"It's already noon, Patriarch Li. I wonder if my Celestial Realm cultivation is enough to wipe out your entire Li family?"

Ye Xingchen's voice rang out like a booming bell. He slowly raised his head and scanned the people in front of him.

In his eyes, the people in front of him were not much different from the dead.

"Celestial Phenomenon Realm... He's actually at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."

The three old men of the Li family changed their expressions drastically. Looking at the power emanating from Ye Xingchen, all of them turned ashen-faced.

The Li family's strength is indeed quite formidable compared to ordinary martial arts sects or aristocratic families.

Even if a sect were to reach the Heavenly Realm, countless second- or third-rate sects and families would struggle to find a Heavenly Realm expert, no matter how much effort they put into their entire clan.

After all, only those who reach the Celestial Realm are considered true masters, but in the face of celestial phenomena, even those at the Celestial Realm must step aside.

"Mr. Ye...we...can talk this over." Li Changye clasped his hands in a fist salute, admitting defeat immediately.

"You have one minute to consider whether to kill your grandson and end this matter here," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "Because it will be a quarter past noon soon, and if it really comes, your entire clan will die."

“If Ye Xingchen wants to take his life, he can just take it.” Li Changye’s tone was somewhat bitter.

"That won't do. You have to do it yourself. If I wanted to do it myself, I wouldn't have waited until now." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "30 seconds."

“Even tigers don’t eat their cubs, let alone my most beloved grandson.” Li Changye said with some anger.

"Brother... Li Kun is already ruined. There's no point in him living like this."

"Yes, brother, the opponent is at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Even if the three of us brothers join forces, we're probably evenly matched. Are you really going to destroy our entire clan for such a piece of trash?"

“You’ve spoiled Long Kun too much. If you had kept him in check earlier, this disaster wouldn’t have happened.”

At the critical moment of life and death, neither kinship nor chivalry existed.

All eyes were on Li Changye, and they were now eagerly hoping that he would kill Li Kun.

Only in this way can the Li clan survive.

Even if they believed that the three elders joining forces to fight Ye Xingchen would result in a lose-lose situation, it would still deplete the Li family's strength.

With all three elders injured, the Li family's status will naturally be gone, and other families will definitely take advantage of the situation.

After weighing the options, everyone still desperately wanted Li Kun dead.

"Ten seconds." Ye Xingchen counted down: "Ten, nine, eight..."

"Ah..." Li Changye roared. Now, even if he wanted to protect Li Kun, he was powerless to do so.

With a flick of his right hand, a large sword appeared in his grasp. He then took several steps in mid-air and, amidst the screams of Li Kun's mother, unleashed a powerful sword strike.

Thump... Li Kun's head rolled to the ground. Now, this notorious scoundrel has met his end here.

"Mr. Ye, I have already killed Li Kun. Let's end our feud here." Li Changye seemed to have aged ten years in that instant.

Bowing down to a young man in his twenties, and being forced by him to kill his own grandson, was even more painful than killing him.

However, he had no choice in this matter, because even if Li Kun died, the Li family would still exist. If they really clashed with the experts of the Celestial Phenomenon Sect, their Li family would lose the chance to make a comeback.

"As expected of the patriarch." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "Courageous and decisive, you were born to be a leader."

Li Changye remained silent, and Ye Xingchen's words sounded extremely harsh; they were certainly not a compliment.

"But unfortunately... it was two seconds too late." Ye Xingchen pointed to his watch: "By the time it was time to start attacking, the enemy had already been defeated."

"Ye Xingchen, what do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?" Li Changye was startled.

"It's not that I'm going back on my word, but your decision just now wasn't decisive enough, so the time has passed. It's really a pity," Ye Xingchen said with some regret. "I didn't want to commit any killings, but you're too late, so there's nothing I can do."

"So what do you plan to do now? Are you going to slaughter our entire clan?" Li Changye roared, "Do you really dare to do that?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Ye Xingchen said leisurely, "These were all done by your Li family, so you really can't blame me."

"If your Li family hadn't tolerated Li Kun's reckless behavior, perhaps you wouldn't be in this predicament today, but more importantly..."

Ye Xingchen slowly raised his head, his tone icy: "Your relationship with Jin Luocheng is unusual. You can get so close to Jin Tai, you have such a good relationship... Anyone who is close to Jin Luocheng must die."

"Ye Xingchen, don't go too far!" the Second Elder roared. "Our Li clan has a family of three Heavenly Realm experts, and all three of our elders are Heavenly Realm experts. Do you really think that just because you're a Heavenly Phenomenon expert, you can do whatever you want?"

“You can’t do whatever you want based on just one celestial phenomenon, but you’ve got one thing wrong.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “I’m not an ordinary celestial phenomenon.”

"Heh, at your age, to have reached the Celestial Phenomenon realm is indeed impressive." The Third Elder sneered, "I don't know what extraordinary encounters you've had, or what rare treasures you've used to enhance your strength."

"But even if the three of us brothers join forces, you might not come out on top, Ye Xingchen. If you want a lose-lose situation, we brothers will fight to the bitter end."

"Do you three brothers really think so?" Ye Xingchen looked at the old men as if they were mentally challenged.

"Our Li family has been established for a century. Although we dare not call ourselves a prestigious sect, we are still a force to be reckoned with in the southwest." The Third Elder sneered, "We are not so desperate as to be driven to a dead end by a young man like you."

“Indeed, your Li family does have a strong foundation.” Ye Xingchen nodded, then looked at Li Changye, whose face was ashen: “You are the head of the family, so let’s start with you.”

"Now I'm giving you a chance. Whether you rush forward all at once or take turns, I'll stand right here, within three feet of you."

As Ye Xingchen spoke, he drew a circle on the ground with his foot: "It's roughly the area of ​​this circle. Whether you all rush at me at once or use a series of attacks to deplete my true energy, it's up to you."

"If I get out of this circle, I lose. If you can't do that..."

The smile on Ye Xingchen's face gradually turned into a hint of killing intent: "Then I'm sorry, but I can guarantee that your entire Li family will be executed..."

“Arrogant…” Li Changye finally erupted. With a wave of his right hand, a long sword flew into his hand from the hall behind him.

The Cold Water Sword, his signature sword, has been used by him in recent years to cultivate his character and seclude himself for training, attempting to challenge the celestial phenomena.

So the sword had been sealed away in the hall behind him for ten years without being touched. Today, Ye Xingchen had enraged him so much that he was going to take out the sword and fight him to the death.
