《Martial God Space》 Chapter 1 – Mysterious space Chapter 1 ¨C Mysterious space The Yi Yuan school, situated on top of the Qing Feng mountain, stretching an extreme length. It was now the midsummer season, in the sky, the sun slowly fell down, the setting sun drawing a long shadow. On thekeside of one ¨C not veryrge ¨C smallke sat an around seventeen or eighteen-year-old ck-clothed teenager grabbed a block of stone from thekeside and threw it out, immediately making several sshes in theke. Ye Xiwen was somewhat at a loss, he didn¡¯t expect he suddenly crossed through. Originally, Ye Xiwen was in 21st Century Earth and previously was only an ordinary university student. A month before, he finally epted the fact that he crossed through. As a matter of fact, it was not someone pranking him, rather he really crossed through. Being in this world for already over a month, he was slowly able to ept the fact that here was not Earth. Even though the local conditions and customs here resembled ancient China, he knew that here was not Earth, but was the Zhen Wu Jie world. This was a martial world, martial arts spawning countless years of history. In this world, martial arts spawned splendid civilisations. Formidable warrior practitioners reaching the apex can move mountains and drain seas, cut into mountains and split rock, even lifespan was prolonged indefinitely. Ye Xiwen¡¯s identity now was the Yi Yuan school elder¡¯s third son, but also an adopted son that the father, Ye Kongming, came back with eighteen years ago. Inside the school, this was not regarded as a secret. The Yi Yuan school was one of the Da Yue country¡¯s most rich and powerfulrge sects, as said by experts. But, located on top of the Qing Feng mountain was only one of the Yi Yuan school¡¯s branches amongst the Da Yue country¡¯s Yi Yuan schools. Those resembling the Yi Yuan school¡¯s branches were many, specialised to transport talents to Yi Yuan school¡¯s head school. Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation was only at the Houtian third stage, at his age this cultivation could only be considered ordinary. In Zhen Wu Jie, warriors stepping into martial arts begin at the Houtian first stage, continuously climbing until the Houtian ninth stage. As for above Houtian, it¡¯s Xiantian, as for how Xiantian was divided, Ye Xiwen just did not know. After all, the Yi Yuan school¡¯s school master¡¯s ability was at the Xiantian domain level. The Yi Yuan school altogether was divided into the outer sect, the inner sect, finally the core¡¯s third level was the core disciple level. The core disciple level, afterwards, were able to leave for the Yi Yuan school¡¯s head school to participate in an examination to enter the head school. The level of the Yi Yuan school¡¯s disciples wasn¡¯t really divided ording to age, rather it was divided ording to the strength of the Houtian nine mortal body domains. After cultivating to the domain level of the third stage, then you would be able to ascend to the inner sect from the outer sect. After cultivating to the fifth stage, then you were able to promote to the core. And if you wanted to participate in the Yi Yuan school¡¯s main school¡¯s examination, the minimum requirement was the seventh stage. The requirement can¡¯t be not high. Ye Xiwen predecessor¡¯s aptitude was average, this year he was eighteen years old, but his cultivation was just recently practiced to thete third stage. This kind of achievement, although not regarded as strange, can only merely be considered ordinary. Ye Xiwen, inside the Yi Yuan inner sect, was merely one very ordinary disciple among inner sect disciples. Though unlike respected core disciples, but also not resembling the generally low-status outer sect disciples. Plus his father was the Yi Yuan school¡¯s elder, thus he was still usually regarded as not bad. Only he did not receive too much attention. Ye Xiwen¡¯s predecessor¡¯s aptitude was too ordinary. The Houtiante third stage within inner sect disciples could only be considered intermediate, especiallypared with his two elder siblings. Even more so, his eldest brother, Ye Feng, was only twenty-one years old this year and was already at the Houtian peak eighth stage. Inside the school, he was super-talented. And his elder sister, Ye Ruxue was only a year older than him and had also already reached the Houtian seventh stage. In such a case, he certainly did not attract attention! ¡°Shasha!¡± Behind Ye Xiwen came a rustling sound in the woods. A fatty, seventeen or eighteen-year-old silk-clothed man jumped out from behind the bushes. Ye Xiwen¡¯s face exposed a bit of a smile. This man was called Wang Lie, he was a great close friend from childhood. His home was a rich household below the Qing Feng mountain in the town of Qing Feng and had a very close rtionship with the Yi Yuan school. Ever since Wang Lie was young, he was sent up the mountain for training. The two¡¯s rtionship was superb. Naturally, the two¡¯s talents were the same, Ye Xiwen was at thete third stage. Wang Lie,pared to Ye Xiwen, was stronger, at the peak third stage. This was a reason the two have been very close. ¡°It is already evening, you did not go back to rest. What did youe here to do?¡± Ye Xiwen asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s not being worried about you?¡± Wang Lie said smilingly. ¡°You were always acting strangetely, in real odd and weird ways!¡± ¡°Rest assured, nothing is the matter!¡± Ye Xiwen said. Nothing more than adapting from crossing over from Earth! ¡°You are at the critical time of breaking through to the fourth stage, and still not behind closed doors.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Houtian third stage can only be considered ordinary within the inner sect disciples, but Houtian fourth stage were the elite in the inner sect¡¯s disciples. Even if it was only a difference of one stage, the status was as different as heaven and earth. ¡°Hey, I came to try to find you just for this matter. I n to go behind closed doors, probably for a long time. But recently you have been acting in really odd and weird ways, I¡¯m a little worried.¡± Wang Jie looked somewhat anxious and said to Ye Xiwen. He grew up with Ye Xiwen since childhood. Although the two were always boisterous and frivolous, he was actually very concerned about his brother, and, of course, he never imaged that his brother had already been substituted. ¡°Go rest assured, what matter can I have?¡± Ye Xiwenughed, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, you go back first, I¡¯ll sit for a moment then go!¡± ¡°Good, do not bete, take care not toe across demon beasts!¡± Wang Lie urged. The Yi Yuan school was situated on the Qing Feng mountain, amongst the mountain were some very fierce demon beasts, these demon beasts all possessed the magical power of terrible beasts. Compared with ordinary beasts they were much stronger, only warriors had the ability to equal them. ¡°En, I know!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. Although he said that, here in the Yi Yuan school¡¯s local vicinity were no demon beasts. But it was also a troublesome thing in the case a formidable demon beast ran out and did not y by the rules and he¡¯d be crying and weeping without a ce to go. The demon beasts on this mountain were too many, he also had no alternative but to protect himself. The reason why the Yi Yuan school was situated on such a mountain was to intimidate the mountain¡¯s many demon beasts in order to avoid the demon beasts from descending the mountain to disturb the people. Although, it was impossible to block all demon beasts, always one or two escaped the. But the bottom of the mountain also had a dojo to practice martial arts to build up one¡¯s strength, and the warriors were also many, thus, it didn¡¯t matter. Because of this rtionship, the Yi Yuan school¡¯s disciples on the outside always received respect. Within twenty-five kilometres in this regard, wherever they walked they were respected at a nce. Wang Lie finished speaking, then turned around to depart. Although his build was plump, he was a martial artist after all. Moving gracefully, he rapidly disappeared into the thickets. Ye Xiwen sat for a moment, just on the verge of leaving when he suddenly caught a glimpse of theke, multi-coloured light rays burst crazily, covering theke for a split second, once more immediately recovering its tranquility. Ye Xiwen was very doubting, how were multi-coloured rays possible, could it be that some strange treasure was inside, thinking here, Ye Xiwen stood up somewhat excited. In the case that there was some strange treasure, then he would truly flourish. After deciding, Ye Xiwen abruptly dived into the water, submerging unceasingly. Regardless of his previous life or this life, Ye Xiwen¡¯s swimming ability was very good. Ye Xiwen slowly submerged, slowly approaching the centre of theke. This was actually a very ordinaryke, no demon beasts existed within the water. In such a location, the Yi Yuan school¡¯s experts had already eradicated them, therefore Ye Xiwen was not worried abouting across any dangerous demon beasts. Ye Xiwen opened his eyes to look, just seeing a small, multi-coloured ball of lightying calming inside the centre of theke. Yes, that¡¯s right. Ye Xiwen felt itying there. Ye Xiwen did not feel any danger, only thinking that it was very gentle. Immediately slowly diving,ing to its side. Ye Xiwen extended his hand, grabbing the ball of multi-coloured rays of light. Suddenly, the multi-coloured light rays issued a fierce, bright light. Instantly leaping inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body afterwards. Ye Xiwen was rmed, looking again, he saw that the multi-coloured ball of light at the centre of theke had already vanished. Ye Xiwen promptly surfaced, swimming to the shore, repeatedly gasping for air. Furthermore, still in somewhat of a panicked state. Inspecting his whole body he discovered it was not short of anything, easing him down. He used Zhen Qi to evaporate droplets of water. Just about to go back, Ye Xiwen suddenly discovered that a piece of dusky, special space appeared inside his mind. This was a very strange situation, obviously only in the Xiantian domain level can one look inside, looking at every vein in your own body. But it so happens that Ye Xiwen was able to sense the very mysterious space within his mind. Ye Xiwen found that as long as he held his breath, he could feel the presence of such a space. Ye Xiwen thought it was all too strange, also not daring to stay in thiske, he dashed all the way back at once, returning to the inside of his small courtyard. So much as without the time to greet his parents. Qing Feng mountain was iparably vast, and the area the Yi Yuan school covered was also unusually wide. Not much else but many houses. In addition, Ye Kongming was also an elder inside the Yi Yuan school, a high position of power. Ye Xiwen, after growing into adulthood, was separated to living in the small courtyard close to his parents¡¯ home. Ye Xiwen, still in a panicked state, returned inside his home. At this time, the sky was already pitch-ck. Ye Xiwen held his breath,pletely concentrating his attention. Immediately, that special space, appeared in Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind yet again. Ye Xiwen, not as usual, did not rx his mind, rather he continued to hold his breath. Suddenly, Ye Xiwen saw ck before his eyes, abruptly appearing inside a piece of chaos. Ye Xiwen was immediately with great rm, but he reacted quickly. Here was not an other ce, rather it was the piece of space inside his mind. In this period of time, he had seen it many times, so he quickly recognised it. It should be unlikely that he entirely came in, possibly a portion of his soul came in. But for what the use this space was, he currently did not know. But soon, Ye Xiwen quickly discovered a problem, he could not get out. There was simply no exit. No matter how he walked, in the midst of chaos, the surroundingndscape was also exactly the same. Chapter 2 – Houtian fourth stage! Chapter 2 ¨C Houtian fourth stage! Minutes and seconds passed, Ye Xiwen also abandoned the notion of going out, immediately somewhat discouraged. Should he not be able to cross over then he would be trapped here for a lifetime! Though, Ye Xiwen had not thought he was one to dominate the world, exceptional and peerless and so on. That was a twisted fiction, nothing more. His first thought was to protect himself, then he would go back with shame. He did not want to be trapped here for a lifetime. Again, a long time passed. Ye Xiwen was really very much bored. Without anything better to do, he began to practice his internal power. This world¡¯s martial power was divided into two parts: martial arts and internal power. He was now only at the Houtian third stage, still not yet the fourth stage. And in ordance with the school¡¯s rules within, those before the fourth stage weren¡¯t permitted to cultivate martial arts. The reason was very simple, martial arts cultivation in internal power was fundamental. In this life, there were no achievements without internal power, and before the third stage was the stage ofying foundations. He discovered that, apart from being trapped in here, the time and everything else was exactly the same as outside. In any case, only by maintaining his status quo, cultivating his internal power would he enhance his strength, not wasting his time in vain. He was now cultivating the set of power techniques called ¡°Bright Jade Power¡±, divided into tenyers altogether. Within the school, few were capable of cultivating all the way to the Xiantian domain level with internal power, but thanks to the status of elder Ye Kongming, Ye Xiwen had the ability to cultivate these set of power techniques. These set of power techniques was unusually gentle, the most gentle. He suddenly discovered that the insights of the ¡°Bright Jade Power¡± unexpectedly continuously surged into his mind. If the previous speed of insights flowed at the speed of a small stream, then the speed of Ye Xiwen¡¯s insights now was absolutely the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, continuously surging. Endless insights filled Ye Xiwen as if he were drunk and stupefied from handling the Zhen Qi over and over from cultivating the ¡°Bright Jade Power¡±. Not knowing how long passed until. ¡°Hong!¡± Ye Xiwen abruptly awakened, opening his eyes and finding himself surprisingly appearing inside his room and not in that chaotic space. The sky outside was already at the first glimmer of light. Ye Xiwen started, letting out a cold sweat. What that space just now only dreand? But the insights inside the chaotic space were extremely distinct, it was not likely fake. Suddenly, Ye Xiwen discovered, on his skinny body soaked in sweat, some ck impurities covered him all over. These were the hidden body¡¯s impurities. The Houtian ninth stage, each breakthrough, would discharge some impurities until it¡¯s been cleanly eliminated. After emptying it out of the body, it¡¯s possible to ess the Governing Vessel Meridian, going from Houtian to Xiantian. This was the phenomenon of breaking through one stage. How can this be, Ye Xiwen was endlessly shocked. Assessing himself, the case of him breaking through to the Houtian fourth stage needed about less than half a year, at the very least. But in the period of a night spent in the chaos he surprising already practiced to the fourth stage. It was no wonder, ording to the predecessor¡¯s memories, even if the ordinary ¡°Bright Jade Power¡± was practiced, it was difficult to have a bit of insight. But just in the time of practicing ¡°Bright Jade Power¡± inside the space, great amounts of insights and information rushed forth into his mind. In reality, the rate was deduced to be far more than one hundred times faster. If this was the case, with the assistance of this special space, learning any martial arts was no longer secret in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes. By practicing inside this special space, Ye Xiwen was able to very quickly grasp the essence of learning martial arts! Ye Xiwen sted his fist outwards, immediately shaking the air, rupturing and vibrating it. Power wandered in his body, the power of the whole body was no longer dispersed in the body like the past, rather twisted into a Jin,pared with before, it simply couldn¡¯t be mentioned in the same breath. Amongst the Houtian nine domains, first stage warriors st a punch of twenty-five kilograms, second stage was fifty kilograms, the third stage was one hundred kilograms, and breaking through to the fourth stage, they can raise two hundred and fifty kilograms in one breath. Houtian fourth stage was the first divide in the water. After reaching the Houtian fourth stage, their strength reached two hundred and fifty kilograms. That was the power of a fierce tiger, extremely bold and powerful. Sect disciples within the Yi Yuan school were not restricted in cultivating any kind of power technique at all because the power techniques inside the Yi Yuan school, in itself, were extraordinarily many. Each disciple can find a power technique that suits them. Even obtaining outside power techniques were not prohibited. Instead, thinking that it¡¯s only the disciple¡¯s lucky chance. More importantly, after his mortal body passed through that multicoloured brilliance and transformed, his meridians expanded a countless numbers of time. If Ye Xiwen¡¯s meridians before were a small creek, then after transforming, the meridians were the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, the Zhen Qi endlessly rushing within. Like this, Ye Xiwen¡¯s single day of cultivation was above other people¡¯s result of many days of cultivation. The might of ordinary power techniques and the amount of Zhen Qi send out in a split second also had a direct rtionship. Ye Xiwen¡¯s meridians were much wider than an average person, the same moves in Ye Xiwen¡¯s hands were much more powerful than other people. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength now directly broke through to two hundred and eighty-five kilograms. Ye Xiwen suddenly rejoiced, with the assistance of this special space he could possibly rise above others, bing outstanding. Thinking here, Ye Xiwen tarried no longer, forthwith cing a piece of quartzite and sitting down cross-legged. Holding his breath, sure enough, that mysterious space appeared once more, but this time, no matter how Ye Xiwenpletely concentrated his attention he could not go into that space. Ye Xiwen was somewhat baffled, how could this be. He could enter a moment ago and now he can no longer enter. Suddenly, Ye Xiwen discovered his body¡¯s Zhen Qi was unexpectedlypletely cleanly consumed, nowhere to be seen. Suddenly with great rm, just now his Zhen Qi was still full, how could it abruptly disappear. ¡°I understand!¡± Ye Xiwen suddenly said, he immediately thought that he should he practice power techniques inside this space, you had to consume Zhen Qi, or energy. This was the only way to exin why he could not enter that space now, but also how he suddenly came out of that space just now. It¡¯s precisely because of its rtionship with exhausting Zhen Qi. Inside the courtyard, Ye Xiwen took out all his belongings. Ten low-grade spirit stones, which were all of Ye Xiwen¡¯s belongings. These crystals in this world were known as spirit stones, every piece of spirit stone contained a considerably strong Spiritual Qi. Divided into low-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones. Warriors could absorb spirit stones into Spiritual Qi to cultivate. It can also replenish your Zhen Qi for a short time. If this space to deduce power techniques indeed expends energy, then using spirit stones was also possible. Ye Xiwen absorbed the spirit stones into Spiritual Qi, sessfully transforming into his Zhen Qi, holding his breath afterwards. That single special space appeared once again, Ye Xiwen continued to hold his breath, sure enough, like Ye Xiwen thought, he entered that space in one move. Chapter 3 – Library pavilion Chapter 3 ¨C Library pavilion However, the difference was thatst time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole spirit entered into that space, hepletely could not feel his body¡¯s state. But now he could simultaneously sense his outside body¡¯s state, the feeling was like two hearts and souls, the two simultaneously the same. Ye Xiwen also did not waste time, forthwith exercising control inside the special space via telepathy to cultivate ¡°Bright Jade Power¡±. Immediately, countless information suddenly swarmed his mind. In reality, his cultivation was breaking through again and again. Ye Xiwen immediately exulted, apparently, his guess was not wrong. Ye Xiwen stopped,ing out from inside that mysterious space, putting aside the cultivation of ¡°Bright Jade Power¡±. There was now an important thing that needed to be done. This was choosing a martial art. A warrior, if not having learned a martial art, how would they be regarded as a warrior. Especially when fighting with enemies, not learning martial arts simply won¡¯t do. Those only having internal power and not martial art can only end up being oppressed by people. The sky was already bright. Ye Xiwen freshened himself up, leaving from inside his parents¡¯ courtyard to eat breakfast. This was the Ye family¡¯s custom. Even if the Ye family¡¯s three children already grown into adults and moved out. It¡¯s no problem even if you are not at home, the family¡¯s three meals are inevitably eaten together. Ye Xiwen arrived, his parents and elder siblings were already present, waiting for him. ¡°Last night you did note to eat dinner, where have you been?¡± Ye Kongming asked. Ye Kongming¡¯s appearance was a solemn and respectful middle-aged man. ¡°This child went to cultivate!¡± Naturally, Ye Xiwen did not dare to expose the matter of the mysterious space, ¡°I must tell father the good news!¡± (tl; º¢¶ù = child) A strange look shed through Ye Kongming¡¯s eyes, asking: ¡°What good news?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, quickly speak little brother, what good news!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s elder sister, Ye Ruxue asked hastily. She was born with a baby-face, although already over twenty years old, she was like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, looking younger than Ye Xiwen. The elder brother, Ye Feng, hearing that, also turned to look towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Feng¡¯s features strikingly resembled Ye Kongming, as if a younger version of Ye Kongming. Apanied by smart-looking white garments, he looked iparably natural and unrestrained. The three brothers and sisters differed not much in age. Growing up together since childhood, their affection for each other are superb. Ye Xiwen¡¯s mother, Xia Chunxue, although already over forty years old, bringing up children for many years, plus equipped with martial power; in the face of techniques, it would appear that she was only in her early twenties. Merely looking at her family with a smile. Even if Ye Xiwen was only an adopted son, in her heart, they didn¡¯t differ in any from parent and child. ¡°I want to learn a martial art!¡± Ye Xiwen uttered with a smile. ¡°Learning a martial art, you broke through to the fourth stage?¡± Ye Kongming nkly stared, then reacted and said. Sweeping Ye Xiwen with a nce again, he suddenly understood. ¡°Not bad!¡± Ye Kongming did not think anything of it. After all, Ye Xiwen was originally at thete third stage in strength. Breaking through to the fourth stage now was nothing strange. Only, it had absolutely not urred to him that Ye Xiwen broke through from thete third stage to the fourth stage overnight. Xia Chunxue also smiled and nodded. Although he merely broke through from the Houtian third stage to the Houtian fourth stage, every bit of Ye Xiwen¡¯s progress made her very happy. The whole family was very happy, also not thinking anything of it because both Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue¡¯s speed of breaking through was much faster than Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen¡¯s breakthrough was very normal at this time. ¡°Wait a moment to eat, I think this child should go to the library pavilion to choose a martial art.¡± Ye Xiwen said with a smile, ording to the Yi Yuan school¡¯s rules, after breaking through to the Houtian fourth stage, then can you advance to the library pavilion to choose one martial art book. But only the primary martial arts. The selection of martial arts was free, and only this first time. Afterward, in the case you still wanted to learn any martial powers, then you must exchange credits. All school sects possess these credits, generally with a variety of contributions or Heavenly material treasures to exchange. ¡°En, go ahead, but you must choose this martial art well, now you are still at the stage ofying foundations. It is impossible to choose too many martial arts. So, for a very long period of time, you will use this sect¡¯s martial arts.¡± Ye Kongming stated. Learning to practice a sect¡¯s martial arts from beginning to end to the culmination will take an average person a little over ten years. Even if only primary martial arts, even a genius would also need a year or two. Ye Kongming¡¯s meaning of biting off more than one can chew in practicing the sect¡¯s martial arts to the culmination should not be underestimated. If you haven¡¯t cultivated to the peak by learning unceasingly, ultimately you are only biting off more than you can chew. Everything would be all loose. Ye Xiwen nodded and said: ¡°This child knows!¡± Ye Xiwen knew Ye Kongming¡¯s experienced words of nning were for his own good. Regarding the reason of biting off more than he can chew, he also knew. ¡°This child has one more thing to say.¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Speak!¡± Ye Kongming floated a smile on his face, Ye Xiwen broke through, he was very d in his heart. ¡°The next time, this child wants to enter the back of the Qing Feng mountain to cultivate to consolidate my domain levels as soon as possible, but also to temper martial art!¡± Ye Xiwen dered. Ye Xiwen wanted to cultivate internal power at a quiet ce. However, with martial arts, he still had to fight to be able to understand its essence to improve at a flying speed. Let alone, in the event that he wanted to use that mysterious space to cultivate, like that, no other people could see. ¡°Okay!¡± Ye Kongming nodded. Even if he was somewhat worried, Ye Feng and Xie Ruxue broke through the fourth stage at that time, also entering into the Qing Feng mountain to cultivate. At that time, their age was much lower than Ye Xiwen. After eating breakfast, the sky was alreadypletely bright. Ye Xiwen left to go inside the Yi Yuan school¡¯s library pavilion alone. The library pavilion was one of the Yi Yuan school¡¯s most important ces because these secret books represent what was inherited in the Yi Yuan school. The Yi Yuan school was able to tower over Qing Feng mountain for several hundred years all by relying on these secret books in order to ensure the Yi Yuan school¡¯s unending inheritance. It was still early when Ye Xiwen arrived at the library pavilion, and as usual, the doorway of the library pavilion only had one elderly jade-clothed man reclining in a rocking chair, reading an old, yellowing book very leisurely. Ye Xiwen¡¯s predecessor often came into the library pavilion before, not only did the library pavilion have secret books, inside the library pavilion¡¯s first floor were some of each country¡¯s geographical records, news of marvelous secrets and the like. There were every kind of books, which included countless rtions to cultivation. The irrelevant content, Ye Xiwen¡¯s predecessor frequently came here to borrow books in this aspect. These many yearster, Ye Xiwen was well-read, many of the previous generation¡¯s warriors estimated that what they knew was much more inferior to Ye Xiwen. When Ye Xiwen crossed over, in order to fully understand this world¡¯s state of affairs as quickly as possible, he came here a bit. Therefore, right here was also not unfamiliar! Chapter 4 – Choosing a power technique Chapter 4 ¨C Choosing a power technique The second floor and above was pertaining to martial study. The library pavilion was altogether divided into five floors: inside the first floor were some light reading books, inside the second floor were some primary power techniques, inside the third floor was intermediate power techniques, inside the fourth floor, was advanced power techniques, and put inside the fifth floor were the Yi Yuan school¡¯s few number of Xiantian level power techniques. Over all these years, Ye Xiwen did not know what the name of the other person was, everyone only called him Old Mo. Although he did not know his identity, it was assumed that he was a senior inside the Yi Yuan school. Therefore, every time Ye Xiwen saw him, he was very respectful. ¡°Did youngster Yee? What book did youe to read? ssic history or geography?¡± Old Mo put down the book, saying with apletely kindly smile. His impression of Ye Xie Wen was very good. Not only modest and polite, but more importantly the people wishing to calm their mind by reading were very few nowadays. The younger generations seemed to be very fickle and impatient. (С×Ó = youngster / young fellow / way to address yourself to elders) ¡°Old Mo, I am here today to borrow a martial arts type of book!¡± Ye Xiwen dered. ¡°Martial arts?¡± Old Mo¡¯s eyes shed an indescribable radiance, ¡°You crossed to the fourth stage?¡± ¡°Not bad, not bad, hahaha!¡± Old Moughed heartily without restraint, truly treating Ye Xiwen as a nephew. ¡°Since you are to choose a power technique, you just must not be greedy for more training, it is vital for your own good!¡± Old Mo said. Although, he would say that to every disciple who came here to choose secret books. With Ye Xiwen, he was actually exceptionally serious. Many young people starting always wanted to learn this and that, unable to pay attention. Even some people believed themselves to have absolute natural gifts, totally able to learn. The oue of the final results could only be like painting a tiger from a dog, barely learning in a superficial way. In that case, it was instead not equal to those people only specialising in one of the sect¡¯s martial arts. ¡°Many thanks for Old Mo¡¯s reminder, this youngster will certainly keep it in mind!¡± Ye Xiwen believed Old Mo¡¯s words to be deep and bowed deeply to express thanks. Training by reading a book was not like reaching Heaven in a single bound. When reading books before, Ye Xiwen pursued to finish reading a book then pass on to start reading another book. In this case, the same was surely possible to finish reading a lot of books in this time. But Ye Xiwen was much more transparent those people learning many books at the same time. ¡°Well, this old man won¡¯t say anymore, go in and take a look.¡± Old Mo waved his hand,ying on the rocking chair, looking at the book again. Ye Xiwen entered into the library pavilion, already thinking this Old Mo was deep and immeasurable. Of course referring to his identity. What kind of important ce was the Yi Yuan school¡¯s library pavilion? How could they casually send this poor old man to guard over it, not even a guard. But Ye Xiwen was anxious to find out this world¡¯s circumstances,ing and going every time in a hurry. As a result, he did look near Old Mo¡¯s body with effort. But looking now, he still looked like an ordinary old man. However, how could this ordinary old man possibly be sent to over to the library pavilion with no other guards, indicating a very high level of trust with Old Mo. Then there was only one possibility. Old Mo¡¯s strength was simply unfathomable, so high to the degree others were simply unable to see. Moreover, a high status could also expected. It just wasn¡¯t known why, with such a high status, he would willingly guard over the library pavilion. Even though the library pavilion in the Yi Yuan school was a very important ce, in the end it didn¡¯t have much real power. But Ye Xiwen did not go reflect on it. In any case, he was not an enemy, on the contrary, Old Mo had an unusually good opinion of him. The Yi Yuan school¡¯s library pavilion¡¯s collection of books were many, but categorically put away. Amongst were at least the two kinds, foundation and Xiantian. Since Xiantian level martial arts were hard to obtain, and foundation martial arts were not necessarily many. Fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, other types and so on, were, in any case, merely foundations. Genuinely confronting an enemy in the future, the probability of using foundation martial arts was very low and the body would not survive so much. Foundation martial arts. Nearly grasping the several types, nothing more than some basic sword techniques, basic fist techniques and the like. Therefore, Ye Xiwen would still look towards primary martial arts, amongst these, the most profound was without a doubt the Rushing Thunder Hand. He had seen his elder brother, Ye Feng, cultivate the Rushing Thunder Hand before. It had left him a profound impression. The Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s maximum speed was quick. Extraordinarily quick. The power was also extraordinarily great. But although it was primary, by practicing it to the culmination, the power was not quite weak. By practicing the Rushing Thunder Hand to the peak, every punch would trigger nine thunder sounds, the nine Rushing Thunder echoes. Ye Xiwen did not stay on the first floor, rather directly going up to the second floor. Only seeing a visible membrane inside the staircase between the second and first floor. Ye Xiwen prated through, only feeling a resistance obstructing Ye Xiwen from going up. But Ye Xiwen still went up very smoothly. Ye Xiwen knew that this membrane¡¯s strength was not enough to prevent disciples from insisting on rushing up. Although he came up with no difficulty, he knew that this membrane was an ingenious instation. Those having the Houtian fourth stage or higher would not be unimpeded. Those without the strength of the Houtian fourth stage could not go up. Ye Xiwen was very interested in the Rushing Thunder Hand. Hence, and he quickly found the Rushing Thunder Hand. Looking up, the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s greatest characteristic was its unbreakable speed. Ye Xiwen already selected. Opening the Rushing Thunder Hand secret book and memorising the contents. The secret books are not to be taken out of here, but you could copy it. Ye Xiwen did not bring over a pen and paper, so memorising was also permitted. Anyways, copying the secret books back to back, as a result, many people simply chose to go back after that. Then in less than half an hour, Ye Xiwen memorised the secret book. After that, putting down the Rushing Thunder Hand secret book, he didn¡¯t continue to read, rather directly going down the stairs, out the library pavilion as well. Old Mo was still leisurely looking at the ancient book. Seeing Ye Xiwene out, he smiled and said: ¡°Chose well?¡± Ye Xiwen nodded and spoke: ¡°En, this youngster chose the ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡± !¡± ¡± ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡± ? That secret book is pretty good.¡± Old Mo said, ¡°That secret book¡¯s might is also pretty good. Only it is a palm technique secret book. You have to find an opportunity to choose a weaponry secret book or when fighting with people, you will lose!¡± ¡°En!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°If you want to specialise cultivating other palm techniques or fist techniques and the like, at the very least cultivate the ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡± to six echoes or higher. A variety of martial arts are not equal to a specialised one. The truth of biting off more than you can chew I think you know.¡± ¡°Many thanks for directing me, Old Mo!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Please excuse this youngster!¡± ¡°Go!¡± Old Mo looked at Ye Xiwen and dered. Immediately proceeding to look his yellowing ancient book again,ying on the rocking chair with a rxed appearance just like before. Ye Xiwen knew he was always like that, also not minding, he turned around then went back to his courtyard. Chapter 5 – Rushing Thunder Nine Echoes Chapter 5 ¨C Rushing Thunder Nine Echoes In the courtyard, Ye Xiwen took out all his possessions. Ten low-grade spirit stones. These were all of Ye Xiwen¡¯s possessions. After absorbing the spirit stones into Spiritual Qi, it transformed into Zhen Qi. Then holding his breath, that single special space emerged once again. Ye Xiwen continued to hold his breath. Really like Ye Xiwen thought he would, he went into that space in one fell swoop. Ye Xiwen also did not waste time, straightaway beginning to telepathically control the special space to deduce the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s essence. Suddenly, a myriad of information immediately surged into his mind. Ye Xiwen immediately felt joy, it seemed that his guess was not incorrect. Not only could internal power be practiced, even martial arts was no exception. Deconstructing the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s essence over and over again absent-mindedly was simr to moving clouds and flowing water,ing and going in the mind. Ye Xiwen began to practice the Rushing Thunder Hand. The Rushing Thunder Hand had: Pass Like Thunder and Move Like The Wind, Lightning and Thunder, Ghostly Thunder Axe, and the Leveling Storm Four Strokes. Although there were a small number of moves, it was easy to learn but difficult to master. It was very difficult to practice to the peak. ¡°Honglonglong!¡± Ye Xiwen shot his palms out, very quickly practicing the whole Rushing Thunder Hand one time. Ye Xiwen issued the Rushing Thunder Hand over and over, suddenly finding insights regarding the Rushing Thunder Hand surprisingly welling up in his mind. If his insight speed previously was at the speed of a small stream, then Ye Xiwen¡¯s speed of insights now were absolutely like the Yangtze and Yellow River, gushing ceaselessly. ¡°Honglong!¡± ¡°Honglong!¡± ¡°Honglong!¡± Not knowing how long had passed, Ye Xiwen sent out each palm, even with a somewhat faint sound of thunder. Clearly, the Rushing Thunder Hand had already been practiced to an extent to visibly appear. ¡°Pass Like Thunder and Move Like The Wind!¡± Ye Xiwen lightly shouted. The right hand seemed like it sent out lightning, producing an almost muffled sound as the palm hit the block of hard quartzite. Suddenly, that quartzite suddenly scattered from the hit, so much that more than half of it directly changed into a fine powder. Ye Xiwen looked at both of his hands, saying somewhat incredibly: ¡°I did not expect to deduce just a small part of the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s essence. Actually able to issue the second echo. Continuing to deduce it, it¡¯s hard to say if I might really be able to issue nine echoes in a month!¡± He knew this set of Rushing Thunder Hand was easy to learn but difficult to master. But in this short time, by relying on the understanding of the special space, he actually sessfully broke through to the extent of the second echo. The Rushing Thunder Hand was easy to learn but difficult to master, generally, cultivating it to issue the second echo would take more than a year for experienced people. To go as far as issuing out the ninth echo, many people practicing for a lifetime could not achieve this. A crackling and rattling sound came from Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, from Ye Xiwen¡¯s body a few ck impurities, along with sweat, gradually discharged from his body. His mortal body was even more pure. Ye Xiwen discovered, along with breaking the Rushing Thunder Hand through to the second echo, his own strength even increased. Ye Xiwen immediately delighted, throwing out a punch, striking the air with an exploding crackle and rattle. His strength, from the original two hundred and eighty-five kilograms, actually broke through to three hundred and fifteen kilograms. An increase of a full thirty kilograms. He didn¡¯t expect the difference between each of the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s echoes was this much. The Houtian fourth stage was the first divide in the water. After reaching the Houtian fourth stage, strength reached two hundred and fifty kilograms. That was the power of a fierce tiger, extremely ferocious and mighty. But to the Houtian fifth stage, strength rapidly rose, reaching five-hundred kilograms. The power of two tigers. He didn¡¯t expect that after practicing to the second echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand that his strength would rise this much. Most people¡¯s cultivation would not have this much of an effect because they all break throughyer byyer. But Ye Xiwen was different. He broke through in one night. Thus, the increase in strength was particrly pronounced. ¡ª¡ª ¡°Honglonglong!¡± The sky was slightly bright, the sun rising. Ye Xiwen was located inside the small courtyard. Ye Xiwen was not tired while continuously drilling the Rushing Thunder Hand, already practicing the Rushing Thunder Hand for the whole night. Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm technique to palm technique was perfectly unbroken. As if a river flowing unhindered. Because of the practice at the special space, Ye Xiwen cultivated the palm technique like moving clouds and flowing water. Casually grasping it, as if it was extremely familiar and ordinary. (tl; clouds and water ¨C natural and unforced) Ye Xiwen, with not one thread loose, issued the Rushing Thunder Hand. Inside the whole courtyard were rumbles simr to themon sound of thunder. Another Rushing Thunder Hand was issued downwards. Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body was drenched, dripping. His body had steam rising and rising, almost the same as curling clouds and mists. Each time Ye Xiwen issued the Rushing Thunder Hand once, Zhen Qi ran through his body. Ye Xiwen¡¯s Qi and blood was even more vigorous, increasing strength by a lot. At first, the effect was extremely pronounced, each time Ye Xiwen issued the Rushing Thunder Hand once, the body¡¯s strength increased by half a kilogram, the effect getting more and more weaker afterward. Every ten times the Rushing Thunder Hand was issued, strength nearly increased by half a kilogram. Three dayster, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength once more increased by one hundred and twenty kilograms, to four hundred and thirty-five kilograms! ¡°Lightning and Thunder!¡± Ye Xiwen greatly roared. The palm technique unexpectedly issued four thunderstorm sounds. In other words, three dayster, he even practiced to the addition of two echoes. The immense thunderstorm sound was no different from the time at the special space. One! Two! Three! Four! Ye Xiwen easily issued the fourth echo. The original barrier impeding progress, at the moment, seemed to not exist. Generally, even if you practice issuing the Rushing Thunder Hand one time, it was difficult to have a little bit of insights. But just in the time of practicing the Rushing Thunder Hand within the space, a great amount of insights and information rushed into the mind. In reality, the deduction speed was a hundred times faster. But as for the w. It also had one, that was the extreme rate of consuming spirit stones. Cultivating the Rushing Thunder Hand to the degree of the fourth echo used up the ten spirit stones that were collected with great difficulty. Without a doubt, the effect was exceptionally good. Ye Xiwen would absolutely not give up. Now Ye Xiwen extremely needed spirit stones. But now his spirit stones were already entirely cleanly use up. Though, Ye Kongming over yonder ought to have many spirit stones, after all, it was Zhen Wu Jie¡¯s hard currency. Not only could it be used for cultivation, it could also be treated as currency. But there was nothing to be done, Ye Kongming exined. After all, in normal circumstances it was impossible to use up these spirit stones in a short time. Up until now, Ye Xiwen have no choice but to stop because he alreadypletely exhausted the ten low-grade spirit stones to deduce the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s essence. The spirit stones had no Spiritual Qi and also turned into a pile of fine white powder. Very quickly, Ye Xiwen made a decision. To go into the back of the Qing Feng mountain to steel himself. The Yi Yuan school was situated inside the Qing Feng mountain. On the mountain were some very fierce demon beasts. These demon beasts all possessed the magical power of terrible beasts. And most importantly, if he wanted to deduce the essence of all kinds of martial arts, he also needed to go kill demon beasts to get crystal stones. That special space inside his mind greatly consumed the crystal stones. Chapter 6 – Power of two tigers Chapter 6 ¨C Power of two tigers ¡°Pass Like Thunder and Move Like The Wind!¡± Inside a mountain stream¡¯s small grove, a distinct chilly shout exploded, suddenly echoing. In the woods, a silhouette traveled back a forth, striking out palm and palm again, making a brilliant sound, but also with bursts of thunderous roars. ¡°Peng!¡± A sound muffled. Wood shavings swirled in the air. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared at the ce being hit. Also, a ¡®kua ca¡¯ sounded. That tree copsed ordingly. The four forms of the Rushing Thunder Hand. Ye Xiwen had already practiced it exceptionally proficiently. Casually grasping it without any obstruction, five days had passed in a sh. Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body¡¯s strength had already reached four hundred and ny-seven and a half kilograms, a bit of a difference to break through to five hundred kilograms to attain the power of two tigers. Generally, only fifth rank warriors had the ability to reach the power of two tigers, but Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was already closing into the power of two tigers. He was able to sense it, breaking through from the fourth stage was not far. As a result of his strength already drawing near to the power of two tigers, in addition, Ye Xiwen¡¯s Rushing Thunder Hand had finally reached six echoes! In these five days, his progress was nothing less thanrge. So much to expertly sweep across the Houtian fourth stage. But this was still not enough. It was far from enough! Ye Xiwen issued the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s style over and over, practicing this martial art. The fourth stage and fifth stage were divides in the water. The strength, five-hundred kilograms, was an immense divide in the water. A warrior¡¯s strength of five-hundred kilograms. A warrior that was possessing the power of two tigers could effortlessly defeat a good several warriors possessing a strength of four-hundred-and-ny-nine and a half kilograms. Because when a person¡¯s strength suddenly increased by two hundred and fifty kilograms, then not only was it barely the same as the body¡¯s strength being branched into the hundreds of bones in the four limbs of the body, rather strength was condensed into a portion of energy. No longer dispersed, growing and multiplying without end, endlessly. Might would increase several times in a sh, having changes the same as the heaven and earth turning upside down. (tl; ÉúÉú²»Ï¢£¬Ô´Ô´²»¾ø, I want to get this right, not sure if it¡¯s entirely correct though) And after a person¡¯s strength increased to five-hundred kilograms alone, then a second Jin woulde to be. A lot stronger than an echo of before. Ye Xiwen issued the Rushing Thunder Hand once again, producing seven muffled rumbling noises in one go. ¡°Peng!¡± One more time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s shooting palm burst the air, already soaked in sweat from head to toe as if water was fished out from inside. The muscles were sore and numb all over, constantly twitching, seeming like they already persevered to the limit. Ye Xiwen clenched his teeth, throwing off the sweat that nearly dripped into his eye. The whole body was tingling and powerless, but he knew the more this was, the more he could not give up. The Qing Feng Yi Yuan school, although only a branch of the Yi Yuan school¡¯s head school, this Yi Yuan school was carved from every kind of very enriching ancient book or record, which also had thorough and detailed ways to break through written down. The key of breaking through lied in how to achieve growing and multiplying without end, endlessly. When the mortal body was its most fatigued, without rest, it gave birth to new strength, forming a cycle, endless. ¡°Ss...¡± Ye Xiwen split the corners of his mouth, without pausing, issuing the Rushing Thunder Hand down again. The silhouette unceasingly shuttled back and forth in the jungle, every gesture and form was meticulous. Not knowing how long had passed, Ye Xiwen¡¯s silhouette halted. A palm burst out the gathered thunder-shaped Zhen Qi, making a cracking sound. ¡°Honglonglong!¡± ¡°Honglonglong!¡± ... ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm unexpectedly issued seven exploding thunderous sounds. Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body¡¯s muscles began to throb, bones started to collide, crackling and rattling. His old strength was at its limit, new strength involuntarily appeared to be born. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had made a breakthrough once again, twisting into a Jin, reaching the power of two tigers. The strength had a full to bursting type of improvement. Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation also pushed the boat with the current, breaking through to reach the peak fourth stage. (taking advantage of the situation for one¡¯s benefit) Although, it was only barely the peak fourth stage, but Ye Xiwen achieved the seventh echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand by relying on the power of two tigers as well. Even Houtian fifth stage warriors were no match for him. Suddenly, inside that piece of jungle ahead, a subtle ¡®rustling¡¯ sound was heard. After that, a huge, more than two metre tall hog, its whole body covered in monstrously long thorns, made huffing and puffing sounds from its nose,ing from grinding its way from inside the jungle. Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind immediately shivered, this was a Houtian fifth stage demon beast, Arrow Hog. Its greatest weapon were the long thorns densely covering its upper and lower body, able to spray it out whening across danger. If you¡¯re not careful, then you would be shot into a hedgehog. The Arrow Hog¡¯s coarse leather and thick flesh were very difficult to deal with. By attacking with its strong pair of lengthy tusks, it could directly kill a tiger through its head. Only one Arrow Hog hade out, its little eyes firmly breathing down Ye Xiwen¡¯s neck. In one footstep, its body¡¯s muscles suddenly tensed up. In a moment, dozens of long thorns simr to arrowsunched towards Ye Xiwen, hiding the sky and covering the earth. Ye Xiwen was somewhat gloomy. He also did not knowing what was going on with this brute, but he probably shadow-boxed too earnestly just a moment ago, not paying too much attention, then intruded into this Arrow Hog¡¯s territory. But Ye Xiwen¡¯s actions were not slow, in under a step, Zhen Qi ruptured under his foot. As lithe as a swallow, he flew in midair, dodging an overwhelming majority of the long thorns, blowing away another several long thorns. This Arrow Hog saw that its attack did not show results, in spite of everything it dashed over at a flying speed,pletely different to its entirely cumbersome and thick and solid external. The speed was extremely quick. The lengthy tusks arched upwards, going to directly bore through Ye Xiwen¡¯s head. In midair, Ye Xiwen¡¯s left foot pointed to his right foot, twisting his body, changing direction. Barely avoiding the danger of the Arrow Hog¡¯s tusks. Ye Xiwen just fell to the ground, that Arrow Hog was like a small mountain, its body then came over to crush him, not giving Ye Xiwen a thread of a chance to breathe. Ye Xiwen coldly snorted. Having not fallen back, in one step a portion of Zhen Qi exploded out. Figure like an arrow, heid out a palm, seeming to be wrapped in curling clouds and mist. Lightning and Thunder. The rumbling sound was ear-splitting. In an instant, Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm passed through the middle of Arrow Hog covered in densely packed long thorns, ruthlessly pushing to the other end of the Arrow Hog¡¯s body. Void Cloud Energy bursting open, Ye Xiwen¡¯s power of two tiger¡¯s strengthpletely ruptured. ¡°Peng!¡± This Arrow Hog had its fleshcerated from corporeal punishment by Ye Xiwen, several ribs were broken, giving a repeated pitifully shriek. The body like a small mountain continuously recoiled away from Ye Xiwen. There was nothing it could do if Zhen Qi seized the Arrow Hog¡¯s coarse leather and thick flesh. Not to mention that this was a Houtian fifth stage demon beast and Ye Xiwen was only at the peak fourth stage. But Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had long already broke through to the power of two tigers earlier, not at all smaller than the Arrow Hog beast. Plus the Rushing Thunder Hand had reached the degree of seven echoes. One palm, only a hit of one palm bruised andcerated the Arrow Hog beast, fracturing ribs, giving an endless blood-curdling screech. Chapter 7 – Earth Heart fruit Chapter 7 ¨C Earth Heart fruit Ye Xiwen did not think that his palm would actually be able to strike through the Arrow Hog beast¡¯s coarse leather and thick flesh, sending flesh and blood flying. The seventh echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand really was formidable. The previous fourth echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand and the seventh echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand simply did not have anyparison. ¡°Ang!¡± The Arrow Hog beast roared, exceeding expectation and not rushing over, rather turning then running. Although Arrow Hog beasts¡¯ IQ were almost like a usual beast,pared with humans, it¡¯s a difference between heaven and earth. But when confronted with the choice of life or death, they were even more unwavering than humankind instead. Unexpectedly, the Arrow Hog beast actually chose to flee. The lower the demon beasts¡¯ level, the lower the IQ. Therefore, this kind of change was contrary to expectations. The Arrow Hog beast, although looking very clumsy in appearance, but, in fact, it possessed, what many people didn¡¯t expect, a skill of sensitivity. In not a while, it¡¯s figure disappeared into the jungle. Where would Ye Xiwen let the other party run away? Raising the body¡¯s internal power, Zhen Qi exploded under the feet, his body technique was used to its pinnacle, as if a figure like a phantom flickering through the sea of clouds, in only a moment of effort, overtaking the Arrow Hog beast. Ye Xiwen followed the Arrow Hog beast all the way out of the woods toe on top of a piece of open space. On the side of the open space was a precipice, a horizontal block ofrge stone, unexpectedly with a three Cun high nt. This nt consisted of six green leaves surrounding and protecting a scarlet red fruit, emitting a faint fruity fragrance. A fifty-year-old Earth Heart fruit that was grown from collecting the heaven and earth¡¯s Elemental Qi under the spirit of the earth. Ye Xiwen recalled seeing the record of this type of herbal medicine. An excellent method at increasing the internal power, the main ingredient of a medicine. Generally speaking, a fifty-year-old Earth Heart fruit¡¯s excellent medicine could increase five years of internal power. It could be said to be extremely precious. Ye Xiwen suddenly clearly understood why this Arrow Hog beast had such arge enmity with him from the beginning, it should have been mistaken that Ye Xiwen appeared here to fight over the Earth Heart fruit. Precious Heavenly material treasure, not just humans know, demon beasts, although not high in spiritual wisdom, also knew that after waiting until the Earth Heart fruit waspletely ripe, then it would tumble down. This Arrow Hog beast had already waited for a very long time. Ye Xiwen unfolded the Phantom Cloud Track, pursuing in a moment, turning the body in the air, pressing down a palm. ¡°Peng!¡± The Rushing Thunder Hand was fully used to the peak by Ye Xiwen, each palm was thunderous. Even if a Houtian fourth stage warrior contending against the palm would be seriously injured. Fortunately, this Arrow Hog¡¯s skin was coarse and its flesh was thick, too far for an ordinary Houtian fourth stage warrior to match. Otherwise, it would have already been beaten dead by Ye Xiwen. But even so, enduring Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm, the Arrow Hog beast¡¯s directly pped vertebra had snapped off. ¡°Hou!¡± The Arrow Hog beast screamed, its huge body crashing to the ground, twitching endlessly. Where would Ye Xiwen let this opportunity slip by, grabbing the air when the palm of his gave a direct hit to the skull, cracking it. Blood mixed together with brains sttering out. The Arrow Hog beast breathlessly screamed. Ye Xiwen was immediately somewhat incredulous, a Houtian fifth stage demon beast actually took three palms to be beaten dead. This was absolutely unthinkable in the past. Generally, demon beasts on the same level as other warriors were more formidable. Now it was not even a match to his three palms. This made him, with regards to being inside the school for over a month,rger than confident. Ye Xiwen did not have politeness, cutting open this enormous Arrow Hog beast¡¯s body, digging out the demon core. This kind of demon core that was the location of the source of its life essence was the most valuable, however, it was only a Houtian fifth stage demon core. But at the very least its value was also twenty low-grade spirit stones. It was also because of this that demon beasts¡¯ demon cores were so valuable, consequently more and more people went hunting demon beasts every year. But many of them could only be used as the demon beasts¡¯ rations, buried in the beasts¡¯ mouths. But Ye Xiwen did not have the notion of selling off the demon cores. If handed over to the school, it could be exchanged into school credits. The school¡¯s credits on the outside were perhaps not worth a coin, but its usefulness inside the school was certainly great. Comprising the ability to exchange for outstanding powerws, herbal medicines to raise internal power, as well as the independent direction of some elder. Regarding Ye Xiwen, these were much more importantpared to money. In this world of paramount strength, only having formidable strength was absolute, the rest was all floating clouds! Of course, an Arrow Hog¡¯s other body parts could also be sold for a sum of money, but Ye Xiwen could only carry a certain amount, he could only give up! After taking the demon core into a sack, Ye Xiwen immediately began to climb along the cliff. Along with Ye Xiwen¡¯s internal power making headway now, the body¡¯s inner quality had advanced by leaps and bounds. Like apes and monkeys, free to advance or retreat. Ye Xiwen very quickly climbed onto the rocks on the cliff in front of that Earth Heart fruit. Quivering in the wind, a herbal fragrance assailed the nose. Ye Xiwen immediately reached out towards the Earth Heart fruit to take it away. Although, a fifty-year-old Earth Heart fruit herbal efficacy was not the best, but for Ye Xiwen now, it was better than without it. Able to increase five years of internal power, Ye Xiwen could even directly use the internal power to push through the Houtian peak fourth stage. A sudden burst of sound came through from above, a fishy smelling wind assaulted the senses. Ye Xiwen subconsciously stamped his feet to avoid this fierce wind. Ye Xiwen took a closer look, unexpectedly a huge brightly multi-coloured python opened up its bloody mouth wide like a sacrificial bowl. The fishy smell could be smelled everywhere. My God, this huge python was no less than half a person wide, about five or six metres long, with some magical skills. The so-called panacea had an unusual beast guarding its side. Originally Ye Xiwen still believed it was those Arrow Hog beasts, as a result he more or less rxed, fortunately notpletely losing preparedness. Otherwise the mouth of that huge python would bite off a small half of the body. This snake had clearly magical skills because the Earth Heart fruit only grew in a region of rich Spiritual Qi. Passing through long-term moistening of Spiritual Qi, this huge python evidently had also changed from a beast into a demon beast. Actually reaching the Houtian initial fifth stage by looks. Also not able to sense the Spiritual Qi around here, obviously it was this Earth Heart fruit thoroughly absorbing it. ¡°Ssss!¡± The fishy smell greeted the nose, Ye Xiwen¡¯s feet exchanged. Phantom Cloud Track. Avoiding the huge multi-coloured python¡¯s pounce to bite directly. Turning the body andying out a palm. Pass Like Thunder and Move Like The Wind! Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm was extremely quick, firmly printing on that huge multi-coloured python¡¯s body. ¡°Peng!¡± Unexpectedly it produced a sound of a cross between gold and iron. The huge multi-coloured python¡¯s body¡¯s multi-coloured scales were harder than amon iron sheet. How was the strength of Ye Xiwen, the palm striking the huge multi-coloured python shifted it across several metres. Chapter 8 – Houtian fifth stage Chapter 8 ¨C Houtian fifth stage At this instant, the tail of that huge multicoloured python was horizontally flung over, creating impressive wind. In a blink of an eye, it was flung in front of Ye Xiwen. This huge multi-coloured python¡¯s tail was as hard as metal and stone, whipping across, the strength was definitely not be smaller than the power of two tigers. Although a snake type demon beast¡¯s strength was not its forte, the flung over tail of the Houtian initial fifth stage huge multi-coloured python¡¯s strength absolutely surpassed five hundred kilograms. From the sturdy whip, even bones would break by the whip. ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s palms both went up to meet it, ferociously hitting it, again sounded a sound of a cross between gold and iron. Ye Xiwen suddenly shouted. Firmly grabbing the tail that was whipped over, the arm¡¯s veins suddenly stuck out. Transporting the body¡¯s strength, throwing the huge multicoloured python into the air. ¡°Huhu!¡± The over fifty kilogram huge multicoloured python was ruthlessly thrown into the air by Ye Xiwen, producing a piercing whistling sound. ¡°Hong!¡± A loud sound, that huge multicoloured python was directly whipped into the cliff by Ye Xiwen. That huge multicoloured python was forcibly whipped by Ye Xiwen, directly sinking deep into the cliff. Wisps of blood seeped out of its thick long body, the intensity of this whip was very clearly not small. The huge multicoloured python struggled to escape, but how would Ye Xiwen let this huge python do as it wanted, immediately getting up to dance again. ¡°Hong!¡± ¡°Hong!¡± ¡°Hong!¡± Soon, this huge multicoloured python fell to its death by Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen could not consider resting, digging out this huge multi-coloured python¡¯s demon core and afterwards immediately digging out the Earth Heart fruit. Ye Xiwen departed this ce very quickly because the reek of blood here would very rapidly draw the mountain¡¯s other demon beasts toe. When that moment came, it would inevitably be troublesome. Although the mountain range¡¯s outside region here probably did not have greatly formidable demon beasts, it was a troublesome affair. But also, in case a formidable demon beast ran out did not y by the rules, he¡¯d be crying and weeping without a ce to go. This mountain¡¯s demon beasts were too many, he had no choice but to protect himself. The reason why the Yi Yuan school was situated on such a mountain was to intimidate the lot of demon beasts dwelling in the mountain, to avert the demon beasts from descending the mountain to disturb the people. Ye Xiwen soon returned to the Yi Yuan school, he had almost left several days ago. Nothing changed. Ye Xiwen went straight to the Gongde Pce, inside the Yi Yuan school it was specially responsible for the exchange of disciples¡¯ contributed goods, converting them into school credits. Ye Xiwen strode in,ing in front of the credit exchange steward. These stewards were some real powerful people inside the school. Not at all like an elder, but controlling some real authority. Although their true strength was not too high, generally disciples could not afford to offend them. This young steward was called Wang Shi, previously the Yi Yuan school¡¯s disciple, his behaviour was rtively harsh. Liking to fawn on influential people,mon disciples did not like him. Wang Shi somewhat arrogantly said: ¡°You are going to exchange credits?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ye Xiwen shook his head, taking out that Arrow Hog and huge multi-coloured python¡¯s demon cores. ¡°I wish to exchange these two demon cores for crystal stones.¡± Wang Shi received the two demon cores very indifferently, then said: ¡°A Houtian fifth stage demon core can be exchanged for low-grade spirit stones numbering at twenty, two can be exchanged for spirit stones numbering at forty.¡± ¡°En.¡± Ye Xiwen expressed agreement. Although the quality between each demon core also had a disparity, if sold in private, there could be one or two more. But it was far more convenient to directly go to the Gong De Pce to exchange them. After taking the spirit stones, Ye Xiwen then turned to leave. Having forty low-grade spirit stones and an Earth Heart fruit, he could wholly directly deduce the Rushing Thunder ninth hand to the degree of nine echoes. At that moment, this martial art would beplete. Ye Xiwen left the Gong De Pce, returning to his small courtyard. Time was getting more and more pressing, he must enhance his true strength as quickly as possible. Ye Xiwen sat cross-legged on the bed, taking out the Earth Heart fruit, swallowing it. After swallowing the Earth Heart fruit, the Earth Heart fruit very rapidly changed into warmth circting inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. The flowing warmth was raised in the Dantian, suddenly the whole body¡¯s Zhen Qi frantically went up and running. Ye Xiwen¡¯s face began to change to red. With Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi within the body frantically working, the originally stable domain level appeared to start to loosen. Ye Xiwen fully transferred the Zhen Qi within the body, refining this energy. Every refinement, Zhen Qi strengthened inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. Furthermore, more of the energy began to quench the body under Ye Xiwen¡¯s guidance. Countless energies ripped apart and reconstructed Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body¡¯s cells. Reconstructing and ripping apart. Ye Xiwen¡¯s face exposed a feeling of pain and enjoyment intertwining together. When countless cells were ripped apart, only thinking of the entire world crumbling, Ye Xiwen¡¯s body made a crackling sound as if releasing the loud sounds of intermittent firecrackers. This was Ye Xiwen¡¯s mortal body experiencing transformation. Ye Xiwen had immediately gotten down his bed, going into the small courtyard. Shouting loudly, beginning the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s routine, inside the mind was the image of a person drilling the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s essence at a flying speed. The two demon cores exchanged for forty spirit stones¡¯ Spiritual Qi surged in abundance, surging into Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body. ¡°Honglonglong!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s small courtyard was filled with the sound of rumbling thunder. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body also made a crackling sounds. The strength inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body also increased at a flying speed. The power of two tigers! The power of two and a half tigers! The power of three tigers! The power of four tigers! The power of five tigers! ¡°Hong!¡± All of a sudden, the Houtian peak fourth stage domain level of Ye Xiwen broke through by a flood of energy! Houtian fifth stage! However, this upgrade was not over, but still rocketing. Just reaching the Houtian fifth stage, Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi mbered up at an astonishing rate, straight to the Houtian mid fifth stage. Ye Xiwen endlessly indulged in the feeling of this rapid breakthrough. Just when the Houtiante fifth stage was attacked, he suddenly felt that the feeling of the vast and limitless energy flow unexpectedly disappeared. The power of five tigers! A tremendous exploding sound. The countless energy inside Ye Xiwen again twisted into a Jin. Originally those three Daojin inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body were rtively distant, this showed that Ye Xiwen had once again condensed the power of one tiger to reach the power of five tigers,parable to Houtian sixth stage experts. ¡°Honglonglong!¡± An immense thunderstorm sound. Ye Xiwen issued the Rushing Thunder Hand once again. After producing the seventh echo, in a spurt of energy, the spirit was bright and empty. Only in the special space inside the mind was that silhouette constantly drilling the essence of the Rushing Thunder Hand. ¡°Peng!¡± The thunderstorm¡¯s eighth sound finally came out of nowhere, this was also the sign that Ye Xiwen had atst deduced an overwhelming majority of the essence of the Rushing Thunder Hand. The eighth echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand instantly increased its formidable power by a level, it actually could be on par with some mid-level power techniques. Chapter 9 – Seizing treasure Chapter 9 ¨C Seizing treasure Ye Xiwen¡¯s skinny body was immersed in sweat, covered in some ck impurities, which were some impurities hidden in the body. ¡°Great, breaking through to the fifth stage, also having the power of five tigers plus the eighth echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand. When the timees, sixth stage experts can be blown away, simply a breakthrough advancing by leaps and bounds!¡± Ye Xiwen happily said. Houtian nine stages; every stage differed enormously. The power of two tigers only enter the fifth stage, but the Houtian sixth stage actually needed the power of five tigers, surpassing one thousand two hundred and fifty kilogrammes! Shedding light on fighting strength, with blowing away sixth stage experts¡¯ strength, Ye Xiwen could be the highest rank within Inner Sect disciples. But in order to be promoted into a core disciple, this was not enough. Only if Ye Xiwen could break through to the Houtian sixth stage, when that moment came he had considerable hope to be promoted to a core disciple. Breaking through to the power of five tigers without a hitch, Ye Xiwen readily struck a punch, able to shake the air. Compared with before, it was the difference between heaven and earth. However, even though strength rapidly increased, the price was very big, the Earth Heart fruit was alreadypletely digested clean, those forty spirit stones to also deduce the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯sst echo were even nearly exhausted. It was muchrger consumptionpared with the deducing of the eighth echo before. Of course, after deducing the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s eighth echo, the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s might could also not be mentioned in the same breath, reaching the might of a mid-level power technique in one move. To wish to advance strength by leaps and bounds, whether to deduce martial arts or improve a domain level, it was inevitably linked to the spirit stones, and Heavenly material treasures such as the Earth Heart fruit. All in all, with how scarce they are, at the present the most dependable means was to kill demon beasts, then exchange for crystal stones, it could also raise battle experience, getting some in one fell swoop. After deciding, Ye Xiwen speedily left the Yi Yuan school station, going towards the depths of the Qing Feng mountains. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Time passed day-by-day, Ye Xiwen had already spent three days in the Qing Feng mountains, Ye Xiwen had already gone into the Qing Feng mountains quite deeply. Now able to see some Houtian fifth stage, even Houtian sixth stage, demon beasts roaming about. Yesterday, Ye Xiwen came across a Houtian peak sixth stage demon beast, nearly losing his life inside that demon beast¡¯s mouth. Truly hanging by a thread at that time, up until now Ye Xiwen deeply felt that not having a weapon was really very much inconvenient. When confronting a person it was not bad, but when confronting these demon beasts, he suffered losses everywhere, in the end, hands could not bepared with demon beasts¡¯ ws and teeth. On this day, Ye Xiwen crossed a gorge, finding blood-coloured ginseng above a cliff. Ye Xiwen had once seen this blood-coloured ginseng in various records. It was a mutation of ginseng. Ordinary ginseng raised a person¡¯s internal power efficacy, but this sort of blood-coloured ginseng did several times that of ordinary ginseng. Seeing this red-blood ginseng¡¯s appearance, it was at least an over one-hundred-year-old mature spirit fruit. If this red-blood ginseng was taken, at the very least Ye Xiwen could directly breakthrough to the Houtian sixth stage. At that time, Ye Xiwen could steadily promote to a core disciple. Time to see who would dare to underestimate him. Ye Xiwen hesitated no longer, promptly climbing up, movement iparably nimble. Like a Spirit Ape, very swiftly climbing to the position where the red-blood ginseng was. Ye Xiwen spread out his big hand, grasping to take the red-blood ginseng away. ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen just grabbed a handful of soil, not grabbing the red-blood ginseng. Raising his head to look, the red-blood ginseng unexpectedly appeared to leave here to a ce one-hundred metres away. ¡°This red-blood ginseng actually has a hazy consciousness!¡± Ye Xiwen was greatly astonished. Between heaven and earth, all living things had a spirit, even a block of stone. After going through millions and millions of years, there may not be a hope of achieving the Dao. Ginseng like this was a Heavenly material treasure, furthermore gathered the essence of heaven and earth. A millennium-year-old Ginseng King could give rise to a hazy consciousness. Even if found by average people, it could not be caught. The disposition of ginseng had a supernatural power to connect to the earth, even if necessary, it could travel a few hundred kilometres in a day. In the case a Ginseng King could have matured ten-thousand years, it could even assume human form, bing a mountain spirit. And this red-blood ginseng was really worthy of a ginseng mutation, only one-hundred years of maturity, it unexpectedly could already bring a hazy unconsciousness mind into being. It seemed that it was probably unable to change form without a millennium years. But since it was seen by Ye Xiwen, he naturally would not let it slip by. Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body was vigorous, Zhen Qi exploding open, Ye Xiwen¡¯s body suddenly flew up in the air, just like a preyingrge eagle throwing itself at that red-blood ginseng. ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen was thrown into the cliff, a hand grabbing the red-blood ginseng. The red-blood ginseng was toote to escape Ye Xiwen dragging it out the cliff, leaving the earth. The red-blood ginseng¡¯s supernatural power of connecting to the earth was useless. Ye Xiwen showed a smile on his face, just about to climb down to try and find a secluded ce to swallow it. Suddenly a loud shout exploded from behind. ¡°Surrender the red-blood ginseng!¡± Ye Xiwen turned his head to look, seeing three young men looking at him indifferently. These three young men included two about twenty years old, separately wearing ck and purple clothing. And in the middle was a juvenile, about seventeen or eighteen years old, white robe from head to toe, about the same age as Ye Xiwen, with a look of arroganc. Issuing the voice was actually the ck clothed youth. ¡°You are a Yi Yuan school disciple!¡± That arrogant-looking ck clothed youth said to Ye Xiwen. ¡°You are people of the Zhang family?¡± Ye Xi Wen looked to their shoulder mouth crest, immediately somewhat vignt. The Qing Feng mountains stretched for several hundred Li. The branches on the mountain range were easily the Da Yue country¡¯s greatest. In the Qing Feng mountains were two powers altogether, one was the Yi Yuan school, one was the Zhang family. The Yi Yuan school was a branch of the Da Yue country¡¯s Yi Yuan school head school, and standing behind the Zhang family was the Da Yue country¡¯s additional giant, the Sky Wind Hall. Theirrge power waspletely not below the Yi Yuan school. Because they also belonged to the two different powers, bteral rtions have been quite tense as a result. When out in the open, they have misgivings about the other party¡¯s background power, but maintained friendly on the surface. But secretly they actually were constantly dirty. In the Qing Feng mountains¡¯ depths, in which both sides¡¯ disciples learn through experience, the affair of pain and killing in under a word at the earliest convenience was not a new thing. ¡°It is, this is our Zhang family¡¯s young master, surrender that red-blood ginseng!¡± That ck-clothed youth moured. ¡°This is what I found!¡± Ye Xiwen vignted said. Secretly pondering in his heart, himing across this affair of murdering people to seize treasures won¡¯t do! ¡°Our young master, you did not hear?¡± ck-clothed youth. (tl: literally just did this is the raw) ¡°What nonsense you¡¯re telling him, only a Yi Yuan school trash. Kill him, wasn¡¯t the red-blood ginseng ours?¡± The purple-clothed youth said somewhat impatiently, face a bit grim. Chapter 10 – Easily accomplished Chapter 10 ¨C Easily aplished Ye Xiwen listened, suddenly starting. This was murder to seize treasure! Sure enough, the voice did not fall, only a whistling noise was heard. That purple-clothed youth, in under a step his figure burst out. Both hands were made into a pair of talons, it was a primary hand power technique, the Eagle w Power. Combined with the strength of a Houtiante fifth stage, even quartzite could be wed through, its was might enormous. He was also well-known for relying on the Eagle w Power in the Zhang family¡¯s inner disciples. The purple-clothed youth¡¯s body appeared like arge eagle. Both hands appeared to be ws, maliciously grabbing down, shaking and cracking the air. Face full of a sardonic smile, he could almost see the scene of Ye Xiwen seriously injured by grabbing with his ws. As if arge eagle instantly arrived to kill, Zhen Qi condensed into an eagle shape. Ye Xiwen put out his hand in a sh, raising a burst of a crackling thunderstorm sound. Only one hand stretched out, directly tearing into the purple-clothed youth¡¯s Zhen Qi body protection, grabbing the purple-clothed youth¡¯s neck. The strength of both sides really differed too much, breaking the defense in an instant. The purple-clothed youth¡¯s neck was grabbed by Ye Xiwen¡¯s one hand. Ye Xiwen¡¯srge hand was like an iron hoop firmly binding his neck. Unable to make the entire body pull its weight, unable to gasp for air, going down like this he would even be crushed to death by Ye Xiwen. This was Ye Xiwen¡¯s first time raising a hand on a person. But with the power of five tigers and the eighth echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand, this purple-clothed youth waspletely forced down by strength. This was an absolute disparity in strength. Both the Zhang family young master and the ck-clothed youth¡¯s faces looked incredibly, this was simply just like myths and legends. ¡°Stop, quickly release him!¡± The ck-clothed youth shouted loudly. ¡°Then back to you!¡± Under Ye Xiwen¡¯s robe, muscles stretched to their tightest, the purple-clothed youth was directly thrown out. ¡°Peng!¡± In between a blink of an eye, the purple-clothed youth flew in front of the ck-clothed youth. The ck-clothed youth raised both hands to wee it. Immediately, in a ¡°K¡±, ¡°K¡± sound, both hands of the ck-clothed youth were directly hit by immense strength. Now Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body¡¯s strength had already exceeded the strength of five tigers, surpassing one thousand two hundred and fifty kilograms. That ck-clothed youth was only Houtian fifth stage, strength only the power of three tigers. How could he live, thus, all of a sudden his arm was smashed off. ¡°K!¡± Broken bones prated the man¡¯s voice. The purple-clothed youth¡¯s back ferociously hit the ck-clothed youth¡¯s arms, directly fracturing the vertebra. Broken bones perforated the internal organs. Blood immediately spurt out the mouth. Falling unconscious, life or death was unknown. Saying this took long, but this matter was no more than between several breaths. That Zhang family young master was suddenly furious, but for a short time. The two subordinates, one actually lost consciousness, one¡¯s hands were broken, incessantly wailing. For him, it was practically swinging a firm p in his face. ¡°You truly acted recklessly!¡± The Zhang family young master indignantly shouted, whole body spreading Zhen Qi. Comparatively, the purple-clothed youth and the ck-clothed youth were not the least bit stronger, Houtian sixth stage strength was utterly astonishing. It already entitled you to be a core disciple. ¡°I will break your hands and feet, take away your martial power, then skin your muscles away!¡± The Zhang family young master fist exploded outwards, tough fist energy. The exploding air was boiling up, Zhen Qi nearly ran through the vast sky. Fist energy twisted into a Jindao, like a Qi Dragon going towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Pass Like Thunder and Move Like The Wind!¡± Shouted Ye Xiwen. Shooting out the Rushing Thunder Hand apanied with a rumbling thunder, defeating the Zhang family young master¡¯s Qi Dragon mercilessly in one move with the Yang Yi fist. (tl; ÑîÒ×µÄÈ­Í·) ¡°Peng!¡± As if it were the sound of a cross between gold and iron, the Zhang family young master¡¯s both hands immediately snapped. Blood sprayed out the mouth, the body flew upside down, eyes filled with an inconceivable look. ¡°How is it possible, eighth echo, you actually practiced to the eighth echo!¡± (tl; ½ðÌú½»Ãù ¨C again I wonder if I messed that up as well...) The Zhang family young master absolutely didn¡¯t expect that Ye Xiwen could actually practice the Rushing Thunder Hand to this perfect domain level. Issuing the eighth echo, it was impossible for a lot of core disciples. The Rushing Thunder Hand was not a profound secret book, the Zhang family also had it in their collection, but he also did not see a disciple of this age able to practice it to the eighth echo. And even more frightening was that Ye Xiwen unexpectedly also had the force of the power of five tigers. It was not the dispersed strength of innate divine power, rather twisted into the strength of five Jindao. This was the single hit¡¯s root cause of his broken hands. ¡°You know that it¡¯s useless!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, catching up. The Rushing Thunder Hand was pressed to the peak, a palm still beating across the Zhang family young master. ¡°Peng!¡± The Zhang family¡¯s chest exploded into pieces, the sternum disintegrated. Flesh and blood sttered. Heart directly blown out by Ye Xiwen. Immediately dying, unable to die again. In a moment, the situation was reversed. A moment ago the three people were encircling Ye Xiwen, now one died, one lost consciousness and one was seriously injured. ¡°Impossible, you...you actually killed the young master!¡± That ck-clothed youth wailing in grief said. Ye Xiwen¡¯s face was expressionless, slowly moving towards at an exaggerated width. ¡°This was our mistake, you let us off, we received the little master¡¯s incitement. We will surely not breathe a word, will absolutely not speak out!¡± That ck-clothed youth¡¯s face atst showed a fearful expression. Only inside that fearful expression a trace of enmity shed by, but it was caught by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Do you believe these words? I and you don¡¯t have injustice or enmity, you actually joined to surround and kill me, to go kill me in a brief remark at the earliest convenience, robbing my red-blood ginseng. At that time did you want to cut me some ck?¡± That ck-clothed youth¡¯s persuasion was dismissed. How could Ye Xiwen easily be convinced? That hint of enmity let Ye Xiwen understand, he was surely nning revenge afterwards. Seeing Ye Xiwen determined to kill him, the ck-clothed youth immediately became frantic: ¡°You won¡¯t live, our Zhang family¡¯s experts are nearby here. If we don¡¯t return they would know something, they will surely take revenge for us!¡± ¡°All of this, you reap what you have sown!¡± Ye Xiwen refused to acknowledge anything, only shooting out a palm, Zhen Qi violently surged forward. ¡°Peng!¡± The ck-clothed youth screamed, immediately dying. After killing the ck-clothed youth, Ye Xiwen killed the unconscious purple-clothed youth as well, handling the matter of silencing the witnesses of murder for the first time. Ye Xiwen was toote to think about it because he just heard that ck-clothed man¡¯s argument. In the vicinity here were many of Zhang family¡¯s experts, he had to leave as quickly as possible. Ye Xiwen left not long after a party of five men hurried to the scene. Seeing three already dead people copsed on the ground, the whole group of five immediately burned in rage. ¡°The young master¡¯s corpse is warm, showing that the murderer has not gone far. Pursue, I¡¯ll purse, pursue and pursue to the ends of the earth, skinning his muscles will not eliminate the hate in my heart!¡± The leader of the five men, the man with a long scar on his face roared, gnashing his teeth. ¡°Yes!¡± The other four men answered. Chapter 11 – Stimulating battle Chapter 11 ¨C Stimting battle Inside the forest of the Qing Feng mountain¡¯s depths, figure therein leaped up. It¡¯s been three days since the killing of that Zhang family young master. It has already been three days, he ran away straight into the forest. He did not take long after leaving that cliff. He discovered there was someone chasing to kill him, almost catching up several times. Ye Xiwen had dark thoughts, this time he probably really killed some great person. Otherwise, it was unlikely to go so far as to chase after three days and three nights, moreover, it seemed that much more and more people in the Zhang family received the news. But Ye Xiwen did not regret, a real man did just what he did, after all that Zhang family young master went too far! (tl; real-man in colloquial is he-man, heh heh) Suddenly the sound of footsteps came from behind, Ye Xiwen suddenly jumped up, flying to lush branches, covering his figure. Before long, a party of two people already arrived at Ye Xiwen¡¯s position just a moment ago, one tall and one short. The two dressed in the Zhang family¡¯s warrior apparel. ¡°How are the footprints not here, there were still some just now!¡± Thatnky warrior said. ¡°Now matter what, be sure to pursue, the family master is furious, be sure to capture the murderer. So long as that murderer is captured, our sess is not far!¡± That dumpy warrior dered. ¡°Die!¡± That warrior expert immediately withdrew a shooting palm, figure like an arrow, shooting towards the ce above. Originally, they had already discovered him a moment ago, saying those words to let him rx. Ye Xiwen immediate became gloomy, he was still too careless, experience still really toocking. The footprints disappeared here, they had discovered. Lulling him before, a surprise attack now. If Ye Xiwen did not continuously maintain vignce, the surprise attack just now would have likely seriously injured Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen stretched out a hand. A burst of a crackling thunderstorm sound, eighth echo! Ye Xiwen came to use it with all his strength. As matters stand, he did not dare to have any carelessness, palm pressing down. ¡°K!¡± Only a k sound was heard, thisnky warrior¡¯s arm was suddenly broken by Ye Xiwen¡¯s direct hit. How could this Houtian peak fifth stage warrior possibly block Ye Xiwen¡¯s power of five tigers. Not to mention the whole might of the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s eighth echo. Thatnky warrior screamed and dropped down. Ye Xiwen stepped on a thick and solid branch, suddenly figure like an arrow, dropping towards thatnky warrior to chase him down. ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen caught up, the Rushing Thunder Hand fiercely attacked thatnky warrior¡¯s body. Thatnky warrior miserably shrieked, badly mutted by Ye Xiwen. Killed in one move! ¡°Brat, you court death!¡± That dumpy warrior saw that hisrade was actually shot dead by Ye Xiwen. Immediately furious, firing a punch, like a sharp arrow of Qi energy was shot towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen directly weed it to disperse the dumpy warrior¡¯s fist energy, immediately stepping forward, shooting out a palm, followed by a rumbling thunderstorm sound. That dumpy warrior immediately panicked and lifted a hand to block, straightaway breaking his arm from Ye Xiwen¡¯s shooting palm. Immediately giving a blood-curdling screech, body rolling onto the ground, unexpectedly directly turning around to flee. By now, he still could not understand how he absolutely couldn¡¯t handle Ye Xiwen now. Only how could Ye Xiwen let the other person leave? Stretching out only one hand. Honglonglong, a thunderstorm sound. Ye Xiwen¡¯s movement was as quick as lightning, in a sh shooting to that dumpy warrior¡¯s back. ¡°Pu!¡± That dumpy warrior sprayed out a mouthful of blood, mixed with internal organs. Five organs and six bowels were broken into pieces by Ye Xiwen¡¯s shooting palm, spraying out the mouth. ¡°Hong!¡± That dumpy warrior¡¯s fat body took two steps forward, crashing into the ground. Ye Xiwen relieved, next time he absolutely must not be careless. ¡°Brat, how dare you, actually dare to kill my Zhang family¡¯s men!¡± At this moment, a person¡¯s shadow appeared in the branches above. Ye Xiwen looked up, it was an about twenty-year-old handsome-faced ck-clothed youth. ¡°You may kill me first, I¡¯ll only counter-attack!¡± Ye Xiwen spoke. ¡°Heng, sophistry, even if you killed my Zhang family¡¯s men, you will also obediently go down without a fight!¡± That ck-clothed youth overbearingly said. ¡°Quite overbearing!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. ¡°Overbearing, overbearing, how can you deal with me!¡± That ck-clothed youthughed savagely. A formidable imposing manner was released, directly sweeping down the countless branches. Unexpectedly Houtiante sixth stage. That ck-clothed youth¡¯s palm flipped over, the palm became a de. Zhen Qi straightaway sprayed out, condensing into the appearance of a long de. The de chopped out, de Qi warping and weaving. Ye Xiwen was suddenly greatly astonished, he knew that to condense Zhen Qi into a weapon, only with the might of a Xiantian domain level abilities could Xiantian experts congeal Qi into Gang. Gang weapons were even more difficult to deal with than ordinary weapons. Difficult to deal with evenpared to magic weapons. Facing the de Qi head on. Ye Xiwen did not dare to directly receive it. Although there was no de in his hand, this de Qi was surely real. Ye Xiwen greatly shouted, a palm shooting out a round thunder-shaped Zhen Qi, weing it. ¡°Hong!¡± ¡°Peng!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi, although counteracted most of the de Qi, the remnants of the de Qi still fiercely hit the mountain, Ye Xiwen. Only this hit made Ye Xiwen receive some internal injuries. ¡°Haha, you had better obediently go down without a fight. Although you killed my younger brother, you killing is good, killing is good, hahahaha, look, at this point, I¡¯ll leave you intact!¡± That ck-clothed youth burst into loudughter. Ye Xiwen wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, sneering: ¡°You lot of nonsense, want me to go down without a fight, impossible!¡± ¡°Then drop dead!¡± Inside the ck-clothed youth¡¯s expression flickered a hint of madness. In the hands of the Zhen Qi de dance, de Qi chopped out. Like a hot knife through butter, directly splitting open the air advancing towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Hong!¡± That Zhen Qi attacked Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, deep bones could clearly be seen, Ye Xiwen muffled a groan. Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes¡¯ expression also flickered a hint of madness, he decided to fight. It went without saying that the difference between his strength and the ck-clothed youth was a lot. That ck-clothed youth¡¯s explosive power was at least at the power of seven tigers, more than the power of two tigerspared with him. Again a long-range attack, going down like this he could only passively take a beating. He had no choice but to face it with his bullied body, disying the eighth echo of the Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s superior strength. The Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s eighth echo already approached the stage of perfection. One palm shot out endless formidable power. This was Ye Xiwen¡¯s only chance. After Ye Xiwen firmly endured this much, not falling back, instead in the step of the foot, Zhen Qi exploded, treading deep footprints into the earth. Figure like an arrow, flying out. That ck-clothed youth did not expect that Ye Xiwen could actually firmly resist this strike after dashing over. By the time he reacted, Ye Xiwen had already dashed nearby. Immediately somewhat surprised, but then the de chopped down again. de Qi warped and wefted! Chapter 12 – Cold Moon Beheader Chapter 12 ¨C Cold Moon Beheader How could Ye Xiwen let the other person attack? One palm stretched out to directly grab that ck-clothed youth¡¯s wrist, the Zhen Qi de immediately halted. That ck-clothed youth¡¯s strength was stillrger than Ye Xiwen, only stagnating for a split second, then proceeding chop down. But just in this split second it was already enough. Ye Xiwen had already madeplete preparations. Rushing Thunder Hand, eighth echo. ¡°Pass Like Thunder and Move Like The Wind!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted, right hand twisting with thunder-shaped Zhen Qi. The palm shot into the ck-clothed youth¡¯s chest. ¡°Peng!¡± That ck-clothed youth was beaten by the direct palm, body like a kite¡¯s broken string, flying upside down, soaring high up, then fiercely falling to the ground. Very many bones were broken by Ye Xiwen¡¯s beating, he gasped for air as if a cow. The ck-clothed youth opened his eyes wide at Ye Xiwen, somewhat incredibly saying: ¡°You...you actually dare to shadow me!¡± Even more not daring to believe that Ye Xiwen was actually this crazy. To attack him he actually resolutely endured his strike, that could be said to be crazy. ¡°Hey!¡± Ye Xiwen stopped his own bleeding,plexion somewhat deathly pale. Just now bone was visible in the deep split open wound, the blood flow was without end, now Ye Xiwen was free to staunch himself a little bit. Ye Xiwen did not waste any more time, facing that one fallen on the ground. Rushing to the powerless from head to toe ck-clothed youth. ¡°You...you cannot kill me!¡± The ck-clothed youth at this moment was finally somewhat panic-stricken, saying. ¡°I am the Zhang family¡¯s young master, if you kill me, you will have great troubles!¡± ¡°Once the battle began, you would die to me!¡± Ye Xiwen understood that he mustn¡¯t release this ck-clothed youth or there will be trouble in the future, definitely extremelyrge. The experience of these days told him, you could not be soft-hearted, this world was full of the weak being prey to the strong, thew of the jungle. Ye Xiwen headed for that ck-clothed youth step by step. ¡°You, go to hell!¡± That ck-clothed youth¡¯s face abruptly showed a sinister expression, suddenly brandishing an arm, a de crescent moon de Qi swept out, advancing to behead Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen stamped his feet, figure shifting, dodging this first dangerous counter-attack. He repeatedly warned himself to be prudent. How could not guard against this? Rushing Thunder Hand, eighth echo! A rumbling sound reverberated in the woods. That ck-clothed youth¡¯s rmed face grew more and more intense. ¡°Peng!¡± After a scream, that ck-clothed finally passed away with a deep unwillingness. Ye Xiwen saw that that ck-clothed youth was killed by him atst. Immediately rxing, sitting down on the ground, gasping for air gulp by gulp. Not resting much, Ye Xiwen stood up, beginning to plunder the three people¡¯s bodies. Murder, seizing treasures, they were often together. On the Houtian fifth stage expert¡¯s body, he found twenty low-grade spirit stones altogether, furthermore, 120 silver notes. Then Ye Xiwen began to search that ck-clothed youth¡¯s body. Ye Xiwen found a pleasant surprise, this ck-clothed youth¡¯s body unexpectedly had a storage ring. Moreover, its size was not small, actually having surpassed nearly one-hundred cubic metres in size. It must be known with storage rings and the like that spatial type goods were the most expensive. Even if only ten cubic metres in size, it required one hundred spirit stones at the very least. But one hundred cubic metres took a minimum of over one thousand low-grade spirit stones. At the Yi Yuan school only those Xiantian domain level elders had the financial resources to buy it, Ye Xiwen had only seen it his foster father Ye Kongming¡¯s body. He did not expect that this ck-clothed youth actually had a one hundred cubic metre storage ring. Really worthy of a Zhang family¡¯s young master. After obtaining the storage ring, Ye Xiwen searched with an enthralled knowing look, immediately exulting. As expected, proceeding topare this ck-clothed youth, those two Houtian fifth stage experts paled in insignificance. Within the storage ring were solely over five hundred low-grade spirit stones, which made Ye Xiwen not need to worry about the matter of spirit stones for some time. Besides spirit stones were also twelve thousand silver notes. Of course, the most pleasant surprise for Ye Xiwen was inside this spatial ring, it unexpectedly had a martial art secret book. Just like that ck-clothed youth a moment ago, the secret of condensing Qi into Gang. When this ck-clothed youth at the Houtian sixth stage it could let him possess Xiantian domain level power. This power technique was certainly rather out of the ordinary. This power technique was called the ¡°Cold Moon Beheader¡±, unexpectedly a Xiantian level power technique. Cold Moon Beheader altogether had threeyers: the firstyer was called the New Moon Beheader, the secondyer was the Missing Moon Beheader and the thirdyer was the Full Moon Beheader. Mastering the New Moon Beheader couldpare to the might of mid-level powerws. Mastering the Missing Moon Beheader couldpare to the might of high-level power techniques. If the thirdyer Full Moon Beheader was also mastered, then it could disy the might of Xiantian level power techniques. Its might could be considered boundless! Originally Ye Xiwen also considered learning a weaponry martial art in the future, making up for weak points. Now he had this ¡°Cold Moon Beheader¡± to fullypensate for this problem. The ¡°Cold Moon Beheader¡± could already be used to issue out a long de, it also could condense Qi into a Gang instead. Even if there were sets of unique methods of condensing Qi into Gang, making Zhen Qi into an iparably firm long de it was able of disying the ¡°Cold Moon Beheader¡¯s¡± might. Of course, if having a weapon, its might was naturally a bit stronger. Ye Xiwen promptly put everything into the spatial ring, then rapidly left here. Those groups chasing to kill Ye Xiwen, every group leaving was very tight, it was estimated that before long, hearing the sound of activity, they woulde over. Now Ye Xiwen¡¯s situation really had no way to deal with the following groups. He must find a ce to heal. Ye Xiwen left not long after a small five man group had already advanced to here, leaded by that middle-aged man with a lengthy scar on his face. Seeing the three dead bodies lying on the ground, hisplexion immediately became ashen, especially that young master¡¯s corpse. It made his eyelids jump, the face with a scar increasingly getting more malevolent. ¡°Pursue, be sure to give killing this murderer to me, he killed my Zhang family¡¯s two young masters. If you are unable to catch him, those of use must die!¡± The scarred man very fiercely said, the whole body¡¯s imposing mannerpletely released out, unexpectedly a peak seventh stage expert. ¡°Notify our men, give me chase. Be sure to kill this murderer, dismember him into pieces. Find suspicious people, kill them, kill wrongdoers rather than letting them off!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The other several warriors saluted one after another. A shrill and piercing sound resounded in the whole forest, it was the Zhang family¡¯s signal to assemble. Ye Xiwen had already moved away for a long time, yet heard this piercing sound. Suddenly his heart started, this was the Zhang family¡¯s signal. It seemed like they truly must annihte him. He must find a way to get rid of these pursuers, otherwise Ye Xiwen, who already ughtered the two Zhang family young masters, would absolutely be chased to the ends of the earth and killed by the other side. Giving it a thought, Ye Xiwen¡¯s silhouette melted into the woods. Chapter 13 – Disaster of Dongyin Chapter 13 ¨C Disaster of Dongyin One dayter. Above a branch of a gargantuan tree, Ye Xiwen sat cross-legged, breathing a sigh of relief. The body¡¯s wounds were almost fine. The ¡°Bright Jade Power¡¯s¡± healing effect was unusually good. If on the Earth with such an injury, it would take at least a few months to be fully well. But here, in merely one day, it had already been almost restored. Martial powers really are miraculous. During this day, he had hidden here and there. More and more of the Zhang family¡¯s men joined amongst the pursuing ranks. The Zhang family disciples tempered themselves in this region. Although they did not know Ye Xiwen¡¯s appearance, and each and every person who saw Ye Xiwen was killed by Ye Xiwen, this did not prevent them from pursuing Ye Xiwen. Those who formerly looked suspicious were all captured and killed by them. They would rather wrongly kill three thousand, not letting off one! Chasing for a day, having not the slightest meaning to stop, too. Ye Xiwen ughtered two Zhang family young masters, the Zhang family couldn¡¯t not be furious. Moreover, as time went on, more and more experts appeared, more and more powerful. Must think of a way to get rid of them, or make their vitality severely damaged. ¡°Hou!¡± Suddenly, continuous beast roars were heard, seeming like an ape or monkey¡¯s cry magnified by countless times. The number of the violent ape sounds reverberating wasn¡¯t known, resounding in the horizon. Ye Xiwen immediately stood up, leaping onto anotherrge tree, rapidly flying over toward the ce the sound wasing from. Far away, Ye Xiwen saw more than one hundred gigantic apes. Only seeing that these gigantic apes¡¯ bodies were coated with silvery-white hair, approximately more than two metres tall and with fierce facial fangs. Extremely ferocious. A troop of Iron-back Silver Apes! Ape-type demon beasts were not at all rare in the Qing Feng mountains. There were manymunities, amongst these, the Iron-back Silver Ape was a famous one. Every one of these violent apes had super strength. Fully grown Iron-back Silver Apes could surpass the power of four tigers, no less than Houtian fifth stage warriors, able to tear up tigers and leopards, the body was strong and robust as if a steel bar. Swords and spears had difficulty entering. Inside the tremendous troop of silvery-white apes, a golden Iron-back Silver Ape loftily stood above the treetops. Nearing three metres,pared to a giant silver ape it was much taller. This was an Iron-back Ape King, imposing manner extremely frightful. ording to humankind¡¯s ssification method, it definitely outstripped the Houtian eighth stage, extraordinarily strong. More than one hundred Silver-back Apes. From the scale, it was already not small. Ye Xiwen suddenly had an idea using theing Zhang family¡¯s men. The Iron-back Silver Ape was a kind of organism which unusually cared about its domain, any organism attempting to approach their domain would be seen as a provocation. Then they would rip them apart. When the moment came, Ye Xiwen could fish in troubled waters to escape. Making up his mind, Ye Xiwen turned around, walking over towards the Zhang family groups. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Inside the jungle, a group of Zhang family warriors carefully searched for passing traces of Ye Xiwen, trying to find anything. Now seniors have alreadymanded to must capture Ye Xiwen. To kill, rather wrongly killing to not let him slip by. Suddenly, on top of a tree, a shadow jumped down. ¡®Honglonglong¡¯, a rumbling thunderstorm sound. Arge hand shot down from overhead. ¡°Peng!¡± Inside the group, a warrior met a violent death right away. ¡°This individual is the murderer who killed many of our Zhang family¡¯s men, capture him!¡± Immediately, a warrior recognised Ye Xiwen, crying out. Ye Xiwen killed one warrior then turned to run, the Zhang family warriors behind chased after at once. In between several jumps, Ye Xiwen submerged into the woods. Behind, the chasing Zhang family experts grew more and more. A grandiose dozens of people. ¡°Pursue, today we must catch the murderer!¡± ¡°Kill him, cut him to pieces, he even dared to move our Zhang family¡¯s men!¡± ¡°Kill, to avenge the young masters!¡± ¡°Brat, die to me!¡± An exploding shout, that middle-aged man with scarred face joined the ranks to chase and kill Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen could sense the atmosphere of many formidable killing intents behind, immediately sneering. Come on, the moreing, the more he had an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. The pursuers behind were getting more and more close, at the same time, the Iron-back Silver Apemunity¡¯s territory was also in sight. Ye Xiwen grabbed arge stone from the ground, throwing it toward the distant Iron-back Silver Apes. Immediately following, Ye Xiwen dived, fleeing into the thickets, crawling on the ground, concealing his whole atmosphere. ¡°Peng!¡± Thatrge stone directly knocked that Iron-back Silver Ape unconscious. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength wasrge, calcted to five hundred kilograms. The Iron-back Silver Ape body was as strong as iron. For an ordinary demon beast, this ferocious smash could make his head split open. ¡°Hou!¡± ¡°Hou!¡± ¡°Hou!¡± The troop of Iron-back Silver Apes were angry, someone actually invaded their territory, attacking theirmunity. One after another bellowing upwards, both hands beat the chest. The fierce air was monstrous. The troop of Iron-back Silver Apes were leaded by that Ape King, rushing over toward Ye Xiwen¡¯s direction with unprecedented speed. These muscr big fellows¡¯ speed on the trees was extremely quick, arms hanging over branches, changing hands between, leaping several metres in distance. At this time, the Zhang family¡¯s men chasing to kill Ye Xiwen arrived, shouting to kill Ye Xiwen with ample murderous spirit. Both sides were caught somewhat unprepared. Inside the jungle, the line of sight would be obstructed, not to mention that both sides were sprinting extremely quickly as if two powerful currents fiercely hit each other. A Houtian fourth stage Zhang family warrior dashed ahead, directly getting hit flying by an Iron-back Silver Ape, knocked down and killed. These Iron-back Silver Ape ran at a high speed, appearing to be a typhoon of flesh tanks, supernaturally brave without rival. ¡°F*ck, how are there so many Iron-back Silver Apes here!¡± That middle-aged man with a scarred face used a de to hack an Iron-back Silver Ape into two halves, gloomily cursing. The Iron-back Silver Apes inside the Qing Feng mountains were not an affablemunity. The Zhang family, although insolent, did not dare to negligently provoke such amunity. Even when experienced, they would only choose a singled-out demon beast, and would not touch the wholemunity. What¡¯s more, Iron-back Silver Apes in itself were a powerfulmunity. Both powerful currents ferociously hit each other. Immediately, inside the warrior group of the Zhang family, many were killed by the Iron-back Silver Apes, suffering a crushing defeat. However, the Iron-back Silver Apes also had many killed and beheaded by the warriors. ¡°Hou!¡± The Iron-back Silver Ape King covered in golden hair bellowed, the howling shaking the sky, jumping down from the top of the trees. ¡°Hong!¡± The direct pressure burst a Zhang family warrior, the shaking starting to sway the earth. ¡°Peng!¡± A warrior¡¯s de hacked down, to his surprise, the Iron-back Silver Ape caught it with bare hands. The fine steel long de was directly moulded into an iron sheet. That warrior was also punched dead by the Iron-back Silver Ape. This heavy shadow boxing, it actually brought out a shadow fist technique. Ye Xiwen was exceptionally stunned, this demon beast was actually able to use fist techniques. It ought to be the Monkey Fist! Chapter 14 – Houtian sixth stage Chapter 14 ¨C Houtian sixth stage But it was also normal, many of humankind¡¯s martial arts themselves were imitated by these beasts and demon beasts. Some Tiger Fist, Monkey Fist, Snake Fist, Mantis Fist as so on. Only a look at the name and one would know it. This Iron-back Silver Ape King really was a fierce mess! Both sides had already been beaten into a rage. Before, they were unable to take the beating, the Iron-back Silver Ape¡¯s brute force was unequalled, however, the Zhang family¡¯s warriors also had respectively practiced all kinds of martial arts. Momentarily they loathed to part. That scar-faced middle-aged man was already facing the Iron-back Silver Ape King. Only just now, even more of the scar-faced middle-aged man¡¯s monstrous killing intentpletely pressed the Iron-back Silver Ape King leeward. He was merely Houtian seventh stage, but this Iron-back Silver Ape King was already Houtian eighth stage, steadily pressing him. Ye Xiwen knew that these warrior¡¯s retreat in defeat was just in a matter of time. Ye Xiwen quietly left the battlefield, circling past, hurrying towards the den of the troop of Iron-back Silver Apes. Now the Iron-back Silver Apes¡¯ whole nest hade out, the time when the den was the most empty. Over so many years, the Iron-back Silver Ape troop surely umted many good things. These many years, extremely many human warriors had died by their hand. Ordinary demon beasts were not interested regarding the fallen things of humans, but ape-type demon beasts were different. Their wisdom was far higher than ordinary demon beasts, likely to gather these things. These were inside some various records Ye Xiwen had seen. Soon, Ye Xiwen had already touched the Iron-back Silver Ape troop¡¯s den. The troop of Iron-back Silver Apes¡¯ den was in the midst of a precipice. But time was running out. Perhaps before long, the Iron-back Silver Ape troop would be back. It was impossible for Ye Xiwen to search it one by one, he could only pick the singlergest cavern. Of course, the Iron-back Silver Ape King¡¯s cavern. Inside the Iron-back Silver Apes, ranks were unusually strict. Advancing into the Iron-back Silver Ape¡¯s cavern, a wine fragrance first assaulted the senses, making humans intoxicated. Monkey Wine! Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind gave off such a noun. Written in some travel notes, some monkey troops gathered a few fruits and such to ferment, then gradually form wine. It was the so-called Monkey Wine! Ye Xiwen¡¯s sight sweeped over, just seeing the inside of a hole, having an immense pond. Inside the pond was filled was jasper-coloured wine. A wine fragrance assailed the nostrils. Solely breathing in a mouthful of the wine fragrance had the feeling of pores opening up. The wine fragrance contained concentrated Spiritual Qi within. This absolutely was not general Monkey Wine, it did not ferment the same fruit. Maybe this contained very many spirit fruits as well as some Heavenly material treasures and so on. Ye Xiwen had no hesitation, this monkey wine was wholly fitted into the spacial ring. Immediate following, Ye Xiwen sweeped a nce at the entire cavern again. Although the cavern was very dark, Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes were equipped with martial power. The fact was, it was bright as day. In the corner, a whole pile of low-grade spirit stones was piled there. Emitting out Spiritual Qi, letting the cavern be just like living in a heavenly paradise. Looking, there were several thousand low-grade spirit stones at the very least. Ye Xiwen swept it away, entirely collecting it inside the spacial ring. Remaining were some weapons and armour and such. Many were already broken, a lot already passed through many years then rusted and rotted, having no value. These things could not be carried by Ye Xiwen, he only chose a long de therein. Thick dust was attached to this long de, it was unknown how many years it had experienced. However, it did not ever rot. The de was suffused with a breathtaking cold tip. The whole body was made of pure gold, iparably sharp. (tl;ÉåÈ˵ĺ®Ã¢) The reason for picking of this de was very simply because the Cold Moon Beheader de technique was previously obtained, now it just so happened that he had the long de. Ye Xiwen strapped the long de to his body then promptly turned to leave, not daring to stay here for long. After rooting out the Ape King¡¯s entire cave dwelling in a punch, Ye Xiwen suddenly got rich. The original affair of ten low-grade spirit stones was worrisome, but now he received several thousand in a short while, bing a rich person all of a sudden. Ye Xiwen¡¯s face was brimming with an ecstatic expression. This truly was great! From inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s spacial ring, a bottle gourd of Monkey Wine was installed. Originally, it was used for holding water, now it waspletely used for holding Monkey Wine. Drinking a mouthful, he immediately felt a warm flow leap up from the lower abdomen. Ye Xiwen was surprised to find that his strength was actually increased. Although it was less than a quarter of a kilogram, without a doubt, the Monkey Wine really had a strange efficacy. Inside contained an unknown amount of Heavenly material treasures, it was no wonder that these Iron-back Silver Apes had strong and robust bodies, impervious to sword or spear. Ye Xiwen looked for the parted from Zhang family warriors and Iron-back Silver Apes. The ce of the fight was not too far a ce, in the distance he could see both sides¡¯ fighting had entered a white-hot phase. Murderous spirit soared, other demon beasts did not dare to approach this region. Ye Xiwen dug a hollow in a tree and began to go into seclusion. At this moment, a great amount of spirit stones started to ignite. Large quantities of Spiritual Qi surged into Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. Ye Xiwen closed his eyes, entering that mysterious space, simultaneously continuously drinking the Monkey Wine. Strength constantly rose up suddenly and sharply. Therge quantities of Spiritual Qi formed a Spiritual Qi river, surging inside of Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. However, in a sh, it was hurriedly absorbed by Ye Xiwen. (tl; holy cow, the author didn¡¯t use the Yangtze & Yellow Rivers forparison!) Inside that special space, Ye Xiwen cultivation speed grew more and more fast. The cultivation also made breakthroughs in session! Houtian initial fifth stage! Houtian mid fifth stage! Houtiante fifth stage! Houtian peak fifth stage! Following the domain levels¡¯ continuos promotions, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength also continuosly promoted! The power of six tigers! The power of seven tigers! The power of eight tigers! The power of nine tigers! The power of ten tigers! Ye Xiwen¡¯s rate of promoting strength made one stare tongue-tied, the Monkey Wine alcohol waspletely refined by Ye Xiwen. It was unknown how long had passed. ¡°Hong!¡± Ye Xiwen broke through to the Houtian initial sixth stage! Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength broke through to no less than the power of fifteen tigers! Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡± had atst also been deduced to the ninth echo. After deducing it to the ninth echo, the ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s¡± might promoted one level again, its might wasplete. The ¡°Cold Moon Beheader¡¯s¡± first form, the ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, had also been practiced a little. Ye Xiwen chopped out a de, able to chop six knives. If one could chop nine knives, like that, the first form, the ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, was practiced to the culmination. As much as five hundred low-grade spirit stones were cleanlybusted by Ye Xiwen, changing into a lump of fine white powder. That bottle gourd of Monkey Wine was alsopletely drank clean. Ye Xiwen opened his eyes, his whole body filthy from top to bottom. Butpared to the previous several times, it was undoubtedly much less. This illustrated that his body¡¯s interior had less and less impurities. Ye Xiwen used Zhen Qi to entirely shake the impurities off. Ye Xiwen brandished out the long de, de Qi warped and wefted. The oppositerge tree crashed down! Ye Xiwen exhaled, even the beforehand Zhang family young master used it far inferiorly to his tyranny. Now, even if he was made to fight Houtian seventh stage experts hand to hand he was fearless! Chapter 15 – School Inner Weighting Chapter 15 ¨C School Inner Weighting This time, the distant ce¡¯s fighting¡¯s victory and defeat had already been decided, the Zhang family warriors were only a handful of five people within the woods,peting for life and madly fleeing. Ye Xiwen, silhouette shing, followed. ¡°Damn, how can it be like this, these bastards!¡± With great difficulty, Zhang family participants¡¯ few people ran away from the Iron-back Silver Apes troop¡¯s death chase. The scar-faced middle-aged man¡¯s body was full of bloodstains. It was left behind when in the fight with the Iron-back Silver Ape King. If not for a decisive withdrawal, perhaps they would have beenpletely wiped out. ¡°Go back then let the family master mobilise experts to eliminate these beasts in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it¡¯s difficult for my heart¡¯s hate to vanish!¡± A Zhang family warrior said gnashing his teeth. ¡°Also that murderer, killing our two young masters, it is an outrage! This time¡¯s affair was also odd, how could those Iron-back Silver Apes be killing to obstruct us in our way?¡± Another warrior said, not reconciled. Whening, they had a grandiose dozen of people, but when fleeing, only five or six people still remained alive. ¡°Kill, must kill, tear into shreds!¡± The scar-faced middle-aged man disyed extreme anger. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you have no chance!¡± Only a clear and sonorous voice was passed on. All the Zhang family looked up, surprised to see a boy around seventeen or eighteen years old juvenile watching them with cold eyes. It was Ye Xiwen! ¡°It¡¯s you, it was you who murdered our young masters!¡± The surviving five people in that previous group of people recognised Ye Xiwen. ¡°Our Zhang family will not let you get away!¡± ¡°You won¡¯t have a chance to return afterwards!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. ¡°Brat, you court death!¡± That scar-faced middle-aged man shouted, taking out a long de, hacking towards Ye Xiwen. The de light flickered, de Qi threatening. Although seriously injured, Houtian seventh stage warrior were Houtian seventh stage warriors in the end. Even if seriously injured, ordinary Houtian sixth stage warriors would absolutely find this de difficult to escape. But, unfortunately, Ye Xiwen was not some ordinary Houtian sixth stage expert. Now, even if that scar-faced middle-aged man was in peak condition, he could fight the fight, let alone the now seriously injured condition. ¡°Qiang!¡± Ye Xiwen took out the long de in a sh, pressing the cold tip to cover it from people¡¯s eyes. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de hacked out, ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±. Sharp de Qi split open the air, instantly chopping down. ¡°Hong!¡± That scar-faced middle-aged man¡¯s de Qi defeated by Ye Xiwen¡¯s Crescent Moon de Qi, dashing straight down, power as if lightning. The Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s essence was actually mixed in. That scar-faced middle-aged man simply had not enough time to escape. That scar-faced middle-aged man only had enough time to look in horror at Ye Xiwen, yelling: ¡°How is it possible, the New...¡± de light shed, that scar-faced middle-aged man was directly hacked into two halves from the middle. Bright blood sprayed out! Evidently, this scar-faced middle-aged man had already recognised this move, but was toote to speak out. ¡°What, how could the deacon actually be killed!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the deacon have Houtian seventh stage strength? Hardly a differencepared to some core disciples, how could he be beheaded by a de!¡± ¡°A very dreadful de technique!¡± That scar-faced middle-aged man was beheaded by a de. Immediately, the Zhang family¡¯s barely remaining morale broke down. Originally, they had just recentlye under utter defeat, now even their most difficult to deal with scar-faced middle-aged man was beheaded by Ye Xiwen¡¯s de. They were but Houtian fourth to fifth stage, they no long had the frame of mind to resist. The remaining four shouted, dispersing in all directions to flee. But Ye Xiwen would absolutely not let them escape. The Zhang family was one of the Qing Feng mountain¡¯s two great powers. These people have seen him, in the event that they were let to flee, perhaps he would truly have unceasing inconveniences. So much so that he would face the Zhang family¡¯s thunderous reprisal. ¡°Qiang!¡± Ye Xiwen raised the vertical body skill, a de hacking out. de Qi warped and weft, quick as lightning. In a split second, it hacked out six des, one fleeing Zhang family warrior already had his head and body separated! Ye Xiwen practically did not have any stagnation, long de in hand, sweeping out. The speed was still strangely extremely quick. With a trace of a thunderstorm sound, hacking into yet another warrior¡¯s body. Along with two warriors beheaded by Ye Xiwen, the remaining two warriors were also unable to escape, ultimately beheaded by Ye Xiwen. A mid-level martial arts¡¯ might was boundless. Although, after the Rushing Thunder Hand was topletion, it waspletely no less than some mid-level martial arts. But for murder efficiency, Ye Xiwen have no choice but to admit that the New Moon Beheader was a little better. After beheading the final Zhang family remnants, Ye Xiwen atst relieved. Not needing to face another of the Zhang family¡¯s death chase. Afterwards, even if the Zhang family wants to continue investigating, they must be able to go find talented people, they have to know who¡¯s for the job! The entanglement of the Zhang family was temporarily broken away from, Ye Xiwen also did not have the idea of returning. He still must continue to temper himself for half a month here. Because half a monthter was the time of the year¡¯s one School Inner Weighting. The School Inner Weighting was the school inner triennial grand event. Both only both disciples in the outer sect and disciples in inner sect participate. It was also divided into two parts, outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples. Outer sect disciples in the top ten ces could be promoted into inner sect disciples, but inner sect disciples in the Weighting¡¯s top five ces could promote to the core disciples. Within the Yi Yuan school, outer sect disciples were just several thousand, inner sect disciples merely passed a little more than one thousand and core disciples were only just over one hundred people. If inner disciples were said to be the Yi Yuan school¡¯s elites, in that case, the core disciples were seeds. The Yi Yuan school developed and strengthened the seeds. Inside the Yi Yuan school, the majority of seniors came from core disciples. To an exaggerated point, even if the outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples all died, so long as there were still core disciples, like that, it was not important. It could still develop rapidly. But if the core disciples lost half the people inside, in that way, the Yi Yuan school¡¯s vigor would be greatly injured. The position of the core disciples was clear in the Yi Yuan school. In the Ye family¡¯s three siblings, Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue were both already core disciples. Only Ye Xiwen still struggled within the inner disciples. Not everyone was able to promote to the core disciples. Although experts constantly promoted to the core disciples, an overwhelming majority of people still did not a chance. Because talents constantly sprung up, to seize that not at all often promotion to the core disciple position, sometimes not only paying attention to strength, but one must pay attention to luck. Until twenty-five years of age, if still unable to promote to the core disciples, in that case, one would either be a Yi Yuan school steward, or either fend for themselves down the mountain. Once promoted to be a core disciple thenpared to the treatment before, it simply was a ¡®heaven and the earth turning upside down¡¯ change. There were only over one hundred core disciples, just they ounted for at least half of the Yi Yuan school¡¯s resources. Chapter 16 – Returning to the school Chapter 16 ¨C Returning to the school If he could have the core disciples¡¯ resources, Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation rate would only be even faster. Although it was impossible to make arge fortune for now, it naturally was a steady source of ie. In the course of time, it was not a poor ie. Let alone wanting to stand out in the core disciples, Ye Xiwen urgently needed all kinds of resources. He must not let it slip by bit by bit, those core disciples each were extraordinary innate talents, each had fortuitous encounters. If he did not step it up, it¡¯ll be a long time off to be able to overtake them. Ye Xiwen would not be willing to leave until they are all one by one dominated! In short, no matter how, this time¡¯s School Inner Weighting was unusually important for him. He must go all out. To adjust to optimum condition, he must enter the core disciple rank in one go. As for core disciples not participating in the School Inner Weighting, after three months there will be an additional Core Weighting. The top twenty ces could proceed toward the Yi Yuan school head school. Entering the head school to receive maximum cultivation. Regarding this time¡¯s School Inner Weighting, Ye Xiwen was determined to win! Time passed day by day, slowly approaching the time of the School Inner Weighting. Inside the small jungle, together a man¡¯s shadow and a Raging me Fox had a distant confrontation. It was surprising to find that Raging me fox¡¯s all over fiery coloured fur this time had de scars up and down the body. Bright blood flowed. The originally pretty fur had everything broken and in disorder. Appearance somewhat dispirited, nothing the tyrannical strength of a Qing Feng mountain¡¯s Houtian peak seventh stage. ¡°New Moon Beheader!¡± That person¡¯s shadow gave a loud shout, the long de shining in hand. de Qi soared up, nine de shadows thuspletely sealed the whole body of the Raging me Fox¡¯s room for maneuver. The Raging me Fox simply had no ce to maneuver, only able to helplessly stare as the long knife fall to its body, beheaded in a moment. Ye Xiwen received the long de, digging out the Raging me Fox¡¯s crystal core. A Houtian peak seventh stage crystal core could absolutely reach two hundred low-grade spirit stones or higher. ¡°I didn¡¯t except that at thest moment, I actually broke through to the domain level of nine des!¡± Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t expect that now he actually understood at the final moment, breaking through to the nine des domain level. The ¡°New Moon Beheader¡± practiced to the culmination¡¯s might sharply rose. A de danced out, the nine de de-shadows were as if a shadow following the body,pletely sealing off the whole body¡¯s space. Close to a de no matter where one escaped to. This was also why the Raging me Fox that was widely know as deft could only be ultimately choked off, the reason that it was beheaded by Ye Xiwen. The Raging me Fox, although strength only at Houtian peak seventh stage, was known as the Qing Feng mountain¡¯s hegemon. Naturally there was a reason, that Raging me Fox¡¯s speed was extremely quick. Ordinary Houtian peak eighth stage warriors couldn¡¯t keep up with the Raging me Fox¡¯s speed. Only Houtian ninth stage¡¯s utter experts had the ability to steadily overtake the Raging me Fox. Ordinary Houtian seventh stage demon cores reached approximately one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but the Raging me Fox¡¯s demon core could reach two hundred. It was because it was very difficult to catch, very rare. Almostparable to the price of Houtian eighth stage demon cores. If the Raging me Fox escaped, Ye Xiwen absolutely wouldn¡¯t catch it. But in a face-to-face effort, Ye Xiwen disyed the ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, from start to finish, the widely-known deft Raging me Fox demon beast was unable to move a single step. Honestly suffering the de. The culminated ¡°New Moon Beheader¡± was absolutely dreadful. A de danced out, up and down, and left and right,pletely enveloped by de shadows therein, entirely unable to escape. Relying on the culminated ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, Ye Xiwen had enough confidence to beat any Houtian seventh stage experts. In this time of less than half month, Ye Xiwen mainly cultivated the ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, but due to having the special¡¯s assistance, he still pushed to the Houtian peak sixth stage with ease, only the difference of a step to reach the Houtian seventh stage. Ye Xiwen was very clear on one point, that was biting off more than one could chew. Consequently, regardless of whether it was the ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡± or the ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, after practicing to the culmination one could begin cultivating others. Solely the culminated ¡°New Moon Beheader¡¯s¡± might was already this formidable. Ye Xiwen very much looked forward to the following ¡°Missing Moon Beheader¡¯s¡± might. It went without saying that the ¡°Missing Moon Beheader¡± was one level higher than the ¡°New Moon Beheader¡±, a high-level power technique. If practiced to the culmination, then the might would be hard to imagine. Although, in this less than half a month, Ye Xiwen unceasingly struck demon beasts dead, plundering demon cores. But, along with his cultivation promoting, his consumption grew more and more. Constituting the low-grade spirit stones, only approximately two thousand low-grade spirit stones remained. Ye Xiwen figured, to practice the ¡°Missing Moon Beheader¡± to the culmination, these spirit stones¡¯ number would seem to be somewhat stretched thin. Although, two thousand low-grade spirit stones, regarding an ordinary inner disciple, could not possibly be gained in a lifetime. But that special space inside his mind was a super-machine practically swallowing the spirit stones. Ye Xiwen suddenly had a kind of feeling, no matter the number of spirit stones he had, it was not enough to swallow. Only, the benefit was clear and easy to see. If he could change from starting touching the ¡°Rushing Thunder Nine Echoes¡±, in about one month, to be able to issue out the ¡°Rushing Thunder Hand¡¯s¡± first echo, then it was considered to be very good. Must use spirit stones to switch domain levels! If he did not have the fortune of Zhang family young master and inside Iron-back Silver Ape King¡¯s cavern, Ye Xiwen would already be unable to continuing supporting it. This was simply burning spirit stones! But it was almost time now, in two days, the triennial School Inner Weighting will begin. This time he must hurry to just appropriately return. Due to Ye Xiwen alreadying a quite deep ce in the Qing Feng mountains, when setting off at early morning, Ye Xiwen will return to the Yi Yuan school, then it would already be afternoon. Looking at the not distant disorderly buildings, Ye Xiwen was filled with emotion. He went out for a month, from Houtian fourth stage at that time, cultivating to the now Houtian peak sixth stage! If he told this news to his father and mother, they would be frightened! But at the moment, Ye Xiwen did not need to urgently return, first he must find a ce for some of the spacial ring¡¯s demon beast material or deal with the demon beast cores and so on. Although inside the Yi Yuan school there was a ce to specially purchase this was the Gongde Pce, within the Gongde Pce were very many things not worthwhile to exchange. An initial demon core and peak demon core in the Gongde Pce over there were the same in exchange, but if privately sold to other disciples, then the price waspletely different. Within the Yi Yuan school were no shortage of such ces. Within the Yi Yuan school, there was a kind of huge za, specialised to have private transactions with those disciples. The school sect didn¡¯t prohibit it. In fact, the entire school had no less than six thousand people of the Yi Yuan school, it looked like a small town, bustling with unusual noise and excitement. This kind ofmercial gathering point would sooner orter form, it might as well be centralised to a point. Firstly, it was convenient for disciple transactions. Secondly, it was convenient for school sects to supervise. Thirdly, the safety factor would also be much higher. Ye Xiwen first rushed to the transaction za, this time of afternoon was when the people was at its most, the human tide surged. Chapter 17 – Conflict Chapter 17 ¨C Conflict ¡°These materials, including sting bear w, fur of raging me fox amounts to a total 200 low-grade spirit stones!¡± said the owner of a small store who looked like a skinny old man . The old man has been opening his shop here for over 50 years, but no one knew when exactly did he actually start to purchase these demon beast materials. Ye Xiwen asked Ye Kongming but even he didn¡¯t know, he said this old man had existed from ancient times and none of the disciples dared to cause trouble around him and he would always give fair prices without any deceit. ¡°Do you have any objection to the price?¡± ¡°No!¡± Ye Xiwen shook his head saying the price was reasonable, even if sold at other ces, the price might not necessarily be so high .Of course, the real bulk(money) was not here, but in those demon cores. These demon cores contained the whole essence of a demon beast¡¯s body, the true demon beast¡¯s essence was concentrated in those demon cores. The number of demon cores in his possession altogether could sell for at least 800 spirit stones and since he already had 1000 low-grade spirit stones, in total amounted to about 2000 low-grade spirit stones. ¡°These are demon beast body parts, you should have a lot of demon cores!¡± that skinny old man looked at Ye Xiwen and said, ¡°if there are any , you can sell them to me as well , the price will not let you suffer a loss!¡± Ye Xiwen also thought that it would save him a lot of trouble, so he took out all the demon cores from the spacial ring and ced them on the table. That skinny old man looked a bit surprised at Ye Xiwen because he was able to take out so many demon cores , even if it was a core disciple , it would be impossible to take out so many demon cores at once. ¡°For these demon cores, I fix a price of 850 low-grade spirit stones , is it ok?¡± the old man looked at Ye Xiwen then asked. ¡°Very well, thank you!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded in satisfaction as it was even more than he had anticipated. After receiving the spirit stones, Ye Xiwen went out of the store and while he was somewhat far away from the shop , suddenly he heard the voices of people quarreling . ¡°Nonsense, I didn¡¯t see your ¡®celestial steps¡¯!¡± said the voice a bit anxiously. ¡°Ahem, if you didn¡¯t see then how do you that this secret book is called ¡®celestial steps¡¯, if everyone is like you , who takes a look and does not buy then how will I do my business like this!¡± a rough voice came from the crowd ¡°today you will have to buy this ¡®celestial steps¡¯ secret book, you don¡¯t have an option and if you don¡¯t buy and since you have already seen the book then you must pay money which will be 500 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The crowd was in uproar, 500 low-grade spirit stones was a huge amount, which was impossible for many disciples to obtain in their whole life. Ye Xiwen entered the crowd and saw a quarrel between two young men, one was fat and other seemed strong and the fat youth was surprisingly his childhood friend Wang Lie. And the other strong youth was a tall guy, roughly 20 years old, looked rough and crude. He was looking at Wang Lie with a prideful face, full of satisfaction as if it was a face after getting triumph. ¡°Unexpectedly it is Ma Yan, this disciple really has a bad luck , I did not expect the fraud was actually Ma Yan. I don¡¯t know where he got hold of such a rare secret book but unexpectedly he asked an elder to make the appraisal(identification) and it is said that it is actually a Xiantian level power technique. Although it is an iplete technique, he still pretends to sell the book and waits for someone to get interested in it . Once someone gets interested and takes a look at it, he forces them to pay up just for looking . There are many who have lost everything to this fraud and went bankrupt!¡± ¡°Yes, he is too shameless, but it can¡¯t be helped because his elder brother Ma Ying is said to be the most promising candidate who will one day be the patriarch of his n and will also emerge as a core disciple. With just a strike he can defeat those other disciples who want to go against his fraud brother so they have no other option but to endure .Even Ma Yan has already cultivated to the peak of fifth stage and is said to be counted as one of the top twenty inner sect disciples¡± ¡°On the surface of your secret book, it¡¯s written ¡®Celestial Step¡¯, I am not a blind person so I saw that however I didn¡¯t read the contents!¡± Wang Lie said anxiously. His family was a rich household below the Qing Feng mountain and his family had many hopes from him so he always had more money in handspared to Ye Xiwen so after he broke to the fourth stage, he hade to buy a technique. For a warrior, the importance of a technique was understandable but 500 low-grade spirit stones was a tremendous amount which he couldn¡¯t afford without going bankrupt so he wanted to leave and the result was this Ma Yan trying to put false usations on him. ¡°If I say you saw it, you saw it!¡± Ma Yan sneered, in fact how could he not know, he knew by just looking that Wang Lie belonged to a rich family, so it was actually an act of extortion. ¡°Enough talk, get me the money or I¡¯ll waste your cultivation!¡± said Ma Yan coldly. The people standing around started shivering because in the past he had destroyed the cultivation of a disciple. This is thew of the jungle. Ma Yan¡¯s elder brother has rtions with the strongest disciple from the inner sect so even if that disciple had his cultivation destroyed, all the light and hope from his life gone, higher ups still weren¡¯t strict with Ma Yan. ¡°I don¡¯t have money!!¡± Wang Lie shouted ¡°Fool, you are good at debate, I¡¯d like to see which is harder , your foolish mouth or my fist!¡± Ma Yan grinned, his fist sted and twisted up the air making a crackling sound, although Ma Yan was domineering and tyrannical, but even his martial arts was not weak, being one of the top twenty inner sect disciples was not a joke. Wang Lie clenched his teeth, releasing his power to the limit, assuming a stance of going all out. (TL: suggested by thatguywhosthere) ¡°Phew!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Suddenly a shrill piercing sound came from the crowd, a small stone like a lightning sh flew instantly across the air and it directly and fiercely hit Ma Yan¡¯s fist. ¡°Ah!¡± Ma Yan suddenly screamed like a dying pig! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 18 – Blood Yuan Domain Chapter 18 ¨C Blood Yuan Domain ¡°Who dares to attack me!¡± Ma Yan said while screaming. Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure was not hidden in the crowd. Wang Lie quickly spotted him and happily ran to him and said: ¡°Brat, you are finally back, where had you gone for a month!¡± ¡°I went to the back side of the mountain to cultivate and practice martial arts!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Hey, why can¡¯t I see your cultivation!¡± Wang Lie said and looked curiously because he and Ye Xiwen both were simr considering their natural talents. In fact he had always been stronger than Ye Xiwen since their childhood but this time when he saw his good friend, he couldn¡¯t see through his cultivation. He couldn¡¯t see through Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation but Ye Xiwen easily saw through his cultivation. Thankfully Wang Lie¡¯s retreat was a sess as he had broken through to the fourth stage and with just one swoop he jumped into the middle of inner sect disciples. ¡°Wait, what¡¯s going on, why was he ckmailing you just now!¡± Ye Xiwen stared coldly at Ma Yan and said. ¡°I broke through to the fourth stage and wanted to buy a secret book here, but who knew I would be ckmailed by him to buy this damaged book for 500 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Wang Lie¡¯s fat face was filled with anger and he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it, so he falsely used me of reading this book!¡± If it was a Xiantian(innate) power technique , forget 500 low-grade spirit stones , even an amount of 50,000 low-grade spirit stones would be inexpensive but it was obvious that the technique must not be iplete or it can¡¯t even get a price of five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Such a situation was verymon, because not everyone could obtain a secret book but most of these were iplete and not that valuable. This was the reason why it was uneptable that someone was willing to sell aplete Xiantial power technique for just 500 low-grade spirit stones. ¡°Die, how dare you sneak attack on me you bastard!¡± Ma Yan looked ferocious, his hands still aching and his eyes shed with killing intent. With a step, he leaped high and jumped towards Ye Xiwen and his fist sted into a powerful punch. ¡°Bang!¡± How could Ye Xiwen not prevent this surprise attack, he immediately spread out his palm and caught his fist. ¡°Rumble!¡± Ye Xiwen grabbed Ma yan¡¯s fist producing a rumbling sound and twisted it ¡°Kara!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Ma Yan screamed like a dying pig, Ye Xiwen directly folded his wrist. Since his power was now over neen tiger force, there was no way he could possibly withstand the strength in Ye Xiwen¡¯s grip with power of just four tigers. The difference was too great. ¡°Take this!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and lifted his foot to kick him. ¡°Bang!¡± Ma Yan suffered this kick so suddenly and fiercely that his body flew magnificently like a broken kite, flew high up then fiercely fell to the ground. Suddenly foam started toe out of his mouth and he fell unconscious. People started staring at Ye Xiwen as if looking at an incredible existence, Ma Yan was supposed to be one of the top 20 disciples from inner sect, but now no one knew if Ma Yan was alive or dead after getting kicked so ruthlessly by Ye Xiwen and was still unconscious. Who on earth was this person. Because Ye Xiwen always had a low profile as his strength was never this strong, therefore no one present there really knew who he was. Everyone around was wondering from where did such a ruthless man emerge to actually send Ma Yan intoatose like state. This was a man who was supposed to be at the peak of fifth stage. Only a monster could defeat such a man this easily! Of course, since Ma Yan was a notorious one, so most people secretly apuded. Ye Xiwen found a book on Ma Yan¡¯s body, ¡°Celestial Step¡± he couldn¡¯t look properly as surrounded by arge crowd, he did not use his spacial ring or it might cause some jealousy which was not good. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Xiwen turned to Wang Lie and said. They soon left the market, Wang Lie couldn¡¯t wait and asked: ¡°How did you be so powerful, Gee, that Ma Yan, your kick actually sent him flying!¡± ¡°¡°Hey, I was originally this powerful!¡± Ye Xiwen said thenughed, he certainly would not talk about the mysterious space. ¡°Bah, I was just kidding!¡± Two friends kept on walking while fooling around all the way, they returned to their respective homes. Ye Xiwen hadn¡¯te back for a while and at the same time, Ye Kongming also came back home from outside and saw him. On his face appeared a little smile and he said: ¡°Wee back!¡± Regarding why Ye Xiwen had note back home for a home, he didn¡¯t say anything, because martial artists were such existences, he might travel for months or even for several years or even more than 10 years and it still wouldn¡¯t be surprising. And Ye Xiwen had already told them before he left. ¡°Good, you look stronger!¡± Ye Kongming nodded approvingly and said. He had always devoted a lot of his attention to this adopted son. ¡°You look thinner and weak, are you not eating properly!¡± Parental concerns for their children could be very different for a mother and father. (TL: ikr :P) ¡°You havee back at a perfect timing, participate in the School Inner Weighting which is going to start in two days!¡± Ye Kongming said, ¡°in this grand event, our school is offering a very generous award and top 100 rankers can earn a lot of rewards!¡± ¡°Yes, father!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, of course he hade back to participate in this School inner weighting, but not the way his father had hoped, because instead of top 100 ranks, he was ning to at least get into the top five. ¡°Why did the ancestor call you?¡± Mother Xia chunxue asked Ye Kongming. ¡°Zhang family wants to conduct this year¡¯s core disciples exam together with our school!¡± Ye Kongming said, ¡°Zhang family has proposed to conduct this year¡¯s bigpetition of core disciples in the Blood Yuan Territory!¡± ¡°What, Blood Yuan Territory!¡± Xia Chunxue was surprised. Ye Xiwen also gawked, he certainly knew what Bloo Yuan Territory was. In this world, in addition to Zhen Wu Jie, there also existed some rge and small-dimensional spaces¡¯. These spaces naturally formed in this world, some were big in size, far more than thousands of miles and some were small with just a few miles only. After many years of breeding, these small dimensions gave birth to life and reproduced their own life forms and animal breeds. A Blood Yuan Territory was such a small microcosm with all kinds of unusual animals, innumerable spirit grass. The entrance to this ¡®small dimension¡¯ was in Qingfeng mountain, and the key to open this entrance rested in the hands of Yi Yuan school¡¯s elder and Zhang family¡¯s patriarch . Legend was that Zhang family¡¯s ancestor and Yi Yuan School¡¯s founder together found this entrance many years ago and they benefited a lot from it. In the end one of them created a school and the other created the foundation of powerful Zhang family. A Blood Yuan Territory would open every once in a while, but it couldn¡¯t remain open and the reason for that was in consideration to the fact that it was very small hence the self-healing capacity would be weak. So it needed to be closed for a period of time to open upter. This could be called ¡®sustainable development¡¯. (TL: environmental studies ss, how nostalgic?? ) Chapter 19 – Competition Starts Chapter 19 ¨C Competition Starts In Blood Yuan Territory lived a variety of unusual beasts, birds, countless treasures, however the risk factors were high, even Xiantian level experts had fallen to this ce. Every time the dimension had opened, Yi Yuan School elder and master of Zhang family together ventured into this ce but in the past disciples had never been dispatched because the time interval was too long. A full decade and also the strength of the disciples was rtively poor so their safety couldn¡¯t be guaranteed. ¡°Blood Yuan Territory!¡± Ye Kongming frowned and said, ¡°It will open up this year exactly at the same time when ¡®Blood Yuan Fruit¡¯ matures, and Zhang family has proposed to organize this year¡¯s core disciplespetition together and the top three will receive ¡®Blood Yuan Fruit¡¯ as reward!¡± ¡®Blood Yuan Fruit¡¯ was a spiritual fruit and was also the specialty of Blood Yuan Territory. The tree it grew on was located deep into the territory and this spirit fruit was the reason why the dimension was named Blood Yuan Territory. When someone consumed this spiritual fruit, even Xiantian level experts would be able to reach the next stage of their cultivation, of course, this spiritual fruit was very scarce and it only matured once in a hundred years, i.e, they could get this fruit only once after having opened the Blood Yuan Territory for ten times, moreover, the quantity was also scarce, only nine. ¡°The winning side will receive four of the remaining six Blood Yuan Fruit, while the losing side will receive just two Blood Yuan Fruits!¡± Ye Ming said. This was nothing as in the past they had such apetition and the winning party got more rewards, while the losing party got less. ¡°I have heard that in recent years, Zhang family has produced three very powerful geniuses. They are very young but have already acquired the strength of ninth stage!¡± Xia Chunxue suddenly mentioned this. ¡°You are right, Zhang family clearly just wants to monopolize the top three ranks!¡± Ye Kongming sneered, ¡°but things won¡¯t go as they have expected, just now Feng¡¯er is undergoing closed door training and when hees out, he will be able to break through to the ninth stage, then he canpete for the Blood Yuan Fruit. In the end, who is going to win is hard to say!¡± Ye Xiwen knew that this time Zhang family had evil intentions, but apparently Yi Yuan school elders also had their own ns, so he was not very worried. ¡°I am not worried about Blood Yuan Fruit but that Blood Yuan Territory, after all, is too dangerous. What if youe across a terrifying demon beast in the blood yuan territory!¡± Xia Chunxue with a few points of concern on her face said, ¡°Don¡¯t let Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue participate this time, anyway Feng¡¯er has already acquired the peak of eighth stage, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth stage. And, then he would be able to enter into the ¡®Main Sect¡¯ of Yi Yuan School. Is that not good enough?¡± ¡°Feng¡¯er is an outstanding leader of the Yi Yuan School¡¯s core disciples, so he will have to participate. And as long as they carefully fight together against the demon beasts, nothing will happen!¡± Ye Kongming said with confidence,¡±Ye child, you quickly go back and take rest, your physical state should be adjusted to the best condition to give your best in the inner disciplespetition! ¡° ¡°Yes father! ¡°Ye Xiwen said. Ye Xiwen returned back to his small courtyard, but he did not do anything else. He took out that book he picked up from Ma Yan¡¯s body, the celestial step. This was the secret book that Ma Yan used to ckmail many people. Ye Xiwen looked at the ¡¶Celestial step¡· and then realized that this ¡¶Celestial step¡· was a Xiantian level power technique. However it was iplete with only half of the content still intact, of course he couldn¡¯t practice it to the peak level, but the power was also no less than a general higher power technique and as for Ye Xiwen, it was like prolonged draught to meet the sweet dew. Hecked an agility type maneuver technique, although both ¡®Rushing thunder hand¡¯ and ¡®Cold moon beheader¡¯ contained agility, but these were no doubt inferior to ¡®celestial step¡¯ as agility was its specialty. Ye Xiwen had thought that after thepetition was over, he would go over to the library to get an agility type technique, but now he didn¡¯t need to bother about that.¡¶Celestial step¡·was indeed an iplete technique, but for the current Ye Xiwen, it was perfectly adequate and in the future if he ever got a chance, he wouldpletely perfect this technique. ording to the above description, ¡¶Celestial step¡· was excellent for small ranged maneuvers, when organizing maneuvers in a small scope, it was extremely handy. Ye Xiwen put down the idea of first practicing ¡¶Missing moon beheader¡·, because anyway his ¡¶New moon beheader¡· was more than sufficient to participate in the school inner weighting as it was rare for the disciples to perfectly master even a primary power technique, let alone an intermediate power technique was out of question. Now firstly, practicing the ¡¶Celestial step¡· was important.(TL: I guess he was told to take rest :D) Ye Xiwen closed his eyes, entering the mysterious space and started practicing as described in the secret book of ¡¶Celestial step¡·. It began to burn up a lot of spirit stones and the newly formed spiritual Qi entered into his body, then his understanding of the ¡¶Celestial step¡· also started to rise up dramatically. Ye Xiwen constantly practiced maneuvering skills in the mysterious space. His moving shadow initially looked slow and rusty, but it quickly became proficient and skilled. Time passed, two days gone in a sh. In his small courtyard, with his hands behind his back, he took a step forward but instead he trotted several steps instantly and his figure appeared in the corner far way. A smile appeared on his face because in just two days, he had already reached the third level(Xiao cheng) of ¡¶Celestial step¡·. The technique was divided into ¡®the first glimpse into the channel¡¯, ¡®entering the inner chamber¡¯, ¡®Xiao cheng¡¯ and ¡®culmination¡¯ . Although there were only four levels, but there was a huge difference between each of the levels and a practice to reach the third level should have taken a long time, not to mention this was an advanced martial arts technique. But for Ye Xiwen, it was not the same as he had that mysterious space to help him practice, where practicing for one day was equivalent to a hundred days practice for others or even more and of course, the price that had to be paid was crazy consumption of spirit stones. In just two days, in order to master the third level of ¡¶Celestial step¡·, fifteen hundred low-grade spirit stones had already been consumed out of two thousand low-grade spirit Stones he originally had. The remaining five hundred were simply not enough to reach the final level of ¡¶Celestial step¡· which required at least one thousand low-grade spirit stones. However at this time, there was no time to practice the final level of ¡¶Celestial step¡·, because School Inner Weighting had finally begun. (TL: regarding the names of various levels of Celestial step , even I am not sure) The sunlight broke through the clouds to shine on earth. The Quinfeng mountain weed a new day, on the mountain, up and down, everywhere was like a beaming picture. On Qingfeng mountain, Yi Yuan school had more than ten thousand people waiting for thepetition to begin where only a thousand people would actually participate in the School inner weighting because not everyone would be able to participate, as some peoplecked the strength so participating could be fatal. Only those interested in seizing a certain ranking or to test their levels would participate. Thispetition was not mandatory, so only interested disciples were participating. Among them, the outer sect disciples who had registered were as many as eight hundred, and the inner sect disciples were only four hundred in numbers. However these numbers were more than what used to be in the past, aspetition this time was particrly fierce and the reason was quite simple. in the past, only the top 50 received a reward but this time it was increased to a hundred, which means top 100 would receive rich rewards. This was done just to attract more inner and outer sect disciples to participate. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Editor: thatguywhosthere Chapter 20 – A brief appearance Chapter 20 ¨C A brief appearance Ye Xiwen and Wang Lie both rushed to thepetition venue, Wang Lie with some excitement said: ¡°Man, this time you have to get a good rank!¡± Wang Lie did not participate this time, to get into top hundred ranks, at least one should be at the fourth stage, but he just had a breakthrough recently, he knew very well that he didn¡¯t have a chance this time, in fact he had never been that ambitious. ¡°En!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°But you have to be careful, I heard the news that Ma Ying is nning to deal with you!¡± Wang Lie said seriously, ¡°Ma Ying has put the word out encouraging others to cripple you as a revenge for his younger brother!¡± ¡°Cripple me? Hmmm, let¡¯s see if he has the skill!¡± Ye Xiwen said with a sneer. Venue was packed with crowd, Ye Xiwen arrived on the scene first and took out the Serial No. 127 for himself, there were two numbers of same serial number, the first opponent would be the one who drew out the same serial number, once the time arrived, key figures within the Yi Yuan school arrived sessively, they were using the technique ¡®flying high false step¡¯, to fly above the high tform. (TL: can also be called ¡®Volley virtual step¡¯) In the eyes of all the disciples shed a look of envy, although ¡®flying high false step¡¯ was not an actual flight, but it was not something they could easily attain. Everyone suppressed their breaths to this performance, they were Yi Yuan school seniors and the true backbone that supported the school, Yuan n people and Zhang n were already the most powerful parallel forces of the Qingfeng mountain and nearby region, and if their performance was good, they could receive a reward from some elder, that would lead to a meteoric rise, this had happened in the past! Ye Xiwen in those elders, saw his father Ye Kongming¡¯s figure, among the group of elders, it did not seem conspicuous. The venue upied a very widend area, two hundred tforms (TL: arenas or rings) were ced for the contest. Wang Lie and Ye Xiwen both went to the No. 127 arena. ¡°You are No.127 ring¡¯s other contestant¡± Ye Xiwen just saw a big and tall disciple who walked over to himughing and said, ¡°You really have a bad luck, unexpectedly have bumped into Shi Feng brother, just admit defeat!¡± ¡°Shi Feng brother has acquired the peak of fifth stage, even if to get into the top 50 ranks, he is definitely capable!¡± that tall disciple continued. ¡°You, if you do not hurry up and admit defeat now, when the timees, it will be difficult to give up before losing some of your body parts!¡± Wang Lie¡¯splexion also changed: ¡°I did not expect it would actually be Shi Feng!¡± ¡°Ah man, it¡¯s too bad, that your first opponent turned out to be that Shi Feng, his methods are very malicious and ruthless, three years ago in thepetition, there were several disciples who admitted defeat, their bones were broken, causing 6 months worth of injuries!¡± ¡°Quite a bully!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Bully, ha ha ha, for a long time no one has called me a bully!¡± Suddenly a burst ofughter spread in the arena, ¡°You don¡¯t have a good luck I suppose, as someone has asked me to break your legs!¡± Ye Xiwen looked up, there he saw a tall tower-like young man, with a fiendishly grinning face looking at Ye Xiwen. It was Shi Feng. ¡°Boy, do you dare toe up now!¡± Shi Feng grinned, ¡°So long as you kowtow a 100 times, I¡¯ll let you off!¡± ¡°That depends on you!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, and jumped on. ¡°Now that you have received benefits from others to break my legs, I¡¯ll make you bear the consequences for your sins!¡± ¡°Young boy, you really dare toe up, a move, with just one hit I will beat you!¡± Shi Fengughed loudly. ¡°127th arena fight, begin!¡± the referee saw both of them standing and ready, then opened his mouth and spoke, as for the two previous dialogues, he turned a deaf ear, as if he did not hear anything. As referee¡¯s voice just fell, Shi Feng shot out like a shell from the catapult, although tall, but his speed was incredibly fast, he rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Although this person was insolent, but his strength was the real deal, although his agility was not on a high level, but the explosive force was great, in a blink of an eye he had rushed to the front of Ye Xiwen. Shi Feng grinned fiendishly and opened his big hand to directly twist Ye Xiwen¡¯s head. ¡°Elders Ye, is that your son fighting on the 127th tform!¡± said the elder sitting close to Ye Kongming. ¡°It is my son!¡± Ye Kongming smiled and nodded. ¡°I recall, more than a decade ago elder Ye was embracing him when he returned, I just saw him once, but in a blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed, he is already this big now!¡± The elder said with emotion. ¡°His opponent can be a tough one!¡± The elder while staring at the ring, said, ¡°Inborn natural power, he is more formidable than an average person!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, this will allow him to gain experience!¡± Ye Kongming smiled, as if he didn¡¯t care, but the eyes were tightly locked in the ring, somewhat worried. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen stuck his palm out, it hit fiercely right on Shi Feng¡¯s big hand, the two sides directly caused a collision making a sound of huge air explosion. Ye Xiwen stood there calm and motionless, Shi Feng had an inborn natural power, although he had just acquired the peak of fifth stage, but the strength in his hand was absolutely over the sixth stage,parable to the masters of sixth stage, but he still could not move Ye Xiwen even the slightest. ¡°Impossible!¡± Shi Feng¡¯s one pair of cow-like eyes was full of surprise looking at Ye Xiwen, unbelievably, even if it was a sixth stage master, his strength was not one bit inferior, but unexpectedly Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t budge. ¡°Boom!¡± Apanied with a burst of thunderstorm sound, Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm shot out a group of torpedo shaped Qi, with a lightning speed, enormous and mighty, a palm pressed against Shi Feng¡¯s chest. ¡°Bang!¡± Shi Feng¡¯s tower-like body was flown up when shot by Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm, his blood sprayed all over, bones in his body were broken in half, and he fell directly off the stage. ¡°What, how is this possible!¡± The audience was in uproar, all the people paying attention to this battle could not believe their eyes, they had been very optimistic about this Shi Feng, but he couldn¡¯t even stop Ye Xiwen¡¯s one move, was actually sent flying out of the arena, no one knew whether he was alive or dead. ¡°Cheating, he must be cheating!¡± Several disciples who were close to Shi Feng suddenly found it difficult to ept started yelling and said, ¡°He has definitely plotted against Shi Feng brother!¡± Made a brief appearance and sent Shi Feng flying, how was this possible. ¡°Shut up!¡± the referee said in a cold voice, who was right or wrong, he saw very clearly, did not need those juniors to teach him what to do. ¡°Thispetition, Ye Xiwen wins, now he will enter the second round!¡± ¡°Idiots!¡± Ye Xiwen nced at those disciples. Shi Feng however was just a small pawn, presumably, Ma Ying was the one behind, but there was no rush, Ma Ying was popr, to win the championship , sooner orter, they would meet for sure. ¡°Good, good, unexpectedly, I was totally wrong!¡± The elder sitting close to Ye kongming said with a smile. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 21 – In one move Chapter 21 ¨C In one move ¡°Seems like, he is practicing well!¡± Ye Kongming seemed serious in speech and manner, but smile spilled on his face from time to time because he was in a good mood, he had thought, with Ye Xiwen¡¯s current cultivation, if he could just pass through the first round, it would be very good, but he had not expected that he could so easily break through the first round, so naturally the second round would unlikely pose any problem, he might even break into the third round, or into the top hundred, naturally he was in a good mood. After the first round was over, Ye Xiwen did not have to wait too long for the second round. His second opponent was a boy of same age as him, he was wearing a Chinese robe, and his face was filled with pride. ¡°Wang Shaoqi!¡± Ye Xiwen said. The boy looked lightly at Ye Xiwen and said: ¡°You might as well surrender as early as possible, so as to avoid the time of suffering!¡± At this time the disciples were talking amongst themselves, someone recognized this boy¡¯s origins. ¡°It¡¯s actually Wang Shaoqi, he practices tiger cannon fist, which is a high level martial arts, very powerful,st time he was just an inner sect disciple, but relying on the power of tiger cannon fist, he beat a lot of senior-level disciples and made them flee ignominiously (TL: µÄ±§Í·Êó´Ü means to cover one¡¯s head and sneak away like a rat (idiom); to flee ignominiously), he almost squeezed into the top 100, and then he was received by an elder as his own personal apprentice. He is said to have already acquired the peak of fifth stage, and those who have acquired sixth stage also may not be his opponent!¡± ¡°Really, no wonder he is so proud, but this Ye Xiwen is also far from simple, ah, just now that Shi Feng couldn¡¯t block his one move, with one hit he fell unconscious, alive or dead we don¡¯t know, it seems like it may end up in a fiercepetition between two evenly matched opponents!¡± Wang Shaoqi seemed to have heard thementary going on in the crowd of disciples, he immediately sneered and said: ¡°You think just because you defeated Shi Feng you can be my match? I¡¯m not a barbarian like Shi Feng, he has brute force but doesn¡¯t know how to use it and is also an idiot!¡± ¡°Cut the crap!¡± Ye Xiwen said indifferently. ¡°See if I don¡¯t show you some power¡± Wang Shaoqi Shouted loudly, behind him appeared a huge amount of energy, the mighty and fierce spiritual Qi scattered in all directions instantly. It seemed as if a fierce tiger was descending from the mountain. (TL: ¿´ÎÒ²»¸øÄãµãÀ÷º¦ÇÆÇÆ! ) This was the ¡®tiger cannon fist¡¯ practiced to the most profound realm, and the surrounding air had condensed into a head of tiger. ¡°Bang!¡± Wang Shaoqi took a step, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the very next moment it appeared right in front of Ye Xiwen, then his fist exploded into a punch, ¡°Roaring Tiger in the mountain forest!¡± The moment seemed as if a fierce tiger was roaring in a mountain forest, Wang Shaoqi had turned into a tiger, enveloped in evil power. An Elder watching from the elder seats looked at Wang Shaoqi with a smiling face, he was the master of Wang Shaoqi, Hu Chano, just then a nearby elderughed and said: ¡°Last time, Wang Shaoqi almost broke into the top 100, setting a record, this ¡®tiger cannon fist¡¯pared to three years ago, must have advanced by leaps and bounds, this time he can at least break into the top twenty!¡± ¡°Ah, Wang shaoqi¡¯s age is too small, duration and degree of cultivation is also very different, this will let him experience and gain insights from the superior disciples of this province, he still does not know the immensity of the universe!¡± said elder Hu Chano quite seriously, but his face couldn¡¯t conceal the happy expression and contentment. ¡°However, this person is not an opponent for Qi¡¯er!¡± Suddenly, one of the disciples eximed. They actually saw that with just a step, Yi Xiwen¡¯s whole figure suddenly disappeared in front of Wang Shaoqi, it was precisely the Celestial steps. Wang Shaoqi¡¯s whole body passed through the location where Ye Xiwen was earlier, only then he realized that something was wrong. ¡°Not good!¡± Wang Shaoqi finally recovered his self-confidence, and felt the problem. ¡°Toote!¡± Ye Xiwen appeared behind Wang Shaoqi, ??and pped on Wang Shaoqi¡¯s body. ¡°Bang!¡± Wang Shaoqi didn¡¯t even get a chance to react, he was directly pped out of the ring by Ye Xiwen, but he(Ye Xiwen) did not seriously injure him. Wang Shaoqi was sent out flying with just one hit, he still could not believe that he did not block even one move from Ye Xiwen. A momentter, Wang Shaoqi smiled bitterly while cupping one hand over the other across the chest he said to Ye Xiwen: ¡°Ye brother, many thanks for showing mercy, in the past I was really ignorant and narrow-minded, it unexpectedly is very ridiculous! ¡± (TL: ×ø¾®¹ÛÌì is actually an idiom ¡®to view the sky from the bottom of a well (idiom); ignorant and narrow-minded) Wang Shaoqi turned and left, his figure seemed a bit lonely. ¡°What, how is this possible, how could that Ye Xiwen be so powerful, even Wang Shaoqi was not his match, he unexpectedly flew out of the ring in one move, it¡¯s really incredible!¡± The oue of this fight caused a lot of disturbance, a lot of people had not expected that Ye Xiwen could actually defeat Wang Shaoqi so easily, without even fighting as they had imagined. Wang Shaoqi was considered a genius among the inner sect disciples, three years ago he had entered the inner sect for the first time, then he had almost broken into the top 100, this time his goal was to break into first 20 ranks, or even 10, then he would be a popr candidate to be counted in the top future core disciples. He had encountered many adventures, and was also received as a disciple by an elder, but such a formidable genius, had actually lost to Ye Xiwen, moreover was defeated in one move, it was simply hard to imagine. That Hu Chano was suppressed with shame very much like a pig¡¯s liver, although a moment ago what he said was very modest, but everyone could see that he was satisfied (with his disciple), but his voice just fell, Wang Shaoqi was defeated by Ye Xiwen in just one move, this was equivalent to being severely thrown a p in the face. ¡°Congrattions, congrattions, Elder Ye, this son of yours really has stolen all the limelight, he broke through the second round in such a rxed manner, ha ha, I am afraid the top ten ranks are not a problem anymore!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, all three children from Elder Ye¡¯s house are outstanding!¡± From the elder seats on one side spread a burst of congrattory voice, leaving elder Hu with an ugly face. Ye Kongming simply could not speak, that his son was different, he was actually very humble. In his heart, he was very satisfied with Ye Xiwen¡¯s performance, he unexpectedly had disappeared and a monthter, but his progress was actually so great that even that famous genius Wang Shaoqi from three years ago was defeated in one move. But unexpectedly in his heart, he also had some expectations, as to which path his youngest son would take. ¡°Humphl!¡± Hu Chano¡¯s face looked ugly, he coldly uttered a sigh, ¡°he was just opportunistic, he relied on a good agility technique, he will fail eventually, even getting into top 30 rankings is impossible for him!¡± Elder seats were suddenly bustling up with noise. ¡°This Ye Xiwen is amazing, ah, in the past, unexpectedly no one actually knew about him, no one thought seeing his outer appearance that he possessed this much strength, and also we do not know at what time he will be forced out!¡± ¡°Yes, you saw, he was also carrying a long de behind him, but there is no evidence that de was used, gee, extraordinary!¡± Also many elders and a friend of Hu Chano, said. ¡°The third son from elder Ye¡¯s house, who does not know, that his power was mediocre, but it suddenly progressed by leaps and bounds, he certainly has swallowed some kind of material treasure, which promotes the progressing speed of the cultivation, but this realm is very unstable, if encountered a real master, he will copse at the first blow.¡± ¡°Spiritual cultivation slowly grows along the way, but this is an acquired realm, to rely on a material treasure to qualify, in the future his achievements will stop!¡± The elders were talking about in session, however high above the tform had its own enchantment, and the people underneath were not aware as to what the elders were talking about. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 22 – Then I will show you enough Chapter 22 ¨C Then I will show you enough Ye Xiwen was naturally not aware of the face that he had be the talk of the elders, but he did not have time to care about that. Since his fight had ended early in the morning, he had a lot of time to see thepetition of other people. After the first round of thepetition was over, there were only a hundred individuals left for the second round. Compared to the first round, the second round had many high level contestants. Even the worst of them had also acquired the peak of fourth stage. Ye Xiwen also saw an extremely powerful master. He would shoot a huge burst of spiritual power to easily beat his opponents. All these people were the masters of sixth stage, and were already considered as elites in the inner sect. Ye Xiwen¡¯s third round opponent was much powerful than Wang Shaoqi, even Shi Feng was not his match. However his cultivation was just at the peak of fifth stage and was easily pped down by Ye xiwen¡¯s palm. He easily got past the third round, which made him to receive a lot of attention from Yi Yuan School¡¯s key figures. Most of the elders began to focus specifically on him, much like paying attention to those geniuses. Getting past the third round, he had easily entered into the top 50 ranks, and after thepletion of fourth round, he would already be in the top 30. Elder Hu¡¯splexion was getting increasingly ugly. He had imed that Ye Xiwen would absolutely not enter into the top 50 ranks, however he easily got past the third round and was now in the top 50. If Ye Xiwen were to pass the fourth round, then he would lose his face, this would be like a p on his face. (TL: In chapter 21, author has written ¡®Ye Xiwen would not be able to get into the top 30 ranks¡¯, but in this chapter, it was changed to ¡®top 50 ranks¡¯ by the author) And it was not at all difficult for him to get past the third round, all he did was use one move to win the matches, no one couldpel him to use a second move. No one could evenpel him to use his martial arts, all he did was lightly p his palm and the opponent would fly out. Ye Xiwen had been using just one move to defeat his opponents while easily winning all the fights. This led to a sudden rise in his reputation among the disciples. Many people started to pay attention to his fights. ¡°The strength of this Ye Xiwen is simply unfathomable, and unexpectedly no one could actually force him to use his real moves. As to which martial arts technique he practices, no one knows!¡± ¡°Look, he has a broadsword on his back. It¡¯s certainly a knife!¡± ¡°No, someone saw, his martial art is a palm technique and it has a hint of thunderp, it is definitely Rushing thunder hand!¡± ¡°Even his martial arts cannot be forced out, it¡¯s really amazing!¡± ¡°But the next time he can¡¯t be so rxed because his next opponent is going to be Tang Nian. He is already a master of the sixth stage and he has easily hacked through all the challenges. It is really going to be a toughpetition!¡± Ye Xiwen also heard these arguments but he did not mind them at all. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you coulde this far, however you¡¯d better pray not to bump into me!¡± When Ye Xiwen was meditating, a shadow came over, it was actually a strong youth in his twenties carrying a pair of huge copper hammer on his back, ¡°otherwise, I will let you taste the same pain my brother had to suffer!¡± ¡°You are Ma Ying?¡± Ye Xiwen responded immediately, this person should be that Ma Ying no doubt about it. ¡°Your younger brother has done all sorts of evil things, and so many people were forced by him to lose everything they had. This is retribution!¡± ¡°I do not care what my brother has done, but today I will definitely avenge my brother, you¡¯d better surrender soon, or I will tear off your limbs!¡± said Ma Ying with an evil grin on his face. Ye Xiwen stayed calm and looked coldly at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid? If you are scared then escape quickly, ha ha ha ha!¡± Ma Ying said whileughing. Many disciples were discussing about in the crowd. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have thought that there was actually hatred between Ma Ying and Ye Xiwen, Gee, this is probably going to be a lot of fun!¡± ¡°Tsk , I heard that Ye Xiwen severely injured Ma Yan in front of everyone and was bedridden for a long time. This was the main reason and including Ma Ying¡¯s vengeful character, this matter couldn¡¯t be ignored!¡± ¡°This Ma Ying is easily one of the top five figures, so Ye Xiwen won¡¯t just have his four limbs broken right!¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen is not someone to be trifled with so easily, so far none of the opponents could force him to use a second move!¡± ¡°Hey, let me measure your strength, let¡¯s see if you can win against Tang Nian!¡± Ma Ying grinned fiendishly and suddenly dashed like a killer. Suddenly a sledgehammer flew out from his back, with his big hands grabbing it, and he shoved it mercilessly towards Ye Xiwen producing a howling wind like sound. Ma Ying was an arrogant man, but his strength was not a joke. His cultivation was definitely at the peak of sixth stage, second to none among the inner sect disciples. His terrible power had firmly locked on Ye Xiwen and the sledgehammer then smashed down immediately. This was to test Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength, but it was simply looking for an excuse to cripple him. Ye Xiwen took a few steps, and his figure, just like that of a celestial being, freely and easily escaped this hammer attack. But who would have thought that Ma Ying was also using the celestial step to catch up with him, however Ma Ying¡¯s celestial step was filled with explosive power and strength. It was quite different! Ma Ying¡¯s eyes shed with killing intent, grinning again and again. He trotted to keep up with Ye Xiwen, with a heavy sledgehammer in his hands as if it was nothing, then he mmed it down fiercely. ¡°Boom!¡± The sledgehammer smashed with immense power creating a big hole in the ground, but Ye Xiwen had easily dodged this attack. ¡°How could you actually ...¡± Ma Ying looked astonishingly at him, he certainly figured it out that Ye Xiwen was using celestial step, which caused his hatred to grow even more. Ye Xiwen certainly took it from his brother¡¯s body, but he was not worried as he had beem practicing celestial step for more than a year, so how could this guy be better than him. However just now Ye Xiwen had easily dodged his hammer attack, and was unexpectedly at the third level (Xiao Cheng) of celestial step! He was still at the second level (Entering the inner chamber) of celestial steps and there was still a long way to go to reach the Xiao Cheng! ¡°Idiot!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. ¡°Die!¡± Ma Ying was suddenly furious, hepletely erupted with anger, his spiritual qi quickly rose to the top, much more violentpared to the Wang Shaoqi. However Wang Shaoqi was able topete with masters of the early sixth stage in thepetition three years ago, but Ma Ying was ranked among the top five masters in this session of inner sect disciples. He had easily won all his battles and was almost without a rival. ¡°This time I will turn you into a corpse!¡± Ma Ying¡¯s spiritual qi had locked onto Ye Xiwen. A monstrous and overwhelming qi spread all over the ce, and two sledgehammers roared and smashed as if two hills had pounded in general. Ye Xiwen could feel dozens of tyrannical gazes sweeping over him, out of which there were a lot with evil intentions. There were even the Xiantian level masters among them, just their gazes were enough to give him chills. (TL: basically everyone was waiting for Ye Xiwen to use his martial arts) He knew that Ye Kongming was an elder at the Yi Yuan School, so he would naturally have friends as well as enemies. He did not know how many of these enemies were hidden in the shadows, waiting for his father to be aughingstock. Since they want to see, I will show them enough! Any schemes and tricks, in the face of true strength, are like the floating clouds! The true strength that he had been hiding all this timepletely erupted, and shot up high into the sky. He directly acquired the peak of sixth stage. ¡°What, Ye Xiwen has already acquired the peak of sixth stage!¡± ¡ª¡ª Chapter 23 – Best shot Chapter 23 ¨C Best shot (TL: I was half asleep while editing this chapter , so if you guys find any mistakes in the chapter, please point out in thement section) Numerous people who were paying attention to this fight had a feeling of countless eyesses breaking from falling down on the ground and now they could see the truth very clearly. Ma Ying was powerful enough to be ced in the top five figures of the inner sect disciples. Since thepetition had started, he had constantly used his extremely tyrannical strength to rush rampaging through his fights all the way to the present. However no one would have expected that Ye Xiwen had actually hidden his true strength and it was unexpectedly sufficient enough to bepared favorably with inner sect¡¯s top five disciples. Ye Xiwen finally shot his Rushing thunder hand fiercely causing a thunderstorm-like rumbling sound which echoed above the venue. ¡°Three!¡± ¡°Four!¡± ¡°Five!¡± ¡°Six!¡± Ye Xiwen directly shot a total six echoes. This attack was extremely fast, enough to leave afterimages. ¡°Ha ha, you dare to use your hands against my sledgehammer, you really are seeking death, look how I smash your hands into smithereens!¡± Ma Yingughed hideously. He used his two hammers like mountains and directly pressed down with overwhelming power to block all the space around Ye Xiwen. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud sound of explosion, Ye Xiwen¡¯s hands directly mmed into the pair of sledgehammers, causing a huge shock wave. Suddenly all of the people watching this battle were stunned, as they had imagined that both his hands would break apart and disappearpletely from the scene. However on the contrary his pair of hands, like a formidable force, had directly destroyed the sledgehammers. Ye Xiwen¡¯s one hit had blown those sledgehammers into smithereens. Iron back silver monkeys possessed stronger body than ordinary as if reinforced with a steel frame. It was difficult for the swords and spears to pierce their bodies all thanks to that special liquor that they had regrly consumed. And this month he had also consumed a huge amount of the same liquor which he had stolen from their cave, and that resulted in reinforcing his mortal body to a great extent. His power had already reached the strength of 19 Tigers, while Ma Ying had only the strength of 9 Tigers. Ma Ying wanted to overwhelm him using his power but he didn¡¯t know that his strength was 10 levels short of Ye Xiwen whose strength was far beyond his own. ¡°Pass like thunder and move like the wind!¡± Ye Xiwen, after destroying the pair of sledgehammers, mmed his palm right into Ma Ying¡¯s robust body. ¡°Bang!¡± Ma Ying simply had no time to resist and with a bang, he flew out into the sky. ¡°Stop!¡± Suddenly a loud burst of sound rang in the sky. Ye Xiwen paid no attention to it and suddenly the air exploded beneath his feet. Using the celestial step, he instantly pursued behind his flying body with both his hands like a pair of shadows that filled the entire sky with a barrage of attacks and severely pped Ma Ying¡¯s still-flying body multiple times. ¡°Lightning and Thunder!¡± ¡°Ghostly Thunder Axe!¡± ¡°Leveling Storm Four Strokes!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Ma Ying¡¯s tall figure fell fiercely on the ground, all the bones in his body had been broken and his body looked in a very bad state. The most important thing was the sea of qi surrounding his body that was directly shattered in the barrage of attacks. This sea of qi was the essence of a warrior¡¯s cultivation, and was also the true storage ce for the spiritual power. He had exposed this sea of qi, although he didn¡¯t die but his cultivation hadpletely been destroyed and in the future, it would be impossible for him to continue practicing. Ye Xiwen knew that this viin would retaliate endlessly until he got his revenge, but in presence of such arge crowd of people, it was impossible to kill him. So once he exposed his sea of qi, Ye Xiwen used this opportunity topletely cut off any future troubles. ¡°Ye Xiwen, how dare you, you did not hear me when I told you to stop?¡± At this time a figure dropping from the sky on the site. He actually saw a Yi Yuan School¡¯s elder d in ck clothes and was ring angrily at him. Ye Xiwen knew that this ck d elder was called Wang Jian. He was the lord of Yi Yuan School¡¯s penalty pce and hence was in charge of punishing disciples, which was reason why ordinary disciples were very afraid of him. And most importantly, Wang Jian and Ye Kongming had never been on good terms and this had led to a huge umtion of resentment. ¡°Under the watchful eyes of the public, you have injured a disciple of the same school. If only our Yi Yuan School¡¯s ancestor had not set thatw which allows bringing in people like you to grow up in the school. It¡¯s definitely a disaster for our Yi Yuan School!¡± Wang Jian said while buckling up the big hat on his head. ¡°Injuring the disciple of the same school, with a big hat like that, you can¡¯t even see, are all the people here blind? It was Ma Ying who attacked me first and wanted to kill me as well. I was just defending myself!¡± Ye Xiwen said bluntly. Wang Jian and Ye Kongming had been hostile towards each other for a long time, not to mention now that he had got a chance, he was simply looking for trouble. ¡°You really have a sharp mouth kid!¡± Wang Jian stared coldly at Ye Xiwen and said, ¡°You say it was for self-defense but you have unexpectedly damaged his cultivation! Moreover Ma Ying is considered a genius in our Yi Yuan School and by damaging his cultivation, you havemitted a serious crime!¡± ¡°Then doesn¡¯t that mean one can¡¯t fight back in self-defense when he is being bullied, just what kind ofw is this!¡± Ye Xiwen retorted then said, ¡°Besides if he is really a genius then why couldn¡¯t he stop even one of my moves. He is nothing but a loser, and even if the school uses more resources in his development, it will be nothing but a waste of resources!¡± ¡°I was only defending myself and let the people do the justice because you can¡¯t hide anything from them!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Well I am the lord of the penalty pce and I have full authority over giving punishments. You have injured a disciple from the same school and the evidence is solid so don¡¯t even think about denying your crime!¡± Wang Jian suddenly used a tyrannical power of Xiantian level which caused his spiritual qi to explode and spread out like a big hand trying to grab Ye Xiwen. Then the qi turned into a w trying to grab him by his shoulders. If he had been seized firmly by that w then his shoulder would have dislocated then and there. Quite vicious! Ye Xiwen suddenly took a step and trotted very fast using his celestial step to retreat, but Wang Jian also caught up with him and tried to grab him with his w. However it almost missed him resulting into a terrible air explosion. ¡°Aaaaah!¡± Ye Xiwen gave a loud shout. He was forced into a dead end and Wang Jian used his tyrannical qi to firmly lock him down. ¡°ng!¡± Ye Xiwen suddenly withdrew a long de from his back causing a loud metal nging sound and instantly used the first move of ¡®Cold moon beheader¡¯ technique called ¡®new moon beheader¡¯. Nine de shadows suddenly appeared in the sky and fiercely rushed towards Wang Jian. These shadows were extremely fast and even contained some power from the rushing thunder hand. Nine de shadows contained a very monstrous power and spread all over the sky, unexpectedly blocking all the space around Wang Jian with unimaginable power. No one had expected that his de attack would actually be so powerful. This was his real strength. Since all this time he had been defeating his opponents with one move, he did not need to use his real strength but when he was cornered, he had to resort to his most powerful attack. Swift and fierce knife-like wind was blowing in the venue causing a stinging sensation which was quite painful for the crowd. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Wang JIan¡¯s eyes shed with horror as he had not expected Ye Xiwen to actually use this kind of powerful de attack in such a desperate situation. Wang Jian suddenly took several steps and his figure turned into a lightning sh and withdrew from the scope of this de shadow attack which had instantaneously covered arge area. He barely escaped from this blow. As he was going to attack again, suddenly a loud shout exploded in the sky: ¡°Old fool, stop hurting my son!¡± A big hand covered all of the sky and descended towards Wang Jian forming a few metersrge palm made of qi. Wang Jian¡¯s hands also stretched out to go up to wee the iing attack. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrible explosion spread in the range of tens of meters causing even the air to explode. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 24 – Enters into the top three Chapter 24 ¨C Enters into the top three Wang Jian was pushed back several steps and each step made a few inches deep footprint in the ground. This was all just to stop the enormous force present in Ye Kongming¡¯s previous attack. His face looked a little flushed and it seemed like this time he had suffered a small defeat. A person¡¯s shadow fell into the crowd having an extraordinary aura around it. It was Ye Kongming. All of the disciples present there were watching intently because this was going to be a fight between two prominent school elders who were also Xiantian level masters and this fight was definitely not something one could witness any time. ¡°Ye Kongming, are you going to cover for your son?¡± Wang Jian shouted. ¡°Wang Jian, you think I don¡¯t know? Your n is to use your official power for revenge, my son was only defending himself but you dare to distort the facts and use my son falsely!¡± Ye Kongming said in a cold voice. ¡°I am the lord of penalty pce and formitting such an act, your son should be punished in ordance with thew. He should be abolished from practicing martial arts and should also be expelled from the school!¡± Wang Jian said in a stern voice. ¡°Well, since when did Yi Yuan school start punishing for self-defense. My son only did this in self-defense and that too under the watchful eyes of so many people who can testify for my son¡¯s innocence so don¡¯t you dare teach me what¡¯s right or wrong. Don¡¯t make me report this to the ancestor because then you will definitely lose your position as the lord of penalty pce!¡± Ye Kongming said without the slightest amount of doubt in his voice. Various thoughts started flowing into Wang Jian¡¯s mind. Including the people present there, he himself knew very well whether Ye Xiwen was innocent or guilty. In fact, it was all because of the feud between him and Ye Kongming and he wanted to vent his hatred on his son¡¯s body. He had nned to capture and hurt Ye Xiwen using a surprise attack but unexpectedly Ye Xiwen was actually able to dodge it quite easily. If the ancestor got to know about this incident, he would naturally be very fond of such a young talent, although Ye Xiwen had used his powers brutally but it was after all in self-defense. ¡°Well, today you are defending your son but sooner orter you will regret it!¡± Wang Jian soon turned to leave without even looking once towards Ma Ying as if he didn¡¯t care whether he lived or died. ¡°That Ye Xiwen is so fierce. I would never have imagined that there was such a monster hiding among the disciples and no one knew about his existence until now. Not even a Xiantian master¡¯s fierce attacks could hurt him at all!¡± ¡°Gee, that de is simply invincible, I am afraid even the masters of the seventh stage can¡¯t escape its range!¡± ¡°What sort of evildoer is he, even his Rushing thunder hand technique is extremely profound and that de is absolutely terrible!¡± ¡°Ye child, I had not expected that in such a short period of time, you would obtain such a powerful fighting strength, and that de technique must be an intermediate level skill right!¡± Ye Kongming asked. ¡°Yes, this child practices the ¡¶Cold moon beheader¡· technique¡± Since it was already exposed, there was nothing to hide anyway, of course, he would not take the initiative to say that it was actually not an intermediate level de technique but a Xiantian level technique and that it also had two more moves. (TL: Cold moon beheader has three moves named ¡®new moon beheader¡¯, ¡®missing moon beheader¡¯ and ¡®full moon beheader¡¯) ¡°Good, good!¡± Seeing his son¡¯s sudden burst of fighting strength, he was feeling very happy because now he could proudly proim that all his kids were geniuses. ¡°Haha, being your father even I had underestimated your strength in the past but to think that you had this kind of powerful fighting strength, now you can easilypete for the first rank!¡± Ye Kongming said whileughing. ¡°Well done!¡± Ye Kongming didn¡¯t stay with his son and returned back to his seat among the elders. Thanks to the series of tragedies, a lot of time had passed and the fourth round of thepetition had already begun. A twenty years old youth was standing on the stage and was also the opponent that Ye Xiwen was supposed to fight in the fourth round. His name was Tang Nian. Ye Xiwen jumped into the arena then cupped his hands across his chest and said: ¡°Ye Xiwen! I made Brother Tang to wait for a long time!