Chapter 11

"Whoosh—"

With a long exhalation, although it was just a moment, it felt like several centuries had passed.

Then, Ye Zhong slowly raised his head, his gaze indifferently sweeping over the three people seated at the upper seats. The various expressions on their faces flashed past his eyes, but he did not pay much attention to them. Instead, his gaze shifted to Su Kui.

At this moment, behind the first and second banquet tables on the left, Su Kui and Su Wenqing had different expressions. Countless young geniuses from both families watched as Ye Zhong’s gaze fell on that direction. Many of them wanted to clench their teeth and step forward to show off in front of their idol, Su Wenqing, but seeing Ye Yifeng, who was still holding his knee and unable to stand up, many of them were shocked and could not stand up at all.

In fact, Ye Zhong’s gaze did not even glance at Su Wenqing, but rather fell on Su Kui with an indifferent look. After a brief silence, he spoke calmly.

“I’ve come to break the engagement. Where is Wang Mo?”

This statement was completely calm, without any pressure, but after Ye Zhong said it after fighting a hundred people alone, it was like a thunderclap, instantly echoing through the hall.

Su Kui’s body trembled, and he almost instinctively shrank back.

The three people at the upper seats, with their intelligence, had already deduced the reason for this scene the moment they heard Ye Zhong’s words.

At this moment, Su Hao and Ye Wuyan’s gazes simultaneously fell on the plump and round Su Kui. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, they would have slapped him to death!

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Wenqing’s eyes. Although she didn’t think any man would go crazy for her, with her stunning beauty, a bit of pride was normal. However, this man who had been her fiancé for five years, who had fought a hundred people with a sword and killed a hundred people at the engagement banquet, was not doing it for her... This made Su Wenqing feel a bit resentful. However, she didn’t say anything, just quietly watching Ye Zhong, wanting to see what her former fiancé would do next.

If he wanted to show his strength, he had already done so. As long as he said a word now, this so-called engagement banquet would be canceled, and their wedding would be held immediately, and the marriage would be consummated on the spot. The Ye and Su families would have no objections.

But would such a person, with such a demeanor, act like that?

“I’m asking you! Where is Wang Mo?”

Ye Zhong took another step forward, now only ten steps away from Su Kui. A strong killing intent erupted from him like a storm, and everyone in the hall could sense the deadly aura in his calm words.

“He... he... he is now in the city lord’s residence, in my room, with two guards watching him...” Su Kui, forced by Ye Zhong’s aura, subconsciously answered, but before he could finish, he suddenly closed his mouth, despair flashing in his eyes. If others had only guessed before, his answer now confirmed his foolish actions.

“Fool!” Su Hao grunted. No matter how this matter was handled, the Su family was clearly in the wrong, and the next steps would be extremely troublesome.

“Rest assured, young friend. Since your friend is in the city lord’s residence, I guarantee his safety. Someone, go and bring him here!” Liu Han’s eyes flashed, and he smiled as he spoke.

Hearing this, Ye Zhong glanced at Liu Han and nodded casually. In fact, whether Liu Han said this or not, it didn’t matter to him as long as Wang Mo was still alive. The next steps would be simple.

Seeing Ye Zhong nod, the tension in the hall eased slightly. No matter what, it seemed the matter was over.

However, just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, Ye Zhong suddenly took another step towards Su Kui.

“What!?”

Countless gazes froze. Many who thought the matter was over now trembled. What was Ye Zhong going to do? Was he going to turn the world upside down?

At this moment, whether it was the younger generation of the Ye family or the Su family, they had all lost their fighting spirit. Even those who hadn’t lost it realized that Ye Zhong’s target was Su Kui, not Su Wenqing. Who would step forward for just Su Kui?

“Clack—”

Not far behind Su Kui, the two guards who had brought Ye Zhong to the city lord’s residence stepped out with wary expressions, blocking in front of Su Kui. Although they managed to stand, the fear in their eyes was unmistakable.

