377. Chapter 377: You despicable villain, you don't keep your word

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's face instantly drained of all color, and his whole body began to tremble violently.

A pool of orange-yellow liquid even flowed from his lower body; he had actually been scared into wetting himself.

"You cannot treat me like this! I am the Second Elder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. If you cut off my hands, the others will absolutely not let you off!"

The Second Elder's eyes were split wide, bulging like copper bells.

"Since I dared to come here, I am not afraid of the others. You are at death's door, yet you still have a stiff mouth."

Su Chen could not help but sneer, walking toward the Second Elder in a leisurely manner.

The Second Elder's gaze followed Su Chen's movements tightly; every step he took seemed to land heavily upon his heart.

Su Chen's hand rose and the blade fell; fresh blood sprayed out instantly. The Second Elder's hand had not even reacted yet, bouncing a few times on the ground.

"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you!"

The Second Elder laughed in agony, the veins on his forehead bulging, his face flushed bright red.

"If you behave obediently from now on, I might still spare your dog life. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just one hand."

Su Chen sneered, squinting his eyes as he looked at the Second Elder with indifference.

The Second Elder cursed in his heart, his expression ferocious and terrifying, his eyeballs protruding outward.

"Go to hell, I will absolutely not..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Chen knitted his brows and directly hacked off his other arm.

Fresh blood sprayed out instantly, dyeing the wooden floor blood-red in the blink of an eye.

"What did you just say?"

Su Chen squatted down, looking at the Second Elder with great interest, as if he were a soul-reaping ghost from hell.

The Second Elder was dazed, the intense pain stimulating him so much that he could barely utter a complete sentence.

He was afraid now; he was truly afraid.

The man before him would truly take his life without the slightest hesitation.

"What do you want to know..."

The Second Elder gritted his teeth, the words popping out of his mouth one by one.

"It would have been better if you were this obedient earlier; you wouldn't have had to enjoy this kind of pain. Someone who didn't know better might think I was very cruel."

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, using a few words to attribute his previous actions to the Second Elder's own lack of judgment.

The Second Elder cursed Su Chen for being shameless in his heart, but at this moment, he dared not offer any opposing opinion.

"Where are the people from the Ouyang family? Why is there no sign of them in the entire Taiyi Sword Sect?"

Su Chen did not mince words, decisively asking the key question.

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Su Chen's expression instantly turned dangerous. The Second Elder hurriedly widened his eyes and said quickly, "They are all preparing for what comes next, so only we are guarding the Taiyi Sword Sect right now."

"What comes next?"

Su Chen continued to ask.

The Second Elder was silent for a rare moment. Su Chen's eyes immediately carried a threat, and only then did the Second Elder continue, albeit unwillingly.

"There have been major movements at Ziwei Pavilion, but they have always been in direct contact with the Sect Master. We don't know what happened. Ever since he met with the people from Ziwei Pavilion last time, he began his seclusion."

Hearing this, Su Chen could not help but knit his brows.

"What is your mission?" Su Chen asked again. "We are to search for the reincarnation of the so-called Heavenly Dao Great Emperor who is running rampant in Zhongzhou Dadi. It is said to be a request from Ziwei Pavilion; once found, we are to escort them to Ziwei Pavilion immediately."

The Second Elder glanced at Su Chen cautiously before continuing, albeit unwillingly.

It seems that to know more information, one must still find the people from the Ouyang family.

Thinking of this, Su Chen stood up and looked into the distance, lost in thought.

The Second Elder, however, was impatient now. Not only was his face swollen like a pig's head, but his whole body was covered in wounds, and both his hands had been hacked off.

If it were not for the fact that he was a Cultivator, he would likely have died from his severe injuries by now.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Su Chen with an expectant expression, then asked, "Can you let me go now?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen acted as if he had heard a massive joke.

"Why would I let go of someone who wanted to kill me?"

He looked at the Second Elder slowly, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery.

The Second Elder was momentarily speechless, his lips opening and closing several times, his face flushed with anger, before he finally managed to squeeze out: "You... you despicable villain, you don't keep your word."

"As you said, rules are for the weak. The strong have always been the ones to set the rules. I do as I please, so what can you do about it?"

Su Chen returned the words the Second Elder had just spoken to him, word for word.

Su Chen clapped his hands, cast his gaze toward the door, and then said, "Since you've arrived, come in."

Everyone's gaze turned toward the door, and they saw a man slowly walk in.

He was dressed in white, his eyes filled with a hint of hatred, and he walked slowly to the front of the Second Elder.

This person was none other than Fufeng.

A blazing fire of hope instantly ignited in the Second Elder's eyes, and he looked at Fufeng impatiently.

"Fufeng, hurry and find a way to save me! I am your father; you cannot just ignore me..."

The Second Elder's expectant gaze fell through; the rest of his words were cut off abruptly, and he looked at the knife plunged into his chest in disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, and it took a long time before he laboriously spat out a sentence: "You... why."

Fufeng's eyes were slightly red, but more than that, there was the pleasure of having his great revenge fulfilled.

"Just because you killed my mother back then. Even though you had ignored me and my mother before that, you only brought me back after you knew you had fathered a child, yet you actually wanted to keep the child and discard the mother..."

Having said this, Fufeng sobbed, his eyes filled with hatred.

"It's a pity you couldn't imagine it; from the time I was small until I grew up, it was my mother who raised me. The bond between her and me is far deeper than you could ever think."

By the time he finished speaking, Fufeng's voice was already choked with sobs.

Even if he could personally kill the enemy who murdered his mother, he could not bring his mother back to life.

"I treated you so well... and you actually... are so ungrateful..."

The Second Elder clearly felt his life gradually slipping away; fresh blood constantly seeped from the corners of his mouth, and his words were halting and intermittent.

"If I could, I would rather not be your son! A person like you deserves to grow old and die in loneliness!"

Hearing this, Fufeng could not help but roar in anger.

He never wanted to find this so-called father of his; clearly, he and his mother had relied on each other to survive, and they had made it through all these years.

Now, just because he was this man's flesh and blood, he had been sought out, and for the sake of his own reputation, the man had viewed his mother as a disgrace and silenced her...

There was a trace of sorrow in the Second Elder's eyes, as if he had reached the depths of despair. (End of chapter)
