Chapter 916: Chapter 0916: Let’s See How Long You Keep Being Stubborn
Lin Zhennan’s gaze toward Ye Xunhuan was filled with tranquility, completely unlike the look of an enemy!
"It seems you’ve already guessed I would come!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly.
"Not at all!" Lin Zhennan replied truthfully. "I just heard some noise and glanced out the window."
"I never expected you would dare to charge into my family alone!"
Indeed, Lin Zhennan had not anticipated that Ye Xunhuan would come alone to assassinate him.
Or perhaps, he had never considered the possibility.
After all, the Lin family was no ordinary household, and with Ye Xunhuan living in Jiangzhong City, how could he suddenly decide to launch a lethal attack?
Besides, Yuan Shu was currently by his side!
"Why wouldn’t I dare?"
"You’re even bolder than I imagined!" Lin Zhennan praised. "What a pity you’re not part of the Lin family. If you were, my family could have ascended into the ranks of the Six Great Clans!"
Although the Lin family held a prestigious position in the capital, it was still far below the likes of supreme households such as the Qin family and the Sheng family.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t bother with idle chatter and asked indifferently, "Have you decided how you want to die?"
"Have a cup of tea first!" Lin Zhennan gestured at the teacup in front of him. "Freshly brewed!"
Without hesitation, Ye Xunhuan stepped forward, picked up the cup, and drained the tea in one gulp. "Good tea—smooth in texture, carrying a faint fragrance. Truly a lingering taste across the palate..."
"Just some countryside brew!"
"Though the tea is fine, it seems to have a touch of other ingredients mixed in, doesn’t it?" Ye Xunhuan smiled slyly at Lin Zhennan.
"If you knew, why drink it?"
"It won’t kill me anyway!" Ye Xunhuan extended his hand and patted Lin Zhennan’s shoulder. "And it might even make your death feel more unjust. Why not go along with it?"
Lin Zhennan’s expression darkened slightly when he heard Ye Xunhuan’s remark. "You..."
"I am no ordinary man. If I could be poisoned so easily, I would’ve died long ago!" Ye Xunhuan said lightly. "Enough. My time is limited, and I’m not interested in lengthy conversations!"
"If you have any last words, spit them out now!" Ye Xunhuan remarked cheerfully. "But don’t expect me to fulfill them for you!"
Lin Zhennan’s calm composure slowly turned ashen. "Ye Xunhuan, don’t get too cocky!"
"What can you do about it if I do?" Ye Xunhuan stared at Lin Zhennan’s troubled face. "Your family’s already in decline; it can’t stir up any waves now!"
"Or are you waiting for Yuan Shu to come save you?"
"What do you think?"
"I’ve never been able to fully fathom an old fox’s mind." Ye Xunhuan sighed softly. "Fine, we’ve chatted awhile. If you have nothing to say, then I’ll send you off!"
"Ye Xunhuan, I’ll wait for you in hell!" Lin Zhennan glared viciously at Ye Xunhuan, showing not a shred of fear.
"Then take your time waiting!"
After these words, Ye Xunhuan raised his right hand and struck Lin Zhennan’s skull. Blood instantly burst and flowed down from his head.
Having killed Lin Zhennan, Ye Xunhuan wasted no time and made a move to leave.
But before Ye Xunhuan could step out of the room, an overwhelming presence charged in like a surging tide, imbued with killing intent.
As the tidal wave of murderous intent swept over, Ye Xunhuan’s expression shifted slightly.
The next moment, Yuan Shu appeared at the doorway. When he saw Lin Zhennan lying dead, skull shattered by Ye Xunhuan, his face darkened immediately.
"Kid, did you do this?"
"Are you blind?" Ye Xunhuan snapped at Yuan Shu as if filled with gunpowder.
"You..."
"Are you one of Shu Mountain’s people?"
"Indeed. I am Yuan Shu!"
"Your white and black hair—where did you get it dyed? Quite stylish. Tell me, maybe I’ll visit the salon. Is it a Shu Mountain salon?"
"Impudent!" Yuan Shu’s face darkened completely. "Who exactly are you, kid?"
"Haven’t you all been searching for me?"
"You’re Ye Xunhuan?" Yuan Shu’s darkened expression changed slightly.
"Congratulations, you guessed right! Too bad there’s no reward!" Ye Xunhuan snapped his fingers smugly.
"Well, what’s hard to find comes easy. And you dare come here courting death?"
"To send him to his death!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan pointed to Lin Zhennan, whom he had just killed.
Ye Xunhuan’s mention of Lin Zhennan only stoked Yuan Shu’s rage further.
After all, Yuan Shu had been in the Lin household the whole time, yet Ye Xunhuan had infiltrated under his nose and killed Lin Zhennan.
If word of this got out, Yuan Shu would undoubtedly become a laughingstock!
But Yuan Shu wasn’t entirely to blame—who could’ve guessed Ye Xunhuan would charge in alone at this moment?
"You’ve killed Lin Zhennan, so there’s no need for you to live either!"
Ye Xunhuan scoffed at Yuan Shu, "Do you think you’re the king of hell, deciding my life and death?"
"Little brat, tonight I’ll see what you’re truly capable of!"
With that, Yuan Shu launched his attack on Ye Xunhuan.
In a blink, Yuan Shu was upon Ye Xunhuan, his palm striking out immediately.
As his palm struck, a sharp wind shot forth like a blade, aimed directly at Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly and dodged sharply to the side.
"Swish!"
Just as Ye Xunhuan dodged, the wooden cabinet behind him shattered instantly.
Yuan Shu showed no mercy, his strikes infused with Inner Strength, aiming to kill Ye Xunhuan outright!
But killing Ye Xunhuan was easier said than done.
Yuan Shu’s strikes came with fierce wind and continuous intensity, leaving Ye Xunhuan no room for counterattack. He could only evade hastily.
Ye Xunhuan’s evasive maneuvers quickly left all the furniture in the house destroyed under Yuan Shu’s assault.
The fight gradually moved from inside the house to the outside!
"Swish!"
Yuan Shu swept his right leg horizontally, aiming for Ye Xunhuan’s chest.
As Yuan Shu’s kick closed in on Ye Xunhuan’s chest, Ye Xunhuan shifted his stance slightly, evading the blow just in time.
But before Ye Xunhuan could strike back, Yuan Shu’s figure flashed again, sending another fierce wave of attacks surging toward him.
Ye Xunhuan had no choice but to retreat rapidly!
"Kid, if this is all you’ve got, tonight will be your death!" Yuan Shu said coldly and disdainfully. "But if you hand over the Taiji Seal now, I might consider sparing your life!"
Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly in response. "If you kneel before me now, maybe I’d consider sparing you!"
Yuan Shu’s arrogant face was further enveloped in a thick murderous intent in response to Ye Xunhuan’s verbal barbs. "Kid, let’s see how long you can remain defiant!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
With that, Yuan Shu leapt into the air, his body springing upward. From midair, his right leg swung down like a blade, delivering a Mount Tai-like strike aimed at Ye Xunhuan from above!
