Chapter 833: Aren't You Though?
Seeing his older brother taken out and beaten, Chen Peng and the others couldn't sit still anymore.
They smashed through the conference room windows, jumped down from the eighth floor, and landed directly in the parking lot!
With red eyes, they were about to make a move on Jiangnan.
But Chen Lang said grimly, "Don't you need to step in!"
"I'll handle this myself. I want to see just how capable this so-called 'World's Strongest Platinum' really is!"
"You're so young—what makes you worthy of the Dormant Dragon Talisman?"
"If you can't even beat me, you'll be a laughingstock!"
Jiangnan was taken aback, then let out a cold sneer!
You know who I am and still dare to pick a fight? Looks like you came prepared!
What talk of business? Probably just a pretext. You moved pretty fast!
Trying to probe my limits?
Then get ready to bleed!
Meanwhile, Luo Lan and Yu Qiao rushed out as well!
With a single shout, hundreds of Dandelion members poured out of the building and surrounded them.
Things having escalated to this point, Luo Lan and Yu Qiao naturally had to protect their boss.
We don't start trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"Just a trash Platinum, no need to make a big deal out of it!"
"He wants a one-on-one? I'll indulge him~"
As he spoke, he pulled out the Blood-Drinking Halberd, activated Blood Incineration fully, and white steam billowed up!
(｡՞ٹ՞): "Hope you don't bore me, little cannon fodder!"
Chen Lang sneered: "Too much confidence isn't a good thing!"
"Rooted Grasp!"
Countless cyan roots turned into spikes, bursting through the asphalt of the parking lot, stabbing up from beneath Jiangnan's feet!
But Jiangnan had already teleported away, appearing in front of Chen Lang in the blink of an eye.
He came down like a crimson thunderbolt.
Chen Lang neither dodged nor avoided, his eyes full of confidence.
The moment the halberd blade cut into the Spirit Gauze, it met tremendous resistance!
It felt like cutting into a non-Newtonian fluid, but also slippery!
It slid off Chen Lang's shoulder to the side.
That feeling of using all your strength only to hit cotton was extremely unpleasant!
Chen Lang sneered: "Hit me? First, break through my Spirit Gauze!"
But Jiangnan's halberd didn't strike the ground. Instead, he used the momentum to swing it in a full circle and slammed the flat side into Chen Lang's waist!
"Boom!"
A dull thud, and Chen Lang's body was sent flying, coughing up blood!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "Blunt force is more effective than slashing?"
"This Spirit Gauze seems to have the effect of dispersing force and reducing damage!"
As he spoke, he teleported again, chasing after the flying Chen Lang!
Another halberd slam!
Chen Lang was sent flying again, his face pale, his spiritual energy rapidly depleting!
He was utterly shocked!
What kind of monstrous strength does Jiangnan have? How can a Platinum have such a powerful physique?
The force even penetrated the Spirit Gauze, churning his internal organs!
The terrifying mobility meant he couldn't even catch sight of Jiangnan's figure!
Chen Lang gritted his teeth. Jiangnan was indeed no pushover!
But I'm not weak either!
"Rejuvenation!"
Green light surged over his body, and his injuries healed rapidly!
"Steel-Wood Green Armor!"
In an instant, his skin turned woody, and a set of extremely sturdy wooden armor covered his entire body!
This was to resist Jiangnan's heavy blows!
Yet it still didn't change the situation of being batted around in the air!
Chen Peng's eyes widened: "Brother Nan! Damn it! An airborne combo?"
Jiangnan: (๑･᷄ꇴ･᷅) "Nonsense, I'm clearly playing tennis!"
Yu Qiao covered her mouth and giggled. It really was quite vivid—Chen Lang, all green, was just like a tennis ball being batted back and forth!
He talked big, but in the end, he still came up to get beaten!
Chen Lang's eyes were about to split: "Jiangnan! You talk crap!"
He whipped out a vine, stabbing it into the ground!
Thick roots, like twisting dragons, burst out from underground!
Chen Lang's body was pulled by the vine and plunged into the roots, merging with them!
The next moment, the roots writhed, and Chen Lang's body suddenly emerged behind Jiangnan!
He fired a volley of wooden spikes. Jiangnan didn't even turn his head, using a Spatial Barrier to protect himself, and all the spikes were blocked!
Then Jiangnan teleported behind Chen Lang and slammed down with the halberd!
"Boom!"
Chen Lang's body was shattered, but another Chen Lang emerged from a different tree root!
Full of smugness: "How's my 'Rooting Everywhere'? Can you find me?"
"These roots spread across the ground are part of my body, and I'm everywhere!"
Jiangnan looked impatient: "So annoying!"
He pulled out the Paralysis Ring and put it on his middle finger. Opening a Space Wormhole, he poked it directly into the roots under his feet!
Chen Lang: Σ(||ಥ口ಥ) Aaahh—
A scream, and Chen Lang's features twisted in agony. The extreme sensation made his body instantly stiffen!
