Chapter 2181: You Are Truly Bothersome Chapter 2181: You Are Truly Bothersome Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Ye Chen entered the secret chamber, the first person he saw was Chen Zhifan. As Ye Chen glanced at Chen Zhifan’s severed hand and the wounds all over his body, the coldness in his gaze intensified. Chen Zhifan, meanwhile, was completely stunned when he saw Ye Chen standing before him. Initially, he had already descended into despair. The only reason he did not completely collapse was because he still held onto Ye Chen’s words and his own pride. However, he never anticipated that Ye Chen would appear before him at this critical moment. Chen Zhifan’s eyes began to light up. He had finally discovered a glimmer of hope within his despair. Even with Chen Zhifan’s strong temperament, he could not help but feel a surge of excitement. “Ye Chen, is that you?” he asked incredulously. “Brother Chen, it is indeed me,” Ye Chen replied with a smile and a nod. Meanwhile, Hong Feiyuan, who stood to the side, was shocked by the unexpected arrival of this young man in the secret chamber. After all, it was rare for anyone to appear in such a peculiar manner. Nevertheless, he quickly composed himself, for he had already probed Ye Chen’s cultivation level. Upon hearing the exchange between Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan, Hong Feiyuan was momentarily taken aback. Then, he turned to Ye Chen with a sneer and laughed. “Did I hear correctly? You two know each other? Do not tell me you have come here to save your friend? You invaded my family’s residence just for this? Hahaha, even foolishness has its limits!” Ye Chen chose to ignore Hong Feiyuan. With a flick of his wrist, a sword appeared in his palm. The sword glimmered as it slashed at the chains binding Chen Zhifan’s wrist and other areas, severing them. Chen Zhifan’s body grew lighter as he fell to the ground. After enduring prolonged torture, he lacked the strength to stand on his own. He could only rise with Ye Chen’s support. When Hong Feiyuan witnessed Ye Chen attacking Chen Zhifan’s chains, his expression remained calm and indifferent. His eyes betrayed disdain as a cold smile crept across his face. These chains were specially designed by the Hong Family to imprison prisoners, constructed from deep-sea cold iron. Ordinary Star Aperture realm experts could not break them, let alone a mere Creation expert. Hong Feiyuan did not even feel the need to intervene. As Ye Chen drew his sword, he instinctively remarked, “Fool, how can you…” However, as the sound of metal breaking echoed throughout the secret chamber, Hong Feiyuan forced himself to swallow the words that had been poised on the tip of his tongue. His eyes widened in disbelief, nearly popping from their sockets as he stared in shock at the shackles that Ye Chen had effortlessly severed. His disbelief was so intense that it felt as if his eyeballs might fall to the ground. How was this possible? How had this Creation realm brat accomplished such a feat? Moreover, it appeared that he had struck with his sword quite casually, as if he had not utilized his full strength at all. Soon, Hong Feiyuan’s gaze shifted to the jet-black sword in Ye Chen’s grasp. His eyes brightened with realization. He believed he had found the answer. That sword was, in fact, a True God artifact! Desire filled his eyes. With this sword, his power would undoubtedly increase significantly. Hong Feiyuan’s spirit surged, and his breathing quickened. He raised his sword, pointing it at Ye Chen, and sneered, “Brat, lower the sword in your hand. You intruded upon my secret chamber. It would be wise for you to surrender peacefully. If you do so, I might allow you to leave unharmed. Otherwise, your death will not be as simple as you think!” “You can ask your friend about this. He should have a deep understanding of what he experienced.” Hong Feiyuan believed that under the pressure of his aura, even if Ye Chen would not surrender, he would at least reveal some weakness. The reason he refrained from attacking directly was due to a lingering fear of the power contained within Ye Chen’s sword. However, Ye Chen simply retrieved a pill and took Chen Zhifan’s severed hand. He carefully crushed the pill and smeared it on the stump where the hand had been. Then, he placed the severed hand back onto the wound and bandaged it. At the same time, he transformed another pill into pure medicinal energy and injected it into Chen Zhifan’s body. He disregarded Hong Feiyuan’s words entirely, treating him as if he did not exist. Hong Feiyuan’s expression darkened, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Even the hand gripping the sword trembled slightly. This time, he was completely furious. Initially, he thought that Ye Chen’s nonchalance was merely an attempt to ignore his presence. Now, he felt that Ye Chen truly did not think him worthy of attention. As a genius of the Hong Family, Hong Feiyuan was accustomed to being adored wherever he went. Naturally, he was an exceedingly proud individual. How could he tolerate such treatment? “I am speaking to you!” he shouted. “Are you deaf?” As he spoke, a murderous glint flashed across his face. He waved the sword in his hand, and a streak of sword essence surged forth. A sword dragon condensed and began to nimbly circle the small chamber. It then turned and lunged toward Ye Chen. This sword technique was the Hong Family’s ancient secret technique, the Dragonslayer Divine Sword! As the young master of the Hong Family, Hong Feiyuan had been practicing this sword technique since birth, and had cultivated it to near-perfection. His sword essence was immensely powerful and extremely refined! The sharpness and grace of the sword were entirely contained within the sword dragon, not leaking out in the slightest. Though this sword did not possess overwhelming power, it was still a terrifying attack. Most likely, in a moment of haste, even an ordinary peak-level Star Aperture realm expert would struggle to defend against it, would they not? Hong Feiyuan could not conceal the burning excitement in his eyes. He eagerly anticipated the moment Chen Zhifan’s expression would once again sink into despair after he eliminated Ye Chen. Ye Chen glanced at the dragon-shaped sword essence and said calmly, “You are truly bothersome. Are you aware of that?” He supported Chen Zhifan with one hand and sheathed the Rotten Beast Sword. Then, he threw a punch at the sword dragon. “What?” Hong Feiyuan was taken aback. He could not comprehend why Ye Chen would make such a decision. Logically speaking, Ye Chen’s greatest advantage lay in the true god artifact in his grasp. Why would he put it away and throw a punch with his bare fist instead? This was nothing short of foolishness! Hong Feiyuan’s face contorted with confusion. He genuinely felt that something was amiss with this so-called genius. In the next moment, Ye Chen’s fist collided with the sword dragon… The dragon, which seemed to contain unfathomable power, shattered, collapsed, and dissipated almost instantaneously. Not a trace remained! “Hmm?” Hong Feiyuan rubbed his eyes, struggling to comprehend what had just occurred. Why had his sword dragon simply disappeared? He found himself confirming the situation two or three times before his face gradually turned pale. At that moment, his mind returned to reality, jolted by the shock. Ye Chen had broken his sword dragon with a mere casual punch? What kind of incredible power was this?
