Chapter Seventy: Cutting Grass Requires Removing the Roots

  The old man seemed to have also sensed Ye Chen's tyrannical and fierce palm, his entire body's blood energy surging, his single hand drawing a strange trajectory in the air before unleashing a powerful slap.

  A gust of air bursts forth, a whirlwind coalesces, transforming into a massive hand.

  Bang!

  Clap of thunder, palm wind shattered, withering and crumbling, the Great Collapse Hand is a secret technique passed down from the Primordial Bloodline. When cultivated to its peak, it can shatter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

  The orange-gold palm, sharp as gold, soft as water, and heavy as earth, slammed into the old man's palm with a loud crash, bursting it into a bloody mist.

  Crack!

  His palm shattered, Ye Chen's hand went straight forward, shattering his entire arm into shredded flesh, and then slammed heavily onto his body with a loud bang.

  The old man's body was like a kite with a broken string, flying upside down for over ten meters, spewing out several mouthfuls of blood arrows, and before he even hit the ground, there was a loud explosion, and his corpse disintegrated into nothingness.

  "Y-y-you..." The two elders stared with wide eyes, as if they had seen a ghost. They trembled and were terrified, their legs shaking so hard that they could hardly stand.

  "Die!"

  Ye Chen's voice was cold and cruel, his massive fist struck out again, and with a palm strike, he smashed the two old men into pulp under their terrified gazes.

  Looking at the few lumps of flesh and blood on the ground, Ye Chen's eyes were calm. In any world, it is the law of survival that the strong prey on the weak, and killing and bloodshed are inevitable.

  Physical realm, the competition is just about strength and technique, relying on physical confrontation, not much suspense. Compared to physical and technical skills, even a person who has stepped into the secret realm of life and death with one foot is not enough in front of Ye Chen. Moreover, the old man was underestimating his opponent from the start, and he didn't even use his ultimate move before losing his life.

  The Gu family's residence was relatively far from here, and normally there would be no one guarding the Elder Hall. Generally speaking, within two or three miles of the Elder Hall, it is not allowed for any disciples to approach. So, the people of the Gu family were still sleeping in their dreams at this time, and they didn't even know what was happening in the Elder Hall.

  Ye Chen strode into the various rooms of the Elder's Courtyard, searching high and low, but found nothing. He then turned around and walked to where the three elderly men had been reduced to mush, finding three storage bags there. Inside were a few stalks of low-grade supreme spirit medicine and some low-grade top-grade spirit medicine.

  These elixirs are no longer effective for Ye Chen, but they can be used to develop and expand the Ye family, giving them to trusted disciples to increase their strength.

  After counting, there were seven low-grade top-quality spiritual herbs, and over a hundred low-grade high-quality spiritual herbs. This surprised Ye Chen, who didn't know how many years it had taken the two elders to accumulate such a large quantity, which he was now benefiting from.

  Ye Chen quickly left the Gou family's elder hall, silently and quietly sneaking into the Gou family's main hall, grabbing a patrolling guard, forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the Dai family master and several sons of Gou Ri De, and then knocking that guard unconscious.

  Gu's residence, Ye Chenru entered as if he was in a deserted land, at night he looked like a white ghost, soon found the place where the master of the Dai family lived, outside there were two 7th rank experts guarding.

  Ye Chen's figure flashed and appeared in front of the two guardians, who were greatly shocked. They reflexively drew their weapons and opened their mouths to shout, but their words got stuck in their throats, only able to make a "gagging" sound.

  Ye Chen's hand locked onto their necks, a light pinch, and with a crisp sound, the two men's larynxes were shattered. Their heads tilted to one side, and they fell silent. With ease, Ye Chen pushed open the door latch, and walked into the room without haste, his footsteps making no sound.

  Inside the house, in his bedroom, Guo's father, Guo Ben, wasn't sleeping very soundly. The events of the day had put too much pressure on his mind. Although the old ancestor had promised to take care of Ye Chen, he still felt uneasy and his eyelids kept twitching, making it hard for him to fall asleep until very late.

  In a daze, Ben suddenly felt a cold and murderous aura spreading in the room, getting closer and closer to him. At first, he thought it was just a dream, but when the aura hit his body, making his whole body feel a chill, he finally woke up completely.

  As soon as he suddenly opened his eyes, a white figure was standing at the bedside in the dark room, looking down at him. He saw that face clearly and was shocked to the extreme, his Adam's apple rolled, and he was about to shout loudly.

  "Kaka!"

  A hand of steel-like fingers grasped his throat, trapping all sound in his throat, unable to utter a single word, only those eyes revealing terror and despair.

  "Anyone who dares to provoke the Ye family will not live." Ye Chen's voice was like a devilish melody that entered Gou Ben's ears, his iron-like fingers slowly retracting.

  If the eyeballs protrude and both feet are desperately kicking on the bed, they will be silent in an instant.

  Pfft!

  Ye Chen turned his head and said in a low voice: "Gou Ben, you have been acting as the master of the house for half a day, it's already enough to repay your debt, dying now won't leave any regrets."

  After finishing, he privately took a large piece of cloth from his body, wrapped his head around it, and flashed out of the room. The next moment, he arrived in the house of Gou's third young master. It had to be said that this guy was really heartless, sleeping so sweetly, even snoring. Ye Chen coldly smiled, and with a casual hand, shattered his breastbone, shattering all his internal organs. A large amount of blood gushed out from his mouth.

  Ye Chen successively struck with a heavy hand, killing the three younger sons of the Guo family, and then killed the eldest son of the Guo family. These direct descendants must die, otherwise they will revive like spring breeze and cause endless troubles.

