Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Take Action
“Alright, there’s no need to blame your subordinates anymore,” Ye Shikai said indifferently. Indeed, the one who had just been talking to Chen Yuxin was only an avatar. Though it was an avatar, it could feel everything that it encountered, even every move made. As for Ye Shikai himself, he had tricked Chen Ruoya into leading him to Wang Kai’s location and, while no one was around, he secretly took Wang Kai away. As expected, that room was also under the control of a previously set array, no wonder Wang Kai couldn’t leave for days.
“This matter has nothing to do with Wang Kai, nor with Chen Ruoya. Let’s talk properly,” Ye Shikai said, somewhat disappointed. Chen Yuxin originally planned to threaten him, but this time he had rescued Wang Kai first.
“Kai, you really are clever,” Chen Yuxin suddenly laughed, slowly sitting back in her seat.
“What, you want to use anesthesia on me again, or trap me with an array?” Ye Shikai chuckled coldly. Since they couldn’t reach an agreement, there was no need for him to stay.
“Kai, do you remember what it was like when we were children?”
“Of course, what about it?” Ye Shikai replied with a faint smile. Could it be she wanted to play on his emotions?
“Back then, I was bullied by little rascals, and you were always the first to rescue me.”
“At that time, I always thought I was invincible. Now it seems I was too naive,” Ye Shikai seemed to be reminiscing. Suddenly, he had a very ominous premonition, sensing a strong fluctuation of inner strength emanating from Chen Yuxin’s body.
“Now I finally have the ability to protect myself,” Chen Yuxin just finished speaking when Ye Shikai immediately stood up. “I have other matters to attend to. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”
As soon as Ye Shikai touched the doorknob, a jade hand suddenly reached out from the side with a speed not inferior to his own.
“Xin, what are you doing?” Ye Shikai’s expression turned cold; Chen Yuxin seemed possessed, her deep eyes sending chills down one’s spine.
“I want you to stay,” said Chen Yuxin. As soon as her voice fell, her hand turned into a palm and struck at him. Ye Shikai instinctively turned his face, avoiding the palm strike.
“If you want to leave, let’s see if you have the ability,” Chen Yuxin’s lips curled into a slightly wicked smile.
“You know I won’t lay a hand on you,” Ye Shikai stated lightly.
“But if I don’t make a move, you’ll leave,” Chen Yuxin said with “difficulty,” her face then showing a decisive expression. She suddenly charged towards Ye Shikai and unleashed a whip kick that he praised for its speed. He dodged, and the kick generated a sound of slicing wind.
“Wow, you’re not going easy,” Ye Shikai quickly retreated to create some distance. Just by those two moves, Ye Shikai realized the strength of Chen Yuxin – not inferior to the Main God Athena. If all went as expected, the room must also have been specially reinforced; otherwise, the wall would have been pierced by that kick…
Ye Shikai incessantly dodged Chen Yuxin’s attacks. Not only was her martial arts formidable, but her inner strength was also profound, clearly with the help of an adept master. However, if he were defeated so easily, then Ye Shikai was not truly the Netherworld King.
“Kai, what are you laughing at?”
“I’m reminded of the movie ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith,’ Xin, but I won’t lay a hand on you,” Ye Shikai said with a light smile.
“I must keep you here today,” Chen Yuxin said confidently.
“Then let’s give it a try,” Ye Shikai said as he disappeared from his spot, aiming for the window behind him. With a Breaking Sky Fist, he easily shattered the window, certain that Chen Yuxin couldn’t catch up with him given her speed.
Ye Shikai broke through the window with his inner strength, landing on the lawn, while Chen Yuxin stood silently inside, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly…
Ye Shikai quickly dashed outside; it was only a hundred meters or so, and he could break through in seconds. But just as he was about to pass over the wall, a sharp pain suddenly pierced through his brain.
“Ah!” Ye Shikai cried out in pain. The agony came too suddenly; he felt his inner strength disappear all at once, and he crashed heavily onto the ground. Due to inertia, his body rolled several times. That sensation was like a moth hitting an invisible electric net, and above the Chen family’s residence seemed to be a barrier.
Ye Shikai tried to stand, but his body swayed drunkenly, and he fell to the ground once more. His eyelids grew heavier and finally closed…
Outside the Chen family residence.
“Half an hour has passed, and the boss hasn’t sent us any messages,” Jeddon checked his phone with a solemn expression.
“Let’s storm in, we must ensure the boss’s safety,” Short-nosed Crocodile said as he grabbed his double swords and was about to open the car door, but was stopped by a large hand.
“Don’t get agitated, Old Ye isn’t that weak.” The speaker was Wang Kai who had been detained at the Chen family for the past few days, luckily unharmed, but the experience was a humiliation for him.
“Lord War God, are you sure?”
“I’ll bet you five thousand US dollars that Old Ye will come out soon,” Wang Kai said with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the car fell into silence…
“Eh, why aren’t you speaking?” Wang Kai opened his eyes curiously.
“Lord War God, remember you owe me five thousand dollars,” Short-nosed Crocodile said lightly. At this moment, the three cars at the Netherworld Palace had been completely surrounded by a group of men in black.
“Where did these people come from?” Wang Kai was shocked. What was this situation? Those men in black, each wielding a long knife, clearly meant trouble.
“Chen family residence,” Short-nosed Crocodile stated.
“Get out of the car,” Jeddon shouted, and suddenly, bullets came flying from all directions, the windows shattered to bits, and the sedan turned into a sieve.
“Everybody, attack!” Jeddon shouted into the walkie-talkie. Four shadows instantly sprang from the car. Wielding a long knife, Jeddon slashed at a man in black. Due to the sudden incident, several of Netherworld Palace’s elite were injured or hit by stray bullets.
“Jeddon, you guys retreat now, I’ll cover you,” Wang Kai shouted. With the Divine Artifact War God Spear not at hand, he could only fight barehanded against the men in black.
“No, the boss is still inside,” Jeddon yelled, brandishing his knife at a man in black, shouting, “Everyone, charge in, rescue the boss!”
