Chapter 1258: Chapter 1252: What About Cheng Hui’s Subordinates?

He slightly curled his five fingers, resembling an eagle’s talon. Thin strands of Internal Qi flowed through his fingertips like five resilient threads, coiling toward Li Changlin’s neck.

Swoosh!

In the void, a sharp, piercing sound echoed. It was Tao Zhengxiang’s Internal Strength slicing through the air, the friction generating an ear-splitting noise.

With this single grasp, even solid steel before him would undoubtedly be torn apart.

Such is the might of a master of Void Force. Tao Zhengxiang possessed a strength of over eight thousand pounds; in his eyes, Li Changlin was mere insignificance.

Witnessing this scene, Yang Mingzhu’s heart tightened, and she could not help but cry out in alarm.

"Insignificant as a grain of rice!" However, from Li Changlin’s mouth came four words coldly spat.

Soon after, an astonishing sight unfolded before everyone’s eyes: above Li Changlin’s head, a colossal white dragon abruptly appeared.

The white dragon rolled and surged, its majesty unparalleled, its eyes suddenly widening as it lunged at Tao Zhengxiang fiercely.

In an instant, Tao Zhengxiang’s eyes widened in terror, his face betraying sheer panic. "Impossible!"

"It’s the Power of One Dragon!"

Behind Tao Zhengxiang, an elder in the Half-step Void Energy realm exclaimed in shock. But at that precise moment, Li Changlin’s body trembled, and the white dragon soared from atop his head, ruthlessly smashing into Tao Zhengxiang.

"No!" Tao Zhengxiang cried out in dismay, his body moving swiftly in retreat.

Despite his eight thousand pounds of strength, his opponent wielded the Power of One Dragon—an insurmountable difference between the two.

Yet, the speed of the dragon was beyond comprehension. Though Tao Zhengxiang reacted quickly, his strength was ultimately no match for the Power of One Dragon.

Bang!

In a fraction of a second, the white dragon collided forcefully with Tao Zhengxiang’s body.

He let out a wretched scream, soaring backward before crashing onto the roof of a car.

Thud!

Tao Zhengxiang’s body landed heavily atop the car, his ribs fractured in five places. Trembling with terror, he pleaded desperately, "Spare me! Senior, please spare my life!"

"Spare you?" Li Changlin sneered coldly, leaping gracefully to the car’s hood. Staring indifferently at Tao Zhengxiang, he mocked, "Who was it earlier that threatened to toss this Quasi-God Prodigal into the Huangpu River? Who was it that menaced me to call my family to come pick up a defeated prisoner?"

"I was wrong! Senior, I was wrong. Please forgive me!" Tao Zhengxiang wailed pitifully, realizing now that the man standing before him was a true Boundary of Virtual Energy expert—an ancient monster whose strength vastly eclipsed his own. True fear gripped his heart.

Li Changlin sneered, his voice deep as he declared, "When you make mistakes, you must bear the consequences. Tao Zhengxiang, right? The moment you chose to raise your hand against me, your fate was sealed."

As he spoke, Li Changlin lifted his hand slowly, pressing it intentionally toward Tao Zhengxiang’s chest.

"No! Senior, you can’t kill me. You truly can’t kill me," Tao Zhengxiang stammered in panic, shouting desperately, "I serve Young Master Cheng! Senior, I am an aide of Young Master Cheng!"

"Young Master Cheng?" Li Changlin paused, his palm hovering in the air, and asked coldly, "Which Young Master Cheng?"

"Young Master Cheng Hui! I work for Cheng Hui, Senior. I belong to Jingcheng’s Cheng Family!" Tao Zhengxiang thought Li Changlin might show apprehension and hurriedly exclaimed, "Senior, you must know what kind of family the Cheng Family is. If you kill me, it will undoubtedly provoke Young Master Cheng Hui’s wrath. Even if your strength is within the Boundary of Virtual Energy, the Cheng Family will not let you off easily!"

"Threatening me?" Li Changlin laughed coldly, his gaze mocking as it fell upon Tao Zhengxiang.

Tao Zhengxiang’s heart trembled, and he stammered nervously, "No, it’s not a threat. I didn’t mean that, Senior. I was merely reminding you. The Cheng Family is a first-rate force in Ancient Martial Arts—I believe you understand the choice to make, Senior. Rest assured, if you forgive me today, I’ll pretend nothing ever happened and won’t report this to the Cheng Family."

Tao Zhengxiang was shrewd. He knew better than to confront Li Changlin head-on at this moment.

After all, his life was entirely in Li Changlin’s hands.

If he dared push the man too far, who could say whether Li Changlin might ruthlessly decide to silence everyone present?

While the room was filled with people, Li Changlin was a Boundary of Virtual Energy master!

If he truly resolved to kill everyone here, ensuring nothing reached the Cheng Family, he could easily accomplish it.

"The Cheng Family is indeed a first-rate force in Ancient Martial Arts," Li Changlin nodded indifferently. Just as Tao Zhengxiang inwardly celebrated that Li Changlin was likely intimidated, Li Changlin’s next words came deep and resolute: "Yet, such a mere Cheng Family is not even worth acknowledging!"

"No, impossible!" Tao Zhengxiang shook his head repeatedly, refusing to believe Li Changlin’s statement.

To him, Li Changlin was merely putting up a brave front.

Offending the Cheng Family? It didn’t matter if Li Changlin was at the Early Stage of Virtual Energy, or even its peak—after all, the Cheng Family boasted Half-step Inch Strength and even full-fledged Inch Force experts!

Thus, Tao Zhengxiang was convinced Li Changlin couldn’t act boldly under the circumstances. Terror no longer gnawed at his heart.

As long as he survived today, he could summon Young Master Cheng Hui later to obliterate this arrogant fool!

"Nothing is impossible!" Li Changlin smiled coolly, his tone calm and assured. "To provoke me, Li Changlin—you could bring Cheng Hui himself as well as a supreme god over heaven; it would still lead only to death!"

"W-What?" Tao Zhengxiang looked up in shock, stammering in disbelief, "Y-You are Young Master Changlin!"

"Indeed, I am Li Changlin. And now you must understand—I can kill you, and Cheng Hui would have no grounds for complaint!" Li Changlin’s gaze danced with amusement as his shoulder shifted slightly, and his palm descended swiftly.

"No! Urgh..." Tao Zhengxiang let out a final anguished scream, but it was powerless against Li Changlin’s decision.

A massive torrent of Internal Qi surged from Li Changlin’s palm, flooding Tao Zhengxiang’s chest and shattering his heart in one decisive blow.

Tao Zhengxiang couldn’t even finish his sentence before he slumped lifeless.

Having executed Tao Zhengxiang, Li Changlin treated it as if it were an inconsequential act.

He turned abruptly and cast a cold gaze upon the remaining members of the Shuiyun Gang.
