"Very well! Today I will beat you so badly even your mother wouldn't recognize you!"
Ye Cangtian was furious, truly angered by the opponent.
With that said, his figure flashed, as if in welcome, trailing two afterimages as he darted towards Sikong Longyin.
"This..."
Witnessing everything before him, Sikong Longyin was instantly stunned. He hadn't expected that even with his current cultivation, he couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed.
More importantly, he couldn't discern which was the afterimage and which was the true body.
Now, in his eyes, Ye Cangtian was three figures, and no matter what moves he made, they were all the same.
Helpless, Sikong Longyin could only draw his dagger and wave it wildly in front of him.
His idea was simple: since he couldn't distinguish the true body, he would treat all three figures as the true body.
*Poof! Poof!*
Indeed, under Sikong Longyin's frenzied attacks, two afterimages quickly dissipated.
However, just as Sikong Longyin was feeling fortunate and preparing to pierce Ye Cangtian's true body, a drastic change occurred!
The dagger in his hand suddenly became immobile. At a glance, the dagger was firmly gripped by Ye Cangtian's large hand.
And at that very moment, a hand, like a fly swatter, swung fiercely.
"..."
Sikong Longyin was instantly alarmed. Almost reflexively, he dodged, but this time he failed.
With a *slap*, the hand landed squarely on his face, sending his body flying.
As a splash of blood scattered through the air, Sikong Longyin's body crashed heavily onto the ground.
After a while, Sikong Longyin, dizzy and disoriented, stood up. He glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, his rage having completely consumed his reason.
"Ye Cangtian, how dare you slap my face! I'll fight you to the death!"
In full view of everyone, being slapped by Ye Cangtian was an absolute disgrace to Sikong Longyin!
After all, although he had been expelled from the Imperial Dragon Villa by Lei Ming, he always believed that he should have been the master of the Imperial Dragon Villa.
And now, being publicly humiliated by the opponent, wasn't that equivalent to the Imperial Dragon Villa also being humiliated?
The next moment, with a roar, Sikong Longyin charged forward again.
*Slap!*
In an instant, the crisp sound echoed again, and Sikong Longyin's body was sent flying once more.
Ye Cangtian looked at his opponent staggering to his feet and walked forward dismissively, saying calmly, "Sikong Longyin, let me ask you, do you admit your guilt?"
"Admit guilt? My ass, I..."
Sikong Longyin glared at Ye Cangtian fiercely and began to curse, but before he could finish, Ye Cangtian unhesitatingly delivered another slap.
"Sikong Longyin, I ask you again, do you admit your guilt?"
The voice echoed again. Sikong Longyin's eyes were bloodshot, but it was impossible for him to bow his head to Ye Cangtian.
The next moment, he roared again and lunged at Ye Cangtian...
"Hiss..."
"Too tragic, truly too tragic!"
Everyone in the hall gasped in unison. Sikong Longyin was simply too pathetic, truly beaten by Ye Cangtian to the point of not being recognized by his own mother.
For over an hour of discipline, Ye Cangtian simply delivered slap after slap, only asking one question: Do you admit your guilt?
What they admired was that Sikong Longyin, who had started by cursing, later could only shake his head while enduring the blows, his gaze filled with resentment.
As for the subordinates Sikong Longyin had brought, they were all stunned by the scene.
If even Sikong Longyin was beaten like this, what would happen to them if they stepped forward? Wouldn't it be a path to certain death?
*Bang!*
After an unknown duration, Sikong Longyin collapsed heavily. This time, he did not get up again and finally succumbed, fainting.
"Hmph! He's still a man; he didn't shame the Imperial Dragon Villa."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the fallen Sikong Longyin and muttered to himself.
In fact, he could have killed the opponent, but he chose not to.
The reason was simple: Sikong Longyin had already one foot into the Heaven rank.
If he were to work hard, he could become a true Heaven rank expert in no time.
This was considered rare talent. To kill him directly would be too regrettable.
If he could make the opponent turn back and serve the Huaxia strength again, it would be a blessing for Huaxia.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian chose this method.
On one hand, he wanted to teach the opponent a thorough lesson and also vent his anger and that of Dongfang Mingyue.
On the other hand, he also wanted to test the opponent's mental fortitude.
And seeing how the opponent fell repeatedly, then got up, until he fainted.
Ye Cangtian was quite satisfied that the opponent had not begged for mercy during this process.
"Feifei, imprison all of Sikong Longyin's men!"
"Also, send Sikong Longyin to Qingfeng Hall!"
