CHAPTER 555: REVISED: CHAPTER 555 IN DIRE STRAITS

The tiger descends from the mountain.

An unstoppable force.

Ye Guichen understands that if he doesn’t completely defeat the people of Nandu Martial Arts Hall today, Lv Liang won’t come out.

Since that’s the case, let your Nandu Martial Arts Hall become a laughingstock.

Let’s see if Lv Liang will still put on airs.

Lv Liang’s thoughts are simple.

Ye Guichen is indeed strong, even knocking out Ding Fei with just two moves.

However, no matter how strong a fierce tiger is, it can’t outfight a pack of wolves.

As long as Ye Guichen understands how deep the waters are here, he should realize that no matter how strong one’s fists are, they can’t dominate recklessly.

Good idea.

But soon, Lv Liang found his thinking somewhat naive.

Visible to the naked eye, Ye Guichen’s figure seemed to turn into a fleeting shadow.

On the arena, it appeared as if it had become a slaughterhouse.

Nearly two hundred people swarmed forward with overwhelming momentum, seemingly unstoppable.

But before any of them could touch Ye Guichen, that momentum vanished.

Figures darted around.

Screams filled the air.

Three minutes or five minutes?

For Lv Liang, it felt like an endless century.

But he knew clearly that it was definitely less than ten minutes.

Around the arena, wails filled the air.

The worst, with pale bones piercing through the flesh, in excruciating pain.

The slightly better off were only suffering from minor external injuries.

Nearly half had completely lost their combat ability.

The other half were filled with terror.

Ye Guichen slowly discarded the already bent steel pipe in his hand, then picked up two more, brought them together, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "One steel pipe seems a bit light, two hitting you should feel more comfortable!"

These words sent chills down the spines of those about to charge forward.

Getting hit by the steel pipe would definitely not feel comfortable.

The saying that a fierce tiger can’t outfight a pack of wolves seemed like a joke.

But without Lv Liang’s command, these people dared not retreat.

For a moment, it seemed like a stalemate.

Ye Guichen stepped forward and jumped off the arena.

Whish!

The crowd scattered to both sides, keeping a distance from Ye Guichen.

"It’s just a duel, is it worth using such lethal force?" Ye Guichen shook his head: "And clearly, it was supposed to be a one-on-one fight. Look at this, so many people, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?"

Acting as if no one else existed.

Pointing fingers.

These words made everyone present blush with embarrassment.

Lv Liang could no longer hold back.

If he continued to hide, he firmly believed Ye Guichen would tear apart Nandu Martial Arts Hall.

"Disperse!"

Lv Liang gave the command and walked quickly.

"Brother Ye, what’s going on?"

His face turned from iron to another color.

Seeing the mess and the wailing people, his face sank: "Brother Ye, I’ve been good to you, yet you come to tear down my place?"

Ye Guichen smiled mockingly: "Master Lu, if I truly wanted to tear down your place, not one person here would survive."

He casually pointed to the people lying on the ground.

Lv Liang’s expression changed suddenly.

Only then did he notice that everyone’s injuries were just right.

They had lost their combat ability but weren’t fatal.

Deep in his eyes, a trace of fear flashed.

This Ye Guichen seemed to be more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

"Haha, Brother Ye, let’s talk in the office." He laughed to ease the awkwardness.

Lv Liang took the lead, guiding Ye Guichen to the office.

After sitting down, the smile on Lv Liang’s face completely disappeared as he bluntly said: "Brother Ye, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, the situation is such, why seek your own death?"

If Lv Liang still couldn’t understand Ye Guichen’s intention, he might as well crash into a block of tofu and die.

Since they were going to talk, he thought it’d be better to knock some sense into Ye Guichen and make him retreat.

Ye Guichen abruptly stared into Lv Liang’s eyes: "Are you working for King Yan?"

In an instant, Lv Liang seemed to be hit with an immobilization spell.

His mouth twitched.

Then he gently shook his head: "Brother Ye, I don’t understand what you’re saying about King Yan."

Ye Guichen chose not to hide anymore: "Haha, Master Lu, King Yan of Yama Hall has already sided with Azure Dragon Commerce, you should know who he is better than I do. Not only me, even Dragon Teeth will one day eliminate him. Aren’t you afraid of being involved too much with him?"

Lv Liang’s expression froze, then he shook his head and sighed: "Brother Ye, don’t you understand? You’re just a pawn in Duan Nanye’s hand. Haha, do you really think you can handle the matters of the underground world?"

Slowly reclining on the sofa, he lit a cigarette and exhaled a thick cloud, finally calming a bit: "Brother Ye, your skills have truly surprised me, so as an older brother, I am giving you an opportunity to sit here and talk. Otherwise, even if I don’t act, someone else would."

"You saw firsthand what happened last night, the fate of the neighboring Tianhe Martial Arts Hall is only a drop in the ocean. I don’t want to follow in their footsteps, so everything I do now is merely for self-preservation."

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes.

He could sense that Lv Liang wasn’t lying.

He had thought Lv Liang was fully working for King Yan but now found it was more complicated.

"Master Lu, you should know who King Yan of Yama Hall is. How can you stomach doing such heinous deeds with him?"

Lv Liang sighed again and shook his head: "Brother Ye, the waters here are too deep, you have no idea. If King Yan truly had control over everything, why would Dragon Teeth ignore it? Haha, do you think Duan Nanye doesn’t want to intervene? Perhaps, he doesn’t dare to."

"What do you mean?" Ye Guichen sensed something off.

Lv Liang squinted: "You should know Su Jiu’er’s identity. Why did Duan Nanye send you and Su Jiu’er here? Haha, at first I couldn’t understand why a young, inexperienced kid like you would dive into these murky waters. Watching the tragedy of Tianhe Martial Arts Hall last night until dawn, I finally figured it out. Su Jiu’er backs Sunan King; even if some people lack propriety, they must be cautious. But you are just a young, inexperienced kid, unaware of the depths and seriousness, yet possessing remarkable skills, sent here to stir things up. Is Duan Nanye trying to fish in troubled waters?"

Ye Guichen frowned without speaking.

Lv Liang continued: "Moreover, the Wang Family hasn’t even farted, seemingly endorsing everything King Yan does. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?"

Ye Guichen remained silent but had already figured out a rough idea.

Duan Nanye had sent him here in exchange for using Dragon Teeth’s information network to investigate the Seven-colored Lotus Jade.

It seemed he wanted to drag him into the muddy waters.

Lv Liang didn’t know his true identity, thinking he was a highly skilled but foolish guy, while Duan Nanye knew his identity.

Behind this, there was likely more than just King Yan and Azure Dragon Commerce involved; perhaps higher layers of power were connected.

Thus, even Dragon Teeth alone couldn’t resolve it.

Involving the Heavenly God Temple might bring a chance of winning.

Ye Guichen understood this, couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Calculating all this, he didn’t expect to be played by Duan Nanye, who seemed upright and honest.

However, on second thought.

Ye Guichen could understand Duan Nanye’s predicament.

At this moment, Duan Nanye was probably more distressed and exhausted.
