Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Salted Fish Turns Over

Fang Bai slightly raised his head, watching Ye Renjie descend from the sky, a foot imbued with thunderbolts, his lips curling into a slight, contemptuous smile.

Ye Renjie’s foot arrived in an instant, just three feet above Fang Bai’s head.

Huang Zhong’s heart was about to leap out of his throat, seeing Fang Bai standing there motionless, seemingly petrified with fear, he couldn’t help but shout a reminder: "Senior Brother Fang, why aren’t you dodging!"

Just as the reminder echoed, Fang Bai suddenly moved.

"Scram!"

Fang Bai bellowed, his right hand instantly reaching out like lightning, grabbing Ye Renjie’s ankle at a speed beyond everyone’s imagination before hurling him towards the south side of the Practice Battle Arena.

Under the stunned gaze of the onlookers, Ye Renjie, whose ankle Fang Bai had grasped, seemed like a snake seized at its vital point, powerless to resist as his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, flung by Fang Bai.

More than ten feet on the south side of the arena was a small lake, a few miles in circumference. The water was not shallow, but the silt at the bottom could submerge an average person’s body.

"Splash!"

With a water splash, Ye Renjie, thrown by Fang Bai, traced a long arc in the air and then plunged head-first into the silt at the bottom of the lake.

He struggled hard, but his body felt limp, as if all strength was drained, sinking deeper. In the blink of an eye, only his calves remained above the lake surface.

"Senior Brother Fang, someone dying would be disastrous!"

Huang Zhong’s face flushed with excitement seeing Fang Bai fling Ye Renjie into the lake, jumping high, but in the next moment worry gripped him — if Ye Renjie died, both he and Fang Bai would be severely punished.

Especially himself, being just a menial servant disciple, nowhere near Fang Bai’s status, he could potentially be expelled from Lingxu Palace.

Thus, Huang Zhong shouted a reminder, hoping to prevent Fang Bai from impulsively letting Ye Renjie die.

Fang Bai smiled at him, put away the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, then strode to the lakeside, grabbed Ye Renjie’s left ankle, and gently pulled him out of the silt, tossing him beside the lake.

At this moment, Ye Renjie was covered in black silt all over, his features indistinguishable, appearing extremely weak and pitiful.

Confirming that Ye Renjie was not in mortal danger, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, gave Fang Bai a thumbs up, exclaiming excitedly: "Senior Brother Fang, you’re amazing!"

Huang Zhong never dreamt that the situation would end with Ye Renjie’s humiliating defeat, admiration and reverence for Fang Bai surging like an endless river.

Fang Bai glanced at Ye Renjie and said to Huang Zhong: "He humiliated you like that earlier; aren’t you going to take this opportunity for revenge?"

Huang Zhong looked at Ye Renjie, lying like a dead dog on the ground, knowing he could humiliate him at will without fear of retaliation, feeling quite tempted.

But soon, Huang Zhong thought that if he really did so, it would mean antagonizing Ye Renjie to the death, very disadvantageous for his future.

Thus Huang Zhong gave up the idea, sighing, "Forget it. After all, we are in the same sect..."

"Did he consider you a sect peer when he beat, cursed, and humiliated you earlier?"

Fang Bai knew Huang Zhong’s character was somewhat weak and irresolute, and with a frustrated tone, said: "Against this kind of person, you either don’t strike, or you strike to hurt him, so he’ll never dare to provoke you again. That is the true path!"

Huang Zhong’s expression fluctuated, struggling for a moment before ultimately not stepping forward.

Fang Bai shook his head, walked to Ye Renjie’s side, lifted his right foot, and stepped on Ye Renjie’s back, just as Ye Renjie had done to Huang Zhong before.

"Senior Brother Ye, karma is inescapable. I said earlier, how you humiliated Huang Zhong is how I will humiliate you, seeking justice for him! Now, do you believe it?"

Fang Bai said to the slightly conscious Ye Renjie who was struggling hard.

Ye Renjie turned his face to the ground, breathing heavily, angrily saying: "Fang Bai, if you have the guts, kill me now, or someday I’ll certainly kill you!"

These words were extremely severe, but Fang Bai remained unfazed, though Huang Zhong was scared pale.

"Kill me? Ha..."

To Ye Renjie’s threat, Fang Bai let out a disdainful laugh.

Fang Bai’s temperament is "show respect, and you’ll get respect in return," but should someone annoy him, he would repay them ten or a hundred times worse.

Ye Renjie said he would definitely kill Fang Bai someday, with venom evident in his tone. Fang Bai had no doubt, that given the chance, he would do so.

Though Ye Renjie’s cultivation level was not a threat in Fang Bai’s eyes, he wouldn’t leave trouble-makers like him around to cause future issues.

So in the next moment, a fierce light flashed in Fang Bai’s eyes, pinpointing Ye Renjie’s right calf, he stomped hard.

"Crack..."

"Ah..."

A slight cracking sound accompanied by a piercing scream, Ye Renjie’s right calf bone shattered to fragments under Fang Bai’s stomp.

"My leg... Ah... Fang Bai, you... you crippled my right leg... you despicable person, if you have the guts, kill me... Ah... I will never stand with you again..."

Amidst intense pain, Ye Renjie realized Fang Bai’s stomp not only crushed his right calf bone but also destroyed the meridians and blood vessels there.

For a Martial Artist, breaking a leg bone was a minor issue, healing soon with some Spirit Pill or Spiritual Liquid.

However, with meridians and veins destroyed, recovery wouldn’t be easy, only a middle-grade Holy Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill offers hope.

But, looking at Sun Lin’s case before, acquiring a middle-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn’t easy; without Fang Bai crafting one for her, she might never resume the path of the Martial Dao.

"Pack up your wooden box, and bring me and Shi Ming a new one next time!"

Without caring for Ye Renjie wailing on the ground, Fang Bai said this to the bewildered Huang Zhong before turning away, heading back to his dwelling.

"Alright, Senior Brother Fang, I’ll deliver the meals soon!"

Watching Fang Bai’s departing figure, Huang Zhong fiercely clenched his fist, revitalized, feeling reborn.

No wonder Huang Zhong felt so exhilarated.

After this battle, Fang Bai was bound to make his name known and snatch the title of the "External Courtyard Department’s top fighter" from Ye Renjie.

And as Fang Bai stood up for Huang Zhong in this battle, to the other disciples of Lingxu Palace’s External Courtyard, Huang Zhong was like Fang Bai’s "little brother."

With Fang Bai as his backing, no one in the External Courtyard Department would dare to belittle the menial servant disciple Huang Zhong again, nor dare to beat and humiliate him.

Huang Zhong knew that from today onward, his chance for a "comeback" had arrived.
