Chapter 741: Chapter 760: Where The Will Directs, Death! (Four more chapters)

Thud, thud!

The burly man was towering and proficient in combat skills. The siblings, merely teenagers, were directly kicked to the ground by the man, crying out in pain.

“What… what are you going to do?”

As she watched her children being beaten, Mother Chu’s voice trembled with fear. However, the burly man still sneered menacingly, now standing in front of Mother Chu.

“Do what?”

“If we don’t teach your whole family a lesson, you’ll never understand who really runs Jiangnan City.” The burly man smirked as he raised his fist, swinging it down toward Mother Chu.

“Kill him.”

Suddenly, a calm voice echoed quietly in the Chu family’s courtyard, and at that moment, something terrifying happened.

Splat!

A hand pierced through the burly man’s chest, blood spurting onto the ground. As the indifferent Yellow Fatty withdrew his hand, his face twisted into a sinister smile, discarding the man’s body on the ground as if throwing away trash.

Splat!

Blood and fragments of internal organs continued to spew from the man’s mouth. His body convulsed on the ground like a dead dog. His heart had been pierced by Yellow Fatty, and he was clearly beyond saving.

“It’s been a long time since I personally took a life. I really missed this.”

Yellow Fatty’s expression was intoxicated, and he deeply inhaled the scent of blood lingering in the air. His malicious and cruel demeanor was truly fearsome.

“Ah! Murder… there’s been a murder.” Chu Yue screamed. After all, she was just a young girl and had never witnessed such a horrific event.

And it wasn’t just Chu Yue— even now, Chu Tian and Mother Chu were pale with fright, retreating in utter fear. The Chu family couldn’t have imagined that the two strangers who had appeared so suddenly would so callously take a life—it was beyond their wildest fears.

“To kill someone and make it so bloody; this bad habit of yours really should be corrected.”

Ye Xuan frowned slightly. Killing a mere mortal required only a thought, but Yellow Fatty insisted on getting his hands dirty, creating such a bloody scene, which left Ye Xuan utterly speechless.

“Heh, heh!”

With a sycophantic smile, Yellow Fatty quickly bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan and said, “Sir, it’s just that I haven’t had a chance to exercise in a while. Next time, your subordinate will certainly not dare to do so.”

“You… sigh.”

Ye Xuan gave a resigned smile, saying nothing further. After all, Yellow Fatty was one of his most trusted subordinates, and Ye Xuan wouldn’t truly hold such a small matter against him.

“Who… who are you?”

By now, Lin Qianqian had finally recovered from her initial shock. Seeing her subordinate so brutally killed by Yellow Fatty’s hand threw her into a state of panic until that moment, when she finally awoke to the situation.

Lin Qianqian was no stranger to killing, nor to death, but such a gruesome way of taking a life was utterly chilling to her.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. To pierce through the chest with one palm. To kill someone and then remain so nonchalant, as if stepping on an ant, it struck extreme fear into Lin Qianqian’s heart.

“Scram.”

Yellow Fatty’s voice was harsh, ringing out like thunder, causing her to stumble back three steps, her face filled with terror as she looked towards Ye Xuan and his companion.

“Are… are you Ancient Martial Artists?” Lin Qianqian’s scream was filled with horror, as if she had unearthed an extremely frightening truth.

“Ancient Martial Artist?” The pudgy Huang sneered contemptuously. To him, so-called Ancient Martial Artists were less than ants in Ye Xuan’s presence, which made Huang disdain explaining anything to Lin Qianqian.

“What are you waiting for, slaughter them.”

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, extremely impatient with these flies, as he had no time to waste with ants like Lin Qianqian.

“Understood.”

With a ferocious smile, Huang’s fingertips sparked with Immortal Light, as if he was about to brutally kill Lin Qianqian and the others in the next moment.

“Don’t!”

Suddenly, before Huang could act, Chu Yue’s mother hurried to Ye Xuan’s side, pleading in panic, “No…don’t kill…please.”

Faced with her plea, Ye Xuan was momentarily taken aback, then realized that this was not the Earth Immortal Realm, but the Human World. Chu Yue’s mother and the others were mere mortals, unaccustomed to bloodshed and killing!

Perhaps it was because he had been away from the Human World for too long that Ye Xuan was all too familiar with killing. Driven by instinct, he had not considered it important, but to the Chu family, it was terrifying.

“Let them go.”

Ye Xuan spoke softly, which somewhat disappointed Huang as the Immortal Light at his fingertips quietly dissipated. The Chu family breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that if Lin Qianqian and the others truly died there, it would have been a disastrous affair.

“You…wait and see…I will not let you off.”

Mortals will always be just that, unable to imagine the level Ye Xuan is on. Lin Qianqian didn’t know she had just had a close brush with death at the Ghost Gate. Now she was leaving behind a harsh threat as she and her followers quickly left the Chu residence.

“What a nuisance!”

Watching Lin Qianqian’s retreating figure, Ye Xuan fully understood the rationale—unfinished business will come back to haunt you. He gave Huang a subtle look, which made Huang smile viciously, clearly understanding Ye Xuan’s intent.

“Master, I’m off to meet an old friend. I’ll come to you later.” Huang bowed respectfully and strolled out of the Chu residence. Ye Xuan knew all too well what Huang was off to do because it was his order from the start.

“This…big brother…are you an Ancient Martial Artist?” Chu Yue asked cautiously, as the body of the burly man still lay in the courtyard of the home, proof that what had just happened was no fabrication.

“Young man, you should leave quickly. You’ve killed a member of the Lin Family; they will not let you go,” said Chu Yue’s mother, wiser with age, urgently advising Ye Xuan.

Alas, Ye Xuan slowly shook his head. He did not leave but instead, with a gentle sweep of his sleeves, turned the bloody corpse on the ground to ashes, and even the bloodstains on the ground disappeared without a trace.

This miracle left the Chu family dumbfounded, while the siblings gazed at Ye Xuan with shining eyes, as if they were looking at an Immortal.

“Are…are you an Immortal?” Chu Tian asked, his voice trembling.

“An Immortal?”

Ye Xuan murmured softly to himself, a trace of helplessness passing through his eyes. He was no Immortal but a real Quasi-Saint, far beyond an Immortal’s comparison.

Of course, Ye Xuan naturally would not bother explaining this to the Chu family, as there was no need.

“Perhaps.”

Boom!

Suddenly, overwhelmed by emotion, Chu Tian prostrated himself and bowed repeatedly to Ye Xuan, his voice quivering, “Immortal above…please take me as your disciple.”

This scene left Ye Xuan momentarily stunned, then he chuckled helplessly. With a wave of his sleeve, a gust of wind helped Chu Tian rise from his kneeling position.

“I never take disciples. Let’s not speak of this again. However, I would like to stay in your home for a few days, and in return, I will teach you some Body Refining Technique,” Ye Xuan said, turning to Chu Yue’s mother, obviously seeking her consent.

“Ah yes, yes, stay, young man. My eldest son boards at school, so his room is empty,” Chu Yue’s mother hastily agreed.
