Han Shangwen was so angry he almost laughed.
This youth who had appeared out of nowhere dared to provoke him to his face.
At first, he thought Zhu Xiaotian’s words were exaggerated. It was only after seeing the person that he realized Zhu Xiaotian had been conservative. This bastard was far more arrogant than he had imagined.
“Do you really think I wouldn't dare?” Han Shangwen narrowed his eyes.
Chen Jinzhao remained silent.
His meaning was clear – here is my hand, take it if you can.
Han Shangwen stared at Chen Jinzhao’s calm face, his eyes filled with icy coldness. He said to a bodyguard behind him, “Do it. Chop off his right palm and feed it to the dogs.”
Zhu Xiaotian and Yang Qianqian exchanged glances, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.
Chen Jinzhao’s arrogance would finally be met with the retribution it deserved.
Zhu Xiaotian sneered, “This guy must be counting on the big shots being in conference inside the State Guest House, thinking Young Master Han wouldn’t dare to make a big move. He’s underestimated the influence Young Master Han wields.”
Yang Qianqian was delighted, wishing she could see Chen Jinzhao kneeling and begging for mercy right now.
A fierce-looking bodyguard stepped out from behind Han Shangwen. It was less like a bodyguard and more like an assassin!
He exuded a strong killing aura, the kind that could only be accumulated from taking many lives.
Chen Jinzhao’s palm hovered in mid-air, waiting for the bodyguard to strike. The bodyguard said expressionlessly, “Arrogance and presumption will always come with a price.”
As the words fell,
He lunged with claw-like hands towards Chen Jinzhao’s wrist, his movements swift and fierce, like a storm!
Han Shangwen grinned.
It was clear the bodyguard intended to snap Chen Jinzhao’s wrist directly, which was far more brutal than using a blade. This was an excellent method for dealing with someone who had lost their mind.
The bodyguard’s eagle claws reached out, but he failed to grasp Chen Jinzhao’s wrist, who easily dodged. This caused the bodyguard to frown slightly. Without a word, he continued to grab for Chen Jinzhao’s wrist.
The exchange between the two was dazzling. Ordinary eyes could not even follow their movements.
Seeing this, Han Shangwen grew impatient and said in a low voice, “Don’t waste time with him. I want to see his severed palm now!”
“Yes!”
The bodyguard nodded.
However, the bodyguard was not entirely confident. He dropped his dismissive attitude and judged that Chen Jinzhao was not without skill.
Therefore, the bodyguard changed his offensive strategy. Instead of continuing to target Chen Jinzhao’s wrist, he launched a more ferocious assault on Chen Jinzhao’s entire person.
“Die!”
The bodyguard roared and threw a punch.
*Whoosh—*
The air crackled with explosive sounds, clearly the force of a terrifying punch.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiaotian sighed, “What good skills. I wonder how much longer he can last this time.”
Chen Jinzhao finally spoke, commenting, “Your skills are indeed good, but you’re still a bit short of the mark. Your martial arts aren't fully cultivated.”
The bodyguard threw over twenty punches, none of which could touch Chen Jinzhao. This agitated the bodyguard, making it difficult for him to remain calm. Hearing Chen Jinzhao’s taunt, he angrily retorted, “Don’t talk so glibly in front of me. I may not be the strongest, but killing you is like slaughtering a chicken or a dog!”
Chen Jinzhao secretly shook his head.
The arrogant would always pay a price, just like this bodyguard before him.
He stopped dodging and began to attack.
Facing the bodyguard’s sudden punch, Chen Jinzhao returned a punch!
Their fists collided. The bodyguard’s face changed drastically. With a cry of pain, he was sent flying backward. He felt Chen Jinzhao’s terrifying fist force and, the moment he was sent flying, he realized he was no match for Chen Jinzhao.
Han Shangwen’s expression shifted slightly. “No wonder he had the nerve to challenge me. It turns out his martial arts are decent.”
“But—"
“This is no longer an era where martial artists reign supreme. The power I wield is enough to crush you a hundred times over!”
“Ah Jiu, act!”
