292: I don't like eating dog food!

Ye Chen heard this and smiled.

"Is that so?"

"Actually, I don't even know what realm I'm at."

"I just feel..."

He paused, and the pale golden light on his fist intensified. "Beating you doesn't seem to take much effort."

Gongsun Long's face twitched violently, his eyes surging with malice, almost spitting fire!

He had dominated the dark world for decades; when had he ever been so disdained?!

And by a junior young enough to be his son, in such a near-insulting tone!

"Arrogant!!!"

He roared, and the black energy around him surged again, attempting to push his palm force three points further to crush Ye Chen!

But to his horror, no matter how he urged his true energy, the opponent's fist, wrapped in pale golden light, remained as immovable as an ancient mountain!

Even...

The counter-force coming from that fist seemed to have a faint tendency to increase!

What kind of monster is this kid?!

For the first time, a trace of retreat arose in Gongsun Long's heart, but it was immediately replaced by rage.

He could not retreat!

He is the Black Prison Hall Master!

If he retreated today, the prestige of Black Prison would plummet, and he, Gongsun Long, would become the laughingstock of the entire dark world!

"Ye Chen!"

Gongsun Long's voice was hoarse, carrying a cold threat.

"I admit you are very strong. To have such cultivation at such a young age, you can be called a monster!"

"But don't forget, this is my territory, and my people are all around!"

"Our strength might be on par; if we really fight to the death, the outcome is hard to predict."

"But if I give the order, they will swarm you. How long can those two women behind you hold out?"

"And those confidantes, friends, and family you have in Xiamen City..."

A cruel arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Black Prison has plenty of ways to make people disappear!"

"Ye Chen, I'll give you a choice."

"Give up resistance, surrender, and come back to Black Prison with me to face judgment."

"I promise in the name of the Black Prison Hall Master that I will only pursue you, and will never implicate anyone around you!"

"Otherwise..."

The killing intent in his words permeated like substance. "Today, you and I will fight to the death! Even if I can't kill you, I will make you watch as the people you care about die one by one in front of you!!!"

On the ferry, hope reignited in Wang Xuerou's eyes as she shrieked in agreement: "Yes! Long! Kill everyone he cares about! Make him wish he were dead!!!"

The Black Prison Elites also straightened their backs, their eyes becoming fierce again, weapons and gun muzzles once again aimed at Jessica and Night Owl, waiting only for the Hall Master's order.

Jessica and Night Owl's expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously moved closer together, their muscles tensed, ready for a bloody battle.

The atmosphere became tense again, ready to explode at any moment!

However.

Facing this naked threat, Ye Chen just sighed lightly, a look of impatience appearing on his face.

"Sigh."

"I say, do you people all learn your lines from the same training class?"

"Always 'people around you', 'people you care about'..."

"I'm sick of hearing this routine; my ears are almost calloused."

He looked up at the livid Gongsun Long, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat pitiful.

"Do you think being numerous makes you great?"

"Can having more people turn the situation around?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

"Sorry."

"That doesn't exist here with me."

The moment his voice fell, an indescribable, surging aura, like a dormant volcano erupting, soared into the sky from Ye Chen's body!

The aura was not violent, but heavy as the earth and vast as the starry sky, carrying an indifference and majesty that transcended all living beings!

The pale golden fist light that was originally in a stalemate with Gongsun Long suddenly shone brightly!

Gongsun Long's pupils shrank. He felt his palm print, in front of that suddenly surging golden light, start to tremble violently like ice meeting the scorching sun!

He was about to be unable to hold on!

How is that possible???

He had clearly used the power of the Celestial Master Realm just now, so how could this kid still have the energy to explode???

Could it be that he hadn't used his full strength before?!

This thought exploded in Gongsun Long's mind like a thunderbolt, making his whole body go cold!

"You... you were still hiding your strength?!"

Gongsun Long exclaimed, his voice full of unbelievable horror.

Ye Chen looked at him and asked indifferently.

"Do you not understand human language?"

"I said, I don't know how strong I am at all, and you don't seem to be able to test it either."

Gongsun Long was stunned.

But Ye Chen no longer gave him time to think.

Because...

The fist he held against the jet-black palm print, with that nine-fold stacked dark energy, exploded at this moment!

"Layered Wave Strength, Nine Layers Converge into One."

"Break."

Ye Chen's lips parted slightly, and he spat out a single word softly.

