Chapter 155: Esteemed Founder's Demise

Nobody expected Ye Chen to react this way.

Generally speaking, when a strong person steps in, both sides only need to sit down and negotiate, and major issues become minor, minor issues are resolved.

However, Ye Chen seemed to have no intention of making major issues minor or settling minor ones.

It seemed everyone had forgotten that Ye Chen and the Gu Sun Family still had a heavenly oath.

"Insolent brat!"

A furious voice echoed in everyone's ears, and the next moment, an aged figure appeared before the crowd.

As this figure appeared, everyone present was shocked.

"Look quickly, isn't that Gu Sun Feng? He's still alive after tens of thousands of years! Everyone thought he had already achieved the Dao, but who would have thought he's still alive."

"It is said he was already about to reach the eighth layer of the Great Vehicle, but after tens of thousands of years, who knows what his strength is now."

"When he disappeared from mortal sight, he was already a Great Vehicle Eighth Layer Stone Ridge; after ten thousand years, no matter how you say it, he could be a Great Vehicle Tenth Layer, his power unfathomable."

……

The crowd's voices sounded softly, and without exception they all reached Gu Sun Feng's ears; upon hearing these shocking and flattering words, his face showed an expression of extreme pleasure.

The emotion provoked by Ye Chen's earlier scolding of him seemed to have dissipated at this moment.

"Ye Chen, if I have a way to nullify this heavenly oath, would you be willing to let it go?"

Gu Sun Feng's words were spoken plainly, yet after he finished this sentence, everyone present showed a shocked expression.

"Nullify the heavenly oath—how is that possible?"

"Yes! The heavenly oath cannot be nullified; this is almost universally accepted."

"No, there is a possibility: if Gu Sun Feng is a Quasi-Emperor, then it's not impossible, but the cost would be great."

Upon saying this, everyone felt numb; today they have encountered too many shocking and incomprehensible things.

At this moment, Gu Sun Feng's face again showed an expression of supreme enjoyment, as if he greatly liked this moment.

"I refuse."

Ye Chen's voice sounded indifferent.

At the moment his words fell, Yun Zhan and Gu Lan in the corner both showed tense expressions.

Those people earlier had said that Gu Sun Feng was very likely already a Quasi-Emperor, and if that were true, Ye Chen would have almost no chance of victory.

"What should we do, Master Xuan? If this continues, we'll soon have no room for maneuver."

And Gu Lan, likewise full of worry, looked at Ye Chen and Yun Yun; he knows this, but... a Quasi-Emperor... even if the Yun Family expended all its strength, they would be no more than duckweed and ants.

However, up until now Ye Chen's expression has not changed at all, as if everything is under his control.

"Ye Chen, run away; I believe escaping this place is no problem for your strength, I don't deserve you doing this."

Yun Yun's voice, slightly choked with sobs, sounded in Ye Chen's ear.

But Ye Chen did not immediately reply to Yun Yun's words; instead he held her hand, unconsciously gripping it a little tighter.

"You are worthy; you forgot, I am your guardian of the Dao."

"Back on Earth, you helped me so much; you want me to leave now—wouldn't that make me an ungrateful traitor?"

Ye Chen spoke gently; Yun Yun looked at him, eyes full of tears, "Ye Chen..."

Yun Yun softly called his name, and he merely smiled; behind him and Yun Yun, the Taiji Creation Diagram slowly emerged.

As the Taiji Creation Diagram appeared, everyone felt only an extremely profound and irresistible power continually washing over their bodies.

"Today, anyone who came to help the Gu Sun Family cannot escape."

"Six Paths Reincarnation!"

Ye Chen's indifferent voice fell, and the gate symbolizing Six Paths Reincarnation appeared in the six directions of the Gu Sun Family.

"Ye Chen, you dare!"

Gu Sun Feng roared loudly, but it was already too late.

Ye Chen unleashed the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder; in an instant, violent thunder surged into the Esteemed Founder's body, almost instantly taking half his life.

Ye Chen ignored Gu Sun Feng, turned his head to look at Yun Yun, and gently said, "Wait for me here; this will all be over soon."

Having said that, a paper figure slowly drifted out, and then that paper figure transformed into his likeness, standing beside them.

If one feels carefully, one can sense that this tiny paper figure actually possesses Great Vehicle cultivation!

"Today, I will end all of this!"

Ye Chen finished speaking, took a step forward, and instantly the Esteemed Founder bled all over, collapsing to the ground; he lay there, struggling to rise, but under Ye Chen's mighty aura he could not stand.

"No, Ye Chen, you cannot kill me."

The Esteemed Founder spoke fearfully; he could not lift his head, but if he did, Ye Chen would see his eyes full of fear.

Ye Chen heard the Esteemed Founder's words, gave a cold snort, felt no pity whatsoever, and activated the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder again.

However, the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder failed to hit the Esteemed Founder successfully, because Gu Sun Feng intervened.

Gu Sun Feng stood before the Venerable Emperor, coldly gazing at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you probably don't know, I am a Quasi-Emperor!"

Having spoken, Gu Sun Feng released an immensely powerful aura from his body; in an instant, everyone was pressed to the ground by this mighty aura.

At this moment in the Gu Sun Family, only Ye Chen, his paper figure, and Yun Yun remained; Gu Sun Feng was still standing, while everyone else either half-knelt or lay on the ground, with no one standing normally.

"What does it matter if he's a Quasi-Emperor? Today I will slay an emperor!"

At the instant Ye Chen's voice fell, the power of the Three Layers Extreme Boundary also erupted explosively; at the moment this Three Layers Extreme Boundary power burst forth, his aura even faintly surpassed that of Gu Sun Feng.

When Gu Sun Feng sensed that powerful aura on Ye Chen, a flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes.

"How is this possible!?"

"What kind of power is this!?"

No one has ever sensed the power of the Three Layers Extreme Boundary, so they also do not know what power is erupting from Ye Chen at this moment.

If it were two layers of the Extreme Boundary, they would understand, but Ye Chen, is three layers of the Extreme Boundary!

"Today, I will kill Esteemed Founder! I will make your Gu Sun Family perish!"

Suddenly, powerful energy burst forth, and Ye Chen and Gu Sun Feng exchanged a palm strike.

Boom!

Violent energy surged through the Gu Sun Family; Gu Sun Feng was blown away by Ye Chen's palm, while Ye Chen remained standing in place.

At this moment, everyone who witnessed this was shocked.

A Quasi-Emperor……was driven back!

Gu Sun Feng looked at Ye Chen with utter disbelief; a Mahayana and a Quasi-Emperor exchanged palms, and the Quasi-Emperor was actually driven back!

In people's understanding, this is almost impossible.

And Esteemed Founder, lying on the ground, clearly felt all of this.

His gaze had long been replaced by fear.

"No, Ye Chen, Father, you are my father; I only beg you not to kill me."

Esteemed Founder had already cried out 'Father' in fear, but it was of no use.

"I said it before: today I will surely kill you!"

As Ye Chen's words fell, the power of the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder invaded Esteemed Founder's body, and violent thunderous power roamed within him.

"No!"

Bang——

Esteemed Founder's body turned into a blood mist, while Ye Chen remained expressionless from start to finish, without the slightest change.
