Aaaaaah!
Gu Changfeng's screams echoed throughout the surroundings. Seeing this shocking scene, no one expected that Gu Chen's actions and reactions would be so fast!
The moment Gu Changfeng showed signs of suicide, he made his move!
Not only fast, but also ruthless!
In an instant, Gu Changfeng's arm was severed, the cut clean!
Then, Gu Chen's Gu Chen voice resounded all around, and almost everyone felt the strong domineering and tyrannical nature in his voice.
In other words, Gu Changfeng's life is now in Gu Chen's hands; even if he wanted to die, it would be impossible for him!
"You, you are so cruel!"
Gu Changfeng raised his head, looked at Gu Chen, coughing up blood, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
"Speak!" Gu Chen didn't give him a chance to waste words, coldly saying, "If you don't speak, I'll cripple your other arm; if you still don't speak, you still have two legs!"
"You!" Gu Changfeng's body trembled uncontrollably.
At that moment, he sensed a deep terror in the boy's expressionless face.
hiss--
Not only him, but even Ye Fei and the others felt horrified and terrified. Gu Chen's methods were simply too cruel.
Gu Changfeng opened his mouth, but just as he was about to utter some insults, whoosh!
Gu Chen unleashed another sword strike, the flying sword hurtling forward like a ghost, slicing off Gu Changfeng's other arm. In an instant, both of Gu Changfeng's arms were severed by Gu Chen, and he slid down from the roof to the ground!
Aaaaaah!
Gu Changfeng's screams echoed throughout the space.
Even Jiang Huamei and the others couldn't bear to look at Gu Changfeng's miserable state, but Gu Chen remained cold-faced and even slowly walked over. At this moment, no one in the Gu Family family dared to stop him...
"Fiftyth birthday..."
After Gu Chen approached Gu Changfeng, he looked up at the "longevity" character placed at the entrance of the main hall, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. Then, he stretched out his palm, sucked hard, and grabbed the banner in his hand.
In less than five seconds, the banner in his hand had turned to dust.
"Your birthday has become your death anniversary, Gu Changfeng. You probably never dreamed this would happen, did you?" Gu Chen looked at him coldly and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Tell me how my grandfather died!"
Gu Changfeng gave a bitter laugh while glaring venomously at Gu Chen, saying, "You think you can make me admit to something I didn't do? You're delusional! Everyone in the Gu Family, including you and your father, knows how the old man died!"
"Heh, died from a chronic illness, a fatal disease!" Gu Chen said, "Are you taking advantage of my youth and ignorance? The old man did have old injuries, but they were certainly not fatal! You're using the same methods you used on my father on my grandfather because you know he supported my father, and the allocation of family resources was my grandfather's idea, which is why you harbor resentment!"
"Hahaha!" Gu Changfeng laughed loudly, "How could I not know about these things? These are just your baseless guesses! Gu Chen, you and your father are both wolves in sheep's clothing, and now you even dare to come to the Gu Family and threaten to wipe them out. I have reason to suspect that the old man's death is related to you!"
"Very good."
Gu Chen nodded, seemingly having already guessed that Gu Changfeng wouldn't admit it, and looked at Gu Kang beside him.
As the Gu Family's butler, he had served his grandfather for many years, but eventually defected to Gu Changfeng. He was the one who deserved the most credit for poisoning his own father, causing his meridians to be completely destroyed.
Noticing Gu Chen's gaze, Gu Kang subconsciously shrank his neck.
He had already experienced Gu Chen's cruelty firsthand. Although this person was in the guise of a young man, his behavior was like that of an old monster. He preferred to face Gu Beichi rather than Gu Chen.
At least Gu Beichi would remember the past, but Gu Chen is reckless and unscrupulous!
"Steward Gu, it's been a long time." Gu Chen reached out and inhaled, and Gu Kang felt his body slip out of his control, being pulled directly to his feet by Gu Chen's Qi Control Technique.
Raising his head, Gu Kang trembled. Under Gu Chen's powerful aura, he felt as if he didn't belong to himself, his heart pounding as if it would leap out of his body.
"I still remember how you treated my son and me back then," Gu Chen said. "But now, do you want to make amends?"
Don't listen to him!
Despite the excruciating pain, Gu Changfeng roared, "He's trying to bewitch you!"
"Shut up!" Gu Chen stomped on Gu Changfeng's face. This time, Gu Changfeng couldn't keep quiet even if he wanted to, because the foot on his face made him unable to make a sound.
"Will you talk or not?" Gu Chen looked at Gu Kang, his eyes icy, and said, "My patience has its limits. If you don't confess in one minute, you'll be Gu Chen enemy. You know how I treat my enemies."
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Gu Kang asked in a trembling voice.
"Letting you go is impossible, but your fate will be better than Gu Changfeng's," Gu Chen said calmly. "Thirty seconds left."
Time ticked by, and Gu Kang was drenched in cold sweat. The struggle on his face suggested he was enduring the greatest torment and pain in his heart.
Ten seconds left.
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
Finally, with only three seconds left in the countdown, Gu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll talk!"
"You bastard... ugh..."
Gu Changfeng hadn't finished speaking when Gu Chen stepped on his foot again.
Gu Kang lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Chen or Gu Changfeng, and began to recount a long-buried story.
Back then, the Gu Family had two legitimate sons.
The eldest son Gu Changfeng, and the second son Gu Beichi.
Gu Beichi is eight years younger than Gu Changfeng. Although he is the second son, he is more talented and less cunning than Gu Changfeng, so he has always been loved by the older generation in the family.
Although Gu Changfeng had painstakingly managed everything, he was naturally resentful and consumed by jealousy as he watched Gu Beichi grow up and receive all the family's resources without having to do anything.
In fact, according to the family's plan, Gu Changfeng has always been the first choice for the position of family head, because cultivation level does not represent anything. Even if Gu Beichi has high talent and can gradually rise to the level of Grandmaster, it is just a trump card for the Gu Family.
Gu Beichi is a martial arts fanatic, but he is not good at interpersonal relationships and is not smooth enough. Therefore, according to the old man's plan, he wanted Gu Beichi to be in the Gu Family of the Gu family, while Gu Changfeng would act as the head of the family and handle external affairs.
The two brothers supported each other and worked together to expand the Gu Family.
However, as Gu Beichi's cultivation level increased, Gu Changfeng gradually lost faith in the family's promises. Coupled with his growing sense of crisis, and having become accustomed to power, he had no intention of watching Gu Beichi grow stronger and then handing over everything to him.
So, when Gu Beichi made his first breakthrough more than a decade ago, he found Gu Kang and made a move against Gu Beichi!
The reason for choosing that time was that Gu Changfeng knew that once Gu Beichi successfully broke through, he would be the youngest Grandmaster Realm artist in the family. With his strength at the Late Bone-Forge Realm at that time, he would have no chance to suppress Gu Beichi!
Therefore, he wanted to take precautions, even if that person was his own brother, and even if that person had absolutely no interest in the position of family head.
But that's the allure of power; it made the ambitious Gu Changfeng lose himself!
Under his persuasion, Gu Kang went from initially refusing to wavering, and then to compromising. Step by step, the two of them colluded and tampered with Gu Beichi's breakthrough in the secret room!
