Chapter 445: Chapter 0446: Eyes Blood Red

Ah Zhao choked on his words, angrily swinging the stick in his hand, "Want to know who it is? Then go to the hospital and see for yourself!"

Of course, when he spoke of going to the hospital, he didn’t mean for Chu Ge to visit as a guest, but rather for Chu Ge to lie down and enter the hospital as a patient.

Chu Ge watched them with an indifferent expression, hands slightly behind his back, as if he didn’t take these people seriously at all.

Ah Zhao and the others observed Chu Ge’s rosy complexion; even the phrase "radiant with health" wouldn’t be an exaggeration. He didn’t look poisoned at all.

One of the underlings stepped forward with some confusion and asked in a hushed voice, "Big brother, could it be that Lin is fooling us? Look at Chu Ge; there isn’t the slightest sign of poisoning, is there?"

Ah Zhao also looked at Chu Ge with suspicion, scrutinizing him carefully. Indeed, he saw no signs of poisoning on Chu Ge’s person.

Damn it! Should have beaten Lin to a pulp just now for daring to deceive him!

"Big brother, what do you think we should do now?"

"What do you mean what should we do? So what if he’s not poisoned? We have the advantage in numbers; do you think we would be afraid of him?"

The little brother nodded repeatedly in agreement, thinking of Ah Zhao as an Ancient Martial Artist, especially since his presence had helped them secure a foothold in Su City. His admiration for Ah Zhao was boundless, and he naturally followed Ah Zhao’s words without daring to disobey.

Chu Ge’s face remained indifferent, but Huo Tianqian beside him was getting a bit angry. He had seen some of these faces before; they were all underlings of Bald, it seemed they were here to seek revenge for Bald.

"Mr. Chu, these people are all Bald’s men. You don’t have to worry about them, leave it to me."

Huo Tianqian declared confidently.

Chu Ge nodded lightly, then reminded him, "The one in the middle, he’s at the Middle-stage Innate level, and his strength is not much different from someone at Postnatal Perfection. Be careful."

Huo Tianqian nodded and then stepped forward. Hands on his hips, he glared at them coldly, "What is it, wasn’t Bald’s lesson enough? Do you want to end up in the hospital lying down just like him?"

Someone recognized Huo Tianqian and their heart sank. Bald had always wanted to curry favor with Huo Tianqian; now Huo Tianqian stood alongside Chu Ge. They came looking for trouble with Chu Ge, only to have Huo Tianqian standing up for him. If they really got into a conflict with Huo Tianqian and the boss found out, they would surely be in deep trouble!

"Big brother, that’s Master Huo." The person who knew Huo Tianqian’s identity quickly walked up to Ah Zhao and whispered a reminder.

While Ah Zhao had never seen Huo Tianqian, the name he heard most from Bald’s mouth was Huo Tianqian. Why was this guy with Chu Ge?

"It doesn’t matter who he is, as long as he stands with Chu Ge, he’s our enemy!"

"But... but he’s the one the boss has always wanted to win over, right? What if we offend Master Huo, and when the boss wakes up, he blames us, what then?"

Ah Zhao glared at him irritably, "Where does all this nonsense come from? Do you think he won’t deal with us if we don’t deal with him?"

Now that Huo Tianqian was standing on Chu Ge’s side and had already come out to confront them, did they still expect him to spare them for old times’ sake?

Besides, there weren’t any old times between them! Anyone who sided with Chu Ge was his enemy!

Huo Tianqian picked at his ear, looking at them as they jabbered on and on, none daring to make a move. Impatient, he said, "I’ve had enough of your chatter. Aren’t you here to find Mr. Chu? First, you have to get past me!"

He hadn’t flexed his muscles in quite some time now, and ever since Chu Ge helped him reshape his musculoskeletal framework, granting him a rebirth, his body underwent many subtle changes. He desperately wanted a fierce battle; he wished to understand just how strong his current strength truly was.

Although Postnatal Ancient Martial Artists were inherently inferior to Innate ones in terms of talent, there was still comparability when it came to cultivation and strength.

Take Huo Tianqian for instance, who had achieved the Postnatal Perfection. Although it was defined as Perfection, his strength had long since surpassed that level, only restraining him from breaking through was his Postnatal status.

The strength of Postnatal Perfection was equivalent to that of Middle-stage Innate.

Among the people present, only one was at Middle-stage Innate, making it an excellent opportunity for Huo Tianqian to practice his skills.

Ah Zhao had actually been displeased with Huo Tianqian for quite some time. Despite never having met him in person, he had heard about Huo Tianqian so many times from the Bald Man that he felt the latter had long lost the dignity a leader should possess.

Why should they grovel to someone from faraway Shanghai, while wreaking havoc in Su City?

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local tyrant. When Huo Tianqian came to Su City, didn’t he still have to rely on them?

Ah Zhao was proud and arrogant too; over the years, he had been so highly regarded by his subordinates that he had become somewhat complacent, completely forgetting that there’s always someone better.

Therefore, when he engaged Huo Tianqian, he was defeated and fell off the stage within just three moves.

Ah Zhao felt a profound sense of humiliation in his heart, staring at Huo Tianqian indignantly, "Let’s go again!"

Huo Tianqian was also somewhat astonished, as he looked at his palm. Just now, he had merely met Ah Zhao’s offensive and casually pushed him, not expecting to rebound all the moves Ah Zhao used against him.

Could this be the power of Perfection?

Huo Tianqian was brimming with excitement. Lost in his thoughts, a figure suddenly flitted before his eyes. Huo Tianqian hastily dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Ah Zhao’s sudden attack.

Seeing his charge miss again, Ah Zhao’s resentment swelled even further. With a low roar, he swung his tightly clenched fist towards Huo Tianqian once more.

This time, Huo Tianqian met the attack head-on. He precisely grabbed Ah Zhao’s arm, and in the next instant, a series of bone-cracking sounds pierced the air, followed by agonizing screams.

Huo Tianqian flung Ah Zhao away harshly, his words filled with disdain and provocation, "Alright, it’s too troublesome for you to come at me one by one. Just all come at once."

Huo Tianqian’s statement was purely a show of bravado. He knew that among those present, only Ah Zhao was an Ancient Martial Artist, the others were mere mortals. Now, with the only Ancient Martial Artist taken down, the rest posed no threat.

Hearing Huo Tianqian’s words, the others were too cautious to approach, with some even trembling in fear.

Even Ah Zhao was no match for him; could they really stand a chance if they all attacked together?

"Are all of Old Baldy’s underlings such trash? So cowardly that you don’t dare to face one man even ten-on-one?"

Huo Tianqian continued to taunt.

Writhing in pain and unable to rise, Ah Zhao listened to Huo Tianqian’s taunts, hating himself for neglecting his martial arts practice over this period. His eyes bloodshot with rage, he glared at Huo Tianqian furiously.

If looks could kill, Huo Tianqian would have died hundreds of times over!
