Chapter 40: The Innate Grandmaster Cuts Off His Arm and Kneels to Beg for Mercy
In the dusty mining site, the wind whipped up yellow sand that stung people's faces.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, as if the air itself had frozen.
Li Cangxiong crawled out of the yellow sand, his eyes filled with murderous intent that seemed capable of devouring people.
He exuded a dark and menacing aura, and he seemed to have gone mad.
Each step sent dust flying and made the concrete floor tremble slightly.
Li Cangxiong let out a deafening, furious roar: "You little brat, you're asking for death!"
He mustered all his strength and strode towards Lu Jingchen.
With a whooshing sound, a punch slammed towards Lu Jingchen's face.
This punch was even more vicious than the previous one, clearly intended to kill Lu Jingchen on the spot.
Lu Jingchen curled his lips into a contemptuous sneer, completely disregarding the punch.
He suddenly spread his five fingers and grabbed at the fist.
In the close-up shot, Lu Jingchen's hand looked like an iron clamp.
It firmly contained Li Cangxiong's explosive fist.
It was as steady as a rock, without the slightest tremor.
Li Cangxiong's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You dare to catch my fist with your bare hands? You're practically asking for death!"
He gritted his teeth and tried to pull his hand back, only to find that his fist was stuck in the mud.
It remained completely still, not even slightly pulled back.
Lu Jingchen's eyes turned cold, and his five fingers tightened instantly.
With a sharp crack, a bone broke.
The sound instantly echoed throughout the entire mining site, sending chills down everyone's spines.
In the close-up shot, Li Cangxiong's entire arm is visible.
It instantly bent at a bizarre ninety-degree angle, and the white bone fragments pierced through the skin and flesh.
Blood gushed out instantly, splattering the yellow sand all over the ground.
Lin Haoyu trembled in fright and took two steps back.
His face was as white as paper, without a trace of blood.
Lin Haoyu screamed in panic, his voice trembling.
"Impossible... How could Master Li have his arm broken by this kid!"
"That's absolutely impossible! He's a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!"
Hu Guangji and Jiang Zhenbang, who were standing next to him, also stared wide-eyed.
Staring intently at the scene in the center of the arena, the CPU overheated.
Hu Guangji gasped, his face filled with shock.
"Just who is this kid? He's got some serious connections!"
"This is a genuine Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, and he actually managed to subdue him with one hand?"
Li Cangxiong was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat, his face contorted in agony.
She was in pain and felt ashamed and angry; her facial features were almost contorted in pain.
Li Cangxiong let out a beast-like roar, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Kid, I haven't lost yet! Don't get too cocky!"
Lu Jingchen remained expressionless, and then suddenly exerted force on his hand again.
With another sharp crack, his other arm was snapped off as well.
Li Cangxiong was in so much pain that he threw his head back and let out a piercing scream, the sound of which was extremely harsh.
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
Jiang Zhenbang was overjoyed, clenched his fists tightly, and stomped his feet excitedly.
"Brother Lu is amazing! Li Cangxiong is just a little brother next to him!"
"They're not even in the same league! It's like a complete dimensional collapse!"
Lu Jingchen casually released his grip, and Li Cangxiong instantly lost his support, staggering and almost falling over.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jingchen raised his right foot, accompanied by a whooshing sound.
He kicked Li Cangxiong hard in the left knee.
With another muffled thud, Li Cangxiong collapsed to his knees.
His kneecap was shattered by the kick, and his entire leg was twisted at an odd angle to one side.
He couldn't stand up at all, like a stray dog with a broken leg.
The entire room fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned and didn't dare to breathe.
No one expected that the innate master who had been famous for many years was actually a master.
He couldn't even last three moves against a mere kid.
Li Cangxiong collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, looking like a dead dog.
But his eyes still gleamed with a venomous glint as he glared at Lu Jingchen.
Li Cangxiong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a harsh word.
"If you dare to cripple my cultivation, you brat."
