Chapter 189 The Challenge! The Bet is Three Lives
Chapter 189 The Challenge! The Bet is Three Lives
A video is circulating on various platforms in DaXia.
The vampire Xue Ming, high above, loudly challenged Ye Feng in front of the camera.
"Ye Feng! I've heard you're some kind of Grand General of the Outer Town in Great Xia! And also the number one genius of Great Xia!"
"I, the number one prodigy of the Blood Clan, challenge you."
"Location! The Northern Wasteland! Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"Waiting for an answer online!"
Ye Feng saw the video while he was eating breakfast.
Blood Clan Blood Darkness.
He claims to be the number one prodigy of the vampire clan.
He shouted at the camera that he wanted to challenge Ye Feng.
After watching the video, Ye Feng continued drinking his porridge.
Cao Keyuan sat next to him and also watched the video.
His brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly.
Director Zhou, Old Zhang, Dong Sheng, and Old Zhao exchanged glances but remained silent.
"Ye Feng, what do you think?" Cao Keyuan asked.
"View on your phone!"
"It's just a provocation! If I were that easily provoked, I'd be dead eight hundred times over."
Cao Keyuan was immediately relieved.
He was afraid that Ye Feng was young and impetuous.
He cannot withstand the slightest provocation.
Zhao Gongming's call came right after that.
His voice was urgent and filled with worry.
"Ye Feng, did you see that video? It's a conspiracy, you absolutely mustn't go."
"The vampires have been operating in the northern wasteland for ten years."
"That Blood Demon dared to openly challenge you, he must have come prepared. Going there would be like walking into a trap."
Ye Feng said.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me."
Zhao Gongming was still uneasy.
He gave a few more instructions.
"Now that Shanhe Prefecture has a strong and well-equipped army, we have nothing to fear from anyone."
"Those voices online are just stirring up trouble! Don't pay any attention to them."
"If anything happens to you, Shanhe Prefecture will be finished!"
Ye Feng repeatedly assured him.
He really didn't take it seriously.
This is a form of reverse psychology.
He's seen it all before.
You can say a couple of things online.
Am I supposed to just run over there and fight you?
Who do you think you are?
What's in it for me to fight you?
But things weren't as simple as he thought.
The video went viral on various platforms across DaXia.
It's being discussed everywhere.
The vampire's number one prodigy challenges the Great General outside the Great Xia Town.
The title itself is sensational enough.
Add to that the ten-year feud between the vampires and humans.
It instantly went viral across the internet.
The topic trended on the largest forum in China for an entire day.
The top-ranked title is "Vampire Challenge Ye Feng".
The second most popular question is "Has Ye Feng accepted the challenge?"
The third most popular question is "What is a vampire?"
The number of views easily surpassed one billion.
The discussion has garnered tens of millions of views.
The short video platform is even more lively.
Various edits, narrations, and fan creations are flying around.
Someone added dark background music to Xue Ming's video and made a mashup.
This instantly aroused the hatred and indignation of the human race.
Some people even dug up the video of Ye Feng killing Yin Xing with a single strike in Shanhe Prefecture.
The caption read, "Is that all? You dare challenge my Brother Feng?"
Some people are even running betting pools in the live stream.
Let's bet on whether Ye Feng will accept the challenge.
The odds are now 1 to 10.
Other science popularization platforms haven't been idle either.
Some people are doing popular science about vampires.
From the origins of vampires to their hierarchical system.
From the vampires' abilities to their weaknesses.
He spoke very logically and eloquently.
Some people have compiled a list of Ye Feng's achievements.
From the beast tide in Jiangcheng to the battle to recapture the southern mountains.
From slaying the Mech Race envoy Silver Star to wiping out an entire Mech Race vanguard.
One case after another.
Accompanied by background music from an epic battle anthem.
It's so exciting to watch.
Tactical analysis websites are filled with analytical posts.
Analyze Xue Ming's strength.
Analyze Ye Feng's strength.
Analyze the odds of victory for both sides.
Analyzing the conspiracy behind the vampires.
"Judging from the video, Xue Ming's aura is extremely powerful, at least at the early stage of Martial God. Although Ye Feng was able to kill a half-step Martial God..."
"But there's a huge gap between a Martial God and a Half-Step Martial God, so I don't have high hopes for Ye Feng."
"Upstairs, have you forgotten about Ye Feng wiping out the advance team of the Mechanical Race in Jiangcheng with a single strike?"
"That advance team's main ship has at least the early stage of the Martial God level of defense! Ye Feng still cleaved it in two with a single strike."
"It was just a matter of one strike for Ye Feng to kill that vampire bastard."
"Why fight? It's obviously a conspiracy."
"Exactly! The vampires have been operating in the northern wasteland for decades, and Xue Ming is the vampires' number one prodigy. How could they possibly come to challenge Ye Feng for no reason? There must be an ambush."
"So what if there's an ambush? Do you think we don't care about the dignity of our human race?"
"You think you're so great? Then you do it! You sanctimonious hypocrite!"
After those words were spoken, the winds began to shift.
Blood Demon's second video came sooner than anyone expected.
A video has appeared on various platforms.
Blood Demon appeared particularly glaring under the lens.
But this time the setting has changed; it's no longer the vampire's insect hive.
It was a human city. The streets were packed with people.
They were all kneeling.
Their faces were filled with fear.
Someone is crying.
Someone is trembling.
Occasionally, a few people would try to stand up and rebel.
He was immediately knocked to the ground by the vampire soldiers next to him.
Xue Ming stood in front of the camera, a bloodthirsty smile on his lips.
"Ye Feng, I was very disappointed that you didn't reply to me yesterday."
"I thought the Great Xia's General of the Outer Garrison was at least a man of courage, but I didn't expect you to lack even the courage to accept the challenge."
"Since you're unwilling to come, I'll have to find a way to force you to agree."
He turned around and pointed to the people kneeling on the ground behind him.
"You should recognize these people. They are people from the northeastern prefecture of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"There are a total of 3.27 million people. Starting today, if you don't come to fight, I will kill 10,000 people every day. Until you agree."
After saying that, he waved his hand.
A vampire soldier dragged a middle-aged man out of the crowd.
Then press him to the ground.
He chopped off the man's head with one stroke.
Blood was sprayed all over the ground.
Heartbreaking cries and screams erupted from the crowd.
That concludes the video.
The entire Great Xia was in an uproar.
Major short video platforms and forums were directly paralyzed.
There were too many people; hundreds of millions of people flooded into various platforms at the same time, causing the servers to crash.
It's trending on social media.
The top ten are all about this.
The number one ranked item is "Vampires killing the people of Great Xia".
The second most popular number of hostages is "three million hostages".
The third most popular phrase is "Ye Feng, please."
The number of views easily exceeded 5 billion, and the number of discussions reached hundreds of millions.
The media was in an uproar.
The central government's official media urgently interrupted the broadcast.
The host read the press release with a solemn expression.
"Our company has verified with the relevant departments that a large number of Great Xia citizens have indeed been taken hostage by the vampires, and the relevant departments are actively handling the situation."
Netizens simply didn't buy it.
What does "actively handle" mean?
They've already started killing people, and you're still actively dealing with it?
The comment section was filled with insults.
"Central waste"
"The relevant departments should go eat shit."
It filled the entire screen.
Officials from various provincial governments also followed suit.
Some have asked experts to analyze the motives of vampires.
Some asked retired generals to analyze the battle situation in the Northeast Prefecture.
Some also asked psychology experts to analyze Ye Feng's psychological state.
Needless to say, this applies to self-media as well.
All sorts of clickbait and sensational headlines are flying around.
