Chapter 939: Ten thousand men pass out!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
At the top of the hill!
A lone person stood at the pathway leading downhill!
The people from the large sects had rushed over and were closing in!
"Charge!"
"Capture Rao Aimin!"
"Revenge for Grandmaster Zhou!"
The pounding of numerous feet and deafening shouts could be heard clearly!
Zhang Ye had blocked off the only pathway leading down the hill. Without any more worries, he started smiling. The injuries he'd sustained during the battle with Chen Xi were getting more and more serious and he could his vital organs throbbing with pain. He coughed as though the more than a hundred people across from him did not exist. Then he adjusted the button on his collar before leisurely lowering his head to tighten his shoelaces. He picked up a long forked branch that was at hand and had fallen from a tree. Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Zhang Ye straightened up before drawing a line in front of him with the forked branch. The branch scratched against the ground, making squeaking noises.
The people from the large sects were stunned.
What the hell?
What was he doing?
One meter…
Three meters…
Five meters…
Before long, Zhang Ye had marked a five-meter line in front of him.
Zhang Ye dusted off his dirty hands and threw aside the forked branch. He looked up at the dense crowd of large sect members and declared coldly, "Whomsoever crosses the line shall die!"
He said so in an extremely firm tone!
There was no hesitation in it!
Whomsoever crosses the line—dies!
A single declaration from him scared the mob of over a hundred people standing across him into shock!
Everyone who was about to break through where Zhang Ye was standing guard, suddenly stopped in their tracks in fear when they heard those words. No one knew why they had stopped because they did so instinctively. They were all stunned by the resolute tone of Zhang Ye's voice!
The Huashan Sect's Fan Wen said somberly, "Get out of the way!"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "And what if I don't?"
The Kongtong Sect deputy leader was holding a weapon and staring at him. "Do you think that you can stop a hundred of us by yourself?"
"Feel free to try me," Zhang Ye said calmly.
An elder disciple of the Iron Palm Sect said fiercely, "Rao Aimin has enraged the masses and made an enemy of our martial arts world. Since it has come to this, why are you still trying to be a hero? How many people can you stop with just you alone? Ten? Twenty? Or thirty? Not to mention, you're seriously injured. But even if you weren't, you couldn't stop us! Even if Rao Aimin were standing here unaffected by injuries, she couldn't stop all of us! Do you really think that you're superhuman!"
"Right!"
"He's injured!"
"He already at his limit!"
"Everyone, don't be afraid!"
"Let's attack together! There's no way he can stop us!"
"Don't be afraid of him! We have a ton of people on our side!"
"He can't fight anymore! Grandmaster Chen seriously injured him!"
"He's at the end of his rope!"
With some interested parties shouting, everyone's morale rose once again. Right, Grandmaster Chen and Zhang Ye were both injured in the deathmatch earlier, but Zhang Ye was clearly the more severely injured one since he came under quite a lot of attacks from Grandmaster Chen. How could he possibly hold out any further?
Just when everyone was intending to pile forward!
Zhang Ye's next words shook everyone's morale again!
Zhang Ye started to laugh. "Do you really think that I can't fight when I'm injured? Alright then." His toe rubbed the ground where the line had been drawn. "Let's see any of you try to cross this line."
Quite a lot of the large sects' disciples looked at one another.
The Iron Palm's Master Sun also had some hesitation as he sized Zhang Ye up, as though trying to make out how seriously injured he was and how much more he could handle!
Zhang Ye challenged, "Come over!"
The other side was silent!
Zhang Ye shouted again, "Hurry up!"
The other side remained silent!
The more he said that, the more the large sects could not tell what he was up to and turned hesitant instead. That sentence "Whomsoever crosses the line shall die!" was like a sword hanging over their heads. No one had the courage to be the first to try! After all, the opponent was a martial arts master who was even the successor to the Taiji Fist! He was at the pinnacle now that Grandmaster Zhou had been stripped off his skills, Grandmaster Chen was unconscious, and Rao Aimin being severely injured. Nobody present at the National Martial Arts Conference was a match for him!
Master Sun asked, "Old Fan, how many attacks can you take him for?"
"…I don't know," Fan Wen said with a dark expression.
The Kunlun Sect's leader said, "What are our chances if some of us teamed up together?"
Eldest Bro Zhou of the Zhou Family Style School said, "We'd have to see how determined he is! If Zhang Ye really wants to fight with all his might and defend the pathway that goes downhill so that Rao Aimin and the others can have a chance to get away, then…people will definitely die today! And it will not be just a few! There might be…a lot of people dying!"
A lot people will die?
These words silenced many of the large sects' leaders and heads!
Fourth Bro Zhou said anxiously, "But he's already seriously injured!"
"What if his injuries are not that serious?" a Shaolin monk brought up.
An old man from the Qingcheng Sect asked, "So what are we going to do?"
"Hurry up and decide, Sect Leader!" South Wudang's deputy leader also spoke up. "Rao Aimin and the others are getting away! If we don't give chase now, it will be too late!"
"Yes, we must definitely chase them!"
"Let's all attack together! We can just pile up on him and crush him to death!"
But right at this moment, Zhang Ye spoke again. "None of you are going to attack, right? Alright then, I'll attack first!" As soon as he finished, he took a large stride forward.
Everyone was startled and took a step backward in unison!
What?
You even want to make the first move?
C-Can you really still fight?
Zhang Ye walked over slowly and said coldly, "The feud that Old Rao had with Zhou Tianpeng is settled, but not mine. I still intend to settle the score for what happened today. First off, who threw those two darts into the fight ring? Own up now, or do you want me to seek you out? Second, the deathmatch has already ended. I have always thought that the martial arts community would have martial righteousness, but all of you have widened my horizons today and allowed me to clearly see just what kind of people you all are. Those who know me will know that I've always been a vengeful guy! You think that I will just let the matter rest like that? You're even playing dirty with me?" He suddenly shouted in anger, "Motherfuckers! Then I'll fucking play with you guys today!"
