“Guys, surround him for me.”
Sun Zhe was feeling irked, he let out a roar.
His burning gaze kept sweeping over Zhao Bingqian’s ample chest, thinking to himself that if he could get a feel, he’d be ecstatic.
At that moment, his buddies rushed up and encircled Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian.
Ye Haochuan frowned, recalling the last time he taught Sun Zhe a lesson; there were even more people then than now.
Yet this brat seemed to have not learned his lesson, so he must have some reliance.
Ye Haochuan guessed right; Sun Zhe wouldn’t dare to provoke him if he didn’t have something to rely on.
“Ye Haochuan, it’s really like looking for a needle in a haystack, and suddenly, when I turned around, you were hiding out here.
Dammit, I was just looking everywhere to settle scores with you, and you’re actually here,” Sun Zhe said, pointing at Zhao Bingqian and then to Ye Haochuan, “Let’s set aside our business for now.
First, tell me, what’s your relationship with my future wife?”
Zhao Bingqian rolled her eyes upon hearing this and rebuked, “Who is your future wife?
Watch your mouth and just look at your ugly mug.”
Sun Zhe chuckled and said, “If I say you’re my future wife, then you are.
Hmph, the women I, Sun Zhe, want, none can escape the palm of my hand.”
Zhao Bingqian was so angry that her chest trembled.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, Ye Haochuan gave a slight smile, pulled her behind him, and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this guy.”
Zhao Bingqian uttered an “oh” and obediently stepped back.
This scene did not escape Sun Zhe’s eyes, and his eyes blazed with jealousy.
“You just asked me what my relationship with her is, right?
Listen up, she’s my girlfriend,” Ye Haochuan announced loudly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bingqian’s face blushed as she thought, who’s your girlfriend, wishful thinking!
However, since Ye Haochuan was helping her, she didn’t bother to clarify.
“Shit!” Sun Zhe was furious and said viciously, “Ye Haochuan, you dare to touch my woman, tell me how you want to die today, and I’ll oblige!”
“My dear grandson, shouldn’t I be the one saying that to you?” Ye Haochuan laughed.
Sun Zhe completely lost it.
His surname being Sun often led to people teasing him by calling him “grandson,” which made him very sensitive about it.
“Ye Haochuan, stop being so damn cocky.
If I don’t beat you to death today, then I’m not Sun Zhe,” said Sun Zhe.
After speaking, he took out a small plastic bottle, spilled out a pill, swallowed it himself, and then tossed the bottle to the others.
“Are they taking drugs?” Zhao Bingqian couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, “As if taking drugs would increase their combat capabilities?
Ye Haochuan didn’t join in, his brow furrowed.
With his inheritance of the Holy Hand’s knowledge, how could he not recognize the pill?
It was actually a Body-Strengthening Pill!
The effects of the Body-Strengthening Pill were extremely domineering.
After consumption, it would stimulate the human body’s potential, enhancing strength and speed, even more than stimulants.
However, the effect of the pill wouldn’t last long, usually disappearing after a mere quarter of an hour.
Moreover, one couldn’t take too many of these Body-Strengthening Pills, as they had a significant side effect: they accelerated aging.
Suddenly, a faint cracking sound was heard.
Ye Haochuan immediately noticed that Sun Zhe, who had taken the Body-Strengthening Pill first, began to swell.
His bones and muscles were expanding, making his clothes puff out, and sections that were too tight simply tore apart.
In a short while, Sun Zhe had transformed into a Schwarzenegger-like figure, his muscles exuding explosive strength.
The employees at the traditional Chinese medicine shop, watching from a distance, also opened their mouths in disbelief.
“This is so freaky…” Zhao Bingqian covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open in shock.
“Qianqian, don’t be scared, I’m here,” Ye Haochuan said gravely.
“Hmm, uncle, I believe in you.” Zhao Bingqian nodded, a determined expression showing on her sweet and innocent face.
Ye Haochuan then placed Zhao Bingqian behind him, but to his surprise, the girl didn’t seem scared at all, which he found odd.
“Aren’t you afraid?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
“What’s there to be afraid of?
Isn’t Uncle with me?” Zhao Bingqian asked, tilting her head and giggling lightly, her utmost trust in him filling Ye Haochuan with an overwhelming protective instinct.
If it had been anyone else, they would probably be scared to death by now, but not him.
To Ye Haochuan, those who relied on Body-Strengthening Pills to bolster their strength were no match for him; he could take them down within minutes.
Of course, he wasn’t entirely without apprehension.
However, he had already scoped out his surroundings and noticed that that Eighth Master was not nearby.
This undoubtedly gave him confidence.
Actually, he hadn’t intended to provoke Sun Zhe so soon because he didn’t want to face that Eighth Master prematurely.
That Eighth Master was extremely powerful, and without reaching the Postnatal Early Stage, Ye Haochuan wasn’t confident he could win against him.
But now, with Sun Zhe provoking him, it meant there was no way back.
He had no choice but to confront the challenge.
Besides, deep down, he had a burning desire for that Copper Furnace.
If he could snatch it from Sun Zhe, it would undoubtedly speed up the refinement process and enhance the quality of the Qi Condensation Pills he crafted.
At this moment, Sun Zhe’s companions had also ingested the Body-Strengthening Pills and undergone their metamorphosis.
“Ye Haochuan, scared, huh?
If you know what’s good for you, get away from my future wife.
I’ll just cripple one of your legs.
If you don’t listen, I’ll cripple three,” Sun Zhe inflated with his post-transformation physique, his face bloating atypically, making him look grotesque as he spoke.
“Scared?” Ye Haochuan laughed loudly, “You want to take out three of my legs?
You’ll have to see if you’ve got the ability to do that.”
Seeing Ye Haochuan remaining arrogant, Sun Zhe lost his patience and shouted, “Guys, take this son of a bitch down.”
Immediately, Sun Zhe’s companions pounced like bloodthirsty beasts, their speed astonishing onlookers.
Just then, the panicked owner of the herbal medicine shop ran over, hoping Sun Zhe would take the fight outside.
“Get the hell out of here.
Keep on blabbering, and I’ll take you down too,” Sun Zhe snapped.
Post-transformation, Sun Zhe’s face was terrifying.
The shop owner, horrified by his threat, went pale and shrank back.
Ye Haochuan was now locked in combat with Sun Zhe’s companions.
It was undeniable that these men, after consuming the Body-Strengthening Pills, were very fast, but Ye Haochuan was even faster.
Everyone there could hardly make out his movements, and in the blink of an eye, two of Sun Zhe’s companions were struck in their vital spots and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
Then, under the dazed gaze of Sun Zhe, the remaining companions were all taken down by Ye Haochuan in less than half a minute.
“Ah, it hurts so much.”
“Ouch, my arm is going to break, damn it, that guy really hits hard!”
“Fuck, Young Master Sun, call 120 quick, I feel like all my organs are shattered.”
A series of agonizing screams rose from the ground, leaving Sun Zhe completely baffled and incredulous, “Impossible, impossible, how can this guy be so powerful?”
“My dear grandson, didn’t expect this, huh?” Ye Haochuan clapped his hands, stepped forward, and said with a smirk, “Did you really think that with Body-Strengthening Pills, you could threaten me?
You’re being far too naïve!”
