The scene instantly fell deathly silent, and everyone turned to look toward the Su Family's main gate.

After Li Haishan saw who had arrived, his pupils abruptly constricted, and instinctive fear rose in his heart. But when he remembered that Su Chen had long since been crippled, he let out a cold laugh:

"Isn't this our Bright Moon City's famous genius? I thought you were going to hide in the Su Family for the rest of your life."

He emphasized the word "genius," and his scorn was obvious.

It would have been fine if Su Chen had not come out. But now that he had, Li Haishan naturally had to ridicule him properly.

Su Chen's expression was indifferent. He cast a cold look at Li Haishan, and for some reason, Li Haishan suddenly felt his hair stand on end, as if some terrifying beast had locked onto him.

After a while, Su Chen said calmly:

"Actually, trash like you isn't qualified to be my enemy. But you're too noisy."

"You came to challenge me, didn't you? I accept."

Su Chen's words spread through the scene, and everyone widened their eyes, staring at him in disbelief.

"I didn't hear that wrong, did I? That cripple actually agreed to fight Young Master Li."

"Does he still think he's the genius he used to be? With Young Master Li's current strength, one punch would probably leave nothing of Su Chen but scraps."

"Perhaps he has gone mad and can no longer think rationally."

Mocking cries rang out. None of them had ever imagined that Su Chen would accept. This was simply too absurd.

The Su Family had two young men from its direct line, and both of them could not help exclaiming:

"Young Clan Leader, you mustn't!"

"Fifth Prince, calm down!"

They were Su Qingyun's eldest son, Su Minghu, and Su Yunpeng's second son, Su Kongshan.

Their faces were filled with worry. No one understood Su Chen's condition better than the Su Family. Being awake and able to walk normally was already an achievement. How could he possibly defeat Li Haishan, who was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage?

"Xiao Chen!"

Just then, a deep voice rang out. Su Yuanba walked out of the Su Family, and the aura of the Nascent Soul Late Stage on his body was intensely oppressive, making everyone's hearts tighten.

They dared to mock Su Chen, but that did not mean they dared to mock the Su Family.

After all, everyone was mocking Su Chen. It was not as if the Su Family could kill them all, right?

Su Yuanba hurried to Su Chen's side, his face filled with pleasant surprise. "Xiao Chen, are you all right now?"

Su Chen did not hide anything. He smiled and nodded.

"Fourth Uncle, I'm almost fully recovered."

Su Yuanba's hand trembled as he gently patted Su Chen's shoulder. "Good, good, good."

Those three words alone were enough to show how deeply he cared about Su Chen.

But right after that, Su Yuanba said helplessly, "Xiao Chen, Li Haishan's purpose is to humiliate you. You absolutely mustn't let him get his way."

Su Qingyun also came over and said gently:

"Chen'er, Third Uncle will tell you something from the heart. Your cultivation has been crippled, but our Su Family doesn't look down on you. We'll also do everything we can to solve the problem with your spiritual root."

"There are some supreme treasures in this world that can repair spiritual roots. The Su Family will find one for you."

"Come home with us, all right?"

They all understood that Su Chen could not swallow this humiliation. But the facts were already laid bare: Su Chen's cultivation had been crippled, and if he fought Li Haishan, he was certain to lose.

He had not the slightest chance of victory!

Besides, Su Chen's injuries had only just recovered. He might not even be able to defeat an ordinary person, so how could he possibly defeat Li Haishan?

As he listened to their concern, a warm current flowed through Su Chen's heart. He said with complete confidence:

"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, don't worry. I'll be fine."

Su Yuanba and Su Qingyun immediately grew anxious, but after looking into Su Chen's resolute eyes, they knew they could no longer stop him.

Even if they forcibly dragged Su Chen back to the Su Family, so what? As long as he could not let go of the fact that his cultivation had been crippled, then even if Su Chen merely eked out an existence in the Su Family, it would be no different from being dead.

Su Qingyun sighed helplessly and moved aside.

