The Dragon's Reverse Scale—Touch It and You Die!

"Yes, that's the brat! He's the one who injured Liu Liu!"

Meng Chen hated Ye Fan to the bone.

So the moment Ye Fan appeared, Meng Chen recognized him.

Slap!

A single slap sent Meng Chen spinning through the air before he crashed to the ground.

The corner of his mouth had split, his teeth had loosened, and the pain was unbearable.

"You bastard, and you still say it wasn't you! The ones behind him are Martial Warriors from the Star Martial Hall!" Meng Xiong roared.

No wonder he was so furious.

Though the Meng Family lorded over Jiangning City,

before the Star Martial Hall—a super overlord to Huaxia, Blue Star, and even the starry skies—

they were no more than ants.

They could be crushed to death with a casual pinch.

But damned if it wasn't unfortunate.

Today, his son had actually provoked the Star Martial Hall!

He did not know what relationship that brat named Ye Fan had with the Star Martial Hall.

But merely by seeing their formation and peering through the leopard from a single tube, he could tell that this group vaguely took that tall youth as their leader!

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

"Quick, connect me to Captain Gu at the Jiangning branch of the Candle Flame Martial Hall!"

Meng Xiong immediately ordered.

Very soon, a man's figure appeared in a holographic projection.

However, it was somewhat blurry, and his features could not be seen clearly.

"Captain Gu, this Star Martial Hall Martial Warrior squad barged into Meng Corporation headquarters..."

Meng Xiong had a fairly close relationship with this Captain Gu of the Candle Flame Martial Hall.

Over the years, he had gifted the man many treasures.

That was also one of the important reasons the Meng Family had been able to grow and expand so quickly.

"President Meng, this time, you've provoked someone you shouldn't have. According to the information I received, the other party is a Martial Warrior with Diamond Tier authority who activated his squad-summoning privileges."

"My advice is... sacrifice the carriage to save the commander."

The blurry figure spoke.

After saying that,

he directly cut off the communication.

"This..."

The entire Meng Corporation fell into shock and silence.

Even Elder Shen, who had been calm and utterly confident just moments ago, now suppressed his breathing to the extreme.

"Number Four in position!"

"Number Five in position!"

"Number Six in position!"

"Gunpowder in position!"

The voices of the Star Martial Hall squad sounded through the earpieces.

Numbers Four, Five, and Six, the three squad Martial Warriors, directly blocked Meng Corporation's exits.

On a distant platform, Gunpowder, a bald man wrapped head to toe in modern weapons, lay prone atop a high-rise building.

Anyone from Meng Corporation who intended to flee was within his killing range!

Of course.

His bullets were not ordinary bullets, but high-tech weapons capable of injuring even Spirit Stream Realm High Stage Martial Warriors.

They had been developed specifically to deal with mutated beasts and even traitors of the human race!

Their power was astonishing!

"Hey, brothers. Do you think that kid is the Martial Warrior with Diamond Tier privileges? Didn't he just enter the Spirit Stream Realm?"

"How did he manage that? Other than being a bit tall, he doesn't seem like much."

"Could he be the illegitimate son of some big shot from the Star Martial Hall?"

Gunpowder spoke into his earpiece.

"How would we know? Maybe the kid's talent is exceptional, and he signed a high-level Cultivation Contract with the Martial Hall."

Number Four said.

"He doesn't look like much. This time, it seems he summoned our Martial Warrior squad to settle a personal grudge through public means. Tsk, tsk..."

Number Six was female, and she sounded somewhat displeased as well.

Bzzzt...

Before Number Five could get a word in,

a piercing burst of static suddenly rang through their earpieces.

Naturally, Captain Leng Feng had intervened.

"Perform your duties. Stop wagging your tongues!"

Captain Leng Feng's rebuke came through the earpieces.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Dad, you have to save me! I don't want to die yet."

With air leaking through his broken teeth, Meng Chen lay at Meng Xiong's feet, snot and tears streaming down his face.

