Xu Yanran struck decisively, taking the initiative to counterattack. She managed to block their fierce offensive but was still knocked back several steps, blood trickling from the corners of her mouth.
"Huh?"
Seeing Xu Yanran actually possessed such strength, the two n were astonished. "You’ve got so skill, girl, but you’re still too green to face the two of us!"
"They are both in the Middle Hua Realm. I’m no match for them," Xu Yanran gritted her teeth.
Chen Xiao said indifferently, "Then step back and let handle this."
"You ignorant brat! You have no idea how vast the gap is between you and a Martial Arts Grandmaster. For us, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"
With that, Master Chen threw a punch through the air, the Qi Force shooting straight toward Chen Xiao! An Energy Transformation Grandmaster could release Qi Force externally to attack from a distance. While not as terrifying as direct contact, it was more than sufficient to deal with ordinary people or low-ranked martial artists. Everyone in the private room felt a suffocating pressure wash over them, their bodies trembling. If that punch had hit them, they would have undoubtedly died.
A cold sneer spread across Xiao Chen’s face. He had personally seen Master Chen cripple a peak Inner Strength martial artist—one who had been imrsed in the Martial Dao for many years—with a single punch. What chance did a greenhorn like Chen Xiao have?
However, Chen Xiao simply waved his hand, and the force of the punch vanished into thin air.
Master Chen stared in disbelief. "How is that possible?" I didn’t even use my full strength, but even a typical Energy Transformation Grandmaster wouldn’t dare to take that blow so lightly! How did this guy neutralize it so casually?
"Chen, it seems you underestimated him. A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit. Let handle this!" Master Li declared. With his small stature, he shot up like a spring. Gathering strength in his palms, he fiercely struck out!
Chen Xiao casually countered, sending his own punch through the air.
Without any power to resist, Master Li was sent flying backward, his chest caving in as he collapsed, unconscious.
"What the fuck?!" Xiao Chen cried out.
Master Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Master Li’s strength was nearly identical to his own, yet this kid knocked him unconscious with a single punch from a distance?
The fierce look on Master Chen’s face lted away, replaced by one of humility and appeasent. "Young... young man, there has been a misunderstanding. We just wanted to spar with you!"
"Is that so?" Chen Xiao sneered. "Now, I just want to spar with you, too."
Then, he threw another punch, its force tearing through the air! Master Chen was so frightened he wet his pants. He used all his strength to resist the strike, but it was useless. His body was smashed against the wall like a piece of paper, and he vomited mouthfuls of blood. His face filled with regret and despair. With that single punch, Chen Xiao had brutally destroyed all his ridians and his Dantian, wiping out decades of cultivation!
The room fell terrifyingly silent.
Xu Kang stared at Chen Xiao in utter astonishnt. Who in the world is this young man my sister brought with her? How can he be this terrifying? After all, there are only one or two Energy Transformation Grandmasters in all of Yuncheng City, and they’ve barely crossed the threshold. That level is already enough to dominate the city! And Master Chen and Master Li were both experts in the Middle Hua Realm! Yet Chen Xiao took them down with one punch each, as easily as chopping lons and slicing vegetables?
Xiao Chen’s face had turned pale. This ti, he had truly picked a fight with the wrong person.
Watching Chen Xiao walk toward him with a cold expression, Xiao Chen kept backing away. "Bro, let’s talk this out reasonably..."
Before he could finish, Chen Xiao grabbed him and threw him to Xu Yanran’s feet.
"How you deal with him is up to you."
Xu Yanran sneered as she looked down at the trembling Xiao Chen. "Young Master Xiao, weren’t you awfully arrogant just now? Weren’t you demanding that I lick you?" She ground her foot into Xiao Chen’s groin. "Where do you want to lick, hmm?"
"AH! It hurts! It hurts!" Xiao Chen shrieked as her high heel ground into him.
All the n present felt a chill in their groins and subconsciously clamped their legs shut. They could already imagine the horrifying pain Xiao Chen was enduring.
"Please, my lady, spare !" Xiao Chen begged. "I’m willing to make ands! Just na your terms!"
Xu Kang quickly grabbed Xu Yanran’s arm. "Yanran, the Xiao Family is no ordinary family; we can’t afford to offend them. Maybe we should just let this go? If we make an enemy of them, our Xu Family will suffer too."
Hearing this, Xu Yanran frowned. She hesitated for a mont before kicking Xiao Chen squarely in the groin. "Get lost!"
Clutching himself, Xiao Chen scrambled away in a panic with his lackeys. Deciding discretion was the better part of valor, he focused on escaping before he lost his family jewels for good. But he was seething with rage. He, the esteed young master of the Xiao Family! When had he ever been treated this way? He vowed to settle this score!
Just as he stumbled out, he bumped into a group of young n and won who were briskly walking in.
"Xiao Chen?!" Cheng Lin exclaid, surprised to see him.
"Young Master Cheng?!" A spark of hope ignited in Xiao Chen. The two had attended the sa university in the Capital City, where they had bonded over their shared vices and often hung out. But the mory of his pathetic state made his face burn with embarrassnt, and he quickly forced himself to stand up straight despite the excruciating pain.
"How did you end up like this?" Cheng Lin asked, furrowing his brow. He knew Xiao Chen well. While not so top-tier figure in the Capital City, his family was still a major power in Jiangnan Province. How could he end up in such a sorry state?
"Young Master Xiao, your family is a prominent one in Jiangnan Province. How could you let soone bully you like this and just run away?" Han Xin chid in. She was from the sa social circle as Cheng Lin and also knew Xiao Chen. Seeing him flee with his tail between his legs after being so thoroughly humiliated, her words dripped with disdain.
Xiao Chen’s face flushed with embarrassnt, but he finally gave a brief, indignant account of what had happened.
Cheng Lin’s eyes narrowed as he listened. He clapped Xiao Chen on the shoulder and declared, "Even if you can swallow this insult, brother, I can’t swallow it for you!" Turning to Lu Rugao, he said respectfully, "Miss Lu, this is a good friend of mine. He’s been bullied, so I’m going to go help him teach them a lesson."
Xiao Chen was overco with gratitude. Cheng Lin was, after all, the scion of a prominent family from the Capital City! Surely that would be enough to crush the other party’s arrogance! In a place like the Capital City, teeming with hidden masters, Martial Arts Grandmasters were nothing special to the great clans. So what? As long as his opponent had a brain, they wouldn’t dare to offend them.
Then, Cheng Lin turned back to Lu Rugao and asked respectfully, "Miss Lu, that’s a brother of mine from university. He’s being bullied. Do you mind if I go check on the situation?"
Lu Rugao lightly furrowed her brow. "As you wish."
Miss Lu? Xiao Chen’s jaw dropped. He had a rough idea of Cheng Lin’s status. For him to be so respectful to soone with the surna Lu... it could only be *that* family. The Lu Family, one of the Five Great Families of the Capital City! A super-clan that could make the entire Divine Land tremble with a single stomp of their foot!
"Miss Lu, hello!" Xiao Chen imdiately greeted Lu Rugao like an eager puppy.
Lu Rugao ignored him, instead saying to Cheng Lin indifferently, "Go on, but don’t take too long."
The other youths from the Capital City started clamoring, vowing to make the culprits kowtow, lick their shoes, and crawl between their legs. After all, they had few hobbies beyond humiliating others in various ways to flaunt their own power and status.
With Cheng Lin and the other Capital City youths backing him up, Xiao Chen’s confidence returned. He strode to the front to lead the way. "The guy who hit is in there."
He mustered his courage, returned to the private room, and kicked the door open.
