Ye Wuyan’s heart was extremely entangled. Ye Zhong’s performance right now could already be compared with those few geniuses of the same generation in Yanjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Such a character, since his surname was Ye, regardless of what past he had, he should have been allowed to stay in the Ye Clan.
However, if he made this choice, not only would he, Ye Wuyan, lose all courtesy with the Su Clan, he might even lose all esteem with the countless factions in the Ye Clan, right? After all, one of the Ye Clan members that Ye Zhong had chopped down on the ground today represented a powerful faction within the Ye Clan. Now that he had chopped dozens of them, it could be said that he had gone against the entire Ye Clan!
Under these circumstances, as the wedding host who ran a trivial errand for the clan, would he have the qualifications or the ability to protect him?
While Ye Wuyan was at a loss, Liu Han suddenly laughed and said, “Didn’t the two Daoist Brothers just say that the matter between the younger generation can be resolved by the younger generation? Why are the two Daoist Brothers about to take action at this time?”
Liu Han’s words were intentional, but it made both Ye Wuyan and Su Hao’s body shudder. Their gaze shifted to Liu Qingmeng who was following Ye Zhong, with a different expression on her face.
After a while, the two of them had a better understanding of Liu Han’s mentality. Such a character, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, from the moment he entered the great hall, took one step, made one move, a person down, without losing in the slightest. Such an invincible posture could be considered peerless talent. Under such circumstances, even the three elders felt a little jealousy in their hearts. At the same time, everyone was thinking about how they could recruit such a genius into their ranks, and then only consider the other possibilities. At this moment, Liu Han’s daughter was closely following Ye Zhong. If it was said that there was no relationship between the two, Ye Wuyan and Su Hao would never believe it even if they were beaten to death!
At this moment, Liu Han was going to stand up for him? Did the Liu Clan think themselves qualified to take in such a heaven’s pride youngster?
While the three Hosts were immersed in their own thoughts, just a few meters away on the left, behind the one and only banquet table, both Su Wenqing and Su Kui were staring at Ye Zhong with different expressions on their faces.
Su Wenqing had long heard of this person who had been her fiance for five years. The words “Trash of Ye Clan” was like a nightmare that had haunted her for countless days and nights. But at least the four words had been her shield for so many years, so towards Ye Zhong, she felt neither hate nor love. However, Ye Zhong’s posture while running amok today made her quiver!
Even those so-called geniuses in Yanjing who called themselves the heaven’s pride young geniuses, how many of them could do such a thing? She was afraid because there isn’t a single one!
However, even though she was shocked, Su Wenqing did not show any sign of fear as she watched Ye Zhong walk towards her. That was because she could clearly sense that Ye Zhong was not here for her. Or rather, it should be said that Ye Zhong did not care about her; the number one beauty in Yanjing. She was just right in the direction Ye Zhong was headed to.
In comparison to Su Wenqing’s calmness, Su Kui, who was also dressed in a red wedding robe, was sitting beside her with a face as pale as paper! She would never have thought that Ye Zhong, who she thought could be easily crushed to death, could be so capable!
Besides, she was probably the only one in the room who knew why Ye Zhong would make a move at such a critical moment! That was because she was the one who had pushed the matter!
However, at this moment, Su Kui was not the least bit happy nor excited in her heart. Just a moment ago, she was somewhat astonished, but now, her heart was filled with fear.
Ye Zhong moved slowly, one step at a time. However, there was a faint killing intent contained in those occasional glances. This killing intent caused Su Kui to feel a chill that seeped into her bones! With Su Kui’s understanding of Ye Zhong, how could he do such a thing? In Su Kui’s eyes, this trash of the Ye Clan was like dirt beneath her feet. She could step on him whenever she wanted to, but why was he able to display such an invincible posture? After continuously fighting with several talented elites of the Ye and Su Clans, he did not show any signs of fatigue?
Su Kui was not afraid of Ye Zhong killing her now. In any case, at the wedding banquet between these two Great Clans, the higher-ups would not be happy to see any fatalities! The other reason why the higher-ups were still calm was that even though Ye Zhong could do whatever he wanted, he could only inflict serious injuries without killing any of them.
However, she was afraid that the matter of her forcing Ye Zhong to break off the engagement would be exposed! Such a young genius should be the ideal candidate for her husband. As the daughter of the Su Clan, regardless of whether she was willing or not, she, Su Kui, should bring someone to marry her. However, she had done something to force the heaven’s pride to withdraw the engagement. If this matter was exposed, the punishment of the clan would be too severe for her!
Thinking of this, Su Kui laughed in her heart. If he were to purpose to her later, then why would she, the Young Lady Su, reluctantly marry him? At most, she would just go out and look for a few kept men she had in her mind.
“Clang!”
The crisp sound of a sword resonating resounded throughout the hall once again.
When the swords separated, Ye Zhong exhaled a breath of air, his breathing quickened, his right hand felt numb, and he could barely hold the sword in his hand.
Another twenty steps! In these twenty steps, the nearly ten geniuses from the Ye and Su Clans who were standing had all been beaten down.
However, just as he was about to take his twenty-first step, someone shook off the wine glass in his hand and stood up, blocking Ye Zhong’s attack.
The man stood before Ye Zhong. He was tall and slim, dressed in a red wedding robe, but his handsome face was cold, except for the pupils, which looked like those of snakes, contracted slightly.
