Chapter 119: Killed Without Pardon!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone from the Second-Prince’s Palace hurriedly retreated in fear. This guy was almost like a god of death! He was an extremely strong Tenth Level powerhouse. Who would dare to come forward and ward him off? That would certainly be a suicide mission!

For these people, a Tenth Level combatant could be considered as a god-like being. No matter how many people they had on their side, they would not be able to fend off a massacre by a Tenth Level combatant.

Ye Chen did not stop in his tracks after performing Kunlun Sundering the Mountains but proceeded to utilize the reactive force from Kunlun Sundering the Mountains to launch himself off the ground like a bullet and fly toward one of the Ye Castle’s walls.

Liu Xun and Liu Kan heard a loud noise coming from outside and became a little surprised and hesitant.

“Xu Zhong, keep an eye on these House of Ye hostages. If the situation becomes desperate, you can make a decision based on your judgment!” Liu Xun glanced at a burly guard beside him with a gleam in his eyes.

“Understood, Young Master,” Xu Zhong replied firmly. As the second strongest combatant of the Second-Prince’s Palace, Xu Zhong was even more capable than Mentor Qin. Moreover, he was Liu Xun’s most loyal subordinate, so of course, he understood what Liu Xun meant when the Second-rank Prince ordered him to make a decision based on his judgment. Thus, he complied at once.

Liu Xun and Liu Kan leaped onto the top of the Ye Castle’s wall and noticed a silhouette charging rapidly toward the top of the castle wall. Upon closer look, they saw that it was Ye Chen!

Did this young fellow not die in the Sunken Jade Tower? It seemed like his capabilities had improved immensely compared to before!

Ye Chen was still rushing toward the top of the castle wall when he raised his head and saw Liu Xun and Liu Kan leaping onto the wall. Both parties became furious when their eyes met.

‘Liu Xun! Liu Kan!’ Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

“It’s you. You’re not dead yet!” Liu Kan scoffed coldly. Although Ye Chen was still alive, this young fellow could not have achieved the Tenth Level within such a short period. Therefore, killing Ye Chen should still be a piece of cake for Liu Kan!

Liu Kan sighed in relief after making sure that no one else had come along with Ye Chen. Initially, they thought that some unbelievably strong powerhouse had shown up, so they had been rather afraid. However, the person turned out to be just a harmless kid. This young fellow could never reverse the situation on his own anyway!

As Liu Kan recalled the capabilities Ye Chen had shown in the Sunken Jade Tower, he decided not to hold back and launched a Ceaseless Death Palm right away.

A cold and lethal bout of energy surged out of Liu Kan’s palm like a stream of bone-chilling cold air.

This was a lower Tier Six martial arts technique that had taken him ten years to cultivate. It was an Ice elemental technique. The moment a person was struck by the Ceaseless Death Palm, a stream of cold energy would surge into the person’s body and damage their meridian channels. During his time in Capital City, Liu Kan had depended on his Ceaseless Death Palm to defeat almost all other fighters of the same level.

Liu Kan had relied on his military exploits to acquire this martial arts technique from the imperial family’s treasury, after which he spent five years studying and modifying the technique with the help of some experts to merge it with the cultivation system he had been practicing.

“Take this, you brat!” Liu Kan was one step ahead of Liu Xun and launched his attack on Ye Chen first.

Liu Kan’s palm was about to hit Ye Chen when he saw a cold gleam flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes. It looked as piercing and menacing as a sharp sword. Instantly, a sense of restlessness and fear rose in Liu Kan’s heart. What a strong murderous intent!

Before Liu Kan could react, Ye Chen let out a furious cry. Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun!

Ye Chen had been accumulating his Celestial Chi for this attack. At that moment, his Celestial Chi surged out of his body all at once like a tsunami while he felt his body burning like a ball of flame.

Ye Chen had only one thought in his mind at that moment – ‘Kill Liu Kan!’ Although it required a large amount of Celestial Chi to perform Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun, Ye Chen did not hold back the slightest since Little Tanuki was by his side.

The bone-chilling cold energy from the Ceaseless Death Palm instantly vanished without a trace as it collided into this towering ball of flame.

“What happened? What martial arts technique is this?” Liu Kan had never seen such a powerful martial arts technique before. The most brutal martial arts technique to be found in the imperial family’s treasury of the Xiwu Empire was merely a lower Tier Six technique. The Ceaseless Death Palm was on a completely different tier compared to this Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun technique.

How could a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old brat master such an astounding martial arts technique?

When Liu Kan felt the raging fiery force of Ye Chen’s Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun coming at him directly, he panicked and tried to dodge the attack but his movements were too slow.

