Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 179: Where Confidence Lies

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Where Confidence Lies

"These three are Uncle Xu and his two junior brothers. All of them are Hua Realm experts, and Uncle Xu has half a foot into the Late Stage of Hua Realm, just a step away from my father’s level. I believe, Mr. Ye, under their siege, you will surely gain no advantage!" Jiang Yushuang was still smiling, but a cold gleam had already begun to shine in her eyes.

However, Ye Fei only spoke faintly, "Even with them, it’s not enough!"

"Heh, Mr. Ye, then why don’t you take another look around?" Jiang Yushuang said again.

Around?

Hearing this, Ye Fei glanced around and noticed that the men who had entered earlier were all pulling firearms from their bodies, aiming directly at him.

So many gunners, plus three Hua Realm Martial Artists!

This was Jiang Yushuang’s true trump card, her confidence in keeping Ye Fei here!

After all, no matter how strong a martial artist might be, in Jiang Yushuang’s eyes, they were still flesh and blood. With so many gunners here, even just one bullet from each of them would be enough to turn Ye Fei into a sieve!

Yet what surprised Jiang Yushuang was that, despite her carefully prepared trump card, Ye Fei still showed no particular expression.

Still indifferent, not even flinching an eyelid.

It was as if the firearms and the Hua Realm Martial Artists before him were nothing more than flimsy opponents he could sweep away with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Ye Fei like this, a surge of nameless fury rose in Jiang Yushuang’s heart!

Who was she?

She was the only daughter of Lord Jiang of the Southern Province!

She was the true golden child of the Southern Province!

Who didn’t bow and step aside in her presence? Who didn’t tremble when caught in the traps she meticulously designed?

Thus, Jiang Yushuang immediately scoffed coldly and said, "Mr. Ye, you certainly live up to your reputation as a leader of Su Province. Faced with a display like this from a humble woman such as me, you can still remain so calm! But I hope that, soon, you’ll remain just as calm!"

"Sigh..."

Hearing Jiang Yushuang’s words, Ye Fei couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head before saying, "You’ve mentioned that your father went into seclusion because of the provocation from a young Martial King. Did he ever tell you the name of that person?"

"What do you mean?"

Faced with Ye Fei’s seemingly inexplicable words, Jiang Yushuang immediately looked puzzled and asked, "Don’t tell me you’re claiming to be that young Martial King?"

"And what if I am? Alas, it’s a pity..." Ye Fei sighed as he spoke.

"Pity for what?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yushuang could no longer hide her anger.

In her heart, Jiang Yuanzheng had always been invincible! He was the pillar of the family and her spiritual backbone!

Yet Ye Fei had the audacity to claim to be the young Martial King who forced her father into seclusion. Didn’t that imply Ye Fei was stronger than her father?

How could Jiang Yushuang not be furious at this?

Thus, Jiang Yushuang immediately sneered coldly, "Pity for what?"

"Pity that your father isn’t here. Otherwise, he’d probably kneel before me, begging for my forgiveness! Begging me not to destroy your Jiang Family!" Ye Fei said coldly.

"How dare you!"

Jiang Yushuang was utterly enraged by these words and immediately said, "Attack! Make sure he never spouts nonsense again!"

"Alright!"

Uncle Xu roared and led his two junior brothers, charging at Ye Fei.

As a Hua Realm Martial Artist himself, Uncle Xu naturally understood that once a Hua Realm warrior unleashed their speed, it would be near-impossible for the surrounding bullets to hit their target.

Thus, he had to entangle Ye Fei with his junior brothers first, allowing the gunners to strike Ye Fei in one swift move—either capturing him alive or killing him on the spot.

Yet Ye Fei didn’t even glance at them. Instead, with a casual wave of his hand, a streak of black energy appeared, slashing directly across the sixpoints of the three.

Two of them had their chests pierced straight through, revealing massive, football-sized holes of blood.

Only Uncle Xu, protected by a Heart Protecting Mirror at his chest, avoided the same fate but still fell rolling to the ground, spitting mouthfuls of blood.

Three Hua Realm experts, vanquished in one move.

