Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 693: Ye Yunfeng’s Trump Card

Xu Ke was both intimidated by Wong Qifu's display of power and delighted by it. Given the circumstances, Ye Yunfeng's threat was no longer something to fear. The reason was simple.

On the other battlefield, after witnessing Wong Qifu's brilliant performance, Chen Xiong no longer rushed over. Instead, he turned back to join the fight against Ye Liang and the others. The battered and bruised Yin-Yang Elders immediately retreated, letting Chen Xiong take over for them. They were the weakest of the group, with only Innate Late Stage cultivation. The fact that they had avoided serious injury was a miracle in itself. Now, they had no choice but to focus on recovering their strength.

Even without the Yin-Yang Elders, and despite being under immense pressure, Chen Xiong's group maintained a balance of power because their opponents were also continuously dying one or two at a time. Moreover, Xu Ke believed this balance would soon be broken. When it was, Ye Liang and his men would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and collapse like a landslide!

This was apparent not only to Xu Ke's group but to Ye Yunfeng as well. Enduring the pain, Ye Yunfeng grimaced as he pulled out the dagger Wong Qifu had plunged into his stomach. Blood gushed from the wound, but the flow was quickly enveloped and sealed by his Demonic Qi.

Ye Yunfeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "I underestimated you," he said darkly to Wong Qifu.

"So, how do you plan on sending me to see my parents?" Wong Qifu asked nonchalantly, deciding to trade barbs just as Xu Ke had. She was in no hurry to confront Ye Yunfeng. For one, dragging things out was to their advantage; they might be able to defeat Ye Yunfeng without any further bloodshed. For another, she worried that if she moved too far away, Lin Qinghua wouldn't be able to protect the weakened Xu Ke.

"Don't get cocky. I was just careless," Ye Yunfeng scoffed.

Wong Qifu replied, "You're lacking in your Martial Path accomplishments, but you're certainly skilled at making excuses!"

"Heh, Wong Qifu, do you really think you've beaten me?" Ye Yunfeng said venomously.

Wong Qifu countered, "Isn't it obvious? That cultivation you stole by murdering your own kin—how long can you really use it?"

At her words, Ye Yunfeng's breathing grew ragged with anger, and anxiety gnawed at his heart. The situation is just as she said. I can't wait much longer. If I can't deal with Wong Qifu quickly, it'll be all over for me once the others finish off the rest of the Ye Family. But judging from our brief exchange, defeating her quickly is impossible right now. I have two choices. I could flee, but in this modern world, I can't just vanish. With the search capabilities of the five great families and the Tianhai Martial Alliance, where could I possibly go? The only other option is to seek a new source of power. If I can just temporarily reach the Half-Step Peak realm, these people will be no threat at all!

With this thought, his first instinct was Ye Taiqing. No. He's only severely injured, not helpless. If I move against him, I won't be able to kill and absorb him instantly.

However, as Ye Yunfeng dismissed that possibility, his pupils constricted. An idea flashed through his mind. There's one more person… As the thought surfaced, his instincts screamed in protest. The last shred of his humanity forbade it. But his rational mind told him that if he didn't do it, there was no chance of escaping this alive.

Having reached this conclusion, Ye Yunfeng finally shed the last of his humanity.

"If that's how it is, then I'll kill you first, and then Xu Ke, before this power I've taken fades! The two of you can be buried together!" Ye Yunfeng roared, raising his head.

The aura within his body shot skyward once more like a rocket, his Demonic Qi billowing out in all directions. As he fully unleashed his power, which was just a hair's breadth from the Half-Step Peak realm, everyone on the back mountain of the Ye Family estate couldn't help but tremble in fear.

"Be careful!" Xu Ke yelled. He worried that Wong Qifu might have let her guard down after successfully wounding Ye Yunfeng. A desperate man's fighting power can be terrifying. If Ye Yunfeng goes all out, his speed will be too much for anyone here to react to…

But just as Xu Ke worried for Wong Qifu, she worried for him. "Protect yourself!" she shouted back.

Her words stunned Xu Ke. In the next second, the Demonic Qi within Wong Qifu also surged skyward. Her aura, like a siege spear aimed at a fortress gate, crashed toward Ye Yunfeng with earth-shattering force.

Just as everyone present mentally prepared for Ye Yunfeng to go all out, he suddenly spun around and rushed toward the Ye Family members behind him.

Everyone was stunned by the move. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"He's trying to escape!" Xu Ke, shocked for a moment, immediately bellowed, "Yin-Yang Elders, use your sonic attack to stop him!"

Wong Qifu's pupils constricted, but she wasn't surprised. I knew he might try to flee. She immediately gave chase, trying to intercept him. She could afford to stall for time, but she couldn't just stand by and watch him escape.

However, Ye Yunfeng was already prepared for her. Hearing Wong Qifu rush after him, he didn't even turn his head, simply lashing out with a bolt of Demonic Qi that shot straight for Xu Ke. Seeing this, Wong Qifu's expression changed drastically. Unable to ignore the attack, she had no choice but to abandon her pursuit of Ye Yunfeng and forcefully change direction to block the bolt of Demonic Qi. As for the Yin-Yang Elders' feeble sonic attack, it failed to slow him in the slightest. In that moment, Ye Yunfeng reached Ye Chong's side.

"Damn it!" Curses erupted from the onlookers. If Ye Yunfeng actually escaped, things would become incredibly complicated.

Ye Chong, who was already trembling from the turn of events, saw his father arrive and cried out with a mixture of surprise and excitement, "Dad, are we escaping?"

I wanted to run from the very beginning. It's better to live like a stray dog than to die. Especially after his father's power surge was still met with potential defeat, his resolve to escape had solidified. Now, seeing Ye Yunfeng at his side, Ye Chong's first thought was that his father was going to take him and flee from Tianhai. The others all came to the same conclusion: a cornered Ye Yunfeng was running to his son, intending to escape with his only flesh and blood.

"Yes." Ye Yunfeng's hand gripped Ye Chong's shoulder, but his eyes were utterly devoid of emotion.

"Then let's hurry!" Ye Chong was thrilled. With our cultivation, where couldn't we go to make a comeback? But when he saw Wong Qifu resuming her pursuit, he cried out in terror, "Dad, watch out!"

"There's no need to be careful anymore," Ye Yunfeng said blandly. Again, without turning his head, he flung another bolt of Demonic Qi at the pursuing Wong Qifu.

"Run!" Seeing Wong Qifu blocked, Ye Chong thought the timing was perfect. He immediately grabbed Ye Yunfeng and turned to flee.

As Ye Yunfeng watched his son's retreating back, a flicker of memory pierced his indifferent gaze. For a fleeting moment, he saw a vision of his young children playing in the Ye Family Mansion. That was from a long time ago, before they had moved to the back mountain. It had been a beautiful time.

Then, he raised his hand and, without a shred of hesitation, shattered Ye Chong's neck.

BANG!

The violent energy instantly shattered Ye Chong's spine and hips. Blood splattered all over Ye Yunfeng.

Ye Chong's body, which had been frantically trying to pull his father forward, went limp and collapsed. In the moment he fell, his eyes were still filled with panic and worry, along with a trace of disbelief that never fully registered.

The entire scene fell into a dead silence.
