Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 666: The Strong Xu Zhentai

The figure in black was none other than Hu Deyao.

Ye Taiqing wasn't at all surprised to see Hu Deyao appear. They had long considered him one of Xu Ke's men. After halting his advance, he wasted no words and immediately swung his fists, propelling a wave of overwhelming True Qi straight toward Hu Deyao's face.

"Child's play. You dare show off in front of a master?"

With a cold snort, Hu Deyao surged forward. His kick was a blur, whistling through the air with the sharp, piercing force of a drill as he aimed it straight for Ye Taiqing's groin. If it connected, Ye Taiqing probably wouldn't be riding into battle for the next three days.

"Despicable!" Ye Taiqing cursed inwardly, but his body still dodged on pure instinct.

That single dodge slowed his momentum. Seeing his chance, Xia Wenfeng immediately turned to leave without so much as a word of thanks.

On the battlefield, any delay, even a single second, was a waste of a comrade's sacrifice. Xia Wenfeng couldn't stop to say more. However, as he picked up speed, he was filled with admiration.

He truly is worthy of the title Seasoned Envoy! His schemes run so deep; he must have hundreds of tricks up his sleeve. I thought I was a goner, but then reinforcements arrived! As for Fang Caizhe, I never planned to bring him along. Besides, he was standing far away from the start, clearly separating himself from the four Northern Dragon Guards. There's no way to take him now.

Watching Xia Wenfeng about to escape with the four men, Nie Yuntian grew desperate. "Stop right there!"

"Shut it!"

Han Wang and Ye Lang sneered, grabbing Nie Yuntian. They not only prevented him from stopping Xia Wenfeng, but his moment of distraction also allowed them to wound him.

"Argh…!" Nie Yuntian screamed.

Seeing this, the three Fire Guards' eyes turned cold. "Kill all five of them!"

The trio thrust their palms forward, sending Shi Hongda and the Yin-Yang Elders screaming in agony. Then, their combined auras locked onto Xia Wenfeng as they decided on the spot to kill one of them.

But just then, a lazy voice suddenly spoke up from behind the three of them.

"Hey. I've been here for a while. Aren't you even going to look at me?"

In that instant, the raucous gymnasium fell eerily silent.

The Fire Guards froze.

Who is it? Who could appear behind us without us noticing at all?

Horror crept onto the faces of Nie Yuntian and Ye Taiqing.

Who owns that voice? When did he get here? Why didn't we notice anything?

Meanwhile, Shi Hongda and the Yin-Yang Elders stood dumbfounded. The owner of that voice is clearly not our enemy, which only makes this more terrifying... Since when was Xu Ke hiding someone like this?

Only Han Wang and Ye Lang remained relatively calm. They weren't panicked; on the contrary, they were ecstatic. When they saw Hu Deyao intercept Ye Taiqing, they almost howled with joy. Our efforts weren't in vain! The wait is over!

Tang Yingchang stared at the grey-shirted, buzz-cut middle-aged man standing behind the Fire Guards. He wore a mask just like Xia Wenfeng. "Mister Xu, who is he?!" Tang Yingchang exclaimed in shock. "Could your master have sent someone?"

He couldn't help his shock. This man managed to bypass everyone's perception, even fooling the Fire Guards. His strength must be far beyond theirs. A person like that... is probably a legendary Peak Level Maestro, on par with the Medical Saint or the Martial Saint. If the Medical Saint really sent him, then Xu Ke's power will become unimaginably heaven-defying!

However, Xu Ke simply stared at the middle-aged man and murmured in astonishment, "He wasn't sent by my master." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Even with the mask, the loose clothes, and the surging True Qi I've never seen before... Xu Ke still recognized the man in a single glance. It was precisely because he recognized him that he was so stunned.

How did I never know one of my own elders was this powerful?!

"Ah? Then who is he?" Tang Yingchang asked, amazed. Not sent by the Medical Saint? Then who is he?

Xu Ke swallowed hard. "He… he's my second uncle."

