Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 554 - 549: I Am Also at the Peak of Martial King
Ye Feng left, leaving Bu Tianyun standing rigid, his face frozen in place, his mind still echoing with the words Ye Feng had just said.
"Bullying him is too unworthy," what did that mean?
Soon, Bu Tianyun's face filled with shades of embarrassment and annoyance. Ye Feng was insulting him; did that underlying message not imply that he wasn't a worthy opponent?
He was the pride of the Bu Family!
To be insulted like this was a disgrace of the highest order!
Bu Tianyun gritted his teeth in anger, watching Ye Feng's departing figure with hatred, yet he dared not say anything. He truly was no match for Ye Feng right now.
Had Ye Feng struck out at him again just now, he would have definitely been sent flying out of the arena and thus, disqualified, severing his ties with this Heavenly Origin Secret Realm event.
But Bu Tianyun was still furious. Ye Feng was insulting his character, his dignity.
"Wait for it, Ye Feng. I will definitely defeat you; I must defeat you. Sooner or later, you will be trampled under my feet, Bu Tianyun!!!" he roared inside.
Bu Tianyun's handsome face almost twisted in his rage. Since he was a child, he had been the pride of the Bu Family, with few equals among his peers, and also because he was of the Bu Family, no one dared to insult him like this.
Only Ye Feng!
Ye Feng couldn't care less about how Bu Tianyun felt. If it weren't for his concerns about that Second Hall Master, he would have already made his move. Yet, even without taking action, he had deliberately said those words to strike at Bu Tianyun-heart and mind. Even if he didn't eliminate him, the blow to his state of mind was certain.
Ye Feng returned to Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong. Chi Jark smiled and said, "Brother Ye truly lives up to the legend of the Northern Border King. With such prowess, even I, ranked sixth on the Genius List, feel inferior."
"Brother Chi, you jest."
Ye Feng smiled lightly, saying little. His strength on display was, at most, comparable to that of Chi Jark.
Xiao Rulong also wore a smile. Ye Feng's strength had far exceeded his expectations, and to make an acquaintance of such a person was most certainly a good thing.
Ye Feng glanced at the surrounding members of the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts and the Hong Family, and spoke coldly, "What is it? Do you all intend to gang up on me and take me down?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, even if so many of you join forces to defeat me, remember, this is an elimination match. Once you're out of the arena, you'll have no chance left," Ye Feng said with a scoff.
Golden Cicada furrowed his brows; he knew Ye Feng's words were a threat, but the strength Ye Feng had shown was indeed formidable.
If he himself engaged Ye Feng now and got knocked out of the arena, losing the qualification to enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm would be a loss too great to bear.
One must remember, the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm opens only once every fifty years and can only be entered by those under fifty years of age.

If one missed this chance, there would never be another opportunity, not to mention the Spirit Essence Pool in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, which was a stepping stone to the Golden Core Realm!
Golden Cicada's expression went through several changes, and in the end, he took the people from the Buddhist Sect and stepped back.
Seeing Golden Cicada retreat, the people from the other Eight Sects wore changing expressions but also held great apprehension towards Ye Feng. Concerned about being eliminated from the arena, the great sect members exchanged glances and silently withdrew as well.
Now, only Hong Gaishi and the members of the Hong Clan remained.
Ye Feng looked over, a playful smile on his face, "Oh, what's this? Does the Hong Family wish to have a go with me?"
"Hong Gaishi, shall we have a practice bout?"
Ye Feng's face wore a challenging look.
Hong Gaishi snorted coldly, "Ye Feng, consider yourself lucky. The score between you and our Hong Family will be settled sooner or later."
With that harsh statement, Hong Gaishi led the people of the Hong Clan away as well.
The surrounding area quieted down once again, and small-scale battles broke out on the arena once more. With nearly a hundred participants remaining, there was still a substantial gap to the final twenty-five. Those intent on staying would actively seek battle to eliminate the weaker competitors.
At that moment, six figures swiftly approached Ye Feng.
"Master!"
"Master!"
The six bowed in unison, their faces filled with excitement as they looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng also wore a smile as he looked at the six people before him - Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and their group. Initially, he hadn't wanted to reveal his identity so soon, but it couldn't be helped under the circumstances, and it didn't matter much now anyway.
```
"Everyone has made some progress, not bad at all."
Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction. He could tell that everyone's aura had grown stronger since they had left, though not by much, but it was still commendable.
Chi Jark looked at the six people in front of Ye Feng and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Good lord, five who are at Half-Step Golden Core—were Ye Feng's subordinates all this strong?
"Brother Ye is truly worthy of being the Northern Border King. I didn't expect even those by your side to be so powerful. I'm impressed, truly impressed!"
At this moment, Chi Jark laughed heartily.
Xiao Rulong was also somewhat shocked. The warlords under Ye Feng, the Northern Border King, were not few in number. These five individuals at the Half-Step Golden Core level all exuded a strong aura of slaughter, which wasn't something ordinary cultivators possessed.
