Banquet Hall.
Ming Lao strode forward a few steps and directly approached Ye Chen. His eyes narrowed slightly, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of a superior being.
"Young man, do not think that by learning a few tricks, you can act without regard for laws or morals. In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant."
Seeing Ming Lao take action, Chen Feng was ecstatic!
He knew that Ye Chen was doomed this time!
Before Ming Lao, all the arrogant ones could only face death!
"Ming Lao, I want this kid's right hand!" Chen Feng shouted loudly.
Ming Lao nodded, his aged voice echoing once more: "Young man, now that the Chen family demands one of your hands, do you have anything to say?"
Ye Chen was truly speechless, responding coldly, "How noisy! If you utter one more word, I will make sure you are a cripple for the rest of your life!"
This statement instantly reached everyone's ears in the hall. For a moment, it was clearly visible that at least more than half of the people present could not help but cover their mouths, fearing they would exclaim in shock.
Ming Lao shook his head and sighed, "Arrogant young man."
With those words, his figure suddenly vanished! A gale swept through the banquet hall!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of Ye Chen!
A palm carried the wind and struck down directly towards Ye Chen's right hand!
"Today, I will teach you what it means to be a frog at the bottom of a well!"
Ye Chen quickly activated the "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Jue," his Dantian surging, a stream of true energy directly flooding into his arm. If anyone was paying close attention, they would surely notice a faint glow emanating from Ye Chen's palm at this moment!
"Get lost!"
Ye Chen met the incoming attack head-on with a palm, colliding directly with Ming Lao!
In an instant, the surrounding glass tables shattered! A powerful airflow rushed in all directions!
"Bang!"
An unexpected event occurred!
Ming Lao was sent flying!
A trail of blood splattered through the air!
With a single move, Ming Lao was defeated!
The hall fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.
Everyone present stared at Ye Chen with incredulous eyes.
Sun Yi, nearby, covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Chen Zhenguo and Chen Feng, not far away, stood petrified!
Ming Lao, whom they had always believed to be incredibly powerful, had actually been defeated! And by a young man, no less!
What was happening?
How could this be possible!
The most shocked among them all was undoubtedly Ming Lao. The moment his palm collided with Ye Chen's, no one knew the storm that raged within his heart!
He forced himself to look up, barely squeezing out a sentence from his throat: "Who are you! How could your cultivation be..."
"Who am I?" Ye Chen looked down at the elder on the ground, his demeanor completely transformed at this moment, as if he had an aura that transcended all things, looking down upon all living beings!
"I am someone you can never afford to provoke!"
Ye Chen's voice resounded like thunder throughout the banquet hall.
For some unknown reason, upon hearing this, Ming Lao spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted completely.
Then, Ye Chen's gaze fell on the Chen father and son.
"Chen Zhenguo, do you have anything more to say?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhenguo's face turned drastically pale. He no longer cared about anything else and kicked Chen Feng's leg!
"Thud!" Chen Feng knelt down!
"Your Excellency, it's all my fault for not teaching my son properly! This good-for-nothing, do with him as you please!"
Upon hearing his father had given him up, Chen Feng finally realized the gravity of the situation and hastily pleaded with Ye Chen: "I... I really didn't know Miss Sun was your woman... I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Ye Chen pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Chen Feng with interest, saying: "Do you think it's me who needs to apologize?"
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood. He quickly knelt before Sun Yi, pleading: "Miss Sun... I... I'm sorry... It was my fault for underestimating you... I shouldn't have insulted you, I... I'm the one who's a bitch, my whole family are bitches..."
As Chen Feng spoke, he even began to slap himself. Born into a prominent family, he naturally knew how to read the room. Now that Uncle Ming had fallen! The Chen family truly had no support left! The most important thing now was to survive the grasp of this demon!
Sun Yi was still shaken, looking at the man who had once been untouchable, now kneeling before her, unsure of what to say.
A minute later, she finally managed to say in a trembling voice: "You... you may leave."
Chen Feng's face lit up with joy. He glanced at Ye Chen and, seeing no objection, quickly stood up and approached Chen Zhenguo, whispering: "Dad, let's get out of here quickly and go to the police station to finish this guy off..."
Chen Zhenguo nodded. He didn't want to stay in this place a second longer. His back was already drenched with sweat.
As they were about to leave, a languid voice rang out from behind:
"Chen Zhenguo, did I say you could leave?"
Chen Zhenguo's steps halted, his body stiffened! He slowly turned around and looked at the young man sitting not far away, puzzled: "Are you calling me? I don't think I've offended..."
"Kneel down!"
Ye Chen roared in anger!
Had it not been for Sun Yi's presence, the murderous aura around him would have already enveloped him entirely!
Today's matter was temporarily concluded, but the events of five years ago were far from over!
Chen Zhenguo felt a powerful pressure bearing down on him, as if his shoulders were weighed down by a colossal mountain!
"Thud!"
Chen Zhenguo knelt on the ground directly!
At this moment, everyone present changed their expressions.
The battle just now had happened so quickly that they couldn't comprehend it, only knowing that Ye Chen was very capable in combat.
So what if he could fight? This society is governed by law! No matter how capable you are in combat, you can't defeat a bullet!
But seeing Chen Zhenguo kneel was a completely different matter!
Although the Chen family was not among the top families in Jiangcheng, they were an extremely powerful presence!
That the leader behind such a powerful family would kneel to a young man in his twenties?
No one would believe it if they heard it!
The first reaction in everyone's minds was that Jiangcheng was about to change!
Completely and utterly change!
Ye Chen paid no attention to the reactions of those around him, stood up, and walked step by step towards Chen Zhenguo!
His steps were light, but to Chen Zhenguo, it was like the footsteps of the grim reaper!
Soon, Ye Chen stopped, looking down at Chen Zhenguo as if he were a deity looking down upon an ant!
He slowly opened his mouth, about to speak, when "bang!" the door was kicked open!
A dozen armed SWAT officers rushed in!
"Freeze!"
Seeing these SWAT officers, Chen Zhenguo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief; his life was saved.
Although there are ancient martial artists in Huaxia, even the most powerful are constrained by the state apparatus.
That's why over the years, there have been very few incidents of ancient martial artists causing chaos.
Ye Chen glanced around, his eyes showing no ripples. The old man had told him some things about Huaxia, and he knew that the Huaxia authorities managed ancient martial artists and cultivators, but this grudge, he had to avenge today!
"The guy standing there, I order you to put your hands on your head and squat down! If you don't squat down, I have the reason to shoot you dead! First warning!"
