Chapter 996: No Escape
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The middle-aged man clearly did not expect the mysterious masked youth to speak in such a tone.
He had followed Han Yun into the Blood Spirit Secret Realm many times, but this was the first time he had heard someone really talk about Han Yun like that.
Everyone tried their best to curry favor with Han Yun. Every time Han Yun appeared, the genius disciples of the Kunlun Mountains would give him spiritual treasures and praise him.
However, this was the first time someone had openly disregarded him like this.
“You don’t know me?” the middle-aged man asked with interest.
Before Ye Chen could say anything, Ye Luo puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips. “Why would Mr. Ye want to know you?”
“Mr. Ye?”
The middle-aged man frowned. He also knew some of the geniuses, but there were very few with the surname Ye.
When he released his spiritual sense earlier, he knew that many people of the present did not seem to be very friendly to this masked youth.
Could he really be a rogue cultivator?
One had to know that in the past few days, there had indeed been rogue cultivators who had come here because of Han Yun’s fame, but the final result was the same.
They would either be mercilessly humiliated or die here. This was how cruel the martial arts world was.
If one’s strength was insufficient, challenging authority openly would only lead to death.
However, it was impossible for him to crush a rogue cultivator. That would be too degrading to his status. Thus, the middle-aged man glanced at Ye Chen, then reached out and pointed at the heavily injured Hou Yong.
“Kid, you shouldn’t go too far. Wipe the blood off the door and apologize to the injured person. If you do that, I can pretend this never happened.”
Hou Yong opened his eyes in a daze. He naturally heard the middle-aged man speaking up for him, and his eyes lit up with joy. Although his injuries were severe and he was in a sorry state, with the middle-aged man around, his safety was guaranteed.
It was impossible for the Ye s.h.i.tian to kill him now!
He ignored the piercing pain coursing through his body and stood up with difficulty. He said to the middle-aged man, “Thank you for helping me, Senior! I am extremely grateful!”
The middle-aged man completely ignored him, which made Hou Yong somewhat embarra.s.sed. He was unsure how to react.
In the end, he glared at Ye Chen furiously. “Little b*stard, you’re just a mere rogue cultivator. Even though you’re very strong, you dare to disrespect Senior! Do you know where this senior hails from? He’s an existence you can never afford to offend.”
Ye Chen glanced at Hou Yong. He could see the killing intent in the latter’s eyes. No matter what, he had to clean up this piece of trash today.
It was good practice to nip all threats in the bud.
He took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Luo. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man. “Are you trying to protect him?” he asked.
The middle-aged man nodded. “I don’t care if you’re a rogue cultivator or a cultivator from a top sect. Once you’re in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, you must abide by the rules. No one is allowed to disturb Senior Han’s residence.”
“You should be glad that Senior Han is currently in seclusion. Had this occurred at any other time, you and everyone here would have already become cold corpses.”
“While I’m here today, I won’t allow you to kill anyone!”
“Ye s.h.i.tian!” Hou Yong laughed coldly as if he had everything under control. “I know that you are very strong in the Kunlun Mountains, but do you really think that you are qualified to act as you please here?”
“I advise you…”
Before Hou Yong could finish, Ye Chen’s voice exploded like thunder!
“Noisy!”
“Anyone I want to kill shall die!”
The middle-aged man, Hou Yong, and everyone else’s expressions changed drastically. This kid still wanted to kill!
The middle-aged man also noticed Ye Chen’s raised hand. He narrowed his eyes and a sword appeared in his hand. It gleamed coldly as he swung it toward Ye Chen!
“Brat, how dare you disobey me!”
The middle-aged man was completely enraged. He had not wanted to attack Ye Chen, but this kid had challenged his bottom line again and again!
No matter what, he had to protect Hou Yong today.
Naturally, Ye Chen could sense the approaching attack. His eyes narrowed as he grabbed the Nine Nether Sky Spear and stabbed it toward the sword.
Ding!
The two weapons collided, creating intense sparks.
The middle-aged man could sense the boundless demonic energy devouring his sword, and his expression changed drastically!
“A demon!” he exclaimed.
“You’re actually from the demon race!”
The middle-aged man immediately stopped underestimating Ye Chen. He spun the spiritual sword in his hand and a blood-red light surrounded the sword. It was like a bolt of lightning that tore through the night as he swung it toward Ye Chen’s head.
In his eyes, no member of the demon race could be left alive, or there would be endless trouble!
Seeing this, Hou Yong’s eyes were filled with excitement. He could not wait for Ye s.h.i.tian to die!
Ye Luo could tell that this middle-aged man was extremely strong, and she cried out in alarm, “Mr. Ye, be careful!”
Ye Chen nodded. Then, the Nine Nether Sky Spear twisted and coiled around the middle-aged man’s sword like a spirit snake!
The powerful sword energy clashed against the demonic energy of the Nine Nether Sky Spear…
It was a stalemate!
It was only then that the middle-aged man realized how strange the Nine Nether Sky Spear was.
“What kind of weapon is this? It can actually transform at will?! Could it be from ancient times?”
Before he could finish speaking, a silver needle appeared in Ye Chen’s other empty hand.
“You should stop staring at my weapon, and watch me kill the person you want to protect!”
“No one I want to kill has ever survived unscathed!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen hurled the silver needle in Hou Yong’s direction.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, and his Daoyuan realm cultivation erupted.
He wanted to use his spiritual energy to block the silver needle, but soon realized that instead of blocking it, the spiritual energy was absorbed by it instead!
The silver needle expanded and turned into a long spear that tore through the sky, and appeared in front of Hou Yong!
The powerful force even forced the middle-aged man back a few steps, and his expression became even more ferocious.
“The Dao of Medicine! This kid is actually proficient in the Dao of Medicine!”
Hou Yong’s expression was one of horror.
He was already seriously injured, so it was impossible for him to dodge this attack. He could only watch as the Grim Reaper appeared before him in the shape of a spear…
Puchi!
The spear pierced his forehead, and his head exploded!
