Chapter 20

"Hmph! A mere nobody, in my eyes, you are nothing but an ant. I can kill you with just one move."

Li Changhong snorted coldly, his body suddenly trembling as the aura of the Qi Sea Realm instantly spread out. He fiercely punched towards Jiang Chen, the wind from his punch making the air crackle. His fist was adorned with a brilliant light, and it looked as if he was going to knock Jiang Chen down with one punch.

"Weak."

Jiang Chen shook his head. The dragon pattern in his dantian suddenly vibrated, and his bones made a cracking sound. Jiang Chen smoothly threw a punch, and his iron-like fist collided with Li Changhong's.

Bang!

The two fists met, and the void trembled. The residual energy spread out, creating a wave of air. However, the outcome of this first clash left everyone stunned.

Thud, thud, thud!

Li Changhong took three steps back, each step causing a strong impact on the battle platform. Under the powerful counterattack from Jiang Chen, Li Changhong's entire arm felt numb and his qi and blood were in disarray, making him look extremely embarrassed.

"What?"

Li Changhong exclaimed in shock, his face turning pale. He looked up at the motionless Jiang Chen, his heart surging with waves of shock. Such an outcome was beyond his wildest imagination.

Reaching the Qi Sea Realm at the age of twenty indicated that he had extraordinary talent, far surpassing ordinary early-stage Qi Sea Realm experts. When he clashed with Jiang Chen, he could sense that the other's Qi Sea had not even been opened, and he only had the cultivation of the Ninth Stage Qi Realm. Yet, Jiang Chen had managed to knock him back with one punch, which was too hard to believe.

The Qi Realm was merely the foundational stage. When cultivators were in the Qi Realm, their primordial energy was spread throughout their limbs and body. Only after opening the Qi Sea in the dantian could they fully condense their primordial energy. This was the difference between the Qi Realm and the Qi Sea Realm.

However, Jiang Chen, who practiced the Dragon Transformation Technique, stored his primordial energy in the dragon pattern. Even without opening the Qi Sea, his primordial energy was already condensed.

"How could this be?"

Meng Rongzhan's originally smiling face instantly froze.

"Amazing, he even forced back a Qi Sea Realm expert with one punch. How strong is Jiang Chen?"

"Such formidable power, I feel like Jiang Chen hasn't even used his full strength. This guy is too insane."

"Suppressing a Qi Sea Realm expert with the Qi Realm is truly rare. If that guy loses, the Meng family will have brought the stone to crush their own feet."

Many people were shocked. Jiang Chen's performance exceeded everyone's expectations, and his dominance was somewhat terrifying. His body stood on the battle platform like Mount Tai, unshakable.

"Good, very good."

Jiang Zhenhai laughed heartily, all his worries gone. Having such a son was like having a green smoke rising from the ancestral grave, no, it was like the ancestral grave exploding.

"Unworthy of a single blow, I only used seventy percent of my strength."

Jiang Chen's eyes were full of disdain. Such disdain was a huge irony for Li Changhong, who had been arrogant just moments ago.

Jiang Chen's words and disdainful gaze were like a sharp thorn piercing Li Changhong's heart, severely damaging his self-esteem.

"Jiang Chen, don't think you've won just because you gained the upper hand with one move. I haven't even used my techniques yet. Yellow Brightness Finger!"

Li Changhong's aura surged again. He brought his hands together and thrust out a finger, instantly forming a huge, pale yellow finger that rushed towards Jiang Chen.

This was a powerful finger technique, a lower-grade human-level technique.

Seeing such a crude finger technique, Jiang Chen laughed outright. Compared to his Six Yang Mystic Finger, the Yellow Brightness Finger was nothing but trash.

"I won't play with you anymore."

Jiang Chen moved, his blood surging like a dragon. The veins on his fist were exposed, resembling a dragon, and he threw another punch at the Yellow Brightness Finger. With his strength, he didn't even bother to use any battle techniques against Li Changhong.

Boom!

Energy surged, and Jiang Chen's fist could destroy everything. The Yellow Brightness Finger was shattered into pieces, turning into specks of yellow light that disappeared.

The massive backlash forced Li Changhong to take two more steps back, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was no match at all. Li Changhong was utterly crushed by Jiang Chen.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen moved like a dragon, appearing in front of Li Changhong in the blink of an eye. His hands, like iron clamps, grabbed Li Changhong's shoulders and lifted him high.

"Taste the feeling of being a human punching bag."

Jiang Chen's arms trembled, and he slammed Li Changhong onto the hard battle platform.

Bang!

A dull impact sound, accompanied by the bone-chilling sound of bones breaking.

Ah!

Li Changhong let out a scream, and all the spectators were stunned. The Qi Sea Realm expert was defeated too thoroughly.

But it wasn't over yet.

"Let you show off."

Jiang Chen lifted Li Changhong again, raised him high, and slammed him down.

Bang, bang, bang...

