Chapter 0009: A Big Fist is the Hard Truth
The illegitimate disciple threw the steel knife, which whizzed through the air. Ye Chen turned his head, and the knife, accompanied by the sound of wind, flew past his ear, embedding itself deeply into a wooden pillar behind him, the blade vibrating and humming as it swayed from side to side
Ye Chen deeply appreciated his cousin's goodwill. He particularly emphasized the word "goodwill" and then looked at the Zhao family members, saying lightly: "As a legitimate descendant of the Ye family, how could I offer an apology to a mere illegitimate child of the Zhao family? Are you still dreaming? As for Nan'er, she will not accept anything from others"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile inwardly. He and Zhao Hao exchanged a brief glance, both understanding the implications behind it. Only a few of the illegitimate disciples had darkened expressions, repeatedly looked down upon by a worthless individual, their anger difficult to contain.
Ye Chen's anger surged within him; not only was he being asked to apologize, but Nan'er was also being forced to accept Zhao Hao's gifts. If this were to spread, Ye Chen feared he would be ridiculed even more than before.
The Zhao family's illegitimate disciple, wielding a knife, was taken aback. He crouched down, narrowly avoiding an attack with a roll, while at the same time, another person's strike was approaching. The wind from the punch howled, aiming directly at Ye Chen's nape. Without even glancing back, Ye Chen soared into the air like a hawk, turned around, and kicked, landing squarely on that person's chin.
Snap
Bang
The people around were almost petrified, their gazes towards Ye Chen filled with astonishment. Ye Qing's face was even more ashen, his teeth grinding audibly, as the once useless body had transformed into something so formidable in just a month, instilling in him a strong sense of crisis.
With a buzzing sound, the force of the punch was forcefully dispersed by Ye Chen's palm. The opponent's fist fell into his grasp, and with a sudden tightening of his five fingers, a series of cracking sounds echoed as bones broke. The Zhao family's illegitimate disciple immediately let out a scream, his face contorted in pain, almost unrecognizable, and the bones in his hand were nearly crushed.
At that moment, Ye Chen finally moved, swinging his arm, his bronze-skinned palm shaking repeatedly in the air
"Young Master Ye, you have gone too far. Regardless of his status, he is still a branch disciple of the Zhao family, not a servant. Your actions leave the Zhao family with no face," Zhao Hao said, his expression grim.
As soon as these words were spoken, several of the Zhao family's illegitimate disciples and Zhao Hao's expressions turned grim. This statement was truly heart-wrenching; it highlighted the relationship between the legitimate and illegitimate offspring. However, when it came from Ye Chen's mouth, it transformed into a relationship between the subordinate and the master. Although they were well aware that Ye Chen was sowing discord, they could not help but feel a wave of discomfort in their hearts.
Suddenly, the expression of the Zhao family's illegitimate disciple changed dramatically. He felt as if his hand was gripping onto steel and iron. Before he could react, he saw Ye Chen's shoulder slightly tremble, and a surge of immense force came forth, causing his internal organs to churn violently, nearly making him spit out a mouthful of blood
Ye Qing looked at Ye Chen, a cold smile forming in his heart. He knew that the Zhao family would not let the matter rest easily, and judging by Ye Chen's earlier performance, he would not back down either. Therefore, he prepared to add fuel to the fire, hoping that Ye Chen would be beaten into a cripple by the Zhao family. At that time, he would have an excuse within the Ye family, claiming that Ye Chen was in the wrong for refusing to apologize and being arrogant, and that he was powerless to stop the Zhao family members from beating him. In this way, he could distance himself from the situation.
Zhao Hao's gaze fell upon Ye Qing, and upon seeing the madness of jealousy and resentment in Ye Qing's eyes, he confirmed that he too was unaware that Ye Chen had long since shed his useless body and become so formidable
Ye Chen sneered coldly, his palm suddenly spreading open, and he swiftly grasped the opponent's attacking fist. The speed and angle were akin to the antlers of an antelope, leaving the opponent with no way to detect it and making it difficult to evade.
Zhao Hao m.hetushu .com .com finally changed color, as Ye Chen's strength completely exceeded his expectations. Several recently advanced to the fifth stage illegitimate disciples unexpectedly lost their combat ability in a single move. What level of cultivation does Ye Chen possess? Has he already entered the sixth stage?
Zhao Hao remained silent; he would not directly take action against Ye Chen because his father had once advised him against it. He was vaguely aware that Ye Chen's father, Ye Wentian, was a formidable individual. Now, with a half-brother disciple stepping forward as the scapegoat, he had no reason to intervene.
Having spoken, the illegitimate disciple took a step forward, and with a swift motion of his body, charged ahead. He extended his arm, curling his fingers into a claw, and aimed to grasp Ye Chen's shoulder, generating a gust of forceful wind.
Ye Chen strode towards the Zhao family's illegitimate disciple wielding a steel knife. At that moment, he exuded a powerful aura, akin to a wild beast in motion, instilling a sense of fear in the illegitimate disciple. He shouted loudly, "Useless body, I don't believe you can become that formidable in just a few months!"
"How about this? The conflict arises from the maid Nan'er. My cousin Ye Chen can match you Zhao family with someone, allowing Nan'er to accept the Third Young Master's gift. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?" Ye Qing said with a smile
Clap! Clap! Clap!
First, there was the sound of bones cracking, followed by a spurt of blood that splashed out, mixed with several teeth. Then, with a loud bang, the Zhao family's illegitimate disciple was kicked into the air, soaring two to three meters high, and fell to the ground like a sandbag, covering his mouth with both hands and screaming in agony
Three consecutive slaps landed fiercely on the opponent's face, followed by a loud bang as the Zhao family's illegitimate disciple was sent flying. Ye Chen charged out like a leopard, and at the moment the opponent hit the ground, he stepped on their chest.
