Chapter 254: Chapter 255 Jiang Gong Presents a Gift

Whoosh!

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!

Everyone stared at Ye Wudao in shock.

"Lord Jiang has come to the Martial Department specifically for Ye Wudao?"

"With Lord Jiang backing him, who else could kill him?"

The Martial King nodded, without saying much.

Now that Lord Jiang had spoken his golden words, he had no reason to refuse!

As the saying goes, if you can’t do it for the monk, do it for the Buddha—let alone for Lord Jiang, who held sway over the court and was ranked among the six lords of Dragon Country.

Ye Wudao bowed his fists to Lord Jiang; "Thank you, Lord Jiang, for lending a hand!"

"When your father died, I was in seclusion. I learned of it too late, and the damage was beyond repair—it was my fault too..." Lord Jiang’s eyes showed a tinge of guilt.

Ye Wudao shook his head; "My father’s death is not your fault, Lord Jiang. There is no need for you to feel guilty."

"Young master, who would have thought that you knew Lord Jiang!"

"You should have told us earlier; we’ve been scared out of our wits!"

"Let’s go quickly!" Li Hu, Jin Gang, and the others were excited. Lord Jiang was a super backer. With Lord Jiang protecting him, there were probably few in Dragon Country who would dare to mess with Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao looked at the Martial King with a sharp gaze, and said, "Return the Beiwang Blade and the Beiwang Token to me!"

Hiss!

Ye Wudao’s words instantly enraged the Martial Department!

"You brat, it’s enough that you’ve picked up a stray life, yet you still covet the Beiwang Blade?"

"Do you really think you’re someone important?"

"Without Lord Jiang, you’re nothing!" the people from the Martial Department sneered.

The Martial King’s aura suddenly exploded with terrifying intensity; "You scion of Beiwang, I’ve already shown you great mercy by sparing your life! Dare you grow more audacious and bargain with me? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

The Martial King’s anger shook the heavens and the earth!

"Oh, the Martial King is so domineering! Unable to beat Beiwang, you bully a child with no father. How mighty and powerful!" The taunting value of the ghost doctor on the side shot through the roof instantly.

Lord Jiang laughed; "Martial King, the Beiwang Blade is useless to you! Why not give it to him? It would fulfill this child’s dream!"

Seeing Lord Jiang speak up, the Martial King did not agree as usual but coldly said; "This cruel child has murdered many elders of my Martial Department and now wants to take the Beiwang Blade. If the world knew, wouldn’t they laugh at me for being powerless?"

Lord Jiang fell silent, after all, he couldn’t let the Martial King lose face!

Even though he was incredibly influential, ranked among the six lords of Dragon Country!

But the Martial King also wielded an army of three hundred thousand, and he too was a lord with substantial power!

The Martial King looked sharply at Ye Wudao and said; "I give you two choices! One, relinquish the Beiwang Blade and leave Dragon Country forever, living incognito!"

"Two, I’ll give you the Beiwang Blade out of respect for Lord Jiang! However, you will be placed on the Martial Department’s kill list, until the day you are killed!" the Martial King declared assertively.

Hiss!

The entire place gasped!

The Martial Department’s kill list!

Even the ghost doctor couldn’t help frowning, hoping that Ye Wudao would choose the first option!

"Little Ye, perhaps you should choose the first option. Your life is what matters. When the wind rises, run away!" the ghost doctor suggested.

Ye Wudao said; "I choose the third option!"

"Oh? I only mentioned two options, where did the third one come from?" The Martial King was surprised.

"I will kill you!" declared Ye Wudao with supreme confidence.

Boom!

The entire place was shocked!

All mouths agape, everyone was stunned!

"Damn, has this kid gone mad?"

"He—he actually said he’s going to kill the Martial King?"

"Haha, this is definitely the funniest joke I’ve heard in my life!"

Even Li Hu and the former members of Beiwang, hearing Ye Wudao’s words, couldn’t help but tremble.

Damn!

Young Master Ye!

Quit while you’re ahead, that’ll do!

Don’t blow such preposterous bullshit!

"Hahaha!" The Martial King laughed heartily; "You want to kill me? You don’t even have a one percent chance, but, this is indeed an amusing answer!"

With that, he swung his large hand.

Whoosh!

A battle blade tore through the air and struck with lightning speed at Ye Wudao’s feet.

