Chapter 807: Chapter 807

This private room cost Lin Chen a million for one night, but buying temporary safety was well worth it.

Placing Li Yuqing on the bed, Lin Chen quickly found a wriggling worm on her neck, the very thing that caused Li Yuqing to frantically attack him.

Lin Chen's wounds had mostly healed thanks to the Light of Life.

At this moment, Li Yuqing's face showed pain; clearly, although she had fainted, the worm was still tormenting her.

Lin Chen slowly moved his hand towards Li Yuqing's neck, a surge of Purple Flame Spiritual Energy filled his palm. Driven by this spiritual energy, the worm was forced to scurry around, finally being pushed to her arm.

Lin Chen pulled out a dagger, made a small cut on Li Yuqing's arm and suddenly channeled his Spiritual Energy, forcing the worm to crawl out of the wound.

Just as it tried to escape, Lin Chen burned it to ashes with fire.

With the worm destroyed, Li Yuqing's complexion returned to normal.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, "Zhang Shoushan, this bastard, to actually use such despicable methods against one's own!"

At this moment, the phone in the room suddenly rang. Lin Chen picked it up, and heard nothing but miserable screams coming through.

Soon after, Zhang Shoushan's cold voice came through.

"Boy, you escaped quickly, but your buddy has been caught by me. If you don't want him to die, come immediately to the Zhang household to die. Otherwise, it's uncertain if he can last till dawn!" The phone then disconnected.

"Damn it!" Lin Chen had just realized that Zhou Wu was the key person who saved him at the crucial moment. But despite his skills, Lin Chen thought he could have escaped, yet he had been caught by Zhang Shoushan.

Because Zhou Wu had experienced great danger for him, although Lin Chen knew it was fraught with crisis, even if it was a dragon's den he had to venture forth.

Lin Chen left a note for Li Yuqing and called Anna, asking her to send someone immediately to Peace Hotel to protect Li Yuqing.

Having arranged everything, Lin Chen left the Peace Hotel and drove directly to the Zhang mansion.

At this time, the Zhang mansion was heavily guarded, with menacing black-clad figures everywhere.

Lin Chen, driving a Lamborghini, smashed directly through the main gates and rushed in.

Suddenly, the entire Zhang household boiled in chaos, Lin Chen rampaged through like a ferocious god.

Every step he took, several black-clad men fell to Lin Chen's strikes, and in a short distance of a few hundred meters, the roadside was already filled with the Zhang family's groaning security.

Lin Chen charged straight to the Zhang family's reception hall, only to see Zhang Shoushan sitting on the main seat, an old woman by his side, and a bloodied person laying on the floor—it was undoubtedly Zhou Wu.

At this time, Zhou Wu looked extremely miserable; tendons in his hands and feet severed, and his body covered in brutal whip marks—obviously, Zhou Wu must have been tortured to death repeatedly during this period.

Seeing Lin Chen storm in, a shocked expression spread across Zhang Shoushan's face.

Just before, he had personally seen Lin Chen stabbed three times by Li Yuqing, but from Lin Chen's actions now, he did not seem to be gravely injured at all.

The old woman beside him stared at Lin Chen, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth: "Young fellow, quite interesting."

Lin Chen strode into the living room, glanced at the beaten Zhou Wu on the floor, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Is this your doing?"

Zhang Shoushan scoffed coldly: "This is the fate of a betrayer. After I deal with you, I'll throw you both into a dog cage to feed the dogs."

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with a cold sharpness as he looked at the old woman: "Was it you who poisoned Yu Qing with the Gu?"

The old woman let out a sinister laugh: "Yes, it was me. How does it feel to be stabbed by your own lover? Enjoyable, isn't it!"

Lin Chen sneered coldly: "Very enjoyable, I'll pay you back with interest soon!"

"You're quite arrogant, young man. I'm curious to see what capabilities you actually have." As she spoke, the old woman lunged forward, sending a dozen Gu insects towards Lin Chen like lightning.

Lin Chen was well aware of the power of these Gu insects. A burst of intense flame sprouted from his palm, instantly turning the insects to ash.

"Unexpectedly, you're a fire-type supernatural ability user. Very well, I'll refine you into a Gu Man to serve me." The old woman lunged at Lin Chen again with a sinister laugh.

Although the old woman was skinny as a rail, her moves were extremely swift, continually turning strong Spiritual Energy into bursts of black mist, launching attacks at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's footwork shifted as he dodged her attacks, clashing with the old woman using his Purple Flame Golden Fire.

Torrents of fierce flame kept surging out, extinguishing the black mist from the old woman's palm. Lin Chen knew that the aura she emitted was all Gu poison, and if hit, the consequences would be dire.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several dozen rounds. A strange color flashed across the old woman's face, as she had not expected this young man before her to be so powerful, matching her move for move.

With a muffled sound, the Spiritual Energy of Purple Flame surged within Lin Chen, instantly forcing the old woman to repeatedly retreat.

Zhang Shoushan was shocked by this scene. No matter what, he did not expect that even with the ghostly old woman's formidable strength, she was still no match for Lin Chen.

Now, Zhang Shoushan regretted it. To think he had provoked such a powerful enemy over a single Soul Resurrection Grass.

Seeing the old woman retreat again and again, Lin Chen's onslaught grew even more intense, his fists wrapped in blazing flames, pounding mercilessly at the old woman.

This old lady was not only sinister but also malicious, using Gu techniques to control Yu Qing to strike harshly at him. Regardless of the outcome, this would cause harm to Yu Qing's spirit. Thus, Lin Chen made up his mind to kill this malicious old hag.

With another muffled sound, their fists collided, instantly pulverizing the rocks beneath their feet into dust.

Lin Chen felt an excruciating pain transmitting through his hand, his expression changed as he hurriedly stepped back several paces.

It was then seen that a bloody hole had appeared on Lin Chen's palm, a Gu insect had taken advantage of their fists colliding to enter Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly mobilized his fire Spiritual Power to encircle and attempt to expel the Gu insect.

The old woman laughed sinisterly: "Boy, my Gu insect grew up in the Pool of Hundred Poisons, immune to water and fire, its venom unparalleled. Now that it has entered your body, you are undoubtedly doomed today."

Hearing the old woman's words, Lin Chen's expression became even more unsightly. Indeed, facing the blockade of fire Spiritual Power, the Gu insect was unfazed and quickly rushed towards Lin Chen's heart.

Lin Chen knew that if the Gu reached his heart, he would undoubtedly die.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen quickly pressed on several acupoints on his body to block the Gu insect's path.

Seeing Lin Chen's actions, a cold glint appeared in the old woman's eyes: "Boy, don't bother struggling, it's futile. Today, you will definitely die by my hands."

Almost simultaneously, the old woman's body lunged towards Lin Chen again, her bony hand like a hawk's claw reaching towards Lin Chen's chest.
