"Escape!"
After the strongest war immortal roared, Murong Changtian instantaneously reacted, no longer concerned for the clanspeople of the place, and his figure swiftly moved to leave.
Murong Changtian would not doubt his third uncle's words, because the truth lay before his very eyes, Ye Chen's combat power was comparable to that of the strongest successors!
Although he himself was considered a formidable person, in front of such a ferocious deity, he could at best take a few more punches.
Seeing that the situation was dire, Murong Changtian turned to flee, and the other prodigies acted similarly, all turning tail to run.
At this point, these people had all begun to see clearly, setting aside their pride, aware it was time to avoid the sharp edge.
The events of today had been too bizarre; an ancient family had actually suffered a setback here!
Whether it was Yun Zheyue or Ye Chen, the combat power of these two individuals had greatly exceeded their expectations.
Yun Zheyue possessed the combat power of the strongest successor, and Ye Chen also had this level of combat power, which was truly rather terrifying!
The title of strongest successor was something an ancient family would only have one of!
Yet, here in this place, two venerables appeared at once, Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue, both possessed the combat power of the strongest successors!
Goddamn, who says that the martial way in the mundane world has declined, step forward and I promise I won't kill you!
Flee! Flee! Flee!
Whether it was Murong Changtian, Xue Qixing, or He Bingyun, all of them were terrified in their hearts, afraid of these monstrous beings.
But, just as Murong Changtian, He Bingyun, and the others were frantically escaping, a figure appeared in front of them.
"What!" Murong Changtian's face showed panic, a hand reached out to grasp him, and he actually couldn't muster the thought to resist.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Murong Changtian was thrown to the ground, Lin Wantao was thrown to the ground, the two brothers from the Xue Family were also thrown to the ground, He Bingyun was not thrown to the ground though, for she was captured.
The one who made the move was naturally Ye Chen, the strong heirs of the ancient families vulnerable as chicks before him, with practically no capacity to resist, almost simultaneously captured.
"If you've come, why not sit and chat for a while, why rush off?" Ye Chen looked at He Bingyun, a face full of frivolous intent.
"Bastard, let go of me!" He Bingyun's face was ice-cold as she harshly spoke out against Ye Chen.
While Murong Changtian and the others were thrown on the ground, she was firmly grasped by Ye Chen and did not let go, which incited He Bingyun's fierce resistance.
"Everyone better behave themselves, otherwise I will kill!" Ye Chen let go of He Bingyun, looking around at the people as he spoke.
Ye Chen didn't conceal his murderous intent; these people had been arrogant and overbearing, resorting to force, and had nearly killed his woman. If it wasn't for him gaining strength, he himself would have fallen prey to them.
All of these individuals were his enemies, and Ye Chen would not show mercy or soft-heartedness.
The intimidating manner of Ye Chen caused Xue Qixing, Lin Wantao, and the others to feel tension in their hearts; they all became reasonable for a moment, not foolishly provoking Ye Chen any further.
At this point, the people of the ancient families had understandably come to realize that they had kicked an iron plate this time!
"Beautiful, what's your name?" Ye Chen turned towards He Bingyun, the harshness on his face dissolving away, revealing a warm smile, looking as if he wanted to be friends.
"..."
Murong Changtian and the others saw the bloodstains on the ground as well as the miserable outcomes of their clanspeople, for a moment they were so frightened that they dared not speak a word, thinking Ye Chen was a murderous maniac.
However, Ye Chen's address of "beautiful" exposed all of his true nature, which unsettled everyone's minds, almost making them vomit blood.
"You, you're Ye Chen?" He Bingyun looked at Ye Chen somewhat timidly.
"You know my name?" Ye Chen looked surprised. "Beauty, could it be that you like me and that's why you've been investigating me? Are you secretly in love with me?"
He Bingyun was frozen in place, completely out of sorts.
What did she say? Why would Ye Chen think she was secretly in love with him?
He Bingyun had only asked for his name, and this guy was framing her, accusing her of being in love with him. With so many people around, how could she ever get married after Ye Chen made such a declaration?
Shameless, utterly shameless! He Bingyun looked at Ye Chen, despising him in her heart a thousand times over.
"Crack!"
"Ah!"
He Bingyun saw a figure flash before her eyes, heard a crisp sound, and then Lin Wantao screamed in agony as Ye Chen broke his leg with a kick.
"Didn't I say to stay put? Why did you try to run?" Ye Chen asked Lin Wantao, puzzled. "I wasn't going to kill you, at most beat you up a bit. You sneakily attempted to flee, forcing me to break your leg. Was it really necessary?"
Lin Wantao didn't speak; he was inhaling sharply, holding his thigh, enduring the pain of broken bones.
"When I'm talking to a beauty, if any of you dares to run, I'll beat you up!" Ye Chen lifted his foot and gave Lin Wantao another kick. "Just like him."
Murong Changtian and the others shuddered inwardly, their fear intensifying. This guy was definitely a demon, too skilled at tormenting people.
"Ye Chen." At that moment, a figure flashed into view; Yun Zheyue had arrived.
"Are you finished?" asked Ye Chen.
"Your suggestion didn't work. The battle was fierce, but I did not break through!" Yun Zheyue said.
"It was just a suggestion, if you can't break through, I can't help it," Ye Chen shrugged, indicating helplessness.
Yun Zheyue was demonstrating her power against the ancient clans to deter them, to prevent them from overstepping boundaries.
However, she was also partly swayed by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had a feud with the ancient clans, and facing such a colossus, he naturally needed to gather allies, so he hoodwinked Yun Zheyue.
Yun Zheyue's cultivation was becoming increasingly terrifying, but she was unable to achieve Transcendence, perhaps due to a problem with her state of mind or a missing opportunity.
Thus, Ye Chen seized this point, and after a flurry of convincing words, he encouraged Yun Zheyue to engage in combat with the people from the ancient clans to see if battle could induce a breakthrough... and so, Ye Chen gained a powerful ally.
"Is the fight over? Did anyone die?" Ye Chen asked.
Ye Chen had killed ten family heads from powerful families but didn't kill anyone from the ancient clans. The person who got the worst beating only faced full-body comminuted fractures, without any life-threatening danger, at most would just end up a vegetable.
"No," Yun Zheyue said.
She knew why Ye Chen was asking this; the ancient clans had an endless heritage, with countless strong individuals among them. Killing someone from the ancient clans would have been a direct challenge to their dignity.
Although Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue were formidable, they were not yet strong enough to contend with the ancient clans.
So, Ye Chen didn't kill anyone from the ancient clans, and Yun Zheyue didn't kill a single one of them either.
Neither wanted to risk their lives needlessly.
Just as Yun Zheyue had arrived, a group of powerful battle immortals had come pursuing her. They were clad in murderous aura, their eyes almost bursting into flames as they looked at Yun Zheyue.
"Dragon Head, you are seeking your own death!" one of the strongest battle immortals said. "No one dares to provoke the ancient clans, otherwise they face the merciless suppression. We might not be your match, but our clan has the Great Venerable of the Other Shore. If you dare to provoke us, you're as good as dead!"
Yun Zheyue hadn't killed anyone, but she did beat them up.
The reason they were so angry was that they had been beaten so brutally.
