"It's over!"
"That palm strike will finish him!"
"He shouldn't have provoked a Grandmaster!"
"No matter how strong Miss's boyfriend is, he can't possibly match a Grandmaster, let alone Old Master Tang, a Grandmaster ranked in the top ten of the Black List!"
"Miss, get out of the way!"
Inside the Jiang Family villa, the members of the Jiang Family couldn't help shouting.
That palm strike from Tang Luo would probably kill the young man outright!
Poison Hand Tang Luo!
Top ten of the Black List!
That palm strike really was meant to take Chen Zheng's life!
"Old Master Tang!"
As the palm strike was about to crash into Chen Zheng, Jiang Fang furrowed his brow and prepared to stop Tang Luo. Whatever the young man's identity, this was still the Jiang Family's home. If Tang Luo killed the young man here, where would that leave the Jiang Family's face?
So, with that thought, Jiang Fang was about to move to stop Tang Luo.
"Smack!"
But!
But the instant he moved, Chen Zheng moved too-and faster than him. Chen Zheng swung a slap. His palm never touched Tang Luo, striking only empty air, but a sharp crack rang out in the air. A trace of astonishment suddenly appeared on Tang Luo's vicious face, and then his entire body flew backward with a boom, utterly beyond his control!
"Boom!"
"Ow!"
"Master!"
An immense force blasted Tang Luo out through the Jiang Family's front entrance. Not just Tang Luo-even the people he had brought were blasted out along with him!
"What!"
Jiang Fang blinked, first looking at Old Master Tang, who had been blasted outside, then turning to stare at Chen Zheng in astonishment.
This... how was this possible!
Tang Luo was, after all, a Grandmaster in the Black List's top ten. Apart from the three Great Grandmasters in China's Ancient Martial Arts World, Tang Luo was unquestionably a top-tier Ancient Martial Arts expert. The boyfriend his daughter had brought home looked like a young man of barely twenty. How could he have broken Tang Luo's poison hand with a single slap, and even sent a seasoned Grandmaster with such profound martial prowess flying outright with that same slap?
This... had to be fake!
"He's that strong?"
"Old Master Tang was blasted outside!"
"Miss's boyfriend actually... defeated Poison Hand Tang Luo, and with just a casual slap!"
At that moment, everyone from the Jiang Family in the hall stared dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief. They were utterly stunned.
"...Young Master Chen..."
Uncle Qian was completely dazed too.
Earlier, Chen Zheng had severed all of Tang Qisheng's meridians with one kick, which had already given him a shock. This time, Chen Zheng had sent Old Master Tang flying with a slap. This went beyond mere shock. Uncle Qian suddenly felt that none of it was real-utterly unreal!
What had just happened was far too unreal!
"A Grandmaster is nothing more than this."
Chen Zheng shook his head lightly and spoke without concern.
"Mwah!"
Jiang Rou giggled and planted a kiss on Chen Zheng in front of everyone. This guy was strong, really strong. No wonder even Great Grandmaster Yu Canghai called him Senior.
Besides, he was her best friend's older brother. She and Chen Zhi were so close-it seemed that actually having Chen Zheng as her boyfriend wouldn't be bad!
"Brat! Who's your master?" After being blasted out of the Jiang Family's home with one slap, Tang Luo's aged face had turned exceedingly dark. Clutching his chest, he walked up to the entrance. After staring at Chen Zheng, he turned his gaze on Jiang Fang. "Jiang Fang, ask your father to come out and uphold justice. I demand justice!"
"My master? I don't have one." Chen Zheng shook his head, then suddenly gave a mysterious smile. "Oh, Grandmaster, a reminder: I used a little technique in that slap. But it seems you haven't noticed yet. Your standard as a Grandmaster really is rather low."
What?
Tang Luo froze.
Everyone else was taken aback too.
"Pfft!"
But in the very next second, Tang Luo's expression changed drastically, and blood sprayed from his mouth. Clutching his chest, he stared at Chen Zheng in horror and raised his other hand to point at him, while his body kept staggering backward!
"You! You! How could you possibly! My! My cultivation! I... pfft!"
As he staggered backward, Tang Luo suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood, then collapsed to the ground with a crash!
"Master!"
"Heavens!"
The two young men Tang Luo had brought were now trembling uncontrollably with fear. They looked at Chen Zheng as though they were looking at a devil!
"Is he dead?"
After a brief silence, a Jiang Family servant couldn't help asking.
Jiang Fang furrowed his brow, walked out of the hall, and approached Tang Luo. He reached out to check Tang Luo's pulse, and a flash of horror passed through his eyes.
Crippled!
Poison Hand Tang Luo had been crippled!
That young man had crippled a Grandmaster in the Black List's top ten with a casual slap!
This... just what was the background of the young man his daughter had brought home? How could he be so terrifying!
"His True Qi is completely gone. He's an ordinary person now."
Jiang Fang stood up, turned around, and spoke in a lowered voice.
"So Grandmasters really aren't much. I only put a little strength into that slap."
Chen Zheng smiled faintly.
"Gasp!"
Everyone from the Jiang Family sucked in a breath of cold air at those words!
A little strength!
He had crippled a Grandmaster with one slap, yet claimed he had only used a little strength. Was that true or false? If it was true, this young man was far too terrifying!
"Take Old Master Tang home."
Suppressing the horror in his heart, Jiang Fang ordered the servants to take Tang Luo and his family home.
"A Grandmaster... I'm a Grandmaster... I'm in the Black List's top ten... I won't lose... This is fake, this is fake... Jiang Boyue, come out... I demand justice! I demand justice!"
Lying on the ground, Tang Luo seemed to come back to his senses, gritting his teeth as he let out one low growl after another.
"Tang Luo, you provoked someone you shouldn't have."
Just then, a sigh came from upstairs, followed by a figure descending from above and landing in the living room.
"Dad..."
"Grandpa!"
"Master!"
In the hall, Jiang Fang, Jiang Rou, Uncle Qian, and the others called out to the figure almost simultaneously.
The figure was none other than the Jiang Family's old master, Jiang Boyue, one of the three Great Grandmasters in China's Ancient Martial Arts World, ranked in the Black List's top three!
Old Master Jiang glanced once more at Tang Luo lying on the ground and shook his head again. Then his gaze settled on Chen Zheng, and he began studying him. His expression began to shift as well, his brow sometimes tightly furrowed, his face sometimes wild with joy.
After studying him for several minutes, Old Master Jiang suddenly took half a step forward and dropped to one knee, bowing respectfully to Chen Zheng. "Jiang Boyue, successor of the Jiang lineage, pays his respects to the Ancestral Master!"
What!
Ancestral Master!
This...
"Pfft!"
Hearing those words, Tang Luo's eyes bulged, and he spat out blood, passing out on the spot!
As for Jiang Fang, Uncle Qian, and the other members of the Jiang Family, they too were dumbfounded. Their old master, a Great Grandmaster at the very pinnacle of China's Ancient Martial Arts World, had actually paid such an immense show of respect to a young man. Not only that, he had even addressed this young man as Ancestral Master. Surely this was impossible!
Incomprehensible!
At that moment, they simply could not comprehend it, so every one of them stood frozen like a wooden carving!
