Chapter 599: Chapter 646, I Will Reduce This Place to Ashes and Smoke

Zhou Yuankai scoffed, not believing Fang Yi’s words and taking it as an empty threat. With a cold laugh, he said, "Fang Yi, you sure have an imagination, thinking you can blow up the gate of our Iron Fist Sect. With what will you do it? That’s a joke!"

Fang Yi’s expression remained calm as he lightly said, "I mean what I say."

Zhou Yuankai replied, "I really look forward to seeing how you plan on blowing up the gate of our Iron Fist Sect." He didn’t believe Fang Yi’s words at all.

Fang Yi didn’t insist on making Zhou Yuankai believe; he, too, would never have believed if their positions were reversed. But who could predict the truth?

Fang Yi spoke, "Since I have already arrived, your son Zhou Kui has invited me to take a tour inside the Iron Fist Sect. Zhou Yuankai, would you be so kind as to lead the way? I am quite curious to see what the Iron Fist Sect is really like."

"Fearing you’re too cowardly to come in!" Zhou Yuankai huffed coldly and turned to leave.

But Fang Yi was far from a coward. Since he dared come here, what comes must be faced, and surely Fang Yi was not afraid. He walked at the forefront, following Zhou Yuankai and the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect inside.

Climbing the steps one by one, Fang Yi remained tranquil, his composure as steady as a stone at the bottom of a lake, motionless and unflustered.

Inside the Iron Fist Sect, many disciples looked on with menacing eyes, their faces twisted with ferocity. Just as Fang Yi and the others entered, the grand gates behind them closed shut.

They were surrounded by Iron Fist Sect disciples, encircling them at the center of a trap meant for easy capture.

"Are they trying to trap us like turtles in a jar?" Lin Shang glanced at the disciples with a hint of a smile on his lips.

Ye Hong declared in a deep voice, "But they’re not enough to give us a challenge!"

The elder Ye Ge raised his hand to signify silence.

At that moment, Zhou Yuankai stepped forward, addressing Ye Ge and his grandson, "Elder Ye, you and your grandson can still leave now. Otherwise, when fists start flying later, there will be no chance for regrets."

Ye Ge’s expression was ice-cold as he retorted, "Perhaps I have been in seclusion for too long and have forgotten my past. No matter, I shall not bully you youngsters. Go, call Zhou Hai out to me."

Zhou Yuankai protested, "My grandfather is not someone you can simply summon at will."

Ye Ge’s eyes blazed with a fierce chill, "Do you take my usual gentleness as a sign of weakness?"

In the next moment, Ye Ge suddenly made his move.

It was just one punch, but to Zhou Yuankai’s pupils, it loomed large, leaving him no place to hide. Fang Yi and the others watched in astonishment; Ye Ge’s strike was too fast to be seen.

This was an attack of a Heavenly Level expert, utterly too swift to see.

The punch surged towards Zhou Yuankai’s forehead, a fierce wind sweeping from Ye Ge’s fist. Zhou Yuankai’s hair stood on end, his pores tightened and his body spontaneously tensed.

Ye Ge’s punch ultimately did not land on Zhou Yuankai’s forehead. Had it connected, Zhou Yuankai would have been left dead or severely disabled.

Even so, Zhou Yuankai was left gasping for breath, his face covered with large beads of sweat, and his shirt soaked with cold perspiration from the back. It felt as though he had narrowly escaped from the gates of death, an experience that was deeply unpleasant and filled him with genuine fear.

"Go call Zhou Hai out. I wish to speak to him," Ye Ge commanded coldly, his voice full of authority.

Such was the power of a Heavenly Level master; without acting, they were harmless, but once they struck, it was terrifying to the extreme.

Zhou Yuankai dared not say more and was about to turn away when a voice rang out, "Elder Ye, as a senior, why must you bully our younger generation?"

A man slightly older than Zhou Yuankai emerged, in his forties, in the prime of his life, radiating an intimidating aura that befit someone in command.

Seeing this person, Zhou Yuankai breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly approached the middle-aged man, saying, "Big brother, this old rogue Ye does not put anyone in his eyes. Take him down quickly!"

