Chapter Seventy-Five: Even an Ant Can Kill You

  Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the large knife in his hand shot out straight.

  "Ding!"

  The tip of the sword and the tip of the spear faced each other, two forces collided, with the two as the point of contact, the air was shocked into ripples, surging in all directions.

  Sizzle!

  Ye Chen's feet rubbed against the ground, constantly retreating, and two deep marks appeared on the ground. The hard bluestone floor was reduced to powder wherever Ye Chen's feet had scraped by.

  Buzz!

  Jiang Ming's single arm shook, the long spear slightly rotated, the spearhead shifted to the side, and left Ye Chen's large knife tip to kill forward. Ye Chen's wrist twisted, and the knife tip of the big knife was again pressed against the spearhead.

  Ye Chen's body kept retreating, his feet stuck to the ground, and he didn't stop until he had retreated seven or eight meters before stabilizing his figure. Jiang Ming's fierce flames neighed loudly, but were blocked by a powerful force and couldn't gallop forward. Its two front hooves were raised high, constantly kicking.

  "Die, kid!"

  Jiang Ming let out a cold shout, his left hand rotating, and suddenly golden light flickered, this was the precursor to his spiritual power being released. He had already reached the realm of Zhunming Hai's secret boundary, his strength far surpassing that of the three major families' old guys by more than one level.

  "Go back!"

  Ye Chen let out a low growl, emitting a beast-like roar. His entire body suddenly expanded, his muscles bulging high, and in an instant he transformed into a sturdy giant. The Crazy Transformation Technique revolved, his arm shook, and immense power surged forth, passing through the blade and piercing directly through Jiang Ming's spear tip.

  Hallelujah!

  Jiang Ming's Flame Horse let out a long whinny, and was directly sent flying by the massive force. Jiang Ming leapt into the air, leaving his horse's back, and with a swift motion of his hand, he used his spear as a staff to strike at Ye Chen's head.

  Buzz!

  The air was dispersed, and the golden light on the long gun flickered. A strong sense of oppression and aura was produced, piercing through the void, even people tens of meters away felt short of breath, feeling the oppressive sensation brought by the powerful aura from Jiang Ming's body.

  "Be careful, Chen'er!" Ye Xiao Tian loudly reminded.

  Ye Yan's eyes showed a hint of anxiety, and Nan Er was even more tense, grasping Ye Yan's hand tightly, almost crushing it, making Ye Yan gasp in shock. She couldn't believe that this little girl had such great strength, her grip was like a vice, making her bones feel like they were about to shatter.

  "Clang!"

  A shrill metallic vibration, Ye Chen swung his great knife in a horizontal slash, striking the gun with a loud clang. The two weapons collided and rebounded, at which point Ye Chen took a step forward and launched a fist strike, the Overlord's furious roar shaking heaven and earth.

  A massive fist print came roaring in, killing its way towards Jiang Ming.

  "The firefly's light, how dare you compete with the bright moon? You are just an ant after all!"

  Jiang Ming's voice was filled with endless disdain, and his golden-glowing palm slapped out one after another.

  BOOM!!

  A blast of air shot out, surging towards Ye Chen like a mountain collapse. The golden light on his palm collided with Ye Chen's fist print, producing a dull thud as the fist print shattered. Jiang Ming took advantage of the momentum to advance, his flashing golden palm pressing straight for Ye Chen's chest.

  Within a few meters around the two men fighting, the air was wildly turbulent, as if it were going to shatter space itself, terrifying to the extreme, causing everyone to hold their breath.

  "The firefly's light can still illuminate the world, today you will know what it means to have me as your invincible opponent." Ye Chen's voice was filled with an overbearing and unbeatable conviction.

  "Big Bang Fist!"

  Ye Chen lightly drank, and a palm shot out. The entire palm had completely turned into an orange-gold color, as if it was cast from dark gold. The airflow was completely shattered into nothingness. Under this one palm, even space seemed to be slightly distorted.

  That palm was like a golden sun, dazzling and piercing, with unmatched power and momentum, meeting Jiang Ming's palm.

  Bang!

  Two palms faced each other, and a golden light rippled out like ripples. Then, with a dull thud, Jiang Ming's body was hit by a mountain, flying six or seven meters away, his entire arm limp and dangling, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

  "He..." He looked at Ye Chen with a shocked expression, as if he was looking at a monster, a freak, his eyes filled with incredulity.

  "You actually didn't rely on spiritual energy, how... your physical strength is so powerful..." Jiang Ming was shocked beyond measure. How could he not feel it when his cultivation had reached this level? When Ye Chen had exchanged palms with him just now, there wasn't even a hint of spiritual energy fluctuation. If he had mobilized his spiritual energy, there would definitely have been some fluctuation, but Ye Chen had clearly used pure physical strength. His orange-golden palm, like molten gold, was still deeply etched in Jiang Ming's memory. There was only one possibility - that it was his blood aura. Astonishingly, it was an orange-golden color, just like the legendary ones. Having lived for nearly two hundred years, he had never heard of anyone having orange-golden colored blood aura.

  Jiang Ming's words made most people's eyes widen, many people knew that Ye Chen had a treasure on him, although they also thought he was talented, but absolutely did not think that he could kill so many elders without relying on the treasure but with his physical strength alone. Now hearing Jiang Ming say this, everyone looked at Ye Chen with even more incredulous eyes.

  "You're just a frog at the bottom of a well, there are many things in this world that you don't know about. Today, let me broaden your horizons." Ye Chen said calmly, his palm slowly rising, golden light rippling, and his hand transformed into orange-gold once again, with its color deepening gradually. A powerful destructive aura began to emanate from it.

