Chapter 406 – Strongest Urban Disciple (Six)

Who throughout history has mastered the art of pretentious displays most successfully?

None could surpass Ye Kuang, a mere mortal who intimidated all the heroes.

He forcefully claimed the title of the strongest urban disciple and charged forward triumphantly.

Silver Wolf: “…”

Tank: “Holy shit, you’re really laying it on thick, aren’t you?”

It could be said.

If not for Tank’s booming voice snapping them back, the crowd might have remained stunned.

Hearing this, Ye Kuang turned around with a wide grin, revealing his prominent front teeth, and laughed:

“Well, that’s all thanks to you blocking those sky-splitting thunderbolts earlier. I’m in a good mood today, so you all can leave now.”

Child of Light: “…”

Son of Thunder God: “…”

Life Goddess: “…”

Child of Darkness: “…”

The few newly ascended kings: “…”

Seeing this, the disciples from various sects clearly didn’t dare to act recklessly.

One might even say.

Perhaps from now on, they would pale at the mere mention of the ‘tiger’.

At that moment, the soldiers couldn’t contain their overwhelming emotions, their eyes welling up with tears.

Though they didn’t understand why Ye Kuang was putting on such a show, from start to finish, this guy was truly an admirable man.

To the Elder and Tie Feng, this scene evoked complex feelings that were hard to conceal.

Seemingly contradictory, yet also mingled with unclear love and resentment.

Little did they know, Ye Kuang suddenly fixed his smiling gaze on a metal bird and spoke up cheerfully:

“Golden Lion King, you’ve been hiding in that metal shell for quite some time. Why not come out and experience my swordsmanship firsthand?”

Stunned!

Shocked!

And clearly bewildered!

It must be noted, aside from Ye Kuang, no one else had detected the Golden Lion King’s presence inside the metal shell.

Even the Elder showed a surprised expression.

In that instant.

Even Silver Wolf couldn’t help but change color upon hearing this.

“How dare you casually address His Excellency by name?”

This was to be expected.

Hearing this, Child of Light and the others couldn’t help but tremble with astonishment.

Clearly, none of them had known their teacher had come along.

Thinking of this.

They couldn’t suppress their inexplicable trembling, then one by one looked toward the metal bird pointed out by that certain madman.

Seeing this, Tie Feng also grew tense.

The Elder murmured to himself: “I thought it was strange. That old fellow wanted to challenge me back then, and I was wondering why he hadn’t shown up. Turns out he’s been here all along.”

“Youngster, it’s you again, that reckless youth. To think you could discover me—I must say, you’re truly remarkable.”

Just then, from mid-air.

An overwhelming pressure descended, easily subduing the entire scene.

At a glance, the disciples from various sects had never witnessed such terrifying presence.

It felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them, making even simple breathing somewhat laborious.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a middle-aged strongman slowly emerged.

As he landed, his golden hair flowed, exuding domineering aura. His hooked nose and eagle-like eyes all showcased his formidable character.

He moved silently, appearing on the scene in a single step.

Suffocating!

Hisses of astonishment!

Was this the aging old man known as one of the Eight Tycoons, the “Golden Lion King”?

At that moment, even the Elder couldn’t hide his surprise, and even felt some envy:

“When did this old guy become so young?”

Clap clap clap!

But who would have thought, Ye Kuang chose this inappropriate moment to applaud publicly.

His expression was as if he had found his role model for pretentious displays, and he praised unreservedly:”The Lion King truly lives up to his name. Such effortless movements, that silent yet palpable domineering aura—all are examples this junior must continue to learn from.”

Stupefied!

None could conceal their shock and fury!

Golden Lion King: “Truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers. Very well, since you’ve slain so many of my disciples, you may rest in peace now!”

As he spoke, a violent gale abruptly arose.

Reaching as far as the eye could see.

The storm’s eye rapidly took shape.

Distinctly causing everyone present to hear the howling winds and thunder.

Seeing this, even Ye Kuang couldn’t help but change expression, his eyes widening sharply.

“Dao Inquiry Execution Sword Art!”

Whoosh!

When that sword’s radiant light shot forth with deceptive simplicity.

The visual spectacle revealed an inescapable net of sword energy descending from the sky.

Creeeak—BOOM!

Immediately following, bursts of thunder quietly erupted.

The merciless sword intent contained within that single strike.

Actually managed to cleave the tornado into scattered whirlwinds.

Yet no one could have anticipated.

Countless cyclones then sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain, reforming once more.

Distinctly coalescing into a fist that cannon-blasted forward.

Its speed was like a thousand autumns in the blink of an eye, time flying like an arrow!

Seeing the incoming attack, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but roar inwardly with fury.

At that moment, his entire body gradually grew feverish and began trembling!

It was fighting spirit!

It was heroic boldness!

It was unyielding defiance!

And this must be said.

He had considered temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

Unfortunately, the time allotted to him clearly didn’t permit it.

Jade Void Creation Art… Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms… Eight-Nine Fist Strength… Myriad Tribulations Undying… all operating simultaneously.

Ultimately converged into just one sword strike before his eyes!

BOOM!!!

For a moment, amid the storm’s violent assault, their ears could clearly distinguish the roaring thunder.

Pfft!

Instantly, Ye Kuang tasted inexplicable metallic sweetness in his throat, clearly unable to restrain it.

The powerful recoil force, like a thousand jun of weight, proved unbearable.

His mouth flew open as he violently spat out old blood.

His iron-boned body became drenched in blood within the blink of an eye!

“Hiss…”

This scene left the onlookers utterly astonished, one after another.

Elder: “Damn! That old bastard has no martial integrity!”

As he spoke, the Elder’s figure flickered, quietly transforming into a green dragon that shot forth like lightning.

Surprisingly.

Ye Kuang suddenly shouted: “Don’t come over!!! Cough cough cough…”

In that instant.

The Elder halted, his face filled with frustrated disappointment.

The astonishment across the entire scene became indescribably profound.

All eyes focused forward, locked solely on that figure still standing tall like a pine.

Ye Kuang casually spat out a bloody mouthful.

Staggering unsteadily, he advanced toward the expressionless Golden Lion King.

That was a dominating posture.

That was unyielding pride.

That was the innate courage of mortals born to charge forward.

That was the peerless spirit of “where I stand, none may oppose”!

Seeing this, the Golden Lion King looked down from his superior position with contemptuous eyes.

But when the Golden Lion King suddenly spoke, he inexplicably burst into laughter:

“Impressive, impressive. But truthfully, this old man somewhat regrets your talent.”

“I now offer you a path to survival: join my faction. Luxurious carriages, beautiful women—everything you desire shall be yours. What say you?”

The scene fell into cold silence!

Merely because the Golden Lion King had spoken!

At that moment.

Even the Elder’s eyes turned frosty, as if saying:

“You damned old fossil, actually poaching right under my nose…”

Instantly.

The thoughts of everyone present became clearly written across their faces.Yet each and every one of them was filled with shock, fury, astonishment, surprise… and inexplicable jealousy!

They were all clearly waiting for an answer.

“Agree” or “Refuse”?

A mere choice between two words.

And the one to decide this matter was only one person!

It was none other than Ye Kuang again!

“Really?”

“As real as it gets. If you wish to learn more profound supernatural abilities, I will certainly hold nothing back and share all I know.”

“Ah, this truly leaves me feeling a bit overwhelmed by such favor.”

“So, do you agree?”

“Let’s have a fight first. If you can defeat me, we’ll talk about the rest.”

As he spoke, Ye Kuang was clearly itching for action.

Fully displaying his battle mania.
