However, Ye Xuan did not continue to ponder, but quickly gathered his thoughts and secretly concentrated all his strength, carefully facing the steadily rising momentum of Wang Tianchen.

At this moment, he could no longer afford to hold back his strength, as Wang Tiancheng's state was extremely strange, with his mind gradually descending into chaos.

Maybe, very soon he would turn into a complete killing machine, and then it would be very dangerous!

He did not expect the other party to stop at the right moment, or show mercy; once the battle began, it would be a fight to the death! He had to defeat the opponent with absolute strength to ensure his own safety. Otherwise, this killing machine would not stop as long as it was running, unless it was defeated.

However, just as Wang Tiancheng's aura was about to reach its peak, and Ye Xuan was cautiously on guard, ready for the imminent battle.

A gentle and indifferent voice suddenly floated over: "Tianchen, stop!"

After this voice echoed, it reverberated throughout the square, and then one could see the eighty-year-old man with crane-like hair, who had been sitting at the head position behind Wang Tianchen, calmly walking forward, hands behind his back.

He wore a pair of black cloth shoes and gently tapped the ground with his feet, landing silently, as if gliding on water, slowly approaching Wang Tianchen.

This elder was none other than Wang Chaoyang, the patriarch of the Wang Family!

"Why should I stop? I haven't lost yet!"

Wang Tianchen suddenly turned his head, his blood-red eyes fixating on the elder, roaring like a bloodthirsty wild beast.

"You lost to him, it's already over."

Wang Chaoyang gazed at Wang Tianchen, shook his head, and in a tone laced with a touch of kindness, said calmly: "Besides, winning or losing doesn't matter! Your actions now have crossed a line, listen to your grandfather, withdraw your momentum, let me handle this matter."

"I don't agree! I haven't lost to him, why should I listen to you? How have I crossed the line?"

Wang Tianchen's expression was fierce as he shouted again, his tone brimming with uncontrollable anger, the words growing increasingly intense.

Today, Ye Xuan made him lose face in front of the family, he must vent this anger by fiercely beating the other to regain his honor!

Yet now, his grandfather Wang Chaoyang stepped in to stop him, how could this not make him angry? The frustration in his heart was unimaginable; if it weren't for the fact that this was his grandfather, he would have already rushed in to bash his opponent's head.

"Tianchen, you look at some things too heavily! Since you lost, admit defeat willingly. Once anything crosses that line, the situation will become very serious, grandfather is stopping you for your own good," Wang Chaoyang said with a heart as calm as still water.

"And if I refuse to listen to you?"

Wang Tianchen's eyes flashed sharply, his voice lowered.

"Do you think you have the ability to defy your grandfather?"

Wang Chaoyang, with his hands still behind his back, maintained his unperturbed demeanor, but his tone carried a tinge of sternness as he spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianchen's complexion alternated between pale and flushed, his tall body trembling slightly, his aura extremely unstable, stirring uneasily! The anger repressed within him was almost consuming the last shreds of his sanity.

He even had an impulse to recklessly vent this anger completely!

But looking at Wang Chaoyang's authoritative gaze, he dared not!

Because this person in front of him was his grandfather, and he knew full well how terrifying this grandfather was! Even in his maddened state, he was no match for Wang Chaoyang; he couldn't defy his will, nor did he have the strength.

So even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to yield!

Wang Tianchen's face twisted severely, he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared in rage, hysterical, as if mad, venting the unwillingness and frustration in his heart: "Ah!!!"

This was indeed the most painful and frustrating thing he had experienced in his life, almost driving him to madness.

The roar lasted for a full half-minute!

When the sound died down, Wang Tianchen suddenly raised his fist high, his aura violent, and then with the momentum of a thousand-jin hammer, he screamed and fiercely slammed it into the ground.

Bang boom.

A loud explosion erupted from the ground, shaking like an earthquake, as if thunder had struck the earth. After the booming sound ceased, the hard stone-paved ground quickly displayed spider-web-like cracks extending outward.

And at the center of his fist, within half a meter, a hole more than a foot deep was forcibly punched out!

The power of this punch was terrifying!

"Black Emperor, one day, I will make you fall by my hand!"

Coldly throwing out a remark, Wang Tianchen glared at Ye Xuan with blood-shaded eyes like daggers, then turned and left without any hesitation.

Watching Wang Tianchen leave, Ye Xuan felt no relief, instead his alertness rose to an unprecedented level!

Although this opponent was indeed very strong, Ye Xuan felt no reverence from him, but this apparently ordinary old man with crane hair felt extremely dangerous to him.

Ye Xuan was very aware that the most dreadful existence within the Wang Family wasn't those self-righteous elders, nor the Wang Family Head Wang Qianjun, nor the internationally renowned Blood Butcher! It was indeed the Wang Family's patriarch, likely having broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, Wang Chaoyang!

Earlier, he was unsure whether this Wang Family patriarch had reached the Grandmaster Realm, but upon seeing him dismiss Wang Tianchen with just a few words, Ye Xuan had his answer.

Grandmaster, the realm so many martial artists dream of!

Below the Grandmaster, all are ants; this was a state he had not yet achieved, nor could he easily defeat.

He wasn't sure if he could ultimately cross this threshold. If he failed to do so, the result would be disastrous! Not to mention taking Liu Ying, even leaving safely was a significant problem.

Actually, from the aura of this old man in front of him, he had already judged this person to be Wang Chaoyang, the patriarch of the Wang Family.

At this moment, Wang Chaoyang turned his gaze to Ye Xuan as well, asking calmly: "Young man, is your name Ye Xuan?"

"Yes."

Ye Xuan nodded, his tone neither humble nor pushy.

Although Wang Chaoyang exerted a lot of pressure on him, this did not mean Ye Xuan was afraid of him! Even though he was unwilling to fight Wang Chaoyang because he knew he couldn't win, but if the latter blocked his way, he wasn't afraid to fight.

"I have a question to ask you first," Wang Chaoyang nodded slightly and asked.

"What question?"

"What is your relationship with the Ye Family?"

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and responded coldly: "I used to be part of the Ye Family, but now I have no relation with them."

He knew that in this matter, there was no need to lie, Wang Chaoyang would have surely figured it out long before!

Besides, given the old man's status, a simple investigation would easily uncover his ties to the Ye Family, so it was better to simply admit it.

Wang Chaoyang glanced deeply at Ye Xuan and spoke indifferently: "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. I'm also curious about one thing, what is Chen Xuanba to you? Or rather, what is your relationship with him?"
