Ye Chen was stunned by his words, but his expression seembed to embody his chilling urge to murder. The blood souls around him were also getting much more intense.
‘Is he saying that there was more to the case than meets the eye?’
‘Or was that banquet just a set-up for the Ye family?’
Nevertheless, the Ye family was just a small family from River City. Why would the man from Capital City want to wipe out the entire Ye family?’
Ye Chen’s mind was flooded with all sorts of questions and doubts.
The middle-aged man did not want to tell him any more details, so he said: “Me passing by River City was just a mere coincidence. I never expect to find you here. It seems that even God doesn’t want to help the Ye family. Huang Qing, finish him off.”
“Yes, Mr. Yao.”
The chauffeur who was dressed in a suit nodded and started walking towards Ye Chen.
His steps were light, but his eyes were gleaming with murderous intent.
To him, killing a young man was just a piece of cake.
So what if his opponent was into ancient martial arts? Even if he had started cultivating since young, he should only have some inner power at most.
As for himself, he had already crossed three realms and was now a Half-step Force-dispersing master!
To him, killing an Inner Power master was as easy as crushing an ant!
Huang Qing clenched his fists and said: “Don’t worry kiddo, I’ll make it easy for you…”
Ye Chen had already sprung into action before he could finish!
His movement was so sudden!
Nobody had expected it!
Ye Chen appeared right in front of Huang Qing in a split second, swirling up a gush of wind around him.
Life and death are only one thought away.
Ye Chen’s eyes went cold. He stretched out his hand, clasped it tightly around Huang Qing’s throat and twisted it brutally.
Kachakk! All Huang Qing felt was a surge of terrifying power spreading from his throat! The pain was excruciating!
He later realized that he was not breathing!
He even felt that his life was slowly fading away!
His eyes were wide open as he tried to attack, but he soon realized that he was being locked in a deadly air wall, making him unable to move at all!
His pupils were dilating, and after a few seconds, he was dead.
He never expected that he would not even have a chance to fight back!
He was killed by his opponent in a mere second!
“You’re so weak.”
Ye Chen sneered coldly and flung him away as if he were throwing a piece of trash.
He said it in a low voice, but his words were as loud as thunder in the ears of the middle-aged man!
The middle-aged man had seen countless powerful men in his life, but he has never seen a man killing a Half Step Force Dispersing master with such speed!
The whole process was as smooth as the floating clouds and flowing water! (TN: Meaning: natural and unforced; skillful and beautiful movement) It had only been two seconds!
He stared at the distant young man in horror. ‘Don’t tell me that this kiddo is already at the Grandmaster level?!’
‘Impossible!’
‘It’s not possible that there’s such a young martial arts grandmaster in Huaxia!’
He, on the other hand, had spent 40 years in cultivation and had access to numerous great treasures! Most importantly, he was extraordinarily talented but had barely attained the Grandmaster level!
However, this young man had only disappeared for five years. How could his cultivation reach such a terrifying level!
Besides, he had definitely passed the best time for him to cultivate at this age!
Tremendous waves were set-off in the middle-aged man’s heart, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
He was fearful of the unknown!
Ye Chen began walking towards the middle-aged man with an icy cold expression.
He knew better than him that killing Chen Zhengguo’s family did not imply the start of the game.
The game of his revenge would only begin after he had killed the middle-aged man standing in front of him.
Seeing that Ye Chen was getting closer and closer, the middle-aged man stopped his train of thoughts and said while suppressing his inner fear, “I never expect you to reach the Grandmaster level. Although I don’t know how you did it, keeping you alive is definitely a threat to me. If that’s the case… I’ll have no choice but to kill you.”
He made a move the next second after.
The middle-aged man took a step forward, and a small depression was formed on the ground. He moved like a cheetah and was right before Ye Chen in the blink of an eye.
His fist turned into a claw, and it was aiming right at Ye Chen’s skull!
Ye Chen’s skull was bound to burst into pieces if his claw managed to get hold of it!
“Today, I, Yao Jingu, will snap your head off!”
On the other hand, Ye Chen’s eyes went cold, and he dared not make a careless move. He waited until his arm was surrounded by swirls of True Qi before punching out!
