My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 55: Still Killed with Three Punches!

Wu Qingzhou's face suddenly changed.

His smile disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and cold expression as he lowly shouted, "To beat a dog, one must look at its master."

"The person who killed me, Chen Wuji, how many heads do you have to match up with!?"

"Today, I will tell you..."

"Nonsense!"

Chen Wuji coldly interrupted, ignoring Wu Qingzhou's fiery gaze, and looked at a middle-aged man next to him, who had a strong physique and an almost tangible aura of killing. He calmly spoke, "You are the backstage of this dog who loves to perform, right?"

"What did you say!?"

Wu Qingzhou's face darkened as if it could drip water, and he growled, "Chen Wuji, I wanted to give you a chance to be a dog, but you are so ungrateful. Fine, you want to die, right? I'll grant your wish!"

"Elder Zhong, please kill him!"

"As long as the person surnamed Chen dies, all the assets of the Hidden Dragon Gate will be yours!"

"By the way, the person surnamed Chen has excellent lightness skills, already reaching the pinnacle level."

"Excellent lightness skills?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he grinned, and his face was full of smiles as he stepped forward.

"Having reached the pinnacle level in lightness skills is indeed impressive."

"Unfortunately, when you encounter me, no matter how high your level is, it's useless."

"Because you won't even have a chance to display it!"

As he spoke, he walked while opening his hand, taking a large ghost-headed knife from the attendant beside him and removing the cloth wrapped around the blade.

"Chen Wuji of the Hidden Dragon Gate, I have heard of you. Not long ago, you killed 'King of Spears' Luo Butu in the street, right?"

"That's... that's right!" Chen Yifan, who had climbed up from the ground, endured the pain in his body and looked at Wu Qingzhou with fear and anger. Then, his gaze fell on the middle-aged man, and he lowly shouted, "Who are you? Helping Wu Qingzhou, don't you know you're aiding the evildoer?"

"He is Bai Ren Tu, Zhong Daniu."

Chen Wuji remained expressionless and calmly said, "Former executioner, now a lackey of the Qingye Gang. He has reached the Eighth Layer of Body Refining and still serves as a dog. It's truly eye-opening."

"It's Zhong Daoniu!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he shouted, "Chen Wuji, don't be too arrogant. The Seventh Layer of Body Refining is not enough for you to despise others everywhere."

"Have I despised you?"

Chen Wuji remained indifferent. "Weren't you an executioner before? Now, you've joined the Qingye Gang and become a lackey of Wu Qingzhou and his son."

"You..."

"The Qingye Gang swallowed up most of the assets left by the Xiong Gang and took over their territory. That's why they had the money to recruit you and make you join them." Chen Wuji continued, "But do you know how much money they actually swallowed? And how much did they give you?"

"Chen Wuji, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Wu Qingzhou's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Elder Zhong, don't waste time talking to him. Kill him, kill him, and the assets of the Hidden Dragon Gate will be yours!"

"Kill him! Destroy him!"

"The Chenji Restaurant of the Hidden Dragon Gate is making a fortune. If you take it over, you'll strike it rich!"

"And the Chen Family Mansion is also worth a lot."

"If I had enough strength, I would have killed Chen Wuji long ago..."

..."

Behind Wu Qingzhou, a group of gang members cheered and shouted.

Zhong Daoniu heard it, greed flashed in his eyes. Holding the ghost-headed knife, he swiftly rushed forward.

"Chen Wuji, no matter how much you talk, you can't avoid dying under the blade of my ghost-headed knife today!"

Whoosh~

A gust of wind blew.

The rusty ghost-headed knife gleamed, carrying a terrifying aura of death and killing. In the piercing and sharp whistle, it entered Chen Wuji's sight.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The air tore apart, and the blade's aura raged.

The ghost-headed knife, which was almost at its fastest, suddenly burst forth with a terrifying killing intent that made one's heart tremble, blocking all of Chen Wuji's retreat routes.

An invisible but bone-chilling killing intent directly pierced Chen Wuji's brain.

Under the Mental Intent of the Eighth Layer of Body Refining and Nurturing Spirit, it almost merged with the knife's momentum, just a step away from Knife Intent.

And it is pure killing intent.

No emotions, the extreme cold-bloodedness of a butcher!

If it were someone else, an ordinary Body Refining Eighth Layer, facing this erupting killing intent, their mind would have been captivated.

But not Chen Wuji.

Even though he had not entered the True Qi Realm and was still at the Body Refining Eighth Layer, the power of the artistic conception brought about by the mastery of multiple techniques and martial skills was enough to counterbalance it.

The same was true now, deliberately suppressing his cultivation at the Body Refining Eighth Layer, when the Ghost Head Blade descended.

His body slightly shifted, and his right fist swiftly smashed out.

Bang!

A dull sound reverberated through the street.

Without True Qi covering his iron fist, it smashed into the Ghost Head Blade, instantly sending it flying and freeing Zhong Daoniu.

Bang!

Without giving Zhong Daoniu time to react, the second punch followed closely, hammering into Zhong Daoniu's chest. The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed in the ears of the crowd.

Accompanied by the muffled sound, Zhong Daoniu's burly body flew off the ground and flew backwards.

However, just as he flew out two steps, Chen Wuji caught up again and delivered a third punch.

Bang!!

Crash~

The terrifying force seemed to twist into one, pouring down on Zhong Daoniu, tearing him apart into pieces. With the blood rain, the pieces were thrown into the air and fell back to the ground with a "plap, plap" sound.

The sticky sound resounded in the ears of Wu Qingzhou, the Qingye gang members, and the onlookers.

In the short street, as the last piece of the corpse landed, silence fell, and you could hear a pin drop.

He's dead...

Once a low-level official, he had the opportunity to transform from an executioner into the famous "Butcher of a Hundred People" in the martial world. Zhong Daoniu, a Body Refining Eighth Layer, died just like that!

Three punches!

Just like when he killed Luo Butu, Chen Wuji only used three punches to kill Zhong Daoniu on the street.

And compared to last time, Luo Butu's body was still relatively intact.

This time, Zhong Daoniu was directly torn apart like a torn bag with a single punch!

Silence.

A breeze blew, carrying the smell of blood.

In the quiet street, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

"Get out of the way, everyone get out of my way!"

Gudong~

Hearing the shouts of the constable, Wu Qingzhou suddenly trembled, snapped back to his senses, his legs trembling, and looked at Chen Wuji in horror.

"You... you're at the Body Refining Eighth Layer!"

His tone completely lost the previous arrogance and pride, instead, his voice became sharp and cracked.

Chen Wuji glanced at him.

Wu Qingzhou immediately felt a chill all over his body, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Go, go, run!"

Screaming, Wu Qingzhou turned around and ran.

The group of gang members who followed also regained their senses and fled for their lives at the first opportunity.

The stunned girl was left behind and dared not grab hold of them anymore.

In the midst of the uproar of the onlookers, they scattered.

Except for Zhao Kongchuang on the outermost periphery, and the burly man standing beside him.

"A perfect level of lightness technique, Body Refining Eighth Layer cultivation."

"Lao Yan, do you think this Chen Wuji might be the person who stole the secret manual?"