The next instant.

"Boom—!!!"

It was as if the power of a nine-fold tsunami was released at one point instantly!

Gongsun Long's palm print, as if hit head-on by a billion-ton giant hammer, couldn't even last a second before it exploded!

The black energy filling the sky scattered like shattered glass!

"Pfft!"

Gongsun Long was struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

Then.

The protective black energy instantly dissipated!

His sternum collapsed due to the inward compression of his hand bones!

His whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

"Hall Master!!!"

All the Black Prison Elites showed horror and shock on their faces, exclaiming aloud!

Wang Xuerou let out a shrill scream: "Long!"

In everyone's dazed gaze, Gongsun Long's tall and burly body drew a parabola in the air and then crashed into the ferry's alloy mast!

The thick mast was forcibly bent and deformed by the impact!

Gongsun Long slid down the mast, collapsed on the deck, spat out another mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly withered.

He struggled to lift his head, looking at the tall, upright figure on the yacht slowly retracting his fist, his eyes full of shock! Fear! And bewilderment!

One punch?

Just the explosion of one punch...

Defeated him?

This gap is simply like a chasm!

Ye Chen ignored his shock, looking innocent: "Eh, still no way to know how strong I am."

The whole crowd: "..."

Why does that sound so pretentious?

Ye Chen took a deep breath and continued.

"I am a person who..."

"Generally believes that if others don't offend me, I won't offend them."

"But what about you, Black Prison?"

"Because of one failed mission, you felt you lost face, so you sent people to trouble me again and again."

"From assassins to Dark Crow, and then to you, the Hall Master, taking the field in person..."

Ye Chen shook his head, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness, but more of mockery, "If this isn't seeking death, what is it?"

The surroundings were deathly silent.

The breathing of all the Black Prison Elites stagnated.

Because what Ye Chen said...

Was correct!

Initially, Black Prison only took a commission to assassinate Ye Chen.

After the mission failed, to maintain Black Prison's reputation of never failing in the dark world, and for that sky-high bounty, the high-level officials in the southern region decided to continue the hunt, never stopping until death.

They were used to bullying the weak, used to the desperate struggle of their targets, and used to ultimate success.

But who could have thought...

This time they didn't kick an iron plate.

But a towering mountain they could not shake at all!

One wrong step, every step wrong.

Now, even the Hall Master has lost, and lost so thoroughly!

Gongsun Long clutched his collapsed chest, coughing violently, each cough bringing out large mouthfuls of blood foam.

Listening to Ye Chen's words, the muscles on his face twitched, his eyes full of unwillingness.

He knew that Black Prison might really be finished.

Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to look at the colorful expressions on their faces anymore.

He tapped his toes, and his figure landed on the deck of the ferry.

Then.

Ye Chen ignored them and walked straight towards Gongsun Long, who was collapsed under the mast.

He stopped in front of Gongsun Long, bowed his head slightly, and looked down at this once-renowned Black Prison Hall Master.

"Any last words?"

Gongsun Long's eyes stared fixedly at Ye Chen.

The next second.

He turned his head abruptly and, with all his might, roared hoarsely towards Wang Xuerou, who was standing dumbfounded not far away.

"Run!"

"I... will stall for you!!!"

As he said this.

His whole body's energy surged, intending to use all his strength to buy time.

He just wanted her to survive.

Wang Xuerou trembled all over, waking up from her shock.

Looking at Gongsun Long's miserable state and Ye Chen's cold back, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She stumbled over, spread her arms, and blocked in front of Gongsun Long.

"I'm not leaving!"

"If we die, we die together!!!"

Her face was covered in tears, and her eyes, looking at Ye Chen, were filled with deep-seated hatred.

"Ye Chen! All of this has nothing to do with him!!!"

"It was me! It was me who begged him to avenge my father!"

"Everything was caused by me! If you want to kill someone, kill me! Let him go!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Ye Chen raised his hand and slapped her.

"Slap!!!"

The crisp sound of the slap rang across the deck.

Wang Xuerou's crying came to an abrupt halt.

She was spun half a circle in the air by the slap and fell onto the deck a few meters away, half of her face instantly swelling high, the corner of her mouth splitting, and blood flowing out.

She was stunned, her ears buzzing, and stars dancing before her eyes.

Ye Chen said indifferently.

"I don't like eating dog food."

"Besides, whether it has anything to do with him or not is not for you to decide."
