"Ants?"
Words that are so shocking they are hard to ignore, Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng were all stunned.
This young man actually called them ants?
In the Northwest, only someone of the caliber of the Patriarch of the Kang Family from a super wealthy clan has the right to say such a thing, right?
Yet a mere youngster dares to call them ants right in their faces!
Such ignorance!
Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng remained calm, but Li Yichen was already on the brink of exploding.
He glared at Ye Qingtian, "Kid, do you even know who is standing in front of you?"
"Isn't it you?"
Ye Qingtian responded lightly.
"Urgh!"
Li Yichen was so frustrated he almost spat blood.
But Ye Qingtian wasn't wrong; he was the only one standing in front of Ye Qingtian.
"No, what I mean is in front of you, no, your..."
Li Yichen was almost confused with anger, talking nonsense.
Ye Qingtian glared at him, "Rambling."
"Hey, young brother, hold on!"
Seeing Ye Qingtian leave, Li Xuechang raised his voice suddenly.
"Young brother, we don't mean any harm, but some things are better cleared up theoretically!"
Li Xuechang tried to keep his emotions stable.
Ye Qingtian had offended them twice already.
"You were rude just now, we won't hold it against you. But the rabbit in your hand is ours; many can attest to that!"
Ye Qingtian showed a hint of a smile, "Besides me, aren't you all together? What testimony?"
Li Yichen flushed with anger, "Didn't you say you hit the rabbit with a stone? Prove it to us then."
Li Yichen surveyed the surroundings, his gaze finally fixed on a large tree about ten meters away, "Since your stone can cause such a wound, it must be able to hit inside the tree. Prove it."
Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng both said, "Yes, young brother, prove it. If successful, we'll apologize to you."
Bai Suyi's beautiful eyes sparkled, interested as she watched Ye Qingtian.
"Prove it? How? Afraid now? What's a man afraid of?"
Li Yichen sneered repeatedly, seeing Ye Qingtian unmoved, instinctively thinking he was scared.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Qingtian flicked the smoldering cigarette butt away.
The butt flew like a bullet, tracing a swift white mark like thunder, disappearing into the trunk.
"Rustle..."
The next second, the trees within a hundred meters showed a horrific scene: countless leaves fell like rain, each towering tree instantly withered, becoming bare.
As if winter had suddenly arrived, everything was desolate, the world fell silent.
Countless fallen leaves scattered in the air, like a raging storm.
A figure slowly vanished into the midst...
Li Yichen was dumbfounded.
Bai Suyi was dumbfounded.
Li Xuechang was dumbfounded.
Bai Wencheng was dumbfounded.
Everyone was dumbfounded, eyes wide with shock.
Several dozen seconds passed before Li Xuechang and the others finally came to their senses.
Green leaves were still scattering, everyone was frozen in place, lips trembling.
"This... How is this possible?"
Li Xuechang and the others felt a chill up their spines, a cold rush from their feet.
"In a single thought, a hundred trees wither. Miracle! Miracle! He's a divine man!"
Bai Wencheng exclaimed repeatedly.
No one anticipated such a phenomenon from a cigarette butt.
"Bang!"
The tree specified by Li Yichen shattered into dust from top to bottom, scattering in the air, raising a cloud of smoke.
Like a weathered structure touched, it disintegrated instantly.
"Ah!"
Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.
"With such destructive capability, only five in Huaxia can achieve this!"
Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng exchanged looks, simultaneously saying, "Five Dragons of Huaxia!"
Everyone's lips quivered, "What? Five Dragons of Huaxia? Are they Eastern Demon, West Poison, Southern Monk, Northern Army, Central Heaven, the legendary beings?"
Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng nodded, "We once witnessed 'Northern Army' and 'Central Heaven' in action, the young man just now is comparable!"
"Northern Army Ling Zhantian? Northwest Military Region's military spirit, Ling Zhantian? Northwest Military Region's top martial arts master, Military Killing God Ling Zhantian? Central Heaven Ye Fengtian? Tianjing's foremost family Ye Family's peerless genius, Huaxia's most secretive special forces chief instructor? The young man's skill is akin to Ling Zhantian and Ye Fengtian?"
Li Yichen and the guards exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Suyi's eyes filled with shock, unfamiliar with Ye Fengtian, but she heard from Grandmaster Bai Wencheng about Ling Zhantian's feats.
Ling Zhantian hails from a martial arts family, joined the military at fourteen, entered battle at eighteen, at twenty took enemy heads amidst thousands, at thirty single-handedly annihilated a nation's super combat squad...
A lifetime of military service, Ling Zhantian is decorated with honors. Not only the Northwest Military Region's top martial artist but also earned the title of "Northern Army of Five Dragons of Huaxia," known globally.
Bai Wencheng mentioned that Ling Zhantian had the strength to fight thousands alone, even against heavy weapons.
Bai Suyi didn't expect Ye Qingtian could rival Ling Zhantian.
"Chief, this... this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
The guards asked in disbelief.
Li Xuechang looked complex, "Even if not quite, it's very close! Furthermore, he only seems around twenty! His future achievements might surpass the Five Dragons of Huaxia!"
"Hiss!"
The sound of sharp breaths echoed.
Ants!
In Ye Qingtian's gaze, they truly were ants!
Ye Qingtian was entirely correct.
"Chief, those two shots missed, the bullet trajecpoint is here!"
Soon, the guards noticed an anomaly.
"What?"
Understanding the situation, Li Xuechang and the others felt as if lightning struck on a sunny day, their faces suddenly changed.
"We missed a great chance to make allies with a Young Grandmaster, foolish!"
"Indeed, with this Young Grandmaster as an ally, why fear the Four Great Families? Why fear the likes of Northwest Super Clan Kang Family?"
Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng sighed, regret poured over them.
As for Li Yichen, his face turned particularly unsightly, as though he swallowed a fly from the latrine.
If it weren't for him, the situation wouldn't have escalated like this.
"Grandmaster Li, Grandpa, I think we should send someone early to find this gentleman and apologize!"
Bai Suyi calmly reminded.
The two elders brightened, excitedly, "Suyi, you're rational; immediately, find this Young Grandmaster! Right away, right now!"
On the outskirts of Jin City, a SSC Tuatara supercar sped along the highway.
Inside the car sat two women.
None other than Hua Qingfei and Lin Yanan.
"President Hua, do you think the person ahead looks like Ye Qingtian?"
The driver, Lin Yanan, couldn't help but ask, seeing a person walking slowly on the road ahead.
Hua Qingfei removed her sunglasses and looked carefully, "It's him, Yanan, pull over!"
"Didn't he get hosted by the Qin Family? Why is he running all over the road? And he's holding two wild rabbits? What's he here for?"
"Screech!"
The SSC stopped beside him, Ye Qingtian wasn't startled, he sensed it long before.
The window rolled down, revealing Hua Qingfei's enchanting face.
"What are you doing here?"
Her voice like a heavenly melody, absolute delight for sound lovers.
Ye Qingtian frowned slightly, "Do we know each other?"
"How can you be like this, we were on the same flight last night!"
Lin Yanan glared at Ye Qingtian.
Ye Qingtian glanced at the two, "Oh, a little impression. If you have something to say, say it, otherwise I'll be on my way."
"Ye Qingtian! Get in, I've something to tell you!"
Hua Qingfei directly called out Ye Qingtian's name.
