“Over the years, I have fought alongside you all, time and time again, overcoming countless hardships and dangers.”
“I am very fortunate to have been born in this country.”
“I am also grateful to have so many good and honourable compatriots.”
“And it is because of my love for this country that I have always done my best, to guard this country and the people here.”
“The country’s long-lasting peace and prosperity of Yanxia is the dream I have been fighting for all my life, Ye Qingtian!”
“Therefore, I, along with my comrades, founded the Martial God Hall. I also accepted the Queen of Wind’s advice to promote the Dragon Gate Project, and all I wanted to do was to see a stronger country.”
“For such a goal, I even struck out and injured a friend of mine, and also chose to turn a blind eye when my friend needed help the most.”
“But I didn’t regret it at the time because I always felt that I took the side of the serious people, I stood for the greater good of my country and anything, as long as it didn’t go against my ideals, was worth it.”
“But, over this period of time, I have gradually realised that I seem to have been wrong.”
“Just like countless martial artists who pursue power, I, Ye Qingtian, seem to have been confused by a momentary surge of power.”
“Yes, what I want to talk about is, today’s Dragon Gate plan.”
“I had felt, like everyone else, that the appearance of the Dragon Gate in my Yanxia was a blessing from Heaven, a chance for the people of Yanxia.”
“But, gradually, I discovered that the appearance of the Dragon Gate has caused us to lose the original purpose of the martial arts.”
“The acquisition of power is not supposed to happen overnight.”
“To resort to external forces and to pull up the seedlings is self-destructive!”
“I hereby announce a statistic to you all.”
“Of the last batch of Dragon Sect trainees in Western Europe, half of the fifty died within the Dragon Sect, and of those who survived, another half, one after another, died within three days when their tendons and veins burst!”
….
“The African Dragon Gate, was even more tragic. Out of a list of one hundred people, only ten survived. Moreover, even these ten people, because of the forceful infusion of power, their tendons and veins have all suffered varying degrees of damage, and there is no hope of promotion in this life!”
….
At the top of Yan Mountain, Ye Qingtian was full of gloomy eyes as he recounted those shocking statistics to the crowd.
“No… It can’t be?”
“War God have you made a mistake?”
“This Dragon Gate is vigorously promoted by the four giants of the God Ranking.”
“Queen Wind and the others, could they still harm us?”
…..
“Exactly.”
“Didn’t the first few batches of the Dragon Gate program go well?”
“Old King’s Head, and Old Li, they’ve all broken through to the Sealed Realm!”
As the saying goes, words don’t stop there.
With these words, Ye Qingtian had undoubtedly set off a furor among the crowd.
The crowd all looked extremely shocked and simply could not believe it.
As for Chen Kyushu, at the beginning, Chen Kyushu was just listening absentmindedly and did not care.
But soon, he realised that the intent of the War God’s speech seemed to be to discredit his Dragon Gate plan.
This undoubtedly caused Chen Kyushu to be greatly alarmed.
“Ye Qingtian, what are you babbling about?”
“You still don’t stop talking!”
Chen Kyushu shouted angrily, causing Ye Qingtian to stop talking immediately.
But Ye Qingtian ignored it and continued to speak.
“Everyone, I know that what I have said may be difficult for everyone to accept for a while.”
“But, please believe me.”
“I give my word of honour that everything I have said above is true.”
“And the Dragon Gate of today is no longer the gate of power, not the gate of opportunity. Rather, it is the gate of hell, the gate of death.”
“I cannot stand by and watch all of you, my compatriots, go in to die!”
“Therefore, I declare that after today, the Dragon Gate Experience Programme is permanently suspended!”
“b*stard, you seek death!” Ye Qingtian’s final words completely angered Chen Kyushu.
With no more nonsense, he stamped his feet on the earth and instantly charged out.
With a ferocious slap, he slammed down!
“Old Ye, be careful!”
“Get back!”
The Sword Saint shouted anxiously, and the Fist King was also full of worry in his eyes.
But Ye Qingtian didn’t dodge, he just stood there.
Like one of Yanxia’s pillars, he was at the top of Yanxia’s highest point!
Retreat?
