575: Chapter 575 Your Shrinking Earth to an Inch Technique is Too Counterfeit!

"Hiss..."

Someone gasped.

The next second.

The surroundings erupted into an uproar.

Sword Dao Divinity!

That was the highest realm of the Sword Dao, a domain that countless sword cultivators spent their entire lives unable to touch.

In the entire cultivation world, there was almost no one who could reach this realm.

The legendary Sword Gods were only a step away...

But Ye Chen, a young man in his early twenties, had actually reached the realm of Sword Dao Divinity?

This was simply inconceivable!

Ye Chen glanced at Bai Yujing but didn't answer.

Instead, he looked back at Liu Shenfeng, who was pinned to the container, and shook his head.

"I said that against you, I wouldn't even need to use a sword."

"You just wouldn't believe me."

"Do you believe me now?"

Pinned to the container, blood leaked from the corner of Liu Shenfeng's mouth, and his eyes were filled with terror.

It was true.

Ye Chen hadn't touched a sword from beginning to end.

Instead, Liu Shenfeng's own sword had turned around and attacked him...

This was simply too appalling.

It could be said that his and Ye Chen's attainments in the Sword Dao were fundamentally not on the same level...

Ye Chen stopped looking at him and scanned everyone present.

Finally.

His gaze landed on Bai Yujing, and he reached out to beckon with his finger.

"Next, it's your turn."

"Didn't you think I was overestimating myself by wanting to wipe out the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

"Come, let me see exactly what a Guest Elder of the Bai family is made of."

Bai Yujing's face darkened completely.

He knew very well that Ye Chen was much more terrifying than he had imagined.

To be able to instantly kill a sword saint at the Mid Golden Core Stage with a single sword—if he fought head-on, victory wouldn't be so easily achieved.

Even if he won, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory.

Bai Yujing took a deep breath, and the expression on his face gradually shifted from gloomy to calm.

"Ye Chen, you are a talent."

"I have lived for eighty-seven years and seen countless geniuses, but one like you is a first."

"Why not..."

"Join the Bai family?"

"That way, the Ancient Tomb Sect can also survive."

"This is the greatest promise I can give you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately boiled over.

The expressions of several Tianyi Sect disciples changed drastically, their eyes filled with indignation.

Their Tianyi Sect elder had been slapped away, and the Hehuan Sect's sword saint was pinned to a container by his own sword. This blood debt hadn't even been settled, yet Bai Yujing actually wanted to recruit Ye Chen?

Was the beating for nothing?

Did the dead die in vain?

The Japanese men were even more anxious.

"Lord Bai! You can't! He killed so many of our people!"

"Lord Bai, you are a Guest Elder of the Bai family. The Bai family led the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates to cooperate with our Yamaguchi-gumi. Isn't doing this a betrayal?"

"Please think twice, Lord Bai!"

...

Bai Yujing didn't even spare them a glance.

In his eyes, these Japanese men weren't even as good as ants; their opinions weren't worth a single look.

His gaze remained fixed on Ye Chen, waiting for his answer.

Ye Chen looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"Oh? Instead of killing me, you're starting to try and recruit me?"

"You people change your faces faster than turning the pages of a book."

"Just a moment ago you were shouting for blood, and now you want me to join the Bai family?"

"What? Is it because you feel you can't kill me, so you've changed methods and want to keep me like a pet?"

Bai Yujing's brow furrowed slightly as he shook his head.

"I did not mean that."

"I simply do not wish to see a genius fall just like that."

"With your aptitude and talent, it would be too much of a pity if you died in the conflicts of the Kunlun Ruins."

"The Bai family can provide you with protection, resources, and everything you need."

"And you only need to do one thing..."

He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Ye Chen. "Submit."

After hearing this, Ye Chen wasn't angry, wasn't furious, and had no emotional fluctuations.

In fact...

He didn't answer directly, but instead brought up another matter: "I'm actually curious about one thing."

Bai Yujing was slightly taken aback.

Ye Chen continued, "If you tell me, I might consider it."

Bai Yujing's brow furrowed even tighter: "What is it?"

Ye Chen looked at him and said each word deliberately.

"Why did your Bai family have a group of nuns kidnap Bai Shanshan?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yujing's expression changed instantly: "How would you know that?"

Ye Chen looked at him, his smile deepening.

"Because I was the one who ruined your plans."

"That buddha head is also mine."

"You not only wanted to kidnap my friend but also wanted to steal my things..."

"Do you think there's any point in us continuing to talk?"

Bai Yujing's face darkened completely, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his narrow eyes.

"So it was you."

"My Bai family is determined to have that buddha head."

"You took something you shouldn't have taken and ruined something you shouldn't have ruined."

"Ye Chen, I will give you one last chance."

"Hand over the buddha head, hand over the bronze key, and hand over those three people from the Ancient Tomb Sect."

"Then, join the Bai family."

"This is the greatest mercy I can show you."

Ye Chen shrugged. "Are you finished?"

