King of Creation-Chapter 23 - Golden Yuanbao’s Regret (Third Update)

The pale bones, drenched in blood, burst through the skin of the broken leg, and blood gushed out like a fountain, causing Li Xuelong’s screams to come to an abrupt halt.

His eyes rolling back, he fainted from the pain.

Ma Hun swiftly applied pressure points to stem the gushing blood from Li Xuelong and then roared furiously at Ye Zhen, “Ye Zhen, wasn’t that move too vicious?

Maiming your fellow sect brother, how could you be so malicious?”

“I’m malicious?” Ye Zhen sneered, “At the very least I only gave him an unforgettable lesson.

Just now on the mountain path, both of you were after my life!”

At that moment, Ye Zhen completely dropped all pretense.

Honestly speaking, considering Li Xuelong’s current condition, it was because Ye Zhen had shown mercy.

Otherwise, in that situation, if Ye Zhen had gone all out, Li Xuelong would have undoubtedly died.

Ye Zhen still had some benevolence, reluctant to deliver the killing blow, sparing Li Xuelong’s life.

If it had been someone else, in the face of being nearly killed by Li Xuelong, they would have certainly killed him on the spot.

However, even though Ye Zhen had shown mercy, given Li Xuelong’s present condition, it would take half a year to recover even with the Sect’s Spiritual Medicine.

And even if his injuries were healed, with one arm gone, Li Xuelong’s future achievements would likely be limited to that of an Outer Disciple.

At this moment, the Outer Disciples who had been watching the duel, still in shock, started to come to their senses, especially those who had turned to leave earlier.

They were now regretting not witnessing the most thrilling part of this stunning reversal in the duel.

At the base of the Martial Combat Platform, Feng Haoran watched Ye Zhen and murmured to himself, “I’m no match for Ye Zhen’s cultivation; I need to go and train hard!” With that, he turned and left.

Shi Tianjia, however, stared at the broken Li Xuelong with a bitter expression, unable to fathom how Ye Zhen’s cultivation had advanced so drastically in just over ten days.

“Junior Brother Ye, wasn’t that strike a bit too harsh…” Li Yuncong, who was witnessing the duel on the Martial Combat Platform, finally reacted, recalling how he had just advised Li Xuelong to stop at the point of contact, yet he hadn’t anticipated Ye Zhen unleashing such astounding combat power.

“I don’t want to end up a cold corpse because of Li Xuelong’s backstabbing!” With one sentence, Ye Zhen shut Li Yuncong up, who had more to say.

“Brother Huì, my hand…” These were the first words Li Xuelong muttered upon waking up, his bloody severed hand in tow, “Revenge…

you must take…

revenge for me!”

Li Xuelong’s words seemed to remind Ma Hun.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ma Hun leaped onto the Martial Combat Platform like a madman and bellowed at Ye Zhen, “Ye Zhen, come on, if you dare, fight me!”

“Ma Hun, have you no shame!”

Seeing Ma Hun almost going insane, Ye Zhen looked at him with disdain, “You, an Outer Disciple who has made it onto the Earth Leaderboard, challenging me who has been an Outer Disciple for only over ten days to a duel?

I do wonder if your skin is thicker than the Martial Combat Platform itself!”

“Hahahaha….”

The many Outer Disciples gathered around the platform burst into laughter, and their gaze unanimously turned to Ma Hun, making his face as red as Guan Yu’s.

Just a moment ago, everyone was questioning whether Ye Zhen’s actions were too severe, but now with Ye Zhen’s words, they quickly understood that Ma Hun and Li Xuelong were deliberately picking on Ye Zhen for being a newcomer.

Unexpectedly, they had hit a snag!

Li Xuelong had it coming!

“Ye Zhen, right here on the Martial Combat Platform, I’m going to finish you off now!” Driven by a mix of fresh rage and old grudges and the added humiliation, an infuriated Ma Hun rushed towards Ye Zhen like a madman.

Thud!

