Chapter 55: The Loser's Punishment

  With a loud crash, Ye Chen and Xu Fei's fists collided in mid-air.

  Xu Fei's face suddenly changed, he felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from the fists of his duel with Ye Chen, and immediately flew backwards.

  Ye Chen slowly fell from the air and stood there without hurrying to take action, but was coldly staring at Xue Fei.

  Everyone in the audience was left speechless, staring at what was happening before their eyes in utter disbelief.

  "Impossible! Xu Fei, who had six layers of shattered body, was actually punched flying by Ye Chen!"

  "Could it be... just now Ye Chen's attack probably had the power of eightfold Fragmentation!"

  "Really? He's recovered?"

  "How is this possible? In just two short months, Ye Chen has actually gained such strength!"

  That's right, Ye Chen currently has only a cultivation base of six pieces of fragmentation, but his true combat power has long surpassed the original eight pieces of fragmentation!

  Shen Xiang's eyes emitted a burst of excited light, and he secretly thought to himself: Brother Chen! The old Brother Chen has finally returned! However, I didn't expect that in just two short months, Brother Chen would already have recovered the strength he had after eight years of bitter laughter!

  Xu Fei fell to the ground, staring at Ye Chen with a shocked face and exclaimed in horror: "Impossible, how can you have such strong power?"

  Ye Chen sneered and said, "What? Do I need to tell you what kind of cultivation I have? Are you allowed to break through but not me?"

  Xu Fei's face was incredulous as he glared at Ye Chen and roared: "Breakthrough? Who would believe that a waste like you could cultivate to this level in just two months?"

  Yes! Who believes it?!

  Xu Fei's angry shout expressed the doubts of everyone present.

  Ye Chen let out a cold laugh and slowly approached Xu Fei, just like how Xu Feng had approached himself when he was lying on the ground that day.

  Ye Chen said softly to Xue Fei: "You understand the rules of the martial arts arena, right? Once you step onto the arena, it's a matter of life and death!"

  Ye Chen's words were not loud, but they reached everyone's ears.

  Everyone was shocked and stared at Ye Chen, they were not fools, they could hear the killing intent in Ye Chen's words.

  Xu Fei's face was ferocious as he stared at Ye Chen, his right hand tightly grasping the life-saving True Qi pellet that Xu Feng had given him.

  Ye Chen was already blinded by hatred at this time and didn't notice Xu Fei's slight movement with his left hand.

  "Ye Chen, dare you let me get up? Let's start again!"

  Xu Fei looked at Ye Chen's face, which was close to his, and burst out laughing. He shouted loudly, "Haha!" Xu Fei deliberately spoke so loudly that everyone could hear him. He was intentionally provoking Ye Chen, wanting Ye Chen to call out to him first, and then come over again.

  Ye Chen smiled coldly. In his eyes, the current Xue Fei was just an insignificant existence like an ant, and he didn't need to worry about what tricks he would play.

  Ye Chen took a few steps back and said with a playful smile: "Alright, I'll give you an opportunity!"

  Xu Fei looked at Ye Chen and saw that he had really fallen into the trap, a excited smile spread across his face as he slowly stood up, looking at Ye Chen, saying in a soft voice: "Ye Chen, do you know? Originally, today you could have killed me here without any worries, but now, I'm afraid it's going to be you who dies!"

  Xu Fei's words were finished, and he burst into a loud, sinister laugh. Suddenly, his true energy shot out violently towards Ye Chen...

  Ye Chen was just about to mock Xu Fei, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Fei threw something at him and suddenly felt a strong pressure.

  Ye Chen was shocked and thought to himself: "Not good! It's a True Energy Bullet!"

  The people below were also shocked. Shen Xiang and the others immediately saw that what Xu Fei had thrown out was a true energy bomb, and their faces changed in an instant.

  Xin Shen hastily shouted loudly towards Ye Chen: "Brother Chen, be careful!"

