Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 206: Letting You Off the Hook

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Letting You Off the Hook

As an elder of the Hao Family, though Du Min held the position of Young Madam, her status was far inferior to that of Elder Liu.

What’s more, at this moment, Elder Liu despised Du Min to the core!

Of all people to provoke, why did you travel so far just to antagonize Ye Fei, that God of Killing?

Isn’t this inviting catastrophe upon the Hao Family?

Shortly afterward, Elder Liu shifted his gaze back to Ye Fei and said, "Senior Ye, lowering yourself like this truly diminishes your stature, wouldn’t you agree?"

"Heh, what is it you want to say?"

Ye Fei slowly withdrew his palm and asked.

Seeing Ye Fei draw back his hand, Elder Liu instantly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and said, "How about this—I’ve heard you have a disciple. My level is comparable to that of your disciple. Let me duel him. If I win, I humbly ask Senior Ye to spare the Hao Family!"

His level comparable to Ye Fei’s disciple?

A duel with Ye Fei’s disciple to spare the Hao Family?

Upon hearing Elder Liu’s words, Ye Fei’s heart immediately filled with ridicule.

Truth be told, Elder Liu was quite clever!

After all, Ye Fei’s reputation in the Chinese Cultivation World wasn’t just built on fearsome power. The most noteworthy aspect of Ye Fei was his vengeful nature!

The Shangguan Family attempted to plot against Ye Fei and seize his treasures; Ye Fei crippled Shangguan Jingyun’s cultivation.

The True Essence Sect sought to oppress Ye Fei; he stormed their gates and forced their Sect Leader, Gui Xuzi, to surrender.

Wang Tong injured Ye Fei’s disciple; Ye Fei slew him atop Purple Mist Mountain.

The Ma Family tried to detonate a bomb to kill members of the Ye Family; Ye Fei annihilated the Ma Family.

And let’s not forget the recent events at Tongqi Mountain, where Ye Fei, provoked by the Xuanyin Sect, slew two Innate Experts and subdued the legendary martial artist Luo Wenchang.

All of this pointed to one undeniable truth: provoking Ye Fei was tantamount to signing your own death warrant!

Thus, Elder Liu immediately addressed Ye Fei as "Senior" and schemed to challenge Ye Fei’s disciple.

In this way, he could avoid the lethal situation directly under Ye Fei’s palm, while using the duel to protect the Hao Family!

Most importantly, defeating Ye Fei’s disciple would also serve as a matter of great prestige for Elder Liu!

He firmly believed that human potential has limits.

While Ye Fei was undoubtedly strong, how could someone so young possibly have trained a disciple who’d reached the level of an Innate Martial King?

So, after speaking, Elder Liu couldn’t help but silently applaud his own brilliance.

As for how Du Yuntao and Du Min viewed him, Elder Liu couldn’t care less.

At this moment, securing his life and preserving the Hao Family in the hands of the famed Ye Fei was already a win-win situation.

What Elder Liu didn’t realize was that everything had already been seen through by Ye Fei. That’s why Ye Fei’s calm query followed: "You truly wish to challenge my disciple?"

"No, no! Just a friendly sparring session with a slight reward attached for the victor, that’s all!"

Elder Liu quickly said, "Senior Ye, as a lofty expert, surely you wouldn’t refuse this, would you?"

While speaking, Elder Liu pretended to be humble as he keenly observed Ye Fei’s expression.

Ye Fei slowly took a seat and said, "You only mentioned what happens if you win, but what if you lose?"

"Lose?"

Elder Liu froze momentarily.

He was at the Half-step Innate level, while Ye Fei, despite his strength, had yet to break into the God Realm and was merely at the Innate Martial King Realm.

With only a slight gap between himself and Ye Fei, how could a disciple of Ye Fei possibly be his opponent?

Thus, Elder Liu chuckled and said, "Senior Ye, if I lose, I will leave myself entirely at your disposal..."

At this point, Elder Liu glanced in Ren Yuan’s direction, obviously regarding Ren Yuan as Ye Fei’s disciple.

Yet Ren Yuan merely cast a disdainful look at Elder Liu, showing no reaction whatsoever. Instead, it was Ye Fei’s side, where a figure resembling a steward—Ma Ning—slowly stepped forward.

"Ma Ning, go ahead!" Ye Fei said indifferently.

