Chapter Eighteen: A Moment of Life and Death

  Shan Qiang searched for a long time but couldn't find anything, his face growing more and more frustrated as he thought Ye Chen had already left the place.

  Suddenly, a strong smell of blood wafted into Shuang Qiang's nose, and he furrowed his brow, quickly rushing in the direction the smell came from.

  Two corpses, one with a throat slit open by a sharp object, and another with a fractured spine inside the throat.

  These two corpses were the two people from Lianyun Sect whom Ye Chen had just killed!

  Shan's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he recognized the two people at a glance, who were indeed the two outer sect disciples of Lianyun Sect that had been following him.

  He narrowed his eyes and crouched down to examine the two corpses.

  "Both of them are dead! The blood is still warm, they can't have gone far!"

  Shan Qiang hastily stood up and looked around, then turned to chase after Ye Chen in the direction he had just left, at an extremely fast speed.

  Under the pursuit of Single Strong, it didn't take long for Single Strong to see Yue Chen's figure far away, his face lit up with joy, and he secretly said: "Finally found you, where can you run!"

  Yechen, who was running at full speed, suddenly felt a sense of danger slowly approaching from behind. He quickly turned his head and saw that not far away, Shan Qiang was staring at him with a ferocious expression, charging towards him wildly.

  Ye Chen was shocked: "Not good! Exposed!" Immediately, he hastily turned his head and sprinted forward.

  "Look where you're going! I don't believe it, you can still run out of my hands!"

  Actually, Shan Qiang intentionally shouted out loud to lure his companions around him. After all, Shan Qiang was not a fool, and he had just seen the two people who died with one move each. Shan Qiang also felt a hint of fear in his heart, wondering what kind of cultivation Ye Chen actually had.

  The people who were originally searching around heard Shuang Qiang's roar and rushed towards this direction quickly.

  Ye Chen secretly said: "I'm done for!"

  Ye Chen didn't know that the main purpose of this loud shout was to call for people, if he let himself be surrounded again, it would probably be a disaster.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen accelerated the speed of 'Xun Lei Flash' to its maximum, no longer stingy with his spiritual liquid. He took out a 'Nourishing Liquid' from his bosom and held it in his hand, preparing to use it again when his physical strength was exhausted.

  As time passed second by second, Shan Jiang gradually narrowed the distance with Ye Chen. It wasn't that "Swift Thunder Flash" was slow, but rather, in this dense forest filled with trees, Ye Chen couldn't bring out the true power of "Swift Thunder Flash".

  More and more people came around one after another.

  Danger!

  Extremely dangerous!

  Ye Chen realized at this moment that there was a great danger, and if he continued like this, he would definitely let Shan Qiang catch up. At that time, he would really be calling out to heaven but getting no response, and calling out to earth but getting no echo!

  "Bouncing Mountain Fist!"

  As a loud roar echoed through the air, Ye Chen felt a strong gust of wind rushing towards him from behind.

  Ye Chen Meng's sudden movement caused a donkey to roll over and land on one side, and as it got up, it glared at the approaching group led by Shan Qiang.

  "A sinister smile spread across his face: 'Run! You're a monster who can run, aren't you? Why have you stopped running?!'"

  A brief delay, and the originally lagging crowd also caught up, surrounding Ye Chen all around, a fierce battle was about to break out.

  Ye Chen looked at the crowd surrounding him, his face turned gloomy, knowing that this time he might really be in a desperate situation. Thinking of this, Ye Chen did not stop, he was unwilling to die, he still had too many things to do, he had not returned to pay respects to his parents, he had not avenged his body!

  Ye Chen was unwilling to give up any chance of survival, and suddenly turned around, without saying a word, and rushed towards the side.

  Fist to fist!

  "Bang!"

  The young man retreated five steps back, and Ye Chen retreated three steps back.

  Shan Qiang coldly laughed and angrily roared: "Get me up!"

  With a loud order from Shan Qiang, everyone rushed towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and charged towards the weakest point, wanting to kill a bloody path.

  "Get out of here!"

  As Ye Chen let out a loud roar, his right hand struck out at the middle-aged man standing in front of him. The middle-aged man was one of Li Kuangshou's subordinates and had achieved the first level of Body Severing cultivation, making him Ye Chen's opponent.

  In an instant, the middle-aged man had not reacted yet, and he felt that something was inserted into his chest from behind.

  Ye Chen's fist directly pierced through the middle-aged man's chest.

  Ye Chen hadn't even had time to pull his hand out when another person rushed over from the side. Ye Chen kicked the middle-aged man who was already dead in front of him, pulled his hand out first, then turned sideways and flew a kick, sending the young man flying again.

  "Ah!"

  Ye Chen felt a tearing pain in his back, and angrily shouted out loud. He suddenly turned around to see a disciple of Lianyun Sect behind him, holding a large knife with fresh blood still on it. Without thinking, he knew that the blood belonged to him.

  Ye Chen let out a beast-like roar again, jumped up and landed on the young man's head, then his sharp dagger fiercely stabbed into the young man's skull, instantly splashing blood everywhere!