"I give you three years to grow, wait until then to come and kill me!" the Martial King laughed and asked the standing Jiang Gong, "Jiang Gong, you think that’s enough time, don’t you?"

"Mm, three years is ample," Jiang Gong nodded.

"No need, in three months, I will take your dog life!" Ye Wudao said, grabbing the Beiwang Blade from the ground with one hand, then turned around and left with flair.

Boom!

Three months!

Everyone was as if struck by lightning, then burst into raucous laughter.

"Hahaha, this kid must have lost his mind!"

"Did he just say he’ll kill the Martial King within three months?"

"This is making me die of laughter, just like my three-year-old son saying he wants to kill his dad!"

Jiang Gong watched Ye Wudao’s retreating figure, standing with his hands behind him, a smile touching his lips; "Hehe, interesting, more arrogant than Beiwang in his youth! Dragon Country hasn’t had such an amusing youngster in a long time!"

"Old Li, what should we do now?"

"Are we really going to go crazy with Young Master Ye?"

Li Hu gritted his teeth and said, "We are in the same boat as Young Master Ye, instead of doubting, let’s believe he can create a miracle!"

Watching Ye Wudao’s receding back, Li Hu shouted, "Young Master Ye, wait for us!"

"The Martial King, and people like Li Hu?" He Shan, the General and others inquired.

"Expel Li Hu, Jin Gang and the other thirteen from the military department, and if seen again in the future, kill without mercy," the Martial King said indifferently.

"Yes!" He Shan, the General and others revealed a sinister smile; "Hehe, the next time we meet will be your end!"

Outside.

"Young Master Ye, do you really plan to kill the Martial King within three months?" Li Hu and the others caught up with Ye Wudao, asking with faces full of shock.

"Indeed," Ye Wudao nodded, "Three months’ time is ample."

"Damn, Young Master, the Martial King isn’t just any tom, dick, or harry, a peak sovereign powerhouse who commands an army of three hundred thousand. How are you going to kill him?"

"Ambush, poison? Ah, I’m racking my brain and I can’t think of a way!" Everyone was scratching their heads, looking anxious.

"Hehe, no need. I’ll kill him fair and square," Ye Wudao said with piercing eyes.

"Young Ye, hold on!" A familiar voice came from afar, it was the Ghost Doctor.

Ye Wudao stopped, saying to Li Hu and the others, "Wait for me here."

"Yes, Young Master Ye!" Li Hu and the others nodded.

The Ghost Doctor approached and asked, "Do you really intend to kill the Martial King within three months?"

"Even if I don’t kill him, he will kill me!" answered Ye Wudao.

"Yes, this time you were lucky Jiang Gong appeared, otherwise, it would’ve been tough for you to survive!" said the Ghost Doctor.

"I cannot rely on Jiang Gong forever; if one wants to secure a place in the world, they must rely on themselves!" replied Ye Wudao with a determined look in his eyes.

"Heh heh, well said!" The Ghost Doctor grinned, "Then may I ask, Young Master Ye, what’s your next step?"

"First, to restore my state to its peak period, then make further plans," Ye Wudao stated.

"Mm, when you recover to half-step sovereign, at least you’ll survive the Martial King’s first strike," said the Ghost Doctor.

"You!"

Ye Wudao glared at the Ghost Doctor, "Am I that weak?"

"Hehe, it’s not about your weakness, but the Martial King’s strength; he has long stepped into the peak sovereign realm," the Ghost Doctor, who normally was irreverent, showed a rare seriousness.

Ye Wudao did not retort.

The Martial King had been famous for decades, commanding the martial forces, no one dared provoke him!

Toppling him would be like uprooting a towering giant tree!

"Young Master Ye!"

At that moment, a weathered voice called out.

Ye Wudao turned his head and saw Jiang Gong approaching, wearing a straw hat, once again adopting the image of an old farmer.

No one could connect him with one of the Six Lords of Dragon Country who wielded immense power.

"Jiang Gong, what are your orders?" asked Ye Wudao.

Jiang Gong took out a purple sandalwood treasure box from his person and tossed it to Ye Wudao, "Can’t come empty-handed on our first meeting, you should need this!"

Ye Wudao opened the box and saw two flower blooms inside, one resembling a qilin, the other like a jiao dragon!

His pupils dilated sharply, and he froze; "This, this is the Qilin Flower and Jiao Dragon Flower from the Four Precious Flowers!"