The wind of the fist howls, the force is fierce, each move is lethal. It seems that this illegitimate disciple of the Zhao family has made a ruthless effort, aiming for Ye Chen's life
"Our families have always coexisted peacefully in Lincheng; why should we let a trivial matter disrupt our harmony?" At this moment, Ye Qing spoke up, "How about this: today it was my cousin who was at fault first, let him apologize to the Zhao family, and we can consider this matter settled, shall we?"
Ye Qing trembled all over, with a flash of mad jealousy and resentment in his eyes. The onlookers in the bird market wore expressions of disbelief, as a person who had been a useless waste for thirteen years suddenly became so formidable. It left them feeling as if they were in a dream.
You are merely a dog wagging its tail behind Zhao Hao, possessing a physical cultivation level of five segments, yet you dare to be so arrogant relying solely on a set of empty explosive punches
The other two illegitimate disciples of the Zhao family charged forward with a roar. Zhao Hao did not stop them; he was equally astonished and wanted to see just how formidable Ye Chen had become after this sudden transformation
Is the Air Burst Fist really that powerful? Ye Chen wore an innocuous smile on his face, yet he increased the pressure in his hand, completely crushing the bones of his opponent's hand. Without a hand, will you still be able to execute the Air Burst Fist?
Only Ye Chen himself understands that he simply does not want others to discern his true strength. It must be said that the Zhao family's Explosive Fist is indeed formidable; once the technique is unleashed, it significantly enhances one's power.
The illegitimate disciple hurled a steel knife and charged forward like a wild beast, moving with agile steps. Each punch he threw aimed at Ye Chen's vital points, accompanied by the sound of air exploding. The airflow in the vicinity was drawn and converged in front of his fist with every strike.
"Hmph! You are nothing but a waste!" The illegitimate disciple of the Zhao family sneered, his face full of disdain, standing tall and looking down at Ye Chen, "Strength is synonymous with courage. Today, I will make you understand that teaching a waste a lesson will not earn you any support from the Ye family!"
"Even trash can crush you, what do you say you are?" Ye Chen squatted down and patted the swollen face of the Zhao family's illegitimate disciple, which was as red as a pig's head, and said with a faint smile
The people around became tense, as the friction between the disciples of the two prominent families had escalated into a life-and-death struggle. Neither Ye Qing nor Zhao Hao showed any intention to intervene; both shared the same thought, hoping that Ye Chen would die here, and they would not bear too much responsibility. It was rare for someone to be willing to act as the instrument of murder.
Not only the Zhao family members, but also Ye Qing and those around them were utterly astonished. They could not understand why the previously weak Ye Chen had suddenly become so resolute, as dozens of gazes were cast in unison.
Ye Chen's lips curled into an imperceptible cold smile, remaining as still as a mountain, allowing that hand to grasp him. The Zhao family's illegitimate disciple had concluded that Ye Chen was a waste, believing he had been frightened into inaction, forgetting to evade. His expression instantly turned ferocious as the hand landed on Ye Chen's shoulder, "A waste is just a waste; I can crush you with a mere flick of my hand"
"Shut your mouth and get lost!" A glint of cold light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, "What is your status that you dare to shout at my girl? I would like to ask, who gave you the audacity? Was it your master Zhao Hao?"
A flash of cold light suddenly appeared as a庶出 disciple from the Zhao family wielded a steel knife and charged forward. Ye Chen shifted his body to the side, the blade slicing past just an inch from the tip of his nose. His right leg swung high and horizontally, creating a buzzing sound as the surrounding air was disturbed. That leg struck towards the opponent's body like a steel whip.
Almost everyone believes that during the six months of Ye Chen's disappearance, he encountered extraordinary experiences; otherwise, a useless person could not have become so powerful in just a few months
A waste is a waste. Do you think that after disappearing for half a year and having a bit of luck, you can compete with us? Under my Zhao family's Void Explosion Fist, you will have no power to retaliate. I will shatter all your meridians, turning you into a complete waste. I am eager to see whether the Ye family will come to your aid. The Zhao family's illegitimate disciple maintained the upper hand, and seeing Ye Chen continuously evade, he became even more arrogant, his eyes revealing a ruthless glint.
"If you do not cherish the opportunity given to you, then I have no choice but to teach you a lesson. " The illegitimate disciple said with a cold smile, "After today, you will understand that a useless person, even with a family backing them, cannot gain support. Not knowing how to bow down can easily lead to a life of disability."
Ye Chen moved like a swimming dragon, successfully evading each sharp attack from his opponent. Occasionally, he would counterattack, and to the onlookers, it appeared as though he was being suppressed by the illegitimate son of the Zhao family, finding himself at a disadvantage
"Ye family waste, you dare to humiliate a disciple of the Zhao family like this, seeking death!"
Ye Chen remained silent, his expression calm. The illegitimate disciple of the Zhao family turned his gaze towards Ye Qing and said with a smile, "I wonder how the second young master intends for you, this useless cousin, to apologize."
Ye Chen glanced at him lightly and said, "A fist's size is the hard truth; this is what you just said. Now I return your words as they are. If I do not teach you a harsh lesson today, will any stray cat or dog be able to climb on top of me, Ye Chen, to defecate and urinate?"
Upon hearing this, the Zhao family members were initially taken aback, followed by hearty laughter. Zhao Hao glanced at Ye Qing, his gaze containing a hint of inscrutable significance.
The sudden reversal of the situation left people in a daze, as Ye Chen had clearly been at a complete disadvantage just moments ago, and it was incomprehensible how he suddenly managed to seize his opponent's hand
