"Otherwise, I will turn Jinling City into a ghost town... A ghost town flowing with rivers of blood and piled high with a million corpses!"
"Hold on, you must hold on!!!"
Ye Chen was ice cold from head to toe, his entire body trembling. He was furious, and he was terrified...
The baleful aura within him could no longer be suppressed!
"Huff! Puff! Huff..."
With blood-red eyes and a voice like an Asura from the nethermost depths of hell, Ye Chen roared, "How much longer... How much longer until we reach Jinling?!"
"Master, we have already arrived in Jinling!"
Chen Junlin maintained his control over the speed, shouting, "We are already landing, Master... Little Junior Sister—Little Junior Sister will be fine, she will definitely be fine!!!"
Already arrived?!
Ye Chen's body stiffened as he abruptly glanced out the window.
At that moment, the aircraft was descending, hovering just a few hundred meters above the ground.
Parts of the buildings below were already clearly visible.
Chen Junlin said, "Master, in one minute we will land safely, please don't wor—"
Before Chen Junlin could finish, Ye Chen directly cut him off: "I can't wait! Open the cabin door!"
"Master, we're at a height of hundreds of meters..."
"Open the door!"
Ye Chen let out an explosive shout, and the baleful aura surged wildly from within his body. Instantly, every glass object inside the aircraft shattered with a succession of sharp cracks.
With Ye Chen at the center, everything around him was being frantically destroyed... If this continued, before they could even land safely, the entire plane would be torn apart mid-air by the baleful aura!!
With no other choice, Chen Junlin gritted his teeth and opened the cabin door.
Then, he witnessed a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life!
The moment the door opened, Ye Chen stepped right out into the void...
"Master!"
Appalled, Chen Junlin moved to stop him, but Ye Chen had already plunged down.
High up in the air at a height of hundreds of meters, Ye Chen dropped straight down into empty space.
"That's a hundred-meter drop..." Chen Junlin felt his scalp tingle.
At the same time, the dozens of disciples in the private jets closely following behind the aircraft also cried out in unison: "Master!!!"
The moment Ye Chen rushed out of the cabin, the thirty-six disciples had boarded their own private jets and followed closely all the way.
Along the journey here, they had already discovered the reason for Ye Chen's fury.
And they had contacted all their fellow apprentices!
They had all sworn to demand justice for their Master, Mistress, and Little Junior Sister...
Even though more than half of those fellow apprentices had already been blacklisted by Great Xia Country and warned never to set foot within its borders for the rest of their lives!!
They didn't care...
As long as they could secure justice for their Master, what did it matter if they had to make enemies of the entire world?!
Yet none of them expected that upon nearing their destination, their Master would leap straight out of the plane, plummeting directly from a height of a hundred meters!
"Master!"
"Master!"
Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Ye Chen cut through the hundreds of meters of open air like a meteorite, hitting the ground with a thunderous crash virtually without any cushion.
BOOM!!!
A deafening roar echoed, accompanied by a billowing cloud of dust and debris!
The Gu Family's bluestone-paved courtyard was smashed completely to pieces, and the entire villa trembled from the impact!
The windows in the courtyard were shattered straight into powder by the sheer force of the shockwave.
"What is going on?"
"Could it be an earthquake?"
"There's... there's a figure in the courtyard..."
Everyone inside the house was left with ringing ears from the massive explosion. Following the source of the sound, they saw a vague human figure looming amidst the dust!
The figure stood inside a massive crater, the cracks beneath his feet spreading like a dense spiderweb outward for dozens of meters, even fracturing the surrounding walls!!
"Is... is that a human or a ghost?!" someone blurted out in terror.
Before an answer could come, Ye Chen moved!
BOOM!!!
Another deafening blast rang out, and before anyone could react, a figure resembling an Asura from hell instantly charged into the house!
Ye Chen's eyes were streaming with blood and tears, the killing intent within him surging endlessly. With a flick of his hand, the bodies of seven or eight bodyguards inside the room exploded all at once, turning into clouds of bloody mist!
Then, his gaze locked firmly onto the remaining three bodyguards, and he demanded in a voice as cold as millennial ice: "My wife! My daughter! Where are they?!"
Chapter 4: Killing Intent
With a mere wave of his hand, he had blown seven or eight bodyguards into bloody mist.
Was this even something a human could do?
The remaining three bodyguards were instantly scared out of their wits by Ye Chen's methods, their mouths hanging wide open, their faces frozen in sheer terror!
They were too terrified to even know how to answer Ye Chen's question!
"Ah!! Ningning... You beasts, you'll all die a horrible death!"