¡± Tang Nian had a somewhatplex expression on his face. Ye Xiwen had used just a move to defeat Ma Ying and he had also seen his battle with Wang Jian. He knew very well that he would never be an opponent for Ye Xiwen as originally, with his strength at the peak of sixth stage, he could have broken into the top ten and the next time, he might have entered the ranks of the core disciples, however he had not expected to actually encounter Ye Xiwen and thanks to this, now it was impossible for him to enter into the fifth round. Struggling for a while, Tang cupped his hands across his chest and said: ¡°Brother Ye, I do not consider myself as your opponent so I admit defeat!¡± Tang Nian¡¯s admitting defeat was although an ident in the eyes of disciples, but it was also expected because Tang Nian was strong enough to be counted among the top ten ranks. However Ye Xiwen hadpletely and easily crushed Ma Ying and hence established his own status thoroughly. Ma Ying was one of the top five inner sect disciples, but while fighting Ye Xiwen , he still couldn¡¯t stop a single move. So it was quite obvious that Ye Xiwen had naturally reced Ma Ying and positioned himself into the hearts of countless disciples as the new member of the ¡®five great disciples¡¯. So Tang Nian¡¯s admitting defeat was an anticipated ident. After Tang Nian admitted his defeat, Ye Xiwen¡¯s next opponent who had also reached the peak of sixth stage was unwilling to give up, but was pped out of the arena in one move. Including the back to back victories in these two rounds, Ye Xiwen had easily broken into the top six ranks. In addition to him, four of the original inner sect¡¯s top five masters had impressively also entered the top six ranks. In addition to these five people, one person was also nominated into the top six ranks. He was an intimidating man of strong build and his cultivation was already at the peak of sixth stage. Ye Xiwen had finally met a true master as his next opponent, who was ranked third in the top five masters, named Zhang Xiang. After defeating him, he could enter the top three. ¡°Please advise me!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Brother Ye is quite strong, even that Ma Ying was easily defeated by you!¡± Zhang Xiang said. ¡°But Ma Ying was the weakest of us five disciples, so it won¡¯t be easy for you to beat me!¡± Ye Xiwen also knew that Zhang Xiang had been a part of the top five inner sect disciples for a long time. Zhang Xiang released all his power without any restraint and surprisingly he was at the middle of seventh stage, no wonder he said that Ma Ying was the weakest among them. Many of the disciples were amazed, because an inner sect disciple had actually reached the seventh stage, and even after reaching the seventh stage, why had he not be a core disciple? ¡°Stonefall fist!¡± Zhang Xiang shouted loudly, his eyes suddenly gave a sharp look and his figure exploded forward with a pair of fists above wrapped in ayer of pale yellow and intimidating Qi. He had obtained this boxing technique called ¡®truncated fist¡¯ during an adventure years ago. This boxing technique had beenbeled as one of the most powerful techniques in the school. Zhang Xiang in an instant appeared in front of Ye Xiwen and his fists like two hills smashed down on him. ¡°Rushing thunder hand!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted softly as his hands wrapped in ayer of thunder like Qi which moved up to wee the iing attack. Ye Xiwen hands struck out six echoes. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Both sides exchanged blows while their shadows interlocked. Ye Xiwen had reached the peak of his strength but Zhang Xiang was actually in a situation as if his strength was breaking ten thousandws. Finally their fists pounded fiercely. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s Rushing thunder hand once again made a loud explosion-like sound and the power suddenly increased dramatically. His palms directly collided with Zhang Xiang¡¯s double-fist which cracked instantly upon impact, and then his palm directly printed on his chest. ¡°Bang!¡± Zhang Xiang was pped by a palm and he flew directly out of the arena while upside down. ¡°This fight¡¯s victor is, Ye Xiwen!¡± Ye Xiwen smoothly entered into the top three. Chapter 25 – Three moves to knock you down Chapter 25 ¨C Three moves to knock you down ¡°That Ye Xiwen is just too strong, to think he was actually able to enter into the top three ranks!¡± ¡°I heard he is the youngest son of Elder Ye Kongming, no wonder he is so strong, not even one of the Ye siblings is weak!¡± The news of Ye Xiwen advancing into the top three had suddenly shocked so many people that the news of other disciples entering into the top ten had paled inparison. To the extent that almost no one even knew their names. Of course, it was not like no one knew about the importance of this news for example Wang Lie. He surrounded Ye Xiwen excitedly and said: ¡°Ha ha ha, ah man, you are fucking awesome, if Ie across something unexpected in the future, and if someone dares to bully me, then you help me beat him!¡± (TL: Wang Lie has used the term ¡®niubi¡¯ which has many meanings but I prefer to trante it as ¡®fucking awesome¡¯ or ¡®kick-ass¡¯) Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. What was he, Wang Lie¡¯s bodyguard? Or goon! However Ye Xiwen felt warm in his heart because no matter what he said, Wang Lie considered himself as his brother! ¡°Walking sideways, he is nothing but an upstart who pretends as if he is really a niubi character when he does not even know the immensity of the universe!¡± Suddenly a sarcastic voice spread from one side. (TL: basically he wants Ye Xiwen to know his ce and stop showing off as if he is the most powerful guy even though he is so young and doesn¡¯t know that many powerful masters exist in this world) Everyone looked in the direction from where the voice had originated and saw a young man about 20 years old, d in a Chinese robe. He looked handsome, but there was a look of disdain on his face. Someone recognized this young man as Zhao Yanxue. He was one of the ¡®five great disciples¡¯, ranking second, and hence was also one of the top three inner sect disciples. (TL: Ye Xiwen is now the third and Zhao Yanxue is the second) ¡°What did you say?¡± Ye Xiwen said immediately in a cold voice. ¡°I said you are just like a frog at the bottom of a well who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, where do you think Yi Yuan School stands in this big universe, and you just know how to associate with a trash!¡± Zhao Yanxue said and it was clear that he was calling Wang Lie a trash. When Ye Xiwen was getting a lot of public attention, Zhao Yanxue was simply dying of jealousy. This time he had wanted to enjoy all the attention of the people, but rather it was stolen by some unknown guy named Ye Xiwen. Who was this guy, why was everyone paying attention to him, when he himself had also entered into the top three and had imagined to be the focus of everyone¡¯s attention, but instead of what he had imagined, everyone was paying attention to the sudden emergence of Ye Xiwen. I am a genius not him! Zhao Yanxue was screaming loudly in his heart. ¡°Zhao Yanxue, if you are a man thene up on the stage and y with me!¡± Ye Xiwen said as he turned and jumped into the arena. All the eyes were fixated on Zhao Yanxue, who was ranked second in the top three disciples. This was the right time to find out exactly who was the stronger one between the two of them. Although Zhao Yanxue knew that Ye Xiwen was definitely not someone to be trifled with, but the words had already been said and it was impossible to take them back. Moreover he had also felt that Ye Xiwen was just like a dark horse, so how could he possibly resist against an experienced veteran like himself. ¡°Humph, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson, so that you learn about the immensity of heaven and earth!¡± Zhao Xue sneered and also jumped in the arena. ¡°Dongfang Bai is here!¡± (TL: Dongfang Bai can be tranted as Oriental White) Suddenly there was amotion and a white figure emerged from the crowd, holding a double-edged sword in one hand and was d in white clothes, filled with heroic aura. This double-edged sword although looked ordinary from its sheath and scabbard but when unsheathed, it looked very sharp. Everyone present there knew that he was the first of the ¡®five great disciples¡¯ named Dongfang Bai. There were rumors of him practicing fencing from his childhood, and with a sword in one hand while ranking first among the inner sect disciples, he had challenged a core disciple three years ago. Although he had not won, but he had not lost either which showed his extraordinary strength. Being the first of the five great disciples was certainly not for show. Dongfang Bai just calmly looked at the two and stayed quiet. The top three disciples had gathered here and one could easily guess that this was going to be a fiercepetition between the two evenly matched opponents. Soon the group of elders made the decision to advance thepetition for the title of a champion. ¡°Now no one¡¯s going to save you!¡± Zhao Yanxue said and sneered repeatedly. ¡°Three moves, if I can¡¯t knock you down in three moves then I will turn around and walk away!¡± Ye Xiwen said while showing three fingers. Zhao Yanxue¡¯splexion turned pale immediately after being humiliated out in the open by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Right, exactly, knock him down, what¡¯s so great about these five great disciples anyway!¡± Wang Lie shouted from below. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Zhao Xue said ¡°Today I¡¯ll break all the bones in your body, and allow you to learn about the immensity of heaven and earth!¡± (TL: He seems so desperate to teach him about the immensity of heaven and earth. He reminds me of my geography teacher :P) Zhao Yanxue was burning with anger, his whole body was seething with anger and the Qi had covered all over and around his body causing a noise from the friction from the fine threads of air inside the ring. It seemed like the news of him reaching thete seventh stage was definitely not bogus. As soon as he used his fists to punch, immediately it felt as if the temperature had dropped by several degrees in the entire arena. This was his famous ¡®trembling ice fist¡¯ technique, which when used could directly freeze a person. Endless cold wind instantly wrapped around Ye Xiwen as if trying to freeze him along with his life. But after seeing this, Ye Xiwen shouted loudly, and with just a step his stature exploded out of the snow and rushed towards Zhao Yanxue, then he used his move ¡®pass like thunder and move like the wind¡¯ against ¡®trembling ice fist¡¯ and easily split it open and scattered its power thoroughly. ¡°The immensity of heaven and earth, do you still want to teach me about it!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered while his palm pped. ¡°Bang!¡± An average and not so powerful palm pped directly on his face. ¡°Poof!¡± Zhao Yanxue spurted out a lot of blood, and almost all of his teeth were extracted out by Ye Xiwen. ¡°You ...¡± Zhao Yanxue looked unbelievably at him, but Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t n to stop whatsoever, he immediately used his foot and kicked fiercely. ¡°Bang!¡± Zhao Yanxue flew out in the air from the kick, and in the moment of his fall, Ye Xiwen instantly used his palm covered with thunder-shaped Qi and pped him with a destructive force, having a fearful wave of unmatched power which bombarded fiercely into his body. ¡°Boom!¡± Zhao Yanxue fiercely fell out of the arena, all of the ribs in his chest were broken then he copsed and fell unconscious. Many of the disciples who were watching this felt a chill down their spines and swallowed their saliva, because yet another of the five great disciples was seriously wounded, and Ye Xiwen had already defeated three out of five. Except the head of the five great disciples Dongfang Bai and one other female disciple Ziyan, none of the other three were his match. Now that Zhao Yanxue was seriously injured and unconscious, the only ones left to snatch the title of champion were Ye Xiwen and Dongfang Bai. ¡°This Ye Xiwen is unexpectedly so powerful that even Zhao Yanxue, a master of thete seventh stage, was so easily defeated by him!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that he is so ruthless and acts rashly, so we can¡¯t know for sure whether he will be a blessing or a curse once he grows up in the future!¡± ¡°Such a powerful disciple to actuallye from our Yi Yuan School, of course it¡¯s a blessing for the school. The more talented our disciples are, the more formidable our school will be!¡± There was a discussion going on about Ye Xiwen among the elders sitting in the elders seating area. ¡°I won¡¯t take advantage of you, so I¡¯ll wait for you to take good rest!¡± Dongfang Bai said indifferently, as Ye Xiwen had demonstrated his strength in front of everyone and was eager for action, so he kind of wanted to urge him to fight on impulse. ¡°No, it will be nothing but a waste of time!¡± Ye Xiwen said, even though Zhao Yanxue had already reached the seventh stage but he still couldn¡¯t be a match for him and was easily defeated. He simply didn¡¯t need to use too much strength to beat him, and within few breaths his strength had already been restored to its peak condition. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 26 – The winning Chapter 26 ¨C The winning ¡°Well, quite straightforward!¡± Dongfang Bai nodded then flew up and skimmed over the ring just like a bird skimming over its prey. All the eyes were fixed on the two individuals, as this was going to be the toughest battle in this year¡¯s School inner weighting. This event was going to be the main center of attraction for everyone because the one who would win this battle would also win the championship and be the champion among the inner sect disciples. Although after this battle, the nextpetition was going to be among the outer sect disciples, however their overall strength was quite lowpared to inner sect disciples. Every year, very few people woulde to watch their fights, even those elders who had been watching thepetition from elders seating area earlier would also leave including the lords of various pces, leaving only a few elders as in charge of thepetition. ¡°Then l will ept your request!¡± Dongfang Bai¡¯s sword danced like a flower then he pointed his sword at Ye Xiwen and said: ¡°Take out your de!¡± Dongfang Bai was well known for his swordsmanship among the disciples and his cultivation itself was quite amazing. He had already reached the peak of the seventh stage and he could break through to the eighth stage anytime. This time¡¯s five great disciples could be considered as the strongest generation to emerge from inner sect disciples. Yi Yuan School allowed the masters of the fifth stage to qualify as the core disciples. Those who had acquired the seventh stage were not considered weak among the core disciples, those who were at the eighth stage were considered strong, and finally those who had already attained the ninth stage were considered extremely strong among the core disciples. Ye Xiwen had finally pulled out a long de surrounded by onlookers and disciples who were staring at him with their big wide eyes, as this was the second time Ye Xiwen had pulled out his de in front of them. The first time, it was against the lord of the penalty pce, a Xiantian level master Wang Jian. Now perhaps they could finally take a glimpse at his true strength, because earlier all of his opponents had been defeated by his palm technique. ¡°Watch out!¡± Dongfang Bai shouted gently, in his hand holding a sharp sword which danced and produced a sharp light which instantly struck towards Ye Xiwen. The speed of this strike was so fast that the sky instantly filled with light produced from the sword, however the true killer attack was hidden somewhere inside that sword light which had spread all over the sky. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de chopped out the new moon beheader. His de had chopped down straight towards the iing attack as he had already seen through Dongfang Bai¡¯s killer move, so he had used his own killer move to counter it. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s de struck at Dongfang Bai¡¯s sword with great strength, producing a sound of air-explosion in the arena. Both of their attacks were extremely fast. Dongfang Bai¡¯s swordy method itself emphasized on quick and skillful attacks, and Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡¶Cold moon beheader¡· was also a top-ss speed technique, otherwise how could he strike nine de shadows at once. In addition to that, he had also integrated a part of the Rushing thunder hand skill into the de, bringing his de attack to a near perfection. Both of their weapons collided as the crowd beneath was carefully tracking all their actions. Zhang Xiang, one of the ¡®five great disciples¡¯ was also watching this fight with an ugly expression on his face. Earlier he had also fought against Ye Xiwen and had lost tragically to his palm technique. He had originally thought that Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm technique was his most powerful technique, but he would never have imagined that this palm technique was nothingpared to his astonishing de technique. This was his true strength. Dongfang Bai was already at the peak of seventh stage, and his strength was enormous, almost about to break through the strength of twenty Tigers. Although he had practiced in the school of speed, even the masters of the ninth stage would easily be cut down by his sword, which was quite shocking. Although Ye Xiwen had only acquired the peak of sixth stage, his strength was not one bit inferior to him. Ye Xiwen long de was striking without stagnation, his de strikes were as fast as the lightning and ice-cold like the moon. Basically he was not giving Dongfang Bai any opportunity to take rest. This move ¡¶New moon beheader¡· he had already practiced to the state of perfection, where his moves resembled the nature itself, without the slightest ws. (TL: h¨²n r¨¢n ti¨¡n ch¨¦ng means ¡®to resemble nature itself¡¯ or ¡®of the highest quality¡¯) Dongfang Bai was finding it difficult to anticipate Ye Xiwen¡¯s moves and it was quite evident that Ye Xiwen¡¯s skill with the de was quite high. Although Dongfang Bai¡¯s cultivation was higher, but his understanding of the swordy was far lesserpared to Ye Xiwen. He was just a teenager, how could his understanding of the swordy be this good! Dongfang Bai would never know the secret about Ye Xiwen¡¯s mysterious space! However right now he did not have unnecessary time to think about the reason, because Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de had already struck. Dongfang Bai had no other choice but to use his sword and stab, which split open Ye Xiwen¡¯s iing de attack, however the authority to take initiative in the battle had already been transferred from his hands to Ye Xiwen. (TL: because Ye Xiwen had made the first strong move) Ye Xiwen had easily gained the upper hand, the long de shed like lightning in his hand and three de shadows suddenly appeared in the sky, and chopped down towards Dongfang Bai. Dongfang Bai could only resist passively and in his heart he was being choked to death. Even if it was master at the peak of sixth stage using three swords simultaneously to attack him, it would not pose any threat to him. Even if it was a master at the peak of seventh stage, Dongfang Bai could easily defeat him, but Ye Xiwen was simply an abnormality. His speed was no less than his own speed, and while using the ¡®celestial step¡¯ skill, his speed was even faster. Even his strength was somewhatrger than his own strength. Ye Xiwen was basically a monster, as he had consumed monkey wine which had increased his strength drastically, was definitely not lower than Dongfang Bai¡¯s strength. Even his Zhen Qi had be thick and profound and transformed into a mysterious group of light and was definitely powerfulpared to Dongfang Bai¡¯s Zhen Qi. None of the aspects of Ye Xiwen were inferior to Dongfang Bai, in fact some of his aspects were even better. Dongfang Bai was clearly losing to his dominating fighting style. Everyone was shocked, they all knew that Ye Xiwen was very powerful, but they had absolutely not expected that his real strength would actually be so incredible. Who was Dongfang Bai? He was the first of the ¡®five great disciples¡¯ and no one among the inner sect disciples was stronger than him. Long time ago, he had fought against a core disciple and still couldn¡¯t be defeated, however now he was clearly losing to Ye Xiwen, which was simply a miracle to them. The elders were somewhat surprised while looking at the two exchanging blows in the arena. Their strength levels were simply not enough to surprise the Xiantian level elders, but Ye Xiwen was simply too amazing. Everyone was quite favorable towards the genius of the inner sect disciples, and with his talent, he could easily be a core disciple. Also it would be easy for him to rise inside the core sect by taking over the positions left by senior core disciples. One could imagine that there were great expectations of him. However no one had expected that he might actually lose to Ye Xiwen¡¯s dominating fighting style, although he had not yet lost to Ye Xiwen, but it was quite clear from the battle itself that Ye Xiwen¡¯s monstrous Zhen Qi would definitely defeat him sooner orter. This dark horse was actually too dark! (TL: h¨¥i m¨£ means ¡®dark horse¡¯ or ¡®unexpected winner¡¯) Meanwhile, Ye Kongming was looking at his son¡¯s outstanding performance. He looked happy and was grinning from ear to ear, and was also not being critical about Ye Xiwen¡¯s performance. Dongfang Bai certainly knew that in this fight, he would surely be defeated sooner orter. His only choice left was to wait for Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi to get used up? But it was evident from Ye Xiwen¡¯s ruddyplexion that he still had a lot of fight left in him. (TL: basically Ye Xiwen looked like a battle maniac) Dongfang Bai had no other choice but to risk it all in one final attack! Dongfang Bai howled loudly, his sword danced producing a silver sword light which obscured the sky like a mighty gxy. This move was powerful enough to decide the oue of this battle. Ye Xiwen also gave a loud shout, his de chopped out and suddenly nine de shadows appeared in the sky, although faint but unexpectedly a new moon was split open while fully demonstrating the profoundness of this attack. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrible st wave of Qi swept off across the ring and the huge ring directly copsed down. The smoke and dust finally dispersed and everyone could see that Dongfang Bai¡¯s clothes had been damaged, he looked somewhat distressed, and Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de was ced horizontally on his shoulder. The oue of this battle was clear! Champion. . . Ye Xiwen! ¡ª¡ª (TL: Thank you all so much for your support. Special thanks to Harley for your major contribution towards this chapter) Chapter 27 – Houtian Seventh Stage Chapter 27 ¨C Houtian Seventh Stage School Inner Weighing which took ce only once in every three years had finallye to an end and Ye Xiwen, the unexpected dark horse of thispetition had unexpectedly won the championship and had also be the centre of attraction! Nobody had imagined that an unknown guy like Ye Xiwen would actually win thispetition, and from now onwards this name would firmly settle itself into their minds. After thepetition was over, the Ye family had gathered at home to have dinner together. Ye Feng had been busy with his closed door training so he didn¡¯t attend, but Ye Ruxue was present at the dinner. The whole family was beaming with happiness because Ye Xiwen had unexpectedly won the championship, although years ago both Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue had also be champions and had been promoted to the rank of core disciples, but since these two were already considered geniuses so it was not surprising. However Ye Xiwen¡¯s performance had always been very mediocre, but this time his power erupted suddenly and he also won the championship. This had thoroughly surprised his family. ¡°Wen¡¯er, before you were just at the Houtian fourth stage weren¡¯t you? But in just one month, you actually reached the peak of sixth stage, and your de technique also seems like an intermediate level technique, and it has already been practiced to an extent that it has actually allowed you to clearly surpass a lot of core disciples!¡± Ye Kongming asked. ¡°About this, even I do not know for sure but it seems like I got sudden enlightenment which caused my cultivation to progress quickly!¡± Ye Xiwen had already prepared an answer in case Ye Kongming was to ask about it. ¡°Enlightenment!¡± Ye Kongming frowned, but he didn¡¯t doubt Ye Xiwen as he had watched him grow up and he knew very well that Ye Xiwen was not the kind of person who would lie. However, this matter about enlightenment was really unimaginable, and since it was without precedent so there was no way to exin it either. ¡°Atta boy!¡± Ye Ruxue patted on his shoulder, ¡°Gee, that arrogant kid Dongfang Bai actually fell face down in front of you!¡± Ye Xiwen felt somewhat helpless because just now she seemed even more immature than Dongfang Bai. ¡°Although you won the championship, you cannot be too full of yourself because there are still many talented core disciples, and not to mention this world is very big and there are many geniuses out there, so remember not to be toocent!¡± Ye Kongming warned him as he didn¡¯t want him to be arrogant. ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Three monthster, the ¡®Core Disciples Competition¡¯ will be held jointly with Zhang family and you three siblings must support each other in the Blood Yuan Territory!¡± Ye Kongming said. ¡°Rest assured, father!¡± Ye Ruxue somewhat carelessly said: ¡°We will certainly help big brother in winning the first ce!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not your brother I am worried about, but your carelessness!¡± At this time he interrupted her and said. ¡°Just like your brother is undergoing closed door training, tomorrow you will also start the closed door training for the next three months!¡± Ye Kongming said. ¡°I know!¡± Ye Ruxue said while pouting. After dinner, Ye Xiwen did not stay but directly went back to his small yard and started cultivating. The Championship prize was quite rich with a reward of 2000 low-grade spirit stones, andter each month he would get three hundred as monthly sry. Thenpared to other disciples, his development would progress by leaps and bounds. Apart from these 2000 low-grade spirit stones, the most important rewards were actually those three golden pills. These pills were actually a kind of well-known medicines in Yi Yuan School which when consumed could significantly enhance the current cultivation level. However it was only rewarded to talented core disciples and this time, among the five disciples who got promoted to core disciples, only Ye Xiwen had received these golden pills. Ye Xiwen¡¯s n was to first enhance his strength. Although his strength was quite dominating whenpared to inner disciples, but he also understood that there were many talented and strong masters among the core disciples. And in time he would have no choice but to face them, so his first priority was to enhance his own strength. As long as he was strong enough, he would be able to deal with any challenge. Ye Xiwen took out a very small porcin bottle from which he poured out yellow colored medicine into his mouth then swallowed it down and simultaneously entered the mysterious space. Three golden pills soon turned into heat and started flowing inside his body. The heat rose from his dantian and immediately the Zhen Qi started to madly revolve within his body and his face suddenly turned red. In this chaos of Zhen Qi inside his body the original stable state began to loosen up. (TL: basically he is going to level up) Various insights about the ¡¶Bright Jade Power¡· had started to swarm his mind in session, which lead to further deepen his understanding of the wudao. (TL: Wudao = martial way) ¡°Boom!¡± He did not know how long it took but his original firm state had finally been overthrown by a big torrent of energy. Houtian Seventh Stage had been achieved. With the help of three golden pills, he had finally broken through to the Houtian seventh stage directly from the peak of Houtian sixth stage. Once again he had broken through his old state, and his strength had also increased drastically. He previously possessed the strength of 20 Tigers which had directly increased to the terrific strength of 30 Tigers after the breakthrough, which was much more than what he had expected. This was all because of that monkey wine which had granted him this hurricane-like strength. He looked outside and saw that it was still early morning then once again he started cultivating. ...... Time passed rapidly and in a blink of an eye, a month had already gone. A figure could be seen in the forest located on the backside of the Qingfeng Mountain. ¡°Missing moon beheader!¡± With a soft shout, a figure shuttled inside the forest , the de Qi struck horizontally and all the surrounding trees could be seen sessively falling on the ground. ¡°This missing moon beheader technique has reached the final boundary of practice!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi was automatically drying up the sweat on his body. All this time, he had totally submerged his mind and soul to practice ¡¶Cold moon beheader¡· and had finally reached the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ level. Although he had not reached the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ level, but even so his fighting strength had greatly increased. (TL: Xiaocheng= third level; Dacheng= fourth level, final level, culmination) And even the attack range of ¡¶New moon beheader¡· was also not the same. Although ¡¶Missing moon beheader¡· was an individual attack, but when the de was chopped down it would produce many de shadows, ??each one simr to the other but the total power would be terrifying. If practiced to the Dacheng level, it would produce nine ovepping des causing the full power to increase tenfold. And now Ye Xiwen had practiced to a level where he had only achieved a maximum of five ovepping des at once, but the power could fully erge up to three times. In more than a month¡¯s time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak of Houtian seventh stage with his strength increasing to the strength of 50 Tigers. Each of his de strike had a heavy crushing force containing huge power, and in addition to that he hadpletely practiced the ¡¶Celestial Step¡· to the Dacheng level. He had also practiced ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ to the Xiaocheng level so now he was confident enough to easily defeat any master of the Houtian eighth stage. Even if it was a master of the Houtian ninth stage, he could easilypete against him. It¡¯s not that he did not want to continue his cultivation, but he hadpletely consumed a total of four thousand low-grade spirit stones while practicing ¡¶Celestial Step¡· and ¡¶Missing moon beheader¡· He was once again penniless with not a spirit stone left! With the help of the mysterious space, his martial arts cultivation could progress very fast but the required spirit stone consumption was simply too enormous. Now he had to find a way to earn spirit stones. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 28 – Down the hill (TL: i didn¡¯t have enough time to edit so if you guys find any mistakes, please mention in thement section) Chapter 28 ¨C Down the hill Ye Xiwen returned back to the Yi Yuan School from the back side of the Qingfeng Mountain and went straight to the Gongde Pce. Here things like demon beast cores, herbs, etc, could be exchanged for school credits and vice versa, meanwhile it was also possible to ept missions at Gongde Pce. Some of these missions were issued by outsiders, some by the school disciples, and some missions were issued even by the elders who would give strange and unusual rewards. But his main objective was getting low-grade spirit stones as reward. He wanted to earn spirit stones as fast as could so in addition to hunting demon beasts, he had nned to take up missions as well. With varying degrees of difficulty, rewards would also be entirely different. These missions were divided into A, B, C and D rank missions each corresponding to the elders, the core disciples, the inner disciples and the outer door disciples respectively. Higher ranked missions would involve greater difficulty and at the same time, the reward would also be huge. Now being a core disciple, Ye Xiwen could take up rank B missions and above. There was arge crowd of disciples for rank C and D missions, but there were few disciples on the rank B side, just a small number of core disciples and not to mention most of the core disciples were out on missions. Ye Xiwen nced at the published mission board andpared rank B missions with the rank C and D missions. He noticed that these missions were frequently getting reced, but recement for rank B missions was not at all quick. ¡°Look for Heavenly Cold Grass in the depths of Qingfeng Mountain... Rewards, three hundred low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°Look for a Blood Wolf King¡¯s crystal nucleus ... Rewards, five hundred low-grade spirit stones!¡± Ye Xiwen nced through the missions of varying difficulty and saw that the rewards were ranging from one hundred to one thousand low-grade spirit stones. For inner disciples, this was already an astronomical figure, and even for core disciples, it was not a small figure. After all, their monthly sry was only three hundred low-grade spirit stones. However the difficulty of these missions was quite high, for example a blood wolf king was a terrifying demon beast which was considered at the peak of Houtian eighth stage. Even most of the core disciples could absolutely notplete this mission let alone inner disciples. Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes skimming through the missions stopped on a rtively new mission which had been added that very day. ¡°Escort Qingfeng trading firm in transporting a batch of medicine ingredients to the Tianyuan city ...Rewards, three thousand low-grade spirit stones! Requirements, Houtian seventh stage or above!¡± Ye Xiwen eyes suddenly lit up after seeing the reward of three thousand low-grade spirit stones for this mission. If he could receive these three thousand low-grade spirit stones as reward then undoubtedly these could solve his urgent needs. Then ¡¶Missing moon beheader¡· could be practiced to the Dacheng level and even his cultivation could further increase. But for an ordinary escort duty, the reward of three thousand low-grade spirit stones was quite exaggerated, as it would take almost a year even for a core disciple to save so many low-grade spirit stones. Even this mission¡¯s requirements were quite high as Houtian seventh stage disciples or above were considered top masters among the core disciples. Yi Yuan School was located atop the Qingfeng Mountain, and Qingfeng trading firm was situated in Qingfeng town which was located at the base of Qingfeng Mountain. Qingfeng trading firm was thergest trading firm in town and usually did business of medicinal ingredients. Tianyuan city was the nearest city from the Qingfeng Mountain, only about half a day away. If left early in the morning, one could reach there by evening. There were many escort missions among rank C or D missions, however the reward of three thousand low-grade spirit stones was absolutely rare. But anyway, right now he was in a dire need of spirit stones so how could he ignore this mission. He took up the mission and a steward informed him that he would have to visit Qingfeng trading firm the very next morning. After taking up the mission, he did not stay long in the Gongde Pce. He went back straight to his small courtyard to continue the closed-door training. Inside the Special space, Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure could be seen showing endless maneuvers. It was so quick that in just few steps it would appear very far away. Celestial step was a high level power technique and just now, its might had beenpletely demonstrated by Ye Xiwen proving that he had already practiced it to the Dacheng level. But Ye Xiwen had a feeling that this was far from reaching the limit, as if he had reached a bottleneck and this was definitely not the end. Ye Xiwen knew that this ¡¶Celestial step¡· was actually a Xiantian level power technique, but since it was iplete, so he could only practice as a high level power technique. But under normal circumstances, he might have practiced it to a profound realm if he could somehow get the missing parts of ¡¶Celestial step¡·. However after practicing in the Special space, he discovered something else. After he achieved the Dacheng level and continued to practice, he unexpectedly found out that he could still continue to practice. Moreover some of the original missing information rted to ¡¶Celestial step¡· was alsoing into his mind, which also included some mysterious profound contents. Ye Xiwen feltpletely stunned to find out that this special space could not only just elerate the speed of martial arts practice but it could also help him deduce the original missing parts of a technique? If this was the case, then it was quite excellent. Now he could obtain a Xiantian level technique for free, and including ¡¶Cold moon beheader¡· and ¡¶Bright Jade Power¡· , he would be carrying three Xiantian level techniques. If he could practice all three of these techniques to Dacheng level then the end result would be terrible. Many Xiantian experts weren¡¯t able to practice three Xiantian level techniques. At that time, he would attain an even higher level of strength! However it was obvious that deducing the rest of the power technique would require a lot of spirit stones, and these were the things that he needed the most right now. (TL: if only he had few more spirit stones, he might havepletely mastered the celestial step to a profound real) He had a lot of hope from this mission. Soon the sky brightened up, Ye Xiwen went out of the school and descended from the mountain along the mountain road. He came down the first mountain so easily that he got confused and after a short period of confusion, he finally had a firm grasp of his enhanced strength and thanks to that, this time he had both the ability and opportunity to go down the mountain and have a look. Qingfeng town was located down the Qingfeng Mountain, although imed to be a town but the poption was over 10,000. Many warriors woulde down and go up the mountain, as Yi Yuan School was located at the top. Many warriors from foreignnds would also visit because there were a lot of demon beasts in the Qingfeng Mountain and these warriors would enter the forest to hunt them. Gradually a very prosperous town had formed here. Ye Xiwen had descended the mountain several times before and he knew where Qingfeng trading firm was located and since it was a big ce, it was quite easy to find it too. An attendant was standing at the trading firm¡¯s entrance and as soon as he saw Ye Xiwen, he came forward and asked: ¡°Are you the outstanding disciple from Yi Yuan School who will take up our trading firm¡¯s escort mission?¡± Yi Yuan School had quite a lofty reputation in this neighborhood. ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°Then pleasee with me!¡± The attendant said. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 29 – Conflict in the trading firm (NT: There might be some mistakes in the trantion as i had to trante two chapters so my trantion efficiency is kinda low this time. I will upload chapter 30 in few hours, so stay tuned?? ) Chapter 29 ¨C Conflict in the trading firm Ye Xiwen followed the attendant into the Qingfeng trading firm, but suddenly he heard a shout and stopped: ¡°Brother Wen!¡± Ye Xiwen turned to look and actually saw Wang Lie striding joyfully to catch up, he ?ughed and said: ¡°I did not expect that it was you man!¡± ¡°Greetings, fourth son!¡± The attendant walked up to Wang Lie and said with respect. ¡°Fourth son ... is this trading firm owned by your family?¡± Ye Xiwen got surprised for a moment, but he knew that Wang Lie¡¯s family was quite influential in this region, but who would have thought that his family actually owned the Qingfeng trading firm. ¡°Yes, but what are you doing here?¡± Wang Lie looked somewhat puzzled and asked him. ¡°I picked up an escort mission, so I came over!¡± Ye Xiwen replied. ¡°You have received this mission!¡± Wang Lie looked a bit serious, ¡°Well, it does not matter, now I would like to greet you on behalf of this firm!¡± After Wang Lie dismissed the attendant, Ye Xiwen spoke once again and said: ¡°What is going on? Your family is actually willing to pay a reward of three thousand low-grade spirit stones for an escort mission!¡± ¡°Actually this reward is not being paid out by our family!¡± Wang Lie said, after all the reward of three thousand low-grade spirit stones was definitely not a small number for any party, not to mention, he was just one man receiving this reward. ¡°Our family¡¯s trading firm is actually regarded as a subordinate of Tianyuan city lord!¡± Wang Lie slowly exined, ¡°For a long time our family has been collecting medicinal ingredients and some other stuff for the City lord pce!¡± ¡°This time, we have to escort a batch of medicinal ingredients to City lord pce, and your rewards are also being given out by City lord pce and not by my family!¡± Wang Lie said. ¡°Which medicinal ingredients are so important, that City lord pce has attached so much importance to them?¡± Ye Xiwen asked, although Tianyuan City was only a small city located at the border region of Great Yue state and could not bepared with the big cities located in the interior region of Great Yue state. However it also had a poption of more than two hundred thousand, plus including some affiliated towns, the total poption count would cross five hundred thousand people. The fate of these five hundred thousand people was held in the hands of City lord pce and in addition to that, being close to the Qingfeng Mountain, the medicinal ingredients and other stuff avable on the mountain were quite easily essible to the City lord pce, considering its huge influence. ¡°I don¡¯t know, even my father avoids talking about this matter, so how could I possibly know!¡± Wang Lie said with a forced smile. Ye Xiwen understood very well that Wang family was not as harmonious as his own family, because Wang Lie¡¯s father had established quite a big business. Wang Lie had three ambitious elder brothers and he was the youngest, born of a maidservant. When Wang Lie was born, his three elder brothers had already reached adulthood and had taken over the family business, and even his nephews and nieces were almost the same age as his. In fact, he didn¡¯t have a high status of a prince in his family which is why he would always spend his time cultivating on the Qingfeng Mountain rather than staying at home with his family. ¡°I was looking for your help, but couldn¡¯t find you this whole month!¡± Wang Lie said. ¡°I had gone to the back side of the mountain to cultivate!¡± Ye Xiwen replied without hiding anything. ¡°You have be quite a cultivation maniac!¡± Wang Lie said, although he had been unable to see through Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation since thest meeting, but obviously after a month, his cultivation now had be even more inscrutable. Ye Xiwen smiled but did not speak anything. Wang Lie¡¯s talent was quite good, otherwise his cultivation would not have been faster than Ye Xiwen¡¯s, but he was quitezy by nature and would easily get tired of cultivating, otherwise, by now he would already have reached the Houtian fifth stage. (TL: Wang lie¡¯s cultivation was ahead of Ye Xiwen in the first chapter) Both of them while chatting andughing went inside a hall on the second floor of the Qingfeng trading firm. Inside the hall, they saw ten or so warriors from the Sanwucheng regiment standing firmly on each side, these were the experts invited by the Qingfeng trading firm. ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this Wang Lie?¡± Suddenly a youth dressed up in chinese clothes came out from among those ten or more warriors and walked up to them. Wang Lie¡¯splexion got somewhat unsightly, he whispered to Ye Xiwen and exined that this was his brother¡¯s eldest son, called Wang Ding, and they were never on good terms with each other. ¡°Gee, I have got fine warriors on my side, but what have you got on your end, a kid who has not even weaned yet?¡± Wang Ding gave out an unbridledugh. (TL: he is trying to mock Ye Xiwen as he looks young and inexperiencedpared to those other warriors) ¡°Ha ha ha ha!¡± At Wang Ding¡¯s sarcastic words those warriors gave out a loudughter. ¡°You fools, he is the champion of this year¡¯s School Inner Weighing at Yi Yuan School!¡± Wang Lie said with a redplexion on his face. ¡°Ha ha ha, I have heard of thepetition at the Yi Yuan School, isn¡¯t the champion of thispetition a kid who has not even grown facial hair, has not even seen the sight of blood yet? I can beat five kids like him at once! ¡°A thirty year old warriorughed and said. Rest of the warriors also had an appearance of approval, although Yi Yuan School¡¯s reputation was quite illustrious, but for these warriors who had seen lots of blood and their lives hanging from the edge of a knife on the battlefield, these Yi Yuan disciples were nothing more than flowers in the greenhouse. Most of those warriors were at least at the Houtian sixth stage, some were even at the early Houtian eighth stage. All of these warriors looked very imposing, because they had seen blood on the battlefield and had even killed people. Suddenly, Ye Xiwen moved and very next instant his figure shed like an immortal himself and appeared in front of that insolent warrior, then his palm pped. ¡°Bang!¡± That insolent warrior was fiercely pped, and a mouthful of teeth had been broken and extracted out by this attack, his body flew off like a kite and severely hit the wall above. This direct hit from his body had caused a dense spider web-like fine lines on the wall then his body rolled down. No one knew whether he was still alive or dead. ¡°You court death, do you really think you can casually insult Yi Yuan School like this?¡± Ye Xiwen said nkly. Quiet! There was a pin drop silence in the hall. Somehow a warrior of peak Houtian Sixth stage had actually been smacked down to death by Ye Xiwen. All of the warriors were stunned, then suddenly several warriors got furious. ¡°He even dared to hurt fourth brother!¡± ¡°Cripple him!¡± ¡°Break all the bones in his body!¡± Several warriors had gotten furious and had rushed towards Ye Xiwen, most of them were already at the peak of Houtian sixth stage, and some were at the Houtian seventh stage, the scene looked threatening. Ye Xiwen stood there fearless, then rushed using the celestial step andunched Rushing thunder hand instantly. ¡°Bang!¡± A warrior was pped by his palm and screamed then went flying out of the window. ¡°Bang!¡± Another warrior was kicked by Ye Xiwen and severely hit the pir. ....... None of these warriors were his match, they hadpletely lost to Ye Xiwen¡¯s monstrous strength and had fell face down on the ground. ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C ¨C Chapter 30 – Qingfeng stronghold Chapter 30 ¨C Qingfeng stronghold ¡°Wang Lie, how dare you wound a warrior invited by our family!¡± Wang Ding suddenly got furious. ¡°Wang Ding, I am your uncle, I guess your father has not taught you about respecting the elders!¡± Seeing Ye Xiwen¡¯s godly strength, Wang Lie¡¯s heart had calmed down, so he answered back without any hesitation and said. ¡°You are defending this loser, did not you hear what he just said, he was clearly insulting the Yi Yuan School, and if this endangers our Wang family then are you prepared to take responsibility for that?¡± Wang Ding got very furious after being scolded by Wang Lie, he was mad at those worthless warriors, for him each and every one of them were weaklings who had lost to a kid like Ye Xiwen. ¡°Wang Lie, you wait for me!¡± Wang Ding¡¯splexion was unsightly, saying those words in a ruthless manner, he left bitterly. ¡°So cool, that small bastard will never look down on me!¡± Wang Lie said whileughing. The gazes falling on Ye Xiwen had clearly changed, now they did not dare to underestimate him like before. ¡°When do we set out?¡± Ye Xiwen asked Wang Lie. ¡°We will set out in afternoon and enter the city at night!¡± Wang Lie replied. Enter the city at night? To hide from whom? Ye Xiwen knew that Wang Lie probably did not know much, otherwise considering the strong friendship between those two, there was no reason to hide. After a while, Wang Lie got busy with other things and Ye Xiwen found a ce to sit down and closed his eyes. In the morning came a dozen more warriors who were also at the Houtian sixth stage or above, and looked quite strong. ¡°I thank everybody for taking up this mission!¡± At noon, the door opened and entered a slightly hunchbacked old man, ¡°I am the housekeeper Wangde Ying, the one responsible for leading this mission!¡± ¡°So this is the senior once called Quick knife Wang, I have always looked forward to meeting you!¡± A Warrior approached cupping one hand over the other across his chest and said. ¡°Originally twenty years ago, he was renowned as the Quick knife Wangde Ying of the Qingfeng Mountain region, who would have thought he has actually be a servant of Wang family!¡± ¡°Thank you for your cooperation everybody, please get ready, we will leave soon!¡± Wangde Ying said in a deep voice. After everyone had arrived and ready to go, Wang family troops hit the road under the protection of a talent like Ye Xiwen to transport the medicinal ingredients, but allowing Ye Xiwen to be the escort was quite strange, even the Wang family princes had not apanied them, just an old housekeeper and some guards from the Wang family, even Wang Lie had also not apanied them. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t rx because he felt that this escort mission was quite strange. Escorting a medicinal ingredient for a reward of three thousand low-grade spirit stones clearly exined that it was definitely a very important mission. Higher difficulty missions would be directly proportional to the reward associated, however, for this mission Wang family had only sent an old housekeeper which was somewhat strange. At this time many of those warriors also felt that something was strange, these people had lived dangerous lives and were quite experienced, they could clearly sense this strangeness and were keeping their mouths shut. The team slowly moved forward, and after about an hour had passed, they suddenly felt some disturbance ahead. ¡°Chen Long and Chen Hu, the two great leaders of the Qingfeng Stronghold have actuallye to us, this is unexpected, but this is a cargo of ordinary herbal medicine and is definitely not worth both leaders to personallye for!¡± Wangde Ying¡¯s voice spread out from the front. Qingfeng stronghold! There was amotion among the warriors, because Qingfeng Stronghold¡¯s reputation was considered very Illustrious in this neighborhood. In the nearby regions of the Qingfeng Mountain, the people were quite sturdy and valiant much like mountain bandits and Qingfeng stronghold was one of thergest groups. Chen Long and Chen Hu were the two notorious leaders of this stronghold, and were said to be extremely powerful and the cultivation of both of these brothers was also at the peak of Houtian eighth stage. Once the two joined forces, even a master of the Houtian ninth stage wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against them. As far as these warriors were concerned, these two Qingfeng stronghold leaders were like a great deterrent. ¡°It really is justmon herbal medicine, Wangde Ying, you used to be quite skilled in the past, on top of that you are a senior, do not fool us, bullying us two brothers using your knowledge and experience?¡± In front of the team stood a troop of hundred persons blocking the road, led by two persons of sturdy frame with rough appearance. These two persons-Chen Long and Chen Hu were actually the leaders of the Qingfeng Stronghold. ¡°Certainly not, but our Qingfeng trading firm and your Qingfeng Stronghold have always minded our own business, now why are you trying to make things difficult for both of us?¡± Wangde Ying said calmly in a deep voice. ¡°We do not want to make things difficult for you, as long as you hand over those herbal medicines to us, our brothers would let you all go unhurt!¡± Cheng Long said. ¡°Humph, it seems that, you two leaders have turned on our Qingfeng trading firm, although our firm is always kind with others, but it does not mean we are weak so do not think so highly of yourselves!¡± Wangde Ying continued. ¡°Cut the crap, do you think we have not thought about it before? People die for money just like birds die in pursuit of food, I will bet on this chance afterwards do you think we brothers would still be in this area?¡± Chen Hu said whileughing. ¡°Do not talk nonsense, since you are willing to teach them, then do not me our brothers for being brutal, you all are most wee to die!¡± Immediately a group of bandits from Qingfeng Stronghold shouted and rushed over, and the two leaders led those bandits whileughing loudly to kill everyone. ¡°Everybody, kill!¡± Wangde Ying roared, he suddenly took a step and skimmed on the air, a long de was drawnand the cold tip of the de illuminated and a burst of twisting sword-shaped Qi rushed towards Chen Long and Chen Hu then chopped down. Qingfeng Stronghold two leaders took out their weapons, the wolf-tooth clubs and used them to defend against the iing de attack. ¡°Boom!¡± Long de and wolf-tooth clubs fiercely shed against each other and the ferocious Qi spread out from this collision causing terrible winds to blow everywhere. ¡°Ha ha ha, I did not expect the so called Quick knife Wangde Ying to be so weak!¡± Chen Longughed loudly while tying down Wangde Ying. ¡°Ha ha ha, this Quick knife is just so-so, old man, you are very old!¡± Chen Hu¡¯s alsoughed and said. Chen Hu¡¯s big and sturdy wolf-tooth club swept away, breaking the bones of the firm guards who were in the range of this attack. ¡°What to do, these two are too strong, if nobody stopped Chen Hu then we all will get massacred by him!¡± A warrior said with a pale face. Rest of the warriors were scared, they definitely didn¡¯t have expected that they would actually encounter two leaders of the Qingfeng Stronghold, this escort mission was definitely not simple. Suddenly a voice rushed out towards Chen Hu. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 31 – Five blades to behead Chen Hu (NT: Expect Chapter 32 in few hours) Chapter 31 ¨C Five des to behead Chen Hu ¡°Bang!¡± Chen Huughed and smashed his club on a Qingfeng firm¡¯s guard and killed him. At this time, Wangde Ying had been caught by Chen Long, although Wangde Ying¡¯s strength was tyrannical, but Chen Long was also at the peak of eighth stage, and was more ferocious than Wangde Ying. The famous Quick knife Wangde Ying could not get rid of the clutch of Chen Long and could only helplessly watch Chen Hu ughtering everyone. ¡°Chen Hu,e to die!¡± Ye Xiwen gave a loud shout, shing a long de which was shining like a bright moon and attacked him. Ye Xiwen had been entrusted by Qingfeng trading firm to protect everybody taking part in this escort mission, not to mention the matter also involved Wang Lie¡¯s family, so Ye Xiwen would naturally lend a helping hand. ¡°Boom!¡± The long de and the Wolf-tooth club severely shed against each other causing a loud sound of explosion. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Chen Hu¡¯s eyes shed with astonishment, ¡°Houtian seventh stage!¡± ¡°de of a master of Houtian seventh stage can actually have such power!¡± Chen Hu¡¯s eyes widened with astonishment, ¡°but no matter how much talented you are, you will die at my hands!¡± Chen Hu grinned then said: ¡°I would love to kill a genius like you!¡± Chen Hu¡¯s Wolf-tooth club danced in front of Ye Xiwen, and it seemed that it would crack his brain in a moment. ¡°Cold moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s de also chopped out causing a burst of whirlwind everywhere. ¡°Boom!¡± Both of their Zhen Qi severely shed together causing a shock wave and the sand and pebbles flew out in all directions. ¡°Deng Deng Deng!¡± Ye Xiwen had to withdraw a few steps, because his strength was lesser than Chen Hu, however if only his cultivation was at the Houtian eighth stage then he would easily have defeated Chen Hu by now. (NT: ¡®Deng¡¯ signifies stepping sound) ¡°Good boy!¡± Chen Hu withdrew two steps and killing intention grew deeper in his eyes, although his facial features were rough, but he was not stupid like other bandits otherwise he would not be the leader of Qingfeng Stronghold. Wolf-tooth club attacked so fast and fiercely and smached the air into two halves and it seemed that if it had smashed into a man then it would have absolutely turned him into a meat patty. Chen Hu took few steps then his whole huge body instantly flew into the air and severely smashed down from the midair. Shrill piercing sound echoed around Ye Xiwen and the fierce wind caused by the huge club was stinging and quite painful for everyone. Ye Xiwen shouted and his long de danced, although his strength wasparatively lesser, but both looked equally strong while fighting. ¡°Missing moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and his long de danced violently. ¡°Boom!¡± Chen Hu was repelled by Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de and retreated several steps then he chopped down the second de from ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯. Chen Hu¡¯s arm got numb from Ye Xiwen¡¯s unexpected second de attack. ¡°Bang!¡± Third de. Chen Hu didn¡¯t get enough time to respond and the third de had already chopped down causing his thick thighs to tremble. ¡°Bang!¡± Fourth de. ¡°Kara!¡± Chen Hu¡¯s leg was broken and he started trembling, he could not hold himself and fell down on the ground. ¡°What, what is this de?¡± Chen Hu got frightened and said. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de technique was quite terrifying, because sessive des would ovep causing the overall strength to increase by several times forming a chain of quick and speedy de attacks and disying the superimposed power thoroughly . ¡°Missing moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and chopped down the fifth de, and it seemed as if the essence of the previous des had concentrated in this final de attack giving it a terrifying power. ¡°Puchi!¡± Ye Xiwen had cut Chen Hu into two halves. All the eyes were stunned while looking at this scene, they were shocked to find out that the one who was split in half was actually that infamous leader Chen Hu. Compared to Ye Xiwen, a Yi Yuan School disciple, Chen Hu had been infamous for many years because being a leader of Qingfeng Stronghold; his reputation was quite illustrious in this neighborhood. However, he had actually died at the hands of Ye Xiwen and this result had shocked everyone. The mess caused by Ye Xiwen looked ferocious, many of the warriors gasped, swallowed a mouthful of saliva. ¡°Crap, he is so ferocious!¡± A warrior voiced the feelings of almost everyone. Chen Hu, who had been infamous for so many years, but just how old was this Ye Xiwen, ah, not even twenty years old, but still had beheaded an infamous master of the peak eighth stage. He definitely would have a promising future ahead ah! ¡°Little brother!¡± Chen Long shouted, ¡°Qingfeng trading firm, we brothers will kill all of you!¡± Chen Long roared furiously at Wangde Ying, and threw his club at him mercilessly. ¡°You all are courting death, do you think you can make aeback now?¡± After witnessing the beheading of Chen Hu by Ye Xiwen , he was overjoyed, he moved quickly like a frantic whirlwind and his sharp de attacked very fast which was almostparable to Ye Xiwen¡¯s new moon beheader, forming a de wind storm. Wangde Ying¡¯s strength was simr to the strength of Chen Long but he was shocked at his younger brother¡¯s death and had be more violent, but Wangde Ying¡¯s tactics and experience worked well against Chen Long¡¯s mindless attacks. After that, it took less than ten strokes for Wangde Ying¡¯s de to behead Chen Long. With the two leaders beheaded, the rest of the bandits of Qingfeng Stronghold suddenly quit en masse. But Wangde Ying had gotten quite furious from this, he suddenly shouted: ¡°Kill all of these bastards!¡± Now that these bandits were without a leader, the warriors hired by the Qingfeng trading firm were more than enough to handle these bandits, only after a little bit of effort, they had all been wiped out. After a while, all of the bandits had been beheaded by the warriors. By now, everyone had realized thatpleting this escort mission would not be an easy job. ¡°Many thanks son, for protecting our firm in danger!¡± Wangde Ying approached Ye Xiwen and said. His eyes were full of surprise because he had not expected this young man could actually behead Chen Hu! Although he himself was quite powerful, but he also knew that fighting both of those Chen brothers would have proved dangerous for him, however, he really did not expect this young man to be so useful in such a critical situation. ¡°I have been entrusted by Wang family to protect everyone involved in this escort mission, and I am also a childhood friend of Wang Lie, so helping out is obvious!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°So you are a friend of our ¡®fourth young master¡¯!¡± Wangde Ying had not expected for Wang Lie to be acquainted with such a powerful master, it seems calling someone from Yi Yuan School was a right decision. ¡°Anyway, this time you have helped our firm a lot, so wait until we arrive at Tianyuan City, there you receive a warm wee!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, he had not shifted responsibility onto others, he worked so hard just for the sake of getting spirit stones. Chapter 32 – Tianyuan City Chapter 32 ¨C Tianyuan City Sun had set and the team had finally arrived at Tianyuan City at night. Being a city of two hundred thousand people, the walls were very tall, a full ten meters in height, and after arriving at night they saw many pedestrians on the streets. After their encounter with the Qingfeng Stronghold bandits, the team was being very careful in the route to Tianyuan City but did not encounter any danger and had sessfully arrived at Tianyuan City. After the group had arrived outside the city gate, Wangde Ying cupped one hand into the other across the chest and said: ¡°This time you all have worked hard, we will pay everyone properly as promised, injured and killed people will get additionalpensation!¡± ¡°Senior you are so polite, this is something we do for living!¡± Suddenly many warriors said to Wangde Ying, in any case, arriving safely at Tianyuan City could be considered aspleting the mission sessfully. Although they had not expected being attacked by Qingfeng Stronghold bandits, but after that they didn¡¯t encounter anymore bandits because seeing such a big parade, bandits didn¡¯t dare to approach them. They started lining up to enter the Tianyuan City gate. ¡°Wait a minute, what are those things you are carrying, I want to check!¡± This time, a thirty year old officer came over with few soldiers. ¡°Head officer, we are the escort team from Qingfeng trading firm!¡± Wangde Ying said. ¡°I don¡¯t care who you people are, I will inspect all the goods before you take them inside the city, to confirm that there are no illegal items inside!¡± The officer said rudely. ¡°Please don¡¯t joke around head officer, these things have been sent by Qingfeng trading firm so they are possibly be contraband goods!¡± Wangde Ying smiled and said. ¡°I have already decided, brothers, search for me!¡± The officermanded. ¡°Head officer, I do not know whose nderous talks you are listening to, however, these herbs belong to the City Lord pce, are you sure you still want to inspect?¡± Sensing the threatening attitude of head officer, Wangde Ying also stopped showing any signs of weakness. ¡°City Lord Pce my ass, it is the Laozi Government which protects the city not the City Lord Pce, so go away otherwise do no me me for being impolite!¡± The officer threatened. Wangde Ying¡¯splexion suddenly be gloomy as this officer unexpectedly belonged to the City Guard Government. City Guard Government and City Lord Pce were the two major systems active in the city. Some cities in Yue State were under the control of both the City Guard Government and City Lord Pce and some were individually ruled by each. Generally speaking, City Lord Pce and City Guard Government were not on good terms. Struggle for power was amon thing, although in theory the city belonged to the City lord but City Guard Government was also working behind the scenes. So who actually was the in charge of the entire city depended on their individual strengths. This situation was quitemon in remote cities like Tianyuan City. ¡°Phew!¡± Head officer suddenly heard a sharp piercing sound and arrived a sharp arrow flying and instantly shot through his head. ¡°Bang!¡± The officer¡¯s head exploded, red and white brains scattered everywhere. ¡°Idiot, a petty officer like you dares to look down upon City Lord Pce!¡± A cold voice came over, ¡°People from Qingfeng trading firm, sorry, I¡¯mte!¡± Everyone looked surprised, from a distance a group of people were walking slowly towards them, this group was being led by a 20 years old youth who was d in a Chinese gown, holding a bow in his hands. ¡°Not at all, but I did not expect for the third son to personallye to receive us!¡± Wangde Ying bowed and said. ¡°This is the third son of City Lord, Xu Zhen!¡± The warriors said who knew about him. ¡°He is the genius son of City Lord, although he is just twenty five years old and is already at the peak of Houtian eighth stage!¡± ¡°Peak of Houtian eight stage, my God!¡± ¡°The killing of the head officer had already caused the City Lord Pce and City Guard government to be ipatible like fire and water!¡± Many warriors were amazed, even at the Yi Yuan School those who were able to achieve such results at this age were considered genius. Ye Xiwen also nced at the third son who looked like a firm character, as he had instantly killed that officer mercilessly without thinking twice. ¡°My father was busy, so I came over, this escort mission of herbal medicine must have been hard for you all!¡± Xu Zhen said while smiling. ¡°This time we encountered Qingfeng Stronghold bandits, if not for Ye Xiwen, a disciple from Yi Yuan School, we would have been in danger for sure!¡± Wangde Ying said, ¡°Ye Xiwen is the champion from this year¡¯spetition at Yi Yuan School!¡± ¡°So he is the outstanding disciple from Yi Yuan School, no wonder no wonder!¡± After hearing in detail about the bandit incident from Wangde Ying, Xu Zhen could not help but feel amazed at Ye Xiwen¡¯s outstanding performance. Yi Yuan School had a illustrious reputation in this neighborhood, and being able to be a champion among the inner disciples was not easy feat , there was no doubt that he was a true genius. ¡°We will now advance into the city!¡± Xu Zhen said. Ye Xiwen walked into the city and the escorted herbs were sent to City Lord Pce. Everyone was settled in an inn and after having dinner, Ye Xiwen got the reward as agreed before. Three thousand low-grade spirit stones, a special reward of one thousand low-grade spirit stones from Qingfeng trading firm as well as two thousand low-grade spirit stones as bonus from City Lord Pce because he had beheaded Chen Hu, who was an infamous bandit, so naturally there was a huge bounty on him. All of a sudden, he had earned a total of six thousand low-grade spirit stones. This amount was quite huge for other core disciples, but for him it was just a temporary relief. With these six thousand low-grade spirit stones, the ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ could be practiced to ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ level then he would be able to chop out a series of seven des and the attack power would also increase twice. Then he would be able to fight confidently even against a master of Houtian ninth stage. For others, these spirit stones were only to assist the cultivation and nothing more, but for Ye Xiwen, as long as there were enough spirit stones, his cultivation would continue to increase rapidly and breaking into the next stage would not be a problem. ¡°Bold, who unexpectedly dares to rush into the City Lord Pce!¡± Ye Xiwen was going to start cultivating but suddenly he heard a loud shout which suddenly burst over the whole city and spread far and wide in all directions. Ye Xiwen suddenly reacted, because this definitely was the roar of a Xiantian master. As the inn was situated close to the Lord pce so he could listen to it very clearly. In Tianyuan City there were only two Xiantian masters, one was the City Lord and other was an individual from city guard. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 33 – Xiantian Pellet Chapter 33 ¨C Xiantian Pellet Although there were more than twenty Xiantian experts in Yi Yuan School, but it took many years for the school to umte so many experts, in addition to that, Yi Yuan School was also backed by the great Yue state, which was one of the four major schools. It also possessed numerous resources and wealth which were far greater than other power whenpared. Generally speaking, it was not easy for dozens of warriors at the peak of Houtian ninth stage to step into the Xiantian realm, however, if Yi Yuan School held such a huge influence then the sess rate would greatly enhance. A Xiantian expert was good enough to be the city guard of a small city. Obviously, the status of a Xiantian expert was quite high and extraordinary in the eyes of people. So, the one who had shouted this time was definitely the City lord. ¡°Ha ha, I had not expected that you still haven¡¯t refined a Xiantian pellet, I wille again next time!¡± A frivolousughter soon shook the entire city. So it was actually the Xiantian pellet! Everyone knew that it was very difficult to be a Xiantian expert. One needed to first open up the bridge between heaven and earth, then second step was to break open the two meridians and allow the Zhen Qi to grow endlessly, then only one would be able to enter the Xiantian realm. Only few experts could sessfully enter the Xiantian realm, but there were some medicines to help in forcefully opening up the two meridians and Xiantian pellet was one of the most famous ones. Naturally it was evident that a lot of Houtian realm warriors were going to have a bloody warpeting over the Xiantian pellets. The City lord was refining Xiantian pellets, and this news had spread throughout the city overnight. For a long time, City lord Pce possessed the secret form for refining Xiantian pellet, and had been secretly collecting the required medicinal ingredients. Now that the required ingredients had finally been collected, City lord had sessfully refined Xiantian pellets. Once this message was spread out, it would definitely attract many spies, especially a lot of Houtian ninth stage masters, who would definitely not miss this opportunity to get a Xiantian pellet. Once a warrior entered into the Xiantian realm, his power would increase dramatically, and most importantly, his life force would also greatly enhance causing the life expectancy to increase to 200 years. Many warriors of the Houtian ninth stage were anxious because their lives were slowly approaching towards exhaustion, and if they did not find a way to reach the Xiantian realm, they would eventually die of old age. Whether it was to survive or to achieve great strength, these warriors would absolutely not let go of this chance to get a Xiantian pellet. So, there was going to be a bloody battle amongst thempeting over this pellet. Even Ye Xiwen was interested in this Xiantian pellet. Originally after finishing this escort mission, he had nned to return to the Yi Yuan School, but now he had decided to stay and take a look at the situation. To Ye Xiwen, enhancing the strength was his top priority. Because at his current strength, it would be difficult for him to handle a master of the Houtian ninth stage, or even a Xiantian master. Right now he was at the peak of Houtian seventh stage, one more step and he could break through to the Houtian eighth stage. After that, he would be able to fight against the masters of the Houtian ninth stage and even give them a tough battle. For others, how could this breakthrough be so simple, but he had the ¡®Special space¡¯ and as long as there were enough spirit stones, breaking through to the Houtian eighth stage was simply not a problem for him. Ye Xiwen soon entered into the ¡®special space¡¯ and started meditating. He started to practice the ¡¶Bright Jade Power¡·, he did not know for how long the spirit stones continue to burn producing the ling qi which was continuously entering into the ¡®special space¡¯. Ye Xiwen started to get new insights about the ¡¶Bright Jade Power¡·, which like a powerful torrent entered into his mind and caused a strong impact on the barrier of his current cultivation state. As the time passed, his strength also went on increasing constantly. ¡°Boom!¡± He did not know how long it took for that torrent of information topletely break the barrier of his cultivation state. His body produced crackling sound, all of his bones were colliding with each other, his body was covered with filth and he sessfully reached the Houtian eighth stage. Fewer impurities oozed out of his body,pared to thest time, when he had broken through to the Houtian fourth stage. Although he had cultivated for a night, he was still full of energy because he had broken through to the Houtian eighth stage and now his strength had directly reached the strength of seventy Tigers. His strength had experienced a rapid development and now he was capable of beheading even the warriors of Houtian ninth stage. Now he was powerful enough to participate in theing Xiantian pelletpetition. Overnight, the message spread among the numerous warriors in the city. ¡°I never thought, City lord was actually secretly refining a Xiantian pellet!¡± ¡°Gee, wait until the City lord uses this Xiantian pellet, then there will be no room left for the City guard to dominate this city!¡± ¡°However this Xiantian pellet will attract many powerful experts, and even with the power of City lord, I¡¯m afraid they will be unstoppable!¡± In the morning, all the warriors were discussing about this matter at the inn. ¡°Gee, have you not seen,st night, several famous experts of peak Houtian ninth stage rushed into the city!¡± ¡°Absolutely, this morning, I saw that Great Qingcheng city lord personally came to request a Xiantian pellet for his only son!¡± In a sh, a few days had already passed and the news had gradually spread far and wide like a huge fire, many famous masters had arrived, and this matter had even attracted the Great Qingcheng city lord, a Xiantian expert. Qingfeng Mountain was located in the southwest region, far away from the central regions of Yue State, where a Xiantian expert would naturally attract the attention of everyone. Great Qingcheng was the nearest city from Tianyuan city, its size and poption were almost simr to that of Tianyuan City, and Qingcheng city lord was also a master of the Xiantian realm. Great Qingcheng city lord hade for the sake of his only son, who had been a master of the peak Houtian ninth stage for a long time. However, even if these famous masters had dared to arrive into the Tianyuan City, the City lord had still remained silent. Every night many experts would try to sneak into the City lord pce, although, most of them were quite miserable as City Lord Pce guards were very strict and would openly shoot arrows at them, killing many in the process. One night, 23 experts, who were trying to cause trouble, were killed at the City lord Pce,. Ye Xiwen was not too much concerned about this matter because he was concentrating on consolidating his newly obtained stage. In the room, Ye Xiwen took a long breath and opened his eyes. He had fully consolidated the newly obtained realm, and had also sessfully pushed to middle of Houtian eighth stage. Now he could easily face the masters of peak Houtian ninth stage. However he had already consumed fifteen hundred low-grade spirit stones, leaving only four thousand five hundred in his stock. ¡ª- Chapter 34 – Auction Chapter 34 ¨C Auction Although forty five hundred low-grade spirit stones still remained in his stock, but for Ye Xiwen, they were still not enough. The consumption rate of spirit stones was simply too high and it had further increased with the increasing pace of cultivation. (NT: Since now he is at the eighth stage and it takes a lot of spirit stones to break through at higher stages) Ye Xiwen got up early in the morning, but he did not continue to shut himself in the room, rather his n was to visit the city¡¯srgest auction house, Tianyin auction house. He wanted to visit the Tianyin auction house because City lord had finally made an official statement that he had sessfully refined four Xiantian pellets, two for his personal use and the rest two would be auctioned in the city¡¯srgest auction house, the Tianyin auction house. The auction was going to start in three days. The Tianyin auction house had already be the target of public discussions. If this was a general auction house then it would not havested long in front of so many powerful warriors of the ninth stage, but Tianyin auction house was quite influential. It had branches in many cities and it¡¯s headquarter was located in the capital city of big Yue state. It had a great influence in the big Yue state region so how could these warriors cause trouble for it. Ye Xiwen was nning to go and take a look, because this month at the Tianyin auction house, someone might have something good to auction which might benefit him. Tianyin auction house was very famous in Tianyuan town, so it was quite easy for Ye Xiwen to locate it. When he saw the Tianyin auction house for the first time, he suddenly felt overwhelmed, no wonder it was called thergest auction house of the state. Weekdays were already very busy at Tianyin auction house, and this time it was even more crowded due to the inflow of arge number of warriors. Fortunately the inside of the auction house was very spacious; otherwise it would have been impossible for so many of those warriors to go inside and participate in the auction. As Ye Xiwen was about to go in, he was stopped by a guard saying it was required to pay the fee of five low-grade spirit stones before entering the auction house. Ye Xiwen suddenly got furious, but when he saw other people honestly paying the entrance fee, he did not say anything but paid the fee and entered the auction house. Ye Xiwen quickly took a seat. Tianyin auction house held ten or so auctions every day, and each auction continued for an hour, so one could enter any time and bid. He sat in themon seating area, and on the second floor there was a VIP reserved box where only honored guests could sit. ¡°Bang!¡± The wooden mallet hit on the table causing the sound to spread throughout the auction area. An old man in white robe appeared with few documents in one hand and holding a mallet in another. Ye Xiwen looked at the man and was stunned, because this white-robed old man was actually a master of the Houtian ninth stage. Tianyin auction house was quite formidable, and had actually sent an expert of the ninth stage to manage the auction. However in the past few days, City lord¡¯s announcement about the Xiantian pellet¡¯s auction had attracted a lot of strong warriors toe to participate in the auction. If a master was not sent over to oversee these guys, then they would definitely destroy this city along with themselves. ¡°Thank you all for attending today¡¯s first auction in spite of your busy schedules, I believe that, like always, the auction organized by our auction house will not let you down!¡± The white-robe old man said very slowly. ¡°I believe everyone knows the rules, so I won¡¯t repeat them, now we will immediately start the auction, the first item of this auction is a long double-edged sword made of high quality alloy, it is also a high grade weapon!¡± The old man in white robes said. At this time, a maid approached holding a silver tray and put it on the table. The white-robed old man took off the red cloth from the silver tray, and all could see the fine workmanship of this light red long double-edged sword lying quietly on the tray. Ye Xiwen had no use for this kind of sword, because what he had practiced was a de technique which required a de. Also he felt that his own de was far superior to this light red long sword. However he had not noticed that there were a lot of people looking enviously at the man who had won the bidding and bought this double-edged long sword for two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Ye Xiwen certainly knew that this was just an appetizer and the real deal was yet to reveal itself. The Tianyin auction house continued the auction and brought awesome weapons or treasures one after the other, but none of these could win his heart and were practically useless to him, that is why he did not participate in the bidding for these items. Gradually the people sitting in the VIP box began to bid one after the other in session, and the price they were offering was veryrge aspared to those sitting in themon area. Those honored guests undoubtedly had a very distinguished and domineering aurapared to thosemon warriors sitting underneath in themon seating area. After about half an hour, suddenly the old man¡¯s words, exining about the next auction item , piqued Ye Xiwen¡¯s interest. ¡°Next we will auction a secret book!¡± The white-robed old man said with a smile. ¡°It is a type power technique which is used to train the body and ording to our appraisers, it is possibly a Xiantian level power technique, but unfortunately it is iplete, however, it is also no less than an intermediate level power technique!¡± Then he opened up the red cloth and everyone saw a somewhat tattered secret book. The inscription over it said ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· (NT: this power technique will strengthen his body, like that of a tyrant level master) ¡°The minimum price for this ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· has been set to two hundred low-grade spirit stones!¡± The old man in white robes said. If it was aplete Xiantian level power technique then the price of two hundred lower-grade spirit stones was literally negligiblepared to its actual worth and anyone would have eagerly paid for it. However it was an iplete technique and could only be considered an intermediate power technique, which was a serious w and no one wanted to pay two hundred low-grade spirit stones for a mere intermediate power technique. However this secret book was a waste of money (spirit stones) for others but for Ye Xiwen, this was a god sent gift. He had tried before and had sessfully deduced the original missing parts of ¡®Celestial step¡¯ secret book. So as long as there were enough spirit stones in his possession, he would be able topletely deduce a Xiantian level power technique even if it was damaged or iplete. Right now, he justcked a physical-training type power technique. (NT: physical training=training the body; he has ¡®Celestial step¡¯ for agility, ¡®Cold moon beheader¡¯ is a de technique and ¡®bright jade power¡¯ for cultivation) ¡°Three hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones!¡± Ye Xiwen took the lead and shouted. ¡°Four hundred!¡± As Ye Xiwen¡¯s voice faded, a loud voice came from the VIP box. ¡°Four hundred and ten!¡± Ye Xiwen added ten more and said. ¡°Five hundred!¡± That honored guest in the VIP box added arger number. Five hundred low-grade spirit stones were enough to buy even some advanced power techniques; this honored guest had a lot of money but no better ce to spend? ¡°Five hundred and fifty!¡± Ye Xiwen clenched his teeth and said. ¡°Six hundred!¡± The other party increased the bid yet again. Only Ye Xiwen and the honored guest were left on the scene bidding for that secret book, and as far as those warriors were concerned, the cost of six hundred low-grade spirit stones to buy a damaged power technique was totally iprehensible! Regarding those honored guests sitting in the VIP box, they would highly unlikely buy a mere intermediate level power technique, so in the end, only Ye Xiwen and that other honored guest were bidding for the secret book. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 35 – Ambush Chapter 35 ¨C Ambush ¡°Six hundred and fifty!¡± Ye Xiwen said and increased the bid yet again, although this amount was already quite high for a damaged power technique. Even aplete advanced power technique would only cost not more than one thousand low-grade spirit stones. ¡°Seven hundred!¡± The other side was definitely not short on money and increased the bid. At this time, many people were already very excited as if watching a theatrical y. ¡°Eight hundred!¡± Ye Xiwen clenched his teeth and said, because this was the most he could pay for this secret book. And if the other party increased the bid then he would have no other choice but to give up, as going any far would be uneconomical for him. ¡°Bastard, who is this person daring topete with me!¡± Inside the box, seeing that Ye Xiwen had unexpectedly continued topete for the secret book, a young man got suddenly furious and threw down the teacup from his hand. He often liked to set the initial price on auction items and enjoyed otherspeting over them. However this time, Ye Xiwen had not just dared topete with him but had also stolen the limelight by setting the initial bidding price for this item. ¡°I want to know who this guy really is, and then I will personally chop him into pieces!¡± The young man said. Even though this item was an iplete power technique but he did not care, he had decided to buy it on a whim, but someone had dared to openly challenge him and this had made him very angry. ¡°Young master, we cannot continue to bid because beforeing here, your father had informed us that our goal is the Xiantian pellet which is going to be auctioned in few days. Sopared to this damaged Xiantian power technique, a Xiantian pellet is much more important for you. As long as you can be a Xiantian master, our main objective will be achieved, however, if we spend too much on other auction items then I¡¯m afraid we might get short on money for the Xiantian pellet!¡± The old man apanying this young man admonished him. ¡°Let it be, the young master does not need to lower himself to his level, we have already seen his face, he has actually dared to challenge our young master, we will make him die a dog¡¯s death and in the end that item will fall into your hands, ha ha ha!¡± The several guards who were assigned to protect this young man said. The young man didn¡¯t continue the bidding and Ye Xiwen finally bought the secret book for eight hundred low-grade spirit stones. Ye Xiwen lightly patted the secret book, but after he had obtained this secret book, he discovered that the young man in the VIP box was unexpectedly the son of Great Qingcheng City lord, Zhao Qiyan. Great Qingcheng City lord had especiallye to help Zhao Qiyan in obtaining the Xiantian pellet. However even if he knew that the other party was not someone he could easily trifle wit but he still did not flinch. Yi Xiwen was not a soft person who would passively endure if someone was to bully him, and if the other party wanted to fight then he would definitely give them a hard time. After the auction was over, he left the auction house, but only after a moment he sensed that someone was following him. Suddenly Ye Xiwen felt tight in his heart, after arriving at the Tianyuan City, he certainly hadn¡¯t offended anyone. Then the only possibility could be that son of Great Qingcheng City lord, Zhao Qiyan. Ye Xiwen stayed calm and collected and simply entered an alley. Several figures revealed and were exactly that Zhao Qiyan¡¯s bodyguards. ¡°Experts?¡± Ye Xiwen was firmly staring at the Great Qingcheng experts, then in a blink of an eye, suddenly his figure disappeared which also shocked those bodyguards. The four experts from Great Qingcheng city, who were previously concealing their presence, finally revealed themselves. ¡°Not good, don¡¯t let that kid get away, catch him!¡± Immediately an expert of big stature advanced violently and chased after Ye Xiwen. Although originally they were quite far enough from Ye Xiwen when he had vanished, but considering their speeds, this distance was really not too long. Only after a while, they appeared inside that alley where Ye Xiwen had disappeared to. ¡°How can he vanish like that, damn, don¡¯t tell me he had realized that we were tracking him!¡± A bodyguard said with frustration. ¡°No he didn¡¯t, we four had deliberately hidden our presence, also he was hundred meters away from us, so he couldn¡¯t possibly sense us!¡± Another bodyguard said. ¡°Not good, damn it, this kid was deliberately not hiding his presence, because he wanted us to let our guard down and reveal ourselves out in open!¡± A tall and strong bodyguard suddenly reacted and said. Theplexion of other three experts had slightly changed. These experts were all veterans, they were not fools and reacted quickly, although they didn¡¯t know if Ye Xiwen had intentionally concealed his presence or not, but there was still a possibility. ¡°Now, it¡¯s toote!¡± Ye Xiwen said in an icy cold voice, he was standing on a brick wall in the alley, ¡°I never thought that the son of the Great Qingcheng City lord would actually do such a thing, and if the news about it spreads out then won¡¯t he turn into aughing stock?¡± Ye Xiwen frowned as he sensed that all of these four bodyguards were actually the masters of the Houtian ninth stage. ¡°Who do you think you are? You have dared to challenge our young master so be prepared for the worse kid!¡± A guard sneered and said. ¡°Stop talking nonsense and kill this kid, do not let the young master wait for too long!¡± Another guard said impatiently. ¡°Trying to kill me, with just four of you?¡± Ye Xiwen took few steps, and then his figure swept down the brick wall like a storm and rushed towards the four guards. He pulled out his long de and chopped down, and then appeared a violent Daoqi which instantly turned into nine de shadows and spread into the sky. A bodyguard got surrounded by these de shadows. (NT: Daoqi= de qi) ¡°How is this possible!¡± A horrified look shed in the eyes of that bodyguard, he was very scared in his heart because this de attack was very frightening, and this kid had actually practiced his de technique to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ level? Although these bodyguards had already reached the Houtian ninth stage, but not even one of them had practiced a technique to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ level. These masters were already at the ninth stage but their strengths was stillcking whenpared to Ye Xiwen¡¯s monstrous strength. Although Ye Xiwen had only reached the eighth stage, but thanks to him practicing multiple Xiantian power techniques and consuming monkey liquor, he was already capable of contending against masters of the peak ninth stage. Unfortunately, these guards could never be his opponents because they had not even practiced the advanced power techniques. ¡°Puchi!¡± The bodyguard had no time to response and was directly cut in half by Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack. From the eyes of a bystander, it looked as if he simply stood there and allowed Ye Xiwen to kill him, however, the fact was that he was totally surrounded by Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack and had no way left to escape, he could only watch himself getting beheaded. ¡°Third brother!¡± The remaining three guards shouted with grief. ¡°Let¡¯s kill him together!¡± In a blink of an eye, a warrior of the ninth stage had been killed, so it was obvious that those guards felt immense horror in their hearts, but their intention to kill had also grown thicker. If this young enemy was already so powerful, then how much terrifying he might be in the future. Immediately the three bodyguards stood in a formation creating a triangr envelop and pounced towards Ye Xiwen. Ten or more steps away, each of these three bodyguards had drawn out a long de and chopped out their des towards Ye Xiwen. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: i know its a cliffhanger, so wait a few more hours for chapter 36) Chapter 36 – Strength of 90 Tigers Chapter 36 ¨C Strength of 90 Tigers ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± The long de danced in Ye Xiwen¡¯s hands and the Zhen Qi instantly shed taking the shape of a de and chopped down against the iing three long des of those three guards. These three men alone were not a match for Ye Xiwen, but this trio had obviously practiced a joint attack method, and when they joined their forces together then the attack power would also increase greatly. ¡°Kill him!¡± The three guards shouted and their des chopped off together towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you have no chance!¡± Ye Xiwen said indifferently. Suddenly his long de chopped out a bright light. ¡°Missing moon beheader, the first de!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de chopped down cutting through the de of a bodyguard. ¡°Bang!¡± The second de! Power contained in this second de was morepared to the first de. ¡°Bang!¡± The third de contained such a terrible power that it cut both the bodyguard and his de into two halves. ¡°Fourth brother!¡± The remaining two guards shouted in grief and indignation. ¡°Second brother, quickly go, and tell young master to take revenge for us!¡± The boss of those bodyguards said indignantly. The two bodyguards looked at Ye Xiwen with bitterness in their eyes, and the boss wanted that the second brother should escape and get some help to take revenge on Ye Xiwen for mercilessly killing the guards. The second brother did not hesitate and he instantly jumped upon the roof to escape. ¡°You want to run away!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. The irony was that these four guards hade to kill him but two of them had been killed instead and he had already made up his mind not to show them any mercy. However, losing four masters of ninth stage would be a huge loss even for the Great Qingcheng City lord. Ye Xiwen chopped down his de which shed and dazzled in the sky and in no time, his de attack directly rushed towards the second bodyguard who was trying to escape. ¡°Puchi!¡± Since the second bodyguard was already in the air, there was no room for him to dodge this de attack. He was directly cut into two halves and fell down. ¡°Second brother!¡± The Boss was in distraught and looked at Ye Xiwen with hatred and killing intent, ¡°Little beast, you killed my brother, I will not let you live!¡± ¡°Since the time you havee to kill me, I have already decided to punish you all, because even if I don¡¯t have any enmity with you, but you still chased me without any cause, for this sin heavens may forgive you but I won¡¯t!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and rushed towards the bodyguard boss. Bodyguard boss had not thought that it would be like this, and there was a crazy look in his eyes, and he madly made an attack on Ye Xiwen. The two figures fiercely shed against each other. ¡°Puchi!¡± After a few rounds, Ye Xiwen¡¯s backhand de beheaded the bodyguard boss. Ye Xiwen seized more than two thousand low-grade spirit stones from the body of the four bodyguards. These stones were enough to make up for the loss that he had to face during the biddingpetition with Zhao Qiyan, and now his stock of low-grade spirit stones also went up to six thousand. Ye Xiwen went back to the inn, and immediately began to cultivate to be fully prepared for the major auction which was going to begin in three days. Ye Xiwen immediately began to cultivate ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· ording to the description given in the secret book. The technique focused on training the mortal flesh and body which would eventually turn the body¡¯s constitution to that of an evil god¡¯s. It was believed that this technique had been practiced since ancient times and was also considered as one of the most tough-to-practice techniques, however, since the secret book was damaged, so only the firstyer could be practiced. Although there was only oneyer intact, but when the power was taken into consideration then it was not at all inferior to other intermediate level power techniques. ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡·, as the name suggested, was so overbearing and powerful that after practicing it, Ye Xiwen would not be able to practice any other body training techniques and he also won¡¯t need to. The reason why this technique was put out for auction by Tianyin auction house was that it only had the firstyer intact, and regardless of being the great ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡·, how much one could expect from only the firstyer. Since it only had oneyer intact, it was pretty good for an average warrior who could practice it as an intermediate power technique. Also for the giant auction houses like Tianyin auction house, this iplete technique was a bit useless as they possessed many other body training techniques. But for Ye Xiwen, it was the most suitable power technique. Even if it had only the firstyer intact, but it was actuallyparable to intermediate level techniques. For others ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· was nothing more than a damaged technique which wasparable to only the mere intermediate level techniques, but Ye Xiwen was capable of deducing the missing original parts of this technique in the ¡®special space¡¯. As long as he possessed enough spirit stones, practicing this technique to its peak level would not be a problem for him. With the continuousbustion of spirit stones, Ye Xiwen entered the ¡®special space¡¯ and started to practice ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· and suddenly all of its secrets started to flow into his mind. He felt as if his body was being torn apart and restructuring, tearing and rbining, his flesh was being torn off and the cells were restructuring themselves ording to a mysterious structure. His face turned blue with pain and cold sweat was dripping off his forehead because practicing ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· was way more painful than he had imagined. It was as if he was being torn alive, and then he felt that he was being restructured. For normal experts, this pain could have been so unbearable that they would have definitely fainted by now. Although it was extremely painful, but he did not stop because he could clearly feel his strength was improving rapidly. This feeling was even more vigorouspared to the time when he had consumed the monkey wine. To him, this tearing pain was unbearable and made him to see the illusion of him being dropped into both the heavenly ice and fire. Time passed slowly, one second, one minute passed, but he only found himself suffering from pain and also feeling fully delighted at the same time due to the sudden power surge inside his body. ¡°Boom!¡± As if a barrier was broken, Ye Xiwen heard a crackling sound and his strength had developed tremendously. He already had a strength of seventy Tigers, which unexpectedly increased by twenty. Even the strength of the masters of the Houtian ninth stage was far lowerpared to Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength of 90 Tigers. And he had only practiced the firstyer of ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· Ye Xiwen reckoned that if the firstyer of ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· was practiced to the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm, then he would definitely break through to the power of the dragons, and then he would also be able to fight against Xiantian masters. Dragon race was the world¡¯s most formidable ethnic group, however, the purebred Dragon ns had already disappeared in ancient times, leaving only some inferior dragon species where Wyverns were one of rare ones. Once the strength of a warrior broke through the strength of 90 Tigers, then his strength waspared with the strength of the Wyverns. Masters of the peak Houtian ninth stage possessed the strength of 99 Tigers, however, Ye Xiwen reckoned that once he would reach the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm of the firstyer of the ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡·, then he would directly break through to the power of a dragon. (NT: ¡®Wyvern¡¯ species of a dragon) As expected, ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· was really a kickass technique. Ye Xiwen felt that buying it was not a wrong decision, although he had ended up annoying Zhao Qiyan, but he had no regrets. (NT: Niubi = kickass) ¡ª¨C (NT: This chapter was a pain in the ass to trante with many redundant exnations ; you may have some doubts so feel free to ask) Chapter 37 – Competition in the auction house Chapter 37 ¨C Competition in the auction house As the days passed, more and more warriors continued to arrive at the Tianyuan city. In addition to the Great Qingcheng City lord, two other big shots also arrived in thest two days. They were the lords of Bloody Hand School and ck Magic Valley. Both of them were the great experts of Xiantian realm and held quite an illustrious reputation in the neighboring schools. They hade for the sake of the outstanding disciples from their respective schools, and were going to request the City Lord Pce for a Xiantian pellet. However, when they came to know that the Xiantian pellets were going to be auctioned, they decided topete for the pellets at the Tianyin auction house. Early in the morning, Ye Xiwen went to the Tianyin auction house where the major auction of Xiantian pellets was going to take ce. Compared to a few days ago, the auction house waspletely packed with people this time. An overwhelming number of warriors had gathered outside the auction house and this situation was quite troublesome for the guards. However, a scene like this was not umon whenever a major item was auctioned at the Tianyuan auction house. Those who caused trouble were directly thrown out of the Tianyin auction house and were also banned from attending the auction. However, this situation was not a problem for Ye Xiwen. He directly used the ¡¶Celestial Step¡· and shuttled inside the auction house. He paid the required amount of spirit stones and received his seating pass. Ye Xiwen just walked into themoner¡¯s passage and caught a sudden glimpse of arge group of honored guests walking through the VIP passage. This group was being led by a middle-aged man, d in blood red Chinese robe, and he also carried a bloody aura around him. The smell of blood had spread everywhere inside the auction hall, and his hands were big and scarlet colored. Behind him followed a young man wearing bloodstained clothes. He had a paleplexion as if recovering from some serious illness and there was a cold and gloomy look in his eyes. His hands were also scarlet colored like the middle-aged man. ¡°Everyone quickly hide, these are the people from Bloody Hand School. And its lord An Yuan has personally brought his brigade!¡± ¡°Gee, this auction of the Xiantian pellets has attracted many big shots. That guy who is following An Yuan is actually his favorite disciple An Yunpeng. An Yuan has personallye to buy a Xiantian pellet for him!¡± ¡°Yes, he¡¯s right, look at his scarlet hands. This blood hand technique requires the person to train his hands to bear and control a considerable amount of heat. And I have also heard that this martial art requires the blood of the living. No one knows how many talented people have been massacred by him!¡± ¡°Hush, Hush, do you want to die? Don¡¯t you know those are all depraved warriors!¡± The people in the crowd were talking in whispers. ¡°Just now, I saw that the lord of the ck Magic Valley has also arrived!¡± ¡°Exactly! This time, all these influential experts are going topete for Xiantian pellets!¡± Ye Xiwen did not have to wait for too long and quickly found his seat. He closed his eyes waiting for the auction to start. After about half an hour, the auction finally started. ¡°We wee all of you all to participate in this auction!¡± The auctioneer this time was the same white-robed old man from thest time, ¡°We all know why everybody hase to attend today¡¯s auction. So without wasting any time on useless talks, let us start today¡¯s auction! ¡° Compared to thest time, the quality of the auction items was very high this time. ¡°This double-edged sword, named Bi Xue, is made of a thousand years old cold iron. Our auction house has brought for you this outstanding work of a great master, and its starting price is two thousand low-grade spirit stones!¡± In front of the old man, a blue colored double-edged sword was lying quietly on top of a tinum tray. The sword de was cold as ice causing the surrounding air to condense. It was evident that this ice cold sword was a magic weapon. (NT: Bi Xue means Blue jade snow) Compared to the previous auction items, the quality had significantly improved this time, however, Ye Xiwen was not interested in swords. What he had practiced was a de technique for which he used a long de. And there was a great difference between a de and a sword, so no matter how good this sword actually was; it was of no use to him. Even if he was not interested, but there were a lot of people who were very much interested, and this time, the warriors who hade to attend this auction were quite rich. ¡°Two thousand three hundred!¡± ¡°Two thousand five hundred!¡± ¡°Three thousand!¡± . . . . The auctionsted for two minutes and Bi Xue sword was finally sold at the price of four thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Ye Xiwen was speechless at the huge amount that the experts were willing to pay for this sword. One after the other, the Tianyin auction house continued to auction some nice weapons and treasure items. But none of these auction items could attract Ye Xiwen¡¯s attention, and so he did notpete for them. Of course, the most important reason was that these items were very expensive and he could not afford them. He was waiting for something which could interest him and was also affordable. Gradually the honored guests seated in the VIP box also began topete. Compared to the people sitting in themon area, these guests, undoubtedly, possessed an extraordinary aura and the prices they were offering were also off the charts. But then an auction item suddenly attracted Ye Xiwen¡¯s attention. ¡°Next we want to auction an inner armor, this armor stems from the hands of a great expert. It is woven out of golden cicada silk, and swords or spears find it hard to pierce it. Also with this inner armor, I guarantee the personal safety to anyone who wears it! ¡± The white robed old man said with a smile. Then he uncovered the red cloth and everyone saw a snow-white inner armor quietly lying on top of the tray. ¡°The bidding for this armor will start at four thousand!¡± The white-robed old man said. The thing was that these defense type items wereparatively more expensive than the offense type weapons. Generally weapons were not so expensive, but since this inner armor guaranteed the safety of life, so it wasparatively more expensive. ¡°Five thousand five hundred!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and took the lead. He was very much interested in this body armor, although he knew that he probably won¡¯t be able to get his hands on it, after all, he possessed limited financial resources but he still wanted to give it a try. ¡°Eight thousand!¡± As soon as Ye Xiwen¡¯s voice faded, an arrogant young voice shouted immediately. Arrogance was clearly visible in the voice that had increased the bidding price instantly by two thousand five hundred. Ye Xiwen frowned, but what could he do, as this kind of insane auctioning was quite normal at the Tianyin auction house. He looked towards the auction stage where the white-robed old man was smiling. Ye Xiwen finally recognized this voice which actually belonged to the arrogant son of Great Qingcheng City lord, Zhao Qiyan. ¡°Nine thousand!¡± Another honored guest seated in the VIP box shouted and increased the bid. Looking at the position of his seat, he clearly belonged to the ck Magic Valley. ¡°Ten thousand!¡± Zhao Qiyan spoke again in a triumphant tone. ¡°Twelve thousand!¡± The young master of the ck Magic Valley said who also had an arrogant appearance. ¡°Fifteen thousand!¡± Zhao Qiyan spoke again as if he did not care about money at all. Atst, the young master of the ck Magic Valley had to concede and Zhao Qiyan bought the inner armor. ¡ª- Chapter 38 – Climax Chapter 38 ¨C Climax ¡°Next we want to auction the two Xiantian pellets for which everybody hase here. I assume, everyone present here knows the importance and use of a Xiantian pellet. When someone swallows a Xiantian pellet, then his chances of sessfully breaking through to the Xiantian realm will be increased by 50%. The starting price for one Xiantian pellet will be twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones!¡± The white-robed old man said. Atst, the auction of Xiantian pellet began. ¡°Forty thousand!¡± Zhao Qiyan was the first to bid once again. He wanted to quell everyone in one swoop. ¡°Forty-five thousand!¡± At this time a voice broke in and suddenly blew everyone¡¯s enthusiasm. ¡°Fifty thousand!!¡± ¡°Fifty-three thousand!¡± . . . . . . Suddenly the honored guests seated in the VIP box started to bid one after the other. Xiantian pellet was the main goal of these Xiantian level masters, so how could they miss this opportunity. At this time, besides the honored guests seated in the VIP box, other people, sitting in themon area, were basically reduced to mere spectators. Such a high price, they were not even qualified to get involved. ¡°Seventy thousand!¡± Zhao Qiyan again said in a triumphant voice. By this time, many people had already stopped bidding seeing the high price set by Zhao Qiyan. Only the major powers were stillpeting. ¡°Eighty five thousand!¡± Representing the Bloody Hand School, this time, An Yunpeng finally spoke. He was the first person other than Zhao Qiyan who had directly increased the bid by ten thousand in one statement. ¡°One hundred and fifty thousand! Our City Guard Government is willing to pay one hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, so I hope you will give us face!¡± This time, a middle-aged man¡¯s voice spread out. He was actually the head of City Guard Government. Because the City Lord Pce and City Guard Government were never on good terms with each other, no one had expected that City Guard Government would actuallye to participate in the auction of Xiantian pellets. But they were willing to pay a huge amount of one hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones which was not a small sum. All the forces were silent for a moment and did not continue to increase the bid. They did not fear the City Guard Government but the Great Yue Royal Government which backed the City Guard Government in the Tianyuan City. These forces were rampant in the nearby regions of the Qingfeng Mountain and the government officials could not do anything to stop them. But they knew very well that it was because Qingfeng Mountain and nearby regions were located at the border regions of the Great Yue State, and were far away from the central regions. Since no one was here to keep an eye on them, they could run amuck without caring about anyone or anything. But City Guard Government was here on behalf of the Great Yue Royal Government. Even killing the Tianyuan City Lord was not a big deal to them but if they killed the City Guard then they will have to face the thundering fury of the Great Yue Royal Government. It was widely known that Great Yue Royal Government used to hide its shorings by indiscriminately massacring all of the people who poised threat to them or disrespected them. Moreover, the government had formed a conquering army specifically to deal with these rogue schools, excluding the Yi Yuan School and a few other huge forces which did not fear the Great Yue Royal Government. So it was quite obvious why no one wanted to disrespect the City Guard Government. City Guard Government awed the audience by buying the first Xiantian pellet for 150,000 low-grade spirit stones. After the first Xiantian pellet was sold, the second one attracted morepetition from countless people. But how could anyonepete against the financial resources of Great Qingcheng City lord, ck Magic Valley and the most violent Bloody Hand School. The other bidders got eliminated almost immediately when the bidding amount crossed one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. ¡°One hundred and thirty thousand!¡± This time, the young master of the ck Magic Valley spoke and increased the bid, ¡°I hope you will give us face and in the future, we will also give you face!¡± ¡°Your idiot, do you think your face is made of gold eh!¡± The young master of Great Qingcheng City said with disdain as for Tianyuan City Guard government, he had some fear, but he didn¡¯t fear the ck Magic Valley at all. ¡°One hundred and fifty thousand!¡± Zhao Qiyan said in a victorious manner. ¡°Zhao Qiyan, so you n topete with me!¡± The young master of the ck Magic Valley said. Wen Qingxing was a handsome young man, but this time, his handsome face was covered with haze and was radiating a dense gloomy feeling. ¡°So what!¡± Zhao Qiyan did not care. ¡°One hundred and sixty thousand!¡± A sudden a voice spread out from the reserved box of Bloody Hand School. The little master An Yunpeng gave out an evil smile while supporting his chin on his bloody hands and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry you two, but I am also interested in a Xiantian pellet!¡± Seeing the price for the second Xiantian pellet had surpassed the first one, Ye Xiwen felt that something was strange. The young masters of these three forces were continuously increasing the bidding price, but the elders were very tolerant and said nothing, as if they did not even exist. But Ye Xiwen could clearly sense that these three forces had terrible aura surrounding them, which was definitely not simr to his father¡¯s aura. Although Ye Kongming was also a Xiantian master, but Ye Xiwen had never felt such an unfathomable aura from his father. ¡°One hundred and eighty thousand!¡± Wen Qingxing said in deep voice. ¡°Two hundred thousand!¡± Zhao Qiyan immediately said as if he simply did not care about money, but it really was true to say that when the money was taken into consideration then Great Qingcheng City Lord was the richest among the bidders. His n received 80% of the city taxes, and owned more than one third of the businesses in the Qingcheng city. And it was impossible for anyone topete against the Qingcheng City Lord when money was involved. Sure enough, as Ye Xiwen had expected, Wen Qingxing and An Yunpeng had abandoned thepetition. Zhao Qiyan had finally won and received a small red bag containing thest Xiantian pellet. This Xiantian pellet auction finally came to a close. But Ye Xiwen knew that the real y had only just begun and thispetition had not yet ended. There were only a few people left at the auction house, the City Guard Government had hastily evacuated while being escorted by arge number of soldiers. And after buying the second Xiantian pellet, Great Qingcheng City lord also left quietly. Ye Xiwen also quietly got up and went out of the auction house, and not far from the auction house, he saw the Great Qingcheng City people hastily walking away to leave the city as soon as possible. However, Bloody hand door and ck Magic Valley Lords, with their own teams, were also following from behind. Ye Xiwen now understood very well, that the earlier auction was just a prelude, and the real climax was going to begin only now. Obviously, everyone was aware of this truth but no one wanted to be a part of a deadly battle. Tianyuan City Guard Government was heavily protected and security naturally was not a problem for them but for the Great Qingcheng City Lord and his people, things were going to take a bad turn. ¡ª- (NT: Expect the next two chapters in few hours) Chapter 39 – Sneak attack Chapter 39 ¨C Sneak attack Ye Xiwen started following them closely at a moderate pace while hiding his presence at the same time. Since he had already practiced ¡®Celestial Step¡¯ to a very profound level, keeping up with these people was not at all difficult for him. Ye Xiwen, while following those people, arrived at a remote mountain which was located far away from Tianyuan city. Great Qingcheng City Lord and Zhao Qiyan were escaping along with a big crowd of experts. This group consisted of a total of approximately 50 people. They were running very fast and trying their best to escape this perilous situation. Not far behind, Qingcheng city group was being pursued by the experts from ck Magic Valley, led by their Lord Wen Bin. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man but his face was full of malicious look. ¡°Be careful, someone is following us!¡± Great Qingcheng City Lord seemed to have sensed the ck Magic Valley group. ¡°Ha ha ha, it is indeed the Great Qingcheng City Lord!¡± ck Magic Valley¡®s Lord Wen Binughed and said. His voice was hoarse but when he gave out a loudugh, it seemed to have an extremely prating force which was effective enough to break the soul of an ordinary person. After discovering his targets so close, ck Magic Valley Lord did not wait for too long. He immediately led his group to kill and plunder. ¡°So it¡¯s you old Wen Bin!¡± Great Qingcheng City Lord, Zhao Yan, narrowed his eyes and said while a strong Qi spread in the sky. ¡°Hello, City Lord Zhao. I must say that you are an extraordinary personality of this generation, and it is quite admirable that you have single handedly established such a strong foothold in the Great Qingcheng city. That¡¯s why, I do not want to bully you, just surrender the Xiantian pellet and I will leave immediately. Also in the future, our ck Magic Valley will always give you face!¡± Wen Bin smiled and said in a hoarse voice. ¡°You want to dere war on our Qingcheng City, because that would mean dering war on Great Yue Royal Government which is also working secretly in our city. Are you not afraid of the Great Yue Royal Government¡¯s conquering army?¡± Zhao Yan said lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t you try to fool me! You say I am dering war on Great Yue Royal Government? I am not a foolishly daring person. How can I possibly imagine going against Great Yue Royal Government. Besides, you think I do not know that you and Qingcheng City Guard Government are mutually exclusive. In fact, they are looking forward to your early demise, and you think they wille to help you, huh!¡± Wen Bin sneered repeatedly and exposed Zhao Yan¡¯s situation. ¡°Withdraw! You all have to protect my son at any cost and help him escape!¡± Zhao Yan suddenly shouted and ordered his subordinates. He knew very well that right now, his only weak point was his son Zhao Qiyan¡¯s presence in this dangerous situation. He himself was a Xiantian master and could handle any kind of situation even if he was alone. However if Zhao Qiyan was present in the vicinity, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to fight freely and would worry about his son¡¯s safety all the time. ¡°You want to run? Dream on!¡± Wen Bin sneered repeatedly and roared, ¡°Kill them!¡± With Wen Bin¡¯s loud and heart shaking roar, the experts of the ck Magic Valley immediately rushed towards therge crowd of Qingcheng City experts. It was like the two mighty currents had crashed into each other mercilessly. Followed by Zhao Yan and Wen Bin, the two crowds of powerful experts shed and started fighting maliciously. Everyone was filled with rage and killing intent and an unbearable aura had spread all over ce. All of these experts were very vicious and ferocious! Wen Bin and Zhao Yan, these two Xiantian level great experts also severely shed against each other causing a shock wave which shook the entire area. Zhao Yan made a long spear and a majestic Qi spread out throughout his body. He looked like a peerless warrior, who rushed through the crowd of enemies and even swept away many ck Magic Valley disciples. None of those disciples could block his attacks. Wen Bin took out a long sword and attacked the necks of his enemies killing them one by one in single stroke. He was like a poisonous snake which had left its hole and was advancing in the direction of Zhao Yan to bite his neck. ¡°Boom!¡± Zhao Yan¡¯s long spear fiercely shed with the sword of Wen Bin. Suddenly, their terrible Qi burst out from their bodies. The blue colored Zhen Qi and blood-red Zhen Qi fiercely shed causing an air-explosion and a powerful shock wave spread wide and far. Both of them were Xiantian level masters. Once they began to fight, their terrible Zhen Qi of the Xiantian realm brandished recklessly producing many air explosions in the surrounding atmosphere. Zhao Yan was obviously stronger than the Wen Bin and he went on attacking like a mad dragon. ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± Metal shing sounds spread everywhere but in this kind of life and death struggle, none of them dared to be careless. However, the ck Magic Valley Lord Wen Bin Ming was less strongpared to Zhao Yan. And it seemed that he would lose very soon at the hands of Zhao Yan. ¡°Haven¡¯t the friends from the Bloody Hand Schoole out yet? We have already joined forces to kill these Great Qingcheng City experts. Regarding Xiantian pellet, we will slowly negotiateter!¡± ck Magic Valley Lord Wen Bin suddenly said. ¡°Ha ha ha, well, let¡¯s join forces to defeat Zhao Yan!¡± Bloody Hand School Lord An Yuan suddenly appeared and said whileughing loudly. At this time, Zhao Yan¡¯splexion began to change. He could easily deal with Wen Bin but if An Yuan joined forces with Wen Bin then he would definitely be in trouble. An Yuan immediately joined hands with Wen Bin to fight against Zhao Yan. Being attacked by the two Xiantian masters at once was very dangerous for Zhao Yan, as he was only one man against the two. Ye Xiwen did not continue to look at this scene, and instead, he decided to pursue Zhao Qiyan. He immediately rushed towards the direction in which Zhao Qiyan had escaped with his guards. After crossing the deep ravine, one would reach a dense mountain forest where Zhao Qiyan had escaped with his guards. ¡°Young master, don¡¯t go any further, it¡¯s dangerous!¡± Suddenly, an experienced guard rmed Zhao Qiyan. There was a silence spread in this mountain forest and this situation was very abnormal. ¡°Quick, we will make a detour. As long as we can safely return to the Qingcheng city, I will personally lead a troop of experts to kill these bastards of the ck Magic Valley!¡± Zhao Qiyan said in a cold voice. ¡°Qingcheng City¡¯s young master, surrender the Xiantian pellet and I¡¯ll let you go!¡± A slightly coldughter came from the hillside. Zhao Qiyan looked and saw that the owner of this voice was unexpectedly the young master of Bloody hand School, An Yunpeng. ¡°An Yunpeng! You Bloody hand School people are quite ambitious. You actually dared to threaten me, the young master of Great Qingcheng CIty!¡± Zhao Qiyan shouted with anger. ¡°Zhao Qiyan, you really think too highly of yourself. Do you think your father wille to save you now? He is now unable to defend himself, take out the Xiantian pellet, otherwise, don¡¯t me me for being brutal!¡± An Yunpeng sneered. ¡°Guards listen up, kill all of these Bloody Hand School bastards!¡± Arrogant Zhao Qiyan suddenly got extremely mad at An Yunpeng and ordered his guards to attack. Under the orders of both young masters, experts from both sides started fighting to kill each other. Althoughpared to the subordinates of Zhao Yan and Wen Bin, the subordinates of An Yuan were way more brutal and ferocious, despite being fewer in numbers. A terrifying collision urred causing the blood to spill out from the bodies of several people then fell on the ground. Zhao Qiyan pulled out his spear and rushed forward to kill An Yunpeng. The forces of both sides were elite among the elites. All of them were the masters of the peak Houtian ninth stage and none of them were more than 30 years old. This indicated that they could easily reach the Xiantian level in near future. An Yunpeng¡¯s pair of bloody hands struck and instantly, a bloody Qi filled the entire battlefield. The blood of those experts who had died in the battle allowed his ¡®Bloody Hand technique¡¯ to be even more powerful. This technique was obviously so powerful that it had totally thwarted the n of Zhao Qiyan to attack in numbers. Almost instantaneously, Zhao Qiyan had been pushed down by An Yunpeng. Although, Zhao Qiyan¡¯s guards had numerical advantage, they had also been ughtered by the disciples of Bloody Hands School. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: Few more hours and i will release the final chapter of the ¡®Grand release of Chapters 37-40¡¯! Initially, i had nned to release all the four chapters at once but i didn¡¯t want you guys to wait for too long. So i released them as and when i had finished tranting and editing them.) Chapter 40 – Benefits of being the third party at a dispute Chapter 40 ¨C Benefits of being the third party at a dispute ¡°Bang!¡± An Yunpeng did not wait for Zhao Qiyan to recover. He immediately hit Zhao Qiyan¡¯s chest using his palm which went right through his chest creating a big hole. The blood was directly sucked out of his body and his lifeless body fell on the ground. It looked as if the life had directly been sucked out of his body along with the blood. (NT: imagine a mummy without bandages) Bloody hand technique was quite vicious. An Yunpeng took out the storage ring from Zhao Qiyan¡¯s finger. His face was filled with ecstasy after he confirmed that the Xiantian pellet was inside the ring. For people like him, the biggest desire had always been to enter into the Xiantian realm. However, if he tried to break through to the Xiantian realm without using a Xiantian pellet and failed, then the penalty would be quite painful. Because once someone failed to break into the Xiantian realm, then that would lead to a total loss of cultivation and they might die as the worst case scenario. But using a pellet was quite beneficial, because even if the person failed to break through to the Xiantian realm and didn¡¯t die of the rebound then he would not lose anything! There were a lot of benefits of bing a Xiantian master. ¡°Now!¡± Ye Xiwen jumped and while using the ¡®Celestial Step¡¯, he swiftly and suddenly rushed towards An Yunpeng. ¡°Young master, watch out!¡± The disciples of the Bloody Hand School suddenly saw Ye Xiwen and eximed. ¡°Toote!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted. A long de shed brightly in his hand and obscured the eyes of An Yunpeng. ¡°Puchi!¡± An Yunpeng was still enjoying this long-awaited ecstatic moment of his life and he simply didn¡¯t get a chance to dodge Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack, which was as fast as the lightning. An Yunpeng couldn¡¯t react and was directly cut in half. ¡°Young master!¡± ¡°You actually killed our young master, die you bastard!¡± Although these disciples of the Bloody Hand School had killed the guards of Zhao Qiyan, but this was all thanks to the taboo technique they had practiced. The most powerful disciple among them was only a warrior of the Houtian eight stage. So how could they possibly be Ye Xiwen¡¯s opponents? Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de beheaded all of them. The praying mantis had caught the cicada! (NT: an idiom) After killing all the disciples of the Bloody Hand School, Ye Xiwen did not dare to stay for long. There was a risk that the three Xiantian masters might leave the other side of the battlefield ande here. He needed to escape before they arrived. Ye Xiwen seized the two storage rings which belong to the two young masters. He did not stay there for too long and immediately left. Ten minutester, the Great Qingcheng City Lord arrived and saw the dead body of his only son. He saw that blood had been sucked out of his son¡¯s body and suddenly, he started to roar in grief. ¡°Bloody Hand School! You dared to kill my son, today, I vow to obliterate each and every one of you!¡± After taking a detour, Ye Xiwen finally came back to the Tianyuan City. By this time, only half of the warriors had still remained in the City and rest of them had already left. They hade for the Xiantian pellets, but now, both the pellets had already been bought so there was no reason for them to stay in the city. Ye Xiwen quietly went inside the inn. After entering his room, he took a look inside the two storage rings and immediately felt a burst of ecstasy. These two young masters were quite rich. They indeed were the sessors of two major powers. There were hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones inside those two storage rings. For Ye Xiwen, this amount was definitely an astronomical figure. Even for the core disciples, having ten thousand low-grade spirit stones was already enough to call them rich. Possessing an amount of one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones was already a dream, even for the richest core disciples, however, for heirs like Zhao Qiyan and An Yunpeng, possessing such an amount was understandable. His stock of low-grade spirit stones had soared overnight. One could say that for a long period of time, he won¡¯t need to find spirit stones for cultivating inside the ¡®Special Space¡¯. In addition to these spirit stones, there were also some martial arts techniques present inside the rings, but Ye Xiwen felt that these techniques were not suitable for him. In addition to that, there were a lot of medicinal pills and other stuffs present inside the rings. All of a sudden, he had be quite rich. Of course, that white armor was also present inside the storage ring which Zhao Qiyan had bought at the auction house earlier. Unfortunately, he did not get a chance to wear it and it had finally fallen into the hands of Ye Xiwen. Of course, the most important harvest was the Xiantian pellet. Reaching the Xiantian realm was the biggest threshold for an expert. Many warriors would get stuck at the Houtian ninth stage and would never be able to break past this threshold. But now, with the help of Xiantian pellet, Ye Xiwen was confident that he could easily enter the Xiantian realm. Although now was not the time for him to enter into the Xiantian realm. After he had finished checking the inventory, he did not return to Yi Yuan School. He directly began closed-door training. Although other masters needed to find a proper remote ce to start the closed-door training, but he possessed the ¡®Special Space¡¯ so he didn¡¯t need to care about finding a ce for closed-door training. The core disciplespetition was only a month away. Initially, thispetition was going to start after three months. However, this time, the Zhang family was also participating in the core disciplespetition, which was going to take ce in the Blood Yuan Territory. Since Blood Yuan Territory was going to open after a month, so the core disciplespetition had also been preponed by two months. Ye Xiwen wanted to outshine others in this core disciplespetition. So, right now, he just wanted to concentrate on cultivating and practicing the newly obtained power techniques. With the amount of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones in his possession, now he could practice freely without worrying about the consumption of spirit stones. He entered the ¡®Special Space¡¯ and thebustion of spirit stones began, the generated Lingqi quickly entered inside his body. His cultivation started to increase rapidly and various insights about the power techniques started to enter into his mind very rapidly. The amount of information was sorge that it would be impossible even for a genius toprehend all of it. In a blink of an eye, a month had passed. Ye Xiwen was moving swiftly inside the ¡®Special Space¡¯. His figure was like that of an immortal himself. His movements were so fast that sometimes, it seemed as if he had disappeared. Ye Xiwen stopped with a look of surprise on his face. ¡°My hunches were right. This ¡¶Celestial Step¡· really has subsequent moves!¡± This month, his cultivation was nothing like it was a month ago. With rapid advances, his cultivation had directly reached the peak of Houtian eighth stage. There was only a thinyer after which, he could break through to the Houtian ninth stage. Simrly, his ¡¶Missing moon beheader¡· had also improved greatly. Now, he could continuously strike seven des and the total power of his de attack had also increased by five times. His ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡· had reached the ¡¯Xiaocheng¡¯ realm and his strength had directly reached the strength of ny-nine Tigers. This was the peak of strength that a master of the Houtian realm could achieve. ¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: With this chapter, i conclude this grand release.) Chapter 41 – The besieged disciple Chapter 41 ¨C The besieged disciple The most important thing was that this ¡®Special Space¡¯ was capable of deducing the missing original parts of the power techniques. When he had first obtained ¡¶Celestial Step¡·, it contained only the firstyer. Since then, he had been practicing ¡¶Celestial Step¡· and had be very skilled in it. During this month, he had deduced the secondyer of ¡¶Celestial Step¡·, however, he had just barely scratched the surface of this secondyer. He had just taken a short peek at the next realm and the amount of information it contained was so vast that he could not even proceed a single step. However, just from scratching the surface, his understanding of the ¡®Celestial step¡¯ had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, his current speed had increased by two times. While using Celestial Step, whenever he moved, he would split into two identical figures, although only for a moment then it would disappear. But if he sessfully practiced the information that he learnt from peeking into the next realm, then this figure could be maintained for a longer duration. After a month of insane practice, now, Ye Xiwen could easily beat any master of the Houtian ninth stage. The Zhen Qi inside his body had be far more vigorous than the masters of the Houtian ninth stage. Whenever his long de chopped down, it would produce de shadows which together would look like arge de screen and each of these de shadows could easily chop down the air into fragments, while emitting a burst of crackling explosive sounds. (NT: Imagine ¡®Chidori¡¯ made up of de-Qi) After getting stronger, he intended to return to Yi Yuan School to participate in the core disciplepetition. This time¡¯s core disciplepetition was very important, because by participating in it, there was a possibility that he might be one of the direct disciples of Yi Yuan School¡¯s ancestor. Ye Xiwen left the inn and heard from some people that the city was still in uproar thanks to the major auction of Xiantian pellets, which took ce almost a month ago. After practicing the Xiantian pellets, the City Lord Pce had produced two Xiantian level experts and including the City Lord himself, now there were three Xiantian experts belonging to City Lord Pce. This might have be a major disadvantage for the City Guard Government but fortunately, they had also bought a Xiantian pellet and had trained a Xiantian expert of their own. Like this, the bnce of power was still intact. But Ye Xiwen knew that if there were no external interventions, then one day, the Tianyuan City will eventually fall into the hands of the City Lord. But, the good news was that Ye Xiwen and Tianyuan City Lord Pce had no enmity, on the contrary, he had helped a lot during the escort mission. So, he was on good terms with the City Lord Pce. Ye Xiwen soon left the Tianyuan city and headed in the direction of Yi Yuan School. Since his strength had improved several times, now, his speed had also increased dramatically. He was so fast that it seemed as if he was literally flying towards the Yi Yuan School. Ye Xiwen was dashing through a mountain forest when he suddenly heard the sound of intense fighting. Ye Xiwen rushed all the way inside the forest and saw that a fierce Zhen Qi was fluctuating violently, while creating a loud bustling sound. He saw more than a dozen sturdy looking warriors, d in uniforms, who were being led by a noble-looking youth dressed up in splendid Chinese clothes, and all of them were together attacking a ck-clothed woman. Ye Xiwen took a good look at this ck-clothed woman and was totally dumbstruck. She was a beautiful girl who had the appearance of 17 year old. She had a pair of ck curved eyebrows whichplemented her beautiful face and snow white skin which seemed to be made up of jade, a pair of beautiful bright eyes like the ocean itself which could drown anyone into its depths. She was divinely beautiful like a celestial beauty that had descended into the mortal world, a truly unattainable masterpiece! Ye Xiwen had never seen a beauty like her before, even though he possessed the memories from two different worlds. These ten or so sturdy warriors were all at the peak of Houtian ninth stage, but they didn¡¯t seem like the other warriors he had seen before in the Tianyuan city. They were all wearing uniforms and gave the impression of outstanding professionals. The young lord and the ck-clothed woman were constantly fighting and whenever they shed against each other their fierce Zhen Qi would collide and spread in all directions. Unexpectedly, they were both the masters of Xiantian realm. Ye Xiwen immediately concealed his presence and hid behind a tree. The young lord was using all of his strength and his attacks were causing air explosions one after the other. However, the techniques used by the ck-clothed woman were giving a familiar feeling to Ye Xiwen. ¡°Luo Tian, you really are a brave guy. You not only poisoned my food, but you also conspired against me. Are you not afraid of getting punished by our Yi Yuan School?¡± The ck-clothed woman said in a sharp voice. Yi Yuan School! Ye Xiwen was suddenly shocked. So this ck-clothed woman was actually a disciple of Yi Yuan School, but he had never seen her before. Not to mention, it was nearly impossible for the disciples to break through to the Xiantian realm at the Yi Yuan School. Then the only possibility could be that she was a Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciple of the ¡®Main Sect¡¯. ¡°Ha ha ha!¡± The young lord Luo Tianughed and said, ¡°You are under my poison, so it is absolutely impossible to escape from my hands. With you out of the picture, my elder sister will be able to receive ancestor¡¯s full attention. Then our Luo n will have a meteoric rise.¡± ¡°You¡¯re delusional!¡± The ck-clothed woman clenched her teeth and her long sword chopped down. The sword light produced from the long sword instantly enveloped the horizon, which caused a massive air-explosion reducing everything in the vicinity into dust. Several warriors, who were in the range of this attack, were killed in an instant. Even if a Xiantian master was poisoned, his strength would still be far more than the masters at the peak of Houtian ninth stage. ¡°Hua Menghan, stop resisting!¡± Luo Tianughed loudly and rushed forward with a long de in his hand from which the Daoqi was spreading wantonly. (NT: ¡®Daoqi¡¯ means ¡®deqi¡¯) ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± These two Xiantian masters continued to fight a terrible battle. ¡°Young lord, before you kill this girl, allow us brothers to have some fun with her, ha ha, an arrogant woman from Yi Yuan School, none of us have ever enjoyed such a superb little beauty!¡± A warrior, Yin Xiao, said with an obscene look on his face. ¡°Ha ha ha, when my Luo n has a meteoric rise, then you all will get any woman you desire!¡± Luo Tian said with a loud ?ugh. ¡°Die!¡± Hua Menghan clenched her teeth. If only she was not poisoned, then these people were nothing more than ants in front of her strength. Hua Menghan¡¯s long sword struck and a terrible Swordqi shined brightly and rushed towards that obscene warrior like a lightning and instantaneously split him into two halves. That obscene warrior did not even have a chance to scream and was directly split into two halves. Luo Tian, without caring about the warrior, justughed and said: ¡°Fight if you want to, but, the poison spreads even faster whenever you use your Zhen Qi¡± Hua Menghan¡¯s pure white skin had begun to glow with a faint blue color and she didn¡¯t look in good condition. She bit her lips and shouted: ¡°Even if I die, I will not let your conspiracy to seed!¡± Her voice spread out in all directions and her long sword made a strike, the Swordqi spread out with terrifying force and rushed towards the young lord. She had squeezed all of her remaining power in this final attack. Luo Tian also had no other choice but to go all out and he chopped his long de to wee this sword attack. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± This collision had set even the air on fire. ¡°Phew!¡± A shrill piercing sound suddenly came out of nowhere, as ifing from the void itself. A sword shed and directly stabbed into the chest of Luo Tian. ¡°Ah!¡± Luo Tian screamed and copsed on the ground. His face had suddenly turned pale and blood was gushing out of the stab wound nonstop. At this time, on the other side, Hua Menghan¡¯s situation was also getting worse. Her snow white skin hadpletely turned blue which was quite scary to look at. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 42 – Treatment Chapter 42 ¨C Treatment ¡°Kill her!¡± Luo Tian said in a weak voice. Hua Menghan¡¯s long sword had pierced through his heart severing several arteries, and he had no strength left to shout. If he did not get the treatment sooner, then he would surely die. Luo Tian suddenly heard a burst of sharp piercing sound. Ninerge de shadows appeared and obscured the entire sky with white dazzling light. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± . . . . . . Almost instantaneously, most of those warriors of the peak Houtian ninth stage had been ughtered. Luo Tian had not expected such a massive attack from Hua Menghan. He immediately realized that there was someone else behind this attack. ¡°Who dares to make a sneak attack on my subordinates?¡± Luo Tian said angrily. ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± Ye Xiwen strode out from behind a tree carrying a long de in his hand. ¡°Boy, who are you? Don¡¯t you know how powerful our Luo family is? You are courting death!¡± Luo Tian said in a grim voice. ¡°It¡¯s you people who are courting death, not me! You have attacked a disciple from my Yi Yuan School, and it seems that you are really tired of living.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a cold voice. When Hua Menghan came to know that he was actually a disciple of Yi Yuan School, she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°You are going to die! A petty expert like you, who has not even reached the Xiantian realm, dares to meddle with our Luo family? Just you wait and see how I massacre your entire family!¡± Luo Tian mored, ¡°However, it¡¯s not toote yet. Kill Hua Menghan for me and I¡¯ll let you off!¡± Suddenly, Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes shed with killing intent because Luo Tian had actually dared to threaten his family. In this world, he cared the most about his family and he would do anything for their safety. When he hade to this world, his family had given him warmth and the reason to persevere. His family had also encouraged him to break through the shackles of weakness and explore this big-bad- world with courage. ¡°You think you can threaten my family?¡± Ye Xiwen shouted. His de shed and dazzled the sky with brilliant white light, and his long de instantly chopped down. ¡°You dare ...¡± Before Luo Tian could finish the sentence his head had already been severed from his body. He would never have thought that, one day, he would actually die at the hands of a kid who was not even a master of the Xiantian realm. After witnessing the brutal death of their young lord, immediately, all of the remaining warriors had started to escape one after another while shouting loudly. ¡°Do not let them escape!¡± Hua Menghan reminded Ye Xiwen. There was no need to remind him because he had already nned to eradicate all of them. He did not want any future troubles so cutting the root itself was his best option. Although, all of the remaining warriors were at the peak of Houtian ninth stage, but unfortunately, they had met a killing god like Ye Xiwen. Except for the Xiantian masters, he could easily defeat anyone. After seeing that Ye Xiwen had sessfully beheaded all of the warriors, Hua Menghan heaved a sigh of relief and fainted. Ye Xiwen hastily searched for a storage ring on Luo Tian¡¯s body. He found a storage ring but he didn¡¯t examine it now, because at present, Hua Menghan¡¯s safety was his top priority. He ran up to her and looked at her condition. She had been thoroughly poisoned and her condition looked very serious, but Ye Xiwen could not just sit idly and do nothing. After all, they both belonged to the same school and on top of that, she was a girl. He held her in his arms and rushed through the forest. After a while, he found a cave and stopped there. Although, bringing her back to the Yi Yuan School was the best way to save her but looking at her condition, he knew very well that she didn¡¯t have much time left and needed immediate treatment. There was a dim light inside the cave. Ye Xiwen made her to sit on the ground and he affixed his palms on her back and began to send his own Zhen Qi into her body. His Zhen Qi probed inside her body and he came to know that her body was already a mess. This poison was endlessly suppressing her Zhen Qi, which was the reason why she had fallen unconscious. However, this poison was quite amazing because it was capable of suppressing the Zhen Qi of a Xiantian level master. Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi was probing her body and finally encountered the poison. But, with a buzzing sound, his Zhen Qi was directly melted by the poison. Ye Xiwen was totally shocked. Just what kind of poison was this? It could even corrode the Zhen Qi. It was a good thing that Hua Menghan was a Xiantian master, otherwise, it was practically impossible for Houtian realm warriors to persist against this poison for such a long time. However, right now, he didn¡¯t have time to think about all that. He just continued to supply his Zhen QI to help her in suppressing the poison in her body. The ¡¶Bright Jade Power¡· also had a strong inhibitory effect on the poison. However, he was only a master of the Houtian realm. His Houtian realm Zhen Qi was quickly getting exhausted and the recovery rate was far behind the rate of consumption. Not long after, his Zhen Qi had finally depleted. And now, he could only rely on the medicinal pills which he had seized from the storage rings of An Yunpeng and Zhao Qiyan. Since both of them were the sessors to famous schools, the quality of the medicinal pills in their storage rings would definitely be high. Ye Xiwen also did not want to consume too many. He just took a handful and stuffed into his mouth and quickly converted them into Zhen Qi. After that, he continued to supply his Zhen Qi into Hua Menghan¡¯s body. Time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, three days had already passed. Ye Xiwen had not rxed even for a moment for thest three days and had constantly supplied Zhen Qi into her body to heal her and also suppress the poison. By this time, he had already consumed most of the medicinal pills present inside the storage rings. He was a little anxious because the treatment he had performed using his Zhen Qi was only temporary and it was possible for the poison to rpse at any moment. In thest three days, Ye Xiwen had benefited a lot. All this time, he had continued to deplete his Zhen Qi and had consumed an insane amount of medicinal pills to restore it. By repeating this process of depleting and restoring the Zhen Qi countless times, his meridians had actually grown three times thicker than before. However, it was all possible thanks to his insanely strong body. If an ordinary expert had followed this treatment process then his body would have exploded from inside. Thicker meridians implied increased power! Moreover, at this time, Ye Xiwen was directing his own Zhen Qi into Hua Menghan¡¯s body which now contained both Xiantian Zhen Qi and Houtian Zhen Qi to fight side-by-side against the poison. Also, thanks to this treatment process, his understanding of the Xiantian Zhen Qi was also increasing rapidly. After a long period of continuous healing, his understanding of the Xiantian Zhen Qi had increased by leaps and bounds. He had also started to condense his own Houtian Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. However, a lot of Houtian Zhen Qi was required to form just one strand of Xiantian Zhen Qi. It was simply a qualitative change in the Zhen Qi. This was only a temporary treatment because the poison would definitely rpse sooner orter. To save her from this poison, his only option was to bring her back to the Yi Yuan School and ask his father to save her. At this time, Hua Menghan suddenly gained her consciousness and woke up slowly. ¡°You¡¯re awake!¡± Ye Xiwen said in a pleasant tone. Now that she was awake, things had be easier for him. ¡°Where are we?¡± Hua Menghan was so weak that she copsed into his arms and asked in a weak voice. ¡°This is a Cave. I brought you here to treat the poison.¡± She fell into his bosom, a sweet fragrance entered his nose, however, at this moment, Ye Xiwen was not in a mood to have foolish thoughts. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 43 – Changing muscles Shrink--ing bones technique Chapter 43 ¨C ¡¶Changing muscles Shrink--ing bones technique¡· In the past few days, Ye Xiwen had been constantly healing Hua Menghan and now he was mentally very tired. Zhen Qi could relieve the fatigue, but he had lost a considerable amount of Zhen Qi in her treatment. ¡°Thank you!¡± Hua Menghan said in a weak voice. Hua Menghan felt that her clothes had not moved and her body also contained a foreign Zhen Qi which belonged to Ye Xiwen. She soon realized that he must have performed the healing using his own Zhen Qi to suppress the poison inside her body. So he was definitely not a bad person. ¡°Check Luo Tian¡¯s storage ring, there should be an antidote inside it.¡± Hua Menghan said intermittently. ¡°Which one?¡± Ye Xiwen poured a bunch of bottles from Luo Tian¡¯s storage ring. These bottles contained a variety of medicinal pills and their quality was far betterpared to the pills he had found in the storage rings of An Yunpeng and Zhao Qiyan. Hua Menghan finally found the antidote. From her words, Ye Xiwen came to know that this poison was called Qixing Haitang. It was a colorless, odorless and a highly toxic poison. If a warrior of the Houtian realm got poisoned by Qixing Haitang then he would die immediately. Even Xiantian experts would find it difficult to handle such a highly toxic poison which directly attacked the Zhen Qi. If Ye Xiwen had note to her rescue and suppressed the poison using his own Zhen Qi, then she would definitely have died. After taking the antidote, she began the detoxification of poison present in her body. Slowly and gradually, she drove out the poison from her body. Now, herplexion had changed for the better, and her face had slowly gained vitality and looked livelier increasing her beauty even more. Ye Xiwen realized that Hua Menghan was safe now. After so many days of constantly worrying about her safety, now he could finally take a breath of relief. He felt rxed and fell into deep sleep. After a long rest, Ye Xiwen finally woke up only to find that Hua Menghan had already left leaving behind a note for him. The note said that she was extremely grateful to him for saving her, but today, she had something important to care of, so she had to leave first. Later, if he ever needed her help with something, he could keep her jade pendant and look for her in the ¡®Main Sect¡¯. Ye Xiwen picked up the jade pendant. This ornament was icy cold to touch and a phoenix was carved on it. It was a result of fine workmanship and gave out a very vivid feeling. While he was admiring the vividness of this jade pendant, suddenly, he felt that a cold lump had made its way straight into his forehead, and filled his mind with pure brightness. This was definitely a rare treasure! When a person would wear this jade pendant and cultivate then the cultivation would surely be more effective because the wearer would achieve twice the result with half the effort. Also, he would not be afraid of getting the bacsh, caused by cultivation. (NT: corrected and suggested by Yurinnurai) This treasure was far more precious than the inner armor because while cultivating, experts feared the most that they might face a rebound. But, if the person was wearing the jade pendant while cultivating, then he didn¡¯t need to fear the bacsh. This rare treasure was certainly very precious. Of course, Ye Xiwen also knew that it was a kind of repayment from Hua Menghan in exchange for saving her life. Hua Menghan had left, but since she was also a disciple of Yi Yuan School, then sooner orter, there woulde a day when they meet again, certainly! For this term¡¯s core disciplespetition, Ye Xiwen would also have traveled to Yi Yuan School to participate. Sooner orter, they were bound to say goodbye to each other! Ye Xiwen finally looked inside the storage ring of Luo Tian. He was indeed worthy of being a Xiantian master, because,pared to Houtian realm masters like Zhao Qiyan and An Yunpeng, he was filthy rich! Inside Luo Tian¡¯s storage ring, there were no low-grade spirit stones but some other kind of stones. After thoroughly exploring the ring, he was totally speechless, because, these were not low-grade spirit stones, but spirit stones. One spirit stone could be exchanged for one thousand low-grade spirit stones. Since the ring contained five hundred spirit stones, when converted to low-grade spirit stones, the total amount would be a full five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. This figure was absolutely astronomical even for the masters of Xiantian realm. These spirit stones would be very useful to him when he would be a Xiantian master, although, spirit stones could be converted into low-grade spirit stones, but there was a catch! Converting spirit stones into low-grade spirit stones was very easy, but, converting the low-grade spirit stones into spirit stones was difficult. However, Ye Xiwen was not stupid enough to do such a thing. It could be said that he had made a huge fortune this time. In addition to these spirit stones, he also got his hands on many high quality medicinal pills which were capable of restoring the Zhen Qi by a great amount. But the most important of them all was a secret book called ¡¶Changing muscles Shrink--ing bones technique¡· .The biggest use of this power technique was to change a person¡¯s appearance. When one reached the profound realm of this technique then even the size of the bones could be changed to adjust the height. In other words, one could easy change his own appearance into another person. Of course, this change consumed a lot of Zhen Qi, however, once he would break into the Xiantian realm then he would have a huge amount of Zhen Qi. Then, the consumption of Zhen Qi for using this disguise power technique would not be a problem for him. If an expert had not reached the Xiantian realm, then as long one would swallow the medicinal pills on regr intervals, the disguise could be maintained for arge interval of time by using up the Zhen Qi produced from medicinal pills. Of course, it was rare for Houtian realm masters to possess so many medicinal pills and even if they did, they would never waste it on a disguise technique, because, these medicinal pills could save their lives in critical situations. However, for Ye Xiwen, these medicinal pills were dispensable. Although, he had exhausted all of the pills present inside the storage rings of Zhao Qiyan and An Yunpeng, but, Luo Tian¡¯s storage ring contained a lot of high quality medicinal pills. However, right now, Ye Xiwen had no time to spare on practicing ¡¶Changing muscles Shrink--ing bones technique¡· because the core disciplespetition was going to begin in just two days. After more than two hours, Ye Xiwen had finally returned back to Yi Yuan School. Compared to three months ago, the school seemed a lot livelier thanks to the core disciplespetition. Many years ago, all of the core disciples had gone to meet the dragon head, and now, they had finally returned to the school to take part in thepetition. Normally, the inner sect disciples were considered the high-level disciples, but at this time, all of the core disciples hade back and considering their strengths, they could be considered the elites and far more superior to inner sect disciples. When Ye Xiwen entered the school campus, suddenly there were many disciples who recognized him and paid their respects by saluting to him. Ye Xiwen was no longer an unknown weak inner sect disciple. Now, he had gained a new identity of a core disciple! Ye Xiwen had also be the dark horse of Yi Yuan School¡¯s inner sectpetition who had triumphantly won the championship by defeating Dongfang Bai. Ye Xiwen was not a haughty person. Whenever the other disciples would salute to him, he would politely nod to them. He was walking through the campus of Yi Yuan School and was about to go home, but suddenly, he heard an insolent loudughter. ¡°Dongfang Bai, I¡¯ve heard your name! They say you are the notorious genius of Yi Yuan School, but now it seems that it was just an exaggeration!¡± A frivolous young voice said in a loud voice, ¡°It seems that the level of this term¡¯s core disciples is quite low in Yi Yuan School!¡± ¡ª- Chapter 44 – A move to fly Chapter 44 ¨C A move to fly Dongfang Bai? Ye Xiwen quickly pulled up next to a disciple and asked: ¡°What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s up with all thismotion?¡± ¡°Brother Ye! You came back, this is awesome!¡± A disciple, with his age significantly bigger than Ye Xiwen ,said with respect. But there was nothing strange about this, because, in this world, only strong peoplemanded respect regardless of the age. ¡°It is those guys from Zhang family. Today, they sent an elder to discuss with our school about the uing core disciplespetition. The elder hade with a Zhang disciple, called Zhang Yunfei, who is also the champion of this year¡¯s Zhang family¡¯s greatpetition. He challenged our school¡¯s ¡®Great five inner disciples¡¯ and has already defeated the three brothers of the ¡®Great five disciples¡¯ and he is so despicable that he plotted against Brother Dongfang Bai and beat him as well!¡± (NT: ¡®Great five disciples¡¯ consist of four guys and one girl) Ye Xiwen frowned as he knew that this was a deliberate provocation from Zhang family. Zhang family was not the same as Yi Yuan School, because, Yi Yuan School was tolerant to diversity, but Zhang followed the n system. Their great familypetition was very simr to Yi Yuan School¡¯s Inner Weighing, and it also happened every three years. After the championships, the champions from bothpetitions wouldpete with each other putting their respective school¡¯s reputation on the line. But Zhang family was trying to provoke Yi Yuan School before the joint core disciplespetition had even begun. This was like a p on their faces! This was a contest between the younger generations of core disciples. A man with Zhang Yunfei¡¯s abilities didn¡¯t stand a chance against the core disciples and would eventually die a dog¡¯s death, but they could not get rid of him right now, because once he was killed, it would appear as the weakness of Yi Yuan School. He was using this opportunity to mock Yi Yuan School and this plot was set up by the Zhang family. Certainly, the premise was to use Zhang Yunfei to defeat the geniuses of Yi Yuan School. If he was not stopped right now, Yi Yuan School¡¯s reputation wouldpletely be a joke. Countless thoughts instantly shed through his mind. Suddenly his attention shifted towards the za where the crowd was spread out, and in the center of the field, he saw Dongfang Bai holding a long double-edged sword in one hand and blood was constantly flowing down from his other hand. Hisplexion was also pale and somewhat unsightly. While on the other side, there was a young man with contented expression on his face and was flying over the za. He also had a sharp sword in one hand, and was actually a master of the intermediate Houtian eighth stage. No wonder Zhang family had so much confidence in him. He was so young and was still able to reach the intermediate Houtian eighth stage and he also possessed the ¡®Flying escape barrier¡¯. ¡°Despicable, you actually used a hidden poisonous needle to injure Brother Dongfang Bai. How could you do such a thing?¡± ¡°Shameless, are all Zhang people like this man?¡± ¡°Ha ha ha, during a life and death battle, does a man need permission before using his hidden weapons?¡± Zhang Yunfei had a look of disdain, ¡°He very easily let his guard down. I really don¡¯t know how he has survived up until now!¡± ¡°Despicable!¡± ¡°Shameless!¡± Zhang Yunfei¡¯s actions and words immediately outraged several Yi Yuan School disciples. ¡°Doesn¡¯t your Yi Yuan School have a stronger person? I have heard that a champion has popped up in this year¡¯spetition, howe I did not see him? Do not be afraid ande out, ah ha ha ha!¡± Zhang Yunfei gave out an arrogantughter. ¡°Phew!¡± A terrifying Daoqi exploded causing even the sky to tremble and it seemed as if the air had been cut to shreds. In an instant, this seemingly beautiful but deadly Daoqi rushed towards Zhang Yunfei with terrifying speed. (NT: ¡®Daoqi¡¯ means ¡®deqi¡¯) Zhang Yunfei sensed the incredible Daoqiing towards him and he immediately dodged using all of his might. Although he got sessful in evading the de attack but he was already breathing heavily. He didn¡¯t wait to catch his breath and suddenly gave out a thunderous shout: ¡°Who dares to attack me!¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Ye Xiwen said and walked out towards Zhang Yunfei. The crowd immediately bifurcated to make a path for him. ¡°It¡¯s Brother Ye Xiwen!¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯s Brother Ye! He came back on the right time. Let¡¯s see how he crushes this Zhang Yunfei¡¯s arrogance!¡± ¡°How dare you attack me?¡± Zhang Yunfei said furiously. The Daoqi present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack was simply so terrible that if he had not been careful, then he would have been chopped down into two halves by now. ¡°Does a man need permission before using his hidden attack?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered with disdain. Suddenly, all of the disciples of Yi Yuan School burst out in a loudughter which echoed throughout the school campus. It was very clear that Ye Xiwen had thrown Zhang Yunfei¡¯s original words back at his face. Now that his own words had been dumped on his face in public, he had be extremely furious. His face flushed with anger and he shouted: ¡°Who are you!¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°You are Ye Xiwen?¡± Zhang Yunfei¡¯splexion looked unsightly while he was looking at him. He opened his mouth to scold him but he didn¡¯t know what to say, because he had already fallen for his own trap. So how could he use Ye Xiwen? Because, he had used a hidden weapon to injure Dongfang Bai a moment ago so he had no other choice but to not say anything and endure this painful embarrassment! ¡°I see, so you are this year¡¯s champion of School Inner Weighing who unexpectedly disyed incredible power and shocked everyone. You and I, let us exchange pointers!¡± Zhang Yunfei said. ¡°Well, so long as you sessfully receive one move from me, I will turn around and walk away.¡± Ye Xiwen used the celestial step, and his figure flew like a swallow in Zhang Yunfei¡¯s direction. He took out his long de and instantly chopped out a flying rainbow which rushed towards Zhang Yunfei with only one motive, to behead! Ye Xiwen de techniques were quite average when they were practiced by others. However, when he used these de techniques, then the results would always be mind blowing for others. The reason behind this was very simple. It could be said that his de skills had already reached a profound level after constantly practicing for a long time. After all, the foundation of one de skill was also the foundation for other de skills. And these skills would make the de techniques even more profound and powerful. For example, if someone wanted to build tall buildings, then it was necessary toy down a strong foundation for each of them. Martial arts secret books were like blueprints for the foundation of tall buildings. Even if the blueprints were followed properly but the foundation was weak then no matter how many tall buildings were made on this weak foundation, all of them were bound to copse someday. Therefore, regardless of where he was or what he was doing, Ye Xiwen would never forget to practice the foundation of skills. This de skill was a manifestation of the hard work he had been doing by daily practicing the foundation of his skills. A brilliant Daoqi split the air and appeared in front of Zhang Yunfei instantaneously. Zhang Yunfei quickly brandished his long Jianqi. (NT: ¡®Jianqi¡¯ means ¡®Swordqi¡¯) ¡°Boom!¡± A loud explosion urred when Daoqi and Jianqi collided in the air producing a terrible explosive sound. However, Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoqi did not disperse, instead, with an irresistible force it directly shattered Zhang Yunfei¡¯s Jianqi and proceeded towards his long sword. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoqi hit the long sword with incredible pressure. The great strength present in this attack directly hit Zhang Yunfei and blood spilled from all over his body. His body, like a broken kite, flew high, and fell heavily on the ground upside down. Silence! Silence! All of the disciples were looking forward to this fight but none of them would have imagined that an arrogant and domineering Zhang Yunfei would not be able to stop even a single move from Ye Xiwen. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 45 – Condensed Xiantian Zhen Qi Chapter 45 ¨C Condensed Xiantian Zhen Qi ¡°You dared to behave arrogantly in front of me and my Yi Yuan School. I know that Zhang family disciples are all mediocre, so I thought I should teach you a small lesson using my de. You don¡¯t have the qualifications to be arrogant, and the next time you tried to be boastful in front of me then without showing any mercy, I will directly cripple you!¡± Ye Xiwen coldly turned away and left. He had already killed two Zhang younger masters. And Zhang followed a family system so it was obvious that those two young masters held a higher position in the Zhang familypared to Zhang Yunfei. So how could Ye Xiwen tolerate his arrogance? ¡°You ...¡± Zhang Yunfei saw the icy-cold in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes and he immediately got furious from shame and embarrassment while his blood continuously flowed from the corners of his mouth. ¡°I want revenge, I want revenge, I will tear you to shreds, and one day, I will surely take revenge for today!¡± Zhang Yunfei was shouting in his heart, but he did not dare to speak out loud because Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes looked too cold. And if he dared to take any action or even speak a word then Ye Xiwen won¡¯t think twice before beheading him. ¡°Ye Xiwen is getting more and more terrible!¡± ¡°Yes! His single de attack actually sent Zhang Yunfei flying, that¡¯s really terrible!¡± ¡°He was not this terribly powerful in thepetition two months ago!¡± ¡°Two months ago, that Ye Xiwen became radically famous, which was totally unexpected for everyone!¡± Dongfang Bai himself only blood, eyes looking at theplex Ye Xiwen. Others might not know, but he knew very well. If Zhang Yunfei had not used a hidden weapon, he might not have lost to Zhang Yunfei because they were both equally matched in strength. However, Zhang Yunfei had even used his sword and still could not stop one de attack from Ye Xiwen and was also sent flying. It was obvious that Ye Xiwen had gone easy on him causing only shallow cut wounds, otherwise, he would have definitely hacked Zhang Yunfei into pieces by now. In thepetition two months ago, he had given Ye Xiwen a good fight. After thepetition, his progress was not at all slow, because, from the peak of Houtian seventh stage, he had already reached the intermediate level of Houtian eighth stage. However, even if his cultivation speed was fast, his strength was nowhere near Ye Xiwen¡¯s current terrifying strength. How did the gap between them be this wide? Ye Xiwen did not pay attention to the whooping of these disciples, because, he was not in a mood for these discussions. Now, his only goal was to climb the peak of martial arts. Ye Xiwen went home and saw his only sister Ye Ruxue who had finished her closed-door training in just two months time and had already reached the peak of Houtian eighth stage. This rate of progress was simply incredible as she was a year older than Ye Xiwen. Although, geniuses like Dongfang Bai and Zhang Yunfei had also reached the intermediate eighth stage but their ages had already crossed twenty, and in contrast to them, she was only a teenager. During this time, their father Ye Kongming had forced her to start closed-door training, and the result was quite incredible. Her cultivation speed was faster than what Ye Xiwen had expected. ¡°Well done! You actually defeated that Zhang Yunfei in a single de attack!¡± Ye Ruxue said with a bright smile. ¡°That guy was too annoying.¡± Ye Xiwen said with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re absolutely right, that guy is way too arrogant. He dared to mor inside our Yi Yuan School and disrespected us, so it was necessary to get rid of a nuisance like him.¡± Ye Ruxue nodded. In fact, a lot of core disciples were concerned about Zhang Yunfei, but, they could not get rid of him, because that would have started rumors. However, Ye Xiwen had already stopped him so they didn¡¯t need care of this matter anymore. Of course, if Ye Xiwen had failed in stopping him then they would have personallye to teach Zhang Yunfei a lesson, at any rate, stopping Zhang Yunfei from running amuck was necessary. However, Ye Xiwen had defeated Zhang Yunfei in a single strike, and this caused a lot of the core disciples to feel ashamed because Zhang Yunfei had be arrogant thanks to their weakness and ignorance. ¡°But don¡¯t you get too excited, because that Zhang Yunfei guy is nothingpared to his elder brother. He has a brother who is very powerful and is ranked among the top five Zhang core disciples. He has already been a master of Houtian ninth stage for thest two years. This time you have wounded his younger brother so he will not easily let you off.¡± Ye Ruxue said. ¡°Houtian ninth stage?¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°I know you¡¯re stronger now, but Zhang Yunfei¡¯s brother cannot be taken lightly. When hees for you, no matter how much he tries to provoke you into fighting him, do not fight him. Our big brother wille back tomorrow, so let him handle this Zhang Yunfei¡¯s brother.¡± In Ye Ruxue¡¯s eyes, no matter how powerful he had be, he was still her little brother who had just entered the core disciples ranks of Yi Yuan School, however , Zhang Yunfei¡¯s brother was one of the top yers among the Zhang core disciples. Ye Xiwen felt warm in his heart after seeing that Ye Ruxue was worried for him. He smiled and said: ¡°Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion, although he is fierce, but I am also not made up of cotton.¡± When Ye Ruxue saw her littler bother¡¯s confident demeanor, she couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. A few months ago, she had noticed that she could not understand her little brother¡¯s way of thinking. Earlier, her brother, although liked to practice very hard, used to have a very simple thought process, but now, she felt as if she could not see through him at all. But Ye Ruxue realized that this must have happened because her little brother had finally grown up! Ye Xiwen did not know about the change in her perception about him, but for him, these few people were the only ones he loved the most in this world. Before long, Ye Xiwen parents came back and after having dinner, Ye Xiwen as usual went back to his small courtyard to cultivate. He knew very well that he was not a genius and hard work was the only way topensate for theck of talent. (NT: How nostalgic, it reminded me of the fight between Naruto and Neji) Not a moment to rx! While treating Hua Menghan, he had learned a good deal about the Xiantian Zhen Qi. He had also gained some insights about how to condense Houtian Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. These two types of Zhen Qi were not at all simr, because, a significant qualitative change urred whenever Houtian Zhen Qi was condensed into Xiantian Zhen Qi. Also,pared to the Houtian Zhen Qi, the Xiantian Zhen Qi was way too fierce. Usually, if someone wanted to refine Xiantian Zhen QI then the most important first step was to open up the world bridge. The body¡¯s internal cirction would be more vigorous and the refining efficiency would also enhance multiple times. Ye Xiwen, a Houtian realm expert, was trying to condense Xiantian Zhen Qi inside his body, if other people got to know about this, it would shock the entire world, because, no master of the Houtian realm had ever tried to condense Xiantian Zhen Qi. However, Ye Xiwen¡¯s other half of memories belonged to Earth¡¯s knowledge boom era. So, he could never be shackled by the old norms. If he could sessfully condense his Houtian Zhen Qi to Xiantian Zhen Qi, then, he would experience an explosive increase in his strength. Also, he would be capable of handling even two Xiantian masters at the same time. Ye Xiwen concentrated his mind and began to condense his own Zhen Qi into the very first strands of Xiantian Zhen Qi. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 46 – Zhang Yuntian’s challenge Chapter 46 ¨C Zhang Yuntian¡¯s challenge Without following any special method and just relying on natural instincts, he had finally opened the world bridge. Countless Lingqi entered his body and his Houtian Zhen Qi started to condense fasterpared to earlier when the world bridge was not open. Ye Xiwen started to condense Houtian Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi, but, how this refining process could be so simple, after all, Ye Xiwen was not in the Xiantian realm right now. He was only a Houtian realm expert so refining Xiantian Zhen Qi was undoubtedly much more difficult for him. However, even if it was very difficult, Ye Xiwen did not give up. Countless spirit stones started burning and the Lingqi produced started to infuse with his body. He entered the ¡®Special Space¡¯ and started to constantly direct the Zhen Qi towards building up the sea of Qi. The Zhen Qi, which was spread throughout his body, needed to be concentrated at the center of the sea of Qi, and then only it could be condensed into Xiantian Zhen Qi. However, now that he had started to concentrate the Zhen Qi at the centre of the sea of Qi, it felt as if his sea of Qi would explode anytime. He had to go all out topress his Zhen Qi inside the sea of Qi, however, it was very painful. Strand by strand, his Zhen Qi began to condense more and more inside the sea of Qi. Ye Xiwen¡¯splexion suddenly paled with pain which was clearly visible on his face and his body was also covered in cold sweat. This was an extremely painful process! Ye Xiwen was a patient person with a strong willpower and that¡¯s why he could constantly endure the tremendous pain, otherwise, his whole spirit would have copsed by now. Ye Xiwen did not give up, because he had already prepared himself, knowing full well, that this would be a difficult procedure, very difficult, in simple words, many people would have given up in the beginning itself! Ye Xiwen did not know for how long he continued to add his Zhen Qi to the sea of Qi and condensed it unceasingly. He continued this insane procedure nonstop for a long time. After constantly condensing the Zhen in the sea of Qi, finally, his Zhen Qi started to mutate and a trace of majestic Zhen Qi appeared in his Dantian. It was enterely different from Houtian Zhen Qi, and contained terrifying power. Ye Xiwen opened his eyes and smiled with a look of satisfaction on his face. Finally, he had sessfully condensed the very first strands of Xiantian Zhen Qi. This was the hardest first step which he had sessfullypleted. Now, he just needed to continue amassing Xiantian Zhen Qi by condensing his Houtian Zhen Qi one step at a time. He looked outside the window and noticed that it was already dawn. Ye Xiwen dined with his family and when he was returning back to his small courtyard to start his cultivation, suddenly, he heard a loud noiseing from outside. ¡°Ye Xiwen,e out! I, Zhang Yuntian, havee to challenge you!¡± A loud voice thundered from the outside. Ye Xiwen instantly knew that trouble had finally found him. Zhang family would not let him off so easily, after all, he had defeated their champion in just one move, and this had caused them to lose face. So, their only option was to eradicate the root cause. Ye Xiwen went out, and was very surprised to find Zhang Yunfei outside his courtyard. He was perniciously looking at him, although, his face was somewhat pale because of yesterday¡¯s injuries that had not healedpletely. Right in front of Zhang Yunfei stood a young man! He seemed to be in his twenties, hadrge muscr body and looked quite handsome. He was the elder brother of Zhang Yunfei, named Zhang Yuntian. However, from behind, a lot of Yi Yuan School disciples had alsoe. When they hade to know that Zhang Yuntian, a famous expert from Zhang family had actuallye to challenge Ye Xiwen, the famous champion of their Yi Yuan School, then it had suddenly aroused the curiosity of many disciples and they had immediately rushed towards Ye Xiwen¡¯s small courtyard. Ye Xiwen came out of his courtyard with a hint of ridicule on his face and said: ¡°What¡¯s wrong, looking for your father?¡± ¡°Ha ha ha!¡± Suddenly the crowd of the Yi Yuan School disciples gave out a loudughter. The news about the yesterday¡¯s fight had already spread like a forest fire inside the Yi Yuan School, so, they certainly knew what Ye Xiwen actually meant. However, Zhang Yunfei¡¯s face had flushed with anger and his Zhen Qi had started to leak out from his body. He looked more perniciously at Ye Xiwen, as if trying to rip him apart using just his sight. ¡°Less rubbish, today I will teach you a lesson!¡± Zhang Yuntian said impatiently, ¡°I will break your legs and let you know what fierceness actually is.¡± Then, suddenly, Zhang Yuntian moved and his figure leaped. His sword struck and a fierce Jianqi exploded in the air with huge explosive power. The strength ofte Houtian ninth stagepletely broke out. Everyone around was stunned because his sword was extremely fast, as fast as a meteor, in simple words, it had already approached the acme. Being ranked among the top five Zhang core disciples was not just for show. With this move, almost in a moment, Zhang Yuntian had immediately arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. Almost in a sh, no one could see it clearly, but Ye Xiwen had drawn out a long de from the sheath on his back and a bright de light shed brilliantly and obscured the sky. This gorgeous de light formed a curtain made up of many des in the midair. The curtain of des, in an instant, arrived in front of Zhang Yuntian. ¡°Dang!¡± A loud metal nging sound spread and Zhang Yuntian immediately sensed that a threatening massive strength was being transmitted from his sword. He could not withstand the power present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s de curtain attack, and immediately, he had been pushed back by eight steps before stopping. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength of ny-nine Tigers was definitely not a joke. ¡°Ha ha ha ha!¡± Seeing that Ye Xiwen had easily blocked Zhang Yuntian¡¯s attack with just one swing of his de, Yi Yuan School disciples suddenlyughed out even more loudly than before. At this time, Zhang Yuntian¡¯s face also revealed a troubled expression. Zhang Yuntian gave out a loud roar, and it seemed that he was preparing to attack again. The tip of his sword danced and many Jianhua appeared in the sky and went towards Ye Xiwen to strike together at once. (NT: ¡®Jianhua¡¯ means ¡®Sword flower¡¯) Ye Xiwen sneered and his long de chopped out. With the speed of lightning, his long de chopped down while cutting through the air and directly destroyed all those Jianhua. ¡°Boom!¡± A loud explosion urred apanied by a burst of metal shing sound. Layer afteryer of terrible Zhen Qi had instantly sted off in the surrounding area. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de was fast like a meteor which instantly arrived in front of Zhang Yuntian and chopped out. Zhang Yuntian was suddenly taken aback. He lifted his sword to resist, however, Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de had already fiercely crashed into his sword and cracks had started to appear on its surface. Ye Xiwen¡®s sharp deqi was also stinging on his cheeks. Ye Xiwen did not stop here and again chopped down his long de. The current strength present in his de had almost increased by more than half of what it used to be. Two des! Three des! Four des! As Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had increased several times, when his fourth de chopped down, the total power present in the attack had also increased several times. ¡°Bang!¡± Zhang Yuntian¡¯s long double-edged sword snapped and Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de had alreadye in front of him in a sh. However, Ye Xiwen used the t surface of his de and advanced towards Zhang Yuntian to p on his face. ¡°Bang!¡± The t surface of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de maliciously pped on the face of Zhang Yuntian and his body immediately flew off. His teeth had been smashed and he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 47 – Repercussions Chapter 47 ¨C Repercussions Famous Zhang Yuntian had been sent flying by Ye Xiwen¡¯s de, this result was simply very shocking, and especially for those Zhang junior disciples who had alsoe to see this fight. They simply couldn¡¯t ept that Zhang Yuntian, who was like a deity in their eyes, had been unable to block even a single de attack from Ye Xiwen. ¡°Brother!¡± Zhang Yunfei was the first to react and ran up to his brother who was lying on the ground. Ye Xiwen looked coldly at Zhang Yunfei and said: ¡°He is not dead, so quickly take him away from here. Our Yi Yuan School is not a ce where you Zhang people can just walk in and boast about yourself. The next time you try to be provocative, it won¡¯t be settled this easily.¡± ¡°Go back!¡± ¡°Hurry up and get out of here, do you want to die Zhang bastards?¡± ¡°Get lost! Otherwise, we can be very rude!¡± Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciples were booing nonstop. Yi Yuan School and Zhang family had not been hostile towards each other for a period of mere one or two years. It was a long lived enmity and disciples of both the schools were used to hating each other, however, both parties had simr strengths and therefore the end result was always a draw. This rivalry had continued for a long time and would continue in the future as well. However, Zhang Yunfei and his elder brother, Zhang Yuntian, had dared to provoke Yi Yuan School and both of them had suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of Ye Xiwen, who was this year¡¯s champion of Yi Yuan School. So, this would obviously cause the Zhang family to lose face. Everyone could see that if it was not for Ye Xiwen being merciful, Zhang Yuntian would have been torn to shreds by now. The news about the fight between Ye Xiwen and Zhang Yuntian and the subsequent defeat of Zhang Yuntian had soon spread throughout the Yi Yuan School. Initially, many people did not trust the news, because, Ye Xiwen was only an inner sect disciple who had won this year¡¯s championship. Although he had shown outstanding strength and had run amuck in thepetition, but, he was still a rookie core disciple. There was a possibility that he might have defeated Zhang Yunfei, because he was also the champion of this year¡¯spetition at Zhang family and could be said on the same level as Ye Xiwen. But, who was Zhang Yuntian? Even among the Zhang core disciples, he was considered among the top five . So how could Ye Xiwen defeat such a powerful genius! This was a mystery for anyone who had not seen this fight with their own eyes. But this fight had many witnesses and they quickly spread the news. And when this news had been confirmed by many credible sources, everyone had to admit that Ye Xiwen had truly and wlessly defeated Zhang Yuntian. Ye Xiwen had finally gained a true fame in Yi Yuan School. Although, he had won thepetition then became a champion, but, after getting promoted to the ranks of core disciples, his reputation as a champion didn¡¯t hold much importance in the core sect. For inner sect and outer sect disciples, a champion¡¯s existence was truly glorious, however, in the core sect, being a champion was not a big deal. After all, the core sect consisted of the crowd from previous years geniuses, which also included a lot of previous champions. However, Ye Xiwen¡¯s wless victory over Zhang Yuntian actually caused his reputation to rise exponentially. Now, his reputation inside the Yi Yuan School was on par with that of the famous geniuses from core sect. In the depths of Yi Yuan School, ancestor¡¯s pce hall was located. There, Ye Kongming was sitting on the ground and was somewhat frowning. In the seat above, there was a middle-aged man d in purple robe, who seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man. However, all the people from Yi Yuan School would know that this middle-aged man was actually the Yi Yuan School¡¯s ancestor called Lin Zhantian. Hiding in the shadows, he held the ultimate power of Yi Yuan School¡¯s ancestor. ¡°Ye Kongming, I did not expect that Ye Xiwen will be so outstanding. Thest time I saw him two years ago, he was just an average disciple, but, who would have thought that in such a short interval of time, he would change so much!¡± Lin Zhantian said with a sigh. ¡°His current strength is sufficient enough to put him among the top ten core disciples.¡± ¡°This is not surprising. After all, he is that person¡¯s child!¡± Ye Kongming said with an indifferent look on his face, as if it was something he had always expected. When Ye Kongming mentioned that person, Lin Zhantian didn¡¯t say anything, he paused for a bit then continued: ¡°I finally broke through, and soon, I will head back to ¡®Main Sect ¡®, but here at Qingfeng Mountain side, I rmend you to be the next ancestor!¡± ¡°You already know that I¡¯m not interested!¡± Ye Kongming said. ¡°I know that you are not interested, however, this is the ce where we all grew up, and I won¡¯t be at ease, if I were to hand it over to someone else!¡± Lin Zhantian said. ¡°Can I refuse?¡± Ye Kongming said in an indifferent manner. ¡°You can¡¯t!¡± Lin Zhantian said. Like this, the two men continued to talk. ¡ª- ¡°Ah, you brat, I had not expected that you would even defeat that Zhang Yuntian, ha ha, now he won¡¯t be able to show his face in public.¡± Ye Ruxueughed and said. ¡°Fortunately!¡± Ye Xiwen said ¡°I¡¯m back!¡± The door opened and Ye Feng entered whileughing heartily, ¡°Little brother, I heard about your fight with Zhang Yuntian, ha ha, you actually beat the shit out of him and he couldn¡¯t even retaliate.¡± A tall and sturdy looking Ye Feng strode in! He was full of vigor and was d in extravagant clothes. Just now, he had returned from the back side of Qingfeng Mountain where he was cultivating. ¡°This really helped me in venting my anger.¡± Ye Feng ?ughed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, do you have some old grudge with Zhang Yuntian?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. Ye Feng smiled coldly and said: ¡°Yes, we had fought in the Qingfeng Mountain forest once. At that time, I had just been promoted to the ranks of core disciples. When I found a very precious medicinal herb, that bastard sneak attacked me and I almost died under his hidden weapon attack! ¡° Then his terrible Zhen Qi started to leak out involuntarily. Right now, he was already at the peak of Houtian ninth stage and was only one step away from breaking through to the Xiantian realm. Ye Feng had stayed at the peak of Houtian eighth stage for several years, but, for the sake of core disciplespetition this time and then to enter the ¡®Main Sect¡¯, the umted cultivation of all those years released at once. This is why he was able to reach the peak of Houtian ninth stage in such a short amount of time. This kind of practice was to consolidate the cultivation state and toy a very deep foundation in order to prepare for breaking through to the Xiantian realm. Thanks to this special cultivation style, Ye Feng had be much stronger than the other masters of peak Houtian ninth stage. ¡°I was nning to teach that bastard a lesson in the uing core disciplespetition, but, little brother, you have already avenged me and it really saves me a lot of trouble!¡± Ye Feng did not need to pay attention to Zhang Yuntian because, now, his strength was far above Zhang Yuntian. ¡°Gee, big brother, you haven¡¯t seen how third brother taught him a good lesson!¡± Ye Ruxue said while smiling. ¡°Speaking of little brother, you ought to practice and quickly catch up with the younger, and quickly reach the Houtian ninth stage, because then only you will be able to enter the ¡®head school¡¯.¡± Ye Feng said and scowled. ¡°I know!¡± Ye Ruxue was a happy go lucky type person and she knew how to handle her strict brother. However, her mind was never fully focused on practicing. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Correction: In chapter 41, while tranting, i got confused and mistranted the above mentioned term. However, thanks to ¡®shipereck¡¯ , i finally sorted out that confusion. The correction is: Hua Menghan was a disciple of Yi Yuan School¡¯s ¡®Main Sect¡¯) Chapter 48 – Core disciples competition begins Chapter 48 ¨C Core disciplespetition begins Yi Yuan School ¡®Main Sect¡¯ allowed entry to the masters of Houtian seventh stage or above, however, in ordance with the standards of Yi Yuan School, only Houtian ninth stage disciples could enter the outer sect and only Xiantian level disciples could enter the inner sect. As for the disciples with the cultivation below Houtian ninth stage, they were treated as part-time disciples. They were basically like the ve disciples and their status was very low in the Yi Yuan School. Although the position of outer sect disciples was also rtively low within the Yi Yuan School, however, they just needed to do a series of chores and for that, they could receive some resources for cultivation. They would also get an opportunity to attend lectures about cultivation and techniques. In Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School, most disciples would choose to work under the Yi Yuan School after they had broken through the Houtian ninth stage. Well, no one was stupid enough to leave their own domain where they had lived and cultivated for all this time. ¡°Come with me, I¡¯ll introduce you to the several fellow top disciples.¡± Ye Feng said. Ye Feng wanted Ye Xiwen to make contacts with the top yers among the core disciples, because, at his current strength and fame, Ye Xiwen could be ranked among the top core disciples. This term¡¯s core disciples only had three top disciples who were widely renowned in the Yi Yuan School. They were Zhang Yang, Qian Wanru and Wu Hao. The strongest among them was Zhang Yang, with his strength simr to Ye Feng, who was also a master of peak Houtian ninth stage. He was a tall and study looking young man. Qian Wanru was a beautiful woman with a colorful flower-like appearance, although, her cultivation was only at thete Houtian ninth stage. Wu Hao was a tall slim young man. His cultivation was the same as Qian Wanru, thete Houtian ninth stage. Including Ye Feng, there were only four top core disciples in Yi Yuan School. Other core disciples were not strong enough to be considered among the top. However, the Zhang family already had five famous disciples and in addition to that, this year, two more disciples had also reached thete Houtian ninth stage and had entered into the ranks of top disciples. For the core disciplespetition, Zhang family had an overwhelming numerical advantage. And thanks to this, Zhang family was nning to snatch all of the Blood Yuan fruits for themselves by overwhelming the Yi Yuan School. However, Yi Yuan School, including Ye Xiwen, had only five, which was far from enough. The good thing about being a top core disciple was that one could enjoy many resources provided by the School. Now, Ye Xiwen had also joined this small group of geniuses, and all of them carried the hopes of Yi Yuan School. Yi Yuan School was nning to rely on this small group to beat the Zhang family geniuses in the uingpetition at the Blood Yuan Territory. Day after day, time passed by. In this duration, Ye Xiwen also got used to his new status of one of the top core disciples and finally, the day of the beginning of Core disciplespetition had arrived. On this day, the core disciples had been called to the top of the square. This was a broad za and inparison to its huge size, a group of mere hundred core disciples looked too small and insignificant. Ye Xiwen and others did not have to wait for too long, and soon, two elders appeared in front of them. One of these elders was fat and the other was thin. When the core disciples saw the two of them, they immediately knew who they were. Ye Xiwen also knew that they were the well-known fat and thin elders of Yi Yuan School. Because the fat and thin attributes of these two elders were too obvious, and in addition to that, these two had always apanied each other from the time they had be the elders of this school. In fact, over time, many people had even forgotten their real names, and would directly call them fat and thin elders. ¡°This time¡¯s squad for the core disciplespetition is again a lineup of losers!