King of Creation-Chapter 38 - The Greatest Harvest

As Ye Zhen rapidly flicked his fingers, those dots of cyan True Yuan went straight into Hong Bao’s body.

Each time a dot of cyan light entered Hong Bao’s body, he inexplicably shuddered.

Clap clap clap clap clap!

Almost instantaneously, Ye Zhen’s hands swiftly hit Hong Bao’s body thirty-six times.

The moment the thirty-six wind-driven strikes were delivered, a sudden fear emerged in Hong Bao’s eyes.

Because in that instant, he could no longer feel the True Yuan in his body, or rather, his True Yuan could only circle within his Dantian, utterly unable to burst out.

Not only that, but even the dense Golden Light Fist Aura around his fists ebbed away like the tide.

“Meridian-Sealing Hand Technique, the killing move from the Spirit Snake Vein Severing Hand?” Gu Duozhi suddenly stood up from the crowd.

Whine!

The unable-to-cultivate True Yuan Hong Bao, still unwilling to give up, swung his barely movable arms toward Ye Zhen’s head.

With each hand pulling and pushing, there was a crisp snap as Ye Zhen dislocated Hong Bao’s shoulder joints.

The moment his limp arms fell, Ye Zhen took a deep breath and shouted, “Hey!”

A solid strike of the Five Mountains Divine Fist landed squarely on the vital part of Hong Bao’s chest; a blood arrow spurted out of Hong Bao’s mouth as he was sent flying with a punch.

As Hong Bao flew through the air, the continual sound of his frantic cultivation trying to break through the Spirit Snake Vein Severing True Yuan rang out incessantly, revealing his desperate attempts to overcome Ye Zhen’s technique.

Ye Zhen’s body sharply dipped and sprang up, his True Yuan dense hand blade slashing towards Hong Bao’s throat.

Ye Zhen moved as quickly as lightning, causing Hong Bao’s pupils to shrink to their limits, a look of horror for the first time in his eyes.

The True Yuan dense hand blade, sharp enough to slice through metal and stone, was even more formidable than a sword or knife.

If this strike were to land, Hong Bao would undoubtedly die.

Ironically, at this moment, with his True Yuan sealed and only less than half of the thirty-six points of Vein Severing True Yuan broken through, Hong Bao could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhen’s hand blade came slashing toward him.

The instant the palm wind touched him, Hong Bao’s eyes bulged out to their maximum, even bursting with blood.

Death, at this moment, was so close to him!

Just as Hong Bao resigned himself to his fate, a jade bead, dispatched slightly later but arriving faster, fiercely struck Ye Zhen’s hand blade, deflecting it.

Crack!

Ye Zhen’s hand blade viciously chopped onto Hong Bao’s collarbone, breaking it into two and causing another severe injury.

Hong Bao fell to the ground, unable to rise.

Ye Zhen sharply turned around, his gaze somewhat hostile as he stared at the Sect Steward overseeing the Martial Combat Platform, who had intervened.

This was already the second time he had hindered him.

At this moment, the Sect Steward had already approached the incapacitated Hong Bao.

“Wait a few more years, and you’ll find out that killing isn’t the only way,”

“Besides, it’s my duty.

If you were the disciple about to be killed, I would have intervened just the same.”

After explaining, the Sect Steward overseeing the Martial Combat Platform glanced at the incapacitated Hong Bao, administered a few pats to reset his dislocated joints, and then announced, “Ye Zhen wins!”

Below the Martial Combat Platform, an instant of silence enveloped the area as the gaze of thousands of outer disciples became incredibly blank.

Golden Yuanbao, standing at the betting table, couldn’t believe his eyes and rubbed them.

Hong Bao, whose arms had just been restored, clenched his fists tightly.

He didn’t dare to look up, nor did he dare to stand up.

His pride, his arrogance, all shattered by Ye Zhen’s blow in that instant.

Normally overbearing, demanding that everyone yield to him, and privileged in all affairs because he felt he was powerful and deserved such privileges — even Gu Duozhi wouldn’t dare provoke him, such was the treatment due to the strong.

But now, his usual arrogance had become a joke, easily punctured by Ye Zhen.

“Haha haha, he won, Ye Zhen won, Ye Zhen won!” Golden Yuanbao laughed excitedly, his whole body, every bit of fat, seemed to be laughing.

“Brothers, thank you for your silver, I’ve struck it rich, I’ve struck it rich!” Just 15 minutes ago, Golden Yuanbao was still cursing Senior Brother Gu Duozhi, who had forced him to open the betting, as a harm-bringer; he even wished he could tear Ye Zhen’s mouth apart.

Now, however, he wished he could pull Ye Zhen’s mouth to him and plant two ferocious kisses on it, if Ye Zhen was willing, that is.

The manic laughter of Golden Yuanbao, however, drew the discontent, even the anger, of thousands of Outer Disciples who had lost their silver.

Many of them had thought this was a golden opportunity to make easy money and had even gambled all they had.

The angry gazes of a thousand people immediately made Golden Yuanbao realize something was wrong.