  "You demon, today I will risk my life to strike you down."

  Jiang Ming let out a loud roar, his head full of white hair standing on end, extremely frightening. "Blood energy burning, transformed into a gun shadow, annihilating everything!"

  Jiang Ming didn't know where he got a mysterious technique that burned his blood energy, this technique was equivalent to burning his life force, hurting the enemy eight hundred and damaging himself one thousand, now using it, just to kill Ye Chen.

  He shot out one gun, and instantly a thousand guns turned into ten thousand guns. Each gun shadow carried sharp killing intent, piercing through the void, and the space seemed to be full of holes. The golden gun shadows were dazzling and piercing.

  Ye Chen's pupils constricted, and a hint of cruel coldness spread from the corners of his mouth. It had to be said that Jiang Ming was very powerful, and if he didn't use the Great Collapse Technique, there would be no way to defeat him. But in front of the Great Collapse Technique, even if he used the secret method to burn his blood energy, there was only one dead end.

  A sky full of golden gun shadows enveloped Ye Chen, as if he was in a golden cage. The gun shadows attacked, and before they even reached his body, his skin felt a stinging sensation. It could be imagined how terrifying Jiang Ming's attack power was this time.

  "Big Bang Punch!"

  Ye Chen stood still, his single hand clapping continuously, as golden palm prints detached from his palm, shining like the scorching sun, sweeping across all directions. Everything in its path collapsed and shattered, nothing could withstand it.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  The shadows of the guns shattered inch by inch, turning into light fragments that disappeared between heaven and earth. Some gun shadows pierced through Ye Chen's palm, without bringing up a single drop of blood, only an endless metallic hum.

  Jiang Ming's powerful and sharp attack couldn't break through Ye Chen's defense of his palm when he was about to unleash the Great Collapse Palm. Under the Great Collapse Palm, Ye Chen's palm was harder than refined iron, unbreakable by ten thousand swords. With one sweep of his palm, everything was shattered, and all were defeated before him.

  Seeing his own burning blood and energy being so easily broken by Ye Chen, Jiang Ming let out a deafening roar, "Impossible, impossible!"

  "Clang!"

  Ye Chen took a step closer, narrowing the distance between him and Jiang Ming. In an instant, he struck out with his palm, slapping it onto the long spear in Jiang Ming's hand. With a loud clang, the spear made of some unknown precious metal snapped into two pieces, breaking into two segments.

  Jiang Ming was shocked, holding a broken spear, and with a swift movement, he stabbed out, wanting to pierce Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen sneered, grasping the incoming half of the spear shaft firmly in his hand, and with lightning speed, reached out and pinched Jiang Ming's neck, his five fingers tightening, lifting him up with one hand.

  "I am the firefly, you are the bright moon, what is the outcome now? Is it really dark and without light, can even an ant kill you?" Ye Chen laughed, a mocking laugh.

  Jiang Ming's legs kicked out, his old face reddening with rage, as he shouted: "Ye Chen, you little scamp! The powerful ones from the Wang City's Secret Realm of the Nether Sea are about to arrive at Lin City. You and all the Ye family members will not be able to escape death. What is there for me to fear in dying after living a lifetime?"

  "Not bad, you're not afraid of death, after all, one foot is already in the coffin. " Ye Chen smiled, his face cold and stern, "But what about the others in your Jiang family?" He pointed at Jiang Xingyun, who was already scared out of his wits in the distance, and said, "Your Jiang family will be cut off from now on."

  "You... you dare!" Jiang's face turned stern, saying: "Do you know what a great crime it is to kill the lord of a city in Chu State? Even if you have ten clans, they wouldn't be enough for the King of Chu to kill."

  "What I hate the most is being threatened by others," Ye Chen said calmly, "The heavens are high and the emperor is far away. At this moment, I only want to kill you people from the Jiang family, eliminate any future troubles, and don't think too much about anything else."

  Ye Chen finished speaking, his five fingers exerted force and twisted, with a cracking sound, Jiang Ming's laryngeal prominence fractured, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his mouth.

  "Grandfather!" Jiang Xingyun shouted loudly, his eyes wide with rage, forgetting all fear, pointing at Ye Chen and giving the order, "Two thousand soldiers, charge forward, trample down the Ye family, kill that little beast!"

  Bang!

  Ye Chen threw Jiang Ming's body at Jiang Xingyun with a backhand, and with a loud noise, he was knocked off his horse, and even the Flame Horse was knocked to the ground.

  "Come on if you're not afraid of death!"

  Ye Chen held a large knife, his white clothes fluttering like snow, and with one swing of the blade, the entire ground trembled. The armies that were about to charge forward were frightened into retreating in unison. Two hundred Iron Tooth soldiers and a thousand skilled warriors were all beheaded by Ye Chen's blade. Although they had two thousand men, their overall strength was no match for the Iron Tooth army and the thousand skilled warriors. Knowing it would be suicidal, who would be foolish enough to charge forward regardless of their own lives?

  Jiang Xingyun spat out a big mouthful of blood, struggled to his feet from the ground, glared at his troops and bellowed: "Did you hear the orders of your commander? Charge forward and trample down the Ye family!"

  The soldiers looked at me, I looked at them, no one moved, hesitant to advance. At this moment, Ye Chen made a move, his toes touched the ground lightly, and a string of white illusions appeared, instantly arriving in front of Jiang Xingyun.

  Bang!

  A slap was thrown out, Jiang Xingyun's figure was pulled up into the air like a bomb, before he even landed, Ye Chen rose into the air, one large foot came down, and with a loud crash, he stomped him to the ground, his bones broken and tendons snapped, a huge blood hole in his chest, bright red blood gushing out wildly.
