"Otherwise, I will turn Jinling into a ghost city... A ghost city flowing with rivers of blood and a million corpses!"
"Hold on, you must hold on!!!"
Ye Chen's entire body was ice cold, trembling from head to toe. He was furious, and he was terrified...
The fierce murderous aura within him could no longer be suppressed!
"Huff! Huff! Huff..."
Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice thundered like an Asura from the deepest pits of hell, roaring, "How much longer... How much longer until we reach Jinling?!"
"Master, we have already arrived in Jinling!"
Chen Junlin kept a tight grip on the controls and shouted, "We are landing right now, Master... Little Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister will be fine!!!"
Already arrived?!
Ye Chen's body stiffened, and he slammed his gaze toward the window.
At that moment, the aircraft was descending, just a few hundred meters from the ground below.
Parts of the buildings below were already clearly visible.
Chen Junlin said, "Master, we will land safely in one minute, please don't wor—"
Before Chen Junlin could finish, Ye Chen directly interrupted him, "I can't wait! Open the cabin door!"
"Master, we are at a height of hundreds of meters..."
"Open the cabin door!!"
Ye Chen let out an explosive shout, and the murderous aura inside him surged wildly. Instantly, every glass object inside the aircraft shattered with a succession of loud cracks.
With Ye Chen at the center, everything around him was being frantically destroyed... If this continued, before they could land safely, the aircraft would be torn apart mid-air by his murderous aura!
Chen Junlin had no choice but to grit his teeth and open the cabin door.
Then, he witnessed a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life!
The moment the cabin door opened, Ye Chen stepped right out into the open air...
"Master!"
Chen Junlin was horrified. Just as he tried to stop him, Ye Chen had already hurtled down.
High up in the sky, hundreds of meters above the ground, Ye Chen plummeted straight down in freefall.
"That's a hundred-meter drop..." Chen Junlin felt his scalp go numb.
At the same time, the dozens of disciples in the private jets following closely behind the aircraft shouted in unison, "Master!!!"
The moment Ye Chen rushed out of the cabin, thirty-six disciples had also boarded their respective private jets and followed closely all the way.
Along the journey here, they had already discovered the reason for Ye Chen's rage.
And they had contacted all their fellow apprentices!
They had all sworn to obtain 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, warned never to set foot in Great Xia Country for the rest of their lives!!
They didn't care...
As long as they could obtain justice for their Master, what did it matter even if they stood against the entire world?!
Yet none of them expected that just as they were about to reach their destination, their Master would leap straight out of the plane, plunging directly from a height of a hundred meters!
"Master!!"
"Master!!"
amidst the shouts of the crowd, Ye Chen cut through the hundred-meter sky like a meteorite, hitting the ground with a thunderous crash without any cushioning whatsoever.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar echoed, accompanied by a billowing cloud of dust and debris!
The bluestone-paved courtyard of the Gu Family was completely smashed to pieces, and the entire villa shuddered from the impact!
The glass in the courtyard was shattered instantly by the sheer shockwave!
"What is going on?"
"Could this be an earthquake?"
"There's... there's a figure in the courtyard..."
The people inside the house were left with ringing ears from the deafening noise. Following the source of the sound, they vaguely made out a human figure amidst the dust!
This figure stood inside a huge crater. The cracks beneath his feet spread out like a dense spiderweb extending tens of meters in all directions, and even some of the walls had cracked from the shockwave!!
"Is... is this person human or ghost?!" someone blurted out in terror.
Before anyone could answer, Ye Chen moved!
Boom!!!
Another deafening crash rang out, and before anyone could react to what was happening, a figure resembling a hellish Asura instantly rushed into the house!
Blood and tears streamed from Ye Chen's eyes as the killing intent within him surged endlessly. With a wave 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 tightly onto the remaining three bodyguards, and he asked in a voice as cold as millennia-old glacial 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 still something a human could do?
The remaining three bodyguards were instantly driven to the brink of a mental breakdown by Ye Chen's methods, their mouths hanging wide open in terror, completely dumbfounded!
They were so scared they didn't 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 came from upstairs.
