Gu Chen's reckless driving startled everyone around him.
The Liu Family warriors had no choice but to make way!
Gu Chen's car veered into the center of the road and came to a steady stop just as Zhao Haiqing was about to dodge.
"Boss Zhao, are you alright?"
Gu Chen got out of the car and asked Zhao Haiqing, who was covered in injuries.
Upon seeing Gu Chen, Zhao Haiqing Haiqing's tense emotions finally relaxed, and he grinned, saying with a rather assertive tone, "It's nothing."
But Gu Chen noticed that there was a deep scratch on his upper arm, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp weapon. There were also various other wounds and cuts on other parts of his body, with blood oozing out. Coupled with his disheveled hair, he looked like a soldier who had fought a bloody battle.
Leave this to me.
Gu Chen said calmly, "Since I accepted your gift, I will definitely help you solve this problem. I mean what I say!"
"Their strength is formidable!" Zhao Haiqing's eyes trembled as he said, "They are all martial artists from the Liu Family of Shangjing, especially that white-haired old man. We can't handle them with firearms!"
Firearms, like pistols.
To be unafraid of a pistol, one must at least be in the mid-to-late stage of the Bone-Forge Realm.
Gu Chen glanced at the old man and said calmly to Zhao Haiqing, "It's alright."
"What a fine 'It's alright'!"
The white-haired old man was still furious after Gu Chen drove his car into the area. Upon hearing this, he sneered and said, "Boy, who are you? I don't kill nameless nobodies!"
Gu Chen didn't speak, but suddenly waved his hand.
Whoosh!
A burst of energy shot out from his hand and struck the wrist of the martial artist who had been holding the flashlight.
Ah!!
All that was heard was a scream from the man, his arm severed by Gu Chen's force! Blood gushed out like a jet of water, and the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground.
Gu Chen said calmly, "This is a small punishment!"
"You!" The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes, both angry and furious!
Because just a moment ago, when Gu Chen made his move, he didn't even see how the latter did it!
"Kid, who exactly are you?"
The white-haired old man said coldly, "If you want to get involved in this mess, you'd better be prepared to have your entire family wiped out!"
"I know what you're after, but that thing is already in my hands," Gu Chen said calmly. "Boss Zhao loyal enough not to have revealed my identity yet, but I can't bear to see him get hurt, so I have no choice but to use you as my scapegoats!"
"What an arrogant and ignorant brat!"
The white-haired old man laughed angrily!
More than arrogant, Gu Chen's words were arrogant, and this arrogance was even written on his face. There was not a trace of fear in his expression!
Moreover, his arrogant demeanor made it seem as if those standing before him were not a dozen or so martial artists, but a dozen or so ants!
The martial artists from the Liu Family present were all filled with anger. Their Liu Family was a famous clan in the Shangjing, with a sect involved. They had always been the ones threatening others in this tone, and today they were being threatened by a mere youth. They all found it utterly ridiculous.
After laughing, the white-haired old man's face turned sinister as he stared at Gu Chen and said, "Boy, let me warn you, boasting in front of me will have consequences worse than death! I'll give you a chance. Tell me your name and your sect!"
Gu Chen glanced at them and said indifferently, "Dead people have no right to know."
"You brat!" The white-haired elder gritted his teeth and said in a sinister tone, "If you don't hand over the Jade Guanyin, you'll die by my hand."
"I thought I'd put on a good show, but I didn't expect you old codger to have some substance." Gu Chen smiled disdainfully and said, "How about this, kowtow to me now, and I might consider giving you a proper burial."
The white-haired old man's face darkened, and he said, "Boy, you've gone too far! Tell him who I am!"
A martial artist stepped forward, swaggering, and said, "Boy, listen carefully! This is Liu Kuan, the Third Elder of our Liu Family, a master of the Mid-stage Bone Forging Realm! It's too late for you to kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Liu Kuan slightly raised his chin, his posture arrogant and haughty.
But then his expression darkened. Because Gu Chen, upon hearing that name, showed absolutely no reaction, not even the slightest ripple of emotion on his face!
"Haven't you heard of my illustrious reputation?" Liu Kuan asked incredulously.
Gu Chen said, "Why should I need to have heard your name?"
As one of the top martial artists in the Shangjing, Gu Chen's words made Liu Kuan feel as if he had been greatly insulted!
"Capture him." Liu Kuan's face fell. Without wasting words with Gu Chen, he ordered, "Live him."
As soon as he finished speaking, three people rushed out and charged towards Gu Chen.
"Boy, prepare to die!"
Gu Chen remained motionless at first, but just as the three were about to reach him, he suddenly took a step forward.
Boom!
An astonishing aura, like a boulder crashing into a lake, instantly created ripples! These ripples spread out invisibly, directly impacting the three charging figures!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three thuds echoed in succession. The three Liu Family martial artists hadn't even gotten within five meters of Gu Chen before they were knocked to the ground by the ripples of this aura!
Moreover, they felt as if their bones were about to fall apart, and they were lying on the ground unable to move.
"Hmm?" Liu Kuan's expression changed, and he looked at Gu Chen, saying, "You're also Bone-Forge Realm martial artist?"
"Bone-Forge Realm?" Gu Chen scoffed, "Remember this: the person who killed you is named Gu Chen."
"Gu Chen?" Liu Kuan had initially thought Gu Chen was an elite from some sect, but after racking his brains, he couldn't recall him at all. He then revealed a sinister smile and said, "I was initially wary of you being some sect genius, but it seems that's not the case. So, you've chosen your own death, and you can't blame anyone else!"
As he spoke, his body also unleashed an aura, a powerful force surging forth like a relentless tide, clashing with Gu Chen's aura and gradually overshadowing Gu Chen!
"I've only recently broken through to the Late Bone-Forge Realm, and even my subordinates don't know my strength. I'm just worried about having no one to practice on. Since you've come looking for death, then use your blood as a sacrifice for me!" As he spoke, Liu Kuan laughed loudly, then his eyes suddenly turned icy cold, and he roared, "Die!"
As he spoke, he swung his palm and struck hard at Gu Chen's face!
Storm Palm!
This is one of the Liu Family's signature martial arts techniques!
Puff puff puff--
Accompanied by a swirling black mist, Liu Kuan's arm was shrouded in the mist and could no longer be clearly seen, its power extremely terrifying.
This palm strike was extremely powerful. Combined with Liu Kuan's Mid-stage Bone Forging Realm cultivation, the resulting aura caused the Liu Family behind him to hold their breath, as if the space itself was trembling!
When this move appeared, the Liu Family warriors felt there was no suspense left, and even thought that Elder Liu was making a mountain out of a molehill. Faced with this palm strike, the boy was bound to die!
Even Liu Kuan thought so!
