Chapter 1471: I Come to Enforce Justice

Year One, Chapter 475: I Come to Uphold Justice

Ye Fan, carrying a blood-soaked leg, agilely evaded the "Netherworld City Fengdu" and, in an instant, dodged the law-beams of two Great Sages. Like a dancer on a knife-edge, he twirled lightly and shot across the sky.

Blood splattered like rain, staining half the sky red. Ye Fan struck Liu Feng horizontally, breaking out of the encirclement, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Is this real? Liu Feng, with his divine posture and saintly bones, has been defeated. His aura of invincibility is broken."

"The Sacred Body is too powerful! It actually defeated a Great Sage; it's simply unbelievable!"

"It's like a myth! A Saint King attacking a Great Sage and succeeding, with the Sacred Body powerfully taking the initiative. This is truly unrivaled among peers, both in heaven and on earth."

Liu Feng was a Great Sage, even if newly ascended, but his cultivation realm was undeniable. Yet, he was cleaved in half, losing a significant portion of his body, with his colorful internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

People could barely believe their eyes; it was too shocking.

This was a bloody battle!

Liu Feng, having lost part of his body, was covered in blood, a horrific sight. He roared in a low voice, suffering not only immense physical pain but also deep spiritual agony.

He was a Great Sage, born with unique bones, yet he was cleaved in two like this, almost dying on the spot. Had Liu Mingde and the others not intervened, he might have perished.

"Everyone, quickly collect the precious blood!" shouted the Dragon Horse, deliberately taunting Liu Feng. "This flowed from a Great Sage's body; it can be used in medicine. Every drop is a vital fluid, a rare opportunity."

Liu Feng's features twisted. Enduring severe pain, he looked over, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.

On the other side, Liu Mingde was heartbroken. This was the Liu family's most promising talent, a future pillar of support. If anything truly unforeseen happened, nothing could compensate for it.

"Uncle, are you alright?" The child with the venomous gaze was also frightened now, shouting loudly.

Nearby, the expressions of the two Great Sages flickered uncertainly. Ye Fan had almost crippled Liu Feng right before their eyes, a speed truly beyond common sense—too fast.

"It's the Secret of Movement, an unparalleled precious technique that involves the domain of time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to evade my strike," Wang Tianyu murmured to himself.

The grey-haired, grey-eyed old man's expression was stern. Silver blood surged within him, gradually boiling, and a powerful aura slowly emanated, causing all the cultivators in the ancient city to tremble.

On the other side, Ye Fan stood in mid-air, as still as a heavenly monument, his expression calm. Only the leg he held in his hand was truly shocking, still dripping blood.

This was the leg of a Great Sage. Anywhere, it would be utterly astonishing. In this era, with Great Emperors unseen and Quasi-Emperors rarely found, individuals like them represented the peak of combat power!

"Bang!"

Ye Fan refined away the killing intent from the flesh, then tossed it with a shake of his hand. The Ancient Golden Roc swept across the sky, its golden divine feathers spread wide, radiating brilliant light. It swooped down, snatched the Great Sage's leg, and landed on a distant celestial palace to begin tearing at it.

Everyone gasped, silenced by shock. How utterly astounding was this? Feeding a Great Sage's leg to a fierce bird of prey was truly appalling!

"You..." Liu Mingde was furious. This was an immense humiliation for their clan. What did they take them for? To be fed to savage beasts and fierce birds?

Liu Feng could no longer remain calm. Losing his usual composure, he couldn't help but let out a furious roar towards the sky, consumed by hatred. He was a genius, enveloped by divine halos since childhood, honored amidst countless gazes, yet now he had suffered such a defeat.

The final human checkpoint pulsed with killing intent. A column of smoke-like energy surged up, then swept across all directions. Liu Feng was nearly insane, unleashing a powerful murderous intent, determined to use his heavenly techniques at any cost to slay Ye Fan and the others.

"No!" Liu Mingde stepped forward, grabbing him. "With several Great Sages here, why exert yourself? We'll kill him slowly later."

Liu Feng's chest heaved violently, and his breathing was heavy. After a long while, he calmed down and began to heal his injuries. His bones and flesh pulsed, making crackling sounds, as a new leg grew out.

Wang Tianyu and the Silver Blood Great Sage both wore indifferent expressions. Without saying another word, they locked onto Ye Fan with their Dao principles, ready to unleash a thunderous strike at any moment.

"You two, go together and kill him," Liu Feng said in a hoarse voice.

At that moment, the three Great Sages stepped forward together, walking towards Ye Fan. The heavens and earth trembled as if an ancient giant was about to overturn the sky, shaking violently.

"Human Sacred Body, you are indeed very strong. We must admit you are a genius, endowed with extraordinary talent. But what does that change? It doesn't alter the fact that you will die here," Liu Mingde said, sneering repeatedly, intending to break Ye Fan's fighting spirit.

"You talk too much," the Dragon Horse retorted. "We just cleaved a Great Sage. Can't you see the result, or are you just spewing nonsense?"

Liu Mingde's mouth twitched at these words, but he quickly calmed himself and countered, "Too bad, you can't change the outcome. You merely injured my nephew, but you didn't kill him, and you'll never have that chance again. Now, with three Great Sages present, do you think you have a chance to survive? How will you resist?"

Everyone fell silent. This was an undeniable fact. Who could possibly fight three Great Sages? Ye Fan was indeed strong, capable of challenging those of higher cultivation, but there was a limit.

Liu Feng had only recently ascended to Great Sage. If someone with Emperor's potential were to act, there might still be a chance to defeat him.

