Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Crippling Zheng Yi

The expressions on everyone’s faces varied. At last, Lin Yan’s right hand reached Li Yang.

His right hand was like a steel talon. Against an ordinary person, a casual squeeze would be enough to crush bone.

Lin Yan’s face was cold as ice. He planned to start by crushing Li Yang’s shoulders.

To a Middle Profound Level Cultivator like him, an ordinary person’s bones were as soft as tofu.

His expression was blank as his right hand finally clamped down on Li Yang’s shoulder, ready to apply force.

But in that very instant, his expression changed drastically.

It felt like his hand had clamped onto a steel plate, and a sharp pain shot through his palm.

"A Cultivator!"

Instantly, Lin Yan’s face paled!

’Li Yang is actually a Cultivator! And he’s stronger than me!’

At the same time, Li Yang was gauging Lin Yan’s strength.

’Profound Level strength.’

’My strength has already reached the Celestial Level, which makes me an extremely powerful Cultivator. But I didn’t know the strength of Zheng Yi and his man.’

’That’s why I didn’t strike first. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control my strength and might kill them outright.’

But now that he had a sense of Lin Yan’s power, he knew what to do.

Holding nothing back, just as Lin Yan made his move, Li Yang’s right foot shot out like a volcanic eruption, viciously slamming into Lin Yan’s chest.

THUD!

A dull thud echoed out. Lin Yan felt as if a giant boulder had smashed into his chest, shattering many of his bones and rupturing his internal organs. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

PFFT!

He spat out a mouthful of blood and cried out in pain as his entire body was sent flying backward. He flew a good seven or eight meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.

After lying low for so long, now that he had reached the Celestial Level, this was the first time Li Yang had ever revealed his power in front of anyone.

"AGH!!!"

On the ground, Lin Yan roared in agony. Li Yang’s kick had shattered an untold number of his bones.

The area fell silent, leaving only the sound of Lin Yan’s pained cries.

Everyone stared at Li Yang, at the incredibly young man, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

"H-How is that possible?"

"That Li Yang is a Cultivator? And he’s even stronger than Lin Yan?"

"Lin Yan is at the Profound Level! To injure him so badly with a single kick, just how strong is Li Yang?"

"He must be at the Peak of Profound Level, at least, right?"

"How old does he even look? He can’t be more than twenty, right? A twenty-year-old at the Peak of Profound Level?"

The crowd was stunned, staring at Li Yang in utter shock.

’No wonder Li Yang wasn’t afraid of Zheng Yi before. Who would have guessed he was also a Cultivator, and such a powerful one at that!’

’Li Yang... he’s a Cultivator?’

The most shocked person of all was undoubtedly Zhao Kun. He felt like he must be hallucinating.

An expression of utter disbelief covered his face as he stared at Li Yang, as if seeing his nephew for the very first time.

’I know Li Guohai’s situation,’ Zhao Kun thought. ’He’s definitely not a Cultivator. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be lying in a hospital bed just waiting to die.’

’Li Guohai isn’t a Cultivator, yet his son possesses such immense power!’

’Peak of Profound Level! That’s even stronger than my own son, the Zhao family’s only Cultivator!’

For a moment, Zhao Kun’s expression was conflicted, and it was impossible to tell if he was pleased or displeased.

"Yaoyao, what have you gotten yourself into? Is the Zheng family someone we, the Zhou family, can afford to offend?"

On the other side, Zhou Tiantao was still quietly scolding his niece, but he froze mid-sentence when he saw Li Yang suddenly make his move.

As for the worried Zhou Yao, she too could only stare blankly at Li Yang.

’When did the man I like get so strong? How could I have not noticed a single thing before?’

Everyone was lost in shock. The smile on Zheng Yi’s face vanished instantly. He stared at Li Yang, his expression turning grim and uncertain.

’How is this possible?’ Zheng Yi thought. ’My sources said Li Yang isn’t a Cultivator at all. How could he suddenly be this powerful?’

’With this kind of strength, he should have joined the Celestial Origin Palace ages ago.’

’And if he’s so powerful, how could he do nothing while his parents were dying of cancer? All the signs pointed to him not being a Cultivator at all.’

’Even if he was one, he must have just started, with his strength at the Yellow Level at most.’

’That’s why I acted so recklessly!’

’But with just one kick, he sent Lin Yan, a Middle Profound Level master, flying. He was no match for Li Yang at all.’

While his expression shifted between shock and anger, Li Yang appeared before him.

Li Yang said nothing, but the glacial look on his face was enough to chill anyone to the bone.

Zheng Yi had acted too suddenly. Moreover, the person carrying the case of Anticancer Agent was over by Zheng Qian, so even though Li Yang was stronger than Zheng Yi, he hadn’t been able to stop him in time.

Seeing Li Yang approach, Zheng Yi instinctively took a step back. His expression flickered, and he said in a low, threatening voice, "Li Yang, my father is a Celestial Level Cultivator, and my grandfather is a King Level expert. Do you dare to touch me?"

His words were a clear threat. He was even weaker than Lin Yan, and Lin Yan couldn’t even withstand a single blow from Li Yang. How could he possibly be a match?

BAM!

But before he could finish speaking, a searing pain erupted in his chest.

"AGH!!!"

He screamed as Li Yang’s kick sent him flying. He slammed hard into a nearby stone coffee table before crashing to the floor.

His chest was caved in, and his body was curled up like a shrimp as he wailed in agony.

The area fell silent once more as horrified gazes landed on Li Yang.

"He actually dared to attack Zheng Yi!"

"Zheng Yi isn’t strong, but his father is a Celestial Level Cultivator, and his grandfather is a King Level expert! They’re practically Land Immortals!"

"Even if Li Yang is at the Peak of Profound Level, or even the unbelievable Earth-Level, there’s no way he’s a match for a Celestial Level Cultivator, to say nothing of a King Level one!"

"He’s insane! Absolutely insane! After what he’s done to Zheng Yi, the Zheng family will never let him go!"

The onlookers stared at Li Yang, their eyes now filled with apprehension.

In their eyes, Li Yang was a complete madman.

"AGGGHH!! Li Yang, you dared to attack me! My father and my grandfather will never let you get away with this!" Zheng Yi roared from the floor, his face a mask of crazed, malevolent pain.

He had grown up surrounded by people who feared and flattered him. When had he ever suffered such an injury?

"Won’t let me get away with it?"

Li Yang’s gaze was frigid as he took another step forward.

"This is the hand that crushed the Anticancer Agent, isn’t it?"

He brought his foot down, stomping directly on Zheng Yi’s right hand.

The force behind Li Yang’s stomp was terrifying. With a sickening CRUNCH, Zheng Yi’s right hand was crushed into a bloody pulp.
