Chapter 78: Who Gave You Such Confidence?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No one was standing behind the young man.
Was this guy a demon?!
A premonition of death spread throughout the entire room and, for a moment, no one uttered a word.
After an unknown period of time, the young man’s footsteps stopped. One of Qiao Zhenghu’s disciples finally came to his senses and charged forward. He drew the saber at his waist and channeled a burst of qi, slashing it toward Ye Chen’s neck!
If the saber blow landed, there was no chance of survival!
“Who gave you such confidence?” Ye Chen’s calm voice echoed in the room. The very next second, he took a step back before reaching out and grabbing the other person’s wrist!
Qiao Zhenghu’s disciple was not to be trifled with either. He took a step forward and twisted his body at a ninety-degree angle. He leapt into the air and slammed his foot down on Ye Chen’s shoulder!
…..
II
Die!
II
This kick carried the force of a few hundred pounds. If it landed, the man was confident that he could cripple the kid in front of him!
The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled up. He reached out with his other hand and grabbed the other person’s ankle.
The powerful force was rendered useless in his hand.
Qiao Zhenghu’s disciple’s expression changed drastically, and a hint of shock appeared in his pupils.
His Cloud Smashing Kick had actually been blocked by the other party?
Moreover, it had been blocked so easily.
How was this possible?
He could not help but be surprised. Ye Chen suddenly exerted strength and slammed the man in his hand to the ground!
At the same time, he raised a foot and suddenly stamped!
Pfft!
The foot landed on that expert’s body, who promptly vomited a large mouthful of blood and fainted.
At this moment, the entire room fell silent. Even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Everyone’s eyes had flown wide open, and they were like stone sculptures, rooted to the spot!
This kid dared to kill their people in front of them. How much of a lunatic was he?
Qiao Zhenghu suddenly stood up, his turbid eyes bursting with killing intent.
His ancient martial arts cultivation displayed its strength!
“Kid, aren’t you going too far? I have no enmity with you, so why did you have to be so ruthless?”
Qiao Zhenghu’s voice sounded like rolling thunder, and his disciples were also raring to go.
As long as Qiao Zhenghu gave the word, they would immediately move to kill this brat!
“Eh?” Ye Chen snuffed out the cigarette. “The fake medicine was created by your hands. Don’t those people who died consuming it deserve justice?”
Qiao Zhenghu shook his head helplessly. He could tell that the other party was here to uphold justice, so he said, “Brat, even if you are a powerful ancient martial artist, so what? This world is not as simple as you think it is. Might makes right.”
“If you came here looking for me, Qiao Zhenghu, to uphold justice, then you’ve come to the wrong place. The people who came in before you seeking the same thing are all now dead.”
“However, I can see that your strength is decent. As long as you are willing to join my sect, I am willing to let bygones be bygones and ignore the people you’ve injured or killed outside.”
“Not only that, I’m also willing to place a chair inside this room for you!”
Hearing this, the surrounding experts under Qiao Zhenghu could no longer remain calm.
Qiao Zhenghu was planning on recruiting this kid!
They had fought for their positions for ten years, shedding blood, sweat and tears!
What did this kid do to deserve such an honor?
“Master, this person’s killing intent is so strong. You shouldn’t accept him!”
Everyone tried to persuade him but, with a single glare from Qiao Zhenghu, they all shut up.
Qiao Zhenghu naturally had his own considerations. He had already sensed Ye Chen’s cultivation base. It was very likely that this kid was a grandmaster!
Losing a few hundred people today was not as important as having one more grandmaster!
At that moment, all eyes were focused on Ye Chen.
Qiao Zhenghu was waiting for his reply.
However, he did not expect Ye Chen to reject his invitation!
He looked at Qiao Zhenghu and said indifferently, “You want me to join your sect? Are you even worthy?”
“Also, after today, Qiao Zhenghu will no longer exist in River City!”
He was extremely arrogant.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen moved. His body weaved between Qiao Zhenghu’s disciples!
This was a qinggong skill called the Azure Dragon Phantom. It could raise one’s speed to the extreme, and ordinary experts would not even be able to touch his sleeves!
However, he did not dare to let his guard down.
Although his cultivation was extremely overbearing and his strength far exceeded that of a martial artist grandmaster, things might become dangerous if he allowed Qiao Zhenghu to join forces with the other experts.
He had to kill these people immediately. He would not give them the chance to unite.
Ye Chen instantly appeared in front of one of Qiao Zhenghu’s disciples. He circulated true qi throughout his entire arm and he threw a punch!
Pfft!
The man was directly sent flying and slammed into the wall, losing all vital signs!
Right after that, Ye Chen arrived in front of the other experts. He took a step forward and leapt up. His right leg was imbued with true qi and it swung toward these experts with the force that could sweep away an army battalion!
Everywhere he went, there was chaos!
A minute later, there were only two people left standing inside the room.
Ye Chen!
Qiao Zhenghu!
The latter’s eyes were filled with endless amounts of horror and shock.
It was not that he did not want to help his disciples, but it would have been useless even if he did!
The other party’s methods were extremely brutal, and every move was a fatal one, directly reaping a life!
He was a killing machine that rushed into the crowd!
How was Qiao Zhenghu to attack?
More importantly, he could not understand Ye Chen’s movements at all. It was as if countless afterimages had appeared everywhere!
Many disciples had thought that the afterimage was Ye Chen himself. When they attacked, they missed!
When that happened, they would reveal an opening that would lead to the fatal blow!
What should he do now?
Fight with the other party?
It was easier said than done. If they really fought, he would not be able to last more than three moves given this young man’s ruthless movements!
Qiao Zhenghu’s seemed to have aged a few years. He took a few steps back and plopped down on the armchair!
“Who… Who are you…”
Ye Chen glanced at him with a cold expression and said, “Ye Chen of the Ye family of River City.”
“Ye Chen of the Ye family of River City…”
When he heard those words, Qiao Zhenghu looked at Ye Chen as if he had seen a ghost.
The Ye family of River City!
How many Ye families could there be in River City?
…..
Who else could it refer to besides the Ye family that was exterminated five years ago?
Ye Chen… This name sounded very familiar to him.
He also had some understanding of the incident that happened in River City that year. One of the three people who died was called Ye Chen!
However, he had heard that Ye Chen was a piece of trash rejected by his own social circle. How could he have become a martial arts grandmaster?
Suddenly, he thought of something!
He finally understood why the other party wanted to kill him!
This was because the Qinghe group had originally been the Heavenly Justice group!
That Heavenly Justice group had been the Ye family’s property five years ago!
Back then, he, Qiao Zhenghu, had personally swallowed it and its assets!
Now, this Ye Chen had actually come back seeking revenge!
At this moment, Qiao Zhenghu’s face was devoid of blood. He should have thought of this earlier!
Including the incident at the Qinghe building, everything had been under this man’s control!
However, who would believe that a dead man would suddenly reappear as a martial arts grandmaster?
He had even come back bearing a monstrous killing intent and wanted revenge!
Ye Chen approached step by step. His expression was extremely calm, as if what he was about to do was an extremely ordinary and trivial matter.
When he was a mere step away, Qiao Zhenghu moved!
The latter had no other choice.. He would die either way, so he had to at least try to fight for his life!
