YM778.TV Chapter 98 - 98: The Dead Can Keep Secrets!
Jiang Wenlin subconsciously touched his cheek and instantly discovered a faint trace of blood. His expression changed slightly.
A flying cigarette butt actually had that much power?
Was this kid actually an expert?
For some reason, the moment he stepped into the alley, he had sensed an invisible aura condense around them.
It was as if they had entered the young man’s domain.
He dispelled the ridiculous thoughts in his mind and walked toward the young man step by step.
In River City, in the field of martial arts, no one could stand against the Jin, Meng and Jiang families.
He had never seen this kid in front of him before. So what kind of strength could he possibly have anyway?
That cigarette butt just now had just been a coincidence!
If the other party really had some measure of ability, why would he need to be so secretive about bidding for the hundred-herb cauldron?
It was obvious that he had been afraid of offending the Jiang family.
“Kid, you’re the one who won the hundred-herb cauldron, right?” Jiang Wenlin’s tone was a little cold.
“That’s right.”
Ye Chen admitted it without hesitation.
Jiang Wenlin was stunned when he heard this. He had not expected the other party to admit to it so easily.
“Were you the one who provided the Jin family with the pill?” Jiang Wenlin probed.
“Yes,” Ye Chen replied straightforwardly.
This time, Jiang Wenlin was not the only one dumbfounded, but the two Jiang family experts behind him were stunned senseless.
It was such an important secret! Most people would rather die than reveal such information.
After all, they had no proof or evidence to back up their assumptions.
However, the other party had admitted it so openly!
This was completely beyond everyone’s expectations!
Was he a fool?
Had he had enough of life on Earth?
If this secret became known to all the martial arts experts in River City, or even the entire Jiangnan Province, this kid would die without a doubt!
Jiang Wenlin even began to doubt the authenticity of the young man’s words.
“You’re the one who won the hundred-herb cauldron, of that I’m sure. But why did you admit that you were the one who provided the pill at the auction?”
“Do you know the importance of medicinal pills in Huaxia?”
“I guess trash like you probably doesn’t even know what a medicinal pill is!”
Jiang Wenlin’s tone of voice was sharp. From his perspective, this kid was definitely toying with him!
Is that so?
II
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile. The very next second, he took out a handful of medicinal pills from his pocket.
It was an entire handful.
“Then… Are these pills enough to convince you?”
At this very moment, Jiang Wenlin and the other two Jiang family experts were stunned. The alley fell silent.
Their eyes were fixed on the medicinal pills in Ye Chen’s hand.
A large handful of medicinal pills…
They stared at it like statues, unmoving in the slightest.
They did not even dare to breathe!
This kid really had medicinal pills! Pills with pill patterns!
After some time, Jiang Wenlin finally came to his senses, and his eyes began to exude cold killing intent.
As far as he was concerned, those medicinal pills all belonged to him. This kid was not qualified to have them at all!
Once he obtained these pills, the position of family head in the future would definitely be his!
He raised his head and revealed a horrifying smile. “Kid, be smart. Hand over those pills and tell me where they came from. If you do, I’ll allow you to be my dog, and no one in River City will dare to mess with you!”
Ye Chen stretched lazily and looked at Jiang Wenlin. He said indifferently, “Hey, do you know why I told you all that?”
“Why?” Jiang Wenlin asked subconsciously.
“Because only the dead can keep secrets forever.”
Ye Chen’s voice was dripping with malice.
This sudden sentence caused the atmosphere in the alley to turn heavy.
There was a hint of tension in the air.
Jiang Wenlin’s facial expression darkened. He glanced at the middle-aged man beside him and said, “Jiang Meng, break this kid’s arms and legs and bring him to me.”
“Yes, young master!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Meng moved. He shot out like an arrow released from a bow. When he was three meters away from Ye Chen, he suddenly leapt into the air and onto the wall!
