Thump!
The burly man landed, and a loud crash echoed from the second floor.
The surroundings fell completely silent!
Everyone looked up, staring blankly at Gu Chen, completely oblivious to how he kicked the man, who had fallen to the ground!
Of all those present, only the young man's eyes flashed with a strange light.
No wonder he dared to step forward; he's got some skills.
Wen Tao quickly regained his senses, his face darkening, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You will pay the price for this!"
Gu Chen said, "The world has really changed now. Brother Tao, you dare to act recklessly with such a piece of trash as yourself."
"You're asking for death!" Wen Tao's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
In an instant, several more henchmen rushed forward, but then, Gu Chen took a step forward. No one saw how he moved; he seemed to appear out of thin air as a shadow. The three thugs felt as if a gust of wind had blown past them, and the next moment, Gu Chen appeared in front of them!
The three were startled and were about to retaliate, but Gu Chen moved even faster!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three muffled thuds echoed through the space; without exception, the three people were struck directly by the fists and sent flying!
"You..."
Wen Tao was shocked to find Gu Chen so capable.
Just then, the young man stepped forward. His aura was particularly gloomy as he coldly stared at Gu Chen, a chilling smile playing on his thin lips. He said, "I didn't expect to see a martial artist like you in a small place like Zhou City. To reach the Late-stage Initiation Realm at such a young age is indeed impressive. No wonder you dared to step forward so rashly."
Gu Chen's moves just now did not reveal his true strength.
The young man only sensed the fluctuations in Gu Chen's movements, and thus determined his cultivation level.
Now, the young man's smile widened, and he said, "But unfortunately for you, you've met me. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, you might still have a chance to live."
No wonder he was so confident, because his strength was at the Perfection-stage Initiation Realm, which was no less than Gu Chen's!
Moreover, given his age and combat experience, he would never take a mere teenager seriously. His words were extremely impolite, causing Gu Chen to shake his head.
"Sorry, but in my eyes, you're no different from those other losers."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, he flashed in front of the young man and punched him in the face!
The young man grunted and sneered, "Overestimating yourself!"
His expression was calm as he casually stretched out one hand, intending to block Gu Chen's fist!
But soon, the expression on his face froze instantly, and then turned into an extremely painful look!
How can someone be so strong!
The young man was horrified, and then the enormous impact left him unable to react, causing him to stumble back several steps.
A fierce glint flashed in the young man's eyes. He endured the pain in his arm and steadied himself.
"It seems I underestimated you, but you'll pay the price soon!"
The young man gritted his teeth, feeling immense humiliation at being punched back by Gu Chen in front of everyone.
Most importantly, he just made some boastful remarks.
With that, he charged towards Gu Chen!
Gu Chen shook his head, and with perfect timing, grabbed the young man's arm with one hand.
"How could this be?!" The young man had used all his strength in that palm strike, and he simply couldn't believe that Gu Chen had caught him so easily!
"Let me tell you, if you don't have the ability, don't pretend!"
With Gu Chen's words—
Click!
A chilling cracking sound rang out, followed by the young man's heart-wrenching screams!
Gu Chen actually broke his wrist in one go!
Overwhelmed by the pain, the young man could no longer stand. He clutched his arm, lay on the ground, and began to writhe in agony.
"Get lost!" Gu Chen kicked out, sending the man flying more than ten meters before crashing into the wooden railing on the second floor.
The next second, with a loud "thud," it crashed directly onto the first floor!
The onlookers were utterly horrified. This was something they'd only ever seen in movies, and it was happening right before their eyes! How much power would it take to kick someone like that?!
This kid is actually that good?
Even Wen Tao looked horrified.
This young man was his hired help; he was a highly skilled mercenary assassin!
Even the president of the Wen Family's Fierce Tiger Society spoke highly of this person; otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted Qi Ming's attention.
Not only him, but the members of the Fierce Tiger Society around him also gasped in shock. They all knew how powerful that young man was; even Qi Ming, who was known for his fierceness, had been knocked to the ground by him.
Even so, he couldn't even last a single move against Gu Chen!
The silly kid they all looked down on and mocked just now is actually this fierce?
"Want to come again?"
Gu Chen looked at them and said coldly.
"Kid, you're quite skilled!" Wen Tao's eyes flashed. He took a deep breath to calm himself and said coldly, "Unfortunately, in this world, skill alone isn't enough!"
Swish--
As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs around him reached into their waistbands and pulled out pistols in the next second!
A dozen or so pistols were pointed at Gu Chen in the center of the arena!
The murderous aura spread!
It's as thick as fresh blood!
"Gun! Gun!"
Some guests on the second floor were terrified when they saw the pistol appear. For many, it was probably the first time they had ever seen such a sight in their lives. Zhang Yun, who had been standing next to Gu Chen Gu Chen, felt the dark, menacing muzzle pressing down on her, and her face turned pale, and she struggled to breathe.
"Mr. Gu!"
The overwhelming killing intent made Qi Ming, who was on the ground, tense up and couldn't help but cry out.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."
"Nothing to worry about? You're just putting on airs!" Wen Tao snorted dismissively. "Looks like you really do know Qi Ming. One of those shots will turn you into a sieve, then you'll know whether you're really in trouble or not..."
However, Wen Tao's voice soon stopped, because he suddenly realized that even with so many guns pointed at him, Gu Chen did not show the slightest fear on his face!
As usual, utterly uneventful!
Is he really not afraid?
An absurd thought popped into Wen Tao's mind!
Just as Wen Tao was distracted, Gu Chen stepped forward and helped Qi Ming up, even brushing the dust off Qi Ming's clothes, and asked, "Brother Ming, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Qi Ming grinned and forced a smile at Gu Chen.
But this action made Wen Tao feel extremely humiliated. Was this kid ignoring his existence?!
Enraged, Wen Tao roared, "Shoot him! Kill this guy!"
