172: Chapter 171: I’ve Taken a Shine to His Fiancée!
Two burly men exchanged glances, then split to approach Li Chen from the left and right, encircling him.
“Kid, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll kowtow and beg for mercy immediately, or else…”
As he reached this point, a martial artist called Zhao Yong revealed a sharp and ruthless glint in his eyes, making a cracking sound with his knuckles and neck on purpose.
Li Chen sneered coldly, unimpressed, “Just two martial artists with Inner Strength Small Achievement, and yet you dare to make a scene in front of me, who gave you such great confidence?”
Zhao Yong and Wang Zhong, upon hearing Li Chen reveal their strength, couldn’t help feeling startled.
“Brat, you’re courting death!”
Before the word “death” was fully out of his mouth, Zhao Yong swung his iron fist, as large as a sandpot, towards Li Chen’s face.
The punch broke through the air with thundering force.
Not to mention a person, even a fully grown wild bull could be blasted dead on the spot.
Yet Li Chen just stood there calmly, offering no resistance, dodging not at all, not even deigning to give him a proper look.
At this moment, everyone’s focus was on Li Chen.
Zhao Chen danced excitedly with his hands and feet, “Zhao Yong, hit him hard, beat him to death!”
The lady’s eyes also flashed with ruthlessness.
Humph, with such mediocre skills, he dares to cause a ruckus at our Zhao Family’s doorstep?
He truly doesn’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is.
Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Zhao Yuqing, and she cursed resentfully: A child born of a mother but raised by no one, thinking that, with some random man as your backer, you can defecate and urinate over our heads, dreaming?
Zhao Yikuan had only two children, one born to her was Zhao Chen, and the other was Zhao Yuqing.
Only by completely ostracizing Zhao Yuqing from the Zhao Family could she and her son sleep without worries and inherit all of the Zhao Family’s estate.
At this moment, Zhao Yuqing was clenching her little fists tightly, her beautiful big eyes unblinkingly watching Li Chen, filled with worry.
She now deeply regretted bringing Li Chen back home, otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered this unwarranted disaster.
Zhao Yong’s heavy fist landed on Li Chen’s Tianling (top of the skull).
The powerful force of the punch made the air buzz.
However, contrary to expectations, Li Chen was not knocked down, nor did he even sway slightly.
Zhao Yong’s face was full of shock; his punch felt as though it had hit cotton, soft and with no resistance, leaving his arm sore and uncomfortably achy.
Li Chen gave him a cold smile and asked breezily, “Did you not eat, to have such little strength?”
Zhao Yong was startled.
He took a deep breath, his belly heaving like an angry toad.
He gritted his teeth and threw another punch at Li Chen, this time aiming for the Sun Temple.
This is one of the vital points of a human, even a slight force could make a strong man faint.
But his punch was like thunder falling, more than twice as powerful as before, like the shell from an Italian cannon.
The previous punch had been meant as a lesson to Li Chen.
But now, filled with anger, Zhao Yong had the intent to kill.
Again, a heavy muffled sound!
This time, Li Chen still didn’t dodge, but his body swayed a bit more than before.
“I already let you exert your strength.
Why won’t you listen?
How about this—I’ll show you how to throw a punch with force?”
Before the trailing note of his sentence fell, Li Chen suddenly clenched his fist and brutally hurled a punch at Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong screamed in agony, his body soaring straight into the Nine Heavens Cloud like a launched rocket.
Li Chen looked up towards the sky, then back at his own fist, wearing an apologetic smile, “Really sorry, my strength was just a tad too much!”
The place went completely silent, as quiet as the breath of death.
Seeing that nobody was speaking up, Li Chen took the initiative to break the silence, turning his gaze to another martial artist, Wang Zhong.
“Now it’s your turn!”
Having seen what happened to Zhao Yong, where would Wang Zhong dare to show off?
Trembling with fear, he instinctively took a step back and cast a pleading look at his master.
Zhao Yikuan too was startled.
He never expected that his daughter, whom he had never paid much attention to, would bring home such a formidable boyfriend.
Zhao Yong is an Inner Strength Master, and yet his punch, mustering all his strength, couldn’t even breach the defenses of this young man.
Clearly, he’s undeniably an expert with Inner Strength Mastery.
Looking at him, not even in his twenties and already achieving Great Success in Inner Strength, his future prospects are boundless.
He seems well-matched with his own daughter.
Regrettably, his competitor is Wui Shaotian, the once-in-fifty-year genius of the Miao Territory and the Young Master of Witch Family.
Not even thirty years old, he already stands at the Half-step Innate level.
He’s only a step away from breaking through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Comparing the two, there’s still a long way to go!
Zhao Yikuan looked at Li Chen and said coldly, “Young man, Yuqing already has a fiancé.
You must know that, right?”
Li Chen nodded nonchalantly, “I didn’t know before, but now I do.”
“Since you’re aware, why don’t you leave Yuqing alone?”
Li Chen shrugged, “Why should I leave?
It’s just an engagement, not marriage.
Besides, even if it were marriage, it can still be dissolved.
As long as you swing the hoe well, no wall is impossible to dig under!”
Hearing Li Chen’s “vulgar” words, even the usually reserved Zhao Yuqing couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.
Zhao Yikuan, however, turned livid with rage, his eyes blazing with fury as if he wanted to incinerate Li Chen, this ignorant and brash youth, to ashes.
Zhao Chen sneered with disdain, “Heh, do you even know who my future brother-in-law is?
I fear telling you might scare you to death.
He is the genius of the Miao Territory, Young Master Wui Shaotian.
Not yet thirty, and already a Half-step Innate expert.
Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant.
And yet, you still think about digging under his corner?
Li Chen rubbed his nose and retorted, “So, is being a Half-step Innate expert something impressive?”
Hearing this question from Li Chen, Zhao Yikuan and the rest almost choked with indignation.
“Kid, you must be pretending to be foolish, aren’t you?
You’re a martial artist, how could you not know how terrifying a Half-step Innate existence is?
That’s the strongest under a Grandmaster!”
Li Chen feigned sudden realization, “Oh, the strongest under a Grandmaster, so that means he’s not as tough as a Grandmaster, right?”
Zhao Yikuan was speechless.
A Grandmaster is like a divine dragon in the heavens, holding sway over a region wherever they are.
“Of course not, but Young Master Wui is only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm, within reach!”
Li Chen smiled faintly, “If that so-called Young Master of Miao Territory isn’t as good as a Grandmaster, then why is he acting all high and mighty?”
“Tell him this for me, just say that I’m into his fiancée.
Oh no, I mean I’m into her.
If he has an issue with that, he can come find me anytime.
I’ll be more than willing to accompany him to the end!”
Having said that, he paid no further attention to Zhao Yikuan and the others, grabbing the still dumbfounded Zhao Yuqing by the hand, and striding towards the exit.
At this moment, Zhao Yuqing’s face blushed, her ears burning hot, and her heart pounding wildly.
