Chapter 1042: Chapter 1059: Persuading Ye Feng [Update 1]
Ye Feng learned from Wu Kexin and the others about Dongxuan Island, which only appeared a year ago.
Back then, the Immortal Orchids on Dongxuan Island hadn’t matured yet, but now, these Immortal Orchids have nearly all matured, reaching a century’s worth of quality, which is an incredible phenomenon.
The Immortal Orchid can mature in ten years, but to reach a century’s quality means that within this short year, these orchids have evolved from less than ten years of quality to a hundred years’ worth.
From this, Ye Feng could deduce that there must be some secret hidden within the deep pit.
Ye Feng looked at the edge of the pit and saw a path leading all the way to the bottom.
Ye Feng just started walking along that path, and seeing his actions, everyone was taken aback, their eyes filled with astonishment, not knowing what Ye Feng planned to do by venturing into the pit.
Just as Ye Feng took a few steps, Elder Yu rushed to block his path.
"Kid, what are you trying to do?" Elder Yu looked at Ye Feng in surprise. Clearly, everyone had seen the seven giant pythons in the pit, yet Ye Feng still intended to go in.
But Ye Feng simply replied calmly, "Naturally, I’m going into the pit..."
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Huang Chen, Elder Yu, and Huang Chen’s subordinates were all stunned, their eyes filled with shock. Elder Yu’s eyes widened at Ye Feng, "Kid, are you crazy, or is there something wrong with your brain? Didn’t you see what’s in the pit? Going down there, those Demon Pythons will swallow you whole!"
Yet, Ye Feng remained unruffled, seeming completely indifferent.
"Step aside, mere small snakes can’t hurt me..." Ye Feng said coolly.
Ye Feng’s composure left Elder Yu, Huang Chen, and the others baffled.
It was as if Ye Feng wasn’t facing seven hundred-meter-long Demon Pythons, but rather just seven little insects that he could easily crush, lending no reason for him to be anxious.
Wu Kexin and Li Xue’er also felt Ye Feng’s unbelievable calm and instantly became composed.
They were naturally more fearful of snakes, but upon seeing Ye Feng’s calm demeanor, they realized that with Ye Feng around, they were very safe. No matter how formidable those Demon Pythons might be, they couldn’t be more formidable than Ye Feng; he would definitely keep them safe, so Li Xue’er and Wu Kexin quickly regained their composure.
However, Elder Yu and the others believed Ye Feng was out of his mind to say such things.
Elder Yu glared at Ye Feng, "Kid, I won’t stop you from courting death, but if you alert those Demon Pythons and implicate us, what then? Do you still want to go? You, as a weak External Force Martial Artist, there’s no way you could contend with those pythons!"
Despite that, Ye Feng maintained a light and easy demeanor, not taking the seven Demon Pythons seriously at all.
"When did I ever say I was an External Force Martial Artist? Move!" Ye Feng said coldly, his voice imbued with a mysterious quality that made Elder Yu feel a compelling urge to step aside.
Yet, Elder Yu held his ground, a slight surprise flickering through his mind before he looked at Ye Feng and said, "You’re not an External Force expert? Are you suggesting you’re a Grandmaster? Do you think I’ll believe that? Even if you were at the Innate Grandmaster level, going down there is suicide. These seven Demon Pythons aren’t something even the average Legendary Martial King can handle!
Kid, I’m warning you, don’t throw your life away. Because I benefited from your Detoxification Pill, I’m kindly advising you: you have a great future ahead, don’t waste it here. Leave now, while they haven’t noticed us!"
A look of impatience appeared in Ye Feng’s eyes, and he frowned as he said, "If you’re scared, then just leave, don’t stop me. My power is beyond what you people can comprehend."
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Elder Yu’s face turned red with anger, thinking Ye Feng was a hopeless madman, disregarding his clear warning, yet he still insisted on heading to his death.
Ye Feng simply walked past Elder Yu and continued toward the pit.
Witnessing this, Elder Yu frowned. "Kid, since you won’t listen to me, I’ll have to remove you by force!" With those words, Elder Yu charged toward Ye Feng and reached for his back.
Elder Yu was about to grab Ye Feng’s collar, but Ye Feng didn’t even glance at him.
"Back off!" Ye Feng spat out coldly, then casually waved his arm.
In an instant, a powerful gust of force, laden with immense authority, swept directly toward Elder Yu.
In a moment, Elder Yu’s hand was pushed away by the force, which then crashed into him.
Elder Yu immediately felt his stance falter, his body involuntarily stumbling backward.
"Thud, thud, thud~~~" Elder Yu staggered back several steps and ended up on the pit’s edge, where he quickly used all his strength to regain his balance, preventing himself from falling in.
"Phew~~" Elder Yu breathed a sigh of relief, yet inside he felt an overwhelming shock. He had no idea what just happened; a youngster, a mere junior, had nonchalantly waved and pushed him back several steps. He was a powerful Half-step Legend.
In the ordinary world, he was considered the most formidable being, yet now his heart was in turmoil, unable to accept it: "Impossible, how could I have been so easily pushed back by him? Impossible! This must have been an accident because I was caught off guard that’s why he managed to do it. Yes! It must have been an accident!"
Elder Yu kept reassuring himself, not noticing that he had fiercely stomped on the ground to forcefully halt his retreat.
