Chapter 322: Chapter 321: Launch an Attack
When Zhang Yunlong said this, it meant that he had already compromised and bowed his head today.
For the Zhang Family, who had been haughty and domineering for over a decade, this was an unprecedented event.
Yet today, he had no choice but to lower his head.
A radiant smile appeared on Qin Yanyang’s face, but she did not answer Zhang Yunlong directly. Instead, she turned to Yang Fei beside her.
Yang Fei smiled slightly and said to Zhang Yunlong, "If you want to stop here, then hand him over to me."
He pointed at Zhang Yunqing.
Zhang Yunqing’s expression changed drastically, and he pleaded in panic, "Brother, you... you must save me."
He was now thoroughly powerless.
He had thought that after stepping into the Peak of the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade, he could burst forth with combat strength comparable to a Unique Tier by relying on the Zhang Family’s martial arts secret manuals, dominate Yang Fei today, make a name for himself, and awe the Divine Continent Martial World. However, he never expected to not withstand a single move under Yang Fei’s hands.
Now, with Yang Fei determined to kill him, he was frightened.
Some martial artists who had been in the Imperial City for a long time and were somewhat familiar with Zhang Yunqing shook their heads in the shadows, some snickered, some mocked, but most of them were disdainful.
This Second Young Master Zhang, who was always arrogant and overbearing, was too lacking in spirit.
With such temperament, he was now completely useless.
Zhang Yunlong looked at Yang Fei with a gloomy expression and said sternly, "Boy, are you really going to take this to the extreme?"
Yang Fei shook his head and said, "It’s not that I want to take this to the extreme, but your Zhang Family has gone too far. Zhang Yunqing attacked me unprovoked, and he was the first to challenge me to a duel on the Life and Death Platform. Therefore, there must be a resolution between him and me today."
"He has already admitted defeat, and from now on, he has become a useless person who can no longer threaten you," Zhang Yunlong said gravely.
"Hahaha, is this what the Buddhist say about laying down the butcher knife instantly makes one a Buddha? Do so many bad deeds, and admitting defeat wipes everything clean?" Yang Fei laughed heartily and shook his head, "Your Zhang Family thinks too simply of the consequences of doing wrong."
A glint flashed in Zhang Yunlong’s eyes, and he exclaimed angrily, "Fine, since you’re not giving face, then let me make it clear. As long as I’m here today, nobody can hurt my brother. Qin Yanyang, dare to start the war early and see."
Yang Fei’s figure flashed, charging directly towards Zhang Yunlong.
A cold light flickered in Zhang Yunlong’s eyes as he gathered his strongest force and slapped a palm towards Yang Fei.
He knew Yang Fei was formidable but was confident he could severely injure him with one move.
He even wanted to look for an opportunity to kill Yang Fei to reclaim some honor for the Zhang Family.
"Bang!"
The two robust palm forces collided, and Zhang Yunlong’s expression changed, not expecting Yang Fei’s strength to be so formidable. However, the next instant, his expression drastically changed.
It was because behind that palm force, another terrifying force surged like a tidal wave, piling up and sweeping in, making it impossible to defend against.
Yang Fei intended to establish his power in public, even contemplating killing Zhang Yunlong, thus he used Tide, a killing move from the Sky Splitting Divine Fist, the moment he made his move.
Force like the tide, two successive waves sweeping in, left one no room to cope.
The first wave of force was wholly received by Zhang Yunlong, and he suffered no damage or impact. However, the second wave’s momentum was overwhelming and too fast, completely beyond his expectations. He quickly tried to gather his Qi to counter it, but it was still too late.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood spat out from Zhang Yunlong’s mouth as he reacted swiftly, quickly retreating to unload the opponent’s second wave of force.
Yang Fei himself was also pushed back several steps, but after stabilizing himself, he dashed out again like an arrow, lunging at Zhang Yunqing.
Zhang Yunlong, still in mid-air, saw Yang Fei’s actions and knew his intentions, couldn’t help but urgently shout, "Dodge!"
But that was a futile remark.
Zhang Yunqing, already severely injured and effectively a cripple, how could he dodge Yang Fei’s pursuit?
Yang Fei, like an eagle catching a chick, grabbed Zhang Yunqing’s shoulder in one swoop, somersaulted backward, and flew back to the Life and Death Platform.
Martial artists around the platform observed as Yang Fei lifted Zhang Yunqing high into the air and declared loudly, "This person, harboring malicious intent because he fancies my wife, has repeatedly directed others to attempt my life. This time, he took the initiative to challenge me to a duel of life and death. Today, I, Yang Fei, kill him. Who has objections?"
