As Jin Er spoke, all the members of the Shadow Gang exchanged uncertain glances because they couldn't help but feel that what Jin Er said was reasonable.
During the last competition at the Third Hospital, Liao Xinghe had helped Ye Chen, but the Shadow Gang had no direct connection to Liao Xinghe.
Jin Er grinned smugly at Ye Chen and asked, "What do you think, Ye Chen? Are you afraid?"
However, before Jin Er could finish his sentence, his face received a heavy blow.
"Smack!"
Ye Chen had slapped Jin Er, sending him flying and causing his face to swell up like a pig's head. Jin Er, who had sharp features, now resembled a pig. The power behind that slap was evident.
It was Ye Chen who had struck Jin Er, and the members of the Shadow Gang were stunned by what they had just witnessed. They hadn't even noticed how Ye Chen had approached Jin Er or how Jin Er had been sent flying.
All their attention was on Ye Chen, who remained calm and unaffected, as if nothing had happened.
Jin Er was in shock, and it took him several seconds to regain his senses. He cried out in pain, "It hurts! It hurts!"
Hearing Jin Er's agonized cries, the members of the Shadow Gang snapped out of their daze. Aside from feeling a sense of vindication, they were even more astonished by Ye Chen's strength.
After all, Jin Er was a seven-star warrior!
Could it be...
Lin Man and the six protectors of the Shadow Gang suddenly realized something and exchanged glances. It was Ye Chen, the legendary Ye Chen.
Ye Chen calmly walked toward the fallen Jin Er, who was still moaning in pain. When Jin Er saw Ye Chen approaching, his swollen face turned pale with fear.
"Ye... Ye Chen, what do you want to do?" Jin Er stammered, crawling backward. "I'm from the Jin family. If you dare do anything to me, the Jin family will never let you go."
Jin Er hoped to use the influence of the Jin family to intimidate Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen was now a Grandmaster, and the Jin family held no sway over him.
"Are you afraid?" Ye Chen asked, looking at Jin Er with indifference.
Jin Er was taken aback by the question. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to say such a thing.
"I... I'm not afraid!" Jin Er replied, though he was terrified deep down. He couldn't admit his fear because he believed that Ye Chen was wary of the Jin family. Admitting fear might backfire.
Ye Chen shook his head with a faint smile. Jin Er seemed to be in denial.
"Well, if you're not afraid, then I'll give you a reason to be." Ye Chen said calmly.
"What?" Jin Er's face turned even paler in terror.
He quickly crawled backward, and his face showed sheer horror.
In the end, Jin Er got up from the ground and fled as fast as he could, regretting not having a few more legs to run faster.
With his high-speed talent and the advanced martial art, Flowing Light Shadow Step, Ye Chen had appeared in front of Jin Er in an instant.
This... Everyone, including Jin Er, was shocked.
What kind of speed was this?
"Trying to run?" Ye Chen looked at Jin Er indifferently.
Jin Er was terrified and couldn't form a coherent sentence.
"I, I, I..."
After a few moments, Jin Er finally managed to speak.
"Ye Chen, I was wrong. Please, just let me go."
Jin Er pleaded desperately, looking at Ye Chen. He deeply regretted his actions, as he had no idea how terrifying Ye Chen truly was.
