Bang!

Hong Bao's fist, shimmering with golden light, struck Ye Zhen's shoulder like a golden meteor, and the audience immediately held their breath.

However, the scene where Ye Zhen was sent flying by a single punch, which the many outer disciples had anticipated or speculated, did not occur. At the moment of impact, Ye Zhen's shoulder began to vibrate at a strange frequency, resembling a wave but more like the body of a slippery snake.

The Sliding Snake Stance of the Snake Glide Step!

Hong Bao's fierce expression suddenly froze. The sensation in his hand, as if he had hit a slippery loach, told him that this punch, which he believed would be fatal, did not cause much damage to Ye Zhen. Oh no!

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen's hands, like a pair of agile snakes, darted out from under Hong Bao's ribs and rapidly tapped his chest and ribs. At this moment, Ye Zhen's hands were like a pair of agile snakes, with all ten fingers moving together, each finger emitting a small green light point.

Puh puh puh puh!

As Ye Zhen's fingers rapidly tapped, the green true essence between his fingers was directly driven into Hong Bao's body.

Each time a bit of green light was driven into Hong Bao's body, his body would inexplicably tremble.

Pah pah pah pah pah!

In an instant, Ye Zhen's hands tapped Hong Bao's body thirty-six times. The moment the thirty-six taps were completed, a hint of fear rose in Hong Bao's eyes.

Because at that moment, he could no longer feel the true essence in his body, or rather, the true essence in his body could only circulate in his dantian and could not break out of it.

Not only that, but the golden light on his fists, which had been densely packed, also receded like a tide.

"Meridian Sealing, the killing move of the Snake Sealing Meridian Hand?" Gu Duo Zhi, who was watching the battle from below, suddenly stood up.

Whoo!

Standing there, unable to activate his true essence, Hong Bao was still not giving up. With his barely movable arms, he swung them towards Ye Zhen's head.

With one hand pulling and the other pushing, there were two crisp sounds, and Hong Bao's shoulder joints were dislocated by Ye Zhen. As his arms drooped, Ye Zhen suddenly exhaled and shouted, "Hey!"

A solid Five Mountain Fist struck Hong Bao's chest, and a jet of blood spurted from his mouth as he was sent flying.

While Hong Bao was flying through the air, the sound of his true essence breaking through the meridian seal continued, as he frantically tried to activate his true essence to break through Ye Zhen's Snake Sealing Meridian Hand.

Ye Zhen's figure suddenly crouched and sprang, and a palm blade filled with true essence cut towards Hong Bao's throat.

Ye Zhen's figure was like lightning, and Hong Bao's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme, his eyes showing fear for the first time.

The palm blade filled with true essence could cut through metal and jade, and its sharpness was even stronger than that of a sword. If this palm struck, Hong Bao would surely die.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Hong Bao's true essence was sealed, and only a small part of the thirty-six meridian seals that Ye Zhen had set up in his body had been broken. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Zhen's palm cut towards him.

The moment the palm wind reached his body, Hong Bao's eyes widened to the extreme, even with bloodshot veins.

Death was so close to him at this moment!

Just as Hong Bao thought he was doomed, a jade bead came flying and struck Ye Zhen's palm blade, deflecting it.

Crack!

Ye Zhen's palm blade fiercely struck Hong Bao's collarbone, breaking it into two pieces and causing him to suffer another severe injury, leaving him unable to get up.

Ye Zhen suddenly turned, his gaze somewhat unfriendly as he stared at the sect's overseer who was guarding the martial arena. It was he who had intervened, and this was already the second time he had obstructed Ye Zhen. At this moment, the sect's overseer was already walking towards the fallen Hong Bao.

"In a few years, you will realize that killing is not the only way."

"Besides, it is my duty. If you were the one about to be killed, I would have intervened as well."

After explaining, the sect's overseer glanced at the fallen Hong Bao, patted him a few times to restore his dislocated joints, and announced, "Ye Zhen wins!"

Below the martial arena, there was an instant of silence, and the eyes of the thousands of outer disciples became extremely blank. Jin Yuan Bao, standing at the gambling table, even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

With his arms just restored, Hong Bao's fists clenched tightly.

He dared not raise his head, nor did he dare to stand up.

His pride and arrogance were shattered by Ye Zhen in that moment.

He usually acted tyrannically, demanding that everyone give way to him and that he should have special privileges, because he felt he was very powerful and deserved such privileges. Even Gu Duo Zhi did not dare to provoke him, which he believed was the treatment a strong person should receive.

But now, his former arrogance had become a joke, a joke that Ye Zhen had easily exposed.

"Ha ha ha ha, I won, Ye Zhen won, Ye Zhen won!" Jin Yuan Bao laughed excitedly, as if every piece of fat on his body was laughing.

"Brothers and sisters, thank you for your silver. I've made it, I've made it!" Just a moment ago, Jin Yuan Bao was cursing his senior brother Gu Duo Zhi for forcing him to open the gambling table and even wanted to tear Ye Zhen's mouth apart.

Now, he wished he could kiss Ye Zhen's mouth if Ye Zhen allowed it.

