Mr. Jiao, Save My Life

Xu Mu drove to Yang City, this time parking directly at his family's branch office.

Then, he took a taxi outside to the location of the Dai family residence.

He didn't go directly to the Dai family's doorstep, as that would easily give him away.

He got out of the taxi two kilometers away from the Dai estate. This area was already considered the suburbs, with the occasional car passing by.

Xu Mu jumped down from the road and used his perception to survey the surroundings.

After confirming no one was around, he activated an array formation. Following the pattern from last time, he transformed himself back into his previous appearance.

Taking out his phone for a glance, he found it looked the same as before. Xu Mu then set off walking towards the Dai family.

...

At the same time.

At the Dai family's side, atop the vast mountain peak, besides security guards and servants, the only core members of the Dai family present were Dai Xuan and Dai Feiying.

Ye Chen's strength was still too formidable. If they called him over this time and he went on a rampage, the younger generations of the Dai family could easily come to harm.

Therefore, only the father and son pair were there.

"Father! If Xu Mu's senior brother really kills Ye Chen, how should we deal with Xu Mu in the future?"

Dai Xuan asked, sitting at a stone table outside the villa.

"What do you think of Xu Mu?" Dai Feiying asked indifferently.

"In this world, there's only so much meat to go around. If others eat more, we eat less. The Xu family has capital and also has Xu Mu, a sect disciple. It's only a matter of time before they become a hidden clan. They will be much harder to deal with than the Nangong family."

Dai Xuan's gaze turned towards the distant mountains. "When the time comes, they will definitely encroach upon us."

"You and I think alike. This Xu Mu is indeed a problem. After dealing with Ye Chen, we'll find a way to handle him."

Dai Feiying revealed a faint smile. "But for now, Xu Mu is still useful."

"I understand that."

Dai Xuan nodded gently.

Just then, a message came through on Dai Xuan's phone. He took it out, glanced at it, and immediately said, "Jiao Jun is here."

"Quick, let him come up."

Dai Feiying said promptly.

The two waited for a while, and soon Xu Mu appeared from the distance.

"Mr. Jiao, you've arrived."

Dai Xuan immediately stepped forward with a smile to greet him.

"I have other matters today. Where is Ye Chen?"

Xu Mu stood with his hands behind his back, asking calmly.

"Barring any surprises, he will definitely arrive today."

Dai Feiying also walked over. "Why don't you have a cup of tea first, sir? We can wait here quietly."

"No need. I'll just sit here and wait."

Xu Mu certainly couldn't eat or drink tea because the outer layer was merely an illusion created by the array formation.

His current height was a few centimeters shorter than his actual height.

In other words, the position of his current mouth was at a different height from his real mouth's position.

If he drank water, he would be exposed.

...

At the same time.

Ye Chen was still in his office. The drug samples for the company had been prepared in advance.

They were currently being used by volunteers. If the drug was confirmed to have no issues, he would begin preparing for its market launch.

"Dragon King, must you really go?"

Xiao Ran said from the side. "Since they dare to invite you over, it proves they've already set up an ambush."

"I think what Xiao Ran says is correct. Last time they could find a Grandmaster realm expert; this time they might find someone even stronger."

Huang Qu was also there, smoking a cigarette.

"I must go to the Dai family. They are already on my death list. No matter what experts they find, I can kill them all!"

Ye Chen stood up and walked towards the door.

"Dragon King, let me go with you."

Xiao Ran followed behind Ye Chen.

"No need. This time they might truly have experts. You would only hold me back."

Ye Chen stopped walking. "Lao Huang, you come with me."

"Alright."

Huang Qu first glanced at Xiao Ran, then nodded in agreement.

After they left, only Xiao Ran remained in the office.

She sat on the sofa, her expression somewhat uneasy. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Ye Chen didn't seem as close to her as before.

...

Atop the Dai family mountain peak.

Dai Xuan looked at a message on his phone, his expression instantly turning grave. "Father, Ye Chen is here?"

"How many people?"

Dai Feiying asked immediately.

"Two. One of them is an old man, the same Grandmaster from last time. However, according to the security guards, that old man stayed by the car and didn't come up."

Dai Xuan explained.

"Don't worry!"

As he spoke, Dai Feiying looked towards Xu Mu, who was standing by the cliff edge. "Mr. Jiao is immensely powerful. Taking on two opponents is nothing for him."

Xu Mu turned his head, looking at the two men. "Don't boast too much. The fact that Ye Chen dares to come up alone proves he has confidence in himself."

Dai Feiying certainly knew that someone at the Divine Ability realm who dared to fight a Grandmaster, and without even using his Heaven-grade technique...

Now that he had successfully entered the Grandmaster realm, his strength was undoubtedly even more unfathomable.

As they were talking, a figure appeared in the distance.

Ye Chen walked over, wearing casual suit pants, his hair slicked back in a pompadour, his eyes icy cold.

Dai Feiying and Dai Xuan exchanged glances and both stepped back.

However, seeing Xu Mu in front of him, Dai Feiying felt a bit more confident.

"Ye Chen! There's no need for our relationship to be so strained. You once gave us a warning, and we also took action against you. We're even. Why don't we bury the hatchet?"

Dai Feiying spread his hands, looking calmly at Ye Chen.

"What are you? I came here to kill you!"

Without another word, Ye Chen's single hand glowed with golden light as he lunged towards Dai Feiying.

"Mr. Jiao, save us!"

Dai Feiying and Dai Xuan immediately hid behind Xu Mu.

Xu Mu raised his hand, and six long swords materialized around his body.

He wanted to test Ye Chen's true strength.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All six long swords shot towards Ye Chen.

Seeing this, Ye Chen's other hand also became covered in golden scales.

Facing the swords attacking from all directions, he grabbed one with his hand.

Screech!

The sword clashed with the scales on his hand, emitting a piercing metallic friction sound.

Ye Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes. The force he had just used could easily crush sword energy.

Yet this long sword was clearly also formed from Qi.

He actually couldn't crush it immediately.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

At that moment, the remaining five swords all shot towards Ye Chen from behind.

Seeing this, Ye Chen roared, "Break!"

Crack!

The veins on his forehead bulged as he crushed Xu Mu's long sword with one hand. He quickly turned around and threw a punch.

But the attacking swords dodged the blow mid-air, transforming into streaks of red light and continuing their assault from all sides.

"Dragon's Grasp!"

Suddenly, Ye Chen's hands grabbed fiercely towards the surroundings. Two large boulders from the mountaintop rose into the air and smashed towards the swords.

Whoosh!

The swords easily sliced through the stones.

But right then, Ye Chen clasped his hands together, a brilliant golden light erupting from his body. "Stone-Embedded Sword!"

Boom!

Under the influence of the golden light, the shattered stones suddenly coalesced, forming a stone long sword.

Around the Stone-Embedded Sword, a thick layer of gold could be seen.

Ye Chen grabbed the sword and swung it forcefully at the oncoming swords.

Clang!

Another loud crash echoed, creating ripples in the air that caused cracks to appear in the ground beneath their feet.

Xu Mu's second sword shattered and vanished.
