Chapter 78: Chapter 90: Defeat with One Move! Chapter 78: Chapter 90: Defeat with One Move! Seeing Chen Nan’s move, Lin HaiLong immediately felt an ominous premonition, but before he could clearly see the trajectory of the pebble, he heard a sharp “snap,” followed by blood splattering and an excruciating pain radiating from his knee.
The pitiful screams echoed far and wide as Lin HaiLong, twisted in agony, clutched his knee and crouched on the ground. Sweat beaded on his forehead like raindrops, incessantly rolling down, as unstoppable as a torrential downpour.
The pebble contained Chen Nan’s Qi Dao Seventh Heaven True Qi. When it smashed into Lin HaiLong’s knee, it shattered the kneecap and penetrated right through the back of the knee. Its formidable penetration was comparable to that of a sniper rifle firing armor-piercing rounds.
Blood kept gushing out, mingling with Lin HaiLong’s sweat, spilling onto the ground and staining the green grass a deep red.
Chen Nan’s seemingly casual flick actually concealed an extremely sophisticated technique of using hidden weapons. It’s hard to dodge even for an opponent of the same level, let alone someone like Lin HaiLong, whose strength was inferior to his.
Watching Lin HaiLong grimace and squat on the ground, screaming in pain, the previously arrogant Zhao Ming was dumbfounded.
Lin HaiLong was defeated!
Defeated with a single move, and so utterly at that!
Zhao Ming simply couldn’t believe what was happening right before his eyes. Lin HaiLong was the Zhao family’s head bodyguard, undefeated under Zhao Dongshan’s command for many years, yet today, he had his leg broken by a tiny stone thrown by Chen Nan, completely overturning Zhao Ming’s understanding.
In Zhao Ming’s eyes, Lin HaiLong was undoubtedly the most formidable expert after his uncle, Zhao Dongshan.
Yet this nearly invincible expert now lay defeated so miserably and in such a pathetic state, even squatting on the ground and screaming!
“Uncle Lin, you must have been careless, quickly use your ultimate move and finish him off!”
Zhao Ming said this, but deep down, he felt an endless sense of fear towards Chen Nan and subconsciously took two steps back.
The two lackeys accompanying Zhao Ming were also stunned. Didn’t Brother Ming say Lin HaiLong, the Zhao family’s head bodyguard, was an invincible force? How come he seemed so vulnerable in front of Chen Nan?
To be beaten into incessant screams by a mere stone?
Could this be the legendary saying, ‘No matter how high your martial arts are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife, no matter how good your kung fu, a brick can bring you down’?
While everyone was in shock, Chen Nan glanced at Zhu Bajie and Zhang Jiangyi and pointed at Zhao Ming, saying, “Brothers, don’t just stand there watching the show, our friend Ming here is still waiting to be abused. Don’t you feel embarrassed not to satisfy him?”
The two guys, initially shocked by Chen Nan’s lightning speed, burst into laughter upon hearing this, and grabbing stones, charged towards Zhao Ming.
Seeing the situation turn sour, Zhao Ming promptly turned around and started to run, but just then—
Zhang Jiangyi threw a stone without hesitation, hitting Zhao Ming right behind the knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground with a thud, wincing in pain.
“Fuck your mother, fight if you dare, stop throwing stones!”
Zhao Ming cursed out loud, struggling to get up, but just then—
“I’m gonna squash you!”
With a loud yell, Zhu Bajie charged over and sat on Zhao Ming’s body, followed by a “thud,” Zhao Ming lay sprawled on the ground, eyes rolling back as Zhu Bajie’s weight nearly knocked him unconscious.
That was a weight of two hundred and fifty pounds, not something an ordinary person could bear.
“Fuck, fuck! Zhu Bajie, you son of a bitch, have the guts not to press me down!”
Zhao Ming flailed his arms ceaselessly, like a frenzied kitten, scratching at the ground but unable to stand up. He glared fiercely at his two followers and bellowed, “What are you numbskulls waiting for? Get me out of here!”
These two followers—one was Wang Jiong, who had been beaten black and blue by Zhu Bajie that morning, and the other was the boy who had been scared off.
Seeing the scene before them, they no longer cared about Zhao Ming. Wang Jiong’s legs trembled as he quickly said, “Brother Ming, my mom’s calling me home for dinner, I gotta dash. Take care of yourself.”
“You disloyal bastard!”
The other follower, upon seeing Wang Jiong run away, initially cursed him out. But then he thought, if Wang Jiong could be disloyal, why the hell should I be loyal? So he took off as well.
“You two cowards, I curse your ancestors! Get back here, come back now!” Zhao Ming cursed loudly, his eyes rolling back in fury, nearly passing out from rage. Thankfully, at the crucial moment, Zhang Jiangyi slapped him awake.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan also approached Lin HaiLong.
“A mere Eighth Layer Heaven of Entering Dao, and you dare to be so arrogant? Do you have any idea how vast this world is, how many stronger masters than you there are?” Chen Nan cast a cold smile at Lin HaiLong, who was grimacing in pain, and kicked mercilessly.
Chen Nan’s kick landed squarely on Lin HaiLong’s chest, the overwhelming force instantly sending Lin HaiLong crashing to the ground, his internal energy and blood churning violently, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His face, filled with panic, was now filled with shock as he stared at Chen Nan, “You… You’re so young, yet you’ve already stepped into the Qi Dao Realm!”
Lin HaiLong’s mind was overwhelmed with towering waves. A Qi Dao master was, to him, an unbeatable existence!
“Why say all this nonsense? Weren’t you the one who said you would break my legs? Here, I’m standing right in front of you. Go on, hit me!”
Chen Nan looked down at Lin HaiLong like the ultimate judge, his presence commanding from on high.
Lin HaiLong clenched his teeth, staring bitterly at Chen Nan. His nature had always been arrogant, but now he was being trampled underfoot by a younger junior, filling him with an unbearable sense of humiliation!
“I won’t make it hard for you. Just follow your earlier rules. Kneel on the ground, admit your wrongs and kowtow to me, and I’ll let you off. Otherwise, I’ll have to break your other leg as well,” Chen Nan said coldly, his icy gaze enough to make anyone shiver at a glance.
It wasn’t that he was unrelenting when in the right, but in this harsh society, one couldn’t afford to be too kind. If his martial arts had been inferior to the other party, he, Chen Nan, would be the one lying on the ground today.
Lin HaiLong lay on the ground, his eyes brimming with endless hatred.
For someone as proud as he was, apologizing to a junior was more unbearable than death itself.
After grinding his teeth, Lin HaiLong propped himself up on his elbows, pushed off with his left foot, and suddenly leaped up, throwing a punch towards Chen Nan’s throat.
A fatal move without a trace of mercy!
Lin HaiLong had risen to his status in the Zhao family not only due to his martial arts skills but also because of his ruthlessness!
Even in a law-abiding society, a desperate man like him would not hesitate to turn assassin.
“You’re courting death!”
Two cold lights shot from Chen Nan’s eyes as a chilling killing aura erupted from his body. Facing Lin HaiLong’s deadly strike, he didn’t retreat but advanced, slamming his fist against Lin HaiLong’s.
