He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice forced out through clenched teeth, filled with deep resentment: "You spoiled brat of the Qin family, I'll kill you!"
Ye Chen's face was covered in cream, his expression contorted in rage. He wiped it away abruptly, leaving several messy white streaks. With a powerful thrust of his feet, the ground trembled. He transformed into a blurry shadow, lunging once more at Qin Xiao, who had barely managed to regain his footing.
This time, he carried an undisguised killing intent!
The speed was at least twice as fast, and the wind from the punches created a sharp whistling sound!
Deadly crisis!
Qin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart clenched violently!
[Lucky Brake] is still cooling down, so it's completely unreliable!
Activate the [Detective System]!
Buzz—!
In an instant, Qin Xiao's senses were amplified infinitely. The whole world seemed to slow down.
Ye Chen's distorted face, bulging muscles, the trail of the strong wind he created, the surrounding guests retreating in terror, the dust flying in the air under the lights, the distribution of cream on the ground... a massive amount of information flooded in like a tide, and his brain worked, analyzed, and filtered at an unprecedented speed!
A flaw! A glimmer of hope! Where are they?!
[Detection system in progress...]
[Target: Ye Chen] [Weakness Analysis: Extremely arrogant and easily angered, prone to underestimating opponents and acting rashly. Currently in a state of rage, judgment is reduced by 15%. His right knee has a history of injury, resulting in a 0.05-second delay in power generation during high-speed zigzag movements. He primarily uses his right straight punch or palm strike, and has weak lower body defense.]
[Environmental Analysis: Increased smooth floor areas (wider range of cake frosting), densely packed guests forming human walls, and obstacles (overturned carts, scattered tableware, several chairs leaning precariously).]
[Optimal response scenario: Roll 45 degrees to the left and rear to dodge, using the cart wreckage as cover and a tripping dart, causing its attack to miss and then using the slippery ground to disrupt its balance... Success rate: 15%!]
Still only 15%? That probability is despair-inducing!
But there was no time to hesitate! This was the only way out that the system had calculated!
Qin Xiao reacted almost instinctively, his body reacting just as Ye Chen's fist was about to hit him!
He suddenly did an extremely awkward roll to the left and backward, his shoulder scraping the ground as he went. His movement was incredibly clumsy, but he barely managed to avoid Ye Chen's sure-fire strike!
His body came to a stop right behind the overturned cake cart.
boom!
Ye Chen slammed his fist on the floor, causing a tiny crack to appear in the hard marble surface!
His attack missed, and Ye Chen's anger flared even more, his eyes turning bloodshot. He wanted to immediately change direction and give chase, but his foot precisely stepped on a large chunk of cream he had flicked off his face earlier!
Slurp——!
The arrogant young master of the Dragon King Palace suddenly slipped!
Despite his extremely strong core strength, he managed to stabilize his lower body and avoid falling, but his body couldn't help but sway slightly, and his center of gravity shifted significantly, completely disrupting the fluidity of his attack!
Now!
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
A fierce glint flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes!
He himself has little combat ability, relying entirely on system analysis and a bit of luck! The [Detective System] can not only analyze, but also provide the best response instructions in an instant, guiding the body to make the most effective movements!
He grabbed a heavy stainless steel plate that had just rolled off the cart, his arm muscles tensed instantly, and with all his might, he aimed at Ye Chen's wide-open lower body due to his loss of balance and swung it hard!
This attack was completely haphazard, a pure street brawl with wild, unorthodox punches. But with the assistance of the [Detective System], the timing, angle, and force were perfect!
Ye Chen had just regained his footing and was about to pounce again when he never expected that Qin Xiao, this good-for-nothing, would not only dare to fight back but also specialize in attacking his lower body! He also never expected that this attack would be so tricky!
In the rush, he could only instinctively raise his calf to block!
clang--!
A dull, loud metallic clang!
The stainless steel plate slammed solidly into Ye Chen's shinbone!
The pain shot through my entire body like an electric shock! It felt like my shinbone was about to crack!
The impact of the plate didn't cause much actual damage, but the excruciating pain, along with the frustration and anger of having his attack rhythm interrupted again, almost made Ye Chen lose his mind!
More importantly, Qin Xiao used this brief gap to widen the distance once again!
Moreover, his current position is exactly two meters diagonally behind Gu Siqing!
"Ye Chen! Stop!" Old Master Gu Changfeng of the Gu family snapped out of his shock. His face was ashen, and he slammed his cane against the ground with a dull thud as he shouted.
At the same time, several agile guards from the Gu family immediately stepped forward and silently surrounded Ye Chen, preventing him from continuing his attack.
If Ye Chen continues to act recklessly here, not only will he lose face, but the entire Gu family will also lose face!
Ye Chen's chest heaved violently, like a wild beast enraged. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Qin Xiao, as if he wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear him to pieces.
But he still retained a sliver of reason. This was Gu family territory; forcibly taking action would not gain him any advantage. On the contrary, it would thoroughly enrage the Gu family, resulting in more harm than good.
Moreover, Qin Xiao, that good-for-nothing... is definitely not right!
In both encounters, he defused his attacks in an extremely awkward yet inexplicable way! Especially the second time, the timing of that attack on the lower body was so cunning that it was unlike that of an ordinary spoiled brat!
"Good! Very good!" Ye Chen forcibly suppressed the surging anger in his chest, took a deep breath, and curled his lips into a cold smile. His voice was as piercing as ice.
"Qin Xiao, I'll remember you!"
"We'll see!"
His sinister gaze swept over Gu Siqing's cold expression like a venomous snake, then cast a venomous glance at Qin Xiao. With a sudden flick of his hand, amidst the complex and astonished gazes of the guests, his face covered in cream and filled with endless resentment and anger, he turned and strode away.
