Chapter 194 A Heart Like a Fierce Tiger, Burning with Fierce Flames

Los House.

Inside the hall, a grand feast was held, with drums and music playing in unison, as well as light singing and dancing. The aroma of wine and the fragrance of women mingled together, intoxicating the heart and soul.

With a slightly tipsy expression, Qian Xin expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much for the hospitality of Chief Luo."

This was not a victory celebration banquet, but a farewell banquet. With the recruitment of martial artists concluded, Luo Yuanxiu had specially prepared a sumptuous feast to bid farewell to Qian Xin and the other two.

Luo Yuanxiu smiled broadly and replied, "Lord Xin, you're too kind."

With fine wine and beautiful women by their side, the two groups chatted about everything under the sun, and when they reached an elegant point, they were already calling each other brothers.

This lively scene didn't last long before it was interrupted by an anxious voice: "Chieftain, something bad has happened! Someone has broken in!"

In an instant, the singing and dancing stopped, and Luo Yuanxiu's face immediately turned serious.

Only a few days have passed, and yet another person has trespassed into the Luo residence?

If it weren't for Qian Xin and the others being there, he would have cursed them without hesitation, angrily rebuking these guards, asking if they were all just good-for-nothings.
"Who goes there?" Luo Jinan's slightly indifferent voice rang out from the sidelines.

The guard said anxiously, "I don't know. He claimed he wanted to see you, Chieftain."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared behind him—it was Su Chen.

Just as Qiao Qiliang had guessed, Su Chen, who appeared calm on the surface, was already seething with anger inside.

He had no intention of plotting step by step, secretly attacking the Luo family, and avenging them, as Qiao Qiliang had envisioned.

He walked into the Luo residence in a way that Qiao Qiliang had never expected!

The anger in my heart can only be quelled by killing.

This time, he didn't intend to assassinate them; he wanted to kill them openly and let these clans witness his prowess!

Life offers few opportunities for indulgence; what's wrong with indulging in a moment of impulsiveness?

Su Chen flung the guards aside and walked into the main hall, his cold gaze sweeping across Qian Xin and the others before settling on Luo Yuanxiu and his son.

His face was calm, revealing no emotion, but the moment he entered, everyone present trembled, and the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees.

"Who are you?" Luo Jinan and Luo Yuanxiu exchanged a glance, then Luo Jinan stepped forward and asked.

While questioning him, he scrutinized Su Chen with a critical gaze, his brows gradually furrowing. He even felt a faint pressure emanating from Su Chen.

This was somewhat unbelievable to him; he had never felt this way about his peers before, not even the heirs of the Yun and Liang families.

Su Chen did not reply, and the quiet hall became somewhat oppressive. Luo Jin'an's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

At this moment, the steward of the Luo family recognized Su Chen and revealed his background: "Reporting to the clan leader, young clan leader, this person is the deputy leader of the Four Seas Gang, named Su Chen."

“Su Chen, the vice leader of the Four Seas Gang?” Luo Jinan was taken aback upon hearing this, then chuckled, “First it was the gang leader Qiao Qiliang, and now it’s the vice leader Su Chen. As expected, like father, like son. They have no manners and are a bunch of ill-mannered people!”

Luo Yuanxiu's expression was equally displeased. He questioned, "Vice Gang Leader Su, what brings you here uninvited? If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Luo residence so easily."

“Even if Qiao Qiliang and Qiao Renzhou came, it wouldn’t make a difference!” Luo Jinan added.

Qian Xin and the others sat quietly to the side, looking at the unmoved Su Chen, and shook their heads slightly. They had finally learned about Qiao Qiliang's way of managing people.

Not only are they worlds apart from them, but they are also vastly inferior to clans like the Luo family.

Does Qiao Qiliang think that sending a deputy gang leader can salvage the situation? This is nothing short of humiliating himself.

The three of them watched the farce with great interest, though they were not entirely disdainful.

However, I'm not particularly interested in how this farce will ultimately end.

"Are you Luo Jin'an?"

A voice broke the silence, and Su Chen looked at Luo Jin'an and asked.

"So what if it is?" Luo Jinan replied noncommittally.

Su Chen turned to Luo Yuanxiu and asked, "Are you Luo Yuanxiu?"

Luo Yuanxiu remained silent, but Luo Jinan grew impatient: "What exactly do you want?"

However, Su Chen seemed not to hear him and continued to ask, "Was it you who put Li Mo on the list?"

