King of Creation-Chapter 80 - Senior Brother Ye’s Might!

Hong Bao feared this kind of senseless, meaningless death!

During this year’s grand competition of the sect, when Hong Bao fought over the title of top disciple of the Outer Gate with Li Yuncong, it took a grueling two hundred moves before he could defeat Li Yuncong.

However, Li Yuncong, who had been able to battle him for two hundred rounds, was slain by Lio Yunchong with a single slash.

As for himself, how many moves could he withstand?

Lio Yunchong’s strength had even reached the alarming True Essence Second Realm.

The most terrifying thing, however, was the undisguised killing intent in Lio Yunchong’s eyes.

The blood-drenched saber seemed to be telling Hong Bao that if he set foot on the platform, his fate would be no different from Li Yuncong’s.

For the first time, Hong Bao somehow regretted having the title of the top Outer Disciple.

Being the top of the Outer Gate wasn’t an easy role.

Differing from the energetic leaps of other disciples onto the stage, Hong Bao’s approach to the Martial Combat Platform grew slower and slower.

The moment he stepped onto the first level of the platform, Hong Bao suddenly halted his footsteps.

Hong Bao hesitated!

One step forward would lead to death.

One step back could at least grant him life!

What should he choose?

The choice was not difficult to make, but retreating that single step was hard!

At the moment when Hong Bao’s shoulders trembled and his breath became rapid, the thousands of expectant gazes suddenly became dumbfounded.

Stage fright!

Hong Bao actually succumbed to stage fright!

Instantly, the face of the platform’s Sect Leader Guo Qijing turned ashen, and several elders’ faces all twisted into expressions of extreme displeasure.

The most upset among them was the Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang, who almost seemed to pierce Hong Bao with a murderous gaze, yet Hong Bao remained unaffected!

This display of cowardice was even more humiliating than defeat!

“Hong Bao!” the Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang roared thunderously.

Upon the platform, Lio Yunchong quickly grasped the current situation, with a trace of severity flashing across his lips.

What could be more crushing to one’s opponent, what could more boost his own face, than winning without fighting?

“Hong Bao, come forth quickly to meet your death!”

As Lio Yunchong shouted, he deliberately shook the bloody long saber in his hand, flinging a few drops of already cold blood onto Hong Bao’s face, making him shiver.

This shout shattered the last bit of resolve Hong Bao had, and he lowered his head utterly deflated, as though he truly did not wish to go forth and face certain death.

“Senior Brother Hong!”

“Hong Bao!”

The cries of Qiyun Sect’s Inner and Outer Disciples rang out without ceasing, but Hong Bao showed no reaction whatsoever.

On the platform, the Lishui Sect’s Departure Stone Elder was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

“Eldest Prince, Third Prince, do you see how valiant my Lishui Sect disciples are?”

“If someone like Hong Bao were made a Centurion, let alone a Chiliarch, and he were to lead soldiers into battle, would his troops surrender?” The Third Prince’s single sentence caused the senior members of Qiyun Sect to tremble.

“By contrast, the disciples of the Lishui Sect seem more fitting for the army!” the Third Prince stated.

The faces of the high ranks of Qiyun Sect instantly turned black!

“Hahahaha!”

Lio Yunchong held his saber aloft and burst into a hearty laugh, “A bunch of cowards, all a bunch of cowards!

Not one of you has the guts to challenge me for a fight!”

An Inner Sect Disciple of Qiyun Sect abruptly rose, ready to soar onto the Martial Combat Platform, but was scathingly reprimanded by Chu Jun, “The Inner Sect Disciples also wish to take the stage?

Have you no shame?

Do you want a True Disciple of my Lishui Sect to accompany you for a few moves?”

“Any more challengers?

Do any of you Qiyun Sect Outer Disciples dare to step up for a challenge?

If no one else comes forward, then I, the second-ranked of the Lishui Sect Outer Gate, will be the undefeated champion across the entire Qiyun Sect’s Outer Gate…hahahaha…”

“I’ll fight you with all I’ve got!”

With his face flushed crimson, Ren Fei, the third-ranked Outer Disciple of Qiyun Sect, roared with rage, about to leap onto the stage.

But just as Ren Fei roared and leapt, a large hand, like a bolt of lightning, landed on his shoulder, firmly pressing him back down.

“I’ll go!”

The voice of Ye Zhen sounded from behind Ren Fei.

“Senior Brother Ye!”

Ren Fei called out with excitement.

Ye Zhen nodded solemnly; in fact, from the moment Li Yuncong was killed, Ye Zhen wanted to avenge him.

However, with Hong Bao there, he had no right to step in.

Now that Lio Yunchong wildly challenged all the Outer Disciples of Qiyun Sect, he was immediately driven to act.

“Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Ye!”

Seeing Ye Zhen step forward, the surrounding Outer Disciples were all excited.

If there was any hope left for the Outer Gate of Qiyun Sect, then it rested with Ye Zhen, the one who had once defeated Hong Bao.

Ye Zhen paid no attention to Hong Bao standing on the steps, not even sparing him a glance.

In his eyes, the current Hong Bao was pitiful enough, not worth even half a rebuke.

He lightly hopped onto the Martial Combat Platform, cupped his hands in salute, and said, “Qiyun Sect, Ye Zhen, seeks instruction.”

Though he spoke of seeking instruction, Ye Zhen did not immediately make a move.

Instead, he turned his back to face the body of Li Yuncong.

