Chapter 28: Beheading Eight Powerful Warriors

  "Are you really unwilling to show yourself?" The Second Leader laughed loudly and coldly, then said: "You bunch of rats!"

  The words had just fallen when a tearing sound came through the air.

  "Whoosh!"

  A black arrow flashed through the sky, bringing a sharp whistling sound as it shot towards his throat.

  "Hmmph!"

  Two leaders cold drink, arm swing, two meters long gun as a stick, the gun body suddenly bent, the tip of the gun just hit the black arrow feathers. A strong backlash came, making his arm numb, even the war horse could not withstand this force, almost fell to the ground. Let out a long hiss.

  Under the snap of the war gun, the black arrow feathers did not fall, although they deviated from the target, still carrying a huge killing power, piercing through his ear.

  "Gasp!"

  A general in the rear was unable to dodge and was pierced on the spot, feeling a chill run through his heart. His tall body was shot off his warhorse and flew over 20 meters before crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

  "Men, get behind the carriage and surround him." The two generals' eyes flashed with a fierce glint, their war spears at the ready. Thirteen men on horseback charged forward from the rear, and in the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded the carriage.

  "What can you do to me even if you surround me?"

  Ye Chenteng soared into the air, like a giant eagle, the blade of his large knife gleaming with a cold light in the moonlight. He raised his long knife high and pointed it at the sky, then chopped down with force, charging forward in mid-air and fiercely slashing towards the Second Leader.

  His momentum was overwhelming, like a fierce beast. This sudden move made all the veteran generals who had experienced many battles take a deep breath. The man's momentum was unmatched and his bravery was unstoppable. This was their first impression.

  Ye Chen's momentum was too strong, too sudden, so that the two leaders did not have time to react. He sat on horseback and wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. The war gun was horizontal, and he welcomed it.

  "Clang!"

  A large sword chopped down, with great force and momentum, like a tyrant's single strike. The powerful force directly pressed the war horse under the Second General to the ground, and the Second General also fell from the horseback, kneeling on one knee, holding the war spear tightly with both hands, fiercely resisting Ye Chen's large sword.

  "Kill!"

  A dozen halberds and spears came at him, forcing Ye Chen to withdraw his long sword. With a horizontal sweep, the sound of clashing weapons was incessant, repelling all attacks. At the same time, he took a step forward, using his large knife as a spear, directly stabbing towards the second commander.

  Two leaders dodged and counterattacked, with war spears in hand to meet Ye Chen's attack. A war spear was wielded in his hand, displaying a magical performance, each spear thrusting straight at Ye Chen's vital points.

  Ye Chen was engaged in a fierce battle with him, while also having to defend against the attacks of over a dozen people around them. This second-in-command was at least an 8th dan mid-term strongman, whose power was not far from Ye Chen's, and with the help of 13 others, it would be somewhat difficult for Ye Chen to defeat him in a short period of time without using the Overlord Fist Seal.

  "You are indeed a master, I really can't think of anyone within the range of Lin City, except for our city lord's mansion and the four major families, who could possess such strength. Who are you? Are you wearing a mask because you're afraid we'll recognize you?" The second leader said while fighting Ye Chen intensely.

  "It doesn't matter who I am, for a group of people about to go down the Yellow Spring Road, what's the use of knowing my name!" Ye Chen's voice was hoarse, and his hand strength increased again by several degrees. One knife resolved the attack of the two leaders, and at the same time, one punch of the Overlord Fist was thrown out. The fist wind condensed, almost becoming a substantial fist print, buzzing with a loud noise, shattering the airflow, blasting a general four or five meters away, spitting out a big mouthful of blood, struggling for a few times after falling to the ground before no longer moving.

  This punch had a power of at least nearly ten thousand kilograms, shattering the internal organs of that general and killing him with one punch, extremely ruthless.

  "I'd like to see how much stamina you have left!" The Second Leader said coldly, before bursting into loud laughter. "Once your stamina is depleted, it'll be easy for me to take you down."

  "Do you know what kind of people are the most pitiful in this world?" Ye Chen sneered, his hands moving without any weakening, each knife strike was powerful and heavy, causing the Second Leader's arm to feel numb and sore.

  "The most pitiful people in this world are those who spend their days dreaming without knowing their true circumstances, and when they're about to die, they still have to utter a few arrogant words. The irony is that these arrogant words will eventually become their last words."

  Ye Chen's big knife sank, suppressing the second leader's incoming spear and pinning it to the ground. At the same time, he used his big knife as an axis, leapt into the air, and with a loud crash, kicked out with one foot, exploding the air and striking the second leader's jaw directly.

  Two leaders abandoned their spears and crossed their arms in front of them, using their arms to firmly block Ye Chen's kick.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Enormous power arrived, the two leaders retreated several big steps in a row, their arms hurt as if they were broken, and their bodies were even more turbulent with gas and blood, almost suffering from internal injuries.

  Taking advantage of the two leaders being forced to retreat, Ye Chen turned around and walked away with a stride, his body like a swimming dragon. A set of King's Fist techniques were unleashed, with the King's Roar echoing continuously, shaking the rocks on both sides of the valley as if they were about to roll down.

  Every punch is fiercely powerful, as if the king of martial arts has possessed him, and his bravery is beyond words. Those generals are almost invincible under the King's Fist, and every punch will take a life.

