"Ye Zichen, you clearly have three hundred thousand silver, why must you make me lose face in front of Xi Ya? Did you do that on purpose?"

The moment Bai Xi Ya left, the smile on Ji Qing Xue's face disappeared. She looked angrily at Ye Zichen and said angrily.

"Ji Qing Xue, I think you forgot one thing: the three hundred thousand taels of silver is already mine, I want to spend it all on you." Ji Qing Xue, I think you have forgotten one thing, the three hundred thousand taels of silver is already mine, I want to spend it all the way.

The night was lonely, and the cold moonlight shone down on White Emperor City. The silver light glimmered, making it hard for the dark city to have a trace of light.

After returning to the Earth Courtyard, Ye Zichen directly went to the side room, closed the door, took out a low grade soul crystal, and started to cultivate using the Soul Devouring Spell to break through into the fourth grade spirit beast realm.

The angry Ji Qing Xue didn't disturb him. After returning, she immediately locked herself in her room. She didn't even come out to eat dinner.

As the night grew darker and Ye Zichen was completely immersed in his cultivation, his sharp perception suddenly detected three unfamiliar auras quietly entering the yard and slowly approaching the main house.

"I was just worrying about the lack of cultivation resources when all of you came knocking." Ye Zichen opened his closed eyes, while the corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.

"Who is it?"

However, before Ye Chenfeng could make a move, the restless Ji Qingxue sensed the danger and quickly put on her clothes. She rushed out of the room and started a fierce battle with the three men in black, who were holding daggers.

Although Ji Qing Xue fought one-on-one against three, her innate talent was extremely high and she had already broken through to the sixth grade spirit beast rank. Moreover, her Ice Bird soul beast's rank wasn't low, so once they fought, she immediately gained the upper hand and completely suppressed the three's attacks.

"Screech!"

The ice bird flapped its wings and flew high up into the sky. It drew a beautiful arc through the night sky, piercing through the attacks of the three people. Its blade-like wings cut open their chests, causing large amounts of blood to spurt out.

"Retreat!"

After seeing Ji Qingxue's terror, the three men in black, who were planning to assassinate Ye Chen, immediately had the urge to retreat. They endured the injuries on their chests and quickly ran out of the courtyard, quickly disappearing under the night sky.

"Hmph, coward."

Ji Qingxue discovered that Ye Chenfeng did not show himself the entire time when he was fighting with the three men in black. She thought that he was too scared to show himself and felt even more contempt for him in her heart.

However, Ji Qingxue did not know that Ye Chenfeng was not in the room, but had already left long ago. He had hidden outside in order to intercept the three people and devour their soul beasts.

"Damn, what bad luck! How could there be such a powerful woman in that brat's yard? If we hadn't run so fast, we would have already fallen today!"

One of the men in black clutched his chest and cursed.

"Big brother, now that we failed to assassinate that Ye Chenfeng, how are we going to explain this to Young Master Di when we get back?"

"Sigh, when we get back to the Di Family, we can only tell them the whole story. I hope Young Master Di can pay us enough for our loyalty and heal us."

"What? You want to go back?"

Just as the three of them were fleeing in the direction of the Di Residence, a ghost-like voice entered their ears.

An ice-cold voice resounded in their ears. The hearts of the three black-clothed men trembled, and when they turned their heads, they saw a figure that was like a cheetah chasing after them, blocking their path.

"Who are you?"

The three men in black looked at the black shadow blocking their path as if they were facing a great enemy and asked vigilantly.

"Aren't you going to kill me? Why can't you recognize me when you see me? "

With his hands behind his back and the aid of the moonlight, Ye Chenfeng looked at the three of them indifferently.

"You're that Ye Chenfeng!" The three men in black revealed looks of disbelief as they spoke in unison.

After all, according to Di Wanshi's information, Ye Chenfeng was only a trash without a soul beast, so there was nothing to fear.

"That's right, it's me."

Ye Chenfeng walked step by step towards them with his hands behind his back and the steps that he was accustomed to.

"Since you wish to die, we shall grant your wish."

Although Ye Chenfeng appeared to be very strange, they knew that they had no way out. They quickly fused with each other's soul beasts to increase their own soul power, took out sharp daggers from their pockets, and started a lethal attack towards Ye Chenfeng.

The three of them were all Rank 5 Spirit Beasts. When they merged with their soul beasts, their attacks were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng.

Three daggers that were wrapped in white soul power pierced towards Ye Chenfeng's chest, wanting to pierce his heart and understand his life.

"Hah!"

Facing the fatal attack from the three of them, Ye Zichen did not dodge at all. The skin on his body shook, and a force of more than 2500 pounds flowed into his fist.

A 'kacha' sound was heard.

Ye Zichen's fist, which was filled with terrifying power, directly smashed a sharp dagger into the chest of the man in black. It pierced through his sternum and his body fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut, while the state of his body was unknown.

Ye Zichen sent one person flying with a punch, while the other two men in black fiercely stabbed him in the chest with their daggers.

However, Ye Chenfeng, who cultivated six meridians of Divine Obstruction and had his flesh and blood cultivated to the initial stage, had extremely strong skin defense. The two sharp daggers only left two wounds on his skin, but did not cause any damage to his body.

Just as the two men in black were terrified of Ye Chenfeng's terrifying physical defense, Ye Chenfeng's palms pressed down heavily on their chests, causing them to collapse and fall onto the ground, losing all feeling.

Ye Zichen relied on his absolute physical strength to heavily injure the three of them, then he immediately arrived beside them and activated the Soul Devouring Secret Art, causing him to devour their soul beasts.

"Such pure soul power."

Sensing the change in his soul power, Ye Zichen revealed a faint smile.

"Eh, three thousand silver."

When Ye Zichen killed the three of them and dug a hole to bury them, he accidentally found three notes worth a thousand taels of silver on them.

With these three thousand taels of silver, it was just the right time to solve Ye Zichen's desperate situation.

After burying them, Ye Zichen immediately returned to the side room of the Earth Academy. He washed off the blood stains on his body, then began to control the Blood Egg to absorb the pure soul power in his body, in an attempt to break through into the fourth grade spirit beast realm.
