Chapter 17: Kill!

  The snake-shaped sword tip quivered lightly and suddenly a sharp, long whine rang out.

  It was only a quarter of an incense stick's time, but Wen Fangwu was castrated and lost his combat power. The Five Elements Formation could no longer be formed, and the five ancestors of the Wen family were no longer a threat. Although it lasted for a very short time, Ye Feng's understanding of the Golden Snake Swordsmanship had reached a new level.

  Since the purpose of tempering had been achieved, Ye Feng didn't dawdle either. With a casual wave of his hand, he drew a golden circle in mid-air and said calmly: "Time's almost up; it's time to send you all off to meet King Yan."

  Wen Fangda and others responded, a cold light flashed, and his body followed suit, a sword pierced Wen Fangwu's throat, blood spurted out, the latter let out a few mournful cries, fell to the ground, and instantly stopped breathing.

  Wen Fangda and the other three had not yet reacted, when Wen Fangwu was already killed by Ye Feng's sword. The disciples of the Shiliang Sect were stunned, their eyes wide with shock and terror.

  Among the five brothers, Wen Fangshi and Wen Fangwu were the closest. When Wen Fangwu was killed by Ye Feng's sword, his eyes immediately turned red with rage, and he roared: "You madman, come and take my life!"

  Wen Fangda's face changed and he shouted: "Fourth brother, no!"

  Wen Fang's words had just left his mouth when he suddenly threw four flying knives at Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng sneered: "Just in time!"

  The golden snake sword was held behind his back, his body like a ghost or a demon. Suddenly, he flashed to the left, stretching out his sleeve and waving it four times in quick succession. In an instant, he caught four flying knives, which then shot out of his sleeve again. The force and speed were as great as arrows shot from a strong crossbow, and the four flying knives stabbed into Wen Fangshi's chest, throat, and other vital areas on both sides.

  Wen Fang's eyes widened in shock as he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, incredulous: "How is this possible?" He fell to the ground and died immediately.

  It was strange that Wen Fangda, Wen Fangyi and Wen Fangshan stood still on the spot and did not lend a helping hand.

  Ye Feng smiled lightly and said: "What's wrong, don't you want to kill me? Why haven't you made a move?"

  Wen Fangdeng and Yan Yuese said: "Your Excellency's martial arts are powerful, we five old men are not your opponents. However, Your Excellency has no grudges against my Wen family..."

  Whoosh!

  A flash of golden light, a chill in the air, just as Wen Fangda was speaking, Ye Feng had already made his move, his body swiftly advancing forward, another sword strike, piercing Wen Fangda's throat.

  With one sword in hand, Ye Feng's body flashed back, and he made a "still as a pine, strong as a bamboo" move. His body was at a 45-degree angle to the ground, rotating clockwise for half a circle. Wen Fangyi was already within his attacking range. The snake-shaped sword tip lightly trembled, slashing through Wen Fangyi's carotid artery. After another half-circle rotation, Ye Feng stood back in his original position.

  All actions are done in one breath, like floating clouds and flowing water, elegant and natural to the extreme, taking no more than a short breath.

  Astonishment.

  Everyone was shocked and stared at Ye Feng in astonishment.

  Wen Fang stared at Ye Feng in shock, depression and unwillingness. He couldn't believe that just a moment ago they were still negotiating, but the next moment he was already dead, his face still with an unbelievable expression.

  Wen Fangyi's face was filled with a look of horror, the single knife had just been swung out and hadn't even returned to its defense when his throat was already slashed open. His right hand went limp and dropped down, making a "dang" sound as the single knife fell to the ground.

  Ye Feng snorted, turned up his lip and said: "Before you die, if you can't even recognize the situation, that's fine. But I reckon you'll still try to play hero later, coming on all fearless and daring, pshaw! Well, I won't give you the chance!"

  Wen Fangshan was furious, and with a stamp of his dragon-head steel cudgel, he pointed at Ye Feng and cursed: "Good, good 'Blood-handed Butcher'! It's easy for you to destroy my Wen family, but can you silence the whispers of Jianghu?! I'll tell you, even if you destroy my entire Wen family, you'll never be able to live in peace again!"

  Ye Feng said, "Thank you for your concern, I'll be careful in the future. Let's not chat idly, your four brothers have already left, hurry up too, or else you'll go down late and won't catch up, it will be lonely going alone."

  Wen Fangshan suddenly threw the dragon head steel staff aside, a hint of despair on his face, and sighed: "This old man can't fight you, if you want to kill me, then kill me."

  Ye Feng scratched the back of his head, embarrassed: "I, Ye, don't kill unarmed people, hurry up and take your weapon back."

  A hint of cunning flashed in Wen Fangshan's eyes as he said indignantly, "If you want to kill, then kill. What's with all the nonsense?!"

