Chapter 142: The Great Slaughter

  As Ye Chen let out a loud roar, the guards of the Lin family instantly drew their swords and charged into the crowd, and the people from the Ouyang family were no exception!

  Ye Chen watched as the guards of the Bao family charged forward, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across his face. He then pushed off the ground with both feet, kicking up a cloud of dust and debris, and followed closely behind the crowd, charging forward.

  Liu Yuer retreated slightly, not because she was unwilling to take action, but because Ye Chen had told her from the beginning to observe and wait, and not to act first.

  In an instant, everyone was fighting together. The guards of the families who didn't know the inside story looked at the crowd rushing up and were all stunned, still not understanding what had happened.

  Bang!

  As the vanguard of the basketball team's guard, he directly killed the person in front of him with one knife, and only then did everyone react, suddenly drawing out their own weapons and rushing up!

  Those family guards, although their strength was comparable to that of the Lan family's guards and they had many more people, but because they were caught off guard and unprepared, plus the Lan family's momentum was strong at this time, they instantly fell into a disadvantageous position...

  "Ah!"

  Although Ye Chen was the last to rush up, his speed was fundamentally not comparable to that of these Qi Gathering Stage Three or Four guards. With a loud roar from Ye Chen, he suddenly rushed into the crowd, and the blade of Zhan Long also became sharp in an instant, directly swinging towards all directions.

  The dragon's edge is sharper than ever, and even the protective true energy of the cultivators who have gathered in the air boundary can be cut open directly. What about these mostly fragmented body boundary cultivators?

  As Ye Chen's Dragon Slayer swept across, a crimson mist instantly appeared in front of him, then slowly dissipated. In front of Ye Chen, there was no one standing anymore!

  Ye Chen's momentum was like a broken bamboo, completely disregarding whoever stood in front of him, whether it was the Basket family's guard or someone from the Group family. Ye Chen directly hacked and slashed his way through, indulging in the slaughter as corpse after corpse fell to the ground. Ye Chen also felt his own strength gradually increasing!

  The people who were originally fighting stopped their struggles instantly, regardless of which family they belonged to. They looked at Ye Chen with a terrified expression as he continued to kill, subconsciously retreating and not daring to approach him!

  Liu Yuer stood at the back, watching Ye Chen kill people like a madman, her eyebrows tightly furrowed. She thought to herself: Brother Chen, did you cultivate some kind of evil technique? The last time I saw him slaughter the Wang family, I had some suspicions. Now looking at Brother Chen's craziness, he must have cultivated some kind of evil technique. This won't do! After this matter is over, I'll definitely ask him carefully!

  "Has he gone mad? Why is he even killing our own people?" One of the guards from the Baskets family looked at Ye Chen in shock and exclaimed to the person beside him.

  "I don't know!"

  "Never mind, retreat quickly! This Ye Chen is probably going crazy from killing!"

  "What about these people?"

  "Everyone scatter and surround this place completely, don't let them escape. As for the matter of killing people, let Ye Chen handle it! When he can't do it anymore, we'll go up!"

  "Yes!"

  Immediately. The guards of the Pan and Qun families dispersed directly. Surrounding this place, of course. The people of the Ouyang family and the Xie family were also surrounded by them, after all, Lan Kuangfeng had already ordered them to kill the people of those families first, and then start killing the people of the Ouyang family and the Xie family!

  Ye Chen was excited about the kill, but he didn't lose his composure. Seeing that the people from the Baskets and Groups had retreated and surrounded everyone, he felt a thrill in his heart and thought to himself: Good! This is for the best! If I were to kill all these people, although I wouldn't be able to break through, becoming the peak of Gathering Qi's third layer would be absolutely no problem!

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen's mouth revealed a bloodthirsty smile, and he suddenly rushed towards the crowd that was still in a daze.

  Those family members, seeing Ye Chen rush over, hastily dispersed! The Ouyang and Xie families were no exception!

  After all, everyone is not a fool, knowing that they can't beat him, but still want to go hard, isn't that looking for death? However, just as they were retreating, they found that their retreat had been blocked by the guards of the Pan family. If they broke through forcefully, they would inevitably be exposed in front of Ye Chen. If so, they would rather face Ye Chen head-on, and not be attacked from both sides!

  "Brothers! It seems that the city lord intends to kill us here. If we don't resist, there's only one way to die. But if we resist, there's still a glimmer of hope! Brothers, let's fight!"

  "It's all over! I'm done!"

  "Kill him!"

  As someone took the lead in the crowd, everyone else also threw away their fear of Ye Chen and rushed towards him directly!

  The Ou Yang and Xie families' people, seeing someone shout out a slogan, furrowed their brows tightly, exchanged a glance with each other, and also charged towards Ye Chen! After all, even if they were foolish, they could see that the Ye family in front of them did not keep their promise to work together to kill the others, but instead put themselves in the must-kill category as well!

