Chapter 1704: Break His Legs and Throw Him Out!

"Blind? Pah! You're the one who's blind!"

Jian Yu flew into a rage upon hearing this. This fellow was cursing him to go blind!

Ye Yuan certainly wasn't cursing him; it was just that Jian Yu's art of observing qi was indeed lacking.

If it were someone like Jian Zhentao, just one glance at him would surely blind him.

Precisely because his strength was insufficient, he couldn't see through Ye Yuan's true depth, making it appear as if Ye Yuan had no rank at all.

The same went for that little girl's father.

Ye Yuan glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "I'm telling fortunes here. If you want a fortune told, get in line. If not, get lost. Don't jump around here being disgusting."

Jian Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Kid, telling fortunes here violates my prohibition! Do you dare to oppose my Jian family?"

Ye Yuan laughed upon hearing this and said, "Prohibition? Which prohibition says I can't tell fortunes here?"

Jian Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at the little girl, and said, "Xiaoran... how about you tell him what the consequences will be?"

Ye Yuan frowned and looked at the little girl curiously.

Ran'er, like a startled rabbit, turned pale, pitiful to behold.

Seeing Ye Yuan's inquiring gaze, Ran'er sobbed, "S-sir, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! You... you should leave quickly, or else... or else they'll break your legs! Young Master Jian Yu warned us father and daughter that if anyone tells fortunes here, they'll break their legs."

Jian Yu said smugly, "Kid, did you hear that? Don't blame me; blame Xiaoran! Go on, break this kid's legs!"

A dozen underlings cracked their knuckles and surrounded them.

Around them, the crowd watched with expressions of pity.

"Alas, this kid is unlucky to have provoked Jian Yu, that demon."

"Xiaoran is also unfortunate. Those father and daughter have been driven to a dead end!"

"Who would have thought that Jian Yu, that demon, would take a fancy to Xiaoran? What sin has she committed!"

...

Clearly, everyone was deeply wary of this Jian Yu.

Just then, a figure suddenly dashed out, charging straight at Jian Yu!

"Jian Yu, I, Zhang Haotian, will fight you to the death! Even if I die, I won't give Xiaoran to you!"

This was so sudden that no one reacted, giving Jian Yu a great scare.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure blocked Jian Yu and sent Zhang Haotian flying with a single punch.

Zhang Haotian fell to the ground, coughing up blood profusely.

Zhang Haotian was only at the Second Heaven of Divine Lord, and one of his legs was already crippled.

Jian Yu's underlings were at least at the First Heaven of Divine Lord; how could Zhang Haotian be a match?

Seeing this, Ye Yuan couldn't help but frown.

He had roughly figured out the whole story.

Jian Yu had taken a fancy to Zhang Xiaoran's beauty and wanted to possess her, but Zhang Haotian and Zhang Xiaoran refused.

So Jian Yu forbade the father and daughter from setting up their stall here, but didn't outright harass them, instead making a rule that anyone who came to tell fortunes would be beaten.

With no means of livelihood, the father and daughter would naturally have to give in.

Unwilling to accept this, Zhang Xiaoran took advantage of Jian Yu's absence to pull Ye Yuan over for a fortune reading.

She didn't know that Jian Yu had planted informants everywhere; as soon as Ye Yuan sat down, he knew.

Ye Yuan, completely baffled, was thus inexplicably drawn into this farce.

"Zhang Haotian, you're asking for death! You lot, first break this kid's legs, then take the father and daughter away!" Jian Yu roared in fury.

"Yes!" A group of underlings acknowledged, charging at Ye Yuan with menacing glares.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Tianping, cripple them all and throw them out!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Ning Tianping acknowledged, and the aura of a Divine Lord at the Fifth Heaven suddenly burst forth, causing everyone's expression to change.

Ye Yuan had not wanted to be too conspicuous upon entering the city, so he had told Ning Tianping to conceal his aura.

Jian Yu, seeing Ning Tianping's strength as unremarkable, had acted so arrogantly.

How could he have imagined that Ning Tianping, though young, was already at the Divine Lord Fifth Heaven!

Over the years, following Ye Yuan, Ning Tianping's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had long broken through to the Divine Lord Fifth Heaven.

Once he made his move, how could these family guards, who were only at the early stage of the Divine Lord realm, stand a chance?

Screams of agony filled the air, and the entire street instantly descended into chaos.

Ning Tianping did not kill anyone, but he broke the legs of every single one.

The family guards lay on the ground, wailing in misery.

The onlookers were all stunned.

"What background does this young man have, to be accompanied by a Divine Lord Fifth Heaven attendant!"

"How ridiculous! This young man's luck is so poor that he hasn't even entered a rank—he's a complete waste—yet he has a Divine Lord Fifth Heaven by his side!"

"I'm afraid he and his family don't even know it? Coming to the Extreme Light Imperial City this time, he's likely to show his true colors."

……

While marveling at Ning Tianping's strength, the stall owners also grew curious about Ye Yuan's identity.

Many secretly channeled their divine essence to observe Ye Yuan's fortune, and found it indeed as still as an ancient well, without even a ripple stirring.

Not even ranked!

"Sir, what should we do with this fellow?" Ning Tianping asked with great composure.

Jian Yu's face had already turned pale; he had never expected to hit such a hard target this time!

"How dare you touch me? I am a member of the Jian family! Laying a hand on me is like provoking the Jian family—think about the consequences!" Though frightened, Jian Yu's backbone stiffened at the thought of the Jian family's power.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ning Tianping immediately showed hesitation.

They had come here seeking help from the Jian family; offending them would be hard to resolve.

Reading his expression, Jian Yu said smugly to Ning Tianping, "Kid, you're pretty strong. From now on, stick with me, and you'll have a much brighter future than with that waste! I'm telling you responsibly, that guy is a complete waste not even ranked!"

Hearing this, Ning Tianping's face took on a strange expression.

If the master was a waste, then everyone in this world would be dregs.

He laughed scornfully, "You fool, your art of observing qi is really lacking! When you've cultivated enough to observe the master, you'll understand why he said your eyes aren't blind!"

Just then, Ye Yuan said calmly, "What are you waiting for? Break his legs and throw him out! Enough of his noise here!"

Jian Yu's face changed drastically at this, and he said, "You... you dare? You... think about the consequences! Those who touch the Jian family never end well!"

Ye Yuan said flatly, "With your meager strength, you think you represent the Jian family? Then the Jian family truly has no one! Tianping, do it!"

"Yes, sir!"

With Ye Yuan's order, Ning Tianping hesitated no longer. He dashed over and, in a few swift moves, broke both of Jian Yu's legs.

"Ah! Kid, you'll regret this! Ah!" On the street, Jian Yu's miserable screams rang out.
