Just as the few people below the stage were talking, the battle on the platform underwent a world-shaking change. After trading punches with Pei Yan, the one whose body was sent flying back and brushed past him wasn't Nero, but his two companions, Ivan and Di Xin, who split left and right to pincer Pei Yan.

Seeing this, Pei Yan remained calm and unhurried, bent his waist, and slammed a punch down onto the ground.
