Chief Disciple of the Martial Association President. This title alone was enough to prove the formidable nature of Liu Ruyan, the icy beauty.
In the end, however, the Martial Association had lost several people, including a Nine-Bag Elder. This could only an that Feiyang Martial Arts School had a powerful backer, who was very likely that mysterious big shot. His strength was truly not to be underestimated, yet Liu Ruyan had apparently dealt with him. This was the speculation that all the onlookers made based on the current situation, and they felt it was more or less correct.
"Liu Ruyan is mighty!"
"Miss Liu, you're my idol!"
So of the n infatuated with Liu Ruyan's stunning beauty began to shout aloud.
However, Liu Ruyan's already dark expression beca even more unsightly. She clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with unwillingness and resentnt.
A bunch of fools, what are they blathering about? I should have killed them all from the start! They don't understand the situation at all, and yet they're making a scene. Aren't they just praising to death and putting in an impossible position? A bunch of trash! Vermin!
Of course, the one she resented most was Chen Yang. She, the proud Liu Ruyan, had been suppressed by a man for the first ti, unable to even raise her head. This humiliation was so intense it felt like it would tear her Divine Spirit apart.
"Damn bastard, still thinking about wiping out the Martial Association? You're simply overestimating yourself!" Liu Ruyan sneered. "Once I get this news out, you won't even have to make a move. You, this so-called hero, will be knocked off your pedestal! Perhaps you'll be branded a traitor who colludes with Barbarians, selling out his country for personal glory? And all the while, the Martial Association will continue to stand tall and even accelerate its expansion, offering enormous wealth to those people every month!"
Just the thought of it made the corners of Liu Ruyan's mouth turn up in a scornful sneer. "You have only yourself to bla for not killing when you had the chance! And to think you made ring the bell... simply childish!"
Her current appearance was, naturally, witnessed by the onlookers.
"Did you see her expression? I bet she's going to execute Li Zhendong publicly," one person whispered.
"That must be it! Everyone, get your phones ready. We have to capture this mont."
As they spoke, everyone took out their phones and aid them at the main entrance. The spectacle about to unfold was sure to be thrilling, and no one wanted to miss it.
Upon reaching the main entrance, Li Zhendong smiled and said, "Miss Liu, would you say a few words?"
Liu Ruyan whipped her head around, her cold gaze piercing Li Zhendong, her eyes bursting with murderous intent.
Li Zhendong ignored it and continued, "Lord Chen is waiting upstairs. I don't think he'd like to wait too long."
"HMPH!" Liu Ruyan scoffed. "Don't be so arrogant. Your little martial arts school will cease to exist before long!"
"That's a matter for the future," Li Zhendong smiled. "Besides, who can say for certain what tomorrow will bring? Miss Liu, please, say a few words."
Liu Ruyan turned her head irritably. Facing the crowd, she stated emotionlessly, "On the joyous occasion of Feiyang Martial Arts School's grand opening, let us offer our congratulations!"
...
Everyone was suddenly dumbfounded, frozen like statues. Although it was just a short sentence, it was laden with a shocking amount of information. They had thought that Liu Ruyan was going to publicly execute Li Zhendong, but instead... the Chief Disciple of the Martial Association President was actually delivering a congratulatory ssage to Feiyang Martial Arts School?
What in the world was going on?
Under the crowd's astonished gazes, Liu Ruyan took the bell hamr from Li Zhendong's hand and struck it hard against the nearby hanging bell.
GONG!!
The sound of the bell was resonant, its rolling waves echoing for a long ti. The surrounding onlookers, however, had beco stupefied, standing there dumbstruck with wide eyes full of disbelief. So Liu Ruyan had co down just to ring the bell for the Feiyang Martial Arts School's opening?
"Miss Liu, as the Chief Disciple of the Martial Association President, has co all the way from Cangyun City to ring the bell for the opening of my Feiyang Martial Arts School! I, Li Zhendong, am imnsely grateful and feel extrely honored!"
Li Zhendong took the opportunity to speak, a wide smile on his face. He then stepped to the side to stand shoulder to shoulder with Liu Ruyan, posing for the caras. The onlookers certainly wouldn't pass up this opportunity. The sound of cara shutters filled the air.
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
No one could have anticipated this reversal!
Liu Ruyan's face was as dark as still water as she called out to the upper floor, "May I leave now?"
「Second Floor.」
"Boss, you aren't really going to let this woman go, are you?" Yang Hu asked with a puzzled look, sitting at the coffee table.
Chen Yang smiled. "Just because she's pretty, I should let her go?"
"Liu Ruyan just said that if you want, she's willing to offer herself to you," Yang Hu said with a smirk.
"Is this the first day you've known ?"
Chen Yang's words sent a shiver down Yang Hu's spine. Then, Chen Yang put down his teacup and gently rubbed two fingers together.
SNAP!
With the soft sound, a streak of purple-gold light rippled from between his fingers.
「Downstairs.」
With Liu Ruyan's question, the crowd realized she was seeking permission from the mysterious big shot upstairs. In other words, everyone from the Martial Association's group who had arrived earlier, with the exception of Liu Ruyan, was likely dead. It went without saying that the big shot upstairs was freakishly strong!
Seeing no response from above, Liu Ruyan's eyes glinted with a ferocious light. She decided not to wait any longer and left imdiately. She had already lost enough face today; staying even a second longer felt like a cri. Li Zhendong didn't speak, nor did he try to stop her. Liu Ruyan's fate was for Chen Yang to decide.
However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Ruyan, who had just descended the steps, was suddenly enveloped by a swath of purple-gold light. The light flashed and then vanished. Imdiately after, Liu Ruyan's entire body began to eerily dissolve, starting with her arms and then swiftly spreading to the rest of her body.
"Ten Thousand Phenona Senluo!" Liu Ruyan shrieked in terror, as if she had just witnessed the most horrifying thing in the world. Her eyes were filled with nothing but extre shock and fear.
"No, no, please, no!!"
Liu Ruyan scrambled back frantically, as if to plead with Chen Yang on the second floor. But she had barely stepped onto the second stair when her whole body completely disintegrated. A gust of cold wind blew past, and she vanished without a trace.
"This..."
Suddenly, everyone was petrified, staring incredulously at the scene. Each and every one of them felt an icy chill seep into their bones, as if they were locked in a cellar made of ancient ice. That was a living person who had just lted away like snow under a scorching sun, vanishing without a trace. If it hadn't been captured on their phones, who could believe, who would dare to believe, what they had just seen with their own eyes?
This... this was too horrifying!!
GASP!
For a mont, a wave of sharp gasps spread through the vast, open area.
Li Zhendong also took a couple of deep breaths to settle the turbulent thoughts in his heart. Once he had composed himself, he took a step forward and loudly began to announce the advantages of his school. "The tuition fees at Feiyang Martial Arts School are less than half of the Martial Association's, and here, everyone can learn real skills..."
「On the second floor.」
Yang Hu reported, "Boss, the Krait, ranked first on the Blood Drop List, has arrived in Lingjin City! He seems to be coming for you."
