Previously when Li Rufeng blocked the car incident, Gu Chenan didn't take much action, leaving him with some pent-up frustration.
Just now, after witnessing Gong Fei viciously stab Hoshino Kannon, the two incidents added together made Gu Chenan want to kill Gong Fei to vent his anger.
Gong Fei's martial arts skills were quite formidable, even superior to Hoshino Kannon's.
Combined with the Black Owl assassins behind him, he was undoubtedly a thorny opponent.
But Gu Chenan's confidence in facing them all alone stemmed from two sources.
Firstly, his mastery of the Primordial One Qi Exercise.
Secondly, the reward he gained from the previous storyline when Su Tianming was critically ill—two uses of the Indestructible Vajra Skill.
Earlier, Gu Chenan had inquired with the system, and the Indestructible Vajra Skill would last for an hour each time it was used.
During this hour, Gu Chenan's body would become indestructible, virtually impervious to any blade or weapon.
Gu Chenan rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, accentuating his trim waist and broad shoulders in the inverted triangle physique.
His eyes glinted with ferocity as he stared fixedly at Gong Fei in front of him.
Inside the manor.
The few remaining Ancient Martial World experts had already tended to Hoshino Kannon, performing simple first aid and starting her treatment after staunching the bleeding.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yajie and Xiao Jian stood by the window, their hearts uneasy as they watched the scene unfolding outside the manor.
"Dad, hurry and get someone to rescue Young Master Gu! There's no way Young Master Gu can stop those Black Owl people!"
Xiao Yajie was both anxious and sorrowful. In her eyes, everything Gu Chenan had done was for the Xiao Family, even though Gu Chenan had no prior connection with them whatsoever.
Yet Gu Chenan had repeatedly protected the Xiao Family!
"Don't rush me, I'm trying to find someone," Xiao Jian said, his head bowed as he frantically scrolled through his phone contacts.
He had called every expert in the Ancient Martial World, but upon hearing that the Black Owl assassins had already attacked and that many of the previous experts had been defeated, not a single person was willing to come.
Xiao Jian stamped his feet anxiously.
Gu Chenan had saved his life, and he didn't want to just stand by and watch as Gu Chenan was killed trying to rescue him.
Finally, Xiao Jian's finger stopped on Li Rufeng's number.
Without hesitation, he placed a call to Li Rufeng.
Downstairs, the Ancient Martial World experts treating Hoshino Kannon kept glancing out the window.
"Sigh, no need to look anymore. It's hopeless for Young Master Gu to hold them off."
"I heard Young Master Gu also practices martial arts. Maybe he..."
"Are you dreaming? You saw their skills. Even if Young Master Gu knows martial arts, could he really take on so many of them? Let me say this—if they set foot inside the Xiao residence, I'm leaving immediately without looking back."
"Exactly. The Xiao Family's compensation is high, but not high enough for us to risk our lives, right?"
After some discussion, they reached a consensus.
Gu Chenan would definitely not be able to fend off the Black Owls. If the Black Owls entered the Xiao residence, they would beg for mercy on the spot!
A real man knows when to bend and when to stand firm!
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood!
...
Outside the manor, Gong Fei raised an eyebrow, quite surprised by Gu Chenan's actions.
He didn't know who Gu Chenan was, only that anyone who dared to obstruct him deserved to die!
"State your name before you die," Gong Fei said condescendingly.
Gu Chenan smirked, "Your dad."
A simple verbal jab, but immensely satisfying.
The Black Owl members were all stunned.
Was this guy an idiot?
Didn't he understand the current situation?
"Heh." Gong Fei chuckled instead of getting angry. "You're quite courageous, or should I say foolish."
Seeing Gong Fei's overconfident demeanor, Gu Chenan stretched his wrists.
If there was a ranking for pretentiousness in the original storyline, Gong Fei would undoubtedly be at the top.
If you're going to fight, just fight. No need to put on airs and act all profound.
"I hope you can maintain that expression when I'm making you scream later," Gu Chenan said calmly as he took the initiative to approach Gong Fei.
The Black Owl members exchanged glances, utterly bewildered.
Just how confident was this guy to not only provoke Mr. Gong but even take the offensive?
Gu Chenan's actions startled the Black Owl members and also made Xiao Jian, Xiao Yajie, and the Ancient Martial World experts inside the manor widen their eyes in shock.
What was Young Master Gu trying to do, taking the initiative to approach them?
Before anyone could figure out Gu Chenan's intentions, they saw his figure suddenly accelerate, closing the distance to Gong Fei in a flash while simultaneously activating the Primordial One Qi Exercise and the Indestructible Vajra Skill.
Seeing Gu Chenan unarmed, Gong Fei confidently sheathed his curved blade.
In the next moment, the two figures intertwined.
Gong Fei threw a punch, and Gu Chenan, without dodging or evading, allowed the punch to land squarely on his chest while sweeping Gong Fei's waist with a vicious kick.
Bang!
A muffled thud echoed.
Gong Fei's body and hand trembled simultaneously, with intense pain shooting through his fist and waist.
He felt as though he had punched solid steel, while his waist felt like it had been struck by a swinging iron rod.
Instantly, he gasped for air, his scalp tingling and beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
However, with so many subordinates present, no matter how much it hurt, he couldn't let it show. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself not to cry out.
Meanwhile, Gu Chenan showed no signs of discomfort after taking the punch, standing firm and unmoving!
"What?"
"Young Master Gu's skills are actually enough to temporarily withstand that leader!"
Xiao Yajie and Xiao Jian were equally shocked. They didn't understand martial arts and couldn't discern any subtleties, so they initially thought the exchange meant the two fighters were evenly matched.
Xiao Jian suddenly became excited and opened the window to shout at Gu Chenan, "Young Master Gu, Director Li is on his way!"
However, the few Ancient Martial World experts were stunned by the scene, their eyes wide open.
"Not only did Young Master Gu block that man's attack, he even swept that man's stance with a single kick!"
"Young Master Gu's skills are so formidable!"
The experts, who had just been considering fleeing if the Black Owls entered, were left speechless by this turn of events.
Although they didn't know Gong Fei was one of The Twelve Owls, they had all previously exchanged blows with him!
In fact, if not for Hoshino Kannon's life-risking assistance, they would have all been killed by Gong Fei alone!
Yet now, not only had Gu Chenan blocked Gong Fei's assault, his strength seemed to surpass Gong Fei's as well!
Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow at the grimacing Gong Fei. "If it hurts, just scream. Don't hold it in, or you might end up injuring yourself."
"You..." Gong Fei gritted his teeth. "You're asking for death!"
"Don't want to admit it, huh? Fine!" Gu Chenan took another step forward, advancing on Gong Fei. "Let's see if your waist is really made of iron!"
Gong Fei panicked and hastily counterattacked.
But Gu Chenan's figure flickered, suddenly appearing at Gong Fei's left side before viciously driving his knee into Gong Fei's waist.
Gong Fei's pupils dilated, but Gu Chenan was too fast for him to evade.
Bang!
Another muffled thud.
Gong Fei's expression contorted, his molars clenched tightly as his jaw muscles bulged.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ...

fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
