301: Death of Dr. Chen

If it weren't for Nan Qingyue, this situation wouldn't have arisen; as a result, Physician Chen's heart was filled with even more resentment toward Nan Qingyue.

For Physician Chen and Situ Jiu, if Nan Qingyue hadn't made this choice, their circumstances wouldn't be like this.

From the very beginning, Physician Chen did not trust Mu Changan, but Nan Qingyue chose to believe in him.

It was precisely because of Nan Qingyue that things had come to this.

Mu Changan stepped forward, his face grim. "I suggest you stop struggling. If you continue like this, I will take action."

"If that happens, you will all die."

Mu Changan's words were filled with threat.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling utterly helpless.

Originally, Nan Qingyue thought she could control Mu Changan, but in the end, it was just her own naivety.

Mu Changan's strength was formidable; he was not someone who could be controlled, and moreover, he would never be willing to be controlled by a young girl.

For Mu Changan, that would be a disgrace. Because of this, he would never let such a thing happen, making the situation even more hopeless.

"Physician Chen, take Situ Jiu and leave first! We will regroup later." Nan Qingyue had no other choice. If her strength were greater,

Nan Qingyue would have had some confidence, but she had no say at all in front of Mu Changan.

"We don't need your help, and of course, don't even think about going! We won't let this guy go! Neither of you will see Li Changfeng!" Physician Chen's face was dark.

At this moment, Physician Chen clenched his fists tightly; he had already made up his mind.

Mu Changan's motives were unclear. If they really brought him to Li Changfeng's side and he decided to attack, no one would be able to stop him.

Doing this was far too dangerous, and for Nan Qingyue, there was no benefit whatsoever.

As a result, Physician Chen became even more determined, clenching his fists tightly.

"Even if I die, you won't find Li Changfeng! You'll never know where he is!" Physician Chen's face was grim, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, Mu Changan looked up, his bright eyes staring fixedly at Physician Chen.

He used this very method.

Physician Chen felt even more helpless because he knew very well that even so, there was nothing he could do.

"Fine, you're asking for death!" Mu Changan's face was dark. He turned back, a cold light flashing in his bright eyes.

Mu Changan stared intently at Physician Chen, powerful Qi erupting from his body.

Boom.

Another loud roar echoed.

The Qi on Mu Changan's body directly exploded out, releasing a powerful air current.

Yellow sand flew all around, causing Nan Qingyue to squint, unable to open her eyes.

Physician Chen couldn't withstand it either. He reached out to shield his eyes, intending to use his own Qi to resist the air current.

However, the Qi Physician Chen had just managed to gather was instantly scattered by the Qi from Mu Changan's body.

This was absolute power. Facing an opponent of this level, Physician Chen had no way out, let alone the ability to fight.

Physician Chen knew in his heart that if Mu Changan had truly intended to kill him, he would have been dead long ago.

"You didn't kill me? You're not killing me?" Physician Chen's face was grim, his eyes hollow, filled with confusion and lack of understanding.

Why didn't Mu Changan strike just now?

Had he changed his mind?

But Mu Changan had just said himself that he was going to use his martial force to kill Physician Chen.

Clearly, at the final moment, Mu Changan had abandoned his attack.

It was because of this that Physician Chen survived; otherwise, he would already be a dead man.

"Killing you is an easy matter for me." Mu Changan curled his lips into a cold smile. "However, while I can kill you, there's still a difference compared to just striking directly."

"I dislike trouble, and killing is a troublesome thing."

"If I kill you, your friends will seek revenge against me."

"If I kill your friends, then your friends' friends will come for me. I don't want that much trouble for now, so I chose another way: making you back down in the face of difficulty."

"You should understand that if I want to find Li Changfeng, none of you can stop me. Instead of that, you might as well step aside and make a path. That way, you might even keep your lives."

Mu Changan's face was grim. His voice wasn't loud, but it was audible to everyone present.

Mu Changan appeared calm, but his words were filled with a threatening tone.

Physician Chen's pupils constricted. He realized he had encountered an extraordinary person; perhaps he really would die here, at this man's hands.

Thinking of this, Physician Chen couldn't help but retreat several steps, wanting to distance himself from Mu Changan.

"Senior, stop! If anyone dies here, you can forget about ever finding Baiyi Luos Tomb." Nan Qingyue clenched her fists tightly.