¡± The fat elder said in a straightforward manner. ¡°I won¡¯t talk about the rest of the crap. Let¡¯se to the point.¡± The fat elder¡¯s face looked serious and he said in a cold voice, ¡°The ce where thepetition is going to take ce is called Blood Yuan Territory. I think you already know where it is located! Countless people from our Yi Yuan School have died there. I just hope that many of you wille back alive, so, I ask again, whoever wants to quit, quit now! ¡° After hearing the words of fat elder, more than forty core disciples opted-out. However, no one made fun of them, after all this was going to be a trip to the hell. Inside the Blood Yuan Territory, although, the benefits were many, and if one could survive there then he would definitely reap a lot of benefits. But, the reality was much crueler than they had expected because many experts had died inside the Blood Yuan Territory earlier, including some Xiantian masters as well. The core disciples who opted out were mostly the masters of Houtian eighth stage and their strength was obviously poorpared to other masters of Houtian ninth stage. There could never expect to get good grades, and there was also a chance of getting killed. So, their only option was to give up now when they still had a chance. In this session, the newly promoted core disciples were only Ye Xiwen and Dongfang Bai. Ye Xiwen noticed that Dongfang Bai seemed to be looking forward to thispetition and was also full of energy. From the looks of it, it was obvious that the injury he had received from Zhang Yunfei¡¯s hidden poison needle had already healed. ¡°Each of you participants will receive a Yaopai which will record points for you through thepetition. Killing a demon beast of eighth stage will reward 10 points, a ninth stage demon beast will reward 50 points, and a Xiantian level demon beast will reward 1000 points. Also, we have also kept 15 tokens in the Blood Yuan Territory which can be of three different colors; red, yellow and green, each corresponding to a score of 100, 500 and 1000!¡± At this time, the thin elder further exined, ¡°Also, whatever treasures you find there will be converted into points and only the top three disciples, ranked ording to their total points, will receive the Blood Yuan fruit as a reward!¡± (NT: ¡®Yaopai¡¯ is basically the te which will record points) The news immediately shocked the core disciples. Blood Yuan fruit would be given as reward? They did not know that this was the result of an agreement between the two forces, however, Ye Xiwen knew about this in advance and was rtively calm. But, this was the Blood Yuan fruit! Even the Xiantian realm masters would consider it a top ss treasure and could have a breakthrough if consumed. Everyone started to pity the disciples who had already opted out! ¡°But, if you were defeated, or killed, then the score will correspond to a total of that person¡¯s umted points and will be instantly transferred to the one who defeated you, so you must be very careful! I hope that some of you wille back alive.¡± The fat elder said with a sigh because even he didn¡¯t know how many would die in the Blood Yuan Territory, but if they survived through this, then they would undoubtedly be an outstanding expert. Ye Xiwen was speechless! The rule actually . . . encouraged killing each other. There were a lot of scoring methods, like, one could kill the demon beasts, or, one could collect treasure items to score points, however, none of these were quicker than killing someone and obtaining his umted points. No matter how much points a person had earned, it could all be transferred to his killer in an instant. The world of core disciples was really a cruel one, filled with brutality and killing. Compared to core sect disciples, the lives of the inner sect and outer sect disciples were much easier, although, they couldn¡¯t obtain many resources to practice, but they were rtively well protected. ¡ª- (NT: Also, today is a Grand Release day so stay tuned for the next three chapters) Chapter 49 – Agility skill test Chapter 49 ¨C Agility skill test The core disciples looked calm and collected, especially those several top disciples. It was obvious that they had already prepared themselves for theingpetition. This time, the core disciplespetition at Blood Yuan Territory would not be simple. It was a small territory filled with demon beasts and they also needed to be wary of the Zhang disciples, and especially their top core disciples, because handling them would not be easy even for the top core disciples of Yi Yuan School. However, if thispetition was not difficult or life threatening then why would they give three Blood Yuan fruits as the reward. Blood Yuan fruit was something even the experts of Xiantian realm dreamt of! Then, the two elders led Yi Yuan School¡¯s core disciples and headed towards the backside of Qingfeng Mountain. Since everyone had practiced agility type martial arts, all of them were very fast, and only after about half an hour had passed, they entered the depths of Qingfeng Mountain. The two elders unleashed a terrible aura that surrounded the squad of core disciples and because of that, the demon beasts did not dare to approach them. This allowed them to smoothly travel to precipitous mountain peak. They were surprised to find that this mountain peak was so high, that it seemed as if it was reaching the ends of the sky, and there was also an abnormal steep mountainside which waspletely submerged in the sea of ??clouds. At the foot of that mountain, there were small steps which could amodate more than one person at the same time. The steps were circling around like a mountain road, going all the way to the summit. In a while, the people of Zhang family also came, led by two Zhang elders. One was tall and other was short with their faces looked cold and skinny. This contrast they made with the fat and slim elders of Yi Yuan School was quite hrious. However, none of these elders was someone one couldugh at. Behind the two elders, there was a group of dozens of Zhang¡¯s elite disciples, led by seven young people. Just from looking at them, one could say that they were all very arrogant and possessed a very imposing aura. From the whispers of the Yi Yuan School¡¯ disciples, Ye Xiwen finally got to know that these seven young men were actually this term¡¯s top yers of Zhang core disciples. The strongest of them were Zhang Jingxin, Zhang Wu and Zhang Yuelian. All of them were at the peak of Houtian ninth stage and were only a step away from entering the Xiantian realm. While the remaining four top disciples were Zhang Yuntian, Zhang Wenxiao, Zhang Ziqiu and Zhang Guoqi who were at thete Houtian ninth stage. Their imposing aura hadpletely overwhelmed the Yi Yuan School¡¯s core disciples. Yi Yuan School¡¯s top yers, who had be quite famous this year, were only three. Ye Feng had joinedter and Ye Xiwen had suddenly popped out recently. However, even after adding both Ye Feng and Ye Xiwen, numerically, Yi Yuan School was still at a disadvantage. (NT: Ye Feng initially was only at the peak of Houtian eighth stage, and so, he was not counted among the top core disciples) Yi Yuan School¡¯s core disciples looked at the top disciples of Zhang family and Zhang core disciples also looked at Yi Yuan School¡¯s top disciples. Everyone was aware of the fact that the result of thispetition wouldpletely depend on these top 12 yers. Ye Xiwen soon felt a stare from two pairs of pernicious eyes, looking at him with pure killing intent. He immediately retraced the stares with his own stare and saw Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Yuntian. ¡°Now that they¡¯ve also arrived, let¡¯s get started!¡± The fat elder said. It seemed that the four elders of Xiantian had a previous agreement. They quickly jumped up and suddenly, their figures rushed towards the mountain road and disappeared in front of everyone In a sh, the four Xiantian level elders had disappeared. Several top disciples from both schools didn¡¯t wait even for a moment and jumped out immediately, following after the elders. With their figures like the lightning sh, they had instantly skimmed on the mountain road. Seeing that these talented disciples had already skimmed out without wasting any time, quickly, other core disciples also followed up, but unfortunately, they were already far behind in this race which had ironically just begun. The race had quickly turned into a stampede of disciples due to sudden disappearance of elders and top disciples. In this crowd, the four elders of Xiantian level were the fastest, and almost like a lightning, they had disappeared on the mountain road. Next were the Ye Feng and other top disciples of Yi Yuan School and Zhang family which together made the first group. Right behind the first group was the group which mainly consisted of 30 Houtian ninth stage disciples, although they were not the top yers, but, they had certainly reached the Houtian ninth stage so their speeds were slightly lower than the top disciples. Next was the group of Houtian eighth stage disciples, but, there was a whole one stage gap between them the group of Houtian ninth stage so their speeds were much lower inparison. When everyone had already left, Ye Xiwen finally started and leapt towards the mountain road. Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure was as fast as the lightning. He immediately unleashed the ¡°Celestial Step¡±, and within two or three breaths, his feet had already embarked on the road. Ye Xiwen¡¯s appearance looked elegant and unrestrained, as if he was taking a stroll. His figure flicked on above the mountain road and with each sh, it would emerge ten meters ahead, which clearly disyed his astonishing speed. ¡°Celestial Step¡± was a superior agility type technique and its applications were totally iparable. It was much more elegant and unconventionalpared to other agility type techniques. It seemed as if a celestial being was strolling at an astonishing speed. Within a few minutes, Ye Xiwen had already caught up with thest bunch of disciples in the race, who were far ahead of him initially. The bunch consisted of Houtian eighth stage disciples from Zhang family. Most of these disciples did not know agility type martial arts. Even if some of them did know, their agility type martial arts were nothingpared to the Xiantian level ¡®Celestial Step¡¯. Also, Ye Xiwen had practiced it to a ¡®Dacheng¡¯ level in ¡®Special Space¡¯. Almost in a sh, relying on the incredible speed of ¡°Celestial Step¡±, Ye Xiwen overtook those disciples. They could not even react because all they saw was a shadow that flew over them for an instant, then disappeared! Now, Ye Xiwen also understood that all of this was to test the agility skill of each and every individual. Generally, if understanding of the agility skill was profound, then one could achieve greater speeds and then, this race would be a child¡¯s y. ¡°Holy crap! Who is this person?¡± The Zhang disciples could only see Ye Xiwen¡¯s back from very far and did not recognize who he was. In a sh, Ye Xiwen had disappeared in front of them. Seeing that Ye Xiwen had so effortlessly overtaken them in the race, those Zhang disciples felt depressed. Because, no matter how much they tried, they still couldn¡¯t catch up with Ye Xiwen and this had caused even the glorious masters of Houtian eighth stage to get depressed. They held high status in Zhang family as the eighth stage core disciples, but right now, almost all of these Zhang super experts were depressed. But they were not the only ones who were depressed. When Ye Xiwen started using the full extent of ¡®Celestial Step¡¯ and adding his own monstrous strength, he got insanely faster! His figure simply turned into a blur and he rushed up the mountain path leaving many of the Yi Yuan School and Zhang family disciples behind. They could only give dumbfounded looks to the blurred figure of Ye Xiwen, who, in a sh, had disappeared from their eyes. Except for secretly getting envious and angry, they could not do anything and their only option was to keep on running. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 50 – It’s actually him? Chapter 50 ¨C It¡¯s actually him? Ye Xiwen¡¯s speed was extremely fast and his maneuvers looked so elegant, it seemed as if a celestial being was taking a stroll through the mountains. He had already overtaken the third and fourth groups of Houtian eighth stage disciples. And his speed was getting more and more fast, and in a moment, the second group came into his field of view. This group consisted of Houtian ninth stage disciples. Those disciples in the second group, who were running with all their might, trying to catch up with the first group, suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps from behind. When they turned to look, they were surprised to find that Ye Xiwen was catching up with them at an astonishing speed. But, before they could get some time toprehend what was happening, Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure quickly shuttled across them at an insane speed. The crowd had a stunned look on their faces as they saw Ye Xiwen¡¯s blurred figure slowly disappear right in front of their eyes. There was no doubt that these people were elite among the elites and their agility skill techniques were also practiced to a higher level. Most of them had practiced their agility techniques up to the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm. However, in the face of the mind boggling speed disyed by Ye Xiwen, it seemed as if they had not moved at all. They simply couldn¡¯t react and before they could, Ye Xiwen had already overtaken the second group and hadpletely disappeared from their sights. After that, Ye Xiwen began to chase after the first group, unhurried, while disying a rhythmic elegant motion. Although it was very obvious that this was a test of agility skills, but there were no scores involved in this test. So basically, there was no need to be impatient! At this time has, Ye Xiwen had run up to the middle of the mountainside which was wrapped entirely by a dense fog and clouds. The visibility was so less that even the eyesight of a skilled martial arts practitioner like Ye Xiwen was limited only to a distance of ten meters. And, once someone got careless, they would definitely fall down, meeting a cruel death. Also, even if it was a master of the Houtian ninth stage, the chances of his survival would be zero. Most people would choose to slow down in such a life threatening situation, but, Ye Xiwen was not afraid of it. Although, ¡®Celestial Step¡¯ was an agility technique and it also increased the speed of the practitioner dramatically! But, it was best suited for small-scale maneuvers like this. Also, Ye Xiwen had practiced ¡°Celestial Step¡± to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm,. So, how could he possibly fall down? After a few jumps, he reached the corner of the mountain and from there, he directly jumped and drilled through the dense fog-shrouded mountainside area. At this time, the first group was already faintly visible from the back, and the one running on the very back of this group was surprisingly Zhang Yuntian, who had challenged Ye Xiwen and lost pathetically. Then the next were Yi Yuan School¡¯s Qian Wanru, Wu Hao and Zhang family¡¯s Zhang Wenxiao, Zhang Ziqiu and Zhang Guoqi, all in a sequence. They were all keeping their paces without slowing down or going faster. However, Zhang Yuntian had fallen behind them and his movements were also not smooth. It was obvious that this was the impact of the injuries he had got in his fight with Ye Xiwen. Zhang Yuntian heard footsteps from behind and felt a little strange. He turned his head to look but what he saw made himpletely shocked: ¡°It¡¯s actually you, Ye Xiwen!¡± Before, he had been paying attention to Ye Xiwen, but, just after the start of race, he had discovered that Ye Xiwen had been left far behind and had simply disappeared. He did not care, although he had personal hatred for Ye Xiwen, but right now, he just wanted to concentrate on the race. Being one of the top core disciples from Zhang family, he had a status to maintain. Also, Ye Xiwen was now one of the top disciples from Yi Yuan School and he didn¡¯t want to cause problems right from the beginning of the exam. But he would never have thought that Ye Xiwen would actually catch up with the first group. ¡®How could he be so fast?¡¯ When Ye Xiwen came closer, Zhang Yuntian took a closer look at his elegant maneuvers and his heart was suddenly taken aback. He always thought that the most impressive skill that Ye Xiwen possessed was his de skill. From his perspective, Ye Xiwen¡¯s de skill was urate, decisive, extremely gorgeous, and it could be said that Ye Xiwen was the best de user in the younger generation of both the schools. But, he had not expected that Ye Xiwen¡¯s agility skill would also be so terrifying. He knew that his own agility was an intermediate level technique which he had practiced to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ level. And Ye Xiwen was not even a Houtian ninth stage master so how could he possess such an astonishing speed. By now, he had realized that his own speed was nowhere close to Ye Xiwen¡¯s speed, and not just that, Ye Xiwen¡¯s agility skill was also superior to his own agility skill. However, he knew very well that no matter how superior an agility skill actually was, it was still necessary for the practitioner to practice it to a very profound level in order to attain this level of astonishing speed. While his mind was in a confused state, Ye Xiwen had already caught up with him. In a sh, he had already reached the front part of the first group. By this time, they all had been close to the top of the hill and Ye Xiwen was finally able to see the figure of those several top disciples and running in the first ce was unexpectedly his elder brother, Ye Feng. Ye Feng was leading the race, and it seemed as if he was flying up the mountain using his extraordinary agility skills, followed by the two disciples of Zhang family, Zhang Jingxin and Zhang Wu. Right behind them was another disciple from Yi Yuan School, Zhang Yang, and finally at thest ce was a disciple of Zhang family, Zhang Yuelian. Ye Feng suddenly rushed half a step and became the first person to reach the summit. Four elders were standing at the summit, waiting for the arrival of disciples and from their faces, it could be seen that they themselves were very curious to find out about the winner of this race. Seeing that the first one to arrive was Ye Feng, both fat and thin elders had a smile on their faces. Apparently, they were quite satisfied with this oue. However, the faces of the two Zhang elders had a slightly sunken look. Only a single step behind Ye Feng, the second person to arrive was Zhang Jingxin who had only missed Ye Fang by half a body distance. Simrly, Zhang Wu also reached the summit falling behind Zhang Jingxin by half a body distance and Zhang Yang got the fourth ce. (NT: Zhang Yang is actually a top disciple from Yi Yuan School, so 1st and 4th ranks belonged to Yi Yuan School now) And with this, Yi Yuan School¡¯s fame had also reached the summit. From the first group of top disciples, only Zhang Yuelian did note in. He was about to reach the summit with few other disciples behind him, but suddenly, a figure like a lightning, instantly overtook Zhang Yuelian and reached the summit. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± ¡°Third Brother, you are awesome!¡± . . . . . . This person was actually Ye Xiwen, and this had caused a lot of people to call out in rm! It was not because they had not noted him. It was because they had paid attention to him from the very beginning. After he had defeated Zhang Yuntian, they had all got wary of his existence and had alsobeled him as a strong enemy. When the race had started, Ye Xiwen had fallen behind and was literally thest person in the race. If he had started running at the same time as others, then his rank would definitely not be fifth. Especially, theplexion of the Zhang disciples was somewhat unsightly. They all knew that if Ye Xiwen had not dawdled in the beginning of the race, then going by his astonishing speed and agility skill, he would definitely have scored a first or second rank in this race and then first two ranks might have gone to the Yi Yuan School. However, no one continued to think this race matter for too long, because, their main motive was not a race, but, thepetition at Blood Yuan Territory. Immediately, everyone began to meditating to restore the Zhen Qi that had been consumed while running all the way up to the summit. ¡ª¡ª (NT: Please point out any mistakes if & when you find out . I was half-asleep while editing this chapter. Your corrections will help the readers in the future) Chapter 51 – Blood Yuan Territory Chapter 51 ¨C Blood Yuan Territory All of the disciples had exhausted their Zhen Qi while dashing all the way up to the summit in one go, however, Ye Xiwen face didn¡¯t seem fatigued at all. Because the Zhen Qi present in his body was way more vigorous than the masters of the peak Houtian seventh stage, and the reason for that was the widening of the meridians in his body. Although, arge amount of his Zhen Qi had been consumed, but this consumption was still far from the point where he would feel exhausted. After Ye Xiwen¡¯s arrival, awhileter, other disciples had also arrived one by one. All of the disciples had arrived and were resting in order to recover the exhausted Zhen Qi. When everyone was ready, the elders announced that they were going to open the Blood Yuan Territory. Four elders together summoned a sophisticated sealing method. This was something everyone was waiting for. With a ¡°bang¡±, the side of the cliff started to move just like a gate, which slowly opened and a dazzling light came from behind the gate. No one could clearly see anything behind the gate. But, Ye Xiwen knew that there was a small world behind this cliff, and this little world was connected to the main world through a constantly changing chaotic space. ¡°Good, Blood Yuan Territory has been opened! Everyone, quickly go in, but you must remember that you have only a month¡¯s time, and within this one month¡¯s period, you must go to the Fengye Mountain ,which is located in the central regions of Blood Yuan Territory, and then you muste back as well. If you got lost and couldn¡¯te out in the allotted one month¡¯s time, then in that case, the next opening time is ten yearster. I hope everyone will keep this in mind!¡± The fat elder exined. More than two hundred young experts immediately jumped off and flew into the gate. Ye Xiwen¡¯s movements were definitely not slow and he shuttled into the gate. He crossed through the distorted chaotic space and finally appeared inside the Blood Yuan Territory and suddenly, he felt a divine Lingqi blowing on his face. This ce was rich in divine Lingqipared to the outside world. If he were to practice here, then he could actually have twice the improvement with half the effort. ¡°No wonder this was the most central part of the rumors. Those formidable sects establish the core sections of their sect stations in these microcosms¡± Ye Xiwen said with a sigh. He had seen in some miscenies that these formidable sects ced the core section of their sects in these small worlds, and not only were these small worlds rich in various resources, which also acted as thest means to resist against the enemy. Those sects possessed supernatural powers and they would install matrix methods in these small worlds. These matrix methods were controlled by the ancestor of the sect and in the moment of an emergency, the ancestor would start the matrix method instantly in order to avoid the enemy. He nced around inside the Blood Yuan Territory and actually saw a small world covered with greenery in all directions. It was a beautiful new world that was small but filled with plenty of Lingqi. Since no one else was around, Ye Xiwen realized that when they had entered the gate, each of them must have been transmitted to a different ce inside the Blood Yuan Territory. Ye Xiwen gawked for a moment, but he did not stop and headed towards the central region of Blood Yuan Territory. The curtain of night gradually descended and a bright moon light enveloped the earth resembling a white nket. It was illuminating the whole piece ofnd with white and serene light. Inside the dark and gloomy forest, asionally, several streaks of moonlight projected through the dense foliage on the ground which was fully covered of fallen leaves, forming luminous spots on the ground and like this, only a few rays of moonlight were entering this dark and gloomy forest. Deep inside the forest, sometimes, faint roars of unknown beasts would spread, sending the chills down the spine of anyone. Ye Xiwen had been sauntering inside the Blood Yuan Territory for almost a day and sun had finally set, but even with all of his efforts, he had not encountered a single valuable target in this dark and gloomy forest. Although, it was a small worldpared to the ¡®Zhen Wu Jie¡¯ world, but the size of this world was absolutely not small. A breeze gently caressed against his face and suddenly a rustling sound spread over from all directions. Ye Xiwen stopped and not far from him, there was a nearly two meters tall, more than three meters long and dark purple colored leopard quietly standing on the top of the tree branch. Its soft and smooth fur was reflecting the moonlight with a touch of dark and light colors. Its limbs looked strong and full of explosive strength. Its sharp ws could easily tear off its prey and it had a strong jaw from which it was exuding low and deep roars from time to time. The sight of this demon beast in this moonlit dark night and gloomy forest could easily scare any human. The cold and sharp eyes were staring nonstop at Ye Xiwen. He had read many books on demon beasts and after thinking a bit, he finally recognized that this demon beast was called ¡®Youying Bao¡¯. It was not just a speed type demon beast, but it also moved quietly like a shadow and its dark purple color worked as a camouge in the night. On top of that, it also possessed an enormous strength. All these traits made this ¡®Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯ a very tough opponent. (NT: ¡®Youying Bao¡¯ means ¡®Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯) Considering its cultivation level, it was definitely a high level demon beast. The adults of its race could reach the peak of Houtian ninth stage, and some could even evolve into Xiantian realm demon beasts. These beasts lived in the depths of ¡®Fengye Mountain¡¯. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t understand the reason why he encountered one at the edge of the mountain forest! Like a quiet and well-behaved kitten, Quiet Shadow Leopard gracefully jumped from the tree and stepped on the ground covered with leaves. The scariest thing was its silent movements. Although Quiet Shadow Leopard was on a higher cultivation levelpared to Ye Xiwen, and the strength of a demon beast was greater than a human on the same cultivation level. However, Ye Xiwen was also an anomaly and his strength couldn¡¯t be weighed against his cultivation level. Quiet Yingbao walked slowly in a big circle around Ye Xiwen and it seemed as if it was trying to understand him. When it was behind him, suddenly the Quiet Shadow Leopard roared and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. It opened its huge mouth disying countless sharp steel-like teeth shining in the moonlight and a stench blew on his face. Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯s movements were fast and its figure looked like a shadow, but Ye Xiwen was well prepared. He had been paying attention to the movements of this beast and in an instant he easily dodged the attack of Quiet Shadow Leopard. He instantly drew out his long de and reflexively chopped out with an incredible force towards the face of that Quiet Shadow Leopard. If his de had struck its face then even if the other party was a tough demon beast, its brain would have immediately burst out of its body. However Quiet Shadow Leopard was clever and when it saw that the long deing straight at its face, it immediately jumped several meters back. It was actually very fast and after dodging the de attack, it looked warily at Ye Xiwen. ¡°Boom!¡± with a loud noise, the long de had punched a one foot long crack in the ground and had also caused a microseism in the surrounding area for a moment. That ¡®Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯ was looking warily at Ye Xiwen. He had not expected him to be so monstrously strong. This extent of physical strength was simply too terrifying, although Quiet Shadow Leopard was at the peak of Houtian ninth stage, but it excelled at speed over strength, therefore it was scared of Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying strength. However, even if it was scared of Ye Xiwen¡¯s monstrous strength, it was not willing to leave, constantly producing a deep whooshing sound. Ye Xiwen noticed that Quiet Shadow Leopard actually knew who was stronger between the two of them, but it had still not left. It was said that demon beasts wereparatively more intelligent than ordinary beasts. And when they would face a stronger opponent, they would try to avoid fighting and prefer to escape. Evidently, this was not necessarily the case this time. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 52 – If you commit suicide then I will leave your corpse intact Chapter 52 ¨C If youmit suicide then I will leave your corpse intact Suddenly, the Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯s shrill roar broke out, and with a faster pace than earlier, it pounced and arrived in front of Ye Xiwen in a blink of an eye. Its speed was so fast that it literally seemed as if a dark purple lightning had struck. Ye Xiwen could even see its ghastly scarlet teeth in the moonlight, aiming to bite his neck off. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t get enough time to think, and the long de danced in his hands releasing a terrifying Daoqi that instantly swept towards the Quiet Shadow Leopard who jumped away to avoid the attack, but the Daoqi had already cut off arge wound on its body. After getting injured, it seemed as if Quiet Shadow Leopard had be blood thirsty. It once again ferociously leapt rising its sharp ws and it literally went flying towards Ye Xiwen. If it had grabbed Ye Xiwen in its clutches then even the body an expert as strong as him would get pierced right away. Ye Xiwen crouched down to avoid its deadly attack and his backhand de attacked fiercely towards the Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯s soft lower abdomen. Ye Xiwen only felt a slightg and his long de¡¯s tip inserted into the abdomen of Quiet Shadow Leopard and came directly out of its back with a lot of blood gushing out of its body. ¡°Roar!¡± Quiet Shadow Leopard gave out a shrill cry. Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xiwen gave a backhand twist to his de and the Zhen Qi attached to his long de instantly exploded. In an instant, the Quiet Shadow Leopard¡¯s internal organs had been destroyed and looked simr to a pile of mud. Quiet Shadow Leopard roared twice and after struggling for a while, it finally died. Ye Xiwen kicked its dead body to the side while taking his de out of his body. This Blood Yuan Territory was not simr to the outside world. Even the same demon beasts here were more powerful and fiercerpared to their counterparts in the outside world. Quiet Shadow Leopards were a rare sight in the outside world, however, they were present in abundance here in Blood Yuan Territory. The formation of such a small world, ording to an old legend, urred from the broken fragments of space left behind after the fight between ancient experts. The ability of these ancient people was not something Ye Xiwen couldprehend. In addition to this small world, there were also some secondary nes, with unusual conditions. There were some with extremely cold environment, others filled with volcanic rocks, and each had different kinds of strange life forms existing inside. Legends about them were mentioned in the misceny but the information it contained was very ambiguous. In a blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Ye Xiwen had covered a long distance in the direction of central region of Fengye Mountain. Fengye Mountain, in the entire Blood Yuan Territory, was very prominent because it was the highest mountain in the Blood Yuan Territory covered with crimson colored maple trees. Its peak was so high that it actually billowed into the clouds. Fengye Mountain was the goal of Ye Xiwen, because it was the ce where Blood Yuan fruit could be found. As long as he followed into the direction of Fengye Mountain, he would not get lost. However, during these three days, it could be said that he did not a have single moment of peace. Demon beasts were present everywhere in the Blood Yuan Territory and the weakest among them had already reached the Houtian fifth stage. There were no weak demon beasts present inside the Blood Yuan Territory and whether it was day or night, he had to be careful of the surprise attacks from these demon beasts, which was quite bothersome for him. But Ye Xiwen slowly adapted to this rhythm, after all, he had roamed a lot in the backside of Qingfeng Mountain forest which was also filled with demon beasts. During these three days, Ye Xiwen had beheaded more than a dozen Houtian ninth stage demon beasts and had also found some very precious herbs. It could be said that he had already made a lot of money on this trip. The points of Ye Xiwen¡¯s Yaopai had quickly reached 1000 points, but Ye Xiwen felt that this was not enough, in fact, it was far from enough! What he desired was the Blood Yuan fruit because it was a treasure that even Xiantian realm masters would drool over. If he seeded in obtaining one then it would be very beneficial towards his future practice. ¡°Ha ha ha, it took me three days to find you and I finally find you! Ye Xiwen, if youmit suicide then I¡¯ll leave your dead body intact!¡± Suddenly, a rampantughter came from the horizon. A figure grazed over the tree tops, and in a while, it hade in front of Ye Xiwen. It was actually Zhang Yuntian. There was a murderous look on his face when he was looking at Ye Xiwen, as if wishing to kill him right now. He was one of the top disciples among the Zhang core disciples, and when he received such a disgrace, it was far worse than getting killed. Although, Ye Xiwen had showed him mercy, but in his view, he had actually been humiliated. It was the greatest shame in his life, and the only way to wash this shame off his body was to kill Ye Xiwen. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Ye Xiwen said while pulling out the long de from the scabbard tied to his back. ¡°Ye Xiwen, a few days ago, you humiliated me in front of everyone, my hatred towards you is absolutely irreconcble. Today is the day of your death, however, if youmit suicide then I¡¯ll leave your dead body intact.¡± Zhang Yuntianughed and said. ¡°I see, it seems you have gone deranged. That day, in front of arge crowd, I had showed you mercy, but, do you think now you can have such luck?¡± Ye Xiwen said while sneering again and again. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll ughter you without showing any mercy.¡± Zhang Yuntian¡¯splexion suddenly turned red just like a monkey¡¯s ass. Ye Xiwen words had deeply hurt his pride. ¡°Do you think I havee alone today? Since you refuse tomit suicide, then I will kill you first then feed you to the demon beasts.¡± Zhang Yuntian gritted his teeth and said. Not far from Zhang Yuntian, five or six figures suddenly emerged and soon arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen quickly recognized them. In addition to Zhang Yuntian¡¯s brother Zhang Yunfei, second ranked top disciple, Zhang Wu, had alsoe along with Zhang Ziqiu, who was also one of the top core disciples. In total, seven core disciples, including three top figures, had just now appeared in front of Ye Xiwen. Other four were also the masters of Houtian ninth stage, although not at the top level like the other three, but they were still extremely powerful. In order to kill Ye Xiwen, Zhang Yuntian had gathered a lot of strong masters. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you will die today. First I will cripple you and feed you to the demon beasts. Then I will watch while you are bitten to death!¡± Zhang Yunfei said with a cruel look on his face. After getting defeated by Ye Xiwen, the two brothers had been unable to lift their heads in front of other members of the Zhang family. His heart was filled with extreme hate towards Ye Xiwen and he just wanted to tear him to shreds and torture him in the most vicious ways possible before killing him. All of this just to eliminate the hate inside of his heart and to wash off the shame Ye Xiwen had imposed on him. ¡ª- Chapter 53 – Killed instead Chapter 53 ¨C Killed instead ¡°Ye Xiwen, you will die today. First I will cripple you and feed you to the demon beasts. Then I will watch while you are bitten to death!¡± Zhang Yunfei said with a cruel look on his face. The other Zhang disciples also had a cruel look on their faces. There always was an enmity between Yi Yuan School and Zhang family, although, they maintained a calm and tranquil look on their faces in front of Yi Yuan School¡¯s people but that was on the surface only. Ye Xiwen was undoubtedly the newly emerging genius of Yi Yuan School and suppressing a talent before it had fully grown was the most effective way to eliminate a future threat. Therefore, they had readily epted Zhang Yuntian¡¯s idea to gang up on Ye Xiwen. ¡°You will?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said, ¡°Gee, if so many experts died at once then it would severely weaken the Zhang family.¡± ¡°Everyone, Kill this insolent fool, but first, I want him crippled!¡± Zhang Yuntian roared with a fierce expression on his face. Several Houtian ninth stage disciples of Zhang family rushed together towards Ye Xiwen with all kinds of martial arts blooming in their hands. Although they were young, but they still were the masters of Houtian ninth stage so how could their attacks be so simple. Various colorful Zhen Qi exploded together in the air and a terrifying shock wave rushed towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°ng!¡± Ye Xiwen instantly unsheathed his long de which was blooming with dazzling light. The long de directly cut straight through the air towards the arriving shock wave. ¡°Boom!¡± Apanied with a loud air explosion, Ye Xiwen¡¯s long depletely cut off all their attacks. Ye Xiwen¡¯ de instantly drew nine de shadows which spread in the sky like a curtain of des and enveloped a Zhang disciple. ¡°Bold, you are courting death!¡± Zhang Wu suddenly got furious and gave out a loud shout and suddenly shot a spear with a high degree of proficiency. The spear was covered in a terrifying Spearqi and it flew straight towards Ye Xiwen at an astonishing speed. If it had hit Ye Xiwen, then it would have directly pierced right through him taking his life right away. Even after being attacked by a menacing Zhang Wu, Ye Xiwen¡¯s berserk mode did not stop, in fact, it actually got worse. With a rumbling thundering sound, his long de shed straight towards a Zhang disciple of Houtian ninth stage and instantly bisected him. This was the terrifying ¡®new moon beheader¡¯ and its trademark trait was that it would instantly cover all the escape routes and leave nowhere for the target to run. The only option left would be to face Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying long de head on. Ye Xiwen pulled back his long de sshing the blood drops on it and instantly attacked towards Zhang Wu¡¯s spear. At this time, Zhang Wu¡¯s spear had already arrived in front of Ye Xiwen and was about to pierce his body. ¡°Dang!¡± A loud metal shing sound spread all over and Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de easily deflected Zhang Wu¡¯s spear. ¡°Ah!¡± Ye Xiwen had beheaded a Zhang disciple and this had made Zhang Wu very furious. He shouted in a voice filled with anger, ¡°Today, even if the great king of immortals was to descend to this ce, he would not be able to save you. I will give you a miserable death!¡± ¡°You want to kill me? Today, I will decide whether you people are going to live or die!¡± Ye Xiwen screamed and the long de in his hands shone brightly like a star. An endless amount of Zhen Qi burst forth causing a terrifying air explosion. ¡°Missing moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen roared and his long de instantly chopped out towards Zhang Wu like a falling meteor. ¡°Boom!¡± Zhang Wu shot a terrifying Spearqi towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Again!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s second de chopped out almost instantly without any stagnation between the two strikes. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud explosion sound, the long bade struck on Zhang Wu¡¯s spear and he felt that his hands had gone numb. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was so terrifying that his de strike could even explode a mountain. If Zhang Wu was not at the peak of Houtian ninth stage, with his strength already approaching the strength of 99 Tigers, then this de strike was strong enough to send him flying. Zhang Wu eyes were filled with an inconceivable look because this scene was simply unimaginable. How could Ye Xiwen, who had not even reached the Houtian ninth stage, actually block his offensive spear attacks and what kind of terrifying strength did he possess in order to repel the attacks from a master of peak Houtian ninth stage. ¡°Third de!¡± The third de was even more terrifyingly powerful, ??but at this time, other Zhang disciples finally reacted and rushed over towards Ye Xiwen, all at once. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de instantly changed direction and chopped off towards Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei was considered the fastest among the Houtian eighth stage disciples and wanted to torture Ye Xiwen to death. When he saw that Ye Xiwen was busy fighting with Zhang Wu, he had suddenly thought of this as an opportunity and had rushed up for a sneak attack. ¡°Idiot, do you think I couldn¡¯t kill youst time?¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and his long knifepletely turned directly towards Zhang Yunfei and chopped off. This strike was lighting fast and immediately chopped down. ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Zhang Yuntian¡¯s eyes turned red and he exhaled loudly, however, there was no way to save Zhang Yunfei because his fate had already been sealed. ¡°Puchi!¡± Zhang Yunfei was frightened when he saw Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de advancing towards him, but, he didn¡¯t get any time to react and was instantly split into two halves. ¡°No, little brother, Ye Xiwen, I am going to kill you!¡± Zhang Yuntian had suddenly gone demented and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. But how could he be Ye Xiwen¡¯s match. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de, like a brilliant meteor, flew across the sky, while splitting the air and directly chopped down Zhang Yuntian into two halves. Those Zhang disciples could not believe their eyes. How was this possible? In such a short period of time, three of their own had been killed by Ye Xiwen, including Zhang Yuntian, who was one of the top core disciples and was quite famous among the Zhang disciples. But he was still chopped down so easily by Ye Xiwen. It was like a cmity to them who hade to kill but had been killed instead! ¡°Everyone, kill him, we absolutely cannot let him grow up!¡± Zhang Ziqiu roared. How old was Ye Xiwen? Not even twenty years old and he was already so terrifying. If he was left to fully grow up, then how terrible he would turn out to be. Just thinking about had sent chills down their spines. Ye Xiwen was dressed in dark green clothes and his ck hair was flying wildly. He was carrying a long de in his hand from which crimson blood was dripping constantly. He had an ice-cold expression on his face which was very frightening, as if the demon god from ancient times hade back to life to wreck havoc on everything. However before Zhang Ziqiu could finish what he was saying, Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoqi had chopped down and before he could even have a chance to react, this Daoqi had already chopped him down into two halves. ¡°You have actually killed so many people from our Zhang family, you will die, because our Zhang family will not let you off.¡± A Houtian ninth stage disciple mored. ¡°Idiot, no matter how many of you Zhang people I kill here, your Zhang family will have no way to trace it back to me. Moreover, as long as I kill all of you, no one will know that I did it. It is a great idea isn¡¯t it? So I dare you, try to run away. Let¡¯s see if you can outrun me.¡± Ye Xiwen said and unleashed ¡®Celestial Step¡¯. As if a celestial being had gone out on a stroll, elegant and effortlessly, he had instantly rushed to the front of that disciple of the Houtian ninth stage and chopped him into many pieces. Ye Xiwen was extremely fast and his long de seemed like the thunder itself. Within seconds, he hadpletely beheaded rest of the Zhang disciples. Zhang Wu turned around to escape and had taken only a few steps, however, was immediately overtaken by Ye Xiwen. The terrifying long de shed right at him and he met his end quite fast. ¡ª- (NT: I have tranted chapter 55 but trantion of chapter 54 will take time(It was boring so i jumped to chapter 55 :P). However, its alreadyte here and i might go to bed because i am very exhausted. So, i may or may not release chapters 54 & 55 today (in my timezone) ) Chapter 54 – A mysterious expert appears Chapter 54 ¨C A mysterious expert appears After all of the Zhang disciples had been killed, Ye Xiwen seized their things. He gained a total of thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Although they were not as rich as him, but in the end, they still held the position of core disciples and this amount was enough to call them rich. Also, Ye Xiwen was already rich enough to bepared to a Xiantian realm master. Most importantly, the score on Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡®Yaopai¡¯ had gone up to five thousand points. Although, all this time, these people were looking for Ye Xiwen, but they had not forgotten to umte points on the way and that was the reason why their total score was so high. When Ye Xiwen killed them, theirbined score got transferred to his ¡®Yaopai¡¯ and all of a sudden, his umted points reached five thousand points. When the points in his ¡®Yaopai¡¯ increased, he reaffirmed that these rules were truly to encourage mutual fighting. After seizing their things, he didn¡¯t stay there for too long. He quickly fled into the forest and disappeared. ¡ª¡ª In the forest, a group of seven or eight individuals were rapidly jumping from one tree to another. All of them were the masters of Houtian ninth stage, including this year¡¯s strongest top core disciple of Zhang family, named Zhang Jingxin, and the strongest female top disciple, Zhang Yuelian. The most surprising thing about this group was that it was not being led by Zhang Jingxin or Zhang Yuelian either, but some other guy, a handsome youth who seemed to be in his twenties. ¡®¡±Brother Liu!¡± Zhang Jingxin said, ¡°These Yi Yuan School disciples are very troublesome, so we should just go and kill them all right now.¡± That youth surnamed Liu frowned then said: ¡°Those Yi Yuan School disciples are dispersed throughout the forest, finding and killing them one by one will take a lot of time. Moreover, those Yi Yuan disciples don¡¯t pose much of a threat to my ns.¡± ¡°It¡¯s obvious, Brother Liu¡¯s ability is invincible, but that Yi Yuan School¡¯s Ye Feng is said to have entered half a step into the Xiantian realm and he can be considered as an extremely tough opponent. Also, his brother Ye Xiwen had easily defeated our core disciples and all those who have seen him fighting say that his strength is unfathomable.¡± Zhang Jingxin said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, although he has entered half a step into the Xiantian realm, but he is still nothingpared to me. When the timees, killing him won¡¯t be so difficult.¡± The youth surnamed Liu impatiently said, ¡°And, it doesn¡¯t matter, our main focus should be on reaching the Fengye Mountain where Blood Yuan fruit trees are located. When the timees, we will obliterate anyone whoes in our way.¡± ¡°In order to obtain a Blood Yuan fruit, you people and those core disciples from Yi Yuan School havee to Blood Yuan Territory to participate in this core disciplespetition. I am determined to win thispetition and receive a Blood Yuan fruit, and when the timees, I will be able to break into the ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ realm. At that time, you people will also reap a lot of benefits.¡± The youth surnamed Liu said in a rxed tone. (NT: ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ means ¡®the true way¡¯) ¡°Indeed, indeed, serving under Brother Liu is our greatest pleasure!¡± Zhang Jingxin hastily said. ¡°But, you should not be too hasty. Wait for me to enter into the ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ realm, then promoting all of you into the Xiantian realm will be a child¡¯s y.¡± The youth surnamed Liu said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to hurry because there¡¯s still some time left for the Blood Yuan fruit to fully mature. Whether Yi Yuan School disciples, or those demon beasts, they won¡¯t start fighting for the fruit before it fully ripens. Once the timees, we will attack and kill all of them whether it¡¯s those Yi Yuan disciples or the demon beasts of Blood Yuan Territory. Blood Yuan fruit won¡¯t go anywhere so we don¡¯t need to worry about it for now. I know that Yi Yuan core disciples are hiding themselves and nning something. So, let¡¯s go and enhance your strengths first and when the final battle starts, then you all can prove your usefulness.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Zhang¡¯s disciples agreed in session and looked very excited, after all, they would be able to enhance their strengths so why wouldn¡¯t they be happy. ¡ª¡ª¡ª- There were innumerable giant trees present inside the Blood Yuan forest, covering the entire range of sight with absolutely no end. One could hear the sound of Apes eating and shaking the branches on these giant trees. Several Silver-haired Violent Apes were issuing deafening roars. They had encircled a human figure and were constantly attacking him. These violent apes had enormous palms, resembling a big ¡®putuan¡¯ and could seriously injure a master of the Houtian seventh or eighth stage. Each of these violent apes was already at the peak of Houtian ninth stage and adding their violent nature, they were very terrifying. (NT: ¡®putuan¡¯ is a cushion or mat, much like futons used in Japan) However, there was a reckless young man standing in the middle of this group of violent apes and was constantly bearing their attacks on his body. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The big palms of these violent apes were ruthlessly hitting on this young man¡¯s body, and he was uttering a stressed sound as if trying to bear the intense pain. This young man was none other than Ye Xiwen. Since the killing of Zhang Yuntian and other Zhang disciples, twenty days had already passed. In these twenty days, he had spent his maximum time practicing his body and flesh by fighting with the demon beasts unarmed. In the beginning, even though his body was surprisingly strong, but such a direct confrontation with the violent apes had almost killed him. The punches of those violent apes had seriously wounded him. Although, Ye Xiwen could have used his true power by using his de to easily kill all of these apes, but right now, he needed to exceed the limit of his body¡¯s strength. So, he was trying to exercise his own body and flesh to an extreme state, and bearing the attacks from these violent apes directly on his body was the best way to strengthen his body. Fortunately, Ye Xiwen possessed a lot of medicinal pills. He had killed many core disciples, and also that young lord named Luo Tian, who was also a Xiantian realm master. Ye Xiwen had seized a variety of high quality medicinal pills and whenever he got wounded by fighting unarmed with the violent apes, he would wildly use medicinal pills to heal his injuries. He had continuously used those pills to heal himself and had trained nonstop for thest two weeks. With every injury that got cured, his body would be even stronger and the ¡°Tyrants Body Technique¡± would also progress a step. This technique was not only able to increase the strength, the toughness of the body and flesh could be rapidly improved, and now, he could easily kill a violent ape using just his hands. (NT: Imagine Goku¡¯s training) Right now, those violent apes were constantly hitting Ye Xiwen¡¯s body with their big palms, but their attacks couldn¡¯t even move him an inch. ¡°Ha!¡± Ye Xiwen gave out a loud shout and his palm pped towards a violent ape and with an explosion, it collided fiercely against its big palm. ¡°Rumble!¡± Nine echoes of Rushing thunder hand smacked that had alreadye to the point of perfection. Being his first martial arts technique, he had already mastered it to a state of perfection. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Kara!¡± With a loud sound of fracture bone, Ye Xiwen had unexpectedly fractured the arm of a violent ape in one move. ¡°Roar!¡± Violent ape bellowed, but, Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t stop and again pped on the chest of violent ape and this attack was fast that there was no way for the violent ape to dodge it. His palm, wrapped in a snow-white Zhen Qi, smashed into the chest of a violent ape with an incredible force and went right through its body. A violent ape had been killed, and right at that moment, other violent apes severely pped their big hands on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡ª¡ª Chapter 55 – Houtian ninth stage Chapter 55 ¨C Houtian ninth stage The attacks of these Violent Apes left shallow blue bruises on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, but within a few breaths time, all of these bruisespletely disappeared. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body had be very formidable! Ye Xiwen turned around 180 degrees and gave a solid punch to a violent ape, killing it instantly. One! Two! Three! Four! ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen curled his fingers into a fist and punched out violently which caused many air explosions. ¡°Bang!¡± A loud noise of explosions spread out and an endless amount of Zhen Qi burst out everywhere in the surrounding. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°ng!¡± With the sound of unsheathing a de, a foot long Daoqi emerged from Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm! Pick! Stab! Chop! Cut! . . . . . . A move after move, Ye Xiwen continued to use the de skills using his palms instead of his long de. Each of his moves would kill a violent ape instantly, although, these violent apes were at the Houtian ninth stage, but they still weren¡¯t his match. (NT: Ye Xiwen is using a ¡®Daoqi¡¯ in his hands to disy his de skills.) Ye Xiwen estimated that theirbat strengths should be in between Houtian and Xiantian realms. They were the so-called ¡®half-step into Xiantian realm¡¯ type demon beasts. Now, Ye Xiwen could have a breakthrough anytime and once he had a breakthrough, then he would be able to easilypete with a Xiantian realm master. The strength of his mortal body had already reached the strength of 99 Tigers that was the peak level for a Houtian realm expert. And if he continued to temper his body with all kinds of external forces, then his strength would finally reach the strength of a dragon. This unceasing massacre by Ye Xiwen had finally angered the violent ape king. It was a huge violent ape with its whole body covered with fiery red hair. There was a grim look on its face and a pair of bloody red eyes was staring maliciously at Ye Xiwen. The violent ape king punched out its gigantic fist and each fist producedyer uponyer of fire waves rushing towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen gather the Qi into both his palms and directly shot up in the air causing a huge air explosion apanied with a sharp loud sound. ¡°Roar!¡± Violent ape king fiercely punched into Ye Xiwen¡¯s chest and he spat out a mouthful of blood, however, right at that moment, he also gave a lightning-fast direct kick on its belly. ¡°Dang!¡± It felt as if Ye Xiwen had directly kicked on a steel te. The violent ape king only felt a momentary numbness in its body from the terrifying strength present in his kick, and retreated a few steps. This was not the first time he had fought with violent ape king. During the first fight, he had nearly died at the hands of violent ape king because it was a demon beast that had actually entered half a step into the Xiantian realm. These types of demon beasts were terrifyingly strong and could bepared to a semi-transformed Xiantian master. Ye Xiwen truly felt how overpowering a Xiantian master¡¯s strength could be. Although he had beheaded Luo Tian before, but he had already been wounded by Hua Menghan and was extremely weak, otherwise, on that day, he would have died instead. All this time, Ye Xiwen had just been ying around with this giant ape, training his body externally at the same time. If he was just an ordinary master of peak Houtian ninth stage then he would definitely have died at the hands of these violent apes. However, the ¡°Tyrants Body Technique¡± had showed its terrible power during this training. Although, his body looked slim, but it actually contained an explosive power condensed inside it. Although, right now, Ye Xiwen was a lot weaker than violent ape king, but as long he didn¡¯t receive a direct frontal attack from it, he could continue to heal his minor injuries by eating the medicinal pills and like this he could keep on ying around with the violent ape king. Initially, his punches and kicks almost had no effect on the violent ape king, and even if he tried his best, he couldn¡¯t shake its huge body. But now, he had be stronger and could easily push it several steps back. In such a short interval of ten days, the progress in his body¡¯s strength was simply unbelievable. The continuous process of getting beaten up and healing, again and again, to rapidly increase the body strength had actually worked. And finally, he had reached the critical point of Houtian eight stage and was only a step away from Houtian ninth stage. Once he entered the Houtian ninth stage, he would be able to climb a step above his current strength of 99 Tigers, and would finally acquire the strength of a dragon. Ye Xiwen suddenly took out his long de from the scabbard on his back, which released a bright light and a Daoqi, shaped like a long de, chopped out towards the violent ape king. Violent ape king suddenly punched out fire waves towards Ye Xiwen, but these fire waves were instantly chopped down by the Daoqi which then rushed forward and directly collided into its huge fist. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack was so fierce that it had actually cut out deep wounds on its body. Even the bones were visible and the blood was constantly flowing out of these wounds. ¡°Roar!¡± The violent ape king suddenly cried out in pain and its eyes looked even more brutal. Numerous mes red out from the gaping wounds on its body and the scene resembled a volcanic eruption. The violent ape king had directly turned into a violent ming ape. mes burst out from the punch of violent ape king and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. But, he calmly looked into the blood-red eyes of violent ape king, because, he sensed that its movements had started to look very slow. ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, something exploded inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and he, who had not been able to have a breakthrough for a long time, finally had breakthrough. ¡°Tyrants Body Technique¡± suddenly started to revolve wildly inside his body. The strength of ny-nine Tigers started to gather at one point inside his body and started to transform into an immense strength. His strength was no longer decentralized and had started to unite together. ¡°Boom!¡± At this moment, ¡°Tyrant Body Technique¡± finally broke through to the firstyer of the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm, and he finally acquired the strength of a dragon. Ye Xiwen heard a faint voice of a Dragon within his body. He fiercely opened his eyes, an imposing aura spread out and he threw a kick towards the violent ape king. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen, once again kicked the violent ape king, however this time, the terrifying strength of a dragon present in his kick directly sted away the violent ape king and it tumbled down to one side. However, he did not continue to chase after it to give the killing blow. Because, he sensed that the Zhen Qi inside his body had begun to stir up and was constantly revolving around. Ye Xiwen knew that he was about to have a breakthrough. Ye Xiwen constantly condensed the Zhen Qi inside his body. His body had already acquired a touch of Xiantian Zhen Qi, and at this moment, this early experience had yed a guiding role in transforming countless amount of Houtian Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi. He didn¡¯t know how much time had already passed. It seemed like many years had passed, but also like only a few seconds had passed. After he had condensed the Zhen Qi, he felt that 10% of the Houtian Zhen Qi inside his body had fully transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen finally broke through to the Houtian ninth stage. After breaking through to the Houtian ninth stage, Ye Xiwen suddenlyughed out and once again looked towards the violent ape king with a glorious look in his eyes. His de shined brightly and ¡®Daoguang¡¯ rushed towards the mighty violent ape king and chopped it into two halves. (NT: ¡®Daoguang¡¯ means ¡®delight¡¯) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 56 – Towards the Fengye Mountain Chapter 56 ¨C Towards the Fengye Mountain Ye Xiwen was unbearably delighted in his heart, and why wouldn¡¯t he be, he finally acquired the strength of a dragon, and one tenth of his Zhen Qi had already converted into Xiantian Zhen Qi. He was confident that now, he could easilypete with a Xiantian master. Ye Xiwen had found Luo Tian¡¯s notes in his storage ring and learned from it that Xiantian realm was also divided in nine stages and these stages depended on the amount of Zhen Qi already transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi. If 10% of Zhen Qi had transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi then the expert would break into the Xiantian first stage. If 20% of Zhen Qi had transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi then the expert would reach the peak of Xiantian first stage. If 30% of Zhen Qi had transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi then the expert would break into the Xiantian second stage. In other words, now that he possessed the strength of a dragon, and had also sessfully transformed 10% of his Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, he could open up the world bridge of Xiantian realm and then, he would be able topete with a Xiantian first stage master, though he would stillck the endurance of a Xiantian master. However, his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. But this happiness was short-lived, because even if he couldpete with a Xiantian master, but after all, he had not yet entered the Xiantian realm and there was still a long way to go. Almost half a month had passed with only ten days left. Within this time, he needed to continue to increase his score, although he had already gained a lot of points by killing those Zhang disciples, but he still felt that his score was not enough to win a Blood Yuan fruit. Now that his fighting power wasparable to that of a Xiantian master, it had be too simple for him to earn points, because now, even the demon beasts of peak Houtian ninth stage were simply not his match. Days passed, Ye Xiwen beheaded many demon beasts on the way to Fengye Mountain and his score also increased rapidly. Five dayster, his total umted points had gone over 10,000 points, and during this period, he had also found a yellow token. He didn¡¯t have an experience of this kind ofpetition and he didn¡¯t know if the score of 10,000 points was good enough or not. So, he had followed the rule of the more the better and had continued to collect as much points as he could. However, the time to exit the Blood Yuan Territory had almost arrived and Ye Xiwen rushed towards the central region of Fengye Mountain. There, Blood Yuan fruit was about to mature, and at that time, Blood Yuan Territory would open up and the four elders woulde inside to reward the fruits to the top scorers. There was no need to worry about someone picking up the Blood Yuan fruits in advance, because, if it was picked by someone before it had fully matured, then it would lose all its miraculous properties and be a useless fruit. Everyone, including Xiantian demon beasts, knew about this fact and wouldn¡¯t touch it before it fully matured. Those Xiantian level demon beasts possessed wisdom, in fact, it could be said that after entering into the Xiantian realm, demon beasts gained intelligence and wisdom. As these Xiantian level demon beasts grew stronger, their wisdom also increased with their strengths. These wise demon beasts were called ¡®True demon beasts¡¯ and the Houtian realm demon beasts were nothingpared to them. Even formidable demon beasts could change their appearance into that of a human, and they belonged to the race named Yaozu race. (NT: ¡®Yaozu¡¯ means ¡®Demon race¡¯) ¡ª¡ª Near the Forest of Fengye Mountain, a group of dozens of Yi Yuan School disciples had gathered. The group was being led by both Ye Feng and Zhang Yang in the direction of central region of Fengye Mountain. ording to the time informed by the elders, Blood Yuan fruit was about to mature, and then they would also be able to get out of the Blood Yuan Territory. In a blink of an eye, a month had already passed and it was enough to gather all of the Yi Yuan disciples together, and at the same time, also hunt for the points. The sole purpose of this rule was to encourage the two sides to kill each other. After entering this dimension, all of the disciples had been scattered throughout the territory and simr to Zhang family, Yi Yuan School disciples had also searched for each other and gathered together, because staying alone and away from the main group could be life threatening. In the beginning, both sides had a lot of casualties. Both sides had killed a lot of strayed disciples from the other side until Zhang family and Yi Yuan School disciples had gathered their own disciples and formed their respective groups. In addition to that, Xiantian demon beasts had almost disappeared from Blood Yuan Territory. Every ten years, both schools would send arge number of Xiantian masters into the Blood Yuan Territory and they had exterminated almost all of the Xiantian demon beasts because these beasts required decades to reach the Xiantian realm. So, it could be said that the Blood Yuan Territory didn¡¯t have any Xiantian demon beasts left, and even if there were some left, then they were only a few in numbers. And this was the reason why Yi Yuan School had finally agreed to the idea of ??Zhang family to send their core disciples together inside the Blood Yuan Territory. If there were Xiantian demon beasts running amuck inside the territory then they certainly wouldn¡¯t send their core disciples to their deaths. Also, Ye Feng had already entered half a step into the Xiantian realm and his presence had helped in reducing the casualties to a minimum. However, a lot of core disciples had died and the death count was at least over fifteen disciples. All of they were the core disciples of Yi Yuan School and losing even one could be considered a great loss for the School, but losing fifteen of them was definitely a severe loss for the Yi Yuan School. Of course, Zhang family had also lost a lot of their core disciples. ¡°Thispetition is nowing to an end.¡± Ye Feng said, ¡°We will immediately go to Fengye Mountain and wait for two elders to arrive.¡± Although, they might encounter the Zhang crowd on the way to Fengye Mountain, but they had no choice. The fight between the two sides was inevitable. Moreover, they needed to hurry and reach there before those Zhang disciples could, so as to stop them from getting their hands on the Blood Yuan fruit. Everyone¡¯s face had lighted up because they were finally getting out of here. In this month, their strengths had greatly improved. There were more than a dozen who were initially at the peak of Houtian eighth stage and had broken through to the Houtian ninth stage. For many disciples, the purpose ofing here had already been achieved and they had also greatly honed their skills. ¡°But we need to be careful of those sneaky Zhang bastards.¡± Ye Feng continued, ¡°This month, I have always felt that something¡¯s wrong. Except for the first few days of skirmishes, it suddenly got so peaceful, this is not their style.¡± ¡°You are right, but there are so many people in our group and all of their plots will be totally useless against us.¡± Zhang Yang said with a smile. Although, the fat elder hadmented that this year¡¯s group of core disciples was a lineup of losers, but that was not the case. Zhang Yang was confident that there were enough people in their squad to take care of those Zhang disciples and as far as those top disciples were concerned, if he and Ye Feng joined forces then they could easily take care of them. So Zhang Yang was not worried at all. ¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 57 –Zhang family’s bastards, die! Chapter 57 ¨CZhang family¡¯s bastards, die! There were a lot of giant blood-red trees on top of the Fengye Mountain and a bunch of nine mouthwatering red fruits could be seen hanging from one of those trees exuding a very seductive aroma which was gradually spreading out in the surrounding area. These were the precious Blood Yuan fruits found in Blood Yuan Territory. Under those Blood Yuan fruit trees, there was a huge pile of corpses of demon beasts, ranging from the Houtian ninth stage demon beasts to even half a step Xiantian demon beasts. Next to these corpses, two groups were confronting each other. The group of Yi Yuan School disciples was being led by Ye Feng and Zhang Yang, while the Zhang¡¯s group was being led by the mysterious youth surnamed Liu. ¡°You people are really mean! You actually n to have sole possession of all Blood Yuan fruits?¡± Zhang Yang said coldly while staring at the Zhang disciples. ¡°Give up the idea because when our elders will arrive, you guys are really going to get it!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s beat these bastards to death!¡± All of the Yi Yuan School disciples were furious and started shouting. Ye Feng narrowed his eyes but did not speak anything. He had led all of the Yi Yuan School disciples all the way up to here, and after arriving here, they had encountered a group assault from a flock of demon beasts. They had faced a lot of difficulty in beheading all of those demon beasts, and right after this, these Zhang disciples had appeared to take away all of the Blood Yuan fruits. This matter had gone totally out of hand. ¡°If you are not willing to give up, then die!¡± Zhang Jingxin narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice. ¡°You will kill all of us? Then we will find you and send a punitive expedition to punish all of you.¡± A Yi Yuan School disciple got furious and said. ¡°Ha ha ha, punitive expedition to find us? For what reason? You Yi Yuan School disciples were all killed and eaten by the demon beasts so why do we have to be responsible for your deaths?¡± Zhang Guoqiughed loudly and looked at the Yi Yuan School disciples as if looking at dead people. Theplexion of the Yi Yuan School disciples suddenly paled. Was it possible that these Zhang disciples had nned to kill them all and pretend that they had been massacred by the demon beasts? And if their Yi Yuan School could not produce strong evidence to prove what actually happened? ¡°Since these disciples of Yi Yuan School are so stubborn, massacre them all!¡± The cloaked-youth surnamed Liu said. Zhang disciples did not hesitate to release bursts of murderous aura. Ye Feng also jumped into the fight, but in just one month, the strength of these Zhang disciples had actually improved a lot. But Ye Feng was relieved to see that three of the Zhang¡¯s seven top disciples were not present. He could only see four of them and being half-a-step into the Xiantian realm, he could easily handle four experts of peak Houtian ninth stage. However, he certainly did not know that the other three had already been beheaded by Ye Xiwen. However, Ye Feng was getting a bad intuition about that mysterious cloaked-youth. He was having a dangerous feeling and this intuition of his had saved him many times in the past. The youth surnamed Liu suddenly rushed out and Ye Feng actually saw that each of his steps was creating a huge crack on the ground. A terrifying imposing aura unleashed from the body of that mysterious youth and locked firmly on Ye Feng. ¡°Xiantian, he is actually a Xiantian master!¡± Ye Feng was startled because being half a step into the Xiantian realm, he very well understood how much terrifying a Xiantian master could be. For martial artists, the Xiantian realm was like the first step. Houtian realm was likeying the foundation and bing a Xiantian master was likepleting the first transformation. A terrifying imposing aura had spread throughout the area and waspletely suppressing the morale of the crowd like a mountain itself and a normal human being would definitely faint under such pressure. This was the coercion of a Xiantian master, and those disciples could bear it only because they were considered elite among the elites and possessed firm minds. For ordinary disciples, only a look from a Xiantian master was enough to severely injure or kill them. ¡°Everybody run, wait for the arrival of our two elders, then we will settle things with them!¡± Ye Feng shouted. He drew a long sword from his back and stood in front of everyone to give them a chance to escape. ¡°Ha ha ha ha, do you think they cane in?¡± The youth surnamed Liu suddenlyughed and said and looked at Ye Feng and other Yi Yuan disciples, as if watching a group of ants, ¡°This space has already been sealed from inside. Someone wille to your rescue? Stop dreaming, ha ha ha ha! ¡° ¡°What!¡± Yi Yuan School disciples felt a shock in their hearts. The space had been sealed? It actually meant that Blood Yuan Territory had been locked and no one would be able leave ore inside. They had been trapped inside to die. ¡°They go too far, everyone, let¡¯s fight with them!¡± A Yi Yuan School disciple roared. ¡°Yes, let¡¯s fight! We won¡¯t die like scapegoats!¡± ¡°Overconfident, kill them all, do not leave even a single one alive!¡± The cloaked-youth surnamed Liu said in a cold voice, however, his eyes were constantly staring above at the matured Blood Yuan fruits. His eyes were revealing a greedy look. That youth surnamed Liu suddenly drew out his long de and instantly chopped out a terrifying coercion apanied with a dazzling Daoguang which rushed towards Ye Feng. (NT: ¡®Daoguang¡¯ means ¡®delight¡¯) The surrounding aura instantly condensed into a row of Daoqi which clustered together into a roaring dragon and instantly flew towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng struck his sword and the Jianqi erupted out of its tip containing even more power than that of the peak Houtian ninth stage. ¡°Boom!¡± A fierce collision urred between the Daoqi and Jianqi in the air and caused a terrifying st which sent out ayer afteryer of strong air waves in all directions. The power of Daoqi released by the youth surnamed Liu didn¡¯t diminish and severely hit Ye Feng¡¯s body. ¡°Poof!¡± Ye Feng spat a mouthful of blood and his body was sent flying upside down. ¡°Overconfident!¡± The youth surnamed Liu said with disdain. ¡°Brother!¡± Ye Ruxue rushed out from the crowd and ran up to the side of her brother, Ye Feng. ¡°Do it, kill all of them and leave no one alive!¡± Zhang Jingxin cruelly said. Zhang disciples screamed loudly and rushed towards the Yi Yuan School disciples. Suddenly, a loud piercing sound came out of nowhere and spread throughout the sky together with a huge Daoqi which chopped out instantly towards the group of Zhang disciples. ¡°Zhang family¡¯s bastards, die!¡± A loud voice thundered in the sky. Several Zhang disciples tried to escape but couldn¡¯t and instantly got chopped down into pieces. ¡°Who is it?¡± That youth surnamed Liu was the first to shout. ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± A figure could be seen from far, getting closer. The eyes of everyone were filled with horror, because it was actually Ye Xiwen. ¡°It¡¯s actually you? How is this possible? You should not be ...¡± Zhang Jingxin said with an unbelievable look on his face. ¡°It¡¯s quite unexpected right?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said, ¡°Unfortunately, it didn¡¯t happen the way you had wished for because I have already chopped down those several other Zhang losers you sent after me.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Zhang Jingxin said in a shocked tone because they were not just one of the ordinary core disciples. They were one of the top seven disciples of Zhang family, and out of those seven top Zhang disciples, Ye Xiwen had already ughtered three. Zhang Jingxin immediately became furious. ¡ª¡ª (NT: I am currently editing Chapter 58 & 59 . It will take time so expect them in few hours.) Chapter 58 – Suppressing a Xiantian Chapter 58 ¨C Suppressing a Xiantian Like the disciples of Yi Yuan School, the disciples of Zhang family, after practicing to a certain extent, would also enter into the Tianfeng Hall. Zhang family was itself considered a high-level family in the Tianfeng hall and every year, a lot of Zhang disciples would enter into the Tianfeng Hall. Like any ce, Tianfeng Hall also had a very intensepetition among the sects. Large and small forces would always bepeting with each other. Zhang Jingxin was this year¡¯s ringleader for Zhang family and in the future, this group would also be led by him. Ye Xiwen had killed three important disciples from his future team, and by doing so, he had enraged Zhang Jingxin. With the sudden appearance of Ye Xiwen, the morale of Yi Yuan School disciples had boosted up. ¡°Fuck these bastards!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The morale of Yi Yuan School disciples had immediately mobilized. ¡°You are courting death!¡± The youth surnamed Liu said in a cold voice, ¡°Attack!¡± The Zhang disciples immediately rushed towards the Yi Yuan School disciples. ¡°Boom!¡± The two sides severely shed against each other like the two mighty currents in an ocean. The eyes of the disciples from both sides had be bloody-red with killing intent. ¡°Boy, you are courting death!¡± Zhang Jingxin roared and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. That youth surnamed Liu looked towards the Blood Yuan fruits on the hilltop and flew up to snatch them. But, how could Ye Xiwen allow him to seed. He instantly pursued after Liu, skimming up the hill, however right at this moment, Zhang Jingxin¡¯s sword rushed over and stabbed towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Get the fuck out of my way!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted. The ¡®Daoguang¡¯ horizontally chopped down a mighty Daoqi which swept away towards Zhang Jingxin. ¡°Bang!¡± Zhang Jingxin¡¯s Jianqi was simply not powerful enough to even put a scratch on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. And just like Ye Feng was helpless in front of the youth surnamed Liu, he was also in a simr situation and was definitely not a match for Ye Xiwen, who had already condensed one tenth of his Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi. The difference between the Xiantian and Houtian Zhen Qi was more qualitative than quantitative. This meant that even a small amount of Xiantian Zhen Qi was strong enough to beat a huge amount of Houtian Zhen Qi. In addition to that, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was much betterpared to Zhang Jingxin¡¯s strength. So, when the long de of Ye Xiwen chopped down, it directly deflected the sword of Zhang Jingxin and sent him flying like a broken kite spitting a mouthful of blood Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t even stop to look at Zhang Jingxin and continued to pursue after that youth surnamed Liu. ¡°How dare you stop me?¡± The youth surnamed Liu furiously said. Shabu! The youth surnamed Liu turned back in a sh and chopped out his de twice towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen instinctively used his long de causing the Zhen Qi to burst out and a Daoqi horizontally chopped out towards the youth surnamed Liu. ¡°Boom!¡± The two simrly tyrannical Daoqi met in mid-air and collided which caused a terrifying st. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The youth surnamed Liu people saw the Daoqi released by Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de and suddenly said in a surprised tone, ¡°Impossible! How can you possess Xiantian Zhen Qi?¡± As a master of the Xiantian, he could easily sense the Xiantian Zhen Qi. But, he could clearly feel that Ye Xiwen was definitely not a Xiantian expert, but how could he possess such a huge amount of condensed Xiantian Zhen Qi, when he was still a Houtian realm expert. ¡°Impossible?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. With just an exchange of blows, he had already found out the ins and outs of this youth surnamed Liu. Undoubtedly, he was a Xiantian master, but he was still way weakerpared to Luo Tian. And most importantly, just from looking at his Zhen Qi, Ye Xiwen had realized that Liu had just entered into the Xiantian realm, and had not even transformed 10% of his Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi. This was the biggest advantage for Ye Xiwen. ¡°You should worry about yourself first. You injured my brother, ordered an attack on the disciples of my Yi Yuan School. For doing all this, I will take everything back from you with interest!¡± Ye Xiwen screamed and attacked again. Seeing that ridiculously powerful Liu had beenpletely pushed down by Ye Xiwen, suddenly, the morale of Yi Yuan School disciples reached its pinnacle. They didn¡¯t fear Zhang disciples, but they were scared of that powerful youth surnamed Liu, because, even Ye Feng, the most powerful core disciple of Yi Yuan School, was not a match for this enemy and had been easily defeated. This had made them feel insecure about their future, but now, although they did not know how Ye Xiwen would resist a Xiantian master, but he had already blocked an attack from Liu which was good news for them at that time. The Yi Yuan School disciples understood that this was a battle of life and death and there was no possibility of mutualpromise. They immediately rushed into the battlefield and shed against the Zhang disciples. The youth surnamed Liu suddenly flew off the ground to dodge an attack from Ye Xiwen. But, Ye Xiwen¡¯s de skill had already reached the ultimate level and the speed of his de attack was so fast that it had instantly arrived in front of Liu. Liu was very depressed! He was a dignified Xiantian master but he had actually been pressed down by a master of the Houtian realm. Yes! He had beenpletely suppressed by Ye Xiwen. Because, Ye Xiwen actually had the power of a dragon which was not beneath the strength of Liu, and Ye Xiwen had already transformed 10% of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi, that was also morepared to the extent of transformation achieved by that youth surnamed Liu. Liu was considered a genius in the Tianfeng hall, but today, he was getting suppressed by a master of the Houtian realm. How could he ept this? He suddenly yelled out: ¡°The ming de!¡± Suddenly, the Zhen Qi attached to his long de instantly started to burn up, and from afar, it looked like a ming de. The ming de danced in the hands of the youth surnamed Liu. The burning air produced sizzling noise and a terrifying heat wave rushed towards Ye Xiwen. The amount of heat present in this ming de¡¯s heat wave attack was astonishing. This astonishing heat wave instantly swept towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen sneered again and again. He instantly chopped down his Daoqi in the sky, directly towards the iing heat wave. The terrifying Daoqi suddenly broke out, and the incredible pressure present in his Daoqi instantly suppressed that astonishing heat wave. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The two terrifying Xiantian Zhen Qi fiercely collided and caused an intense explosion. During their confrontation, the youth surnamed Liu had beenpletely pressed down by Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de chopped out non-stop, and instantly released nine de shadows which covered the sky in a curtain of countless des whichpletely enveloped the youth surnamed Liu. ¡°How could I, an invincible Xiantian master, be defeated by you?¡± The youth surnamed Liu suddenly said in a frightened tone. He could not ept that he had actually beenpletely suppressed by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Boom!¡± The youth surnamed Liu had no way left to escape, and could only wait for Ye Xiwen¡¯s de to arrive. The terrifying strength of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ exploded and had actually erged to a frightening extent. The youth surnamed Liu was like a prey in the lion¡¯s den, waiting to get mutted. In spite of that, Ye Xiwen once again chopped out a brilliant ¡®Daomang¡¯ towards the youth surnamed Liu. (NT: ¡®Daomang¡¯ means ¡®de-tip¡¯) ¡ª¡ª (NT: Chapter 59 in few hours) Chapter 59 – Beheading a Xiantian Chapter 59 ¨C Beheading a Xiantian Ye Xiwen¡¯s de had be even more terrifying when he had used the Xiantian Zhen Qi along with his de skills. Liu had just entered into the Xiantian realm, but Ye Xiwen was not even a Xiantian expert, then how could he use Xiantian Zhen Qi so easily. Liu was shocked, because,pared to him, Ye Xiwen was more skilled at using the Xiantian Zhen Qi. But Ye Xiwen also knew that he was not a Xiantian expert like Liu, and his ability to recover the consumed Xiantian Zhen Qi was very slowpared to that of Liu. Even if he had converted 10% of his Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, but once exhausted, it would take a lot of time to recover. So, he didn¡¯t have the luxury of having a protracted fight with Liu. But obviously, Liu knew that this was the only weakness of Ye Xiwen, so he made up his mind to drag on this fight and keep on running until Ye Xiwen had fully exhausted his Xiantian Zhen Qi. Regarding those Zhang disciples, he simply didn¡¯t care whether they lived or died. To him, they were nothing more than sacrificing pawns, and as long as he could attain a Blood Yuan fruit, he wouldn¡¯t feel a thing even if they were to die. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de released a tyrannical Daoqi and his Xiantian Zhen Qi filled the air. He was not nning to drag this battle for too long and wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de was tyrannically powerful. Just from a look, it could be seen that Ye Xiwen¡¯s understanding of the de skills was far superior to that of Liu, although, both of them had practiced their de skills to the same level. Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoqi was simr to a storm and Liu¡¯s Daoqi was like a flickering candle in the wind, which could extinguish any moment. ¡°How can you be so strong?¡± The youth surnamed Liu said and he finally couldn¡¯t maintain the usual cold expression on his face and hisplexion had turned pale. The existence of a Houtian expert, who could actually have an upper hand while fighting a Xiantian master, was something iprehensible to him. He had never heard of such an incredible expert before. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t care why the other party was surprised, because he knew very well that he didn¡¯t have the luxury to waste anymore time. He needed to quickly finish this battle! ¡°Die!¡± Ye Xiwen chopped out an erged and extremely tyrannical ¡®New moon beheader¡¯ once again and nine de shadows fully enveloped the youth surnamed Liu. ¡°How is this possible? I am Liu Zhi and I am considered as a genius! Like hell I would die in such a damned ce. One day, I would enter into the ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ realm and be invincible!¡± The youth surnamed Liu roared and his ming de chopped out. ¡°Boom!¡± The de shadows clumped around Liu Zhi, and his movements were severely constricted by the long de of Ye Xiwen. Right then, Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes shed because he realized that this was the opportunity he was looking for. Ye Xiwen had been waiting for an opening like this and it had finally appeared. He was getting the upper hand and his n was to take advantage of Liu¡¯s constricted movements. His de chopped out and several de shadows obscured the sky where each of these de shadows was false, but also real at the same time. He had practiced ¡®New moon beheader¡¯ to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm and that had turned this attack into an extremely devastating one. This seemingly aimless and scattered de attack had put Liu Zhi in a very difficult situation. ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± A loud metal shing sound spread everywhere, apanied by an air-explosion. The area surrounding the two of them had be a forbidden death zone and none of the other disciples had dared to go closer. But they did not mind those two, because they themselves were busy in fighting with each other, although, their fighting level was way belowpared to the big fight of Liu Zhi and Ye Xiwen, but they still were the core disciples of Houtian eighth or ninth stage, and were fighting desperately in a life and death battle, where anyone could kill or get killed! Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡°Tyrant body technique¡± had also reached the firstyer of the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm, not only had his strength sessfully surpassed the strength of 99 Tigers, his body had also be insanely tough causing even his gestures to possess a terrifying strength. By practicing ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, one could attain the overbearing strength of a tyrant, and even a single physical attack from the practitioner would be devastating for the enemy. By practicing it, one could be overbearingly invincible. His de skill was already at the level of a sword overlord and he also possessed ¡°Tyrant Body Technique¡±. Having de skills of sword overlord and body strength of a tyrantplemented each other. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was tougherpared to that of Liu Zhi. Even his de skill had reached an ultimate level and was better than Liu Zhi¡¯s de skill. This had put Liu Zhi into an extremely difficult situation. Everyone was watching this fight and was somewhat astonished. Ye Xiwen was so insanely strong, that he hadpletely suppressed a Xiantian realm master, Liu Zhi, to such a pathetic state. Liu Zhi was extremely depressed! He never thought that a day like this woulde in his life, where he would be pressed down by a Houtian realm expert. ¡°Missing moon beheader, the first de!¡± Ye Xiwen finally yed his trump and his Daoqi directly rushed towards Liu Zhi. ¡°Boom!¡± Liu Zhi¡¯s terrifying Xiantian Zhen Qi merged with his de, which turned into a boundless Daoqi and swept across the de. ¡°The second de!¡± With a lightning speed, Ye Xiwen chopped out the second de. He constantly poured out his Xiantian Zhen Qi into his de to form a terrible Daoqi and it swept towards Liu Zhi. ¡°Boom!¡± Liu Zhi hand began to crack under the power of Missing moon beheader because the power present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack had increased to a terrifying level. ¡°Third de!¡± Ye Xiwen did not stop and chopped out yet another de, as if to capture the heaven and earth. ¡°Bang!¡± Liu Zhi¡¯s de instantly shattered under the terrifying force present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack. ¡°How is this possible, this can¡¯t be happening to me!¡± Liu Zhi yelled in a frightened voice and it seemed as if he hadpletely lost his mind out of fear. (NT: j¨©ng hu¨¡ng sh¨© cu¨° is an idiom which means ¡®to lose one¡¯s head out of fear¡¯) After seeing that Ye Xiwen had chopped out the fourth de, Liu Zhi suddenly shouted: ¡°No, you cannot kill me, I am ...¡± However, he did not get enough time to finish what he was trying to say because Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de had already chopped out the fourth de, and in a sh, Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying Daoqi instantly split him in half and his blood sttered everywhere. When Ye Xiwen suddenly chopped his de, his body¡¯s Xiantian Zhen Qi had beenpletely depleted in this attack. Since his inner state had not broken through to the Xiantian realm, so he didn¡¯t possess endless Xiantian Zhen Qi like Liu Zhi. The power of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ was significant and des were stacked together and were chopped out one after another, causing the total power to reach a terrifying level, but the degree of consumption of Zhen Qi would also rise proportionally. Initially, when Ye Xiwen was using his de attacks on Liu Zhi then his Xiantian Zhen Qi consumption was not that much, but when he chopped out the fourth de of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯, then all of the Xiantian Zhen Qi present in his body had been depleted. He could not even chop out the fifth de, and in the worst case scenario, if Liu Zhi had survived the fourth de attack, then he would have left with no other choice but to chop out the fifth de. And this fifth de attack would have contained only the Houtian Zhen Qi, reducing the attack power significantly. ¡°You ... you actually killed him!¡± Zhang Jingxin said in a terrified voice. He was shocked and looked unbelievably at Ye Xiwen, because he had not expected that Ye Xiwen would actually dare to kill Liu Zhi, ¡°Do you know who he is?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said, ¡°He intended to obstruct thispetition, so he got what he deserved.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 60 – The curtain drops Chapter 60 ¨C The curtain drops ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, ¡°He intended to obstruct thispetition, so he got what he deserved.¡± ¡°You, you, you, you will die, you have dared to actually kill him!¡± Zhang Jingxin said again and again. ¡°There is nothing to say, because he had iting.¡± At this time, Ye Feng substantially restrained his injuries and said. ¡°That idiot actually dared to enter the Blood Yuan Territory and assumed he would be invincible here?¡± Although Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School was only a branch of Yi Yuan Sect, but underestimating it would be a mistake. Many years ago, Yi Yuan School had been established on Qingfeng Mountain, and in these several years, it had sent many disciples to study in the Main Sect. Now, most of these disciples held very high positions, and this showed that Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School had a lot of strong backings, and Zhang family¡¯s situation was also simr, otherwise, how could a top ss treasure like Blood Yuan fruit, which could leave any Xiantian master drooling, be monopolized together by Yi Yuan School and Zhang family? ¡°Kill them, kill all of these cheaters!¡± Ye Feng shouted loudly, which boosted the morale of Yi Yuan disciples. And now that Liu Zhi had been killed by Ye Xiwen, they were no longer worried. However, Zhang disciples had suddenly lost their morale. ¡°How dare you! Our Zhang family will not let you off!¡± Zhang Jingxin roared. ¡°Won¡¯t let us off? Idiot, it was you Zhang people who conspired to seize all of the Blood Yuan fruits, and also brought this Xiantian master inside the Blood Yuan Territory, you have brought this upon yourselves!¡± Ye Feng sneered and said. This time, Zhang family had crossed the line and by bringing in a Xiantian master, they had also cheated in thepetition. Their n was to massacre the Yi Yuan School disciples and me it on the demon beasts. Also they had attacked Yi Yuan disciples after thepetition had officially ended. The exnation for their actions? There was no need for that, because both sides had been hostile towards each other for a long time and were sworn enemies. And the actions of Zhang family had totally agitated the hatred inside the hearts of Yi Yuan School disciples. Not to mention, Yi Yuan School disciples had a reason to attack so they didn¡¯t need to exin their actions! ¡°Right, kill these bastards!¡± ¡°Kill them, leave no one alive!¡± The disciples of Yi Yuan School roared in session. They had almost walked into the jaws of death, and knew that if Ye Xiwen had not taken care of Liu Zhi, then they most likely would have died at the hands of Zhang disciples. ¡°Kill these bastards and take revenge for our fellow brothers!¡± ¡°Before, many of our Yi Yuan disciples have died at the hands of these bastards, so it¡¯s time for payback!¡± ¡°Zhang disciples, disperse!¡± Zhang Yuelian quickly shouted. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± . . . . . . Zhang disciples had all been exterminated! No one thought that it would actually turn out like this! ¡°I did not expect it to be like this.¡± Zhang Yang said with some emotion in his voice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is apetition and casualties are inevitable. Moreover, this time, they dared to cheat and actually brought a Xiantian disciple inside.¡± Ye Feng said. ¡°But when Zhang family gets the information about this, they will probably not let us off.¡± Zhang Yang said. ¡°Are you afraid of Zhang family? Don¡¯t underestimate our Yi Yuan School.¡± Ye Feng said while smiling. ¡°However, from now on, I am afraid that the title of most powerful top disciple from the younger generation is no longer yours and has been taken away by your younger brother.¡± Zhang Yang said with a genuine smile on his face and looked at Ye Feng. Ye Feng had been a renowned genius from a younger age, and even if he had been stuck at the peak of Houtian eighth stage for several years, no one could shake his position as the top genius, and once he had a breakthrough, he had already entered half-a-step into the Xiantian realm. Bing a full-fledged Xiantian master was only a matter of time. ¡°Of course, that¡¯s my brother!¡± Ye Fengughed and said as if he did not care, ¡°Soon, we will together enter into the Main sect, and countless elites from the entire Great Yue Statee to study there. We are going to meet many genius evildoers over there ha ha ha, that is our stage!¡± ¡°I have a feeling that when your brother enters into the Main Sect, he is going to turn the sky and the earth upside down!¡± Zhang Yang said, ¡°He is such an evildoer! I heard that he was not this fierce during the inner disciplespetition, although he was quite powerful and had also won the championship, but I never thought that he would actually defeat a Xiantian master!¡± (NT: f¨¡n ti¨¡n f¨´ d¨¬ is an idiom and it means ¡®sky and the earth turned upside down¡¯; plete confusion¡¯) ¡°Ha ha ha, well, he is my younger brother after all.¡± Ye Fengughed and seemed very happy. Ye Xiwen did notugh like Ye Feng and was thinking about something else. For him, this fight with Liu Zhi was too meaningful, and was not an easy one like his fight with Luo Tian. When Ye Xiwen had killed Luo Tian before, he had already been severely injured by Hua Menghan, so it had be quite easy to behead him. However, the fight this time was different, and it could be counted as Ye Xiwen¡¯s first true battle with a Xiantian master. Even if Liu Zhi had only just entered into the Xiantian realm, but he was still a terrifying existence for Houtian realm masters. The Xiantian and Houtian realms were very different in nature, and the way of fighting was also different for the experts of these realms. Ye Xiwen had gained some insights from his battle with a Xiantian master and he wanted to start practicing as soon as possible andpletely digest the enlightenment he had attained. He believed that afterplete digestion, he would be able to condense a total of 20% Xiantian Zhen Qi. And then, he would be capable ofpletely beating any master of the Xiantian first stage. (NT: Here, Digest is used in the sense ofpletelyprehend and apply) By that time, Ye Xiwen would be considered to have set foot on path of the true martial way of spiritual practice, and even after entering into the Main Sect, he would have a high status and wouldn¡¯t be someone else¡¯s vassal. (NT: Disciples with low cultivation level are treated as ve disciples in the Main Sect) As for how to exit the Blood Yuan Territory, Ye Xiwen was not in a hurry. Since, Liu Zhi had just entered into the Xiantian realm strength, it was impossible at his meager strength to seal this dimension for too long. He must have used some external means that won¡¯tst longer. Anyways, soon the two elders of Yi Yuan School would find out about this abnormal situation, and would immediately open the Blood Yuan Territory forcefully. Therefore, Ye Xiwen was not in a hurry, but Yi Yuan School disciples didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately rushed to pick off all of the Blood Yuan fruits from the Blood Yuan trees. After all, the most important thing, which had caused all of this blood-shed, was the Blood Yuan fruit and they were prepared to face even the great Zhang family for the sake of these fruits! Sometimeter, in the distant sky, the space began to fluctuate like ripples on the water surface, apanied with a loud rumbling sound, and in the sky, a huge door opened up and four figures jumped in. The first two elders to enter the Blood Yuan Territory were the short and tall elders of the Zhang family. Even from far, Ye Xiwen could clearly see the prideful smile on their faces, but after seeing the scene inside the Blood Yuan Territory, theirplexion immediately turned gloomy. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 61 – Confrontation Chapter 61 ¨C Confrontation The first two elders to enter the Blood Yuan Territory were the short and tall elders of the Zhang family. Even from far, Ye Xiwen could clearly see the prideful smile on their faces, but after seeing the scene inside the Blood Yuan Territory, theirplexion immediately turned gloomy. ¡°How did this happen to the disciples of my Zhang family!¡± The tall elder said while skimming down from the sky. At this time, his gaze fell on the Yi Yuan School disciples, standing on the ground and he quickly understood who might have caused all this. He suddenly got furious and shouted: ¡°You little bastards, you actually massacred the people of my Zhang family!¡± The aura of the tall elder instantly scattered out and spread into the sky. This terrifying imposing aura was firmly locked onto the Yi Yuan School disciples. ¡°Well, well, well, the disciples of your Yi Yuan School are simply insane!¡± The short elder roared in an angry voice. ¡°I will kill all of you and bury you all along with my people!¡± The tall elder shouted. ¡°Bastards, you two old animals, you won¡¯t dare toy your hands on my Yi Yuan School disciples!¡± Another loud voice thundered. Both fat and thin elders released their terrifying auras and a murderous look appeared on their faces. ¡°You two old bastards are trying to cover for your Yi Yuan School disciples?¡± The tall elder furiously said. ¡°They massacred the disciples of our Zhang family, so I will kill them all and take revenge.¡± The tall elder said bitterly. ¡°Take a hike!¡± The thin elder shouted, ¡°Zhang Quan, Zhang Ping, you two bastards, don¡¯t you dare hurt my Yi Yuan School disciples!¡± The tall elder Zhang Quan shouted: ¡°I don¡¯t care, I want them dead!¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± The fat elder shouted loudly and immediately rushed over to where Ye Xiwen and Ye Feng were standing and asked, ¡°What on earth happened here?¡± The fat elder did not expect that things would be this troublesome, although casualties were inevitable in a fiercepetition like this, but Zhang disciples had beenpletely wiped out, which had totally shocked him. The strength of this year¡¯s core disciples of Zhang family and Yi Yuan School was about the same. So, theplete destruction of one party at the hands of other was almost impossible. ¡°These Zhang bastards actually ...¡± The disciples of Yi Yuan School quickly talked at once and exined what happened in detail. As the fat elder was listening, his face suddenly became livid. The other three elders also heard, and suddenly, theirplexions also became strange. ¡°So, your Zhang family is the reason behind all of this. You deliberately let a Xiantian mastere in, what were you trying to do?¡± The thin elder snapped. ¡°They actually dared to send a Xiantian master inside the Blood Yuan Territory, and also tried to ambush Yi Yuan School disciples, in order to seize all of the Blood Yuan fruits. Their crime is really unforgivable!¡± The thin elder also had a lingering fear, because both elders Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping had be even more furious and it would be difficult to stop them from hurting the disciples if they used their full strengths. ¡°You will regret it.¡± Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You will pay the price.¡± ¡°What regret? This time, you should regret it because this matter is not over yet, and when the timees, we wille for you and settle the score!¡± The fat elder sneered. Suddenly, both elders Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping were aggrieved after learning about the heavy losses Zhang family had faced this time! ¡°This is your side of the story, because if we really had sneaked in a Xiantian master then all of you should be dead by now.¡± Zhang Ping quibbled, ¡°Let me see!¡± Zhang Ping instantly spread out his hand that was surrounded by the rapidly building lingqi which finally condensed into a giant hand, and instantly shot down towards Ye Xiwen. Zhang Ping eyes shed fiercely and were filled with killing intent, staring at Ye Xiwen. ¡°How dare you?¡± Both fat and thin elders yelled at once. The giant hand had instantlye in front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen instantly took out the long de from the scabbard on his back. His long de shined brightly and a white delight spread into the sky, then it took the form of a de and chopped out towards Zhang Ping. (NT: delight is said ¡®Daoguang¡¯) ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying delight and the great hand made up of lingqi severely collided in the air which filled the entire sky with starlight. Zhang Ping suddenly screamed while holding his hand. A big deep wound had been cut open on his hand, and his blood had started to pour out, that looked like a spring of blood. He had let his guard down for only an instant, but he had still been injured by Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoqi. Immediately, with a sinister look on his face, his eyes stared firmly at Ye Xiwen. However, he could clearly feel that Ye Xiwen was just a master of the Houtian realm, but how did his attack actually injure a great master of Xiantian realm? His deqi clearly contained Xiantian Zhen Qi, but how could a Houtian realm master possess Xiantian Zhen Qi. And, his Xiantian Zhen Qi was also powerful enough to injure a senior Xiantian master. But Ye Xiwen clearly was only a warrior of the Houtian realm. Seeing that Ye Xiwen had taken advantage of Zhang Ping¡¯s carelessness and had actually inured him, the thin elder suddenlyughed and said: ¡°Zhang Ping, you old fool. You actually got injured by a junior from our Yi Yuan School. You are so pathetic!¡± Zhang Ping bitterly looked at Ye Xiwen, but he knew not to attack again because both fat and thin elders had be cautious. He would probably have to face their thunder attacks if he tried to attack again, although all of the four elders had simr strengths, but Ye Xiwen was an anomaly because Zhang Ping had been unable to figure out the true depth of his strength. The presence of Ye Xiwen had shifted the bnce of strength towards the Yi Yuan School¡¯s side. After this farce, the four elders didn¡¯t doubt anymore and epted that Ye Xiwen had killed a Xiantian master, but were also quite shocked, because it was truly unbelievable. How could a Xiantian master die at the hands of Ye Xiwen, who was only a master of the Houtian realm? But, Ye Xiwen had just showed his incredible prowess by catching off guard and injuring Zhang Ping. Not to mention, Zhang Ping was a superior Xiantian masterpared to Liu Zhi. At this time, Zhang Quan grinded his teeth and said: ¡°Now, we know that Ye Xiwen has killed Liu Zhi, so we do not want anything else, as long as you hand over Ye Xiwen to us, we will not pursue this matter anymore.¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± The fat elder sneered and said, ¡°This time, your people were the first to vite the regtions, and you want to punish a disciple of my Yi Yuan School? Don¡¯t be so delusional! Just wait till we inform your ancestor about all this!¡± ¡°This time you have to hand over Ye Xiwen to us, otherwise our Zhang family won¡¯t let you off, because Liu Zhi was the disciple of our Tianfeng Pce hall¡¯s great elder!¡± Zhang Quan said. ¡°Did not you hear what I just said? They had dared to conspire for Blood Yuan fruit, hmph, they really were courting death.¡± The fat elder said. At this time, the space inside the Blood Yuan Territory once again started to fluctuate. ¡ª- (NT: I may or may not release chapter 62 and chapter 63 today) Chapter 62 – Rewards Chapter 62 ¨C Rewards With a violent fluctuation in the space, a person walked out of the door from the sky. Everyone looked at this person and actually saw that it was none other than the ancestor of Yi Yuan School, Lin Zhantian. Lin Zhantian step by step came down from the sky and walked to the front of Zhang Ping and Zhang Quan then said: ¡°Go back and tell the master of your family that this matter has not ended yet. Later, I will personally give him a visit and sort this out.¡± Lin Zhantian had easily sorted out this mess. He had clearly proimed that this matter was not over yet and taking Ye Xiwen away was obviously impossible for the Zhang elders. The faces of Zhang Ping and Zhang Quan flushed with anger, but they didn¡¯t say anything because they were scared to anger Lin Zhantian. The cultivation level of Lin Zhantian was unfathomable, and no one could ascertain as to how much extent he had cultivated. After the unexpected emergence of Lin Zhantian, all of the Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciples felt relieved. They feltpletely safe in their hearts because even if the two Zhang elders were to suddenly get mad and attack, nothing bad would happen to them in presence of Lin Zhantian. Everyone had extraordinary confidence in Lin Zhantian, and even Ye Xiwen was no exception. After Lin Zhantian had arrived, Ye Xiwen had finally rxed his tightened body a bit. The reputation of Lin Zhantian as the most powerful master of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School had never wavered for many years. Several years ago, he had arrived here from the Main Sect, and at that time, the Lord of Zhang family had challenged him to a duel and had lost miserably. Although, their duel had been kept secret from public but people of Yi Yuan School knew about it, after all, it was such an honorable feat. Only the outer sect disciples did not know. But, all of the disciples present here were core disciples, so naturally they knew about it. Lin Zhantian was known as the strongest ancestor to evere in the history of Yi Yuan School. In the end, no one knew how strong he actually was. Many years ago, he had arrived on the Qingfeng Mountain and miserably defeated the master of Zhang family. But, this had happened several years ago, and it was hard to make a guess about how much his cultivation would have progressed in these many years. Although, Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t guess the depth of Lin Zhantian¡¯s true cultivation, but just now, when he saw him easily walking high up in the sky, Ye Xiwen realized that perhaps, Lin¡¯s strength had already reached a terrifying level. (NT: l¨ªng k¨­ng means ¡®to be high up in the sky¡¯) Even the experts of Xiantian level couldn¡¯t easily achieve such a feat of walking high in the sky, and that too in such a rxed manner. Actual flight was something that only the masters above the Xiantian level could achieve! (NT: Xiantian masters couldn¡¯t fly as easily as Lin Zhantian could) Lin Zhantian didn¡¯t say anything else to Zhang Ping and Zhang Quan and simply arrived to Ye Xiwen¡¯s side with a bit of a smile on his face and said: ¡°Good, this time you have performed wonderfully and didn¡¯t lose your father¡¯s face.¡± Then, Lin Zhantian, with the crowd of disciples and two elders, went straight back to the Yi Yuan School and all of them returned to the main hall of Yi Yuan School¡¯s ancestor. Lin Zhantian looked at the disciples of Yi Yuan School and said: ¡°I learned about the things that happened there in Blood Yuan Territory, but your scores are still valid and now, the winners will be selected based on these scores. The top three can each win a Blood Yuan fruit and a Xiantian Pellet as the rewards. The rest can also have the rewards prepared for you!¡± Ye Xiwen was dumbstruck. He knew that the first three were going to receive a Blood Yuan fruit each. But, regarding Xiantian Pellet, Lin Zhantian had just added it as the reward for the top scorers, and was definitely apensation for the incidents that took ce in Blood Yuan Territory, but he already had a Xiantian Pellet, so getting another was not too meaningful to him! Lin Zhantian hade up with three Xiantian Pellets so easily, but Ye Xiwen did not feel strange about this matter, after all, he was the ancestor of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯ Yi Yuan School and he also had the backing of ¡®Main Sect¡¯. There were a lot of masters of Xiantian level or more studying at the ¡®Main Sect¡¯, so giving out three Xiantian Pellets at once was not something impossible. Soon, the scores had been calcted. Ye Xiwen had scored the highest score of neen thousand points. Ye Feng got the second best score of six thousand five hundred points, and Zhang Yang got the third best score of five thousand three hundred points. Ye Ruxue was ranked twelfth, which was quite a surprising for Ye Xiwen. Even if she had participated in thispetition with a lot of Houtian ninth stage masters, she had still managed to get a good enough rank. However, ording to Ye Xiwen¡¯s observation, it was only a matter of time before she would actually break through to the Houtian ninth stage. They were going to enter into the ¡®Main sect¡¯ after three months. These three months were enough for Ye Ruxue to break into the Houtian ninth stage, and even improve a lot. She was only twenty years old, and an year older than Ye Xiwen but had already practiced to this extent, and this proved that her talent was not inferior to Ye Feng. (NT: I had written ¡®two years older than Ye Xiwen¡¯ which was a typo and it actually should be ¡®twenty years old and one year older than Ye Xiwen¡¯) Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation pace was very fast because he was relying on ¡®Special Space¡¯. Without it, his talent was not at allparable to his two older siblings. Ye Xiwen had already made up his mind that he would give the extra Xiantian Pellet that he had to Ye Ruxue, because he did not need two Xiantian Pellets. With the help of Xiantian Pellet, and her natural talent, the future progress of her cultivation would be incredibly fast. As the top scorer, Ye Xiwen was the first to receive the rewards. A Blood Yuan fruit, a Xiantian Pellet, fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, and an opportunity to learn a Xiantian power technique, as well as arge number of medicinal pills! The rewards he had got were far more than what he had expected. Now, Ye Xiwen did not need to worry about shortage of spirit stones in the near future and could easily practice for long intervals inside the ¡®Special Space¡¯. The most important thing was that the Blood Yuan fruit was something even the Xiantian masters were envious of. Only nine fruits matured in a period of 100 years and even Xiantian masters had to spend half of their lives waiting. The value of a Blood Yuan fruit was immense in the eyes of Xiantian masters, because, as long as they were in the Xiantian realm, eating a Blood Yuan fruit would be able to immediately enhance their cultivation, regardless of which stage they were on. Although, a Blood Yuan fruit was not of any use to the masters above the Xiantian realm, however, it was very beneficial to be the ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ master of Xiantian realm. But, then why had it not been taken away from the hands of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School and Zhang family in all these years? Although, Xiantian Pellets weren¡¯t rare inside the Yi Yuan School, but there was no doubt that it was very precious. A Xiantian Pellet didn¡¯t have any side effects and would not affect the future cultivation of the expert. This was the reason why this pellet was so well-known, but unfortunately, it was only useful to promote an expert at the peak of Houtian ninth stage to the Xiantian realm. ¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: I won¡¯t make any promises, but you may expect chapter 63 in few hours :P) Chapter 63 – Coiling Dragon Palm Chapter 63 ¨C ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡· (NT: This technique can also be called ¡¶Panlong Palm¡·) But even so, it could be said that Xiantian Pellet was a very precious treasure! But Ye Xiwen already had a Xiantian Pellet, and now, he was in a possession of two, which was redundant for him! Ye Xiwen and the other two winners had got free ess to the secret books library and could learn a Xiantian level power technique, which was a very precious opportunity for them. Needless to say, Xiantian level power techniques were very precious, and if he could learn a Xiantian power technique, then, his fighting prowess could greatly improve. After the three winners had received their rewards, Lin Zhantian said: ¡°The three of youe with me. We will go to the secret books library to choose Xiantian Power techniques for all of you!¡± Ye Xiwen and the other two followed Lin Zhantian and arrived at the secret books library. The three followed him inside, all the way to the top floor of the library where,pared to the huge number of books on the lower floors, only 20 books were present. However, Ye Xiwen knew very well that these few books were far more preciouspared to the books on the lower floors. ¡°The three of you are our Yi Yuan School¡¯s most outstanding disciples of this year.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°You are the three top disciples of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School, but, Qingfeng Mountain is located in the remote regions of Great Yue State, and you must know that countless geniuses gather to study at the Main Sect, where you are going to study in three months!¡± All three were quietly listening to Lin Zhantian¡¯s exnation, and did not refute. Indeed, Main Sect was a ce where even masters of the Houtian ninth stage could only be outer disciples, and those with their cultivation level lower than the Houtian ninth stage could only be regarded as Zayi disciples. (NT: Zayi means handyman; part-time worker) The criterion to enter into the Main Sect was very lenient. Main Sect allowed entry to the masters of Houtian seventh stage or above, but no one would enter before they had already reached the Houtian ninth stage because they were not stupid. Although the status of outer sect disciples was not high, but it was still better than that of the Zayi disciples, and most importantly, the resources avable at the sub-schools were nowhere near the vast resources avable at the Main Sect. It was easier for the outer sect disciples of Main Sect to advance to the Xiantian realm, and this is the reason why, every year, the sub-schools would send their talented core disciples to practice in the Main Sect. For many years, the Main Sect had be a base for the talented disciples, sent by these sub-schools, to study and cultivate. Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School was just one of the many Yi Yuan sub-schools located at different ces. A few monthster, several geniuses from the Great Yue State would gather at one ce and practice together. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t help but feel excited about this. ¡°ording to the news I received, a lot of sub-schools are sending Xiantian masters to enter into the Main Sect.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°This time, they have trained some peerless geniuses, and Main Sect is going to get flooded with many geniuses. That is the reason why I had agreed to Zhang family¡¯s proposal to have the core disciplespetition in the Blood Yuan Territory so that, you all can have some life and death battle experiences and benefit from it.¡± Xiantian master! All three of them were shocked to hear that. Ye Feng and Zhang Yang were at the peak of Houtian ninth, and Ye Feng had also entered half-a-step into the Xiantian realm, so, they naturally knew more than anyone that how much difficult it actually was to break into the Xiantian realm. And even after entering half-a-step into the Xiantian realm, Ye Feng would still need to prepare because there would be a lot of stronger people studying in the Main Sect. Although, after entering into the Main Sect, they would be able to quickly advance to the Xiantian realm, but thanks to the Main Sect before or after entering into the Xiantian nature or a great difference. Although Ye Xiwen was not at peak of Houtian ninth stage, but his fighting power could bepared with a Xiantian master, and after fighting and defeating one, he had finally understood what sort of power and presence a Xiantian master held in the world of martial arts. No wonder, Lin Zhantian had given them such generous rewards! ¡°Right now, you three have the chance to enter into the Xiantian realm in a short span of time, and therefore, I decided to give Xiantian Pellets to all of you. In the next few months, when you must have to try your best andpletely break through to the Xiantian realm, and at that time, these Xiantian Pellets would help you to safely enter into the Xiantian realm!¡± Lin Zhantian said without hiding anything. Competition was present everywhere! There was apetition between Zhang family and Yi Yuan School, but it was just apetition between two sub-schools. Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School was one of the patrons of Main Sect and so, it also had a lot of rival schools and they also used to send disciples to study in Main Sect. The disciples of these rival schools would always have violent fights after entering into the Main Sect. ¡°Each of you can also choose a Xiantian level power technique!¡± Lin Zhantian said and it was clear that his n all along was to help them in rapidly enhancing their strengths in a short time. ¡°Yes!¡± Three of them nodded together, and they also knew that after entering into the Main Sect, things won¡¯t be so peaceful over there. ¡°Good, I have told you everything, now quickly go and choose a Xiantian power technique!¡± Lin Zhantian said. The contest between several sub-schools actually included the contest among the top geniuses representing their sub-schools, and the overall strength of the current year¡¯s batch. Ye Xiwen and other two didn¡¯t wait and began to choose a Xiantian powerful technique. Some of these techniques were powerful and some were weak, but all of them were top ss Xiantian power techniques, and ranking them was very difficult. ¡°Thunder and lightning chain spear!¡± ¡°Floating cotton de!¡± . . . Ye Xiwen looked at the Xiantian secret books one after another, but he couldn¡¯t find a suitable one for him. Suddenly, Ye Xiwen caught a glimpse of a bit older secret book, quietly lying in the corner. ¡°Coiling Dragon palm¡± These threerge characters, printed on its cover, came into the sight of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen then walked over to the corner and picked up that old secret book. He slowly opened its first page but suddenly, a loud shout from Lin Zhantian entered his ears: ¡°Don¡¯t open the book!¡± But Ye Xiwen had already opened it. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen suddenly heard a loud roar of a gigantic dragon and a scary thought instantly break into his mind. Suddenly, a huge figure of a person appeared inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind. This figure was fuzzy and didn¡¯t seem real, but suddenly, the figure shot out its palm, and a gigantic blue dragon ascended into the sky. It looked up towards the sky and roared loudly, while its powerful ws fiercely grabbed the blue dome of heaven, which seemed to crack under its tremendous strength. (NT: c¨¡ng qi¨®ng is an idiom which means ¡®the blue dome of heaven¡¯) Ye Xiwen simply felt that his entire mind would get ripped apart by this gigantic blue dragon, and his psyche would copse. Each time the giant palm shot, it seemed to contain the divine providence itself, and brandished a gigantic dragon. By this time, a flock of gigantic dragons were soaring in the sky. Ye Xiwen felt as if his mind would copse anytime. Then, suddenly, within his mind, a burst of intermittent colorful lights appeared inside the mysterious space andpletely absorbed all of these scary thoughts. Ye Xiwen slowly opened his eyes while panting heavily and covered in cold sweat. ¡°Are you all right?¡± Lin Zhantian immediately arrived in front of Ye Xiwen and asked in a worried tone. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I am all right.¡± Ye Xiwen said with a burst of lingering fear. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 64 – Rapid advancement in cultivation Chapter 64 ¨C Rapid advancement in cultivation Ye Xiwen was sweating heavily after that scary thought had attacked his consciousness and had almost destroyed his mind. This was quite a terrifying experience for him. ¡°Are you alright little brother?¡± Ye Feng asked in a worried voice because he did not know what exactly had happened to Ye Xiwen. He just saw Lin Zhantian shouting and suddenly rushing towards Ye Xiwen, who was drenched in sweat and looked terrified at that moment. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I am alright!¡± Ye Xiwen said in a calm voice, however, that vivid thought had firmly imprinted itself into his mind and it had be impossible for him to forget it. ¡°me me.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°I did not warn you in time but you cannot read this secret book of ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡·!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°A long time ago, our forefathers had brought back this ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡· power technique from the ruins of a suspected Ancient Martial Arts Era!¡± Lin Zhantian slowly exined. ¡°Ancient Martial Arts Era!¡± All of the three disciples eximed at once. In ancient times, there existed an extremely glorious martial arts civilization, and now, only a few bits and pieces of that era had remained. The once glorious era of martial arts had now just turned into a legend. ¡°Yes, this power techniquees from the Ancient Martial Arts Era, but after obtaining it from the ruins, no one could actually learn it, because this type of martial arts technique is inherited and learned through thoughts, and no one could withstand the immensity of that thought!¡± Lin Zhantian exined, ¡°It contains a mighty writing and the method to learn this technique is hidden as a thought between the lines. Long ago, a lot of our ancestors had tried to inherit this martial arts technique, but in the end, the thought present inside this secret book had destroyed their souls and killed them. After a long time, no one paid attention to it anymore and it finally fell into my hands. I brought it here, but due to a temporary oversight, I was distracted and forgot to warn you kids about it. Fortunately all three of you are all right!¡± Ye Xiwen had a burst of lingering fear, because just now, his soul might have been torn apart by that terrifying thought and his mind would havepletely copsed. If this thought had not been sucked inside the mysterious space, then he would definitely have faced a mental breakdown and death by now. The thought was really too frightening, and no one knew who had created or passed down this incredible martial arts technique. But, it contained just hand written text, then how could it actually contain such a terrifying thought, hidden among the text and even the passage of innumerable years couldn¡¯t erase it. From this, one could easily infer the incredible prowess of the creator of this book. ¡°You can¡¯t learn this martial arts technique! You absolutely cannot, so give it up.¡± Lin Zhantian said. Ye Xiwen nodded and didn¡¯t argue with Lin Zhantian, but he also knew that the terrifying thought had been absorbed into the mysterious space. Later, if he wanted to take a look at it, he could do it any time so he didn¡¯t need to argue over something that he had already acquired. Ye Xiwen kept the secret book of ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡· on the shelf, and chose another power technique called ¡¶Restraining breath technique¡·. Although a lot of power techniques, more or less, mentioned about how to hide one¡¯s breath. However this power technique specialized in the field, not to mention, it was also a Xiantian level technique. (NT: ¡®Hiding breath¡¯ means to hide one¡¯s cultivation level) Others were surprised because they couldn¡¯t understand why Ye Xiwen had not chosen an attack type Xiantian power technique, but rather, he chose such a technique that would be useless for fighting. However, they did not know that Ye Xiwen had already learned many fighting based Xiantian level power techniques, and if he was to choose one more, it would be equivalent to biting off more than he could chew. After each of the three winners had chosen a power technique, the core disciplespetition had finallye to an end, and whole Yi Yuan School had be noisy, talking about the recent incidents. The news of Zhang family sending a Xiantian master inside the Blood Yuan Territory, to massacre the Yi Yuan School disciples and seize all of the Blood Yuan fruits, had spread throughout the school, but no one would have thought that this Xiantian master had been killed instead, along with all of the other Zhang core disciples. Overnight, the news spread in the Yi Yuan School like a forest fire, and the headline clearly referred to Ye Xiwen¡¯s exploits and how he had single-handedly beheaded a Xiantian disciple. Now, everyone knew that Ye Xiwen had actually beheaded a Xiantian disciple of Zhang family. In a short period of time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s reputation had incredibly surpassed that of those established top disciples of previous years and many disciples had started to recognize him as the strongest top core disciple. However, when there was uproar in the outside world, and everyone was talking about the exploits of Ye Xiwen, but he seemed to have vanished and no one could find him. After choosing a Xiantian power technique, Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t waste time and shut himself up to start the closed-door practice. He was going to the Main Sect after three months, so while he still had time, each second of it was valuable for practicing, because he needed to be strong enough to sustain himself among the geniuses who were also going to enroll with Ye Xiwen. After entering into the Main Sect, thepetition would be even more intense. In a blink of an eye, a month¡¯s time had already passed. In the backside of Qingfeng Mountain, the intermittent loud roars of a Dragon could be heard echoing in the sky. Ye Xiwen had a calm expression on his face and suddenly, his palm shot out, and a figure, with its hands sped together, leaped inside the mountain forest using ¡®Dragon Tiger steps¡¯. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud sound, arge tree instantly copsed by a forceful p of Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm using ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡·. Ye Xiwen stopped his movements, and calcted the time and found out that he had been practicing over a month. In just a month, his strength had progressed by leaps and bounds! His cultivation had reached all the way to the peak of Houtian ninth stage and was only one step away from entering into the Xiantian realm. He had also condensed 20% of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi, and his strength had directly reached the strength of 3 Dragons which was evenparable to the strength of a Xiantian second stage master. Now, Ye Xiwen had be powerful enough to easily defeat a Xiantian expert like Liu Zhi, in few moves only. Also, during this month, Ye Xiwen had gained the most progress in his martial arts techniques, and for that, he had to burn arge number of spirit stones to advance his martial art skills, faster in a short span of time. The first was ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯. After a month of crazy practicing, he had finally seeded to reach the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm and now, he could strike nine consecutive des one after the other which was big feat even for a Xiantian master. And chopping nine consecutive des was the dead end for ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯, but, with the strike of each additional de, the total might of the attack would also increase significantly and after nine consecutive de strikes, one could imagine the terrifying might present in the ninth de. After a month of continuously burning the spirit stones, his ¡¶Celestial step¡· technique had also reached the next level. Initially, this technique was iplete and could only be regarded as an advanced technique. At that time, Ye Xiwen had practiced it to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm, butter, inside the ¡®Special Space¡¯, hepletely deduced the missing ¡®Xiantian realm¡¯ parts of ¡¶Celestial step¡·. Although, he had merely mastered the first glimpse of Xiantian realm parts, but now, his speed had increased by more than 50% of what it used to be. It could be said that his speed had increased to a terrifying level. While practicing ¡¶Tyrant body technique¡·, he had finally reached the peak of ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm, and was only one step away from entering into the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm, and once he did, his physical strength would grow rapidly. Lastly, he hadpletely practiced ¡¶Restraining breath technique¡· to its highest possible level. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 65 – Departure Chapter 65 ¨C Departure Afterpletely mastering the ¡¶Restraining breath technique¡·, now, even if he stood next to a master of the peak Houtian ninth stage, his breath would not be discovered. And so long as he was careful enough, he had full confidence to pull a fast one on a Xiantian master. Ye Xiwen also discovered that the utility of ¡¶Restraining breath technique¡· was far more than just restraining the breath. It could even change the breath of the practitionerpletely into another person¡¯s breath, which was very rare. (NT: This technique could manipte the cultivation level) He had spent a lot of time on practicing ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡· and had also burnt arge number of spirit stones so that he could continue to stay inside the ¡®Special Space¡¯ present in his mind. That scary thought had been absorbed by the ¡®Special Space¡¯ and now, he could practice ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡· as and when he wished to do so, because inside that mysterious space, he did not need to be worried about that scary thought going berserk inside his mind. So long as he had time and enough spirit stones, Ye Xiwen could observe and emte this ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡· technique, but it was too subtle and his cultivation level was too low to be able to fullyprehend it. After a month of continuous burning of spirit stones, he had begun toprehend only a section of that thought and had learnt the first move of ¡¶Coiling Dragon Palm¡·, named ¡®Hidden Dragon rising from the Abyss¡¯. The power present in the move, ¡®Hidden Dragon rising from the Abyss¡¯, was tremendous but it came at a major cost, because once used, it would consume 10% of the Xiantian Zhen Qi instantly. This month, the strength of Ye Xiwen had progressed extremely fast, enough to surpass the rate of consumption of spirit stones. In just a month, to practice inside the ¡®Special Space¡¯, he had consumed more than 50,0000 spirit stones, which was more than half of his total stock of spirit stones. Although, he had not yet entered into the Xiantian realm, but now, he was confident enough to beat any master of the Xiantian first stage and he could evenpete with the masters of Xiantian second stage and could easily exchange blows with them. After continuously practicing for a month, Ye Xiwen did not continue to stay in the backside of Qingfeng Mountain and returned to the Yi Yuan School. ¡°What! You are going to walk alone to the Main Sect?¡± At the Ye family¡¯s residence, the members of Ye family were sitting on a dinner table and suddenly, Xia Chunxue eximed. With a puzzled expression on his face, Ye Kongming looked at Ye Xiwen, because he couldn¡¯t understand why Ye Xiwen had nned to walk all the way to the Main Sect. ¡°Do you know how long it takes to walk from Qingfeng Mountain to Main Sect?¡± Xia Chunxue asked, ¡°At least more than two months if you walk at a moderate pace.¡± ¡°I know, but my cultivation has reached a bottleneck and I think that walking all the way to the Main Sect would turn out to be a good training for me.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Generally, Main Sect would always send giant demon birds to serve as mounts for the disciples. These flying mounts were not umon in the Main Sect, especially for those Xiantian masters, who were unable to fly and these demon birds acted as their mounts to fly in the sky. There were a variety of mounts avable, such as; to fly in the sky, to run on the ground and to swim in the water. These flying demon birds also served as amunication link between the Qingfeng Mountain and the Main Sect. Therefore, although they were going to enter into the Main Sect in just three months, but Ye Feng and other core disciples were not anxious and were quietly waiting for the people from Main Sect toe and pick them up. Ye Kongming looked at Ye Xiwen then turned his face towards Xia Chunxue and said: ¡°If he wants to go alone, then let him go. He will gain a lot of experience from this journey and he will also get a chance to learn about the local customs which will be quite beneficial for his future practice.¡± ¡°But going by the road can be dangerous!¡± Xia Chunxue said in a worried voice. ¡°Kids need to have their own adventures because you can¡¯t expect a circus tiger to hunt in a wild forest. Wen¡¯er is not a kid anymore and we can¡¯t protect him for a lifetime.¡± Ye Kongming said. ¡°Well, but you have to be very careful on the way.¡± Xia Chunxue said. ¡°En, I will!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, and then he took out a porcin vase from his bosom and said, ¡°This is a Xiantian Pellet. When the timees, please give it to sister for me.¡± At that time, both Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue were doing closed-door practice in order to have a breakthrough before heading for the Main Sect. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Xiantian Pellet yours? How can you give it your sister!¡± Xia Chunxue immediately said. ¡°What will you use?¡± ¡°Rest assured, I have two Xiantian Pellets.¡± Ye Xiwen said, and he knew that it was very difficult for them to believe him so he took out the other Xiantian Pellet in front of them. ¡°Then, it¡¯s all right.¡± Xia Chunxue had to agree. Both Xia Chunxue and Ye Kongming were considerate enough to not ask about the source of this second Xiantian Pellet. At that time, they were both d for Ye Ruxue, because now, with the help of a Xiantian Pellet, she would be able to safely enter into the Xiantian realm. They were very happy, because all of their children loved as well as supported each other. The three siblings would support each other after entering into the Main Sect, just knowing this much was enough for Ye Kongming and Xia Chunxue and they couldn¡¯t ask for anything more. They just wanted their children to lead happy and peaceful lives! When Xia Chunxue epted the Xiantian Pellet for Ye Ruxue, a genuine smile appeared on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face. Aftering to this world, he had lost all of his previous rtionships. His loved ones had been left behind in the previous world and now, everything rted to his original world existed only in his memories. So, the existence of Ye family worked as a mental support for him and he was genuinely happy to be of some help to them. Aftering to this world, Ye Xiwen had totally freaked out when he noticed that he possessed memories of two persons. In order to get rid of this confused mental state, he had decided to create a new identity for him in this new life and world. And, he cared a lot for his family members and could do anything for their sake. Ye Xiwen¡¯s decision to walk alone all the way to the Main Sect had caused a huge buzz in the Yi Yuan School because he was not an ordinary disciple, but was a rare talent of Yi Yuan School because he had be the strongest top core disciple after killing a Xiantian master. He had be the ace of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School and if he would walk alone to the Main Sect then everyone feared, that he might face an ident on the way. Moreover, Yi Yuan School had many enemies, including Zhang family, and they could pose a threat to his life. However, the principle of this world was ¡®Might is Right¡¯! While executives did not quite agree to his decision, but Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t care about their stand and had already decided that, next morning, after packing his things, he would leave Qingfeng Mountain and walk towards the Main Sect. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 66 – Blue Flaming flower Chapter 66 ¨C Blue ming flower The sun was setting in the western sky and one could hear a burst of hoofs. The sunlight had drawn a long shadow of the person riding on a horse. On a horse, a teenager d in ck clothes was rapidly riding on the main road. While riding the horse on the main road, a small town appeared in Ye Xiwen¡¯s field of vision. Since leaving the Qingfeng Mountain, he had already travelled for two days on the main road. In the Qingfeng town, he had bought a fast horse for five hundred low-grade spirit stones and this was no ordinary horse, because it carried the blood of a demon beast in its body. There was arge distance between Qingfeng Mountain and Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect and took about two months to cover this distance by road and an ordinary horse would die before covering even one tenth of this distance! For Ye Xiwen, amon horse was just not enough! He was a strong expert with Xiantian level skills in his body. He could go without eating and sleeping for days, but that was not the case formon horses, however, this horse contained the blood of a demon beast in its body, increasing its endurance and making it two times faster at the same time, so now, Ye Xiwen did not need to spend all his time on the road and could stop and practice as well whenever he wanted to do so. Ye Xiwen entered this small town and asked around to find out that this town was called Caojiaji and Cao family had the biggest influence in this town, to such an extent that the entire town relied on the businesses owned by Cao family. Ye Xiwen also discovered that there were many warriors of varying strengths going in and out of the town. The weakest among them were at the Houtian sixth stage and powerful warriors had already entered half-a-step into the Xiantian realm and some were even the masters of Xiantian realm. He found an inn to settle down and found a ce for the horse as well. He wanted to have dinner so he took a seat in the dining hall of the inn, and a waiter came forward to give him a warm wee. ¡°Sir, what can I do for you?¡± ¡°First, give me a bowl of herbal tea and a variety of side dishes along with it.¡± Ye Xiwen ced the order. To hasten his journey, he didn¡¯t have time to eat and won¡¯t always get proper time and ce to rx and have dinner. ¡°Right away!¡± The waiter replied. ¡°Waiter, wait for a second, I have something to ask you. Is something going on in the Caojiaji town? I see a lot of warriors wandering around here.¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Sir, have you not enlisted yet?¡± The waiter said in a surprised voice, ¡°Well, in the radius of thirty Li, our Caojiaji town is located on an underground magma pool, and recently, someone found the Blue ming flower in a dormant volcano. The news about it spread wide and far and attracted many warriors. Two days ago, the lord of our Cao family has also started to recruit brave warriors to send an expedition!¡± Blue ming flower? Ye Xiwen gawked and never thought to hear about such a rare treasure in a small town like this. He had read in many records that it grew only in the extremely high temperature environment of magma. Of course, there were many benefits one could get by consuming this flower. It could transform the mortal body into a fire spirit and then, one could practice fire attribute power techniques, which was quite rare. ¡°But why recruit warriors for that?¡± Ye Xiwen asked this question because who wouldn¡¯t want to hog such a rare treasure. ¡°Good question sir, because a monster lives inside the magma pool to guard the treasure!¡± When the waiter said ¡®monster¡¯, he could not help but shiver a bit, ¡°And that ferocious monster has already killed several scout warriors.¡± ¡°So there is such a thing!¡± Ye Xiwen frowned but a demon beast guarding a rare treasure was a very normal thing, but this was obviously not a general demon beast, otherwise, it would not have made such uproar. ¡°What do you know about that monster?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°All I know is that Cao family is now recruiting warriors who can y this monster and if you are interested, you may enlist your name as well.¡± The waiter said. ¡°It would be nice if you killed that monster, because magma pool is not far away from the town, and the monster would frequently visit here, and has also killed people from the Cao family!¡± Originally, Ye Xiwen just wanted to take a rest in this small town but now he had be very interested in that Blue ming flower and decided to wait and see what would happen in the end. After about a minute had passed and the inn slowly began to get crowded and almost all of the rooms had been booked in no time. Ye Xiwen also booked a room, then slowly sat down on a seat and began to eat and drink together. In thest two days, he didn¡¯t get a chance to have a rxed dinner like this. Then, suddenly, Ye Xiwen noticed a tower-likerge man entering inside the inn. He nced around and saw that all the seats were upied, and right then, he saw Ye Xiwen sitting by the window. He strode to the front of Ye Xiwen and said in a low muffled voice: ¡°Boy, step aside and quickly get lost then grandfather will spare your life.¡± (NT: ¡®To speak in a low muffled voice¡¯ is an idiom) ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xiwen did not turn his head, but shouted loudly. Only the strongmanded respect in this world which followed the principle of ¡®might is right¡¯. Ye Xiwen looked weakpared to that burly man that had resulted into this situation. ¡°What did you say you little bastard!¡± The brawny man suddenly stared at Ye Xiwen with his big eyes, and his big hand instantly shot towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen mmed his palm on the table, and suddenly, a chopstick flew up from the table. Ye Xiwen struck the chopstick with his palm using the ¡°Coiling Dragon palm¡± power technique. ¡°Phew!¡± The chopstick exuded a sharp piercing sound and flew with a lightning speed towards the big hand of that brawny guy. ¡°Ah!¡± The brawny guy screamed in a loud voice when the chopstick pierced right through his palm with a terrifying force and sent his body flying, that severely hit on the wall and his hand got firmly nailed on the wall by that chopstick. The brawny guy was endlessly wailing while his hand was nailed on the wall, but from Ye Xiwen¡¯s demeanor, it seemed as if nothing had happened at all. He took out a new set of chopsticks from the box and started eating once again. Ye Xiwen knew, at this time, there must be numerous people staring at him. These were the rebellious warriors and desperados. However, they had not entered into the Xiantian realm, so Ye Xiwen simply did not care about them. But this could be troublesome for him because, the rumors about the Blue ming flower, and the enlisting of warriors for subduing the monster, had attracted a lot of strong masters to arrive at this small town and Ye Xiwen did not want to have a high profile. Now that Ye Xiwen had effortlessly defeated that noisy burly guy in front of everyone, he could feel several gazes looking maliciously at him. ¡°Ha ha ha, this young brother¡¯s got some fine skills!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: I will upload Chapter 67 in few hours) Chapter 67 – Monster Chapter 67 ¨C Monster ¡°Ha ha ha, this young brother¡¯s got some fine skills!¡± The sound of footsteps came from the upstairs, and Ye Xiwen saw a youth wearing embroidered clothesing down the stairs whileughing heartily. ¡°I did not expect to actually be able to see such a skilled master here, it¡¯s so unexpected.¡± The youth wearing embroidered clothes did not even look at that wailing brawny who was still conscious and had luckily not died. Ye Xiwen had a surprised look in his eyes. This youth had actually concealed his breath, but after practicing ¡°Restraining breath technique¡±, Ye Xiwen had be particrly sensitive and immediately found out that this youth was actually a great master of the Xiantian realm. He walked up to the front of Ye Xiwen and introduced himself: ¡°Hello, my name is Dai Xiaohua, nice to meet you, what¡¯s your name brother?¡± (NT: Dai Xiaohua means ¡®Wearing small flowers¡¯) ¡°Dai Xiaohua?¡± Ye Xiwen twitched his eyebrows. A big man like him was actually called wearing small flowers, well, he seemed like an ignorant person to Ye Xiwen, but he apparently did not feel anything about introducing himself as ¡®Wearing small flowers¡¯, or maybe he had gotten used to it. ¡°My name is Ye Xiwen.¡± Ye Xiwen said and he already knew that this youth was not malicious. After learning the ¡°Restraining breath technique¡±, Ye Xiwen¡¯s understanding of other person¡¯s breath had progressed by leaps and bounds. It not only could restrain and change the breath, but could also tell whether a person was hostile or not, based on his breath. One could easily disguise the facial expressions but breath was the only thing that one could never disguise. ¡°Ha ha, after looking for so long, I finally found a decent master!¡± Dai Xiaohua smiled and said, ¡°Unlike these motley crew!¡± Dai Xiaohua was obviously talking about the warriors sitting in the inn, but surprisingly, although these warriors had angry looks on their faces but they suppressed their anger and did not say anything. This made Ye Xiwen somewhat curious about Dai Xiaohua. There was a huge difference of martial arts heritage between these warriors and Ye Xiwen. They were simply a group of ouws and their daily jobs involved struggles between life and death. This had turned them into hot tempered and irritable people. But, they still didn¡¯t say any word on Dai Xiaohua¡¯s sarcasticment. Not of all these warriors were in the Houtian realm, and there were some very strong masters among them, including some who had surpassed the Houtian realm. As if Dai Xiaohua had seen through Ye Xiwen¡¯s curiosity, heughed and said: ¡°It¡¯s nothing! These people do not acknowledge logic but strength. Since they cannot defeat me, they can only endure.¡± This straightforward reply from Dai Xiaohua left a good and deep impression on Ye Xiwen and this frank youth was far better than those other warriors. ¡°Brother Ye, are you going to enlist yourself as the brave warrior of Cao family?¡± Dai Xiaohua asked. ¡°En.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°Ha ha, let¡¯s join together then.¡± Dai Xiaohua ?ughed and said. ¡°Well, let¡¯s go then!¡± Ye Xiwenughed and was somewhat curious about the background of this youth, because he was so young and was already a Xiantian master, so one could imagine the strength of a master who had taught such a genius. ¡°Come on, we go now!¡± Dai Xiaohua said. ¡°Sote?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°It¡¯s notte, because every night, the monsteres to visit this small town. Cao family is anxious and wants to recruit strong masters to protect the town from this danger!¡± Dai Xiaohua said. They did not sit there for too long and immediately headed towards Cao family¡¯s Manor. Since the entire town was run by Cao family, so the Cao family¡¯s Manor was located at the centre of Caojiaji town. Dai Xiaohua hade to a few days ago and was familiar with the Caojiaji town. Although, the color of the sky was gradually getting dark, but Cao family¡¯s Manor had a brightly lit appearance with countless torches lighting up the night sky. At this time, the door to Cao family¡¯s Manor was still open and several gatekeepers were guarding the gate. When they saw the two of theming together, a guard immediately approached and shouted: ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°We brothers heard that your Cao family is recruiting warriors, we have especiallye to enlist ourselves!¡± Dai Xiaohua approached and said. Then, after a few minutes, two Cao family¡¯s executives came out to wee them and said: ¡°This time, many people from our Cao family have been killed by the monster, and I hope that you can help us catch the monster. We Cao family will be highly obliged!¡± These two men were the high level executives from Cao family. To prevent any more casualties by the recurring attacks of the monster, they had recruited many warriors and had dispersed them in all directions inside the town to protect the people. ¡°ording to my daily observations, the monsteres into the town almost every day, so tonight we should be able to see a good show!¡± Dai Xiaohua said while lying down on a bench in the garden and holding a weed in the mouth, smiling in front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen sat cross-legged on a nearby bench and started practicing. He was practicing in the ¡®Special Space¡¯ and could exit from that space anytime, so he was not worried. As time passed, night grew darker and surrounding sounds also disappeared gradually. People were holding their breath, waiting for the arrival of the monster. Dai Xiaohua did not stay there for long and soon left to search for the whereabouts of that monster. Night grew deeper, and slowly, the whole sky was obscured by the clouds, and became pitch ck, but Cao family¡¯s Mansion still remained as bright as the day. Then suddenly, Ye Xiwen opened his eyes and saw a giant hideous head in front of him. Fire sparks woulde out from its breath along with a blow of heat wave. ¡°ng!¡± Almost instantaneously, Ye Xiwen took out his long de, from the scabbard on his back, and chopped out a dazzling delight towards the huge head. ¡°Dang!¡± The delight chopped on the giant head and unexpectedly produced a metal shing sound. The sharp delight drew a white mark on that giant head, but the monster was frightened from this sudden attack from Ye Xiwen, and suddenly jumped back. Ye Xiwen finally got a look at this giant head. He actually saw a ten feet high beast with its four ws dug into the ground, covered with numerous red and ck colored dense scales and suffused with a breathtaking coldness with a slight tinct of fiery brightness. A terrifying aura firmly locked on Ye Xiwen but he didn¡¯t wait and instantly chopped out a huge crescent deqi towards that monster. At this time, the warriors present in the nearby locations finally discovered the monster, and started to shout loudly to warn every one. ¡°Monster, monster!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 68 – Fire Lin beast Chapter 68 ¨C Fire Lin beast ¡°Monster, monster is here!¡± Someone shouted crazily and suddenly the whole Caojiaji town shook with numerous warriors rushing out with torches in their hands. But this monster was ridiculously strong. Although Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack was hasty, but it was still powerful enough to bisect a master of peak Houtian ninth stage, however it still couldn¡¯t break the defense of the monster and could only put a scratch on its scales. Ye Xiwen¡¯s sudden attack had scared it and it had jumped back and ran away, because the warriors from Cao family had also started to arrive at the scene. Many warriors started to pursue after that monster, but it was too fast and fled in a blink of an eye. However, during its escape, several warriors had been caught off guard and were torn apart by that monster. No one was able to stop this monster. ¡°Hugh!¡± Suddenly, a loud shout spread over and Dai Xiaohua¡¯s figure flew down from a nearby roof. ¡°Hundred stages god fist!¡± Dai Xiaohua sted a punch with a terrifying strength which instantly vibrated the air and rushed after the monster. ¡°Boom!¡± The massive strength present in Dai Xiaohua¡¯s attack directly crashed into the monster¡¯s body, ¡°bang!¡± The scales on the body of the monster immediately shattered. Dai Xiaohua¡¯s attack undoubtedly showed apletely different strength thanks to the condensed Zhen Qi of a Xiantian second stage master. The monster was in a severe pain inflicted by this attack and wanted to stop and wreak havoc on the perpetrators, but it knew that Dai Xiaohua was not someone it could easily take on. It immediately picked up speed and taking advantage of the dark night sky, it immediately fled away. It looked as if a red and ck me was passing gently but also swiftly across the sky. Dai Xiaohua chased after it, but after a while, it had started to slowly pull away and leave him behind. He was tyrannically powerfulpared to this monster, especially his fist technique was incredibly powerful, but that was not the case with his agility skill. Although, he had practiced a very powerful agility technique but it had showed its inferiority at this critical time. The so-calledw of biting off more than one could chew! Dai Xiaohua had practiced a very powerful Xiantian level fist technique to a profound realm, and he had spent most of his time on practicing ¡®hundred stages god fist¡¯ and by spending less time on practicing his agility technique, his agility skill had be inferior. Also, the speed of this monster was at a terrifying level and most people could only see red and ck shadows flying at an insane speed. Dai Xiaohua bitterly stopped. Unfortunately, at that time, he was far away from the monster, otherwise he had the confidence of stopping it. At this time, all of a sudden, apanied with a gust of wind and a sharp whistling sound, a blurred figure instantly crossed Dai Xiaohua and chased after the monster. Dai Xiaohua immediately recognized that this figure undoubtedly belonged to Ye Xiwen, whose stature was smoothly and elegantly traversing while constantly shing towards that monster. Dai Xiaohua could not help but be secretly surprised at Ye Xiwen¡¯s amazing agility skill. Biting off more than one could chew was only a truth for other people, but this logic didn¡¯t apply on Ye Xiwen, because, even geniuses needed several years topletely master a martial art but what about Ye Xiwen? For Ye Xiwen, so long as there were enough spirit stones, he would be able to fully master any martial arts in a very short amount of time. This was the reason why both his de and agility skills were exceptionally strong. After only a few minutes of pursuit, Ye Xiwen had already left Caojiaji town behind and while chasing after the monster, he had finally entered the mountain forest. ¡°Don¡¯t run away like a coward, stay behind and fight with me!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and his de chopped out a bright delight which shone like a faint moonlight and instantly illuminated the entire forest, while rushing towards the monster. ¡°Roar!¡± The monster was anxious and with a loud roar, its stature transversely shifted sideways with an incredible speed and dodged Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoqi. The monster turned around and stared fiercely at Ye Xiwen. Its twontern-sized eyes shed ominously and were firmly locked on Ye Xiwen then it lifted its face up towards the sky and roared loudly. An ominous aura started to overflow from its body and openly disseminate everywhere. Ye Xiwen noticed that it was actually a Xiantian level demon beast and he didn¡¯t know about its species. The monster opened its big mouth, blowing a foul smell on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, followed by a surge of blue mesing out of its mouth that instantly burned through the air and soared towards Ye Xiwen to sear him. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Ye Xiwen suddenly jumped up high in the sky, directly over the monster and easily dodged those blue mes. ¡°Roar!¡± The monster raised its head and opened up its big mouth to bite. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de instantly chopped out a dazzling delight, that looked as if the stars were falling from the sky, and it severely cut into the body of that monster. Missing moon beheader! The strength of three Dragonspletely unleashed and Ye Xiwen¡¯s total strength surpassed the terrifying force of ten thousand Jin and instantly concentrated on a single point of attack. (NT: 1 Jin = 0.5 Kg) ¡°Bang!¡± With a sound of metal shing, Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack, containing massive strength of 3 Dragons, directly shed into the monster¡¯s body and sent it rolling down on the ground, but it immediately stood up the very next instant. Ye Xiwen was bbergasted because the defensive strength of its scales was unbelievably terrifying. Demon beasts generally held the advantage of possessing tough bodiespared to humans, but this extent of toughness was definitely rare. Ye Xiwen¡¯s most powerful de attack, endowed with the strength of three Dragons, had actually just chipped a few pieces of the scales on its body. It could be said that this monster had the strongest defense among all of the demon beasts that Ye Xiwen had seen so far in his lifetime. It was such a terrifying demon beast that even attacks from a master of the Xiantian first stage couldn¡¯t break its defense, and this was the reason why Cao family could only leave this monster running amok. Ye Xiwen had also tried out its strength and confirmed that it had already reached the peak of Xiantian first stage, and even a master of peak Xiantian first stage was not its match and would only die if tried to fight with it head on. The strength of this monster wasparable to that of a master of Xiantian second stage. So, even an anomaly like Ye Xiwen, whose strength was equivalent to that of a master of Xiantian second stage could only fight with it on equal terms. However, it was impossible for him to defeat it at his current strength. After taking an attack from Ye Xiwen¡¯s de, the monster suffered small injuries and was in pain. It had realized that dealing with Ye Xiwen would not be easy. The explosive strength in its limbs burst out and it suddenly leaped up and dashed into the mountain forest at an insane speed. It had actually be even faster than before. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t reach its insane speed, and could only give up! Ye Xiwen walked back along the same route. At this time, Caojiaji town was already brightly lit, because the sudden attack of monster had alerted everyone and people could be seen walking around inside the small town. Many people had gathered at the entrance of Cao family¡¯s Manor and a lot more had rushed there to see Ye Xiwen and had already encircled him. ¡°Brother Ye, what happened, did you catch up to that monster?¡± Dai Xiaohua asked. ¡°No, it got away.¡± Ye Xiwen did not want to reveal too many details of his fight with the monster. ¡°It¡¯s a pity because that was actually a Fire Lin beast. I did not expect to actually see a Fire Lin beast here.¡± Dai Xiaohua said. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: Chapter 69 in few hours) Chapter 69 – Strange Chapter 69 ¨C Strange ¡°It¡¯s a pity because that was definitely the Fire Lin beast. I actually did not expect to see a Fire Lin beast here.¡± Dai Xiaohua said. (NT: ¡®Lin¡¯ means ¡®Unicorn) ¡°Fire Lin beast, that monster was a Fire Lin beast? No wonder my attacks didn¡¯t work on it.¡± ¡°Its scales are way too hard and I think even those famous precious armors are nothing inparison. If only I could get those scales to make armor out of them then I won¡¯t have to fear for my safety anymore.¡± Those warriors were excited and still discussing about how Fire Lin beast had been unable to wreak havoc like earlier and had been easily driven out this time. But, right now, Ye Xiwen was recalling the information he had about Fire Lin beast in his mind. Fire Lin beast was a very famous and unique type of demon beast that would take birth in a magma pool and could only survive in extremely hot ce during its birth. There were rumors that Fire Lin beast contained the blood of ancient Fire Qilin beast in its body, but this was only a rumor and no one knew whether this was true or false, after all, like Dragons, unicorns were also only a legend. (NT: ¡®Qilin¡¯ is the name for a mythical Chinese unicorn) Just like Wyverns (Feilong) were an inferior species of ancient Dragons (Yaron), Fire Lin beast was rumored to be an inferior species of ancient Fire Qilin species and contained their blood. Adults of Fire Lin beast species were able to surpass the Xiantian realm, so it could be deduced from its cultivation level, that the said monster of Caojiaji town, that was outrageously powerful and had been wreaking havoc for all this time, was actually not an adult Fire Lin beast, and perhaps had taken birth not long ago! Directly born with its cultivation level in the Xiantian realm? Ye Xiwen had mixed feelings after hearing this and sighed, because with respect to these unique demon beasts, the human race was really weak. Except for the wisdom, there was nothing else which could support the fact that humans were stronger than these unique beasts, but even so, humans still upied the major areas of ¡®Zhen Wu Jie¡¯ world and were also its true leaders. ¡°Today, I would like to thank all of you for your efforts. Because of your presence here, we were able to scare away that Fire Lin beast, and this incident did not end up in a tragedy.¡± At this time, a handsome middle-aged man came out from the Cao family¡¯s Mansion and said while cupping one hand into the other across the chest. ¡°Lord is so polite!¡± ¡°There is no need to stand on ceremonies, it¡¯s our job!¡± This man was actually the lord of Cao family, named Cao Jinbiao. ¡°Anyway, today, our Cao family escaped unharmed and the credit for that goes to all of you, so, I will personally make sure to generously reward each and every one of you.¡± Cao Jinbiao said. ¡°Tomorrow, our Cao family will start an operation to eliminate that Fire Lin beast and I wish for all of you to join us in this operation.¡± Cao Jinbiao said. ¡°No problem!¡± ¡°Of course, we will participate in this operation!¡± Many warriorsughed and immediately epted the proposal of Cao Jinbiao to go and eliminate the Fire Lin beast. The beast had been driven away so easily and this had increased their confidence, after all, even though a few people had died, but the Fire Lin beast had to actually flee for its life , furthermore, a mere Houtian realm expert like Ye Xiwen had been able to chase after it and driven it away. However, Ye Xiwen was not so optimistic, because just now, he actually sensed that the cultivation level of Cao Jinbiao was already in the Xiantian realm. Although, he had camouged his breath quite well, but he had identally leaked a very small amount of his breath and that had been instantly sensed by Ye Xiwen. (NT: Think of breath like an ¡®aura¡¯ which is directly proportional to one¡¯s cultivation level) After practicing the ¡°Restraining breath technique¡±, Ye Xiwen had be very sensitive to the aura of other people and by virtue of a person¡¯s aura, he had been able to sense their cultivation level and strength. And Cao Jinbiao turned out to be a Xiantian master but he seemed injured, because his aura was very unstable when Ye Xiwen had sensed it. But even a wounded Xiantian master like Cao Jinbiao would not be unable to retaliate if a Fire Lin beast was wreaking havoc and killing members of his family, moreover this Fire Lin beast had particrly attacked the members of Cao family in the past, so there was definitely an inside story behind this. ¡°Two heroes, I thank you for driving away that Fire Lin beast this time.¡± Cao Jinbiao said. He had certainly seen how Dai Xiaohua and Ye Xiwen had scared away the Fire Lin beast, and one of them was only a master of Houtian realm and was simply not strong enough to defeat a Fire Lin beast. ¡°Lord is so polite!¡± Dai Xiaohua waved his hands and said as if he did not care. ¡°You¡¯re wee!¡± Ye Xiwen said. Cao Jinbiao saw that the two of them had started to talk to each other. He did not stay there for too long and after talking for a while with other warriors, he finally left. ¡°Hey, I can¡¯t believe that it really was the Fire Lin beast!¡± Dai Xiaohua chuckled and said after he saw Cao Jinbiao leaving. ¡°And there¡¯s also that Blue ming flower, Gee, I am afraid it¡¯s going to get very lively around here!¡± Dai Xiaohua excitedly said. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that Blue ming flower really exists? And the appearance of Fire Lin beast has confirmed my anticipation. I once read a record in a book and it said that Fire Lin beast was actually associated with the treasure, Blue ming flower. Shortly after the birth of a Fire Lin beast¡¯s cub, a Blue ming flower would mature on the ce of its birth and so long as the Fire Lin Beast cub swallowed this flower, it would be able to have step by step growth from infancy to adulthood!¡± Growing period! Ye Xiwen frowned. An infant Fire Lin beast had been so difficult to deal with, not to mention, it was still in the growth period and no one could guess about the extent of its growth once it reached adulthood. Ye Xiwen felt in his heart that fortunately, it was not in the adulthood right now, otherwise, the only option left for them would be either to escape or face massacre at the hands of this unique demon beast that contained the blood of ancient Fire Qilin beast, making it too formidable to deal with. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m going to get ready, because it¡¯s going to be a lot of fun tomorrow.¡± Dai Xiaohua cupped his hand into the other across his chest and said, ¡°Brother Ye, I have things to do so I will go ahead first.¡± Looking at the departing figure of Dai Xiaohua, Ye Xiwen did not stay in the Cao family Manor for too long and returned back to the inn to start practicing. Ye Xiwen always felt that there was something strange here, that things were not as simple as he had previously thought, and it turned that he was right. Even an infant Fire Lin beast was already at the peak of Xiantian first stage and was powerful enough to make everyone run for their lives, and could even kill some Xiantian second stage masters as well. After the growth period of Fire Lin beast wouldplete, it would be difficult to describe how formidable it would be in its adulthood. It could be said that this whole matter had be quite scary! However, no matter what, to enhance one¡¯s strength, dealing with all the troubles was the way of the king! Night passed in a blink of an eye and Ye Xiwen had fully concentrated on practicing, but this night had be a sleepless night for many experts and the reason behind this was the identity of that monster, being revealed as the formidable Fire Lin beast. The existence of Fire Lin beast and Blue ming fire was enough to attract the attention of many experts. After practicing all night, Ye Xiwen finally stopped and went downstairs only to find it crowded with many new warriors, andpared to the warriors he had seen yesterday, this crowd consisted of a lot of stronger experts of Xiantian realm. All of them were covered with dust, and it seemed that they had apparently rushed to the Caojiaji town after hearing about the Fire Lin beast and Blue ming flower! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: Chapter 70 in few hours) Chapter 70 – Rising winds Chapter 70 ¨C Rising winds The entire inn was filled with a tense atmosphere. ¡°Did you hear that? I heard that even Tianhui City¡¯s City Guard Government has dispatched an expert and I also heard that a few decades ago, that expert was famous by the name of Chen Tieshou in the nearby areas.¡± ¡°How was he dispatched, didn¡¯t the rumors say that Chen Tieshou is already dead?¡± ¡°Several years ago, Chen Tieshou was a famous Xiantian master in this area butter, rumors spread out that he died. I did not expect that he would actually conceal himself and work for City Guard Government.¡± ¡°Furthermore,st night, someone saw that Shaoyang Sect¡¯s young master, Wu Shaoyang, has also entered the town and has obviously alsoe for the Fire Lin beast.¡± ¡°Gee, with the arrival of so many Xiantian masters, I am afraid it¡¯s going to be a lot of fun!¡± ¡°Yesterday I did not know, but a big personality was present among us. Everyone knows of the Dai family right? Gee, yesterday, the most powerful expert of the current generation of Dai family, Dai Xiaohua, disyed a superb performance of ¡®Hundred stages God fist¡¯ to a profound level and scared away that Fire Lin beast.¡± ¡°Yes, I also heard that a young man went out alone to kill the Fire Lin beast and came back unharmed, gee, he must also be a famous master!¡± A discussion was open inside the inn and Ye Xiwen was quietly having breakfast in a corner. No one knew that Ye Xiwen was the young man in their discussions, who had alone chased after the Fire Lin beast and hade back alive. But, Ye Xiwen had identally heard and was surprised to find out that Dai Xiaohua was actually a person of the famous Dai family. Dai family had a well-known influence in the nearby regions and was backed by one of the four great Sects of Great Yue State, Liu Yuncheng. It had a rather special influence among the four great Sects, and not just because it contained a wide range of martial arts, but also because the ancestors of Liu Yuncheng Lord¡¯s family had founded the Great Yue Empire alongside the first emperor. Also, because of the rtionship between the teachings of their forefathers, among the four great Sects, Liu Yuncheng was most intimate with the imperial family. Basically, it could be said that they were deeply interrted with the royal family. Dai family was a branch of Liu Yuncheng and its huge influence had spread throughout the Great Yue State like the other three respected families, backed by Liu Yuncheng. Also, an ancestor of Dai family was also one of the four efficient subordinates of Liu Yuncheng and had served under the king during the foundation of the Empire. Yesterday, Ye Xiwen could have guessed about Dai Xiaohua¡¯s background, but his attention was riveted on the Fire Lin beast. And, Dai Xiaohua had also made very good impression on him, and had proved himself worthy of a close friendship, so he didn¡¯t think too much about this matter. But even so, it was nothing, and was he not also the strongest disciple in the younger generation of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School. This time, no matter what, he must fight and strive on and during the chaos caused by so many powerful masters, he might have a chance to score a victory. After awhileter, a warrior of the Cao family entered the inn and walked straight to the front of Ye Xiwen and said: ¡°Master Ye, our Cao family¡¯s Lord has especially sent me to invite you for today¡¯s operation of elimination of monster, are you ready?¡± ¡°En!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°Then pleasee with me.¡± Ye Xiwen followed the warrior of Cao family out of the inn, and at this time, a buzzing sound of an intense discussion broke out in the inn. ¡°Ah, he was that young man, named Ye Xiwen, who chased alone after the Fire Lin beastst night!¡± ¡°I never imagined him to be so skinny!¡± ¡°Stupid, a warrior must not be judged by his appearance. If strength was decided by the physique of a master then all of the masters would have iron tower-like physiques!¡± ¡°Yes, yesterday I saw an idiot provoking Ye Xiwen, but instead he got nailed to the wall with a chopstick.¡± ¡°Where does this Ye Xiwene from?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± At this time, a traveling merchant opened his mouth and said, ¡°This Ye Xiwen is this year¡¯s peerless genius from Yi Yuan School.¡± ¡°A genius from Yi Yuan School? That¡¯s not right, although Yi Yuan School is somewhat far from here, but I know of Ye Feng, Zhang Yang et al, but why have I never heard of Ye Xiwen before?¡± A knowledgeable man asked. ¡°You do not know about it?¡±The traveling merchant said with a smug look on his face, ¡°That Ye Xiwen is a rising genius of Yi Yuan School. He won the inner disciplespetition and easily became a champion of Yi Yuan School¡¯s inner sect. After winning the championship, he again stole the spotlight in the core disciple¡¯spetition by beheading a Xiantian master. Right now, he is recognized as Yi Yuan School¡¯s strongest top disciple in the younger generation.¡± Ye Xiwen did not know that the whole inn had started to talk about his achievements. He followed the Cao family¡¯s warrior and soon arrived at the Manor of Cao family. At this time, the Manor was already crowded with experts and all of them were exuding a dangerous aura. However soon, two people caught his attention and at a corner, an old man was standing under the tree shade, with a cold look on his face, and right then, Ye Xiwen also noticed his pitch ck iron-like hands. Ye Xiwen immediately knew that this guy should be Chen Tieshou. Although he seemed to be standing still and alone, but no one was daring to approach him because he seemed more like a beast than a martial artist. On the other side, there was an entirely different scene. A youth d in red robe, holding a sword in his hand was standing with a smile on his face while surrounded by a multitude of warriors, trying to get close to him, after all, although the influence of Shaoyang Sect was notparable to Yi Yuan School, Dai family and other great Sects, but it was still not a small power because three Xiantian masters had assumed personalmand over the Shaoyang Sect and it had definitely a powerful influence in this neighborhood, that couldn¡¯t be ignored. Ye Xiwen also found that the strength level of these warriors was obviously more than the warriors of Qingfeng Mountain area and was really closer to the warriors found in the central regions of Great Yue State. ¡°Brother Ye!¡± At this time, the voice of Dai Xiaohua entered Ye Xiwen¡¯s ears. He turned to look and actually saw Dai Xiaohua running towards him, ¡°I never thought that Brother Ye was actually a brilliant student of Yi Yuan School. You tried to conceal this from me and I feel bitter about it! ¡° ¡°When did you be so bashful? You and I became good friends without worrying about our background identity and status.¡± Ye Xiwen said with a smile. ¡°Ha ha ha, exactly, exactly, you said well, looked pleasing to the eyes of each other, then you and I became good friends, without worrying about our background identity and status.¡± Dai Xiaohuaughed and said. ¡°Gentlemen ...¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: Chapter 71 wille as a regr release tomorrow. Goodnight guys! :D) Chapter 71 – To hit with hands or fists Chapter 71 ¨C To hit with hands or fists ¡°Gentlemen ...¡± At this time, the Lord of Cao family, Cao Jinbiao, came out and cupped one hand in the other across his chest and said, ¡°Today, you all have epted our invitation and it is great honor for our small town.¡± ¡°Lord Cao, don¡¯t mention it, because today we havee for the matter rted to the Fire Lin beast!¡± A warrior said. Everyone nodded, though this was an operation initiated by the Cao family, but if there were no Fire Lin beast and Blue ming flower in the picture then who would havee at Cao family¡¯s invitation? ¡°Good, this monster extermination operation will now officially begin. Everyone please follow us!¡± Cao Jinbiao did not speak much and immediately began the operation. Led by the members of Cao family, therge team of mighty warriors headed towards the ce where the underground magma pool was located. Ye Xiwen and Dai Xiaohua were also present in the crowd and they soon went out of the town. All of these warriors were fast and within half an hour, they arrived under a hillside. This hillside was not high, only about 56 meters, but there was a big hole on its top and one could see a very dark bottomless ce from above. The magma pool was present beneath it. Ye Xiwen quickly followed the crowd into the cave. After entering the cave, they suddenly felt a heat wave blowing and could even hear the sound ofva rolling and boiling inside cave, apanied with the bubbling sound. Ye Xiwen reckoned that maybe this magma pool had not formed by an active volcano, but it was hard to say, after all, this could only be calcted based on thousands of years of volcanic action. But now, it seemed to have been formed from a volcano and that must have happened a very long time ago! When the team went deeper into the cave, the temperature of the ground started to increase gradually and some of the warriors had to wrap their feet with Zhen Qi, otherwise the heat would have burnt their feet. It was getting darker inside the cave, but everyone here was an expert and could clearly see in just a little bit of light, moreover as they were approaching the magma pool, the cave had gradually started to illuminate with red light. The team continued to walk in the direction from where the red light wasing and only after awhile they saw a huge magma pool, filled with rolling and bubbling red hot magma. Everyone clearly saw that right at the centre of the magma pool, there was a single Blue ming Lotus, and seemed to be camouged with its color simr to the color of the surrounding magma. People could not help but be secretly amazed. They never expected to actually see a flower growing in the magma, and it could survive under such a high temperature, that was definitely not ordinary. They saw the entirely crimson colored Blue ming Lotus and they also clearly saw that it contained lotus seeds as well. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s actually the Blue ming Lotus!¡± A warriorughed and said. After seeing the flower, the warrior picked up a huge rock and suddenly threw it into the magma pool. ¡°Ssh!¡± The rock fell into the magma, and that warrior immediately jumped and stepped on that huge rock and without waiting even for an instant, he suddenly leaped again towards the Blue ming Lotus to plunder it. Everyone saw that once that warrior tried to grasp the Blue ming Lotus in his hand, he started screaming over and over while his hands had instantly burnt to a terrifying extent. His body fiddled and as there nothing to support his falling body, he fell directly into the magma and screamed pitifully beforepletely melting. ¡°He really was courting death!¡± Many of the warriors who had fortunately not rushed like him, said with a look of disdain on their faces. Ye Xiwen frowned at this troublesome situation. The Blue ming Lotus waspleted surrounded by red hot magma and there were no ces to step over to approach it and looking at the scary level of temperature of the magma, even a foot, properly wrapped in re-enforced Zhen Qi, would instantly melt and disappear once stepped into the magma, which was absolutely terrifying. ¡°Let me try!¡± At this time, the young master of Shaoyang Sect, Wu Shaoyang, shouted loudly and instantly threw a red double-edged sword which flew out skimming over the magma pool and Wu Shaoyang immediately flew up, and as lithe as the swallow, he descended over his sword and rushed towards the Blue ming Lotus to snatch it. (NT: ¡®As lithe as a swallow is an idiom¡¯) ¡°Shua!¡± The treasured sword passed swiftly over the Blue ming Lotus and instantly cut down the entire flower while flying vigorously through the air, but at this time, when he stretched out his hands to firmly hold the Blue ming Lotus, it started to emit buzzing sound aftering in contact with his hands. The ultra-high temperature had started to melt his Zhen Qi, though fortunately, he was already a master of the Xiantian realm and his Xiantian Zhen Qi was far more powerful than the Houtian Zhen Qi. If a Houtian realm warrior had held this Lotus in his hand then it would have instantly corroded his Zhen Qi and burnt his hand. Wu Shaoyang soon flew skimming over the magma pool to the other side, when at this time he heard a shrill piercing sound and saw a huge rock flying towards him at a lightning speed. ¡°Bang!¡± Wu Shaoyang struggled to twist his body in the midair and dodged the rock which then heavily crashed into the side of the cliff and dug a big hole into it. ¡°Chen Tieshou, you old bastard, how dare you sneak an attack on me!¡± Wu Shaoyang turned around to look and noticed that it was Chen Tieshou who had yed this dirty trick on him... Chen Tieshou sneered: ¡°You better put down the Blue ming Lotus. It is not the kind of thing that your Shaoyang Sect should meddle with.¡± Wu Shaoyang¡¯splexion got unsightly and he stared fiercely at the Chen Tieshou and said: ¡°If I say no, then?¡± ¡°Then your father will lose a son, so I advise you to be little sensible. Years ago, I made a living by travelling around the country when you were just born!¡± Chen Tieshou bluntly said. ¡°Old fool, you want to take advantage of your own seniority. So what if you have practiced for decades, just you wait and see how I cut you today!¡± Wu Shaoyang had be enraged by Chen Tieshou¡¯s words. ¡°You can try!¡± Chen Tieshou sneered and rushed towards Wu Shaoyang. ¡°Old stuff, just drop dead already!¡± Wu Shaoyang struck his sword and a terrifying Jianqi instantly rushed out towards Chen Tieshou. (NT: ¡®Tieshou¡¯ means ¡®Iron Hand¡¯) ¡°Boom!¡± Chen Tieshou used his hands to directly block and scatter the iing Jianqi, but at this time, his figure stagnated and it seemed as if he would fall into the magma. He immediately shot his palm releasing a terrifying Qijin towards the magma. With the help of the opposite reaction force of this attack, his body suddenly bounced back to go up, and like an eagle, he instantly rushed towards Wu Shaoyang. (NT: ¡®Qijin¡¯ means ¡®powerful Qi¡¯) ¡°Even if they had actuallye for Blue ming Lotus, but this hitting with hands or fists began too quickly, and even the shadow of the Fire Lin beast is nowhere to be seen!¡± Dai Xiaohua said with disdain. (NT: ¡®to hit with hands or fists¡¯ means ¡®to fight over something¡¯) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Chapter 72 wille as a regr release tomorrow; Check ¡®Donate¡¯ page for the new release schedule for MGS) Chapter 72 – Cao family’s trap Chapter 72 ¨C Cao family¡¯s trap Fire Lin beast? Ye Xiwen shook his head because none of these warriors had reallye to help Cao family in exterminating this beast! Almost all hade for the Blue ming Lotus, and knowing the benefits of this rare treasure, even a devil would be willing toe as well! As a result of battling with Chen Tieshou, Wu Shaoyang had no other choice left but to obediently put down the Blue ming Lotus. ¡°Snatch the Blue ming Lotus!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Seeing the fight of Wu Shaoyang and Chen Tieshou, other warriors suddenly broke out all of a sudden, because they had faced a sudden outbreak of greed in their hearts for the Blue ming Lotus. Fighting, killing, all of a sudden, a lot of warriors had already died! Undoubtedly, the greed had manifested itself inside the hearts of these warriors! The aisle to the magma pool was too narrow and because of that, a lot of warriors had directly fallen into the magma pool and perished instantly. Both Ye Xiwen and Dai Xiaohua were not in a rush like those other warriors, because to them, these people were nothing more than a motley crew and were definitely not a cause of concern, even though some Xiantian masters were also present among these warriors. But, for these two, their only possible opponents could be Chen Tieshou and Wu Shaoyang, the two Xiantian masters, who were battling each other at the moment. Of course, there was also Cao Jinbiao, the Lord of Caojiaji town, and Ye Xiwen had not forgotten that Cao Jinbiao was also a powerful Xiantian master, although injured at the moment. Then suddenly, Ye Xiwen discovered that Cao Jinbiao, who should have been with his team in the middle, had actually disappeared and this discovery had suddenly made him tensed and surprised at the same time. ¡°Cao Jinbiao has disappeared!¡± Ye Xiwen immediately informed Dai Xiaohua. ¡°What? Don¡¯t tell me he got killed by some warrior!¡± Dai Xiaohua said. ¡°No, he disappeared only a moment ago, and I also can¡¯t see the members of Cao family.¡± Ye Xiwen said. After listening to what Ye Xiwen had just said, Dai Xiaohua also reacted immediately, because it was really true that the members of Cao family, who were present here only a moment ago, had suddenly disappeared. ¡°This is a problem!¡± Dai Xiaohua frowned and said, because the Cao family had used this chaotic situation to their advantage. Confusion, Chaos! The Crowd of warriors had already rushed to the other side of the magma pool leaving only Dai Xiaohua and Ye Xiwen behind. Ye Xiwen saw a man rushing to grab the Blue ming Lotus, but that man was shot by many concealed weapons, turning his body look like that of a hedgehog. However, before long, everyone started fighting with each other while striving to be first and fearing to best. (NT: striving to be first and fearing to best (idiom) means ¡®outdoing one another¡¯) When Ye Xiwen was trying to think about his next course of action, suddenly, the whole magma boiled up and a huge shadow jumped out from the magma and swooped down towards the group of warriors, who were fighting with each other until now, and several warriors didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge and were instantly killed. Fire Lin beast! Everyone was stunned after the sudden appearance of Fire Lin beast. ¡°Hundred stages god fist!¡± Dai Xiaohua shouted and flew towards the beast. His fierce punch shot out the terrifying Quanjin. (NT: ¡®Quanjin¡¯ is the power present in his fist) ¡°Boom!¡± The Quanjin fiercely collided with the body of Fire Lin beast, but its grandiose stature moved only a bit. Ye Xiwen also didn¡¯t wait and immediately flew across the entire magma pool, then took out his de and severely chopped out towards the Fire Lin beast. Fire Lin beast screamed and several of its scales immediately shattered. Fire Lin beast did not stop, but it immediately pounced towards the Blue ming flower. ¡°You beast!¡± Wu Shaoyang shouted loudly and his sword danced out, releasing a long thick Swordqi which instantly plugged into the front of the Fire Lin beast. Chen Tieshou also didn¡¯t wait and his fist rumbled, producing an air crackling sound and the profound skill of Chen Tieshou directly struck the body of Fire Lin beast, and it bellowed and rolled to the side. But the Fire Lin beast did not give up. It immediately stood up and rolled to the side of Blue ming Lotus and bit off a major part of the Lotus and swallowed it. ¡°You filthy beast!¡± At this time, the people were angry, seeing that the Fire Lin beast had actually eaten half of the Blue ming Lotus. The Fire Lin beast lifted its face upward and gave out a loud roar and rushed towards a group of Houtian level warriors and almost in an instant, these Houtian level warriors had been totally obliterated. ¡°Kill, ha ha ha, kill them for me!¡± At this time, everyone heard a loud battle crying from a distant ce, but this voice was familiar to Ye Xiwen. Yes! It was the voice of Cao Jinbiao, Lord of Caojiaji town. Everyone saw Cao Jinbiao, and two other experts walking with him towards the magma pool from far away. These two experts were actually Xiantian level masters, one was a middle aged man who looked smaller than Cao Jinbiao and another was a skinny old man. Ye Xiwen immediately recognized these two experts, as someone from the Cao family had mentioned about them earlier to Ye Xiwen. These two were the major pirs that supported the Cao family on their shoulders. The middle-aged man was the younger brother Cao Jinbiao, called Cao Jinshui, while the old man was an elder of Caojiaji town, called Cao Xing ¨C No one had expected to find so many Xiantian masters in a small town like Caojiaji. ¡°Lord Cao, what is the meaning of this?