“Ye Xingchen, I admit that none of the three of us brothers could defeat you in a one-on-one fight.” Li Changye brandished his longsword. “Even if we all rushed at you, we wouldn’t gain any advantage.”
"But we believe we can force you out of this small circle. If you lose, you will cripple your cultivation."
"No need to go through all that trouble of crippling your cultivation." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "If I leave this circle even half a step, I'll twist my head off and let you kick it around like a ball."
"Fine, you said it yourself, second and third brothers," Li Changye roared.
"Yes." The two Li elders stepped forward in unison.
"If the three of us brothers work together, we will definitely be able to defeat this kid. Go..." Li Changye held his long sword horizontally, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, and his true energy was already fully gathered.
"Yes!" The three shouted in unison. Li Changye took the lead, leaping up and attacking Ye Xingchen with his long sword.
The remaining two elders, having gathered their inner energy, formed three figures, one in front and two behind, and pounced on Ye Xingchen like large birds.
In an instant, sword energy and fist winds crisscrossed.
Ye Xingchen slowly raised his head, and the figures of three people were reflected in his pupils.
However, in his eyes, all three of them were already dead.
He said calmly, "How can the light of a grain of rice compete with the brilliance of the moon? Today, I will send you three brothers on your way, so that you will have companions on the road to the underworld."
With a grab of his right hand, Chixiao appeared in his hand, and with a hum, a three-foot-long sword light burst forth from Chixiao in his hand.
A dragon's roar gradually grew louder, and as Ye Xingchen swept the Crimson Cloud sword forward, a sword aura suddenly rose up, enveloping the three brothers.
With three screams, a flash of blood appeared in mid-air, and then three figures fell to the ground with thuds.
The sword energy had already slain the three men; these three Heavenly Realm cultivators were practically powerless against Ye Xingchen.
"Patriarch... Elder?" The surrounding Li family disciples were filled with grief and indignation.
The Li family was once a family of three Heavenly Realm experts, how proud and spirited they were! However, no one expected that three Heavenly Realm experts would be unable to withstand even a single blow from Ye Xingchen.
The Crimson Cloud in Ye Xingchen's hand slowly disappeared. Throughout the entire process, his feet did not move an inch, let alone leave the circle.
"Li Kun's actions have angered both heaven and man, and your Li family has colluded with Jinluo City to commit numerous heinous and despicable acts that harm the common people, haven't you?"
Ye Xingchen coldly surveyed his surroundings: "I said that I would wipe out your Li clan today. Since I have said it, I will definitely keep my word. You... may all follow your patriarch."
"Ah, no!"
"Run!"
Chaos erupted at the scene immediately, as the Li family was a family of martial arts masters.
Because of the fact that the sect is at the Three Realms level, the direct descendants or disciples are all arrogant and domineering. Who among them has not stained their hands with blood?
However, now that three experts at the Heavenly Realm have fallen at Ye Xingchen's hands, the remaining people are already terrified and are fleeing in all directions.
But they no longer had a chance; a white sword circle formed, condensing into a white aura.
The ring of air slowly rose, splitting into three layers, rising into the air like smoke rings in a chimney.
However, just as it floated into the air, the white sword circle suddenly expanded, and then released a chilling killing intent.
A whoosh... The entire front yard was enveloped in the sword circle, and the sword energy of the circle exploded with a thunderous roar, crisscrossing and splattering with blood.
Countless severed limbs and broken arms shot into the sky, accompanied by endless screams and wails.
Ye Xingchen's sword strike naturally couldn't kill everyone; half of them died, and the other half were completely crippled.
Regardless of the circumstances, the fate of the Li family was sealed. From then on, the Li family, a martial arts family, would no longer exist in Yun City in the southwest.
Two days later, the Dharma assembly ended.
The murdered little girls have been reclaimed by their respective families and taken home. Zhou Kunsheng invited a high-ranking monk to perform a Buddhist ritual to help these little girls pass on to the afterlife.
These were made by eminent monks from a famous temple near Yun City. The souls of these little girls will find peace and be reincarnated.
At the Meng family home, Old Master Meng and Ye Xingchen sat facing each other. The old man took out his treasured Da Hong Pao tea, which he had kept for many years, and brewed a pot of tea for Ye Xingchen.
"Is Ye Xingchen heading to Xuan City?" Old Meng asked.
"The overall situation here has been settled; we're heading to Xuan City now," Ye Xingchen said. "Previously, we were trying to find out more about the situation there. Now we've confirmed that Huang Tai's identity is Jin Xiang. Using him as a starting point, entering Jinluo City shouldn't be difficult."
"Alright." Old Meng nodded slowly and said, "My people have already spoken to them. Although Xuan City is not large, it is an extremely dangerous place."
"Mr. Ye, you must be careful when you get there."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Elder Meng." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"I never imagined your father would be Ye Jinyu." Old Meng sighed. "Like father, like son."
"Does Elder Meng know my father?" Ye Xingchen asked, somewhat surprised.
"Hehe, the Great Xia War God, who doesn't know him?" Old Meng said with a smile, "I met him once many years ago and I was deeply impressed by him."
"Has Elder Meng met him?" Ye Xingchen immediately became interested. "I wonder what kind of person he is, and what Elder Meng's opinion of him is?"
"Having lofty aspirations is a powerful tool for the nation." After thinking for a moment, Old Meng gave a apt answer.
"You rarely praise people," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "To be able to describe Sun Island in such a way, it seems you have a very high opinion of it."
"Haha, it's not that I think highly of him, but that he is a person who deserves my praise." Old Meng chuckled. "It's a pity that he risked his life to go to Jinluo City. That place is a den of dragons and tigers, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to venture there."
"He did it twenty years ago," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Now I'll go and try it myself."
"So I was right, like father, like son." Old Meng nodded slowly: "This journey is dangerous, you must be careful."
"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Elder Meng." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Brother Ye, are we leaving Yun City?" Just then, Meng Hu walked in.
Having gone through so much, Meng Hu is much more mature than before, and he doesn't act as recklessly as he used to.
"Yes, I should go take care of my business," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll bring my brothers to the market to help you," Meng Hu said with a smile.
"No need for that. It's better to resolve personal grudges in my own way," Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Meng Hu is a man of great loyalty. He doesn't care how strong Jin Luocheng is. As long as Ye Xingchen needs him, he will definitely be willing to take up his big knife and go for him.
"Haha, okay, just say so if you need anything, you're my older brother." Meng Hu laughed heartily.
This guy acknowledged Ye Xingchen as his elder brother without batting an eye, completely disregarding the fact that Ye Xingchen was several years younger than him.
