Chapter 314: Do you recognize it?

Wei Chen, half-transformed into a humanoid dragon, rushed toward the group.

The two helpers were unable to register Wei Chen’s speed before he smashed them into the ground.

Boom! Boom!

Two craters formed as the two helpers were embedded into the ground. Wei Chen did not wait. He immediately rushed toward the Gu Clan ancestor, the one with the loudest mouth.

"What!?" The Gu Clan ancestor was alarmed. He quickly activated his life-protecting artifact, the Thousand Dharma Bell.

Clang~~~~ Crack....

As Wei Chen’s fist met the bell, its sound reverberated immediately cracked and broke.

Clank! Crash!

The bell had done its job by slowing down the fist, allowing the Gu Clan ancestor to narrowly avoid the punch.

Albeit barely.

But it was only a barely successful evasion. He did not have time to adjust his stance. When Wei Chen’s fist missed its target, he immediately followed up with a kick.

Boom!

Like a flash of a meteor, the Gu Clan ancestor went straight down to the ground, creating another crater.

Wei Chen followed him and began mercilessly beating the Gu Clan ancestor.

Pow! Bam! Boom! Bang!

"Do you think you’re some hot shit, huh? Do you want to die!? Do you even have any basic human decency!? Huh? You dipshit! You son of a b*tch! You don’t see Mount Tai, right!? Now, have you seen it yet, you dumb f*ck!?"

Wei Chen cursed as each swear word was accompanied by a punch that shattered another one of the Gu Clan ancestor’s front teeth.

While Wei Chen was in the middle of testing whether his fist or the Gu Clan ancestor’s front teeth would be stronger, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Wei Chen stopped and looked back in annoyance, but the moment he clearly saw who it was, he froze.

It was his boss, the Lord of Death, who had patted his shoulder.

Wei Chen noticed that his boss’s torso was completely naked, with only his pants on. Judging from the state of his pants, he seemed to have put them on in a hurry.

"Step back a little. Give me some room," the Lord of Death said as he gestured for Wei Chen to step back.

Wei Chen looked around and saw many people coming out of their residences to see what had happened. Among them, he noticed the four wives of his boss in rather inconvenient attire. Their hair was messy, their faces flushed red, and their breathing was ragged. Some of them even had shy expressions, while their clothes seemed to have been hastily thrown on.

"Oh..."

Wei Chen blurted out.

It’s not just him, huh?

The realization dawned on him, and Wei Chen wisely stepped back to make some room for his boss.

The moment Wei Chen stepped back, the Gu Clan ancestor seemed to suddenly have been injected with steroids. He immediately propped himself up.

"You insolent ant! My senior brother knows that I came down here! If I die here, he will definitely come down to avenge me! To him, you are nothing more than an ant, while he is Mount Tai! If you kowtow to me, then..."

Orrrf!

Before the Gu Clan ancestor could continue, a foot violently planted itself into his stomach.

Boom!

It was the Lord of Death’s foot, and true to his name, an aura of death began corroding the Gu Clan ancestor’s stomach.

Vomit, half-digested food, and several partially refined pills came out of his mouth, all covered in slimy liquid and stomach acid.

The moment those pills came out, the Gu Clan ancestor’s aura noticeably weakened.

It was clear that all of his pompous entrance and overwhelming power had mostly come from those power-up pills.

His cultivation suddenly dropped to the mid-stage of the Pseudo Immortal Realm. His face looked noticeably older as the cultivation that had supported his longevity left him, taking the additional lifespan he had gained from it as well.

"What a pathetic sight..." the Lord of Death said disdainfully as he looked at the pills covered in slime and stomach acid.

"You can’t even properly refine the pills you consume. Your cultivation foundation is nothing but a farce, a shaky foundation like a house hastily built upon a bed of straw."

Boom!

Once more, he stomped down on the Gu Clan ancestor’s stomach.