Jin Yuan Bao's wild laughter, however, caused the dissatisfaction and even anger of the thousands of outer disciples who had lost their silver. Many of them thought this was a good opportunity to make money and even bet all their savings.

The angry gazes of thousands of people immediately made Jin Yuan Bao realize the situation was not good. Without hesitation, he hugged the several burlap bags of bets and jumped behind his senior brother Gu Duo Zhi, and wisely closed his mouth, afraid of provoking more anger.

Gu Duo Zhi loved to appear fair, and at this moment, only he could protect Jin Yuan Bao.

Senior brother Gu Duo Zhi was still in shock, still immersed in the Snake Sealing Meridian Hand that Ye Zhen had used, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The reason for this was that Gu Duo Zhi had also chosen to practice the Snake Sealing Meridian Hand because of its power and had practiced it for more than half a year.

After half a year of hard practice, Gu Duo Zhi's Snake Sealing Meridian Hand had achieved some success, but he could not master the killing move, the Meridian Sealing Hand.

Rapidly tapping thirty-six points in a single breath, even after half a year of hard practice and breaking through to the True Essence Realm, he still could not achieve it.

However, Ye Zhen had just done it, and it seemed to come naturally.

Not long after, the thousands of outer disciples gathered here gradually dispersed, even those who had lost everything walked away helplessly.

Willing to accept the loss, the young and impetuous outer disciples did not do the shameless act of cheating in public.

"Ha ha ha ha, five thousand taels, Shi Tianjia, I won five thousand taels! It can be exchanged for more than twenty Blood Essence Pills, and now my cultivation can advance to the fifth level of Blood Training."

Feng Hao Ran waved the results in front of the stunned Shi Tianjia, laughing as he walked away, leaving Shi Tianjia standing there like a wooden chicken.

The eight hundred taels of silver and two hundred contribution points he had bet on Hong Bao were his entire fortune. The eight hundred taels of silver were given by his family, and the two hundred contribution points were earned by completing sect tasks over the past four months, which he had never used.

Now, it was all gone in one day!

"Jin Yuan Bao, this time you've made a fortune," senior brother Gu Duo Zhi suddenly said to Jin Yuan Bao, who had just come to his senses.

"Just a small fortune, all thanks to senior brother, all thanks to senior brother," Jin Yuan Bao nodded hurriedly.

Hearing this, Gu Duo Zhi was taken aback for a moment, as he seemed to have forced Jin Yuan Bao to open the gambling table.

"By the way, Jin Yuan Bao, I have a question. I heard that Ye Zhen was still a miscellaneous disciple four months ago. Is this true?" Gu Duo Zhi asked.

"It's true, it's true. Senior brother, do you know the Fish Dragon Path that was specially opened for miscellaneous disciples four months ago? Ye Zhen is a dark horse, a dark horse that emerged out of nowhere, making me a lot of money," Jin Yuan Bao replied.

"So it's true. By the way, do you know which miscellaneous peak Ye Zhen used to stay at?" Gu Duo Zhi suddenly asked.

"Which miscellaneous peak Ye Zhen used to stay at? Let me think... Oh, right, Bai Song Peak, it's Bai Song Peak. When Ma Hui wanted to bully Ye Zhen, the manager of Bai Song Peak even came out to support Ye Zhen," Jin Yuan Bao answered.

"Bai Song Peak, I see... " After saying this, senior brother Gu Duo Zhi drifted away, but his face turned a bit mysterious.

After senior brother Gu Duo Zhi walked away, Jin Yuan Bao muttered to himself, "Inquiring about the miscellaneous peak Ye Zhen used to stay at, what is senior brother going to do?"

At this moment, the Earth List on the Heaven and Earth Cliff flickered a few times, and Ye Zhen's name immediately replaced Hong Bao's name in the second position of the Earth List.

Hong Bao's name moved to the third position, and Li Yuncun's name moved to the fourth position.

Seeing the change in his ranking on his identity jade token, Li Yuncun smiled bitterly, wondering why his ranking had not advanced but instead retreated after half a year of hard practice.

At the same time, when the Earth List ranking changed, the peak manager of Donglai Peak, Liu Zhisshi, exclaimed, "Oh, there's a new top three on the Earth List?"

The moment he stepped out to take a closer look, Liu Zhisshi was greatly surprised.

At the same time, in the clouds above the martial arena, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly disappeared, "He actually won, it's quite unexpected..."

"Senior brother Jin, can we now divide the spoils?" Ye Zhen laughed as he ran towards Jin Yuan Bao, as the biggest gain from this battle was actually here.

Hong Bao, who had just been carried away for treatment, heard Ye Zhen's shout and spat out another mouthful of blood.

He had bet all his fortune with Jin Yuan Bao, and now, with this loss, he had become a penniless pauper.

Becoming a pauper was not the problem; what made him furious was that half of his fortune would fall into Ye Zhen's hands, which was a typical case of aiding the enemy, aiding the enemy!

PS: Boys, Hong Bao has started aiding the enemy, where is your support?