“Ye Yufeng ——”
The number one Ye Clan’s younger generation, Ye Yufeng!
Ye Zhong narrowed his eyes at that moment, a smile that was not a smile appearing on his face. Due to the one-hundred-step rampage earlier, Ye Zhong’s consciousness seemed to have completely merged with Little Ye Zhong’s previous memories, allowing him to understand clearly that he had heard countless legends about Ye Yufeng, the brother of the Ye Clan who was ranked first. Not to mention the fact that Ye Yufeng was able to firmly occupy the title of number one among the younger generation, it was already a testament to his strength!
It was said that ever since he started cultivating, this Brother Ye Yufeng had not lost a single battle of the same generation. He had even fought against a Fourth Layer of Body Tempering older generation without losing. He could be called a monstrous genius! In reality, at this moment, the three people in the upper seats hadn’t made a move. Part of the reason was that he didn’t kill them, and the other part was probably because a dazzling genius like Ye Yufeng was present.
However, this did not bother Ye Zhong at all. The only thing that bothered him was the state of his body. With his Third Layer of Body Tempering strength, Ye Zhong was already exhausted after chopping down more than sixty people in a row.
He frowned as he stared at Ye Zhong. After a while, a smile appeared on his refined face, “Ye Zhong, if you retreat now, I will give you a fair fight with me in the future!”
In response to his question, Ye Zhong gave a silent laugh. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Ye Clan’s genius was dazzling and unrivalled, but in Ye Zhong’s opinion, that sort of thing was really nothing much.
Ye Yufeng could clearly feel the indifference in Ye Zhong’s eyes. It was not a sneer or disdain, but a condescending attitude. This made Ye Yufeng’s calm heart suffuse a faint sense of anger. A mere Ye Zhong actually dared to look down on him!?
In the next moment, Ye Yufeng took a step forward, the long sword in his hand bringing a screen of light that swept towards Ye Zhong’s throat. He obviously knew that Ye Zhong did not have any thoughts of retreating, so the only thing he could do now was to defeat or kill Ye Zhong right here.
Ye Zhong’s eyes lit up slightly. Ye Yufeng’s attack was concentrated in the form of energy and appeared magnificent, but it was filled with endless variables. Just this attack alone was several times stronger than the countless trash lying on the ground. Moreover, he should only have one threshold from the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering, right?
However, Ye Zhong did not step back at this moment. Like Ye Yufeng, he took a step forward and welcomed the incoming attack head-on with the long sword in his hand.
“Clang!”
It was the first time since Ye Zhong entered the hall that he took a step back. The green steel sword in his hand was broken into pieces, and his right hand began to tremble uncontrollably. Obviously, after chopping down several people consecutively, the clash just now was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and Ye Zhong’s right hand was temporarily disabled.
Countless breaths went by quickly! Looking into Ye Zhong’s eyes, he was baffled. No matter how amazing Ye Zhong’s previous performance was, if he was defeated by Ye Yufeng, it would mean nothing other than becoming the opponent of genius freak.
“Woosh ~~~”
However, Ye Yufeng did not show interest in Ye Zhong in the least. He slashed the long sword in his hand vertically, intending to chop Ye Zhong into pieces in the next move.
“Bring a Saber!”
While everyone was still in shock, Ye Zhong’s left hand shot backwards like a bolt of cold lightning, and drew a long saber from Liu Qingmeng’s chest. Following that, he saw a saber light that was like the moonlight, dazzling and blinding in the hall.
“Woosh ~~~”
The first ray of saber light directly slashed towards Ye Yufeng’s throat. It arrived later, so Ye Yufeng might not even have managed to execute his sword attack before his throat would have been pierced through. At this moment, Ye Yufeng had no choice but to retreat.
The second ray of saber light slashed towards Ye Yufeng’s right wrist. Ye Yufeng had an ugly expression on his face, and he had no choice but to abandon his sword, because if he did not do so, Ye Zhong would have chopped off his right thumb in an instant.
The third ray of saber light ……
Without the third slash, just when everyone thought that Ye Zhong would continue to swing his blade, he stepped forward and jumped into Ye Yufeng’s arms. The handle of the blade instantly landed on Ye Yufeng’s knee, and at the moment the sound of bones shattering was heard, the number one Ye Clan’s younger generation instantly fell onto the ground clutching his knees, no longer having the strength to fight.
When Ye Yufeng was defeated, Ye Zhong’s sight was clear!
One hundred steps! He had only walked a hundred steps from the entrance of the hall to here! However, after a hundred steps, he was no longer able to fight back!
At that moment, Liu Qingmeng also let out a long sigh. She stared at Ye Zhong with excitement in her eyes, as an inexplicable emotion wrapped itself around Liu Qingmeng’s heart!
Ye Wuyan, who was at the highest point of his power, could not hold it in any longer, stood up abruptly. He stared at Ye Zhong, his right hand trembling slightly.
Defeat! The number one Ye Clan’s younger generation was actually defeated!? With his eyesight, he could tell that if it were not for the fact that Ye Zhong had slashed several people earlier and almost exhausted all of his physical strength, Ye Yufeng would not be his match! This Ye Zhong was actually that terrifying?!
At this moment, Su Hao subconsciously clenched his fists. Killing intent could be seen in his eyes, no longer concealing it.
Su Kui was dumbstruck as he stared at the figure of the young man who was standing on the spot. At this moment, a wave of regret suddenly surfaced in her heart.
