The moon rose over Dongshan, and it was another quiet night.
In Yunzhou City, the Yunzhou army had been resting for several hours. Only Lao Huang, Zhang Zhi, Zhao Yun, and Xu Da were still waiting for Ye Chen.
After waiting for several hours without any sign of Ye Chen, Lao Huang said, “It seems the Prince intends to stay at Li Family Village a little longer. We should go rest first.”
Just as everyone was about to leave, a carrier pigeon flew in from the direction of Yunzhou Mountain, carrying a message on its leg.
Lao Huang immediately perked up, recognizing it as Ye Chen’s carrier pigeon message, and quickly opened the note.
The note, which had a hint of blood on it, had only five hurried words: “Hurry to Black Water Village.”
“The Prince has attacked Black Water Village!”
Upon seeing this order, Lao Huang immediately told Zhang Zhi, Zhao Yun, and Xu Da, “Quick, assemble the troops to support the Prince!”
In an instant, the quiet streets of Yunzhou City erupted into activity. As soon as they heard that the Prince was calling them to Black Water Village, everyone gathered with great urgency, as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. They assembled quickly.
Soon, all five thousand Yunzhou soldiers were fully equipped and set off towards Black Water Village.
They were full of enthusiasm, eager to rush in and crush Black Water Village, just as they had with Black Wind Village.
In the dead of night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, the Yunzhou army quickly arrived at the foot of Black Water Village. However, they found the village already engulfed in flames, with sounds of battle and screams filling the air. The thick smell of blood permeated even from several hundred meters away.
Lao Huang and the others frowned. Could Black Water Village have been attacked?
Then they heard a “bang” as the gates of Black Water Village were kicked open. Numerous bandits from Black Water Village scrambled out in panic.
“Run, he’s a demon!”
“Don’t block me!”
“He’s coming, he’s coming!”
…
The bandits from Black Water Village scattered in all directions, and the Yunzhou army was still unsure what had happened.
At this moment, a roar like that of a true dragon echoed through the mountains:
“Is there anyone else?”
…
Half an hour earlier.
Ye Chen had just revealed his identity in the main hall, and everyone was startled.
The commander of the Yunzhou army, the Seventh Prince of the Chu Kingdom, Ye Chen, had now arrived at their stronghold.
Big Boss Hu grabbed a nearby long knife and quickly advanced, attacking Ye Chen.
“Damn it, die!”
Ye Chen, unfazed, sidestepped and then kicked Big Boss Hu in the chin, sending him flying.
Big Boss Hu’s brother, who had just recovered, angrily said, “You little bastard, how dare you attack the boss. Brothers, attack!”
Immediately, dozens of people in the hall surged forward, wielding weapons and rushing towards Ye Chen, especially the dark-faced one, who was particularly fierce.
However, as they all thought victory was assured, Ye Chen, bare-handed, transformed his palms into blades, gathering strength in his abdomen, and when everyone got close, he roared:
“Four-Sided Slash!”
Ye Chen’s hand emitted a powerful blade aura that spread out in all directions. The blade energy sliced through every person in its path, cleaving them in two.
Instantly, screams filled the hall as each person was split into two halves. Some didn’t even realize their upper and lower halves had been separated.
In a mere instant, the entire high command of Black Water Village in the hall had been eliminated by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took out another carrier pigeon and, using the blood on the floor, wrote: “Hurry to Black Water Village,” then fled the main hall with the pigeon.
At this moment, Ye Chen had entered his battle frenzy state. He kicked open the gate with a “bang.”
The loud noise attracted all the bandits around, who noticed the main hall was empty except for Ye Chen.
“He killed the boss, brothers, attack!”
In an instant, bandits from all directions surged towards Ye Chen like a tidal wave.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed, and his knife descended repeatedly, instantly killing several bandits.
But more and more bandits continued to attack Ye Chen madly.
When enough bandits had gathered around, Ye Chen executed another Four-Sided Slash, causing screams and blood mist to fill the air.
In the dense crowd of bandits, a blood-red flower blossomed, radiant and dazzling.
With Ye Chen’s strength, the number of enemies was no longer a threat. Ye Chen continued to advance, wielding his knife and picking up another one when the first broke, unstoppable.
Bandits inside Black Water Village, unable to see clearly, found Ye Chen rapidly advancing. Before they could even raise their weapons to defend, Ye Chen would cut them in half!
Gradually, the bandits, seeing Ye Chen, fled in panic, disregarding their fallen comrades. They trampled over each other in their haste to escape Ye Chen.
By the time they reached the gates of Black Water Village, the gate had been deformed by the mass of fleeing bandits, and even with the gate bolt removed, it wouldn’t open.
“Smash the gate open!”
Some began shouting, and then everyone charged the gate together.
Bang, bang, bang!
After several impacts, the gate was finally broken, and the bandits rushed out like a released flood.
Ye Chen pursued relentlessly, killing any bandit he could see without mercy.
Seeing that the remaining thousands of bandits had all fled through the gate, Ye Chen roared angrily, “Is there anyone else?”
The roar was deafening, like a true dragon in the world, shaking everyone’s soul.
The Yunzhou army outside the village, hearing this sound, knew that Ye Chen had slaughtered his way through Black Water Village, and their morale surged once again.
Lao Huang immediately shouted, “Brothers, kill them all!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
In an instant, the Yunzhou army engaged with Black Water Village’s bandits. With the bandits in a state of collapse, the Yunzhou army, brimming with strength, rushed forward, eager to flatten Black Water Village!
To some, this was no longer a battle but a one-sided massacre.
It was the absolute suppression of Black Water Village by the Yunzhou army of five thousand, a stunning advantage achieved by Ye Chen!
