Ku Lei raised his hand and a ball of spiritual energy formed at his fingertips. He aimed it at Wang Chen, who was still unconscious, and prepared to strike. "You're going to pay for what you've done," he snarled, as he launched the attack towards Wang Chen's body.
Suddenly, Wang Chen's eyes shot open and he rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly blast of spiritual energy. He coughed and struggled to catch his breath as he pushed himself up from the ground. "Nice try, but you're not getting rid of me that easily," he growled, clenching his fists.
Ku Lei was taken aback by Wang Chen's sudden revival. "How did you wake up?" he demanded, a hint of fear creeping into his voice.
Wang Chen stood up slowly, his eyes narrowed with fury. "You think you can take me down with a cheap shot like that?" he spat, glaring at Ku Lei. "You're a coward, just like your grandpa. Always trying to attack sneakily and catch me off guard."
Ku Lei took a few steps back, fear written all over his face. "Wh-where is my grandfather and what the hell happened to him?" he stammered, his voice trembling.
Wang Chen's lips twisted into a wicked grin. "Your grandpa's long gone" he sneered. "And he's probably burning in hell as we speak, paying for all his sins." He took a step closer, his eyes narrowed. "He should have been ashamed of giving birth to scum like you and your worthless family."
Wang Chen's words struck Ku Lei like a bolt of lightning. Enraged by the insult to his grandfather, he lunged towards Wang Chen with all his might. "You will pay for this with your life!" he shouted, as he aimed a powerful blow at Wang Chen.
But Wang Chen was ready for him. He dodged Ku Lei's attack and retaliated with a swift punch to Ku Lei's gut. The force of the blow knocked the wind out of Ku Lei, sending him crashing to the ground. "You're no match for me," Wang Chen said, as he stood over Ku Lei. "Your grandfather made the mistake of underestimating me, and now you've paid the price. But don't worry, you'll be joining him soon."
Ku Lei groaned in pain as he struggled to stand up. But before he could gather his bearings, a group of Ku family servants rushed to his aid, surrounding him protectively. "Young Master, are you okay?" one of them asked, while the others glared at Wang Chen with hatred in their eyes.
Wang Chen scanned the faces of the Ku family servants who had gathered around Ku Lei's fallen form. The mix of fear and concern on their faces was almost comical to him. He shook his head in disbelief. "You guys really don't get it, do you?" he said with a chuckle. "You serve a family that's rotten to the core, and you're still loyal? Your loyalty is in the wrong place."
One of the servants stepped forward, his voice shaking with fear. "Y-Young Master Wang, please spare us," he pleaded. "We only serve the Ku family because we have no other choice. We're just trying to survive."
Wang Chen's eyes narrowed as he glared at the servant. "Survive?" he repeated incredulously. "You call this survival? Serving a family of murderers and liars? You're just as guilty as they are, and you'll pay the price for your loyalty."
Wang Chen advanced on the servant who had stepped forward to plead with him. The servant's eyes widened in terror as Wang Chen approached, and he tried to back away, but it was too late. With a single swift motion, Wang Chen drew his sword and plunged it into the servant's chest. The servant let out a strangled cry and fell to the ground, writhing in agony as he clutched at the blade protruding from his chest.
Wang Chen watched coldly as the servant took his last breath. He had no remorse for what he had done. In his mind, anyone who served the corrupt Ku family was just as guilty as they were. The servant had made his choice, and now he was paying the price for it.
"You see?" Wang Chen sneered at them. "This is what happens when you serve a family like the Ku's. Death is the only reward for your loyalty."
Wang Chen moved towards the group of servants, who stood in front of him, fear and desperation in their eyes. They tried to struggle, but Wang Chen was too fast for them. In a matter of seconds, he killed all of them, showing no mercy or hesitation in his movements. The sound of their bodies hitting the ground echoed through the destroyed house.
He turned his attention back to Ku Lei, who was still lying on the ground, trying to catch his breath. The young man's eyes were filled with fear as Wang Chen approached him. "P-Please...don't kill me," Ku Lei pleaded, his voice trembling.
"You know, Ku Lei, I'm getting tired of hearing the same old dialogue from you and your family members," Wang Chen said with a chuckle.
Ku Lei looked at him with confusion, unsure of what he meant.
Wang Chen let out a cold laugh. "You sound just like your grandfather," he said, his eyes narrowing. "Always begging for mercy at the last minute."
Ku Lei tried to scramble away, but it was no use. Wang Chen was too fast. He grabbed Ku Lei by the shoulder and leaned in close.
"You guys always say the same thing in situations like this," Wang Chen continued. "So, I thought, why not give you the same death as your grandfather hehehe?"
Wang Chen's eyes glinted with a cold determination as he placed his hand on Ku Lei's shoulder. He could feel the surge of energy coursing through his veins, and a purple aura began to emanate from his hand. The air around them crackled with an intense energy, and Ku Lei's eyes widened in terror.
His body began to convulse as the purple qi enveloped him, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream. But it was too late. Just like his grandfather, Ku Lei turned to ashes before Wang Chen's eyes.
With a sigh of relief, Wang Chen stepped back and looked around the ruined house. The battle was over, and he had emerged victorious. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.
"System, show my status," Wang Chen said out loud.
