Daitian stood frozen in place, his body stiff, as if all the strength had drained from him. He stared blankly at the elderly man struggling in the ruins, watching helplessly as the old man, using every ounce of his strength, failed to escape the crushing force of Chen Dafeng's foot, his mouth emitting only the painful, wheezing sounds of a broken windbox.
Why?Where did my brother go wrong?He was an S-rank talent!How could he lose?
The arena fell silent, the onlookers still in shock, eyes wide with terror.One move. One strike that instantly incapacitated the leader.Who is this man?
No one knew the true identity of the "Little White Bear," nor could anyone follow his movements.Daitian, questioned by Chen Dafeng, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.It was Zhongshan, leading the defenders, who finally spoke up: "General, I think what he meant to say is: you've kicked an iron plate today. This person was just threatening you."
Zhongshan was being forthright. He thought Chen Dafeng hadn't heard clearly.
"Oh, really?"Chen Dafeng smiled wickedly, applying pressure with his foot. The elderly man's chest caved in, his eyes bulging in agony as no sound emerged from his mouth. Blood mixed with internal organs spilled from his mouth.
"Stop... no! Stop!"Daitian mumbled, his hand reaching forward, desperate to save the old man. But then the thought hit him—his own strength was nothing compared to Chen Dafeng's. The man who could easily defeat his brother could probably crush him like an ant.
"Stop what?"Chen Dafeng pressed down harder, lifting his gaze to Daitian: "If you don't clarify, how will I know what you want me to do?"
"Don't kill my brother!"Daitian dropped to his knees, his face filled with darkness and pleading. "Big brother, I was wrong! I have a loose tongue—please spare him!"
"No matter what it is, we can talk it over. A life is at stake here!""If you let my brother go, I'll do whatever you ask!"As he spoke, Daitian began banging his forehead on the ground, each strike hard enough to leave his skin bruised and bloody.
"Oh, so you want me not to kill him?"Chen Dafeng smiled, suddenly hearing a loud crash beneath his foot.Boom!The elderly man's chest collapsed entirely, his body torn in half by the crushing force.Chen Dafeng casually shook off the blood splattered on his foot and said, without even looking at the wreckage, "But why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?"Even my sister can't stop me from killing. Do you think you can?
"Big... brother..."Daitian was struck by the shock of lightning, his body trembling violently as tears streamed from his eyes, fixing his gaze on the two halves of the body at Chen Dafeng's feet.
"What happened to that tough guy? Weren't you so cocky just a moment ago?"Chen Dafeng smiled with an almost cruel amusement, watching Daitian. "Oh, I remember now. I accidentally killed your iron plate."
"Huh? This iron plate's not dead yet?"Chen Dafeng noticed that the elderly man was still breathing weakly, his eyes wide with defiance.What incredible life force, he thought.So, Chen Dafeng stepped on his head.Bang!The skull exploded.Chen Dafeng grinned. "There, now it's really dead, right?"
The body, now truly lifeless, ceased to twitch, settling into the pool of blood.The crowd around them remained eerily silent.Daitian, once filled with arrogance, was now on his knees, trembling uncontrollably.
In the tense silence, someone from the crowd whispered, their voice full of disbelief."He's... dead? The leader's really dead!""He killed the leader!"All eyes turned to Chen Dafeng, filled with a terror they couldn't even understand.
Chen Dafeng glanced over the crowd and took a few steps forward, causing them to scramble backward in fear.There were over a thousand people surrounding him, armed with weapons and firearms, yet none dared approach.
He walked confidently toward Daitian and stopped in front of him, bending down to study the fear-stricken expression on Daitian's face."Is it fun?"Chen Dafeng's voice was calm but sharp. "Tell me, do you still think your act in the chat was worth it?"
Daitian didn't answer, still paralyzed by fear.
"Boring."Chen Dafeng shrugged, clearly unimpressed. "Another idiot who got scared. There are so many of them—it's hard to even enjoy."
Then, without warning, he slapped Daitian across the face.Slap!Daitian's head exploded as his body collapsed into the blood-soaked ground.
With that, the two brothers from the Brave Men's Alliance were both dead at Chen Dafeng's hands.
The crowd remained utterly still.
Some, now realizing the danger, tried to slip away, but Zhongshan had already led the defenders to surround the area, trapping everyone.
"Is Chen Xun still around?"Chen Dafeng's gaze swept the crowd as he took two steps forward, parting the sea of people and revealing Chen Xun, who had been hiding at the back.
Chen Xun had been hoping to stay unnoticed, but with one question from Chen Dafeng, the crowd revealed his location. He could no longer stay hidden.
Forced to step forward, Chen Xun spoke with a lowered head, "Brother Bear, you were looking for me?"
His voice was now laced with respect, even a touch of fear. He couldn't even look at Chen Dafeng's face, only daring to gaze at the bloodstained foot.
"What were you doing earlier?"Chen Dafeng casually leaned against a broken stone from the rubble, crossing his arms as he regarded Chen Xun.Chen Xun, eyes still lowered, replied, "Nothing much, just watching Brother Bear display his power. I was deeply impressed."
"You also share the Chen surname," Chen Dafeng mused, raising an eyebrow. "We're from the same family. I'll give you a chance to live—how about it?"
"Yes, thank you for the mercy, Brother Bear."
Chen Xun was as humble as possible, and Chen Dafeng found himself appreciating this demeanor.Being afraid was fine—after all, he knew how strong he was.
"What was that old man about? He seemed like he was about to pull off something big."Chen Dafeng gestured to the old man's corpse in the rubble.
Chen Xun's eyelids twitched, and he lowered his voice, "His name is Su Yi An... It's the name of a shelter; no one knows his real name."
"As far as I know, his talent is S-rank—'Fas Xiang.' It allows him to grow to nearly five meters tall, like some kind of giant. Very tough and strong."Chen Xun paused briefly before continuing, "But it requires some time to activate—about ten seconds. During that time, his strength increases, but it's a vulnerable moment."
Chen Dafeng smirked. "S-rank, huh? Doesn't seem that impressive."He glanced at the body again. "So, where does he rank in the city?"
"If you're asking about personal strength..."Chen Xun thought for a moment, then said, "He would definitely be in the top three. I think second. But in terms of influence, the Brave Men's Alliance is the most powerful in the city."
"Looks like you know a lot about this,"Chen Dafeng chuckled. "You seem smarter than that old man. Why don't you take his place as the leader?"
Chen Xun hesitated before speaking softly, "There are too many battle-type talents in the city. My talent isn't suited for direct competition with them. I just want to survive in this chaotic world."
"Oh? What's your talent?"Chen Dafeng asked with curiosity, sensing there was more to this young man than met the eye.
