Chapter 558: The Power of the Martial Artist! [Fifth Update]
"Bullying too much!" Tang Youde's eyes blazed with anger, as he had never imagined that such brazen and shameless people could exist in this world.
He had come here merely to stand quietly and talk, yet he still fell victim to this unprovoked disaster.
Tang Youde desperately wanted to teach this man a harsh lesson, but considering the consequences of starting a fight, he forcefully suppressed his urge and turned to leave the place.
"Thinking of leaving?" Yin Chengjie sneered, reaching out to grab Tang Youde's shoulder, and said, "Don't think you can leave so easily without kneeling and kowtowing today."
Qin Qing and others stood aside, watching coldly with no intention of intervening.
After all, in front of Yin Chengjie, they were just ordinary people, and it was better not to get involved in such matters.
The attendees of the exchange meeting also noticed the commotion here, and these significant figures watched the scene with smiles on their faces, enjoying it as if it were just some seasoning to their lives, to occasionally spice things up.
Just then, a young man suddenly appeared from outside the door.
This man, dressed in a dark long gown with long hair draped behind his head, exuded an aura of scholarly elegance.
What attracted everyone's attention most was the man's face.
He was so handsome that it seemed no word in the language could fully describe his looks.
The moment the man arrived, he instantly attracted all eyes.
Qin Qing and the other young women couldn't take their eyes off him.
He was too handsome; his face was like an aphrodisiac, fatally attractive to all women.
The newcomer was Li Xiaoyao, and upon entering, he saw the scene of Tang Youde being threatened by Yin Chengjie. Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and slowly walked over.
Seeing the handsome man approaching, Yin Chengjie snorted and said, "Pretty boy, don't meddle in other people's business."
Tang Youde, whose shoulder was being held, looked a bit puzzled. He felt that there was something familiar about this man, an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Li Xiaoyao spoke indifferently, "Slap yourself, break your own arms, and roll out of here, and I might spare your life."
As these words were spoken, everyone was astounded.
"Who is this person to talk so big? Does he know whom he's speaking to?"
"What an ignorant lad."
Yin Chengjie's face darkened, and soon he let out a cold laugh, withdrawing his hand and rubbing his fists together, producing a series of crackling sounds from his bones.
"You're quite arrogant, kid."
Li Xiaoyao stared at him and asked, "Do you want to fight me?"
"Scared now? Even if you are, it's too late! How dare you speak to me so disrespectfully; today, I must cripple your limbs so you'll know there are some people you can't afford to offend." Yin Chengjie sneered viciously, and with a fierce stomp, the ground seemed to tremble at that moment.
Qin Qing and others paled, staring at Yin Chengjie in alarm.
"This... This is the power of a martial artist?"
"Heavens, is this still a human? The force of one stomp is terrifying!"
"Simply monstrous! He made the earth tremble with just a stomp, unbelievable!"
Qin Qing and the others, who had never witnessed the power of a martial artist, were already shocked by the occasional display of Yin Chengjie's strength.
"Kid, you probably don't know how powerful the person you've offended is!" Yin Chengjie growled, stepping toward Xiaoyao, making the ground shake with each step.
Martial artists and cultivators who had come for the exchange meeting furrowed their brows upon seeing this scene.
"Such a group of uncultured youngsters!" A cultivator chided.
A cultivator said, "I'll go warn them."
"Hold on a second," another person said, "That guy looks like General Yin's grandson."
"General Yin?" The cultivator paused, then added, "Then let them be, the younger generation is bound to have disputes."
As these cultivators spoke, Yin Chengjie had already approached Li Xiaoyao, his fist the size of a mallet, brutally smashing towards Li Xiaoyao's head.
The punch was like a heavy blow from a club, whistling through the air, and if it connected, the head would surely explode.
Hu Xue and the others covered their eyes, afraid to look, dreading the sight of a gruesome scene.
Tang Youde watched the awe-inspiring Yin Chengjie, his face turning pale.
This guy, how is he so strong?
"Be careful!" Tang Youde called out softly, ready to step forward to help Li Xiaoyao, but the next moment, what happened made his pupils contract sharply, and his feet seemed to root to the ground.
Facing Yin Chengjie's violent punch, Li Xiaoyao casually raised a hand, poised to catch the fist with his palm.
The onlookers sneered upon seeing this.
"This kid must really be insane."
"Yin Chengjie is a martial artist, with immense strength of a thousand jin, and yet he dares to catch it with his flesh palm? Simply foolhardy."
"Bang!"
The muffled sound of fist meeting palm rang out, yet Li Xiaoyao's body remained firmly in place. In the next instant, the crowd was shocked to see that Yin Chengjie's vein-popping fist, striking Li Xiaoyao's palm, didn't even manage to budge his body an inch.
"Who exactly is this man?"
Qin Qing and the others were astonished, Wen Ping's pupils shrunk, and after a long while he exclaimed in shock, "Could it be... he's a martial artist too!"
The cultivators chatting idly also voiced their surprise, then said, "Eh, this old man must have misjudged, I didn't expect this youngster to be a martial artist."
"To be able to easily catch Yin Chengjie's punch, his cultivation level must have reached the Condensation Stage."
The most astonished was Yin Chengjie himself, who could clearly feel the terrifying strength in Li Xiaoyao's palm that enveloped his fist.
"I'll spare your life for now," Li Xiaoyao said indifferently. His palm exerted a slight force, and the continuous "crack" sounds rang out. With a casual lift of his hand, Yin Chengjie's body was suddenly hurled into the air, flung more than ten meters away, and crashed heavily onto the marble floor.
The crowd swallowed hard as they watched this unfold.
This man, who had appeared out of nowhere, didn't hesitate to take action and inflicted serious injuries on Yin Chengjie with a single blow.
His decisive and swift method instilled fear and awe in the onlookers.
"This kid is done for."
"That's General Yin's grandson, and he just got beaten to a pulp like that."
"Screech!"
The sound of brakes came from outside the banquet hall, followed by synchronized and rhythmic footsteps. The crowd looked over and saw an elderly man with graying hair and a middle-aged man walked in.
As these two entered, someone immediately exclaimed, "It's General Yin!"
"Really, speak of the devil and the devil appears. This kid just beat up Yin Chengjie, and now General Yin and Colonel Yin have arrived."
"This kid is in for it now."
"The Yin family is not one to be trifled with."
"But this guy seems no ordinary person either; just don't know which sect he's from."
