Chapter 145

“Xu family? I don’t recall any Xu family. If you don’t want to die, it’s not too late to leave now!”

The reason the people from the Xu family in the provincial city were able to find Chu Tianhe so quickly and accurately was because Lan Shihao had given them the information.

At that moment, Lan Shihao was hiding not far away, secretly watching everything that was about to unfold.

He hadn’t fully uncovered Chu Tianhe’s identity, which was why he had informed the Xu family to come; he wanted to see just how formidable Chu Tianhe really was.

However, someone like Xu Haokun was nothing more than an insignificant insect in Chu Tianhe’s world. Even if Chu Tianhe had killed Xu Haokun, he wouldn’t even remember his name.

Thus, these people appearing before him were utterly baffling to Chu Tianhe.

“Chu Tianhe, you’re quite arrogant!”

“Today, whether you leave or not, you have to go...”

“Bang!”

Before the man could finish his words, Chu Tianhe’s patience snapped, and he delivered a direct kick to the man’s chest.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

In an instant, the man’s chest caved inward. Like a cannonball, he was sent flying backward, crashing into several ancient martial arts experts behind him. Then his body slid dozens of meters across the ground until his back slammed hard against a wall, finally coming to a stop.

“Pfft...”

The man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Chu Tianhe. Unable to suppress the violent surge of blood in his chest, he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

“You...”

He raised his hand, pointing at Chu Tianhe with furious eyes, but his injuries were too severe for him to speak.

“Yaoyao, are you scared?”

After kicking the man away, Chu Tianhe suddenly realized he hadn’t considered Yaoyao’s feelings. He quickly turned around and asked, afraid his daughter might be frightened.

“I’m not scared!”

Yaoyao blinked her big eyes, shook her head, and said, “Daddy is fighting bad guys. Yaoyao isn’t afraid!”

Seeing her expression, Chu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had only used about ten percent of his strength on that kick and hadn’t unleashed his martial energy. Otherwise, the man wouldn’t have been sent flying so simply.

“Let’s go home and see what Auntie made for you.”

Chu Tianhe paid no mind to the shouts of the Xu family’s henchmen. Holding Yaoyao, he continued walking forward. After several hundred meters, he slightly lifted his right foot and suddenly stomped the ground, sending a spray of gravel flying. At the same time, ancient martial energy gathered instantly in his foot, and with his heel, he delivered a fierce kick.

“Whoosh!”

The piece of gravel flew like a spinning bullet, striking the man squarely between the eyebrows with a muffled thud. A thumb-sized hole appeared in the man’s forehead, and he died instantly.

“From the Xu family of the provincial city, huh?”

“Go back and tell your master that Chu Tianhe will pay him a visit someday!”

With a simple move, Chu Tianhe had killed the Xu family’s strongest warrior on the spot. To prevent Yaoyao from witnessing the gruesome scene, he deliberately kept a hundred meters’ distance and turned his back to the man.

Even so, the killing was swift and decisive, without any hesitation.

After finishing everything, Chu Tianhe slightly lifted his head. His gaze, sharp as a sword, swept toward a window in the upper left corner of a nearby tall building.

“Hiss!!”

In that instant, Lan Shihao gasped sharply and quickly ducked away from the window, narrowly avoiding Chu Tianhe’s gaze.

“How sharp!”

Lan Shihao’s heart pounded wildly. He hadn’t expected Chu Tianhe’s strength to be so formidable—just one encounter, and he effortlessly killed the Xu family’s martial arts henchmen. On top of that, he was keenly aware that someone was watching from the shadows.

This level of power left Lan Shihao trembling with fear.
