Chapter 45 The Fall of Liu Wuji

When Liu Wuji fell to the ground, his brain was buzzing.

But the shock in his heart was obviously stronger than the buzzing in his head.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! I abandoned my physical body and turned to demonic cultivation, how could I not even be able to defeat a mere ordinary person!"

"Boy, who exactly are you? How can you have such powerful strength?"

"Could it be that you are a disciple of a hidden sect?"

Liu Wuji's eyes flickered. If the Gu family and his daughter had the support of a hidden sect's disciple, then this matter would be really difficult to handle.

"A disciple of a hidden sect?"

Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully, "What are they? I've killed several of them!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Gu Zhendong looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"This audacious brat, there really isn't anything he wouldn't dare to do!"

Not far away, Xiao Li's eyes also revealed an unbelievable expression.

He had heard his father mention the hidden sects, so he knew that the disciples of the hidden sects were all aloof and superior, and even his father had to be respectful and submissive in front of them.

But he never expected that Chen Xiao had already killed several disciples of the hidden sects.

Xiao Li suddenly realized that the gap between himself and Chen Xiao was even greater than when they first met, and it was getting wider and wider.

It was ridiculous that he even wanted to challenge him; he was just making a fool of himself.

However, Liu Wuji didn't believe what Chen Xiao said: "Boy, I admit you have some strength, but you, killing several hidden sect disciples? You can't just brag like that!"

"I don't need your acknowledgment of my strength, and the grudges between us should have been settled long ago. You human-demon, are you ready to die?"

Chen Xiao said with a calm expression, as if he were drinking water or eating.

"Hmph, brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Wuji said proudly, "Although I can't kill you, you can never kill me either..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiao punched through his stomach.

His indestructible scales were like paper in front of Chen Xiao.

"This, how is this possible..."

Liu Wuji's voice trembled, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

He finally realized Chen Xiao's terror, and finally knew that even in the secular world, he was definitely not invincible.

He wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Chen Xiao's fist was still inside his body, and a burst of energy erupted from Chen Xiao's fist.

Boom—

With a loud noise, Liu Wuji's pair of blood-red triangular eyes suddenly became dim and lifeless.

His huge body instantly collapsed.

Chen Xiao had just shattered all the flesh and bones in Liu Wuji's body with one punch.

And without the support of bones and flesh, Liu Wuji's body fell to the ground like a deflated tire inner tube.

With Liu Wuji's death, the tide-like snake群 (qún, group) scattered and fled, and all disappeared without a trace in just over ten seconds.

If it weren't for the pervasive fishy smell, it would be as if they had never been here.

Chen Xiao shook off the blood on his hands and said to the stunned Gu family and his daughter: "It's settled, Uncle Gu, you don't have to worry about the Liu Sect's revenge in the future."

Gu Zhendong was still in shock and didn't know what to say.

This enemy, who had haunted his heart like a nightmare for twenty years, was killed by Chen Xiao just like that?

He was a little dazed, a little empty, and felt that all of this was unreal… He just wanted to go home and sleep for three days and three nights.

Gu Yutong, however, ran over in a hurry and asked with anticipation: "Master, Master, if I cultivate hard, can I become as strong as you?"

Once one embarks on the path of cultivation, it is inevitable to become enthusiastic about strength, even Gu Yutong, who had a quiet and elegant temperament, was no exception.

"That depends on how hard you work."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, giving an ambiguous answer.

In fact, he hoped that Gu Yutong could be an ordinary little girl, living a normal life, peaceful and happy.

But his wish was obviously not going to be realized, after all, Gu Yutong had the Underworld Palace Body (冥宫之体, Míng Gōng zhī Tǐ) from birth, which destined her to never be an ordinary person.

"Hey, you two, weren't you going to challenge me? Why don't you come at me together, so I can save myself some trouble!"

Chen Xiao shouted at Duan San and Xiao Li in the distance. He had already spotted these two.

As soon as Xiao Li heard this, he quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

"No, no, Mr. Chen, I came to you this time mainly to get rid of the words on my face. As for the challenge, I was just saying it casually, please don't take it seriously, haha..."

Duan San said with a serious face: "Chen Xiao, I can't beat you, it seems I have to go back and cultivate for another year or two!"

After saying that, he actually turned around and left.

Xiao Li looked at his back and couldn't help but think to himself: "Damn, this guy, his back is already burning, maybe in a year or two, his strength will be above my father's!"

At this moment, Luo Qian and Chi Hao, having evacuated the trapped students, also rushed over.

"Brother Chen, as expected, trouble always follows you!"

Luo Qian began to complain as soon as she saw Chen Xiao.

Chi Hao corrected: "No, it should be that wherever there is trouble, there will be Brother Chen. He is our superhero!"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Okay, stop flattering me, I don't fall for that. You guys hurry up and deal with this. My barrier can still last for eight hours. During this time, ordinary people can't see what's happening inside the barrier."

Luo Qian was slightly stunned and asked doubtfully: "Brother Chen, do you mean that what happened here just now wasn't seen by people outside? Then how could Chi Hao and I see it?"

"That's because I wanted you to see it, otherwise, who would do these dirty jobs?"

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at her, pointing to Liu Wuji's corpse.

"Okay, so in your eyes, we are cleaners, right?"

Luo Qian pouted, looking displeased.

Chi Hao hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, Qianqian, it's just cleaning up the battlefield, which is much simpler than holding a press conference!"

If the scene of Chen Xiao and the others fighting the giant snake were spread out, it would definitely cause a huge wave in society, with all kinds of rumors flying around.

At that time, the main job of the Bixie Si (Bureau of Eliminating Evil, unofficial translation) would become fabricating lies to dispel the rumors.

And fabricating one lie requires a hundred lies to cover it up…

Luo Qian's head ached at the thought of this, and then she nodded in agreement.

"You're right, then I'll leave the work here to you!"

"..."

Chi Hao was speechless.

However, he seemed to have gotten used to Luo Qian's 'oppression', and then he happily started cleaning up.

However, just as he rolled up Liu Wuji's heavy snakeskin, a round object suddenly rolled out of Liu Wuji's body.

He shouted in surprise: "Hey? What is this?"

Hearing his shout, everyone immediately gathered around.

Gu Zhendong took a closer look and said uncertainly: "If I'm not mistaken, this might be Liu Wuji's demon core (妖丹, yāo dān)..."