“Abducting Wang Mo, was it you two?” Ye Zhong suddenly smiled and asked kindly.

The two guards subconsciously nodded, and their faces immediately fell. Admitting this was no different from signing their own death warrant.

Ye Zhong nodded slightly and took another step forward.

This time, as Ye Zhong stepped forward, the two guards could no longer withstand the intense killing intent radiating from him.

“Ah—”

With a shout, the two figures, both at the third level of Body Tempering, simultaneously drew their swords, which emitted blinding light.

“Whoosh—”

Ye Zhong did not dodge, a cold look flashing in his eyes. At the same time, he took another step forward, and his left hand swung a long saber downward!

“Clang—”

The leading guard instinctively tried to block Ye Zhong’s saber with his sword, but in the instant he pulled back his sword, Ye Zhong’s saber, like a cold bolt of lightning, split him and his sword in half.

“Splat—”

A gush of bright red blood spurted out, splattering the entire hall like a pool of blood.

“Gasp—”

The other guard let out a meaningless cry. He had already lost his courage and did not dare to attack again, but instead turned to flee.

But Ye Zhong’s saber flew out of his hand at this moment. A flash of light, and the fleeing guard suddenly stiffened. The saber had pierced his back, and a strange sound came from his throat as blood foamed from his mouth, and he collapsed, lifeless.

The hall fell silent, so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard. Everyone stared in shock, even losing the strength to breathe.

If Ye Zhong’s earlier display of walking a hundred steps and fighting a hundred people showed his invincible talent, what did his immediate killing of the two Su family guards mean?

“Draw your sword!”

Ye Zhong casually reached out and took a long sword from Liu Qingmeng, who was now pale, and took another step towards Su Kui.

“People who make mistakes must take responsibility. Since you wanted me dead, don’t blame me.” Ye Zhong looked at Su Kui, whose face was as pale as winter snow, and took another step forward.

This step brought Ye Zhong only six steps away from Su Kui, and the unhidden killing intent pressed down on Su Kui, making her unable to move!

Although Su Kui had good talent and strength, she had never experienced such a scene.

Even Su Wenqing’s body was trembling. For the first time, she felt so close to death. If Ye Zhong wanted to kill her now, she would have no way to resist.

After speaking, Ye Zhong slowly raised the long sword, tilting it slightly, as if considering the best angle to kill Su Kui. He hadn’t killed the young geniuses of the Ye and Su families earlier to conserve his strength, avoid angering the three people at the upper seats too quickly, and because his grudges with them were not significant.

But Su Kui and her two guards had clearly intended to kill him today. Since they had come to kill, he would not let them go!

At this moment, killing Su Kui’s guards did not burden Ye Zhong at all; it only made his killing intent reach its peak! As long as he killed Su Kui, today’s matter would be temporarily resolved!

“Ridiculous!?”

A voice filled with anger and shock echoed through the hall, making it tremble. Then, everyone saw that Su Hao, who had been sitting, could no longer bear it and flashed out like a ghost, transforming into a shadow and rushing towards Ye Zhong.

Liu Han also smiled silently and quickly followed. He was determined to protect Ye Zhong’s life, regardless of the consequences.

Seeing the other two act, Ye Wuyan also moved, regardless of his thoughts, and flashed out.

Finally, they had acted!

At this moment, Ye Zhong suddenly turned. Since entering the hall, he had hidden his true strength, knowing that if he killed, the three people at the upper seats would act.

Three figures, each carrying an extremely terrifying aura, rushed over. Any one of them was far stronger than the so-called geniuses Ye Zhong had cut down earlier. Especially Su Hao, whose eyes were now filled with unhidden killing intent. No matter how the matter started, if he didn’t take this opportunity to kill Ye Zhong, he would regret it for the rest of his life—

At this moment, the killing intent soared to the clouds!
