Chapter 199: Green Leaves Sever the Throat

Chen Che finished his bread, got into a taxi, and left.

He had originally intended to return to the hospital to check on Ma Menghan, but he discovered something unusual at a fork in the road near the hospital.

Two black BYD cars had been following him ever since they left the convenience store scene.

This discovery made Chen Che change his mind, and he said to the driver, "Master, don't go to the hospital; go to Zijin Mountain."

The vehicle changed direction and drove toward Zijin Mountain.

At the same time, Chen Che dialed the numbers of Shen Qi and Ma Zijun respectively.

He instructed Shen Qi to stay alert to prevent anyone from causing trouble at the Qibao Association, and urged Ma Zijun to take good care of Ma Menghan.

The vehicle stopped at the foot of Zijin Mountain; it was already evening, and the sky was growing dark.

After getting out of the car, Chen Che glanced at the BYD parked not far away, then darted into the depths of the woods.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

Jiang Sheng shouted.

The lead BYD no longer hid its intentions and crashed headlong into the woods.

The car following behind did not enter, but instead stopped in a position that was not easily noticed.

Sitting inside the car, Huang Feng and Ma Ziai squinted as they watched the person and the car chasing each other in the distance.

"Are those guys going to be okay?"

Previous failures had left Ma Ziai feeling uncertain, so he asked.

Huang Feng said, "Those idiots are carrying quite a few True Qi Weapons; who knows, they might actually pull it off."

"What if they can't pull it off?"

Ma Ziai was still worried.

Huang Feng set up his phone, tapped the record button, and said dismissively, "It doesn't matter if they can't kill him. I'll record the video, edit it, and hand it over to my cousin Fan Hao; I can still have him arrested by the Justice Department in a legitimate way.

Even if Tang Ying can bail him out, she'll have to pay a heavy price and have his Martial Dao Cultivation crippled!"

Ma Ziai nodded, revealing a smile: "Then I am truly looking forward to it!"

In the woods.

Chen Che paused his feet, brought his figure to a halt, and turned to watch the BYD charging toward him.

The business-class BYD stopped ten meters away from Chen Che, and Jiang Sheng and six other burly men jumped out of the car, all holding guns.

"Chen Che, you really chose a good place for yourself. It's just a pity that I'm going to beat you into pulp, so you won't even have a place to be buried when you die!"

Jiang Sheng pulled the bolt, aiming his gun at Chen Che.

Chen Che was unconcerned, his gaze sweeping across the seven men one by one.

Assault rifles, submachine guns, pistols, grenades, and even one carrying a rocket launcher—it seems they are fully equipped and have gone to great pains!

"Who are you people? Let me die knowing the truth."

Chen Che noticed the other BYD parked in the distance and asked.

"We are from the Scorpion Society; to be precise, we are Bai Shao's subordinates!"

Jiang Sheng roared in a rough voice: "You killed Bai Shao and caused Bai Ye to be pestered by people from the Justice Department for these past few days. You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

The effects of the alcohol had not yet fully worn off for Jiang Sheng, and he was even more agitated now. As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger directly at Chen Che.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat..."

The muzzle of the assault rifle roared, looking as ferocious as Jiang Sheng's face.

Chen Che formed a seal with his hands and waved it in front of him, a True Qi Protective Shield blocking the incoming bullets.

However, Chen Che still underestimated the power of the True Qi Bullets.

After the True Qi Bullets struck the True Qi Protective Shield, they exploded directly!

It was like firecrackers, popping and crackling incessantly.

The True Qi Protective Shield ultimately could not withstand this devastation and collapsed, vanishing.

Seeing that the True Qi Protective Shield was about to collapse, Jiang Sheng gave a ferocious laugh, hugged his assault rifle, and roared: "Open fire, kill him!"

The remaining six men all began their attack.

Bullets and grenades were all unleashed.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions were incessant, and dust and smoke rose, obscuring the line of sight.

Jiang Sheng raised his hand, signaling to stop the attack. All seven men stared intently ahead, waiting for the smoke to clear to confirm whether Chen Che was dead.

As the smoke dissipated, Jiang Sheng and the others grew alert, their guns aimed forward, but Chen Che's figure had disappeared.

"Is... is he dead?"

A subordinate holding a submachine gun asked.

"He should be dead."

Chen Che's voice suddenly rang out, like a vengeful ghost from hell coming to claim a life, causing Jiang Sheng and the others to shudder involuntarily.

"Whoosh!"

The lackey carrying the rocket launcher turned abruptly and fired at Chen Che without hesitation.

