My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 208 - 206: Abyss of Magic (Part 4)

Council Hall.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

"So many days have passed, and you still haven't clarified the investigation?" Gao Fei asked in a deep voice.

"We're investigating. There will be news in a few days," Elder Leng Daqiu said indifferently, "Go back and wait. I'll find you when there's news."

"I can wait! My friend can't wait!" Gao Fei's face darkened: "My friend has been afflicted with the Heartbreak Gu, and his condition worsens day by day, now even breathing has become difficult..."

"Why are you telling me this?" Leng Daqiu said impatiently, waving his hand, "I told you a few days ago, your friend's life or death has nothing to do with me."

"You..." Gao Fei's brows shot up: "Isn't your heart a bit too harsh?"

"Heartless?" Leng Daqiu let out a cold laugh, "I am not obligated to save your friend. If it weren't for the investigation into Zhu Feng's death, I would have kicked you out long ago."

Gao Fei slowly exhaled and looked at Leng Daqiu with icy eyes, "I'll ask you one last time: Will you save my friend or not?"

"No," Leng Daqiu said without hesitation.

"You old bastard!" Gao Fei's eyes bulged, and he cursed loudly: "You're a faceless, shameless old bastard!"

"Bang!"

Leng Daqiu slapped the table and stood up: "You dare to insult me!"

"I'm going to hit you too." Gao Fei raised his fist and swung a punch.

"Bang!"

Leng Daqiu was sent flying on the spot, knocking over the table and crashing to the ground, a stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Old man, I'm going to beat you up good today," Gao Fei didn't let up after gaining the upper hand, rushing over and started punching and kicking Leng Daqiu, who was a skilled fighter, but stood no chance against Gao Fei.

Leng Daqiu's specialty was in using Gu, able to stealthily place Gu insects on someone without them noticing. Just now, Leng Daqiu attempted to use his techniques to affix a Gu on Gao Fei, but all had failed. The moment the Gu insects got close to Gao Fei, they would disintegrate immediately.

What kind of monster is this that even Gu insects can't get close?

Leng Daqiu inwardly lamented, unsure of what to do next. At the end of the day, he had simply underestimated Gao Fei, or perhaps misjudged his strength, resulting in the current situation where he was at a disadvantage and getting beaten up.

"Aoow... Aoow..."

Leng Daqiu took out a flute from his chest and blew into it, seemingly calling for reinforcements.

"Blow, blow hard, summon everyone from the fort. If one comes, I'll strike down one, if a pair comes, I'll take down both!" Gao Fei scoffed, "Today I'm going to create havoc in Nine Bends Fort!"

"Tap tap tap..."

The people from the fort all ran over, and eventually even the Village Chief Nong Zizai arrived.

"All of you, get down," Gao Fei clenched his fists and charged into the crowd, throwing punches and kicks wildly, with constant cries of pain and terror ringing out.

"How dare you, thief!"

Nong Zizai waved his large sleeve, and a dozen tiny Gu insects shot toward Gao Fei at an inconceivable speed.

"Bang bang bang..."

In a sight that made Nong Zizai do a double-take, the dozen Gu insects hadn't even touched Gao Fei's body when they all exploded, turning into sprays of blood that fell to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Nong Zizai spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale. Each of the dozen Gu insects had been carefully cultivated by him, with one of them even being his Life-bound Gu. Now that all of the Gu insects were dead, he also suffered backlash.

"This thief is too strong! Men, attack him together!" Nong Zizai, enduring the pain in his body, bellowed, "Throw all your Gu insects at him, we must kill him today!!! Whoever dares to cause trouble in Nine Bends Fort will pay a heavy price!"

"Pssh..."

"Pupu pupu pupu..."

"Swipe swipe swipe..."

Thousands of Gu insects swarmed to attack Gao Fei. There were black ones, white, gray, and even red ones... of varied colors and shapes, all with different sizes and types. A nauseating horde, they looked dreadful as they closed in.

"Hmph!"

Gao Fei stayed put, not dodging or ducking. With a shake of his shoulder, a layer of flames emerged on the surface of his body. The flames were black, eerily peculiar; they were not ordinary flames, but the fearsome Demonic Flame! Gao Fei had discovered the cultivation methods within the Demon God Heritage and practiced for a long time before achieving small success.

According to the records of the Demon God Heritage, Demonic Flame was a terrifying kind of flame, considered on par with the Samadhi True Fire from the Immortal Realm. When cultivated to the utmost level, it could burn through anything; its power knew no bounds!

Gao Fei chose to practice it precisely because of the terrifying power of the Demonic Flame.

Having succeeded in his cultivation, this was the first time Gao Fei was using the Demonic Flame. "Today, let me witness the power of the Demonic Flame!"

"Crackle... Crackle..."

"Snap snap snap..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Any Gu insect that touched the Demonic Flame instantly disintegrated into nothing, dispersing into the air as the wind blew them away.

To describe it in one word, it would be "moths to a flame."

Indeed, like moths to a flame, even though they knew they would die if they continued, these Gu insects still relentlessly threw themselves towards it, but with the black Demonic Flame protecting his body, these Gu insects couldn't harm Gao Fei at all.

