Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Chapter 274 Hu Long had not expected that his eldest brother, Ye Tianchen, would not only refrain from being angry upon hearing of the trouble but, on the contrary, he even revealed a smile. Hu Long didn’t know what was going on, but he also calmed down quite a bit because he believed in Ye Tianchen’s abilities.

Ye Tianchen and Hu Long walked over together, and when they arrived in the bamboo forest, they found Bao Tianglong and a man in camouflage clothing fighting fiercely, exchanging blows with great intensity. Wuxue and Lin Duan looked on anxiously, while the other onlookers that Wuxue had brought along were simply enjoying the spectacle.

Bao Tianglong was a former general of the Heavenly Gang Level, with absolutely formidable strength. When Ye Tianchen was at the Luo family’s, he had fought Bao Tianglong with all his might, knowing how strong he was. He hadn’t expected that among the people Wuxue had found this time, there would be someone capable of rivaling Bao Tianglong. He felt somewhat surprised but more delighted; the kind of powerful team he wanted was not about quantity but quality. This had always been Ye Tianchen’s philosophy—to build his own force, simply having a bunch of strawmen was definitely not going to work.

At this time, the people around grew curious when they saw Hu Long and a young man around twenty years old approaching. They couldn’t help but quietly discuss Ye Tianchen.

"Damn, who is this kid?"

"A greenhorn who’s still wet behind the ears, but he sure has an imposing manner."

"Could this kid be that Ye Tianchen?"

Ye Tianchen cracked a slight smile. Wuxue rushed over upon seeing the arrival of his big brother and said with an embarrassed and wry smile, "Big brother, I didn’t handle this matter well, and let these guys cause trouble!"

"No, you’ve done very well. These people are all masters and naturally have some pride. As long as we can subdue them, our own strength will grow tremendously!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said with a smile.

"Damn it, brothers, I heard that this Ye Tianchen is just a little brat, probably hasn’t even been weaned yet, but he’s out here trying to boss us around, what a fucking joke." Someone loudly jeered from the side, while Bao Tianglong and the man in camouflage were in the thick of a splendid fight, each having their moments of victory and defeat.

"Yeah, damn it, we’ve been had."

"Each of us is an expert, and we thought there might be something worthwhile to do. Little did we expect to be deceived. No matter how lowly we may be, we can’t be ordered around by a kid who’s still on the bottle, can we? It’s too humiliating, isn’t it?"

"Right, damn it, we should teach these few a lesson and then disperse. It’s really damn unlucky."

"The one fighting Bao Tianglong is Wang Jie?" Ye Tianchen asked Wuxue.

"No, that kid’s gone to pee. He said if you were not here by the time he got back, he’d leave!" Wuxue also said very angrily.

"Hmm, let’s deal with these people here first, and then I’ll meet this Wang Jie!" Ye Tianchen nodded.

"Big brother, Wang Jie is very strong!" Wuxue paused before saying.

"How strong?" Ye Tianchen asked casually.

"I can’t defeat him even with my full strength, but I can fight him to a draw!"

Just then, one of the bolder ones saw Wuxue and also noticed Ye Tianchen, and couldn’t help but smirk mischievously as he sauntered over. Coming up to Ye Tianchen and Wuxue, he taunted mockingly, "I say, Wuxue, is that so-called big brother of yours still in his mother’s womb? We’ve been waiting here for so long and he still hasn’t shown up - did he get so scared that he wet his pants?"

"What did you say, you looking for a beating?" Wuxue glared fiercely at the man.

"Looking for a beating? Are you even a match for Wang Jie? Don’t talk big. We’re here to get things done, not to play around. Your so-called big brother Ye Tianchen hasn’t shown up yet, and there’s nothing for us to do. Why are we waiting here? I’ll tell you, I heard that your big boss is just a baby who hasn’t been weaned yet. Is someone like that fit to be our leader? What a joke!" The man spoke disdainfully.

"The brother’s right. I heard that this Ye Tianchen is a damn university student, probably really hasn’t been weaned yet. While we were killing people, that kid might well have been wetting his bed, hahaha!"

The crowd all burst into laughter, none taking Wuxue and his group seriously because they had heard that Ye Tianchen was just a youngster around twenty years old. They all felt indignation in their hearts and were very unconvinced that such a kid was commanding them. It was simply too embarrassing.

"Big brother..." Wuxue said fiercely.

Without saying anything, Ye Tianchen walked towards Bao Tianglong and the man he was fighting. Everyone was taken aback and watched Ye Tianchen curiously, wondering who this young man around twenty was and why he was walking into the fray. Was he looking for death?

Bao Tianglong, engaged in a fight, saw Ye Tianchen approaching. With a respectful and somewhat guilty voice, he shouted, "Big brother!"