He tumbled out of the roots!
[Resentment Value from Chen Lang +1000!]
What the hell was that thing?
Jiangnan snapped his fingers: "Spatial Barrier·Cage!"
The moment Chen Lang fell out, he was trapped inside, completely cut off from the ground!
Jiangnan teleported into the cage and punched Chen Lang's face!
Chen Lang's body erupted with cyan flames, protecting his body: "It's useless! My Chen family's Spirit Gauze—"
But Jiangnan roared: "Powerful Vajra Finger!"
While punching with his right hand, his left middle finger shone with golden light and stabbed straight into Chen Lang's chest!
It pierced through the Spirit Gauze, and his finger sunk into Chen Lang's chest, starting infinite paralysis mode!
Chen Lang: Σ(||ಥ益ಥ) Eee—
[Resentment Value from Chen Lang +1000!]
[Resentment Value from Chen Lang +1000!]
Now he twitched nonstop, like he'd touched an electric wire!
Yet even so, the Spirit Gauze didn't dissipate!
Jiangnan's punch hit, but the Spirit Gauze didn't break, and much of the force was absorbed!
He was gleeful inside. This Spirit Gauze was way too annoying!
But he didn't have the patience to keep messing with Chen Lang.
He pulled out the Small Stool and smashed it into Chen Lang's face!
"Boom!"
The troublesome Spirit Gauze seemed to have no effect against the Small Stool!
It hit solidly, splitting open the corner of Chen Lang's eye, blood spraying!
Chen Lang's eyes widened in terror: "Damn! How is that possible? Why can you ignore the Spirit Gauze?"
Even under paralysis, Chen Lang managed to gasp out in shock!
But Jiangnan wasn't surprised at all.
The Small Stool was known for "equality for all"—the Spirit Gauze couldn't possibly block it!
He'd only played around with Chen Lang this long to see the Spirit Gauze's special properties.
Now it was time for Chen Lang to bleed!
Jiangnan sat astride Chen Lang, one hand on the infinite paralysis bug, the other swinging the Small Stool like crazy!
"Ow! Aaah! Jiangnan's savage! Little brother, save me!"
Screams rang out endlessly, blood splattering, white teeth flying everywhere!
Chen Peng couldn't stand it anymore!
He led his people to charge in, but Luo Lan and Yu Qiao blocked their way.
Their faces were cold as ice!
"If you dare stop our Boss Shen from beating someone, then don't plan on going back today!"
Chen Peng roared: "Our Chen family—"
Yu Qiao squinted: "He started the fight and caused trouble. Do you think now, the Dandelion will still hold back?"
She raised her hand, and many Dandelion girls aimed Spirit-Binding Grenade Launchers!
The dark muzzles pointed at the group!
Chen Peng gritted his teeth. Brother Lang, sorry, just bear with it for a bit!
Jiangnan was having a blast, beating Chen Lang relentlessly, maxing out his Resentment Value!
Why was the Spirit Gauze useless?! Damn it!
Chen Lang's expression grew more terrified.
(#)༎ຶД༎ຶ(#): "S-Stop hitting me! I surrender! You're awesome, you're the World's Strongest Platinum! The champion of this match! It hurts!"
Jiangnan didn't stop: "You surrender, so what? What does that have to do with me hitting you?"
"Bam, smack, pow!"
[Resentment Value from Chen Lang +1000!]
(#)ཀ益ཀ(#): "I have money! I'll give you money, okay?"
Jiangnan smacked him with the stool and yelled: "Nonsense! Do I look like someone who uses his skills to extort money?"
Chen Lang: ???
"Aren't you though?"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: "Talking back? You dare talk back?"
(ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅)ﾉ╧╧ (#)꒪3꒪) Pfft—
"I'll pay! I'll pay for your ashtrays, conference table, window glass, and the parking lot! Just stop hitting me!"
Jiangnan grinned: "That's more like it! Oh, and you also need to pay for those nine Rolls-Royces!"
Chen Lang: ???
"Those aren't Dandelion cars. I drove them here. They're—"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: "You're lying! They're parked in my parking lot, so how are they your cars? Why are you lying, kid?"
He raised the stool to hit again!
Chen Lang's eyes filled with terror: "Yours! They're all yours! I'll pay! How much? Name the price!"
Jiangnan chuckled. Now the stall fee arrears were settled!
"To be nice, let's say one billion is fine!"
One bite, and I'll make a fat man!
Chen Lang: (#)ŏ口ŏ) What?
"One billion? Do you think I'm a money printer? How can you be so black?"
Jiangnan didn't say a word and kept smashing with the Small Stool! "You said your Chen family is rich and powerful! Is this too much for you? Pay up!"
Chen Lang was beaten to tears. "That's the Chen family's money, not mine! I really don't have that much! If I did, I'd give it to you!"
And you still claim this isn't extortion?
Even kidnappers aren't this ruthless!