Boom!
Instantly, the murderous aura around Ye Chen surged violently once again. With a single punch, he blew the three remaining bodyguards into smithereens, and then his body shot rapidly toward the second floor like an arrow released from a bow.
"Haha, what Jinling's Number One Goddess... Xia Qingyue, from now on you'll just be a plaything beneath Gu Nanfei, hahaha!"
Gu Nanfei excitedly tore Xia Qingyue's clothes to shreds.
Rip!
In a split second, only a single piece of undergarment remained on Xia Qingyue. "You beasts... You said you would let my daughter go, you said you would let my daughter go!"
Xia Qingyue screamed miserably, driven to the edge of collapse and losing all strength to resist.
On the cold operating table, little Ningning's chest was covered in crimson blood, and just one final step remained before her heart was to be excised.
"Ningning... Mommy is coming to join you!!"
Xia Qingyue cried out in despair, then opened her mouth and bit down fiercely on Gu Nanfei's arm.
"Damn it, you bitch!"
Gu Nanfei backhanded her hard across the face.
Yet Xia Qingyue didn't react at all; instead, she seized the opportunity to rush toward the operating table, grabbed a sharp scalpel, and stabbed it fiercely toward her own neck!
'Farewell, this world!'
'Farewell, Ye Chen!'
'Ningning, Mommy is coming with you!'
Splat!
The sharp scalpel sliced through skin, and a spray of crimson blood splashed several meters away.
Yet Xia Qingyue didn't feel any pain at all.
She forced her eyes open to 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!"
Instantly, Xia Qingyue lost all her strength, collapsing into Ye Chen's embrace and weeping aloud.
Ye Chen held Xia Qingyue tightly, then cast his gaze toward the operating table... There, a little girl of about four years old was bound to the operating table. The little girl's face was as pale as paper, and she had already passed out. A large cut had been sliced into her chest, and her entire torso was stained with blood!
Looking closer at the little girl's features, her brows and expression shared a seven-tenths resemblance to Ye Chen... Those features, that look, she was quite literally a cute, miniature version of Ye Chen!
"My daughter!!"
In an instant, Ye Chen's eyes turned blood red.
The doctor still wanted to continue the operation, but he was instantly terrified out of his wits by Ye Chen's glare.
"Y-Y-You... What do you think you're doing?"
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Ye Chen grabbed him by the neck and twisted it fiercely.
Snap!
Decisive and ruthless, the doctor didn't even have a chance to struggle before his neck was snapped clean by Ye Chen.
"Who are you? H-How did you get in... Bodyguards, where are the bodyguards?!" Gu Nanfei was also startled out of his wits by Ye Chen's methods, his speech becoming slurred.
"You! Deserve! To Die!"
Ye Chen spat out those words through clenched teeth, then hurled the doctor's corpse violently at 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 if 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 operating table, slicing through all the ropes.
"Daughter... My daughter!"
Looking at the unconscious little girl, Ye Chen felt as though his heart were bleeding.
He hurriedly took a Peiyuan Pill from his pocket and pressed it into the little girl's mouth, then said with a trembling voice, "Her heart hasn't been taken out yet... Ningning has just lost too much blood, I can save her, I can definitely save her!"
The Peiyuan Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth, and without daring to pause for even a second, Ye Chen immediately set to work stitching up little Ningning's wound.
Xia Qingyue's emotions had also steadied somewhat. Hearing that her daughter still had a chance, she instinctively clutched her torn clothes and stood beside the operating table, waiting anxiously for Ye Chen's instructions...
However, Ye Chen did not ask Xia Qingyue to help.
Instead, he diligently stitched up his daughter's wound all by himself. The suturing needle in Ye Chen's hand seemed like an extension of his own body, nimble and exquisite.
In the blink of an eye, little Ningning's wound was sewn up, and the bleeding had stopped.
"Daring to come to the Gu Family to make trouble, you're simply asking for death!"
Gu Nanfei struggled back to his feet, preparing to grab his phone and call for reinforcements, when the door was pushed open once more.
Chen Junlin, dressed in military attire, was the first to step into the room.
