"Leave something behind?" Chen Hui's gaze turned to Li Si, who had been standing behind Jiang Linjun without any reaction. He said calmly, "The Chen Hui of the past has always lived in Li Si's shadow. Now that I have repented, I naturally need to leave behind Li Si's shadow. From today on, Chen Hui and Li Si have no more connection."
For some reason, upon hearing Chen Hui's emotionless words, Li Si's shadow trembled slightly. But soon, her beautiful eyes were filled with intense shame and anger, "Chen Hui, stop putting on your one-man show. What virtue or ability do you have to be connected to me, a waste of space?"
"That's right. This Chen Hui is too full of himself. I think he's doomed today. Jiang Linjun will never let him off."
"Hmph, even if he is doomed, it's his own fault. Ever since he walked into the room, I felt he was acting strangely."
"I hope Jiang Linjun can show some mercy later, otherwise the Chen family will really be erased from Qi Wang City."
Jiang Linjun's face also showed a mocking smile, "Si'er is right. You, a waste of space, are too full of yourself. It seems I need to take action to make you see clearly. Otherwise, you won't know what situation you're in now."
As he spoke, Jiang Linjun showed no regard for the killing intent in his heart. He flipped his palm and struck directly at Chen Hui's forehead.
"What?"
Seeing this, everyone's faces changed. Jiang Linjun's palm was clearly using full force and showed no mercy. If Chen Hui was hit, even if he survived by some miracle, he would likely be brain-damaged for life.
"Brother..."
Even Chen Yan, who had just gained some confidence in Chen Hui, felt her heart tighten.
Only Chen Hui, as he watched Jiang Linjun's palm strike his forehead, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Your thoughts are so malicious. Even if I don't resolve this today, I'll make you learn a lesson."
With this thought, Chen Hui suddenly moved his feet. As he moved, his body followed a strange trajectory.
Whoosh...
Jiang Linjun's palm almost grazed Chen Hui's temple.
"Huh?" Jiang Linjun was slightly stunned, not expecting Chen Hui to dodge his palm. But he didn't bother to think much about it and prepared to attack again.
Slap!
However, at that moment, he felt a huge force hit his right cheek, accompanied by a burning pain.
Peng...
Under this force, even Jiang Linjun, with his peak Fourth Rank Warrior strength, couldn't help but fly away. His body spun twice in the air before landing on the ground in a very狼狈 manner.
"What?"
Those who saw this scene in the room immediately opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief and shock.
"What just happened? Wasn't Young Master Jiang going to hit Chen Hui, the waste of space, into brain damage? How did Young Master Jiang get slapped by Chen Hui?"
"This... What's wrong with Young Master Jiang? How could he be slapped by Chen Hui? Did Young Master Jiang get distracted?"
"There's no reason. Young Master Jiang is a peak Fourth Rank Warrior. Even if he was distracted, he wouldn't be defeated by Chen Hui, a Third Rank Warrior. And... he was slapped away in one hit!"
Compared to the shock of the crowd, Chen Yan appeared relatively calm, "Brother, are you okay?"
Chen Hui shook his head, then looked at Jiang Linjun, who was lying on the ground not far away, with a cold gaze, "Let's go back."
After saying that, Chen Hui turned around and walked out of the room, ignoring the gazes of the crowd.
"Stop!"
However, at that moment, Jiang Linjun suddenly stood up, but he was holding his right cheek with one hand. Even without a mirror, he could imagine the clear handprint on his face. His shame and anger were overwhelming, and he roared, "Chen Hui, you actually dared to hit me. I will never let this go. I challenge you to a life-or-death duel in the Arena of Combat."
"Life-or-death duel in the Arena of Combat? Jiang Linjun actually challenged Chen Hui? This is a joke, right? Jiang Linjun is a peak Fourth Rank Warrior. Once in the Arena of Combat, the duel only ends with one's death."
"What about a peak Fourth Rank Warrior? Didn't you see how decisively Chen Hui slapped Jiang Linjun just now? If it were me, I would make the same decision after such a humiliating act."
"Hmph, Young Master Jiang made a mistake just now, giving Chen Hui, the waste of space, a chance. Young Master Jiang's challenge is an honor for Chen Hui. I wonder if he dares to accept."
When Jiang Linjun finished speaking, everyone in the room focused their gazes on the two of them.
No one expected the situation to escalate to this point. Jiang Linjun, a peak Fourth Rank Warrior, challenging Chen Hui, a Third Rank waste of space?
If this had been mentioned before, it would have been considered absurd. But after seeing Chen Hui mercilessly slap Jiang Linjun away, no one thought Jiang Linjun's actions were inappropriate.
This humiliation could only be washed away by a life-or-death duel.
However, they also knew that Chen Hui would not easily accept Jiang Linjun's challenge, as it involved life and death.
"Chen Hui, will you accept or not? If you don't, I'll cripple you right now and make you a true waste of space." Jiang Linjun was a bit worried that Chen Hui wouldn't accept his challenge. He wanted to act directly, but considering he had already lost face, acting now would be too lenient on Chen Hui.
He wanted to make Chen Hui fall into despair and die in despair. Only then would it be enough to vent his anger.
When Jiang Linjun issued his challenge, Chen Hui had already stopped. Hearing Jiang Linjun's words again, Chen Hui's expression didn't change, remaining calm, "A life-or-death duel, then a life-or-death duel. But I'm busy these days. Let's set it for three days from now."
After saying that, Chen Hui didn't care whether Jiang Linjun agreed or not and walked out of the room without looking back.
"Fine, at noon three days from now, I'll be waiting for you in the Arena of Combat." Jiang Linjun narrowed his eyes as he watched Chen Hui's back.
