Chapter 80: The Clash!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Big Man Lei was surprised to see a top Ninth Stage combatant like Ye Changxuan in a small place like the Ye Castle. Big Man Lei quickly restrained Tuo Bayu and looked at Ye Zhantian, Ye Zhanlong, and the rest. Big Man Lei could not gauge Ye Zhantian’s power level but he probably seemed strong. He was a little fearful for a small clan like the Ye Clan had so many high level fighters.

“Dear old man, the seven of us are hoping we could rest in your castle for a day or two. Your kindness is much appreciated,” Big Man Lei said. He was an extremely careful man. If it were not for the fact that the Ye Clan members had embarrassed him earlier, he would have never allowed Tuo Bayu to cause a scene. He thought they could have wiped out a little martial clan like the House of Ye but he was not expecting a challenge.

Had Ye Changxuan not interfered, Ye Chen would have killed that ruffian on sight. Ye Chen shot an angry look at Big Man Lei, Tuo Bayu, and the rest. He had never felt so angry before!

Ye Chen took a few steps ahead. Seeing that, Ye Changxuan and rest quickly took a couple of steps back.

Big Man Lei was surprised to see Ye Changxuan and his people fall back to make way for a teenager about the age of seventeen or eighteen. Could this young boy be the head of the Ye Clan?

Ye Chen’s Astral Body scanned Big Man Lei. Seven men – two top Ninth Stage, four mid-Ninth Stage, and Big Man Lei, whose powers were a little stronger. Was he at beginner Tenth Stage?

“Ye Ping, how are our men doing?” Ye Chen was furious. He cast a cold gaze toward Big Man Lei.

“Elder Chief, eight were hurt – all seriously wounded. Ye Mu’s...” Ye Ping was sniffling.

“You want to rest in my castle? Sure. You’ll have to get through all of us first. Perhaps then, you can stay here as long as you please, months even!” Ye Chen looked at the savages.

“Who the hell do you think you are, you little brat? You should be honored that we’re willing to stay. It shows we have mercy. You should be grateful!” Tuo Bayu raised an eyebrow, the top Ninth Stage pressure emitting from him once again.

The Ye Clan members were outraged by the incident.

“Elder Chief, let us at ’em!” They did not fear a Ninth Stage combatant. There was only one notion in their minds – no one can bully their people and get away with it!

Seeing how people of the Ye Clan did not value their lives, Big Man Lei let out a twisted smile. “There are limits to my patience. Tuo Bayu, Lan Guzhou, kill them!” He could tell there were a few proficient Ninth Stage combatants in the House of Ye, with the strongest being Ye Changxuan, though he was just slightly a level above Tuo Bayu in power. He could not tell what powers the teenage boy held but he figured the boy was Eighth Stage at most. For now, he would have Tuo Bayu, Lan Guzhou, and the rest of the men fight them to test his adversaries’ strength!

Tuo Bayu and Lan Guzhou went for Ye Changxuan while another charged at Ye Chen with a ravenous speed.

“Watch out, Elder Chief!”

Ye Changxuan was about to protect his grandson but Ye Chen intervened. With a wave of his right hand, a yellow and red silhouette leaped out from the crowd and let out a soft roar, charging toward Tuo Bayu and Lan Guzhou.

Tuo Bayu and Lan Guzhou were thrown off guard by the appearance of two beasts.

“Rank nine beasts!” Tuo Bayu shouted. He shifted his strike toward the Scarlet Sky Tiger. He was used to fighting beasts in the wilderness but he had not come across many rank nine beasts. Besides, the two beasts before him seemed stronger than the average rank nine creatures.

Bam, bam, bam! Tuo Bayu threw strikes after strikes at the tiger but it remained unscathed. It swiped back at the brute, leaving a few marks on Tuo Bayu’s chest.

On the other end, the Stormphantom Panther was giving Lan Guzhuo a difficult time too.

Both the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther were animals, which was to say the longer they fought, the more aggressive they became and the more erratic their attack patterns would be, making them unpredictable.

Big Man Lei’s expression changed. The Ye Castle had two rank nine beasts. His sources said the Ye Clan was nothing more but a measly little presence in the Eighteen Houses of Lianyun. How could they have such might? The Xiwu Empire was far too terrifying!

All of his men were proficient warriors carefully hand picked off the military camps. They never had trouble conquering the rest of the countries yet here, in Xiwu Empire, they met their contender.

Seeing how Tuo Bayu and Lan Guzhou were all having a difficult time, Big Man Lei channeled his Celestial Chi, preparing to take out the tiger and the panther. He could sense a lethal presence locking on him. That terrifying aura sent chills down his spine. He looked ahead. It was Ye Chen charging for him, his every step caused the surrounding Celestial Chi to ripple.

A violent gust swirled!

“I’m your opponent!” Ye Chen was covered in faint traces of light for he had activated the Chi Construct Barrier.

Big Man Lei could sense the pressure Ye Chen was exerting. He was startled! The teenager before him was a top Ninth Stage combatant. Just going by Celestial Chi alone, he was stronger than Tuo Bayu and Lan Guozhuo!

A top Ninth Stage teenager!

Big Man Lei could not wrap his head around things. Even among the royalty in the Nanman Kingdom, very few youths had managed to attain such power. How could the Xiwu Empire have such a prodigy? He was wrong to have misjudged the Xiwu Empire.

Now that Ye Chen was coming for him, Big Man Lei did not hold back either. He channeled his Celestial Chi, preparing to fight Ye Chen.

Ye Zhantian, Ye Changxuan, and the rest were worried about Ye Chen taking on Big Man Lei though they were equally curious about his might. The rest of them went for the remaining four ruffians behind Big Man lei.

“Beat those four up real good. I want them crippled!” Ye Changxuan ordered. These Nanman savages showed up at their doorstep, stormed their castle, and severely wounded their men. There was no way they were going to let it go just like that!

Ye Changxuan, Ye Zhantian, Ye Zhanlong, and Ye Zhanxiong and other Ninth Stage combatants struck at the men behind Big Man Lei.

Upon sensing their pressure, Big Man lei was taken aback. Ye Zhantian and Ye Zhanlong were Ninth Stage combatants too! How could the Ye Clan have these many Ninth Stage combatants? What the hell was going on? He was nervous. He had made a mistake storming this place today!

Bam, bam, bam. A group of Ninth Stage combatants clashed. The four men behind Big Man Lei were mid-Ninth Stage while Ye Zhantian and Ye Changxuan were top Ninth Stage. With so many combatants supporting them, they had the upper hand.

Big Man Lei was nervous. The Ye Clan harbored immense power. If he did not intervene, his men would be done for. He looked at Ye Chen. No matter how strong the boy was, his cultivation level would never be too high. He was just a teenager. He would never be Tenth Stage. Big Man Lei took a deep breath. As swift as the condor, he dashed toward Ye Chen.
