Chapter 308 - Take Action (2/2)

Ye Chen’s eyes instantly cooled at the sight of Countess Zilan’s whip whistling toward him. Countess Zilan finally could not endure it anymore. He said in a low voice, “I’ve also tolerated you for a long time. Since you made the first move, don’t blame me for not being polite! I don’t usually hit women, but since you slander Little Rou, I won’t hold back!” Ye Chen’s left hand caught Countess Zilan’s whip and gripped it firmly. His right hand firmly slapped Countess Zilan.

With a “pak”, Ye Chen’s slap landed on Countess Zilan’s face. Her left cheek immediately became swollen as tears welled up in her eyes. That slap definitely stung!

Both Young Master Lian and Master Qi were slightly dazed. Countess Zilan was a beginner Earthly Venerable One. Even if she was not considered the best in her age group, it was already very good. However, the whip that Countess Zilan had used was easily caught by Ye Chen and he even easily threw a slap at Countess Zilan that she could not avoid. It seemed like Ye Chen’s cultivation was much higher than Countess Zilan’s.

Countess Zilan had been pampered since childhood. Even her father did not bear to hit her. However, she ended up getting slapped here. She trembled in anger and threw away her manners and shrieked, “You beast! How dare you hit me! I’ll exterminate your entire family!”

“Exterminate my entire family? It seems that you people have a lot of experience there. Does exterminating families make you very imposing? I don’t know if you’ll be able to exterminate my family but you’re certainly welcome to try.” Ye Chen threw another backhand slap again. With a “pak”, the other half of Countess Zilan also grew swollen.

Ye Chen was just teaching her a lesson. He was already showing mercy by not killing a woman like her.

Countess Zilan’s cheeks were completely swollen. “I’ll tear you apart!” She madly dashed toward Ye Chen.

“Madwoman!” Ye Chen threw out yet another slap. This slap was heavier and almost sent Countess Zilan flying.

Countess Zilan was almost knocked out. She finally grew afraid and did not dare to take another step forward. Ye Chen was too vicious and did not care about her status as countess at all. In Yun Yan County, she had always killed and stole. It was only her hitting others. No one had dared to bully her like this before!

“Are you all dead already? Come and help!” Countess Zilan shrieked indignantly.

Young Master Lian, Young Lord Mo, and the others hesitated. They did not know what Ye Chen’s cultivation was and was slightly fearful.

“If you don’t help me, I’ll go back and tell my father. You won’t leave Yun Yan County today!” Countess Zilan scolded in tears.

Young Master Lian and the others exchanged looks and gritted their teeth before charging at Ye Chen. After all, they were Earthly Venerable Ones who rarely encountered opponents of their age group. They guessed that Ye Chen would not dare to kill anyone in Yun Yan County, so they should just save Countess Zilan first. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain themselves to their clans later.

Seeing these people charging at Ye Chen, Little Wingsy also charged forward.

“You little brat, scram!” Young Master Lian swung a hand at Little Wingsy, wanting to swat him away. However, the back of his hand hit Little Wingsy’s chest with a dull “thud” as if he slammed it on a steel plate. His right hand immediately grew numb. He looked at Little Wingsy, who remained unmoving.

“Don’t call me a little brat!” Little Wingsy rushed up angrily and punched Young Master Lian.

Boom!

Young Master Lian was sent flying away, smashing into several shelves. The bottles and jars on the shelves smashed on him, shattering all over the floor. His face was pale as he held his abdomen. That punch almost caused him to vomit his own intestines.

Then, “bang bang bang”, Young Lord Mo and the others were also sent flying.

Just who was this child? He was too terrifying! They stared at Little Wingsy in horror as if they had seen a ghost.

Even Master Qi was shocked by Little Wingsy’s strength. Little Wingsy only seemed to be around five to six, but his strength was no less than a Heavenly Venerable One!

Little Wingsy seemed to be itching for more and rushed up kicking Young Master Lian and the others, only to hear them scream unceasingly. Not even a Mystique Venerable Rank combatant could take Little Wingsy’s punches. If not for the fact that Little Wingsy was holding back, Young Master Lian and the others would have died with just one punch.

“I’m the young master of the Ashen Cloud Valley but you still dare to hit me? You’re dead!”

