Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 495

The Silver Demon Brothers were not to be underestimated. To ordinary people, their actions might seem clumsy, as all four were broad and robust, wielding huge knives and pounding with iron fists, they surrounded Ye Tianchen in the middle.

If an expert were present, they would be astonished enough to drop their jaws and worry about Ye Tianchen’s situation. It appeared that his battle with the Silver Demon Brothers lacked any grand Slaughter Skill or explosive scenes. Yet, this was precisely a peak confrontation, devoid of flashy moves or large-scale Slaughter Skills, revolving around the clash of the most origin powers.

Truth be told, it wasn’t that Ye Tianchen didn’t want to use grand Slaughter Superpower Skills, but he couldn’t. Now that the Silver Demon Brothers had merged into one, their Hard Qi Skill had reached a phenomenal level of mastery. Even Master Fang Zheng of Shaolin had failed to kill them, which showed how formidable the Silver Demon Brothers were.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen alone was confronting the Silver Demons’ Hard Qi Skill. When their palms met, Ye Tianchen felt an immense pressure, like that from Mount Tai striking him. The Silver Demon Brothers, with their intense Inner Strength, intended to shock Ye Tianchen to death, while Ye Tianchen had no choice but to counter with his mighty superpower. The collision of these two powerful forces made everyone feel as though they were facing a major landslide, and no one dared move an inch or use any other Killing Skills, as even a minor distraction could lead to instant, agonizing death from being shattered entirely.

Bang!

A loud noise followed, and the steel-framed platform instantly crumbled, startling everyone at the scene who were watching Ye Tianchen and the Silver Demon Brothers. They all turned pale and quickly retreated, realizing this was not just a performance and that Ye Tianchen might end up dead.

Almost instantly, everyone standing below got up and moved back. Those who had been cozying up to the Ye family, hoping to foster good relations, gave up that idea without hesitation, even becoming curious to see how the Ye family would be destroyed. Rising to prominence was never easy, with major clans and powers often acting as obstacles.

"It’s over, Ye Tianchen is caught by those four guys, I think the massacre of the rest of the Ye family will start soon," someone said.

"Hmph, I always said it wouldn’t be easy for the Ye family to rise..."

"Ye Tianchen is just so-so..."

"Let’s leave before we get into trouble."

"Tomorrow’s news will be about Ye family trying to rise by celebrating Ye Yuanshan’s seventy-fifth birthday, only to end with the entire Ye family slaughtered...haha!"

Some gleeful onlookers had already begun discussing loudly, their voices filled with arrogance, showing no fear of being overheard by members of the Ye family. These people were from major clans and powerful backgrounds, and typically looked down on the Ye family, acting only when they sensed weakness.

"Those who need to leave, hurry up, I will kill all who stay, no matter who you are..."

At this moment, Li Xin stepped in from the side, his face full of arrogance and disdain as he scanned everyone present. From his words, it was clear he planned to kill all the Ye family members, exuding excessive dominance.

Ordinarily, Li Xin wouldn’t dare to show himself, knowing that Ye Tianchen had some tactics and that ordinary experts couldn’t handle him easily. While he was confident in his Silver Demon Brothers, he still preferred to stealthily watch from the sidelines and observe the situation. As the battle between Ye Tianchen and the Silver Demon Brothers unfolded, Li Xin became anxious; if the Silver Demon Brothers were killed by Ye Tianchen, he would have to resort to other powers. But seeing Ye Tianchen getting overpowered by the combined force of the Silver Demon Brothers, he was overjoyed and immediately came out to show off, making sure everyone knew how powerful he, Li Xin, was.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen took a step back, but quickly stomped his right foot firmly on the ground, blocking the attack from the Silver Demon Brothers. The force received in his palms was increasing, and even though he had activated the Peak Power of the Emperor-level Superpower Realm, he still couldn’t block the Silver Demon Brothers’ Hard Qi Skill. These four, who appeared clumsy, were truly powerful.

"Ye Tianchen, I didn’t expect you to be so strong. It’s just a pity that you’ve encountered us, the Silver Demon Brothers, and now you must die," the lead burly man said coldly as he stared at Ye Tianchen.

"It’s too early to tell who wins and who loses. You are only so-so!" Ye Tianchen retorted with a cold laugh.

"Seeking death!"

