Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

Everyone present couldn't help but feel deep disgust and disdain for Gongsun Ce. As the master of Jueqing Valley, before this, Gongsun Ce was not only a martial arts master, but also a role model and leader in everyone's hearts.

However, at this moment, he was willing to sacrifice the life of his own daughter Gongsun Lue'e as a bargaining chip in order to survive. Such behavior was a ruthless trampling on the bottom line of human nature, and it made those present feel angry and sad.

At this moment, the only thing burning in Gongsun Zhi's heart was the desire to survive. He seemed to be on a deserted island. Everything around him was no longer important, and naturally he would not care about the eyes of others.

Those disciples of Jueqing Valley who had been respectful and obedient to him, as well as those servants who were busy shuttling around the mansion, now turned into illusory shadows in Gongsun Zhi's eyes.

Whether they exist or not is meaningless to Gongsun Zhi, because they have betrayed him and stood on the opposite side of him. In his eyes, they are just a group of traitors and he doesn't care about them at all.

"Hahaha……"

A burst of wild and uninhibited laughter burst out from Gongsun Zhi's throat. In that laughter there was a hint of madness and success, mixed with mockery and unwillingness towards fate.

"Qiu Ganchi, ah Qiu Ganchi, you have planned everything, but you never expected that this move could not completely kill me! Now although I am seriously injured, I am still alive. What can you do to me?"

Gongsun Zhi's right eye had become a bloody hole, with bright red blood flowing out like a stream, slowly sliding down his cheek, eventually dyeing half of his face red, making Gongsun Zhi's already gloomy face even more terrifying.

After a burst of cold and chilling laughter, Gongsun Zhi couldn't help laughing out loud again. The cold laughter penetrated the echo of the valley, sounding extremely harsh and arrogant, venting the tension and anger in his heart.

Xu Xingchen originally thought that Gongsun Zhi still had some conscience. After learning that his daughter Gongsun Lue'e could not escape the predicament, he would show flaws, revealing his usually imperceptible fragility or hesitation, thus becoming an opportunity for them to rescue Gongsun Lue'e.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zhi was such a scheming person and so decisive when faced with things. Xu Xingchen couldn't help but be very angry.

Qiu Ganchi's emotions at this moment were like a candle flame in a strong wind, swaying unsteadily. Her eyes, which were once as sharp as an eagle's, were now filled with a haze of panic and anxiety, as if they would be swallowed by fear at any time.

Her heart beat faster, and every beat was accompanied by deep worry about Gongsun Zhi, this cold-blooded and ruthless man. Would he really harm his daughter Gongsun Lu'e?

This worry was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making Qiu Ganchi almost unable to breathe.

Seeing that there was no way to resolve the matter, Xu Xingchen had to take a deep breath, calm himself down, and speak.

"Gongsun Zhi, you just want to stay alive. As long as you let her go, I will spare your life. I promise that I will not hurt you in the slightest. You can leave here safely."

When Gongsun Zhi heard this, a complicated look appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

"Boy, don't try to play any tricks."

"Hahaha……"

Just when the atmosphere between Qiu Ganchi, Xu Xingchen and Gongsun Zhi had become extremely tense, a burst of vulgar laughter came from the rooftop, breaking the frozen air at an inopportune moment.

At this moment, the entire hall seemed to have pressed the pause button, all actions and words were frozen in mid-air, regardless of Qiu Ganchi's eyes that were flashing with complex emotions.

Whether it was the determination revealed in Xu Xingchen's tightly pursed lips, or the changeable expression on Gongsun Zhi's face, they were all interrupted by this sudden laughter, and temporarily put aside their respective calculations and hostility.

For a moment, everyone in the hall, whether it was Xu Xingchen, Qiu Ganchi, Gongsun Zhi, Gongsun Lue'e, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling and a group of Jueqing Valley disciples and servants all turned their eyes to the roof.

