Mantis Fei didn't think much of it. "No way! Your brother-in-law owes me ten Illusory Beasts, and you've only made up for two. What about the remaining eight?"

"How about this? I'll take your two Illusory Beasts, then cut off your brother-in-law's hands and feet and return them to you. Would that work?"

Liu Jun almost fainted from anger and hurriedly pleaded, "Brother Mantis, give me seven days, just seven days, okay? After seven days, I guarantee I'll deliver the remaining eight Illusory Beasts. Can you please release my brother-in-law first?"

Mantis Fei repeatedly waved his hand in refusal. "No way! Not even one less. I can't release your brother-in-law. Brother, paying debts is a matter of principle. You wouldn't be thinking of welching on your debt, would you?"

The hot-tempered Ying Ning stood up to accuse him, "Who are you saying is trying to welch on their debt? Our Golden Light Mercenary Corps never welch on debts."

Originally, Mantis Fei had taken a strong dislike to Ying Ning. Now that she had butted in, he seized the opportunity to vent his anger.

Mantis Fei looked at Ying Ning, narrowed his eyes at her, and said to himself, "Where did this wild girl come from, daring to act so presumptuously here? Sword Emperor! Slap her twice across the face, so this wild girl can learn some manners!"

With a whoosh, a blur flashed before Ying Ning, followed by two loud smacks on her face.

Ying Ning had been slapped for no reason, and she was immediately furious and enraged.

She roared, "Damn your grandma! No one has ever hit my face before."

As soon as she finished speaking, the person called Sword Emperor stepped forward and said with a smug look, "There hadn't been before, but now there has been, hahaha."

Ying Ning was about to charge forward and fight with this Sword Emperor.

Just then, a warm and ardent hand gently pressed on Ying Ning's shoulder.

Ying Ning felt a current of warmth, like starlight, like the vast sea, like a spring breeze, seeping into her heart.

Lost in her intoxicated state, Ying Ning had not yet recovered when she heard a voice in her ear, "Ying Ning, don't worry, leave it to me."

Ying Ning looked up and saw that it was Ye Cang.

At this moment, in Ying Ning's eyes, Ye Cang was like the gentleness of a thousand sails passing by, with a touch of starlight. He was both the hope of captivity and the ultimate purity of heart.

Ye Cang raised an eyebrow at Sword Emperor and said, "Jiang Huang, what kind of skill is it to bully a girl? Fight me. If I lose, I'll give you ten extra B-grade Illusory Beasts!"

As soon as he said this, Liu Jun, Fatty Liu, immediately felt his legs go weak and fell to the ground with a thud.

Ye Wenxiao quickly ran over to help him up.

Fatty Liu said to Ye Wenxiao with a bitter face, "My dear ancestral grandma! Xiao Ye, where did you recruit this ancestor from? How can he be so arrogant? Twenty Illusory Beasts in total, and he dares to say that so easily!"

Ye Wenxiao immediately comforted him, "Boss, don't worry, leave it to me. Please don't worry, Boss."

Sword Emperor didn't stand on ceremony and immediately drew the long sword in his hand, pointing it at Ye Cang. "Boy! You have a pretty arrogant tone! Looking at your battle strength level, you've barely reached A-grade. Do you know my battle strength level?"

Before Ye Cang could speak, Luke, who was standing behind him, interjected, "So what if you're an S-grade Awakener? There's nothing great about that! Friend! Beat him up! Kick his ass!"

Ye Cang smiled, "My name is Ye Cang. May I ask your esteemed name, Jiang Huang?"

Sword Emperor was not angry and waved his hand, replying leisurely, "My name is Huangcheng Jianfei. They're used to calling me Sword Emperor. As for you… calling me Jiang Huang all the time. You'll definitely pay the price for it later!"

Ye Cang knew that a fight was imminent, but the terms of the bet had not been made clear yet. Ye Cang quickly added, "If I lose, I'll naturally pay you ten B-grade Illusory Beasts. But what if I win?"

Sword Emperor laughed loudly, "Hahaha, win? A small fry on the edge of A-grade wants to beat me, an S-grade? Hahahaha."

Then, some of the people behind Sword Emperor burst into laughter.

Ye Cang's expression remained calm, "What? Are you thinking of welching on the debt?"

Sword Emperor replied decisively, "Alright! If you win, what do you want?"

Ye Cang swept his nose with his thumb and said, "If I win, you'll have to let this young master slap you twice across the face!"

As soon as he said this, Liu Jun immediately acted like a country shrew, slapping his thighs and wailing, "My God… I can't live anymore! He doesn't want Illusory Beasts, he doesn't want my brother-in-law, he has to exchange them for two slaps… My grandma, can I still live?"

Reader: "Damn it! Are you two even going to fight or not? You've been talking for half a chapter, and you haven't even thrown a punch!"

Ye Cang knew that the fight couldn't be delayed any longer, so he immediately went all out, roaring with battle intent.

"Chronos Zero Domain - Star Trace!"

In an instant, Ye Cang's eyes emitted a white-blue starlight, and his body was filled with cosmic qi.

Whoosh!

Ye Cang flashed over, and an uppercut instantly blasted Sword Emperor's jaw.

Bang!

The tip of the fist actually buried itself to the wrist.

Sword Emperor's pupils trembled. One could imagine how painful this uppercut was!!!

Crack!

Sword Emperor's head tilted back 180 degrees, and five or six teeth flew out of his mouth, drawing a crescent arc along with the bright red blood, and Sword Emperor's body, under the impact of the blow, began to fly backward.

Ye Cang was quick-witted and quickly reached out with his left hand, pressing firmly on Sword Emperor's right shoulder, preventing him from flying away.

Suddenly! Ye Cang's arm exerted force!

Boom!

Sword Emperor was crushed by Ye Cang's single arm, his knees sinking into the earth, revealing only the parts of his body above his thighs.

Ye Cang glanced at Sword Emperor indifferently, "S-grade? Is that all there is to it?"

Then, Ye Cang slapped Sword Emperor's face hard.

Pfft!

A crisp and explosive slap sent another four or five teeth flying out of Sword Emperor's mouth.

Sword Emperor's ears rang, and the Ye Cang in his vision was now divided into three, shaking in a semicircle.

Ye Cang leaned down and said slowly, "Jiang Huang, do you see that? A fist as big as a casserole."

Bang! Ye Cang threw a punch!

This punch was unstoppable, aimed at the soul! It made ghosts and gods afraid, and demons and evil tremble!

Ku, cha, a sound!

Sword Emperor was blasted directly into the air by this punch. The legs that were deeply embedded in the ground instantly lifted off the ground.

And half of Ye Cang's arm was also embedded in Sword Emperor's body.

Everyone present almost vomited their eyes out of their sockets, and their jaws almost dropped in shock as they looked at Ye Cang and Sword Emperor.

Mantis Fei thought, "Good heavens… This kid barely managed to become an A-grade battle force. How could he unilaterally crush an S-grade powerhouse?"

"Sword Emperor's strength is not only reflected in his S-grade battle power. His Chronos Quantum Boundary Rate has even reached 21.8%. He can be considered a mid-level powerhouse in the S-grade battle force echelon."
