nTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

nJiang Wenlin subconsciously touched his cheek and instantly discovered a faint trace of blood. His expression changed slightly.

nA flying cigarette butt actually had that much power?

nWas this kid actually an expert?

nFor some reason, the moment he stepped into the alley, he had sensed an invisible aura condense around them.

nIt was as if they had entered the young man’s domain.

nHe dispelled the ridiculous thoughts in his mind and walked toward the young man step by step.

nIn River City, in the field of martial arts, no one could stand against the Jin, Meng and Jiang families.

nHe had never seen this kid in front of him before. So what kind of strength could he possibly have anyway?

nThat cigarette butt just now had just been a coincidence!

nIf the other party really had some measure of ability, why would he need to be so secretive about bidding for the hundred-herb cauldron?

nIt was obvious that he had been afraid of offending the Jiang family.

n“Kid, you’re the one who won the hundred-herb cauldron, right?” Jiang Wenlin’s tone was a little cold.

n“That’s right.”

nYe Chen admitted it without hesitation.

nJiang Wenlin was stunned when he heard this. He had not expected the other party to admit to it so easily.

n“Were you the one who provided the Jin family with the pill?” Jiang Wenlin probed.

n“Yes,” Ye Chen replied straightforwardly.

nThis time, Jiang Wenlin was not the only one dumbfounded, but the two Jiang family experts behind him were stunned senseless.

nIt was such an important secret! Most people would rather die than reveal such information.

nAfter all, they had no proof or evidence to back up their assumptions.

nHowever, the other party had admitted it so openly!

nThis was completely beyond everyone’s expectations!

nWas he a fool?

nHad he had enough of life on Earth?

nIf this secret became known to all the martial arts experts in River City, or even the entire Jiangnan Province, this kid would die without a doubt!

nJiang Wenlin even began to doubt the authenticity of the young man’s words.

n“You’re the one who won the hundred-herb cauldron, of that I’m sure. But why did you admit that you were the one who provided the pill at the auction?”

n“Do you know the importance of medicinal pills in Huaxia?”

n“I guess trash like you probably doesn’t even know what a medicinal pill is!”

nJiang Wenlin’s tone of voice was sharp. From his perspective, this kid was definitely toying with him!

nI

nIs that so?

nII

nYe Chen’s lips curled into a smile. The very next second, he took out a handful of medicinal pills from his pocket.

nIt was an entire handful.

n“Then… Are these pills enough to convince you?”

nAt this very moment, Jiang Wenlin and the other two Jiang family experts were stunned. The alley fell silent.

nTheir eyes were fixed on the medicinal pills in Ye Chen’s hand.

nA large handful of medicinal pills…

nThey stared at it like statues, unmoving in the slightest.

nThey did not even dare to breathe!

nThis kid really had medicinal pills! Pills with pill patterns!

nAfter some time, Jiang Wenlin finally came to his senses, and his eyes began to exude cold killing intent.

nAs far as he was concerned, those medicinal pills all belonged to him. This kid was not qualified to have them at all!

nOnce he obtained these pills, the position of family head in the future would definitely be his!

nHe raised his head and revealed a horrifying smile. “Kid, be smart. Hand over those pills and tell me where they came from. If you do, I’ll allow you to be my dog, and no one in River City will dare to mess with you!”

nYe Chen stretched lazily and looked at Jiang Wenlin. He said indifferently, “Hey, do you know why I told you all that?”

n“Why?” Jiang Wenlin asked subconsciously.

n“Because only the dead can keep secrets forever.”

nYe Chen’s voice was dripping with malice.

nThis sudden sentence caused the atmosphere in the alley to turn heavy.

nThere was a hint of tension in the air.

nJiang Wenlin’s facial expression darkened. He glanced at the middle-aged man beside him and said, “Jiang Meng, break this kid’s arms and legs and bring him to me.”

n“Yes, young master!”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Meng moved. He shot out like an arrow released from a bow. When he was three meters away from Ye Chen, he suddenly leapt into the air and onto the wall!

nThe inertia from his approach allowed him to jump five meters high! He then turned around and kicked Ye Chen at full strength!

