From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 504 I'm not very interested in ordinary people, let's just be ordinary friends!

Inside the Starry Sky Café, soothing music, like a gentle stream, washes away the slightly restless afternoon air.

Soft, natural light streams through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Xu Xin sat opposite Li Chengqian, her slender fingers unconsciously stirring the coffee spoon in her cup. She lowered her head slightly, seemingly a little uneasy, her gaze occasionally rising to quickly sweep across Li Chengqian's face before swiftly falling back to the exquisite coffee cup.

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to be you." Xu Xin's voice was very soft, with a hint of a sigh that was hard to detect. "At school, you always seemed to be a loner, and you trained especially hard at the martial arts gym."

Li Chengqian leaned back in his comfortable chair, looking relaxed with a faint smile on his lips.

His mental energy field had already spread silently like mercury, enveloping the entire café and surrounding area. The two Xu family bodyguards disguised as ordinary white-collar workers in the corner, their slightly tense muscles and overly vigilant eyes, were as clearly visible to him as lights in the dark.

Of course, his target wasn't the two bodyguards from the Xu family, but someone else.

In the shadows of a small alley two streets away, a figure lurked, suppressing a violent aura like a trapped beast. That aura carried a familiar hatred and anxiety, like a volcano about to erupt. Although this person no longer posed any threat to him, the palpable killing intent still made him feel extremely agitated.

Dead leftover species!
Zhang Zehu!
Zhang Haobai's uncle, a member of the Tiger Fang Squad, is a Senior Warrior-level Martial Artist 2. Because Zhang Haobai's instruction to Zheng Hai to seriously injure him during a combat exercise was exposed, Li Tianhao used his connections to suppress the Zhang family, causing their family business to go bankrupt. Although Zhang Zehu, being a martial artist, was spared imprisonment, his squad, not daring to offend the increasingly powerful Li Tianhao, has expelled him from the squad.

Having lost a stable income and the protection of his team, Zhang Zehu can now only take odd jobs in the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan to barely make ends meet.

The family's decline, the loss of status, and the nephew's ruined future...

Zhang Zehu attributed all of this to Li Chengqian and the Li family.

Yesterday, someone told him that Li Chengqian would be at this coffee shop, so he lay in wait there early, like a wounded beast waiting for its prey, looking for an opportunity for revenge.

At that moment, Zhang Zehu, hiding in the shadows in the distance, stared intently through the glass window of the coffee shop at Li Chengqian and Xu Xin's table, his eyes bloodshot. He saw Li Chengqian chatting leisurely with the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and saw Xu Xin's occasional faint smiles. The jealousy and anger in his heart surged like magma.

"You little bastard...you ruined my Zhang family, and now you're here having a good time..." Zhang Zehu's teeth were grinding together, and his fingers gripping the knife handle were white from the force. He recognized Xu Xin, the daughter of the Xu family in the HR Alliance, which further aggravated his sensitive nerves, because his nephew Zhang Haobai seemed to be in love with this woman as well!
This only fueled his murderous intent even more!

After observing for a while, he noticed that Li Chengqian's attention seemed to be completely drawn to Xu Xin across from him, and he appeared relaxed and unguarded. He felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

"Now!" A crazy determination flashed in Zhang Zehu's eyes, and his body shot out like a spring compressed to its limit!

The full power unleashed by a high-level warrior is extremely terrifying!

A blurry figure burst through the crowd like a cannonball, the force of which sent several passersby staggering backward! In the blink of an eye, the figure had torn apart the glass door at the entrance of the cafe, and amidst a shower of sparkling shards and terrified screams, it hurtled straight toward where Li Chengqian and Xu Xin were!

"Li Chengqian! Die!" Zhang Zehu's face was twisted and ferocious with extreme hatred. The gleaming machete in his hand sliced ​​through the air with a shrill whistle, and slashed fiercely at Li Chengqian's head with the force of splitting a mountain!

This strike was unleashed in fury, gathering all his strength and resentment. Before the blade even arrived, the fierce wind had already made Xu Xin almost suffocate, and her pretty face turned deathly pale instantly!

However, Li Chengqian did not even raise his eyes in the face of this sudden and deadly attack.

