Chapter 426 Overwhelming Dominance!
Chen Luo appeared before everyone in his black combat attire.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted above his icy eyes, with a high-bridged nose and thin lips, his entire face resembling a perfectly crafted work of art.
His black hair hung behind him, gently fluttering in the wind.
Chen Luo stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze commanding as he looked down at the hundreds of people below.
From his perspective, these densely packed crowds resembled colonies of ants.
Equally insignificant, equally disgusting, making him want to step on them.
“Crack…”
Flashes of lightning continued to appear around Chen Luo’s body.
After his appearance, the pressure enveloping heaven and earth grew even stronger.
The crowd on the ground looked up at Chen Luo’s figure in the sky, their eyes filled with nothing but shock.
Chen Luo was so young, yet his aura was powerful enough to suffocate!
This was a Martial Saint!
Compared to Zheng Yan whom they had seen at the Zheng family last time, Chen Luo’s aura was even more powerful!
Many people unconsciously felt the urge to kneel on the ground and worship him!
At the main judges’ seats in front of the martial arts arena, Zhao Jidao and the other four main judges also showed expressions of shock.
As high-ranking officials of the Martial Arts Association, they had exceptional vision and had met many powerful experts.
They had seen Martial Saints before.
But they had never seen a Martial Saint as young as Chen Luo!
And the aura emanating from Chen Luo was no weaker than those Martial Saints who had been famous for many years!
It’s worth noting that Chen Luo had just entered the Martial Saint realm, and he was only twenty-seven years old!
“Chairman Zhao, this Chen Luo truly has the bearing of a king, with limitless potential,” remarked an elderly man in black at the judges’ table.
“Not yet thirty and already possessing such might, in another twenty years, it’s impossible to imagine what heights he might reach…” another elder sighed.
“The Chen family is truly blessed, with such a prodigious descendant, the entire family will go down in history,” the elder next to Zhao Jidao shook his head, his eyes showing a hint of envy.
Zhao Jidao remained silent, just staring at Chen Luo’s figure with intense eyes.
After seeing Chen Luo in person, his determination to form a marriage alliance with the Chen family grew even stronger.
Chen Luo would surely become a dragon-like powerhouse in the future, soaring in the highest heavens.
If the Zhao family could form a marriage alliance with the Chen family, the future benefits would be… immeasurable.
Beyond his own family’s interests, Zhao Jidao was also excited about the future of the Huaibei martial arts world.
Looking across the entire Nine Provinces Nation, there might be many Martial Saints.
But prodigies like Chen Luo who entered the Martial Saint realm before the age of thirty, except for the Yan City region, other regions probably had none!
Based on this point alone, Chen Luo could steadily suppress the talented youths from other regions!
Because of Chen Luo’s existence, the future of the Huaibei martial arts world was bright!
Zhao Jidao felt somewhat excited.
At this moment, he remembered Zhao Zinan who had run away, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
No matter what, Zhao Zinan must marry into the Chen family!
For this, he was willing to pay any price!
…
Next to the main judges’ seats stood the leaders of various martial arts sects in Huaibei.
They looked up at the god-like Chen Luo, with indescribable shock in their eyes.
With such a person in the Chen family, their position in the Huaibei martial arts world was unshakable.
After today, the Chen family would be the number one martial arts family in Huaibei, and no one could compete with them! There wasn’t even an opponent in the same league!
The sect leaders looked up at Chen Luo, already calculating in their minds.
They had originally been affiliated with other families.
But now, they wanted to change allegiance.
Since they were going to be subordinate anyway, they naturally wanted to be subordinate to the strongest family! This way, they would gain more benefits!
Meanwhile, the young people standing in the waiting area all wore bitter expressions.
Chen Luo, standing in mid-air, whose mere presence made them feel suffocated, was their opponent today.
This was no longer simply about being a foil!
If they really fought against Chen Luo, it would be hard to say if they could even preserve their lives!
Among all these young people, the most talented had only reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, still two major realms away from the Martial Saint realm!
From a martial arts perspective, crossing one major realm already made a fight impossible.
And a fight crossing two major realms, to be honest, was no different from suicide.
“I want to withdraw from the competition.”
“Me too… it would be fine if we didn’t encounter Chen Luo, but if we draw lots and face him…”
“Why don’t we all withdraw together…”
Many people began discussing in low voices.
