The woman looked behind her. There were already footsteps and the sound of car engines in the distance. It was obvious that her pursuers were coming!
She had to get inside!
Thus, she took out a broken sword that was covered in ancient patterns from her waist and handed it over.
“I’ll use this sword in exchange for your protection. How about it?”
Ye Chen was about to close the door when he saw the sword in the woman’s hand. His pupils constricted slightly.
A spiritual sword!
Although it was broken, its grade was definitely not low!
Also, Ye Chen had a way to repair it. Within the knowledge Luo Yuntian transferred to him was a method to reforge spiritual swords.
The Requiem Staff was the only spiritual weapon he had currently, but it was not an ideal weapon for his fighting style. Therefore, this spiritual sword was incredibly tempting.
In an instant, he made his decision…
Without hesitation, Ye Chen grabbed the broken sword and pulled the woman inside, throwing her onto the sofa.
“Bang!”
The door closed, and everything returned to silence.
Inside the villa, the girl exhaled, her chest heaving up and down.
She had made it in!
Now, it was up to this man to stop that group of people.
Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the masked woman and noticed that the scent of blood coming from her body was very strong, and it was not just from her injuries.
He concluded that this woman had killed someone important. Otherwise, she would not be pursued like this.
“Take off your mask and let me see your face,” Ye Chen sat on the sofa and said calmly.
His tone was calm, but his words brooked no argument.
The woman in black snorted coldly. “I’ve already given you the sword. This is a fair trade!”
“It wasn’t a question.”
Ye Chen waved his arm gently. Seconds later, her mask flew off, revealing her beautiful face.
Her long hair was as black as ink, her eyes were clear, her nose was high and narrow, and her temperament carried a hint of coldness.
She bit her bloodless lips and her face turned paler.
What surprised Ye Chen the most was the mark of a blooming red plum between her eyebrows.
In Huaxia, there were probably very few people who would have such a mark between their eyebrows. After all, they were now living in the 21st century.
The woman glared at Ye Chen angrily.
However, she knew very well that with her current strength and condition, she was in no shape to do anything about it.
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the villa, and they could hear frantic knocks on the doors of the other villas.
The woman looked a little flustered. She looked around and said to Ye Chen, “Where can you hide people here? They will definitely come in and search later! Hurry up and hide me!”
Ye Chen’s eyes were calm. He took a sip of tea and said calmly, “You can just sit here on the sofa. They won’t dare to come in.”
The woman was startled. Hearing the approaching footsteps, she hurriedly said, “But that group of people…”
Before she could finish speaking, there was a heavy knock on the door.
A voice filled with hostility was heard from outside, “Open the door! Open the door!”
The woman’s face was extremely pale. She bit her red lips and stared at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen calmly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and headed straight for the door.
The door opened and Ye Chen’s figure disappeared as he stepped outside.
Outside the door, Ye Chen looked at the five or six unfriendly men in front of him.
These men all had decently strong auras. They were mostly half-step transcendent realm martial artists, and one of them was even a grandmaster.
He scanned his surroundings. There were people searching the other villas, and their auras were almost the same.
It seemed that the person that the woman in the room had killed was an expert from a martial arts family. Otherwise, there would not be so many ancient martial artists among the pursuers.
“Kid, did you see a woman with a mask?”
The middle-aged grandmaster asked impatiently.
“No.” Ye Chen shook his head.
“Then move aside. We’ll just go in and search! We won’t take up too much of your time,” said another man with a buzz cut. His tone was filled with dominance and arrogance.
After saying that, he reached out his hand, intending to open the door.
However, a hand grabbed his wrist. No matter how hard the buzz-cut man tried, he could not struggle free.
“How can trash like you enter my house!”
Ye Chen’s haughty voice resounded in everyone’s ears.
The buzz-cut man clearly did not expect the other party to have such an attitude, and shouted, “Who the f*ck do you think you are to say such words?”
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sickening crack, and his arm was forcefully broken.
Then, Ye Chen kicked him lightly, sending him flying about five meters away. Upon crashing to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“This door is a boundary. Anyone who dares to take a step in will be killed without mercy!”
“I won’t repeat myself again.”
Ye Chen took a step forward and swept his cold gaze across everyone!
At this moment, the others did not dare to breathe.
Ye Chen’s killing intent was not concealed at all!
The middle-aged man knew that he had encountered a tough opponent. Therefore, his tone softened a little and he said to Ye Chen, “Little brother, we are from the Xu family of Jiangnan Province. Our family head was killed by a woman tonight. We chased her to this villa area and then the woman disappeared. Naturally, we have to go door to door to investigate. If we can’t catch the woman, it won’t be easy for us to report back to the family.”
He believed that the other party would give him some face if he mentioned the Xu family in Jiangnan Province. However, Ye Chen did not move at all. Instead, Ye Chen took out a token from his pocket and tossed it toward the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man quickly reached out to catch the token. However, when he did, he realized that the token was infused with a mysterious force, and his body subconsciously took a step back. His blood surged as his internal organs were shaken!
After steadying himself, he looked at the token in his hand and his eyes widened.
Accompanying the bearer’s name, which was Ye Chen, was the authorization and recognition by the nation’s supreme authority!
Although they were the experts of the Xu family of Jiangnan Province, they did not dare to offend a big shot recognized by the government!
The young man in front of him looked so young, but the force behind him was terrifying!
Who would dare to search his villa?!
That would simply be courting death!
The middle-aged man’s heart was in turmoil. He quickly handed the token back carefully to Ye Chen with both hands and apologized, “My apologies, Sir for disturbing your rest.”
“Get lost.”
Ye Chen only spat out two words.
“Yes, yes.”
The middle-aged man bowed and gave everyone a look before disappearing from the villa’s entrance.
After everyone had left, Ye Chen put the token back into his pocket and walked into the villa..