Nan Qingyue's expression was unsightly; she naturally understood in her heart that she couldn't control this Mu Changan at all.

However, Nan Qingyue knew what she was doing. Things had already reached this point; if she didn't take a gamble, there was no telling what Mu Changan might do.

"I'm telling the truth, I'm telling you very seriously." Nan Qingyue looked up, a cold light flashing in her bright eyes.

However, upon hearing this, Mu Changan laughed.

This time, Mu Changan's smile grew even wider—a smile of pure contempt.

Mu Changan didn't take Nan Qingyue seriously at all. What could a mere young woman do? If Mu Changan wanted to, he had ten thousand ways to make Nan Qingyue's life worse than death.

But for now, Mu Changan didn't want to do that.

"I suggest you don't act recklessly, otherwise, the ones who get hurt in the end will definitely be you," Mu Changan sneered.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue's heart trembled. She sucked in a breath of cold air, trying to use this method to calm herself down.

However, Nan Qingyue couldn't calm down at all; her hands were constantly trembling.

Moreover, a sense of fear sprouted in Nan Qingyue's heart. She clenched her fists tightly, a cold light flashing in her eyes as she stared fixedly at Mu Changan.

"What do you mean?" Nan Qingyue's brow furrowed.

But the moment she finished saying it, Nan Qingyue instantly regretted it.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Mu Changan sneered, and suddenly he moved. His figure vanished from the spot, leaving only an afterimage. In less than a breath's time, he had arrived beside Physician Chen.

"I told you not to act recklessly, otherwise, the ones getting hurt will definitely be you. Of course, I'm very tired right now, so I don't want to do anything more drastic yet." Mu Changan directly picked Physician Chen up by the collar.

Mu Changan's strength was immense; he could easily lift Physician Chen up.

In Mu Changan's hands, Physician Chen had no room to resist, nor any way out whatsoever.

As a result, Physician Chen once again fell into a dangerous situation.

"What are you doing?" Nan Qingyue's face was dark. She looked up, a cold light flashing in her eyes as she stared fixedly at Mu Changan.

"Naturally, I'm giving you a warning. If you don't listen, then I'll have no choice but to take action." Mu Changan's face was grim.

Mu Changan had a serious expression; it didn't look like he was lying.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue remained defiant. Her face was dark as she stared fixedly at Mu Changan.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't take you to see Li Changfeng?" Nan Qingyue snorted coldy.

But these words were exactly what provoked Mu Changan.

Mu Changan looked up, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Afraid? Do you think that just because you don't want to take me, you really won't have to?" Mu Changan barked coldly.

"If you really think that, aren't you being too naive?"

"Don't you forget, I have two hostages in my hands. If you are unwilling to take me, I will make these two die right here."

As Mu Changan spoke, he reached out and lifted Physician Chen up high.

Instantly, Physician Chen felt a powerful sensation of suffocation; he could no longer breathe.

It was at this very moment.

Physician Chen felt even more helpless. He had said from the beginning not to trust Mu Changan, but Nan Qingyue had refused to listen.

There was nothing to be done about it now.

Regardless, Physician Chen had already done everything he could from the start. All the things he did were for the sake of Li Changfeng, Nan Qingyue, and their group.

"Don't! Senior!" Nan Qingyue suddenly panicked, her pupils constricting violently.

In truth, Nan Qingyue hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this—that the companions she spoke of would actually become hostages in Mu Changan's hands.

Nan Qingyue stepped forward, looking extremely nervous.

"What's wrong? Changed your mind? Good, then let's go. I don't want to delay any longer; we need to be quicker." Mu Changan smiled slightly.

In fact, Mu Changan's goal was very simple: he just wanted to know the location of Baiyi Luos Tomb.

As long as Li Changfeng was willing to speak, everything would become very simple.

However, Nan Qingyue's group, fearing that Mu Changan would harm Li Changfeng, had kept delaying. This behavior was precisely what had fanned the flames of anger in Mu Changan's heart.

"I have no more time, and I certainly don't want to keep waiting. If you want to take me there, then hurry up and lead the way."

"If you don't want to, then these two—and naturally including you as well—will all die here."

Mu Changan's face was dark, his expression serious. Looking at him, it didn't seem like he was joking.

As such, there was really no other choice.
