Chapter 316: Surrounded!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Biewang could not understand what had just happened.
What was that blood dragon? Why was this bastard so strong? Did Ye Chen not have mortal roots?
He had never shown signs of such strength five years ago…
Heck, he was not even a martial artist back then?
Jiang Biewang was filled with confusion, and simply could not accept that this was happening.
Soon, Ye Chen arrived in front of Jiang Biewang, and the edge of the Dragonslayer Sword was placed against the latter’s neck.
Jiang Biewang saw a pair of cold eyes gazing at him, causing his heart to palpitate,
“You… Who exactly are you?”
Jiang Biewang asked in a hushed tone. At the same time, he felt the sword draw blood. If it went any deeper, it would sever his artery, and he would bleed to death.
Furthermore, the blood dragon behind Ye Chen was still staring at him. Cold sweat instantly drenched Jiang Biewang’s back.
He wanted to use the Jiang family’s secret technique to escape, but soon realized that it was impossible. A mysterious force had enveloped and restrained him!
“Ye Chen, you’re a member of the Jiang family. You can’t kill me.”
Jiang Biewang could only say this. However, the sword in Ye Chen’s hand continued to slice deeper, and deeper.
“You’re wrong. I’m not a member of the Jiang family. I wasn’t in the past, I’m not now, and 1 definitely won’t be in the future.”
“I didn’t want to lull you, but since you confessed your crimes so proudly, 1 can’t let you live.”
Ye Chen’s indifferent voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.
Moments later, the Dragonslayer Sword flashed, and fresh blood sprayed out.
Jiang Biewang was now a headless corpse!
Ye Chen had wanted to question Jiang Biewang about the Jiang family, but he sensed a few auras coming in his direction. If he did not grab the spirit stone and make a run for it, it might be too late.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen channeled his true qi into his feet and rushed toward the extraterrestrial spirit stone at the center of the formation. He grabbed it, and then felt a strong burning sensation in his hand.
It was as if he was holding a ball of lava that was overflowing with spiritual energy!
“Put it down!”
At this moment, shouts of anger rang out, and more than a dozen powerful experts rushed toward Ye Chen!
Other than the experts from the Martial Arts Department, there were also experts from Hui’an Province!
At this moment, their eyes were filled with envy and desire. After all, everyone wanted the treasure for themselves. However, Ye Chen had obtained it first, and there was no way they were going to let him get away with it!
Ye Chen ignored them and stuffed the extraterrestrial spirit stone into the Samsara Graveyard.
When they saw the item in Ye Chen’s hand disappear, the experts narrowed their eyes and roared, “Brat, where did you hide it? Hand it over immediately!”
One of them even brandished his longsword and pointed it at Ye Chen.
“There are some things that you shouldn’t interfere with. Young man, hand over the item and we can spare your life!”
Ye Chen stuck his hands in his pockets and swept his gaze across the crowd. He said, “First come, first served. Since 1 have the treasure, what right do you have to take it from me?”
The expert who drew his sword sneered, “The phenomenon happened in Hui’an Province, so it should be kept by someone from Hui’ an Province! I’ve never seen you here before. That’s enough! 1 don’t want to repeat myself a third time. Hand it over and you can leave Thousand Peaks Mountain in one piece.”
Soon, more and more experts rushed over, and soon, a hundred people had surrounded Ye Chen!
He would not be able to escape even if he had wings!
Despite this, Ye Chen remained unfazed.
An Ruoying and Zhu Ya also arrived at this moment. When they saw this tense scene, their expressions changed drastically.
“He’s dead. The man pointing the sword at Mr. Ye is the head of the Zhang family in Hui’an Province. He’s very strong and wields a lot of influence in this area…” An Ruoying subconsciously said.
“Why did Mr. Ye take that thing? He’s alone. How could he dare to snatch the treasure in front of so many experts? These experts are much stronger than Chen Bao. Little Ya, hurry up and persuade Mr. Ye to hand it over!”
Zhu Ya shook her head and frowned. She was worried about Ye Chen.
Hui’an Province was not Jiangnan Province, and Dragon Soul was not around to help him. How could Mr. Ye face this many experts alone?
However, she also knew that there was no way that Ye Chen would hand the treasure over. From the fact that he had made the trip here, and even predicted the phenomenon and the location of the treasure, she knew that he was determined to leave with the treasure.
Suddenly, she thought of something and grabbed An Ruoying’s wrist. She said agitatedly, “Ruoying, are we good friends?”
An Ruoying frowned. “What nonsense are you spouting? Haven’t we known each other for more than ten years?”
Zhu Ya continued, “Ruoying, I’ve never begged you for anything, but this time I hope you can help Mr Ye…”
“The An family has a lot of influence in Hui’an Province. They are definitely be able to speak up for Mr. Ye.”
Just as An Ruoying was about to speak, a few figures walked out from the crowd. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a full beard and a dignified bearing.
“Dad…”
An Ruoying’s voice was very soft, and carried a trace of fear.
The bearded man was An Ruoying’s father, An Sushan!
An Sushan’s gaze was originally on Ye Chen, but when he heard the voice, he turned his head abruptly and glared at An Ruoying. He asked in a deep voice, “Ruoying, why are you here?”
Then, he noticed Zhu Ya and said, “This isn’t a place you two should be. Uncle Xu, send them down the mountain.”
An elder walked over to An Ruoying, but before he could say anything An Ruoying stepped past him and said, “I have something to say to my dad!”
“Dad, that boy is Zhu Ya’s friend. Can you help save him? His current situation is very dangerous…”
An Sushan was stunned. He looked at Ye Chen and sneered.
“As long as that kid hands over the treasure, we won’t hurt him. However, if he doesn’t know what’s good for him, then I’m afraid that he’s destined to die here today!”
He then looked at Zhu Ya and said, “Zhu Ya, since that kid is your friend, you should persuade him. If not, this kid won’t be able to live for more than five minutes!”
Zhu Ya’s expression grew increasingly unsightly. She took a step forward and arrived in front of An Sushan. She said softly, “Uncle An, this item was first discovered by Mr. Ye. Why does he have to hand it over? Isn’t the rule for ownerless items first come, first served?”
An Sushan sneered, and his voice rang out, “Zhu Ya, this is Hui ‘an Province, not Jiangnan Province! Moreover, Huaxia’s martial arts world has always abided by the law of the jungle.. Since that kid doesn’t have the strength to guard this treasure, he doesn’t deserve it!”