He casually put down his coffee cup.

Just as the machete, powerful enough to cleave through armor, was about to touch him, a finger extended.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Zhang Zehu's frenzied charging figure and his unstoppable blade suddenly froze in mid-air!

The gleaming machete, its blade still sharp, was blocked by Li Chengqian's index finger, unable to advance an inch...

What kind of strength is this?
The café was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop. Everyone, including the two Xu family bodyguards who were just about to make a move, was stunned by this unimaginable scene.

Xu Xin covered her mouth with her hand, her clear eyes wide as she stared at the sudden turn of events. Li Chengqian slowly raised his head, his gaze calmly meeting Zhang Zehu's, who was standing close by.

"Zhang Zehu, it seems you have quite a few enemies. Using you to test me is truly clumsy!"

Zhang Zehu's mind was almost crushed by those two words! His eyes bulged, blood vessels instantly filled the whites of his eyes, and endless fear, like ice water poured over his head, instantly overwhelmed his previous hatred and madness!
With such strength, is he a war god, or a high-ranking general?
He must be at least a high-ranking general; otherwise, he couldn't have blocked his machete so easily, with just a finger!
After all, his machete was capable of slicing open the beast general's body, but now it was blocked by a single finger!

But the next moment, extreme fear gave rise to even more insane thoughts!

So what if they are high-ranking generals? So what if they are gods of war?
All beings are equal!

"Ugh—!" Zhang Zehu roared like a wild beast, his eyes flashing with a hysterical despair and ruthlessness. "Let's die together!!"

Suddenly, he pulled open his clothes, and everyone then discovered that under his coat, there was a device flashing red light.

Magnetic explosive bomb!!
Since the HR Alliance was attacked not long ago, the power of the magnetic explosive bomb has been deeply etched in the minds of everyone in Jiangnan Base City.

At this moment, chaos erupted in the café when they saw that this guy was strapped with a magnetic explosive bomb and was trying to detonate it.

He didn't even have the chance to beg for death!

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, a hint of pity in his eyes, as if watching a clumsy farce.

call! ! !
At this moment, Li Chengqian exhaled, and a cold aura spread out. Zhang Zehu's movements suddenly became stiff. Before he could even think of another idea, he had already turned into an ice sculpture.

The power of cold!

It surpasses the power of the God of War!

The symbol for a planetary star!

Upon reaching the planetary level, the first rule Li Chengqian comprehended was the rule of ice.

There was no way around it; he had almost thoroughly studied this rule. After all, in the Journey to the West world, the Jinghe Old Dragon's innate divine power was the Ice Soul Cold Light.

With his understanding of the Ice Soul Cold Light, analyzing the ice rules of this world was a piece of cake. Moreover, he also had Kryptonian blood, and Kryptonians could also breathe ice.

Zhang Zehu, now an ice sculpture, instantly lost the madness, hatred, and fear in his eyes, leaving them empty and lifeless, and he completely lost consciousness.

From the moment Zhang Zehu launched his attack to the moment he was frozen, the entire process took only two or three seconds.

Only then did the people in the café seem to wake up from a nightmare, bursting into gasps and shudders of fear.

The two bodyguards from the Xu family only reacted at this moment, their faces pale as they rushed over and stood in front of Xu Xin, looking at Zhang Zehu, who had turned into an ice sculpture, with cold sweat on their foreheads as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It's resolved." Li Chengqian smiled slightly at the still-shaken Xu Xin. "However, the security department will be busy from now on. Magnetic bomb, hehe, are people this brave these days when they're up to something?"

The HR Alliance was just decimated by this magnetic bomb a while ago, and now someone else is pulling this stunt right in front of them...

Is this an attempt to take advantage of the chaos, or is it simply a case of wanting to stir up trouble?
But these things are no longer his concern.

"Xu Xin, I've thought about it, and I feel we're not a good match. It's my fault; I'm not very interested in ordinary people," Li Chengqian said with a smile. "Besides..."

He turned to the two bodyguards from the Xu family and said, "Is the infighting within your HR Alliance this intense now? Always resorting to this kind of thing, are you even capable of handling it?"
