Even Chen Ye was a bit surprised at this moment. The coordination among the three generals was impeccable. If it were any ordinary expert, they would have surely been defeated by now.
But Chen Ye was different. He had long surpassed the limits of normal human abilities. Faced with such an assault, he stood his ground, unmoving.
Seeing Chen Ye make no attempt to dodge, both Commander Shao and General Lin Mei were astonished. Just as Commander Shao was about to warn him, Chen Ye moved.
With a casual push, Chen Ye sent General Deng, who was wielding the long snake spear, stumbling back three steps before he could steady himself, almost losing his grip on the spear.
Meanwhile, General Wu's large machete was already descending towards Chen Ye's face, and the arrow from General Chen was speeding towards him.
Chen Ye remained calm, clenching his right fist. His Armament Haki activated, turning his fist pitch black. He then punched forward to meet the machete head-on.
"Impossible!" Commander Shao was aghast. How could a human fist withstand a machete?
But it was too late to stop him…
The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.
Boom!
Chen Ye's fist clashed with the machete, shattering it into pieces that scattered to the ground. It was terrifying!
Immediately after, Chen Ye turned his fist into a palm and lightly slapped General Wu, sending him flying.
The hall fell silent, everyone momentarily forgetting to breathe at this display of sheer power.
By then, the arrow had reached Chen Ye. He casually used his telekinesis, causing the arrow to pause mid-air before he grabbed it with his left hand.
Catching an arrow bare-handed!
Then, Chen Ye quickly threw the arrow back at General Chen. The arrow flew faster than it had when shot from the bow, hitting General Chen's helmet and knocking it off his head.
Even a fool could see that Chen Ye had held back. Otherwise, that arrow could have pierced General Chen's face.
When the skirmish ended, the hall was silent. Everyone was stunned by Chen Ye's overwhelming strength. They all thought of one phrase: "God of War Descended!"
General Lin Mei's eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Ye. She had never seen such a powerful man. Raised in the military and trained like a man, she, like her fellow soldiers, revered strength. Chen Ye was the strongest man she had ever encountered. Even more impressive was his restraint; he had defeated the three generals without harming them.
"Good!" Commander Shao shouted, breaking the silence. "Your martial prowess is unmatched. On behalf of the three generals, I apologize to you."
No one felt any resentment anymore. Faced with such a formidable warrior, there was no room for defiance.
"Commander, there's no need for that," Chen Ye waved it off. He wasn't arrogant and acknowledged the courtesy shown by Commander Shao.
Commander Shao smiled, "When I heard you fought seven Taotie alone, I was skeptical. But now, I see it was no exaggeration."
General Wu, who wielded the machete, suddenly asked, "Warrior, how did you manage to break my machete with your fist?"
Chen Ye's punch had shattered the blade. If he hadn't held back, it could have killed him. Wu was grateful for Chen Ye's mercy and admired his strength, feeling no resentment.
"It's a secret technique I learned. When mastered, it makes one impervious to blades and spears," Chen Ye replied smoothly, using his feigned expertise skill, making his lie believable.
"Oh?" General Wu was intrigued. "Warrior, would you consider taking me as a disciple?"
"Ridiculous!" Commander Shao reprimanded. Asking to learn someone's secret technique right away was indeed impolite.
Chen Ye smiled and declined, "It's a family secret, not to be taught to outsiders."
General Wu looked disappointed.
"What is your name, warrior?" asked General Chen, the archer.
"My surname is Chen, given name Ye," Chen Ye answered.
"Chen Ye, let's spar with archery sometime!" General Chen still felt competitive about the arrow incident.
"Sure!" Chen Ye agreed with a smile. With his telekinesis, he could precisely control his shots, making any archery contest heavily one-sided.
