Chapter 57

Longwang reacted the fastest. When he saw Old Chen rush towards Ye Qiu, he quickly stepped forward and blocked Old Chen’s path.

"Get out of the way!" Old Chen punched out.

Longwang countered with a punch.

Bang!

The two fists collided with a loud explosion.

Instantly, Longwang felt an overwhelming force surge through his body, forcing him to retreat involuntarily.

Thud, thud, thud!

Longwang took seven or eight steps back but still couldn't stabilize himself.

Terrifyingly, with each step he took backward, the floor beneath his feet cracked.

Bang!

In the end, Longwang had to kneel on one knee to finally stop his retreat. Ignoring the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Old Chen in shock and asked, "Who are you?"

After being poisoned by the gu, Longwang's strength had been greatly reduced, but he was still a former Tiger List expert and had keen eyes.

The power of Old Chen's punch was comparable to that of a Dragon List expert.

Therefore, Longwang concluded that this old man was no ordinary person.

"The one who is about to die doesn't deserve to know my name. After I kill that boy, I'll deal with you."

Whoosh—

Old Chen rushed towards Ye Qiu again.

"Get out of the way quickly." Zhao Yun pushed Ye Qiu aside and stepped forward.

This time, Zhao Yun was smarter and didn't choose to confront Old Chen head-on, as Old Chen's strength was truly too formidable. If he did, he wouldn't even be able to block one of Old Chen's moves.

Zhao Yun took small, quick steps, dodging Old Chen's punches and continuously attacking him.

Of course, these attacks were feints. Zhao Yun was looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Old Chen.

However, he still underestimated his opponent's strength.

"Hmph, mere tricks." Old Chen coldly snorted, instantly changing his punch into a claw and casually swung it.

Rip—

Zhao Yun was immediately sent flying.

When everyone finally saw clearly, Zhao Yun's chest was torn, and a claw mark over a foot long extended from his shoulder to his abdomen, bleeding profusely and shocking to behold.

"Are you... Eagle Claw King Chen Tianzheng?" Longwang exclaimed, somewhat uncertain.

Old Chen chuckled, "I didn't expect you, a mere ant, to have some discernment."

It really is him!

Longwang's heart sank.

Chen Tianzheng had gained fame thirty years ago, ranking on the Tiger List multiple times, each time advancing higher. His highest rank was second on the Tiger List.

Because he was most skilled in Eagle Claw Kung Fu, he was given the title of Eagle Claw King in the martial world.

Nine years ago, Chen Tianzheng attempted to advance to the Dragon List but was defeated by the Wudang Sect's leader and subsequently disappeared.

Longwang never imagined that Chen Tianzheng would join the Xiao family and become Xiao Qingdi's servant.

What should I do?

This guy is ruthless. If I can't stop him, Ye Qiu will die, and Zhao Yun and I will likely meet a tragic end as well.

Longwang quickly thought of a strategy in his mind.

But at that moment, Chen Tianzheng rushed towards Ye Qiu again, his left hand forming an eagle claw and aiming directly for Ye Qiu's throat.

Ye Qiu quickly stepped back.

But in Chen Tianzheng's eyes, this was all child's play.

"Boy, dying at my hands is your honor." Chen Tianzheng's hand extended, only three inches away from Ye Qiu's throat.

Death was just a step away for Ye Qiu.

At that moment—

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew towards Chen Tianzheng.

Sensing the danger, Chen Tianzheng quickly retracted his hand and took two steps back to avoid the bullet.

Thud!

The bullet embedded itself in a pillar in the hall.

Panic ensued.

Ye Qiu quickly turned his head to look at the entrance of the banquet hall.

He saw a stunning woman sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a deep V-neck pomegranate red dress, her chest half-exposed, enchantingly beautiful.

Sister Lin!

Why is she here?

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, then noticed a young woman standing behind Lin Jingzhi.

The young woman had wine-red shoulder-length hair, a tall and slender figure, and long legs.

At that moment, the young woman slowly pushed the wheelchair with her left hand while holding a gun in her right hand, pointing it at Chen Tianzheng.

Chen Tianzheng's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Feng Youling shouted loudly,

"Lin Jingzhi, what do you mean by this! Firing a gun in public, do you want to go to jail?"

Feng Youling was extremely angry. Crystal Palace was his territory, and if others found out that a shooting incident had occurred here, the number of customers would definitely drop in the short term, and the hotel would lose a lot of money.

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing.

The most important thing was that this banquet was a welcome party he was hosting for Xiao Qingdi, and the elite of Jiangzhou society were gathered here. Lin Jingzhi firing a gun in public was a slap in his face.

These days, what do the rich value the most? Naturally, it's their face!

"Firing a gun is nothing, no one died." Lin Jingzhi said calmly.

Feng Youling was furious, coming to Lin Jingzhi's face and shouting, "Lin Jingzhi, get out of here now, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

"You invited me to the banquet and now you're kicking me out? What's the meaning of this? I can leave, but I'm taking him with me." Lin Jingzhi pointed at Ye Qiu.

"No! This person has offended Young Master Xiao, no one can take him away." Feng Youling said.

Lin Jingzhi narrowed her eyes and said sarcastically, "Feng Youling, are you Xiao Qingdi's dog? Is licking his boots useful?"

"Lin Jingzhi, you bitch..."

Before Feng Youling could finish his insult, the young woman behind Lin Jingzhi pointed the gun at him, and the words died in his throat.

Immediately, dozens of security guards from Crystal Palace rushed into the banquet hall, surrounding Lin Jingzhi and Ye Qiu.

The atmosphere became tense.

The guests retreated, staying far away, afraid of being accidentally injured.

Feng Youling took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "Miss Lin, this has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."

Lin Jingzhi pointed at Ye Qiu and said to Feng Youling, "His matter is my matter."

Hearing this, Feng Youling's eyes were filled with intense jealousy when he looked at Ye Qiu.

A mere doctor, why does he deserve the favor of two stunning beauties?

Why!

It's all this bastard's fault. If it weren't for him, would Lin Jingzhi have fired a gun in public and slapped my face?

Thinking of this, Feng Youling redirected all his anger towards Ye Qiu.

Slap!

Feng Youling suddenly struck out, slapping Ye Qiu. However, Ye Qiu was prepared and dodged Feng Youling's slap by stepping to the side.

"Spit!" Feng Youling spat on Ye Qiu and cursed, "You poor bastard, daring to compete with Young Master Xiao for a woman, you're asking for death!"

Looking at the phlegm on his clothes, Ye Qiu's eyes turned cold. This was a shirt his mother had bought, and it had cost a lot of money.

"Clean my clothes." Ye Qiu lifted his head and said coldly.

But at that moment, a shadow flashed by, and there was a loud "bang." The young woman behind Lin Jingzhi was thrown out of the door.

When Ye Qiu turned his head, he saw Old Chen standing in front of Lin Jingzhi.

"Bitch, daring to point a gun at me, you're asking for death." Old Chen slapped Lin Jingzhi.

Slap!

Lin Jingzhi was knocked to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu's eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists.
