"Lady Priestess, those two were in the early to mid-stages of the Divine Ability realm, yet he defeated them easily. He is not simple. Let me handle this."
A masked old man appeared beside Miyako Fuka, whispering to her in Japanese.
"No need. That is exactly why I want to challenge him."
Miyako Fuka finished speaking and took two steps forward.
"A woman? I won't go easy on you just because of your gender," Ye Chen sneered, turning his head.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Miyako Fuka slashed with her sword, sending a two-meter-long arc of golden sword energy sweeping toward Ye Chen.
Whoosh!
Her figure suddenly flickered, following closely behind the golden energy.
Ye Chen raised his hand, aiming at Miyako Fuka, and grabbed at the air. "Dragon Suction!"
Whoosh!
Miyako Fuka's body flew uncontrollably toward Ye Chen.
However, the golden sword energy ahead of her reached Ye Chen first.
"Child's play!"
Ye Chen's other hand became shrouded in golden light. "Dragon Scales!"
The golden light on his hand materialized into golden scales.
Ye Chen's hand grabbed onto the sword energy.
Boom!
A violent tremor ripped through the air as Ye Chen blocked the sword energy with one hand.
Crack!
He squeezed hard, and the golden sword energy shattered and vanished on the spot. At the same time, Miyako Fuka had arrived in front of him.
He struck out at Miyako Fuka with his scale-covered hand.
Clang!
Just then, Miyako Fuka's tachi suddenly stabbed into Ye Chen's palm.
Before Ye Chen could grab the blade, Miyako Fuka suddenly executed several rapid slashes.
Swish, swish, swish...
Dense golden sword energies crisscrossed; a full dozen streaks were unleashed right in Ye Chen's face.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes widened, and he immediately released Qi from his body to form a defense.
Boom!
All the sword energies slammed into Ye Chen. The air vibrated, sending a powerful gale in all directions.
Ye Chen's body was knocked back a few steps uncontrollably.
Bang!
After a few steps, he stomped his foot into the ground to stop.
His other hand was now also covered in golden scales.
Crack, crack, crack!
He waved both hands forward continuously, shattering all the sword energy in front of him.
The remaining energy flew past him toward the rear.
Several streaks hit a distant building, causing the partially constructed structure to collapse with a crash.
Watching this, Dai Xuan was secretly alarmed. As expected of Miyako Fuka, the genius figure from the island nation.
But this Ye Chen before them could not be underestimated either.
He didn't understand how the son of an ordinary merchant had become such a powerful expert after disappearing for a few years.
Swish!
Miyako Fuka seized the opportunity to flash to Ye Chen's side, slashing with her tachi again.
Ye Chen sneered, grabbed the blade with one hand, and yanked it violently toward himself.
With his other hand, he punched Miyako Fuka in the stomach.
But at the same instant, Miyako Fuka's other hand produced a short blade from behind her back, stabbing at Ye Chen's shoulder.
Boom!
Miyako Fuka's body flew backward. Seeing this, the masked old man immediately rushed over and caught her with his body.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, dripping down her chin to the ground.
Ye Chen touched his shoulder and found a small amount of blood on his fingers. "Do you think such underhanded tricks will work on me?"
Boom!
The ground beneath Ye Chen's feet suddenly exploded, and his body shot out like a cannonball.
The masked old man immediately moved to intercept him. "Brat! I'm here to kill you!"
Bang!
Before they even made physical contact, their Qi collided.
Ye Chen saw the opponent shrouded in blue light; clearly, this was a Grandmaster.
Yet, he showed no fear. "Today, I will make you a stepping stone for my progress!"
Rumble!
Terrifying power radiated outward, forming a ripple that spread in all directions.
The ground beneath them cracked and splintered, the fissures spreading outward, causing the surrounding iron scaffolding to shake apart and collapse.
Facing the power of a Grandmaster, Ye Chen only took four or five steps back before stabilizing himself.
Seeing this, the masked old man's eyes were filled with shock. He narrowed his eyes. "You must die!"
Swish!
The masked old man attacked Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen was fearless.
Bang, bang, bang...
The two figures flickered, exchanging blows multiple times in the blink of an eye.
Although Ye Chen was at a disadvantage each time, he stabilized his body immediately and attacked again.
Seeing this, the look in Miyako Fuka's eyes changed.
Who exactly was this young man?
The masked old man was at the peak of the early Grandmaster realm; he could suppress even ordinary Grandmasters.
Why could he not quickly decide the victor against someone in the late stage of the Divine Ability realm?
Dai Xuan's heart began to palpitate as he watched. What kind of monster was this Ye Chen? Even a Grandmaster couldn't take him down.
Just as the two were clashing, the ground suddenly shook.
Swish!
A spike of earth and stone flew out from underground.
Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. Although he retreated immediately, he was a step too late.
The spike pierced his defense and sliced open a gash on the side of his leg.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen retreated rapidly. Looking at the wound on his leg, he was secretly alarmed. Fortunately, his reaction had been fast enough.
If he had been a step slower, the spike would have damaged the bone and affected his speed, leading to disastrous consequences.
"Where did this rat come from? Get out here!"
Ye Chen growled low.
From behind a distant building, Fang Chu walked out leisurely.
"It's you? Fang Chu?"
Ye Chen had already investigated Fang Chu's background; previously, he had also tried to steal the Xu family's medical formula and had captured Zhong Qianqian.
"Ye Chen, your information is quite up to date."
Fang Chu walked over with a smile.
"Of course I investigated you. You killed my people; you won't live much longer," Ye Chen shouted coldly, staring at Fang Chu.
"You're truly arrogant. Your people broke into my home and tried to attack me; shouldn't I have killed them?"
As Fang Chu spoke, he looked at the masked old man nearby. "If we keep fighting like this, the cleaners will show up. Let's join forces and use our killing moves to end this quickly!"
"Agreed!"
The masked old man leaped into the air, charging at Ye Chen once more.
Fang Chu, meanwhile, continuously cast the Earth Dragon Art to interfere with Ye Chen's movements.
"You brat! I'll kill you first!"
Ye Chen shouted explosively, turning into a streak of golden light and rushing toward Fang Chu.
Swish, swish, swish...
Just then, Miyako Fuka made her move as well, blocking Ye Chen's path with over a dozen streaks of golden sword energy.
Ye Chen immediately grabbed the sword energy, but at that exact moment, spikes shot up from the ground again.
His legs were instantly mangled and bloody.
"Dragon King!"
Just then, a figure rushed in from the distance, attacking Fang Chu.
Sensing the power, Fang Chu immediately conjured a shield for defense.
Boom!
The shield shattered instantly, but Fang Chu had already flashed to a different spot.
"Ye Chen! I told you earlier to come alone. Now you've broken the rules, so your woman is going to die!"
Dai Xuan roared at Ye Chen.
If this Huang Qu hadn't arrived, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be dead given the current trend.
"I said it before! No one can control my fate. If Xiao Ran lives, I will only kill you. If Xiao Ran dies, I will bury your entire family with her."
After speaking, Ye Chen exploded with power once again.
The masked old man immediately attacked Huang Qu, while Fang Chu and Miyako Fuka joined forces to fight Ye Chen.
Xu Mu stood on a distant rooftop, content to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Xiao Ran felt a little better now. Wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, she glanced first at the battle in the distance before turning her gaze to Xu Mu beside her.
Previously, she had always believed that Ye Chen was the one with the meticulous mind.
But now, having witnessed the true nature of this legendary "brainless wastrel," she finally understood who was truly unfathomable.
