639: Chapter 639: Solving it all at once saves trouble!

Countless thoughts flashed through Yamamoto Ichiki's mind, and he finally reached a conclusion...

He could not compete with Ye Chen.

Once they started fighting, his group would definitely be completely wiped out.

Even the elders of the Emperors Gate had been killed; what did a Peak Celestial Master Realm like him count for?

Therefore...

He would cooperate for now and see what the man actually wanted to do.

With this thought in mind...

Yamamoto Ichiki took a deep breath and slowly extended his right fist.

And then...

He gave Ye Chen's chest a light tap.

The force was lighter than a tickle.

"Is this okay?"

Yamamoto Ichiki asked cautiously.

As a result...

Ye Chen's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He abruptly retreated two or three steps, clutching his chest, his face written all over with "agony."

"Ouch!"

"It hurts so much!"

"I'm injured!"

The entire audience: "???"

The members of the Tachi Sect: "???"

Yamamoto Ichiki: "???"

He looked down at his own fist, then looked up at Ye Chen's "heart-wrenching" expression, and his brain momentarily short-circuited.

That punch of his couldn't even kill a mosquito, okay?

Who are you acting for?

Ignoring his shock, Ye Chen turned his head and shouted toward Chu Niubi.

"Did you see that?"

Chu Niubi froze for a moment, then immediately nodded vigorously.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

"He used his little fist to punch your chest!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Yamamoto Ichiki, his gaze instantly turning cold: "Then I shall act in self-defense!"

Yamamoto Ichiki: "???"

All the Japanese men present: "???"

Self-defense?

You call this self-defense?

Clearly, you were the one who told Yamamoto Ichiki to hit you, and the man only lightly touched you, yet you want to act in self-defense?

Isn't this a fucking setup?

Yamamoto Ichiki finally reacted, his face flushing bright red.

"baka! You're setting me up!"

"You're playing foul!"

Ye Chen looked at him with an innocent face.

"Setting you up? Who's setting anyone up?"

"You hit me, and I hit back; it's only natural."

"This is called self-defense, do you understand?"

Yamamoto Ichiki trembled with rage: "You... you..."

Ye Chen waved his hand impatiently.

"Enough with the 'you, you, you' business."

"Let's finish this up and call it a day."

Having said that...

He raised his right foot.

Then...

He kicked out.

That kick landed squarely on Yamamoto Ichiki's chest.

Yamamoto Ichiki's body instantly curled up like a shrimp, and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

He didn't even have time to let out a scream before his entire body was launched backward like it had been hit by a cannonball, his feet leaving the ground as he flew at a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye.

"Boom!"

His back slammed into the doorframe of the main house, and the wooden door shattered instantly.

But it wasn't over yet.

That terrifying force didn't diminish at all, carrying him through the main house, smashing through the back window, flying into the backyard, and finally embedding him into the backyard's perimeter wall.

The entire wall collapsed with a roar, and the broken bricks buried him underneath, leaving only a bloodied head exposed.

His eyes were still open, staring fixedly at the sky, his pupils completely dilated.

Until the moment of his death, he never understood...

He had only lightly tapped the man's chest; how did he end up dead?

In the front yard...

The warriors of the Tachi Sect stood frozen in place, their faces pale and their legs shaking like sieves.

They hadn't even seen how Ye Chen had kicked.

They only saw an afterimage flash past, and then their Vice Sect Leader was gone.

Gone!

A dignified powerhouse of the Peak Celestial Master Realm hadn't even lasted a single move before dying like that?

"Thud!"

A young warrior's legs went soft, and he knelt directly on the ground.

With someone leading the way, the others could no longer hold it together.

"Thud!"

"Thud!!"

"Thud!!!"

Over a dozen black-clad warriors knelt in unison, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

"Lord, please spare our lives!"

"We were only following orders; we beg your lordship to grant us a way to live!"

"I don't want to die! I want to go back to Japan, see the cherry blossoms, and eat rice balls!"

...

Standing at the main gate, Chu Niubi watched this scene, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor.

Holy shit!

As expected of Master, he's just that fierce!

With one kick, he killed the Celestial Master who had been such a headache for the Chu family!!!

Suddenly!

An angry voice erupted from the crowd.

"Bakayaro!"

A young man wearing a black martial arts suit suddenly stood up from the ground, his entire body trembling.

His eyes were bloodshot like a crazed beast as he strode to the backyard, dug Yamamoto Ichiki's corpse out from the pile of collapsed bricks, and held it in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Lord Yamamoto!!!"

He roared hoarsely, his voice filled with grief and indignation.

Then...

He whipped his head around and stared fixedly at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

"You! Bakayaro!"

"You actually killed Lord Yamamoto!"

"The Emperors Gate will not let you get away with this!"

