Chapter 1414 Tai Chi Master
"That's fine too."
Chen Xuan appeared indifferent.
He thought to himself, the further you run, the better. He wouldn't object even if you went to another country!
Upon hearing this, Ge Guozhi and Steward Ge were filled with disdain for Chen Xuan.
With such a mindset, anyone else would have guessed that great disaster was imminent. Yet, this fellow hadn't realized it, truly the lowest of the low.
He wondered how his elder brother had suffered such a setback because of this brat.
His elder brother referred to was Ge Xiong, the head of the Ge family.
After another ten-plus minutes of driving, they had arrived in the deep mountains and old forests. The road was covered with thick fallen leaves, and the distant sound of unknown animals howling could be heard. It was dusk, but the sky had already turned gloomy, appearing somewhat eerie and terrifying.
"Mr. Ge, we've arrived." The driver said indifferently.
Ge Guozhi glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "Mr. Chen, please alight. We have reached our destination."
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan hopped out of the car, followed by Ge Guozhi and the Ge family steward.
Chen Xuan looked at the surroundings and nodded slightly, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect Kyoto to have such scenery. It has a certain otherworldly charm."
Tall trees towered around them, their dense leaves slicing the dusk into mottled patches of light and shadow.
Layers of yellow leaves reflected a golden light.
This was also a high ground, offering a view of hundreds of miles of scenery, refreshing the mind and soul, and evoking awe at nature's greatness and one's own insignificance. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"Mr. Chen, it's time we discussed serious matters."
Ge Guozhi's expression turned grim, and his tone was icy, as if he had no mood to appreciate the scenery. But that was understandable; his precious son was likely dead, so how could he be in the mood for sightseeing?
"Alright."
"Mr. Chen, where exactly is my son?"
"Mr. Ge, to be honest, I really don't know." Chen Xuan shook his head, his expression calm.
"However, according to the information I've received, you were the only one who saw my son when he disappeared, and you had a conflict with him. Then my son vanished. Your words are simply unconvincing."
Ge Guozhi said coldly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. But it wasn't a conflict as you put it; it was your son who came looking for trouble with me. We exchanged a few words, and then I left. As for where your son went, how would I know? Perhaps he's still lying on some woman's belly."
Chen Xuan said casually.
"Brat, it seems you have no intention of telling the truth!"
Ge Guozhi's face was extremely grim. He looked at Steward Ge and said, "Steward Ge, stop wasting words. I believe this matter is definitely related to him. Even if it's not, cripple him first!"
"Mr. Ge, I think this brat is also not being honest. Let's make him suffer a bit first."
The steward Ge smiled, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
With Ge Guozhi's tacit approval, Steward Ge sneered at Chen Xuan, "Brat, do you know what my nickname in the martial world is?"
"What is it?"
Chen Xuan blurted out the question, cooperating perfectly.
"Ruthless Judge!"
Chen Xuan blinked, finding the title somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, he recalled the information he had seen. It was rumored that the Ruthless Judge was an extremely brutal fellow who carried dozens of extremely cruel torture instruments, tormenting people to the brink of death before killing them.
After the Ruthless Judge killed a major figure, it caused a huge uproar. That family poured all their resources into a bounty to hunt down the Ruthless Judge, but from then on, the Ruthless Judge seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Some said...
"You're that torturous Ruthless Judge?"
"I didn't expect that after more than twenty years, you, a young man, still know my name. Very good, there will be a reward. I'll give you another set of tortures later." Steward Ge chuckled.
"Since you know me, you should also know the origin of my name. My name comes precisely from having too many torture instruments."
As he spoke, he took out a thick cloth bag. The bag was spread open, revealing many bottles and jars, knives, forks, hooks...
Poisons, various torture tools, simple as they were, he had thousands of ways to make people suffer excruciating pain!
"Which one do you want to try first?"
Steward Ge looked at Chen Xuan and asked with a smile.
"I don't want any of them. If you want to try, I can help you with that."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
"Ridiculous. Don't think anyone will come to save you. In these deep mountains and old forests, no one can save you. Just tell the truth." Steward Ge said.
"Who said I'm waiting for someone to save me?"
Steward Ge was stunned. He noticed Chen Xuan's unusual calmness. He had killed so many people, yet this was the first time he had encountered someone who was so calm under his authority, especially someone who knew his name.
There were only two types of such people: the first were idiots, and the second were those with absolute power to deal with him.
Clearly, Chen Xuan was not the first type, leaving only the second!
"Mr. Ge, retreat quickly!"
Steward Ge pushed Ge Guozhi behind him, his eyes like a hawk's, fixed on Chen Xuan.
His gaze was filled with vigilance.
"Steward Ge, are you mistaken? This brat doesn't look that dangerous at all." Ge Guozhi frowned.
"Did I make a mistake?"
Steward Ge frowned, looking at Chen Xuan's harmless appearance, he felt he might have been mistaken. How could Chen Xuan, at such a young age, be a master of the Divine Realm?
After all, with his strength, even an ordinary Divine Realm master was no match for him!
"Damn it, you almost tricked me, brat!"
Steward Ge was furious, and his tensed nerves relaxed. "Brat, today I'll let you witness my strength!"
The steward Ge slowly stepped forward, adopting a Tai Chi starting stance.
Chen Xuan was startled. He hadn't expected Steward Ge to be a Tai Chi master, which was beyond his expectation.
He strode forward and threw a punch.
The steward Ge slowly raised his hand. He looked very frail, but he gently guided Chen Xuan's punch away, neutralizing it. With another forward push, Chen Xuan was sent flying back more than ten meters, nearly falling off the cliff!
"Steward Ge's strength has greatly increased!" Ge Guozhi praised without reservation.
"Mr. Ge, you flatter me. My old bones can't take much more. After this job, I'll retire." Steward Ge smiled.
"Steward Ge, if you're so capable, why would you retire?" Ge Guozhi said.
Steward Ge looked at Chen Xuan and said menacingly, "Surrender quickly, and you'll suffer less physical pain!"
"I think it's you who should surrender!"
Chen Xuan moved, and immediately rushed forward, throwing another punch.
"To use such a crude move, it's truly embarrassing."
Steward Ge scoffed.
However, just as Steward Ge was about to repeat his trick, preparing to deflect Chen Xuan's punch, Chen Xuan's fist suddenly exerted more force!
