Situ the Second's death came as suddenly as the previous third uncle.
Without any warning, there was no sound in just a breath. It was so fast that everyone around, whether it was Situ Household's cronies or passers-by secretly watching, froze in place. Even their gasping movements were slowed down by half a beat. Their minds went blank and they were completely unable to react.
In fact, everyone present knew very well that the young man standing in front of Cloud Crane Tower dared to kill even Situ the Third, so naturally he would not mind killing one more Situ the Second.
But they never expected that this young man would be so decisive.
There was not a word of nonsense, not a trace of hesitation, as if Situ the Second's life in his eyes was not even worth the dust on the roadside.
It felt like he casually crushed an ant crawling across his shoe without using his fingertips at all, and there wasn't even the slightest trace of emotion on his face. It was as if what he had just ended was not a human life, but just dusting off the body.
The most annoying thing is that from beginning to end, he didn't really "do anything".
He neither drew his sword nor waved his palm, he just let out a very light cold snort from his nasal cavity, the snort was as light as the wind blowing through the leaves.
But with this sound, Situ the Second died completely and exploded into a ball of blood mist, without even a chance to struggle.
This man looks handsome, stands tall and straight, and even has a bit of carelessness in his eyebrows. He is not at all like the vicious murderous maniac rumored to be.
But when you actually take action, it is bloodier than the most bloodthirsty gangster. Killing without blood is more terrifying than being splashed with blood.
On the other side, Young Master Situ's eyes were as bright as fire because of the arrival of his second uncle.
He knew very well the strength of his second uncle - he was more than a star and a half stronger than his third uncle. With his second uncle here, he would definitely have no problem dealing with that young man.
What's more, there was a thick black crowd behind the second uncle. The number of the Heavenly Severance Armys was at least several thousand. The cold light reflected by the armor covered half of the street. This power was far beyond what the thousand Heavenly Severance Armys before could compare to!
At that time, he was still clenching his fists and thinking in his mind that with his second uncle leading so many elite troops, he would definitely be able to crush that madman who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth into ashes.
What's the result?
Before his second uncle could take half a step forward, before his second uncle's aura could fully develop, he fell straight to the ground. His body had not even cooled down, and he made no sound.
Young Master Situ I just felt a cold air rushing from the soles of my feet to Tianling Gai. All the bones in my body were trembling. My teeth were clenching, but I couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
That thing called "fear", like a huge beast with its mouth wide open, came from all directions, wrapping his whole body, and even his breathing became heavy and stinging.
The situation of those thousands of the Heavenly Severance Army in the sky is not much better.
They are all veterans who have climbed out of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood. They have been tempered on the battlefield for many years. Their minds have long been as hard as steel, and they are used to life and death.
But when they saw Situ the Second fall down without warning, everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, the iron-blooded look on their faces was instantly replaced by shock, and the hands holding the weapons began to tremble.
Even their commander died so quickly, how long can they last?
Sure enough, before they could recover from the shock, the invisible pressure that killed Situ the Second instantly enveloped them all like a dark cloud.
The pressure was as cold as ice and as heavy as a mountain. The pressure made them unable to straighten their waists, and the skin under the armor stung.
It was just one step at a time, and the screams hadn't even had time to roll out of their throats.
The bodies of thousands of the Heavenly Severance Army were like lit fireworks, exploding one after another with "bang bang bang"!
There was no flash of sword or shadow, no collision of weapons, it just exploded out of thin air, splashing up clouds of scarlet blood mist.
The blood mist spread in the air, so red that it was dazzling, like the sunset being crushed and scattered in the sky. It was strangely beautiful, but it also had the smell of death everywhere. Even when the wind blew, it carried a strong smell of blood, making people on the ground choke and cover their mouths and noses.
"They're just a bunch of scumbags here to send off fireworks."
Youruo stood beside Ye Chen, raising his eyes to look at the blooming blood flowers in the sky, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.
The smile was very light, but it contained undisguised disdain.
Do these people think they can be tyrannical just by relying on large numbers of people?
Do you think the name Heavenly Severance Army can scare people?
Don't they know that in the face of absolute strength, more people will only increase casualties, and only as many people will die as they come?
