Chapter Seventy: The Battle Begins

  Seven or eight people surrounded Ye Chen and Chen Tao at the same time, their weapons whizzing towards the two men. Four of them formed a group to besiege the duo. Ye Chen and Chen Tao did not expect these people to take action so suddenly without any warning signs.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao also took action. Ye Chen didn't even pull out the wooden long sword behind his back, using his hands as swords, each strike carrying great power.

  Chen Tao's finger emerged, and the leaves on the ground flew up, flying between his fingers.

  Led by Huang Ge, the seven or eight people did not reach the Xiantian realm, and Ye Chen also didn't feel much pressure. However, Chen Tao's pressure was great, as the strength of several people was not much different. If it were just two people, Chen Tao could still cope, but with four people attacking together, Chen Tao felt an overwhelming pressure.

  Ye Chen's hands moved swiftly, his attacks quick and agile, his palms like swords. Each strike brought immense pressure to the four men. Bam! Bam! Bam! Ye Chen's figure moved rapidly, striking twice, and Huang Ge and the others instantly felt their chests cave in, lying on the ground.

  Ye Chen quickly assisted Chen Tao, and the strength of these people was not much of a threat to Ye Chen at this time. They were soon solved by Ye Chen, who took Chen Tao and left. The people around watched the commotion, but did not expect that these two guys would even dare to kill the Northern Gang's men. It was truly "the ignorant are fearless". The onlookers loved to watch the excitement, but it didn't mean they wanted to provoke trouble.

  The departure of the two did not encounter much obstruction, but this was far from over. Ye Chen and Chen Tao heard introductions from others that this was the territory of the North City Gang, and this matter would not end like this.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao both knew the situation they were facing, so neither of them spoke a word. They headed straight for the wine tower, as it was no longer possible to stay here. This time it was just a few people from the Post-Heaven Realm, but next time it might be several people from the Pre-Heaven Realm, or even dozens of people from the Pre-Heaven Realm. Relying on Ye Chen and Chen Tao's abilities alone was simply not enough.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao thought it was just a simple fight, at most attracting the attention of the North City Gang, but neither of them expected to trigger the subsequent struggle. The news from the North City side quickly spread throughout the entire Drifting City, and many people had information about this side, of course, such trivial matters did not reach the upper levels, only these lower-level people were spreading it.

  In a building of a quadrangle courtyard in the northern city, a middle-aged man with an imposing manner slammed the book in his hand on the table and shouted: "Get me those two guys out, I'll chop them into pieces."

  "Hey, isn't this our Lord Yuanfeng? What's got our Lord Yuanfeng so angry?" A seductive woman walked in from outside and saw Yuanfeng slapping the table in anger, giggling as she spoke.

  "Young lady, is there something I can help you with?" Yuan Feng suppressed the anger in his heart, not wanting to lose his composure in front of this woman.

  "What's wrong, can't you come see our Lord Yuanfeng for no reason?" The charming woman walked to the opposite side of Yuanfeng and sat down, smiling coyly at him.

  Yuan Feng didn't say a word, indifferently nodded his head, picked up the cup of tea on the edge of the table and took a light sip. The demon girl held the intelligence on the table and began to read it.

  "These two little ones are quite something, they actually killed several Huang Fei's men. Isn't this slapping our Yuan Feng master in the face?" The demoness giggled repeatedly.

  "Hmph, are you here to strike me or expose my scars?" Yuan Feng angrily said to the demon queen.

  "Hehe, of course I'm here to help you. How about these two little ones? Do you want me to send someone to pick them up?" The demon queen said with a smile.

  "No need, this small matter doesn't require troubling Her Excellency the Demon Queen, I'll take care of it." Yuan Feng said expressionlessly.

  "Hehe, then let me take another look at Yuan Feng's methods. It's been a long time since I've seen Yuan Feng make a move, and it's about time for me to take a fresh look." The demon queen said with a sly smile. As she spoke, the demon queen walked out of the room, leaving behind a furious Yuan Feng.

  "Go and find those two men for me. I'll kill them with my own hands." Yuan Feng roared. "Yes!" The person standing outside the door replied.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao, facing this situation, didn't dare to stay in the wine tower. They took their things from the wine tower and prepared to leave Liu Lang City. Although they had only been there for a short time, they already felt that the city couldn't accommodate them anymore.

  The 350 yuan he had could only buy a few things. He bought some wine and food, and was ready to leave the place.

  But things won't develop as people imagine, otherwise everyone would just need to imagine and there wouldn't be so many efforts, nor so many innovations.

  Everything that happened in Beicheng was absolutely impossible to escape the intelligence system of the Beicheng Gang, so Ye Chen and Chen Tao's whereabouts would be reported every few seconds at a specific location.

  This is still in broad daylight, if it were at night, the two might have been able to escape from here, but during the day, this place is filled with Beicheng Gang's informants, how could they let the two escape?

  This is absolutely impossible, so Ye Chen and Chen Tao hadn't gone far before they were intercepted again. This time the interceptors were also seven people, but each of them was at the Xiantian boundary, as for how many levels Ye Chen didn't dare to evaluate.

  There was no unnecessary talk, and Yuan Feng ordered them to bring the two over to see him. Since they had to capture them alive, the seven pre-heavenly realm experts didn't say a word and immediately attacked. Ye Chen's expression changed drastically as he yelled at Chen Tao to run quickly. Although Chen Tao had reached the 8th stage of the mortal dust realm, he wasn't Ye Chen, who could resist the attacks of pre-heavenly realm experts at the 8th stage. Maybe once or twice would be fine, but if there were more, he would definitely not be able to escape.

  Chen Tao didn't listen to Ye Chen's words, letting Chen Tao abandon Ye Chen and escape alone. This was something Chen Tao couldn't do, so he didn't say a word and directly showed his attitude through action. The leaves on the ground danced and scattered chaotically in front of Chen Tao. Chen Tao exerted all his strength, quickly grasping the leaves and then flicking them out.

  With a burst of energy, Chen Tao shot out over a dozen leaves, which was already his limit. These dozen or so leaves whizzed towards the incoming Innate Realm experts. Ye Chen saw Chen Tao's resolute expression and firm conviction, knowing that Chen Tao would do whatever it took to stay behind and fight alongside him.

  Ye Chen looked at Chen Tao, and immediately smiled calmly. Since Chen Tao wasn't afraid of death, what did he have to worry about? Ye Chen drew out the wooden long sword on his back, and with a whoosh, a sharp sword aura burst forth, enveloping the wooden long sword, making it look extremely dazzling.

  "Nine Glorious Sword!" Ye Chen executed the move that Qin Mu had used before, his sword energy transforming into a circle and taking the shape of a giant lotus flower, emitting dazzling rays of light. However, Ye Chen's strength was ultimately inferior to Qin Mu's, and although the technique he executed was even more ruthless than Qin Mu's, it lacked speed and its power wasn't as great. Therefore, when the Nine Glorious Sword was unleashed, his opponent had just enough time to dodge its might.
