213: Who is behind you?

Facing this attack, Ye Chen merely sneered.

Using poison is, after all, a crooked path.

The Houtu Inheritance fears crooked paths the least.

In an instant...

Layered Wave Strength was pushed to its limit, and the punch momentum accumulated from previous blows, like a slumbering volcano, erupted completely at this moment!

He didn't dodge, nor did he use any flashy moves.

He simply lowered his waist and hips slightly, pulled back his right arm, and all his strength, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, poured into this single punch!

Then.

He met the pouncing venomous demon with a punch!

This punch, as always, was simple and unadorned.

Yet it seemed to stack, compress, and sublimate all previous fist energies into a single point!

Where the fist struck, the air was forcefully pushed aside, forming an invisible air barrier that then violently crashed into the overwhelming black poison mist!

"Bre-ak—for—me!!!"

Ye Chen's roar and Nether Spring's frantic shriek intertwined.

Fist and palm collided with a bang!

"Boom—!!!"

An unprecedented terrifying roar, like thunder from the nine heavens, exploded above Cloud Top Garden!

Violent air currents swept wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

Several black commercial vehicles that were a little too close were shifted sideways and pushed back, finally crashing into the green belt!

The villa's glass windows all shattered at the same time!

Even though Chu Niubi and Bai Wanqing were hiding behind the door, the terrifying shockwave made their eardrums ache and their blood churn!

When the air currents subsided.

Everyone struggled to open their eyes and looked towards the center of the scene.

Ye Chen was still standing there, maintaining the posture of having just thrown a punch, his expression unchanged.

And about twenty meters in front of him...

Nether Spring's wide black cloak was already tattered, and the pale ghost mask had a crack, revealing half of a withered, horrified old face.

He staggered back another dozen steps, finally hitting the side of an overturned SUV with his back!

"Pfft—!"

Nether Spring violently spat out a large mouthful of black blood, then struggled to raise his head, his face filled with disbelief.

His desperate strike...

Was actually defeated head-on?

This Ye Chen...

What kind of monster is he???

The Wang Family Members around were all dumbfounded.

They had thought that the appearance of the mysterious Nether Spring would be the Wang family's hope for a comeback from their desperate situation, a trump card that could utterly crush the God of Slaughter, Ye Chen...

But what was the result?

Their current 'hope' was actually lying on the ground in a sorry state, unable to get up!

Shock!

Despair!

Disbelief!

At this moment, everyone in the Wang family felt as if they had fallen from heaven into hell.

Ye Chen slowly retracted his fist, calming the qi and blood in his body.

Immediately after.

He ignored everyone's gaze, took a step, and walked towards Nether Spring, one step at a time.

"It seems..."

"Sometimes, trying can easily lead to dying."

Nether Spring clutched his chest, which was throbbing with pain, the half of his face revealed by the shattered mask ashen.

"You... cough cough..."

"Who... exactly... is behind you?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Behind me is the nation. Dragon Group is handling matters, do I need to explain to you?"

"No... you should know, that's not what I'm asking!"

Nether Spring shook his head violently.

"Such youth, such cultivation, such strangeness..."

"To completely ignore this old man's Bone-Corroding Nether Poison, this is definitely not something an ordinary martial arts inheritance can achieve!"

"Where exactly... did you inherit your skills from?!"

Ye Chen shrugged upon hearing this: "Oh, you're asking about that? Then you're not qualified to know."

Nether Spring's body trembled, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Words like that, he used to say to others.

But now...

This brat was saying them to him!

But he quickly suppressed the feeling of humiliation, gritted his teeth, and asked the biggest question in his heart at this moment.

"What I'm most curious about is, why... aren't you poisoned?"

"The Bone-Corroding Nether Poison specifically breaks through inner force and corrodes meridians!"

"Even Earth-rank masters, without special methods or treasures to protect them, would definitely not be spared!"

"You exchanged so many blows with me; the poison gas should have already invaded your limbs and body..."

"But you... why are you acting as if nothing happened?!"

This was the part he couldn't understand the most!

It was also the key to his complete and humiliating defeat!

Ye Chen rubbed his nose and spoke casually.

"Why?"

"Because I have Indestructible Vajra, so your poison is useless against me."

"In... Indestructible Vajra?" Nether Spring's expression instantly froze, then he suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "You are... from Shaolin?"

That's right!

The Indestructible Vajra Body was a unique skill of Shaolin.

But that technique had already been lost since the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover...

That was the supreme body-protecting divine skill of Buddhism, requiring Buddhist inner force as its foundation and daily chanting and refinement, but Ye Chen didn't seem like a Buddhist disciple at all!

After all.

Where was there even a hint of a Buddhist practitioner's aura on him?

"Shaolin?"

Ye Chen scoffed, pouting, "I'm not a bald monk; I can't stand eating vegetarian food and chanting scriptures every day."

"Then you..."

The half of Nether Spring's face beneath the mask twisted, his eyes full of disbelief and deep confusion, "Then where did you get this Indestructible Vajra ability? This is a lost Buddhist unique skill! Without a highly virtuous monk, without a true Buddhist lineage, it's absolutely impossible..."