"My Tachi Sect is an affiliate of the Emperors Gate; by killing our Vice Sect Leader, the Emperors Gate will surely fight you to the death!"

Ye Chen, who had originally intended to turn and leave, paused slightly.

He tilted his head and looked at the young man holding the corpse, raising an eyebrow: "Oh? An affiliate of the Emperors Gate?"

The young man gritted his teeth, forcing words out one by one from between them.

"That's right!"

"My Tachi Sect has served the Emperors Gate for generations, you..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because Ye Chen had already raised his right hand and casually flicked it toward him.

Before the young man's words could land, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Because...

He saw a giant, golden, ethereal palm manifest out of thin air, its five fingers spread wide, striking toward him with an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.

"yamete..."

He only had time to let out a shrill scream before the giant palm struck.

In the next second...

The young man, along with Yamamoto Ichiki's corpse in his arms, flew toward the other side of the perimeter wall.

"Bang!!!"

Both their bodies were deeply embedded into the blue-brick wall, the bricks shattering and cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb.

The young man's body was completely deformed, his limbs twisted at impossible angles...

Dead.

They were all dead.

Dead as could be.

The Tachi Sect warriors kneeling on the ground were scared out of their wits; some slumped directly to the floor, some held their heads and trembled, and some had already wet their pants.

A devil!

This man is a devil!

He kills at the slightest disagreement!

They didn't even dare to look at Ye Chen again.

Ye Chen withdrew his hand and expressionlessly scanned the kneeling Tachi Sect warriors.

"I'll give your Tachi Sect a chance."

No one dared to look up.

Ye Chen continued.

"Now, make the calls and summon everyone from your Tachi Sect here."

"Whether they are in the Kunlun Ruins, in Japan, or anywhere else in the world."

"Call them all."

"If we're going to solve this, we'll solve it all at once."

He paused, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly; the smile was clearly very gentle, yet it made everyone present feel a chill down their spines.

"By the way, remember not to mention me."

"Just say you've encountered trouble in Dragon Country and need backup."

"Otherwise..."

"It won't be fun anymore."

Chu Niubi grinned at the stunned Japanese Warriors.

"Did you hear that? Hurry up and make the calls!"

How could those warriors dare to say no?

They all nodded frantically, fumbling to pull out their phones and starting to dial numbers with trembling fingers.

Chu Niubi gave a satisfied huff and then asked.

"Master, what do you call this move? Luring the snake out of its hole? Catching them all in one net?"

Ye Chen stood with his hands in his pockets and explained calmly.

"It's called saving trouble."

"Finding them one by one is too troublesome; it's much better to have them deliver themselves to the door."

Chu Niubi gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

"Master, I couldn't even catch up to your train of thought if I tried!"

Ye Chen gave him a sidelong glance: "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"

Chu Niubi hurriedly waved his hands, looking sincere: "Complimenting! Definitely complimenting! Master, this operation of yours is a textbook example of saving trouble!"

Ye Chen couldn't be bothered with him and turned to look at the Tachi Sect warriors who had already put down their phones.

"Finished the calls?"

The leading warrior knelt on the ground, nodding like a woodpecker: "Re... report, my lord, they are all finished. The Sect Leader said he will personally bring all the elites over."

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"You are very 'yoshi', so I shall show a little mercy."

The Tachi Sect warriors suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

"Lord! You... you're going to let us go?"

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"

"We will definitely scramble back to the depths of the Kunlun Ruins and never set foot in Dragon Country again!"

...

Several warriors were so excited their eyes turned red, and they kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads making thumping sounds against the bluestone ground.

Ye Chen looked down at them and said nonchalantly.

"No, I just plan to give you a quick death."

Tachi Sect warriors: "???"

Huh?

Not letting them go, but giving them a quick death???

Someone couldn't hold it in: "nani? Aren't you just playing with us?"

"Am I?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, "Giving you a quick death is indeed showing mercy; otherwise, I'd have to torture you first."

Tachi Sect warriors: "???"

Damn it!

He's too much of a devil...

"No..."

The leading warrior had just opened his mouth, but before he could utter a second word...

Ye Chen's right foot had already stomped down.

"Boom!!!"

A massive roar erupted in the courtyard like an earthquake.

With Ye Chen at the center, a visible ring of golden airwaves expanded in all directions.

Wherever the airwave passed, the bluestone ground shattered inch by inch like glass struck by a giant hammer, and fragments of stone shot out like cannonballs.

Then...

The dozen or so Tachi Sect warriors kneeling on the ground were hit head-on by this airwave.

Their bodies stiffened instantly, as if pierced by countless sharp blades at once; their clothes shredded, and blood splattered.

Without even having time to scream, the dozen figures were launched backward in all directions.