"Call your senior brother here. Now. Call your elders and sect leader too while you’re at it. I hate dealing with stragglers," the Lord of Death said in annoyance.

The Gu Clan ancestor was clearly feeling the overwhelming power of the man standing on top of him. Yet instead of being afraid, an unhinged smile appeared on his face, as if everything were going exactly according to plan.

He did not hesitate. He quickly produced a jade slip and crushed it.

The jade slip was something he had bought from his senior brother as a life-saving treasure.

Once he crushed it, his senior brother would descend along with an artifact capable of obscuring the detection of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. This would conceal him from the punishment of Heaven while allowing him to maintain his full power.

A brief moment after he crushed the jade slip, the sky trembled. The clouds parted as a light portal appeared in the heavens.

Then, a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties descended from the portal, carrying every bit of the demeanor of a high-ranking elite.

The man had the classic appearance of an arrogant senior brother. He had sharp eyes that seemed to say the world owed him money and that everything in existence revolved around him.

Most importantly, he completely ignored the ants of the lower realm and looked directly at his junior brother, the Gu Clan ancestor.

"Gu Tianyang..." the senior brother called out, looking down from the sky like a god gazing upon mortals.

"Calling me down to this filthy, mundane mortal realm is going to cost you... dearly."

"Yes, Senior Brother! I’ll pay! I’m sure that my descendants would gladly pay... No, contribute to your cultivation!" Gu Tianyang immediately placated his senior brother.

After hearing what he wanted to hear, the senior brother turned toward Wei Chen and the Lord of Death, looking down from the sky as if he loved staring at people from beneath his chin. He reminded Wei Chen of that brat from magic school who loved telling everyone that his father was a big shot and that they were "going to hear about this" whenever something did not go his way.

The senior brother scrutinized both Wei Chen and the Lord of Death for a while. Then he looked down at Gu Tianyang, who was still being stepped on, before looking back at the duo.

"Hmm... I’m curious. What kind of divine physique must you two possess to be able to defeat my junior brother? Even though he is trash, trash from the Immortal Realm should still be beyond what an average cultivator from the mundane mortal realm can reach."

"Hmm... If I were to obtain both of your bodies, my cultivation might even rise to another realm!"

The moment Wei Chen heard those words from the senior brother, the hair on his body stood on end. A spark of disgust ran through him.

"Okay buddy... You might be interested in the backend, but I’m not swinging that way."

Wei Chen immediately retorted as he unconsciously stepped behind his boss.

Hearing Wei Chen’s words, the senior brother was confused for a brief moment before anger replaced his confusion.

"You insolent ant! You have eyes but fail to see Mount Tai! You dare disrespect me? Kneel and prepare to receive your judgment!" The senior brother roared as he pointed at both Wei Chen and the Lord of Death.

The Lord of Death’s face turned cold.

"That’s right..." he slowly uttered. "Kneel."

The moment the word came out, it was as if a giant hand had pushed down from the sky. The senior brother was immediately crushed to the ground and forced to kneel.

As the overwhelming power crashed down upon him, the senior brother was completely unprepared. His internal organs were shaken violently, but he was stronger than the one who had come during the day, so he was only injured and did not spit out blood.

Otherwise, the green flame might devour him as well, burning his blood away and preventing even a drop from touching the ground.

The moment the senior brother was forced to kneel on the ground from the pressure alone, it was as if thunder had struck Gu Tianyang. His entire worldview and understanding of the world crumbled in an instant.

His face immediately turned pale.

Something must have happened during the day. That was why his descendant had not called him down! And yet, he had thought those children must have simply forgotten and decided to come down himself!

What a terrible mistake!

Seeing this, Wei Chen stepped forward.

"Ahem, ahem! Let me establish some understanding here."

After a few deliberately exaggerated coughs, he gestured toward the senior brother.

"Ants!" he said, emphasizing the word.

Then he turned and gestured toward his boss.

"Mount Tai." He emphasized the words once more before looking back at the senior brother.

"Do you recognize it?"
