Chapter 648 644: Xiahou Dian's Despair
"No, this can't be true, how could Ye Chen, such a worthless person, possibly kill Senior Brother Zhou Hong." Zhang Sect's eyes widened in shock, looking as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Ye Chen was merely a cultivator at the Divine Mansion Realm Sixth Layer, unable to awaken any bloodline, yet capable of killing a Candidate Saint Son.
No one would dare to believe it, even if it spread out.
"Secret Treasure, he must have used the power of a Secret Treasure just now; otherwise, he couldn't be so strong." Yue Linglong's face turned extremely ugly, refusing to believe it was Ye Chen's own strength.
After all, the Shadowless Sword displayed by Ye Chen was way too strange.
Among those present, no one could see clearly how Zhou Hong was killed.
Therefore, it was quite normal for Yue Linglong to suspect the power of a Secret Treasure.
"Xiahou Dian, now it's your turn, old dog." After killing Zhou Hong, Ye Chen's figure flickered and flew towards the Law Enforcement Hall.
"No, how could this happen?" Xiahou Dian's smile froze completely, replaced by a thick shock, with every hair on his body standing upright.
He originally thought that once Zhou Hong activated the Bloodline Secret Technique, he could easily crush Ye Chen to death.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Hong instead died at Ye Chen's hands.
It was like a bolt from the blue to him.
With a thunderous crash.
At that moment, a formless Sword Qi suddenly pierced into the Profound Turtle Array above the Law Enforcement Hall, causing it to explode like thunder.
Crack, crack.
Soon after, the originally indestructible Profound Turtle Array turned into a web of giant cracks rapidly spreading like a spider's web.
"Ye, Ye Chen, don't be reckless." Xiahou Dian's forehead was immediately drenched in cold sweat, and even his calves trembled violently.
The reason he had appeared unafraid before was that he was certain Ye Chen could never break the Profound Turtle Array.
But now, Zhou Hong, the Candidate Saint Son, was already dead at Ye Chen's hands.
The Profound Turtle Array was now nothing but a joke before Ye Chen.
"What's wrong, old dog, now you know fear." Ye Chen sneered coldly, once again driving the Shadowless Sword to ruthlessly stab at the Profound Turtle Array.
With an explosive crack.
The next moment, the entire Profound Turtle Array shattered completely, vanishing without a trace.
"No!" Xiahou Dian's face turned even paler than a corpse, and he collapsed on the ground in fear.
He knew that he was finished today.
Ye Chen could easily kill Zhou Hong; dealing with him would be even easier.
"Old dog, this sword is for Brother Ye Hao." At this moment, terrifying icy light shot out of Ye Chen's eyes, sending shivers through everyone's soul.
Psh.
Instantly, Xiahou Dian's right arm was severed by an invisible Sword Qi, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
Ah!
Xiahou Dian's mouth uttered an extreme shrieking scream, his facial features twisting in pain.
"This sword is for my godfather and godmother." Not waiting for Xiahou Dian to recover, his other arm was severed by Ye Chen's Shadowless Sword, blood splattering everywhere.
"No! Ye Chen, I'm a high-level steward of Azure Sky Peak; if you kill me, the strong of Azure Sky Peak will definitely not spare you." Xiahou Dian endured the pain of his severed arm, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he screamed at Ye Chen.
"He's mad, Ye Chen has truly gone mad."
"Even though Xiahou Dian has grievances with him, he's still a high-level steward of Azure Sky Peak, and hiding within the Law Enforcement Hall; by doing this, Ye Chen is outright challenging the authority of Azure Sky Peak."
"This time, the high ranks of Azure Sky Peak will surely not let this go easily; even Venerable Zi Chen might not be able to protect him." Disciples from various peaks whispered among themselves, looking at Ye Chen like there was a madman.
"So what if you're a steward of Azure Sky Peak? If you dare harm my kin and friends, even if you're a steward of the Five Great Sacred Lands, I'll kill you without hesitation." Ye Chen stepped towards Xiahou Dian, his tone was domineering to the extreme.
"Nonsense, Ye Chen, when have I ever harmed your kin and friends? Don't slander me." Xiahou Dian roared.
Of course, he wouldn't foolishly admit he had sent people to capture Ouyang Xue from Dragon Elephant Peak.
Otherwise, that would give Ye Chen a legitimate reason to kill him.
Even if he were to die today, he must drag Ye Chen down with him.
He believed the high ranks of Azure Sky Peak would surely avenge him.
"Even now you still want to deny it? Fine, then I'll make you willingly admit your death." Ye Chen smiled coldly, extending his right hand to grab Xiahou Dian's neck, lifting him as easily as a chicken.
Swoosh.
Immediately afterwards, he dragged Xiahou Dian towards Ouyang Xue and Zhou Ba.
"Zhou Ba, tell me everything you know, and I can give you a quick death." Ye Chen stood before Zhou Ba, speaking coldly.
Now, Zhou Ba had long been tormented to agony by the Tendons and Bones Separating Palm, longing for relief, so he certainly wouldn't hide the truth.
"It was Xiahou Dian who sent me to Dragon Elephant Peak to capture Ouyang Xue, and he also ordered us to kill both your godfather and godmother! Ye Chen, please, grant me relief." Zhou Ba spoke in immense pain.
"Shut up; I don't even know you; why are you framing me." Xiahou Dian shouted sharply at Zhou Ba.
The underground organization he created had always been extremely secretive.
Therefore, there were very few people who knew about his relationship with Zhou Ba.
As a result, Zhou Ba's words alone couldn't be used as evidence.
"That Ye Chen is truly despicable, concocting such lies to retaliate against Steward Xiahou."
"Does he really think anyone will believe him? How naive."
"This lunatic dared to kill even Senior Brother Zhou Hong; there's nothing he wouldn't do." Azure Sky Peak's disciples spoke angrily, one after another.
"Old dog, do you think not admitting will save you? Today, no matter what you do, there's only one path left—death! Teacher Ouyang, I'm here now to avenge the thousand people of your Ouyang Family." Ye Chen's eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent, ready to crush Xiahou Dian directly to death.
He knew long ago that Xiahou Dian wouldn't admit his crimes.
But what difference did it make?
No matter how powerful the backers behind Xiahou Dian were, Ye Chen wouldn't spare him today.
That's the price one must pay for daring to harm his kin and friends.
