The instant the palm wind struck the burly man's body, he became like a deflated ball.
His entire body nearly folded in half as he was sent flying backward!
At first, the burly man felt no pain at all. He even felt a warm glow inside his body.
But he did not know that this was the result of severe hemorrhaging from all his internal organs!
Then, he felt as though ants were crawling all over his body, and waves of bone-piercing pain came one after another!
He lay on the ground in a miserable state, yet there appeared to be nothing wrong with him from the outside.
Chen Xiongfei even shouted at him, "Hey, how do you usually cultivate?"
"How did you get sent flying by a single palm strike?"
"Get up already! Don't fucking disgrace Thunderclap Hall!"
Faced with Chen Xiongfei's rebuke, the burly man also wanted to stand up.
But he simply could not do it!
No matter how hard he exerted himself, a sharp pain would flood every limb and bone in his body.
In the end, he could not even breathe.
Because with every breath, he could even smell the thick stench of blood within his own body!
"B... Big Brother..."
Until the final moment of his life, the burly man failed to utter a complete sentence.
He simply collapsed stiffly onto the ground and lost his breath amid boundless agony.
As for Gu Chen, he remained seated beside the table with a calm and composed expression.
He even called out to the waiter, "Why is the service attitude at your inn so terrible?"
"Hurry up and bring me your finest wine and meat!"
At the time, the waiter and the innkeeper were hiding together around the stairway corner, not even daring to breathe loudly.
The moment he heard Gu Chen call for him, the waiter was so frightened that his courage nearly shattered!
However, the innkeeper hurriedly pushed the waiter out.
After all, Gu Chen clearly did not seem like someone to be trifled with. They did not dare offend him either!
The waiter was already trembling like a sieve as he shakily carried over a bowl of stewed meat and a jar of wine.
Seeing how terrified the waiter was, Gu Chen found it utterly puzzling.
He could not help asking, "Is there really any need to be this scared?"
"Aren't they just people from Thunderclap Hall? In all of Immortal County, they do not even rank among the notable ones."
"You are actually afraid of people like this?"
Gu Chen's words immediately made Chen Xiongfei burn with even greater fury.
He felt that Gu Chen had killed two of his subordinates for no reason and had even shown such contempt for Thunderclap Hall.
He had already set himself upon the road to death!
With that thought, Chen Xiongfei roared, "Brat, if I don't twist your head off today, my surname isn't Chen!"
The moment his words fell, the spectators outside the inn discovered that Chen Xiongfei had vanished from where he stood!
Chen Xiongfei was so fast that before anyone could react, he had already arrived before Gu Chen!
At the sight, everyone's jaws dropped.
Most of them could not help whispering among themselves.
"Chen Xiongfei is a renowned figure in Thunderclap Hall. At such a young age, his Cultivation Level has already reached the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level. He is terrifying indeed!
"Who says otherwise? Around here, who wouldn't tuck their tail between their legs upon seeing someone from Thunderclap Hall? This kid is simply courting death today."
"But that kid killed that fellow with one palm strike just now. He must have some ability."
"Ability, my ass! Look, he has not even reacted, and Chen Xiongfei is already right in his face!"
Just as these people had already imagined Gu Chen's miserable death.
A scene that left everyone dumbfounded appeared.
Chen Xiongfei's massive body suddenly froze before Gu Chen.
At first, no one understood what had happened.
Then, they discovered in shock that one of Chen Xiongfei's arms had actually vanished without a trace!
Just moments ago, Chen Xiongfei had rushed toward Gu Chen with all his internal energy unleashed.
Even the ground where he had just stood had cracked in several places from the eruption of his internal energy!
Yet just as Chen Xiongfei was about to touch Gu Chen.
Gu Chen merely raised a hand lightly, and Chen Xiongfei immediately felt his entire body grow much lighter.
In confusion, he looked to the side.
Only to see that his right arm was gone!
Gu Chen waved his hand disdainfully and said, "You're this brittle, and you still have the nerve to come out and collect protection money?"
Chen Xiongfei simply could not believe his own eyes.
Gu Chen had not even done anything. He had merely raised his hand.
And Chen Xiongfei's arm had been broken with ease!
One had to know that Chen Xiongfei's Cultivation Level had already reached the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level.
Even within all of Thunderclap Hall, such a Cultivation Level was considered quite exceptional!
Chen Xiongfei's body was extraordinarily tough. Even if blades and swords slashed directly at him, they might not leave a wound.
Yet before Gu Chen, such Cultivation Level appeared utterly vulnerable.
His entire body was as fragile as tofu!
Chen Xiongfei's eyes immediately filled with confusion and terror.
Just what was the background of this young man, who looked so weak that even the wind could knock him over?
As Chen Xiongfei was still thinking this, a heart-piercing pain suddenly came from his severed arm.
A massive amount of blood gushed out without stop. Chen Xiongfei staggered two steps back, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his face from the pain!
Ever since joining Thunderclap Hall, Chen Xiongfei had long since lost any concept of "pain."
But today, facing Gu Chen, the agony of losing his arm made Chen Xiongfei wish he were dead!
Moreover, Chen Xiongfei discovered in shock.
Gu Chen seemed to have used some exceedingly special cultivation technique, causing his wound to remain unable to heal.
Blood flowed continuously, and Chen Xiongfei's face soon turned deathly pale.
Upon witnessing all this, the waiter was so frightened that his soul nearly flew from his body, and he fainted on the spot.
The innkeeper was likewise so terrified at the stairway corner that he could not utter a single word!
As for the people watching outside the inn, every one of them wore an expression of horror.
Many of them even broke out in cold sweat, their hearts skipping half a beat!
"H... How is this possible?"
"Chen Xiongfei's arm was just broken like that?"
"Fake, this must be fake! Chen Xiongfei is at the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level!"
"If this kid can snap Chen Xiongfei's arm so easily, then his Cultivation Level must have reached at least the Innate Realm!"
"The Rookie Competition is about to be held. As expected, a group of untouchable living immortals has arrived in Immortal County!"
Everyone promptly changed their previous opinion of Gu Chen, feeling that this person was absolutely not someone to provoke!
Seeing Chen Xiongfei injured, his sole remaining subordinate hurriedly ran over.
"Big Brother, are you all right?"
