"Old man, I saved your wretched life, spared you from resembling a dead dog. Is this how you repay ?"
"Grandfather, Young Master Feng, what’s happened?" Yu Ying, seeing the sudden turn of events and not knowing what had occurred, anxiously asked.
"Old Duke, what exactly is going on?" Although Long Chen had a good idea about the reason, he still feigned ignorance and questioned Yee Wuxie.
"Humph, old man, you have a grudge with Shi Jintian, this beast. Go seek your vengeance on your own. If you disrespect again, I will not be polite to you," Shi Feng once again warned coldly.
"Grandfather, what happened? Young Master Feng is a good person; he not only saved you but also saved your granddaughter yesterday. Without Young Master Feng, you probably wouldn’t have been able to see your granddaughter now," Yu Ying said with a distressed face, recalling the close call of falling into Zhao Zhixin’s clutches the day before.
"Do you recognize Shi Jintian?" Yee Wuxie asked in a deep voice.
"Whether I do or not is none of your concern," Shi Feng replied.
"Very well, you little brat, you’re quite arrogant in front of this old man!" Yee Wuxie sneered, then transford into a dark shimring light, charging straight at Shi Feng, quickly reaching him.
Shi Feng’s sword was already in hand, now wielding Lei Xiao’s Fifth Grade Mystical Weapon, the Thunderbolt Sword. Only when he saw this Thunderbolt Sword did Long Chen firmly realize that the heirs of the Three Major Sects, those genius disciples, were indeed slain by this Evil Demon.
Long Chen soon witnessed Shi Feng, holding the Thunderbolt Sword, collide with Yee Wuxie, who had beco a dark light.
"Young Master Feng!" Long Chen called out, full of worry, knowing that Yee Wuxie was a Martial King Powerhouse. Although the Evil Demon was powerful, how could he match a Martial King Realm Expert?
However, Long Chen’s eyes then widened in shock, his always dignified and graceful deanor now replaced by an "O" shaped mouth.
Yee Wuxie, after transforming into dark light and colliding with Shi Feng, left Long Chen unable to see what happened between them, or even to see them unleash any moves, before witnessing that dark light being repelled backwards.
And there stood Shi Feng, completely unhard, still holding the Thunderbolt Sword in his hand.
This Evil Demon, yet again, shattered Long Chen’s understanding of the normal; was this even possible? That was a Three-star Martial Monarch Realm Expert!
As the receding dark glow began to contract into its center, Yee Wuxie’s backward soaring shape was revealed, his face filled with shock. Halting his retreat, he exclaid in amazent, "The Power of Martial King, possessed by soone so young. Has it beco this easy to acquire the Power of Martial King during the years I was absent? Has the world really changed?"
"Old man, if you want a fight, then let’s have a straightforward battle. What’s the aning of using your Martial King Realm power against ?" Shi Feng, sword in hand, pointed the Thunderbolt Sword forward and called out coldly to Yee Wuxie.
"The Power of Martial King! He actually possesses the Power of Martial King!" Long Chen, not far from Yee Wuxie, overheard his muttered words and couldn’t believe that this Evil Demon had already beco so exceptionally monstrous.
"The Power of Martial King!" Long Chen suddenly realized: "If he has the Power of Martial King, then convincing Yueg Wuxie ans I’d have the support of two Martial King Realm Experts. This is wonderful!"
"Old Duke," Long Chen said to Yee Wuxie with a smile: "The world hasn’t really changed; it’s just that our Yunlai Empire has produced such an Evil Demon."
"All right, can everyone please sit down and talk this over, out of respect for ? In fact, Old Duke, the beast Shi Feng just ntioned, your enemy, is also our enemy."
Yee Wuxie burst into laughter upon hearing Long Chen’s words, "Enemy, heh heh, hahaha, indeed, indeed! Shi Jintian, the Ruthless Martial Way, the Body of Ruthlessness—if I’m not mistaken, that evil demon is the son of Shi Jintian, isn’t he?"
"I have nothing more to do with that beast!" Shi Feng exclaid. He had never felt any affection for Shi Jintian; all he had was the debt he owed to his mother to reclaim.
"Old Duke, it seems that the many sufferings you’ve endured are related to the current King of the South," Long Chen continued.
"King of the South? Hahaha." Yee Wuxie burst into laughter upon hearing Long Chen’s words. "That little beast has been ennobled as a king now, eh? He’s been given the very title I once held. Good, very good."
"Old Duke, could you tell us what’s going on here? After all, we’re currently facing a common enemy, and the King of the South, Shi Jintian, has recently disappeared. No one knows where he went, but when he returned to his fief, in just a few days, he had broken through from the Martial King Peak to the Five-star Martial Sovereign Realm.
Such a rapid rise in rank is unheard of in our Yunlai Empire. Perhaps, Old Duke, you know sothing about it?"
"The little beast’s Martial Arts were taught by , so naturally, I understand," Yee Wuxie said. "Young Prince, you must have heard that I was once called a heartless and ruthless man?"
"I have indeed heard about that," Long Chen nodded.
"Do you know why?" asked Yee Wuxie.
"I don’t," Long Chen shook his head. "By the ti I really ca to understand these things, Old Duke, you had already been missing for many years, and the rumors about you had slowly faded."
"Heartless and ruthless, I was indeed a heartless and ruthless man! Because I practiced the Ruthless Martial Way, in order to strike through to the Martial King Realm and sever all feelings of affection..." Yee Wuxie said, showing a pained expression, "I killed my wife with my own hands, the woman who loved more than anyone else in this world!"
"Ah!"
"Ah, grandfather you!"
Long Chen and Yu Ying were shocked upon hearing Yee Wuxie’s words.
Shi Feng glanced coldly at Yee Wuxie, uttering coldly, "Beast!"
"That’s right, you’re not wrong, I am a beast!" Yee Wuxie said with a face full of sorrow and regret. "The Ruthless Martial Way is a Martial Arts only a beast would practice. To be heartless and ruthless, one must beco a person without compassion or righteousness, cutting off all ties to affection. What kind of damned Martial Arts is this, when you’ve lost the most important, the closest people to you, what good is being invincible in this world?"
"So you’re saying that when you eradicated your inner feelings, you ascended directly from Martial King Peak to the Three-star Martial Monarch Realm?" Shi Feng said.
"That’s correct," Yee Wuxie nodded. "The Ruthless Martial Way favors those who are heartless and cold-blooded, allowing them to reach higher realms."
"In that case, Shi Jintian, that beast, is even worse than you, less than a beast?" Shi Feng said sharply. Shi Jintian had moved from Martial King Peak straight into the Five-star Martial Sovereign.
"Him? How could I compare to him; he was born heartless, born a beast! The Ruthless Martial Way seems tailor-made for him. He’s only just begun." Yee Wuxie said, "This little beast’s practice of the Ruthless Martial Way will grant him boundless potential."