  Cries of pain continued, one body after another was blown away, the sky was filled with bursting blood mist, and thirteen people were quickly reduced to two or three.

  The remaining few people turned pale, but did not retreat. Wu Jiang had long put life and death out of his mind. They rushed towards Ye Chen while shouting: "Commander, you go first, we'll hold him back!"

  Two leaders grasped their war guns, and with a loud hum, they charged straight at Ye Chen's throat. At the same time, his left arm swung out, fiercely punching out a fist, the wind from which howled loudly, displaying his overbearing dominance.

  "The three of you, hurry up and leave, take the spiritual medicine and escape back to the City Master's mansion, this is an order!" The Second General threw over a storage bag, his eyes were bloodshot, like a crazed lion. Every move was a life-or-death struggle.

  "Lead!"

  "Go!"

  Two leaders drink together.

  The three of them took one last look at the two leaders, turned around and flew away. A cold light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and a meteorite iron arrow appeared in his hand, aimed at one of them and threw it out.

  "Be careful!" The second leader shouted loudly.

  But it was too late, when the man turned around, the arrow had already pierced his throat, bringing up a splash of blood. The other two were also desperately fleeing for their lives, but they were all killed by Ye Chen's thrown arrows.

  "You... " Er Tong's eyes turned red like snow. "Who are you, after all? Why do you want to do this? Does the City Master's Manor have a feud with you?"

  "Why must it be so? Just because you are the masters of this castle, you have been bullying and oppressing the common people for years, abducting women by force. This reason alone is enough to eliminate a bunch of scum like you. If you want to get rid of me, I will first take back some interest."

  Ye Chen sheathed his great sword with a clang, and it quivered in the ground. Then he charged forward bare-handed, his iron fists almost bursting the two leaders apart.

  "Clang!"

  Ye Chen's fist slammed onto the opponent's war spear head, and at the same time, he took advantage of the momentum to step forward and heavily strike the second leader's chest.

  "Crack!"

  Two fists led to a dull hum, and his chest suddenly caved in, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The whole person was shaking, this punch had already shaken his internal organs out of place. If he hadn't reached the realm of eight segments of refining the viscera, under this punch, his five viscera would have been crushed to dust.

  "Who... who are you?" The Second Leader's body swayed, with large mouthfuls of blood gushing out every time he spoke. He stared fixedly at Ye Chen's face, which was covered by a bronze mask, and couldn't help but wonder how this terrifying strongman could suddenly appear in Lincheng, where the four major families and the City Master's Manor were located.

  "Who am I?" Ye Chen sneered, slowly taking off his mask. A handsome and youthful face appeared before the Second Leader's eyes, whose pupils instantly enlarged with a look of shock and incredulity.

  "How is it possible...no...possible..." At this moment, his mind was greatly shocked, he almost thought he was dreaming, who in Lin City didn't know the face in front of him?

  A waste body that had been crippled for thirteen years, suddenly broke free from his innate inability to cultivate, only to have his meridians shattered by a divine gift of the inner courtyard disciples. He should be bedridden, but instead he appeared here, annihilating the guards who escorted Zhao's family on this procurement trip, and annihilating himself along with them.

  "There's nothing impossible in this world." Ye Chen said calmly, "Now you finally understand why I had to take action against you. Anyone who wants to deal with me must die!"

  His throat seemed to be blocked by something, his Adam's apple moved up and down but he couldn't utter a single sound, and his eyes still had an incredulous look.

  Ye Chen took a step forward and slowly stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, saying: "You can rest now."

  With a loud crack, he crushed the man's hyoid bone. The second leader's head twisted to one side, and he instantly stopped breathing.

  Ye Chen patted his hand, picked up the four arrows and put them into the quiver on Bei's back. He then hung the storage bag from the general's body onto his own waist. After doing all this, he walked to the broken carriage, hung the Black Sky Bow over his shoulder, pulled out the large knife stuck in the ground, and quickly walked into the dense forest on both sides.

  Arriving at a dense forest two hundred meters away from the canyon entrance, Ye Chen found a one-meter-sized bluestone and sat down, opening the storage bags of the Zhao family and the City Master's mansion, which were filled with purchased spiritual medicines.

  Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim, a fourth-rate family like this actually has something like a storage bag. Although Ye Chen didn't know the true value of the storage bag, it must be more precious than low-grade top-quality spiritual medicine at least.

  Roughly estimated, each storage bag contained around five to six hundred low-grade lower-tier spiritual herbs, about two hundred low-grade middle-tier spiritual herbs, and only a few dozen low-grade upper-tier spiritual herbs.

  "Huh?"

  Ye Chen's eyes twitched slightly, and in the storage bag, he saw four stalks of emerald green grass-like objects. The roots were only the size of a thumb, about three inches long, with over ten leaves on top, each one as green as jade, emitting a thick fragrance.

  "Low-grade divine medicine!" Ye Chen was overjoyed in his heart, unexpectedly there were several stalks inside, after carefully looking, the two storage bags had a total of several stalks of low-grade divine medicine, and just from the storage bag purchased by the City Lord's Manor alone, there were seven stalks.

  Eleven stalks of low-grade top-quality spiritual medicine, almost enough to let Ye Chen directly break through from the initial stage of sixth rank to the peak of sixth rank.
