In that instant, it was as if time had frozen, and the world fell into a moment of silence.
Following this, a pitiful cry completely shattered this short yet terrifying silence.
"Ahhh!!!!"
The ground beneath Ling Chen's feet shattered, and his feet sunk into the ground. However, his lower body didn't move at all, and he didn't even take a single step back. Only his upper body was tilted backwards. As for Murong Xiong Tian … as he screamed, his body was sent flying like a giant sandbag, and with a 'boom', he smashed into the solid wall of the hall.
The entire hall trembled, and the chandelier in the center swayed and almost fell. The wall that Murong Xiong Tian had smashed into instantly shattered. If it wasn't for the fact that it was 1 meter thick, Murong Xiong Tian would have smashed through it.
"Chief Murong …"
"This … this …"
They had thought that Ling Chen would be smashed into a bloody pulp, or that he would be sent flying. However, the person who was smashed wasn't Ling Chen, but Murong Xiong Tian! Murong Xiong Tian had used all his strength in that attack, but the result was simply unbelievable.
Everyone rushed up, trying to help Murong Xiong Tian up. However, his body had already been embedded into the thick wall, and no one could help him up.
The people who were originally close to Ling Chen all retreated in fear. Su Hong Cheng and Su Yi Cheng were also dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
This was the person who had single-handedly caused the Long family to suffer such a calamity … the person who had single-handedly injured four of the Long family's seven main forces … the person who had killed Xiao Lang, defeated Murong Xiong Tian and Xuanyuan Dao … the person who was wanted by the Long family throughout the nation …
Even though they knew more about the Long family's disaster than ordinary people, and even though they had heard many exaggerated descriptions of how terrifying this person was, seeing this person send Murong Xiong Tian flying with his full strength, they were so shocked that their hearts almost stopped. This was especially so for Su Hong Cheng and Su Yi Cheng, who were familiar with Murong Xiongtian's terrifying power. At this moment, they felt their scalps go numb and their throats go dry as a chill ran up their spines.
This person … was he a person, or a monster?!
Murong Xiong Tian's right arm was shredded into countless pieces, and his entire right arm drooped down. Soon, lines of blood appeared from the back of his hand to his shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, his entire right arm was dyed red. His right hand's fingers were twisted at an abnormal angle … from his pinky to his thumb, they were all broken. The area between his thumb and forefinger was bleeding profusely.
He ignored everyone's attempts to support him, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his body. He looked up at Ling Chen with great difficulty, and his eyes were a deathly grey colour. His lips moved as he muttered in a hoarse voice, "Impossible … Impossible …"
That day, he had completely defeated Ling Chen in terms of physical strength, and he had lost because he had been careless, allowing Ling Chen to hit him with a single blow. This was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered, and he wanted to take revenge on Ling Chen. Today, he had unexpectedly met Ling Chen again, and he had challenged him to avenge his humiliation. However, he never would have thought that he would lose so miserably in a battle of strength.
"Impossible? Why is it impossible? " Ling Chen took a step forwards as he coldly laughed, "Murong Xiong Tian, you always thought that I was weaker than you, and that you lost to me that night because you underestimated me and were careless. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have lost to me … haha, what a joke. You've always been talking about your 'carelessness', but why haven't you thought about how long I've been fighting, how many people I've killed, how many injuries I've suffered, and how much blood I've shed before I fought with you … I can tell you that before I fought with you, I've already killed more than two thousand people, including a large number of top-notch experts from the secret forces. I was hit by more than three hundred bullets and had countless wounds of various sizes, especially the Battle Wolf Squad. They had given me more than twenty near-fatal wounds. I had lost more than half of my blood. I was mentally exhausted to the point that my vision was blurry and my consciousness was hazy. My stamina was near the end of its tether and my battle power wasn't even at one-tenth of my peak state. It was in this state that you appeared … I also fought with you in this state. "
Murong Xiong Tian's eyes widened, and his face paled.
"Heh, I've defeated you even though I'm on the brink of death. That's right, I was able to defeat you when I was half-dead. If I was in my normal state, defeating you would have been as easy as flipping my hand. Yet, you think that you lost because you were careless, or else you could have easily defeated me … I don't understand where you, Chief Murong, get this sort of confidence from. You want to compete with me in strength? Last time, I couldn't even move my arms and legs, so of course I was weaker than you. But now … your strength is barely enough in front of me. "
Ling Chen's words were filled with arrogance, and he didn't give Murong Xiong Tian any face. He didn't even put the leader of the seven secret forces in his eyes. Murong Xiong Tian's eyes dimmed, and he didn't say anything. Apart from feeling ashamed, he couldn't even feel angry. With such strength, Ling Chen had the right to look down on him.
Murong Xiong Tian was strong, this was something that no one could deny. He was publicly acknowledged as the strongest esper in Hua Xia, and was a peerless genius. Before meeting Ling Chen, apart from Xuanyuan Dao, he had never lost to anyone else. The reason why he was able to achieve so much in his middle age was because of his talent, as well as his hard work.