"Yes! Your disciple will not disgrace the master’s honor!" Ma Ning clasped his hands and replied.

After speaking, Ma Ning turned to face Elder Liu and began unleashing the aura of his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

"This... This... This..."

Elder Liu, sensing Ma Ning’s aura, was immediately dumbfounded and stammered, "Senior Ye, this... this person is?"

"This is my disciple, Ma Ning! Weren’t you going to challenge him? Shall we begin!" Ye Fei said with a smile.

Disciple Ma Ning?

An Innate Expert?

Elder Liu was instantly thrown into chaos!

How could he possibly challenge? That would be no different than courting death!

Furthermore, how could Ye Fei’s disciple be an Innate Expert? Didn’t that mean Ye Fei not only held immense personal strength but could also train disciples to the Innate level? What kind of monstrous existence was this!

In a panic, Elder Liu hurriedly exclaimed, "How could this be! Senior Ye, you must be joking!"

BOOM!

Before Elder Liu could finish his words, Ye Fei remained seated, but his aura underwent an abrupt transformation.

"Do I seem like I’m joking?"

Ye Fei’s tone cooled, his voice carrying an ethereal weight that seemed to emanate from the Nine Netherworld, causing Elder Liu to break out in a cold sweat.

However, a Half-step Innate, no matter how capable, still paled in comparison to facing Ma Ning, whose Foundation Establishment power matched an Innate Expert. Elder Liu was utterly devoid of any fighting spirit!

He had no choice but to collapse to his knees, trembling as he pleaded, "Senior... Senior Ye, I... I am only Half-step Innate, whereas... whereas your disciple... Your disciple is an Innate Expert. This... This leaves me with no chance!"

"If that is the case, then die!"

Ye Fei let out a cold snort as Ma Ning’s punch landed squarely on Elder Liu’s chest.

A blood-curdling scream echoed as the once arrogant Elder Liu collapsed to the ground, his face frozen in disbelief.

As for Du Yuntao and Du Min, they were utterly stunned.

"Elder Liu... Liu... Elder Liu was... You even killed Elder Liu?"

Du Min was on the verge of madness!

Elder Liu had been one of the top experts in the Hao Family and her key ally on this trip!

Initially, she thought visiting the Ye Family to provoke Ye Fei and seize Ji Yuyan would be a simple mission, one not even requiring Elder Liu’s intervention.

But Hao Gou was slaughtered, Elder Liu intervened, and she thought all was well and good.

Now Elder Liu was dead too—how could she possibly accept this?

Du Min clasped her head and screamed, "This... this isn’t real! This isn’t real! It must be a dream! You little beast, how could... how could you possibly be this strong?"

"Silence!"

Without sparing a single glance toward Du Min, Ye Fei released a wave of Qi Force that instantly rendered her unconscious. His gaze then shifted to Du Yuntao, whose face had turned pale.

"Senior Ye, I..."

Du Yuntao opened his mouth, but under Ye Fei’s piercing gaze, he struggled to form words.

Unlike his daughter, Du Yuntao was far more composed and had grasped the situation.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth before him was unquestionably more formidable than Elder Liu, and likely stronger than the entire Hao Family!

And yet, he had foolishly charged headlong into disaster, effectively digging his own grave!

But rather than immediately killing him, Ye Fei frowned slightly before calmly saying, "Take this message back to the Hao Family: someday, Ye Fei will visit. Now, take your daughter and leave!"

"Yes... Yes, I’ll leave right away! I’ll leave now!"

Du Yuntao, as though granted a reprieve, hastily nodded his head, then scooped up Du Min and fled toward the front gate alongside Qi Chunmei.

As for Elder Liu’s corpse, not once did he dare cast a look back.

Seeing this unfold, Ma Ning felt puzzled and asked, "Master, are you simply letting him go?"

"An acquaintance is arriving shortly. I merely want to keep these matters from reaching them."

As Ye Fei spoke, with a casual wave of his hand, Demon Flames incinerated Elder Liu’s corpse into ashes. His gaze turned toward the main gate of the Ye Family.

Soon, a young girl with a naïve expression timidly entered the hall.

Upon spotting Ye Fei, her face immediately broke into a smile as she ran forward and cheerfully called out, "Brother Ye, you’re really here! I thought my dad was lying to me!"