In Zhou Yuankai’s view, although Ye Ge was a Heavenly Level expert, his big brother was also of Heavenly Level, and this was their home ground, where they held all the advantages.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and hissed in a low voice, "Shameful thing, roll back to the rear!"

An invisible slap struck Zhou Yuankai’s face hard.

The middle-aged man’s frosty expression instantly receded, and then he turned to Ye Ge with a gentle smile on his face, saying, "Elder Ye, my younger brother has offended you just now, please forgive him."

A flexible old fox!

In the hearts of the onlookers, this judgement about the middle-aged man instantly formed; in terms of seniority in the martial arts way, he was clearly much higher than Zhou Yuankai.

But of course, if he did not have profound knowledge, how could he hold the position of Sect Leader of the Iron Fist Sect, and how could he control such a large Iron Fist Sect?

The middle-aged man’s gaze shifted to Fang Yi, still wearing a mild smile on his face, "I presume you are Fang Yi, aren’t you? Truly, the waves behind drive those before, emerging to excel the ones that came before. My name is Zhou Tong, I am the Sect Leader of the Iron Fist Sect. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Although the other party was amiable, he was definitely armed with a hidden dagger in his smile; Fang Yi never believed that enemies would be merciful.

Fang Yi replied with a feigned smile, "The later waves push the earlier ones; the earlier ones die on the beach. Sect Leader Zhou, I have arrived as promised; let the person go."

Zhou Tong shook his head, "I cannot release them."

Fang Yi’s expression tightened slightly, "I have kept my promise by coming here, Sect Leader Zhou, do you intend to break your promise?"

In fact, Fang Yi had already anticipated this outcome, but he preferred not to fight; after all, if it truly came to a fight, those who would get hurt would be his brothers beneath him, and there was no need for that.

But since Zhou Tong was reluctant to release the hostage, Fang Yi would have to take the most extreme path, and he was not a man to shy away from trouble.

"Heh, when did I ever make a promise to you?" Zhou Tong said, "That woman is your subordinate, yet she sought to kill the Sect Leader of our sect. If I were to release her just like that, who would compensate for the damage to my reputation? Moreover, that woman is a disciple of the Desire Sect, and this matter concerns the relationship between two sects. You are merely a nobody, and it’s not your turn to instruct the Sect Leader."

Fang Yi, boiling with rage inside, said coldly, "State your conditions."

Zhou Tong chuckled and said, "It’s not like there’s no chance for compensation. Fang Yi, if you cripple your own hands and feet, I will not only release that woman but also spare you. How about it?"

"Utterly ridiculous!" Lin Shang, by his side, became furious, "Zhou Tong, you go too far!"

"Indeed, taking a hostage to threaten others, resorting to such despicable acts, detestable!" Ye Hong also shouted.

Ye Ge’s expression was as still as water as he spoke in a deep voice, "Zhou Tong, I didn’t expect you to be even crueler than your father, Zhou Hai. If you insist on being ruthless, don’t blame me for not being polite."

Zhou Tong’s smile faded away, and his gaze turned icy and contemptuous, "Ye Ge, with my father protecting the Iron Fist Sect, you too will come without returning."

Relying on being on his own turf, Zhou Tong felt fearless.

Fang Yi took a step forward, his eyes flashing with cold lightning, "Zhou Tong, do you know the consequences of what you’re doing?"

Zhou Tong, mocking and self-assured, said, "If you can stir up trouble on my territory, I’m willing to submit to my fate."

"Not only submitting to your fate, but your entire Iron Fist Sect will pay the price," Fang Yi said coldly.

Since things had come to this point, with nothing left to discuss, Fang Yi no longer had any reservations.

"I want to see what trouble you can stir up!" Zhou Tong scoffed with disdain.

Fang Yi met his cold, fierce gaze without fear, speaking softly, "Lin Shang, tell them to get started!"

Lin Shang revealed a cruel smile, saying firmly, "Alright!"

Fang Yi’s face was as cold as ice as he whispered in an inaudible voice, "I will reduce this place to ashes."