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at Feifei, who was beside Dongfang Mingyue, and gave simple instructions.
At this moment, Feifei's eyes were full of admiration. In her eyes, this was simply violent aesthetics. Hearing the voice suddenly, she was stunned for a moment.
However, her reaction was quick enough. She nodded directly and hurried to arrange the guards.
On the other side, Long Yi and the others watched the guards approach, their expressions shifting.
They were not injured, so dealing with these guards in front of them was not a problem.
But was it that simple? After all, behind these guards was the Heaven rank expert Ye Cangtian!
Even Sikong Longyin had been beaten unconscious. If they resisted, wouldn't they be seeking death?
With this thought, Long Yi took the lead and chose to surrender.
Seeing Long Yi do so, the others could only cooperate obediently.
After a minor interlude, the hall gradually returned to normal.
Ye Cangtian followed Dongfang Mingyue to the office.
Dongfang Mingyue's face remained stern until she sat in her chair, then she coldly snorted and said, "You brat, I've been so good to you, and you dare to disrespect me in public? Do you want to overturn the heavens!"
"Hehe, Sister Mingyue, you're still holding a grudge!"
"I was just anxious just now, don't take it to heart..."
Ye Cangtian chuckled, quickly stepped forward, and took out several bottles of high-grade medicinal pills, saying, "Sister Mingyue, please accept these..."
Dongfang Mingyue picked up the small medicine bottles suspiciously. Upon opening them, the corners of her mouth twitched. "You brat, does Sister lack this kind of Grand Vitality Pill?"
"Of course not, it's just that it would be a waste to use other medicinal pills for Sister Mingyue's injuries. I'm just prescribing the right medicine."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian saw that Dongfang Mingyue's expression was still displeased and continued, "How about this, after this matter is over, I'll manage the Hidden Group for you for a while and give you a long vacation, what do you say?"
A long vacation?
Upon hearing such a word, Dongfang Mingyue's eyes instantly lit up.
Since she took charge of the Hidden Group, let alone a long vacation, she hadn't even had time to rest.
Now, hearing that Ye Cangtian was willing to manage the Hidden Group for her, and Ye Cangtian's capabilities were well-known, she immediately became excited.
Thinking this, she quickly said, "You brat, Sister is serious. If you dare go back on your word, Sister will never forgive you!"
"Hehe, don't worry, a gentleman's word is his bond!"
"But let's get the ugly words out first. If you leave Dragon City, I get to dictate your destination!"
Huh?
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Dongfang Mingyue immediately became suspicious.
The opponent saying this must have a purpose! Perhaps he had set some trap for her!
Thinking this, Dongfang Mingyue became wary and said, "Where do you want to lure me, you brat? Spit it out!"
"I haven't decided yet!"
"If I'm in a good mood, I'll lead you to a paradise; if I'm in a bad mood, I'll let you experience barren mountains and treacherous waters. In short, we'll talk about it then!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled playfully upon hearing this.
"You..."
Dongfang Mingyue's expression immediately turned a little ugly. This brat saying it depends on his mood, isn't that asking for favors?
"Hmph! You brat, if you take me to a place of barren mountains and treacherous waters, I promise I'll make you know the power of this old lady!"
Dongfang Mingyue glared fiercely, and after issuing a threat, she changed the subject and said, "By the way, how do you plan to deal with Sikong Longyin?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's face immediately showed a mischievous smile and said, "Sister Mingyue, I think he can stay and be your sparring partner. What do you say?"
"You brat, you want to take my old life!"
Dongfang Mingyue immediately bristled, becoming quite agitated.
After all, in her recent battle with Sikong Longyin, she had basically fought with all her might, but she had still lost.
If she kept Sikong Longyin as her sparring partner, wouldn't she be subjected to abuse every day?
If this continued, even if she didn't die from abuse, she would die of shame in endless humiliation.
"Haha, just kidding. I haven't decided yet. We'll talk about it after he wakes up!"
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue's agitated state, Ye Cangtian burst into laughter.
Dongfang Mingyue then realized she had been tricked.
Her face immediately flushed red and she said, "You brat, don't run! If I don't make you understand today, you won't know why flowers are so red..."
"Dodging, dodging..."
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue pounce like a hungry tiger, Ye Cangtian didn't hesitate. He flashed to the door and then made his escape.
Watching Ye Cangtian's receding figure, Dongfang Mingyue stomped her feet fiercely and huffed, "You brat, just you wait! I'll make you have nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, sooner or later..."
