Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

Su Qing smiled faintly and raised an eyebrow. ”What’s wrong? Weren’t you going to show me something shocking? Where is it?”

As she spoke, Su Qing glanced at Su Mei. ”It doesn’t look like anything’s changed. Where’s this shock you promised?”

Master Wen couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He was certain Su Qing had done something. Otherwise, there was no way he’d be unable to communicate with the Mother Gu in his body. He had been nurturing this Mother Gu inside him for years, and they had long since developed a deep spiritual connection. A single thought from him was all it took for the Mother Gu to follow his command and control the Child Gu accordingly.

But what on earth had this damn girl done? He could still feel the Mother Gu’s presence, yet he could no longer command it.

Su Qing watched Master Wen’s furious expression and sneered.

Back at her home near Beijing University, she knew something was wrong when the Gu Worms appeared in the body of the man sent to protect Li Huan. Then, Li Fenghuo’s phone call was abruptly disconnected. She knew then that the people after her had started targeting her family.

The person trying to deal with her was no ordinary individual. Their methods were impressive. No matter how tight the security Mr. Li and Li Fenghuo arranged, her enemy could always use Gu Worms to create an opening.

At the time, Su Qing wasn’t sure how many of her relatives had been targeted. Besides her family, other related people had also been caught up in this disaster. Su Qing didn’t have time to investigate them one by one. So, the most direct method was to destroy the source.

As long as she cut off the source, it didn’t matter how many people her enemy had infected with Gu Worms. They would no longer be a threat. That was why Su Qing had come straight here.

Su Qing now possessed a Sixth Rank Wood Ability. After such a long time getting used to it, she could wield her superpower with great ease. For instance, the new gray liquid from the Bagua Pool in her palm could be mixed with the previous gray mist, allowing her to strike with precision according to her will.

Just like with the Mother Gu in Master Wen’s body. The moment she met Master Wen, she had sensed its presence. During their fight, she had taken advantage of his distraction to send the gray liquid and gray mist into his body, successfully knocking the Mother Gu unconscious.

And so, although Master Wen could feel the Mother Gu’s presence, he couldn’t command it. After all, how could a deeply unconscious Mother Gu possibly be commanded?

Master Wen couldn’t command the Mother Gu, but he refused to accept it. He tried to command it again, but there was still no response.

Instantly, a flicker of panic entered Master Wen’s heart. He gritted his teeth and demanded, ”What did you do?”

”Where’s that shock you promised? I’m still waiting,” Su Qing said with a placid smile.

Master Wen took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Su Qing. His mind was already racing, trying to figure out how to get out of here.

’I’m no match for this little brat!’

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Master Wen had to face reality. The only thing to do now was leave.

Once he was out of here, he swore he would never come after this damn girl again. But he also swore he would make all her relatives die horrible deaths. If he couldn’t kill her, he would make her live a life of pain and regret.

At this point, Master Wen even regretted not doing so earlier. Why did he have to confront this damn girl head-on?

”My skills are inferior. I admit defeat.”

Master Wen took a deep breath and, without any warning, flung out several talismans. Instantly, great clouds of smoke billowed through the main hall and courtyard. Taking advantage of the fog, Master Wen shot toward the courtyard gate. Halfway there, he didn’t forget to grab a few people and hurl them in Su Qing’s direction.

”AH!”

”AH!”

Amidst several miserable screams, Master Wen leaped into the air, preparing to vault over the courtyard wall and make a quick escape.

”Master, you... How could you...” Brother Liu stared, stunned, as Master Wen tried to flee. He’d spent five million! Not only had he spent five million, but he had also risked sending people to track down those connected to the Li family. He had even hurt people for this.

If everything had gone smoothly with Master Wen, he wouldn’t have had to worry; Master Wen would have taken care of it all. But now, it was obvious Master Wen was no match for Su Qing. This meant not only would he fail to get his revenge, but he’d also be out five million for nothing. Most importantly, he had offended someone he absolutely could not afford to offend!

’And now, the master he had paid a fortune to hire was trying to make a run for it alone?’

But before Brother Liu could finish, Master Wen let out a bloodcurdling scream and suddenly fell from mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

”You wretched girl, you...” Master Wen clutched his chest and looked toward the main hall. He couldn’t believe it. From so far away, that damn girl could control plants with her mind.

’What a terrifying ability!’

A chill ran down Master Wen’s spine. He knew he probably wasn’t getting away. Just now, in mid-air, he had watched in horror as the surrounding tree branches, weeds, and even flowers all attacked him. The assault was overwhelming, leaving him nowhere to hide.

”Run. Go on, keep running!” Su Qing said with a smile as she sat down in a chair, calmly watching Master Wen, who now lay collapsed in the courtyard.

Master Wen gritted his teeth, clutching his chest in silence.

Su Qing stood up and walked out of the main hall.

By now, the smoke in the courtyard had thinned. Seeing Su Qing enter the courtyard, Brother Liu and his men shivered and scrambled back several steps, wishing they could shrink into a ball. They could only pray that Su Qing wouldn’t notice them.

”Su Qing, you... you have to save me.” Su Mei was already at the end of her rope. She had been dragged roughly from the side room by Brother Liu’s men. When Master Wen had tried to escape, she was one of the people he had thrown. The impact of hitting the ground made Su Mei feel her life force rapidly draining away.

Su Mei didn’t want to die. She was terrified. Trembling, she reached out to Su Qing. ”I... I’m your cousin. Please save me, okay? I’m... I’m not going to make it. It hurts so much.”

Su Mei realized that her cousin was no simple girl. She had special abilities. The old man who used worms to suck her blood was no ordinary person either; he was formidable. Otherwise, Brother Liu wouldn’t have been so subservient to him. And yet, that old man couldn’t even beat Su Qing!

’Just how powerful was Su Qing?’

Su Mei looked at Su Qing with hope in her eyes. She wanted to live; she didn’t want to die. But her chest hurt so badly. She even felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Watching Su Mei, Su Qing couldn’t help but press her lips together. She could feel Su Mei’s life force draining away rapidly. That throw from Master Wen had essentially extinguished Su Mei’s chances of survival.

Su Mei wasn’t going to make it.
