Chapter 100: 100: Shameless Siege
When the Wu family members realized what Ye Fei had thrown, they were first shocked and then enraged. They were ready to fight him to the death, but Wu Qingfeng stopped them.
Wu Qingfeng was furious. His grandson, Wu Shiying, had been one of the most talented in the younger generation and a personal favorite of his. Seeing his beloved grandson's lifeless body lying before him filled him with anger.
However, Wu Qingfeng was also cunning. If Ye Fei dared to come here and throw his grandson's body at his feet, he must have had powerful backing. The possibility that Ye Fei might have someone stronger than himself supporting him made Wu Qingfeng hesitant to act rashly.
In a low, measured voice, he asked, "Are you with Autumn or the Liu family?"
After all, it had been under his orders that Wu Shiying had gone to Wanghai, so he quickly deduced that Ye Fei was aligned with one of their enemies.
Ye Fei, growing impatient, replied, "You don't need to know whose side I'm on. Just remember that Wanghai is off-limits to you and your band of scoundrels!"
He had thrown Wu Shiying's body so arrogantly to provoke Wu Qingfeng and test his strength, but he hadn't expected the old man to be so cautious. Now he wanted to irritate him further with insults to force him into action.
As expected, Wu Qingfeng, who had always prided himself on his superiority, could no longer restrain himself after being called a scoundrel. His face darkened, and he growled, "Boy, I'll let you live for now. Go back and tell Autumn that the Wu family will be taking over. And if you're from the Liu family, tell those women that after we deal with Autumn, their turn is next!"
Wu Qingfeng's words weren't just empty threats. His original plan had been to use the Liu family to swallow Autumn and, once financially secure, move on to take over the Liu family itself. In his mind, this would solve the Wu family's financial problems permanently.
Ye Fei had initially only wanted to provoke the old man into a fight, but now, hearing his full plan, he sneered inwardly. So, you're scheming to take everything? In that case, you really have no reason to exist.
"Make your move, boy!" Wu Qingfeng barked. Although they were in his own home, he still wanted to maintain the image of a master, so he wouldn't strike a younger man first.
Seeing that Wu Qingfeng was still posturing, Ye Fei smirked. "You go ahead. If I strike first, you might not have a chance to move again."
Being looked down upon infuriated Wu Qingfeng. His face flushed with anger as he shouted, "Watch yourself, boy!" and launched himself at Ye Fei. Since he had given a warning, it couldn't be considered a sneak attack.
As Wu Qingfeng rushed forward, Ye Fei's expression turned serious. The old man was indeed as formidable as his reputation suggested, far stronger than Wu Shiying. Ye Fei didn't dare to be careless and prepared for a head-on clash.
Wu Qingfeng, noticing Ye Fei's readiness for a direct confrontation, felt a surge of confidence. Though his body was no longer as agile as a younger man's, he was certain his decades of internal strength would give him the edge.
Deciding to end the fight quickly, he suddenly increased his power from eight-tenths to full strength, hoping to crush Ye Fei in their first exchange.
With a resounding "bang," their hands collided with tremendous force. Wu Qingfeng's face flushed as blood rushed to his head, and he was sent flying backward, tumbling through the air several times before landing, his footing unsteady. Ye Fei, meanwhile, stood firmly in place, though inwardly he was surprised.
The old man's strength was almost equal to what Ye Fei had before practicing dual cultivation with his younger sister. It was a reminder that he had underestimated the strength of martial artists in the world. If the legendary leader of the Martial Alliance were to reappear, Ye Fei wasn't sure he could defeat him.
While Ye Fei was surprised, Wu Qingfeng was horrified. In their brief clash, he realized that the young man hadn't been using internal strength but sheer brute force—an indication that Ye Fei practiced external martial arts.
While internal strength could be enhanced by consuming rare treasures, external martial arts had no shortcuts. For someone so young to possess such power from external training was both astonishing and terrifying.
This boy cannot be allowed to live! Wu Qingfeng thought, his heart racing. At such a young age, Ye Fei was already this strong. Given a few more years, he could very well annihilate the entire Wu family by himself.
And after revealing his ambition to conquer the Liu family, Wu Qingfeng knew Ye Fei wouldn't let his family go. He had to kill him today, no matter the cost.
Throwing aside his dignity, Wu Qingfeng shouted, "Everyone, attack! Kill this brat!" Without waiting, he rushed at Ye Fei again, unconcerned about his reputation since there were only Wu family members present.
Seeing over twenty people charging at him, Ye Fei, who had little actual combat experience, felt a wave of panic. Although he was much stronger than Wu Qingfeng, facing this many attackers at once made him uneasy.
He knew that if even two fighters of Wu Qingfeng's caliber ganged up on him, it would be difficult to win. With more than twenty people now rushing him, the situation looked grim.
However, as the fight began, Ye Fei quickly realized he had overestimated the threat. Most of the attackers, though stronger than Wu Shiying, were significantly weaker than Wu Qingfeng. He could handle them for a while. His defensive abilities also gave him an edge; even if he took a few hits, they had little effect. As long as he avoided direct blows from Wu Qingfeng, he would be fine.
Within moments, over twenty moves had been exchanged. Ye Fei concentrated his energy on fending off Wu Qingfeng, dodging or blocking the others as needed. With his body being nearly invulnerable to bullets, the strikes from the others were barely a nuisance.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, Ye Fei grew more proficient with his techniques. Eventually, most of the Wu family members couldn't even land a blow on him.
Wu Qingfeng, noticing the martial techniques Ye Fei was using, recognized their origin. While attacking ferociously, he shouted in disbelief, "Are you from the Liu family?!"
However, he struggled to accept it. The Liu family's martial arts, though formidable, were not know
n for producing someone as powerful and abnormal as Ye Fei.
