The System Was Cried Stupid by Ye Chen

Just like that, a strange man.

Carrying a sleeping idiot of a woman on his back.

Entered a palace.

But Ye Chen's worries soon appeared as well. That group of natives had been waiting here for quite some time.

Now that Ye Chen had appeared, he couldn't blame them anymore.

Ye Chen looked around. From the moment he entered the palace, he had sensed that something was wrong.

But he was looking for...

A place with soil. Wood Release was more practical, after all.

Besides, Ye Chen was still carrying Lan Lengshuang on his back.

Using a sword was simply too inconvenient, and he had never learned swordsmanship.

Forget Bankai—he couldn't even use Shikai...

Ye Chen carefully observed the surrounding environment. After entering the enormous palace,

Ye Chen couldn't help rolling his eyes.

The ice palace was hundreds of meters tall, yet inside, it was as spacious as a basketball court.

Only, a huge Spirit Stone floated in the center of the palace.

Ye Chen could tell at a glance that this Spirit Stone was ice-aligned. Although it wasn't as large as Westwind Lion King's Spirit Stone,

it seemed to be even purer.

Ye Chen was stunned. "This... the Lan Family really struck it rich!"

Just then, several cheers came from above!

Ye Chen abruptly looked up.

"I've got you!" A burly man wearing white bear hide leaped down.

A spiked club instantly smashed toward Ye Chen's head.

Ye Chen instinctively tried to dodge, but Lan Lengshuang was still on his back.

His brows furrowed slightly as he raised Ryūjin Jakka and forcibly took the blow.

A massive rumble came from beneath Ye Chen's feet.

The incredibly solid glacier instantly cracked in several places.

"Is that all the strength you have?" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and grinned.

But the next second, Ye Chen could no longer smile.

Two more natives emerged from behind the burly man, swinging two axes at Ye Chen's crown.

Ye Chen was now firmly pinned down by the burly man's attack, completely unable to fight back.

"You're so stupid. Why do I have to teach you every time? Could anything from this system possibly be trash? Just use Shikai, will you? Please stop being so stupid, okay? I'm changing protagonists!"

"Stop nagging! What's the Shikai release command?!" Ye Chen roared, instantly startling the three natives before him and Lan Lengshuang behind him awake.

"Don't give him a chance. Chop off his head!" A-Da sensed a wave of unease and hurriedly shouted.

"All Things in Creation, All Become Ashes, Ryūjin Jakka!" the system's voice rang out in Ye Chen's mind.

"Ahhh!!! I'm going to die!!! Daddy!!!"

Lan Lengshuang had just opened her eyes and hadn't recovered yet when she saw two axes chopping toward Ye Chen and herself.

She was instantly terrified.

Ye Chen was frantic at this moment, muttering,

"All Things in Creation, All Become Ashes!"

"Ye Chen, stop shouting! We're going to die!!!" Lan Lengshuang was about to go crazy.

"Ryūjin Jakka!!!"

The instant Ye Chen finished shouting, a wave of heat surged toward him.

The surrounding chill instantly vanished.

A layer of flame covered Ryūjin Jakka.

"What is this?!" When A-Da saw flames surging over, he instantly felt terrible.

Taking advantage of the instant his opponent was distracted, Ye Chen seized this critical moment.

"City Scorched by Flames!" There was no time to use any other technique!

"Die!!!"

At that instant, the axes of the two natives were already extremely close to Ye Chen's head!

Just then, Ryūjin Jakka erupted with a wave of scorching air.

The scorching air instantly surrounded the native called A-Da.

The other two came into contact with the flames and directly turned into two charred corpses.

"Xiao Er, Old Three!" A-Da roared furiously, yet he didn't dare touch the flames.

"What did you do to them?!"

Ye Chen gasped heavily, looking at A-Da before him with an utterly relaxed expression.

At this moment, stars were practically shining in Lan Lengshuang's eyes.

"Ye Chen... you're so cool..."

Ye Chen had naturally heard her, and immediately became speechless.

"You can speak Great Xia's language?"

The native didn't answer. He simply sat down across the flames.

"With your Awakened Sixth Realm strength, these flames won't last long. When they disappear, I'll still be able to kill you." A-Da looked ferocious as he stared at Ye Chen like he was already a dead man.

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. A-Da was right; he couldn't hold out much longer.

Ye Chen wasn't sure whether his immortal-art energy could power Ryūjin Jakka.

If it couldn't, then he would have no choice but to fight this man with his bare body.

With that thought, Ye Chen stopped wasting time.

"Big Niece, go take that Ice Spirit Stone. That should be our greatest gain this time."

Ye Chen untied the cloth strip around his body and lowered Lan Lengshuang to the ground.

Lan Lengshuang nodded vigorously and ran toward the Ice Spirit Stone.

Just then, Yan Feng, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared.

"Well, well, that's a huge Ice Spirit Stone. Looks like it could be worth tens of billions~"

The greed in Yan Feng's eyes was completely undisguised.

"Yan Feng, you still dare to come?" Ye Chen turned to look at Yan Feng, then nodded at Lan Lengshuang.

Lan Lengshuang said nothing and continued running toward the Ice Spirit Stone.

The spiritual power in Ye Chen's body was nearly depleted, but he still had immortal arts. At worst, he would fight with his fists!

Although City Scorched by Flames was a Shikai technique, its flames reached six thousand degrees. It burned through spiritual power far too quickly.

Seeing Lan Lengshuang run toward the Ice Spirit Stone, Yan Feng didn't care in the slightest. After all, once Ye Chen died, both the treasure and Lan Lengshuang would certainly belong to him.

However, when he saw Ye Chen's wretched state, Yan Feng immediately felt delighted. "I should be thanking you for killing these natives for me~"

"But I have to say, I'm truly pleasantly surprised that you possess such powerful flames~"

Ye Chen's expression was extremely gloomy.

Behind Ye Chen, A-Da remained silent, calculating inwardly. Once the flames disappeared, it would be the death knell for all three of them.

"Ye Chen, how about this? Kneel and kowtow to me, and I'll spare your life. What do you say?"

"Heh heh, Yan Feng, if you kowtow to me right now, I'll spare your life too. How about it?" Ye Chen refused to back down and shot back.

"Hmm? Looks like you've already made your choice." Yan Feng looked at Ye Chen mockingly.

He took a knuckle-duster from his storage ring and put it on his right hand.

Ye Chen stared at the knuckle-duster, somewhat unable to make up his mind.

This should be the weapon said to amplify spiritual power...

"This is my first time using this thing. Ye Chen, you should feel honored! You'll die at my hands!"

Yan Feng grinned viciously.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, sheathed Ryūjin Jakka, and hung it at his waist.

"Hmm? Giving up?" Seeing Ye Chen's appearance, Yan Feng thought he had abandoned all resistance.

Ye Chen straightened his body and clasped his hands together.

"I have no choice..."

Lan Lengshuang looked back, thinking Ye Chen had truly given up.

"Ye Chen!"
