Chu Feng was dead, and Chu Yuxuan had no reason to stay any longer.
He turned to leave.
Suddenly, his steps faltered, and he looked towards the dense forest beside them.
"You're quite brave, aren't you, sneaking around here, wanting to watch the show?"
Chu Chen glanced indifferently at the bushes behind Chu Yuxuan and said lightly.
A moment later.
A figure emerged.
It was the young girl who had clashed with Chu Yuxuan and Chu Feng in the Desolate Forbidden Zone.
She was tall, with healthy bronze skin, a full chest, and well-defined muscles.
She possessed a beautiful and delicate face, with peach blossom eyes that sparkled like stars.
Her nose was delicate and straight, her lips alluring, exuding a wild beauty.
"Hmph, Chu Chen, I didn't expect you to have such a useless sister."
She glanced at Chu Yuxuan and said with a mocking tone.
Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Chu Rou, are you here to apologize to me?"
"Pah! You think you're worthy?"
Chu Rou said coldly, "Today, you will surely die!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Rou drew her saber and attacked Chu Chen.
Rumble!
The air vibrated as if being torn apart.
This strike was fierce and formidable!
Although Chu Rou was a girl, she possessed combat strength far beyond the Martial Apprentice realm.
Her speed was astonishing, and in an instant, she was upon Chu Chen.
However, in the next moment, a terrifying force erupted!
Crack!
Bones shattered.
"How is this possible... You clearly haven't reached the Martial Apprentice realm, how could you..." Chu Rou was incredulous.
Her arm hung limply.
Chu Chen said coldly, "Someone like you isn't even a tenth of my strength."
Chu Chen snorted.
He hadn't used his full power, of course.
His cultivation was too weak.
However, the tempering of his physical body far surpassed that of ordinary people at the same level.
Coupled with the hundreds of pounds of蛮龙 beast blood stored within him, he could naturally unleash astonishing power!
"Chu Chen!" Chu Yuxuan cried out, trying to stop him.
But it was too late.
Chu Chen punched Chu Rou, sending her flying several feet.
Pfft!
She vomited a mouthful of blood, fell heavily to the ground, and lost consciousness.
She was severely injured and unable to stand for a considerable time.
"Unbearable!" Chu Chen shook his head.
Then, he turned to Chu Yuxuan, "Chu Yuxuan, answer me when I ask.
If you are honest, I will spare your life. Otherwise, you will surely die!"
After saying this, he walked towards Chu Rou.
"Chu Chen! No!" Chu Yuxuan was in a panic. "Please spare my sister!"
"You are not worthy of being a descendant of the Chu family's direct line, I will kill you!"
Chu Yuxuan was filled with grief and indignation.
She gathered her vital energy, preparing to fight to the death.
"Scram."
Chu Chen casually flicked his sleeve, and the surging vital energy transformed into a sword, directly repelling Chu Yuxuan.
With a dull thud.
She crashed against the wall, spat out a mouthful of blood, and completely fainted.
Chu Chen frowned and ignored her.
He squatted down and examined Chu Rou's injuries.
"Internal organs damaged, bones shattered."
"If not for the protective vital energy infused into her dantian, she would likely have been shaken to death by now."
Chu Chen sighed.
He had originally been reluctant to deal with Chu Yuxuan.
After all, in his opinion, they were mere acquaintances, and he had no reason to risk himself to save her.
Unfortunately, Chu Yuxuan was too foolish and didn't cherish the opportunity.
"Fine."
Chu Chen finally sighed, reached out, and his fingertip flashed with golden light.
Buzz buzz buzz!
A strange fluctuation rippled, and brilliant radiance emerged from Chu Chen's fingertip, like a small sun, illuminating the entire cave.
This light merged into Chu Rou's body.
A moment later.
She slowly woke up.
Chu Chen deactivated the healing technique, "I have cleared the hidden ailments in your body, you can recover now."
Chu Rou stared blankly at her right arm, unable to speak for a long time.
"Thank..."
Chu Rou wanted to thank Chu Chen.
But before she could finish, Chu Chen had already turned and left.
Watching Chu Chen's retreating back, Chu Rou bit her lip, her eyes reddening, "Chu Chen, thank you!"
She had not forgotten Chu Chen's warning.
Therefore, she did not chase after him.
"Chu Chen! Wait for me! I'll go with you!"
Chu Yuxuan got up from the ground and ran towards Chu Chen, pulling at the hem of his clothes.
She looked at him with pleading eyes, "Chu Chen, I beg you, take me with you, okay?
Don't worry, I will definitely repay your kindness!"
"I said, I don't need your repayment."
Chu Chen shook his head, "Besides, the Chu family is long gone, what's the point of you going back?"
"Don't lie to me," Chu Yuxuan cried.
"Your parents, your grandfather, are all in the family, they wouldn't abandon me!"
Chu Chen remained silent.
"Don't lie to me... Please, please..." Chu Yuxuan's tears streamed down her face.
After a long while.
Chu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Alright."
...
Three days later.
The two left the wilderness and returned to the Chu family town.
This was a prosperous and bustling market.
"Brother, where is this?"
Chu Rou looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with some trepidation.
She had only heard of the Chu family but had never been to Chu Family Town.
Chu Chen said, "Chu Family."
"Chu Family?" Chu Rou was startled, then her expression turned incredulous.
"You don't mean to say, the Chu family is the Chu family from our village, do you?"
Chu Chen did not respond.
"How is that possible!"
Chu Rou's eyes widened.
"Our home is at the end of this street, that two-story building is it," Chu Yuxuan pointed ahead.
Following Chu Yuxuan's direction, Chu Chen's gaze shifted slightly, a hint of coldness appearing.
Ahead.
In the center of a row of buildings, a plaque stood, clearly bearing the words "Chu Family."
However, this Chu family was now an empty ruin, with only broken walls and cobwebs remaining.
"Chu Feng and Qin Yao's soul imprints are still here, though extremely faint.
It is clear their lifespans have reached their end."
Chu Chen's expression was calm.
He felt no emotion towards the fate of Chu Feng and Qin Yao, the two unfaithful individuals, even finding it amusing.
He had known since childhood that his father, Chu Feng, never loved his mother, Qin Yao.
In Chu Feng's eyes, his mother Qin Yao was merely a tool.
He had never treated Qin Yao as his wife.
And Chu Chen's mother had never truly regarded Chu Feng as her husband.
During their time in the Chu family.
His relationship with his father was strained, and they would argue every time they met.
Later, as Chu Chen grew up, he gradually understood everything.
He was only nine years old that year.
Nine years old, he was ignorant and naive.
Chu Feng was eight years older than him and had been his idol since childhood.
But as he grew older, Chu Feng's words and actions gradually became perverse and twisted.
His tricks for tormenting people were endless.
He hated!
He was in pain!
He despaired!
But he still chose not to escape.
Because he knew that escape would never solve the problem!
In the end, Chu Chen endured humiliation and hardship, maturing steadily step by step.
He not only learned various skills but also secretly practiced secret techniques, honing his martial arts to the extreme!
