Chapter Eighty Corpse Vanishes

  Bang!

  A burst of fist light shattered, waves of heat and scattered flames surged in all directions, causing the crowd watching from a distance to retreat again and again. At the same time, Ye Chen's body was like a swift wind, leaving behind a faint green afterimage, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Ye Xiao Tian. With a casual palm strike, the two young generals were crushed by the massive airflow, bleeding from their seven orifices, and fell to the ground, dead without even being able to struggle.

  Ye Chen single-handedly lifted Ye Xiao Tian's intact arm and with a slight exertion, threw him towards the direction of the Ye family elder. Meanwhile, he stepped forward and rushed towards the old man at the Protective Country Hall.

  The two had just clashed, and the elder of the Protecting Country Hall was filled with an unbelievable expression, because Ye Chen had used a skill that was exactly the same as his own, making him look like he had seen a ghost. He was still in shock when a huge counterforce came, sending him flying back several steps.

  "Today, you will be reduced to nothing but a corpse!" Ye Chen's voice was as cold and ruthless as the Nine Underworlds' Demon King, devoid of any emotion, carrying an endless chill that sent shivers down one's spine. With a single punch, the Overlord let out a deafening roar, shaking the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble violently.

  "Ants will never be able to bite an elephant to death." The old man from the Protecting Country Hall waved his hand, and a wall of fiery spiritual energy appeared in front of him.

  Bang!

  A dull thud, the firewall blocked Ye Chen's tyrannical fist, violently shaking several times before collapsing with a loud crash. In this instant, a fiery five-fingered hand stretched out, as if it had just been tempered in a furnace, directly locking onto Ye Chen's throat, swift and ruthless.

  "You're too weak!"

  Ye Chen coldly smiled, with a single stroke of his hand, he conjured up a massive hammer imbued with powerful energy, which came crashing down and heavily smashed onto the fiery red giant hand, instantly triggering a pained cry.

  Hmph!

  Fresh blood splattered, the big hand directly shattered, flesh and bone fragments flew everywhere, blood sprayed, the old man of the Protecting Country Hall suddenly retreated far away, the hand was cut off at the wrist, the palm completely disappeared, the piercing pain made him tremble all over.

  "You dare to disable my palm, I will burn you into charcoal!"

  The old man in the Hall of Protection let out a loud roar, tearing his heart and lungs apart, making people's scalps numb. He roared again, "Spiritual fire burns, die!"

  His body was engulfed in a blaze of light, and the spiritual power of the fire element suddenly burst forth from within his life force, surging towards Ye Chen and enveloping an area of ten meters around him. The terrifying sea of flames transformed into a furnace-like inferno, with scorching temperatures that made everyone's skin feel like it was being scorched. Even the space within the sea of flames was incinerated into a vacuum.

  Ye Chen stood upright in the sea of flames, his entire body shining with golden light. His blood and energy covered every part of his body, isolating the spiritual flame outside. He walked calmly, strolling out of the sea of flames. A powerful spear suddenly appeared, piercing through the air, and with a "puff" sound, it penetrated the neck of the old man from the Protecting Country Hall. Fresh blood sprayed out several meters high, like a burst pipe, continuously spouting.

  The old man in the Hall of Protection had his eyes wide open, his pupils gradually dispersing, and an expression of utter incredulity in his eyes. He had never imagined that one day he would die at the hands of a nine-segment cultivator. At this moment, it was as if he was dreaming, unwilling to believe this reality.

  Ye Chen took a step forward, the wind spirit energy around his body flowing, wrapping his feet and making him transform into a clear gust of wind. In an instant, he arrived in front of the old man, both hands moving simultaneously to grab onto the old man's body. With a "pu" sound, he brutally tore off both of the old man's arms.

  "Pffft!"

  Ye Chen grabbed his legs and pulled them apart, the old man's body was like a piece of rotten cloth, instantly torn in two. This was an extremely bloody and violent scene, Ye Chen was like a ferocious beast, filling everyone's eyes with fear and trembling.

  "I'll make sure you're dead and gone!"

  Ye Chen's cold and icy voice echoed in everyone's ears, and people saw a huge hammer condensed with air energy suddenly appear above Ye Chen's front. With a loud crash, it smashed down, and the two halves of the corpse of the old man from the Protecting Country Hall were splattered with blood and flesh under this smash, completely turning into a pile of minced meat, bones turned to dust, leaving nothing but crimson bloodstains.

  Ye Chen walked towards the entrance of the mansion and said to several guards, "Clear the area."

  "Yes, yes, young master." The several guards were trembling with fear, thinking of Ye Chen's previous move, and felt as if their bodies had been torn in two.

  The Ye family members and Ye Chen entered the Ye family's large courtyard, while outside, the onlookers were all discussing in hushed tones. Not having seen him for a month, Ye Chen had become even more terrifying, having actually killed the legendary strongman of the Naihe Secret Realm and crushed him into a pulp. Just thinking about it made people shudder with fear.

  Because Ye Chen's methods were too bloody, soon no one in Lin City dared to mention the matter again, treating it as a taboo, fearing that once they talked about it, they would offend the god of killing and bring disaster upon themselves.

  Several elders and Ye Xiao Tian each went back to treat their injuries. Now, all the big and small matters of the Ye family are handed over to Ye Yan for management. Ye Yan released all the guards who wanted to leave the Ye family before. People like this are useless and may even betray them in times of crisis.

