188: You seem to be quite sensitive to smoking!

"Slap!!!"

A crisp and loud slap echoed throughout the entire clothing store.

Everyone's eyes widened.

They saw...

That slap actually landed hard on Chen Wenxuan's face, which was filled with smugness!!!

Chen Wenxuan stumbled from the slap, nearly falling to the ground.

He clutched his suddenly swollen cheek, his head buzzing, stars dancing before his eyes, completely dazed.

He... was hit?

Publicly slapped in the face... by this driver ant in his eyes???

Manager Chen gasped, covering her mouth, her eyes wide and round.

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly.

This was the Ye Chen she knew!

Ye Chen lowered his hand and spoke calmly.

"Choice?"

"I've made it."

"This is my choice."

"Also, I'll teach you a lesson for free: not everyone is like you, thinking money can buy everything."

"You... you actually dare to hit me?!" Chen Wenxuan woke up from the burning pain and intense dizziness, filled with shock.

Ye Chen's slap had directly split the corner of his mouth.

Since he was a child, when had he ever suffered such humiliation???

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"What? One slap isn't enough?"

"Good! Very good!"

Chen Wenxuan laughed in anger, "If you have the guts, try hitting me again! I'm telling you, Ye Chen, if you can walk out of City Name alive today, I'll write my name, Chen Wenxuan, backwards! I'll make you completely disappear..."

"Slap—!!!"

Before his threatening words were finished, another slap landed hard on his other intact cheek!

This time the force was even heavier.

Chen Wenxuan was slapped so hard he spun half a circle in the air and slammed head-first into a nearby display rack.

Consequently...

The clothes came crashing down to the floor.

Ye Chen withdrew his hand, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"In all my years, I've never heard such a bizarre request."

"Since you strongly requested it, I'll just have to satisfy you."

"You... you really dared to hit me?!" Chen Wenxuan slumped in the pile of clothes, both cheeks swelling up at a visible rate, like steamed buns.

Ye Chen looked at him strangely: "Didn't you ask me to hit you? I've always been one to help others!"

"Ah—!!!"

Chen Wenxuan completely lost it and roared hoarsely toward the store entrance, "Someone! A Lai! Get the hell in here! Kill this bastard! Right now! Immediately!!!"

Before his voice fell, the glass door of the clothing store was directly burst open.

The glass door shattered upon impact, shards flying everywhere!

A middle-aged figure rushed in first like a Leopard, followed by seven or eight black-clad Bodyguards with similarly cold and stern auras.

The leader was none other than A Lai.

He swept his gaze around, and when he saw Chen Wenxuan slumped in the pile of clothes, his pupils suddenly contracted, and killing intent surged in his eyes!

"You dare to hurt the Young Master? You're looking for death!"

A Lai didn't waste any words and directly ordered, "Kill him!!!"

The surrounding black-clad Bodyguards pounced without hesitation.

They knew very well... if the Young Master was beaten and they couldn't solve the problem, they would likely end up as corpses!

Therefore...

The young man before them... must die!

"Ah!"

Manager Chen screamed in fright and shrank behind the counter.

Bai Wanqing's brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't move an inch, just watching quietly.

She knew... Ye Chen would definitely have a way to solve the current problem.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Why is there another group?"

"Are you all here looking for a slapping?"

The moment he finished speaking, he didn't dodge or block; he just raised his right hand again and backhandedly slapped the first black-clad Bodyguard who pounced in front of him!

"Bang!"

That Bodyguard came fast but went back even faster!

Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, and the Bodyguard flew out horizontally at a speed faster than when he pounced, knocking over another row of clothes racks and fainting without even a groan.

Ye Chen didn't stop, facing the remaining Bodyguards, and waved his left hand again.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Crisp slapping sounds rang out one after another, like firecrackers!

With every crisp sound, a dark figure screamed and was thrown flying, crashing into walls, counters, or clothes racks, instantly losing their combat capability.

Clean!

Efficient!

It was like watching a play!

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight elite Bodyguards were all lying on the ground, groaning and rolling.

A Lai's eyes turned cold, and he also acted without hesitation, striking with a hand strike on the spot!

Seeing it was only three inches from Ye Chen's throat... he pushed his strength again, and his speed increased by another half!

He wanted to kill this ignorant kid in one blow to reclaim the Young Master's face!

However—

Before the attack could land, Ye Chen's right hand, which had just slapped away the last Bodyguard, suddenly retracted.

Then.

