349: Chapter 349 An eye for an eye!

Sima Yao trembled all over, her chest heaving violently. Her expression shifted from grief to anger, and from anger to madness.

She suddenly raised her right hand and slammed it down fiercely!

"Fire!!!"

"Kill him for me!!!"

The dozen or so members of Bureau 749 were shocked, but military orders were absolute.

Their fingers moved, pulling the triggers!

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

A dozen gunshots rang out almost simultaneously!

The specialized pistols spat out orange-red flames as specialized bullets, carrying terrifying kinetic energy capable of piercing steel plates, whistled toward Ye Chen!

These bullets were no ordinary ammunition.

They were special rounds developed by Bureau 749 specifically to deal with martial artists!

The warheads were engraved with Qi-Breaking Runes, capable of easily tearing through the Protective True Qi of a Heaven Realm Expert!

The shells were filled with high-energy explosives that would detonate a second time upon impact, causing even more horrific damage!

Even a Celestial Master Realm powerhouse would lose a layer of skin if hit by these things!

And now...

A dozen such bullets were flying straight at Ye Chen in unison!

They cut off all his paths of retreat!

There was no space left to dodge!

"Master!!!"

Chu Niubi roared!

Chu Shixiong's face changed drastically; he subconsciously wanted to rush forward to block them, but it was far too late!

Sima Li stood at the manor entrance, watching the scene with a crazed smile on his face.

Die!

Die!

This arrogant brat is finally going to die!!!

However.

In the next second.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze.

Because...

Ye Chen didn't dodge.

He didn't even move.

He just stood there, letting those dozen bullets slam violently into his body.

Clang!

Clang!!

Clang!!!

A series of crisp metallic impacts exploded in the deathly silent air!

Those dozen specialized bullets hit Ye Chen as if they were hitting an indestructible iron plate!

The warheads shattered!

The casings exploded!

Shrapnel flew everywhere!

And then...

One by one, they fell to the ground.

The entire area was deathly silent.

One could hear a pin drop.

The dozen or so Bureau 749 members stared with wide eyes and open mouths, frozen like statues as if their pressure points had been struck.

They looked at the smoking guns in their hands, the pile of shattered bullet heads on the ground, and then at the young man standing there completely unharmed...

Only one thought remained in their minds.

Wait...

Did the Qi-Breaking Bullets fail?

How could they be completely useless???

The smile on Sima Yao's face completely froze.

She looked at Ye Chen, a chill rising from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

Impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

Those were Bureau 749's specialized Qi-Breaking Bullets!

They can even tear through the Protective True Qi of a Celestial Master Realm expert!

How could...

How could they not even graze his skin???

Sima Li's legs gave out, and he slumped directly onto the ground. His face was as pale as paper, and his lips trembled so much he couldn't speak.

His daughter, his pride and joy!

Bureau 749, in which he had placed high hopes!

A dozen specialized firearms!

They actually...

Couldn't even wound that young man in the slightest???

Ye Chen gently patted the dust off his clothes and spoke indifferently.

"Is that all?"

"Continue."

"Otherwise, it'll be my turn."

The voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap striking everyone's hearts.

The dozen Bureau 749 members subconsciously took half a step back, nearly losing their grip on their guns.

Continue?

Continue my ass!

A dozen bullets hit him and didn't even break his skin; what was there to continue?

Wasn't that just seeking death?!

Sima Yao suddenly snapped back to her senses, her expression turning pale and blue: "You... just what kind of monster are you???"

Ye Chen looked at her and smiled slightly.

"A monster? No..."

"I am simply someone you cannot afford to provoke."

As his voice fell, he began walking toward Sima Yao.

Every step he took seemed to land right on Sima Yao's heart.

"Didn't you just say you were going to kill me?"

Sima Yao's face was deathly white. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak...

Ye Chen interrupted her and continued.

"Rest assured."

"I won't kill you."

Sima Yao froze for a moment.

But before she could react, Ye Chen's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I will make you watch with your own eyes as your Sima Family is wiped out by me."

"And then..."

"I'll let you live the rest of your life with that memory."

Everyone who heard this was stunned at first, then their expressions became strange.

This was even more ruthless than killing Sima Yao!

This was truly destroying someone's heart and soul!

