Chapter 447 Gao Lao's Defeat
"Everyone rest assured, it's just a simple bone-shrinking technique."
Even as Gao Chuhe said this, a trace of worry flickered across her delicate face.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xuan, however, heard Gao Chuhe's words and secretly shook his head.
That Xiao Qingyao had not just changed his appearance through the bone-shrinking technique; his strength had also significantly increased. Judging by his aura, he was even a few points stronger than Elder Gao!
"Bone-shrinking technique? I didn't expect you to know such a long-lost martial art. I underestimated you."
Elder Gao, dressed in a white training suit, his pupils constricted, stared at Xiao Qingyao with a smile.
Elder Gao had seen his fair share of storms and quickly calmed down.
"You have some knowledge then," Xiao Qingyao said indifferently.
"Do you think the bone-shrinking technique is enough to turn the tables?" Elder Gao said calmly.
"Then let me test you!"
Xiao Qingyao moved. With a flick of his body, he lunged towards Elder Gao, an aura like a vast abyss instantly permeating the air!
"Inner Strength Grandmaster!"
Sensing Xiao Qingyao's aura, Elder Gao's expression changed drastically. This was Xiao Qingyao's true strength!
In reality, Xiao Qingyao was not an Inner Strength Grandmaster, but he was relying on this power to temporarily reach the strength of an Inner Strength Grandmaster.
"No, you are merely an Inner Strength Grandmaster who has forcibly boosted his power. Do you think a fake can defeat me?" Elder Gao's vision was sharp, and he instantly spotted Xiao Qingyao's weakness.
"But you are within ten feet of me. Within ten feet, how can you be my opponent?"
Xiao Qingyao sneered.
The temporary boost in strength made speed Xiao Qingyao's weakness, but within ten feet, he could disregard the distance.
"You deliberately set a trap for me!"
Hearing this, Elder Gao's pupils instantly contracted.
He immediately realized that Xiao Qingyao's previous show of weakness was to make him complacent and step within ten feet of Xiao Qingyao.
Retreat!
With this thought, Elder Gao quickly tried to create distance between himself and Xiao Qingyao, but it was too late.
"Unfortunately, you know too late!"
A cold voice echoed.
At some unknown point, Xiao Qingyao's icy face had appeared behind Elder Gao, and a punch landed on Elder Gao's spine.
With a crack, his shoulder blade instantly fractured.
Elder Gao collapsed on the ground, spitting blood.
This was not the end. Xiao Qingyao delivered a heavy kick to Elder Gao's abdomen, sending him flying out of the ring. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his internal organs felt as if they had split apart.
No one had expected that Elder Gao, who had been charging forward moments ago, would be instantly killed by Xiao Qingyao!
This was the majesty of an Inner Strength Grandmaster; even a fake was not to be trifled with.
Below the stage, the crowd was silent, their faces filled with shock.
In the private box, all the wealthy businessmen of Jiangzhou turned ashen, their eyes filled with despair and terror.
Was the Elder Gao whom all the wealthy businessmen had placed their hopes on finished just like that?
Who could save Jiangzhou now?
"Doctor! Please save my grandfather!"
Gao Chuhe had already rushed out of the private box to the ringside. Looking at the blood-covered Elder Gao, her face was filled with panic, but she dared not move. Elder Gao's body was too severely injured.
The boxing gym's doctor also rushed over to examine Elder Gao. After a moment, the doctor said with difficulty, "Elder Gao is bleeding from his seven orifices, has four or five broken ribs, and multiple ruptured kidney organs. I'm afraid even an ambulance might not be able to save him... Miss Gao, please accept my condolences!"
"Ah?"
Gao Chuhe was struck by lightning.
Who could save her grandfather!
...
"Is this the waste Jiangzhou invited?"
"Jiangzhou is still as useless as ever. After more than ten years, they don't even have a top expert. Waste! Waste!"
At this moment, Xiao Qingyao stood on the stage, surveying the crowd with an air of contempt for the world.
