Chapter 493: This is the Witch Clan's Gu

"You actually only managed to tear a corner of my clothes?" Ji Xin also turned around, looking at Chen Yu in disbelief. He hunched his body, the two Daggers in his hands curving upward: "Your strength is not bad, but next, I am going to get serious."

"You are going to get serious?" Chen Yu looked at him with surprise, then shook his head and spat out a sentence that nearly made Ji Xin explode with rage: "You are not yet worth me getting serious."

"Let's see who is better in a real fight." Ji Xin was furious. With a loud boom, several blue bricks behind him shattered simultaneously. His body sprang up like an arrow released from a bow, rapidly attacking toward Chen Yu.

The two figures crossed paths again, yet this time, after passing Chen Yu, Ji Xin's hands were empty.

He turned around abruptly, horrified to discover that the Daggers which had been in his hands were inexplicably now in Chen Yu's.

"You..." Ji Xin was both shocked and angry. Only then did he realize that it wasn't that he had underestimated his opponent, but that he and the other party were simply not on the same level.

"As a killer who plays with knives, if your knives are taken by someone else, it is equivalent to saying your own life has been taken by someone else." As Chen Yu said this, he twisted his hands, and with two crackling sounds, the two Daggers in his hands shattered completely.

Ji Xin was stunned. His two Daggers were made of composite materials; they were lightweight and extremely hard. Even if thrown into a furnace, they wouldn't suffer the slightest damage, yet Chen Yu had broken his Daggers with a casual movement. Was this even human?

"Who are you?" Ji Xin looked at Chen Yu, shocked and angry.

"I said, my name is Chen Yu." Chen Yu smiled faintly. He suddenly drew his right hand across the ground and struck toward Ji Xin with a palm: "Go back and tell your President Meng, Ning City is about to change."

With several whistling sounds, the Dagger fragments on the ground suddenly flew up and surged forward.

Pfft, pfft... More than ten Dagger fragments were embedded in the wall behind Ji Xin.

"You are an expert of the Extreme Martial Sect Realm?" Ji Xin stared at Chen Yu, his face full of horror.

Because he believed that, apart from an expert of the Martial Ancestor Realm, no one else could possibly have strength as great as Chen Yu's.

"That's right, Martial Ancestor Realm." Chen Yu nodded.

"That's impossible. You aren't even thirty. Even if you started practicing from your mother's womb, it would be impossible to reach the strength of a Martial Ancestor," Ji Xin said in shock.

"Then you must have never heard that there is no limit to martial arts." Chen Yu sneered. He let out a clear whistle, grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen was in his hand.

With a deep shout, he slashed the Lichen in his hand toward the lake on one side. With a loud boom, a ten-zhang Sword Light surged into the lake water, and a giant wave flew toward both sides.

The churning lake water could not calm down for a long time. A moment later, countless fish floated to the surface with their white bellies up. Although Chen Yu did not use his full strength in this sword strike, it was enough to shock people.

Chen Biao looked at everything before him, his hands trembling slightly.

Chen Yu's sword strike just now had almost reached the bottom of the lake, and he had a vague feeling that Chen Yu had not used his full strength at all.

To be able to strike up such a huge wave with one sword, is this still a human?

Ji Xin looked at Chen Yu in horror, remaining silent for a long time. After a long while, he finally spat out a sentence: "Are you a Dharma Cultivator?"

"Not yet, I'm still a bit short," Chen Yu said calmly. "However, I believe it won't be long before I reach that realm."

"Just kill me." Ji Xin was dazed for a long time before dejectedly spitting out these words.

"Kill you?" Chen Yu looked him over, feeling somewhat puzzled: "Why would you say that?"

"I have been controlled by Li Meng all these years. Now that this mission has failed, he will definitely humiliate me in every possible way," Ji Xin said with a miserable smile. "Rather than letting him torture me, it would be better if you killed me with one strike to make it quick."

"Li Meng controls you?" Chen Yu was startled. He reached out, grabbed Ji Xin's arm, and rolled his sleeve up.

He saw that there was a blood-red tattoo on his wrist. The tattoo looked a bit like an insect, with six wings and six legs, and a mouth full of sharp, thin teeth. It looked somewhat evil.

"Is he a member of the Witch Clan?" Chen Yu understood instantly: "You have a Gu inside you?"

"Yes, otherwise how could I be summoned here and there like a dog by him?" Ji Xin gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for his identity as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Witch Clan, how could he possibly know how to control Gu?"

"If it weren't for the enhancement of Gu Technique, how could he have continuously defeated opponents and annexed others to grow big in just ten short years?"

"He is actually a disciple of the Witch Clan, no wonder... none of the big shots in Ning City dare to provoke him." Chen Biao also had a look of fear on his face.

In Hunan Province, the Witch Clan and Gu were both taboo topics. The Meng Group's growth in just a few short years could not be separated from the support of the Witch Clan.

Moreover, even an Awakened like Ji Xin was controlled by Li Meng and forced to work for him; the reason for this was his close relationship with the Witch Clan.

"So that's how it is. If I told you that I could remove the Symbiotic Gu from your heart and let you regain your freedom, would you believe me?" Chen Yu said.

"That's impossible." Ji Xin was taken aback, his face full of disbelief: "The Symbiotic Gu has been with me for seven years. Ever since Li Meng planted the Gu in me, I have been at his beck and call."

"The Gu is currently parasitizing my heart, tightly embracing it. Its six limbs are rooted inside my heart; how could it possibly be removed?"

"Others can't remove it, but I can," Chen Yu said, looking at Ji Xin sideways. "What's the big deal?"

"Are you telling the truth?" Ji Xin stared fixedly at Chen Yu; he was already wavering.

"Ji Xin, although we are mortal enemies, I will still give you a reminder: Mr. Chen has this strength." Chen Biao spoke up, pointing to his own palm: "My palm was pierced by a bullet today. Look, now, except for a small scar, it is almost completely healed."

"And the Yisheng told me that my hand had nerve damage and would never be able to move again, but now I can move freely." Chen Biao said, moving his palm.

A glimmer of light flashed in Ji Xin's eyes; it was the light of seeing hope. He turned his head and looked at Chen Yu, half-believing and half-doubting: "Can you really do it?"

"If you believe me, let me try, but I have conditions," Chen Yu said calmly. "For the next period of time, I will be staying in Ning Province for a while. You must do things for me. Once I leave Ning Province, you will regain your freedom."

"How long are you going to stay in Ning Province?" Ji Xin looked at Chen Yu suspiciously.

"Not long, a few months, six months at most." Chen Yu took out a business card: "Think about it. Contact me once you have thought it through."

Ji Xin looked at the business card Chen Yu handed over. He didn't move. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "I believe you. When can you treat me?"

"Now." Chen Yu reached out to probe his wrist, then channeled a wisp of True Qi over.

He was testing him. Sure enough, after his True Qi was channeled into Ji Xin's hand, the skin over his heart suddenly bulged.
