Chapter 27: A Bloody Slaughter
Chapter 27: A Bloody Slaughter
A single punch landed.
The sword shadows vanished.
As Chu Tianxiong's body hit the ground, the others finally snapped out of their shock.
Chu Tianxiong's chest was caved in, and he spat out large amounts of blood. He tried to struggle to his feet, but it was futile.
In no time at all, Chu Tianxiong lay still, dead.
Even in death, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, as if he couldn't fathom how he could die so easily.
"Holy shit... Chu Tianxiong is dead!"
"Chu Tianxiong of the Thunderbolt Sword has been in the Blood Refinement Intermediate stage for years. He was almost on par with Blood Refinement Advanced stage warriors, and yet he couldn't withstand a single punch from Gu Qingfeng!"
"One punch to kill Chu Tianxiong. This man must have already reached the Blood Refinement Perfect stage, right?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Gu Qingfeng with a mixture of fear and awe.
A single punch to kill a Blood Refinement Intermediate stage warrior.
It was impossible for them not to be shocked.
Throughout the entire White Stone Path, the number of warriors who had reached the Blood Refinement stage was few, and those who had advanced to the Intermediate stage were among the elite.
Such a powerful warrior, and yet he couldn't withstand a single punch.
The strength of this Gu Family Patriarch filled them with despair.
However, the Chu Family members were even more desperate.
With their only Blood Refinement stage warrior now dead, the remaining members stood no chance against the Gu Family.
At that moment, a commotion arose outside. The crowd that had been surrounding the Chu Family, watching the spectacle, involuntarily stepped back. Then, the leader of the Ironbone Gang, Luo Yu, arrived with a group of experts.
Seeing Chu Tianxiong's caved-in chest and lifeless body, Luo Yu's pupils contracted sharply.
At that moment, a disciple of the Ironbone Gang stepped out from the crowd and whispered a few words into Luo Yu's ear, causing his expression to flicker with uncertainty.
Then, Luo Yu approached Gu Qingfeng and bowed, saying, "I am Luo Yu of the Ironbone Gang. I greet you, Patriarch Gu!"
Before Gu Qingfeng could respond, a Chu Family member rolled forward and began to cry out.
"Leader Luo, Gu Qingfeng brought people here without cause and openly committed murder. Our family's patriarch was killed by this man. We beg you, Leader Luo, to seek justice for us!"
"Please, Leader Luo, seek justice for us—"
The other Chu Family members joined in, their voices filled with hatred and murderous intent as they glared at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng remained expressionless, his cold eyes scanning the Chu Family members before turning to Luo Yu.
"Leader Luo, bringing so many people here, are you planning to stand up for the Chu Family?"
These words offered no respect to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu's eyes turned cold, and the faint smile on his face vanished. "In the world of martial arts, the Ironbone Gang should not interfere in disputes. However, the Chu Family has some ties with the Ironbone Gang. Patriarch Gu, you killed their patriarch without cause. You need to give an explanation!"
"An explanation?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at Luo Yu as if he had just heard a joke, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Is your Ironbone Gang even worthy of an explanation from me?"
"Blasphemy! How dare you show disrespect to the leader—"
As soon as these words were spoken, an Ironbone Gang warrior shouted in anger.
But before he could finish, a blur appeared before his eyes, followed by a powerful gust of wind.
"Boom!"
Gu Qingfeng's palm struck down, and the man's head was forced into his neck, blood gushing out as he died instantly.
The sudden turn of events sent shockwaves through everyone.
Luo Yu burst into a rage. "Gu Qingfeng, how dare you!"
Before he could finish, ...
Lu Yu took a step forward, his vital energy erupting into a rolling cloud of smoke. His right fist shot out with a force that seemed to split the heavens, a power capable of shattering mountains and rocks, sending chills down the spines of all who witnessed it.
The Invincible God Fist!
Lu Yu!
His iron fists were his most formidable weapons.
"Excellent!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold, and his vital energy burst forth, a terrifying blood aura soaring into the sky.
If Lu Yu's vital energy smoke reached only a few yards in height, then Gu Qingfeng's smoke towered at over thirty feet, blood aura enveloping the heavens and earth, radiating a scorching heat.
"Impossible!"
Seeing the overwhelming vital energy smoke, Lu Yu's expression changed dramatically, shock flooding his face.
But he had no time to think, as Gu Qingfeng's attack was already upon him.
A powerful palm strike, with a palm as hot as a searing iron, collided with Lu Yu's fist. An explosive force erupted between them, but Gu Qingfeng stood firm, immovable like a rock.
On the other side, Lu Yu felt a terrifying heat surge from the collision, invading his body with brutal force. The powerful backlash sent him reeling backward, retreating several steps.
"You... cough!"
Lu Yu opened his mouth to speak, but the heat had already invaded his vital organs, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
He had been defeated!
The leader of the Iron Bone Gang, Lu Yu, had been defeated in a single exchange.
This scene was even more shocking than when Gu Qingfeng had killed Chu Tianxiong with a single punch earlier.
Who was Lu Yu?
One of the top warriors of White Stone Road, he had founded the Iron Bone Gang through his own strength, his divine fists unmatched by most in the region.
Yet, such a formidable warrior had been defeated in a single exchange by Gu Qingfeng, leaving everyone in awe of the latter's strength.
"This is your strength? I must say, I'm somewhat disappointed."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, his face filled with regret.
He had expected the renowned Lu Yu to be much stronger, but it turned out to be nothing special.
Lu Yu's strength was at best on par with his own a month ago.
Now, with the Sun God Palm perfected to the ninth level and his cultivation reaching the semi-Bone Refinement stage, warriors like Lu Yu were no longer a threat to him.
"Do you have any last words to say?"
"Cough... cough... The Chu family's affairs will no longer concern the Iron Bone Gang. I hope you, Lord Gu, will spare my life!"
Lu Yu's face was deathly pale, and he had no regard for his dignity as the leader of a gang, enduring the burning pain in his vital organs as he pleaded for mercy.
Hearing his words, Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
"Is that your last wish?"
As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng took slow, deliberate steps toward Lu Yu.
Seeing this, Lu Yu's face turned frantic. "You can't kill me! I have the backing of the Martial King. If you kill me, the Martial King will not let you off!"
Ignoring the threat, Gu Qingfeng delivered a palm strike, shattering Lu Yu's head. The once-mighty leader of the Iron Bone Gang was no more.
With Lu Yu slain, Gu Qingfeng turned his gaze to the remaining members of the Iron Bone Gang and the Chu family, a cruel and icy smile playing on his lips.
"Kill! Not a single soul from the Iron Bone Gang or the Chu family will be left alive today!"
As the words left his lips, Gu Qingfeng unleashed a wave of deadly force.
