Chapter 381: Chapter 382: Punishing the Scoundrel

No!

Impossible!

Fang Wu initially couldn’t believe it, but as he looked at the admiring eyes of his comrades beside him towards Ye Wudao, it was definitely not fake!

This was real!

Hiss!

Fang Wu sharply inhaled a breath of cold air!

In his entire life, he had never seen such a terrifying one-man show!

This was just too crazy!

"Commander Ye, are you alright?" Fang Wu asked in a low voice when he saw Ye Wudao remaining silent.

Ye Wudao, who was sitting in a daze, nodded, his eyes filled with guilt, "I’m sorry, I failed to protect hundreds of our brothers!"

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Fang Wu hurriedly comforted him, "Commander Ye, please don’t blame yourself, you’ve done perfectly!"

"Yes, Commander Ye, by yourself you slew thirty thousand enemies, such an unearthly achievement, let alone the Xuanwu Legion, even the entire Northern Liang would find it dazzling!"

"The brothers below would definitely rest with smiles in the netherworld!" the remaining warriors comforted Ye Wudao in succession.

Ye Wudao nodded and said, "Hmm, bring back the bodies of the fallen brothers!"

...

Defense Area No. 14.

Inside the war room.

Wei Long was lying lazily on the chair, legs propped up on the table, in a completely relaxed posture.

Just then, a subordinate rushed in, panicked; "General Wei!"

"Humph, what’s the panic?" Wei Long said displeasedly.

"Commander Ye from the front line, he’s back..." the subordinate replied.

What?

Wei Long was taken aback, then sneered, "How many men did that kid bring back?"

"Not many, less than fifty!"

"Hahaha, only fifty, that’s laughable indeed!"

Upon hearing this news, Wei Long was invigorated as if he had received a shot of adrenaline, "This naive brat must have come back defeated! Pass my order, gather everyone, I want to humiliate him in front of them all, let him know who calls the shots in Defense Area No. 14!"

"Yes!"

Inside the defense area.

More than two thousand warriors gathered together, looking at Ye Wudao and his group approaching in the distance, with everyone carrying the bodies of their comrades, they all started to whisper among themselves.

"Are they here to welcome us?" asked a wounded warrior.

"Welcome? Hmph, knowing Wei Long’s petty nature, it’s clear he wants to humiliate Commander Ye!" Fang Wu said with disgust, then sneered, "Too bad, he’s hit the nail on the head this time!"

Just then, Wei Long approached, his face full of arrogance as he looked at Ye Wudao, "Hey, Ye with the yellow hair, why did you bring back only so few people? Did you go to fight a war or to carry back bodies?"

"Of course, he went to move bodies!"

"Probably didn’t even encounter the main force of the Porolo Kingdom before being scared shitless and fleeing back here!" Several of Wei Long’s confidants mocked with sharp sarcasm.

"Hahaha!" Wei Long laughed heartily, his laughter filled with mockery.

"Shut up!" Fang Wu shouted angrily, his eyes aflame with rage, "Wei Long, Commander Ye has returned from a great victory, is this how you welcome us?"

"Great victory?" Wei Long said with a mocking face, "Then you tell me, where did you win? Don’t tell me it’s just carrying back a few hundred corpses? If that’s considered victory, then that’s a huge triumph indeed, hahaha!"

Wei Long’s words provoked a roar of laughter from the crowd!

"You beast!" Fang Wu roared in anger, veins bulging in his neck, all the wounded warriors who had returned from the front line glared at Wei Long with bloodshot eyes.

"Kneel down for me!" Ye Wudao brandished his sword and rebuked Wei Long.

"Kneel? Why should I kneel to a commander of a defeated army?" Wei Long said with a sneer.

Ye Wudao, his hand gripping the Beiwang Blade, swung it fiercely.

Swish!

A flash of the blade shot out, striking Wei Long’s foot forcefully.

"Ah!" With a cry of agony, Wei Long’s knee was chopped off, and his body suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Ye, Ye you little beast! You hate me for your defeat and dare to strike me?" Wei Long’s face twisted with bitterness, "You’re finished, attacking your comrade-in-arms is a capital offense, no one can save you!!"

"Kneel down for me!" Ye Wudao shouted angrily again as he swung the sword.

Swish!

The other foot of Wei Long was also chopped off, and with both feet disabled, he thumped onto his knees on the ground.

"What are you, that you think I’m dissatisfied with you?" Ye Wudao said furiously, "I made you kneel, in fact, it was for the brothers who died gloriously on the front lines!"

"Ye, you still act so arrogant after being defeated? Do you really take the Commander’s Seal in my hand for a toy?" Wei Long raged, pulling out the Commander’s Seal and shouting, "Everyone kill him!"

Looking at the Commander’s Seal in Wei Long’s hand, two thousand soldiers surrounded Ye Wudao.

"Defeated?" Fang Wu sneered, "Do you know that Commander Ye alone slew thirty thousand enemies on the front line?"

Boom!

The entire place was shocked!

"Impossible, right?"