  Ye Chen watched as the True Qi bullet hurtled towards him, and he let out a furious roar in his heart. At this distance, he couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to.

  Ye Chen quickly calculated in his mind, he originally wanted to use the giant knife behind him to block, but after thinking about it, he gave up and directly placed his right arm in front of himself. After all, Ye Chen was quite familiar with the defensive capabilities of the dragon claw.

  Boom

  With a loud bang in the place where Ye Chen was, a burst of smoke instantly surrounded Ye Chen, and no one could see what was happening inside.

  Xu Fei looked at his own true energy ball hitting Ye Chen's body accurately and without error, and immediately burst into a crazy laugh: "Haha! You still want to kill me? Go dream!"

  The crowd in the arena was staring at the martial arts platform with a lingering fear. Just now, Ye Chen still had the opportunity to kill Xu Fei, but now, a Fragmented Void cultivator had forcibly resisted a True Qi bullet, and it was clear that this must have been given to him by Xu Feng. With Xu Feng's Yuan Dan eighth-level cultivation, the True Qi bullet he refined would be powerful enough to instantly kill even a Gathering Qi first-level cultivator. Ye Chen barely managed to withstand it, but he had no chance of survival.

  Shen Xian was shocked and rushed towards the martial arts stage.

  "Shen Xiang, outsiders are not allowed to disturb during martial arts competitions, you didn't know that?"

  Ye Ting Tian suddenly appeared under the martial arts stage, blocking Shen Xiang's path, and said with a playful face.

  Shen Xiang glanced at the smoke on the stage and shouted at Ye Ting: "Get out of here!"

  At this time, Wang Zhan and Huo Feng suddenly appeared on either side of Shen Xiang with gloomy faces, glaring at Ye Ting Tian.

  At this time, Wang Zhan and Huo Feng were also heartbroken. After all, Wang Zhan had seen the previous attack, and even if he had resisted it himself, he would have been doomed to die, let alone Ye Chen.

  At night, Ye Ting's eyes narrowed as she coldly stared at Wang Zhan and Huo Feng.

  Wang Zhan's face turned red with anger, and he roared at Ye Ting Tian: "Let Shen Xiang pass!"

  Yè tīng tiān lěng lěng de kàn zhe wáng zhàn, qīng shēng dào: "wǒ yào bù ràng nà?"

  Translation:

  At night, Tian looked at Wang Zhan coldly and said in a low voice, "What if I don't let that happen?"

  As soon as the words left his mouth, several other experts hastily surrounded a few people.

  Xu Fei walked slowly to the edge of the arena, looking down at Shen Xiang with excitement in his voice: "Shen Xiang, did you see that? Ye Chen is now dead!"

  Xu Fei suddenly spread his arms and shouted excitedly at the crowd: "Ye Chen is dead!"

  Shen Xian glared at Xu Fei with a face full of anger, and was about to rush forward when a soft cough echoed into the ears of the crowd standing below the martial arts stage.

  "Cough cough~~~~ Who said I'm dead?!"

  A shocking voice came out of the smoke, although it was a bit weak, but it told everyone present that Ye Chen was not dead!

  The faces of all the people in the field revealed a look of shock, and they stared blankly at the smoke on the martial arts platform.

  Xu Fei grew up with a mouthful of words, his face numbly looking into the smoke...

  A gentle breeze blew softly from afar, slowly dispersing the smoke that had obscured everyone's line of sight.

  A figure slowly emerged in everyone's line of sight...

  "Brother Chen!" Shen Xian exclaimed in surprise.

  "Ye Chen!"

  "Ye Chen!"

  "Ye Chen!"

  ........

  Everyone also subconsciously shouted out the name of the young man standing there - 'Ye Chen'!

  At this time, Ye Chen's whole body was tattered and had turned black, but from the look in his eyes, it could be seen that he hadn't actually suffered much damage. The giant knife that he had been carrying on his back had also become lodged in the martial stage due to the broken rope.