¡± Chen Tieshou asked. ¡°Ha ha ha, of course, this is to kill you all. Today, you all must die!¡± A warrior of Cao familyughed and said. ¡°You dare to set me up, are you not afraid of our punitive army?¡± Chen Tieshou said in a cold voice. ¡°Do you think you can escape? You are only the first wave of Xiantian masters that we have attracted so far, and thenter, more wille and after beheading all of the Xiantian masters of the nearby areas, our Cao family will gain the biggest influence in this locality!¡± A warrior of the Cao family said, ¡°And who will know that we were behind this? All they will know that, you all died at the hands of the Fire Lin beast!¡± ¡°So, this Fire Lin beast ...¡± Dai Xiaohua¡¯splexion immediately paled. ¡°Yes, so you finally realized. In order to subdue this beast, we had to put a lot of efforts!¡± The warriorughed and said. Ye Xiwen suddenly understood. This exined why Cao Jinbiao¡¯s breath was unstable. So, he had actually been injured while taming this Fire Lin beast. In other words, Cao family really wanted to attract great masters of Shaoyang Sect and Tianhui town, while Ye Xiwen as well as Dai Xiaohua were also their targets! ¡°You talk too much!¡± Cao Jinshui shouted and said, ¡°Kill them all, and once we are done with them, our Cao family would gain the top influence in this area!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Cao family¡¯s men gave out a battle cry, while theplexion of those who had been invited by the Cao family had considerable paled, but now, this had be a matter of life and death for them, and they immediately shed with the members of the Cao family and a bloody war started in the cave. Ye Xiwen suddenly moved quickly and in an instant, he was next to the Blue ming Lotus. He bent down and caught the root of the Blue ming Lotus, although the major part of the Lotus had been eaten by the Fire Lin beast, but even just the root was very beneficial. But before Ye Xiwen could even think, a huge shadow leaped towards him and mercilessly hit Ye Xiwen, and sent him flying. ¡°Ssh!¡± Ye Xiwen fell into the magma pool. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: This chapter is a regr release. Chapter 73 wille as a bonus chapter in few hours) Chapter 73 – Breaking through to the Xiantian realm Chapter 73 ¨C Breaking through to the Xiantian realm ¡°Brother Ye!¡± Dai Xiaohua said anxiously, ¡°You filthy beast!¡± Dai Xiaohua had be extremely furious when he saw Ye Xiwen being pushed into the magma pool, without any chance to dodge an attack from the Fire Lin beast. He furiously shot out ¡®Hundred stages god fist¡¯ at the beast and it suddenly screamed. His Quanjin broke through theyers of scales and sted into its body under the scales. Dai Xiaohua¡¯s Xiantian level strength had reached its peak, caused by his anger for the beast and the tyrannical power of his fist technique had truly manifested itself. However at this time, Dai Xiaohua was unable to chase and kill the Fire Lin beast, because Cao Jinbiao and his family had started an onught on them and Lord Cao Jinbiao was a terrifying Xiantian master, so Dai Xiaohua had to pay attention to them as well. Three Xiantian masters of the Cao family were already well prepared to obstruct Dai Xiaohua, Chen Tieshou and Wu Shaoyang. But Dai Xiaohua was not afraid of these three Xiantian masters of the Cao family, but at present, the most terrifying was the fact that Fire Lin beast had already swallowed a major part of the Blue ming Lotus and had now entered into transformation period. If this situation dragged on a little longer and the beast was not killed before thepletion of its transformation, then no one would survive! Theplexion of Dai Xiaohua, Chen Tieshou and Wu Shaoyang had suddenly paled because they never thought that Cao family would actually prepare such a vicious trap. ¡°When I go out, I will let my father take care of you Cao family bastards.¡± Wu Shaoyang gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice. ¡°Well, that is if you get a chance to go out.¡± Wu Shaoyang¡¯s opponent Cao Jinshui sneered and said. At the same time, the aura of Fire Lin beast had started to increase rapidly and with a loud bang, it suddenly broke through the peak of Xiantian first stage and entered into the Xiantian second stage, however, its aura continued to rise and didn¡¯t stop. ¡°Run, we will make a run for it and as long as there is one of us who manages to escape from this massacre, Cao family will be exterminated!¡± Chen Tieshou finally shouted these words to coborate with the two Xiantian masters, Dai Xiaohua and Wu Shaoyang. As for those other warriors, they were like ants in his eyes and he simply did not care about them. ¡°Run, where will you run to?¡± Cao Jinbiaoughed and said. The strength of the Fire Lin beast had already increased dramatically. Its loud roars were echoing in the cave and its eyes had be blood-red, full of blood and violence, and its gigantic body suddenly leaped towards Chen Tieshou. After entering into the Xiantian second stage, the strength of the Fire Lin beast had increased to a terrifying level and with just a swoop, it had knocked down Chen Tieshou on the ground. ¡°Die you filthy beast!¡± Chen Tieshou shouted loudly and his pitch-ck palm instantly shot out, containing a terrifying strength, which caused a loud air explosion. ¡°Bang!¡± The Fire Lin beast directly lifted up its w and fiercely stepped upon his hand. ¡°Kara!¡± With a sound of breaking bones, the bones inside Chen Tieshou¡¯s hand immediately shattered after the Fire Lin beast had directly stepped on his hand. Chen Tieshou screamed in a pitiful voice because its foot was extremely heavy. The beast again stepped on his breastbone and smashed it. ¡°Ah!¡± Chen Tieshou screamed but right then, a raging fire suddenly discharged out from the body of Fire Lin beast and instantly corroded the Xiantian Zhen Qi that was wrapped around his body, and then burnt him to cinders. ¡°Ha ha ha, today, no one¡¯s going anywhere!¡± Cao Xing and the Fire Lin beast rushed towards Wu Shaoyang and Dai Xiaohua respectively. Suddenly, the whole magma pool began to boil up and an incredibly terrifying aura flushed out of the magma pool and an innumerable influx of frenzied Lingqi formed a huge bubble in the magma. Theplexion of all the Xiantian masters present there immediately turned pale. They were all familiar with this scene because this was a breakthrough into the Xiantian realm. Theplexion of the people from Cao family especially became pale, because they couldn¡¯tprehend that how could someone break through to the Xiantian realm inside the magma. Dai Xiaohua was delighted, and he seemed to have understood what was happening. ¡°Hurry up, kill them all!¡± Cao Jinbiao immediately shouted. ¡°Boom!¡± Before they could start the massacre, a loud explosion sound came from the magma, and arge amount of magma spattered in all directions. Except the Fire Lin beast, everyone else quickly used all their might to jump back and escape from the flying magma. They absolutely could not afford to touch it otherwise, they would be roasted alive. A figure covered in red-hot magma jumped out from the magma and the first one to react was the Fire Lin beast, which immediately pounced towards that figure with its blood-red eyes, full of hatred, looking at that figure. But, the Fire Lin beast actually saw an iparably radiant red-hot long de shing. The long de instantly pierced though the air and maliciously chopped into its body. ¡°Bang!¡± The whole cave echoed with a loud sound of metal-sh, and in the very next instant, the Fire Lin beast screamed and its gigantic body directly flew far away by this de attack. There was huge crack on the red scales covering its body and the blood was gushing out of the wound. This was the first time someone had cut open its scales to this extent. People were giving dumbfounded looks to that person¡¯s figure standing in the midair. They couldn¡¯t believe their eyes that in an instant, the tables had turned in their favor and the beast on which, the Cao family was putting its bet had actually been injured and sent flying by a single de attack. It was hard for people to ept this favorable turn of events in such a short time. At this time, the shadow descended from the sky andnded on one side of the magma pool. ¡°Brother Ye, you¡¯re all right!¡± Dai Xiaohua said with a look of surprise on his face. Wu Shaoyang was also surprised and looked at Ye Xiwen, although he and Ye Xiwen were unfamiliar, but this time, the unexpected appearance of Ye Xiwen was more like reinforcement to their side. Ye Xiwen nodded towards the two men, with a de in his hand and stared coldly towards the people of Cao family. For Ye Xiwen, only he himself knew about the life and death experience that he had just gone through, and his survival could be said as a narrow escape. Falling into magma pool implied certain death. The Houtian Zhen Qi simply couldn¡¯t stop the invasion of magma, and even Xiantian Zhen Qi would burn up quickly, so there was no way to continue to resist it. So, when he had fallen into the magma, he decided to swallow the root of Blue ming Lotus at this critical moment and along with it, he also took out the Xiantian Pellet and began to forcefully impact on his inner state in order to enter into the Xiantian realm. Only after the impact to his innate state, an endless amount of Xiantian Zhen Qi generated inside his body and he was able to escape. Ye Xiwen had no other ways to escape from the magma and without a breakthrough, he would have burned inside the magma, but fortunately, heavens would not fail a man. Although he had only swallowed the root of Blue ming Lotus but his body had still gained the fire spirit characteristics. His anti-fire resistance had greatly enhanced and this was the reason why the magma had not caused any injuries to his body and he had been able to stay in the magma for so long, without getting burnt. Moreover, he also regarded this as a blessing in disguise, because from now on, mes would not be able to burn him due to greatly increased resistance to fire. Also, he would be able to practice a fire attribute power technique and would gain twice the result with half the effort. This was the motive that had attracted all the warriors toe here. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- (NT: On Saturday, I will prepare a grand release of chapters (in the range of minimum 3 and can go up to 5 chapters) depending on the donations. Enjoy!) Chapter 74 – All killed (NT: Thanks to sai pakpati (UK), Alexander Engblom (Sweden), Galen Kellner (US), Thomas Metzger (Pittsburgh), n Jones (Brooklyn, NY), james pape (Arizona), Anonymous (Norway), Amir (Israel) for sponsoring the Grand Release of Chapters 74,75,76 and 77) Chapter 74 ¨C All killed This was the most important characteristic of Blue ming Lotus that had attracted all the warriors to rush here... Because of the strong fire resistant properties of the Blue ming Lotus, Ye Xiwen had been able to break through to the Xiantian realm while he was still inside the magma pool! Inside the magma, Ye Xiwen simply did not have any time to think and his only chance of survival relied on having a breakthrough as soon as possible. After taking the Xiantian Pellet, Ye Xiwen had been able to have a quick and sessful breakthroughpared to the other masters, and this could be described as a narrow escape. When he had fallen into the magma pool, if his Xiantian Zhen Qi had beenpletely consumed even a moment before he actually swallowed the Blue ming Lotus, then he would have instantly burned in the magma before gaining the fire resistant ability from the Lotus. However, after experiencing a narrow escape from death, it was not so that he didn¡¯t get any benefits from this. In his body, 50% of the Houtian Zhen Qi had transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi, and this transformation wasparable to the degree of transformation, attained by ordinary experts of the Xiantian third stage, of course, his current transformation was still notparable to the elite masters of Xiantian third stage who had already transformed 60% of their Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. After entering into the Xiantian realm, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had also reached all the way up to the strength of 11 Dragons. Also, speaking of the martial arts techniques, although he knew a lot of Xiantian level martial arts techniques, but had only mastered to an extent of advanced power technique, and had only scratched the surface of the real extent rted to the Xiantian power techniques. It could be said that he had obtained a superficial knowledge, as the insights, about these Xiantian power techniques. Although 50% of his Zhen Qi had already transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi, but there was still a small gap between him and other Xiantian masters, who had also transformed 50% of their Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. However dealing with the Fire Lin beast, which had just entered into the Xiantian second stage, was a child¡¯s y for Ye Xiwen. And now that Ye Xiwen had entered into the Xiantian realm, once he would start practicing his Xiantian level power techniques, then he would be able to fight on equal terms with the ordinary masters of the Xiantian third stage, however, right now, he was still just a master of the Xiantian first stage, who had still not grasped his martial arts technique to the extent of Xiantian level. ¡°You, you actually did not die!¡± Cao Jinshui said with an astonished look in his eyes. ¡°Thanks to you, I¡¯m not dead.¡± Ye Xiwen, with a calm smile on his face, said, ¡°And I¡¯m afraid that today, your Cao family will be exterminated.¡± ¡°You ....You little bastard, how dare you threaten me!¡± Cao Jinshui roared loudly, ¡°Today, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Cao Jinshui roared and rushed towards Ye Xiwen and shot both his palms in session, releasing a terrifying Zhen Qi, which endlessly stirred the air in the surrounding. ¡°Overconfident!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and instantly shot ¡®Rushing thunder hand¡¯, although ¡®Rushing thunder hand¡¯ was just a lower level power technique, but in the hands of Ye Xiwen, it had reached a profound level, and even if he used to mainly practice ¡°Cold moon beheader¡± but he had not put down the ¡°Rushing thunder hand¡± because it was simple, quite handy, powerful, and with the conversion of half of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. And apanied with the strength of 11 Dragons, how could a Xiantian expert like Cao Jinshui, who had transformed only 10% of this Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, be his opponent. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm rumbled and released an intermittent thunderous explosion sound which echoed throughout the cave. ¡°Bang!¡± With a heart shaking breaking sound, all of the bones in Cao Jinshui¡¯s arm had been instantly broken under the terrifying strength of 11 Dragons, present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack, that had instantly turned the bones present in Cao Jinshui¡¯s arm into powder. ¡°Ah!¡± Cao Jinshui screamed while his body had been sent flying upside down by the terrifying force present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack that had also injured his internal organs. ¡°How ... how is this possible!¡± Everyone was stunned after watching this scene, because no one thought that a Xiantian master like Cao Jinshui would be unable to stop even a single attack palm attack from Ye Xiwen. But, Ye Xiwen had just now entered into the Xiantian realm then how had his strength increased so much. However, it was obvious that Ye Xiwen did not intend to show mercy on him. His long de instantly chopped out a crescent-shaped deqi towards Cao Jinshui and split him in half in the midair. ¡°Jinshui!¡± Cao Jinbiao indignantly roared, ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Seeing his younger brother getting killed right in front of his eyes, it seemed as if Cao Jinbiao had be totally insane and frantic and suddenly rushed towards Ye Xiwen. However at this time, the Fire Lin beast also rushed towards Ye Xiwen and spit out high-temperature mes from its mouth at him. From the other side, Cao Xing also rushed towards Ye Xiwen. They must kill Ye Xiwen because if they did not kill him then the news about their conspiracy would leak out and numerous angry forces woulde to destroy Cao family. Ye Xiwen sneered and took out his long de and in just a step, his figure suddenly disappeared. Now that he had be a Xiantian master, not only just half of his Zhen Qi had transformed into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, but his strength and speed had also progressed by leaps and bounds. Breaking through to the Xiantian realm could be considered as the first big transformation for a martial artist, and it caused a tremendous change in the physical body as well. ¡®Shua!¡¯ Ye Xiwen instantly appeared in front of the Fire Lin beast then stretched out his left hand and directly squeezed the hot mes spit out by the Fire Lin beast, and his right fist instantly punched out, with the Xiantian Zhen Qi attached to the top of the fist, and instantly condensed into a terrifying Quanjin and fiercely smashed into its head. Although the speed of Fire Lin beast was very fast from the start, and after consuming the Blue ming lotus, its speed had increased even further, but it still could not avoid Ye Xiwen¡¯s fist. ¡°Bang!¡± The scales on the face of the Fire Lin beast had immediately shattered by Ye Xiwen¡¯s punch. ¡°Boom!¡± The gigantic body of the Fire Lin beast flew up again and severely hit at the top of a rock generating a tremendous impulse which directly crushed its bones. It rolled on to one side while wailing incessantly. Right then, while Ye Xiwen¡¯s attention was diverted towards the beast, Cao Jinbiao thought of this as an opportunity and his figure suddenly appeared behind Ye Xiwen with a trace of madness in his eyes! Cao Jinbiao was carrying a spear which instantly shot out like a shadow of a dragon, suffused with a terrifying undtion, and instantly advanced towards Ye Xiwen. ¡®Smack!¡¯ It seemed as if Ye Xiwen had eyes on his back as well. He instantly turned around and grabbed the spear with one hand. ¡°Bang!¡± After catching the spear so effortlessly, Ye Xiwen took a step and instantly appeared in front of Cao Jinbiao and pped a palm on his chest. ¡°Bang!¡± Cao Jinbiao solidly suffered a direct hit on his chest from Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm, but he didn¡¯t possess the incredible defense of the Fire Lin beast and the strength of 11 Dragons directly sted into his chest and instantly turned his internal organs into mince meat! He died a violent death in a sh! It took a long time to exin all of this, but in fact, but it had all happened very fast, and at this time, thest remaining Xiantian master of the Cao family, Cao Xing, had be terrified of Ye Xiwen after he had seen the two other Xiantian masters of his family, getting killed so easily at the hands of a Ye Xiwen, who had just entered into the Xiantian realm. This was something iprehensible to him. However at this time, it was toote to escape. Ye Xiwen instantly threw the spear with such an incredible strength that it immediately reached Cao Xing, and pierced his body and the immense force present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s throw directly carried Cao Xing, along with the spear, into the magma where he instantly burned to charcoal. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 75 – Yi Yuan Main Sect (NT: Thanks to sai pakpati (UK), Alexander Engblom (Sweden), Galen Kellner (US), Thomas Metzger (Pittsburgh), n Jones (Brooklyn, NY), james pape (Arizona), Anonymous (Norway), Amir (Israel) for sponsoring the Grand Release of Chapters 74,75,76 and 77) Chapter 75 ¨C Yi Yuan Main Sect In a very short period of time, the Fire Lin beast had been crippled and the three Xiantian masters of the Cao family had all been killed single-handedly by Ye Xiwen. The sudden turn of events had left all of the warriors dumbstruck, but at this time, those warriors realized that their lives had already been saved by Ye Xiwen and shouted in session out of happiness. ¡°Kill these Cao family bastards, they actually conspired to kill us!¡± ¡°Kill, kill them all!¡± ¡°I willpletely eradicate Cao family!¡± After facing such a life and death situation, now, many warriors had survived because of the unexpected appearance of Ye Xiwen and this had boosted their morale. They were in high spirits and without wasting any time, they roared and rushed towards the warriors of the Cao family, who were still mourning the deaths of their strongest experts. Ye Xiwen did not say anything and arrived at the side of Fire Lin beast and lifted his de in a stance. The Fire Lin beast had been crippled by a punch from Ye Xiwen and couldn¡¯t even move. Ye Xiwen finally stabbed his de into its body and put it out of its miseries. Ye Xiwen received the corpse of Fire Lin beast in his storage ring, as it had the blood of Fire Qilin in its body and its whole body could be considered as a treasure, even though it had not fully matured before dying. However, if it hadpletely transformed into a fully grown Fire Lin beast then Ye Xiwen would have been unable to deal with it. When it had swallowed the Blue ming Lotus, it had then entered into the growth period of rapid transformation and if given enough time, it could have even reached the Xiantian sixth stage in just one year. Fire Lin beast had just entered the growth period and after fully maturing, it would have be an absolutely terrifying demon beast in this locality and would have brought disaster on everyone, but fortunately, before it could fully mature, it had been killed by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Brother Ye, I didn¡¯t expect you to be all right!¡± Dai Xiaohua came up and said. About those Houtian realm warriors of the Cao family, he simply didn¡¯t care because this incident hade to a closure along with deaths of the three Xiantian masters of the Cao family and Fire Lin beast and killing these warriors of the Houtian realm would only be a waste of time. Although Cao family was on the verge ofplete extinction, but those warriors were quite furious for being conspired against by the Cao family because they could have lost their lives pointlessly. Both sides had started to fight, but soon, Wu Shaoyang also joined the battle, and once a Xiantian master like him joined the fray, immediately, this fight had turned into a one-sided massacre, and soon, Cao family warriors had beenpletely massacred. ¡°Brother Ye, thanks for saving our lives today and if I ever got an opportunity in the future, I would certainly return the favor.¡± Wu Shaoyang said, ¡°I am going back and reveal this news to the public, good-bye.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. After a while, everyone had left, leaving only Ye Xiwen and Dai Xiaohua behind in the cave, because those warriors had faced such a life-threatening experience in this cave and were reluctant to stay here. ¡°Brother Ye, it is needless to say that I will return the favor and if you ever need help with something,e find me in the Yun Cheng city!¡± Dai Xiaohua said whileughing. Ye Xiwen nodded and though Dai Xiaohua had not said something pleasant to hear, but after spending time with him, Ye Xiwen had finallye to understand his character. Ye Xiwen knew that the words he just said seemed fancy, but they still were a lot more meaningful. Dai Xiaohua was still young and was an outstanding genius who had already entered the Xiantian realm, so how could he possibly not enter the city of Yun Cheng, which was a necessity for all the disciples of Dai family Sect. ¡°I think we will soon also be able to meet again!¡± Dai Xiaohua ?ughed, ¡°Looking at Brother Ye¡¯s talent, you would certainly be going to the Yi Yuan Main Sect and I am sure that very soon, you will be an outstanding disciple of the Yi Yuan Main Sect and when the timees, we should be able to meet again in the meeting of the warriors of four great Sects.¡± ¡°Meeting of the warriors of four great Sects?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Brother Ye, you don¡¯t know that the four great Sects of our Yue State jointly holds the meeting of outstanding warriors including some well-known figuresing from all over Great Yue State!¡± Dai Xiaohua said. ¡°Sometimes, the masters of the royal family also join in, in short, thepetition is going to be very fierce, but I think the strength of Brother Ye is more than enough and standing out won¡¯t be an issue for you.¡± Ye Xiwen did not ask anything more because right now, he had not even entered into the Main Sect, so there were a lot of things that he still did not know about, but once he entered into the Main Sect then these things won¡¯t remain hidden from his eyes, and he would eventuallye to know about them. ¡°Then I¡¯ll say good-bye. I must rush toward Yun Cheng city, you know, this time I secretly ran out on my own and did not go along with my team.¡± Dai Xiaohua said. The four big Sects of the Great Yue State were located at the four corners of the State, each in the east, west, north and south direction which worked as the four gateways and supported the State. Yi Yuan Main Sect was located in the west direction, and Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School was located further in the southwest, although separated by arge distance, but one could travel this distance in one day by riding a flight-type demon beast, but Yun Cheng city was located in the northern part of Great Yue State and even by riding on a flight-type demon beast, it would take half a month time, therefore this time, Dai Xiaohua was in a lot of tensionpared to Ye Xiwen. ¡°En, I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll meet again someday!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. After bidding farewell to Dai Xiaohua, Ye Xiwen began to travel alone. ............................. Two months time passed in a blink of an eye. Therge entrance to the Yi Yuan Main Sect was located in the western part of Yue State and when Ye Xiwen arrived there, he saw that it waspletely bustling with people, who had arrived from more than one hundred sub-schools. These people were actually the geniuses from all over the Yue State as well as many visitors who hade along with them. And like Ye Xiwen, they hade to enter into the Yi Yuan Main Sect. ¡°So this is the Yi Yuan Main Sect where the genius disciples from various Yi Yuan Sub-schoolse to study.¡± Ye Xiwen looked from afar and saw dozens of miles away, an endless mountain range of ten huge mountains that looked like the mountains of Immortals, and resembled a sacred mountainous region. Each and every one of those mountain peaks were so high, as if they were piercing the sky itself, covered with clouds and mist curling around the mountains. Countless waterfalls were traversing horizontally down those mountains and it appeared as if the gxies were falling from the seventh heaven. Among these endless mountains, a pce could be seen, rising steeply from the level ground, and well blended with the surrounding environment, which seemed to resemble the nature itself. The most spectacr thing was that in the depth of the mountain range, several pces could be seen in a row, visibly floating above the tall peaks and the whole scenery looked like a city in the mountains. Ye Xiwen was amazed at the scene which had unfolded in front of him. It clearly resembled a paradise andpared with thendscape and environment present in the Yi Yuan Main Sect, Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s environment was nothing. And that was the reason why many experts would rathere to these Great Sects. Coming to the Main Sect was simr to living in a paradise on the earth, which was going to be a unique experience for Ye Xiwen who hade from a different world. Even from dozens of miles away, Ye Xiwen could clearly feel the intermittent waves of strong and rich Lingqi present in the wind which was very important for cultivating. With each blow of air on his face and with each breath he took, he would feel a hundred vessels opening inside his body giving afortable feeling to him. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know that how many spiritual veins had been buried in these mountains by the Main Sect to make the air so rich in Lingqi. If practiced here, then he would certainly gain twice the result with half the effort! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 76 – Senior disciple Shi Yi Chapter 76 ¨C Senior disciple Shi Yi No wonder that Main Sect had chosen such a ce as its base because even with low qualifications and talent, it was possible to enter into the Xiantian realm with little practice. Moreover, the disciples of Yi Yuan sub-schools, although one could not say that all were peerless geniuses, but their qualifications were still not so bad. And once the disciples of the Houtian ninth stage would enter into the Main Sect, they would be able to break through to the Xiantian realm within few years. If practiced in the environment of sub-schools then they would be able to step into the Xiantian realm by the time they reach the age of 30 years old! Resources and environment of the sub-schools and Main Sect varied greatly. Although the difference was only a few years to enter into the Xiantian realm, but practicing for entering into the Xiantian realm inside the Main Sect and practicing for the same without entering the Main Sect were not the same things. The difference was only a few years, but the gap between them was already very big, because withoutpetition and proper environment for cultivation, there was a high possibility for this gap to widen. Those who had already entered the Xiantian realm before entering into the Main Sect were the so-called seed disciples, who would immediately receive various resources from the Yi Yuan Main Sect to ensure that they should be able to have a rapid increase in their cultivation in a short time. This was also the biggest attraction for all of the geniuses and many schools would send their genius disciples to practice in the Main Sect. And since these disciples were already considered geniuses from their respective schools and once they would practice in the favorable environment of the Main Sect then they would definitely get stronger, that is why, the disciples passing out of the Main Sect or other four big Sects of the Great Yue State were never weak. Ye Xiwen had some mixed feelings about this because he had just arrived at the Main Sect and he didn¡¯t know about the strength level of other geniuses, who had alsoe this year, and he also didn¡¯t know how much they had already practiced and how much they would progress after practicing in the favorable environment of Main Sect. He knew that things were going to be tough from this point onwards and he needed to work hard to surpass others. After thinking about it, Ye Xiwen felt a kind of passionate feeling building inside his heart, because now, these formidable opponents would be a driving force for his cultivation. However, right now, the first thing to do was to find the people of the Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School. Suddenly, from the sky, a giant demon bird descended down and standing on its top was a decent looking man. He smiled towards Ye Xiwen and said: ¡°Younger brother, you should be this year¡¯s new disciple from a sub-school right?¡± ¡°I am!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°Brother is very talented, so young and you are already a master of the Xiantian realm, and presumably also a seed disciple.¡± The manughed and said, ¡°My name is Shi Yi, and I am an inner disciple.¡± ¡°Greeting Brother Shi Yi, I am Ye Xiwen.¡± Ye Xiwen said and he could easily see through the depth of Shi Yi¡¯s breath and knew that he waspletely harmless but his cultivation had already reached a very high level because unlike other Xiantian experts, who also contained a part of non converted Houtian Zhen Qi in their bodies, his breath was alreadyplete and rich, as if he had already be one with the nature. Ye Xiwen concluded that Shi Yi was definitely a master of Xiantian fifth stage and he could be among the top inner disciples. Of course there was noparison between the strength of core disciples of the Main Sect and the core disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain, because the core disciples from the Main Sect could go to the sub-schools and be their head, or sovereign. This was the difference. ¡°Brother Ye, do you want to go inside?¡± Shi Yi said, ¡°If you want, you maye up and I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡± ¡°It is greatly appreciated brother, I am a disciple of the Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School and I don¡¯t know where they are because I did note along with them.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°I know where people from different sub-schools live,e on, I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Shi Yi said. ¡°Thank you!¡± Ye Xiwen jumped upon the back of the demon bird and although he had not ridden demon birds, but he knew about how to do it. He immediately concentrated an influx of Zhen Qi at the soles of his feet and firmly adsorbed on the demon bird¡¯s back. ¡°Go!¡± Shi Yi shouted and the demon bird quickly moved waving its huge wings, flying into the clouds, suddenly Ye Xiwen felt like the wind was blowing and stinging on his skin like des made of air, but fortunately, Ye Xiwen had covered his whole body with Xiantian Zhen Qi , and therefore did not feel anything. This demon bird was so fast that in a moment, they had already reached the inner parts of the Yi Yuan Main Sect and he could not help but feel amazed at the beauty of this ce and sighed with emotion. After careful examination, he saw tens of mountain peaks that were so high that the several pces, atop these peaks, looked like starry sky from below. After Shi Yi¡¯s exnation, Ye Xiwen found out that these ten enormous peaks represented ten branch-veins of the Yi Yuan School and legend said that in the past, the founder of the Yi Yuan School had handed over these 10 branch veins to 10 of his best disciples. The first ten mountain peaks were now governed by people of the Yi Yuan School, holding the reins of the Main Sect. Meanwhile, their strength was also unpredictable and all of them were Zhen Dao experts, possessing strengths even more terrifying than the masters of the Xiantian realm, and to what extent, even Shi Yi didn¡¯t know. Ye Xiwen knew that Zhen Dao masters were considered the authentic disciples of the Yi Yuan Main Sect and they also possessed terrifying strength, capable enough to kill any experts of the Xiantian realm easily. Even in such a big influential Sect like the Yi Yuan Main Sect, there were only around a hundred Zhen Dao experts. Besides first ten leaders and those other Zhen Dao disciples, in the Yi Yuan School, the disciples were divided into inner sect disciples, core disciples and outer sect disciples. With the vast resources offered by the Yi Yuan Main Sect to the inner sect disciples, they would be able to break into the Xiantian realm in just few years so the number of inner sect disciples was always morepared to that of outer sect disciples. In fact, number of inner sect disciples would be thergest of about 50,000, followed by core sect disciples and least number of outer sect disciples. Ye Xiwen had gained a direct insight into the true strength of Yi Yuan Main Sect. Because having thousands of Xiantian warriors was really incredible for a Sect. Shi Yi told Ye Xiwen that the new disciples from the sub-schools would go through the examination, and there, it will be decided which ¡®peak¡¯ they would go to. And during the examination, if one was to give an outstanding performance, then there was a chance to get selected to study under the elder, which was a great honor for the disciple and his status would also increase. In a very short span of time, the demon bird flew closer to the settlements of the disciples. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- (NT: I will release Chapter 77 in few hours.) Chapter 77 – Bullying Chapter 77 ¨C Bullying ¡°This is the courtyard for disciple of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School, I will leave you here.¡± The wings of the Demon bird closed down and it descended on a mountain peak. This mountain peak was located in the more remote area, but several buildings were present on it. The disciples of other sub-schools were also concentrated on several other mountain peaks, although somewhat far away in the remote areas because Main Sect valued strength, and it was obvious that disciples from the sub-school would be weakerpared to disciples of the Main Sect. ¡°Thank you!¡± Ye Xiwen climbed up the stairs and quickly arrived at the hillside where the courtyard for disciples of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School was located. Ye Xiwen had not reached the top yet, when he heard a loud voice. ¡°How can you do this, this is our Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School¡¯s courtyard, you cannot just barge in and upy our ce!¡± Ye Xiwen heard the voice of the only female top core disciple of Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s Yi Yuan School, Qian Wanru. ¡°Hey, why not, we have more people and you have so few, a total of only twenty. So what if we want to upy your courtyard? You havee from the a small countryside school and you don¡¯t need this much space, but this time, our Shaoyang Yi Yuan School has sent 50 people, so you separate out two-thirds of this courtyard and give it to us! ¡° ¡°This is not right, because this is the ce where all of our forefathers from Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School once lived and practiced, why must we give this to you?¡± ¡°I tell you what, let¡¯s decide with our strengths!¡± An arrogant voice resounded in the courtyard. Ye Xiwen rapidly climbed up the steps and after reaching the top, he soon saw a group of approximately thirty young people, surrounding the disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School in the courtyard. Shaoyang Yi Yuan School! Ye Xiwen frowned at the name of this school. This name, for Ye Xiwen, was definitely not strange because Shaoyang Yi Yuan School and Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School had been hostile towards each other for god knows how many years. This enmity between these two sub-schools started in the ancient era and no one knew the reason behind it. However, after so many years of holding grudges and hatred towards each other, there was nothing that could be done to stop this sh between the two sub-schools. Two groups were confronting each other where one belonged to the Qingfeng Mountain, about 20 in number and all over the middle Houtian ninth stage and were being led by Zhang Yang, Qian Wanru and Wu Hao. Among them, Zhang Yang had already entered into the Xiantian realm and had transformed 10% of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi, while Qian Wanru and Wu Hao had both reached the peak of Houtian ninth stage. The group on the other side belonged to the Shaoyang Yi Yuan School, headed by a young guy who currently had a sneer on his face. He was also a Xiantian first stage master, but with his 20% Zhen Qi already transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi, he was a lot stronger than Zhang Yang. Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School this year¡®s core disciples really had rtively mediocre strength. ¡°Huo Cheng, do not go too far with the bullying!¡± At this time, Wu Hao spoke. ¡°Bullying? You call that bullying, ha ha, a moment ago, that guy called Ye Feng, who was supposed to be the most powerful disciple from your school, easily copsed in front of me! He is lucky that I almost stopped myself from wasting his cultivation!¡± Huo Cheng said with acent smile on his face. In the back of the crowd, Ye Feng¡¯splexion suddenly changed. So, that was the reason why Ye Xiwen had not seen him in the crowd because he had already been wounded. Ye Xiwen¡¯splexion suddenly changed. In this entire world, he loved his family the most and someone had dared to touch a member of his family and by doing so he had also invited the wrath of the emperor. ¡°Fuck off!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted. Ye Xiwen¡¯s shout had immediately causedmotion among the disciples of the Shaoyang Yi Yuan School when they saw a seventeen-year-old boy was ferociously looking at them. ¡°Ye Xiwen!¡± When Zhang Yang saw Ye Xiwen, a sudden happiness bloomed on his face. ¡°It¡¯s Brother Ye!¡± ¡°Brother Ye!¡± All of the disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School had an expression of surprise on their faces when they suddenly saw Ye Xiwen, and now they felt rxed because now they knew that they had survived this crisis, because in the present situation, even Zhang Yang and Ye Feng, the two Xiantian masters had been unable to do anything but in their hearts, they had already epted Ye Xiwen as their leader. After all, months ago, Ye Xiwen had easily beheaded a Xiantian master, although at that time, Liu Zhi¡¯s strength had not been that much, and his transformation of Xiantian Zhen Qi was inferiorpared to the current Zhen Qi transformation of Zhang Yang and Ye Feng, but Ye Xiwen was also only a Houtian realm warrior back then and had still been able to behead a Xiantian master like Liu Zhi. Moreover, Ye Xiwen had also received Xiantian Dan and Blood Yuan fruit like Ye Feng and Zhang Yang, so it was easy to guess that he would definitely have entered into the Xiantian realm and his previous tyrannical strength would have be even more tyrannical. Indeed, as they had thought, in thest two months, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had progressed by leaps and bounds and he had be tyrannically power, even though he was still at the Xiantian first stage. He had fully consolidated his inner state within the Xiantian realm at the first stage, and half of his Zhen Qi hadpletely transformed into Xiantian Zhen Qi. He had experienced breakthroughs in all of his Xiantian level martial arts techniques where he had reached the peak of firstyer of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, which made his slim body to contain a total strength of 19 Dragons. And now that he had reached the peak of transformation of 50% Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, he could even contend with the Xiantian third stage experts and the most important thing was that the now, ordinary warriors of the Xiantian third stage wouldn¡¯t be able to injure him. He had finally reached the peak of the Xiantian part of ¡°Celestial Step¡±, and in just two months, his speed had nearly doubledpared to the speed he had while fighting the Fire Lin beast. ¡°Changing muscles shrinking bones technique¡± had been practiced to the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm and even while standing beside a Xiantian master, Ye Xiwen could not be discovered and would even be able to change his appearance. He had achieved the best benefits in the ¡°Cold moon beheader¡± and had actually practiced the ¡°Full moon beheader¡± to the ¡®Dacheng realm¡¯. Only the progress was not much for ¡°Coiling Dragon palm¡±, which was such a difficult martial art to practice that Ye Xiwen could only grasp a little more knowledge about its first move ¡°Hidden Dragon rising from the abyss¡± Now only the masters of the Xiantian third stage who had transformed 60% of their Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi could pose a threat to him. But with such advancements in his strength, the price naturally was veryrge. After entering into the Xiantian realm, the low-grade spirit stones consumption had increased dramatically and almost all of the spirit stones he possessed had already been burnt in thest two months, and now, low-grade spirit stone were simply not good enough for practicing Xiantian techniques, so he could only use spirit stones which were quite expensive. In other words, Ye Xiwen had once again be poor! ¡ª¡ª- (NT: With this chapter, i conclude the Grand release for Saturday, though it dragged on a bit, but you will still get two chapters, chapter 78 & 79, on Sunday so enjoy! :D) (NT: Also, i may release GSI chapter 4(Sunday) depending on my schedule for MGS releases but i cannot promise right now) Raised so far: $68 (227%) Queue cleared for Chapter 78 Chapter 79 will be a regr release for Sunday along with sponsored Chapter 78 Chapter 78 – Like a dead dog Chapter 78 ¨C Like a dead dog However, Ye Xiwen was quite used to his special way of cultivation and he needed to arrange for surplus spirit stones to continue practicing in the ¡®Special Space¡¯. After entering into the Xiantian realm, the crazy consumption rate of spirit stones had led to a rapid increase in his strength and speed, to a terrifying extent. People of Shaoyang Yi Yuan School were also giving somewhat strange looks to Ye Xiwen, because they did not know why disciples of Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School looked so overjoyed after the sudden appearance of this young man. ¡°Who are you?¡± Huo Cheng asked. ¡°Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School¡¯s Ye Xiwen.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said, ¡°Who wounded my brother?¡± ¡°It was him, that Huo Cheng!¡± ¡°Yes, it was him!¡± Many of the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School immediately said while pointing towards Huo Cheng. ¡°So what if it was me!¡± Huo Cheng looked at Ye Xiwen with disdain and said, ¡°Are you that Ye Feng¡¯s younger brother?¡± ¡°That Ye Feng is a guy with an undeserved reputation and mediocre strength, that¡¯s all he is.¡± Huo Cheng said indifferently. (NT: with an undeserved reputation (idiom); unwarranted fame) ¡°You are just an ignorant dog who has actually dared to venture into our territory.¡± Ye Xiwen looked maliciously at Huo Cheng and said. At this time, the conflict between the two sub-schools had also attracted many onlookers consisting mainly of disciples living on the neighboring mountain peaks. Both Qingfeng Mountain and Shaoyang Yi Yuan Schools were one of a dozen or more sub-schools and the disciples from these sub-schools had settled on dozens of mountain peaks. Although more than a dozen mountain peaks were upied by the disciples of these sub-schools, but for the entire Yi Yuan School, this was still a small and insignificant area and nothing more. The key figures of Yi Yuan School, the elders, the high-ranked disciples and others, all of them had their own separate mountain peak as personal domain. It was difficult to imagine, how big Yi Yuan School actually was! ¡°You actually dared to abuse me!¡± Huo Cheng shouted with an angry look on his face. ¡°Abused? That was just the beginning because now I will beat the crap out of you!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and in just a step, using Celestial Step, he arrived in front of Huo Cheng in a sh. ¡°Did you think you can juste here and run wildly and no one will punish you?¡± Ye Xiwen mercilessly shot his big hand towards the face of Huo Cheng. Until a moment ago, Huo Cheng had been feeling triumphed when he suddenly saw Ye Xiwen¡¯s handing towards him. He wanted to dodge but simply couldn¡¯t because Ye Xiwen¡¯s speed was incredibly fast, almost like a whirlwind, and in an instant, Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand had approached Huo Cheng¡¯s face. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s big hand pped maliciously on the face of Huo Cheng. He suddenly screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood and along with that, some of his teeth flew out. All the people present there had their jaws dropped. They knew about Huo Cheng¡¯s strength because being able to convert 20% of Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi was rare for masters at such a young age. However, this Ye Xiwen was simply too terrifying. His palm was so fast that Huo Cheng had been unable to dodge it and had suffered a severe p on the face. Moreover, from the look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, it seemed as if he hadn¡¯t put any effort at all. Shaoyang Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciples broke out in cold sweat, and Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciples were cheering for Ye Xiwen because his strength really had be even more unfathomable and tyrannical. ¡°You ...¡± Huo Cheng looked at Ye Xiwen with a look of disbelief. ¡°What you!¡± Ye Xiwen again pped him on the other side of his face and suddenly, a few more teeth went flying out. There was a huge difference between their strengths. Although Huo Cheng could be considered as an outstanding genius in the crowd of this year¡¯s disciples, who had already transformed 20% of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. If he had faced someone else then he would not be so miserable, but to his bad luck, he had dared to provoke Ye Xiwen. ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Huo Cheng was extremely furious in his heart and mind, because from infancy to adulthood, he had always been called a cultivation genius and had already gained fame at a young age by getting attention from everyone, but just now, he had received such humiliation. Both of his eyes had reddened and one could see hatred for Ye Xiwen in his eyes who had humiliated him in front of such arge crowd, consisting of disciples from many sub-schools. When he hade to bully the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School, Huo Cheng never thought that he himself would be bullied instead. Huo Cheng drew out his sword de and it brandished a dazzling Swordlight that instantly rushed towards Ye Xiwen with lightning speed. (NT: Huo Cheng¡®s weapon is a ¡®ji¨¤n sh¨¥n¡¯ which is a sword de) Although Huo Cheng did not have the strength to hit back in front of tyrannical Ye Xiwen and had been pped twice that had made him face such a disgrace in front of everyone. But, he was strong and was indeed a genius of Shaoyang Yi Yuan School and at this time, the strength of a master of peak Xiantian first stagepletely unleashed in this sword attack. Ye Xiwen sneered and used Rushing thunder hand to instantly grasp Huo Cheng¡¯s sword de. ¡°Dang!¡± A loud metal shing sound resounded everywhere and Ye Xiwen actually firmly grabbed Huo Cheng¡¯s sword de in his hand. ¡°Bang dang!¡± ¡°Bang dang!¡± ¡°Bang dang!¡± Ye Xiwen kneaded that sword de as if it was made up of y, and its size decreased section by section. After entering into the Xiantian realm and practicing ¡°Tyrant body technique¡± to such a profound level, not only his strength had increased dramatically, but the toughness of his body had also increased to such an extent that now, it had be difficult for weapons like spears and swords to hurt him. Ye Xiwen kneaded the sword de along with the Swordqi and directly snapped it. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Huo Cheng simply couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when his sword de snapped in the grip of Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand. Ye Xiwen sneered and without giving any chance to Huo Cheng, he rushed like an Azure Dragon rising out of the abyss and instantly trod on his chest! ¡°Bang!¡± Huo Cheng couldn¡¯t respond and his body was sent flying like a broken kite, upside down, directly towards the several disciples of Shaoyang Yi Yuan School with such a forceful impact that made them to fly out and most of them fainted immediately. ¡°Get the hell out of here!¡± With a cold look in his eyes, Ye Xiwen said, ¡°You absolutely cannot barge into this ce because it belongs to our Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School, keep that in mind!¡± All of the disciples of Shaoyang Yi Yuan School were giving angry looks to Ye Xiwen, but did not dare to say anything, after all, a powerful Xiantian master like Huo Cheng had been beaten so easily and they were not even in the Xiantian realm. So, how could they dare to say anything to a tyrannical Xiantian master like Ye Xiwen? Although they were at the peak of Houtian ninth stage and Xiantian realm was only one step across, but the difference was like heaven and earth between the Houtian realm and Xiantian realm. At this time, the disciples of other Yi Yuan Schools started talking about Ye Xiwen among themselves. ¡°Who is he? Why haven¡¯t I seen him before?¡± ¡°Quite fierce, that Huo Cheng was definitely not weak, but he still couldn¡¯t hit back like a dead dog!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Regr release of Chapter 79 in few hours. I would suggest those who live in a time zone where its already night to go to bed because it may take time) Chapter 79 – Father becomes the ancestor Chapter 79 ¨C Father bes the ancestor ¡°I never thought that there was actually such a fierce man in Qingfeng Mountain sub-school!¡± ¡°Right, Qingfeng Mountain sub-school is located in the remote areas of Great Yue State and rarely produces any powerful masters but I never expected to see such an incredible master, originating from there.¡± ¡°Gee, it seems like things are going to be interesting because their genius has been defeated so easily and Shaoyang sub-school won¡¯t easily forget about this.¡± ¡°Yes ah, I heard that the Shaoyang sub-school also has a very strong genius and his strength is close to the strengths of several seed disciples, what is that guy called again?¡± ¡°He is called Wen Shiyang.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it, Wen Shiyang, except those few seeds disciples, he can be considered a very powerful master.¡± ¡°Gee, I did not expect Qingfeng Mountain sub-school to have such a fierce character like him. He definitely didn¡¯t use his full strength against Huo Cheng and I am sure that when the timees, we will get to see his true strength.¡± Seeing that people of Shaoyang sub-school had started to leave, Ye Xiwen did not stay there for too long and ran towards the inner courtyard. After entering the inner courtyard, he asked: ¡°What the hell is going on, how did these bastards dare to bully our people.¡± Zhang Yang looked at Ye Xiwen with a baffled look in his eyes. Ye Xiwen had be even more powerful than thest time, and earlier, Zhang Yang had been able to see through his cultivation level but now, he absolutely couldn¡¯t see it at all. Although originally, Ye Xiwen always had a superior fighting strength and had also beheaded a Xiantian master, but at that time, he was still in the Houtian realm and his cultivation was visible to others, but now that he had transformed half of his Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, his inner state had easily surpassed Zhang Yang, who had only transformed 10% of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. Although Ye Xiwen was still in the Xiantian first stage but his fighting strength wasparable to a master of Xiantian third stage. All of this had urred in a few months time and if he had not personally seen it, he probably would not have believed it. Few months ago, he had heard from Ye Feng about his young brother that he was just a master of Houtian third stage and was not even qualified to be a core disciple, but in these few months, hepletely changed. But anyway, Ye Xiwen was also a disciple of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and the stronger he would be, the better for the reputation of their school. ¡°This is not the first time, we have been dealing with those guys from Shaoyang sub-school for days and each time, theye looking for a fight with new and ridiculous excuses. This time, they wanted to upy our ce, that¡¯s really outrageous!¡± Zhang Yang said in an angry tone. ¡°This was obviously a case of Shaoyang sub-school¡¯s subterfuge because this mountain peak was so big that it could amodate even 500 disciples at once, so all they were trying to do was nothing more than finding a pretext toe and bully us.¡± ¡°Before, I was not present here and your elder brother had an argument with them and they injured him.¡± Zhang Yang exined. ¡°Them? There was someone else?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Yes, if it was only that Huo Cheng, then your brother with 20% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi was enough to handle him. Although, Huo Cheng¡¯s 20% Xiantian Zhen Qi transformation was superior to your brother but he would still have been able to protect himself. The main reason behind his injuries was the strongest disciple of Shaoyang sub-school, called Wen Shiyang, who is already a master of Xiantian second stage. He was the one who seriously wounded your brother. I came back and saw that Huo Cheng was about to destroy your brother¡¯s cultivation and rescued your brother. By that time, Wen Shiyang had already left.¡± Zhang Yang exined the matter to Ye Xiwen. ¡°What!¡± Ye Xiwen did not know that they were going to destroy Ye Feng¡¯s cultivation otherwise he would not have showed mercy to Huo Cheng by only injuring him with a kick. He would never have allowed him to get away so easily. However, it was really amazing that Ye Feng had not only entered into Xiantian realm, but he could transform 20% of his Zhen Qi into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, in such a short time of three months. Excellent natural talent, but their school had issued a Xiantian Pellet to them veryte, unlike other sub-schools where they gave Xiantian Pellets to train some geniuses, years before sending them to the Main Sect. When Qingfeng Mountain sub-school had inquired, they found out that many disciples had already entered into the Xiantian realm in other sub-schools, and even without the resources, Ye Feng had achieved the same feat by taking the same time for breaking through to the Xiantian realm. So, considering the natural talent of Ye Feng, his breaking through to the Xiantian second stage was not surprising for Ye Xiwen. But anyway, under the tilt of the Main Sect and its abundant resources, the advantages of the using resources for cultivation in thest few years could be regarded as nothing. When Ye Xiwen heard that Ye Feng had been wounded and had almost lost his cultivation, he suddenly became furious. In order to bully the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, they were willing to go as far as destroying someone¡¯s cultivation? This time, Shaoyang sub-school had really crossed the line. ¡°Who is the elder sent for escorting our school¡¯s group to Main Sect? Where is he right now?¡± Ye Xiwen asked, because in general, these sub-school disciples would not go alone to the Main Sect and the elders would apany them inside the school. One reason was to protect them from any ident the way to Main Sect, and secondly, also to protect them from getting bullied in the Main Sect. This was the world which followed the rule of ¡®Might is Right¡¯ and strength was the only parameter that measured everything. And the other reason was that these sub-schools would exploit their connections with their disciples in the future. Although now, they studied in the Main Sect but human rtions could be useful to a great extent and when these disciples would be high-level experts or key figures in the Main Sect, they would then be the biggest backers for these sub-schools. ¡°This time, ancestor Lin hase with us!¡± Zhang Yang said. ¡°Ancestor Lin!¡± Ye Xiwen asked in surprise. How could the ancestor personally escort them because it was never expected of an ancestor to personally escort the disciples to the Main Sect as it was the job of an elder. ¡°I see, you left early so you do not know. Ancestor Lin Zhantian has already retired and the new ancestor of Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School is your father.¡± Zhang Yang said. ¡°What!¡± Ye Xiwen was startled. So, he only left for few months and such a big change took ce in the school where his father actually became the ancestor of Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School! Although Ye Kongming was originally an elder, but the status of an elder or an ancestor could never be same. The status of the ancestors of sub-schools wasparable to that of the ¡®true disciples¡¯ of the Main Sect and his father had directly been promoted from the position of an elder to that of an ancestor. ¡°One month ago, ancestor Lin resigned and hase to the Main Sect for debriefing!¡± Zhang Yang exined. ¡°Where is the ancestor Lin right now?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Raised so far: $38 (127%) Monday: Chapter 80 wille as a Regr release along with sponsored Chapter 81.

But now at such a critical time, they actually could not find him! If Lin Zhantian was here at that time, then all of this would never have happened and Ye Feng would not have been seriously injured by them. ¡°About this, we do not know where the ancestor Lin is right now. When ancestor had just arrived, he was summoned and not just him, elders of other sub-schools were summoned as well.¡± Zhang Yang said, although at this time, the position of their sub-school¡¯s ancestor had been taken over by Ye Kongming, but since his childhood, Zhang Yang had been using the term ¡®ancestor¡¯ to refer Lin Zhantian, and therefore, suddenly changing his habit of calling him ¡®ancestor¡¯ was somewhat difficult for him. Also, no one would go to tangle over such a trivial matter. ¡°It seems like something happened and that¡¯s why they were called on a short notice.¡± While talking to Zhang Yang, Ye Xiwen entered the room and glimpsed at Ye Feng who was lying on the bed. Hisplexion looked pale and his breath was also intermittent and Ye Ruxue was on his side, taking care of him at the moment. Ye Xiwen had not seen Ye Ruxue forst three months, and right now, he noticed that her breath was still firmly fixed on the peak Houtian ninth stage and there seemed to be a thin line and once she broke through this line then she would be able to break through to the Xiantian realm, and with the help of Ye Xiwen¡¯s Xiantian Pellet that he had left for her, this was only a matter of time. ording to Ye Xiwen¡¯s judgment, Ye Ruxue¡¯s strength had already stayed at the peak of Houtian ninth stage for some time and had fully consolidated, and there was a high possibility that she might experience a breakthrough this month and enter into the Xiantian realm. ¡°Brother, sister!¡± Ye Xiwen strode inside. ¡°Little brother, you are back!¡± Ye Feng noticed Ye Xiwening inside and smiled, but he had suffered serious injuries and suddenly, his face twitched. ¡°Brother, you must avenge our elder brother ah, that Wen Shiyang and Huo Cheng went simply too far!¡± Ye Ruxue indignantly said. Ye Xiwen also remembered that in his memories, when he was small and would often get bullied for being weak, both Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue would alwayse to his rescue, and therefore, the bond among three siblings had always been extremely strong. Although there was no blood rtion between Ye Xiwen and the other two, but the three of them were more intimate than blood-rted brothers and sisters. ¡°Junior sister Ye, since you were inside the room, you missed the fight where Brother Ye directly humiliated Huo Cheng in front of everyone and tidied him up like a dead dog.¡± At this time, Wu Hao answered for Ye Xiwen. ¡°Really?¡± Ye Ruxue said with a surprised look on her face, but she was also worried for her younger brother. Now, Ye Xiwen had been recognized by everyone as Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s strongest disciple and Ye Feng was the second. If they coulde to beat Ye Feng then Ye Xiwen would naturally be their next target. But ording to Wu Hao¡¯s statement, Huo Cheng had been defeated effortlessly by Ye Xiwen and while Wu Hao was exining things in detail, Ye Feng saw an indifferent look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face that made him resemble a person, tired of war. It was not that he doubted Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength, but thought that it was too inconceivable that Ye Xiwen had so easily tidied up that Huo Cheng. ¡°If what Brother Wu said is right then little brother, you have already vented my anger.¡± Ye Feng grinned and said. ¡°Vent, it¡¯s still too early.¡± Ye Xiwen coldly said, ¡°How can you possibly consider this matter as finished.¡± Ye Xiwen words were filled with killing intent. Originally, Ye Xiwen had counted on the elder who hade with the group to the Main Sect, but it seemed that he couldn¡¯t count on that at the moment, but when he heard that the elder of the Shaoyang sub-schools had also gone for the summons, he immediately had an idea that rather than asking someone else for help, he might as well just ask himself. Today, things might have gone worse if he had not arrived at a critical moment and when Ye Xiwen watched Ye Feng lying on the bed, finding it difficult to move, he was even more infuriated. How could he possibly let them off? People of Shaoyang sub-school were waiting for a chance when their elder was not present otherwise if he was present, then their n to bully Qingfeng Mountain sub-school would most likely have failed. Because their elder, sent to the Main Sect along with these elite disciples, was also an incredible master and could easily deal with the Xiantian level disciples as well. And today, when all of the elders had been summoned, the people of Shaoyang sub-school immediately came to bully the people of Qingfeng Mountain. They had obviously note for taking over the courtyard, and it was purely an excuse to provoke the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and nothing more. Ye Xiwen pulled out a bottle of medicinal pellets from a storage ring. There were many bottles of medicinal pills inside the storage ring that he had got from the Xiantian master, Luo Tian, and these medicinal pills were good for injuries. Although Ye Xiwen had consumed most of the medicinal pills but there were still some that he had saved for emergencies. After a dose of medicinal pills, Ye Feng¡¯s face immediately changed for better and he seemed to get better. A warrior¡¯s body itself was very strong, not to mention, these medicinal pills belonged to a Xiantian master, Luo Tian. Ye Xiwen estimated that Ye Feng would be able to recover in two or three days and should be able to perform at full strength in the entrance examination r. When Ye Xiwen saw that the condition of Ye Feng had considerably improved after consuming the pills, he gave out a sigh of relief and said: ¡°Brother, you just wait and see how I take revenge for you and vent your anger. Today, these Shaoyang bastards dared toe and bully us and if I do not teach them a lesson then won¡¯t that ruin our Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s reputation? And everyone would think of us as people from a weak sub-school.¡± Ye Xiwen words were deep and meant that only strong peoplemanded respect in this world and weak were regarded as fools. Competition was present everywhere and it was especially very fierce among the sub-schools. Only a powerful person couldmand respect and if Qingfeng Mountain sub-school didn¡¯t respond to the provocation of Shaoyang sub-school then it would definitely be regarded as a weak sub-school. So, if someone tried to punch, it was necessary to punch back even harder to prove one¡¯s strength in this world. Teaching Shaoyang sub-school a lesson now was the in the best interests of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. But, this was just a secondary reason and injuries of Ye Feng were the main reason why Ye Xiwen was so fixated on punishing those bullies of Shaoyang sub-school. Ye Xiwen ascertained the location of Shaoyang sub-school¡¯s courtyard and immediately went out followed by many disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. Shaoyang sub-school¡¯s courtyard was located not far from the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s courtyard, and only after awhile, Ye Xiwen was standing in front of Shaoyang sub-school. Ye Xiwen stepped forward and shouted: ¡°Wen Shiyang, get your ass over here!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s voice spread out along with a terrifying Zhen Qi throughout the courtyard, causing many nearby Shaoyang disciples to rush over to take a look at what was happening. ¡°Who are you? How dare you to be so provocative and unruly in front of our Shaoyang sub-school residence.¡± A young disciple came out and said. ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°You bastard, I will kill you!¡± The young disciple suddenly rushed furiously towards Ye Xiwen and his Quanjin twisted and sted out of his fists and went towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen¡¯s big hand stretched out, and it seemed as if the Lingqi had condensed around his hand to form an iron wall. Ye Xiwen fiercely struck his hand into that disciple¡¯s body. ¡°Bang!¡± The disciple directly flew out while spouting blood from his mouth and fainted instantly. This loud sound immediately attracted the attention of many disciples in the courtyard of Shaoyang sub-school and only after a moment, dozens of disciples had arrived andpletely surrounded Ye Xiwen. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Release of sponsored Chapter 81 may get dyed so i would rmend those in who live in the time zones, where its alreadyte, to not wait and go to bed??

They immediately recognized Ye Xiwen and were suddenly frightened because they could vividly remember that scene where Ye Xiwen had bedeviled a Xiantian master like Huo Cheng who was also one of the top genius disciples from their sub-school. ¡°Go tell Wen Shiyang toe out right now!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted. These disciples from Shaoyang sub-school had tried to take advantage of absence of the elders to thoroughly discredit Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and destroy its reputation, so all Ye Xiwen was trying to do was return the favor by doing the exact same thing, in the exact same pattern, to Shaoyang sub-school and intended to thoroughly defeat and crush their strongest disciple in front of everyone. Huo Cheng¡¯s reputation was not big enough, so defeating him didn¡¯t solve the purpose of ¡®tit for tat¡¯, so Ye Xiwen had personallye to y with Shaoyang sub-school¡¯s strongest disciple. ¡°Who are you, how dare you call Brother Wen¡¯s name in such a disrespectful manner!¡± At this time, a young disciple, who appeared to be in his twenties, came out of the courtyard and looked firmly at Ye Xiwen. ¡°A mere man from Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, daring to act wildly in front of our Shaoyang sub-school, you are really courting death.¡± The young man sneered and within few steps, he had already arrived in front of Ye Xiwen with an extremely fast speed, and at this moment, the imposing aura of a Xiantian master instantly released from his body and spread out. Ye Xiwen immediately knew who this man actually was. He was named Xu Liang and was one of the top three Xiantian disciples of the Shaoyang sub-school. Since Ye Xiwen had already met Huo Cheng and defeated him and when this man came out, he referred Wen Shiyang as Brother Wen, so he was not Wen Shiyang as well and could only be the third Xiantian master of the Shaoyang sub-school, Xu Liang. Xu Liang¡¯s strength was very high, almost not under Huo Cheng¡¯s strength, which proved the fact that this year¡¯s batch of top disciples from Shaoyang sub-school was indeed very powerful and no wonder they had dared to bully a rival sub-school. However, after transforming 50% of his Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi, the strength of Ye Xiwen was nowparable to that of ordinary Xiantian third stage masters, also, his own cultivation was at the peak of Xiantian first stage, so how could Xu Liang be his match? (NT: Ordinary Xiantian third stage masters are those who have only transformed 50% of their Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi) Ye Xiwen raised his hand to block the iing attack and with a ¡®Bang¡¯, a loud sound of air-explosion resounded everywhere. Xu Liang¡¯s offensive attack had been staggered right in front of Ye Xiwen, as if Xu Liang had collided into a huge iron wall, setting off a terrifying st that swept across. During the fight between Xiantian masters, almost each of their punches could easily burst into air-explosions, causing the air to vibrate and shake violently, just like how the ripples dance violently on the surface of ake, fluctuating and distorting its original calmness. Xu Liang¡¯s eyes widened with a sh of surprise clearly visible in his eyes. He obviously did not expect Ye Xiwen to able to easily block his blow, though his attack just now seemed hasty, but he knew in his heart, that beforeing out of the courtyard gate, he had already started to prepare a sudden surprise attack on Ye Xiwen, but he never thought that his nned out offensive attack would be useless against Ye Xiwen, who was just standing there with his one hand on his front side, like an imprable iron wall! ¡°My turn!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and threw out a lightning fast kick towards Xu Liang, apanied by a burst of crackling air explosions. Ye Xiwen¡¯s kick was so fast that it was blowing the sound of a whistle in the air, as it was going straight for Xu Liang. Xu Liang was well prepared and immediately leaped up to avoid Ye Xiwen¡¯s kick, but without any stagnation, Ye Xiwen did not even give him any time to gasp for a breath, and immediately pped out his palm. Rushing thunder hand, Pass like thunder and move like the wind! For a time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack looked simr to the ninth heaven¡¯s thunder. ¡°Bang!¡± Xu Liang lifted his hand to block, but immediately, a sudden burst of cracking sound resounded in the surrounding. The bones inside Xu Liang¡¯s arms had been broken under the direct impact of Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm attack, which possessed the strength of 19 Dragons which was quite terrifying because Xu Liang had only reached the strength of 2 Dragons and could never rival Ye Xiwen¡¯s tyrannical strength. Ye Xiwen had not even put any effort and had just shot his palm but even this was more than enough to instantly crush both arms of Xu Liang. The sound of breaking bones had suddenly scared the crowd of Shaoyang disciples. ¡°Ah!¡± Xu Liang screamed again and again. Although a few of them had already seen the one-sided beating of Huo Cheng at the hands of Ye Xiwen, and knew that he was very powerful, but they did not expect that Xu Liang would be so drastically injured by a single attack from Ye Xiwen. Xu Liang could not even stop a single move from Ye Xiwen! It was too fast to notice, but Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm attack also had an essence of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ present in it. He had already practiced ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm and it hade in handy. Instead of using his long de, he had used his fingertips to perform the skill of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯. He had also integrated the essence of this skill inside his body which had now be almost iparably tough like the reinforced Iron itself. Even without using his de, though losing a bit of its true power and range of attack, this attack was still tyrannically powerful and effective. Having the skill of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ and along with the essence of his Rushing thunder hand, his palm attack had be faster, stronger and terrifyingly heavy. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm rumbled and shot into the chest of Xu Liang breaking his breastbone immediately. Ye Xiwen had tried his best to control the power in this palm attack otherwise, if left unconstrained, this attack would have instantly killed Xu Liang. But even after restraining his strength, Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack contained such a terrifying force that it had directly sent Xu Liang flying into the crowd of Shaoyang disciples and the impact made him unconcious immediately. Silence! There was a pin-drop silence on the scene. When the spectating disciples of many sub-schools saw the instant defeat of Xu Liang at the hands of Ye Xiwen, all of them immediately gasped. Immediately afterwards, a buzzing sound of discussions instantly filled the surrounding area. ¡°How is this possible, Xu Liang was so easily defeated at the hands of this man?¡± ¡°That palm attack was definitely an astonishing ability!¡± ¡°This man is so powerful, I¡¯m afraid he can easilypete with Wen Shiyang!¡± ¡°And like always, these Xiantian masters will be stepping stones for someone else like that Huo Cheng and Xu Liang, although both of them are quite famous and would have be even more famous in the future, but now, they have be a stepping stone for this man! ¡° ¡°It has always been this way. These geniuses contend with each other and only the invincible ones walk the bloody path to sess. I¡¯ll wait to be powerful enough to be able to walk on the same path!¡± ¡°After this battle, regardless of the oue, the name of this person will spread throughout the Main Sect and I¡¯m afraid that before long, a lot of people wille to challenge him!¡± After defeating Xu Liang, Ye Xiwen stepped forward and shouted: ¡°Wen Shiyang,e out, if you¡¯re truly a man!¡± ¡°Who are you, state you name!¡± This time, a purple-robed young man, with a dignified look on his face, came out of the courtyard. ¡°You¡¯re Wen Shiyang?¡± Ye Xiwen nced at him and said. ¡°Who are you?¡± Wen Shiyang looked at Ye Xiwen and said. ¡°Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s Ye Xiwen!¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said, ¡°Are you the one who wounded my brother?¡± ¡°So you are Ye Feng¡¯s little brother. You dared toe here and actually caused ruckus and trouble for everyone. You are quite courageous aren¡¯t you? But you should have thought before offending the school regtions.¡± Wen Shiyang said. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Tuesday: Chapter 82 wille as a sponsored release. Raised so far: $18 (60%) Queue status for Chapter 82 (60%) Chapter 82 – Creative concept Chapter 82 ¨C Creative concept ¡°So you are Ye Feng¡¯s little brother. You dared toe here and actually caused ruckus and trouble for everyone. You are quite courageous aren¡¯t you? But you should have thought before offending the school regtions.¡± Wen Shiyang said. ¡°School regtions?¡± Ye Xiwenughed loudly. If people really cared about school regtions, then Ye Feng would not have been injured and all of this would not have happened as well. And those so-called school regtions were just an excuse to protect the weak. Strong never cared about these old regtions. Earlier when Wen Shiyang had bullied Ye Xiwen¡¯s fellow disciples then he did not think of school regtions, but now that the same thing had been done to his people, he suddenly remembered about it? It was quite hrious. ¡°Cut the crap, today I havee for just one thing, to return the favor by doing the same thing you did to my brother.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Wen Shiyang said and red at Ye Xiwen. He was the unrivaled genius of Shaoyang sub-school and no one dared to talk to him like this. So, the words of Ye Xiwen had made him extremely furious. Wen Shiyang rushed forward, almost like a blurred figure, while breaking through the sound barrier causing a terrifying piercing sound which spread throughout the sky. Immediately after that, many spectating disciples directly fell on the ground with their eardrums bleeding from this terrifying sound. ¡°ng!¡± A long de appeared in the hands of Wen Shiyang that he taken out from the storage ring and in a sh, his de instantly chopped out towards Ye Xiwen. Wen Shiyang was very powerfulpared to Huo Cheng or Xu Liang and was already at the Xiantian second stage with 30% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi. Although his transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi was only 10% more than the other two, but his strength was already twice their strength. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t demur and immediately unsheathed the long de from his back with a ¡®ng¡¯ sound, and shot a terrifying deqi towards the sky, and it seemed as if the moon was slowly rising. Instantly, the pressure dropped down in the surrounding area, clearly disying that Ye Xiwen had already obtained a thorough understanding of his de technique, and everyone was shocked when the true meaning of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de skill suddenly evolved in front of them. Although Wen Shiyang had also practiced a high-grade de technique, but it was obvious that currently, his de skill was nowhere near the profound de skill of Ye Xiwen. In a short time, Wen Shiyang would be able to reach the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm of his de skill and only then, he might evolve out the ¡®creative concept¡¯ of his de skill. The difference between their mastery of de skills alone was too big. ¡°What is this creative concept, I actually saw a moon pressed down by the de attack!¡± One of the disciples was stunned and said. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de technique could already bring forth the creative concept after it had been practiced to the Xiantian realm, and although the power of the move ¡®Full moon beheader¡¯ wasparable to that of an advanced power technique, but ¡°Cold moon beheader¡± was actually a Xiantian level de technique, and even if the power contained in each of its move were different, but all of them contained an inherent creative concept. (NT: ¡®Cold moon beheader¡¯ is the name of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de technique and ¡®Full moon beheader¡¯ is one of the three moves offered by this technique) Only those power techniques which contained a creative concept could be called Xiantian power techniques and if one could not bring forth the creative concept of a technique, then the Xiantian level techniques were no different from the advanced techniques. But if one could sessfully understand and evolve out the creative concept of a technique then the power of his technique would increase by leaps and bounds, and the technique would be able to disy its ideal form. All of those outstanding disciples from different sub-schools, who were watching from the crowd, knew very well about the importance of the creative concept of a technique. They knew that even if someone was to practice a Xiantian level technique to the Dacheng realm, they still might not be able toprehend the creative concept hidden inside it and would only be able to harness its strength up to the advanced stage. Being able to realize the creative concept at such a young age was extremely rare. ¡°This is really a creative concept ah, I have only seen elders disying the creative concept their techniques. My God, how can it appear in the body of an ordinary person?¡± ¡°Creative concept, it actually is a creative concept. Just by virtue of this creative concept, I¡¯m sure that Ye Xiwen will easily enter into the current top ten great disciples!¡± Countless people were shocked, including Wen Shiyang who was the closest witness of Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying disy of the creative concept of his de skill. When this creative concept was brandished, a terrifying pressure had appeared in the surrounding area, as if the sky had fallen down on the ground, and it seemed like the bright moon had appeared but it actually didn¡¯t exist. But, Wen Shiyang could vividly feel as if he was taking a walk on a moonlit road, and the bright moonlight wasing down from the heaven and had spilled on the ground, revealing even the slightest detail present in the scenery, leaving nowhere for the secrets to hide under this pure white moonlight, which also contained a prating feeling. This kind of oppressive feeling had already made Wen Shiyang anxious about this fight and his mind was also in a confused state. How is this possible! How is this possible! Wen Shiyang could not believe his eyes, because even practicing one move to the ¡®Dacheng¡¯ realm was very tough and one could say that they had grasped the essence of the technique, but to be able toprehend and disy a creative concept was equivalent topletelymanding the power of that move to its utmost extent. Because all of these Xiantian level techniques or above were once realized and created by the experts and these techniques were the so-called ¡®Imitations of Nature¡¯ itself, hence, there would definitely be a creative concept hidden inside them. In fact, these creative concepts had initially urged those experts toprehend the moves based on these creative concepts and append them to form the power techniques. And only after trulyprehending the move to its acme, Ye Xiwen¡¯s de skill had evolved to such a terrifying extent and had disyed this clear and beautiful, but overwhelming, scenery to the spectators. And Ye Xiwen¡¯s disy of the creative concept was extremely clear indicating that he had thoroughly mastered the move. It was simply unbelievable. There was a look of disbelief in the eyes of Wen Shiyang. To think that Ye Xiwen had not just reached the Dacheng realm of his de skill, but he had alsoprehended its creative concept? But he didn¡¯t have time to be shocked because if Ye Xiwen had actually evolved this level of creative concept, then he was definitely in a dangerous situation. He would never know that Ye Xiwen had the ¡®Special Space¡¯. For others, to be able toprehend the creative concepts, they had to be very talented, but in Ye Xiwen¡¯s case, so long as there were enough spirit stones in his possession, he would be able topletely understand and practice any technique. Ye Xiwen perhaps was not the most talented, nor the strongest, but he was hard-working and so long as he had enough spirit stones, his practice speed would reach a terrifying level. Because for others, to practice andprehend was like going into a huge tract of a library and read a variety of books to have an understanding and gain insights. For that, they needed to have high talent, in order to find out the exact direction they needed to search in to find the answers, and they were lucky, they might just find the right book. But this was not the case with Ye Xiwen, because he seemed to have an intelligent books resolution system that could select the correct book for him and so long as he swiped the card to pay the money, he could obtain just the book he needed, which would automatically be delivered to him, and he wouldn¡¯t have to go into the vast sea of ??books to search. Even for those geniuses, the chances ofprehending the creative concept were not high, let alone those ordinary disciples. Ye Xiwen chopped down his long de and the live picture drawn by the creative concept directly descended over Wen Shiyang¡¯s deqi and instantly crushed it down under its terrifying pressure, which seemed as if the whole world was copsing inch by inch. Their deqi collided in the midair and the friction caused a loud and sharp whistling sound which then set off a wave of sound waves. ¡°Boom!¡± Finally, Ye Xiwen¡¯s deqi instantly crushed the deqi of Wen Shiyang, and fiercely sted into his body. ¡°Bang!¡± Wen Shiyang¡¯s de couldn¡¯t block this incredible attack from Ye Xiwen and his body was sent flying horizontally, while he spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Wedesday: Chapter 83 wille as a regr release, along with sponsored Chapter 84 & 85(depending on donations and my schedule) Raised so far: $22 (73%) Queue status for Chapter 84 (73%) Queue status for Chapter 85 (0%) Chapter 83 – Fame spreads Chapter 83 ¨C Fame spreads Everyone was silent! One move, just a single move! In a sh, the spectating disciples had witnessed how the reputation of Wen Shiyang was zapped andpletely overwhelmed by a single sh of Ye Xiwen¡¯s Xiantian deqi. There was a huge difference between Xiantian and Houtian Zhen Qi, and 30% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi, in fact, had incredible density and toughness, but he was still nowhere near to be Ye Xiwen¡¯s match. Ye Xiwen had used his creative conceptbined with his deqi to disy such an incredible prowess and everyone was aware of the fact that, at that time, if Ye Xiwen had not restrained his true strength then Wen Shiyang would definitely have been split in half. Although school regtions were rtively wide, but were not wide enough to allow killing someone in front of arge crowd, at least, Ye Xiwen was not powerful enough to override school regtions. But, today, if even he had died at the hands of Ye Xiwen, although it would have caused trouble, but Shaoyang sub-school¡¯s people could only swallow the bitter pill. All of their Xiantian masters had been defeated and their own strengths were not good enough. Also, nobody woulde to show their sympathy to them because everyone knew that people of the Shaoyang sub-school were the real perpetrators this time and this result was inevitable for them. Finished, really finished! All of the outstanding disciples of Shaoyang sub-school had been defeated and if they didn¡¯t recover in time before the beginning of school assessment, then Shaoyang sub-school wouldn¡¯t be able to participate in the assessment because without its top three Xiantian masters, it would have no chance to win. This entry assessment of the Main Sect was not just an ordinary assessment, because it was directly rted to the future developments of the various sub-schools. In the Main Sect, the resources and facilities were allocated to these sub-schools based on the performance of their outstanding disciples respectively. In the eyes of the Main Sect, although it allowed entry to weak disciples as well, but it only was a ce for elite disciples from various sub-schools, so of course, it would provide more rewards and resources to more powerful disciples, and these elite disciples would also get more resources in theing year. This was the reason why the various sub-schools would not hesitate to spend their resources on these geniuses before sending them to the Main Sect. But now, all three Xiantian masters of Shaoyang sub-school had been devastated effortlessly and that too in front of everyone. It was totally inconceivable that this year¡¯s Shaoyang sub-school was definitely the worst of the crowd and this would directly affect the allocation of resources in theing year for it. Earlier when Shaoyang sub-school disciples had gone to bully the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, they would never have expected that things woulde to this and that too by the interference of just one man. The fight between these two men had directly determined the status of the two sub-schools and the results of this fight was that; the reputation of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school had skyrocketed and be like a tough iron sheet, afterpletely destroying the reputation of Shaoyang sub-school. ¡°After this, he would thoroughly be famous!¡± A disciple standing in the crowd murmured. ¡ª¡ª As if a big rock had been dropped in a calmke, in a sh, Ye Xiwen¡¯s fame had spread off like the intermittent waves. The news that Ye Xiwen had effortlessly defeated Shaoyang sub-school¡¯s strongest disciple, Wen Shiyang, had spread among more than one hundred sub-schools. Originally among thousands of disciples, Wen Shiyang was not one of the strongest and was only a minor celebrity. Even if Ye Xiwen had defeated Wen Shiyang, this was not that big of a deal for other elite disciples, but everyone present during the fight had seen how Ye Xiwen had used the creative concept of his de technique to a profound level. This had made him to suddenly be a target, and focus of attention of many people. In the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s courtyard, Ye Feng was standing. He was a Xiantian master so his resilience was very tough, plus he had consumed a lot of high-grade medicinal pills provided by Ye Xiwen so his condition had be a lot better and he could walk around easily. At this rate, he would bepletely healed before the beginning of assessment. Nearby, Ye Xiwen and Ye Ruxue, his two siblings stood quietly, and Zhang Yang, Wu Hao and Qian Wanru were also present, making this a gathering of Qingfeng Mountain younger generation¡¯s top disciples. ¡°The news about Brother Ye¡¯s fight with Wen Shiyang has spread everywhere. After knowing that Brother Ye has used creative concept of his de technique, I¡¯m afraid a lot of people won¡¯t be able to sleep now. Now they won¡¯t dare to underestimate Qingfeng Mountain sub-school.¡± Qian Wanru said in a very excited tone. Qingfeng Mountain was located in the remote areas of Great Yue State and Qingfeng Mountain sub-school was always discriminated against by the schools from bigger districts. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m afraid there are people who cannot sleep, and it seems that some are deliberately adding fuel to the fire.¡± Ye Feng said with a sigh. This news had spread so fast, so wide, that it was clearly not the result of self-propagation and natural dissemination, and it was certain that people were adding fuel to the mes. ¡°I think people just want to stir the muddy water.¡± Zhang Yang frowned and said, ¡°Someone wants us to be the target of public criticism and they may join hands to destroy us.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a possibility that you may be right. It is true that in the past, our sub-school had be friends with many sub-schools, but had also made a lot of enemies, and in a short time, we wille to know the inside and outside of this matter.¡± Ye Feng said. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they are deliberately spreading the news, or adding fuel to the mes. If we want to stand out during theing assessment, we must be prepared to face all of this.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°It¡¯s quite simple, we will knock down anyone who tries toe in our way.¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s discourse revealed self-confidence. He knew that any plots or conspiracies were nothing in face of a formidable strength and could only aplish elimination and nothing else. ¡°Ha ha ha, right, what little brother said is absolutely right, we will overthrow any plots thrown at us, no matter which method they resort to.¡± Ye Fengughed and said. ¡°If someone wants to see what we are made up of, we will let them see enough. Our Qingfeng Mountain sub-school is not worse than any other school.¡± Ye Xiwen said with a cold smile on his face. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right!¡± Ye Feng nodded then turned to Ye Ruxue and said, ¡°Now I am alright and can take care of myself so you don¡¯t have to look after me anymore. Go, use these few days left before the assessment, to finish your closed-door training and try your best to break through to the Xiantian realm. At the time of assessment, we would be happy to have one more helper. ¡° Ye Ruxue looked at Ye Feng then nodded and said: ¡°Okay!¡± She also knew that if she did not break into the Xiantian realm then she won¡¯t be of any help to them. She still had the Xiantian Pellet, gifted to her by Ye Xiwen, and breaking into the Xiantian realm was now much easier for her than others. Without a Xiantian Pellet, even in the environment of Main Sect, breaking through to the Xiantian realm would still take a lot of time and effort. Both Wu Hao and Qian Wanru were somewhat enviously looking at Ye Ruxue, but unfortunately, they did not have a Xiantian Pellet and it would take them some time before they finally enter into the Xiantian realm. Then, abruptly, a disciple of the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school hastily ran inside the courtyard and said: ¡°It¡¯s bad! A person hase outside to challenge Brother Ye.¡± ¡°As expected, they really came.¡± Ye Feng said. ¡°So fast.¡± Zhang Yang frowned and said. ¡°I¡¯ll go and take a look.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Ye Xiwen went out of the courtyard and was surprised to find a white-robed youth coldly looking at him. This tall and sturdy young man¡¯s eyes had a faint Zhen Qi which burst out and sshed in all directions. He was exuding an ice-cold chill aura which appeared to being out from the ciers. When Ye Xiwen nced at him, the youth seemed as if his whole body was frozen just like a man made up of ice. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Correction in Chapter 62: I noticed a typo, where I had written ¡®Ye Ruxue was two years older than Ye Xiwen¡¯, which was a typo and it actually should be ¡®Ye Ruxue was twenty years old and one year older than Ye Xiwen¡¯ (Thanks to ¡®awi¡¯ for bringing this to my notice :D) Friday: Since queue didn¡¯t clear for sponsored Chapter 84 in time so it wille as a regr release on friday.

Raised so far: $35 (116%) Queue is cleared for Chapter 85 (100%) Queue status for Chapter 86 (16%) Chapter 84 – The three major sub-schools Chapter 84 ¨C The three major sub-schools The disciples from many sub-schools had gathered around to watch this fight and disciples from other mountain peaks had also arrived because Ye Xiwen¡¯s fame had attracted them here and these disciples were very interested to take a look at the strongest disciple of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, who had recently got the limelight. Ye Xiwen looked at the challenger and said: ¡°Are you going to challenge me?¡± ¡°Certainly!¡± The man said. ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Bingdao sub-school¡¯s Chu Xun!¡± The man replied. (NT: Bing dao means d) Bingdao, so he was actually the disciple of Bingdao sub-school, no wonder! On the east coastline of the Great Yue State, near the sea, there were some sub-schools, but Bingdao was one of the most famous ones because the disciples there practiced Ice attribute power techniques. Ages ago, the forefathers had set up this system, as there was a world of ice and snow in 300 miles radius of the seacoast and was the best environment for practicing Ice attribute techniques. The disciples who passed out from the Bingdao sub-school were always very powerful. Sub-schools could be divided into strong or weak categories and Qingfeng Mountain sub-school was one of the rtively weak, but on the contrary, Bingdao sub-school had always been known as one of the three major sub-schools. In the crowd of sub-schools, Bingdao sub-school¡¯s strength was ranked among the best. ¡°Chu Xun, he is Bingdao¡¯s Chu Xun, no wonder his strength seems so formidable!¡± A disciple eximed. ¡°So he is, no wonder, no wonder, excluding those three invincible masters, Chu Xun can be considered as one of the strongest!¡± ¡°You are Chu Xun?¡± Ye Xiwen said. After staying here for more than a day, it was not that Ye Xiwen did not know anything and he had certainly been informed about the outstanding disciples of various strong sub-schools. This term¡¯s batch of sub-school disciples was the strongest batch known for centuries, as if strong masters had literally rained on the Main Sect. And the top three yers among them were definitely the most outstanding disciples of the three sub-schools. In the past, the disciples of these three major sub-schools were the strongest and therefore, they had obtained the most resourcespared to other sub-schools and cultivated stronger disciples for the next term. With the repetition of this cycle, over time, these three sub-schools had gradually be the most formidable sub-schools with their strengths and resources far above other sub-schools. It could be said that like always, all of the disciples of this session of the three major sub-schools were already in the Xiantian realm and not only that, not a single Houtian realm disciples would be attending the assessment from these sub-schools. When Ye Xiwen heard this news, he could not help but held his breath in astonishment. All were Xiantian masters, what kind of ridiculous situation was this? It was said that these major sub-schools would put great and costly efforts to cultivate strong Xiantian disciples. And if the three major sub-schools would send more and more Xiantian disciples then the other sub-schools had to spend as well on their outstanding disciples, Although they never expected to be better than the other three major sub-schools, but at least, their own disciples wouldn¡¯t be easily bullied by the disciples of the three sub-schools. But, because the Qingfeng Mountain Yi Yuan School was situated far away in the remote regions of Great Yue State, they obtained the news veryte. No one knew how strong the three invincible masters actually were, because no one had forced them to use the full strength. But, the hierarchy of the disciples was well known to everyone, in which, experts like Chu Xun held higher positionpared to Wen Shiyang and others. In fact, Chu Xun was a lot stronger than Wen Shiyang. ¡°I hear that you im to be the strongest sub-school disciple so I have personallye to teach you a lesson, so that you know the immensity of heaven and earth.¡± Chu Xun coldly said. Certainly, it was not Ye Xiwen who had imed to be the strongest disciple, but someone with ulterior motives and they naturally didn¡¯t have good intentions for Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and its disciples. ¡°Whether I am the strongest disciple or not is none of your business and you actually came to lecture me for this, don¡¯t you have anything better to do?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. Anyways, this Chu Xun was really too arrogant. Just because he heard Ye Xiwen¡¯s name as the strongest disciple, he actually came to teach him a lesson? Does he really think that Ye Xiwen would just stand there and take his punches! ¡°You are courting death!¡± Chu Xun had be furious. Who was he? He was a top disciple of Bingdao sub-school, one of three major sub-schools but Ye Xiwen had dared to talk disrespectfully with him. ¡°Today I will cripple you and turn you into a pile of bones!¡± ¡°Depends on you!¡± Ye Xiwen repeatedly sneered. Chu Xun¡¯s figure suddenly shed and his Zhen Qi suddenly released out of his body. The ambient temperature of the surroundings steeply plunged, as if sucked into the world of ice and snow. Huge and ice-cold Zhen Qi aura had instantly turned the entire surrounding pure white and the ferocious power of Chu Xun, which was far above Wen Shiyang, had properly disyed itself in front of everyone with his 40% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi surging majestically high into the sky. After breaking through to the Xiantian first stage, ordinary masters possessed 10% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi and only after transforming 20% of their Xiantian Zhen Qi, they could reach the peak of Xiantian first stage. Simrly, after reaching the Xiantian second stage, those with 30% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi were considered ordinary third stage masters and only after transforming 40% Xiantian Zhen Qi, they could reach the peak of Xiantian second stage. Chu Xun was at the peak of Xiantian second stage andpared to an average expert, he was extremely powerful! Chu Xun shot his palm with a snow white Zhen Qi wrapped on his arms, resembling a pure white crystal which was unusually beautiful, but incredibly dangerous. His palm viciously shot and directly froze the surrounding air while producing a crackling sound. When Ye Xiwen saw Chu Xun¡¯s palm approaching towards him, in an instant, Ye Xiwen moved his hands and shot him palms, covered in a terrifying Zhen Qi, which directly moved forward towards the iing attack. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Their fight immediately approached the acme, and in an instant, a dozen blows had been exchanged between the tow. Chu Xun was amazed as he never thought that Ye Xiwen would be able to block his moves so easily. As one of the top disciples in Bingdao sub-school, although he was not the strongest, but he was still ranked among the top five, but even so, he actually couldn¡¯t press down Ye Xiwen even after exchanging so many blows. He originally thought of Ye Xiwen as a boy who was boasting around after a little sess, iming to be the strongest disciple, but he never imagined that this boastful boy would actually be so strong. Aftering to the Main Sect, many disciples bragged about themselves, but in Chu Xun¡¯s view, they were nothing but clowns. Even his big brother had never said that he was the strongest disciple then how could this man act recklessly and im himself as the strongest disciple. He was in a bad mood and hade to vent his anger on Ye Xiwen but he never thought that fighting Ye Xiwen would be like kicking an Iron Wall. ¡°Could it be that you are only at this level?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Raised so far: $300 (1000%) Queue is cleared for Sponsored Chapters 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91,92, 93 & 94 Thanks to Zachary Paul (US), Shawna Av (US), Anonymous (Doha) and sai pakpati (UK) for sponsoring Chapter 85 Thanks to Ahmarijah Andrews (US) and Souvanh Chantha (US) for sponsoring Chapter 86 Thanks again to Souvanh Chantha (US) for sponsoring Chapters 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 & 92 Thanks to geoffroy demontier (France) for sponsoring Chapter 93 Thanks to Thomas Metzger (US) and Kory Sagawa (US)for sponsoring Chapter 94 Chapter 85 – The difference of ten Chapter 85 ¨C The difference of ten ¡°Could it be that you are only at this level?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. Ye Xiwen shot his palms with a ¡®shabu¡¯ thunder-like rumbling sound and this set of palm method in his hands could be considered superb. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm shot and Chu Xun raised his hand to block. Suddenly with a loud noise, a great force transmitted into the arms of Chu Xun which numbed from the shock. Chu Xun¡¯s ice-cold Zhen Qi instantly covered all over his arms suddenly covering with a burst of coldness and expelled the numbing feeling form his arms. He was extremely shocked in his heart. How could this man¡¯s strength reach such dreadful proportions? Whether it was Huo Cheng or Wen Shiyang, the strengths of both of them were far worse than the strength of Ye Xiwen, so they never had a chance against Ye Xiwen, also when they couldn¡¯t even force him to use his full force. In Ye Xiwen¡¯s fight with those two, he had easily defeated them in not more than a single strike that had directly broken all the bones in their bodies causing them to lose consciousness immediately. The fight had finished so fast that the spectators did not get enough time to feel the real terrifying strength of Ye Xiwen. Anyway, no matter how much force he had used, they would have fainted instantly. But Chu Xun was different, and even if Ye Xiwen¡¯sbat strength was equivalent to the ordinary masters of Xiantian third stage, but Chu Xun¡¯s strength was also close to the Xiantian third stage, though a bit less, and that was the reason why he had not directly fainted in one move from Ye Xiwen. But also because of this, everyone had got a chance to witness Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying strength of 19 Dragons that had totally overwhelmed Chu Xun¡¯s strength of 9 Dragons. Chu Xun was facing a master who possessed the strength more than twice his own strength. Transformed 10% Xiantian Zhen Qi granted the strength of one Dragon, 20% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi granted the strength of 2 Dragons, but after transforming 30% Xiantian Zhen Qi, one could reach the strength of 5 Dragons. After transforming 40% Xiantian Zhen Qi and reaching the peak of Xiantian second stage, Chu Xun¡¯s strength had reached the peak strength of 9 Dragons. Once he would break through to the Xiantian third stage after transforming 50% Xiantian Zhen Qi, his strength would further reach the strength of 10 Dragons, which was still lower than Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength. After transforming 60% Xiantian Zhen Qi and reaching the peak of Xiantian third stage, one could gain the strength ranging from the strength of 20 Dragons to 49 Dragons. Since Ye Xiwen was already at the peak of 50% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi and had reached the strength of 19 Dragons, which was more than twice Chu Xun¡¯s current strength, each of his blows contained a terrifying strength and was instantly numbing the arms of Chu Xun. Although, like always, Ye Xiwen had not beaten Chu Xun in one shot, but he had already put Chu Xun in a tough situation where he was secretly crying incessantly in his heart. He was constantly shouting in his heart that what kind of monster was Ye Xiwen? Just from taking a look at him, no one could make a guess that a master of Xiantian first stage could actually possess such a monstrous strength. Chu Xun noticed that Ye Xiwen was only using his palm technique, but with brute force contained in each shot, to actually force him into spending all his Zhen Qi just for defense. Such monstrous strength, even if it was inferior to the three invincible masters, but it was still equivalent to one of the top under yers. How could such a figure appear in a small sub-school like Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, located in the remote area of Great Yue State? But Chu Xun didn¡¯t get enough time to think about all that because of the relentless attacks of Ye Xiwen. It was clear that Ye Xiwen had thoroughly grabbed the upper hand in this battle. Pass like thunder and move like the wind! Lightning and thunder! Ghostly thunder Axe! Leveling storm four strokes! These four moves of Rushing thunder hand technique had been used by Ye Xiwen, as if they had been used by the God himself, with each of these moves containing tremendous strength,ing one after the other, almost with no pause, with perfection, producing thunder-like rumbling sound in between the moves, as if they contained the power of heavenly thunder. Chu Xun had been totally pressed down under Ye Xiwen¡¯s nonstop strikes and was totally depressed. How could he not know about Rushing thunder hand? This was a lower-level power technique taught in almost all sub-schools and throughout the Great Yue State, there were countless people who knew this technique, but no one had ever disyed this kind of might while using this technique. It was as if Ye Xiwen had fully assimted the true essence of this technique and had disyed its ideal form in front of everyone. Even those elders could not bepared to Ye Xiwen when it came to mastery over power techniques. But, for Chu Xun, the most depressing thing was that Ye Xiwen had used a lower-level power technique and disyed such a terrifying might that he had actually beenpletely pressed down and could only fight a defensive battle. After this, he would not be able to lift his head out of shame. When Chu Xun was a child, he had practiced a lower-level power technique for some time, but soon, when his cultivation level had progressed, he had soon abandoned it for practicing an intermediate power technique and now that he had already practiced advanced power techniques and Xiantian power techniques, he would never even think of using a lower-level power technique in battles. But right now, he was being defeated by a lower-level power technique? He never thought that lower-level techniques could actually gain such terrifying might, especially when wielded by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The metal shing sound spread each time Ye Xiwen and Chu Xun collided and exchanged moves. A terrifying battle between the two powerful Xiantian masters was sending st waves everywhere in the surroundings. ¡°This is so incredible. I did not think that Ye Xiwen would actually be able to fight off Chu Xun without losing for such a long time!¡± ¡°Lose? It is obvious that Chu Xun has beenpletely pushed down by Ye Xiwen and his defeat is inevitable!¡± A discipleughed loudly and said. ¡°Moreover, Ye Xiwen has not used his strongest technique yet. That day, I saw the true strength of his de technique when Wen Shiyang had lost in a single de attack but right now, Ye Xiwen has not drawn his de otherwise Chu Xun would not be able to withstand for so long. Wait until Ye Xiwen draws his de, because then, Chu Xun would not be able to y defensive like this!¡± ¡°I never thought that this Ye Xiwen would actually be so powerful and it seems that except for those three invincible experts, Ye Xiwen is definitely one of the top star ranked disciples!¡± Chu Xun¡¯s hands had gradually numbed with no way to relieve this numbness even after using his Zhen Qi. He was still unable to ept this turn of events in his heart. How could this be, Ye Xiwen had not even drawn his de and was already so powerful? Was Ye Xiwen going to defeat him without even using his de? How is this possible! There was a difference of strength of 10 Dragons between the strengths of Chu Xun and Ye Xiwen. Although Chu Xun was using a superior power technique than Rushing thunder hand, but by virtue of the degree of mastery over Rushing thunder hand and the terrifying strength of 19 Dragons, Ye Xiwen hadpletely pressed him down. But, Chu Xun was still unwilling to ept this result where he might get defeated by a Xiantian first stage master like Ye Xiwen. Finally, Chu Xun¡¯s hands hadpletely numbed and he couldn¡¯t block the relentless attacks of Ye Xiwen and was sent flying out while screaming. ¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 86 – You all can come together Chapter 86 ¨C You all cane together Everyone was shocked watching this scene, because no one was able to see the depth of Ye Xiwen¡¯s true strength. The stronger his enemy was, the stronger he would be ordingly. Earlier, his battle with Huo Cheng and now with Chu Xun, each time, his strength would grow which was very shocking for everyone. It was as if his strength was truly unfathomable! Ye Xiwen looked coldly at Chu Xun. Although this guy was conceited and very arrogant, but there was a valid reason behind his arrogance as he was at the peak of Xiantian second stage and his strength was indeed sufficient enough to be ranked among the top row of the disciples. Ye Xiwen almost could not waste his cultivation because just when he had shot his palm towards Chu Xun, his intention had been detected by Chu Xun who then blocked Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm and slightly deflected it. ¡°Ye Xiwen, ept our challenge!¡± Ye Xiwen was still thinking about this matter when suddenly he heard three loud voices challenging him. Ye Xiwen looked up and actually saw that three simr wretched-looking fat people had jumped out of the crowd. ¡°Shameless! The three of you are taking advantage of him who has just finished fighting a battle!¡± ¡°These three are the infamous Zongshi three brothers from Qingcheng sub-school!¡± ¡°So they are the Zongshi three brothers, ah, no wonder they are too outrageous!¡± Aftering to the Main Sect, it didn¡¯t take long for the Zongshi three brothers to gain quite a reputation, and of course, this reputation was not a good one. These three brothers were really shameless! Ye Xiwen also knew about the Zongshi three brothers and could only sigh. ¡°So, do you dare to ept our challenge?¡± The eldest of the three Zongshi brothers challenged Ye Xiwen in a provocative manner. In spite of facing criticism from the crowd, three Zongshi brothers were not willing to give up. Now that Ye Xiwen had already defeated Chu Xun, they were aiming at defeating the exhausted Ye Xiwen and gain instant fame, as to how shameless this act was, they didn¡¯t care, on the contrary they were verycent from this. They only considered it as their praise. ¡°Yes, if you don¡¯t want to ept our challenge then simply throw in the towel and we will walk away.¡± The second Zong brother said in a provocative tone. ¡°Well, brother I think he is got no guts.¡± The youngest Zong brother pretended to be cool and said. ¡°Shameless!¡± Behind Ye Xiwen, Ye Ruxue frowned and said. She was very mad at them as this act was no different from taking advantage of someone else. Initially, they did not dare to stand up on their own against Ye Xiwen and now that he was exhausted after a battle, they were trying to provoke him by implying that he was a coward. In her view, it was really shameless. Other disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school were also ring and giving angry looks to the three brothers because this was simply too outrageous! While other disciples of different sub-schools were also looking at the three brothers with a look of disdain in their eyes and were cursing them for this shameless act. All eyes were fixated on Ye Xiwen, waiting how he would answer. The stern looking Ye Xiwen suddenly chuckled and said: ¡°You can certainly challenge me and I am always ready to take on people like you any day.¡± (NT: Author has used ¡®¨¡ m¨¡o ¨¡ g¨¯u¡¯ which means ¡®any Tom, Dick or Harry) ¡°What, you dare look down on us three brothers?¡± The second brother said in an angry voice. ¡°If you want to challenge me, you will have to bet 100 spirit stones and if lost, no money returns!¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. When the three Zongshi brothers heard this, they froze for a moment because they never expected that Ye Xiwen would actually put forward such a condition. One must know that 100 spirit stones was a big amount for an ordinary Xiantian master. But Zong boss nodded and said: ¡°All right!¡± In his view, as long as they beat Ye Xiwen, they would not lose anything. He didn¡¯t want to dy the fight even for one minute, because Ye Xiwen might recover from his exhaustion which would naturally be very unfavorable to them. The three Zongshi brothers immediately agreed to the terms of battle. These three brothers really were so shameless, but this time, they had probably miscalcted by thinking that they could easily bully Ye Xiwen. ¡°All three of you cane together.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°What did you just say?¡± The Zong boss said but since they did not have any sense of shame, they would of course take this chance to work together and defeat Ye Xiwen. ¡°Boom!¡± The three Zongshi brothers, with their huge statures and inconsistent speeds instantly, rushed towards Ye Xiwen. The overall strength of the three Zongshi brothers was quite high and they actually were the masters of Xiantian second stage and their boss had transformed 40% Xiantian Zhen Qi and was already at the peak of Xiantian second stage, although he was not as strong as Chu Xun, but the difference between them was not very wide. All three of them together smacked their fists with theirbined strength actually somewhat stronger than that of Chu Xun. Many spectating disciples, without uttering a single word, were anxiously watching the fight. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s arm instantly blurred and blocked their joint attack. Soon, they felt as if they had collided with an iron wall. They had originally expected that Ye Xiwen had already exhausted his Zhen Qi, because if they had teamed up to fight against Chu Xun, they would definitely have exhausted themselves. But from the appearance of Ye Xiwen, neither hisplexion was red due to fatigue, nor did he look exhausted even after fighting a fierce battle with Chu Xun. This had made them to secretlyin in their hearts at their decision to fight Ye Xiwen. But Ye Xiwen did not give them any chance of respite. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen used his one hand to catch a punch from the youngest brother followed by using another hand, he instantly punched him. ¡°Kara!¡± With a crisp sound of breaking bones, the youngest Zong brother¡¯s hand was instantly broken by Ye Xiwen¡¯s punch. Ye Xiwen then lifted one foot and shot a lightning fast kick covered with a terrifying Zhen Qi and shoved directly into the belly of the youngest brother. He screamed again and again and his stout body was instantly sent flying out and severely fell on the ground and he fainted. ¡°Third brother!¡± The second Zong brother roared and rushed towards Ye Xiwen, but then he also walked on his brother¡¯s footsteps. Ye Xiwen severely sted his palm on his chest using the move ¡®Leveling storm four strokes¡¯ which fractured his ribs and he spout a mouthful of blood and fell upside down on the ground. When their boss saw that the two brothers had been sted away by Ye Xiwen, he quickly shouted: ¡°I will ...¡± But he couldn¡¯t finish the sentence, as in a sh, Ye Xiwen¡¯s overwhelming punch sted. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s punch sted away the Zong boss and his body severely hit on the side of a tree and he fell unconscious. Chapter 87 – Ye Xiwen, come out Chapter 87 ¨C Ye Xiwen,e out Bingdao sub-school¡¯s courtyard was located among the courtyards of the three major sub-cases. With an ice-cold look on his face, Chu Xun was standing outside, asionally looking towards the room inside the courtyard. Beside him stood a blue-robed youth with a dignified appearance and smile on his face. He looked at Chu Xun and said: ¡°I heard that you were defeated by a country bumpkin.¡± Chu Xun shot a cold nce at that him. This blue-robe youth was called Gong Yao and like Chu Xun, he was also one of top disciples of Bingdao sub-school, even strongerpared to him. ¡°Gee, this news has spread everywhere and has turned us into aughing stock and now people areughing at our Bingdao sub-school. Our reputation has been thoroughly discredited. Do you want to sell us?¡± Gong Yaoughed and said. ¡°This is not something you should joke about.¡± Chu Xun said in a cold voice, ¡°I will do something about it myself.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t do it yourself.¡± Gong Yao smiled and said, ¡°Because recently, I¡¯ve heard that in thest three days, thirty people challenged him and no one could defeat him.¡± After Ye Xiwen had defeated Chu Xun and the three Zongshi brothers, soon, a lot of disciples had been attracted toe and challenge Ye Xiwen hoping to beat him and earning fame in the process. ¡°For now, do not look for any trouble with Ye Xiwen.¡± At this time, the door opened and came out a man with an appearance of more than twenty years old and an ice-cold facial expression, even more than Chu Xun¡¯s usual cold look. He was wearing dark blue clothes, tall stature, and possessed an overbearing aura. ¡°Why?¡± Chu Xun asked without trying to be disrespectful in front of that man, because he was strongest of this year¡¯s disciples from Bingdao sub-school, Shangguan Xuanyi, with an unfathomable cultivation and was ranked among the top three yers from all the sub-schools. ¡°Assessment examination will be held in two days, so do notplicate the situation.¡± Shangguan Xuanyi said in an indifferent voice, ¡°Everyone¡¯s watching our actions, moreover, you may not be his match. Later, we will take our time and deal with him.¡± ¡°Make a full preparation and perform outstandingly in the assessment, understood!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- In just three days of harvest, Ye Xiwen¡¯s inventory now had three thousand spirit stones. All of a sudden, gaining this many spirit stones was simply unimaginable even for the masters of Xiantian fourth or fifth stage. Because Ye Xiwen had defeated Chu Xun and Zongshi three brothers, he had be part of many rumors and his fame had beparable to that of the well-known figures. Chu Xun was undoubtedly one of strongest top disciples of Bingdao major sub-school and although the three Zongshi brothers were very shameless, but a lot of people could not help but admit that they were very powerful, especially when the three of them fought together, their total strength would be more than that ofmon top disciples. Among the disciples of these sub-schools, there were some so-called seed disciples. These seed disciples were the strongest in every respect and existed in each social stratum of disciples. There were seed disciples present among the outer disciples, inner disciples and core disciples as well. Seed disciples were the most formidable group of people and the sub-schools would cultivate these seed disciples. Chu Xun and Zongshi three brothers were also the seed disciples. Ye Xiwen had previously defeated Wen Shiyang but he was only a quasi-seed disciple, so defeating him was nothingpared to defeating Chun Xun and Zongshi brothers. There were countless famous disciples who wanted to challenge Ye Xiwen, but how could Ye Xiwen just ept so many challenges, so Ye Xiwen had set some rules. If they wanted to challenge him, they must hand over 100 spirit stones otherwise they won¡¯t get a chance to fight him. Also, each day, he would ept challenges from not more than ten people. This would directly eliminate those who just wanted to be famous but had no strength or money to challenge, so in just three days, Ye Xiwen¡¯s total stock of spirit stones had suddenly gone up to more than three thousand spirit stones. One could say that Ye Xiwen had suddenly be rich because even for a seed disciple like Chu Xun and other seeds disciples, 100 sprit stones were close to their worth. Not to mention, for the ordinary disciples, especially those who had just entered into the Xiantian realm, having 10 spirit stones was not bad. Among the challengers during this period, there were some seeds disciples as well, some of whom were even more powerful than Chu Xun and it was very tough for Ye Xiwen to defeat them. But Ye Xiwen had a great harvest because these seeds disciples were very powerful, with each having his own trump skill and it was very difficult to deal with each of them, which was again a major harvest for Ye Xiwen¡¯s battle experience. And after fighting with these strong people, Ye Xiwen¡¯s various martial arts had been greatly tempered and he had be even more skilled at using them in fights. Now, everyone was aware of the fact that in the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, there was such an outstanding figure. Ye Xiwen naturally had gained a rank among the top seed disciples and almost everyone among the sub-school disciples had recognized his terrifying monstrous strength, even if they hated it, they had to admit it! Ye Xiwen had been able to feel a huge power surging in his body and he felt as if he was standing on the threshold of a breakthrough which could happen at any time and then he would finally break through to next stage and be a Xiantian second stage master. Once he entered into the Xiantian second stage, his strength would immediately have a rapid progress and by that time, he would be able to contend with the elite masters, who were at the peak of Xiantian third stage and possessed 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi. Now Ye Xiwen had enough spirit stones to support him through his breakthrough without any problem. So long as there were enough spirit stones, having a breakthrough would never be difficult for him. After entering into the Main Sect, thepetition pressure had be greater. ¡°Boom!¡± A majestic aura suddenly burst out in the courtyard of the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and quickly spread in the surrounding area. It was a breakthrough into the Xiantian realm! There was look of surprise on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, because this time, the only person in the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school who could have a breakthrough into the Xiantian realm was his sister, Ye Ruxue. While Ye Xiwen was ying around outside with the challengers, Ye Ruxue had decided not toe out until her closed-door training would finish and she would break into the Xiantian realm. Ye Xiwen was about to rush inside the courtyard and congratte Ye Ruxue when suddenly, a hoarse roar resounded throughout the sky: ¡°Ye Xiwen,e out!¡± ¡ª¡ª Chapter 88 – Shaoyang elder Chapter 88 ¨C Shaoyang elder Ye Xiwen was about to rush inside the courtyard and congratte Ye Ruxue when suddenly, a hoarse roar resounded throughout the sky: ¡°Ye Xiwen,e out!¡± The roar was instantly followed by a terrifying coercive aura which pressed down toward the courtyard. This pressure was so terrifying and sudden that it took Ye Xiwen by surprise and overwhelmed him. ¡°Who!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted along with his Xiantian Zhen Qi rolling out to confront that coercive aura. The collision between both of their Zhen Qi directly produced a wind storm. But it was obvious that Ye Xiwen¡¯s Xiantian Zhen Qi was not a match for the incredible Zhen Qi released by the other party which came down all the way andpletely crushed Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Qi. Xiantian Zhen Yuan! An astonished look shed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes because this visitor was definitely not one of the disciples who hade to challenge him, as only the masters of Xiantian sixth stage or above could possess Xiantian Zhen Yuan. When a Xiantian master would reach the peak of the Xiantian fifth stage, he would have transformed 100% of his Houtian Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi, at that time, if he would want to break into the Xiantian sixth stage, then it would ur only after a metamorphosis when the Xiantian Zhen Qi would start transforming into Xiantian Zhen Yuan, which was considered the second metamorphosis of life. Once the transformation was sessful, the life expectancy from the original two hundred years would also increase to more than five hundred years. Xiantian sixth stage masters were a lot more powerfulpared to the masters of Xiantian fifth stage, and only one in a dozen was able to have a qualitative change in their Zhen Qi, which was necessary to step into the Xiantian sixth stage. Yi Yuan School Main Sect also ssified this as a standard of division, where masters of Xiantian sixth stage or above could be core disciples and those below sixth stage could only be inner disciples. Although the difference was of only a single stage, but there was a difference of heaven and earth between the treatments of masters on these stages. Most of the elders were masters of Xiantian sixth stage who were originally the core disciples with many of them, reaching the deadline age of nearly 500 years, trying to break through to the ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ realm. Since these core disciples had been unable to reach ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ realm, so they had decided to be elders for the sub-schools. But even so, all these elders were scary existences and were far stronger than ordinary disciples. ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Xiwen came out of the courtyard and was surprised to find an old man, d in ck clothes, ring angrily at him. Right at that time, Zhang Yang, Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue, who had just broken through to the Xiantian realm, had alle out as well. ¡°Are you Ye Xiwen?¡± The old man asked in a cold voice with an angry look on his face. ¡°I am!¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°You little beast, you dared to injure the seed disciples of our Shaoyang sub-school!¡± The ck clothed old man said in a cold voice. ¡°Who are you calling little beast?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Damn you, you little bastard...¡± That ck clothed old man blurted out with his face flushed red with anger. ¡°Ha ha ha!¡± The disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school gave out an unbridledughter. They had quickly understood that this ck clothed old man was an elder of Shaoyang sub-school. Even if he was an elder but he belonged to the side of their sworn enemy, which was not going to change at this point of time as the enmity between the two sides had extended for so many years. The elder was certainly furious because Ye Xiwen had severely injured Huo Cheng and there was no way for them to participate in the assessment. That was the reason why he hade to punish Ye Xiwen. ¡°You little beast, I will kill you.¡± The ck clothed old man angrily tossed his sleeves and suddenly the air around himpletely distorted. A big hand instantly congealed in the air made up of the Xiantian Zhen Yuan and for a master of Xiantian sixth stage, this method of directly using the Xiantian Zhen Yuan was very useful. ¡°ng!¡± Ye Xiwen took out the long de from the scabbard on his back and released a bright delight which instantly filled the sky. At the moment, the appearance of Ye Xiwen was shining like a god of war, with a solemn look on his face and his ck hair swinging violently in the wind. The Swordlightpletely transformed into a sharp de made up of condensed Xiantian Zhen Qi which immediately rushed towards that big hand and chopped down. ¡°Zizi Zizi!¡± The tip of the de chopped down on the big hand, issuing a loud Zizi Zizi sound, followed by evolving the live picture of the creative concept of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯. As the creative concept of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ evolved out, it temporarily blocked the big hand by continuously regrouping the Xiantian Zhen Qi and chopping down again and again on the big hand. ¡°Creative concept, how is this possible, he has actually evolved out a creative concept!¡± The ck clothed old man looked unbelievably at Ye Xiwen because he could not believe that Ye Xiwen had already evolved out a creative concept, which was difficult to obtain, even for the inner disciples of the Main Sect. But even so, if he was not such an evildoer then how could he have easily beaten the geniuses of his sub-school. Having thought of this, his eyes shed with a killing intent. Such an evildoer genius, it was necessary to strangle him before he became hostile towards his sub-school, and if allowed to grow up, it would certainly not be a good thing for Shaoyang sub-school. Even if this time, he might put his Shaoyang sub-school in the danger of getting punished, he must strangle the danger in the cradle. In the sky, a descending moon intensely collided with the big hand which caused terrifying air explosions sendingyer byyer ripples of air-waves in all directions. The pressure was increasing on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body while his de had fiercely collided with the big hand but even after disying the full essence of the creative concept of his de technique, he had still been unable to block the iing attack. Ye Xiwen had been forced down by the virtue of superior strength of the old man. Ye Xiwen was soon pressed down and his bones started to make crackling sound. His skeleton was facing an intense friction, although his body was insanely tough, just as strong as the steel, but when put under such a kind of terrifying coercion, it seemed as if his body would explode any time. ¡°Old man, what are you doing!¡± Ye Xiwen gritted his teeth and shouted in a voice filled with anger. This old guy was definitely not holding back and it seemed as if he was going to kill Ye Xiwen right there right then. That ck clothed simply ignored Ye Xiwen and his big hand pressed down while fully destroying the live picture of creative concept. ¡°Old man, in the future, I will certainly return the favor for today.¡± Ye Xiwen gritted his teeth and said with a lot of sweat crazily dripping down his face. Ten years, in just ten years, he would be able to easily crush this old guy, but right now, his strength was not enough! This was the first time that Ye Xiwen had thoroughly felt so helpless, craving for strength. He just needed enough strength so that a day like this would nevere again where he would feel so helpless. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 89 – Mighty Lin Zhantian Chapter 89 ¨C Mighty Lin Zhantian ¡°Old man, in the future, I will certainly return the favor for today!¡± Ye Xiwen gritted his teeth and said with a lot of sweat crazily dipping down his face. ¡°You do not have a future!¡± The old man shouted with a hideous look on his face. ¡°Stop!¡± A loud shout came, followed by a big hand that came straight down from the sky and caught that old man¡¯s big hand and directly exploded it. ¡°What were you trying to do?¡± A thundering voice resounded in the sky and a figure came down flying. This was none other than Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s former ancestor, Lin Zhantian. The ck clothed old man looked coldly at Lin Zhantian. ¡°This little beast has severely injured the seed disciples of our Shaoyang sub-school and there¡¯s no way for our school to participate in the assessment, this hatred is totally irreconcble.¡± That old man said and gritted his teeth. ¡°Bullshit!¡± Ye Xiwen gasped for breath then said, ¡°It was them who first came to bully the disciples of our sub-school and were forcefully trying to upy our courtyard. They even injured my brother and were going to cripple him. They went too far and I was just returning the favor, but I was merciful and did not waste their martial arts. ¡° ¡°Little bastard, you ...¡± The ck clothed old man cursed but it was not that he did not know the ins and outs of whole matter. He was just trying to take advantage of the fact that Lin Zhantian had note back yet and this was the best opportunity to take revenge on Ye Xiwen, and settle things once and for all. But things didn¡¯t go as he had nned after the intervention of Lin Zhantian. ¡°Get out of here!¡± Lin Zhantian thundered loudly and waved his big sleeves. Almost instantly, a terrifying force arrived in front of the ck clothed old man. ¡°Poof!¡± The ck clothed old man spurted out a mouthful of blood and his skinny body was sent flying upside down. Only one hit had seriously injured him and he was stunned, staring at the Lin Zhantian because he never thought that Lin Zhantian could actually be so strong. ¡°Zhen dao ...¡± ck clothed old man muttered while ring at Lin Zhantian with his fierce eyes, he said: ¡°Lin Zhantian, you¡¯ll regret it.¡± ¡°Get lost! No one dares to touch my disciples.¡± Lin Zhantian said in a strong voice. He had clearly demonstrated the strength of the Zhen dao. The disciples of the Zhen dao realm were called ¡®true disciples¡¯. Compared to them, the core disciples could only be considered mid-level personnel, but true disciples were considered at the top. In a major sect like Yi Yuan School Main Sect, only few hundred true disciples were present but the added count of core disciples and inner disciples together was almost one hundred thousand. The gap between the positions of these two parties could be seen just from the numbers. The ck clothed old man looked bitterly at Lin Zhantian, no doubt, if they were not in the premises of the Main Sect, he would have been directly beheaded by Lin Zhantian. Thepetition among the sub-schools was allowed as long as there were no direct fights between the factions. From the perspective of the Main Sect, as long as the whole martial artsmunity was flourishing inside the school,petition was permitted. The ck clothed old man looked towards the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and bitterly left. ¡°Let¡¯s go inside.¡± Lin Zhantian said. After the return of Lin Zhantian, it seemed as if the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school had suddenly gained back its backbone and the disciples followed him inside happy expressions on their faces. After hearing about all the events that had urred during his absence, Lin Zhantian smiled and looked at Ye Xiwen then said: ¡°Good, well done, you are the power and prestige of our Qingfeng Mountain sub-school.¡± Lin Zhantian was also surprised in his heart because this was quite unexpected, although he had always been very optimistic about Ye Xiwen, but did not expect that he would actually be able to be so strong that not even the seed disciples would be his match. Those seed disciples were considered elite among the elites and were generally very powerful, but had been surprisingly defeated by Ye Xiwen. Lin Zhantian was overjoyed with these turn of events. ¡°In my absence, all of you have done very well.¡± Lin Zhantian said. ¡°Thanks ancestor for your praise!¡± Everyone said in unison. ¡°Now, I will tell you about the reason behind the sudden departure of all the elders, although, this is a major affair, but I think it is necessary for all of you to know about it.¡± Lin Zhantian said. The looks of all the disciples suddenly became serious because they knew that a matter which was major for Lin Zhantian could never be trivial. ¡°This thing is slightly strange. For the triennial assessment examination, all of the sub-schools send their respective elite disciples, but this time, actually disciples of more than thirty sub-schools were attacked, out of which, disciples from six sub-schools werepletely annihted and not even their skeletons could be found.¡± Lin Zhantian said with a solemn look on his face. Everyone present there held their breaths, though these sub-schools were just Yi Yuan School¡¯s sub-schools and rtive to the Main Sect, their strength was not much, butpared to other sects, it was still veryrge. But these were the elite disciples of various sub-schools, not to mention, they were also being apanied by a few elders, and these elders were super experts of Xiantian fifth stage or more. How could they dare to touch such a team? But to be able topletely annihte such a team of experts, this was not possible for ordinary forces! ¡°In the past, there have been cases when disciples were attacked, but they were all isted phenomenon or vendetta, but this time, it is not unusual that out of a total of over one hundred sub-schools, more than thirty sub-schools have been attacked.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°This thing has caused the Sect to have a high degree of attention to this matter because there may berge hostile forces after our disciples. The sect has sent many experts to investigate about this matter.¡± ¡°The reason of sharing this thing with you is because, soon, you will enter the Main Sect, after that, you need to be very careful.¡± Lin Zhantian said. Participating in the assessment was especially important for sub-schools because it would get easier for their disciples to be directly promoted to be the inner disciples or core disciples in the Main Sect. Naturally, those who performed outstandingly in the assessment would get more popr and would be able to get more resources for their respective sub-schools. This was the reason why the elder of Shaoyang sub-school was so frantic. ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone said in unison. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Sunday: I announce the Grand release of (3 to 5) Sponsored chapters on Sunday. I decided to organize this Grand release topensate for the lost Sponsored chapters this week. Let¡¯s see if i can reach my target of releasing up to chapter 93 by Sunday!) Monday: Any Sponsored chapters i couldn¡¯t release on Sunday wille on Monday along with ¡®Sunday¡¯s Regr chapter 95¡¯ and ¡®Monday¡¯s Regr chapter 96¡¯ Raised so far: $150 (500%) Queue is cleared for Sponsored Chapters 90, 91,92, 93 & 94 Thanks again to Souvanh Chantha (US) for sponsoring Chapters 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 & 92 Thanks to geoffroy demontier (France) for sponsoring Chapter 93 Thanks to Thomas Metzger (US) and Kory Sagawa (US)for sponsoring Chapter 94 Chapter 90 – Assessment begins Chapter 90 ¨C Assessment begins Lin Zhantian, undoubtedly had cast a shadow of an unknown enemy in the hearts of the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, but they were not too worried about it, after all, they were too keen to enter into the Main Sect. Everyone¡¯s thoughts were fully focused on the assessment examination which was going to take ce a few dayster, although it was not supposed to be difficult and basically everyone could pass, but this assessment was directly rted to their future treatments and positions in the Sect. Those who performed outstandingly could earn a lot of rewards. Ye Xiwen was only a little worried in his heart about the future, after all, there were some powerful hostile forces lurking out there, so all of them needed to be careful in future. But he didn¡¯t think about this matter for too long because it was a thing in the future, and right now, the most important matter was to perform well in the assessment! Time passed day by day and three days had quickly passed. It was time to finally participate in the assessment examination. Early in the morning, all of the Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s disciples got up early and assembled in the courtyard entrance. Lin Zhantian looked at the crowd and said: ¡°Today we¡¯re going to the Full moon peak.¡± Full moon peak was one of the ten main peaks of Yi Yuan School and was home to the leaders of the vein disciples who were the direct descendants of Yi Yuan School¡¯s inheritance and held the directmand over the doctrines of the School. For ages, these leaders would generallye from the Full moon peak. Everyone was excited because they all wanted to be able to join the Full moon peak as the disciples of Full moon peak were considered as the most noble and honorable. But whether they would be able to enter into the Full moon peak depended on their performance during the assessment examination. ¡°This assessment will be conducted on the Full moon peak.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°The ancient masters of the Yi Yuan School came forth inrge numbers to create many small worlds. This time, we are going to a small world located on the Full moon peak, called Huanmo territory. This small world was created when an ancestor from previous generations of Yi Yuan School used his extraordinary magical powers to open the many spaces from the devil world and captured a lot of Huanmo and again used his magical powers to open up this small world.¡± Huanmo was a low-level devil, and was good at using magic to confuse the people, but even if it was at the lowest level among the devils, but also very tough. Ye Xiwen had read about them in some records, but in those records, devil world was treated just as a kind of myth and looked like an ancient mythology, but here, he actually heard that devils were real? ¡°Although it¡¯s only a small world, but it is hundred timesrger than our Qingfeng Mountain sub-school¡¯s Blood Yuan Territory.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°Here, the danger is also higher, but this small world¡¯s most important characteristic is its transformation between real and imaginary world. Even if someone dies inside this world, he wouldn¡¯t actually die and will be sent out immediately, but the things you all will see inside are deemed to be true. Other than this feature of no one dying inside this world, the rest is simr to other small worlds¡± The disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school were in uproar, because if that was the case then they really did not need to worry. They could just go all out, but at the same time, thepetition would be more intense because everyone would have no scruples as they knew that they wouldn¡¯t die no matter what. ¡°This is a protective measure to protect the newly arrived disciples.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°But you shouldn¡¯t think that you will not die. Those Huanmo are not humans and they are very good at mind control magic. Some people got their minds controlled by Huanmo and those creatures attached themselves onto the body of these people and they have since be their puppets.¡± All of the disciples trembled in fear because if that was the case then it was really too scary. People could be zombies after being controlled by those Huanmo, and after that, even if they survived, it would be worse than death. ¡°In the past, such a thing has happened when some of the disciples were being controlled and no one knew about it and it had nearly caused a cmity. I am telling all of this to remind you to always pay attention to your surroundings and be careful at all times.¡± Lin Zhantian said. ¡°The assessment requirements are very simple. So long as each of you kills one Huanmo, you can pass!¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°This assessment will be observed by many high-level personnel of the Sect, so if you give a splendid performance then you may get directly chosen by them in their veins, therefore, do your best and perform well.¡± ¡°We promise!¡± The disciples said in unison. Although even the weakest Huanmo was at the Houtian ninth stage but these disciples were all at the Houtian ninth stage or above and could easily handle a low-level devil like Huanmo. Huanmo were more formidable in the spiritual influence and mind control, especially those with weak minds were most vulnerable, but these were the elite disciples with strong minds, otherwise how could they have gained a high level cultivation at such a young age. So as long as they were careful, it would not be too difficult to deal with Huanmo! So, all of the disciples were confident because anyway they won¡¯t die and could disy their full strengths. Unless they had an extreme bad luck, there won¡¯t be any other problems! Lin Zhantian called the several demon birds and everyone jumped up. In total, there were twenty or so individuals participating from the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. ¡°You won¡¯t die during this assessment, but I hope that you will still be very cautious. This assessment is not too difficult, but the emphasis doesn¡¯t lie on just passing the examination, but in getting better results. If you fail abruptly then it is equivalent to missing a golden opportunity, understood?¡± Lin Zhantian did not forget to teach them even from over the demon bird. ¡°Yes!¡± The disciples nodded and said. ¡°Even after entering the Main Sect, you will still always be the vein disciples of my Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. The seal of Qingfeng Mountain has been long branded on your persona so I hope you will have heartfelt solidarity and you will also show your support in the future!¡± Lin Zhantian. From among these disciples, those who would be famous would also be a huge support for the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, in the future! ¡°Yes!¡± The disciples said in unison. While everyone was excited and gossiping about the assessment, the demon birds had already flown over several mountains to enter into the outer boundaries of Yi Yuan School. The inside of the Yi Yuan School was very lively and bustling with people and there was actually a city located in the hillside of the mountain peaks, showing the liveliness of Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 91 – The gathering of geniuses Chapter 91 ¨C The gathering of geniuses Within the premises of Yi Yuan School Main Sect, one could see demon birds flying everywhere, carrying the disciples. The crowd of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school responded with curiosity in their eyes, looking excitingly at this scene. But soon, the demon birds flew towards the foot of the Full moon mountain peak. Only the elders and true disciples were allowed to fly over the Full moon peak and others could only go up from the foot of the mountain. Lin Zhantian did not go with them, but directly jumped off from his demon bird and vanished in front of everyone. Everyone went towards the za of Full moon peak where disciples from over a hundred sub-schools were arriving one after another. Over a hundred sub-schools, even if each sub-school had only a few dozens of people, but after adding them up, the total number would go up to thousands of people. The good thing was that the za was very wide, and at the moment, it was filled with many shadows. These were the masters of the Houtian ninth stage, who were once the core disciples of their respective sub-schools. This gathering was truly magnificent and spectacr, far more than the gathering ofpetitions held at various sub-schools. And, of course,pared to the geniuses present in the gathering for thepetitions, the quality of talent here was undoubtedly much higher. Each of these sub-schools had elite disciples and all of them had dignified appearance, especially the Xiantian level disciples. All of them were upright, and very conceited, after all, they had already entered into the Xiantian realm before joining the Main Sect. To be able to be a Xiantian master was an incredible achievement for the sub-school disciples and they were considered elite among the elites. Ye Ruxue was thetest addition to the group of Xiantian masters of the Qingfeng Mountain sub-schools. Including her, now there were a total of four Xiantian masters, which was an unforeseen achievement in the history of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. Although there were a lot of strong opponents with many strong sub-schools, but some sub-schools were quite miserable with only a single Xiantian master. With over a hundred sub-schools arrived for the assessment, the strength of each sub-schools was not the same. The strength of some was almostparable to the three major sub-schools! ¡°It¡¯s truly spectacr!¡± Wu Hao sighed with emotion and said. Now these disciples had truly realized that their own road to practice, in the Main Sect, was finally going to begin and that there were several stronger people in the world. This scenery was going to encourage their unceasing progress! At this time, Ye Xiwen saw the people of three major sub-schools standing in front. Standing on the left were the people of Bingdao sub-school, led by a man with an extraordinary temperament. Ye Xiwen did not know but this guy was the well-known, Shangguan Xuanyi, one of the strongest three disciples of this year, with an unfathomable strength. Next to the group of Bingdao sub-school, was also arge group of people with each one of their disciples in the Xiantian realm. The group belonged to one of the three major sub-schools, Shen Huoshan sub-school. It was located in the southern part of the State, next to a volcano, and its disciples practiced fire attribute power techniques, making them a stark contrast with the disciples of Bingdao sub-school. (NT: ¡®Shen Huoshan sub-school¡¯ can also be called ¡®Divine Volcano sub-school¡¯) These two sub-schools had always been consistent rivals thanks to their ranks as one of the major sub-schools and also the opposing nature of their power techniques. In short, these two sub-schools were inherently hostile towards each other and also held mutual hatred. In front of the group of Divine volcano sub-school, there was a man, standing proudly with an appearance of approximately twenty-five-year-old. He was an abnormally burly man and Ye Xiwen found out that this man was named Yan Chiling. Simr to Shangguan Xuanyi, he also had an unfathomable strength. On the other side of the group of Divine Volcano sub-school, the group of third major sub-school was standing. This group belonged to the Yunu sub-school. As the name suggested, all the disciples in this major sub-school were females. The group consisted of many beautiful young female students and all of them looked very attractive and they had also grabbed the attraction of most of the male disciples. (NT: ¡®Yunu sub-school¡¯ can also be called ¡®Jade Lady sub-school¡¯) Their leader looked roughly 18-19 year old, dressed in yellow clothes pping in the wind, long hair, and had a delicate jade-like skin. Two strands of hair were gently flowing by the wind over her cheeks which wereplementing her seductive appearance even more. This was the genius female disciple of Jade Lady sub-school and was named Zhangsun Yuyin. It was said that few years ago, she had easily stepped into the Xiantian realm and no one knew what her cultivation level was now. Zhangsun Yuyin, Yan Chiling and Shangguan Xuanyi were said to be the three strongest disciples of this year and each of them had unfathomable strength. Although, other disciples would have to wait as they did not know which vein they might join but that was not the case for the disciples of Jade Lady sub-school, because it was already fixed for them. Jade Lady Sub-school was a subsidiary of Yi Yuan School¡¯s Jade Lady Mountain peak, so all the disciples were going to join the Jade Lady Mountain peak in the future. And the reason was that, Jade Lady Mountain peak only epted female disciples, while Jade Lady sub-school had been established by a previous senior of Jade Lady Mountain peak, so it was only obvious for the disciples of the Jade Lady sub-school to join Jade Lady Mountain peak. So rtively speaking, they didn¡¯t need to participate in this assessment. In addition to these three sub-schools, there were some other first ss sub-schools having more than ten disciples, who had already entered into the Xiantian realm. And then, there were middle level sub-schools like Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. Lastly, there were sub-schools with only one or two sub- Xiantian masters. In this world, where strength was the supremew and truth, only strong couldmand respect. ¡°Zhangsun Yuyin is just like an angel. She is the not only beautiful but is also this year¡¯s strongest disciple of Jade Lady sub-school. I heard that it has already been decided that she is going be the leader of the disciples at Jade Lady Mountain peak and will also be the senior of the mountain peak someday!¡± ¡°No wonder, it¡¯s really extraordinary how Jade Lady sub-school epts only female disciples and turns them into such strong masters!¡± ¡°Shangguan Xuanyi, Yan Chiling and Zhangsun Yuyin are this year¡¯s strongest among all of us and no one even knows what their true strengths are!¡± ¡°I have heard from some people that the three of them are already at the peak of Xiantian third stage, or may even have reached the Xiantian fourth stage!¡± When the disciples standing in the surrounding heard this, they could help but hold their breaths. Peak of Xiantian third stage or Xiantian fourth stage? To them, masters of such strengths were simply god-like existences. ¡ª¡ª Sunday: Chapter 92 in few hours. And, yes, i couldn¡¯t reach my target of releasing up to chapter 93 by Sunday!) Monday: Sponsored chapters 93 & 94 wille along with ¡®Sunday¡¯s Regr chapter 95¡¯ and ¡®Monday¡¯s Regr chapter 96¡¯ Raised so far: $90 (300%) Queue is cleared for Sponsored Chapters 92, 93 & 94 Chapter 92 – See you later Hua Menghan Chapter 92 ¨C See youter Hua Menghan Perhaps this level of strength was not too conspicuous in the Main Sect, but for many sub-schools, it was already very scary. All of these disciples were undoubtedly very talented and after entering into the Main Sect, they would start to cultivate vigorously. In the future, they would most likely enter into the Zhen dao realm and be true disciples. Peak of Xiantian third stage? Ye Xiwen turned again to look at the three strongest disciples and noticed that they were probably only a step away from reaching the Xiantian fourth stage and right now, he was not a match for any of them. But Ye Xiwen was not worried about these three geniuses because he was confident that he would eventually be able to catch up with them. ¡°Junior sister apprentice, take a look, these are this year¡¯s disciples!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes were closed when suddenly a loud voice reached his ears. Apanied with the sound of pping wings, two demon birds flew down from the sky. On top of arge eagle, stood a man with an appearance of about twenty-seven-year-old, d in traditional Chinese clothes dancing in the wind and there was a smile on his face. The other bird was snow-white crane carrying a ck-clothed beautiful woman who had a pair of ck curved eyebrows and pure-white skin. Looking at her, it seemed as if a celestial beauty had just descended into the mortal world. Everyone¡¯s eyes were attracted to both of them, even Ye Xiwen was no exception, but his eyes were not on the man but on the woman atop the crane. Hua Menghan! Ye Xiwen was determined that this was definitely the girl he had rescued in the cave. Compared to the slightly awkward girl he had seenst time, this time when he saw Hua Menghan, she was really like a fairy having an unparalleled grace and elegance. Her appearance was truly pleasing to the eyes. Hua Menghan seemed to have noticed Ye Xiwen¡¯s gaze and turned to look at him. After seeing Ye Xiwen, Hua Menghan was somewhat surprised as she did not expect to meet him so soon. Moreover, his current strength had really surprised her because when thest time she had met him, he was only a Houtian realm master, although while rescuing her, he had beheaded Luo Tian, but at that time, she had seriously injured Luo Tian. But now, Ye Xiwen had not just broken through to the Xiantian realm and was already at the peak of Xiantian first stage. Hua Menghan slowly descended from her crane, and step by step, walked towards Ye Xiwen while simply ignoring the Chinese-robed youth, who was constantly trying to talk to her. ¡°You came.¡± Hua Menghan said. ¡°En!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. ¡°I still haven¡¯t thanked you for thest time.¡± Hua Menghan said as she was in a hurryst time and had left without thanking him personally which could be considered a very rude behavior. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, that was as easy as lifting a hand.¡± Ye Xiwen shook his head and said as he had benefited a lot from that incident and couldn¡¯t ask for more. ¡°Junior sister apprentice.¡± At this time, the Chinese-robed youth also came over, ¡°Who are you?¡± The Chinese-robed youth frowned and shouted in a low tone. He had instinctively felt some threat from Ye Xiwen. Seeing the youth questioning Ye Xiwen, Hua Menghan wrinkled her ck eyebrow. But right then, Ye Xiwen said: ¡°Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, Ye Xiwen!¡± Ye Xiwen could see arrogance and a look of disdain in the eyes of that Chinese-robed youth. The Main Sect disciples always looked down on the disciples from sub-schools as there was a huge difference between their strengths. But that Chinese-robed youth forced a smile on his face and said: ¡°Hello junior disciple, I¡¯m Hu Yanghang, a core disciple.¡± When Ye Xiwen heard that Hu Yanghang was a core disciple, adding to his arrogant tone, the meaning was clear that he was obviously pursuing Hua Menghan and was one of her suitors. And this was a method of warning him to stay away. Just like Hua Menghan, Ye Xiwen also neglected Hu Yanghang. He took out a phoenix shaped jade pendant then put it before Hua Menghan and said: ¡°I give this Jade rare treasure back to you.¡± There was a shocked look in Hu Yanghang¡¯s eyes and his gaze was continuously swinging between Hua Menghan and Ye Xiwen. How could he not know that this jade pendant was very precious to Hua Menghan and she would never allow others to even take a look at it? And now, it actually appeared in the hands of Ye Xiwen. Exactly what had happened between the two of them that Hua Menghan had actually given her precious jade pendant to someone else? Thinking of all sorts of possibilities, suddenly, Hu Yanghang looked at Ye Xiwen with a killing look shing in his eyes. ¡°Since you already have it, just keep it.¡± Hua Menghan lightly said, ¡°Inparison to what you did for me, this jade pendant is simply not enough.¡± When many disciples standing around in the crowd of heard Hua Menghan, they could secretly make a guess that Ye Xiwen must have handled some major matter that had actually led to his friendship with this fairy. Ye Xiwen did not want to exin anything to anyone as this secret belonged to the two of them and he wanted to keep this thing a secret between just the two of them! ¡°Assessment is about to start, I won¡¯t take your time anymore.¡± After saying a few words to Ye Xiwen, she didn¡¯t stay there for too long and flew into the sky on her crane and soon disappeared from the eyes of everyone. When Hu Yanghang saw Hua Menghan leaving, he was also not in a mood to stay there. He first gave gloomy nces to Ye Xiwen then mounted his eagle and left. After the two of them left, many disciples of various sub-schools started to give curious looks to Ye Xiwen because they didn¡¯t know how he hade to know a disciple from Full moon peak. Even Shangguan Xuanyi, Yan Chiling and Zhangsun Yuyin had turned back and were looking curiously at Ye Xiwen. Although they did not have to be specific, but anyone could make a guess that those two were definitely the disciples of Full moon peak because except the true disciples and elder-ss people, as well as some characters with special permissions, only the disciples of this peak were allowed to fly over the Full moon peak. The people of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school were especially very curious. They couldn¡¯t understand how Hua Menghan was on such friendly terms with Ye Xiwen and it seemed that she owed him a great debt as well, otherwise, why would she be willing to give her personal jade pendant to him. Although they did not know the specific effects of that jade pendant, but with just one look, anyone could see that the jade pendant was really extraordinary. Faced with so many curious gazes, Ye Xiwen directly closed his eyes. Ye Xiwen had killed Luo Tian and people of his n so he didn¡¯t want to get in trouble by getting a new formidable enemy. Ye Xiwen also did not want to develop a habit of ¡®stirring up trouble wherever he goes¡¯! The crowd did not continue to look at Ye Xiwen because assessement examination had finally started. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Goodnight guys!) Monday: Bonus chapters 93 & 94 wille along with ¡®Sunday¡¯s Regr chapter 95¡¯ and ¡®Monday¡¯s Regr chapter 96¡¯ Raised so far: $60 (200%) Queue is cleared for bonus Chapters 93 & 94 Chapter 93 – Huanmo’s surprise attack Chapter 93 ¨C Huanmo¡¯s surprise attack The assessment examination had finally begun and this was going to be a turning point in their lives. Ye Xiwen also did not have many thoughts about Hua Menghan, because at the moment, one could say that he was still very far away from her. A purple-clothed old man flew from a distant ce and arrived in front of the disciples. He was an elder of Full moon peak and without any idle talk, he just looked at the crowd then said: ¡°This entry assessment examination, begins!¡± The purple-clothed elder conveniently waved his hand and suddenly, the space began to violently fluctuate. A mysterious streak of light appeared out of nowhere and it seemed that the whole space had been ripped open and a gate formed which slowly opened with a loud rumble. Suddenly arge amount of Lingqi, mixed with disgusting gas, spewed out from the gate. Fortunately, the Houtian realm disciples had not yet opened up the world bridge and so they couldn¡¯t feel the sudden discharge of Lingqi from the gate. However those Xiantian realm disciples suddenly felt the presence of this disgusting gas and frowned with a clear displeasure on their faces. However, it was not surprising for everyone because they had already been informed by their elders that there wererge number of Huanmo devils present in the Huanmo territory, so of course, there would be arge amount of magic present in the atmosphere. In fact, so far, it was found that only devil race could biologically adapt to moqi. Even the most violent and powerful demon beasts couldn¡¯t withstand the direct instill of moqi. (NT: ¡®moqi¡¯ can mean ¡®devil qi¡¯ or ¡®magical qi¡¯) However Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes had brightened when he discovered that the ¡®Special Space¡¯ in his mind was able to absorb the moqi. He already knew that he could absorb the Lingqi present in the atmosphere in the mysterious space, but had never done it before because the absorption effectiveness of Lingqi from the atmosphere was too slow. Even in the Lingqi enriched environment of Yi Yuan School, the absorption rate of Lingqi was very lesspared to that of the Lingqi present in the Spirit stones, after all, formation of these spirit stones would take innumerable years of absorption of Lingqi, so it was natural that it would be easy to extract Lingqi from spirit stones. Ye Xiwen thought, since he could absorb the moqi in the ¡®Special Space¡¯, then he might also be able to absorb Yaoqi or other energy forms of qi as well! (NT: ¡®Yaoqi¡¯ means ¡®evil qi¡¯) But Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have enough time to think of this matter as the sub-school teams had started entering the Huanmo territory one by one ording to their ranks. The team of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school also walked towards the entrance of Huanmo territory. The purple-clothed elder waved his hand and a huge bubble formed and they were wrapped inside it and the team quickly disappeared from the eyes of the crowd. No one knew after how long, the team of Qingfeng mountain sub-school finally appeared in the Huanmo territory and everywhere, they could see a devastated scenary. The ground was withered and from time to time, magical fire wasing out of the fissures in the ground and the air containing the mixture of Lingqi and moqi was blowing on their faces. The environment here was quite harsh, and originally, this territory belonged to the devil race which was once destroyed and they had already left, not to mention those Huanmo devils were the remaining part of the lost devil civilization. It was simr to situation where a modern man would leave the city to live in the forest for decades. ¡°Is this Huanmo territory? It is even more deste than expected.¡± One of the disciples sighed and said. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yang nodded, ¡°It seems like the random transportation like thest time and without a map, we do not even know our location.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to hurry. Once we find a Huanmo city, we will naturally get a map from there.¡± Ye Feng said as in the Huanmo territory, Huanmo race should be considered the indigenous and it was not surprising if they had a map. Moreover, Huanmo belonged to the devil race but they certainly were intelligent creatures, therefore they also had small towns in the Huanmo territory, but these towns were simply just a prototype and couldn¡¯t be regarded as real towns. Suddenly the air distorted and the surrounding scenery instantly changed and in a sh, numerous tall buildings and a bustling metropolis took shape in front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt nostalgic about this scenery. For a long time he had not seen such scenery which used to be somon for him. That verymon scenery containing the reinforced concrete buildings of the city, but at this moment, seemed so friendly. This scene was buried deep inside his heart but he did not know when it would disappear. Ye Xiwen suddenly sneered and punched forward containing the terrifying might of a tornado which swept clean the scene instantly. At this time, the nostalgic scene disappeared and returned back into the scene of Huanmo territory. As he had expected, this was really the illusion magic, although he was well prepared beforeing as Lin Zhantian had reminded everyone to be attentive in the Huanmo territory. Huanmo excelled at using illusion magic to confuse people, and once someone fell into the trap, he will be quickly defeated or even eaten. Sure enough, when Ye Xiwen opened his eyes, he saw hundreds of Huanmo heading towards them. Their bodies were very small, only two feet tall, four arms and the size of their head was almost more than their whole body, two huge red eyes were flickering with ominous rays of light and their big bloody mouths were open and were rushing towards the team of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. A Huanmo had already rushed to the front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen sneered and shot his palm producing a thunderstorm rumbling sound, pass like thunder and move like the wind, and his palm directly shot into the big mouth of the Huanmo. ¡°Boom!¡± The Houtian ninth stage Huanmo immediately exploded in a single blow. Almost in a sh, half of the body of that Huanmo turned into moqi. The bodies of these Huanmo devils were mostly made up of energy, coupled with the unusuallyrge brain which they specially used to send out illusion magic with ease. In an instant, the moqi that passed through the body of Ye Xiwen was absorbed by the mysterious space and deepened hisprehension of various martial arts. In fact, Ye Xiwen¡¯s martial arts practice never stopped in the ¡®Special Space¡¯, but when he fully immersed himself in practicing then the efficiency also increased. And after absorbing the moqi from the dead Huanmo, he realized that theprehension speed in the mysterious space was a little fasterpared to when he absorbed the Lingqi from spirit stones. But at this time, he didn¡¯t have much time to think. He instantly drew his long de and chopped out a brilliant deqi in the shape of several meters long deqi which instantly arrived in front of several Huanmo and they were split in half. At this time, Ye Feng, Zhang Yang and Ye Ruxue, the other three Xiantian masters, also shattered their illusions and rushed towards the attacking Huanmo. After a while, the other disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school also shattered their respective illusions and joined the fight. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 94 – Masters intercept Chapter 94 ¨C Masters intercept Ye Xiwen heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Huanmo itself was not a strong creature but the problem was their raid. They would first release an illusion magic and people would unknowingly fall into the illusion, although most of the experts had firm minds and wouldn¡¯t take long to break out of the illusion, but even if they took a couple of seconds to break out, these two seconds would often decide their fate, because for ordinary people, two seconds were nothing, but that was not the case for a warrior facing Huanmo raid. Sure enough, Ye Xiwen had not expected but the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain disciples would so easily escape from Huanmo¡¯s illusion. Even if the numbers of Huanmo were five times more than their own, under the leadership of Ye Xiwen and the others, killing those Huanmo had be child¡¯s y for the team. Everyone easily killed one or more Huanmo andpleted the assessment without any fundamental difficulty. But, even after quickly ughtering these Huanmo, they were not rxed, because clearance was not their main goal. Clearing the assessment was easy, unless someone had a severe bad luck. Passing with extraordinary scores was their actual goal. Anyway, this test had a full month¡¯s time and everyone had plenty of time to hone their skills, but also kill more Huanmo for better performance. Everyone knew that their actions inside the Huanmo territory were being observed by high-level school personnel, so they just needed to give a good performance to catch their attention. ¡°Now that we are inside the Huanmo territory, we may encounter danger at any time, and those Huanmo may appear anywhere so we have to be careful at all time.¡± Ye Feng said. ¡°Yes!¡± The disciples said in unison. Beforeing here, the goal for these disciples was to pass the assessement and then only they would think about getting good results, but since Ye Xiwen was with them, their morale had increased. In their hearts, Ye Xiwen hadpletely reced Ye Feng, although Ye Xiwen was younger in age, but to them, he was just like their spiritual leader. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was still notparable to that of Shangguan Xuanyi, but his strength was still among the group of disciples with their strengths right below the three strongest disciples. And being led by such a strong master was very assuring for them as anyway they won¡¯t die in the Huanmo territory. However, Ye Feng was keeping silent and was not talking much aftering to the Huanmo territory because he was little anxious as Huanmo were not their only opponents. Even excluding the three major sub-schools, there still were a lot of strong sub-schools with many Xiantian masters. These Xiantian masters from various sub-schools hade from all over the Great Yue State to enter into Yi Yuan School and possessed different kinds of martial arts and unknown killing techniques and skills. So far, they had not yet encountered another team, but sooner orter, they might encounter a very formidable opponent. Although they won¡¯t die in the Huanmo territory but they would still be thrown outside after dying. Days passed, and shortly, the Qingfeng Mountain crowd had spent more than three days in the Huanmo territory. In three days, they faced Huanmo raid several times, but the crowd had already be experienced in fighting off the Huanmo and had at least beheaded fifty-six Huanmo, and with that, they had extraordinarilypleted the assessment. Wu Hao and Qian Wanru were on the verge of having a breakthrough and it seemed that they might have it in the Huanmo territory. It was a good thing for them that they were going to enter into the Xiantian realm before joining the Main Sect. On this day, they approached a mountain and were thinking about exploring it when suddenly seven figures jumped out and intercepted them. They were, in every respect, releasing an extremely terrifying aura and were definitely very powerful Xiantian masters. Theplexion of the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school suddenly changed. Seven powerful Xiantian masters had actuallye out of nowhere and intercepted them. One must know that even a moderate rank sub-school had less than seven Xiantian masters and Qingfeng Mountain sub-school had only four. And each of these seven Xiantian masters had a strong Xiantian aura and the weakest of them was at least the master of Xiantian second stage which had totally startled them. ¡°Who are you people, why are you blocking our way?¡± Ye Xiwen came forward and asked. He had noticed three of these seven masters in the za. He was paying attention to the strong masters in the za and had made a mental note of the top yers from various sub-schools. He knew that these people were one of the strongest Xiantian masters of this year. But he had not seen the other four masters and it was possible that they didn¡¯t belong to any sub-schools and were definitely neers, after all, Yi Yuan School was one of the four great sects and held a huge influence in the Great Yue Stat, so during the triennial examination, the aspiring disciples were not only from the respective sub-schools but from all parts of the state. Various powerful ns from all over the Great Yue State would also send their elite disciples to join the Main Sect and bring glory to their ns. Although the number of disciples who had entered the Huanmo territory to participate in the assessment exam was veryrge, but Huanmo territory was very huge, muchrgerpared to Blood Yuan territory and therefore, they had not encountered other disciples for these many days, but as the days would pass, the number of encounters would continue to grow more and more. These people were not very old and seemed around the age of twenty, but all of them had a dignified appearance and presumably were top masters in the younger generation of their ns. ¡°You are Ye Xiwen?¡± The Chinese-robed young man who was standing in the middle and seemed like the leader of these seven masters asked. All the sub-school disciples had heard about the recent exploits of Ye Xiwen because the rumors had made him quite famous among the disciples as the undefeated sub-school disciple. The disciples from other schools or ns, who didn¡¯t belong to any sub-schools were generally very talented, after all, they were not stupid. If they tried to enter into the Main Sect with poor strength then they would only be handyman disciples. That is the reason why only strong masters of Xiantian realm woulde to join the Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect. Ye Xiwen¡¯s heart sank when he heard that they had actuallye for him. He looked towards the Chinese-robed man and replied: ¡°It¡¯s me, what do you want?¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 95 – Your family members are bugs Chapter 95 ¨C Your family members are bugs ¡°It¡¯s me, what do you want?¡± Ye Xiwen looked at the seven people and almost all of them looked dignified and seemed like the elite disciples from their respective ns or schools, but this time, they had actuallye to join the Main Sect. ¡°Your journey ends here.¡± The Chinese-robed young man coldly said, ¡°You should know that you must never offend people you can¡¯t resist.¡± Among these seven people, not even one of them had a lower cultivation than Ye Xiwen. All of them had a terrifying presence, not to mention, they hade together for him so it was going to get rough. The four of them standing on the sides were amazingly at the peak of Xiantian second stage with 40% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi. The three in the middle were at the Xiantian third stage with 50% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi. Chinese-robed young man standing in the middle had an amazing aura and was staring coldly at Ye Xiwen as if he was looking at a bug. On his left was a diminutive young youth with a sinister look on his face and his expression resembled that of a poisonous snake. On his right was an extremely seductive woman dressed in purple Chinese dress exposing her nice figure, but there was a cold expression on her face. Ye Xiwen noticed that this trio would prove to be very tough opponents for him and it would be very difficult to deal with any of them. He needed to be very careful while fighting them. He could easily take on each of these seven masters in a one on one battle and Huanmo territory was best for battles like this, but right now, the situation was a little perilous for him because all seven of them hade together for his life and he didn¡¯t even know how he had offended them or exactly whom he had offended. In the end, he might not have enough energy left to fight all of them. ¡°How can there be so many strong Xiantian masters.¡± Ye Feng¡¯s heart sunk down, because he was only at the peak of Xiantian first stage and except Ye Xiwen, no one else in the team was more powerful than him. Because of this, he could clearly feel the terrifying aura of these seven masters and knew that they very strong. ¡°It¡¯s scary.¡± Ye Ruxue muttered. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you will die today without even getting a chance to fight back. That senior said to teach you a lesson to make you understand your own status, so that you know whom you should get close to, and with whom you should not.¡± The diminutive youth licked his lips and a killing intent shed in his eyes. Hu Yanghang, in Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind, that name immediately cropped up. That diminutive youth had already given him enough hints that it was easy to guess the enemy¡¯s identity. This Hu Yanghang was really very insidious and ruthless! Just to make him understand to not get close to Hua Menghan, he had nned all this to teach him a lesson in Huanmo territory. Ye Xiwen heart was filled with anger and hatred for that arrogant bastard who thought he was superior to others and couldn¡¯t mind his own damn business. ¡°Let me teach him a lesson.¡± A blue-robed youth came forward and said. ¡°We are not your enemies but you still must intercept us, this is really going too far.¡± Qian Wanru said with indignation. ¡°You all leave right now.¡± Ye Xiwen suddenly said. ¡°How can we just go and leave you alone.¡± Ye Ruxue said in a worried tone. ¡°These people are the top yers and even if you stay, you won¡¯t be of much help.¡± Ye Xiwen said like a true leader because he knew that sometimes, quantity could not make up for strength. Except Ye Xiwen, the strongest among them was Ye Feng who was only at the peak of Xiantian first stage and most of other disciples were still the masters of the Houtian realm. If they stayed, it would be totally meaningless to fight a hopeless battle, so they might as well leave in advance. ¡°Hey, you are quite knowledgeable.¡± The diminutive young people sneered and since their main goal was just Ye Xiwen, they didn¡¯t care about other weaklings. Everyone thought the same, because that was the truth. Under the siege of so many strong Xiantian masters, their presence would only prove to be an obstacle for Ye Xiwen. Qingfeng Mountain people quickly made their decisions and so did Ye Xiwen and most importantly, in the Huanmo territory, even if someone died inside, they would immediately be thrown outside, so it was not that Ye Xiwen was really in a life-threatening danger. After thinking a lot and making their decisions, soon, the Qingfeng Mountain crowd left leaving only Ye Xiwen and the seven masters on the scene. Ye Xiwen was relieved, because now, he could disy his full strength and go all out without caring about anything. ¡°Good, those bugs are gone, hey, it seems that you are quite famous among the disciples of your sub-school.¡± The blue-robed youth sneered and said. Bugs! A killing intent shed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes! The blue-robed youth took a step and like a tornado, he rushed towards Ye Xiwen, with his fist forming a huge storm and a terrifying twisting Quanjin suddenly arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen sneered and shot his palm, Rushing thunder hand, Pass like thunder and move like the wind, and with a rumbling sound of thunder, his palm wrapped in lightning-like Zhen Qi instantly greeted theing fist. ¡°Boom!¡± The collision produced a loud sound apanied withyer byyer of shockwaves rushing in all directions, as if, the mighty waves were running on the surface of the sea. These waves became a huge twisting storm and swept off the scene. The fights between Xiantian and Houtian realm masters would always be on entirely different levels because Xiantian masters could directly stimte the Lingqi fluctuations in the atmosphere, making these fights highly destructive. Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying palm attack had easily blocked off and wiped out the storm created by the Blue-robed youth¡¯s attack. There was a surprised look on his face as he did not expect his attack to be effortlessly blocked off by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bugs ...¡± Ye Xiwen sneered: ¡°Your family members are bugs!¡± Ye Xiwen instantly rushed towards him, as if a celestial being was talking a stroll, and with a group of thundercloud like Zhen Qi covering his right hand, he shoved it towards the body of that blue-robed youth. He didn¡¯t even have a chance to react. The three powerful masters suddenly shouted: ¡°Stop!¡± ¡°You dare!¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t care about these people and instantly shot his palm. ¡°Boom!¡± The thunder-like Zhen Qi sted into the chest that Blue-robed youth and instantly sted him away. He was sent flying into the sky but suddenly his stature turned into a streamer and directly disappeared. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 96 – Arduous battle Chapter 96 ¨C Arduous battle ¡°Boom!¡± The thunder-like Zhen Qi sted into the chest that Blue-robed youth and instantly sted him away. He was sent flying into the sky but suddenly his stature turned into a streamer and directly disappeared. He died in Huanmo territory but he didn¡¯t really die, but disappeared into a streamer and was thrown back into the outside world. ¡°How dare you!¡± The remaining six people were looking at Ye Xiwen with a look of disbelief on their faces. They just couldn¡¯t digest the fact that Ye Xiwen had actually killed theirrade in a blink of an eye. They just never thought that things would turn out like this. They were overconfident and looking at their strengths, this assessment was going to be very easy for them. When they were given the task to ambush Ye Xiwen and teach him a lesson, they had considered this task a child¡¯s y, after all, he was just one guy and his strength was also below their own. They had imagined that he would be crushed to death in a single blow from that blue-robed youth but what just happened? Ye Xiwen sneered and said: ¡°One bug crushed and now it¡¯s your turn. Will you alle together, or one by one?¡± Ye Xiwen took a deep breath, rxed his whole body, concentrated, he must fight because he had no chance of retreat. His only option was to go all out, not to mention that he wouldn¡¯t die here, so this was a good opportunity to fight so many powerful masters and gain experience. Since this was an examination and these rivals could be called his enemies so he could only continue to conquer his enemies one by one and then only, he would be able to be invincible! Ye Xiwen even had a crazy idea to use the extraordinary strengths of these six men and force his inner state to its limits then he might be able to have a breakthrough, because, it was said that a breakthrough could be initiated during a life and death situation by forcing oneself to the extreme. ¡°You are courting death!¡± ¡°Arrogant!¡± These masters were suddenly outraged as whether they belonged to sub-schools, or other outer forcesing from all over the state, but there was no doubt that all of them were top talents from their respective forces and had never been insulted like this, not to mention, they hade to crush him, but now, one of them had been crushed instead and he had dared to insult them as well. Ye Xiwen¡¯s provocation had hurt their pride and dignity and this unexpected humiliation had caused their anger to suddenly erupt. ¡°Kill him!¡± All six of them shouted and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Being the outstanding disciples in their forces, each of them possessed one or more secret Xiantian power techniques, practiced to the profound level. At this time, various types of martial arts sted towards Ye Xiwen. He finally pulled out a long de from the scabbard on his back and waved it violently which instantly shot a dazzling delight towards the iing rumbling attacks. ¡°Boom!¡± A heart shaking loud sound burst out sending shock-waves in all directions causing the smoke and dust to spread in surrounding area. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was fully wrapped in Xiantian Zhen Qi body and he leaped up towards the sky, and instead of retreating back, he used ¡®Celestial step¡¯ and in a sh, his figure rushed horizontally all the way towards the six masters with his long de scattering a bright delight. ¡°Ah!¡± A master didn¡¯t get a chance to evade the de attack and was split in half and disappeared in the very next instant. This was indeed a terrifying battle where the fight had begun only an instant ago and a master had already been beheaded. The remaining five didn¡¯t have a shred of mercy and severely attacked Ye Xiwen. Even if he was using Celestial steps, he had been hit several times and many wounds appeared on his body. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you are strong, I admit that you are very strong but unfortunately you are facing so many of us and you no chance of winning. Just surrender because anyway no one really dies in this Huanmo territory.¡± The Chinese-robed young man said. He was a prideful person but he had to admit that Ye Xiwen was ridiculously strong because even if they were ganging up on one individual but they were still having a hard time coping with him. There was clearly a look of disdain on their faces because two of their own had been effortlessly defeated by the guy they had initially looked down upon, but he was still giving them a hard time in this brutal fight, so they had to admit that Ye Xiwen was truly formidable. Ye Xiwen sneered but didn¡¯t answer. He was bathed in blood but the wounds couldn¡¯t make him to withdraw but only made him to have a clear understanding, that although no one would die in the Huanmo territory, but they would still get mentally and physically injured. In the world of martial arts, there was no retreat, giving up was never an option and the most important practice was to persevere or else all previous efforts woulde to naught. Ye Xiwen was not nning to give up just because he had sustained injuries. This time, he strengthened his determination with the thought that ¡®this was an illusion so he must persevere to break out of it¡¯. ¡°Phew!¡± A subtle piercing sound echoed and out of the blue, it seemed as if a dagger had arrived to the front of Ye Xiwen, but it was actually that diminutive youth. He was extremely fast and had practiced a strange agility technique because his movements were simr to that of snakes, which could easily scare people. But suddenly, the Chinese-robed youth appeared in front of Ye Xiwen and sted his punch releasing a golden Quanjin. It seemed as if a golden light had illuminated the entire world, but the atmosphere had been distorted by the burst of this golden Quanjin. A cold light shed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes and the spirit stones started to burn producing an unimaginable amount of Lingqi which was directly injected into the ¡®Special Space¡¯. Arge influx of martial arts experience entered into his mind and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was trying his best to surpass his own limits. When fighting against five strong Xiantian masters, most people would have already lost confidence by now, and talking about most people, there was simply no chance for them to grab the victory in a situation like this, but Ye Xiwen refused to give up on the slightest hope of victory. These series of attacks were extremely dangerous. No need to say that Chinese-robed youth was the most terrifying opponent. The charming woman had a hand mirror and she was using it to constantly send out waves of intermittent divine streaks of light, and wherever the light would shine, the space would immediately distort. The might of her attack was abnormally terrifying. This was the biggest crisis Ye Xiwen had evere across! A crazed look shed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes. The long de incessantly danced in his hand and instantly nine de shadows appeared in the sky. ¡°Boom!¡± The Quanjin of that Chinese-robed youth bombed fiercely on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. He spat a mouthful of blood and his ck hair flew upwards but his body was like an Iron wall that didn¡¯t budge at all, instead, he continued to swing his long de, with all of his focus centered on the diminutive youth. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de chopped out towards the flying dagger-like diminutive youth, releasing the nine de shadows which blocked off all of his escape routes. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Wednesday: Since the queue didn¡¯t clear for Tuesday¡¯s Grand release, Chapter 97 wille as a regr release on Wednesday along with bonus chapters depending on the queuepletion.

