Chapter 108: 108 is still too kind-hearted

The aura around Lan Shu was incredibly terrifying; the force of it even managed to slightly affect Chu Xiyue and Su Qingzhen standing behind Gu Yang, causing their hearts to pound anxiously.
Just as they thought this fearsome woman was about to strike, her aura suddenly receded and she became seemingly nonchalant.
She said, “I’m curious, where does your confidence come from? You should know, your half-baked ‘God Destroyer Nine Styles’ can’t touch me.”
Her tone suggested that she wasn’t impressed by Gu Yang’s previous ruthless move.
To some extent, Gu Yang’s ‘God Destroyer Nine Styles’ was indeed unorthodox, since he had not cultivated the ‘Heavenly Elemental God Slaying Art’. However, not everyone at First Rank has the right to say that.
Gu Yang could feel that Lan Shu’s cultivation level far surpassed his. If they were to fight, he would be at a great disadvantage.
However, since she didn’t directly attack, it seems unlikely that she would.
To be honest, he hadn’t expected to be able to kill Liu Zhe on this trip.
But when Liu Zhe’s posture was so perfect, he reflexively struck.
Gu Yang gave a faint smile, “Why don’t you guess?”
“Forget it, it doesn’t concern me.”
Lan Shu reverted to her previous indifferent stance, saying, “In any case, there will be someone to settle the scores with you. Good luck.”
“Wait a moment.”
Seeing her about to leave, Gu Yang called out to her, “Miss, you borrowed my knife last time. Shouldn’t you return it now?”
Lan Shu touched the Phoenix Feather Knife in her hand, her eyes somewhat reluctant. In the end, she flung the knife over to him and left. She didn’t even give a glance to the members of the Liu family present.
Gu Yang caught the Phoenix Feather Knife; gaining back what he had lost made him quite happy.
This knife is worth two hundred thousand after all.
He was right. This woman hadn’t taken Liu Zhe seriously and was cautious, so she wouldn’t act rashly.
The last time Gu Yang had faced her, he had noticed this. Lan Shu didn’t even attack him even though he was only at the second grade.
The so-called magnanimity of the strong, is pure nonsense.
So far, none of the martial artists he had met had this so-called magnanimity of the strong.
Gu Yang preferred to believe that she was being cautious.
Back then, the only one who could have possibly made her cautious was the First Rank accompanying Chu Xiyue.
So, he had brought Chu Xiyue on purpose, and her presence served more than just as a witness.
As he suspected, he was right.
After Liu Zhe’s death, Lan Shu didn’t make a move, she even returned the Phoenix Feather Knife.
Next, Gu Yang looked at the members of the Liu family present, contemplating how to deal with them.
At this point, Liu Hai woke up and seeing the body of Liu Zhe, he let out a mournful cry. Struggling to kneel before Gu Yang, he said, “Master Gu, I am willing to offer up all my assets, as long as you spare the others of the Liu family.”
Addressing Miss Su, he said, “The order to annihilate the Su family was given by us three brothers, and the one who executed it was my youngest brother. It had nothing to do with anyone else. If you want revenge, kill me.”
Having said that, he closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate.
Su Qingzhen gripped the handle of her sword tightly, her chest heaving rapidly. The thought of this day, when she could personally take her revenge, had permeated her every moment for the past several months.
Now, that day had finally arrived.
A gentle voice then echoed in her ears, “If you want them dead, let them all accompany the Su family to the grave.”
Upon hearing these words, the faces of the Liu family members present changed drastically.
One particularly hot-tempered one yelled, “Kill us if you dare, who’s afraid -”
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, a hole had been blown in his forehead, with red and white fluid leaking out.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh….
Nearly at the same time, several figures tried to flee in all directions.
Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt….
Several sounds of air ripping apart were heard, and those figures fell from the sky, their bodies splattered with blood, collapsed on the ground, and didn’t move again.
This sight made all the Liu family members present terrified, and they dared not move.
During this whole process, Gu Yang did not turn his head, he kept looking at Su Qingzhen, in her eyes, he saw a hint of hesitation and mercy.
He understood, and turning to Liu Hai and Liu Yang, he said, “You and you, write down separately the names of the people who were involved in the massacre of the Su family that day. If there’s a single name that doesn’t match, they all die.”
Gu Yang casually pointed to a servant, instructing him to fetch paper and pen.
