"You dare to lay a hand on me?" Qian Shuoming said coldly.
"Screw your words!" Gu Chen was so angry at Qian Shuoming that he laughed out loud. He cursed and charged towards Qian Shuoming in an instant!
Gu Chen's right fist gleamed with a faint blue light, as if his Inner Breath was fully gathered, brimming with terrifying explosive power. Qian Shuoming initially remained calm, but when Gu Chen's fist struck him, he realized something was wrong.
But unfortunately, it was too late!
Boom!
A sound like a bomb exploding rang out as Gu Chen's punch dented Qian Shuoming's body, shattered his sternum, and tore his clothes apart! His body flew more than thirty meters away, crashing directly into the top of the warehouse!
Gu Chen did not stop. He pushed off with both feet, soared into the air, grabbed Qian Shuoming who was still falling, and dragged him down, slamming him hard onto the ground!
A huge crater, five or six inches in size, instantly appeared in the ground, clearly reflecting the outline of Qian Shuoming's body!
puff--
Qian Shuoming couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, then a second, then a third, in quick succession!
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The Qian Family guards hadn't expected Gu Chen to strike so swiftly and ruthlessly! And Qian Shuoming, whom they held in high esteem and who had reached the Late Bone-Forge Realm, had been brought down so easily!
Clean and efficient!
"Don't move! Anyone who moves, I'll kill them!"
Gu Chen's cold and ruthless voice echoed in the warehouse. The martial artists who had originally intended to launch a sneak attack suddenly felt a chill, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their hands and feet turning icy cold.
With Gu Chen's murderous words, no one dared to move!
Gu Chen lifted Qian Shuoming's head and asked, "Where's Su Qingqing?"
"You brat... you're dead meat, I'm going to kill you..."
Qian Shuoming couldn't utter a complete sentence; his mouth and nose were full of blood, but his eyes were fierce as he stared intently at Gu Chen, mumbling incoherently.
Seeing that he still dared to threaten him even in this state, Gu Chen hardened his heart, grabbed him by the neck, and said, "Qian Shuoming, Young Master Qian, my patience is limited. If you really want to die, then I don't mind sending you on your way now. Rest assured, neither your Qian Family in the Shangjing nor the Qian Family in Land of Heaven and Earth can avenge you! And if anything happens to Su Qingqing, I will make your entire Qian Family in Land of Heaven and Earth pay with their lives!"
Qian Shuoming was jolted, his eyes filled with terror.
Gu Chen actually knew about the Qian Family in the Land of Heaven and Earth, and not only did he know, he even dared to say such a thing! From Gu Chen's eyes, Qian Shuoming suddenly realized that this guy was serious, every word he said was serious, and he wasn't bragging!
"I... I know where it is..."
A member of the Qian Family martial arts family standing nearby spoke in a trembling voice. Noticing Gu Chen's gaze, he instinctively took a step back, then mustered his courage and said, "You, you release our young master first."
"You have no right to bargain with me," Gu Chen said coldly. "And if anything happens to Zhao Haiqing, you will all be executed along with him!"
Everyone was startled. The man who had spoken earlier immediately went to the second floor of the warehouse, while the other two, under Gu Chen's fierce gaze, trembled as they walked to the edge of the pool and helped Zhao Haiqing up.
"He... he's still breathing."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression turned even colder. After kicking the guy away, he threw Qian Shuoming's body into the pool and then hugged Zhao Haiqing in his arms.
Gu Chen took out a pill and gave it to Zhao Haiqing to swallow, then channeled his inner True Qi into him. A dozen seconds later, Zhao Haiqing finally woke up. Gu Chen looked at him, his face full of apology, and said, "Boss Zhao, I'm late. I'm sorry you suffered."
"Back then, I was a warrior, my spirit soaring like a tiger across the land... But now... Brother Gu, you asked me to hold onto my position in Zhou City, and I failed. Black Wind Hall has been destroyed..." Zhao Haiqing was extremely emotional, a bitter smile on his face. Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side and he closed his eyes.
Gu Chen was shocked. He checked Zhao Haiqing's pulse and, finding that he had only fainted, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But Gu Chen knew that if he had arrived any later, he might not have been able to save Zhao Haiqing!
Seeing Zhao Haiqing's appearance, it was impossible to tell what inhuman treatment he had suffered. At this moment, Gu Chen was so angry that he trembled all over, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot. His anger was no longer under his control!
"Brother, you entrusted your daughter to me. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry!"
Gu Chen gently placed Zhao Haiqing on the sofa, then turned his head, unleashing a suffocatingly insane killing intent!
They all deserve to die!
Bang bang bang bang!
Gu Chen's body vanished from the spot in an instant, transforming into several black shadows like a ghost. Immediately afterwards, countless tremors resounded in the space. The remaining dozen or so people were all sent flying by Gu Chen and fell to the ground, clearly not long to live!
At that moment, a commotion came from the second floor of the warehouse. The Qian Family martial artist who had spoken earlier was seen pushing a hospital bed up the stairs. He was so frightened by what he saw that he trembled with fear. In his immense terror, he slipped, and the hospital bed rolled down the stairs!
The hospital bed rolled off, and lying on it was none other than Su Qingqing!
Gu Chen turned his head and saw this scene, and his anger flared up instantly. He roared, and his True Qi erupted like a surging torrent, causing a visible spatial fold to appear in the void!
Then, the hospital bed seemed to be lifted up by an invisible giant hand, rolled down several steps, and suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air!
The Qian Family warriors on the steps stared in disbelief at the scene before them!
What is this? Telekinesis? Flight?
Is this something that martial arts can do?
Gu Chen's current cultivation level is sufficient to control a flying sword, but controlling such a large hospital bed, especially one without any true essence talismans, is extremely difficult. As a result, cold sweat broke out on his forehead in just a short while, the True Qi in his dantian began to drain away rapidly, and his face turned pale.
Fortunately, Gu Chen had managed to keep the hospital bed under control and prevented it from falling to the ground. He finally gently placed it on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Chen stepped forward and looked at Su Qingqing on the hospital bed. Her beautiful face was completely calm, and next to her was an IV drip bottle, indicating that she was still receiving treatment but had not yet woken up. Her right wrist was wrapped in a white cloth, which Gu Chen gently unwrapped to reveal the scars of a wound near an artery.
Instantly, Gu Chen's eyes turned bloodshot, and his gaze became heavy and intense.
Su Zhenbei, that beast! His daughter is in such a state, yet he still pushes her away! Su Qingqing even resisted with her life and chose suicide, but Su Zhenbei is still so heartless! He not only doesn't care about his daughter's wishes or her life or death, but also, because of his own wolfish ambitions and fear of any unforeseen events, he can't wait to send Su Qingqing to the Qian Family!
That's incredibly cold-blooded!
Gu Chen looked up at the Qian Family martial artist on the steps, then waved his hand heavily. With a snap, the Qian Family martial artist instantly died, dead beyond any doubt.
