Chapter 7: A Cruel Victory

  "Ah, you little brat, you're looking for death!!"

  A loud crash, Ye Gu Cheng's sword pierced through Shangguan Hongfei's shoulder. The more furious Shangguan Hongfei became, the more he wanted to take revenge on Ye Gu Cheng. As Ye Gu Cheng dodged, a massive fist as big as a sand pot slammed towards him. Suddenly, a giant black tiger with a ferocious appearance burst out and pounced on Ye Gu Cheng, biting at him. Even though Ye Gu Cheng's body transformed into a flash of lightning, moving extremely fast, he was still hit by the tiger's iron tail on his left arm.

  At this moment, when the two were fighting hard and couldn't be separated, they suddenly stopped miraculously.

  Shangguan Hongfei's mournful cry awakened many people, and Ye Fan and others who had been paying attention to Ye Lin's breakthrough immediately looked up. This battle was crucial for Ye Guancheng, as Shangguan Hongfei was a well-known figure of the older generation, having gained fame over thirty years ago. The small demons he had killed under his hands were countless, and he was indeed a true killing god. Moreover, he possessed innate martial arts that the Ye family did not have, although it was only first-rate innate abilities, its power was not to be underestimated by anyone.

  Ten years ago, a great demon stirred up the winds and waves on the East Sea, overturning countless large and small ships. Xiang Hongfei led a dozen or so fellow practitioners to search for three days and nights on the vast East Sea, and fought a great battle with the demon on the edge of a deserted island. More than a dozen famous cultivators from Yunshui City went out but never returned, only he came back, and also brought back the demon's head, becoming a great hero in Yunshui City at that time.

  Although these cannot represent anything, his strength has already been recognized by all the strong people in Yunshui City. It is said that as long as he is there for a day, the Yuanguan family will not perish. He has indeed become a monument of the Yuanguan family. If Ye Guancheng can defeat this former demon slayer in a head-on battle, it would not only be defeating Yuanguan Hongfei but also represent the defeat of the entire Yuanguan family and the overthrow of the entire Yuanguan family's monument.

  If that's really the case, even if all the older generation of the Ye family no longer appear, anyone who wants to move against the Ye family will still have to tremble with fear in their heart.

  Ye Fan had already achieved spiritual enlightenment and his eyesight was naturally not weak. In the midst of his gaze, sparks flew as he said: "Shangguan Hongfei's right arm has been pierced by a sword."

  As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, the entire Ye family was instantly excited and their hearts were trembling with excitement.

  At the height of their power, the Ye family looked down upon Yunshui City, and even if the three major families joined forces, they didn't dare to have any intention of offending them. Now, all the old generation figures have lost their presence, and the three major families are coming to attack. The entire Ye family is suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. If it weren't for the 3,000-year legacy of the Ye family that made all the clan members feel a strong sense of belonging, I'm afraid the Ye family would have been crushed before the people from the three major families even arrived.

  However, now all the disciples of the Ye family can shout loudly. The Ye family is not without people, what if the older generation disappeared? The Ye family still has us, as long as we exist, the Ye family will never collapse.

  Moreover, the disciples knelt down and wept, saying: "The ancestors of the Ye family, have you seen? The evil wolf has come. We, the descendants of the Ye family, will not bring shame to our ancestors. Our ancestral spirits are watching from above. Even if it's just a junior member of the family who is in charge, the Ye family will never lose face before others. As long as the wolf dares to come, even if we die, we must cut off one of its arms and let its fresh blood flow."

  At that moment, all the disciples of the Ye family were infected, and they all knelt down and wept, shouting: "The ancestors of the Ye family are above, the Ye family has no inferior descendants. As long as the wolf dares to come, even if it's death, I will cut off his arm and shed his fresh blood!!"

  For years, the people of Yunshui Castle have been fighting against all kinds of monsters. Living in a world of blood and fire, no one wants to become a monster's prey. The Ye family has gone through a drastic change after the clan meeting, and overnight, all the top masters of the family disappeared. Then, the three big families will join forces and come like a dark cloud, weighing heavily on the heads of all the Ye family disciples, making it hard for them to breathe.

  But now, the heavens have opened their eyes, and the Heavens will not destroy the Ye family. Ye Gu Cheng, that former waste, can today wield his sword to slay demons in front of all the Ye family disciples. Can we, who were once the elite of the Ye family, still retreat?

  No, absolutely not! The wolf is here, even if I die, I will cut off his arm and let out his fresh blood!!!

  It can be said that the matter of Ye Gu Cheng gave a huge shock to every member of the Ye family. Indeed, the good-for-nothing who was once ridiculed by them now dares to wield his sword at heroes. How could they, who were once elites, retreat in such a time of great difficulty for the family?

  At this moment, all the disciples of the Ye family felt a stronger sense of belonging in their hearts. Tens of thousands of people were united as one, and a shocking war intent burst into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color. Even the three tribes' heroes from a mile away were startled.

  However, in the Ye Lin Purple Mansion Immortal Realm, a powerful thought force surged out from the millions of gray divine thrones in the Wanxiang Temple, transformed into a vast golden cloud, and condensed above the head of the Ye Lin God statue in the Wanxiang Temple, astonishing even the Purple Golden Dragon Deity hiding in the Zi Ji Tian Yang.

