Chapter 59: Who's More Powerful?

  A faint voice came, echoing in everyone's ears. Everyone was shocked and wondered who had such a big tone, as if they had lost their minds. Unconsciously, the crowd turned their gaze towards the direction where the sound came from.

  Ye Chen!

  Almost everyone's face was incredulous, because the person who just said that sentence was Ye Chen. What qualifications does Ye Chen have to say such a thing? Everyone thought so in their hearts, this is no longer arrogance, but madness.

  A teenager, no matter how talented, is still immature and hasn't grown up yet. In the eyes of these nine powerful individuals, he's still not worth taking seriously. Now, in front of everyone, he's being so arrogant, wanting to destroy three major families and even the City Lord's Manor. Everyone thinks it sounds like a joke, but no one can laugh under such circumstances.

  "Ye Chen, do you know what you're saying?" A member of the Ye family's household staff glared at Ye Chen, his voice filled with rage, and said: "You're going to bring our Ye family to ruin!"

  "I think no one knows better than me what I'm saying." Nang'er hugged Ye Chen's arm, Ye Yan was pulled by Ye Chen on the other side, and they swaggered into the hall, standing beside Ye Xiao Tian.

  "Hmph!" The several main members of the Ye family coldly snorted in unison, and the person who had spoken earlier said again: "Now that you're here, everything will be easier to handle. Earlier, you brought great disaster to the family which has yet to subside, and now because of your father's affair, the family is on the brink of collapse. As a direct descendant of the family, you should make amends for the family. Now, come with the three family heads and apologize."

  "Shut your mouth! I, the eldest elder, and the master of the Ye family are all present. What status do you have, when is it your turn to speak?!" The four elders suddenly let out a stern shout, causing the speaking servant to tremble with fear.

  The three masters looked at Ye Chen, the cold smile on their faces intensified, completely ignoring the existence of the Ye family members in the hall. They beckoned to the several eighth-level strongmen behind them and ordered: "You will bind Ye Chen and take him away!"

  Their words and actions were extremely powerful, completely disregarding the Ye family members. In their view, during a family crisis, the Ye family was divided into several factions with differing opinions, which greatly discounted their overall strength. They didn't dare to resist, and even if they wanted to, they didn't have the power to do so. Now, all three of their family heads were at the 9th level peak, with over a dozen 8th level peak strongmen by their side. Moreover, outside the Ye family's large courtyard, there were thousands of people guarding the area. Therefore, even within the Ye family's courtyard, they were fearless and unbridled.

  "Halt, who dares to take another step? Don't blame me for being impolite!" Ye Xiao Tian took a step forward, releasing the aura of a 9th stage peak master, forcing the three 8th stage peak masters to retreat a step, hesitating and not daring to advance.

  "Zhao family, Duanmu family, Gou family, you really have the audacity to enter my Ye family's mansion and cause trouble. Do you think my Ye family has no one left?!" The Second Elder stepped forward, his hair and beard standing on end, his anger bursting forth. His tall and sturdy build, combined with his square face and wide mouth, made him look even more intimidating when angry, causing the several Eight-Heavenly-Peak experts who had wanted to attack Ye Chen to not dare approach.

  "Hahaha, do you Ye family still want to struggle in vain? If you don't hand over Ye Chen, the Ye family will be destroyed today!" Gou Rite's face was cold and gloomy as he looked at the crowd of Ye family members: "The four gates of Lincheng have already been sealed off. Once we take action, not a single one of you Ye family members will be able to escape alive!"

  "Is that so? You dare to try and lay a hand on me, the Ye family? You're just looking for death!" Ye Chen said calmly.

  "You ignorant little brat, you've got a sharp tongue, but just wait and see what's in store for you!" Dongmu Ou sneered.

  "Fourth brother, do you know the consequences of fighting them? Hand over Ye Chen and everything can be settled, sacrificing one person to save the whole situation!" The Great Elder said in a deep voice, looking at Ye Chen.

  The Great Elder spoke up, and those who had been too afraid to speak out due to the Four Elders' authority began to voice their opinions.

  "Ye Chen has caused trouble three times and four, this time bringing the family to the brink of disaster. Now he should take responsibility for all this. I hope the Fourth Elder will consider the family's hundred-year foundation."

  "Second Elder, Ye Chen is the root of all troubles. Last time it was the Divine Blessing Sect's disciple, this time it's several families in Lin City and the City Lord's Manor, everything is connected to him. Handing him over is only natural!"

  Ye Chen coldly gazed at those in charge, a murderous intent rising in his heart. With a movement of his foot, a white shadow flickered and then he vanished from the spot.

  "Bang!"

  A loud slapping sound echoed through the hall, and a speaker was knocked flying out, bursting into a cloud of blood in mid-air. When he fell to the ground, he didn't even twitch before dying instantly.

  And another person in charge was pinched on the neck by Ye Chen and lifted high up.

  "Do you want me to die?" Ye Chen's voice was cold and ruthless.

  "Ye Chen, what are you doing? Let me go! You dare to be so rebellious!" The person in charge struggled, but it was of no use.

  The rest of the people were silent, and it wasn't until a few breaths later that they snapped out of their shock from this sudden turn of events. They looked at the main person in charge who was lying on the ground about 5-6 meters away. Some people's faces showed anger and terror, while others had a look of shock and stupidity.

