With that, An Sushan walked toward Ye Chen and said, âLittle Brother, Iâm An Sushan from Huiâan Province. Since my daughter and your friend have pleaded your case, I promise you that as long as you give me the treasure, I will escort you out of Huiâan Province safely!â
Although he was dignified, the fiery desire in his eyes betrayed him!
Every ancient martial arts practitioner would covet this treasure!
Ye Chen, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, glanced at An Sushan, and then at the embarrassed Zhu Ya and An Ruoying. He shook his head and said calmly, âOn account of my friend, if you leave now, I can guarantee your safety.â
An Sushan was not the only one stunned. Everyone else was as well. Some even pinched their cheeks to see if they were dreaming.
This kid was already in a situation where he was going to die, yet he was actually indirectly threatening An Sushan?
The An family was a major martial arts family in Huiâan Province!
Had he gone bonkers?
âHaha, Old An, it seems that he doesnât appreciate your offer,â a man in a Daoist robe laughed. He looked at Ye Chen and said, âBrat, it seems like you still donât understand your situation. Youâre alone, and we have representatives of the eight major families and the twenty-one forces of Huiâan Province here.â
âAlso, Huaxiaâs Martial Arts Department is here too.â
The old man in a long robe stood out.
When the man in the Daoist robe heard the words, âHuaxiaâs Martial Arts Department,â his expression turned ugly. These guys were also involved?
Was this treasure going to be confiscated by Huaxia?
Countless gazes that were filled with hostility turned toward the old man.
The long-robed old man naturally realized what they were thinking and said indifferently, âDonât worry, everyone. Weâre here for this kidâs life. He has killed many of our people, and is guilty of heinous crimes! Had it not been for someone from Jiangnan Province protecting him, he would have died long ago!â
Hearing this, the various experts present could not help but gasp!
There was actually someone who dared to kill people from Huaxiaâs Martial Arts Department?
Was he crazy?
All of a sudden, the expressions of the experts from Huiâan Province changed when they looked at Ye Chen.
In the distance, An Ruoying and Zhu Ya felt a chill run down their spines.
An Ruoying grabbed Zhu Yaâs hand tightly. Her palms were covered in sweat as she said, âItâs over. Itâs really over this time. Mr. Ye has offended everyone here, and now even the Martial Arts Department is getting involved. 1 donât think he will be able to leave Thousand Peaks Mountain alive today.â
âIf he refuses to hand over that thing, heâs doomed! Little Ya, you really should go and persuade him, or else heâŠâ
Her heart was burning with anxiety. After all, Ye Chen had saved her when they were on the mountain stairway just now, so she did not want anything to happen to him.
Zhu Ya clenched her fists and looked at Ye Chen without saying a word.
She knew Ye Chen well and knew how he did things. Since he refused to hand over that thing, he must have his reasons.
At this moment, she could only choose to believe in him.
An Sushanâs face was livid with anger as he said, âIn that case, I take back my words! 1 want to see how youâre going to survive to see tomorrow!â
âEveryone, this kid has nothing to do with my An family. There is only one treasure, so Iâll be upfront here. Whoever comes into contact with that treasure first will own it. This will avoid straining the relationship between our factions.â
Everyone cheered when they heard this!
An Sushan had a lot of influence in Huiâan Province, so no one would refute his words, especially since they were reasonable. Now, it all depended on their own abilities as to whether they could get the treasure.
âSince thatâs the case, weâll be the first ones to strike!â
Two figures instantly leapt out from the crowd and dashed toward Ye Chen. These were experts from the Li family, and they had launched a sneak attack without hesitation.
How shameless!
Even the experts present felt that they had gone overboard.
Ye Chen looked at the two figures calmly. It seemed that if he wanted to leave with the treasure today, he had to deal with these peopleâŠ
Kill!
One of the Li familyâs experts sneered as they approached him, âBrat, draw your weapon so that others wonât say weâre bullying you.â
Ye Chen took a step forward and faced the two of them.
âYou two are not qualified to make me draw my weapon!â
As he spoke, he turned his body and dodged one of their attacks. At the same time, he threw a true qi-infused punch at the other personâs leg. Although this punch was not imbued with the power of the blood dragon, it still contained immense power.
Bang!
âHow is this possible?â
The expression of the Li family expert who had kicked Ye Chen froze, and his expression immediately twisted and contorted in pain.
It felt as if his right leg was being torn apart!
âDie!â
Moments later, Ye Chenâs fist slammed into his body before he could recover.
Kacha!
Everyone heard the sounds of bones shattering, as well a heart-wrenching scream.
âArgh!â
That person was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground, forever dead to the world.
The remaining expert was stunned by this, but before he could react, Ye Chen appeared in front of him, a hand infused with true qi grabbed his weapon and swung it fiercelyâŠ
Rip!
The manâs head fell to the ground, and his blood stained the ground.
After doing this, Ye Chen took a step forward and swept his cold gaze across the crowd.
âWhoever dares to take a step forward will end up just like them!â
