CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 467 OVERESTIMATING ONESELF (1/5)

The Ye family.

In the courtyard.

A gust of wind blew through; the wind this season wasn’t too cold, but still, Elder Ye couldn’t help but shiver.

He felt a chill that pierced through to the bone.

This chill came directly from Ye Xin and Shangyao.

The two were at each other’s throats, neither willing to back down.

Elder Ye felt that this couldn’t continue.

If they truly angered him, Ye Xin might not have a good outcome.

So Elder Ye quickly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let’s go inside, have a few cups of tea, and sit down to talk slowly."

"No need!" Shangyao stared coldly at Ye Xin and said, "Our purpose in coming this time is firstly to take you away, and secondly to capture Yang Chen. It’s a mission given by the Sect, and no one can defy it!"

"What if I refuse?" Ye Xin replied coldly.

"Refuse?" Shangyao snorted, "I’m sorry, but you don’t have the qualifications!"

"Is that so?" Ye Xin turned slightly and glared at Shangyao, ready to fight.

Seeing Ye Xin like this, Shangyao couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "What do you think you can prevent?"

"Then try me!" Ye Xin wouldn’t back down.

Looking at Ye Xin, Shangyao snorted coldly.

Within the Sect, he was unquestionably the first person.

But Shangyang’s talent was astonishing and could surpass him to become the first. Now Shangyang was ruined, and in reality, Shangyao was pleased, perhaps even grateful to Yang Chen for doing so.

But now Ye Xin was about to return to the Sect, which would greatly affect his status.

He knew the elders valued Ye Xin far more than himself.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t indulge Ye Xin so much and patiently wait.

If Ye Xin were amiable towards him, he might have thought they could come together, which would benefit his development.

But now, Ye Xin was married and was defending a man so fiercely, dispelling any delusions.

Moreover, this was a task assigned by the Sect, and he sensed Third Martial Uncle’s anger. If things weren’t handled properly, it would have a massive impact on him.

Thinking of this, Shangyao’s determination grew stronger.

"I’ll say it again, hand over Yang Chen!" Shangyao said sternly.

"Impossible!" Ye Xin snorted coldly.

Shangyao squinted his eyes at Ye Xin and said coldly, "Don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

"Then give it a try!" Ye Xin adopted a defensive stance.

Shangyao took a deep breath and glanced at Ye Xin, "There’s no choice; this is an order from Martial Uncle, and I must complete it; no one can stop me! Shangyue, go capture her!"

"Let’s see who dares!" An icy voice suddenly emerged from the direction of the front door.

The voice was chilling, as if scraping bone with an icy blade, causing a shiver throughout the body.

Ye Xin, facing the direction of the door, immediately saw the majestic figure appearing at the entrance.

"Yang Chen!" Ye Xin’s eyes flashed with joy, followed by deep concern.

The others looked at Yang Chen and couldn’t help but frown.

Seeing it was Yang Chen, Shangxi was so scared he hid behind Shangyao.

Feeling Shangxi’s movements, Shangyao scolded, "Useless!"

Shangxi lowered his head, not daring to retort.

Having experienced Yang Chen’s prowess firsthand—and with Yang Chen heavily wounded at that—the reckless fighting style was truly unnerving.

Facing Yang Chen, Shangxi couldn’t control his fear.

Shangyao glanced at Yang Chen, sizing him up, feeling this man seemed unusual.

"You’re Yang Chen?" Shangyao asked.

"That’s right!" Yang Chen stared at Shangyao, "And what’s your name?"

In Yang Chen’s view, their Sect might arrange names by seniority; they seemed to belong to the ’Shang’ generation.

"Shangyao!"

"Quite the audacity, using the name of Heaven." Yang Chen mocked.

"I have the credentials!" Shangyao knew not the meaning of humility.

Yang Chen sneered, staring at Shangyao, "If you’re looking for me, don’t lay hands on women!"

"Perfect!" Shangyao waved his hand, "Shangyue, go capture him for me!"

Shangxi listened, looked at Shangyao, hesitated, then looked at Shangyue, pondered, and shook his head, deciding against warning them, figuring they’d ignore him anyway.

"How dare you!" Ye Xin shouted, "I dare you to try it!"

Saying this, Ye Xin stepped forward to block Shangyue.

Shangyue frowned and stared at Ye Xin, "Little Martial Sister, I advise you to step aside!"

"Impossible!" Ye Xin replied coldly.

Today, she decided not to retreat a single step!

Seeing Ye Xin like this, Yang Chen was deeply moved.

"Ye Xin! Step aside!" Shangyao scolded, "This has nothing to do with you!"

"How is it not? He’s my husband, and I absolutely won’t let any of you touch him!" Ye Xin replied coldly.

Upon hearing this, Shangyao frowned.

"You’re asking for trouble!" Shangyao said in a deep voice.

Yang Chen walked over, lowered Ye Xin’s raised arms, and said to Shangyao, "I think the one asking for trouble is you. Speaking to my woman like that will have dire consequences!"

Shangyao sneered, glaring at Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, you’re too naive; Ye Xin is not someone you can have!"

After finishing, Shangyao said coldly, "Shangyue! Drag Ye Xin away! Shangqiu, capture Yang Chen for me!"

"Yes!" Shangyue immediately reached to grab Ye Xin.

"Courting death!" Yang Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, and he pulled Ye Xin behind him, kicking Shangyue’s chest.

Bang!

Shangyue’s eyes widened instantly; he hadn’t seen Yang Chen make a move but was kicked and sent flying.

Shangyue soared over a yard high, flew four or five meters away, and landed on the ground, spitting two mouthfuls of blood, nearly unable to breathe.

Seeing this, Yang Chen squinted slightly.

That kick used eighty percent of his strength; even a resilient special forces soldier taking that hit would be dead for sure, yet Shangyue only spat two mouthfuls of blood!

It seemed these people were not simple.

The others witnessing this scene also had their pupils contract.

They hadn’t expected Yang Chen to take Shangyue down instantly.

Though Shangyue was the weakest among them, he was still one of the Sect’s elite!

Such ease in knocking him out indicated Yang Chen indeed was as extraordinary as Shangxi and Shangyang had described.

Yang Chen looked at everyone and said coldly, "I said those who disrespect my woman will face dire consequences!"

Shangyao snorted coldly, "Arrogant! Shangqiu, go capture him for me!"

"Yes!" Shangqiu responded, approached Yang Chen, eyes alert, ready for any attack.

Just then, the sound of a gun being cocked echoed, followed by a sturdy voice commanding, "All of you, stop!"

Everyone turned to see Elder Ye leading a group armed with guns aimed at them.

Elder Ye shouted, "Nobody move! I know you are formidable, but I don’t believe anyone is faster than bullets! No one can harm my granddaughter and grandson-in-law! Get out, all of you!"
