Chapter 213 – Four Great Peaks! Isn't this bullying?

“Xu Xiao!”

Within the Void Battlefield, many murmured in recognition, identifying this Peak Tier figure!

Xu Xiao coughed repeatedly, holding a white handkerchief stained with streaks of blood, a stark and unsettling sight.

“Brother Ye, we meet again!” Xu Xiao looked up, smiling at Ye Sheng, who stood clad in white robes, his demeanor as if catching up with an old friend.

“Xu Xiao!” Ye Sheng’s expression remained calm. Their previous encounter had merely been a mutual probing, with neither side going all out. But in this Void Battlefield, no one would hold back—each would seek the other’s death.

Whoosh!

A figure in red flashed to Ye Sheng’s side—it was Tang Hongyi, wearing that jade-faced Fox Mask.

“Ye Sheng!” Tang Hongyi arrived beside him with a playful giggle.

“What are you doing here?” Ye Sheng asked flatly.

Seeing his aloofness, Tang Hongyi felt a pang of grievance. “To support you in battle, of course! I was worried about you,” she said, her voice soft and seductive, like soaking in warm water.

Ye Sheng frowned, wanting to send her away, but Tang Hongyi clung to him like stubborn adhesive.

“Gentlemen, it’s time to show yourselves!” Xu Xiao tucked away his handkerchief and glanced toward the eastern, southern, and western directions.

As soon as he spoke, a hearty laugh echoed from the west, accompanied by a startling dragon’s roar.

Everyone looked on in awe.

In the western void, a massive shadow appeared, towering like a mountain—a ferocious, monstrous beast.

Boom!

Flames ignited, blazing through the southern void, from which a colossal Western dragon slowly emerged.

This Western dragon had wings on its back, its entire body ablaze with fire, covered in thick, crimson scales. With every breath from its maw, scorching flames capable of melting the void spewed forth.

On the dragon’s head, all eyes turned…

A golden-haired, blue-eyed youth stood there, clad in dragon armor and holding an exaggeratedly long knight’s lance.

The golden-haired youth activated his Breathing Technique, his body shimmering with a crimson Aura Radiance, marking him as a Peak Tier like Xu Xiao!

“Balun, control that beast beneath you. Don’t let it roar recklessly!” Xu Xiao said with displeasure.

Since the Dragon Knight Balun appeared, his dragon had been roaring incessantly, grating on Xu Xiao’s nerves.

The Western dragon, no less intelligent than a human, roared in response but quieted down considerably, seemingly deeply wary of this seemingly insignificant human, Xu Xiao.

With Balun’s appearance, he blocked Ye Sheng’s western flank, causing many to pale!

From the eastern void, a figure strolled out.

This man moved with utter silence, yet he sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers!

The youth was hunched over, carrying a coffin on his back. The coffin was pitch black, emitting a dark glow, with an ominous aura continuously seeping from it—as if it housed an extraordinary corpse.

Standing beside Ye Sheng, Tang Hongyi said gravely, “This man is named ‘Luo Wuchang,’ a Peak Tier from an unimaginably powerful faction—the ‘Ghost King Hall’!”

“Ghost King Hall?” Ye Sheng frowned, hearing of this organization for the first time.

Tang Hongyi explained, “The Ghost King Hall is a colossal entity, its influence spanning the entire Federation. It has a branch in Nanming Province, with power beyond imagination!”

“What’s inside the coffin on his back?” Xu Xingchen asked curiously.

Tang Hongyi replied solemnly, “Likely the corpse of a 5th Revolution Ghost King…”

“What?!” Xu Xingchen was startled. What kind of monsters were these? They could even obtain the corpse of a Ghost King.

After Luo Wuchang appeared, endless green life light emerged from the southern void.

Accompanying it were countless green vines entangled together, sweeping forward like a green tidal wave.

Above this green ocean, a woman with fair legs appeared.

This woman was enveloped in green light, with countless flowers materializing and vanishing around her.

But on her fair skin, cracks would occasionally tear open, only to be repaired by green life energy.

It seemed this woman was constantly enduring the agony of her flesh tearing apart.

“Han Shuixian! From another top power in Nanming Province, ‘Narcissus Palace.'” Tang Hongyi revealed her origins.

After Han Shuixian appeared, she blocked Ye Sheng’s southern direction.

Thus, Ye Sheng was surrounded on all four sides—east, west, south, and north—by four Peak Tier experts. Their intentions were clear without further explanation.

They were joining forces to attack Ye Sheng alone!

“Ye Sheng, you’re in big trouble!” Tang Hongyi looked at Ye Sheng seriously and said, “Later, I’ll hold off one of them for you!”

Tang Hongyi said it lightly, but Ye Sheng knew she was willing to risk her life to do so.

Everyone knew she was no match for a Peak Tier expert. Only by burning her life potential could she buy Ye Sheng a brief moment.

“Boss, I can hold off one of them for you too.” Xu Xingchen grinned, not seeming like he was joking.

Shangguan Jianyun sighed, “Count me in!”

“No need!” Ye Sheng shook his head, directly refusing the three of them. Then, with a wave of his hand, a force swept them up and sent them away from the area.

Left alone, Ye Sheng looked up at the four Peak Tier experts surrounding him on all sides.

To deal with these four… he alone was enough!

…

“Let’s begin. First, eliminate this unexpected variable!” Dragon Knight Balun spoke indifferently, paying no mind to Ye Sheng and treating him as an anomaly.

Originally, this Federation Grand Examination was a competition among the four of them for the chance to enter the Emperor’s Tomb.

Suddenly, an unexpected variable had appeared, so naturally, the four of them had to eliminate him first to get things back on track.

Luo Wuchang remained silent, carrying the coffin on his back. He looked up at Ye Sheng, dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

A crack opened in the coffin on his back, and endless black corpse energy surged out from the gap, then flowed into Luo Wuchang’s nostrils and mouth.

As he absorbed the black corpse energy, Luo Wuchang’s hunched body straightened, and his eyes grew unusually excited.

But to others, this scene seemed somewhat eerie.

Han Shuixian let out a light laugh. Her fair body was wrapped in countless green leaves, thick vines coalescing around her, sprouting man-eating flowers ready to devour Ye Sheng.

Xu Xiao took a step forward, also preparing to act.

In the Void Battlefield, countless people retreated, leaving space for the five Peak Tier experts, intending to watch their battle first.

This battle was far too rare!

Gaining experience from it would be of immense help to their future development.

“Boss!” Xu Xingchen prepared to step forward to assist Ye Sheng but was stopped by Shangguan Jianyun.

Shangguan Jianyun shook his head, “Don’t cause trouble for Ye Sheng. We’d only hold him back!”

“Huh!” Xu Xingchen swallowed and nodded, “That… seems to make sense!”

Tang Hongyi looked at Ye Sheng and muttered, “This guy is as unromantic as a rock!”

…

“How will he handle this?”

Ghost Mountain City, in teahouses and bars across the city, countless onlookers watched, their hearts in their throats for Ye Sheng.

Though they had long anticipated that Ye Sheng would be jointly besieged by the four Peaks, when this moment truly arrived, they couldn’t help but feel indignant!

Wasn’t this just bullying?
