Chapter 2334 2308 At a Loss (Nine Updates)
Chapter 2334: Chapter 2308: At a Loss! (Nine Updates!) Chapter 2334: Chapter 2308: At a Loss! (Nine Updates!) Xu Sheng’s expression darkened. Even now, did Chen Zhifan dare to ignore him? Could it be that after he was ousted from the Profound Ascension Rankings by someone whose Star Aperture was deemed useless, everyone dared to treat him with such an attitude?
In the faint distance, he seemed to hear discussions and laughter from within the palace, coming from the other distinguished figures. The reason he had wanted to lure Ye Chen to the banquet was to reclaim his dignity in front of everyone, to trample Ye Chen beneath his feet, making Ye Chen the laughingstock, not himself!
But what about now? Along comes Chen Zhifan, turning the mockery towards himself once again? How could he endure it?
Xu Sheng roared furiously, “Die!”
With that exclamation, his aura surged wildly, and a lion’s roar emanated from behind him. A shadowy figure of an exotic beast shaped like a lion materialized, exuding an immensely powerful oppression!
This exotic beast was not an ordinary lion but a spiritual beast known as the Heavenly Roar Beast! The bloodline of the Xu family was not to be taken lightly!
As the Heavenly Roar Beast’s shadow emerged, Xu Sheng’s aura skyrocketed. Those who had been pointing and making jests at Xu Sheng all immediately shut their mouths.
No one dared to utter another word!
Xu Sheng took a deep breath and dashed towards Chen Zhifan, throwing a punch at the same time.
“Divine Roar Fist!”
This punch carried a strange vibration, emitting waves of sound. The moment the sound waves emerged, the ground within the palace and the walls were covered with cracks, and the wine cups made of precious crystal stones shattered instantly!
Simultaneously, the void around the fist was pulverized into dust!
This punch was truly terrifying to the extreme!
Seeing Xu Sheng’s attack, the expressions of most people present changed. This punch, if they were to take it themselves, they weren’t confident they could withstand it! And almost everyone present had a higher level of cultivation than Chen Zhifan!
If even they couldn’t withstand it, it was even less likely for Chen Zhifan!
At this moment, Chen Zhifan also opened his eyes, and with a great shout, he threw the iron sword in his hand towards Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng’s face revealed a disdainful expression. This piece of trash iron sword, before even reaching him, would be shattered by the sound of his fist, right?
Sure enough, the next moment, the iron sword disintegrated into a spray of iron dust!
However, before Xu Sheng could reveal a sneer, an invisible energy suddenly transformed into a sharp sword qi, slicing into Xu Sheng’s mind!
“AAAAAHHHHH!!!” Inside Xu Sheng’s Divine Soul Space, an intense tremor occurred, and he let out a piercing scream. His divine soul was injured!
That unimposing iron sword turned out to be a Soul Device!
Moreover, it was a Soul Device of extremely powerful might!
If not for the Soul Crystal guarding his mind, he might have been severely injured and fallen to the ground, right?
And his Divine Roar Fist, due to the divine soul’s injury, had lost much of its power!
But still, a small part of its remaining force still struck towards Chen Zhifan!
Chen Zhifan’s expression changed. He frantically circulated the spiritual energy within his body, activating an artifact given to him by Ge Qing!
Countless ancient runes surged out, forming a protective Light Shield in front of Chen Zhifan!
With a thunderous boom, the Light Shield shattered. Despite the protection of the artifact, Chen Zhifan was still blasted backwards, spraying blood from his mouth!
However, he managed to flip in mid-air and landed on the ground, half-kneeling.
At this moment, he was gasping for breath, and his vitality quickly fell away—a mere residual impact from a punch had seriously injured him!
But everyone present was shocked to the extreme!
Initially, the fact that Chen Zhifan had survived a blow from Xu Sheng was a miracle in itself, but now! Not only had Chen Zhifan lived, but he had also wounded Xu Sheng!
It was simply inconceivable!
However, that was as far as it would go.
By now, Xu Sheng had recovered. He tried to suppress his rage, pretending to be cool and collected, as if the injury he had just sustained had never happened.
He took steps toward Chen Zhifan with a trace of ferocity crossing his face, “Mr. Chen, you know, you could’ve just had your drink. Just now, I was merely joking with you, and you had to draw your sword wanting to fight me. And now? Now even if I wanted to let you off, it wouldn’t be possible!”
As he walked forward, gathering spiritual energy, ready to land a punch that would obliterate Chen Zhifan, a faint yet chilling and murderous male voice echoed throughout the palace.
“Did you do this?”
The next moment, a shadow flashed, and a man appeared beside Chen Zhifan.
Almost no one had seen how he had entered!
By then, Chen Zhifan was covered in blood, extremely pale with sweat streaming down his face, and his eyes began to lose focus—it was clear he had reached his limit.
Seeing Ye Chen appear, he managed a weak smile, “Ye Chen, I’m fine. Don’t kill him, or the consequences will be too severe…”
After Ye Chen had fed him a pill, he smiled bitterly, “Brother Chen, stop talking. If you keep it up, you might pass out, right? How can you say you’re fine in this condition?”
Chen Zhifan’s lips moved as though he wanted to say something, but the next moment, his eyes closed, and he truly fell unconscious.
Ye Chen supported Chen Zhifan’s body and gently laid him down on the ground. Standing up, he faced Xu Sheng, who was sizing him up with amusement, and coldly said, “I asked, did you do this?”
Xu Sheng laughed, “Brother Chen seems to have had a bit too much to drink, got a little carried away, and took a swing at me, haha, it’s nothing serious, all just a misunderstanding. Young Master Ye, why don’t you have a couple of drinks too?”
“Drink your mother.”
As soon as these words were out, the air inside the entire palace instantly turned icy cold!
Even Xu Sheng was somewhat dumbfounded. What did Ye Chen just say?
He hadn’t heard someone use such coarse language towards him in a long time within these high-class circles. He was somewhat slow to react!
The next moment, he exploded with rage!
Originally, he had wanted to mock and insult Ye Chen a bit more!
But now, Ye Chen was being so direct? Not giving any face at all!
“What did you say!” Xu Sheng bellowed, his fist technique surging once more!
But before he could finish, Ye Chen cursed again, “You want to lay your hands on me, right? Here’s your chance, do it! You like looking for reasons, excuses to strike at others, right? The Xu family is nothing but a dog, come on, do you want me to curse you a few more times, give you more reasons?”
On his way here, he had already learned about the situation from Song Rou.
And those elite young masters and ladies present were utterly stunned. When had they ever seen such a crude person?
Even if they intended to insult or trample on others, they would usually come up with some reasons to make their actions seem more justified, more reasonable. Someone like Ye Chen, who resorted to cursing straight off the bat, truly left them at a loss!