Without any suspense, the enraged Ma Hun was kicked off the Martial Combat Platform by Li Yuncong, “Ma Hun, have you forgotten the rules of our Qiyun Sect?

If you continue this nonsense, I’ll report this to Steward Liu!” Li Yuncong rebuked loudly.

It seemed the kick had woken Ma Hun up, as his rage gradually subsided, but the look he gave Ye Zhen was filled with venom.

“Ye Zhen, you’re just a coward!”

“Ye Zhen, you’re nothing but a bully to the weak and a coward at heart!

Ye Zhen, if you have the guts, then fight me fair and square.

If you don’t dare, then you are nothing but a dog’s offspring!” Ma Hun changed his strategy, provoking Ye Zhen into a duel.

“Ma Hun, I’ve only joined the sect for a few days, and I haven’t even learned any martial skills.

Are you the idiot, or am I?” After showing his contempt for Ma Hun, Ye Zhen stood on the Martial Combat Platform with a suddenly serious expression.

“Ma Hun, I was born after my mother carried me for ten hard months.

Insulting me as a dog’s offspring is an insult to my mother.

You can insult me, but if you dare insult my mother, I will never let you off easily!”

“Is that so?” Ma Hun sneered.

Ye Zhen’s expression turned grave, and he saluted ceremoniously to all around, “I ask Senior Brother Li to bear witness, and all my fellow brothers to bear witness.

Three months from now, I, Ye Zhen, will battle Ma Hun to the death on this Martial Combat Platform!”

Having said that, Ye Zhen’s voice thundered out, challenging Ma Hun, “Ma Hun, do you dare to accept the battle in three months’ time?”

“Three months?” Ma Hun licked his lips, “How much could your cultivation improve in three months?

Do you think you’re Ren Xihua or what?

Why would I be afraid!”

“Fine, since you’ve accepted, then I will make sure to beat you into a dog’s offspring in three months!” After throwing out this statement, Ye Zhen leapt down from the Martial Combat Platform, turned, and left, leaving the crowd with only his silhouette.

“Kid, you’re dead meat!” Ma Hun clenched his fists fiercely.

Frowning slightly on the Martial Combat Platform, Li Yuncong mused, “Three months is too short, definitely not enough time.

Ma Hun has even condensed a few drops of True Yuan…”

As Ye Zhen departed, the numerous Outer Disciples who had gathered around the Martial Combat Platform also started to disperse.

After the Outer Disciples scattered, the round figure of Golden Yuanbao suddenly appeared, but now with a face full of dejection.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

With a look of dismay, Golden Yuanbao slapped his own chubby cheeks fiercely.

“Blind fool!”

“Short-sighted rat!”

“Golden Yuanbao, you always thought yourself shrewd; how could you miss out on such a lucrative opportunity today, truly blind!”

Having returned from his escape, Golden Yuanbao was shocked to find that Ye Zhen had miraculously won.

He nearly twisted his gut with regret.

The chance to pick up silver and make a fortune had been missed.

“There’s something odd about this Ye Zhen.

I mustn’t miss out on his exciting affairs in the future!” Golden Yuanbao firmly resolved to himself.

……

After leaving the Martial Battle Arena, Ye Zhen didn’t return to cultivation practice but directed his steps towards the Scripture Storage Tower of the sect.

Today’s combat made Ye Zhen aware of his deficiencies.

Lacking suitable martial skills, and even more so, an apt body skill.

If Li Xuelong hadn’t been so arrogant today, using exquisite body skills to dodge and fight, he could have frustrated Ye Zhen to death.

Ye Zhen’s victory over Li Xuelong was the result of meticulous calculations.

Otherwise, with only his cultivation power and no martial skills or body skills, Ye Zhen would have been unable to handle Li Xuelong, let alone fight against Ma Hun, who had made it to the Earth ranking.

Therefore, it was essential for him to learn martial skills and body skills as soon as possible.

At the entrance of the Qiyun Sect’s Scripture Storage Tower, Ye Zhen, with the White Jade Token that represented his identity as an Outer Disciple, smoothly entered the first floor of the tower.
