"Bold!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tianhao's face flashed with anger.
"The three great families of ancient martial arts were designated by my grandfather. How dare a nobody like him speak such nonsense!"
Then, he looked at the two men and said, "This matter is trivial. There's no need to trouble my grandfather to come out of seclusion. I'll coordinate it myself!"
The two did not answer immediately, but hesitated.
The subordinate who had spoken earlier saw their hesitation and said indignantly, "Why aren't you two thanking young master for his generosity? What are you standing there for?"
One of them stepped forward, somewhat timidly, and said, "Young Master Gu, this Bai Zihe is unbelievably arrogant. He might..."
He didn't finish.
But the implication was clear to everyone.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianhao let out a scoff, his face full of disdain, "Arrogant, how arrogant can he be?"
"In front of me..."
"Even if he's a dragon, he'll have to coil up for me!"
"Even if he's a tiger, he'll have to lie down for me!"
Gu Tianhao's words were extremely arrogant.
This was understandable.
He was the grandson of the president of the Ancient Martial Arts Association. Everywhere he went, he was the center of the world, adored by everyone.
If he could restrain his arrogance a little, it would be a great favor to others.
Who would dare to be arrogant in front of him? Wouldn't that be seeking death?
The two men's lingering doubts were dispelled.
That's right.
No matter how arrogant Bai Zihe was, he would probably be scared out of his wits after learning of Gu Tianhao's identity.
The two even felt a bit expectant.
"Then we thank young master Gu for his efforts in coordination!"
"Young Master Gu, please!"
The two led Gu Tianhao, and Gu Tianhao, with a large group of followers, grandly arrived at Ji Xueyun's Ares Camp.
And at this time.
Bai Zihe also came out with Ji Xueyun and Long Qinglian.
He originally thought he could handle it alone.
But he couldn't refuse the two women, so it had to be this way.
"You, are you Bai Zihe?"
At the entrance, Gu Tianhao stood there with a relaxed expression. Seeing Bai Zihe, he asked carelessly.
Bai Zihe glanced at him, his expression blank.
Then.
His calm gaze fell on the two Xu family experts behind him, and he said with disdain, "Are these the reinforcements you've brought?"
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
His dismissive attitude immediately made Gu Tianhao's followers furious.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly."
"Standing in front of you..."
*Slap!*
Bai Zihe slapped the subordinate directly, sending him flying and crashing to the ground, unconscious.
"Audacious!"
This time, Gu Tianhao was also enraged.
But amidst his anger, there was a hint of a cold smile on his face.
He really wanted to know if Bai Zihe would still dare to be so arrogant after knowing his identity.
"I am the grandson of Gu Chengkong, the president of the Ancient Martial Arts Association. I've come to mediate your conflict, and I've already given you immense face. Don't be ungrateful!"
Bai Zihe found this amusing.
He looked at Gu Tianhao with a half-smile and asked, "Mediate? What do you want to mediate?"
Gu Tianhao stood up and smiled proudly.
"Bai Zihe, I've heard about your conflict with the Xu and Zhou families."
"I'm here now to order you to quickly go back and stop troubling the two families."
"Otherwise... I'll make you pay."
Such a threat...
It made Bai Zihe laugh out loud, mockingly, "What circus clown escaped to bark here?"
"You!"
Gu Tianhao was immediately furious.
From childhood, no one even dared to disobey him in the slightest.
Let alone speak sarcastically and humiliate him to his face!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he moved directly in front of Bai Zihe, swinging a slap at his face.
Bai Zihe did not dodge or duck, and swung back a slap of his own.
It arrived first!
*Slap!*
A crisp sound echoed, startling everyone.
Although Bai Zihe didn't use much strength, he still made Gu Tianhao's mouth crooked, and he couldn't straighten it for a long time.
A thin trickle of blood also slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Now, things had gotten serious.
Everyone swallowed, their gaze shifting constantly as they looked at Gu Tianhao.
