184: Chapter 184 Zhao Wuji Arrives
The old man was named Jia Yan, and he had a nickname: Heart-Eating Ghost.
The origin of this nickname was that when he killed people, he liked to gouge out their hearts.
Once, after killing an enemy and gouging out their heart, he even licked it.
Thus, the nickname Heart-Eating Ghost spread.
Of course, this nickname also suited him perfectly, because Jia Yan was sinister, ruthless, and extremely vindictive; anyone who offended him would have their entire family wiped out.
He truly acted without any bottom line.
Among the Eight Ghosts under Wu Sheng's command, his fearsome reputation was second only to the Blade Demon.
Wu Sheng was indeed the current head of the Wu Family.
Under his command were eight Organ Refining experts, collectively known as the Eight Ghosts.
Jia Yan was indeed one of the Eight Ghosts, with a cultivation of the Mid Organ-Refining Realm.
Yet, such a brutal and powerful person was actually pierced through the shoulder by Zhao Zilong's spear.
How could the Feng siblings not feel shocked and surprised?
"Heh, heh!"
A sound that did not seem human came from the throat of the Heart-Eating Ghost, whose shoulder had been pierced.
Hearing this sound, many people present couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.
"Pfft!"
Jia Yan flashed backward, pulling the Bright Silver Spear out of his body.
Instantly, a bloody hole was left on his shoulder.
Anyone who saw this scene felt that Jia Yan was a ruthless man.
"Little brat, die!"
Having pulled out the spear, Jia Yan completely ignored his injury, turning into an afterimage as he lunged at Zhao Zilong.
However, just as he lunged in front of Zhao Zilong, he suddenly vanished.
In the next instant, his figure weirdly appeared behind Zhao Zilong, and his claws, enveloped in black True Qi, viciously gouged toward Zhao Zilong's back.
"Watch out!"
Feng Chengyu subconsciously called out.
However, his worry was clearly unnecessary.
Because Zhao Zilong's spear tip struck Jia Yan's chest as if he had foreknowledge.
*Crack!*
Accompanied by a cracking sound, Jia Yan's short body flew backward.
Yet, while still in midair, he suddenly twisted his body and shot toward Chen Hu.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing this, Zhao Zilong was furious.
With a flash, he appeared in front of Chen Hu.
The spear in his hand conjured countless spear shadows, which looked like countless flying birds, finally transforming into a fire phoenix born from the flames.
"Ten Thousand Birds Facing the Phoenix"
This was indeed Zhao Zilong executing one of the ultimate moves of his spear technique.
"Screech!"
Along with the appearance of the fire phoenix, a sharp cry of a phoenix rang out.
When this phoenix cry reached Jia Yan's ears, it caused a massive wave of fear to well up in his heart.
*Puff! Puff! Puff!*
In the next moment, countless bloody holes appeared on Jia Yan's body, and a large amount of blood gushed out, turning him into a bloody figure.
*Thud!*
Jia Yan's body fell to the ground, already breathing more out than in.
Seeing this, the Feng siblings looked at each other, both seeing the horror and shock in each other's eyes.
They hadn't expected that Chen Hu would have such a powerful spear master by his side.
Looking at his age, he was only around twenty years old.
But what they found strange was, why hadn't such a powerful young man made it onto the hidden dragon ranking?
What puzzled them even more was...
Wasn't Chen Hu just an ordinary person with no background? Why did he have such a powerful Late-stage Refining Viscera expert by his side?
Zhao Zilong, who had severely injured Jia Yan with a single strike, did not stop.
He leaped into the air, swinging his spear down fiercely.
*Crash!*
The carriage parked at the door was instantly shattered into pieces.
Then, three snow-white fleshy worms rolled out of the carriage.
"Haha!"
Seeing this, Feng Chengyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, then remembering something, he turned his head to Feng Wenge and said, "Don't look, it'll dirty your eyes!"
"Ah!"
Feng Wenge cried out in surprise, quickly covering her eyes with her hands, though the gaps between her fingers were clearly not closed.
