Apart from having two bodyguards who were at the Tianyuan realm, Zhang Lingfeng himself was also an expert at the Ningshen realm. Even if Wang Yue were truly provoked into attacking, he would be utterly unable to do anything to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng took pleasure in seeing others hate him deeply yet be completely powerless against him.

However, Zhang Lingfeng had no idea how serious a mistake he had made.

If he had targeted Wang Yue directly, Wang Yue, who still needed time to grow stronger, might not have done anything to him in order to buy more time.

But instead, Zhang Lingfeng chose to target the woman beside Wang Yue – and that was simply touching Wang Yue's most sensitive point.

Step by step, slowly but decisively, Wang Yue approached Zhang Lingfeng. With a slight smile on his face, which was filled with disdain, Wang Yue suddenly launched a series of lightning-fast kicks with his right leg.

Crack… Crack…

Two almost simultaneous crisp sounds were heard. Zhang Lingfeng's legs gave way under him, and he fell to the ground.

It wasn't until his buttocks hit the ground that Zhang Lingfeng realized what had happened. He grabbed his shattered knees and let out a loud scream of pain.

But Wang Yue didn't stop there. He stepped on Zhang Lingfeng's groin with his foot.

"Ah…"

Zhang Lingfeng let out a hysterical cry. He moved his hands from his knees to his groin and clutched them tightly. Then his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.

His testicles were literally shattered to pieces!

Moreover, Wang Yue's attack wasn't just a simple physical injury.

With that single step, not only were Zhang Lingfeng's testicles crushed into pulp, but a powerful flow of energy was also injected into his body, completely destroying all his meridians.

No matter how skilled the doctors were or how advanced the medical equipment, there was no possibility of curing him.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

From the moment Wang Yue first struck until Zhang Lingfeng was completely incapacitated, it took just over a second. It was only when Zhang Lingfeng lost consciousness that those around him realized what had happened.

Two burly men rushed in from the periphery like lightning. One of them knelt down to check on Zhang Lingfeng's condition, while the other stood in front of them, glaring at Wang Yue.

As his bodyguards, their top priority was to protect Zhang Lingfeng at all costs, and only then would they consider helping him take revenge.

As for the others, they were all stunned. They never expected Wang Yue to attack Zhang Lingfeng – after all, Zhang Lingfeng was a direct descendant of the Zhang family, one of the four major families of Tianhai.

Didn't Wang Yue fear that the Zhang family would seek revenge against him?

In a dark corner of the hall, there were two people who were not shocked by what happened.

They were two young women. One of them was dressed elegantly, with long hair flowing down her shoulders and features as beautiful as those of a painting; she exuded an elegant, refined aura, like a rare orchid growing in a secluded valley.

The other woman had short hair and was dressed in a stylish, athletic outfit that highlighted her attractive, well-proportioned figure.

Although her appearance was not quite as striking as that of the woman with long hair, she was still very attractive. Her bold, unyielding spirit complemented that of the woman with long hair.

Seeing that Wang Yue had engaged Zhang Lingfeng's bodyguards, the woman with short hair whispered to her senior sister, "Senior, should we intervene now?"

The woman with long hair shook her head and said, "It's not yet the right time. The palace master has ordered that we not intervene unless it is a life-or-death situation. Our job is just to keep an eye on things and make sure Wang Yue and the others are not in danger."

The woman with short hair nodded, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Zhang Lingfeng's two bodyguards. If Wang Yue and the others were in danger, she would be there immediately.

"Young Master Feng… he's been incapacitated," said one of the bodyguards who had examined Zhang Lingfeng's injuries. Then he stood up and joined his companion.

In their eyes, there was now a determination.

Their mission was to protect Zhang Lingfeng.

Now that Zhang Lingfeng had been disabled right before their eyes, the punishment awaiting them would be unimaginable.

Rather than facing that, they might as well fight against the three major families of Jinling.

Perhaps they could even gain a reputation for loyalty in death, or at least die more heroically.

So, without any words exchanged, the two bodyguards reached a consensus: first kill Wang Yue, then storm into the Wang family's residence.

If they could win, they would kill; if not, they would be offering themselves up for death.

"Do you have any last words to take back to the Wang family?" asked the bodyguard who had previously confronted Wang Yue, with a sneer.

"I have no last words, but I do have a warning: don't choose the wrong people in your next life!" Wang Yue said, and with lightning-fast movements, he grabbed the necks of both bodyguards with his hands.

The two bodyguards laughed disdainfully and responded by locking their arms around Wang Yue's necks.

Only when their arms collided did they realize how utterly wrong they were. With two crisp "crack" sounds, their fingers and wrists were broken.

But Wang Yue's strength remained undiminished. He firmly grasped their necks, exhaled a little of his vital energy, and with another "crack" sound, both men collapsed and lost consciousness.

Those who had just recovered from their shock were stunned once again by what happened, even more so than when they saw Wang Yue attacking Zhang Lingfeng: When had Wang Yue become so powerful?

Even the two girls in the corner were astonished and exclaimed, "No wonder he's the palace master's nephew. We've underestimated him all this time."

However, Su Jin'er and the others found this entirely normal; in fact, they thought Wang Yue had been too gentle in his actions.

With his current strength, Wang Yue could have easily killed those two men in the Tianyuan realm without even having to use a single move.

The reason he fought with them was to create an illusion, making it impossible for others to discern his true abilities.

Otherwise, the Tianhai Zhang family would be too wary of him and might send someone from the Defiant realm to deal with him, which would cause trouble.

After easily killing Zhang Lingfeng's bodyguards, Wang Yue turned his attention to Zhang Qingtian.

"Zhang Qingtian, today I won't kill you, but I'll give you a warning: Chu Mo is my woman. Anyone who dares to covet her…" Wang Yue said, pointing at Zhang Lingfeng lying on the ground, "This is what happens to those who challenge me."

"I… understand," Zhang Qingtian said, swallowing hard, his voice hoarse. His legs were so weak that he could barely stand.

Compared to Zhang Qingtian's fear, Chu Mo was overjoyed at that moment.

Just as Xu Yanran had said, she wanted Wang Yue to come and "kidnap" her at her wedding. It wasn't because she had been brainwashed by some idol drama; she simply wanted a dramatic way to announce her relationship with Wang Yue.

And now, in the hall, in addition to the descendants of various families, many of their heads of household were also present. It could be said that almost half of Jinling's martial forces were gathered here.

In front of all these people, Wang Yue publicly declared his claim to her by disabling a direct descendant of the Tianhai Zhang family and killing two experts in the Tianyuan realm. This was even better than simply "kidnapping" her in public.
