Chapter 693: Vulnerable

"You dare to oppose our Wu Family... our clan leader will not let you off." Wu Xingguo lay on the ground, defending his final dignity like a dead dog.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu smiled, then suddenly kicked Wu Xingguo in the mouth. Wu Xingguo let out a miserable shriek as his jaw was shattered by Chen Yu's kick, and his teeth mixed with blood sprayed out.

He clutched his mouth and let out a series of painful howls, but he had no way to resist any longer.

"Chen Yu." Liu Jingye looked at Chen Yu through gritted teeth: "Are you determined to go against me?"

"Smack..." Chen Yu slapped Liu Jingye across the face. Although he didn't use much force, five bright red finger marks instantly swelled up on Liu Jingye's face.

"Go against you? Do you have the qualifications?" Chen Yu felt incredibly annoyed: "I invested in a club and wanted to run a legitimate business, and you, damn it, brought a bunch of people to smash up my place. Am I not allowed to fight back?"

Liu Jingye had been taught a lesson by Chen Yu twice before. Although he hated him, he was filled with fear toward Chen Yu, so he didn't dare to resist even when Chen Yu slapped him, only glaring at Chen Yu with hatred.

"You're not convinced?" Chen Yu spread the fingers of his right hand and slapped him again. Smack, smack, smack—a series of slaps left Liu Jingye dizzy and seeing stars.

Liu Jingye was about to explode with rage. Chen Yu hadn't used his full strength, otherwise, he would have slapped his dog head off, but this was extremely insulting to him. Just as Chen Yu's fourth slap was about to land, the young man in a long robe standing behind Liu Jingye stepped forward and blocked Chen Yu.

"Friend, let's talk this over properly. Let's not ruin the harmony." The young man was waving a Folding Fan in his hand, dressed in a cyan long robe, looking extremely flashy.

"I don't want to ruin the harmony with him either, but if you don't slap a person like this hard in the face, he will never realize where he went wrong." Chen Yu glanced at the young man and saw Spiritual Energy surging on him, with a trace of Mind Power flickering in his eyes; he was clearly someone from the Esoteric Sect.

"Let's get acquainted. I am Lu Shun, a personal disciple of the famous Metaphysics Master of Shengjing, Xun Hongfang." The young man said with a chuckle: "You must have heard of Xun Hongfang, right?"

"Of course I've heard of him." Chen Yu smiled: "But what does that have to do with me beating this guy surnamed Liu?"

Chen Yu knew that the reason Liu Jingye dared to be so arrogant was because the Liu Family's strength could suppress the other great noble families. The reason the Liu Family was so strong was that they had the support of Mystic Gate forces behind the scenes.

The Shengjing Metaphysics Master Xun Hongfang had an extraordinary relationship with the Liu Family, and coupled with the fact that Liu Jingye had a younger sister, Liu Lianxin, who possessed a Heavenly Immortal Body, the Liu Clan's strength had remained undiminished among the Six Great Noble Families.

This kid in front of him was a disciple of Xun Hongfang; no wonder he looked a bit unusual.

"Because my master has a close relationship with the Liu Family, hitting Young Master Liu is hitting my master's face." Lu Shun was a typical smiling tiger; beneath his chuckling expression, he hid a sharp, murderous intent.

"So what if I hit your master's face?" Chen Yu glanced at him.

"Then do you know how many methods my master has?" The smile on Lu Shun's face grew thicker. He waved the Folding Fan in his hand, and a pale yellow talisman appeared in his palm. With a clear shout, he pointed the talisman at Chen Yu, and a ball of fire attacked Chen Yu.

The Netherfire Proper Talisman, a type of talisman with great power, driven by Spiritual Power, instantly transforms into a fireball and can harm people invisibly.

One must know that this kind of talisman is drawn with Mind Power, sealing a Forbidden Dharma within the talisman, which can be activated with a mere thought. Someone capable of drawing talismans with Mind Power is already a very formidable person in the Mystic Gate.

Although Lu Shun could not reach this level of strength, his master Xun Hongfang could, so it was normal for him to carry a few talismans to show off and protect himself. However, this talisman could cause even a Martial Ancestor Realm expert to suffer a hidden loss if caught off guard.

But for this grandson to play this trick on Chen Yu, he was truly a bit green.

Lu Shun gave a clear shout, and the talisman in his hand ignited. He pointed his right hand forward, intending to send the talisman out.

Unfortunately, just as his hand reached out, his body suddenly stiffened, and the talisman at his fingertips froze between the two fingers of his right hand, unable to be sent out.

The smile on Lu Shun's face instantly vanished, followed by a shrill, strange scream.

With a boom, the Netherfire Talisman exploded directly at his fingertips. A fireball condensed and then shot into the sky. The fireball burst, affecting a radius of over a zhang.

Lu Shun's clothes and hair were set ablaze by the Netherfire Talisman. He screamed and rolled on the ground, but the fire on his body burned brighter and brighter.

"Quick, go save Young Master Lu." Liu Jingye couldn't care about the pain on his face anymore and hurriedly called for the people behind him to save Lu Shun.

Several bodyguards rushed forward, splashing water and patting the fire, and it took a long time to extinguish the fire on his body.

Unfortunately, Lu Shun was scorched black all over, and in some places, his skin was torn open. His originally handsome eyebrows were burned off, and more than half of his hair was gone. He was helped up by the bodyguards, trembling slightly.

"You, you..." Lu Shun looked at Chen Yu in terror, too frightened to speak a complete sentence.

"You should be glad that the person who drew this Netherfire Talisman didn't have high Mind Power, so they could only draw an Initial Stage Netherfire Talisman." Chen Yu said indifferently: "You should also be glad that your own strength is too weak, and you could only unleash one-tenth of the power of this Initial Stage Netherfire Talisman."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as burning off your eyebrows; your entire head would have been blown apart."

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Shun was both shocked and angry: "How do you know about my master's Netherfire Talisman?"

"The Spirit Talismans in the Mystic Gate's Strange Arts originate from the Daoist school. Anyone who knows a little bit about Metaphysics should know about the Netherfire Talisman, right? How did it become something uniquely created by your master's sect in your mouth?" Chen Yu sneered: "Xun Hongfang has a famous reputation; how did he end up teaching such an ignorant disciple?"

"You understand Mystic Arts?" Lu Shun finally realized. His face turned ashen as he retreated and whispered into Liu Jingye's ear: "Young Master Liu, let's withdraw. We can't handle this person today."

"You can't do anything about him either?" Liu Jingye's expression was incomparably gloomy. He had brought Martial Arts Experts and had the disciple of a Metaphysics Master to assist, yet they still couldn't do anything to Chen Yu. He was truly shocked and angry.

"This grandson is hard to deal with. Let's invite a master to come back and take revenge later." Lu Shun's meaning was very clear: they couldn't handle him now, so they would come back next time.

"Let's go." Although Liu Jingye was unwilling, he still held the attitude that a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. But he was truly hateful; he, the dignified Young Master Liu, when had he ever bowed his head to others?

Yet, in front of Chen Yu, this was already the third time.

"Wait." Just as this guy turned to leave, he was stopped by Chen Yu.

"What else do you want?" Liu Jingye asked angrily.

"If I had been defeated, would you have let me off like this?" Chen Yu pointed at Zhang Hu's few underlings lying on the ground: "The people in my place were beaten by you. Do you think you can leave without paying the medical expenses?"