Closely following Chen Junlin was the Lord 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 some foreign country, and the king of overseas mercenaries—one prominent figure after another walked into the room!
"Who are you people?"
Gu Nanfei froze, suddenly overwhelmed by the presence and momentum of these individuals.
Though none of them spoke a word, the aura emanating from them was far beyond anything ordinary people possessed.
"You... Do you have any idea that my Gu Family is a first-tier family here in Jinling City?! You broke into the Gu Family and hurt my men, aren't you afraid of death?!" Gu Nanfei tried to make one last desperate stand.
"Noisy!!"
However, before he could finish, Nie Wuji moved!
As the Lord of Yama Hall and a God of Slaughter renowned across various nations, Nie Wuji's voice was as cold as millennia-old 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.
"Ah..."
Gu Nanfei screamed miserably. But before his cries could fully escape his mouth, Nie Wuji delivered another punch.
Bang!
Gu Nanfei's nose was smashed crooked, and his teeth were knocked out.
Before Gu Nanfei could spit out the teeth and blood filling his mouth, Nie Wuji struck again!
He pressed down directly on Gu Nanfei's mouth, saying word by word, "If you dare make a single sound and disturb my Master as he treats my Little Junior Sister, I will carve the flesh off your body piece by piece and let you experience what it feels like to wish you were dead!"
"Gulp!"
Gu Nanfei was terrified out of his wits, staring in horror at Nie Wuji as cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He knew Nie Wuji was not joking.
'S-So cruel!! Is this guy a human or a demon?!'
Gu Nanfei plunged into utter despair... Because he sensed that apart from Nie Wuji, the other thirty-some people in the room were likely beings he could never afford to provoke either!!
Chapter 5: Go to Hell
Although the bleeding had 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 vied with one another, shouting, "Let me do it, I'll do it!"
"I have plenty of blood, let me do it!"
"No, let me... My blood is pure!"
Just as everyone was arguing amongst themselves, Xia Qingyue said tearfully, "M-My daughter has panda blood, and that blood type is extremely hard to find. Right now, we can only rush to the hospital and try our luck..."
Panda blood?
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Ordinary blood types would certainly be stocked in hospital inventories. But panda blood required pure luck.
"I'll do it, I have panda blood!"
Just as everyone was frowning, Ye Chen had already pulled the transfusion equipment over to the bed and said, "Hua Yuntian, you handle the operation!"
"Yes..." As the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley, a doctor revered by countless people, his hands actually trembled slightly upon hearing Ye Chen's command.
Half an hour later, as blood from Ye Chen's body was pumped drop by drop into little Ningning, the little girl's complexion lost its deathly pallor...
However, Ye Chen's own face grew increasingly pale until, in a matter of moments, every trace of color had drained from it.
"Master, that's enough!" Hua Yuntian urged anxiously.
"It's not enough... These bastards drained over a thousand milliliters of blood from my daughter... And she's just a little child!"
Enduring the discomfort in his body, Ye Chen said, "Continue the transfusion! Do not stop!!"
"But your injuries..."
Hua Yuntian wanted to say more, but he was cut short by a sharp, piercing glare from Ye Chen.
The other disciples were filled with boundless rage, each wishing they could slice Gu Nanfei into a thousand pieces... Yet without Ye Chen's order, they dared not act rashly!
Ye Chen would never let such a hypocritical, beastly monster die an easy death!
"You... What on earth are you people?"
By this time, Gu Nanfei was so frightened by the murderous aura radiating from the crowd that he was on the verge of wetting himself.
"What are we?"
The God of Slaughter Nie Wuji said through clenched teeth, his voice chillingly cold, "We are the ones sending you to hell... You had better pray that my Little Junior Sister is fine, or else I will turn this city into a city of the dead!"
"Y-You people... You're madmen, absolute madmen!"
Gu Nanfei was utterly terrified, stammering, "Do you have any idea who I am? I am the eldest young master of the Gu Family... And my wife is the second young lady of the Jinling Lin Family! Surely you've heard of the Lin Family? In Jinling City, the Lin Family covers the sky with a single hand! Hmph, just wait until my wife comes back and sees how you've treated me, she'll tear you all to pieces. If you... if you know what's good for you, you'd better let me go right now!"