  "Master, master."

  From afar, Ye Chen heard Nang's excited shouting voice. She rushed into the Ye family hall like a happy butterfly and threw herself into Ye Chen's arms. "Young master, you're back! You didn't even tell Nang, Nang is angry now."

  "Heh heh, you little girl, things were so urgent just now, I didn't have time to tell you, don't you know now?" Ye Chen patted Nang'er's head.

  "Oh." The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, saying: "Alright, I'll forgive you this time."

  Forgive me? Ye Chen was speechless, but he did notice that Nan Er's personality seemed to have changed a bit, and she had even learned how to be coquettish.

  "Chen Di, I have some news to tell you." Ye Yan walked over and casually sat down in a chair beside Ye Chen.

  "Oh?" Ye Chen rubbed his nose and pulled Nan'er down to sit with him, saying: "Sister Yan, what news do you have to tell me?"

  Ye Yan smiled lightly and said, "I don't know why this year, the Lingquan Fudi and Longmai Fudi temporarily changed their decision not to select disciples in our city's big competition, so this year's big competition in Lin City was also cancelled. However, it can be said that Lin City doesn't have much talent left either, some of those with a bit of potential were all killed by you."

  "What's wrong with no talent?" Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you think this handsome guy is talented?"

  "Smelly beauty!" Ye Yan gave Ye Chen a flirtatious glance, although she knew Ye Chen was just joking, but his talent was indeed one in ten thousand.

  "Yan sister, don't talk nonsense, little brother is very handsome." Ye Chen touched his own face and then said discontentedly: "But I stink, smell it, this whole body is full of male scent, right?"

  "Plop!"

  Both women burst out laughing, and Nang'er laughed even harder, her eyes narrowing into two crescent moons as she exclaimed: "Young master is really humorous, but the scent on you truly smells wonderful!"

  Ye Chen: "......" sweating.

  "Yan Jie, are you saying that neither of the two great blessed lands will be selecting disciples in the mundane world this year?" Ye Chen quickly changed the subject to avoid being teased by Ye Yan.

  "No." Ye Yan shook his head, his face also becoming solemn, saying: "This time both of the two great blessed lands will be selecting disciples in Ying City, and we people from Lin City can also go to participate in the selection."

  "Ying City?" Ye Chen's face gradually turned cold, and the Upper Official Ziyan and his senior brother must still be in Ying City. This time, will they meet? With his current strength, although he didn't dare say that he could defeat Upper Official Ziyan's life spring second eruption senior brother, but he definitely had the power to fight once.

  Looking at Ye Chen's expression, the clever Ye Yan suddenly understood what he was thinking. "Chen brother, you must not have that kind of thought. This time in Ying City to select disciples is not only Lingquan Fudi and Longmai Fudi, but also Shenxi Fudi and Yunxia Fudi will come."

  "Even so, I still want to go to Ying City. Such an opportunity I will not miss, otherwise wanting to enter the blessed land for cultivation, who knows when it will be possible. However, I will be careful, as long as Shangguan Ziyuan's senior brother does not know that I went to Ying City, he probably won't tell the people of Shen Cifu about being injured by a mortal realm person either. Ha! Being injured by a mortal realm person, he also has no face to tell others."

  Ye Yan nodded, what Ye Chen said was true, this was a rare good opportunity, if missed, it would have to wait for several years, and without entering the blessed land to cultivate, in this mundane world, several years of time would not bring much improvement. Ye Chen had a grudge with the inner disciples of Shenxi Fudi, now the best solution was to enter a blessed land, so that he could protect himself and quickly cultivate, when his realm improved, there would be no need to worry about revenge.

  "By the way, when will the Yingcheng University selection take place."

  "Next month," Ye Yan replied.

  "That means there are still twenty days left?" Ye Chen was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so soon. But now Yu Linglong hadn't arrived yet, and the matters between the Ye family and Nang'er hadn't been resolved, how could he leave?

  "Yes, we must set out a few days in advance, that is to say there are only more than ten days left. When can the friend of Second Uncle arrive at my Ye family?" Ye Yan obviously knew what Ye Chen was worried about, and she was also worried about the safety of the Ye family. If this matter was not handled properly, the Ye family would suffer greatly in the future.

  "It's unclear." Ye Chen shook his head, "Hope she can arrive earlier."

  The sky was pitch black, and the starry night sky stretched endlessly. The twinkling stars shone down on the earth, and Ye Chen and Nan Er returned to the small courtyard.

  At the same time, in the distant Chu Wang City palace, lanterns lit up everywhere, and one team after another of imperial guards patrolled inside the palace.

  The King of Chu is in a very bad mood today, having just received news that the lord of Lincheng under his command was actually killed by someone from a small family, which made him extremely angry and felt like a challenge to his authority.

  The King of Chu's anger burned in his heart, he lay on his side on the large bed in the palace, fiercely pinching a queen consort's breast, the plump flesh squeezed out from between his fingers, his five fingers seemed to want to sink into that delicate skin, the pain made the queen consort's eyebrows furrow but she didn't dare make a sound, silently enduring.

  At this time, the bed curtains suddenly moved without wind, and a breath that was hard to describe enveloped him. King Chu was greatly shocked, feeling that even breathing was difficult, his chest felt like it was being pressed by a huge stone. He turned his head abruptly, seeing a white-clad figure standing quietly in the bedroom, those calm eyes staring at him.
