Chapter 403: Chapter 397: Rebuke

Bang!

Under the impact of the golden arc light that spanned several dozen feet, Yan Kun’s body flew backward like a dead fish, split in two by the rushing ice-blue Spiritual Power, blood spewing like arrows, and the sound of the sword entering flesh sounded immediately.

Yan Kun was gravely wounded by Ye Zhen’s sword!

But this was just the beginning.

Ye Zhen’s figure flashed, following like a shadow, pouring Divine Soul Power into the First Sword Vein, one golden arc light after another howled out, bombarding Yan Kun!

"No!"

"Ye Zhen, stop now, you mustn’t kill, hurry!"

It was then, that Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang, having regained her senses, cried out. In the moment of her outcry, Hai Luoshuang’s figure flashed wildly, rushing towards Ye Zhen.

Unexpectedly, under Hai Luoshuang’s cry, Ye Zhen actually retracted his sword.

However, the Origin Sword Vein that Ye Zhen had struck did not stop!

Hiss!

The third golden Origin Sword Vein suddenly pierced through the center of Yan Kun’s forehead.

Swipe!

Yan Kun’s body, split from the forehead down, gushed forth with the copious and surging Qi and blood of a Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist, leading to a rain of blood from the sky.

Bang!

The split corpse of Yan Kun abruptly fell to the ground, each half of his eyes bulging out, filled with terror!

In an instant, everyone froze.

The hand that Hai Luoshuang had just stretched out also stiffened, and even the screaming Yan Shaqi’s cries halted for a moment because of this bizarre scene.

No one expected that Ye Zhen would actually kill Deputy Tower Master Yan Kun.

Before this, everyone thought that Ye Zhen wanted to kill Yan Kun, merely as the impulsive words of youth.

Even Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang was prepared to save Ye Zhen from under Yan Kun’s grip at the crucial moment, determined not to let Yan Kun harm Ye Zhen.

Everyone knew that Ye Zhen was the number one on Black Dragon Ranking, this Cultivator of merely Second Stage Spirit Transformation Realm, number one of Black Dragon Ranking, had the ability to defeat beings at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, even had the potential to defeat Soul Sea Realm warriors of the First, Second, or even Triple Stage.

On this point, everyone believed.

After all, the number one of each Black Dragon Ranking had this capability.

But killing, that was absolutely impossible!

Defeating and killing were completely different difficulties, especially since everyone believed that Ye Zhen could not possibly defeat the Peak Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, Yan Kun.

Yet, Ye Zhen not only defeated him, but also killed him.

Because of this, several martial artists of the Stars Tower even rubbed their eyes, wondering if it was an illusion?

In fact, the intensely strong smell of blood already told them that this was definitely not an illusion.

The most shocked was, in truth, Hai Luoshuang.

Hai Luoshuang believed that during the Black Dragon Ranking competition, she had witnessed Ye Zhen’s true hidden strength, thus, she believed that Ye Zhen could not defeat Yan Kun.

However, here, Ye Zhen gave her another surprise.

Or rather, he struck her like a bolt of lightning!

It should be said that in the Black Dragon Ranking competition, Hai Luoshuang indeed grasped Ye Zhen’s hidden strength, aside from the War Soul Blood Banner.

But after receiving the Dragon Spirit reward, Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein had tripled in size, its power may not have exploded threefold, but it was close.

What was even more lethal was that this time, before everyone else arrived, Ye Zhen had activated the War Soul Blood Banner Blessing, which doubled the combat power of him and the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

Before the blessing, Ye Zhen already had the strength to confront Soul Sea Realm warriors of the Second and Third Stages head-on, with the blessing of the War Soul Blood Banner after that, it was not difficult for Ye Zhen to kill Yan Kun using a special secret skill.

Especially the Illusion Domain from the Phantom Soul Beast King played a decisive role in this battle.

Because of the delay caused by the condensed illusions, Yan Kun had no choice but to take Ye Zhen’s Origin Sword Vein head-on using his physical body, receiving a severe injury with just one strike.

If not for the influence of the Illusion Domain, even if Yan Kun could not withstand Ye Zhen’s Origin Sword Vein, he definitely would not have been so grievously injured that he lost the power to resist and then get killed.

Ah....

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was still steadfastly following Ye Zhen’s command, inflicting unbearable agony on Yan Shaqi with minimal movement.

At the same time, the cries of astonishment from Yan Shaqi also awakened the martial artists who had been stunned just moments before.

With a movement, Ye Zhen stepped in front of Yan Shaqi.

At this moment, Yan Shaqi, except for his vital chest and abdomen, had almost turned into a skeleton, and if not for the support from Spiritual Power, he would have died long ago.

But even if not dead, he was barely breathing.

"Ye... Ye Zhen... kill... kill me... give me... a quick death!"

"Please... I beg you... quickly!"

The miserable voice made the already stopped protector Wei Chen frown, by now saving Yan Shaqi was no longer possible.

"Ye Zhen, things have come to this, there’s no need to overkill, grant him a quick death," Wei Chen said.

"A quick death?"

Ye Zhen swirled his hand, hurling Yan Shaqi directly in front of the bodies of Banxia’s family of three, grabbing Yan Shaqi’s hair fiercely, "Look, look at the deathly appearance of these three people, why didn’t you grant them a quick death at that time?"

"I also know the saying ’don’t overkill when murdering,’ but look, Banxia’s mother, all her fingers were worn down to bare bones? How tragic must it have been to make an ordinary person wear down her fingers to such an extent?"