The Silver Demon Brothers shouted in unison, their palms surging with more intense Hard Qi Skill as they struck towards Ye Tianchen, intending to shock him to death on the spot. Ye Tianchen, however, was well-prepared. These four seemingly clumsy guys, with their unbreakable Inner Strength, were extraordinarily strong. Now that the four of them had joined forces, he truly felt the pressure. At once, he gathered his breath in his Dantian, using his powerful Divine Thought Power to guide a refined force in a confrontation.

Bang, bang!

Two muffled sounds rang out. Ye Tianchen remained motionless, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, while the Silver Demon Brothers were forced to step back twice in surprise. They had never imagined that their most powerful combined attack, their proudest Slaughter Skill, the Iron Sand Divine Palm, which no one had ever withstood, would be repelled by Ye Tianchen.

Indeed, Ye Tianchen had given the Silver Demon Brothers a massive shock. The four had cultivated a solid foundation of Hard Qi Skill, capable of shattering mountains with a punch and splitting rivers with a palm—clearly not an exaggeration. Even bullets couldn’t penetrate their bodies, illustrating just how formidable their physical strength was. It wasn’t just about their collaboration; even a typical expert encountering any one of them would likely fall. Their most common tactic was to feign being hit when attacked, confident in their strong bodies and Hard Qi Skill. When the enemy thought they had landed a critical hit, a counterattack from them would be unavoidable.

This was why Ye Tianchen emphasized physical training; to withstand a punch and to then kill with a punch—such was the advantage of having a strong body. The Silver Demon Brothers exemplified this principle perfectly, their Hard Qi Skill seemingly flawless, impervious to swords and guns.

What the Silver Demon Brothers hadn’t expected was that Ye Tianchen, a mere twenty-year-old, would possess such formidable combat strength. His physical body was on par with theirs, and now their combined Iron Sand Divine Palm, which should have killed Ye Tianchen, had failed, instead causing themselves to be repelled several steps back. This was the first time in their combat history that such a thing had occurred; how could they not be shocked?

On the other hand, Ye Tianchen also took a sharp intake of breath. The fight with the Silver Demon Brothers was distinct from his previous life-and-death battles. Those were mostly about powerful Slaughter Skills, but this fight targeted the origin, contending over the most fundamental energy within the body. Any mistake could turn one into dust and bones. Compared to his previous battles which lacked explosive visuals, this encounter was extremely perilous. The physical toughness of the Silver Demon Brothers, along with their perfected Hard Qi Skill, made Ye Tianchen’s palms ache. He had used the essence of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’s Inner Strength, the most primal power between heaven and earth. He thought it would at least injure the brothers, but it only made them retreat a few steps.

Li Xin, seeing Ye Tianchen and the Silver Demon Brothers both shouting loudly, was so frightened that he hastily stepped back twice, ready to run at the sight of trouble. He still had a card up his sleeve that could threaten Ye Tianchen. Now, seeing the Silver Demon Brothers blocking Ye Tianchen’s attack, a vicious smile appeared on his lips, and he straightened his back as he continued to walk forward.

"Ye family, Ye Tianchen has offended me, Li Xin, and I want him dead. As for the other members of the Ye family, I want them dead too. As for you all... those who don’t want to die can leave now, those who do can stay!" Li Xin said, utterly arrogant to the extreme.

Many people present were descendants of major families and powerful factions, including some older figures. Hearing Li Xin speak thus, many were angered. Regardless of the situation, Li Xin was just a junior and he was not regarding any of the others present with due importance, which was extremely arrogant. Many wanted to teach Li Xin a lesson, but having seen the strength of the Silver Demon Brothers, they hesitated. Moreover, since Li Xin was aiming to kill Ye Tianchen and destroy the Ye family, they saw no need to get involved unless Li Xin turned on them.

"It’s really Young Master Lee."

"I knew Li Xin wouldn’t let things go; the Ye family is in big trouble now."

"It’s not just trouble; it’s very likely that the Ye family will be annihilated, entirely wiped out. Li Xin is a ruthless character who fears neither heaven nor earth."

"Anyway, Ye Tianchen is doomed. He can’t possibly stand against Young Master Lee. He should never have crossed Young Master Lee."

The descendants of major families, seeing Li Xin walking over with utmost arrogance, directed their victorious gazes toward him. In their view, no matter how powerful Ye Tianchen was, he stood no chance against Li Xin. This was simply a death wish.(To be continued.
