Chapter 1351 The Gu Family Arrives in Xinghua Village for Revenge

"Where is that Chen kid? Hand him over to me." A middle-aged man sitting on a tall horse said coldly, his voice filled with murderous intent.

Before him stood the villagers of Xinghua Village, young and old, more than a hundred people in total, all of whom had been forced to come here and were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

To them, the Gu family was like royalty; kneeling before them was nothing.

The middle-aged man sitting on the tall horse was none other than Gu Jianghe, the head of the Gu family and Gu Yunfei's father.

Although Gu Yunfei was not the only son in the Gu family, he was the son he loved and valued the most. He had always been groomed to be the family heir, but he was killed. You can imagine how angry he was.

According to the information currently available to the Gu family, the person who slaughtered the Nine Dragons Stronghold and killed Gu Yunfei is likely the same person who massacred the Nine Dragons Stronghold bandits in Xinghua Village that day.

So they came to Xinghua Village and specifically asked Chen Yang to come out.

"Immortal, spare us! Immortal, please have mercy! That Master Chen—no, that young man surnamed Chen—has no connection whatsoever with our Xinghua Village. He was seriously injured and nearly died in the mountains. Then Zhang Dashan from our village found him, carried him out of the mountains, and even got a doctor to treat him. We know nothing about his true identity. If he has offended you, Immortal, the grievances should be settled with the perpetrators, not with our Xinghua Village!" an elder from Xinghua Village pleaded desperately.

The Gu family patriarch arrived with a large force, and the retainers and generals he brought were all menacing, clearly indicating that his visit was not for good.

Everyone had long heard that Kowloon Walled Village had connections within the Thunder God Sect and was protected by them.

Now the protective umbrella has finally surfaced: the Gu family of Thunder City.

People still held onto a sliver of hope, believing that the guilty party would be held accountable and that the Gu family wouldn't harm the villagers of Xinghua Village, but rather target the culprit, Chen Yang.

At this moment, only Zhang Dashan and his wife knew that Chen Yang had not only destroyed Kowloon Village, but also killed one of the eldest sons of the Gu family. The problem was far more serious than everyone had imagined.

Regardless of how the villagers will be treated, the couple will definitely be targeted by the Gu family, who might even make them pay with their lives as a sacrifice for Young Master Gu. After all, Chen Yang was treated by their family, so they can't escape responsibility.

“Zhang Dashan? Which one is Zhang Dashan? Get out here!” Gu Jianghe said, looking around at the kneeling crowd.

Zhang Dashan, who was kneeling in the crowd, quickly crawled out on his knees like a dog, his body trembling like a leaf.

"Immortal, I am Zhang Dashan," Zhang Dashan said tremblingly.

"Is this the Chen kid you saved? Where is he?" Gu Jianghe shouted angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.

Although he hadn't yet delivered the fatal blow, the man named Zhang Dashan in front of him was already a dead man.

Because if Zhang Dashan hadn't saved Chen Yang, Kowloon Village wouldn't have been destroyed, and his son wouldn't have died.

Zhang Dashan is an indirect murderer.

"Reporting to the Immortal, Chen Chen... that person, he's already gone, he's been gone for a week. Everyone in the village can testify to that. He himself said he was a rogue cultivator, without any sect or affiliation, and nobody knows where he went." Zhang Dashan lowered his head, his voice stammering with fear.

Ultimately, Chen Yang had done a great favor for the Zhang family by saving his wife and daughter, and he could not repay kindness with enmity, so he revealed Chen Yang's whereabouts.

"Yes, yes, they're gone."

"It's been a week since I last saw him."

“Those cultivators come and go without a trace; no one knows where they go.”

……

The villagers all chimed in, trying to exonerate Zhang Dashan.

"Gone? A rogue cultivator? Nobody knows where he went? Fine, very well! Since we can't find him, then let the lives of your entire village be used to pay for my son's death!" Gu Jianghe said angrily, his eyes bloodshot.

Then, he said to the group of retainers and generals behind him, "Slaughter the entire village, leave no one alive. Start with Zhang Dashan's family!"

"No, Immortal Master, we are innocent!"

"That cultivator surnamed Chen is the real culprit. Why are you taking your anger out on us ordinary folks?"

"Immortal Master, Zhang Xiaoyue from our village is cultivating immortality at the Heavenly Thunder Sect. It is said that she is already a true disciple. Could you spare Xinghua Village for her sake?"

