Chapter 400: Chapter 394: Must Die Today

In the Yan Mansion of the Inner City of Star Luo City, a servant hurried into the eastern courtyard, where the eldest son of the Yan Family, Yan Shaqi, lived.

"Hmm, Yan An, have you figured it all out?"

"Reporting to the young master, everything has been thoroughly investigated. I used the Token you gave me, spending a total of five thousand star points to gather news about this Ye Zhen. It’s all in this Jade Talisman." The servant presented a Jade Talisman.

"Hmm? Didn’t see that coming. This guy actually has some skills, even defeating Phantom Divine Sect’s Hand Extreme, Bu Changtian. No wonder he’s so powerful."

After reading the information in the Jade Talisman, Yan Shaqi looked unnaturally perturbed and somewhat disheartened, "It seems, killing him will be quite difficult."

"Young master, indeed, this man is very powerful. The intelligence states he cannot be opposed by anyone below the Soul Sea Realm. We should be careful."

Having said that, Yan An hesitated, a look of panic crossing his face, "About yesterday’s incident..."

"Yan An, what are you afraid of! What does it matter how strong he is when my father is a mighty Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm practitioner, just one step away from the Vein Forging Realm? As long as I stay in the mansion, what can he do to me?"

"Haha, I’ve decided. For the coming half-month, until that Ye Zhen leaves, I absolutely won’t step outside the mansion gates," laughed Yan Shaqi.

Hearing this, the wicked servant Yan An became anxious, "Young master, about those three corpses in the shop, should I go and dispose of them..."

"Dispose of them? Why? Those corpses are specifically left there to disgust Ye Zhen! He didn’t want me to mess with that little bitch? I did it anyway, so what can he do to me?

He actually dared to meddle in my affairs and even caused me to lose face in public..."

"Young master, it’s better to avoid further trouble, and besides, you had your fun last night, didn’t you?"

"It was fun, but that girl couldn’t take much. However, you’re right, less trouble is better than more. Go clean that place up right now!"

After reading the information about Ye Zhen in Stars Tower, Yan Shaqi felt a sense of wariness towards Ye Zhen, especially the news that Ye Zhen had survived the pursuit of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"Right away, young master!"

Yan An agreed and scurried out like a wisp of smoke.

Watching Yan An leave, Yan Shaqi couldn’t help but reveal a reminiscent smile at the corners of his mouth, savoring the memory of last night’s pleasure.

Ah!

Suddenly, a heartrending scream pierced the air, jolting Yan Shaqi from his pleasant reverie and contorting his face with shock.

Startled, Yan Shaqi recognized the scream as strikingly familiar; it sounded very much like Yan An. His expression darkening, Yan Shaqi hurried out to see what had happened.

No sooner had he stepped into the courtyard than Yan Shaqi saw a blood-soaked figure flying towards him, but before reaching halfway, the body split into six or seven large chunks, as though torn limb from limb.

The face flying towards him was twisted in agony.

Yan Shaqi recognized that the man was none other than his just recently dispatched servant—Yan An.

Bang!

With the fragmented corpse of Yan An landing heavily, a figure appeared in Yan Shaqi’s field of vision.

Or more accurately, four figures.

However, three of them were bound together by a strand of Spiritual Power by Ye Zhen, their bulging eyes and blood-stained faces staring blankly at Yan Shaqi at this moment.

But what truly terrified Yan Shaqi were Ye Zhen’s blood-red eyes, radiating endless killing intent, which made Yan Shaqi instantly feel a chilling dread.

"Yan Shaqi, you beast!"

"Die!"

With a fierce shout, Ye Zhen moved swiftly, charging at Yan Shaqi.

"Quick, stop him!"

Yan Shaqi pointed to two guards rushing at the sound and yelled urgently.

Pffft!

Ye Zhen, like a human-shaped monster, completely disregarded the two charging guards, barreling straight past them. In an instant as the shadow flashed by, the two guards were sent flying with screams of agony.

"Father!"