nThe power of this kick was equivalent to an attack by a half-step transcendent realm martial artist! His leg carried a force of several hundred pounds!

nThe surrounding wind howled!

nOnce it landed on Ye Chen’s body, even if he did not die, he would be crippled for life!

nThe killing intent in Ye Chen’s eyes grew stronger and stronger. The very next moment, he attacked!

nThere was nothing fancy about his attack. He simply circulated his true qi and suddenly threw a punch upward!

nThis punch looked ordinary and unremarkable, but it created sonic booms as it passed through the air!

nIt even gave people the illusion that the sky was about to explode!

nJiang Meng, whose kick was about to land, suddenly noticed a stream of qi wrapped around Ye Chen’s fist. His pupils suddenly enlarged!

nThis was because this stream of qi was true qi!

nThis kid actually had true qi!

nHe wanted to pull back his leg, but it was too late!

nBang!

nThe punch and kick collided!

nCrack!

nThe sound of a bone breaking reverberated through the entire alley. Jiang Meng’s right leg was almost twisted off entirely, and even smashed into his own face at a strange angle!

nThe feeling of having his leg torn apart made him wish he was dead!

nHowever, this was not the most frightening part. Jiang Meng also felt a wave of energy penetrate his internal organs the moment his leg collided with Ye Chen’s fist!

nHe could not suppress his internal injuries any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, after which his entire body crashed into the wall!

nAnother loud noise erupted, and Jiang Meng’s bones seemed to have all been broken. He lay on the ground, spurting blood in extreme pain!

nWho would have thought that a kid who still smelled of his mother’s milk would be able to severely injure Jiang Meng, who was a half-step transcendent realm martial artist, with just a single punch!

nJiang Wenlin and the other old man’s hearts seemed to be violently twitching.

nThey had seen many martial arts techniques in their lifetime, but they had never seen such a domineering punch.

nBefore they could react, Ye Chen was already walking toward them.

nJiang Wenlin snorted coldly. “You little brat. How dare you kill a member of my Jiang family? Do you know what you’ve done? Your parents and everyone around you, including that woman in the coffee shop, will die! The martial arts families of River City are not something a powerless piece of trash like you can mess with!”

n“You talk too much,” Ye Chen’s cold voice had already reached his ears.

n“Old Min, let’s kill him together!” Jiang Wenlin’s expression changed drastically.

nThe two of them were both at the grandmaster realm. In Jiang Wenlin’s opinion, if they joined forces, they would be able to kill the young man in front of them!

n“Yes, young master!”

nOld Min’s sleeve flickered, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand. He grasped the dagger and slashed it at Ye Chen’s neck in an arcing strike!

nThis slash was extremely precise and extremely ruthless!

nIf the slash landed, the end result would be bloody.

nJiang Wenlin took a step forward as well, causing dust to fly and cracks to appear on the ground. At the same time, he struck out with a palm, which carried a thunderous force that had locked onto Ye Chen!

n“Brat, it’s your honor to die to the Jiang family’s Rolling Thunder palm!”

nYe Chen looked at the two of them and smiled.

nThey dared to call themselves a martial arts family with such trashy moves?

nHe only stretched out a single hand and said indifferently, “I can kill you both with one hand.”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen’s hand flashed like lightning and directly grasped the old man’s wrist. “Crack!” Old Min felt an invisible force lock onto him! His wrist was twisted 360 degrees!

nHowever, the dagger was still tightly in his grasp!

nThe next second, a force seemed to control his hand and dagger!

nWith a twist of his hand, he found himself slashing the dagger at Jiang Wenlin’s extended arm!

n“Young master! Be careful!”

nHowever, his warning had come too late!

nOld Min wanted to withdraw his hand or let go of the dagger, but he realized that he could not do either one!

nThe strange man in front of him had everything under control!

nClang! Clang!

nThe dagger fell to the ground.

nHowever, the dagger was now covered in blood.

nJiang Wenlin felt that something was amiss.. He looked down and discovered that his entire arm was gone! The blood in his body was gushing out continuously!
