Only the one taking Li Chen's blows knew that his opponent could kill him with a single slap. Li Chen had already held back, making him feel pain without injuring his meridians or bones.
Being able to do that proved that the other man's strength surpassed his own by far more than a little.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, the Dragon-Horned General brought his younger sister before Li Chen.
He looked at Li Chen, wanting to say something, but ultimately left it unsaid.
Then he sighed, placed Ao Jiao's hand in Li Chen's, and said, "Since you possess this kind of strength, I can entrust my sister to you without worry. But that doesn't mean I approve of you."
Having said that, he called for the Sea Clan soldiers beside him to leave.
But a deputy general chose that unfortunate moment to point at Ao Jiao and say, "General, didn't His Majesty tell us that once we found the princess-"
Before he could finish, the Dragon-Horned General slapped him.
"What princess?"
Seeing the fury on the Dragon-Horned General's face, the deputy general caught on and declared that he had seen nothing. Seeing him get slapped, the other soldiers also began playing deaf and dumb.
Only then did the Dragon-Horned General lead the soldiers away in a grand procession.
Once he was far away, Ao Jiao finally came to her senses and immediately pulled her hand from Li Chen's, her cheeks flushing.
What had just happened was rather awkward. Apparently, her brother had mistaken Li Chen for Jun Zhantian.
After calming down, Ao Jiao bowed to Li Chen and said apologetically, "That was my older brother. Thank you for showing mercy. He doesn't know that the person I'm helping is Jun Zhantian, which is why he said that."
