Chapter 7419
You'll Regret It
quiet!
A deathly silence once again enveloped the entire Qiyun Manor!
Those guests huddled in the corner, those newly subdued martial arts masters, and even the masked figures of the War God Alliance…
They all seemed frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene, their eyes filled with extreme fear, shock, and bewilderment!
Xiao Chen... didn't move a single finger from beginning to end!
The imposing and highly skilled new martial arts enforcement officer, Lü Cangluan, was suddenly struck by an inexplicable, invisible force, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward, leaving him in a sorry state!
What the hell is going on?!
The air seemed to have frozen solid, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, and even the sound of one's own heartbeat could be clearly heard!
Xiao Chen then slowly stopped. He didn't turn around, but instead cast his gaze upon the members of the War God Alliance, finally fixing it on the leader, the man in the dragon-patterned mask. He calmly gave the order:
"Zhou Keying's father should be imprisoned in the dungeon or a side courtyard of the Lü family. Send someone to find him immediately and return him safely to the Zhou family."
He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold, carrying a chilling killing intent that clearly resonated throughout the room, each word piercing to the heart:
"If anyone dares to obstruct..."
"Kill them without mercy!"
These last four words were clearly meant for those still in shock from the new martial arts tournament!
With the help of his subordinates, Lü Cangluan managed to stand up. Upon hearing this, his face turned extremely gloomy and resentful. His lips trembled, but he dared not make any further moves.
The New Martial Arts Association headquarters' original intention was to use the Lu family's affairs to set a trap, either to capture Xiao Chen legitimately or to kill him directly and eliminate future troubles!
But now it seems... the plan has completely failed!
There are just too many variables tonight! Even the Venerable Zhongnan, the Blood-Clad Man, has been defeated and killed. This kid's fate is simply defying the heavens!
Add to that the mysterious and terrifying Yin Ancestor, and this suddenly appearing, well-trained team of martial artists... it would be extremely difficult to make a move against Xiao Chen again in the western region!
Who would have thought that this kid would quietly build such a massive force right under the noses of their New Martial Arts Association?!
As Lü Cangluan watched Xiao Chen's retreating figure, a chill ran through her heart.
Next... how do we explain this to headquarters? And how do we deal with this "devil" that has become unstoppable?
He didn't know, he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness, like a tide, completely engulfing him.
Xiao Chen ignored the complex gazes behind him—some filled with awe, some with resentment, and some with confusion—and was too lazy to try to fathom their schemes.
He walked straight to Zhou Keying's side, naturally taking her slightly cool hand in his. The warmth of his fingertips passed through their skin, and even his voice softened, the murderous aura from before gone.
"It's all over. We...go home."
The word "home" seemed to possess some strange magic, instantly relaxing Zhou Keying's tense nerves.
Her eyes suddenly reddened, and glistening tears welled up in them, but stubbornly refused to fall.
She could clearly feel a subtle weariness hidden within the warmth emanating from Xiao Chen's palm...
That was the wear and tear after a series of battles, but more than that, it was a sense of peace and stability that allowed her to let go of all her fear and anxiety.
From childhood to adulthood, she was always bound by family responsibilities and that absurd marriage contract, like a caged bird, without even the right to choose.
But the man before her, in an almost domineering and unquestionable way, cleared all obstacles for her, personally tearing away all the shackles and pulling her completely out of that quagmire.
"Mmm." Zhou Keying nodded vigorously, then gripped Xiao Chen's hand tightly with a strength she had never shown before. The two walked side by side, never looking back at the ravaged battlefield or the bewildered crowd behind them, heading towards the dim light of night outside Qiyun Manor.
"Wait a minute! Your name is Xiao Chen?"
A clear, playful female voice suddenly rang out, blocking their path. It was the girl with the twin buns who had caused a scene at the airport earlier, demanding a duel with Xiao Chen.
"Is something wrong?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the girl.
With just one glance, his eyes narrowed slightly... The aura emanating from this girl was terrifying to the extreme!
Far surpassing that so-called Venerable Zhongnan in his blood-red robes, even several times stronger than Ji Yin! This is an aura that no ordinary martial artist could possess!
"If you are Xiao Chen, then I'm here to kill you!" The girl tilted her head and looked at him, her face devoid of any murderous intent. Her tone was as calm as if she were saying, "I'm going to buy a candied hawthorn," making it seem unbelievably easy.
“I don’t know you.” Xiao Chen frowned slightly. His memory was always excellent; if he had dealt with such a top expert, there was no way he would forget him.
"My name is Wu Feifei." The girl smiled and shook her head, then clapped her hands as if suddenly remembering something. "Oh right! Jiang Meng is my senior sister!"
She stepped forward, her tone still light, yet carrying an undeniable certainty: "Alright, enough nonsense, let me kill you so I can go back and report."
Xiao Chen's breathing suddenly became heavier, but there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, a hint of undisguised surprise flashed across them!
Jiang Meng!
That was the name etched deepest in his heart! This Wu Feifei actually knew his wife? Did that mean that he could find Jiang Meng's whereabouts through her?
Xiao Chen suppressed his excitement, glanced at the lurking gazes around him, and said calmly, "Okay. Let's go to my villa."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and strode forward with steady steps.
Without further ado, Wu Feifei smiled and, like a cheerful little bird, hopped and skipped after him, then neatly and nimbly climbed into Xiao Chen's car, her movements as natural as if the two were old friends who had known each other for many years.
……
Inside the villa.
Xiao Chen and Wu Feifei stood facing each other, twenty meters apart. An invisible aura collided between them, causing even the air to ripple slightly.
Lin Zhenghao and Ji Yin stood on either side, their expressions grave as if facing a formidable enemy. Zhou Keying, meanwhile, had already been escorted by members of the War God Alliance to see her imprisoned father, Zhou Yanhe.
"Aren't you curious why I want to kill you?" Wu Feifei stood casually, her toes lightly touching the ground, looking at Xiao Chen with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Let's get started."
Xiao Chen didn't bother with pleasantries. Faced with absolute power, no reason mattered. The answer he sought would come naturally once he was defeated.
"Hehe, you'll regret this!"
Wu Feifei chuckled, and before she finished speaking, her figure flashed! Leaving only a faint afterimage behind her, she pounced on Xiao Chen like a ghost, her speed reaching its limit!
"presumptuous!"
Ji Yin's pupils constricted sharply; how could he allow her to attack his lord in front of him? He moved swiftly, instantly blocking Xiao Chen's path, his right hand forming a blade, imbued with overwhelming killing intent, and slashed fiercely at Wu Feifei! (End of Chapter)
