Chapter 427 - 428: Seizing the Post of Deputy Captain
Win, and you will earn the position of Deputy Captain. Lose, and you die!
The crowd’s expressions shifted slightly.
Di Xuan was at the Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer. His strength was terrifyingly immense. Defeating him would be no easy task. Everyone knew this was clearly a ploy to have Ye Wushuang killed!
"Do you accept?"
Di Xuan stared coldly at Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang stared back, his gaze just as cold.
"If you don’t accept, then get the hell off the training grounds immediately!" Di Xuan snorted. He could kill Ye Wushuang on the training grounds, but he could just as easily kill him off the grounds.
In short, he was determined to kill Ye Wushuang!
"I accept!" Ye Wushuang bit out two words. ’Accept? Why wouldn’t I? Is a mere Spiritual Spring Seventh Layer cultivator supposed to scare me?’
"Good!"
Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Di Xuan’s face. All that mattered was that Ye Wushuang had agreed!
"Let’s begin!" Di Xuan stared at Ye Wushuang, and a sudden murderous glint flashed in his eyes. A Killing Fist shot toward Ye Wushuang.
His speed was incredible. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed more than ten meters, his fist about to smash into Ye Wushuang’s body.
"I will avenge the Di Family! You piece of trash, don’t even think about leaving these training grounds alive today." Di Xuan’s chilling voice reached Ye Wushuang’s ears.
BOOM!
As his voice fell, the Killing Fist instantly shattered Ye Wushuang’s body.
But that body was merely an afterimage. Ye Wushuang’s real body had already vanished.
Di Xuan’s pupils shrank, a flicker of shock flashing through his mind!
The crowd’s eyes widened as they stared behind Di Xuan.
Not even they had been able to follow Ye Wushuang’s speed. It was too fast, so fast that no one had time to react.
Di Xuan also sensed the danger from behind and spun around, throwing a punch.
But...
Just as he turned, a slap arrived right on cue.
SLAP!
A resounding slap landed on Di Xuan’s face, sending him stumbling backward.
"Th... This guy, he slapped the Captain?" The crowd’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had accepted the challenge and immediately slapped Captain Di!
’He deserved it!’
Cao Hong and the young man were delighted. ’How long has Di Xuan been throwing his weight around, banking on the Di Family’s backing? He even openly questioned the assessment!’
"Bastard! You dare to slap this Captain!"
Di Xuan flew into a rage from the humiliation, his expression turning savage.
"Weren’t you worried about the Nanyang Guard accepting frauds? Weren’t you demanding I prove myself? Well, I’ve just proven it," Ye Wushuang said coldly.
"You’re courting death!"
Di Xuan roared, unleashing his Seven Kills Fist. The sky above the high platform filled with countless Fist Seals, which rained down densely upon Ye Wushuang.
Suppress!
Ye Wushuang executed the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon, striding forward. Everything in his path was suppressed, and the terrifying Fist Seals cracked and disintegrated.
’Here’s one back for you!’
Ye Wushuang’s gaze sharpened as he threw a punch of his own through the air. The Fist Seal it carried possessed an even more formidable and terrifying Killing Power!
"The Seven Kills Fist!"
Seeing the Fist Technique Ye Wushuang was using, Di Xuan’s face twisted in disbelief. Ye Wushuang knew the Seven Kills Fist too!
BOOM!
The punch, like a comet, shattered the sky full of Fist Seals and slammed into Di Xuan’s body.
PTUI!
Di Xuan’s body trembled as he coughed up mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Di Xuan hadn’t held back, so why would Ye Wushuang?
BANG!
Di Xuan’s body crashed onto the high platform, causing it to crack and crumble. The sheer force of the impact was terrifying to behold.
All eyes fell upon Ye Wushuang, filled with utter shock!
BOOM!
Ye Wushuang took a step and charged toward Di Xuan again. The murderous aura washing over them struck fear into the hearts of everyone below.
The crowd below immediately stumbled backward in terror. Ye Wushuang was too frightening; his aura alone was enough to make them afraid.
Di Xuan’s expression also changed. In that aura, he felt the stench of death.
"I..."
BANG!
Di Xuan tried to say something, but before the words could leave his mouth, a cold voice sounded in his ear, "Were you about to surrender? To stop the fight?"
As he spoke, Ye Wushuang’s figure appeared beside Di Xuan like a flash of lightning.
SLAP!
Another slap sent Di Xuan’s body flying.
BOOM!
Ye Wushuang strode forward, once again appearing at Di Xuan’s side.
"Did you think I didn’t know you wanted to kill me? That you wanted me dead!"
"You were so confident you could kill me, but you overestimated your own strength!"
"Now, you don’t even have the chance to surrender. What do you have to be confident about now, you piece of trash!"
The series of cold, mocking words echoed in Di Xuan’s ears, like sharp blades stabbing into his heart.
He had thought the person he was trying to kill was just a piece of trash. Only now did he realize that he was the real piece of trash. In the other’s eyes, he was nothing.
"Get down!"
Ye Wushuang shouted coldly, raising his leg high and sweeping it out in a spinning kick. With a resounding SLAP, the sole of his foot connected with Di Xuan’s face.
The airborne Di Xuan was sent spinning in another direction, flying off the high platform and crashing heavily onto the ground with a muffled groan.
Ye Wushuang’s eyes watched him coldly. If this had been anywhere else, Di Xuan would already be dead.
However, this was an assessment, so he did not kill Di Xuan.
The crowd, however, was dumbfounded. A Deputy Captain, brutally beaten by a candidate—it was unheard of!
That final kick, in particular, made everyone in the crowd feel a phantom chill on their own faces.
Di Xuan climbed up from the ground, a clear footprint still visible on one side of his face. Combined with his savage expression, he looked absolutely terrifying.
"Assaulting a Captain is a flagrant disregard for the law! Nanyang Guard, listen to my command! This man is a troublemaker who infiltrated our Nanyang Guard! Seize him immediately and execute him on the spot!"
Di Xuan roared, then immediately let out a sputtering sound as he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Captain Di, you yourself stated that you wanted to personally check if the Nanyang Guard was accepting frauds. Now that the result is clear, you claim he is a troublemaker. Are you treating this assessment as a child’s game?"
From the side, Tan Zhengqing walked over, his expression extremely cold.
"Captain!"
Seeing Tan Zhengqing approach, Cao Hong cupped his fist in a salute.
Di Xuan, however, wore a savage expression and said, "Captain, this man hid his Cultivation and infiltrated the Nanyang Guard with malicious intent! We cannot let him go! This subordinate is only thinking of the Nanyang Guard’s best interests."
"This matter is for me alone to decide. You should just worry about yourself."
Tan Zhengqing gave Di Xuan a cold glance, then started walking toward Ye Wushuang. Halfway there, he turned his head and added, "Also, the Nanyang Guard does not exist to serve you alone!"
"You..."
Hearing this, a cold light flickered in Di Xuan’s eyes from beneath his savage expression.
’Tan Zhengqing, I’ll remember you. I won’t let any of you off!’ Di Xuan shot Ye Wushuang a cold glance before leaving the training grounds, his heart full of unwillingness and resentment.
’The family must be told about Ye Wushuang!’
"Captain!"
Seeing Tan Zhengqing approach, Ye Wushuang also cupped his fist and smiled.
Tan Zhengqing smiled back. "Congratulations. You are the first person in the history of the Nanyang Guard to earn the position of Deputy Captain through an assessment!"