Bai Yujing's brow furrowed.

Ye Chen sighed and shook his head. "If you're finished, then start the fight. You're being all talkative and hesitant like an old woman."

The entire audience: "???"

Bai Yujing's face turned completely black, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Since he had become famous, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.

This guy was definitely the first!

He was enraged: "Ye Chen, you're looking for death!"

Ye Chen put his hands in his pockets.

"I don't know if I'm looking for death, but I know that if you don't make a move soon, the sun will be up."

"I'm in a hurry to go back and sleep."

"Fight if you're going to fight, or kneel down and accept your death if you're not. Don't waste my time here."

Bai Yujing's chest heaved violently a few times as he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his chest.

"Fine."

"Fine, Ye Chen."

"Since you insist on seeking death, then I shall fulfill your wish."

He raised his right hand, fingers spread wide, and that ball of golden light condensed in his palm again, more intense and dazzling than before.

The pressure of the Late Golden Core Stage surged out of his body like something physical, crushing out in all directions.

The ground of the port began to tremble, distant containers rattled from the airwaves, and waves rose on the sea surface.

The people around them retreated one after another, their faces pale.

"Back! Move back quickly!"

"A Late Golden Core Stage expert going all out is no joke!"

"My god, is this the strength of a Bai family Guest Elder? It's too terrifying!"

...

Yan Qingwu pulled Shen Qingyi back repeatedly, while Shu Yuan and Jiang Daoxuan protected their sides, their expressions solemn.

"Uncle-Master Jiang, do you think Mr. Ye can win?" Shu Yuan asked in a low voice.

Jiang Daoxuan took a deep breath. "He can win."

Shu Yuan was startled.

"You have that much confidence?"

Jiang Daoxuan glanced at him. "It's not that I have confidence, it's that Mr. Ye is inherently unfathomable."

Shu Yuan thought about it and felt it made a lot of sense.

Suddenly!

Bai Yujing moved.

He raised his right foot and lightly took a step forward.

With just that one step, the entire port shook.

The bluestone slabs beneath him cracked in all directions from his foot, the fissures spreading like a spiderweb for over ten meters.

Immediately after.

His figure disappeared from the spot.

It wasn't that he was too fast to see, but that he truly disappeared.

Not even an afterimage was left behind.

He just vanished into thin air from everyone's sight.

"Where is he?"

"He's gone!"

"What kind of movement technique is this?"

...

Exclamations rose one after another.

But before anyone could react, Ye Chen also moved.

He slightly tilted his body to the side.

It was this one insignificant movement that allowed Bai Yujing's punch, which had appeared out of nowhere beside him, to brush past the edge of his clothes.

The wind from the punch whistled, smashing into a container over ten meters behind Ye Chen.

Boom!!!

The container looked as if it had been hit by a cannonball, instantly denting inward with a huge crater, and the entire box slid back several meters, crashing into the container behind it.

The iron sheet tore open, and the goods inside scattered all over the ground.

The entire scene was horrified.

If this punch had hit a person, let alone a body of flesh and blood, even a steel plate would have been smashed through.

But Ye Chen had just tilted his body and dodged it effortlessly.

Bai Yujing's brow twisted into a knot.

His movement technique was Shrinking Ground to an Inch, a secret technique of the Bai family.

With one step, he could cross dozens of yards, his body seemingly hidden in the void, making it impossible to defend against.

Relying on this movement technique, he had ambushed countless powerful enemies.

But today, in front of Ye Chen, his Shrinking Ground to an Inch was like a child's game—it was seen through at a glance?

"Interesting."

Bai Yujing snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared again.

This time, he didn't attack directly but flashed continuously around Ye Chen.

Left.

Right.

Front.

Back.

Every time he flashed, it was accompanied by a punch or a palm strike.

Each punch was solid, and each palm strike carried a gust of wind.

The speed was so fast it was dazzling; his form couldn't be seen clearly at all.

But Ye Chen stood where he was, hands in his pockets, feet moving slightly as he dodged left and right, evading all of Bai Yujing's attacks one by one.

Not a single punch hit him.

Not a single palm touched him.

He hadn't even brushed against the edge of his clothes.

Bai Yujing's face grew uglier and uglier.

His attacks became faster, more ruthless, and more dense.

But Ye Chen was like a slippery loach; he was clearly right there, yet he couldn't be caught no matter what.

"Is dodging all you can do?" Bai Yujing barked.

Ye Chen dodged a punch and said indifferently, "It's not dodging; I'm humoring you."

"Humoring me?" Bai Yujing laughed out of extreme anger. "Ye Chen, you are too arrogant!"

Ye Chen shrugged. "Am I arrogant? No, no, no... it's just that your Shrinking Ground to an Inch is too much of a knockoff."

Shrinking Ground to an Inch—he knew it too.

But what he knew was more profound, more mysterious, and more unpredictable, unlike this move Bai Yujing was using, which was full of holes...

Bai Yujing's face turned cold. "Who are you calling a knockoff???"
