"Gu poisoning?" Qin Lan's expression changed; she seemed to understand something, yet not completely. "Ye Chen, what is a Gu?"

"Gu is an extremely yin and evil thing. Its forms are myriad, and the methods of deploying Gu are numerous; they can kill a person without a trace, allowing them to die without knowing how they died!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice. "Different Gu have different functions. They have been probably stricken by a type of Gu that devours vital essence, consuming their vitality and causing them to age and die in a very short time!"

"However, Gu Masters are extremely rare in this world, and even fewer can deploy Gu without anyone noticing. I don't know whom they have offended to have a Gu Master act against them!" Ye Chen's tone was grave, his face full of solemnity.

Gu Masters are an extremely bizarre existence; such people pose a great threat as they can kill someone from thousands of miles away using a Gu.

Ye Chen had never fought against a Gu Master because such people were very rare. The reason he knew about this was all recorded in the Tianshi Medical Classic.

"Is there still a chance to save them?" Qin Lan asked anxiously.

The identities of Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang were extraordinary; their deaths in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan would cause a tremendous uproar in society, and the local security capabilities would be questioned by everyone.

"You first dismiss all these medical staff. I'm going to have a showdown with the person who deployed the Gu!" Ye Chen said.

Whether it was Tong Xingtong or Ye Wushuang, both had some connections with Ye Chen. Moreover, these two women had come to Hong Kong and Macau to discuss collaboration with him, but had been exploited by someone using Gu; he couldn't just ignore it!

Moreover, the Gu Master who deployed the Gu against them was using this technique against ordinary people, which was tantamount to causing chaos using martial arts!

Ye Chen always saw himself as an incarnation of justice, so when he saw the existence of evil, he felt he must represent justice and eradicate them.

Qin Lan dismissed all the medical staff in the room and the police, but she herself stayed.

"Why don't you leave?" Ye Chen asked.

"I am a police officer; I must protect you citizens!" Qin Lan declared unabashedly.

"I know you want to see how I drive out the Gu, but once the Gu shows itself, it will be very dangerous here. You might end up making a heroic sacrifice!" Ye Chen stated frankly.

"It's that dangerous!" Qin Lan's face changed, but then she regained her composure. "But even with all the risks, I believe you will definitely protect me well!"

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment and didn't argue with Qin Lan. This policewoman also had some skills; she was not completely defenseless, and having one more person for support here was good.

"Do you have a knife?" Ye Chen asked.

"A knife?" Qin Lan was startled and asked, "What knife?"

"Well, it seems you don't!" Ye Chen smiled helplessly and casually picked up a fruit knife on the table. "Stay away from me, I still don't know what kind of Gu is in them, or whether the Gu will still be aggressive once it leaves the body!"

After a Gu enters a person's body, it causes tremendous harm to the infected person, consuming their life force over an extended period, but some Gu might die quickly once forced out of the body. However, there are types of ferocious Gu that, even when forced out, can independently choose a new host and possess extremely strong offensive power!

"They're already in this state, and you're still going to let them bleed?" Qin Lan exclaimed, seeing Ye Chen's actions.

Ye Chen made a swift move with the knife, slitting open a gash on the hands of Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang, allowing their blood to surge out.

"This blood has been corrupted by the Gu; it's all degenerate bad blood. Continuing to keep it in their bodies would be extremely harmful!" Ye Chen explained.

Qin Lan nodded thoughtfully; Ye Chen's image in her mind became even more mysterious and profound — this guy seemed to know everything!

"Swish, swish!"

Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang's arms were still bleeding profusely. Ye Chen tapped simultaneously on their bodies, hitting specific acupoints. Every tap made their bodies jerk unconsciously, appearing somewhat eerie and unpredictable.

This was Ye Chen's medical technique; he was tapping major acupoints suitable for Gu to reside. He used his True Qi to resonate at these points on their bodies to determine if Gu was present there.

"It's here!" Suddenly, Ye Chen's expression changed as he discovered the position of the Gu in the two women.

"Qin Lan, be careful. I'm going to drive out these two Gu!" Ye Chen shouted fiercely, his True Qi bursting forth from his hands as he began expelling the Gu.

"What!"

Qin Lan looked on in horror at the scene unfolding before her eyes. Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang were unconscious, but their bodies were twitching, especially as Ye Chen's True Qi entered their bodies. Visible streams of energy were moving under their skin, resembling worms climbing up and down their bodies. This unsettling movement was visible to the naked eye, giving Qin Lan a chilling sensation.

"Come out!" Ye Chen's True Qi erupted again, driving the two Gu.

As if stimulated by Ye Chen's True Qi, the two Gu raced within Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang's bodies, finally exiting through the cuts previously made on their wrists by Ye Chen.

Two Gu covered in filthy blood dropped to the ground; their bodies kept surging, a sight utterly terrifying.

