Chapter Thirty-Four: Cold-Hearted and Arrogant

  What a pair of eyes, devoid of human emotions, only endless coldness and unyielding depth, as if once you refuse, you must endure the other's boundless fury.

  Chen Ziyu suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and looked at Guo Ming with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

  Guo Ming furrowed his brow slightly as he walked towards Leng Xin, it seemed that some things couldn't be avoided after all! Just then, Han Rui walked over from a distance and said, "Sorry, she's my girlfriend, so she won't dance with you."

  Han Rui's words made the entire ballroom fall silent, and Han Mingli's face changed in the distance, wanting to walk towards his son's direction, but was hastily pulled back by Chen Baichuan, who whispered: "What are you doing?"

  "I won't let Rui'er take risks, Cold Heart's strength is absolutely not something Rui'er can handle," Han Ming said in a low voice.

  "Don't forget that he's our junior, we can't take action on this matter. Moreover, with so many young talents present, Cold Heart didn't dare to make a big move," Chen Bachuan said in a low voice.

  Han Ming struggled to free himself, but couldn't manage it. He looked at the other person's unyielding expression and finally let out a long sigh, "Let me go, Old Chen, I know my limits."

  Chen Ziyu was taken aback by Han Rui's words and was about to retort when she saw him wink at her, suddenly understanding. She glanced at Guo Ming with a hint of resentment and expectation, but in the end, he stood beside her without saying a word.

  The people around gradually gathered in the direction of Chen Ziyu, and everyone could see that a conflict was inevitable.

  The fact is also true, Leng Xin laughed and pointed at Han Rui loudly: "Just rely on you?"

  Han Rui's face changed, and he was about to retort when Leng Xin took a step forward. The aura on his body surged up to the sky, causing everyone around him to feel as if their hearts had been severely struck. Especially those who were closer to Leng Xin. Moreover, the people present were not ordinary individuals, most of them being young masters from noble families. They were shocked and retreated backward in unison.

  Han Rui's face flashed a hint of blush, his throat sweet, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out uncontrollably. He then flew backward weakly. Dongfang Jian was the closest, and he rushed over to embrace Han Rui's body.

  He coldly swept his gaze across the entire scene, his voice chilly as he said, "As the ancient saying goes, 'A beautiful woman is a hero's prize.' The Purple Jade is something I must obtain. Who among you dares to challenge me?" As he spoke, his hands spun around and two energy orbs appeared in them, containing threads of electric power.

  Chen Baichuan walked over from a distance, ignoring the aura on Leng Xin's body, and said coldly: "Leng Xin, this is my Chen family, you're being a bit too presumptuous, aren't you?"

  A faint smile appeared on his cold and evil face, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle's teachings are right, it's just that I like your daughter too much, and there was no other way out, so I had to resort to this trick. I hope Uncle won't mind."

  Chen Baichuan hummed and said in a cold voice: "I don't care about anything else, since you are on my turf and hurt my people, that's not right. Now I'm asking you to leave."

  The smile on Leng Xin's face froze, and he glanced at Chen Bai Chuan with disdain. "I called you Uncle because of Zi Yu's face," he said calmly. Seeing Chen Bai Chuan's expression change, Leng Xin continued without hesitation, "In the ancient martial world, the strong are respected. How much stronger do you think you are than me?"

  As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience was stunned, and no one expected that the demonic warrior Cold Heart would actually challenge Chen Bai Chuan's authority. As a result, even with Chen Bai Chuan's good temper, he couldn't bear it at this time, and the incredibly powerful aura on his body burst out without reservation. His eyes mixed with an iron-blood color, took a step forward, and the hard marble floor cracked silently, then transformed into a small tornado flying towards Cold Heart.

  Han Ming shook his head and sighed: "This guy, still making me calm down, this time he won't be able to calm down!"

  Guo Ming watched the fight with a cold eye, without any intention of intervening. Chen Ziyu's face was filled with anxiety, and now she didn't expect anything from anyone. She believed that even if Guo Ming was powerful, he was only on the same level as Dongfang Jian and Han Rui, but compared to Leng Xin, he was far inferior.

  The cold and eerie face showed no signs of fluctuation, the two balls of thunder energy in his hands slowly pushed forward. As if he was facing not a senior but an equal.

  A handsome young man stood on the second floor, with a clean and white face that exuded sharp and cold elegance; his deep and mysterious eyes sparkled with an enchanting color; his dense eyebrows, high nose, and perfect lip shape all showed off his nobility and elegance. A flash of unusual color passed through his eyes as he chuckled and said: "The number one in the demonic path, haha, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant!"

