Chapter 348: Grand Completion
"Yang Chen, you better not meddle in this. This is between me and Lin Hui," Yang Lie declared dominantly.
"Her grandmother asked me to look after her, so her affairs are my concern. Whether you like it or not has nothing to do with me. All I see is that she doesn\'t want to go with you and asked me for help. I have every reason to assist her. So, if you have any intentions, act on them instead of wasting words with me," Yang Chen replied impatiently. This young man looked several years younger than him, yet spoke as if he were in charge, looking down on everyone.
Yang Lie snorted coldly. "You think I dare not? Do you think your strength intimidates me? Let me tell you, in this world, there are many powerful individuals you\'ll never encounter in your lifetime. Your level of strength means nothing to me. In a few years, my strength will be several times yours! You\'d better keep your hands clean. Don\'t think I don\'t know. You must have some ill intentions towards Hui\'er, or why else would you forcefully keep her in your home? She\'s not related to you at all. Do you think I\'m a fool?!"
These words ignited Yang Chen\'s anger. He had no interest in knowing about the so-called powerful individuals Yang Lie claimed to have encountered. Yang Chen only knew that this guy seemed a bit dense.
When you\'re under someone else\'s roof, shouldn\'t you be more respectful?
"Do you want to say another word, and I\'ll make you disappear from this world?" Yang Chen\'s intent to kill was already stirred. Even though he didn\'t like killing, dealing with such an arrogant and disrespectful young man would only lead to trouble.
Hearing Yang Chen\'s words, Cai Ning immediately frowned. "Yang Chen, don\'t act rashly! He just doesn\'t understand the situation."
"Yeah, Brother Yang, just chase him away. Please don\'t kill him," Hui Lin knew the gap in strength between Yang Chen and Yang Lie. If Yang Chen said he would kill him, Yang Lie wouldn\'t stand a chance.
Yang Lie, however, appeared fearless, laughing heartily. "Do you think I dare not? Your true colors are showing now, revealing your malicious intentions towards Hui\'er, aren\'t they? You\'re a despicable creature living in the darkness, deceiving Hui\'er with your superficial innocence."
Before Yang Lie could continue, Yang Chen\'s figure had already moved in an instant to stand before him!
Yang Chen\'s face was dark as thunderclouds, his entire being exuding a crushing momentum towards Yang Lie!
"You...!"
Before he could finish his words, Yang Chen\'s palm had already struck Yang Lie\'s chest!
Yang Lie hadn\'t expected that once Yang Chen got serious, his speed would leave him no time to react!
The vast disparity in their abilities meant that as Yang Chen\'s palm struck his chest, Yang Lie\'s mouth still bore a lingering smirk of arrogance!
"Bam!"
With a muffled sound, Yang Lie\'s body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing seven to eight meters away before tumbling a few times and landing on the grass!
In truth, Yang Lie was propelled only this short distance not solely by Yang Chen\'s force, but because Yang Chen\'s internal strength had penetrated Yang Lie\'s body. Even so, it was terrifying enough that Yang Lie flew such a distance.
Yang Lie spewed a mouthful of coagulated blood, his eyes widened in disbelief as he trembled, pointing shakily at Yang Chen.
"You... dare..."
Yang Lie couldn\'t complete his words. He felt as if his internal organs were being blasted by countless miniature bombs, and his meridians were filled with chaotic energy, making his inner power scatter like rats fleeing from a sinking ship, utterly fragile.
Yang Chen\'s eyes were as cold as blocks of ice, his entire being seemingly engulfed in darkness, despite the bright sunlight outside, casting an ominous shadow around him.
"Oh, your body seems tough enough to withstand my palm and not die," Yang Chen sneered, advancing step by step towards Yang Lie.
Cai Ning was horrified. She never expected Yang Chen to act on his threats so ruthlessly!
If that palm strike had landed on her, Cai Ning believed she would have been instantly killed three times over. Yet Yang Lie, that guy, surprisingly survived, highlighting the vast gap in their martial prowess!
But he absolutely couldn\'t be allowed to die!
Cai Ning hurriedly ran up to Yang Chen, blocking his way and speaking with a cool demeanor tinged with anxiety, "Yang Chen, enough! You can\'t kill him. It will cause trouble!"
At the doorway, Lin Ruoxi and the others were also stunned by Yang Chen\'s sudden outburst, especially Yuan Ye and Tangtang. Although they knew Yang Chen was highly skilled, they hadn\'t expected him to be this formidable.
