Chapter 17: Counterattack

  Chapter Seventeen Counterattack

  In the dense forest, Ye Chen was like a nimble monkey, using his hands and feet simultaneously, running on the ground one moment and jumping between tree branches the next, without stopping for a single moment. He knew that Single Strong would not give up easily, so he had to find a safe place.

  As Ye Chen entered the forest, it wasn't long before Shan Qiang and his group also rushed into the dense woods. The originally extremely quiet forest instantly became noisy.

  Dan Qiang's face turned even uglier as he looked at everything in front of him. The dense forest, with its extremely lush trees, greatly obstructed human vision and was unfavorable for searching, but rather favorable for secrecy.

  Shan Qiang turned his head to look at the crowd and said, "You all split up and search separately. The people of Lianyun Sect will form groups of two, Li Kuangshou, you arrange your own subordinates. Remember, Ye Chen has a cultivation level of Shu Ti Er Chong, so each group must have someone who can hold him back!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Qiang led the disciples of Lianyun Sect and rushed directly into the dense forest, quickly dispersing to start searching for Ye Chen.

  Li Kuangshou furrowed his brow, turned around and instructed his subordinates: "You five will form a group. Remember, if you find Ye Chen, you must notify others immediately. Don't just focus on taking credit!"

  "Yes!"

  Many robbers responded with a shout and hastily dispersed to search for Ye Chen.

  Looking at the departing crowd, Li Kuangshou surprisingly turned around and walked out of the dense forest, waiting outside. With a cunning smile, he muttered to himself: "Damn! You think you can just give me some money and I'll risk my life for you? What are you thinking?"

  Actually, Li Kuangshou originally wanted to follow Ye Chen together to kill him, but when he stepped into the dense forest for a moment, he had an ominous feeling, and he was very confident in his feelings, because it was this feeling that allowed him to narrowly escape many times.

  In the dense forest, Ye Chen leaned against a giant tree branch, quickly recovering his depleted physical strength. Although he possessed the miraculous 'Nourishing Liquid', this time he only brought one bottle out and had to use it at the most critical moment.

  Ye Chen's eyes were slightly closed, but his spirit was fully concentrated on his ears, listening to the wind blowing and the grass moving around him.

  It was not that Ye Chen trusted his ears too much, but the dense forest's lush trees blocked not only Shan Liang's line of sight as he searched alone, but also Ye Chen's.

  Suddenly, a burst of irritable shouting sounds entered Ye Chen's ears.

  "My goodness! How can I find it in this place? There are huge trees everywhere!"

  "Alright, Zhao Xu, stop complaining, what can you do about it!"

  The newcomer was precisely that chubby young man Zhao Xu.

  At this time, Zhao Xu, because of his own figure was extremely fat, physically weak, just now desperately chasing outside, and constantly searching in the dense forest, at this time had already been sweating profusely.

  Ye Chen's movements were extremely light as he turned his head, looking at the two people below who were complaining. His eyes narrowed and his mind quickly began to recall the strength of the two individuals. Zhao Xu had a Threefold Shattered Body, while the other young man possessed a Twofold Shattered Body cultivation, equivalent to his own.

  At this thought, a murderous glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

  Ye Chen's initial escape did not mean that Ye Chen was afraid of them, but rather that Ye Chen did not want to waste his own life in vain.

  It's good now, Shan Qiang is self-righteous and lets everyone search for Ye Chen separately, giving Ye Chen the opportunity to counterattack. In fact, it can't be blamed on Shan Qiang, but rather Ye Chen's cultivation of fragmented body and double heavy, which became a misunderstanding among the crowd.

  As Ye Chen was thinking about how to quickly take out the two men, Zhao Xu's complaining voice came over again: "Alright, you go search first, I'll rest here for a while, damn it, I'm exhausted!"

  Upon hearing this, the young man furrowed his brow: "But...Xu Ge!"

  Zhao Xu looked at him impatiently and said discontentedly, "What's the matter with you? You don't say who knows. As long as you don't go too far, just shout loudly, I'll be there immediately!"

  "But..."

  Zhao Xu looked at the young man's endless appearance, his face turned red with anger, and he scolded: "No more nonsense, hurry up and leave!"

  Looking at Zhao Xu's furious appearance, the young man could only shake his head and turn away.

