Go All Out

He came out now, wasn't he just afraid of these bandits targeting his sister?

He had a clear understanding of these bandits' character from Second Master Yang and Fourth Master Yang earlier. If his sister fought with these people, wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den? If his sister were truly to be humiliated for his sake, what would be the point of him being reborn here?

Yang Jinhe said in a deep voice, "Second Elder, Fourth Elder, why did you let Yang Chen come over?"

What were these two thinking? Didn't they know how important Yang Chen was to the Yang Family right now? These bandits had specifically asked for Yang Chen earlier, and they hadn't kept a good eye on him, allowing Yang Chen to appear here!

"Clan Head, it is our dereliction of duty!" Fourth Master and Second Master lamented endlessly.

The Third Master sized up Yang Chen carefully, a sinister smile appearing on his ferocious face. "You are Yang Chen?"

"Indeed, I am," Yang Chen replied calmly and composedly. "Since the Third Master wishes for me to have a spar with Xu Hu, how could Yang Chen dampen others' spirits? Since the Third Master says there will be a spar, then let's have one."

"Treasure, what are you doing?" Yang Caidie's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety.

"Sister, you go down first," Yang Chen instructed.

"Me?" Yang Caidie was stunned.

"Go down!" Yang Chen roared.

Yang Caidie was startled by Yang Chen's aura. Her delicate body trembled, and she said somewhat helplessly, "Oh... oh."

Traditionally, Yang Chen always listened to her. It felt strange for Yang Chen to suddenly be so assertive today, and she felt her body involuntarily take a step back. By the time she reacted, wanting to step forward to stop Yang Chen, he was already like an arrow nocked and ready to fly.

The Third Master gave Yang Chen a deep look. "Good, good, good. To possess such demeanor at such a young age is truly not easy."

He praised him on the surface, but killing intent had already formed in his heart.

After all, Yang Chen could remain so calm and composed in the face of his aura. If this child were given time to develop, who knew how far he might advance in the future. That time would definitely not be long, and he absolutely would not allow anyone who could threaten the gang to appear.

Seeing Yang Chen appear, Yang Jinhe realized the situation was no longer within his control. He frowned and said, "Yang Chen, what confidence do you have facing Xu Hu?"

"I'm not too sure either," Yang Chen replied with a wry smile.

He knew where his weaknesses lay.

That was, he lacked practical combat experience too much.

He was confident he could suppress Xu Hu using martial skills, but in terms of combat experience, Yang Chen knew he would definitely suffer. Therefore, it was difficult for him to predict the outcome of the match.

Yang Jinhe took a deep breath. "Yang Chen, you must be careful when you face Xu Hu. If you truly find an opportunity, don't hold back."

Although he said this, his heart was filled with sorrow.

Xu Hu was at the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm.

And Yang Chen? He was only at the peak of the fourth level of the Body Refining Realm.

Although it was only a slight difference, it was a watershed distinction.

Coupled with the difference in experience, could he not gauge Yang Chen's chances of winning? Saying this was merely holding onto a sliver of hope.

However, what could he do? If Yang Chen hadn't appeared, he wouldn't believe the Third Master could have been so aggressive in demanding Yang Chen. But now that Yang Chen had appeared, it was impossible for him to tell Yang Chen to retreat.

"Clan Head, I will," Yang Chen agreed, and then his gaze turned cold as he focused on Xu Hu.

Xu Hu's lips curled as he scrutinized Yang Chen, as if aiming at an interesting prey.

The Third Master moved his lips slightly and said softly to Xu Hu, "Go. If possible, kill this brat. If not, cripple him."

"Don't worry, Third Master," Xu Hu said, twisting his neck and walking towards the center of the open battleground.

"Miss, Young... Young Master, can he win?" Gu Mingyue's delicate face had already turned pale from the tragic sight of Yang Wu earlier. She was afraid that her young master's outcome might be the same as Yang Wu's, and she couldn't help but ask Yang Caidie.

Yang Caidie clenched her fists tightly, biting her lips. For the first time, she felt that many things were far beyond her capabilities.

After her parents left, she had sworn that even if she died, she would protect her younger brother and not let him suffer any grievances.

But now, she stood weakly behind, allowing her younger brother to fight for his life with someone else.

Yes, fighting Xu Hu was no different than fighting for one's life.

Had her younger brother ever killed anyone?

And Xu Hu had taken countless lives under his command. Wasn't her younger brother fighting someone, but clearly confronting a jackal, tiger, and leopard?

"Caidie, your brother he..."

"Caidie."

Yang Caidie's eyes were red, and she remained silent. But she was prepared. Anyone who dared to harm her brother, causing her lineage to end, she would make them pay with their lives. Anyway, with Yang Chen dead, her lineage would be completely without heirs, so what meaning was there in her living or not?

"Begin," Yang Jinhe suddenly shouted sternly.

Xu Hu was very experienced. The moment Yang Jinhe's words fell, he attacked instantly.

The timing Xu Hu chose was extremely precise. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to react.

However, Yang Wu had already suffered such a loss once. How could Yang Chen let the opponent gain an advantage again?

How could the same trick succeed twice?

As soon as Xu Hu made his move, he displayed the strength of the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm. His arm strength was incredibly powerful, and accompanied by a whistling fist wind, he first tentatively threw a punch towards Yang Chen.

"Bang!"

Yang Chen was not to be outdone. He displayed the power of the Ba Yun Fist, bending his elbow, and his fist collided with Xu Hu's.

The two fists collided, sending sand and dirt flying from the ground. When Yang Chen and Xu Hu's fists met, they were not damaged in the slightest. On the contrary, it curbed Xu Hu's subsequent series of attacks. It could be said that from the very first exchange, Yang Chen displayed a strength level equal to Xu Hu's.

Such strength truly startled everyone present.

What did being evenly matched represent?

"Body Refining Realm Fifth Level!"

"Yang Chen is also Body Refining Realm Fifth Level!"

"I didn't expect this!"

No one could have foreseen it.

During the initial preliminary assessment, the strength Yang Chen displayed was merely Body Refining Realm Fourth Level Peak.

Who could have imagined that Yang Chen had actually entered Body Refining Realm Fifth Level?

Yes, in the spar just now, if Yang Chen had not reached the level of Body Refining Realm Fifth Level, it would have been difficult for him to contend head-on with Xu Hu without being at a disadvantage. Everyone had clearly seen the collision just now. Yang Chen had not retreated an inch, making it clear that Yang Chen's martial cultivation had actually also reached Body Refining Realm Fifth Level.

The entire audience was shocked.

It wasn't just the Third Master; even Yang Jinhe was stunned.