In an instant, everyone froze in shock.

"This... how is this possible!"

Watching Uncle Xu and his two junior brothers defeated in a single second, Jiang Yushuang was dumbstruck.

Wasn’t Uncle Xu a Mid-stage Hua Realm Martial Artist?

Wasn’t Ye Fei, at his age, supposed to be at most at the Late Stage of Hua Realm?

According to the plan, wasn’t Uncle Xu supposed to tie down Ye Fei while the gunners attacked him, forcing Ye Fei to kneel before her in the end?

Why did this battle feel as though it had ended before it had even begun?

"M-My Lady, we were wrong! This Ye Fei is likely... likely stronger than the Family Head!"

Seeing Jiang Yushuang frozen in place, Uncle Xu quickly wiped the blood from his lips and shouted loudly.

"Stronger... stronger than my father? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My father is invincible!" Jiang Yushuang immediately shook her head and screamed.

However, Ye Fei spoke faintly, "Jiang Yuanzheng should be at the Peak of Hua Realm, correct? And yet he dares to call himself invincible?"

"You... what do you mean?" Jiang Yushuang questioned in confusion.

"If someone is truly invincible, why would they retreat into seclusion because of me, seeking a breakthrough? Why not face me directly in battle?" Ye Fei said as he looked down on Jiang Yushuang with a cold gaze.

"So it’s true... you are the Innate Martial King?"

Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Jiang Yushuang took a deep breath and then scoffed coldly, "Even if you truly are that young Martial King, so what? An Innate Martial King is merely one level higher than my father! At the end of the day, you are still flesh and blood. Fire! All of you, open fire! I refuse to believe you can block this!"

At Jiang Yushuang’s command, the surrounding gunners, though visibly shaken by Ye Fei’s overwhelming aura, immediately pulled their triggers.

Hundreds of tongues of fire spewed instantly from the muzzles aimed at Ye Fei.

These bullets were extremely specialized, creating thick clouds of smoke as they were fired, quickly engulfing Ye Fei, as if he were being devoured by a raging beast.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately glanced at Uncle Xu, asking, "Is he... is he dead yet?"

"Cough... Rest assured, My Lady!"

Uncle Xu leaned against the wall as he slowly got up and said, "Even an Innate Martial King’s external Inner Strength could at most fend off ordinary bullets, but these bullets are specially-designed spiral armor-piercers, exceptionally lethal. At this close range, there’s absolutely no way he could block them!"

"As long as he can’t block them!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yushuang finally regained her composure from her earlier panic, once more assuming her image as the golden child of the Southern Province.

The sound of gunfire on the top floor was so concentrated that it naturally reached those on the floor below.

Ji Yanran, who had been resting her chin on her hand while waiting for Ye Fei, suddenly asked curiously, "What’s that sound?"

"Heh, it’s probably the sound of firecrackers!" Matthew said with a smile.

"Firecrackers? But it’s not New Year’s, why would there be firecrackers?" Ji Yanran asked in confusion.

But Matthew’s smile only grew wider as he replied, "Perhaps some mischievous kid is playing around! Yanran, would you like to order anything else?"

"N-No, I can’t eat any more! I’ll wait for Ye Fei to return!" Ji Yanran waved her hand.

"Waiting for Ye Fei?"

Hearing this, Matthew glanced toward the top floor and sneered inwardly, "Ye Fei likely won’t make it back! Faced with the deadly trap set by the Jiang Family’s young mistress, who could possibly survive?"

Top floor.

The smoke was gradually dissipating.

But Jiang Yushuang was no longer concerned with Ye Fei’s fate, just as Matthew predicted.

Faced with such concentrated firepower, Jiang Yushuang simply couldn’t believe that Ye Fei could still be alive.

So she merely resumed her seat at the head of the room and spoke in an orderly manner, "Inform Chen Xiaodao and his men to get ready. On one front, launch surprise attacks on the economy of various cities in Su Province. On another front, leak the information to Guo Wenyuan, Chen Xing, and Jia Yu, to let Su Province plunge into chaos. Also, have our allies—the Ma Family, Du Family, and Hee Family—prepare for action."
