Three silhouettes rushed towards Ye Zhong emitting a terrifying aura that could topple mountains and overturn the seas. Strangely enough, Ye Zhong did not feel any fear at all, he was more excited than ever to meet opponents who he considered as his equals.
“ *Rumble~~* ”
Under his control, the Body Protection Talisman and the Speed Enhancement Talisman at the center of his body turned into strands of strange Spiritual Qi and entered his body instantly. At the same time, a faint green light was radiating from the long sword held in Ye Zhong’s left hand, and under the effect of the Body Protection Talisman and the Speed Enhancement Talisman, Ye Zhong’s strength abruptly increased by an entire realm.
(TL note: This “Speed Enhancement” is the same as “Swift Movement” — that was previously used in the old chapters.)
Sensing the changes within his body, Ye Zhong laughed softly. Facing the three incoming figures, he did not retreat, but advanced instead. The longsword in his hand glowed for the first time as it flashing out and immediately transformed into a stream of light!
“Unreturned Sword!”
A soft gasp rang out in Ye Zhong’s heart. This single sword move he just recently cultivated and grasped has burst forth with endless elegance at this moment!
Opposite Ye Zhong Su Hao, Liu Han, and Ye Wuyan were all filled with disbelief as they watched Ye Zhong advance instead of retreating!
Not only was this little fellow unafraid of death, he even took the initiative to step forward!?
“ *Clang~ Clang~ Clang~* ”
The swords clanged, and the four figures were instantly intertwined. There was no clash as expected, or rather, Ye Zhong knew the difference between him and these three people, so he did not have any intention of probing them. Instead, he wanted to determine the outcome of the battle within one move, or even the outcome for his life and death.
“ *Slash~~* ”
A few moments later, among the shadows that passed by, Ye Zhong’s silhouette wavered first, and then he took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood, but his expression remained impassive.
Both Ye Wuyan and Liu Han turned to look at Ye Zhong, their eyes filled with disbelief!
In front of the two of them, behind Ye Zhong Su Hao tightly held the sword in his hand. The dignified Fourth Layer of Body Tempering senior expert turned around with difficulty. When his gaze fell upon Ye Zhong disbelief was written all over his face.
“Low-grade Common-level Spiritual Secret Art? How is this possible!?”
As the sound of his voice faded, blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth and his entire body started to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Zhong did not answer, but walked towards Su Kui as though there was no one around. Three steps later, Ye Zhong felt someone grab his foot. He frowned as he looked over. He saw that the guard who had been cut into two halves was actually still alive. A hand was tightly grabbing onto his ankle.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Ye Zhong lifted his right foot and lifted up a long green steel sword from the ground. He then stabbed downwards, and the sword pierced right through the back of the guard’s head.
Behind them, the corner of Ye Wuyan’s and Liu Han’s eyes twitched at the same time. However, just as they were about to take action, Su Hao’s figure who was standing in the middle suddenly trembled, a smooth cut appearing on his throat. Blood was like a fountain as Su Hao’s figure fell backwards.
Obviously, in the moment of collision, Ye Zhong’s sword had already pierced through Su Hao’s throat. However, with Su Hao’s current cultivation, he had managed to forcefully persevere until now. At this moment, his empty eyes were staring at the pitch-black ceiling of the large hall. It was obvious that even after his death, he did not understand why he would die from a mere low-grade Common-level Spiritual Secret Art.
Everyone in the arena was watching this scene attentively. Many people reached out their hands to cover their mouths to prevent themselves from exclaiming out loud. Even Ye Yufeng and the others who were lying on the ground had expressions of disbelief on their faces! The strength of Ye Zhong was beyond their imagination! However, they would never have thought that Ye Zhong would be able to kill Su Hao in one move! That was a true Fourth Layer of Body Tempering senior expert! A true senior expert! But such a senior expert had been killed by him!?
This was especially true for the geniuses of the Su Clan. At this moment, all of their bodies were trembling violently. Without Su Hao protecting them, if Ye Zhong were to try to kill them, none of the Su Clan members could withstand it!
Sensing that Su Hao had finally fallen to the ground, Ye Zhong glanced at the corpse on the ground indifferently. In fact, even if Su Hao was defeated, he shouldn’t have lost so quickly. It was just that he was too conceited. If he had used his Attack Spiritual Secret Art from the beginning, perhaps the one who would have died would have been him!
However, there were no ‘ifs’ in this world. Thus, Ye Zhong shifted his gaze and revealed a calm smile towards Liu Han and Ye Wuyan. Then, his gaze landed on Su Kui.
Ye Zhong took a step forward again, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in the hall. At this moment, everyone in the hall could see the direction of Ye Zhong’s killing desire. However, at this moment, none of them dared to stand up to stop him.
In fact, all the Su Clan disciples felt humiliated beyond belief. However, they understood that if Ye Zhong was able to go on rampage a hundred steps and kill Su Hao, who was at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering, even if they stood up, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths!
In a few blinks of an eye, the remaining few steps were covered by Ye Zhong and he arrived before Su Kui’s banquet table.
At this moment, Su Kui’s body was trembling slightly as if she wanted to stand up. However, at this moment, she had actually lost all of her strength. A faint smell of urine was also emitted from her body.
