As the saying goes, one sides with their own rather than with reason.
If Liu Yuan were out and about and could stand idly by while watching his friend be bullied;
then what kind of friend would he be?
Moreover, Liu Yuan understood Tang Ya.
This girl had a carefree personality; she sometimes spoke and acted without thinking, making it easy for her to inadvertently offend people.
But she wasn't malicious; she was loyal and a kind-hearted girl at her core.
Given her personality, she would never easily resort to violence unless the other party was being excessively overbearing.
Since a conflict had broken out, the problem likely lay with that group of guys.
Therefore, at this moment, Liu Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and struck directly.
Among the attacking Spirit Masters, a burly bald man grinned hideously as his third spirit ring suddenly lit up. His fist, wrapped in yellow light, carried immense power as it smashed straight toward Tang Ya's delicate shoulder!
If this punch landed solidly, Tang Ya would inevitably lose her combat effectiveness instantly, even if her bones and tendons weren't shattered!
Tang Ya's face turned pale. The Blue Silver Grass vines she had hastily condensed were tightly entangled by the opponent's companions, and she saw no way to dodge!
In that split second!
An afterimage flashed past like a phantom!
"Bang—!!!"
A dull explosion like a drumbeat, accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering bones, rang out violently!
The bald man, who was about to succeed, still had the grin frozen on his face when his entire body was instantly lifted off the ground and sent flying backward!
With a loud crash, he smashed through two tables and finally slammed heavily against the restaurant wall. After a muffled groan, his head slumped to the side, and he actually fainted on the spot.
This sudden turn of events brought the fight to a screeching halt.
The remaining Spirit Masters looked at Liu Yuan, who had suddenly appeared in front of Tang Ya, staring at each other with faces full of uncertainty and shock.
As for Tang Ya, who had just escaped disaster, she stared at the familiar back with a face full of shock, her beautiful eyes widening instantly.
"Liu... Liu Yuan?! Why are you here?!"
Liu Yuan didn't turn around, only offering a faint smile. His voice was calm and reassuring: "We'll talk later. For now, let me deal with these flies for you."
Hearing that familiar voice, Tang Ya felt a surge of joy, but then she became nervous again: "Be careful! There are many of them, and they aren't weak!"
"Many of them?"
Liu Yuan seemed to have heard something funny and simply gave a slight smile.
The next second, he moved.
The space around him seemed to distort for a moment as he left a faint afterimage in place, and then—[Extreme Speed] activated!
"Whoosh—!"
A streak of black flowing light, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, flashed between the remaining four Spirit Masters!
The four of them didn't even have time to react before they felt an irresistible and terrifying force strike their abdomens, chests, and faces from different angles. Their vision spun as they followed in their companion's footsteps.
They were sent flying like torn sacks, screaming as they landed in a heap on the ground. Clutching their agonized bodies, they groaned and whimpered, unable to get back up.
Moreover, this was the result of Liu Yuan deliberately controlling his strength.
Otherwise, with his current power, he could have used a hundred different ways to kill them on the spot in that single instant if he had wished!
The entire restaurant fell into a dead silence.
Everyone was dumbstruck by this swift and decisive battle that could only be described as a complete crushing.
Liu Yuan brushed off non-existent dust from his hands, his cold gaze sweeping over the wailing figures on the ground. He spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion:
"Leave the money to compensate for the restaurant's damage and my fee for mental distress."
"Then, I'll give you three seconds to vanish from my sight."
"Otherwise, I don't mind letting you all die here."
As his voice fell, a faint but piercing Killing Intent spread out, and the temperature in the restaurant seemed to drop by several degrees!
