951: Chapter 944: Forceful Alliance 951: Chapter 944: Forceful Alliance Red Flame Valley’s Great Elder Wang Wuji possessed the strength of the Peak in Primordial Heaven, Valley Master Lie Yan possessed the strength at the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven, and Red Flame Valley’s Second Elder Wang Mingchong possessed strength at the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven as well.
Add to that Ye Chenfeng, who could instantly slay a master at the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven.
Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader Li Dongtian possessed strength at the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven, Yun Tian Sect’s Wang Zhongtian possessed strength at the Initial Stage of Primordial Heaven, Earth Demon Hall’s Great Elder Gui Tianlin possessed strength at the Peak of Primordial Heaven, and Earth Demon Hall’s Sect Leader Mo Wusha possessed strength at the Middle Stage of Primordial Heaven.
As for those from the Tianshan Sect and Myriad Poison Sect in the Sky-Breaking Realm, they could hardly play a role in this kind of fight.
That is to say, with the support of Red Flame Valley, the strength on Ye Chenfeng’s side was almost on par with that of the three major sects at this moment.
If they were to really engage in battle, it was very likely that both sides would suffer a mutual defeat.
Upon seeing Red Flame Valley’s Great Elder Wang Wuji step forward, the members of the three major sects all had a serious change in their expressions.
The temperature in this sealed space was rising higher and higher, and they did not wish to engage in a prolonged battle here.
Otherwise, even if the victory was not determined by the end, they might be roasted alive by the scorching high temperatures of this place.
Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader Li Dongtian, with a gloomy face, glanced at his son Li Zihao, who was lying on the ground half-dead, then turned his gaze to Red Flame Valley’s Valley Master Lie Yan and said, “Valley Master Lie, what do you mean by this?
Are you planning to make enemies with our three major sects?”
Before Lie Yan could answer, Ye Chenfeng spoke coldly, “Do you understand the situation you’re in now?
Right now, only I can take you out of here.
If you push me too hard, I might as well just end it all.
Do you think you can still leave this place then?
If that time comes, be ready to feel your bodies getting roasted!”
Ye Chenfeng needed to activate the mechanism to leave the sealed space, and by then, nothing could stop the members of Cloud Soaring Palace and the other sects from leaving with him.
The reason he was so eager to win over Red Flame Valley was for the moment they got out.
If the people from the three major sects attacked him together, he and Xia Zining would certainly not be able to escape.
If Red Flame Valley stood by his side, the situation would be vastly different.
Upon hearing what Ye Chenfeng had said, the faces of the people from Cloud Soaring Palace and the other sects grew uncertain.
They wondered if really pushing Ye Chenfeng to desperation and him seeking mutual destruction with them in this place was worth it.
Just now, they had only thought about crippling Ye Chenfeng first, controlling him, and making him obediently follow their orders.
But now that Red Flame Valley stood with Ye Chenfeng, that approach was absolutely impossible.
Once more, Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader Li Dongtian spoke out, “Valley Master Lie, do you really trust this lad to heal your son?
Don’t end up, after all this, being played by this kid.”
Upon hearing this, Lie Yan turned his gaze toward Ye Chenfeng and said, “Young brother, could you please start healing my son now?
Rest assured, nobody here can harm you.”
Ye Chenfeng frowned; of course, he couldn’t just easily help and heal the young master of Red Flame Valley, Lie Yang.
After all, he didn’t know what kind of person Lie Yan was.
If he cured Lie Yang and Lie Yan immediately turned hostile, what would he do then?
At that point, he would have to face the masters from the four major sects, and both he and Xia Zining would surely be doomed.
Therefore, Ye Chenfeng needed to think of a way to firmly pull Red Flame Valley to his side, leaving them no choice but to cooperate with him.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng remained silent, Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader Li Dongtian interjected, “Valley Master Lie, see?
The kid has given himself away.
Look how he hesitates; he surely can’t heal your son.”
After hearing Li Dongtian’s words, Lie Yan’s face revealed a look of suspicion, but just then, Ye Chenfeng spoke, “Valley Master Lie, to be honest, I can’t completely trust you yet.
The world is full of those who cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Maybe Valley Master Lie should do something to clear my concerns?
Then I will immediately start healing your son.”
When Ye Chenfeng’s words fell into Lie Yan’s ears, the look in Lie Yan’s eyes only hesitated for a moment before becoming determined.
