Shi Sen lay on the ground, his body convulsing, covered in blood, his mind a blank space, his entire being in a semi-comatose state.
Gu Chen showed no mercy, having decided to take action, there was no holding back.
Bang!
With another palm strike, the bones within Shi Sen's body immediately cracked, breaking several ribs, as he let out an involuntary scream of agony.
In fact, Shi Sen wasn't as weak as imagined, being able to cultivate fifteen thousand jin of strength at the Vajra Stage, essentially signifying a steady entry into the third level of the realm of "Body Like a Savage Dragon."
The reason Shi Sen was no match for Gu Chen was mainly because Gu Chen's strength exceeded Shi Sen's by a notch, and every strike that Gu Chen delivered was infused with the true essence of the Great Vajra Fist—forceful, profound, fierce, and violent, naturally more than Shi Sen could bear.
"Gu Chen, stop!" Xue Jun couldn't bear to watch any longer and shouted authoritatively, as continued strikes from Gu Chen's palms would surely cost Shi Sen his life.
Gu Chen glanced at Xue Jun and said indifferently, "So I should stop because you say so? Who do you think you are?"
Bang!
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Gu Chen raised his hand and struck again. At this moment, nearly half of the bones in Shi Sen's body were broken, and this was without Gu Chen even using internal energy.
After all, they had agreed to a civil dispute, and if Gu Chen were to use his internal energy, Shi Sen wouldn't be able to take even one move and would have already turned into a bloody mess.
"Gu Chen!"
Seeing that Gu Chen had no intention of giving face, Xue Jun could no longer sit still; he stood up with a start and glared furiously at Gu Chen.
"So, you also want to come up for a bout?" Gu Chen glanced at him unenthusiastically.
Immediately, Xue Jun's expression stalled; Gu Chen had just broken into the Vajra Stage, where did he get the confidence to compete with him?
Gu Chen, with his handsome face and sword-like eyebrows, pondered for a moment upon hearing this. Killing or not killing Shi Sen wasn't important; he had already broken most of Shi Sen's bones, requiring at least half a year of recovery.
Thus, Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Very well, then I shall give Miss Autumn Snow the face she asks for."
Subsequently, Gu Chen kicked out, as if kicking a sandbag. Shi Sen let out a muffled groan and was sent flying sideways. Xue Jun's expression changed, and he hurriedly reached out to catch him.
"Get lost," Gu Chen said impassively.
Xue Jun's face darkened and he said, "Gu Chen, we'll meet at the Yao Platform gathering!"
After dropping those words, Xue Jun turned and led the Sunset Sword Sect away from the place.
Having been humiliated to this extent, he had no face left to continue staying there.
Gu Chen remained calm, took Xue Jun's place, and sat closest to the courtesan Autumn Snow.
Luo Feng also sat next to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen looked at the courtesan. Up close, Autumn Snow's profile was exceedingly beautiful with fair and smooth skin.
As Gu Chen's gaze fell upon her, the courtesan gave a shy smile and said, "I will play a tune for Young Master Gu."
"Good," Gu Chen nodded.
Soon after, the melodious sound of the zither filled the air once again, flowing like a clear spring, pitter-pattering and extremely pleasant to the ear, making Gu Chen feel at ease.
At that moment, Luo Feng leaned close to Gu's ear and briefed him about the rest of the Pavilion of Flowers' nocturnal feast.
It turned out that this was only the beginning. Later on, the ten lead courtesans of Pavilion of Flowers would take to the lake in floral boats, and they, as the courtesans' protectors, were responsible for guarding them.
Because there might be altercations during the boat ride, the courtesans of Pavilion of Flowers were competitors, and their admirers were free to take action; it was also an opportunity to suppress their rivals.
