Chapter 2182 I Am Not Afraid
Chapter 2182: I Am Not Afraid Chapter 2182: I Am Not Afraid Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Chen did not speak. He quietly supported Chen Zhifan allowing the powerful medicinal energy to wash over Chen Zhifan’s body, gradually easing his injuries. Ye Chen observed as Chen Zhifan’s complexion began to improve. He let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Brother Chen, what happened to you during this time? Can you tell me?” Chen Zhifan sensed that his strength had returned somewhat. He was able to stand without Ye Chen’s help. Standing beside Ye Chen, he nodded, but his eyes darkened as he looked at Hong Feiyuan, filled with intense hatred. Hong Feiyuan felt a shiver run down his spine as Chen Zhifan glared at him. Then, Chen Zhifan recounted everything. How he had accidentally leaked sensitive information, how he had been captured by Hong Feiyuan and imprisoned, and how he had endured torture. With each word Chen Zhifan spoke, Ye Chen’s expression grew colder. However, he realized he had stumbled upon something significant. Another Reincarnation Tablet! The Hong Family must have treated Chen Zhifan in this manner because of its importance. However, there were too many people present, so Ye Chen wisely chose not to ask further questions. He could save the questions for later. As for Hong Feiyuan, he was already trembling. He wanted to flee but felt too scared to move. Ye Chen had shattered his sword dragon with just a single punch! What he needed now was to buy time. Ye Chen had made a considerable scene earlier, and he believed that his father and the elders of the Hong Family would arrive soon. The elders of the Hong Family were regarded as the true experts of the family, holding significant power. Even as the young master, Hong Feiyuan could not command the elders. They answered only to the family head. By the time his father and the elders arrived, what would it matter how strong Ye Chen was? No matter how powerful he was, could he surpass those experts? Fear gripped his heart. He was terrified that before his father arrived, this strange cultivator would unleash an attack on him. His breathing quickened, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. His eyes darted around, and he forced himself to smile. He spoke to Ye Chen, “Young Master, what Brother Chen said is incorrect. There must be some misunderstanding…” Before he could finish, a figure appeared in front of him. Ye Chen, whose expression was as cold as ice, had appeared before him in an instant. Hong Feiyuan did not even see Ye Chen move. Then, with lightning speed, Ye Chen raised his hand and slapped Hong Feiyuan’s face with a thunderous sound. Hong Feiyuan’s body was violently knocked to the ground with a loud crash. The impact created a pit in the ground. Ye Chen’s powerful strike shattered Hong Feiyuan’s facial bones and skull. His once handsome face had been reduced to a grotesque mass of bloody flesh. Ye Chen looked down coldly at Hong Feiyuan at his feet. “Did I not tell you that you are truly bothersome?” he asked calmly. “Do you not understand? Hmm? Who told you to speak?” Ye Chen was, of course, ruthless toward those who harmed his friends. In Ye Chen’s eyes, a first-level Sealed Gate realm expert was entirely unworthy of his attention. Ye Chen gazed at Hong Feiyuan, who was writhing on the ground like a worm. “Answer me in three seconds,” he demanded. “Did you chop off Brother Chen’s hand?” Hong Feiyuan’s body shook, and he suddenly quivered. His previously foggy mind became clear in an instant. However, he looked at Ye Chen with terror and did not dare to respond. His eyes were filled with desperation. “One.” Ye Chen’s gaze remained cold, his expression blank. He ignored the pleading look in Hong Feiyuan’s eyes. “Two.” Under the weight of Ye Chen’s intense stare, Hong Feiyuan gathered all his strength and finally managed to utter three words. “It was me.” Hong Feiyuan lacked the courage to lie when facing those piercing eyes. At that moment, Ye Chen lifted one of his feet. Simultaneously, a loud shout came from above the hole where Ye Chen had entered. “B*stard, stop!” Ye Chen raised his head and looked up, spotting two figures hovering above the hole. Their powerful auras bore down on him. Nevertheless, Ye Chen’s gaze remained unwavering. He brought his foot down and stomped on Hong Feiyuan’s body. With a deafening bang, Hong Feiyuan let out a wretched cry that echoed throughout the entire Hong Family’s residence. The sound of cracking bones filled the air as Hong Feiyuan’s bones, meridians, and dantian were all shattered. Even if he survived, he would be no different from a cripple. Although the Hong Family had ancient roots, with its resources and strength, it would likely be a long and arduous process for Hong Feiyuan to fully recover. At that moment, Chen Zhifan frowned, his attention fixed on the two figures who had just entered the secret chamber. Ye Chen had effortlessly thwarted Hong Feiyuan’s attack and then used a fearsome technique to swiftly defeat him. Despite Chen Zhifan’s surprise, he could accept this. He knew that Ye Chen was an extraordinary figure, or else he would not have come to the Lingwu Continent. However, the two individuals now present in the secret chamber were the Hong Family’s head and an elder. They were both fifth-level Sealed Gate realm experts! Perhaps even Ye Chen would not be able to compete with such powerful figures. “Ye Chen, be careful. These two are not ordinary,” he whispered urgently. Two middle-aged men appeared in the secret chamber. One was dressed in a luxurious yellow robe adorned with a dragon pattern woven with divine golden threads. Upon closer inspection, this dragon seemed to soar majestically. He wielded a long sword that shimmered with gold and silver. Though he appeared middle-aged, his face was both gentle and rugged. His tiger-like eyes held an imposing presence without displaying anger, and he exuded an air of elegance. His handsome visage conveyed a sense of authority born from long-standing power. Looking at him, he bore a striking resemblance, about 60 to 70 percent, to Hong Feiyuan. This man was the head of the Hong Family. Next to him stood a middle-aged man with a long beard. He wore a simple Daoist robe, and his eyes glinted with intelligence. His face was pale, with prominent cheekbones, giving him a peculiar appearance. This Daoist resembled an immortal and carried the aura of an expert. However, for some reason, when his gaze shifted, it hinted at a tinge of malevolence. Hong Renjie, the head of the Hong Family, looked at his son Hong Feiyuan, who lay half-dead on the ground. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and a wave of killing intent surged from within him. Although Hong Feiyuan was not Hong Renjie’s only son, he was the one with the most promising potential among his children. He represented the future hope of the Hong Family. In fact, the family had already decided to invest all their resources into nurturing Hong Feiyuan to help him advance to a higher realm within the Sealed Gate realm. Hong Feiyuan was not only the young master of the family, but he was also the pride of the Hong Family. However, now all of that was ruined by Ye Chen. How could Hong Renjie accept such a situation? His Dao heart was on the verge of igniting with fury. Hong Renjie’s bloodshot eyes fixed on Ye Chen. Ye Chen turned and smiled at Chen Zhifan. “Brother Chen, do not worry. I am not afraid of these two.” Ye Chen had reached the eighth level of the Creation realm. After so long, most of his injuries had healed. If he unleashed his full power, he believed he could contend with two fifth-level Sealed Gate realm experts. Facing such opponents might be challenging, but he was ready.
