93: Unrivaled!

Crack!

However, before Ox Head could even retreat, the crisp sound of bone shattering echoed out!

In the next second...

His entire right arm bent at a bizarre angle, and he stumbled back, howling in agony.

Meanwhile, Tiger Head's claws had already reached for Ye Chen's ribs!

Without even looking, Ye Chen's left hand darted out like a butterfly through flowers, precisely grabbing Tiger Head's wrist, then twisting and throwing him in one fluid motion!

Bang!

Tiger Head was swung up and smashed like a human sandbag into Rabbit Head and Dragon Head, who were pouncing from the side!

Rabbit Head was agile and narrowly avoided the collision.

Dragon Head, however, couldn't dodge in time and was struck squarely in the chest by Tiger Head. The two rolled into a heap, knocking over two mahogany dining tables as the sound of shattering cups and plates rang out incessantly.

From the moment the Thirteen Death Zodiacs attacked to three being sent flying and two rolling on the ground, only a blink of an eye had passed!

The guests in the hall were dumbstruck, even forgetting to cry out in alarm.

My goodness!

Not only are Mr. Ye's medical skills heavenly, but his martial arts achievements are also incredibly badass???

Zhao Tiangang's pupils shrank abruptly, a solemn expression appearing on his face for the first time.

Ghost Old Man and Scalpel Man turned even paler, subconsciously taking half a step back... They had personally experienced Ye Chen's prowess yesterday, but seeing him again today, he seemed even more terrifying!

"All together!"

Man Face finally spoke.

Hearing this, the remaining eight Zodiacs held nothing back, pouncing from all directions simultaneously!

Flash of blades!

Shadow of swords!

Wind from fists!

Shadow of legs!

They wove together into a web of death, completely enveloping Ye Chen!

A cold light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

The power of his inheritance surged through his body like a tide. He stepped out in the profound patterns of the Tiangang Step, his figure weaving through the flashes of blades and shadows of swords like a ghost.

He no longer held back.

With one punch, the scimitar in Sheep Head's hand snapped, and the man spat blood as he was sent flying!

With a side kick, Monkey Head's agile movement technique didn't have time to be deployed before he was kicked in the waist and abdomen, snapping a hall pillar!

With a backhand palm strike, he hit the side of the longsword Rooster Head was thrusting. The sword hummed and vibrated, flying out of his hand and pinning itself into the ceiling!

With every strike, one person was bound to fall!

The combined attack technique the Thirteen Death Zodiacs were so proud of was like paper before Ye Chen, utterly fragile!

In just half a minute...

Ten of the Thirteen Death Zodiacs were already down!

Only Man Face, Dog Head, and Pig Head remained barely standing, but their faces were bloodless, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

A crushing defeat!

A pure, unadulterated crushing!

Zhao Tiangang's face turned ashen.

The assassins he had spent a billion to hire were actually that fragile?

He stared fixedly at Ye Chen and squeezed out three words through his teeth: "A Grandmaster?"

In the path of martial arts, there are the three ranks of Heaven, Earth, and Man, followed by Master, and then Grandmaster!

Someone who can defeat thirteen Master-level existences single-handedly... must be at the Grandmaster level!

But how old was that kid?

Ye Chen put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently,

"Whatever you think I am, that's what I am!"

Before his voice finished echoing, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Man Face!

Man Face turned pale with horror, the pair of Judge's Pens in his hands rapidly striking at Ye Chen's major acupoints.

This was his trump card ultimate technique, specifically designed to break a Grandmaster's Astral Qi!

However... Ye Chen still didn't dodge, letting the Judge's Pens strike his body.

Clang! Clang!

Two crisp sounds rang out, as if striking refined steel!

Despair appeared in Man Face's eyes!

How is this possible?

His Judge's Pens could pierce through three inches of steel plate, yet they couldn't break the opponent's protective Astral Qi?

Just... how strong is he???

Before he could react, Ye Chen threw a punch into his chest.

Pfft—

Man Face sprayed a mouthful of blood, his chest caving in. He was sent flying like a tattered bag, hitting the wall and sliding down limply, no longer showing any signs of life.

Seeing this, Dog Head and Pig Head were scared out of their wits. They turned and fled!

Ye Chen let out a cold snort, flicked up a broken blade from the ground with his toe, and kicked it into the air!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two flashes of cold light zipped past!

Dog Head and Pig Head froze simultaneously, stumbled a few steps, and collapsed to the ground.

Half a blade was embedded in each of their backs, right through the heart.

The Thirteen Death Zodiacs were completely wiped out!

Inside the banquet hall, there was a deathly silence.

All the guests stared with wide eyes and open mouths, like clay sculptures or wooden carvings.

The hundred-plus men in black behind Zhao Tiangang were also frozen in place, the hands holding their weapons trembling slightly.

Zhao Tiangang's face was as pale as paper. He stared fixedly at Ye Chen, fear finally appearing in his eyes.

His greatest reliance, the Black Prison's Thirteen Death Zodiacs, had been slaughtered as easily as chopping vegetables by this young man in just a few minutes?!

What kind of monster is this?!

Ye Chen walked toward Zhao Tiangang Step by step.

