Free Web NovelChapter 232: Chapter 232: Ye Ming is Still Alive _1
"These petty tricks can’t harm me in the slightest! They will only exhaust your True Qi and turn you into meat on the chopping board."
Ye Ming’s voice echoed in Master Long’s ears. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Having exerted all his strength, Long Zaitian suddenly widened his eyes and clearly saw Ye Ming standing unharmed at the center of the storm.
Around his body was a white barrier.
"This is..."
An expression of disbelief appeared on Long Zaitian’s face. If he wasn’t mistaken, the white barrier surrounding Ye Ming was the Protective Gang Qi that only an Earth Rank Fighter could summon.
The only plausible explanation for being able to effortlessly fend off his attacks with Protective Gang Qi was that Ye Ming’s strength was far superior to his.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible, why is this happening?"
"If you possess such formidable strength, why didn’t you simply wipe out the Zhang Family?"
Long Zaitian voiced his life-questioning doubts, for the surrounding dust had already obscured everything from view, and since no one could see his face, Long Zaitian no longer bothered to pretend.
He was truly afraid.
This phenomenon indicated that Ye Ming’s strength was far above Long Zaitian’s. Even if Long Zaitian used his trump card, it would be impossible to harm Ye Ming in any way.
But if Ye Ming had such enigmatic and profound strength, why did he let the Zhang Family ask for his help? He could easily eliminate the entire Zhang Family with a flick of his fingers, so why bother agreeing to their wager?
"I am not a murderous devil. I only wanted justice. If reason does not work with words, then I will speak with my fists! It’s that simple," explained Ye Ming calmly.
By now, Ye Ming’s explanation left Long Zaitian with no room for doubt. With Ye Ming’s strength, there was no need for him to lie.
At this moment, he was filled with regret; he regretted representing the Zhang Family.
Not only had the Zhang Family been utterly defeated, but Long Zaitian would also lose his reputation and perhaps even his life.
Ye Ming laughed disdainfully, "You have already used your full strength, but I, I haven’t even begun!"
"Now it’s my turn to make a move. I hope you’re not afraid to take it!"
After speaking, Ye Ming’s body moved effortlessly through Long Zaitian’s magic and charged directly at him.
Like Wang Hong, those who practice magic lack the physical strength of an ordinary martial artist.
Even someone as strong as Long Zaitian could at best match a Ninth Rank Martial Artist’s physical toughness, which was more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but he was facing a Great Grandmaster.
"It’s over!"
These two words were the only thing in Long Zaitian’s mind right then.
And then, like a kite with its string cut, his body lost gravity and fell freely.
The Four Elements Unison he controlled also went berserk. The ground began to collapse, and both of their bodies sank into it. Then, the surrounding soil and boulders instantly buried the pit, entombing Ye Ming and Long Zaitian alive underground.
As the dust settled, the figures of the two men were no longer visible at the scene.
The deep pit created by the enormous force was also completely buried by soil and broken stones.
If the crowd was not mistaken, Ye Ming must have been buried alive.
"Ye Ming!" Xia Ningning screamed, her body freezing on the spot.
Lin Bingqing was also in disbelief, her legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground. Everything she had was given by Ye Ming, and now that he was gone, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out.
Looking to the other side, the Zhang Family members cheered in unison. Zhang Lijun revealed a cruel smile and Zhang Kuang shouted, "Haha, Ye Ming, that bastard, is finally dead! He’s been buried alive by Master Long!"
"Letting him die like that is indeed letting him off easy, but as long as he’s dead, that’s good enough!"
At this moment, the frustration that had been pent up in Zhang Lijun’s heart was finally released. He felt an unprecedented exhilaration, and at the same time, he stood up proudly as if to tell everyone that this was the fate of anyone who dared to provoke the Zhang Family!
A crowd of spectators also exclaimed in shock.
"Truly worthy of Master Long, the foremost fighter of Ningjiang City. Today I have witnessed an unforgettable scene, the Four Elements Unison, indeed the number one technique in the world! Truly incomparable!"
"That Ye guy, no matter how arrogant he is, in front of Master Long, he was simply outmatched! Being buried alive is the retribution he deserves for his arrogance, the price he pays for his own hubris!"
"In my opinion, that kid Ye Ming must have been turned into fragments by now, becoming one with the soil, satisfying, truly satisfying!"
Amidst the cheering and excitement of the people, Zhang Ruoxue’s expression was out of place.
Doubt appeared on her face as she recalled the scene outside Xiaosang Village, where Ye Ming had killed a bear with his bare hands.
"Is Ye Ming really dead?"
Without seeing Ye Ming’s corpse, she felt very uncertain in her heart.
She had a strong premonition that Ye Ming certainly wouldn’t just die like that.
Her heart was uneasy, somewhat lost.
Zhang Ruoyu seemed to sense her thoughts and leaned over to ask, "What’s wrong?"
Zhang Ruoxue nervously shook her head and said, "I feel that Ye Ming isn’t dead, he can’t possibly die just like that."
Zhang Ruoyu frowned. She knew her sister was often carefree, but now the truth was right in front of them.
"Ruoxue, whose side are you actually on? How could Ye Ming possibly still be alive?"
"With such a huge commotion, not to mention Ye Ming, even heavenly gods would struggle to escape death, he..."
Just as Zhang Ruoyu was speaking, her peripheral vision suddenly noticed a strange scene.
The soil covering the pit was moving, as if something was about to break through the ground.
The sisters stared intently.
Before long, a hand appeared, and then more and more soil started scattering to the sides.
With a loud thump, a figure emerged from the soil. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
On closer look, it indeed was Ye Ming.
"Ye Ming... he’s still alive, he really isn’t dead!" Zhang Ruoxue didn’t know what she felt, but she shouted out loud at this moment.
The people around frowned and said, "Miss Zhang, stop joking. After such a big commotion just now, how could Ye Ming possibly not be dead? How could he survive?"
"Miss Zhang, you usually like to daydream, but now is not the time for your nonsense."
"Yeah, Miss Zhang, you must have been scared earlier, that’s why you... My God, it really is Ye Ming, he’s still alive."
More and more gazes turned towards the mound of soil, and indeed, they saw a figure slowly walking forward.
Upon closer inspection, that figure was indeed Ye Ming.
