Chapter 2165: Hating Threats

"Even if we die, we won't let you succeed!"

Zhao Ming Cheng barked coldly.

"Die?"

"You wish! Did I agree?"

"The person I'm after, I haven't had enough fun with yet; how could I let you die! I will make you watch, eyes wide open, as your Zhao family members die miserably before you, and you are powerless! Hahaha…"

Chen Tao laughed shamelessly.

The Zhao family members all frowned, but none of them backed down.

"Stop wasting words with this beast, kill him!"

Zhao Ming Cheng swung his long spear, and with the Zhao family members, prepared to charge forward.

"Kill!"

The Zhao disciples shouted, all rushing to attack Chen Tao.

"Contain Zhao Ming Cheng, kill all the Zhao family!"

Chen Tao also gave orders to the Martial Cultivators he brought.

Immediately, a Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivator used oppressive pressure to suppress Zhao Ming Cheng, rendering them immobile.

The other Martial Cultivators also rushed toward the Zhao disciples.

The Zhao disciples generally had far lower strength than these people; once they made a move, they would only have the fate of being slaughtered.

"Attack!"

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered those nearby to act.

The clone instantly became invisible and lunged at Chen Tao, while he drew the Item and shot at the Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivator controlling Zhao Ming Cheng.

The sudden turn of events left both sides greatly surprised, not knowing the origins of Ye Liuyun and his few companions.

They were about to clash, but all stopped simultaneously.

Yet Ye Liuyun shot an arrow that killed that Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivator, and at the same time, Chen Tao was seized by the clone's grip on his neck and dragged to Ye Liuyun's front.

"Who are you, daring to strike at us?"

"Release our young master quickly, or else…"

The remaining three Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators were about to threaten Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun sneered at them, lifted his foot and kicked directly at Chen Tao, shattering Chen Tao's Golden Core with a single kick.

"Ugh…"

Chen Tao tried to howl, but Ye Liuyun's grip on his neck silenced him.

He rolled his eyes white and immediately fainted to death.

"You…" The Martial Cultivators were also stunned, not expecting Ye Liuyun to be so ruthless, actually daring to strike Chen Tao.

"I hate threats the most! Try threatening me again, and see whether I dare to crush his head!"

Ye Liuyun said coldly.

The clone at this moment had already thrown the stunned Chen Tao onto the ground.

Ye Liuyun then stepped onto Chen Tao's head with a foot.

"Don't act! If you have something to say, speak properly!"

The Martial Cultivators immediately dared not act further.

If Chen Tao died, they wouldn't be able to report back, and they'd probably meet a fate worse than Chen Tao's death.

"All of you stand still, or you'll be held responsible for his death!"

Seeing that these people truly feared Chen Tao being stepped on to death, Ye Liuyun immediately threatened them.

Indeed, they all remained in place, daring not to move.

Ye Liuyun and the clone instantly released their Soul, each planting a Slave Seal on the three Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators.

On the Souls of these three, there is a Master-Servant Contract that Chen Bà Tiān signed with them.

At this moment, Chen Bà Tiān also learned the situation here, and immediately dispatched Martial Cultivators to rush here as reinforcement.

However, for them to arrive here would still be a matter of several days later.

Chen Bà Tiān hadn't expected that the four Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators also failed to protect his son.

It seems this time they met a strong opponent.

So he dispatched ten Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators at once, speeding toward Wu Xiang City.

On Ye Liuyun's side, after controlling those three Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators, he let Liu Yang, Yuan Bin and others act against the other Martial Cultivators that Chen Tao had brought.

Zhao Ming Cheng also seized the chance, leading Zhao disciples to encircle and suppress these people.

Now it's these people's turn to be at a disadvantage.

The Zhao family also killed with satisfaction, counting as avenging the Clan Chief.

After the battle ended, Zhao Ming Cheng came over to thank Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you, young master, for stepping in to save me! How should I address you?"

Ye Liuyun smiled without answering, only having the clone release a Soul that surged into Zhao Ming Cheng's Sea of Consciousness.

"Is that you?"

"Why did you come?"

"I heard Zhongxing Wangchao wants to deal with you!"

Zhao Ming Cheng was initially startled, but upon seeing Ye Liuyun, immediately became delighted again.

They also promptly reminded Ye Liuyun that Zhongxing Wangchao intends to go after him, indicating they have been keeping tabs on Ye Liuyun's related news.

"That's why I disguised myself! Don't let my identity slip!"

Ye Liuyun also gave a brief reminder, then immediately withdrew from Zhao Ming Cheng's Sea of Consciousness.

Zhao Ming Cheng sized up Ye Liuyun a bit, and covertly sent him a Transmission Voice: "Your Disguise Technique is truly impressive; I can't see any flaw!"

"Otherwise, how could you have evaded the Zhongxing Wangchao's investigation!"

Ye Liuyun gave a quick reply.

"What about them?"

Zhao Ming Cheng looked at the Martial Cultivators beside Ye Liuyun and asked Ye Liuyun again.

"They're all my people!"

Ye Liuyun gave them a brief introduction.

"Everyone, come in and sit; don't chat outside!"

Zhao Ming Cheng also invited Ye Liuyun and the others into the Zhao family, letting the Zhao family disciples clean the battlefield.

Chen Tao was taken by Ye Liuyun into the Space World.

Keeping him might still allow us to threaten Chen Bà Tiān, making him hesitate.

Ye Liuyun and the others politely paid their respects to the Zhao Clan Chief first, then followed Zhao Ming Cheng into the main hall to sit.

"I'm truly sorry that you got caught up in this!"

Zhao Ming Cheng said to Ye Liuyun.

"You can't be blamed for this! It's a sudden disaster; no one wants it to happen!"

Ye Liuyun replied courteously.

"Did you come specifically to Wuxiang City?"

Zhao Ming Cheng asked Ye Liuyun, a faint blush spreading on their face.

"Just passing through! I just came from Linyuan City.

People of the Zhongxing Wangchao are hunting me everywhere there.

All Teleportation Arrays have been sealed, so I can't return; I thought of heading to the Boundless Sea and stopped by to see you! I didn't expect to run into your trouble at the right moment!"

Ye Liuyun said honestly.

"Oh!"

Zhao Ming Cheng seemed a bit disappointed.

But they still said, "You saved me again! I don't even know how to repay the debt I owe you!"

"Don't mention it; we're friends, helping each other is only natural!"

Ye Liuyun, not paying much attention, simply asked Zhao Ming Cheng, "What are your plans next?

Chen Bà Tiān is unlikely to give up! The Zhao family's strength can't withstand their attack!"

"Just friends?"

At this moment Zhao Ming Cheng was only thinking about Ye Liuyun's words and didn't really mind the rest.

Ye Liuyun saw them zoning out, called out, and brought them back to attention.

"Ah?

Oh! Actually I have no real plan; at worst it's just death!"

Zhao Ming Cheng said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun analyzed for them, "In my view, the Zhao family can't escape this calamity! Chen Bà Tiān is a member of the dynasty; even if I stay to help you kill him, the dynasty will send more people.

Your real opponent is the Zhongxing Wangchao.

Thus if the Zhao family tries to hold out to the death, its fate is destined to be annihilation."

Zhao Ming Cheng also nodded, "I know that outcome! For those who want to leave, I've already allocated resources so they could go.

The remaining people would rather die than leave the Zhao family.

So I'm prepared to fight alongside them until the very end."
