Just three hammers

Wang Dachui took a step forward, glaring angrily at Gun Gun, his golden hammer shining brightly.

A stream of light continuously condensed on the hammer, clearly indicating he was gathering strength.

"This hammer blow will surely take your life! Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique! Thunderous Strike!"

Hum!

Swish!

A beam of golden light exploded from Wang Dachui's hammer, and the dazzling golden glow instantly spilled outwards, forming a golden light wave that surged toward the surrounding crowd.

"Such powerful Aura!"

The surrounding people were forced to close their eyes by the radiance of the golden light.

Wang Dachui suddenly leaped into the air and slammed down heavily towards Gun Gun.

Bang!

A loud boom echoed, a sound far greater than the last time.

It felt as if it had slammed into everyone's hearts, causing them to tremble.

Their eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at the scene before them.

This scene truly filled them with intense shock.

"So strong!"

Wang Dachui popped a qi and blood pill, as if this strike had drained most of his strength.

Xiao Fan stood to the side, his eyes fixed intently on the thick smoke before him.

"Could it be that even after this strike, Ye Chen's pet will still remain unscathed?"

Xiao Fan felt it was absurd, yet secretly held some faint anticipation.

The crowd also widened their eyes, watching the scene before them.

The thick smoke dissipated, and Gun Gun remained standing on the spot, arms crossed over its chest, completely motionless.

The arrogant little expression on its Face said it all.

"This! How is this possible!"

"Even if you can't kill it, it shouldn't be completely uninjured!"

The crowd was stunned!

If one were to say Wang Dachui's previous hammer blow didn't cause anything because the damage wasn't enough.

But for this strike, Wang Dachui had used at least seventy percent of his strength!

It's impossible for there to be absolutely no injuries!

The surrounding people gasped, their eyes wide.

Wang Dachui also took two steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Bastard! If you have the guts! Today I want to see if your pet's head is harder, or my hammer is harder!"

Wang Dachui took a pile of things from his inventory—red ones, white ones—and swallowed them all at once.

The Aura on his body instantly surged tremendously.

"Brother Ye Chen, be careful, this guy has taken drugs that boost his attack!" Xiao Fan called out to warn him.

Ye Chen nodded and gave Xiao Fan a reassuring look.

"Go to hell!"

"Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Full Power Strike! Explode!"

Wang Dachui's Face was twisted in a snarl, veins bulging on his neck and arms.

He possessed an Aura of fighting to the death.

The surrounding people were shocked by this intense Aura and instinctively took two steps back.

"Ah!"

Wang Dachui roared, raised his hammer high, and brought it down heavily.

Bang!

A violent explosion rang out, and smoke immediately filled the air.

But Wang Dachui did not leave; he roared again.

"Ah!"

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and the doors on both sides of the street rattled from the intense blast.

Some poorly crafted glass was shattered instantly.

Wang Dachui bent over, gasping for breath, his hammer supporting his body. He looked as if he had just come out of a sauna, his Face and forehead covered in sweat.

"If this strike had landed on me, I'm afraid I wouldn't live to see tomorrow's sun!"

"Heh, let alone you, even a Lord-level monster wouldn't be able to handle it."

A flash of shock passed through Xiao Fan's eyes; it seemed Wang Dachui's strength exceeded even his expectations.

The crowd watched the location where Gun Gun was without even blinking.

"It must be dead now, right?"

Some sharp-eyed, clever people shook their heads and said: "It's fine, look, isn't that pet standing there completely unscathed?"

The crowd looked at Ye Chen, and only then did they snap out of it.

The thick smoke dissipated, and Gun Gun walked out, smacking its lips.

It came up to Wang Dachui, stared at him with its big eyes, let out a sigh, and shook its head slightly.

The damage was minimal, but the insult was immense!

"Brother Wang, the three hammer blows have been received. We are even now, right?"

Ye Chen said calmly with a smile.

Wang Dachui looked at Ye Chen with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, but finally gritted his teeth: "I, Wang, always keep my word. We are even. From now on, I will not take a single cent of protection money from this Chen Xin Trading Company!"

"Good, many thanks, Brother Wang!" Ye Chen laughed and cupped his hands.

Ye Chen didn't become arrogant because he had won; after all, this was someone else's territory, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Wang Dachui gave Ye Chen a deep look and raised his hand. Someone quickly ran over and helped Wang Dachui up.

"Let's go!"

Wang Dachui and his group left without looking back.

"Boss! Are we just going to let this kid go like this?" a lackey asked.

"Otherwise what! We, the Heavens Chosen Alliance, must keep our word. If we don't keep our word, who will dare to deal with us or do business with the Heavens Chosen Alliance in the future!" Wang Dachui raged.

The lackey beside him didn't dare to speak again.

But the person who had been slapped by Ye Chen was clearly still unwilling: "But Boss, we lost Face because of this kid, are we just going to let him go like this?"

Wang Dachui glared fiercely at the man: "Lost is lost. Am I, Wang Dachui, someone who can't afford to lose? Is Face more important, or is credibility more important!"

The man lowered his head and didn't speak again, but he turned around and glared fiercely at Ye Chen, cursing in his heart: "Ye Chen, you just wait for me, I will definitely not let you off! I will make you pay back this humiliation a hundredfold one day!"

Xiao Fan came to Ye Chen's side and laughed: "Ye Chen, what a great method! Even the people from the Heavens Chosen Alliance have been thwarted by you; I truly admire you!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Brother Xiao Fan, you flatter me, it was just good luck."

"You are truly hiding your strength deep!" Xiao Fan teased in Ye Chen's ear.

Ye Chen laughed twice and didn't say much more.

The surrounding people were all shocked.

"He's truly too strong! Which faction does this Ye Chen belong to, how can he be so strong?"

"Just now, that Xiao Fan beside him said he was a bounty hunter from the Law Enforcement Alliance, could this Ye Chen be one too?"

"Hmm, very likely!"

Ye Chen walked into the Chen Xin Trading Company, and Elder Wu hurriedly welcomed him: "Lord Ye Chen, thank you so much for today's matter. If it weren't for you, this Chen Xin Trading Company would likely not have been saved!"

Ye Chen patted Elder Wu's shoulder and laughed: "It's nothing, we're all family. How is business here? Why did you suddenly open a branch here?"

"Business is okay. We have already opened branches in fifteen regions, all with dedicated people in charge. About a month ago, Leader Chen somehow got her hands on a pile of good items, all top-tier stuff, and sold them for a very high price, so we opened a branch here."

Elder Wu said with an extremely respectful attitude.

Ye Chen nodded. The items Elder Wu mentioned should be the ones he gave to Chen Ruxin.

He didn't expect Chen Ruxin to have such good business acumen, selling them for a good price and even opening so many branches.

Xiao Fan listened from the side, stunned. Ye Chen might not know what the concept of opening branches in fifteen regions meant, but Xiao Fan knew it perfectly well!

Especially opening a branch on the busiest street in the First Region—that alone was enough to explain everything.
