Qin Fengwu sighed inwardly.
As he withdrew his gaze, he shook his head slightly, believing that Chen Jin Zhao should have surrendered.
However, he understood Chen Jin Zhao's thoughts. If it were himself, he probably wouldn't surrender easily either.
If he surrendered voluntarily, would he still be Chen Jin Zhao?
Bai Zhen gave Chen Jin Zhao a thumbs-up, then pointed abruptly at the ground, "You, Chen Jin Zhao, are no longer my opponent."
Chen Jin Zhao was also sighing in his heart.
His strength had indeed declined too much, and he could do nothing about Bai Zhen.
But—
If Chen Jin Zhao in his prime were here, would Bai Zhen dare to be so arrogant in front of him? Thinking of this, Chen Jin Zhao felt even more sorrowful.
Seeing that Bai Zhen was about to launch the next round of attack, Chen Jin Zhao suddenly said, "I surrender."
As the words fell.
Everyone was shocked.
Even Qin Fengwu looked at Chen Jin Zhao in surprise.
No one had expected that Chen Jin Zhao, the once renowned God of War, would surrender. After all, Chen Jin Zhao had just said he would not surrender voluntarily.
The contrast was too great, making it difficult for people to react.
Bai Zhen, one of the parties involved, also paused, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, didn't you just say you wouldn't surrender? It seems you've realized you're no longer my opponent. Your peak has passed, and the future no longer belongs to you."
Chen Jin Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, without further response.
"Wait!"
Bai Zhen called out to Chen Jin Zhao as he saw him about to turn and leave.
Chen Jin Zhao turned back and asked in a low voice, "What else do you want?"
Bai Zhen said with a smile, "Since you lost, shouldn't there be some gesture? Otherwise, just leaving like this is too boring."
"Bai Zhen, what exactly do you intend to do?" Qin Fengwu asked.
Bai Zhen, confident of Li Tian Ce's backing, was not afraid of Qin Fengwu's reprimand, "Young Master Qin, I'm just playing around with Chen Jin Zhao, there's no need to be nervous."
"What do you want?" Chen Jin Zhao retorted.
Bai Zhen said with a grin, "How about you kneel down and kowtow a few times? The loser should have the attitude of a loser, how can you leave so easily?"
The crowd in the banquet hall was immediately in an uproar.
This request was too excessive, and anyone would find it unacceptable.
Qin Fengwu was about to reprimand Bai Zhen again, but Li Tian Ce, before he could speak, said with a smile, "Qin Fengwu, they're just playing around, it's no big deal."
Chen Jin Zhao's gaze fixed on Bai Zhen.
The other party's eyes were full of mockery, which was extremely irritating.
After a moment of stalemate, Bai Zhen laughed heartily again, "Don't stare at me like that, I'm just joking with you. You were our great hero back then. If I were to do something like that, I would be condemned by the world. However, you are indeed no longer capable of holding a high position. Why don't you work under me in the future? I will give you the respect you deserve."
This was another way of humiliating Chen Jin Zhao.
Chen Jin Zhao was once the youngest general in Hu Guo, but now he had fallen to this state.
A dragon in shallow waters is harassed by shrimp, a tiger on the plain is bullied by dogs.
"What do you say?" Bai Zhen asked playfully.
Chen Jin Zhao stared at Bai Zhen, a surge of anger burning in his chest.
He had firmly remembered Bai Zhen's name, and if there was an opportunity in the future, Chen Jin Zhao would definitely not let him off easily.
Reality taught Chen Jin Zhao one thing: kindness was useless.
Villains fear power, not virtue.
"Nothing," Chen Jin Zhao replied.
Bai Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "You are no longer the Candle Dragon now, you can afford to lower your stance a bit. Being too arrogant is not a good thing."
Chen Jin Zhao ignored him and prepared to return to his seat.
"Wait a moment!"
A loud shout came from the entrance of the banquet hall.
Everyone, including Chen Jin Zhao, turned their confused gazes towards the entrance.
At the entrance of the banquet hall stood two strong young men. As Chen Jin Zhao saw the one leading them, his eyes flickered a few times.
Wu Gang!
Standing behind him was another face that Chen Jin Zhao found familiar.
After a careful look, Chen Jin Zhao finally remembered this person's name—Luo Feng. He didn't expect them to appear in such a place.
"Who are these idlers? This is not a place for you. Get out!" Bai Zhen said.
In a sense, this represented Li Tian Ce's will.
Wu Gang ignored him and walked into the banquet hall with Luo Feng. Li Tian Ce's men couldn't sit still and immediately stepped forward to stop them, but Qin Fengwu suddenly said, "Guests are welcome, there's no need to be confrontational."
Bai Zhen naturally did not listen and wanted to intimidate the two.
Wu Gang and Luo Feng walked up to Bai Zhen, their gazes sharp, even giving off a strong sense of gunpowder.
"Bai Zhen of the Cang Long Special Operations Team from Yan Jing?" Wu Gang tilted his head and sized him up.
"I've heard your name."
Bai Zhen snorted, "Yes, so what?"
Wu Gang said coldly, "I am Wu Gang of the Zhu Long Special Operations Team, here to challenge you."
A trace of killing intent emanated from Wu Gang, causing the expressions of the people in the banquet hall to freeze. They all realized that Wu Gang had come to stand up for Chen Jin Zhao! Wu Gang had grown rapidly in the past three years, achieving great merits and becoming renowned throughout the world.
"There's no need for our vice-captain to act, I'll deal with you!" Luo Feng stepped forward.
Bai Zhen frowned, "And who are you?"
Luo Feng puffed out his chest and announced his name, "I am Luo Feng of the Zhu Long Special Operations Team, code-named Blood Bee!"
Upon hearing this code name, everyone held their breath.
If Wu Gang was the dazzling new star in the past three years, then Luo Feng, code-named Blood Bee, was even more dazzling.
"It's you?" Bai Zhen raised an eyebrow.
"What do you want?"
Before Wu Gang could speak, Luo Feng said, "Of course we want to challenge you. You challenged him when my Brother Chen was injured, it's utterly shameless! As Brother Chen's subordinate, I should avenge Brother Chen."
Bai Zhen smiled without speaking.
Luo Feng continued, "Where were you when Brother Chen was at his peak back then? Now you jump out to bully Brother Chen, which shows you're just a clown!"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Bai Zhen shook his head repeatedly.
Luo Feng snorted, "My strength is not as good as Brother Chen's at his peak, but I am a seed he personally cultivated. I don't need Brother Chen at his peak to make a move; I can suppress you with one hand! Bai Zhen, I just ask if you dare to accept my challenge?"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Luo Feng's boast was too great, wanting to suppress Bai Zhen with one hand!
One must know that Bai Zhen was the main force of the Cang Long Special Operations Team. Few people other than Li Tian Nan were Bai Zhen's match.
Where did Luo Feng get his confidence?
Wu Gang did not stop him, but walked to Chen Jin Zhao's side, clearly trusting Luo Feng very much.
Bai Zhen remained silent for a long time before letting out a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"Blood Bee, huh? You are just a newly promoted A-class, still lacking quite a bit compared to a veteran A-class like me. Chen Jin Zhao was not my opponent, and you are even less likely to be!"
"If you want to challenge me, I will fulfill your wish!"