"Heh, if you're just here to ask these nonsense questions, then shut up." Luo Jin'an stood up angrily, waved his hand, and called to the guards, "Guards, seize him! I want to teach Qiao Qiliang a good lesson on how to discipline his subordinates."

Upon receiving the order, the guards waiting at the door transformed into two streams of people and surged into the hall, surrounding Su Chen completely.

Luo Jinan slowly stepped forward, a cold smile playing on his lips. He stood before Su Chen and said disdainfully, "You should thank Qiao Qiliang. If it weren't for him, you would have been sent to the front lines long ago. Whether you live or die would have been up to fate!"

"Did you injure Qiao Qiliang?" Su Chen slowly raised his lowered eyelids, and no one noticed the surging killing intent deep in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Luo Jinan suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, so what? This good-for-nothing..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and Luo Jin'an felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a gust of wind rushing towards him.

To his horror, Su Chen appeared silently in front of him, then reached out his icy hand, grabbed his throat, and slowly raised him up.

"You're nothing special, I'll kill you!"

Su Chen's voice, as if from a demon, rang out, each word carrying a chilling coldness that made Luo Jin'an feel suffocated and a sense of fear rise in his heart.

"stop!"

Su Chen acted too quickly; by the time everyone reacted, his hand was already gripping Luo Jin'an's neck.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yuanxiu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily.

Click.

However, he was met with the crisp sound of his neck snapping.

Su Chen actually snapped Luo Jin'an's neck in front of everyone!
The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned, speechless as they stared at the scene before them.

Luo Jin'an's head slumped down as if it had lost its support, his face full of astonishment, seemingly not expecting Su Chen to act so decisively and swiftly.

"presumptuous!"

After a brief moment of distraction, Luo Yuanxiu's eyes blazed with fury, and his voice, filled with murderous intent, resounded like thunder throughout the hall.

He stared at the dead Luo Jin'an with bloodshot eyes, and when he saw his unseeing eyes, a strong killing intent quickly crept onto his face.

Just as he was about to make a move to capture and kill Su Chen, Su Chen suddenly threw Luo Jin'an's corpse at Luo Yuanxiu as if it were trash.

As if he had done something completely ordinary, a detached voice rang out: "I've always been this unrestrained!"

"How dare you kill someone in front of us! You have no respect for the law!"

"To kill someone in public is an even more serious crime."

Two loud shouts rang out simultaneously, with Qian Xin and Qian Ren speaking in unison.

Qian Xin stepped forward, displaying the majesty of the prefect's personal guard, glared angrily at Su Chen, and rebuked him: "For Qiao Renzhou's sake, I'll give you a chance. Surrender obediently, or you'll be executed on the spot!"

Su Chen, whose attention was originally on Luo Yuanxiu, suddenly turned to Qian Xin after hearing these words.

The moment their eyes met, Qian Xin felt a chill run down his spine and surprisingly took a half-step back.

When he realized what was happening, an angry look immediately appeared on his face.

Just then, Su Chen took a step forward, moving like a rabbit, and made his move in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Qian Xin was furious: "I think you're tired of living. Even if Qiao Renzhou comes in person today, don't even think about saving you. You deserve to die!"

Snapped!
A crisp slap suddenly rang out, and a powerful gust of wind slapped mercilessly across Qian Xin's face.

At that moment, all his teeth burst into powder, and his face swelled up like a blood-red steamed bun.

Even those at the fifth level of the Blood Transformation Realm couldn't withstand Su Chen's palm strike, let alone Qian Xin, who was only at the fourth level of the Blood Transformation Realm.

So the instant he was hit, Qian Xin was completely powerless to resist and was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

Upon landing, its breath was almost completely depleted, resembling a piece of minced meat, barely clinging to life.

However, Su Chen had no intention of letting Qian Xin go. He leaped forward and appeared in front of Qian Xin, stomping down on him.

Upon seeing this, the group was greatly shocked.

"you dare?!"

"stop!"

Two shouts rang out simultaneously, and Qian Ren and Qian Gui rose up in fury, their faces covered in frost.

Su Chen's foot didn't stop for a moment, stepping on Qian Xin's neck. Although he didn't use much force, it still caused the already seriously injured Qian Xin to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He looked up at the two of them with a stern expression, shook his head decisively, and said in a voice as cold as a knife: "I dare not."

His actions, however, were completely unexpected!

Click!

The two breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but the next moment, they saw Su Chen exert force and break Qian Xin's neck.

"Bastard!"

