Chapter 412: The Strange Path

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Challenging an entire family on something is absolutely not a simple task. It requires technique and a savage bravery to shoulder the risk. Unless in a law's film, you probably would never see a nobody challenging a prestigious family out of nowhere. So it is only natural to see a well-known person challenging someone else's home.

Guan Zhengyuan was at the porch. He could not help but to take a deep breath upon seeing the crowd. The Shi family came for real, with an army of 35 experts which probably equalled to one-third of the entire family. And Guang Zhengyuan could perceive the diabolic cunning nature in their eyes. He might not be the best alchemist but he was at least experienced to know that the entire family of his would likely be unable to handle such intrusion.

Whatever that is going to happen, happens. Sighed Guan Zhengyuan in his mind. Looks like he could only rely on Ling's students now...

Guan family would regain its esteem and rise again, if they won that is. If they lost, it would be a news in the ridge that would lure all other new families who coveted the single slot of residence at the heaven of alchemy. When that happened, Guan family would perish.

That was when Ye Chong exited the porch with the noises crowding behind him.

Countless stares rested upon him. There were respects, envies, doubts and confusions...

So that is the alchemist who took a shortcut back to the ridge? The crowd began rustling again. It was the first time for the majority to see such a young alchemist.

Ye Chong's arrival had increased the intensity of the place. Ye Chong was fairly calm but a few of the crowd had already their hands wetted. He was leading the group of young apprentices of Guan family, looking fearless and excited. They were anticipating Teacher Zhu Feng's performance, for he was so great in his teaching that they felt the need to have a cult for him. So to those challengers who blindly came for our family, are you ready to have your butt kicked?

Ye Chong was pretty aware of the situation. At this point he probably would be the only person to take the challenge, since he knew the apprentices of Guan family were matchless against the foes in front of them. He did teach them a few new tricks but it surely would take some time for them to master those skills.

Simply, no way they would win against the challengers.

He was the only hope, he thought as he helplessly walked towards Guan Zhengyuan.

”If it wasn't for my Zhufeng,” said Guan Zhengyuan with a bright smile, as if liberated from the pressure exerted by the Shi family.

”Mhm,” nodded Ye Chong. The next question however came so unexpectedly that almost everyone tripped their steps, ”So... how do people do this 'challenge' thing usually? Is it a contest?” That was a good... question...

”Haha...” Laughed Guan Zhengyuan joyfully, ”Nothing much. Just some troublemakers wanting some troubles at our porch.”

”I see,” Ye Chong nodded. The word ”troublemakers” made perfect sense. And suddenly he had a thought - if it was Lunatic Guan, how would she handle these troublemakers? Ye Chong knew Lunatic Guan well, in most cases, she would annihilate the entire army and take a sprint to Shi family's home for another massacre.

”Zhu Feng, please do not hesitate, you could do whatever you want with them. Even if you want to shatter the ground, be my guest.” Guan Zhengyuan's tone was calm, frigidly calm, the typical tone one would use when mentioning the public enemy. His words were crudely translated as - all you can smash.

”Whatever I want?” Ye Chong's face was filled with the you-sure confusion.

Guan Zhengyuan looked at the army of Shi family, smiled, ”Yes, whatever you want.”

And Ye Chong vanished, a faint voice rang, ”Alright.”

There Ye Chong was figuring out a strategy to finish this fight in shortest time possible.

It would still be the classic brawling. Picking the right strategy suiting to the situation is vital to the battle, that was the lesson he learned from all battles he had experienced. So, brawling it is.

He had activated the techniques of September Lan style as his assassination went. He did not have his wooden spear with him but being barehanded actually made him better.

The fox joining the hares in the pen - that would be the analogical summary of what happened next.

The alchemists were utterly unprepared towards Ye Chong's assassination. As known an alchemist was just fragile in front of a martial arts practitioner. They could not react to his overwhelming speed in time. They could not even move a muscle when facing this Jie expert.

Ye Chong zapped through the crowd, with his afterimages stamped on every corner.