However, these two Gu did not die. Suddenly, they leaped up, their weak bodies snapping into two black lines, shooting toward Ye Chen's eyes.

"Bang, bang!"

As if anticipating this, Ye Chen, holding the fruit knife, slashed at the bodies of the two Gu, but unexpectedly, it sounded like metal scraping.

"No good, these are two deliberately cultivated ferocious Gu, possessing immense combat power!" Ye Chen's face changed drastically upon seeing that both creatures were ferocious Gu!

"Qin Lan, stand still and don't move, they only recognize my aura and won't attack you for now." Ye Chen reassured Qin Lan, then he attacked the two Gu with a fruit knife.

"Bang bang!"

Again, the sound of metal clashing rang out as Ye Chen struck the two Gu, but they seemed unharmed and fiercely attacked him once more.

"Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang!"

Ye Chen struck with his knife countless times, but the bodies of the ferocious Gu seemed to be made of iron, utterly indestructible.

However, Ye Chen knew that the bodies of these Gu must have a limit; they were not invincible. Overwhelming them beyond their threshold, the two Gu would naturally perish!

These two ferocious Gu both possessed the combat power of a martial arts master entering the path, but they appeared somewhat fragile in Ye Chen's hands, repeatedly struck down by him. If their bodies weren't as tough as diamond, they would have been annihilated countless times already.

However, Ye Chen didn't fully exert himself yet; he was observing these ferocious Gu. This was his first encounter with a Gu Master, so naturally, he wanted to study this peculiar type of ferocious Gu!

"Bang bang!"

Ye Chen swung his knife again, cutting down the Gu while his eyes suddenly flashed with a deadly intent, indicating he wanted to forcefully exterminate the Gu!

The peculiarities of these two ferocious Gu were beyond Ye Chen's analysis. He wasn't a very patient person, so he decided to exterminate these two ferocious Gu first.

However, with Ye Chen's murderous aura intensifying, these two ferocious Gu, sensing the impending danger, astonishingly abandoned their attack on him and turned fiercely towards the innocent bystander, Qin Lan!

"Ah, don't come near me!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Qin Lan screamed and fired her gun at the two ferocious Gu, but despite several bullets hitting their bodies, they only paused momentarily before attacking her even more ferociously.

"Ah!"

Confronted with the terrifying ferocious Gu, Qin Lan felt a strong sense of helplessness and could only scream out in terror before collapsing to the ground.

Am I going to die? This was the only thought in Qin Lan's mind at that moment.

"Bang, bang!"

However, just as despair took hold of her, Ye Chen swiftly arrived and with one strike sent the two Gu flying.

Qin Lan, having hovered between life and death, felt the beauty of being reborn and was about to thank Ye Chen, but his figure suddenly vanished before her.

"Kill them, exterminate them, and all will be quiet!" Ye Chen looked at the two Gu with murderous eyes.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The two Gu tried to shoot back towards their original host bodies, aiming for Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang.

But the ferocious Gu were fast, and Ye Chen was faster, swift as a specter, striking first despite acting later!

"Die!"

Ye Chen, his face grim, unleashed a fierce strike at the two ferocious Gu.

"Splat! Splat!"

This time the two ferocious Gu weren't knocked to the ground but were split into two blood splatters in mid-air by Ye Chen's strike.

However, as Ye Chen ruthlessly annihilated the two Gu, hundreds of kilometers away in a mansion, a woman instantaneously felt a connection; she frowned slightly and a hint of pain appeared on her face.

"To compel my ferocious Gu to emerge, I wonder who this formidable person is!" The woman stared in the direction of Ye Chen, her words filled with unending chill. "However, you dared to kill my carefully cultivated Bloodthirsty Ferocious Gu, harming a trace of my vitality, then you cannot blame me for being ruthless in my response!"

The woman closed her eyes, her hands forming a Gu gesture as if sensing and controlling something.

"This is bad, these are a pair of male and female ferocious Gu; after being annihilated, they can merge and transform into an even more terrifying ferocious Gu!"

After the explosion of the ferocious Gu, Ye Chen's complexion suddenly changed; the two masses of flesh didn't scatter on the ground but were instead controlled by an invisible force, forcibly merging together to instantly give rise to a fierce-looking Gu. This new Gu, much smaller than the previous two, was dark red all over, clearly no ordinary creature.

Just as Ye Chen was on high alert, the dark red ferocious Gu suddenly attacked him.

Ye Chen immediately struck out with his knife, causing the dark red ferocious Gu to explode in mid-air, scattering its flesh and blood. However, Ye Chen's expression drastically changed, as a few drops of the Gu's tainted blood clung to his body.

The flesh crawled and transformed into an almost invisible Gu that instantaneously disappeared into Ye Chen's flesh, merging into his body!
