With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

Ye Yaocheng didn't hold back with this punch.

The fist tore through the air, producing a piercing, high-pitched explosion!

The fist, enveloped in golden light, rapidly magnified in Tie Shan's pupils.

fast!

too fast!

As I approached Tieshan, only one thought remained in my mind: hide!

But my body felt like it was nailed to the spot, completely unresponsive.

He could only watch helplessly as the fist, carrying the force of destruction, slammed into his chest.

"Move! You dead leg, move now!!!"

Tieshan roared inwardly, veins bulging on his forehead.

But it didn't work.

With a soft thud, the fist pierced through his body without any resistance.

It goes in through the chest and out through the back.

A bloody hole the size of a bowl, open from both sides.

Tieshan's body stiffened abruptly. He looked down at the empty hole in his chest, blood gushing out like a fountain.

"you……"

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only blood foam came out.

"thump."

Tieshan's knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his life fading away.

His eyes were still wide open, filled with terror, resentment, and disbelief.

The entire room fell silent.

He's dead! Tie Shan, a high-level Foundation Establishment stage elite guard of the Gu family, was instantly killed by a single punch!

Qin Long and the others stared at Ye Yaocheng with their mouths agape, their eyes burning with fervor as if they were on a pilgrimage.

This is their master, whose strength is terrifyingly powerful!

But the next second, a deep worry arose.

That's someone from the Gu family in the provincial capital. Do you think the Gu family will let it go after killing Tieshan?

On the main seat, Gu Yaoxing's nonchalant expression gradually froze.

He looked at Tieshan's corpse, then at Ye Yaocheng, and his gaze darkened.

"How dare you!"

He slowly uttered two words, his voice cold.

"You're the first person to kill me in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, took a step forward.

"boom!"

The aura of a half-step Martial King suddenly erupted, like a sleeping lion opening its eyes.

The air in the hall instantly became thick and heavy.

Qin Long and the others gasped for breath, their faces turning pale.

"etc."

Just then, Gu Yaoxing raised his hand to stop the old man.

He looked at Ye Yaocheng, his condescending smile returning to his face: "Kid, you've got guts, and your skills aren't bad either."

"Alright, I'll give you a chance."

He leaned forward, his tone condescending: "Kneel down, acknowledge me as your master, be my dog, and I will let bygones be bygones today."

"even……"

Gu Yaoxing paused, then his smile deepened: "As long as you perform well, I can give you money, women, and status. How about it?"

He is very confident.

The Gu family in the provincial capital is a place that countless people desperately want to enter but can't, and he took the initiative to recruit them. This is an incredible stroke of luck for the young man.

The old man also spoke coldly: "Young man, it's your good fortune that Young Master Gu is appreciating your talent. Don't be ungrateful."

Ye Yaocheng looked at him and suddenly laughed: "So, you admit you're a dog?"

"you!"

The old man's face darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"I have no interest in wasting my breath on a dog."

Ye Yaocheng's smile vanished, his eyes turning icy: "Neither of you are leaving here today."

Gu Yaoxing's face darkened completely.

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

The moment he finished speaking, the old man moved!

Like a ghost, he vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Ye Yaocheng!

With his right hand forming a claw, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn apart, he aimed straight for Ye Yaocheng's throat!

He had been secretly gathering his strength, waiting for this very moment!

Ye Yaocheng's punch that instantly killed Tieshan made him wary, so he wanted to kill him with one blow!

At the very least, we must severely damage the opponent.

"die!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the old man's eyes.

But the next second, he saw a mocking smile curl up at the corner of Ye Yaocheng's mouth.

"Want to go head-to-head?"

"I'll grant your wish."

Ye Yaocheng neither dodged nor evaded, but threw a punch!

A straight punch gleaming with golden light met the old man's claw technique.

"boom!!!"

The moment they collided, a shockwave exploded, and the entire hall shook!

The walls cracked with spiderweb-like patterns, tables and chairs were overturned, and splinters of wood scattered everywhere.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the old man's face instantly contorted.

He felt as if his right hand had been struck by a fast-moving lucky charm.

His entire arm shattered inch by inch, and terrifying force surged into his body, causing his internal organs to tremble!

"puff!"

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall!

Half of the wall has collapsed.

"You...you..."

The old man pointed at Ye Yaocheng, his fingers trembling, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"this one?"

Ye Yaocheng withdrew his fist, shook his wrist, and said regretfully, "You can't even withstand less than 30% of my strength. At your age, you've really wasted your life."

"you!!!"

The old man was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Ye Yaocheng walked over, squatted down, took out a silver needle, and gently pricked the old man's heart.

The old man's body trembled violently, and then he fell completely silent.

Finishing blows—this was the first lesson his three masters taught him: to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

After doing all this, Ye Yaocheng turned around and looked at Gu Yaoxing in the main seat.

