Slap!

Slap!

Seeing Tie Hu and Tong Bao madly pouncing towards Ye Guichen, Ye Guichen merely waved his hand casually, as if shooing away mosquitoes, waving his hand twice.

The next second.

Tie Hu and Tong Bao, both second-rate peak experts, were sent flying.

As they were sent flying, the sound of their bones fracturing could be heard.

Soon, they both crashed more than ten meters away, fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving entirely, losing all signs of life.

Instant kill!

Boom!

The entire place fell into a deathly silence.

Situ Yufeng was even more stunned, his breath caught in his throat.

He knew very well the skill level of Tie Hu and Tong Bao. They had been with him for over a decade and had almost never failed. Now, they were slapped to death by Ye Guichen just like that?

How terrifying is this Ye person?

Mai Lang was utterly shocked as well.

He knew Ye Guichen was strong, but he never imagined Ye Guichen could be this powerful.

This guy isn't human, is he?

Now Mai Lang was even starting to doubt whether even his father, Ning Anbang, could handle Ye Guichen if he came in person.

"You, you..." Situ Yufeng's face turned blue and purple, and the arrogant words he had spoken earlier were stuck in his throat, unable to come out or go down.

Ning Anbang's face also looked extremely grim.

Ye Guichen's strength far exceeded his expectations.

He had previously thought Ye Guichen was coming to his death, but now he realized, Ye Guichen might actually be here to take the lives of the Ning Family?

For a moment, Ning Anbang was also scared.

"Ha ha, interesting, young man, very interesting!"

Suddenly, a deep, thick voice came from midair.

Then, an old man, over seventy years old, but with a steady gait, walked over from the backyard in a Tang suit.

He seemed to be walking leisurely, but each step covered more than ten meters.

While the voice resounded, almost before everyone could react, the old man had already arrived not far from Ye Guichen, standing in front of Ning Anbang.

Seeing the arrival, the fear on Ning Anbang's face instantly turned to joy.

With a thud, he knelt on the ground, and shouted excitedly, "Father, you, you have come out of seclusion?"

"Father?"

These two words were no less shocking than what Ye Guichen had done to kill Tie Hu and Tong Bao a moment ago.

Many were left in shock.

Ning Anbang's father was the extremely powerful martial artist, Ning Xiu Cheng, who had been in seclusion for several years.

It must have been over a decade, right?

Ning Xiu Cheng had not shown up for so long that many had almost forgotten his existence.

But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Ning Xiu Cheng appeared.

"Ning Ancestor!"

Almost all members of the Ning Family came to their senses and knelt on the ground.

They knew how formidable Ning Xiu Cheng was and were willing to call him Ancestor, especially since Ye Guichen had almost humiliated the entire Ning Family.

Ning Xiu Cheng's appearance was too timely.

"Mr. Ning, you, have you broken through?"

Even Situ Yufeng was trembling as he looked at Ning Xiu Cheng with hope.

It was said that when Ning Xiu Cheng went into seclusion, he was at the peak of the first-class realm. The reason for his seclusion was to break through the last shackle and achieve the Half-step Master Realm.

During the over ten years of Ning Xiu Cheng's disappearance, the Ning Family's development had gradually declined. This time, Situ Yufeng had come to Ning Anbang for cooperation, largely out of utilitarian motives.

But if Ning Xiu Cheng had really broken through and become a Half-step Master, all plans would need to be scrapped and redone.

Half-step Master, huh.

In the entire Azure Dragon Commerce, it was said that only one person had reached the Half-step Master Realm.

That person had never been seen by Situ Yufeng, and it seemed only the chairman knew him.

Yet even so, because of that individual's presence, the Azure Dragon Commerce firmly held half of the Eastern Hua Country, almost like having a dominant gaze over all others.

If the Ning Family produced another Half-step Master, even the chairman would seek to ally with them.

Hence, Situ Yufeng's tone became exceptionally respectful, and his expression carried hints of inexplicable reverence.

Ning Xiu Cheng glanced at Ning Anbang, lightly shook his head, and said with some discontent and a sigh, "Alas, I didn't expect that just a mere thirteen years of seclusion would lead the Ning Family to such a state, being attacked at their own doorstep without even daring to make a sound."

Then, he glanced at Situ Yufeng, "Are you from the Azure Dragon Commerce? Haha, you lost two subordinates, I remember this favor, if there's anything in the future, you can come to me."

"Yes, yes, Senior Ning, I understand, I understand." Situ Yufeng was immediately so excited by Ning Xiu Cheng's words that he became inarticulate.

Although Ning Xiu Cheng did not say if he had made a breakthrough, from his tone it seemed he had already entered the Half-step Master Realm.

With the promise of a Half-step Master, the loss of two subordinates was a small price to pay.

Ning Xiu Cheng nodded lightly, then turned around and cast a glance at the children of the Ning Family, saying with a hint of frustration, "You Ning Family people have disgraced the Ning name! Hmph, today's events would have led to our defeat if I hadn't incidentally come out of seclusion, crushed by a mere fledgling."

All the Ning Family members were terrified but lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Father, that boy didn't just kill Cheng Yuan, he also severely injured Mr. Li, you must avenge your grandson!" Ning Anbang hastened to say, his heart filled with excitement.

From Ning Xiu Cheng's words, it seemed he had indeed made a breakthrough.

Thirteen years!

Now that Ning Xiu Cheng had returned, with the Ning Family producing a Half-step Master, they were surely bound to rise.

Ning Xiu Cheng snorted, lifted his gaze towards Ye Guichen, "Boy, you killed my grandson? Stepped all over my Ning Family? Haha, at your age, don't you know how to restrain yourself? With your level of cultivation, rare in the world, if you knew how to lay low, in another ten years, you could have truly dominated and become significant. You could even possibly reach the Grandmaster Realm that is admired by all."

At this point, he shook his head and sighed with regret, "But it's just bad luck you ran into me, such bad fortune for you, I now give you two choices, either I kill you, or you end your own life!"

"No need for Mr. Ning to take action!" Ye Guichen naturally felt the vast power in Ning Xiu Cheng's dantian.

However, compared to himself, it was worlds apart.

It seemed that Ning Xiu Cheng had entered the Half-step Master Realm, but it was not stable, or it was a sort of Fake Half-step Master Realm.

Since entering the Innate Realm, Ye Guichen had gained a deep understanding of this level.

Though he had been unable to break through for a while, solidifying himself at the peak was beneficial, making his realm much more stable so that when he did break through, he was much stronger than the average Heavenly Xian Realm.

Not to mention this Fake Half-step Master Ning Xiu Cheng, even a true Grandmaster Realm figure would be someone Ye Guichen was confident he could battle.

Ye Guichen saw at a glance that someone like Ning Xiu Cheng, although his dantian could produce a mystical energy, it was too dispersed, fine for opponents below the Innate level, but meeting a true Innate expert, death was the only path.

"Haha! At least you have some self-awareness!" Misunderstanding Ye Guichen's words, Ning Xiu Cheng thought Ye Guichen was afraid and was going to kill himself to apologize, and he laughed proudly.

Ye Guichen, however, shook his head lightly, "Mr. Ning, considering your old age, having lived so long is not easy, with half of your body already in the grave, I fear if you make a move, you'll end up fully buried."
