Not far away, a short knife appeared in Jiang Song’s hand, and he pressed it against Xia Ruoxuc’s neck.
One move was all it would take to end Xia Ruoxue’s life!
“Ye Chen, if you dare to touch my senior brother, Miss Xia will die,” Jiang Song threatened.
At this moment, Xia Ruoxue did not panic at all. Instead, she looked at Ye Chen in surprise.
Why was this guy here?
Was he here to save her?
Xia Ruoxue looked around again. When she saw the horrible state of the corpses, her eyes were filled with fear.
Could it be that Ye Chen had done all this?!
Jiang Song saw that Ye Chen did not speak and continued, “I know you’re very strong, but you’re here to save this woman, so you’d better not act rashly. We’re just cheap lives, but Miss Xia is the noble daughter of the Xia family of Jiangnan Province. You should know her value very well.”
Ye Chen was expressionless. He sighed.
“You shouldn’t have touched her. You really shouldn’t have.”
“Hmph!” Jiang Song snorted coldly, “Kid, enough of your nonsense. Kneel down right now! Otherwise, this woman will die!”
“Ye Chen, don’t listen to him. He won’t dare to kill me,” Xia Ruoxue said.
When Jiang Song saw that Xia Ruoxue was not cooperating, he was infuriated.
“B*tch, shut up or I’ll break your neck!”
With that, he glared at Ye Chen and ordered, “Release my senior brother and kneel down! Hurry!”
“You want me to kneel? Are you sure?”
Ye Chen’s calm voice sounded as if he had heard a funny joke.
Jiang Song was about to say something when Ye Chen moved. One of his hands grabbed the neck of the Jiang family expert in front of him. Then, he snapped it.
His cold killing intent filled the surroundings.
Jiang Song’s pupils constricted. He had not expected Ye Chen to remain unmoved even after he threatened him.
Was he disregarding the threat? Did he truly believe that he would not go through with it?
Ye Chen tossed the corpse away and walked toward Jiang Song slowly.
Although Jiang Song had a hostage in his hands, he was the one panicking at this moment. Ye Chen’s aura was too terrifying!
He grabbed Xia Ruoxue and took a few steps back.
“Don’t come closer. If you do, I’ll really kill this woman! No matter how strong you are, no matter how fast you are, my knife is faster!”
“Is that so?”
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile. Then, a stream of true qi shot out of his fingertip and transformed into an arrow.
“Puchi!”
It pierced Jiang Song’s forehead!
Jiang Song’s eyes widened. What was that?
“Bang!”
His body fell backward, completely devoid of life.
Ye Chen glanced at Jiang Song’s corpse and said calmly, “You should be the one who spoke to me on the phone. I gave you a chance on the phone. If you had chosen to let Ruoxue go, you might have had a different ending. Unfortunately, you dug your own grave.”
Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were fixed on Ye Chen. This man had given her too many surprises today.
As the noble daughter of the Xia family, she had seen all kinds of people, even ancient martial arts experts!
However, none of the experts could do what Ye Chen did!
She suddenly thought of the genius of the Qin family whom her father was forcing her to marry. Did Ye Chen’s strength surpass that genius?
If so, would he be able to change her father’s mind?
At least at this moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of security.
Ye Chen had already walked over to Xia Ruoxue and said worriedly, “Are you hurt?”
Xia Ruoxue shook her head. “No, I’m not.”
“Alright, let’s go. Many people are worried about you,” Ye Chen said.
After all, in order to find Xia Ruoxue, all of the forces in River City had been mobilized.
Moreover, when Ye Chen came to Beilun Port, he found a few corpses outside. It was obvious that someone had come here, but was killed by those people. Otherwise, news about Xia Ruoxue’s location would have reached River City.
Ye Chen then sent out a few text messages asking those people to stop looking for her. He also asked Ye Lingtian to send people over to examine and dispose of the corpses.
Those corpses should contain clues to who was behind this.
No matter what faction or family it was, Ye Chen had to uproot it!
Suddenly, Xia Ruoxue stopped in her tracks. Her cold and intelligent eyes stared straight at Ye Chen.
“Are you really an ancient martial arts expert?”
Ye Chen was stunned and nodded.
He was actually a cultivator, but he did not want to explain too much. The ancient martial arts world and the cultivation world were both existences that revered martial arts, and their essence was the same.
Xia Ruoxue hesitated for a long time before asking, “Then do you know about the Qin family in Jiangnan Province?”
Ye Chen frowned and shook his head.
“I don’t. Did they offend you? I don’t mind helping you to destroy them.”
When Xia Ruoxue heard that Ye Chen was going to destroy the Qin family, she gasped and waved her hands.
“No, no, I was just asking.”
Ever since she was young, Xia Ruoxue would hear the name of the Qin family at almost every banquet or family meeting.
To all the families of Jiangnan Province, this name was like a high and mighty existence.
She had never visited the Qin family’s residence, nor had she seen anyone from the Qin family. However, it did not hinder her understanding of the Qin family’s terrifying strength.
It was almost impossible for Ye Chen to destroy the Qin family!
In fact, Xia Ruoxue wanted to reject this engagement and fight for her own happiness. This was why she left the Xia family so early and came to River City.
However, as time passed, she realized that there was not much time left for her, especially when she found out that the person she was engaged to was actually from the Qin family.
If she resisted, not only would something happen to her, but the entire Xia family might also cease to exist.
‘Forget it. I’ll take one step at a time and hope that an opportunity will appear.’
At the same time, in the Chen family’s villa, all was silent.
Chen Baoguo and Jiang Yuanli stared at the big screen without saying a word.
They even felt somewhat suffocated.
Seven grandmasters could not even kill a young man in his twenties!
What a joke!
No one would believe this!
However, the naked truth was in front of their eyes, and they could not refute it.
After a long time, Chen Baoguo broke the silence and said, “Based on his strength, he is worthy of being ranked on the grandmaster rankings.”
Jiang Yuanli nodded.
“However, from the looks of things, this guy didn’t use any martial arts techniques. He suppressed them purely with strength. It’s either that our disciples are too weak for him to even bother using martial arts techniques on, or he doesn’t know martial arts techniques at all..”