……

Upon hearing that the village was to be massacred, the entire village panicked and begged Gu Jianghe for mercy. Some villagers even brought up Zhang Xiaoyue.

But no matter how much the villagers begged for mercy or tried to pull strings, Gu Jianghe remained unmoved.

Zhang Xiaoyue is nothing special. Even if she is a true disciple, why would the Gu family take her seriously?

His son died, and he had to get an explanation. Before finding the culprit, he wanted to have the entire village of Xinghua buried with him so that his son wouldn't die too lonely and desolate.

"Immortal, kill me if you must! It's all my fault. The villagers are innocent. If I hadn't saved them, none of this would have happened. So I am the culprit." Zhang Dashan knelt before Gu Jianghe, gritted his teeth, and took all the blame.

His words do make some sense.

The villagers all looked at him with gratitude.

"Who do you think you are, daring to bargain with me? I said, your entire village must die. Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

As Gu Jianghe gave the order, a servant suddenly drew a long sword from his waist, swung it in a wide arc, and slashed at Zhang Dashan's neck—simple and brutal.

"No, no!"

At that moment, Zhang Dashan's wife, Sister Huang, let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The hearts of everyone in the village were heavy, and their faces were ashen.

They didn't want to see Zhang Dashan killed, and they certainly didn't want to be killed themselves.

However, they were weak and powerless, unarmed, and without any martial arts skills. Facing a group of ferocious cultivators, they had no chance to resist.

"Die!" said the Gu family general who drew his long sword.

Clang!

The cold, sharp light of the blade traced a circle in the air, and the emanating blade energy produced a clanging sound.

Such a strike can split even steel, let alone sever a person's neck.

"Humph!"

Just as the sharp blade was about to slash at Zhang Dashan's neck, a cold snort suddenly rang out.

This cold snort was very strange. It was clearly made by a person, and it clearly came from the sky, but the person could not be seen, only the sound could be heard.

Not only that, the Gu family guard who was wielding the broadsword to strike Zhang Dashan was also terrified, as if he had been frozen in place. The blade was only a fist's distance away from Zhang Dashan's neck, but he could not strike it down no matter what he did.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp cracking sound like bones breaking came from his neck, his eyes widened violently, and he died instantly, collapsing to the ground.

The key point is, I clearly didn't see anyone make a move.

Extremely bizarre!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned extremely cold.

If you look closely, you'll see several clear finger marks on the neck of the deceased Gu family servant, indicating that he didn't die suddenly, but was strangled.

Although no one was seen making a move, the finger marks on the neck were unmistakable.

"Who is it? Get out here! What kind of hero are you, sneaking around like this?" Gu Jianghe, the head of the Gu family, drew his sword with a clang, looked around nervously, and shouted loudly with a fierce but weak voice.

To be honest, at this moment, he panicked a little.

The other party had killed one of his Gu family's retainers, and he hadn't even seen who it was. This was simply outrageous.

It's important to understand that this slain retainer was no ordinary person; he was a martial arts master comparable to those in the secular world. The fact that he died without even offering a shred of resistance indicates that the person who struck him was definitely no ordinary individual.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind the Gu family patriarch and his family guards.

Upon hearing this sound, the Gu family members were nearly scared to death and quickly turned around.

Sure enough, they saw a young man who suddenly appeared there, like a ghost, with his hands behind his back and his feet not touching the ground. He stood there with an air of nonchalance. He was not old, only in his twenties, but he had an otherworldly appearance, gentle and refined, like a jade-faced scholar.

Beside the young man was a ferocious beast, over three zhang long, with a muscular, streamlined body, an inverted triangular head, and its entire body covered in a layer of jet-black scales. Its eyes gleamed with an extremely cold and evil light, and its four iron legs were extremely thick, with claws as sharp as daggers.

Its gaping maw had two rows of sharp teeth, one above the other, and two long, pointed fangs at the corners of its mouth.

Even more bizarrely, the void around this savage beast seemed to become unstable, rippling with visible waves, as if the void was wrinkling and collapsing.

Even with the knowledge and experience of the Gu family patriarch, this savage beast was something he had never heard of or seen before.

The two, a man and a beast, appeared out of nowhere, like ghosts, quite abruptly.

Not only were the Gu family members startled, but the villagers of Xinghua Village were also stunned.

Clearly, the Gu family retainer who had just died was killed by this uninvited guest.

