208: Destroy the Lu family

Ye Chen's pupils constricted sharply, and a wave of pain instantly washed over him.

He looked at the blood all over the ground, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he swallowed with difficulty, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, making a muffled "gudong" sound.

Gradually, his face turned ashen white, and large beads of sweat rolled down his temples.

Liu Ruyan stood still, her eyes filled with a complex expression.

She had originally thought Lu Chen was just a spoiled Young Lord from a wealthy Family who enjoyed pranks, but the scene before her completely overturned her perception.

Her hands subconsciously clutched her skirt, her fingertips turning white from the effort, her body trembling slightly, and her heart was a mix of emotions: "Who exactly is he? Why does he possess such powerful strength?"

Everyone around them also froze, looking terrified, their eyes wide and mouths agape, as if they could fit an egg inside.

Some even unconsciously raised their hands and rubbed their eyes, as if doubting whether they had just been dreaming.

"How is this possible? Someone can summon knives and forks, and even block bullets? Is he Superman?"

Someone in the crowd whispered, their voice filled with fear and doubt.

Ye Chen forced a swallow, straightened his back, and despite his legs still trembling uncontrollably, he still roared, putting on a brave front: "Lu Chen, do you think I'll be afraid of you like this?! I'm telling you, I am the Young Lord of the Ye Family! My previous forbearance was just me not bothering with you; do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen gently shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, a smile full of disdain and mockery, as if he were watching the comical performance of a clown.

When the people around heard Ye Chen's words, they immediately exchanged glances and started whispering to each other.

"The Ye Family? Which Ye Family? I haven't heard of them," a middle-aged man in a sharp suit said, frowning with a puzzled expression.

A woman in a lavish gown next to him chimed in, "Yes, I've lived in Yanjing City for so many years, and I've never heard of any Ye Family."

Everyone's faces were filled with confusion, discussing amongst themselves, their eyes full of bewilderment.

Ye Chen's face instantly turned ashen, the reactions of these people making him feel incredibly humiliated.

He thought to himself, these people's Rank was too low; they couldn't possibly come into contact with a behemoth like the Ye Family, so their limited knowledge was understandable.

He had initially thought that bringing so many men in black would allow him to control the situation and severely suppress Lu Chen's arrogance, but he never expected Lu Chen's strength to be so terrifying, completely exceeding his expectations.

Just as everyone was discussing, an old man with white hair slowly walked out from the crowd.

His face was etched with the marks of time, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp.

He slightly narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then suddenly widened them, and said with a trembling voice, "Could it be that Hidden Family, the Ye Family?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes immediately lit up, and a proud expression appeared on his face.

He slightly tilted his chin upwards, nostrils flared, and said smugly, "That's right! It is indeed the Hidden Ye Family!"

The old man's body trembled violently upon hearing this, and the cane in his hand almost fell.

His eyes widened even further, his wrinkled face filled with shock, and his lips trembled slightly: "It's actually the Ye Family; has the Ye Family emerged from seclusion?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, their faces showing extreme shock.

"A Hidden Family?" someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes filled with awe and fear.

In their understanding, Hidden Families were mysterious and powerful, existing beyond their reach.

Ye Chen's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, and a sense of superiority naturally arose within him.

He waved his hand, summoning several more men in black.

These men in black were tall and burly, exuding a chilling aura.

Ye Chen looked at Lu Chen coldly and said fiercely, "Let's see how you resist this time!"

"You should know that these men in black have Cultivated ancient martial arts and have already reached the Innate Realm; they are Ye Family retainers, and their strength is extremely formidable."

Ye Chen smugly gave orders to the men in black: "Show them what you can do!"

Upon hearing the command, the men in black spread their feet slightly, stabilized their stances, clenched their fists, and their muscles tensed, immediately exuding a powerful aura.

One of them quickly moved his hands, performing a powerful set of boxing Moves, the force of his punches whistling, as if tearing through the air, making "whooshing" sounds; another drew a long sword from his waist, its blade glinting with cold light, and with a flick of his wrist, he executed several beautiful sword flowers, dazzling everyone.

Seeing this, everyone was once again too shocked to speak.

Liu Ruyan's face also showed worry, fearing that these people would harm Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, however, remained calm, the faint smile still on his lips.

He unhurriedly flexed his wrists, then gently raised his hands, as if preparing for an easy game.