  The leaves on the branches looked at the departing youth with one eye, and then looked at Zhao Xu sitting under the tree with another eye, revealing a hint of cruel smile, secretly thinking: Heaven is helping me!

  Ye Chen lightly stepped onto the branch, his eyes locked fiercely, and he suddenly leapt into the air. His right hand transformed into a claw as he unleashed the first move of the "Dragon Capturing Hand" technique, combining it with the explosive power of his Second-Order Shattered Body cultivation. With the added momentum from falling from the tree, he launched himself at Zhao Xu's head.

  Zhao Xu Meng suddenly looked up and saw Ye Chen falling from above, his face filled with a terrified expression, and a brief blankness appeared in his mind.

  But just as Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, Ye Chen's right hand had already approached Zhao Xu's parietal bone.

  "Pffft!"

  Blood splattered everywhere!

  Zhao Xu, who had three times been beheaded, was now headless.

  In fact, Ye Chen's strength is not as strong as it seems. Although he has the inheritance of God, now that he only has the cultivation of Fragmented Body Double Heavy, he can't even cultivate the divine transmission method, so it's hard to see how much stronger Ye Chen is compared to others at the same level.

  If Ye Chen and Zhao Xu were to clash head-on, Ye Chen's four-star martial skill 'Dragon Capturing Hand' combined with 'Swift Thunder Flash' might have given him the upper hand in victory, but it would not be that simple, only a narrow win.

  However, the reason why Zhao Xu was killed by Ye Chen in an instant was due to the power of the fourth-grade martial skill "Dragon Capturing Hand", the inertia from falling down from the tree, and the sudden coordination, all these factors combined, which allowed Ye Chen to succeed with one strike.

  Ye Chen looked at Zhao Xu, who was already dead and couldn't die again, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He then squatted down beside Zhao Xu's corpse, rummaged through it, and found a sharp dagger from Zhao Xu's chest. After that, he chased after the young man in the direction he had left earlier.

  Yes!

  That's right, Ye Chen is going to launch a counterattack now!

  Before long, Ye Chen saw a young man with a panicked face in the distance, looking around everywhere, and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

  Ye Chen stopped in his tracks, his body flat on the ground, slowly moving forward.

  The young man suddenly felt as if there was danger behind him and turned around, wanting to look back. However, what he saw was a familiar face.

  The young man was startled and hurriedly wanted to shout loudly for help, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound. He only felt his throat burning, and with a fearful face, he fell backwards, his eyes reflecting Ye Chen's bloodthirsty smile.

  Looking at the young man who had fallen to the ground, Ye Chen gave a cold smile: "That's the second one!" Immediately after, he quickly jumped to the side and disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only a pool of blood and a thick smell of gore that lingered in the air for a long time.

  Ye Chen was in the dense forest, his movements extremely light and careful, not daring to make a single sound, fearing that it would attract a large group of people.

  Ye Chen crouched in a clump of grass, motionless, his eyes fixed intently on the two people walking towards him.

  Two fragments double!

  Ye Chen recalled in his heart and confirmed that the two people walking towards him were outer disciples of Lianyun Sect, both at the second level of Shattered Body.

  Looking at the two people getting closer and closer, Ye Chen tightly grasped the sharp dagger with his left hand, his eyes fixed on the position of their throats, thinking to himself: Two people, must be killed simultaneously, otherwise they will be discovered by others!

  This also explains why Ye Chen had to hold his sword with his left hand, because he needed to leave his right hand free to use the Dragon Capturing Hand.

  Five meters...

  Four meters...

  Three meters...

  Two young men were looking around in all directions, completely unaware of what was under their feet.

  Two meters...

  "It's now!"

  Ye Chen let out a furious roar in his heart, suddenly standing up, his left hand tightly gripping the dagger, accurately and unerringly slashing onto the throat of one youth, while his right hand's dragon claw also tightly grasped the throat of another youth. With a sudden burst of strength, there was a "crack" sound, as the youth's throat was directly snapped by Ye Chen.

  At the moment of death, neither of them realized who had killed them, and they died with a sense of grievance.

  Ye Chen took a deep breath, gazing at the two people on the ground, his eyes narrowing as he muttered to himself: "Four down!"
