393: Chapter 393 Chen Feng is down, and Chen Tian is down too!

Ye Chen smiled: "Speak."

Chen Feng gritted his teeth, speaking one word at a time.

"That Silk Scroll... was unearthed from a Warring States Ancient Tomb in Central Plains City."

"The location is at the top of Qianlong Mountain!"

"It's a tourist attraction, so it's very easy to find."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Just this one volume? No clues about the other fragments?"

Chen Feng snorted coldly, his eyes filled with grievance and anger.

"If there were clues, would my Chen family still need to use a fragment as bait?"

"Do you think we have nothing better to do?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned: "I called you trash, and yet you're still unhappy about it."

Chen Feng's face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

He, Chen Feng, the dignified head of the Chen family and a powerhouse of the Tianyi Realm, was actually being called trash?

But what did he dare to say?

Both his hands were broken, his True Qi was in disarray, and he couldn't even stand up.

He could only grit his teeth and speak with a grim face.

"I have already told you everything you wanted to know."

"It's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Ye Chen looked down at him and smiled slightly: "Fine, you can leave at any time."

Hearing this, Chen Feng felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and let out a long sigh of relief.

He struggled to crawl out of the pile of rubble, already calculating in his heart that once he went back and healed his injuries, he would definitely settle the score...

However.

At the very moment he just raised his head...

"Swoosh!"

A cold light as thin as a hair shot out from Ye Chen's fingertips!

It was one of the Silver Needles!

It was so fast that Chen Feng had no time to react at all.

So much so,

that it shot directly into Chen Feng's lower abdomen, piercing through his energy center!

Chen Feng trembled all over, the expression on his face changing from blankness to horror.

He felt the majestic True Qi within his body pouring out frantically like a floodgate being opened!

In the blink of an eye, it vanished completely!

"Ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Chen Feng's throat!

His whole body seemed to have its spine removed as he slumped to the ground, trembling all over, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing.

"You... you didn't keep your word!!!"

He roared, his voice trembling.

Ye Chen looked down at him with an innocent face.

"Didn't keep my word?"

"I only said I'd let you go, I never said I wouldn't cripple you."

"You're a grown man, can't you even understand words?"

Chen Feng: "???"

He was completely dumbfounded.

Let him go?

Crippling his energy center—this was called letting him go?!

Chen Feng had lived for over sixty years, climbing from an Outer Disciple to the position of the Chen family head, relying on this cultivation!

Now that his cultivation was gone, what was the point of living?

After returning, would the elders who were his rivals let him live?

No!

Those people wouldn't let a piece of trash go, and the Chen family wouldn't want a useless person!

Chen Feng slumped on the ground, trembling all over, as two lines of turbid tears slid down his cheeks.

He regretted it.

He regretted why he had released the Warring States Fragment in the first place!

This was simply inviting a wolf into the house!!!

Just then,

"Swoosh!"

A sharp sword light suddenly attacked from the side!

Fast!

So fast that the people present had no time to react!

That sword light went straight for Ye Chen's throat, carrying overwhelming killing intent; it was clearly a long-premeditated attack!

But...

Ye Chen didn't even turn his head; he just raised his right hand and extended two fingers.

With a gentle pinch,

the long sword stabbing towards his throat was instantly caught firmly by two fingers, remaining motionless.

The tip of the sword was less than three inches from his throat.

The person holding the sword was a figure in black, currently staring wide-eyed, looking at this scene in disbelief.

He used all his strength, trying to stab the sword forward.

But it wouldn't move.

He wanted to pull the sword back.

As a result, it wouldn't budge either.

Those two fingers were now like iron pincers, firmly gripping his sword.

The man in black's expression changed, and he let go without hesitation.

The next second,

he took out a white sphere from his other hand and smashed it hard onto the ground!

"Bang!"

The sphere exploded, and a thick white mist surged out, instantly enveloping the surroundings!

The white mist was pungent and choking, clearly a specially made smoke bomb!

The smoke spread, obstructing vision.

Ye Chen stood in place, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Wanting to save someone amidst the chaos?

Interesting.

He raised his right foot and lightly stepped on the ground.

"Boom!!!"

An invisible surge of energy erupted from the sole of his foot!

That energy was like a gale passing through, instantly blowing away the thick smoke around him!

The smoke dissipated.

A figure in black was bending over, reaching out to grab Chen Feng in the pile of rubble.

His hand was less than three inches from Chen Feng's collar.

"Want to take him away?"

