C18 Who broke off the Engagement?

chapter 18. Who wants to break off the engagement?

"Ye Feng! It's you!"

Nangong Chen's expression was gloomy. He had never expected that the young man who had shocked everyone in the test, awakened the Divine Dragon Battle Spirit, and defeated his daughter, Nangong Lingshuang, was Ye Feng. He was fostered in the Nangong family, and he knew that his cultivation speed was slow.

"It's me."

Ye Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Nangong Chen, you are a Senior Master, yet you actually attacked me. Your actions are so despicable. You call yourself the head of the family?"

Ye Feng purposedly shouted so that everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Ye Feng, the descendant of the Ye Family. The Nangong family fostered him and was once engaged to Nangong Lingshuang. I don't know why he's here, but it seems like he and the Nangong family are hostile with each other,"

Someone said in a loud voice, revealing Ye Feng's identity to everyone.

"Ye Feng? Isn't he that trashy cultivator? What happened between him and the Nangong family?"

Ye Feng's identity caused everyone to be curious. Many questions arose in the hearts of the crowd.

"What's going on? Why is he still alive? And why is he suddenly so strong?"

At the edge of the battle platform, Zhou Mubai stared at Ye Feng in disbelief. His pupils constricted, and he was breathing heavily.

Wang Loong's delayed arrival suddenly popped into his mind. Zhou Mubai felt a chill in his heart., and an ominous feeling welled up in his heart.

'Ye Feng...'

Song Xinling's beautiful eyes sparkled. She could clearly see Ye Feng's face on the fighting stage.

No wonder she had never seen Ye Feng. It turned out that he was using a mask to hide his face.

'Ye Feng is so powerful. Even Senior Brother is no match for him in the same realm,'

Song Xinling thought to herself. She had seen Ye Feng's strength before in the Emerald Mountain Range when Ye Feng had subdued Lee Fei, who was at the Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage, with just one stroke. However, Song Xinling did not expect Ye Feng to be so powerful that he could fight with her Senior Brother and Nangong Lingshuang.

'But why is Ye Feng targeting Senior Brother?'

Song Xinling bit her red lips. She spent more than ten days in Emerald Mountain Range with Ye Feng and had built a good friendship with him. When she saw Ye Feng and Senior Brother on the fighting stage, she felt a strange, heavy feeling in her heart.

On the fighting stage, Ye Feng's sharp eyes fell on Nangong Lingshuang.

"And you, Nangong Lingshuang. I sacrificed the Intrinsic Spiritual Essence to help you awaken the Phoenix battle spirit and make you a genius of Zhao State. However, you and your family betrayed me. You tried to use my life to please the Chen family. How could such a filthy family live in the land of the Zhao State? What a pity!"

Ye Feng's voice was filled with endless ridicule. The crowd instantly understood the whole situation and started discussing amongst themselves.

They were all criticizing the Nangong family and the Chen family for their shameless behavior.

"Nonsense!"

Nangong Chen snarled. His face tensed as he stared at Ye Feng and said, "You tried to steal the secrets of the Nangong family. You also kidnapped my daughter and plotted against her. You dare to ask me, Nangong Chen, to spare your life that day? Now, you are slandering Nangong family. Tell me, how should I deal with you?"

As he spoke, Nangong Chen slowly approached him, step by step. The aura on his body bloomed and seemed to hover over Ye Feng.

"Ridiculous!"

Ye Feng sneered fearlessly. He continued, "I was engaged with your daughter, Nangong Lingshuang. I helped her awaken the Battle Spirit, but your family never showed any gratitude towards me. They even listened to Chen Aotian's instructions to kill me. If I wasn't smart enough to kidnap Nangong Lingyu that time, I might have been dead by now!"

Ye Feng's eyes were burning in anger as he stared at Nangong Chen. His words struck the ears of the crowd, causing an uproar. Strange expressions were engraved on their faces as they looked at Nangong Chen and Chen Aotian.

Chen Aotian had a horrible look on his face. It was too much of a sensitive matter to expose in front of the crowd. His eyes were filled with ice-cold killing intent as he turned them towards Ye Feng.

Aside from the anger he felt, Chen Aotian was also bewildered.

Chen Aotian had only met Ye Feng once when he was still in the Nangong family. Back then, Ye Feng was only in the Second Layer of Body Refining Stage, and he was as weak as an ant. Chen Aotian didn't even care to notice him.

He ordered Nangong Chen to kill him. However, he saw that not only was Ye Feng alive, but he had also appeared on the fighting stage. Ye Feng had humiliated the people of the Chen family in every way possible and even crushed his fiancee, Nangong Lingshuang. He didn't look like a waste of cultivation anymore.

"Today, I came to participate in the Tianxuan Mansion assessment. It's not like you, Nangong Chen, have the right to do whatever you want! Don't you think too highly of yourself?"

Ye Feng's words were incomparably sharp. Nangong Chen was stunned.

Ye Feng's strength was even more impressive than Nangong Lingshuang's. He had walked on over her and had even crossed realms. All the elders from the Four Halls had witnessed this, and they had their eyes on him as their target.

Under such circumstances, Nangong Chen couldn't lay a hand on Ye Feng!