"Bastard! Who dares disturb this Young Master's good business!"
Wu Qianfan, whose mood and good business had been ruined, was furious.
"General Zhao Zilong, throw him further away, it's so damn eyesore!"
Looking at Wu Qianfan, who was completely naked yet jumping and cursing, Chen Hu couldn't help but shout.
"Yes!"
Zhao Zilong flashed to Wu Qianfan's side and whipped him dozens of meters away with his spear.
Meanwhile, the two women picked up their clothes from the carriage debris and quickly put them on.
"Young Lord!"
Seeing their Young Lord fly out, the knights quickly chased after him.
A loyal knight immediately helped Wu Qianfan up, took off his own clothes and pants, and put them on him.
"Bastard! To humiliate this Young Master like this, this Young Master will slaughter him!"
"Young Lord, stop shouting!" a knight carefully reminded him. "Fifth Master Jia has already fallen into their hands. We should leave quickly!"
"What did you say?"
Wu Qianfan exclaimed in shock.
The knight continued, "There is an extremely powerful expert by Chen Hu's side. Fifth Master Jia fought him for only two or three moves before being severely injured. He's still lying over there right now!"
"Quick, quick, back to Lingzhou!"
After confirming it again, fear welled up in Wu Qianfan's heart, and he hurriedly urged the knights to leave.
As for Jia Yan and his two concubines, he couldn't care less about them anymore.
Watching Wu Qianfan flee, Feng Chengyu kindly reminded, "Brother Chen, I must warn you. Although the Wu Family head, Wu Sheng, has quite a few sons, for some reason, his favorite is this playboy son, Wu Qianfan.
He clearly has a Earth-grade talent and a good cultivation environment, yet he rarely Cultivates. At twenty-six, he has barely reached the Tendon Refining Realm.
Having suffered such a big loss this time, he will definitely complain to Head Wu once he returns to Lingzhou City.
With Head Wu's personality, he probably won't let you off.
You had better make preparations early."
"What Realm is Head Wu?" Chen Hu asked.
Feng Chengyu said, "Early Stage of the Blood Refining Realm. However, he is an old-time Blood Refining Realm practitioner with many tricks. Even an ordinary Middle Stage Blood Refining Realm expert wouldn't be guaranteed to win against him!"
"Thank you for the warning, Brother Feng. I will be careful!"
Chen Hu expressed his gratitude, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Afterward, the group returned to the interior of the Fierce Tiger Gang. As for Jia Yan, Chen Hu had Zhao Zilong lock him up.
"Brother Chen, since you have a Late-stage Refining Viscera guard by your side, your background must be extraordinary. I won't mention recruiting you anymore. Can we be friends?" Feng Chengyu looked at Chen Hu and said.
"Of course!"
Chen Hu nodded.
Compared to Wu Qianfan, Feng Chengyu was countless times better.
Moreover, through the Eye of Insight, he discovered that the other party's friendliness had reached 55 points.
"It's almost noon. I plan to treat Brother Feng and Young Miss Feng to a meal. I wonder if you two would do me the honor?" Chen Hu said with a smile.
"Obedience is better than politeness!"
Feng Chengyu immediately agreed. He also wanted to learn more about Chen Hu and see what kind of background he really had.
Thus, Chen Hu sent someone to book a private room at the best restaurant in the outer city.
Then, he leisurely headed over with the Feng siblings.
The meal was very pleasant.
After the meal, the Feng siblings bid farewell and invited Chen Hu to visit their Feng Family if he ever went to Lingzhou.
Chen Hu naturally agreed readily.
After seeing off the Feng siblings...
Chen Hu headed toward the warehouse with Zhao Zilong.
He planned to store the grain in the warehouse.
After storing a lot of grain in the warehouse...
Chen Hu then took Zhao Zilong and detoured to a theater to listen to some music.
After listening for more than an hour...
Chen Hu lost interest and headed home.
However, just as he returned home, a servant came forward to inform him that a man claiming to be Zhao Wuji had been there for a while, waiting to see him.
