Chapter 234: Fighting Ye Xuan

Lin Jian smiled and tossed the gun onto the coffee table. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "You’re a Grandmaster too, right? But a Grandmaster is no match for me!"

At this moment, Ye Xuan was incredibly shocked. Lin Jian was simply too fast—so fast that before he could even react, his older brother had been knocked out and disarmed. What did this kid mean, though? A Grandmaster was no match for him? He knitted his brows. "Are you a Superpower User?"

Lin Jian countered, "Do you want to test that?"

Ye Xuan gave Lin Jian a curious look, then nodded. "Alright. Step outside!"

"Dad," Ye Ziqiu said, hurrying to block his path. She had never encountered things like Superpowers or Cultivators before. Truth be told, everything that happened today had completely overturned her understanding of the world. However, how could she allow her father and Lin Jian to fight?

Lin Jian stood up. "Don’t worry, Ziqiu. Uncle Ye and I are just going to spar a little."

Ye Xuan also smiled and nodded. "Rest assured, I’m just going to test this kid’s true capabilities for you!" With that, he bypassed Ye Ziqiu and strode out of the villa.

After giving Ye Ziqiu a reassuring nod, Lin Jian followed him outside.

The moment the two men left, Elder Ye hastily urged, "Quickly, check on your uncle!" Clearly, Elder Ye still favored his eldest son more. He didn’t care about the impending brawl between his third son and Lin Jian; his immediate priority was the well-being of his firstborn.

Ye Ziqiu turned her head away. "Lin Jian knows his limits when he strikes!" In reality, she didn’t know if he did or not. But first, she had to say so to defuse the tension, and second, she genuinely had no desire to tend to her uncle.

Elder Ye ignored her and instead began pinching the acupoint above Ye Yuanhang’s upper lip to wake him.

Meanwhile, after stepping out of the villa, Ye Xuan had intended to fight Lin Jian in the courtyard. However, as soon as Lin Jian got outside, he sprinted into the distance, signaling for Ye Xuan to follow! Ye Xuan gave a playful smile. It seemed this kid didn’t want others to discover his Superpower. He was also quite curious—what kind of Superpower did this kid possess?

However, as Ye Xuan pursued him, he quickly realized something was wrong. He couldn’t keep up! Lin Jian was simply too fast. As his body moved swiftly, practically gliding over the ground, Ye Xuan found himself consistently lagging dozens of meters behind, no matter how hard he chased. It wasn’t until they had sprinted wildly for four or five miles that Lin Jian finally stopped.

Here, the surroundings were deserted, illuminated only by the bright, white moonlight.

Ye Xuan caught up and took a deep breath. "Did you awaken a Speed Superpower? Very impressive."

Lin Jian kept a straight face, his voice low. "Uncle Ye, I am very angry!"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Ziqiu has been bullied in the Ye Family. Even that Ye Zisu constantly picks on her and mocks her. Even her own biological grandfather wanted to kick her out of the house in the middle of the night!

"That’s why I am very angry!"

Ye Xuan suddenly fell silent.

Lin Jian continued, "The reason I led you here is to tell you that she isn’t happy.

"And I will not allow anyone to bully her.

"That’s why I targeted Ye Yuanhang’s gang operations. That’s why I extorted one billion USD from him. That’s why I had Thomas threaten him.

"Including your father, he is not a qualified elder!"

"I know everything you’ve just said!" Ye Xuan nodded. "That’s why I came back this time. I will do my best to compensate her. I’ll have her take over the position of Fuxing’s CEO and make my older brother step down!"

Lin Jian frowned. "No. I’m taking Ziqiu back to the Continent to live. She isn’t suited to continue living here!"

Ye Xuan smiled. "It doesn’t seem like you have the final say on how Ziqiu lives her life. Kid, are you saying all this to win my favor? It’s fine if you want to get on my good side, but you must have the ability to protect Ziqiu. Otherwise, even if she likes you, I will still find a way to separate the two of you!"

As soon as his voice fell, Ye Xuan suddenly took the initiative to strike.

This kid opposite him was incredibly cunning. He had said a whole lot about caring for Ziqiu just to win his approval. Was this an emotional appeal before a battle? Did he want him to show mercy? The kid had a rather high IQ, at least.

However, what Ye Xuan didn’t know was that Lin Jian had spoken purely from the heart just now, and he didn’t need to win his favor at all.

Ye Xuan lunged forward like a lion pouncing on a rabbit. Waves of Qi formed around his body, and a massive amount of True Qi coalesced in his palms. He even generated a Tai Chi Aura within a three-meter radius around himself. Under this aura, he could overturn everything in his path!

Yet, Lin Jian didn’t retreat, nor did he dodge. Ever since the four Dao Fruits settled into place, his Power had multiplied threefold once more. The force of a single punch from him now could probably knock out an elephant! Therefore, he genuinely wanted to test whether this Grandmaster’s Inner Strength or his own explosive might was superior!

In the space of a single breath, Ye Xuan closed in. His palms morphed into claws—one swiping toward Lin Jian’s throat, and the other tearing toward his chest!

However, wrapped in the shroud of his Thought, the unmoving and unflinching Lin Jian quickly identified Ye Xuan’s weak point. He then drove straight into the vulnerability, striking the core! A punch shot out, instantly piercing through Ye Xuan’s aura, and then setting off a sonic boom of air amidst the aura’s outward repelling force!

BOOM!

Before Ye Xuan’s claws could even touch his body, Lin Jian’s retaliatory strike arrived first, shattering his aura defense and blasting directly onto his chest!

BANG!

Like a kite with a snapped string, Ye Xuan was sent flying backward in sheer disbelief!
