"Alright, go get the men from the Giant Whale Gang. I don’t have time to waste on them here," Chen Xuan said coldly.
"Yes, I’ll go negotiate with them now."
Jia Gui acknowledged the order and, taking a few men with him, immediately headed deeper into the area.
Just as Jia Gui was leaving with his men, three burly men quickly darted over. They were powerfully built and blocked Chen Xuan’s path with smirks on their faces.
"Hey, kid. What did you just say? I thought I heard you call us all animals, is that right?"
The man in the middle suddenly broke into a laugh.
"Are we animals?"
The man on the far left suddenly roared, "Am I not a person? Am I not human?"
His booming voice echoed down the entire street.
It attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed.
’Where the hell did these guys come from?’
"Kid, I know you’re with the Red Sand Gang, but even they can’t act so brazenly here. No matter what, what you just said broke my brothers’ hearts. How about this: hand over two hundred silver!" the man in the middle said with a grin.
"Two hundred silver! You got it or not? Hurry up and fork it over!" the man on the left continued to yell.
’Screw your mother!’
Chen Xuan couldn’t be bothered to respond. With lightning speed, he grabbed the man’s face and slammed it into the ground.
BOOM!
The immense force of the impact smashed a deep crater into the ground on the spot.
The man instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body convulsing before he passed out, unable to move a muscle.
The other two men’s faces changed, their expressions a mask of disbelief.
They had come looking for trouble with Chen Xuan for two reasons. First, he was young, so they figured he wasn’t anyone important. Second, they wanted to give the Red Sand Gang a show of force to make them back off.
But they had never expected Chen Xuan to possess such terrifying strength.
Terrified, the two didn’t even think twice before turning to flee.
"Trying to run? Get back here!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
With a single step, Chen Xuan shot forward like an arrow from a bow, his bones and tendons thrumming. He held nothing back, landing a palm strike on each of them. The impacts were explosive. With agonized screams, the two men were sent flying.
Without exception, both figures were thrown through the air, crashing into the distance. It was unclear if they were dead or alive.
[Your actions were gratifying. Retribution points +300!]
The other people on the street stared at Chen Xuan, their faces filled with shock.
Chen Xuan shook his wrists, his expression indifferent. "A bunch of trash, coming here to shout in my face. Aren’t you afraid you’ll sprain your own tongues?"
He suddenly bent down, grabbed the unconscious man from the ground, and gave him a little shake. "Why aren’t you shouting now? Weren’t you being pretty loud just a moment ago? What, born with a dislike for shouting? You piece of trash. Get lost!"
With a casual toss, he hurled the man into the distance like a sack of garbage.
THUD.
Just as the man’s body was thrown, it was caught mid-air by a burly figure.
This burly man had a grim expression. He was tall and imposing, standing about one-point-nine meters tall. He wore a short shirt, revealing skin as taut as steel cables, gleaming as if forged from brass—an astonishing sight.
The surrounding crowd immediately broke into shocked whispers.
"Tyrant Fist is here! That kid is done for!"
"What nerve! How dare he beat up Tyrant Fist’s men!"
"This is going to be a good show!"
...
"Hm?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the burly man. He turned to one of his subordinates and asked, "Who’s he? Is that Zhang Lie?"
"No, Squad Leader. He’s ’Tyrant Fist’ Wuu Biao, a notorious water bandit from around here. You must be careful!" a nearby underling, Jiang Kun, quickly whispered.
"A water bandit?"
Chen Xuan scowled. "What the hell is this? All sorts of riff-raff are crawling ashore now. If the world doesn’t go to hell after this, there’s no goddamn justice!"
"No justice?"
The burly man carried the unconscious figure and walked forward step by step, his face dark. A group of henchmen followed him, their cold gazes fixed on Chen Xuan. "I don’t care if there’s justice or not, and I don’t care what your grudge is with the Giant Whale Gang. The point is, you shouldn’t have hurt my men. You injured three of them and beat them into this state. Kid, no matter what, you’re going to give me an explanation today!"
"Yeah, get your Squad Leader Su out here!"
"Where’s that bitch Su Qingliu? Have her spend a night with our boss, and we’ll call it even!"
