Chapter Eighty-Five: Three Little Clowns

  Ying City is a large city in Chu State, and it is many times more prosperous than Lin City.

  Ye Chen hugged Xiao Xianfeng and Ye Yan, walking side by side into the city. The streets were wide, lined with shops everywhere. The main street was bustling with carriages and horses, people coming and going, while vendors on both sides shouted loudly, making it very lively.

  "Wow, there are so many people here!" Xiaoxian Shuang exclaimed excitedly, turning her head to look around, her big eyes shining brightly, clearly full of curiosity about everything she saw.

  "There's a big windmill over there, does Xian'er like it? Brother will buy one for you." Ye Chen said, pointing to a small stall selling toy windmills.

  "No, no." Little Xianfeng shook her head, pouting her small mouth and said: "I don't want to, that's what little kids play with, I'm not a little kid."

  Ye Chen: ......

  Ye Yan: ......

  They walked into an inn, ordered a room on the second floor, and it was Ye Yan's decision again. Then they entered the wine building, ordered a big table of dishes, this time it was Ye Chen who ordered, and let Xiaoxian's eyes be full of stars. She had never seen so many delicious foods before, and the styles were also strange and unusual.

  This tavern was very lively, with three floors in total. Ye Chen and the others were on the third floor, which had dozens of tables, almost all of which were full, filled with people of all shapes and sizes. Judging from their accents when talking to each other, some of them weren't locals from the city, but rather came from surrounding towns.

  Ying City governs an area of over 10,000 miles in circumference, with many towns and villages under its jurisdiction, each with different dialects. Many martial arts schools and secular sects, as well as some small families, can be found in these towns.

  This time, the Lincheng Grand Selection will be held here, and all four major blessed lands will come to personally select their disciples. All young cultivators in Ying City have rushed over, not only that, but also some young cultivators from Lincheng who were originally supposed to participate in the cancelled selection in Lincheng have also arrived in Ying City. They all hope to suppress their opponents on the competition stage with their abilities and gain the favor of one of the blessed lands, becoming a disciple, which would be like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, soaring to great heights.

  Any sect in the eyes of the secular world is a high and unattainable fairyland, so people all sharpen their heads to drill in, but only once every five years is there a secular selection contest, and the four major blessed lands have a fixed quota of only four each time. Of course, there are also non-fixed quotas. If you can be favored by the blessed land, even if you don't get a good ranking in the big competition, you still have a chance to enter the blessed land for cultivation.

  "I heard that the Iron Fist Sect has produced an exceptionally talented disciple, who is only twenty years old and has already reached the peak of eight segments. His fists are as hard as fine iron weapons, and this time he may have a chance to be favored by one of the blessed lands and enter the blessed land for cultivation. In the future, the Iron Fist Sect will have a powerful backer."

  "I don't think it's necessarily the case, among the several major families in our city, there is no shortage of talented disciples, and there are many who have reached the peak of 8th rank, each one incredibly powerful, with combat strength rivaling that of a 9th rank beginner. The disciple from the Iron Fist Sect, Wu Lingfeng, may not be able to surpass them."

  "Hey! You've forgotten one person. If that person were to come to Ying City and participate in this selection tournament, I think no one would be able to rival him."

  "Who has such great abilities? You're exaggerating." Someone expressed their disbelief.

  "Haven't you guys heard of the man from Lincheng? Even all the elders of the three major families in Lincheng fell to his hands, who among the younger generation can match him?"

  "I've heard of this before, but it's just a rumor. I refuse to believe that there are actually people out there who are so perverted."

  "I don't believe it either."

  From a distance, Ye Chen heard some people's discussions and didn't expect that his affairs in Lin City had spread to Ying City.

  "Chen Di, you've become a celebrity now!" Ye Yan smiled and said.

  "Yan Jie, are you also making fun of me?" Ye Chen looked at him speechlessly and then continued to serve Xiaoxian Shuang.

  The little girl's mouth was full of greasy food, and Ye Chen carefully wiped it for her. At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the wooden ladder on the second floor, very loud, causing all the diners on the entire floor to stop moving and turn their heads to look over.

  Ye Chen glanced slightly, and saw three big men with a rough appearance walking towards him with large strides. Every step they took made the entire floor shake, showing the terrifying power in their feet.

  Some people turned their heads as soon as they saw these three people, with a look of great apprehension.

  The seats upstairs were all full, and every table was crowded with people. Three big men took a glance, and finally set their eyes on Ye Chen, especially when they saw Ye Yan, their eyes shone even brighter, as if they had spotted prey.

  Ye Yan's appearance was delicate and charming, with a special temperament that made her look both delicate and lovely. The three of them couldn't help but stare at her, and they immediately walked over to her.

  Three big men walked up to Ye Chen's table, looking down at them condescendingly, and then directly said to Ye Chen: "Kid, we're taking this spot. You guys get out of here immediately."

  Xiao Xianfeng was eating happily when three fierce and evil-looking men suddenly appeared, startling her. She shrank into Ye Chen's arms, looking up at him with big, pitiful eyes, saying: "Big brother, why do they want to drive us away? This is clearly our spot."

