"Who is he?" Qin Xingchen stared at Bai Qianqian, his voice cold.
"He is my Tao companion," Bai Qianqian explained.
"What?" Qin Xingchen roared. "But you are my fiancée!"
Bai Qianqian snorted coldly. "Our families haven’t finalized the marriage arrangent. I have nothing to do with you. Besides, I already have a Tao companion, so it’s even more impossible for to marry you. You should just give up."
Hearing this, Qin Xingchen’s face turned incredibly ugly. He said, "Qian Qian, you must have been bewitched. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this punk."
He fixed his gaze on Lin Xuan and said, "Kid, get away from Qian Qian."
Standing to the side, Lin Xuan finally understood. So this is the arrogant young master Bai Qianqian is supposed to marry! No wonder he’s so brazen.
At this thought, a smile touched Lin Xuan’s lips. He walked over to Bai Qianqian, took her hand, and said, "Leave? Why should I leave? Not only will I stay by Qian Qian’s side, I’m going to marry her. What can you do about it?"
As Lin Xuan took her hand, Bai Qianqian’s face flushed, making her appear even more shy and lovely. Qin Xingchen, on the other hand, was overco with fury, his face contorting into a vicious snarl. He actually dares to fight for a woman? He’s courting death! Ignorant fool... Die!
He let out a roar and threw a punch. His fist whistled through the air with the unstoppable power of a fierce tiger descending from a mountain.
The onlookers gasped in alarm. "It’s over! This kid completely enraged Young Master Qin."
"He’s dead for sure."
"Young Master Qin is a peak two-star Martial General! With that kind of strength, he could even make it onto the Celestial Ranking at the Heavenly Dao Academy."
"This kid is no match for him."
Everyone looked at Lin Xuan with pity. Only Bai Qianqian remained unconcerned, for she knew how powerful Lin Xuan truly was. Qin Xingchen was no match for him.
And just as she expected, Lin Xuan was completely unfazed by the incoming punch. With a simple sway of his body, he easily dodged the attack and then sent out a palm strike. The slap seed as casual as a father disciplining his son, but the power behind it was shockingly imnse, as if it could sweep across all directions.
BANG!
The palm struck Qin Xingchen’s arm. He was instantly thrown backward, stumbling more than ten steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud. His entire arm went numb, and his face twisted in agony.
"What?"
The crowd was stunned by the scene. They had all assud Lin Xuan would be the one to lose, but he had sent Qin Xingchen flying with a single slap. It was unbelievable. Could this kid be hiding his true strength?
Countless eyes stared at Lin Xuan, trying to see through him. But no matter how they looked, he still appeared to be just a one-star Martial General. How could he possess such might?
Lin Xuan retracted his hand and said nonchalantly, "And you dared to attack with such pathetic strength. How foolish. How laughable." He showed Qin Xingchen no regard whatsoever.
Qin Xingchen was seething. He was always the one who bullied others. For soone to dare look down on him was unforgivable. He scrambled to his feet and roared at the sky, "I was just careless! Let’s go again!"
He bellowed and charged forward, his fists a blur of motion.
"Fierce Tiger Fist!"
This was a powerful, Profound-grade martial art. Once unleashed, it descended with the force of a fierce tiger sweeping across the land. Qin Xingchen was confident that no two-star Martial General could withstand this blow, let alone his opponent. This ti, his enemy would surely be defeated. He would make him kneel before him.
Facing such a ferocious assault, Lin Xuan also clenched his hand into a fist and punched forward, unleashing his World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist.
As he threw the punch, Lin Xuan’s fist seed to transform into a Serpent that could sweep through heaven and earth. At that mont, everyone present trembled, an irrepressible urge to kneel and worship washing over them. They felt as if this single punch could annihilate the world.
"Heavens, what kind of Fist Technique is that?"
"Who in the world is this kid, to be able to execute such a move?!"
For a mont, they were all dumbfounded. Even Qin Xingchen’s expression changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He could only grit his teeth and pour more power into his Fierce Tiger Fist.
In the next instant, their fists collided, like a fierce tiger and a mighty Serpent locked in mortal combat. A fierce tiger, though strong, is still just a beast. But a Serpent? That is a legendary Divine Beast. The two were on completely different levels.
With a deafening boom, Qin Xingchen was sent flying. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he hurtled through the air, painting the sky red before he finally crashed heavily to the ground.
"Too weak to withstand a single blow," Lin Xuan comnted as he retracted his fist.
In truth, he had held back, not even using half of his strength. The World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist was simply too terrifying. If Lin Xuan had gone all out, he could have likely obliterated Qin Xingchen with a single punch. Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid of Qin Xingchen, nor was he afraid of killing him. He was only worried about causing trouble for Bai Qianqian, which was why he had restrained his power.
The entire crowd was shocked into silence, utterly terrified. No one had expected Lin Xuan to be this strong, defeating Qin Xingchen with just one punch.
"How is this possible? How could this be happening?" Qin Xingchen’s face was pale and his body was stained with blood. He couldn’t accept it. I actually lost? Defeated by a one-star Martial General? The blow to his pride was imnse.
He lifted his head and asked, his voice filled with unwillingness, "Who are you? Who exactly are you?"
Lin Xuan replied, "You’re a defeated foe. You’re not worthy of knowing my na."
At that mont, Lin Xuan stood tall and lofty, a figure to be looked up to in awe. The crowd was profoundly shaken. Arrogant. He’s so unbelievably arrogant. Why does this guy seem even more arrogant than Qin Xingchen?
He’s so powerful, Bai Qianqian thought, equally stunned. Although she had heard that Lin Xuan was the king of the newcors and first on the Celestial Ranking, this was the first ti she had seen him fight. It was truly incredible. That punch just now felt like a fatal threat even to . What kind of Fist Technique was that?
Lin Xuan didn’t answer her unspoken question. Instead, he winked and asked softly, "So, how was it? My performance wasn’t too bad, right? That Young Master Qin shouldn’t dare to pursue you again. If he ever tries to bother you in the future, just ntion my na. I guarantee he’ll be scared enough to flee in a panic."
Hearing this, Bai Qianqian covered her mouth and giggled, lightly tapping Lin Xuan’s shoulder with her small, delicate fist. "Thank you."
She was also very happy. It seed the problem was finally resolved; Qin Xingchen would no longer pester her about marriage. With this thought, her mood lifted considerably. She pulled Lin Xuan over to a new chair, and they sat down again.
Qin Xingchen struggled up from the ground, his expression hideous. Humiliating. This was utterly humiliating. He had no face left to stay here. Gritting his teeth, he turned to leave.
Just then, a lazy voice called out from behind him, "Young Master Qin, leaving so soon? The banquet hasn’t even started."
Upon hearing this voice, the young masters and noble sons in attendance practically lted. Qin Xingchen also froze, his heart stirring. However, having been defeated by a one-star Martial General was so disgraceful that he truly couldn’t bring himself to stay.
He said coldly, "There’s no need. I have so family matters to attend to, so I’ll be heading back first."
"Young Master Qin, please wait. At the upcoming banquet, I will be presenting an ancient Pill Recipe. Is Young Master Qin not interested?"
At these words, Qin Xingchen stopped dead in his tracks. He whipped around and exclaid, "An ancient Pill Recipe? Are you certain?"
The others in the crowd broke into an uproar. Lin Xuan was equally shocked. He never expected an ancient Pill Recipe to appear at this banquet.
