Young Martial God

1The frost kept spreading upwards. Nangong Ming felt that his legs were numb and he was about to lose consciousness. His pale face revealed a strong fear.    

    

If he didn't stop it, his legs would be crippled.    

    

"Nangong Ming, who is the trash between us?"    

    

Ye Zhi's cold voice rang in his ears.    

    

Nangong Ming's body trembled. He looked at Ye Zhi's cold eyes. His eyes were full of fear. He gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "I surrender."    

    

Surrender?    

    

Ye Zhi sighed and his body trembled. He struck Nangong Ming's body with his palm. The cold air in his body quickly disappeared, and the spreading frost stopped abruptly.    

    

Crack!    

    

Nangong Ming activated his spirit energy, and the frost underneath instantly shattered. The qi and blood in his legs gradually flowed, nourishing the frozen flesh.    

    

When he looked up, Ye Zhi had already left the arena.    

    

He looked at the figure with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.    

    

"Ye Zhi, I will beat you."    

    

"I will let you know that a warrior's talent is more than enough. I will surpass you."    

    

"First Elder."    

    

Ye Zhi stopped his cold breath. The cold air in the hall dissipated instantly, and his strength returned to the Second Rank of Metamorphosis Stage realm.    

    

The First Elder glanced at Ye Zhi and slightly nodded his head. Then, he looked at Nangong Ming and shouted in a low voice, "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"    

    

Nangong Ming gritted his teeth and slowly got off the stage.    

    

Ye Zhi looked away from Nangong Ming. He looked at Nangong Huanxue with a trace of fear in his eyes.    

    

Even though his cultivation base had advanced to the Fifth Rank of Metamorphosis Stage realm, it was still not worth mentioning in front of Nangong Huanxue.    

    

Nangong Huanxue's strength had already reached the Sixth Rank of Metamorphosis Stage realm during the Dragon Tiger Ranking war. He wondered if she had broken through to the Seventh Level Metamorphosis Stage realm in two months' time.    

    

She was truly worthy of being called a genius of the four spirits. She was truly extraordinary.    

    

Ye Zhi secretly sighed with emotion.    

    

However, he was still full of confidence in the one-year agreement.    

    

The reason he agreed to the one-year agreement was mostly because of his inner master's gratitude to Nangong Huanxue, as well as some indescribable feeling.    

    

"Since no one has any objections, let's go. Someone will lead you to the capital city." The First Elder's gaze swept across the crowd as he spoke in a low voice.    

    

On the open field of Nangong family, a monster that was several meters tall was lying on the ground obediently. Although it didn't move at all, it didn't move at all. However, the violent aura it emitted still caused the faces of the surrounding disciples of the Nangong family to turn pale, and they were trembling with fear.    

    

"Oh my god, a rank four monster, Flame Condor."    

    

"A medicinal Flame Condor that's equivalent to a medicinal cultivator of One Thought Stage is actually lying there obediently?"    

    

"It might have been tamed by someone. Don't you see that the one at the side is the leader of Niu Lia? What is he trying to do?"    

    

Everyone was curious and frightened as they observed the Flame Condor. They discussed animatedly.    

    

On the other side, Ye Zhi and the others came to the open field. When they saw the Flame Condor that was emitting a brutal aura, they could not help being startled.    

    

"This is the fourth phase monster medicinal Flame Condor?"    

    

Sensing the brutal aura that was rushing towards them, it was as if they were covered by invisible waves. Ye Zhi's face turned deathly pale as he swallowed his saliva in secret.    

    

The strength of a rank four monster was equivalent to a cultivator of One Thought Stage.    

    

"This Flame Condor has already been tamed. As a flying transport of our Nangong family, it won't attack warriors." Nangong Xuan said indifferently from the side.    

    

"Flying transport?"    

    

Ye Zhi had a strange look on his face when he heard that.    

    

Monsters whose strength was equivalent to cultivator of One Thought Stages were actually used as aircrafts.    

    

Looking at the enormous Flame Condor, a trace of shock flashed across Ye Zhi's eyes. Truly worthy of being one of the three great families of the ancient dynasty, the Nangong family Family.    

