At the center of the overwhelming pressure where Su Chen stood, he remained unflinching, seemingly unaffected in the slightest.
Just then, the figure in the purple robe flashed, imdiately darting towards Su Chen like a lingering shadow.
Sohow, a whip had appeared in his hand, about two ters long, wrapped in cowhide with a layer of small steel rings encircling it. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
Just looking at such a whip was enough to send a shiver down one's spine, let alone the damage it would inflict upon striking flesh—a guarantee of skin tearing and flesh bursting!
What was even more terrifying was that three sharp hooks dangled from the tail end of the whip!
Suddenly, the man in the purple robe lashed out with the whip toward Su Chen, its trajectory incredibly strange!
The whip tore through the air, bringing forth a burst of strong wind and crackling sounds as True Yuan radiated from it, casting a faint milky glow.
Su Chen watched the ferocious whip hurtle towards him yet casually extended a hand as if reaching out to catch a leaf falling from a tree!
When the man in the purple robe saw this, a cold sneer imdiately curled the corners of his mouth.
This young man is far too arrogant, thinking you understand the power of my whip?
But in the next instant, the man in the purple robe stood completely dumbstruck, his face a mask of idiocy and shock, as if he had seen a ghost!
Because he saw—the young man in front of him had indeed caught his whip so nonchalantly!
What shocked him even more was that after the young man caught the whip, he could no longer control it in his hand!
The purple-robed man was most proud of his skill with the whip!
He never imagined that not only could this young man effortlessly catch his full-force strike but also control the whip, rendering him unable to wield it!
At that mont, Su Chen gently pulled, drawing the whip towards himself, and the man in the purple robe, following the force, was pulled closer to Su Chen!
In an instant, he was only three to four ters away from Su Chen, which shocked the man, and he imdiately sensed the danger.
He hastily let go of the whip, attempting to retreat and put so distance between himself and Su Chen!
But it was already too late, as Su Chen struck out with a palm from afar, and a surge of robust True Yuan burst forth!
"Ahh~~~"
The man in the purple robe was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing into the stairs and finally landing heavily on the ground.
The two iron posts of the staircase were completely deford from the impact, indicating the imnse force of the collision!
As the man in the purple robe fell to the ground, he couldn't help but look down and saw a bowl-sized hole in his abdon, his intestines already spilling out; he knew he was about to die...
"You... actually have... Qi Refinent... Eighth Layer..."
At this mont, he looked up at the young man, his eyes full of terror!
He clearly sensed that the thickness of the True Yuan released by the young man could only be achieved by soone above the Qi Refinent Eighth Layer!
This fact completely overturned his understanding; a man in his twenties with cultivation above the Qi Refinent Eighth Layer was simply inconceivable!
He also realized that the Wu Family had truly provoked soone they shouldn't have, and they would likely pay a steep price for it!
However, these concerns were no longer his to bear, for before he could finish his sentence, he had already taken his last breath...
If he had known that Su Chen had held back and not used his full strength, one wonders if he would have been scared back to life...
After dealing with these people, Su Chen quickly checked on Mother Wang's condition and, finding her just unconscious, was relieved. However, he didn't wake her up imdiately but instead carried her to the sofa.
Then Su Chen drove the car to the door, loaded the bodies into it.
He then returned to clean the bloodstains in the house to prevent Mother Wang or Lin Ruoxue from being frightened upon their awakening or return!
Having finished these chores, he drove to a secluded spot to dispose of the corpses...
When Su Chen returned ho, Lin Ruoxue had not yet co back, and Mother Wang was still unconscious...
Su Chen took out a silver needle and pricked Mother Wang's Heavenly Court acupoint; a few seconds later, she slowly woke up!
"Thieves, there are thieves!"
Mother Wang exclaid excitedly as she awoke.
"Mother Wang, I scared the thief away," Su Chen said, holding her hand and smiling.
"Ah, son-in-law, you're back!"
It took Mother Wang a mont to notice Su Chen.
"Son-in-law, did you see those thieves too?"
"Yes, they were about to steal when I ca back. I scared them away, and they all jumped out the window and ran."
"That's good, that's good."
Mother Wang said, looking at Su Chen:
```
"Son-in-law, you wouldn't believe it, I was sitting down for dinner when suddenly soone knocked out from behind. Thieves these days are so bold, still daring to steal with people at ho!"
"It really was daring, but it's good that you're okay, Wang Ma."
Su Chen chid in with a chuckling response.
"Son-in-law, did we lose anything at ho?"
Wang Ma was still a bit worried.
"No, no, you can rest easy!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
"That's good then."
Wang Ma was reassured, but then she suddenly slapped her thigh and exclaid:
"Oh no, I haven't finished cooking dinner yet!"
Imdiately, Wang Ma hurried back into the kitchen to busily resu her work...
......
It was the sa nightclub, the sa private room where Liu Qing, Lin Chao, and Ma Yuemin once again gathered.
However, today they weren't as high-spirited as before, their faces expressing a mix of heaviness and dejection!
"Lin Chao, your family's patriarch is way too biased," Ma Yuemin comnted with a hint of sarcasm:
"You're the eldest legitimate grandson, yet he transferred all his shares to Lin Ruoxue alone!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chao's expression grew even darker. Indeed, the fact that the old man gave all his shares to his granddaughter Lin Ruoxue was a clear slap in the face to him, the eldest grandson!
"Yeah, Lin Chao, how did your family's patriarch suddenly make such a decision?" Liu Qing also asked with so confusion.
"I suspect the old man has guessed that it was our doing with the poison, but due to family ties, he refrained from taking any drastic actions," Lin Chao said, frowning deeply:
"By doing this, he hopes to crush our ambitions. After all, this puts Lin Ruoxue in absolute control of the shares."
"But you really went too far, not even sparing your own grandfather!" Ma Yuemin said lightly, glancing at Lin Chao with an ironic twist of his mouth.
After that horrific incident, Ma Yuemin had beco much more radical and cared less about others' feelings when he spoke.
Before, he would never have made such a remark to soone's face, but now, he was indifferent.
As expected, Lin Chao exploded as soon as he heard Ma Yuemin's words.
"What are you implying, Mr. Ma?!"
"Isn't it obvious? You're shooting yourself in the foot," Ma Yuemin retorted disdainfully with a sneer.
Lin Chao's face imdiately clouded over with anger, and his fists clenched tightly...
Seeing the two on the verge of conflict, Liu Qing quickly tried to diate:
"Gentlen, please, let's be reasonable. We're all on the sa side. What's this all about!"
Being the Liu Family's heir, Liu Qing's words carried significant weight:
"Brother Ma, what you said just now was indeed inappropriate. After all, Lin Chao is one of us," Liu Qing said calmly to Ma Yuemin.
As Ma Yuemin was about to respond, Liu Qing gestured with his hand, and Ma Yuemin swallowed his words.
Liu Qing then turned to Lin Chao and said:
"I have to say, Lin Chao, your strategy of using poison wasn't very wise. I told you to handle your family's patriarch, not to kill him!"
"And what do you an by that?" Lin Chao responded irritably, feeling as if Liu Qing was just harping on after the event:
"You don't know how much the old man valued that girl, Lin Ruoxue. It was almost impossible to get his support for . Otherwise, why would I have done sothing with such high risks?"
"Lin Chao, why do you always focus on the patriarch? Why can't you think about the problem from a different angle?" Liu Qing said slowly, his eyes narrowing with a fleeting glint of cold shrewdness passing through them...
