LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 204: The Bizarre Recovery Ability
A stalemate in one sentence.
For the Ronin of the Fusang Island Nation, regardless of whether Ye Feng was the Northern Border King or not, there was only one principle: kill without mercy.
However, this statement elicited a loud laugh from Lv Xiangyang, who, swinging his broadsword, disdainfully asked,
"Just by yourself?"
Since he had witnessed this scene and had no intention of joining them, and coincidentally, they were in need of someone to make an example of, Lv Xiangyang and the two Ronin looked at each other and made up their minds.
"Haha! Not to hide from you two, I know this kid's identity. He is the Northern Border King of the Xuanyuan Nation, and it is impossible to recruit him."
Seeing that the three men had formed an encirclement, Lie Tianying's party was overjoyed and did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
The Northern Border King?
Unexpectedly, Lie Tianying's purposeful words instead caused the two Ronin to pause their movements, with Yamano Okamura meaningfully asking,
"Are you Ye Feng or Zhu Guangbo?"
Clearly, the vice-chairman of the Ronin Guild was not unfamiliar with the major events occurring within the Xuanyuan Nation, and his intention was punishable.
"Ye Feng!"
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. The world's powerful nations had always coveted the Xuanyuan Nation's land, but he wondered how many inside the nation had become traitors.
"So, it is Mr. Ye Feng."
"Heroes emerge from youth throughout history; Mr. Feng is truly an extraordinary talent. It's my pleasure to meet you. May I be so bold as to ask if we could become friends?"
The moment these words were spoken, Lv Xiangyang's face sank instantly, but he held back due to the overwhelming strength of the two Ronin.
"What kind of friends?"
Ye Feng smiled with interest. He wanted to see what tricks these two Ronin could come up with.
"Of course, the kind that can help each other out as good friends."
"Without concealing it from you, our Ronin Guild has long admired your great name. As long as you're willing, the Ronin Guild will certainly lend you a helping hand to reclaim the throne of the Northern Border King."
Yamano Okamura's posture was low, but not in the least servile, his left hand always close to the katana tied to his waist.
"Ridiculous!"
"I think you have yet to understand one thing—I am the Northern Border King, and from the beginning to the end, there has only been me, Ye Feng. Since you have come here, then don't bother returning."
Ye Feng's figure lunged violently forward, bearing down on Yamano Okamura.
"Kill!"
The flash of a blade unsheathed—a silver arc swept by Yamano Okamura's katana in an instant, slashing down diagonally towards Ye Feng.
The Blade Draw Technique!
In the Fusang Island Nation, it is also known as the Iai Slash, famous for its speed and demands a severe understanding of the blade, which even a Martial King might not be able to comprehend.
The figure merged into one, slashing through the air.
However, as if forewarned, Ye Feng's body skimmed past the swift blade, avoiding the heavy slash, and he aimed a palm strike at Yamano Okamura's abdomen.
Another swift blade swung towards Ye Feng's right palm. Yamano Okamura's mouth curled into a sinister smile as the blade he had swung out unexpectedly curved mid-flight.
The essence of the Blade Draw Technique lies in the action of the swing; wherever the Blade Warrior's heart desires to cut, the blade can reach there. Both drawing and sheathing the blade are killing moves.
A silver afterimage once again brushed past Ye Feng's abdomen, but fortunately, at the moment Shuiyuan Longzhi's attack came, he had already given up on attacking and slapped the ground in mid-air, employing "Dragonfly Touching Water and Soaring."
Now, this is interesting!
After landing, far from being intimidated, Ye Feng's fighting spirit surged even higher. The two Fusang Ronin were indeed strong. In that split second a moment ago, any hesitation could have meant he would be soaked in his own blood—a feeling of danger he had not felt for a long time.
A perfect opportunity for a battle!
"Kill!"
Ye Feng unleashed eighteen palm strikes in succession; his robust Qi Force made even the void tremble, kicking up sand and rocks on the beach, and his figure also dashed around in an instant.
The two Ronin had mastered the "One Flash" realm of the Blade Draw Technique to a profound level, and the seamless cooperation between their attacks and defense left no room for Ye Feng to be anything but extremely cautious.
"Chaotic Blade Dance!"
As one blade was drawn, it seemed as if a thousand appeared. Shuiyuan Longzhi sent forth a myriad of blade lights, aiming at the afterimages around him, while Yamano Okamura followed closely, looking for an opportunity to strike.
"Take my palm."
Ye Feng naturally wouldn't foolishly clash directly with the two, but what he waited for was the moment when the Ronin let their guard down.
In truth, the blade lights that Shuiyuan Longzhi brandished were disorderly and unfocused, and with his Qi Force far weaker than Ye Feng's, his blade lacked weight and was far less threatening, allowing Ye Feng to still manage to run around and disrupt their formation.
Two against one!
Yet they hadn't been able to gain the upper hand, and Lv Xiangyang looked displeased. He was someone on the brink of becoming a High-Level Martial King, but at this moment, he found no opportunity to intervene.
Rushing in now would only disrupt the rhythm of the two Ronin.
"Big brother, should we finish them off?"
The man in a suit, Han Feng, came to Lv Xiangyang's side, eyeing the Lie brothers with a cold gaze. From the expressions these brothers revealed, they clearly had not abandoned their treacherous hearts.
"No!"
After a moment of silence, Lv Xiangyang added,
"You two, come over."
"Lie Tianying, I know you're not willing to submit to East Pole Island deep down. We are all people of the world; I can give you an opportunity. After this affair is settled, we shall have a fair fight. Whoever wins will be the boss. But before that..."
