Chapter 491: Chapter 165: Killing Gu Qingfeng with a Palm Strike, Obtaining the Secret Treasure (Please Subscribe)_2
After hearing this, Ah Zhu said, “Yes.”
Doctor Bai didn’t say anything but silently retreated and began to help treat the injured, knowing that Jiu Si would seek justice for those who had died.
Chen Jie looked at Gu Qingfeng and said, “Gu Qingfeng, you should die!”
At that moment, Gu Qingfeng also regained his composure, with his right hand surreptitiously clutching a dagger, he followed by saying to Chen Jie, “Chen Jiusi, I believe there has been a misunderstanding today. I too am acting under orders. Let’s not damage our relations; let me go.”
“Go? You still think you can leave?”
Chen Jie squinted his eyes at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng said, “What’s it gonna be, Chen Jiusi? You really want to fight to the death with me?”
“Fight to the death, heh heh… a fine fight to the death, you say? You’re not even worthy!”
Chen Jie slowly raised his hand, and his whole body’s aura began to concentrate, his Inner Strength gathering in his palm, Gang Qi rising up.
Seeing Chen Jie , Gu Qingfeng said in alarm, “Chen Jiusi, let’s be reasonable. I hold no grudge against you, nor have I ever thought of harming you. I came here because I was beguiled by Nan Batian. Moreover, I didn’t kill your master, just a few unimportant guards. Do you really need to fight to the death with me?”
“Heh heh heh, unimportant guards?”
Chen Jie’s eyes reddened with anger as he shouted, “They were my sworn brothers!”
“Gu Qingfeng, you deserve to die!”
Saying this, Chen Jie raised his hand, and suddenly a dragon’s roar sounded, Stone Breaking Hand Eighth Form—Dragon Capturing Palm!
Chen Jie directly struck a fierce palm towards Gu Qingfeng.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng’s brows furrowed in anger, he exclaimed, “You madman, so what if a few guards died? You really think I’m afraid of you!”
With those words, Gu Qingfeng swung his hand, the dagger in his hand thrusting towards Chen Jie.
With a slap, the two clashed palms, swiftly passing by each other. Dıscover more novels at NovєlFіre.net
Gu Qingfeng only felt a powerful strike to his chest, a sharp pain followed by internal injury, and blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Such a powerful Hand Technique!
On the other hand, Chen Jie now looked at his own right arm, noticing a gash, he had to admit that Gu Qingfeng lived up to the name Ghost Hand, his attacks were indeed tricky, and Chen Jie had failed to dodge his strike.
At this moment, his right arm was wounded, blood staining his clothes, but Chen Jie seemed not to care at all.
Because this pain could not cover the pain in his heart.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng pressed on his chest, quickly pressed two acupoints for healing, and stealthily swallowed an Elixir.
It was a Tai Sui Pill.
One must say, the old Energy Transformation Masters always have some trump cards in hand.
With the Tai Sui Pill in his system, Gu Qingfeng’s injuries were stabilized, he then steadied his breathing, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Chen Jie and said, “Chen Jiusi.”
“Let’s talk, fighting each other will only lead to mutual destruction. Let’s sit and negotiate.”
“You state your terms, I admit defeat today!”
“Terms? You want me to state terms?”
“Otherwise? Everything has a condition that can be discussed, so tell me, how can we put today’s matter to rest? How about for each guard, I give you one thousand taels of silver, would that settle it?”
“Ha ha ha… One thousand taels!”
“Two thousand taels, no? Three thousand taels, you name the price. How much do you want for a settlement, or if you have any conditions, just state them.”
“I don’t want both of us to be injured, you name your terms.”
Gu Qingfeng looked at Chen Jie, believing that everything had a price and could be negotiated.
He had never considered the death of a few guards a big deal either. Was Chen Jiusi really ready to fight to the death over some guards with an Energy Transformation Master like himself?
Yes, he might not be able to kill Chen Jiusi, but if Chen Jiusi tried to kill him, it would come at a terrible price, one that might be too much to bear.
So for a few insignificant guards, was Chen Jiusi really willing to fight to the death with him?
Guards are meant to die for their masters, aren’t they?
Gu Qingfeng looked at Chen Jie, thinking that as long as he showed enough sincerity and made a sacrifice, he could definitely get a chance to negotiate peace with Chen Jiusi.
How much could these guards be worth? Twenty thousand taels? Thirty thousand taels? Fifty thousand taels?
He even had Tai Sui Pills he could offer Chen Jiusi to come to an agreement.
He thought it over, and there was no reason for Chen Jiusi to refuse.
As far as the so-called brotherhood Chen Jiusi kept mentioning, in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes, it was nothing but a bargaining chip to raise the price.
There couldn’t really be someone who considered a bunch of mud-leg peasants to be their brothers, could there?
That was entirely against Gu Qingfeng’s values. He wouldn’t sincerely say to his subordinates, “You are all like brothers to me.”
He simply saw them as tools, and such words were just enchanting talk to make the subordinates work harder.
So he understood the hearts of those in power all too well. The whole “we’re all good brothers” was just a facade. No one really treated anyone else as a brother.
So he was absolutely confident that Chen Jiusi would accept his terms.
Chen Jiusi, raising the brotherhood excuse in front of me, are you just trying to up the price?
With this in mind, he once again said, “Chen Jiusi, a lump sum of fifty thousand taels, plus two Tai Sui Pills, can we settle today’s matter?”
At these words, not far away, Chen Zhu looked over sharply, Bai Wenjing also glanced over, and even Chen Gou cocked his ear to hear Chen Jie’s words.
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes at Gu Qingfeng.
To be honest, the offer was indeed high, and Gu Qingfeng was correct, the so-called brotherhood expressed by those in power always came with a price.
Because a qualified person in power should only have interests at heart, not be swayed by emotions.