  "Is this, is this the power of thought? Legend has it that the great goddess Nüwa created humanity and achieved the Great Luo Heavenly Path with the collective thoughts of all people. Could it be..." Even the proud and arrogant Zi Jin Long Shen dared not say another word after speaking to this point.

  Similarly, Ye Lin, who was in the midst of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth and creating the Wanxiang Divine Fist, had a surge of rolling thoughts emerge from the Wanxiang Temple, transforming into a golden cloud that condensed on top of the divine image. In an instant, a clear energy flowed through Ye Lin's mind, clearing his thoughts. The various unresolved questions during his cultivation were suddenly resolved, and the Tianpeng Way was transformed by him into a powerful fist technique, merging with the Wanxiang Divine Fist. Although it was still simple, with only one word "fast", it also caused Ye Lin's aura to erupt once again.

  Ahhhhh!!!!!

  A majestic bird of prey slowly emerged from the top of Ye Lin's head, transforming into a gigantic Peng that filled the sky. As soon as its beak sucked in air, the entire atmosphere erupted in chaos, rolling in with great momentum. If not for Ye Fan and his companions' aura sealing off this place, and the tens of thousands of Ye family disciples stirring up the winds earlier, who knows what kind of massive storm would have been triggered.

  Ye Lin opened his eyes and gazed forward, saying: "The 19th Heavenly Tribulation? Haha, it's really something to look forward to!!"

  As he spoke, he also began to watch the battle between Ye Gucheng and Shangguan Hongfei, and the turbulent aura on his body gradually subsided.

  Ye Gu Cheng's left arm was injured, his eyes fixed on the front, his expression unchanged, but in his heart he was rapidly turning, wanting to quickly recover his left arm.

  A swordsman, although the right hand wields the sword, but the left hand is the best balance point. No matter how to make a move, the left-hand sword decision is indispensable. Now Ye Gu Cheng's left arm is injured, which can be said to be the biggest blow to him, even affecting the future display of Ye Gu Cheng's swordsmanship, and thus affecting the entire battlefield at present.

  However, at this time, Shang Guan Hongfei's face was extremely dark, and he coldly stared at Ye Gucheng. If his gaze could kill, Ye Gucheng would have been killed countless times.

  Looking at Shangguan Hongfei's face, Ye Guancheng smiled casually and asked: "What? Not fighting anymore?"

  Ye Gucheng is stalling for time, he needs to recover his left arm, otherwise it will have a huge impact on his swordsmanship.

  Shangguan Hongfei's eyes turned cold, but after all, he was a well-known figure and couldn't afford to engage in a war of words with Ye Guancheng, a junior member of the Ye family. Either way, whether he won or lost, his reputation would suffer greatly.

  However, Ye Gu Cheng's words heavily struck him. Ye Gu Cheng's left arm was hit by his true energy and has affected the display of his superior swordsmanship. Nevertheless, Danggui Hongfei also had a bitter self-awareness now. He was stabbed in the right shoulder by Ye Gu Cheng's sword, not only did he suffer a crippling injury to his shoulder, but more importantly, Danggui Hongfei cultivated the Wan Shou Wang Fist which belonged to the innate and was created by an extremely powerful innate True Person. To truly cultivate this fist method, one must comprehend the essence of the myriad beasts.

  However, Shangguan Hong's bloodline power was extremely strong, but his comprehension was extremely low. He couldn't even reach the level of beast blood transformation for this fist method. Therefore, he cultivated a very demonic beast arm. As long as this beast arm existed, he could smoothly display the Ten Thousand Beasts Fist Method. However, to cultivate the beast arm, one must have the blood of a great demon. In the past, on the Eastern Sea, he used others to kill a great demon and obtained a portion of its pure blood at the risk of his own life. He then refined it into his right arm, allowing him to truly cultivate the Ten Thousand Beasts Fist Method. Now that his right arm was injured by Ye Guancheng, it was equivalent to destroying his lifelong efforts. How could his face look good?

  "Kill!!"

  Even so, Shangguan Feiyu was still a demon slayer, his eyesight was still there, he knew that Ye Guancheng had also reached the final moment, as long as he added a bit of strength, he must kill this little bastard and restore his own dignity, therefore, even if his beast arm was disabled, he decided to take action.

  "Welcome!!!"

  Ye Gu Cheng also let out a loud shout, using his waistband to tie his left arm behind him, and with his right hand wielding his sword, he once again clashed with Shangguan Hongfei.

  "Ten Thousand Beast Fist!!!!!!"

  "Lightning Slash!!!"

  Neither of them spared themselves from their serious injuries, using all their strength to strike with all their might.

  BOOM!!!

  A loud crash, and in an instant, both people were blown back by a tremendous force.

  Gasp!!

  The two were still in mid-air, not yet landing, when they suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The difference was that the entire right arm of Shangguan Hongfei had been shattered into powder by the overbearing true energy, and he fell to the ground together with Ye Guancheng, unable to get up.

  "Save him!!"

  Both sides rushed out one person each to check.

  Ye Lin arrived at Ye Gu Cheng's side, his orange eyes scanning him as he said, "Well done, Ye Gu Cheng."

  He saw clearly that Ye Gu Cheng's arms were all shattered by Shangguan Hongfei's powerful fist, but in contrast, he had ruined all of Shangguan Hongfei's hopes!!!
