The smile on the old man's face vanished instantly.

His hawk-like eyes were fixed on Chu Chen, filled with horror and killing intent.

How did you know?

The gray pigeon he kept was no ordinary bird; it was a "Spirit-Seeking Falcon" crafted using the sect's secret techniques, capable of sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was impossible for non-soulmates to detect.

How did you find this little thing?

Chu Chen put down the teacup, making a soft "clink" sound.

He jumped down from the high stool, dusted off non-existent dust, and slowly walked towards the old man in black.

"I not only know that you keep a bird, I also know that there are three poisonous insects hidden in your old bones."

Chu Chen walked up to the old man, looked up at his face, and smiled innocently.

"One heart-devouring Gu, two kidney-devouring Gu. Every full moon night, the pain is so intense you want to rip your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys out, right?"

The old man in black's pupils shrank, his face turned deathly pale, and he was filled with horror.

This is his biggest secret, a hidden injury he sustained while practicing evil arts, which even no one in the sect knows about!

How could that brat possibly see through it at a glance!

"Who...who are you?!" The old man's voice was hoarse, and he unconsciously took a step back.

The guests in the courtyard, witnessing this bizarre scene, dared not utter a sound.

How come this expert, who was so aggressive in challenging us just now, was so easily frightened by this little kid's few words?

Chu Chen didn't answer him, but instead pointed his little finger at the old man's chest.

"I'll give you one more chance."

"Kneel down now and kowtow three times to my grandfather, and I might consider crippling your cultivation and sparing your life."

"Arrogant!"

The old man in black was thoroughly enraged. As a respected elder of a reclusive sect, he had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace.

An invisible gust of wind suddenly exploded outwards, centered on him.

Several guests who were nearby felt as if they had been hit by a speeding truck; they groaned and fell to the ground, chairs and all.

The courtyard suddenly became heavy and oppressive.

Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest, making it difficult to breathe.

"What...what kind of kung fu is this?!"

"Internal energy is projected outwards! He's a martial arts master!"

Qian Bancheng's face turned pale, and he gripped the armrest of the chair next to him tightly. He had seen this kind of person when he was young; he could kill a bull with one punch.

Lin Jianguo was terrified. He tried to rush up and pull Chu Chen back, but found that his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move them at all.

"You little beast, die!"

The old man in black, with his beard and hair standing on end, didn't make a move. Instead, he raised his withered right hand and, from a distance of five or six meters, suddenly grabbed at Chu Chen.

An invisible, terrifying force, like an unseen hand, fiercely grabbed at Chu Chen's head.

He wanted to crush this brat's head in front of everyone, like cracking a walnut!

Just as that force was about to touch Chu Chen's hair.

Chu Chen didn't move at all, he just raised his eyelids and pursed his lips.

His little hand, which was in his pocket, flicked lightly.

"Buzz—"

The enormous Nine Dragon Cauldron in the backyard emitted a low, inaudible hum.

A golden thread, thinner than a hair, flashed across the cauldron and instantly disappeared into the ground.

next second.

The invisible hand that reached for Chu Chen vanished into thin air just an inch from his forehead.

Like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

"Um?"

The old man in black was taken aback.

How could his internal energy have disappeared?

Before he could figure it out, a force ten times more violent than the power he had just unleashed surged up from beneath his feet without warning and slammed into him.

"puff--"

The old man in black was blasted backward by the force, like a tattered sack.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs in the air, then slammed heavily onto the ground, smashing a fine eight-immortal table to pieces.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the old man, who lay sprawled among the wood chips, twitching like a dead dog.

Just a moment ago, he was so powerful and arrogant, but he just... lost?

In fact, that little miracle doctor didn't even move a finger!

Chu Chen walked over slowly, looking down at the old man on the ground.

He took a White Rabbit milk candy out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

"Tsk."

He chewed on his candy and spoke indistinctly.

"You're all so old, yet you have no sportsmanship. You try to cheat and ambush a five-year-old child like me."

He squatted down, his voice, though childish, carried a chilling mockery.

"Is this okay? This is not good."

"I advise this elderly comrade to think carefully about his actions and reflect on his behavior."

None of the people in the courtyard understood what "take care of yourself" meant, but they all understood what was said.

This child is humiliating that martial arts master.

"If young people aren't spirited, what kind of young people are they?" Chu Chen patted the old man's face. "I'm the kind of person who holds grudges."

The old man in black had all his meridians severed, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

He looked at the innocent face before him, and all that remained in his eyes was endless fear.

devil!

This child is a devil!

"Erha!" Chu Chen stood up and called out to the corner.

Zhou Tian scrambled over, his face contorted with a morbid excitement.

"Little miracle doctor, what are your orders?"

He had seen it clearly just now; this old man was even more arrogant than his grandfather, yet he was instantly subdued by the little miracle doctor with just a glance.

Following the little miracle doctor was definitely the right decision!

"This old man looks like he's a trained fighter; he's got good physique." Chu Chen pointed to the old man on the ground. "Perfect timing, you need an assistant to chop wood; you're not strong enough."

He paused for a moment, then gave the order.

"Strip him naked, tie him up tightly like you would a pig, and throw him into the woodshed in the backyard."

"From today onwards, he will be your second wood-splitting number two."

Zhou Tian's eyes lit up, and he slapped his chest.

"Yes, sir!"

He's already very familiar with this job.

He stepped forward and, to the old man's horrified gaze, quickly stripped him of his expensive black robe, leaving him with only a pair of shorts.

Then he took out a rope that he had prepared beforehand from his waist and skillfully tied the old man into a tight "big" shape.

The steward of a reclusive sect, a martial arts master whose every stomp could shake the region, was now being dragged by Zhou Tian with one hand, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, as he walked towards the backyard.

"No...you can't..."

The old man used his last bit of strength to let out a desperate roar.

But all he got in response was Zhou Tian's impatient cursing.

"What are you yelling about! If you yell again, you won't get any dinner tonight!"

The wealthy and powerful people in the courtyard, witnessing this absurd and terrifying scene, all turned pale and trembled.

They looked at the child standing in the middle of the yard, still chewing on a candy, with the same gaze they would give a god who had crawled out of hell.

Even legendary martial arts masters are no different from ants in front of this child.

To kill someone, you must also destroy their spirit.

Strip him naked and make him chop wood.

What a cruel and terrifying method this is!

Lin Jianguo clutched his heart, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

He knew his grandson was no ordinary person, but he never imagined he would be this extraordinary.

Ignoring the horrified gazes of everyone present, Chu Chen looked around before climbing back onto the high stool.

He picked up the celadon teacup and smacked it against the table with a soft "snap".

The crisp sound jolted everyone awake from their fear.

"Alright, the flies are gone."

Chu Chen licked the sugar stains from the corner of his mouth and revealed a sweet smile.

"Let's continue."

"Second item, the Rejuvenation Pill, anyone else interested?"