Ye Xiwen had reached a high degree of proficiency in using the move, New moon beheader, and the curtain of nine des had instantly block all the movements of that diminutive youth. He had beenpletely surrounded by this curtain of des and had been unable to utilize his agility skill. ¡°Puchi!¡± The diminutive youth just stood there as if he had already given up and let Ye Xiwen to behead him. It was not that he didn¡¯t want to do anything, but he couldn¡¯t. Regardless of where he wanted to escape, Ye Xiwen¡¯s de would easily catch up to him. Atst, he was directly beheaded by Ye Xiwen and disappeared. The remaining four masters were furious because in a short time, Ye Xiwen had unexpectedly beheaded three of theirrades, especially the diminutive youth, as he was one of the three strongest masters in their group and had been ughtered so easily. ¡°You are courting death!¡± The charming woman shouted loudly and violently shook the hand mirror in her hand. The divine rays of light rumbled and went directly towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Intermittent terrifying explosions urred when Ye Xiwen tried to block the divine light with his palm but as the divine light fell on his palm, it started to directly disintegrate his iron-like palm which was immediately covered in blood. In his body, the mad revolution of Zhen Qi was going on. Breakthrough, he just needed to have a breakthrough because that was the only way out of this situation. If he didn¡¯t have a breakthrough then facing the deadly attacks of these masters would only lead to his end. Although he had beheaded the diminutive youth, but at the same time, he had also suffered the golden fist attack from the Chinese-robed youth and the injury he had sustained was getting more and more serious. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t run away and was betting everything on the breakthrough. He needed to have it during the battle because he had no other choice left and if he couldn¡¯t seed in having a breakthrough soon then it would most likely be a dead end for him. Ye Xiwen roared loudly while the Zhen Qi was rushing madly inside his body,yer uponyer, like waves of the sea. His ck hair was dispersed and flying in the wind and his whole body was covered in severe wounds and blood. If looked from afar, he seemed like a reincarnation of a mad god of killing from ancient times, who had returned to wreak havoc on this world. Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes were somewhat vacant as he was unceasingly processing innumerable information in his mind while the Zhen Qi was madly revolving inside his body. He seemed like a puppet resisting the attacks of those four masters with only a small section of consciousness left to operate the body while his main consciousness waspletely immersed in the martial god space, desperately trying to break through his inner state. Also, he was able to do it because he was ustomed to this, but before, he would keep his main spirit on the outside and now, he was focusing his main spirit into the martial god space. ¡°Bang!¡±Ye Xiwen was sted away and sent flying again. The muscles on his chest darted off in all directions along with a lot of blood. ¡°Ha ha ha, he is still refusing to die!¡± The Chinese-robed youthughed and said. The remaining three masters were finally relieved, after all, it was too hard to deal with a formidable master like Ye Xiwen. Seven masters had ganged up on him but he had still been able to kill three of them in a short time. It clearly showed that none of them were his opponents in a one on one battle. Fortunately they had pushed him to a dead end and could finally behead him. Suddenly they discovered that the present Ye Xiwen had somewhat changed, and right then, a majestic aura shot up into the sky. The bright look had instantly restored in his eyes but his aura continued to rise and quickly rose to a pinnacle state. However, his aura didn¡¯t actually stop to rise but, bit by bit, it continued to rise further towards a breakthrough. ¡°Stop him, hurry up and stop him, do not let him have a breakthrough!¡± The charming woman suddenly shouted in a sharp voice. She was also a Xiantian master so how could she not know what was happening? She immediately understood that Ye Xiwen was on the verge of a breakthrough and could have it any time. He was originally so hard to deal with and if allowed to have a breakthrough, then won¡¯t they all lose their lives at his hands? However it was already toote as his aura had finally broken through the barrier and he had finally reached the Xiantian second stage with a 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi in his body. After breaking through to the Xiantian second stage, now, he could easily contend with masters at the rank of Shangguan Xuanyi, let alone these four masters. Ye Xiwen looked calm and collected then coldly looked at the four masters. The Chinese-robed youth immediately rushed towards him aiming a golden tornado-like Quanjin right at him. Ye Xiwen sneered and shot ¡°Coiling dragon Palm¡±. Suddenly a roaring gigantic Dragon rose from the abyss and soared high in the sky. This was the scene of ¡°Coiling dragon Palm¡± and this was also the first time he had used this ancient technique in an actualbat. A long big Dragon congealed from the palm of Ye Xiwen and roared loudly. It flew straight towards that golden tornado, opened its big powerful ws and directly grasped it. The golden tornado had been immediately neutralized by that Dragon and it went straight towards the Chinese-robed youth and maliciously collided with his body. ¡°Puff!¡± The Chinese-robed youth spout a mouthful of blood and his body flew upside down, halfway, he changed into streamer and vanished. At this time, the charming woman¡¯s divine light had approached in front of Ye Xiwen and was about to attack his body, but suddenly, his long de shed and instantly chopped out a terrifying deqi. The divine light collided head on with the deqi and was directly annihted, but after that, the deqi didn¡¯t stop and directly rushed towards the charming woman. She never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually be so incredibly strong that he wouldpletely annihte her divine light attack but she didn¡¯t have any time to dodge and was directly split in half. The remaining two masters couldn¡¯t believe their eyes and were looking incredibly at Ye Xiwen. They couldn¡¯t understand that the tables had been turned and the situation had suddenly be dangerous for them. A while ago, they had an upper hand, however in a short time, the situation had reversed and Ye Xiwen had got on the winning side after killing the Chinese-robed youth and the charming woman. They just couldn¡¯t ept such a reversal of situation. However the three strongest masters had been killed by Ye Xiwen, so it was obvious that they did not have the means to escape his wrath. They tried to run away but were chased down and quickly beheaded by Ye Xiwen. Soon, the seven masters reappeared in the Full moon peak with unsightlyplexions. They never thought that even if so many masters would encircle together to kill one person, but, they would be killed instead. Before, they also thought that it was such a pity that they wouldn¡¯t be able to actually kill Ye Xiwen in the Huanmo territory, a ce where no one died, but right now, they were actually very happy that luckily, it was not the reality otherwise they would be dead right now. They had clearly seen the ruthless nature of Ye Xiwen and knew very well that even if it was the reality, Ye Xiwen definitely would not have shown any mercy instead he would have killed them even more ruthlessly. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 98 – Proceeds to join Chapter 98 ¨C Proceeds to join After almost one monthter in the Huanmo territory. ¡°Ha!¡± With a loud shout, Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure danced together with his long de and directly split a Huanmo into two halves. The demon beasts of Xiantian first stage were simply not a match for him and his de would easily split them in half. After beheading the Huanmo devils, half of their bodies would turn into moqi, and he would absorb this moqi into the mysterious space. Thanks to this, his understanding of various martial arts techniques had increased considerably. One month ago, even killing a Huanmo of peak Xiantian third stage was very difficult for him, but now, it had be a child¡¯s y for him. Five days ago, he had fought with a Huanmo of Xiantian fourth stage and his fighting strength was so fierce that it had to escape with severe injuries. Although the battle efficiency of Huanmo was somewhat low, but it was sufficient enough to let him assess his own strength. Now, his strength was easily equivalent to that of masters of peak Xiantian third stage with 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi and he could even contend with masters of Xiantian fourth stage with 70% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi. During this month, Ye Xiwen was not in a hurry to meet up with the crowd of Qingfeng mountain sub-school and had fully concentrated on testing his new strength and honing his skills, and for that, these Huanmo devils had be his test subjects. In just a month¡¯s practice, his various martial arts had made considerable progress. The technique to show the most progress was ¡°Restraining breath technique¡± and he had practiced it to the Dacheng realm. At present, he could change his own appearance and breath at will without getting recognized. The Xiantian realm parts of ¡°Celestial step¡± had also been practiced to the Xiaocheng realm. Now, his speed had increased considerably and his movements had be even more elegant than before. Thest move ¡®Full moon beheader¡¯ of the technique ¡°Cold moon beheader¡± had also been practiced to the Xiaocheng realm. The ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡± first move, ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ had been practiced to the ¡®Xiaocheng¡¯ realm and its might had increased by several times. Ye Xiwen could contend with the masters of Xiantian fourth stage by relying on the terrifying might of ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯, but using this move once consumed about 10% of his Zhen Qi, and though he possessed 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi, but using this move multiple times could put a lot of pressure on his body. All these days, Ye Xiwen had spent most of his time and energy in deducing the secondyer contents of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, and his hard work had paid off, because after spending a total of 1000 spirit stones, he had finally deduced the secondyer and gained the first glimpse of the nextyer and his strength had doubled once again. Now, his previous strength of 19 Dragons had directly increased to the strength of 39 Dragons, which was thebined result of ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯ and reaching the peak of 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi. Fortunately, only 1000 spirit stones had been burned to deduce the secondter of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡± and he now had 2000 spirit stones left in his stock which was still enough to call him wealthy. The main reason behind this was the moqi released by dead Huanmo. Ye Xiwen would absorb this moqi and this had satisfied the enormous need of energy needed to practice in ¡®Special Space¡¯ and this was how he didn¡¯t have to use many spirit stones. This was also the reason why he was not in a hurry to meet up with the people of Qingfeng mountain sub-school but was wandering alone in the Huanmo boundary, fighting and killing Huanmo. He didn¡¯t want to expose to others that he could absorb moqi, as this matter was directly rted to the ¡®Special Space¡¯. ¡®Special Space¡¯ could bepared to a giant bulldozer. An expert needed to walk on a rough road with many obstacles to reach his goal and the job of this space was to tten the road and make it easier for the expert to walk on it. So what if it looked like a dishonest method if one could be stronger by using it. Ye Xiwen calcted the time and found out that it was almost time to exit the Huanmo territory. The one month time of assessment examination was going to end, and during this month, he couldn¡¯t calcte how many Huanmo he had killed, however, he didn¡¯t care about that because his biggest harvest this time was breaking through to the Xiantian second stage making it a worthwhile trip. Now, it was time to go and join the group of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. All these days, he was being very careful and stayed away from trouble. After all, he had enemies in Huanmo territory. Forget about Bingdao sub-school, even that Hu Yanghang had sent seven powerful masters after him, although they had beenpletely ughtered by him. Right now, it was obvious that after sending so many formidable masters, Hu Yanghang must be hoping that Ye Xiwen would be easily taken care of, but once he would receive the news that they had been defeated and thrown out of the Huanmo territory, he would definitely be very furious, after all, Ye Xiwen had singlehandedly crushed a team of seven top yers. If he again encountered those seven masters, he wouldn¡¯t need to struggle against them for so long. He would easily kill them all without breaking a sweat. Even after exiting, if they tried toe looking for trouble, he would certainly finish them off without thinking twice. Ye Xiwen finally decided to go into the direction of Qingfeng mountain group he had just located. Although Huanmo boundary was very big, but it was still smallpared to the Zhen Wu Jie world, and passing around messages was not difficult especially for martial artists. ¨C ¨C ¨C In a remote valley, the groups of Qingfeng mountain sub-school and Jade Lady sub-school were unexpectedly present together and thisbined group was being led by both Ye Feng and Zhangsun Yuyin. But, there was a group of people standing on their opposite side and confronting them. It was none other than the group of Bingdao sub-school, led by Shangguan Xuanyi. Beside him stood two youths, one dressed in purple robe and had an imposing appearance, and another was d in a yellow robe and had strangely prominent eyebrow bones. Unexpectedly, the strength of these two was almostparable to that of Shangguan Xuanyi. One could also see that the group of Divine Volcano sub-school and the disciples of many other sub-schools watching from afar. ¡°Junior sister apprentice Zhangsun Yuyin, surrender the magical sound flute.¡± Shangguan Xuanyi came forward and said in an overbearing tone. ¡°I and Brother Ye had to go through a lot of trouble to obtain this magical sound flute and you want me to surrender it?¡± Zhangsun Yuyin said in a cold voice. ¡°Let¡¯s stop this nonsense and snatch it directly from them.¡± That youth with prominent eyebrow bones said. ¡ª¡ª¨C Thursday: Sponsored Chapters 99 & 100 wille on Thursday.

The people of Bingdao sub-school as well as some other influential people behind him suddenly rushed towards the groups of Jadedy sub-school and Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. Among these disciples, there were many experts of Xiantian realm and although the disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and Jade Lady sub-school tried to resist, but the opposite party had many people and they possessed high-strength. Bingdao sub-school was a major sub-school like Jade Lady sub-school but it possessed greater strength inparison, not to mention, the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school were a lot weaker inparison to the disciples of these major sub-schools, with only 5 Xiantian masters including Qian Wanru and Wu Hao who had just broken through to the Xiantian realm. Both sides shed and a fierce battle started. Only after a moment, many disciples from Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and Jade Lady sub-school had been beheaded and turned into streamer and disappeared. Zhangsun Yuyin and Ye Feng rushed forward to battle with Shangguan Xuanyi, the purple-robed youth and that entric looking yellow-robed youth. If Ye Xiwen was here, he would be shocked to find out that in such a short time when he was away from the group of Qingfeng Mountain, Ye Feng had reached the peak of Xiantian third stage and was not a bit inferior to Shangguan Xuanyi and other top ranked masters. Moreover, all of them were strong masters so it was hard to guess what would be the end result of thisrge scale battle. Although Ye Feng and Zhangsun Yuyin were coborating but the three strong masters of the opposite party were tough and it was too hard for just the two of them to take them. Soon, the three masters had started to push Ye Feng and Zhangsun Yuyin in a disadvantageous situation. At this time, an anxious look appeared on the faces of the two and the reason was that they hade to realize that theirbined fighting strength was inferior to that of the three masters and they would most likely bepletely pressed down. They feared that soon, they would be defeated. Shangguan Xuanyi also wanted to defeat Ye Feng and Zhangsun Yuyin in the shortest possible time, and also save power, because he knew that Yan Chiling was nearby and waiting while covetously eying them, and would most likely also enter the fray once they were exhausted. They did not want Yan Chiling to take advantage of this conflict and the best solution to this problem was to beat Ye Feng and Zhangsun Yuyin as soon as possible in order to be well prepared when Yan Chiling would n to make his move. The trio had high aspirations for the magical sound flute. The battle among these five masters was a spectacr one as all of them were skilled and possessed powerful techniques. Their battle was so fierce that it was sending shock waves throughout the battlefield, and even ground was shaking, which seemed as if their fight was inducing earthquakes. Other disciples were also fighting fiercely but their battle strength was not at allparable to that of the five masters, in fact, even the shock waves produced from the intense battle of these five masters was life threatening for many disciples, particrly the disciples of Houtian realm. ¡°Damn, these disciples of Bingdao sub-school are really shameless!¡±Qian Wanru clenched her teeth and said in an angry voice. She was actually fighting a Xiantian disciple and being a new Xiantian master, she was having a hard time dealing with him, ¡°They actually joined forces with outsiders to bully us!¡± When Qian Wanru said outsiders, she actually meant the disciples who hade from influential ns and didn¡¯t belong to any of the sub-schools. They hade to join Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect directly from outside. With respect to the disciples of Main Sect, the various sub-schools were regarded as branch schools and they would nurture strong disciples to finally send them to join the Main Sect, and sopared to the disciplesing from the outer influential forces, the disciples of various sub-schools were treated as seeds, waiting to finally sprout in the Main Sect. But in general, over the years, during assessment examination, the disciples from the outer influential ns would form their own camp, different from the disciples of various sub-schools. Moreover, although various sub-schools were rivals, butpared with these outsiders, they wereparatively more intimate. That was the reason why Qian Wanru had said that Bingdao sub-school had joined forces with outsiders. However, at this time, regrets andints were useless. These disciples did not think that they would get a chance to be a part of an adventure, but in the end it turned into this, and after the news leaked out, it attracted countless people. ¡°Kill them all, these bastards have gone too far!¡± Wu Hao roared and after seeing that there were so many people on the opposite party, perhaps the disciples of these two sub-schools would have given up in the real world but it was a good thing that they were in the Huanmo territory and did not fear death. Therefore, they would go all out and fight to death but won¡¯t give up so easily. ¡°Right, let¡¯s kill these bastards who even joined forces with outsiders for their motives!¡± The other disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school roared in unison. The female disciples of Jade Lady sub-school also roared at this time. Although they were charming and iparably beautiful, but were still considered the outstanding disciples of their sub-school and even after arriving in the Main Sect, the disciples of other sub-schools had not dared to disrespect them. Suddenly, the morale of the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and Jade Lady sub-school had increased because they had finally realized that the worst case scenario in this situation was death and even if they died, they would be thrown outside the Huanmo territory and resurrect there. Anyway, they had already cleared the assessment examination and their main motive was to enter into a good vein and for that, they needed to disy their strengths and potential to the high-level personnel of Main Sect. So, even if a disciple disyed his talents in the beginning, but due to sudden strike of bad luck, he encountered an extremely powerful Huanmo and died, but there was still a chance for him to get selected by some high-level personnel. It could be said that one month¡¯s time allotted for the assessment examination was almost over and the exam could also be considered finished, so even if they died now, it won¡¯t make much difference. ¡°Since you want to die, then I¡¯ll give you what you want.¡± The entric yellow-robed youth said in a ferocious manner. Obviously, if he decided to massacre the disciples of both Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and Jade Lady sub-school, then who could stop him? The entric yellow-robed youth punched out towards Ye Feng. He was coborating with the purple-robed youth to besiege Ye Feng. When facing the attacks from two strong masters, he immediately fell into a disadvantageous position. Zhangsun Yuyin nced towards the desperately fighting figure of Ye Feng then clenched her teeth and said: ¡°If you want the magical sound flute then you will have to step from our corpses to take it!¡± The yellow-robed youthughed and said: ¡°Then die!¡± His terrifying Zhen Qi suddenly exploded and sent shock waves rippling through the air, which was quite terrifying. Ye Feng resisted against him, but he left an opening, and yellow-robed entric youth seized this opportunity to throw a lightning fast kick towards him. Then, suddenly, a terrifying deqi descended from the sky and rushed towards the purple-robed youth. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Chapter 100 in an hour or two!) Raised so far: $195 (650%) Queue cleared for sponsored Chapter 100 (100%) Chapter 100 – Beheaded in one blade strike Chapter 100 ¨C Beheaded in one de strike Then, suddenly, a terrifying deqi descended from the sky and rushed towards the purple-robed youth. That purple-robed youth panicked and hastily dodged and barely saved him body from getting chopped. He got furious and shouted: ¡°Who was that!¡± One could see a distant cyan figure appearing in the horizon carrying a long de in his hand. ¡°Little brother!¡± Seeing that cyan figure, Ye Feng was overjoyed and immediately shouted. Ye Xiwen slowly approached the battlefield. With a long de in his hand, Ye Xiwen lightly said: ¡°It¡¯s too early to celebrate your victory.¡± All of the people looked towards him. ¡°Just now, that deqi was released from so far? It seems that during this month, this Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength has progressed by leaps and bounds.¡± Standing at a distant ce, Yan Chiling thought while looking at Ye Xiwen. Although he was standing far from the battlefield but he immediately discovered that it was Ye Xiwen. Yan Chiling had just now witnessed the incredible might of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack, and he couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat startled in his heart. He certainly was aware of Ye Xiwen¡¯s existence but didn¡¯t know much about him. Although he had gathered information about the top disciples of strong sub-schools, after all, they might be his possible rivals, but why would he bother knowing about the top disciples of so many weak sub-schools. Earlier, Ye Xiwen had made a hugemotion and that had got Yan Chiling¡¯s attention only for a short time because he didn¡¯t consider Ye Xiwen as someone worth knowing about. Back then, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was almostparable to that of ordinary Xiantian third stage masters. With this level of strength, it was impossible for him to be ranked among the top yers who were generally at the peak of Xiantian third stage or above. Only by having this much strength, top yers like Yan Chiling would pay attention to masters of other sub-schools. Right now, he had no other choice but to pay attention to Ye Xiwen but still not to the point of fear. However, he had discovered that Ye Xiwen had recently made a breakthrough and his strength was no longer under the strength of peak Xiantian third stage. Originally, Ye Feng¡¯s sudden rise to the peak Xiantian third stage had surprised him but he never thought that his younger brother, Ye Xiwen, would also have a breakthrough in such a short period of one month. He had started to doubt the reputation of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school as one of the weakest sub-schools, because this time, it had actually presented two top masters to the Main Sect and this number was unexpectedly more than the three major sub-schools. He feared that the fame of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school was going to rise dramatically in the Main Sect! ¡°Who are you, how dare you sneak an attack on me!¡± The purple-robed youth shouted in an angry voice. ¡°Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, Ye Xiwen.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°You are courting death!¡± The purple-robed youth got even more furious and why would he not? He had been nearly chopped down to a violent death. He suddenly dashed towards Ye Xiwen and used his right leg to send a lightning fast kick, apanied with a twisting wind storm, directly at him. In a sh, Ye Xiwen waved his de and chopped out a sharp and terrifying deqi. ¡°Bang!¡± Two terrifying attacks severely collided against each other and sent violent shock waves in the air producing a sharp piercing sound. In an instant, their attacks hadpletely neutralized each other. The purple-robed youth never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually be so strong. ¡°It is not good, how is he so strong?¡± The purple-robed youth pondered that now, with the unexpected appearance of Ye Xiwen, both sides had got three pairs of strong masters and this was a bad sign for their n. Now that there were three pairs of masters, they won¡¯t be able to finish this fight in a short time as they nned, and Yan Chiling, who was currently watching from the distant ce, would definitely take advantage of this. The face of purple-robed youth sank and he shouted loudly: ¡°Birth of the fierce winds!¡± This was the secret kick-based Xiantian level power technique handed down in his family for generations. Relying on the might of this technique, his forefathers had brought fame to his family, which had gained a high reputation and influence in his hometown. ¡°Bang!¡± He shoved his powerful kick into Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and was thrown back several steps from the explosion. Just as he was about to attack again, he was surprised to see that his attack had done no damage to Ye Xiwen, who just stood there like an iron wall. Ye Xiwen sneered and said: ¡°You are only at this level?¡± The purple-robed youth¡¯splexion suddenly changed and he muttered: ¡°How is this possible?¡± He clearly knew the explosive strength present in his kick and that was the reason why he had been thrown back several steps but he was totally bewildered to find out that even after facing his kick¡¯s explosive strength at a point nk range, Ye Xiwen simply didn¡¯t move at all! How could he be so strong! Ye Xiwen sneered, because just now, he had tried to test the strength of the purple-robed youth and had finally determined that it was nothing. The purple-robed youth wanted to have an advantage of striking the first blow and without wasting time, his leg moved and swept strong winds towards Ye Xiwen. Full moon beheader! Ye Xiwen chopped out his de. The might of his de was truly exquisite and peerless and it released a terrifying deqi which swept towards the strong winds. Although he had not yet practiced ¡®Full moon beheader¡¯ to the ¡®Dacheng realm¡¯ and had also not fully evolved its creative concept, but it still possessed the true might of a Xiantian level move. However, none of his de moves were stronger than the move, Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss, but using it even once consumed a significant amount of Zhen Qi and he didn¡¯t want to use it unless it was necessary. ¡°Bang!¡± The terrifying deqi fiercely collided with the strong winds in the sky and wreaked havoc on the scene, and it seemed as if a tsunami had just swept past this area. Everyone was giving dumbfounded looks at this scene when suddenly, in an instant, the terrifying deqipletely scattered the fierce winds and went straight towards the purple-robed youth and chopped down. The purple-robed youth turned into streamer and disappeared from the Huanmo territory. ¡°Just one move!¡± Yan Chiling, spectating from a distant ce, saw this with his own eyes and was totally bewildered. He never thought that a strong master like the purple-robed youth would actually be beheaded in just one strike from Ye Xiwen¡¯s de. Ye Xiwen had fully disyed the true might of his de which could easily be considered very frightening, because just a single attack from his de had actually killed a top ranked Xiantian master. Yan Chiling asked himself that his own strength and the strength of that purple-robed youth was about the same and if he had been killed by Ye Xiwen in just one de strike then what would happen if he was to fight with Ye Xiwen! Everyone was shocked, because they thought that this battle was between two equally matched masters and would be a fierce one, but they never expected it to be so one-sided. They actually did not know that in thest one month, Ye Xiwen had been constantly fighting with Huanmo devils of Xiantian fourth stage, and had even severely wounded a Huanmo of Xiantian fourth stage. Even if Huanmo were small and weak creatures but a Xiantian fourth stage Huanmo was still powerful enough to give a tough time to the top yers. Even if his strength was not yetparable to the masters of Xiantian fourth stage but it could be said that his strength had far surpassed the strength of masters of peak Xiantian third stage making him one of the top yers. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Friday: Chapter 101 wille as a regr release along with some sponsored chapters (amount not decided yet).

Right now, he was strong enough to easily take down a master of peak Xiantian third stage and could also contend with masters of Xiantian fourth stage. By killing the purple-robed youth in a single de strike, he had instantly turned the wave of war. His sudden appearance had pushed the opposite party to a disadvantageous position. Ye Xiwen¡¯s mighty de had instantly killed a top ranked Xiantian master and this hadpletely frightened those onlookers who were waiting to take advantage from this battle after the two sides would mutually wound and kill each other. Even the leader of the opposite side, Shangguan Xuanyi, who was on the winning side a while ago, and had nned to finish this battle as soon as possible, had suddenly encountered an unforeseen obstacle to his n. But, their anxiousness was justified because Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was really unfathomable. He had killed a master of peak Xiantian third stage as if it was nothing. Even Yan Chiling was looking at him with a scared look in his eyes, let alone other people. They could still think of facing top ranked masters like Shangguan Xuanyi, Yan Chiling and others, but facing Ye Xiwen? They feared that they would be killed in just one de strike, without even getting a chance to fight back, which was really frightening! It was not that no one feared death even if they knew that they would resurrect outside. The scene of getting chopped down by Ye Xiwen¡¯s de was just too scary. ¡°Damn, Brother Ye is insanely strong!¡± Zhang Yang looked at Ye Xiwen¡¯s de and said, at the same time, Wu Hao and Qian Wanru also nodded with a look of gratitude and respect in their eyes. They could feel that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had increased abnormally in this one month¡¯s time and this was not the first time because every once in a while, his strength would rise dramatically. But, standing on one side, Ye Ruxue seemed calm, as in her mind, she already thought of her brother as a metamorphosis, so like always, she was calm as if this was something normal for her younger brother. Ye Xiwen sneered and walked towards that entric yellow-robed youth. The yellow-robed youth immediately tensed up because he had also witnessed the insane and mighty de attack of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Brother!¡± Ye Feng said in a pleasantly surprised voice. This time, he was in a very desperate situation in his fight with the yellow-robed youth, but he never thought that his younger brother would unexpectedly arrive in the nick of time and fully turn the flow of battle. Ye Xiwen nodded towards Ye Feng, but suddenly, that yellow-robed youth dashed towards Ye Xiwen, with a lightning fast speed and shot his palm. This attack was very amazing as the air in the surrounding had started to rupture under the sudden emergence of trembling Zhen Qi which quickly went towards Ye Xiwen. The palm shadows had filled the sky and it was obvious that this attack was meant to catch Ye Xiwen off guard, which was really cruel and ruthless. Ye Xiwen sneered but how could he not be prepared? He immediately shot his palm and unleashed Rushing thunder hand, discharging a rumbling thunder, and with a bang, a loud thunderp resounded throughout the sky. ¡°Bang!¡± Two palm attacks collided fiercely and the yellow-robed youth immediately staggered and almost fell down from the shock, but at this time, Shangguan Xuanyi instantly shot his ice-cold palm at Ye Xiwen, which froze the surrounding air. He clearly knew that among all the top masters present there, Ye Xiwen was biggest threat to his n, and as long as he could kill Ye Xiwen, he would still have an opportunity to restore the situation, otherwise, ultimately, he along with his n would bepletely obliterated at the hands of Ye Xiwen. Shangguan Xuanyi knew that he could not kill Ye Xiwen alone, so his only option was to team up with the yellow-robed youth and attack together. Ye Xiwen immediately sensed Shangguan Xuanyi¡®s palm attack and shot his palm once again, containing the terrifying might of ¡®pass like thunder move like the wind¡¯ which released a thunder-like Zhen Qi and fiercely collided with the ice-cold Zhen Qi. ¡°Bang!¡± Two groups of Zhen Qi collided and sted shock waves in all directions. Shangguan Xuanyi was thrown back several steps and secretlyined about the incredible strength of Ye Xiwen in his heart. But at this time, the yellow-robed youth rushed once again towards Ye Xiwen, although he was coborating with Shangguan Xuanyi but this was only a temporary cooperation as he had ulterior motives. However, right now, he could not attend to his motives because his top priority was to kill Ye Xiwen, otherwise, all of them would be killed instead. Ye Feng also wanted to go and help, but when he saw that Ye Xiwen was easily handling both of their attacks, as if he was just ying with them, then he decided not to interfere. When the duo had teamed up to attack, they had soon gotten used to timing their attacks and were disying a perfect team y expecting to push Ye Xiwen in a disadvantageous situation, but in a while, Ye Xiwen had easily adapted to theirbined assault. After ying around with them for a while, the next time they shot their attacks at him, he suddenly released a terrifying deqi and disyed the creative concept of Full moon beheader. ¡°Bang!¡± The creative concept turned into the picture of a bright moon descending from the clouds and directly collided with theirbined attack and crushed it, then it finally descended towards the two masters. They couldn¡¯t resist against the terrifying might of this attack and turned into streamers and vanished from the Huanmo territory. Without these two top masters out of the picture, the people of their team knew that it was over for them and immediately began to disperse. Although Bingdao sub-school was a major sub-school with a lot of Xiantian masters but so was Jade Lady sub-school and under the leadership of top masters like Ye Feng, Zhangsun Yuyin and Ye Xiwen, they would be quickly killed by the opposite party! And the crowd of spectating disciples waiting for an opportunity also started to leave in abundance and did not dare to stay for a long time. They knew very well that if the disciples of opposite party lost their temper and started to attack, then in the presence of these three top masters, especially Ye Xiwen, they would only meet an unexpected cmity. ¡°Third Brother, this time we were saved thanks to you.¡± Ye Feng said and walked towards Ye Xiwen with a smile on his face and somewhat sighing with emotion. If Ye Xiwen had not descended from the sky like an angel to save them, then they would really have met an awful end. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, but brother. . .¡± Ye Xiwen looked at Ye Feng and was surprised to find out that his brother had actually reached the peak of Xiantian third stage. But,st time, he was only at the peak of Xiantian first stage, which meant that in a period of one month, his cultivation had unexpectedly jumped two stages, this situation was too weird! This was truly bizarre! Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind couldn¡¯t grasp it at all. ¡°Brother, could it be that you, a Blood Yuan fruit. . .¡± An idea suddenly cropped up in Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind, because, only while having a breakthrough in the Xiantian second stage and consuming a Blood Yuan fruit, one could have a dramatic increase in cultivation and strength in a short time. However this was not right, as his elder brother was definitely not an unwise person. Everyone knew that after entering into the Xiantian realm, theter one would consume this precious Blood Yuan fruit, the better would be the effects. The best time to consume it was during having a breakthrough in Xiantian second stage or while breaking through from Xiantian eighth stage to Xiantian ninth stage, as theter one would consume this fruit, the bigger would be the benefits. That¡¯s how it was! ¨C ¨C ¨C Some IRL stuff came up so Grand release will get dyed to Sunday morning. Raised so far: $230 (766%) Thanks to Toby Hanson (UK), Yannis Mokry (Switzend), Shea Fincher (US) and ¨¦tienne B¨¦dard (Canada) for sponsoring theing Sponsored Chapters for which release deration will be madeter on Chapter 102 – Assessment ends Chapter 102 ¨C Assessment ends Even during the time when Ye Xiwen was in Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, he knew how precious a Blood Yuan fruit actually was for Xiantian masters. If it was not extremely valuable, then why would it attract the attention of so many people, although it was only valuable for the masters of Xiantian realm, but there were a million Xiantian masters in the Main Sect, and most of them were stuck at bottlenecks, so one could imagine the preciousness of Blood Yuan fruit in their eyes. From the moment he had obtained a Blood Yuan fruit, Ye Xiwen had decided that he would wait until the day he would have his breakthrough from the Xiantian eighth stage to Xiantian ninth stage, because at that time, having a breakthrough would be very difficult and it would take a lot of effort. He would also need treasures like Blood Yuan fruit to help him during the breakthrough. Many people could never reach the Xiantian seventh or eighth stage even after practicing throughout their lives. They would stay on Xiantian fifth stage for a lifetime because it was considered a big threshold. Those who could cross this threshold would be intermediate level personnel in Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect and the most ipetent ones would be send to be elders at the sub-schools, but those who could get past this threshold could only spend their lifetime as lower level staff. Even if Ye Feng had used the Blood Yuan fruit during his breakthrough from Xiantian fifth stage to sixth stage then it was worth it, but he used it at only the first stage which was such a pity. Later, Ye Xiwen heard from various disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and finally came to know the ins and outs of everything that had happened during his absence. After Ye Feng and the group of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school had separated from him, they met the group of Jade Lady sub-school and helped them in repelling a Huanmo raid. Afterwards, the two groups cooperated to attain their goal of searching and killing as many Huanmo devils as they could. While fighting and killing the Huanmo, they encountered a very formidable Huanmo of Xiantian fifth stage, which seemed to have high intelligence, and at that moment, it was next to a coffin. After the two groups discussed for a bit, they decided to fight and kill the Huanmo which was still mourning next to the coffin. After killing it, as expected, they obtained a magical sound flute, which was actually a spiritual tool, although it was only a low level spiritual tool, but after reaching the Xiantian stages above Xiantian fifth stage, the Xiantian Zhen Qi would transform into Xiantian Zhen Yuan, and then it would be possible to drive a spiritual tool to disy its infinite power, not to mention, using a magical sound flute, one could disy the rare spiritual sonic attack, making this flute even more precious. This was the reason when the news about the flute had leaked out, it had attracted Shangguan Xuanyi and others. Ye Xiwen looked at the dark-colored flute hanging on the waist of Zhangsun Yuyin and sighed then shook his head. How could he not understand that his brother liked Zhangsun Yuyin and was even willing to let go of a precious spiritual tool for that. Even though a spiritual tool could be used only after surpassing the Xiantian fifth stage but one should know that even among the core disciples of the Main Sect, only less than 10% of them had spiritual tools. This magical sound flute was unimaginably precious but Ye Feng didn¡¯t feel the slightest heartache from losing it. Ye Xiwen thought that this matter of Ye Feng consuming the Blood Yuan fruit so early was definitely rted to Zhangsun Yuyin. Ye Feng was at the peak of Xiantian first stage and even if he had a breakthrough, he could only reach the Xiantian second stage, but Zhangsun Yuyin was already at the peak of Xiantian third stage. So, this might be the reason why Ye Feng had decided to consume the Blood Yuan fruit, because now, like Zhangsun Yuyin, he was also at the peak of Xiantian third stage, and thanks to the benefits of Blood Yuan fruit, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he would again have a breakthrough to the Xiantian fourth stage and then, he could proudly be alongside Zhangsun Yuyin. Regarding this matter, the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school were also well aware of, so they were notmenting about why the magical sound flute was with Zhangsun Yuyin. Ye Xiwen sighed and also didn¡¯t say anything. He certainly didn¡¯t have any opinion because marriage, giving birth and so on, even if the warriors tried their best to avoid these, they couldn¡¯t, as this was a type of instinct that continued the life. Although it was said that the goal of a master should be to continue practicing and get rid of the worldly desires, gain immortality, but it was all just a legend. In this world, there were many heroes and no one knew who would die, who would be invincible! However that was something in the future, and who knew what would happen afterwards, moreover, no one knew about Zhangsun Yuyin¡¯s feelings. But it was easy to ascertain the feelings of Zhangsun Yuyin as Ye Feng¡¯s attitude towards her was very obvious and was clearly indicating that he liked her but there she was showing no signs of dislike and it seemed like it was possible that they would get together very soon. Ye Xiwen was also trying to learn some of the tricks used by his big brother, after all, in his past life, he had seen various cultures and prosperous civilizations, and there were a variety of special tricks used by the guys to impress girls, and he had learnt some of them back then, after all, they could be useful anytime. In Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind, a myriad of thoughts were constantly welling up, but he did not disy any expression on his face and nced at the crowd of Qingfeng mountain sub-school. This time, they had faced serious losses with ten dead, but the remaining people had be strongerpared to thest time he had seen them. Many of them were on the border of having a breakthrough and then they would enter into the Xiantian realm. The strongest expert besides Ye Feng was Zhang Yang who had already transformed 30% Xiantian Zhen Qi and had achieved the Xiantian sed stage, and had also consolidated his state with a very steady breath. Once he would transform 40% Xiantian Zhen Qi, he would be able to reach the peak of Xiantian second stage. Wu Hao and Qian Wanru had actually reached the Xiantian first stage, by transforming 10% Xiantian Zhen Qi. Ye Ruxue had also shown a great progress as she had steadily transformed 20% Xiantian Zhen Qi and had reached the peak of Xiantian first stage. During this month, everyone had shown great progress. Ye Xiwen nodded as he knew that only by colliding with talented and strong evildoers, one could have rapid and unceasing advancement in strength. If they were still at the Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, they wouldn¡¯t have shown this kind of fast progress, because only in the presence of strong peers, one wouldn¡¯t ck off and would always strive to get stronger. But anyways, the assessment had finally ended and it was time for the allocation of disciples in various peaks! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 103 – Enters into the Tongtian peak Chapter 103 ¨C Enters into the Tongtian peak Inside the pce hall of Tongtian peak, two figures could be seen walking side by side. They were Yan Chiling and Ye Xiwen. ¡°Brother Ye¡¯s de technique is really amazing. I am afraid, very few among the disciples would be able to disy this kind of superb de skill.¡± Yan Chiling said. ¡°There are a lot of talented individuals among the disciples and many of them know de techniques.¡± Ye Xiwen lightly replied. ¡°Brother Ye is being modest. When ites to strength, there are many strong masters among the disciples, and maybe more powerful than us, but when your de skillse into picture, I have not seen anyone disying the creative concept of a de technique, like you did back then. Even among the inner disciples of the Main Sect, very few can achieve such a feat.¡± Yan Chiling said with a smile. It was not that Yan Chiling was intending to curry favor from Ye Xiwen, but three days ago, that disy of the creative concept of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de technique was truly unforgettable and had thoroughly imprinted on the minds of everyone who witnessed it, including Yan Chiling. Three days had passed after thepletion of the assessment examination. Everyone had entered into one peak or the other, but they never thought that they would get a chance to witness a strange scene where a group of old men was chasing Ye Xiwen to grab him and monopolize him for their respective peaks. Ye Xiwen also thought that Yi Yuan School was so big, and almost every year, many talented individuals would emerge from here. Every three years, it held an assessment examination and had continued to do so for god knows how many years, in which, numerous geniuses had emerged, but a strange scene like this, where a group of old people were rushing to grab a disciple had never happened before. Just what kind of multi-talented evildoer was he? In this world, there were no devices or tests to check who was more talented than the other. It was all decided by the disy of strength and even if there was such a thing to test one¡¯s talent, Ye Xiwen never considered himself as the most outstanding one, so why would these old men chase after him. Of course, high-level attention was inevitable, as to which high-level personnel¡¯s attention he had attracted, he did not know. The next day, he got the news that he had been assigned to the Tongtian peak, which was considered as one of the top ten prominent peaks of Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect, and it was definitely not one of the bottom ones among the ten. And among those who had entered into the Tongtian peak, he knew only a few, and Yan Chiling was one of them. Ye Feng, Zhang Yang and Wu Hao had entered into the Full moon peak. Zhangsun Yuyin, Ye Ruxue and Qian Wanru had entered into the Jade Lady peak. Basically, they had been allocated to different peaks, of course, Full moon peak was the best among them, but it was never guaranteed that as long as one possessed great strength, he would be assigned to the best peak. The allocation was done keeping in mind the bnced development of all the top ten peaks. If they only wanted to strengthen the Full moon peak then why would they even need to have the other nine peaks? Although there was still a gap between the strengths of the peaks, but that was the reason why this type of allocation system was followed to maintain the overall bnce of power. After getting assigned to the Tongtian peak, Ye Xiwen saw many unfamiliar faces but among them, Yan Chiling was a rtively familiar person and had quickly got acquainted with him. As far as the disciples from other sub-schools were concerned, they would gradually get to know each other ande together. In addition to the two of them, there were more than two hundred disciples assigned to the Tongtian peak. As Yan Chiling was one of the top masters, soon, all of these new disciples had gathered to his side. Before entering into the Main Sect, the new disciples were not allowed to form factions, but that was not the case after entering into the Main Sect. Now, they could form factions because if they didn¡¯t, then they would most likely be bullied by the senior disciples. Unlike the sub-schools, in the Main Sect, new disciples of would generally form factions as when they were in their respective sub-schools, they didn¡¯t need to form factions because they would have to enter the Main Sect someday, but after entering into the Main Sect, things would change. The disciples would form factions, and yearster, when these disciples would be true disciples, they would still have these factions. In the Yi Yuan School, there were many well-known factions, led by hundreds of true disciples, and excluding some true disciples who preferred to stay alone, almost all of the true disciples had their own factions with a powerful figure as the faction leader. The current triennial assessment examination was a good opportunity to pull the cronies into the faction, as for the factions formed by the true disciples, they would only ept core disciples as the members and unless there was an extremely talented individual among the new disciples who had managed to impress them, it was highly unlikely for the new disciples to enter into those high-level factions. Generally, these factions created by the new disciples were headed by star disciples like Ye Xiwen and Yan Chiling, but Ye Xiwen was not interested in forming a faction. Those true disciples would form factions and managed them themselves, but he was not at all interested in leading or managing other new disciples, so forming a faction was out of question. Other new disciples of the Tongtian peak had sensed that Ye Xiwen was not interested in making a faction so they had flocked around Yan Chiling. In addition to Yan Chiling and more than two hundred disciples, among the new disciples, there was yet another groupposed of foreign disciples, led by the yellow-robed disciple who had been beheaded by Ye Xiwen in the Huanmo territory. During these days, Ye Xiwen found out that his name was Huang Yilin, an outstanding disciple from Huang Yue Sect. It was considered a big n, although it was notparable to Yi Yuan School, but was still a tyrannical force. As they said, it was easy to survive in a group! ¡°Now the two of us have entered into the Tongtian peak,ter we may enter the same sect, so I would like Brother Ye to advise me.¡± Yan Chiling said, although Ye Xiwen was younger than him, but in this world, strong people wouldmand respect, and Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was above him. ¡°That is, if in the future, we enter the same sect, then I would also expect mutual support.¡± Ye Xiwen said with a smile because he didn¡¯t want to openly show his indifference as it would only invite new enemies. ¡°Right now, Brother Yan has be the leader of a lot of new disciples, which is quite amazing, when the timees, I would expect a lot of help from you.¡± Ye Xiwen said with some ridicule for Yan Chiling, as he had a favorable impression for the guy, although he was somewhat sophisticated and shrewd, but in general, he was a fairly open and candid guy. Yan Chiling wryly smiled and said: ¡°It looks okay for now, but in few days, the faction of those senior disciples woulde into action then things will start to get difficult for us. Brother Ye, to be honest with you, yesterday two factions of true disciples came looking for me. I just hope I can join them. ¡° ¡°True disciples?¡± Ye Xiwen said in a startled manner. ¡°Well!¡± Yan Chiling nodded and a wry smile appeared on his face. These high level factions didn¡¯t care about average new disciples, but Yan Chiling was definitely not an average individual, even if he was not as good as Ye Xiwen but he was powerful enough to impress the high level factions. Ye Xiwen was silent for a moment. If the factions of those true disciples were trying to recruit new disciples, then it wouldn¡¯t be good to refuse them! ¡°If I am not wrong, they will soone to ask you, do you want to join their faction as well?¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 104 – Senior disciples are big bullies Chapter 104 ¨C Senior disciples are big bullies ¡°If I am not wrong, they will soone to ask you, do you want to join their faction as well?¡± Yan Chiling asked. When Ye Xiwen was not interested in forming or joining an ordinary faction, then why would he want to join the faction of a true disciple? But, he won¡¯t be able to refuse if theye to invite him, because if he did, it would only represent the beginning of a big trouble. If the faction belonged to an open-minded true disciple then it was okay to refuse them, but if it belonged to some arrogant true disciple then after getting rejected, he was bound to retaliate! Seeing the silent appearance of Ye Xiwen, Yan Chiling couldn¡¯t help but smiled bitterly. Bing the faction leader was definitely not good. Although he would have the support of many new disciples but their faction would still not be very durable. Sooner orter, other factions would send their people to snatch new disciples for their factions and if they didn¡¯t agree, they would face the coborated suppression from the major factions. These neers were considered outstanding disciples of their respective sub-schools, however, after entering into the Main Sect, their strength could only be considered mediocre. Among the two hundred new disciples, only twenty or so were truly worthy of being called strong and were the masters of Xiantian realm, and the remaining more than one hundred and eighty were just outer disciples, who were still in the Houtian realm and their status was only a little better than the status of the handyman disciples. In the past, some outstanding new disciples had tried to form their own factions and had contended against the factions of the senior disciples, but soon, their newly formed faction had been disbanded under the coborated suppression of the senior factions. Ye Xiwen sighed as deep in his heart, he didn¡¯t want to join factions, because once joined, he would be urged to have human contacts and that wouldpletely ruin his concentration, which would ultimately decrease the pace of his cultivation growth. There was a lot ofpetition in the Main Sect and he didn¡¯t want to waste time on all this. He silently returned to his freshmen small courtyard. All of the new disciples had received these courtyards where they could live and practice. If it was a top core disciple of the Main Sect, he would have an independent pce on the mountain, and true disciples had their own personal mountain peaks. People of different strengths received different treatment based on their status and positions. Ye Xiwen entered his courtyard, although inner disciples could only have small independent courtyards, but these courtyards were quite exquisite, with pavilions, rock garden with running water, just like a botanical garden. In the entire courtyard, small sections of spiritual arteries were buried underground which would inducerge amount of divine Lingqi in entire courtyard, and looking from afar, one could see ¡®Xian qi¡¯ in abundance, making the courtyard look like the dwelling ce of immortals. A variety of ¡®Zhen methods¡¯ to attract the divine Lingqi, defensive Zhen methods, Zhen method to concentrate Shenjing Qi and so on were carved on the ground, but the core method to activate these Zhen methods was known only to the owner of the courtyard. (NT: Shenjing: divine calm) ¡°No wonder everyone wants to enter into the Main Sect. This practice environment is a hundred times betterpared with that of the sub-schools!¡± Ye Xiwen sighed and said. The talented disciplesing from these sub-schools would get various resources and after practicing in this kind of favorable practice environment of Main Sect, they would be able to rapidly grow strongerpared to when they were in the sub-schools, because here, they would have rapid advancements and quicker breakthroughs . Even the outer disciples had been provided with one room per person and these rooms also had various Zhen methods prepared inside, although the rooms were small, but fully equipped. This time he went to the Gongde Pce hall of Tongtian peak to receive his rewards, and for disying outstanding performance in the assessment examination, he got a total of 5000 spirit stones from the Tongtian peak, which allowed his total stock of spirit stones to reach a total of 7000 spirit stones. (NT: Gongde: merits and achievements) All the policies of the sect were generally inclined in favor of the talented disciples and it was made sure that the talented disciples would receive the best resources and in greater amounts. In addition to the spirit stones, he also got a variety of medicinal pills, some for healing, some for supplementing Zhen Qi, etc, but Ye Xiwen was very much happy to receive a ¡®Xuan Jindan¡¯. Its efficacy and effects were simr to that of the Blood Yuan fruit, however, it was still notparable to a Blood Yuan fruit because it only gave short term effects and though it could help during the breakthrough but its utility was limited for only the masters of Xiantian fifth stage or below. In addition to Ye Xiwen, only Yan Chiling got a Xuan Jindan for his outstanding performance, but Ye Xiwen believed that the Sect¡¯s inclination towards giving top resources to only the outstanding disciples would only work towards increasing the gap between geniuses and ordinary people. In addition to these, there were some clothes,pletely made of ice cicada silk, warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, the defense offered by these clothes was very strong, and could give good protection from weapons. These clothes were simr to the cicada silk armor of Ye Xiwen, but here in the Yi Yuan School, they were present in abundance. Besides these, there were all sorts of equipments which clearly demonstrated the excessive wealth of Yi Yuan School. One could say that joining the Main Sect did not represent the end, but an entirely new beginning. Ye Xiwen was about to start closed-door training when suddenly, from outside his courtyard, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps and then a voice reached his ears: ¡°Brother Ye, Brother Ye!¡± ¡°Come in!¡± Ye Xiwen released the defensive Zhen method, as he was the owner of the courtyard and only he had the authority to unlock the defensive method, otherwise no one would be able to enter. Even the intruders would have to attack with a Zhen method to barge in. Right then, a disciple, who appeared to be in his twenties, ran into the room and looked at Ye Xiwen with an anxious look on his face. ¡°What happened?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. This disciple was one of the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, and was the only disciple from Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, other than Ye Xiwen, who had also been assigned to the Tongtian peak. ¡°Those senior disciples go too far! They have joined up to suppress us.¡± The disciple said, ¡°For thest few days, those senior factions have been sending people to pull people from among us, but our fellow brothers and sisters have decided to join the faction led by Brother Yan, so they began to force us, and said that we need to surrender our monthly sry aspensation to them, and if not paid, then they would start to bully us every day.¡± Ye Xiwen frowned, so these senior disciples had truly gone too far, but it was still understandable, as the new disciples were often the source of new members for these factions and they had to wait three years for the assessment examination to recruit members, but now that these new disciples wanted to create a separate faction, then of course, they would coborate together to suppress the new faction. Even if the new disciples didn¡¯t disband their new faction and decided to surrender their monthly sry aspensation, then their practice speed would inevitably be adversely affected. This was really a ruthless tactic! Chapter 105 – Either disband or die Chapter 105 ¨C Either disband or die For those senior disciples, this was none other than trying to get more members for their faction, by hook or by crook. But as far as these new disciples were concerned, this was a matter of life and death. These new disciples were considered the outstanding top disciples in their respective sub-schools, and aftering to the Main Sect and training in this new favorable environment, it was only a matter of time when they would be able to catch up with those senior disciples in terms of cultivation level and strength. So no one was willing to join someone else¡¯s faction and be the bottom members, just to be ordered around by them. So when Yan Chiling, a top disciple among them, wanted to draw them in and form a faction, they would naturally be willing to do so. ¡°Now they have blocked the gate, forcefully asking us to surrender the monthlypensation, which is simply going too far.¡± The disciple said and clenched his teeth. Basically, the senior disciples were forcing them to either disband their new faction, or they would be crushed forcefully. No matter which option they chose, it was not going to produce a good result. In the hearts of these new disciples, Yan Chiling had already taken ce as the leader of their faction, and naturally, Ye Xiwen was already the core of their confidence, although Ye Xiwen had not publicly pulled anyone into the faction, but everyone knew about his incredible strength, and also knew that he would definitely back them up if something happened. Ye Xiwen said: ¡°I will go and take a look.¡± He was also rted to this matter, after all, he was also one of the disciples who had been charged with paying a monthlypensation and how could he just sit back and let them take his hard earned monthly sry, which was also the source of his quick progress. Sooner orter, he would have to get involved so why shouldn¡¯t he get involved now itself! ¡°If Brother Ye is going toe in action then there certainly won¡¯t be any problem.¡± The disciple said in an overjoyed tone, but he originally knew that Ye Xiwen would definitely lend a helping hand to them, after all, before, he had always shown a righteous nature and that disciple was well aware of that. Also, he knew that Ye Xiwen was not interested in forming or joining a faction, so if he got to know that senior disciples were trying to forcefully recruit members then he would naturally react. Ye Xiwen followed the disciple out of his own small courtyard. Only the new disciples, who had arrived this year, lived in the freshmen courtyard, and although the inner disciples controlled the courtyard but the outer disciples also lived in the same courtyard. There was no separation between the housing of inner and outer disciples, and the new disciples had no choice, because only after bing core disciples, they would be able to choose a ce to live. Until then, all of them would have to live together in the same courtyard. Aftering out of the courtyard, he saw the crowd of many new disciples concentrated at the intersection, and they were being led by Yan Chiling. At this time, Yan Chiling had an unsightlyplexion, because ten senior disciples were blocking the intersection. There were indifferent looks on the faces of these senior disciples while they were looking at the new disciples, and their leader was a ck-robed youth who looked approximately twenty-five-year-old. He stepped forward and said: ¡°I won¡¯t waste any time on nonsense, I give you two options, first, each of you hand over your monthly sry aspensation, second, disband your faction!¡± The words of this senior disciple aroused the anger of the new disciples, after all, this was no different than cornering all of them. ¡°We know that you are doing this just to corner all of us!¡± A new disciple said angrily. ¡°We can let you off and it¡¯s very simple, as long as you dissolve this shitty faction of yours and join our Fudi faction then we will take you in and you can also save your monthly sry.¡± The ck-robed youth sneered and said, ¡°I¡¯m quite looking forward to take a look at thepensation. I heard that a lot of geniuses have entered into the Main Sect this year, so all of them must have got rich rewards, ah, I can¡¯t wait to see.¡± (NT: Fudi: to prostrate) The faces of many new disciples immediately suffused with anger. They were the elite core disciples of their respective sub-schools but right now, they were being bullied. On the way, Ye Xiwen heard from the disciple that the faction who hade to bully them was named Fudi faction and had been started by a core disciple. There were more than one hundred members in this faction and all of them were Xiantian masters, however, this faction was considered as moderately strongpared to the factions started by the core disciples. ¡°I advise you to disband your faction as soon as possible. I have seen many cocky new disciples in the past, trying to form their own faction, they too were unyielding in the beginning, but in the end, they also had to submit. The new outer disciples are more sensible than you lot, as they have already disbanded their faction and joined our faction.¡± The ck-robed youth indifferently said. ¡°You are going too far with the bullying.¡± Yan Chiling said in a calm and collected manner. ¡°So what if we are going too far.¡± The ck-robed youth sneered again and again then said, ¡°It seems that you people only understand thenguage of fists.¡± ¡°I heard that you are a top disciple among this year¡¯s new disciples and that¡¯s why they have decided to make you the leader. I¡¯d like to see what you got!¡± The ck-robed youth sneered, then suddenly, a w congealed around his palm and in a sh, with a loud boom, it rushed to grab the skull of Yan Chiling. ¡°Shameless!¡± Yan Chiling shouted loudly, and his aurapletely broke out, and then an endless amount of ming red Zhen Qi wrapped around his arm, like fire in general, and he instantly sted a punch towards the iing w. ¡°Boom!¡± Both w and fist fiercely collided and an endless amount of Zhen Qi spread in the surrounding, sending out terrifying whirlwind in all directions. Both of them took a step back, because unexpectedly, they had almost equal strengths. The ck-robed youth¡¯splexion suddenly changed. He did not think that Yan Chiling¡¯s strength would actually be this fierce, although he had heard that a lot of genius disciples had arrived at the Main Sect this year, but he did not care, after all, he had joined the Main Sect nine years ago, and was ten years ahead of Yan Chiling, however, he had miscalcted because at their age, ten years were not enough to decide pretty much anything, but still, he had practiced for more than a decade longer than Yan Chiling and still couldn¡¯t suppress him? This had brought a hint of jealousy in his eyes which quickly turned into a killing intent, caused by the envy. How could this guy have so much talent? Yan Chiling had not even started to practice inside the Main Sect and could still contend with him. In order to achieve his present strength, ck-robed youth had spent a whole decade as the outer disciple, and now, he had finally reached the peak of Xiantian third stage, while not at the top, but he could at least y the role of a bully to forcefully recruit members. But what just happened! With a look of envy in his eyes, the ck-robed disciple once again stormed towards Yan Chiling. Yan Chiling also sneered and rushed forward to face his attack. As the two sides were fiercely fighting, violent explosion sounds continued to spread. Their punches were casing air explosions and as their fight grew more intense, the new disciples had to go back several steps and they did not even dare to stay near this menacing battle. Both of them loathed each other so one could see the seriousness of their fight. Although the strength of Yan Chiling was essentially stronger, but the ck-robed youth had more battle experience, thus he could kill Yan Chiling if caught off guard, but Yan Chiling was also getting familiar with the attack patterns of the ck-robed youth, so defeating him was only a matter of time. But, at this time, the other nine senior disciples noticed the problem that the ck-robed disciple was facing. Their eyesight was far developedpared to these new disciples as it was something that one would gain with time and experience. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 106 – Set up their own faction Chapter 106 ¨C Set up their own faction But, at this time, the other nine senior disciples noticed the problem that the ck-robed disciple was facing. Their eyesight was far developedpared to these new disciples as it was something that one would gain with time and experience. At this time, these senior disciples immediately rushed forward in order to assist the ck-robed youth, when all of sudden, a terrifying deqi instantly descended from the sky and chopped down in front of them. This terrifying deqi instantly split out a huge rift in the ground, extending several meters. ¡°Could it be that you senior disciples can only bully others based on your numerical advantage?¡± Ye Xiwen said in a cold voice while pointing his long de towards them. Among those nine disciples, there were many at the peak of Xiantian third stage and weren¡¯t one bit weaker than the ck-robed youth, but at this time, all of them were covered in cold sweat. If they had been a little faster a moment ago, that de attack would have really beheaded all of them, and just thinking about it, they had beenpletely stunned. Even they had to admit, if they had not been attentive, they would definitely have been split in half. Just from the fierceness and might present in that de attack, they had realized that this de-wielding boy would absolutely not show them any mercy the next time. Although they had heard that a lot of talented disciples had joined the Main Sect this year, but they didn¡¯t expect to see so many formidable Xiantian masters. During the former years, if a new disciple who had entered into the Xiantian realm, then he was considered an extremely outstanding disciple, however this year, there were just way too many new disciples who had already entered into the Xiantian realm. In the past, they could easily bully those new disciples and would force them to join their faction, but among this year¡¯s new disciples, there were some very thorny existences like Yan Chiling and this boy wielding a long de. They never thought that these new disciples would prove to be so hard to deal with. When they had been sent by the Fudi faction topletely suppress these new disciples, they never expected such an oue, however, right now, they were entirely sure that if they dared to take even a step further, that de wielding boy wouldn¡¯t hesitate to behead them right there right then, and if they tried to tell about this matter to the high level members of their faction, then they would definitely die in vain. The sudden appearance of Ye Xiwen hadpletely cornered them. They hade to bully the weak, and their n had failed and if they go to tell the elders about this incident then they would only end up as aughingstock. The new disciples were looking at Ye Xiwen with a look of worship in their eyes, of course, they admired Yan Chiling for fighting against a senior disciple on equal terms, but they simply worshipped Ye Xiwen, as he had used just one de attack, and nine senior disciples hadpletely paused and were scared to take a single step forward or backward. They had repressed the feelings of hatred after being oppressed by these top disciples for all these days but these feelings had finally been vented out thanks to Ye Xiwen. With the unexpected appearance of Ye Xiwen, after a while, the ck-robed youth was unable to cope up with the suppressive attacks of Yan Chiling, and continued to dodge one attack after the other, but after a while, Yan Chiling found an opening and managed to hit a punch on his body. The ck-robed youth was sent flying after receiving that punch from Yan Chiling and heavily fell on the ground then fell unconscious. ¡°Take him and get lost, next time, I won¡¯t show any mercy!¡± Yan Chiling gasped and said. The senior disciples did not stay. It would be ridiculous if they stayed there, especially when Ye Xiwen was eyeing them like a Killing God. They would never dare to stay there for a long time. ¡°Brother Ye, this time we were saved thanks to your help.¡± Yan Chiling looked at those departing senior disciples and couldn¡¯t help but said with a smile on his face. ¡°It was nothing.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°Brother Yan, I think that we should form a faction.¡± Ye Xiwen still didn¡¯t want to be part of a faction but he preferred to be a part of one than being chased down by others. After all, it was somewhat troublesome, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to run away for too long. And even if he was careful and tried to avoid joining any faction but these people knew where he lived so rather than joining a faction, it was better for him to form one! ¡°Brother Ye, you mean?¡± Yan Chiling said in a delighted tone, although originally, their faction was just in the prototype stage and he could be considered a strong leader who could run a faction, but if Ye Xiwen was willing to join them then things would be entirely different, because Ye Xiwen¡¯s addition to their faction had suddenly increased their strength by many times and had greatly improved the appeal as well. ¡°I am just enrolling, I won¡¯t manage the matters inside the faction.¡± Ye Xiwen said that as he didn¡¯t want to divert his concentration from practicing to anything else, and even if he had made this decision, but he still wanted to enjoy his unrestrainedplete freedom. ¡°No problem!¡± Yan Chiling excitedly said. With the addition of Ye Xiwen to the faction, the appeal would immediately increase, and the most important thing was that Ye Xiwen did not want to get involved in the management, so the power would be in his hands, so this was a double benefit for him. ¡°Everybody, please pay attention to what I am going to say. I once again announce that I, together with Brother Ye, am nning to jointly form a faction and any of the new disciples can join us!¡± Yan Chiling said in a loud voice. Earlier, the faction was just in name but after this announcement and with the addition of Ye Xiwen to the faction, it was finally going to officially form. Some of the new disciples hesitated, because before they were sticking close to Yan Chiling as they knew that survival was very difficult in the Main Sect and only by sticking together, one could stay away from unforeseen danger. As Yan Chiling was a top disciple who had leader like characteristics so they had decided to stick with him until things would settle down, then they would walk away anytime, but after they would join the faction, they would be unable to walk away as it would be equivalent to betraying the faction and it was absolutely not allowed. In any faction, members were not allowed to leave, unless and until they were strong enough to do so. ¡°I will join!¡±A new disciple raised his hand and said, ¡°I have had enough of these senior disciples bullying us. I don¡¯t want to be bullied anymore and getting together is the only way out!¡± ¡°Right, I will also join!¡± ¡°I will join as well! If those senior disciples can create factions then we would form our own!¡± ¡°You are right, if they can do it then so can we, after all, we were once the outstanding disciples of our sub-schools and there¡¯s nothing we can¡¯t achieve!¡± A disciple said. The other new disciples were also stimted by this sudden series of approvals and arge number of new disciples came forward to form the faction. In the past, one more faction had been formed by the new disciples, whichter became one of the super factions, and its might stretched across the ten prominent peaks. The leader of this faction was a true disciple and was also one of the strongest individuals in the Yi Yuan School. ¡°Good, since everybody is willing to join the faction then our faction has now been officially established, but we must give it a name! Does anyone know a good name for the faction?¡± Yan Chiling asked. Many disciples rushed to say several names, but these names couldn¡¯t satisfy the crowd. Finally, a disciple suggested the name Qian Yu faction, and it got the consent of most of the disciples and hence was made the official name of the faction. Many of the disciples were somewhat excited, because from now on, they would be known as the members of the Qian Yu faction, and no one could guess how big their faction would grow in the future. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 107 – Towards the deepest parts of Sect Chapter 107 ¨C Towards the deepest parts of Sect After the creation of Qian Yu faction, Ye Xiwen did not participate in the faction matters and left all management works to Yan Chiling, who was obviously handling these matters with ease, as managing was a familiar task for him, as he had gained experience as the strongest disciple of the Divine Volcano sub-school. Ye Xiwen returned to his own small courtyard, and about this aspect, he and Yan Chiling had a tacit understanding, whether these factions would thrive or fail relied on the managing qualities of its leader, and so long as the leader was formidable and had outstanding leading qualities then even with two or three members, the faction could be very formidable, but if the leader was not strong enough, then the faction was bound to disband. At this time, Yan Chiling and Ye Xiwen were the only formidable members of Qian Yu faction but they were strong enough to hoist the g of their faction in front of everyone. Ye Xiwen realized that perhaps, things won¡¯t stay so calm in the future, but since he had already decided to join a faction then he would need to be a lot stronger to back it up. Ye Xiwen had no alternatives, and he didn¡¯t have any escape routes as well, as he was already aware of the arrogant attitude of those other factions who would never allow the growth of a faction created by new disciples, and would use any good opportunity to crush them along with their faction! So whether it was to protect oneself or to safeguard the future, he must strive now and prepare himself. Moreover, in his heart, a feeling ofparison had alsoe into being that if some people had already done it before then there was no reason why he won¡¯t achieve it. At present, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had increased considerablypared to his strength one month ago when he had just entered into the Xiantian second stage. As he had transformed 60% Xiantian Zhen Qi, his fighting strength wasparable to or even more than that of the peak Xiantian third stage master, and now, it was time for him to have a breakthrough. After having a breakthrough and reaching the Xiantian third stage, he would be able to easily beat a master of Xiantian fourth stage. After making up his mind, Ye Xiwen left his small courtyard and immediately went into the direction of Gongde Pce hall. Tongtian peak¡¯s Gongde Pce hall looked more luxurious and borate and was also the role model for the Gongde Pce halls of other sub-schools. Therefore, Ye Xiwen did not actually find it strange after entering the Gongde Pce hall. After entering the hall, first, he turned in 1000 spirit stones and converted them into 1000 points. Now his total stock of spirit stones had decreased to a total of 6000 spirit stones, but he was not sad, because he knew that there were a lot of things that spirit stones couldn¡¯t buy, and it was necessary to exchange them for school points, but this fact could be considered as a part of the hidden benefits offered at the Main Sect. Ye Xiwen immediately redeemed the 1000 points for a red-crowned crane that would be his flying mount for traveling. This red-crowned crane was one of the demon birds used by people as mounts and were raised in the Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect. Because of their gentle nature, good control and rtionship with the rider, they had be the preferred means of transport for many disciples, and thanks to the blood of demon beasts running through their veins, these cranes could fly for thousands of miles without taking rest. However these demon birds were naturally not cheap, and besides Ye Xiwen, only filthy rich inner disciples could afford a red-crowned crane, and this number was not more than 200 to 300 people out of several thousand inner disciples. Ye Xiwen had chosen a tall crane standing up to more than two meters tall and it was an extremely good means for flying through the air. After Ye Xiwen activated the control method for the red-crowned crane and used the password, it blinked once, and jumped high in the sky, and aftering to a stop, it opened its huge wings, and flew at a lightning speed towards the depths of the Yi Yuan School. Using the control method, he could directly use his thoughts tomunicate with the crane and that¡¯s how he was manipting the speed and direction of the flight! Yi Yuan School was stacked with many mountain ranges and spreading across each other and even if he was so high from the ground, he could still hear the roars of countless demon beasts present on those mountains. And as he was flying towards the deeper parts of the Yi Yuan School, these roars were growing even louder. It was said that Yi Yuan School had captured and raised many demon beasts in this mountain forest spread in several square kilometers of area,pared to which, the mountain forest of Qingfeng Mountain was nothing. In the Main Sect, these demon beasts, devils and other unusual creatures were housed together to be used by the disciples for practicing. The red-crowned crane¡¯s flying speed was extremely fast, and he could feel its lightning fast speed, because only after flying for about half an hour, they had crossed the entire mountain range. This had made him very certain that buying a crane was certainly not a bad idea, and by paying 1000 points, he had saved a lot of time that he would have wasted by walking for several days to cover the same distance. The crane descended on a tnd, and after Ye Xiwen jumped off from its back, it again pped its wings and flew high into the sky, waiting for the next summon from him. Ye Xiwen was surprised to actually hear the continuous roars of demon beasts one after the other in the entire mountain forest, and these roars were hoarse, sharp, low and deep, which could cause goose bumps to anyone who heard them. asionally, he would also see some disciples atop their demon birds flying in the sky. Ye Xiwen knew that time was running out and he must break through as soon as possible, in order to face the challengester. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t hesitate anymore, and with a burst of Zhen Qi under his feet, his body dashed towards the forest like a shell, and directly entered the forest. Soon, he had gently and swiftly passed innumerable big trees, and had entered the depths of the forest. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Raised so far: $100 (333%) Monday: Chapter 110 wille as a regr release.

He had entered fairly deep into the mountain forest, and as he had gone deeper into the forest, the strength of the demon beasts had continued to increase as well. Although, only Houtian level demon beasts were present on the outer areas of the forest, but the weakest among them was only at the Houtian seventh or eighth stage, andpared to the average level of demon beasts present in the Qingfeng Mountain, this was a lot intense. ¡°Phew!¡± A shrill piercing cry came out of nowhere and a cold brightness shed behind Ye Xiwen. He almost instinctively dodged and somersaulted to another tree, and at this time, he finally got a chance to look at what it was. It was a Praying mantis, about two meters tall, covered with dark-green outer shell, and its two giant de-like forelegs were dancing, issuing a fabric tear like sound in the surroundings. It had two thick and huge fangs pointing out of its mouth which was densely covered with fine teeth and could easily snap a steel bar with a single bite. It had two huge wings pping on its back blowing the wind high up in the sky. Seeing that Ye Xiwen had avoided its attack, the giant Praying mantis gave out a loud scream, pped its huge wings, and its huge figure instantly rushed with a lightning speed towards him. The pair of steel de like forelegs brandished instantly and like two giant scissors, they approached to cut him. Unexpectedly, this attack was very much simr to martial arts technique. Praying mantis fist! This Praying mantis clearly possessed wisdom and high intellect, because it was easily disying the Praying mantis fist, and one could see that its attacks and gestures looked simr to the Praying mantis fist technique practiced by humans. The Praying mantis had opened up the world bridge that had helped in circting the Zhen Qi through the meridians present in its body. It had already entered into the Xiantian realm and its fighting prowess wasparable to the warriors of peak Xiantian second stage. Its de-like forelegs released a sharp deqi and instantly chopped out towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°You filthy beast!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted then took out his long de and instantly chopped out a terrifying deqi towards the iing deqi released from the forelegs of Praying mantis. ¡°Boom!¡± The two shares of deqi severely shed and caused a huge explosion, but then, the terrifying deqi released from Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de dispersed the Praying mantis¡¯s deqi and rushed forward. The eyes of Praying mantis revealed an astonished look. It was a demon beast that had got wisdom after breaking through from Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm, which was definitely not easy for a demon beast, so it could feel that Ye Xiwen would not be so easy to deal with. The Praying mantis immediately realized that although this human looked small but it was definitely not an opponent it could take lightly. It didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately pped its wings and flew into the air to dodge the terrifying deqi. ¡°Want to escape?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and suddenly jumped up towards the Praying mantis like a shell ejected from the cannon. Ye Xiwen¡¯s form was like an arrow, and immediately appeared in front of the Praying mantis in the air. His terrifying Zhen Qipletely burst out and after adjusting his stature in the midair, he took a stance and struck his long de towards the mantis. A terrifying Daomang split the air and instantly chopped out. ¡°Puchi!¡± The tough dark-green outer shell covering the body of Praying mantis instantly shattered and its whole body was split in half. ¡°Boom!¡± The two halves of the huge body of Praying mantis fell on the ground and Ye Xiwen alsonded on the ground with ease. He stored the entire body of the Praying mantis in his space ring, as even the corpses of Xiantian level demon beasts were considered as precious treasures. Its outer shell could be processed into armor and its two de-like forelimbs could be used to make high-quality long des. Of course he did not have the skill to make these weapons, but there were others who were quite skilled in making weapons from the bodies of demon beasts, and he could sell the corpse of Praying mantis to them in exchange of some spirit stones. Although he won¡¯t get many spirit stones in exchange for Praying mantis¡¯s corpse, but as they say that many little drops make an ocean. Ye Xiwen did not stay and was about to leave when suddenly, he heard the sound of pping wingsing from the sky. A flock of carrion vultures had been attracted to the smell of blooding from the blood stains of Praying mantis left on the ground. Most of these carrion vultures were at the Houtian ninth stage, nearly two meters tall and wing span of over five meters and were hiding the sky and covering the earth. (NT: ¡®hiding the sky and covering the earth¡¯ is an idiom) The leader of the flock was significantly taller than the others and looked formidable and its whole body was covered in golden yellow feather. It was none other than the golden carrion vulture king. Although, this was a small flock of carrion vultures and was definitely not the strongest ones present in the forest, but this area of the forest was their territory. When these carrion vultures couldn¡¯t find the body of Praying mantis, they suddenly rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Many of the carrion vultures flocked together on him and their sharp ws fiercely approached to tear him apart. If he was an average person then he would have instantly been torn to shreds. ¡°These beasts!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and instantly chopped out his long de. Nine de shadows appeared and rushed towards the flock of carrion vultures and several carrion vultures were instantly split in half by this terrifyingrge scale de attack. Ye Xiwen continued to attack relentlessly while his long de kept on dancing in his hand and releasing de shadows horizontally and vertically towards the flock. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attacks were so incredible that none of the carrion vultures could bear even a single attack. Even their leader, a Xiantian realm carrion vulture, was not a match of Ye Xiwen. He would effortlessly wave his de and several carrion vultures would fall down, chopped in pieces. These carrion vultures had surrounded Ye Xiwen like huge ck clouds and were crying out strange terrifying sounds which could send chills down the spines of anyone who would hear them. Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure shed and moved gracefully while his de waved and released a bright delight whichpletely wrapped him in a sphere of light without leaving any gap. There was no way left for the carrion vultures to approach him and those who tried to get close to him were instantly chopped down in pieces and fell on the ground. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de was constantly dancing in his hand releasing a terrifying delight everywhere. Those carrion vultures didn¡¯t get any chance to dodge and met their tragic deaths while screaming pitifully. After a while, hundreds of mighty carrion vultures had been ughtered and turned into a pile of chopped up corpses, leaving only the golden carrion vulture king. When he saw how Ye Xiwen had killed his own people, the golden carrion vulture king got extremely furious and flew towards Ye Xiwen with an incredibly fast speed with its golden body resembling a golden arrow rushing towards him. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de chopped out a dazzling delight. ¡°ng!¡± The delight fiercely crashed into the body of golden carrion vulture king producing a metal shing sound, however, his body was abnormally sturdy as if it was made of iron and wasn¡¯t chopped down in pieces like the other carrion vultures. However, after taking Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack head on, the golden carrion vulture felt dizzy and his body was sted away and fiercely crashed into a tree. Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes shed and his stature instantly soared towards the golden carrion vulture king and he immediately chopped down his de. ¡°Puchi!¡± Although the body of golden carrion vulture king was extremely tough, but this time, Ye Xiwen directly used his de to sever the head of the golden carrion vulture king from his body. Ye Xiwen rxed but there were just too many corpses of these carrion vultures so he decided to take only the demon cores. ¡°This level of practice is not enough to have a breakthrough, I must work harder.¡± Ye Xiwen said and went deeper into the forest. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 109 – Snow ape Chapter 109 ¨C Snow ape In an instant, three days had already passed and within these three days, Ye Xiwen had went deeper into the mountain forest and had also encountered numerous demon beasts. He didn¡¯t know the names of many of these demon beasts and some of them had attacked together in groups. He also encountered many demon beasts with their fighting strengthparable to that of the masters of peak Xiantian third stage. During these three days, Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t get a tiny bit of rxation time, and the more he wanted to have a breakthrough, the more he would force himself into tempering his body and inner state in the most extreme situations. But he was not in a hurry because he had not yet received any message from the Yan Chiling. He and Yan Chiling had already decided that if something happened then Yan Chiling would immediately tell him using the subpoena Talisman, and Ye Xiwen would immediately fly on his red-crowned crane and rush back at maximum speed. (NT: Subpoena Talisman is a type of summoning talisman) Therefore, Ye Xiwen was not anxious at the moment and was practicing in the forest without worrying about the safety of hisrades. But, he had to deal with his own worries. During these three days, he hadn¡¯t dared to take rest, because if he had decided to rest and had lost attention even for an instant, then perhaps, he would really lose his life the very next instant. This forest was the most dangerous environment he had experienced so far, and even the dangerous environment of Huanmo territory was nothingpared to this, let alone the forest on the backside of Qingfeng Mountain. There were a lot of terrifyingly strong demon beasts present in this forest and even the slightest carelessness could cause death. Several times, Ye Xiwen had encountered danger in this forest, although he had continued to go deeper into the forest for three days, but as a result of constantly encountering demon beasts as well as his careful advancement through the forest, he had not actually advanced too deep and was still in the outermost region. However, even if he was still in the outer region of the forest, it was still packed with arge number of Xiantian realm demon beasts. Wandering in this region for thest three days, he had not seen a single Houtian realm demon beast, and the reason for that was it was impossible for Houtian ream demon beasts to survive in this region of the forest. Ye Xiwen was sure that once he would go deeper into the forest, he would definitely encounter Xiantian fifth stage demon beasts or above, and he suspected that even the Zhen dao realm demon beasts were present in the deeper parts of the forest. Zhen dao realm disciples woulde to practice in this forest all year round, so it could be guessed that there definitely were a lot of Zhen Dao realm demon beasts lurking in the deeper parts of this forest. However this was only his spection and he did not have the evidence to back it up. Within these three days, Ye Xiwen had faced many life and death situations and had still continued to practice in order to have a breakthrough and this kind of practice had shown great benefits. Now, he had arrived at the peak of transformation of 60% Xiantian Zhen Qi. He felt as if there was a big reservoir of water in his body, filled to the brink, and with every movement of his body, he would have a feeling as if the water would pour out from the reservoir. He was very familiar with this kind of feeling as this was a sign that he was very close to having a breakthrough. Ye Xiwen was jumping from one branch to the other when suddenly, hails started to fall down from the sky without any prior indication or warning. Ye Xiwen immediately propped up his Zhen Qi, as he had be very used to during these three days. It was said that a formidable demon beast could induce a change in the weather, not to mention there were so many formidable demon beasts lurking in this forest. Fortunately, the good thing was that this sudden weather change was on a limited scale and was definitely caused by a demon beast of limited ability, so it would be easy for him to leave this affected area and avoid confronting the demon beast behind it. The size of the hail grew bigger and bigger and the nearby trees directly bent after getting hit by these hails, but didn¡¯t copse down, after all, these trees had been nourished after getting subjected to divine Lingqi day and night, and although it could not be said that these trees were simr to other Lingqi rich treasures, but they were still strong enough to bear this hail storm. However, it didn¡¯t go as he had nned, because he couldn¡¯t escape from the scope of this hail storm and ran right into the demon beast that was the reason behind this sudden weather change. It was actually a Snow ape. It was a giant demon beast with a huge body, three meters tall, its whole body was covered with snow-white hair, and there was an aggressive look on its face. Ye Xiwen immediately realized that this hail storm was caused because this Snow ape was having a breakthrough, and had just broken through to the Xiantian fourth stage, and since his breath was still unstable, he had lost control over its powers and had caused this unusual change in the weather of the surrounding area. ¡°Roar!¡± Snow ape hammered its huge fists on its chest and roared wildly, again agitating the surrounding weather by suddenly causing a blizzard, spreading the wind and snow in all directions. Each of its punches would cause air explosions producing a rumbling down and would also induce a snowstorm in the surroundings. It seemed as if this Snow ape had practiced a fist technique and this was actually the fist technique of the Snow apes, although the movement was very simple, but it was extremely powerful and heavy. Snow ape¡¯s eyes were firmly locked onto Ye Xiwen and there was an ominous look in its eyes. After all he had dared to enter into its territory, but Ye Xiwen noticed that it had an eager expression on its face along with a hint of excitement mixed with it. Ye Xiwen was surprised for a moment. Although, he had seen many wise Xiantian demon beasts that possessed high intellect, but, he had never seen a demon beast like Snow ape who was showing such an anthropomorphic expression on its face. Even he could make out that this Snow ape was excited at the moment, and it was said that the stronger a demon beast was, the greater its intellect would be, not to mention, the ape ss demon beasts were considered closest to the humanity. Ye Xiwen now clearly understood that this Snow ape had just now broken through to the Xiantian fourth stage and was looking to have a match with him. Ye Xiwen was still thinking how to deal with this Snow ape when suddenly, its fist punched out a terrible st of snow and ice, made up of its Zhen Qi, which instantly rumbled towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen did not dare to take Snow ape¡¯s attack too lightly, as after having a breakthrough it had be a demon beast of Xiantian fourth stage. He immediately pulled out his long de and chopped out. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwenunched his de attack towards the snowstorm rushing towards him and the collision instantly set off a terrifying st which sted away Ye Xiwen into the air and his body was instantly frozen stiff. Ye Xiwen quickly released this stiffness by circting the Zhen Qi throughout his body, but at this time, it could be seen from its facial expression that the Snow ape was getting more and more excited. It rushed forward, trotting on the ground while making huge footprints and then pounced on Ye Xiwen. (NT: And that¡¯s how Ye Xiwen became the first person to find the big foot!) The movements of Snow ape were extremely quick and it looked like a white lightning when it instantly threw itself in front of Ye Xiwen. At this instant, in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes, it appeared as if a huge snow-covered mountain had suddenly appeared right in front of him, but he didn¡¯t get enough time to react as its furry huge fist immediately punched out with a burst of cold air. The Snow ape continued to throw its ice-cold punches relentlessly one after the other at Ye Xiwen, without giving him any chance to recuperate. The terrifying coercive aura of Snow ape was firmly locked on him andbined with its ice-cold presence, it was very hard for him to breathe. Ye Xiwen shouted and shot out his palm, Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss. ¡°Roar!¡± Soon, a gigantic Dragon instantly congealed out of his palm and leapt high into the sky then it descended towards the Snow ape. ¡°Boom!¡± The gigantic Dragon malicious collided with the arm of Snow ape that it had lifted up to block. ¡°Kara!¡± Snow ape¡¯s arm directly broke under the tremendous might of ¡®Coiling Dragon Palm¡¯. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 110 – Breakthrough in battle Chapter 110 ¨C Breakthrough in battle ¡°Kara!¡± Snow ape¡¯s arm directly broke under the tremendous might of ¡®Coiling Dragon Palm¡¯. A startled look shed on the face of the Snow ape. It never expected that a single strike from Ye Xiwen could actually fracture its arm. Ye Xiwen slightly gasped for breath, as this move had just now consumed 10% of his Xiantian Zhen Qi. Although the might of this move was veryrge, but even so, it couldn¡¯t kill the Snow ape and could only fracture its arm. This Snow ape was really formidable! However, Ye Xiwen¡¯s blood had begun to boil up and seethe with excitement. At present, his current strength was enough to easily defeat the masters of peak Xiantian third stage and he could even contend with the masters of early Xiantian fourth stage. And right now, his opponent was a Snow ape that had just broken into the Xiantian fourth stage and had yet to consolidate its strength. So this time, two opponents of rivaling strengths had met in battle, so it was bound to be exciting for both of them. The perfect opponents! Snow ape hade to realize that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was ridiculouslyrge, and it couldn¡¯t fight recklessly with him. With another ¡®Kara¡¯ sound, the broken bone in its arm returned back to its original position, and suddenly, it pulled out a giant stick out of nowhere and jumped towards Ye Xiwen and smashed the stick which released numerous shadows and one could see that it contained the essence of the stick technique which was strongerpared to the Snow ape fist technique. It was obvious that this Snow ape had practiced the stick technique to a very profound level. Ye Xiwen did not hesitate and took out his long de and chopped out. ¡°Boom!¡± A bright Daomang released from the de and shed fiercely with the stick Jinmeng, and with a bang, a loud thunder-like sound spread in the surrounding area. (NT: Jinmeng: fierce strength) Both sides had to step back because their equally powerful attacks couldn¡¯t do anything to the other side. Ye Xiwen dashed forward and his figure instantly shot out like a shell and collided with the Snow ape. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± An intermittent bursts of huge collision sounds spread while both of them were trying all they could to press down the other one. Snow ape finally realized that this time, his selection of opponent was wrong, and didn¡¯t seem like a good deal. One could say that it had chosen a wrong opponent this time, because initially it had thought that he would prove to be a very good opponent to test its newly obtained strength of Xiantian fourth stage. But now, it had be difficult for the Snow ape to deal with a formidable opponent like Ye Xiwen. However, an ominous aurapletely broke out from deep inside the blood vessels of its beastly body, and at this moment, its initially unstable state, after continuously fighting with Ye Xiwen, had begun to show signs of consolidation. The snow ape lifted its face upward and began to roar loudly and ferociously. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t take this lightly because if Snow ape continued to consolidate its state then its strength would increase dramatically. But he had earned a great deal of benefit by fighting with this Snow ape, because after his unceasing collisions with it, at this moment, the initial sturdy barrier on his inner state had slowly begun to loosen up, and his strength had started to rise. The strength of both sides was rising continuously and the collisions between them had still continued. Both sides were enduring patiently hoping topletely crush the opposite party in the next attack. Ye Xiwen was not very anxious as he knew that the Snow ape was going to reach its limit very soon, and once the consolidation of its state wouldplete, the rise in its strength woulde to a stop, but, his case was different, as he could still have a breakthrough, and after having the breakthrough, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds and then he would be able to kill it. At that time, let alone a demon beast of early Xiantian fourth stage, even the demon beasts of peak Xiantian fourth stage would be easily defeated by him. Snow ape had never felt so aggrieved. It was already at the Xiantian fourth stage but it had still been unable to overwhelm a mere human of Xiantian second stage. It was very proud of its unparalleled tough body but it still couldn¡¯t fully prevail over Ye Xiwen, in fact, it had a faint feeling of getting suppressed instead. It didn¡¯t know that Ye Xiwen had practiced ¡°Tyrants body technique¡± and this was the reason why he possessed such a tough body. This was an unparalleled ancient technique used by the ancient tyrant gods to train their bodies. Although Ye Xiwen had practiced it to the secondyer but the toughness of his body had already increased to a very high level. Snow ape was at a far higher cultivation levelpared to Ye Xiwen, but it had still been unable topletely suppress him, and it had also sensed that he had slowly started to be stronger. Moreover his breath was rising constantly and had started to be more and more thick, which clearly indicated that Ye Xiwen was about to have a breakthrough. ¡°Cannot let this human have a breakthrough!¡± A thought echoed in its mind, though it couldn¡¯t speak, but its wisdom had increased to a considerable extent after reaching the Xiantian fourth stage and it could clearly feel how dangerous it would be if Ye Xiwen was allowed to have a breakthrough. Snow ape no longer hesitated and waved its huge stick, covered in ice-cold aura, which immediately froze the air and it seemed as if the surrounding area had turned into a world of snow and ice. The huge stick had yet to arrive near Ye Xiwen but that kind of enormous breath and cold atmosphere fiercely pounded with an irresistible force, as if a huge iceberg had smashed down in front of him. This coercive aura put intense pressure on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and his bones started to produce crackling sounds as the result of his bones rubbing against each other. Ye Xiwen sneered and the Zhen Qi began to madly surge inside his body. The long de danced in his hand and chopped out a dazzling Daomang. The two imposing attacks met in the midair, staggered, and fiercely collided with each other, causing the Zhen Qi and Yaoqi to mutually evaporate in the air, and erupted the smoke and fireworks everywhere. Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daomang, bit by bit, copsed under the pressure of Snow ape¡¯s iceberg-like stick, and it pressed down on his body. An enormous imposing aura suddenly broke out like a hurricane from his body, and his original inner state at the peak of Xiantian second stage with 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi, under the intense pressure of this imposing aura, transformed an additional 20% Xiantian Zhen Qi inside his body, reaching 80% Xiantian Zhen Qi, which was nowparable to the transformation of a master at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage. Rising straight from 60% transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi to 80% Xiantian Zhen Qi, Ye Xiwen¡¯s aura immediately changed and the Daomang that had initially copsed started to reappear and became even powerful than before, and it suddenly crashed into the iceberg and shattered it into ice fragments which were sent fluttering about in the air. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 111 – Jing Yannan Chapter 111 ¨C Jing Yannan A panic-stricken facial expression appeared on the face of the Snow ape and it was looking at Ye Xiwen with a look of horror in its eyes. After having a breakthrough, his fighting strength had suddenly increased to such an extent that now it could bepared with the strength of masters at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage. How could this human be so formidable after having a break through? This also symbolized that the battle efficiency of Ye Xiwen had also made a new breakthrough! However the Snow ape was unwilling to give up. This beast was very clever and it wanted to take advantage of Ye Xiwen¡¯s unstable inner state that had yet to consolidate. It was looking for an opportunity to catch him off guard and kill him. A cunning and deceitful look shed in the blood-red eyes of the Snow ape, but Ye Xiwen did not make it wait for too long and chopped out his long de which blossomed out brilliant glorious deqi, shadowing the sky. Ye Xiwen¡¯s de technique had be even more fearsome and even the Snow ape had to go all out with rapt attention in the face of this de attack. The Snow ape roared and the snow and ice start swirling in the air and gathered in front of it to form an ice wall, in order to resist Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack. But this ice wall¡¯s defense didn¡¯t live up to Snow ape¡¯s expectation, and in an instant, it was cut down into two parts as if cutting a slip of paper and copsed down under the formidable power of Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daomang. ¡°Puchi!¡± The dazzling Daomang cut into the body of Snow ape and chopped its Iron-like tough body into two halves causing its blood to stter and its flesh to fly in all directions. It died an instant death with an inconceivable look in its eyes. It had just reached the Xiantian fourth stage and had yet to run amuck to enjoy the newly gained strength but it did a blunder by choosing a wrong opponent and the result was that it was split in half in a single de attack! Ye Xiwen rxed and thought that this Snow ape was really very formidable and if he had not reached the peak of Xiantian second stage then it would be very difficult to deal with it. But, after this, a look of joy shed in his eyes, after all, he had finally reached the peak of Xiantian second stage. Not just that, he was quite surprised to find out that in just one breakthrough, 80% of the Houtian Zhen Qi inside his body had transformed into the Xiantian Zhen Qi, and now, he could easily contend with a master at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage. The next step would be the so-calledplete transformation of 100% Houtian Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Qi. Then, suddenly, a ray of light dropped from the sky and Ye Xiwen lifted his hand to receive it. It was a message from Yan Chiling that was received by the summoning Talisman. Ye Xiwen used his Zhen Qi to probe inside the talisman and a bunch of information instantly poured into his mind. It was a message from Yan Chiling! Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately whistled, the very next instant, the red-crowned quickly flew down from the sky. For thest three days, it had been hovering in the air, ready and waiting to answer the summon call from Ye Xiwen. Riding the red-crowned crane at maximum speed, within half an hour, Ye Xiwen returned to the Main Sect. Ye Xiwen frowned because just as he had expected, those people from other factions wouldn¡¯t give up that easily and had finallye after their Qian Yu faction, though not all factions were hostile against them. There were a lot of factions with varying strengths. Some factions were very strong, especially those created by the true disciples, but they only epted core disciples as members of their factions or extraordinarily talented inner or outer disciples. The moderately powerful factions epted new disciples and inner disciples as members, and those factions at the bottom of hierarchy epted outer disciples and even some handyman disciples in their factions. So fortunately, the Qian Yu faction created by the new disciples hadn¡¯t made all of the factions as its enemy, but even so, it had to face three of four hostile factions belonging to the Tongtian peak, as they originally were thepetitors, however this time, they had joined forces to suppress Qian Yu faction. Whenever a faction would rise in power, it would generally face resistance from other factions. After Ye Xiwen hurried back to the Tongtian peak, he didn¡¯t see therge number of disciples at the gate, as mentioned in the message sent by Yan Chiling on his summoning talisman. He was not much worried about the safety of the new disciples, after all, inside the premises of the Main sect, those senior disciples wouldn¡¯t dare to be too presumptuous, though they might try to bully and oppress the new disciples, but no one would dare to go as far as to kill someone, because once a life was taken, it would probably rm the high level personnel. In general, the high-level senior disciples didn¡¯t bully the new disciples, and as long as the new disciples didn¡¯t cause too much trouble, they wouldn¡¯t directly intervene. In their eyes, this was part of the discipline that must be followed in the Sect and they weren¡¯t generally interested in mediocre disciples. They were only interested in talented outstanding disciples because the existence of one outstanding disciple was far more important to thempared to a thousand mediocre disciples. Therefore, Ye Xiwen wasn¡¯t expecting to see a very bad situation and wanted to hurry back in order to stop the situation from escting. These rival factions needed to know that Qian Yu faction wasn¡¯t made up of weak people and they could fight back if needed. Ye Xiwen reached the Tongtian peak and was surprised to find Yan Chiling talking to a handsome youth d in elegant Chinese robe. ¡°Brother Yan, what¡¯s this all about?¡± Ye Xiwen asked Yan Chiling in a surprised tone because he had frantically sent the message to Ye Xiwen some time ago, but now, the things looked pretty normal to him. Seeing that Ye Xiwen hade back, Yan Chiling¡¯s face lighted up and that handsome youth looked at Ye Xiwen with a surprised and curious look in his eyes. Yan Chiling smiled and said: ¡°Brother Ye, this time, we were lucky that Brother Jing came to help us out.¡± After listening to the exnation of Yan Chiling, Ye Xiwen finally came to understand that arge number of senior disciples had arrived at the gate and Yan Chiling had panicked and had frantically messaged Ye Xiwen, but this handsome youth named Jing Yannan came to mediate between them and the opposite party agreed to a temporarily truce. ¡°I want to thank Brother Jing for your help this time.¡± Ye Xiwen cupped one hand over the other across his chest and said in a respectful manner. ¡°No harm, I came at the request of someone to help you.¡± Jing Yannan smiled and said. Ye Xiwen was confused as he couldn¡¯t make a guess. Who would actually send help for him? Noticing the confused look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, Yan Chiling smiled and said: ¡°You don¡¯t need to guess because I will dly tell you who it was. It was actually Sister Hua who sent us help this time!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 112 – Battle after a month Chapter 112 ¨C Battle after a month ¡°I want to thank Senior Jing for your help this time.¡± Ye Xiwen cupped one hand over the other across his chest and said in a respectful manner. ¡°No harm, I came at the request of someone to help you.¡± Jing Yannan smiled and said. Ye Xiwen was confused as he couldn¡¯t make a guess. Who would actually send him help? Noticing the confused look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, Yan Chiling smiled and said: ¡°You don¡¯t need to guess because I will dly tell you who it was. It was actually Sister Hua who sent us help this time!¡± Hua Menghan! This name immediately cropped up in his mind. He never thought that it would actually be Hua Menghan to send him help! At present, the beautiful figure of Hua Menghan seemed to have appeared in the imagination of Ye Xiwen! ¡°The news about this matter has spread outside?¡± Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t allow his imagination to go astray thinking about the beautiful Hua Menghan and directly asked. ¡°Certainly, considering the involvement of your Qian Yu faction in recent incidents, the new disciples of your faction are out in the limelight, and now among the Yi Yuan School¡¯s ten peaks, who does not know that a group of audacious neers have shown up in the Tongtian peak.¡± Jing Yannan said with a faint smile on his face and his voice seemed to have a touch of ridicule. Yan Chiling¡¯splexion immediately changed as gaining limelight so early was not a good thing for him as the leader of Qian Yu faction. ¡°You are not the first generation of disciples to do such a thing, in the past, one generation of new disciples had tried the same thing and finally entered the ¡®Zhen dao¡¯ realm and gained huge poprity, but gaining so much power and poprity corrupted them, and ultimately, things turned out to be very miserable.¡± Jing Yannan said and curiously looked at Ye Xiwen as if trying to know what kind of person he really was by reading his reaction. ¡°A mighty king defeats the invaders!¡± Ye Xiwen said in an indifferent manner. ¡°Ha ha, mighty king defeats the invaders, well said!¡± Jing Yannan eximed and said, ¡°This year¡¯s disciples are really different from the past but your determination and strength is still not enough. Although I helped you this time and forced them to retreat, but they won¡¯t stay down for too long and wille after you once again, and at that time, you will have to be capable enough to help yourselves.¡± ¡°Senior Jing helped in getting rid of them even once is more than enough for us and we are very grateful.¡± Yan Chiling said in a polite tone. Ye Xiwen now had a clear understanding of the mindset of these senior factions, especially those factions that were forcing the new disciples to be their members and were sparing no effort to suppress the Qian Yu faction. This was more like a warning to other new disciples indicating that if they tried to from their own factions then the development of their factions would be seriously affected. The new batch of disciples was an important source of members for these senior factions and they would go to any extent to suppress the new factions just to crush any future rivalry and loss of members. Jing Yannan did not stay, and soon went back. Yan Chiling somewhat smiled wryly because he never imagined that setting up a new faction would be so difficult and the interference of senior disciples had made his life difficult as the leader of Qian Yu faction. As far as those covetously eyeing senior disciples were concerned, if only he had few more years to cultivate, at least 10 more years, then his strength would have rapid progress, at that time, forming a faction would not be so difficult, in fact, it woulde as a natural thing. However he was not willing to give up, because Qian Yu faction was formed just recently, so why must they dissolve it? ¡°Brother Ye, this time, Senior Jing came to our rescue but the other side has put forward a condition. One monthter, the deputy-main of Fudi faction, Mo Han, wille back, and as long as we can beat him, then in the future, no one will embarrass our Qian Yu faction. However, if we can¡¯t beat Mo Han, then Qian Yu faction must be dissolved.¡± Yan Chiling said in a somewhat aggrieved tone. ¡°What¡¯s the background of this Mo Han?¡± Ye Xiwen asked because from what he knew so far, Fudi faction had been started by a core disciple, so it was obvious that the deputy-main would not be an average disciple. ¡°This Mo Han joined the Main Sect two batches before us, which means six years ago, and at that time, he became an extremely dazzling talent among the new disciples and in just a short time of six years, he reached the peak of Xiantian fifth stage and became a seed disciple among the inner disciples. It is said that he is very strong, and recognizing his talent, the Fudi faction made an exception to appoint him as deputy-main. He is the only inner disciple among the several deputy-mains of the Fudi faction, and all other deputy-mains are core disciples.¡± Yan Chiling exined. Talented people always got preferential treatment which reflected in all aspects, and Mo Han¡¯s case was the best example of that. ¡°I am not willing to give up!¡± Yan Chiling said in an irritated manner. If only he had few more years, then he was confident that his own strength wouldn¡¯t be far too lesspared to that of Mo Han, however, he didn¡¯t have that much time as what could he aplish in just one month. ¡°You leave this thing to me! One monthter, I will battle with Mo Han.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°You ...¡± Yan Chiling looked somewhat unbelievably at Ye Xiwen. It was not that he suspected the might of Ye Xiwen, and having such an incredible strength at a young age was unusual indeed and proved that Ye Xiwen was truly a genius, but he still couldn¡¯t believe that Ye Xiwen could be victorious against Mo Han. ¡°Rest assured, trust me and let me handle this matter.¡± Ye Xiwen said and thought to himself that this thing wouldn¡¯t have been so easy to handle but with the interference of Hua Menghan and Jing Yannan, who came forward to moderate between the two sides, it could be said that it had saved Ye Xiwen a lot of trouble, because now, as long as he could beat this so-called genius Mo Han, Qian Yu faction would get recognition from the other factions and people would stop toe looking for trouble, and in that case, he would have enough time for enhancing his own strength. If the battle between him and Mo Han took ce right now, then it was obvious that he wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against Mo Han, but the battle was going to take ce a monthter, and at time, the situation would bepletely different. Right now, Ye Xiwen was at the peak of Xiantian second stage and his fighting strength wasparable to that of the masters at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage, although it could be said that he had shown the fastest progress among all the new disciples, but his current strength was still not enough to confront Mo Han. However, if he used the Xuan Jindan, then his strength would increase by leaps and bounds in a short time, and he would directly reach the peak of Xiantian third stage, and at that time, he would be able to easily contend with a master at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage. So, the showdown with Mo Han would not be a problem at all. But it was going to take time because Xuan Jindan was a strong drug and gave extraordinary effects but it took a lot of time to fully consume it. Fortunately, he had got one month¡¯s time to prepare for the battle. ¡°A monthter, let me take care of that Mo Han.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Yan Chiling was somewhat puzzled at such disy of confidence by Ye Xiwen, because even with the help of Xuan Jindan, in his view, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength would not increase to such an extent that he would be able topete with Mo Han. He did not know that Ye Xiwen had just made a huge breakthrough, but Ye Xiwen did not exin and went straight back to his own courtyard and began the closed door practice. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 113 – I bet 5000 on Ye Xiwen’s victory! Chapter 113 ¨C I bet 5000 on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory! One month passed in an instant, and in this month, Qian Yu faction became the center of attention of many high-level and low-level disciples of Tongtian peak, and not just that, some of the high-level personnel also paid attention to this matter. And Ye Xiwen¡¯s name didn¡¯t just be famous among the new disciples, but all of a sudden, a lot of people hade to know of his name. From the rumors, they had also be aware of the fact that new disciples had formed a new faction named Qian Yu faction and a showdown was going to take ce for its sake. The name, Qian Yu, had appeared for the first time in the hearts of many people. However, many people were not optimistic about the development of this new faction, because they knew that Ye Xiwen was going to battle with Mo Han, and no one could imagine the victory of Ye Xiwen, after all, Ye Xiwen was just a new disciple, but Mo Han was considered a famous inner disciple and had also entered among the rankings of seed disciples, although from thest, but there were several thousand inner disciples in the Main Sect, and among them, there were only 100 or so seed disciples, so one could see how powerful Mo Han actually was. For the inner disciples, this was their most essential goal, because as long as they could be one of the few seed disciples, then they could get a lot of school resources. In any of the great Sects, talented disciples would always be favored and were given more resources and better carepared to ordinary disciples, and no one thought that this was improper because everyone was like that. Among several thousand inner disciples, being able to attain the rank among the 100 seed disciples, one could imagine the intensity ofpetition. Even if Mo Han had barely squeezed into the ranks of seed disciples from the bottom, but this was enough to ept the fact that he was extraordinarily strong. And many people were betting on the victory of Mo Han, because looking at his talent, it was only a matter of time when he would actually upy a higher rank among the seed disciples. But who was Ye Xiwen? He was merely a new disciple who joined the Main Sect this year. Although he was considered an extraordinary talent among the new disciples, but his cultivation time was very short. If this battle took ce few yearster, then no one would be able to make a guess about the victor, but right now, no one was betting on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory. Once Ye Xiwen was defeated, then the newly formed Qian Yu faction wouldpletely fall apart and would be disbanded ording to the terms of the battle. The day of the battle finally arrived, and on this day, the Life and Death Arena of the Tongtian peak drew a huge crowd and many disciples came to surround the arena. ording to the rules of Yi Yuan School, life and death battles were only allowed in the Life and Death Arena, and even if a disciple was to die during the battle, it wouldn¡¯t vite the regtion of the school. This arena was built for the disciples who wanted to solve their personal hatred through battles, and as long as both sides were willing to participate, they would themselves control their own life and death, generally speaking, unless there was a bitter hatred and grudge between the two parties, they were not allowed to battle in the Life and Death Arena. Yi Yuan School didn¡¯t want to evade the fact that in the world of martial artists, hatred and misgivings were inevitable and it was better for them to sort it out in a fair battle in the Life and Death Arena, rather than using unfair means to stab each other¡¯s back. Every day, disciples would resolve their grudges and grievances in the Life and Death Arena, but today¡¯s battle was one of the most popr ones and had attracted arge crowd. They hade to see the battle between the most famous new disciple, who was representing the new disciples and their newly formed faction, and a famous inner disciple, who had recently joined the ranks of seed disciples and was representing the senior disciples and their factions. For a long time, this kind of situation had not appeared and everyone was curious and excited. ¡°Come,e,e, the battle¡¯s going to start soon, bet on Ye Xiwen¡¯s win, if lost thenpensation is ten, bet on Mo Han¡¯s win, if lost thenpensation is 0.5!¡± A disciple had opened up a gambling house on the side and was shouting loudly. Many disciples started to bet and looking at the odds of the battle, most of them bet on Mo Han¡¯s victory, as no one wanted to take a risk and bet on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory, even though thepensation of 10 was very high, because it was no different than betting on a miracle. ¡°This is so hateful, how dare you look down on our little brother!¡± A female voice came out from the crowd. Standing in the crowd, there was a pretty woman and appeared to be 20 years old, on her side, stood a handsome youth who appeared to be 23 or 24 years old. They were actually Ye Ruxue and Ye Feng, the two elder siblings of Ye Xiwen. Today, not just the people of Tongtian peak had gathered around the Life and Death Arena, because, this battle had attracted the attention of a lot of people, even from the other nine peaks. Many disciples from the other nine peaks had rushed over early in the morning to watch this battle. Ye Ruxue and Ye Feng would naturallye to watch their little brother¡¯s fight, in addition to them, the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school had alsoe to cheer for Ye Xiwen, because no matter what, he was considered the top disciple of their sub-school and had saved them many times. And not just the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, the new disciples of other sub-schools had alsoe to watch this battle, because in this battle, Ye Xiwen was not just representing the Qian Yu faction but all of the new disciples and he was also a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of senior disciples. All the eyes were fixated on the arena, curiously anticipating the oue of the battle. Seeing the anger seething on Ye Ruxue¡¯s face, Ye Feng smiled wryly, because this was quite normal. Nobody was betting on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory and the reason was quite obvious to everyone, of course, except Ye Ruxue, because somehow, she always had a lot of confidence on her little brother. Standing beside the two siblings were Yan Chiling and Zhangsun Yuyin, and others who were on good terms with Ye Xiwen and hade to watch his battle. ¡°These senior disciples are really bunch of snobs.¡± Yan Chiling whispered angrily. Yan Chiling walked up to the front row of the audience and ced his bet: ¡°I bet three hundred spirit stones on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory!¡± Yan Chiling gritted his teeth, but Ye Xiwen was going to fight for the dignity of the new disciples and their faction, so right now, all he could do was show his support. ¡°I bet four hundred!¡± Another loud voice followed the voice of Yan Chiling and it belonged to Ye Feng, ¡°I bet on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory!¡± ¡°I bet one hundred!¡± Ye Ruxue clenched her teeth and said. ¡°I bet thirty!¡± ¡°I bet ten!¡± Seeing this, several top disciples also betted on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory and many new disciples also joined them and betted in favor of Ye Xiwen. The disciple responsible in the gambling house gave somewhat dumbfounded looks to the people who were betting in favor of Ye Xiwen. He just couldn¡¯t understand what made these new disciples to suddenly go crazy and they started betting on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory which was simply impossible. Did not they know that they would lose everything? Although thepensation of 10 looked very attractive if won, but there was no chance of winning for Ye Xiwen, so how could they even dare to bet when they knew that they could lose 10 times the bet they were cing? These country bumpkins! The disciple secretlyughed, but there a look of enthusiasm on his face as he warmly received the spirit stones from the new disciples, and with eleven registrations in favor of Ye Xiwen, he also started to look forward to seeing the faces of these country bumpkins once they would lose their bets. Although with one look, it seemed that these people were stupid to be betting on a miracle but even if they had betted in favor of Mo Han, they wouldn¡¯t have won back much with only thepensation of 0.5, so even if they were fools, it was better to try their luck for once rather than ying it safe. ¡°Who else wants to bet? Hurry up, the duel is about to start!¡± The disciple shouted. ¡°I bet 5000 on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory!¡± A slim cyan figure appeared at the entrance. Chapter 114 – Victory and defeat undecided Chapter 114 ¨C Victory and defeat undecided ¡°I bet 5000 on Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory!¡± A slim cyan figure appeared at the entrance. Ye Feng and others turned to look and an expression of joy suddenly appeared on their faces. ¡°Little brother!¡± ¡°Little brother!¡± ¡°Brother Ye!¡± ¡°Brother Ye!¡± Many new disciples eximed with bright looks on their faces. ¡°Is that Ye Xiwen, too audacious!¡± ¡°Indeed, although Mo Han is not the strongest inner disciple, but Ye Xiwen is just a new disciple!¡± ¡°You are right, and these neers need to see this battle and learn that it will take them several years before they start treating us as equals!¡± Some of the sour senior disciples were discussing and looking down on the new disciples. In any ce, there were talented people and mediocre people, and the talented people would speak with their strengths, while the mediocre speak on the basis of their seniority, because they just couldn¡¯t get used to seeing these new talented peopleing to the Main Sect. These words were totally disregarded by the people, and Ye Xiwen did not care either. Although seniority was indeed important, but in this world, the strength was the supreme authority, and as long as there was enough strength, what was the use of seniority? Who would care! ¡°I bet 5000 on my victory.¡± Ye Xiwen walked to the front of the gambling disciple and said. After a moment, the disciple very calmly epted 5000 spirit stones, though this number was a big and scary figure, because even if it was a master at Xiantian fifth stage, he would have nothing left after betting such a big figure. Only some of the top seed disciples could probably dare to bet such a huge amount of spirit stones like Ye Xiwen, because once lost, they might lose everything. However if won, then they could easily make ten times of the betted amount, then their acquired wealth would beparable to that of many of the core disciples. After the registration, Ye Xiwen directly turned around, and there was no sign of anxiousness on his face as if he had already won the battle. After that, the gambling house closed down and stopped registering any more bets. Although the amount of 50,000 spirit stones was an astronomical figure for inner disciples and even for some core disciples, but when it came to true disciples, this amount was nothing for them. ¡°Little brother, you seem to be very confident today.¡± Ye Feng asked. ¡°Rx.¡± Ye Xiwen smiled and said. ¡°Today, I am going to finish this battle in a moment!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C The surrounding of the Life and Death Arena was packed with disciples and it could be described as a sea of ??people, and not just inner disciples, even a lot of core disciples hade as well to watch this battle. Minute by minute, second by second, time was slowly approaching the initially set time for the battle. Many of the disciples surrounding the Life and Death Arena began to shout and cheer for the contenders, especially the members of Fudi faction, who were cheering for their faction¡¯s deputy-main, Mo Han. ¡°Deputy-main, kill that arrogant bastard!¡± ¡°Let those neers know our fierceness!¡± The disciples of the Fudi faction wereughing while the new disciples of the Qian Yu faction were ring at those senior disciples and were extremely angry. On a distant grandstand, opposite the ring, two figures were standing on top of it and were looking indifferently towards the Life and Death Arena. If Ye Xiwen was present there, he would be surprised to discover that one of the figures was actually the guy who hade to help himst month, Jing Yannan. And at his side, stood a ck-robed youth, who had a pale face but looked very handsome, and right now, he was staring towards the arena. ¡°Brother Jing, I don¡¯t think that Ye Xiwen will dare toe. The battle¡¯s going to start any time but I can¡¯t even see even a trace of him anywhere!¡± The ck-robed handsome said. ¡°Impossible!¡± Jing Yannan shook his head and said, ¡°Although I have only met him once, but in the end, you need to acknowledge the fact that Sister Hua has a favorable impression of him, and I noticed that his frame of mind is extremely tough and he possesses a very strong willpower. He will die standing rather than kneeling in front of someone. So it¡¯s absolutely impossible to think that he is some timid guy who would run away from a fight.¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s rare for an inner disciple to obtain such high appraisal from Brother Jing.¡± The ck-robed handsome youth said in a surprised manner. He just thought that Jing Yannan hade to mediate because Hua Menghan had asked him to do so, but he never expected that Jing Yannan would have such a high evaluation of Ye Xiwen. Jing Yannan lightly smiled and said: ¡°Well that¡¯s because he is a genius among this year¡¯s new disciples.¡± ¡°Genius, ha ha! How many geniuses do you thinke and die every year in the Yi Yuan School? What¡¯s the use of being a genius if he doesn¡¯t get a chance to grow?¡± The ck-robed youth shook his head and said with a smile on his face. Almost all the disciples who came to join the Main Sect from various sub-schools were all considered geniuses in their respective sub-schools. Back then, they were called the top disciples and were also the well-known disciples, but after joining the Main Sect and getting grouped with several geniusesing from across the State, their original fame and title of the genius seemed quite ridiculous. Talented, geniuses, these titles were useless if they didn¡¯t get a chance to grow and disy their real talent and potential. People only remembered the glory of those who were still alive; no one would remember how many bones of the dead geniuses were used in paving the road to fame and glory. ¡°Mo Han was also the strongest new disciple back then when he had joined the Main Sect. That is the reason why I allowed him to be my faction¡¯s deputy-main.¡± The ck-robed handsome youth said while resting his body against a stone pir. This ck-robed handsome youth was actually the founder of Fudi faction, Qin Muze. ¡°It¡¯s going to be quite interesting, one is this year¡¯s strongest genius, and the other one is the strongest genius from two batches ago.¡± Jing Yannan smiled and said. ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about it? If this battle took ce a few yearster then it will be difficult to guess who wins, but right now, the oue of this battle has already been decided.¡± Qin Muze indifferently said. ¡°Hard to say, hard to say, do you know that a few talented new disciples have been awarded the Xuan Jindan this year?¡± Jing Yannan said and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. ¡°Xuan Jindan...¡± Qin Muze suddenly gawked for a moment. He obviously knew about Xuan Jindan and its mysterious and profound effects. In fact, it was so precious that even in the Main Sect, only elite disciples could obtain such a precious item. But, to him, it was useless, because, a Xuan Jindan could only be used by the masters at Xiantian fifth stage or below and he had crossed the Xiantian fifth stage a long time ago. ¡°They are willing to give it to the new disciple? But this is the Xuan Jindan!¡± Qin Muze said in a serious manner, ¡°Even if they have given a Xuan Jindan to Ye Xiwen but it will still not change the oue of this battle!¡± Qin Muze had no words to say anymore. A lot of big personalities came to watch this battle and knew about the terms of this battle. He had made a big decision to allow this battle and a lot of things depended on it. This was a big turning point as everyone knew that gratitude and grudges were part of life and things had already be worse for senior and new disciples. But, if Ye Xiwen was defeated in the battle then they would be able to suppress the new factions without any interference and new disciples would have to bitterly ept it without any resistance. He knew that this year¡¯s batch was filled with several genius disciples and he would be able to obtain them as his faction¡¯s members. This battle was a great opportunity and he could reap a lot of benefits for his faction and this was the fundamental reason why he epted the mediation of Jing Yannan. At this time, during their conversation, Fudi faction¡¯s deputy-main, this battle¡¯s other contender, Mo Han finally appeared. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 115 – Xiantian Xiao successfully achieved Chapter 115 ¨C Xiantian Xiao sessfully achieved Mo Han was a tall warrior with grandiose stature, d in brilliant clothing, stout, and a there was grim look on his face. ¡°Where¡¯s Ye Xiwen? Why has he not appeared yet?¡± Mo Han asked in a cold voice. ¡°Maybe he is scared toe up in the arena!¡± The members of the Fudi faction said with ridicule. ¡°Ha ha ha ha!¡± The members of Fudi faction burst out in a loudughter. ¡°Why don¡¯t I find this joke funny?¡± A calm and clear voice suddenly came from the crowd and interrupted theughter of the members of Fudi faction. Ye Xiwen slowly walked out of the crowd and looked indifferently at Mo Han. ¡°You finally came, good, you did not let me down!¡± Mo Han said in a callous tone. Although he didn¡¯t care, but if he paid attention, he would have sensed that Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was exuding somewhat restless aura which was very intense. With Ye Xiwen in the arena, it seemed as if the atmosphere was instantly lit up and the enthusiasm of everyone, present on the scene, also heated up. ¡°Deputy-main, teach that arrogant brat about the profoundness of this world!¡± ¡°Deputy-main,e on!¡± The members of the Fudi faction mored loudly and started cheering for Mo Han. Mo Han didn¡¯t speak anything, and without giving any time to Ye Xiwen to gain a foothold, his body instantlyunched like an arrow towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen was well prepared and didn¡¯t want to be outdone by him. He took a step and his figure disappeared and went skimming towards Mo Han and his palm rumbled. In the arena, the two shadows of these contenders passed over gently and swiftly like lightning, like two meteors in general, and in a sh, they crashed into each other and produced a loud collision along with a huge explosion, and right at that time, the two share of vigorous Xiantian Zhen Qi suddenly erupted, and under the fury of their fierce strengths, cracks instantly appeared even on the hard floor of the arena. ¡°Bang, bang!¡± A low and deep sound spread in the arena and their shadows immediately retreated back, and in this round of battle, no one could understand who won, because it was like a sh between two equally powerful challengers and no one actually won in this round of battle. In the eyes of both of the contenders, there was a color of surprise, especially Mo Han. He was totally stunned because he did not expect that Ye Xiwen would be able to directly take on his attack and even after the fierce collision between them, Ye Xiwen looked absolutely normal, as if it was not at all strenuous for him, in fact, he actually quite easily received Mo Han¡¯s blow. Ye Xiwen was also surprised because he did not think that Mo Han would be so strong, obviously stronger than what he anticipated. Mo Han pulled out a pitch-ck long spear from his storage ring. The spear point was shing and was surrounded with a cold and threatening aura, and like a viper came out of the hole, it instantly dashed towards Ye Xiwen and immediately came in front of him, and just when it arrived right in front of him, it released several spear shadows at him. Ye Xiwen also instantly pulled out the long de from the scabbard on his back, and the long de started to dance in his hand, producing several de shadows dancing in the arena, which then moved forward to wee the iing attack. ¡°ng!¡± The crisp sound of metal shing resounded along with sparks from the collision between the two that spread throughout the arena. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de fiercely collided with the spear of Mo Han, and their enormous strengths could be felt by everyone present on the scene. The visible ripples of shock waves were continuously pouring out of the arena, and in a sh, the two figures exchanged several blows which happened so fast that it was difficult for many spectators to track with their eyes. After exchanging many blows, they drew back several steps. ¡°Your strength is pretty good, but you are still too tender and amateur.¡± Mo Han said and the spear in his hands shook slightly, as if a viper was preparing to bite at any time. ¡°The water in the Main Sect is very deep, it¡¯s not a ce where a neer can juste and act unreasonably.¡± ¡°What utter nonsense, even if this ce has deep water, I will still keep trying and temper myself to go deeper.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you can¡¯t me me!¡± Mo Han shouted loudly and his strength of peak Xiantian fifth stagepletely broke out, and an aggressive aura came out of his body, andpletely wrapped the entire the arena. Ye Xiwen was also not going to be outdone, and the very next instant, an equally powerful and even slightly more intense aurapletely erupted from his body and spread throughout the arena. In this month, it was impossible for Ye Xiwen to have not done anything. After taking a dose of Xuan Jindan, in a short time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation reached the peak of Xiantian third stage, and he also transformed 100% of Houtian Zhen Qi present in his body into Xiantian Zhen Qi which in turn greatly increased his battle efficiency. During this month, atst, he finally consolidated ¡°Celestial step¡± and fully grasped it to the Dacheng realm. And finally, he also practiced ¡®Full moon beheader¡¯ to the Dacheng realm. Now, he finally seeded in reaching the Dacheng realm of all the moves of ¡°Cold moon beheader¡±. Ye Xiwen¡¯s secret technique, the hardest to practice, hisst trump card technique ¡°Coiling Dragon palm¡± and its first move ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ was also practiced to the Dacheng realm. In other words, now, among all of the martial arts techniques that Ye Xiwen had practiced so far, only ¡°Tyrant body technique¡± was practiced to the secondyer and that too only to the Xiaocheng realm. Except this, he had already practiced all other techniques to the Dacheng realm. After reaching the Xiaocheng realm of the secondyer of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, at present, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength directly broke through the strength of 99 Dragons, attainable only by the masters at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, and reached the strength of 100 Dragons. This was the strength attainable only by the masters who sessfully achieved the Xiantian Xiao state. (NT: Xiantian Xiao means ¡®Xiantian Small state¡¯) However, by virtue of the mysterious effects of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, Ye Xiwen was able to achieve the Xiantian Xiao state and obtained the strength of 100 Dragons. Xiantian Xiao state was the state right above the peak Xiantian fifth stage. When a warrior converted 100% of the Houtian Zhen Qi present in his body into Xiantian Zhen Qi, he reached the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, but, some people could go even further. After reaching the peak of Xiantian fifth stage and transforming 100% Xiantian Zhen Qi, the warrior would feel the Xiantian Zhen Qi flowing in all parts of his body and even a swing of arm would disy the strength of 99 Dragons, and after going a step further and achieving the strength of 100 Dragons, although there was a difference of only 1 Dragon¡¯s strength, but the overall disy of strength would greatly change. Those at the Xiantian Xiao state were a lot stronger than those at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, so Ye Xiwen¡¯s fighting strength was now stronger than ever, in its top condition, and now, he was fully able to easilypete with a master at the Xiantian Xiao realm. And Mo Han was only at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage. In the arena, both long de and spear were releasing bright rays of light in abundance, and suddenly, the next instant, the two experts dashed towards each other, and under the gazes of several spectators, it seemed as if a violent storm swept out of nowhere, and in a blink of an eye, the two figures violently shed. ¡°Boom!¡± Two dazzling figures severely collided with each other causing a surge of terrifying air-explosion from the tips of their weapons and maliciously initiated a loud st, which bloomed like a lotus flower in the arena, and the very next instant, the st that had bloomed like a lotus instantly exploded and sent shock waves in all directions. ¡°Peng!¡± A figure retreated several steps in the Life and Death Arena, leaving deep footprints on the arena, and left wide cracks on the solid floor of arena. The st dispersed and everyone saw that the explosion pushed back a figure and it continuously drew back several steps away, and to everyone¡¯s surprise, it turned out to be Mo Han. Everyone called out in rm. This was simply impossible, because under the st of this violent collision, the one who was pushed back was actually Mo Han, instead of Ye Xiwen. Above the stand, Qin Muze¡¯s eyes were stubbornly staring at Ye Xiwen, with a panic-stricken look on his face and muttered: ¡°How is this possible, just how is this possible?¡± At his side, Jing Yannan was also iparably astonished. Although a moment ago, he talked in favor of Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength and potential, but he definitely did not expect that Ye Xiwen would actually be able torgely prevail over Mo Han, which left him totally dumbstruck. In the crowd surrounding the arena, the disciples of Fudi faction and Qian Yu factions had unbelievable expressions on their faces. But, for disciples of Qian Yu faction, it was more like an unquenchable pleasant surprise, although they did not know how Ye Xiwen suddenly became so strong, but there was no doubt that he was the hope of their faction and would sessfully protect the Qian Yu faction. Chapter 116 – Ye Xiwen wins Chapter 116 ¨C Ye Xiwen wins There was an awkward expression on Mo Han¡¯s face as he firmly stood on the periphery of the arena, unable to hide the consternation on his face. His present state was the result of the collision between him and Ye Xiwen, and it turned out to have such an oue, because just now, he finally came to understand the tyrannical strength of his opponent and was going through the state of reality shock. ¡°Brother Ye is really a monster!¡± Zhang Yang said with an amazed look in his eyes. Ye Feng was also incredibly looking at his younger brother. His brother unbelievably disyed such an amazing progress andpletely left him behind. Originally, during this month, he was anxious and came over to talk to Ye Xiwen many times regarding this battle. He was extremely worried and concerned about Ye Xiwen, after all, this situation of facing suppression from the senior disciples was not a new thing, this had happened many times in the past as well, and every time new disciples joined the Main Sect, there were always some proud and ambitious new disciples who would try to form their own banner, but each time, their efforts would bepletely crushed by the senior factions. Although, it was said that a lot of genius new disciples joined the Main Sect, but it didn¡¯t make much difference because they were still weakpared to the senior disciples. But for the new disciples, this was a battle for their dignity. Ye Xiwen was fighting not just for saving the existence of Qian Yu faction, but also to safeguard the dignity of the new disciples, and once he won, new disciples would be able to save their dignity, and those senior disciples would also have to ept that they must not look down on the new disciples. Like Ye Xiwen got a Xuan Jindan from the Tongtian peak for performing well in the assessment exam, Ye Feng had also been rewarded with a Xuan Jindan, and for past one month, he tried his best to meet Ye Xiwen and to give his own Xuan Jindan to Ye Xiwen, but couldn¡¯t meet him. Ye Xiwen was engaged in closed-door training and had strictly said that no one would disturb him for this one month¡¯s time. Ye Feng knew that Ye Xiwen also had a Xuan Jindan, and if coupled with his own, he would have two Xuan Jindan, then there was still hope that in a short time, he might be able to break into the Xiantian fifth stage. Although Xuan Jindan was very precious, but in his mind, how could it be more important than his precious little brother? But he did not expect that in such a short time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s battle strength would increase to such a terrifying extent. Although, originally, in his mind, Ye Xiwen had always been a strong existence, but he never knew the exact extent of his talent. Only now did he finallye to understand that by using just one Xuan Jindan, Ye Xiwen was able to surpass a master at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage. He had been unable to meet Ye Xiwen, and like everyone else, he was also totally bewildered. Ye Feng knew that this feat was absolutely not achievable for other disciples, after all, in order to break through to the peak of Xiantian third stage and also to master various martial arts techniques, a Xuan Jindan was not enough, and Ye Xiwen had to consume at least 2000 spirit stones, and without the help of Xuan Jindan, he would have to spend 4000 spirit stones, and even after that, there was no guarantee to attain such a feat. Even after endless consumption of spirit stones, he had to push himself to the absolute limit to gain his current terrifying strength. Mo Han gradually approached Ye Xiwen and his aura continued to increase dramatically, clutching the spear in his hands and pointing its tip at Ye Xiwen, he was staring firmly at Ye Xiwen. Suddenly, in the arena, in the range of ten steps around Mo Han¡¯s body, a burst of strong Xiantian Zhen Qi rushed out from his body and flooded the arena. Mo Han heavily trod on the floor of the arena, with the spear on the front, and it seemed as if his physique was taking shape of a spear, and on the spear-tip, Xiantian Zhen Qi rapidly began to condense. Combined with his incredible aura flooding out from his body, and his spear stacked with the Xiantian Zhen Qi, it seemed like his body had almost fused together with his spear. A unified man-spear literally went piercing through the air, producing a chi-chi sound, and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. This was not just the incredible might of peak Xiantian fifth stage! This was actually the man-spear unification. After getting cornered by Ye Xiwen, Mo Han felt pressurized and due to that, he was able to reach a realm that only few people were able to reach, although only for a little while, but there was no doubt that it not only increased hisbat strength, it was also going to be a great advantage for his practice. The man-spear unification! Once again, looking at this scene, the members of Fudi faction suddenly became excited and started cheering for their deputy-main, and the new disciples of Qian Yu faction were in inexplicable horror. Bing one with the spear was a realm only a handful people could achieve, and after achieving this state, the strength attained was not a joke. There were those who practiced martial arts for a lifetime but still couldn¡¯t achieve the realm of man-spear unification. For an expert to reach this realm, he would need toprehend numerous levels of understanding about the weapon¡¯s martial arts technique, and inherent talent was also a must. Facing a terrifying opponent like Ye Xiwen, Mo Han was unable to cope up with him and was forced into a corner, and under such a pressurized state, he finally achieved the realm of unity with his spear, which shocked everyone who was watching this battle, especially the members of the Fudi faction. ¡°Good, good!¡± Qin Muze looked at Mo Han, suddenlyughed loudly and said, ¡°I value worthy people!¡± Man-spear unification, among so many disciples in the Yi Yuan School, not many could reach this state. Even if it was only for a brief moment, he would attain great strength. He never thought that a member of his own faction would be able to attain such a rare realm. Qin Muze was extremely happy and suddenlyughed. Now, even if Mo Han lost in the battle and his faction lost face, he wouldn¡¯t care because thanks to this battle, he could gain such a formidable deputy-main for his faction, so in the end, this was not that big of a loss. ¡°Do not get too happy.¡± Jing Yannan said to Qin Muze. Facing the fierce attack of Mo Han, Ye Xiwen did not directly shed with him this time, because the strength of Man-spear unification was enormous, and even if it was just for a moment, direct confrontation was unwise, so with a burst of Zhen Qi under his feet, his figure instantly and strangely disappeared from the spot he was standing. Mo Han¡¯s man spear unification attack was aimed at Ye Xiwen, but with a sudden loss of target, hisplexion immediately changed, because the serious w of this man-spear unification attack was that it was necessary to clearly pinpoint the target, but right that instant, he just saw a faint trace of cyan colored figure and was instantly rmed. An idea shed like ??lightning in Mo Han¡¯s mind, and he suddenly turned 180 degrees along with his spear, and violently thrust his spear towards the blind-spot behind him. ¡°Pierce!¡± A crisp sound resounded and sparks scattered everywhere under the horrifying disy of strength, and their two shares of fierce Xiantian Zhen Qi started to continuously spread out. Mo Han had immediately turned back and thrust his spear at the long de chopped out at his back, and at this time, the long de contained a tyrannical strength, and it turned out to be so massive that the spear actually bent a little under its terrifying weight. Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure finally appeared behind the long de and there was a faint smile on his face, because, this man-spear unification attack was indeed very powerful, but in the end, the final victory depended on who sessfully disyed his full strength. The sudden disappearance of Ye Xiwen failed Mo Han¡¯s initial attack, and right now, he was almost caught off guard by Ye Xiwen! Mo Han was iparably scared because even after achieving the man-spear unification, he was still getting pressed down by Ye Xiwen and couldn¡¯t fully take hold of the battle as he originally intended to. Without any hesitation, Ye Xiwen immediately chopped out his long de fiercely against Mo Han, which produced an extremely oppressive piercing sound, and epassing the heavy and terrifying strength within itself, the long de danced in his hand and heavily shed with the spear of Mo Han and immediately deflected it to one side and Mo Han was forcefully pushed away by the terrifying strength present in Ye Xiwen¡¯s de strike, and right this instant, Mo Han felt pressurized and couldn¡¯t maintain his man-spear unification state and came out of it. Aftering out of man-spear unification realm, the oue of this battle immediately became apparent to everyone! Mo Han was sted all the way back and Ye Xiwen took advantage of this and mercilessly swung the backside of his long de at him. ¡°Bang!¡± Mo Han was severely thrown back and directly went flying out of the arena several meters away! Everyone was silent! Ye Xiwen won! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 117 – Comparable to seed disciples Chapter 117 ¨C Comparable to seed disciples A silence spread on the scene, and many people hadplicated feelings in their hearts. They never expected this oue, but they just witnessed the disy of Ye Xiwen¡¯s incredible strength, which simply left them bbergasted. A moment ago, Mo Han sessfully achieved the man-spear unification and reignited their hopes of hiseback, but within a sh, he was so easily beaten by Ye Xiwen that it was simply uneptable. Even if his strength increased by leaps and bounds after entering into the realm of man-spear unification, he still couldn¡¯t change anything and thoroughly lost the battle. Qian Yu faction was made up of only new disciples, and the past few months were the most difficult times for them, but now, at least no one would bully them anymore, which was the result of the terms of battle and many powerful influences were witness to them. The new disciples of Qian Yu faction as well as other new disciples were happily shouting in abundance. To them, this was simply a miracle, they won, they actually won. ¡°He actually won the battle against Mo Han, you know, Mo Han¡¯s name was once on the list of the seed disciples, and even if now he is not in the ranking list of seed disciples, but he can still be considered a quasi-seed level disciple.¡± ¡°But didn¡¯t you just see that during the battle, Mo Han entered into the realm of man-spear unification, but he was still sted away by Ye Xiwen¡¯s de. These new disciples are really too tyrannical and this Ye Xiwen is almostparable to those seed disciples.¡± ¡°How can this new disciple be such an evildoer? He had just joined the Main Sect and his strength is alreadyparable to that of those seed disciples. You know, almost all of the seed disciples are evildoers and are masters of the Xiantian Xiao realm!¡± On a high tform a distant ce from the arena, Qin Muze turned around, and did not continue to look towards the arena, and lightly said: ¡°Well, this time I misjudged.¡± However, right now, there was smile hanging on his face. He witnessed the amazing potential of Ye Xiwen and he saw it with his own eyes. Who was Ye Xiwen? Just a new disciple who joined the Main Sect few months ago and he easily defeated a master of peak Xiantian fifth stage, and looking at his incredible potential, it was not hard to guess that he would undoubtedly be a true disciple in the future, and if Fudi faction would have continued to irritate Ye Xiwen and his faction then he might have settled scores with their faction in the future so it was definitely a very wise choice to allow this battle. Now, he was aware that he must not offend Ye Xiwen at any cost. Not to mention, due to this battle, his faction¡¯s deputy-main unexpectedly obtained a formidable new strength of man-spear unification realm, which was definitely a major harvest for this faction. Now, his faction¡¯s strength would increase considerably and looking at this, one could say that he didn¡¯t particr lose much, rather gained a lot. Ye Xiwen came out of the arena, and immediately, the happy looking new disciples of Qian Yu faction surrounded him and started to exim loudly and chaotically. It was the time of celebration for them and Ye Xiwen immediately became the center of their attention. ¡°Brother Ye, this time we really want to thank you.¡± Yan Chiling said in a pleasantly surprised tone. He just never thought that Ye Xiwen would really be able to win. Now, it was getting difficult for him to digest this fact that Ye Xiwen won and his Qian Yu was safe now and so was his position as its leader. Before Ye Xiwen could say something, Ye Ruxue said in a somewhat proud manner: ¡°That was naturally expected, whose little brother you think he is!¡± Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry after hearing his sister¡¯s remark. Was she trying to praise him, or boasting about herself! Unlike these people, Ye Ruxue was the only one who was least worried about Ye Xiwen and had extraordinary confidence in him. ¡°Let¡¯s go everyone and collect the spirit stones we just won!¡± At this time, the disciples of Qian Yu faction shouted together. While shouting and celebrating the victory of Ye Xiwen, everyone suddenly remembered that this time, they didn¡¯t just win their dignity and independence, but also a lot of spirit stones. An intense anger was suppressed inside them after continuously getting bullied by the senior disciples, but in a sh, it all disappeared thanks to Ye Xiwen, and in addition to that, they also earned back a lot of spirit stones. Apensation of 10 was ced on Ye Xiwen, and now that he won, everyone who betted in his favor won ten times the amount of betted spirit stones. For these new disciples, this was not a small fortune, in fact, it was arge sum of money, and could be said that they became rich overnight, which made these disciples even happier. Of course, some disciples earned morepared to other, like Ye Feng and Ye Ruxue, who betted a lot of spirit stones in favor of Ye Xiwen and got ten times in return. Suddenly, they became very rich, one of the wealthiest inner disciples. Of course, among these people, the one who earned the most was Ye Xiwen. He had betted 5000 spirit stones in his favor, and now, all of a sudden, it increased tenfold, reaching 50,000 spirit stones. This amount was so huge that it could be said that for many disciples, this was equivalent to their lifetime umted wealth. Even for Ye Xiwen, this wealth was enough to help him practice to the Xiantian fifth stage or above and he would still not have to worry about spirit stones. No wonder, even those true disciples opened gambling houses to amass money, because this money-making speed was simply terrifying. Although Ye Xiwen earned a lot this time, but the one who made the most profit was actually the gambling disciple, because he kept all the spirit stones betted in favor of Mo Han and a lot of people had betted huge amounts of spirit stones in his favor. Although the gambling house must pay ten timespensation to Ye Xiwen and others who betted in his favor but only a few people had betted in favor of Ye Xiwen, so even after paying ten times the spirit stones to them, the gambling house still earned a lot of spirit stones. If it was a core disciple, then with so much spirit stones, he would be filthy rich overnight, but behind these gambling houses were actually the true disciples, and although the earned amount was huge, but it was still nothingpared to the riches of a true disciple. All of the new disciples were happy and in a carefree mood. Since joining the Main Sect, they never got a chance to enjoy like this and were also frequently bullied, especially those who were already in the Xiantian realm in their respective sub-schools and were considered elite among the elites. But right after joining the Main Sect, they had to face suppression and were also bullied and felt suffocated in this new environment. Now, atst, they again felt proud and ted and as long as Ye Xiwen was their leader, who would dare to underestimate this session¡¯s neers. Now many people were guessing that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength wasparable to that of the seed disciples, the top 100 inner disciples among several thousand inner disciples. By getting counted in the top 100 inner disciples, one could imagine how tyrannical these seeds disciples actually were. These 100 seed disciples were super strong, and even if they were still the inner disciples of the Main Sect, their strength was tyrannical and had even defeated some of the core disciples, disying their enormous strength. If a strong expert like Ye Xiwen assumedmand over the Qian Yu faction then its base would be rock solid, and at least, no one woulde and bully them anymore. It was true that Qian Yu faction was nothing more than one of the many factions in the Main Sect, and it was still nothing. It was a faction created by the new disciples and led by a new disciple, but this battle was like a warning for many other factions that if they tried to suppress Qian Yu faction then they would have to pass through an iron wall named Ye Xiwen, who held the potential to be a true disciple in the future. However, after seeing Ye Xiwen¡¯s tyrannical strength, those senior disciples finally realized that he was not a chicken, but a lion, although still young, but already had fangs and ws, and if they were not careful then it could scratch and hurt them. Ye Xiwen already knew about the matter of seed disciples, and even it was true that his strength was nowparable to that of those seed disciples, but they were extremely strong and many had even beaten some of the core disciples. They simply stood at the pinnacle of inner disciples and Ye Xiwen was still a new disciple. ¡°Ye Xiwen!¡± When everyone was celebrating his victory, Mo Han¡¯s voice came from behind. ¡°Although I lost to you this time, but after three months, in the seed disciple¡¯s tournament, I will defeat you and take revenge for today!¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Thanks everyone for waiting patiently for so long. Thanks to those as well who sent me hate mails everyday haha. Pending chapters cane on any day and in any numbers. Enjoy!) Chapter 118 – Bai Mojiao Chapter 118 ¨C Bai Mojiao ¡°Although I lost to you this time, but after three months, in the seed disciple tournament, I will defeat you and take revenge for today!¡± Mo Han looked at Ye Xiwen and said. There were only 100 seed inner disciples in the Yi Yuan School, but it was not fixed. Almost every year, there would be a seed disciple tournament and thousands of disciples would participate in this tournament topete for the title of seed disciple, and not just because the title of a seed¡¯s disciple was pleasant to hear, but their treatment and welfare was far better than many of the core disciples. Mo Han¡¯s words clearly implied that Ye Xiwen had enough strength, that after three months, he would definitely be able to participate in the seed disciple tournament, but after reaching the realm of man-spear unification, he was now confident that after three months, his own strength would increase once again by leaps and bounds and he would certainly enter into the realm of Xiantian Xiao, and at that time, he would be stronger than Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen had also heard about the seed disciple tournament, because for inner disciples, to be able to be a seed disciple was a great achievement, and deep down in their hearts, all of them wanted to be seed disciples. Every year, during the seed disciple tournament, new participant woulde to try their luck and achieve this glory of shining above the others. Ye Xiwen never thought that he would be able to participate in the Seed disciple tournament in such a short period of time. Earlier, in his ns, he anticipated that he might be able to participate in Seed disciple tournament ining five years, but he never expected to have such a high speed progress in strength. No wonder so many people came to practice in the Main Sect, where the advancement in cultivation was way fasterpared to the sub-schools, to the point of inconceivable rate of progress. After saying those words, Mo Han did not wait for Ye Xiwen¡¯s answer and under the supporting arms of the disciples of Fudi faction, he immediately left. ¡°Seed disciple tournament?¡± Many disciples of Qian Yu faction slightly gawked and were totally surprised after hearing the words of Mo Han. It was by no means that they didn¡¯t know how big a tournament it actually was, but it was still a long way from them. Even for geniuses like Ye Feng and others, at least five-six years were needed to be strong enough to have any chance in the Seed disciple tournament, as to them, even the span of 30 or 40 years was nothing inparison to the lifespan of 200 years granted by the Xiantian realm. ¡°Little brother, you must participate in this Seed disciple tournament. It would be awesome if you enter into the ranks of top 100 inner disciples, especially for the reputation of us new disciples!¡± Ye Ruxue patted the shoulder of Ye Xiwen and said. At the same time, nearby, a somewhat depressed senior disciple was thinking that defeating Mo Han was not enough, now he was nning to participate in the Seed disciple tournament, in thest hundred years, a new disciple had never been so audacious! Ye Xiwen listened, smiled, but did not say anything, because at his current state, he would be able to participate in the Seed disciple tournament, but he would have to struggle a bit while fighting the seed disciples, and even after that, he would not be able toe in the top ranks, only hanging in the end, although for the new disciples, it was still glorious enough, but for Ye Xiwen, it was only better than nothing. Everyone went to the establishment of the gambling disciple, who had just now made a great fortune thanks to the unexpected victory of Ye Xiwen, and with a refreshing look on his face, he paid 10 times the betted spirit stones to those who had betted in favor of Ye Xiwen. After betting 5000 sprit stones and winning 50,000 spirit stones back, all of a sudden, Ye Xiwen became filthy rich overnight, and many senior disciples were looking enviously at him. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t mind them and quickly put all the 50,000 spirit stones into his storage ring. After receiving so many spirit stones, for a long time, Ye Xiwen would not have to worry about the consumption of the spirit stones. From the time he crossed through to this world, Ye Xiwen himself had to admit that his earning rate was very fast, but his spending speed of spirit stones was even faster, almost fast to the point of exaggeration from the point of view of an ordinary disciple, and even if it was a core disciple, they would also find this consumption rate nothing less than exaggeration. But, the requirements of the ¡®Special Space¡¯ were just too great to sate for Ye Xiwen. Even if Ye Xiwen must go all out on the road to desperately earn the spirit stones, he would still be able to practice faster than others after gaining the spirit stones, however for other disciples, if they constantly move back and forth on the road to earning spirit stones, then they would certainly see a significant decline in their practice speed, in addition to that, their absorption rate of spirit stones was also very slow. Only Ye Xiwen could desperately earn spirit stones while maintaining a very fast practice speed, moreover for Ye Xiwen, the more the spirit stones, the faster his practice speed would be, so one could say that he was an exception who could disy such a kind of unique way of rapid practice speed and strength growth. When Ye Xiwen, the representative of Qian Yu faction, formed by the new disciples, defeated Mo Han, many enemy factions, who were originally against the Qian Yu faction, publicly dered that they wouldn¡¯t cause anymore troubles for Qian Yu faction, and after that, Qian Yu faction went on a path to rapid expansion, because in addition to the disciples of Tongtian peak, all of a sudden, it¡¯s reach extended towards the other 9 top peaks as well. The new disciples of this year¡¯s 7 high-ranked sub-schools joined the Qian Yu faction. Moreover, more than 30% of State¡¯s major influences also joined the Qian Yu faction. In a short time, the member count of Qian Yu faction exceeded the mark of 1000, and soon reached the mark of more than 2000 disciples. Suddenly, Qian Yu faction gained a prestige among the other faction and this attracted the attention of a lot of disciples. The new disciples felt a natural sense of intimacy towards the Qian Yu factionpared to other factions, although they all knew that as far as development was concerned, the Qian Yu faction was just an emerging faction and was naturally notparable to the senior factions, and the potential for their own development would also be restricted if they joined the Qian Yu faction. If they could join the other factions then they might have a better chance of growth, but these new disciples had been cultivated as geniuses in their respective sub-schools and other outside influential ns and wanted to build their career themselves through hard work. In addition to that, Qian Yu faction had Ye Xiwen, whose strength wasparable to those seed disciples, so it naturally attracted many people toe. Also, this year¡¯s top new disciples like Yan Chiling, Ye Feng and Zhangsun Yuyin had also joined the Qian Yu faction and their reputations also worked towards attracting the attention of a lot of new disciples. However, so far, only new disciples had joined the Qian Yu faction, while the senior disciples were still waiting and watching from the sidelines. When the disciples of Qian Yu faction were excited at the sudden fame, development and expansion of Qian Yu faction, suddenly, a rumor quickly spread throughout the Yi Yuan School. After remaining dormant for 100 years, the followers of Bai Mojiao finally appeared once again on arge scale in many parts of the Great Yue State. The news suddenly caused sudden uproar in the Yi Yuan School. (NT: Bai Mojiao means ¡®Devil worship¡¯) When Ye Xiwen heard this news, he got a feeling of storm clouds approaching. The matter about the Bai Mojiao rapidly started to spread in the Yi Yuan School and stirred the new disciples. The senior disciples, who had spent almost 100 years in the Main Sect, began to exin things about the Bai Mojiao to the new disciples. Hundred years ago, Bai Mojiao was a big organization of devil worshippers that had proliferated throughout the Zhen Wu Jie. (NT: Zhen Wu Jie is the name of this world) In Zhen Wu Jie, the prestigious ns and Sects didn¡¯t strictly discriminate between ¡®Xiedao¡¯ and ¡®Modao¡¯, for example Xueling Sect, one of the fourrge Sects of the Great Yue State, was considered as Sect of ¡®Xiemowaidao¡¯, but was still ranked among one of the fourrge Sects. (NT: Xiedao: Evil way Xiemowaidao: Devil followers Modao: Devil way (practiced by Devil worshippers) Wudao: Martial way) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 119 – Young Marquis Chapter 119 ¨C Young Marquis Xueling Sect, one of the fourrge Sects, was considered as thergest Sect where Xiedao was practiced by the disciples, and there were rumors that long time ago, in Zhen Wu Jie, ¡®Modao¡¯ didn¡¯t exist and humans practiced only ¡®Xiedao¡¯. (NT: Modao= Devil way; Xiedao= Evil way) ording to legend, long time ago, the Devil world had invaded Zhen Wu Jie, and had caused havoc in this world. It was a great disaster, and although devil world¡¯s attack was repulsed, but during the long duration of this major cataclysm, Devil world had seeded in sowing the seeds of ¡®Modao¡¯ in Zhen Wu Jie, giving birth to the existence of devil warriors. When the Devil world had invaded Zhen Wu Jie, many human warriors had fallen prey to the magic of devil race and had been confused which degenerated their morality, causing them to be depraved warriors and also started practicing the ¡®Modao¡¯ and devil race¡¯s power techniques, which were also practiced by the Modaoists nowadays. In Zhen Wu Jie, the disciples who practiced Xiedao were not considered depraved by the people, but the disciples who practiced Modao were not epted by the society and Modaoists were not weed by most people. In fact, among all the Sects who taught Modao to their disciples, Bai Mojiao was the most notorious one. Bai Mojiao, as the name suggested, was an organization whose sole motive was to spread the religion of worshipping the devil and advocating the Devil world¡¯s rule in Zhen Wu Jie. It was said that the Lord of Bai Mojiao was actually dedicated to the sovereign King of Devil world, and there were also many legends about great Devil Lords, Devil Gods etc. Bai Mojiao¡¯s main objective was to use any means to open the doors of this world for the devil race toe in from the Devil world, so it was no wonder that everyone was panicking by the sudden return of Bai Mojiao. Hundreds of years ago, Bai Mojiao had staged a rebellion in the Great Yue State, and manyrge forces had coborated to suppress this rebellion. No one expected that just hundred yearster, Bai Mojiao would revive once again and started causing trouble. Regarding Bai Mojiao, many disciples did not have favorable impression, after all, no one wanted to fight with the devil race. Then, several rumors and news spread throughout the Yi Yuan School, and overnight, various matters rted to Bai Mojiao were dug out and came in front of everyone. Including the case where many sub-school disciples had been attacked and disappeared on the way to the Main Sect and now the news spread that it was also Bai Mojiao¡¯s doing. And with the unexpected resurfacing of a notorious organization like Bai Mojiao, Yi Yuan School and other major powers would coborate together topletely crush Bai Mojiao. All sorts of Bai Mojiao rted missions could be seen hanging in the Gongde pce. Rewards were also very high. For beheading a Houtian level Bai Mojiao follower, one could get a reward of 1 spirit stone, and for beheading Xiantian level Bai Mojiao followers, one could receive 10 to 100 spirit stones as reward. However, for beheading a Xiantian fifth stage follower or above, the reward was quite high, in the range of 100 to 1000 spirit stones. It could be said that with the sudden reemergence of Bai Mojiao, it was as if Yi Yuan School was literally bleeding money to subjugate them before the situation got worse. For so many spirit stones as reward, Ye Xiwen was also very excited, becausepared with his own ways of umtion of spirit stones using various means, which were quite slow, it was rather convenient for him to behead the Bai Mojiao followers and gain a lot of spirit stones as rewards, and not just that, his cultivation would also strive and increase in his fights with them. And the spirit stones received as rewards would eventually also elerate his cultivation growth, so it could be described as achieving several results in one fell swoop. After making the decision, Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and immediately went to the Gongde Pce of the Main Sect. No matter how many times he came to the Gongde pce, he would still feel amazed looking at its grandiosepared to the Gongde Pce of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school which looked insignificant inparison. Because of Bai Mojiao¡¯s matter, Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect had given out many missions, and they were currently being disyed in the Gongde Pce. Many disciples were frequentlying to pick up Bai Mojiao rted missions. Ye Xiwen took a close look at these missions. There were missions about probing the hideouts of Bai Mojiao in the Great Yue State, beheading the followers of Bai Mojiao who had already appeared and started to rebel in certain regions. Each of these missions had different difficulty levels and people were naturally choosing missions ording to their own capabilities. Yi Yuan School was unusually attaching great importance to this matter ofeback of Bai Mojiao, because reportedly, hundreds of true disciples had already taken nearly half of the high difficulty missions and went to different regions of the Great Yue State to behead those devil worshippers. Ye Xiwen swept his eyes through the missions and chose a suitable one in which a master was required to trample the stronghold of Bai Mojiao followers. He must start immediately because one person was allowed to take only one mission, and this time, due to the special matter of Bai Mojiao, there was no time limit on the missions and one could ept missions until thest Bai Mojiao rted mission was sessfullypleted. He needed to act fast and now itself otherwise anymore dy would incur serious losses for him as he might lose the chance to earn as many spirit stones as he could during this Bai Mojiao uproar. He left the Gongde Pce and arrived halfway up the mountainside. ¡°Are you the one named Ye Xiwen?