This situation caused the two to burst into a tirade of insults.

Ignoring the two, Su Chen turned his gaze directly to Luo Yuanxiu; he hadn't forgotten why he'd come today. "You old bastard, if you've had your fill, come over here and face your death!"

Its sound was like thunder, its tone like wind and fire, resounding far and wide.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuanxiu flew into a rage, slowly lowered Luo Jin'an's body, and roared, "You're courting death!"

After speaking, Luo Yuanxiu took a step forward, leaving behind an afterimage, and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Su Chen's gaze was calm and he showed no fear as he faced the attack head-on.

boom!
"what?"

The two clashed instantly, and Luo Yuanxiu was horrified to feel Su Chen's strength, which was no weaker than his own.

"Move the Blood to the Fifth Realm!"

He subconsciously thought that Su Chen had already entered the Meridian Opening stage, but he quickly realized that Su Chen was only at the Fifth Stage of Blood Transfer.

But this surprised him even more. How could the Blood Transformation Fifth Realm be able to withstand 80% of his Meridian Opening Realm strength?

Ignoring Luo Yuanxiu's shock, Su Chen waved his arm, deflecting the Yuan energy attack on it.

Unlike other martial artists, those who have mastered meridians can mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to attack. Compared to internal force, the attack power of internal force is significantly stronger.

"I'd like to see how many times you can block this!"

Luo Yuanxiu's eyes narrowed, he let out a cold shout, and then charged forward again.

His arm trembled slightly, and a faint blue Yuan energy flowed out, instantly condensing on his arm and rippling with blue waves.

He clenched his five fingers into a palm, raised his arm suddenly, and with a soft shout, he struck out with a palm, unleashing a powerful surge of Yuan energy like a tidal wave.

Even the air was compressed, making a crackling sound.

Seeing this, Su Chen remained calm and mobilized his internal energy, releasing a terrifying surge of power in an instant.

Unlike Luo Yuanxiu, who merely concentrated his Yuan power in his arm, Su Chen seemed to be enveloped in a halo formed by his energy.

In less than a few breaths, it grew from a fraction of an inch to an inch, and from an inch to a foot, like a thick cocoon, completely enveloping Su Chen.

This astonishing scene left everyone present speechless, filled with utter astonishment.

What the hell is going on?
Why would a Blood-Transporting Warrior possess such formidable strength?

Ordinary blood-transferring martial artists are already outstanding if they can attach their strength to their entire body. If they can attach it to a thickness of one inch around their body, they are already among the top.

Even when he was moving the Blood Realm, he couldn't reach a thickness of one inch.

But what he saw now was not an inch, but a foot, a force a full foot thick!

If it weren't broad daylight, he would have really thought he was seeing a ghost!

"This child is terrifyingly powerful; he must not be allowed to live!"

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Luo Yuanxiu revealed a chilling killing intent.

The Blood Transformation Realm allows one to ignore Yuan Power attacks, demonstrating such profound strength. Once one breaks through, their power will undoubtedly be unfathomable.

Luo Yuanxiu's killing intent reached its peak at this moment.

Whether it's to avenge Luo Jin'an or for the sake of his family, Su Chen must die!

boom!
The deep sound, like giant waves crashing against rocks, echoed in all directions, creating waves of air, and even a sonic boom.

Terrifying sound waves spread at a visible speed, and boundless force and energy raged and dispersed.

The surrounding tables and chairs could no longer withstand the pressure and broke frequently, turning into wood chips and dust under the impact of the force and energy.

Centered around the two, a terrible storm was formed that could not be quelled for a long time.

Those who were close by, including Qian Ren, couldn't help but step back, their eyes, barely open, overflowing with astonishment.

"Come again!"

The brief exchange did not result in a victory or defeat, but instead stimulated the surging fighting spirit in Su Chen's heart.

He murmured, then moved his arms, the force rapidly coiling around them, moving like a dragon.

In the end, they all floated in front, transforming into a curtain of golden needles.

A vast array of golden needles appeared before Luo Yuanxiu's eyes, causing him to stiffen: "This is... the Profound Heart Myriad Wonders Technique!"

As the patriarch of the Luo clan, how could he not know about the Myriad Wonders of the Profound Heart, which is known as the source of all kinds of power transformations?

He even considered himself extraordinary and had learned such techniques.

However, the final result greatly disappointed him; he had only managed to gather about a hundred golden needles.

Compared to the number of golden needles that Su Chen had filled the entire space, they were like a small witch compared to a great wizard; they were not even in the same league.

