"Ye Luo, we... we should leave."
Li Wanqin said somewhat worriedly.
"Whoever dares to hurt my woman must pay the price."
Ye Luo said coldly as he walked up to Shen Yunlong.
At this moment, Shen Yunlongâs body was stiff, unable to utter a word, but as he watched Ye Luo approach, cold sweat continuously seeped from his forehead, and his heart was filled with extreme fear, yet he was unable to move.
"Donât worry, I wonât kill you. But remember how you said you wanted me to taste what itâs like to live rather than die? Today, Iâll let you have a taste."
The corner of Ye Luoâs mouth twisted into a devilish grin.
A second later, Ye Luoâs hands moved rapidly, directly striking Shen Yunlongâs body. Seconds after that, Ye Luo pulled out the silver needles from his body, and Shen Yunlong collapsed on the ground, letting out a blood-curdling scream of agony.
"Yunlong!"
Suddenly, a group of people rushed into the room, led by the Shen Family Head, Shen Changfeng, and a host of others from the Shen Family.
However, when they saw the scene inside the room, their eyes revealed an expression of shock, especially seeing Shen Yunlong lying on the ground and screaming in unbearable pain, their faces turned pale with surprise.
Shen Changfengâs entire body released a terrifying aura, his eyes flashing with intense anger as he glared at Ye Luo, his overpowering presence locking onto him.
"What have you done to my son?" Shen Changfeng asked with an ice-cold voice.
"I didnât do much, just broke all 108 bones in his body, but donât worry, he wonât die."
Ye Luo said nonchalantly.
The Shen Family members took in a sharp breath, their pupils dilated, and were utterly shocked.
To break over a hundred bones, how ruthless was that!
Shen Changfeng immediately became enraged, his fury knew no bounds as he lunged towards Ye Luo. With a palm carrying an endless might, he pressed down on Ye Luo, unleashing the formidable aura of an Innate Late Stage expert with his attack.
At that moment, Shen Changfeng seemed to become the master of the space, the aura of the Innate Late Stage was incredibly terrifying. Even Ye Luo found it somewhat hard to resist, but when he saw the other partyâs palm strike, Ye Luo still activated the Nine Yang True Qi to resist with all his might.
Bangâ
After the strike, Ye Luo staggered backward, retreating more than a dozen steps before he could stop himself, his face flushed with a rush of blood, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion turning somewhat pale.
"Boy, you really think my Shen Family is undefended, humiliating my family members like this. Today, I definitely canât spare you!"
Shen Changfengâs eyes, like those of a tiger, flashed with raging fury as he stared at Ye Luo. His aura continued to climb, and the immense pressure enveloped the area, making everyone in the room feel a heavy oppression, causing their breathing to become rapid.
"All of this is your sonâs own doing. The number one family in Zhonghai is nothing special after all!"
Ye Luo responded unceremoniously, his eyes devoid of any fear, his body brimming with battle will.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing that Ye Luo was still so arrogantly defiant at this point, Shen Changfeng became thoroughly furious, his aura surging, whipping up a violent gust of wind.
The sharp wind howled, as even the air currents of the void were extinguished within this fierce wind. The anger in Shen Changfengâs heart had reached a boiling point.
"Die!"
A sound reminiscent of a dusk drum and a dawn bell erupted from Shen Changfengâs mouth, as if pronouncing Ye Luoâs doom and responding to any challenge against the Shen family.
"Ye Luo!!"
Li Wanqin sat there, her eyes filled with deep worry as she looked at Ye Luo, but she was powerless to help.
As soon as the word "die" fell, Shen Changfengâs figure appeared in front of Ye Luo. The terrible aura enveloped Ye Luo, making him feel incapable of moving. A palm gathering 90% of Shen Changfengâs strength surged down towards Ye Luo to annihilate him.
With Shen Changfengâs Innate Late Stage strength, 90% of his power was enough to kill any expert at the Innate Middle Stage, let alone Ye Luo, who only possessed the strength of the Innate Early Phase.
However, Shen Changfeng was unaware that Ye Luo was no ordinary Innate Realm Early Phase martial artist. He had previously faced an expert from the Maple Leaf Organization at the Late Stage of the Innate without fear.
Although with Ye Luoâs current strength it was difficult to defeat an expert in the Late Innate Stage, it wasnât easy for his opponent to kill him either.
The Nine Yang Mystic Art was activated to its limit, True Qi surged throughout his body, and the Nine Yang True Qi from the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians crazily gushed out, shrouding his body in a yellow glow.
Ye Luoâs Clairvoyant Eye opened, and his opponentâs palm strike seemed infinitely slowed in Ye Luoâs vision, while he also executed the Wandering Dragonâs Hundred Steps.
Whooshâ
Just as Shen Changfengâs ferocious palm strike was about to hit Ye Luo, his figure inexplicably vanished from view, the palm hitting the wall behind where Ye Luo had stood instead.
Immediately, the wall exploded with a bang, leaving a huge hole, and the entire wall quickly cracked into a spiderweb pattern.
Shen Changfengâs pupils constricted, a flash of amazement in his eyes as he turned to look at Ye Luo, who had darted to the other side.
"It seems I have truly underestimated you, but to think you could escape from my palm with merely the strength of the Early Innate Stage is pure fantasy."
As Shen Changfengâs disdainful voice sounded, he didnât hold back at all. Unleashing 100% of his strength, both speed and power reached their limits. Even with Ye Luoâs Clairvoyant Eye activated, it was somewhat difficult to defend against the opponent who was two realms higher than him.
Moreover, as the Family Head of the Shen family, Shen Changfengâs True Qi was incredibly profound. Even at the Late Innate Stage, he was one of the top figures and could break through to the Innate Peak stage at any moment.
With such a formidable opponent attacking Ye Luo with all his might, great pressure was suddenly placed upon Ye Luo.
Bang!
After fending off dozens of moves with the Clairvoyant Eye and Wandering Dragonâs Hundred Steps, Ye Luo was finally struck by an opportune palm hit to the chest. Flung backward, he crashed into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion ghastly pale. From his body flew out an object, a red notebook.
Seeing the notebook, Shen Changfengâs eyes narrowed, and he moved. The red notebook fell into his hands, and as he opened it, his gaze suddenly sharpened with shock as he looked at Ye Luo.
"Youâre with the Security Bureau?"
Clearly, the notebook was Ye Luoâs identification with the Security Bureau, bearing the bureauâs emblem and steel seal.
"And even holding the rank of Major!"
Looking at the two words âMajorâ on the notebook, Shen Changfengâs eyes grew more surprised. Evidently, he hadnât expected Ye Luo to be an agent of the Security Bureau or to hold a Majorâs rank. With such a rank, Ye Luoâs status within the Security Bureau was certainly not low.
"Cough cough..."
Ye Luo coughed, slowly standing up and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes sparked with a trace of brilliance as he watched Shen Changfeng:
"Thereâs much you donât know. So, whatâs it going to be? Continue to fight, or not? I must remind you, if you kill me today, I canât guarantee that the Security Bureau wonât cause you trouble. After all, the murder of a member of the Security Bureau with the rank of Major is no small matter."