"Shh—"

Before he could finish, Ye Chen raised a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and then a faint smile, one that could infuriate people without consequence, appeared on his face, "No need to ask, it's useless even if you do."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Wang Zhenyue's cold corpse not far away.

"Could it be..."

"You still want to take the answer with you and tell Old Master Wang personally?"

Nether Spring: "..."

He was choked by these words, his chest felt stuffy, his throat sweetened, and another mouthful of clotted blood welled up, but he forcefully swallowed it back.

Indeed, now was not the time to ask such questions.

He had to find a way...

To escape!

Otherwise, with this brat's methods, he would certainly not be let off.

Thinking this.

Just as he was about to make a move...

Suddenly!

"Boom-rumble-rumble!"

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently without warning!

"What's going on?!"

"An earthquake??"

"No! Look over there!"

...

Everyone in the audience looked around in panic.

The next second.

Everyone's gazes simultaneously swept towards the main road entrance of Cloud Top Garden!

They saw.

Amidst rolling dust, more than a dozen dark green wheeled armored vehicles, like a steel torrent, formed an assault formation, their engines roaring like beasts, mercilessly crashing through the black commercial vehicles blocking their path!

Steel collided!

Glass shattered!

Piercing sounds merged into a cacophony!

These armored vehicles were entirely covered with reactive armor, with machine gun turrets standing menacingly on their roofs, their muzzles lowered, advancing relentlessly towards the villa with an iron-blooded aura!

"Holy crap..."

Chu Niubi's mouth fell open as he looked at the crushing steel behemoths, his mind a little slow to process.

"What's going on now?"

"The Wang family's reinforcements? No, that's not right... these specifications belong to the regular army, don't they?!"

Nether Spring was also stunned. He struggled to lean against the car body, squinting his eyes at the menacing convoy, his brows furrowed beneath the mask.

The Wang family had such a trump card? How did he not know?

Soon.

The steel torrent, made up of a dozen dark green armored vehicles, after crushing all obstacles, came to an abrupt halt at the perimeter of the villa's front lawn.

The vehicle doors opened simultaneously.

Fully armed figures leaped out nimbly, rapidly spreading out to form a tactical formation, sealing off the entire area.

Immediately after.

The door of the armored command vehicle in the center was pushed open.

An old man in a dark gray Zhongshan suit with a dignified face slowly stepped down.

It was none other than the highest-ranking official of the Dragon Group—Xuanyuan Huo!

Behind him followed several middle-aged men with composed auras, clearly all top experts from the Dragon Group.

"Old... Old Master Xuanyuan?!"

Chu Niubi was the first to recognize the newcomers, his eyes widening abruptly, then his face filled with wild joy as he scrambled out of the villa entrance and ran all the way to Xuanyuan Huo.

"Grandpa Xuanyuan! You're finally here!"

"Look! Look at what these bastards have done?"

"Their Wang family colluded with Black Prison, doing all sorts of evil deeds, and when we caught them red-handed, they actually dared to jump over the wall in desperation!"

"They mobilized tanks! Used military weapons! And tried to silence us in Yan Jing City!"

"They even wanted to kill my master! If my master wasn't so powerful, we would have been blown to smithereens by now!"

Chu Niubi spoke with spittle flying and gesticulating wildly, pouring out everything the Wang family had done that night.

Xuanyuan Huo listened to Chu Niubi's accusations, his face expressionless.

Only when the other party finished speaking did he say lightly.

"The Wang family is doing great."

"Illegally mobilizing military weapons, attacking a civilian area, attempting to murder Dragon Group Special Agents, destroying evidence..."

"Do you genuinely disregard national law, or do you believe the Dragon Group's blade isn't sharp enough?"

As his words fell.

The Wang Family Members kneeling on the ground trembled violently, many of their faces ashen, with only boundless fear remaining in their eyes.

Wang Zhenshan and Third Master Wang struggled to raise their heads, opened their mouths, wanting to argue, but their throats felt blocked, unable to utter a single word.

The evidence was undeniable!

In plain sight of everyone!

Even their last trump card, the tanks, were still smoking and paralyzed there!

The Wang family was utterly finished tonight!

Xuanyuan Huo no longer looked at them, waving a hand behind him.

"Dragon Group, heed my command!"

"All Wang Family Members, retainers, and venerables present are to be detained!"

"Those who dare to resist..."

He paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Kill without mercy!"

"Yes!!!"

The Dragon Group experts behind him responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

Immediately, dozens of figures pounced out like wolves and tigers, swiftly taking control of the scene.

The Wang Family Members were like lambs to the slaughter. Before the Dragon Group elites, they couldn't even muster a thought of resistance, meekly allowing themselves to be handcuffed and escorted into the arriving prison vans.

Watching the Wang Family Members being escorted into the vehicles one by one, Nether Spring's eyes flashed!

He couldn't fall into the Dragon Group's hands!

Black Prison had too many secrets, too many plans, which absolutely could not be leaked through him!

Go!

He had to go!

He suddenly circulated the remaining qi in his body, and like a phantom merging into the shadows, he fled into the distance!
