“We were wrong!”
Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Lin Tie, who was ranked 86th on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard, was killed by Ye Chen on the spot despite his intermediate-level martial venerable cultivation base. He was so fast that they could not react in time.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it.
Meanwhile, Tong Shuhui, who was behind Luo Shuiyao, took a deep breath in. She looked at Ye Chen with great surprise again.
Although she had heard about Ye Chen’s achievements more than once, including how Ye Chen killed Xiao Yang and the rest, she did not care much about it.
Firstly, she thought the rumors might be exaggerated.
Secondly, she thought even if the rumors were true, it was nothing. After all, Xiao Yang and the rest were considered the younger generation of the ten ancient families of Shang Santian. They were not even considered geniuses. If it were their Luo family’s side, there would also be people who could do it.
However, with Lin Tie’s death, she finally realized how extraordinary Ye Chen was!
At the same time, the Xiao family’s side was filled with gloominess.
Their faces were filled with disbelief.
Even Bai Shaoyu and Xiao Yuanjing’s pupils constricted slightly. They were the most powerful ones among everyone, so they had seen more than the rest.
When Ye Chen attacked earlier, they clearly saw that Ye Chen’s attack was aimed at Lin Tie’s neck from the front. It was not a sneak attack.
Despite Lin Tie’s powerful frontal attack, Ye Chen managed to sever his head first!
What kind of terrifying speed was that?!
“Great, that’s just great!”
A furious laughter suddenly burst out among the crowd.
Lin Fulong stood up immediately and looked at Ye Chen with killing intent filling his eyes, “I didn’t expect that you’re such a despicable person to have ambushed Lin Tie!”
Lin Tie was killed!
It was equivalent to slapping his face and the Lin family’s face!
How could he tolerate that?!
“Bullsh*t!”
Upon hearing his shameless claim, Luo Shuiyao could not help but curse, “Lin Fulong, which eye of yours saw Ye Chen do an ambush? If you can’t afford to lose, just say it!”
“Luo Shuiyao, are you sure your family wants to go against my family?”
At that moment, Lin Fulong’s gaze was terrifyingly grim. If he did not care about Tong Shuhui, Xiang Nan, and the rest, he would have killed Ye Chen long ago!
“Lin Fulong, stop threatening me with those words. With so many eyes watching, it’s impossible for you to lie through your teeth!”
Luo Shuiyao said without backing down, “Besides, when has my family ever been afraid of your Lin family? You’re not even my brother’s match, let alone those old farts of your Lin family who aren’t matches for the older generation of my family!”
“You…” Lin Fulong was furious.
“Enough!”
Right at that moment, a furious voice sounded.
Xiao Yuanjing took a good look at Ye Chen. An unknown expression flashed through his eyes. Subsequently, he looked at Lin Fulong and said, “Fulong, Lin Tie’s death was not in vain. Your Lin family underestimated his ability. If you’re willing to bet, you must admit defeat.”
Lin Fulong’s expression changed instantly, as if he was unwilling, “Young Master Xiao!”
The Lin family only had one netherworld token. Once they admitted that they had lost, would that not mean that they had to hand over the netherworld token?
Xiao Yuanjing looked over indifferently, “Yes?”
Lin Fulong gritted his teeth when he met Ye Chen’s gaze. He lifted his hand and waved. A ray of dark gleam landed in Ye Chen’s hand. It was a netherworld token with the word ‘hell’ on it.
He glared at Ye Chen and said threateningly, “Brat, I hope that you can stay alive to keep the netherworld token in your hand!”
“That’s not something you should worry about!”
Ye Chen chuckled softly and lifted his hand to wave. The extra netherworld token in his hand landed in Luo Shuiyao’s hand.
Luo Shuiyao was caught off guard. She looked at him in shock with her beautiful eyes. She could not react in time, “Ye Chen, what are you doing?”
Ye Chen said while smiling lightly, “Didn’t your family lose your netherworld token? Take this as a gift from me!”
“Huh?”
Luo Shuiyao was stunned, “B-But you risked your life for it!”
She did not expect Ye Chen to give her the netherworld token.
One must know that there were only eight netherworld tokens in total. Even the ten ancient families fought to death for them. However, Ye Chen tossed one to her as if it was scrap metal.
Tong Shuhui, who was standing aside, was shocked as well. She reminded her grumpily, “Since Ye Chen has good intentions, take it!”
She was starting to envy Luo Shuiyao at that moment!
If she had known Ye Chen earlier and established a good relationship with him, the netherworld token might have belonged to the Tong family now.
Even Xiang Nan and Liu Yunfeng were envious.
Luo Shuiyao took it eventually and said in all seriousness, “Don’t worry, Ye Chen. I won’t take advantage of you for nothing. I owe you a favor on behalf of the Luo family.”
Her words were meant for everyone to hear.
Lin Fulong wished he could tear Ye Chen apart when he heard that.
‘Damn brat!
You took something from my family and used it to please the Luo family. You sure know how to do business!
“Don’t worry, this wouldn’t be the last piece!”
Ye Chen chuckled softly. He looked at the Xiao family’s side coldly again and enunciated word for word, “Who else wants to get up here to die?”
The entire hall fell into a dead silence hearing what he said!
A few seconds later, the entire hall was in an uproar.
“Did I hear it right? It looks like this guy wants to continue fighting!”
“Arrogant, this guy is too arrogant!”
“He’s looking down on us. We have to kill him!”
Even Luo Shuiyao and the rest were stunned.
Luo Shuiyao was stunned at first. Subsequently, she walked to Ye Chen and pulled him anxiously, “Ye Chen, listen to me. Let’s not go on!”
It was beyond her expectation that Ye Chen would come back after winning a piece. She did not expect him to not give up and wanted to go on.
Tong Shuhui frowned and said, “Ye Chen, stop before you go too far!”
From her point of view, everyone had been talking about Ye Chen’s battle prowess earlier, especially the Lin family. If this went on, Xiao Yuanjing would definitely send powerhouses.
Not only would Ye Chen fail to keep the netherworld token in his hand, he would also die!
“Alright, you’re the one who’s asking for it!”
Lin Fulong immediately laughed out loud and gave Du Zong a look, “Du Zong, it’s time for your family to make a move. Don’t bring disgrace to your family!”
“Don’t worry, Fulong. Since this brat wants to die, my family will fulfil his wish. My family will definitely get back that netherworld token of yours!”
Du Zong let out a sinister laugh and turned around to look at the young man behind him, “Du Xuan, go ahead. As long as you can kill that brat, the family will reward you with 50 Pure Yang Pills!”
Fifty Pure Yang Pills!
Everyone gasped the moment that was said.
The Du family was so generous!
They were clearly getting serious!
However, what Ye Chen’s said next stunned everyone, “There’s no need to take turns. All of you can fight me at once!”