On the ground, everyone in the city was dumbfounded and opened their mouths, but no one dared to say anything.
Thousands of the Heavenly Severance Army!
Just gone?
You know, Heavenly Severance Army is Situ Household's ace, and he is a well-known elite throughout the Central Continent. Situ Household doesn't have much support in total.
So many died at once, I'm afraid there are only a handful of the Heavenly Severance Army left among the Situ Household Lineage, right?
Good guy, this elite soldier who is usually invincible and invincible, making other forces fearful, today is like an animal waiting to be slaughtered. There is no room for resistance and he will die immediately.
Where are the elites here?
It looked more like a group of chickens being slaughtered by someone's neck, and they were unable to even struggle.
But no one would really think Heavenly Severance Army is weak.
How can an army that has made great achievements on the battlefield be weak?
Everyone knew in their hearts that it was not that Heavenly Severance Army was too weak, but that young man was simply too strong.
From the beginning of killing Situ the Third to now killing Situ the Second and killing thousands of the Heavenly Severance Army, he never really "does it" from the beginning to the end.
Killing Situ the Third was just a matter of raising a finger!
Killing Situ the Second and Heavenly Severance Army only gave a groan!
Basically, he can kill people easily just by moving his fingers and mouth. This strength is so terrifying that people don't even have the courage to look up to him.
After doing all this, Ye Chen slowly withdrew his gaze, and his eyes faintly glanced at Shopkeeper He who was staying where he was.
Shopkeeper He was so frightened that his legs were weak, and the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat. He felt like he was nailed to the ground, and he didn't even dare to move.
Ye Chen looked at him, his voice was so calm that there was no fluctuation, and he ordered, "What are you still doing? Prepare the best food and wine, and I will wait here for them to come."
Shopkeeper He It was like waking up from a dream, and he trembled suddenly. He nodded quickly, saying "yes, yes, yes" incessantly, even his waist almost bent to ninety degrees.
When he raised his eyes to look at Ye Chen, his eyes had lost half of the respect they had before, and were only filled with horror and fear.
Where is this young man?
This is clearly a living King of Hell who cannot be offended! Not to mention that he cannot offend Situ Household, now he would never dare to offend even the big boss in front of him.
Moreover, judging from what this boss meant, he planned to just sit in front of Cloud Crane Tower and wait for someone from Situ Household to come and die!
Shopkeeper He didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around quickly, and shouted to the stewards and servants behind him who were also pale with fright, "Hurry up and prepare the wine and food! It must be the best!!! If you dare to neglect this man, watch your skin carefully!"
"Oh! Good! Good!!!"
The stewards, as if they had just escaped from a nightmare, responded hurriedly, rolling and crawling to the backyard, their hands and feet moving faster than ever before.
They didn't dare to take a gamble. If they really neglected the big boss, not to mention losing their jobs, it would be a question of whether they could save their lives.
After a while, a table carved from a single piece of white jade was carried out and placed on the street in front of Cloud Crane Tower.
The table is as smooth as a mirror, without even a trace of grain, and it is worth a fortune at a glance.
Ye Chen was the first to sit down, followed by Youruo and Xie Purou.
Shopkeeper He personally brought the wine and food, holding the tray with both hands. His hands were still trembling slightly. When he poured the wine, the wine almost spilled.
This scene made everyone around them dumbfounded.
Whether they were standing on the street to watch the excitement in the open, or those who were hiding behind the windows of inns or at the entrance of alleyways to observe secretly, they were all dumbfounded and did not even dare to breathe.
Where have they seen such a scene?
He killed two core senior executives of Situ Household and wiped out thousands of the Heavenly Severance Army. Instead of running away, he dared to sit on the street drinking and eating meat with such arrogance, waiting for Situ Household people to come to his door?
"Hiss..."
An old man in gray clothes standing behind the crowd gasped, his voice full of surprise, "I have to say, they are really crazy! After killing so many Heavenly Severance Army, and two core high-level officials, they can still sit here drinking and eating meat so contentedly?! This is the first time I have seen such a scene in my entire life!"
