Chapter 142: Chapter 140 Can’t Play You to Death (Second Update, Subscription Requested)

An eight-zhang-long Sword Gang slashed towards Pan Wei, almost arriving in an instant.

In that moment, Pan Wei was astounded by Ye Zhen’s thunderclap-like move; he hadn’t expected Ye Zhen to dare to strike so mercilessly. Moreover, the speed of Ye Zhen’s attack was too fast, so fast that Pan Wei couldn’t dodge and had no choice but to withstand it!

Yet, as he looked at that eight-zhang-long Sword Gang, Pan Wei’s heart felt as though it was falling into a bottomless abyss, sinking continuously.

At the critical moment, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from behind the small building!

"How dare you! Within the General’s Mansion, this is not a place where you can misbehave!"

A dazzling spear light slanted out, aiming for Ye Zhen’s Sword Gang.

Just when everyone thought that the spear light would stop Ye Zhen’s Sword Gang, Ye Zhen’s Sword Gang suddenly contracted, shrinking from eight zhang to five, and its power surged!

Crack!

An iron-cast spearhead was cut into two by the Sky Crystal Sword, but the residual force of Ye Zhen’s Sword Gang still slashed down towards Pan Wei’s head.

"Young master!"

"No!"

Exclamations suddenly rang out all at once.

The spear light that had given Pan Wei half a moment’s time only allowed for Pan Wei’s Protective Gang Qi to burst forth from his body.

However, Pan Wei’s Protective Gang Qi was as flimsy as paper before the residual power of Ye Zhen’s Sword Gang.

Before his breakthrough, Ye Zhen had no difficulty slaying martial artists of the True Essence Fifth Realm; now that his cultivation had broken through to the Spirit Summoning Realm, and with Sword Vein Divine Power enhancing his sword techniques, slaying martial artists of the True Essence Fifth Realm was as easy as eating and drinking for him.

In a flash, Pan Wei’s Protective Gang Qi was torn apart, and at the moment when a line of blood seeped out from his forehead, a sword light came streaking swiftly from beside and behind Ye Zhen, lunging at Ye Zhen’s Sky Crystal Sword.

The two sword lights collided fiercely, and both Ye Zhen and the attacker stepped back at the same time.

This scene caused Ren Xihua, Xia Man, and Yin Zibo, who were following closely behind, to change their complexions simultaneously.

Could Ye Zhen actually match Han Shi, who was on an equal footing?

It should be noted that Han Shi is the fourth-ranked on the Heavenly List, possessing late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm cultivation, which is extremely formidable.

Even though there were reasons for Han Shi’s hasty intervention, Ye Zhen’s sword momentum had still broken through powerful foes.

"Senior Brother Han?"

"Why are you stopping me?"

Ye Zhen, sword in hand, moved, clearly intending to make a move again.

The Han Shi blocking Ye Zhen moved with his sword, positioning himself once again in front of Ye Zhen.

"Junior Brother Ye, I can’t stand by and watch you create a disaster. The third son of the Right Guard General’s Mansion is not someone you can just chop down casually," Han Shi said.

At this time, the black-clothed elder who had just launched the spear was also guarding in front of Pan Wei. Pan Wei himself was terrified by the previous scare and didn’t dare to make a sound; that moment had truly felt like a walk around the Ghost Gate.

"Senior Brother Han, step aside!"

Han Shi’s expression suddenly darkened: "Ye Zhen, I don’t care what you do in the future, but absolutely not today! It’s fine if you want to kill someone, but don’t involve us, your fellow disciples!"

"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Han has family members serving as officials in the court..." Ren Xihua said through secret transmission.

Seeing the two in a standoff, the others also started to mediate. However, a single sentence from Xia Man immediately dissipated Ye Zhen’s intent to kill.

"Senior Brother Ye, if you insist on killing Pan Wei now, I fear that after Pan Wei’s death, the entire clan of this young girl will be vengefully slaughtered," Xia Man said.

This was indeed a possibility.

Turning around, Ye Zhen helped up the young girl whose face was stained with tearful shock; and you know, although the girl was not as heartbreakingly beautiful as Liao Feibai or Caiyi, she still had a pitiable charm.

"Miss, you should leave quickly!"

"Take this one thousand taels in banknotes and have your whole family flee far away."

Since he couldn’t kill Pan Wei right now, Ye Zhen had to make sure this family was arranged for.

Although the young girl offered her thanks, she insisted on not accepting the banknotes, but after Ye Zhen persuaded her a few times, she left with the banknotes, wiping her tears away.

"Huff!"

Ye Zhen let out a sigh of relief and pointed his sword at Pan Wei, "Pan, I will spare your life today, but if you dare to commit evil again, I will not be lenient!"

By this point, Pan Wei was completely cowed, not daring to make a sound, having been truly frightened just then.

"Here is your bill from the Qiyun Sect, I am here today to collect a debt, pay it off quickly!"

Upon seeing this bill, Pan Wei’s nose was nearly bent out of shape from anger.