Almost the moment Ye Zhen leaped onto the Martial Combat Platform, Chu Jun’s face suddenly turned ferociously grim, and a surge of Spiritual Power transmitted his voice directly into Lio Yunchong’s ears.

“Lio Yunchong, kill him!

At any cost, kill Ye Zhen for me!”

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Lio Yunchong leaped up high, lifting his long saber fiercely into the air as he soared, bringing forth a blade glow a yard long and striking down towards Ye Zhen’s back.

Facing the corpse of Li Yuncong, Ye Zhen was as if deaf to the mournful sound of the blade behind him.

With both hands, he slowly brought the two halves of Li Yuncong’s severed head together in the pool of blood.

Whoosh!

The mournful blade light fell like a galaxy, and the thousands of gazes from below instantly tensed up.

Even the elders on the platform started to secretly grumble.

How could someone be so brazenly bold?

Crack!

Just as the blade light was about to strike, a pair of hands covered in fresh blood shot out from the bloody mess, clashing with the blade amidst a burst of True Essence.

It was as if an eagle was pinching a chick, stopping Lio Yunchong’s long mare dead in its tracks.

Ye Zhen’s left hand, however, wasn’t idle and slowly wiped the dirty blood from the face of the dead Li Yuncong, who had died with his eyes wide open.

Boom!

Lio Yunchong, unsuccessful in his sword draw, suddenly kicked towards Ye Zhen’s back.

However, Ye Zhen neither dodged nor avoided, and a layer of Protective Gang Qi surged around his body, taking Lio Yunchong’s kick head-on.

“True Essence Third Realm?”

On the platform, Elders from different sects sharply inhaled, with the Departure Stone Elder suddenly looking at the Qiyun Sect’s Grand Elder Lut Changchuan.

“True Essence Third Realm, and still an Outer Disciple?”

“Heh, just some fortuitous encounter!” Grand Elder Lut Changchuan said, his nostrils flaring with a mix of shock and joy, leaving Departure Stone feeling embarrassed.

“They have such a strong Outer Disciple?” Third Prince Zhu Kun’s gaze fixed on Ye Zhen, flickering incessantly.

“Elder Lut, if I remember correctly, your Qiyun Sect’s Outer Disciples are not over twenty years old.

How old is Ye Zhen?” Eldest Prince Zhu Xuan asked.

“Uh…” Lut Changchuan found himself at a loss for words.

“Replying to the Eldest Prince, Ye Zhen has just turned seventeen this year!” Steward Liu from Donglai Peak, who was attending at the side, answered.

“What?

Seventeen years old?”

Both Third Prince Zhu Kun and Eldest Prince Zhu Xuan were taken aback and their gaze towards Ye Zhen changed drastically.

On the platform, Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s brows furrowed sharply.

When did his Qiyun Sect acquire such a genius like Ye Zhen, and how was he not aware?

One kick, two kicks, three kicks!

Ye Zhen’s figure didn’t move an inch, while Lio Yunchong was starting to panic.

It was at this moment that Ye Zhen, using one hand, had finished cleaning the dirty blood from Li Yuncong’s face, gently covering the wide, angry eyes and saying, “Senior Brother Li, may your journey be smooth.”

The moment the words left his mouth, Ye Zhen suddenly turned around.

His True Essence, at the peak of the Third Realm and comparable to the Fifth Realm, erupted instantly.

His True Essence Power burst right at the right hand clutching the tip of the sword.

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of the long sword being crushed resonated around!

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s left fist shattered the desperate palm strike from Lio Yunchong, and his right fist, like a venomous dragon, hammered into Lio Yunchong’s chest.

Thunder Leopard Collapsing Fist!

The moment his fist hit Lio Yunchong’s chest, Ye Zhen’s True Essence Power exploded without reservation.

Bang!

Lio Yunchong’s figure was suddenly blasted into the air, with blood and pieces of internal organs spewing from his mouth.

Yet, Ye Zhen did not intend to let him off so easily.

Crouching and then bounding, Ye Zhen ascended to the skies like a shadow, unleashing the Thunder Leopard Collapsing Fist like lightning in rapid succession.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, plth!

Accompanied by the last faint sound like a balloon being pierced, Lio Yunchong’s body suddenly exploded like a balloon, blood splattering everywhere!

Hiss!

Exploded!

Lio Yunchong was directly blasted to pieces by Ye Zhen!

Bloody!

This scene was even more bloody than when Lio Yunchong killed Li Yuncong!

Shocked!

All the Inner and Outer Disciples, including the elders and princes on the Martial Arts Platform, were shocked!

They had seen bloodshed, but they had never seen such gore!

To blast someone directly like a balloon, into countless fragments!

Silence!

A deathly silence ensued!

The next moment, cheers suddenly erupted!

“Junior Brother Ye is mighty!”

“Junior Brother Ye is mighty!”

“Junior Brother Ye is mighty!”

Amidst the cheering, quite a few Inner Sect Disciples, unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts, started to join in with the Outer Disciples, shouting a few times before secretly spitting in disdain.

What Junior Brother Ye?

Clearly, he’s a Junior Brother!

But indeed, it was quite satisfying!

The Lishui Sect’s side, including Elder Lik Shi and Chu Jun, were dumbstruck like wooden chickens, while the other Outer Disciples below showed expressions of fear!

The very next moment, Ye Zhen, brandishing Lio Yunchong’s head, began to roar.

“You bastards from Lishui Sect, if you have the guts, come up here and face me!”