"Ye Feng must die, and I believe you understand that this matter absolutely cannot be leaked."
The meaning was to form an offensive and defensive alliance.
The two Ronin had been attacking for a long time without success, and if the Lie brothers suddenly turned against them on the spur of the moment, it would be difficult to say whose deer it would be, let alone capture one of them alive.
Sword in hand, Lv Xiangyang's gaze was icy cold.
If they disagreed, it would mean war.
"No problem, let's kill Ye Feng first."
Lie Tianying gave a sly smile.
It's not that he was deterred by Lv Xiangyang's intimidation, but in Lie Tianying's heart, East Pole Island was destined to be his sooner or later.
Shua shua! One by one,
The Four Great Martial Kings once again formed an encirclement to prevent Ye Feng from escaping.
"Mountain Wilderness Lord, we can't keep this up."
Seeing that they could not flush out Ye Feng's figure, Shuiyuan Longzhi obviously became anxious. The Qi Force of a Martial King was not endless; continuously hacking without stopping would wear out anyone.
"Hmm, you support, I'll attack."
"Three Thousand Blade Sea, Lan Tiangang!"
In Yamano Okamura's right hand, there was a katana, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. With both katanas in hand, he swung them to the extreme, creating a whirlwind of blades centered around himself and Shuiyuan Longzhi, spinning outward.
As the wind turned, the sand fell.
However, on the silvery beach at this moment, Ye Feng's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Be careful!"
Yamano Okamura's face turned pale as he had already sensed where Ye Feng's presence was, but, having just unleashed a powerful move, he found it somewhat beyond his strength to wield the sword to offer help.
"Shatter."
A pair of Great Hands emerged from beneath the ground, seizing Shuiyuan Longzhi's feet in an instant. Without his katana, he instinctively swung down with his palm.
Bang! One by one,
First there was a loud boom, then came a nearly inaudible cracking sound. Ye Feng's figure shot into the sky, taking Shuiyuan Longzhi's blow head-on. The price for this exchange was that he had disabled the legs of this ronin.
With both ankle bones completely broken, Shuiyuan Longzhi fell to the ground pallid-faced; however, as a Martial King, he was strong-willed. Enduring the agonizing pain, he said:
"Mountain Wilderness Lord, please."
With only that plea, Shuiyuan Longzhi had already lost the ability to fight.
"When there were two of you, you failed to kill me, now…"
"You think you can do it alone?"
Ye Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, laughing wildly.
"You will see how you die."
Yamano Okamura remained still, not agitated by Shuiyuan Longzhi's loss of combat ability, but instead unusually calm.
Both hands held swords, Twin Blade Technique!
The peak of extravagance and radiance, another Blade Draw Technique. Two silvery flashes moved with Yamano Okamura's figure intertwining towards him.
"Heh! Unmoving as a mountain."
The so-called 'Unmoving as a mountain' amounted to the Martial King gathering Qi Force around the Protective Qi Shield, forming layers upon layers of protection. Ye Feng had not learned the Mahayana martial skills, but that didn't stop him from copying the technique.
The true strength of a Martial King lay in their Qi Force—as long as their Qi Force was powerful, it was impervious to the Ten Thousand Laws.
The blade light cut against Ye Feng's Protective Qi Shield, piercing through to the inner layer in just a moment. Instead of retreating, Ye Feng met the attack head-on.
Ugh! One by one,
That was the sound of the blade penetrating flesh. In that moment, Ye Feng's right hand, which had been gathering power, lashed out, carrying with it his substantial Qi Force, aimed at a punch to Yamano Okamura's abdomen.
Bang! Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire
Without any 'ifs,' Yamano Okamura's figure flew back like a kite with its string cut, landing motionless on the sand.
"Kill him, he's already seriously injured."
Watching Ye Feng pull out the katana embedded in his own flesh, the four didn't give him a chance to catch his breath; they came at him in a group to pummel him.
"Blade Draw Technique, let me give it a try."
Ye Feng held the hilt of the blade, the next second his figure disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of silvery light passed by, and Ye Feng's figure brushed past Lv Xiangyang's side.
The blade was the same, however, the blood was invisible.
"Blade Draw Technique!"
Shuiyuan Longzhi, watching from a distance, was aghast at the scene.
"You…"
Lv Xiangyang collapsed helplessly. Ye Feng's slash had severed his heart and lungs, and his gaze turned towards the oncoming Han Feng. There were a thousand things he wanted to say but never had the chance.
"I want you dead!"
Because his back was turned, Han Feng didn't see the triumphant smile on Ye Feng's face. As he launched a punch, it was as if nothing had happened to Ye Feng, who turned around and responded with a punch of his own.
Another figure was sent flying through the air.
"No way, you aren't injured?"
Slow to realize, even Lie Tianying, as foolish as he might be, noticed something was amiss. To kill two Martial Kings in quick succession, could this be the act of someone gravely wounded?
"If I weren't a little hurt, what if you all ran away?"
"Now that you think to run, it's too late."
It had to be admitted that the Blade Draw Technique was indeed an excellent skill for killing. In Ye Feng's hands, it was precise with every strike.
In just a brief moment, both Lie Tianying and Lie Tianba had become ghosts under the blade.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you?"
Ye Feng gently pressed at his wounds, his expression filled with an oddity.
Because during the fight just now, the two katana wounds on his body that hadn't been dealt with not only stopped bleeding, but the insides had also started to heal.
How strange!
Could it be that upon breaking through as a Martial King, his body had also started to change? But Ye Feng had never heard of any Martial King with regenerative abilities; moreover, at this rate, he'd probably scab over in less than half a day.