As core disciples of various families, they usually carried the titles of genius and future family head, respected wherever they went.
But now, seeing Chen Luo, their confidence and self-respect were completely gone.
Chen Luo and they were not on the same level of existence.
They didn’t want to go on stage and make fools of themselves, didn’t want to become stepping stones for Chen Luo’s ascension.
“It’s decided then! To hell with the rules, let’s all withdraw later!” At this moment, Hu Tianyi, who had previously clashed with Chen Yi, said firmly.
Among this group, his strength was considered average.
But the Hu family ranked at least in the top five in the Jiangnan martial arts world.
Therefore, Hu Tianyi’s words carried some weight.
Everyone agreed.
…
In the banquet hall, some distance from the martial arts arena.
Fang Yu was still sitting at the table, eating with his head down.
Zhao Xuan and Qin Lang turned their heads to look at Chen Luo in the sky above the martial arts arena.
“Such a powerful aura…” Zhao Xuan’s eyes were filled with shock.
Qin Lang also showed an expression of astonishment.
A prodigy like Chen Luo would occupy a seat even among the geniuses of Yan City.
He was simply too strong.
Qin Lang thought for a moment, then turned to look at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu hadn’t even raised his head, still holding a chicken leg in his hand.
This morning, Fang Yu had suddenly called him, saying he wanted to visit the Chen family.
Qin Lang didn’t know why Fang Yu wanted to come.
But now, looking at Chen Luo with his overwhelming aura, suppressing all beings, he suddenly felt this scene was familiar.
Not long ago, the Grand Elder of the Zheng family, Zheng Yan, seemed to be like this too…
But in less than an hour, Zheng Yan had perished, with not even a corpse to be found.
Afterward, the Zheng family had also collapsed.
And the man who caused all this was now sitting in front of him, eating with his head down.
Fang Yu coming to the Chen family today, could he also want to…
Thinking about what might happen next, Qin Lang’s heart skipped a beat.
“What’s wrong?”
At this moment, Fang Yu finished the chicken leg in his hand, looked up at Qin Lang, and asked.
“Uh… nothing, Chen Luo has appeared, Mr. Fang… don’t you want to take a look?” Qin Lang said.
Fang Yu glanced at Chen Luo in the distance and said, “I’ve seen him, a Martial Saint, quite impressive.”
As he spoke, Fang Yu couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
This smile, in Qin Lang’s view, was particularly terrifying, and also confirmed his thoughts.
Mr. Fang really was going to make a move against Chen Luo!
“Zinan, that person is Chen Luo, the young master of today’s host,” Zhao Xuan turned around and said to Zhao Zinan beside him.
“Oh,” Zhao Zinan responded softly, still looking down and playing with her fingers.
“Come on, look up and see,” Zhao Xuan said helplessly.
Because it was her brother’s request, Zhao Zinan reluctantly raised her head to look at Chen Luo in the sky above the martial arts arena.
“What do you think of Chen Luo?” Zhao Xuan asked.
Zhao Zinan only looked once before turning back, timidly saying, “I think he’s scary.”
“Scary? Well… he might be scary to others, but to a young lady like you, he would be very gentle. Look carefully, he’s very handsome, even more handsome than your brother,” Zhao Xuan said.
“He’s not more handsome than you, brother,” Zhao Zinan raised her head and firmly refuted.
“You haven’t even looked at him properly, how can you be so sure?” Zhao Xuan said.
“Anyway… that’s just how it is!” Zhao Zinan said stubbornly.
Zhao Xuan looked at Zhao Zinan and said nothing more.
Zhao Zinan’s expression changed, and she timidly said, “Brother, have I made you angry? I’m sorry…”
“Sigh… I’m not angry,” Zhao Xuan sighed again and patted Zhao Zinan’s head.
“How old is your sister?” At this moment, Fang Yu, sitting opposite, asked.
“Twenty-two,” Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment before answering.
“Oh, so it seems you want to marry her off,” Fang Yu smiled.
“Uh…” Zhao Xuan’s expression changed slightly, leaving him momentarily speechless.
He hadn’t expected that Fang Yu, who had been eating with his head down, would immediately reveal the Zhao family’s intentions with just one sentence.
Zhao Zinan, who was sitting nearby, also changed her expression when she heard Fang Yu’s words.
She suddenly turned to look at Zhao Xuan and said, “Brother, I don’t want to get married.”
