963: Chapter 956: Rather Die Standing Than Live Kneeling!
The Ancient Martial Punisher Ouyang Bai held Li Dongtian in his left hand and Mo Wusha in his right.
Upon arriving outside of Tianxing City, he casually threw the two men on the ground.
Sect Leader Li Dongtian of Cloud Soaring Palace and Sect Leader Mo Wusha of Earth Demon Hall had fresh blood still staining their chests.
They did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces and quickly got up from the ground, standing respectfully like two grovelling dogs behind Ouyang Bai.
On their way here, Li Dongtian and Mo Wusha had given Ouyang Bai a detailed account of everything related to Ye Chenfeng, so after scanning the people before him, Ouyang Bai’s gaze finally rested on Ye Chenfeng, a playful smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth as he asked, “Are you Ye Chenfeng?”
As Ouyang Bai spoke, the formidable aura of his Middle Stage extraordinary power surged forth like a torrential tide assaulting Ye Chenfeng, the playful smile on his lips growing even more pronounced.
When Ouyang Bai’s aura burst outward, Ye Chenfeng’s keen intuition immediately sensed it.
He operated his Sect Level Initial Stage Soul Force to the limit within his body, but even so, when Ouyang Bai’s aura struck him, he felt as though his entire body had been hit by a speeding train.
“Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!”
Ye Chenfeng took five steps back, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground.
Although he had operated his Sect Level Initial Stage Soul Force to the extreme, he felt as if all the bones in his chest had shattered, and a mouthful of fresh blood slowly surged up from his stomach to his throat, only to be forcefully swallowed back down.
Those standing around Ye Chenfeng, such as Sun Boyi and Lie Yan, had just experienced Ouyang Bai’s Middle Stage extraordinary aura, which wasn’t directed at them, yet they felt as if they were in the presence of the Grim Reaper.
They had no courage to retaliate—such was the power of the Middle Stage extraordinaries!
Li Dongtian and Mo Wusha, who stood behind Ouyang Bai, displayed gloating smiles upon their faces as they watched Ye Chenfeng being forced back.
Ye Chenfeng’s hand, hidden within his sleeve, was clenched tightly into a fist, thick veins bulging on the back of his hand, and his arms trembled slightly.
His teeth were gritted tight.
This Ouyang Bai was the most powerful enemy Ye Chenfeng had encountered since his soul had crossed into this era.
At this moment, Ye Chenfeng’s longing for power climbed to its peak.
How he wished he could unleash his power and fight Ouyang Bai with all his might, but sadly, he knew he was no match for him.
After calming down the turbulent emotions raging within him, Ye Chenfeng carefully concealed his killing intent.
Enduring the surge of blood within, he spoke to Ouyang Bai, neither humbly nor arrogantly, “You’re the Ancient Martial Punisher?
What right do you have to attack me?
The Ancient Martial Punishers are meant to uphold the order of the Ancient Martial World.
How is what you’re doing any different from that of a tyrant?
Do you own the entire Ancient Martial World?”
Ye Chenfeng intentionally raised his voice so that it carried clearly to the members of other sects around Tianxing City.
Ouyang Bai looked at Ye Chenfeng with interest and said, “Not bad, not bad.
I only used two-tenths of my strength in that display of power just now.
The fact that you can still stand makes you something of a talent.
You killed my heir, Li Zihao, and annihilated Yun Tian Sect, completely disrupting the order of the Ancient Martial World.
Are you saying I shouldn’t take action against you?”
“However, every predecessor as an Ancient Martial Punisher used to let the criminal voluntarily go to the Land of Trial for punishment, and of course, I, Ouyang Bai, am no exception.” Saying this, Ouyang Bai lifted his hand in the direction of Sun Boyi and Sun Yang’an, and immediately, a suction force generated from his palm easily drew Sun Boyi and Sun Yang’an towards it.
The two elders’ complexions turned deathly pale in an instant.
Having captured Sun Boyi and Sun Yang’an, Ouyang Bai then said to Ye Chenfeng, “These two must be your elders, right?
Let’s have them accompany me to the Land of Trial as guests for a few days.
Five days from now, I will be waiting for you there.
I believe you’ll come.
Of course, this trial will be completely public, and all sects are welcome to attend.”