At that moment, Xia Qingyue's heart-wrenching screams suddenly echoed from upstairs.
Boom!
Instantly, the baleful aura on Ye Chen surged once more. With a single punch, he blasted the three bodyguards before him to pieces, and then his body shot rapidly toward the second floor like an arrow released from a bow.
"Haha, so what if you're the number one goddess of Jinling... Xia Qingyue, from now on you'll just be a plaything beneath me, Gu Nanfei, hahaha!"
Exhilarated, Gu Nanfei ripped Xia Qingyue's clothes to shreds.
Rip!
In a split second, only a single piece of undergarment remained on Xia Qingyue's body. "You beasts... You said you'd let my daughter go! You said you'd let my daughter go!"
Xia Qingyue screamed miserably, collapsing to the point where she lost all strength to resist.
On the cold surgical table, Little Ningning's chest was covered in crimson blood. Just one final step remained, and her heart was about to be cut out.
"Ningning... Mommy is coming to keep you company!"
Crying out in despair, Xia Qingyue opened her mouth and bit down fiercely on Gu Nanfei's arm.
"Damn it, you stinking bitch!"
Gu Nanfei countered with the back of his hand, striking Xia Qingyue savagely across the face.
Yet Xia Qingyue didn't react at all. Seizing the opportunity, she lunged toward the edge of the surgical table, grabbed a sharp surgical scalpel, and drove it fiercely toward her own neck!
'Goodbye, this world!'
'Goodbye, Ye Chen!'
'Ningning, Mommy is coming to be with you!'
Slash!
The sharp scalpel sliced through skin, and a stream of crimson blood splashed several meters away.
Yet Xia Qingyue felt no pain whatsoever.
She tried to open her eyes and take a look.
She saw that Ye Chen was blocking the blade with his own arm...
This man had finally made it in time at the very last moment!
"Ye... Ye Chen..."
"You're finally back! You're finally back!"
"Why did you only come back now? Our daughter... Sob, sob, sob!"
Instantly, Xia Qingyue lost all her remaining strength, collapsing into Ye Chen's arms and weeping bitterly.
Ye Chen held Xia Qingyue tightly, then cast his gaze toward the surgical table... A little girl of about four years old was strapped down to it. The little girl's face was as pale as paper, and she had already passed out. A large gash had been cut into her chest, and her entire torso was covered in blood!
Looking closer at the little girl's facial features, her brows and expression bore a seventy-percent resemblance to Ye Chen's... Those features, that look—she was simply an adorable, miniature version of Ye Chen!
"My daughter!!"
In a split second, Ye Chen's eyes turned completely red.
The doctor attempted to continue the surgery, but was instantly frozen by the look in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Y-Y-You... What are you trying to do?"
Before the doctor could finish, Ye Chen grabbed him by the throat and gave it a vicious twist.
Snap!
With decisive and ruthless speed, before the doctor even had a chance to struggle, his neck was snapped clean by Ye Chen.
"Who are you? H-How did you get in... Where are the bodyguards, where are the bodyguards?!" Gu Nanfei was also startled out of his wits by Ye Chen's actions, his speech stuttering and broken.
"You! Deserve! To die!"
Ye Chen gritted out those words through clenched teeth, then hurled the doctor's corpse violently toward Gu Nanfei.
Bang!
Ye Chen's strength was immense, and Gu Nanfei had no way to dodge the attack. In an instant, he felt as though his body had been struck by a truck, several of his ribs snapping at once!
Only then did Ye Chen release Xia Qingyue and rush hurriedly to the cold surgical table, slicing through all the ropes.
"Daughter... My daughter!"
Looking at the unconscious little girl, Ye Chen felt as though his heart was bleeding.
He hurriedly retrieved a Peiyuan Pill from his tunic and popped it into the little girl's mouth, then said in a trembling voice, "Her heart hasn't been removed yet... Ningning has just lost too much blood. I can save her, I can definitely save her!"
The Peiyuan Pill melted the moment it touched her mouth. Not daring to hesitate for even a second, Ye Chen immediately began stitching up Little Ningning's wound.
Xia Qingyue's emotions had also stabilized somewhat. Hearing that her daughter still had a chance, she quickly clutched her torn clothes and stood beside the surgical table, waiting at attention for Ye Chen's instructions...
However, Ye Chen did not ask Xia Qingyue to help.
Instead, he focused intently on stitching his daughter's wound himself. In Ye Chen's hands, the suturing needle seemed like an extension of his own body—nimble, fluid, and exquisite.
In the span of a moment, Little Ningning's wound was sewn up, and the bleeding was stemmed.
