Outside the Chen Family Old Mansion.
At least forty to fifty martial artists surrounded the place.
Among them, nearly half were first-class powerhouses, holding swords and blades, led by three middle-aged men who had encircled the Chen familyâs old mansion.
âWhatâs going on? Where did all these powerful people come from?â
âItâs the Ma family, what are they doing at the Chen familyâs place so late at night?â
Ma familyâs grandiose appearance quickly alarmed other martial artists in the town, attracting many people.
âMa Shan, Ma Hai, Ma Hu! Itâs the Three Elites of the Ma Family! All three of them are Spirit-level Early-stage, why are they all here?â
âAre they the Three Elites of the Ma Family? With such a large mobilization, did they find some treasure in Chen familyâs place?â
âIt shouldnât be possible, right? Everything valuable in the Chen family has already been looted. Apart from this house, where else is there anything valuable, let alone a treasure.â
When people heard the identities of the three middle-aged leaders, they were all greatly surprised.
Spiritual level experts were considered unattainable existences for them, rarely seen in ordinary days.
And now, there were three of them at once, making everyone curious about what had brought them all together.
Soon, they had their answer.
With a creak, the door of the Chen Family Old Mansion was opened, and an old man slowly walked out.
âChen De! Itâs the old housekeeper of the Chen family!â
âDidnât he escape with Miss Chen? Why did he return?â
âNo wonder the Ma family has made such a fuss, it turns out itâs because of him!â
Many of the local martial artists in Chen Family Town recognized Chen De as soon as he appeared.
âI heard that he was originally just an abandoned baby taken in by the Chen family, but due to his great contribution to the Chen family, he received the favor of the previous Chen Family Patriarch, was bestowed with bloodline, and made several more significant contributions, which led him to where he is today.â
âAh, itâs a pity, he had already escaped, but why would he come back? Isnât this asking for death?â
Many people sighed for Chen De, thinking it was a shame.
Perhaps in their view, Chen Deâs fate was sealed today.
Among the Three Elites of the Ma Family, Ma Shan sneered at Chen De, âChen De, we failed to kill you last time, and you escaped. I didnât expect you to come back and ask for death. I really donât know if I should call you stupid or gutsy.â Chen De looked at Ma Shan coldly and said, âMa Shan, you killed more than a hundred people from my Chen family. Today, the old man will make sure you pay for your crimes in blood!â
âPay in blood? Hahahaâ¦â
âChen De, I think youâve really gone mad. Want us to pay in blood? Not a chance in your next life!â
The Three Elites of the Ma Family laughed, staring at Chen De as if looking at a fool.
Chen De didnât bother to waste words with them and attacked directly. With one stride, he suddenly punched at Ma Shan.
âWell done! Youâll be the first Spiritual-Level expert to die at my hands, but certainly not the last!â
Ma Shan was full of confidence. Having fought Chen De before, he was well- aware of Chen Deâs strength. He was sure that even if he couldnât take down Chen De single-handedly, he wouldnât be on the losing side either.
The other two middle-aged men observed the scene without intervening, confident in Ma Shanâs strength.
However, in the next moment, their expressions changed.
Chen Deâs punch came swiftly, and Ma Shan countered it with his fist. But at the moment their fists collided, Ma Shan felt as if he was hitting a rock, unable to budge his opponent in the slightest.
What alarmed him even more was the enormous amount of strength emanating from Chen Deâs fist!
The clash of their powers erupted between their fists.
With this punch, Ma Shan was forced to retreat dozens of steps before he could barely stabilize himself.
âMid-stage Spirit-level! Youâve actually broken through to the mid-stage Spirit-level!â
âHow is it possible? Where did you get the bloodline and Demon Sutra?â
Chen Deâs strength shocked the Three Elites of the Ma family. As they carefully sensed Chen Deâs aura, they realized that, at some point, his aura had become much stronger than before.
âMid-stage Spirit-level? So Chen De has broken through to the mid-stage Spirit-level, no wonder he dared to come back!â
âHow did he break through? Spiritual-level bloodline and Demon Sutra are not that easy to acquire!â
âThe Three Elites of Ma Family are in trouble now. Although they have an advantage in numbers, the gap of a small realm is not so easy to make up.â The onlookers watched the two sides, their eyes filled with excitement.
They had a premonition that the battle today was going to be spectacular.
The Three Elites of the Ma Family stared at Chen De, their previous arrogance gone and replaced with somber expressions.
âLetâs attack together!â
Ma Shan shouted, and Ma Hai and Ma Hu followed suit, forming a triangle formation to surround Chen De.
The remaining ordinary martial artists didnât stay idle either, following the three men closely, ready to strike at any moment.
Chen De was still fearless, launching another attack at Ma Shan.
The intense battle erupted fully, but the situation where Chen De was supposed to be crushed by the Three Elites of the Ma Family did not happen.
Chen Deâs strength surpassed everyone present, and the Ma familyâs forces could only compete with Chen De using their numerical advantage.
With Su Nan as his backbone, Chen De remained calm, carefully analyzing the weaknesses in the Three Elitesâ moves, looking for an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to them.
In a blink of an eye, the two sides had been fighting for more than ten minutes.
âOld man, we donât believe that we canât exhaust you to death today!â
Failing to defeat Chen De, Ma Shan was not in a hurry. Instead, he simply had the ordinary martial artists take action, using them to wear down Chen Deâs strength.
Chen De naturally saw their intention and did not bother with the ordinary martial artists. Instead, he turned his attention to Ma Hu, the weakest among the Three Elites of the Ma Family.
