Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

The moment Chu Nan stepped into the main courtyard, four figures simultaneously appeared from both sides, surrounding him in the middle.

These four individuals possessed considerable power, each being a Grandmaster.

The four were guest retainers of the Jin family, responsible for guarding the mansion, and rarely took action themselves.

But with a formidable enemy at hand, the four of them discussed it and stepped forward at the same time.

"Kid, you're certainly a fighter, but with the four of us teaming up, we've never been afraid of anyone in East City!"

Chu Nan stopped and glanced at the four of them. "Enough with the nonsense, let's all come at you."

"Arrogant!"

The four men cursed each other, but attacked simultaneously.

After all, they had all witnessed how strong Chu Nan was just now.

The bald martial artist's heavy punch aimed straight for Chu Nan's head, the long-robed Taoist priest formed a hand seal and released a blade of energy, the old man in the old long robe grabbed Chu Nan's knee with one claw, and another threw out an iron chain.

The four attacks converged from four directions, their coordination was not particularly smooth, but they had the advantage of sheer numbers.

Chu Nan didn't move. When the four attacks were about a foot away from him, he suddenly stomped his feet.

"Bang!"

Golden energy exploded outwards from him, like a tornado rising from the ground.

The iron chain broke into several sections first, and the air blade shattered into pieces as if it had hit an impenetrable wall.

The bald martial artist's punch was rebounded by the qi, sending him flying backward and deforming his entire arm.

The Taoist priest in the long robe was thrown into the air by the shockwave and spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

The old man in the old long robe fared the worst. Before his claws could even touch Chu Nan, he was swept up by the qi and thrown out like a withered leaf, rolling seven or eight times on the ground.

One move... and all four grandmasters were crippled!

The entire main courtyard was completely silent.

Everyone seemed to be nailed to the spot, their mouths agape, yet unable to utter a sound.

"Four grandmasters working together, crippled in a single move—that's something no grandmaster could possibly do!"

"Grandmaster...this is definitely a Grandmaster!"

"Judging from his appearance, he looks to be in his early twenties at most. What kind of monster is this?!"

Chu Nan continued forward along the central axis avenue.

At the far end of the main courtyard, on the altar, Jin Jiucheng still sat there, motionless.

The distance between Chu Nan and him was only a hundred tables of food.

Just then, a gray-white figure emerged from the shadows beside the altar... Gu Changfeng.

He walked very slowly, each step precisely spaced, his gaze fixed on Chu Nan, calm and undisturbed.

Gu Changfeng looked at Chu Nan quietly. "Young man, your cultivation level is hard-earned. Why do you insist on ruining it?"

Chu Nan looked up at him. "I don't understand what you mean. I'm just here to take what is rightfully mine."

"Stubborn to the end..."

Gu Changfeng shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with regret, "However, it's not unjust for you to die at my hands."

"You?"

Gu Changfeng laughed, "Interesting. I haven't met a junior who dares to speak to me like that in a long time."

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from in front of the altar and appeared in front of Chu Nan the next moment.

Chu Nan took a step with his lotus-like footwork and moved sideways.

"boom!"

Gu Changfeng slapped the spot where Chu Nan had just been standing.

The bluestone slabs were blown apart as if by a bomb, kicking up a cloud of gravel and dust.

It's no longer a matter of one or two stone slabs shattering; it's a matter of everything centered on that palm strike.

The ground within a three-meter radius sank down, forming a pit about a foot deep.

The shockwave, carrying pebbles, shot out in all directions, overturning the two nearest banquet tables and shattering bowls, plates, and wine pots all over the ground.

The power of this palm strike was ten times more terrifying than the combined attack of those grandmasters.

If those guests hadn't reacted quickly and left before the attack, they probably would have been torn apart and killed by this true energy.

Gu Changfeng withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Not bad."

After saying that, he disappeared again.

This time it was even faster, so fast that it left only a faint afterimage in the air.

"Bang!"

Gu Changfeng struck from the side with a palm strike, and Chu Nan raised his hand to block.

The golden lotus-shaped aura collided with Gu Changfeng's grayish-white true energy, and a shockwave exploded between the two.

The surrounding bronze pillars vibrated and hummed, and Chu Nan and Gu Changfeng each took a step back.

"A very solid protective aura, but it's not enough, after all, I only used seven-tenths of my strength."

"Really? That's perfect, I didn't use any force."

Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes. "Then I wonder if you can withstand my full-force attack!"

The surrounding temperature began to drop, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Between Gu Changfeng's palms, a wisp of grayish-white air was spinning rapidly.

"The Monument Slayer!"

Gu Changfeng struck out with his palm, and the gray-white true energy transformed into a huge palm shadow, wrapped in a bone-chilling cold, and slammed towards Chu Nan.

Wherever the palm shadow passed, the bluestone pavement cracked with a "crackling" sound.

The rubble was swept up by the force of the energy, mixing with the grayish-white true energy to form a terrifying grayish-white torrent.

The banquets along the road were as if they had been bulldozed, with tables, chairs, and dishes being lifted into the air and then crashing down.

The three types of true energy within Chu Nan's body surged simultaneously.

Golden Qian-position true energy burst forth from every pore of his body, forming layer upon layer of energy shields around his body.

The surface of the protective shield was adorned with flowing lotus patterns, radiating a dazzling light.

Lotus Cover!

"boom!!!"

The golden light and the gray-white torrent collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

The entire courtyard was as if it had been swept by a hurricane. Even the guests who had moved far away early on were pushed back by the shockwave, and some even stumbled and fell on the spot.

The twelve bronze pillars with coiled dragons emitted a buzzing sound at the same time, like twelve giant bells being struck.

The shockwave rippled outwards from the two people, uprooting dozens of banquet tables and tearing the red carpet on the ground into pieces.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Chu Nan remained standing in the same spot.

The bluestone slab beneath his feet had shattered into a spiderweb pattern, with cracks extending outwards for seven or eight meters.

The surrounding banquet tables were overturned and littered with cups and plates, but Chu Nan himself was unharmed.

Gu Changfeng's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected that Chu Nan's protective aura would actually be so powerful.

"You're done? Then... give it to me!"

With the Lotus Step fully activated, Chu Nan's figure transformed into a golden streak of light, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters and appearing in front of Gu Changfeng.

With a punch, the golden true energy on the fist violently rubbed against the air, making a "sizzling" sound.

"Bang!"

Gu Changfeng crossed his arms and took the punch head-on.

The grayish-white protective aura collided with the golden fist force, and Gu Changfeng's figure slid backward, the soles of his shoes screeching as they rubbed against the bluestone slabs.

He took five steps back to regain his balance, the long sleeves on his arms were shredded by the force of the energy, and the veins on his exposed arms bulged.

Chu Nan pursued him, his fists striking like dragons.

The golden fist shadows merged into one, like a surging golden wave, pouring down towards Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng also went all out, his gray-white true energy flowing between his palms as he struck out one after another, clashing head-on with Chu Nan's fists.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two exchanged blows with lightning speed, like a barrage of bullets.

The force of the punches and the shadows of the palms tore countless white streaks in the air.

Waves of air spread outwards, turning the bluestone slabs on the ground up as if they had been plowed.

Those banquets that hadn't collapsed yet were now completely ruined; bowls and plates flew everywhere, and tables and chairs shattered.

It was as if the two people locked in combat in this courtyard were not two people, but two... giant dragons!