"Second uncle?!" Tang Yingchang gaped in disbelief, his eyes bulging as he stared at Xu Ke.

I clearly remember Xu Ke's father is only middle-aged, so his second uncle must be around the same age... A Peak Level Maestro this young? Holy shit! You, Xu Ke, are at the Innate Initial Stage at twenty-five. Your master is renowned nationwide. Your second uncle is a middle-aged Peak Level Maestro? Does your family even let other people live?!

Indeed. The newcomer was Xu Ke's second uncle, Xu Yi's father, Xu Zhentai.

After Hu Deyao learned of Xu Ke's plan, he decided something so important had to be reported to Xu Zhentai. He didn't even stop to check on Xu Yi's condition, instead hurrying straight back to Jiang City. Once informed, Xu Zhentai realized the matter wasn't so simple. He knew that Yan Xuehai, as the Long Capital Martial Alliance Leader, was slyer than the oldest fox. Xu Ke would not achieve his goal so easily. Thus, he accompanied Hu Deyao to Tianhai. By morning, he had already found a comfortable spot in the gymnasium to observe in secret, wanting to see Xu Ke's scheme for himself. When the Fire Guard trio appeared, he could tell that Xu Ke had miscalculated. But seeing how much his nephew seemed to be hiding, he became curious to see how the boy would react when faced with death.

As it turned out, Xu Zhentai was surprised to find that Xu Ke did indeed have an ace up his sleeve. Other masters at the Innate Great Perfection stage might not have seen it, but he could. Xu Ke's secret technique was ridiculously powerful, and combined with the boy's strange strength, it could certainly unleash an earth-shattering power. He had never expected, however, that the boy would use his secret technique with the intent of helping others escape first.

That's when Xu Zhentai got angry. Cursing under his breath, he could no longer sit still and charged down. This brat is just like his father! Truly cut from the same cloth! He certainly couldn't just stand by and watch Xu Ke get hurt.

At this moment, Xu Zhentai stood behind the three Fire Guards, strolling leisurely to the rear of their triangle formation. The aura that felt apocalyptic to Han Wang and the others had no effect on him whatsoever.

After a brief inspection, Xu Zhentai chuckled. "So it really is the Three Talents Formation! You've used it well!" He continued, "Indeed, it takes triplets to maximize the potential of such formations. You lot are the best I've ever seen at using one—truly worthy of the Martial Saint's Shadow Guard!"

"Who are you?" one of the Fire Guards demanded, his face paling. The triplets retreated several steps in unison, putting distance between themselves and Xu Zhentai.

They were no longer concerned with Xia Wenfeng and the others. Deep down, they were terrified. Xu Zhentai was too mysterious; they couldn't detect any specifics of his cultivation at all. Either he was extremely weak, or he was so powerful they couldn't begin to gauge his strength. Based on their experience, the conclusion was simple: it was obviously the latter.

"Does it matter who I am? I'm here to solve Xu Ke's problem." Xu Zhentai clapped his hands lightly. "And it's quite clear," he added nonchalantly, "that you are the problem."

"Sir, do you intend to make an enemy of us?" the Fire Guard who had yet to speak finally asked, his eyes filled with apprehension. He didn't want to fight a powerhouse of unknown origin like Xu Zhentai.

Hearing the question, Xu Zhentai frowned, then asked tentatively, "Am I to understand that you're threatening me?"

"Sir, we…" the Fire Guard began to speak.

"A simple yes or no will suffice," Xu Zhentai said impatiently.

"Sir…" The Fire Guard still refused to answer directly.

Xu Zhentai had run out of patience.

BANG!

He exploded into action. Before anyone could react, he slapped one of the Fire Guards, sending the man flying backward.

"ARGH!!" The Fire Guard's scream pierced the silence of the gymnasium.

In that moment, the entire crowd watched, stunned, as the Fire Guard trio—who had just seemed like gods descended to earth—was effortlessly broken by a single slap. Expressions froze. Jaws dropped. Everyone stared blankly, their minds buzzing in disbelief.

Holy hell, he's too damn strong!
