Chapter 61: A Large Number of Experts Invade the Border

  Ye Chen killed ten eighth-level peak experts with one blow, leaving Ye Yan and Nan Er stunned in the hall.

  "Master, master, you're so amazing!" Nang'er ran over like a butterfly, looked at Ye Chen's clothes, furrowed her slender eyebrows and said: "Ah, master, your clothes are stained with blood!"

  "It's okay." Ye Chen shook his head, patted Nang'er's hand and pulled her to Ye Yan's side, saying: "Yan sister help me take care of Nang'er, you stay here and don't go anywhere, outside is left to me and Xiao Shu and the others."

  "Uh-huh." Ye Yan nodded and said, "You go ahead, be careful, don't get hurt."

  Ye Yan's tone was surprisingly soft, completely unlike her usual personality, which made Ye Chen somewhat unexpected, but he didn't have time to think much and quickly disappeared into the hall.

  In the Ye family's grand courtyard, thousands of people surrounded each passageway layer by layer. Zhao Mingfeng, Gou Rite, and Du Mu Ou also broke out of the encirclement. The three nine-segment peak experts took action, and those three or four segment guards and some five or six segment members of the Ye family didn't even have room to counterattack. People kept falling down, blood flowing like rivers, unable to stop the three masters.

  "Zhao Mingfeng, Gou Rite, Du Mu Ou, where are you going!"

  Ye Xiao Tian and the four elders chased after him, like a soaring eagle taking to the skies. In an instant, he threw out several punches, and the fierce winds from his fists exploded all the air within several meters in front of him, sending waves of energy surging forward.

  The three masters who were fighting with the Ye family guards suddenly turned around, and at the same time, they almost simultaneously slapped out a palm. The strong wind howled, like the waves of the sea surging out, and soon a fierce collision occurred.

  Bang!!!

  The two sides' auras collided and then exploded in an instant, charging back in the opposite direction at an even faster speed.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  Ye Xiao Tian and the four elders fell from the sky, continuously retreating three steps, each step leaving a three-inch deep footprint on the hard ground. Zhao Ming Feng, Du Mu Ou, and Gou Ri De, however, floated back due to the counter-shock force, quickly disappearing into the large courtyard.

  "Ye Xiao Tian, today your Ye family will be annihilated!" A voice filled with anger and coldness echoed from afar.

  Four elders looked in the direction where the three family heads disappeared, their faces turned extremely solemn. "Xiao Tian, let Ye Yan go to the Elder's Hall and summon all the elders. We will head to the entrance of the Family's Grand Mansion. Today, my Ye Family is truly facing its greatest crisis since its founding!"

  Ye Xiao Tian nodded and turned around to head towards the direction of the main hall, coincidentally running into Ye Chen who was coming from the opposite direction.

  "Little uncle, don't worry, the three major families and the city lord's mansion can't do anything to our Ye family." Ye Chen knew that as the head of the household, Ye Xiao Tian must be under tremendous pressure and psychological burden at this moment, so he spoke out to comfort him, while also giving him a reassuring glance.

  Looking into Ye Chen's eyes and expression, the pressure and heaviness in Ye Xiao Tian's heart dissipated a lot. He hesitated slightly and said: "Chen Er, I know you're not what you used to be, even I'm no match for you now. But the three major families have been accumulating power for far longer than our Ye family's legacy. Their elder halls must have an old guy who has set foot in the Naihe Bridge Secret Realm. You can't be careless at all. No matter what happens, you must prioritize preserving your own life, do you understand?"

  "Alright, little uncle," Ye Chen nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart, and then quickly ran towards the main gate of the mansion.

  In front of the Ye family's large courtyard was a vast expanse of flat land, which was now packed with people. Each and every one of them had an extraordinary aura, and some were even eighth-level strong practitioners. Among them were several leaders from three major families, who were all top-notch existences in the secular world.

  The number of people from the three major families who stayed in front of the main gate was as many as a thousand, and their average cultivation was even stronger than that of Ye's family disciples and guards.

  In the distance, there were people everywhere, and in the city, almost everyone came to watch the confrontation between several major families for the first time. Many people had lived their whole lives without seeing such a scene before.

  The main gate of the Ye family's mansion opened with a loud rumble, and team after team of guards and young men from the Ye family rushed out, each holding weapons in their hands, facing off against the people from the three families at a distance of about 100 meters, like troops on the battlefield.

  In the distance, those onlookers began to whisper among themselves, knowing that the Ye family was finished. With their limited strength, it was impossible for them to resist the combined forces of the three major families - it was like trying to crack a rock with an egg, the disparity in power was just too great.

  However, some onlookers who had been waiting outside from the start noticed that when the three masters entered the Ye residence, they were accompanied by over a dozen powerful experts, yet only three people came out just now.

  "The Ye family is finished this time. I heard that it was the second master of the Ye family, Ye Wentian, who robbed the spiritual medicine from the three major families and the city lord's mansion at the end of last year and killed their top experts. Today, the three major families and the city lord's mansion have come to the door to destroy the Ye family."

  "Ye Family's Second Master killed their expert and even snatched their spiritual medicine? Isn't this pulling out a tiger's whiskers? Such things the three major families and the City Lord's Manor cannot tolerate, it seems that today Ye Family will not escape destruction."