He turned his gaze to Li Zihao, who lay on the ground like a vegetable, and as Cloud Soaring Palace’s Li Dongtian saw Lie Yan’s actions, a sudden dread filled him, and he immediately exclaimed, “Lie Yan, what are you thinking of doing?”
However, before Li Dongtian could finish his words, Lie Yan’s figure suddenly appeared beside Li Zihao.
Without any hesitation, he kicked Li Zihao’s head; a “crack” sound echoed as Li Zihao’s head snapped off his neck and rolled into the magma pool to the left of the sealed space, instantly disintegrating in the violently churning, fiery lava.
The headless corpse of Li Zihao lay on the ground, his blood still streaming out from the severed neck.
Li Zihao, the heir to the Ancient Martial Punisher and the young master of Cloud Soaring Palace, died here in this manner.
If he had not crossed paths with Ye Chenfeng, perhaps he could have become the foremost expert in the Ancient Martial World, but there are no what-ifs in this world.
Upon seeing his son killed by Lie Yan, Li Dongtian’s palms suddenly clenched into fists, his eyes filled with raging fury, as he bellowed, “Lie Yan, do you realize what you’ve done?
My son is the heir to the Ancient Martial Punisher; your Red Flame Valley is doomed!”
After kicking away Li Zihao’s head, Lie Yan ignored Li Dongtian completely, his gaze fixed on Ye Chenfeng as he asked, “Young brother, now you can confidently proceed to save my son, right?”
Lie Yan’s decisive and ruthless method showed how important Lie Yang was to him.
Now that Lie Yan had killed Li Zihao, Red Flame Valley was unquestionably at odds with Cloud Soaring Palace, which was the outcome Ye Chenfeng wished to see.
Now he could fully focus on treating the unconscious Lie Yang.
“Since Valley Master Lie is such a straightforward man, I, Ye Chenfeng, will not be vague either,” Ye Chenfeng said as he laid the unconscious Lie Yang on the ground and opened the clothes at his chest, adding, “I must not be disturbed during my treatment.”
The Sect Leader of Earth Demon Hall, Mo Wusha, finally couldn’t help but speak up, “Kid, get us out of here first.
Don’t you feel the temperature rising?
At this rate, we won’t be able to hold on.”
Ye Chenfeng dismissed Mo Wusha’s words as if they were nothing, took out an acupuncture kit from his bosom, and said to Lie Yan, “Valley Master Lie, I will now begin the acupuncture to save a life.”
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, three people from Red Flame Valley—Lie Yan, Wang Wuji, and Wang Mingchong—stood around Ye Chenfeng, watching the people from the three major sects coldly, while Xia Zining stood beside Ye Chenfeng.
After quickly sterilizing the silver needles, Ye Chenfeng recalled the technique of Ghost King Thirteen Needles in his mind.
Lie Yang was smitten by a fiery poison, and the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, belonging to the Yin attribute, was the perfect method to drive out the heat poison in Lie Yang’s body.
As Ye Chenfeng prepared to use the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, the mutated dark red Qi within him began to stir.
According to the last words of Yun Tian Sect’s Sect Master Yang Feipeng, this eerie Qi aided the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, no wonder the peculiar Qi in Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian became restless every time he executed the technique.
The moment the silver needle in Ye Chenfeng’s hand pierced Lie Yang’s chest, his entire right arm, which was holding the needle, was enveloped by the dark red Qi from his Dantian, giving the bystanders a chilling sensation as if it were the arm of the Grim Reaper.
After Ye Chenfeng completed the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, everyone present clearly saw a series of ghastly skull illusions appear above Lie Yang.
These skull illusions circled over Lie Yang, and as they manifested, the heat poison within Lie Yang’s body dissipated bit by bit, his vitality stabilizing and growing stronger.
Li Dongtian of Cloud Soaring Palace, Mo Wusha of Earth Demon Hall, and Wang Zhongtian of Yun Tian Sect, all three showed greedy expressions upon witnessing the phantasmal skulls, for they had read in their sect’s archives about the appearance of such illusions after the completion of the Ghost King Thirteen Needles.
They were now convinced that Ye Chenfeng had utilized the legendary technique.
Li Dongtian of Cloud Soaring Palace thought to himself, “It seems this youngster Ye Chenfeng has indeed found the treasure of Ghost King Sect, even obtaining their heritage.”
Meanwhile, those from Earth Demon Hall and Yun Tian Sect harbored remarkably similar thoughts.
