Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Preparing to Leave

Here is the translation:

"Yes, Miss!" A henchman immediately nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Yushuang looked at Uncle Xu and said, "Uncle Xu, you should also go back and rest to recover. As for compensation for your two junior brothers, I will send someone to deliver condolence funds!"

"Thank you, Miss Jiang. My junior brothers sacrificed their lives for the Jiang family’s grand cause—it was a worthy death indeed!"

Uncle Xu glanced sorrowfully at the corpses of his two junior brothers, sighed slightly, and added, "Furthermore, for the two to join forces and perish against someone like Ye Fei, an Innate Martial King, it does not dishonor their name!"

Jiang Yushuang understood immediately, smiled, and responded, "Rest assured, Uncle Xu. To the outside world, we will claim that you and your two junior brothers together killed Ye Fei!"

"Thank you, Miss Jiang!" Uncle Xu’s expression lit up with joy.

After all, as martial artists, their reputation and honor were of utmost importance.

If Jiang Yushuang truly credited the slaying of Ye Fei to Uncle Xu and his two junior brothers, their fame would surely resonate throughout the Chinese Cultivation World!

"While you’re busy debating over who gets to claim someone’s death, isn’t it wiser to confirm first—whether they’re truly dead?"

At that moment, a playful voice suddenly echoed from within the smoke behind Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu turned his head sharply in terror, his face frozen: "Ye Fei? You... You’re not dead?!"

Before his words even fully fell, a hand abruptly clutched his face.

In an instant, Uncle Xu, unable to resist, was reduced to a dried corpse and collapsed to the ground.

At the same moment, a foot slowly stepped out of the haze, and Ye Fei, enshrouded in sinister black energy, emerged before Jiang Yushuang, his icy-cold eyes fixed intently on her.

"Uncle Xu!"

As Uncle Xu was reduced to a dried husk, Jiang Yushuang’s face instantly turned pale with terror.

Staring at Ye Fei, she stammered in shock, "You... How is it possible that you’re not dead?"

"Because I am powerful!"

Ye Fei replied nonchalantly, his fingers flicking lightly. Instantly, the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber materialized in midair, towering as tall as a man, and descended fiercely.

The razor-sharp sword light immediately swept through the surrounding henchmen, reducing the scene to a ghastly tableau of severed limbs and rivers of blood.

With that single strike, nine out of ten henchmen were obliterated.

"Mon... Monster! You’re nothing short of a monster!"

Witnessing the sheer horror unfolding before her, Jiang Yushuang finally felt fear—true fear!

It was the first time in her life she had experienced such visceral terror!

She had never imagined that Ye Fei’s power had transcended the realm of mortals. To someone like her, he was practically a god—unknowable and unreachable.

"A monster, you say? Perhaps!"

Ye Fei smirked faintly and casually pointed again. The Heavenly Slash Demon Saber sliced through the throats of the remaining henchmen, swiftly decapitating them all.

In an instant, the grand hall was left with only Ye Fei and Jiang Yushuang.

Ye Fei then retrieved the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, stared coldly at Jiang Yushuang, and said calmly, "But I would prefer people call me a demon—a bloodthirsty Demon King!"

"De... Demon King..."

Staring at the corpses strewn across the hall and the rivers of blood soaking the floor, then looking again at Ye Fei’s emotionless gaze, Jiang Yushuang collapsed helplessly into her chair, overcome by sheer despair.

No matter how meticulous her preparations had been, no matter how confident she was in her authority over the Southern Province, all her efforts had proven futile against the unspeakable force Ye Fei wielded.

"Demon King, indeed!"

Ye Fei looked down at Jiang Yushuang and remarked indifferently, "Because of your foolishness, these people are dead, and you will pay with your life, too!"

"You... You’re going to kill me?"

For once, Jiang Yushuang panicked, truly panicked!

She, who always stood high above others, had never dreamed she would become someone else’s prey waiting to be slaughtered.

