Chapter 318: Chapter 0318 Release the Person

Nangong Yunhai looked at Chu Ge with a mix of fear, gratitude, and relief.

Thankful that he hadn’t truly burnt bridges with Chu Ge before, grateful that Chu Ge didn’t hold his past rashness against him.

"What’s going on!" Tang Batian also became alert.

"Captain, it’s him! It’s him!" The man lying on the ground glared at Chu Ge, although he hadn’t seen clearly how Chu Ge had dislocated his arm, but he did see that it was Chu Ge who made the move.

Following this man’s statement, other disciples of the Tang Sect in attendance surrounded Chu Ge along the riverbank.

Tang Batian slightly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the young man, "What’s your name?"

Chu Ge curled his lips into a smile, "Chu Ge."

"You’re not from around here, are you?"

Chu Ge nodded, "I am the assistant brought by Huo Tianqian."

Tang Batian was first stunned, then his gaze towards Chu Ge turned mocking. Could this guy be an idiot? Ensnared in his own predicament, yet still declaring his affiliation, wasn’t that just blatantly telling others his location, asking them to come and take his life?

But that was also good, it saved him the effort of having to search.

"So, you are the assistant that Huo Tianqian brought." Tang Batian said dismissively, "You don’t think that just because you can twist someone’s wrist, you will be our match, do you? Kid, I will let you witness today what a true powerhouse is!"

Chu Ge stood there calmly, willing, and ready to make a move. It was not that he wanted to help the Shen Family deal with the Tang Sect, but that these people not only robbed him of his belongings and injured his people; now, they were even trying to snatch the First-level Earth Ganoderma he needed for his breakthrough to the Innate Grandmaster Realm. He absolutely could not tolerate this!

The first time, he thought that with Fatty’s strength, he would be able to see clearly who made the move. However, Fatty didn’t, so this time, he deliberately slowed down his speed. The purpose was to let the person on the ground see clearly who was making the move.

Tang Batian was already at the Late Innate Stage. He didn’t put Chu Ge in his eyes at all, so when he gathered his energy, he only used seventy percent of it, then swung his fist attacking towards Chu Ge.

Chu Ge stood still, his hands behind his back, and suddenly, the powerful True Qi hidden within his body was released. Instantly, this True Qi formed into a fist-sized sphere, with a terrifying force, it met Tang Batian’s punch head-on.

Everyone present distinctly felt the villa shake three times, and then Tang Batian was struck back, staggering a step by the fist-sized True Qi.

Tang Batian looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, "How is this possible!"

He had clearly felt the terrifying power emanating from Chu Ge, an aura of strength only possessed by an Innate Grandmaster.

But... but this person looked to be only in his twenties. How could someone so young be on the verge of a breakthrough to the Innate Grandmaster Realm?

He knew what it took to reach the Late Innate Stage; not to mention nearly fifteen years of effort, but also relying on the power of some external medications to achieve it!

"I didn’t expect you to have reached the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age," Tang Batian now only felt he had underestimated his opponent.

Chu Ge sneered, "You’re wrong, I have not reached the Innate Grandmaster."

He was speaking the truth; he indeed hadn’t reached the Innate Grandmaster Realm, separated from it by a distance as thin as an A4 sheet of paper.

Tang Batian was even more startled, "Impossible! That power just now, it’s obviously only possessed by an Innate Grandmaster!"

"You’re right," then Huo Tianqian spoke up with a light snort, "Although Mr. Chu has not reached the Innate Grandmaster, he possesses the strength of a Grandmaster. Tang Batian, today is your day of reckoning!"

Tang Batian no longer had the arrogance he exhibited just moments ago. His pupils dilated as he stared at Chu Ge, disbelief filling the depths of his eyes.

At such a young age, he already possessed the strength of an Innate Grandmaster. If he were to break through the Innate Grandmaster, wouldn’t that mean he could reach the Divinity Realm?

Respect must be paid to those who have achieved Divine Communication.

Those who show great disrespect must be killed.

Tang Batian felt a sense of relief, thankful that Chu Ge hadn’t reached the stage of Divine Communication; otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died!

Tang Batian pressed his hands together in a salute, his tone carrying a hint of respect as he said to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, I failed to recognize your greatness and have offended you. Please be magnanimous."

Shen Congwen, who was suppressed on the other side, didn’t react for a moment to Tang Batian suddenly treating Mr. Chu so respectfully.

It was no wonder, in the eyes of these ordinary people, the showdown between Tang Batian and Chu Ge was indiscernible.

What Shen Congwen saw was just a punch thrown at Chu Ge, yet his fist not only failed to connect with Chu Ge, it was instead violently thrust back by something.

Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that a scene that only appears in TV dramas could happen in reality.

Could this be the conflict between Ancient Martial Artists?

Just now he heard them speaking of the Innate Grandmaster, and although he didn’t quite understand, he had already realized that this Mr. Chu was also an Ancient Martial Artist.

No wonder Young Master Nangong showed him such respect.

No wonder he required Earth Ganoderma, and now, his desire to cling to Chu Ge, this towering tree, grew even stronger.

If he could really get out of here alive, he must repay Mr. Chu properly!

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat puzzled by Tang Batian’s words.

Tang Batian explained, "Mr. Chu, you can take your friends and leave the mountain; however, Shen Congwen cannot go. This is a grudge between the Tang Sect and the Shen Family."

Upon hearing this, Shen Congwen felt a chill in his heart. He wasn’t too familiar with Chu Ge and wasn’t sure if Chu Ge would save him.

If Chu Ge chose not to save him...

Shen Congwen dared not think further.

Just like Shen Congwen, Nangong Yunhai was also feeling uneasy. Just moments before, his heart was like a roller coaster ride until he overheard Tang Batian saying that you and your friends could leave.

He used the honorific ’you’, which meant that they could leave this place alive.

Huo Tianqian felt a sense of injustice; he didn’t want the matter to end like this, but he couldn’t influence Chu Ge’s thoughts. He had no choice but to suppress the hatred he felt towards Tang Batian for the time being.

Chu Ge looked at Tang Batian, who was someone with a sense of the situation. Unfortunately, he had touched Chu Ge’s sore spot.

"Captain Tang, I think there is one thing you don’t understand. I came here with Mr. Shen precisely for the Earth Ganoderma."

Strolling over, Chu Ge slowly sat down in front of a sofa, his long legs crossed. He lifted his cool gaze to Shen Congwen with a light chuckle, and then said, "So, not only can I not leave, you must also release Shen Congwen."

With a single sentence, various emotions instantly surged among the people present.