  "Tomorrow, the four major families of Lincheng will be reduced to three. The Ye family, which has been passed down for over a hundred years and has always been the weakest among the four major families, will finally be exterminated today."

  Many people are talking about it, some are watching the excitement, some are regretful and some are gloating.

  "Tap tap tap..."

  In the distance, a neat footsteps sounded, a murderous aura came, and the people who were watching from afar quickly parted to both sides, making way for a wide road.

  Four elders and Ye Chen arrived at the gate of the mansion just in time to see about two hundred people running towards them from a distance, each wearing armor and holding war spears. The metal armor glimmered with cold light under the sunlight, exuding an aura of battlefields that was both iron-blooded and cruel.

  The four elders' faces became even more solemn, with deep worry in their eyes. Today, the Ye family might truly be doomed. Turning to Ye Chen, they said in a low voice: "Remember, no matter where or when, you must protect yourself. If the Ye family is destroyed today, one day when you have achieved success in your cultivation and return to Lin City, uproot the three major families and the city lord's mansion together, and avenge our Ye family for this great injustice!"

  "The four elders, the Ye family will not be exterminated. The three major families that are about to be removed from the list of vassals are the ones who should be worried." Ye Chen's voice was very soft, his tone very calm, yet it carried a sense of sharpness and deadliness. He gazed coldly at the increasingly approaching two hundred city lords' sharp-edged soldiers, his eyes tranquil and waveless.

  The Ye family's children and guards all changed color, originally facing the three major families' large number of high-ranking experts, their strength was already vastly inferior, making them panic in their hearts, their surface calmness was all forced, now that the city lord's tiger wolf-like masters have arrived, the weapons in their hands were trembling, they had no fighting spirit in their hearts, some people who feared death hated to immediately put down their weapons and surrender.

  Ye Chen's eyes swept over the Ye family crowd, his gaze as sharp as a sword.

  The castle owner's mansion finally arrived with over 200 people, and the leader was Zhao Wujie. He wore a silver armor, looking majestic and powerful. He walked quickly to the three family heads and exchanged some words with them. Zhao Wujie's face gradually sank, and then he stared at Ye Chen and the four elders at the gate of the mansion.

  "The four elders of the Ye family, are you still going to resist stubbornly? The city master has spoken, as long as you sincerely surrender to me and hand over Ye Chen and all your properties, I can spare the lives of everyone in the Ye family. Otherwise, not a single person from the Ye family or their guards will be left alive!" Zhao Wuji gazed coldly at everyone in the Ye family, his voice strong and ruthless.

  "Haha!!" The four elders had not yet spoken, but Ye Chen was already laughing, his laughter unrestrained and unbridled. His cold eyes swept over Zhao Wujie and the three family heads as he said, "Zhao Wujie, are you sure you're not dreaming? You think you can destroy my Ye family with just your abilities? You're just a frog at the bottom of a well!"

  "Ye Chen, you little brat, even when death is imminent, you still dare to be stubborn. Now we're giving you a chance, come crawling over to us one step at a time and beg for mercy, and we might consider sparing the lives of the Ye family's women and children. Otherwise, from infants to the elderly on the verge of death, everyone will die!"

  Rong Rude's voice was icy cold, humiliated and scolded by Ye Chen in the hall, and then his hand bones were shattered. His heart had been furious for a long time, like a volcano that had been suppressed, he hated to skin Ye Chen alive.

  At this time, three powerful auras approached, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. From afar, several figures jumped from the rooftops of tall buildings, each jump covering tens of meters, and soon arrived at the scene.

  "Elder!"

  "Elder!"

  The three family heads shouted out one after another.

  The onlookers became even more boisterous, with the elders of the three major families arriving as well. It seemed that the downfall of the Ye family was inevitable and irreversible. Under absolute power, any resistance from the Ye family would be futile.

  Ye Chen glanced at the three old men faintly, then shifted his gaze to Gou Ri De. Gou Ri De's previous words had ignited Ye Chen's anger to its peak, and thus it was destined that Gou Ri De would be extremely miserable.

  "Your parents named you Dog Day, and you name your son Enough Lust. It's imaginable what kind of trash your family is." Ye Chen curled his lip in disdain.

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Gu's family elder Gu Shi severely shouted, his foot tapped the ground, and he rushed towards Ye Chen. In just a few steps, he traversed dozens of meters, most people only saw a flash of his figure, and in the next moment, he appeared right in front of Ye Chen.

  "Dog shit, apart from eating shit, what else can you do?" Ye Chen burst out laughing. As Hou Shi approached him, he signaled the four elders with his eyes and then stretched out one hand, simple and straightforward, like a steel claw, locking onto Hou Shi's wrist in an instant. With a fierce jerk, there was a loud cracking sound, and Hou Shi's arm bone suddenly broke into several sections, causing him to let out a loud scream. At the same time, he finally came to his senses, having originally thought that Ye Chen, a young boy, could be easily crushed with just one hand, but unexpectedly suffered a great loss due to his carelessness.

  "Hum!"

  Enduring the intense pain, another palm heavily slapped towards Ye Chen's head, the palm wind condensed into a large hand, almost covering half of Ye Chen's body. The strong gust of wind swept wildly, knocking down everyone within several meters around Ye Chen to the ground.
