Qin Chuan led Xiao Mengyi by the hand and brazenly walked away, leaving everyone stunned.
Chen Baiqiang’s face darkened to the extreme; Qin Chuan had voluntarily given up the protection of the Black Dragon Commerce Association and dared him to come at him with whatever he had—it was an outright provocation.
Ye Qingwan merely looked at Chen Baiqiang with contempt, seemingly not worried at all that the Chen Family would lay a hand on Qin Chuan.
"You’re seeking death!"
Just as Qin Chuan was about to lead Xiao Mengyi out of the banquet hall, Chen Baiqiang finally exploded, bellowing, "Break his limbs for me!"
As his words fell, a Dark Energy Initial Stage Martialist had already charged toward Qin Chuan.
Xiao Mengyi’s heart was filled with panic; although she knew Qin Chuan was extraordinary, these were the Chen Family’s Martialists. Could Qin Chuan handle them?
"Haha, good! Kill this beast!"
Xiao Qing stared intently at Qin Chuan, her face filled with excitement.
Previously, at the Jiangcheng City Song Family, Qin Chuan had publicly given her a harsh slap, and today he had ruined the engagement between the Xiao Family and the Chen Family. Now, all she wanted was to see Qin Chuan dead and without a place to be buried.
"This guy is really a fool; without the protection of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, he’s merely an ant."
"Quite foolish indeed. Ruining the Chen Family’s engagement party and wanting to take away Second Young Master Chen’s fiancée? He must be dreaming!"
"Just an ant living at the bottom of society, completely unaware of the strength of Martialists. I bet he won’t live through the night!"
...
Each guest had indifferent expressions as they watched Qin Chuan, in their eyes, he was already dead.
"Boy, take my punch!"
At that moment, the Dark Energy Initial Stage Martialist had already reached behind Qin Chuan, slamming his palm viciously towards Qin Chuan’s back.
If it weren’t for Chen Baiqiang’s order to first cripple Qin Chuan’s limbs, his palm would have struck Qin Chuan’s head, ending his life with a single blow!
Just when everyone thought Qin Chuan would be sent flying by the Chen Family Martialist’s palm, Qin Chuan suddenly turned around, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
The instant the Chen Family Martialist’s eyes met Qin Chuan’s, a bone-chilling coldness rose from the soles of his feet.
He suddenly had the illusion that he wasn’t facing a human, but a demon from hell.
"Scram!"
A roar erupted from Qin Chuan’s throat.
"Pu!"
The Chen Family Martialist, as if struck by a substantial blow, flew backward more than ten meters, spitting out blood as he heavily fell to the ground the moment he landed.
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"Retreated a Dark Energy Initial Stage Martialist with a single word?"
...
All the guests abruptly stood up, their faces filled with shock.
The Chen Family Martialist, repelled by a single word from Qin Chuan, laid there like a soul extinguished, his eyes vacant as he stared at the ceiling.
Xiao Mengyi, whose hand was held by Qin Chuan, looked at his sharply contoured side face in a daze, her heart pounding wildly. How could he be so strong?
Only Ye Qingwan and Granny Wu kept calm expressions, apparently not surprised at all.
He Jinzhou, who had been somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Qingwan’s insistence on protecting Qin Chuan, now stared wide-eyed.
Even he couldn’t do something like that, could he?
An Energizing Skill Grandmaster could kill people up close with their breath, but they also couldn’t send a Dark Energy Initial Stage Martialist flying ten meters away with a single word.
Chen Baiqiang was dumbfounded!
Chen Wang was dumbfounded too!
Even Lei Ting, the fifth disciple of the Sovereign Master, was dumbfounded!
At that moment, Qin Chuan looked coldly toward Chen Baiqiang and said, "Is this the strength of a Chen Family Martialist? Trash!"
"Little beast, you are courting death!"
Chen Baiqiang glared at Qin Chuan with fury, his face twisted in rage as he said, "I will make your life worse than death!"