"You ungrateful father and daughter are treacherous. I'm ashamed of your behavior, but I feel much more disgusted by the fact that I am engaged to someone from the Nangong family."

Ye Feng's eyes were sharp as he spoke in a clear disdainful voice.

"Then there's the Chen family," Ye Feng glanced at the Chen family in the stands. "One of the four major families in the Imperial city, but does shady business in private. Did you know Nangong Chen had ordered someone to kill me because I was engaged to Nangong Lingshuang? Despicable. They treated Nangong Lingshuang as if she were a priceless treasure. Such a stupid family to be a part of the four major families of the imperial city. How unfortunate!"

Ye Feng didn't look away from the Chen family as words came out of his mouth. His voice was clear and full of disgust that the people of the Chen family could only glare at him.

They couldn't believe that Ye Feng had the guts to humiliate the Chen family in front of so many people.

As he spoke, a paper appeared in his hand. The words on it were clearly visible. It was the marriage contract that Ye Family and Nangong family had written for Ye Feng and Nangong Lingshuang.

As Ye Feng held the paper in his hand, he injected elemental energy into his palm. Flames rose from his palm, and the marriage contract turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind.

"Nangong Lingshuang, someone like you is not worthy of being engaged with me!"

His words lingered above the Martial Arts Practice Field as they echoed in Nangong Lingshuang's ears.

Nangong Lingshuang looked at Ye Feng and felt as if someone had fiercely slapped her. Her face felt hot and incomparably painful.

Ye Feng had officially canceled their engagement in front of the people of the Imperial city. Not only did the Nangong family faced great humiliation, but it was also a slap towards the Chen family.

Nangong Lingshuang was a proud daughter that seemed to come from the Heavens and the future daughter-in-law of the Chen family. Ye Feng breaking their engagement in front of all the major powers in the Imperial City had undoubtedly caused the reputation of the Nangong family and the Chen family to be tarnished.

Nangong Lingshuang's expression darkened. What else could be more humiliating than breaking off the engagement in front of everyone?

"How dare you! You are so arrogant!"

A cold voice from the stands suddenly protested. The crowd looked over and saw someone from the Chen family's camp, an Elder, flew and landed on the fighting stage.

It was the same person who went to the Nangong family with Chen Aotian to discuss marriage.

"You have openly slandered the Chen family. Regardless of whether you participated in the exam or not, you will die today!"

The elder's voice was domineering, representing the attitude of the Chen family. It was as if he didn't care if he was in the Tianxuan Mansion. Whether Ye Feng came to participate in the examination or not, he had to suffer in his hands today.

As he spoke, the power on the elder's body bloomed. He wanted to attack Ye Feng there and then.

"Don't you dare!"

Yue Gu interrupted. He suddenly stood up, struck out his finger, and blocked the elder's path using the Light of Destruction.

He then soared into the sky and flew towards the fighting stage.

"Yue Gu, don't you dare interfere in this matter!"

Chen Xiangtian's eyes were cold as he blocked his way. No one could stop the Chen family if they wanted to kill someone.

The faces of Elders of the Chen family broke into a cold smile as they watched the situation. Chen Xiangtian had the right to speak in the Tian Ji Hall. If the Chen family killed someone in the hall, the Tianxuan Mansion might not even go after them.

The elder thought about the matter and smirked to himself as he approached Ye Feng step by step. Then he threw out a frenzied palm power.

Ye Feng's expression was cold. The Dragon Guts Silver Spear in his hand suddenly released a terrifying gun power. The Divine Dragon Battle Spirit roared furiously.

Whether he advanced or retreat, he was most likely to die. He might as well give it his all!

A terrifying explosive sound rang out. Ye Feng's spear light collided with the palm power that the Elder of the Chen family had thrown out.

Like the divine dragon, the spear light roared furiously. It was a stunning attack since the spear strike contained all of Ye Feng's strength.

However, the gap between their cultivation realms was huge. The palm power was able to swallow Ye Feng's powerful attack. As he stepped back, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"A Body Refining Stage dares to fight me? You're courting death!"

The Elder of the Chen family said coldly. With a flash, he lunged towards Ye Feng.

Before they could continue, the ground below the fighting stage suddenly trembled slightly. The sound was getting stronger and stronger, accompanied by the sound of countless iron hooves, as if thousands of soldiers were surrounding the fighting stage.

The strange sound attracted the attention of the crowd. Their eyes twinkled with anticipation.

Smoke and dust were everywhere around the Martial Arts Practice Field. Silhouettes from countless figures riding their horses were everywhere.

"Die!"

The Elder had a wild expression on his face. He didn't seem to mind the approaching iron hooves and was determined to kill Ye Feng. The destructive power in his palm was incomparably powerful. He wanted to kill Ye Feng completely.

"You dare?!"

Yue Gu was horrified to see the dangerous situation. The Elder's strength was not something Ye Feng could fight against. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't help Ye Feng since Chen Xiangtan was holding him back.

The Elder of the Chen family unleashed a destructive power from his palm and instantly wrapped Ye Feng's body. Ye Feng could feel his body was getting stiffer and stiffer under the pressure of the destructive power, and he couldn't fight back at all.

From the sound of it, the iron hooves seemed to be getting closer. The crowd could barely make out who were riding the horses as the sound seemed to grow stronger.
