Xu Mu's Mistake

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran had already discarded her disguise and was running toward Ye Chen.

However, when she saw the silhouette of a golden dragon emerging around Ye Chen's body, she froze in her tracks.

By this time, Ye Chen and the others had also noticed Xiao Ran approaching.

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. Xiao Ran was no ordinary person; since their top experts were all here dealing with him, she naturally had the ability to escape.

Seeing such an exaggerated phantom, a trace of trepidation rose in Fang Chu's heart.

"True Dragon Physique, Dragon Blood Boiling!"

Ye Chen let out a low roar. His eyes turned golden, and his breathing became ragged.

veins on his forehead and neck bulged violently.

Whoosh!

The phantom on his body suddenly shrank and condensed, adhering to the surface of Ye Chen's skin.

At this moment, Ye Chen was covered from head to toe in golden scales, his palms coated in gold.

Seeing this, Fang Chu's gaze turned cold, and he stomped his foot on the ground.

Bang, bang, bang...

Countless earthen spikes erupted from the ground in all directions around Ye Chen.

But the moment these spikes touched Ye Chen's legs, they shattered completely, unable to pierce the scales on his body at all.

Seeing this, Fang Chu immediately flashed to Ye Chen's side.

Circulating his Dust Shadow Control, the dust around his body began to rotate rapidly.

Buzz!

Ye Chen's expression turned grim again, but he gritted his teeth and stabilized his stance in a split second.

"Dragon Inhale!"

Roar!

The surrounding wind howled, sounding like the cry of a dragon.

After Ye Chen unleashed this move, the dragon head phantom appeared behind him once more.

The dragon head opened its massive maw, as if the dragon behind him was truly taking a breath.

Fang Chu's eyes widened in disbelief as his body lifted directly off the ground, flying uncontrollably toward Ye Chen.

"He improved this much?"

Fang Chu turned pale with fright. He executed the Earth Dragon Art, erecting a massive wall in front of him. His body slammed into the wall, which was the only thing that stopped him from being sucked over.

Boom!

Suddenly, a gigantic dragon claw phantom shattered the wall, instantly sending Fang Chu, who was hiding behind it, flying.

Before Fang Chu even hit the ground, blood sprayed from his mouth.

...

Watching from a distance, Xu Mu rubbed his chin in thought. As expected of a male protagonist; he really wasn't someone ordinary people could compare to.

Ye Chen's Heaven-rank technique, barring any surprises, should be a strengthening type of technique.

For instance, the Dragon Inhale he used previously would only drag people towards him while their feet remained on the ground.

But now, the person flew directly through the air.

Whoosh!

Ye Chen attacked Fang Chu again.

He struck out with a palm, and the dragon claw phantom behind him instantly extended over ten meters, attacking Fang Chu once more.

Fang Chu quickly dodged and looked at Miyako Fuka nearby. "What are you staring for? Do something!"

Miyako Fuka finally snapped out of it. The main issue was that the Ye Chen before them was simply too powerful.

She gripped her katana tightly and launched another wave of sword energy at Ye Chen.

In the distance, Xiao Ran saw this and prepared to rush over to help, but Ye Chen immediately stopped her.

"Stand back!"

After Ye Chen spoke, he waved his hand at the incoming sword energy. But just then, the ground beneath his feet seemed to suddenly turn hollow.

His entire body sank into the earth, leaving only his head exposed.

"Die!"

Fang Chu pressed both hands onto the ground, and spikes emerged from all sides, stabbing toward Ye Chen's head.

Boom!

Golden light flashed, and the terrifying power radiating from Fang Chu was shattered along with the surrounding spikes.

Ye Chen leaped out of the pit and continued his assault on Fang Chu.

Fang Chu didn't dare to clash with him head-on; after all, Ye Chen was two cultivation realms ahead of him.

"Your attacks can't even break my defense now. How do you intend to fight me!"

Ye Chen laughed loudly, launching a frenzied offensive against Fang Chu.

Fang Chu defended with all his might, but his body was forced back continuously.

Boom!

Suddenly, in the midst of his frenzied attacks, Ye Chen's cultivation realm surged, and he sent Fang Chu flying with a single punch.

Fang Chu sprayed a mist of blood. After smashing into the ground, he slid back another few dozen meters before coming to a stop.

Xu Mu, who was spectating, immediately furrowed his brows. "He advanced?"

He immediately used the God's Eye to check Ye Chen's information.

Name: Ye Chen

Role: Male Protagonist of *Descent of the Dragon King*

Fate Power: 3190

Fate Level: 31 (Max Level 10)

Seeing this information, Xu Mu's expression changed abruptly. He remembered that Ye Chen's Fate Level was thirty just a moment ago.

Now, his Fate Power had increased by a hundred points, raising his Fate Level by another level.

"Could it be..."

Xu Mu used the God's Eye again to check Fang Chu over there.

Name: Fang Chu

Role: Male Protagonist of *The Strongest Live-in Son-in-Law*

Fate Power: 1910

Fate Level: 19 (Max Level 10)

"Holy sh*t!"

Xu Mu cursed inwardly.

A miscalculation.

It was a good thing he followed them here and saw the change; otherwise, this would have been a major oversight.

Originally, he thought that letting two male protagonists fight would inevitably lead to the stronger protagonist killing the weaker one.

That way, it would save him some trouble.

But looking at their Fate Power now, Xu Mu realized that Ye Chen had stolen Fang Chu's Fate Power through his victory.

In other words, if he continued to let the two protagonists fight in the future...

The Fate Power of the one who died would all flow into the winner.

For example, right now, if Ye Chen killed Fang Chu, Ye Chen's Fate Power could reach level fifty.

Such a powerful level would pose a threat to Xu Mu far greater than dealing with two separate protagonists.

With two protagonists, Xu Mu could defeat them one by one. But if they combined into one person, the danger level naturally skyrocketed.

He decided he couldn't do this kind of thing anymore in the future. Even if it had to be done, he would let Chen Xuan do it.

Fate Power had to remain in the hands of his own people.

Just then, Xu Mu noticed a dozen or so cleaners walking quickly toward the construction site.

When Fang Chu and his group saw this, they immediately fled.

Ye Chen hesitated slightly, then said to Huang Qu and Xiao Ran, "We're leaving too!"

...

Xu Mu returned to his car and drove the EV back to the company.

Since the "borrowed knife" strategy didn't work, he would have to rely on himself to solve things in the future.

Xu Mu arrived at the branch company and parked Li Yun's car at the company's charging pile. After plugging it in, he prepared to head to the lobby.

Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and looked; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Who is this?"

"Brother Xu Mu, have you made up with my daughter?"

It was Dai Xuan's voice on the other end, but his voice was clearly trembling.

This was caused by nervousness.

Xu Mu could naturally guess the reason. The trap set with such difficulty not only failed to eliminate Ye Chen but allowed him to advance.

What Ye Chen would do to the Dai family afterward didn't need much imagination.

"I told you before, your daughter isn't good enough for me. We are over."

Xu Mu spoke into the phone, "You don't need to call me about her anymore. Hanging up."

"Don't hang up! This isn't about her! This time it's about us."

Dai Xuan immediately said from the other end, "Do you have time right now? I'll come find you immediately."

Xu Mu thought for a moment and felt that the Dai family still had some use for the time being.

"Brother Xu Mu, I have a beauty here. This one is prettier than my daughter and has a better personality than my daughter. I can help set you two up."

Seeing that Xu Mu wasn't speaking, Dai Xuan continued.