    

Perhaps the power displayed by the Nangong family of Mist Cloud City was only the tip of the iceberg.    

    

Ye Zhi guessed in his heart and walked over.    

    

"Miss Xue, Young Master Xuan, Young Master Ming, the one behind seems to be Ye Zhi, right?"    

    

"The Dragon Tiger Ranking is ranked in the top three and Ye Zhi is a top elite. Could it be that they are going to the capital city to participate in the martial arts competition between the three families?"    

    

"What right does Ye Zhi have to participate in a competition of that level?"    

    

...    

    

In the crowd, a pair of resentful eyes stared at Ye Zhi who was walking towards the Flame Condor.    

    

"Ye Zhi, the capital will be your burial ground."    

    

"Oh?"    

    

Ye Zhi frowned and turned his head to look at the crowd.    

    

His eyes met a pair of resentful eyes, which made his eyes turn cold instantly.    

    

"Nangong Yu?"    

    

Nangong Yu, who was in the crowd, sneered at Ye Zhi and quickly disappeared.    

    

A strange smile appeared in Ye Zhi's mind. He suddenly recalled what Nangong Yu had said earlier and felt an ominous feeling in his heart.    

    

"Miss Xue, Young Master Xuan, Young Master Ming, and Young Master Ye. I will take you to the capital this time."    

    

Niu Lia said respectfully to Nangong Huanxue.    

    

Niu Lia was the leader of the Nangong family's guards, the cultivator of One Thought Stage. However, because he was an outsider, he had to be respectful to Nangong Huanxue and the other direct descendants.    

    

"Alright."    

    

Nangong Huanxue nodded slightly. Her body flashed and she stood on the back of the Flame Condor.    

    

"Ye Zhi."    

    

"Oh, I see."    

    

Ye Zhi quickly turned his head when he heard Nangong Xuan's voice. When he saw that all of them had gone up, he gathered his thoughts and hurried over.    

    

When his gaze met the Flame Condor's vicious eyes, Ye Zhi's eyelids twitched. He quickly moved his gaze away and jumped onto the back of the Flame Condor.    

    

Niu Lia glanced at Ye Zhi in surprise. Then, he stood on top of the Flame Condor's head. He clapped his hands and shouted softly. "Fly."    

    

Bang!    

    

Ye Zhi felt his body tremble. In an instant, he was high up in the sky, and the Mist Cloud City below him had turned into a small dot.    

    

"What an amazing speed!"    

    

Ye Zhi sucked in a breath of cold air.    

    

"It will take about half an hour to reach the capital." Nangong Xuan looked at Ye Zhi. After he finished speaking, he sat cross-legged.    

    

"Ye Zhi."    

    

Nangong Huanxue said to Ye Zhi.    

    

Ye Zhi looked confused and slowly walked over.    

    

"Xue, Xue'er."    

    

He came in front of Nangong Huanxue. The moment Ye Zhi spoke, the atmosphere became awkward.    

    

Xue Er?    

    

This title made the rest of the people on the Flame Condor look over in unison. It was very strange.    

    

Niu Lia looked at Ye Zhi with an expression of disbelief.    

    

Ye Zhi dared to call the Nangong family's Eldest Miss like this?    

    

Could it be...    

    

"Commander Niu, look ahead. We are going to bump into each other."    

    

Nangong Huanxue frowned slightly. She glanced at Niu Lia and said indifferently.    

    

"Yes, yes, yes." Niu Lia turned his head and stared at the front seriously.    

    

Ye Zhi smiled awkwardly and asked, "What is it?"    

    

"Don't you know much about the ancient dynasty?"    

    

Nangong Huanxue sat cross-legged and asked softly.    

    

"It is indeed so."    

    

Ye Zhi nodded.    

    

"In our ancient dynasty, the three most powerful families are the Nangong family, Yin family, and Wu family. The three families have existed since the founding of the ancient dynasty. It can be said that they are the three biggest families apart from Ancient King."    

