he dares to offend so many powerful forces at the slightest provocation, and none of the martial artists from the Qian Family who came this time are at the Revolving Illumination Realm, so naturally they are not taken seriously by him!
Even someone like Zhuge Kun listened to his every word!
Clearly, Gu Chen's background was far more powerful than he could have imagined!
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm innocent! I was bewitched!" Overwhelmed by terror, Qian Tao suddenly snapped out of his daze, then collapsed to the ground, clinging tightly to Gu Chen's legs, weeping bitterly. "It was that shameless bastard Su Zhenbei from the Su Family who insisted on using our past relationship to make a deal with our Qian Family! This really has nothing to do with me! If we had known it was Big Brother Gu —no, Grandpa Gu —we would never have dared to do this, even if we had a thousand lives!"
He finally realized that Gu Chen's words just now were not just said in anger, but that he really meant to kill him! Now, under the threat of death, Qian Tao didn't care about anything else. He didn't want to die; he wanted to live!
Holding onto Gu Chen's legs wasn't enough for him, so he let go and started kowtowing repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with crisp, clear sounds.
In his immense fear, desperate to survive, he even called out to Grandpa Gu.
Gu Chen gave him a disgusted look, then kicked him away, saying, "Tell me what happened first."
"Okay, Grandpa Gu." Qian Tao was kicked away, but even though he was dizzy from the impact, he quickly got up, forced a smile, and nodded repeatedly.
From his words, Gu Chen finally learned what had happened to Su Qingqing.
It turns out that after Gu Chen left, Su Zhenbei, still harboring ulterior motives, went to the Qian Family to curry favor and sold his daughter, Su Qingqing. Qian Shuoming, the Qian Family's representative in Shangjing, was also a lecherous man and had his eye on Su Qingqing as well. When he heard that Su Zhenbei only wanted his family to become the number one in Zhou City and to deal with a nobody he had never even heard of, he agreed without hesitation.
After all, the matter of Shennong Grass has come to an end. Zhou City is just a third-rate city, and the forces currently vying for power are negligible. Furthermore, with the situation calmed down, the Qian Family's power is now unparalleled, and they are not afraid of others getting involved.
With over twenty people mobilized and led by Qian Tao, they dealt with the Black Wind Hall and the Fierce Tiger Society in just a few days. He felt increasingly relaxed and therefore paid even less attention to Gu Chen.
But unexpectedly, something changed later. After learning about the incident, Su Qingqing was filled with despair and could not find Gu Chen. In order to rebel against her father, she chose to commit suicide by cutting her wrists!
