Chapter 99: The Falcon's Trap

Ye Chen's most powerful card had become his enemy's trump card.

Who was secretly behind this trap?

Lu Junzhuo?

When did he contact Jiang Xiaoyue?

With the offensive of so many experts at the [Mystical] level, even if they were only at the initial level, it was enough to wear him down to death.

Ye Chen had no way out.

After quickly fighting off the two men, he took a black pill from his arms, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

This pill could temporarily elevate his combat strength to the [Earth] level for a short period!

Only with this could he attempt to escape.

This was originally one of his trump cards; he had planned to save this pill for facing Lu Junzhuo.

Now, without having seen Lu Junzhuo, he had already used almost all his cards.

This caused him great frustration, and his fury was reflected in each of his attacks; his strikes became even deadlier.

Every blow he delivered aimed directly at the vital points of his opponents.

Those who dared to attack him had to pay the price in blood.

In just a moment, two experts at the [Mystical] level were killed by him on the spot.

His relentless attack terrified everyone.

This guy was truly a ferocious beast with a ruthless nature.

The more intense the fight became, the more they feared letting him escape.

If they let him go, he would come back in the future to take revenge one by one, bringing endless trouble.

The battle became more intense, and in just three minutes, Ye Chen killed eight more people.

Meanwhile, he had also sustained several injuries.

Realizing that staying there meant putting his life in danger, Ye Chen repelled two attackers and prepared to escape.

With his strength temporarily elevated to the [Earth] level, if he managed to break the encirclement and ran away, those people would not be able to catch him.

Moreover, two women were waiting for him outside.

Just as he was about to break through the encirclement and escape successfully, a hunchbacked middle-aged man jumped and kicked him in the chest.

The man moved with incredible speed, like a venomous snake waiting for an opportunity.

Although Ye Chen was prepared, he still received the kick and was thrown back into the crowd.

He tasted metal in his throat as a wave of blood surged into his mouth.

After forcefully swallowing the blood, he got up and glared at the hunchbacked man with fury.

"Lu Junzhuo!"

Upon being identified, Lu Junzhuo was not surprised at all.

Compared to the useless ones from the Su Hang families, his strength at the peak of the [Mystical] level was too evident.

It was impossible to hide it.

After removing his facial mask, his joints began to crack like popping corn.

In a short time, his figure returned to normal.

With a wicked smile on his face, he looked at Ye Chen and said, "Brother, how can a Dragon King flee?"

"You cunning bastard, are you the one who set up this trap?" Ye Chen asked resentfully.

Lu Junzhuo only smiled faintly and did not respond, though he was also somewhat confused in his heart.

He couldn't understand what was happening today.

After the last injury, he had a stroke of luck and partially unlocked an acupuncture point.

Moreover, his martial arts technique was somewhat special, and in just a few days, he not only recovered but also increased his strength.

When he learned that Ye Chen would come to the grand martial arts tournament, he initially thought to see what this loser wanted to do.

He didn't expect Ye Chen to get into trouble with so many people and decided to intervene to hit a fallen dog.

"Then, die."

Ye Chen knew that Lu Junzhuo was trying to buy time, waiting for the pill's effect to wear off before facing him.

Once the effect wore off, he might not be able to show [Mystical] level strength in a short time.

So he wouldn't be stupid enough to sit and wait for death.

He had to kill Lu Junzhuo and get out of that hellish place.

With a shout, Ye Chen and Lu Junzhuo began to fight.

At that moment, one of them relied on the [Earth] level strength provided by the pill but was already injured in several places.

The other, whose strength was just below the [Earth] level, made them evenly matched in combat.

The fight became even more intense, with Ye Chen taking the lead in attacks.

Lu Junzhuo was not in a hurry to fight to the death; he only needed to delay Ye Chen.

Some tried to help Lu Junzhuo take revenge on the worms Ye Chen had dealt with.

But the difference in strength was too great, and those who joined the fight quickly died.

Seeing this, people began to withdraw from the stage, leaving them to fight in peace.