  As soon as he entered the room of Gou's second young master, Gou Chen immediately woke up. In the dark room, he saw a white-clothed Ye Chen standing three feet away from his bed, staring at him coldly.

  "Leaf Shao, it's so late, yet you've come to my humble abode, how elegant." Yu Yin's heart was filled with fear, but his face remained calm, with a hint of a smile, and he spoke very casually.

  Ye Chen's mouth corners slightly curved, but his eyes were even colder. He looked at Gou Zi who was forcing himself to calm down, his voice was calm without any emotional fluctuations, "Gou family's second young master, you are indeed calm and composed, this point is much better than your younger and older brothers."

  "Hehe, thank you Ye Shao for your praise. It's late at night and I'm afraid I haven't taken good care of you. Why don't we have a heart-to-heart talk instead? Being able to chat with Ye Shao is my great honor." Gu You smiled and said.

  "Go and have a nice chat with King Yan." Ye Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his five fingers turned into claws as he reached out.

  Bang!

  Almost at the same time Ye Chen made his move, a loud noise came, the bed opened and closed, Gu You's figure suddenly disappeared on the bed, and then a voice came, "Haha, Ye Shao, you gave everything to the Gu family, Gu You will always remember, and will definitely repay in the future."

  Ye Chen was slightly stunned, lifted the quilt he was wearing, and immediately saw a seam in the middle of the bed. This was clearly an entrance to an underground passageway. He tried slapping it with his palm, but it made a loud "clang" sound. The hidden door was apparently made of high-quality steel, and Ye Chen estimated that it was at least half a meter thick, making it impossible to break through no matter what.

  Ye Chen never thought that Gou Yin would put in such effort on his own bed, a young man who was not yet twenty years old had already made preparations for the future, leaving himself with a way out, this kind of person is really somewhat frightening.

  But it was no use thinking about it, the person had already escaped, and besides, the tunnel didn't know where it led to, Ye Chen couldn't chase after him either, he stood by the bed for a moment before quickly leaving.

  The Gu family's matter is done, now it's the Duanmu family's turn. Ye Chenruo jumped onto the rooftop of Lincheng Building like a night owl, his white figure flashing as he rushed towards the Duanmu residence.

  Duanmu's residence, like the Elder Hall, was quiet and still, without any lights or guards patrolling around. It was eerily silent, and Ye Chen suddenly appeared in the midst of it all.

  "Who! Daring to intrude into the old mansion of the Du Mu family in the dead of night, you must have eaten the gallbladder of a leopard!"

  As soon as the leaves fell into the courtyard, the only remaining elder was startled awake, and he hastily got dressed and went out. His eyes were cold and stern as he looked at the white figure in the courtyard, and when he saw that it was a young man, his face suddenly changed. "You... are Ye Chen!"

  "Not bad, it's me, specially come to take your dog life!"

  Ye Chen's body was like a whirlwind, his hands were like lightning, he crossed the distance of over ten meters in one step, his fists were as thick as mountains, with a loud crash, he exploded the air, the airflow surged wildly, shattering a wooden wall.

  The elder raised his hand to block, and the two fists met, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds and a shrill scream. The old man's body was like being struck by a mountain, heavily flying back, crashing into a large area of buildings, and landing with a loud bang in the main hall of the Elder Hall, with blood flowing from his seven orifices, a fist-sized hole in his chest, and his right arm blown to pulp.

  Now, Ye Chen doesn't need to hold back his strength, he can fight quickly and decisively, one strike will kill.

  Wow!

  A sharp eagle cry pierced the night sky, the wooden house creaked and split inch by inch, an old man dressed in black night flew out like a hawk, his hands turned into claws, his fingertips radiating a faint cold light, he swung his claws repeatedly, amidst the whooshing sound, all airflow was cut off.

  A series of sharp claw winds enveloped Ye Chen, astonishingly fierce, and an ordinary Ninth-Order peak expert would have died instantly under such an attack.

  Clang Clang!!

  Ye Chen's face was flushed as he threw seven or eight punches, shattering the air with a loud crash. The meteorite iron fist guards on his hands splashed out strings of sparks, and his body flew back several meters before coming to a stop. He looked at the old man in front of him, who wore black clothes and had black hair, but his eyebrows were snow-white and slanted upwards. His face was ruddy and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

  "Not bad, better than Lao Gou's old man by a bit." Ye Chen said calmly.

  The old man's eyes were cold and gloomy, his whole body shrouded in a murderous aura. "I had originally planned to take your life tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come seeking death tonight. This is even better, it saves me the trouble of making an extra trip. Ye family's young one, hand over the treasure and come to accept your death."

  "You ignorant old man!" Ye Chen snorted, suddenly letting out a mighty roar, his fists like mountains, charging out to kill.

  The old man's eyes narrowed, and he rose into the air, forming two powerful wings of energy behind him, making his speed incredibly fast. In a flash, he dodged Ye Chen's killing blow and swooped down, leaving a faint shadow in mid-air.

  The sharp eagle claw was about to pierce Ye Chen's throat, and in an instant it had arrived right before him. Ye Chen was slightly startled - the old man from the Du Mu family was indeed much stronger than the one from the Gu family, especially his speed, which allowed him to stand undefeated among those of the same rank.

  Claws came, Ye Chen dodged sideways, just avoiding it, and simultaneously punched out a fist, with a whistling wind.

  On Monday, I begged for flowers, and cried begging for flowers. Looking at the new book, the second and third clicks are not necessary. Why is there such a big difference in the number of flowers? Brothers, let's lift up the holy emperor! Are we really worse than them? No, I know you can do it, come on and give me all the flowers!
