Chapter 825: Do You Know Why I Won’t Kill You?!
The Second High Priest of the Celestial Master Hall nodded his head heavily and suddenly formed a seal with his hands. Immediately after, his aura soared and his face aged rapidly.
The Duan family’s martial emperor was almost identical to him.
“Burning your vitality?!
“It’s just a dying struggle!”
Ye Chen had a cold expression on his face. After scoffing coldly, he swung the Master Destruction Saber in his hand and slashed again, “Slas.h.!.+”
If one took a closer look, they would realize that he had slashed out ten times, 20 times, and finally 40 times.
When he slashed out 20 times, the Duan family’s martial emperor was sliced into two before he could even react.
“Let’s die together!”
At the same time, the Second High Priest of the Celestial Master Hall finally charged over. His arm had already been cut off from his shoulder, and an extremely terrifying saber wound appeared on his face.
At that moment, he no longer held any hope of survival. He madly urged the true origin in his body to pounce at Ye Chen like a human-shaped time bomb. He was getting closer and closer to the explosion.
“You’re trying to self-destruct?”
Ye Chen’s expression remained the same. He pointed, and a golden cyclone shot out from his fingertip all of a sudden. The golden cyclone pierced through the opponent’s sea of vital energy directly.
Psh…
As the sound of deflating balloons was heard, the Second High Priest’s aura became weaker and weaker. In the end, he fell to the ground with a thud and was less than a step away from Ye Chen.
“Do you know why I won’t kill you?”
Ye Chen looked down at him from above with an extremely cold gaze, “Because you’re more detestable than them. It’d be too easy for you if I just kill you. I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
With that, he stomped down, turning the opponent’s limbs into meat paste on the spot. He screamed like a crab without claws.
“Kill me, kill me!”
The Second High Priest of the Celestial Master Hall convulsed as he shouted, “Shang Santian will not let you off! We will not let you off!”
In the courtyard outside the Murong family’s main hall, countless figures were standing there in a daze. The leaders were Murong Xue and Yao Bingyue.
“Kill me, kill me!”
The screams coming from the hall were like a death song, merciless and cruel, shattering all the confidence inside of them.
Dead!
Four out of the five pseudo emperors died, and one was crippled!
They were their trump cards!
However, they were so vulnerable before Ye Chen!
Plop!
Yao Huayuan fell heavily to the ground, his body paralyzed as he said with a face full of despair, “It’s over, it’s completely over!”
Murong Xue and Yao Bingyue shuddered. They were shocked, but they were soon overwhelmed by fear.
“Run, let’s run!”
Yao Bingyue shuddered. She helped Yao Huayuan up and wanted to run outside. The rest too snapped back to their senses and followed suit.
However, to their despair, outside the Murong family’s villa, there were dozens of terrifying figures.
“This road is blocked!”
The leader, Han Qinhu, said coldly. If one took a closer look, they would realize that he was looking at Yao Bingyue and the rest with ridicule.
‘If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have acted in the first place!’
At the next moment, Ye Chen walked out slowly with the Second High Priest of the Celestial Master Hall in one hand. His cold gaze landed on everyone like a saber gleam.
Plop!
Plop!
“…”
The remaining Murong family members knelt on the ground without saying anything and kowtowed to Ye Chen with all their might.
“Mr. Ye, spare me! Spare me!”
“No, don’t kill me. None of this has anything to do with us. Murong Xue was the one who ordered us!”
“…”
All sorts of crying, begging, and screaming filled the air, as if they had fallen into h.e.l.l.
Even Yao Bingyue could not take it anymore. She kneeled before Ye Chen and cried, “M-Master, p-please spare me!”
Ye Chen did not speak. Instead, he looked at Murong Xue who was still standing slowly and scoffed, “Do you have any more trump cards?”
Murong Xue’s body shuddered violently. Her face was as pale as a sheet as she knelt down heavily, “I only want a quick death!”
Under Ye Chen’s gaze, she really wanted to maintain the dignity of a loser. However, she chose to yield in the end.
The incomparably old Yao Huayuan said while trembling, “Mr. Ye, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Don’t kill Bingyue. I was the one who orchestrated all of this!”
Ye Chen smiled in disdain and walked past them. When he reached Han Qinhu and the rest, an emotionless voice sounded, “We’ve killed the chief evildoer. As for the rest… those with cultivation base will all be crippled. Those without cultivation base are to be chased out and left to fend for themselves. Then, we’ll seal the Murong family!”
In the end, Ye Chen could not bring himself to kill everyone. After all, many of them were innocent. He could only blame them for being from the Murong family.
Han Qinhu nodded to show that he understood. He then started carrying out Ye Chen’s orders expressionlessly. Meanwhile, Murong Xue and the rest closed their eyes in despair.
…
Half an hour later, in the Murong residence, Huo Yushan bowed to Ye Chen gratefully, “Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Ye!”
Even Huo Sisi, who was next to him, was grateful. Ever since Murong Xue took over, they were thrown into prison because of Yu Shasha. It was impossible for them to not worry about the future. Fortunately, Ye Chen had saved them.
When they found out that Ye Chen had killed five pseudo emperors earlier, the father and daughter were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.
Ye Chen lifted his hand gently and said with a faint smile, “What are your plans now?”
Huo Sisi rushed to say, “This world is too chaotic. My father and I plan to return to the countryside to do farming and live a normal life…”
Before she could finish, Huo Yushan tugged the corner of her s.h.i.+rt and turned to Ye Chen with cupped fists, “As long as Mr. Ye doesn’t mind that I’m weak, I’m willing to follow you!”
How could he not understand what Ye Chen meant?
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said while smiling, “You’ve all seen the current situation in China. Although I’ve killed all the powerhouses from Shang Santian, I can’t guarantee that there won’t be any survivors. Therefore, I plan to build a force. If you guys don’t mind, you can join!”
Huo Sisi hurriedly said, “No, we don’t!”
Ye Chen was stunned. He then looked at her with a forced smile, “Didn’t you say that you’re going back to the countryside to farm?”
Huo Sisi blushed and stuck out her tongue playfully, “Farming isn’t as good as b.u.t.tering up Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen chuckled upon hearing that.
…
At the same time, as the Murong family’s incident came to an end, news about Ye Chen’s achievements spread.
Mad Southern Ye and Ganzhou fought the five pseudo emperors and killed four of them domineeringly while crippling one of them. In the end, they retreated calmly!
The entire country and the entire world were in an uproar. Countless countries and forces were shaken!