"Daring to come to the Gu Family to make trouble, you're truly courting death!"
Gu Nanfei struggled to his feet, and as he reached for his phone to call for reinforcements, the door was pushed open once more.
Chen Junlin, dressed in full military attire, walked into the room first.
Close behind Chen Junlin followed the Master of Yama Hall, the God of Slaughter Nie Wuji...
And then... the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley, the Chairman of Tengli Group, an overlord from a foreign nation, the king of overseas mercenaries—one prominent and illustrious figure after another walked into the room!
"Who are you people?"
Gu Nanfei froze, suddenly overwhelmed by the sheer presence emanating from these individuals.
Although none of them spoke a single word, the aura they projected was beyond anything an ordinary person could compare to.
"You... Do you not know that my Gu Family is a top-tier family here in Jinling City?! You trespass into the Gu Family and injure my men, aren't you afraid of dying?!" Gu Nanfei attempted one last struggle.
"Noisy!!"
However, before he could finish, Nie Wuji moved!
As the Master of Yama Hall and the internationally renowned God of Slaughter, Nie Wuji's voice was as cold as millennial ice.
His voice carried no emotion whatsoever...
And the blade in his hand carried even less.
With a flash of Nie Wuji's figure, a gleaming short blade slashed across Gu Nanfei's wrists. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, and both of Gu Nanfei's hands were crippled in an instant.
"Ah..."
Gu Nanfei let out a shrill scream, but before the sound could fully escape, Nie Wuji delivered a ferocious punch.
Bang!
Gu Nanfei's nose was smashed out of alignment, and his teeth were knocked loose.
Before the blood and broken teeth could even spew from Gu Nanfei's mouth, Nie Wuji struck again!
Pinning Gu Nanfei's mouth shut with his hand, he enunciated every single word clearly: "If you dare make a single sound to disturb my Master treating my Little Junior Sister, I will slice the flesh off your body piece by piece and let you taste what it feels like to wish you were dead!"
"Gulp!"
Gu Nanfei was instantly paralyzed with fear, his terrified eyes locked onto Nie Wuji as cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He knew Nie Wuji was not joking.
'S-So cruel!! Is this guy human or a demon?!'
Gu Nanfei fell into instant despair... because he sensed that apart from Nie Wuji, the other thirty-odd people in the room were likely beings he could never afford to cross either!!
Chapter 5: Go to Hell
Though the bleeding had been stopped, Little Ningning remained unconscious due to massive blood loss.
"Master, Little Junior Sister has lost too much blood and urgently needs a transfusion..." said Hua Yuntian, the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley.
Hearing this, all the disciples in the room scrambled forward, vying with one another: "Let me do it, I will!"
"I have plenty of blood, let me do it!"
"No, let me... My blood is purer!"
Just as everyone was arguing among themselves, Xia Qingyue said tearfully, "M-My daughter has Panda blood, this blood type is very hard to find. Right now, we can only rush to a hospital and try our luck..."
Panda blood?
At these words, everyone furrowed their brows.
Common blood types would certainly be stocked in any hospital's inventory. But Panda blood was a matter of pure luck.
"I'll do it. I have Panda blood!"
While the rest were frowning, Ye Chen had already dragged the transfusion equipment to the bedside. "Hua Yuntian, you handle the operation!"
"Yes..." As the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley, a physician pursued by countless people, his hands actually trembled slightly upon receiving Ye Chen's command.
Half an hour later, as blood from Ye Chen's own body was piped drop by drop into Little Ningning, the little girl's complexion gradually lost its deathly pallor...
Yet Ye Chen's face grew increasingly pale, until within moments, not a single trace of color remained on it.
"Master, that's almost enough!" Hua Yuntian urged anxiously.
"It's not enough... These bastards drained over a thousand milliliters of blood from my daughter... And she is only this small!"
Suppressing the discomfort within his body, Ye Chen ordered, "Continue the transfusion! Do not stop!!"
"But your injuries..."
Hua Yuntian wanted to say more, but was cut off by a fierce glare from Ye Chen.
The other disciples burned with fiery rage, each wishing they could carve Gu Nanfei into a thousand pieces... Yet without Ye Chen's command, none of them dared to act rashly!
Ye Chen would not let this hypocritical beast die so easily!
"Who... Who on earth are you people?"
At that moment, Gu Nanfei was frightened so badly by the killing intent radiating from the crowd that he almost wet himself.
"Who are we?"
The God of Slaughter Nie Wuji gritted his teeth and said coldly, "We are the ones sending you to hell... You had better pray that my Little Junior Sister is alright, otherwise, I'll slaughter this entire city until not a soul remains!"