  Ye Chen looked at the crowd rushing up, a ferocious smile, his speed not only didn't decrease, but instead suddenly accelerated, directly charging towards the crowd.

  Liu Yuer stood at the back, watching Ye Chen face so many people with his own strength. Her internal true energy also started to flow slowly, waiting for Ye Chen to be unable to cope, so she could take action in the first time! After all, in Liu Yuer's heart, although Ye Chen was stronger than these people, there were too many opponents, and among them, there were no shortage of cultivators who had reached the Gathering Qi realm. Even if they couldn't hurt Ye Chen at first, once Ye Chen's internal true energy was exhausted, he would definitely be doomed to die!

  However, Liu Yuer didn't know that for Ye Chen, the tactic of using a large number of people was completely useless. The cultivation method Ye Chen practiced was one that improved with each person he killed. No matter how many people the opponent had, as long as Ye Chen kept killing, he would never get tired!

  Ye Chen was like a human reaper, constantly harvesting lives in the crowd. With one slash of his sword, a large group of people would die instantly, and even some cultivators with protective true energy were no exception!

  More and more corpses piled up on the ground, and the armor Ye Chen wore was stained red with blood from its original color.

  Just now, the crowd that was full of morale and resisting, a wave of fear suddenly surged up in their hearts. They originally thought that although the person in front of them was strong, they could still take him down with their numerical superiority. However, reality overturned everyone's thinking. Ye Chen not only didn't show any fatigue but instead became even more fierce as the battle went on!

  Liu Yu'er was also shocked to look at Ye Chen, she did not expect that Ye Chen had killed so many people, consumed so much true energy and physical strength, yet he didn't show a single sign of fatigue, and instead looked spirited and refreshed!

  Of course, there were still some people who didn't show any surprise on their faces, and that was the guards of the Ye family. At first, when they saw everyone trying to gang up on Ye Chen, they couldn't help but feel a little amused. After all, they had witnessed Ye Chen's abilities before and knew that the tactic of ganging up on him would be completely useless!

  "Run fast! He's a devil! Doesn't know tiredness at all!"

  As one person's loud shout, everyone quickly reacted and immediately turned their heads to rush towards the Blue House guards. After all, it was better for them to die directly than to face Ye Chen again!

  Ye Chen looked at the crowd who had stopped their original movement towards him, turned his head and rushed towards the Blue House guard, smiled coldly, and continued to chase after the crowd.

  "Ah!"

  "Ah!"

  "Devil!"

  "He's Ashura from Hell!"

  As the mournful cries rose one after another, it wasn't long before the crowd that was originally surrounded by the guards of the Baskets' household in the middle had mostly fallen to their deaths, with only a few people left desperately trying to break through the Baskets' encirclement and escape...

  Massacre!

  Massacre!

  As Ye Chen killed the last person, the entire scene finally fell into silence, without a single sound. Even if a needle were to drop on the ground at this moment, everyone would be able to hear it clearly!

  Ye Chen let out a cold smile, took a deep breath, and as the last red energy entered his body, he let out a comfortable moan: "Ah~~~~ So refreshing!"

  Liu Yuer's eyebrows furrowed, and in an instant, she appeared beside Ye Chen. Her right hand grasped Ye Chen's arm tightly, and her face turned incredulous as she asked: "Brother Chen, how is it that the true energy within your body hasn't decreased at all? In fact, it has even increased significantly?"

  Ye Chen listened to Liu Yuer's words, momentarily stunned, then smiled slightly and said softly: "Yuer, this is not the time for explanations. After today's events are over, I'll explain it to you!"

  Ye Chen immediately turned his head and gestured to the many guards of the basket houses and group houses, shouting loudly: "Now that things have ended here! All cultivators above the Gathering Qi realm follow me in, everyone else stay here. You must remember, the situation inside is the most crucial! If today's matter succeeds, you will all have wealth, beauty, and power!"

  Everyone listened to Ye Chen's words, and only then did they react from their shock. Although they knew Ye Chen's strength, they had never thought that the expected fierce battle didn't occur at all. Moreover, on their side, except for the few people Ye Chen killed at the beginning, it could be said that there were zero casualties!

  Immediately, everyone let out a fierce roar, and all the cultivators in the Gathering Qi realm followed Ye Chen as they charged towards Lianhuo Valley.

  Liu Yuer watched as Ye Chen led the charge, let out a soft sigh, and slightly shook her head. She then followed suit and charged forward as well. After all, once they entered, it was the cultivators in the Yuan Dan realm who would be the key to determining victory or defeat!

  In an instant, everyone charged directly into the Blazing Valley under the gaze of those fragmented realm cultivators behind them...