"That’s right! Make Su Qingliu sleep with our boss for a night!"
"Hahahaha!"
The group of henchmen burst out laughing.
They only dared to come here and back up Zhang Lie because he had invited them.
"You want Su Qingliu to sleep with you? Then go find her yourself. It’s not my decision to make."
Chen Xuan’s tone was flat.
"Not your decision?"
The burly man’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them. "If you can’t, then you’ll kneel here today and apologize to my three men!"
BOOM!
He stomped his foot, dropping the man he was holding. His massive, powerful body shot forward like an arrow, surging with an immense force that tore through the air with a terrifying and intimidating WHOOSH.
He immediately threw a lightning-fast punch, aiming it straight for Chen Xuan’s body.
The fist was ferocious and domineering, like a meteor.
"What a powerful fist technique!"
"He truly lives up to the name Tyrant Fist!"
The crowd cheered.
However, Chen Xuan paid it no mind. The instant the burly man charged, he also shot forward, concentrating his power, his muscles and tendons taut, as he met the attack head-on.
It was a direct clash of brute force!
BANG!
His palm strike slammed directly into the man’s iron fist. A deafeningly terrifying sound erupted between them as the air exploded in transparent ripples.
Wuu Biao’s expression changed drastically. He was shocked.
From that single exchange, he felt countless streams of needle-like power tear through his own force and drill into his arm, which instantly went numb with a piercing pain.
’What incredible power!’
’What a strange palm technique!’
’When did the Red Sand Gang produce a genius like this?’
’Not good!’
’This kid is too monstrous. I can’t let him live!’
’I have to cripple him!’
WHOOSH!
He ducked his head, and three poisoned darts suddenly shot out from his back, swift and fierce, flying straight for Chen Xuan’s face.
Chen Xuan’s expression changed in alarm. His muscles, tendons, and flesh all contracted as he dodged with everything he had. The high-speed evasion strained his skin, causing a stinging pain. He had dodged the three darts by a hair’s breadth, and a cold sweat broke out over his body.
Before he could react, Wuu Biao’s savage fist was already smashing into his waist from the side. With a loud THUD, the blow made Chen Xuan’s body tremble and sent a heart-piercing pain through him.
’You’re courting death!’
A cold fury rose in Chen Xuan’s heart. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed his Blast Palm, which carried a terrifyingly powerful force, hammering Wuu Biao with a continuous barrage like a dense downpour.
’I was just sparring with you, and you tried to take my life?’ freeweɓnovel.cѳm
’In that case, you can just die!’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of terrifying roars echoed as the force of the blows whistled, creating a piercing sound.
Relying entirely on his thick skin, tough flesh, and powerful physique, Chen Xuan fought like a man with no regard for his own life.
Wuu Biao was horrified. His entire body was covered by countless palm afterimages. Every inch of him ached with unbearable pain. He was left with only enough strength to defend, with no chance to counter-attack.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had landed an unknown number of blows.
"Enough!" Wuu Biao roared.
"Enough my ass!"
Chen Xuan slammed a palm into Wuu Biao’s chin, followed by a punch to his chest. With a loud THUD, Wuu Biao let out a wretched scream, spitting up a torrent of blood as he flew backward, an unknown number of ribs broken, and crashed violently in the distance.
"Don’t... don’t hit me anymore! I surrender! Isn’t surrendering enough?" Wuu Biao screamed in terror.
"Surrender?"
Chen Xuan’s face was chillingly cold as he walked forward, his clothes swirling around him, his power surging.
"You were trying to kill me, man!"
"What... what are you going to do? I’m from the Thirteen Golden Dragon Strongholds!" Wuu Biao yelled in a panic.
"The Thirteen Golden Dragon Strongholds!" Chen Xuan’s tone was ice-cold. "Even if you were from the Eighteen Golden Dragon Strongholds, you’d still die today!"
WHOOSH!
His body shot past, and he slammed a palm into the center of Wuu Biao’s brow.
CRACK!
Wuu Biao coughed up a final spray of blood, his mind roaring with static.
His entire body collapsed backward like a broken sack, utterly and completely dead.