Chen Che's expression was calm; he gathered True Qi in his palm and spread it forward, the True Qi in his palm forming a line of connection with the True Qi on the rocket.

Chen Che flicked his arm, and under the guidance of his True Qi, he swung the rocket toward the car where Huang Feng and Ma Ziai were located.

Huang Feng and Ma Ziai were both shocked, shouting in a panic: "Get out quickly!"

The two scrambled to open the car doors, tumbling and crawling as they fled.

"Boom!"

The rocket hit the vehicle, an explosion rang out, and scorching flames leaped two meters high!

Jiang Sheng and the others were all terrified; none of them expected that Chen Che had discovered Huang Feng and Ma Ziai hiding in the shadows, and even less did they expect that Chen Che would actually use their own force against them, launching an attack on Huang Feng and Ma Ziai first!

But what shocked them even more was not the deterrence brought by the deaths of Huang Feng and Ma Ziai, but the formidable strength of Chen Che himself!

First, he dodged like a phantom amidst the dense barrage of bullets and grenades, appearing behind them.

Then, he changed the flight trajectory of the rockets without the slightest effort.

This was enough to prove that they could not kill Chen Che! Today's stalking and ambush was nothing but a joke!

"Clang!"

After the shock, the alcohol in Jiang Sheng and the others completely wore off; fear surged into their hearts in an instant, and as their hands loosened, all their True Qi Weapons were dropped to the ground.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump..."

Without a shred of hesitation, after dropping their True Qi Weapons, Jiang Sheng's legs went weak and he was the first to kneel; seeing this, the others followed suit, prostrating themselves on the ground.

Chen Che caught a falling leaf, looked sideways at Jiang Sheng and the others, and asked, "Are you not going to fight anymore?"

"W-we offended you, sir... please... please spare us..."

Jiang Sheng's entire body trembled uncontrollably, his voice shaking as he begged for mercy.

"Please spare us, sir!"

The others behind Jiang Sheng also begged for mercy in unison.

Chen Che remained expressionless and threw the leaf from his palm; True Qi was attached to the green leaf, and it shot toward Jiang Sheng and the others like a bullet.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The green leaf slit their throats!

Jiang Sheng and the others widened their eyes in terror, dying with their eyes open! Even at the very last moment, they had not expected that Chen Che would kill them so decisively!

"Swish!"

Chen Che's figure flashed, arriving at the scene of the BYD explosion.

Huang Feng and Ma Ziai were covered in soot; having just crawled up from their narrow escape, they hadn't even had time to feel relieved before Chen Che's figure appeared like a phantom.

"Ah!"

Ma Ziai let out a scream and fell back onto the ground on her backside.

Huang Feng also looked at Chen Che with a face full of terror, his peripheral vision sweeping toward the front, where Jiang Sheng and the others had already turned into corpses.

This discovery made his legs go weak with fright; if he hadn't been leaning against a large tree, he would have already fallen to the ground just like Ma Ziai, unable to get back up!

Chen Che first glanced at Huang Feng, then looked at Ma Ziai, smiling without warmth: "Miss Ma, I trust you have been well."

Ma Ziai gave a start; at this moment, she would rather encounter a ghost than look at Chen Che's smile!

Without waiting for Chen Che to ask, Ma Ziai, out of fear, directly betrayed Huang Feng: "It wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me! His name is Huang Feng, he is a member of the Huang Family, he is my aunt's nephew, it was all his idea!"

Swish!

Huang Feng's face turned pale instantly, and he glared viciously at Ma Ziai, as if cursing: "Bitch, I knew you couldn't trust anyone surnamed Ma!"

"The Huang Family? So it turns out all of this was instigated by Huang Zhu; no wonder."

Chen Che suddenly realized, figuring out the matter regarding Fan Hao, and looked at Huang Feng with a playful gaze.

Huang Feng took a few deep breaths and said with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart: "I'm telling you, I am a member of the Huang Family, and my cousin is the Deputy Commander of the Inspection Bureau; if you dare to touch me—"

"Crack!"

Before Huang Feng could finish his sentence, Chen Che flicked his finger, and two wisps of True Qi shot into Huang Feng's knees, causing his knee joints to explode instantly.

"Ah!!!"

Huang Feng fell to his knees with a thud, letting out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

"I'll give you a chance to live; call Huang Zhu now and tell her to come here to see me."

Chen Che's tone was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet to Huang Feng's ears, it sounded as cold as frost, "I will only give you half an hour. If she cannot arrive in half an hour, then you will have to go and keep those people company."

Huang Feng's face was deathly pale and bloodless; enduring the pain, he said, "I'll call, I'll call right now!"