Making a snap decision, he grabbed the few sacks of betting stakes and leaped behind Senior Brother Gu Duozhi, wisely shutting his mouth for fear of stirring up further wrath.

Senior Brother Gu Duozhi loved to show impartiality, and at this moment, the only one who could protect him was Gu Duozhi himself.

Senior Brother Gu Duozhi was still in shock, immersed in the Meridian-Sealing Hand Technique that Ye Zhen had used, disbelief written all over his face.

The reason for this was because Gu Duozhi had also recognized the strength of the Spirit Snake Vein Severing Hand and had chosen to practice it, enduring a grueling half year of training.

After half a year of arduous training, Gu Duozhi’s Spirit Snake Vein Severing Hand had achieved small success, but the killing move, the Meridian-Sealing Hand Technique, he just couldn’t master.

To rapidly strike thirty-six points within a single breath, even after half a year’s hard effort and breaking through to the True Essence Realm, he still hadn’t accomplished it.

But just now, Ye Zhen had done it, and he did it with sheer naturalness.

After a while, the gathered thousands of Outer Disciples also gradually dispersed, even those who had lost everything walked away helplessly.

As per the gambler’s code, before a large audience, these young and impulsive Outer Disciples could not do anything shameless like denying their losses.

“Hahaha, five thousand silver, Shi Tianjia, I won five thousand silver!

I can exchange it for more than twenty Blood Essence Pills, and with that, my Cultivation can also advance into the Fifth Stage of Blood Training,”

Feng Haoran, waving his winnings in his hand, laughed loudly as he strode away from the dumbstruck Shi Tianjia, leaving him frozen on the spot like a petrified chicken.

The eight hundred silver plus two hundred Sect Contribution Points he’d gambled on Hong Bao were all he had.

The eight hundred silver was given by his family, and the two hundred Sect Contribution Points were accumulated from four months of life-risking completion of Sect missions, and he had been reluctant to use them until now.

Now, it had all turned to dust in an instant!

“Golden Yuanbao, this time, you’ve really made a fortune,” Senior Brother Gu Duozhi suddenly said to Golden Yuanbao with a smile as he came to his senses.

“A small fortune, just a small fortune, all thanks to Senior Brother, all thanks to Senior Brother,” Golden Yuanbao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Gu Duozhi paused for a moment; it seemed it was he who had forcefully made Golden Yuanbao open the betting.

“By the way, Golden Yuanbao, I want to inquire about something.

I heard that four months ago Ye Zhen was still a servant disciple, is that true?” Gu Duozhi asked.

“True, it’s true.

Senior Brother, do you know about the Fish-Dragon Path that was specifically opened for servant disciples four months ago?

An outsider, Ye Zhen emerged as a dark horse from nowhere, letting me make a fortune,” Golden Yuanbao replied.

“So it’s true.

Ah, where did Ye Zhen stay before in Chores Peak, do you know?” Gu Duozhi suddenly asked.

“Ye Zhen’s previous Chores Peak?

Let me think, oh, right, Hundred Pine Peak, that’s it.

Back then, when Ma Hun wanted to bully Ye Zhen, the steward of Hundred Pine Peak even came out to support Ye Zhen,” Golden Yuanbao answered.

“Hundred Pine Peak, I see…” with that, Senior Brother Gu Duozhi drifted away, his turning face bearing a hint of mystery.

As Senior Brother Gu Duozhi walked away, Golden Yuanbao murmured somewhat inexplicably, “Inquiring about the Chores Peak where Ye Zhen used to be, what is Senior Brother up to?”

At that moment, on the Heaven and Earth Cliff, the leaderboard flickered a few times, and Ye Zhen’s name immediately replaced Hong Bao’s name appearing in the second position on the leaderboard.

The name of Hong Bao fell to the third position, and the name of Li Yuncong moved to the fourth place.

As his rank changed, the Identity Jade he carried also changed; seeing his own Identity Jade, Li Yuncong had to laugh bitterly, after enduring half a year of hard cultivation, his rank had, instead of advancing, retreated.

At the same time, as the leaderboard changed, Steward Liu from Donglai Peak exclaimed softly, “Eh, a new top three on the leaderboard has emerged?”

As he stepped outside to take a closer look, Steward Liu was greatly surprised.

At the same moment, within the clouds over the Martial Combat Platform, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly disappeared, “She actually won, rather unexpected…”

“Senior Brother Jin, now we can split the spoils, right?” Ye Zhen laughed heartily as he rushed towards Golden Yuanbao, as the biggest gain from this battle was actually right here.

Just as Hong Bao, who had just been carried away for medical treatment, heard Ye Zhen’s shout, he couldn’t help but spurt out a mouthful of suppressed blood again.

He had bet all he owned on Golden Yuanbao, and now with this loss, he had become a penniless pauper.

Being penniless was not the worst; what infuriated him was that half of his fortune was going to fall into Ye Zhen’s hands, which was a classic case of financing the enemy, financing the enemy!

PS: Boys, even Hong Bao is financing the enemy, where is your support?

Voting tickets, voting tickets, I’m begging you three thousand times!
