He could feel his spirit being powerfully nourished, like the Sword Qi of a peerless swordsman piercing straight into the heavens.
A look of indifference shone in his eyes. His gaze, as sharp as a sword, pierced through the astonished members of the Ye Family, including Ye Badao.
"Chen Zheng!"
Like an enraged tiger, Ye Badao bellowed furiously, his aura flaring powerfully. In an instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing directly in front of Chen Zheng.
His fist tore through the air as it struck down fiercely.
The very air seemed to solidify as the wild power exploded, turning the nearby tables and chairs to ash.
This was a fist technique combining Inch Power and Wing Chun, making it indescribably more powerful than Ye Cangtian's.
However, faced with such a potent attack, Chen Zheng's expression remained unchanged.
With a light step, a massive illusion of a great bell formed around his body.
BOOM…
Accompanied by a deafening sound, the bell began to tremble. Ripples spread out through the air before slowly receding.
Unbelievable!
In that moment, Ye Badao felt a tidal surge of power from beneath his fist.
He had no time to think and immediately retreated, his figure vanishing like the wind to avoid being injured by the counterforce of the Golden Bell Shield.
Ye Badao's heart began to calm like a placid lake, but his eyes turned as cold as one frozen in ice.
However, the scene that unfolded before him next was like a vast, unforgettable painting that Ye Badao would remember for the rest of his life.
Chen Zheng gently raised his hand, uttering four words like an ancient incantation, "Overturning Seas and Rivers!"
The moment the words left his mouth, he struck forward with his palm.
The attack seemed light and feathery, yet it contained endless power.
The air cracked with the sound of thunder as a fierce power formed in an instant.
In Ye Badao's eyes, a colossal sea rose like a mountain range and rushed toward him.
The magnificent momentum was like that of a rampaging beast, striking fear into the heart.
Even as a peak Grandmaster, he could not withstand the overwhelming pressure.
"Ah!"
Ye Badao roared, exerting all his strength to form a solid wall of Qi in front of him.
CRACK!
In an instant, the defensive Qi wall shattered like fragile glass.
The powerful force threw Ye Badao's figure into the air like a helpless bird.
His body spun in mid-air as blood scattered from his mouth like brilliant rose petals.
His eyes filled with shock and confusion. The calm on his face was broken, replaced by a reality he could not accept.
Then, he crashed into a solid stone wall at an alarming speed. The wall cracked like a spiderweb under the heavy impact.
Coughing in pain, he felt as if his internal organs had been shattered, leaving him with only a thread of life.
Staring at the indifferent Chen Zheng, doubt spread through his heart like an encroaching darkness.
I'm a Grandmaster at my peak, so why couldn't I even take a single palm strike from a distance? What is going on?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering a choice mission.]
[Choice One: Show no mercy. Reward: One bottle of Peiyuan Pills.]
[Choice Two: Spare the Ye Family. Reward: The Ye Family's eternal loyalty as your slaves and dogs.]
Hearing this, Chen Zheng chose option one without hesitation.
As for sparing the Ye Family? Ha! The Ye Family is a wolf that will bite its master.
"Sword!"
Chen Zheng's voice was as cold as ice, like a winter gale howling through the Ye Family's main hall.
SWISH!
In an instant, Sword Qi swirled like a violent storm, forming a tempest with Chen Zheng at its center.
Tables, chairs, and columns were all sliced apart by the Sword Qi, shattered beyond repair.
"Ah..."
Amidst shrill screams, the upper echelons of the Ye Family widened their eyes in terror as they left this world forever.
However, Chen Zheng's heart remained as calm as a lake. In the world of martial arts, the cycle of life and death is the law of nature. He was once kind and merciful, but that past compassion was the very reason they had now forfeited their right to live.
"Chen... Zheng!"
Ye Badao's gaze pierced the chaos, settling on the corpses of the Ye Family leaders he had once considered kin. His eyes burned with endless hatred.
Chen Zheng's ice-cold eyes fell upon Ye Badao. "You shouldn't have engaged in those sinister schemes," he said softly.
"Schemes? Hahaha..." Ye Badao laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, his voice filled with arrogance and disdain. "They deserved to die! My Ye Family is invincible! I, Ye Badao, alone can make the entire martial arts community tremble! Anyone who offends the Ye Clan must die!"
Ye Badao's laughter grew louder before finally dissipating into a crazed peal.
Chen Zheng took one last look at the grand hall of the Ye Family before slowly walking out.
With each step, a trace of his killing intent dissipated, and by the time he truly departed, it was all gone.
Outside the Ye Family's gate, dozens of people had gathered.
They looked at Chen Zheng with eyes full of admiration and fear.
Chen Zheng paused, his gaze sweeping over them and sending a shiver down their spines.
Under his stare, as deep as the sea, it seemed no secrets could be hidden.
The name Chen Zheng instantly sent the Foshan martial arts community into an uproar.
"Southern Fist, Ro Mon!"
"Tongbei Quan, Huang Leijia!"
"Praying Mantis Fist, Dai Boyi!"
Their calls echoed like thunder as their movements painted a vivid picture.
Martial arts were prevalent in Foshan, but these three families were just the tip of the iceberg.
When news of what happened to the Ye Family spread, everyone in the martial arts world knew. They had all rushed over with various intentions, keen to witness the outcome.
However, the scene that greeted them left them utterly horrified.
"Are you from Foshan?" Chen Zheng's voice was deep and powerful, like an echo from the abyss.
"Yes, Grandmaster," they replied, their voices filled with awe and fear, as if they were facing an insurmountable mountain.
"The Ye Family is no more. Handle their affairs. I don't want anyone from the Ye Family appearing in Yun City or Magic Capital."
Chen Zheng's words were like a cold wind that brought sudden elation to their hearts.
The Ye Family held a supremely prestigious status in Foshan. Their accumulated resources and heritage were like a majestic, imposing pyramid.
Chen Zheng's words were akin to handing them all these precious treasures.
His implication was clear: he wanted the three families to unite their strength to ensure that no remnants of the Ye Family could escape Foshan.
"Rest assured, Grandmaster Chen, we will do our utmost to satisfy you!" the three men replied, their hearts burning with fervor.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly, as if he could already see the final resolution of the Ye Family affair.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission. You have received the following reward: One bottle of Peiyuan Pills.]
[Friendly Reminder: One bottle contains ten pills.]
This notification was like a sweet rain, completely washing away the pressure in Chen Zheng's heart.
"Where will you go next?" Ro Mon asked.
"I will return to Magic Capital," Chen Zheng answered.