Indeed, Ye Chen would never allow Liu Kan to escape that easily. As his palm energy struck Liu Kan’s chest, Liu Kan’s Pure Yang Chi Construct immediately fell apart. Thus, the mighty fiery force instantly penetrated through his body and flowed out from his back. Truly, Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun could destroy the vital functions of the human body in an instant.

“You… You’re already at mid-Tenth Level?” Liu Kan looked stunned, terrified, unconvinced, and furious all at once as a mixture of emotions flitted across his face. Then, his expression turned gloomy while his eyes grew large as though he was still having a difficult time accepting the fact that he had been defeated in one move. Liu Kan was also struggling to believe that Ye Chen had surpassed him in power within such a short amount of time and his body was sent flying away.

Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun was a lethal technique, so Liu Kan was going to die!

Liu Xun was a step behind Liu Kan and had hastily channeled his Celestial Chi to defend himself when he felt a mighty bout of blazing Celestial Chi coming at him. As he looked ahead and saw Liu Kan’s body flying backward toward him, Liu Xun quickly reached out and caught hold of Liu Kan. Instantly, an overpowering force surged into Liu Xun’s body through his hands and caused him to stumble a few steps backward. When he finally managed to steady himself, Liu Xun immediately sensed that Liu Kan’s body had been ruined on the inside as Liu Kan had lost most of his Celestial Chi while his meridian channels had ruptured into pieces.

Liu Kan had been crippled in just one move! As Liu Xun turned his gaze to the young man in front of him, his eyes were filled with deep fear.

How did this brat enhance his capabilities so quickly?

Liu Xun howled indignantly in his heart. Liu Kan was a mid-Tenth Level combatant and yet had been defeated by Ye Chen in one move. Thus, it was all the more impossible for Liu Xun to go up against Ye Chen. It had never occurred to Liu Xun that he would end up failing to complete such a simple task.

After having performed Heavenly King Rupturing the Sun, Ye Chen was left with only ten to twenty percent of Celestial Chi in his body, so he stopped in his tracks and quickly recovered his Celestial Chi while glaring coldly at Liu Xun.

Liu Xun retreated some distance away while holding onto Liu Kan, who was on the brink of death, and then stared at Ye Chen warily with a dark expression. “I never thought I’d be defeated by you but you shouldn’t feel pleased with yourself just yet because I’ve held everyone from the House of Ye hostage! If you dare to take another step forward, I shall wipe out the entire Ye Clan!”

“Are you sure you’re capable of wiping out the entire Ye Clan? You should take a look at what’s going on behind you!” Ye Chen laughed coldly and burst into rage.

“You’re asking me to look behind me? As if I would fall for your tricks.” Liu Xun scoffed scornfully but then suddenly heard the sound of screams and fighting coming from within the Ye Castle behind him. From the corner of his eye, he saw that a few mystical beasts had appeared unexpectedly and had unleashed an overwhelming wave of attacks. The Dark Troopers were forced to retreat. Even Xu Zhong had been struck down and killed by a Raven Hawk.

These were all Tenth Level mystical beasts and there were six of them in total. A hopeless look instantly appeared on Liu Xun’s face. How did Ye Chen manage to find so many Tenth Level mystical beasts? Indeed, these Tenth Level mystical beasts were impressive!

“Ye Chen, there haven’t been any unresolved grudges between us before this. If you’re willing to drop this matter, I can let bygones be bygones and appoint you as a high official of my palace. Then, the House of Ye will be able to enjoy the highest honor and prestige in Donglin County from now on.” Liu Xun’s tone became slightly less forceful when he noticed that the situation had turned against him.

“The highest honor and prestige? The House of Ye has no care for such things!” Ye Chen took a step forward as he had recovered his Celestial Chi to a large extent, which should be more than enough for him to deal with Liu Xun.

“Ye Chen, you can’t kill me!” Liu Xun yelled hysterically as dread filled his heart when he saw Ye Chen moving closer to him.

“Why can’t I kill you? All those who bully and humiliate the House of Ye should be killed without pardon!” Ye Chen huffed with disdain as he continued to walk toward Liu Xun, one step at a time.

Ye Chen’s angry huff was like a hammer pounding violently on Liu Xun’s heart.

“I’ve been conferred the title of Second-rank Prince by Great Emperor Mingwu. Meanwhile, my father, Liu Kan, is the Xiwu Empire’s Minister of War. Ye Chen, is the House of Ye planning to rise in rebellion by killing two important courtiers of the imperial court in one go?” Liu Xun looked almost mad.