"One person killing 30,000 enemies? Are you joking?" the warriors questioned one after another.

Kneeling on the ground, Wei Long laughed mockingly, "That’s hilarious! Fang Wu, can’t you make up a more believable story? Do you even understand what 30,000 people mean?"

"We saw it with our own eyes!" Fang Wu said.

"I can prove it!"

"I can prove it too!" dozens of warriors returning from the front line stated with conviction.

Hearing this, many of the warriors looked at Ye Wudao with awe.

Wei Long scoffed, "What kind of evidence do you have?"

Fang Wu took out a black wrap from his body and threw it mercilessly in front of Wei Long.

"You fought alongside the now-sacrificed Commander Tang at the front line; you should recognize who this is, right?"

Wei Long opened the black wrap with his hand, and upon seeing the bloody head inside, his pupils shrank and his mouth gaped open, "My God, this is the head of the seventh prince of the Poluo Kingdom!"

The whole place fell silent!

From somewhere, a scream shattered the silence!

"Holy shit, did Commander Ye really kill the seventh prince of the Poluo Kingdom?"

"It’s said that the seventh prince of the Poluo Kingdom had an army of 30,000!"

"The story of Commander Ye breaking through an army of 30,000 by himself... it might be true!" All the warriors exclaimed in shock.

No!

No!

Wei Long shook his head frantically, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it must be a setup, I don’t believe it!"

"You don’t believe it?" Fang Wu mocked, "Then why don’t you send someone to check the battlefield now?"

"Right, right!" Wei Long had an epiphany, pointing to a few of his trusted followers, "You guys, go check the battlefield for me!"

"Yes!"

Several of Wei Long’s confidants hurried off to the battlefield.

"Ye Wu and Fang Wu, if you dare to deceive me, no one will live!" Wei Long threatened with a ferocious face.

"What ranking are you to be worth lying to?" Ye Wudao replied contemptuously.

After half an hour.

A sharp-eyed warrior pointed ahead, "Look, the General’s men are back!"

Wei Long looked at his confidants returning and quickly asked, "What’s the situation on the frontline?"

"Thump!"

All the confidants knelt before Ye Wudao, knocking their heads on the ground while slapping themselves, "We’re not human, we’re beasts, we actually doubted Commander Ye!"

Everyone was stunned!

With a look of horror, Wei Long demanded, "What are you doing? What exactly is the situation on the front line?"

With faces filled with fear, the confidants said, "There are corpses everywhere on the front line, tens of thousands of Poluo nationals..."

"The news of Commander Ye killing 30,000 enemies by himself is true!"

Boom!

Wei Long felt as if struck by lightning, his face streaming with cold sweat as his heart throbbed violently, as though it might burst.

The 2,000 warriors from Defense Area 14 knelt down to Ye Wudao, "Commander Ye, we were wrong to doubt you!"

Ye Wudao shook his head, "Ignorance isn’t a sin; I don’t blame you!" After pausing, his gaze turned icy as he looked at Wei Long, "If there’s anyone to blame, blame this wretch!"

"Commander Ye, please spare my life! My sins are unforgivable!" Wei Long buried his head into the ground, trembling all over, his fear of Ye Wudao reaching an extreme.

Ye Wudao raised his Beiwang Blade, his lips barely parting as if a king pronouncing judgment, "You held the Commander’s Seal yet disregarded the life and death of your comrades at the front, committing treachery and inversion of right and wrong--your sins cannot be atoned for even by death!"

"Kill!" Fang Wu shouted.

"Kill!" Dozens of warriors who had returned from the front glared angrily at Wei Long.

"Kill!" All 2,000 warriors in the venue shouted in unison.

"No, please no!" Wei Long’s heart was panic-stricken, as if the sky were crashing down.

"Die!" Ye Wudao swung the Beiwang Blade, carrying out the judgment.

Just as the fatal blow was about to be dealt, an angry voice interrupted, "Who dares to touch my man?"

Everyone turned their heads toward the front.

They saw a group led by a tall, robust man with an imposing presence walking toward them, striding arrogantly as the head of an inspection team.

"Fuck, it’s the Xuanwu Army’s inspection team!"

"Hiss, even Deputy Commander Zhou is here!" Many people were shocked.

Wei Long, who had thought he was a dead man, looked up at Deputy Commander Zhou leading the inspection team, his face alight with madness, "Deputy Commander Zhou, save me!"

"Hmph, don’t worry, under my watch, no one dares to touch you!" Deputy Commander Zhou said arrogantly.

Revived from the brink of death and emboldened by strong backing, Wei Long looked at Ye Wudao with brazen arrogance, boasting, "Hmph, kid, my backer is Deputy Commander Zhou; try touching me!"

Before his words ended, Ye Wudao’s blade fell swiftly!

"Crack!" A crisp sound echoed as blood sprayed, and a bloody head abruptly landed at Deputy Commander Zhou’s feet.

Ye Wudao, holding the Beiwang Blade, said indifferently, "Even if your backer were the Jade Emperor himself, I would not hesitate to strike!"