“Actually, even if you didn’t use Wang Mo to force me, I wasn’t prepared to accept this engagement … However, there seems to be no use in saying all these now, right?” Ye Zhong shook his head at Su Kui. She wanted his life, that was true. However, she had involved his best friend, and that was something Ye Zhong could not tolerate.
Ye Zhong frowned, as it seemed that ever since he went on an one-hundred-steps rampage, Little Ye Zhong’s and his memories were blended together, causing him to subconsciously admit his identity. Therefore, Ye Zhong knew very well that if it were not for Wang Mo’s covert care during his time of desolation, he would have died countless times over by now! In Ye Zhong’s eyes, Wang Mo was his dearest brother. If anyone dared to make a move on his brother, he would definitely make them die a horrible death!
As his voice faded, Ye Zhong swung the long sword in his hand, and saw Su Kui’s head, which was still in shock and regret, fly off. It was only when it landed on the ground behind her that her fat body went limp.
The stench of blood and urine mixed together, making her death look extremely unsightly.
Almost all of the fresh blood that spurted out from Su Kui’s body sprinkled onto Su Wenqing, who was kneeling beside her. At this moment, half of the body of this fairy-like girl was also dyed red with fresh blood.
Ye Zhong stared at Su Kui’s body for a moment before his gaze fell upon Su Wenqing’s body with a calm look in his eyes. He was suddenly curious, what was this Yanjing’s number one beauty thinking? If he were to kill her now, what would the consequences be!?
Ye Zhong looked at Su Wenqing carefully, and sighed in his heart after a while. At this moment, he was also hesitating whether he should just kill this woman who used him as a shield. Although she didn’t attack him directly, that declaration in Yanjing might have been one of the reasons for everything that happened today. However, Ye Zhong could not bear to do anything about the fact that Su Wenqing had similar temperament to his master. Perhaps it was because he saw a little shadow of her master on her body?
“Ye Zhong don’t. If you touch her, not even the Ye Clan will let you go, much less the Su Clan!” He was really afraid that Ye Zhong would suddenly kill Yanjing’s number one beauty with a single sword attack. If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hearing him, Ye Zhong turned his head and his indifferent gaze fell on Ye Yufeng. He was the strongest amongst the younger generation of the Ye Clan, but his body trembled slightly at this moment. It was obvious that he was afraid of Ye Zhong’s devilish look.
“Do you think that the Su Clan will let me go right now?” Ye Zhong smiled, “Or, under what circumstances make you think the Su Clan would let me go?”
“This ……” Ye Yufeng hesitated for a moment. He knew that using such words to threaten Ye Zhong was basically useless.
“Ye Zhong come with me to the Ye Clan, from now on, you are a member of the Ye Clan……I think the Ye Clan will do their best to protect you. Leave this matter to me!” Behind him, Ye Wuyan silently sighed and said. From the moment Ye Zhong killed Su Hao, there was no longer any room for negotiation! The Ye Clan and the Su Clan would definitely lead to a series of conflicts because of this. Under such circumstances, only a heaven-warping talent hero like Ye Zhong could be brought back to the Ye Clan. Only then could the losses be mitigated.
“Am I not a member of the Ye Clan now? It’s just that it is a side branch.” Ye Zhong spoke flatly, as he did not even put the Ye Clan in his eyes at the moment.
Ye Wuyan was speechless. Ye Zhong was indeed a member of the Ye Clan, but in their hearts, Ye Zhong had long been expelled.
“I do have a way to resolve this situation,” Ye Zhong smiled suddenly, “Let the Ye Clan have made their move, one by one, and killed all the Su Clan members. Just treat it as if we’ve never seen the Su Clan, and that will solve the problem!”
“Ahem, little friend Ye Zhong, your friend is here.” Liu Han’s sudden voice broke this awkward silence.
Thereafter, he saw more than ten guards from the City Lord’s Mansion escorting Wang Mo into the hall.
The moment he entered the hall, Wang Mo was obviously shocked. The hall was full of people, and the smell of blood was everywhere. No matter how one looked at it, something big had happened.
“Are you okay?” Ye Zhong’s line of sight landed on Wang Mo, and he revealed a smile.
“It’s nothing, but ……” Wang Mo looked at Ye Zhong with the sword in his hand. There was still a faint smell of blood on his body, and coupled with the fearful expression of everyone in the hall, the corner of his eye twitched as he said, “Ye Zhong, don’t tell me you did all this, right?”
“More or less?” Ye Zhong smiled. He was the most sincere towards his brother, “No one is making things difficult for you, right?”
“No, but …” Wang Mo hesitated. He did not know why Ye Zhong suddenly had the ability to do so, but he was not worried about that at the moment. What he was worried about was that Ye Zhong would not have a good time after he stirred up such trouble.
“It’s good that you’re fine,” Ye Zhong smiled, “Let’s go.”
Ye Zhong turned his head and smiled at Liu Qingmeng, “Lady Liu, I will definitely repay you for what you’ve done today.”
As he finished, Ye Zhong strode out of the hall. As he passed by Wang Mo, the guards dispersed, and Wang Mo hurried to catch up.
Everyone in the hall stared at Ye Zhong’s departing figure, and after a while, a series of sighs could be heard, followed by heavy breathing. At this moment, many of them were stupefied, as if they were in a dream.
