The Beating of Cao Lie! After Beating the Dog, Beat the Master!

Yet just as Cao Lie's palm was about to touch Jiang Bei—

Jiang Bei suddenly moved. A large, well-jointed hand shot out and pressed directly onto Cao Lie's shoulder.

Then it suddenly exerted force!

"Bang!"

"Aah—!!"

Cao Lie let out a shrill scream as the flesh on his shoulder violently exploded!

With a thud, the enormous force forcibly pressed him down onto one knee!

No one had reacted to this sudden turn of events!

The disciples who had been waiting to watch a good show were all stunned, their eyes wide as they refused to believe what was before them!

The entire plaza fell deathly silent. No one dared even breathe too loudly!

Jiang Bei looked down at Cao Lie with icy eyes and spoke grimly, his voice ringing through the plaza:

"I had intended, as a newcomer, to leave you so-called 'senior disciples' a little dignity. I never expected you to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."

"Who gave you the dog guts to speak to me like that?!"

"You want to fight? You want to court death?"

"Fine!"

"I'll grant your wish!"

Before his words had even faded, without giving Cao Lie a chance to struggle, Jiang Bei's hand on his shoulder suddenly tightened, his five fingers clamping down!

Under countless horrified gazes, Cao Lie was grabbed one-handed by Jiang Bei like a torn sack, then smashed brutally down onto the hard plaza floor!

"Boom—!!!"

Cao Lie spat out a mouthful of blood. His body blasted out a huge crater, and it felt as though every tendon and bone in him had shattered.

"Y-You bastard!"

He struggled to speak, but his words came to an abrupt stop halfway through!

Jiang Bei seized his hair and lifted his head from the bottom of the crater, then—

**"Boom!