¡± At this time, a somewhat contemptuous voice resounded from behind. Ye Xiwen turned to look, not far away from him, seven or eight disciples were standing in a group, led by a dignified and imposing looking youth, on his face, there was a sort of arrogance and disdain. However, Ye Xiwen was quite surprised to find that the disciples behind that arrogant youth were actually those seven masters whom he had run into during the assessment examination. The so-called inevitable sh between the enemies, and even if originally there was nothing between the two sides, but now, it could be said that this enmity had be quite strong. ¡°I am.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. Ye Xiwen nced at them, and after reaching the Dacheng realm of ¡®Restraining breath technique¡¯, without putting any effort, hepletely understood the breaths of these people. He instantly saw through their strengths, and ording to his estimation, the youth who seemed to be leading this group had entered one step into the Xiantian Xiao realm. And, even the strength of those seven masters, who had intercepted him during the assessment examination, had shown great progress, and all of them had reached the peak of Xiantian third stage. These sharp-eyed disciples, with their de-like sharp gazes, were looking at Ye Xiwen, and it seemed as if their gazes would cut open a hole in his body. It was said some experts could use their gazes to kill people and it was not a myth. There were a lot of masters whose gazes could congeal a piercing attack that could instantly kill a person. ¡°Ye Xiwen, standing in front of you is the Young Marquis, how dare you not kneel down to greet him.¡± Among the seven people, the diminutive youth coldly said to Ye Xiwen with a sh of hatred in his eyes. ¡°What a joke, this is Yi Yuan School, and you actually want to use power to fetter me? Whatever he is, he cannot make me kneel down in front of anyone.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. Ye Xiwen reckoned that there were a lot of children in the imperial family of Great Yue State, but most of them were not the direct descendants, and everyone was aware of the fact that there were many secret power techniques inherited only by the direct descendants, and this was the reason why these direct descendants must enter the imperial schools to prevent these secret power techniques to go into the hands of the outsiders. So, only the children of branch ns would join other Sects. So this title of Young Marquis was mostly self-proimed and nothing else! Moreover, Yi Yuan School was also a big power on equal footing with the imperial n of Great Yue State, so exploiting the secr powers to constrain a disciple of the Yi Yuan School was even more of a joke. ¡°I heard that there is a particrly arrogant man among this year¡¯s new disciples iming to beparable to the seed disciples but I did not think that you are even arrogant than the rumors.¡± The Young Marquis said. ¡°Well, why don¡¯t you mind your own business, I don¡¯t care whether you are the Young Marquis or whatever, trying to use your power and prestige in the Yi Yuan School is really a joke.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said in a disrespecting tone as if he simply didn¡¯t care about the Young Marquis. ¡°You are courting death!¡± The Young Marquis suddenly became furious and with an extremely cold look in his eyes, he rushed towards Ye Xiwen. (NT: Thanks everyone for bearing with my irregrity. I will continue to release chapters whenever I get free time. You will get all the pending chapters and they cane on any day and in any numbers.) Chapter 120 – Pseudo spiritual tool Chapter 120 ¨C Pseudo spiritual tool The Young Marquis¡¯s fist arrived directly in front of Ye Xiwen, and with just a look, one could say that it was an overbearing fist technique, and as his punch sted, the Zhen Qi surged out of his body and flooded the surrounding area. With a burst of Zhen Qi under his feet, Ye Xiwen instantlyunched the celestial step and while disying the might of celestial step technique, practiced to the Dacheng realm, in a sh, he took several mysterious steps with his clothes floating all over in the wind, and he very smoothly and gracefully avoided the fist of Young Marquis. Then, immediately, Ye Xiwen shot his palm which instantly caused an explosion like the thunder and lightning, and the thunder-like Zhen Qi wrapped on the palms of Ye Xiwen instantly sted vigorously. With a loud shout, he instantly shot Rushing thunder hand, and it seemed like a group of thunder and lightning had directly impacted. ¡°How is this possible!¡± There were expressions of disbelief on the faces of the seven masters, ¡°How can his strength increase to such an extent!¡± When the seven masters saw this palm technique, suddenly, cold sweat started dripping down from their foreheads. If by chance, right now, they were fighting Ye Xiwen, then right this very instant, facing his tyrannical palm attack, they would have instantly been exploded to bits. Although they knew that Ye Xiwen had defeated Mo Han in the battle, however earlier, during the assessment examination, Ye Xiwen had broken through right in front of them, and in their opinion, he was a strong expert, but it was impossible for them to digest the rumors about him having achieved the Xiantian Xiao realm. However, just now, they witnessed his strength of Xiantian Xiao realm whichpletely blew their minds and threw their hearts into chaos. And Young Marquis simply never expected that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength would actually be so formidable. He had always listened to the seven masters and ording to them, Ye Xiwen had a false reputation but his strength was fiercer than those seven masters, but now, he finally realized how ridiculously wrong they all were to underestimate Ye Xiwen. The tyrannical strength of Ye Xiwen was far beyond the imagination of the Young Marquis and he was certain that this kind of strength was impossible for inner disciples to attain and only seed disciples could disy such strength. However, at this time, he couldn¡¯t achieve anything byining, so he quickly folded his arms around his chest and instantly congealed an iron wall-like moon-shaped protection barrier and prepared himself to receive the palm attack of Ye Xiwen arriving at his chest. For others, it was like an impregnable iron defense. ¡°Want to defend?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and sped up the Rushing thunder hand by several times, and in an instant, it fiercely and urately sted into the chest of the Young Marquis. Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡®Rushing thunder hand¡¯ attack instantly pierced right through the Young Marquis¡¯s iron defense, and shot into his chest. ¡°Bang!¡± Apanied with a sudden and violent thunderp sound, the body of Young Marquis was instantly sted away, soared high in the sky, and severely fell on the ground. The Young Marquis¡¯s body severely hit the ground, his blood sprayed out, and he looked at Ye Xiwen, with an ominous color shing in his eyes, then suddenly, from his body, a cold light flickered, and almost in a sh, a ck light suddenly arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen was taken aback for an instant, and he immediately understood that this cold brightness was no trivial matter. He quickly raised his hand to block, and at the same time, he also chopped out a delight. ¡°Bang!¡± The delight maliciously collided with that cold ck light and Ye Xiwen suddenly felt an enormous force emitting out from that cold light, which almost made him to lose grip on his long de. That cold bright light fell on the ground, and when Ye Xiwen took a look at it, he saw that it was actually a double-edged flying sword, exuding a touch of spiritual pressure, and to be specific, it was actually a double-edged spiritual tool, but right now, this double-edged flying sword was full of cracks. A moment ago, this double-edged flying sword severely shed with Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de and with a loud rumbling sound, several cracks appeared on it. Ye Xiwen looked at his long de, which was unexpectedly the same as before, glowing with a sharp and prating coldness, without a single crack on its surface, and was secretly amazed. In the cave of Iron back silver apes, he had found this long de from a pile of a lot of decayed and rusted weapons, because back then, he had taken a fancy to this long de, but did not know the origins of this weapon. He never thought that it would actually be so terrible that it would shatter a spiritual tool in one blow. These weapons were generally divided into ordinary weapons, magical weapons and spiritual tools, while the spiritual tools were divided into low-grade spiritual tools, high-grade spiritual tools and top grade spiritual tools. Generally, the Houtian level warriors used the so-called ordinary weapons. These weapons were made up of iron, and could easily be scrapped, requiring constant tinkering. Considering the ranking of weapons, right above ordinary weapons were the so-called magical weapons, generally used by the warriors at the peak of Houtian ninth stage and above, as well as, by the warriors at the Xiantian fifth stage and below. A lot of rare materials were required to create magical weapons like hundred years old cold iron and so on, andpared with ordinary weapons, magical weapons were a lot stronger and more rugged. Iparably sharp, could cut even high standard magical weapons, Ye Xiwen always thought this his long de was only a high quality magical weapon, because none of the ordinary weapons had ever been able to put even a scratch on it, and with just a single strike, his long de had scrapped several magical weapons before, but just now, his long de actually scrapped a spiritual tool. There was no spiritual aura present in the long de like it generally was present in spiritual tools, implying that his long de was not a spiritual tool, so Ye Xiwen assumed that it was a magical weapon. However, in the collision just now, it immediately chopped down and scrapped a double-edged flying sword spiritual tool. He could not say much about its sharpness, but he witnessed the extraordinary firmness of the long de with his own eyes. That double-edged flying sword cracked by its own power of counter-shaking, showing the extraordinary toughness of Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de! However, a thought suddenly turned up in his mind. This Young Marquis had definitely not reached the Xiantian sixth stage, and still hadn¡¯t transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi into Xiantian Zhen Yuan, then how it was possible for him to manipte the spiritual tool. Spiritual tools could only be operated and manipted by Xiantian sixth stage masters and above. If someone wanted to manipte a spiritual tool, then, first of all, it was necessary to have Zhen Yuan and only Xiantian sixth stage warriors and above could transform Xiantian Zhen Qi into Zhen Yuan, and using this Zhen Yuan, they could operate spiritual tools. So in other words, this double-edged flying sword should not be a true spiritual tool, but the so-called pseudo-spiritual tool. A pseudo-spiritual tool was a weapon ranked just above the magical weapons and just below true spiritual tools, and possessed a part of the spiritual characteristics. The power a pseudo-spiritual tool possessed was obviously far less than the true spiritual tools, but the advantage was that it was very easy to manipte and even warriors who had not yet reached the Xiantian sixth stage could use them. But even so, the pseudo-spiritual tools were absolutely valuable, and only hundred or two hundred disciples from among tens of thousands of disciples probably had pseudo-spiritual tools. Only those top disciples kept pseudo-spiritual tools that were rich enough to buy them. Suddenly, the Young Marquis spurted out a mouthful of blood. Even if this spiritual tool was just a pseudo-spiritual tool, but there was still a trace of Yuan Shen attached to it. When Ye Xiwen scrapped the double-edged flying sword, he also thoroughly annihted the spiritual link of Yuan Shen between the weapon and Young Marquis, and in addition to that, he had just received a palm attack from Ye Xiwen, so it was more like an injury over an injury, so he simply fainted altogether. ¡°Young Marquis!¡± The seven masters suddenly called out in rm. They never thought that Young Marquis¡¯s pseudo-spiritual tool would not be able to hurt Ye Xiwen, and Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de would actually chop down and shatter a precious pseudo-spiritual tool in just one strike. Ye Xiwen stepped forward and while coldly staring at those seven people, he said in a calm and cold voice: ¡°Say,st time, who directed you to deal with me.¡± ¡ª- (NT: This is thest release for today. I wille next time with another set of chapters, Enjoy!) Chapter 121 – Bai Mojiao stronghold Chapter 121 ¨C Bai Mojiao stronghold Ye Xiwen stepped forward and while coldly staring at those seven people, he said in a calm and cold voice: ¡°Say,st time, who directed you to deal with me.¡± During the assessment exam itself, Ye Xiwen had naturally spected who was the mastermind behind all this, but there was no opportunity to confirm his spection, so this time, he must take advantage of this favorable situation to ask them and confirm his guess. ¡°No one¡¯s directing us, what are you talking about?¡± The Chinese-robed man standing in the middle said obstinately in an argumentative manner. ¡°It¡¯s Hu Yanghang right?¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said and discovered subtle changes in theplexions of these seven masters, along with somewhat consternation and astonishment, albeit fleeting. But it was enough for Ye Xiwen to confirm his spection! ¡°Well you can choose not to answer, although I can¡¯t kill you here, but I can still crush all the bones in your bodies.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said, because for these seven people, he did not have a favorable impression, and he was not in a mood to show them mercy, after all, these seven masters ganged up and tried to intercept him twice, and if it was an average person facing them, then he would have long been crippled by them. There was no fair y in seven people ganging up on one guy. As soon as the seven masters heard him, theirplexions suddenly paled, because they could sense his resolute killing rage. Counting this time, they had already seen Ye Xiwen¡¯s fierceness twice, and they were aware of the fact that if they were not on the Tongtian peak, but somewhere outside the Yi Yuan School, then they absolutely couldn¡¯t escape from the clutches of a killing god like Ye Xiwen. They never thought that they would be forced to repeatedly intercept him when they were already aware of his ruthlessness. They knew that Ye Xiwen was definitely not a merciful guy, and on top of that, they had dared to intercept him twice, and because of this, they felt that Ye Xiwen might actually do what he just said. ¡°Yes, yes, it was Brother Hu!¡± At this time a disciple could not bear the intense pressure and killing intent released by Ye Xiwen and finally confessed out loud. Immediately, theplexions of other disciples darkened, because they revealed the name of Hu Yanghang, an influential core disciple, and from now onwards, things were going to be tough for them in the Yi Yuan School! Although Hu Yanghang might not care whether Ye Xiwen knew that he was the real mastermind nning things behind-the-scenes, but he was an entric man, and it was hard to predict his mood. By the time they would start following Hu Yanghang, forget the benefits they would get by being at his side, perhaps he might torment them to death. Although they still hadn¡¯t followed Hu Yanghang for too long, but they were well aware of his cold disposition. However, at this time, Ye Xiwen had no desire to haggle over with them, so he just picked up the pseudo-spiritual tool from ground and turned around to leave. Although the body of this pseudo-spiritual tool was densely covered in cracks, but without a doubt, even if it couldn¡¯t be fixed, it was still a pseudo-spiritual tool and could fetch him a price of at least 10,000 spirit stones. There were unsightlyplexions on the faces of these seven masters as Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure was moving farther away from them, but none of them actually dared to pursue him, after all even Young Marquis lost to him so what could they possibly do. After walking for a while, under the foot of a mountain, Ye Xiwen whistled and a huge red-crowned crane immediately flew down from the sky. It was a well trained crane, and after years of training, it would fully understand the instructions of Ye Xiwen through their interlinked minds. After he got on the crane, it pped its wings and immediately flew out, drawing traces of lines in the sky. ¡ª¡ª The wind was cold, fierce howling could be heard, and although Sun was high in the sky, but chilled wind was intermittently blowing. It was an extremely strange atmosphere and could make anyone to break into cold sweat. There was a deste scene everywhere, the sandstorm was blowing, confusing the human eyes, and crows were cawing above the withered vines entangled on the trees. Ye Xiwen was walking on the trail as mentioned in the mission, and there was supposed to be a vige not far away from there, but he couldn¡¯t see any vitality in the surrounding areas, just dead air was present everywhere. ording to information present in the mission he received from Yi Yuan School, the Bai Mojiao stronghold was located not far away from that vige, somewhere in this area where Ye Xiwen was currently taking a stroll. Although, the followers of Bai Mojiao were actually human beings, but their acting style and conduct had slowly drifted closer towards the devil race. These followers practiced the power techniques based on Modao, introduced in this world by the devil race long ago, and their ultimate goal was to break through the void and ascend to the devil world. The followers of Bai Mojiao were still humans in flesh and bones but couldn¡¯t be regarded as humans anymore rather should be regarded as devils. The area of their establishment, in basically a 500 km radius, was generally deste and uninhabited by humans, and finding them was also very simple because they would travelrge distances in search of humans and very few followers of Bai Mojiao hid their trails. Also the followers of Bai Mojiao practiced cultivation methods that required human essence as practice materials which in turn helped in increasing their cultivation by leaps and bounds, and after refining the human essence from the body, they would generally leave the remains which acted as a trail to find them. Ye Xiwen continued to walk inside, and in his heart, he was secretly wary and vignt because he could see the mummified remains of people lying on the roadside, and the ck and red dried blood was present everywhere on the ground. Some scavenger birds could also be seen gnawing these corpses. Ye Xiwen could not help but held his breath. These followers of Bai Mojiao were simply too cruel and disgusting. He himself had also killed people before but it was all because he had been provoked and had no other choice but to kill or get killed. He never killed innocent people and these corpses belonged to innocent vigers who didn¡¯t even have the strength to fight back, which was simply cruel. He was very annoyed to see how mutted these corpses looked. Just from looking at the miserable state of these corpses, Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t help but gasp at such a horrifying scene. When the carrion birds saw Ye Xiwen, a living human being, there was a sudden pitter-patter and they flew all over. These carrion birds had already absorbed a lot of Yin qi from the corpses, and soon, the demon core inside their bodies would have a transformation into devil Dan. (NT: Yin is the negative principle of Yin and Yang) However even after transforming into a devil beast, they would still not be a match of Ye Xiwen. He started to mercilessly wave the long de in his hand, and after seeing the miserable state of the corpses and carrion birds scavenging over them, in his mind, he was getting sick of this scenery. The Daoguang released from his de towards the carrion birds, they screamed pitifully but couldn¡¯t escape and all of them were split in half. Ye Xiwen observed the corpses and noticed as if someone used a w power technique to grasp the bodies directly from the head and then sucked out the soul, vitality, blood and qi from the living human bodies which was extremely cruel and inhuman to do to someone. Ye Xiwen rushed through the area while beheading the scavengers like jackals, carrion birds, even the devil beasts that he encountered on the way weren¡¯t able to escape from the fury of his long de. ¡°Jie Jie, a human hase to die.¡± Suddenly, Ye Xiwen heard a sharp and hoarse voice along with shriekughter that came from behind him, and at that instant, a huge bloody w also approached towards him from behind. Seeing that the huge bloody w wasing to grasp him, Ye Xiwen immediately took a step and jumped into the sky, and the very next instant, he disappeared and directly appeared about ten meters away, while at that ce where he was standing just now, instantly, a skinny and bloody w severely struck and created a big hole. Ye Xiwen looked and saw that the attacker had actually a strange appearance like a shadow, with his bodypletely covered up in ck cloak, but from the cloak, two huge bloody devil ws were stretched out, and looked cold and gloomy, densely covered with blood capiries and looked extremely terrifying. ¡°Boy, I didn¡¯t think that you would dodge my attack.¡± That strange shadowughed and said. ¡°It seems that people of this vige were ughtered by you.¡± Ye Xiwen looked coldly at that strange shadow and said. ¡°Precisely, I turned those stupid mortals into practice materials by extracting their vitality. Of course, it¡¯s a lifetime blessing for them!¡± That strange shadow replied in a loud voice. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 122 – Core disciple Chapter 122 ¨C Core disciple ¡°Precisely, I turned those stupid mortals into practice materials by extracting their vitality. Of course, it¡¯s a lifetime blessing for them!¡± That strange shadow replied in a loud voice ¡°Jie Jie, I did not expect to find a practitioner of Wudao here, ha ha, and it seems that you possess a very strong vitality, and even the nourishment I got by extracting the vitalities of a thousand mortals is nothingparable to the nourishment I will receive by extracting your vitality.¡± That strange shadow said while at this time, many sounds of strangeughter came from all around. ¡°Ha ha ha, after absorbing his blood and essence, this old man can go one step further.¡± ¡°Hurry up and kill him, I want to eat his heart and liver.¡± Ye Xiwen saw several shadows d in ck cloaksing out from all directions and each of them was releasing strong killing intent. It was evident that they were waiting in the shadows to surround and ambush him. A deep sense of disgust shed in the eyes of Ye Xiwen. He didn¡¯t feel so much disgust even for those true killers who enjoyed killing, but for these old devils, he instantly developed disgust because these old devils didn¡¯t treat people as humans, but as livestock, on whom they fed on whenever they wanted to. They were a bunch of twisted and depraved monsters that had already lost their morality long ago. ¡°Sneaky freaks.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered again and again and suddenly jumped forward, and right then, the earth cracked from the tremendous sting strength in his foot and shot his whole stature instantly flying out like a shell, while at the same time, he chopped out a huge deqi. ¡°Bang!¡± An old devil was instantly chopped in half. ¡°Bastard, you dared to kill one of us, kill him, hurry up and kill him!¡± The devils of Bai Mojiao started to roar again and again, and their devilish aurapletely released and spread in the surrounding area, and a foul and disgusting smell also spread everywhere. Ye Xiwen sensed that all of these devils were actually the existences at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, in addition to that, they had practiced a unique Modao based power technique, which made them so powerful that even the true masters of Xiantian Xiao realm would find it very difficult to deal with them, and might die if encountered so many of devils at once. Ye Xiwen took a deep breath then a bright and dazzling Daoguang instantly enveloped him inside a sphere of white light. The area of effect for this attack was quite wide and instantly blew away the cloaks of those devils who couldn¡¯t escape the range of this attack, revealing the true physical features of these followers of Bai Mojiao. Charred faces such as carbon, many ces on their bodies were covered with numerous long and dense scales, and their appearances really did resemble that of a devil. It was obvious that their practice must have gone wrong at some point of time, and as a result, they ended up having such bizarre appearances, covered in scales. The Modao based power techniques had been handed down by the devil race itself in the past and once practiced, it caused the genes in the human body to transform, and slowly, humans transformed into devils. This process was very painful and cruel, but those who practiced correctly could maintain their human appearances and were called devil men. But just from looking at these old devils, it was obvious that they were failed products produced from the wrong way of practicing Modao based power techniques, and as a result of this failure, it was impossible for them to break through the barrier of Xiantian fifth stage for their whole lives. Modao based power techniques were cruel, however, the might granted by them was tremendous, advancement was also very rapid, of course, there was a very serious side effect of transforming into half-devil freak, but so long as one was careful while practicing, one could avoid such a fate. The other side effect that these half-devil freaks had to live with was that they needed to kill humans and absorb their essence in order to maintain their own existence, because if they didn¡¯t kill, the moqi inside their bodies would explode and kill them. Only those who obtained the heritage of elite and pure Modao based power techniques had a chance of sessfully practicing the correct way. These cruel bloodthirsty old devils wanted to kill Ye Xiwen and extract the vitality and blood out of his body. Their blood-red eyes were filled with greed while looking at Ye Xiwen from top to bottom. ¡°Boom!¡± The w of an old devil advanced towards Ye Xiwen and grasped, causing a loud air explosion, while the bloody qi instantly umted and advanced towards Ye Xiwen to grab him. ¡°Dang!¡± Ye Xiwen maliciously chopped out his long de which directly shed with the bloody w of that old devil, but this sh issued a metal shing sound in the surroundings. This old devil had refined his hands and had already transformed them into spiritual weapons, which clearly disyed the distortion in their psyches. They clearly disregarded their own flesh and blood. Ye Xiwen retreated few steps and the long de began to dance in his hand producing a curtain of de shadows everywhere which then isted those old devils away from him. If there was only one old devil then Ye Xiwen wouldn¡¯t care but there were so many of these old devils and Ye Xiwen was having a hard time dealing with all of them at once. Although these old devils were only at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, but relying on the might of Modao based power techniques, they could easilypete with a master who had already entered into the realm of Xiantian Xiao, which was the main reason why they were daring to be so iparably rampant in front of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss!¡± An old devil crashed into the curtain of de shadows and was chopped down in two halves, but another one actually seized this opportunity to sneak an attack on Ye Xiwen, but he didn¡¯t waste even an instant and acted decisively by instantly using the first move of ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡± against that old devil. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt a steady stream of Zhen Qi being taken away from his body, which was far more in amount than other moves, but at that very instant, his hand instantly turned into a Dragon w, a cyan Dragon w shone brightly in this gloomy environment, suffused with a brilliant light, it directly descended towards that old devil and caught him in its grasp. Without getting any chance to react, that old devil was caught in the Dragon w made up of condensed Zhen Qi. Ye Xiwen used his thought to manipte the Dragon w and tightly clenched, and with a ¡®bang¡¯, the old devil turned into minced meat. Ye Xiwen had already practiced the move ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ to the Dacheng realm and it had not just led to a sudden increase in its power, now he could transform a Dragon whenever he wanted to and he could also control the movements and shape of the Dragon at will. Ye Xiwen beheaded two old devils which reduced a lot of pressure on him, but at the same time, he ended up using a total of 10% of his Xiantian Zhen Qi in thest move, in addition to that, he had also used his de attacks to behead the scavengers earlier, so now, he could at most disy this move for up to eight times beforepletely exhausting the Zhen Qi inside his body, but there were more than eight old devils present there. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t want to face such a situation and wanted to get out of the trap of these old devils, so without any hesitation, he decided to call his red crowned crane and whistled. Immediately, in the sky, a long howling cry came from far away along with wing pping sound. But, immediately after that, yet another loud cry of a bird spread everywhere, and a huge shadow descended down from the sky. It was a giant eagle demon bird and wasrger than Ye Xiwen¡¯s red crowned crane, had two huge eagle ws that looked cold and extremely aggressive. One must know that ordinary Xiantian warriors couldn¡¯t block these unstoppable ws. Above this demon bird stood a young man with an appearance of a twenty-year-old guy, had an outstanding demeanor, d in warrior-like brilliant clothing, carrying a double-edged sword, and his stern imposing aura was simply sky rocketing. ¡°You evildoer, you really act recklessly. You actually dared to take a mission that you cannot handle alone!¡± The young man shouted loudly and the surrounding air actually began to surge up right after his loud shout spread. ¡°One more human, this means more blood and food, ha ha ha, and this one also seems to be a disciple with profound cultivation.¡± An old devilughed and said. However before his voice could fall, he was suddenly pierced by a terrifying Swordqi and died on the spot. ¡°Acts recklessly.¡± The young man coldly said. Ye Xiwen saw the symbol on the sleeves of the young man, and immediately rxed, because he was a disciple of Yi Yuan School. ¡°Everyone run, this is a master of Xiantian sixth stage or maybe above!¡± These old devils were not stupid and immediately scattered in all directions to escape. The young man waved his sword and instantly released Swordqi which suddenly flew in all directions, and without getting enough time to escape, all 11 fleeing old devils were pierced by the Swordqi and died instantly. Just a moment ago, these old devils were trying to be quite arrogant in front of Ye Xiwen, but the scene reversed instantly, and they were all killed in a sh. ¡ª- Chapter 123 – Prince Mo Yan Chapter 123 ¨C Prince Mo Yan These old devils, who were trying to be rampant a moment ago, were not a match for this young man and it was obvious that this young man¡¯s cultivation had already surpassed the peak of Xiantian fifth stage and having a higher level of cultivation implied that he was definitely a core disciple. Using just the speech to cause the shock waves in the air just like mighty waves in the ocean was a method that could only be used by the masters of Xiantian sixth stage and above. Ye Xiwen could also create mighty shock waves in the air using the sts from his fists, but even he couldn¡¯t achieve such a feat to do that just by using his voice. To send shock waves in the air from just the speech required a terrifying aura possessed by masters of Xiantian sixth stage and above only. This was actually a result of manifestation of an expert¡¯s internal strength already reaching a terrifying level. ¡°Myself Ye Xiwen, I thank senior for saving me.¡± Ye Xiwen approached the young man and said while cupping one hand into other across his chest, although he could have saved himself without the help, but he was still obliged to this young man for saving him and showed his gratitude. ¡°You are Ye Xiwen?¡± The young man looked at Ye Xiwen and it seemed that he already knew about Ye Xiwen and said with a smile, ¡°Well-deserved reputation, it¡¯s a miracle that you were able to navigate through this deste area all the way to the stronghold of followers of Bai Mojiao, frankly speaking, you have aplished a task that even the masters of Xiantian Xiao realm cannot do alone.¡± ¡°Senior brother is ttering.¡± Ye Xiwen was not surprised to see that the young man already knew about him, because in a short time, he had gained a sudden fame in the Yi Yuan School, especially after defeating Mo Han. Although he was just an inner disciple, but he still had gained reputation among the core disciples. Core disciples would always pay attention to the exceptionally strong and talented people like Ye Xiwen, because these people were generally seed disciples or thoseparable to seed disciples, and almost all of them were at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage or in the Xiantian Xiao realm, and no one knew when they would cross this threshold and woulde on equal footing with the core disciples. So core disciples didn¡¯t treat these people as some ordinary inner disciples. ¡°It just so happens that we are in a need of more people to increase our strength, Brother Ye, this is a busy time but would you like to lend your strength to us?¡± The young man began to exin things to Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen came to know from this young man¡¯s mouth that his name was Zhuge Xingli and he was a core disciple of Yi Yuan School and also received a mission from Main Sect to go and exterminate the followers of Bai Mojiao. Few core disciples gathered together to ambush a powerful character among the followers of Bai Mojiao called Prince Mo Yan. Prince Mo Yan was an illustrious and well-known character among the followers of Bai Mojiao and the rumors were that he was actually a prince of a small country, butter he was introduced into Bai Mojiao, leading to the demise of a small but prosperous country, but he still didn¡¯t care and continued to follow the principles of Bai Mojiao, andter, he became a core disciple of Bai Mojiao. Now, he was regarded as a very important personality in Bai Mojiao. (NT: It can be said that Prince Mo Yan became the core follower of Bai Mojiao) And this time, during the sudden upheaval of Bai Mojiao, Prince Mo Yan was ying quite an important role and it was necessary to deal with him as soon as possible. So, Zhuge Xingli and others assembled to jointly ambush Prince Mo Yan and Zhuge Xingli wanted Ye Xiwen to also participate along with them and lend them his strength because he didn¡¯t know when they might need an extra hand because dealing with Prince Mo Yan could be tricky and he wanted to increase the chances of sess for this mission. Zhuge Xingli got this idea in a spur of the moment, because Ye Xiwen had already gained the recognition of him and other core disciples, and they wouldn¡¯t mind letting him into their team. Also, Prince Mo Yan was supposed to pass from here and Zhuge Xingli was responsible for the look out and also to warn any nearby disciples but he couldn¡¯t use signal to warn them because it would alert the enemy, so he was surveilling this area on his eagle when he found Ye Xiwen dealing with several old devils and decided to help. Prince Mo Yan was a big fat fish and there was a big reward of 50,000 spirit stones on his head. Having a rank of core disciple in Bai Mojiao was definitely rare, and in addition to that, he was the master mind behind the rebellion of Bai Mojiao in these regions. If they were able to sessfully ambush and catch him then this would surely be a big catch and beneficial for everyone involved in the mission. Ye Xiwen decided to ept the offer of Zhuge Xingli, because he also very much loathed the methods and practices of followers of Bai Mojiao. These people were disgusting and despicable and he would dly participate in their extermination. After determining this next course of action, Ye Xiwen began reciting ¡°Sending people to afterlife¡± for the salvation of these souls who were brutally killed by the followers of Bai Mojiao in the worst ways possible. Although he was aware that these people might have their soulspletely sucked out and swallowed, but there still remained their grievances and resentment in the air, and if not prayed now, over time, this ce would gradually turn a gloomy umtion of Yin qi which would corrupt the atmosphere, and attracted to the umted Yin qi, ghosts from all over would flock into this area and turn this ce unlivable for people. (NT: Yin qi = Negative energy) A long time ago, during the formation of Great Yue State, there were several times whenrge mutinies urred and several thousand soldiers fought on the battlefields and died horrifying deaths. At that time of turmoil of wars, no one had time to pray for the souls of dead soldiers who were constantly driven to unjustified deaths. Wars continued to flourish in the process of building of the Great Yue State, and several battlefields were gradually infested with ghost soldiers who couldn¡¯t leave the mortal world and were bound to these battlefields. Sunlight didn¡¯t reach these battlefields, only a chill was spread throughout, and if ordinary people tired to go close then froth would start toe out of their mouths, Yin qi would invade their bodies, leading to their deaths. Even warriors, exuberating with vitality, were afraid to go deep into these areas infested with ghosts. Although situation here wouldn¡¯t turn that badpared to those battlefields but since Ye Xiwen was already here, he was unable to leave this alone, and had a moral obligation to do whatever he could for the dead. After finishing the recitation of ¡°Send people to afterlife¡±, the resentment and grievances filling the air finally disappeared. Yin qi was still present and hadn¡¯tpletely vanished but this amount was less than critical, and the most troublesome thing was the lingering resentment thatpletely vanished after Ye Xiwen¡¯s prayer. As far as Yin qi was concerned, under the exposure of the Sun, it would soon disappear. Ye Xiwen, along with Zhuge Xingli, rode the eagle and soon arrived at the gathering ce of many core disciples. Behind a hill, there was a gathering of roughly 20 disciples of Yi Yuan School. This group was being led by three core disciples. Zhuge Xingli gave their introduction one by one to Ye Xiwen. The first one looked more like a short and stout merchant with a sort of smile on his fat face and was quite famous among core disciples, called Xiao Jin, and it was said that he came from a merchant aristocratic n, and although he was considered very strong, but his merchant skills were even stronger which ultimately made him quite famous among the core disciples. Next to Xiao Jin stood a beautiful woman d in ck clothes, appeared to be 20 years old, and was also a famous core disciple, called Xue Yuan. Next to Xue Yuan stood a young man d in blue clothes and there was a sword in his hand, and was a core disciple called Zheng Yizhao. However, he wasn¡¯t famous like others and was just nobody among the core disciples. And this time, these four core disciples together took the mission to ambush Prince Mo Yan and this group was being led by them, as for the rest of the 20 disciples, they were inner disciples recruited by these four core disciples to assist in this mission, but none of them were ordinary disciples. Each of them possessed deep breath, dignified appearance, and weakest among them was at the peak Xiantian fifth stage, also there were some who had already reached the Xiantian Xiao realm and were considered leading figures among the inner disciples, but in this mission, they could only y the supporting role. However there wasn¡¯t the slightest dissatisfaction present on their faces, because they clearly knew what kind of character Prince Mo Yan actually was. In the future, he would most likely be one of the giant figures of Bai Mojiao and also among the Modao practitioners. When they came to know that Ye Xiwen was the newest addition to this group, they were quite surprised, after all, he hadn¡¯t umted small fame during these past days, but not many recognized him from his appearance. ¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 124 – Trap Chapter 124 ¨C Trap These people were called the elites of Yi Yuan School, and being Xiantian realm warriors, they were all very fast and as soon they heard about the mission of ambushing Prince Mo Yan, they soon came into action, which was the reason why all of them came prepared to do their best for the mission. They were aware of the fact that Prince Mo Yan was not someone they could take lightly and knew that there was a great degree of risk involved in this mission. Everyone sat down in repose and closed their eyes. Ye Xiwen was no exception, he also found a small tree and sat down under it cross-legged and started the unceasing deduction of martial arts in the ¡®Special Space¡¯ inside his mind, making every effort to seek more progress before the n of ambushing Prince Mo Yan was put into action. As for others, it was simply impossible to have a progress in such a short time, but Ye Xiwen¡¯s case was different, because he showed constant progress all the time, and almost every day, one could see a progress in his strength and cultivation. At present, Ye Xiwen was at the peak of Xiantian third stage and was waiting for just one opportunity to be able to go further and break into the Xiantian fourth stage. His body waspletely filled with Xiantian Zhen Qi and was in extreme condition, and one could say that he was only a step away from that one opportunity to be able to transform his Zhen Qi into Zhen Yuan. The so-called Zhen Yuan was more advanced and purer form of energypared to Zhen Qi, and although it was considered tough, but it was possible to transform the Zhen Qi inside the body into Zhen Yuan. Compared to Zhen Qi, the might of Zhen Yuan was enormous and simple inconceivable, and after sessfully transforming Zhen Yuan, the cultivation and strength would break into a new level by incredible proportions, far from what a master of Xiantian fifth stage could imagine. If Ye Xiwen could break into Xiantian fourth stage by transforming the Zhen Qi in his body into Zhen Yuan, then his fighting strength would beparable to that of Xiantian sixth stage masters, and at that time, he would be able topete with core disciples. After the curtain of night fell, the disciples restrained their breaths and hid themselves in the forest in order to prepare the ambush for Prince Mo Yan. If they weren¡¯t careful then there was a chance of being discovered by the enemy, and among them, the Ye Xiwen was the one who most thoroughly hid himself, because he had already practiced ¡®Restraining breath technique¡¯ to the Dacheng level and could easily hide his presence. The moonlight was spread everywhere and the distant roars of demon beasts could be heard. Then, suddenly and abruptly, almost all of disciples of Yi Yuan School opened their eyes, and to their surprise, they turned around and saw a group of several hundred densely packed followers of Bai Mojiao. There were grim looks on their faces and were looking at them with their cut-throat gazes, which was quite frightening. ¡°It¡¯s not good, be careful everyone!¡± Zhuge Xingli¡¯s loud shout alerted everyone. But at this time, those followers of Bai Mojiao finally began to take action. At the back of their group, a row of followers sat down in a circle on the ground, and one by one, strange pentagram patterns appeared on the ground, and the Lingqi instantly began to rage up wildly in the air. Under the maniption of the followers, the raging Lingqi rose up into the sky and suddenly formed an overwhelming arrow rain whichpletely blotted the sky. ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± A shrill piercing sound came, and along with it, an endless number of arrows instantly rained down from the sky towards the disciples of Yi Yuan School. Theplexions of the disciples suddenly paled when they looked towards the sky and saw the rain of numerous arrows, even a slight carelessness could led them to get shot by countless arrows and then their appearance would be simr to a hedgehog. These weren¡¯t ordinary arrows because an ordinary arrow couldn¡¯t harm the masters of Xiantian realm, but arrows made up of Lingqi were very deadly and could cause an instant death of a Xiantian master if shot. ¡°Damn it, how can there be so many Bai Mojiao devil bastards.¡± Xiao Jin cursed out loud then waved his hand, and suddenly, a huge hand congealed in the sky and went towards the iing arrow rain and with a grasping movement, it caught thousands of Lingqi arrows, which caused a loud explosion. ¡°Damn it!¡± With a ¡®ng¡¯ sound, Ye Xiwen took out his long de and instantly formed a de curtain in the midair to protect his body. At this time, the might of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯pletely manifested itself. Dealing with many warriors of lower cultivation levels, using a de technique against them was a very good strategy and a de could be used as a killing device when fighting in group warfare against many opponents. But even so, it would notst in long term battle. However other disciples were not at ease like Ye Xiwen, and those disciples at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage had toe together in groups and each group had to resist a section of the arrow rain, so for the time being, they did not have any safety issues. Theycked the superior might of Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯, a sure shot killing technique especially made up to be used in group warfare, but they could still protect themselves by joining forces. But all of this was nothingpared to the profound skills of Zhuge Xingli and the other three core disciples, who formed shields to protect themselves, while they also had the room to move around in this arrow rain. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Zhuge Xingli sneered, and it seemed as if his figure turned into a lightning and flew high into the sky, while the sword danced in his hand, and in a sh, a long dragon made up of dazzling light congealed out of nowhere and swooped towards those followers of Bai Mojiao. The followers of Bai Mojiao were only at the Xiantian fourth or fifth stage and couldn¡¯t block this incredible attack and were sliced in half through their waists. A burst of bloody mist spread in the air along with their painful screams. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Xue Yuan immediately came into action and stretched out her in white hands, and a huge palm congealed in the air and pressed down towards the circr arrangement of the followers who were manipting the arrow rain. ¡°Boom!¡± The huge palm directly pressed down on them. These followers screamed pitifully and were pressed into meat patties without getting any chance to fight back. ¡°Come out already, could it be that you want us to kill all of your minions.¡± At this time, Zheng Yizhao coldly said. ¡°Ha ha ha, the disciples of Yi Yuan School really have various tricks up their sleeves, no wonder you actually dare to ambush this prince, truly courageous I must say!¡± Suddenly a loudughter came from far away and everyone looked towards the source ofughter and saw a person¡¯s shadow riding an unusual beast, flying towards them from a distant ce. All of the disciples of Yi Yuan School took a closer look at this shadow and actually saw a very cold and gloomy looking young man dressed in ck long robes. He slowly jumped down from the head of an unusual beast. ¡°Prince Mo Yan.¡± Zhuge Xingli stared at the young man and said while keeping a close eye on him. The disciples of Yi Yuan School were tensed for a moment, even Ye Xiwen also increased his vignce, after all this enemy was not someone even the core disciples could easily take on, so they all needed to be careful and attentive at all times. ¡°Zhuge Xingli, I¡¯ve heard your name before, one of the top yers among the core disciples of Yi Yuan School and a very dependable guy, but with all your unparalleled intellectual abilities, you still fell into the trap of this prince.¡± Prince Mo Yan sneered and said. Theplexions on the faces of many disciples of Yi Yuan School immediately became unsightly. Their mission was to ambush Prince Mo Yan, but now it looked like they themselves fell into the trap set up by him. ¡°Today is the day of your death Prince Mo Yan. You havee at the very right time because you have walked right into a trap and it¡¯s a dead end for you. Brother Luo, a true disciple, is not far from here and when he arrives here, you will die.¡± Xiao Jin said. ¡ª¡ª Chapter 125 – Xiantian fourth stage! Chapter 125 ¨C Xiantian fourth stage! At the mention of the name of a true disciple, Luo Yifan, the morale of many disciples suddenly picked up momentum. Fortunately a true disciple was nearby, and as long as they could pin down these devils, these devils would have no way to escape death once Luo Yifan would arrive. Although Prince Mo Yan was strong, but he was just at the level of core disciples, of course, he couldn¡¯tpete with a true disciple like Luo Yifan, and even if it was the weakest of the true disciples, their Xiantian states were still iparably powerful and way beyond the reach of core disciples. ¡°Hmph!¡± Prince Mo Yan coldly sneered and said, ¡°Perhaps you shouldn¡¯t wait, and do you really think that this prince wouldn¡¯t be prepared after understanding your plot? Right now, that true disciple should be wrapped up in a fight with my master, and even if he escapes, you actually expect him to be able to rescue you, ha ha ha, what a joke!¡± The Prince Mo Yan said and a half-dead person¡¯s figure could be seen in his grasp. Theplexions of Zhuge Xingli and others suddenly turned unsightly, because this half-dead person was their informant, who had informed them that Prince Mo Yan was going to pass from here but they didn¡¯t expect him to be caught, and due to that, their n had long been seen through by the enemy. ¡°Damn it, this guy was secretly plotting with outsiders against me.¡± Prince Mo Yan said, a murderous look appeared on his face then his w caught that half-dead person¡¯s body, followed by a burst of his screams, then at a speed not visible by naked eyes, that person¡¯s body waspletely sucked dry. ¡°This time you must die!¡± Prince Mo Yan swept his cold gaze towards the disciples of Yi Yuan School and said. In the distant sky, everyone saw ten figures flying towards them, along with constant pitter-patter. Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Ye Xiwen saw that they were humanoid monsters, about two meters tall, and whole body was densely covered in ck scales, had fierce eyes and ominous looking long fangs, two horns on head and one pair of bat wings on the back that were continuously pping and shing. ¡°Great devils!¡± Many disciples instantly recognized this creature. One must know that there were various species of devils in the Devil world, and among them, just the number of intelligent species were in millions, of which thergest and most widely circted in the legends of Zhen Wu Jie was undoubtedly the ¡®Great devil¡¯. There were a lot of great devils in the devil race, and in the previous devil invasion on Zhen Wu Jie, great devils were sent inrge numbers and were the main force and also the cannon fodder. Although these great devils yed the role of cannon fodder in the devil army, but they were extremely strong and were already at peak of Houtian realm at the time of birth. After reaching adulthood, their cultivation could grow up to Xiantian sixth stage or even more, which made it very tough to deal with them. Ye Xiwen and other disciples had not really seen a great devil before, but it didn¡¯t mean that they did not know about them. In Great Yue State, the number of followers of Bai Mojiao was not many, especially whenpared to Sects like Yi Yuan School and several other major Sects, so each time they would rebel, a lot of great devils were mixed in to increase the strength of their forces. ¡°Damn, these filthy beasts!¡± Zhuge Xingli¡¯splexion became unsightly after the sudden appearance of these great devils, because their arrival indicated that Prince Mo Yan was nning to butcher them in one fell swoop. ¡°These foolish humans, dare to stop our great devil race¡¯s army, it seems they really do not know wish to live anymore, jie jie, I just came over from the Devil world and happen to catch so much fresh blood!¡± A great devil stretched out its scarlet tongue and licked its ck lips and strangelyughed. (NT: Jie Jie =ugh) The thoughts of these great devils and those followers of Bai Mojiao was exactly the same, and they only regarded humans as fresh blood. It could be said that the followers of Bai Mojiao had inherited this depraved behavior from the actual devils. ¡°How audacious, you think that this is your Devil world? You are in Zhen Wu Jie, but still dare to be so arrogant.¡± Zheng Yizhao sneered and looked towards the ten great devils with an intense disgust and killing intent present in his eyes. ¡°Do not listen to their nonsense, begin!¡± Prince Mo Yan shouted loudly and ordered his troops of Bai Mojiao followers and great devils to attack, while at the same time, a sharp trident appeared in his hand, and simply like a ck lightning, he instantly rushed towards Zhuge Xingli. And at this time, those ten great devils shrieked, and each of them took out a spear and flew towards the other three core disciples. The war broke out instantly! Zhuge Xingli and Prince Mo Yan fiercely shed and their strengths was on par with each other. If Zhuge Xingli was not confident of his own strength then he would not have dared to lead this mission to ambush Prince Mo Yan. Other than Zhuge Xingli who was currently busy fighting with Prince Mo Yan, each of the other three core disciples instantly took on three great devils, and although these devils were known as cannon fodder, in addition to their great poption in Devil world, their strength was the same as the other experts at the same cultivation level. However when fighting three vs nine, the number yed a major role and due to that, the three core disciples were being pressed down by thebined strength of great devils, and were struggling to resist. The remaining one great devil leading thousands of followers of Bai Mojiao rushed towards the twenty or so inner disciples. Suddenly theplexions of these inner disciples became pale. There were several hundred of these Bai Mojiao followers, and among them, there were dozens at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, and majority of them were at the Xiantian fourth stage, but if all these followers attacked at once then they would have no chance of survival. Even if all of them were considered elites and one of the yers of Yi Yuan were School, but they were still helpless in front of an army of Bai Mojiao followers, not to mention, there was a core disciple level of great devil leading this army. They simply couldn¡¯t resist! ¡°Jie Jie, you foolish human beings, you just stay there and obediently give me your fresh blood.¡± The great devilughed strangely and instantly threw his long spear towards a disciple at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage. ¡°Puchi!¡± That long spear stabbed right into that disciple without giving him a chance to react. He was stabbed right through his heart and died on the spot, and his body was nailed to the ground by the spear, also, the blood that flowing out was polluted and ck in color. Immediately the morale of the inner disciples dropped down. If they were facing only those Bai Mojiao followers then they wouldn¡¯t be so afraid. Although these followers wererge in numbers and depraved but were still humans, and as long as they could form a joint self-protection method, they would still hold their ground for some time against these followers, but they just didn¡¯t know how to deal with a great devil that was at the Xiantian sixth stage. ¡°Jie Jie, that¡¯s right, you all give me your fresh blood obediently!¡± The great devil strangelyughed and said. ¡°Did the devils also give you fresh blood in the Devil world you filthy beast!¡± Suddenly the sound of a loud explosion came from the group of inner disciples and a terrifying delight instantly chopped out and plunged toward the great devil. The great devil quickly lifted his hand to block. ¡°Dang!¡± A metal shing sound spread and the delight chopped through the ck scales on the arm of the great devil and actually split them. The defensive strength of these scales was almost no less than that of high-grade inner armor. Everyone gave dumbfounded looks to Ye Xiwen while he was slowly walking out of the group with a long de in his hand, and saying: ¡°If you have really lost the courage to deal with this filthy beast, then you might as well just take a sword andmit suicide.¡± Many disciples sudden felt a burst of shame. They were called elite among the elites and were the so-called genius inner disciples, they were supposed to hold an invincible heart and pursue the peak of martial arts, ascend to the peak to get a broad view of the world. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, killing these beasts is no big deal!¡± ¡°Kill these filthy beasts!¡± The morale of the inner disciples suddenly rose back again. Upon seeing this, the great devil immediately roared and suddenly stretched his hand as if to grasp something. The spear instantly returned to its hand, the cold tip of the spear shed and immediately flew towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de severely shed with the spear and a terrifying explosion sound spread everywhere and sent shock waves in all directions. The enormous strength of great devil forced Ye Xiwen five or six steps back, while that great devil stood there motionless. The strength of great devil itself was muchrger than humans, not to mention it was at the Xiantian sixth stage, so its strength was ridiculously enormous. The strength of more than 100 Dragons was absolutely embedded in its body, and at this time, all of this strengthpletely broke out. Ye Xiwen was shaken by this enormous strength but he tightened his chest, and almost did not spout blood, but the look in his eyes was firmer than before, while he was coldly staring at the great devil. The great devil loudly roared and it seemed that he was outraged by Ye Xiwen¡¯s stubbornness. It immediately waved the long spear and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. It was so fast that the ck scales were causing friction with the air and spreading red sparks, and an intense ming devil shot straight to stab Ye Xiwen. This marksmanship had been immersed deep in the bone marrow of these great devils and they were considered to have attained the peak of marksmanship skills. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t care, just clenched his teeth and rushed up towards the great devil, and at the same time, the ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯ was fully operational. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The two sides rushed towards each other at a breakneck speed, and severely shed into each other. Every time, Ye Xiwen was thrown back few steps but he would still attack again, and each time, there was a constant decrease in the number of steps he was thrown back by the enormous strength of great devil. The Zhen Qi was crazily surging inside his body, his ck hair was flying wildly, although he was being constantly repulsed, but the imposing aura of his body was actually very intense and no different from a tyrant from ancient times who seemed to havee back to life. At this time, the ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯ truly manifested itself in the body of Ye Xiwen, making both his body and imposing aura invincible like a fearless tyrant. The Zhen Qi was crazily surging in his, and each time he was repulsed, the imposing aura would also have a crazy ascension. The great devil sensed this sudden change in Ye Xiwen and was secretly scared. He waspletely unable to imagine how Ye Xiwen could actually be so terrifying. It didn¡¯t know what power technique he had practiced to actually make him so scary, although it was a cruel bloodthirsty devil, but not stupid. When it sensed that Ye Xiwen was close to having a breakthrough, it decided that it would absolutely not let him to break. ¡°Go die!¡± The great devil shouted and instantly stuck the spear towards Ye Xiwen which also caused the storms in the air. It was obvious that great devil¡¯s aim was to immediately kill Ye Xiwen without any dy. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen raised his hand and the long de fiercely shed with the spear, setting off a terrifying st wave in the surrounding area. Ye Xiwen just felt an enormous force entering his body, his bones made a crackling sound, and it seemed that his body would explode under this intense pressure. The Zhen Qi was crazily revolving inside his body. ¡°Breakthrough!¡± ¡°Breakthrough!¡± ¡°Breakthrough!¡± Ye Xiwen was constantly shouting in his heart, while under the pressure of the enormous strength, the Zhen Qi took a spherical shape inside his body. ¡°Boom!¡± Under the enormous suppressive strength, Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯ finally broke through the Dacheng of secondyer! The strength of Dragons started to increase from his current strength of 100 Dragons! Strength of 101 Dragons! Strength of 102 Dragons! Ye Xiwen¡¯s inner state was finally driven by the enormous strength of great devil and broke into the Xiantian fourth stage, while at the same time, he felt that the Zhen Qi in his body was being transformed into a steady stream of a new and formidable energy. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 126 – Situation reversed Chapter 126 ¨C Situation reversed Within Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, a steady stream of Xiantian Zhen Qi was transforming into a liquid energy and he could feel the great might flowing in his body. Ye Xiwen¡¯s imposing aura was still unceasingly soaring and his power had not yet climbed to the top! ¡°How is this possible?¡± The great devil was giving dumbfounded looks to Ye Xiwen. Just how could someone have so much progress at once after the breakthrough and the rise in his strength had not yet stopped? It had seen the breakthrough from the peak of Xiantian fifth stage into the Xiantian sixth stage, but had never seen so much increase in strength at once. Ye Xiwen¡¯s¡¯ imposing aura was gradually rising and was currently at the strength of 120 Dragons, but this rise in strength didn¡¯t stop. How could there be such a terrifying person, such a terrifying power technique, just what kind of power technique did he practice to disy such a bizarre increase in strength! During the breakthrough, the Xiantian Zhen Qi in Ye Xiwen¡¯s body had notpletely converted into Zhen Yuan, in fact, just converted one third, but he already gained the strength of 120 Dragons. Ye Xiwen estimated that until theplete conversion is over, he could have the strength of 150 Dragons, although this was far less than the strength limit of 199 Dragons granted by the Xiantian sixth stage, but it was definitely far more than this great devil that seemed to have recently entered into the Xiantian sixth stage. ¡°How is this possible!¡± The great devil roared and once moreunched an attack at Ye Xiwen, its spear tilted at a strange angle in the air and pierced towards Ye Xiwen like a lightning. Ye Xiwen sneered and instantly chopped out his long de, and a delight containing the just transformed Zhen Yuan, which was far more tyrannical than delight containing Zhen Qi, instantly routed the spear in the midair, and Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de severely chopped down on the spear. ¡°Dang!¡± A horrifying explosive sound echoed when the weapons severely shed into each other, and the reverberations went back and impacted on the bodies of Ye Xiwen and great devil, but this time, the situationpletely reversed. Ye Xiwen just stood there motionless holding his long de, while the great devil was thrown back and his hand waspletely shaken along with a deep wound on its palm. The spear also fell on the ground! Great devil stared at Ye Xiwen with its big eyes filled with astonishment, but Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t wait and again chopped out his long de which release a dazzling delight instantly towards great devil When great devil saw this attack, this time, it didn¡¯t try to block and immediately and crazily retreated several steps back in order to avoid Ye Xiwen¡¯s terrifying de attack which seemed to possess an incredible might. Ye Xiwen rushed forward and again chopped his long de, releasing a dazzling delight, which shed then instantly reached the great devil, and without getting any chance to dodge this time, it screamed pitifully while its arm was severed by Ye Xiwen. This was the first time that on the cruel and bloodthirsty face of this great devil, the look of horror and panic finally appeared. It realized that it might die and that too at the hands of a human. It just couldn¡¯t ept that how could there be such a frightening human! Seeing that Ye Xiwenpletely overwhelmed a great devil, suddenly the morale of those inner disciples, who were losing their ground while fighting against the followers of Bai Mojiao, increased dramatically. They felt that they could still be saved, they still had a hope, and this hope was Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen did not know that he had already be a savior in the eyes of others, because right now in his eyes, the only remaining goal was to first kill this great devil. Ye Xiwen¡¯s imposing aura firmly locked on great devil¡¯s body, while he was looking coldly at it, because he was aware of the cruel nature of these great devils and felt not one shred of sympathy for them. The great devil clearly understood that it was not a match of Ye Xiwen, and if it tried to fight him, he would surely be killed. The imposing aura of Ye Xiwenpletely overshadowed its own imposing aura, and it sensed that the strength of Ye Xiwen was currently at the strength of 130 Dragons which was absolutely frightening. The great devil didn¡¯t even have a chance to pick up the tattered spear from the ground, and suddenly flew away, skimming into the crowd of followers of Bai Mojiao. Ye Xiwen sneered and said, ¡°Want to escape!¡± Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xiwen immediately chased down after it, he flew high into the sky and mercilessly crashed into the crowd of followers Bai Mojiao. Ye Xiwen did not restrain his breath and severely crashed into the followers of Bai Mojiao, and his enormous might scattered in all directions, which instantly formed a storm. Several followers of Bai Mojiao didn¡¯t get enough time to dodge and were sent flying, suddenly ejected a mouthful of blood and simply lost consciousness. These followers were only at the Xiantian fourth or fifth stage and it was obviously impossible for them to fight an expert like Ye Xiwen, whose fighting strength was nowparable to that of an expert at Xiantian sixth stage. In the Xiantian realm, there was a difference of heaven and earth between Xiantian fifth stage and Xiantian sixth stage. Not only the masters of Xiantian fifth stagecked strength, they alsocked the incredible might granted by the transformed Xiantian Zhen Yuan, so it was simply impossible for Xiantian fifth stage warriors topete with warriors of Xiantian sixth stage. Although Ye Xiwen had not yet reached the Xiantian sixth stage, but he was able to transform the Xiantian Zhen Qi inside his body into Xiantian Zhen Yuan, which was nowparable to the masters of Xiantian sixth stage, and these followers of Bai Mojiao were simply not his opponent. ¡°Puchi!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de directly split in half the body of a follower of Bai Mojiao, and while his de was still shing with delight, he again chopped out delight towards the escaping great devil. The great devil was very cunning, it ran towards the ce where there were many followers, in an attempt to use the followers of Bai Mojiao to block the de attacks of Ye Xiwen aimed at him from the back. In its view, these followers of Bai Mojiao were no different than the humans it despised and didn¡¯t care whether they lived or died. But Ye Xiwen repeatedly dodged and made his way through the crowd of using the amazing maneuver skills of ¡°Celestial Step¡± that he had already practiced to the Dacheng level. Using the agility skill, he quickly crossed through the crowd of followers of Bai Mojiao, following the trail of great devil, which he also enveloped himself in a curtain of delight, and whenever the followers of Bai Mojiao would try to approach this curtain of delight, they would either be killed or disabled, and this was because Ye Xiwen was in a hurry to kill the great devil, otherwise he would not be running past these followers, rather he would have killed all of them. de strike! Killed! Another de strike! Continued to kill! Within few breaths time, more than 30 followers of Bai Mojiao were either killed or disabled at the hands of Ye Xiwen. Suddenly those followers of Bai Mojiao started to spread out to make way for Ye Xiwen. They did not dare anymore to get close to him, although their devil worship was not false, but they were selfish and ruthless and didn¡¯t want to sacrifice themselves in order to save the great devil. ¡°These lowly humans are really unreliable!¡± When great devil saw the followers of Bai Mojiao making way for Ye Xiwen instead of stopping him, he couldn¡¯t help but cursed them out loud. Ye Xiwen wasn¡¯t one bit distracted by these followers of Bai Mojiao and he quickly caught up with the great devil. Ye Xiwen¡¯s face was deadpan, and this time, with almost each breath, he could obviously feel his strength getting more formidable, and jumped to catch up with the great devil. He shouted and released ten meters long Daomang from his de, and this Daomang, which seemed to have been released by the god of death itself, continued to harvest life, and several Bai Mojiao followers who were in its path were instantly crushed and turned into minced meat, while it went all the way straight towards the great devil and crashed into its body with a boom. ¡°Puchi!¡± The Daomang prated through the scales and entered into its body and cut out a huge hole. ¡°Boom!¡± Everyone heard a loud bang when the Zhen Qi inside the great devil¡¯s body exploded and its muscr body instantly burst into a ball of minced meat and disappeared in the air. Everyone froze for a moment as no one expected this oue where Ye Xiwen would actually be able to behead a great devil, because this was simply a miracle, especially for Zhuge Xingli and other core disciples. They were just hoping for the inner disciples tost a little longer but did not expect that their team would to be able to have such an astonishingeback thanks to Ye Xiwen. After beheading the great devil, Ye Xiwen¡¯s imposing aura finally reached its peak and his strength also rose all the way up to the strength of 150 Dragons. He reached the peak of the currently attainable strength. Ye Xiwen felt an unprecedented strength in his body, and even during breathing, he could change the surrounding air to resonate together, and even without using the Zhen Qi or Zhen Yuan, now his casual shout could send shock waves in the surrounding air. This was the feat only attainable by the masters of Xiantian sixth stage and above which clearly showed that Ye Xiwen¡¯s might was far more than the masters of the Xiantian Xiao realm. ¡°Ye Xiwen, be careful!¡± Suddenly Zhuge Xingli¡¯s loud shout came from a distant ce. A glow of terrifying dim light shot from afar came straight towards Ye Xiwen. Even after having the breakthrough, Ye Xiwen still felt a chill down his spine and his body instinctively reacted, and using celestial step, he took a step and his body went several meters away and evaded the iing attack. ¡°Boom!¡± The ce where he was standing an instant ago, the dim glowing light sted a big hole. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was covered in cold sweat and thought that if he had received the attack a moment ago then even if considering his current body strength, he would have sustained seriously injuries. Ye Xiwen immediately got hisposure back and looked towards the source of the attack. It was actually Prince Mo Yan behind that attack, and at this time, there was a unwilling look on his face because Ye Xiwen managed to dodge his attack. ¡°Do not even think about trying to shoot again.¡± Zhuge Xingli was suddenly overjoyed after witnessing the breakthrough of Ye Xiwen, because he understood that the key to break this deadlock was none other than Ye Xiwen, and immediately attacked Prince Mo Yan, as he absolutely couldn¡¯t allow him to attack Ye Xiwen once again. At this time, Ye Xiwen no longer hesitated and attacked the followers of Bai Mojiao, although he was currently not a match of Prince Mo Yan, but dealing with these Bai Mojiao followers was not a big deal for him. ¡°Shua!¡± ¡°Shua!¡± ¡°Shua!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s Daoguang shed and rushed right into the crowd of Bai Mojiao followers killing and injuring many of them, and suddenly, the pressure greatly reduced on the inner disciples of Yi Yuan School, and due to the lessened pressure, the inner disciples felt rxed. However, the core disciples who were fighting with other great devils couldn¡¯t hold their ground anymore and it seemed that they would lose anytime. There was a cruel smile on the face of Prince Mo Yan, because in his view, as long as his n was sessful, the deaths of these ordinary Bai Mojiao followers wasn¡¯t worth much. Then suddenly, a long howl came from the horizon. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Good News for you guys! Some of you might have noticed, I will just state anyway, from Chapter 125 onwards, author has permanently increased the size of chapters. So more fun people! Enjoy?? ) Chapter 127 – Did you kill Luo Tian? Chapter 127 ¨C Did you kill Luo Tian? Then suddenly, a long howl came from the horizon. From the outset, for a while, that long howl continued toe from the horizon, but almost after an instant, it was not very far away from everyone, and as the howl grew closer and louder, the entire air began to vibrate producingyer afteryer of mighty shockwaves. Theplexions on everyone¡¯s face suddenly paled, because this person¡¯s skill was extremely terrifying. He was actually so far from them and could still cause such a level of change in the atmosphere. The disy of such a might was impossible for a master of Xiantian realm. True master! Theplexion on Prince Mo Yan¡¯s face suddenly paled, because he also heard this loud howl and immediately recognized that this was not his master from Bai Mojiao. He quickly made the decision, jumped upon the unusual beast and shouted: ¡°Retreat!¡± Prince Mo Yan¡¯s loud shout spread throughout, and immediately after that, whether it was those great devils or Bai Mojiao followers, without wasting any time, they threw down their opponents and turned back to escape. ¡°Should we chase after them?¡± Xiao Jin asked. ¡°Well, we don¡¯t chase, a tottering foe should not be chased recklessly, and they escaped just because they fear Brother Luo Yifan not us.¡± Zhuge Xingli said while looking at the retreating back profile of Prince Mo Yan. Xiao Jin clearly understood as he knew what kind of dreadful existence this Brother Luo Yifan actually was. Ye Xiwen looked at the rapidly escaping figures of Prince Mo Yan and his minions and sighed. This Prince Mo Yan was quite a fierce and ambitious character, who showed his decisive nature while killing enemies, and when it came to retreating in the face of danger, he again didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately escaped. Quick decision making abilities along with ruthless nature made him quite a troublesome foe! However Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t think about this for long, because when he was thinking, a person¡¯s figure suddenly appeared on a tree branch not far away from him. It was actually a youth d in blue robe and appeared 28 or 29 years old, and a formidable imposing aura was unceasinglying out of his body. ¡°Brother Luo!¡± ¡°Senior Yifan!¡± ¡°Brother Luo!¡± Zhuge Xingli and the three core disciples took the lead and immediately approached him to greet , but those inner disciples somewhat hesitated as they didn¡¯t recognize this youth, after all, they were separated by ayer, essible only to the core disciples, in addition to that, those true disciples were quite elusive, and it was hard to even barely catch of a glimpse of them, unless someone was quite intimate with a true disciple, ordinary people didn¡¯t have any means to approach them. ¡°This time we were lucky that Brother Luo was nearby and came to our rescue, otherwise, we would really be in a big trouble.¡± Zhuge Xingli said in a respectful manner. ¡°Yes, this is all thanks to Brother Luo that we were able to scare away that Prince Mo Yan and his army.¡± Xiao Jin also said with a smile on his face. The situation this time would have taken a very dangerous turn, and if this fight had dragged on, the inner disciples would have faced serious problems, because theirbat strength was far worsepared to the core disciples, and even if Ye Xiwen had a breakthrough, it was just a temporary relief and was not enough to reverse the flow of battle. When Luo Yifan looked at the bodies of Bai Mojiao on the ground, a trace of disgust appeared in his eyes. ¡°These Bai Mojiao devils were well prepared and they even sent a master to stop me, which is why I arrived sote.¡± Luo Yifan indifferently said. And at this time, several shadows appeared in the sky, riding various kinds of demon birds and descended from the sky. Each of them looked powerful and had strong imposing aura and were core disciple level masters. ¡°Brother Luo, we have beheaded the remaining devils of Bai Mojiao. This time we caught a big fish, an elder of Bai Mojiao¡¯s Yue State branch.¡± A core disciple said in an excited tone. Ye Xiwen and other inner disciples eximed when they heard this. One of the elders of Bai Mojiao suffered loss at the hand of Luo Yifan? One must know that in the Yue State¡¯s branch of Bai Mojiao, the elders possessed strengthparable to that of the true disciples. True disciples were known as great spiritual masters who had already gained deep understanding of thews of heaven and earth but still preferred to follow simplicity and didn¡¯t indulge themselves in worldly matters! Let alone these inner disciples, even the core disciples looked up to the true disciples. And an elder of such a stature died at the hands of Luo Yifan and that too in such a short time. It was obvious that the strength of Luo Yifan was so enormous that it was simply iprehensible for ordinary disciples like them. Ye Xiwen initially thought that if these devils of Bai Mojiao dared to behave so arrogantly and surrounded them and weren¡¯t absolutely scared of Luo Yifan¡¯s sudden arrival, then they certainly would have sent a suitably high ranked master to deal with Luo Yifan, but it seemed that they did not expect that this master would be so quickly beheaded by Luo Yifan! ¡°Those evildoers really acted recklessly this time. They actually dared to set up a trap to kill the disciples of my Yi Yuan School.¡± Luo Yifan said with a disdainful look on his face. Zhuge Xingli started introducing Luo Yifan to the inner disciples. These disciples also had somewhat exciting looks on their faces, after all, they were standing in front of a true disciple. Luo Yifan showed little interest in the beginning, but when introduced to Ye Xiwen, his piercing gaze swept towards Ye Xiwen, and a surge of terrifying imposing aura came out of his body and firmly locked on Ye Xiwen. The scene abruptly changed in the field, everyone was stunned, they just couldn¡¯t understand why Luo Yifan, one of the true disciples, would suddenly attack Ye Xiwen, and the ones who were surprised the most were Zhuge Xingli and other core disciples. Although Ye Xiwen just had a breakthrough and his strength was nowparable to that of core disciples but it was not going to help him in front of an existence like Luo Yifan. Ye Xiwen felt that a horrifying imposing aura was crushing his body, while at the same time, the Zhen Yuan was madly rushing and revolving inside his body in order to resist the intense pressure of Luo Yifan¡¯s imposing aura. If he had not already transformed Zhen Qi into Zhen Yuan inside his body, then it was possible that this imposing aura would have made him to kneel down on the ground. It was as if he was facing a beast from ancient times, trying to bite him with its intensely strong jaws. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was being crushed with such an enormous strength that his bones started to make crackling sounds. ¡°Brother Luo, what¡¯s this all about?¡± Xue Yuan hurriedly asked because she couldn¡¯t understand why Luo Yifan would suddenly attack Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body was covered in cold sweat, so much sweat that itpletely soaked his clothes, hisplexion was somewhat pale. This was the first time he felt the horrifying strength of a true master and even if his fighting strength was nowparable to that of the core disciples, but there a difference of heaven and earth between the core disciples and true disciples. ¡°Brother Luo, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was trembling and he clenched his teeth and asked while trying to resist the overwhelming imposing aura. ¡°Say, did you kill Luo Tian?¡± Luo Yifan said and his voice came like the roar of a fierce Lion, and caused a violent storm which directly impacted on Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind, and directly snatched the control of his mind, and now, he wouldn¡¯t be able to lie or hold secrets even if he wanted to, and when asked, he must answer the truth out loud. (NT: Just to refresh your memories, Ye Xiwen had killed Luo Tian while saving Hua Menghan. Well, Hua Menghan had already severely injured him but Ye Xiwen gave the finishing blow!) ¡°I don¡¯t know about this Luo Tian guy.¡± At this most critical moment, the ¡®Special Space¡¯ in his mind suddenly sent intermittent rays of light whichpletely shielded his mind and soul, and right at this very instant, Ye Xiwen regained control over his mind and quickly answered. Ye Xiwen was startled in his heart. This thing never came in his mind that Luo was the surname of both Luo Tian and Luo Yifan, and there was a possibility that they were actually members of the same n! But at this time, Ye Xiwen wasn¡¯t in a position to ask anything to clear his doubts! He must pretend that he did not know Luo Tian! He absolutely couldn¡¯t tell the truth! Ye Xiwen knew that if he admitted that he was the one who killed Luo Tian, then this Luo Yifan wouldn¡¯t hesitate one bit and would definitely kill him right there in front of everyone. The status of a true disciple was equivalent to that of the elders. Having the backing of such an incredible master, no wonder Luo Tian was audacious enough to actually dare to intercept Hua Menghan. Luo Yifan¡¯s eyes were shing with killing intent while keeping a close eye on Ye Xiwen and seemed to be considering whether he was speaking truth or not. He was suspicious because he got some clues that Ye Xiwen was possibly rted to Luo Tian¡¯s death. That day, Luo Tian acted recklessly by nning to intercept Hua Menghan and died in vain. Hua Menghan was the first disciple of the Lord of ¡®Full moon peak¡¯ and her status was equivalent to the status of a true disciple, so he couldn¡¯t get his hands on her, but Ye Xiwen¡¯s case was different. He was just one of the several thousand inner disciples, and even if he was killed by a true disciple like Luo Yifan, it would be considered as punishment and nothing else. Therefore he used a sound wave based martial arts tactic to directly attack Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind and soul, and even if a true disciple was hit by this attack, it would affect them, let alone a petty inner disciple. By controlling his mind and soul, he would naturally utter the truth without hiding anything. Of course, there were problems rted to this method, because once used on someone, it would severely affect the mind and recovery might require a long time. Sometimes when the damage done to the mind was too severe then there were was no way to fully recover. But he didn¡¯t care about all that, so long he got to know the truth about Luo Tian¡¯s death. He looked at Ye Xiwen with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, because he started to having doubts, maybe this kid was saying the truth and wasn¡¯t rted to Luo Tian¡¯s death, after all, Luo Yifan was very confident on his martial arts tactic and believed that no one could escape from its clutches. After a long time, Luo Yifan restrained his imposing aura locked on Ye Xiwen and coldly looked at him then said: ¡°You¡¯d better not be rted to Luo Tian¡¯s death otherwise you will die a pathetic death.¡± Luo Yifan openly threatened Ye Xiwen in front of everyone as if he didn¡¯t care what other people think about this matter, then took a step and his figure shot into the sky leaving a trail of rainbow light then disappeared in the sky. The group of core disciples who came with him awhile ago also followed after him and disappeared in the sky. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Xue Yuan asked with a hint of concern in her voice, though she wasn¡¯t familiar with Ye Xiwen, but they fought alongside in a life and death battle, so a sense of friendship had developed between them. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I am alright.¡± A bleak smile appeared on his face while the intention to kill was boiling in his mind, yes, this intention to kill was directed towards Luo Yifan, but Ye Xiwen had already umted a profound experience in using ¡®Restraining breath technique¡¯, and even if the killing intention was boiling violently in his heart, he properly hid it inside and nothing was revealed on the outside. If it was revealed, he would have no other choice but to die. An inner disciple daring to direct his intention to kill towards a true disciple was simply ridiculous, but Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t mind because even true disciples were human beings, sooner orter, he would also achieve the true realm. This Luo Yifan was an absolutely ruthless man, and as long as he found even a little evidence, he would rather kill than mistakenly let off a possible killer of Luo Tian. Moreover, Ye Xiwen figured out by now that Luo Yifan was just suspicious and had no evidence. Since the majority of responsibility of Luo Tian¡¯s death fell on the shoulders of Hua Menghan, so Luo Yifan wouldn¡¯t continue to go into details, but this still didn¡¯t mean that this thing was over. The best way out of this mess was to kill Luo Yifan and end this once and for all! In Ye Xiwen¡¯s heart, the intention to kill slowly began to spread. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 128 – Ye Feng calls for help Chapter 128 ¨C Ye Feng calls for help Days passed, and in a blink of an eye, two months already passed from the incident of Prince Mo Yan. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t join Zhuge Xingli and others and went his own way. During these two months, Ye Xiwen was roaming throughout the Great Yue State, wiping outrge numbers of the followers of Bai Mojiao, because the followers of Bai Mojiao had sprouted everywhere and were attacking at various locations throughout the Great Yue State, leading to a sudden rise in requests of crushing these followers. After 100 years, misfortune again struck the Great Yue State. Not just Yi Yuan School, other major Sects also sent forces to crush the rebellion of Bai Mojiao. The Royal n of Great Yue State also could not help but mobilize the Royal guards, a terrifying army, though the foot soldiers were only warriors of peak Houtian ninth stage but corporals were masters of Xiantian realm, and this army was called the terrifying ughter machine of the Royal n of Great Yue State. In addition to the Royal guards, Great Yue State¡¯srge military was also fully mobilized, and along with them, County soldiers, many local armies and military troops were stationed overnight, and were ordered to ughter any Bai Mojiao followers if found lurking in the nearby areas. Although the battle efficiency of Ye Xiwen was nowparable to the core disciples of Xiantian sixth stage, but this time due to the unexpected resurfacing of Bai Mojiao after 100 years, many formidable devils invaded from the Devi world during the rebellion, and Ye Xiwen repeatedly faced life and death situations during the missions while fighting them, and thanks to that his strength showed a vast progress. After training for three months, Ye Xiwen was simply like a reborn self of his previous self. His inner state fully consolidated at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage and his strength increased all the way to the strength of 200 Dragons, and his fighting efficiency was now between the Xiantian sixth stage and Xiantian seventh stage. During these three months, the power technique that Ye Xiwenprehended the most was ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±. He had alreadyprehended its secondyer to the Dacheng realm, and now, he alsoprehended the thirdyer and actually burnt 10,000 spirit stones in the mysterious space in the process, and results could be seen from the outline of his new sturdy and slim profile. In addition to that, Ye Xiwen also spent most of the time in understanding and practicing the ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡± inside the mysterious space. In the mysterious space, he was repeatedly practicing the ¡®profound thought¡¯ of this technique over and over, although he didn¡¯t have the enough inner strength, but he could stillprehend the moves of ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡± as it totally depended on his natural talent. Regarding this martial arts technique from ancient times, perhaps, even if many talented people tried toprehend it, they would be unable to achieve anything, but Ye Xiwen had ¡®mysterious space¡¯, and so long as there were enough spirit stones, he would be able to unravel all the secrets of ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡±, as all of its secrets would be disyed in front of him making it very easy for him to grasp this technique. Without this mysterious space, Ye Xiwen wouldn¡¯t have been able toprehend even a bit of this ancient power technique and instead there was a high possibility that he would have his soul and mind destroyed by the scary thought present inherently in this technique. During the time he was practicing ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡±, Ye Xiwen spent a total of 15000 spirit stones and finally mastered the second move, ¡®Divine Dragon flings its tail¡¯, to the point of having the first glimpse into its secrets. Unlike ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯, the second move was more suited for its use in group warfare, where even one move could produce a massive explosion, as if a divine dragon flung its tail, and using this move, enemies within arge range could be attacked in one fell swoop. In a mountain vige, corpses were lying everywhere throughout the vige, and looking at these corpses, one could see that the vitality had been drained out of their bodies leaving only mummified corpses on the roadside. A fight was going on in the central region of the vige. A group of Bai Mojiao followers were gathered around a cyan figure and trying to attack him. ¡°Shua!¡± A long de shed and released a terrifying deqi that instantly and severely chopped out towards the group of Bai Mojiao followers. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Several Bai Mojiao followers couldn¡¯t evade the attack and were split in half. Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure was just like an immortal, fast and elegant, shuttling back and forth among these followers of Bai Mojiao, and wherever his figure appeared, the followers of Bai Mojiao would be directly chopped into two halves. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have a favorable impression of these Bai Mojiao followers and it was obvious just from seeing how maliciously and unceasingly he was chopping them down into pieces. ¡°Puchi!¡± ¡°Puchi!¡± ¡°Puchi!¡± Wherever the delight went, flesh and blood sttered everywhere. These devils finally learned the same fear that the dead vigers would have felt while getting massacred by them, but Ye Xiwen did not give them much time to reflect on it, a terrifying delight released out of his long de and immediately chopped them into pieces. In a short interval of time, Ye Xiwen effortlessly beheaded each and every one of these Bai Mojiao followers. Ye Xiwen rxed and felt as if there was no end to these devils. They just kept oning even after he continued to kill them endlessly. Resurfacing after a silent preparation for 100 years, no wonder they managed to umte so much strength of rming proportions, not to mention there were arge number of Bai Mojiao followers beyond the boundaries of Great Yue State. Bai Mojiao was arge influence and its forces had managed to proliferate throughout the Zhen Wu Jie, and if their overall influence was estimated, then it was much more powerful than Yi Yuan School. Great Yue State¡¯s Bai Mojiao was just one branch of the organization. Ye Xiwen finished reciting ¡°Send souls to the afterlife¡± for the dead vigers, then called his red-crowned crane and returned to Yi Yuan School. During these days, he managed toplete many missions. The rewards for these Bai Mojiao rted missions were truly rich, and in just a few months, Ye Xiwen actually gained more than 3000 spirit stones bypleting these missions, although considering his current level, it was not too much, but it was not too less as well. Suddenly, a mysterious light shed in the sky and flew directly into the summoning Talisman held in his hands. This summoning Talisman, into which the mysterious light just entered, was clearly a high-grade Talisman and far superior to an ordinary summoning Talisman he previously had. Ye Xiwen knew that this summoning Talisman was very expensive, but he still bought one for 300 spirit stones and discovered that its effects were very good, far better than the previous summoning Talisman. It could send messages from far distances and these messages were faster and extremely urate. Ye Xiwen sent Zhen Yuan into the summoning Talisman and a message suddenly appeared in front of him. ¡°Little Brother, the disciples of our Qian Yu faction are stranded and currently trapped in Thousand Inds City, hurry up ande at once!¡± Ye Xiwen saw that the name inscribed on the message, it was ¡®Ye Feng¡¯. Immediately after receiving the distress message from the Qian Yu faction, in his mind appeared the required information about Thousand Inds City. After entering into the Xiantian realm, his body went through a metamorphosis, the brain was no exception, making him intelligent and increased the retaining capacity of the brain, far more than ordinary people. Now he could read things and would never forget them. Thousand Ind City was located on the southwestrge waterfront of the Great Yue State. There were many estuaries in this ce since it was located near the sea, and due to the inconsistency in the estuary formations and river flow, many small inds had formed and Thousand Inds City was located on top of these inds, which were also the origin of the city. It was very far from the Yi Yuan School and he needed to rush there as soon as possible. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t waste any time and called his red-crowned crane, jumped on its back and quickly flew in the direction of Thousand Inds City. There was a boundless blue sea on the eastern waterfront of the Great Yue State, and no one knew in the end how far it spread. There were many formidable Sects present in the depths of the East China Sea, and not just that, there were also many powerful demon beasts that lurked in the depths of the sea, and there were also a lot of demon beasts with great wisdom who had bounded the strength of the weak demon beasts to form a demon kingdom. On the maind, mankind was dominant, and of course would not allow the existence of demon kingdom, but the depths of the East China Sea was their of demon beasts and even the true realm experts wouldn¡¯t dare to go too deep into theirir. In short, the depths of East China Sea was a very dangerous ce and a forbidden ce for humans, and no matter which Sect someone belonged to, no one was allowed to go into the depths of East China Sea. However, contrary to what anyone would expect, in the range of 3000 Li radius from the coastline, there existed arge faction of human existence, and generally, the demon beasts didn¡¯t dare to get too close to their settlement. (NT: 1 Li = 0.5 Km) The red-crowned crane¡¯s speed was extremely fast, but there was arge distance to cover to reach the southwest side of the Great Yue State, and the time it would take to reach there was estimated as a full day¡¯s flight. Ye Xiwen was anxious and impatient, because he remembered that he saw a mission which stated that Thousand Inds City seemed to have been captured by many followers of Bai Mojiao, i.e., Ye Feng and others most likely had to face arge number of Bai Mojiao followers and were in imminent danger. After flying for most of the time of the day, the sky waspletely camouged by the curtain of night, and in the distance, a city could be seen partially visible in the looming fog. Since the Thousand Inds City was located close to the sea, for more than half a year, it was generally obscured in dense fog. Originally, millions of people lived in Thousand Inds City, but at this time, there was no trace of them rather under the curtain of night, terrifying intermittent roars of demon beasts could be heard from all around. Ye Xiwen jumped down from the back of his red-crowned crane which was still flying in the air. He justnded on the ind and was immediately surrounded by numerous water frog beasts, who rushed over towards him while croaking. Water frog beast was a rtively low-level aquatic demon beast, but the biggest threat was their sheer numbers when they attacked. There were a lot of water frog beasts and even if they weren¡¯t strong individually, but when several hundred thousand beasts attacked at once, they could pose a serious threat for even the most formidable experts. Most experts would choose to flee in this situation! But, Ye Xiwen did not want to waste this crucial time on these water frog beasts! His whole stature rushed forward and a sudden burst of an incredibly cold and scary Qijin released out of his body. (NT: Qijin = Qi energy) ¡°Boom!¡± Those water frog beasts were suddenly shaken and turned into powder by the shock of terrifying Qijin. In no time, Ye Xiwen freed himself from the entanglement of these water frog beasts, although they were inrge numbers, but fortunately, right now, not all of them had appeared so dealing with the current number of water frog beasts wouldn¡¯t be much of a problem for him. Ye Xiwen released arge quantity of Zhen Yuan out of his body in all directions which spread around him and whenever the water frog beasts tried to approach him, they would immediately copse and turn into powder. Ye Xiwen jumped to a rooftop and rushed towards the central part of Thousand Inds City, because he could sense that a huge Zhen method was operating crazily in the central part of the city. Ye Xiwen estimated that if the disciples of Qian Yu faction were still alive, they were most probably inside that huge Zhen method. Immediately, without any hesitation, he rushed towards the central part of Thousand Inds City. However the overall structure of this ¡®Thousand Inds City¡¯ actuallyprised of several small inds, and each of these small inds were separated by various waterways. Since Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t fly, so he could only rush skimming on the roofs and surface of water. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 129 – Thousand Islands City sacrificed Chapter 129 ¨C Thousand Inds City sacrificed Ye Xiwen soon arrived at the central part of Thousand Inds City where he saw a huge Zhen method unceasingly operating. There he found arge concentration of moqi in the air which was actually congealing this huge Zhen method. ¡°Brother!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and blew out Zhen Yuan which sent shock waves in the air, which then immediately turned into sound waves and spread out. Although it was inferior to Luo Yifan¡¯s skill, but here, within a radius of ten to twenty miles, anyone could clearly hear his shout. After transforming the Zhen Qi inside his body into Zhen Yuan, Ye Xiwen had be so formidable that even his shout turned into a great roar and proliferated through the atmosphere like a sonic wave weapon. ¡°Ga!¡± A sharp burst of screams of night owls spread everywhere, followed by a flock of night owls dropping from the dark sky while screaming pitifully. They had been killed by the sonic waves released from Ye Xiwen¡¯s shout. ¡°Little Brother, we are here!¡± Ye Feng¡¯s voice finally reached him. This time, he didn¡¯te to kill demon beasts or followers of Bai Mojiao, but to find Ye Feng and the others, and he must hurry up and find them as quickly as possible. Furthermore looking at the strengths of Ye Feng and the others, it could be said they weren¡¯t very formidable, but also couldn¡¯t be killed so easily. Ye Xiwen was just hoping that a true master had not assumed personalmand of the Bai Mojiao stronghold in Thousand inds City. After hearing the voice of Ye Feng, Ye Xiwen was suddenly overjoyed and shouted immediately: ¡°Brother, wait a minute, I aming!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s stature shuttled in the direction from where Ye Feng¡¯s voice originated, and was about to tear Zhen method with his bare hands, but suddenly, arge number of Huanmo appeared to block his way along with Bai Mojiao followers and some great devils also mixed in with them. All of these Huanmo were in the Xiantian realm. Bai Mojiao followers were also at the Xiantian fourth stage or Xiantian fifth stage, and not just that, even many of those great devils were adults, i.e., they were at Xiantian sixth stage. There were some great devil captains, mixed in the crowd, tomand the other great devils and strength of these captains was very high. ¡°Jie Jie, it was really a good decision to trap the disciples of Yi Yuan School here. Now we can expect that the disciples of Yi Yuan School will keep oning to save theirrades and then we will kill them all.¡± A great devil licked his lips with its scarlet tongue and said with a cruel smile on his face. When Ye Xiwen heard this, he finally understood why Ye Feng was able to send a distress message through his summoning Talisman. So it was n of these cunning devils all along to lure other disciples of Yi Yuan School and kill them. However, how could there be so many devil race and Bai Mojiao followers at one ce? It seemed like this should be a very important stronghold of Bai Mojiao. At this time, countless thoughts flew into his mind. It was obvious that at present, he was standing in front of a huge trap which was set to attract disciples of Yi Yuan School. However, even so, there was no other way to save Ye Feng and the others. He had no other choice but to fall into the trap himself and look for Ye Feng and the others and then formte a n to get out of this trap. ¡°You devil bastards!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted then took a step and his figure turned into a streamer and vanished, and the very next instant, his figure appeared high in the sky, right above the Zhen method. While he was in the air, he chopped out his long de and instantly released a 10 meters long Daomang that immediately rushed towards Zhen method. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The Huanmo devils who tried to block this huge and terrifying Daoguang were instantly chopped into pieces. ¡°Boom!¡± A 10 meters long terrifying Daoguang smashed into the huge Zhen method. The Zhen method shook violently but didn¡¯t copse. From the deepest part of the Zhen method, came a burst of strangeughter, apparently Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack rmed a formidable devil who was currently far away. In the deepest parts of the Zhen method, stood a huge specter, so huge that even the houses at his side appeared somewhat tiny inparison. His eyes were like a pair of hugenterns in general, and right now, he seemed to be keeping a close eye on a huge spiraling vortex which was right in front of him. From this vortex, waves of cold and sinister moqi was unceasinglying out, and every once in a while, a Huanmo or a great devil woulde out as well. ¡°Honorable Devilmander, a Xiantian sixth stage disciple of Yi Yuan School has arrived!¡± At this time, a great devil walked next to the huge specter and informed him about Ye Xiwen¡¯s arrival. (NT: Sixth stage :P) ¡°Just one? Well better than nothing!¡± The huge specter said and his voice came out like the sound of a mighty bell in general. ¡°Our aim should be to kill as many of these humans as we can. The more humans die the better for our ns, and our n has just begun, but make sure that those kids trapped in Zhen method do not die. We will continue to use them to attract more and more experts!¡± The huge specterughed and said. A lot of Huanmo and great devils had surrounded Ye Xiwen, as well as those followers of Bai Mojiao, and their dense and gloomy aurapletely enveloped him. Ye Xiwen shouted loudly then shot his palm, and immediately, a coiling dragon roared violently and soared high in the sky. This coiling dragon was made up of Zhen Yuan and a part of its long body was coiled around Ye Xiwen to protect him. This coiling dragon held the power of authentic Dragon qi which instantly went berserk and some of the weak Huanmo and many night owls were instantly annihted by the Dragon qi. Moqi was the darkest form of Yin energy in the world whereas Dragon qi was its nemesis, because Dragons were said to be the rulers of heaven and earth and were noble beings that possessed mighty Yang energy in the form of Dragon qi. (NT: Yin = -ve energy ; Yang = +ve energy) The small and weak devils were swept by Dragon qi and immediately decimated. When the formidable great devils bumped into Dragon qi, their bodies suddenly caught fire and started to burn violently causing unbearable burning pain. Ye Xiwen was protecting himself by surrounding his body with the Dragon qi of the coiling dragon, because right now, this coiling dragon was just like a big disaster in the eyes of those devils. In the past, if Ye Xiwen had resorted to ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ then using it once would have consumed 10% of his Xiantian Zhen Qi, but now that the Xiantian Zhen Qi energy within his body had been transformed into Xiantian Zhen Yuan, the consumption rate was almost negligible. And now that the Zhen Yuan consumption rate was negligible, he could finally use ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ for longer periods of time. Earlier, this move was his secret one shot kill method but now he could use it as much as he wanted to, which could be considered hisrgest harvest during hisst session of training. (NT: I think during hisst breakthrough, Ye Xiwen haspletely transformed Zhen Qi into Zhen Yuan. I will read the chapters ahead to clear this doubt) However the Zhen Yuan consumption rate for ¡®Divine Dragon flings its tail¡¯ was stillrge and using it even once consumed half of the Zhen Yuan from his body and couldn¡¯t be used frequently. Just like earlier when he couldn¡¯t use ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ due to high Zhen Qi consumption rate. Using the Dragon qi armor, Ye Xiwen managed to safeguard himself in the sea of devils. The devils couldn¡¯t get close to Ye Xiwen because the Dragon qi that was surrounding him. Some of the devils tried to approach him and caught fire and started screaming incessantly. Ye Xiwen immediately brandished his long de and disyed his profound de skills by beheading all of the devils who had been injured by Dragon qi. They simply couldn¡¯t escape his de and were split in half. The coiling dragon, which was coiled around Ye Xiwen¡¯s body at this moment, seemed to be made up of pure Lingqi and whenever it used its ws to grab devils, their bodies would instantly explode. Earlier, Ye Xiwen wasn¡¯t aware of this that Dragon qi was actually the nemesis of devils. He just noticed that when devils at Xiantian fifth stage and less came close to him, their bodies instantly caught fire and they started to scream, giving an easy opportunity to Ye Xiwen to behead them. Xiantian sixth and seventh stage devils were not a match of Ye Xiwen, who was relying on Dragon qi to protect his body. Whenever formidable devils and great devils tried to approach him, they were first injured by the Dragon qi then chopped down by Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de. Even great devil captains, who were at the Xiantian eight stage, couldn¡¯t get close to his body. But Ye Xiwen also knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to endure like this for too long. The consumption rate of Zhen Yuan was just too great in order to kill these devils and even if the Zhen Yuan within his body was extremely vigorous and profound, far more vigorous than an ordinary master of Xiantian sixth stage, but he was still unable to withstand such a high consumption rate. There were just too many of these devils, perhaps handling these numbers was not a big deal for a true master, but for Ye Xiwen, this was too much. He didn¡¯t know where these devils wereing out from because they just kept oning, there was simply no end to them which was quite astonishing. Ye Xiwen secretly guessed in his heart that this was probably not just a stronghold of Bai Mojiao and was something else entirely. Perhaps they opened up a portal to the Devil world and were continuously sending devils from the other side, otherwise how could there be an endless number of devils. Generally speaking, if so many devils were being sent from the Devil world, then it must have been discovered by now. Ye Xiwen became more anxious as he understood that he couldn¡¯t dy anymore and waste his energy on these endless numbers of devils. He shot his palm and immediately, a dragon roared and flew out of his palm, then its two formidable ws pierced into the Zhen method and tore a hole in it. ¡®Whoosh!¡¯ Seeing the gap in the Zhen method, Ye Xiwen dived in like a drill and wormed his way inside the Zhen method. When the devils saw him forcing his way into the Zhen method, they also rushed after him to squeeze in only to give up in the end when the Zhen method replenished itself and waspleted once again. Ye Xiwen searched inside the Zhen method for a moment and finally found the members of Qian Yu faction, and at this time, they were surrounded by many devils whose attacks were being constantly repelled by the Magical sound flute of Zhangsun Yuyin. Ye Xiwen took a look and saw Ye Feng, Ye Ruxue, Zhang Yang, Zhangsun Yuyin, Yan Chiling and other familiar people, almost all of his friends were here, but he noticed that all of them were the masters of Xiantian realm. Could it be that this was some sort of group activity of the top members who were also collectively considered the backbone of Qian Yu faction? If these people were annihted then Qian Yu faction could basically be considered as finished! ¡°Brother, why have youe here!¡± Ye Xiwen approached and asked. ¡°It¡¯s entirely my fault. I did not consider the safety of everyone and thought this would be a small matter!¡± Ye Feng sighed and said. ¡°How can this be just your fault? All of us made the n together toe here, but we never thought that these insidious devils could be so cunning!¡± Yan Chiling immediately said in a loud voice. Then Ye Xiwen heard the whole matter from Ye Ruxue and finally came to know about the sequence of events. Several days ago, a disciple of Qian Yu faction heard the news that his hometown, Thousand Inds City, suffered an invasion from Bai Mojiao, so he decided to go back and inspect. Later Yan Chiling came to know about this matter from him and wanted everyone to participate in this n and turned this into the first group activity of Qian Yu faction since its establishment, but taking into ount the current turmoil and danger outside, he decided to bring only Xiantian level masters with him. ording to the information they had received, it just looked like a simple matter of attack by the followers of Bai Mojiao, so they did not mind, but they didn¡¯t know about the actual danger until they arrived here and discovered that Thousand Inds City was empty and everyone in the entire city had been massacred. Over a million people had been turned into blood sacrifices by the devils. And while they were trying to escape, they got trapped in this Zhen method. ¡°What did you say? Everyone in the city has been sacrificed!¡± Ye Xiwen held his breath and asked in surprised tone. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Looking at the increased size of MGS chapters and more time and effort I have to put during trantion, I have decided to increase the donation amount to $40/sponsored chapter) Chapter 130 – Reinforcement from Yi Yuan School Chapter 130 ¨C Reinforcement from Yi Yuan School ¡°What did you say? Everyone in the city has been sacrificed!¡± Ye Xiwen held his breath and asked in surprised tone. Ye Xiwen could not hold his surprise, after all, the poption of over a million people lived in a big city like Thousand Inds City. And since more than a million people had been massacred to be used as blood sacrifice by the devils, a terrifying thing was soon going to be born at this ce. Just looking at the resentment of a million lives that had been ughtered as blood sacrifices, it could be imagined how horrifying this situation could turn into. The dignified looking Ye Feng nodded and said: ¡°Although I do not know what these devils are actually trying to do, but it can only be something extraordinary and ominous!¡± Zhangsun Yuyin, Yan Chiling and the others also nodded at Ye Feng¡¯s point. Although their current strength was nothing inparison to the formidable masters present in the Main Sect, but they were originally considered as the elites in their respective sub-schools and other outer major forces, so their experience was not bad, though they did not know what the devil race was trying to do here in Thousand Inds City, but it was certainly not a good thing. ¡°It¡¯s entirely my fault, I should have thought with a clear mind before sending you a distress message.¡± Ye Feng said in a somewhat self-ming tone, ¡°Even your arrival is unable to change anything rather yet another person fell into enemy¡¯s trap. It¡¯s my fault to not think this though properly.¡± ¡°Brother, it¡¯s not your fault.¡± Ye Xiwen shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s the n of those devils all along to use you all as hostage and attract Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciples.¡± Ye Xiwen told them everything he previously heard from the devils, and after hearing that, theplexions of many disciples suddenly paled, because if that really was the case, then these devils were certainly too vicious and could not be taken lightly. They were too cunning and deceitful! ¡°Then what should we do now?¡± A disciple said in a worried voice. ¡°This is our only chance!¡± Ye Xiwen immediately said in a loud voice and attracted everyone¡¯s attention, ¡°These devil bastards are definitely nning something big as it takes a lot of time to set up such an borate trap. They even have the audacity to dare and ambush the disciples of Yi Yuan School and I think they are relying on the strength of some high-level monster because I saw moqi soaring in the sky and there should be a formidable great devil who has assumed personalmand of this set up. We have been lucky so far but who knows what happenster, therefore we still have a chance of survival and that is to escape from here when a formidable expertes from our school, then we can take advantage of the chaos and run away.¡± Ye Xiwen said this confidently because he knew this trap would be the main reason why Yi Yuan School would send a formidable expert, because this devil set up was creating too much disturbance and was very loud and there were a lot of formidable experts in Yi Yuan School. A major power like Yi Yuan School wouldn¡¯t sit idly when such a loud devil set up was working out in open in Zhen Wu Jie. However at this time, this n was going to work only if these devils do not change their mind to keep the hostages alive, because if devil race decided to grind them to death, then it would be an easy job for them. The situation looked dangerous because a lot of devils were trying to encircling their group, as if nning arge scale attack. ¡°Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and a coiling dragon roared violently and suddenly came out of his palm and soared into the sky. Its roars resounded everywhere then the huge body of this dragon coiled around Ye Xiwen¡¯s body to give him protection. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de dance released Daoguang which rushed towards the surrounding devils and simply chopped them down like vegetables. They just couldn¡¯t get close to him, and asionally, a few who somehow managed to get close to him were caught by the ws of the coiling dragon and exploded. This coiling dragon had a soul and didn¡¯t need specificmands from Ye Xiwen and attacked the nearby devils on its own. ¡°Brother Ye is insanely strong!¡± The crowd of disciples from Qian Yu faction was baffled by Ye Xiwen¡¯s insane disy of strength, it was like he was the invincible god of death for these devils. They suddenly came to understand how Ye Xiwen had been able to breach inside the Zhen method even when he was surrounded by numerous devils. Now they knew that devil race trapped them in here in order to attract the disciples of Yi Yuan School, so it was obvious that they would setyers afteryers of trap in case core disciples were toe to save theirrades, but Ye Xiwen, who was not even a core disciple, was able to break through all those traps and that too totally unscathed. Ye Xiwen¡¯s performance was little too vigorous and the most important question was just what kind of power technique did he practice that whenever the devils tried to approach him, they either ended up getting wounded or die. They could almost feel lifeing out from this coiling dragon that was coiled around Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and they mistakenly thought that this coiling dragon wasn¡¯t made up of energy, but was an actual dragon, the one to rule the heaven and earth. ¡°What kind of power technique is this?¡± This question cropped up in the hearts of many disciples, because this power technique was simply too mboyant andpletely insane! Their own power techniques could be considered as absolutely authentic, but they could never bepared with such a terrifying power technique which was easily eradicating these devils that didn¡¯t seem to have any means to fight back. Just where he found such an incredible power technique which seemed like the true nemesis of these devils, making thempletely hopeless in the face of this coiling dragon, as they didn¡¯t know how to fight an opponent they couldn¡¯t even approach. Zhangsun Yuyin asionally yed the spiritual tool called ¡®Magical sound Flute¡¯ which made these disciples to exim and then there was Ye Xiwen¡¯s insane power technique ¡°Coiling Dragon palm¡± which was constantly shocking them. They were even more shocked when they suddenly noticed that Ye Xiwen¡¯s attacks were releasing Zhen Yuan. So, Ye Xiwen actually transformed Zhen Yuan but that was simply inconceivable because it meant that he was now a Xiantian sixth stage expert. There were strangeplexions on the faces of these disciples because they suddenly realized that Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation growth had simply approached a terrifying speed. When they first met Ye Xiwen, although he was somewhat famous, but his strength was notparable to Zhangsun Yuyin, Yan Chiling and other strongest disciples, but during the past six months, he actually managed to surpass them by such an extent, and not just surpass, he actually managed to transform Zhen Yuan. This cultivation growth speed made them to feel kind of helpless. Among Ye Feng, Yan Chiling, Zhangsun Yuyin and other members of Qian Yu faction, the strongest among them had just reached Xiantian forth stage. Although they had confidence that in a few years, they would be able to reach the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, but after a few years, just what kind of cultivation level would Ye Xiwen be having, just thinking about this made them to gasp. Ye Feng was looking at Ye Xiwen with aplicated look in his eyes, thinking in his heart that he must protect his little brother at all times, but the situation reversed and now he was being rescued by his little brother. His little brother disappeared without a trace few months ago and had now been reced by an extremely formidable and brave figure. Though Ye Feng still thought of Ye Xiwen as a little brother who needed protection, but Ye Xiwen was capable enough to act independently and could take care of himself. He was not afraid of Zhen Yuan drying up from over consumption, because in the event of such a situation, he could draw back to rest, swallow a medicinal pill and replenish the consumed Zhen Yuan in his body. For others, the area inside the Zhen method was full of moqi, and they were suffering to breathe, but for Ye Xiwen, it was no different from the outside world, because the mysterious space in his mind could convert the moqi into energy which he could then use to enhance his cultivation. This kind of ce where he continuously needed to fight was the best ce to enhance his cultivation. In a blink of an eye, one day, two days and finally three days passed. Ye Xiwen and other members of Qian Yu faction stayed inside the Zhen method for a total of three days, and during these three days, they got sufficient time to determine a lot of things. Although, during these three days, they moved towards the depths of Zhen method to avoid devil encounters, but they could still feel that somebody was frequently attacking the dome shaped Zhen method from outside which caused the Zhen method to vibrate violently, but apparently without sess, and soon the vibrations would disappear, obviously, not everyone possessed the insane strength like Ye Xiwen, who was able to force his way into the Zhen method. In the beginning when these attacks first started to impact on the Zhen method then everyone was excited, but now, they slowly got used to them. On this day, suddenly the moqi inside the entire Zhen method began to be violent and flow frantically in all directions. Everyone was surprised for a moment because they didn¡¯t expect what was happening in front of their eyes, because before, even some Xiantian ninth stage masters had forced their way into the enemy territory but even their strongest attacks had been unable to create so dramatic fluctuations inside the Zhen method. These fluctuations proved that the Zhen method was crazily operating and replenishing itself in order to resist the attacks from outside. ¡°Rumble!¡± The entire Zhen method violently shook like never before. A look of joy appeared on the faces of everyone. Now it was certain that a strong figure finally appeared to save them, increasing their chances of going out, which was naturally good news for them. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt that the entire Zhen method spread throughout the central part of Thousand Inds City instantly cracked, and was immediately secretly speechless with admiration, too horrifying, and this expert¡¯s strength was probably even more than that true master, Luo Yifan. It could be said that the strength of this expert was muchrger than the strengths of ordinary true disciples. However, the delighted expressions on the faces of everyone suddenly turned serious, after all, they were still not out of the woods and this was their only chance to get out of this mess, but devil race was waiting outside, and could give a vicious blow to them any time. ¡°Listen everyone, we must pay attention and be careful of the sneak attacks of these devil bastards!¡± Yan Chiling shouted and everyone nodded as they themselves knew that this was probably the most critical moment. ¡°Rumble!¡± There was yet another terrifying explosion, all of a sudden, arge gap opened up on the Zhen method revealing the gray sky through the gap while the whole method began to vacite. The sunlight projected inside through the gap, everyone looked up towards the gap and actually saw an expert d in golden robes and there was double-edged golden sword in his hand, clearly visible handsome facial features, and even the color of his hair and eyes was actually golden, giving him the appearance of a golden god of war. An invincible breath was surging around him revealing his horrifying aura. At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, with the sunlighting from behind him, he appeared like a celestial being, and it seemed as if he was the only one to exist between the heaven and earth. ¡°Bold devils, you really have great courage, quickly hand over the disciples of my Yi Yuan School and I will leave your whole corpse intact!¡± The golden man spoke which resounded throughout Thousand Inds City like a horrifying thunder p. Some weak Houtian realm weak devils and Bai Mojiao disciples were instantly killed by these horrifying sonic waves. One could see that his cultivation level was far more than that of Luo Yifan, almost a hundred times stronger. ¡°You really talk big, could it be that humans these days are usually so arrogant?¡± A mighty voice came from the deepest part of the Zhen method, ¡°It just so happens that my devil racecks a formidable human soul!¡± At this time between the speeches, a huge specter came out from the deepest parts of the Zhen method and flew up into the air. The devil aura of this huge specter was so dark and overwhelming that arge portion of the bright sunny sky was instantly obscured by massive dark clouds. The strength of this huge specter was equally matched with the strength of the golden man. In this huge specter¡¯s eyes shed an ominous red light and he seemed just like an ancient devil god who hade back to life. He conveniently grasped his ws and the space began to fluctuate violently under the influence of his sharp ws which was an exceptionally terrifying sight to behold. The two peerless gods of war were on a verge of a deadly battle. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 131 – Qi Feifan Chapter 131 ¨C Qi Feifan The strength of these two peerless masters was not something Ye Feng and the other Xiantian realm experts could hold a candle to. ¡°The essence and blood soul of a peerless master are a hundred times more useful than thousands of these mediocre people!¡± The sinister grin appeared on the face of the huge specter, which appeared iparably cruel, the moqi dispersed out of his body in which the souls of dead people could be clearly seen. It was a gigantic devil, at least five meters tall, with its whole body covered with ck scales, four limbs like humans but had deadly sharp ws, a long tail dancing on his back like the tail of a tiger on hunt. Everyone suddenly recognized that it was actually a giant devil, one of the various species found in Devil world. Some of the features of a giant devil were its exceptionally huge build and it also possessed great strength and were considered a part of the main force of devil army. It was said thatpared to the great devils, the cannon fodder of devil race, the adults of giant devils could grow up to 4 meters and possessed strength no less than the masters of true realm. And this huge specter was definitely more than five meters tall and seemed like the leader of other giant devils and possessed tremendous strengthpared to other giant devils. ¡°Ominousrge blood Zhen method, you filthy devil, you actually blood sacrificed the entire city!¡± The golden man said in a cold voice, ¡°It seems that you are doing something extraordinary, that you actually don¡¯t even do it quietly in secret, but you do it on such a grand scale just to attract the disciples of my Yi Yuan School.¡± ¡°Jie Jie!¡± The giant devil leader strangelyughed and said, ¡°You guessed it right, and I never thought that my n will attract such a peerless expert like you, but it just so happens that your arrival has saved me a lot of trouble.¡± The golden man was looking straight in the eyes of the huge specter, but there was no fear in his eyes, he was simply like a golden god of war, who came back to life. Both his eyes were looking around observing the situation and discovered that innumerable devils had been deployed on the periphery of therge Zhen method. However he was not afraid, on the contrary, there was a trace of excitement on his face. Then, suddenly the golden manughed loudly and said: ¡°You filthy beast, this Qi Feifan has killed too many devils before, but so far, I have yet to kill a giant devil, it just so happens that I am going to offer you as a sacrifice to my sword¡± ¡°What, he is Qi Feifan!¡± Yan Chiling said aloud in a surprised tone. Everyone was immediately shocked when they came to know that the golden figure in the sky was actually Qi Feifan. (NT: Feifan means ¡®Out of the ordinary¡¯) Thetent information about the great achievements of this Qi Feifan suddenly emerged in the mind of Ye Xiwen. Qi Feifan was truly worthy of being called ¡®out of the ordinary¡¯. He was truly a legendary expert, and even in the sea of geniuses present in Yi Yuan School, he was considered a legend, simply a myth! Since childhood, he started practicing the Sect¡¯s martial arts, and his cultivation almost rose dramatically at a rocketing speed, then in a short time, he broke from the Xiantian realm into the true realm, defeated numerous enemies, and now, no one knew what his current cultivation level actually was. It was said that he was at the eighth stage of truth realm and some people said that he was actually at the ninth stage of truth realm. There were many rumors that Qi Feifan had already entered half a step into the ¡®legendary realm¡¯. ¡®Legendary realm¡¯ was the realm just above the truth realm, and the superiors of various peaks in the Yi Yuan School were in the legendary realm. Qi Feifan¡¯s cultivation level was suspected to be very close and almost approaching the legendary realm, and in the future, he would surely enter into the legendary realm andpete for the position of the leader disciple, the most popr position given to one of the four strongest disciples of Yi Yuan School. And although both Qi Feifan and Luo Yifan were the masters of the truth realm, but Qi Feifan¡¯s strength was on a whole another level inparison to the strength of Luo Yifan, who was at most at the first stage or second stage of truth realm. Both were in the truth realm but the gap between them was like heaven and earth. It was said that the strength gap among the masters of different stages was much bigger in the truth realm than it was in the Xiantian realm. This expert was definitely a myth, a legendary character. And that giant devil leader obviously couldn¡¯t look down on him, because both sides could be described as evenly matched, and once they would start to fight, it could be considered as a stunning battle. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t hesitate for any longer and said to the disciples of Qian Yu faction: ¡°Once they start to fight, I am afraid even the heaven and earth would be shattered, we must seize this opportunity to escape.¡± All of the disciples nodded because they were also thinking the same thing. That giant devil leader made the first move, his big hand grasping toward the void and suddenly grabbed a giant trident from the void then struck towards Qi Feifan, and in a sh, it directly punctured the space, and in the next second, it appeared in front of Qi Feifan. The long sword in Qi Feifan¡¯s hand struck out a golden sun-like Swordqi which moved forward towards the iing attack. ¡°Boom!¡± The moqi and Swordqi fiercely collided into each other and the space seemed to vibrate like a piece of paper, rapidly shaking up and down, and the fluctuations produced spread amotion among the entire devil army. In the sky, their battle had just started. Both of them were peerless masters and stood at the peak of truth realm. Each and every one of their moves looked exceptionally simple, but inside these simple moves, the principles of the truth realm were properly assimted. Under the attacks of the two peerless masters, the surrounding air was constantly exploding, and as the fight between the two became quicker, their overall destructive power gradually spread throughout the entire Thousand Inds City, and at this rate, it seemed that the whole city would ultimately be destroyed in the burning time of half an incense stick. When such a high level battle between the two peerless masters started to heat up in the sky, the disciples of the Yi Yuan School took this oppuritunity to have a glimpse at this battle because they might never get an opportunity to witness such a battle in this lifetime. Suddenly all of the disciples were totally mesmerized by the battle, although they were just watching the two fight, but for the masters at the level of Qi Feifan, each and every one of their moves contained the essence of martial arts, and they were directly looking at the wless disy of martial arts and devil arts, giving them an impulse to enhance their own cultivation as soon as possible to be able to disy the same level of martial arts. Ye Xiwen also looked very ecstatic and thrilled, butpared to others, his ecstasy waspletely different. He began to crazily burn the spirit stones in his storage ring and injected the produced Lingqi into the mysterious space. The mysterious space began to capture the scene that Ye Xiwen was watching at the moment, which seemed as if the silk was being spun into a cocoon essence and pouring into his mind. Ye Xiwen also had a fascinated look on his face while just from watching the borate fight of those two masters, making him have a feeling of having a breakthrough from the sudden epiphany. The sound of numerous shouts abruptly resounded from the periphery of the Zhen method and arge troop of devils rushed towards Ye Xiwen. They were probably thinking that now that their great leader would most probably kill and consume Qi Feifan, then these Yi Yuan School disciples no longer had any value as hostages, and they must strike Ye Xiwen, who was the most dangerous entity among these disciples. ¡°Begin, everyone rush outside!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and led the way. Almost all of the attacking devils were aiming for Ye Xiwen, but none of them were going close to him because of the coiling dragon coiled around his body. All of the four limbs and one tail of the coiling dragon was brandished and fended off the devilsing towards the group. With Ye Xiwen on the front, those weak and small devils were instantly obliterated and coupled with the might of his long de, Ye Feng and other disciples followed after Ye Xiwen through the narrow opening made towards the Zhen method¡¯s periphery. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted loudly, and his palm sted, and another coiling dragon flew out of his palm towards the Zhen method, waving its strong four limbs, and tore a gap in the Zhen method with its sharp ws. The disciples of the Qian Yu faction first dived out of this gap, and in the end, Ye Xiwen also jumped out, and as soon as he came out, the Zhen method immediately restored, and the devils on the inside didn¡¯t get a chance toe out after Ye Xiwen, and were left inside the Zhen method shrieking angrily. However, there weren¡¯t many devils outside the Zhen method, because a majority of the devils stationed outside the Zhen method had been annihted by the fallout of the battle between the two peerless masters. Just when they came out of the Zhen method, suddenly, a wave of terrifying fallout rolled towards them. This was actually nothing for Ye Xiwen, because his body had be extremely formidable by practicing an extremely powerful power technique ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, turning his body like that of a tyrant, so this fallout couldn¡¯t hurt him. But not counting Ye Xiwen, if it was some other master of the Xiantian realm then facing this terrifying fallout would be dangerous. Fortunately, at this critical time, Zhangsun Yuyin took out the magical flute and the power of this pseudo-spiritual tool disyed itself and blocked the terrifying fallout. (NT: Magical flute is a pseudo-spiritual tool, that¡¯s why it can be used by Zhangsun Yuyin who has not transformed Zhen Yuan, needed to manipte a true spiritual tool.) After the crowd ran for a distance of almost 100 Li, they finally stopped after wearing themselves out by running at the fastest pace achievable, but at the moment, all of them had rejoicing faces at the moment. They probably thought that this time, they would not be able to escape, but they not just escaped, they did it with zero casualties. Although there was a major role of Qi Feifan to y in their sessful escape, but it became possible only under the leadership of Ye Xiwen who was leading and defending them from the devils all the time. If Ye Xiwen was not there, they probably would have been dead a few days ago, not to mention, without Ye Xiwen, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to face the huge attack of devils near the periphery of Zhen method a while ago, anding out of the Zhen method would have been impossible as well. Therefore all of them were looking at Ye Xiwen with their eyes filled with gratitude, especially the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school felt even more gratitude towards him, because it could be said that Ye Xiwen had repeatedly saved them at multiple asions, and without him, they probably would have died some time ago before this incident. After this incident, although these people suffered mental stress, but after spending thest few days under the leadership of Ye Xiwen, they gave him a tacit recognition as the elder of Qian Yu faction. Although Ye Xiwen was originally an elder of Qian Yu faction, but there were a lot of people who were not actually convinced because Ye Xiwen was almost regardless of the daily matters of Qian Yu faction, so how could such a person receive the position of an elder. But now it lookedpletely different because Ye Xiwen would often appear at the most critical time to save the members of the faction, in the most critical time, which was the most important thing than handling the daily matters of Qian Yu faction! After surviving today, the disciples of Qian Yu faction fully and finally recognized Ye Xiwen as their leader. ¡°Hurry up and go everyone, otherwise it would be bothersome if those devils came after us.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Little brother, won¡¯t youe with us?¡± Ye Ruxue asked in a worried tone. ¡°You all go first. I must take care of a small matter before I leave this ce.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Everyone thought that Ye Xiwen was the strongest among them and so effortlessly brought them out of their of devils, so long as he didn¡¯t bump into that giant devil leader, handling other devils should not be tough for him. After all, everyone had one of two secrets, so when Ye Xiwen said that he had a matter to handle, no one tried to ask him about the details. After the group left, Ye Xiwen used ¡°Restraining breath technique¡± and suddenly began twining theyer afteryer of moqi around his body, then put on the ck cloak of a Bai Mojiao follower he caught earlier. Looking from afar, he simply looked like a follower of Bai Mojiao. Without wasting any time, Ye Xiwen immediately turned around and retraced the same route he came from. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: So guys, as I mentioned few days ago, the size of MGS chapters have increased and I have be a lot busiertely because tranting pending chapters is not the only pending work I have finishedtely. I had to finish a lot of other back logs as well. I am decreasing the Regr releases to 3 and maximum sponsored releases to 9. So 12 chapters in a week! Earlier it was 18 chapters in a week (4 regr + 14 sponsored) but they were small, and now that each chapter is at least 1.5x of the old size. Using simple mathematics, (12 x 1.5 = 18). Basically, I am decreasing the chapter count but I have to trante the same amount. Not happy with my irregrity? Fine, I don¡¯t have any other options anyway. I may not be able to follow the release schedule, me me all you want, but I cannot make shadow clones can I? haha) Chapter 132 – Tianyuan mirror Chapter 132 ¨C Tianyuan mirror After Ye Xiwen practiced ¡°Restraining breath technique¡± to the Dacheng realm, now, he could simte a variety of breaths, and could even imitate the body to some extent, but of course just imitate, not the genuine imitation, but at this time of chaos, he would be able to deceive those devils quite easily. At this time, a chaos was spread everywhere due to the terrifying force of collisions between the two peerless masters, and the destruction caused by their battle was absolutely shattering the heaven and earth. Ye Xiwen traced back the same route to go back and saw that the entire devil Zhen method had begun to operate, and an endless amount of blood qi also began to permeate and fill the air. This blood qi was produced as a result of the ughter of humans, who were blood sacrificed in the Thousand Inds City by the devil race. Once smelled, this environment filled with blood qi induced a disgusting taste along with nausea. Ye Xiwen thought in his heart that he absolutely couldn¡¯t let them seed otherwise it would lead to the urrence of a big disaster. Ye Xiwen mixed in with a devil troop and went straight inside the devil Zhen method along with them because now he was disguised as a follower with moqi covering his body, so he was not rejected by the devil Zhen method and easily went inside. After wearing the cloak of a Bai Mojiao follower, Ye Xiwen looked just like the other followers of Bai Mojiao without any visible difference, and none of those devils could see through his disguise. Ye Xiwen went all the way towards the deeper parts of the devil Zhen method, and after reaching there, he found a way leading to an underground cave. He was about to go inside when four great devils blocked his path. ¡°Lowly human, you crossed the line. This is not the ce where you humans can set foot on so casually.¡± A great devil said. Ye Xiwen thought that inside the devil army, it seemed the status of the followers of Bai Mojiao was quite low, and they were at least close to the bottom ranks, possibly belonging to the pawn ss. However Ye Xiwen was not in a mood to slow down and immediately chopped out his long de. A dazzling delight was released and rushed towards that great devil that was not prepared for this sudden attack and was instantly beheaded. The remaining three great devils also couldn¡¯t react because they didn¡¯t expect a lowly Bai Mojiao follower to suddenly attack them. Ye Xiwen instantly chopped out three de shadows of ¡®Missing moon beheader¡¯ and the three great devils were chopped into pieces. It was good for Ye Xiwen that they weren¡¯t paying attention and he was able to behead them so easily, otherwise, his only option would have been to resort to ¡®Coiling Dragon Palm¡¯ and it would have caused biggermotion near the entrance to the underground cave. Ye Xiwen no longer disguised as a follower of Bai Mojiao, but used the restraining breath technique once again to disguise as a great devil. Although he took the form of a great devil, but he had to assimte huge amount of moqi, enough that he should be able to fool those of the devil race. Ye Xiwen went all the way down the tunnel, and was surprised to find more and more great devils in the underground cave. While rounds after rounds ofplementary st waves of the fight between the giant devil leader and Qi Feifan was still undergoing above the ground, pretending as a great devil, Ye Xiwen smoothly went through the tunnel without any difficulty. Ye Xiwen went all the way down, and after some time, he saw a giant pool of blood, and a steady stream of endless amount of blood was flowing into this pool. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know where this flow of blood wasing from and being injected into the blood pool. The endless amount of blood was boiling inside the pool and he could clearly feel the blood qiing out of it. Ye Xiwen could also hear the grieving and resentment filled screams of peopleing from the blood. Even the warriors who practiced Xiedao would reject these resentments and grievances present in the atmosphere around the giant blood pool, but at the same time, the devil race did not care, rather they tried to increase the amount of such grievances in order to increase the power of blood sacrifice. (NT: Xiedao= ¡®Evil way¡¯ is a form of martial arts that was developed and practiced in ¡®Zhen Wu Jie¡¯ alongside the more famous ¡®Wudao¡¯. Wudao = Martial way) ¡®I will eradicate these beasts!¡¯ Although, after spending so much time in this world, it could be said that Ye Xiwen had be used to life and death, but when he saw this scene, he couldn¡¯t control his anger which instantly soared to the heavens. He finally understood why people of Zhen Wu Jie held extreme hatred for the devil race. So, it was actually not a war between two warrior groups who practiced different types of martial arts, this was actually a war between two races, where it hade to the situation of you die, I live! If these devils were not killed off entirely then they would most likely enve human race, or turn them into blood food. There was no other option left especially when Devil race had always been nning to invade Zhen Wu Jie. These two races couldn¡¯t coexist, because it was a matter of life and death! (NT: ÄãËÀÎÒ»î = you die, I live (idiom), two parties cannot coexist; ÉúËÀ´æÍö = matter of life and death) And at this time, it seemed that it was the most critical time for the devil Zhen method, because not only the blood in the giant pool was boiling, intermittent waves of blood was also being set off waves inside the giant pool. Anyone who would look at this scene would get a chill down their spine. Then, suddenly, violent fluctuations appeared in the blood pool, and when the devils in surroundings saw this scene, they immediately and hastily withdrew away from the giant pool and didn¡¯t dare to approach. ¡°Jie Jie, this lord is finally back!¡± Such arrogant words, but it was actually apanied with the voice of an innocent child, and at the same time, a scarlet colored mirror tumbled out from the rolling waves of blood along with a small child-like devil, dark little body, two long horns on his head, a pair of wings pping on his back, and a tail was constantly dancing behind him. Looking from afar, he looked exceptionally lovable. (NT: The devil refers to himself as ¡®daye¡¯ which is an arrogant way of referring to oneself) That scarlet mirror started to emit intermittent rays of light upwards and the entire cave was illuminated, which at the moment looked like a stretch of bloody world to Ye Xiwen. The devils in the surrounding were in awe and kneeled down on the ground as if trying to worship this little devil. To these devils, it seemed as if this little devil was a god-like figure. Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes suddenly shed and he decided in his heart that he absolutely couldn¡¯t let this dangerous devil out of the cave. At present, he just seemed to have born in this world and this was his weakest time. If allowed to grow up, he would surely bring disaster to this world. Ye Xiwen took a step and his physique turned into a streamer, and instantly flew towards the centre of the blood pool, a coiling dragon instantly coiled around his body, and the enormous vitality present in the dragon qi of the coiling dragon came in contact of the resentment lingering in the air and was instantly evaporated. He immediately chopped out his long de releasing a bright light that instantly chopped out towards the little devil. ¡°Puchi!¡± That little devil was instantly chopped into two halves. However immediately, the two sections of his corpse lifted up in the air, joined and the little devil was reborn again. He then suddenly shouted while pointing towards Ye Xiwen: ¡°You lowly great devil, how dare you raise your hands against a deity, are you trying to rebel!¡± Then suddenly the scarlet mirror on his side shone and released rays of light and Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was instantly exposed to this light. The coiling dragon, coiled around Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, suddenly and fiercely shook up, roared loudly, and the dragon qi and blood qi began to melt each together. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Seeing the current appearance of Ye Xiwen, the little devil suddenly gawked and was totally stunned, then he suddenly responded in a loud voice: ¡°You are not a devil!¡± Suddenly a wave of blood shot towards Ye Xiwen, but he jumped above the blood wave and instantly sprang towards the little devil. ¡°Capture him!¡± That little devil shouted in a crisp voice, and listening to hismand, suddenly, an endless number of devils lunged toward Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen disregarded the interference from other devils and directly rushed and arrived in front of the little devil, and in a sh, his palm turned into Cheng Long like w and advanced towards the little devil and grabbed his head firmly. Now the little devil couldn¡¯t escape, but the scarlet mirror in his hand suddenly released terrifying blood-red rays of light towards Ye Xiwen. (NT: Cheng Long = be the dragon = Jackie Chan¡¯s stage name.) Ye Xiwen¡¯s other hand also turned into Cheng Long like w, and a coiling dragon instantly shot out and sted into the blood-red rays of right and scattered them, while at the same time, he caught the scarlet mirror in his other hand. However this scarlet mirror was constantly exuding bloody-red rays of light that continued to prate into the dragon qi and the coiling dragon gradually melted and disappeared. Right after that, the sinister rays of light started to corrode the body of Ye Xiwen, and his body was instantly covered in blood. Immediately, a terrible pain surged straight inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind, but right at that time, the mysterious space inside his mind suddenly emitted bursts of divine rays of colorful light along Ye Xiwen¡¯s arms towards that scarlet mirror. ¡°Boom!¡± And the divine rays of colorful light actually suppressed the scarlet mirror. A cool breath spread inside his body and suddenly gave him afortable feeling. ¡°You lowly human, release this lord right this instant, otherwise!¡± The little devil shouted. ¡°Shut up or I¡¯ll strangle you to death!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted in a cold voice, but he couldn¡¯t crush him otherwise he would just take rebirth from the giant blood pool. If this was not the case, then Ye Xiwen would already have pped this arrogant little devil to death. Guided through his arm, Ye Xiwen¡¯s blood flowed over the scarlet mirror under the leadership of the divine rays of colorful light, and integrated into the scarlet mirror. Ye Xiwen suddenly got a vague feeling of being one with this scarlet mirror. ¡°No, impossible, how can this happen, how can Tianyuan mirror recognize you as its master?¡± The little devil¡¯splexion suddenly paled and he said in a trembling voice. Those devils had almost arrived in front of Ye Xiwen to attack him, when at this time, suddenly, a loud explosion urred and the roof of the cave disrupted and a huge figure severely fell from above and hit the ground making a huge crack. Ye Xiwen looked and saw that it was actually that giant devil leader. At this time, there were several bloody wounds on his body, the scales were ripped out of his chest area, one could see arge gaping hole in his body from whererge amount of blood was continuously pouring out, and the inner flesh was also visible. And from the huge hole in the cave roof, one could see Qi Feifan¡¯s figure floating in the sky, his whole body was exuding golden light, from afar, he simply looked like a golden god of war, as if watching ants on the ground from his star arched throne high above in the sky. Any moqi that tried to approach him would bepletely swallowed by his golden Zhen Yuan, which clearly disyed his extremely terrifying prowess. The difference between the strength of these peerless masters was now clearly evident. ¡°Devil bastards, prepare to die.¡± Qi Feifan said in a cold voice. Qi Feifan¡¯s sword dazzled like a sun releasing a terrifying Swordqi which instantly came crashing down into the underground cave, and when the blood qi and resentment present inside the underground cave came in contact with this dazzling Swordqi, it instantly evaporated and disappeared without a trace. The giant devil leader instantly lifted his trident up to receive the impact of the terrifying Swordqi. ¡°Boom!¡± A horrifying collision urred and the tremendous powers of the two peerless masters instantly scattered in the entire cavern. Weak devils were annihted instantly, whereas the formidable devils were seriously injured and were sted away in all directions inside the cave. When this terrifying st wave swept towards the body of Ye Xiwen, the scarlet mirror in his hand sensed it, and it immediately released rays of red light towards the iing st wave and protected Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen no longer hesitated and quickly rushed skimming all the way through the tunnel leading outside of the cave. Fortunately, the two formidable peerless masters were concentrating on the showdown and didn¡¯t notice him running away. He smoothly escaped from the cave through the underground tunnel, and this time, almost all of the devils were dead inside the tunnel. Ye Xiwen came out of the tunnel and smoothly escaped at full speed. He stopped and rxed only after running over a hundred miles away. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 133 – Returns to Yi Yuan School Chapter 133 ¨C Returns to Yi Yuan School After running for over 100 Li, Ye Xiwen could no longer feel theplementary st waves of the fight between the two peerless masters. He finally rxed and could not help but muttered: ¡°These masters of the truth realm are really terrifying.¡± ¡°Lowly human, do you think that they are just ordinary masters of the truth realm? That blockhead giant leader is already at the peak of ninth stage of the truth realm, whereas that human has already entered half-a-step into the legendary realm, otherwise how else can they cause suchrge scale destruction?¡± The little demon held in Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand suddenly said in a mocking manner. Ye Xiwen remembered that he was still clutching that little devil in his hand. Ye Xiwen looked towards the little devil and asked in a leisurely tone: ¡°What is your breed devil?¡± Ye Xiwen was grabbing him firmly in his hand but he was not worried that it would resist, because a moment ago, he had noticed that it was very difficult to kill this little devil, but at the same time, it almost had no strength, or it was possible that its strength originated from that scary scarlet mirror. Ye Xiwen still couldn¡¯tpletely control the scarlet mirror, but he could feel that this scarlet mirror seemed to be directly connected with his mind. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t figure out why this happened. This plot of suddenly getting recognized as master by dropping the blood was pure nonsense because only a spiritual tool at ¡®Divine tool¡¯ level or above would identify its master. Also, for the so-called getting recognized as the master of an original tool, it was necessary for an expert to condense his own Zhen Yuan into the tool, and continue doing so for days and nights, while sacrificing his own training, and even after that, he would only be able to attain a preliminary level connection with the tool. Ye Xiwen carefully thought back for a moment and realized that this must have happened when mysterious space protected him when he came under a major attack by the scarlet mirror. Then it was certainly rted to the mysterious space in his mind, although he was still somewhat confused, but it was certain that as long as he controlled the scarlet mirror, this little devil would simply have no strength to fight back. ¡°Devil? Don¡¯t you confuse this lord with the likes of those inferior creatures.¡± The little devil said with a clear disdain on its face. ¡°Then what the hell are you?¡± Ye Xiwen asked because if it was not a devil then what in the hell was it. In the mind of Ye Xiwen shed the various documents and records from the time when Devil world invaded Zhen Wu Jie. In those documents, there was a proper description about various species of devils, but he looked at this little devil, he truly couldn¡¯t figure out its kind. ¡°This lord is a tool spirit, you don¡¯t know about tool spirits?¡± The little devil said then looked towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Tool spirit!¡± Ye Xiwen was shocked when he heard this little devil referring to itself as a tool spirit. He certainly knew what a tool spirit was, the so-called spirit of a spiritual tool. It was said the tool spirits live in the spiritual tools and possess spiritual powers as well intelligence, but the intelligence level of these tool spirits was quite low and could only bepared to the intelligence of a dog, and some of them became good friends with the experts who owned the spiritual tool. However, there were cases when the spiritual tools would give rise to tool spirits who developed wisdom after some chance coincidences, and sometime, they could have the intelligenceparable to the IQ level of a 4 or 5 year old human kid and this level of intelligence was considered very good. But, this little devil¡¯s IQ level was higher than an average person which was definitely extremely rare. ¡°Although it¡¯s an unfathomable mystery but if the Tianyuan mirror had not suddenly and unexpectedly recognized you as its master then do you think that a lowly human would still be alive and talking right now.¡± The little devil looked at Ye Xiwen with a look of contempt on its face. It was evident that the little devil simply looked down on humanity. ¡°You are currently in my grasp and I know a thousand ways to torment you.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and thought that apparently, this little devil tool spirit still didn¡¯t understand the situation it was in right now. Now he was the master of Tianyuan mirror and it was merely the tool spirit of the mirror, so if it wanted to pick a fight with him, then he naturally had a lot of ways to deal with this little devil tool spirit. The little devil didn¡¯t know about the cruel torture methods Ye Xiwen was talking about, its small body suddenly shivered and a trace of fear appeared on its face. ¡°What do you think Tianyuan mirror really is, that¡¯s our mighty Devil king¡¯s instrument, you do know what a Devil king is? He is the ruler of ten thousand worlds!¡± The little devil said in a loud voice. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re still in my hands!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered loudly and it was clear from the expression on his face that he simply didn¡¯t care about Devil King and other stuff rted to Devil world. ¡°You lowly human ......¡± The little devil suddenly got furious at Ye Xiwen¡¯s attitude and started struggling in his hand. ¡°Shut up, try and annoy me one more time and I will exterminate you!¡± Ye Xiwen got sick of hearing it saying lowly human over and over. The existence of a tool spiritrgely depended on its master, and when the link between the minds of the master and the tool spirit is strong then the master could bring out the true abilities and formidable power present in the original spiritual tool, and while cooperating with the tool spirit, the power of the original spiritual tool would also increase a lot, but if the tool spirit showed disloyalty towards its master, then it was better to erase it in order to obtainplete control over the original spiritual tool. If ordinary people managed to get their hands on an original spiritual tool then they would generally get rid of the tool spirit, and when the tool sprit was gone, they trained their own mind to establish a new connection with the original spirit tool. After hearing Ye Xiwen¡¯s threatening words, the little devil suddenly shut up, while it secretly cursed in its heart, just what was this unfathomable mystery that it suddenly had to recognize this lowly human as its master. However Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t care what this little devil was thinking, he immediately whistled and called his red-crowned crane. As soon as the red-crowned crane heard the whistle, it immediately flew down pping its huge wings. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t stay there for any longer, just leapt on the crane¡¯s back and went straight in the direction of Yi Yuan School. This time, it could be said that his harvest was not small, especially when Tianyuan mirror was considered, although he still did not know the specific details about the function of this mirror, but he had plenty of time to slowly figure it out. But, right now, it was time to go back and participate in the seed disciplepetition, although at present, Bai Mojiao rebellion was still going on everywhere, but for Yi Yuan School and other major powers, it was not a big matter. To a major sect like Yi Yuan School, it was just another Bai Mojiao rebellion that it had suppressed once before, in fact, to the present, several of therge Sects had not yet contributed towards suppressing the rebellion. Right now, Yi Yuan School only mobilized only a part of its true strength and nothing much. Only a hundred true disciples were participating in suppressing this rebellion on behalf of Yi Yuan School, and this number was only a small part of the total number of true disciples present in Yi Yuan School. Yi Yun School used to deal with these kinds of things in an orderly proceeding which was the result of the heritage and strength gathered in a millenniumrge Sect. Ye Xiwen already made up his mind that he would give his best in the seed disciplepetition, because after bing a seed disciple, his status would naturally be different than now, evenparable to some of the core disciples. ¡°What, you are going to Sect to participate in some seed disciplepetition!¡± ¡°Now, you are the owner of the great Tianyuan mirror, how can you waste your time on such a silly thing!¡± ¡°Conquer the world, as long as you do as I say, you can be the next mighty devil king, then the whole world will shiver from your devil powers!¡± It seemed as if this little devil hade to ept its fate and Ye Xiwen as its owner, so it began to try and convince Ye Xiwen and make him practice the power techniques of Modao! (NT: Modao = Devil arts) ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡ª¡ª¨C Quarrelling all the way, Ye Xiwen rode his crane at the fastest possible speed, and after a flight of a whole day and night, he finally came back to Yi Yuan School. The huge expanse of mountain ranges of Yi Yuan School gradually spread in front of his eyes, and floating peaks were also present among these sierras. Within the Yi Yuan School, true disciples lived on these floating mountain peaks, and not just that, only true disciples were allowed to have their own floating peaks. Even if the heritage and wealth of Yi Yuan School was very rich and extraordinary, but building hundreds of such floating peaks was very difficult. These floating peaks were not only equipped with various Zhen methods, most importantly, each of these floating peaks were upied by true disciples, and if there was an invasion, these floating peaks could be converted into terrifying war fortresses. But these were just rumors. Ye Xiwen had never seen these floating peaks turning into war fortresses with his eyes. In the present chaotic times, although in the eyes of Yi Yuan School, the rebellion of Bai Mojiao was not a big matter, but who knew how many of those Bai Mojiao followers and devils were hidden in the shadows to make their move, therefore as a precautionary measure, all of these floating peaks had been ced on the perimeter, while other mountain peaks were located in the deeper ces, surrounded and protect by these floating peaks. Ye Xiwen smoothly made his way back to the Tongtian peak, and just after entering the premises of Tongtian peak, he found Ye Feng and other disciples of the Qian Yu faction, who seemed to have been waiting for him all this time. ¡°Little brother, are you alright?¡± When Ye Feng saw that Ye Xiwen was uninjured, immediately, a smile appeared on his face. Other people also seemed very happy, after all this time, they were saved by Ye Xiwen, although they came back first, but were very worried about his safety. Now when they saw that Ye Xiwen was safe and unharmed, they also felt relieved. ¡°Brother Ye, did Brother Qi y that giant devil?¡± At this time, Zhang Yang asked in a curious tone. Everyone was concerned about the oue of Qi Feifan¡¯s battle in addition to Ye Xiwen¡¯s safety. ¡°I do not know, but when I was leaving, Brother Qi clearly had the upper hand in the battle. That great devil leader should not be his match.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°When we get a chance, let¡¯s go to the ¡®big bright peak¡¯ of Brother Qi and thank him foring to our rescue!¡± The floating peak where Qi Feifan lived was a well-known and illustrious floating among the floating peaks of other true disciples and was known as the big bright peak. It got its name from the simple fact that it stayed brilliantly illuminated day and night, just like the legendary paradise. Although, for Qi Feifan, rescuing them might be a small matter, but they still wanted to go and express their gratitude to him for saving them, and another reason was that most of them were excited to meet him in person. ¡°Well, you are right, we left ahead of time without thanking him. We must go and express our gratitude.¡± Ye Feng said. ¡°Little brother, the seed disciplepetition is starting tomorrow, so if you¡¯re going to participate, we must go now!¡± Ye Ruxue asked because at this time, perhaps it was only her who was so excited about Ye Xiwen participating in the seed disciplepetition, hoping for him to show off and steal the limelight. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chapter 134 – Competition begins Chapter 134 ¨C Competition begins Ye Xiwen quickly caught up with the registration at thest moment then he spent the night in his own small courtyard and continued to sort the information he had gathered in the mysterious space by spectating the fight between the two masters. Just from looking their battle, one could say that these two masters were truly at the peak of truth realm. At present, Ye Xiwen was at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage and he didn¡¯t know when he would reach the truth realm, but no matter what, it was going to be a very significant goal for him someday. Before the Seed disciplepetition, Ye Xiwen was trying to enhance his ownbat efficiency as far as possible. He was crazily burning the spirit stones and along with this crazybustion speed of spirit stones, he continued the crazy analysis of various information and insights obtained from the battle of the two peerless masters. Night time passed, but during the night, he ended up burning a total of 5000 spirit stones, and now, Ye Xiwen¡¯s breath seemed more stable and powerful than ordinary masters at peak of Xiantian sixth stage, while his Zhen Yuan became ten times deeper and profoundly vigorous than before, andst but not the least, his body became so formidable that even divine weapons would find it difficult to injure his body. Stronger than ever and having an unprecedented great strength, Ye Xiwen was now confident enough, that now, he would be able to very easily defeat the masters at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage, and even if he was to fight against the master of Xiantian seventh stage, he would be able to contend, beat or even kill them. No one could be so formidable overnight, it was possible only for Ye Xiwen, because he had mysterious space to help him, however this time, he had little devil, Ye Mo, to support him as well. Ye Mo was the name given to little devil by Ye Xiwen. Even if this little devil was so arrogant and haughty but it still didn¡¯t have a name, in fact, it never was given a name by its former master, that is, the mighty devil king, because devil king used to actually treat little devil like a ve, and never thought to give it a name. So Ye Xiwen gave a name to the little devil, and although Ye Mo did not say anything after hearing its new name, but Ye Xiwen knew from the look in its eyes that it liked its new name, and even if this tool spirit had a foul mouth, but it didn¡¯t have a bad natural disposition. Ye Xiwen also dropped the idea of eliminating little devil and to re-condense a tool spirit. Ye Mo started to help Ye Xiwen after it received a new name from him and it was apparently more active than before. It even stopped moring all day about lowly humans and so on. Ye Mo was small, cute and extremely lovable, but it was truly a very experienced monster from ancient times. It knew about various Modao based power techniques, but ording to Ye Mo, they were all at the level of mighty devil king, the ruler of ten thousand worlds. ording to Ye Mo, Ye Xiwen should rigidly adhere to practicing martial arts for the time being, and it even had a variety of martial arts on its tongue tips and wrote down the ones that woulde in handy. Although it was only a tool spirit but still brought forth many brand-new concepts about martial arts in front of Ye Xiwen, letting his horizons to widen, and in just one night, he managed to learn a lot which in turn widened his horizons. This made Ye Xiwen to totally abandon thest bit of the idea to eliminate Ye Mo. The idea simply disappeared from his mind without a trace. Autumn was near, in Yi Yuan School, since there were many Zhen methods continuously operating, so the changing seasons couldn¡¯t affect Yi Yuan School, giving a spring-like feeling all year round. Ye Xiwen walked from his room into the courtyard and looked toward the distant ¡®Full moon peak¡¯ from where the intermittent sounds of ringing bell could be heard. This time¡¯s Seed disciplepetition was being held at the ¡®Full moon peak¡¯. Generally speaking, the peak from where thest champion appeared was made the venue for next time¡¯s Seed disciplepetition, and for over ten years, the venue for Seed disciplepletion hadn¡¯t changed. This obviously disyed the strength of ¡®Full moon peak¡¯, the strongest of the top ten peaks in Yi Yuan School. The Tongtian peak once became the venue and held Seed disciplepetition but it happened almost thirty years ago. In other words, for many years, Tongtian peak had not managed to produce a champion in the Seed disciplepetition. A disciple from Tongtian peak managed to step into the top ten rankings but that was also several years ago. Moreover, when that disciple was promoted to the ranks of core disciples, no one after him entered into the top ten rankings. However, the heritage of Tongtian peak still couldn¡¯t be underestimated, because every time, it would give several disciples who managed to enter the top hundred seed disciple rankings. With the bell, many inner and outer disciples rushed to the ¡®Full moon peak¡¯, although for them, basically there was no possibility to participate in the Seed disciplepetition, but after all, this was going to be apetition among the top yers from among them, and there weren¡¯t going to be a lot of opportunities to see this kind of fiercepetition among geniuses. One could say that it was a rare opportunity and they nned to watch thepetition all the way. In this case, the disciples of Qian Yu faction, along with Ye Xiwen, also went to the ¡®Full moon peak¡¯ and Ye Feng and other familiar disciples joined as well. Although this had nothing to do with them, but Ye Xiwen was participating in the Seed disciplepetition so they naturally came to cheer for him. The so-called Qian Yu faction was still new and many new disciples joined recently. When outsiders spoke of Qian Yu faction then the first thought that woulde to their minds was obviously Ye Xiwen, the new disciple who recently rose to fame, especially because it was widely known that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength wasparable to that of the seed disciples. So it was obvious that new members of Qian Yu faction, who hadn¡¯t met Ye Xiwen in person, were curious to witness his formidable strength in today¡¯s Seed disciplepetition. ¡°I heard that this time in the Seed disciplepetition, because of the massiveeback of Bai Mojiao, Sect has prepared very rich rewards. There are many powerful pseudo-spiritual tools, there are some medicinal pills as well, geez,st year¡¯s rewards are nothingpared to the rewards this year.¡± ¡°That¡¯s natural, this year is a special, I hear that taking advantage of resurfacing of Bai Mojiao, the fourrge Sects as well as the royal family are going to hold a giant joint conference to discuss how to suppress the rebellion of Bai Mojiao, and at the conference, a majorpetition between the strongest disciples of respective Sects would also take ce, having separatepetition for inner disciples, core disciples and also true disciples. This time¡¯s Seed disciplepetition is aimed at selecting the strongest seed disciples then these 100 seed disciples will be taken away to participate.¡± ¡°No wonder Sect is being so generous, and this time, the sect is not only going to discuss the matter about suppression of Bai Mojiao, but it must also disy its formidable strength to the otherrge sects, so that no one underestimates us, but unfortunately unlike Seed disciplespetition, the core disciplepetition takes ce only once in two years and it won¡¯t be taking ce this year, otherwise we would definitely see wonderful fights.¡± ¡°Perhaps this time, there won¡¯t be much change in the name list, after all, the seed disciples obtain arge amount of resources from the Sect.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also hard to say because this time, there is a very strong neer participating in thepetition, his name is Ye Xiwen and I heard that his strength is quite formidable.¡± ¡°I have also heard his name, I heard that he probably defeated Mo Han, but Mo Han at that time was only at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, so maybe we are overestimating the strength of Ye Xiwen and he may not be able topete with genuine seed disciples.¡± ¡°¡®I heard that Mo Han has already entered into the realm of Xiantian Xiao ten days ago, and by the virtue of terrifying might of man spear unification, he defeated a seed disciple, although now his rank is only 96!¡± ¡°This time¡¯s Seed disciplepetition is going to be interesting!¡± Many of the disciples began talking among themselves. Ye Xiwen was standing in the crowd and was listening to their discussions but there wasn¡¯t the slightest fluctuation on his expression. ¡°Ye Xiwen, those trivial disciples participating in this Seed disciplepetition are simply not your match.¡± In Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind came the voice of Ye Mo and it seemed that its voice was full of disdain for these disciples as if they were not even worth looking at. Right now, Ye Mo was hidden inside the Tianyuan mirror present on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. Since Ye Mo had always been the tool spirit of Tianyuan mirror so hiding inside was really too simple. Along with a crowd of many people, Ye Xiwen and other disciples of Qian Yu faction entered the ¡®Full moon peak¡¯petition arena. Although Ye Xiwen was quite famous, but if total number of outer disciples and inner disciples was to be added then the grand total was more than one hundred thousand people. So how could they possibly recognize Ye Xiwen in this overwhelming sea of disciples? Ye Xiwen and the others entered the square and found seats in the spectators seating area, and at this time, they saw the many arenas stood erect above the square, where the battles for Seed disciplepetition were going to take ce. The top of a cliff edge portrayed many names, it was almost dense and there were several named, and when looking from afar, one could see that these were the names of the top ten figures of the Seed disciplepetition over the years. However, these names belonged to only those who got into the top ten ranks. Only after entering into the top ranks, one would be eligible to have his name portrayed on the cliff edge and would always be remembered by people. Seeing that only ten people would get their names engraved for eternity among so many disciples involved in the event, the disciples of Qian Yu faction were all fascinated, and this was an unusual excitement, especially because a disciple of Qian Yu faction was going to participate in such a major event of Yi Yuan School for the first time, so they had no other alternative but to be excited. In a distant ce, above a high stand, the elders and many true disciples were sitting, but mist was covering the surrounding area and no one could actually see these people. These people came to take a look whether there were good seed disciples among the inner disciples, and once they took a liking to some seed disciples, they would try to win over some members. After almost everyone was in attendance, above the high-stand, a tall elder stood up and flew in the air, nced at all the disciples, then said: ¡°The annual inner sect¡¯s Seed disciplepetition will start now. The sect is organizing thispetition in the hope that everyone can do their utmost and disy their strongest state, and for that, the sect has prepared very rich rewards, so long as you give an outstanding performance, you will surely get rewards from the sect. If you are lucky enough, you will also get an opportunity to join the ns of true elders, now soar like a dragon! ¡° The elder¡¯s words were short but very straightforward and the disciples who heard this had a burst of emotions in their hearts. As long as they could give outstanding performance, they could get a lot of practice resources from the Sect which could directly increase their standing in Yi Yuan School, a millennium major Sect. This was one type of most fair but also most brutal rule of survival. As long as they had enough strength, the Sect would give them special fondness and status, would also spend a lot of resources to cultivate them, and as long as they had enough talent, they could seed, but it was also an extremely brutal rule. The people who possessed strength could seed, but those with no strength could only continue to get surmounted by the strong ones. The naturalw of survival of the fittest truly and vividly manifested itself here in thispetition. ¡°First battle of No. 130 arena, Ye Xiwen, Fang Su!¡± Finally, the guarding core disciple in the arena read Ye Xiwen¡¯s name. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 135 – Two rounds Chapter 135 ¨C Two rounds ¡°First battle of No.130 arena, Ye Xiwen, Fang Su!¡± Finally, the guarding core disciple in the arena read Ye Xiwen¡¯s name. When Ye Xiwen heard his name call, he went up at once, and many of the disciples who did not recognize Ye Xiwen had their eyes fixated on him. Although, the strength of Ye Xiwen was onlyparable to that of the seed disciples, but he was still considered as one of the few strongest individuals among hundreds of thousands of inner and outer disciples. He was counted among 200 to 300 top-notch disciples in the total poption of inner disciples and outer disciples. In addition to Ye Xiwen, his opponent, Fang Su, was also considered one of the few top-notch disciples. ¡°I never thought that the first battle will be between Ye Xiwen and Fang Su. That Ye Xiwen recently rose to fame but Fang Su is also a very famous super-master of Xiantian Xiao realm.¡± ¡°Yes, I did not expect that the first battle of Seed disciplepetition will be between two seed level masters.¡± ¡°Right, I think that these experts will certainly stagger.¡± ¡°Stagger, if they stagger then it will be boring, if only stagger then even depending on the strength, do you know how many people who participate in the Seed disciplepetition each year, because it is full of uncertainty. If they have good luck then can rush into the top hundred ranks, such as that Mo Han, otherwise why would the disciples who possess the insufficient strength of peak Xiantian fifth stage participate in thepetition when they know they would just end up humiliating themselves in front of everyone and would be regarded asughing stocks by everyone?¡± Above the high stand, in the elders seating area, many of the elders were looking at Ye Xiwen, and among the many true disciples sitting there, Lin Zhantian was also present and looking at Ye Xiwen. There were pleased looks in the eyes of these experts looking at Ye Xiwen. They didn¡¯t expect that a new disciple like him, who joined the Main Sect only few months ago, without taking too long, would be able to challenge seed disciples. Ye Xiwen also felt a lot of gazes aimed at him and felt his heart secretly beating like a drum. He was anxious that these experts might find out about the existence of Tianyuan mirror and Ye Mo because the Tianyuan mirror was still present on his body. It was said that Yi Yuan School did not have biased views regarding the principles of Modao and Xiedao. In fact, there were some disciples in Yi Yuan School who practiced Modao based power techniques and Xiedao based power techniques, but they were all epted by the Main Sect, also there were many people who possessed Modao and Xiedao based spiritual tools, but Yi Yuan School didn¡¯t mind them, because ording to the viewpoint of Yi Yuan School, these spiritual tools or power techniques were not good or evil, only the people who practiced them were good or evil. As long as the practitioner didn¡¯t use these practices for evil deeds, Main Sect allowed the use of Modao and Xiedao! However it was still difficult to predict their attitude and reaction towards the existences of Tianyuan mirror and Ye Mo, although Ye Xiwen heard from Ye Mo that Tianyuan mirror was actually a very Niubi original tool, but he still couldn¡¯t control the mirror and was anxious that it might give rise to a difficult situation. (NT: Niubi = Awesome, mboyant, extraordinary, kickass etc.) ¡°Ye Mo, are you sure there won¡¯t be any problem?