Free Web NovelChapter 25: Chapter 25: Beating You Until You Shut Down
"Enough, you bitch! I’ll make you kneel here in the most humiliating way possible!"
Lu Yao roared in fury, suddenly raising both hands high.
The next moment, her skin began to rapidly redden and heat up at a visible rate, turning as hot as a searing brand. Wisps of white smoke started rising from every pore.
An incredibly powerful and terrifying aura erupted from her body.
Her entire presence transformed.
"Crimson Blood Burning Heart Palm!"
"That’s the high-tier, mid-grade martial technique—the Crimson Blood Burning Heart Palm!"
"Lu Yao is finally using this technique!"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
They recognized Lu Yao’s signature technique in an instant!
In past battles, very few people had ever forced Lu Yao to use this Cultivation Technique.
"You forced my hand!"
Lu Yao’s eyes were locked on Chen Xuan as she said icily, "Now, face my wrath!"
She didn’t want to drag this out. She would use her strongest attack to end this once and for all!
She had to wash away this humiliation!
BOOM!
Her skin suddenly turned an even deeper shade of red. Waves of intense heat radiated from her, making the very air seem to scorch.
Then, with a stomp of her foot, she shot toward Chen Xuan like a rocket, trailing a blast of fiery air.
"Die!"
With that shriek, her slender, crimson figure shot forward like a burning meteorite, crashing fiercely toward Chen Xuan’s formidable frame.
Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He stood his ground, not moving a muscle, as if he’d been struck by a Body Immobilization Skill.
BANG!
For a moment, the entire area was filled with a deafening explosion.
The ground shook, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.
Sheets of scorching white energy blasted outward in all directions. The wind howled and shrieked.
Everyone watched, their hearts pounding, shock written on their faces.
"What a terrifying technique!"
"It’s over! It’s already over!"
"Lu Yao’s power is truly unstoppable!"
"Squad Leader Chen lost after all!"
The crowd erupted.
The members of the Giant Whale Gang, in particular, roared with excitement.
They knew this would be the outcome!
Their Young Mistress had never been defeated!
Not in the past, not now, and not ever!
"Well done, Young Mistress!"
The crowd cheered joyfully.
Yet, in the center of the field, as the waves of white energy dissipated, Chen Xuan’s formidable figure remained standing, completely unmoved. His face was cold and terrifying, one massive hand gripping Lu Yao’s wrist in a vise.
Lu Yao’s palm strike had never even reached him.
The immense Dark Energy she had gathered was completely neutralized by Chen Xuan.
Not only that, but his grip on her wrist was so tight it sent sharp, stabbing pains through her arm!
’This...’
’How is this possible?’
Lu Yao’s pupils contracted. For the first time, a trace of horror appeared on her face.
"So!"
"This is the full extent of your power?"
"What the hell... was all that posturing about?"
The deep, cold words came from Chen Xuan’s lips like the growl of some colossal beast, sending a shiver of terror down Lu Yao’s spine and making her heart tremble with panic.
’This is bad!’
BOOM!
Chen Xuan’s other hand, moving with unpredictable and explosive force that shattered the air, swung toward Lu Yao’s abdomen like a giant fan.
Lu Yao let out a sharp cry and met his attack with her free hand.
The impact produced a sharp CRACK.
Lu Yao grunted in pain, feeling as though the bones in her hand were about to shatter. She instinctively recoiled, but Chen Xuan’s assault had only just begun. He rained blow after blow down on her.
Gritting her teeth against the agonizing pain, Lu Yao had no choice but to meet his relentless flurry of strikes.
All the while, her right wrist remained locked in Chen Xuan’s grasp, held as if by an iron clamp.
Shockwaves of power blasted out in all directions, accompanied by a series of deafening booms.
In the midst of their high-speed exchange...
Suddenly!
Chen Xuan delivered a sudden headbutt, smashing it into Lu Yao’s forehead.
BOOM!! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Lu Yao cried out in even greater agony. Her vision blurred as she saw stars, and a large welt instantly swelled on her forehead.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Xuan’s massive hand, filled with terrifying power, slammed into Lu Yao’s abdomen with a sickening THUD.
