"Ghost, you are a ghost!"
"It must be!"
"Otherwise, you couldn't absorb so much Yin Qi!"
"Are you a Ghost King?"
"Lord Ghost King, please accept this humble bow!"
Fu Hongxue's mind collapsed. He knelt before Chen Nan in terror, continuously kowtowing.
In his life, he had subdued the vengeful souls of hundreds of malevolent ghosts and sealed them in his staff.
Releasing them simultaneously allowed him to defeat enemies of higher levels.
However,
Chen Nan had absorbed them all. Was this even human?
???
???
???
The others were also taken aback.
It seemed Fu Hongxue was truly provoked and frightened.
To the point where he lost his composure.
If Chen Nan were a Ghost King, why would he use this opportunity to break through?
But one thing had to be said.
Chen Nan's ability to absorb Fu Hongxue's malevolent ghosts and break through was quite terrifying.
Even witnessing it firsthand, they found it hard to believe.
Old Tong, standing beside them, spoke slowly, "Fellow Daoist Fu, Chen Nan has merely cultivated a special technique, which allowed him to forcefully absorb your malevolent ghosts. Do not be deceived by him."
Fu Hongxue suddenly lifted his head.
Blood trickled down his forehead, a shocking sight.
Old Tong's words reminded him. He stood up, leaning on his staff, his eyes glowing crimson. "Chen Nan, I advise you to hand over the cultivation technique you practice. Otherwise, even if my dantian self-destructs, I will drag you down with me!"
Those malevolent ghosts were his greatest weapon.
They were the greatest achievement of his life.
Now that they had served to empower Chen Nan, his heart was ashen.
Swish!
Chen Nan used the technique of "Shrinking the Ground into an Inch" and passed by his side.
The Thousand-Year Peach Wood Sword silently sliced across his neck.
Then,
the people of the Qu family watched in shock as Fu Hongxue's head slowly detached and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ssss!
A headless corpse spewed blood like a fountain!
A cultivator at the sixth layer of Qi Refining was instantly killed by him with a single sword!
The scene fell silent.
The Qu family disciples felt the hand of fate grip their throats.
Making them nearly suffocate!
They had never taken Chen Nan seriously, believing he was walking into a trap by coming to the Qu family.
But,
who could have imagined that he would kill two super experts of the Qu family immediately upon his arrival?
Moreover,
Fu Hongxue had allowed him to reach the sixth layer of Qi Refining.
"Old Tong, please eliminate this brat!" Old Master Qu placed all his hopes on Old Tong.
Old Tong shook his head. "I am no match for him!"
"What?"
"Even Old Tong is not his opponent?"
"Heavens, is this fellow so powerful?"
The members of the Qu family panicked.
After all, Old Tong was their last resort.
He was the strongest expert in the Qu family!
If...
If even he couldn't contend with Chen Nan, wouldn't the Qu family be finished?
Old Tong's eyes were complex.
Even before Chen Nan broke through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, he couldn't see through the man's strength and methods.
Let alone now that he had broken through to a higher realm.
Even though he also possessed the cultivation of the sixth layer of Qi Refining, he knew that if they were to fight, he would be the one at a disadvantage!
"I once promised to protect the Qu family, and now I have broken my word. I am willing to accept punishment!" A dagger appeared in Old Tong's hand, and he fiercely stabbed himself in the abdomen three times.
Three stabs, six holes, this was the rule of the martial world!
"From now on, the life and death of the Qu family are of no concern to me!" Old Tong's face was pale. Even with his cultivation at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, he could barely endure the pain of six holes from three stabs!
Chen Nan turned his gaze to the other cultivators, a disdainful smile on his face. "You few, are you still going to stand up for the Qu family?"
Those cultivators also looked dejected.
Although the Qu family offered them a lot.
And the treatment was very good.
But they also knew.
If they were to stand up for the Qu family now, they would surely die without a burial place!
"Old Master Qu, I apologize!"
"I am also willing to endure three stabs and six holes!"
Those experts at the Qi Refining stage all played tough, but they avoided stabbing their dantians. Even if they endured three stabs and six holes, their lives would not be affected!
Old Master Qu's heart was ashen, and he slumped to the ground.
Why?
Why had it come to this?
Why had all the retainers chosen to leave the Qu family?
Was it truly my fault?
The others' eyes also reflected fear and unease.
Even these people had abandoned the Qu family, and there was no one left who could defeat the opponent.
If Chen Nan wanted to annihilate them, no one in the Qu family would survive today!
Qu Yuan sighed and then stepped forward, bowing to Chen Nan. "Mr. Chen, our Qu family has offended you. It was our fault. I am willing to apologize to you!"
Chen Nan: "Mr. Qu should know that I did not come here to cause trouble."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Qu Yuan hurriedly took out a check and said respectfully, "This check is for two hundred billion. You can directly transfer it to your bank card. If you find it troublesome, I can also have someone transfer it to your private account!"
"I hope you will be magnanimous and spare our Qu family!"
Chen Nan had not expected them to actually prepare two hundred billion. He snorted, "If you had produced it earlier, would there have been so much trouble? Weren't you forcing me to go on a killing spree?"
Saying that, he took the check.
"I hope you will learn a lesson from today's events. That's all!" He then turned and left. He had come here only for wealth and would not kill ordinary people unless absolutely necessary.
"Old Master Qu, take care!"
Old Tong cupped his fists and then left the Qu family.
In the blink of an eye.
Only two of the Qu family's twelve retainers remained...
Except.
These two were already dead.
Qu Yuan walked to his father and said nervously, "Father, please forgive me for giving Chen Nan two hundred billion. I had no choice!"
Qu Er said by his side, "Two hundred billion is not a small sum, but it is not too much for our Qu family. Consider it a disaster averted by paying money!"
"Yes, this time, thanks to elder brother for preparing two hundred billion in advance, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
"It was my fault after all. I was too arrogant and did not take Chen Nan seriously. If I had accepted your suggestion and given him two hundred billion directly, how could things have escalated to this point?"
Old Master Qu sighed deeply, looking as if he had aged instantly.
Producing two hundred billion was not the issue.
The problem was...
The Qu family had lost all face today!
The retainers of the Qu family had all scattered like birds and beasts!
This was a huge loss for the Qu family.
After all, these so-called noble families competed not just on wealth, but also on how many cultivators their clan had.
After leaving the Qu family.
Chen Nan headed straight to the bank. He needed to transfer the money from the check into his bank card.
Two hundred billion!
Just thinking about it made him excited.
If he were to withdraw all two hundred billion in cash, it would be quite a magnificent sight when piled up.