"You idiot, tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

Meng Xiong wished he could kick Meng Chen to death.

Meng Chen did not dare conceal anything and recounted everything one by one.

The more Meng Xiong listened, the darker his face became.

This brat truly had the guts of a lecherous devil now.

He had nearly caused someone's father to die, then intended to use it as leverage to snatch the two women of the Ye Family.

Meng Hui looked at his younger brother, whose brain had been overrun by lust, as though he were already dead.

If Father knew that Jin Lian had awakened S-rank Spiritual Aptitude,

he would probably kill him with one palm right now.

"Dad, I caused all of this. I'll run away."

Meng Chen was terrified now. He truly did not want to die.

"Difficult."

"Not to mention that with the Star Martial Hall squad deployed, people will certainly be guarding the exits. Even in the distance, there may be Martial Warrior snipers lying in ambush, capable of killing with a single shot!"

Elder Shen's gaze was dark and unfathomable, as though he could see the faint glint atop a distant building.

Ye Fan held the Bright Silver Spear, followed by Captain Wu Xie, First Squad Captain Leng Feng,

as well as Numbers One and Two, two Martial Warrior squad members.

The people inside Meng Corporation headquarters all stepped aside when they saw the group.

Martial Warriors!

In Huaxia, they enjoyed extremely high privileges.

Because they were guardians of Human Civilization. Like scientists, they were the backbone of the nation.

Ding!

The elevator reached the forty-ninth floor, and the bell rang.

The doors opened, and Ye Fan and the others strode out.

Before them stood Meng Xiong, Meng Hui, and Meng Chen.

Among them, Meng Xiong, the head of Meng Corporation, sat firmly in the seat of honor.

Meng Hui and Meng Chen stood on either side.

Elder Shen and the injured Liu Liu stood in a protective formation, able to advance to attack or retreat to defend.

Elder Shen in particular had his arms hanging down like two great pythons.

He could spring up and attack at any moment!

Moreover, it had to be said that Meng Xiong had become a giant of Jiangning City's business world, and the aura of authority he had cultivated over the years was indeed intimidating.

If an ordinary seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth had seen him, he would certainly have been frightened and felt his own presence shrink by three parts.

That would have placed him at a disadvantage.

However, Ye Fan had aspired to pursue the martial path from a young age, to improve his family's life and protect the people he cherished.

His Willpower of twenty-two points alone showed that his mentality far surpassed that of his peers!

Furthermore, awakening the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body had gradually changed Ye Fan's temperament, giving him an innate aura of dominance.

The imposing formation Meng Xiong displayed had no effect on Ye Fan whatsoever!

Whoosh!

The Bright Silver Spear pointed straight at Meng Chen as Ye Fan said coldly, "Meng Chen, you caused my father to be gravely injured and hover at death's door, then used it to threaten my sister into becoming your plaything. If that had truly happened, it would probably have driven my mother to death as well. With such a blood debt, tell me... how should it be settled?"

At those words,

cold light flashed through Wu Xie's eyes. Since he had come to Jiangning, he had placed all his bets on Ye Fan.

And that second young master of the Meng Family had actually intended to destroy Ye Fan's family and kill them all. He truly deserved death!

Leng Feng, the black-faced, stubble-bearded captain of First Squad,

also became like an icy blade drawn from its sheath at those words.

It made Elder Shen's scalp go numb.

Although his Vitality Value was comparable to Leng Feng's, there was no doubt that in a fight to the death, he knew he would surely die!

"According to Huaxia law, anyone who attempts to coerce or harm Martial Warriors of the three great Martial Halls, or their families, shall be beheaded if the circumstances are serious!"

Leng Feng spoke in an icy voice.

At those words, Meng Chen completely panicked.

At that moment, he stared at Ye Fan in utter terror, a sentence surfacing in his mind:

The dragon's reverse scale—touch it, and you die!