Lin Ruoxi didn\'t say a word, her face pale. She wasn\'t paying much attention to whether Yang Chen would kill anyone; rather, she was deeply pondering Yang Lie\'s mention of Lin Hui as \'Lin Hui\'?!
Quietly glancing at the anxious Lin Hui beside her, Lin Ruoxi fell into thought.
"Move aside," Yang Chen looked coldly at Cai Ning blocking his path. "You know you can\'t stop me."
Cai Ning gritted her teeth, her gaze determined but pleading, "Yang Chen, don\'t do this. He really can\'t die."
"Why?" Yang Chen asked with a cold laugh.
"His background is very unusual. If something happens to him, you..."
"What can I do? Who can control me?" Yang Chen burst into laughter. "I\'ve been patient enough. He keeps provoking me—first rudely, then ignorantly, and now foolishly, unrepentant. So, what use is there in sparing him?"
Yang Lie, lying on the grass, had never endured such humiliating criticism. Enraged, he coughed up another mouthful of blood onto the grass, pointing at Yang Chen with his bloody mouth wide open, "How dare you insult me?"
Cai Ning\'s face turned ashen. This guy, doesn\'t he understand the situation yet?! Is he truly that foolish?!
Indeed, Yang Chen wasted no more words. With a single sweep of his hand, Cai Ning was rendered powerless and pushed aside. Stepping forward, Yang Chen towered over Yang Lie, looking down at him with resentment.
"I like that look in your eyes. Killing you will be quite satisfying," Yang Chen remarked before aiming a kick towards Yang Lie\'s head!
However, midway through the kick, Yang Chen frowned. In a split second, his body twisted, redirecting the kick into thin air.
"Bam!"
A deafening sound echoed as if a bomb had detonated in mid-air! Suddenly, a bluish-gray figure flashed from the sky, colliding with Yang Chen\'s foot before somersaulting and landing behind Yang Lie.
The bluish-gray figure swiftly pulled Yang Lie aside, shielding him. It was then that everyone recognized him—a senior clad in a cyan robe, with slightly graying hair amidst the black, his complexion healthy and smooth, making it difficult to determine his exact age. His face was now deeply serious, fixed on Yang Chen who remained unmoved.
Seeing the newcomer, Cai Ning first froze, then recalled something, her expression shifting to realization as she sighed in relief, silently hoping this senior could possibly hold back this \'god of death.\'
"Master..." Yang Lie coughed up blood, his face initially pale but now showing a hint of joy upon seeing the senior.
The elder bent down, swiftly applying pressure to several critical acupoints on Yang Lie\'s body, before standing up to face Yang Chen again.
"Young man, spare others as you would spare yourself. My disciple is young; for you to use such force against him, is there no decency left?" The elder furrowed his brows.
Yang Chen watched with interest as the elder completed his actions. He had sensed a tremendous force approaching him earlier, and while he could withstand it, he would still have incurred some injuries, prompting him to engage the elder first.
Yang Chen hadn\'t expected to encounter someone who could match him blow for blow. He sneered, "He\'s young, and so am I. If he hadn\'t provoked me repeatedly, I wouldn\'t have acted. If he\'s your disciple, shouldn\'t you have disciplined him before lecturing me?"
"My disciple indeed erred, but your attack was too harsh," the elder\'s eyes gleamed. "From what I can tell, your cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the innate realm. Such prowess is beyond my reach. Though I don\'t know how someone as young as you attained such skill, with great power comes great responsibility. Why quibble with my disciple over trifles?"
Yang Chen seemed indifferent, but Cai Ning and Yang Lie were both deeply shaken internally. Cai Ning hadn\'t realized Yang Chen had already reached the legendary pinnacle of the innate realm! No wonder he was so formidable! Yang Lie, on the other hand, unwillingly acknowledged that not even his master was a match for this man. His hopes of his master overpowering Yang Chen shattered upon hearing the elder\'s words, realizing he might indeed perish at Yang Chen\'s hands.
"Old man, don\'t think just because you blocked my kick, I won\'t kill you. Let me tell you, your disciple provoked me. If you keep blabbering, I\'ll kill you both," Yang Chen impatiently interrupted the elder\'s sermonizing. He was ready for a fight or to save someone, not to listen to more meaningless talk.
In this world, fairness didn\'t exist; ultimately, strength was determined by fists, not ethics or morals. Believing everything had to be reasoned out or that God was fair was simply naive.
However, at that moment, Yuan Ye, who had been observing Yang Lie and harboring suspicions, suddenly rushed forward. He stood before Yang Lie and hesitantly asked, "Are you Yang Lie from the Yang family?"
