Chapter 262: Slaughter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Time to die, old man!”
Ye Chen’s expression was cold as he hurled a punch at the old man, who instinctively drew a dagger and placed it in front of his chest to block the blow. Bang!
Ye Chen’s fist struck the dagger, producing a dull thud, as both combatants took a step back.
“You want to kill me? Dream on!”
The old man steadied himself and spun his dagger around, creating gusts of wind as he made a downward stab toward Ye Chen’s neck!
He did not dare to hold back. If he did, his life would be in danger.
Ye Chen’s gaze was solemn. Even after consuming the pills, there was not much true qi left in his dantian, so he had to end this fight quickly.
Moments later, the Dragonslayer Sword appeared in his hand out of thin air!
This scene stunned the old man. Where did that sword come from?
A sudden realization hit him, and he exclaimed, “Storage items! You actually have a storage item!”
His heart was filled with jealousy, and at the same time, his killing intent surged.
If he could get his hands on what Ye Chen possessed, he would definitely become one of the top experts in Huaxia!
Such treasures were wasted on this kid!
At this moment, the old man turned domineering and cold, as he tried to slash Ye Chen with the dagger.
“Brat, if you die, all of your things will be mine! Haha!”
Ye Chen’s eyes were cold as the Dragonslayer Sword blocked the attack.
Bang!
When the two weapons collided, shockwaves swept out and caused the air to vibrate intensely.
Kacha!
The dagger broke!
Shocked, the old man stared at the sword in Ye Chen’s hand.
A spiritual weapon!
F*ck!
Where did this kid come from? He had so many rare treasures!
“Go to hell!”
At this moment, a black light flashed, and the old man felt a chill envelop his entire body. Then, he spotted it…
A dart with a bloody plum engraved on it flew through the air.
He recognized this dart! Did that not belong to Ling Feng of Xuemei Palace?
However, he had no time to dwell on the matter, as he desperately tried to dodge.
However, it was too late.
Puchi!
The dart pierced his neck and severed his artery. Blood spurted out, as he collapsed in a heap on the ground.
After doing all this, Ye Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His back was already drenched.
Fortunately, he caught them off guard. Otherwise, it would definitely have been a much more difficult battle. Although the Burning Sky Palm was extremely powerful, it was also extremely taxing on his body and dantian.
If he had known earlier, he would have saved the Burning Sky Palm for the old man. In the future, he had to pick the right moment to use it in battle. It was like a double-edged sword.
Ye Chen clenched his fingers and regulated his true qi. He then rummaged through the corpse and picked up the old man’s phone.
He opened the call log and dialed the most recent number.
In the capital, Zheng Renjue was checking some information about Ye Chen.
He noticed something amiss.
The Cloud Lake Manor incident back then actually involved some extraordinary people.
More importantly, why would these high and mighty families want to deal with a small family in River City?
While he was deep in thought, the phone on his desk rang.
He glanced at it and saw that it was Elder Qian’s number. Obviously, Ye Chen had been dealt with.
“Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, you should never have been so arrogant as to touch my subordinates. That’s just how cruel the martial arts world is.”
He pressed the speaker button and said, “Elder Qian, remember to clean up the corpse properly. That kid is a member of Dragon Soul.”
There was no sound from the other end of the phone.
“Elder Qian?”
Zheng Renjue frowned slightly. He was about to speak when a cold voice spoke up.
“There’s no need to ask. They’re all dead. I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care who you are, but I don’t want you to disturb me again. Otherwise, I will find you and personally remove your head from your shoulders.”
As soon as the voice finished speaking, the call ended.
Zheng Renjue’s heart was burning with rage. This kid actually had the gall to threaten him!
He was the seventh-ranked expert on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, yet he was actually threatened by a brat who was not even half his age!
F*ck!
Bang!
Zheng Renjue slammed his palm on the table, shattering the phone and the desk!
Ye Chen then called Lei Shuwei to deal with the bodies. After all, this place was not far off from the place he left. He also asked Xiao Deng to send him back.
After the battle, he had calmed down. He knew that the most important thing now was to strengthen himself. Strength was paramount, and would ensure that he would be able to deal with anything that came his way.
Furthermore, once he became stronger, he would be able to activate more tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard. With the help of those ancient experts, it would not matter which or how strong the top families that were involved in the Cloud Lake Manor incident were. He would simply destroy them all!
Anyone related to this matter, no matter who it was, had to die!
A baleful aura surged out of his body, which condensed into an illusory blood dragon that circled around his body.
When he heard the blood dragon’s roar, Ye Chen was taken aback.
It seemed that he had already formed a fiendish shadow without realizing it, and that this fiendish shadow had taken the form of a blood dragon.
“This should be pretty good.”
The old man had said that his Dao was not the traditional righteous path, but the path of slaughter.
The Slaughter Dao could destroy all Daos, but it could also destroy one’s own Dao heart. Whatever the fiendish shadows condensed into represented his Slaughter Dao.
If they were demons or ghosts, then he would really be on a path of no return. Therefore, a blood dragon was not a bad sign.
At this moment, Ye Chen noticed the black stone in his pocket vibrating intensely, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the stone.
Almost instantly, he reappeared in the Samsara Graveyard, and the illusory blood dragon rushed into the Samsara Graveyard and collided with a tombstone!
A crack appeared on the tombstone, and a faint light flashed.
Ye Chen’s breathing quickened!
There was movement from the third tombstone!
Ancient characters appeared on the tombstone, seemingly carved out by some sort of blade.
This time, there was no name; only one sentence!
“I was born from slaughter and withered in death.. On the day I return to the world, those who defy me will die!”