  Xu Fei's face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously retreated backwards, exclaiming: "How is this possible? How could you not be dead?"

  Ye Chen smiled coldly and coughed up a mouthful of blood: "Unexpected?"

  Ye Chen spoke as he slowly approached Xu Fei, his face extremely ferocious.

  Ye Chen took a step forward, and Xu Fei took a step back. In no time, Xu Fei sat directly on the ground.

  Xu Fei looked at Ye Chen in a panic as he slowly approached him, and he knew that today he was probably really doomed. Immediately, he quickly turned his head to shout loudly at the night listening sky below: "Listening Sky, save me!"

  Yè Tīng Tiān yě shì liǎn sè yí jīng, cǐ shí yě méi kòng xiǎng wèi shén me Yè Chén huì zài zhēn qì dàn de gōng jī xià, jìng rán hái néng huó xǐ lái, tā xiàn zài zhǐ zhī dào ruò shì Xú Fēng zhī dào Xú Fēi jīn tiān sǐ zài zhè lǐ, tā gǔ fǎ huì yě huì shòu dào qiān lián.

  Ye Ting's brow furrowed in the night, and he hastily waved his hand at the crowd beside him, rushing towards the martial arena.

  Wang Zhan and Huo Tian suddenly appeared at the edge of the martial arts stage, coldly staring at Ye Ting Tian and others.

  Huo Feng smiled playfully and said in a soft voice, "During the martial arts competition, outsiders are not allowed to interfere, you wouldn't know that?"

  Just now Ye Tian heard what Shen Xiang said, and now Huo Feng spoke again to Ye Tian.

  Ye Chen glanced over and playfully looked at Ye Ting Tian, softly saying: "What? You want to come up? Next time you invite me for a duel, I absolutely won't refuse!"

  Then, Ye Chen's face twisted in a scowl as he continued walking towards Xue Fei.

  At this time, Xu Fei was already frightened silly and completely forgot that as a cultivator with six pieces of Shattered Body, he could run away. As long as he ran down from the martial arts stage and reached the side of Ye Tian and others, he would be safe.

  At night, Tian heard the angry voice of Wang Zhan, who was staring at him with a fierce gaze, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

  As soon as the words came out of Tian's mouth, the scene was in chaos again. The people who had just divided into two groups moved towards their respective sides once more.

  Shen Xiang leapt up and directly jumped to the edge of the martial stage, vigilantly looking around in all directions.

  Those who stood on Ye Chen's side gradually moved closer to the martial arts arena, surrounding it tightly, and vigilantly watched others approaching them.

  In an instant, with the martial arts stage as the center, a three-layered enclosure was formed, with no way to escape...

  Ye Chen crouched down, his face twisted in a ferocious expression as he spoke to Xue Fei: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. This is the punishment that losers should endure!"

  Ye Chen's words fell, and his hands fiercely grasped Xu Fei's arms, then with a sudden burst of strength, he directly shattered Xu Fei's bones and meridians. Next were his legs...

  At this time, Ye Chen was not seriously injured from the first blow, but some internal injuries were inevitable. If Xu Fei resisted now, Ye Chen might not find it easy to take action.

  However, at this time Xu Fei did not resist, fearfully looking at Ye Chen, his whole body trembling.

  Now, Ye Chen has no true energy in his body and cannot directly disable Xu Fei like he did when he crippled Xu Feng. All Ye Chen can do is shatter Xu Fei's skeletal meridians.

  This also means that after Xufei, there will be no more opportunities for further cultivation!

  "Ah!"

  "Ah!"

  Several mournful cries escaped from Xu Fei's mouth.

  At this time, Mo Tian also walked over with a playful smile on his face, accompanied by Mu Bing. Mo Tian looked at the scene in front of him and was taken aback, subconsciously saying: "Did I miss something?"