    

"Our Nangong family, Yin family, and Wu family are enemies. The three families have been secretly fighting each other for over a thousand years. The competition between the three families is a competition on the surface."    

    

Nangong Huanxue lowered her head and suddenly looked up. Seeing Ye Zhi's serious face, she thought for a second and smiled, "Can you sit down first?"    

    

"Oh."    

    

Ye Zhi looked at Nangong Huanxue in a daze. That demure face caused a ripple in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly sat beside Nangong Huanxue.    

    

Behind him, Nangong Xuan stared at Nangong Huanxue and Ye Zhi. His expression was very strange and there was a deep confusion in his eyes.    

    

"These two, Xue'er? Could it be..."    

    

A ridiculous thought appeared in Nangong Xuan's mind, causing him to shiver. If that was really the case, then it would be a bit exaggerated.    

    

A fresh fragrance flew into his nostrils. The temperature was very close, and it caused Ye Zhi to be unable to restrain the panic, uneasiness, and nervousness in his heart.    

    

"In our ancient dynasty, there are four princes. The First Prince has already given up on the fight for the throne and focused on practicing martial arts. The Fourth Prince is not interested in martial arts, nor is he interested in the fight for the throne. Therefore, there is only the Second Prince and Third Prince left."    

    

"What does this matter have to do with the three families?" Ye Zhi suppressed the panic in his heart and asked as if he had understood something.    

    

"They are close." Nangong Huanxue said lightly, "The ancestors of the three great families were the founders of the ancient dynasty. After that, they established the three great families. The power and status of the three great families are only below the royal family in the ancient dynasty. If they can get the support of the three great families, it will form a huge competitive advantage."    

    

The three great families, the crown prince...    

    

One by one, clues swirled in his mind. Ye Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the relationship between the three great families and the prince now?"    

    

"The second prince has received the support of the Wu family. Third Prince is also actively fighting for the support of the Nangong family, but the family doesn't seem to be optimistic about Third Prince's future, so they are still waiting to see what happens."    

0

    

"Who does the Yin family support?" Ye Zhi asked with a frown.    

    

"The Yin family..." Nangong Huanxue sneered. "They support the First Prince."    

    

"Didn't the First Prince not care about the world and focus on practicing martial arts?" Ye Zhi frowned and said in confusion.    

    

"The First Prince focused on practicing martial arts, but the Yin family has never given up on suppressing him."    

    

"By the way, Nangong Yu has an elder brother. He is also a top elite in the capital city."    

    

Nangong Huanxue changed the topic and looked at Ye Zhi with her beautiful eyes.    

    

"What did you say?"    

    

Ye Zhi's eyes narrowed.    

    

"Elder brother, a top elite..." Ye Zhi's doubts were all answered. Why did Nangong Yu say such harsh words? Why did he look so confident?    

    

So it was because he had an elder brother.    

    

"His name is Nangong Xi. His strength is on par with Nangong Xuan."    

    

"Eldest Miss, the flying transport ahead is heading here."    

    

Niu Lia suddenly turned around and said to Nangong Huanxue.    

    

Everyone looked ahead in confusion.    

    

Before they reached the ancient city, there was a small dot flying towards them from the horizon.    

    

Nangong Huanxue slowly got up. Her beautiful eyes narrowed and she frowned.    

    

Sou!    

    

The medicinal Flame Condor below swayed and emitted a sharp cry that pierced through the clouds. It was deafening.    

    

"Calm down."    

    

Niu Lia's expression changed. He stomped his foot and shouted loudly.    

    

The Flame Condor returned to its calm state.    

    

Sou!    

    

That figure quickly expanded, and everyone even felt a violent rushing wind. Niu Lia's face was full of vigilance, and spiritual energy surged out of his body as he stared at the figure in front of him.    

    

Bang!    

    

A similar Flame Condor appeared in everyone's field of vision. Its wings trembled, and it waved its endless air waves. It stopped a few meters away from everyone.    

    

On top of the huge Flame Condor stood two figures.    

    

"It's him?"    

    

Nangong Huanxue frowned when she saw him. A trace of disdain flashed across her eyes.
