Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Dark Energy Master

Fast! Incredibly fast!

This was the first thought that flashed through Zhao Banshan’s mind.

How fast is lightning? At this moment, he felt that Ye Xuan’s speed surpassed that of lightning by a margin, so fast that he couldn’t even prepare.

From the start of his move to effortlessly subduing him, it took only a fraction of a second, maybe even less!

Ye Xuan gripped Zhao Banshan’s neck as if he was holding a small chicken, lifting him off the ground and suspending him mid-air.

His face was emotionless to the extreme, showing not the slightest fluctuation, as he calmly stared at the reddened face of Zhao Banshan and said, "Although I greatly admire your will, your strength is too weak to support your aspirations of becoming a hero. Therefore, what you’re doing now appears quite ridiculous to me! For Zhao Wenguang’s sake, I’ll spare your life today, but if you dare attack me again, I will not hesitate to kill you!"

Having said this, Ye Xuan grabbed the other’s neck and tossed him out the window as casually as if he were throwing out trash.

With a whooshing sound!

Zhao Banshan’s body, like a battered sack, tumbled through the air, tracing a parabola and shattering the window glass with a loud crash before falling outside the villa.

Boom!

Accompanied by the splintering tempered glass, he landed on the ground outside the villa, carving out numerous cuts on his body as he rolled several times before coming to a stop.

At this moment, Zhao Banshan felt as though his body had fallen apart, his bones broken in several places, the cuts from the shattered glass like countless ants gnawing at him, the pain so intense that he couldn’t move for quite a while.

Enduring the excruciating pain of his broken bones and torn muscles, he lifted his head to look into the villa. As he watched Ye Xuan walk down the stairs, a startling thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could this young man be a master of Dark Energy?

The thought had barely formed when Zhao Banshan’s body shuddered, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Perhaps, only the strength of a master of Dark Energy could explain Ye Xuan’s overbearing power!

Masters of Dark Energy, also known as masters of Inner Strength, stand at the pinnacle of martial artists, incomparable to those who master overt energy.

They have cultivated a force within their bodies, ’Inner Strength,’ which differs from external physical strength and is somewhat akin to the internal power described in martial arts novels.

When fighting opponents, masters of Dark Energy no longer rely on mere physical strength but can use Inner Strength to assist them, making their power a hundred times stronger than that of those who master overt energy.

In today’s modern society, masters of Dark Energy in Yan Country are exceedingly rare. Especially within the secular world, such masters are even more scarce and hard to come by.

Most masters of Dark Energy tend to hide in mountains and forests, secluded from the world for their cultivation. And Zhao Wenguang, Zhao Banshan’s great-grandfather, is one such master!

Every martial artist able to cultivate Dark Energy is gifted, like Zhao Wenguang, whose talent for cultivation must not be underestimated, otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a master of Dark Energy.

Even so, Zhao Wenguang is now over a hundred years old, and it wasn’t until he was eighty-nine that he managed to cultivate Dark Energy.

How old is Ye Xuan now? Barely in his early twenties, and yet he has mastered Dark Energy at such an age, which is utterly inconceivable!

This was not merely a matter of genius; he was nothing short of a freak.

It was then that Zhao Banshan realized that there might be truth in Ye Xuan’s claim of being a peer to Zhao Wenguang.

As both were masters of Dark Energy, Ye Xuan’s master must be of a higher generation than Zhao Wenguang; otherwise, he couldn’t fathom who else could be Ye Xuan’s master?

Thus, Ye Xuan could indeed hold his own amongst senior masters, the majestic figures comparable to Mount Tai and the Big Dipper.

He was a master of Dark Energy, his strength more than sufficient, and his seniority was not lacking – it was only in age that he was different.

And age, was just the least important yet the most shocking aspect!

Zhao Banshan’s eyes were filled with horror. A dark energy master in his early twenties—if word of this got out, who knows how many people would be astounded.

He struggled to prop himself up and looked towards the villa where Song Bangyao was. After his eyes flickered for a moment, he let out a sigh internally.

At this time, he had no room to care about the other’s fate. Song Bangyao’s life was probably beyond saving, and if he foolishly intervened again, he had no doubt that next time Ye Xuan would not hold back and would kill him right there!

Promises were important, but his own life was more so; it was not worth it to throw his life away for a worthless cause.

Zhao Banshan did not linger any longer, and he turned to walk outside the courtyard.

"Ah..."

As he stepped out of the courtyard, suddenly, he heard a scream from the villa—it was Song Bangyao’s voice.

He shuddered and quickly turned back, just in time to see Ye Xuan casually walking to the entrance of the villa.

Seeing this, Zhao Banshan’s heart skipped a beat. He dared not stay a moment longer, and as if his feet were strapped with rockets, he dashed forward with great speed.

Muttering to himself, "Brother Song is likely doomed. I must rush back to Jinmen. A twenty-year-old dark energy master is too terrifying! How did he train?"

Quickly, his figure merged with the darkness outside the courtyard and disappeared!

How had he trained? Even Ye Xuan himself was not clear.

All he remembered was, since the year he turned ten when his master Chen Xuanba rescued him, he slept only two hours a day, and spent the remainder under his master’s hellish training.

For a full eight years, until he turned eighteen, did he successfully complete his training and escape from the torment of Chen Xuanba’s clutches.

Many of the wounds on his body were not from carrying out missions, but were scars left by his master’s harsh training!

In Chen Xuanba’s heart, he had high hopes for his disciple. Although he often acted like a playful old man, joking and frolicking with Ye Xuan, when it came to training and serious matters, he never held back.

Leaving Song Bangyao’s villa, Ye Xuan hurried down Yan Mountain and, at the foot of the mountain, hailed a taxi to return to the Lu Family courtyard.

...

The next morning, East Sea City was shaken by an explosive piece of news.

Last night at eleven o’clock, Song Bangyao, the Chairman of Bangyao Group and the Family Head of the Song Family, was assassinated in his own villa!

As soon as this news broke, it spread rapidly, stirring a huge sensation across both the underworld and legitimate circles in East Sea City, its impact no less than a category ten hurricane.

After an investigation by the police, it was discovered that on the night Song Bangyao was killed, he had deployed many subordinates inside the villa, yet they still failed to prevent his assassination.

However, it was peculiar that after reviewing the surveillance footage of Song Bangyao’s villa and the sky-net surveillance of the Yan Mountain villa district, no suspicious individuals were seen.

From ten-thirty to eleven o’clock, the surveillance recordings went blank as if they had failed to function properly, but after eleven o’clock, everything returned to normal!

The police suspected that someone might have used high-tech methods to block signals, leading to the loss of some surveillance footage.

What’s more baffling is that upon detailed investigation, it was discovered that most of Song Bangyao’s men were injured by weapons wielded by their own people.

This investigation result surprised everyone, as it was too bizarre.

And to this point, the police had not been able to understand why Song Bangyao had put up such a defensive posture in his own villa that night.

They... seemed to be guarding against someone!
