The next moment, a glint of light flashed in his hand. A thread shot out like a meteor, piercing the air and aiming straight for the massive palm imprint.

SNAP!

With a crisp crack, the massive palm imprint shattered like thin ice and vanished into the air.

Zhao Wuxuan watched in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had no time to think. After shattering his palm imprint, the thread shot toward him like a silver lightning bolt, slicing through the air to appear right before his eyes.

Zhao Wuxuan frantically waved his palms to defend himself. However, a thunderous noise erupted as a terrifying force swept over him, hurling his body back as if struck by a massive wave. His eyes filled with incredulous horror.

As he was thrown back, Zhao Wuxuan twisted like an agile cat and roared, "Attack now!"

Lin Guozheng's eyes were as deep as the ocean. He gently lifted a finger as if plucking an invisible string, and a stream of energy shot forth from his fingertip like a dragon, aiming straight for Chen Zheng's eyes.

WHOOSH! A powerful current of air tore through the atmosphere like a meteor in the night sky.

Yet, Chen Zheng's face remained as hard as iron, True Qi surging within his Dantian.

BOOM!

A loud roar seemed to rip the very air apart as a transparent bell materialized around Chen Zheng.

DONG! The bell emitted a heavy, firm resonance that instantly scattered the incoming blast of energy.

By then, Chen Zheng had charged out of the hall. Ye Cangtian, Zhao Wuxuan, and Lin Guozheng retreated into the courtyard as well, while Lin Xiaolong and Zhao Qin had already moved far away from the center of the battle.

"Grandmaster Chen's strength is truly formidable!"

"Grandmaster Chen, you're amazing!"

The people inside the hall couldn't help but cheer.

Like a hurricane, Chen Zheng had firmly seized the upper hand. Ye Cangtian had been instantly forced back, and the attacks from Zhao Wuxuan and Lin Guozheng vanished like stones cast into the ocean. The scales of battle had clearly tipped in his favor.

"This is strange! I've underestimated him!" Zhao Wuxuan muttered in a low voice. His gaze was like an invisible sword, locked tightly onto Chen Zheng as if trying to see right through him.

"If that's the case, then we absolutely cannot let him live." Lin Guozheng's eyes flickered with a dangerous light, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"Do you really think you can defy the Ye Family?" Ye Cangtian's voice echoed through the hall like a warning bell, instantly silencing the cheering crowd. They suddenly remembered they were up against three exceptionally powerful Grandmasters, and their elation vanished without a trace.

"Heh..." Ye Cangtian scoffed, his eyes brimming with contempt.

"Is your family the source of your confidence?"

"Heh." At that moment, Chen Zheng's voice, surprisingly warm like the winter sun, cut through the tension in the hall.

Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed. "Confidence is a good thing, Chen Zheng," he said, his tone sharp as a blade, "but you are overconfident!"

Chen Zheng spared him a glance. "No. You're all just too weak."

This statement made the expressions of Ye Cangtian and the others turn as grim as the abyss. "You're quite arrogant, young man," Zhao Wuxuan couldn't help but retort. "Whether we are weak is not for you to decide!"

"Why don't you try me and find out?"

Chen Zheng wasted no more words. Stamping his foot, he shot forward like the wind, charging toward the three of them.

A shimmering thread of light appeared in his hand. With a casual flick, the thread hardened like crystal and lashed out at them like a long spear.

Ye Cangtian and the other two didn't dare to be complacent, unleashing their own techniques to evade the strike. By then, Chen Zheng had already closed the distance.

"Top Heart Elbow!"

His voice thundered. With a single step, his speed exploded, and he shot like a meteor toward Zhao Wuxuan.

Zhao Wuxuan was startled but did not panic. He thrust out a palm, his internal power surging to form a massive palm imprint in front of him.

However, a layer of True Qi condensed around Chen Zheng's elbow, colliding instantly with the palm imprint.

BOOM!

A world-shaking roar erupted as the massive palm imprint, as fragile as glass, shattered on impact.

Chen Zheng's attack didn't stop there. He lunged at Zhao Wuxuan with the ferocity of a tiger descending a mountain. Zhao Wuxuan reacted instantly, waving his palms to form a defensive barrier. But under Chen Zheng's fierce assault, the barrier tore apart like paper.

Zhao Wuxuan was sent flying, his body tumbling through the air. His qi and blood were in turmoil, leaving him as precarious as a candle flame in a storm.

Just then, a sharp finger strike jabbed at him from the side. Chen Zheng seemed to have anticipated it, dodging with a mere flicker of his body. With a thought, the power of his Golden Bell Cover flared, and his figure drifted to one side like a wraith.

He then shot toward Ye Cangtian with unstoppable force, an Inch Force exploding from his fist that seemed to tear the air itself.

Like a majestic mountain, Ye Cangtian charged at Chen Zheng with overwhelming momentum. Yet, Chen Zheng was not deterred. Agile as a leopard, he clenched his fists and unleashed the full power of his body in an instant. Each punch seemed to hold the power to shatter mountains and rivers. His Inch Force, in particular, was augmented by a mysterious power, streaking through the air like lightning. Chen Zheng's body remained as solid as steel as he ruthlessly collided with Ye Cangtian.

Ye Cangtian was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth like a fountain.

"Young Master!"

Shocked cries erupted as Ye Cangtian crashed to the ground like a bird shot from the sky, spitting up another mouthful of blood.

Only then did Lin Guozheng's finger strike, like a meteor streaking across the sky, finally hit Chen Zheng's Golden Bell Cover. It produced a clear, ringing sound, almost like heavenly music.

"Die!" Lin Guozheng's roar echoed behind Chen Zheng, like a whisper from the Grim Reaper.

Chen Zheng turned casually, giving him a faint glance that said he had already seen through everything. Then, with steps as light as a cat's, he closed the distance to Lin Guozheng in an instant.

With a ferocious expression, Lin Guozheng jabbed his fingers forward like a fierce wind, unleashing a volley of finger strikes to fend off Chen Zheng's advance. However, the phantom of Chen Zheng's great bell shimmered around him like a protective deity, firmly blocking every strike.

The thread in Chen Zheng's hand coiled like a serpent. With a single wave of his arm, it lashed out.

Lin Guozheng failed to dodge in time and was sent flying by the whip-like blow, blood spurting from his mouth as he tumbled through the air. The shock in his eyes was as final and irreparable as shattered glass.

At that moment, he finally realized they had vastly underestimated Chen Zheng's strength. His power was beyond their comprehension.