"You... you dare to hit me!"
Gu Tianhao finally came to his senses, his eyes bulging, filled with fierce light, wishing he could devour Bai Zihe alive. "Bai Zihe, you're dead. No one can save you!"
"My grandfather was already a Grandmaster ten years ago!"
"Killing you..."
"Is as easy as crushing an ant!"
"Not only that."
"I will dig up your ancestral graves, kill your family, and toy with your women!"
"Otherwise, I won't be able to quell my hatred!"
His ferocious expression and furious voice sent shivers down people's spines.
And the way everyone looked at Bai Zihe was no different than looking at a corpse.
"What you said..."
Bai Zihe smiled faintly, but with an endless chilling intent. "I don't like hearing it."
"So..."
Bai Zihe flashed forward and grabbed his tongue. "If you can't speak nicely, then this tongue is useless!"
With that, he gave a hard tug.
"Ahhhh—"
A miserable howl echoed throughout the Ares Camp.
Bai Zihe had actually ripped out Gu Tianhao's tongue. It was blood-red, dripping with gore, utterly terrifying.
For a moment.
Everyone was silenced in fear.
This Bai Zihe...
His strength was terrifying, and his methods were frighteningly brutal.
Even those who were accustomed to ruthless killers dared not make any rash moves at this moment.
Only Gu Tianhao, filled with venom, went back to find his grandfather.
Bai Zihe looked at the Xu family experts with a blank expression.
"It's time to go."
The Xu family experts were extremely indignant.
Damn it...
They thought they were going to show off their power, but instead, they ended up delivering themselves as a sacrifice!
And they still had to take him back to the Xu family...
Utterly ashamed.
A great humiliation!
But facing Bai Zihe's might, they could only comply.
A group of people marched towards the Xu family.
He could only pray.
That Gu Tianhao could hurry and bring out Old Master Gu.
The Ancient Martial Arts Association.
Gu Chengkong was furious upon seeing his grandson's惨状 (miserable state).
*Boom!*
He struck out with a palm, directly collapsing a nearby pavilion.
Instantly, countless bricks, tiles, and beams rained down, kicking up dust and flying debris. It wasn't until several minutes later that things slowly calmed down.
"Bai Zihe, you're going too far!"
"How dare you touch my grandson..."
His eyes were like the scorching sun in the sky, but they emitted not warm sunlight, but ferocious, violent beams of light!
"I will make sure his descendants suffer for eighteen generations!"
"I will invert heaven and earth, disrupt yin and yang, and bring his eighteen generations of ancestors up from the ground and send those on the ground down to the underworld!"
Immediately, he looked at an elder beside him. "Sixth Brother, go and deliver a challenge to him. I want him to know that his death is imminent, yet be powerless to do anything!"
The Sixth Elder immediately went to do as instructed.
At this time.
Bai Zihe, led by the Xu family experts, was heading to the Xu family to retrieve the key.
Halfway there.
The Sixth Elder, with his men, blocked Bai Zihe.
He coldly handed the challenge to Bai Zihe. "Bai Zihe, this is a challenge from the president. Take it!"
Bai Zihe glanced at it and said faintly, "I accept the challenge."
"However..."
"You're blocking my way!"
The Sixth Elder was stunned and instinctively asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"To the Xu family."
Bai Zihe said calmly, "To get what is mine."
"You!"
The Sixth Elder was immediately full of astonishment, looking at Bai Zihe. "You've already accepted the challenge, why are you still going for the key?"
"Isn't it that you have to fight first before you can get the key?"
Bai Zihe heard this and burst into laughter.
Then, he looked at the Sixth Elder and said with undeniable authority, "I've accepted the challenge, and I'm taking the key too!"
"Get out of the way."
With that, he continued forward.
The Sixth Elder was immediately enraged, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He shouted, "Bai Zihe is too arrogant! Come with me, let's teach him a lesson!"
