Chapter 250: Chapter 0250: The Way of the Martial Artist (Twelfth Update)

"Is this... the power of a Martial Artist?" Xiahou Wudao’s eyes, however, showed no fear; instead, he looked at Chu Ge excitedly and muttered, "Although the power you demonstrated in the video is much more terrifying than this, reality and video are ultimately two different things. So, there really are beings in this world that transcend mortals!"

Chu Ge’s expression became somewhat strange; this was the first time he had encountered someone like Xiahou Wudao.

From his current behavior, he seemed to be some sort of fanatic, willing to abandon even his own life for what he pursued!

"So what?" Chu Ge didn’t bother with that anymore and looked at Xiahou Wudao with a cold laugh: "You’re willing to pay with your life just to witness my power?"

"Pay with my life? Why would I need to pay with my life?" Xiahou Wudao laughed, looking at Chu Ge and said, "It’s true you’re a Martial Artist and your power is indeed heart-shaking, but no matter how strong your power is, can you really oppose an entire nation? This is Shanghai, not the Public Sea. Killing someone in the street holds consequences!"

Indeed, even the Four Great Families would not dare be so brazen as to kill someone in the streets of Shanghai.

However, facing Xiahou Wudao’s threat, Chu Ge laughed instead: "It seems you still have some misconceptions about my power. You should know about Chen Jun, right?"

"Chen Jun—" Xiahou Wudao seemed to recall something, his facial expression imperceptibly shifted: "So it was you who turned Chen Jun into a vegetative state!"

"Therefore, I don’t want to hear any nonsense anymore," Chu Ge looked at him and said coldly, "Otherwise, I don’t recommend using the same methods on you that I used on Chen Jun!"

Finally, Xiahou Wudao’s complexion completely changed.

And Chu Ge’s hand gripping his neck, began to slowly tighten...

"Do you really want the Jade Pendant?" Just as Chu Ge was about to completely tighten his grip and lift him up, Xiahou Wudao finally spoke.

"That Jade Pendant given to you by Huo Tianqian must be very important to you, right?" Xiahou Wudao looked at Chu Ge, supporting the gap at his neck with both hands and gritted his teeth, "If I’m wrong, then it’s my bad luck. Just go ahead and do it!"

Jade Pendant...

Chu Ge was suddenly startled.

Other matters he could disregard, but the matter regarding the Jade Pendant was crucial. If it got out and those hidden Sects knew about it, it would be terrible!

As Jian Chunqiu mentioned, the Cultivation Technique within the Jade Pendant never manifested its power when in the old man’s hands. If those major Sects knew that such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique was hidden inside the Jade Pendant, they would definitely act to seize it.

If it were only him, it wouldn’t matter so much, but now with Mu Bingtong involved as well, he couldn’t guarantee the character of those Ancient Martial Sect people. If any accident occurred, it would indeed be regrettable!

With this thought, not only did Chu Ge have no intention of letting Xiahou Wudao off, but his eyes even emitted killing intent.

Even though he knew of the Jade Pendant, it might still be safer to deal with him directly!

To be honest, Xiahou Wudao was also somewhat panicked by now; he had guessed that the Jade Pendant was extremely important to Chu Ge, but hadn’t expected it to be to such an extent. As a descendant of the Xiahou Family, Xiahou Wudao was certainly no fool like Xiahou Renjie; he could tell from the subtle changes in Chu Ge’s expression that this man had murderous intentions towards him!

"I know the whereabouts of two Jade Pendants; although I can’t confirm if they are the ones you are looking for, but we can definitely give it a try; after all, you wouldn’t lose anything by doing so!"

Finally, just when the murderous intent in Chu Ge’s eyes reached its peak, Xiahou Wudao hurriedly said: "And you can be assured, I really do not know what the Jade Pendant means to you. I only know that both you and the Vajra Sect members who came to Shanghai are searching for it, so it must be especially important to you!"

Finally, after a tense silence that lasted for several seconds, Chu Ge’s hand slowly loosened, and Xiahou Wudao also heaved a great sigh of relief.

Honestly, the feeling of being completely enveloped by death just then was truly terrifying!

It was only at this moment that Xiahou Wudao suddenly realized that his clothes had been soaked in cold sweat at some point.

"The news about the Jade Pendant?" Watching Xiahou Wudao gradually catch his breath, Chu Ge finally spoke, asking indifferently.

Xiahou Wudao took a look around; the estate was in a business district with a prime location, which meant there would be many people passing by. The action between the two had already drawn the attention of countless onlookers, some of whom had already taken out their phones, ready to call the police.

"Come inside." Chu Ge opened the estate gate.

It must be said, the old masters really spared no expense; the interior of the estate was adorned with extremely exquisite decorations, and even in the study, there was a specially made purple clay teapot placed.

Chu Ge poured some cold water into it, his fingers lightly touching the purple clay pot, and in just a few seconds, plumes of steam began to billow from the teapot’s spout.

This sight once again left Xiahou Wudao in awe for a long while.

Holding the teacup handed to him by Chu Ge, Xiahou Wudao suddenly laughed and said: "Hehe, to have Mr. Chu personally brew tea, I presume even the old masters haven’t had this privilege, right?"

"It depends on the situation. This cup could be fragrant tea or it could be deadly tea!" Chu Ge’s words were certainly not polite.

However, to these words, Xiahou Wudao didn’t mind at all; he took a sip of the hot tea, immensely enjoying it as he squinted his eyes, and after a while, he laughed: "You know, you are quite an interesting person. The old masters treat you with the utmost respect, fearing that the slightest mistake might anger you. Really, there’s no need for that."

With that, Xiahou Wudao shook his head and chuckled, continuing, "Essentially, you are quite a lazy person. As long as your matters are handled well and no one offends your taboos, there’s really no need to worry too much."

These words, coming from Xiahou Wudao, indeed slightly surprised Chu Ge; he looked at Xiahou Wudao and nodded, replying, "Exactly right, you understand me well."

"Right." Xiahou Wudao laughed, "As they say, often it’s not your friends who understand you the best, but your enemies. I might not quite qualify as your enemy yet, but as a rival in love, perhaps I do."

"A rival in love?"

"That’s right." Xiahou Wudao had a fearless character, nodding directly: "I had thought about pursuing Mu Bingtong before, but now, that thought has completely vanished, so you don’t need to guard against me in this respect."
