Chapter 815: Stepping Forward
A faint voice suddenly echoed above the Central Square.
At first, it seemed flat and unremarkable, but as it spread swiftly like lightning, it exploded like thunder in the end, carrying a vast and majestic momentum, completely canceling out the might of the Meng Family's Heroic Master.
This kind of skill left countless people in the Central Square dumbfounded. To casually dissolve the power of a figure at the Heroic Lord Level, it must be a Super Expert, perhaps not weaker than a Heroic Master.
"Who is it?"
The Meng Family elder shouted loudly, eyes wide in anger, hair slightly bristling, a mighty aura rising from his body, stronger than ever before.
If the previous was just a minor display of skill, now it's a full-scale outbreak with little reservation.
The Heroic Lord Level's might completely enveloped the entire Central Square, causing the entire void to condense.
Even the likes of Lin Tian and Meng Ao, both Ancient Saints, faced immense pressure, let alone others in attendance, only the Supreme Elder of the Emperor Dynasty remained unaffected, watching coldly from the sidelines.
"Cowardly turtle, still unwilling to come out?"
The Meng Family elder finally saw no one coming out and his old face sank completely, "Since you intervene for the Lin Family and refuse to show yourself, I will make the Lin Family your scapegoat."
Boom—
Under the full outbreak of the Heroic Lord Level's might, it didn't affect others but instead rushed towards the Lin Family's powerhouses, like enormous mountains pressing down suddenly.
The elder didn't truly strike, but under this Heroic Lord Level's might, even Lin Tian, an Ancient Saint, could only barely resist, not to mention others; several Clan Elders coughed blood, especially Lin Ke'er, facing the brunt of the impact with insufficient cultivation level, possibly struck dead by force.
This isn't an exaggeration because a Heroic Master definitely possesses such might.
"Ke'er!"
Lin Tian urgently rushed forward, completely suppressed, unable to protect Lin Ke'er in time, others even more so, could only watch as the invisible Heroic Lord's might was about to strike Lin Ke'er like lightning, seeming to see a fragile beauty falling from the mortal realm.
Lin Ke'er neither dodged nor avoided because she knew she couldn't escape, tears falling bit by bit, and at the last moment, a figure deeply engraved in her heart emerged in her mind, softly calling out: "Brother Qian—"
Then she closed her eyes, awaiting death's arrival.
A moment, like eternity!
"Don't worry, you won't come to harm."
A gentle and familiar voice sounded in her ear, and when she opened her bright eyes, she found that figure standing before her, not knowing when it appeared, smiling at her, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Am I hallucinating?"
"It's no hallucination." Ye Chen smiled at her, then turned without looking back and waved his sleeve.
Puff—
The mountain-like Heroic Lord Level's might suddenly dissipated, so silently, so abruptly, astonishing everyone, leaving them dumbstruck.
What kind of skill is this?
If the previous mighty pressure could be resisted by the Ancient Saints, now the fully erupted Heroic Lord Level's might would be avoided by the Ancient Saints, yet solved casually by a suddenly appearing youngster.
Such means far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Looking at the slender figure standing before Lin Ke'er, everyone focused their gaze. That figure was very handsome and elegant, black hair draped over his shoulders, eyes like stars, deep and profound.
He looked somewhat familiar, but for the moment, no one could determine who he was.
All this was because Ye Chen used the Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth Technique to slightly alter his Original Aura and appearance, though merely subtle changes, it prevented immediate recognition, only feeling faintly familiar.
Even though he was the Combat Saint King known to all the world before.
"Hmm, finally willing to come out, aren't you?"
The Meng Family elder's expression was somber, scanning around.
Although he found Ye Chen somewhat familiar and extraordinary in aura, he didn't believe this seemingly young man could withstand his might, not even the Heavenly Pride like the Crown Prince of the Nine Great Empires could resist so effortlessly.
As for those mighty True Kings from the Heavenly Ten Thousand Domains, he didn't believe they would reveal themselves for a mere Lin Family.
So to some extent, he believed this young Heavenly Pride must have an extraordinary background, with a Super Expert of Heroic Lord Level secretly protecting him, guarding his Dao.
Others in the Central Square also realized this, understanding that the mysterious young man likely had exceptional guardians following him.
Not just them, even Lin Tian and the Lin Family thought so, only Lin Ke'er was slightly stunned, then understood and couldn't help but playfully give Ye Chen a charming glance.
If she hadn't spent close time with Ye Chen and grown fond of him from the bottom of her heart, being so close now, she wouldn't have recognized him immediately either.
But with Ye Chen's appearance, she had no need for further worry, biting her luscious red lips, softly said, "Brother Qian, sorry for bothering you."
Ye Chen gently stroked her forehead, smiling, "It's alright, we're friends."
Just friends, then...
Lin Ke'er's eyes flashed with a tinge of sadness, but Ye Chen had already turned around, looking towards the Meng Family, saying, "The actions of the Meng Family today have been excessive, fighting over the Lin Family's Space Gate is one thing, why the further intimidation."
Meng Ao disdainfully waved his hand, coldly saying, "Here isn't the place for you, a junior, to speak. Have your elders appear quickly. Meddling in our Meng Family's affairs and defying the Supreme Emperor's Dharma Decree, what about such defiance, do you plan to resist the entire Tianxu Dynasty?"
Truly worthy of an Emperor Dynasty Great General, understanding the stakes, with a few words imposing the grave crime of defying the dynasty onto Ye Chen.
This crime would indeed intimidate ordinary people.
Even the Supreme Elder presiding over the Space Gate showed a temporarily grave expression, glanced around, then focused on Ye Chen, saying, "Young man, have your parents appear to apologize, do you dare defy our Tianxu Imperial Family?"
"Elder?" Ye Chen shook his head slightly, then casually glanced at the Royal Supreme Elder, saying, "I have no elders; it was me acting just now."
