Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: Battle of Attrition

The duels between masters often happen in a flash.

In an instant, Yang Chen was surrounded by a silver web.

This silver web was as thin as spider silk, yet it appeared extremely sturdy, flashing with cold light and sharp beyond belief.

In a moment, it enveloped Yang Chen entirely.

Seeing this, someone exclaimed.

"It’s the Deadly Net! The signature technique of the Wu family’s great elder! It’s said that anyone caught in his Deadly Net is doomed to die, completely sliced to pieces!"

"It’s said that back then this Deadly Net was like a sharp blade, with only a dozen strands. But now look, there are so many, and even finer. Seems like the Wu family’s great elder has advanced his cultivation significantly over the years!"

"Yang Chen is finished this time!"

"Little sister, quickly cover your eyes. This scene is going to be too gruesome in a moment."

Some people feigned being gentlemanly, covering the eyes of the women next to them.

The Wu family’s great elder controlled these strands of energy, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes, "I initially wanted to leave you a way out, but now it seems if I don’t destroy you, my Wu family will never have peace! So, you must die!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yang Chenxi and others below clenched their fists when they saw this scene, incredibly tense.

"Die!" The Wu family’s great elder shouted furiously, pulling sharply on the strands of energy, tightening the web abruptly.

Yang Chen snorted coldly, striking out with a palm against the web.

"Overestimating yourself!" To the Wu family’s great elder, Yang Chen was entirely vainly attempting.

His strands were refined over twenty years, incomparably hard, and even powerful attacks would be divided before the strands, unable to harm them in the slightest.

This is why it’s said anyone enveloped by his Deadly Net is doomed.

Up until now, no one has been able to escape from his Deadly Net!

"Haha!" The Wu Clan Leader burst into laughter seeing this scene.

Even the Second Young Master Yun squinted his eyes, feeling a chill for this lethal strike devised by the Wu family’s great elder.

However, just when they thought Yang Chen was doomed.

Bang!

Cling clang clang!

After a muffled sound, a series of wire breaking sounds rang continuously.

The strands circling Yang Chen unexpectedly all snapped!

Though hearing the wire breaking sounds, it was apparent how hard the Wu family’s great elder had refined the strands from his energy!

The Wu family’s great elder, who was extremely confident in his technique, was dumbfounded seeing this scene. The snapped strands recoiled onto his hands, instantly slicing two deep wounds into them, bleeding profusely.

To the wounds on his hands, the Wu family’s great elder seemed to feel nothing, his eyes wide open as he stared at Yang Chen, as if he had seen a ghost.

"This is impossible!" The Wu family’s great elder clearly didn’t believe this scene was real.

These strands of energy he condensed over twenty years, each one incredibly hard, even able to cut through steel knives effortlessly in countless battles, proven that no one could break through the steel wires he had condensed.

But this scene indeed truly happened.

Yang Chen effortlessly intact, even looking at him with a face full of ridicule.

The Wu family’s great elder stepped back two strides, as if struck harshly, appearing dispirited.

"Great elder!" The Wu Clan Leader was shocked seeing this, quickly stepping up to support the staggering great elder.

"This, this absolutely can’t be!" The Wu family’s great elder mumbled in disbelief, looking at his blood-covered hands, his nerves dazed.

"Great elder, are you alright?" The Wu Clan Leader asked worriedly.

After all, the great elder was the pillar for the Wu family; countless enemies then were blocked single-handedly by the great elder, establishing the fame of the Deadly Net’s technique, undefeated.

If anything happened to the great elder, the Wu family would be in danger!

The Wu family’s great elder shook his head slightly, looking at Yang Chen, asking, "Why? How did you break my Deadly Net?"

Yang Chen smiled faintly, "Every substance can be broken with sheer force!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The Wu family’s great elder still didn’t believe it, shaking his head repeatedly, eyes rolling, fainted.

Not knowing whether he fainted from the backlash or from being angered by Yang Chen.

Looking at the fainted great elder, the Wu Clan Leader’s face was grim, nearly dripping water.

This match, he had wagered the entire Wu family!

How could it be lost just like that?

The huge gap left the Wu Clan Leader in a state of silence; he did not even dare to look up at Yang Chen’s eyes.

Others were also dumbfounded.

The Wu family members widened their eyes one by one, looking at Yang Chen on the stage, speechless in surprise.

They never expected it to be like this.

Initially, they were full of confidence, feeling Yang Chen was doomed this time.

But now such a thing happened, making them unable to accept it.

"Wu Clan Leader, did I win now?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.

The Wu Clan Leader looked up at Yang Chen, speechless.

He wanted to deny it, but having previously spoken before all the families, he couldn’t directly deny it, leaving him speechless.

Yang Chen looked at the Wu Clan Leader, sneered coldly, glanced at the Wu family’s direction, and said coldly, "Now, the Wu family should change its surname to Yang!"

"Nonsense!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"We will never admit it!"

"You definitely used tricks to defeat the great elder!"

"Despicable!"

"Vile scoundrel!"

...

The Wu family was in an uproar, shouting angrily.

Because they knew, if the Wu family truly fell under Yang Chen’s control, they would surely meet a tragic end.

Even if they bore the infamy of being untrustworthy, they didn’t want Yang Chen to seize control.

The Second Young Master Yun frowned at this scene, thought for a while, clenched his fist, and shouted angrily, "Quiet down, all of you!"

Everyone froze, looking at the Second Young Master Yun.

The Second Young Master Yun looked at the Wu Clan Leader and said coldly, "A bet is a bet! Among the Nine Venerables of Ancheng, no family can be utterly untrustworthy! Wu Clan Leader, bring them down!"

The Wu Clan Leader furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, sighed, called people up, and carried the great elder away.

Since he was already on this ship, he had no choice left.

However, he absolutely wouldn’t let Yang Chen control the Wu family; even if the great elder failed, he still had the ’foundation’ behind the courtyard of the old castle he could use.

Yang Chen, at this scene, smiled and said, "Third Master Wu, prepare to take over the Wu family!"

"Yes, young master!" Third Master Wu was very excited, responding with a smile.

"Hold on!" a person suddenly shouted.

Yang Chen looked over and saw it was the Ban Clan Leader.

"Yang Chen!" The Ban Clan Leader stepped up, speaking coldly, "Since you’ve settled your feud with the Wu family, now let’s deal with our grievances!"

Yang Chen glared at the Ban Clan Leader, snorted coldly, "Are you preparing for a battle of attrition?"
