Chapter 91 Betrayal and Fury
On the school building's balcony, Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock as he witnessed a startling scene in the distance.
There, his girlfriend, Liu Qian, was locked in a passionate kiss with another guy! His expression was one of sheer disbelief; even from afar, he could unmistakably identify Liu Qian.
And looking at the guy, by the looks of it, it was Long Tian! Ye Chen's heart throbbed with searing pain. There was no way he could accept his girlfriend being kissed by someone else, and worse, Liu Qian seemed to be enjoying it.
"Ye Chen, hey!" A shout came from behind.
Ye Chen turne and saw five people dressed in the same school uniform. He almost forgot he was here to confront Yu Gai, a bully.
"Hey boss, look at his expression. He seems really angry, hahaha," one of them laughed.
Yu Gai sneered, "Heh, are you so angry with me? Quite daring, it seems like you need more bruises on your face," he said with a grin, clenching his fists.
Ye Chen remained silent, but his anger grew as he looked at them. His fists clenched, and with anger surging within him, he charged toward Yu Gai and launched a sharp punch.
Bang!
Yu Gai was immediately sent flying, crashing into the wall.
The other four were surprised, but Ye Chen didn't give them a chance to react. He mercilessly attacked them one by one.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of punches echoed on the balcony, and the five individuals lay unconscious. Ye Chen, with blood on his fists, headed toward the gate.
He ignored his surroundings, his mind now filled with the image of his girlfriend kissing Long Tian!
He should have seen this coming. Since Liu Qian started going to the market with Long Tian, he had felt a sense of foreboding.
And sure enough, this noon, he saw her cheating!
After sort of time, Ye Chen had arrived near the gate, but he couldn't see Liu Qian and Long Tian anymore.
He gritted his teeth, his gaze locked onto the bustling road where cars zipped past. Without a second thought, he broke into a sprint, his thoughts solely fixated on the distressing image of his girlfriend locked in a kiss.
Seeing his girlfriend being kissed, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by. Even though Long Tian was powerful, he was far from invincible. Death was not something he feared.
****************
Meanwhile, on a highway flanked by forests on both sides, Long Tian was seated inside a car alongside Liu Qian. They were en route to her house, and Long Tian had indeed contacted Liu Hai to pick Liu Qian up.
"Don't overthink it, Liu Qian. You've made the right choice by following your heart," Long Tian said, his tone reassuring.
"I feel guilty. He's been pursuing me since the first year of high school. And a month ago, I accepted his love," Liu Qian responded, guilty evident in her voice.
"Three years, huh... Are you sure it's love and not just pity?" Long Tian inquired, his tone carrying a weight of depth.
Liu Qian fell into silence upon hearing this. Long Tian's question struck a chord within her. Was it truly love she had felt for Ye Chen? If that were the case, why had she allowed Long Tian to kiss her and even spend the night with him? Those thoughts only made her feel even more guilty.
"I'm just..." her voice trailed off as Long Tian suddenly slammed on the brakes.
She looked ahead and spotted a teenager in the same school uniform. Her surprise was evident when she saw him.
"What the hell! Is he looking to die?" Long Tian said, furrowing his brow.
He honked the horn to make the teenager move, but he stayed put.
"Long Tian, he's Ye Chen, my boyfriend," Liu Qian suddenly said.
"What? Your boyfriend?" Long Tian raised an eyebrow, then grinned, "It seems like he knows about us, did he see us kissing by the gate?" he said, his tone playful.
Liu Qian remained silent, her expression filled with concern. If Ye Chen had witnessed their kiss, he would undoubtedly be furious and disapproving.
"Long Tian, step out if you're a man!" Ye Chen shouted.
Hearing this, Long Tian grinned. "I'll talk to him," he said.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to step out, but Liu Qian suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Don't hurt him, okay?" she said with concern.
"We'll just talk, don't worry about it," Long Tian replied.
