“You…you…” Huang San pointed at Ye Xingchen, suddenly unsure how to express his inner fear.
Ye Xingchen didn't target him when he released his malevolent energy, so he escaped unscathed, as did Xu Er behind him.
Even so, they were still quite frightened by the endless murderous aura emanating from Ye Xingchen.
"If there are any experts, they should show themselves; otherwise, there will be no chance," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than three old men suddenly appeared on the roof.
These three old men were still the elders of the Xu family, a renowned martial arts family in Jiangnan. They slowly descended from the rooftop, their hair and beards all white, giving them an air of otherworldly elegance.
"Chief Huang, leave this to us. You can leave now," said the leading elder in a solemn tone.
"Old Xu, I'm begging you three. If you get rid of this brat today, you'll be richly rewarded in the future." Huang San clasped his hands in a fist and stepped aside with his son, but did not leave. He gritted his teeth and said, "But today, I must watch this brat die."
The hundreds of thugs and dozens of gunmen he had arranged were wiped out by Ye Xingchen in a single encounter; his losses were too great.
For twenty years, ever since he joined the Liang family and became their dog, Huang San had always considered himself a superior. He had never suffered such a great loss before.
He refused to accept it; he wanted to watch Ye Xingchen die with his own eyes, and then tear Ye Xingchen to pieces.
The elderly man at the head of the group fell silent, his tone grave: "Are you the young man surnamed Ye?"
"My surname is Ye. If you're looking for the person who killed that half-step Celestial Phenomenon elder surnamed Xu at the Jiangnan Club, then that's me. My name is Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen nodded, readily acknowledging the matter.
"It really is you! You actually dare to admit it!" The two men behind the old man were furious and stepped forward in unison: "Kill this brat and avenge Fourth Brother."
"So he is your Fourth Elder. I have long heard of the Xu family of Jinling, a family with hundreds of years of martial arts heritage, and a very high status in the Jiangnan area." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "The Fourth Elder is also a grandmaster in the martial arts world."
"But who would have thought that in Jiangnan, where martial arts are so prevalent, a few people would be so ungrateful and willing to become the lackeys of a gang leader?"
"Insolence!" The two old men roared in unison, "Stop wasting words with him, kill him!"
The elderly man at the head of the group slowly waved his hand, signaling the two to calm down.
He said slowly, "Our Fourth Elder is also a half-step Celestial Phenomenon expert, who has long surpassed the strength of a Grandmaster. I never expected that he would die at your hands. It seems that your strength is extraordinary."
"It's alright, killing the three of you is more than enough." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Young people who achieve success are naturally arrogant." The old man said coldly, "But you killed my Xu family elder, and this grudge must be avenged. If we kill you today, no one in the martial arts world will say that we bullied you because of our seniority."
"Do you know what, old man?" Ye Xingchen sighed, "You hypocrites who are all sanctimonious are really hypocritical, pretending to be virtuous while actually being virtuous."
"On the one hand, you act like someone else's dog, doing all sorts of bad things, and on the other hand, you package yourself as a righteous and awe-inspiring elder. Aren't you tired of this?"
"Do you know that the seniors and superior figures you all consider yourselves are nothing but trash in my eyes? You don't even have the right to ask me your names."
Ye Xingchen made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand, and a sword pellet appeared in his hand. With a gentle flick, a three-foot-long sword beam suddenly shone brightly.
Holding the sword pellet Chixiao, he said, "Don't worry, even if the three of you come at me together, no one will say you're bullying the weak, because you're not strong enough."
The moment Ye Xingchen grasped the sword pellet in his hand, his aura suddenly changed.
He held his sword in one hand and casually swung it horizontally; in an instant, the wind and clouds changed dramatically.
"Not good, kill him." The old man's expression changed drastically. The three of them simultaneously stretched out their right hands, bent their fingers forward, and were about to use their strongest techniques to kill Ye Xingchen.
All three were at the half-step Celestial Phenomenon stage, and at their peak, just one step away from the Celestial Phenomenon stage.
If faced with a normal celestial phenomenon, the three of them could kill their opponent without breaking a sweat.
However, Ye Xingchen once broke through to sainthood in a single thought. Although he was greatly injured at the time, once his energy recovered, if he wanted to break through again, as long as it wasn't a high-difficulty operation like crossing four realms in a row, breaking through one or two realms would be a piece of cake for him.
The three men flicked their fingers, and three streams of finger power condensed, causing the void to tear apart. In their shock and anger, the three men unleashed a powerful fighting spirit and attacked Ye Xingchen.
"I use three thousand specks of dust to save all living beings, and with one sword I draw thunder into the nine heavens."
Thunderclap Sword, a tribulation of lightning for all living beings.
In an instant, blue lightning crackled from the tip of the sword and shot into the sky.
At the same time, a flash of blue and white lightning streaked across the sky, echoing the brilliance of Ye Xingchen's sword tip.
In that instant, the sky seemed to be torn apart by lightning, and three bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the three people respectively.
"ah……"
The three old men let out desperate howls, and three bolts of lightning fell heavily from the sky.
The three figures vanished without a trace... A gentle breeze swept by, completely erasing their existence from the world.
A deathly silence fell over the scene...
Death may not be the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing in this world is that when you die, there is no trace of your body. What is truly terrifying is that everything about you is completely erased from this world, as if you had never existed at all.
It is true that humans are like ants. Even if they cultivate to the Celestial Phenomenon, surpassing ordinary martial arts masters and becoming the last hurdle to cross the Heavenly Realm, everything they have can still be wiped out in an instant when they encounter the true strongmen of this world.
Huang San stared blankly at everything before him, his entire being consumed by self-doubt.
The three old immortals of the Xu family, are they dead? Are they really dead, or did they never come here at all?
The three old men had an air of otherworldly wisdom and were like gods in the eyes of ordinary people. However, these powerful figures were easily wiped out by Ye Xingchen.
Xu Er was also dumbfounded. As Huang San's strategist, he had previously not understood why Zhang Hu and Wang Jun were running away and fleeing.
Could the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce, protected by the Liang family, really collapse because of one person?
Now he suddenly understood that it wasn't that they didn't have a high opinion of the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce, but rather that the person who came was too powerful.
The Shengshi Chamber of Commerce had been entrenched in Jinling for over twenty years, wielding immense power. But now he realized that the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce's days were numbered.
Ye Xingchen slowly disappeared from his hand, as if he had done something insignificant. He dusted himself off and looked at Huang San.