Yao Jingu saw that Ye Chen still dare to throw out a punch under these circumstances. He said with a cold laugh, “It seems that you didn’t actually reach the Grandmaster level. You’re digging your own grave if you punch out like this!”
Ye Chen said calmly, “Oh, really?”
Just as Ye Chen was about to touch Yao Jingu, he extended his fingers abruptly and clenched his fists again. It was as though he managed to catch the wind! He then stroke the air with his fingers and punched out strongly!
This slap was infused with gushes of True Qi! One could even hear the blasts of air!
Bang! Ye Chen’s palm and Yao Jingu’s claw collided in an instant.
All Yao Jingu could feel was a stream of Qi thrusting about in his organs! A strong numbing sensation was spreading across his arm!
He was shaking uncontrollably. Thud! Thud! Thud! He was forced to stumble seven steps backward!
After recovering his senses, Yao Jingu stared straight at Ye Chen who was standing as still as a mountain with a face full of horror.
He could feel a gush of blood gurgling up in his body! If he did not suppress it by force, he would have spat out a mouthful of blood for sure!
Although it was only one move, he already knew that his opponent was very powerful!
He must have at least reached the Grandmaster level!
He remained staring at Ye Chen for a while. His hand was trembling, and he could feel that his hand had gone almost completely numb! A trace of fear flashed across his eyes as he said, “Just who exactly are you?”
He did not want to believe that the young man in front of him was the same useless brat of the Ye family who had been laughed at five years ago!
‘How could someone like him possibly reach the Grandmaster realm?!’
He also could not believe that this young man had been suppressing his powers purposefully all these years!
‘It doesn’t make any sense for him to act useless when his parents were being killed right in front of his eyes!’
The only explanation would be that this young man who was standing in front of him was a martial arts genius who had begun cultivating since young! He then managed to reach the Grandmaster level!
This young man could be anybody. Anybody but Ye Chen from the Ye family!
At this time, Ye Chen was feeling slightly unwell too. The Dispersion Fores was rumbling in his body. The power of a Grandmaster in Huaxia turned out to be stronger than he had imagined.
He knew that he could not back down now. He wanted these people to atone for the humiliation he had received five years ago.
To him, debts tainted with blood must be paid back in blood!
“I’m the same Ye Chen you knew five years ago,” Ye Chen said calmly.
Ye Chen appeared right in front of Yao Jingu in a split second! With a cold look in his eyes, he kicked out mercilessly.
His kick was infused with extraordinarily powerful True Qi and an intense killing instinct from his body!
It was as though this kick of his had killed all of the life forces surrounding Yao Jingu.
Yao Jingu’s expression darkened visibly. Although he had just reached the Grandmaster level and was not considered very powerful, he had still thought he had pretty good reflexes. He leaned backward immediately!
At the same time, he stretched out both of his hands that were infused with Dispersion Forces and tried to grab hold of Ye Chen’s leg!
Thud! He managed to grab hold of it!
With a hint of joy on his face, Yao Jingu took a powerful step forward! He was planning to smash this kiddo onto the ground! He wanted him to become a pile of flesh and blood!
However, it was obvious that Ye Chen would not succumb to his plan easily. He turned his body slightly mid-air while raising his other leg!
He then slammed his leg down directly onto Yao Jingu’s shoulder!
Bang!
A crisp cracking sound was heard! A few of Yao Jingu’s shoulder bones were broken instantly!
His body could not withstand the tremendous force, so he was forced to kneel down.
Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, and he was not planning to give his opponent any chance to react! He punched out strongly once more!
In an instant, Yao Jingu’s body was slammed down onto the ground, and he began spitting out mouthfuls of blood!
He looked extremely weak and powerless!
Yao Jingu was defeated!
A very miserable defeat, at that.
He did not even have a chance to fight back.
Ye Chen exhaled deeply and glanced at the man on the ground calmly. He then took out a pack of cigarettes, gave it a little shake, and put one in his mouth with a flick of his finger.
The cigarette was then lit up with a lighter.
Ye Chen squatted down casually and blew a circle of smoke which surrounded Yao Jingu’s body instantly.
“You know what? The game has just begun.”
A voice that sounded like hell rang in Yao Jingu’s ears.
