Chapter 313: Forbidden Area
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While Zhu Ya and An Ruoying were conversing, a gust of wind suddenly swept up the stairs. Glancing back, they saw a black shadow approaching at high speed, exuding a powerful aura.
“So strong…”
Seeing them in his way, a furious voice rang out, “You two stinking batches, get lost!”
At that moment, both of them were engulfed by his powerful aura. They wanted to move out of the way, but they could not!
The other party’s aura was too strong! His strength far surpassed theirs!
The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and soon An Ruoying could finally see the other party’s face clearly. When she did, her body trembled.
The black shadow was actually Chen Bao from Hui’an Province!
This person was extremely famous in Hui’an Province, not for his strength, but because of his style of doing things, which was decisive and merciless.
Countless people had died by his hands!
Chen Bao had no parents. He was adopted by a martial arts expert when he was born. Over the years, that expert nurtured Chen Bao into a tool that would kill others for him. However, he never expected Chen Bao to betray and kill him in the end.
Chen Bao must have found out about what was going on at Thousand Peaks Mountain and rushed here at top speed. He wanted to get up there as soon as possible, and everyone who blocked his way was cast aside.
On this narrow stairway, there was only one ending for those who were cast aside…
They would fall ten thousand feet below and die!
Since he started his mad dash to the top, Chen Bao had killed eight people this way!
Those further up the stairway immediately found the closest ledge to stand on to avoid becoming his next victim, but it was too late for An Ruoying and Zhu Ya to dodge.
They even saw a cold smile on Chen Bao’s lips!
“Die!”
Chen Bao’s hands reached to push, no, throw them aside, but just as he was about to get his hands on them, a hand suddenly stretched out from god knows where and grabbed Chen Bao’s neck.
Chen Bao’s body stopped in his tracks. His hands were less than three centimeters away from An Ruoying and Zhu Ya!
An Ruoying’s face turned pale from fright. Her vision traced the hand of her savior back to its owner, and she realized that it was Ye Chen’s hand!
How was this possible?
Seeing that someone actually dared to hinder him, Chen Bao released his killing intent, and he fished out a dagger from within one of his sleeves.
Then, he swung the dagger at the offending hand to slice it off!
However, before the dagger could even touch the hand, a faint voice rang out.
“You’re even using the dagger wrong. Your hand should be ashamed. Here, let me punish it.”
As he spoke, Ye Chen’s other hand grabbed Chen Bao’s wrist tightly, and then twisted!
Kacha!
The sickening snap of a broken wrist was heard. Furthermore, Ye Chen had exerted so much force that he had nearly twisted the hand clean off!
Chen Bao’s hand was covered in blood, and the bones were exposed. It was a ghastly sight.
“Argh!”
At this moment, Chen Bao was completely terrified. Where had this kid come from? Also, how the hell was he so strong?
“Sir, 1 was wrong…”
Before she could finish, Ye Chen’s cold voice rang out again.
“I don’t see the point in letting you live…”
As soon as he was done speaking, Ye Chen, who was still holding Chen Bao’s wrist, hurled Chen Bao off the cliff!
The screams gradually faded as Chen Bao fell, and no one could tell if he was alive or dead. This left An Ruoying completely gobsmacked, and her heart was filled with fear.
Chen Bao was actually killed by this unremarkable looking kid? It was not even a fight!
Before she could react, Ye Chen’s figure passed them and rushed toward the top of the mountain. The closer Ye Chen got to the top of the mountain, the more he could see the violent flashes of lightning and brewing thunderclouds above his head.
Moreover, the sky had already turned completely dark, and it seemed like some sort of world-ending storm was about to descend.
The rare treasure that the black-robed old man mentioned was about to appear!.
Some time after Ye Chen reached the top of the mountain, the two girls also arrived. Up here, there were about a hundred people, and each one was exuding a powerful martial aura.
In the distance, there was a temple with its doors tightly shut, looking both solemn and foreboding.
No martial arts expert dared to knock on the temple’s door, and they all gave it a wide berth.
They did not dare to make a noise, nor did they dare to fight in front of the temple. To his surprise, Ye Chen could clearly see a hint of fear in the eyes of these experts!
He frowned and felt a little confused.
At this moment, An Ruoying walked over. Her impression of Ye Chen had completely changed.
She quickly briefed him.
“Mr. Ye, you probably don’t know the origin of this temple. This is one of the three major temples in Hui’an Province, the Pure Buddha Temple. The person who resides within it is not an ordinary person. His dharma name is Master Jingdao. Ten years ago, he was ranked eleventh on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, but no one knows how strong he has become since then.”
“Due to his presence here, this place has become one of the forbidden areas in Hui’an Province’s martial arts world. Were it not for this phenomenon, those martial artists would not even have dared to come here.”
Ye Chen nodded lightly. Suddenly, he noticed something. His pupils constricted and his gaze focused in a certain direction.
Standing in the distance was an old man in a long robe, the very same one from Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department who had taken Zheng Yi away that day!
The old man was also accompanied by six or seven other powerful experts, all of which were staring daggers at Ye Chen.
They had all suffered the wrath of Zheng Renjue’s rage, and the person who had caused all of this was Ye Chen! The old man clenched his fists and released his killing intent as he walked toward Ye Chen slowly. The rest of the Martial Arts Department’s experts followed behind.
When they came face-to-face, the old man said, “Ye Chen, you have designs on this treasure? Are you sure you are qualified?”
“Grandmaster Zheng is already furious about what happened to Young Master Zheng. If you continue to interfere in his matters, you will die a miserable death!”
Ye Chen had no intention of paying any attention to him. He could feel the blood dragon in his body stirring and surging!
It was irascible and restless, which seemed to indicate that the treasure was about to appear.
The roars of the dragon in the Samsara Graveyard were terrifying!
Suddenly, the black-robed old man’s voice rang out.
“Brat, it’s to the southeast.”
Ye Chen’s pupils shrank. He channeled his true qi into his feet and shot forward like a cannonball!
The old man in the long robe wanted to block Ye Chen’s path and continue to reprimand him, but Ye Chen roared angrily and his violent aura surged out.
“Get lost!”