Seeing this, the men in black roared and pounced on Lu Chen like fierce tigers.

Their Moves were sharp and vicious, every punch carrying force, every sword strike lethal, attempting to take down Lu Chen in one fell swoop.

Lu Chen, however, moved as if strolling leisurely, his figure swiftly weaving among the men in black, easily dodging their attacks.

Whenever a black-clad man's fist or sword blade was about to touch him, he would skillfully sidestep, causing the opponent to miss.

One of the men in black seized the opportunity and threw a heavy punch directly at Lu Chen's face.

Lu Chen slightly tilted his head, easily dodging the punch, then took the opportunity to grab the man's wrist and twisted it gently, causing the man to let out a scream, his wrist limply dropping, his face full of pain.

Another man in black swung his long sword, launching a sneak attack from behind Lu Chen.

Lu Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, suddenly turning and kicking the man's wrist.

The long sword clattered to the ground, and the man in black clutched his wrist, retreating repeatedly, his eyes filled with terror.

The battle was exceptionally fierce, but Lu Chen remained at ease and unhurried under the encirclement of the men in black.

At times, he would kick a man in black, sending him sprawling; at other times, he would extend his palm and gently push, sending a man in black stumbling backward repeatedly.

Those men in black were like paper in front of him, utterly powerless to resist.

Their faces were covered in dirt, their hair disheveled, their clothes torn, and blood hung from the corners of their mouths.

Some stumbled, unable to stand steadily; others lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Lu Chen, however, stood tall and composed, as if this battle was merely a trivial pastime for him.

One of the men in black struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Ye Chen with a terrified expression, and shouted with a trembling voice, "Young Lord, run! This man is invincible!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face instantly turned deathly pale.

He never expected that the Innate masters serving the Ye Family would be so vulnerable in front of Lu Chen; his last shred of hope was completely shattered.

Ye Chen's legs went soft, and he turned to flee from this terrifying place.

However, before he could run a few steps, Lu Chen's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared behind him.

Lu Chen extended his long, strong arm and effortlessly lifted Ye Chen as if he were carrying a chick.

Ye Chen's feet dangled in the air, struggling futilely, his hands flailing wildly, and he let out terrified screams.

Lu Chen had a cold smile on his face and said faintly, "The Ye Family, huh? A Hidden Family, huh? I didn't go looking for trouble with you, but you keep provoking me again and again. Do you really think I have no temper?"

Having said that, Lu Chen dragged Ye Chen and strode towards the door.

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then immediately hurried to catch up.

The people in the hall were still immersed in the thrilling battle they had just witnessed, unable to recover for a long time.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"What exactly is going on? Who is that Lu Chen? How can he have such powerful strength?" a young man in a refined suit asked, his face full of bewilderment.

"Yes, and that Ye Chen, he's actually the Young Lord of the Hidden Family, the Ye Family, but how could he be beaten so badly by Lu Chen?" a woman in a magnificent dress murmured, frowning slightly.

Everyone discussed amongst themselves, their voices growing louder and louder, and the entire hall was filled with noisy chatter.

Old Madam Liu sat in the main seat, her face terrifyingly grim.

What was supposed to be a joyous birthday banquet had now turned into such a chaotic farce; she no longer had the mood to continue it.

She sighed heavily, waved her hand, and said weakly, "That's enough for today; everyone, please disperse."

Upon hearing this, although everyone was unwilling, they could only reluctantly disperse.

On the other side, Ye Chen was thrown into the car's trunk by Lu Chen like a sack.

Ye Chen struggled desperately in the trunk, constantly cursing, "You're asking for death! You can't possibly find the Ye Family, and even if you do, there's only a dead end!"

Lu Chen ignored Ye Chen's curses, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and sped towards the Ye Family's direction.

After an unknown period, Lu Chen drove the car into a deep mountain forest.

Lu Chen stopped in front of a valley, opened the trunk, and threw Ye Chen out.

Ye Chen fell to the ground in a disheveled state; he struggled to get up, looked around, and immediately turned pale with fright.

He looked at the familiar yet strange surroundings, his heart filled with fear and despair.

"You... how did you find this place?" Ye Chen said with a trembling voice, his legs weak, almost unable to stand steadily.

Lu Chen did not answer Ye Chen's question; he strode to the front of the valley, his eyes glinting with a mysterious light.

He quickly formed hand seals, muttering incantations.

