After the phone call ended, Yang Fei looked at Ye Bufan with a dark expression.
"Ye Bufan, my Yang family and you are irreconcilable." Yang Fei said.
Blood trickled down the corner of Yang Fei's mouth. He wiped it again with his hand and continued, "This feud is set. If you have the guts, kill me today. Otherwise, as long as I'm alive, you and the Chu family will never have a moment of peace. I will cut you into a thousand pieces. I will make you kneel before me and beg me to kill you."
Ye Bufan frowned upon hearing Yang Fei's threat.
"Oh really?" Ye Bufan drew his sword finger, and sword intent erupted. His true qi transformed into sword qi, slicing Yang Fei's thigh.
"Ah—" Yang Fei screamed as blood gushed from the wound.
Ye Bufan drew his sword finger again, this time severing Yang Fei's wrist and ankle tendons.
"Ah—" Yang Fei's screams became more agonizing, his entire face contorted in pain, veins bulging in his neck.
"Do you think you can kill me?" Ye Bufan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Bang—bang—bang—" Just then, at the door of the presidential suite, the waiter who had left earlier returned with a group of people.
In an instant, nearly twenty people surged into the presidential suite, surrounding Ye Bufan and Chu Mengyao tightly.
Ye Bufan pulled Chu Mengyao behind him with one hand. Chu Mengyao felt a warmth in her heart and her gaze remained fixed on Ye Bufan's face.
"Young Master Yang, are you alright?" The waiter helped Yang Fei up.
"Quick, call an ambulance! My hands, my legs, he crippled my hands and legs! Go and cripple him!" Yang Fei roared, pointing at Ye Bufan and shouting.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" The waiter yelled at the twenty-odd people behind him, then took out his phone to contact an ambulance.
"Be careful." Chu Mengyao whispered a reminder to Ye Bufan, but in the next second, someone lunged at Ye Bufan with a bat.
Ye Bufan casually waved his hand, and the charging assailant was sent flying backward, embedding himself into a wall of the suite and perishing.
With just one move, everyone present hesitated. They all held their bats but dared not advance.
"Don't worry, these people can't get close to me," Ye Bufan said with a smile, looking at Chu Mengyao.
Hearing Ye Bufan's words, Yang Fei descended into madness. He shouted, "Whoever can leave even a scratch on him, I'll reward them with a million! Kill him, and I'll reward a hundred million, and I'll ensure their lifelong security with food, shelter, and women!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present moved, surrounding Ye Bufan.
Ye Bufan looked at Chu Mengyao and asked her to cover her ears.
Chu Mengyao didn't understand why, but she complied.
Ye Bufan circulated his true qi, smiled slightly, and pursed his lips, letting out a "hum" at them. Instantly, a sonic wave spread out, and everyone fell to the floor, groaning in pain.
Including Yang Fei, everyone's orifices bled, and their ears buzzed incessantly, an extremely piercing sound.
Chu Mengyao looked at Ye Bufan as if he were a monster, unable to comprehend how he had done it.
Ye Bufan walked towards Yang Fei. Seeing Ye Bufan's sword finger, Chu Mengyao knew he was intent on killing Yang Fei.
"No! You can't kill him!" Chu Mengyao cried out.
Ye Bufan turned to look at Chu Mengyao, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Chu Mengyao explained that if Ye Bufan killed Yang Fei now, the Yang family would surely become desperate and spare no expense to kill Ye Bufan. Even the Chu family would be implicated and would be finished within half an hour.
"If you don't kill him now, it's like letting a tiger return to the mountains," Ye Bufan said.
Chu Mengyao shook her head and replied, "I know you are very powerful. You can easily kill Yang Fei, and even all the members of the Yang family. But what's the difference between you and a murderer then? After you kill them, the Chu family will already be gone. They may be dead, but their subordinates are still working. Are you going to kill them too?"
Ye Bufan pondered for a moment, understanding Chu Mengyao's concerns. The root of the problem was the Chu family's lack of strength, power, influence, and backing.
"Fine," Ye Bufan said, "Death can be spared, but punishment is unavoidable."
Ye Bufan unleashed a palm strike. The area between Yang Fei's legs exploded, becoming a bloody mess. Before Yang Fei could even scream, he passed out from the pain.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." Ye Bufan took Chu Mengyao's hand and left the hotel.
As Ye Bufan pulled her along, Chu Mengyao's face flushed slightly, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.
Chu Family Villa.
Ye Bufan brought Chu Mengyao back to the Chu family. Upon their arrival, Chu He, along with Chu Qianceng, Chu Mengyao, and others, knelt down to Chu Mengyao, which startled Ye Bufan.
"Old Master Chu, what are you doing? Please, get up." Ye Bufan helped them to their feet.
Wang Xinyan was also at the Chu family's residence. She walked up to Ye Bufan and recounted the day's events.
It turned out that earlier in the day, Wang Xinyan had brought the jade pendant Ye Bufan had made to the Chu family. Chu He unhesitatingly took the jade pendant and wore it. However, Chu Qianceng disdained Ye Bufan's jade pendant and refused to wear it, even forbidding his wife and Chu Haoyu from wearing it.
In Chu Qianceng's eyes, Ye Bufan was insignificant.
It wasn't until later that members of the Yang family arrived. They included ordinary thugs and low-level martial artists, who intended to control the Chu family.
Wang Xinyan, as Chu Mengyao's best friend, ran forward. The low-level martial artist saw this and was about to attack Wang Xinyan.
Unexpectedly, as he punched, the jade pendant on Wang Xinyan's body activated. The low-level martial artist and those around him instantly died.
The same happened with Chu He. Before Chu He could even figure out what was happening, the Yang family members collapsed one after another.
Seeing this, Chu Qianceng ran up to Wang Xinyan to ask for the jade pendant, but Wang Xinyan teased him.
"Why didn't you demonstrate it for them?" Ye Bufan whispered to Wang Xinyan.
Wang Xinyan snorted and said, "There were only twelve of these. You demonstrated one, leaving eleven. I don't want to waste them so easily. You didn't say what to do with the extras, so I've planned it all out. After giving them to the Chu family, I can still keep a few for myself. Then, I can also give some to my parents for protection."
Ye Bufan was stunned when he heard this. He never imagined that Wang Xinyan had such a clever plan.
"Look at Uncle Chu's expression now," Wang Xinyan said to Ye Bufan.
Ye Bufan looked at Chu Qianceng, who was tightly gripping the jade pendant. Seeing Ye Bufan look at him, his face immediately turned red. He avoided Ye Bufan's gaze, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