"Charge!"
"What's he to be afraid of!"
"He's only one person! Just one person!!"
"Kill him!"
Someone in the crowd led the clamoring!
The Kunlun Sect's leader was also enraged by Zhang Ye. "You really think that we're afraid of you? We'll attack then! I would like to see just how many of us you can stop!"
Zhang Ye looked at the Kunlun Sect's leader and laughed. "Then I'll let you find out. If any one of you can make it downhill and still stay standing, I'll take your surname!"
What?
No one can reach the bottom of the hill and still stay standing?
Those words were really fucking domineering!
The small sects and non-affiliates who were standing far away suddenly felt their blood coursing with excitement!
Liu Yiquan clenched his fist and said, "Zhang Ye is going all-out!"
He Badao said in astonishment, "H-He must already be prepared to not make it down to the bottom of the hill alive!"
Liu Yizhang's eyes reddened. "He was prepared to not go back alive the moment he chose to stay behind! To save Rao Aimin and the people of the Eight Trigrams School, he prepared to go all-out!"
A female non-affiliate said anxiously, "Teacher Zhang!"
Li Quanneng roared, "What sort of righteous sects are they? They're just a bunch of low-class thugs! Teacher Zhang is the real man! He's the fucking hero of my heart!"
The large sects surged forward, but many of the disciples were still looking rather unwilling to do so. Seeing Zhang Ye's insane behavior, they felt intimidated!
Zhang Ye showed no fear and gave a cold smile. "There will definitely be casualties today. Since this is the final battle, I'll need to take a bathroom break. You people can understand that, right?"
He can still joke around at this time?
Seeing this, the small sects and non-affiliates were even more impressed!
This is what you call a real hero!
This is what you call a heroic man!
The people from the large sects did not say a word.
Zhang Ye did not wait for their reply and headed straight for the unsophisticated bathroom not too far away. He went inside while whistling a tune.
The Huashan Sect's Fan Wen said, "Split the party in half and have them pursue Rao Aimin!"
But at this moment, Zhang Ye's voice came from the bathroom. "Whomsoever crosses the line—dies!"
A big group of the large sects' disciples were about to rush down the hill, but retraced their steps in a daze. Even though Zhang Ye was in the bathroom at this moment, they still couldn't help feeling terrified. They were afraid that if they had really crossed the line, they would be killed straight away! Perhaps this was would one would call having an imposing aura!
Eldest Bro Zhou of the Zhou Family Style School looked at his frightened juniors. "Good-for-nothings!"
Master Sun said a bit guiltily, "From the looks of it, Zhang Ye should still have a backup plan! He might hidden some his strength earlier. If we split up and a group of us head downhill first, we might not be able to deal with him!"
"What could he be planning?"
"I don't know!"
"How can he be so confident taking us on. Is he thinking of perishing together with all of us?"
"Could it be that he has already reached grandmaster level?"
"Impossible!"
"Even if he is a grandmaster, he can't stop this many of us!"
10 seconds…
20 seconds…
In the blink of an eye, 30 seconds had passed.
Zhang Ye still did not come out from the bathroom.
Second Bro Zhou asked in puzzlement, "What's going on?"
Master Sun called out, "Zhang Ye!"
The Kunlun Sect's leader said, "Are you done yet?"
No one answered.
"Why isn't there any response?"
"Where is he?"
"Say something!"
"Are you not ready yet?"
They shouted two more times. Still, no one answered. Everyone was simultaneously surprised and bewildered. Immediately, Eldest Bro Zhou of the Zhou Family Style School gathered a number of martial artists and charged into the bathroom together. When they got inside, everyone was stunned!
There was no one inside!
Not a trace of a person!
Zhang Ye had disappeared into thin air!
"Holy shit!"
"Where is he?"
"How did he disappear?"
"Is he in the cubicle?"
"No one is in the cubicle either!"
"What about the death battle?"
"What about not letting anyone reach the bottom of the hill while staying standing?"
"Fuck your grandma! Zhang Ye has escaped!"
"Fuck! Zhang Ye has really escaped!"
Whomsoever crosses the line shall die?
Fuck your third uncle's grandma!
Don't tell me you were simply blustering just now!?
In the end, after the entire bathroom was destroyed by the angry people of the large sects, spilling a pool of urine and feces all over the place, there was still no sign of Zhang Ye!
Escaped?
Zhang Ye escaped?
Liu Yiquan, Li Quanneng, He Badao, and the others were dumbfounded!
Be it the disciples of the large and small sects or the non-affiliates on the hilltop, everyone was dumbfounded!
A disciple of the Huashan Sect cursed angrily, "That cheat!"
A person from the Iron Palm shouted, "How deceitful! That was very deceitful!"
A disciple of the Kunlun Sect could not believe his eyes and said in a stunned manner, "Didn't Zhang Ye say that if there were anyone who could leave the hill and still stay standing, he would take our sect leader's surname?"
When the Kunlun Sect's leader heard that, he got even angrier!
No one understood what was going on.
However, the next thing that the Kunlun Sect's leader said made everyone faint. "Fuck his grandma! M-My surname is Zhang too!"
Everyone collectively fainted on the spot!
Immediately, everyone started cursing and swearing on the hilltop!
"Old Crook Zhang is very deceitful!"
"Despicable!"
"How despicable!"
"Let's quickly give chase!"
"Everyone, quickly chase after them!"
They would never have imagined that there would be such a shameless person in this world!
Life is like a play—anyone can get best actor!