Each collision produced a bone-chilling sound, making people's hearts race. Even those who had already seen Jiang Chen's ruthlessness were still taken aback by this scene.

Screams and blood splattered everywhere. Li Changhong became a plaything in Jiang Chen's hands, completely unable to fight back. Such torment would even break an iron man. Everyone knew that Li Changhong's fate was dire.

"Stop!"

A loud shout came from the Meng family crowd, and an old man suddenly leaped onto the battle platform.

"Brat, don't you dare stop. You dare to touch the young master of the Li family of Chicheng?"

The old man was furious, and even he hadn't expected Li Changhong to be defeated so quickly and thoroughly. By the time he reacted, Li Changhong was already in a terrible state.

"What? The Li family of Chicheng, he is actually the young master of the Li family of Chicheng?"

"Finished, now Jiang Chen has caused a huge disaster."

Hearing about the Li family of Chicheng, many people were shocked again. Even those who didn't know the Li family had heard of Chicheng. The forces in Chicheng were far beyond those in Tianxiang City. If Jiang Chen had beaten the Li family's young master to this extent, it would be a serious matter.

Just as everyone thought Jiang Chen would be cautious due to the Li family of Chicheng's reputation, his actions once again stunned everyone.

"Old man, don't you know the rules of the life-and-death battle platform? Get the hell down."

Jiang Chen shouted, his foot fiercely stomping on Li Changhong's already bloodied face.

Arrogant! Reckless! Tyrannical!

Everyone felt an overwhelming aura from Jiang Chen's not-so-imposing body. It was a world-defying arrogance, a confidence and tyranny that came from the depths of his bones, something that couldn't be faked.

Even knowing the identity of the Li family of Chicheng, he still acted as he pleased, stomping on his enemy and scolding a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert.

Regardless of today's outcome, Jiang Chen's aura alone had already won over everyone, making many people's blood boil.

This was a tyrannical genius. If it were any of the others present, they would absolutely lack such courage and demeanor.

"Chen'er."

Jiang Zhenhai exclaimed, his face turning pale. He hadn't expected Li Changhong to be the young master of the Li family of Chicheng. He knew very well how powerful the Li family was, and they were absolutely not to be offended.

Moreover, Jiang Zhenhai made a move to jump onto the battle platform, as the mid-stage Qi Sea Realm elder posed a great threat to Jiang Chen.

"Father, I will handle today's matter alone. No Jiang family member shall participate. We must follow the rules of the life-and-death battle platform and not act like some trashy dogs who can't accept defeat."

Jiang Chen's aura surged, and he spoke loudly, his presence like that of a king.

"Damn, what a man."

"Too dominant, men should be like this. If I could be this dominant one day, even if I die, it would be worth it."

"Can't break the rules of the battle platform, get down. Life and death are determined by fate on the life-and-death battle platform."

"Exactly, who set the rules before? Now that you've lost, are you going to cheat?"

Many people, influenced by Jiang Chen's aura, began to shout loudly. The Li family of Chicheng was indeed terrifying, and they couldn't afford to offend them, but people's dissatisfaction could still be expressed.

Today's duel was initiated by the Meng family, and they even invited outsiders to participate, which was already despicable. Now, they wanted to break the rules of the battle platform, which was even more shameless.

Looking at Jiang Chen, his actions were indeed ruthless, but this was a life-and-death battle, where either you die or I live.

"Old man, get the hell down, or I'll blow his head off."

Jiang Chen shouted at the old man.

"Brat, you dare?"

The old man was also furious. As a member of the Li family, no one had ever spoken to him like this. If it were under normal circumstances, he would have slapped the other person into a pulp. But now, his young master was under the other's foot, and his life was unknown.

"Scared? I'll show you."

Jiang Chen had never been threatened by anyone. This old man was nothing to him.

Thus, in front of everyone, Jiang Chen waved his hand, sending a beam of light like a sword towards Li Changhong's head.

Pfft!

Li Changhong's head exploded, blood splattering the entire battle platform. Li Changhong twitched a few times and then lay still.

Wow!

The entire crowd was in an uproar. Many people close to the battle platform turned pale, almost vomiting at the sight of Li Changhong's exploded head.

Too brutal, too violent. This scene was too much for the average person to handle.

No one had expected Jiang Chen to kill so easily, not accepting any threats. From his demeanor, it was clear that he would kill regardless of whether it was the young master of the Li family or even the son of a king.

"What?"

Such a scene made the old man and Meng Rongzhan exclaim in shock. Li Changhong's death was a huge matter.

"Brat, I'll tear you apart."

The old man was enraged. Seeing his young master's head explode in public, he had no way to explain it when he returned. He had to kill Jiang Chen.

"Tear me apart? Let's see who gets torn."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light. Even facing a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert, he was not afraid. The dragon pattern in his dantian rippled, and he pointed his fingers like a sword, fully unleashing the Six Yang Mystic Finger.

Whoosh!

A brilliant golden finger beam shot out, like an invincible sword, rushing towards the old man.
