10: With one palm, he repelled the pressure of the quasi-emperor, showing the strength of Yan Lao!

With a crisp 'crack!', Ye Feng's right arm was mercilessly severed by the blood-colored scythe.

The powerful Chaos Annihilation energy instantly clung to the severed limb like a maggot, frantically corroding Ye Feng's wound.

Even though Ye Feng used all his strength, mobilizing the immortal energy within his body to try and mend his severed arm, it had no effect whatsoever.

At the same time, the Chaos Annihilation energy continued to devour his life force, causing him immense pain.

Suddenly, a strong sense of fear welled up, Ye Feng's face turned ashen, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Before he could recover, Xuan Tianchen leaped, his figure swift as lightning, and directly kicked him in the forehead.

This kick contained the force of a thunderbolt, and Ye Feng was instantly sent flying like a cannonball, crashing to the ground and creating a huge crater, sending dust flying.

Xuan Tianchen then dispersed the blood-colored scythe in his palm, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared like a ghost before the dying Ye Feng in the ruins.

Xuan Tianchen looked down at him from above, his eyes devoid of any pity.

Xuan Tianchen slowly beckoned and sucked, and a powerful suction force instantly lifted Ye Feng into his hand, as if he were carrying a dead dog.

"Who exactly are you? How dare you be so presumptuous within my Ye Clan's territory? Aren't you afraid that my Ye Clan's Old Ancestor will kill you?"

Ye Feng, with his last breath, struggled to shout, his voice hoarse and weak.

Every word seemed to exhaust all his strength, and his eyes burned with the flames of anger and unwillingness.

Even at this moment, Ye Feng still hadn't realized the gravity of the situation.

He propped up his body, trying to maintain his last shred of dignity, but he didn't know that his fate was already sealed.

Xuan Tianchen heard this and merely let out a playful laugh, his smile filled with disdain.

"This Imperial Son is right here, call all the old geezers of your Ye Clan!" His voice was icy and piercing, as if from the depths of the nine netherworld, carrying endless coldness.

"Imperial Scion? You are Xuan Clan Imperial Son Xuan Tianchen!" Ye Feng finally came to his senses, his face instantly turning pale, as if struck by lightning.

His eyes widened, filled with terror and regret.

Being within the Ye Clan's territory, and as a mountain gate elder, Ye Feng had always had a strong sense of superiority, believing that no one could act presumptuously here.

From the very beginning, he hadn't paid proper attention to Xuan Tianchen's words, otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

At this moment, he realized what a fatal mistake he had made, and his heart was filled with endless fear and despair.

Now, let alone his own life, if he angered Xuan Tianchen this time and caused the Xuan Clan to take their anger out on the Ye Clan, he would not be able to atone for it even with ten thousand deaths.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng's body trembled uncontrollably.

"You should feel fortunate to die by This Imperial Son's hand!"

Xuan Tianchen sneered, his laughter in Ye Feng's ears like a death knell.

Immediately after, the blood-colored power of slaughter in his palm suddenly bloomed, its light as brilliant as the scorching sun, and the powerful force caused the surrounding space to slightly warp.

Xuan Tianchen did not hesitate and directly crushed Ye Feng's head with a palm.

In an instant, a mist of blood filled the air, and Ye Feng's head instantly turned to dust.

Xuan Tianchen then held the headless corpse he had left behind with one hand, his posture swift as lightning, and flew towards where the Ye Clan stood.

His speed was extreme, leaving a trail of blood-colored afterimages behind him.

After Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan had completely entered the airspace above the Ye Clan, Xuan Tianchen directly hurled Ye Feng's corpse towards one of the Ye Clan's pavilions.

With a 'boom!' a loud noise, smoke and dust rose, and wood splinters flew.

The pavilion instantly collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.

The powerful impact caused deep cracks to appear on the ground, spreading outwards.

Inside the Ye Clan's main hall, Patriarch Ye's eyelids had been twitching uncontrollably since a moment ago.

An ominous premonition surged in his heart, a strong sense of crisis welling up.

"What exactly happened?" Hearing the loud noise outside, Patriarch Ye stood up abruptly, his face terribly grim.

His figure flashed, instantly appearing outside the main hall.

When he saw Xuan Tianchen in the air and Ye Feng's headless corpse in the ruins nearby, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Who are you, and what is the meaning of this act?" Patriarch Ye glared at Xuan Tianchen, asking in a stern and furious tone.

His words were like rolling thunder, exploding in the air, each word containing endless anger and majesty.

At the same time, a powerful Quasi-Emperor Might surged forth like a turbulent tide, sweeping up with overwhelming force, pressing down on Xuan Tianchen from all directions.

Wherever the pressure passed, the space of this firmament could not withstand this force, emitting continuous 'creaking' sounds of being overburdened.

