"Hmph! You dare to leave after injuring my men? Then perish!"
Ye Xingyun had no intention of letting Su Fan go. Since his subordinates were no match, he would step in himself.
He was close to the Yaoguang realm in strength, and he refused to believe that Su Fan possessed such power!
"What a bother!"
Su Fan raised a fist and met Ye Xingyun's attack.
*Boom!*
Their fists collided with a muffled thud, causing the surrounding air to ripple.
Su Fan took a step back, realizing he had lost in terms of raw power to Ye Xingyun.
But it wasn't over. As Su Fan retreated, a shadow struck Ye Xingyun's fist again. Ye Xingyun grunted and was forced back three steps.
While Su Fan might have lost in a direct confrontation on the beam, he had won in terms of overall strength.
"What a strange technique. What kind of move are you using?"
Ye Xingyun mistook Su Fan's ability for an ancient martial art.
"No moves, no form."
Su Fan couldn't even come up with a name, so he simply didn't answer.
"Hmph! Putting on airs. Then taste my Ye family's Blazing Fist!"
Ye Xingyun said coldly, his body erupting in fierce flames. Compared to Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyun's Blazing Fist was far more potent.
Gong Wentao, who had been quietly observing, frowned. He hesitated, wondering whether to warn Ye Xingyun. Ye Xingchen had been severely burned by Su Fan after using this very technique.
"Raging Dragon Emerging from the Sea!"
Ye Xingyun's Blazing Fist differed from Ye Xingchen's. Ye Xingchen could only use flames for attack, but Ye Xingyun had a specific move. With "Raging Dragon Emerging from the Sea," the flames transformed into a fire dragon, its head leading Ye Xingyun as he charged furiously at Su Fan.
Playing with fire again. Su Fan didn't even want to comment. Had Ye Xingchen also told Ye Xingyun that fire was useless against him?
Su Fan extended his hand to block. The charging fire dragon abruptly stopped, obediently halting before Su Fan. No matter how hard Ye Xingyun pushed, the dragon wouldn't budge.
With a wave of his hands, Su Fan wrested control of the fire dragon from Ye Xingyun. It twisted in front of him, morphing into a large fireball.
"Your brother was severely injured by his own flames. Do you wish to experience it too?" Su Fan asked Ye Xingyun calmly.
Ye Xingyun was already stunned by Su Fan's methods.
"You... who exactly are you!" Ye Xingyun asked in disbelief. How could one person possess multiple abilities and cultivate ancient martial arts simultaneously? What kind of genius could master such disparate cultivation systems?
"An ordinary person."
Su Fan replied indifferently.
"Your flames, I return them to you."
Su Fan directly threw the fireball back at Ye Xingyun. This fireball was even more powerful than the one Ye Xingchen had used last time. If it hit Ye Xingyun, he would be even more severely injured than his brother.
"Stop!"
Just as Ye Xingyun's legs turned to jelly with fear, a figure instantly appeared before him. With a casual gesture, he caught the fireball Su Fan had thrown. Clenching his fist, the fireball dissipated.
"Second Uncle!"
Ye Xingyun cried out in surprise and joy upon seeing the newcomer. It was his second uncle, Ye Zhenyan.
"Second Elder."
The Ye family disciples respectfully greeted Ye Zhenyan.
Ye Zhenyan's status in the Ye family was second only to the patriarch.
"Useless! You can't even handle one brat!" Ye Zhenyan was extremely displeased with Ye Xingyun and the Ye family disciples. A mere kid in the Dongming realm required him to intervene personally.
"My uncle's teachings are correct. It's just that this person's methods are peculiar, and your nephew couldn't subdue him immediately," Ye Xingyun said, cupping his fists, clearly making excuses. He was no match for Su Fan.
"Brat, you've injured my Ye family members repeatedly. Today, even the heavens can't save you!"
Ye Zhenyan said coldly to Su Fan.
"Heh! So the little one got beaten and the old one shows up? Your Ye family is truly shameless," Su Fan taunted.
"What did you say!" Ye Zhenyan's face turned purple with rage. A junior dared to insult the Ye family so profoundly.
"Brat, you're courting death!" Ye Zhenyan was about to attack Su Fan.
"Su Fan is right. Your Ye family is truly shameless. You old scoundrel, jumping out to bully a junior, aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"
At that moment, Su Dongsheng walked in from outside, laughing mockingly.
His words were filled with insults towards the Ye family and Ye Zhenyan.
"Su Dongsheng!"
Ye Zhenyan was startled. He hadn't expected to encounter Su Dongsheng here.
Rumor had it that Su Dongsheng had broken ties with the Su family twenty years ago. Why was he speaking up for them now?
"Su Dongsheng, this is a personal feud between me and this brat. It has nothing to do with you. You'd best not interfere," Ye Zhenyan warned, looking at Su Dongsheng with apprehension.
"Su Fan is one of my Su family's people. Do you think I should mind?" Su Dongsheng walked up to Su Fan and stood protectively in front of him. Now, if Ye Zhenyan wanted to attack Su Fan, he would have to get past him.
Ye Zhenyan's spirit jolted. Su Dongsheng's words revealed several pieces of information.
Firstly, it dispelled the rumor of Su Dongsheng's estrangement from the Su family. Secondly, Su Dongsheng's presence here was for this Su Fan, and this Su Fan was a member of the Su family. Thirdly, the appearance of a Su family member in the New City clearly indicated they were also after the inheritance.
"Since he is one of your Su family, and he injured Xingchen, how will your Su family account for this to my Ye family?" Since he couldn't deal with Su Fan directly, Ye Zhenyan decided to escalate the matter to a family feud, using the Ye family's influence to pressure Su Dongsheng.
"Account? Do you want me to go to the convenience store and buy you a roll? Either scram, or I'll beat you into submission, and then you can scram!" Su Dongsheng, or Su Hao, showed no respect for Ye Zhenyan, his words dripping with disdain.
"You!" Ye Zhenyan was furious but helpless against Su Dongsheng.
Su Dongsheng was a ruthless individual known as the "Mad Dragon of Jincheng" back in the day. He had fought his way from Jincheng to the capital. No young master of a prominent family had escaped his beatings, including Ye Zhenyan. The Su family's reputation was built on Su Dongsheng's exploits.
Therefore, Ye Zhenyan was unsure of Su Dongsheng's current strength and whether he had improved over the years.
"What 'you'? Scram!"
Su Dongsheng berated Ye Zhenyan without any courtesy.
Ye Zhenyan was so enraged that he puffed out his chest and glared. After a long pause, he managed to utter a single sentence.
"Fine, I'll scram!"
Ye Zhenyan actually backed down. He, the second elder of a top family in the capital, was scared away by a few words from Su Dongsheng.
"Coward!"
Su Dongsheng continued to taunt Ye Zhenyan as he left.
Ye Zhenyan was so angry he almost collapsed, but he dared not retaliate. Su Dongsheng's past achievements were simply too terrifying. Few people of his generation would dare to challenge Su Dongsheng.
"Third Uncle is awesome!"
Su Bei walked over with admiration.
He had only heard tales of his Third Uncle's legendary exploits when he was young and had never seen him fight. Although he hadn't fought today, he had scared away the enemy with his aura alone. That was true dominance!
"Xiao Su, why didn't you tell me you needed something? What if something had happened to you?"
Su Dongsheng chided Su Fan. Su Fan had encountered such a situation and hadn't informed him beforehand. If Su Bei hadn't sent him a message, Su Fan might have been beaten to death by that old geezer Ye Zhenyan today.
