"Dad..."

Li Lei was also stunned, but he simply did not believe that Jiang Chen was an Innate Grandmaster.

"Get up! There's no way he could be an Innate Grandmaster! Absolutely impossible!" Li Lei's face changed dramatically as he suddenly noticed the saber in Jiang Chen's hand and promptly pointed at the Blood Saber, shouting, "That saber, it must be because of that saber!"

In his view, Jiang Chen couldn't be that strong, and as a young master, he was fondest of relying on external forces or divine weapons. His first thought was that Jiang Chen's saber was a Divine Weapon, and he was almost right on the mark.

Li Yunfeng was startled and abruptly turned his gaze to the Blood Saber.

Blood red with a dark hue, hiding a brilliant sheen.

At first glance, it was an extraordinary blade.

Could it really be this saber?

Yes, it had to be!

How could someone so young possibly be an Innate Grandmaster? Impossible!

Li Yunfeng gradually regained his composure and also realized this possibility, then fiercely jumped to his feet.

Thinking about having knelt before Jiang Chen just a moment ago, he was filled with a mix of shame and rage, his face turning beet red. At the same time, a greedy look appeared in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Chen's Blood Saber and said in a fit of anger, "Kid, you give me that saber, and we can call it even between us!"

"Call it even? You still want to call it even? Impossible!"

Jiang Chen replied with a cold smile, "However, I do find the way you were kneeling before me quite amusing."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen's eyes, staring into Li Yunfeng's, flashed with a sanguine light.

"Nonsense!" Li Yunfeng, even more infuriated and humiliated, roared, "You want to fight me? I'm the president of the Jincheng branch of the Martial Alliance and also a Martial Alliance Director. If you dare to lay a hand on me, prepare for the Martial Alliance's endless retaliation!"

"Is that so! My ancestor always said, 'Fear not the thief who steals, but the one who always has his eye on your wealth.' Since that's how it is, I shall leave no future troubles completely!"

Cold murderous intent burst from Jiang Chen's eyes as his figure flashed, charging directly towards Li Yunfeng.

"You're courting death!" Li Yunfeng, who had been momentarily frightened by Jiang Chen's saber aura, now seeing Jiang Chen charging at him rather than using Inner Qi to attack from a distance, instantly felt confident that Jiang Chen couldn't be an Innate Grandmaster. Convinced that it was the Blood Saber that had unleashed the saber's aura, his self-assurance surged as he charged towards Jiang Chen!

"Uncle, what... what do we do?" Qiu Liang anxiously looked towards Qiu Boyuan.

Qiu Boyuan's brow was tightly furrowed. Glancing at the two fighting fiercely, he spoke in a grave voice, "Mr. Jiang saved my life and helped us identify flaws in our Cultivation Technique. This is akin to being reborn. No matter how things turn out today, we mustn't be ungrateful!"

"I know, but... should we go break them up?" Qiu Liang asked again.

Qiu Boyuan shook his head, "If we go in now to separate them, we're likely to offend both sides. Just watch. You restrain Li Lei and prevent him from sneaking an attack; I'll protect Mr. Jiang. If Mr. Jiang starts losing, I'll go and bring him to safety!"

"Alright!" Qiu Liang nodded, then turned to watch Li Lei, but his expression quickly changed as he shouted loudly, "Mr. Jiang, be careful!"

At that moment, Li Lei had just taken a short sword from his waist, and as Li Yunfeng attacked Jiang Chen, the sword lunged towards Jiang Chen's lower back.

"Die!" Li Lei's face, twisted with malice, shouted as Qiu Boyuan and the others' expressions changed, their bodies moving to intercept.

Ye Yuwan was even more anxious and rushed forward without a second thought.

"Don't go!" Qiu Boyuan's face changed dramatically as he bellowed, and Qiu Liang turned pale with urgency!

"Block Yuwan!" Jiang Chen's expression changed as he shouted out.

With no choice left, Qiu Boyuan realized that if Ye Yuwan charged in now, it would only make Jiang Chen's situation worse. Gritting his teeth, his figure flashed, blocking in front of Ye Yuwan, then anxiously turned his head to look at Jiang Chen.

Thud!

Crack!

Amidst a dull thump and the sound of snapping bones, and with looks of worry on the faces of Qiu Boyuan and the others, Jiang Chen executed a sideways Iron Bridge Stance at an odd angle. Li Yunfeng's palm strike aimed at the chest was dodged by Jiang Chen, and as Li Yunfeng was unable to retract his hand in time, the blow ended up striking Li Lei square in the chest.

Splat!

Li Lei spouted a mouthful of blood that sprayed the stunned face of Li Yunfeng. At the same time, Jiang Chen, who had dodged Li Yunfeng's palm strike, took the opportunity to bring his saber down on Li Yunfeng's lower abdomen.

Hum!

Whish!

Being Semi Innate allowed one to coat their body with Inner Qi. As the Blood Saber chopped down, Li Yunfeng hastily circulated his Inner Qi to defend. However, he still almost got split in half. Coincidentally, Li Yunfeng's palm had squarely hit Li Lei's Dantian, and Jiang Chen's strike also landed on Li Yunfeng's Dantian.

"Ah!"

Splat!

A gush of fresh blood, and father and son Li Yunfeng howled miserably as they were sent flying backward.

Thump, thump!

Both men fell to the ground and passed out.

In just an instant, both father and son were defeated at the hands of Jiang Chen.

In no time at all, the entire room fell into dead silence.

Qiu Boyuan and Qiu Liang just stared blankly at the scene, dumbfounded.

They knew the strength of Li Yunfeng and his son all too well. It was precisely because of this understanding that they couldn't fathom how Jiang Chen had managed to defeat them both with such ease, even under their joint attack.

Had Jiang Chen become so powerful?

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Jiang Chen snorted coldly, sword in hand, he stepped forward, his expression icy as he walked toward Li Yunfeng, prepared to eliminate the root of future trouble.

"Mr. Jiang!" Qiu Boyuan cried out, gave Qiu Liang a look, and quickly stepped in front of Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Jiang Chen.

He had never imagined Jiang Chen would be this strong! And to think, he had once considered confronting Jiang Chen himself.

This thought alone raised goosebumps on his skin, sending a chill through his heart.

"Mr. Jiang, you can't kill them! With Li Yunfeng's status, if you kill him, you'll really have to face pursuit from the Martial Alliance! Even if you're not afraid, you should think of your family!" Qiu Boyuan urgently spoke up, feeling the need to dissuade him.

Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, Qiu Boyuan was right. He wasn't afraid of people from the Martial Alliance causing trouble, he could simply wander the ends of the earth, but his family, even the Jiang Family, probably couldn't withstand the Martial Alliance's retaliation.

"Uncle, Chairman Li and Li Lei... they're both crippled! From now on, even if their injuries heal, they'll only be ordinary people!" Qiu Liang quickly checked on the condition of Li Yunfeng and the other while Qiu Boyuan was holding back Jiang Chen.

"What?!"

Qiu Boyuan's expression drastically changed, his eyebrows furrowing into a deep frown.

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Boyuan gritted his teeth, turned to look at Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Jiang, you go. I'll handle this situation here. We from the Dingjing branch will take the responsibility for this matter. This is an issue between our Dingjing branch and the Jincheng branch, and has nothing to do with Mr. Jiang!"