"Father, save me!"

Seeing Ye Zhen charging towards him, whether out of fear or instinct, Yan Shaqi’s shrieks echoed.

Almost the instant Yan Shaqi’s cry rang out, the Deputy Tower Master of Stars Tower, Yan Kun’s figure suddenly appeared, "Who dares to commit murder in my Yan Mansion!"

"Ye Zhen?"

At almost the same moment, swathed in surging Spirit Light, Yan Kun charged at Ye Zhen.

The arrival of Yan Shaqi’s father, Yan Kun, was so timely not because of Yan Shaqi’s cry. If Yan Kun appeared each time Yan Shaqi shouted, wouldn’t Yan Kun turn into Yan Shaqi’s summoned beast?

The truth was that Yan An’s scream at the mansion gate had reached Yan Kun, who was resting inside the mansion, and that’s why he arrived at such a coincidental moment, barely saving his son Yan Shaqi from Ye Zhen’s blade.

"Father, kill him, kill Ye Zhen, this thief! He has been troubling me time and again, trying to kill me, clearly not putting your status as Deputy Tower Master in his eyes!"

"Father, I am your only son. This man keeps trying to kill me; he wants to cut off your lineage! This time, we absolutely cannot let this brat off lightly!"

Seeing his father arrive, Yan Shaqi felt reassured and began to stir up trouble from the sidelines.

So you, Ye Zhen, are invincible in the Spirit Transformation Realm?

Then let my father, a mighty practitioner at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, take you down.

As Yan Kun confronted the suddenly arriving Ye Zhen bearing corpses, he too felt shock and anger. With a surge of Divine Soul Power, he launched an all-out attack on Ye Zhen.

Yan Kun was also enraged.

As the Deputy Tower Master of Stars Tower, he would typically sit on equal footing with over ninety percent of the Sect Leaders in the Black Dragon Domain. Now, he had been repeatedly bullied and provoked by the juvenile Ye Zhen—how could he not be furious!

Yan Kun had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would severely punish Ye Zhen today. Otherwise, if word got out that he had been pushed around by Ye Zhen, his authority as Deputy Tower Master would be utterly undermined.

At this moment, Ye Zhen was boiling with rage as well, his anger burning like a crown of flames above his head. Yan Kun could come at him however he wanted; Ye Zhen wouldn’t utter a single word in response.

Besides, would reason even prevail here?

No matter what Ye Zhen said, Yan Kun would never hand his son, Yan Shaqi, over to Ye Zhen for punishment.

Today, Ye Zhen had only one goal in mind—to slay Yan Shaqi!

Martial Artists at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm were indeed terrifying.

Ye Zhen charged left and right but couldn’t break through Yan Kun’s blockades to seize the opportunity to slay Yan Shaqi!

It was, in fact, Ye Zhen’s first time confronting a Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist head-on, all by himself. The moment they engaged, Yan Kun’s attacks seemed endless, leaving Ye Zhen gasping for breath.

Bang bang bang!

Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor kept flashing brilliantly, then fading—indicating that Yan Kun had hit him from time to time, with the Red Jade Spirit Armor offering Ye Zhen its support.

But as strong as the Red Jade Spirit Armor was, it could only block Yan Kun’s Spiritual Power attacks; the sheer force of each strike could not be mitigated.

With every hit from Yan Kun, Ye Zhen was forced to retreat a step, and with each step he retreated, the floor tiles beneath his feet shattered, leaving a trail of broken tiles in his wake.

However, at critical moments, the Floating Cloud Finger and the Red Jade Seal would fly out, always managing to repel Yan Kun.

"Ye Zhen, is this the confidence behind your repeated challenges against me? With such a meager Cultivation, you dare provoke me. Do you not know how to write the word ’death,’ or do you think I’m not bold enough to kill you?"

Yan Kun spoke harshly, but deep down, he was genuinely shocked.

He had previously estimated Ye Zhen’s strength to be equivalent to a First Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist. Yet, when they actually fought, he found Ye Zhen’s power to be higher than he had imagined.