With his five fingers spread, he casually raised it upward.

"Slap!"

A soft sound.

A Lai's hand-knife, which was enough to cut through metal and jade, was actually steadily blocked by Ye Chen's palm, unable to advance even half an inch!

A Lai's expression changed!

He felt as if his full-strength blow had disappeared into the ocean; the opponent's palm was as steady as a rock, and the counter-force made his wrist feel slightly numb.

He reacted extremely quickly, his left punch striking toward Ye Chen's ribs like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, silent and swift!

Ye Chen didn't even look; his right hand that was blocking the hand-knife pressed down, while his left arm bent, his elbow arriving first and striking the wrist of A Lai's incoming left punch.

"Crack!"

A faint sound of bone cracking rang out.

A Lai let out a muffled groan, the strength in his left punch instantly dissipating as intense pain surged.

But he was experienced in combat; he used the momentum to step back half a pace, his right leg like a steel whip, sweeping toward Ye Chen's lower body with a whistling wind!

This kick was fast and fierce, with a tricky angle, clearly intended to force Ye Chen to move and break his center of gravity.

Ye Chen still stood in place, simply lifting his right foot and casually stepping down.

"Bang!"

His sole stepped on the shinbone of A Lai's sweeping leg!

"Ugh—!"

A Lai let out a suppressed cry of pain, feeling as if his shinbone was about to split, and his attack crumbled again.

In the blink of an eye.

The two had exchanged several moves; A Lai's attacks were all effortlessly neutralized, and he had even suffered hidden losses.

Shock finally appeared in his eyes.

This young man's strength far exceeded his estimation!

Chen Wenxuan had been helped up by his followers. Seeing that A Lai hadn't been able to take down Ye Chen immediately, he was both shocked and enraged, shouting hoarsely: "A Lai! Don't waste time with him! Use your ultimate move! Cripple him! Otherwise, I'll have my dad cripple you!"

A Lai's gaze sharpened; he knew he couldn't hold back anymore.

He took a deep breath, the true qi in his body circulating frantically. His aura suddenly became cold, a faint gray mist appeared on his palms, and his fingertips turned pitch black.

"Kid, you can be proud of yourself for forcing me to use the Bone-Corroding Palm!"

He growled, his palms crossing to create several palm shadows, carrying a fishy wind like a poisonous snake emerging from its hole, covering several major acupoints on Ye Chen's chest and abdomen!

Where the palm wind passed, the air even made a slight corroding sound.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, seemingly a bit interested in the gray mist, but then found it boring.

"All flash and no substance."

He commented, and then an instant before A Lai's palm shadows reached his body, he raised his right hand once more and gave it a wave.

A plain and simple slap passed through the layers of palm shadows and accurately slapped toward A Lai's face.

A fierce light flashed in A Lai's eyes; this time he was prepared!

"You want to use the same move twice? Arrogant!"

He roared, the muscles in his left arm bulging, pouring in all his strength to block the side of his face like an iron gate!

He planned to block and deflect the slap, and then while Ye Chen's arm was jarred and his center was wide open, his Bone-Corroding Palm would drive straight in and strike the opponent's chest!

A perfect plan!!!

"Bang!"

Ye Chen's palm landed solidly on A Lai's blocking left arm.

A cruel smile had just appeared on A Lai's face when, in the next second, that smile froze completely and turned into boundless terror!

An irresistible, terrifying force, like a mountain collapsing or an ocean surging, came from the opponent's palm!

That wasn't internal energy; it was pure, raw strength!

"Crack—!!!"

The sound of bones shattering exploded!

A Lai's left arm, which was infused with true qi, actually snapped like a stalk of straw, twisting, deforming, and breaking!

"Ah—!!!"

Pain ten times more intense than before made A Lai let out a heart-wrenching scream.

However, it wasn't over yet.

After breaking his arm, the force of Ye Chen's slap remained unabated and still landed solidly on his face!

"Slap—Pfft!"

The sound of the slap mixed with the sound of shattering teeth, and A Lai spun sideways and flew out!

"Boom!!!"

He crashed through the glass display window on the other side of the clothing store, flying out onto the sidewalk outside along with the mannequins inside... and then.

He didn't move.

Inside the store, there was dead silence.

They stared blankly at this scene, their hearts filled with shock.

Ye Chen slowly lowered his hand and looked up at the dumbfounded Chen Wenxuan.

"Your people..."

"Don't seem to be able to take a hit."

"Young Master Chen, are there any other programs?"
