At this moment, everyone was staring at the coffin.
Blood kept spurting out of the coffin, so they knew that Tang Ao was inside.
Who would have thought that a grandmaster of that level would actually be defeated? Furthermore, he had lost to a young man who was only in his twenties!
What kind of monster was this Hunter?
Zhu Ya could no longer remain calm. Her gaze swept across the corpses, and finally fixed itself on the coffin. This kid had really done it!
He had eliminated five of Jiangnan Provinceâs strongest grandmasters by himself
Back then, when Bai Libing told her about Ye Chen, she had not paid much attention to it. After ail, what could a kid from a declining family really accomplish?
If Bai Libing had not repeatedly reminded her not to get on Ye Chenâs bad side, she would not have invited Ye Chen for coffee and chit-chat. When they conversed, she realized that he was cold and arrogant.
However, she now realized that he had the strength to back up that arrogance!
In Jiangnan Province, which expert could withstand Ye Chenâs sword strike and final palm attack?
No one!
âMiss, this Ye ChenâŚâ Zhu Wentian suddenly spoke. Zhu Ya finally came back to her senses. Staring at Ye Chenâs figure, she made her decision.
âFrom now on, the Zhu family will supply this person with resources at all costs!
âWhen we return later, take out the material for the Xuan Shattering Sword from the secret chamber. Since Ye Chen needs it, weâll give it to him without conditions!â
When Zhu Wentian heard that, his expression turned ugly.
âYoung Miss, the material for the Xuan Shattering Sword isâŚâ
She interrupted him, âYe Chenâs value is higher than the sword, and even our ancestor who forged the sword!â
Zhu Wentianâs expression turned strange, but he did not say anything else.
At that moment, Ye Chen walked over to the coffin. He placed his hands behind his back and looked down at Tang Ao, who was lying in the coffin.
âLooks like I picked the right size for you.â
There was a hint of coldness in his gaze.
Although Tang Ao was furious, he was now no different from a crippled person.
âI have no enmity with you. Why did you kill my son and destroy everything I had?â
Ye Chenâs eyes narrowed.
âI killed Yuan Jingfu in the martial arts arena. You sent people after me, remember? Iâll kill anyone who threatens me. As for your sonâs death, itâs just because 1 canât stand what he did. Have you forgotten what happened three years ago?â
âHell was calling for your sonâs life, so 1 delivered it to them!â
âOh right, before you die, let me tell you another secret. Ma Wei Qi is actually on my side!â
Hearing this, Tang Ao spat out another mouthful of blood. He had been dancing in the palm of Ye Chenâs hand all along!
However, Ma Wei Qi had always been loyal, why would he betray him?
âLooks like youâre not very comfortable lying down. Iâll help you.â
Ye Chen slapped the coffin with one hand, and the coffin stood upright, with Tang Aoâs crippled body facing everyone.
Today, half of the martial arts world in Jiangnan Province were present, so he did this to establish his might.
Then, Ye Chen took a step forward, and a dagger appeared in his hand.
âI said 1 would let you die last. Take your last look at the world!â
He placed the knife on Tang Aoâs neck.
Just as he was about to make a moveâŚ
Bang!
The door was blasted open, and a violent aura swept over!
More than ten men in special clothes rushed in!
âStop!â
A thunderous voice rang out.
The leader of the group was a sage-like old man.
Ye Chen frowned.
Tang Aoâs reaction was completely different. He looked happy and quickly shouted, âMaster! Save me!â
When the old man saw Tang Ao in the coffin, his expression changed. He quickly shouted at Ye Chen, âBrat, put down the dagger! The Martial Arts Department has the responsibility of dealing with all disputes in Huaxiaâs martial arts world! Violators will be punished with death!â
Ye Chenâs eyes were indifferent. He did not put down the dagger, and simply asked, âMartial Arts Department? Whatâs that?â
The old man did not expect Ye Chen to have such an attitude. He rebuked T=Ye Chen angrily, âKid, are you trying to challenge the Martial Arts Department?â
Zhu Ya quickly stepped forward and said to Ye Chen, âYe Chen, put down your dagger. The Martial Arts Department holds the highest authority in Huaxiaâs martial arts world. Theyâre responsible for dealing with crimes, meting out punishments, and managing the records of all of the martial arts experts in Huaxia.â
âThe Martial Arts Department is similar to the Dragon Soul, a special organization in Huaxia. Although their responsibilities sometimes overlap, if it involves people and conflicts in the martial arts world, the Martial Arts Department has the final say in dealing with it, and no one can interfere!â
The old man nodded at the girl and then looked at Ye Chen coldly.
âDo you understand now? 1 know you have a dispute with Tang Ao. We will report it to the higher-ups and deal with it impartially.â
Tang Ao revealed a sinister smile.
âYe Chen, you didnât expect me to have this trick up my sleeve, did you?â
âOh?â
Ye Chenâs face was expressionless.
The old man did not have much patience and repeated, âFor the last time, put down the dagger! Otherwise, weâll attack!â
âAlright then.â
Ye Chen nodded. Moments later, he gathered his true qi, and without hesitationâŚ
Swish!
The dagger flew and embedded itself into a wall.
However, at the same timeâŚ
Plop!
Tang Aoâs head fell to the ground!
Ye Chenâs lips curled into a cold smile.
Let Tang Ao go?
That was impossible!
At this moment, the entire banquet hall was deathly silent, and everyone stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen.
Lunatic!
This person was a complete lunatic!
He even disregarded Huaxiaâs Martial Arts Department!
Did this guy want to make enemies out of everyone?
Ye Chen smiled as he said calmly, âIâm really sorry, my hand slipped..â