Since things had come to this, they could only save Su Chen at the critical moment.

His elder brother had only one son. No matter what, they could not let anything happen to him.

Li Haishan looked at Su Chen and said with a cold laugh, "If you have the guts, follow me to the Martial Arena."

He headed straight toward the Martial Arena. It was where duels and competitions were usually held, and powerful cultivators often fought there, so it was always bustling. Every day, plenty of people went to watch the battles.

Li Haishan had specifically chosen this place simply because he wanted to make Su Chen lose face.

Su Chen said calmly, "Why go to all that trouble? We'll settle it here."

Li Haishan halted, then turned to look at Su Chen and sneered.

"Su Chen, don't tell me you're afraid I'll kill you, so you deliberately want to fight in front of the Su Family's gate?"

"Ha ha ha ha, so this is the genius? It turns out even a genius can be this cowardly."

A chill flashed through Su Chen's eyes. His figure instantly vanished from where he stood. When he appeared again, he was already beside Li Haishan.

Pfft!

Su Chen casually waved his hand, and a savage wound appeared across Li Haishan's abdomen, blood pouring out without end.

The Spiritual Energy in his body also rapidly leaked from the opening in his abdomen.

"Weren't you mocking me for being a cripple? Then experience for yourself what it feels like to be one."

Su Chen naturally would not kill Li Haishan so easily. He wanted to tell everyone: I, Su Chen, have returned.

Li Haishan's body trembled as he fell to his knees. He stared at the blood gushing from his abdomen and the weakness spreading through his body, completely dumbfounded.

What had happened?

He had not even seen Su Chen attack, yet his cultivation had already been crippled.

And besides, hadn't Su Chen been crippled? How could he possibly still possess such strength?

Li Haishan's pupils were filled with despair and regret. If he had known this would happen, he should never have come to seek revenge. With his cultivation crippled, even if he managed to survive, he would only be a lowly ant for the rest of his life.

The Nascent Soul Realm expert from the Li Family underwent a drastic change in expression, his face filled with fury.

"You dared to cripple Li Haishan? Die!"

Li Haishan was the greatest genius in their clan. At worst, he would become a Nascent Soul Stage expert in the future. Yet now Su Chen had crippled him. How could he not be enraged?

Su Qingyun hurriedly recovered from his shock and roared, "Li Qiu, how dare you!"

Li Qiu's eyes were filled with madness. "You crippled our clan's genius! Su Chen must die!"

An incomparably powerful force poured out, accompanied by terrifying pressure. The faces of the onlookers nearby changed drastically.

A battle between Nascent Soul Realm experts was no joke. The slightest mistake could easily injure bystanders, and those with weaker cultivation might even die in the shockwaves.

Su Qingyun's eyes nearly split with rage. It was too late!

Li Qiu was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, and his strength was not much different from Su Qingyun's.

He had been stunned for a moment at the beginning, and by the time he rushed over to stop him, he was already half a beat too late.

Damn it!

"Chen'er, get out of the way!"

Su Qingyun could only roar this way, hoping Su Chen would dodge, though the possibility was extremely slim.

Even if Su Chen's cultivation had recovered, he was only at the Core Formation stage. How could he dodge an attack from a Nascent Soul Realm expert?

Su Chen let out a cold laugh and looked at Li Qiu with a chilling tone. "What are you supposed to be? How dare you yap in front of me?!"

His icy voice rang out. Su Chen moved even faster than Su Qingyun, his fist blasting forward like a cannonball.

Bang!

With just one exchange, Li Qiu was sent flying. His entire body was driven dozens of meters into the ground, and cracks resembling a spiderweb spread outward.

Li Qiu no longer had any breath left.

The sudden turn of events left everyone wearing astonished expressions.

"Li Qiu... is dead! Su Chen killed the Li Family's Nascent Soul Realm elder! Wasn't his cultivation crippled? Why does he possess such terrifying battle prowess?"

A terrified voice rang out, instantly causing a huge uproar. Shock and fear surged through the eyes of countless people.
