CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 781, IS THIS ALL YOU’VE GOT?

The scene was dead silent!

Everyone was tensely looking at Shen Qinglan, and the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere, creating an almost suffocating illusion!

Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, Shen Qinglan casually took off the priceless diamond necklace from her neck and tossed it aside, uttering coldly, "I never intended to marry you; I’m here today only because I had no choice. How could this be called calling off the wedding?"

Boom!

A simple statement was like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone present to gasp, with a tidal wave surging in their hearts!

No one expected Shen Qinglan to say such things in public!

Although she is a top domestic celebrity, marrying into the Ye Family would definitely be an unimaginable good fortune!

But who could have thought that she would say the words ’had no choice’ in front of everyone?

Ye Jin’s expression instantly froze, his handsome face showing a ferocious look, and a powerful anger erupted from his whole body, like a raging lion, giving people a strong sense of oppression!

He initially thought today would be his happiest day, but who could have imagined that his fiancée would want to call off the wedding publicly?

"Qinglan, what are you saying? How can you be so impulsive?" Shen Qinglan’s father stood up in terror, although it’s already midday in early autumn, beads of cold sweat were visible on his forehead!

Other members of the Shen Family also showed faces full of fear, not expecting Shen Qinglan to publicly make such a declaration, not only trying to call off the wedding but also announcing to the world that the Ye Family was bullying!

This act was like a slap in the Ye Family’s face!

"Dad, I’m not acting impulsively." Shen Qinglan’s attitude was resolute: "I could never marry Ye Jin; I’d rather die than marry him!"

Ye Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Qinglan, in what way am I inferior to that guy?"

"In my eyes, he’s better than you in every way!" Shen Qinglan said this as she walked toward Chen Nan!

The atmosphere seemed to solidify into substance.

Ye Jin’s face twisted with rage, veins bulging like dragons on his neck, and his originally handsome eyes were full of bloodshot, strikingly red.

"Good! Very good!" His voice squeezed out from between his teeth, each word wrapped in immense anger: "Shen Qinglan, how dare you humiliate my Ye Family like this! Today, I’ll show you the consequences of insulting my Ye Family!"

As he suddenly raised his hand, twelve black-clad bodyguards appeared like ghosts, stepping in strange movements with poisoned short blades glinting with eerie blue light under the sunlight.

Seeing this scene, the guests present held their breath.

Someone recognized the origins of the twelve figures in black and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Those are the twelve protectors of the Ye Family. It’s said that these people have reached Grandmaster Level strength, and when the twelve join forces, they are invincible!"

"This young man is doomed; he’ll surely die at the hands of the twelve protectors!"

"The moment he appeared, his fate was already sealed!"

"Indeed, the Ye Family’s dignity cannot be violated!"

"That guy must have lost his mind, or he’s seeking death; daring to come to the Ye Family to snatch the bride is as foolish as pulling hair from a tiger’s head!"

The crowd discussed in whispers, their gazes toward Chen Nan filled with coldness and mockery, as if looking at a person about to die!

"Kill!"

At the command, twelve dark shadows attacked Chen Nan with a heavenly and earthly formation.

The three in the forefront twisted their wrists, the poisoned blades tracing tricky arcs, aiming at the throat, heart, and Dantian respectively.

The nine behind simultaneously swung black chains, weaving them into an airtight web of death.

Chen Nan didn’t even lift an eyelid.

When the first poisoned blade was only three inches from his throat, his figure suddenly blurred for an instant.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull sound of impact roared like thunder, and the crowd saw only a shadow flashing through the crowd.

The three who attacked first suddenly froze in place, their wrists holding the knives twisted at odd angles, and the poisoned blades clattered to the ground.

The crisp sound of spines fracturing followed, as the three fell limp like mud.

The chain web behind tightened suddenly but snapped into pieces the moment they touched Chen Nan’s clothes.

Chen Nan’s figure ghostly moved through the fragments of the chains, and as he passed, one black-clad bodyguard after another flew into the air, then slammed heavily to the ground!

The whole process took less than a breath!

Ye Jin’s pupils shrank violently as he clearly saw Chen Nan keeping his right hand behind his back, using only the left hand to deal with all the Death Warriors.

More frightening was that none of the poisoned blades left even a white mark on Chen Nan’s skin.

"Is that all you’ve got?" Chen Nan dusted off his sleeves on non-existent dust, showing a playful expression: "You’re underestimating people too much!"

All present gasped, their pupils trembling violently, clearly not expecting Chen Nan’s strength to be so formidable!

After all, the prowess of the twelve protectors was terrifyingly exceptional.

Yet he instantly mangled all of them!

It was evident that this guy’s strength had also reached the Great Grandmaster realm; otherwise, there was no way the twelve protectors would be defeated so thoroughly!

"Does anyone else want to stop me?" Chen Nan held Shen Qinglan’s hand, calmly looking around.

Wherever his gaze landed, everyone instinctively turned their heads away, not daring to meet Chen Nan’s eyes, which were profoundly intimidating, creating a strong deterrent!

"Chen Nan, you are greatly underestimating my Ye Family!" Ye Wudao slowly stood up, his face naturally commanding respect, now burning with anger!

At the same time.

Ye Wudao also emitted a powerful aura, spreading like a volcanic eruption in all directions, causing the guests to feel an almost suffocating illusion!

After all, Ye Wudao was a top-tier powerhouse in the Jianghu.

"It’s truly unexpected to see Senior Ye display his skills today, such opportunities are rare indeed!"

"Yes, Senior Ye is the leader among eight Great Grandmasters, a super-elite; seeing him take action is something I could brag about for a lifetime!"

Many whispered among themselves, every eye watching Ye Wudao filled with excitement and anticipation, eager to witness the scene when Ye Wudao takes action!

"So, Senior Ye intends to keep me here then?" Chen Nan wore a smile of intrigue, showing no fear even in front of the top authority in the Jianghu.

On the contrary, he still looked eager at heart.

He wanted to feel the strength of the pinnacle of the Jianghu combat prowess, curious about how his own power compared!

Ye Wudao snorted coldly, "Youngster, you come to my son’s wedding attempting to steal the bride; this is a challenge to the dignity of my Ye Family, so even if I kill you, what of it?"

Upon hearing this, a charming curve appeared at Chen Nan’s lips: "Make a move then, let me see if your reputation as the pinnacle of Jianghu combat prowess is just empty fame!"