"You talk too much!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's voice rang out.
He had already stopped the transfusion.
Little Ningning's condition was no longer in critical danger, 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 again.
Ye Chen gave a slight nod and said, "Chen Junlin, take my wife and daughter away first, and find a safe place to settle them."
Hearing this, Chen Junlin carefully scooped up little Ningning and said respectfully, "Mistress, please come with me..."
"But Ye Chen, you... Aren't you coming with us? The Gu Family and the Lin Family are first-tier families in Jinling City, they—they... We can't afford to provoke them," Xia Qingyue urged anxiously.
"Go quickly, this environment isn't suitable for you... nor for our daughter."
Ye Chen looked at Xia Qingyue and said word by word, "Leave with Chen Junlin first, don't delay. Ningning's injuries are severe and still require medical treatment!"
With that, Ye Chen glanced at Hua Yuntian and said, "You go with them and take responsibility for curing my Little Junior Sister."
"Yes!"
Hua Yuntian bowed ninety degrees with a respectful expression, then said, "Mistress, please come with us... With so many disciples here, Master will be fine."
Xia Qingyue looked deeply at Ye Chen...
Reluctant as she was, her daughter's condition was far more critical.
Gritting her teeth, she accompanied her daughter away from the Gu Family!
"Master, how should this person be dealt with?"
After Xia Qingyue and the others left, Nie Wuji asked with an icy glare.
"He took a drop of my daughter's blood, so I'll take a thousand, ten thousand drops of his... He slashed my daughter's chest, so I'll carve a thousand, ten thousand cuts into his chest!"
Ye Chen's tone was calm, but his voice was chillingly cold. The moment he spoke, the temperature in the room plummeted drastically.
"Y-You dare?! I—I am the eldest young master of the Gu Family, and my wife belongs to the Lin Family..."
Swish!
Before Gu Nanfei could finish, Ye Chen moved.
With a slight flick of his hand, Nie Wuji's dagger was somehow snatched away by Ye Chen.
Followed by a lightning-fast slash.
Before Gu Nanfei could even realize what had happened, a cut over ten centimeters long appeared across his chest.
Blood spurted out. Before Gu Nanfei could even scream, Ye Chen slashed again and again with rapid strokes. In an instant, Gu Nanfei's limbs and chest were covered in knife wounds over ten centimeters long.
Blood poured like a waterfall!
Gu Nanfei was scared out of his wits, instantly losing control of his bowels and bladder.
"Ah, ah, ah!!"
In an instant, the room echoed solely with Gu Nanfei's miserable shrieks and the heavy stench of blood.
At the same time, Gu Nanfei's son was also scared stiff, vomiting green bile from his mouth... Then his body convulsed violently, and he collapsed straight onto the bed.
The kid had actually been scared to death.
"Ah, ah, ah!!"
Upon seeing this sight, the howling from Gu Nanfei's mouth became even more desolate.
Yet there was not a shred of sympathy in Ye Chen's eyes, for when his daughter's heart was being carved out, that young boy had shown no sympathy whatsoever.
On the contrary, upon witnessing such a bloody spectacle, the boy's eyes had actually gleamed with a bloodthirsty and excited light.
"Is it painful?"
Ye Chen wore a smile resembling that of an Asura as he said word by word, "Your son's life is a life, but my daughter's life isn't? When my daughter's heart was being dug out, did your wife know about it?!"
"Of course my wife knew..."
Gu Nanfei gritted his teeth, panting heavily as he said, "Just you wait, you just wait... The Gu Family and the Lin Family will tear you madmen to pieces!!"
"She knew?"
Ye Chen's expression darkened, and a cruel smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth: "Since that's the case, then the Gu Family and the Lin Family can go to hell together!!"
This empty hell needed the lives of these scum to fill it up!!
Boom!!
Finished speaking, Ye Chen grabbed Gu Nanfei by the neck and tossed him out like a dead dog.
