"Is this guy’s strength that formidable?"
Qu Shaojun's jaw dropped.
The two cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining felt their scalps tingle, their gazes towards Chen Nan like they were staring at a ghost.
Cultivators in their twenties at the Qi Refining stage were rare enough.
Let alone one with such immense power.
"Fifth Brother, this guy has some tricks. We need to join forces to take him down!" the black-clothed elder signaled his companion, and they both attacked simultaneously.
"Fierce Tiger Fist!"
"Mountain Splitting Palm!"
The situation in the arena changed drastically, whipping up gusts of fierce wind.
Two terrifying energies surged towards Chen Nan!
"Overestimating yourselves!"
A hint of disdain flashed across Chen Nan's face. His eyes narrowed, and he formed a hand seal, unleashing the Gale Art!
Whoosh!
Empowered by the Gale Art, the two energies instantly flew back.
They accurately struck the two Qi Refining cultivators.
Puff! Puff!
The two men, like broken kites, spat blood and were sent flying over ten meters away!
Upon landing, their faces had already turned pale, and their breathing was rapid.
"You? You want to kill Mr. Chen? Hmph! Go find a place to pee and see what kind of trash you are!" Jiang Jiancheng sneered.
He had remained calm as they attacked Chen Nan.
Although he didn't know the full extent of Chen Nan's power, in his heart, Chen Nan was an invincible being!
"Young Master, run! This guy is too strong, we can't beat him!" The black-clothed elder clutched his chest, his eyes filled with shock and unease as he looked at Chen Nan.
Being able to instantly defeat two experts at the third level of Qi Refining meant the opponent possessed at least the strength of the fourth level.
Qu Shaojun swallowed hard.
The plot had taken a turn he hadn't expected!
He had thought bringing in cultivators from his clan would allow him to crush Chen Nan, turning him into fish on a chopping block, at his mercy.
And that he would control Chen Nan's life and death!
But...
Who could have imagined that even these two experts at the third level of Qi Refining were no match for Chen Nan?
If he had known this earlier, he should have fled immediately after bidding for the Dragon Drink.
Instead of provoking Chen Nan!
"Run?" Chen Nan chuckled. "You've provoked me time and again. Do you truly think I, Chen, am a pushover? Do you truly think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
Qu Shaojun forced a smile. "Brother Chen, as they say, meeting leads to friendship. We don't have any deep animosity between us. Wouldn't it be better to become friends?"
Chen Nan: "Befriend me? Are you worthy?"
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?" Qu Shaojun dropped his pretense and angrily retorted, "Yes, I admit I underestimated you. Your strength is indeed superior to mine, but so what?"
"Could you be stronger than my Qu family?"
"Let me tell you, you will either apologize to me now, or I will make a phone call and inform the Qu family of your actions."
"Then, the entire world will have no place for you!"
The two Qi Refining experts were stunned!
Holy crap!
Did this guy really not understand the concept of knowing when to yield?
Even at this point, he dared to threaten Chen Nan?
Slap!
Chen Nan slapped Qu Shaojun across the face, causing blood to spurt from his nose and mouth. "You think I'm afraid of your Qu family?"
As he spoke,
He unleashed the Gravity Art.
Thump!
Qu Shaojun directly collapsed to his knees, his kneecaps shattering, letting out a soul-piercing scream. "Chen Nan, you'll die a terrible death! My Qu family will not let you go!"
Chen Nan said, "I have no time for your nonsense. Produce two hundred billion, and I'll let you go."
"I don't have it! I don't have a single cent! Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you!" Qu Shaojun roared through gritted teeth.
Chen Nan looked at the two experts at the third level of Qi Refining. "Perhaps you two gentlemen could trouble yourselves to escort me to the Qu family?"
"You... what do you mean?"
The black-robed elder trembled all over, terrified by Chen Nan's words.
Chen Nan said, "The Dragon Drink Company was founded by us. If it could have been auctioned at a reasonable price, it would have been fine. But the members of the Qu family actually wanted to seize it by force."
"Honestly, I'm a bit upset!"
"Very unhappy!"
"As the saying goes, a child's fault is the parent's responsibility. Shouldn't I go to the Qu family to find someone sensible and demand an explanation?"
The black-clothed elder's face was filled with horror. "Chen Nan, your strength is indeed terrifying, but I advise you not to do this. It's no different from walking into a trap."
"The Qu family is not as weak as you imagine. There are many experts at our level."
"If you go rashly, you will surely pay a heavy price!"
He was no fool; he understood Chen Nan's intentions.
In high-class language, it was about finding a sensible person in the Qu family for an explanation.
But put bluntly, he wanted to declare war on the Qu family!
Chen Nan suddenly chuckled. "Heh, you two consider yourselves experts?"
The two men were speechless.
"Elder Hai, take him. Take him to the Qu family," Qu Shaojun shrieked hysterically, roaring and laughing simultaneously. "Chen Nan, if you dare to go to the capital, my Qu family will ensure you never return!"
Chen Nan shrugged fearlessly. "Does your Qu family have the capability?"
"However, before that, I'll have to trouble Young Master Qu to call your family. Tell them to prepare two hundred billion!"
"Otherwise, the Qu family might cease to exist!"
Saying this, he grabbed Jian Ning and walked to the side. "I'm going to the capital. I'll be back in two days at the latest. Remember to eat well while I'm gone."
"Can you not go? We have some wealth now, there's no need to risk your life. The Dragon Drink... can we just consider it feeding to the dogs?" Jian Ning's face was full of anxiety.
She didn't know how influential the Qu family was.
But a single text message could make those financial and business tycoons abandon their bid for the Dragon Drink. This alone showed the terrifying power of the Qu family.
Even if Chen Nan was exceptionally strong, he was ultimately alone.
How could he contend with such a behemoth?
Chen Nan affectionately ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, I don't even have a single Qu family in my eyes!"
This was not Chen Nan being arrogant.
Back then, at the second level of Qi Refining, he had been able to flatten the Jiang family and kill all their cultivators.
Now, possessing the fifth level of Qi Refining,
and having learned numerous cultivation techniques,
his strength was far beyond what it used to be!
Could a mere Qu family threaten him?
"Old Jiang, help me secretly protect Jian Ning!" Chen Nan instructed Jiang Jiancheng.
Jiang Jiancheng quickly said, "Mr. Chen, rest assured. With me here, no one will be able to harm Miss Jian in the slightest!"
"Go back and get some sleep!"
Chen Nan ruffled Jian Ning's head again, then walked towards Qu Shaojun.
At this moment, Qu Shaojun had just finished calling his father, Qu Yuan, and briefly explained what had happened. "Dad, you must avenge me!"
Chen Nan snatched Qu Shaojun's phone and spoke to the person on the other end. "Mr. Qu, your son is poorly raised; I'll escort him back. Also, prepare two hundred billion, or I can't guarantee what accidents might occur along the way!"
Qu Yuan's voice was cold. "I'll be waiting for you in the capital!"
