Overlord of the Wilderness

Zhaang Ye’s brow furrowed at Jiang Song’s frantic shouts, and he casually flicked his hand.

THWACK!

Like a dead dog, Jiang Song was thrown viciously by Zhaang Ye. He was still shouting when the throw sent his face smashing hard into the ground. Several of his teeth were knocked out, and his mouth filled with dirt. He was an utterly pathetic sight.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—

The residents of Newcomer Peak were all powerful young masters. Jiang Song’s miserable cries quickly caught their attention. Zhaang Ye had just thrown Jiang Song when the sound of robes cutting through the air came from all directions. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen young masters had rushed to the scene.

The first to arrive was a pale-faced young man. He had triangular eyes and an ice-cold gaze, and his aura was just as frigid. He was like an extremely venomous snake.

The triangle-eyed youth flew over and glanced at Jiang Song, his brow immediately knitting. ”Jiang Song, what happened?” he asked coldly. ”Who did this to you?”

Jiang Song struggled to sit up. He pointed at Zhaang Ye and said venomously, ”Jiang Tu, it’s him! Break his legs for me! No, break his arms too!”

By now, more young masters from the vicinity had arrived. The lowest cultivation among them was at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage, and two had even reached the Half-step True Dao Realm. These young masters stood silently on the periphery, a chill running through their hearts as they heard the venom in Jiang Song’s tone.

A young master at the Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer glanced at Zhaang Ye and sighed softly. ”Who is this guy? His cultivation is only at the Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer, yet he dares to offend the Jiang Family. He’s finished now.”

Another young master nodded slightly. ”Jiang Tu of the Jiang Family has already cultivated his Profound Ice Qi to the 9th Layer. Even a Half-step True Dao Strongman with eighty percent Innate True Qi might not be his match. Once he makes a move, this kid is done for.”

Several other young masters nearby shook their heads. They knew full well how terrifying Jiang Tu was and held no hope for Zhaang Ye.

A trace of cold killing intent appeared in Jiang Tu’s triangular eyes. He stared coldly at Zhaang Ye, a strange, savage grin spreading across his face. ”Good, good, good! To think you’d dare provoke someone from our Jiang Family. Today, I, Jiang Tu, will not only break both your arms and legs, but I will also castrate you in public, ensuring you can never be a man for the rest of your life.”

The faces of all the spectating young masters changed. Broken arms and legs could eventually be reattached. But if a man’s private parts were cut off, there was no getting them back!

Everyone looked at Zhaang Ye with pity.

Zhaang Ye’s expression remained as calm as ever. He glanced at Jiang Song and said indifferently, ”A moment ago, Jiang Song wanted to break my legs, so I broke his. Now you want to break my arms and legs, and also castrate me. Fine. In that case, I’ll break your arms and legs, and I’ll castrate you as well.”

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The more powerful Zhaang Ye became, the more he adhered to this principle. Though Jiang Tu was powerful and backed by a formidable force, Zhaang Ye was completely unafraid!

HISS!

A wave of shocked gasps came from the crowd.

Someone whispered, ”This Zhaang Ye... still talking tough at a time like this. He must have a death wish!”

”Yeah. It seems the kid has no idea how terrifying the Jiang Family’s Profound Ice True Qi is. Otherwise, he would never dare say such a thing.”

”Heh, that kid Zhaang Ye is only at the Peak of Martial Arts Ninth Layer, yet he dares to talk about castrating Jiang Tu. Even if he doesn’t die today, he’ll lose a few layers of skin.”

Tu Feiyuan gave Zhaang Ye a deep look, a thoughtful expression flashing in his eyes. He nodded at Zhaang Ye and retreated to the side.

An extremely cold look shot from Jiang Tu’s triangular eyes as he said in a heavy voice, ”Good, good, good! No one has ever dared to speak to me like that. Zhaang Ye, you have a sharp tongue, don’t you? I’ll start by ripping it out!”

After saying this, Jiang Tu’s palm shot up. He pushed it toward the empty air and shouted, ”Freeze the Rivers and Lakes!”

Following Jiang Tu’s great shout, a terrifying wave of Profound Ice Qi swept through the area. The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and wisps of Water Qi flowing in the air instantly crystallized, forming an incredibly solid cage. Under this terrifyingly cold Qi, the large stone basin in Zhaang Ye’s hand exploded with a CRACK!

”What terrifying Profound Ice Qi!” The young masters watching from over a hundred feet away felt the fearsome chill. Their expressions changed in unison as they hurriedly executed their Body Techniques to retreat further.

As the young masters scrambled back, Zhaang Ye’s wrist trembled and Celestial River Righteous Qi surged forth. Propelled by the Righteous Qi, the shards of the stone basin shot toward Jiang Tu with a terrifying shriek. At the same instant, Zhaang Ye took three quick steps forward and unleashed a slash with his hand, cutting directly against the flow of Jiang Tu’s Profound Ice Qi!

Self-Created Combat Skill—Reverse Flow Slash!

Zhaang Ye had comprehended this Reverse Flow Slash beneath a waterfall, making it perfect for countering an opposing force. As he executed it, a brilliant golden blade-light materialized and slashed toward Jiang Tu at an indescribable speed. The sheer power of this counter-current attack made the hearts of the onlooking young masters simultaneously leap.

