The Terrifying Chen Qingqing

A single sword strike!

With just one slash, Chen Chang'an annihilated thousands of demonic beings.

It must be noted that these demons were no ordinary foes—the weakest among them were at the Immortal King realm.

After all, they were targeting the Ye Family. If their forces had been too weak, they wouldn’t have posed any real threat.

Yet, despite their overwhelming strength, Chen Chang'an had just slaughtered thousands of them in a single strike?

How terrifying was his power?

"Chen Chang'an… has he already attained the combat prowess of an Immortal Emperor?" the Ye Family Head exclaimed in shock.

"Indeed!"

"Not only does he possess the strength of an Immortal Emperor, but… he has also comprehended the power of Laws."

Comprehended the power of Laws?

"To think he has already grasped the Laws…"

"Without a doubt, he will reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm."

"To ascend to the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, one must first master the Laws."

"Our ancestor comprehended the Law of Thunder."

"What Law has Chen Chang'an mastered?"

"One of the Five Elements?" the Ye Family Head asked curiously.

"Time… and Space."

Time?

Space?

Hearing these two Laws, the Ye Family Head was utterly dumbfounded!

These were among the most supreme Laws in existence, and Chen Chang'an had comprehended both?

"What’s the Ye Family’s plan?"

"I’m only here to help."

"Could you all lend a hand instead of just chatting?"

"And you—an Immortal Emperor—standing around gossiping, do you think that’s appropriate?"

Chen Chang'an's words left the Ye Family Head somewhat embarrassed. After all, this was the Ye Family’s battle, yet their members were frozen in place, and he himself had been idly chatting with Ye Beixuan.

Meanwhile, Chen Chang'an, an outsider, was left to face the enemy alone.

"Ye Family, heed my command!"

"Follow me—"

Before the Ye Family Head could finish, he froze once again.

"You… killed them all?"

"When did that happen?" he asked, stunned.

"While you were chatting."

"If not for those three Immortal Emperors being slightly harder to kill, the battle would’ve ended before you finished talking."

Hearing this, the Ye Family Head was both mortified and awestruck.

He had seen powerful figures before—but never one as monstrous as this!

Instant annihilation, every single one?

Even those ordinary Immortal Emperors among the demons had been obliterated in an instant?

Just moments ago, the Ye Family had been locked in a desperate struggle, yet now, the crisis had vanished without a trace.

A battle they were destined to lose had been overturned in the blink of an eye?

How absurdly overpowered was this?!

"There are still two left—the hardest to kill."

At that moment, Ye Xun, who had briefly withdrawn from the fight, finally reappeared.

"Ah, how leisurely of you. The battle ends, and you return," Chen Chang'an teased with a smirk.

Ye Xun didn’t take offense—after all, Chen Chang'an had just saved the Ye Family.

Moreover, Ye Xun was severely injured and could only look at Chen Chang'an with gratitude. "Thank you, Young Master Chen. The Ye Family will repay this debt."

Then, his gaze shifted to Chen Qingqing, filled with confusion.

Who was this woman? How could she be so strong?

She had single-handedly restrained two peak Immortal Emperor-level demonic experts!

"Right, repayment is a must."

"But that can wait."

"These two… how do we kill them?"

Chen Chang'an frowned as he observed the two peak Immortal Emperors bound by Chen Qingqing’s restraints.

He knew full well that, with his current strength, killing them would be extremely difficult.

And there was no guarantee Chen Qingqing could hold them indefinitely. What if they broke free?

"Ahem… I’ll try."

Ye Xun, despite his grievous injuries, stepped forward to attempt it. But Chen Qingqing simply turned to Chen Chang'an and asked, "Do you want them dead?"

"Yes, why?" Chen Chang'an replied, puzzled.

"You should’ve said so earlier."

"I thought you only wanted me to restrain them."

"Killing them… isn’t hard."

Not hard?

Peak Immortal Emperors, and you say it’s not hard?

Just how monstrous are you?!

Under the stunned gazes of Chen Chang'an and the others, Chen Qingqing clenched her fist—and the two demonic peak Immortal Emperors, still entangled in vines, exploded into clouds of blood, dissipating into the air.

No one had expected Chen Qingqing’s strength to be so terrifying.

But Chen Chang'an noticed something else—after killing them, her condition deteriorated drastically.

He rushed to her side, taking her hand and channeling the Law of Life into her body.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Only then did Chen Chang'an realize that Chen Qingqing’s attack had nearly consumed her entire lifespan.

Though she made it look effortless, the cost was immense.

No wonder she rarely fought unless absolutely necessary.

"You wanted them dead, didn’t you?"

"Besides, I knew my limits. I didn’t expend all my lifespan."

"With you here, I won’t die." Chen Qingqing smiled faintly.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Already flirting in front of everyone."

"Shameless." Da Huang muttered, though his tone was more envious than scornful.

"Da Huang, who is she?" Ye Beixuan asked curiously.

"Can’t you tell?"

"Tell what?"

"My big bro’s woman, obviously."

His woman?

"But Brother Chen is engaged to the Mu Family’s daughter, isn’t he?"

"Won’t the Mu Family have something to say about this?"

"Even if they do, what can they do? This woman is terrifying."

Given Chen Qingqing’s strength, even if the Mu Family objected, they’d have to swallow their grievances. Who would dare provoke someone who could slaughter two peak Immortal Emperors without breaking a sweat?

"Brother Ye, prepare a room for me. It’s urgent."

Hearing this, Ye Beixuan was dumbstruck.

Brother! Now’s not the time for that!

Is this really the moment for… recreation?!

Though baffled, Ye Beixuan couldn’t refuse the Ye Family’s savior.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Big bro really knows how to enjoy himself."

"Couldn’t even wait a moment longer."

"By the way… does the Ye Family own any… pleasure houses?"

"It’s been a while. I’m feeling nostalgic."

Da Huang’s words turned the Ye Family’s expressions sour. The Ye Clan had many businesses, but brothels? They would never stoop to such vulgar ventures.

"None?"

"Ah, forget it then."

"Fine wine and good food—surely you have that?"

"Of course. I’ll have it prepared immediately."

The crisis had been resolved far more smoothly than anyone expected. Though many clansmen had perished, the Ye Family had survived.

As for Chen Chang'an and Chen Qingqing, they remained in their room for seven full days before finally emerging.

"Brother Chen… seven days straight. Aren’t you exhausted?" Ye Beixuan couldn’t help but ask.

"A bit tired, yes."

"Ah, Brother Chen… moderation is key."

Hm?

Moderation?

"It’s not what you think."

"Say no more. I understand. I’m not a child—I’ll keep it to myself."

"Get the hell out of here."

"Bring your family's ancestor here—I have some questions for him!"
