Chapter 221 - One Against Three (I)
Just as Chen Yiming was bullying the weak and toying with Coristes,
the old man, who had been watching coldly from the side, narrowed his eyes.
“Enough. He admits defeat,” he said in a voice that brooked no argument.
His voice was mainly directed at the young man, but at the same time, it also spread out in all directions.
In contrast to Chen Yiming’s calm behavior, the old man’s voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed in everyone’s ears like it was the truth.
Even those who hoped that the young man would continue to torture the golden-haired monster inexplicably calmed down.
“Little brother, don’t be rash. Those people are from the Dawn Knights of the Never-ending Day Empire.”
Someone reminded him loudly, and many worried gazes landed on Chen Yiming.
The Dawn Knights were one of the 12 royal knight teams of the Never-ending Day Empire. They were a martial arts faction at the peak of the warrior realm. It was also because of this that they could attract the young geniuses of the Daxia Kingdom to travel to a distant country.
Of course, the citizens of Fanghua City did not want this young man to die before he could grow into an expert.
However, something unexpected happened.
Chen Yiming remained unmoved. He raised his leg and kicked his opponent’s knee twice.
“Crack! Crack!”
By the time Coristes realized something was wrong and tried to dodge it, all the strength had left his legs.
His knees had been crushed by the young man. Then, the young man released his grip and Coristes fell to the ground.
“Uh…”
At this moment, not only did the old man’s expression change drastically, but so did that of the surrounding onlookers, including Xie Weilin, who had been smiling just now.
The Dawn Knights were a faction on the same level as the large factions in Jiangnan province. Not only that, but they were also one of the 12 royal knight teams.
The relationship with the Never-ending Day empire was not something that the relationship between ordinary provincial factions and the Daxia Kingdom could be compared to.
If the young man’s ruthless actions caused a dispute at the national level, everyone thought that the young man would be the one to suffer.
“The royal knight teams are nothing much. After all, they’re just a small martial arts faction. They’re far inferior to the Myriad Phenomena Sect,” Chen Yiming said calmly.
With that, he turned to look at the disciple of the Flying Crane Sword School who had wanted to join another sect.
The young man’s face immediately turned red. He turned his head away and did not dare to meet his gaze, feeling ashamed.
Chen Yiming’s words had the same effect as revealing his identity. It also explained why he had stood up to attack Coristes.
They were all young people in their twenties. In the arena, Coristes had been easily defeated by a disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
If no one from the Dawn Knights could stand up against him in response, the momentum that they had gathered in Fanghua City would be destroyed.
“Gasp! At the moment, the Myriad Phenomena Sect is like the rising sun in Jiangnan province.
If the Dawn Knights go against them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to win.”
After the surrounding people found out about the young man’s identity, they immediately stopped worrying about him and started discussing among themselves.
In the early days, everyone hoped that a large sect in Jiangnan province would stand up for them. However, due to the fact that their sect masters were not in the sect, the large sects were unwilling to go against foreign factions at this time.
“This golden-haired monster can only bully the young people of our Fanghua City. Compared to the young people from big cities or large sects, he’s nothing much.”
Soon, some ear-piercing gossip spread, causing the expressions of the people from the Dawn Knights, including the old man, to turn ugly.
The old man frowned. He raised his palm and aimed it at Coristes. With a flick of his palm, he immediately pulled him back to the side of the Dawn Knights.
Then, he asked, “Young man from the Myriad Phenomena Sect, why are you so merciless?”
“You tricked the disciples of the martial arts school under the Myriad Phenomena Sect. What exactly do the Dawn Knights want?” Chen Yiming asked calmly.
The old man’s expression froze.
If the other party was from a small sect, he naturally did not need to bother with them.
However, the Myriad Phenomena Sect was also a faction at the peak of the warrior realm, and its scale was even greater than the Dawn Knights. The weight of their words was not ordinary.
Thinking of this, the old man looked at the middle-aged man beside him and said,
“Wood, you will represent the Dawn Knights next.”
The moment he finished speaking, the crowd exploded.
Even if the young man was a disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, he was still much younger than the middle-aged man from the Dawn Knights.
Regardless of whether it was his cultivation time or actual combat experience, they felt that the young man would suffer a huge loss if he faced an opponent that was twice his age.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and stomped heavily on the ground.
He was about 2.5 meters tall, and red lines quickly covered his entire body like tattoos. This caused his entire body to instantly become two sizes larger. He was now more than three meters tall.
Without using his internal force or deliberately using any strength, cracks began to appear on the ground of the arena.
“Still too weak,” Chen Yiming spoke bluntly.
He did not sense any internal force from the tattoos formed by red lines. Without a doubt, Wood was also a bloodline warrior.
Facing ordinary warriors, perhaps Wood’s bloodline ability could determine the outcome of the battle, but to Chen Yiming, there was no difference.
“Wood, help me cripple him.”
Coristes shouted as he resisted the pain in his knees.
His kneecaps were shattered. With such serious injuries, it was equivalent to crippling his martial arts path.
“Wood, don’t hold back.”
The old man also spoke.
His meaning was clear. The Dawn Knights would not show mercy because of their opponent’s status as a disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
The stage was set for a fierce battle, and the onlookers could not help but worry for the young man.
“Be careful. If you notice anything amiss, quickly jump off the stage.”
One of them shouted.
This had already exceeded the level of a normal arena battle. It was almost equivalent to a life-and-death battle, and the loser would suffer a terrible outcome.
Chen Yiming didn’t think much of it.
The onlookers, including the old man from the Dawn Knights, valued the advantage of cultivation time too much. Their horizons were limited to ordinary geniuses in a city.
To reach a certain level, for example, internal force fusion at the third stage of the warrior realm,
there was an extremely high requirement for a person’s spiritual strength. Most people at the second stage of the warrior realm could not even reach the minimum threshold.
On the other hand, he had already built the framework for the internal force fusion. It was only a matter of time before he broke through.
Among everyone present, only Xie Weilin had different thoughts.
She was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. She was worried that Chen Yiming would continue to deal heavy blows and even cripple the old man from the Dawn Knights.
This was not a joke. His achievements during this period of time were clear for all to see. Once the giant steel-spear spiders in the surrounding cities dared to show their faces, they would be chased down and killed by him.
Even the giant steel-spear spiders of the same level were no match for Chen Yiming. As for the old man on the stage, he was probably unable to fight back because of his old age.
However, no matter how worried Xie Weilin was, she didn’t dare to give Chen Yiming any instructions.
This was because there were three guardians in Fanghua City, and even among them, no one had the strength to talk back to him.
“Young man, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some talent.
Let me teach you today. Geniuses who haven’t grown up are nothing.”
Wood took a large step forward, creating a hole in the stage as he walked straight towards Chen Yiming.
This action immediately made the surrounding people feel despair.
Most people thought that the young man with his small body could only try to cope with the situation.
The space in the arena was limited. Wood slowly forced the young man into a corner with no space to dodge, not giving him any chance to escape.
“I’ll let you make the first move. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to make a move.”
Chen Yiming challenged him with his hands behind his back.
“A bluff!”
Wood did not believe him at all and snorted.
