CHAPTER 536: CHAPTER 534: THREE MOVES_1

The moment they touched, Ling Chen remained unmoved. However, the chair he was sitting on suddenly burst into powder. Meanwhile, Black Snake had to retreat several steps before stabilizing himself.

This kid is rather peculiar, A hint of surprise emerged in Black Snake’s eyes. In the moment of contact with Ling Chen, he felt a surge of Soft Power erupt from Ling Chen’s palms, which shockingly dispelled all of his leg power.

Furthermore, in that instant, Ling Chen’s aura skyrocketed several levels, but after the exchange, it immediately fell back to its original state.

This control of aura indicated that Ling Chen’s strength was much more profound than it appeared. If he wanted to, he could burst forth at any moment.

This brief altercation revealed Ling Chen’s true strength. The eyes in the hall filled with astonishment. At such a young age, he could hold his own against a Half-step Sky Apex Realm powerhouse like Black Snake. Such a person was rare, even in the entire Martial World.

Generally speaking, the younger someone is when they can challenge those at higher levels, the greater their Cultivation talent and potential. Given Ling Chen’s age, anyone with discerning eyes could see that with enough time, he had the potential to become a Top Sky Apex Strong. Furthermore, if his fortune was sufficient, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to even reach the legendary Saint Realm.

Black Snake’s expression fluctuated. He, too, had not expected Ling Chen, at such an age, to possess the strength to repel him. This boy is definitely not a nobody; there must be a major power backing him.

I really misjudged this time... Black Snake inwardly sucked in a cold breath. The killing intent that had filled his mind moments ago was doused as if by a bucket of cold water. When he first received the news, he had been blinded by rage. He hadn’t expected that after rushing over with his men, his opponent would turn out to be this terrifying.

Under the surrounding gazes, Black Snake’s face alternated between pale and flush, his thoughts turning rapidly.

After a moment, he retracted his murderous aura, cupped his fist towards Ling Chen, and said solemnly, "My skills are inferior. I will remember this grudge and come to settle it another day."

After speaking, he waved his hand, about to lead his men away in some embarrassment.

"Wait."

Ling Chen’s voice came from behind, causing Black Snake to halt. He turned around to see Ling Chen, who still appeared calm and unperturbed. Ling Chen then continued, "Boss Black Snake, you’re known as Blackwater City’s most notorious ruffian. According to the rules of Blackwater City, since there’s a grudge between us, how can we just let it go like this? If no blood is shed, this matter cannot be concluded today."

Ling Chen didn’t want to cause trouble, but if he was indifferent when someone came knocking with ill intentions, it would be hard to justify.

Black Snake stiffened and looked at Ling Chen. In the latter’s eyes, a hint of killing intent also flickered.

"What do you want? This is Black Market territory," Black Snake said, his expression changing slightly as he sensed the chill in Ling Chen’s eyes.

"Take three moves from her. If you can withstand them, you can leave. If not, you die!" Ling Chen said lightly, pointing to Liu Feiyue beside him.

Seeing Ling Chen suddenly pointing at her, Liu Feiyue was taken aback for a moment. Then, a teasing smile emerged on her lovely face.

All eyes followed Ling Chen’s finger and landed on the woman, who was as pure as ice and jade, a beauty beyond compare. A strange expression appeared on their faces. This guy, he actually wants such a delicate, stunning woman to fight Black Snake?

Black Snake was also stunned for a moment before fury surged in his heart. This damn bastard! It seems he not only wants to kill me but also wants to humiliate me thoroughly in the process! If I lose to this woman, I probably won’t have the face to stay in Blackwater City anymore.

But is there some scheme here? Is this woman also someone with a powerful background? If I injure her, will Ling Chen then find other excuses to make things difficult for me?

Ling Chen, however, ignored him and turned to Liu Feiyue with a smile. "Go ahead. No need to hold back; you won’t be held accountable even if you kill him."

"Okay."

Although Liu Feiyue appeared gentle and demure, she was one of the Four Outstanding Talents. For her, killing was as commonplace as eating. She interlaced her fingers, pressed her knuckles together slightly, and a sharp CRACKLING sound erupted from them. Taking small steps, she walked towards Black Snake.

"You asked for this! I, your old man, have no habit of going easy on beautiful women. If anything happens to her, you’ll only have yourself to blame!" Seeing Liu Feiyue approach him with a smile, Black Snake’s anger flared even more, and he snarled at her through gritted teeth.

However, even as he spoke, Liu Feiyue was already before him. Her slender, jade-like hand was raised and then, under the somewhat mocking gazes of the crowd, she sent a direct punch straight at Black Snake.

The moment she struck with her palm, a sonic boom suddenly resounded through the inn’s main hall. Immediately, the clamorous voices died down, and all eyes stared in astonishment at the giant Palm Seal that seemed to materialize beneath her palm, pressing into the very air.

The instant the sonic boom sounded, Black Snake’s expression changed drastically. The True Qi within his body surged forth almost at the same moment.

The True Qi surged out, but before Black Snake could even heave a sigh of relief, the corners of Liu Feiyue’s lips suddenly curved into a smirk. Her palm was already upon him. Then, an overwhelming and terrifying force slammed heavily into Black Snake’s chest.

PFFT!

The True Qi covering the surface of his body was instantly shattered by the terrifying power of the Palm Seal. Liu Feiyue’s palm landed squarely on his chest. Immediately, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, a mouthful of blood violently spurted out.

The fresh blood congealed into a mist in mid-air, while Black Snake’s body shot backward rigidly, like a heavily struck sandbag. The tables and chairs he collided with along the way instantly shattered into powder. After flying back for tens of meters, he finally slammed hard against a massive pillar, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.

The hall fell dead silent, all eyes fixed on Liu Feiyue and the blood-spitting Black Snake. No one would have imagined that such horrifying power was concealed within her delicate and seemingly weak body!

Beyond their shock, all eyes turned to Ling Chen, who had maintained a faint smile from beginning to end. He seemed even more unfathomable now. To think his female companion was this powerful!

Just who were these two? And what kind of terrifying background did they possess?

To this, Ling Chen just smiled. Liu Feiyue is, after all, one of the Four Outstanding Talents. Black Snake is, at best, merely the leader of a minor power in the Black Sand Land. How could he possibly be Liu Feiyue’s opponent?