Suddenly, four figures were standing on the roof of the hall. The disciples and servants of Jueqing Valley looked at each other, secretly speculating about the impending changes.

There was a feeling of tension and anticipation in the air, as if something was about to begin.

The four uninvited guests standing on the roof of the hall didn't seem to care that they had become the focus of everyone's attention. They were either standing or sitting, with different postures, but all of them revealed something weird.

At this time, when Xu Xingchen's eyes slowly swept over the four figures standing on the roof, his brows couldn't help but frown, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.

The figures of these four uninvited guests, stretched out in the sunlight, looked particularly eerie and terrifying, like demons walked out of hell, making people feel fear involuntarily.

"The Four Evils!!"

Xu Xingchen exclaimed secretly in his heart.

In that magnificent hall, on the towering roof, stood four uninvited guests.

They have different postures, but all exude a heart-pounding aura. These four people are none other than Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan and Yun Zhonghe, the "Four Evil Men" that everyone in the martial arts world is afraid of.

Their names are like curses, echoing in the martial arts world and making people terrified.

“Hahahaha…, this scene today is truly rare in the world! Rare!!”

Yun Zhonghe's laughter echoed in the hall, his voice containing a hint of mockery and disdain.

"First I witnessed a tragedy of a husband and wife killing each other, first I saw the wife kill her husband, then I saw the husband kill his wife. These scenes were more thrilling than any drama."

Having said that, Yun Zhonghe's gaze swept across the chaotic crowd below, and finally stopped on the girl who was held hostage by her own father. The girl's eyes were full of fear and despair. In order to survive, her father was willing to sacrifice his own daughter's life as a bargaining chip and coerce the relatives around him.

"This father, in order to prolong his life, actually treated his own flesh and blood so cruelly. It's really eye-opening! The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. After seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved."

As Yun Zhonghe's low and magnetic voice slowly fell, the air in the hall seemed to solidify, and a sense of depression and heaviness shrouded everyone's heart like a thick dark cloud.

The flickering candlelight illuminated everyone's terrified or indignant faces, adding a sense of uneasiness to the atmosphere.

"Hahahaha..., what Old Four said makes sense!"

Ye Erniang laughed coldly.

The laughter suddenly rang out, sounding particularly harsh and cold in the silent hall. There was a hint of disdain and sarcasm in the laughter, as if it had lost interest in everything in the world, leaving only endless indifference and amusement.

"The world is so vast that nothing is impossible. You can encounter all kinds of strange things."

There was a deep irony in her words, which made people wonder if she was plotting something in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Yue Laosan frowned, and his tiger-like appearance looked even more ferocious. He clenched his fists, making a "clucking" sound, as if he would burst out with amazing power at any time.

"What do you mean by "the world is so vast that nothing is impossible"? To me, all this nonsense is unnecessary! The right thing to do is to let Yue Lao San use my pair of crocodile-mouthed scissors to cut off their heads cleanly with a "click" sound!"

Yue Laosan shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the lingering sound seemed to still linger in the air, but Yun Zhonghe's eyes had quietly changed, and a hint of greed that was difficult to conceal quickly spread in his eyes.

His eyes were as sharp and eager as a cheetah locking onto its prey. They instantly penetrated the noise and chaos around him and locked directly onto the beautiful bodies of several stunning beauties in the field.

The three women, Gongsun Lu'e, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, each with their own unique charm, stood among the crowd, like the most gorgeous flowers in spring, attracting everyone's attention.

However, among these many beautiful figures, the one that Yun Zhonghe could not take his eyes off was Gongsun Lue'e, who was held tightly in the hand of her father Gongsun Zhi. Her delicate face was filled with deep sorrow and despair.

The pair of eyes that were originally clear as water now seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the flashing tears revealed endless sadness and helplessness. This fragility and beauty, like a sharp dagger, deeply hurt Yun Zhonghe's heart that had long been corroded by desire.
