Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 69 The Shocked Disciples

The pounding on the door grew more violent, the wooden planks trembled, and dust fell in clumps, as if it were about to be smashed to pieces at any moment.

Su Chen reached out and lifted the door latch.

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

Outside the door, Li Luo and his two companions, all burly and fierce-looking, were raising their hands to smash something when their movements suddenly froze in mid-air. They paused for a moment, then instinctively looked inside the door.

A boy was standing inside the door.

The boy was tall and slender, with delicate features, a sickly pallor, and an inexplicable air of refined elegance.

His aloof, indifferent, and subtly refined demeanor seemed completely out of place in this menial work area.

Li Luo and the other two were slightly taken aback, and a thought involuntarily surfaced in their minds.

This kid seems a little different.

Something seems to have changed —

Upon closer inspection, they couldn't quite put their finger on what had changed. After a moment of confusion, they didn't think much of it, assuming it was just their imagination.

After all, he was just a menial disciple; what kind of changes could he possibly make?

Li Luo, the leader, sneered, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said disdainfully, "What, kid, scared?"

"Finally, you've decided to let go?"

He took a step closer, looking down at Su Chen, his tone growing increasingly cold.

"But being afraid won't help!"

"I told you to open the door, but you wouldn't, making us wait for so long for nothing!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson now, I'll change my name, Li Luo!"

As he spoke, he brazenly sized up the thin boy in front of him.

Looking at the thin, pale-faced boy who seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, a hint of pleasure flashed across his face.

The thought of the boy in front of him being thoroughly humiliated and disciplined by them filled him with immense pleasure.

Upon arriving at the Haoran Immortal Sect, due to his talent, he became a menial disciple and had to humble himself, feeling resentful for quite some time.

Now, I can finally find some pleasure from this boy in front of me!

The thought of the boy in front of him being pinned to the ground and punished, wailing and begging for mercy, gave him an increasingly morbid sense of pleasure.

Beside him, Tian Jingzhao, whose face was ordinary, couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes full of mockery.

Wang Chong, with his cold and sinister face, also had eyes as venomous as a snake.

The malice in the eyes of the three was undisguised.

Hearing their words, Su Chen didn't react at all, he just looked at them coldly.

It looked like looking at three corpses.

Meanwhile, in a nearby area, many of the handyman disciples also noticed the commotion.

Heads popped out from the dilapidated wooden houses.

Whispers broke out.

"This person is doomed—"

"How pitiful—"

Some shook their heads and sighed, some looked at them with pity, and some smiled with schadenfreude in their eyes.

In this menial area, seeing the miserable state of others can be considered a form of entertainment.

Looking at the grinning Li Luo and his two companions, they could already imagine what was to come.

They seemed to see Li Luo and his two companions grinning maliciously as they taught the boy a lesson, while the boy screamed in agony.

At this time.

"Heh—" Li Luo sneered and swung his fist.

If this punch lands, the kid in front of me will definitely collapse to the ground, howling in pain!

However, just as Li Luo and his two companions made their move, the onlookers, the servants, were thinking the same thing.

Suddenly, what happened next took all of them by surprise.

Su Chen waved his sleeve.

The air seemed to be violently torn apart by an invisible force.

Li Luo and the other two froze abruptly, as if struck by a giant hammer, and were sent flying backward.

"ah!!!"

The piercing screams echoed.

boom! boom! boom!

Three dull thuds sounded almost simultaneously.

Dust flying everywhere!

The three men crashed heavily to the ground, their chests caved in, blood gushing from their mouths, their bodies convulsing and curling into a ball, howling in heart-wrenching agony.

Screams echoed incessantly throughout the servants' quarters.

This moment.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

The dozens of servant disciples watching from the sidelines stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

Li Luo and the other two collapsed to the ground, blood continuously oozing from the corners of their mouths.

Their chests heaved violently, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.

"You—you—"

The three men's voices trembled, and they couldn't utter a complete sentence.

They simply couldn't believe what they were witnessing.

Shouldn't they be the ones roughly disciplining and punishing this boy? How did it turn into them being disciplined by this boy?

This guy, with just a flick of his sleeve, turned them into this?!

Like he'd been beaten to a pulp?

How is this possible?!

How could this guy in front of me possess such power?

Wasn't he just a sickly, ordinary person?!

As their thoughts raced, a figure involuntarily surfaced in their minds.

Ding Sheng!

That old man with a wrinkled face named Ding Sheng once told them with certainty that this kid was just a sickly rich young master who couldn't do anything and was a soft persimmon to be squeezed by others!

That's how they see it too.

This guy, judging from both his physique and complexion, is pretty much as the old man described.

But what's going on here?

With just a sleeve, they became like this?

What's wrong with this guy?!

For a moment, they were both incredulous and terrified.

Su Chen looked at the three people lying on the ground, vomiting blood and filled with fear, with a cold gaze and calm expression.

If he weren't afraid that killing someone in front of everyone in the sect would cause some unknown trouble, he would definitely have sent those three people on their way.

However, although that's what he thought, Li Luo and the other two didn't think so; they thought he wanted to kill him.

"You—you can't kill us!"

"If you kill us, you won't be able to stay in the Haoran Immortal Sect either. The sect has rules against killing fellow disciples!"

"Also, we're Gu Jia's people. If you kill us, you're finished!"

"Senior Sister Gu Jia will definitely take action and punish you. You're dead then!"

Just as they were enduring the pain and shouting in terror.

Not far away, some of the onlookers, including the servants, couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

"Senior Sister Gu Jia?"

They naturally knew who Gu Jia's senior sister was.

Not long ago, the scene of a girl in a blue silk dress with a cold face and a young man in a blue robe with a smile walking hand in hand toward the top of the Eighty-Nine Peaks flashed through their minds.

Although they ranked last among the eighty-nine peaks, there were always some outstanding individuals among the ten thousand miscellaneous disciples. Senior Sister Gu Jia and Senior Brother Lin Bufan were the most exceptional among them!

You should know that the higher you go on a mountain, the denser the spiritual energy becomes, but they can only live at the foot of the mountain, while Senior Sister Gu Jia and Senior Brother Lin Bufan can live on the mountain peak!

From this, we can see the difference between Gu Jia and her seniors, as well as the huge gap in their qualifications, which they cannot compare to!

And these three people, Li Luo, are actually Gu Jia's senior sister's people?!

This guy's in trouble!

He Yu and the other menial disciples thought with pity and schadenfreude.

This guy is finished for offending Senior Sister Gu Jia!

Listening to the voices coming from the servant disciples not far away, and seeing the slightly smug smiles on the faces of Li Luo and the other two.

Su Chen's calm voice echoed, "So what?"

The scene fell silent.

Li Luo, Wang Chong, and Tian Jingzhao, along with He Yu and other miscellaneous disciples, all showed expressions of stunned disbelief.
