Supreme Lord of Towers

Chapter 281: The Innocent Man Bears Guilt for His Treasure


Buzz.

At this moment, above Ye Chen's right hand, colorful divine light burst forth, just like it was forged from Glazed Divine Jade.

Bang!

The next instant, the fiery red spear shadow was firmly gripped in Ye Chen's right hand, unable to move an inch.

This is a short spear less than a meter long, yet sharp to the extreme, easily capable of piercing through Profound Iron.

If not for Ye Chen's timely reaction earlier, even though his physical defense is extremely strong, he might have been seriously injured.

The person who threw this short spear clearly intended to put him to death.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, is the inheritance of Carefree Wanderer something trash like you is qualified to touch? Hurry up and hand it over." At this moment, a voice filled with mockery suddenly echoed through the hall, piercing in its sound.

Suddenly, a young man in a black robe had appeared at the hall's entrance.

This young man held a fiery red long spear, his lips full of thick mockery, looking at Ye Chen as if looking at a clown.

He is none other than Lu Cheng, ranked seventy-sixth on the Hidden Dragon List.

"So it's you, who gave you the courage to provoke me?" Ye Chen's eyes emitted a cold glint.

This guy had once attacked him in the valley, wanting to use his head to curry favor with Ye Lin'Er.

Unexpectedly, this time, he actually came to ambush him again.

Did he really think Ye Chen is a soft target that can easily be handled?

"Hmph! Trash, don't think that defeating Tang Lin makes you great. If not for using the power of the Secret Treasure, you wouldn't even qualify to carry Tang Lin's shoes. If you have the guts, face me fairly without using the Secret Treasure, I could crush you with a flip of my hand." Lu Cheng sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

In his view, Ye Chen only defeated Tang Lin thanks to the power of the Secret Treasure.

Without the Secret Treasure, this trash would be utterly insignificant.

So earlier, he chose to ambush Ye Chen.

If he could strike Ye Chen before activating the Secret Treasure, Ye Chen would surely die.

But Lu Cheng didn't expect Ye Chen's only skill is his quick reaction.

He must have used the Secret Treasure at the first moment to block the attack.

"I don't have any Secret Treasure on me, I defeated Tang Lin purely by my strength." Ye Chen smirked coldly, looking at Lu Cheng as if seeing an idiot.

"Haha, you make me laugh. You, a trash who can't even awaken your bloodline, talk about defeating Tang Lin by yourself; who gave you the courage to say such things?" Lu Cheng laughed loudly, his lips filled with mockery.

He had seen shameless people but never someone as shameless as Ye Chen.

This trash obviously depended on the Secret Treasure to kill Tang Lin but refused to admit it.

It's truly self-deception.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, stop deceiving yourself; everyone knows your worth. A man's sin is having what others covet; you'd better hand over Carefree Wanderer's inheritance because you don't deserve it!" Lin Man suddenly spoke, eyes filled with jealousy and mockery.

A trash who can't even awaken their bloodline, what's their right to obtain Carefree Wanderer's inheritance?

While she, ranked forty-second on the Hidden Dragon List and a divine talent, must miss out on Carefree Wanderer's inheritance.

How could she accept this?

"What if I don't hand it over?" Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, eyes fixed coldly on Lin Man, as if looking at a clown.

It's known that his Divine Soul Talent has reached a heaven-defying level, fully gaining the recognition of Carefree Wanderer.

If even he isn't qualified to receive Carefree Wanderer's inheritance, then who is?

"If you don't hand it over? Then die." At this moment, a merciless voice suddenly came from the hall's entrance, its tone filled with chilling murder intent.

Soon after, a young man in black Battle Armor strode into the hall, expressionlessly staring at Ye Chen as if looking at a dead man.

This young man turned out to be Xiahou Lei.

Behind Xiahou Lei, two Red Flame Academy talents followed, eyes fixed firmly on the Storage Ring above Ye Chen's head, flashing with greed.

"Haha, so it's Brother Xiahou! Useless trash, your time has come." Lu Cheng's lips curled into a playful smile upon seeing Xiahou Lei, as if he were watching a good show.

Even he hadn't expected Xiahou Lei to show up in this place.

However, he would rather the inheritance of the Carefree Wanderer land in Xiahou Lei's hands than go to Ye Chen, that useless trash.