"Hmm! Go rest for a bit," Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Yes!" Bao Tianglong nodded and stepped down.

Suddenly, everyone’s attention was fixed on Ye Tianchen. Curiosity and confusion were etched on their faces, as they had no idea where this young man in his twenties had sprouted from or what he intended to do. However, some guessed Ye Tianchen’s identity.

"Could he be Ye Tianchen?"

"Indeed, a second-generation rich kid, so frail-looking. He’s just like a flower grown in a greenhouse, still not weaned off milk, huh?"

"Still wet behind the ears and trying to mix in the world of warriors, he’s really clueless about life and death."

"I can punch this kid so hard; he won’t even recognize his parents!"

Ye Tianchen paid no mind to these comments and looked around at everyone present before saying, "I’ll fight all of you by myself; you can all come at me together."

At Ye Tianchen’s words, everyone was startled; they never expected this newcomer to have such boldness and audacity. They had been here for some time, and Wuxue, Hu Long, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong had all taken action. The combat strength they displayed was astonishing, stronger than the general crowd here. But due to Wang Jie making trouble and many others joining in the commotion, the group of four, led by Wuxue, couldn’t calm the situation otherwise it wouldn’t have escalated this far.

And now, Ye Tianchen was proposing to fight them all by himself—a claim that not only smacked of arrogance but required immense bravery and skill. No one could believe that Ye Tianchen was that powerful based on his slender and young appearance.

"Ha, he really doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going. I could squash him with one hand," the man in the camouflage uniform who fought Bao Tianglong sneered at Ye Tianchen.

"Then come and try!" Ye Tianchen replied indifferently with a smile.

Everyone was again taken aback. Although they had their suspicions about Ye Tianchen’s identity, they would never believe he could defeat them all by himself—not even Wang Jie or Wuxue who were immensely powerful could accomplish that.

The man in camouflage, named Zhang Wuquan, was one of Wang Jie’s group. According to Wuxue, this guy was once a strong member of the Ancient Martial Sect and later joined the military, possessing formidable strength, second only to Wang Jie. It was no fluke he could fight Bao Tianglong for so long. Ye Tianchen had noticed that Bao Tianglong employed Hard Qigong and Zhang Wuquan didn’t dare to take the hits head-on. Perhaps in a life-and-death battle, Zhang Wuquan was just a notch below Bao Tianglong, but his remarkable combat experience and strong techniques should not be underestimated.

Zhang Wuquan walked up to Ye Tianchen, sneered coldly, and threw a kick straight at Ye Tianchen’s chest. The kick came swiftly, catching many by surprise, like lightning aimed at Ye Tianchen’s vital spot. Everyone was shocked, thinking Zhang Wuquan held this ace up his sleeve, many waiting to see Ye Tianchen’s embarrassment. Presumptuous and certain to suffer, they imagined.

But as Zhang Wuquan’s kick targeted Ye Tianchen’s chest, Ye Tianchen’s body suddenly shifted to the side, his left hand behind his back, and with a casual grasp, he caught Zhang Wuquan’s ankle. Zhang Wuquan was utterly shocked. His kick was fast and powerful, yet the young man in front of him evaded it easily and grabbed his ankle, which seemed unbelievable, especially since his speedy attacks were one of the reasons he had been able to fight against Bao Tianglong for so long without defeat.

With a thud, Ye Tianchen applied force with his right hand and flung Zhang Wuquan away. Everyone watching dropped their jaws in astonishment, reconsidering the seemingly frail young man who appeared to be a greenhouse flower. It was inconceivable that he tossed a skilled fighter like Zhang Wuquan so effortlessly.

Zhang Wuquan, although very surprised and perhaps shocked, had quick reflexes. Slapping the ground with his right hand, he did a mid-air roll, landed firmly, and sweated on his forehead as he looked at Ye Tianchen in amazement.

"I said, bring a few more people, come at me together, otherwise, it’s just not interesting," Ye Tianchen nonchalantly said with a smile.

At that moment, another man in camouflage, a middle-aged man, walked over to Zhang Wuquan’s side, staring coldly at Ye Tianchen and said, "The two of us together, and you’ll die."

"Wrong, even if you two come at me together, I will still not have a single hair harmed," Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

With these words from Ye Tianchen, both Zhang Wuquan and the other middle-aged man clenched their fists tightly. Everyone present, defiant towards Ye Tianchen, began to clamor.

"The hell, this kid’s too arrogant. He needs a severe lesson!"

"Just kill him, what more is there to say?"

"Kill him, kill him. Let’s disband; it’s such bad luck to be deceived!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it and support me at Qidian.)