He has no way to retreat!
If he retreats, who will be left to defend this summer?
In the past, he still had Ye Fan behind him.
But now, Ye Fan had been forced to die by them.
And now, in Yanxia, he, Ye Qingtian, is the only one left fighting alone!
So, no matter what, he had to stop it, this Dragon Gate plan, from going ahead.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Chen Kyushu’s palm steadily slapped on top of Ye Qingtian’s spine.
Ye Qingtian did not move like a mountain, but a mouthful of crimson blood was spat out directly.
But even so, the God of War continued to stand on Mount Yan and shout.
His mouth was full of blood and he was filled with mourning, “Yan Xia martial artists, it is time to wake up.”
“Power does not fall from the sky, nor is it given to us by others, but we cultivate it ourselves, one step at a time.”
“If you don’t accumulate steps, you won’t reach a thousand miles, and if you don’t accumulate small streams, you won’t become a river or an ocean!”
“There are no shortcuts to success, and there are even fewer shortcuts to becoming a strong person.”
“So all of you, it’s time to wake up to your dreams…”
“Stop fantasising about the fairy tale of the carp jumping from the dragon’s gate…”
“The Dragon Gate Project, really, can no longer be carried out…”
Boom!
Another slap.
Chen Kyushu’s face was full of ice cold as he slapped down again at Ye Qingtian.
This time, Ye Qingtian could no longer hold on.
His body trembled and a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out immediately!
The whole man was also sent flying.
“Old thing, how dare you mislead me?”
“Since you don’t want to enter the Dragon Gate so much, I, this Hall Master, must let you in today!”
Chen Kyushu was furious, his icy eyes reflecting a cold and gloomy light.
He walked forward, picked up Ye Qingtian with one hand, and threw him directly in the direction of the Dragon Gate.
But at the critical moment, the two of them, the Sword Saint and the Fist King, stepped forward.
They stood in the way of the Dragon Gate and caught Ye Qingtian!
“What?”
“Ye Qingtian seeks death, you two, don’t you want to live too?”
Chen Kyushu’s brows narrowed completely.
He looked towards the Fist Emperor and Sword Saint, and his morose words were filled with threats.
“Fist Emperor, Sword Saint, you put me down.”
“Today’s matter is none of your business.”
Once the War God had steadied himself, he stood up straight once more.
He pushed aside the Sword Saint and the others, and faced Chen Kyushu alone!
“Chen Kyushu, you are bent on being domineering and despotic, treating the lives of your fellow countrymen as if they were nothing!”
“As the Guardian God of Yanxia, I can’t allow you to do whatever you want!”
The War God’s furious voice echoed, and a monstrous might, too, burst forth from his body.
Powerful qi surged through his veins and tendons.
Beneath his body, his blood boils!
A dense battle spirit rises up to the sky.
When Chen Kyushu saw this, he smiled.
“Hahahaha…”
“With just you, do you want to judge me too?”
“You can’t even beat Chu Tianfan, so how can you be my opponent?”
“If you had united with Chu Tianfan against me when he was alive, I might have found it a little tricky.”
“But now, with Chu Tianfan dead, who else in the whole of Yanxia can defeat me?”
“Even your three great pillar states combined would not be a single move against me, Chen Kyushu!”
Chen Kyushu’s eyes were filled with wantonness and arrogance.
Yes, after Ye Fan’s death, his style of action had undoubtedly become even more domineering and reckless.
What was the difference between not only the God of War, but even this group of martial artists in Yanxia, and the playthings in his hands?
As he laughed, Ye Qingtian had already struck!
A Heavenly Mortal Divine Palm slammed down with fury.
Chen Kyushu did not even dodge, striking out with a casual move.
Boom!
Hearing only the explosion of qi, Chen Kyushu’s entire body was directly swept away by Ye Qingtian!
“Damn it!”
“What kind of palm technique are you using?”
Chen Kyushu climbed up, his ashen face was a bit comical.
However, compared to the anger in his heart, the doubt on his face was undoubtedly even more intense.
Obviously, he had not expected that the power that this Ye Qingtian had just exploded out with that palm was far beyond his personal realm!
