565: Chapter 565 If I kill you, who will know it was me?

Arrogant!

Absolute arrogance!

Qin Shou looked at that figure and asked coldly, "You, want to meddle in others' business???"

"Meddle in others' business?"

Ye Chen's figure dropped from above, landing right in front of Shen Qingyi.

"Me, I don't have many hobbies, but I do like meddling in others' business."

"Especially when I can't stand seeing a group of people bullying a young girl."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Yamaguchi Ichiro's group, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Besides, when one fellow countryman meets another, it's only natural to help."

"Unlike some people, who clearly have the face of a Dragon Country person, yet insist on mixing with the Japanese, doing things even worse than beasts."

He paused, his gaze falling back on Qin Shou.

"Don't you agree, you beastly old dog?"

Whether it was Shen Qingyi or Shu Yuan, the sorrow on their faces was broken by Ye Chen's words.

Who was this person?

Not only was his speech harsh, but he was also so forceful!

However...

Before they could think further.

Qin Shou suddenly snapped back to his senses and flew into a rage: "You're looking for death!"

In his entire life, he hated it most when people called him an old dog!

And yet...

This incredibly young man actually dared to insult him without any restraint?

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

"I don't know if I'm looking for death, but I do know..."

"You're definitely not going to have a good time tonight."

Unbearable!

At this moment, Qin Shou could no longer hold back. His aura surged, and the pressure of a late-stage Tianyi Realm expert crushed toward Ye Chen like something physical.

He was about to move.

But Yamaguchi Ichiro suddenly reached out and stopped him: "Qin Shou-kun, don't be angry."

Qin Shou frowned and turned his head to look at him.

Yamaguchi Ichiro grinned, his eyes full of contempt.

"He's just an ignorant little Shina pig, why do you need to do it yourself?"

"Leave him to us."

Without waiting for Qin Shou's response, he placed his right hand on the hilt of the Tachi at his waist and sneered.

"Shina pig, I don't care who you are or how you got in here."

"Since you want to meddle, I'll finish you off first, and then I'll play with that woman slowly."

As he spoke, his right hand suddenly drew the Tachi from his waist.

Yamaguchi Ichiro held the sword with both hands, the tip pointing diagonally toward the ground, and his feet suddenly exerted force.

"baka-yaro!"

"You Shina pig, go die!"

He roared, his entire body like a bolt of black lightning, rushing toward Ye Chen.

The Tachi drew a sharp arc in his hand, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, slashing straight at Ye Chen's neck.

This strike...

Fast!

Accurate!

Ruthless!

Although Yamaguchi Ichiro was lecherous and wicked, he didn't reach a high position in the Yamaguchi-gumi just by talking.

His swordsmanship had been practiced since childhood, and the souls who had died under his blade numbered at least eighty to a hundred.

The surrounding Japanese men all showed excited expressions.

"Lord Yamaguchi's Battojutsu is both fast and ruthless!"

"That Shina person is dead for sure!"

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I saw the Lord take action personally. We're in for a good show tonight!"

...

Qin Shou stood with his hands behind his back, watching this scene expressionlessly.

He didn't stop it, nor did he intend to help.

In his view...

Although Ye Chen was somewhat strange and even more arrogant, he indeed wasn't worth his personal intervention.

Because he was too young.

He directly dismissed the idea that Ye Chen's strength could be equal to or even surpass his own.

After all.

To want to surpass him at such a young age, unless he was a peerless genius who started cultivating in the womb, it was absolutely impossible.

Moreover.

Yamaguchi Ichiro was no ordinary person; he was a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert.

That Battojutsu technique was something even he couldn't completely ignore.

It was perfect for testing the young man's background.

In an instant.

Yamaguchi Ichiro's Tachi had already slashed in front of Ye Chen, the blade carrying a fierce wind, less than half a foot away from Ye Chen's neck.

The layer of dark-black true qi attached to the blade glinted with an eerie luster under the dim yellow light.

However.

Ye Chen didn't even look at him; he just reached out his right hand and gently pinched with two fingers.

"Clang—"

The Tachi was caught, unable to advance even an inch.

Yamaguchi Ichiro's expression changed drastically.

He wanted to pull the sword back.

But the Tachi seemed to be welded between Ye Chen's fingers; no matter how much force he used, it wouldn't budge an inch.

"You..."

Before he could finish.

Ye Chen's two fingers twisted gently.

"Snap!"

The Tachi, forged from refined steel, snapped into two pieces in the middle.

Yamaguchi Ichiro held the half-broken blade, completely stunned.

Not this...