He was confused about what was happening, as Ye Zhen had brought people to storm the Right Guard General Mansion. He thought Ye Zhen had come specifically to cause him trouble, but it turned out to be simply about the debt.

With that, his confidence suddenly surged.

With a flair of his nostrils, Pan Wei retorted, "You want money? I have none, but I have a life you can take!"

At this point, he was sure that Ye Zhen wouldn’t kill him and began to brazenly act the scoundrel.

Ye Zhen’s expression darkened and with a flick of his long sword, he challenged, "Really?"

"Junior Brother Ye!"

Seeing the murderous aura overflowing from Ye Zhen, Han Shi’s face changed, clearly signaling a reminder to Ye Zhen.

Emboldened by Han Shi’s call, Pan Wei thumped his chest with a racket that echoed, "I don’t have the money, but I have a worthless life; come and take it if you’ve got the guts!"

In an instant, Ye Zhen moved again!

But as Ye Zhen made his move, Han Shi, who was protecting Pan Wei, and the black-clothed elder, also moved. The black-clothed elder was also at the mid-stage Spirit Summoning Realm in cultivation, and with him and Han Shi protecting, Ye Zhen had no chance of dealing with Pan Wei!

"Senior Brother Han, I am collecting debts for the sect, step aside!"

"The debts of the princes and nobles of Black Water King’s City, is this how you go about collecting them?"

But Han Shi had firmly taken the side of the princes and nobles of Black Water King’s City.

"Step aside!"

"Not a chance!"

Ye Zhen’s eyes narrowed immediately, and his long sword slanted to point directly at Han Shi.

"What, does Junior Brother Ye want to test my weight?" Han Shi’s whole body burst with Spirit Light, his aura and battle intent soaring.

Ye Zhen’s sword momentum also surged wildly, and as the Winter Plum Intent rose in an instant, even though the bright sun shone above him, a chill pierced to the bone!

"Winter Plum Intent? Junior Brother Ye, with this alone, you still can’t beat me, right? I can do this too!"

A similar intent rose from Han Shi, but his Winter Plum Intent was colder and had less vitality.

There stood Ye Zhen, with a slight tremor of his long sword, exuding the feeling of Winter Plum blossoming against the wind.

"Senior Brother Han, my apologies!"

Almost the moment Han Shi employed his Winter Plum Intent, Ye Zhen stepped sideways at an angle and struck with ’Winter Plum in the Wind’ towards Han Shi.

"Winter Plum in the Wind?"

With a sneer, Han Shi also stepped sideways at an angle, countering with his own ’Winter Plum in the Wind’ towards Ye Zhen.

Their long swords vibrated simultaneously, each conjuring up myriad Sword Lights of Winter Plum, thrusting at each other.

At that moment, Han Shi’s expression changed.

Ren Xihua, Xia Man, and Yine Zibo were also startled.

Facing the same technique, Winter Plum in the Wind, Ye Zhen actually unleashed thirteen bursts of Winter Plum Sword Light, yet Han Shi, who was ranked fourth on the Heavenly List, managed only twelve!

Do not underestimate the disparity of a single Winter Plum Sword Light.

The difference of one spoke to the gap between the pinnacle and the grand achievement of the Winter Plum Swordsmanship.

Thirteen bursts of Winter Plum Sword Light were indeed the hallmark of mastering the Winter Plum Swordsmanship to its peak.

In other words, Ye Zhen’s expertise in the Winter Plum Swordsmanship was far deeper than that of Han Shi, who was fourth on the Heavenly List.

"Senior Brother Han, you are about to lose!"

Han Shi was both shocked and enraged; he had painstakingly practiced the Winter Plum Swordsmanship for two years, while Ye Zhen had only been an Inner Sect Disciple for about a year.

And yet, Ye Zhen’s proficiency in the sword technique was deeper than his!

"Hmph, not necessarily!"

With a cold snort, spiritual power surged around Han Shi, and the size of his twelve bursts of Winter Plum Sword Light suddenly increased more than twofold.

Han Shi was actually trying to overpower Ye Zhen through sheer cultivation.

Ye Zhen showed no fear whatsoever; as his thirteen bursts of Winter Plum Sword Light went forth to meet the challenge, he pinched a sword technique with his empty left hand, and in an instant, a thirty-foot long True Essence Sword Finger shot out.

The True Essence Sword Finger shifted and transformed into another Winter Plum in the Wind that faced Han Shi head-on.

This swift and rapid sword strike, assailing Han Shi by surprise, caused him to change color in alarm and hastily step back.

"Kitten!"

"Roar!"

In the midst of Ye Zhen’s ferocious cry, the Cloud Winged Tiger that had been waiting by the side extended its wings and suddenly burst forth.

"Senior Brother Ye, you mustn’t!"

Thinking Ye Zhen intended to fight Han Shi tooth and nail, Ren Xihua suddenly cried out in alarm.

But the very next moment, the cries of alarm from Ren Xihua and the others came to an abrupt halt.

Because the pouncing Cloud Winged Tiger had unexpectedly targeted the black-clad elder guarding in front of Pan Wei.