If someone had told Jiang Yushuang about this scenario yesterday, she would’ve laughed it off without hesitation.

After all, she was the daughter of Lord Jiang Manor, the pride of the Southern Province!

But here and now, all her pride had been shattered, rendered meaningless under Ye Fei’s Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

Hence, Jiang Yushuang cried out, "You... You kill so recklessly—aren’t you afraid of being punished by the law?"

"Punished by the law?"

Ye Fei surveyed their surroundings and shook his head. "Did you think about that when you set up this ambush?"

"I..."

Jiang Yushuang was rendered speechless.

The Jiang family, as the prominent overlord of the Southern Province, was akin to its emperor. What did murdering someone matter to her?

Yet now, aside from clinging to the law, Jiang Yushuang had no notion of what might constrain Ye Fei and stop him from taking her life!

Ye Fei noticed Jiang Yushuang’s silence and chuckled lightly, "You know full well that your Jiang family has never cared about such things. So why would I?"

"But... But someone will surely come to punish you!" Jiang Yushuang mumbled weakly.

"Punish me? Sure! China is a grand country filled with talent. Naturally, there are people stronger than me. However..."

As he spoke, Ye Fei raised five fingers with a confident smile. "That number certainly won’t exceed this, and absolutely none of them will include the likes of your Jiang family!"

Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Jiang Yushuang’s initial reaction was outrage at his arrogance!

In such a vast China, Ye Fei claimed that fewer than five people could surpass him?

Who did he think he was?

Was he truly a Demon King? Truly a god?

Yet looking at Ye Fei’s absolute confidence and feeling his overpowering aura, she found herself unable to refute. On some level, she suspected he might be right!

Thus, Jiang Yushuang gritted her teeth and boldly said, "My father!"

"My father is currently in seclusion. Once he emerges, he will surely ascend to the level of the Innate Martial King. By then, you’ll meet your end!"

An Innate Martial King?

Hearing her words, Ye Fei sighed and replied, "I truly overestimated you. As Jiang Yuanzheng’s daughter, you have no understanding of the cultivation world. Well, no surprise—you aren’t a cultivator yourself. You wouldn’t grasp why Jiang Yuanzheng secluded himself."

"You—do you know why my father is in seclusion?" Jiang Yushuang asked coldly.

Ye Fei took a step forward, and the surrounding tables vibrated audibly.

"Because Jiang Yuanzheng knows: below the Innate, all are mere ants!"

Bang!

Ye Fei stepped forward again, and the overhead lights began to flicker.

"Because Jiang Yuanzheng knows: Su Province is too close to the Southern Province. If he doesn’t ascend, the moment he crosses paths with me, he’s finished."

Another step forward, and the entire hall trembled!

"Because Jiang Yuanzheng knows: even if he ascends to the level of Martial King, he still won’t be my match!"

Crash!

With his final step, all the glass in the windows shattered, the floor cracked apart, and the tables and chairs disintegrated into dust!

"Because Jiang Yuanzheng knows: I transcend the Innate Martial King. I have reached the Half-step Divine Realm!"

Rumble!

As Ye Fei’s words fell, several bolts of lightning suddenly struck the ground outside the broken windows.

Ye Fei stood amidst the lightning, staring at Jiang Yushuang with the presence of a descending Demon God.

This overwhelming aura, this suffocating pressure, these four earth-shaking steps.

Jiang Yushuang knelt on the ground in utter defeat, trembling with repentance and dread.

At that moment, she finally understood the meaning of unparalleled strength, the essence of invincibility!

In the face of such absolute power, all calculations, all schemes were rendered meaningless!

Because to such a formidable figure, all plots could be shattered with a single punch!

Ye Fei looked at Jiang Yushuang, who was kneeling before him, and slowly raised his hand—intent on delivering a fatal strike.

What Jiang Yuanzheng, what Southern Province overlord—all were mere clowns in Ye Fei’s eyes.

Dare to plot against Ye Fei? Then the price must be paid.