"Y-You people... You're madmen, absolute madmen!"
Gu Nanfei was completely unnerved, stammering, "Do you know who I am? I am the eldest young master of the Gu Family... My wife is the second young lady of the Jinling Lin Family. Surely you've heard of the Lin Family? In this city of Jinling City, the Lin Family covers the sky with one hand! Hmph, when my wife returns and sees how you've treated me, she'll tear you all to pieces. If you... if you know what's good for you, let me go right now!"
"You talk too much!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's voice rang out.
He had stopped the transfusion.
Little Ningning's condition had stabilized, though she would still need a period of quiet recuperation.
"Master!!"
Seeing Ye Chen stand up, the thirty-six disciples dropped to their knees once more.
Ye Chen gave a slight nod. "Chen Junlin, take my wife and daughter away first and find a place to settle them."
Hearing this, Chen Junlin carefully scooped up Little Ningning in his arms and said deferentially, "Mistress, please come with me..."
"But Ye Chen, aren't... aren't you coming with us? The Gu Family and the Lin Family are top-tier families in Jinling City, they... we can't afford to cross them," Xia Qingyue urged anxiously.
"Go quickly, this environment is not suitable for you... nor for our daughter."
Looking at Xia Qingyue, Ye Chen said every word with absolute finality: "Leave with Chen Junlin first, don't delay. Ningning's injuries are severe and she still needs medical care!"
With that, Ye Chen glanced at Hua Yuntian. "You go with them and make sure Little Junior Sister is healed."
"Yes!"
Hua Yuntian bowed ninety degrees in deep reverence, then said, "Mistress, please come with us... With so many disciples here, Master will be fine."
Xia Qingyue gazed deeply at Ye Chen...
Though every fiber of her being resisted leaving him, her daughter's condition was far more critical.
Gritting her teeth, she accompanied her daughter out of the Gu Family estate!
"Master, how should this person be dealt with?"
Once Xia Qingyue and the others had departed, Nie Wuji asked with an icy glare.
"He took a single drop of my daughter's blood, so I will take a thousand, ten thousand drops from him... He slashed a cut into my daughter's chest, so I will carve a thousand, ten thousand cuts into his."
Ye Chen's tone was calm, but his voice was chillingly cold. The mere utterance of those words caused the temperature in the room to plunge drastically.
"Y-You dare?! I... I am the eldest young master of the Gu Family, and my wife is of the Lin..."
Swish!
Before Gu Nanfei could finish, Ye Chen moved.
With a slight flick of his hand, the dagger in Nie Wuji's grip vanished, snatched away by Ye Chen before anyone could process it.
Then came a flash of lightning-fast blades.
Before Gu Nanfei even realized what had happened, a cut over ten centimeters long appeared across his chest.
Blood spurted out, and before Gu Nanfei could even scream, Ye Chen slashed several more times in rapid succession. In an instant, Gu Nanfei's limbs and chest were covered in knife wounds over ten centimeters in length.
Blood poured like a torrent!
Gu Nanfei was scared out of his wits, instantly losing control of his bowels and bladder.
"Ah, ah, ah!!"
In an instant, only Gu Nanfei's miserable shrieks and the heavy stench of blood filled the room.
Meanwhile, Gu Nanfei's son was frozen stiff with terror, green bile spilling from his mouth... Then his body spasmed violently, and he collapsed straight onto the bed.
The brat had literally been scared to death.
"Ah, ah, ah!!"
Seeing this sight, Gu Nanfei's howling grew even more desolate.
Yet Ye Chen's eyes held not a shred of pity, for when his daughter's heart was being carved out, that little boy had not shown an ounce of pity either.
On the contrary, upon witnessing such a bloody spectacle, the boy's eyes had gleamed with bloodthirsty excitement.
"Does it hurt?"
Ye Chen wore a smile resembling that of an Asura as he enunciated each word: "Your son's life is a life, but my daughter's life is not? Did your wife know about digging out my daughter's heart?!"
"Of course my wife knew..."
Gu Nanfei gritted his teeth, gasping for breath. "Just you wait... The Gu Family and the Lin Family will tear you madmen to pieces!!"
"She knew?"
Ye Chen's expression darkened, a cruel smile slowly creeping onto the corners of his mouth: "In that case, the Gu Family and the Lin Family can go to hell together!!"
This empty hell needed the lives of these scumbags to fill it up!!
Boom!!
Finished speaking, Ye Chen grabbed Gu Nanfei by the throat and tossed him out like a dead dog.
