“*Swish—*”
In the next instant, Ye Zhong stomped his foot on the ground, and his body shot forward like a beam of light, crashing into the incoming Chiyun Martial House powerhouses.
“*Crack—*”
Ye Zhong’s punch was directed straight ahead. Facing these powerhouses of the Chiyun Martial House, he showed no intention of taking them lightly. Instead, he sent out a fist blow that whistled, like an air cannon, landed heavily on the chest of one of the figures in the front.
A deep shattering sound rang out. The chest of the figure in the front instantly caved in, leaving a deep fist imprint. That figure spat out fresh blood as he flew backward, instantly losing all of his fighting strength.
“*Bang— Bang— Bang—*”
After taking care of one person in one punch, Ye Zhong’s expression did not change in the slightest. With a stomp on the ground, he then sent out a series of fist blows whistling through the air. His attacks contained an aura of the sharpest blade, each blow causing those powerhouses of the Chiyun Martial House to be sent flying back, spitting out blood. His approach was even more fierce than the previous incident in the ancient hall. It could be said that he was unstoppable wherever he went.
At this moment, although these Chiyun Martial House powerhouses were surrounding Ye Zhong, none of them could get close to him. To Ye Zhong, these fellows were nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs, unable to withstand even a single blow.
Although most of them were at the Third Layer of Body Tempering, even if they were outnumbered, it was still not enough to deal with them!
At the rear, Xiang Qiyu and company stood with their backs facing each other. At that instant, they did not take out any trump cards, but each of them took out a long green steel sword. For the time being, no one could approach them. Just as they’d said before, although they couldn’t help Ye Zhong too much, they could still attract a bit of enemies away for him.
In just a blink of an eye, nearly half of the powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House vomited blood and retreated. When the fist hits their body, the sound of their bones breaking causes many to feel fear and trepidation.
Jiang Le stood outside the circle of battle, staring at Ye Zhong who was surrounded by nearly twenty people, who wasn’t at the slightest disadvantage, it was as if Ye Zhong was about to break out of the encirclement at any second. Although they knew that since the other party dared to come knocking on their door, they would definitely be difficult to deal with, they had never expected that the other party seemed to be so powerful that it was beyond their imagination!
“What a powerful move!”
After staring at the scene for a moment, Jiang Le’s gaze fell on Ye Zhong, and then on the three girls behind him. He mumbled, “This guy is really hard to deal with, but those three are easier to deal with. Capturing them alive and coercing this brat seems to be the best choice.”
While muttering to himself, Jiang Le’s eyes became a bit hotter. He was not the type of person who liked to act rashly. His pursuit of perfection in his work always brought himself the greatest chance of victory. For example, at this moment, he did not want to confront Ye Zhong head on.
“*Swish—*”
In the next instant, Jiang Le’s figure flashed past those who were now coughing out blood and retreating, directly arriving in front of the three girls. With a palm strike, the wind from his palm blew fiercely. The power contained in this palm attack was several times stronger than the ones surrounding Ye Zhong. Obviously, he was at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering.
“Hmph!”
Seeing that Jiang Le was actually taking the initiative to attack them, Xiang Qiyu coldly snorted and waved her jade hand. The long green steel sword in her hand turned, with a gleaming light, it slashed towards Jiang Le’s throat.
“Heh heh, this young lady sure has a ruthless approach!”
When Jiang Le saw the incoming sword attack, a gentle smile surfaced on his face. In the next instant, he changed his palm into a finger before thrusting out a finger.
“*Clink—*”
A clear and crisp sound rang out at this moment. Jiang Le’s finger had actually forcefully shattered the incoming sword attack into pieces. The frightening power contained within the finger attack forced Xiang Qiyu to take a few steps backward, while her pretty face was completely pale.
When You Siling and Qu Xuan saw this scene, they retreated while protecting Xiang Qiyu behind them.
“Heh heh, with your strength at the Third Layer of Body Tempering, you dare to come here? I don’t know if I should call you naive or if you are truly fearless. If all the disciples of the Xingxiang Sect are at this level, then I will have to consider whether or not I need to join the Xingxiang Sect in the future.” Jiang Le pointed at the three girls and a faint smile appeared on his face. The gazes that he used to stare at them were filled with the mocking expression of a cat playing with a mouse. Clearly, he had extremely enjoyed this kind of feeling.
