He was injured, and even standing made him feel uncomfortable now.
Then, he lit a cigarette and looked at Fang Dongcheng indifferently.
“Showing up now… You guys are really efficient, eh? Were you waiting for this moment? Did you have to go through so much trouble just to deal with me?”
Fang Dongcheng’s expression froze, and he said coldly, “If we didn’t dare to come in time, I reckon you would have killed everyone here to silence them. We will never allow such an atrocity to occur on our watch!”
Ye Chen smiled and put out the cigarette.
“I don’t like killing people, and I don’t kill innocent people.”
‘You don’t f*cking like killing people?’
The corners of Fang Dongcheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and then he said impatiently, “I’ll give you two options. First, come with us and give us an explanation on what happened, or…”
“Second… Die!”
Dozens of experts closed in on Ye Chen, their killing intent plain to see.
Ye Chen smiled and swallowed another pill before standing up.
“What if 1 don’t want to choose either option?”
“Then we’ll default to the second option! Take him down!”
Once Fang Dongcheng gave the order, dozens of experts rushed toward Ye
Chen. In his opinion, Ye Chen was too weak to put up a fight now, and would be killed easily.
Fang Dongcheng was only worried about the little girl.
He glanced at the little girl from the corner of his eye and realized that she had no intention of making a move. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, out of the blue, the experts stopped in their tracks, as countless auras were suddenly unleashed.
Before they could react, each of them had a sword resting against their necks!
Even Fang Dongcheng had a sword pointed at his back!
They were surrounded!
Fang Dongcheng looked around and realized that these people who suddenly appeared were all wearing masks, and that their auras were not weak. Furthermore, they were outnumbered two-to-one!
Where did so many experts come from?
“Who are you?!” Fang Dongcheng asked coldly, “Do you know who you are dealing with here?”
The masked Ye Lingtian replied mercilessly, “You don’t need to know who we are, but what you do need to know is that you don’t have the right to touch this person!”
Fang Dongcheng’s eyes narrowed. He was about to speak when he noticed that Ye Chen had gotten up and was strolling around leisurely in the courtyard as if nothing had happened.
No one dared to stop him!
Incensed, Fang Dongcheng turned around and grabbed the sword behind him!
Kacha!
Ye Lingtian’s sword broke!
Ye Lingtian had not expected Fang Dongcheng to suddenly make a move, but he immediately reacted and prepared himself for a fight.
Just then, Ye Chen’s voice rang out.
“There’s no need to pay attention to these dogs.”
Ye Chen was well aware that although the Dark Hall experts had caught the other party off guard, if a fight really broke out, both sides would suffer. He did not want anything to happen to this force that he had not finished nurturing.
When Fang Dongcheng heard the insulting words, he immediately rushed forward and tried to slap Ye Chen, putting his full power behind the slap.
However, Ye Chen had no intention of making a move, and simply ignored the attack.
Fang Dongcheng was elated to see this, but before he could celebrate his victory, a wall of true qi appeared in front of him!
Bang!
Not only did his attack not reach Ye Chen, but when his palm hit the wall, the force rebounded, and he was sent flying.
This scene shocked everyone, including the Dark Hall experts.
Everyone stared at Ye Chen as if they had seen a ghost. What the hell was that?
Ye Chen did not even move from his spot, yet Fang Dongcheng was inexplicably sent flying?
What the f*ck was going on?
Ye Chen snickered to himself. Although he did not have much true qi left to use, he still had the means to intimidate others.
The biggest difference between cultivators and ancient martial art practitioners was not their strength, but their techniques, ones that could almost be mistaken for being divine powers.
Ye Chen then went over to Rakshasa, whose face was pale and on the verge of death. If he delayed treatment any longer, even the heavens themselves would not be able to save Rakshasa.
He quickly took out a pill and said, “Take this. As for your arm he shattered, I will think of a way to fix it.”
Rakshasa was seriously injured because he saved him, so Ye Chen owed him at least this much.
Rakshasa nodded and took the pill. He stood up with difficulty.
“Master, I’m fine…”
“Don’t act tough. I still need you to accomplish many things for me. Your bleeding has stopped now, and the pills can only stabilize your injuries. Remember, you’re not allowed to use your strength for now.”
“Yes, Master!”
Then, Ye Chen looked at the Dark Hall experts and ordered, “There are still two hostages from the Xia family in the villa. Escort them back to the Xia family’s residence safely. If anyone tries to stop you, kill them without mercy!”
Ye Chen then walked over to Xia Ruoxue and held her hand. He said softly, “It’s over now. Let’s go home.”
The mere mention of going home made Xia Ruoxue’s eyes redden. She could tell how tired Ye Chen was.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented peace of mind. Ever since she was young, she had been bound by the circumstances of her family and birth, and had no say in her own future.
However, the man beside her had changed all of that!
“Alright,” she mumbled, and the two of them walked out of Nanqin Villa.
After some time, the little girl finally came to her senses and chased after him.
“Ye Chen! Wait for me! I haven’t told you the reason yet!”
Mingcui Villa.
Ye Chen first settled Xia Ruoxue in before going straight to his room to cultivate.
He was too exhausted from this battle..
