Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

On the way, Zhu Yuan used his internal energy several times to try to lift the restrictions on Julie.

The spiritual energy probed in, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea; the restriction remained completely unmoved.

Everyone was secretly alarmed; this guy really did have some strange methods.

A group of seven men, exuding murderous intent, arrived at Luo Chen's residence. Zhu Shun was the first to shout at him:

"Luo Chen, how dare you bully my sister and ruin her reputation! Come out and face your death!"

Inside the room, Luo Chen smiled coldly and slowly pushed open the door to leave.

His gaze swept over Zhu Yuan, Niu Fang, Zhu Li, and Zhu Shun. The four of them had frosty faces and sharp eyes, as if it were only natural that Luo Chen was the one who deserved to die.

Upon seeing him appear, Zhu Yuan took a ferocious step forward.

"Luo Chen, you bastard! You tricked the Zhu family into providing you with a life of luxury, yet you repay kindness with enmity, break the contract, and ruin Li'er's innocence. You truly deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

Luo Chen coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, finally settling on Zhu Yuan's face.

"It's true that old habits die hard. Even now, you're still so hypocritical. It would be better if you just spoke frankly."

"What's with all this talk of being open and aboveboard? You're destined to die, and you have every reason to die. Everyone here has witnessed it. Is there any need for further explanation?"

Zhu Yuan snorted coldly, staring fiercely at Luo Chen.

"Since I'm destined to die, why are you hiding it from me? Wouldn't it be better to let me die knowing why?"

Luo Chen spoke calmly, looking at the Zhu family members.

"Luo Chen, stop your nonsense! Didn't you say you'd lift the restrictions on me when my father returned? Hurry up and lift them! You're not going to be a faithless scoundrel, are you?"

Julie gritted her teeth and glared at Luo Chen, unwilling for him to ask about the other reason.

"You scoundrel? Do you take me for a member of the Zhu family? Come here, I'll help you get out of this mess."

Julie abruptly took a step back.

Let her go? She wouldn't be stupid enough to walk right into a trap; it's obvious she's using herself as a hostage.

"The past? Dream on! Now you have no chance of escape, you're doomed. Once I capture you, why would you hesitate to lift the restrictions for me?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, wondering if it was really necessary.

"Your idea is very ambitious, but let's see if your Zhu family has the ability to implement it."

"You're about to die and you're still being stubborn! You'll be crying later!" Julie stomped her foot angrily.

Zhu Yuan's anger intensified upon hearing this. Did they really not take the Zhu family seriously?

What gives a discarded fodder and a piece of trash the right to be so arrogant!

"You brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly! Three elders, this beast is yours to deal with; his life or death is irrelevant!"

Jiao Hai and the other two exchanged glances, each harboring their own thoughts.

Didn't they say they were just here to lend a hand? Why are they leading the charge?

But the head of the family had given the order, and he could not openly disobey, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Young Master Luo, as you've seen, I advise you to surrender to avoid a fight and escalating the conflict."

Luo Chen glanced at the three men; these people had never done anything to harm him before.

He sought revenge for his grudges, but had no intention of indiscriminately killing innocent people.

"Are you sure you want to help the Zhu family kill me?"

Jiao Hai glanced at Zhu Yuan beside him, then cupped his hands and said:

"We are guest elders of the Zhu family, and it is our duty to share the burdens of the family head. If anything unexpected happens when we actually take action, we hope that Young Master Luo will not hold a grudge against us."

"If that's the case, then let's do it."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the stubborn ghost to stop, Luo Chen said no more.

Jiao Hai turned to look at Wan Tao and Ma Kui; he didn't want to take on this whole mess by himself.

"Gentlemen, the young master is quite skilled. Let's attack together."

The two responded, naturally understanding his thoughts.

To put it bluntly, they just don't want to take the blame alone.

"Alright, let's do it all at once then. Sorry to offend you, Young Master Luo!"

Without further hesitation, the three unleashed their inner energy, causing their aura to surge and their robes to flutter wildly.

Zhu Yuan narrowed his eyes. He wanted to see what Luo Chen was relying on to not run away after getting such an advantage.

These three were his touchstone.

All three of them possessed the strength of the fourth level of the Grandmaster realm; any one of them could easily handle someone who had just entered the Grandmaster realm.

With the three of them attacking at once, even if Luo Chen had other trump cards up his sleeve, they would force him to reveal them.

At that time, he was confident that he could capture the traitor.

If I can retrieve the spiritual material and extract his spiritual yang body, I can break through that major bottleneck in one fell swoop!

"Wait! Elders, the man surnamed Luo cannot die yet. I still need him to lift the restrictions for me. Break both his legs and dislocate one of his arms."

Julie suddenly spoke up, calling out to the three of them.

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say, Miss."

These words were exactly what the three of them wanted to hear.

Even if Luo Chen is an outcast of the Luo family, if he really dies at their hands, the Luo family might still come after them.

Jiao Hai, Wan Tao, and Ma Kui shifted their positions and slowly surrounded Luo Chen from three directions, subtly blocking his retreat.

"Since you've made your choice, you must pay the price for it."

Luo Chen sneered, took a step forward, and actually took the initiative to meet him.

hum!

At the same time, a high-grade mortal-level longsword flew out and was grasped in his palm.

The sword trembled slightly, its cold light flickering.

Upon seeing the sword, the Zhu family members were all startled.

"Lily, how did this sword end up in his hands?"

Zhu Yuan's face suddenly darkened, and he glared fiercely at Julie.

"Father, please calm down! He forced me into the Spirit Treasure Vault, and he took everything from it. But don't worry, Father, as long as we capture him, we can get all of these things back!" Julie hurriedly explained.

"You're utterly foolish! Even if you manage to get the sword back, what chance do you have of getting those rare and precious materials back if he's already absorbed and refined them?"

Zhu Yuan was furious. That treasure vault contained the accumulated wealth of his Zhu family over decades!

They had hoped that with their existing wealth and the gains from the Abyss, the Zhu family could rise to prominence in a short period of time.

Now that hope has been shattered.

If Julie hadn't already been chosen by Gao Yang as a potential concubine and still had value to the Zhu family, he would have loved to kill her with a single blow.

Seeing that her father's gaze seemed to want to devour her whole, Julie was so frightened that she shrank back and dared not utter another sound.

In his heart, however, he hated Luo Chen to the core.

If he hadn't ruined my innocence and seized the Spirit Treasure Vault, how could I have suffered such humiliation!

"What are you all standing there for? Seize this traitor immediately! Sever his three limbs, leaving only his hand! I'll make him wish he were dead, a hundredfold he'll pay for this!"

Zhu Yuan was furious and roared at the three of them.

Jiao Hai and the other two sensed Zhu Yuan's raging fury and responded in unison, taking a step forward with a steady, mountain-like gait.

The next moment, their feet stopped, and three figures, like three streaks of light, rushed straight towards Luo Chen, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind.

"Wind-Breaking Blade!"

"Mountain-Shaking Fist!"

"Wave-Slaying Sword!"

The fist's force rolled like muffled thunder, and the sword's light flashed like snowflakes across the sky!

The sword energy transformed into a serpentine python, tearing through the air with a sharp, piercing sound.

Three people, three kills, their momentum is overwhelming.

Let alone a newly promoted grandmaster, even a grandmaster at the fifth level would find it difficult to escape unscathed under this combined attack.

Zhu Yuan nodded slightly, while Niu Fang and Zhu Shun looked pleased and waited for the result.

Julie couldn't help but inwardly cheer.

Once I capture him, I'll watch how I torture this beast to death!
