At that moment.
All eyes were on Qin Xuan as his temperament underwent a dramatic change.
The sharp edge that shone through his eyes was like a blade, piercing into everyone's hearts.
The bottom feeder of society?
A useless country bumpkin?
An arrogant fool?
Huang Chuan, Sun Yanan and the others simultaneously flashed looks of thick horror in their eyes. When Qin Xuan's gaze swept over them, they instinctively didn't dare meet his eyes!
Chen Yan's mouth hung open, rendered speechless.
Only now did she realize.
As time passed, many things had long exceeded the perceptions of her childhood memories from three years ago...
The banquet hall was deathly silent, you could hear a pin drop.
Qin Xuan took one step at a time towards the wall in front.
Li Chengkang was embedded into the wall, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he was beyond caring about the pain. His pupils constricted into the shape of a needlepoint. With great difficulty he shouted, "D-Don't...come over."
Qin Xuan's face darkened. He grabbed Li Chengkang and heavily flung him onto the ground.
Bang!
Li Chengkang spewed blood from his mouth.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out.
Qin Xuan forcibly twisted and broke both of Li Chengkang's arms, then kicked him flying into the corner of the wall.
Li Chengkang was like a dead dog, twitching slightly in the corner, barely clinging onto life.
This kind of scene scared Huang Chuan and the others into shivering uncontrollably!
Although Eldest Martial Sister had the ability to do many things after entering the mortal world for half a year, she was still heavily restrained by karmic forces.
But Qin Xuan was different.
He didn't care about any karmic forces.
Anyone who dared to insult him would be killed!!
At that moment, another group of people arrived at the entrance to the banquet hall.
The fat middle-aged man in a suit leading them was Jin Cheng, the boss of Jinmei Garden.
Behind him were a group of security guards from the hotel.
"Who's causing trouble here?" Jin Cheng's voice boomed like a bell.
"It's him!"
Sun Yanan came to his senses and hurriedly pointed at Qin Xuan, "He first beat up Chuan Shao, then tortured Kang Shao until he became like this. He's simply rotten to the core!"
The other companions also rushed to denounce Qin Xuan.
After all, this was Jin Cheng's territory. Even if Qin Xuan was very capable in a fight, provoking Jin Cheng meant there was no way he could safely leave through that door tonight!
Seeing Huang Chuan and Li Chengkang's miserable states, Jin Cheng's eyebrows furrowed intensely.
The fathers of these two weren't small fries.
For people to be done like this in his own territory, how could he explain himself afterwards?
However, before Jin Cheng could speak, Qin Xuan looked towards him and preempted him, "Notify Li Chengkang's father to get over here and clean up this mess, otherwise this matter isn't over tonight."
"..."
Jin Cheng was dumbfounded.
The surrounding people were even more flabbergasted.
In today's society, regardless of fighting prowess, no one would be so arrogantly unbridled, right!!
Chen Yan's chest heaved up and down in anger. She immediately said, "Qin Xuan, what more do you want to stir up? This isn't an era where you can rule by fists anymore. Can't you recognize when to quit while you're ahead? Hurry up and apologize!"
"Don't try to teach me anymore," said Qin Xuan coldly. "You go back first and stop interfering in my matters."
"You!" Chen Yan was so angry she became dizzy and saw stars. "If it wasn't because of my mom, do you think I'd want to bother with you? You self-important jerk, even if you died here tonight it'd have nothing to do with me!"
Chen Yan angrily left.
Qin Xuan didn't even glance at her once. With a flip of his hand, he slapped Sun Yanan and knocked him to the ground.
Sun Yanan couldn't have imagined in his dreams that he would suddenly be beaten. After eating shit from the fall, his mind went blank.
"Speak less in the future if you want to get hit less," said Qin Xuan indifferently.
"You..." Sun Yanan's expression turned sinister. He wanted to say something, but was hurriedly pulled away by Liu Xinxin.
Huang Chuan had originally wanted to stay and watch the show, but afraid that Qin Xuan would suddenly slap him, he also left first.
This country bumpkin was too crazy to rely on his fighting skills.
He had to temporarily avoid his sharp edges and look for a chance to get revenge later!
In the blink of an eye, all the partygoers left. The only ones remaining in front of Qin Xuan were Jin Cheng and his people.
"Are you an external martial arts expert?"
Jin Cheng looked around at the people on the ground, his expression solemn as he said, "External martial arts experts are certainly formidable, but that's not enough to be so unbridled and arrogant. You're too full of yourself, young man."
"Don't waste your breath on me. Notify Li Chengkang's father to get over here immediately and clean up this mess. I don't want to say it a third time!"
Qin Xuan's brows were filled with anger.
Beating the small fry to bring out the bigger fish was a situation he didn't want to see. Now he was turning the tables on them!
All of a sudden, Jin Cheng finally couldn't endure it any longer. A vicious look appeared on his face, "You motherf*cker, don't think you can..."
Slap!
Qin Xuan slapped him in the face.
Jin Cheng instantly crashed to the ground with the left side of his face swollen high.
"You really talk too much nonsense." Qin Xuan said impatiently.
Jin Cheng's complexion turned purple. He was speechless from anger.
When had he ever been so humiliated, not even given the chance to finish a sentence before being done like this!
Just as Jin Cheng was about to order his guards to take action, Li ZeYang, Li Chengkang's father, hurried over.
As soon as something happened to Li Chengkang, someone had notified Li ZeYang!
"Chengkang!!"
Li ZeYang rushed to Li Chengkang, his eyes instantly turning red as his entire being seemed to go mad.
Qin Xuan looked at this emaciated middle-aged man and said indifferently, "You're Li Chengkang's father?"
"You beat my son into this state?"
"Yes."
"Old Yang!!"
Li ZeYang seemed to tremble in soul, letting out a hysterical roar.
In the next moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in leisurely from the entrance to the banquet hall.
This was the Old Yang that Li ZeYang had shouted for.
He was an external martial arts expert who had cultivated his horizontal training to its peak. One step further and he could develop inner energy, becoming a true inner power expert!
Without a word, Old Yang walked towards Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan didn't retreat but advanced, also walking towards his opponent.
However, Old Yang's originally aloof expression quickly changed.
In his trembling vision, with every step Qin Xuan took forward, the porcelain tiles on the ground cracked inch by inch as if in a spiderweb.
Yet Qin Xuan's footsteps seemed so light and carefree, as if he was unburdened by any gravity.
Inner power?
Old Yang's body shook tremendously. Before Qin Xuan even got close, he abruptly bent his legs and fiercely knelt on the ground.
His face was filled with sincerity and fear!
External martial artists and inner power martial artists were as different as clouds and mud.
Old Yang didn't even have the slightest thought of exchanging blows with him. His arrogant spirit was thoroughly crushed in that instant!
Seeing this, Li ZeYang and Jin Cheng's eyes widened as their faces were filled with bewilderment.
"Old Yang, what are you doing?" Li ZeYang angrily scolded.
"Inner power expert!" Old Yang's lips and teeth trembled.
"..."
Li ZeYang and Jin Cheng looked at each other, their minds buzzing as they almost collapsed on the ground.
He was actually an inner power expert!
With someone like this, even someone more powerful than Li ZeYang and Jin Cheng would be very happy to extend an olive branch.
Without exaggerating, power, wealth, beauties, everything would be at his fingertips!
