Chapter 242

A hint of urgency stirred in his heart.

Although currently…

This fight might not even break out, but for safety's sake, he still cast a 【Steel Shield】 on Li Yunxi to boost her combat power.

"How thoughtful!"

Li Yunxi turned her head to look at Luo Chenyu, and her icy expression instantly melted.

"Step back—leave this to your Auntie!"

Luo Chenyu gazed into Li Yunxi's eyes, sighed inwardly, and stepped back a distance.

"Brother Yu…"

Facing Ye Xingtong swiftly arrived beside Luo Chenyu, gripping his large hand tightly, her eyes filled with concern.

"With Auntie here, there's nothing to fear!"

In truth, Luo Chenyu himself felt uneasy—today's incident had gotten too big.

He'd only wanted to vent his anger on his beloved car.

But he hadn't expected…

Since Leng Long appeared, the situation had completely slipped from his control—he could only press forward stubbornly.

Fortunately, Li Yunxi arrived in time.

Otherwise…

The consequences would have been unimaginable.

………………

"Leng Zhen, I'm waiting for the Barbarian God's elder brother—what are you waiting for?"

Li Yunxi shot a provocative glance at Leng Zhen; with Luo Chenyu's 【Steel Shield】, she now felt utterly fearless.

A 150% damage boost was simply too tempting—she wanted to keep Luo Chenyu by her side forever, just to cast shields for her.

"Barbarian God… hah, someone of the Barbarian God elder brother's stature would never come personally for some mere Luo Chenyu—do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Leng Zhen extended his hand, and icy frost coalesced in his palm.

"Today, you must give the Leng family a proper explanation—or none of you will leave!"

"Explanation?"

Li Yunxi didn't know the exact details, but seeing the mangled demonic-energy SUV and the groaning delinquent on the ground, the situation had become clear enough.

"Your Leng family's audacity is truly boundless—beating up someone on the street and getting beaten back, yet you pretend to be the victim? Why don't you just fly up to heaven?"

"Exactly… that Leng Long… he pulled the same stunt on me before!"

Su Feng, standing a short distance behind Li Yunxi, chimed in inappropriately: "Back then, my old man came to demand justice—I nearly got into a fight with him."

Leng Zhen froze slightly at these words.

Only now did he realize there was another "unexpected" factor present: Su Feng, the young master of the Su family.

At this moment,

his resentment toward Leng Long surged rapidly: "If I'd known this would happen, I should've just sent people to capture them outright—simple and efficient."

He was the true mastermind behind this incident involving Luo Chenyu.

He'd exploited Leng Long's affection for Facing Ye Xingtong to lure Luo Chenyu into acting openly, then dragged him to the Enforcement Corps, thereby distancing himself from the whole affair.

But unfortunately…

Life is unpredictable.

Luo Chenyu was too reckless, too fierce.

Too many unexpected people had appeared.

Even if he'd intervened personally, he might not have been able to take Luo Chenyu away.

He'd tried to steal a chicken but lost his rice instead…

No, now he couldn't even pick up the rice.

"Su Feng, when elders are speaking, when did you earn the right to interrupt?"

Since Leng Zhen had shown up, he could never retreat in disgrace—he had to stand firm, so he shifted his target temporarily to Su Feng.

"Know what you can say and what you can't—don't come crying to me later when I refuse to show your elders any mercy!"

Li Yunxi, surprised, burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha… impressive—you're now threatening children? Leng Zhen, you've regressed!"

Leng Zhen's eyes turned cold.

Suddenly…

He shuddered, his pupils contracting, his gaze involuntarily lifting to the sky.

There, in the clear blue sky, a figure appeared, a wild and overwhelming aura blanketing the earth.

The Barbarian God…

Had truly appeared.

The next instant, a booming voice echoed across the entire East Sea City.

"々｀ The Beast Tide has arrived early—it will land on East Sea territory tomorrow morning. All East Sea residents, prepare for battle!"

In just a few sentences, countless people were struck with terror.

The Beast Tide…

Has come early!!

That was the legendary unprecedented super Beast Tide—if it wasn't held back, East Sea City would become a ruin, erased from existence.

In the sky.

After the voice vanished, the figure of the Barbarian God vanished along with it.

Seeing this, Leng Zhen immediately let out a breath of relief.

However…

"Go back and tell that idiot Feng Ji to keep his claws to himself and stop reaching out everywhere. Now scram!"

The Barbarian God's voice echoed in his mind.

It made Leng Zhen's whole body go rigid, cold sweat pouring uncontrollably down his back.

He knew!!

How did he know?

In an instant, countless questions surfaced in Leng Zhen's mind.

And in his line of sight, the back of the Barbarian God also appeared.

The Barbarian God had really come!

"Kid's got some guts, just arrived in East Sea City and already kicked up such a huge fuss. Worthy of the Barbarian Bear of the Barbarian God Legion, hahaha…"

Luo Chenyu stared blank-faced at the young man before him, who was far more powerfully built than he was.

Who was he?

Teleportation-like speed, and he knew he was the Barbarian Bear!

No way, no way…

"Are you Boss Barbarian God?"

"Brains work pretty well too, way smarter than Little Ion!"

Hearing this, Li Yunxi immediately became unhappy.

"Boss, you keep saying that — where am I not smart…"

The Barbarian God burst out laughing at this, and his fierce, wild aura began spreading once more.

Suddenly.

Luo Chenyu's gaze sharpened — he actually noticed a faint bloodstain appear on the Barbarian God's chest. The Barbarian God was injured?

The Barbarian God also seemed to notice Luo Chenyu's gaze.

He shook his head and said, "Let's go, tonight Boss is treating you to drinks!"

"Um… what about the Leng family?"

With the Barbarian God backing him, Luo Chenyu would not let this go so easily. He could let the earlier matter slide, but that guy Leng Zhen actually tried to capture him — absolutely outrageous.

When it comes to holding grudges, he is serious.

"Little Ion was right, you kid really do hold grudges!"

"Don't worry, with me covering you, who in East Sea City would dare touch you?" (Qian Wang Hao)
