Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 492: Chapter 165: Killing Gu Qingfeng with a Palm Strike, Obtaining the Secret Treasure (Please Subscribe)_3

In fact, Gu Qingfeng had stated so much that someone else, if offered such terms, really might have agreed.

Fifty thousand taels of silver, enough for White Tiger Hall’s expenses for a whole year—could Chen Jie really remain unmoved by such a sum?

And was Gu Qingfeng really that easy to kill?

He wasn’t easy to kill; in fact, to take his life, one had to risk injury. But does that mean one should refrain from killing him?

Had he truly come to regard these brothers, who risked their lives for him, as mere bargaining chips?

No, they were not chips!

They were his brothers!

Indeed, when Chen Jie was nurturing them, he indeed used some rhetoric, emphasizing brotherhood for instance, which involved the tactics used by leaders to control their subordinates.

But while interacting with them, Chen Jie had also invested genuine emotions.

Chen Jie admitted that Gu Qingfeng’s offer was very tempting, especially the inclusion of two Tai Sui Pills. These Tai Sui Pills, when combined with Bone Strengthening Pills, could cultivate a martial artist of the Iron Bone Realm.

And a martial artist of the Iron Bone Realm was worth seven or eight martial artists of the Willow Tendon Realm.

Two of these pills alone could offset the training expenses he had spent on the Twelve Guards.

Moreover, there were fifty thousand taels of silver. This amount was sufficient to train one to two hundred mature White Tiger Guards.

So Gu Qingfeng was sincere.

However, the bottom line deep within Chen Jie’s heart told him it was not okay. The lives of brothers could not be traded.

That was the bottom line.

Chen Jie loved wealth and had ways to control his subordinates, and certainly employed some mesmerizing tactics in managing the guild, but he had a bottom line, and that was never to fail those who truly treated him with sincerity!

The Twelve Guards treated him with true sincerity. If he traded their lives for advantage, would he still be human?

Although Chen Jie knew that accepting the offer would mean a gain for him, he would have lost his conscience.

Although he also knew that a conscience was superfluous for those in power, and even harmful.

But he still wanted to retain his conscience.

”Gu Qingfeng, you want to do business with me, fine, then I will set a condition. As long as you agree to it, today’s incidents will be wiped clean.”

”Oh, I knew you would agree. Fine, state your condition!”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, Gu Qingfeng’s face bore a smile, for he knew no one could resist the temptation of profit.

Chen Jiusi would be no exception.

On hearing this, Chen Jie slowly spoke, ”If you can bring my dead brothers back to life, I’ll reconcile with you; otherwise, it’s a fight to the death today!”

Huh!

Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng’s eyes bulged out: ”Are you fucking kidding me!”

At this moment, Chen Jie bellowed angrily, ”You kill my brothers and still have the audacity to spout nonsense. Today, your death is inevitable. Ah Tun, spear!”

Chen Jie shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Zhu, who was on the other side, immediately reacted, remembering Chen Jie’s words.

Unless you bring my brothers back to life, today, it’s a fight to the death!

Tears welled up in his eyes; indeed, they had not followed the wrong leader, the right leader indeed!

The Hall Master was actually willing to forego so much gain for them; such a leader was truly worth their allegiance.

Bai Wenjing, standing beside, smiled and nodded in approval; what he loved most about Chen Jiusi was that, no matter his status, he never forgot his initial resolve!

And Chen Gou, who was lying on the ground in too much pain to speak, still managed to split a grin when Chen Jie said those words, ”a fight to the death.” This was the Hall Master they loyally followed, the broad-minded Hall Master in their hearts!

”Hall Master, catch.”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s call, Ah Tun ran over and threw the spear Chen Jie had planted in the ground straight towards him.

Chen Jie watched as the spear flew towards him, grabbed it, and then thrust it at Gu Qingfeng.

So you’re relying on your dagger?

You’re no match for my spear.

There’s a saying: ”An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch short, an inch dangerous.”

Chen Jie, with his spear in hand, struck with the ”Thirteen Breaking Tribulation Strokes.”

He directly lunged at Gu Qingfeng, who only then reacted, shouting in anger, ”You’re insane, fighting to the death with a peer over a few useless guards—are you sick?”

As he said this, he picked up a saber from the ground and began to exchange weapons with Chen Jie.

Chen Jie replied, ”Say it one more time, they are my brothers.”

”Bullshit brothers, nothing but pawns.”

Clang clang clang clang~

A series of clashes between sword and saber erupted, sending sparks flying, as both sides fought tempestuously.

Needless to say, Gu Qingfeng’s Kung Fu was very solid, and his strength far surpassed that of bottom-ranked Thirteen Grand Protectors like Qin Ying, and his ability wasn’t even inferior to Peng Shizhong’s.

Especially his ”Ghost Hands” when executing saber techniques, often dazzling onlookers.

Chen Jie, with his spear in hand, had barely exchanged nearly twenty moves when Gu Qingfeng suddenly lunged close, dodged Chen Jie’s spear thrust with his waist, followed the shaft to get close to Chen Jie, and then his dagger swept straight towards Chen Jie’s throat.

Chen Jie, startled, immediately let go of his spear and performed the ”Thunder Step.”

With a whoosh, he darted out of the way.

Gu Qingfeng was momentarily stunned; he hadn’t expected Chen Jie to be able to dodge his fatal strike.

Especially Chen Jie’s sudden qinggong step technique; what kind of qinggong was that, to allow for such speed?

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and thought, alright, you like to fight at close quarters, huh?

So be it, let us fight properly, take my palm!

Chen Jie said and directly struck out, aiming his palm straight towards Gu Qingfeng’s back.

Gu Qingfeng was alarmed and hurriedly dodged, but Chen Jie had already preemptively moved to another side, striking again with another palm towards Gu Qingfeng.
