Su Chen's step forward made everyone's heart involuntarily tighten, as if they could sense something was about to happen!
However, Lv Shimo acted as if nothing was happening at all, with even a hint of a triumphant smile curling up the corner of his mouth.
Su Chen naturally noticed Lv Shimo's expression but didn't care and suddenly reached out a large hand, grabbing straight for Lv Shimo's throat without any attempt to hide his movement.
Seeing Su Chen's action, the smile on Lv Shimo's face grew thicker, and he moved slightly, ready to dodge the hand Su Chen had stretched out.
However, a breath later, the smile on Lv Shimo's face was abruptly frozen, his face showing a look of astonishment.
Because he had thought that once he moved, he would definitely be able to dodge the incoming hand.
Yet, to his surprise, as soon as he had stabilized his posture, Su Chen's hand still moved straight for his throat as if it had anticipated his movement, even predicting where he would move to!
With his heart tightening suddenly, Lv Shimo hurriedly flashed away again, this time with even greater speed.
But to his utter astonishment, before his body could stabilize, that familiar large hand yet again appeared in front of him, less than twenty centimeters from his throat!
And that hand, so unremarkably ordinary, stretched forth implacably as if there was no stopping it, but Lv Shimo felt like he had nowhere to flee...
How could this be possible?
Witnessing this scene, Lv Shimo felt as if he'd seen a ghost, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat, his complexion turning pale in an instant...
Just as Lv Shimo was about to dodge again, he found he couldn't move at all.
Because that large hand had already predictably clamped onto his throat!
Though it seemed complicated, the whole episode had taken just a second or two, not even.
When Su Chen's large hand clenched Lv Shimo's neck, everyone couldn't help but gasp!
This young man was too audacious!
He actually dared to treat Lv Shimo this way!
Even some who had attended the previous celebration banquet hosted by Yun Corporation and Belle Corporation, who had witnessed Su Chen beating up Liu Qing, were shocked!
Because in their minds, Lv Shimo and Liu Qing were on completely different levels!
In terms of methods, mindset, or other aspects, Liu Qing was far inferior to Lv Shimo!
And Jiang Ying, standing beside Su Chen, had been scared stiff!
So this guy really dared to do it?!
Her mind was instantly muddled...
"You think you can be fearless just because you've reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement?"
Su Chen's hand on Lv Shimo's neck applied a slight force, his eyes flashing with disdain.
As soon as Su Chen spoke, a flushed Lv Shimo widened his eyes in shock!
He had not expected Su Chen to pinpoint his Cultivation level so effortlessly!
Connecting it with the bizarre encounter earlier, a thought struck him like lightning!
Could it be that he too was a Martial Artist, and one with a higher Realm than himself?
Upon further contemplation, Lv Shimo felt certain of it!
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how he couldn't escape the peculiar situation earlier.
Realizing this, Lv Shimo's heart slowly sank...
When he provoked Su Chen, he knew that Su Chen was daring enough to make a move, considering the precedent of publicly beating Liu Qing.
And Lv Shimo also knew that Su Chen had some skills, after all, Liu Qing's capable Bodyguards had been taken down by him.
But to Lv Shimo, this was insignificant as he was a Martial Artist, and moreover a master of the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement!
Therefore, without any fear, Lv Shimo dismissed Su Chen, thinking what could his fighting skills amount to?
He believed that if it really came to blows, the one to face misfortune and embarrassment would surely be himself!
But he could never have imagined that with just an effortless grab, he would already be unable to resist!
The so-called Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm seemed like a joke in the eyes of the other!
"You provoke me , don't you fear I'll kill you?"
Su Chen slightly squinted his eyes, uttering the words devoid of any emotional tone.
In Su Chen's view, this Lv Shimo was simply courting death to even dare use Lin Ruoxue as a threat against him.
Everyone knows, a dragon has a reverse scale, and touching it means certain death!
And Lin Ruoxue was his, Su Chen's, reverse scale!
As soon as his words fell, everyone was astounded!
This young man actually wanted to kill Young Master Lv? Was he joking?
The crowd couldn't help but turn their gaze to the young man, only to see his expression calm, giving no hint of his thoughts!
But Lv Shimo clearly felt a strong intent to kill emanating from the other person!
He didn't doubt, not for a second, that the next moment, the other party would break his neck without hesitation!
For a martial artist of his caliber, killing someone was just too easy a task...
At this moment, Lv Shimo deeply regretted his previous actions; he had undoubtedly pushed himself towards a path of death!
Indeed, Su Chen's indifferent voice rang out again:
"Since you so desire to accompany your little brother, I'll see you off!"
Su Chen slightly increased the force in his hand, and Lv Shimo's face, which had been red, quickly turned purple.
Su Chen didn't break his neck right away; he wanted the other person to experience the slow approach of death!
Watching this scene, everyone felt their hearts clenching, as if they were about to suffocate!
Yunyao was also in shock; she hadn't expected that Su Chen actually intended to kill Lv Shimo!
And alongside Su Chen, Jiang Ying had already become utterly blank-minded, merely staring dumbfounded at the calm-faced Su Chen...
"Mr. Su, please be merciful!"
Just then, a terrified voice came from the entrance; a middle-aged man rushed over—it was Yun Shiqing, the father of Yunlong and Yunyao.
"What, are you trying to stop me?"
Su Chen glanced at Yun Shiqing, speaking faintly, a sharp chill shooting out from his eyes!
Upon encountering that chilling gaze, Yun Shiqing couldn't help but shiver violently!
What kind of eyes were those?!
That pair of black pupils seemed as if they originated from the deepest depths of the Nine Nether, filled with a sinister, cold aura that sent shivers down one's spine!
Yun Shiqing quickly waved his hands:
"I just have something I wish to say to Mr. Su. After it's said, you can make your decision, how about that?"
Su Chen looked at Yun Shiqing, who had hurried over, and felt a bit curious, wondering what he wanted to say to him.
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing Su Chen's consent, Yun Shiqing quickly walked up to him and whispered something into his ear.
Su Chen turned to look at Yun Shiqing; he hadn't expected Yun Shiqing to inform him of such news.
Yun Shiqing nodded earnestly.
For a moment, Su Chen's brows slightly furrowed, then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile...
