"What did you say? I...I only have one hour left?!"

Shangguan Haokun was instantly terrified. He never imagined that he only had one hour left to live! He quickly recovered and glared at Ye Chen, shouting, "No, it can't be! You're lying to me! You must be lying to me!"

Shangguan Haokun refused to believe Ye Chen. An hour had passed; if he was still alive, it was as good as dead. How could he possibly cure him? Besides, he was incredibly wealthy and had even taken on a thirteenth concubine this year. He simply didn't want to die like this!

"Grandpa, what he said is true..."

Before Ye Chen could say anything more, Shangguan Mingyue bit her red lips and said, "When I was recounting what happened, I deliberately skipped this part, afraid of scaring my grandfather to death. But I didn't expect this damned guy to tell him too!" She glared at Ye Chen fiercely. This was truly the first time their Shangguan family had been manipulated like this!

"What?!"

Shangguan Haokun's eyes rolled back, and he staggered, but miraculously, he pulled through once again. Not for any particular reason, but simply out of anger. Having held a high position for so long, he was unwilling to bow down to a mere brat! He continued dialing on his phone, quickly bringing it to his ear: "Jin Bao, where is he? Come here right now and take care of someone for me!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and glared fiercely at Ye Chen: "Kid, my bodyguards will be here soon. If you don't want to die, I can give you another chance. Obediently treat my illness, and I might take back my order!"

These bodyguards were no ordinary individuals; they were all cultivators unearthed from deep within the mountains, even surpassing the martial arts master Shangguan Mingyue. In the grandfather and grandson's eyes, if Ye Chen still refused to submit when Jin Bao and his men arrived, he was doomed!

"Kid, cherish this opportunity, or you're really going to die!"

Shangguan Mingyue frowned angrily. When she heard that her grandfather was going to call Jin Bao and the others over, her heart skipped a beat, as if a little deer was pounding inside her!

Because she knew that as long as Jin Bao and his men came, Ye Chen would surely die!

"That's perfect! When you bodyguards arrive, I'll just take your grandfather down with me. They'll kill me, and your grandfather will die of illness. Anyway, my life is a worthless one. To die on the same day, month, and year as the richest man in Guangdong Province is an immense blessing!"

Ye Chen is showing off.

"you!"

Shangguan Mingyue was furious. She never expected the other party to think this way. If he really died… what did it have to do with her! But if her grandfather died of illness, she would be devastated and unable to explain herself to the family. After all, she had raised her grandfather. If the family members couldn't find him when they returned, they would definitely smear her reputation, and her situation would become extremely difficult!

Shangguan Haokun was also trembling with anger, but this time he was surprisingly calm. He didn't roll his eyes or kick his legs. He just gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Chen viciously: "Kid, I hope you can still be this stubborn later!"

He refused to believe that there were people in this world who were not afraid of death!

Moreover, even if Ye Chen wasn't afraid of death, he believed that with Jin Bao's methods, he could still subdue him! If he wasn't afraid of death, wouldn't he be afraid of torture?

Death versus torture—even the toughest person can only endure the former. So Shangguan Haokun was still very confident. He believed that Ye Chen was just being stubborn. Once he saw Jin Bao's methods, he would probably burst into tears, kneel before him, beg for mercy, and call him Grandpa Shangguan!

Seeing this scene, the Xiao family grandfather and grandson were conflicted, never expecting things to escalate to this point! Just as they were about to offer some words of advice, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, who is disrespecting you!"

The voice was sharp and powerful, clearly belonging to a strong person. The group glanced sideways, and Ye Chen saw a large group of men in suits surge in. The leader was exceptionally tall, radiating a strong aura of martial arts cultivation. Ye Chen thought to himself, "Not bad, this is the strongest cultivator I've encountered in a while."

Unfortunately, he shook his head and then his body flashed to the opposite side like a phantom. No one saw how Ye Chen made his move. They only saw his body transform into several powerful gusts of wind, and with a few 'slap slap's, he sent Jin Bao and the others flying in different directions. They spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and finally landed like dead dogs.

In his eyes, he's still the younger brother!

This Golden Leopard is also a typical example of someone who can only be cool for three seconds. After uttering a cool line, he turns into a dead dog.

This scene left both the Xiao family grandfather and grandson, as well as the Shangguan family grandfather and grandson, completely dumbfounded! The Xiao family grandfather and grandson never imagined that Ye Chen would possess such strength. The Shangguan family's bodyguards were truly godlike beings, rumored to have been dug out from deep in the mountains and forests, each one a master of the Dao! Yet, in front of Ye Chen, they were so utterly helpless! They simply couldn't believe it!

Ye Chen is far stronger than they imagined!

Grandpa Shangguan and his grandson were also completely stunned, speechless for a long time, as if their souls had been ripped out of their bodies. What had they just witnessed? Jin Bao and the others had actually been sent flying by this kid's magic! And the whole process took less than two seconds! It was too shocking for them! It was too shocking for them!

Since Jin Bao and his men began protecting him, they had never been knocked down, let alone in such a short time; it was practically an instant kill!

They realized that Ye Chen was just showing off, talking about dying together, what a load of rubbish about dying together!

Even the golden leopard lying on the ground was utterly shocked. Looking at Ye Chen, who had sent them flying, he admitted that this was absolutely the most powerful guy he had ever encountered since he began cultivating! And he couldn't even imagine what level he was at! But one thing was certain: a realm beyond divine skill!
