Chen Jie flicked a finger in the air, and a surge of qi shot out, directly at Ye Fan in the wheelchair in the distance.
Not good!
Ye Lingtian's expression changed, as if facing a great enemy.
At the same time, he grabbed one person beside him and threw him forward.
Pfft!
The surge of qi pierced through the person's body and continued its trajectory, shooting towards Ye Fan again!
"Ah! Block it, block it quickly!" Ye Lingtian roared, and frantically grabbed two more people, throwing them forward.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
With muffled thuds, the bodies of these two people were like tattered rags against Chen Jie's qi, being pierced through.
They swept towards Ye Fan with unstoppable force.
"Dad, save me!" Ye Fan screamed.
All of this happened in a flash. Ye Lingtian had already thrown three people, which was his limit.
The surge of qi directly struck Ye Fan's neck.
With a whoosh, like a blade, it severed Ye Fan's head.
Ye Fan never understood how he, having just recovered, died so abruptly.
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they looked at Chen Jie in shock.
Inside the room, there was silence.
So quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Young Master Ye, just like that, dead?
Everyone thought their eyes were deceiving them.
How noble was Young Master Ye's status? Yet he was so easily annihilated.
"Xiao Fan!"
Ye Fan's mother let out a guttural cry, heartbroken as she hugged Ye Fan's body, tears of blood streaming from her eyes.
"Son!"
Ye Lingtian also stared blankly at Ye Fan's corpse.
A sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
His own son, truly dead before his very eyes?
Then what was the point of all his efforts?
"Young Master!" someone called out.
Most people were immersed in grief.
"Useless, all of you useless! You couldn't even block this scoundrel's attack, what use are you to me!" Ye Lingtian kicked one of the human shields he had thrown away.
Then, with bloodshot eyes, he looked at Chen Jie: "Chen Jie, today I will make you regret being born into this world!"
"Whether I regret it or not, I know you'll regret it even more soon!"
Chen Jie said dismissively, "Old beast, I told you you would watch your son die before your very eyes. How do you feel now? Do you regret it?"
Ye Lingtian's lips trembled.
At this moment, he truly felt a bit of regret. He regretted not hiding his son away first.
He regretted not falling out with Chen Jie later.
Otherwise, how could his son have died?
Thump...
A sound of footsteps approached.
Wang Fa entered, leading the North and South Elders.
He saw Ye Fan's severed body at a glance.
This...
Wang Fa's face changed, and he looked at Chen Jie with a hint of blame, "You fool!"
This has gotten out of hand.
He had originally intended to negotiate with Ye Lingtian, to see if he could get him to release Wang Xiaoyan.
With Chen Jie's actions, Ye Lingtian would definitely be at odds with him.
Let alone releasing his daughter.
The North and South Elders looked at Chen Jie in shock: This kid, his strength has recovered?
"Kid, you dare to come to my house and kill my Ye family's eldest young master, do you think my Ye family has no one? Take your life!" A middle-aged man's eyes were sharp.
He leaped forward, jumping in front of Chen Jie, and kicked towards him.
"It's the Ye family's enshrined warrior, Ye Wudao!" someone exclaimed.
"Ye Wudao is a Xuan-level martial artist!"
"Hmph, let's see how this kid survives!"
Everyone sneered.
"Chen Jie, be careful!" Wang Xiaoyan cried out.
Chen Jie didn't dodge.
To others, this seemed like Chen Jie was stunned by fear, and they all waited to see him instantly kicked to death.
Bang!
A kick landed squarely on Chen Jie.
However, the moment Ye Wudao kicked Chen Jie, a light shield emerged from Chen Jie's body, blocking the kick.
"What?" Ye Wudao was greatly alarmed.
Others exclaimed, "I remember, this kid has a protective magical artifact that can block some attacks! Ye Wudao, be careful!"
Chen Jie also nodded with satisfaction. A complete protective magical artifact not only had permanent effects but was also far stronger than a damaged one.
It could not be destroyed by a full-power strike from a Xuan-level master in one go.
Moreover, as a cultivator, Chen Jie could replenish the spiritual energy consumed by the protective magical artifact at any time.
This way, as long as his internal spiritual energy was not depleted, these people could not break through his defenses.
The reason he didn't dodge just now was to test the artifact's effectiveness in combat.
"You are too weak, I am very disappointed in you!"
Chen Jie's expression turned cold. He霸道ly grabbed Ye Wudao's foot that was kicking him, then pulled the entire person towards him.
His right hand swiftly gripped Ye Wudao's neck and then twisted with force.
With a crack,
Ye Wudao's neck bent at a ninety-degree angle, and he died, bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Ye Wudao!" everyone exclaimed.
Then, they looked at Chen Jie in disbelief.
This strength, to be able to instantly kill Ye Wudao, a Xuan-level master!
Wang Fa also looked at Chen Jie in shock.
"Everyone attack together! Kill him! Avenge Young Master Ye!" someone shouted.
"Good! Attack together!"
Instantly, more than a dozen people rushed towards Chen Jie.
Among them were Xuan-level masters, but in Chen Jie's eyes, they were still too weak, not even as good as the Ye Wudao from earlier.
Chen Jie couldn't help but shake his head, "You are all too weak, not even qualified to make me act. Since you are willing to die for the Ye family, I will fulfill your wish!"
Saying this, Chen Jie suddenly took out a stack of cinnabar yellow paper from his pocket and rapidly stroked the top layer with his right hand.
With each stroke, a piece of yellow paper flew towards one of the attackers.
Self-detonating runes!
This was inspired by Yang Tian's inscribed talismans.
The immortal cultivation secret methods he obtained from the seabed were all-encompassing, including a branch of runes, which allowed him to imprint some of his techniques and attacks into talismans, to be unleashed without effort at critical moments.
Although the principle was the same as Yang Tian creating a large number of talismans in advance, the method was vastly different.
Yang Tian's creation of talismans required his own vital blood as a guide, and the power was greatly diminished. He could not create a large quantity at once, and it took years of accumulation to have such a rich reserve.
But Chen Jie was different. As long as his spiritual energy was sufficient, he could create a large quantity at any time, and the power loss was minimal.
Before, he only drew simple runes for healing.
Inspired by Yang Tian, he had seized this opportunity to create a large number of yellow papers.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
The yellow papers flew onto the attackers like playing cards.
Soon, Chen Jie's supply of talismans was depleted.
This was also a hasty decision he made today. He had casually bought some when he met Jiang Xue earlier.
So there wasn't much.
But it was enough.
"Ah!"
"Not good, we need to run!"
The attackers sensed something was wrong and instinctively wanted to flee.
But it was too late.
Chen Jie clapped his hands, and panic filled everyone's faces.
Then, pfft, pfft, pfft...
These people who had attacked Chen Jie, their blood and qi surged, and they exploded.
