There were withered leaves everywhere, four figures were slowly moving forward. Although Xiang Qiyu and the other two had a serious expression, Ye Zhong was incomparably calm. Obviously, the scene before him was not oppressive at all.
As Ye Zhong slowly walked forward, shaking the hearts of others with each step he took, causing them to twitch rapidly.
“Ye Zhong! Don’t think that you can eat us just by defeating me!” Jiang Le’s eyes twitched as he stared at Ye Zhong, fear and dread flashing across his eyes. “With so many of us here, killing you would be as easy as stepping on an ant!”
“Really? What a ridiculous thing to hear such arrogant words from a loser like you.” Ye Zhong took another step forward, and smiled, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips. However, in the eyes of those powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House, this calm smile gave them goosebumps.
“However, since you’ve already guessed who I am, you should know what I’ve done, right?” Ye Zhong’s face was calm, “Even Hollow Prince, Mo Fanlong and the others can’t do anything to me, do you really think you could deal with me, with just this little amount of manpower?”
“It seems that you are really confident in yourself!” At the moment of Jiang Le’s unsightly expression, a slightly sinister voice came out. At the rear of the crowd, Meng Xu slowly moved forward, his devilish face now had a hint of solemnity. As he stared at Ye Zhong, his eyes glimmered with a strange glow.
Ye Zhong looked at Meng Xu and said with a smile, “Looks like you’re the one in charge of Chiyun Martial House’s meeting, right? Where’s your Young Housemaster, Ning Yu? He’s not here?”
“If Big Brother was here, how could it be your turn to act arrogantly!?” Jiang Le clenched his teeth and said.
“Really? Then I’m looking forward to it,” Ye Zhong said flatly, “But right now, you shouldn’t need to worry about me. Instead, you should be prepared to deal with the situation on-hand, right? In my opinion, we should both shake hands and you leave obediently. That way, we can all save a bit of strength. How about it?”
“Dream on!” Meng Xu laughed coldly.
“Is that so? What a pity…” Ye Zhong sighed, and took another step forward. But this time, as he did so, the Secret Arts of Six Grave Swords in his body started to circulate slowly. The dormant aura within his body poured out, like a vorpal blade was unsheathed, sharp to the extreme!
“Heh! You would never give up until forced to do so! Ye Zhong, do you really think you can eat all of us here with just the few of you?” Looking at Ye Zhong’s actions, Jiang Le’s face darkened, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “Even Song Shaochen and Rong Tian might not be able to do such a thing, wouldn’t your appetite be a little too big!”
“You’re wrong. I have no interest in letting those three behind take action…” Ye Zhong gave a faint smile, but it was tinged with a sinister undertone. “Against you bunch of trash, I alone is enough!”
As his voice faded, Ye Zhong took another step forward. The momentum swept towards the front like a surging wave. Obviously, Ye Zhong no longer had the mood to waste time with these powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House. He was ready to finish them all off with unrestrained power.
Facing such a terrifying power from Ye Zhong, the experts of the Chiyun Martial House were all shocked. Although Ye Zhong was only one person, the aura he exuded made their hearts pound. Even Hollow Prince and Mo Fanlong couldn’t do anything to such a character, how could these people be his opponent?
This was because they did not know about the Jiangzhou City Lord’s Mansion incident and the recent Main Assembly Hall incident. Otherwise, at this moment, these powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House would have lost all courage to even stand in front of him.
Seeing how Ye Zhong’s simple action had brought so much pressure, Meng Xu’s expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, “Ye Zhong, don’t go too far! Our Chiyun Martial House has no grudge with you, why do you have to force people everywhere? Leave a chance for us to see each other again in the future!”
“Indeed, we don’t particularly have a grudge between us. Since we’re competing for the same item, we have no choice but to confront each other, right?” Ye Zhong smiled faintly.
“You—”
Upon hearing this, Meng Xu was speechless. In the fight for such precious treasures, there was no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak. Whoever was stronger would be able to obtain the most benefits. There was no mistake about this.
“Ye Zhong, indeed you have quite the ability, but our Big Brother will not be afraid of you!”
“If he was here, the dead one would be you!”
“Unfortunately, he’s not here right now, isn’t he?”
Ye Zhong smiled. He had lost the interest to continue talking with them. He tapped the tip of his toes on the ground, and his body shot forward like a flash of light. He darted forward, throwing out punches and kicks in quick succession.