"Now, it's your turn."

He stopped in front of Zhao Tiangang and spoke calmly.

"Will you kneel down yourself to join your grandson in the afterlife,"

"Or should I help you?"

Zhao Tiangang suddenly took a step back and roared shrilly, "Attack! Kill him! Whoever kills him gets a billion!!!"

Under a heavy reward, there will surely be brave men.

A flicker of hesitation passed through the eyes of the men in black, which was immediately replaced by greed and madness.

"Kill—!"

Over a hundred people roared, surging toward Ye Chen like a tide!

Blades flashed, and the battle cries shook the heavens!

They didn't believe it!

With over a hundred people, they still couldn't kill one man?

This scene caused Zhang Sansheng's face to change drastically: "Mr. Ye, be careful!"

Bing Lan subconsciously clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

But facing this surging crowd, Ye Chen only gave a faint glance.

Then.

He lifted his right foot and stomped lightly.

Buzz—!

The ground vibrated imperceptibly.

With the sole of his foot as the center, a pale gold Bagua phantom suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping the entire banquet hall!

The dozens of men in black at the front only felt a bizarre, massive force coming from beneath their feet, as if they had stepped on springs. They were thrown upward uncontrollably!

Aaaaaah—

Amidst the screams, dozens of people fell back into the crowd like dumplings being dropped into a pot, knocking everyone over!

Immediately after.

Dozens more seemed to be hit in the chest by an invisible giant hammer, groaning as they were sent flying back, knocking over tables and chairs and rolling into a heap!

In just three seconds.

More than half of the hundred-plus men in black had fallen!

The remaining people were scared out of their wits and stopped in their tracks, not daring to step forward again.

Ye Chen retracted his foot and looked at the pale Zhao Tiangang.

"Now, can you kneel?"

Zhao Tiangang's lips trembled, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew he had lost.

Lost completely and utterly.

He slowly loosened his grip, and the ebony Dragon Head cane fell to the ground with a clang.

Then.

His knees buckled.

Thud!

This "Lord of the Dao" who had dominated the provincial capital for decades actually knelt before Ye Chen in front of everyone.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

One could hear a pin drop.

Ye Chen looked down at him and spoke indifferently.

"Joining your grandson in the afterlife would be too easy for you."

"The laws of the land will be the ones to take your life."

Zhao Tiangang slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Ye Chen.

"Kid... what, what sect do you belong to?"

He had roamed the underworld for decades and had never seen such a young and terrifying existence.

That profound footwork!

That matchless, fierce fist power!

All of this was definitely not something a young man with no background could possess!

Ye Chen looked down at him, his gaze as calm as if he were looking at an ant.

"You are not worthy to know."

Just six words, yet they made Zhao Tiangang feel more stifled than any insult... Indeed... how can a defeated general talk of bravery?

Why ask more when you're about to die?

Zhao Tiangang slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Ye Chen, his mouth pulling into a twisted and wretched arc.

"The winner takes all... I accept that."

"But Ye Chen, do you think I'll be grateful if you don't kill me? Keep dreaming!"

"Today, I, Zhao Tiangang, have fallen because my skills were inferior and I underestimated you."

"But the Azure Dragon Society will not fall! I have operated in the provincial capital for decades; do you think you can completely bring it down alone?"

"As long as the Azure Dragon Society remains, and as long as my loyal brothers are still there... one day, I will make you pay the price!"

"And..."

The twisted look on his face became even more distorted, and a flash of manic pleasure appeared in his eyes.

"Do you really think that by killing my grandson Zhao Yi, you've only offended my Zhao family?"

"Hahahaha... Naive!"

"I'm telling you, there is someone behind Zhao Yi!"

"Someone that you, and even that old thing Zhou Weiguo, absolutely cannot afford to provoke!"

"By killing him, you can just wait to be hunted endlessly, with never a day of peace!"

"Hahaha..."

Zhao Tiangang laughed madly, as if he could already see Ye Chen's miserable future.

Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

There's someone behind Zhao Yi?

He hadn't considered that layer.

Damn!

This Zhao family really is like a hornet's nest.

But... so what?

Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water by earth.

Since he, Ye Chen, dared to do it, he had nothing to fear.

However, before Ye Chen could speak—

"Noisy!"

The nearby Zhou Weiguo was already furious.

"Death is at your door, yet you still dare to talk big and threaten Mr. Ye?"

"Zhao Tiangang, do you really think your Azure Dragon Society is a monolithic block that no one dares to touch?"

"I, Zhou Weiguo, will put it this way today—"

"From this moment on, the Azure Dragon Society is finished!"

He suddenly turned and shouted sternly to his attendants behind him.

"Call Director Wang of the Provincial Department!"

"Tell him that I, Zhou Weiguo, am making a real-name report. Zhao Tiangang of the Azure Dragon Society and his gang have long been engaged in illegal and criminal activities, violent monopolies, and disregard for human life. The evidence is conclusive!"

"Ask him to immediately coordinate relevant forces, set up a special task force, and conduct a comprehensive investigation and crackdown on the Azure Dragon Society!"

"If there is any resistance, tell him to use my name directly!!!"