The inertia from his approach allowed him to jump five meters high! He then turned around and kicked Ye Chen at full strength!
The power of this kick was equivalent to an attack by a half-step transcendent realm martial artist! His leg carried a force of several hundred pounds!
The surrounding wind howled!
Once it landed on Ye Chen’s body, even if he did not die, he would be crippled for life!
The killing intent in Ye Chen’s eyes grew stronger and stronger. The very next moment, he attacked!
There was nothing fancy about his attack. He simply circulated his true qi and suddenly threw a punch upward!
This punch looked ordinary and unremarkable, but it created sonic booms as it passed through the air!
It even gave people the illusion that the sky was about to explode!
Jiang Meng, whose kick was about to land, suddenly noticed a stream of qi wrapped around Ye Chen’s fist. His pupils suddenly enlarged!
This was because this stream of qi was true qi!
This kid actually had true qi!
He wanted to pull back his leg, but it was too late!
Bang!
The punch and kick collided!
Crack!
The sound of a bone breaking reverberated through the entire alley. Jiang Meng’s right leg was almost twisted off entirely, and even smashed into his own face at a strange angle!
The feeling of having his leg torn apart made him wish he was dead!
However, this was not the most frightening part. Jiang Meng also felt a wave of energy penetrate his internal organs the moment his leg collided with Ye Chen’s fist!
He could not suppress his internal injuries any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, after which his entire body crashed into the wall!
Another loud noise erupted, and Jiang Meng’s bones seemed to have all been broken. He lay on the ground, spurting blood in extreme pain!
Who would have thought that a kid who still smelled of his mother’s milk would be able to severely injure Jiang Meng, who was a half-step transcendent realm martial artist, with just a single punch!
Jiang Wenlin and the other old man’s hearts seemed to be violently twitching.
They had seen many martial arts techniques in their lifetime, but they had never seen such a domineering punch.
Before they could react, Ye Chen was already walking toward them.
Jiang Wenlin snorted coldly. “You little brat. How dare you kill a member of my Jiang family? Do you know what you’ve done? Your parents and everyone around you, including that woman in the coffee shop, will die! The martial arts families of River City are not something a powerless piece of trash like you can mess with!”
“You talk too much,” Ye Chen’s cold voice had already reached his ears.
“Old Min, let’s kill him together!” Jiang Wenlin’s expression changed drastically.
The two of them were both at the grandmaster realm. In Jiang Wenlin’s opinion, if they joined forces, they would be able to kill the young man in front of them!
“Yes, young master!”
Old Min’s sleeve flickered, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand. He grasped the dagger and slashed it at Ye Chen’s neck in an arcing strike!
This slash was extremely precise and extremely ruthless!
If the slash landed, the end result would be bloody.
Jiang Wenlin took a step forward as well, causing dust to fly and cracks to appear on the ground. At the same time, he struck out with a palm, which carried a thunderous force that had locked onto Ye Chen!
“Brat, it’s your honor to die to the Jiang family’s Rolling Thunder palm!”
Ye Chen looked at the two of them and smiled.
They dared to call themselves a martial arts family with such trashy moves?
He only stretched out a single hand and said indifferently, “I can kill you both with one hand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen’s hand flashed like lightning and directly grasped the old man’s wrist. “Crack!” Old Min felt an invisible force lock onto him! His wrist was twisted 360 degrees!
However, the dagger was still tightly in his grasp!
The next second, a force seemed to control his hand and dagger!
With a twist of his hand, he found himself slashing the dagger at Jiang Wenlin’s extended arm!
“Young master! Be careful!”
However, his warning had come too late!
Old Min wanted to withdraw his hand or let go of the dagger, but he realized that he could not do either one!
The strange man in front of him had everything under control!
Clang! Clang!
The dagger fell to the ground.
However, the dagger was now covered in blood.
Jiang Wenlin felt that something was amiss.. He looked down and discovered that his entire arm was gone! The blood in his body was gushing out continuously!