"Why didn’t you give them a quick death?"

"Ah?"

"Kneel down and apologize to them!"

Bang!

Ye Zhen fiercely pressed Yan Shaqi’s head to the ground, nearby, protector Wei Chen’s face flushed red.

"Yan Shaqi, do you remember a phrase I once said?"

Watching Yan Shaqi’s faltering demeanor, Ye Zhen suddenly revealed an extremely cruel smile.

Yan Shaqi opened his eyes in a daze.

"I’ve said, my Cloud Winged Tiger King never eats people, but today, it will break that rule!"

"Kitten, eat him!"

"Start from the feet, inch by inch, crush his bones, let him slowly feel the approach of death!" Ye Zhen suddenly ordered the kitten.

Crack!

The sound of bones crushing, which made one’s teeth sour, had just begun when Yan Shaqi finally reacted.

"No...no....don’t...."

Yan Shaqi struggled violently, rolling around, staining the ground crimson with his blood, but the Cloud Winged Tiger King kitten still faithfully carried out Ye Zhen’s commands, biting steadily, chewing Yan Shaqi’s bones...

Watching this scene, everyone there felt a chill, rushing from their feet to their foreheads!

Almost everyone thought — in the future, never let Ye Zhen catch you committing evil deeds!

"Let’s go, Brother Du, let’s drink!"

"Sure, let’s drink!"

"Hahaha, today we shall drink three hundred cups!"

Laughing, Ye Zhen and Du Xinglei linked arms and moved on, their hearty laughter containing an indescribable anger!

What mattered that he had killed Yan Kun?

What mattered that he had killed Yan Shaqi?

In the end, the family of Banxia couldn’t be brought back...

In the sky, the Stars Tower Master watched the writhing, screaming mess that was Yan Shaqi on the ground, and then glanced at the bodies of Banxia’s family of three, his eyes eventually turning icy!

However, when looking at the body of Yan Kun, concern filled his fair eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s matters must not be spoken of! As for the death of Deputy Tower Master Yan, I will personally report it to the main building..."

....

"Ugh...."

The next day, when Ye Zhen woke up, it was already afternoon, and he was on the brink of a headache.

Perhaps fueled by rage, Ye Zhen and Du Xinglei had competed fiercely in drinking without using any spiritual power, on the contrary, they consumed jar after jar of the spirit wine provided for free by Stars Tower.

However, Ye Zhen made a friend in Du Xinglei.

Regardless of anything else, being able to stand up at that time showed Du was indeed a person of moral principles.

"Brother Ye, you’re awake! I’ve already arranged for Banxia’s family to be buried... ah..." Mentioning this, Du Xinglei sighed again.

"Right, Tower Master Hai said to see him once you wake up."

"Tower Master Hai is looking for me? Alright! I’ll be right there; tonight, let’s cross swords again!"

"Sure!"

.....

In the attic of Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang, Hai Luoshuang looked at the drunken Ye Zhen with a serious face, troubled by a severe headache of her own.

"Ye Zhen, why did you go ahead and kill Yan Kun yesterday?"

"Not kill him, and wait for him to annihilate my entire family?"

"Not kill him, and let him continue harming others?"

"Speaking of which, Tower Master Hai, I’m very disappointed with this Stars Tower! Who would have thought, under your watch, such things could happen? Could it be, has Star Luo City turned into a place for Stars Tower to shelter filth?"

....

Ye Zhen rebuked, leaving Hai Luoshuang speechless.

She couldn’t scold Ye Zhen, but to her surprise, he had scolded her into silence.

Actually, she had heard of Yan Shaqi’s evil deeds; however, knowing they were minor, she didn’t take them seriously. After yesterday’s incident, she was shocked upon investigating.

Just within Star Luo City, more than twenty young women were abducted by Yan Shaqi, half of whom had never been seen again since their abduction.

"This... I overlooked..."

If any of the protectors of Stars Tower were present, they would be stunned.

Everyone knew that Tower Master Hai Luoshuang was extremely dominant, but now she was actually admitting her mistake to Ye Zhen?

"However, I didn’t call you here today for a scolding! There’s something you must be informed of!" Hai Luoshuang said.

"What is it?"

"Ye Zhen, by killing Yan Kun, you have stirred up a huge trouble! Moreover, killing Yan Kun in public, this cannot be suppressed!" Hai Luoshuang said.

"Big trouble? What, are you, the tower master, seeking revenge for your deputy?" Didn’t you say the people in Stars Tower are free to come and go, without hierarchy... "

"Ye Zhen, shut up!"

Hai Luoshuang suddenly flared up.

"Revenge for the deputy tower master? Had I wanted to deal with you, I would have done so yesterday, do you think I would have allowed you to wander freely till now?"

"Then what is it?" Ye Zhen looked puzzled.

"His background, Yan Kun’s background!"

"What about his background?"

"You must have perceived that Stars Tower is a massive organization that spans across the True Profound Continent, with branch towers in every subdivision on the continent.

Each tower master and deputy of these branch towers are involved in tremendous interests. Even though the Black Dragon Domain is somewhat remote and barren, the annual interests involved are astronomical!"

"In such a scenario, the positions of each branch tower’s master and deputy are extremely important, and they are the focus of power struggles within the main building of Stars Tower.

And Yan Kun came from one of the most distinguished families within the main building of Stars Tower..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