How could a martial artist in the Mid-stage Spirit Summoning Realm possibly withstand the mighty pounce of a lower-grade earth level Demon Beast?

The moment Kitten swiftly knocked away the black-clad elder, Ye Zhen, who had just with his two swords forced Han Shi back, executed the Chasing Star Step at an angle. His figure then appeared extremely cunningly behind the triumphant Pan Wei.

Before Pan Wei could react, Ye Zhen had already seized his vital points and with swiftness, tapped thirty-six times. Employing the Spirit-Sealing Meridian Cutting Hand, Ye Zhen had directly sealed all of Pan Wei’s cultivation!

This scene rendered Ren Xihua, Xia Man, and Yine Zibo speechless.

Especially Ren Xihua, who, in the presence of Ye Zhen at that moment, felt utterly ashamed.

Compared with Ye Zhen, his status as a sect genius seemed insignificant.

"Ye Zhen, what are you doing? You must not kill!"

Han Shi, who had been repelled by Ye Zhen, bellowed angrily.

Ye Zhen simply nonchalantly shook the neck of Pan Wei, whom he was holding, and that alone pushed Han Shi back.

"Senior Brother Han, don’t yell. If you yell and my hand trembles, and I accidentally crush Pan Wei’s throat, what then?"

"Pan Wei, at this moment, do you choose money or your life?" Ye Zhen demanded.

At this time, Pan Wei, who was terrified to the point of losing all color, was oddly confident!

"Hmph, Ye Zhen, you definitely won’t kill me now! If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so in that split second just now!"

"Still the same words, I have no money, but I can spare a life!"

Pan Wei was right, Ye Zhen truly wasn’t going to kill him at this moment!

Even if Ye Zhen himself wasn’t afraid of retaliation from the Right Guard General Mansion, he had to consider Xia Man, Yine Zibo, and the others.

However, this didn’t mean Ye Zhen had run out of ways to deal with Pan Wei.

"You’re right, I indeed won’t kill you!" Ye Zhen flashed a toothy smile at Pan Wei, "But, I will play you to death!"

While speaking, Ye Zhen dragged Pan Wei to the gate of the Essence Courtyard, made a knot with a rope, bundled up Pan Wei’s limbs like a hanging dead pig, and hung him from the gatehouse!

With a swish of sword light, Pan Wei’s clothes were instantly stripped away, turning him into a naked pig, causing Xia Man to turn her head away in embarrassment.

"Ye Zhen, what are you going to do? Let me tell you, don’t mess around! I am the sole son of the Right Guard General!"

Now, Pan Wei started to panic!

"Hmph, you’re scared now?"

With a cold laugh, Ye Zhen casually beckoned the same cub that had just seriously injured the man in black by pouncing on him, "Kitty, come here, lick this guy’s butt a couple of times."

"Young Master Pan, I forgot to tell you, the tongue of a Cloud Winged Tiger is covered in barbs. One lick and slash!"

"It’s like being scraped by a steel brush, instantly scraping off a layer of flesh. Hey, if by accident it scrapes off something else, don’t blame me for not warning you! Come on, Kitty, go for it!" Ye Zhen commanded.

The Cloud Winged Tiger Cub pounced over, and his face turned pale.

Initially, the cub’s long tiger tongue had already stretched out, but right before licking Pan Wei’s butt, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub suddenly displayed an extremely human-like expression of disgust.

Violently, the tiger’s paw lunged forward!

"Ah...."

The moment chunks of flesh fell, Pan Wei screamed miserably.

"Young Master Pan, about that debt, are you going to pay it back or not?" Ye Zhen asked.

By now, Pan Wei was quite defiant, "I won’t pay! Ye Zhen, if you have the guts... play me to death today!"

"Fine, those are your own words!"

"However, it seems that this game isn’t quite satisfying enough!" Ye Zhen stroked his own chin, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyes lit up, pointing at Ren Xihua and exclaimed, "What, Junior Brother Ren, you mean to say hanging him from the gatehouse of the Right Guard General Mansion and letting the kitty take good care of him would be more fun!"

"Good, let’s do that! We’ll hang Pan Wei from the gatehouse of the Great General’s Mansion. It’s always busy there, and it’ll be exciting!"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen picked up Pan Wei, who was naked and dripping with blood from his buttocks, and really seemed to intend to hang him from the gatehouse of the Right Guard General’s Mansion.

Ren Xihua’s eyes bulged out like two eggs; when had he ever suggested such a terrible idea?

"Ye Zhen, you are shameless!"

Now, Pan Wei was utterly panicked.

If he were to be hung up and toyed with on his own front door like this, his life would truly be over; he’d never be able to hold his head up again.

He, Pan Wei, would definitely become the biggest joke among the nobility in Black Water Royal City!

"No, please, don’t!"

"I’ll pay, I’ll repay the debt, right away!"

Pan Wei’s screams, like those of a butchered pig, resounded through the area.

Ye Zhen laughed, while Ren Xihua, Xia Man, and Yine Zibo were left stunned.
