Brother, please spare us.

The man who had been cursing instantly beamed with joy and stepped forward to take the gold coins, but was stopped by Lan Lu Hu.

Being the leader of the group, Lan Lu Hu was naturally the most thoughtful and steady of them all.

Lan Lu Hu put away his previous playful grin and became incomparably serious.

Anyone who could casually pull out 500,000 gold coins was definitely no ordinary person.

This wasn't the money from the secular world they were used to; these were gold coins, and possessing so many was a symbol of status.

Lan Lu Hu had two guesses in his heart: either this person was a powerhouse, or he was a ruthless character just like them.

Watching the smiling Ye Chen, Lan Lu Hu gradually became cautious.

"This kid doesn't seem to have been afraid from the very beginning."

Seeing that Lan Lu Hu wasn't speaking, the people beside him grew anxious.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Take him down! 500,000 gold coins—that's more than we've ever gotten before! There are only two of them; how strong can they really be?!"

"Yeah, Big brother! 500,000 gold coins! What are you afraid of? Take him down!"

The people around them grew impatient at the sight of the 500,000 gold coins.

After all, 500,000 gold coins could buy a Level 25 five-star epic weapon!

After pondering for a moment, Lan Lu Hu finally hardened his heart and said, "Kid, since that's the case, just hand over the gold coins, and I can ensure you leave here unscathed!"

In the end, Lan Lu Hu still couldn't resist the temptation of 500,000 gold coins and issued his threat.

After all, people die for wealth just as birds die for food; the temptation of 500,000 gold coins was not something an ordinary person could resist.

As the saying goes, great wealth is sought amidst great danger!

A smile curved the corners of Ye Chen's lips. This group of people—he had given them a chance, but they were useless.

He had taken out the 500,000 gold coins to show them that he was not an ordinary person, but all they saw was the gold.

Ye Chen put the gold coins away, clasped his hands behind his back, and laughed, "What if I don't give them to you?"

"If you don't give them, you die! Let me tell you, kid, no one has ever passed through here without leaving something behind. Even if a mosquito passes through, it has to leave behind a wing!" said the second-in-command among the group.

Bang! The third-in-command smashed the wine bottle in his hand against the ground and cursed angrily, "Kid, do you know how many people like you, who would rather die than submit, have perished at our hands? It's no exaggeration to say that the corpses of those who died at our hands could dam up the river below!"

The group issued their threats, each one more vicious than the last!

Ye Chen looked at them as if they were fools and laughed, "Alright, enough nonsense. If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Hum! The Thunderclap Blade suddenly appeared in his hand.

The moment the Thunderclap Blade appeared, the eyes of Lan Lu Hu and his men went wide.

They could all tell that this Thunderclap Blade was extraordinary.

"Big brother, the weapon in this kid's hand is definitely extraordinary; it's at least a five-star epic weapon!"

Lan Lu Hu, who was usually quite calm, revealed deep greed in his eyes.

He had already decided in his heart that this kid had to be taken down.

The others slowly crowded around, the viciousness in their eyes not hidden in the slightest.

One of them chuckled, "Hehe, Big brother, kill that kid and keep the woman. I'm already sick of those other women. This one looks pretty good, and her figure is great too!"

"Yeah, Big brother, I've got my eye on her too. Old Five, let's do it together later!"

"Hehe, alright Fourth Brother! Let's see who's better!"

The two of them didn't hold back their filth and spoke loudly.

"When you guys say things like that, it's better to whisper. If people hear you, you might get your tongues cut out!"

Ye Chen's inner anger flared up instantly. They could talk about him, but if they dared to talk about Chen Ruxin, he absolutely would not allow it!

"I said it, so what are you going to do about it, kid? Later, I'll leave you with a breath of life just so you can watch us toy with your woman!"

"Haha, quite a big mouth you've got."

The two leered at Chen Ruxin, and a red figure appeared beside Ye Chen.

"Blood Asura, cut out those two men's tongues for me!"

"Alright! Hehe!"

In the blink of an eye, the Blood Asura arrived in front of the fourth man, grabbed his tongue, and pulled it out. The Blood God Scythe descended directly, and a piece of red flesh fell to the ground.

Before the fifth man standing nearby could even see what had happened, his tongue was also cut off by the Blood Asura.

"Ah!" "Ah! Mmph mmph! Aba aba!"

The fourth and fifth men let out painful wails; they wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound.

The Blood Asura returned to Ye Chen's side and giggled, "Mission accomplished!"

When Lan Lu Hu and his men saw the Blood Asura, they instantly became terrified!

"Level 28! Saint Grade!"

"Holy sh*t, Big brother, this—this kid is Level 28!"

Lan Lu Hu stood frozen in place, not saying a word. Although his expression looked very calm, his heart was already churning with stormy waves!

He knew that this time, he had kicked an iron plate!

The fourth and fifth men also widened their eyes, momentarily forgetting their pain.

A Level 28 powerhouse was not an existence they could provoke!

One had to know that above Level 25, every level represented a massive gap.

Killing those like them at Level 24 or Level 23 was just like killing little chicks.

Lan Lu Hu hurriedly said, "Little brother, I'm sorry. It was my eyes that were blind! I've wasted your precious time, and I hope you two adults won't hold a grudge against a small person like me! I apologize to you here!"

Having said that, Lan Lu Hu bowed deeply to Ye Chen.

One had to admit that this Lan Lu Hu was still a man who knew how to bend and stretch.

If he had walked the straight path, he could have made a name for himself, but unfortunately, he chose this line of work.

Hum! Ye Chen slammed the Thunderclap Blade into the ground, emitting a deafening humming sound.

"You say let it go, so I should just let it go? I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Little brother! It would be better if we didn't resort to violence. Although you are Level 28, there are only two of you after all. If we really fight, it won't do either of us any good!" Lan Lu Hu said, half-persuading and half-threatening.

Ye Chen laughed, "But if I just walk away like this, wouldn't I lose too much Face?"

Hearing this, Lan Lu Hu felt relieved, knowing there was still room for negotiation.

Lan Lu Hu immediately said, "Brother, we are willing to compensate. I am willing to offer 100,000 gold coins as compensation. As long as you are willing, all these gold coins are yours!"

After saying that, Lan Lu Hu took out 100,000 gold coins and placed them on the ground.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly said, "We are also willing to offer 10,000 gold coins!"

Before long, over 200,000 gold coins were piled up in front of Ye Chen.

"Little brother, as long as you are willing, all these gold coins are yours!"
