Qin Shufen, the eldest aunt, was scared out of her wits.
This is a solid wood table.
Although she had heard from her daughter that her previously unassuming nephew was now a Martial Artist, it was all hearsay. It felt distant until this moment when she truly felt her nephew's transformation.
He almost seemed like a stranger.
Chen Shouyi noticed the sudden quietness of the atmosphere and felt something was off. He awkwardly said, "Sorry, I got a bit excited."
"No... no problem!" Qin Shufen instinctively swallowed and quickly said, "You came all the way from Hedong; you haven't had dinner, have you? Let me fix you something to eat."
"Aunt, I'm not hungry. No need to trouble yourself," Chen Shouyi interrupted. "I came today to take you away. This isn't something to delay; I think it's best to leave tonight."
Chen Yuwei's eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope, her face full of expectation as she said, "Can we really leave? There are cultists everywhere; I'm afraid we might implicate you!"
"Sis, don't worry about implicating me. But you must think it over; there will be certain dangers on the road, and in intense battles, I might not be able to ensure your safety," Chen Shouyi said seriously.
Qin Shufen sighed, her face darkened. "If it weren't for Yu Wei, I've already thought about committing suicide these days. I'm not afraid of danger; I'm fed up with this life!"
Chen Yuwei's face showed emotion, "Mom..."
At this moment, Chen Shouyi suddenly shushed, interrupting Chen Yuwei, stood up, walked a few steps to the door, quickly opened it, and saw a middle-aged woman sneakily pressing her ear against the door.
Chen Shouyi's face turned cold, "What are you doing?"
With his hearing, he should have noticed long ago, but it was his oversight. He never imagined someone would do this in the middle of the night.
The middle-aged woman's eyes dodged, a trace of embarrassment on her face. Then she looked past Chen Shouyi at Qin Shufen, and in a villain-outraged-first manner, said, "Shufen, I say, can you keep it quiet in your house? All this banging, I thought something happened. The whole building is woken up by you guys."
"Sister Liu, I'm really sorry, accidentally knocked over the table, please bear with us," Qin Shufen said politely, her face a bit flustered.
"Be more careful next time," the middle-aged woman said and hurried into the opposite room, closing the door.
Chen Shouyi was infuriated, closed the door, and said, "This is insane!"
Suddenly he noticed his aunt clenching her fists tightly, looking uneasy.
"Aunt, what's wrong?" Chen Shouyi asked.
Before his aunt could speak, Chen Yuwei coldly said, "This person is a devoted cultist, always keeping a close watch on us, very active, frequently eavesdropping on our door. She probably heard everything just now, and now the surveillance on outsiders is very strict. Visitors or friends at home must be registered at the local church beforehand..."
Before she could finish speaking, a sharp sound came from outside.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
As if someone was forcefully banging a metal basin.
"An outsider has broken in, trying to help the unbeliever Qin Shufen and her daughter from unit 502 in building 12 escape. Church members hurry up and catch them..." soon, the middle-aged woman's piercing scream sounded, exceptionally harsh in the quiet night.
Qin Shufen and Chen Yuwei turned pale upon hearing this.
Chen Shouyi tightly clenched his fists with a grinding noise, anger burning inside with no outlet.
He never thought people could be so wicked. This is simply madness. He decided promptly, "We can't delay any longer, let's go immediately."
"But, our luggage..."
"Mom, forget about the luggage. In a little while, we won't be able to leave," Chen Yuwei hastily said.
"Alright, alright!"
Chen Shouyi shouldered his backpack again, took his sword and briefcase, and expressionlessly opened the door. At this time, he already heard many downstairs residents opening their doors. He coldly glanced at the stairs, then looked at the door opposite, walked up to it in a step, and kicked it hard.
"Boom!" a loud bang.
The anti-theft door, along with the adjoining wall, flew into the living room, causing the plaster overhead to fall like rain.
The middle-aged woman who had been shouting stopped abruptly, her neck stiffly turning, looking in astonishment at the anti-theft door now completely folded together and the wall turned into a big hole, looking in disbelief.
The next moment, she saw the young man she had encountered across the hall stepping into her living room:
"You... you... what are you going to do?" she said in panic-struck confusion.
Chen Shouyi's face was indifferent. Without a word, he swiftly approached, grabbed her throat, and forcefully slammed her to the ground.
The body hit the ground violently, with a dull thud like a watermelon bursting. Without even looking at the result, he turned and walked back.
The bedroom door opened suddenly, and a plump middle-aged man came out, cursing, "What are you doing? If you're going to report, report, no one said to dismantle the house."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly froze, not moving a muscle, and cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead.
Chen Shouyi coldly watched him for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and walked out of the now gaping doorway.
Qin Shufen and Chen Yuwei were already waiting at the entrance.
"Shouyi, what just happened?" Qin Shufen asked, looking at the blood-stained clothes he wore.
"Handled a small pest, let's go," Chen Shouyi said.
"You guys better not think of leaving, give me back my wife's life," the middle-aged man, previously petrified with fear, now somehow mustered the courage to charge out with a kitchen knife.
Chen Shouyi's heart chilled, without even looking, he twisted his waist and kicked with force. "Boom!" the middle-aged man's head exploded from the impact.
Qin Shufen and Chen Yuwei took one glance and felt their stomachs churn, quickly turning away, afraid to see more.
By now, quite a few people had reached the fifth floor; the leader, a burly man wielding an iron pipe, stopped abruptly at the bloody scene, bluffing loudly, "You dare kill, you're done for; no one can save you now!"
"Everyone return to your rooms, or die!" Chen Shouyi said in irritation, his eyes flashing fiercely.
"Someone's already informed the church guards, you can't escape."
He had already warned them once; he wouldn't say it again.
"Sis, take my briefcase!" Chen Shouyi said coldly to Chen Yuwei.
After Chen Yuwei hurried to take it, he took a leap, jumping down eight or nine steps, and punched through the chest of the burly man, then charged into the crowd, grabbing one person by the neck with each hand, and with a slight twist, their necks snapped.
A woman screamed continuously, her pretty face distorted by fear. As she stumbled backward, slipping on the blood under her feet, she fell awkwardly to the ground, whereupon a foot stomped ruthlessly on her chest with a sharp crack, collapsing instantly with splatter of blood and flesh.
"Bang!"
A sudden sound rang out, with a pang in his chest. A bullet rebounded off, hitting a nearby wall, leaving a hole.
Chen Shouyi was slightly surprised, ripping open his chest, revealing tight, robust muscles. He glanced down, discovering that aside from slightly reddened skin, his body was unharmed.
"This... this is impossible, impossible!" a youth holding a gun on the fourth floor nearly collapsed, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Chen Shouyi swung an arm, hurling a nearby old man against the wall. With a crash, it cracked like a spider web, the old man spat a mouthful of blood, then fell silent. Before his body could slide down, Chen Shouyi grabbed the old man and hurled him forcefully at the youth.
The wind howled, and the next moment, "bang," both the youth and the old man fell to the ground, silent.
...
In little more than five seconds, a group of over ten people lay scattered on the ground.
A lot of blood flowed down the stairs continually, filling the entire hallway with a strong, bloody scent.
The previously chaotic footsteps in the building suddenly quieted down, with only the sound of blood dripping down the hallway breaking the silence.