Even a Third Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist would likely not be able to withstand more than a hundred moves under his attack, but Ye Zhen had done so without showing any signs of defeat!

"Whether you dare to kill me, I don’t know, but your son Yan Shaqi... must die today!"

"Arrogant fool, courting death!"

Yan Kun was utterly furious. A fearsome gleam flashed, and ice-blue Spiritual Power surged out violently. His entire body spun explosively towards Ye Zhen, like a spinning top.

In his furious spin, sharp Spirit Thorns condensed from the ice-blue Spiritual Power around Yan Kun. It was easy to imagine that if one was grazed by the Spirit Thorns on this blur of an Ice Gyro, even a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse would suffer broken bones and torn tendons.

Everywhere the Ice Gyro formed by Yan Kun passed tore through the air with a whistling sound that was ear-piercingly sharp. Moreover, as it spun, the speed of the Ice Gyro grew exponentially, eventually reaching a blinding brilliance akin to streaks of lightning!

Ye Zhen’s pupils contracted suddenly!

As the massive Ice Gyro approached, he pointed out lightly with his index finger, and abruptly, a segment of a jade-colored finger appeared, colliding with the Ice Gyro.

Floating Cloud Finger.

The moment the jade-colored Floating Cloud Finger touched the Ice Gyro, the entire Ice Spiral Snake trembled violently, and the ice-blue radiance dimmed considerably.

But the next instant, the Ice Gyro, spinning at the speed of thousands of revolutions per breath—especially with its sturdy ice blades that were like the most robust cutting machines—sheared through the Floating Cloud Finger with high velocity.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Spiritual Power ice blades scraped across the Floating Cloud Finger. The Floating Cloud Finger, as if it had been whittled away tens of thousands of times, was instantly worn down and shattered!

Ye Zhen’s expression stiffened for the first time!

This was the first time his Floating Cloud Finger had been directly dispersed by an opponent.

However, Ye Zhen was not surprised.

His Floating Cloud Finger had been dispersed head-on mainly due to the special nature of Yan Kun’s Ice Gyro Technique; by relying on high-speed rotation, it ground down Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger with sheer Cultivation.

Ye Zhen estimated that the move which had shattered his Floating Cloud Finger had depleted at least twenty percent of Yan Kun’s Cultivation.

Bang!

Ye Zhen’s figure was sent flying by the high-speed Ice Gyro, and the delicate breaking sound of the Red Jade Spirit Armor rang out sharply.

A muffled grunt, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth.

The ice-blue light dissipated abruptly, revealing Yan Kun’s figure,

Yan Kun’s complexion was somewhat pale; the point of the Floating Cloud Finger to his waist had been anything but comfortable.

The segment of the Floating Cloud Finger had consumed thirty percent of his Cultivation. To be honest, if it weren’t for the persistence of his Ice Spin Annihilation, which had forcefully ground it down using Cultivation, he might not have been able to catch it at all.

The next instant, Yan Kun posed as if to attack, pointing directly at Ye Zhen!

"Ye Zhen, I have already shown mercy. If you know what’s good for you, scram! If you don’t leave now, I’ll have no choice but to start a massacre!"

Despite his ferocious words, Yan Kun was inwardly frustrated.

Ye Zhen’s current identity was somewhat special; indeed, he could not be killed so easily.

Most importantly, he had deployed Ice Spin Annihilation, and Ye Zhen had suffered only minor injuries. Even Yan Kun himself began to doubt whether he could slay Ye Zhen.

Hearing Yan Kun’s words, Ye Zhen suddenly turned and began to walk away.

Seeing this, Yan Kun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Ye Zhen was about to retreat, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically because Ye Zhen had merely walked over to the vicinity of the three corpses of the Banxia family.

Pointing angrily at the pitiful dead bodies, Ye Zhen shouted, "I would like to leave, but they, they’re not allowing me to do so!" (To be continued.
