"Are you afraid now?" Lin Lanxin's expression fell into Zhang Qingmeng's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of triumphant delight in her heart.
At the same time.
Su Chen suddenly turned his head, slowly paced, walked to the table, and under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, he sat down.
Even at this moment, there was no change in his expression.
"Lanxin, sit down. Why stand?" Su Chen said with a smile, looking up at Lin Lanxin.
"Su Chen, I..." Lin Lanxin wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Her delicate body trembled slightly as she sat down.
After sitting, she gathered her courage and took the initiative to hold Su Chen's hand, telling him that no matter what happened, she would face it with him.
"Huh..." Zhang Qingmeng and the others at the table also sat down. Zhang Qingmeng let out a cold laugh. She didn't understand why Su Chen was so composed, so composed, so composed. Even now, there was no indication he even thought of running away. Truly as unfazed as a mountain!
However, Zhang Qingmeng was certain that no matter how calm Su Chen seemed, what awaited him next would be a fate worse than death.
Su Chen seemed unfazed by the intense stares from the others in the hall; he actually picked up his chopsticks and continued eating!!!
Truth be told, he had not had enough to eat.
Time ticked by, second by second.
After about ten minutes.
"Tap tap tap tap..."
A series of hurried footsteps suddenly emerged, and instantly, everyone looked toward the entrance of the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, more than a dozen men in black suits, wearing sunglasses, and holding stun batons appeared. These men were all very muscular.
They were bodyguards!!!
Bodyguards of the Xuu Family.
Among them, almost all were former professional fighters from both domestic and international backgrounds, daring and tenacious, even having seen blood, with lives taken in their hands.
"Young Master!" After the dozen or so bodyguards appeared, they quickly entered, helping Xuu Ming up from the ground, and addressed him respectfully.
"Get him, beat this bastard to within an inch of his life, leaving just a breath!" Xuu Ming finally felt emboldened, he raised his head, looked at Su Chen, and shouted vengefully.
The reason he decided to leave Su Chen with a breath was because of Liu Buyu; he dared not take Su Chen's life on his own—it should be Young Master Liu's prerogative.
"Yes!" the dozen black-clad bodyguards exclaimed in unison.
They lifted their heads, a dozen pairs of eyes staring at Su Chen.
Murderous intent.
Murderous intent suddenly materialized, and nearly everyone in the hall felt a killing aura emanating from these dozen bodyguards.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Su Chen, what do we do? Should... should you run?" Lin Lanxin's delicate body trembled even more violently.
"Run? Haha... Can we even run?" Zhang Qingmeng mocked with a laugh, "I think you should hurry and eat more! At least you can die on a full stomach!"
The others at the table all started laughing, their smiles filled with schadenfreude and cruelty.
Su Chen still said nothing.
A moment later.
Su Chen was surrounded. A dozen or so black-clad bodyguards encircled him, leaving him seemingly with no way out!
"Su Chen, you damn bastard, keep up your defiance! I'm telling you, even if you kneel down and kowtow to me now, I won't let you off. I want to see with my own eyes as you suffer a fate worse than death, lying in front of me just like a dead dog!" From a distance, Xuu Ming roared fiercely, shouting and ranting as if venting.
"Tian Zao!" As Xuu Ming's roar subsided, Su Chen suddenly lifted his head, furrowed his brows, and then, 'swoosh,' a sudden whooshing sound arose.
To the astonishment of those present, the metal fork that Su Chen was holding, the one meant for eating cake, was suddenly shot out.
The mere three-inch fork traced a straight line through the air, much like an arrow being shot, filled with a chilling gleam and astonishing speed...
In the blink of an eye.
"Pffft!!!"
The fork viciously sank into Xuu Ming's knee.
"Thump..." Xuu Ming, who had just been helped up by his bodyguards, suddenly knelt on the ground again.
Clutching his knee, he writhed on the ground, howling in pain.
The more than ten bodyguards, hearing Xuu Ming's agonized screams, no longer had any hesitation or waiting to do. Their eyes flashed coldly as they raised their electric batons and, without a second thought, brought them down on Su Chen with all their might.
However.
To their utter disbelief, Su Chen seemed to vanish into thin air; they had lost their target.
As they stood confused.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The grating sound of bones breaking resonated continuously!!!
It was clearly visible that Su Chen moved around the black-clothed bodyguards like a flash of lightning.
And wherever his figure dashed past a bodyguard, that bodyguard's arm was brutally broken.
After a few breaths, when Su Chen stopped, all of the bodyguards had their arms broken, each writhing on the ground in pain, some even fainting from the agony.
The entire process took only about three breaths for Su Chen, frighteningly quick.
After doing all this, he walked toward Xuu Ming.
"Tap, tap, tap..." The sound of Su Chen's footsteps was not heavy, but, due to the extreme silence in the hall, they clearly reached everyone's ears.
In the hall at that moment, everyone, whether it was Zhang Qingmeng, Zheng Dongfeng, or anyone else, held their breath!!!
Even if they were fools, they could see Su Chen's might and extraordinariness.
When Su Chen fought Zhu He, these ordinary people might not have felt how formidable he was.
But just now, in a few breaths, Su Chen swiftly defeated over ten of the Xuu Family's bodyguards, which was enough to shock the eyes.
He was truly very strong!
"Lanxin, does your boyfriend know martial arts?" Zhang Qingmeng looked at Lin Lanxin, her face cloudy and uncertain. Clearly, Su Chen's repeated, unexpected performance had made her feel uneasy and anxious.
"What does that have to do with you?" Lin Lanxin wasn't interested in answering, plus, she truly didn't know.
"What's the big deal? Even if he knows martial arts, it's useless. He will still die with nowhere to bury his corpse!" Zhang Qingmeng snorted, "We live in the era of firearms and cannons! Does he think it's ancient times?"
At the same second.
Su Chen had already walked up to Xuu Ming.
"What... what... what are you going to do?" Xuu Ming, paralyzed on the ground, looked up, his eyes red as he stared at Su Chen. He kept propping himself up with his hands, backing away, terrified to the extreme.
"I won't take your life!" Su Chen crouched down, staring intently at Xuu Ming, and said, "Do you know why?"
As he spoke.
Su Chen grabbed Xuu Ming's arm, who struggled fiercely but to no avail.
"Because, ah! If you died, wouldn't that be too easy for you? How could I bear to let you die?" Su Chen leaned close to Xuu Ming, his voice growing a bit hoarser.
No one could imagine how much Su Chen hated Xuu Ming!!! It was a pure, resolute hatred that was downright maddening!
The next second.
Su Chen circulated the Mysterious Qi within his body, directly infusing it into Xuu Ming's.
Having just reached the Basic Entry level of martial arts cultivation, the Mysterious Qi he could use was not much, but it was enough to plant a Mysterious Qi Seed.
In his previous life, Su Chen not only became a powerful Mysterious Qi Grandmaster but was also the most renowned divine healer in the Chinese Martial Arts World and the only Alchemist there.
Because of this, he easily planted a Mysterious Qi Seed in Xuu Ming's body.
This Mysterious Qi Seed was a poisonous one that would poison Xuu Ming—a poison that would confine him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, rendering all his limbs useless, a poison that would bring him extreme pain in his bones and joints at all times.