This sword was made of refined steel!

It was actually broken by two fingers???

However.

Ye Chen didn't give him a chance to react. He reached forward with his right hand, snatched the broken blade from his hand, and swept it back.

A cold light flashed.

A thin line of blood appeared on Yamaguchi Ichiro's throat.

Blood immediately gushed out from the line.

Yamaguchi Ichiro's eyes widened, and he clutched his throat tightly with both hands, trying to say something, but only bubble-like sounds came out.

Then...

His head tilted more and more.

The moment blood stained half his body, his head fell off, and his body collapsed.

The head rolled several meters away, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground before finally hitting the base of the wall and stopping.

That face still held the expression from before he died...

Terror!

Unwillingness!

Disbelief!

Everyone was dumbstruck, frozen in place as if a petrification spell had been cast on them.

No one saw clearly how Ye Chen had moved.

From catching the blade, to snapping it, to snatching the blade and slitting the throat...

The entire process took less than a single breath.

It was so fast their eyes couldn't keep up.

So fast their brains hadn't even had time to process the images before Yamaguchi Ichiro's head had already hit the ground.

"..."

Standing among the crowd, Qin Shou's expression completely froze.

His pupils constricted slightly as he stared intently at Ye Chen, waves of shock crashing through his heart.

Yamaguchi Ichiro was a Peak Celestial Master Realm expert.

Even he couldn't have handled that Battojutsu so casually.

Let alone an instant kill with a single strike.

But the young man before him had done it.

And...

He did it so casually, so nonchalantly, as if he had just swatted a mosquito!

How is this possible???

Qin Shou's face darkened completely, his voice as cold as ice: "To be able to instant-kill a Celestial Master Realm expert with one strike... are you also a Heavenly First Realm Expert?"

Ye Chen casually tossed away the broken blade and spoke indifferently.

"If you think so, then so be it."

Qin Shou narrowed his eyes: "To be a Tianyi expert at such a young age, who exactly are you? It's impossible for me not to have heard your name."

Ye Chen looked at him, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Ye Chen."

Qin Shou was stunned.

Shen Qingyi was shocked.

Shu Yuan and Jiang Daoxuan were also dumbfounded.

This name...

It was too familiar!

Recently, this name had been repeatedly mentioned in the Kunlun Ruins.

Many people were wondering if he was the illegitimate son of some big shot.

Otherwise...

How could he be so powerful?

He was either killing the second master of a financial magnate or wiping out an entire power.

He was too damn arrogant...

Qin Shou's breath hitched.

"You... you are Ye Chen?"

"That's right, it's me." Ye Chen spoke indifferently with his hands in his pockets.

Qin Shou's face turned pale and then flushed: "So... you want to save them?"

Ye Chen glanced at him.

"You have an objection?"

Qin Shou's face darkened completely, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Ye Chen, I represent the people of the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates. Do you dare to interfere?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates," trying to suppress Ye Chen.

One must know...

The One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates were the top powers in the Kunlun Ruins.

Picking any one of them, they were existences that could make the entire cultivation world tremble with a stomp of their feet.

Not to mention the nine major powers joining forces?

He didn't believe Ye Chen would dare to offend these nine major powers at the same time.

However.

After hearing this, Ye Chen laughed instead.

"If I kill you, who would know I did it?"

Qin Shou's face turned black, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

He suddenly realized...

What Ye Chen said was the truth.

Tonight, besides himself, everyone present was Japanese.

And the Japanese...

In front of Ye Chen, they weren't even as good as ants.

If Ye Chen really killed everyone, the news wouldn't get out at all.

Even if the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates wanted revenge, they wouldn't find a target.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qin Shou's back.

However.

Ye Chen looked at his pale face and laughed again.

"Furthermore..."

His smile faded, and his voice turned cold, "You colluded with the Japanese and harmed your fellow countrymen. As the Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion of the Dragon Group, I have a responsibility to sanction you. Don't you agree?"

Qin Shou: "???"

Ye Chen tilted his head and continued.

"Your name is Qin Shou, and I think it's a good name; it's quite fitting."

"Do you think your parents knew back then when they named you that you'd grow up to be a traitor?"

Qin Shou's face turned the color of pig liver, and his eyes almost spat fire.

"Ye Chen! You've gone too far!"

"Today, let me, Qin Shou, see if your skills, Ye Chen, are really as the rumors say..."

"Powerful!!!"

Before his voice even fell.

He stomped his foot, blasting a large crater in the ground, and his whole body lunged toward Ye Chen like a bolt of gray lightning.

"Die for me!"