There was silence all around.
Deciding life and death on the Life and Death Platform has been a rule set in the Martial World since ancient times, never broken by anyone.
Now that Zhang Yunlong was attempting to breach these millennium-old rules, he had lost the people’s hearts, and no one would speak for the Zhang Family.
Zhang Yunlong truly cared for his brother, and despite being injured, he was the first to rush out towards the Life and Death Platform, attempting to save Zhang Yunqing.
Qin Yanyang snorted coldly, her graceful figure soared, and she struck towards Zhang Yunlong with a palm. When their palms met, violent power surged around them and qi ravaged the air.
The moment they touched, they separated, and Zhang Yunlong was sent flying out again.
Qin Yanyang’s face flushed slightly as she landed next to Yang Fei.
If Qin Yanyang’s earlier display of imposing aura had shocked the entire venue, then her forcing Zhang Yunlong back with a single palm now truly demonstrated her strength in the Innate Realm.
Moreover, her interception of Zhang Yunlong also signified her absolute support for Yang Fei.
Indeed, it was a case of husband and wife acting in concert.
Zhang Yunlong, continuously forced back by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, couldn’t help but become extremely agitated and angrily said, "Luo Yong, Wang Chengcuo, do you still plan to stand by and watch?"
Luo Yong and Wang Chengcuo exchanged glances, a flash of anger apparent in their eyes.
This was certainly putting them in a tough position.
But damn, could you first grasp the current situation?
This couple were both at the Innate Realm, and with Zhu Tianshou involved too, the strength on both sides in the Innate Realm was equal.
Moreover, Zhang Yunqing was already in Yang Fei’s hands, so even if they acted, it wouldn’t change the situation.
However, both had already made their stance clear and, having offended Yang Fei and his wife Qin Yanyang, they were furious inside, yet dissatisfied with Zhang Yunlong, they still stepped forward, their auras fierce as they stared at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang on the platform.
Wang Chengcuo said, "Kid, I advise you to release Zhang Yunqing, otherwise, across the vast lands of Divine Continent, there will be no place for you to hide."
"Release him, huh? Alright then."
Yang Fei smirked lightly, and with a casual yank downwards, he harshly slammed the already severely injured Zhang Yunqing onto the platform. The force was tyrannical, and with a thud, the ground trembled and Zhang Yunqing’s body instantly turned into a bloody, mangled mess.
"Here you go," Yang Fei laughed loudly, tossing Zhang Yunqing’s body towards Wang Chengcuo.
Wang Chengcuo’s pupils shrank; he had no choice but to catch the bloody, mangled body.
However, Yang Fei was like his shadow, swiftly following up.
Wang Chengcuo, enraged, swung out a palm and shouted, "Get back!"
Being a renowned old veteran of the Innate Realm in the Divine Continent’s Martial World, he was respected in the past and almost no one dared to provoke him.
Yang Fei had first attacked Zhang Yunlong, and now he was openly challenging him; how could he not be furious?
Unlike the previous exchange between Zhang Yunlong and Yang Fei, this time Wang Chengcuo swung out with one hand and a fierce wind arose in the venue. An invisible power materialized across the space, transforming into a thick Palm Force, shooting directly at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei snorted coldly and with a casual palm strike, he shattered that materialized power into pieces.
The next instant, he was in front of Wang Chengcuo, punching fiercely.
For the mastermind behind the murder of Tong Yan, Yang Fei hated him to the core.
Moreover, last time he had even accompanied his disciple in an attempt against him. If he hadn’t been on guard and went along with Zhu Tianshou, he might have suffered.
Now that Yang Fei’s strength had recovered to over eighty percent, he no longer feared ordinary Innate Realm martial artists and intended to give Wang Chengcuo a severe lesson.
As Yang Fei lunged at Wang Chengcuo, Qin Yanyang also charged at Luo Yong.
Since her husband was taking action, she, too, needed to make a statement.
Last time, while Luo Yong took advantage of her being away on a mission to assassinate her. She had kept silent before for the sake of the bigger picture, not pursuing the matter, but she remembered it well.
Zhang Yunlong, seeing Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang take the initiative to strike at Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong, was shocked.
Had they gone mad to provoke such a battle with these powerful beings?
However, he was not given much time to think, as a strong sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him.
He whirled around, only to see Zhu Tianshou had at some point approached closely behind him, charging at him with a momentum fierce as a torrent.
"Action!"
At the same time, inside the venue, a woman in a duckbill hat issued the command through an internal communication device.
