Chapter 246 - Assassination!

Ye Chen's gaze was calm as he stopped where he was.

At this moment, more than ten black-clothed men surrounded Ye Chen with weapons in their hands. The leader of the black-clothed men looked at Ye Chen and laughed loudly, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be so sharp. You actually discovered us?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "No...do you think that you're hiding very well and that it's difficult to discover?"

Kacha!

One by one, the black-clothed men revealed the magic treasures in their hands.

They all faced Ye Chen.

"Brat, you're really stubborn even when death is at hand!" The black-clothed men sternly said.

Ye Chen indifferently said, "I'm not interested in the others. What I'm interested in is not knowing who sent you to kill me?"

"With just you, do you think you're qualified to know who our young master is?" The black-clothed man in the lead gave a look and said, "Brat, if someone wants you to die, don't blame us for being merciless!"

"Kill him!"

As he said this, over ten black-clothed men began to disperse. Symbols shot into the sky from their bodies, and powerful true Qi continuously surged towards their bodies, aiming at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen quietly stood on the spot. At this time, the leading black-clothed man shouted loudly, "Any delay will cause a change. Kill him for me!"

As he said this, countless people began to fire their weapons at Ye Chen, and the true Qi that filled the sky attacked Ye Chen.

Each of them held their weapons and charged toward Ye Chen.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth curled up slightly, but he did not move a single step. He raised his palm slightly, and instantly, waves of true Qi began to gather around Ye Chen.

The true Qi flowed and formed a barrier around Ye Chen, enveloping him.

The true Qi flew over and all of it was stuck on the barrier.

Seeing this scene, the black-clothed man was shocked. He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief and said, "How is this possible?"

"How is this possible? There are so many of us but we can't hurt you? What realm are you at exactly?"

These black-clothed men were not very strong. The strongest one was only at the Mahayana Realm. Of course, in this Sunset Cloud City, the Mahayana Realm was considered an expert.

But in the outside world, those in the Mahayana Realm were just cannon fodder.

Ye Chen looked at them indifferently and said, "What can a mere Mahayana Realm do to me?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Instantly, countless amounts of true Qi gathered around him.

True Qi began to condense into transparent short swords that floated around Ye Chen.

When everyone saw the short swords, they were all very surprised.

They felt an inexplicable pressure and danger. Under this pressure, many people could not even stand properly.

They felt an endless fear. That fear came from the depths of their souls. It was as if death was gripping their hearts. They could not breathe.

Many people threw down their weapons. There was only one thought in their minds. "Run!"

"He's a devil, run!"

Someone shouted, and immediately, more than ten assassins threw down their weapons and turned around to run.

The corner of Ye Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he said slowly, "You want to run?"

As he said that, the transparent short sword that was condensed by the true Qi floating beside Ye Chen shot out.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

The short sword entered the bodies of the black-clothed men, and all of them died instantly. Only the leader of the black-clothed men was left paralyzed on the spot.

Ye Chen looked at him indifferently and said, "Alright, now that your men are dead, you can tell me who sent you here!"

The man in black hurriedly knelt in front of Ye Chen. Fear had made him lose his mind. He said crazily, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

"Alright, tell me!" Ye Chen asked indifferently.

"Young Master Zhao Qi sent us here. We are assassins trained by the Zhao family. It was Young Master Zhao who sent us here to kill you!" The assassin said while kneeling on the ground.

"Senior, I've already said it. Can you let me live? I won't do it again," the assassin cried while kneeling on the ground.

Ye Chen looked at him and said, "Do you know why I'm still alive?"

The assassin raised his head and looked into Ye Chen's deep eyes. He shook his head.

"Because if anyone dares to kill me, I will kill them first. You've already made your move. Do you think I will let you go?" Ye Chen said with a murderous look in his eyes.

His true Qi condensed into a short sword and hung in the air.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want to die yet!" The killer kept bowing and begging for mercy.

"Since you want to kill others, you have to be prepared to be killed!" After saying that, Ye Chen left the alley without looking back.

The transparent short sword shot towards the killer. The killer kept crying and complaining, his eyes revealing a look of despair. His pupils kept contracting until the short sword directly entered his body, and the killer died instantly.

Zhao Qi?

Ye Chen remembered that the person who came to ask for Eldest Senior Sister's hand in marriage during the day was Zhao Qi.

Ye Chen usually did not like to cause trouble.

Moreover, he was also very low-key.

However, if someone wanted to kill him, then he would return the favor a hundred times over.

From the very beginning, Ye Chen had been a little disgusted with this Zhao Qi. He came to ask for Eldest Senior Sister's hand in marriage and wanted to cheat on him. He was already displeased, to begin with, and now he even sent people to kill him.

Now it seemed like he should make a trip to Silvermoon City before he went to the Righteous Path Alliance Convention!