¡± Ye Xiwen immediately asked Ye Mo because those elders were all experts of the truth realm, and if they really made up their mind to get rid of him, then it could be said that he didn¡¯t have the strength to fight back. ¡°Rest assured, these ants simply have no way to discover my presence.¡± Ye Mo said in a voice filled with pride. Ye Mo still held a deep contempt for humans, although each time it exposed such signs of despising human, he was corrected and scolded by Ye Xiwen, but this notion was profoundly engraved deep into its bones, and was difficult to change, but its attitude towards Ye Xiwen fortunately became better, but Ye Mo still wanted Ye Xiwen to follow the power techniques of Modao and always tried to convince Ye Xiwen that he must be the next peerless Devil King and so on. However Ye Xiwen had already started to ignore these words, and as far as the matter of bing the next mighty Devil King was concerned, he simply had no interest! Ye Xiwen was on the stage and on the opposite stood a youth man d in moonlight long robe, and while haughtily looking at Ye Xiwen, he said: ¡°I heard you¡¯re that arrogant and rampant Ye Xiwen? Probably because you seemed to have defeated Mo Han, but at that time, Mo Han was only at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage and defeating him means nothing. You are not my match so it¡¯s better for you to admit defeat as soon as possible.¡± He confidently tried to persuade Ye Xiwen to admit defeat but did not expect to see a faint smile appearing on the face of Ye Xiwen. Fang Su suddenly became somewhat angry with an embarrassing look on his face, he angrily said: ¡°What are you smiling at?¡± ¡°At your presumptuous attitude, do you actually think you can easily defeat Mo Han? Your strength is not more than his strength and if you run into him this time then he will surely beat you within ten strokes.¡± Ye Xiwen said because he clearly knew about the extremely formidable and fierce strength of ¡®man spear unification¡¯ and even if Fang Su was at the same strength level as Mo Han, it would difficult for him to resist Mo Han¡¯s might of man spear unification realm. Since Mo Han was now a master of Xiantian Xiao realm and so long as he didn¡¯t have a bad luck inpetition, he should be able to go very far! Even if they were once enemies but Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t want to see someone belittling the abilities of Mo Han. ¡°But this time, you are not going to get a chance to meet him.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°Bastard!¡± Fang Su suddenly became furious and the self-confident look on his face immediately turned red due to shame and embarrassment caused by the insulting words of Ye Xiwen. Fang Su¡¯s palm grasped toward the air and directly grasped an aquamarine long double-edged sword. This long sword was a kind of supreme quality cold jade long sword, and even from afar, one could feel its chilly aura, and collision between cold air and steam was emitting sizzling sounds. In an instant, like an aquamarine colored lightning, he took one step forward and in the next step, he was right in front of Ye Xiwen. Although Fang Su was an arrogant and haughty guy, who talked big, but he was really very formidable. The strength of a master of the Xiantian Xiao ream was not joke, and his strength was the real deal, no wonder he was confident enough to participate in the Seed disciplepetition and was also expecting to step into the top hundred seed disciple rankings. ¡®Shua!¡¯ Ye Xiwen¡¯s reaction was very fast, he instantly took out his long de and instantly shot. His whole stature rushed forward like lightning and with a loud ¡°Boom!¡± the two instantly collided, sending mighty shock waves in the air carrying many chunks of frozen water vapor. These frozen chunks were instantly sted in all directions, and many disciples present in the crowd, surrounding the arena, suddenly had to use Zhen Qi around their bodies as shields to protect their own lives. A disciple of Houtian realm was hit by the frozen chunks and sustained several fractures. After having interrupted the offensive of his opponent, Ye Xiwen did not stop even for an instant, and the Zhen Yuan continuously started to burst within his body, while his long de chopped out a terrifying delight, which then directly swept in the direction of Fang Su like a whirlwind, and swept the clouds of mist and ice chunks on its way towards Fang Su. Fang Su used his cold jade double-edged long sword to block Ye Xiwen¡¯s fierce de attack, but he was just a master of Xiantian Xiao realm, so how could he possibly a block an attack which contained some parts of Zhen Yuan mixed with Zhen Qi. ¡°Bang!¡± As soon as Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack came in contact with Fang Su¡¯s long sword, he was instantly sent flying far out of the arena, and suddenly spurted out blood in the midflight. Ye Xiwen had mixed his Xiantian Zhen Qi with a trace of Zhen Yuan, and due to that, Fang Su was simply unable to fight back. In fact, during the fight, Ye Xiwen was trying to conceal his true strength, because he did not want others to find out that he had alreadypletely transformed Zhen Yuan, because there could be a genuinely formidable master hidden among the high ranked seed disciples, and it would be better not to expose his true strength too early in thepetition. However there was a good thing that he didn¡¯t have to hide his enormous strength of 200 Dragons, which simply sent Fang Su flying far away out of the arena, while spouting blood and his body fell heavily on the ground upside down. ¡°Ye Xiwen actually won, and that too so easily, but how is this possible, it¡¯s unbelievable how Fang Su couldn¡¯t even block a single de attack!¡± ¡°How is this possible, Ye Xiwen turned out to be so insanely strong, but that cold jade long sword was a pseudo-spiritual tool, why was it unable to block Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack!¡± ¡°It seems that we have underestimated the strength of Ye Xiwen, we only thought that since Ye Xiwen has defeated Mo Han, a master at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, then he must be weak, in fact, no one expected that he would actually be so formidable. Now that you think about it, that Mo Han guy hadprehended the man spear unification while fighting Ye Xiwen, but he was still defeated. I must say, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength is simply unfathomable!¡± ¡°It seems that his strength is far more than justparable to the strength of seed disciples, because even among the seed disciples, perhaps only the ones ranked above average would be able topete with him.¡± At this time, all of the disciples of Qian Yu faction were cheering for Ye Xiwen, without a single exception, and it was expected because he was representing their Qian Yu faction, a new faction formed by new disciples, and this was his first battle. When he won the battle against a senior disciple so easily then this made them very happy. Ye Xiwen came down from the arena and the disciples of Qian Yu faction immediately surrounded him and started congratting him, although it was merely the first round ofpetition, but he just now defeated a super-master of Xiantian Xiao realm in such a rxed way. Just from watching the first fight, one could imagine that Ye Xiwen was going to go too far in thepetition. But, those senior disciples were constantly staring at Ye Xiwen and there was clear disbelief in their eyes. This new disciple was really a freak, he joined the Main Sect less than six months ago, and now he could participate in the Seed disciplepetition, and not just that, he so easily defeated a super-master of Xiantian Xiao realm as if it was child¡¯s y for him. Although they had heard that this year¡¯s new disciples were very fierce but just what this ridiculous formidable strength actually was and how could he obtain it so fast. They joined Main Sect more than a decade ago and still didn¡¯t dare to sign up in Seed disciplepetition! Ye Xiwen¡¯s facial expression was calm like the surface of a still water, and no matter what those people were thinking, he quietly waited for the arrival of the next battle! But Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have to wait for too long, and soon, the first battle in other arena also ended. After a small time given for recuperation, it was time to start the second battle, although it could be said that in this case, it was quite unfair for those who were slower in finishing their battles inparison to those who finished earlier. In this case, it was Lien Chan and if his strength was strong enough, then he would have finished his own fight earlier than Ye Xiwen. So if he couldn¡¯t defeat his opponent earlier than Ye Xiwen then it could be considered fair because if everyone was given long enough time for rxation then it was not fair to the strength of the stronger contestant. (NT: What a dangerous paragraph. It slightly increased my IQ :P) Soon, Ye Xiwen¡¯s turn arrived in the second round of thepetition. This time, his opponent looked like a 25 or 26 year old guy. When he saw that his opponent actually turned out to be Ye Xiwen, suddenly a forced smile appeared on his face. Although he hadn¡¯t seen Ye Xiwen¡¯s first fight, but he already heard from other people about his extraordinary performance. He soon realized that he would not be able to contend with Ye Xiwen. A super master of the Xiantian Xiao realm couldn¡¯t block one attack from Ye Xiwen¡¯s de and was sent flying out of the arena, let alone a mere disciple at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage. The thoughts continually wrestled in his mind then he cupped one hand into the other across his chest and said: ¡°Brother Ye, I ept my ipetence in front of your strength, I admit defeat.¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen, wins!¡± (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 136 – fight between powerful contenders Chapter 136 ¨C fight between powerful contenders Ye Xiwen¡¯s opponent in the second round admitted defeat giving him an easy victory without the need of even lifting a finger. ¡°Ye Xiwen, I did not think that you would be able to enter into the third round, but you will soon die, enjoy the final moments of your life while you still can.¡± Ye Xiwen just came down from the arena and suddenly heard someone sneering and referring to his name from one side. He turned his head to take a look and actually found that it was the so-called Young Marquis from before whom he had severely injured few months ago. Ye Xiwen carefully observed the Young Marquis and noticed that all the injuries inflicted by him few months ago were not only healed but he had be even more formidable than before. Back then, he had entered half-a-step into the Xiantian Xiao realm, but now he had actually reached the peak of Xiantian sixth stage. This Young Marquis¡¯s situation was not just as simple as having his cultivation grow to the next level, but he actually crossed the threshold, and this led to his strength undergoing tremendous change. However thest time Ye Xiwen saw Young Marquis, he didn¡¯t see the slightest signs of him breaking through the threshold of Xiantian fifth stage to reach the Xiantian sixth stage. ording to Ye Xiwen¡¯s initial estimate, Young Marquis would at least need several years in order to break from the threshold of Xiantian fifth stage, perhaps at least ten years. Although ten years seemed very long, but one must know that the lifespan of a Xiantian master was around two hundred years, so a period of ten years was not a long time inparison. Because the ridge between Xiantian fifth stage and Xiantian sixth stage was considered one of thergest and it was said that more than half of the Xiantian warriors couldn¡¯t cross this ridge throughout their lives. If the most talented disciples somehow managed to get favor from the Sect and attain a lot of practice resources, then it was possible to break through this threshold and reach the Xiantian sixth stage, otherwise even the period of ten years was not too long. However now it seemed like that during these few months, Young Marquis did not just manage topletely recover from his serious injuries, but he unexpectedly advanced to the peak of Xiantian sixth stage. This speed was simply unimaginable and even whenpared with Ye Xiwen, his growth couldn¡¯t be considered slow. The eyes of Young Marquis were brimming with a strong killing intention while he was ring at Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen noticed the poisonous look in his eyes along with a clear hateful expression on his face and thought that none of the people he had previously defeated turned into this sort of vicious character. The impact of losing to Ye Xiwen had taken its toll on the psyche of Young Marquis! After joining Yi Yuan School, it was obvious that he no longer was the arrogant young master of his n, butter on virtue of his impressive strength and talent, he realized that he could still maintain his previous status and could make those weaker than him to listen to him and serve him. It was only a pity that he mistook Ye Xiwen for a weakling and tried to threaten him but did not think that soon aftering to the Main Sect, Ye Xiwen would actually be so insanely strong, that even those senior disciples, along with their profound experiences and dignity, would be trampled under his feet. Ye Xiwen could feel his murderous aura and also made a guess about what he must be nning. Young Marquis was nning to kill him in the arena, although ording to the rules of Yi Yuan School, killing a fellow sect disciple invoked severe punishment, but if only wounded, then it was almost equivalent to not getting punished at all, because Yi Yuan School was such a big sect that almost all kinds of injuries could be easily andpletely cured, in fact, even severed body parts could be reconnected if the victim was sent to early treatment. So, within Yi Yuan School, disciples used to fight all the time but very few people would actually kill their opponents. Last time, Ye Xiwen also just severely injured Young Marquis but did not kill him because of this consideration. Only two ces were exception to this rule, one was the ¡®Life and Death Arena¡¯ while the other one was a public event like this. There were absolutely no rules to put limits on the strengths of the contenders, after all, almost all of the contenders were either seed disciples orparable to seed disciples so it was natural that their battles would be very fierce, just a small distraction might lead to failure, or even serious injuries. If the strength of opponent was far less, then only one could think of going easy, otherwise who would dare to hold back in front of an equally matched opponent! ¡°If you are holding such an idea then I will make you regret it.¡± Ye Xiwen looked coldly at the Young Marquis. ¡°Ha ha ha ha!¡± Young Marquis suddenly started tough loudly and wildly, and after a good while, hisugh suddenly transformed into a sinister smile, ¡°You have made the biggest mistake of your life by offending someone you must never offend, and look what happened, he gave me strength and today in the arena, I will kill you!¡± ¡°Are you talking about Luo Yifan?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Humph!¡± That Young Marquis snorted loudly and did not answer, but Ye Xiwen obtained the answer he was looking for. So it really was Luo Yifan, incorrigibly wicked, at that time he was in front of witnesses and since he didn¡¯t have evidence against Ye Xiwen so Luo Yifan couldn¡¯t directly kill him, but after going back, he must have felt that it was a mistake not to kill Ye Xiwen while he had the chance, but he couldn¡¯t juste and directly kill Ye Xiwen, or he might fall in trouble. Young Marquis did not stay for too long, and walked away, and looking at the back profile of departing Young Marquis, Ye Xiwen sneered in his heart, not because of his provocative words. The words of Young Marquis simply had no effect on Ye Xiwen because if his fighting strength had not broken through from the Xiantian six heavy, then this time, he really had no chance against Ye Xiwen! ¡°Ye Xiwen, Zhang Chi!¡± Soon, Ye Xiwen¡¯s name was called for the third round, and this time, his opponent was already a seed disciple, but Ye Xiwen was not surprised, after all, he was already in the third round, and from this round onwards, even if his opponent was not a seed disciple but it would still be a discipleparable to the seed disciples. For reaching the third round of Seed disciplepetition, luck was required, but high strength was also an important constraint. As far as Ye Xiwen was concerned, it simply didn¡¯t matter who his opponents were to this point. After breaking through the first three rounds, he would finally enter into the top 100 ranking of seed disciples. However Zhang Chi was not just an ordinary seed disciple, his rank was 19th in the ranking list of seed disciples, and possessed an abnormally formidable imposing aura, indicating that he must have entered half-step into the Xiantian sixth stage, and that too not a long time ago, perhaps in the past few months. Zhang Chi looked at Ye Xiwen and said: ¡°Brother Ye, you are very strong, but this time you will surely lose, I must rush into the top twenty rankings.¡± Zhang Chi¡¯s face revealed a firm expression. As far as Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was concerned, it was now needless to say that no one dared to underestimate him, and many people were wondering that perhaps Ye Xiwen had already stepped into the Xiantian Xiao realm. However, Zhang Chi wanted to step into the top twenty rankings, because this time, the top twenty contenders could obtain a type of medicinal pill called Hehe Dan. After using a Hehe Dan, one could increase their sess rate of breaking through from the threshold of Xiantian fifth stage and step into the Xiantian sixth stage by more than 30%. Hehe Dan was a very rare type of medicinal pill because only experts of Truth realm could refine it, but it increased only a small percentage of sess rate of having a breakthrough from Xiantian fifth to Xiantian sixth stage, therefore the masters of Truth realm rarely refined Hehe Dan, which was the reason why in the past, only the top three seed disciples received Hehe Dan as rewards, and after consuming Hehe Dan, these three winners would reach the Xiantian sixth stage and be core disciples. But this time, the situation was unique due to the matter concerning Bai Mojiao, and Sect was going to give enormous rich rewards to the winners. If he could obtain a Hehe Dan, he would at least be able to save himself from several months of self-torturous cultivation. Also, when he would participate in thepetition among the five major influences, then his increased strength would help him in fetching a good ranking, and at that time, the rewards would be more than now. (NT: 4rge Sects + 1 royal family = 5 major influences) He would also get favor from the Sect, thus helping in his growth in the long run. However this time¡¯s Seed disciplepetition was going to be the first major step. ¡°Such being the case, let us both give our best shots.¡± Ye Xiwen could see the desire to win in his opponent¡¯s eyes but he would certainly not give up. ¡°Brother Ye, get ready!¡± Zhang Chi shouted then suddenly, a formidable imposing aura came out of his body and he took out a long de. He was also a de master like Ye Xiwen, and above his long de, a white tiger was facing upward and roaring loudly, but its form seemed a bit out of shape. Someone must have carved the creative concept of a fierce white tiger into the de, indicating that this long de was definitely a pseudo-spiritual tool. ¡°Brother Ye, be careful!¡± Zhang Chi immediately cautioned Ye Xiwen, although he was eager to win but he was definitely not a sinister viin. Zhang Chi clearly knew the unparalleled and tyrannical strength of his white tiger long de and didn¡¯t want to deceive a talented junior like Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen did not speak, but a solemn look appeared on his face, as he had already taken strict precautions. He quickly transformed the Zhen Yuan within his body into Zhen Qi to give rise to a terrifying imposing aura. Zhen Yuan itself was more advanced and purer form of energy than Zhen Qi, and even a little amount of Zhen Yuan could be turned into arge amount of Zhen Qi. Ye Xiwen immediately changed Zhen Yuan into Zhen Qi inside his body, sendingyers afteryers of shock waves in the surroundings, while his imposing aura suddenly rose quickly and wasn¡¯t one bit weaker than Zhang Chi. ¡°Ha!¡± Zhang Chi shouted loudly and chopped out his long de, and in a sh, an endless amount of Zhen Qi congealed into delight and rushed towards Ye Xiwen, producing faint howling sounds, and on the midway, the delight directly transformed into a white tiger, however at the same time, apanied by a loud sound of thunder, the hidden Dragon rose from the Abyss! Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm instantly transformed into a dragon w, and while using celestial step, he instantly rushed in front of the white tiger, his dragon w rose high and instantly formed a towering giant dragon w, then immediately descended down directly on top of the white tiger and suppressed it. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s dragon w grabbed the white tiger and pressed it down on the ground, directly leaving a huge dragon paw print on the arena floor, while the white tiger immediately vanished after being heavily crushed by the huge dragon w. At that moment, the condensed soul of the white tiger was grasped by Ye Xiwen and was instantly destroyed and vanished, apanied with a sound of ¡°kara kara¡±, just like the shattering sound of ice crystals. However, just then, once again, a terrifying deqi was instantly chopped out, which then turned into a white tiger and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen also abruptly shot his palm, and immediately, a coiling dragon congealed out of his palm, roared loudly and rushed towards the white tiger. Immediately, the scene turned into a fierce struggle between two evenly matched opponents. On the arena, a white tiger was fighting with a coiling dragon, but Ye Xiwen was not anxious that others would see the origin of his move, after all, Yi Yuan School was originally a ce to study various kinds of martial arts techniques, and even if they saw, it would ount to nothing. Furthermore, he had heard from Lin Zhantian that from the time ¡°Coiling dragon palm¡± had been taken out of an ancient ruin, no one was able to learn it. In other words, for so many years, Ye Xiwen should be the first master to sessfullyprehend ¡°Coiling Dragon Palm¡±. Most likely, no one would be able to recognize the move when they themselves hadn¡¯t seen anyone using it. Moreover, arge Sect like Yi Yuan School must have its own several secrets. Yi Yuan School also did not request its disciples to give an honest ount of their adventures. If that was the case then who would dare to show their full strength, and if disciples tried to hide their true strengths, then it would severely affect the overall strength of the Sect. Anyways, in a moment, the oue of the fierce battle between two evenly matched opponents was going to be decided. (To be continued) Chapter 137 – New record Chapter 137 ¨C New record At the moment, a coiling dragon was fighting with a white tiger in the arena, and in a sh, a powerful attack of coiling dragon annihted the white tiger. Unlike the coiling dragon, white tiger didn¡¯t possess its own consciousness, however even if it did possess consciousness, what could it possibly do to defend itself from the vicious and formidable ws of coiling dragon or asional fierce tail swings. The might of the coiling dragon was enormous and white tiger simply wasn¡¯t its match. Above the high stand, many of the elders were paying attention to Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm technique with curious looks in their eyes. It was obvious that this palm method was an extremely high grade power technique, though they could not determine its rank, but they were still able to figure out its fundamentals and concluded that it was very formidable power technique. ¡°This battle¡¯s oue is already decided.¡± ¡°It has been such a pity, originally, it was quite possible for him to break into the top twenty rankings, unfortunately, ran into this Ye Xiwen.¡± An elder sighed and said. ¡°Luck is a part of the strength, because bad luck partially reflects the manifestation ofcking strength and ipetence.¡± A nearby elder curled his lips and said. These elders and true disciples were looking at the contenders with unusual toxic looks in their eyes. They were the masters of truth realm and could easily predict the oue of the battle between two mere inner disciples without even needing to see the battle all the way to the very end. Above the high stand, a pair of vicious eyes was looking at Ye Xiwen. It was none other than Luo Yifan, and right now, several thoughts were constantly raging up inside his heart. In his heart, the idea to kill Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t diminish the slightest, but he never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually be able to attend the seed disciplepetition. The reason why he did not kill Ye Xiwen before because of the presence of arge crowd at the scene, and one more reason was that he was extremely confident on his own skill. He was sure that once Ye Xiwen received his sonic wave attack, he would most probably dieter, and even if he didn¡¯t die, at least he would have to face great consequences from the aftereffects, and after that, he won¡¯t have any advancement in strength. But he never expected that Ye Xiwen actually did not die and there didn¡¯t seem any signs of aftereffects either, which suddenly made him feel deceived. This meant that Ye Xiwen wasn¡¯t under the impact of his technique and was lying to him. Thinking of this, the anger in his heart was even more difficult to contain, and a killing intention immediately appeared in his eyes, almost anxious to kill Ye Xiwen right there. In his heart, he realized that Ye Xiwen was certainly rted to Luo Tian¡¯s death, and the killing intention became even more intense, he pledged to kill Ye Xiwen at any cost. Ye Xiwen naturally did not know about themotion going on inside Luo Yifan¡¯s heart. It would be a lie to say that Ye Xiwen¡¯s spirit won¡¯t be deterred once he knew about Luo Yifan¡¯s intentions, but he also knew that Luo Yifan was not someone who would give up so easily! The sense of crisis was present in his heart, but right now, there was no time to think about all that. For now, he needed to concentrate on his current opponent, Zhang Chi. Must finish this fight! The situation suddenly changed! At that moment, Ye Xiwen churned out a wave of vigorous Zhen Qi, raised his long de and chopped out a long thick delight, which instantly rushed towards Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi¡¯s white tigers were sessively chopped down and instantly vanished by Ye Xiwen¡¯s delight. Zhang Chi¡¯s face revealed a desperate expression because he did not expect that Ye Xiwen¡¯s real strength would turn out to be so formidable. ¡°Shua!¡± delight flew across the arena and since the distance wasn¡¯t too long, it instantly arrived in front of Zhang Chi and was about to chop into his body, when abruptly, that delight seemed to have been manipted and vanished without a trace. At this moment, Zhang Chi¡¯s whole body was covered with cold sweat, but he suddenly discovered that the delight didn¡¯t even touch his body, and right then, Ye Xiwen¡¯s loud voice came from across the arena: ¡°Senior Zhang, you let me win!¡± (NT: ch¨¦ng rang: you let me win (said politely after winning a game)) When Zhang Chi heard this, his face immediately turned red, he was embarrassed, he was simply owned by a junior and made a fool of himself in front of everyone, however Ye Xiwen was merciful and didn¡¯t injure him even the slightest, so he quickly cupped one hand into other across the chest and said: ¡°Thank you Brother Ye for showing mercy, this fellow brother is deeply grateful!¡± Not to mention the top twenty ranks, it was fortunate that Ye Xiwen was merciful otherwise if he had received that delight attack then he would have faced severe injuries. Today, he could only say that his own luck was bad that he had to face an insanely strong master like Ye Xiwen! Ye Xiwen jumped down the arena and Ye Mo¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in his mind: ¡°Why did you stop, why didn¡¯t you kill him, anyway, no one would get prosecuted for killing an opponent in the arena.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a devil and I don¡¯t kill people for fun!¡± Ye Xiwen lightly said. Ye Xiwen very much appreciated the attitude of Zhang Chi and he was only brutal to his enemies. ¡°Human nature is really hard to understand!¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°That¡¯s why your devil race will never understand human race!¡± Ye Xiwen said while walking. There was always this kind of difference in opinions between him and Ye Mo, he clearly knew that sometimes, Ye Mo¡¯s showed a somewhat childish behavior, but its views on some issues were terrifying, and in its eyes, let alone human beings, even those devils were nothing more than lowly ants. For Ye Mo, the war between human race and devil race was just like watching two ant nests fighting for food. Although Ye Mo was not so indifferent to Ye Xiwen, but Ye Xiwen also knew that it was just because they were rted to each other as Tianyuan mirror¡¯s owner and tool spirit. Perhaps it had seen so much ughter over a course of a long time that cruelty had properly immersed deep into its bones, but of course, recently, Ye Xiwen hade to believe that Ye Mo¡¯s previous owner was probably a very extraordinary figure, and was really the ruler of ten thousand worlds, and he must have also looked down on people, just like Ye Mo. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know how to remove this kind of deep-rooted indifference in its bones, but as long as he didn¡¯t have the same viewpoint, he didn¡¯t care about Ye Mo¡¯s indifference. After winning the third round, Ye Xiwen sessfully stepped into the top 100 and justifiably became a seed disciple. This immediately aroused the crowd and also the disciples of Qian Yu faction. Earlier Ye Xiwen was only famous as a disciple whose strength isparable to the strength of seed disciples, but now that he stepped into the top 100 rankings of seed disciples, he officially established his strength in front of the whole crowd and now he was no longer justparable to seed disciples, but actually became a seed disciple. This year, Ye Xiwen joined the Main Sect, and in the first year only, he was able to reach all the way into the top 100 ranks of the seed disciplepetition. By bing a seed disciple, now he was above hundreds of thousands of inner and outer disciples of the Main Sect. The senior disciples couldn¡¯t even remember when was the previous time something like this happened in the Main Sect. Some of the senior disciples remembered that a few decades ago, a new disciple was able to achieve such a feat in the Main Sect, and that person was none other than Qi Feifan. However, now, in the Yi Yuan School, Qi Feifan was at the height of power, and being able to enter into the top 100 seed disciple rankings was one of the many records he made in the Main Sect, and this record was not too splendid as well. Moreover that was a long time, decades ago, so long that not more than half of the inner or outer disciples from that time still remembered this record in the corners of their minds, and half of them simply did not remember at all. After all, it had been decades since they joined the Main Sect. A period of decades was not a short time for warriors of Xiantian realm, and as far as Houtian realm warriors were concerned, it was a very long time. At least now in the eyes of all the disciples, Ye Xiwen created a record, a brand-new record and this record would be apanied and remembered by many disciples of his batch, just like for decades, many disciples from Qi Feifan¡¯s batch still remembered his records. Although Qi Feifan, who was generally considered as a myth by many, had stepped into the top 50 seed disciple rankings, and if Ye Xiwen was able to break this record, then he would make a brand-new record in the history of Yi Yuan School! There was anticipation present in the eyes of the crowd because Ye Xiwen had directly overshadowed those senior disciples, and Ye Xiwen did not break anyone¡¯s anticipation and easily defeated a formidable seed disciple in the fourth round and smoothly stepped into the top 50 seed disciple rankings. With this achievement, he tied with the Qi Feifan¡¯s record. Suddenly all of the disciples were boiling with happiness and excitement, Ye Xiwen¡¯s performance was too bright, he was simply winning all the fights with ease and in a highlypetent way, as if he wasn¡¯t even using his full strength at all, and now that he tied the record of Qi Feifan, it simply pumped everyone with curiosity and anticipation. Would he actually break the record of Qi Feifan? Would he also turn into a myth, a legend? Now everyone started to specte about Ye Xiwen¡¯s rank in the seed disciplepetition and how far he would go. Some said he would step into the top twenty, top ten, or even the first. Some rtively bold disciple guessed that Ye Xiwen would obtain the first rank and be the champion. Among those disciples who were happy for Ye Xiwen, it was obvious that most of them belonged to Qian Yu faction. Ye Xiwen was representing them and their faction and he was also their honor, the more outstanding his performance was, the more face Qian Yu faction would get in front of everyone. The disciples of Qian Yu faction were only the neers, and besides the new disciples, almost none of the senior disciples had expressed interest in joining their faction, but now, the situation was not the same, in addition to the new disciples, there were many senior disciples who suddenly showed great interest in joining the Qian Yu faction. There were a lot of people who saw the outstanding performance of Ye Xiwen, and only after that, they showed their interest. Ye Xiwen¡¯s performance was simply unbelievably outstanding and just like Qi Feifan, there was a great possibility that he would also turn into an outstanding true disciple, i.e., if they joined the Qian Yu faction now, then in the future, they would automatically be a part of the faction of a true disciple once Ye Xiwen bes a true disciple. In a ce like Yi Yuan School, when disciples joined factions, they not only received protection, more importantly, they could obtain enormous benefits, especially when they belonged to a true disciple¡¯s faction. After bing a true disciple,pounded drugs, spirit stones and so on didn¡¯t remain too important for them, but for Xiantian realm disciples, these were considered great assets. This was also the reason why many senior disciples wanted to join the faction created by a true disciple, but for joining the factions led by true disciples, there were strict admission rules and only elite core disciples could obtain a membership in these factions, inner and outer disciples simply had no chance, not to forget, only few could manage to be core disciples. So even if they were very much envious, but there was no other way. However now, the appearance of Qian Yu faction gave them an additional choice. So long as Ye Xiwen¡¯s outstanding growth continued and his progress didn¡¯t depreciate in the future, then there was a huge probability that he would be a true disciple! This was a gamble and could return huge profits in the future! Chapter 138 – Once again defeats Mo Han Chapter 138 ¨C Once again defeats Mo Han This was a gamble, a gamble on the assumption that Ye Xiwen would continue to progress in the future and would finally reach the truth realm, then they would be able to reap great benefits, so there were many senior disciple who acted out of their own ord and suddenly showed interest in joining the Qian Yu faction, and there were many more, who were waiting and watching from the sidelines. Regarding this, Ye Feng, Yan Chiling and other high level members of Qian Yu faction naturally knew that it was naturally due to the sessive victories of Ye Xiwen and his incredible strength, openly disyed in front of everyone. The sudden poprity of Qian Yu faction was all because of Ye Xiwen¡¯s poprity which was acting as a maic force to attract new members, and due to that, the total number of members in the faction suddenly increased a lot. Originally, the senior disciples had not shown interest in joining the Qian Yu faction, but now, they hade to join in abundance, and among them, there were many masters of Xiantian fifth stage. They were counted among the elite inner disciples and originally didn¡¯t spare a nce to the Qian Yu faction, but now, they had also started to show interest. And this was all due to Ye Xiwen¡¯s enormous influence, because in this world, everyone worshipped the strong and only strong peoplemanded respect. Formidable individuals could bring great influence, more than anyone could imagine. In the eyes of the crowd, there was anticipation as they were curiously waiting to know who Ye Xiwen¡¯s opponent would be in the fifth round, and after a while, his next opponent turned out to be Mo Han. With a long spear standing erect next to him, there was a cold and gloomy look in Mo Han¡¯s eyes while his imposing aura was much more formidable than it wasst time. During the time of Ye Xiwen¡¯s first battle in the seed disciplepetition, almost no one was optimistic about his victory, and thought that he was being overconfident, but right now, no one thought that Ye Xiwen was being overconfident, in fact this time, they were quite themselves that he would certainly win. Although a lot of people¡¯s views were lopsided, thinking that Ye Xiwen would win, after all, even if the strength of Mo Han was quite high, but he was only at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, although he hadprehended man-spear unification realm, but Ye Xiwen defeated him once before, and right now, Ye Xiwen now should obviously be more powerful than before, so the oue seemed to be obvious to everyone. ¡°I did not expect to meet you in the fifth round.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for this for a long time.¡± Mo Han said in a cold but determined voice, and at this time, his eyes were focused on Ye Xiwen, without caring about the cheering for Ye Xiwen still going on in the surroundings. These cheers were not causing any effect on him, because there was only thing that was continuously revolving in his mind, defeat him, defeat him! This was the only thought remaining in his heart, defeat Ye Xiwen! ¡°You have be more powerful than before, but I still want to defeat you.¡± Mo Han said and in his voice, there was not a single trace of weakness, although he could see that Ye Xiwen had be more formidable, but he himself was not the same as before, andpared to three months ago, he had also be more powerful, so much powerful that he was able to rush all the way to the fifth round. ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡± Ye Xiwen directly said. Mo Han shouted loudly, Zhen Qi instantly burst up under his feet, and his physique shot forward like an arrow and rushed towards Ye Xiwen, while the spear in his hands suddenly shot. Compared to thest time, he was a lot faster this time and the ice-cold chill in the air made the surrounding temperature to reduce quickly, and to such an extent that it could easily freeze up people. When Ye Xiwen saw the Spearqi wrapped on the spear as it arrived in front him, his eyes shed with a color of surprise in them. Ye Xiwen did not expect that Mo Han would be able to so quickly wrap Spearqi on the spear, he truly lived up to his reputation as a genius and his strength seemed a lot higher than before. One could say that if he had not met Ye Xiwen, then it was possible that he might have stepped into the top twenty rankings. Ye Xiwen grasped towards the void and a long de made up of Zhen Qi suddenly condensed in his hand and fiercely chopped out. ¡°Boom!¡± A loud sound of spear intersecting the de spread everywhere, causing an intense air friction, and instantly, a burst of thunderp-like sound echoed in the arena. ¡°Why do you not use your de, do you look down on me?¡± Mo Han asked in a cold voice. Mo Han was just like a mad martial artist who could allow himself to fail, could allow himself to die, but definitely could not allow anyone to look down on him. ¡°You are mistaken, I don¡¯t need a de to use my de skills because my de technique is actually a method that requires congealing Zhen Qi into a de, so there¡¯s not much difference whether I use a de or not.¡± Ye Xiwen lightly said. ¡°Cold moon beheader¡± itself required deqi as the main attacking method, and unless Ye Xiwen was facing an evenly matched opponent, using a de didn¡¯t make much difference. If the strength of Ye Xiwen¡¯s opponent was less, then using a de did not make a difference but if his opponent was much stronger, then also using a de couldn¡¯t change the oue. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I was impolite.¡± Mo Han did not think that there really were some masters who could simply use hands to disy weapon based power techniques. As his voice fell, he instantly shot his spear, the spear point glittered with a cold and threatening light, and just like a snake hade out of the hole, the spear shadow went toward Ye Xiwen and instantly arrived in front of him. Ye Xiwen also instantly released Zhen Qi from his body and congealed a long de, then released several dancing de shadows, which moved towards the spear shadow. ¡°ng!¡± The loud sound of metals shing spread in the arena along with sparks from the collision between the two. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de covered with Zhen Qi and the spear of Mo Han heavily shed and produced rippled of shock waves that spread out of the arena, and soon, the two figures severely collided into each other. Ye Xiwen stood motionless but Mo Han hastily went back few steps and looked at Ye Xiwen with a startled look in his eyes. Mo Han did not hesitate and once again activated the man-spear unification, and although he just exchanged two moves with Ye Xiwen, he waspelled to use the strength of man-spear unification realm, and right now, during his second fight with Ye Xiwen, he discovered that in these three months, he himself had be much more tyrannical, but Ye Xiwen¡¯s tyranny was even more unreasonable. One could say thatst time, they were almost evenly matched, but this time, he had no option but to use the strength of man-spear unification to resist against the formidable strength of Ye Xiwen. Mo Han heavily trod on the ground and his physique started to merge with his spear and started taking form of a spear shadow, and above the spear point, Xiantian Zhen Qi rapidly condensed, and by means of his own aura, his body seemed to have stacked with the spear, and totally enveloped in Zhen Qi, his body almost fused together with the spear. He entered into the man-spear unification realm and pierced through the air producing Chi Chi sound, it seemed as if the air was being stabbed and cracking under the tremendous strength of Mo Han¡¯s spear attack. Facing the man-spear unification of Mo Han, a dignified expression appeared on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face. He now understood how Mo Han was able to rush all the way to this round, because by using the strength of man-spear unification, Mo Han¡¯sbat strength surpassed the strength of masters at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, and wasparable to masters of Xiantian sixth stage. However, unlikest time, Ye Xiwen would not dodge this time. His stature sted forward and went straight towards Mo Han¡¯s man-spear unification form. On the arena, a Spearlight was advancing towards a delight, and only after an instant, under the gazes of numerous spectators, a storm swept out, and in a blink of an eye, the two opponents finally arrived in front of each other. ¡°Boom!¡± Two figures severely shed into each other and a surge of terrifying st from the tip of the two weapons fiercely spread and swept off like a tsunami, sending shock waves in all directions. In the wake of this terrifying st, a figure was sent flying out of the arena upside down. The rioting air and shock waves calmed down after a moment, and the situation on the arena became apparent to everyone when they saw Ye Xiwen standing on the stage, crossing his hands behind the back. Now, the oue of this battle was no longer hidden from the spectators! Suddenly, countless onlookers in the surroundings cheered, and at this time, there was no longer any distinction, whether it was new disciples or the senior disciples, all of them were cheering and shouting, and not just for a new disciple like Ye Xiwen, they were cheering for a formidable genius who just now created a brand-new record, right in front of their eyes! Wasn¡¯t this situation simply against the heaven¡¯s will? Many of the senior disciples who originally disliked Ye Xiwen had to admit that Ye Xiwen was just too formidable. He defeated Mo Han who was not just strong, after entering into the man-spear unification realm, his strength increased to the point of beingparable to the masters of Xiantian sixth stage. Now, it was obvious to everyone that if he had not faced Ye Xiwen in this round then he might have entered into the top ten seed disciple rankings with ease. However unfortunately, he encountered Ye Xiwen and it was just like fate. Whether it was Zhang Chi or Mo Han, both of them were strong and could have achieved higher ranks in thispetition, but Ye Xiwen was just too strong, and to this point in thepetition, no one was able to be a hurdle in his advancement. ¡°Ye Xiwen wins!¡± Ye Xiwen smoothly crossed the fifth round and had already broken the old record of Qi Feifan and created a brand-new record in the recent history of Yi Yuan School. At least one should be able to count him as the first person to create this record in the past hundred years of Yi Yuan School. While, at this time, everyone was boiling with excitement and ebullition, Ye Xiwen heard a cold voice directed at him: ¡°Ye Xiwen, your luck ends here, enjoy your final moments while you can.¡± Ye Xiwen looked and saw that it was that young marquis, and right now, was looking at Ye Xiwen with his eyes filled with hatred. There was a color of envy shing in his eyes, why, he himself managed to rush into the sixth round then why was no one concerned about him, why were everyone¡¯s eyes fixated on Ye Xiwen, why couldn¡¯t he get the attention of everyone! Why him! Ye Xiwen looked coldly at the young marquis, because he just knew that his next opponent would be none other than this arrogant and despotic young marquis. He did not know whether it was a coincidence or someone¡¯s trick, but in a short time, at this ce, he once again bumped into the young marquis. After resting for a moment, Ye Xiwen heard his name being called for the next round. ¡°The next battle, Ye Xiwen, Zhubing Xun!¡± Zhubing Xun was the name of the young marquis! ¡°Come on Ye Xiwen, defeat that Zhubing Xun!¡± ¡°Come on, make history, create a legend!¡± Almost all of the disciples were cheering in support of Ye Xiwen and really wanted him to win. If Zhubing Xun won then it won¡¯t be worth looking at, because almost every year in the past, the same thing had happened over and over in the seed disciplepetition. Everyone was craving for a miracle, a heart pumping legend to take birth in front of their eyes, a miracle that they would never forget. And if Ye Xiwen actually won then that would be entirely different, because it would create a historical record, a record that had never been created ever in the history of Yi Yuan School, it would be like witnessing the birth of a miracle, a legend, and after winning this round, his next opponent would be an elite seed disciple and also one of the strongest experts. If Ye Xiwen won against such an opponent in the next round then he would be able to create history, create myth in Yi Yuan School. Everyone was supporting Ye Xiwen and wanted him to win, rather than a stereotyped warrior like Zhubing Xun. Due to this, Zhubing Xun¡¯splexion suddenly changed and became unsightly. He was extremely furious and was looking at Ye Xiwen with killing intent overflowing from his eyes. Chapter 139 – Martial arts abolished Chapter 139 ¨C Martial arts abolished ¡°Ye Xiwen, today is the day you die!¡± A cruel smile appeared on Zhubing Xun¡¯s face, he hated Ye Xiwen and finally got the opportunity to take revenge. Zhubing Xun¡¯s terrifying and extraordinary aura instantly released on the arena and Zhen Yuan overflowed everywhere, revealing the fact that he was already at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage. Finally, at this time, theplexions on the faces of all of the disciples and elders suddenly changed. Perhaps the strength of a master at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage couldn¡¯t be regarded as anything, but this was the semifinal round of seed disciplepetition, and disying such strength on the arena was definitely a huge variable. ¡°What, how is this possible!¡± An elder said in an astonished manner while his widened eyes were staring towards the arena. It was obvious the impact of Zhubing Xun¡¯s strength was significant on not just disciples but elders as well. Above the high stand, a cruel look shed in Luo Yifan¡¯s eyes, while he was looking at Ye Xiwen! ¡°I never thought that this Zhubing Xun would actually have such strength, well, if this is the case, then I am afraid that this time, Ye Xiwen is in a very dangerous situation.¡± ¡°I heard that there is a feud going on between Zhubing Xun and Ye Xiwen, perhaps this time, Ye Xiwen is going to suffer a cruel fate at the hands of Zhubing Xun, because it doesn¡¯t seem like he will go easy on Ye Xiwen.¡± ¡°If I was him then I will not set foot on the arena, because if I set foot on the arena, then looking at Zhubing Xun¡¯s attitude, it would be no different than fighting in the Life and Death Arena.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why you can never reach the same height as Ye Xiwen, if he concedes in this fight, then from now on, his heart of martial arts willpletely break, and after that, it will be difficult for him to advance even an inch forward, and especially for a genius, it will be no different than living death, so he might as well die now.¡± ¡°I did not think that you have the courage toe up, but now that you havee up, you won¡¯t get an opportunity to go down.¡± Zhubing Xun sneered again and again, for him, it didn¡¯t matter whether Ye Xiwen came up or not, he was willing to ept both. If Ye Xiwen woulde up, then he would seize the opportunity to kill him, and if perhaps Ye Xiwen didn¡¯te up, then it would show that he was afraid, that he was actually a timid man who was afraid of getting into trouble, and it would permanently leave a stain on his reputation. Then Ye Xiwen won¡¯t be able to live bravely and fearlessly, and by that time, it won¡¯t even be necessary to kill Ye Xiwen. ¡°Your rubbish talks are really annoying.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°If you are so eager tomit suicide, I¡¯ll dly help you out.¡± A sinister look appeared on Zhubing Xun¡¯s face as he said. Zhubing Xun grasped towards the void and suddenly grabbed a red colored double-edged sword, very exquisite, but at this time, instantly, the whole arena as if turned into a volcano and heat waves started to blow in all directions. This was actually a spiritual tool, not a fake spiritual tool like pseudo-spiritual tool or something, but a real and authentic spiritual tool, driven by Zhen Yuan. When Zhubing Xun took out this real spiritual tool, suddenly, it seemed as if the whole atmosphere started to boil. It was obvious that a pseudo-spiritual tool couldn¡¯t be a match for this spiritual tool. Spiritual tool, coupled with the inherent strength of peak Xiantian sixth stage, who could be Zhubing Xun¡¯s opponent in the seed disciplepetition. Suddenly, all of the disciples in the crowd, who were cheering for Ye Xiwen a while ago, were immediately surrounded by despair and started worrying for Ye Xiwen. Looking at the current situation, it seemed absolutely impossible for Ye Xiwen to win against Zhubing Xun. Even among the core disciples, not everyone could have spiritual tools. Only a small part of core disciples possessed spiritual tools, and even if it was only a low-grade spiritual tool, its might waspletely a huge mess and hard to deal with. ¡°Ye Xiwen, today you will die, I must give you an ugly death.¡± Zhubing Xun said in a cold voice. ¡°If you think you will be able to beat me relying on this then you are too na?ve.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a calm voice. ¡°This is the final struggle!¡± Zhubing Xun shouted, his red sword danced, and in an instant, red me roared and surrounded the red sword, and it seemed as if the entire air was burning, issuing Zizi burning sound, and it instantly went towards Ye Xiwen. The roaring med condensed into a ming red dragon, and it seemed its ws were tearing the world itself, while it nipped towards Ye Xiwen, as if it was going to swallow Ye Xiwen. (NT: chu¨ª s¨« zh¨¥ng zh¨¢ = final struggle (idiom)) Ye Xiwen sneered, looked coldly at Zhubing Xun, and in a sh, terrifying peerless waves of Zhen Yuan wantonly rippled out of his body. Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand extended with ease, Zhen Yuan condensed on it and it directly turned into a w, and immediately rushed towards Zhubing Xun¡¯s ming red dragon. The next instant, Ye Xiwen¡¯s big w directly grabbed the ming red dragon and fiercely crushed it. ¡°What is this, it is impossible!¡± On the high stand, Luo Yifan suddenly stood up from his seat and looked incredibly at Ye Xiwen. He just couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when he actually saw Ye Xiwen using Zhen Yuan. How could Ye Xiwen refine Zhen Yuan? He had gathered information about Ye Xiwen and knew that he had not yet entered into the Xiantian sixth stage, so how could he refine Zhen Yuan. Also, if he was really not at Xiantian sixth stage then it was even more bizarre that he had been able to refine Zhen Yuan. At this point, everyone realized this simple fact, if Ye Xiwen could use Zhen Yuan then there was no difference left between him and a master of Xiantian sixth stage. It was really an unwise step not to kill Ye Xiwen while he had the chance. The killing intention suddenly increased inside Luo Yifan¡¯s heart as he was witnessing the scene of Ye Xiwen using Zhen Yuan with a mad look in his eyes. ¡°How is this possible!¡± At this time, Lin Zhentian also suddenly jumped up from his seat and looked at Ye Xiwen with disbelief, then said, ¡°How is this possible, he obviously stepped into the Xiantian realm not long ago, then how can he refine Zhen Yuan so quickly! ¡° Many elders and true disciples sitting on the high stand had bewildered looks on their faces. Originally, when they found out that Zhubing Xun was at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage then that had made them quite surprised, but after all Zhubing Xun had been a master at the peak of Xiantian fifth stage for some time, so if he managed to break into the Xiantian sixth stage, then although it was surprising, but it was not bewildering. However, when they saw Ye Xiwen using Zhen Yuan and his strength also seemedparable to the masters of Xiantian sixth stage and this immediately made them unable to sit still. One must know, there was a heaven and earth difference between Xiantian sixth stage and Xiantian fifth stage, and Ye Xiwen managed to refine Zhen Yuan without even reaching the Xiantian sixth stage, but he definitely possessed thebat strength of Xiantian sixth stage realm. There were shocked looks on the faces of many people because perhaps this scene had totally disturbed their logic. One must know that Ye Xiwen already possessed the strength equivalent to the master of the Xiantian sixth stage without even stepping into the Xiantian sixth stage, such a peerless genius, he clearly surpassed the previous peerless genius, Qi Feifan. Although Qi Feifan was very powerful, but even he had been unable to show such an extent of progress and strength in his era. Also, Ye Xiwen had yet to break through to the Xiantian sixth stage, in that case, since he had not stepped into the Xiantian sextet and still managed to see through the mysteries of Zhen Yuan and refined as well, such a person was absolutely a rare talent! ¡°How is this even possible!¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen has been able to refine Zhen Yuan, and that too at such a profound level, it is really terrifying.¡± ¡°This is just great, now we can see a fiercepetition between the two evenly matched sides.¡± All of disciples were shocked, but then suddenly detonated the scene with their loud cheers. All of a sudden, numerous pairs of eyes were firmly fixated on the two men, and were probably waiting for the fierce battle to start. Although, it was a seed disciplepetition, but this fight was clearly going to be at the level of fights between two core disciples. This fight would be no different than the fights between front row seed disciples who were on the verge of bing core disciples. These disciples who were almost on the verge of bing core disciples had just entered into the Xiantian sixth stage, although they had notpletely transformed Xiantian Zhen Qi into Zhen Yuan because of the difficulty of conversion, and it took a long time. For some people, it took a few days, for some, it took several months, and sometimes, it could also need a full year to attainplete conversion. Sometime, even longer than that. Moreover the strength of these people was obviously inferior to the two contenders present on the arena because Ye Xiwen had alreadypletely transformed Zhen Yuan and Zhubing Xing was at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage. At this time, above the arena, Ye Xiwen¡¯s whole body was covered with Zhen Yuan and fluttering his clothes, and suddenly, from his body, a formidable and peerless aura scattered in all directions, just likeyer uponyer waves were rushing in the ocean. ¡°Zhubing Xun, you think you can elevate your skills by relying on someone else, and you will still be my opponent? Trash will forever be trash, and today, I¡¯ll educate you and allow you to see the huge gap between us, so that you never bear the thought of challenging me ever again.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a cold voice. ¡°Ye Xiwen, just because you managed to refine Zhen Yuan, don¡¯t be so confident, because even if you step into the Xiantian sixth stage, you will still not be my opponent. Today, I will crush you once and forever.¡± Zhubing Xun roared, his eyes were filled with jealousy, why, just why, in order to gain strength, he had to pay a huge price, but this Ye Xiwen, why did he possess such insane strength even though he recently joined the Main Sect. ¡°Ye Xiwen, die!¡± Zhubing Xun roared, and along with his red sword, he turned into a streamer and instantly rushed towards Ye Xiwen. His entire body was ming with rampaging fire, and from top to bottom, his body looked like the mes itself. Ye Xiwen took out his long de, but he wasn¡¯t holding the de in his hand because while using the might of Lingqi, he didn¡¯t need to hold the de in his hand. A radiant delight chopped out in the air at a stunning speed. Two shes of light severely shed in the middle of the arena, causing an endless st which instantly boiled the atmosphere inside the arena, surging out around the perimeter of the set protection enchantment, and at this time, it also began to fracture. Since this protection enchantment was designed only to sustain the battles of seed disciple level, but the current battle had reached the fighting level of core disciples. ¡°Boom!¡± The whole enchantment suddenly disrupted and the st wave swept toward countless disciples who had to instantly use Zhen Qi to resist. All of the disciples eximed at the extremely terrifying might of this attack. ¡°Poof!¡± Zhubing Xun spouted blood and his whole body flew upside down. After all, he had recently reached the peak of Xiantian sixth stage and hadn¡¯t used the genuine method to achieve that, sopared with a genuine master of peak of Xiantian sixth stage, his own strength was quitecking, not to mention, even if he was a genuine master of peak Xiantian sixth stage, he would still not be a match of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen used celestial step and his figure instantly overtook Zhubing Xun¡¯s inverted flying figure, then put out his hand to firmly grasp Zhubing Xun¡¯s neck, just like an iron hoop, binding around his nape. ¡°Ye Xiwen, I will kill you, this enmity is absolutely irreconcble!¡± Zhubing Xun yelled, but at this instant, Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand clutched even more tightly, and Zhubing Xun was unable to breathe or talk. ¡°Overreaching yourself, just depending on your own strength, you tried to kill me not just once, but again and again, this is your retribution!¡± Ye Xiwen said in a loud voice, umted Zhen Yuan in his other hand, and in a sh, it went towards the Dantian of Zhubing Xun and instantly sted. ¡°Bang!¡± Zhubing Xun¡¯s Dantian was immediately destroyed, and with this, Ye Xiwen abolished his martial arts. Chapter 140 – Mutual confrontation! Chapter 140 ¨C Mutual confrontation! ¡°I never thought that Zhubing Xun would actually lose.¡± ¡°It¡¯s almost like a miracle, who would have thought that Zhubing Xun would actually be defeated even after being at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage and he also possessed a spiritual tool.¡± ¡°Indeed, although Zhubing Xun has already entered into the realm of peak Xiantian sixth stage, but that Ye Xiwen cannot be taken lightly since he has already refined Zhen Yuan.¡± ¡°Yes, before the battle actually started, no one thought that he actually possessed such incredible strength.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity, if these two hadn¡¯t bumped into each other in the semi-final round then they could undoubtedly obtain the ces of champion and runner up in the final round.¡± ¡°But didn¡¯t you just listen to what Ye Xiwen said a moment ago, that Zhubing Xun is actually working for someone, and that person must have used some means to enhance his strength.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, no wonder, actually I know that Zhubing Xun, very arrogant but his strength was ordinary, but all of a sudden, he became so formidable, which makes me want to think, just whose is behind him.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know? I heard that Zhubing Xun has joined the Fanshen pce, the faction of Brother Luo, a true disciple. Five years ago, Brother Luo entered into the ranks of true disciples, and Zhubing Xun has only recently joined his faction!¡± ¡°So, then, the one behind Zhubing Xun is actually Brother Luo......¡± ¡°Hush, Hush, Brother Luo is on the high stand, if he heard then you will surely die, don¡¯t you want to live?¡± A disciple cautiously said. ¡°Even if Brother Luo is a true disciple, he cannot do such a thing because it will simply break the rules of Sect. If every true disciple try to casually enhance the strength of the members of their faction to win the championship, then these true disciples would end up controlling the oues of these battles, furthermore thepetition would lose its meaning and there would be no point for us toe and watch.¡± Generally speaking, so long as stepped into the Xiantian sixth stage, disciples would generally choose to be core disciples, because,pared to the core disciples, the treatment of inner disciples was very different and this was also in order to keep the strength of strong inner disciples in check and encourage them to strive and be core disciples. By staying in the ranks of inner disciples, he seized the opportunities of other inner disciples. But, disciples were not forced to choose between inner or core ranks, the decision to choose was solely up to them, so if Zhubing Xun wanted to participate in the seed disciplepetition, despite being a master at the peak of Xiantian sixth stage, it could not be regarded as breaking the rules, in fact, in the past, many disciples of Xiantian sixth stage had appeared in the seed disciplepetition. If he had achieved his current strength relying on his own practice then no one would say anything, but a moment ago, Ye Xiwen mentioned that his strength was not due to his own practice, but he had cheated and undergone forced enhancement of his strength, and was sent to participate, which was tantamount tomitting a huge taboo and clearly vited the rules. Since the treatment obtained by the disciples of inner rank and core rank was different, the resources given to the inner disciples were always inferior inparison to the resources given to the core disciples by the sect. If core disciples also participated in thispetition and strived for championship, then there would be no hope left for the inner disciples, therefore this matter was something that really incurred public wrath. These discussions were going on in whispers only, but as more and more people entered the discussion, gradually, these whispers turned into noise. Above the high stand, Luo Yifan¡¯splexion was somewhat unsightly, and loudly snorted, of course, the discussions of these inner and outer disciples were naturally not causing any impact on him, because for a true disciple like him, he didn¡¯t need to give exnation to them. The reason of his vexation was that he miscalcted once again and allowed Ye Xiwen to escape, which made him very angry, extremely angry. This made him feel like his self-esteem had been provoked! Ye Xiwen must die at all costs! In the heart of Luo Yifan, the intention to kill was boiling. Ye Xiwen not only defeated Zhubing Xun, who had been trying to be insufferably arrogant a moment ago, butpletely abolished his martial arts, and without even thinking twice, in front of such arge crowd, he reached out his hand and directly crippled Zhubing Xun. None of the elders came to stop him, because right after standing on this arena, even life and death remained only in the hands of the contenders and no one was allowed interfere or question their actions. Ye Xiwen had frightened arge number of inner disciples and outer disciples. He was unexpectedly so fierce, although when Ye Xiwen was winning all the initial rounds in a rxed manner, everyone guessed that he must be saving his real strength, his true strength, and should be very formidable, but they never thought that his true strength would actually be so tyrannical. He was easily and readily using Zhen Yuan and his strength also turned out to be many times morepared to that arrogant Zhubing Xun. Ye Xiwen was just a new disciple, so how could he be so formidable. Themon sense simply did not conform to his existence, especially for those senior disciples, it was like that kind of impulse to punch the wall. They had spent so many years in the Main Sect, while Ye Xiwen had not even spent one year in the Main Sect. These disciples had been practicing for so many years in the Main Sect, but the difference in their strengths and Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was just like the difference between heaven and earth. In their hearts, Ye Xiwen had suddenly turned into an enigmatic figure. Compared to the other disciples, who were totally stunned after witnessing Ye Xiwen¡¯s true strength, the disciples of Qian Yu faction were celebrating, after all, the stronger Ye Xiwen was, the more secured they would be, then no one would try to bully them, and no one knew when but Ye Xiwen¡¯s image already surpassed Ye Feng, Yan Chiling, and several other high-level members of Qian Yu faction, although they were still the senior executives of Qian Yu faction, while Ye Xiwen almost never took part in any of its affairs, but one must not forget that this was a world where strength was the supremew, and only an exceptionally strong person could obtain the respect of everyone. Ye Feng and other high-level executives were indeed alsopetent, and looking at their strengths and talents, they could be outstanding existences among the new disciples, and even within a decade, there was arge possibility that they would break through to the level of core disciples, and in the future, they would most likely be formidable masters. However they still weren¡¯t a match for the current Ye Xiwen, who defeated all his enemies one by one in front of them, which was quite shocking for them to ept. Before, Ye Xiwen had saved them and overcame one difficulty after another, and now, he defeated these masters as if he was chopping vegetables. By now, in their hearts, an invincible image of Ye Xiwen had already established itself, along with the faith that there wasn¡¯t an enemy that Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t defeat! This was faith in his invincibility, and every faction needed at least one person of this type, in order to lead the faction on the path of better development, but the situation in Qian Yu faction was rather special, because Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t take interest in the affairs of faction. Regardless of what those people were discussing among themselves, Ye Xiwen slowly arrived in front of Zhubing Xun and said in a cold voice: ¡°Zhubing Xun, I told you before, if you think you can rely on external means to enhance your strength then you will regret it, fortunately this is not life and death arena, otherwise you would be a pile of rotten meat by now.¡± Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have a favorable impression of Zhubing Xun and Luo Yifan. Birds of a feather flock together, both of them were the same type of arrogant people who wanted to kill others when they thought that their own dignity had been damaged. Although, Zhubing Xun¡¯s martial arts was spent, but he still didn¡¯t faint, and at this time, there was an abnormal pernicious look in his eyes. If his eyes had magical powers, then with just a look, he could have stabbed Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and perforated it with countless holes, he hated Ye Xiwen, his pride was his life, but Ye Xiwen had already defeated him twice, and now, he simply wanted tomit suicide. If he could sell him soul to the devil to kill Ye Xiwen, he would not hesitate to sell himself to the devil! However, right now, there was no strength left in his body, his Dantian was shattered to pieces by Ye Xiwen, and he didn¡¯t have any control over the Zhen Yuan in his body. The Zhen Yuan was running wildly in his meridians like a wild horse, totally out of control, while destroying his meridians and rushing through all his acupuncture points, and so on. But still, he was not aware of the simple fact that if he hadn¡¯t provoked Ye Xiwen again and again, then he would not have encountered such a thing, and in his heart, the only thing that remained was pure hatred for Ye Xiwen, if only Ye Xiwen was not there, then he would not be in such a pain! Ye Xiwen looked at Zhubing Xun lying on the ground, but didn¡¯t kill him at the scene, considering that they were already in front of arge crowd, and it was inappropriate, although Zhubing Xun threatened to kill him again and again, and many other disciples had also heard it, so even if the executives of Yi Yuan School would inquire, he would openly answer. ¡°Ye Xiwen, this is just a battle on arena, but you are too ruthless, by crippling my subordinate, you dared to offend a true disciple!¡± At this time, a faint voice came from the high stand, and it belonged to Luo Yifan. Ye Xiwen sneered and finally could not bear, and various schemes shed in his mind instantly. The opposite party was a true disciple, and he had stepped into the truth realm only this decade, but definitely deserved to be respected like other warriors of truth realm! Ye Xiwen was determined to have a hands on argument with him, but he must have a foolproof n, because at this point, even one misstep might cause a big trouble. With a cold smile on his face, Ye Xiwen said: ¡°Brother Luo¡¯s words are totally biased, looking at this Zhubing Xun¡¯s strength, it is obvious to everyone that he was cheating. God knows who that dog is that helped him in cheating and actually gave him cheat to enhance his strength and snatched ranks from fellow inner disciples. My strength is small and weak and I couldn¡¯t dare to have the slightest rxation, so I did it by mistake.¡± Ye Xiwen said those words in order to set up a trap for Luo Yifan, and used the resentments of other inner disciples to safeguard his own point while also directed them towards Luo Yifan. Now anyone could figure it out that the one, who gave cheat to Zhubing Xun, in order to enhance his strength, was most probably Luo Yifan. ¡°Shut up, you did it by mistake? You did it in front of so many elders and true disciples and you actually dare to make such irresponsible remarks, you have clearly tried to take revenge for your personal enmity with him!¡± It was such an obvious provocation, but Luo Yifan was certainly unable to bear it and although he did not care what these inner and outer disciples thought about him, but when he saw a red fruit kept in the trap designed by Ye Xiwen, he just had to jump, and after he realized his mistake, it made him even more aggrieved. ¡°Brother Luo¡¯s remarks are one-sided, as they say, the so-called fist has no eyes, no one can anticipate what will happen in a battle, not to mention, ording to the rules of thispetition, no one investigates the reasons behind someone¡¯s life and death, did Brother Luo perhaps forget about this?¡± Ye Xiwen shouted loudly and the fierce sound waves released from his mouth actually went straight towards Luo Yifan. The disciples immediately had dumbfounded looks on their faces and were totally stunned. They never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually dare to shout at a true disciple like Luo Yifan, this level of boldness was simply great and stunning! Chapter 141 – Title Chapter 141 ¨C Title As far as others were concerned, Ye Xiwen¡¯s approach could be described as too audacious and reckless, to actually shout and talk back with a true disciple, this was truly bizarre. There was difference of heaven and earth between an inner disciple and a true disciple, and even if Luo Yifan was to kill Ye Xiwen in rage, right on the spot, perhaps, the sect would not be able to do much against him. However, Luo Yifan was already dead set on killing him and the killing intention could be seen shing in his eyes, and it seemed as if it could burst out any time, both sides nearly had no consideration for face anymore, although they were trying to mask their mutual hatred on the surface, but it just didn¡¯t make sense because they seemed to be afraid of themselves, that sooner orter, the conflict would erupt between the two, while at this time, Luo Yifan was nning in his heart about how to get rid of Ye Xiwen. And at this moment, Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind was also flowing with hundreds of tricks to kill Luo Yifan, because the only way out for the two sides was, you die, I live! However for the other disciples, they did not know the various matters, the real reason behind this situation was unknown to them. They just felt that Luo Yifan was very strange, why would he suddenly give cheat to his man to enhance his strength, and Ye Xiwen was even stranger that he publicly shouted and talked back with a true disciple, didn¡¯t he want to live anymore? Of course, Ye Xiwen naturally had his own ns, because he knew that Lin Zhentian was also on the high stand, and if Luo Yifan tried to attack him then Lin Zhentian would definitely rush to help him. Although Luo Yifan was strong, but so was Lin Zhentian and his strength couldn¡¯t be underestimated! Therefore, already aware of this fact, Ye Xiwen seemingly made this risky move, but was actually a safe and well calcted move. Ye Xiwen used cleverly weaved words to shut Luo Yifan¡¯s mouth with truth, making him turn into a rude and unreasonable figure in the eyes of everyone! ¡°Bold, so you even dare to talk back with me!¡± Luo Yifan¡¯s voice thundered from the high stand, and at the same instant, his terrifying and peerless aura came down from the high stand and firmly locked on Ye Xiwen. He felt as if the great might surged from the heaven and crashed on his body. This was the peerless might of a true disciple, it was said that a true disciple gave up affectation to some extent and strived toprehend the true principles of the world, so they were called true, and to some extent, their coercion was not their personal strength, but it was drawn from the power of the world itself. For ordinary people, it was simply impossible toprehend the power of the world, so how could they resist. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen just felt a thrill of horrifying peerless coercion crushing his body, and to fight back, he immediately actuated Zhen Yuan throughout his body, however right then, Tianyuan mirror suddenly had a movement and released a faint bloody-red light, which wrapped his body and he felt that the horrifying peerless coercion disappeared without a trace. Ye Xiwen restrained his mind, and with a faint smile on his face, he said: ¡°Brother Luo is highly mistaken. I was not talking back with you rather I was just thinking that perhaps you have forgotten the sect rules, so I specifically reminded you about them.¡± ¡°What......¡± Luo Yifan¡¯s doubt-filled voice came from the high stand. He did not think that his peerless coercion wouldn¡¯t be able to suppress Ye Xiwen, and an embarrassing look immediately appeared on his face. Just how Ye Xiwen could so quickly andpletely disregard his coercion, this boy really knew some secret ways, which made him even more determined in his heart to kill Ye Xiwen. ¡°Enough, it¡¯s correct that we do not investigate the life and death over the arena, so this matter ends here!¡± At this time, a Taishang elder suddenly said from above the high stand. The status of a Taishang elder was loftier and nobler than other ordinary elders, and even true disciples like Luo Yifan were obedient in front of Taishang elder, and perhaps, only peerless true disciples of the level of Qi Feifan could dare to go against a Taishang elder. Ye Xiwen knew that Taishang elder was trying to smooth things over, and as a result of his interference, Luo Yifan suddenly stopped and didn¡¯t continue, which clearly disyed the gap between their strengths, because even Luo Yifan couldn¡¯t disobey the words of Taishang elder, and there was nothing he could do about it. So long as the strength was enough, it was possible that the situation would havepletely turned around! ¡°In this round, Ye Xiwen wins!¡± This was a clear victory of Ye Xiwen in this dispute, but in the process, he ended up publicly offending a true disciple, so other people were worried about him! ¡°Little brother, you talked back with a true disciple, I am afraidter, he would probably resort to any means to deal with you.¡± Ye Feng arrived next to Ye Xiwen and said in a concerned manner. ¡°Brother, rest assured, I will be alright, he cannot reach me so it doesn¡¯t matter even if I had an argument with him. If he wanted to kill me directly, then he would never use a roundabout way of enhancing the strength of Zhubing Xun to kill me on the arena.¡±Ye Xiwen exined. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± Ye Feng hastily said in a worried voice, although he was also a proud and arrogant man, but he was not a fool to not know what kind of existences these true disciples actually were. In total, there were hundreds of thousands of inner disciples, outer disciples and core disciples in Yi Yuan School, and for all of these disciples, their ultimate goal was to strive and be a true disciple. ¡°Rx brother, I¡¯m not some weakling, if he wants to fight, I will surely fight back.¡± Ye Xiwen said tofort his restless brother. Ye Xiwen¡¯s words immediately relieved Ye Feng, although he was still somewhat worried, but he knew that his little brother suddenly changed over a year ago, from an oridinary guy with ordinary thought process into a farsighted formidable expert, who calcted a lot of things before taking steps and rarely fought a battle where he was not sure of victory. He could make a guess that if Ye Xiwen was so confident then he certainly had some ns. ¡°No matter what, you have to be careful, even if Luo Yifan doesn¡¯t attack himself, he stillmands a lot of experts of Fanshen pce, and if they attacked then it would be very dangerous.¡± Ye Feng said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry brother, I have a sense of proportion!¡± Ye Xiwen said in a calm manner because he didn¡¯t want to add too much pressure on his elder brother. ¡°Final round, Ye Xiwen, Nangong Wang!¡± Finally, it was turn for Ye Xiwen¡¯sst battle which was also going to decide the champion of this year¡¯s seed disciplepetition, and in this battle, his opponent was Nangong Wang! Nangong Wang was d in a magnificent robe and his demeanor looked excellent, just like a handsome dandy young master of an influential n. It was said that he belonged to an aristocratic n of Great Yue State, named Nangong n, and among all of the inner disciples, he was considered the strongest and obviously at the top, in fact, even some core disciples were not his opponents. ¡°Young Ye, congrattions for having such a great advancement in your cultivation, this elder brother knows that he is not your match, but still hopes to exchange pointers with Young Ye.¡± Nangong Wang cupped his one hand into the other across his chest and said in a submissive manner. Although he confessed that he possessed inferior strength, but still maintained his elegant bearing, making it very difficult for others to have any sort of ill-feeling for him. Ye Xiwen nodded and said with a smile on his face: ¡°Such being the case, please begin Brother Nangong Wang.¡± For such a person, it was really hard to have even the slightest feeling of disgust. Ye Xiwen was also not an aggressive person, he was only aggressive for his enemies. He was the type who served wine for his friends, but also used shotgun if the wolves came. He was definitely not the type who would extend the right cheek if someone pped him on the left cheek, because this was just not his style. (NT: What if you tried to extend the right cheek and got pped on it as well? World War 3!! :P) Nangong Wang¡¯s imposing aura suddenly andpletely released out and it was even slightly better than that of Zhubing Xun, and Ye Xiwen understood that no wonder Nangong Wang was willing to fight him. He possessed a lot of inherent strength, even warriors of Xiantian sixth stage were not his opponents, and it seemed that he was only a step away, because quantitative changes caused a qualitative change as well, and he only needed to take this step, then perhaps he would immediately reach the peak of Xiantian sixth stage, and soon, he would also reach the Xiantian seventh stage. He was definitely a very extraordinary figure, no wonder he was able to upy the status of strongest seed disciple, and considering such a person, even Zhubing Xun might not be his opponent, after all, someone else had used cheat to enhance Zhubing Xun¡¯ strength, and the foundation of Nangong Wang looked quite deep and seemed like the real deal. ¡°Young Ye, be careful!¡± Nangong Wang didn¡¯t forget to remind Ye Xiwen, and right after that, a brown color double-edged sword instantly rushed towards him. In a sh, the entire arena was surrounded by dust, as if a sandstorm had suddenly appeared from the desert and hit the arena. The brown-colored sword was drawing support from a concealed sandstorm, and instantly split the air, while the whole atmosphere was covered with brown-colored marks and rushed piercing towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen was well prepared and had already summoned the vigorous Zhen Yuan to create a barrier to stop the sandstorm away from him, and just then, he focused Zhen Yuan in his both eyes, and suddenly, his eyesight greatly increased, enough to see right through the sandstorm. Ye Xiwen did not dodge, but directly grasped his palm, which turned into a dragon w and rapidly grasped toward the brown sword to grab it. He must defeat Nangong Wang by taking the easiest way possible and Ye Xiwen¡¯s best option was to force him to give up. ¡°Boom!¡± Nangong Wang¡¯s sword severely struck towards the dragon w of Ye Xiwen and a violent collision urred, causing a loud air explosion and the pseudo-spiritual brown sword was directly caught by the dragon w, and could not move anymore. Since Ye Xiwen had practiced Tyrant body technique, it has turned his body tough to such an extent that it shocked everyone, and coupled with his hand covered with Zhen Yuan, even pseudo-spiritual brown sword could inflict the slightest damage on his hand. ¡°Hoot!¡± Nangong Wang shouted loudly, and suddenly, the entire brown sword started to make a buzzing sound, and the sandstorm instantly gathered around it, condensed into double-edged sand sword and struck towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°San!¡± Ye Xiwen gave out a loud shout, and it seemed as ifyers afteryers of Zhen Yuan was being released from his body, like waves rushing in ocean, and in an instant, these waves of Zhen Yuan spread out andpletely disintegrated the double-edged sand swording towards Ye Xiwen. And at this time, Ye Xiwen also increased the output of Zhen Yuan in his hand and directly suppressed the rioting brown sword, and with this, he also crushed the only trace of Nangong Wang¡¯s hope in this battle. Suddenly the whole brown sword instantly quieted down and no longer resisted. It was peacefully lying down in Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand. ¡°Brother Nangong, let me win!¡± Ye Xiwen said while the brown sword was still in his hand. (NT: ch¨¦ng rang = you let me win (said politely after winning a game)) ¡°Thank you Young Ye for showing mercy!¡± Nangong Wang said but there was a hint of bitterness hidden in his voice, cursing his own fate for this defeat. ¡°In this round, Ye Xiwen wins!¡± ¡°This year¡¯s seed disciplepetition¡¯s champion is ...... Ye Xiwen!¡± Chapter 142 – Mosha territory Chapter 142 ¨C Mosha territory Beyond everyone¡¯s expectations, Ye Xiwen actually became the chief seed disciple, and the news quickly spread throughout Yi Yuan School. Ye Xiwen broke all records, it could be said that before, Ye Xiwen¡¯s record was at the same level as that of Qi Feifan, but now, a new disciple like Ye Xiwen had be chief seed disciple, this news suddenly engulfed the entire Yi Yuan School. One must know that in the past, a new disciple was able to break into the ranks of seed disciples andter, he was able to be a true disciple, although he fell from glory midway, but before he fell, he used to a temporary magnificent existence. Moreover, Ye Xiwen had broken all previous records and made new records. The status of chief seed disciple was equivalent to being the strongest of all the inner disciples, and along with this title, his reputation had beenpletely established in Yi Yuan School. In addition to this, no one knew who actually spread the rumor, but the rumor about contradiction between Ye Xiwen and Luo Yifan suddenly spread like forest fire in the entire Yi Yuan School. ording to the rumor, reportedly, Luo Yifan suspected that someone rted to him had been killed by Ye Xiwen, but Ye Xiwen did not admit his crime, so Luo Yifan was nning to kill Ye Xiwen because he didn¡¯t want to mistakenly let the real culprit escape. In a short while, the whole Main Sect was in uproar and Ye Xiwen¡¯s fame hadpletely erupted throughout the sect, and not just that, his performance had also left deep impression on true disciples and elders. And during this time, Qian Yu faction also showed a huge development, however, there were still many people who were considering the contradiction between Ye Xiwen and Luo Yifan as a bad omen for Qian Yu faction¡¯s future. Although Ye Xiwen was very formidable and would most likely enter into the ranks of top level true disciples, but that was a thing in the future, and the reality was that at present, he was going to face the potential retaliation from Luo Yifan, which made a lot of people to suspect the future prospects of Qian Yu faction, however there were still a lot of people who were willing to give it a try and join Qian Yu faction, because there was huge possibility that they might enjoy the future magnificence and benefit a lot from Ye Xiwen¡¯s future glory. Regarding the matters of Qian Yu faction, Ye Xiwen was still not willing to manage anything, so Ye Feng and Yan Chiling were made responsible for managing Qian Yu faction. As the chief seed disciple of this year¡¯s seed disciplepetition, Ye Xiwen received the rewards from the hands of a sect elder. He received a total of over 50,000 spirit stones, and it could be said that this year, Yi Yuan School was really willing to bleed money to cultivate these seed disciples, because in the previous seed disciplepetition, the seed disciples didn¡¯t even receive one tenth of the current amount. And Sect was willing to be so generous in order help the disciples to resist against the followers of Bai Mojiao. Of course, there were a lot of people who had greedy and envious looks in their eyes when they saw Hehe Dan being rewarded to the top three seed disciples. As chief seed disciple, Ye Xiwen received three Hehe Dan, the second ranked seed disciple, Nangong Wang, received two Hehe Dan, and the third ranked seed disciple received only one. Since Hehe Dan¡¯s main function was to slightly increase the chances of sessfully breaking through from the Xiantian fifth stage, however it didn¡¯t guarantee a sessful breakthrough, so sect would reward several Hehe Dan to the winners. After all of the seed disciples received their respective rewards from the sect, Ye Xiwen and other seed disciples tidied up and went towards a small dimension, located in the depths of Yi Yuan School. This small world was called Mosha territory, and inside it, there were countless devils in captivity, and also had a long history of countless years. This Mosha territory was just like the Huanmo territory, and in both these territories, Yi Yuan School had kept arge number of devils as captives, however, the type of devils found in Mosha territory waspletely different from Huanmo territory. It was said that a long time ago, a great devil development was carried out in Devil world, but it invoked a great disaster, and a huge crack opened up in the space, which disrupted the space into many fragments, and this Mosha territory was only one of the fragments. Later, the founder of Yi Yuan School used his magical powers to pull over this Mosha territory from the chaos. Inside the Mosha territory, devils gradually took birth and also developed their own heritage. They were very tough to deal with, and there were several devils who had already stepped into the truth realm. Generally speaking, Mosha territory was opened up only for true disciples, however this time, it was being opened for the seed disciples, so that they could practice and hone their skills in order to prepare themselves for the conference among the fourrge sects and the imperial n, which was only a month away. In addition to these inner seed disciples, some of the seed disciples among the core disciples were also going to enter Mosha territory, and even some true disciples had also been allowed to enter, in order to train themselves for the uing conference. All of this was for the conference which was going to take ce near East China Sea after a month. Standing outside the Mosha territory, there was a huge stone gate and a blockade enchantment to separate Yi Yuan School and Mosha territory, and outside the enchantment stood ten Yi Yuan School¡¯s elders, and although there were few ordinary looking elders present in front of a lot of disciples, but no one dared to underestimate these people, because these elders were all super experts, and even if there were a lot of truth level devils inside the Mosha territory, Yi Yuan School had only dispatched few elders to guard the gate. These inner seed disciples had arrived at the entrance of Mosha territory under the leadership of these elders, otherwise they couldn¡¯t possibly find this ce. After everyone seemed prepared, one of the ten elders suddenly said: ¡°You may want to think properly before you advance, in the Mosha territory, there are a lot of dangers, if you are inattentive then will surely die. All of you are outstanding inner disciples and can surely step into the ranks of core disciples in the future, and some of you even have the opportunity to be true disciples. So if you died here then it would all be in vain. If you want to quit, now is your chance!¡± After his speech wasplete, the elder nced at these disciples, and when he saw that no one was going to quit, he didn¡¯t say anything and immediately used spirit technique towards the huge enchantment, which then opened with a loud bang and waves of moqi immediately blew out from inside the Mosha territory, along with a vast breath that also bubbled out from inside and gave a cold and gloomy feeling to everyone standing outside. Everyone was determined and no one withdrew. All of the one hundred seed disciples entered the Mosha territory. Looking at the departing figures of these disciples, one of the ten gatekeeper elders sighed and said: ¡°One hundred elites entered, I really do not know how many wille out alive after a month from now.¡± ¡°So long as at least one useful disciplees out, our work will not go in vain this time.¡± Another elder said, ¡°At present, Bai Mojiao¡¯s movements are getting bigger and bigger, simply menacing, and in that case, we simply do not have time to allow these disciples to mature slowly, as long as one of them bes a true disciple, the sacrifices of others are worth it! ¡° This was thew of the jungle which only favored the strong. From the total two billion people selected by Yi Yuan School, in the eyes of an average person, these few disciples were truly the cream bunch and rare geniuses, however for a major sect like Yi Yuan School, they were actually like leeks, when one wave was cut, another wave would grow again, and this could go for an endless span of time. Bing a true disciple was very difficult, but once achieved, even the worth of ten thousand inner disciples was nothing inparison! So among these hundred people, as long as one person managed to reap benefits from this training and became a true disciple, then even if other people perished, this was still worth it. The reality was very cruel and everyone knew that among these seed disciples, there might be only one person who would stand out and everybody else would be nothing but stepping stones, but they all felt that they would be the one to seed, and no one thought that they could end up being the stepping stones. Soon, Ye Xiwen entered the Mosha territory, but he did not choose to go together with others, but went his own way. This Mosha territory was simr to the Huanmo territory, there was deste scene spread almost everywhere, and looked simr to a bleak picture, hellfire raging in all directions, the sky was gray in color while there was no day, no night, and no seasons as well. This was truly the Devil¡¯s environment, and as far as humans were concerned, even the warriors would feel very ufortable here, let alone ordinary people, and there was simply no way to survive in such an environment. So the devils born in Devil world were especially formidable in order to survive in such a harsh environment, but they also yearned for a good environment like the fine and soothing human habitat, just like the environment in Zhen Wu Jie, so for innumerable years, they would always think of ways to invade, and this was the root cause of innumerable years of war between Devil world and Zhen Wu Jie. Devil race did not put human race on the same level and thought that human race did not deserve to enjoy such a good environment. This was their main objective for so many years which slowly turned into conflict then gave birth to a deep hatred, and finally, they became sworn enemies. Ye Mo was sitting on Ye Xiwen¡¯s shoulder, it was small and had a little weight. Ye Mo took a deep breath and absorbed the moqi present in Mosha territory and immediately felt refreshed. Although it was not a devil, but should also be regarded as a devil spirit, and he didn¡¯t differentiate between Lingqi and moqi and could absorb both, however still preferred to absorb moqi. ¡°Ye Xiwen, I think that Luo Yifan will not let you off so easily, he will soon n something against you.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°Well, I know.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, ¡°It is because of this that even if I know that Mosha territory is a dangerous ce, but I still didn¡¯t go together with other disciples, because who knows how many of them turn out to be the spies of Luo Yifan.¡± Ye Xiwen said because he doubted that there were Luo Yifan¡¯s spies among the seed disciples who entered the Mosha territory and some of them might disclose information about him to Luo Yifan. It was very dangerous to stay with them, so he decided to move on his own, because that way, he would be rtively safer. Although, Ye Xiwen was also scheming how to kill Luo Yifan, but he was clearly aware of the fact that his own strength was still toockingpared to the formidable strength of Luo Yifan. They simply weren¡¯t in the same realm so before he would actually be capable enough to kill Luo Yifan, he must be careful till then, because if he wasn¡¯t careful enough, then the one to die would actually be him. Before he gained enough strength, he must take all his steps carefully, without being negligent! ¡°Now you can practice without any worries, because it just so happens that this ce is dangerous for others, but for you, it is a very good ce to practice.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°How can you say that?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°For others, those devils are very dangerous, but that is just for others, for you, those devils are simply nothing.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°Tianyuan mirror is the spiritual tool of the great Devil King itself, and for those devil, it is a natural adversary, so as long as you have Tianyuan mirror, you¡¯re the next sovereign king of the devil race!¡± Chapter 143 – Asura Chapter 143 ¨C Asura ¡°For others, those devils are very dangerous, but that is just for others, for you, those devils are simply nothing.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°Tianyuan mirror is the spiritual tool of the great Devil King itself, and for those devil, it is a natural adversary, so as long as you have Tianyuan mirror, you¡¯re the next sovereign king of the devil race!¡± Ye Xiwen suddenly remembered, at that time near the blood pool, he saw how those devils were prostrating themselves simply like ves in front of Ye Mo. He had also started to somewhat believe that the previous master of Ye Mo, about whom it always talked, was really the great Devil King and these devils were actually his ves. ¡°But these devils have been isted for so long in this small dimension, they will not recognize the Tianyuan mirror.¡± Ye Xiwen said because the devils in Mosha territory were different from the devils of Devil world because they had been held captive in Mosha territory for a long time, secluded, without any contact with the outside world. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they do not recognize, Tianyuan mirror still has a restraining effect on them.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°You are the master of Tianyuan mirror, the next sovereign king of devil race, they are your ves.¡± Ye Mo said. Regarding the ve thing just mentioned by Ye Mo, Ye Xiwen did not care because the important thing was strength, even if what Ye Mo said was true and its former master was the great Devil King, but he must have been able to be sovereign of devils not just by relying on Tianyuan mirror, rather by using his own formidable strength. If he was not strong and wanted to receive the devil race as his ves then won¡¯t he simply be courting death! However, there was one thing that Ye Xiwen could say for certain, that the Tianyuan mirror should have great restraining effect on the devils. Ye Xiwen did not stop and dashed all the way toward the depths of Mosha territory. ¡ª¡ª Above a piece ofnd in the depths of Mosha territory, Ye Xiwen was surrounded by more than a dozen devils of Asura race, and the strength of each of these Asura devil was above Xiantian sixth stage, which was quite terrifying. Asura race was an influential n of devil race, quite extraordinary, and was considered more formidable and fiercerpared to the demon race. These Asura devils were strangely smiling and advancing towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°These are Asura devils and belong to the Asura n of devil race, but still belong to the bottom ss of ves, the real aristocracy ss of Great Asura n takes birth as truth-level masters.¡± Ye Mo exined and introduced Asura n to Ye Xiwen while still sitting on his shoulder. Ye Xiwen secretly sighed while listening to the exnation of Ye Mo. Asura devils took birth as truth-level masters? The might of this n really went against the heaven¡¯s will. ¡°In the Devil world, there are eight great royal ns and Asura n is also one of them, a truly formidable n. The founder of Asura n had a huge body and was simply invincible and a universally matchless Asura devil, who had also be the sovereign of Devil world, therefore these Asura devils are so powerful and fierce.¡± Ye Mo informed about the secrets of the devil race to Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen continued to listen to thementary of Ye Mo, while he kept on shooting his palms and sweeping terrifying strong astral winds to constantly resist the attack of these Asura devils. An Asura rushed over, condensed his both hands into fists, and in a sh, his fist shot toward Ye Xiwen with a boom. It was an extremely clever fist technique and was called Asura fist. It was said that relying on the peerless might of Asura fist, the founder of Asura n was considered invincible in the Devil world, but at this time, the Asura fist technique of these Asura devils wasn¡¯t concise and didn¡¯t contain the true essence of original Asura fist, created by the founder of Asura n, and although their Asura fist technique had no essence, but it could still be regarded as a superior fist technique and its prowess was enormous. It was said the bodies of devils of Asura race were simply unparalleled and among all the devil ns in Devil world, they possessed the most tyrannical bodies, second to none, peerless and invincible. They believed that their bodies was the most invincible among all the devils of devil race, and between heaven and earth, no one should be able to take on their double fists. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have the slightest fear and immediately stepped forward, spread out his palms, and used Coiling Dragon palm, Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss, his both hands transformed into dragon ws, then instantly rushed forward. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The fist and palm collided and produced ¡®Bang¡¯ ¡®Bang¡¯ metal collision sound. ¡°Roar!¡± The Asura devil screamed pitifully, both of its arms softened and drooped, were directly broken off by Ye Xiwen in one shot. Although it was correct that Asura devils possessed unparalleled bodies, and were really very fierce, but Ye Xiwen had also practiced Tyrant body technique and the might granted by this technique was unparalleled as well. Ye Mo had inadvertently said that this power technique was quite fierce and its might was terrifying, and must have been used by mighty tyrants in the ancient ages of Zhen Wu Jie. The body of an Asura devil was truly tyrannical but it should not be a match for Ye Xiwen, who had practiced Tyrant body technique. These Asura devils were simply not the opponents of Ye Xiwen unless a great Asura devil was to appear. However many years had passed and no such Asura appeared. Ye Xiwen wanted to ask several questions but it didn¡¯t seem like Ye Mo was in a mood to answer so he didn¡¯t continue to ask. Ye Xiwen shot his palm and a dragon w loomed in front of him. ¡°Bang!¡± An Asura devil screams pitifully and was shot dead by Ye Xiwen¡¯s tyrannical palm, however right then, Tianyuan mirror instantly released intermittent bloody-red waves of light and the Jingqi of that Asura devil¡¯s body was instantly absorbed by this bloody-red light, then it gradually transformed into the most refined form of Jingqi, and without carrying any devil attributes, it emerged inside Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and was directly absorbed by him. (NT: Jingqi = essence or vitality) Ye Xiwen only felt that his skill suddenly deepened one point, and a delighted expression immediately appeared on his face and said: ¡°I did not think that this Tianyuan mirror would really be this effective, but there won¡¯t be any after-effects of this right?¡± ¡°Of course not, this is the tool of great Devil King, do you think that it is simr to the Modao based power techniques used by those inferior devils that it will have after-effects?¡± Ye Mo said in a somewhat annoyed manner. Ye Xiwen nodded because he also felt that it didn¡¯t seem like anything was wrong with the influx of refined Jingqi emerging inside his body, instead, it was purer and more polished than his own Jingqi essence. Ye Xiwen was suddenly overjoyed and directly rushed into the group of Asura devil to kill them all. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The Quanjin of those Asura devils fiercely boomed into the body of Ye Xiwen, but he instantly mustered endless Zhen Yuan around his body, whichpletely roused his clothes. These Quanjin were instantly blocked off by the cover of Zhen Yuan around his body and did not cause even a tiny bit of injury to his body. (NT: Quanjin = Fist strength) Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t even take out his long de, and topletely kill them off, he directly disyed the great might of Coiling Dragon palm, but he didn¡¯t jump in the group of Asura devils, rather he unceasingly shot his palms from far, and each of his palm would explode the air, and in a sh, the surrounding area in a radius of 1 Li waspletely ravaged by the fierce palm winds created by Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm attacks. Slowly, Ye Xiwen did not just stick to his palm method, he also used Chinese boxing, de skills, in short, he started using all kinds of martial arts technique, as if they were on his fingertips, and he used them instantly so long as using one seemed appropriate. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen finally used Rushing thunder hand, lighting and thunder, and gave the final blow, whichpletely annihted all of the Asura devils in the group, and all of their Jingqi were instantly transformed by Tianyuan mirror and absorbed by Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen thought that if he continued this way, then he was not far from having a breakthrough into the Xiantian fifth stage, and at that time, his fighting strength would also have a significant breakthrough and would be directlyparable to the fighting strength of the masters of Xiantian seventh stage. Then, he would be able to break into the Xiantian sixth stage at the fastest speed. Although, it was said that breaking through from Xiantian fifth stage into the Xiantian sixth stage was considered one of the biggest barriers for masters of Xiantian realm, and most of the warriors couldn¡¯t cross this threshold because the biggest hurdle they faced was transformation of Xiantian Zhen Qi to Zhen Yuan, however Ye Xiwen had already finished this step in advance, so he could easily break into the realm of Xiantian sixth stage, and perhaps, this would be the simplest breakthrough for him. By that time, his fighting strength would increase so much that he would be able to contend with the masters of Xiantian seventh stage, and at that time, it could be said for certain that Ye Xiwen would have sufficient strength to protect himself, as long as Luo Yifan didn¡¯t personallye into action, Ye Xiwen would have enough strength to protect himself, and even think about anti-kill. ¡°Haha, Ye Xiwen, go on like this and you¡¯ll soon be able to have a breakthrough, it¡¯s not too far from you and shouldn¡¯t take too long.¡± Ye Moughed and said, ¡°But if you are aiming for a quicker breakthrough, killing these Xiantian sixth stage Asura devils is not enough, you should find the formidable ones, Xiantian seventh stage, eighth stage and even Xiantian ninth stage devils, then behead them, capture their Jingqi, and you will see your cultivation growing by leaps and bounds!¡± ¡°This is really not a problem?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Rest assured because the Tianyuan mirror canpletely suppress them.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°As long as you are getting help from Tianyuan mirror, those devils are nothing in front of you, and follow my advice and you will be able to save countless years of penance to reach the truth realm. As long as you are willing to go the Devil world, soon, you¡¯ll be able to break into a previously unimaginable realm, and you will also be the next sovereign king of Devil world!¡± ¡°I should go to the Devil world and be a devil king?¡± Ye Xiwen shook his head and said, ¡°Maybe in the future I will have a trip to the Devil world, but definitely not now, and absolutely not to be some devil.¡± Regarding the proposal of Ye Mo about him bing the sovereign king of Devil world, Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have the slightest interest, but regarding the other proposal of killing Xiantian seventh, eighth and ninth stage devils, Ye Xiwen was very much interested. There was a difference of heaven and earth between Xiantian sixth stage devils and formidable devils of Xiantian seventh stage, eighth stage and ninth stage. In fact, in the Xiantian realm, there was huge strength difference between each of the stages. If he could kill higher level devils then his speed of practice would naturally rise skyrocketing. ¡°Come on, we should look for some higher level devils.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°No problem, listen to me, Tianyuan mirror can feel the presence of all of the devils, it can even perceive their strength levels, so you don¡¯t need to worry about finding them.¡± Ye Mo said in a confidence tone. While chatting like this with Ye Mo, Ye Xiwen rushed towards the depths of Mosha territory. Chapter 144 – The legendary hell Chapter 144 ¨C The legendary hell Mosha territory was a dangerous ce, with countless dangers, but as far as Ye Xiwen was concerned, it actually did not matter because by virtue of the power of Tianyuan mirror, as long as Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t encounter truth level devils, all other devils would have to face the restraining effect of Tianyuan mirror, then it would be easy for Ye Xiwen to behead them. Along with arge number of Xiantian seventh stage devils, a lot of formidable devils of Xiantian eighth stage devils were also killed by Ye Xiwen, then with the help of Tianyuan mirror, he absorbed their Jingqi and finally reached the peak saturation point of Xiantian fourth stage. Now, he was almost going to break through to the Xiantian fifth stage. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s fist rumbled and with a bang, an Asura devil at the Xiantian seventh stage was sted to smithereens, however just before his death, there was an incredible look in his eyes, and it seemed as if he couldn¡¯t ept that he was going to die like this, after all, he was an Asura of the Xiantian seventh stage and was still going to be killed by a human like Ye Xiwen who was merely at the peak of Xiantian fourth stage, it was simply a great insult and shameful. Suddenly, a terrifying Quanjin dropped down from the sky and sted towards Ye Xiwen. This fist attack was quite overbearing, and strange, as if it was an attack from a flying immortal in the sky and instantly approached Ye Xiwen, without giving any warning. Ye Xiwen was simply toote to dodge and suffered this fist attack. ¡°Pu!¡± Ye Xiwen spouted blood and looked up but saw nothing but void, and then suddenly, the figure of an Asura gradually took shape in midair. It was a young Asura devil and like other Asura devils, he looked quite ugly, but unlike others that Ye Xiwen had seen and beheaded so far, this one possessed nobleqi, and just from a nce, Ye Xiwen understood that this young Asura devil belonged to the noble ss of Asura n. Ye Xiwen felt a bit ufortable when he sensed the breath of this young Asura devil, because until now, he never felt such a formidable breath from an Asura, and even the Asura devil of Xiantian eighth stage, with whom Ye Xiwen had to struggle a bit, few days ago, was not a match for this young Asura. This young Asura devil¡¯s cultivation was not very high, but his strength was certainly very high, and even if he had not yet entered into the Xiantian ninth stage, but perhaps was also not far away from attaining it. ¡°Fallen, the Asura have really fallen!¡± Ye Mo appeared on the top of Ye Xiwen¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Although Asura race and Great Asura race are quite simr, but the two sides never allowed interracial marriages since the ancient times. Asura are considered as ordinary civilians but the Great Asura are actually counted among the nobility in the Devil world. The rules of Asura n strictly prohibit interracial marriages between members of Asura n and Great Asura n, and there has been no example of such for thousands of years, but who would have thought that one would actually appear here.¡± ¡°You mean he is a hybrid?¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Yes, the Asura blood seems to run quite strongly in his body, he should be second generation of hybrid Asura race.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°It is quite impossible for most Asura devils to possess nobleqi and that¡¯s why, they have been ves of Great Asura n for generations after generations. Also, a Great Asura devil child is already in the truth realm from birth, however that is not the case with the hybrids of the two races, so it¡¯s good news for you that this young Asura is not a genuine Great Asura, otherwise, you will die miserably.¡± ¡°Human, I am paying attention to you for a long time!¡± That young Asura said, he couldn¡¯t sense the presence of Ye Mo, because if Ye Mo desired then only Ye Xiwen could see it while others couldn¡¯t. The young Asura devil grasped his hand and grabbed a stick from the void. This stick¡¯s whole body was ck in color and was actually the legendary Asura stick. Generally Asura devils used their own bodies as weapons, but there were also others who did not like to use their own bodies as weapons and preferred to use Asura stick, which was a giant mighty weapon, and once brandished, it could caused the heavens to fall and ground to rend. ¡°You insolent human, actually dared to strike the people of this young lord¡¯s territory, today you will have to wash away your sins with your own blood!¡± The young Asura devil said in a loud voice. ¡°I see that you are a strong master, so if youmit suicide then I¡¯ll leave your entire corpse intact and won¡¯t feed it to those lowly demon beasts!¡± ¡°You think you are capable enough to force me tomit suicide?¡± A smile appeared on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, ¡°You are just a hybrid.¡± In his previous life, interracial breeding was very popr on Earth, but that was not the case here, because in Zhen Wu Jie, the act of interracial breeding and giving birth to hybrids often meant tragedy. The general thought process in this world didn¡¯t ept it, because ording to the people of this world, pure blood meant more strength and purity. ¡°Human, you are courting death. I will extract your spirit and bake it in fire till you are frightened out of your wits!¡± The young Asura devil finally could not maintain his calm because Ye Xiwen had poked his sore spot. Right after hearing the words of Ye Xiwen, immediately, a fierce and grim look appeared on his face and he shouted crazily. He would never be able to forget the pain of being a hybrid and because this stain will forever stay on his existence, although thanks to being a hybrid, he received more strengthpared to other Asura devils, but at the same time, his strength was far worse than the genuine Great Asura n. In fact, his current strength was even less than the new born babies of Great Asura n, and this inferiorityplex had deeply rooted itself in his heart, causing him to possess very low self-esteem. The young Asura obviously hated Ye Xiwen from the depth of his heart, otherwise he would never have said such words, because torturing the opposite party was several folds worse and brutalpared to killing them. He would not talk about torturing Ye Xiwen if he didn¡¯t bear a bitter hatred for him. ¡°You humans are really nasty and hateful, you actually treat our Asura n as test subjects in this small dimension, and do you think that our Asura n doesn¡¯t know how to fight back? My father has already takenmand of the Asura n and under his leadership, we willpletely annihte you abominable human beings, we have also united the other devil ns, and together, we will defeat you humans and make this small world dominate your world!¡± The young Asura sneered again and again, ¡°But first, I¡¯ll kill you and gain merit, after that, I willmand a side army in the future!¡± Although the founder of Yi Yuan School had captured Mosha territory but he had not destroyed the devils still living in this small world, rather he decided to use these devils as test subjects to give battle experience to his disciples. However since then, the devil race of this small world had constantly tried to counter-attack on Zhen Wu Jie, while using Yi Yuan School as a springboard to dominate the whole world. ¡°Even though you are nothing but a waste, your courage is quite impressive.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°But you must know that you have been held captives in this small world by the founder of our Yi Yuan School, in order to give experience to the disciples of Yi Yuan School, you are no different than a pig, ready to be ughtered anytime, but you still want to counterattack? You are really courting death!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you who is courting death!¡± The young Asura devil suddenly got furious, because Ye Xiwen¡¯s attitude suddenly and thoroughly angered him. The ck giant stick danced in his hand, while the entire space began to fluctuate producing a wild and loud shrieking sound. This Asura stick was also called mourning staff, and ording to the rumors, under the nineyers ofhend, there was Fengdu hell, and after a human died, his soul entered the hell to face the trial for his sins, while the messengers of legendary hell used mourning staff to punish them. It was said that the so-called Asura stick was actually an imitation of mourning staff itself, though the source of this rumor was quite remote in the past. When Ye Mo had described about Asura race to Ye Xiwen, it had also mentioned about this horrifying legend to him. The legend of hell was same in all worlds, maybe some hearsays were slightly different, but roughly the same. In Ye Xiwen¡¯s previous life on the Earth, he had also heard about the legendary hell on earth, and even in Zhen Wu Jie, there was also a legend of hell. However the legends would always be legends, no one knew whether the legendary hell actually existed or not, after all, even the formidable emperor ranked figures could not reverse death toe back and confirm the existence of the legendary hell. ording to what Ye Mo informed Ye Xiwen, throughout the entire heaven and earth, the God was responsible for governing the world of the living and Yama, King of hell, was in charge of governing the world of the dead. However, this was just a hearsay that seemed to have spread countless years ago, and even after so many years had already passed, it still seemed to spread. Even the previous master of Ye Mo was never able to confirm the existence of the legendary hell. He had rummaged through numerous books and shuttled back and forth through many worlds, but still couldn¡¯t discover the existence of hell, as if it existed only in legends. When Ye Xiwen heard about this, he almost felt intimidated from this previous master of Ye Mo, the legendary Devil King was definitely a madman. He actually wanted to lead an expedition from Devil world to the legendary hell, in order to include hell under the control of Devil world. This Devil King was absolutely a lunatic, he was confident of his own strength to the point of thinking that he was invincible, and actually led an expedition to ten thousand worlds, because rather than being the sovereign king of Devil world, he wanted to be the ruler of ten thousand worlds, in order to be the most distinguished in under the sun. Regarding the Asura stick of Asura n, it was said that many years ago, the founder of Asura n once fought with a supreme master in hell, and the battle was disastrous, and after the battle was over, the founder of Asura n used the other party¡¯s mourning staff as a basis to create an Asura stick and made it more suitable for Asura n. This Asura stick was the only kind of weapon used by Asura n who were famous for using their invincible bodies as weapons. ording to Ye Mo, when the Asura devil king fought with that supreme master, he suffered a loss just because he was using his own Great Asura body as weapon, so he decided to imitate the mourning staff and created an Asura stick. Although it was only an imitation, but these things happened so long ago that no one could guess their origin, and except Ye Mo, an old monster type extraordinary character, no one knew about this secret. To the present, even the devils of Asura race thought that Asura stick was actually an invention of their own ancestors and had been passed down to them generation after generation. Under the influence of Asura stick, suddenly, the world changed its color, and also produced a shrieking and wild howling sound, which seemed very sad and shrill, enough to scare a timid person to death. Asura stick was struck horizontally and instantly rushed in front of Ye Xiwen and it seemed as if it would pound on his head and burst his brains, moreover the most frightening thing was that Ye Xiwen actually felt as if his own body was being suppressed, and it was like his soul was being sucked out of his. The mourning staff was used by the messengers of hell themselves and its functions were to call the soul of deceased and manage these souls in hell. Even the great Asura devil king was unable to escape from the frightening effects of mourning staff, while Asura stick was an imitation of mourning staff itself, so it naturally had the properties of mourning staff. Chapter 145 – Successive breakthroughs Chapter 145 ¨C Sessive breakthroughs At that moment, Ye Xiwen had a feeling that his soul was being sucked out of his body, whichpletely left him in a trace like state, but in a sh, Asura stick suddenly arrived in front of him, and if it was plugged directly into his head then his brains would definitely burst out. The strength of a master at the peak Xiantian eighth stagepletely released out and created ripples in the space. Then, suddenly, the intermittent waves of fluctuating blood-red light instantly released out of the Tianyuan mirror inside the body of Ye Xiwen. The might of these scarlet fluctuating light waves was just like that of an emperor, which immediately made that young Asura devil to have an impulse to prostrate on the ground, and this feeling deeply immersed in it bones, it a feeling to prostrate in front of the ruler of ten thousand worlds, making him realize that he was actually a ve, looking at its master, and this feeling caused an unusual difort in his heart. The young Asura devil actually hesitated for a moment, after all, he was of noble descent of Asura n, one of eight royal ns of Devil world, then how could he have such a humiliating feeling of being a ve, and this feeling had also permeated deep in his bone marrow, he was confused, just what was happening to him. Taking advantage of this time, Ye Xiwen recovered and instantly pulled out a long de then fiercely chopped out towards the young Asura. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying st wave instantly spread and engulfed the surrounding area, while at this time, Ye Xiwen continually retreated a few steps. A cruel expression appeared on the face of that Asura as he took advantage of this opportunity to attack Ye Xiwen. ¡°Stop, you lowly hybrid Asura, don¡¯t tell me you actually think of attacking the great Devil King and ruler of ten thousand worlds?¡± And this time, Ye Mo suddenly appeared and shouted loudly, which immediately shook the spirit of that Asura devil, and forced him to kneel down on the ground, because he felt that he was not eligible to stand in front of such a great figure. Taking advantage of the pause of that Asura devil, Ye Xiwen regrouped the Zhen Yuan to prepare for his next attack, and once again chopped out a terrifying delight towards the Asura devil. The delight severely struck into the huge body of the Asura devil, and since his body was also pressed down by the blood-red light, so he did not have the means to disy his full strength. This made him confused and abnormally aggrieved, because looking at his own strength, he knew that he possessed strength close to the masters of Xiantian ninth stage, but now, he could only disy the strength of below Xiantian seventh stage, and this was all because of this damn human. This was actually a spiritual shackle, a very horrifying spiritual coercion. He had heard about some of the mythical figures in the legends of his n, and this coercion could be achieved by anyone regardless of the race, which was quite bizarre because it required for the person to achieve a certain level, and he was just unable to think that a human was able to reach this level and was also using spiritual shakle on him. So now, the young Asura knew perfectly well that this human was very frightening and relying just on his own strength, he did not stand a chance against him. The young Asura devil tried his best to resist, but in a sh, the terrifying peerless might ruptured in his body! ¡°Pu!¡± The young Asura suddenly spouted a mouthful of blood and then suddenly rushed all the way back to escape from the attacks of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss!¡± Immediately, Ye Xiwen shot his palm and a Coiling Dragon instantly congealed, roared loudly and the whole atmosphere slightly changed under the imposing noble aura of this dragon, while its long body disappeared into a streamer and instantly rushed towards the young Asura devil. ¡°Smack!¡± The young Asura firmly kept his one foot on the ground and stood firmly while his Asura stick was instantly knocked down. ¡°Boom!¡± The entire space vibrated and intense energy shock waves instantly spread in the surrounding area. The huge body of Asura devil instantly flew upside down and he spouted mouthful of blood. He was cursing this human in his heart and was very much aggrieved, after all, he was obviously much stronger than this human but was stillpletely suppressed by him to death, this feeling really made him quite depressed. He was at the peak of Xiantian eighth stage and was only a small step away from entering into the Xiantian ninth stage, and after that, he could be a major Asura existence, but he was still unable to defeat a mere human. He just couldn¡¯t ept this! The young Asura devil was very unwilling, but Ye Xiwen¡¯s offensives continued to rumble in his body and he almost could not resist this time, because his body was suppressed by a terrifying coercion and he could hardly resist. It seemed like today, he encountered his natural predator!. It was just like meeting his life¡¯s owner. Atst, he could no longer resist and was directly split in half by Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de, and the Jingqi continuously transferred from his whole body into the body of Ye Xiwen, and at this point, Ye Xiwen felt that his own inner state barrier had finally begun to loosen up. Ye Xiwen sat on the ground and began to prepare for a breakthrough. This was going to be a very important breakthrough for him. The Jingqi of a master at the peak of Xiantian eighth stage was very huge and was also enough to support Ye Xiwen in having aplete breakthrough. At this time, above Ye Xiwen¡¯s head, the Tianyuan mirror started spinning around and the blood-red light released from its surface formed a red curtain of light around Ye Xiwen¡¯s body in order to protect him while he was having the breakthrough. Ye Xiwen felt that the Zhen Yuan began to roll and boil up within his body, and the enormous strength of these forces, boiling up inside his body, caused his hair to fly upwards, while his own vitality surged up along with his inner strength. Only in a moment, his breath instantly had a breakthrough, and under the driving force of Zhen Yuan, the inner realm of Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation finally copsed, and he finally stepped from Xiantian fourth stage straight into the Xiantian fifth stage. However, there was not the slightest sign of exhaustion of Jingqi in Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. The Jingqi of a master at the peak of Xiantian eighth stage was veryrge in amount and truly vigorous, and it not only helped him in having a breakthrough from Xiantian fourth stage to fifth stage, it also continued to push him towards the peak of the Xiantian fifth stage. Under the nourishment of this massive Jingqi, soon, Ye Xiwen sessfully and smoothly reached the peak of Xiantian fifth stage. But, after breaking through to the peak of Xiantian fifth stage, Ye Xiwen did not stop and immediately took out a Hehe Dan and swallowed it down. The essence of Hehe Dan surged out from the drug and started flowing into his limbs and bones, allowing his inner realm, which seemed to have consolidated a moment ago, to have signs of yet another breakthrough. As far as the biggest obstacle between Xiantian fifth stage and Xiantian sixth stage was concerned, it was actually the conversion phase of Zhen Qi into Zhen Yuan, but Ye Xiwen had already cleared this phase bypletely transforming Zhen Yuan in his body, so for him, this stage was simply not an obstacle anymore. By relying on the promotive effects of Hehe Dan, Ye Xiwen once again had a breakthrough and directly stepped into the Xiantian sixth stage. ¡°Boom!¡± An incredible imposing aura erupted from his body and he opened his eyes all of a sudden! (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Even I was surprised at this rtively small chapter. So I checked up to chapter 200 and saw that all the chapters after this one are huge as usual. Author has sneaked in a small chapter to y with my feelings, no relief for a novice like me ha ha) Chapter 146 – Xiantian seventh peak Chapter 146 ¨C Xiantian seventh peak Ye Xiwen¡¯s imposing aura rose dramatically and his cultivation level soared at terrifying speed and rushed all the way to the Xiantian sixth stage, but Ye Xiwen did not stop and immediately took out a bright red fruit from his storage ring, it was the Blood Yuan fruit. ¡°This is a pretty good thing, but it is best to wait and use it when you break through from the Xiantian eighth stage to the Xiantian ninth stage, it will save you a considerablyrge amount of painstaking effort at that time.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you are taking it now.¡± ¡°I know that its effects would certainly be biggest if I take it at the time of breaking from Xiantian eight stage, but I cannot wait for that time, because Luo Yifan¡¯sckeys are certainly looking for my whereabouts, and although this Mosha territory is quite big, but they will find me sooner orter.¡± Ye Xiwen said,¡± Before they find me, I must enhance my strength to such a state that I can protect myself.¡± At present, when Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation broke through to enter into the Xiantian fifth stage, andter to the Xiantian sixth stage, his fighting strength also skyrocketed to a great extent. Initially, he was able to easily defeat the masters of Xiantian sixth stage and could contend with ordinary masters of Xiantian seventh stage, but now, after sessive breakthroughs, his fighting strength had definitely beparable to a master of Xiantian ninth stage. However this was not enough, because this time, in addition to inner seed disciples, even the seeds among the core disciples hade to Mosha territory. And almost all of these seed core disciples were already in the Xiantian Great realm, and even the weakest among them was at the peak of Xiantian ninth stage. Although, all of these seed core disciples might not be hostile to Ye Xiwen, but as long as there was even one or two, for Ye Xiwen, that would be fatal. (NT: Just like Xiantian Small/Xiao is a realm right above Xiantian fifth peak, Xiantian Great/Da is a realm just above Xiantian ninth peak) At his current cultivation, he could at mostpete with the ordinary master of Xiantian ninth stage, but he still wasn¡¯t a match for the masters at the peak of Xiantian ninth stage and Xiantian Great realm, and while facing them, it would only be a dead end for him. Ye Xiwen must enhance his cultivation level once again and step into the next stage. After consuming Blood Yuan fruit, his fighting strength would increase once again to a new level, enough to sweep away even the core disciples of Xiantian Great realm. At that time, if Luo Yifan personally didn¡¯te into action, then no one else would be Ye Xiwen¡¯s opponent, and then, he would only need to avoid just one person, Luo Yifan, because as far as other people were concerned, he certainly didn¡¯t care, and it would naturally be simple to escape from just one man! ¡°Indeed!¡± Ye Mo nodded and was very much satisfied in his heart from the decisive attitude of Ye Xiwen. A lot of people would have stayed confused and stuck, unable to choose between long-term interests and immediate interests, as this was really a difficult choice and could have blinded them, making them unable to make the right decision. However, if thought with calm mind, if they were dead then there would be no future left to fulfill the long-term interests , the truth was so simple, but not many people could have reached such a decision, and so quickly, like Ye Xiwen. ¡°Hmmm, this time, I must make that Luo Yifan understand the pain of losing his dear ones.¡± Ye Xiwen smiled in a strange manner. This time, during the seed disciplepetition, inner disciples failed to pose a threat to Ye Xiwen, and now, Ye Xiwen was the chief inner seed disciples himself, and Luo Yifan obviously knew about this so he should have chosen core disciples to do the job, and not just ordinary core disciples, the ones who came to Mosha territory were elites among the elites, almost all of them were in the Xiantian Great realm. Some core disciples were at Xiantian ninth peak, but their strength was also almostparable to that of the core disciples of Xiantian Great realm. The masters of this level could set foot in the truth realm at any time, and the ambitious ones would want to create their own factions, which would ultimately go down in the history, or evenpete for the leading position in the sect. Unless they had already joined someone else¡¯s faction a long time ago, or else at this level, very few would go to join someone else¡¯s faction, because at this level of strength, even on their own, they could easily create a strong enough faction in Yi Yuan School, then why would they beckeys of someone else. (NT: Be prepared to read the entire paragraph below in one shot, I didn¡¯t feel like putting full stops! Why? Well......I want you all to go through the same pain I did while tranting it? Not really, I leave the real reason to your imagination. Expecting various theories in thement section :P) Therefore, Luo Yifan should have worked hard and put a lot of effort and energy in cultivating these seed level core disciples, as they were not the same as those inner disciples, because if the case of inner disciples was considered, on the ranking list of inner seed disciples, almost every year, arge number of inner disciples would step into the Xiantian sixth stage, thereby departing from this list, but when the ranking list of core disciples was taken into consideration, it would take several years for someone to leave that list, because for many people, it could be said that promotion from the Xiantian fifth stage to Xiantian sixth stage wasparatively simple, especially whenpared to the promotion from Xiantian Great realm to the truth realm, and this was just because the breakthrough to the truth realm was not a simple matter, which was obvious from the fact that there were more than one hundred seed core disciples, and not even one was able to enter into the truth realm in the past 3 or 4 years, and since no one was going up and it was natural that nobody had left this list, so it was also normal if this list did not change for several years, in fact, it happened before when the list didn¡¯t change for over a decade because no one was able to break into the truth realm, and this was the reason why the list generally changed only when these seed core disciples got older and eventually had to leave the sect, because, after reaching the age of one hundred and fifty years, their blood began to decline, their strengths also declined, and some people were often kicked outside the seed core disciples rankings list, while others would take the initiative to leave on their own ord, then they would go and be elders or ancestors of the sub-schools, however their decision was understandable, because after reaching the age of more than one hundred and fifty years, it was very difficult to have a breakthrough and enter into the truth realm, and some of them also realized that they didn¡¯t have the talent to achieve the truth realm, so it was pointless to stay in the sect. So, if Ye Xiwen killed several core disciple subordinates of Luo Yifan then that wouldpletely cut off Luo Yifan¡¯s influence, which was enough to make him feel the pain of losing dear ones. Ye Xiwen immediately started eating the Blood Yuan fruit, and after taking full dose of bright red Blood Yuan fruit, the essence of the fruit quickly turned into a heat flow and started circting throughout his body. His inner realm, that had already consolidated a moment ago at the Xiantian sixth stage, began to loosen up again, andpared to Hehe Dan, the efficacy of Blood Yuan fruit was much more overbearing and it instantly filled his entire body with intense heat, hisplexion started to turn red, and if someone looked at him from afar, he would simply look like a blood-red person. Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xiwen quickly mobilized Zhen Yuan in his body and began to hastily digest and assimte the essence of Blood Yuan fruit within his body. The efficacy of the fruit started melting and assimting in his body, while Ye Xiwen also started practicing ¡°Tyrant body technique¡± as he was crazily absorbing this efficacy in his body. An intermittent burst of crackling sounds transmitted from his body, just like the firecrackers show on a new year, as his body continued to absorb the drug, it also started to transform simultaneously. The spirit stones also began to frantically burn inside his storage ring, while inside the mysterious space in his mind, the Dacheng realm of secondyer of ¡°Tyrants body technique¡± had already started to revolve frantically, and the thirdyer finally began to take shape and revealed itsplete appearance to Ye Xiwen. A total of 1000 spirit stones were burned at a crazily fast speed, only Ye Xiwen was capable of crazily burning so many spirit stones at such a fast speed. And when such arge number of spirit stones were burned, Ye Xiwen was able topletely estimate the thirdyer of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, and by taking advantage of sprit stones and strength of Blood Yuan fruit, he also managed to have a breakthrough to the thirdyer of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±. Ye Xiwen¡¯s imposing aura continued to break through from Xiantian sixth stage to intermediate Xiantian sixth stage, then from intermediate Xiantian sixth stage tote Xiantian sixth stage, Xiantian sixth peak, Xiantian seventh stage, intermediate Xiantian seventh stage,te Xiantian seventh stage, and finally to Xiantian seventh peak! Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation madly rushed all the way to the peak of Xiantian seventh stage then finally stopped. He was also able to gain the highest level of knowledge about the thirdyer of ¡°Tyrant body technique¡±, just like he had achieved the highest knowledge of ¡°Divine Dragon flings its Tail¡±, which also increased his might far more than before. Ye Xiwen had Tianyuan mirror to cover up all the fluctuations of his breath, otherwise such big movements apanied with his breakthroughs would have attracted many devils, but now that he had Tianyuan mirror, he simply was not afraid because Tianyuan mirror was the nemesis of those devils and even when facing truth level devils, as long as it was not a peerless devil like that great devil leader who had fought with Qi Feifan, using the restraining effect of Tianyuan mirror on the devils, even if it was a truth level devil, Ye Xiwen was confident to take them on. And as far as other devils below truth level were considered, he simply didn¡¯t consider them as his opponents. After reaching the peak of Xiantian seventh peak, his fighting strength simply skyrocketed, and now, even masters of Xiantian Great realm were not his match anymore. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Xiwen got up and said. He stayed in this ce for a whole day and night, but this time, the breakthrough didn¡¯t take too long thanks to Blood Yuan fruit and Hehe Dan. Ye Xiwen used celestial step and rushed towards the depths of Mosha territory, and it seemed as if he was taking a stroll in a rxed manner, however his form flickered, and in the short time, he simply vanished in the line of sight..... Far away, an army of over a thousand great devils, under the leadership of a formidable great devil, was advancing towards a team of several disciples of Yi Yuan School. Their loud battle cries could be heard from far away and sand was billowing from their advancement, while their loud roars were heart-shaking. ¡°Great devil army!¡± Above a mountain peak, Ye Xiwen used his torch like vision and saw that this army was actuallyposed of great devils and each of them were at least at Xiantian fifth stage and above which was extremely frightening. Perhaps, except the Royal Blood Guards of Great Yue State¡¯s royal n, no other army couldst in front of this great devil army! This is the first time that Ye Xiwen had seen a regr army of devils, because the cases were entirely different in Mosha territory and Huanmo territory. Earlier, in the Huanmo territory, the Huanmo devils had been caught and locked up inside by the founder of Yi Yuan School, so they never really had their own heritage, so they couldn¡¯t bepared with the devils of Mosha territory. This regr army was simply a nightmare for the idle warriors who weren¡¯t experienced in army battles! The existence of this army exined that there was a possibility of a kingdom of devil race in the depths of Mosha territory, perhaps also more than one, so earlier, what that young Asura said about this ce being his territory was true, then there should be a kingdom of Asura n. This great devil army was different from that gitious great devil that Ye Xiwen had beheaded earlier, although they seemed equally gitious and brutal, but a lot more disciplined and experienced, and it was obvious that this great devil army had been drilled for a long time and possessed huge battle experience. Ye Xiwen looked again and saw a slender figure that seemed exceptionally familiar among the besieged disciples of Yi Yuan School, it was Hua Menghan! (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- (NT: I title this chapter as¨C> the chapter which destroyed a grand release single-handedly lol) Chapter 147 – Rescue Chapter 147 ¨C Rescue Indeed, it was really Hua Menghan. Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes because he did not expect to see Hua Menghan, and he quickly realized that Hua Menghan actually turned out to be a seed level core disciple. No wonder she had so much face and was able to mediate between Qian Yu faction and senior factions by sending Jing Yannan. These days, one thing after another came up and Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have time to express his gratitude to her, but now, he unexpectedly met her here, in Mosha territory. Besides Hua Menghan, Ye Xiwen also saw a few familiar people whom he had already met before and they were none other than Hu Yanghang and Jing Yannan. It was not a surprise that they were also seed level core disciples, and in addition to the two of them, there was a beautiful girl, who appeared to be of same age as Hua Menghan, in a bright long skirt, her posture was swaying as the sword was dancing in her hand, and each time her sword moved, a great devil was beheaded. There was also a grandiose man among them, his broadsword was dancing and giving rise to fierce winds, and these devils simply had no way toe close to his body. At this time, although they had been besieged by the great devil army, but the situation was not really too dangerous, after all, all these five masters were considered elites among the elites, and each one of them possessed outstanding strength, far more than the core disciples at the same cultivation level, not to mention, even if these great devils were gitious and iparably brutal, and possessed high cultivation levels, but they were still considered as cannon fodder level existence in the devil race and very few of them had practiced power techniques, and many of which were crude techniques, so it was certain that they were not the opponents of Hua Menghan and other seed level core disciples. There was a difference of heaven and earth between the two sides when martial arts practice was taken into consideration. This was the difference between the elites and the masses, however, if the two sides were to fight a prolonged battle then the strength of Hua Menghan and the others would soon be consumed, because in this situation, the bigger army implied greater might even if the great devils were not elites, because the size of army could be increased but the fighting strength of these elites couldn¡¯t be enhanced. However, after the great devilmander joined the battle, Hua Menghan and other core disciples soon fell under the wind. He was obviously stronger than the master of Xiantian Great realm and should have entered half a step into the truth realm. And just by having the strength equivalent to a master of half-step truth level, this great devilmander was dominating on these five core seed disciples who were apparently all in the Xiantian Great realm. It was obvious that theirbined strength was also inferior to the strength of great devilmander, causing them to suddenly fall under the wind. When Ye Xiwen saw the great devilmander, suddenly, his blood started to boil up. This great devilmander was a half-step truth level existence, and looking at Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength, great devilmander was truly his opponent, because right now, although Ye Xiwen was at the peak of Xiantian seventh stage, but his fighting strength was equivalent to a master of half-step truth realm, which was far more than the strength of Xiantian great realm masters. In short, this great devilmander was the best opponent for him. ¡°This great devilmander should prove the best opponent at my current strength.¡± Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Wait here and control the Tianyuan mirror, do not let it release its restraining powers, I want to test my true strength.¡± If Tianyuan mirror released its suppression, then perhaps, the great devilmander would quickly die at the hands of Ye Xiwen. And right now, this wasn¡¯t Ye Xiwen¡¯s main goal! ¡°No problem.¡± Ye Mo said. Although he would often help Ye Xiwen in suppressing those devils so Ye Xiwen could easily behead them, but that was only a means to help in his fast growth. ¡°Everybody, withstand for a little longer, I have sent a distress signal, and soon, someone shoulde to our rescue!¡± Jing Yannan eximed to raise the morale of other five disciples, but they were fighting silently, because they were elites and understood to keep their minds calm and focused. Especially, Hua Menghan and the grandiose man with broadsword were coborating to fight the great devilmander, but they were feeling enormous pressure and horrifying strength of a half-step true master, and it could be said that to a certain extent, he already possessed some of the strength of a truth level master. Even if two people were together fighting with him, they weren¡¯t the slightest rxed. It was obvious that great devilmander was more familiar with the art of war, and at this time, this was also making them feel distressed and powerless in front of him. Then, suddenly, a long and loud howling sound came from far away, and it gradually came closer and closer, moreover, it was so fast that in a blink of an eye, it arrived at the scene, and one could guess the insane speed of the approaching person just from hearing the howling sound, which was simply like the lightning that arrived in the vicinity in a sh. Suddenly, a sh instantly crashed into the great devil army, and even this drilled and experienced great devil army was simply not the match of this delight which simply pierced through them, copsing one after another, and the weak great devils that came in the range of this attack instantly died or got severely wounded. ¡°Who is that?¡± Great devilmander suddenly roared then immediately stopped fighting with Hua Menghan and the grandiose man, because in his heart, these humans did not pose a threat to him, and under his army¡¯s encirclement, these damn lowly humans would eventually have to die. The delight crossed through the great devil army and immediately and fiercely rushed toward the great devilmander. ¡°Boom!¡± A huge explosion urred and a mushroom cloud appeared on the spot. This was now the battle between two half-step true masters, although they only possessed a part of the total strength of a true master, but masters of Xiantian Great realm weren¡¯t capable of producing such an atomic bomb like explosion, and it was simply impossible for masters of Xiantian ninth peak. The sh of light dissipated and revealed the silhouette of a figure. When Hua Menghan saw this figure, a surprised look immediately appeared on her face, because that person was none other than Ye Xiwen. She never thought that in such a short amount of time, Ye Xiwen would actually be so formidable. She remembered that the first time she saw him, he was just at the Houtian realm, and at that time, she felt grateful to him for saving her life, but she thought that it would end at this, after all, he was only a Houtian realm warrior, and even if he managed to step into the Xiantian realm in the future, it was still most unlikely that they would ever intersect each other¡¯s path in this lifetime. However, all of this changed in less than one year, when Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had a rapid development, and when she saw him again, he was already a master of the Xiantian realm and was also considered the leader of younger generation of his sub-school, andter, he also became the leader of new disciples. The second time, she heard about him when Qian Yu faction was in trouble, and at that time, she used her influence to buy some time for Qian Yu faction, but she did not hold any hope for them to win. She just wanted to do something to help Ye Xiwen, but not on a grand scale, otherwise it could lead to him bing an eye-sore in the eyes of a lot of people. But, she did not expect that he would actually win the battle against Mo Han and lead to the smooth establishment of Qian Yu faction, but she again received news about Ye Xiwen bing the chief inner seed disciple, moreover this time, it was a recognition that could not be questioned or argued upon by anyone. Although, now, he was merely the chief inner seed disciple, but in a major sect like Yi Yuan School, bing a chief was like a seat of honor, because even if he was only the chief of inner disciples, but this status could only be obtained by one in a million disciples and required both talent and formidable strength. This should be the third time she saw Ye Xiwen, but now, he was no longer that skinny teenager whom she met the first time, and had actually grown up into a fine youth. The youth who once saved her life had just now rushed straight into the great devil army, and not just that, he went straight for the great devilmander, an existence that she and other masters couldn¡¯t take on together. This rapid transformation was simply unbelievable. The one who was more baffled than Hua Menghan was actually Hu Yanghang. He certainly remembered Ye Xiwen, but in his memory, Ye Xiwen was simply nothing and could only be regarded as a little guy, a nasty bug, and for him, so long as he wanted, crushing a petty bug like Ye Xiwen was very convenient, but now, he couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when he saw that a bug like Ye Xiwen had actually grown so formidable. Immediately, a strong killing intent boiled up in his heart! An astonished look appeared on the face of Jing Yannan when he looked at the formidable figure of Ye Xiwen. In such a short time, the young boy, who, at that time, had especiallye forward to greet him, actually turned into such a fierce master? He was now sure that he was not wrong about Ye Xiwen¡¯s future growth! Dark-green clothes, that long de and a proud demeanor! In the end, just what kind of experience did he go through that caused his cultivation to increase to such outrageous proportions. Everyone was astonished at the sudden arrival of Ye Xiwen, but he didn¡¯t care and directly engaged in fighting with the great devilmander. ¡°Damn you, you lowly human, you dare to treat out great devil race as hunting objects, you are courting death!¡± The great devilmander shouted in an angry voice and his words seemed like they were thundering again and again, while an endless amount of moqi emerged out of the giant spear in his hands and instantly filled the entire surrounding space, ¡°Devil sweeps the universe!¡± The endless amount of moqi transformed into countless spears made up of Spearqi, and seemed like hiding the sky and covering the earth, and swept straight towards Ye Xiwen. (NT: zh¨¥ ti¨¡n b¨¬ r¨¬ = hiding the sky and covering the earth (idiom); earth-shattering) The long de shed in the hand of Ye Xiwen and a bright delight was instantly chopped out, disying the creative concept of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de skill, and it seemed as if a diagram of a round bright moon was descending and suppressing towards the great devilmander. Suddenly, along with a dazzling re, deqi severely collided with the several spears, and energy waves spread in all directions like mighty ocean waves andpletely swept away some of the great devil soldiers. In the frenzy of raging energy waves, these great devils simply turned into flying ashes. At that moment, standing in front of Ye Xiwen, the great devilmander felt a strange feeling from Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, which suddenly increased his palpitations, although this feeling was very mild, but it made him feel very unpleasant, as if he was standing in front of sovereign king. However at this time, he had no time to think about why was he getting such a feeling and suddenly shouted: ¡°Damn human, go to hell!¡± ¡°Devil splits the vast sky!¡± The giant spear danced in his hands and a terrifying Spearqi spread in the sky, and it seemed as if it waspletely splitting the atmosphere, and this sight was quite overwhelming. (To be continued) (NT: IMPORTANT EXPLANATION about Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength before you read future chapters, especially for those who are raising doubts in various forums about Ye Xiwen¡¯s apparently unexined OPness! Raise these doubts here, I would dly exin, it¡¯s my duty as MGS¡¯s current and only trantor. Ye Xiwen is an anomaly who is only at the peak of Xiantian seventh peak in this chapter, but he possesses energy equivalent to the masters of half-step truth realm because he started amassing energy in advance from the time when he saved Hua Menghan and got insights about transforming higher level forms of energy even though his body (inner realm) was at lower level, all thanks to the ¡®Mysterious space¡¯. But you must be thinking, he is at a lower realm so how can he fight with masters two or sometimes three levels above him? That¡¯s because only his body (inner realm) is at lower level, the energy content (energy quality and energy quantity) in his body is equivalent to the masters of higher levels. But that should explode his body right? Don¡¯t forget he has practiced Tyrant body technique, which turned his body into that of an ancient Tyrant. So, his body is so strong and tough that it can contain higher level energy and inrger amounts. Basically, thanks to Tyrant body technique, even if his body is at Xiantian seventh peak, but its strength and toughness = bodies of the masters of half-step truth realm. This is the reason why in thest chapter, Ye Xiwen also practiced the ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯ to thirdyer to increase the toughness of his body in order to sustain and contain half-step truth level energy. He is OP because of ¡®mysterious space¡¯ and ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯. More doubts? Ask!!!) ¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 148 – Great devil commander beheaded Chapter 148 ¨C Great devilmander beheaded ¡°Devil splits the vast sky!¡± The giant spear danced in his hands and a terrifying Spearqi spread in the sky and it seemed as if it waspletely splitting the atmosphere and blotting the sky, this sight was quite overwhelming. This Spearqi was iparably terrifying and produced a sharp piercing sound, as if all other sounds hadpletely vanished from the atmosphere, leaving only the dreadful sound of spears rushing through the sky. (NT: Unparalleled = Iparable) ¡°Full moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted, and suddenly, his appearance looked like the lightning itself, and using just his arm, he instantly chopped out deqi which instantly turned into a diagram of a full moon and pressed down from above just like the Mount Tai. Theyer uponyer of terrifying Spearqi rushed prating through the space and instantly stabbed into the diagram of full moon. The full moon suddenly exuded endless amount of moonlight and immediately flushed into the Spearqi, which waspletely obliterated by the enormous might of bright moonlight. This was no moonlight! It was actually Ye Xiwen¡¯s frightening deqi. He had managed to move one step further and integrated the creative concept with his deqi, and as far as his opponents were concerned, this attack was simply like a road roller like existence. Compared with Ye Xiwen¡¯s former pure creative concept, the might of this attack was simple unimaginable and it was hard to determine how much stronger it had actually be. Afterpletely obliterating the Spearqi, Ye Xiwen did not stop and took out his long de and instantly chopped out a terrifying deqi. The deqi instantly rushed towards the great devilmander and it seemed as if it was tearing the sky of Mosha territory and would split him into two halves any moment. ¡°Lowly human!¡± The great devilmander shouted, and his voice resounded like a loud explosion, and giant spear in the hands instantly sketched the outline of devilish sun in the void which then released dark and horrifying rays of light towards the deqi of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Boom!¡± Layer uponyer of shock waves swept across in all directions when the spear attack shed maliciously against the de attack of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Both of them felt a wave of horrifyingly massive strength from the sh of their attacks and withdrew several steps back, leaving deep footprints on the ground. On the side of Ye Xiwen, when a group of great devils saw that Ye Xiwen had been repulsed, they thought to take advantage of this opportunity and immediately advanced towards him while shrieking strangely, as if to rip him to shreds. Ye Xiwen waved the long de and a huge delight swept out which rushed towards several great devils and instantly chopped them into two halves, while some of them instantly turned into minced meat. ¡°Abominable human!¡± When great devilmander saw that several of his devil men were instantly killed by Ye Xiwen, he suddenly roared out of anger and frustration. This was a deadly duel, not just between two masters, but between two sides, because the oue of this duel affected the situation of both sides. After all, the survival of the team of Yi Yuan School¡¯s seed core disciples or the great devil army depended on this duel. One was themander of great devil army and his cultivation level was at the half-step truth level, which was almost equivalent to that of true masters. The other one was a fortuitous master, looking for adventure but his fighting strength was alsoparable to that of the masters of half-step truth realm. The collision between the two sides was destined to cause the heaven to fall and earth to shatter! The giant spear violently danced in the hands of great devilmander, and produced sad and shrill howling sound, like the frightening shrieks and pitiful screams of devils. These pitiful screams belonged to the dead and were quite terrifying, filled with the lingering resentments of dead, and these resentments were attached at the tip of the spear, and as a result of this, the might of the spear didn¡¯t decrease, on the contrary, because of these screams and curses of the dead, the overall might of the spear increased by multiple folds and made it very formidable. The existence of Spearqi produced round after round of roaring sounds, and it seemed as if the whole world had suddenly changed, the sound of intermittent crying and pitiful screaming had spread everywhere, it was like the whole world was falling into the hell, which was truly terrifying. At this moment, his spear technique seemed to have reached a high degree of proficiency, close to perfection, indicating that great devilmander had practiced an authentic Modao based power technique. (NT: Modao = Devil arts, Wudao = Martial arts | Mo = Devil) Ye Xiwen wasn¡¯t the slightest scared of this and maliciously chopped out an unstoppable delight. In this battle, it could be said that Ye Xiwen waspletely unleashing his true strength and enjoying the battle to his heart¡¯s content. Each and every collision was setting off boundless shock waves in the air along with intermittent screams and cries. It was the great devilmander¡¯s spear attack of resentful souls but waspletely annihted by Ye Xiwen and vanished from this world along with the suffering souls that soon disappeared as well. Each time the two sides shed, the great devils present in the vicinity would be swept off their feet, but Ye Xiwen simply did not care, because even if more of these devils were dying, it was none of his concern, and even the great devilmander¡¯s eyes were blood red and didn¡¯t seem to hold back and was fighting with all his might without caring about the lives of his subordinates. Those great devils quickly withdrew far away from these two because the aftermath of their battle was really too terrifying. Once again, the de and the spear fiercely shed. ¡°Boom!¡± Zhen Yuan was crazily raging within Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. Tyrant body technique was also rapidly revolving inside his body and wrapping up ayer of golden light on his skin. When looked from afar, Ye Xiwen looked just like a golden god of war while the Zhen Yuan had formed a shield and blocking off all the impacts from outside. There was a faint figure of coiling dragon totally entrenched on Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and was emitting intense dragon qi, and even with his relentless attacks, the great devilmander was finding it very difficult to break through the protective barrier of coiling dragon on Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen had already practiced ¡®Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss¡¯ move of ¡°Coiling dragon palm¡± to the acme level and reached its perfection. Moreover, the coiling dragon wrapped on his body was the true nemesis of devils. At a distant ce, although great devils had temporarily spread around a little, but Hua Menghan and other disciples had joined forces and were sticking together to protect themselves and were watching the fierce battle going on between Ye Xiwen and the great devilmander which seemed to have reached a very intense stage. There were astonished looks in their eyes and all of them were constantly eximing while witnessing this insane battle. Hu Yanghang was the only one among them who had a disdained look on his face and was perniciously looking at Ye Xiwen. He was jealous of Ye Xiwen, extremely jealous, to such an extent that it was making him unable to stay calm. (NT: Hu Yanghang is the guy who is obviously jealous of Ye Xiwen and the reason of this jealously is waifu, ahem.., Hua Menghan. Hu Yanghang had sent 7 masters to intercept Ye Xiwen during assessment exam in Huanmo Territory and heter sent Young Marquis as well.) In a ce where no one else was looking, he pinched a secret technique under his sleeves and secretly sent a message from his summoning talisman, which then instantly departed towards the heaven. ¡°Hmph, Ye Xiwen, I will see how you die.¡± ¡°Damn human, today, today is the day of your death!¡± The great devilmander said in a cold voice, and his voice was so cold and grim, it seemed as if it was emerging out of an icehouse. Originally, the great devilmander always kept aloof but he held an unusual hatred for humankind. Perhaps lower level devils were not aware of this but he was well aware of the fact that the situation of the devils living in Mosha territory was no different than that of a bunch of pigs, raised by formidable humans to be ughtered in order to hone the skills of disciples of their sect. This was extremely painful for him, in fact, the thing which was even greater than this pain was actually the great shame that the proud devil race had to bear in Mosha territory. If his devil race managed to be strong and their strength exceeded a certain extent then they would be beheaded by the formidable humans who asionally came inside Mosha territory from time to time for inspection. He was scared that such a fate would ultimately befall him because he was a strong great devil himself. For the devil race of Mosha territory, those who managed to be formidable would eventually be killed by formidable humans and those who were not strong would be beheaded by the disciples of those formidable humans, and this was going to be their fate for generations. (NT: Formidable humans = Sect elders) No, he would absolutely not allow such a fate to befall him, he would not be a stepping stone for these human disciples, he was an invincible devil, he must transcend this cage then kill all humans and turn Zhen Wu Jie into a breeding field for devil race, all these humans were damn, damn, damn! A terrifying moqi flooded out of the entire body of great devilmander, there was deadqi also infused with his moqi and faint ghostly shadows could clearly be seen condensed with the moqi. (NT: moqi = Devilqi; deadqi = qi made up of the resentments of the dead) Theplexion on the face of great devilmander suddenly paled because he condensed a huge amount of his energy in this attack. One could hear the sad and shrill screamsing from the ghostly shadows condensed around the giant spear, and the endless amount of deadqi was sizzling and making noise, it seemed as if it was corroding the air itself, and then, it instantly flew straight towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt that a terrifying spear machine was firmly locking on his body followed by a surge of horrifying pressure which instantly released from the spear and pressured down on him. Ye Xiwen started to madly revolve Tyrant body technique inside his body because he knew that this was definitely thest resort of this great devilmander and as long as he was able to block this move, there would be no way out for the great devilmander. Ye Xiwen was not a recalcitrant, he instantly used celestial step and his figure shot forward, while his figure left afterimages and he instantly vanished, but at this time, he suddenly discovered that the spear was closely following him. Ye Xiwen did not have the chance to dodge so he immediately clenched his teeth and shouted loudly: ¡°Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss!¡± In an instant, endless amount of dragon qipletely surrounded his body and his entire body suddenly disappeared inside the inexhaustible amount of dragon qi. A gigantic dragon, which was several meters long, immediately took shape and stretched out its ws and directly grasped toward that terrifying spear made up of deadqi. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrible explosion urred and that terrifying spear was firmly grabbed in the ws of the incarnation of gigantic dragon, while a mutually intense ation started between dragon qi and deadqi, which issued a buzzing sound and this was an exceptionally fearful sight to witness. The spear filled with deadqi struggled in the grasp of that incarnation of the gigantic dragon, released by Ye Xiwen¡¯s coiling dragon palm technique and was directly broken into pieces in midair. Broken inch by inch! ¡°Poof!¡± The great devilmander screamed pitifully, spouted a mouthful of blood, while his burly stature swayed and slowly fell down on the ground. ¡°Devil, die!¡± Suddenly, a loud shout came from the sky, and while shaking the entire sky, a terrifying deqi instantly descended from the sky and the great devilmander was instantly split into two halves. At that time, his ability to resist hadpletely disappeared. After issuing that move, which was obviously hisst resort, he hadpletely exhausted his strength and was directly cleft in two by Ye Xiwen. When great devilmander was killed by Ye Xiwen, the great devil army immediately aligned themselves in a formation and started to retreat while showing excellent discipline, their retreat was definitely not like the act of escaping mob. Ye Xiwen, Hua Menghan and other disciples did not want to pursue them, after all, the great devil army was not defeated, only theirmander was killed. However, Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t get time to rx because a loud shout suddenly arrived from far away: ¡°Where is Ye Xiwen?¡± (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- (NT: I have an idea, since I don¡¯t want you people to send assassins after me for giving you a cliffhanger, I will do a real time trantion, which means, I will start tranting next chapter in the ss itself and continue to update it paragraph by paragraph until itspletely done. If I stop updating, that means I was caught by the elder and........Ninja mode ON! haha) Chapter 149 – Luo clan’s dogs Chapter 149 ¨C Luo n¡¯s dogs ¡°Where is Ye Xiwen?¡± A loud shout came from far away and gradually came nearer, and only in a while, three youths who had 25 or 26-year-old appearances arrived on the battlefield. One of them was a female with a radiant face like the moon itself. (NT: hu¨¡ r¨®ng yu¨¨ m¨¤o = face like the moon (idiom)) Another man had a medium build, looked ordinary, but appeared to have a tolerant and steady bearing. Thest one looked handsome and was wearing a magnificent robe. The cultivation levels of all three of them were extremely high and could not be underestimated. All of them had almost approached close to entering half a step into the truth realm, whereas, the beautiful moon-faced woman was already a master of half-step truth realm, although her cultivation level was not as good as that of Ye Xiwen, but not far off either. After seeing this trio, Hua Menghan¡¯splexion suddenly changed, and a look of unhappiness shed on her face, especially after seeing the beautiful woman who was standing in the middle of the trio. ¡°Who is Ye Xiwen?¡± The beautiful woman asked in a cold voice. ¡°Luo senior sister apprentice, he is Ye Xiwen!¡± From the crowd, Hu Yanghang suddenly stepped up and said while pointing towards Ye Xiwen. This immediately aroused discontented feelings in the hearts of Jing Yannan, Hua Menghan and other core seed disciples. It was Ye Xiwen who saved all of them a moment ago, but at this time, Hu Yanghang didn¡¯t think twice before betraying him. They could tell that Hu Yanghang was a typical faker and not at all authentic, but when their gazes were directed towards Ye Xiwen, they knew in their hearts that this guy was really authentic. Now, they could not help but stay away from Hu Yanghang. In their hearts, they secretly decided that it was not worth to maintain a close and long-standing friendship with a guy like Hu Yanghang, because they couldn¡¯t trust him anymore, since he turned out to be a guy who might betray them as well. Hu Yanghang did have the slightest idea about other people¡¯s suddenly changed perception about him, because right now, the only thing remaining in his heart was envy and hatred for Ye Xiwen. Initially, Ye Xiwen¡¯s existence was nothing more than a bug in his eyes, but now, he himself turned into a bug like figure in front of Ye Xiwen, who actually became so fierce and formidable that he was simply not a match of Ye Xiwen at all. This stark contrast made him feel exceptionally ufortable! ¡°You are Ye Xiwen?¡± Luo senior sister apprentice looked coldly at Ye Xiwen and lightly said. ¡°I am, who are you?¡± Ye Xiwen looked at that Luo senior sister apprentice and said, while he could clearly see the ill intent in her eyes. Ye Xiwen also looked coldly at Luo senior sister apprentice. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you have eyes but cannot see Mt. Tai......¡± Hu Yanghang said in acent and triumphant manner. ¡°Shut up, who do you think you are, daring to teach me!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted in an angry voice and released sonic waves, which swept out towards Hu Yanghang like mighty ocean waves. The color of Hu Yanghang¡¯s face suddenly changed to purple, simr to the color of a pig¡¯s liver, and he immediately held his breath. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Hu Yanghang was short of breath and suddenly shouted but he simply forgot the performance of Ye Xiwen from a while back, that hadpletely left him in a stunned state. His fist sted and a terrifying Quanjin rushed towards Ye Xiwen and rumbled maliciously. (NT: Quanjin = Fist strength) But at this time, Ye Xiwen also moved, his figure suddenly swayed, and at the same time, he also caught the Quanjin in his hand and directly crushed it. In an instant, Ye Xiwen already arrived in front of Hu Yanghang, and using big profound hand, he instantly routed the Zhen Yuan present inside the body of Hu Yanghang then grabbed his neck. Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm looked just like an iron hoop when it firmly clutched Hu Yanghang¡¯s neck and he seemed just like a chicken, clutched in the ws of an eagle. Everyone present there suddenly reacted, but then, they realized that Hu Yanghang was already in the grasp of Ye Xiwen. It happened so fast, it was simply like a miracle, no one could even see when it happened, because Hu Yanghang could not even use a single move to resist and was immediately grabbed by Ye Xiwen. Hu Yanghang¡¯s neck was in the firm grasp of Ye Xiwen while his whole body was being locked down by Ye Xiwen¡¯s formidable Zhen Yuan, and due to that, he basically did not have any strength left to even move. His face suddenly flushed with shame, he couldn¡¯t breathe properly, he was mad, he just could not ept in his heart, how could Ye Xiwen, an insect like figure, be so formidable in so less time that he had actually been grabbed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s clutches simply like a trash. He hated this, he was anxious to kill Ye Xiwen earlier. If only he had gotten rid of Ye Xiwen earlier then he would not be in such a situation. ¡°I have not gone to look for you but you actually dared toe out on your own, you are just a trash who dares to plot against me again and again. Today, you will pay the price.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. ¡°Stop!¡± Suddenly, Ye Xiwen heard a loud shout of that beautiful woman Surnamed Luo, directed at him, while she instantly shot an enormous breath, which locked on Ye Xiwen, and the fluctuations in her martial arts instantly turned intense. Ye Xiwen immediately pulled over Hu Yanghang¡¯s to stand in front of him to block the attack. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying power maliciously rumbled into the body of Hu Yanghang. He screamed pitifully and his body was covered with blood, his bones were broken, but at this instant, Ye Xiwen quickly and secretly shot his palm at the top of his pubic region. Hu Yanghang¡¯s martial arts were directly wasted and he immediately fainted and fell on the ground. ¡°How dare you!¡± That charming woman shouted in an angry voice and viciously stared at Ye Xiwen, while keeping a close eye on him. ¡°You also saw, it was not me who did this.¡± Ye Xiwen readily said in an indifferent tone and threw fainted Hu Yanghang aside. ¡°You ......¡± The charming woman red angrily at him and said. ¡°Luo Fangyi, you sent your brother to kill me, if you have the ability then try and do it yourself.¡± At this time, Hua Menghan said. ¡°Shut up you slut, do you think I can not kill you? If it was not for giving face to master, you would have already died long ago!¡± Luo Fangyi suddenly shouted. ¡°Luo Fangyi, I am the closing disciple of head, this position isparable to that of true disciples, you¡¯re a just a trivial sect disciple, do you think you can actually dare to defy your superiors?¡± Hua Menghan suddenly scowled and said in a serious tone. ¡°What did you say!¡± Luo Fangyi red at Hua Menghan with an apparent anger shing in her round eyes. Ye Xiwen finally understood that this woman was the elder sister of Luo Tian, the guy who was trying to kill Hua Menghan that day by poisoning her. ¡°Master is considering, Luo Tian¡¯s death is insufficient, it¡¯s a pity that he has not vented his anger on your Luo n, you are lucky.¡± Hua Menghan said without the slightest yielding in her tone. ¡°Venting anger on my Luo n just for you? My grand-uncle is a celestial elder of Yi Yuan School, my uncle is also an elder, and my brother is a true disciple who will also take over the position of head of our n in the future. Do you still think you can mess with our Luo n?¡± Luo Fangyi shouted in an angry voice. From Luo Fangyi¡¯s roaring voice, a general outline of a formidable n was sketched out and Ye Xiwen finally came to understand that perhaps, the influence of Luo n was quite strong in Yi Yuan School. Luo Yifan himself was a true disciple, in the future, he might also have the opportunity topete for the position of Sect head, and his uncle was an elder and should obviously be in the truth realm, and more importantly, he had a so-called grand uncle, who was actually a Taishang elder, which was said to be the biggest authority in Yi Yuan School, of course, only after the authority of head and the chiefs of the nine peaks of Yi Yuan School, in total ten individuals. But the authority of a Taishang elder was veryrge, and he could also question the decisions made by Sect head as well as chiefs of various peaks, in fact, some heads and chiefs were usually the apprentices of Taishang elders. It could be imagined that Luo n was another huge influence in Yi Yuan School and even the Sect head could not put his hands on them if there was not enough reason for it. All of these people were illustrious figures in Yi Yuan School and held a major influence. With Luo n¡¯s prominent influence, it was no wonder that Luo Tian was at the Xiantian third stage back then and had actually tried to kill Hua Menghan by poisoning her. It could be guessed that he had nothing to fear because even if he failed, Luo n would shelter him and so long as the Taishang elder of Luo n woulde forward, the Sect head would have no alternative but to show due respect to him, regardless of how he actually felt. But even after considering all that, he never calcted that he would end up meeting Ye Xiwen and would get beheaded before even getting a chance to properly brag about his own family background. After knowing this, Ye Xiwen felt an increasingly tremendous pressure. So he was not against just one person, Luo Yifan, but it was actually an entire n having several truth level masters as its members. However, since it had already begun then there was nothing to say anymore. ¡°Today, I¡¯m going to block him and keep here, soon my elder brother wille, and he has said that he would personally kill him.¡± Luo Fangyi sneered and said. Luo Fangyi did not pay attention to Hua Menghan because her cultivation level was inferiorpared to her own cultivation level. ¡°Ye Xiwen, hurry up and escape, at your current strength you are not an opponent of Luo Yifan, you have absolutely no chance of winning against him!¡± Ye Mo¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in his mind. Ye Xiwen also knew that if Luo Yifan was on the way, then perhaps, he would catch up soon, and in that case, he certainly could not stay here any longer. Even though he had achieved the strengthparable to the masters of half-step truth realm, but this strength would be insufficient in front of a true master like Luo Yifan. At his current strength, if he bumped into Luo Yifan then the consequences could be disastrous, and it was simply a no-brainer that Luo Yifan would kill him on the spot. Ye Xiwen quickly analyzed the actions of the members of Luo n which also gave him a general insight about Luo n. Luo Tian was only a master of Xiantian third stage but he still tried to kill a closing disciple of the head of Yi Yuan School, Luo Fangyi attacked Hu Yanghang and he ended up getting crippled but she did not care at all, and Luo Yifan tantly interfered during seed disciplepetition. Congregating all these facts, one could see the arrogant and overbearing demeanor of Luo n and also its extraordinary influence in Yi Yuan School, so conclusion could be drawn from this that Luo Yifan would definitely kill him without worrying about anything. ¡°Brother Ye, where do you think you are going.¡± Ye Xiwen was about to leave when suddenly, the figure of the mediocre looking man moved and appeared in front of Ye Xiwen, blocking his way. ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Xie Yi!¡± The man lightly said. ¡°Get out of the way.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Since Brother Luo ising, you will have to wait for some time.¡± Xie Yi said in a cold voice. Although he said in a very polite tone, but his words were actually filled with contempt. ¡°So, you are ackey of that Luo.¡± Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said with a killing intention shing in his eyes. ¡°Luo Yifan has raised quite a few loyal dogs.¡± ¡°Shut up, how dare you casually say Brother Luo¡¯s name like that!¡± The handsome man said, ¡°If you had not thoroughly angered Brother Luo then we would have killed you by now.¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°Mu Yi!¡± The handsome man replied, ¡°Since Brother Luo is aiming for your life himself, we will let you live until Brother Luo arrives here.¡± ¡°Well, well, well, I wonder if Luo Yifan would regret it when he gets to know that three of his core disciples died at once.¡± A cold smile appeared on the face of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen suddenly moved, his physique shed, and in an instant, a burst of terrifying imposing aura spread throughout the sky. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Important Notice: Due to increased MGS chapter size, I am unable to keep two projects, but keeping GSI as a side project and releasing at slow pace is simply brutal for many readers. So, I am dropping GSI and it has been picked up by a group.

