Chapter 2443: Who dares?!

Ye Chen's words left the ten people in the study room utterly shocked.

The leader turned around, saw Ye Chen appearing alone at the study door, and questioned him with a frown: "Who are you?"

"Me?" Ye Chen chuckled and said, "I am someone the eight of you combined cannot afford to provoke."

The man was stunned, then laughed contemptuously: "What a joke! You don't even fear biting your tongue before bragging. You think you can go against the eight of us all by yourself? Do you know who I am?"

Ye Chen nodded with a smile: "I know, aren't you just a Commander of the Cavalry Guards? So what if there are eight of you? What if there were eighty?"

The man did not expect Ye Chen to know his background. While surprised, his expression turned extremely gloomy, and he said coldly with murderous intent in his eyes: "Kid, you are truly courting death!"

Having said that, he immediately raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not dodge at all. A cold light suddenly flashed in his hand, followed by the crisp sound of the trigger being pulled, but strangely, no one heard a gunshot.

The leader himself was stunned. He instinctively looked down at the assault rifle in his hand, finding nothing abnormal, yet for some reason, it wouldn't fire.

He instinctively went to pull the bolt again, but to his surprise, as soon as he touched it, the entire upper cover of the assault rifle was pulled right off!

He was terrified, thinking the gun had malfunctioned.

At this moment, one of his subordinates acted as if he had seen a ghost, pointed at the gun in his hand, and stammered: "Com... Commander... your gun..."

The leader looked closely and was scared out of his wits!

He discovered, to his horror, that it wasn't just that the upper cover had been pulled off.

His gun had been sliced clean through from the center of the barrel!

Not only was the barrel cut into two halves, but even the bullet chambered in the breech had been sliced into a flat plane, as if in a textbook, revealing all its internal structures: the bullet head, the casing, the gunpowder, and the primer.

He was completely dumbfounded. He instinctively looked up at Ye Chen, his voice trembling as he asked: "You... how did you do that..."

Ye Chen revealed the Soul-Piercing Blade refined from giant clam shell in his hand and said with a smile: "Well, it relies on this."

The man frowned and blurted out: "A mere piece of shell, how could it possibly cut through an assault rifle made of steel!"

"You don't believe it?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, gave a playful smile, and said: "It seems the old saying is true; people really don't shed tears until they see the coffin!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he shouted sternly: "Since you don't believe it, let me let you try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Ye Chen's hand again.

This time, before the leader could react, he saw the other half of the assault rifle in his hand falling from mid-air.

Just as he was wondering how Ye Chen had done it, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder.

He instinctively looked at the source of the pain, only to discover that his right shoulder was left with a wound the size of a bowl!

The wound was perfectly flat, revealing the flesh, blood, tendons, and bones clearly, and a large amount of blood was spurting out!

His brain spun with dizziness. He looked down at the ground again, only to discover that what had fallen wasn't just the other half of the assault rifle, but the half of the rifle along with his entire right arm!

"Ah!!"

The excruciating pain nearly caused him to collapse. He looked at Ye Chen as if he were looking at a ghost.

After about three seconds of extreme terror, he suddenly shouted: "Quick! Kill him! Kill him!!"

The other seven men also snapped back to reality, instinctively wanting to raise their guns and fire.

Ye Chen swept his gaze across them with a sharp look, his murderous aura suddenly erupting, and he shouted loudly: "Who dares!"

This shout scared the seven men out of their wits. The assault rifles in their hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they were powerless to raise them!

The leader was now in total despair. He collapsed and scolded angrily: "You bunch of cowards! Do you think he will let you go just because of this?!"

The crowd was too scared to speak.

Because they all knew that if Ye Chen could slice the Commander's assault rifle and arm, he could slice their heads off too.

Therefore, to avoid the tragic fate of being decapitated, no one dared to risk pointing their guns at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at the seven men and scolded coldly: "Put your guns down!"

Hearing this, the seven men simultaneously threw their guns away, creating a clattering pile on the floor.

The leader was now in complete despair. He knew that once these seven men surrendered their guns, he had no chance of a comeback.

He looked at the seven men in despair and said: "You bunch of cowards, don't forget, even if you survive today, once the seven days are up, if you don't get the antidote, you will still explode and die!"

Ye Chen sneered: "You Cavalry Guards, do you also have to take a deadly poison regularly like the dead soldiers?"

The leader looked at Ye Chen with shock in his eyes.

He didn't know how Ye Chen could see the poison hidden in his body.

Ye Chen ignored his shock and continued to mock: "You and those dead soldiers are actually no different; you are all donkeys pulling the millstone for the Lord. The only thing that makes you stronger than the dead soldiers is that you don't have to be blindfolded like them."

At this point, Ye Chen suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you or your ancestors must have climbed up from the ranks of the dead soldiers, right?"

"Because of your more desperate performance, the Lord gave you a ladder to climb, gave you the title of Cavalry Guard, and allowed you to take off the black blindfold. You or your ancestors were deeply moved and encouraged, thinking you had achieved a class leap, but in reality, you are still strictly controlled by this organization. You have no freedom other than executing the tasks they give you. You can only continue to work desperately, striving for the next class leap, right?"

"Let me guess, perhaps there is something called a 'Guide' above you Cavalry Guards. By then, you might have the opportunity to obtain a real-world identity and be arranged to live in society, helping the organization complete deep-level layouts in various regions and fields, right?"

After spending some time with Li Yalin, Ye Chen's logical analysis ability had improved significantly.

Before tonight, he only knew the operational mode of the dead soldiers like Wu death date.

But Wu death date had said that the only ways for those dead soldiers living in darkness to escape their fate were to die or to climb up.

No shrewd manager would choose a flat management style; they would definitely plan a long ladder for those who worked for them, letting them climb up with gritted teeth.

So, even the lowest-level dead soldiers must have an upward channel.

Tonight, he heard the new title 'Cavalry Guard' from their conversation. Combining the fact that their main task was also to risk their lives, and that they also had deadly poison in their bodies and teeth, he could infer that they weren't much better than the dead soldiers.

As for the word 'Guide', Ye Chen had also heard it from Wu death date.

Although he wasn't sure if his aunt-in-law who committed suicide by taking poison was a Guide, logically, a Guide should live in the real world.

For example, the Guide of this mysterious organization in New York must live somewhere in New York, have a legitimate identity, and possess relatively strong local resources.