Lu Yao screamed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She felt as if her organs had been crushed.
The clothing over her stomach burst apart, revealing the fair, healthy skin beneath.
But that wasn’t all.
Still gripping her wrist, Chen Xuan hauled her into the air and viciously slammed her into the ground.
SPLAT!
BAM!
The ground shook as cracks spiderwebbed out from the impact.
Lu Yao coughed up more blood. Her entire body screamed in pain as she curled up on the ground, clutching her stomach and whimpering, completely immobilized.
At a glance, she looked like a curled-up animal, with only enough strength left to whimper.
Her earlier confidence and arrogance had vanished without a trace.
Her once sharp and elegant features were now contorted in agony.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes...
’It hurts so much!’
It wasn’t just physical pain; her pride, her self-respect, were being shattered...
"I’ll... I’ll kill you..."
Humiliation twisted Lu Yao’s face as she struggled to get up, but Chen Xuan gave her no chance. He unceremoniously stomped his foot down.
THUD!
Pinning her head completely under his boot.
Lu Yao fell into complete despair. Her body went limp as hot tears welled in her eyes...
If not for the crowd, she would have already broken down sobbing...
’This is too humiliating!’
’It’s too much to bear!’
She’d never been treated this way in her entire life!
She was a lofty genius, showered with accolades, who had grown up her whole life as the center of everyone’s adoration...
And now, she was being ground into the dirt under someone’s foot in the most humiliating way imaginable!
’His foot stinks!’
"Well? How does it feel?"
Chen Xuan’s voice was ice-cold as he looked down on her and said:
"Didn’t you say you couldn’t lose? What about now?"
His powerful foot ground her face into the dirt, showing her no mercy. Every word he spoke was like a sharp dagger, piercing her heart.
"A genius? More like a natural-born fool!"
"You kept going on and on about your talent. Your ’talent.’ What is it worth? Huh?"
"Where’s all that arrogance now? That insolence?"
Each word that rang in her ears pushed her closer to a complete emotional breakdown.
"Young Mistress!!"
"You’ve humiliated our Young Mistress! We’ll fight you to the death!"
A group of Giant Whale Gang members cried out in anguish and charged forward recklessly.
"Dammit, what do you think you’re doing?"
"Are you trying to start a war?"
A group of Red Sand Gang members immediately jumped forward, drew their weapons, and shouted back.
Chen Xuan’s gaze was frigid as he swept it across the members of the Giant Whale Gang. He roared, "All of you, shut up! If you don’t want your Young Mistress to die right here and now, then stop immediately!"
RUMBLE!
The sound of his voice boomed, echoing across the field.
It was as terrifying as the roar of a savage beast.
The expressions on the faces of the Giant Whale Gang members changed, and they skidded to a halt.
"You... you have to let our Young Mistress go! This was just a spar, there’s no need to take it this far," one of the members said, his face pale as he forced himself to speak to Chen Xuan.
"I can let her go, but..."
A cruel smirk played on Chen Xuan’s lips. "She has to kneel and apologize to me personally!"
As his words fell, every member of the Giant Whale Gang felt as if they’d been struck by lightning.
’Kneel and apologize?’
’A quick death would be kinder...’
’This is too cruel!’
"Lu Yao, what do you say?"
Chen Xuan’s gaze was cold as he looked down at Lu Yao beneath his foot. "If you’re not willing, I have other ways. There’s a septic tank back there. I’ll strip you naked and throw you in. After that, you’ll be famous throughout all of Black Stone City!"
Lu Yao lay limp like a dead dog, still pinned beneath Chen Xuan’s boot, tears streaming from her eyes as if they would never stop...
She had never imagined.
That she would ever end up in a situation like this!
But she didn’t dare refuse Chen Xuan’s demand.
After all... she didn’t want to be thrown into a pool of feces.
In that situation, she would rather die!
"I’m... I’m sorry..."
Lu Yao’s mournful, muffled voice came from beneath Chen Xuan’s foot.
"Kneel and say it!"
Chen Xuan lifted his foot and commanded coldly.
Every member of the Giant Whale Gang trembled, their eyes filled with grief and indignation as they watched the tragic scene unfold.
In that moment, their world... came crashing down.
