Chapter 164: Insidious and Cunning (Part Two)

Ye Feng's words instantly drew a countless number of rolling eyes from the crowd below. Damn it, you want to be shameless and drag your brothers down with you to be shameless too, have you no shame left at all?

Though they thought this way in their hearts, the crowd below did not show a shred of gentlemanly demeanor; hundreds of people swarmed forward in a chaotic charge.

The Heavenly King Alliance was no longer what it used to be. While the rules were a bit more numerous, the rewards were also extremely enticing. Especially the spiritual fruits in Ye Feng's hands—not only were they yearned for by all the newcomers, but even veteran-level figures like Xiao Chong惦 记 (yearned for them) day and night, ready to extort one or two whenever an opportunity arose.

"Mine! This opponent was snatched by me first, you are not allowed to fight me for him!" A newly joined Spirit Emperor expert quickly rushed into the Sacred Land's formation, delivering a powerful, heavy-handed slash that completely engulfed a Sacred Land expert, all the while muttering incessantly.

Compared to the veterans, this group of newcomers was even more fanatical. After all, what the veterans lusted after were merely spiritual fruits, whereas what they wanted was an opportunity to enter the Inner Cabinet.

After the Inner Cabinet was established, just as everyone had anticipated, those who managed to get inside put on quite a show of arrogance in front of their Outer Cabinet brothers, their nostrils practically turned up to the sky.

Of course, the treatment enjoyed by the Inner Cabinet members was also exceptionally lavish. Not only could they receive guidance from big-brother-tier figures, but they could also exchange contributions for various spirit techniques or even divine abilities.

"How is he yours? You didn't even kill him yet! The Boss said, whoever gets him, he belongs to him!" Almost in the blink of an eye, the Sacred Land expert who had been claimed by him was surrounded by nearly ten members of the Heavenly King Alliance. Without a single exception, these individuals had all joined the Heavenly King Alliance recently and were eager to earn military merits to enter the Inner Cabinet or exchange for spiritual fruits.

"Shameless! How can you people be so shameless? I spotted him first!"

While arguing vociferously, everyone did not pause their hands in the slightest, scrambling over each other to attack their adversaries for fear of falling behind.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

For a time, spiritual energy raged throughout the courtyard of the Heavenly King Alliance, and peerless violent forces crisscrossed the area. The few remaining trees in the surroundings suffered immediately, instantly shattering and turning into a sky full of wooden splinters.

Looking around, almost every Sacred Land expert was surrounded by at least several newly recruited brothers of the Heavenly King Alliance. These individuals cursed and swore non-stop, expressing their annoyance that their own brothers were fighting them for prey.

At the same time, whenever a Sacred Land expert fell, the crowd besieging them would instantly scatter and quickly join other battle groups to snatch the spoils of war.

"Lunatics, they are truly a bunch of lunatics!" Xiao Chong cursed and walked toward the edge of the battlefield, because his own opponent had also been snatched away by a dozen lunatic-like newcomers...

When Xiao Chong reached a vacant corner, he was surprised to find that Jialuo and a dozen other top-tier experts of the Heavenly King Alliance were also standing there quietly with helpless expressions.

"Oh... what a coincidence... your opponent got snatched too?" Kong Kong waved at Xiao Chong and said with a smile.

"Smile my ass! My spiritual fruit... just got snatched away alive like this, what a bunch of lunatics. A freak spawns a bunch of lunatics, the rotten upper beam makes the lower beams crooked, dammit!"

Xiao Chong irritably thrust his longsword into the ground and pointed at the sky, cursing at Ye Feng.

At this moment, outside the courtyard of the Heavenly King Alliance, a large group of people who had come to watch the commotion looked at each other in dismay.

"Too savage, it's just too damn savage... This isn't a fight at all, it's clearly a mob beating..." A young man who had previously intended to make a move against the Heavenly King Alliance lingered with lingering fear, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Those who shared his thoughts were not few. These people had come here with the intention of picking up easy gains, waiting for the members of the Heavenly King Alliance to reach their limit so they could fiercely humiliate these geniuses who were usually so arrogant and aloof.

Yet right now, apart from sheer luck, there was only more luck in everyone's hearts. Was this supposed to be a loss of ninety percent of their combat power? Good grief, every single one of them was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Throughout the entire battle group, it was nothing but scenes of group beatings... except for the sky above.

The Sacred Land had mobilized all of its manpower for this operation, which included two Spirit Emperors.

Right now, the monkey was screeching and jumping wildly, chasing a veteran Spirit Emperor to the point where he had no path to heaven and no door to the earth.

However, our Second Brother Ye was encountering immense trouble.

Possessing only the cultivation base of a half-step Spirit Emperor, he could at best match a two-star Spirit Emperor, but he was unable to defeat one.

The last time he struck out in bitter hatred while almost losing his mind, he had accidentally killed a heavily injured Spirit Emperor. This time, however, our man simply lacked that capability. Of course, it was also possible that he just couldn't stand seeing certain people standing around doing nothing.

"Ah... I can't hold on..." In mid-air, Ye Feng let out a strange cry and staggered backward toward Jialuo and the others on the open ground.

Seeing his footsteps unsteady and his complexion seemingly wavering, the few of them dared not be careless and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"What are you standing around for... go get him!" Ye Feng weakly brushed off the people supporting him and said with 'bitter hatred'.

Swish, swish, swish...

Without overthinking, Jialuo, Kong Kong, Xiao Ye, the Demonic Slayer, and a few others rushed into the air at the very first moment and engaged that Spirit Emperor in a chaotic melee.

At this moment, the Spirit Emperor in the sky was also filled with doubt and suspicion, thinking to himself: It seems, roughly, seemingly, perhaps... I didn't even hit him, did I? How did he end up injured? Could he be suffering from some hidden ailment?

"Ah... that's right. How could I, the Alliance Leader, do all the hard fighting while letting you lot stand around watching a show?" Down below, our man instantly resurrected on the spot at full health, smiling craftily as he patted the dust off his clothes, casually pulled over a three-legged stool, and sat down.

"You... can you be any more shameless? You actually scheme against your own brothers, you are truly too shameless..." Xiao Chong was dumbfounded, looking at Ye Feng—who had just been wailing a moment ago about 'dying, dying...'—with a face full of disgust and contempt.

"Is this... is this that legendary Ye Feng? Isn't he a bit too extraordinary?" In the distance, the crowd of onlookers also turned to stone instantly, pointing at the swaggering Ye Feng sitting there, utterly unable to believe it.

Screech... screech...

High in the sky, the monkey also screamed in a bedraggled state, drifting in a crooked line toward where Ye Feng was.

"Get lost... stop copying my act, hurry up and finish off that old fogey for me, looking at him irritably stresses me out!" Ye Feng kicked the monkey right on its backside and said unhappily.

Hearing this, the monkey screeched in dissatisfaction, its small paws gesturing continuously at its body to indicate that it was injured.

Clearly, when it came to matching Ye Feng in shamelessness, the monkey still fell quite a bit short.

Under the pretext of checking its injuries, our man directly grabbed the monkey by the scruff and hurled it back up into the air.

"Screech... screech... bad guy..." The monkey flailed its claws and shrieked, ultimately having no choice but to chase that Spirit Emperor around the streets once again.