As he moved, a powerful aura permeated the air, and the space around the valley seemed to tremble slightly.

Soon, the Formation hidden around the Ye Family was broken by Lu Chen's powerful Divine Ability.

A flash of light passed, and the ancestral land of the Ye Family, originally hidden in the mist, gradually revealed itself.

The Elders of the Ye Family were Cultivating in the ancestral land when they suddenly felt the Formation being broken, and they all awoke from their Cultivation.

Their faces changed drastically, and they immediately flew over.

Soon, several Elders, dressed in ancient robes with white hair, arrived at the front of the valley.

"Arrogant brat, who dares to trespass into my Ye Family's ancestral land?" an Elder roared, his eyes wide with fury.

Lu Chen looked at these Elders coldly, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

Seeing Lu Chen's provoking demeanor, an Elder suddenly attacked first, Spiritual Qi surging around him, his robe flapping loudly.

"Asking for a beating!"

The Grand Elder, at the forefront, quickly changed his hand seals, and a ball of dark blue Spiritual Qi gathered in his palm, shimmering with light, as if containing endless power.

He roared and forcefully pushed the ball of Spiritual Qi towards Lu Chen, like a whistling cannonball, piercing through the sky and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The Second Elder was not to be outdone; he drew an ancient long sword from his waist, its blade shimmering with runes and exuding a chilling coldness.

He lightly tapped the ground with his toe, and his figure, like lightning, slashed towards Lu Chen.

The Third Elder, meanwhile, chanted incantations, rapidly drawing mysterious runes in the air with his hands.

The runes shimmered with golden light, gradually coalescing into a giant light shield that floated before him.

Then, with a push of his hands, the light shield, like a massive wall, pressed towards Lu Chen.

Facing the Elders' tempestuous attacks, Lu Chen remained calm, the faint smile still on his lips.

He stood rooted to the spot, his feet seemingly planted, unmoving.

When the Grand Elder's dark blue Spiritual Qi ball was about to hit him, Lu Chen simply raised one hand, and a faint golden light screen emerged from his palm.

The dark blue Spiritual Qi ball crashed into the light screen with a dull thud, stirring up ripples of energy.

The Second Elder's sharp sword shadow thrust towards Lu Chen, who slightly sidestepped, and the sword shadows brushed past his body.

He merely extended two fingers and gently clamped the long sword thrust by the Second Elder.

The Third Elder's golden light shield pressed down, but Lu Chen, unhurried, casually waved his other hand in the air.

In an instant, an invisible force enveloped the light shield, then violently shook it, and the light shield instantly shattered into countless golden light particles, dissipating into the air.

The Third Elder's face changed drastically, his body involuntarily retreated a few steps, his eyes filled with terror.

Seeing this, the Elders were greatly shocked.

They exchanged glances, understanding each other implicitly, and decided to launch a stronger combined attack.

The Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder formed a triangular Formation, surrounding Lu Chen in the middle, their Spiritual Qi surging wildly and resonating with each other.

They once again cast Spells, and three powerful energy pillars shot out from their hands, converging and Fusing in the air to form an even more powerful torrent of energy, rushing towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at the surging torrent of energy, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, and a brilliant purple light slowly condensed in his hands.

When the torrent of energy rushed before Lu Chen, he suddenly pushed out the purple light in his hands.

The purple light collided with the torrent of energy, instantly erupting into a strong light that illuminated the entire valley.

After the light dissipated, Lu Chen was still standing steadily in place, his clothes neat as before, without the slightest damage.

However, the Elders were thrown back by the energy impact, falling heavily to the ground.

They struggled to get up, their faces filled with fear and despair, their eyes no longer holding the arrogance and confidence they had before.

In the face of absolute strength, their resistance seemed so powerless; at this moment, they finally deeply realized that Lu Chen, before them, was an existence they could not contend with.

"He... he's actually in the Foundation Establishment Stage!" an Elder said with a trembling voice. His face was filled with shock, and his body trembled slightly.

In the Ye Family, the Qi Condensation Realm was already an extremely powerful existence, and the Foundation Establishment Stage was even a legendary Realm. Now, they had actually encountered a master of the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Lu Chen looked at these panicking Elders, without a trace of pity in his heart.

He intensified his attacks, his hands moving rapidly, and powerful waves of energy swept towards the Elders.

Under Lu Chen's attacks, the Elders retreated one after another, appearing utterly disheveled.