At that moment, Wenren Yage's face was pale and blood was dripping from her mouth.

She was also quite injured, but Jiang Xiaoyue was by her side to heal her.

"Miss Wenren, please sit and rest here. Don't move or you'll aggravate your internal injuries."

Seeing the murderous look in Wenren Yage's eyes, Jiang Xiaoyue quickly reminded her.

"Alright."

Wenren Yage, with a resentful expression, looked at Lu Junzhuo.

Killing Ye Chen was a request from Tang Yu.

But Lu Junzhuo was her mortal enemy.

Since he appeared here today, no matter what, he definitely had to be eliminated!

The other ancient experts watched the fight on stage with complicated expressions.

The two fighters were completely frantic; they could only see two shadows constantly clashing.

Ye Chen was on the offensive.

Due to the limitations of the pill's effect, he had to attack aggressively to try to kill Lu Junzhuo quickly and escape.

Lu Junzhuo, initially more focused on defense, had to switch to offense due to his severe injuries.

After Ye Chen broke two of his ribs with a punch, Lu Junzhuo returned the favor with a punch to the chest.

Both retreated three meters, and Lu Junzhuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a cold smile.

"How many more minutes can you hold on?"

"Your mother knows the answer better."

Ye Chen shouted before launching himself into the attack again. The two faced off with renewed fury.

This time, both were more intense.

After fighting each other for a minute, they exchanged more than a hundred punches.

Lu Junzhuo, hit in the chest by Ye Chen, was thrown back several meters and spat out a large amount of blood.

He cursed inwardly; this guy was really willing to finish them both off. Was he planning to die with him?

Just as he fell to the ground, a figure jumped onto the stage and, with lightning speed, threw several consecutive punches at Lu Junzhuo.

The person who intervened was none other than Tang Yu.

His timing for this move was very opportune.

His attack was so timely that Lu Junzhuo didn't even have time to defend and was thrown back to the ground.

After rolling several times on the ground, he spat out a large amount of blood and looked at Tang Yu with a terrified expression.

Why is this guy here?

Tang Yu, after his successful ambush, turned his wrist and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Finally, you brothers are reunited. Are you surprised? Is it unexpected?"

During these days, he had specifically planned to keep Ye Chen there.

He didn't expect Lu Junzhuo, hiding to recover, to appear and confront Ye Chen.

Killing two birds with one stone; eliminating these two brothers at once was an excellent opportunity.

Ye Chen and Lu Junzhuo finally understood.

Both thought they were hunters, but they didn't realize that Tang Yu, the hawk, had already been secretly stalking them.

Now both of their conditions were extremely poor.

One had the pill's effect about to wear off, and the other had six broken ribs.

"So this plan today is also your trap?"

Ye Chen looked at Tang Yu resentfully.

He never imagined that this loser would dare to conspire against him and Lu Junzhuo!

Tang Yu simply let out a light laugh, not answering that somewhat stupid question.

Lu Junzhuo was also extremely resentful.

He originally planned to ambush Ye Chen but ended up being manipulated by Tang Yu.

Feeling genuinely threatened by death, he could only temporarily make a truce with Ye Chen and say:

"Should we work together to deal with this guy?"

In their current state, if they wanted to escape, they could only use this guy as a hostage.

"Okay."

After Ye Chen responded, he turned around and ran out of the ring, stepping on the heads of several people as he quickly escaped.

The effect of his medicine would only last less than two minutes.

If he stayed longer, he would surely die; Lu Junzhuo clearly wanted to use him as bait!

Seeing Ye Chen escape first, Lu Junzhuo also got up and wanted to follow him.

"Don't let him escape."

Tang Yu ordered and jumped out of the ring to chase after Ye Chen.

Today, neither of them would escape.

In fact, Tang Yu didn't even need to say that; how could Wenren Yage stand by and watch Lu Junzhuo, gravely injured, escape?

With a wave of her hand, the ancient martial artists from the Wenren family rushed in to mercilessly strike the fallen enemy.
