Zhan Qing stood amidst the lightning, azure-purple bolts swirling around her body, her surroundings almost transforming into a tempest of thunderclouds. Yet, that blazing wild thunder could not at all appease her tumultuous heart.
Since the moment she stepped into Ice City, she never imagined seeing such a scene.
Zhan Ao, Zhan Kuang, Zhan Wen, Zhan Ci... each of them were powerhouses of the Zhan Family! Their reputations were known across the Extreme North, known by all, and feared by all. Together, these numerous Earth Immortals could easily annihilate an entire Earth Immortal Clan.
But the result.
In front of Ye Qingchen, they were slaughtered like chickens and dogs.
The power Ye Qingchen displayed had already surpassed their imagination.
"Mr. Ye..."
Noticing Ye Qingchen’s gaze, Zhan Qing’s expression froze, and she promptly bowed her head deeply:
"This matter was our Zhan Family’s fault, please forgive us. Although you are formidable, our Zhan Family is a proud Earth Immortal Race with numerous experts. Rather than mutual destruction, why not let us make peace?"
"Of course, our Zhan Family has offended you, and naturally, we will apologize!"
Zhan Qing’s eyes were full of resentment and hatred, yet at this moment, she could only bow her head. The opponent’s strength was truly terrifying, slaughtering over ten Earth Immortals with casual ease, so much so that she couldn’t muster even a hint of resistance!
’When I return to the Zhan Family, I will certainly report to the ancestor and have him tear you to pieces!’
’No matter how strong you are, could you possibly defeat our family ancestor? Could you withstand our hundred Earth Immortals? When our family’s might crushes down, no matter how powerful you are, there will be no escape but death!’
Zhan Qing’s eyes fell, deciding to first bow to Ye Qingchen’s power. After all, relying on the Zhan Family, Ye Qingchen, despite his strength, must consider thoughtfully, allowing her to use this chance to slip back to the Zhan Family.
"Make peace?"
Ye Qingchen sneered, flipping his right hand, already raising a palm to strike down.
"You..."
Zhan Qing exclaimed, trying to evade but it was too late.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, in the stunned gaze of the crowd, Ye Qingchen forcefully chopped down with a palm, like a sky collapsing and earth shattering. An immense force descended crushingly, and before Zhan Qing could even scream, she was smashed and annihilated by the sheer power.
The entire ground suddenly caved in, forming a massive palm imprint several dozen zhang in size.
"Hoo!"
Only then.
Did Ye Qingchen raise a hand and grab.
In an instant.
The vast barrier surrounding Ice City trembled, like a dreamlike bubble, quietly shattering, turning into nothing. At that moment, the wind that was imprisoned flowed once more, and the floating clouds in the sky began drifting again.
Yet now, silence dominated the venue, not a sound to be heard.
Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe it.
Ye Qingchen, who sealed and shook Ice City with a wave of his hand, swiftly slaughtering eleven Earth Immortals, his effortless demeanor akin to crushing chickens and dogs effortlessly.
What kind of terrifying strength is this?
Luo Xin’s jaw dropped, hardly believing his own eyes. He had previously worried whether Ye Qingchen could contend against the numerous Earth Immortals of the Zhan Family, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Qingchen had wiped them out cleanly!
"How is that possible?"
Many Earth Immortals present felt their hair stand on end, a chill running up their spines, their previous gloat disappearing, leaving only deep awe when looking towards Ye Qingchen.
The two patriarchs of the Yan Family buckled, nearly collapsing, especially the eldest who wished he could slap himself. With their pathetic appearances, where did they find the courage to covet the Luo Family?
"Who else wishes to try?"
Ye Qingchen crossed his arms, his gaze sweeping coldly.
At this moment.
Everyone was quivering silently.
The two Yan Family patriarchs trembled all over, and the eldest hurried forward, cupping his hands with a deep bow, saying: "Mr. Ye, your Martial Arts Divine Techniques are truly admirable. The Yan Family is here to welcome and celebrate you!"
"Mr. Ye!"
"Mr. Ye!"
"Mr. Ye!"
One by one, Earth Immortals and patriarchs snapped back to reality, quickly rising to their feet in a rush.
If Ye Qingchen’s slaying of Luo Yunfei had left faint hopes in them, now his public execution of eleven Zhan Family Earth Immortals utterly shocked everyone. With such strength, sweeping the entire Extreme North was no problem.
"How is this possible?"
The remaining Zhan Family members, seeing this scene, were as one in mourning.
It must be known.
They were the current generation of the Zhan Family, following Zhan Kuang and the others to witness the worldly scene.
Arriving in glory, they thought they could step on the Luo Family, outshine Ye Qingchen in the Extreme North, and make many Earth Immortals bow in submission. Yet, they did not foresee the result: this young man, with a light touch, shattered all their illusions.
"Who is the steward?"
Ye Qingchen, with his arms crossed, descended from the sky, looking at the Zhan Family people before him.
"Mr. Ye, it’s me..."
A young man, bracing himself, stepped out.
"Go back and tell the Zhan Family, they have angered me! If there is any dissatisfaction, they can come find me. But by then, I will first storm the Zhan Family and erase them from the Extreme North!"
Ye Qingchen lightly waved his hand, and instantly, these young members of the Zhan Family were like flies, fiercely hurled out, crashing directly outside the hall.
These people tumbled with bloodied heads, yet dared not utter a single complaint, scrambling away in a hurry.
Everyone quietly watched this scene.
At present, Ice City was teeming with many long-established Earth Immortals of the Extreme North, each a ruler of their domain. If Ye Qingchen had declared such words publicly before today, these Earth Immortals of the Extreme North would have snorted derisively.
’Who do you think you are? Do you know what the Zhan Family is? Daring to say such things? The Zhan Family needs but a single finger to crush you with ease!’
’Storm the Zhan Family? Who do you think you are?’
But now, having seen Ye Qingchen wield supreme might, vanquishing eleven Earth Immortals from the Zhan Family with astounding force, everyone believed that he indeed has the ability to confront the Zhan Family!
In fact, everyone doubted whether the Zhan Family could withstand Ye Qingchen’s fierce might.
At this moment.
In facing Ye Qingchen, everyone deeply bowed their heads.
"This young man is simply an Overseas Fierce Dragon!"
The two patriarchs of the Yan Family looked deeply at Ye Qingchen.
When the news of Ye Qingchen’s return to the Extreme North first spread, none of the Earth Immortals viewed him as anything but a delicious carp, lying on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered. But now, it turns out, he was a fierce dragon storming into the pond!
