Xiao Ding hurriedly said, "Su Ning, I told you long ago that Su Feng's death had nothing to do with anyone else! And absolutely nothing to do with Chen Jie!"
"Your son deserved to die!" Chen Jie suddenly said.
Seeing him say this, Xiao Ding became anxious.
Su Ning's face, however, turned incredibly grim.
Then, Chen Jie looked at Su Ning and said, "If you want to know, then I'll tell you why your son died!"
"At the time, your son was about to be killed by Kong Lou. If he had offered me a satisfactory condition, I would have been willing to save him. However, to protect the auction item, your son not only refused my terms but also threatened me!" Chen Jie said indifferently.
"Kid, so you watched my son die?" Su Ning's voice was sinister as he spoke.
Chen Jie sneered, "No one can threaten me! Let alone not saving Su Feng, even if he could have survived, I wouldn't have let him live!"
Huang Jing and the others looked at Chen Jie in shock.
He actually dared to speak to Su Ning in such a tone!
Yin Manman sneered inwardly, thinking he was courting death.
"Hahaha..."
Su Ning burst into mad laughter. "My son! You died so unjustly!"
Then, he pointed at Chen Jie, "You, who caused my son's death, are unforgivable!"
"Take him down!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, five subordinates stepped forward towards Chen Jie.
"Wait!"
Xiao Ding shouted, "Chen Jie is my friend, Xiao Ding. If you attack Chen Jie, it's equivalent to being my enemy. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Su Ning glanced at him disdainfully. "Others may respect you, Xiao Ding, but I, Su, don't value you. If you dare to help him today, you won't escape either!"
"You, you're too overbearing! Chen Jie didn't do anything to Su Feng, why are you blaming him?" Xiao Ding was furious.
Su Ning said, "Not saving my son is the same as killing him!"
Xiao Ding said anxiously, "Chen Jie is the son-in-law of the Wang family. Have you thought through the consequences of attacking him!"
Su Ning smiled contemptuously. "The eldest daughter of the Wang family will soon find a new love, and he will eventually be abandoned by Miss Wang. He's not a threat to me! Attack!"
Xiao Ding was greatly alarmed.
Recently, due to issues with the auction house, most of his staff had left, and he didn't have many people available.
Now, if Su Ning truly attacked, he really couldn't help Chen Jie.
Thinking of this, he secretly operated his phone and sent a text message to Yi Zhengtian.
Meanwhile,
As a few subordinates were about to move against Chen Jie, Tang Ruotong, who had been silent, suddenly cried out angrily, "Damn it! Chen Jie is my boyfriend. If you attack Chen Jie, what do you think of me, Tang Ruotong? You're looking for death!"
Tang Ruotong let out a cold laugh, leaped forward, and landed directly in front of them.
Engaging in combat with them.
"Tang Hai's daughter, Tang Ruotong?" Su Ning's expression darkened, and then he shouted, "The Tang family is nothing before me. If she dares to block us, then kill her!"
Thus, the five men no longer hesitated and attacked.
Bang bang...
As soon as Tang Ruotong made her move, she was shocked. These five were all Xuan-level martial artists.
Their movements were not only agile and swift but also powerful.
She was no match for them.
From afar, Yin Manman watched this scene, clenched her fists, and said angrily, "Tang Ruotong, I didn't expect you to be such a devoted admirer of Chen Jie!"
Tang Ruotong snorted coldly and said nothing.
Huang Jing and the others, after their surprise, looked at Tang Ruotong with amusement.
They hadn't expected this woman to be a martial arts expert.
But that was all.
On their way here, they had learned that all the people brought by the Su family today were martial artists!
No matter how skilled she was, it was useless.
This was the consequence of being a devoted follower who ended up with nothing!
Ah!
At this moment, Tang Ruotong was caught off guard and kicked in the back.
Just as she thought she was doomed, a protective light shield suddenly appeared on her body, shielding her completely from harm.
Instead, the person who kicked her was repelled backward.
"What is this?" Su Ning's eyes narrowed, greatly shocked.
Tang Ruotong, however, was filled with joy.
Was this the power of a protective artifact?
Now, with the protective artifact on her, she had no fear and adopted a strategy of trading injuries to inflict harm.
She could injure others, but when they attacked her, they were repelled.
A permanent protective artifact was truly powerful, not only requiring no charging but also providing perfect defense.
Chen Jie frowned.
He could see that even with the protective artifact, Tang Ruotong could only barely repel these attackers.
He immediately called out, "Tang Ruotong, come back."
"I won't!" Tang Ruotong stubbornly replied. "You are a distinguished guest of our Tang family, and I must protect you! Don't worry, the Su family won't dare to do anything to me!"
"Is the Tang family truly going to go all out against our Su family for this brat?"
"In that case, you, you, and you, go and capture Tang Ruotong!"
Su Ning's expression darkened, and he suddenly pointed at several young men.
Those young men nodded in agreement, "Yes!"
Then, they expressionlessly charged towards Tang Ruotong.
Bang bang bang...
These men displayed astonishing strength, far exceeding that of the previous Xuan-level experts.
When they struck Tang Ruotong, they not only didn't get repelled but actually forced Tang Ruotong to retreat repeatedly.
Su Ning looked at Chen Jie from afar with disdain, "It will be your turn soon."
"No need to wait. I can kill you now."
Chen Jie's expression turned cold, and he was about to make a move.
From afar, an off-road vehicle suddenly sped towards them.
Inside the car sat Yi Zhengtian and Zhou Shu in the front, with renowned masters from Pingcheng in the back.
Yi Zhengtian, who was driving, suddenly floored the accelerator. The off-road vehicle roared and charged towards the men who were attacking Tang Ruotong.
Bang!
The men engaged in combat completely failed to notice the approaching vehicle.
Three of them were sent flying far away.
Boom!
Over a dozen masters leaped out, and the car roof was torn off.
They puffed out their chests and glared, "How dare you attack Master Chen! You all deserve to die!"
"Master Chen, we apologize for being late! Rest assured, if the Su family has people, so do we! We'll fight if necessary!"
Saying this, Zhou Shu glared at Su Ning. "Old scoundrel Su! Master Chen is not someone you can provoke. Get lost now, or we won't stand by and watch!"
"This, this is Master Zhou!" Huang Jing suddenly pointed at Zhou Shu, saying in shock.
San Mao asked, "Master Zhou? Is he very powerful?"
"Nonsense, they are from the master circle in Pingcheng, said to be powerful Taoist priests from the mountains! Such people actually speak for Chen Jie?"
The group gasped. If Master Zhou's status was so high, then weren't the others around him equally formidable?
Yet, these people were willing to stand by Chen Jie's side.
