Rebirth Immortal-Chapter 44: The Battle in the Underground City

Scarlet Wolf's fists roared with dark energy as he charged straight at Ye Chen. His movement was swift, leaving behind a faint afterimage as his powerful punch shot forward.

Boom!

Ye Chen's expression remained calm. He lifted his hand and met the attack head-on. Their fists collided, sending a powerful shockwave through the air. The ground beneath them cracked, and dust exploded in all directions.

Scarlet Wolf's eyes narrowed in surprise. His strength was enough to crush a peak martial artist, yet Ye Chen had stopped him so easily?

"You have some skill." Scarlet Wolf smirked and took a step back. "But let's see how long you can last!"

He twisted his body and unleashed a barrage of punches, each one filled with terrifying force. The air trembled as the attacks came at Ye Chen like a raging storm.

Ye Chen dodged effortlessly, his body moving like flowing water. With a flicker of movement, he sidestepped Scarlet Wolf's attacks, his sharp eyes analyzing every opening.

Lin Xia and Zhao Ming stood a few steps away, fending off the assassins. Zhao Ming's sword danced through the air, cutting down enemies one by one, while Lin Xia used her agility to dodge and counter with precise strikes.

"This guy is strong," Zhao Ming muttered, glancing at Ye Chen and Scarlet Wolf's intense battle.

Lin Xia clenched her fists. "Ye Chen can handle it. We just need to make sure no one interferes."

Scarlet Wolf grew impatient. No matter how fast he attacked, Ye Chen avoided everything. It was like trying to hit a ghost.

"Enough of this!" Scarlet Wolf roared.

He suddenly slammed his foot into the ground, causing the stone floor to crack apart. A surge of energy burst from his body, and his muscles expanded slightly. His aura grew heavier, filled with killing intent.

"This is my true strength!" Scarlet Wolf's voice was deep and menacing. His body flickered as he reappeared in front of Ye Chen, his fist aiming directly at Ye Chen's chest.

This punch was different. It carried the force of a mountain, and the air around it distorted from sheer power.

Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold light. He raised his hand and caught Scarlet Wolf's fist.

Boom!

A massive force exploded between them, shaking the entire warehouse. Dust and debris flew everywhere. The assassins who were still fighting Lin Xia and Zhao Ming stumbled as the impact hit them.

Scarlet Wolf's expression twisted in shock. "Impossible! No one has ever stopped that punch!"

Ye Chen smirked. "Then I'll show you something even more impossible."

Before Scarlet Wolf could react, Ye Chen's other hand shot forward like a lightning strike. His fingers curled into a fist, and a terrifying force erupted from his knuckles.

Bang!

Ye Chen's punch landed directly on Scarlet Wolf's stomach. The impact sent him flying backward like a broken kite. He crashed into the stone wall with a loud boom, causing cracks to spread across the surface. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to stand.

"How... how are you this strong?" Scarlet Wolf's voice trembled.

Ye Chen took a slow step forward. "Who placed the bounty on me?"

Scarlet Wolf gritted his teeth. He knew he had no chance of winning, but he refused to give in.

"I won't tell you anything," he spat.

Ye Chen's gaze turned colder. He raised his hand, and a powerful pressure filled the room. "Then you're useless to me."

Scarlet Wolf's pupils shrank. "Wait—"

Crack!

Ye Chen's foot slammed down on Scarlet Wolf's chest. The force was enough to crush bones, making Scarlet Wolf let out a painful groan.

"I'll ask one last time," Ye Chen said. "Who put the bounty on me?"

Scarlet Wolf gasped for breath. His mind was in chaos. If he spoke, his employer would kill him. But if he stayed silent, Ye Chen would finish him off right here.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "It... it was the Heavenly Serpent Gang."

Ye Chen's eyes darkened. He had heard of the Heavenly Serpent Gang before. They were a ruthless underground organization involved in assassinations, smuggling, and illegal cultivation techniques. If they had placed a bounty on him, then someone powerful must have hired them.

"Who in the Heavenly Serpent Gang?" Ye Chen pressed.

Scarlet Wolf coughed out blood and shook his head. "I don't know... only their top members would know."

Ye Chen stared at him for a moment before stepping off his chest. Scarlet Wolf slumped to the ground, barely breathing.

Lin Xia walked over. "What now?"

Ye Chen glanced around. The assassins were either dead or unconscious, and the warehouse was in ruins. There was no point in staying here.

"We leave," Ye Chen said. "The longer we stay, the more danger we attract."

Zhao Ming sighed in relief. "Good. I'm tired of fighting these rats."

As they turned to leave, the mysterious woman from before suddenly appeared at the entrance, clapping her hands slowly.

"Well done," she said with a smirk. "I knew you were strong, but I didn't expect you to handle Scarlet Wolf so easily."

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. "Who are you really?"

The woman chuckled. "Just someone who enjoys watching interesting people. And you, Ye Chen, are very interesting."

Ye Chen didn't like her vague answers, but he had no time to waste on her. "If you're not an enemy, then stay out of my way."

The woman's smile widened. "Oh, I have no plans to stop you. In fact, I think we'll meet again very soon."

Without another word, she turned and disappeared into the shadows.

Lin Xia shivered. "She's creepy."

Zhao Ming nodded. "Yeah. And she knows your name, Ye Chen."

Ye Chen remained silent. He had a feeling this woman wasn't just a bystander.

As they left the underground city, his mind was filled with thoughts.

The Heavenly Serpent Gang...

Someone powerful wanted him dead.

And he needed to find out who before it was too late.
