When Liu Zheng was sent flying into the air by a palm strike from Ye Chen, a momentary deathly silence fell over the entire "Heavenly Treasure Pavilion".
What just happened?!
A junior at the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm actually sent a mid-stage cultivator of the Rotating Pill Realm flying with a slap?
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes and rubbed them vigorously.
"Boom!"
As Liu Zheng, who was sent flying, crashed to the ground and couldn't help but let out a painful wail, the momentary silence turned into a sweeping wave of chatter throughout the pavilion.
"How did he make his move?"
"Did any of you see it clearly?"
"Too fast, the move was simply too fast! Even faster than a mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm strongman!"
"Who exactly is this young man, and how is he so formidable!"
Previously, many martial artists who looked down upon Ye Chen's realm, now screamed out in shock.
When they looked at Ye Chen again, there was not one who did not have a look of fear in their eyes.
To send a mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm strongman flying with a single slap! Experience tales at m v|l e'-novelhall.net
This strength, even among the countless cultivators of the Rotating Pill Realm in this pavilion, very few could achieve it.
Everyone could see now, this young man definitely possessed the combat power of a late-stage Rotating Pill Realm, and among those, he was not weak!
Thinking back to their various ridicules of the young man before, many people's faces felt burning hot, and some even dared not look at Ye Chen again, fearing they would anger the young man and bring his wrath upon themselves.
When Liu Zheng was sent flying by Ye Chen's palm strike, his arm bones fractured and his meridians shattered, leading to continuous wailing, the four young men in brocade robes behind Liu Zheng drastically changed their expressions and hurriedly rushed over to him.
"My arm!"
Seeing Liu Zheng wailing in agony as he cradled his arm, the four young men were totally dumbstruck.
One must know, for a mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm strongman, a fractured arm is a minor issue, certainly not something to wail over, but looking at Liu Zheng's condition, it was clear he was enduring immense pain.
What these four did not know was that Ye Chen, upon discovering Liu Zheng's stealthy move, had the idea of punishing this ruthless young man.
Ye Chen's attack might have seemed simple from the outside, but in an instant, he had activated his Primordial True Qi and Sword Intents within the move, directly crippling Liu Zheng's arm!
Even if Liu Zheng could heal his injuries later on, this ordeal would likely leave a scar ingrained in his memory!
"Ah, my arm!"
"Kill him for me!"
As the pain nearly caused him to pass out, Liu Zheng, grinding his teeth and glaring at Ye Chen, barked at the four men.
"Oh? You still want to come at me?" Ye Chen looked indifferently at the four men.
This glance scared the four men into retreating several steps backward.
The strength of these four men was almost on par with Liu Zheng's, and seeing what had happened to Liu Zheng, none of them dared to take action again.
The hasty retreat of the four men infuriated Liu Zheng, who was on the ground. At that moment, Mu Qingqing gently stroked her palms, looking at Liu Zheng with a smile, "I told you earlier, your strength is too weak, yet you didn't believe it!"
"You!"
Mu Qingqing's words, combined with the excruciating pain and extreme anger, caused Liu Zheng to faint on the spot.
"These two..."
Seeing the nonchalant demeanor of Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing toward Liu Zheng and his companions, all the martial artists were stunned.
They had never seen Spirit Sea Realm martial artists like them before.
Generous in ordering dishes, and fierce in action.
Among all the dishes, Mu Qingqing first turned her attention towards a pair of food boxes, handing one to Ye Chen.
"'Sword Fang Rice'? This box contains 'Sword Fang Rice'?"
Ye Chen was also curious about what the Sword Fang Rice that Mu Qingqing kept mentioning looked like, so he quickly opened the food box.
The moment he opened it, Ye Chen's eyes lit up; inside the food box lay a palm-sized, sword-shaped crystal white grain of rice.
The grain was translucent throughout, with many strange patterns on it; at just a glance, Ye Chen felt his Sword Intents surging.
As soon as he smelled the aroma of the grain, Ye Chen was intoxicated. The scent seemed as if it could penetrate into one's pores and cells, and just breathing in the aroma made him feel as if he'd eaten an immortal fruit, leaving his whole body comfortable and relaxed.
Mu Qingqing couldn't help herself and started nibbling on the Sword Fang Rice while Ye Chen held and examined it.
The people at the next table over, smelling the aroma of the Sword Fang Rice, swallowed repeatedly and stared fixedly.
On their table, however, there was no Sword Fang Rice, only a few plain dishes.
Watching Mu Qingqing taking small bites of the Sword Fang Rice, her pink tongue occasionally licking her lips, Ye Chen thought to himself with a smile, "Is it really that delicious?"
He then picked up a grain of Sword Fang Rice himself.
With just a light bite, the Sword Fang Rice melted in his mouth, and a stream of refreshingly cool Qi immediately flowed towards Ye Chen's Qi Sea, brain, and throughout his body.
In an instant, he felt as if he was bathing in a refreshingly cool breath, his entire body extremely comfortable, all pores and cells opening up and breathing in the True Qi of the world.
In his Qi Sea, the True Qi Spiritual Fluid rippled with shimmering waves, while his mind was refreshingly clear. It was as if a fresh breeze had cleared away all thoughts, brightening them.
Such a taste was simply indescribable.
Ye Chen had never eaten anything so delicious before!
What's more, he couldn't help himself, and in just a couple of bites, he finished the entire grain of Sword Fang Rice.
After finishing the Sword Fang Rice, Ye Chen let out a long breath, still savoring the extraordinary sensation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mu Qingqing finished her grain of Sword Fang Rice as well and even used her tongue to lick her slender fingers holding it, looking like she hadn't had enough.
"How about we get two more?" Ye Chen said to Mu Qingqing with a smile.
"This place only serves one grain of Sword Fang Rice per person per day, there's no more," Mu Qingqing pouted.
"Oh, that's really a pity," Ye Chen sighed, "Well, we'll eat it next time then."
Such a great delicacy, of course, Ye Chen would like to taste it again.
Additionally, he wanted Jiang Yao to try it too.
It was just too bad that Jiang Yao was still in seclusion from awakening her bloodline, so it could only wait until the next opportunity.
"Let's try these other dishes then."
With the Sword Fang Rice finished, there were still many other dishes remaining on their table.
Though these dishes might not be as tempting as the Sword Fang Rice, they were still considered exotic and delicious.
Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing then began to try the other dishes.
As they ate, they chatted softly to each other.
Just as they were about to finish eating, sudden noises came from outside the restaurant.
Soon after, the four young men who had previously carried Liu Zheng ran quickly back into the restaurant, and as soon as they entered, they called out to Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing, "The two of you, come outside. Our elder wants to have a word with you!"
"Elder?"
Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing looked at each other, then stood up together.
"We barely started enjoying some gourmet food, and Liu Zheng's reinforcements have already arrived?"
"Is it an elder from the Tai'a Sword Sect?"
