210: The earth trembles, shaking the tank!

Wang Zhenyue remained expressionless, ignoring Chu Niubi's cursing.

Things had reached this point; the Wang Family had no way out.

They either had to use thunderous means to eliminate Ye Chen, reclaim the evidence, and then use all their connections to suppress the matter—even if it meant paying a huge price.

Or the entire family would be destroyed, and their century-old foundation would vanish into smoke!

He chose the former!

Wang Zhenshan looked at Ye Chen's still-calm face, an inexplicable irritability surging in his heart, and he spoke coldly.

“Ye Chen, why have you stopped talking? Are you scared out of your wits?”

Ye Chen finally seemed to snap out of it and said indifferently, “I was thinking about a question.”

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Yuan clutched his chest, a sinister sneer forced onto his face. “Are you thinking about where to be buried since death is imminent? Don't worry, only a handful of ashes will be left of you then!”

Ye Chen glanced at him, his tone carrying a hint of pity.

“I praised you just now, thinking you had some brains. Now it seems you still don't have any.”

“You!!!”

Wang Yuan was stung into a rage by this casual mockery and roared, “Bullshit! Hand over the things immediately, or prepare to be leveled to the ground!”

Ye Chen ignored his shouting and instead stretched.

“Why should I hand them over? The one who loses won't be me!”

As soon as he said this, not only were the Wang Family Members stunned, but even Chu Niubi and Bai Wanqing couldn't help but look at him.

With a tank's muzzle pointed at him and so many experts surrounding him, where did he get the confidence to say he wouldn't be the one to lose?

The Wang Family Members found it even more absurd; many had expressions as if they were looking at a madman.

Wang Zhenyue slowly raised his hand, stopping the commotion behind him.

He stared at Ye Chen, his old eyes flashing as he tried to find even a hint of bluffing on that young face.

However, there was none.

Ye Chen's gaze was too calm.

“Ye Chen.”

Wang Zhenyue couldn't help but speak slowly.

“I admit you are very strong, stronger than anyone expected.”

“But you should be clear that individual martial power is as small as dust before true power.”

“This tank represents not just steel, but an orderly power that you cannot oppose.”

“Hand over the things. I swear by the name of the Wang Family ancestors to let the two behind you leave safely. This is your last chance.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly laughed.

“Old Master Wang, are you even worthy of mentioning order?”

“When your Wang Family colluded with Black Prison and committed those heinous crimes in the Southeast, where was the order?”

“Those compatriots who were tricked and sold by you, only to end up without even a grave—who should they ask for their order?”

He paused, his smile fading.

“Today, let me see...”

“Whether the Wang Family's cannons are harder, or my bones are harder?”

As he spoke.

He ignored everyone and walked toward the crowd step by step.

That posture!

That look!

That scene!

He simply didn't take a tank seriously!

This scene.

Made all the Wang Family Members widen their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

Is this guy... really not afraid of death?

That's a tank!

With one shot, let alone flesh and blood, even a fortress made of reinforced concrete would be blasted into ruins!

“Ye Chen!”

Bai Wanqing couldn't help but rush out a few steps from the villa door and shouted urgently.

“Come back!”

“Old Master Xuanyuan is personally bringing people over!”

“They'll be here in ten minutes at most!”

“Don't be impulsive!”

One person against a tank?

That was simply impossible... even though she knew Ye Chen was very powerful, using a body of flesh and blood to resist cannon fire was far too fantastical!

Chu Niubi also reacted, scrambling down the steps to try and pull Ye Chen back.

“Master! Master, don't let it go to your head!”

“That's a tank! The real deal!”

“There's no need to go head-to-head with that hunk of iron! We can admit defeat first!”

When Wang Zhenyue heard the words "Old Master Xuanyuan," his face suddenly darkened!

Xuanyuan Huo was coming personally?

Then things were not good... it seemed he couldn't wait any longer!

Once Xuanyuan Huo arrived, with that old man's prestige and strength in the Dragon Group, plus the deadly evidence in Ye Chen's hands... the Wang Family would surely perish tonight!

He had to completely deal with Ye Chen, reclaim the evidence, and destroy everything before Xuanyuan Huo arrived!

That way, there would be no testimony against them!

