Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yuan Jingfu was dead!
No one had expected things to develop like this.
A high and mighty existence was crushed and killed by a young man.
The surroundings turned deathly silent, except for the muffled gasps of fear and shock.
Then, the entire martial arts platform collapsed, leaving only the spot where Ye Chen stood untouched.
Everyone present gulped and looked at each other.
“Grandmaster Yuan is dead?”
“Is this really happening?”
“In just ten minutes, three grandmasters died… How can this be?”
“It seems that things in River City and Jiangnan Province are about to change…”
Jin Lengyan’s father stood up from his seat, trembling.
“How did this kid do it?”
“Dad… I don’t know.” Jin Lengyan’s mind was completely blank.
Zhou Zhengde’s murky eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. He waved his fist fiercely and shouted, “Good, good, good!”
Zhou Fulu’s face was filled with disbelief. “Dad, he shattered the martial arts platform… Is that really him? Why doesn’t it feel that way?”
Zhou Zhengde narrowed his eyes.
“I have the same feeling. If Mr. Ye had such strength, he could have killed everyone from the get-go. There was no reason to suffer those injuries. It seems that there are secrets that he is hiding.”
Ye Lingtian was not far away from Ye Chen. His eyes were fixed on Ye Chen as he clenched his fists tightly.
Although he did not know how the Hall Master did it, this battle alone was enough for his name to be recorded in the history of Huaxian martial arts!
He had killed one of Huaxia’s top 4.00 grandmasters in one move!
Even Ye Lingtian was not capable of this feat!
“It seems like I have to speed up my preparations. Hall Master’s journey will soon take him beyond River City and Jiangnan Province. At some point, he will shake all of Huaxia!”
The ones who were most shocked were Wu Xiangming and the other referee, Wang Zhixin.
Both of them were ranked in the top 500 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, so they were the only ones here who could possibly understand what had happened.
However, they could not understand what happened either!
Wu Xiangming had thought that Ye Chen’s refusal of his invitation to join the Wu family was due to arrogance, but it looked like the Wu family was unworthy of offering such an expert protection in the first place!
Given Ye Chen’s strength, he could destroy the Wu family’s thousand-year-old foundation!
“Grandmaster Wu, is that person really an ancient martial artist? Why does it feel like something is amiss?” Wang Zhixin asked with a trembling voice.
Wu Xiangming stared at Ye Chen. After a long while, he said, “Based on my observations, he is not an ancient martial artist. He’s probably a cultivator.” “What?!” Wang Zhixin subconsciously took a step back. “There really are cultivators in this world? Then, is the transcendent realm just the beginning? Are the legends true?”
Wu Xiangming nodded and his face turned serious.
“I’m worried that Ye Chen has revealed too much. If word gets out that he killed three grandmasters in front of so many people, he’ll definitely become the public enemy of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association and even Huaxia’s martial arts world.”
“Some forces will definitely act to remove a potential threat, whether by hook or by crook.”
“Also, according to the rules, there should be an expert from the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association secretly monitoring this duel. If this person manages to get away, then they will hunt Ye Chen down!”
Wang Zhixin’s expression changed. Just as he was about to say something, an angry voice rang out from a thousand meters away.
“Ye Chen, how dare you kill the Vice President of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association! They will definitely hear about what happened today! Your death is only a matter of time!”
Everyone looked toward the source of the sound of the voice and saw a black shadow fleeing quickly.
“Not good! That person has escaped,” Wang Zhixin and Wu Xiangming exclaimed.
Once this person left, the news that Ye Chen was a cultivator would spread throughout Huaxia!
Everyone looked at Ye Chen, who was still calmly standing on the sole remaining piece of the martial arts platform. He still had his hands behind his back.
Ying Qing hurriedly said, “Mr. Ye, I’ll help you intercept this person!”
Just as he was about to give chase, a faint voice rang out.
“There’s no need for that.”
Ying Qing stopped in his tracks.
“But…”
“If I want to kill someone, even if they arc thousands of miles away, nothing can stop me!”
A trace of coldness flashed across Ye Chen’s eyes.
Seconds later, Ye Chen opened his right hand as true qi from his dantian gathered in his palm. His entire body started to exude a fiendish aura as it sucked in all of the spiritual qi within a ten-mile radius.
An illusory sword gradually condensed in his palm, which glowed with golden and red light, and was suffused with his killing intent.
The onlookers were terrified by this scene. What was happening was beyond the boundaries of common sense!
Was this some sort of special effect?
Was this a movie?
Was that sword real?
Ye Chen ignored their confused gazes and glanced at the fleeing figure in the distance and sneered.
“Although the Fiendish Fist sect does not specialize in sword control techniques, we can still use them.”
Sou!
The illusory sword cut through the air as it flew toward the fleeing expert.
The person felt a chill run down his spine and turned his head abruptly to see what was going on. However, before he could react, the illusory sword pierced his body.
“Bang!”
He disintegrated into a haze of blood particles instantly!
He did not even have the time to scream!
When the grandmasters present saw this, their faces turned pale.
What kind of sorcery was this?
Was Ye Chen even human?
Hold on…
Was he going to kill them to silence them?
Sh*t!
Ye Chen swept his gaze across the surroundings, and seemed to be talking to himself for some reason.
“Brat, let me give you a piece of advice. Arrogance should be built on the foundation of strength. I still have about six hours left. Before I disappear, I’ll do you a favor and erase their memories.”
“However, there will be people who will speculate about what happened today.
I hope that before those people take action, you will be strong enough to protect yourself, or at least become strong enough to activate the second tombstone!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuntian, who was controlling Ye Chen’s body, waved his hand. A bright light engulfed the surroundings and erased most of the memories of what had happened, primarily the ones related to when Luo Yuntian started controlling Ye Chen’s body.
After all, shocking the world would only harm Ye Chen at this point..