“*Bang— Bang— Bang—*”
All the powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House reacted instinctively, except some mediocre powerhouses who had only the strength at most at the Third Layer of Body Tempering. Just like the unlucky fellows from the Ye Clan back then, these fellows also had no chance of resisting as they were sent flying by Ye Zhong, vomiting blood and retreating.
Therefore, wherever Ye Zhong went, those powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House fell and laid flat on their backs. Those who were slower coughed up blood. Even though there were nearly a hundred powerhouses present, they were all defeated within a second.
In the rear, Xiang Qiyu and the others two looked at the scene with their mouths agape, though they had witnessed Ye Zhong’s power before. But they only thought that the younger generation of the Ye Clan were too useless. However, they did not expect these powerhouses from the Chiyun Martial House were also crippled to such a degree in front of Ye Zhong.
“Ye Zhong, you’re courting death!”
Meng Xu stared at the scene with an ashen face, his face was filled with disbelief. He did not expect Ye Zhong’s approach to be so fierce. In the next instant, he stomped his feet and instantly shot forward. The traces of his meridian appeared beneath his skin as his Qi and Blood were boiling within his body. With a clench of his fist, a battle axe appeared in his right hand, and with a sweep of his right hand, an extremely sharp light bursting out, sweeping towards Ye Zhong.
“A low-grade Spirit Vessel.”
When Ye Zhong saw this small fry casually taking out a Spirit Vessel, he felt a little depressed. Fortunately, he was here to acquire a high-grade Spirit Vessel, otherwise, when he went to the Inheritance Grounds to fight for the inheritance of the Innate Temple, he would see many flashy Spirit Vessels in his opponent’s hands, and might be blinded by them.
However, Ye Zhong could only sigh, his eyes turned cold as he stared at Meng Xu, who was rushing towards him. There was a Four-Layered Shura Sword Seal superimposing on his fist, and within those blood-red Sword Seals, gathering the aura of massacre.
“Shura Sword Seal!”
Ye Zhong shouted inwardly, his body turned into a stream of light and pounced forward instead of retreating. He blasted out a ferocious fist, not dodging at all.
“*Bang—*”
The fist and axe collided with each other in an instant. A loud explosion resounded and the fallen leaves on the ground were sent flying. Cracks suddenly appeared on the ground below where the attacks of the two collided, causing one to be shocked!
“*Crack—*”
The huge battle-axe suddenly exploded. Meng Xu’s body shook as he retreated in a sorry state. The moment he landed on the ground, his body swayed and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face instantly became deathly pale. Obviously, he was in a disadvantageous position after his fight with Ye Zhong.
“How is this possible!?”
Meng Xu looked at Ye Zhong, whose body did not even waver in the slightest, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. He could clearly feel that Ye Zhong was at the same level as him, at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. However, the power contained within Ye Zhong was at least several times greater than his own. How could such a thing be possible!?
Although Ye Zhong only had the strength at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering, with his combat capability just now, even a powerhouse at the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering might not be his match.
Could it be that this fellow is cultivating the Spiritual Secret Art of Body Tempering of the Xingxiang Sect?
When this thought appeared in his mind, Meng Xu’s eyes were filled with envy and hatred.
By the side, Jiang Le, who was holding onto a finger, saw that Meng Xu was also defeated in one move. His face turned pale. He could clearly sense that if Ye Zhong had displayed this level of ability when they were fighting, he probably would not end up losing just two of his fingers.
“Scram, while I’m still in a good mood.” Ye Zhong casually shook his hand and spoke plainly. Although he was unwilling to nurture a tiger that would bring about a calamity, he would not kill if it was not necessary. After all, this was only a small conflict of interest, there was no deep hatred between them.
Meng Xu and Jiang Le exchanged a glance with each other. Both of their expressions were somewhat ugly. However, a moment later, a retracted expression surfaced in their eyes. Even the two of them had been defeated, so what if everyone attacked together? As Ye Zhong said, he had no interest in killing them. If they really angered this little fiend, then the consequences would not be something they could accept.
“Ye Zhong, we admit defeat this time, but we will not let this go. Our Big Brother will seek justice for us!” Meng Xu stared at Ye Zhong for a moment before snorting coldly. With a wave of his hand, he led the defeated ones and retreated swiftly.
As they retreated, Ye Zhong smiled and waved to Xiang Qiyu and the other two, their gazes landing on the Wave Listening Pavilion.
