404: Chapter 404 Your people have come, now it's my turn!
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
They had never seen such an arrogant person!
The thugs stared wide-eyed, looking at Ye Chen in disbelief.
They had seen cocky people, but never someone this cocky!
Giving Master Luo an hour to call for backup?
And saying he'd kill everyone if they didn't arrive within the hour?
Who the hell did he think Master Luo was?
The audience in the stands also erupted into a frenzy.
"Holy crap! Is this guy insane?"
"Could it be that he has someone backing him too, which is why he dares to be so wild?"
"It's over, it's really over now. He's definitely not walking out of here today!"
"Wait... he did just send Mike flying with a single kick..."
"So what? The people backing Master Luo are not someone a mere martial artist can compare to!"
...
Curses!
Gasps of surprise!
Heated discussions!
Everything intertwined into a chaotic noise instantly.
The thugs were even more enraged, gripping their machetes and iron bars tightly, wishing they could rush up and mince Ye Chen into meat paste.
Luo Sihai stood before the glass window, his face ashen.
He stared at Ye Chen's calm, expressionless face, and a sudden surge of intense unease welled up in his heart.
This young man...
He was too composed.
So composed that it didn't look like he was bluffing.
Who exactly was he?
And who was standing behind him?
But in front of over a thousand subordinates and a full house of spectators, he could not show any fear.
He took a deep breath and spoke coldly.
"Fine."
"Very well."
"Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish."
He turned and spoke in a heavy voice to the subordinate beside him.
"Go, call that person."
"Say..."
He paused, killing intent flaring in his eyes, "Someone has come to crash the place and wants to destroy our business."
The subordinate trembled, nodded hurriedly, and rushed out the door.
Luo Sihai looked back through the glass window, gazing down at Ye Chen on the ring from his superior position.
"Kid, in an hour, you will regret the words you said today."
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back and gave a faint smile.
"I'll be waiting."
...
Time passed minute by minute.
The atmosphere in the Underground Boxing Arena was so oppressive it made people feel suffocated.
The thugs watched Ye Chen like hawks, yet no one dared to take a step forward.
Mike was still embedded in the wall, having already passed out.
Luo Sen stood at the very front of the crowd, his expression shifting between anger and hesitation; he clenched his fists but never dared to make a move.
None of the spectators in the stands dared to leave either.
Some didn't want to leave, wanting to see what end Ye Chen would meet.
Others didn't dare move because Ye Chen's earlier threat had included them...
Wen Yating huddled in the crowd, so nervous her palms were sweating.
She looked at the figure standing with his hands behind his back on the ring, feeling both afraid and excited.
Her camera was still working.
She was absolutely certain.
Once the footage from her camera got out, it would be a visual blockbuster even without any post-editing.
But this man in front of her...
Could he really hold out?
Time continued to slip away.
Just as half the time had passed...
"Boom!!!"
A thunderous explosion suddenly echoed from above the arena!
Immediately following that.
The entire underground space trembled violently, and rubble began to fall!
Everyone looked up in terror.
They saw a huge hole crack open in the ceiling.
Amidst the swirling dust, a figure descended from the sky!
"Bang!!!"
The person landed steadily on the ring; where his feet touched, the ground shattered inch by inch!
The dust settled.
Everyone could finally see that face clearly.
It was a Middle-aged Man in his forties, wearing a grey long robe, with a cold and stern countenance.
He stood with his hands behind his back, True Qi faintly circulating around him, making his robes flutter without any wind.
When Luo Sihai saw this person, a burst of wild joy instantly erupted in his eyes!
He rushed to the glass window, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Lord! You've finally come!"
The Middle-aged Man nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon Ye Chen as he asked coldly, "Are you the one who came to crash the place?"
Ye Chen sized him up.
Heavenly Realm Peak.
Only one step away from the Celestial Master Realm.
He couldn't help but laugh. "This is the person you called?"
Luo Sihai stood behind the glass window and spoke with a cold sneer.
"Kid, this is a Lord Deacon of the Shenwu Alliance!"
"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, maybe you'll be allowed to leave a whole corpse!"
Shenwu Alliance?
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.
What a coincidence.
He had just dealt with a group of Shenwu Alliance people on Qianlong Mountain.
And now another one had shown up?
He shook his head and gave a light sigh.
"Shenwu Alliance..."
"Do you people not check the almanac before you head out?"
"You keep running into me time after time."
The Middle-aged Man frowned. "You know of the Shenwu Alliance?"
Ye Chen looked up and smiled faintly.
"I do."
"Just now on Qianlong Mountain, I crushed over a dozen of them under my foot."
"Why?"
"Do you want to try too?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Middle-aged Man's expression changed drastically!
"What did you say?!"
His eyes were like lightning, staring fixedly at Ye Chen as the True Qi around him instantly became violent!
"You killed people from my Shenwu Alliance?!"
That's right.
He was the person in charge of the Shenwu Alliance in this vicinity.