  Ye Chen had just landed when he felt a sharp pain in his left arm, and without even looking, his right hand swung a punch to the left side.

  The scene was extremely bloody!

  Not long after, the ground was littered with numerous dead bodies that couldn't die again, among them were one or two people from Lianyun Sect, and the rest were Li Kuangshou's subordinates.

  Ye Chen's entire body was now covered in blood, his originally jet-black hair had also turned red, and from a distance, he looked like a fierce warrior from hell.

  Ye Chen half-knelt where he was, his eyes gleaming like a wild beast as he gazed at the crowd, letting out a heart-rending laugh: "Haha! You want to kill me? It's not that easy!"

  Shan Liang had never made a move, only standing by and watching everything. He was waiting, waiting for Ye Chen to be seriously injured before making his move, because in his heart, he didn't know why, but he still had a hint of fear towards the current Ye Chen.

  Everyone looked at Ye Chen's appearance, and no one dared to come forward. Even the several disciples of Lianyun Sect were standing there, motionless and trembling with fear. Ye Chen's actions earlier reminded them that he was once one of the top ten masters of the outer sect. Although he had lost his former cultivation, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse! These people were no match for him!

  Shan Liang looked at the crowd not moving forward, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, took a step forward, looking at Ye Chen kneeling on the ground, and said with a playful tone: "The former top ten masters, aren't they still kneeling in front of me?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen glared at Shan Qiang's mocking smile and struggled to get up again. His legs kept making cracking sounds due to his dislocated joints.

  "You want to kill me Ye Chen? Even if you have the cultivation of Fragmented Body Fivefold, you'll still have to pay the price!"

  "A faint smile played on his lips: 'Nowadays, even an ordinary person could easily kill you, right?' His face suddenly turned extremely ferocious as he glared at Ye Chen: 'What qualifications do you have to threaten me now?'"

  Ye Chen coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face twisted in a ferocious grin: "Even if I die, I'll still drag down a few more to be my scapegoats!"

  "Heh heh" Dan Qiang sneered: "I want to see how you're going to fight!"

  Ye Chen coldly gazed at the crowd, but his heart was secretly lamenting. Shan Qiang's words were right; with his current state, not to mention a low-level cultivator, even an ordinary person could kill him.

  Ye Chen wasn't that he didn't think of using the 'Nourishing Liquid', but the 'Nourishing Liquid' was something that needed to be applied on the body in order to have an effect. Now, if Shuang Rong were to see him take out the spiritual liquid and apply it, he would absolutely not allow it!

  Shan Liang looked at Ye Chen standing still for a long time without any movement, and sneered with a smile: "Alright! Since we are fellow disciples, you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I'll let you die a little more comfortably!"

  "Ah! Kneel down quickly!"

  "Kneel down and kowtow quickly!"

  "Knock your head!"

  "Knock your head!"

  Ye Chen heard the crowd's gasps and felt that his own angry roar was enough to burn up the entire world!

  Ye Chen could no longer bear the anger of being gawked at by everyone, and with his last bit of strength, he walked menacingly towards a person standing aside.

  The young man saw Ye Chen's appearance and subconsciously took a step back, looking at Ye Chen with some horror, completely losing the arrogant momentum he had earlier.

  "What's there to be afraid of? Ye Chen is just a waste!"

  Shan Liang looked at the young man and said discontentedly.

  The young man took a glance at Shan Qiang, then looked at Ye Chen who was walking towards him step by step. He took a deep breath and shouted: "You still want to fight with me?" As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Ye Chen to the ground with one foot.

  Ye Chen's eyes were red again as he got up and continued to approach the young man.

  The whole audience was terrified!

  Who can say they are not afraid of death? Who dares to say that when facing death, they can be like Ye Chen, unyielding until the end!

  The young man looked at Ye Chen as he approached him again, and once again stretched out his leg to kick Ye Chen down. However, this time he didn't get what he wanted. He only felt his leg being held by someone, and in an instant, a sharp pain came from his leg, followed by seeing fresh blood staining his pants red.

  "Ah!"

  The young man let out a loud roar, and before he could even react again, Ye Chen had already closed in on him. Without warning, Ye Chen unleashed his explosive power, causing the young man's throat to feel scorching hot, and then he directly fell backwards!

  The whole audience was shocked!

  Even Shan Qiang didn't expect that Ye Chen, in such a situation, could still use the inertia of his body leaning forward to get close to the young man and then instantly strike out with his knife, killing him.

  "Ye Chen!"

  Shan Qiang let out a loud roar and charged straight at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen turned around with a ferocious grin on his face and burst out laughing "Haha!" as he watched Single Strong rushing towards him.

  "That's enough!"

  Ye Chen let out a loud roar and immediately closed his eyes, and suddenly many people's faces appeared in his mind, Shen Xiang, parents and all good friends.

  Just as Ye Chen felt death approaching, a playful voice came from behind him.

  "What a lively scene! So many people bullying one person, I wonder if we three brothers can also join in?"