“Fire!!!”

Wang Zhenyue suddenly raised his hand and gave the order directly, “Blast him to death!!!”

As soon as the words left his mouth.

The dark muzzle shook violently, the dull sound of mechanical operation came from within, and the barrel adjusted slightly, locking onto Ye Chen!

Deep inside the muzzle, a point of intense red light began to gather!

It was the sign that the shell was about to be fired!

The shadow of death, like tangible ice water, instantly poured over everyone's hearts!

Chu Niubi was scared out of his wits.

Bai Wanqing's face turned even paler.

An expression of excitement appeared on the faces of the Wang Family Members.

Ye Chen... was dead for sure!

However.

In the nick of time!

Ye Chen's forward steps paused slightly.

He looked down at the cracked ground beneath his feet.

The next second.

He raised his right foot and then stomped down violently!

“Boom—!!!”

A dull, thunderous sound, like the heartbeat of an ancient giant beast, blasted outward with the sole of his foot as the center!

The ground shook violently!

With Ye Chen as the center, the ground within a radius of dozens of meters arched upward like a lake surface into which a giant rock had been thrown, and then rolled up like waves!

Earth Vein Tracking was activated at full power!

Beneath the earth, countless crisscrossing veins, rock layers, and pipes... were presented in Ye Chen's perception like a 3D image.

Of course.

This included the soil structure beneath the tank that was slightly sunken due to its weight, as well as the complex transmission system and suspension devices inside the tank's chassis!

Almost at the same time, Ye Chen's left foot followed immediately, stomping down for the second time!

This time, the force was more concentrated and more violent!

“Rumble, rumble—!!!”

The ground arched and rolled upward like a giant python that had come to life!

A visible wave of earth surged toward the tank like a tsunami!

That steel beast, weighing dozens of tons, was actually jolted upward... and jumped by this sudden, violent force!

Yes, it jumped!

The heavy tracks left the ground by a full half-meter!

“Boom—!!!”

At the same time, fire erupted from the muzzle!

The shell shot out!

However, because of that sudden and unpredicted jolt of the vehicle body, the angle of the muzzle shifted.

The shell did not fire toward Ye Chen.

Instead... it grazed the top of Ye Chen's head and shot into the pitch-black night sky!

“Whoosh—!!!”

The dazzling firelight cut through the night curtain like a reverse meteor, flying higher and further under everyone's stunned gazes... eventually disappearing deep into the clouds.

It left only a gradually dissipating scorched trail and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke lingering in the air.

“Thud!”

The tank's heavy body fell back to the ground, and the crew inside the turret also seemed to be dazed by this inconceivable turn of events.

Everyone froze in place.

Chu Niubi maintained his forward-lunging posture, his mouth wide enough to fit a fist.

Bai Wanqing held her phone, her mind still unable to process what had happened.

The excitement on the faces of the Wang Family Members completely froze, their eyes filled with confusion.

This... what kind of method was this?

One step on the ground to trigger the earth veins, shake a tank into the air, and deflect a cannon shot?!

Can martial arts really reach this level?

Is this even fucking martial arts anymore?

This is simply a divine power!!!

Ye Chen slowly withdrew his foot and looked up at Wang Zhenyue.

“Old Master Wang.”

“Today, even if you were firing an Italian Cannon, no one could save you.”

“I'll only give you two choices.”

“Kneel down and wait for Old Master Xuanyuan and the others to return.”

“Or...”

“I'll take the trouble to deal with you one by one.”

“Choose.”

Wang Zhenyue suddenly snapped out of it and spoke in shock: “You... you're not a pure martial artist, you're a Cultivator?”

In his impression.

Only a Cultivator could overturn mountains and seas with a single step!

Although Ye Chen's step just now couldn't be called "overturning rivers and seas," it had already surpassed the limits of a martial artist... at the very least, it required power above the Heaven Realm!

But in this Dharma Ending Age, how could there be a Cultivator?

Ye Chen asked indifferently, “Are you worthy of knowing?”

“You!!!”

Wang Zhenyue's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak... Ye Chen's figure vanished from the spot again, directly attacking Wang Zhenyue!

“Too much nonsense.”

“If you won't choose, I'll choose for you!”