Elder Yan, seeing this, his face immediately sank, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Presumptuous!"

He saw him strike out without hesitation, immortal light flashing in his palm, and the power of laws intertwined.

A vast and magnificent force instantly erupted, directly repelling Patriarch Ye's Quasi-Emperor Might in an instant.

That power was like an invisible giant wall, indestructible, firmly protecting Xuan Tianchen.

"Dare to make another move, and you'll bear the consequences!" Elder Yan said in a deep voice.

This scene fell into Patriarch Ye's eyes, causing his eyes to slightly narrow, and a hint of surprise and vigilance flashed in his pupils.

After all, he was a Quasi-Emperor Expert, and besides Immortal Emperors, they were the beings standing at the peak of cultivation.

Even if the opponent was a peak Saint King cultivator, under the huge essential difference in realms, they would absolutely not have the strength to repel his pressure so easily.

Amidst his shock, Patriarch Ye looked at Xuan Tianchen, his eyes flickering with thought.

Xuan Tianchen had left the Xuan Clan to temper himself in the myriad heavens when he was young and had never visited the Ye Clan, so Patriarch Ye was seeing Xuan Tianchen for the first time now.

Seeing him act so presumptuously within the Ye Clan's territory, killing Ye Clan members without any scruples.

As the Patriarch Ye and a Quasi-Emperor Expert, how could the raging anger in his heart not burn like a blazing inferno?

However, Elder Yan was able to repel his Quasi-Emperor Might with just a palm strike using Saint Realm power, which was truly a bit too strange.

Patriarch Ye could only forcefully suppress the anger that was about to erupt immediately, after all, this was where the Ye Clan resided, and fighting would harm the innocent.

Furthermore, reason told him that things were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface.

After all, possessing a powerful Saint Realm expert as a guard, the young man in front of him must have a significant background.

At this moment, Xuan Tianchen crossed his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, forming a cold sneer.

Xuan Tianchen naturally knew Elder Yan's true strength all too well, and he was not surprised when he repelled the Quasi-Emperor Might with a single palm strike.

He said disdainfully, "What do you mean? Your Ye Clan's people are truly arrogant!

This Imperial Son came to visit your Ye Clan today with good intentions and sincerity.

I had just entered this vast sea of immortal clouds, my feet not even firmly planted, when I was inexplicably and rudely blocked by your Ye Clan's mountain gate elder.

Not only did he speak ill of This Imperial Son, but he even tried to attack This Imperial Son.

Now you actually ask This Imperial Son what this act means, This Imperial Son would like to ask what your Ye Clan means?

Are you trying to make an enemy of my Xuan Clan, or do you simply not put my Xuan Clan in your eyes?"

As Xuan Tianchen's words came out, Patriarch Ye felt as if a thunderbolt had suddenly exploded in his mind, and his heart immediately shook: this person in front of him was actually the Xuan Clan Imperial Son!

His eyes instantly widened, his face filled with shock, his expression seeming to freeze at this moment.

Amidst his shock, Patriarch Ye quickly recovered, and his face immediately broke into a smile as he hastily cupped his fists and politely said, "This old man, Patriarch Ye, welcomes the Imperial Scion to my Ye Clan!

I did not know it was the Imperial Scion's esteemed presence earlier, and there were many offenses, which is truly our Ye Clan's fault."

Patriarch Ye then bowed slightly, his attitude extremely respectful, "The matter just now was truly a misunderstanding. This old man apologizes to the Imperial Scion here, and I ask for the Imperial Scion's understanding!"

"Oh, really?" Xuan Tianchen crossed his arms and smiled faintly, but no emotion could be seen in his smile.

Then he continued, "This Imperial Son killed all of your Ye Clan's mountain gate elders, and you're not angry?"

His eyes stared directly at Patriarch Ye, as if trying to see through his heart.

"They were blind and didn't recognize the Imperial Scion's true face, offending the Imperial Scion, so they died!"

These unseeing wretches, having offended the Imperial Scion,

Even if the Imperial Scion did not punish them, my Ye Clan would certainly not let them off lightly. They deserved to die, and the Imperial Scion's actions are not inappropriate."

Patriarch Ye said without hesitation, not a trace of regret on his face.

This was the majesty of an Imperial Clan; even a Quasi-Emperor had to bow obediently before the Xuan Clan.

"It seems your Ye Clan is not all good-for-nothings; there are still sensible people!

Since Patriarch Ye is so understanding, This Imperial Son will not pursue this matter further.

This Imperial Son came today to see This Imperial Son's fiancée, so I trouble Patriarch Ye to make arrangements."

The corner of Xuan Tianchen's mouth curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Please, Imperial Scion, enter the hall and rest for a moment. This old man will notify Ling'er to come right away!"

"Good!" In just an instant, Xuan Tianchen, accompanied by Elder Yan, stepped into the main hall!
