Chapter 1106: Outside the Youdu, I Will Definitely Kill You

Hiss!

Witnessing Yan Tian Dao Ren’s head roll away, the gamblers in the betting house sucked in sharp breaths, a chilling wind sweeping through.

This was utterly unexpected.

You Du prohibited private combat, much less murder, yet Ye Chen had done it anyway, defying the Fa Ze Lei Ting, and still beheaded Yan Tian Dao Ren.

The bloody scene caused everyone’s expressions to change. In their eyes, Ye Chen had always been merely a buffoonish clown.

But from the moment Yan Tian Dao Ren’s head fell, they truly understood that beneath Ye Chen’s playful exterior lay a core of killing intent, like a Shura or a god of death, making their souls tremble.

This was the real him!

In that instant, too many people began viewing Ye Chen with a different gaze—all his antics were simply a disguise.

Ye Chen staggered slightly, his cracked Sheng Ti still gushing blood, with Fa Ze Lei Ting raging through his wounds, dissipating his vital energy. Instead of healing, the injuries were even expanding.

The Fa Ze Lei Ting of You Du was terrifyingly powerful. If not for his deep foundations, he would have turned to ashes in an instant.

Yet, for him, it was worth it.

Yan Tian Dao Ren was no ordinary figure, with his dominant divination secrets, wide network of friends, and great influence. Such a person couldn’t be underestimated. If left alive, he would become a massive threat in the future, a fearsome opponent on Xie Yun’s path to rise.

Since they were enemies, there was no need for mercy. If it had to be done, it should be done thoroughly. Anyone blocking Xie Yun’s way must be killed.

The betting house was packed with people, yet it was eerily silent.

The scene here was too bloody, causing many bodies to shudder. A Huang Jing cultivator had been slain just like that, by a Tian Jing opponent, no less, after losing a life-or-death gamble.

"Ye Chen, how dare you kill someone in You Du."

The long silence was finally broken by a wave of furious shouts.

"Debts must be paid, and lives wagered must be forfeited. What's wrong with that?"

Ye Chen snarled, twisting his neck fiercely.

"Ignoring You Du's laws, stop him!"

A Zi Yi Lao Zhe roared in anger.

"You, get out here."

Ye Chen slowly raised his sword, pointing it at the Zi Yi Lao Zhe, then turned and walked toward the betting house exit. A faint voice echoed behind him, "Outside You Du, I will definitely kill you."

Hearing this, everyone in the betting house froze collectively. What was he planning? Was this a Tian Jing challenging a Huang Jing?

After three to five seconds of shock, they all reacted. They hadn’t misheard—a Tian Jing was indeed challenging a Huang Jing outside You Du, and even vowing to kill him.

Good! Excellent!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe laughed wildly and shot out like a divine light.

Not just them, many from Ku Yue's faction and the Eight Huang Zi’s people eagerly followed, their eyes flashing with cold light. You Du forbade private battles, but outside was different. They had finally waited for Ye Chen to leave You Du—how could they miss this rare opportunity?

Mu Wan Qing and her group also followed, Ye Chen’s actions from start to finish beyond their expectations.

What? A Tian Jing challenging a Huang Jing?

What? And the challenger is Ye Chen?

This news spread like wings across all of You Du, causing a massive uproar.

Wow!

On the ninth level of You Du, Ru Tian Zhu Que rubbed her brow fiercely upon hearing the news.

Compared to her, Ku Yue's subordinates like Yue Shan and the Eight Huang Zi had already dispatched their experts. Their goal was simple—they wouldn't let Ye Chen return alive no matter what.

Hurry! Hurry!

Overlooking all of You Du, from the first to the ninth level, crowds surged like the sea, rushing toward the city gates.

"This guy must be crazy!"

In the crowd, Fan Tong clicked his tongue while watching Ye Chen standing in the void.

"Don't underestimate him; he's very strong."

The eight neighboring Zhun Huang stroked their beards.

"You idiots know nothing."

Fan Tong cursed, "He's not just facing one Huang Jing. Didn't you see that pack of old dogs blocking the You Du gates? No matter if Ye Chen wins or loses, they won't let him back in."

"That's true."

"Old me is seeing a Tian Jing challenge a Huang Jing for the first time."

Discussions roared like ocean waves, endless.

"Did you hear? Ye Chen beheaded Yan Tian Dao Ren in the betting house."

"What?"

"This guy's guts are way too big."

Many were shocked, their gazes toward Ye Chen suddenly changing.

"Holy Lord."

Nian Wei arrived with her guards.

"Don't interfere."

Ye Chen said flatly.

"You're being too reckless."

Mu Wan Qing also rushed over with the Mu family experts.

"I have my own plans; just watch."

Ye Chen’s words remained calm.

"Ye Chen, come and die."

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe arrived, laughing mockingly as he stared at Ye Chen from afar.

"Master, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"

A young man in white emerged from the side, lightly fanning himself with a folding fan. He was a Zhun Huang, though his aura wasn't very stable, suggesting he had just advanced.

"Yang Er, you've broken through?"

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe exclaimed in surprise.

"Thanks to Master's guidance, Xue Yang has finally taken that step."

The young man in white glanced at Ye Chen and said, "A mere Tian Jing doesn't require Master's hand. Your disciple will slay him today."