The spotlight shone on Xiao Qingyao. Now, Xiao Qingyao spread his hands, like a returning emperor!
He wanted to reclaim everything he had lost!
Facing Xiao Qingyao's humiliation, not a single person dared to utter a word of protest.
Xiao Qingyao's gaze became even more contemptuous, "You don't even dare to speak, you wimps! Since you are all spineless, how about this: all the wealthy businessmen of Jiangzhou come before me and kowtow a hundred times, and I might spare your lives!"
Saying this, Xiao Qingyao swept his disdainful gaze across the people of Jiangzhou, finally settling on the private box where the wealthy businessmen were located.
Inside the private box, there was deathly silence. The wealthy businessmen trembled like quails, almost wetting themselves.
After a moment, someone hesitantly spoke, "D-do we really have to kneel and worship Xiao Qingyao?"
Everyone looked at each other, but many had already conceded in their hearts.
"No, we still have Mr. Chen?"
At this moment, Mayor Huang spoke.
Everyone was stunned.
Alliance Leader Long said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen said Elder Gao couldn't defeat Xiao Qingyao, and this has now been confirmed. Then Mr. Chen must be able to deal with Xiao Qingyao!"
The pale faces, once frightened, finally showed a glimmer of hope.
"That's right, we still have Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen can definitely handle Xiao Qingyao!"
Everyone instinctively looked at Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan was nowhere to be found in the private box.
"Where is Mr. Chen? Did he go to the restroom?" someone frowned.
Huang Yuyan said sharply and sarcastically, "Heh, that guy? He's probably already scared and ran away!"
Many people thought it was normal for Chen Xuan to run away early, after all, that Xiao Qingyao was far stronger than they had imagined.
"Mr. Chen has already gone to confront Xiao Qingyao!"
A voice filled with anger resounded!
Hei Hu, who had been silent, stepped forward, "Whoever dares to slander Mr. Chen, I will make them like this teacup!"
A teacup was fiercely smashed to the ground by Hei Hu, shattering into pieces!
Everyone shivered, and the next moment, they all looked towards the ring. Huang Yuyan was no exception, her pupils instantly constricting.
Chen Xuan had already arrived at the passage and was striding towards the stage.
"Someone, please save my grandfather! I'm willing to offer a hundred million! No, ten billion in reward!"
Beside the passage, Gao Chuhe was holding Elder Gao, tears streaming down her face, her eyes red. "Whoever can save my grandfather, I, Gao Chuhe, am willing to pledge myself to them, and give ten percent of the Gao family's shares!"
At this moment, she was no longer the arrogant eldest daughter of the Gao family. Now, she was just a family member watching her grandfather's life slowly ebb away.
Looking at the dying Elder Gao in her arms, Gao Chuhe felt both ashamed and regretful. If she had listened to Chen Xuan at the time, would it have come to this?
Her not listening to Chen Xuan had indirectly harmed Elder Gao.
How could she not regret it?
Just then, Gao Chuhe felt her vision blur, as if something had flashed before her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and found nothing.
Perhaps it was an illusion.
Gao Chuhe looked at Elder Gao's face, clenching her fists tightly.
No, there must be a way. Hurry to the hospital!
Just as Gao Chuhe began to hope, she suddenly heard the doctor's cheers, "Miss Gao, Elder Gao's condition has improved!"
Gao Chuhe suddenly looked at the doctor, then followed the doctor's gaze down and saw five silver needles inserted into Elder Gao's chest. Her beautiful eyes instantly filled with shock.
It was these five silver needles that had worked!
It must be the effect of these silver needles!
"Did you see who put the silver needles in my grandfather?"
Gao Chuhe knew she hadn't hallucinated just now, she just hadn't seen the person. She looked at the doctor beside her and asked.
"It was him!"
The doctor beside her suddenly raised his hand, pointing at a figure walking towards the stage. "That person had five silver needles in his hand when he walked over, but now they're gone."
"Chen Xuan..."
Gao Chuhe looked over with joy, her expression freezing the next moment.
If it wasn't Chen Xuan, who else could it be?