From a distance, Gao Fei looked like a War God emerging from the fire! Commanding heaven and earth, his presence was one of absolute supremacy!

His aura was unparalleled!

"My Gu insects..."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft..."

In the instant the Gu insects perished, many people began to vomit blood. With their Life-bound Gu destroyed, they suffered backlash, of course, they would vomit blood. They were lucky not to die on the spot.

This was the risk of raising Gu. As long as the Gu insect lived, its master would be fine, but if the Gu insect met with an accident, the master would suffer backlash, with light injuries at best and death at worst.

"Recall the Gu insects! Recall them!" Nong Zizai bellowed, "Hurry and recall them!" Seeing thousands of Gu insects burnt to death, Nong Zizai was in utter agony. These Gu insects were the lifeblood of the fort; the death of even one was a significant loss.

Actually, without Nong Zizai having to remind them, others had already begun to recall their Gu insects. Unfortunately... only a small portion of the Gu insects were reclaimed; the vast majority were destroyed.

"You... you..." Nong Zizai glared at Gao Fei, shaking with rage, "You demon... to destroy so many Gu insects..."

"Boom!"

Gao Fei extinguished the Demonic Flame, and with a cold smirk said, "All of this was brought on by yourselves! I originally wanted to talk with you peacefully and avoid conflict as much as possible, but you again and again provoked me. Do you really think I'm made of clay? That I won't get angry? Hmph! Let me tell you clearly now, if you push me too far, the consequences will be dire!"

"You... you damn scoundrel..." Nong Zizai, his lungs near exploding with anger, said, "I won't let you off... I definitely won't let you off!!!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to say," Gao Fei snorted coldly. "Today, I am going to kill all of you and wipe Nine Bends Fort off the map!" Saying this, Gao Fei erupted with an intimidating killing intent.

These people from Miaojiang were best at Gu Art, but their actual strength wasn't high. Once the effectiveness of their Gu Art was gone, these Miaojiang people were weakened, like tigers that had lost their teeth and no longer had any deterrent power.

As it happened, Nine Bends Fort was quite unfortunate. For a century, it had dominated Miaojiang with such glory and power, but now it was suffering a miserable defeat at the hands of Gao Fei. The painstakingly cultivated Gu insects had been decimated, a loss that truly impaired their strength!

"You dare!" Nong Zizai roared.

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Gao Fei reached into his bosom, fumbled for a moment, and then pulled out a huge hammer.

"Eh?" Nong Zizai stood frozen. How could this large hammer have been concealed on his person? Nong Zizai couldn't fathom it; it was simply too inconceivable!

"Boom!!!"

Gao Fei lifted the hammer high and slammed it down forcefully, causing the entire hall to shake, and the ground...a bottomless fissure appeared, from which a chilling air slowly emanated...

Nong Zizai shuddered, a trace of terror flitting across his eyes.

The others were equally shocked and instinctively retreated.

"I stand right here! Who dares to come and battle me?" Gao Fei brandished the hammer, calling out loudly.

The scene fell into silence, with no one responding.

"What? Have you all chickened out?" Gao Fei sneered, "Weren't you all so arrogant just now? Why the change of heart? Come on! Come and hit me!"

Watching Gao Fei's arrogant demeanor, Nong Zizai and the others felt their blood boil with rage. They really wanted to rush forward and tear Gao Fei apart, but... they didn't dare. Gao Fei was too ferocious; they were no match for him, and to advance would only mean a senseless death.

Humiliated!

Frustrated!

Depressed!

Nine Bends Fort was the strongest fort in Miaojiang, and for centuries, no one dared to provoke it. Gradually, its people developed an air of arrogance. Over the years, they had only ever bullied others; they had never been bullied in return.

This was a slap to their face!

A harsh slap indeed!

"Don't think that just because you outnumber me, I can't annihilate you all!" Gao Fei shouted angrily, "After I kill you all, I will destroy this fort! From that point on, Nine Bends Fort will cease to exist in Miaojiang!" With that, Gao Fei swung the hammer and smashed the ground once more.

"Crack!"

Another fissure split the ground.

"...What do you really want..." Nong Zizai asked through gritted teeth, the question itself an admission of his capitulation.

"It's not about what I want, it's about what you really want!" Gao Fei pointed Nong Zizai's nose with the hammer, "I ask you just one question now, do you want to live or die? And the rest of you!" Gao Fei turned to look at the others, "Do you want to live, or do you want to die!!!"

Who needs to ask such a question? Any normal person would give the same answer...

"Of course, we want to live," Nong Zizai said, "Who would choose death when they could cling to life? If we can live, who would wish to die?"

"Good, I'll give you one chance," Gao Fei grumbled, "First, apologize to me. Second, heal my friend. Third, hold no grudges, nor use any cunning schemes to retaliate against me. Meet these three conditions, and I will spare you."

Nong Zizai's mouth twitched, then he gave a wry smile, "The first and third conditions I can agree to, but the second... I cannot do..."

"What!" Gao Fei glared, "You motherfucker really want to die, don't you!" Of the three conditions Gao Fei put forward, the second was the most important.
