Not only Ye Zhu, but also the inner disciples of the Piaomiao Sect, including Liu He, were also worried about Ye Chen.
If it's reasonable, Ye Chen might be able to get away with it!
But the Phantom Gate assassins are all cruel desperadoes. They want to scare the other party by pretending to be powerful, just like a scholar meeting a soldier. There is no reason to explain!
"This kid is dead!"
Before the butcher's knife struck, everyone seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Ye Chen being hacked to death.
However……
"Dare you try to attack her again?"
Ye Chen was still calm and calm. When he said this, he folded his hands on his chest and his eyes were calm as usual.
However, the butcher's knife on the opposite side really stopped in his tracks.
After looking at Ye Chen for a moment, he didn't have any extra words to say and just waved his hand, "Let's go!"
After that, he was the first to retreat deep into the canyon.
Several assassins who were besieging Liuhe also retreated one after another.
The speed was so fast that he disappeared from everyone's sight in just a moment.
The scene was quiet!
Everyone stared at all this with wide eyes and disbelief.
Ye Chen is not dead?
The butcher's knife, which has always been ruthless, actually retreated in such a dejected manner?
what is happening?
Although no one said it out loud, everyone's mind was filled with such questions.
Especially Yu Yezhu, who had just been on the verge of death, felt extremely unreal.
She was even ready to close her eyes and wait for death.
I originally thought that Ye Chen would be cut in half by a butcher's knife, and then kill himself.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen just said, "How dare you try to attack her again?" Butu Dao was frightened away.
It’s simply baffling!
"Why are you still dazed?"
Just when she was lost in thought, Ye Chen's voice came to her ears, "Everyone has left, are you still going to sit on the ground like this?"
Yu Yezhu woke up from a dream, stood up forcibly, and asked many questions at once.
"who are you?"
"Why did the butcher's knife retreat like that?"
"Why is this happening?"
"how did you do it?"
…
Facing these questions, Ye Chen suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Do you want him to say that Butu Dao was so frightened that he retreated because he recognized his identity as the current master of the Phantom Sect?
Although Tu Dao's status in the Phantom Gate headquarters is not high, he had followed Saint Xue Wuhen before and had met him several times.
Especially when he forced his way into the Phantom Sect headquarters and became the new sect leader, Tu Dao was also present. How could he not recognize himself as the new sect leader?
And this is also the reason why Butcher chose to retreat!
No matter why he wants to keep Yu Yezhu, but based on his identity, Butcher Dao wouldn’t dare to disobey him!
"You're not trying to scare away the butcher's knife again, are you?"
Liu He walked over and looked at Ye Chen in surprise.
The other dozen or so people from the Piaomiao Sect looked at Ye Chen as if they were looking at a monster.
If it were someone else, they would be more accepting.
But a Phantom Gate assassin like Tu Dao was actually scared away by Ye Chen's words.
The thing that puzzled them the most was that Ye Chen hadn't made a long speech about who he could rely on or what his mysterious identity was. It was just a simple threat!
"That's right!"
Facing Liu He's question, Ye Chen responded ambiguously.
"Is it really true?"
"It can't be that outrageous, right?"
"Isn't this too ridiculous?"
"Who is Butcher's Sword? He is a notoriously vicious assassin from the Phantom Sect, but he is actually fooled?"
Hearing Ye Chen admit it, everyone felt it was funny and incredible.
But Yu Yezhu was still half-convinced and said: "Last time in Luochuan City, you tried to scare the mysterious man with your own tricks, but what about this time? Why is the butcher's knife afraid of you just by your threatening words?"
"Maybe it's because my acting skills are too superb!"
In order to dispel these people's doubts, Ye Chen patiently explained.
In other words, as long as you pretend to be able to defeat the opponent through your movements and demeanor, and then act mysterious and domineering, the opponent will automatically associate it with you.
And if the other person can think of a scary person who corresponds to him, he will subconsciously follow his lead.
As for Butcher, although he has a vicious reputation, he is probably not the kind of reckless man who doesn't know how to watch his words.
This test turned out to be very effective!
Of course, to do this, you need to have superb acting skills.
After hearing this, everyone was in awe.
"It seems that acting is one of them, and courage is also very important!"
"Yes, if you meet a reckless man, wouldn't he chop you with one knife?"
"Although the butcher's knife was successfully frightened away, it is better to use this despicable method less often in the future!"
"I thought you were some big shot, but it seems I've thought too much!"
"Luckily we know everything about you, otherwise we might have been deceived by you too!"
As everyone gradually became convinced, their attitude toward Ye Chen began to change from curiosity and awe to disdain and contempt.
Although it was true that Ye Chen had scared off the butcher's knife just now, he was just a charlatan after all, and was not worthy of their eyes at all.
Only Yu Yezhu kept pestering Ye Chen, and his gratitude was beyond words.
Originally, Liu He's hostility towards Ye Chen had faded a bit, but when he saw Yu Yezhu clinging to Ye Chen's side with a look of admiration, the jealousy in his heart gradually took over again.
However, he did not have an attack. He just urged: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Leave here first. When Bao Gan comes back, we can ask what happened!"
…
After leaving Despair Canyon, everyone quickly arrived at an inn.
This is the meeting place they agreed on before!
Everyone didn't wait long before Bao Gan, who had sneaked into the Phantom Gate, came back.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Why did the butcher's knife suddenly retreat with you?"
Although Ye Chen had already said it before, Bao Gan was their fellow disciple, so he naturally needed confirmation from the other party.
"This... Butcher's knife didn't say anything!"
Bao Gan shook his head and said in confusion: "He just wants us to be careful in the future!"
"That's it?" Liu He was unwilling to accept it and continued to ask: "Didn't he explain the reason for his retreat?"
"No!"
Bao Gan shook his head and looked at Ye Chen, who was studying his nails not far away, "Who are you?"
"He, haha..."
Before Ye Chen could answer, Liu He laughed loudly and then repeated what Ye Chen had said before.
After hearing this, Bao Gan opened his mouth in shock, "Is this... okay?"
"We didn't believe it before, but other than that, what other explanation do you think there is?" Liu He shrugged.
"Don't you always look at Ye Chen with such contempt, okay?"
Yu Yezhu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said angrily: "Even if he is just pretending to be powerful, but he saved us, is this true?"
No one answered. Those who looked at the ceiling looked at the ceiling, and those who looked out the window looked out the window.
"you……"
The more Yu Yezhu looked, the angrier he became. He stamped his feet and pulled Ye Chen up, "Forget it, let's go. We have nothing to say to these people!"
Ye Chen did not refuse and followed Yu Yezhu outside.
The reason why he went with Liu He and others was just to see how these people lured the butcher's knife.
As for saving Yu Yezhu at the critical moment, it was also because the other party had always been on his side.
Now that the matter has come to an end, Yu Yezhu will leave even if he doesn't say anything.
Of course, the reason why he waited until now was just to see what Nian Baogan would say when he came back.
"No way, Junior Sister Yu actually holds his hand?"
"This bastard who is just looking for fame, how could he be so worthy that he allows junior sister Yu to be so close to him?"
Everyone was very angry.
Especially for Bao Gan, whom Ye Zhu has been secretly in love with for a long time, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Boy, since you are bent on seeking death, you can't blame me!"
I thought this in my mind and quickly put it into action.
He now has two identities, an inner disciple of the Piaomiao Sect and an assassin of the Phantom Sect.
Even if he couldn't attack Ye Chen openly, he could still use the Phantom Gate to get rid of Ye Chen.
If it had been before, he might not have dared to take action, but after learning that Ye Chen was a liar who pretended to be very powerful, he had nothing to worry about.