Ah Jiu was another bodyguard of Han Shangwen.
The two bodyguards surrounded Chen Jinzhao from left and right, making it seem as though Chen Jinzhao had nowhere to retreat.
Yang Qianqian turned to Zhu Xiaotian. Zhu Xiaotian swallowed and said, “Don’t worry. Perhaps he was just caught off guard earlier. Now that two masters are attacking simultaneously, he has no chance of survival.”
“I hope so,” Yang Qianqian whispered.
While the two were whispering, the two bodyguards launched a ferocious assault, determined to subdue Chen Jinzhao!
Facing the dense, storm-like barrage of attacks, Chen Jinzhao’s feet remained as steady as a rock. He didn't move an inch, using one hand to deal with each bodyguard.
Even so, he was still holding the upper hand.
The two bodyguards broke out in a cold sweat, realizing Chen Jinzhao’s strength far exceeded their imagination. Even working together, they could not overpower him.
The next moment.
Ah Jiu’s heart lurched in shock, his thoughts snapping back to reality. He saw a fist break through his defense and appear a dozen centimeters from his face. His pupils contracted sharply as if experiencing a major earthquake, and he stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.
He knew.
This fist would land on his face in 0.1 seconds!
He couldn’t even dodge!
In a flash, Ah Jiu had no time to react and was directly hit in the face by the fist! With a cry of pain, Ah Jiu was sent flying backward, nearly crushing Han Shangwen.
Han Shangwen dodged awkwardly, then glared at Chen Jinzhao with malice.
He then yelled at the remaining bodyguard, “What are you doing? How can it be so difficult to deal with an ant? You’re useless. How does our Han family train you?”
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jinzhao had already sent the remaining bodyguard flying.
Both bodyguards were incapacitated, lying on the ground like dead dogs. Han Shangwen’s eyelids twitched. He shifted his gaze from them to Chen Jinzhao.
“You—”
“Who in the world are you?”
On the other side.
Zhu Xiaotian and Yang Qianqian were also terrified.
In their eyes, Chen Jinzhao was bound to lose. Who could have imagined this outcome?
“Mr. Zhu, what should we do?” Yang Qianqian asked, somewhat panicked.
Zhu Xiaotian lowered his voice, “Don’t be afraid. We still have Young Master Han. This dog wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on Young Master Han.”
Yang Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Chen Jinzhao walked up to Han Shangwen. The latter stumbled backward in fear, but still feigned composure and shouted, “If you dare to touch me, I’ll ensure your entire family suffers.”
“You’ll kill my entire family? What a boastful tone!” Chen Jinzhao snorted.
Seeing that Chen Jinzhao did not press further, Han Shangwen thought he was intimidated and regained some confidence. He stopped retreating and said, “What, are you scared? I’m just saying I’ll teach your whole family a lesson. If they die, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Noble families, indeed. They live up to their reputation. I have truly witnessed it today,” Chen Jinzhao sighed.
Han Shangwen smiled and said, “You’re only witnessing it today?”
“Let me tell you, if you were in Donghai, I could make you disappear without a trace, and no one would ever know.”
This was a naked death threat!
Chen Jinzhao came back to his senses and said coldly, “If the Han family knew you were so arrogant, they would regret not disciplining you properly in the first place.”
“What do you mean by that?” Han Shangwen was furious.
Who was this madman who had appeared out of nowhere to lecture him?
Chen Jinzhao shook his head. “I don’t mean anything. I just want you to remember this. Since the Han family hasn’t disciplined you properly, I will discipline you on their behalf today.”
Han Shangwen opened his mouth, about to say something.
Chen Jinzhao’s palm lashed out, sending Han Shangwen flying onto the ground.
Zhu Xiaotian and Yang Qianqian were struck with terror and stood frozen, not daring to move! Zhu Xiaotian, in particular, knew Han Shangwen’s status within the Han family. If the Han family found out that Han Shangwen had been slapped in public, Chen Jinzhao would surely be executed!
“It’s over!”
“The Han family of Donghai will be enraged, and the entire Yangtze River Delta will face an earthquake of magnitude ten!”