He had a group of subordinates who were currently on Qianlong Mountain searching for a remnant scroll.
But there had been no news of its whereabouts so far.
And according to the rules...
They needed to report the situation every hour, but not long ago, it seemed they hadn't reported in yet.
Could it be that they were dealt with by this kid???
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "They wanted to steal my things and even tried to kill me. I sent them to prison. Is there a problem?"
"So..."
The Middle-aged Man narrowed his eyes. "The item is in your hands?"
"Yeah," Ye Chen nodded.
The Middle-aged Man extended his hand and said coldly, "Hand it over, or... die!"
"I'm not handing it over."
Ye Chen curled his lip decisively. "If you have the ability, come and take it yourself."
The Middle-aged Man's face turned completely dark. "Kid, do you know the consequences of offending the Shenwu Alliance?"
"I don't, and I'm not interested in knowing."
Ye Chen raised his hand and crooked his finger at the Middle-aged Man.
"Let's stop wasting words. The item is on me; come and get it if you can."
"Let me also see how much stronger you, a Deacon, are compared to those pieces of trash."
The moment these words were uttered.
The Middle-aged Man's face turned pitch black.
As a Deacon of the Shenwu Alliance and a Heavenly Realm Peak powerhouse, he was a rare existence even in the entire secular world!
When had he ever been so looked down upon???
"You're looking for death!"
His figure turned into an afterimage as he lunged toward Ye Chen!
His speed was incredibly fast!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Chen!
He struck out with a palm!
The palm wind whistled!
The True Qi of the Heavenly Realm Peak swept out like a tornado!
This single palm strike was enough to crush a truck into scrap metal!
In the eyes of others, that punch was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
But in Ye Chen's eyes, it was too slow, too soft, and too weak...
He shook his head, immediately raising an arm and curling his middle finger against his thumb.
Then.
Under the shocked, bewildered, and dumbfounded expressions of everyone...
He flicked it directly against the opponent's palm.
In an instant.
The Middle-aged Man's expression changed drastically, followed by a violent force that swept through his entire body.
He suddenly felt...
Every bone in his body had shattered!
Not only did he lose all his strength instantly, but his entire person was also sent flying backward!
"Boom!!!"
The Middle-aged Man slammed hard into the railing of the stands.
The railing bent immediately.
The steps shattered upon impact.
To the point where...
The surrounding steps collapsed into a deep pit, with cracks spreading out like a spiderweb!
The Middle-aged Man's body was completely unable to move; the shock and fear in his eyes were almost overflowing.
"This... how is this possible?"
One move?
Just one move?
He, a dignified Heavenly Realm Peak expert, was sent flying by a young man with a flick of two fingers?
The most terrifying part was...
His bones were now crushed, his meridians severed, and it even felt like his energy center was leaking!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, watching this scene in disbelief.
The weapons in the thugs' hands clattered to the ground one after another.
Luo Sen's legs went weak, and he fell directly to his knees.
Even Zheng Yi was insta-killed in one move; what did a minor character like himself count for...
The spectators in the stands were even more silent than cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.
A sense of terror permeated the entire venue!
That was a Lord Deacon of the Shenwu Alliance!
That was a Heavenly Realm Peak powerhouse!
This was too damn terrifying!!!
Luo Sihai stood before the glass window, the smile on his face gone.
His legs gave way, and he slumped directly onto the sofa; the arrogant expression he usually wore had completely vanished.
It's over.
Everything is over.
Even the Lord Deacon of the Shenwu Alliance couldn't stop him; he was afraid he would really meet his end here today...
However.
Before he could react.
Ye Chen had already looked up and met his gaze.
"Your person has come, but unfortunately..."
"He's too weak."
As the words fell.
The entire venue remained deathly silent.
No one dared to speak.
No one dared to move.
Just then.
A phone ringtone suddenly sounded.
Ye Chen pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen; it was an unknown number.
But he still answered it.
The next second.
A respectful voice came from the other end.
"Greetings, Chief Instructor!"
"I am Yuan An, the person in charge of the Dragon Group's Central Plains City branch!"
"The group of people you wanted to arrest, we have already caught them all!"
"Seventeen in total, not a single one escaped!"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and spoke calmly.
"Good timing."
"I'll send you a location. Bring a team over and shut down an Underground Boxing Arena."
"They're trafficking human parts here."
As the words fell.
On the other end of the phone, Yuan An's voice became filled with rage.
"What? Trafficking human parts?"
"Chief Instructor, please rest assured! I will bring men over immediately!"
"Ten minutes! No! We'll be there in five!"
Ye Chen nodded, hung up the phone, and casually sent a location to Yuan An's number.
Then.
He put away his phone, looked up at Luo Sihai behind the glass window, and smiled faintly.
"Your people have come; now, it's my people's turn."
"No one should think about leaving without permission."
"Otherwise..."
"The Dragon Group has the authority to execute first and report later; you will die."