As for how he was killed, no one knows, but the person is dead, dead without any explanation.

"Brother Chen, Master Chen, what brings you here? Hurry up and leave, they're going to kill you!" Zhang Dashan said loudly to Chen Yang, his face tense and excited.

If Chen Yang hadn't intervened, he would definitely have been decapitated and become a corpse.

After all, Chen Yang had done a great favor for the Zhang family, saving his wife and daughter from bandits, and he didn't want to see anything happen to Chen Yang.

“He can’t leave. He has to take responsibility for his actions. If he leaves, none of us in the village will survive.”

"Yes, yes, he absolutely cannot leave. He killed the man, so he should bear the responsibility."

“Zhang Dashan, you’re confused. Although he saved your wife and daughter, you also saved his life. You two are even now, neither of you owes the other anything. You don’t need to speak well of him.”

"Patriarch of the Gu family, the person you are looking for is both far away and right before your eyes. Now, can you release us?"

……

The villagers of Xinghua Village, however, said this: they wouldn't let Chen Yang leave, believing him to be the instigator and the culprit. Since he was here, he should bear the Gu family's wrath alone.

Thanks to Chen Yang's intervention, otherwise Xinghua Village would have had to bear the brunt of the Gu family's anger.

Faced with these comments, Chen Yang simply smiled faintly.

Although the voice sounded harsh and somewhat inhuman, he could understand it.

For these ordinary people, survival is the most important thing; morality and ethics have to take a back seat.

"You are Chen Yang? You are the one who destroyed Kowloon Village? You are the one who killed my son? How cruel you are! I can accept that you destroyed Kowloon Village, but why did you kill my son? When you killed him, didn't you know that he was a descendant of the Gu family? My son, Gu Jianghe's son?" Gu Jianghe looked at Chen Yang and accused him loudly.

"I did kill him. As for the reason, it's because my fists are hard enough. Are you satisfied with that reason?" Chen Yang looked at the Gu family head and said coldly, his whole body exuding a strong killing intent.

Judging from the tone of this Gu family patriarch, he was completely unaware of his mistake, as if colluding with bandits was not such a shameful thing.

In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and martial prowess reigns supreme, a principle vividly illustrated by the Gu family patriarch.

There's no need to talk about morality or ethics here; it's all about interests.

Since the person was already killed, Chen Yang was too lazy to waste words with this group of people.

Because saying more won't help.

If his fists weren't strong enough, he would have been dead today.

If his fists are strong enough, then his fists are the truth. Speaking for him with his fists is more real than anything else.

"Boy, you're asking for death! How dare you speak to our patriarch like that?" a Gu family retainer roared.

"I'm speaking to your master, what right do you, a mere servant, have to interrupt?" Chen Yang glanced coldly at the talkative servant, then slapped him across the face.

Snapped!

Click!

Although they were several meters apart, Chen Yang's slap landed squarely on the face of the talkative servant. First, there was a crisp slapping sound, followed by the sound of bones cracking.

The talkative servant immediately fell backward, his eyes bulging out, blood flowing from his seven orifices, and with a final kick of his legs, he died.

Without anyone noticing, two of the Gu family members were killed.

Clearly, Chen Yang didn't take the Gu family seriously, regarding them as mere ants, to be killed at will.

The Gu family patriarch stared wide-eyed at Chen Yang in disbelief.

The other servants and retainers were also dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

These people, who had almost surrounded Chen Yang, were now screaming and retreating to create distance between themselves and him.

In particular, the Void Beast standing beside Chen Yang, roaring from time to time, was even more awe-inspiring.

The key point is that this savage beast is something that no one has ever heard of or seen before, and it looks incredibly ferocious.

"A bunch of useless trash, where do you think you're going? Attack him together and kill him!" The Gu family patriarch finally lost his temper and gave the order.

He thought Chen Yang would realize his mistake and kneel before him begging for forgiveness, but Chen Yang repeatedly crossed his bottom line.

Today's bloodshed was unavoidable!

Despite their fear, the servants and guards had no choice but to intervene.

"kill!"

"Go together."

"This guy is all show and no substance, all bark and no bite. Don't be intimidated by his imposing manner."

……

Amidst the exclamations, someone drew a bow and arrow, and shot.

Someone took out a spear and lance and thrust it swiftly at Chen Yang's vital points.

Some wielded knives and swords, hacking and slashing; others unleashed supernatural powers, palm prints, fist prints, flames…