Young Master Lian and the others kept shouting but what responded to them was only Little Wingsy’s punches that rained down upon them. Their tone gradually softened as they were beaten close to death.

“Spare us, spare us!” Young Master Lian and the others were beaten black and blue and cried for mercy, no longer possessing any dignity.

Little Wingsy had always been a relatively violent child. Upon hearing Young Master Lian and the others crying for mercy, he stared at them and kicked several of their faces, causing blood to drip from their noses.

“Humph, if you wanna fight, find someone more powerful. Your level of strength is too boring!” Little Wingsy said while kicking Young Master Lian’s buttocks. Young Master Lian and the others whimpered and cried.

To the side, Master Qi had just moved a step when an energy immediately locked onto him.

“Master Qi, do you want to make a move as well?” Ye Chen asked coldly.

Master Qi felt that the strength of this energy had far exceeded his own. If he were to do something, he definitely would not be Ye Chen’s match. He smiled wryly and said, “You’ve misunderstood. I’m not your opponent. I merely want to resolve the feud between the two sides. Please have mercy!”

“Are you afraid your Court of Treasures will be damaged? I’ll compensate you for any damage caused!” Ye Chen said casually. He slapped Countess Zilan several times and said coldly, “Weren’t you going to exterminate my family? Go on.”

Countess Zilan saw Young Master Lian and the others got beaten to the point of tears and finally understood that Ye Chen was not someone she could provoke. If the little boy by Ye Chen’s side had this much strength, would that not mean that Ye Chen was even more terrifying? She was frightened by Ye Chen’s fierce appearance.

“I’m the daughter of Earl Yunyan…”

Countess Zilan had not finished speaking when Ye Chen sent another slap her way.

“You… I…” Tears streamed down Countess Zilan’s face. She wanted to speak but was also afraid that Ye Chen would slap her again.

“What’s so great about the Earl? The one I’m beating right now is you!” Ye Chen saw that Countess Zilan had not learned her lesson. With just a few slaps, Countess Zilan’s beautiful face had swollen to the point where maybe even her father would not be able to recognize her. “It seems that you won’t learn your lesson even after death. Do you think you’re all that just because your father is the Earl? If I kill you now, it’ll be too late for your father to take revenge later. I’ll take off all your clothes and tie you up, then I’ll let my flying mystical beast take you on a tour around Yun Yan County before slowly eating you.”

“So, what if you’re beautiful? You’re just a lump of meat. Speaking of which, my flying mystical beast hasn’t eaten anything for several days and is probably hungry,” Ye Chen said nonchalantly.

“I’m begging you, please don’t kill me. I’ll do anything you want.” Countess Zilan wailed in fear. Although her personality was slightly provocative, she was just a woman and could not withstand Ye Chen’s intimidation. The thought of being eaten by a mystical beast made her turn pale in fright.

Ye Chen could not help but frown at Countess Zilan’s words. He had no interest in Countess Zilan at all. Seeing her miserable state, Ye Chen decided that she had learned her lesson. Ye Chen did not want to kill anyone, especially a woman.

“Countess Zilan, right? I’ll spare your life today. Perhaps killing amounts to nothing in your eyes. After all, you casually said you’d exterminate my family. However, if I ever hear you say you’ll kill again, the next person who ends up dead will be you. Not even your father will be able to protect you!” Ye Chen snorted coldly.

If Ye Chen had said these words when he first entered, Countess Zilan, Young Master Lian, and the others would probably laugh at him. Now however, with the strength shown by Little Wingsy and Ye Chen, they did not dare to doubt him. To have such strength at such a young age, they could not imagine just how powerful his background was!

“I’ve never exterminated anyone’s family before.” Countess Zilan’s face was full of tears. She would never dare to provoke someone like Ye Chen again.

“I’ll be staying at Yun Yan County tonight. If you want revenge, then you’re welcome to send your clan’s combatants. However, the matter will not be settled so easily then.” Ye Chen scoffed coldly as killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Countess Zilan and Young Master Lian’s hearts chilled at Ye Chen’s look.

Countess Zilan, Young Master Lian, and the others were not stupid. Who would they dare to go searching for trouble? Although a high-grade treasure was important, it was not as important as their lives!

“We wouldn’t dare!”

“We’ll never dare again!”

Countess Zilan, Young Master Lian, and the others hurriedly said, horrified. They were all beaten miserably.