"In that case, no need for Master to act."

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe stroked his beard, adopting a superior demeanor, as if overlooking the world, proud of teaching a Zhun Huang disciple.

"It's actually Xue Yang?"

Below, discussions erupted.

"Breaking through to Zhun Huang before two hundred years old?"

"He's a ruthless one. I heard he killed a Zhun Huang even when he was in Tian Jing. Now as a Zhun Huang, how could he lose to a Tian Jing like Ye Chen?"

"I bet Ye Chen will lose in three moves."

"Ye Chen, hand over the true fire and kneel to apologize to my master, and I'll let you die quickly."

Xue Yang spoke, fanning himself lightly, his eyes full of contempt, acting as if he were invincible.

"Want the true fire? Come and take it."

Ye Chen sneered.

"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

Xue Yang snorted coldly, snapped his fan shut, and vanished like lightning, instantly appearing before Ye Chen.

Pfft!

In the next moment, blood spattered across the void.

But the scene the spectators imagined didn’t happen—the one bleeding wasn't Ye Chen, but Xue Yang.

The sight in the void was gruesome: Xue Yang's entire arm had been torn off, blood still gushing out.

This...!

Such a scene left the onlookers stunned. They didn't even know what had happened. In that brief moment, Xue Yang lost an arm, while Ye Chen was unscathed.

How is this possible!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe panicked. His prized disciple, a Zhun Huang, had his arm torn off in one move.

This can't be!

Xue Yang was the most unwilling to accept it. He was a Zhun Huang, yet he had his arm ripped off by a Tian Jing. His usual arrogance made this an unbearable humiliation.

Kill!

Xue Yang roared ferociously, drawing his killing sword and slashing out a world-shaking sword light.

Ye Chen advanced, allowing the sword to strike him, but he reached Xue Yang first.

You...!

Xue Yang’s face changed, and he retreated hastily.

But it was too late. Ye Chen was faster, catching up in one step.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed again, staining the void. Xue Yang was torn in half by Ye Chen, his escaping Yuan Shen captured and crushed to dust.

Xue Yang never imagined dying like this, killed by a Tian Jing in less than three moves. He must have regretted showing off.

This... is it over?

The spectators stared blankly at the void, their expressions shocked, mouths agape and unable to close. A Tian Jing slaying a Zhun Huang in three moves? Was this cheating?

Ye Chen, you deserve to die!

Amid the shock, the Zi Yi Lao Zhe thundered in rage, charging with a surging blood sea. He had finally taught a Zhun Huang disciple, only to see him killed publicly—something he couldn't accept.

Ye Chen said nothing, thrusting out a palm that unleashed a sea of stars, forcefully crushing the Zi Yi Lao Zhe's blood sea.

Extermination!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe shouted angrily, suspending an eight trigrams disk above his head and pressing down from the sky, collapsing half the void. It was a terrifying Dharma artifact, evolving secrets on its own and inscribed with sealing arrays.

Yet, no matter how strong the artifact, in Ye Chen’s eyes, it was still inadequate.

His Hun Dun Shen Ding flew out, simple and unadorned, resonating with the Dao and echoing heavenly sounds, instantly shattering the eight trigrams disk.

Pfft!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected his life-bound artifact to be so fragile. He suffered backlash, spitting blood, his eyes full of disbelief. Only upon truly facing Ye Chen did he realize his opponent's power.

"So strong?"

The spectators were horrified, with many veteran cultivators narrowing their eyes at Ye Chen's Hun Dun Shen Ding—that was a true divine artifact.

"Take that great ding for me."

Whether from Ku Yue in You Du or the Eight Huang Zi, they all issued such orders to their subordinates, recognizing the Hun Dun Shen Ding's extraordinary nature.

"It's forged from Da Luo Shen Tie."

On the ninth level of You Du, Ru Tian Zhu Que exclaimed in surprise, "And it has Hun Dun Qi, with significant origins in the inscribed characters. Just what is his background?"

Ah...!

As the surroundings marveled, a miserable cry echoed from the void.

Looking over, the Zi Yi Lao Zhe was disheveled, covered in blood and bones, unable to withstand Ye Chen's overwhelming assault.

I don't believe it!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe roared to the heavens, burning his essence blood to gain immense power.

Wind God Jue!

Ye Chen charged, his body like a gale, swift as lightning, his sword unmatched as it pierced the Zi Yi Lao Zhe's body.

Kill!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe fired a black killing sword from his brow, aimed straight at Ye Chen's forehead.

Shen Shang!

Ye Chen was prepared; Shen Shang’s divine light pulverized the black killing sword, heavily wounding the Zi Yi Lao Zhe again. The Zi Yi Lao Zhe staggered back, each step collapsing the void.

In your next life, never provoke those you shouldn't!

Ye Chen's words were ice-cold, like a heavenly decree, as he stepped through space to reach the Zi Yi Lao Zhe.

No... no!

The Zi Yi Lao Zhe's eyes were filled with terror, feeling death approach. In his final moments, he regretted being the one to step forward and even more for provoking Ye Chen, leading to this irreversible doom.

Pfft!

The blood was striking; Ye Chen's killing sword hesitated not at all, extinguishing the Zi Yi Lao Zhe's Yuan Shen in one stroke.
