"A dead man's identity holds no interest to us!" the middle-aged man with the Great Compassion and Benevolence Companion demeanor bore down oppressively, ready to join the ferocious grandmaster in delivering the killing blow to Ye Chen.

"I am a member of the Dragon Group!" Ye Chen said. "All of you are regional grandmasters and should know what kind of existence the Dragon Group represents. I don't believe you'd dare to lay hands on and kill an officer of the Dragon Group!"

"Dragon Group?" Upon hearing what Ye Chen said, the expressions on the faces of the group fluctuated uncertainly.

The Dragon Group was Huaxia's supreme organization, created to deter people like them from causing chaos with their martial prowess.

"So what if it's the Dragon Group?"

"We are all peerless grandmasters. Once we kill you, who can do anything to us?" the ferocious grandmaster arrogantly declared.

"Your cultivation is incredibly powerful, capable of reigning supreme in your territories!" Ye Chen said. "But don't forget, within the Dragon Group exists the supreme Dragon Head, who is on the level of a Land God. To extinguish grandmasters like yourselves would be as easy as flicking a fly!"

Right now, Ye Chen was bluffing massively, attempting to intimidate the peerless grandmasters before him. These people were of the same caliber as colossal crocodiles, or even stronger! Should a battle commence, even if Ye Chen gave his all, it would be hard for him to gain the upper hand.

"Indeed, the head of the Dragon Group is a great god, but with the emergence of a powerful hermit's haven in this land, the qi has been disrupted. As long as we kill you covertly, even the Dragon Head would not be able to divine who was responsible!" the diminutive elder said.

Ye Chen's face darkened; these people harbored a strong intent to kill him, and he couldn't shake their resolve with mere words.

"You all know of the Three Kings of Chaos, don't you?" Ye Chen said. "They are my grandfathers. If you dare lay a finger on me, any one of my grandfathers could sweep you to your deaths with ease!"

Ye Chen invoked the terrifying and infamous Three Kings of Chaos, hoping to frighten those before him. After all, the Three Kings of Chaos were once notorious figures, exerting great deterrence over unruly characters!

"You're the grandson of those three old thieves?" the ferocious grandmaster glowered.

"The Three Kings of Chaos were predecessors of great virtue and talent, how dare you call them old thieves?" Ye Chen retorted.

For some reason, seeing the ferocious grandmaster's reaction, Ye Chen felt a sense of foreboding.

"To hell with your grandfathers!" the ferocious grandmaster raged. "Ten years ago, I was so poor I couldn't afford meat, and on a whim, I tried to rob an armored cash transport. But then I was chased down by the War King, Wu Jingxia, who relentlessly pursued me through ten main streets, making a laughingstock of me in front of my martial peers!"

"I bear a grudge against that War King that cannot be reconciled under the same sky, and now, unexpectedly, you turn out to be the grandson of that old thief!" The ferocious grandmaster's eyes blazed with a cannibalistic gleam.

"I am his grandson, but we have no blood relation, elder, please don't misunderstand!" Ye Chen had the feeling of shooting himself in the foot.

"Haha, it's all the same!" the ferocious grandmaster said. "A few days ago, the Three Kings of Chaos issued a hero's invitation, calling for top experts from all directions to gather, though I don't know for what purpose."

"I was contemplating gathering some friends to crash their party! But before that could happen, fate has let me encounter their unlucky grandson right here!"

"..." The words 'unlucky grandson' made Ye Chen feel as though he had been stabbed in the heart.

"I can't defeat your grandfathers, but bullying their grandson is an easy catch!" The ferocious grandmaster looked down on Ye Chen with contempt as if he were already a dead man. "Kid, I was initially hired to kill you, and success was uncertain, but now that you've revealed your identity, if I don't tear you to pieces today, I'd be dishonoring the deep grudge of Wu Jingxia chopping me through ten streets!"

The ferocious grandmaster howled repeatedly, eventually his figure darting back and forth as he lunged at Ye Chen, engaging in fierce combat.

"You old snap turtle, if you're so capable, go find my second grandfather. Bullying a junior like me, what skill is that!" Ye Chen exclaimed angrily.

The ferocious grandmaster's moves were tyrannical, with True Qi running throughout his body, his vigor rampaging. With a single palm strike, rolling forceful winds blew, nearly preventing one from opening their eyes, the power of the blow was astonishing.

This man's cultivation, even if not on par with the Three Kings of Chaos, had reached the Late Grandmaster Stage, a realm above Ye Chen in terms of power!

However, Ye Chen was no pushover; he unfolded the Lotus Seal with his hands, withstanding the overpowering palm, not retreating an inch.

Ye Chen, now in the Mid Grandmaster Stage, possessed physical strength comparable to a Grandmaster Peak. When both strengths combined, they enabled him to have the fighting power of the Late Grandmaster Stage, not at all weaker than the ferocious grandmaster!

When titans clash, the brave emerge victorious!

If Ye Chen chose to avoid the battle, he would fall into a disadvantage and show signs of collapse. Once he allowed the ferocious grandmaster to aggressively chase and attack him, he might find himself in a situation with no hope for survival.

"Junior, you do have some skills!"

The thundering and lightning-fast exchange took the ferocious grandmaster by surprise; Ye Chen didn't seem as weak as he had imagined.

"I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve!" Ye Chen said coldly, sneering.

"Then I will join you in a true fight. That palm strike was just at seventy percent of my strength!" the ferocious grandmaster sneered with a menacing laugh, launching a dominant assault on Ye Chen.

