Chapter: 2908
Charlie Wade spoke calmly, “Get out of the car first, Mai Chengxing. Xuan Fengnian is right behind you, and he’ll be here soon. If you follow my instructions, I can keep you safe.”
Mai Chengxing gritted his teeth and nodded. He didn’t trust Charlie, but he had no other option. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the taxi.
Just then, Xuan Fengnian drove his Volkswagen quickly up the mountain. When he saw Mai Chengxing get out of the taxi, he hit the gas and rammed into the back of Charlie’s car.
With a loud crash, Charlie’s taxi was pushed a few meters forward. He waited for the car to settle and then got out, pretending to be furious. He shouted at the Volkswagen, “Are you insane? Why would you only hit my car here?!”
The door of the Volkswagen swung open, and a man with a dark expression stepped out. He looked at Charlie and sneered, “Calm down, young man!”
Charlie retorted angrily, “You hit me and expect me to stay calm?”
Xuan Fengnian smirked and said, “When someone gets angry, their mind gets clouded. An angry mind is like tasteless meat—nothing good!”
Charlie shouted, “What’s wrong with you? Are you crazy?”
Xuan Fengnian laughed, “Today, you’re lucky to be in my hands. I’ll let you experience the sensation of having your mind drained completely!”
He then pulled out a large, fat white gu worm from his pocket, saying affectionately, “My dear, you can have this appetizer first. After you enjoy this, I’ll let you feast on that old man later!”
At this moment, Mai Chengxing shouted sternly, “Xuan Fengnian! What do you want to do?”
Xuan Fengnian looked at Mai Chengxing with a cold stare. “Of course I’m going to kill you!” he said. “But if you tell me the clues you found, I’ll make it quick and let my Gu worm eat your brain afterward.”
He continued, “If you don’t cooperate, I will let it slowly clean out your skull, and you’ll feel every bit of it! Trust me, you’ll wish for death. Just look at how that kid died!”
At that moment, Charlie Wade smirked and replied disdainfully, “Seriously? You think your gross worm can scare me? Did you drink too much last night? How many drinks did you have?”
Xuan Fengnian laughed, looking down on Charlie. “You’re so ignorant. My Gu worm has killed countless people, including many so-called martial arts masters. They were all helpless against it. What chance do you think you have? You’ll regret your ignorance soon!”
Charlie scoffed, “You’re just an old man bragging to me. I didn’t play with silkworms when I was a kid, but isn’t your worm just a bit bigger than one? What’s so impressive about that?”
“How dare you!” Xuan Fengnian shouted angrily. “You compare my powerful worm to a silkworm? I’ll kill you for that!”
With that, he waved his hand and commanded the Gu worm, “Go!”
The Gu worm curled into a bow shape and suddenly sprang from his palm.
His whole body sprang into the air and headed straight for Charlie Wade’s Heavenly Spirit Cover. Charlie could see that the gu worm was approaching fast, its mouth full of sharp black teeth. Those teeth looked even sharper than a stainless steel blade. He knew for sure that this creature could easily tear a big hole in a person’s Heavenly Spirit Cover with one bite!
