Chapter 704: Kill Whoever Stops Us Today!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For this exchange, the five ancient families, led by the Xiao family, had a beautiful thought.

They had planned to win the netherworld tokens from Luo Shuiyao and Ye Chen, but they did not expect that they would end up worse off. The Du and Lin families lost two netherworld tokens in a row.

On the other hand, Ye Chen’s battle prowess had slapped their faces over and over again!

At that moment, Du family’s Du Zong, the Lin family’s Lin Fulong, the Duan family’s Duan Tianlang, and the rest were filled with killing intent toward Ye Chen.

However, they did not dare to attack!

The reason being the Bai and Xiao families had yet to speak!

The other three ancient families were usually led by the Bai and Xiao families!

It was for no other reason than the fact that Bai Shaoyu and Xiao Yuanjing were ranked No.2 and No.3 on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard respectively.

However, compared to the fury of Du Zong and the rest, Bai Shaoyu and Xiao Yuanjing appeared calm, as if they did not see what was happening.

Bai Shaoyu carefully examined his slender fingers before looking up at Xiao Yuanjing beside him, “Yuanjing, what do you think?”

Xiao Yuanjing remained calm throughout. He lifted his head and looked at Ye Chen carefully, “Mad Southern Ye, I must say that you’ve surprised us. A mere mortal can kill geniuses from Shang Santian consecutively.”

At that moment, even he started to take Ye Chen seriously. He thought that Ye Chen was just an ant before this!

Unexpectedly, he had killed two mid-level martial venerables in succession!

Before Ye Chen could speak, he squinted and looked down at Ye Chen from above, “Why don’t we make a deal? You’ll hand the netherworld token to us and cripple your cultivation base. We won’t pursue the fact that you killed the members of the five ancient families anymore. What do you think?”

“Young Master Xiao!”

Du Zong, Lin Fulong, Duan Tianlang, and the rest looked at him in disbelief. Clearly, they did not expect Xiao Yuanjing to let Ye Chen off so easily.

“Shut up!”

Xiao Yuanjing’s expression turned cold.

Du Zong and the rest felt a chill inside of them. They did not dare to speak anymore. However, their gazes were filled with intense coldness as they looked at Ye Chen.

Luo Shuiyao’s expression changed slightly when she heard Xiao Yuanjing’s overbearing words. Just as she was about to speak…

Xiao Yuanjing looked at him with a pair of cold eyes, “Luo Shuiyao, if you dare to say another word, do you believe that I’ll kill you right now? Don’t bring up Luo Tianya either, he’s not here. Even if he is, I have nothing to fear!”

Meeting his gaze, Luo Shuiyao’s heart trembled.

Only now did she remember that the person sitting in front of her was the person who ranked No.2 on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard. He was a terrifying existence that even her genius brother had praised!

She was already like this, let alone Tong Shuhui and the rest!

Only Xiang Heng sneered secretly. He looked at Ye Chen as if he was looking at a dead person, ‘Brat, so what if you killed two intermediate-level martial venerables consecutively? So what if you’re more powerful than me? No one here can protect you if you offend Xiao Yuanjing!’

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Ye Chen again, “Have you considered it?”

Ye Chen’s expression did not change under everyone’s gaze. He looked at him without backing down and smiled lightly, “Who do you think you are? How dare you make me cripple my cultivation base and hand over the netherworld tokens?”

Following his words, the entire hall fell into dead silence!

Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief!

Ye Chen rejected Xiao Yuanjing!

Not only did he reject him, he even questioned him in public!

That was the terrifying man ranked No.2 on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard!

‘He’s dead, this brat is dead!’

Xiang Heng was so excited that he nearly screamed!

He was not the only one. Even Lin Fulong and the rest who were furious were now overjoyed. They initially thought that Ye Chen would agree out of the fear he had for Xiao Yuanjing. Never did they expect that this guy would overestimate himself and reject him!

Luo Shuiyao looked at Ye Chen in panic, “Ye Chen…”

Although she did not want Ye Chen to say yes Xiao Yuanjing, she did not expect Ye Chen to reject him so easily!

Xiang Heng smirked coldly and said, “Yaoyao, why are you trying to help a dead person? He’s courting death, and he can’t blame us!”

“Great, that’s just great!”

Xiao Yuanjing’s gentle face turned grim after hearing what Ye Chen said, “You’re the first person who dared to reject me. That’s great!”

He slowly turned around.

At the same time, an emotionless voice sounded.

“Do it!

Kill whoever stops us today!”

Following his words, Lin Fulong and the rest were overjoyed!

They were waiting for Xiao Yuanjing’s order!

Du Zong, who was among the crowd, walked slowly towards Ye Chen. A bloodthirsty grin appeared at the corner of his lips, “Brat, you didn’t expect this day to come, did you?”

Seeing Du Zong coming over with killing intent, Tong Shuhui looked at Xiang Nan, Liu Yunfeng, and the rest. All three of them shook their heads and pulled Luo Shuiyao to the side.

Xiao Yuanjing was really not someone they could handle.

“What a pity!”

Tong Shuhui glanced at Ye Chen with a complicated expression and thought to herself, ‘You’re quite talented. If you’ve been cultivating silently for a few decades, you might’ve succeeded in Shang Santian in the future. Unfortunately, you’re too arrogant. I can’t help you now.’

Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng shook their heads.

In fact, from the moment Ye Chen killed two intermediate-level martial venerables, the two of them no longer had any enmity towards Ye Chen. Instead, they had more respect for him.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen offended Xiao Yuanjing.

Du Zong said as he walked, “From the moment you killed my family’s Du Ming, the outcome today has already been decided. Don’t even think about resisting, because in my eyes, you’re no different from an ant.”

Just when he was about to approach Ye Chen, a beautiful figure suddenly stood before Ye Chen and glared at Du Zong with determination, “Du Zong, I won’t allow you to kill Ye Chen!”

Who else could it be but Luo Shuiyao!

“Yaoyao, get here!”

Tong Shuhui was stunned.

They did not expect Luo Shuiyao to stand up for Ye Chen after Xiao Yuanjing threatened her!

However, Luo Shuiyao was still protecting Ye Chen wholeheartedly!

“Luo Shuiyao, don’t be shameless!”

Du Zong’s expression was extremely grim, “You’re so protective of this brat, could he be your lover?”

Luo Shuiyao had never suffered such humiliation before, and her beautiful face was livid, “You…”

Hearing the word ‘lover’, Ye Chen’s expression turned cold. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Du Zong, “Ms. Luo, get out of my way. This trash can’t kill me!”

The friendship between him and Luo Shuiyao was pure!

Furthermore, Luo Shuiyao had risked everyone’s fury to protect him under such circumstances. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched!

“Ye Chen, don’t speak!”

Luo Shuiyao coldly stared at Du Zong, “I will protect you today. I don’t believe he will dare to kill me!”

“Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me. Don’t think that your big brother Luo Tianya can cover the entire Shang Santian with one hand!”

An extremely cold killing intent flashed across Du Zong’s eyes. With a palm strike, a fierce palm wind tore through the air towards Luo Shuiyao.

He was forced to kneel back then because of Luo Shuiyao!

It had always been his greatest humiliation!

Luo Shuiyao subconsciously closed her eyes.

Ye Chen scoffed. Just when he was about to pull her behind him, a loud roar suddenly exploded out of nowhere.

“Who dares to hurt my sister?!”
