Chapter 514: Chapter 515 Sword Demon [4th Update, Please Subscribe]

This time, Wu Tian came to the herbal medicine company alone because he had something to discuss with Xia Qian. He hadn’t expected to encounter someone like Lai En. To such an ant, Wu Tian said simply, "Choose your own way to die!"

The meaning of these words was simple and clear: I’ll give you many paths, and every single one leads to death.

"No... you can’t kill me." Thinking of something, Lai En shuddered and said, "You’re the world’s richest man, and seventy percent of your wealth is in Western countries. Of that portion, twenty percent relies on my family’s promotional channels. If you kill me, our cooperation ends. Then you won’t be the world’s richest man, only the second!"

This was his only hope. He prayed Wu Tian would spare him for this reason. Lai En was very hopeful, feeling that he hadn’t offended Wu Tian too severely; his crime did not warrant death. If Wu Tian were a smart man, he would surely let him off the hook. Lai En’s bodyguards also nodded to themselves, thinking their young master was clever. To have a sudden burst of intellect during a crisis was truly impressive.

Only Xia Qian looked at Lai En as if he were an idiot.

"Money... You can’t take it with you when you die!" Wu Tian chuckled sarcastically. "If you think that can save your life, then I can only say... you’re a moron!"

Wu Tian’s words stunned Lai En. Does this mean he won’t let me go, no matter what? Why? Lai En didn’t understand. Money... isn’t it important? He didn’t get it, but he knew one thing: it was time to fight for his life.

"Attack together!"

Even if I die, I’ll land one punch on you! With this resolve, Lai En and his bodyguards charged toward Wu Tian. Lai En swung his fist, stirring up a gust of wind. His Martial Skills had been honed using a Scientific Cultivation Device, as normal Cultivation was too arduous.

BOOM!

As they attacked together, the wind they generated caused the office furniture to sway wildly. By now, even ordinary people in this metropolis were aware of the Martial Arts World, and many of them cultivated Martial Skills. With several of them striking in unison, they possessed the might of Wu Song; even a fierce, striped tiger would meet a bitter end under their fists.

Unfortunately, their opponent was Wu Tian.

"You didn’t choose to hang yourselves or to slit your own throats. Instead, you chose to be beaten to death by me? That is the least wise choice of all."

Wu Tian sneered coldly. If the little one were here, she would look down on Lai En and his bodyguards. Why not choose to die of old age? A happy death? An orgasmic one?

Then, Wu Tian gently exhaled. What happened next was dumbfounding. What good could a single breath do? But under the force of Wu Tian’s breath, Lai En and his bodyguards were suddenly frozen in place. Then, the fierce fists they had aimed at Wu Tian turned to ash, as if they had experienced some unspeakably cruel and terrifying ordeal.

Witnessing this, Xia Qian was stunned.

Lai En and his bodyguards were in agony. Their faces were contorted, veins throbbing on their foreheads from the pain. They wanted to scream, but no sound would come out. They could only watch as their arms vanished, then their chests disappeared. Finally, their entire bodies turned to ash, leaving not even a trace of bone behind.

"You..." Looking at the scene, Xia Qian didn’t know what to say. Her beautiful eyes simply stared at Wu Tian, motionless. Has he lost weight these past few days? Or gained some? If anyone else had done this in front of her, she would have been furious, thinking him a fierce and rude man. But that’s the nature of love; when you like someone, you feel that everything they do is right!

"This fruit is for you. You can eat half and use the other half for research."

The herbal medicine company was also partially owned by Wu Tian. If the Ginsengfruit could be cultivated using modern technology, that would be better than anything.

After handing a Ginsengfruit to Xia Qian, Wu Tian simply said, "Goodbye," and left immediately.

Staring blankly, Xia Qian desperately wanted to call out to him. She had so, so much she wanted to say, but the words reached her lips only to turn into tears of longing. Alas, is this just unrequited love? All she could do was nibble her lip, her voice quieter than a mosquito’s buzz as she whispered, "Please, take care of yourself."

Wu Tian, who had already reached the ground floor of the company building, heard her voice clearly and sighed. He couldn’t help but recall a line from a song: *The peak has returned, the path has turned, why suffer this heartache? Love is a dilemma that no one can resolve!*

After that, Wu Tian went straight back to Boundless Corporation. The employees were overjoyed to see their CEO return. Lately, thanks to their own efforts, their monthly salaries had reached 30,000 or even 70,000. There was even one ordinary employee who, by working harder than anyone else, had earned an impressive 900,000 in a single month.

Boundless Corporation had adopted a profit-sharing system. In addition to a base salary of two, three, or five thousand, there were much greater benefits from profit shares, reaching 30,000, 50,000, or 100,000 and beyond.

Wu Tian had given them this happy life. In their hearts, he was a god. Some people claimed that Dugu Fa, the leader of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country and a man like the legendary Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, was now Wu Tian’s equal. But the employees of Boundless Corporation disagreed. How could a mere man contend with a god?

「That evening.」

After finishing work, Wu Tian spent the afternoon reviewing the company’s recent operations. He was very satisfied. Boundless Corporation was now the number one corporation in the world. Although some Western families were catching up, Wu Tian wasn’t concerned. As long as he launched a few new products, he could easily leave those prominent Western families in the dust.

After the official end of the workday, Wu Tian noticed that many employees still hadn’t left. They were working overtime. The more they worked, the higher their profit share, and the people staying late were all making over 30,000 a month.

Wu Tian smiled, took out his phone, and opened a food delivery app. He ordered takeout for everyone: fruit cups, fresh juices, and combo meals from brand-name restaurants.

Then, amid cheers of "Long live the CEO!", Wu Tian put on a hat and mask and left the corporation.

Walking down the street that evening, he noticed that nearly everyone passing by had fluctuations of Inner Strength. It was clear that the Martial Path had truly spread far and wide. Of course, the Sects and noble families were insular and would never teach their profound secrets to outsiders.

As he was passing an alleyway, Wu Tian suddenly stopped. His Spiritual Sense had located the Arrow King, once one of the Seven Saints of Dragon Country, in the deserted alley. He was now covered in blood, struggling to press on. But he had lost too much blood and strength, and his pace was agonizingly slow. The next moment, his pursuers caught up to him.

"Arrow King, oh Arrow King, I really don’t get you," one of the pursuers mocked with a laugh. "Was it so hard to just say that Lord Sword Demon is the greatest in the world? Because you wouldn’t, you took a sword strike from him and ended up in this pathetic state!"

"I... I have never told a lie in my life," the Arrow King retorted. "The Sword Demon, the greatest in the world? In my eyes, there has always been someone stronger than him. That’s why I refused to say it. I just never expected the Sword Demon to be so narrow-minded..."
