"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
The seventh elder's head banging against the wall was accompanied by Tang Chen's roar echoing in the hall.
Tiger-like eyes glinted with aggressive red light.
A palm as wide as a fan firmly pressed against the seventh elder's swollen cheek, with five fingers clutching tightly onto his skin.
The domineering power and authority of a clan elder were displayed in full.
The entire hall fell deathly silent; every person trembled, with mouths tightly shut, not daring to utter a word.
Even a fool could see the patriarch was extremely enraged.
No one dared to step forward to plead for the seventh elder, lest they incur his wrath.
However, they also keenly noticed what Tang Chen had just said.
It seemed that Tang Chen was quite apprehensive of the man Yuehua favored.
Given Tang Chen's gentle and appreciative demeanor towards Yuehua just now, could it be that the young man indeed had some extraordinary background?
"I am asking you, do you know who Yuehua's beloved is?!"
Tang Chen's fingers exerted force, twisting the seventh elder's face, with cracking sounds emitting from his skull, his agony clear for all to see.
The fear of death gushed from the depths of the seventh elder's heart; his expression was one of panic as he begged pitifully.
"Patriarch, please spare my life, please spare me."
"I truly don't know who the young lady Yuehua fancies; could he really have a Tongtian-level background?"
At this time, even if the third elder was frightened, he could no longer stand by and watch, for the seventh elder was his own brother.
"Patriarch, please have mercy! Perhaps Yuehua's favored man does have a Tongtian-level background, but our Hao Tian Clan is also a top power, second to none. Why are we so apprehensive then?"
Tang Chen slowly turned his head to look at him, his gaze fierce.
"Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?"
"I..." The third elder, seeing his brother who might be choked to death in the next second, moved his lips and finally bowed his head, saying, "I wouldn't dare."
"If you wouldn't dare, then kneel down!" Tang Chen bellowed, his dominance unmatched.
An overwhelming presence descended upon the third elder like a deluge, releasing the blood-red Killing God Domain, as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down upon him.
With a thud, the third elder knelt directly, his knees smashing into the floor tiles, shaking the ground.
Yuehua witnessed this scene.
Her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Could it be because of something her man had done that led to such a drastic change in the patriarch's mood?
This... this was simply too inconceivable.
However, seeing the two elders who had been giving her trouble sinking to such a state, Yuehua couldn't help feeling much relieved.
They had not treated her like family just moments ago, let alone respected her.
Therefore, she felt not the slightest sympathy for them.
"Heh."
Tang Chen, with a grip on the face, pulled the seventh elder's head out of the wall and flung it viciously next to the kneeling third elder.
He spat at them harshly.
"Two ignorant fools."
"Meddling like a dog trying to catch mice."
"If not for the fact that you are of the same clan, I would have killed you right now."
"Hah, you don't feel wronged, do you?"
Tang Chen looked around, saw the blank stares of everyone, and finally pointed at the two brothers, the third and seventh elders, speaking coldly:
"If I had come back too late."
"And you two idiots went looking for trouble with little Yuehua's man."
"And then, if you offended him."
"Don't say just you two would die; the whole Hao Tian Clan would be annihilated."
"Titled Douluo? Tch, tch."
"I tell you, Titled Douluo counts for nothing!!"
"If you provoke that guy, not only will all of you die, I, this ancestor, will be dragged down by you to your graves."
The crowd around twitched their eyelids, their pupils shrinking sharply, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Tang Xiao, disregarding the danger, couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor..."
Tang Chen scolded:
"Don't call me ancestor; Yuehua's man is the real progenitor."
He moved his feet, emitting a terrifying aura, and circled the room once.
"You don't think I'm exaggerating, do you?"
"Doubt that I've gone mad outside and am spouting nonsense?"
"Let me tell you all, you have absolutely no idea what it means that there are heavens beyond this heaven, and people beyond this world."
Tang Chen snorted coldly, finally letting out a long sigh.
"At this point, I no longer fear losing face, so I'll be frank with you all to prevent anyone who is blind from provoking them and ultimately bringing calamity upon our entire clan."
"Compared with that terrifying youngster, my meager cultivation level is nothing but a fart!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed throughout the room.
Every face was exaggerated to the extreme.
Even the third elder and the seventh elder seemed to have forgotten their pain, their eyes bulging like copper bells, their mouths gaping as if they could swallow a whole pig.
"How... how can this be?" Tang Xiao shook his head repeatedly, finding it hard to believe; it was beyond imagination.
"But our ancestor is already at the pinnacle of humanity," the eldest elder muttered as well.
Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes shook, it's him.
What exactly had her man done to even impress the ancestor?
"Me, at the pinnacle of humanity?" Tang Chen gave a bitter smile, "I'm just a clown who has been toyed with by deities and has wasted countless years."
"Had it not been for Yuehua's lover saving me, I would still be in a dazed state right now, soon to meet my death."
"Expecting you all to save me? Impossible in this lifetime, it would be good enough if these descendants of mine don't cause my end."
"What??" The crowd exclaimed in shock, "Someone could harm you, Ancestor?"
Tang Chen laughed at himself with a mouth full of bitterness.
In the end, he didn't want to put up that useless front anymore and shared with everyone how he had pursued the legacy of deities and ended up being calculated by the Rakshasa God.
One by one, everyone's eyes filled with fear.
"Conspiracies by deities from behind the scenes, no wonder the ancestor was nowhere to be found, and nobody could find him."
"That's a god!!"
"An existence far beyond mortals."
Tang Yuehua swallowed the salivation in her mouth with difficulty, saying in shock and difficulty:
"Ancestor, what you mean to say is..."
"Brother Yu saved you from the hands of deities?"
"Impossible, how can it be possible, the one you love is just a young man, there's no way he could fight against deities," Tang Xiao shook his head repeatedly, "Maybe it was the power behind him that acted."
"Power my ass." Before Tang Yuehua could respond, Tang Chen cursed first: "With his invincible demeanor, what need does he have for any power behind him? He alone is the greatest power under the heavens!"
He looked at Tang Yuehua, his tiger eyes filled with respect.
"Little Yuehua, do you know?"
"Your man, not only did he save me from the hands of a deity..."
"But he also directly killed the terrifying deity who tried to calculate me!"
"What?"
The incredulous exclamations burst out simultaneously in an instant.
Everyone was so shocked they nearly jumped to their feet.
"How can it be, how can it be!" Tang Xiao shook his head repeatedly.
The third and seventh elders looked as if they had been struck by thunder from the ninth heaven, their facial features magnified, standing rooted to the spot.
Even Tang Yuehua, who knew Luo Yu inside out, having a relationship as close as Guan and Bao or as intimate as milk blends with water, was utterly dumbfounded at this moment.
"Her own man, for the sake of the ancestor, no, to fulfill a promise to himself..."
"He slaughtered a deity??"
