Chapter 497: Chapter 494 Smash the Li Family’s Gate! [First Release]

The person responsible for guarding the Li Family’s gate was named Xing Zhong.

Previously, he had been a guard for Li Lingtian, but after losing a leg in a freak accident, he came to help guard the Li Family’s gate.

As the saying goes, "even a seventh-grade official is powerful at the doorstep of a prime minister." Although Xing Zhong’s position wasn’t high, his status in these circles was nonetheless quite respectable.

Anyone who wanted to enter the Li Family’s domain, whether they were a tycoon with billions of assets or a governor with power over a region, had to treat him with courtesy.

Even the proudest of young masters and misses had to respectfully address him as "Uncle Zhong".

But encountering someone like right now, who pointed at his nose and called him a "dead cripple" upon arrival, was truly a first for him.

Li Chen had just arrived and instantly recognized that it was this very cripple who had ruthlessly thrown him and Aunt Tang out years ago. Moreover, he remembered this man had even pushed Aunt Tang to the ground.

Enduring and only uttering "dead cripple" instead of taking action was already a sign of his good mood. Had it been before, he would have broken in without a second word.

"Dead cripple, I’m saying this one last time. I’m going in now, are you going to move aside or not?"

Xing Zhong rubbed his ears, making sure he hadn’t misheard before he carefully sized up Li Chen, laughing with extreme mockery.

"Hehe, where did this brat come from. Scram, or do you believe I can turn you into a dead cripple too?"

The group of young men and women listened to Li Chen speaking bluntly, calling Xing Zhong a "dead cripple," and were all shocked, wide-eyed with disbelief.

They all greeted Xing Zhong reverently as "Uncle Zhong," but Li Chen went even further than calling him by name, directly hitting where it hurt.

"Ha ha, I thought this guy was from the Li Family, turns out he’s just a lunatic!"

"Stop talking, let’s watch the show. Let’s bet, do you think Uncle Zhong will break his legs too?"

These wealthy young elites spontaneously started betting on how long Li Chen could last and how many legs would get broken, with the stakes not low at all, starting at a hundred thousand and easily reaching millions.

In under a minute, this almost jokingly established betting pool had amassed a staggering ten million.

The young ladies, on the other hand, were all slightly furrowed in concern. They had previously found Li Chen handsome and skilled, and they had some favorable impressions of him.

Especially when they speculated that the reason Li Chen had fearlessly beaten up Zhangbei was because he was relying on his identity as a distant member of the Li Family, they even entertained some girlhood fantasies about possibly capturing his interest.

Having such a handsome, highly skilled boyfriend who was also a distant member of the Li Family would certainly be prestigious and face-giving when brought out among friends.

But now, it turned out this guy had such an explosive temperament. It was one thing to beat up Zhangbei, as they were all young after all. But now, he had the audacity to forcefully break into the Li Family’s gate. He was simply a brash fool courting death.

The young ladies who had just entertained thoughts of bringing Li Chen into their fold now displayed disdainful expressions.

In this new century, knowing how to restrain one’s temperament and bow down to influential tycoons was the true wisdom. Otherwise, no matter how skilled one might be, they would end up dead in the streets sooner or later.

"Fine, you won’t let me pass? I’ll just smash this Li Family’s gate and see how you’ll stop me!"

Having said that, Li Chen strode forward with the posture of someone about to smash the gate.

Seeing Li Chen approach, Xing Zhong quickly stepped forward to meet him. Though one of his legs was crippled, his movements were actually quite fast. In the blink of an eye, he covered the distance of ten meters.

He reached out his hand, executing a standard Grapple move, attempting to grab Li Chen’s shoulder.

This was the most practical killing move in military close-quarters combat and grappling techniques.

Li Chen sneered coldly, as unmovable as a mountain, letting Xing Zhong make his grab.

Although Xing Zhong succeeded in grabbing Li Chen’s shoulder, the man seemed as immovable as Tai Mountain, unaffected by whatever force he applied.

Seeing this, Xing Zhong was shocked and instinctively looked up at Li Chen.

Li Chen smirked and said coldly, "Six years ago, you pushed a woman to the ground right here. Today, I’ll return the favor tenfold!"

Having said this, Li Chen abruptly shrugged his shoulder, slamming it viciously into Xing Zhong’s chest.

In an instant, Xing Zhong was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing against a century-old tree at the entrance.

Seeing this turn of events, Zhangbei and his group of young elites were dumbstruck.

It was well known that despite his crippled leg, if Xing Zhong got into a bare-knuckle fight with a company of elite soldiers, he would not be at a disadvantage, truly considered a master capable of taking on hundreds.

Yet now, he had been sent flying by a mere push from Li Chen, which was utterly inconceivable.

Li Chen stepped forward with large strides, looking at the magnificent and majestic brass gate, and declared, "If you dare to block my path, why should I even leave you standing? I’ll just smash it to smithereens!"

Before his words even fell, he truly raised his Iron Fist and, like a cannonball, he thundered forward.

"Boom!"

The gate, three stories high and three meters thick, which could withstand bullets, collapsed under the powerful strike of Li Chen’s Iron Fist.

This scene was beyond the wildest imaginations of the young men and women.

They would normally enter this gate with the utmost trepidation.

But Li Chen just went ahead and smashed it?

Seeing the Li Family’s guards start moving, Zhangbei and the group of young elites quickly retreated, afraid of becoming collateral damage and being mistaken for Li Chen’s accomplices, possibly getting knocked down on the spot.

After they retreated a safe distance away, Zhangbei began taunting.

"Ha ha, this guy must be feeling foolish now, right?"

"No matter how skilled in martial arts, a single shot brings you down."

"Who brought a camera? Take it out and snap a photo. I want to remember this historic moment. Daring to hit Zhangbei, this is the consequence!"

Zhangbei said with a spiteful grin, teeth clenched in ferocity.