Because someone like him is absolutely unqualified to receive such a powerful inheritance.

"Hmph! This trash's retribution has finally arrived. If it weren't for him accidentally opening this cave mansion, our Dynasty's geniuses wouldn't have died. Such a scourge shouldn't even exist in this world." Lin Man thought coldly to herself, wishing Ye Chen, this useless trash, would die at Xiahou Lei's hands immediately.

Although Xiahou Lei's appearance shattered the faint hope in her heart of obtaining the Carefree Wanderer's inheritance...

Inheritance falling into the hands of someone as talented as Xiahou Lei is a thousand times better than going to Ye Chen, the trash.

Therefore, even if she couldn't obtain the Carefree Wanderer's inheritance today, she wouldn't feel dissatisfied.

"You ignorant trash, hurry up and hand over that Storage Ring." A young genius behind Xiahou Lei suddenly shouted at Ye Chen, as if ordering a lowly peasant.

"Trash, whether you hand over the Storage Ring today or not, you're dead. However, if you obediently hand it over, we might consider giving you a quick death." Another young genius sneered, looking at Ye Chen like he was a mere ant that could be crushed at will.

Indeed!

Ye Chen's strength is formidable, even able to kill Tang Lin, who is ranked twenty-fifth on the Hidden Dragon List.

But that's because he harnessed the power of the Secret Treasure to have such formidable combat strength.

Otherwise, any expert from the Hidden Dragon List could easily crush this trash.

However, with Xiahou Lei in the scene today, that trash won't be able to rely on the Secret Treasure.

With Xiahou Lei's strength, crushing that trash is as easy as flipping a hand.

After all, he is ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List!

"Xiahou Lei, today the two of us should settle things here." Ye Chen didn't even spare a glance at the two young geniuses, but instead reached out to grab the Storage Ring, clutching it in his palm.

"I didn't expect that you, the trash, could open this palace and obtain the Carefree Wanderer's inheritance. Unfortunately, a common man with a treasure invites his own ruin. Trash like you can't possibly guard this inheritance. Only I, Xiahou Lei, am worthy of it." Xiahou Lei held his head high, his lips slightly curling, showing a thick playful smile.

Though the Storage Ring left by the Carefree Wanderer was already obtained by Ye Chen,

Xiahou Lei wasn't anxious at all.

Because crushing Ye Chen, the trash, is just as easy as crushing an ant.

In the end, the Carefree Wanderer's inheritance will still fall into his hands.

"Are you that confident in your own strength?" Ye Chen toyed with the Storage Ring as he spoke indifferently, as if he hadn't put Xiahou Lei in his eyes at all.

"Hmph! Trash, don't think that because you borrowed the power of the Secret Treasure to fortunately kill Tang Lin, you can really contend with me. You are like a frog at the bottom of the well, oblivious to how terrifying my strength truly is!" Xiahou Lei's face suddenly became extremely grim, with an aura of murderous intent surging throughout his body.

He originally thought Ye Chen, the trash, would be utterly desperate this time.

Yet unexpectedly, the other party wasn't even a bit afraid and instead acted nonchalantly.

To him, this was an enormous humiliation.

"Ignorant trash, even facing death you dare to be so arrogant. I want to see how long you can continue this bravado?" Lu Cheng's lips curled with a playful smile, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pitiful clown.

"Ye Chen, I advise you to obediently kneel and apologize to Brother Xiahou. Even with the Secret Treasure, you're no match for Brother Xiahou. The more you struggle, the more painful your death will be." Lin Man sneered.

An ordinary person who can't even awaken his bloodline dares to oppose someone as naturally talented as Xiahou Lei, who has awakened an Earth Level bloodline.

Who gave Ye Chen, this trash, the courage?

Such a self-deceiving person is truly pitiful.

"Trash, why don't you come over to die? Soon, people from the Ouyang Family will accompany you to the grave, so you won't be lonely on your journey to the underworld." Xiahou Lei's expression suddenly turned terrifyingly sinister, making one shiver involuntarily.

Boom.

The next moment, an extremely violent Celestial Spirit surged out from Xiahou Lei's body, forming nine Celestial Spirit Vortices behind him, emanating a world-destroying aura.

His cultivation had actually reached the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm, just like Wang Yang, just a step away from the Peak of Celestial Spirit Realm.