He walked over step by step, his footsteps echoing in the hall like a countdown to death.

The arrogance on Gu Yaoxing's face finally disappeared, replaced by fear.

"You...you stay away!"

He roared, his voice trembling with fear, "I am the eldest son of the Gu family! If you dare touch me, the Gu family will not let you get away with it!"

"My father is a Martial King, and my grandfather is even closer to being a Martial King or higher. Let me go, and I can pretend today's events never happened!"

"I can give you money! Lots and lots of money!"

Ye Yaocheng stopped in front of him.

She looked down at him, her eyes as if she were looking at an ant.

"Are you done talking?" he asked.

Gu Yaoxing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Ye Yaocheng didn't give him the chance.

A silver needle pierced his brow.

Gu Yaoxing's body stiffened, and the fear, resentment, and hatred in his eyes slowly solidified before finally dissipating.

The body slid off the chair and fell to the ground.

Ye Yaocheng didn't even look at them, and walked straight to Qin Long and the others, untying the ropes.

Then, the silver needles and medicinal pills were taken out for treatment.

Half an hour later, Qin Long and the others had recovered to about 70-80% of their injuries.

Although he still has internal injuries that require recuperation, at least he can move around without any problems.

Ye Yaocheng looked at Qi Yu: "Er Gouzi is not bad, give him a proper burial."

"Yes." Saitama nodded vigorously, his eyes red.

那个没事爱显摆，总是被他揍的小弟，永远也不会回来了。

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Ye Yaocheng looked at Qin Long.

Qin Long took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This morning, these three people suddenly broke in and said that we killed Gu Yaozu and wanted revenge."

"But we don't know any Gu Yaozu at all."

Saitama hesitated for a moment, his voice a little hoarse: "Sir, we might actually know each other."

Everyone looked at him.

Saitama looked at Ye Yaocheng and explained, "Do you remember the young master of the Gu family that I was asked to get rid of the first time we met?"

Ye Yaocheng thought for a moment.

It seems that there is such a thing.

That guy surnamed Gu was incredibly arrogant back then, but he was easily killed by him.

Oh, it was that guy! I almost forgot about him.

"My lord," Qin Long hesitated for a moment before speaking, "the Gu family is a first-class family in the provincial capital, and they are very powerful."

"They won't let this go after we killed Gu Yaoxing."

"It's alright." Ye Yaocheng waved his hand. "When you arrive, tell me and I'll handle it."

Although his tone was calm, his composure and confidence inexplicably put Qin Long and the others at ease.

Ye Yaocheng now gives people a feeling of being unfathomable.

If he says he can handle it, then he definitely can.

……

The next few days.

Ye Yaocheng traveled back and forth between the Ji family and the Black Dragon Society.

Refining elixirs, healing wounds, and consolidating one's cultivation.

With the help of the elixirs, Qin Long and the others quickly recovered from their injuries.

He became increasingly respectful towards Ye Yaocheng.

Especially Youlian, the way she looked at Ye Yaocheng had something indescribable about it.

There was both worship and fervent adoration.

She would occasionally find opportunities to get close to Ye Yaocheng, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes darting away when she spoke.

But Ye Yaocheng always responded indifferently and kept his distance.

This annoyed Youlian so much that she could only stomp her feet in frustration.

However, her eyes became even more determined, as if she had made some kind of resolution.

……

Meanwhile, in the council chamber of the Gu family in the provincial capital.

A middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand, staring intently at the scout kneeling below.

"What did you say?!"

"Yaoxing...is dead?!"

His voice trembled, filled with barely suppressed rage.

In the lobby, all the senior executives of the Gu family were silent, no one daring to speak.

After a long while, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and his eyes were cold and menacing.

"So, Linjiang, you've killed two of my sons! Do you really think the Gu family is a pushover?"

"It's alright, I have many sons, they can cause all sorts of trouble without any problems, but I'll remember this grudge."

He looked down at the crowd below, his voice chilling: "Contact the other major families in the provincial capital."

"Tell them that the Linjiang Secret Realm is about to open, and that it is fraught with danger. My Gu family is willing to share information with them."

He paused, a cold smile playing on his lips: "And find out exactly who is going against the Gu family."

Below, someone hesitated: "Patriarch, will the other families agree?"

"They will."

The middle-aged man sneered: "Linjiang is a mixed bag now, the waters are very murky."

"My family has lost face, and they shouldn't think they can escape unscathed either."

"If we're going to lose face, we'll all lose face together."

The hall was completely silent.

Everyone understood that the patriarch was using someone else to do his dirty work.

Using the secret realm as bait, they dragged all the forces in the provincial capital into the mess.

"Go ahead," the middle-aged man waved his hand.

"Linjiang, this is going to be good."