Xiao Rulong hadn't expected this. Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and others had previously led troops in battle at the frontlines of the Northern Border. The aura of slaughter cultivated on the battlefield day after day wasn't something ordinary cultivators could have, not to mention the bloodlust that had become etched in their very bones. Because of these factors, in battle, Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian were stronger than others of the same level.
"Now is not the time for reunions. Soon, when there are fewer people, even we might need to start fighting."
Ye Feng glanced over the situation on the stage. Basically, it came down to members of the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts and those from the Four Great Ancient Clans left. Almost every power had three to four members left, and counting like this, almost fifty people still remained—they needed to eliminate half to reduce the number to twenty-five.
And time was running out.
There was virtually no more fighting on the stage at this point. People from all the great powers were watching each other, and no one was willing to initiate combat. The Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were almost a single entity; whoever acted first would likely face condemnation.
The situation was at a stalemate when suddenly, Hong Gaishi stepped forward to speak, "Everyone, this isn't getting us anywhere. I suggest those below Half-Step Golden Core step down, or we'll have no choice but to start a fight."
As he spoke, Hong Gaishi cast a casual glance over the crowd.
Upon hearing this, members from various powers became restless. There were still about twenty individuals at the Half-Step Golden Core level on the stage. However, just counting Chi Jark, Xiao Rulong, and Ye Feng's group, eight were already taken, and one more, Cao Tian, was at the Peak Martial King level.
Cao Tian's expression changed at that moment, as he fell below the Half-Step Golden Core level. Moreover, he was just at the Peak Martial King level. Even though his strength had improved, he was still a bit short of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm—was he really going to miss out on the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?
With Ye Feng's help, Cao Tian could directly step into the Foundation Establishment Realm and embark on the Golden Core Great Dao, so he was quite eager for this opportunity at the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
Then, Ye Feng's voice reached him, "Don't worry, with me here, you'll have a spot in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."
Cao Tian's face lit up with surprise, and when he looked over, he saw Ye Feng staring back with a calm expression, nodding at him.
"I thank you, my lord!"
Cao Tian instantly expressed his gratitude.
Ye Feng waved his hand casually, choosing not to elaborate further. Boss Cao had helped him so much in the past; naturally, he would take good care of his descendant. A spot in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was the least he could arrange. If these people were unwilling to yield, then they would simply have to fight for it.
If he were alone, perhaps it would have been difficult. However, he had Xiao Chuan and Sima Zhantian with him. Not counting Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong, their side had five strong Half-Step Golden Core fighters. As for himself, none of the Half-Step Golden Core individuals present should be his match—not even the likes of the talented Chi Jark and Golden Cicada.
"But there are only about twenty individuals at Half-Step Golden Core. What about the remaining five spots?"
An expert of the Half-Step Golden Core Realm from the Confucian Sect raised this question.
The rest from various powers also turned their attention to this matter. They had one or two either at the Foundation Establishment Realm or Divine Path Realm among them, and naturally, they did not wish to give up.
Hong Gaishi raised an eyebrow, glanced at a Foundation Establishment Realm member of the Hong Clan beside him, and then said, "It's simple. All those at the Divine Path Realm fight in a free-for-all. The last five standing will get those final spots."
The leaders of the major powers nodded one after another, including Golden Cicada from the Buddhist Sect, who also stepped forward: "This humble monk agrees with Benefactor Hong's proposal."
With Golden Cicada's agreement, the other Nine Great Sects also nodded in approval. The experts from the various powers below the Half-Step Golden Core Realm came forward and gathered in the center of the stage. Soon, all the experts from the Divine Path Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm were concentrated together.
"Wait a minute, Ye Feng, don't you also have someone who's at Peak Martial King level with you?"
Hong Gaishi looked towards Ye Feng with a mocking smile, knowing Cao Tian was brought by Ye Feng. He had been aware of this since their time on Earth. This suggestion was also, in fact, targeting Ye Feng.
Cao Tian's face darkened. As expected, the moment had come. If he really had to fight against those at the Foundation Establishment Realm and Divine Path Realm, he was sure to be eliminated, as he was indeed truly at the Peak Martial King level.
Hong Gaishi's words made everyone look towards Ye Feng, their eyes lingering on Cao Tian as they sensed his Peak Martial King aura.
Ye Feng responded indifferently, "That was your own suggestion. Did you see me agree to it?"
Hong Gaishi stiffened, realizing that Ye Feng had not actually agreed to anything from the start. Nevertheless, he still snorted coldly, "This is already agreed upon by everyone. The minority must follow the majority. What, do you want to be targeted by everyone here?"
However, Ye Feng merely scoffed, "Are you sure about going by what you said? In that case, I'll also have to fight since I'm at Peak Martial King level too, right?"
After saying this, Ye Feng released his Peak Martial King aura. He was not deceiving anyone—he was genuinely at the Peak Martial King level!