His murderous intent towards Qin Chuan had reached its peak.
In his eyes, Qin Chuan was nothing but an ant protected by Ye Qingwan, but it was this ant who had brought such great shame to the Chen Family.
The intent to kill flickered in Qin Chuan’s eyes. If he wasn’t worried that causing too much noise might attract the attention of Kunlun Divine Prison, he would be able to annihilate the Chen Family right now.
"Shen Tulie!"
Chen Baiqiang suddenly roared.
Under the shocked gaze of all present, an elderly man dressed in white walked out from behind Chen Baiqiang.
Chen Baiqiang, through gritted teeth, said, "Leave him alive, I want him to suffer a fate worse than death!"
Shen Tulie didn’t say a word, but simply walked towards Qin Chuan.
"President!"
He Jinzhou was full of apprehension when he saw Shen Tulie step forward, and said to Ye Qingwan, "Should we take action?"
Ye Qingwan spoke indifferently, "Mr. Qin said, there’s no need for us to make a move."
He Jinzhou immediately became anxious, "Shen Tulie is an Energizing Skill Middle Stage Realm expert. If we don’t take action, Mr. Qin is doomed!"
Originally Ye Qingwan was reluctant to protect Qin Chuan to the death, but after seeing that Qin Chuan could incapacitate a Dark Energy Initial Stage Realm martial artist with a single word, he had changed his mind.
Such a young talent, if he could join the Black Dragon Commerce Association, it would be a great fortune for them. Having taken a liking to talent, he naturally did not want to watch Qin Chuan die at the hands of Shen Tulie.
Ye Qingwan, with an emotionless face, said, "You just need to watch."
He Jinzhou wanted to persuade her further, but Ye Qingwan was no longer paying attention to him. He could only give up, his eyes still filled with worry.
"You can scare off a Dark Energy Initial Stage Realm martial artist with a single word, which is enough to prove your extraordinary talent in the Martial Path. Given a few more years, you might be able to step into Energizing Skill by the age of thirty."
Shen Tulie stood about two meters away from Qin Chuan and spoke calmly, "But you should never have provoked the Chen Family for the sake of a woman."
As these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
You must know, in all of Shen Zhou, there was only one Sovereign Master who entered the Energizing Skill before the age of thirty.
And yet, Shen Tulie said that Qin Chuan had a chance to become an Energizing Skill Grandmaster before thirty.
After hearing his words, Ye Qingwan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She was suddenly looking forward to it very much.
She couldn’t wait to see the expression on Shen Tulie’s face when he made a move, only to find that he was far from being Qin Chuan’s match.
Granny Wu just sneered, "This is truly something to look forward to."
Qin Chuan’s expression did not change, and he looked at Shen Tulie just as calmly, saying, "If you’re done talking, then make your move."
Shen Tulie’s eyebrows raised slightly, but he spoke in an undisturbed tone, "Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige you."
Suddenly, a formidable aura burst forth from Shen Tulie.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Under the terrified gaze of the audience, all the glass objects shattered one after another.
When a Grandmaster is enraged, the terror is frightening indeed!
However, Qin Chuan, who was bearing the brunt of Shen Tulie’s most powerful pressure, stood firm in his spot, his face as calm as ever, one hand still tightly holding onto Xiao Mengyi.
Seeing Qin Chuan’s reaction, Shen Tulie’s pupils contracted. How was this possible?
Even a Dark Energy Peak Realm martial artist wouldn’t be able to withstand his aura at such close range, let alone resist it, right?
Why could Qin Chuan stand so steadily?
That was not the main point. The main point was that Xiao Mengyi, whom Qin Chuan was holding, aside from looking a bit pale, showed no other reaction.
"Boy, go to hell!"
A flicker of unease suddenly crossed Shen Tulie’s heart. With a loud shout, he charged towards Qin Chuan.