Sima Yao's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something...

Suddenly!

Ye Chen had already moved.

He raised his right hand, and a silver needle shot out from his fingertip!

It was as fast as a lightning bolt!

It was impossible for the naked eye to track!

In the next second.

Shing—

The silver needle entered right between Sima Li's eyebrows, pierced through his brain, and emerged half an inch from the back of his head!

The expression on Sima Li's face froze instantly.

He stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, his lips twitching as if he wanted to say something.

But not a single word came out.

His pupils began to dilate.

And then.

His entire body fell straight backward.

Thud!

His body hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

His eyes were wide open, and they didn't close even in death.

He had died with his eyes open, unable to rest in peace.

The entire area was deathly silent.

One could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Sima Yao stood there, looking as if she had been struck by lightning, motionless.

She looked at the corpse on the ground, at those unblinking eyes, and her mind went blank.

Several seconds passed.

Only then did she suddenly snap back to her senses.

A heart-wrenching grief exploded from the depths of her soul!

She stumbled forward and threw herself onto Sima Li, her hands trembling as she cradled his head.

"Dad!!!"

"Wake up!!!"

Her shrill screams echoed through the night sky.

But Sima Li would never respond to her again.

The dozen Bureau 749 members watched the scene, their expressions filled with nothing but shock.

It was over.

Something huge had happened.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect Ye Chen to actually dare to kill someone, and that person was Sima Li!

Sima Yao suddenly looked up and stared fixedly at Ye Chen, her eyes bloodshot and her face covered in tears.

"Ye Chen!"

"You dared to kill my father right in front of me!!!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen still wore that harmless smile on his face.

"Oh?"

"Do you have any evidence to prove that?"

Sima Yao's entire body shook; she was completely bewildered.

This bastard killed her father right in front of her, and then immediately asked her for evidence?

Did he think they were all blind???

Among the dozen Bureau 749 members, a Middle-aged Man who looked like the team leader took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Ye Chen!"

"We saw you commit the murder with our own eyes!"

"That silver needle was shot from your hand!"

"What more evidence do you want?"

Ye Chen tilted his head, his gaze falling on the man's face.

"You guys?"

"Saw it with your own eyes?"

The leader stiffened his neck and forced himself to say.

"That's right!"

"All dozen of us saw it!"

"Don't even think about denying it!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"You are from Bureau 749, she is your Deputy Team Leader, and the deceased is her father. Of course you would speak up for her."

"You're all on the same side, so what does that prove?"

"I could just as easily say she killed her own father with her own hands!"

Miao Renfeng immediately chimed in: "That's right, I can testify to that!"

Chu Niubi followed up instantly: "Count me in!"

Chu Shixiong also nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

The Bureau 749 members: "???"

Wait...

Why does this sound so familiar?

Oh, right!

When Sima Yao arrived earlier, she used this exact logic!

She said Ye Chen had no evidence to prove the Sima Family was trying to harm him!

Now, Ye Chen was giving those words back to them exactly as they were!

The leader's face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

He opened his mouth to argue, but found he couldn't refute it at all.

Because what Ye Chen said was the truth.

They were Sima Yao's subordinates, people she had brought along.

In the eyes of others, their words naturally had no credibility.

Just as Ye Chen's unilateral claim that the Sima Family wanted to harm him...

Kneeling on the ground and cradling her father's corpse, Sima Yao completely broke down upon hearing this.

She suddenly looked up and let out a heart-wrenching roar.

"Ye Chen!"

"Today, either you die or I do!"

"You killed my brother! You killed my father!"

"You are so cruel and vicious!!!"

Ye Chen looked down at her and smiled slightly: "You can't even produce evidence, so how are you going to make it 'either you die or I do'? By using your mouth?"

Sima Yao: "!!!"

She trembled all over, her lips quivering, but she couldn't say a single word.

Standing to the side, Chu Niubi finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Master, you're too much!"

"You're literally grinding Sima Yao's IQ into the dirt!"

Chu Shixiong also couldn't help his mouth from twitching.

In his forty-three years of life, he had seen ruthless people, madmen, and those who destroyed souls.

But someone like Ye Chen, who killed a father right in front of the daughter and then made it so she couldn't produce evidence...

This was truly the first time he had ever seen such a thing.
