Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 1041 - 967: Zhong Ming Strikes First

"I advise you to hand it over quickly. Our Scarlet Void Valley will be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences!"

Xu Gou deliberately said this for the Martial Artists present to hear. Their Scarlet Void Valley wanted Ye Qingfeng’s elixir recipe, but they needed a valid excuse.

Those present immediately understood. They knew this was just an excuse by Scarlet Void Valley, but no one was foolish enough to expose Xu Gou.

This Master Ye doesn’t know when to advance or retreat. Given a way out, he does not take it, thoroughly angering Scarlet Void Valley. He’s likely to lose everything.

Ye Qingfeng merely smiled lightly, neither speaking nor showing any anger.

Having traveled the universe, he’s seen every shameless act imaginable.

While Ye Qingfeng kept his patience, Zhong Ming could not. He angrily retorted, "You’re talking nonsense."

Zhong Ming didn’t believe Xu Gou’s claims. Ye Qingfeng’s body refinement elixir had been shown in the East Sea Military District long before Scarlet Void Valley claimed it.

This Xu Gou is utterly shameless!

Xu Gou ignored Zhong Ming. He knew the pale and weak-looking young man was the one in charge.

"Master Ye, will you hand it over or not?" Xu Gou sneered, looking at Ye Qingfeng.

"What if I say no?"

Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly.

"Not handing it over? Then you are in league with that traitor, making you an enemy of Scarlet Void Valley."

A glint flashed in Xu Gou’s eyes, his expression cold.

"Your fate will be like this table!"

With those words, Xu Gou slammed his palm onto a solid wooden table beside him, instantly shattering it to pieces. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"What, you want to kill me too?" Ye Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That depends on how Master Ye chooses—whether to be a friend of Scarlet Void Valley or its enemy?" Xu Gou’s eyes shone with brilliance. "Master Ye, choose wisely!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense!

Everyone dared not speak, waiting for this pale young man’s choice.

How would this arrogant and defiant Master Ye choose in the face of Scarlet Void Valley’s threat?

Xu Gou sneered, knowing his excuse was flimsy.

But Scarlet Void Valley was strong enough that a wise person should know what to choose.

The Jian Family people were also present but said nothing.

Jian Yunfeng and Jian Lingling exchanged a glance, then looked away.

Jian Yunfeng thought to himself, feeling unlucky, thinking the Jian Family apologized too early. This unruly Master Ye defies Scarlet Void Valley, and the outcome is foreseeable.

Jian Lingling had become Ye Qingfeng’s person already. If this Master Ye was killed, Scarlet Void Valley would likely target Jian Lingling next.

Jian Yunfeng wasn’t worried about Jian Lingling; he only lamented losing such a beautiful woman, who could have been used to win favor from other powerful families or martial artists.

Now, she’d be buried with Ye Qingfeng, and Jian Yunfeng felt like he had lost something valuable.

"Master Ye, you should think it over. If you truly oppose Scarlet Void Valley, your bodyguard may not be a reliable crutch." Seeing Ye Qingfeng not speak for a long time, Xu Gou thought maybe Master Ye was moved.

"As long as you hand over our Scarlet Void Valley’s elixir recipe, not only will we forget the past, but my previous promise still stands: you can join our Scarlet Void Valley, and the Valley Master will personally guide you in alchemy."

Immediately, the surrounding Martial Artists began to whisper among themselves.

"Sigh, if it were me, I’d agree. A young person must learn to compromise and know when to advance or retreat, or else they’ll easily break from rigidity."

"Getting guidance from Elixir King Xiao Qiu would not be a loss, would it?"

"Ha." Ye Qingfeng chuckled softly and finally spoke:

"For someone like the Valley Master of Scarlet Void Valley to claim to be the Elixir King, that’s just trash. If you offered me thousand-year-old medicinal materials, I might consider giving him a tip or two."

"Outrageous, extremely arrogant!" Xu Gou could no longer tolerate it, bursting with anger.

"Do you really think your bodyguard can protect you?"

Ye Qingfeng was no longer interested in arguing and said to Zhong Ming, "Do it!"

"Then try it!" Zhong Ming’s momentum surged as he stepped forward, instantly shattering the floor beneath him, exuding domineering power.

"War General Level, definitely a War General Level, so fierce!"

"No wonder he could kill Hong Pang and Lin Yan."

A Martial Artist exclaimed.

Xu Gou’s pupils slightly contracted. Ye Qingfeng’s bodyguard was indeed extraordinary, a War General-level outer power cultivator with formidable strength.

He himself was just a Primary War General.

"Hmph, a mere War General Level thinks he’s invincible. Today, no one can save you!"

These words were not from Xu Gou but from outside.

As the voice fell, a person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

The man had a knife scar on his face, short hair, and held a steel knife, stepping towards them step by step.

"Kuang Dao, didn’t expect him to show up."

"This man was once favored by Scarlet Void Valley, so he could break through to War General Level, and now naturally he will help Scarlet Void Valley."

Seeing Kuang Dao’s appearance, Xu Gou suddenly felt more confident, looking at Ye Qingfeng with mockery: "Kid, even if you want to surrender now, it’s too late."

"A bunch of trash, talking too much nonsense," Ye Qingfeng smiled lightly.

Zhong Ming knew the instructor was impatient and didn’t want to waste more words with them.

His muscles bulged all over, winding like a horned dragon, and as he stomped the ground, it seemed to tremble slightly.

Zhong Ming’s body shot out like a cannonball, with fierce momentum, throwing a punch at Xu Gou.

Xu Gou wasn’t a Horizontal Refinement Warrior trained in outer power; he didn’t dare to take Zhong Ming’s punch head-on, hastily retreating to evade.

"Kuang Dao, stop wasting time, quickly deal with this bodyguard!" Xu Gou shouted.

Kuang Dao didn’t reply, just lifted his knife and joined the battle. Instantly, three Primary-level War General Martial Artists began a fierce battle in the hall.

War General Level Martial Artists have extraordinary destructive power, let alone three of them, causing the surrounding Martial Artists to quickly scatter.

Though Zhong Ming was just a Primary War General, he practiced the Ancient Body Refining Technique given by Ye Qingfeng, and with the help of Blazing Crystal, his body was harder than steel.

He could solo fight against two Primary War Generals without falling behind.

A group of Martial Artists stared, slack-jawed, surprised that Master Ye’s bodyguard was so formidable, able to take on two opponents at once.

No wonder Master Ye was so confident.

However, provoking Scarlet Void Valley, no matter how strong his bodyguard was, wouldn’t be enough to protect him.

No matter how strong Zhong Ming was, he was just one person. Xu Gou pressed the attack, pinning down Zhong Ming.

Kuang Dao seized the opportunity, his steel knife slashing across Zhong Ming’s body, making the surrounding Martial Artists’ hearts skip a beat.

However, Kuang Dao’s eyes slightly contracted. After the steel knife slashed Zhong Ming, it left only a faint bloodstain.

In that moment of Kuang Dao’s shock, Zhong Ming punched Kuang Dao, sending him flying.

Kuang Dao spat a mouthful of blood, then immediately returned to the fight. He had been careless, which was why Zhong Ming had injured him.