However, Wang Tianyu and that grey-haired, grey-eyed old man were clearly powerful Great Sages, having entered this realm untold years ago. They might even be nearing the pinnacle of Great Sage cultivation. Such a disparity could not be measured by conventional means. Even if a god were to swap places with Ye Fan, it wouldn't change anything; they were separated by many minor realms, with no way to defy heaven.

One could say this was a death trap. At this cultivation level, anyone entering this situation was destined to die!

Ye Fan was at least seven or eight minor realms below two Ancient Sages, and with the chasm of the Great Sage barrier, defying heaven was simply impossible.

Liu Mingde and the others greatly valued Ye Fan, and despite verbally disparaging him, they were not careless in their actions. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gathered several Great Sages, leaving him no chance of survival.

People in the distance sighed. This was fundamentally an unequal battle. Even if Ye Fan possessed extraordinary talent, he was helpless, with no opportunity to use his skills.

In a bloody battle, only death awaited him.

Liu Feng had completely calmed down. He stepped forward, his expression cold, joining Wang Tianyu and the Silver Blood Great Sage to encircle Ye Fan.

"In this world, there is no shortage of geniuses. Human Sacred Body, you are very strong, but what does that matter?" Wang Tianyu said indifferently.

"Without becoming a Great Sage, you are merely a straw dog. A single casual strike from us can destroy an entire region's living beings; killing you will be incredibly easy," the Silver Blood Great Sage added cruelly, his eyes cold and intimidating.

What they said was harsh, but it was indeed a fact. Once a Saint King was trapped, there would be no suspense; they were destined to be easily obliterated by a Great Sage.

Liu Mingde also stepped forward, with the ancestral artifact Fengdu hovering above his head, making him appear eerily spectral and intimidating. He chuckled, "Today, this old man will teach you a lesson in what it means for a lion to hunt a rabbit. Strictly speaking, you are very strong, but before seasoned Great Sages, you are less than a straw dog; you are nothing."

He continued to mock and belittle Ye Fan and the others, chuckling incessantly, as if everything was within his grasp.

Pang Bo, Ji Haoyue, the Dragon Horse, the Ancient Golden Roc, and others glared furiously. These people were going too far, and they were about to charge forward and fight to the death, but Ye Fan stopped them.

"Do you understand your situation?" Liu Feng said, pointing at the Ancient Golden Roc and the others, addressing Ye Fan. "You can't change the outcome. Not only you, but they too will die."

"Let's fight!" Pang Bo and Ji Haoyue both prepared for battle.

"What's the rush? Take your time. My move will be enough."

Ye Fan spoke.

"Young man, are you spouting nonsense?" Liu Mingde scoffed. "The ancient city gates are closed. Even a god couldn't escape with wings. To dream of breaking through is utterly delusional."

Ye Fan's words were startling. "The city gates are finally completely sealed. I suppose none of you can run now. And to those hidden in the shadows, you've worked hard, but come out and face your deaths."

"Heh!" Ji Ziyue's crescent-shaped eyes curved. She revealed a faint smile, a small dimple appearing, and vigorously waved her small fist, saying, "I like the sound of that."

"A mere ant dares to boast so shamelessly," Wang Tianyu was the first to act. He casually raised his hand and struck forward, his power of law as vast as the sea.

Liu Feng, the Silver Blood Great Sage, and Liu Mingde also stepped forward, beginning their deadly assault, each sneering endlessly.

Ye Fan stood in the sky, completely calm, not attempting to evade. Watching the massive hand descend, with chains of order interweaving, he drew forth an immortal sword with a clang. In an instant, its light illuminated eternity!

"Since you disregard all rules, then I shall begin a great slaughter!" This voice exploded like a clap of thunder in the final Sacred City.

"Clang!"

As the furious sword was drawn, mountains and rivers paled. Like a bolt of lightning, it rose from Ye Fan's palm, its killing intent soaring for a hundred thousand miles, unimpeded even by the ancient city's array patterns.

"Puff!"

Blood splattered, and with a flash of cold light, Ye Fan's sword directly severed Wang Tianyu's large hand. Blood gushed forth, and the palm and fingers fell, shaking the mortal world.

"What?!" Everyone's eyes widened. This was too astonishing.

Wang Tianyu let out a muffled groan. As his palm was severed, a wave of killing intent spread from the wound. His entire arm shattered into bloody pulp. Covered in blood, he staggered back tens of thousands of feet.

This was truly shocking.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. No one had expected the situation to reverse so quickly; it was simply incredible.

Traces of Emperor's aura permeated the air, chilling everyone in the ancient city to the bone. Many collapsed to the ground, unable to resist.

As the killing sword emerged, the Great Sages' laws shattered. A scroll spat from the Silver Blood Ancient Sage's mouth instantly tore into four pieces. He spat blood and was sent flying horizontally.

"You..." Liu Mingde was greatly alarmed, his eyes filled with terror. He had thought of everything, except that Ye Fan possessed an Emperor's artifact. "So it was you who snatched an immortal sword!"

Unfortunately, there was no turning back now. He had been cautious enough, but he wasn't a worm in Ye Fan's stomach; he couldn't have known everything.

"No!" Liu Mingde screamed. Because after Ye Fan swung his sword, sending Wang Tianyu and the Silver Blood Great Sage flying, he directly unleashed a peerless immortal glow towards Liu Feng.

"Puff!"

This time, there was no suspense whatsoever. The newly ascended Great Sage Liu Feng's head fell to the ground; he was utterly insignificant before an Emperor's artifact!

Liu Mingde's vision went black, and he nearly fainted, for that was the Liu family's most promising hero, the hope of their entire clan.

Ye Fan, holding the blood-dripping immortal sword, roared, "As enforcers, you colluded with foreign races and harmed elite human trial-takers. Your sins are unforgivable. If this Human Ancient Road has lost its laws, then today, I shall come to uphold justice!"