"Hahaha, so what if you've mastered the Profound Heart Myriad Wonders Style? You, a mere Blood Transformation Realm martial artist, dare to attempt to kill me? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see what qualifications you have!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Yuanxiu burst into laughter, completely disregarding Su Chen.

However, his quick defensive movements inadvertently revealed his high regard for Su Chen.

The golden needle quickly condensed and took shape, then floated in mid-air.

With a soft shout from Su Chen, hundreds of golden needles began to buzz and roar, then transformed into thousands of beams of light that swept across the sky and the earth.

The howling, muffled thunder-like sounds rose and fell, causing Luo Yuan to catch his breath. His expression remained unchanged; he had already made full preparations.

With his hands outstretched, a pale blue barrier of elemental energy condensed in front of him, flowing as if it were a tangible substance.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Sharp golden needles, gleaming with endless cold light, shot out and landed on the Yuan Power Barrier, rippling outwards, but they did not cause any harm to Luo Yuanxiu.

Just as Luo Yuanxiu was feeling smug, the golden needles that had been shooting straight ahead suddenly changed direction as Su Chen moved his arm, and attacked Luo Yuanxiu from behind.

This scene left him speechless; could the golden needle actually bend?
Before he could even be surprised, he retreated rapidly until he had nowhere left to go, then clenched his fist and unleashed a devastating attack in all directions.

Bang bang bang!
Yuan energy condensed on the fist, shaking the surroundings. As the iron fist was unleashed, the golden needles shattered like bubbles.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the hundreds of golden needles were defeated by Luo Yuanxiu.

Luo Yuanxiu withdrew his fist and looked at Su Chen with a cold smile.

Seeing this, Su Chen remained calm and once again mobilized his internal energy, condensing hundreds of golden needles.

But this time, they were no longer scattered; instead, they merged together in an instant during the attack.

"Ok?"

This sudden change startled Luo Yuanxiu. Su Chen's control over the Myriad Mysteries of the Profound Heart had truly reached a state of perfection.

They merged so quickly, and at such an astonishing speed!
It has to be said that even he felt a sense of inferiority.

However, he still had to die!
Luo Yuanxiu snorted coldly. If he could defeat him once, he could defeat him a second time.

Whether the gold needles are scattered or fused together, their fate is the same.

Luo Yuanxiu clenched his fist again and unleashed a punch. Terrifying Yuan energy surged through his arm and burst forth the instant it was fully unleashed.

At the same time, the golden pillar of energy condensed from Su Chen's golden needles also slammed down, its violent power enough to tear the air apart.

boom!
The moment the fist collided with the golden pillar, a deafening sound resounded throughout the hall, and an invisible yet terrifying impact swept up a cloud of dust.

Everything within a ten-meter radius was crushed by this enormous impact.

Those who were weak were unable to withstand this power and were directly shaken until they bled from all seven orifices.

Even Qian Ren and the others, despite having the strength to protect them, were still shaken so badly that their eardrums trembled and their blood and qi surged within them for a long time.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After a long while, before the dust had settled, a muffled cough came from the direction where Luo Yuanxiu was.

Luo Yuanxiu's body was bent over, and the clothes on his arms were completely destroyed, revealing conspicuous scars all over his skin.

He coughed a few times, staring blankly ahead, never expecting that he would almost be unable to withstand Su Chen's attack.

What he found unbelievable also infuriated him.

In particular, he looked disheveled, while Su Chen stood unharmed in front of him, watching him with extremely calm eyes.

In his view, this was undoubtedly a humiliation!
Luo Yuanxiu's face was grim, filled with rage and murderous intent. He said coldly, "Your strength should be exhausted, right? To achieve this level with the Blood Transformation Realm is enough to make me look at you with new respect. Even if you die, it will be worth it. However..."

He abruptly changed the subject, his voice icy cold:

"However, today I will not only make you bleed on the spot, but after I kill you, I will also wipe out your entire family and friends."

Didn't you want to stand up for Li Mo?
When the time comes, I will send someone to secretly eliminate Li Mo, and then torture his family to the point of wishing they were dead.

Oh, and I also intend to slaughter your master and junior sister! Hahaha…”

Luo Yuanxiu burst into laughter, completely unaware that with each word he spoke, the murderous intent in Su Chen's eyes intensified.

In the end, it completely filled the pupils, covered the face, and occupied the body, like a volcano about to erupt, shooting into the sky.

The next moment, Su Chen could no longer hold back and charged out.