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "That's a good attitude, originally I didn't even dare to make a move... Since you strongly request it, then I'll fulfill your wish."

  Wen Fangshan was dumbfounded.

  With a flash of golden sword light, Ye Feng swung his hand and struck with one sword. The snake-shaped sword tip quivered lightly, and a streak of blood suddenly appeared on Wen Fangshan's throat. Fresh blood seeped out. The wound grew bigger and bigger.

  He instinctively stretched out his hand to cover his throat, but it was no use. He glanced at the dragon-headed steel club under his feet, and then he stared at Ye Feng with a venomous and resentful gaze, gritting his teeth in anger, as if he wanted to swallow him whole!

  Ye Feng sneered: "What? Not reconciled? Is it that you feel stifled, and in your heart you're still thinking: damn it, I've still got a big move left?"

  Ye Feng casually kicked the dragon head steel rod on the ground: "Isn't there a hidden weapon inside... Cut, it's not something that can be put on stage! I'm teasing you, and you really think that if you pretend to be pitiful, I'll let you go? Naive!"

  "Wen Fangshan looked puzzled and said: 'You... how...'"

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "How did I know there was a hidden weapon inside the Dragon Head Steel Gun?"

  Wen Fangshan gave a definite look.

  Yefeng smiled and said: "You want to know, but I won't tell you, let you die with a guilty conscience."

  Wen Fangshan suddenly widened his eyes and let out a shrill cry: "You, you——"

  Fresh blood flowed like water, gurgling down, and finally fell to the ground dead.

  Ye Feng's cold eyes swept over the crowd of Shi Liang Sect, and he sneered: "Jin She Lang Jun was killed by me, the secret book and treasure are on my body. Killing me will allow you to obtain unparalleled martial arts and boundless wealth, why not come up?"

  "Run!"

  "Run away quickly!"

  The Shi family's people let out a loud cry, and everyone suddenly became like frightened beasts, rolling and crawling to escape from the Wen family's mansion. In an instant, they escaped cleanly, and the Wen mansion seemed to have become a hell of Asura, except for the dead on the ground, it was eerily silent.

  "Look, you've seen enough, aren't you coming out?" Ye Feng said with a faint smile.

  Xia Xue smiled lightly and flashed into the courtyard.

  Ye Feng asked: "Has Miss Wen made arrangements?"

  Xia Xueyi nodded, and then sighed: "I thought I, Xia Xueyi, was a genius of unparalleled talent, but today, seeing Brother Ye break the Five Elements Formation, I realized that I am ultimately narrow-minded and self-aggrandizing, how laughable."

  Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Xia, you don't have to belittle yourself. In terms of natural talent, you are the best in this world, I was able to break through the Five Elements Formation mainly thanks to your credit. If it were just me alone, I may not necessarily be able to defeat you."

  Xia Xue stared at Ye Feng in confusion.

  Ye Feng smiled and didn't explain, lightly exhaling a breath of air. "Actually, as Xia brother said, no matter how high one's martial arts are, what does it matter? Whether or not we're happy depends on what we want, depends on whether our hearts are satisfied. Since Xia brother has already achieved his heart's desire, why bother seeking anything else?"

  Xia Xueyi's eyes lit up and she suddenly said: "Brother Ye is absolutely right, it seems I, Xia Xueyi, have fallen under a demonic spell."

  Ye Feng smiled, about to return the Golden Snake Sword, but Xia Xueyi waved her hand and said with a smile: "Since Brother Ye killed Golden Snake Lang Jun Xia Xueyi, this sword naturally belongs to Brother Ye." Before Ye Feng could respond, Xia Xueyi continued, "From now on, there will be no more Golden Snake Lang Jun Xia Xueyi in the world!"

  Ye Feng said: "Alright, I'll take this Golden Snake Sword for now. If fate permits, the day we meet again will be the day I return this treasure to you."

  By taking this sword, it's equivalent to shouldering all the schemes of those who covet the treasured swords and treasures for Xia Xueyi.

  "Alright, Brother Ye, let's part ways for now. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again."

  "Perhaps it will be a long time, but we must have another day of reunion!"

  Xia Xue said a word of "thank you", and the shackles in her heart were finally lifted, drifting away.

  Ye Feng's mouth corners rose with a hint of a smile, and he let out a relieved sigh.

  It's not easy for us to be together, so let's make the most of it.

  It was night, and the Wang family's mansion was ablaze, with flames illuminating the surrounding area for miles around.

  Killing Jin She Lang Jun Xia Xue Yi, seizing the treasure left by Jianwen Emperor, exterminating the Shi Liang Wen family, all of which are major events that shook the rivers and lakes.

  From tonight on, the name "Blood Hand Butcher" will spread like wildfire and be known throughout the nine provinces! In just a few months, his reputation will soar, and the two words "Ye Feng" will become the most frequently mentioned name in the Jianghu.
