Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Sima Yang, the foremost swordsman of the Southern Territory, couldn't help but scoff, his face brimming with contempt as he swung his longsword to block across the void.

However, the very next moment, his expression dramatically changed, becoming one of utter horror.

With a crisp clang, Sima Zhantian's meter-long greatsword chopped down, and Sima Yang's longsword was knocked right out of his hand, flying away. His whole body was violently jolted backward by the force of the other's sword strike.

"That was the first strike!" Sima Zhantian snorted coldly, his entire being radiating an intense fighting spirit.

The people below who had been cheering for Sima Yang were left speechless, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word when they witnessed this scene.

Sima Yang was even more dumbfounded where he stood.

At this moment, Sima Zhantian swept across the sky, striking down with another sword.

The white blade light was dazzlingly bright against the night, causing Sima Yang to break out in a cold sweat. In a panic, he swiftly retreated, but it was still too late—his arm was severed and fell to the ground.

"This is the second slash, remember, my name is Sima Zhantian, commander of the Third Legion under the Northern Border!"

In the act of speaking, Sima Zhantian leaped up explosively, his speed like that of a tiger or leopard, as he delivered a sweeping blow.

Under the starry sky, a long stream of blood spurted out, carrying Sima Yang's head with it, before it thudded and rolled across the wooden battle platform.

Dead silence fell upon the spectators below, where over a thousand soldiers dared not even breathe heavily.

Sima Zhantian sheathed his sword, grabbed the opponent's head, and huffed, "With your caliber, you dare commit follies in front of the Northern Border King; truly a creature oblivious to life and death. Now, who else dares to defy me?"

With that, Sima Zhantian scanned the crowd, his body exuding chilling murderous intent without even a trace of rage.

In the Northern Border, he was known as the God of Slaughter; although his combat power might not be the highest among the nine legion commanders, he was certainly the one that most soldiers feared.

No one dared to speak up. Wherever Sima Zhantian's gaze reached, those below invariably lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eye.

The night in the Southern Territory suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that even the breathing of the people could be heard.

On the observation platform above, the rest of the commanders clenched their fists tightly. They felt enormous anger and humiliation, but none dared to make a sound.

Xia Lengchan, after all, originated from the Southern Territory. Seeing what had transpired, she stepped forward and said, "The duel has concluded. Both parties signed a Battle Challenge Letter accepting a life-or-death fight. Sima Yang lost the battle and died as a result of his own actions. Everyone, please disperse!"

As soon as her words fell, the multitude of soldiers scattered, as shamefaced and disheveled on their departure as they had been arrogant on arrival.

Ye Feng didn't say a word more. It was certainly not the time for him to berate the soldiers of the Southern Territory; his generosity of spirit was not so narrow.

However, he certainly understood that, after this battle, his authority in the Southern Territory had begun to be firmly established.

Xiao Chuanqi, Xia Lengchan, Li Jingang, Zhuge Yu, and other notable figures also refrained from saying much, simply following Ye Feng and leaving.

Under the cover of night, the commanders of the Southern Territory watching from the platform, staring at the figure surrounded like stars around the moon, couldn't help but grind their teeth in fury.

"Dammit, this Northern Border King, encountering trouble in the Northern Border, now comes to our Southern Territory. What the hell is he planning to do?" one commander muttered darkly.

"Who knows? Maybe he was pushed so hard in the Northern Border that he couldn't stay there, so he thought about coming to our Southern Territory to show off!"

"Show off in our Southern Territory... The Northern Border King, relying on a few capable subordinates, thinks he can do whatever he wants. It's only because our Great Commander is still secluded in the deep mountains and has not returned, and also because the powerful masters under the Lord of the Nine Domains are not in the base camp, that he's been able to be so arrogant!"

"Indeed, your words have reminded me. I will contact the Great Commander immediately, asking him to swiftly return to the Base Camp. Also, this matter needs to be reported to the Hengling Domain Lord straight away. After all, Sima Yang is one of his subordinates, so the Hengling Domain Lord must be the one to step forward!"

"Right, should we inform the King of the Southern Territory about this?"

As soon as the King of the Southern Territory was mentioned, the few commanders present on the platform immediately fell silent. Over the past few years, although the King of the Southern Territory was still in the Base Camp, he had essentially faded from people's view, and many had grown accustomed to neglecting him.

"The King of the Southern Territory is still in secluded cultivation. I think it's better to just let it be," a commander said, slightly curling his lips.

"During this time, do not provoke that crippled Northern Border King with the broken leg. We will wait for the Great Commander to return before we do anything!" the commanders eventually said in unison.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng remained seated in a wheelchair, which was then pushed by Hong Qingyan along a shaded path back to his residence.

Halfway there, Ye Feng suddenly gestured with his hand to stop and then turned his head, saying, "Commander Xia, come here."

Xia Lengchan immediately approached with swift steps, bowed, and greeted with her hands clasped, "What are your orders, my lord?"

Ye Feng asked, "Is the King of the Southern Territory in secluded cultivation within the Base Camp?"

"Responding to my lord, he is in the Base Camp, in a small courtyard behind the mountain," Xia Lengchan answered.

"How far is it from here?" Ye Feng asked again.

"Not far, it's about a twenty-minute walk."

"Good, let's set out now. I shall pay a visit to the King of the Southern Territory!" Ye Feng decisively declared.

He had originally planned to wait until the next day, but just now at the training ground, he noticed that many soldiers of the Southern Territory had almost completely disregarded the King of the Southern Territory. The current state of the Southern Territory was essentially leaderless and fragmented.

The Lords of the Nine Domains, in turn, were acting independently, and these commanders and young generals had developed increasingly arrogant and imperious traits. If this continued, the Southern Territory would undoubtedly be doomed!

"Going to see the King of the Southern Territory now? But the King of the Southern Territory has given strict instructions, forbidding anyone from disturbing him..."

Xia Lengchan's words were cut short when she suddenly saw Ye Feng's stern expression, and she quickly changed her statement, "As you command, my lord. I will lead the way!"

Subsequently, they changed their route, heading westward. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain was a small courtyard. The courtyard was not very large, with only three rooms in the Elegant Bamboo Residence. It was surrounded by bamboo and had many flowers and plants within, appearing somewhat like a utopia.

However, there were as many as eight guards at the entrance of the small courtyard.

"Halt, this is a restricted area, no one is allowed to enter!" the eight guards firmly stood their ground.

Ye Feng came forward; after all, the King of the Southern Territory inside was of equal status to himself. Even though the King of the Southern Territory was not considered strong in ability or martial arts, both morally and reasonably, he deserved ample respect.

In a sense, to show respect to the other party was to show respect to oneself!

Xia Lengchan was about to speak when Ye Feng preemptively said, "Please go in and inform him that the Northern Border King Ye Feng has come to visit."

This statement already showed enough sincerity, yet the eight guards responded coldly after hearing it, "No, there are orders from above that no matter who comes, they are not allowed to enter. Not to mention the Northern Border King or the King of the Eastern Border, even if the King Kao Shan of the imperial capital were to personally arrive, it wouldn't be permitted."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyebrows instantly furrowed. He sensed that something was amiss here, something very amiss!