  The three major families were also shocked, and Ye Chen's strength was beyond their expectations. He had just slapped an eighth-level strong man to death with one palm, and at the same time made the three eighth-level strong men who were about to take action against him feel a chill down their spines.

  The atmosphere in the hall was eerie, and Ye Chen suddenly made a move, but it wasn't against the outsiders of the three families, instead he killed one of his own family members.

  "Unfilial and unrighteous? What a big hat you're wearing, you have ulterior motives, living only to bring disaster to the Ye family. Today, since you dare to jump out, then you must be prepared to die. For the sake of the Ye family's legacy, I have no choice but to kill you!"

  Ye Chen's voice was as cold as ice and snow, devoid of any emotion. A strong and overbearing aura emanated from him, making everyone in the hall feel a kind of pressure, one that came from deep within their souls.

  "Ye Chen, stop! Don't you have any regard for us elders? You're being completely lawless and ruthless, slaughtering our family's seniors. Your crimes are truly heinous!" The Great Elder thundered, his eyes gleaming with icy light.

  "Let Ye Chen go," said the Fourth Elder in a soft voice. "Although they had ill intentions, their crime is not punishable by death, and as a junior, you should not have taken action."

  Ye Xiao Tian never thought that the whole thing would turn out like this, it can be said to be plagued by internal and external troubles. Ye Chen killed a mastermind, and there must be turmoil within the Ye family. With three big families and the city lord's mansion looking down on them, the situation of the Ye family is even more dangerous.

  "Stop it, Chen Er!" Ye Xiao Tian said.

  Ye Chen turned his head, his eyes scanning everyone's face one by one, saying word for word: "Whoever wants to know the person who sent me to my death will surely die!"

  With a crisp crack, he twisted and broke the neck of that person in charge. Then, as if throwing away trash, he threw it to the ground.

  "Dad!"

  A figure rushed in, tearing heart and lungs, with blood-red eyes rushing towards Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I'm going to kill you!"

  "Looking for death!"

  Looking at that name rushing up, Ye Chen kicked him flying with one foot, and he flew out of the hall with a crash, and there was no more movement.

  "Damn it!"

  The old man's eyes burst with murderous intent, and he, who had always hated Ye Chen to the extreme, finally had a full reason to put him to death. "Three family masters, now I personally take down this evil creature and hand it over to you for disposal. I hope you won't offend my Ye family again."

  The old man finished speaking and strode a few steps forward, his withered hand grasping out like an iron hook.

  "You reap what you sow, and now it's your turn to pay the price!" Ye Chen remained unmoved, a cruel smile spreading across his face. As the withered hand grasped for his shoulder, he suddenly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding it. At the same time, his right hand shot up and struck out fiercely.

  With a loud bang, the air was shattered, and a powerful gust of wind struck the face of the Great Elder. He tilted his head to avoid it, but he was shocked to find that he couldn't dodge this slap at all, because the speed of that hand was simply too fast.

  "Bang!"

  In the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, Ye Chen slapped a palm heavily on the face of the elder, and a burst of blood suddenly splattered out. The entire person was knocked flying several meters away, that tree-bark-like old face like a cracked watermelon, crimson all over.

  "You beast..." The Great Elder seemed to not dare believe that he was actually slapped flying by Ye Chen. He was a 9th rank peak expert, but was sent flying by a 14-year-old youth, it was simply like a fantasy tale.

  "You old thing, your mouth is really cheap!"

  Ye Chen suddenly appeared and kicked the elder in the face, grinding his foot into it as he said calmly: "You can scold me, but don't drag my father and mother into this!"

  The crowd in the hall, including the three family members, had no reaction at all. What was this situation? A 14-year-old boy knocked down a 9th-level elder with one move, making everyone feel like they were dreaming, it was so unreal.

  It wasn't until Ye Chen's faint voice echoed in the great hall that people came back to their senses, each with a different expression, some shocked, some fearful, some stunned, and the three masters' eyes were filled with endless killing intent.

  Ye Chen's strength had far exceeded their imagination, and if such a person were given a few more months, it was feared that no one could suppress him, so this visit further solidified their determination to kill Ye Chen.

  "Ye Chen, you... Ah..." The four elders were somewhat dazed, and after a deep sigh, they didn't say anything more. Since the beginning, they had not gotten along with the Great Elder, but now Ye Chen's appearance seemed to have fulfilled his wish.

  The old man's skull was cracked open by this kick, and the intense pain and shock to his brain made him almost faint.

  Ye Chen's foot withdrew from the face of the Great Elder, and then swept his gaze over the Ye family members, saying: "Those who are not convinced, stand up! Today I will beat you until you submit!"

  These words are extremely arrogant and overbearing, but no one dares to question them because the two previous moves have shown Ye Chen's strength. Although the Great Elder was defeated by Ye Chen when he was off guard, it also shows that Ye Chen has reached the combat power of a 9th-level peak master. A 14-year-old suppressing a 9th-level peak master is simply unheard of.

  Ye Yan's eyes sparkled with delight, Ye Chen once again gave her a surprise. The current Ye Chen was indeed as he had said earlier in the small courtyard behind the mountain, already strong enough, at least in Lin City, he was considered a top-notch expert.

  Since no one spoke up, Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and then stared at the people of the three major families like an icy knife, saying: "You said you wanted to destroy the Ye family earlier? Now I'll destroy you first!"

  Tears streaming down, from third to fourth on the new book chart. Brothers, take out the flowers in your hands and let Sheng Huang go up. How can you guys do it? Men cannot say no, haha.