  "Xian'er don't be afraid." Ye Chen patted the small shoulder of the frightened girl, smiled faintly, and then looked at the three burly men with ferocious faces, saying: "If you want us to leave, give a reason."

  The eyes of the three big men were not on Ye Chen at all, but were staring straight at Ye Yan, their mouths watering so much that they almost drooled, making Ye Chen's heart turn cold.

  "Hey, you're lucky we're telling you to leave, don't waste any more words, get out of here now!" The big man in the middle said fiercely, pointing at Ye Yan again and saying: "The men take the kid and get lost immediately, and the women stay behind for us."

  Hahaha!!!

  The two big men beside him burst out laughing, laughing without any restraint.

  Ye Chen also smiled, with a cold and murderous intent in his smile. He placed Xiao Xian'er on the chair, stood up, and said: "You're looking for death!"

  "Your mom's little white face, what are you saying? Are you tired of living or something? You dare to provoke the three heroes of Ying City, are you fed up with life?" The big man in the middle sneered and said to a big man beside him: "Old Three, take care of him!"

  "Hey, you little white face, I can crush you to death with just one hand!" The big man known as Old Three sneered, stretching out a large hand to grab Ye Chen, looking like he was picking up a small chicken. In his eyes, this handsome and refined-looking young man seemed too weak, completely unable to fight back.

  Ye Yan didn't say a word, quietly sitting there, still eating something in her mouth, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

  That big furry hand grasped over, Ye Chen reached out his hand and with a crisp crackling sound, immediately followed by a loud shout.

  Bang!

  That big fellow flew directly out of the window, crashing to the ground with a loud thud from the third floor, smashing a deep pit into the street surface. A large amount of blood gushed out of his ears, nose and mouth, inhaling more than exhaling, looking like he was done for.

  On the third floor, everyone was stunned, and before they could react to what was happening, a person flew out. Those who knew about Ying Cheng San Xiong's methods all shook their heads secretly, thinking that Ye Chen was definitely dead today. In this city of Ying Cheng, apart from the family disciples and sects, as well as the City Master's Mansion, who would dare to challenge Ying Cheng San Xiong? That would be seeking death.

  "You little bastard, how dare you hurt my brother! Damn it, today I'll let you witness your woman being killed by us!" The eldest of the three men from Ying City's eyes were fiercely staring, his muscles all bulging.

  "Fourth brother, kill them!"

  Ye Yan suddenly stopped all movements while eating, his face turned extremely cold, and his whole face was full of murderous intent.

  Without Ye Yan opening his mouth, Ye Chen had already made a move. How could he tolerate these people insulting Ye Yan like this? The two big men hadn't even reacted yet when the sound of bones cracking continuously rang out. Crackling sounds kept going on.

  A big Han's shoulder blades were all crushed, and the old man's breastbone was cracked six or seven times.

  Ye Chen struck without mercy, his palm waving continuously, and the eldest of the three heroes of Ying City was covered in stars, with a rough and violent big face bleeding profusely, I guess even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

  These three are nothing but mid-level eighth-grade, to Ye Chen they are just ants. With one move, he twisted off the big man's arm. Ye Chen's eyes were cold and stern as he said: "You humiliated her, you will die without a whole corpse!"

  "No, sir, I was wrong. I didn't recognize Mount Tai when I saw it. Please spare me, please spare me." The eldest of the three finally knew that he had messed with the wrong person today and begged for mercy, changing from his previous strong stance to a submissive one.

  "Let you off?"

  Ye Chen coldly smiled and pinched his neck with one hand.

  Pfft!

  A blood arrow shot up one meter high, the floor above echoed with screams, some timid ones were so scared that their souls left their bodies, how could they have seen such a violent and cruel scene.

  Ye Chen twisted his head down, and with a loud crash it was still on the ground. He viciously trampled it into a pulp. Another burly man whose shoulder blades had been crushed was scared out of his wits, his whole body trembling. The fresh blood splattered on him emitted a strong smell of gore that made his gallbladder burst. He couldn't understand how he, who was used to bullying others, could have provoked such a terrifying person today.

  Bang!

  Another loud crash, Ye Chen kicked Lao Er flying out with one foot, smashing a big hole in the wall and directly hitting the main street, breaking bones and tendons, internal organs were all shaken into pulp.

  One-second kill!

  A complete and utter slaughter, everyone on this floor was stunned. That young man in white clothes, who seemed harmless, turned out to be terrifyingly ruthless. Some people woke up from their shock, bent over and vomited non-stop. The pungent smell of blood and the shattered skull made them feel cold all over, even their legs were trembling.

  "Don't panic, everyone, I just casually got rid of three pests. You all continue eating." Ye Chen said calmly, then sat down and continued to feed Xiao Xianfeng.

  Everyone sat down nervously, but no one had an appetite. Their stomachs were churning with anxiety, and they almost threw up the leftovers from last night's dinner.

  Ye Yan looked at Ye Chen with a warm and gentle gaze in her eyes, "Chen brother, thank you."

  Friends who read books at dawn, I hope you can throw a few flowers, Monday rush list, flowers are very important, use your power to push "Holy Emperor" to the top of the new book list!
