Ye Chunliang hurriedly looked back, and was instantly horrified, as his brothers had already been utterly defeated and scattered by Jiang Zhendong's encirclement! The people Ye Linglan had recruited were just a bunch of irregulars, some ruffians and hooligans, and even some students. But Jiang Zhendong was different, all his men were true desperados, ready to fight and kill. Naturally, they fought ruthlessly, causing Ye Linglan's underlings to start crying for their parents right from the first encounter. At this moment, Ye Chunliang felt ice cold all over, finally understanding the meaning of "stirring the grass and startling the snake" as Hao Jian had described. He had originally thought that having superior numbers would put some psychological pressure on Jiang Zhendong. But now it seemed Jiang Zhendong hadn't taken him seriously at all. Watching his own brothers being hacked to death on the spot, Ye Chunliang was so shocked he couldn't speak. Had he led them to their deaths? Ye Chunliang's face was an ashen blue at this time, and he had also realized just how foolish he had been. His reckless charge hadn't saved his sister, but instead, it had caused the death of his brothers. "You lost, so as a punishment, I'm going to f*ck your sister right in front of you!" Jiang Zhendong slapped Ye Chunliang's face, smirking maliciously. "You dare? I'll kill you!" Ye Chunliang's eyes flashed murderously as he roared with all his might. "Ha, let's see if I dare!" Jiang Zhendong said with a cold laugh and then walked straight towards Ye Linglan, grabbing her hair and yanking her up. "Let her go!" Seeing his sister treated so shamefully, Ye Chunliang was beside himself with rage, screaming furiously. "Swoosh!" Just as Jiang Zhendong grabbed Ye Linglan, a cold glint suddenly shot from not far away, circling around his wrist and dazzling his eyes. Jiang Zhendong blinked, somewhat dazed. Then he saw a spray of blood shoot up. He looked down abruptly to find his palm had been cut off without him realizing it, bleeding profusely. "Ahh!" This time, the scream came from Jiang Zhendong. He clutched his wrist, unable to comprehend what had just happened. Ye Linglan was also stunned, not understanding what had occurred for Jiang Zhendong's hand to disappear like that. "Who? Who did this to me!" Jiang Zhendong roared, his eyes bloody as if he wanted to devour someone. "It was me!" Right at that moment, a mocking voice came from the doorway. Everyone turned to look at the doorway, their faces filled with confusion. Soon after, they heard footsteps and saw a swaying shadow. A man with fine features walked in—it was Hao Jian. Seeing Hao Jian appear, Ye Chunliang and the others were somewhat dumbstruck. They had thought Hao Jian was too scared to show up, yet here he was. And seeing Hao Jian, Ye Linglan's pretty eyes sparkled. He hadn't abandoned her! She hadn't misjudged him! With that, Ye Linglan could die content! "Who are you?" Jiang Zhendong glared viciously at Hao Jian, his rage spreading. "Me? Am I not the 'coward and scoundrel' you mentioned?" Hao Jian said with a mocking smile, his devilishly handsome face showing a hint of amusement. "You're Hao Jian?" Jiang Zhendong could hardly believe it. Hadn't Ye Chunliang said that this guy had run away in fear? Immediately, Jiang Zhendong's expression darkened: "You're the one who hurt me?" "Sorry, I didn't want to do this, but I really don't like other men touching my woman," Hao Jian shrugged, speaking as if he were discussing a triviality, his demeanor calm and even slightly helpless. "Kill him for me!" Jiang Zhendong was consumed with fury. Now that he knew Hao Jian was responsible, there was nothing more to say. Hao Jian had maimed him; if he did not kill Hao Jian, it wouldn't quell the hatred burning in him. "Hao Jian, run for it!" Ye Linglan yelled, now knowing Hao Jian wasn't the coward she feared, which was enough for her. She hadn't expected him to actually risk his life. But Hao Jian just stood there like a stake, motionless as Jiang Zhendong's men surrounded him. Seeing this, Jiang Zhendong laughed: "Kid, not bad, pretty gutsy, huh? Given the chance to run, and you stay?" "Not running doesn't mean I'm gutsy; it's because I know you lot of trash can't hurt me," Hao Jian said with a smile. At his words, Jiang Zhendong and his men first were taken aback, then anger appeared on their faces. Jiang Zhendong even laughed in rage: "Alright then, I'd like to see if you're truly as formidable as you claim! Come at him!" Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, dozens of machetes fell from the sky, slashing straight at Hao Jian's head. Ye Linglan's face drained of color in fear. With so many blades descending at once, even she would meet her end, not to mention Hao Jian's chances of survival. And just then, Hao Jian, who had been standing with his arms crossed, suddenly covered his mouth and yawned lazily. And after that yawn was completed, his figure vanished from the spot. This frightened everyone out of their wits. How could a person just disappear into thin air? It was too unbelievable! Vanishing without a trace was a phenomenon that only existed in paranormal stories. It couldn't happen in real life, so witnessing such a supernatural event left everyone's skin crawling and filled them with indescribable horror. "Where is he?" Jiang Zhendong was both shocked and furious, his bloodshot eyes sweeping through the crowd. "Am I not right here?" A ethereal voice came through, and Hao Jian's figure reappeared where he had just been standing. "Ah?" Jiang Zhendong's men took two steps back in fright, their faces turning green. Disappearing and then bizarrely reappearing without a sound—could this guy possibly have mastered invisibility? Everyone was terrified; this guy simply wasn't human! Ye Linglan and Ye Chunliang were also dumbfounded; they couldn't figure out what sort of trick Hao Jian was playing, how he could disappear and reappear like that. Seeing everyone's scared expressions, Hao Jian remained indifferent, "What, scared already? Weren't you boasting how awesome you gangsters are?" That's true, but their ferocity was meant for people, and you're simply not human, right? The mafia members were all faces of fear; Hao Jian was just too eerie. "Do something! Who the hell do you guys follow!" Jiang Zhendong couldn't contain his rage or his embarrassment; his men had been spooked by a small trick, which made him, the boss, lose face. Chastised by Jiang Zhendong, the mafia members slowly regained their composure. After all, they didn't dare ignore the boss's orders and charged at Hao Jian once again. This time, Hao Jian didn't just feign strength to scare them; he leapt into the air and unleashed a roundhouse kick that sent everyone flying. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire Dozens of men taken out with a single kick—everyone who witnessed the scene was tongue-tied and dumbstruck. The power in Hao Jian's legs was terrifying. Though they were only watching, they could still perceive the fearsomeness of the force, for as the kick swept out, they could feel a strong gust of wind hitting their faces. Douzens of men were thrown into the air and then scattered on the ground, unable to get up. Other gang members gasped in cold air, feeling glad they hadn't been the first to charge forward, or they would have ended up the same way. Ye Linglan and Ye Chunliang were both dumbstruck. Although they knew Hao Jian was a good fighter, they hadn't expected him to be this good. No, "good" wasn't the right word to describe it—it was terrifying! Ye Linglan even felt as if Hao Jian had been born in the wrong era, as though someone like him should have lived on an ancient battlefield, wielding cold weapons and sweeping away thousands of enemies! In that moment, an indescribable feeling filled Ye Linglan's heart, leaving her unable to resist it. And that feeling was called obsession! Ye Linglan had originally thought she was strong enough, with no man able to come close—yet in front of Hao Jian, she was still as insignificant as an ant! With this thought, Ye Linglan's lower body involuntarily moistened, her pale yellow underwear spotting with water, becoming somewhat muddy! At this moment, she couldn't help but wish to pounce on Hao Jian and deal with him on the spot! Jiang Zhendong's face was ashen at this time; having dozens of his men laid out flat in an instant was undeniably a blow to their morale, and it was a slap in the face for him as the boss. "Bang!" With a vicious expression, Jiang Zhendong lifted his hand and shot at Hao Jian! The bullet shot towards Hao Jian in an instant! "Be careful!" Ye Linglan exclaimed in alarm. Hao Jian's brow furrowed as he stretched out two fingers and violently pinched the bullet! S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Thud!" Gun smoke twirled around Hao Jian's fingers, and everyone clearly saw the bullet caught between his two fingers. At that moment, it wasn't just a matter of gasping for air—everyone was so scared that their hairs stood on end. Catching a bullet with bare hands? Were they filming a martial arts movie? Was this guy Superman? "Brother, support me a bit, my legs are a little weak," one of the gang members said, leaning on the shoulder of his comrade. Being an enemy to such a monster, what was the difference between that and seeking death? Jiang Zhendong's face had gone pale. Catching a bullet with bare hands? How could that be possible? Jiang Zhendong refused to believe it, continuously pulling the trigger, the bullets incessantly shooting towards Hao Jian. Hao Jian moved forward, taking steps towards Jiang Zhendong, his figure shifting to dodge Jiang Zhendong's bullets. By the time Jiang Zhendong's magazine was empty, Hao Jian had already reached him. Jiang Zhendong looked at Hao Jian in horror, mechanically pulling the trigger of the now empty handgun. He couldn't understand, he really couldn't comprehend, how this guy had dodged all those bullets. Hao Jian reached out, grabbed Jiang Zhendong's handgun, and then crushed it with one hand, while scoffing, "You're grown up now, you shouldn't play with toys anymore."