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi beside him couldn't help but nod, looked at the three people in the middle of the street with complicated eyes, and sighed, "There is no way, who gave him such confidence? His strength is his greatest confidence!!! If it were anyone else, let alone the person who killed Situ Household, even if he offended Situ Household's collateral, he would have to run away all night, how could he dare to sit and wait like him?"
"You're absolutely right!"
A young man in white clenched his fists and answered in a low voice. His eyes were astonishingly bright, as if he had already imagined in his mind the scene of him becoming such a peerless master. "If I had his strength, I would be crazier than him! So what about the person who killed Situ Household? As long as the strength is strong enough, there is nothing anyone can do!"
"That's what he said, but he clearly wants to challenge the entire Situ Household!" Another person lowered his voice, with a bit of excitement and worry in his tone, "Do you think he can withstand the entire Situ Household with one person?! Situ Household is not a soft persimmon, he has a very strong background!"
"I find it difficult."
Someone immediately retorted, with some caution in their voice, "He is indeed very strong. No one denies this, but don't forget that the strongest Central Continent is Situ Household, and that is Ancestor Situ! He has lived for countless years, and his strength is unfathomable. Even the ancestors of other major families dare not provoke him easily!"
"Yes, yes, Ancestor Situ will definitely take action himself!"
The people next to me quickly echoed, their eyes full of anticipation, "We will be able to see what happens when the time comes! Let's see whether this young man is better, or whether Ancestor Situ's 'Central Continent No. 1' title is well-deserved!"
"Hmph, I do think that if Ancestor Situ takes action, this young man will definitely be left with nothing to eat!"
An old man who was partial to Situ Household curled his lips and said firmly, "Ancestor Situ has been so powerful that Central Continent has been strong for so many years. If you can't even deal with a young boy, wouldn't the title of 'number one master' become a joke?"
In the crowd, more and more people couldn't help but whisper, their voices very low, but they couldn't hide the excitement and curiosity in their voices.
They were all looking forward to seeing the battle between Ancestor Situ and this young man.
Both sides are top-notch warriors, one is a veteran warrior who has been famous for many years, and the other is a dark horse who emerged from nowhere. If they really fight, who knows how big a storm it will cause.
However, the vast majority of people still think that Ancestor Situ has a higher chance of winning.
After all, the title of "Central Continent's No. 1 Master" did not come out of thin air. It was earned after decades of fighting and killing countless powerful enemies.
Situ Household is a big tree, and there are many people who want to trouble Situ Household over the years. But if Ancestor Situ had a false reputation, Situ Household would have been wiped out long ago. How could it still have the status it has today?
But no matter what, everyone knows in their hearts that a shocking battle will definitely break out between this young man and Ancestor Situ! Who will win and who loses will naturally find out as long as they fight!
Just when Ye Chen and the three of them were sitting in the middle of the street, slowly eating vegetables and drinking wine, looking as calm as if the bloody smell around them had nothing to do with them, Situ Household's mansion had already exploded!
Just now, when the news came back that Situ the Third and a thousand Heavenly Severance Army were killed in the battle, the entire Situ Household was like a bomb being dropped, and there was a commotion. The clan elders gathered in the meeting hall to argue endlessly, and the younger generation was even more furious.
As a result, not long after the commotion subsided, another news came back.
Situ the Second led thousands of the Heavenly Severance Army to Cloud Crane Tower. Not only did they fail to capture the young man, but they were all killed together with his Heavenly Severance Army!
The two incidents before and after were less than half an hour apart, so there was not much time difference at all.
In the meeting hall, all the Situ Household clan members were frozen in place, their faces pale, and the air was filled with oppressive silence.
After a while, a clan elder spoke with a trembling voice, his tone full of disbelief and anger. "Who on earth has this strength? Can he kill so many of our Situ Household masters in such a short period of time?!"
No one could answer his question, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing and suppressed anger in the entire chamber.
They Situ Household have never been bullied to this extent, but today, various tragedies happened one after another. Are you trying to bring down the entire Situ Household?
"Everyone, follow me! I want to see who the leader of this clan is, who insists on opposing me, Situ Household, and becoming my life-and-death enemy, Situ Household?!"