However, how could his talent and hard work compare to Ling Chen's? Murong Xiong Tian was strong, but he was still a 'human'.
As for Ling Chen …
Although he had only been in Heaven for 3 years, during those 3 years, Ling Chen had been on the brink of death almost every minute and second. He had to use his strong willpower and spirit to break through his own limits time and time again in order to survive. He had experienced life and death situations that a normal person would not be able to experience in a thousand lifetimes, and had broken through countless times. Ling Chen's power had long since surpassed the limits of what a human could achieve.
At the same time, his body had become like a monster after being soaked in the Mad Scientist's special medicine. The Mad Scientist was terrifying, and whenever Ling Chen thought about him, he would still feel fear from the depths of his heart. This fear came from the Mad Scientist's terrifying intellect and strength. Any one of the things in 'Heaven' that he had been in could cause an earthquake in the medical world.
During those years in Hell, Ling Chen had been dancing with the god of death, absorbing all sorts of abilities at an insane speed …
How could a genius among humans be compared to a monster who had experienced countless life and death situations and breakthroughs, and whose body had been completely modified?
Murong Xiong Tian fell completely silent. This blow was enough to make him unable to recover for a long time. What he had said to Ling Tian was that there was always someone better than him in the heavens, and that there was always someone better than him in the heavens.
The hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Su Hong Cheng and Su Yi Cheng both broke out in a cold sweat. Even though they knew that the Long family wanted to get rid of this person, they didn't dare to give the order to capture or kill him. How could the Su family deal with someone who had defeated Murong Xiong Tian with a single blow and flipped the entire Long family upside down? If they angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable. Right now, they could only pray that this person wasn't here to cause trouble. They had to stabilize him and send him away as soon as possible … after he walked out of the Su family's gates, they would immediately notify the Long family, and then it would be up to the Long family.
Su Hong Cheng gestured with his eyes to quickly carry the unconscious Murong Xiong Tian away, then let out a long breath as he calmly said, "You're so young, but you were able to defeat Murong Xiong Tian. You're indeed incredible … incredible … it could be said that you're the first person I've seen in my life. Even though I'm older than you, I can't help but admire you. May I ask why you've come to the Su family today? I don't think there's any enmity between you and the Su family … if there's anything you need our Su family's help with, please tell us. Our Su family is very happy to be friends with a young man like you. "
None of the people present felt that it was strange for Su Hong Cheng to say something like this … They could only stay calm against this monster-like man. They absolutely could not fall out with him or start a conflict. Otherwise, it was very likely that a terrifying disaster would immediately occur.
Ling Chen slightly smiled. Because he was Su 'Er's father, Ling Chen was quite courteous to him, "Mayor Su, you're too courteous. I don't have any enmity with the Su family, and I'm not here to cause trouble for the Su family, nor do I need your help with anything … "
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Su Hong Cheng and Su Yi Cheng both let out a sigh of relief … as long as he wasn't here to cause trouble for the Su family, then Ling Chen continued, "I'm here because there's something I don't like."
"Something you don't like?" Su Hong Cheng frowned.
"That's right." Ling Chen's smile disappeared, and his voice became cold, "I've long heard of princess Su 'Er's great name, and felt that a girl like her was incredibly rare. She's so kind and gentle, and it's only right that she should be happy. However, not too long ago, I heard that Mayor Su wanted to marry her off to trash like Xuanyuan Xue Yi … I simply couldn't accept this, so I personally came here to interfere. No matter what, I can't allow princess Su' Er's life to be ruined like this."
"Who … Who are you insulting?!" Xuanyuan Sheng and Xuanyuan Xue Yi both flew into a rage, especially Xuanyuan Xue Yi. His face instantly darkened, and his gaze became incredibly sinister … as the heir to the Xuanyuan family, he had grown up surrounded by countless people, and had never been insulted like this before.
Su Hong Cheng also frowned as anger rose within his heart. He coldly said, "Young man, you're going too far with your words. No matter how you look at it, Xuanyuan Xue Yi is one in a million. Within the younger generation of Hua Xia, there aren't many people who can compare to him. This is something that everyone in Beijing knows. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with him. What right do you have to say that he's so bad? Moreover, Xue Yi is completely sincere towards Su 'Er. Why would I be worried about entrusting my daughter to such a man? "
"One in a million? Impeccable? Hahahaha … "As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Ling Chen wildly laughed. He didn't stop laughing for a while, and he rocked back and forth, almost unable to breathe. Su Hong Cheng became even angrier as he coldly said, "What are you laughing at?!"
"I'm laughing at how stupid some people are!" Ling Chen's laughter stopped, and his face darkened, "Someone in such a high position like yours shouldn't be an idiot. However, it seems that it's not like that at all … hah, it seems that there's no point in talking to you. Open your eyes and see for yourself! "
After speaking, Ling Chen expressionlessly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the dozen or so LCD screens in the hall lit up at the same time.