After he finished speaking, Ouyang Bai, holding Sun Boyi in one hand and Sun Yang’an in the other, disappeared from everyone’s sight as swiftly as he had come.
After all, as the Ancient Martial Punisher appearing in public, it was important for him to maintain his dignity.
He could see that Sun Boyi and Sun Yang’an were probably Ye Chenfeng’s elders.
By taking them, Ye Chenfeng would surely go obediently to the Land of Trial, which also reflected the tolerance and dignity of an Ancient Martial Punisher.
After Ouyang Bai left in haste, Li Dongtian and Mo Wusha also quickly departed.
However, before Li Dongtian left, he dropped a harsh parting shot, “Ye Chenfeng, just wait for your death!”
“Spit!
Spit!
Spit!”
After Ouyang Bai, Li Dongtian, and Mo Wusha departed, Ye Chenfeng violently spat out three mouthfuls of fresh blood, and his body started to sway unsteadily.
Xia Zining, who was beside him, hurriedly steadied Ye Chenfeng and assisted him towards the City Lord’s Mansion inside Tianxing City.
After Ye Chenfeng and the others returned to Tianxing City, disciples and Sect Leaders from the other sects outside the city once again began to engage in heated discussions.
“The Ancient Martial Punisher truly is deserving of his name!
If it were me, I would’ve simply captured Ye Chenfeng right then and there, but the Ancient Martial Punisher let him go to the Land of Trial by himself, that’s the kind of domineering confidence a real powerhouse should possess.”
“Just now, the Ancient Martial Punisher said that this trial is open to the public.
I’ll actually go and observe it in five days.
I’ve never seen what an Ancient Martial Punisher’s trial is like.”
…
While the Sect Leaders and disciples of various sects outside Tianxing City were abuzz with conversation, in Ye Chenfeng’s room at the City Lord’s Mansion of Tianxing City.
Lie Yan and Xia Zining looked gravely concerned, whereas Ye Chenfeng lay pale on the bed, his teeth biting down hard on his lips, from which trickles of fresh blood seeped out; yet he seemed to feel nothing at all.
Valley Master Lie Yan broke the silence in the room and said, “Young Brother Ye, it seems we truly cannot escape our doom this time.
Alas, I never imagined that Red Flame Valley would be ruined in my hands, I have failed the ancestors of Red Flame Valley!”
Xia Zining approached the bedside of Ye Chenfeng, hesitated, and then said, “Chenfeng, why not, why not go back to the Secular World?
That way, you might temporarily avoid disaster.”
Ye Chenfeng propped himself up with his palms on the edge of the bed and sat up, determinedly saying, “I will be at the Land of Trial on time.
My great-grandfather and grandfather were captured by Ouyang Bai; how could I possibly ignore their lives?
What’s the difference between living like that and living a coward’s life?
I, Ye Chenfeng, would rather die standing than live on my knees.
Besides, I might not necessarily die.
I believe Ouyang Bai is interested in the Ghost King Sect’s inheritance that I possess.
So, in five days, I will arrive at the Land of Trial without fail.”
“Ah…” Xia Zining sighed, knowing that Ye Chenfeng would never choose to live in disgrace because that was the Ye Chenfeng she knew.
Ye Chenfeng then asked, “Valley Master Lie, how long does it take to reach the Land of Trial from Tianxing City?”
Lie Yan replied, “Young Brother Ye, it takes about three days.”
Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, “Good, I will focus on recuperating from my injuries over the next two days and will leave on schedule the day after.”
“So be it!
So be it!” Lie Yan shook his head and said, “Although Ouyang Bai did not mention our Red Flame Valley this time, he will surely not let us off afterwards.
I and the Great Elder will accompany you on this journey.
Let’s hope there’s still a chance for things to turn around.”
“Chenfeng, I’ll go with you too,” Xia Zining quickly said.
Ye Chenfeng flatly refused, “No, Zining, you stay in Tianxing City.
I will set up the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation in these two days, and I will tell you the key to activating the Formation.
If anything unexpected happens, you all must immediately activate the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation.”
Ye Chenfeng then turned to City Lord Zhao Wukong, who stood aside, and said, “City Lord Zhao, please prepare these medicinal ingredients for me…”
Ye Chenfeng listed a series of medicinal ingredients.
He only had two days to recover from his injuries, so he had to use various medicinal aids for his recuperation.