Though still worried, Liu Qian let go of her hand and allowed Long Tian to leave. She wasn't worried about Long Tian, but rather about Ye Chen. Their strength was like heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, Long Tian walked toward Ye Chen, his expression calm yet playful.
"I'm here, what are you going to do?" he said, crossing his arms.
"What's your relationship with Liu Qian?" Ye Chen asked, his tone as cold as ice, his fists clenched.
"She's my friend," Long Tian answered casually.
"Don't lie! A few days ago, you went out with her to the market, and just now..." he gritted his teeth, "Did you kiss her?" he finally asked.
Long Tian smirked, unfazed, "Oh, you caught that, huh? Well, we shared a kiss by the gate. You see, her lips were so soft and delightful; I could savor them all day," he replied, grinning.
Upon hearing this, anger surged within Ye Chen. "You bastard!" he roared, launching himself at Long Tian.
His fists clenched, and he unleashed a barrage of powerful punches.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The punches rained down on Long Tian, but Long Tian effortlessly blocked them.
Bang!
Long Tian caught one of the punches, instantly sensing that Ye Chen's cultivation was at the Body Tempering realm. However, his strength appeared significantly above the norm for an ordinary cultivator in the same realm.
He chose to deliver a punch on Ye Chen's face.
Bang!
Ye Chen was hurled onto the road, with visible bruises on his face. He tried to get up, ignoring the pain in his face.
But at this moment, Liu Qian stepped out of the car.
"Ye Chen, that's enough. You won't be able to beat Long Tian," she immediately said.
Hearing this, Ye Chen gritted his teeth. "So, you're defending Long Tian over me, your own boyfriend?"
"I'm being realistic, Ye Chen. Long Tian is much stronger than you. Back off. It's for your own good," Liu Qian reasoned.
Ye Chen stood up, wiping blood from his mouth. "So, it's true, you kissed him in front of the gate? How deep is your relationship with him?" he pressed, demanding answers.
Liu Qian found it hard to speak.
"Answer me!" he shouted.
Without further hesitation, Liu Qian replied, "Yes, I kissed him!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was overwhelmed with a sense of madness. "Why, Liu Qian? Why? You promised to be faithful to me. So, my suspicions were correct; you've been cheating with Long Tian!" He shouted.
This time, Liu Qian didn't deny it, but she was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Long Tian, with his arm around Liu Qian's waist, chimed in. "Now that you know the truth, Ye Chen, why don't you just step back and head home? Oh, and don't forget to wear your green hat," he grinned.
Ye Chen's rage exploded. "I'll kill you!" he roared, lunging at Long Tian.
Long Tian released his grip on Liu Qian's waist and advanced.
His fists tightened, and as Ye Chen drew near, he delivered a punch to his face.
Bang!
Ye Chen was sent sprawling once more, but he swiftly regained his footing. He launched another relentless assault on Long Tian. His strength seemed to surge exponentially with his mounting anger.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Facing these attacks, Long Tian blocked them with ease, though he could feel Ye Chen's strength growing stronger over time.
At this moment, he seized both of Ye Chen's hands.
"You know, Ye Chen, we didn't just kiss. A few nights ago, I even slept with her. I've explored every inch of her body, and you can imagine how pleasurable that was," he said, licking his lips.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock. At the same time, his heart felt as though it had been pierced by hundreds of swords, incredibly painful.
"I'll kill you!" He screamed, his anger erupting, granting him a surge in strength.
Ye Chen was enveloped in a golden aura. "Raaaaaargh!" he shouted, launching a punch.
Bang!
The punch sent Long Tian tumbling, but he swiftly regained his composure. It was a punch almost on par with the white tiger he had faced a few days earlier.
"I had my suspicions from your name alone. The golden aura, the surging strength, and your background. It appears I wasn't mistaken; I've discovered a new protagonist," he remarked.
A crimson aura emanated from his body, accompanied by a powerful pressure that filled the atmosphere.
"With this, I have a reason to kill you!"