"Young master here only used fifty percent strength. If I strike with full force, I could explode you in seconds!" Ye Chen spoke sharply.

"Ignorant!"

The ferocious grandmaster laughed in extreme anger, his overwhelming combat power erupting, aiming to crush Ye Chen with the thunder.

"Hmph!" Ye Chen sneered coldly, meeting the ferocious grandmaster's attack head-on, without a trace of fear.

"Kings and tyrants roam freely, a punch that pierces the heavens!"

"..."

"Heaven and earth in harmony, dragon and snake strike together!"

"..."

Ye Chen fought fiercely with the savage Grandmaster, while the others watched with cold eyes. Their only purpose was to see Ye Chen dead. It didn't matter who made the move, as long as Ye Chen died, their goal would be achieved. Now that someone was doing the dirty work for them, the others were naturally happy to reap the benefits.

Of course, no one present believed that Ye Chen could be stronger than the savage Grandmaster!

After all, given Ye Chen's age, the level of his cultivation was frightening enough! If he could also overpower a Peerless Grandmaster, that wouldn't just be frightening, it would be terrifying!

"You old thief, using your age to bully the young, have you no shame?!"

As everyone expected, after thirty to fifty moves, Ye Chen finally appeared to be at a disadvantage. However, even so, his performance was still astonishing.

"I am the one bullying you, what can your grandpa do to me? I'll target his grandson!" the savage Grandmaster laughed wildly. "I do plan to bully the young, and if you don't like it, come and hit me!"

The savage Grandmaster felt no shame in using his age as an advantage against the young; in fact, he took perverse pleasure in it, finding tormenting his enemy's grandson a satisfying way to vent his grudge!

"Damn you, you shameless old crook!"

Ye Chen couldn't believe that a formidable Grandmaster could be so brazenly shameless when being unreasonable!

"Dragon's Grip and Tiger's Claw, shattering rocks and metal!"

At this moment, the savage Grandmaster struck with the force of thunder, exuding the aura of a Grandmaster without reserve. Ye Chen could barely hold his own, always on the verge of showing defeat.

Although Ye Chen seemed to be in constant danger, dancing on the edge of a knife, in reality he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve; he was hiding his true skill!

The combat strength of this savage Grandmaster was only comparable to that of the crocodile clan leader. Ye Chen had long been able to match the giant crocodile and even forced it into a ragged retreat. Naturally, he was not afraid of this savage Grandmaster.

What Ye Chen was wary of were the other individuals present. The savage Grandmaster might have the strongest momentum, but he was actually the weakest among them.

The middle-aged man with the visage of Great Compassion and Benevolence was stronger than him. So was the short and stout old man, not to mention Fang Ruolan, who had been biding her time, and the tall figure emanating an aura of lifelessness—these were the reasons for Ye Chen's apprehension.

In such a situation, without unleashing tenfold combat power, Ye Chen was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. Even with a surge in strength, his survival remained uncertain.

These individuals were too formidable, especially the short old man and the lifeless tall figure, which made Ye Chen's heart pound with fear.

"This kid is holding back!"

The middle-aged man with the appearance of Great Compassion and Benevolence finally noticed something amiss; with his acute perception, he saw through Ye Chen's deliberate clumsiness!

On the surface, Ye Chen seemed to be suppressed by the savage Grandmaster, barely able to keep up, but in reality, his steps were steady and he showed no signs of panic—clearly, he was handling it with ease!

"With such accomplishments at such a young age, and already our enemy, we absolutely cannot allow him to become a scourge upon the world!" The middle-aged man joined the fray, pressing down on Ye Chen alongside the savage Grandmaster. "Why aren't the rest of you displaying your Divine Skills and totally suppressing him? If he escapes today, it will be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains!"

"To bully the weak is already shameless enough!"

"But I never imagined you could be so utterly shameless that you don't even want to wait for a proper challenge and would instead ambush me!"

Ye Chen said angrily as the middle-aged man's intervention greatly increased his pressure.

The middle-aged man with the appearance of Great Compassion and Mercy was far stronger than the savage Grandmaster; he was probably on the verge of stepping into the Grandmaster Peak phase.

This man might have the visage of Great Compassion and Benevolence, but once he made a move, he was cunning and malicious, making it nearly impossible to guard against him at any moment.

However, Ye Chen was exceptionally stunning, with an unmatched physique, only a step away from reaching the Mid Grandmaster Stage. Even with two strong opponents joining forces, they couldn't easily defeat him!

But if the battle continued like this, Ye Chen couldn't avoid a doomed fate.

However, Ye Chen was waiting for an opportunity!

Ye Chen's biggest trump card was the Secret Technique that allowed him to explode with ten times his combat strength, but even this profound and unpredictable technique wouldn't allow him to keep exploding with power endlessly!

In his battle with the giant crocodile, Ye Chen had used this Secret Technique, forcing his opponent into a sorry escape. He had come to a conclusion: fifteen minutes as the god of death, followed by fifteen minutes as a dead man!

This intense outburst of power could only last for fifteen minutes. During that time, he was the reaper of lives, but once the time passed, he would suffer backlash, lose his powers, and be left at the mercy of others.

"Aren't you going to make a move yet?" the middle-aged man became increasingly alarmed as he fought. He called out to Fang Ruolan and the short old man to join the fight. "This young man's realm may not be high, but his combat capability is extraordinary. If you don't take action, there's a good chance he'll break free!"

"When he makes his comeback, that will be the time of our downfall!"