  Others may not have noticed him, but Guo Ming had been secretly observing him. Guo Ming's cultivation was the Water Path Immortal Decree, which was several levels higher than his opponent's. It was impossible for that person to hide their aura. What interested Guo Ming was that his opponent was also a master of pretending to be weak, and he was still so calm now. To think that taking action now would definitely win the favor of the Chen family.

  But that person didn't do so at all, instead quietly watching the two people's struggle, which makes one ponder.

  The two sides' attack quickly came into contact, without the imagined earth-shattering explosion. The two sides' powers suspended in mid-air, beginning a fierce struggle. In the face of this scene, ordinary officials and business representatives directly fell into petrification. They had not expected that the plot from TV would appear before their eyes.

  In the water, Ming's heart was shocked. Before, he had some prejudices against Gu Wu, thinking that even if they were extremely powerful, they couldn't truly fly or escape. Today's events made him realize that if these people wanted to harm others, it would be a disaster. No wonder some influential people would rather owe money than compete with the Shifu family; generally, the young masters of the Shifu family wouldn't take action lightly. But when their interests were threatened, could the law really restrain them? Who knows? By being overly conservative, he might have caused Ziyu to miss the opportunity to learn martial arts, which might not be a good thing for her. What if someone harmed Ziyu one day?

  Both sides' attacks gradually dissipated, but the energy of Leng Xin's dissipation was faster. Chen Baichuan's face was cold and stern, but a discerning eye could see a faintly relieved smile on his face. If he lost to Leng Xin today, Chen Baichuan would probably never be able to hold his head up in the aristocratic families again.

  So this time he must win.

  The idea was good, but the outcome couldn't be as expected. A cold and serious face suddenly flashed a hint of ridicule, which made Chen Baiquan's heart skip a beat. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he still subconsciously protected himself with his true energy.

  Chen Ziyu looked at her father's body full of true energy, a bad premonition rose in her heart, and she hastily looked at Guo Ming, saying: "What happened?"

  Guo Ming looked at Sun Ru, who was leisurely standing on the second floor, and under helpless circumstances, he could only take action. He stretched out his hand to grasp Chen Ziyu's crystal-like jade hand and softly said, "Don't worry."

  Chen Ziyu was stunned, staring blankly at the warmth spreading from her fingertips. For sixteen years, she had never allowed any member of the opposite sex to touch her body. Suddenly, she subconsciously wanted to shake off Guo Ming's hand. Just then, Guo Ming's words reached her ears, "Go and stop their attack, hurry up, or it will be too late."

  Chen Ziyu was shocked and pale, trying to intervene in the two men's attack. What a joke! Who would dare to intervene in a battle between such strong opponents? Wouldn't that be courting death? If she did that, it would be equivalent to accepting attacks from both sides at the same time. Guo Ming's urgent tone only deepened the bad premonition in her heart.

  Just as Chen Ziyu was about to ask why, she felt a sudden flash of insight, and a mysterious mark was transmitted to the depths of her soul. At the same time, endless true energy surged into her body. In just a few short seconds, Chen Ziyu felt that she had undergone a transformation, as if she had been reborn, and her powers had increased several times over.

  No time to reconsider the reason for these changes, Chen Ziyu Lian stepped lightly, step by step into the air, and with a random right foot stomp, a seven-colored lotus flower automatically appeared under her foot. When she moved away, the lotus flower automatically dissipated, and another one appeared under her other foot.

  This sudden change shocked the warriors present, as they thought that to be able to walk in mid-air, one would have to be at least a Fourth Star Master. When did Chen Ziyu hide such great strength? Sun Ru on the second floor was also stunned, speechless and muttered: "Impossible, how is it possible?"

  Chen Ziyu said in a low voice, "Today is my coming-of-age ceremony, and you, Leng Xin, are not taking me seriously by intervening at this moment." As she spoke, she walked directly to the source of the converging energies, her eyes flashing with an unusual color, and her jade-like hand gently reached out to touch the energy.

  "No, Zi Yu, Chen Bai Chuan shouted loudly after being shocked, seeing Chen Zi Yu's actions." Although the energy of the two seemed to have decreased a lot, in fact, what was left behind was the essence that had been precipitated for a long time.

  "Leave quickly," the pale-faced Cold Moon also whispered.

  It's too late to stop now, Chen Ziyu has already touched those two strands of breathtaking energy.