Ye Chen tilted his head and smiled slightly. "Then leave fair and square, why be so sneaky?"

The man in black's face changed. Without a word, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand, grabbed Chen Feng's collar, and was about to lift him up!

However,

the next second,

Ye Chen instantly appeared by his side and kicked out with his right foot.

"Bang!!!"

The man in black's chest caved in, and he was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string!

Chen Feng's collar was released, and he fell heavily back into the rubble, groaning in pain.

"Boom!!!"

The man in black smashed into a wall over ten meters away. The wall collapsed, and the rubble buried most of him.

He rolled several times in the rubble, spitting out mouthfuls of blood before finally coming to a stop.

Chen Feng lay in the rubble, his face changing drastically.

"Chen Tian!"

That's right!

Originally, he and Chen Tian were one in the light and one in the shadows.

But he never expected...

Chen Tian actually couldn't even withstand one kick from Ye Chen!

Chen Tian lay in the rubble, struggling to crawl up, but Ye Chen's kick had crushed his chest, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

He could only lie there, gasping for breath, his eyes full of horror.

This Ye Chen...

Just what kind of monster was he?

One kick, and he couldn't even get up???

Ye Chen withdrew his foot, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the two Chen family powerhouses lying on the ground, speaking indifferently.

"If you want to leave, leave fair and square."

"I, Ye Chen, keep my word. If I said I'd let you go, I'll let you go."

"But you insist on playing dirty..."

He paused, his gaze landing on Chen Tian's face, and he smiled slightly.

"Then your strength shall stay behind as well."

As his voice fell,

"Swoosh!"

One of the Silver Needles shot out from his fingertips!

Fast as lightning!

Chen Tian's pupils shrank, and he tried his best to dodge, but it was too late!

That Silver Needles shot straight into his lower abdomen!

And then,

pierced through his energy center!

"Ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Chen Tian's throat!

His whole body twitched violently, and the True Qi in his body poured out like a floodgate, vanishing completely in the blink of an eye!

He slumped in the rubble, his eyes full of despair.

Finished.

Completely finished.

He had followed in the footsteps of the family head...

Chen Feng was also dumbfounded.

The two of them had come full of confidence, but in the blink of an eye, both were crippled?

Even if they went back, what would be the use?

The Chen family...

was probably about to face a major upheaval!

Ye Chen withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over the two Chen family powerhouses slumped on the ground, speaking indifferently.

"Remember, if you want to save someone next time, do it fair and square."

"Don't play these dirty tricks."

"You can't win."

After speaking,

he turned around and went back to Bing Lan's side.

Chen Feng and Chen Tian then struggled to crawl up.

Then,

supporting each other, they staggered to their feet.

Regardless of whether they were crippled or not, they had to leave this place first.

Otherwise...

their strength was gone!

Their lives would be lost too!

The surrounding Chen family subordinates woke up one by one and hurriedly stepped forward to support them.

Soon,

the Chen family members, who had come in a hurry, left in a hurry, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Once they left, everyone stared wide-eyed, blankly watching the scene.

Two Chen family powerhouses were crippled just like that!

The people around didn't even dare to breathe.

Bian Duzi hid behind the crowd, completely dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, he was excitedly waving his fists, shouting to kill Ye Chen.

But now...

Chen Feng was down, and Chen Tian was also down.

That young man was still standing there perfectly fine.

Baka...

What kind of monster is this???

Jin Wukang's legs turned soft, and he slumped directly onto the ground, the expression on his face looking worse than if he were crying.

He was also shouting to kill that bastard just now.

Thinking about it now...

was he tired of living???

The two of them looked at each other across the crowd.

That look was full of horror, despair, and a longing for survival.

The next second,

the two of them did something that caught everyone by surprise...

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

Two dull sounds of kneeling rang out almost simultaneously.

Bian Duzi and Jin Wukang knelt on the ground in unison.

Their posture was as standard as could be, and as devout as could be.

The whole place was in an uproar.

"Holy crap? The Japanese man and the Korean man are kneeling to a Chinese person?"

"Weren't they just shouting to kill him? Why are they kneeling now?"

"Nonsense, those two from the Chen family were crippled. If they don't kneel, are they waiting to be crippled too?"

"Hahaha! This face-slapping is so satisfying!"

...

The surrounding Chinese people laughed until they were doubled over, their faces full of relief.

The members of the Japanese and Korean delegations turned green, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

But what could they say?

Their own leaders had knelt; what face did they have left to speak?

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh?"

"What's this for?"

"Weren't you quite lively just now?"
