43: Chapter 43 Jiangnan Undergoes a Change of Fortune, A Gift Upon Meeting

"Walking right into a trap?"

The newcomer revealed a sinister sneer and said dismissively, "With just those trash security guards from your company, I could knock them all down with a single finger."

As he spoke, he pressed forward toward Shen Bier step by step.

Feeling the Killing Intent radiating from the man, Shen Bier couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Chen.

"Don't worry, with me here, he cannot hurt you."

Jiang Chen gently patted Shen Bier's shoulder, comforting her.

Shen Bier found that Jiang Chen's voice had an indescribable magic to it, instantly calming her nervous and uneasy heart.

"Kid, what kind of thing are you?"

The man sized up Jiang Chen with a look of disdain, his Killing Intent surging.

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "It doesn't matter who I am, but killing an Inner Strength Martial Artist like you is easy for me."

"You are courting death!"

The man's expression changed abruptly, and the murderous intent in his eyes surged. "Kid, I will twist your head off to use as a chamber pot, then mince you into a thousand pieces, and throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

He spoke each word clearly, radiating a towering Evil Qi.

Shen Bier had never felt such terrifying Evil Qi and was scared pale.

"Oh, is that so?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, then suddenly raised his right hand, shaping his fingers into a blade and slashing across his chest.

A beam of Golden Flame radiance shot out from his palm, carving a mark several meters long into the ground.

"Rip!"

The coffee table between Jiang Chen and the man broke into two with a boom, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

This mark extended all the way to the man's feet.

The man's pupils contracted sharply.

At this moment, there was no longer any hint of Killing Intent on his face, replaced instead by an expression of boundless horror.

"Internal Energy projection... are you a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

As if using all his strength, the man shifted his gaze from the mark on the ground to Jiang Chen, his voice trembling.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster can project Internal Energy to kill from ten zhang away, possessing the power of a hundred-pace divine fist.

The man had not expected that there would be such a terrifying powerhouse by Shen Bier's side. He turned abruptly and ran desperately toward the office door.

"Mr. Jiang, he is trying to escape!"

Shen Bier exclaimed upon seeing this.

Of course, the man had to escape.

The man standing before him was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, an existence standing at the peak of martial arts.

He was only an Inner Strength Martial Artist; how could he be an opponent?

His older brother was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and he knew the terror of a Grandmaster well.

They were truly beings who could turn breath into steel and kill from a distance.

Let alone one of him, even ten of him here would not be enough for this man to kill.

"For this person to be so young and yet have already stepped into the Grandmaster Realm is simply inconceivable."

"My brother is such a heaven-sent Genius, and he only entered the Transcendent Realm when he was nearly fifty, already becoming a local overlord."

"I must tell my brother this news as soon as possible. With such a Genius appearing in Jiangnan Province, the winds are truly going to change."

The man thought to himself, his figure retreating even faster.

Jiang Chen sneered, "Thinking of running now, isn't it a bit late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch.

A fist force condensed to the extreme shot out with a roar, like a bullet, crossing a distance of over ten meters and striking the man directly in the back.

The man felt as if he had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer, his body flying out involuntarily and crashing into the wall.

"Internal Energy projection... hundred-pace divine fist..."

"You... you really are a Martial Arts Grandmaster..."

After saying this, the man's vision went black, and he slumped heavily onto the ground, unmoving.

"Mr. Jiang, did you kill him?"

Shen Bier asked nervously.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "He is, after all, a Dark Energy Martial Artist. I didn't use full power in that punch just now; at most, he's just knocked out."

After speaking, he walked up to the man and kicked him.

After receiving the kick, the man slowly woke up, instantly feeling unbearable pain all over his body.

"I admit defeat today, but I warn you, if you kill me, my brother will definitely avenge me!"

Jiang Chen looked at him with interest and asked, "Who is your brother?"

The man's pale face suddenly revealed a proud expression: "Kid, perk up your ears and listen well. My brother is the King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong, and I am his brother, Gu Wang!"

"You are King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong's brother?"

Jiang Chen was startled upon hearing this, revealing a surprised expression.

After the incident at Chifeng Group, Jiang Chen had guessed that King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong would definitely notice.

He hadn't expected him to send someone so quickly.

And it was his brother, no less.

"How about it? Scared now, aren't you?"

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Gu Wang assumed Jiang Chen was afraid and said coldly, "Kid, even if you are a Martial Arts Grandmaster, so what? My brother is also a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and he has Cultivated longer than you."

"If you know what's good for you, kneel before me now and kowtow to apologize. Perhaps I might even plead for mercy on your behalf in front of my brother."

Gu Wang saw that Jiang Chen was only in his twenties; even if he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he had only just entered the Realm.

Whereas his brother, King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong, was the King of Jiangnan and had stepped into the Transcendent Realm many years ago; his strength was definitely above Jiang Chen's.

Jiang Chen curled his lips into a sneer and suddenly raised his foot to stomp on the man's right arm.

"Crack!"

Gu Wang let out a shrill scream on the spot.

His entire right arm was instantly crushed, with the white bone even exposed.

Jiang Chen stared down at Gu Wang from above and said coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

"No matter who you are, I will make my brother kill you!"

Gu Wang endured the pain of his broken arm and roared through gritted teeth.

"My name is Jiang Chen, the fourth son of the Jiang Family of Jinling."

Jiang Chen said each word clearly.

Gu Wang, who had just been full of anger, was instantly stunned upon hearing this, staring straight at Jiang Chen. "You... you are from the Jiang Family of Jinling?"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

It was said that the Jiang Family of Jinling had a fourth son named Jiang Chen, who was a good-for-nothing, debauched, playboy Young Master.

Later, he took the blame for his fiancée and was imprisoned, sentenced to five years.

Could it be that this youth, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, was actually that trash Jiang Chen?

"This... how is this possible?"

Gu Wang revealed an expression of extreme horror.

The fourth son of the Jiang Family had come out of prison to take revenge on them, and as a Martial Arts Grandmaster at that.

They were in big trouble now.

"Where is your brother?"

Jiang Chen stared coldly at Gu Wang.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wang stiffened his neck, closed his eyes, and said with determination, "Kill me if you want; I will absolutely not betray my brother!"

"You've got guts."

Jiang Chen's tone was indifferent. He suddenly formed a hand seal with his right hand, and a mass of Restriction resembling a Golden Flame burrowed into Gu Wang's body.

Gu Wang, eyes closed, shuddered suddenly but didn't notice anything unusual.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's voice reached his ears: "Get up."

"You aren't killing me?"

Gu Wang opened his eyes suddenly, his face full of wild joy.

"I am not killing you because I want you to pass a message to King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong for me."

"Tell him that I will use his head to pay tribute to the spirits of my parents in heaven!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly.

Gu Wang scrambled up from the ground in a panic, his eyes shooting out endless resentment and relief: "Jiang Chen, my brother will definitely come for you. Just wash your neck and wait for death!"

Having said that, he hurried out of the office and disappeared.

Shen Bier's pretty face changed color: "Mr. Jiang, you just let him go like that. Isn't that letting a tiger return to the mountain?"

"No matter."

The Golden Flame on Jiang Chen's fingers gradually extinguished, and he said with interest, "He has a welcoming gift for King of Jiangnan Gu Yuandong on him; I hope he likes it."