“Trash that bullies the weak and fears the strong!” Xiang Qiyu snorted coldly, while her voice was filled with contempt. It was clear that she looked down on Jiang Le’s actions.
“Heh, there’s no such thing as bullying or fearing, as long as the three of you are captured alive, that troublesome brat will naturally restrain himself, you see, what I’m doing is just the most appropriate thing to do!” Jiang Le was not angry at all, still smiling, and then his figure moved again, like a flash of light, and reached out his both hands.
The three girls looked at each other, in the next instant, the long swords in their hands pierced out as fast as lightning. Obviously, the three of them had some tacit understanding. At a moment, they seemed to be in a dilemma where they could neither advance nor retreat.
“*Clink— Clink— Clink—*”
Sounds of metal clashing continuously rang out. As sparks flew out, even the air vibrated slightly. Each time the two sides clashed; the three girls would sway slightly before retreating a step. Obviously, under the suppression of Jiang Le’s strength, even if the three of them joined hands, they would still not be a match for Jiang Le.
When Jiang Le saw the three ladies retreat step by step, the burning look in his eyes became more and more intense. As he wildly laughed, his offensive attacks grew fiercer and crueler.
“*Clink—*”
Jiang Le pointed out his finger once again. The strength contained within the finger, without the slightest courtesy, tore at the long green steel sword in Xiang Qiyu’s hand, causing her delicate body to tremble violently as her rosy lips turned slightly pale.
“Hahaha—”
Jiang Le sneered and did not give any chance for Xiang Qiyu to dodge. At this moment, the brutal aura in his eyes had reached its limits. After which, he moved his body and once again pointed his finger forward.
“Violent Wind Finger!”
With a soft shout from Jiang Le, the Spiritual Art of Offensive Attack that had a terrifying power instantly exploded out. This finger attack brought with it an extremely powerful destructive power as it directly shot towards the three girls. Obviously, if this move was carried out, their offensive and defensive formation, that was already on the verge of collapse, would be instantly destroyed.
Xiang Qiyu gently bit her lower lips. In the next instant, with a sudden move of her hands, the two daggers appeared in her palms. Although the two daggers were extremely powerful, their energy consumption was astonishing as well. Therefore, if she couldn’t use them, she chose to not use them. However, at this moment, she couldn’t help but use them.
However, just as Xiang Qiyu was about to forcefully activate the two daggers, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and threw a palm towards Jiang Le’s from the left side.
“What!?”
Jiang Le’s body trembled. At this critical moment, he had no choice but to withdraw his attack. He barely evaded the violent attack and landed on the ground. Then, he raised his head to look at his opponent. A dense killing intent surfaced in his eyes.
“Senior Brother Ye Zhong!”
Xiang Qiyu and company were also stunned at the same time, the person who flashed out just now was indeed Ye Zhong, but at the moment he reached out his hand and pointed at the daggers in her hands, signaling her to put it away, and said lightly, “Let me settle this.”
Seeing Ye Zhong’s casual attitude, the three of them hesitated for a moment before nodding their heads. No matter what, it seemed like Ye Zhong could control the current situation?
“Heh—”
On the other side, Jiang Le turned back and casually swept a glance at the place behind him, then his eyes were slightly flickering. In less than a cup of tea’s time, there were nearly twenty people on his side, other than a few people with pale faces who were barely able to stand, there were even more people who were lying on the ground while twitching and wailing. Although none of them had lost their lives, they had all lost their fighting strength. Ye Zhong’s skill was obviously beyond Jiang Le’s imagination.
However, Jiang Le’s expression did not change too much. He turned around and looked at Ye Zhong for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. He spoke in a nonchalant manner, “Heh, a hero saving a beauty? This is quite a good scene. However, why does it feel like I have become the villain? You obviously came to steal our things!”
“Then, what about the things inside originally belonging to us? So, we come here to retrieve them. Such an interpretation, does it make you feel better?” Ye Zhong smiled.
“It’s not bad. I like this kind of plot. However… With your mere strength at Fourth Layer of Body Tempering?” Jiang Le let out a mocking laugh as a trace of ridicule flashed across his eyes. Ye Zhong’s skills were indeed beyond his imagination, but he could tell that Ye Zhong was only at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. Who would be afraid of someone of the same level? Not to mention, there were more than a few people in their Chiyun Martial House that were near the Wave Listening Pavilion.
“Don’t you think that my lowly strength is enough to deal with a piece of trash like you?” Ye Zhong shrugged, his eyes filled with indifference.