Jiang Tu’s heart leaped in his chest. ’First the basin shards, then a sudden counter-attack against the flow... His reaction speed is too fast, too tyrannical!’

WHOOSH!

Jiang Tu pushed out with both palms, and an endless, biting wind rose from the ground. Caught in this gale, the stone shards Zhaang Ye had fired made a series of cracking sounds before disintegrating into dust in the blink of an eye! After destroying the shards, the cold wind condensed into a massive Ice Sword that smashed viciously against Zhaang Ye’s palm-slash.

BOOM!

Upon the violent collision, Jiang Tu felt a brutally savage force slam into him. The Profound Ice Sword in his hands shattered inch by inch under this terrifying power. Horrified, Jiang Tu hastily executed his Body Technique and retreated more than ten steps before he could finally neutralize the frightening force of Zhaang Ye’s attack.

The onlooking young masters gasped in unison. They never would have imagined that Jiang Tu, who had cultivated his Profound Ice Qi to the 9th Layer, would be forcefully driven back by Zhaang Ye.

Zhaang Ye stood proudly in place, his face, limbs, and body coated in a thin layer of frost. However, his body, tempered by the Celestial River Righteous Qi, grew more formidable each day. A mere touch of Profound Ice Qi could not affect him in the slightest.

”Hmph!”

Knocked back by a single move from Zhaang Ye, Jiang Tu’s face turned ashen. He immediately reversed his retreat, charging forward like a savage Fierce Beast. His palms traced a series of Profound Mysteries as they struck toward Zhaang Ye. Jiang Tu’s Palm Technique was exceptionally fierce, and the Profound Ice Qi between his palms spread out wantonly, instantly turning an area of several hundred feet into a frozen wasteland!

”What a terrifying Palm Technique!”

Seeing the terrifying Palm Technique Jiang Tu unleashed, several young masters cried out in alarm. They hastily executed their Body Techniques and retreated again, putting over three hundred feet between them and the battle.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Zhaang Ye’s face remained perfectly calm, his hands moving like two sharp blades to parry each of Jiang Tu’s attacks. Then, a mocking smile touched the corner of his lips as he spoke slowly, ”Jiang Tu, is this all you’ve got? If this is the extent of your abilities, then you will absolutely not escape the fate of castration today.”

The entire area fell silent.

No one had expected it. Not only had Zhaang Ye effortlessly blocked Jiang Tu’s onslaught, but he even had the spare energy to mock him. The combat power Zhaang Ye was displaying was simply astounding!

Goaded by Zhaang Ye’s mockery, Jiang Tu’s ashen face flushed red and then paled. A venomous light shot from his triangular eyes. He had just opened his mouth to retort when he suddenly heard the crowd gasp. A vast Celestial River was rolling toward him!

Self-Created Combat Skill—Mountain-Breaking Slash!

By this point in the battle, Zhaang Ye had a solid understanding of Jiang Tu’s strength. He no longer wanted to waste any more time on this person. The Celestial River Righteous Qi in his body surged forth as he unleashed the Mountain-Breaking Slash.

”AH—”

The moment the Mountain-Breaking Slash appeared, an extreme sense of danger welled up in Jiang Tu’s heart. He no longer dared to hold anything back. The Profound Ice True Qi in his body poured out madly, condensing in the blink of an eye into a massive iceberg that crashed straight toward Zhaang Ye!

BOOM!

The iceberg Jiang Tu unleashed exploded the instant it was struck by Zhaang Ye’s hand. Jiang Tu had intended to use the force of the blast to grievously injure Zhaang Ye. But the Mountain-Breaking Slash lived up to its name; the power in Zhaang Ye’s palm was so incredible that it actually carved a vacuum tunnel through the air!

PFFT!

Zhaang Ye rushed forward along the vacuum tunnel, his hand slashing like a terrifyingly sharp blade, closing the distance in a flash of lightning. Jiang Tu never saw it coming. Horrified, he retreated rapidly, trying to dodge the attack. But Zhaang Ye’s Thunderbolt Body Technique was incredibly fast. Jiang Tu had barely started moving back when Zhaang Ye was already there, his hand viciously chopping down on Jiang Tu’s chest!

SPURT!

Jiang Tu instantly sprayed a torrent of blood, suffering a severe injury.

Zhaang Ye’s dark eyes were ice-cold. He abruptly took three steps forward and, with a series of WHOOSHes, delivered four slashes. The strikes landed on Jiang Tu’s arms and thighs. In the blink of an eye, Zhaang Ye had severed all four of Jiang Tu’s limbs. The sheer brutality of his methods left the onlooking young masters utterly dumbfounded!

After severing Jiang Tu’s limbs, a cold expression touched the corners of Zhaang Ye’s mouth. He swung his hand in a slash, aiming straight between Jiang Tu’s legs, determined to carry out his promise of castration.

”Stop!”

Just as Zhaang Ye raised his hand, a voice with an almost physical presence suddenly rang out. But Zhaang Ye paid it no mind. His hand swept between Jiang Tu’s legs like the wind. Blood immediately gushed from Jiang Tu’s crotch, and a piece of something fell to the ground!

”Ah, he really did it! He castrated him!” All the young masters present stared intently at the severed object on the ground, completely and utterly dumbfounded.