"My master will never let you get away with this! He will tear you to pieces!"
Lu Jingchen looked down at him as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He couldn't help but sneer, his face full of disdain.
"I'd like to see just how capable your master is."
"Let him come and seek revenge, I'll take it."
"If I even frown, I'll admit defeat."
Lu Jingchen condensed a visible white true energy at his fingertips.
True energy flowed through his fingertips, carrying a terrifying pressure.
In the close-up shot, Lu Jingchen flicked his finger.
The true energy struck Li Cangxiong's dantian instantly, like a bullet fired from a gun.
Li Cangxiong's body convulsed violently instantly.
A muffled explosion came from within his body; it was the sound of his dantian being shattered.
All his hard-earned martial arts skills vanished in an instant.
Li Cangxiong's eyes rolled back, and he fainted from the pain.
He lay sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, his fate unknown.
The thugs brought by the Qi family watched as their big boss was crippled.
He was instantly terrified, and the steel pipe and stick in his hand clattered to the ground.
They looked at each other in dismay, forgetting even to run, fearing that Lu Jingchen would be the next to deal with them.
Jiang Zhenbang looked at Li Cangxiong, who was lying on the ground, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
He threw his head back and burst into laughter, laughing heartily.
"Haha, Brother Lu, you're really amazing!"
"Li Cangxiong is utterly no match for you! He's nothing but a paper tiger!"
He turned his head sharply, his gaze turning icy as he glanced at Lin Haoyu, who was already terrified.
The fierce look in his eyes made Lin Haoyu tremble all over.
Jiang Zhenbang spoke forcefully, with an unyielding and authoritative tone.
"Your Qi family must compensate me for my losses of 500 million yuan."
"Let's just leave it at that, otherwise..."
"Don't even think about starting operations on the remaining mines belonging to the Qi family!"
Lin Haoyu's eyes widened, and his whole body trembled like a leaf.
He glanced at Li Cangxiong, who lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and then at Lu Jingchen, who remained calm and composed.
They were so scared they almost flew out of their skin; they didn't dare utter a single word of dissent.
He shakily pulled out his phone, his fingers trembling so much he could barely press the screen.
"I'll transfer it right now! Five hundred million, not a penny less!"
A close-up shot shows the phone's money transfer interface.
The transfer of 500 million yuan was completed instantly.
The notification sound of the funds arriving in the account was clearly heard by everyone.
When Jiang Zhenbang heard the notification sound indicating that the payment had been received, his smile widened.
He repeatedly cupped his hands to Lu Jingchen, his attitude extremely respectful.
"Brother Lu, thank you so much this time!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have suffered a huge loss!"
"I'll transfer the promised 50 million to you right now! Not a penny less!"
Lu Jingchen nodded lightly, without saying anything more.
It was as if he had just crippled a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, to him.
It's as insignificant as stepping on an ant.
Lin Haoyu looked at Li Cangxiong on the ground, then at Jiang Zhenbang and Lu Jingchen.
He didn't dare utter a sound and hurriedly called to his subordinates.
"Quick... quick, lift Master Li up! Let's go!"
A group of people hurriedly carried Li Cangxiong away, scrambling and stumbling.
They even abandoned the SUV that was blocking the gate, fearing that if they were too slow, Lu Jingchen would cause them more trouble.
Watching their retreating figures, Jiang Zhenbang burst into laughter again.
After holding in this pent-up anger for so long, I can finally let it all out today!
Wang Jianjun quickly came over and showered Lu Jingchen with praise.
"Brother Lu, you're amazing! I've never seen anyone so incredible in my life!"
"A Grandmaster of the Innate Realm couldn't even withstand a single move from you, that's incredible!"
Lu Jingchen waved his hand, not taking the flattery to heart at all.
He looked up into the depths of the mine, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He clearly sensed it when he made his move.
Deep within this mine, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
This was the real reason why he insisted on taking on this job in the first place.