If he wanted to get away then the only way left for him was to behead all three of them as soon as possible. The speed of Ye Xiwen was so fast that none of the people present at the scene could see him clearly. He instantly used celestial step and it could be seen that his movements were already at the acme level, and perhaps, only Luo Fangyi might just be able to slightly track his movements. ¡°Ye Xiwen, since you are so eager to die, then we have no choice but to kill you in ce of Brother Luo!¡± Mu Yi shouted loudly and immediately moved in order to stop Ye Xiwen and rushed straight towards him, while his terrifying strength of Xiantian Great which was nearly approaching the strength of half a step truth realm instantly spread out and a huge qi field enveloped Ye Xiwen inside it. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen shot his palm and the huge qi field instantly exploded and within the endless frenzy of Zhen Yuan after the explosion, Mu Yi could not react, and in a sh, Ye Xiwen had already arrived in front of him. Coiling Dragon palm! Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss! There was a panic-stricken look in the eyes of Mu Yi, and at this time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s palm turned into dragon ws and maliciously mmed on his chest. ¡°Boom!¡± Mu Yi, a master of the Xiantian Great realm was directly sent flying, all the bones in his bodypletely shattered, he spurted out a mouthful of blood mixed with some visceral matter released from his crushing internal organs. With just one palm attack from Ye Xiwen, this extremely arrogant guy was instantly sent flying, then immediately, Ye Xiwen¡¯s body shuttled forward like an arrow towards Mu Yi and shoved a fierce kick on his body in mid-air and his body directly plummeted on the ground. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s kick was not one bit less fiercepared to his palm attack. Half of Mu Yi¡¯s body was directly split open by Ye Xiwen¡¯s kick, his internal organs were crushed and his Zhen Yuan waspletely disrupted, it was now simply impossible for him to live in such a state. ¡°Impossible!¡± Xie Yi shouted in disbelief because the strength of Mu Yi and his own strength were almost at the same level, but he just could not believe his eyes when he saw that not just Mu Yi was unable to block Ye Xiwen, he was also so effortlessly killed by Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was simply unimaginable and super tyrannical! How could this Ye Xiwen be so tyrannical? ¡°How dare you kill a disciple of the same sect? You¡¯re done for, because now, not only you but your entire family must die!¡± Xie Yi yelled. A cold look shed in the eyes of Ye Xiwen. It was the most uneptable thing for him when someone threatened his family, because if his family was even touched by anyone then it would simply invoke the wrath of the dragon emperor itself inside of him. In this entire world, Ye Xiwen only held unbreakable bond with his family and could do anything for them, and if someone threatened him using his family then they would certainly be courting death! ¡°Boom!¡± The tyrannical imposing aura of Ye Xiwen scattered in all directions. It seemed as if his whole persona was just like a tornado while intermittent horrifying st waves were rolling out of his body. In a sh, Ye Xiwen¡¯s stature suddenly ejected straight towards Xie Yi just like an artillery shell. Xie Yi simply could not react and just saw a huge palming closer and closer towards his face and instantly went toward his cheek. ¡°Bold!¡± Luo Fangyi shouted and pointed her finger towards Ye Xiwen, and it seemed as if the finger point attack would break the world itself, and apanied with air explosions while producing a Zizi sound in the air, it instantly arrived near Ye Xiwen. ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted loudly, and suddenly,yer uponyer of sound waves proliferated through the atmosphere and blocked the finger point attack of Luo Fangyi. Luo Fangyi immediately had to withdraw several steps because even if she was a master of the half-step truth realm, but this realm consisted of strong as well as weak masters and Ye Xiwen was clearly the strongest in the half-step truth realm while Luo Fangyi could only be regarded at the bottom of the half-step truth realm. Luo Fangyi did not have a way to stop Ye Xiwen while his palm continued to get closer and closer to Xie Yi. ¡°Smack!¡± A loud sound of p resounded and Xie Yi¡¯s body was instantly sent flying while spinning and a mouthful of his teeth were also broken by the fierce p from Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen directly trampled the Dantian of Xie Yi and crushed it. After his Dantian was destroyed, his body could no longer withstand the gravity and started falling towards the ground in an upside down state. Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de chopped out a terrifying deqi which directly caught up with the flying body of Xie Yi. (NT: delight is just a representation of deqi. Both are same!) ¡°Puchi!¡± Xie Yi was cleft in two halves in the midair by Ye Xiwen¡¯s deqi. Jing Yannan looked at Ye Xiwen and could not help but held his breath for a moment. He did not expect Ye Xiwen to be so ruthless that he would mercilessly kill people in rage but still in a decisive manner without any hesitation. When most people came to know about the true background of a n like Luo n then they would certainly hesitate and even try to sort out enmity and differences, even after knowing that there was no room left to sort out anything, and very few would dare to directly kill. Cultivating seed level core disciples was not an easy task and it could even be said that these people had been especially trained by Luo n to be used in the future when they managed to break into the truth realm. They were one of the valuable assets of Luo n and now that they had been beheaded, the rage of Luo n could be imagined. Now, there was no turning back for the two sides. Only death was the ultimate solution! ¡°You dare ......¡± Luo Fangyi looked unbelievably at Ye Xiwen. Luo n¡¯s overbearing influence was well known to everyone and most people did not dare to go against Luo n. Even one mention of the name of Luo was enough to make them scared. She was shocked not because of Ye Xiwen¡¯s ruthlessness becausepared to him, she had been much more cruel, she hadmitted a lot of cruel acts and that was the reason why she was able to reach her current level, which was a proof of her ruthlessness, but it was all what she had done to others, no one ever did this to her until now. ¡°Who do you think you are? Since you dared to intercept me, be prepared to die!¡± Ye Xiwen said in an extremely angry voice, which was quite scary to hear. They not just threatened him but his family as well, so now, he was fully convinced that he would absolutely not allow the people of Luo n to hurt his family, at any cost. This was definitely not a joke! Luo Fangyi could clearly feel the murderous auraing out of Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and it was no secret that he was really intending to kill her. From the earlier fight, Luo Fangyi knew that she was definitely not the opponent of Ye Xiwen, which extremely frightened her in her heart. How could Ye Xiwen be so formidable, his strength was simply unimaginable and was clearly above her own strength? After arriving here, she did not try to kill Ye Xiwen just because of her brother¡¯s request to trap Ye Xiwen in this ce and stop him from escaping, so that when her brother woulde, he would personally kill Ye Xiwen, so none of them had nned to kill Ye Xiwen from the outset. At this moment, she suddenly shivered because she realized that if she had tried to kill him earlier then she would have been the first one to die. Thinking of this, suddenly, a chill ran down her spine and she instantly turned around to escape from Ye Xiwen. ¡°You want to escape? Humph!¡± She turned around to escape but a surge of Zhen Yuan hit her from behind and exploded, making her to instantly fall on the ground, followed by a figure dropping from the sky towards her. Ye Xiwen directly stepped on her body, and the terrifying strength applied an intense pressure on her chest and she immediately spouted a mouthful of blood. ¡°Today, none of you are going to escape.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a cold voice. Ye Xiwen originally did not want to ughter them, that¡¯s why he just abolished the martial arts of Hu Yanghang and did not kill him, butter, these three thoroughly enraged him by bringing his family into this matter, and now, no matter what, he decided to exterminate all three of them, because even one of them managed to escape then trouble would follow, but as long as no evidence was found by the Luo n, then they could only n secret attacks on him like today and would not be able to publicly prosecute him without the solid evidence. He needed to be careful, because if the evidence was found by the Luo n then they had many ways to deal with him, in fact, they could even use their influence in the sect to deal with him, and by that time, if he did not possess enough strength to take on Luo n, then that would really be a dead end for him. Ye Xiwen¡¯s Zhen Yuan was like the firmest shackles and had firmly locked down Luo Fangyi on the ground, she could not even move. ¡°Junior sister apprentice Hua, junior sister apprentice Hua, save me!¡± At this time, Luo Fangyi looked at Hua Menghan, as if she was looking at the peerless savior, and tried to seize thest ray of hope to save her life. Seeing that Hua Menghan turned away, suddenly, a feeling of despair arose in her heart, and she quickly shouted: ¡°Junior sister apprentice Hua, we are disciples of the same master, if you do no help me and master got to know about this then he would certainly remove you from status of closing disciple!¡± ¡°I did not see anything.¡± A look of disgust shed in the eyes of Hua Menghan, and seeing the current state of Luo Fangyi under the feet of Ye Xiwen, she actually felt some pleasant sensations in her heart. From the day she had entered the Main Sect, Luo Fangyi had been constantly causing troubles for her because Luo Fangyi thought that after the arrival of Hua Menghan, the head would not receive her as closing disciple, so Luo Fangyi was always looking for trouble, and some time ago, she sent her brother to poison Hua Menghan. If she had not met Ye Xiwen back then, death would have been small, because before dying, she would have faced severe atrocities and insult. Considering this, the anger in the heart of Hua Menghan was not smaller than that of Ye Xiwen. Hearing the words of Hua Menghan, Luo Fangyi was demented and immediately shouted: ¡°You damn bitch, you see somebody in trouble and still refuse to help, I will......¡± Before she could finish the sentence, Ye Xiwen directly killed her, and at this time, not a shred of mercy was present in his heart, after all, if not handled in a cleanly manner, then perhaps, it could invite greater trouble in the future. ¡°We must hurry and report to the sect, senior sister apprentice Luo and her team fought vigorously with the devils but lost the battle after they exhausted their strengths and were ultimately killed by the devils. The devils also ate their corpses on the spot.¡± At this time, Jing Yannan suddenly said. Ye Xiwen suddenly realized that Jing Yannan words implied that they were going to stand on the same front as Ye Xiwen and won¡¯t expose him. After all, they personally witnessed his rage and decisive killing and were also afraid that Ye Xiwen would suddenlyunch an attack on them, moreover, they had a deeper friendship with Hua Menghan. In addition to Hu Yanghang, they also found the members of Luo n very arrogant and annoying because they had tried to assassinate Hua Menghan, so they were secretly satisfied from the deaths of Luo Fangyi and her team. Judging from all this, it was obvious that they would certainly not risk their lives for the sake of the deaths of their enemies. ¡°Indeed, such a pity.¡± ¡°Those devils are too cruel and gitious.¡± Everyone suddenly showed their acknowledgement and supported the statement made by Jing Yannan, showing that they were also on Ye Xiwen¡¯s side. Hua Menghan also nodded to show her consent, waved her palm and a me-like Zhen Yuan flew towards the four corpses and began to burn them, and in a while, the corpsespletely burnt up without a trace left. ¡°Fellow senior brothers and sisters, I will not forget about the help I received today and certainly return the favor someday. If there is anything you need in the future, do not shirk to tell me about it.¡± Chapter 151 – Target, truth level devil commander! Chapter 151 ¨C Target, truth level devilmander! Half a month¡¯s time passed quietly. During this period of half a month, the entire Mosha territory was in turmoil because the daughter of Luo n, Luo Fangyi, had gone missing and this news caused a stir in Mosha territory. After Luo Yifan, Luo Fangyi was the outstanding talented master who was most likely going to be the next truth level master of the Luo n, but now, shepletely disappeared and not even her corpse could be found anywhere. This caused Luo n to get suddenly furious, especially Luo Yifan, because he was in the Mosha territory when she disappeared and this was the reason behind his violent anger. He was frantically searching for the whereabouts of Ye Xiwen because he had a hunch that this was the doing of Ye Xiwen. Although the news widely spread that Luo Fangyi was killed by devils but he did not believe it! She must have been killed by that Ye Xiwen! Because Luo Fangyi had informed him that she was going to intercept Ye Xiwen along with her two partners, but after that, he did not receive any messages from her or her partners. And this thing had made Luo Yifan extremely furious and he was searching Ye Xiwen in all directions in order to cut him into ten thousand pieces, but this search was not on a grand scale because it could be said that he still was notpletely suspecting Ye Xiwen! Did that mean that at the time when they intercepted Ye Xiwen, they were killed by him instead? What to say? First, since Ye Xiwen was actually the chief of inner seed disciples and he also broke several old records of Yi Yuan School after so many years, and not just that, many people treated him as the next Qi Feifan of Yi Yuan School and his extraordinary talent had also attracted the attention of a lot of old officials of sect. However if he was secretly taken care of by Luo n and so long as no else got to know about this, those old guys would obviously get very furious at the death of a peerless genius like Ye Xiwen, but they won¡¯t step up to do something about it, after all, who would try to fight for the sake of a deceased man. (NT: This paragraph gives the first reason why Luo Yifan is secretly searching for Ye Xiwen rather than openly ming him for killing his subordinates. He fears that old officials would step forward to save Ye Xiwen, so it¡¯s better to kill him first without the interference from those old officials.) But if disclosed publicly, then perhaps, the anger of those old guys might lead to downfall of Luo n. Although Luo n was considered a big influence, but not big enough to hoodwink the public in a grand way, after all, even the mighty Luo n had a lot of enemies. This was an unsaid custom followed in Yi Yuan School and if people wanted to kill someone, they must do it secretly otherwise it would create a great disturbance and utter confusion in Yi Yuan School. Second, not to mention, if three seed level core disciples were really killed by Ye Xiwen, then it would cause a huge uproar, but there was no evidence. Moreover, Ye Xiwen was the chief of inner seed disciples and many old fogies favored him a lot. If he had really killed one of the top core disciples of Yi Yuan School then his strength was definitelyparable to the strength of masters of half-step truth realm and this news would cause a sensation throughout Yi Yuan School, even many formidable masters who were still in closed door training in the depths of space and time would be alerted toe out, after all, Ye Xiwen was just a kid who joined the Main Sect not even a year ago, so how could he be so formidable so fast. Perhaps when the time was right, the respectable seniors woulde out from the depths of space and time, where these old fogies had been cultivating in seclusion, and they would take Ye Xiwen with them to the depths of space and time, and there, they would train him and also give him rich sect resources to help him grow faster. Compared to such a genius, Luo Fangyi¡¯s death simply did not mean anything to these old fogies, let alone it was Luo Fangyi who intercepted Ye Xiwen, so she got what she deserved. Ye Xiwen was such an evildoer that appeared once in a very long time in the world of martial arts, and such an evildoer was given the opportunity to obtain training and arge number of resources, then in the future, no one would be able to imagine his strength which would simply be against the heaven¡¯s will. (NT: The term ¡®Evildoer¡¯ doesn¡¯t mean evil guy.) So in this case, it was not easy to kill Ye Xiwen without disturbing others. In this short time of less than a month, several groups of core seed disciples and inner seed disciples, who were searching for Ye Xiwen, also disappeared without a trace just like Luo Fangyi. Luo Yifan knew very well that it must be the doing of Ye Xiwen, but it was useless to suspect without the evidence, but loss of dearly ones had caused Luo n to feel bad for quite a while, though these seed disciples were not in the truth realm, but it had not been easy to cultivate them. Training worth of decades was needed to achieve the strength equivalent to the level of seed core disciples and a lot of resources were also spent for their fast growth. If they were just ordinary masters of Xiantian ninth stage then it was not a big to lose them, but they were the elites, who had learned most superior martial arts power techniques and had also consumed finest and rare material treasures, so their martial arts was far better than their peers. It could be said that Luo n had made a huge investment in them and all of them held the highest possibility to qualify for the truth realm in the future, but it was all gone, all of them disappeared, i.e., in this session of seed disciplepetition, Luo n faced quite a heavy loss. Luo Yifan was not furious without a reason. Luo Yifan searched the outlying areas of Mosha territory but could not find Ye Xiwen, as if Ye Xiwen was also dead, but he actually knew that Ye Xiwen was not dead, he was absolutely not dead. Luo Yifan¡¯s intuition was telling him that Ye Xiwen was still alive. But he did not dare to go too deep inside the Mosha territory, because in the depths of Mosha territory, there was a huge country of devils, and among them, devil monarchs were very formidable and there were many truth level devils. It was said that only truth level formidable individuals, who were almost near the level of Qi Feifan, dared to venture into the depths of Mosha territory, others did not dare to go too far and only roamed in the periphery. Luo Yifan had no idea that he would end up searching for Ye Xiwen for so long in the outskirts of Mosha territory, but Ye Xiwen was actually in the depths of Mosha territory, a ce which was considered extremely dangerous due to it being the den of arge of formidable devils. But as far as Ye Xiwen was considered, that was not the case, because he was the master of Tianyuan mirror, and unless he encountered a truth level devil, other devils were not his opponents and were simply cut like vegetables by Ye Xiwen whenever they encountered him. Since the day Ye Xiwen killed Luo Fangyi, he had been honing his skills in the depths of Mosha territory, partly to escape from the search of Luo Yifan. He knew that this was the ce where Luo Yifan would definitely be afraid toe and only extraordinary and rampant masters like Qi Feifan would dare toe here, or someone who held a major secret like Ye Xiwen. On the other hand, it was also because those devils in the periphery of Mosha territory were not enough for him because the essence absorbed by beheading those devils was no longer enough for Ye Xiwen and basically was not helping at all in enhancing his cultivation level. Even if he was absorbing the essence present in the bodies of the devils of half-step truth level, the effect was not very big. Now the time to exit the Mosha territory was soon going to arrive, and since Luo Yifan was unable to find him during this time, he would definitely wait for Ye Xiwen outside in order to intercept him! Ye Xiwen clearly knew about this so he was temporarily risking his life to ensure his future safety. ¡°Now your cultivation is at the peak of Xiantian seventh stage and your fighting strength isparable to the masters of half-step truth realm, but even if you once again have a breakthrough to the Xiantian eight stage, your fighting strength will still beparable to the top masters of half-step truth realm.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°After all, you have not properly broken through to the truth realm and you cannot imagine the huge gap between the truth realm and half-step truth realm. Only if you manage to reach the Xiantian ninth stage, at that time, your fighting strength will finally beparable to that of a true master, and then, you will have enough strength to protect yourself.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°At present, it is possible only if I absorb arge number of top grade spirit stones, otherwise relying on my own umtion of Lingqi, it will take too long to cross this ridge, probably eight or ten years, or even more.¡± ¡°It is said that you won¡¯t gain anything until you venture into the tiger¡¯s den. I just need to directly behead a truth level devil and absorb his essence, and then in a short time, I will definitely make a breakthrough to the Xiantian ninth stage.¡± Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and an inexplicable light shed in his eyes. It was simply unthinkable for Ye Xiwen to take on a human truth level master, although he himself was among the top masters of half-step truth realm and it could be said that none of the masters of half-step truth level were his opponents, but if he encountered a truth level master then he won¡¯t stand a chance. This was why he had been hiding from Luo Yifan, and now that the exit time was going to arrive soon, it was obvious that Luo Yifan must be extremely mad that Ye Xiwen killed several of his core level seed disciples, and this time, he might not spare Ye Xiwen in front of therge crowd like he didst time, and might actually kill him on the spot. And if Ye Xiwen did not go out then it would undoubtedly anger Luo n and they would vent their anger on Qian Yu faction or Ye family. So, the only option left for Ye Xiwen was to risk his life and enhance his strength as soon as possible. At his current strength, Ye Xiwen did not stand a chance against a human master of truth realm, but as far as truth level devils were concerned, Ye Xiwen believed that as long as there was the suppression of Tianyuan mirror, there was some possibility that he might stand a chance against a truth level devil. Ye Xiwen had been observing from above a mountain peak for a long time, and some timeter, he saw a grandiose caravan at a far distance,ing out of a devil city and consisted of many devil guards, and in the center, there was a truth level devil. Earlier, Ye Xiwen had impersonated as a devil and entered the city to inquire and had found out about this truth level devil called Jufeng feudal lord. He recently entered the truth realm and the demon emperor of devil country bestowed upon him the title of the feudal lord of Jufeng city and the neighboring areas. These days, almost every day, he woulde out of the city with his caravan to patrol his own territory, and each time, he would be apanied by arge retinue, with many devil subordinates and ves. Ye Xiwen looked coldly at the Jufeng feudal lord because the only guy he needed to worry about was this Jufeng feudal lord, he could easily handle the rest of the devils in the caravan by using the suppression of Tianyuan mirror, because under the suppression, they would not be able to use even half their strengths. Although there were a lot of devils but even theirbined strength was not enough to stop him. His main target was the Jufeng feudal lord because he would be the most difficult one to deal with. Because Jufeng feudal lord had recently stepped into the truth realm, his breath was still somewhat unstable, and his aura was openly overflowing, and looking from afar, his moqi could be seen soaring in the sky, which was quite a frightening sight. (NT: moqi= devil qi) Ye Xiwen did not have another choice. Those old devils who had stepped into the truth realm a long time ago were very terrifying existences, so rtively speaking, Jufeng city¡¯s feudal lord was the easiest target at Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength. But at the same time, he was aware of the fact that he was getting this opportunity for only one time because if he failed this time, Jufeng feudal lord would certainly be vignt in his future patrols, and the next time, it won¡¯t be easy to kill him. Jufeng feudal lord would most probablye out of the city, apanied by a lot of devil guards, and in addition to his own incredible truth level strength, even by relying on the suppression of Tianyuan mirror, Ye Xiwen would have no chance of seeding. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and while leaving deep footprints on the ground, his body shot forward, as if an arrow just left the bow and rushed straight toward the caravan of Jufeng feudal lord. Chapter 152 – bitter struggle Chapter 152 ¨C bitter struggle The loud shout of Ye Xiwen immediately attracted the attention of many devil guards and causedmotion and disturbance among them. They pulled out their weapons and looked coldly at Ye Xiwen, judging from his battle cry, it was certain that he was not a friend and must be stopped. Suddenly, they smelled Ye Xiwen¡¯s breath and realized that he smelled like a human being and theirplexions immediately changed, human, it was actually a human! (NT: This breath is not that breath :P) In Mosha territory, the enmity between the human race and devil race was even greater and deadlier. They hated each other and were sworn enemies, and so long as a human appeared in their territory, then he would certainly be killed. Human warriors used them as objects to gain experience and this had developed a burning anger in the hearts of these devils. ¡°Subject him to death!¡± A Xiantian ninth stage devil master took out his long de and shot a myriad of delight, and it seemed as if they were cutting through a section of the world itself. Ye Xiwen immediately waved his long de, and it seemed as if a gxy itself started to fall from the ninth heaven, like a swaying slice of magnificence and instantly crushed the myriad of delight, and after that, it rushed towards that master. ¡°Dang!¡± A loud metal shing sound spread and Ye Xiwen¡¯s delight shed with the long de of that master and instantly shattered it into pieces and crumbled down on the ground. Ye Xiwen¡¯s delight went unobstructed like the lightning itself and it was toote for that devil master to dodge and was cleft in two while screaming pitifully. The other devil masters simply did not care even if one of their own was beheaded by Ye Xiwen, but there was not even the slightest change in their attitude. It could be said that these devils had crawled out of the sea of blood, had lived a long life through bloody battles and were extremely cold-blooded. In addition to that, they were all extremely cruel existences, and at this moment, they only cared about their one and only target, Ye Xiwen. ¡°ng!¡± ¡°ng!¡± ¡°ng!¡± Dozens of the devil warriors suddenly released their attacks and numerous delights filled the entire sky, while each delight was so terrifying that it was sending shock waves in the air. Innumerable de shadows directly shook the entire sky and filled the entire atmosphere with moqi. (NT: moqi = ¡®devil qi¡¯ ¨¤ I put these notes in every chapter for the sake of forgetful readers, don¡¯t de me for this :P) These devil masters had abnormal understanding among them and were exceptionally tacit in coordinating their attacks, like a moment ago, they almost simultaneously released their de attacks, and thisbined attack was just like theposition of a Zhen formation, with Ye Xiwen in the center and all of his escape routes werepletely closed off. (NT: I am going to use Zhen formation in ce of Zhen method, as requested by a user.) There was a deadpan look on the face of Ye Xiwen as he was using celestial step, his pace did not stagnate even the slightest as he directly dashed wildly towards the Jufeng feudal lord, and his de issued a bright delight in the sky that directly rumbled against those devil masters and sent them flying in all directions. ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± ¡°Dang!¡± The terrifying strength of Ye Xiwen severely hit those devil masters, who did not stand a chance in front of him, and his delight almost instantly wiped out several devil masters, and the weaker ones were instantly chopped down into pieces. Ye Xiwen did not stop and continued to release formidable delights, ruthlessly, and one after another. ¡°Poof!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s delight pierced the chest of a devil master that minced his internal organs and killed him in an instant. Ye Xiwen waved his long de and released a terrifying deqi which went flying and advanced unhindered towards the devils. ¡°Bang!¡± The body of a devil master was sliced at his waist and two sections of his body flew upside down. Ye Xiwen continued to rush straight through the group of devil guards as if he was taking a stroll. Others devil guards saw theirpanions getting chopped down and dying but they were not the slightest afraid and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. These were experienced devil guards and all of them had gone through very rigorous training and were only loyal to Jufeng feudal lord. The cunningness and cruelty of these devils waspletely on a different level. ¡°Bang!¡± But it was obvious, when these devil experts rushed towards Ye Xiwen, they were chopped down by his de, their bodies instantly burst, their heads cracked open, rest were split in half. Ye Xiwen seemed to be leisurely and easily making his way towards Jufeng feudal lord while killing all of the devil guards who were trying to get in his way. He advanced quickly while sending those devils flying and sttering blood all the way! Jufeng feudal lord was different and much stronger than these devil guards, but each of them had followed him for a long time and helped him in his conquest to be a direct descendant and gain his current status. They were extremely loyal to the Jufeng feudal lord, and one could say that the masters of the same level of Yi Yuan School were not necessarily the opponents of these devil guards. These devil guards were just like killing machines that had crawled out from a battle scene, ruthless, and were not afraid to die. But they were being chopped down like vegetables by Ye Xiwen without getting a chance to even react and it seemed like he was just taking a stroll. ¡°Damn human, you actually dare to appear in front of us, you are really courting death!¡± A devil master of half-step truth realm said in a loud voice and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. He was the captain of the devil guards. From a distant ce, Jufeng feudal lord was looking coldly at the rushing figure of Ye Xiwen. He was looking down on Ye Xiwen, who was not even the master of truth realm, and he was simply not paying attention to Ye Xiwen, as if he was looking in the direction of Ye Xiwen but did not bother to pay attention to an ant like existence. The half-step truth level devil captain threw an extremely formidable Quanjin, which twisted up, forming a tornado, then swept towards Ye Xiwen swallowing everything on the way. (NT: Quanjin = Fist strength) Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de chopped out a dazzling move, but very gently, and in a sh, a hundred feet long delight instantly congealed and rushed maliciously. The half-step truth level devil captain did not expect Ye Xiwen to be so formidable, after all, Ye Xiwen was also at the same level as him, and devils were supposed to be inherently superior warriorspared to the humans at the same level, then how could Ye Xiwen, a human master at half-step truth realm, be more formidable than him? He immediately threw his fist in order to release Quanjin but did not get a chance to react, and before he could realize what happened, his arm was suddenly cut off by Ye Xiwen on the spot. Ye Xiwen clearly had the upper hand, and his long de instantly chopped out a second time and used ¡®missing moon beheader¡¯ at the devil captain, without pausing even for an instant. ¡°Puchi!¡± The half-step truth level devil captain was directly split into two halves by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Human, you are quite courageous to actually dare and attack the caravan of this Jufeng feudal lord.¡± At this time, Jufeng feudal lord finally moved, ¡°Human, today, you must die, I will use your human blood to wash away the shame that human beings have imposed on devil race.¡± ¡°Cut the crap, Jufeng feudal lord, today, it¡¯s you who is going to die.¡± Ye Xiwen was not in a mood to talk nonsense with Jufeng feudal lord, during these days that he had spent in investigating about him, he had also discovered that this Jufeng feudal lord and other devil feudal lords were all iparably cruel and brutal. The devils around Jufeng feudal lord immediately made way for him and did not dare to approach him. The strength levels of these two masters simply could not bepared, and perhaps, if it was someone else challenging Jufeng feudal lord, then it would be a dead end for them. ¡°Human, die!¡± Jufeng lord bellowed and sted his fist,yers afteryer of moqi swept out, and from the void, ck blossoming lotuses suddenly congealed and dropped from the sky. Each of these ck lotuses contained terrifying strength, and with just a single touch, masters of Xiantian ninth stage would directly get killed without leaving any room to escape. But at this time, the Tianyuan mirror, hidden in Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, finally assumed an awe-inspiring stance and released a horrifying emperor like coercion which instantly and firmly suppressed the strength of Jufeng feudal lord, making him to have an aggrieved feeling in his heart while horrifying waves of coercion were pressuring him. However, the ck lotuses started to fall towards Ye Xiwen at terrifying speeds. Ye Xiwen suddenly chopped out his long de and a fearful majestic diagram of moon congealed in the sky and went towards the falling ck lotuses and swept them away. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack swept away most of the ck lotuses and they started to explode one by one. ¡°Die you ant like human!¡± An inexplicable coercion was tightly holding him down, causing him to have a feeling of surrendering, and this feeling had prated deep into his heart, which soon made him to get depressed and extremely mad, and he suddenly attacked once again. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The ck lotuses strangely disappeared and suddenly reappeared behind Ye Xiwen and exploded. ¡°Poof!¡± Ye Xiwen spouted blood from his mouth and his full body armor instantly disintegrated, while blood started dripping from his back, covering the entire back portion of his body in blood. It was indeed true that truth level masters were iparably terrifying. Although most of his strength was being suppressed by Tianyuan mirror, but he still had enough strength to fatally wound Ye Xiwen. If Jufeng feudal lord was using his full strength, then, the earlier attack was sufficient enough to violently kill Ye Xiwen. However, there wasn¡¯t the slightest fear on the face of Ye Xiwen, on the contrary, at present, the look on his face made him look like a battle maniac, who was enjoying the battle very much. His opponent was a disciplinedmander and a formidable opponent, but he still must beat this opponent at any cost. ¡°Damn human, I will crush you!¡± Lord Jufeng roared fiercely and sted his fist maliciously towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Boom!¡± The fist swept out a fist wind which took form a very scary ck tornado, and it seemed as if it was cutting off and twisting the space itself and swallowed everything on its way. As the fist-st arrived, it seemed as if the time itself stagnated, and in this moment, only the glory of this fist attack was visible to all! An invisible pressure instantly attacked the heart of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Ye Xiwen, watch out!¡± Ye Mo shouted. This truth level devil lord¡¯s strength was terrifying and far beyond his imagination. The brilliant Quanjin seemed to erge infinitely, as if it was going to expand right across the sky, and fiercely exploded. Most people could not see, even Ye Xiwen could faintly see the trajectory of this terrifying and incredibly fast Quanjin and instantly chopped out his long de, releasing gorgeous rays of light, that ultimately transformed into a supreme de and shot up in the sky towards that terrifying Quanjin. At this time, from the look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, it seemed as if he was drowning in water, and tightly clenching his teeth, to fight against the horrifying pressure. ¡°Boom!¡± Quanjin and delight suddenly collided with each other and this collision was so dazzling that it was hard to open one¡¯s eyes, so formidable that it almost crushed the space, and seemed to spread chaos, just like the scene of grand explosion during the Big Bang, andyer afteryer of huge shock waves spread in all directions. The brilliant Quanjin of the Jufeng feudal lord was iparably powerful and he had to use Zhen Yuan behind his back to support himself in front of such a powerful attack, while the Quanjin quickly engulfed his delight, and this time, the gap between the strengths of the two masters clearly reflected itself and was incisive and vivid. ¡°Boom!¡± The iparably horrifying Quanjin instantly sted into the body of Ye Xiwen and he spat a mouthful of blood. The horrifying Quanjin thundered on the body of Ye Xiwen, while at the same time, the impact caused the Tyrant body technique to suddenly enhance to the acme level, and just like the fierce collision of two weapons, in that instant, a deafening loud sound resounded. The Quanjin finally dispersed and the entire chest of Ye Xiwen was covered in blood due to it. If his body wasn¡¯t abnormally strong, then like ordinary people, he would have been turned into minced meat by the terrifying st of that Quanjin. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- (NT: Poll results and winners-> Title at the top and No more live trantion. Also, darkening the title is a suggestion from an intellectual reader named Darkarts (hats off to you man :D)) Chapter 153 – Comparable to truth realm Chapter 153 ¨C Comparable to truth realm Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was almost beaten to disintegration because the attack of this truth level master was too terrifying, but it was only this once as the Jufeng feudal lord was once againpletely suppressed by the Tianyuan mirror and as long as the mirror¡¯s coercion was acting on him, he won¡¯t be able to issue such a terrifying attack again. But Jufeng lord did not give Ye Xiwen much time to rest and again threw a fierce Quanjin that went across the sky towards Ye Xiwen and rumbled maliciously. (NT: Quanjin = Fist strength) Ye Xiwen¡¯s immortal like stature swept out in the air, his de¡¯s intention shot up towards the sky and transformed into a very lifelike and vivid coiling dragon made up of de intention and it seemed that it would destroy everything that woulde in its way. The huge coiling dragon made up of de intention soared high into the sky and it seemed as if it would destroy the heaven itself. The long de danced in his hands and released Zhen Yuan which then suddenly soared several folds into the sky and firmly advanced towards the Jufeng feudal lord. The Quanjin of Jufeng feudal lord congealed out of void and transformed into an invincible war devil and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen immediately transformed the de intention into multiple vivid diagrams, each of these diagrams were capable of suppressing the entire world and crushing everything. The invincible war devil was directly crushed and obliterated by the vivid diagram of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de intention. (NT: This de intention is just like creative concept. Though it looks like a diagram but the energy it¡¯s made up of is deqi. By the way, war devil is also a creative concept.) But in the meantime, without the slightest stagnation, Ye Xiwen immediately extended his hand which then changed into a dragon w, disying the might of ¡®Coiling dragon palm¡¯. Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss! And the coiling dragon immediately advanced towards Jufeng feudal lord to grab him. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s dragon w directly bombarded on the body of Jufeng feudal lord who could not react and still did not know that this attack actually shattered most of his ribs, and at this time, the Quanjin of Jufeng feudal lord rumbled on the body of Ye Xiwen and directly shattered quite a few of his breastbones. Both of them immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and their bodies flew upside down, and were also shocked by fierceness of each other¡¯s attacks, while the intention to kill suddenly intensified in their eyes. Ye Xiwen must kill him to gain the strength equivalent to the masters of the truth realm and Jufeng feudal lord couldn¡¯t allow this insolent lowly human to escape. This was an old hatred, an impassable animosity! ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Both of them were trying their utmost in the battle, each move would cause fierce air explosions and copse the atmosphere, none of them were holding back even the slightest and were constantly using cut-throat attacks on each other. Tianyuan mirror had produced a square shaped curtain made up of scarlet light and it was hanging above his head, and the spirit stones began to burn inside the storage ring of Ye Xiwen, constantly emitting huge amount of Lingqi to consolidate Tianyuan mirror. ¡°Damn human!¡± Jufeng feudal lord roared, he never thought that he would actually be seriously wounded by a lowly human, a human who had not even stepped into the truth realm. He was so seriously wounded that blood was constantly spilling out from the corners of his mouth and he still was not aware that some of the broken ribs had pierced his internal organs, resulting in constant blood loss. The degree of Ye Xiwen¡¯s aggressiveness had gone far beyond the imagination of Jufeng feudal lord because he never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually be able to injure him. He was merely a human who had not even stepped into the truth realm and who would have thought that a lowly ant-like human would actually injure him to such an extent. After entering the truth realm, this was the first time he had to face the bitter feeling of sustaining injuries. Ye Xiwen did not expect that this truth level devil would actually be so terrifying and it would be so hard to deal with him. This battle had gone far beyond his imagination, but at this moment, there was an even more excited expression on his face, because he knew full well that if he could beat such a strong opponent then he himself would be much stronger than ever before. With an ice-cold expression on his face, Ye Xiwen shouted: ¡°Die!¡± Ye Xiwen started to release de intentions one after another and a group of de intentions blotted out the entire sky and pressed down. This was apetition between creative concepts and this was also apetition to see which one of them would be able to resist and which one would go down. Jufeng feudal lord bellowed, the moqi in his body quickly condensed into an ancient war devil, and right now, it was in a defensive posture. His injuries were more severepared to that of Ye Xiwen and under the constant great suppression of Ye Mo¡¯s Tianyuan mirror, he almost could not control himself because of the thought that had suddenly sprouted in his heart and was forcing him to prostrate in front of Ye Xiwen. This was a terrifying thought, making him want to snarl in desperation, he absolutely could not kneel down in front of a lowly human. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying de intention was fiercely chopped out towards the war devil of Jufeng feudal lord. The de intention transformed into a moon-like cold and sharp deqi and instantly split that war devil into two halves, and after that, it collided into the body of Jufeng feudal lord. ¡°Poof!¡± Jufeng feudal lord was sted away and his body directly crashed on the ground and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Ye Xiwen shot his palm congealing a long shadow of a coiling dragon. It thundered and released sound waves which transformed into four sonic arrows and shot forward. Divine Dragon flings its tail! ¡°Bang!¡± The dragon¡¯s tail swept towards Jufeng feudal lord and he was immediately sent flying. The coiling dragon¡¯srge tail had swept, moreover it was an all-out sweep so the consequences could naturally be imagined. The barrier of energy protecting the body of Jufeng feudal lord instantly exploded under the terrifying strength of coiling dragon¡¯s attack and there simply was no way left for the Jufeng feudal lord to protect himself. ¡°K!¡± There was no suspense, Jufeng feudal lord was swept away, all of the bones in his bodypletely shattered and turned into powder while one could still hear the dragon howl, this end was iparably terrifying. ¡°Damn it!¡± Jufeng feudal lord roared loudly, he just could not ept that such a fate would befall him, that he would be defeated like this by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Bang!¡± Ye Xiwen used his foot to heavily stamp on the sternum of Jufeng feudal lord and after directly smashing it, his foot immediately prated into the ground. The heart of Jufeng feudal lord was instantly crushed, and without the heart, he struggled a bit then finally died. Tianyuan mirror emitted scarlet light whichpletely enveloped the Jufeng feudal lord and his Jingqi was instantly absorbed by Tianyuan mirror, then after refining it and removing the impurities, the refined essence was instilled into the body of Ye Xiwen. (NT: Jingqi = life essence or vitality) Right after this, the imposing aura of Ye Xiwen started to increase gradually! ¡°Attack him, kill that damn human and take revenge for the feudal lord!¡± After witnessing the death of the Jufeng feudal lord, some of the devils who were part of the caravan of the Jufeng feudal lord immediately left the formation and ran away. Not much time had passed since the Jufeng feudal lord had assumed the post of the feudal lord of Jufeng city so how could they possibly have any sense of belonging for him. However there were some of the original followers of the Jufeng feudal lord who had fought alongside him during the Jufeng Civil war and were very loyal to him. At this time, all of them rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen coldly snorted and a long dragon soared into the sky and coiled around Ye Xiwen. The devils who had just now approached near him were directly torn to pieces by the long dragon and could not approach him. The overwhelming Dragon qi of this long dragon was itself the nemesis of these devils and coupled with the strength of Ye Xiwen, these devils simply didn¡¯t stand a chance. In addition to this, at this time, the Tianyuan mirror had assumed an awe-inspiring stance above the head of Ye Xiwen, and with its support, he was already able to deal with a truth level master like Jufeng feudal lord who had only been suppressed to a certain extent under the influence of Tianyuan mirror, but the strength levels of these devils was below the truth realm, most of them were the devils of Xiantian eight stage or ninth stage and it was easy topletely suppress them. These devils could not withstand the horrifying coercion of the Tianyuan mirror that appeared all of a sudden and they immediately knelt down on the ground, trembling, and a thought appeared in their hearts making them feel as if they were present in front of their master, and Ye Xiwen appeared as a god-like presence to them. The long dragon killed all them while none of them dared to resist, and eventually, the life essences of these devils were also absorbed by Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, although the effect was small, but it was still better than nothing. Ye Xiwen¡¯s imposing aura finally started to increase sessively! ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen finally had a breakthrough and stepped into the Xiantian eight stage, his imposing aura increased by a section but did not transformpletely, though at this moment, he had be stronger than a master of half-step truth realm and his strength became even more unfathomable. Ye Xiwen¡¯s body was crazily absorbing the life essence of Jufeng feudal lord which waspletely different from the life essence of a master at the half-step truth realm. It was said that stepping into the truth realm was actually the second major transformation after the first major transformation during the breakthrough from Houtian realm to Xiantian realm, and it also brought forth bigger changespared to the breakthrough from the Houtian realm. After stepping into the Xiantian realm, the lifespan increased from 100 years to 200 years, and again after breaking from Xiantian realm to truth realm, the lifespan increased from 200 years to 500 years, which was almost more than double. The life essence also had aplete change after stepping into the truth realmpared to how it was in the Xiantian realm. For stepping into the Xiantian realm from the Houtian realm, pure exercise of mortal body was required and one needed to open up the world bridge, however after stepping into the truth realm, one started understanding some of thews of the world and also use them, for example the flight itself vites thews of the world, because ording to the world¡¯sw, flight is impossible without the wings, but afterprehending some of the rules, one could override these limitations, and not just flight, there were many examples like breathing underwater, walking in the fire, things that were not possible for a human being to achieve with his own ability, but a truth level master could do all these impossible things. This was the beginning of the transformation of the body from an embryo into the legendary immortal god. Although this Jufeng feudal lord was a devil, but in this regard, things were exactly the same for both devils and humans irrespective of their races. The life essence of Xiantian level devils and truth level devils were very different, and the moment Ye Xiwen absorbed the refined life essence of Jufeng feudal lord, his cultivation instantly began to rise gradually. Meanwhile, Ye Xiwen also found out that when he came into contact with the life essence of a truth level master, he also came into contact with thews of this world, and the space in his mind also began to change. Originally, it was only for martial arts and couldprehend unceasingly and the results of thoseprehensions appeared in front of Ye Xiwen, making it easy for him to understand. In other words, originally, the space worked in a way that a school student could understand thenguage used to exin the contents in a University, which in itself was a miracle, an incredible myth. If not relying on this mysterious space, Ye Xiwen would not have been able to achieve his current strength in almost a year¡¯s time, and considering the progress he had shown during this one year, others would have achieved the same progress in several decades or even a century. Now that Ye Xiwen had finallye in contact with thews of the world, the mysterious space actually began to analyze all sorts of mysteries of worldws and revealing them in front of him, who was initially unable to understand even the basicws, but now, he discovered that as long as he continued to inject Lingqi into the mysterious space, his understanding of thews of the world would continue to improve. This was the reason why Ye Xiwen was confident that even when he was at the Xiantian ninth stage, he should be able to contend with a master at the first stage of truth realm, because these first stage true masters had onlyprehended some of the basic worldws. But at present, Ye Xiwen could draw support from the mysterious space, making him able to grasp thesews faster. Xiantian eighth intermediate! Xiantian eighthte! Xiantian eighth peak! ¡°Boom!¡± The imposing aura of Ye Xiwen suddenly reached a terrifying level and even the clouds in the sky started twisting into a group along with his breakthrough. Xiantian ninth stage! The fighting strength of Ye Xiwen rose dramatically and becameparable to the masters of truth realm, then stopped! Ye Xiwen opened his eyes that shed with vitality, and along with that, an explosion urred in the atmosphere! (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Ye Xiwen¡¯s inner state is at the Xiantian ninth stage. Though the energy quantity and quality in his body isparable to the masters of truth realm, thanks to ¡®Jufeng feudal lord¡¯s life essence¡¯ and he has also managed toprehend the worldws thanks to ¡®mysterious space¡¯ and his body can take all this high level stuff thanks to ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯ and this novel has 3000 chapters thanks to ¡®500 years granted to Ye Xiwen by truth realm¡¯ which will certainly increase when he enters the ¡®legendary realm¡¯ :P) Chapter 154 – Trial ends Chapter 154 ¨C Trial ends Although it was very difficult to control one¡¯s own state and restrain one¡¯s breath just after having the breakthrough, for example that Jufeng feudal lord who had recently broken through and entered into the truth realm but could not hide his breath, but Ye Xiwen was different, he had already reached a terrifyingly high level of ¡®Restraining breath technique¡¯, and now, even if a master of truth realm was in front of him, they would find it difficult to discover Ye Xiwen¡¯s presence. He instantly restrained his breath, at this time, there was no presence of devils within a radius of a hundred miles, and Ye Xiwen had already killed Jufeng feudal lord so how could they dare to stay there, so while Ye Xiwen was having a breakthrough, they quickly escaped. At this time, Ye Xiwen felt several godly sweeps which swept over the entire area and all belonged to the truth level masters, though there were merely ten of them in the nearby areas who had used their godly sweep, it seemed like at the time when Ye Xiwen was having a breakthrough, the color of world had deteriorated and this had attracted the attention of many truth level masters in the neighborhood. ¡°It is not safe to stay here for a long time. You should better leave this ce a bit faster.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°There may be some truth level powerful devils heading this way!¡± ¡°En!¡± Ye Xiwen nodded and said, ¡°Now it¡¯s about time for the trial to end, we must go out.¡± Ye Xiwen said and a rainbow suddenly appeared underfoot and his entire figure vanished in the emptiness, dashing forward like a human god. ¡ª¡ª It seemed like a month¡¯s time had passed in an instant, and it was time to open the door connecting Yi Yuan School to Mosha territory, although the loss of personnel was not small, but this loss would soon be supplemented from the outside, a team of hundred people was simply not a problem as long as there were few people who could progress by leaps and bounds and get stronger than everyone. This was the fundamental notion in Yi Yuan School that a strong individual was worth a thousand mediocre. Yi Yuan School was one of great forces of the Great Yue State, but what was the actual reason behind its influence? It was not due to the hundreds of thousands of disciples, not due to the hundreds of true disciples, but was actually due to the hundred or so legendary level masters who held the most influence and held status right after the leaders of ten peaks, the head, and the Taishang elder. This was the foundation of Yi Yuan School and truly guaranteed its safety, so it trained disciples with the consistent standards of picking out the elites, more talented, more cultured elites, who could get enormous benefits for the sect. Although cruel, but it was a fundamental conduct in Yi Yuan School. Not only Yi Yuan School, other major sects were also like this! This was a convention and was true at any ce. The seed disciples were no doubt the most outstanding ones! ¡°I heard that there is an extraordinary character among this year¡¯s inner disciples.¡± A core seed disciple said and looked towards a distant ce where inner seed disciples were present. The team of core seed disciples seemed to have shrunk by almost one-third, and inparison to them, the number of inner seed disciple was not much less. This was because they knew that their own strength was limited so they did not go too deep inside the Mosha territory, basically they just roamed in the peripheral areas, and therefore, the casualties were minimized. This was the so-called trying to drink while pecking, and because of this, Yi Yuan School put these disciples in this ce, they just wanted these core disciples to go through the worst to gain experience and enhance their strengths. Only the truth level disciples had the ability to survive in this ce. The sect knew that the disciples would not go too deep, and if they didn¡¯t, then they would not be able to have a major change in their destiny. If its disciples did not persevere then the whole generation would be just a group of idiots and even if they were to die, there would be nothing to pity! Such type of people who were not prepared to take risks could not see the future clearly and were doomed tock future prospects. ¡°A character like Qi Feifan, are you perhaps talking about that Ye Xiwen?¡± A nearby disciple replied. Several disciples on the surrounding gave a clear understanding look as if they knew that it could only be Ye Xiwen. ¡°I heard that even Luo Fangyi, Xie Yi et al. also died at his hands!¡± A disciple eximed. ¡°Really? No wonder, some time ago, the people of Luo n were wildly looking for him in the entire Mosha territory.¡± Another disciple joined the discussion and said. ¡°Is that so, no wonder, otherwise why do you think that Luo n would be so angry all of a sudden? They had put every effort in training Luo Fangyi and she was going to be the next person to enter the truth realm after Luo Yifan and could be a great truth level master. It could be said that the current generation of Luo n was going to be headed by these two in the near future, I never thought that she would actually die here.¡± The disciples exined. ¡°Earlier, I heard that Ye Xiwen was also involved in the death of Luo Tian, so he was running away from Luo n but no one thought that he would actually kill the members of Luo n instead!¡± A disciple said in such a way as if he had actually witnessed this with his own eyes. ¡°Luo n wants to conceal the news but they cannot stop others from knowing, almost everyone knows about this matter.¡± ¡°This is fun, but I¡¯m afraid that Ye Xiwen is not fully aware of Luo n¡¯s influence otherwise he would not have done things to send Luo n into rage.¡± ¡°I think he is well aware of that because I heard that the team that Luo n sentter to find Ye Xiwen has also disappeared without a trace, I doubt that they have fallen in the hands of Ye Xiwen. It can be said that Luo n has faced a huge loss and although it cannot be said that they have been beaten, but they have been hurt pretty bad, that¡¯s for sure.¡± ¡°But since there is no evidence, this time, Luo n must be having a feeling that their teeth have been knocked out.¡± Another disciple said. ¡°Hmph, do you think that Luo n is at disadvantage? Yes, they don¡¯t have evidence, but if there was evidence then Ye Xiwen¡¯s family would have been eradicated by now, that¡¯s the code of conduct of Luo n. It enough for them to kill someone just based on suspicions, because ording to their rules, killing a wrong person is fine but not letting go a culprit!¡± ¡°Well, let us not discuss about this anymore. You do not know about the overbearing attitude of Luo n, and now that Ye Xiwen has beheaded so many of their members in such a short time, no matter what happens, it is going to be a big issue sooner orter, so when the timees, do not get yourselves involved in this.¡± After Hua Menghan heard these words, a somewhat worried look appeared on her face, but at this time, Jing Yannan smiled and said: ¡°It should not be a problem, Brother Ye is very strong and when the timees, he will be regarded as a peerless talent and the Sect woulde to take him under their care and personally train him, even the rampant Luo n would not be able to touch him.¡± Everyone nodded, although some of them had not met him face to face, but they still held good impression about him. Ye Xiwen was critically decisive and made right decisions at the key moment, he was not attracted head over heels towards women, and there was no shred of arrogance in him around friends and only seemed to show his arrogance to his enemies. Being friends with such a guy should be a good choice! Then suddenly, in the distant horizon, a streamer shed and a figure descended down from the sky, it was Luo Yifan, but at this time, hisplexion was ashen andpletely pale. When the disciples in the surrounding area saw him like this, all of them suddenly went silent, because they did not want to incur the wrath of a mad god who seemed to be in such a state that he could kill indiscriminately if annoyed. One month, he was looking for a whole month, but still no signs of Ye Xiwen, which was simply unimaginable for him, he had never encountered such a cunning enemy, like a mosquito that bit then flew away then bit again, so annoying but also painful. Moreover, he sent several waves of core seed disciples but they alsopletely suffered defeat, and what made him even more depressed was the disappearance of several waves of core seed disciple s, not to mention, he himself went almost everywhere to search for Ye Xiwen but could not find him, he was simply depressed to death. He did not know that he was finding ways to intercept Ye Xiwen and Ye Xiwen was also asking around to locate his position in order to intercept him. He never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually be so bold that he would dare to kill his henchmen. In short, he was depressed to death and had never encountered such a situation, though it was alling to an end, because in addition to the core disciples, even the true disciples needed special approval to enter and wander inside Mosha territory and also required some special circumstances or reasons to go inside. This was the only opportunity to catch Ye Xiwen as he muste out now, because if he didn¡¯t then that would be equivalent to vition of the sect rules. Once he woulde out, Luo Yifan nned to behead him once and forever and as far as evidence was concerned, who needed that stuff! At this time, Luo Yifan¡¯s brain waspletely overwhelmed with anger and was no longer thinking rationally. Luo Yifan arrived in the front of Hua Menghan and said in a cold voice: ¡°Hua Menghan, I¡¯m asking you onest time, do you admit or not that my sister was killed by Ye Xiwen.¡± Luo Yifan¡¯s terrifying imposing aura came out and tightly locked on Hua Menghan. She withstood such a horrifyingly heavy pressure and her tender body slightly trembling but did not copse, because she possessed some treasures that could resist against this terrifying imposing aura and she soon returned to a normal state. ¡°Luo Fangyi was killed and eaten by devils.¡± Hua Menghan said in a calm and tranquil voice. Although Luo Yifan¡¯s imposing aura was quite terrifying but it was still just an imposing aura. He could dare to openly search for Ye Xiwen in order to kill him but he definitely would never dare to hurt her, otherwise even a true disciple like him would not be able to escape death. ¡°Hmph, if devils killed her then why did not they kill you!¡± Luo Yifan did not believe her words. Luo Fangyi was stronger than Hua Menghan and was strong enough to deal with those devils and could easily kill several of them, but why did she die and Hua Menghan survived, such a lie could only deceive a child. ¡°I don¡¯t know about that, why doesn¡¯t Brother Luo go and ask those devils.¡± Hua Menghan said in a calm tone. ¡°You ...... Hua Menghan, don¡¯t you think that our Luo n cannot get you, I know that your backing is not small, but you better not mess with us!¡± Luo Yifan gritted his teeth and said. He could not use brute force on her because when she had joined the Main Sect, he had been warned by his granduncle that he must never provoke Hua Menghan. That idiot Luo Tian didn¡¯t know about this and had dared to attack Hua Menghan on his sister¡¯smand, but fortunately, he did not seed otherwise it would have endangered the safety of entire Luo n. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Chapter 155 – Versus Luo Yifan Chapter 155 ¨C Versus Luo Yifan Luo n was very much aggrieved because of this matter. How could Luo Tian be such a fool that he dared toy hands on Hua Menghan, but fortunately, he did not seed. Although afterwards, Luo n had to pay a lot just to subside this matter, but it was still better option than the destruction of the entire n. However, Luo Tian had died and Luo n wanted revenge badly and though they could noty hands on Hua Menghan, but they could crush that damned Ye Xiwen! ¡°You think you can protect Ye Xiwen? I¡¯m going to kill him in front of you and let everyone know about the fate of those who dare to anger our Luo n!¡± Luo Yifan looked at Hua Menghan and said in a ferocious manner. ¡°I don¡¯t need others to protect me!¡± Suddenly, a burst of leisurely voice came from a distance and gradually started toe nearer, and soon, a figure appeared in front of everyone, it was none other than Ye Xiwen who was missing for almost a month. Seeing Ye Xiwen, Jing Yannan and other disciples who were familiar with Ye Xiwen exposed faint smiles on their faces, and they also saw that his cultivation had once again be very profound and immeasurably deep, totally unpredictable, and now, they could not even see through his cultivation level. ¡°Good, very good.¡± Seeing Ye Xiwen, an intense killing intention appeared in the heart of Luo Yifan and a cruel smile appeared on his face. Now that Ye Xiwen had appeared on his own ord, he made things easier for Luo Yifan. Luo Yifan did not even ask Ye Xiwen whether he was the one who killed the members of Luo n, because at this time, the intention to kill was storming endlessly in his chest and he needed to kill Ye Xiwen to alleviate this killing intention from his heart. In the world of martial arts, in order to lead a pious life and concentrate on achieving the higher realms, he must discard anger, joy and all other forms of emotions, because it was said that the existence of emotions could easily dominate one¡¯s sanity, but after meeting Ye Xiwen, he had be quite impulsive as if Ye Xiwen was his ultimate nemesis. Luo Yifan immediately calcted and knew that there was a strange rtionship of hatred between him and Ye Xiwen, they were the true adversaries of each other, and he must kill his nemesis, Ye Xiwen. If he did not kill Ye Xiwen, thenter, he would not be able to lead a pious life and the road to practice would also be very difficult. ¡°Don¡¯t you think there¡¯s something wrong with Ye Xiwen¡¯s brain? He knows that Brother Luo wants to kill him but he still dares to appear right in front of him.¡± ¡°What can he do, now the trial has ended and if he does not appear then that would be contrary to the rules of the sect, and by that time, Brother Luo can justifiably use force to deal with him.¡± ¡°Yes, but I can see that Ye Xiwen looks very confident, perhaps there is a degree of certainty in his action.¡± ¡°I think he is trying to buy time until the elders and true disciples appear, at that time, it will be impossible for Brother Luo to kill him.¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen, you should have waited to emergeter until the elders arrive, but now, no one can save you from dying.¡± Luo Yifan looked at Ye Xiwen and said. He was looking at Ye Xiwen as if he was looking at a dead man. ¡°It¡¯s too early to say that now.¡± Ye Xiwen smiled coldly then turned his face towards Hua Menghan and slightly bowed to show his gratitude to her for not betraying him a moment ago. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you asked for it, this time I will so thoroughly kill you, that for eternity, you won¡¯t be able to ever reincarnate.¡± Luo Yifan said and red at Xiwen with his eyes filled with hatred. ¡°If that¡¯s the case then why don¡¯t you try?¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said and with a ¡®ng¡¯, he took out the long de from the scabbard on his back. The Zhen Yuan was glowing above it which suddenly turned into delight and rushed towards Luo Yifan. Ye Xiwen had already reached the acme level of his de technique, and now, the power of the ¡°New moon beheader¡± had gone far beyond his initial power. Perhaps now, his skill of ¡°Cold moon beheader¡± technique had already surpassed the skill of the creator itself. He had already reached the acme level of ¡°New moon beheader¡± which should allow chopping out nine de shadows, but at present, Ye Xiwen no longer rigidly adhered to the ¡°New moon beheader¡± and could readily chop out hundreds of thousands of delights. Luo Yifan waspletely surrounded by the endless barrage of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack, and even if he casted an agility technique, he could not escape. ¡°Hmph, such an insignificant technique can only be used by an insect. I¡¯ll let you witness the might of a genuinely strong master.¡± Luo Yifan sneered, and with a flick of his hand, a sword appeared in his hand and he instantly struck his sword towards the de shadows, spread throughout the sky. ¡°Kuai!¡± It could be said that this sword was simply unmatched, and in an instant, the speed of this sword attack had gone far beyond the speed of lightning. (NT: Kuai = Quick, high-speed) At this moment, it seemed as if the atmosphere had been stabbed and immediately punctured, however the reaction of atmosphere was too slow. His sword had already cut through the atmosphere but it exploded a momentter which obviously showed the insane speed of this attack. ¡°Boom!¡± This sword attack was extremely terrifying, and along with an unparalleled terrifying breath, it instantly punctured the de shadows that were spread everywhere. Luo Yifan was a true master and his experience rted to his martial skills had already risen to a very profound level, to the very extreme, and with only a single nce, he immediately saw through the weakness of Ye Xiwen¡¯s shadow des, and under this sword attack, the delight started to explode everywhere in the sky and both attacks mutually obliterated each other. Endless explosions instantly sent shock waves in all directions. This was a collision between two horrifying forces which caused even the space to distort. However, how could Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength be so simple, in a sh, he chopped out his long de and instantly used new moon beheader, and right after that, he chopped out a second time and maliciously unleashed missing moon beheader which was much more terrifyingpared to the first de attack, faster and much more precise. Almost at that moment, Luo Yifan felt a wave of murderous auraing straight for him and an amazing deqi swept towards him from the air. A trace of surprise appeared on his face because he did not expect that Ye Xiwen would actually be able attack back so quickly, and not just that, this de technique clearly disyed a very level of understanding andprehension and also the conversion between various de skills without the slightest stagnation between sessive de moves. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Luo Yifan was somewhat baffled because he initially thought that this ant-like Ye Xiwen, who was merely a Xiantian level warrior, would be split in half by his sword attack. Luo Yifan instantly struck his sword several times and each of these strikes was inducing mad fluctuations of Lingqi in the atmosphere and in a sh, the most brilliant Swordlight was issued towards Ye Xiwen. The space was immediately distorted and Ye Xiwen¡¯s figure waspletely enveloped by the endless Swordlight. ¡°So fearful, Brother Luo is powerful indeed, this move is really too terrifying!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just like the wrath of a god! With just one sword strike like this, even an entire mountain would be ttened.¡± ¡°He is really worthy of being a true disciple, at once assumes an awe-inspiring pose and unleashes such a horrifying move.¡± The disciples present in the surroundings suddenly eximed, the strength of this sword attack was terrifying and indeed worthy of being used by a true disciple! Xiantian realm and truth realm were separated only by ayer, but ording to the rumors, Ye Xiwen had massacred several masters of Xiantian ninth stage, Xiantian Great realm and even half-step truth level, but everyone thought that Ye Xiwen would absolutely not be able to stop this horrifying move, used by a genuine true disciple. Even the masters of truth level would find it difficult to deal with such an iparably violent and horrifying attack, after all, swordsmen had always been well-known for their strong attacks, let alone, Ye Xiwen was merely a Xiantian level expert. It seemed as if the whole world was coercing on Ye Xiwen, this was the so-called power and influence of the truth realm that could mobilize the world Lingqi just like Zhen Qi, truth level masters could easily manipting the world Lingqi to crush Xiantian level masters. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Numerous huge air-explosions urred, setting off endless sandstorm that blew away everything and event swept away stones with it. The Swordqi spread quickly like the lightning, and formed dense clouds in the sky, like a giant and closed off all the escape routes for Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen had to admit that Luo Yifan was genuinely powerful. In that endless sea of Swordqi, Ye Xiwen¡¯s slim figure seemed like a small boat, swaying with the wind, and it seemed as if he would be submergedpletely any second and get killed. ¡°Well, you can do only this much?¡± Ye Xiwen stopped concealing his imposing aura andpletely released it. A surge of terrifying aura went straight into the sky and there were some of the worldws mixed in, clearly indicating that his terrifying imposing aura wasparable to the masters of truth realm. ¡°What, how can Ye Xiwen possess such a terrifying imposing aura, it is actuallyparable to the truth realm and is definitely not inferior to that of Brother Luo!¡± ¡°How did the news never spread that he has already stepped into the truth realm, if our sect has such a genius then we should have already been informed about this right?¡± ¡°How is this possible? This is simply a miracle, a myth, he has recently joined the Main Sect but he managed to be the chief of inner disciples which was simply a miracle, and now he isparable to the true disciples, this is simply a legend, a myth!¡± ¡°If the news spread out then it will certainly cause a sensation and even the Sect head will be alerted, there are certainly no limits to his future achievements.¡± All of the disciples present there were very surprised, not to mention, Hua Menghan and the others who had already met Ye Xiwen once inside the Mosha territory were even more surprised, as if they had just now witnessed a miracle, especially Hua Menghan. More than a year ago, when she had seen Ye Xiwen, he was only a Houtian level warrior, but in just one year, he grew so terrifyingly powerful, she just could not believe it! She is also a warrior and naturally knew that it was very tough to surmount Xiantian realm, even a genius could not do it so easily, but Ye Xiwen did it in almost a year¡¯s time. It was said that truth realm was a lifetime worth of goal for many disciples, but Ye Xiwen achieved it so easily! The more baffling was the fact that earlier, when Ye Xiwen killed Luo Fangyi, Hua Menghan and her friends had seen that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was actuallyparable to the masters of half-step truth realm! Suddenly, many people were giving dumbfounded looks to Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen shouted and chopped out his long de, and once again, it seemed as if the de shadowspletely filled the entire world, Lingqi started to surge crazily and easily suppressed the Swordlighting towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen¡¯s delight directly crushed the Swordlight attack of Luo Yifan. One could see that in the face of delight, the Swordqi seemed simply helpless. (NT: Swordqi = Swordlight| deqi = delight) Luo Yifan¡¯s sword cultivation was already at a profound level, and his striking power was matchless, but Ye Xiwen was also a matchless de master and his insight of de cultivation was at an even higher level, and much more terrifying, so his de attack was extremely powerfulpared to the sword attack of Luo Yifan. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Chapter 156 – Completely suppressed Chapter 156 ¨C Completely suppressed Tianyuan mirror was hidden in Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and ordinary attacks simply could not hurt him, not to mention, his body had be iparably tough after practicing ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯. Ye Xiwen could unscrupulously attack and sustain attacks as well, disregarding his own safety but Luo Yifan could not be so unscrupulous like him. Although Luo Yifan¡¯s body was very strong, but not so abnormally formidable like Ye Xiwen, and the uniformly powerful attacks would be able to seriously wound him. ¡°Missing moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen summoned the missing moon beheader¡¯s de intention which congealed several de diagrams in the sky that started to emit endless amount of delight in the air which ultimately condensed into a huge delight, and all of a sudden, it went towards Luo Yifan. Very bright and brilliant delight filled the entire atmosphere and rushed through the air drawing dazzling marks in the sky. ¡°Boom!¡± Luo Yifan immediately struck his sword which severely shed with the delight, and suddenly, the tremendous power present in the collision gave rise to mighty shock waves and a giant storm. Luo Yifan was sted away and sent flying directly by the impact of this terrifying power, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body somersaulted several times in the midair and severely fell down on the ground. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Luo Yifan looked incredibly at Ye Xiwen, how could he be so formidable, even if he just stepped into the truth realm, he should not be so powerful, after all, he himself had stepped into the truth realm almost a decade ago, how was he losing to a man who recently stepped into the truth realm! Monster! In the end, what kind of monster was he, how could he possibly be so formidable! (NT: I am using the term monster for evildoer as suggested by some readers) ¡°Monster, you have certainly been possessed by a devil, I am sure about it, you must have ventured into the depths of Mosha territory, and there, you have been possessed by the devil emperor, who wants to subvert my Yi Yuan School!¡± Luo Yifan suddenly shouted in a loud. How could he guess that Ye Xiwen actually possessed a mysterious space as a hidden weapon that helped him inprehending the worldws quickly, and due to that, he was able to achieve the fighting strength of a master of truth realm so fast. Although Luo Yifan stepped into the truth realm almost ten years earlier, but Ye Xiwen had a mysterious space and so long as he kept on burning spirit stones and supplying Lingqi to the mysterious space unceasingly, his understanding would continue to rise exponentially. In thest few days, Ye Xiwen had almostpletely burned his total stock of spirit stones and only a mere thousand spirit stones remained in the stock. Thanks to that, his understanding had increased by leaps and bounds in the past few days, and right now, his fighting strength was even more than that of Luo Yifan. Although at present, Ye Xiwen¡¯s fighting strength had not yet reached the peak of the first stage of truth realm, but it had already surpassed the fighting strength of Luo Yifan. ¡°Shua!¡± As an answer to Luo Yifan¡¯s loud shout, apanied by a sharp piercing sound and disying a magnificent brilliance in the sky, Ye Xiwen chopped out a terrifying delight towards him. This time, Luo Yifan did not show his arrogance, and observed carefully without daring to take Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack head on, and in a sh, he leapt several dozen feet back to escape the range of this de attack. ¡°Boom!¡± The brilliant delight pounded on the ground, directly resulting in a more than ten meters wide and five or six meters deep crater. ¡°In the end, what is the background of this Ye Xiwen, I initially heard that he had beheaded Luo Fangyi which is surprising enough, and now, he is even suppressing a true disciple like Luo Yifan as if it¡¯s a child¡¯s y for him. He truly is a monster!¡± ¡°Brother Luo¡¯s sword technique is considered as the strongest sword technique in the younger generation, but how is a newbie like Ye Xiwen oppressing him!¡± ¡°I agree, this is just way too weird.¡± At this strange scene, many of the spectating disciples secretly cursed in their hearts, but they seemed very amazed on the outside. ¡°He is simply a peerless genius, and his talent is so fearful, in such a short period of time, his cultivation enhanced to such an extent, this is the kind of talent which defies the heaven¡¯s will, in the future, perhaps, he will certainly enter the ranks of one of the four invincible disciples.¡± Originally, everyone thought that if Luo Yifan attacked Ye Xiwen then it would certainly cause his doom, the only way out left for him would be to buy time until the elders and true disciples arrived, otherwise escaping this disaster would be impossible for Ye Xiwen. However, now, even if Luo Yifan was trying his best and going all out, he was still beingpletely suppressed by Ye Xiwen. ¡°Ye Xiwen, I admit defeat and give up on this fight, I will investigate the matter about my sister¡¯s death once again.¡± At this time, Luo Yifan surprisingly said this, but at the same time, a sly look shed in his eyes. The always overbearing and rampant Luo Yifan had actually admitted defeat in front of so many disciples and he waspelled to ascend into the sky after being forced into a corner by Ye Xiwen and had nowhere left to escape. ¡°Ye Xiwen, we cannot let him escape, it is apparent from the look in his eyes that he is nning something to kill you, if you don¡¯t stop him now, he will have a respite and immediatelye back to fight again. This man is strong but also has brains, if we let him escape then it willter lead to a huge hassle.¡± At this time, Ye Mo¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind. ¡°Precisely, this is a very good opportunity, since he is the one who tried to intercept you first, so it¡¯s equally fair for you to use this as a good opportunity and excuse to settle the score with him and no one can say anything.¡± Ye Xiwen had a deadpan look on his face, but he directly chopped out his de, he simply did not waste any time as if Luo Yifan¡¯s words did not have any influence on him! Ye Xiwen was not a dumb person, he knew very well that Luo Yifan was trying to take advantage from this situation so how could he possibly believe such nonsense. Ye Xiwen was chopping his long de one after another and rays of delight scattered throughout the sky, as if the multi-colored sunlight was dazzling the entire sky and the terrifying de attack rushed towards Luo Yifan. Luo Yifan was simply depressed to death in his heart, who would have thought that he would be suppressed by the same ant-like individual he looked down upon. Since his debut in the world of martial arts, Luo Yifan had been ssified as a genius until now, as far as growth rate was considered, and now, he was considered an invincible true disciple, and he undoubtedly possessed a tyrannical strength. He never paid attention to Ye Xiwen and was quite indifferent about his strength, although Ye Xiwen might have killed Luo Fangyi as well as those other masters, but even so, he thought that a half-step truth level master like Ye Xiwen could never be his opponent. Originally, he had always assumed that Ye Xiwen could never be his opponent and could be readily crushed like an ant, but at this moment, this ant hadpelled his arrogant head to be bowed down in submission. He did not know how Ye Xiwen had managed to enhance his cultivation so dramatically in such a short time and his heart waspletely filled with hatred at his current situation. ¡°Ye Xiwen, are you really not going to give face to our Luo n?¡± Luo Yifan shouted while fleeing away from Ye Xiwen. A truth level master could flee extremely fast, his figure almost turned into a blur and instantly disappeared leaving afterimages. He rushed towards the distant horizon and his figure seemed to have left a trail of rainbow on the horizon. ¡°In any case, I have already offended so might as well offend all the way to the very end.¡± Ye Xiwen remained unmoved and said. If there was a possibility, he would like less trouble, of course, he was very much disgusted by Luo Yifan and other arrogant people and he would certainly like to crush their arrogance. He was very much willing to teach a proper lesson to these rich shenanigans, who did not consider people as people, could betray in a blink of an eye and could unreasonably take lives as if there was no value of human life in their eyes. ¡°No matter what you say using that glib tongue of yours, today, don¡¯t even expect to run away from me, all this time, you were searching for me to kill me, now prepare yourself to face consequences!¡± Ye Xiwen said and a cold look appeared on his face. His speed was not slow either and he released several de attacks towards escaping Luo Yifan. The delight pierced through the sky just like a meteor, across the mountains, and went straight towards Luo Yifan as if chasing after him, while a few delights branched off and blocked all of his escape routes. Luo Yifan suddenly roared repeatedly. ¡°Yao Jiuzhou Sword, execute this evil monster!¡± In the hand of Luo Yifan, the sword was suddenly enveloped in endless amount of Zhen Yuan, and it seemed like his whole body had been integrated together with his sword, this was Man-sword unification, which instantly broke open an endless void and went towards the delight. Luo Yifan had already exhausted all his efforts, so he resorted to using his best shot and took direct incarnation of the sword, which seemed to have split the sky and severely collided with the delight. ¡°Boom!¡± An endless st instantly engulfed the entire space and the surrounding space seemed just like the rippling surface of water while the Lingqi also started to shake violently in the atmosphere. ¡°Shabu!¡± ¡°Shabu!¡± ¡°Shabu!¡± Ye Xiwen continued chopping his long de non-stop, one after another, and each time, it seemed as if the whole world would be chopped down into pieces. ¡°Ye Xiwen, today you will die!¡± Luo Yifan¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and his hand holding the sword had also turned bloody as he recklessly hacked his sword. The delight released by Ye Xiwen was hacked and directly scattered in the form of world Lingqi throughout the atmosphere. From afar, Luo Yifan looked like a scarlet ancient killing god who hade to hack down and exterminate the heaven itself. Luo Yifan continued to indiscriminately hack down and scatter the delights released by Ye Xiwen. Whenever he would unleash his sword attack, it seemed as if the whole world would be hacked down and shattered, while a long scarlet Swordqi rushed through the sky which seemed to directly split the world into two halves. A cold look appeared on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face and he instantly chopped out his long de, a golden light shone and an iparably horrifying and fluctuating deqi instantly congealed and suddenly rushed forward, as if prating through the world itself. ¡°Boom!¡± The two attacks fiercely collided and a huge explosion urred and its incredible might instantly caused powerful storms of Lingqi which swept across everything along with it. In the endless turmoil of Lingqi storm, a figure was sted away and was sent flying due to the explosion, it was Luo Yifan who could not withstand the terrifying might of this explosion and was directly sent flying. However, in the next instant, Ye Xiwen had actually arrived in front of him and then rushed ahead of him. How could he be such a tough opponent! Luo Yifan never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually turn out to be such a tough opponent. Luo Yifan¡¯s Swordqi swayed and firmly covered his body in order to protect him and not allow Ye Xiwen toe close. Both attacks collided in the sky and caused a massive explosion, the Swordqi and deqi started to run amuck and wantonly rampaging the surrounding area. The disciples watching from below immediately had to prop up Zhen Yuan in order to protect themselves, so as to avoid getting identally injured, after all, prevention was obviously better than cure. Ye Xiwen sneered but he knew that as the time was passing, Luo Yifan was also falling under the wind gradually. Several small andrge wounds had appeared on the body of Luo Yifan, although he was trying his best to defend, but he was still being cut and injured nonstop by Ye Xiwen. Just when Ye Xiwen was nning to give him a fatal blow, suddenly, a burst of loud shout echoed in the sky. ¡°Stop!¡± A horrifying giant hand descended from the sky, grasped both the delight and Swordqi and instantly destroyed them. Chapter 157 – War of words Chapter 157 ¨C War of words ¡°Stop!¡± A horrifying giant hand descended from the sky, grasped both the delight and Swordqi and instantly destroyed them. Those extremely sharp and terrifying attacks were directly grasped in that big hand and were extinguished without a trace, there simply was no room for any resistance and both attacks were immediately obliterated after getting caught. ¡°What are you two trying to do?¡± A rainbow appeared in the distant sky, and in a sh, an old man in ck clothes came flying and stopped in front of the two men. ¡°Elder Jing Xuan, this Ye Xiwen has been possessed by the devil emperor in the depths of Mosha territory and is basically a devil!¡± Luo Yifan hastily said. ¡°Ah?¡± Elder Jing Xuan looked at Ye Xiwen and said in a cold voice. Ye Xiwen looked at that Elder Jing Xuan and narrowed his eyes, while at this time, Ye Mo¡¯s voice echoed in his mind. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you have to be careful of this old man, I had discovered that he was hiding in a distance ce, and did note out, before I only considered him as the elder who protects the disciples, but when Luo Yifan was trying to bully you a moment ago, he did note out, and now that you have an upper hand, he came out. I think he has some ill intentions.¡± Ye Xiwen secretly nodded in his heart and there was quite a bad look in the eyes of this Elder Jing Xuan. He definitely had ill intentions and was nning to do something bad in the future. ¡°Why don¡¯t you speak?¡± The Elder Jing Xuan asked in a cold voice. ¡°What do I need to say?¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°Elder Jing Xuan, he has nothing to say, he is certainly the spy of those devils.¡± Luo Yifan stubbornly stared at Ye Xiwen with a pernicious look in his eyes. ¡°I also think that he looks very suspicious, look how I use my soul surgery technique to search your soul and uncover all your secrets.¡± Elder Jing Xuan said about the vicious method of soul surgery technique, which was extremely malicious and was so deadly that it was rarely used to interrogate prisoners, unless the prisoner was already condemned, or it was directly used on the caught devil masters, because after the soul surgery technique was used, the entire soul would copse. It was said that the person would go crazy or turn into a fool or directly die. When Luo Yifan heard this, he grinned fiendishly, because soon, Ye Xiwen was going to die! There was a faint thrill and pleasant sensation in his heart! ¡°Who do you think you are? You actually dared to even think about searching my soul!¡± Ye Xiwen coldly stared at that Elder Jing Xuan, although he knew deep in his heart that this Elder Jing Xuan should be a lot stronger than him, but he was not scared even the slightest, ¡°I am nowparable to the truth realm masters and soon going to get promoted as an authentic true disciple, you¡¯re just an elder and share position with me quite a bit, however, you dare to treat me like a devil spy and even mentioned searching my soul, you are really quite audacious.¡± Theplexion of Elder Jing Xuan stayed unchanged, he knew that Ye Xiwen was aware of the truth, but this time, he was already determined that he would not let him off, otherwise a peerless genius like him would be a potential threat in the future. Ye Xiwen must never be allowed to grow, or he might bring a disaster upon him. ¡°Well, you have quite a razor sharp mouth, kid.¡± Elder Jing Xuan sneered and said, ¡°It does not matter even if you have a glib tongue, it will be of no use today because this old man will definitely search your soul.¡± After saying this, Elder Jing Xuan congealed a big hand which was made up of world Lingqi and directly mmed towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Shua!¡± A dazzling delight shed and a shaking deqi was instantly chopped out, Ye Xiwen definitely was not the kind of person who would sit still, and now that he know that other party had ill intentions and wanted to kill him, it was even more impossible for him to ce his own destiny in the hands of others. ¡°Boom!¡± This long deqi was certainly dazzling, just like the stars in a starry sky, and then, it fiercely fell towards that big gasified hand and collided. The gasified big hand was instantly split open and an endless amount of Lingqi dispersed wantonly in the atmosphere. ¡°Old guy, I will sue you in front of the Elders Council and make you die without a burial ground!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted, if he was just an inner disciple then no would bother listening to him, but at present, he wasparable to the true disciples, though his inner state had not yet stepped into the truth realm, but he possessed the strength of truth realm, so what was the difference between him and other true disciples! The Elder Jing Xuan did not n to stop instead he started to put an even greater intensity in his attacks in order to directly kill Ye Xiwen. ¡°Stop!¡± A loud shout came from the sky and a sharp Swordqi fell directly from the sky and instantly eliminated the attack of Elder Jing Xuan. Everyone looked up and saw that Lin Zhantian was flying down leaving a trail of rainbow in the sky and started slowly descending from the clouds and said to Jing Xuan: ¡°Brother Jing Xuan Brother, what made you attack a disciple?¡± Ling Zhantian was slowlying more and more near. At this time, Jing Xuan suddenly cursed in his heart at the unexpected appearance of Lin Zhantian, but he did not continue to attack Ye Xiwen, because now that Lin Zhantian was here, he knew that he could definitely not make a misstep. ¡°Brother Lin, I suspect that he has been possessed by a devil and is actually their spy.¡± Jing Xuan answered. ¡°Do you have evidence?¡± Lin Zhantian said. ¡°Of course, in such a short time, this Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation has actually enhanced by a great deal, now, he is actuallyparable to the true disciples, this is really very suspicious and a strong reason to suspect that he is a spy of devils!¡± At this time, Luo Yifan said in a loud voice. ¡°This is such a bullshit reason, well I can say the same about you. I can easily suspect that the dog and pig like people of Luo n, who are actually able to upy high positions and are able to practice to such great extent, are certainly possessed by the devils, maybe colluding together with them in order to subvert the rule of Yi Yuan School.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Luo Yifan shouted and it seemed as if he would once again start fighting with Ye Xiwen. ¡°It just so happens, you just now tried to kill me to settle my old ounts with Luo n, and I¡¯d like to see how the Elders Council intends to say about this matter which considers the life and death of a truth level disciple. Your Luo n intended to intercept and kill me in the Mosha territory, so Luo n will have to give a proper exnation.¡± Ye Xiwen smiled and said in a cold voice. He knew that reasoning was sometimes very important, but sometimes, it was not worth mentioning. If Ye Xiwen had been killed here, why would Luo Yifan give exnation to anyone? It was not important! Nobody would bother about a dead man, an inner disciple, and try to mess with Luo n! But now, since Ye Xiwen did not die, the situation waspletely different! Elder Council was basically the ruling ce, because of the present of sect head, Tangshan elder and the leaders of various peaks in the sect, many high level experts would basically enter the depths of space and time and stay there all year round and would not easilye out, therefore the lower level elders were made responsible for handling matters in their absence, of course, Elder Council was only alerted when the matter involved elders or true disciples. Although, right now, Ye Xiwen was not a true disciple, but his fighting strength wasparable to a truth level master and this was a sufficient reason to alert the Elders Council. Luo Yifan¡¯splexion suddenly turned unsightly, if it was before that Ye Xiwen had dared to speak in front of him, he would have crushed him with just a p, but now was not the same, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength increased by leaps and bounds, to an extent that even he did not know the upper limit of his strength. He could not beat Ye Xiwen, neither could he talk back, all he was doing was giving a cold look to Ye Xiwen. ¡°Well, well, well, you dare to frequently shout in front of me, he is really a devil, and is definitely under the control of a devil!¡± Elder Jing Xuan shouted, the disciples standing in the surroundings were also hearing their conversation. Immediately, several doubts appeared in their hearts, it was no wonder, after all Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength increased way too fast, far more than the fastest point they could ever imagine. After Mosha territory trial finished, his strength actually exceeded that of all core disciples, and even a true disciple like Luo Yifan was not his match anymore. They had seen with their own eyes that even a true disciple like Luo Yifan had beenpletely cornered by Ye Xiwen and if Elder Jing Xuan had not interfered then perhaps, things would have been very dangerous for Luo Yifan. Ye Xiwen even had the audacity to actually challenge a super master like Jing Xuan who was actually at the third stage of truth realm. Was he really possessed by a devil! ¡°Elder Jing Xuan, this matter of being controlled by the devil cannot be taken lightly and we must avoid hasty judgment, if ording to what you said, Luo Yifan actually tried to intercept and kill the peerless genius of our Yi Yuan School on the spot, I think he was able to do such a lunatic thing because it is actually him who is under the control of devils.¡± Lin Zhentian lightly said but it was actually in an undeniable tone. ¡°How can you say that? Luo Yifan has performed many merits in our Yi Yuan School, how can he possibly be a devil spy?¡± Elder Jing Xuan gritted his teeth and said, he certainly knew that their so-called evidence was simply irrational, but he never thought that Lin Zhentian would actually not give him face and would so easily debunk this affair. ¡°Today¡¯s matter is not over yet, it won¡¯t end until your Luo n gives me an exnation about their actions.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said. ¡°If there was a mistake, it was the mistake of the situation itself.¡± Elder Jing Xuan finally said in a somewhat rxed manner, he knew that once this matter went too far and reached the ears of the Elders Council, it would mean a lot of trouble because those old guys held major power in the sect. ¡°Then in ordance to what you say, I can also kill him when I get an opportunity, and when asked for an exnation, I can say that it¡¯s not my mistake, it¡¯s the mistake of the situation itself.¡± Ye Xiwen said in an unforgiving manner. ¡°You, do not change the subject, now you want others to give an exnation, why don¡¯t you exin how your cultivation suddenly increased by leaps and bounds and that too so fast!¡± Elder Jing Xuan mored and did not allow Ye Xiwen to change the subject, but he himself managed to change the subject from Luo Yifan to Ye Xiwen, by asking about the reason behind his bizarre cultivation growth. ¡°Hmph, why do I need to exin it to you? Who do you think you are? To me, you are no different than a pig who cannot understand my practice speed.¡± Ye Xiwen rambled and simply wasn¡¯t afraid of him, because he knew that Yi Yuan School was not going to pursue this matter, even those true disciples and elders kept many secrets from their fortuitous encounters and adventures, so long as they did not harm the integrity of the sect, Yi Yuan School would not try to investigate into their secrets. ¡°Brother Jing Xuan, this matter is not something you and I can solve. Luo Yifan tried to intercept Ye Xiwen and I¡¯ll report this to the Elder Council, even if Ye Xiwen also falls under suspicion, the Elder Council will pass the final judgment, you must know that it simply does not fall under your jurisdiction.¡± Lin Zhentian said in a cold voice. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Now I will focus on regr chapters. The queue is finally over!! :D) Chapter 158 – Qingfeng Mountain’s origins Chapter 158 ¨C Qingfeng Mountain¡¯s origins ¡°Brother Jing Xuan, this matter is not something you and I can solve. Luo Yifan tried to intercept Ye Xiwen and I¡¯ll report this to the Elder Council, even if Ye Xiwen also falls under suspicion, the Elder Council will pass the final judgment, you must know that it simply does not fall under your jurisdiction.¡± Lin Zhentian said in a cold voice. ¡°It is time that peoplee to know that they cannot bully the people of our Qingfeng Mountain vein.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Zhantian said to Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen did not hesitate and followed Lin Zhantian, and in a sh, both of them disappeared into the horizon. Luo Yifan looked at their leaving figures and his face immediately flushed with anger, he had never hated someone so much in his entire life, he determined in his heart that Ye Xiwen must be cut to pieces. Standing on one side, theplexion on Elder Jin Xuan face did not look good, he was contemting countermeasures because if this matter was referred to the Elders Council then things would no longer be so simple in the end. Ye Xiwen was flying behind Lin Zhantian, and in a while, they soon crossed a very far distance. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you really have my admiration.¡± Lin Zhantian said. Ye Xiwen smiled, a rare embarrassed look appeared on his face. Lin Zhantian was his elder and seemed to have a great rtionship with his father, and not just that, he had repeatedly saved him on several asions, so Ye Xiwen felt very rxed in front of him. Ye Xiwen was not as reserved in front of him as he used to be in front of others! Not to mention, Ling Zhantian had saved him many times! ¡°I do not think so.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a polite manner but this was obviously not true, he knew very well that both his cultivation and strength had reached a terrifying level during the time he spent in Mosha territory, which far exceeded his own expectations. Although he had not yet set foot into the truth realm, but it was only a matter of time, he believed that he would be able to achieve it very soon. ¡°Your father had told me earlier that you suddenly got enlightenment one day, but I did not think that your cultivation will reach all the way to the truth realm in such a short time.¡± Lin Zhantian said with a smile. ¡°There are rumors that ancients experts used to suddenly get enlightenment and their cultivation soared instantly, previously I considered those rumors as myths and legends, but now after seeing you, I have toe to believe, that maybe, people like that actually existed?¡± Ye Xiwen smiled but did not speak, because he knew that it was not the result of enlightenment. It was actually the mysterious space in his mind that was actually the root cause behind his cultivation increasing by leaps and bounds. But when his father had asked him, he casually said that it was due to the enlightenment, and it became the best excuse to cover up his secret because enlightenment was actually a very difficult to exin or understand. There were a lot of unexinable things in this world and gaining enlightenment was a way to open the door to understand these things, but it was very hard to achieve. ¡°You are very fortunate and you must cherish it.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°But in spite of your peerless talent, so long as you think that you are doing the right thing and want help from this old guy, remember I am still alive and would certainly lend a hand, I can also provide shelter to a junior like you if you are ever in danger.¡± Ye Xiwen smiled, Lin Zhantian was a talent from over one hundred years ago, and as a true master, his life was only just starting. Comparing with the life span of an ordinary human, he was just like a 20 years old guy. However, Lin Zhantian was a 100 year old genius and was actually able to reach the peak of third stage of truth realm. It could be said that this was a very high achievement. As far as Ye Xiwen¡¯s perception of cultivation level was concerned, now that his fighting strength increased dramatically and reached all the way to the truth realm, the cultivation level of other people no longer appeared blurred to him, as it used to be in the past. Truth level masters were very enigmatic and it was difficult to ascertain their strengths, but now, their strength or cultivation level no longer looked so unfathomable to Ye Xiwen. Previously, Ye Xiwen always thought that the ancestor of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, Lin Zhantian, was a Xiantian level master and must be at the peak of Xiantian ninth stage, but this time, he was able topletely understand that he was actually a truth level master, in fact, he was at the peak of truth third stage and was much stronger than Elder Jing Xuan. So, when Elder Jing Xuan had seen Lin Zhantianing, he tactfully decided to pull back his hands because he knew that he was not a match of Lin Zhantian. ¡°During this time, you have developed a lot.¡± Lin Zhantian was talking about the time period, during which, Ye Xiwen hade to the Main Sect and continued to cause uproars throughout the sect. As the youngest son of an old friend, he was very concerned about him, not to mention, he also wanted that Ye Xiwen must focus on practice, ¡°As long as you show enough potential and perform enough merits for the sect, Luo n won¡¯t be able to touch you.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, he also knew that ording to the notion of Yi Yuan School, the most important thing was talent and ability, as well as strength. Wasn¡¯t this so-called Luo n running amuck because of its strength? Simrly, if Ye Xiwen disyed exceptional strength and enough talent, then the sect would have admiration for him, at that time, Luo n would naturally not be so reckless. ¡°It is my fault that I did not make things clear in the beginning. I did not expect that your strength would increase so fast that you would actually achieve the strength of truth realm.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°Although our Qingfeng Mountain veins are not very strong, but it has some influence, and, the founder of our Qingfeng Mountain vein is among the group of Taishang elders.¡± Ye Xiwen was surprised a moment, he did not expect that the founder of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school was actually a Taishang elder, this was far beyond his expectation, one must know that there were very few Taishang elders in Yi Yuan Schools, and not many of the sub-school were founded by Taishang elders, except the three major sub-school, there were only five or six sub-schools, founded by a Taishang elder, and without exception, all of these sub-schools were considered the most formidable among all of the sub-schools. The Qingfeng Mountain sub-school could only be regarded as a medium level sub-school among so many sub-schools, so Ye Xiwen never thought that a medium level sub-school had actually been founded by a Taishang elder. However, if Qingfeng Mountain did not have the strong backing of Yi Yuan School then how they could even secure Blood Yuan fruit and other material treasures, they would already have been robbed long ago. ¡°Teacher ancestor, his holiness, is very satisfied from your performance.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°All these years, the arrogance of the people of Luo n has really crossed the limit and gone too far, they dragged you in such a situation, not to mention, you are not at wrong and your actions are supported by right reasons, if people of Luo n are not affable then our Qingfeng Mountain vein is not soft persimmon either.¡± Lin Zhantian lightly said but his tone was unquestionably overbearing, justifying the influence of Qingfeng Mountain vein, not to mention, it was obvious from Lin Zhantian¡¯s exnation that Qingfeng Mountain vein would never allow others to hurt their disciple. Yi Yuan School was like a crisscross of an organization and had several factions, a faction was also an organization with its own set of disciples, and, these disciples also belonged to top ten peaks, then they had rtionships with their respective sub-schools as well, and so on. Ye Xiwen was the star of Qingfeng Mountain, even if he now belonged to the Main Sect, but it would never change the fact that he came from Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, he was a disciple of Main Sect, but he was also a disciple of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school, he enjoyed the blessings of the seniors of Qingfeng Mountain but also must take the responsibility to look after theter generations. There were all kinds ofplicated rtions and if one wanted to be a leader, one would have to spend a lot of time sorting out these rtionships, regting conflicts between these factions, and in the future, Ye Xiwen did not want to spend most of his time sorting out these problems and rtionships. ¡°Before, I also wanted to let you grow freely so I did not bring you with me to meet him, but now I think, you can go ahead and make a contact in advance, I will take you to meet the founder.¡± Lin Zhantian said, ¡°You must be very surprised knowing about the semnce of our vein right?¡± Lin Zhantian read the surprised look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking at the moment. He somewhat sighed with emotion, in the past, he had a simr surprised reaction like Ye Xiwen when he hade to know about the true strength of Qingfeng Mountain vein, there were a lot of people in Yi Yuan School, who did not know about this secret. ¡°Our vein is rather special, it¡¯s not the same as the other one, because we are rtively low-keypared to them!¡± Lin Zhantianughed and said, ¡°So people outside do not know that we are in this vein, even the disciples of our own Qingfeng Mountain vein do not anything about this secret vein, because only those who have reached the truth realm are considered the members of this secret vein, but most of these truth level members are in the depths of space and time and practicing, they don¡¯te out much often.¡± (NT: There are actually two veins of Qingfeng Mountain sub-school. First one is weak and known to everyone, second is a secret vein which epts only truth level disciples from Qingfeng Mountain as members.) ¡°In fact, the founder of our vein was actually the closing disciple of the patriarch of Yi Yuan School, when he got old, he handed his legacies down to his closing disciple, this continued for generations, but we have always been rtively low-key, slowly working in the shadows.¡± Lin Zhantian said. (NT: Closing disciples =st disciple of a master.) Seeing the confused look on Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, Lin Zhantian began to tell Ye Xiwen about the origin of this vein. The founder of Qingfeng Mountain vein was actually the youngest closing disciple of Yi Yuan School¡¯s patriarch, who was already reaching the final years of his life. After his skill enhanced, he left Yi Yuan School and went out. Actually, at that time, the governance of Yi Yuan School was in the hands of the other senior closing disciples of the patriarch. The ten great disciples had firmly grasped full control over the entire Yi Yuan School and did not want to wee him, after all, if he joined then it would certainly disrupt the existing equilibrium of power and they did not want that to happen. Qingfeng Mountain vein¡¯s founder was not willing to start a conflict with his fellow brothers and also had no interest in the struggle for power, so he left the Main Sect and went to the Qingfeng Mountain, where he established the Qingfeng Mountain vein and handed down all his techniques and legacies, taught by the patriarch of Yi Yuan School himself, and it now existed as the branch of Yi Yuan School till present. Ye Xiwen also came to understand the reason that Qingfeng Mountain vein maintained a low-key because of the other ten main veins, because they would be scared that Qingfeng Mountain vein would be extremely strong and might take away their share, so this was for the best of all. However, Ye Xiwen finally understood that no wonder there were so many simrities between Qingfeng Mountain sub-school and Yi Yuan School¡¯s Main Sect, and it was also able to monopolize a treasure like Blood Yuan fruit for so many years. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: Queue is open for sponsored chapters. Chapter 159 and 160 will be regr chapters.) Chapter 159 – Conference of elders Chapter 159 Conference of elders Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know where they were heading, was just following Lin Zhantian to the depths of Yi Yuan School to meet the founder of Qingfeng Mountain veins. Within a deep space of Tianfeng of Yi Yuan School, the space was very small and was only able to amodate arge pce, and inside the pce, there was an office where high-level officials of Yi Yuan School would gather to have discussions on various important matters. In a giant conference room, a circr round table was ced in the middle, there were many elders seated around the round table. At the midpoint of the round table, a white robed middle-aged man was sitting. One would be surprised to see that this man¡¯s facial features looked very ordinary and very amiable, but all of the elders present there knew that they must never dare to underestimate him. Because he was the head of Yi Yuan School, Wu Potian, the supreme leader of Yi Yuan School, who held the fate of people of Yi Yuan School in his grasp. Wu Potian nced at everyone present there, among the elders, there were the merit elder, penalty elder and many other elders hade to participate in this conference and all of them held high positions in Yi Yuan School, were extremely strong, in fact, even the weakest among them was a super master of Truth ninth stage, and there were few who were already in the legendary realm like Wu Potian. Although they were not among the highest cultivation group of people in Yi Yuan School, but there was no doubt that this group of people held the fate of a lot of people in Yi Yuan School. ¡°As we all know, ten dayster, on the ¡®Qianji Ind¡¯ in the East China Sea, a meeting of the warriors of several major forces is going to take ce, including our Yi Yuan School.¡± Wu Potian nced at the crowd and lightly said. ¡°Yes, we have received their invitation, and also received the news that the imperial family is also rushing there.¡± A penalty elder said. ¡°Well, this time the imperial family thinks that other people do not know the secret, in fact, how can we not know? They just want to use this devil invasion as an opportunity to form an allied force, then the four sects will have join forces under the leadership of royal family and that wouldplete the real reunification.¡± The merit elder said with a disdained look on his face. ¡°This is something that even the founding emperor failed to achieve and now this young emperor actually wants to do so, what a joke!¡± ¡°Although we are not afraid of the royal family, but we really don¡¯t have an alternative. This emperor is considered as an outstanding personality of this generation and relies on the strength of Dragon qi, although he is less than a hundred years old, but he already possesses unfathomable skill, and I am afraid, his strength is actuallyparable to the legendary masters! No wonder he is ambitious enough to n and make something work that even thete emperor couldn¡¯t achieve.¡± Wu Potian continued to exin. ¡°The intentions of other three forces are still unknown, so this time, being the team leader, you must be careful, Wang Meixing.¡± There was a man sitting nearby Wu Potian, and one would be surprised to find that he had an appearance of a twenty year old boy, looked very charming, and even had somewhat seductive demeanor, but he was a man. At this time, there was a malignant look on his face, Wang Meixing looked charming and pretty, but he was actually a very vicious person, it was hard to guess how many devil masters he had personally killed and his cultivation had already reached the legendary realm, no wonder he was worthy of being the deputy head of Yi Yuan School. ¡°If they dare to stretch their dog paws randomly, I would love to dare and chop them off.¡± Wang Meixing said in a murderous and imposing tone, but still looked extremely charming, though he was the owner of a manly voice. ¡°This time, we are getting a very good opportunity to disy the formidable strength of our Yi Yuan School.¡± Wu Potian lightly said, ¡°Especially among inner disciples, there is a particrly good seed.¡± ¡°Yes, Ye Xiwen, I know, but this Ye Xiwen can also stir up trouble, not much time has passed since he joined the Main Sect but he has already offended so many people, and he has also killed a lot of elite disciples, including many of the elite core disciples.¡± At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in brown robes said. ¡°This person is not just an evildoer, but is also a scourge, it is best to eradicate him as early as possible!¡± The brown-robed man continued to speak: ¡°I also know that in such a short time, the cultivation of this kid has advanced by leaps and bounds, I suspect that he is actually a devil spy who hase to subvert our Yi Yuan School.¡± ¡°Tian Wushuang, what you are saying is wrong.¡± At this time, a purple-robed old man sitting next to the brown-robed man said, ¡°ording to what you say, from now onwards, our Yi Yuan School cannot have peerless geniuses in the future, because as long as the genius is an evildoer, we will consider that he has been under the control of devils and eradicate him, then how will our Yi Yuan School develop like this?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t our Yi Yuan School pursuing peerless talents such as Ye Xiwen? Natural, high and absolute talent, maybe in the future, he will reach the level of the four invincible disciples.¡± The purple-robed old man continued, ¡°I have not seen such an outstanding talent ever in my life, and you want to eradicate such a disciple. Tian Wushuang, I know you are very close to the Luo n, but you are willing to give up on such a talent for the personal gain of Luo n, you do not deserve to work as an elder of our sect.¡± The purple-robed man bluntly said without reservation, he was the penalty elder of Yi Yuan School and was in charge of the penalty pce, he was an upright man and never stooped to ttery, and nothing was hidden from his eyes, neither was he the type of person who would ignore these matters. ¡°What did you say, how dare you insult me you stubborn donkey!¡± Tian Wushuang suddenly got up from his seat and said in an angry voice. ¡°So what if I did? Luo n is radically a nest of snakes, it has been tyrannical and domineering all these years, but that was not enough for them, now they want to hurt Ye Xiwen, do not think that I don¡¯t know, it was the Luo n that stirred up trouble first, it deserves to be punished, it is simply like a cancer, deeply rooted in our Yi Yuan School and must be cut off once and forever.¡± The penalty elder said in a cold voice. ¡°You old thing, I am not the one who is confused, but it¡¯s actually you who is not aware of things. He has continued to secretly massacre the disciples of our sect and you don¡¯t even know about all this!¡± Tian Wushuang said with killing intent shing in his eyes, he had stood alongside Luo n and tantly supported the banner of Luo n in Yi Yuan School for so many years and held deep rtionship with them, how could he take it lightly when Luo n was being used in front him? ¡°Do you have evidence?¡± The penalty elder said in an superficial manner, ¡°But, disciples of Yi Yuan School had spotted Luo Yifan intercepting Ye Xiwen and this is conclusive evidence, such a guy must be punished, otherwise, where is the dignity of thews of our Yi Yuan School?¡± ¡°You old thing, you think that I do not know, you just want to hinder the influence of Chu Jingcai, you know that Luo n gives full support to him, and now you are using this matter as an excuse to disrupt the influence of Chu Jingcai because you are a supporter of Huang Luochen!¡± Tian Wushuang pointed his finger at the penalty elder and said in an unrestrained manner. Other elders did not say anything, because the matter involved two of the four strongest true disciples. These so-called four strongest true disciples were referred to as Chu Jingcai, Huang Luochen, Shui Yanluo and Qi Feifan. Although, all of the true disciples were basically eligible topete for the position of the head, but there were so many peoplepeting for just one position, so it was obvious that not just anyone could be a head, so only a small portion of true disciples, who really possessed the ability, strength and influence, were able topete for the position of the head. And, in this generation of disciples, there were the so-called four strongest true disciples, all of them were extremely strong and had already entered half-step into the legendary realm, so basically, they were only one small step away from stepping into the legendary realm and be invincible masters. Even among the younger generation of disciples throughout the Great Yue state, they were considered among the top, these four individuals had always been considered as people who would most likely be the head someday, and even if not, they could easily be the leaders of strong veins. When these four true disciples wouldpete for the position of the head, many elders and even the Taishang elders, all would ce their bets, in favor of their own favorite candidates, and of course, they won¡¯t use spirit stones to ce their bets but their entire being. (NT: Entire being means their personal vote.) The candidate with clear support would be the head and build his own faction along with these elders and Taishang elders. These elders and Taishang elders had extraordinary influence in the sect and once they would unequivocally support someone, it would naturally be an enormous boost for him. They would not easily bet, but once they did, that would mean they had really recognized him as the head, and then they would also give full support to him, because from the moment they bet, their destinies got linked together with the one they betted on. Once they bet in someone¡¯s favor in order to help him win the title of head, they actually became his followers and would stay alongside him even if he ended up losing, but if he won, they would also get extraordinary benefits. This Tian Wushuang was actually one of the supporters of Chu Jingcai, and at this time, he was not scared to disclose it in front of everyone and directly shouted. Because the entire Luo n, including Luo Yifan, was actually the supporter of Chu Jingcai, and their motive was understandable since none of their own members couldpete for the position of head. Although, the ability and wisdom of Luo Yifan were quite good, but his strength was still far behind that of the four strongest true disciples, not to say, hecked talent as well as strength whenpared to them. The strength of these four disciples was almostparable to that of the Taishang elders. Luo n was aware of this so it decided to give full support to Chu Jingcai. All of these four true disciples were not ordinary people, following them naturally meant getting a lot of benefits, Luo n was getting a lot of advantage by supporting Chu Jingcai. During the incident of Hua Menghan, head was extremely angry, that Luo n had actually dared to attack his closing disciple, wasn¡¯t this equivalent to provoking him, the head of entire sect? Afterward, Chu Jingcai personally went into action and finally settled this matter, although he had to pay a huge price, but Luo n was saved thanks to him. The penalty elder was a supporter of Huang Luochen, so at this time, he was using Luo Yifan, just to chop off one of the supporting arms of Chu Jingcai. Everyone was aware of what was going on between these two elders, but they were unwilling to interfere, especially those who supported the other two disciples. They simply nned to stay on the sidelines and silently watch this scene. (To be continued) Chapter 160 – Senior Ye! Chapter 160 ¨C Senior Ye! Everyone looked at Wu Potian, they did not know what he was thinking, after all he was the head and sole ruler of Yi Yuan School, he could make decisions regarding the matters of Yi Yuan School, and even the Taishang elder could not directly interfere with his decisions. ¡°Ye Xiwen won¡¯t be eradicated, I believe everybody is aware of his talent that can be said as absolutely rare, our Yi Yuan School needs talented people like him, not to mention, he has notmitted any mistakes. Tian Wushuang, you go tell Luo n that from now on wards, they are not allowed to intercept Ye Xiwen.¡± Wu Potian said in a calm manner but his words were like the final decree in the sect, and with this, the matter was finally over. ¡°Head, this Ye Xiwen is extremely arrogant and he even ruthlessly kills the people of his own sect, taking his peerless talent into consideration, if we allow him to grow stronger then he would certainly bring disaster.¡± Tian Wushuang said to validate his point. ¡°Then ording to what you said, Luo n is the biggest evil, they openly murdered one of my disciples, it is an influential n that openly does evil deeds, and I presume everyone is aware of that.¡± At this time, the criminalw elder suddenly said. ¡°Well, the matter arrived here and everyone has shared their opinions and views.¡± It seemed as if Wu Potian didn¡¯t want to continue the discussion over this matter and continued to say...... ¡ª¡ª Ye Xiwen came out from the mysterious space present in the depths of Yi Yuan School and was flying through the void, it seemed like he was treading on a rainbow, he did not know that the matter rted to him was being discussed in a special conference of elders. Although he had said that he would go the Elders Council, butter, he had to go meet the founder of Qingfeng Mountain vein. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t know how Luo Yifan would put this matter in front of everyone, though it was him who had vited the rules of sect and openly intercepted Ye Xiwen in front of many witnesses, but Luo Yifan had been unable to hurt him. So, even if he is convicted for intercepting Ye Xiwen, he would receive small punishment! ¡°Ye Xiwen, don¡¯t expect that Yi Yuan School would give you justice, I tell you, don¡¯t keep your hopes high.¡± Ye Mo appeared on his shoulder and said. ¡°I think that Luo Yifan is an absolutely petty guy, if you do not look for him, he will look for opportunities to deal with you.¡± ¡°You mean strike first and gain the upper hand?¡± Ye Xiwen asked and narrowed his eyes. People who were familiar with him knew very well that when Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes, it often meant that his heart was overflowing with killing intention. (NT: xi¨¡n xi¨¤ sh¨¯u w¨¦i qi¨¢ng: strike first and gain the upper hand (idiom used in martial arts)) ¡°Yes, this world is like that, counting on others is pointless, you must strike first and gain the upper hand. If he can look for you in order to intercept you, why cannot you?¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°You humans do not pay attention to the fact that proper behavior is based on reciprocity, if you don¡¯t return the favor now, when will you?¡± (NT: l¨« sh¨¤ng w¨£ng l¨¢i: proper behavior is based on reciprocity (idiom)) ¡°But, Luo Yifan is now at the gathering ce of Luo n, attacking him there may be a bad idea.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°He cannot stay there for a lifetime, sooner orter, we will find his trail and then you can cut weeds and eliminate the roots.¡± Ye Mo said and smiled, the smile reallyplimented his small stature, made him look sort of sly but cute. (NT: zh¨£n c¨£o ch¨² g¨¥n: To cut weeds and eliminate the roots (idiom)) Ye Xiwen knew that Ye Mo was right, at this time, he would easily seed in intercepting and killing Luo Yifan, anyway he was not going to patch up with Luo n and neither would they let him off. He could say for sure that right now, Luo Yifan was certainly plotting against him somewhere. It could be said that Luo Yifan was really a big source of trouble, and if not resolved quickly, then perhaps it would lead to many major problems in the future. ¡°Besides killing Luo Yifan, the most urgent task is to practice and have a breakthrough into the truth realm as soon as possible, so long as you can step into the truth realm, then that Luo Yifan will certainly not be your opponent, and it won¡¯t even take few moves to behead him.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°Mosha territory should be a very good ce to hone my skills, unfortunately at present, I¡¯m just an inner disciple and I don¡¯t have the privilege to go inside.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Originally, Ye Xiwen intended to first focus on having a breakthrough and directly stepping into the truth realm to be a true disciple, and after bing a true disciple, he could freely ess Mosha territory, at that time, he could find those truth-level devils and behead them, in that case, Ye Xiwen should be able to quickly enhance his cultivation in the truth realm and his fighting strength would beparable with the masters of Truth second stage and he might even be able to behead them. In fact, he would also be able to easily fight with a Truth third stage master like Elder Jing Xuan and suppress him during the fight. At present, Ye Xiwen¡¯s fighting strength wasparable to the strength of truth level masters, but if he could break into the truth realm, then there would be a tremendous enhancement in his strength. But whether it was Lin Zhantian, or the founder of Qingfeng Mountain vein, they all felt that for now, Ye Xiwen should not step into the truth realm, moreover the sect was also hoping that Ye Xiwen shouldn¡¯t step into the truth realm for the time being. And the reason was simple, Ye Xiwen was going to participate in thepetition among five major forces of Great Yue state, and to put it bluntly, in this gathering of major forces, a mutual show of strength was going to take ce, the true disciples of these five forces would being from all around to participate in the contest, and they would ultimately determine each other¡¯s strength. There was also an old rule that the five forces must show mutual restraint and try not to create a situation that might lead to eruption of arge-scale tangled warfare, thispetition was only a way to ascertain each other¡¯s strength, so each force would try to bring its strongest disciples to show off its strength in front of others. Ye Xiwen joined the Main Sect, and in a short time, his fighting strength enhanced dramatically and reached all the way up to the truth realm, which also gave him a chance to represent Yi Yuan School in the uingpetition, and he was formidable enough to easily sweep away the disciples of inner and core rank like it was nothing, so in thepetition, Yi Yuan School would gain a big face in front of other forces thanks to him! At that time, the sect would giverge-scale incentives and rewards to him, but if Ye Xiwen had a breakthrough and stepped into the truth realm, then he would no longer be regarded as an inner disciple, he would be a true disciple and would also have to fight with true disciples in thepetition, in short, he would no longer be the outstanding existence anymore, he would only be a bottom level true disciple. There was no doubt that it was good for him to wait for now, but for Ye Xiwen, it could have been a rapid increase of strength in a short period, because he could easily face those truth level devils with the help of the suppression of Tianyuan mirror and he could also challenge several devil masters, Mosha territory was definitely a good ce to practice, but he couldn¡¯t go there. And most importantly, Ye Xiwen had already consumed almost all of the spirit stones from the stock in his storage ring, leaving only a meager amount of 1000 spirit stones, and in addition to that, his cultivation had already increased to such an extent that he was going to require a massive amount of spirit stones. Now, he needed top grade spirit stones to withstand the high rate of consumption. However, the sect distributed top-grade spirit stones only to the true disciples, and that too once in a month. Moreover, the missions could also reward top-grade spirit stones, but these missions were generally top ranked and were only meant for true disciples, because they were often very dangerous, and non-truth level disciples would simply die on these missions. So these extremely dangerous missions used to have strength requirements. Ye Xiwen was caught in a deadlock and only after participating in thispetition anding back from there, he would be able to step into the truth realm and break free from this deadlock. However as far as Ye Xiwen was concerned, it could be said that within this period of time, he actually had no means to rapidly increase his strength. Just like the main goal of Houtian masters was to strengthen the body, and for Xiantian masters, it was to transform Zhen Yuan, the main goal of truth level masters was to interact with the world Lingqi, and a truth level master could achieve resonance with the world Lingqi by increasing their perception of the world. In other words, the truth realm focused more on umtion of understanding of the world. For the martial arts practitioners, the body and the understanding of heavenlyws were two indispensable parts in their practice. The body carried soul, and the world of martial arts practice was like a vast sea, the soul must cross the sea, the body was like a ship, and if the ship was sturdy and tough, there would be a higher possibility of crossing the sea. The Houtian realm and Xiantian realm could only be regarded as initial preparations for beginning the journey to cross the sea. There was shipbuilding and reinforcement until the martial artist reached the truth realm, after stepping into the truth realm, the person would learn swimming, reading nautical chart, sailing a ship and many other necessary tasks that might be required during the journey. Legendary realm was the real start of the journey. Ye Xiwen had alreadypleted the umtion of Houtian and Xiantian realm, afterwards, he had also gained some of the initial perception of the heavenlyws, but at this stage, the mysterious space would disy a greater ability, because so long as there were enough spirit stones, he would be able toprehend heavenlyws inside the mysterious space, and then, his fighting strength would be far more than others, he would be ten times or even hundred times stronger than others. At this stage, Ye Xiwen had the advantage and could be far more strongerpared to others in a short time, but unfortunately, at the most critical time, he did not have spirit stones. For Ye Xiwen, it was like his ship ran out of fuel, and now, he could only go forward at the speed of a sailing ship. However, he didn¡¯t have an option because one monthter, he must go to the Qianji Ind, located in the East China Sea, and participate in the gathering of warriors. Thinking too much was pointless, Ye Xiwen left the depths of Yi Yuan School and went straight towards the station of Qian Yu faction, but he never thought that at this time, the Qian Yu courtyard looked just like a busy city market ce, and was no longer an infrequently visited ce as it used to be. A crowd of many inner disciples and core disciples had gathered outside the gate of Qian Yu faction¡¯s station and they were trying to squeeze inside, even the outer disciples were simply looking at the crowd of these inner and core disciples with envious looks in their eyes. Ye Xiwen took a quick look and saw two senior disciples standing as gatekeepers at the gate of Qian Yu faction, maintaining order, while at this time, the new disciples had dignified appearances and there were proud looks on their faces as they were looking at the crowd of inner and core disciples. What was going on? Ye Xiwen felt somewhat strange and descended down on a rainbow light, at this time, many disciples saw him and stepped aside to make way for him, while praising out loud: ¡°Senior Ye!¡± At this time, even the senior disciples, who had higher ranks, did not dare to pull rank in front of Ye Xiwen and respectfully called him Senior Ye. Chapter 161 – Crazy Shark thirteen pirates Chapter 161 ¨C Crazy Shark thirteen pirates ¡°Senior Ye!¡± The voices of greetings starteding continuously that caused Ye Xiwen to feel somewhat confused, he asked the two disciples guarding the entrance of Qian Yu faction station and found out that the news about him almost beheading Luo Yifan in a battle had suddenly spread throughout Yi Yuan School. Ye Xiwen went to meet the founder of Qingfeng Mountain vein and came backte, but aftering back, he found out that the entire Yi Yuan School already knew about this news. This news had stirred the entire Yi Yuan School, this was simply a miracle, like a myth, especially for those who didn¡¯t acknowledge Ye Xiwen earlier and did not believe that he participated in the inner seed disciplespetition and also won the title of chief, and that was not all, the Qian Yu faction that used to be an unknown faction and was in a constant danger of being exterminated by senior factions at any time was no longer the same. Ye Xiwen almost beheaded Luo Yifan in Mosha territory, when the news spread across Yi Yuan School, it caused an enormous sensation and everyone was discussing this matter. Many people were shocked and weren¡¯t ready to believe, but when the inner seed disciples and core seed disciples came back from Mosha territory, they collectively stated that they witnessed the battle between Ye Xiwen and Luo Yifan with their own eyes, and it was actually Luo Yifan who was being suppressed, if an elder had not suddenly interfered, then perhaps, Luo Yifan would have been beheaded by Ye Xiwen. This finally convinced everyone, because one person might be wrong, but when so many people were collectively and decisively stating the same thing, and all of them were the elites of Yi Yuan School, so the news couldn¡¯t possibly be false, or maybe they were bored and hade together to y a joke on everyone and were actually just screwing around with them? With respect to this possibility, everyone might as well believe Ye Xiwen had already defeated Luo Yifan, not to mention they would have soon discovered, because when facing such rumors, in the past, Luo n would quickly resolve the situation and wouldn¡¯t allow the news to spread, so it seemed as if such a thing really happened. And it actually affirmed this matter. Countless people were still in shock, while there were many smart people who already came into action and had arrived in abundance at the station of Qian Yu faction, some were here to see Ye Xiwen and witness his true capacity, some were hoping to join the Qian Yu faction in order to exploit its connections and new influence, trying to get close to the original members of the faction, of course, some of them were actually the spies of major factions and hade to keep a constant watch on the current situation of Qian Yu faction, hoping to see something. And now that Ye Xiwen was finally back, he could confirm whether this news was real or hoax. However, when they saw the elegant figure of Ye Xiwen walking on a divine rainbow, they immediately knew that their guess was correct, because only true disciples could have such magical powers, and this was the power desired by numerous disciples, the so-called flight. After seeing this, even those who had been skeptical about this news all this time had no other option but to believe in it, but they also thought that perhaps, Ye Xiwen was already a master of the truth realm and it could be confirmed from just seeing him flying freely and effortlessly. The chances of Ye Xiwen being a true disciple suddenly attracted the attention of many disciples. Ignoring all those who were trying to get close to him, Ye Xiwen strode straight into the entrance of the station of Qian Yu faction, and even after finding out that the news had spread, he was very calm as if this was normal, in fact, in this world advocated by strength, strong people always obtained such treatment, not to mention, in their eyes, Ye Xiwen was already a true disciple of Yi Yuan School and there were only few hundred true disciples, not to forget that Ye Xiwen was very young and was still able to step into the truth realm, which meant that his future prospects were limitless. There were a lot of people who thought that Ye Xiwen might actually be able to reach the level of the four invincible true disciples of Yi Yuan School, his future growth was simply unlimited, unless it was absolutely necessary, a lot of people did not want to offend him. Earlier, it did not matter, because Ye Xiwen was an ordinary master of the Xiantian realm, although he was still considered strong by most people, but in the eyes of the stronger ones, he was just an ant in the group of ants, nothing but a quite formidable ant. But now it was not the same, after achieving the strength of the truth realm, Ye Xiwen definitely had the qualifications to be treated as their equal. Ye Xiwen went halfway and saw a wee message hanging over the main building of Qian Yu faction. ¡°Little brother, you really are okay!¡± A figure suddenly leapt up and fiercely patted on the shoulders of Ye Xiwen. And Ye Xiwen immediately cracked open his mouth to give a forced smile. At this time, Yan Chiling and the others looked at Ye Xiwen with baffled looks in their eyes, even Ye Feng, although he wasn¡¯t so battled as others, because even if Ye Xiwen changed a lot, he was still his little brother, but this time, he didn¡¯t see him like a child, rather as someone on an equal status and greeted him from far away with a wide smile on his face. However, the one who could dare to be so pstick with Ye Xiwen was his one and only sister, Ye Ruxue, perhaps in her heart, regardless of how powerful he had be, she still held his impression as her little brother. ¡°Now the entire Yi Yuan School is talking about you and how you fought with that Luo Yifan and almost defeated him!¡± Ye Ruxue said in a very excited manner, Ye Xiwen was such a hotshot, and she was truly proud of it. When people confirmed that the rumor was true, after saying few words to Ye Xiwen, they stayed for a while then started to leave, and soon, only Ye Xiwen and Ye Feng, the two brothers remained in the room. ¡°You are in the limelight, but you have also be a target of public criticism, and I am afraid that soon, Yi Yuan School will start keeping an eye on you.¡± Ye Feng said in a somewhat worried voice, he was not a cheerful person like Ye Ruxue who had a blind faith on the strength of Ye Xiwen. Ye Feng was the eldest among them, he just couldn¡¯t help but worry about his younger siblings, he certainly wanted to do things to help them and always be there for them. ¡°Keeping an eye is fine, what else can they do anyway.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, ¡°If they intend to use their evil ns behind the scenes, then I am not a weakling either.¡± ¡°What do you n to do about this Luo case, I don¡¯t think that they n to let go.¡± Ye Xiwen was already aware of this but even Ye Feng was able to make a correct guess, one could see that everyone was aware of the domineering arrogance of Luo n. ¡°Rest assured, I am not afraid of Luo n.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°I was more afraid that they wille for you, that issue was bigger.¡± After all, Ye Xiwen now possessed the strengthparable to the true disciples of the first stage of truth realm, and it could be said that now he had the power to protect himself, but Ye Feng was very weakpared to him, and Ye Xiwen could not allow him to go against the Luo n. ¡°Rest assured, we will not have any problem, we are not weaklings, and our ancestor would be protecting us so we don¡¯t need to worry.¡± Ye Feng said with a smile, he was talking about Lin Zhantian, as long as an elder like him was around to protect them, there really was no need to worry about anything. After all, behind Lin Zhantian, there was a hidden huge influence of the Qingfeng Mountain vein. Thinking of this, Ye Xiwen was not worried anymore. After chatting with Ye Feng for a while, Ye Xiwen also returned to his room and began the closed-door training. It could be said that he learned a lot of things in Mosha territory and needed time to slowlyprehend and sense them. Although hecked spirit stones, making his sensibility much slower, but he was still faster than a lot of people. A day passed in a blink of an eye and the sensibility of Ye Xiwen precipitated by a significant amount. However, Ye Xiwen did not continue the close-door training, because he obtained the news that Luo Yifan finally came out and was no longer hiding in the residence of Luo n. The news was that he picked up a mission and went to the East China Sea to destroy the nest of Crazy Shark thirteen pirates. This group called Crazy Shark thirteen pirates was quite infamous among the several pirate groups active in the East China Sea, because they were very strong. The reputation of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates was bad and they were so infamous because their groupposed of thirteen brothers, all with different surnames, their boss was actually a truth level master, while the other twelve were at the Xiantian ninth peak. They were very strong and an ordinary expert wouldn¡¯t survive in front of theirbined strength, they were hard to deal with and had been stirring up trouble in the East China Sea, many people had long wanted to exterminate them, but they weren¡¯t strong enough for the job. These pirates were rampaging for so many years, and finally, someone sent a request to Yi Yuan School for the extermination of these pirates. And Luo Yifan was intending to pick up this task, he wanted to stay away from the sect and lie low, because after his fight with Ye Xiwen, he was facing quite a lot of usations, many of which were from the elders, so he had to immediatelye out from hiding and he decided to take the mission to exterminate Crazy Shark thirteen pirates. This news was quite secretive, but still reached Ye Xiwen. If it was before, not even a bit of this news would have fallen into the hands of Ye Xiwen, but after achieving arge scale promotion in strength, in the eyes of many people, Ye Xiwen had be a character of great importance, and a lot of people were happy to tell this news to him in exchange for his goodwill, and among them, there were many enemies of Luo n as well, who wanted Ye Xiwen to get rid of an influential Luo n¡¯s member like Luo Yifan. But Ye Xiwen did not mind, after all, the key point was to get rid of Luo Yifan, it could be considered as getting rid of atent danger, although Luo n was a very big threat, but as far as Ye Xiwen was concerned, he nned to break them bit by bit. After getting the news, Ye Xiwen quietly tidied up to prepare for the journey, although he wanted to kill Luo Yifan, but he also did not want to get caught whileunching a full scale attack on him. Luo Yifan was an arrogant man, but when he started facing the usations from those elders, he had to go out and lie low but they might be keeping an eye on him. While doing this kind of thing, he needed to be careful. Moreover, Qianji Ind was located in the East China Sea, so Ye Xiwen went to the merit pce to take the map for it, and after that, he did not wait any longer and flew towards the East China Sea. Chapter 162 – Deepwater black serpent Chapter 162 ¨C Deepwater ck serpent The great East China Sea was simply endless, it was difficult to see the end, and on the high-altitude, Ye Xiwen was treading the rainbow light and was turning the map in his hands, while using Zhen Yuan protection cover to not get disheveled by the strong winds. This great East China Sea was boundless and only a distance of about ten thousand Li came under the known scope of Great Yue State. Although the influence of Great Yue State was extended in a range of a few thousand Li, but Ye Xiwen obtained quite aplete nautical chart from Yi Yuan School that had mapped about one million square kilometers of area near the sea coast. It could be said that the scope of the East China Sea known to Great Yue State was in fact nothing but the tip of an iceberg. The vastness of great East China Sea could be imagined. And Ye Xiwen spent hundreds of sprit stones for this nautical chart, however it also showed the position of the stronghold of Crazy Shark thirteen pirates, which was perhaps a hard to find secret for an average person, but for a monster like Yi Yuan School, it was easily worth nothing. After all, for average people, masters of the truth realm were indeed like human gods, simply unattainable, but for Yi Yuan School, they were just like the tools to deal with trouble. Therefore, it actually saved him a lot of effort and he did not specifically have to look for the whereabouts of Luo Yifan, he just directly went in the direction of the stronghold of Crazy Shark thirteen pirates. The salty sea breeze brushed again Ye Xiwen¡¯s face, he narrowed his eyes then immediately covered his whole body with Zhen Yuan, so that even at such a fast speed, the blowing sea breeze seemedfortable to his body. ¡°This East China Sea is really too big.¡± Ye Xiwen said with emotion. ¡°This is nothing.¡± Ye Mo disdainfully curled his lip and said, ¡°The greatest is the sea of stars, each star is separated from other by an unimaginable distance, far more than what you can ever imagine.¡± If an average resident of Zhen Wu Jie was told about the distance between the stars, it would be like casting pearls before a swine, but Ye Xiwen was naturally not the same and already knew about this. (NT: Info for forgetful readers: Ye Xiwen was a university student from modern earth, but his memories got mixed up with this world¡¯s weakling Ye Xiwen and they both kind of discarded their own separate personalities and decided to form a new identity and be OP to be able to protect family and friends. In the first 100 chapters, Ye Xiwen¡¯s only goal was to be OP, now he has side goal of crushing Luo Yifan and Luo n. MGS has 3290 chapters and ongoing, we are currently at 4.9% of the story.) ¡°ording to the appendix on East China Sea map, there are many forces in this region, in addition to those pirates, there are many scattered martial sects, although they cannot bepared to Yi Yuan School and other several major forces, but all have their own characteristics, not to mention, in the depths of the East China Sea, there are a lot of unusually formidable sects. It is said that there are many sects among them, which are not weaker than Yi Yuan School and many tyrannical sects are thriving on huge continent-like inds.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°And not just these tyrannical forces, in this sea, there are lots of demon beasts as well.¡± In short, there were many who refused to ept thews of thend. ¡°In this sea, elixirs and heavenly treasures are endless, so the might of these demon beasts and martial sects is tyrannical.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°It also has many submarine based spiritual pulses and their quality is much higherpared to the quality of spiritual pulses on thend, but various demon beasts are lurking near the seabed and it¡¯s a pity that your strength is not enough to deal with them, otherwise, you could go there and conveniently plunder the spirit stones from those demon beasts.¡± Ye Mo said. The demon beasts of Xiantian level had remarkable wisdom, but it could be said that there was really not much difference between truth-level demon beasts and humans. The truth level demon beasts even used to organize armies consisting of the Xiantian level demon beasts, carved out their own territory in the sea, they were not one bit weaker than human experts and belonged to a different kind of civilization. ¡°Immediately after killing that Luo Yifan, you can practice here for a month, your cultivation will certainly have a huge improvement, once you have beheaded Luo Yifan,pletely eradicate all those pirates, and then, you can pige the treasure they have gathered after roaming in the East China Sea for so many years. They must have saved up a lot of treasure, which should also contain many top grade spirit stones, just enough for you to start practicing once again.¡± Ye Mo said. Anyway, Qianji Ind was located in the East China Sea and it would be quite convenient to reach there. It was also better for Ye Xiwen to be much stronger before participating in thepetition. Moreover, the pirates of the East China Sea were like a gue, they must be eradicatedpletely, if not killed, then they would continue to harm innocent people, in addition to that, these pirates had plundered lots of spirit stones and other practice materials, so Ye Xiwen could use these treasures to hone his skills. Ye Xiwen was flying extremely fast and soon left the continent far behind and it slowly went out of sight. ¡°Shua!¡± Suddenly, a storm appeared in the distance and speeding Ye Xiwen entered this storm, when he saw that the weather was turning hostile above the sea. This storm was really too horrifying, Ye Xiwen was finding very hard to resist inside it, the Lingqi was sweeping across so fast and wildly that it could directly crush a warrior of Houtian level, even Xiantian level warriors would find it hard to maintain a strong foothold in this storm. After Ye Xiwen strengthened the Zhen Yuan cover over his body, he directly dived into the sea water. Compared to the raging and towering waves and wild winds rushing all the way from the sea surface to the clouds, the entire seabed was very quiet and was not at all unstable, even though there were monstrous waves on the sea surface. However, inside the sea, there simply was no shred of light because of the stormy clouds in the sky and huge depth and massive amount of water over his head, the light couldn¡¯t reach so deep inside, and even Ye Xiwen could see only a little. He could only see clearly for a few meters, the distant ces inside the silent sea seemed strange and could easily make people feel nervous. Then, abruptly, a fishy smell entered his nostrils and a giant shadow leapt towards Ye Xiwen. The giant shadow opened its big mouth and nipped towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen hastily stepped back in the water, however his speed was slowpared to his speed onnd, although after achieving the strength of truth realm orter, one could breathe in the water, walk in the fire, but these were just magical powers, though powerful, but were nothingparable to the abilities of the genuine denizens of the sea. They didn¡¯t use supernatural powers, it was all basic instinct, while fornd walkers, it was obvious to lose their flexibility and speed drastically inside the water. After feeling the presence of that huge shadow, Ye Xiwen suddenly and hastily retreated, delimiting water waves inside the sea, and barely avoided being bitten by that big mouth. Ye Xiwen immediately condensed Zhen Yuan in the eyes, and a burst of golden light suddenly shed in his eyes, increasing his eyesight considerably and this helped him in seeing clearlypared to earlier. It was almost a 1000 feet long ck python, its whole body was swarthy, had two huge disc-like eyes that were releasing scarlet rays of light. Ye Xiwen had to hold his breath, this was the so-called deepwater ck serpent and he had read about it in the records. ording to the records, deepwater ck serpents were a famous race of serpents, there were innumerable deepwater ck serpents in the world and could only survive in the depths of the ocean. Their race was considered very horrifying, after all, a newborn deepwater ck serpent was already in the Xiantian realm and after reaching adulthood, they usually became terrifying monsters of the truth level. Inside the sea, their race was considered very tyrannical and domineering. Some deepwater ck serpents had the opportunity to swallow heavenly treasures and also had a chance to be water dragon. A water dragon was an extremely terrifying existence and was capable of causing greatmotion in a major sect like Yi Yuan School. Moreover, it seemed as if this deepwater ck serpent should have been awakened by the rolling storm above the sea and must have woken up from a deep slumber. ¡°Ye Xiwen, this is your rare fortune, this deepwater ck serpent¡¯s whole body is a treasure. It must have been in the deep sea, perhaps in a very deep slumber, you could never have obtained a chance to see it, you should thank this storm that suddenly appeared and awakened it. Moreover, its body has just crossed the length of 1000 feet which indicates that it has reached the adulthood not long ago, and it also means that it has recently entered into the truth realm!¡± Ye Mo said in an excited manner. The strength and adulthood of a deepwater ck serpent was directly proportional to the length of its body. After stepping into the truth realm, the length of a deepwater ck serpent could reach up to 1000 feet, after breaking into the second stage of truth realm, its length would be able to reach 2000 feet. Each time its skill deepened, it would shed skin and its stature increased by 1000 feet. The most powerful deepwater ck serpent almost had a body length of 10000 feet and one wouldn¡¯t be able to see its entire body in one nce. If Ye Xiwen ever saw a big monster like that, perhaps, even he would have to immediately turn away. He was obviously not an opponent of such a monster and would be easily killed in one tail sweep. However, even if this deepwater ck serpent had just entered into the truth realm, it would be very hard for an average martial artist to deal with it, generally speaking, the content of Zhen Yuan inside the body of any living being was always proportional to the size of the body, if the body size was greater, it could store more Zhen Yuan. Humankind generally reached the height of more than a meter, but this deepwater ck serpent was full 700 meters long, a total of almost 700 times bigger than an average human and hence its body contained 700 times more Zhen Yuan. In addition to that, being a demon beast of truth level, its body was much stronger and formidable than that of a human. It was simply not an ordinary tough opponent. ¡°Hiss! Hiss!¡± The hissing sound produced by the deepwater ck serpent could be heard from afar, it opened its big mouth revealing its poisonous fangs, white in color and iparably sharp, if bitten, perhaps it could instantly pierce him to death, which was absolutely terrifying. Demon beasts of truth level already possessed very high intelligence, Ye Xiwen could even see the fierce look on its face. Ye Xiwen instantly shot coiling dragon palm, hidden dragon rises from the Abyss. A dragon¡¯s roar resounded, his palm transformed into a dragon w and rushed straight towards the big mouth of that deepwater ck serpent. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen felt as if his arm hit the reinforced concrete. Apanied by a loud roar and setting off waves in the water, a figure was directly sted away inside the water, it was actually Ye Xiwen. This deepwater ck serpent did not know martial arts, just by virtue of its solid flesh and terrifyingly strange life force, it was able to beat back the attack of Ye Xiwen, these demon beasts were really quite unique, ordinary humans simply could not bepared with them. Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t imagine, this deepwater ck serpent was so formidable now, if it learnt various martial arts then it would be much more terrifying. The deepwater mysterious serpent opened its big mouth and gave out a long and loud roar, which turned the sea water into water swords and wentsing toward Ye Xiwen. Each of these water swords was sturdier than a formidable master. They whistled and quickly arrived! Chapter 163 – Poisonous Dragon water control flag Chapter 163 ¨C Poisonous Dragon water control g ¡°Divine dragon flings its tail!¡± Ye Xiwen resorted to the most powerful move of coiling dragon palm. Palm shadows appeared everywhere andpletely surrounded the water swords. Those whistling water swords were then directly scattered and obliterated. To deal with this huge demon beast, Ye Xiwen was prepared to use all of the tricks up his sleeves, only then he would be able topletely crush this demon beast, this was kind of person Ye Xiwen actually was. An average person would choose to escape in the very beginning as soon as they encounter a truth level demon beast like deepwater ck serpent and that too in the sea water. If Ye Xiwen was facing this demon beast on thend then it wouldn¡¯t be so difficult to deal with it. ¡°Hu!¡± The deepwater ck serpent¡¯s tail suddenly and fiercely whipped towards Ye Xiwen pumping seawater with the strength of millions of Jin and instantaneously approached him. ¡°Break!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and chopped out his long de, releasing a dazzling delight of missing moon beheader, which directly rushed cutting off water waves. Ye Xiwen swam as if flying inside the water and instantly appeared in front of the deepwater ck serpent. The deepwater ck serpent didn¡¯t hesitate and without demur, it directly whipped its huge tail severely towards Ye Xiwen, as if it wanted to whip him to death. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen instantly used ¡®Divine dragon flings its tail¡¯ towards the giant tail of deepwater ck serpent. The enormous power of the direct collision inside the seawater set off endless waves of water, rippling outyer uponyer. Once again, Ye Xiwen was almost sted to be sent flying, but at the crucial moment, Tianyuan mirror acted as an anchorage and saved him. Ye Xiwen secretly cursed in his heart because if Tianyuan mirror was not there then he would have been sent flying. The fighting strength of this monster under the water was really troublesome. ¡°Begin!¡± Ye Xiwen gave out a loud shout. Tianyuan mirror flew out from within his body and released a terrifying scarlet light which instantly flew over towards the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s head, and in a sh, the scarlet light shone over the deepwater ck serpent. ¡°Zizi!¡± This scarlet colored light shone on the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s body, and immediately, the Zhen Yuan contained in its body began to be corroded by this terrifying scarlet light which was shining on its flesh and prating directly into its flesh, making it to give out intermittent waves of pitiful screams and roars. Its flesh and blood was getting corroded and melting, slowly transforming into bloody- scarlet light and returning to the Tianyuan mirror. Due to that, the scarlet light of Tianyuan mirror was flourishing and bing more and more powerful. Ye Mo¡¯s figure suddenly appeared right above the Tianyuan mirror along with a ck light whizzing out of its body and used his small hands to pinch some kind of tactics unceasingly into the mirror. Under his maniption, the might of the Tianyuan mirror was constantly increasing and began devouring the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s essence and blood even faster. ¡°Ha ha ha, this is really so cool!¡± Ye Mo yelled which dancing with joy. But at this time, without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xiwen instantly shot his long knife and maliciously stabbed into the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s body, and right after the long de stabbed and went into its body, while still holding it in one hand, Ye Xiwen used his other hand to directly punch on it and plunged his de straight into the body of the deepwater ck serpent. ¡°Roar!¡± The deepwater ck serpent screamed pitifully with the intense pain, its whole body began to twitch and twist crazily while violentlyshing out millions of ton of seawater in all directions. But Ye Mo remained radically unmoved and continued to unceasingly pinch his tactics into the Tianyuan mirror. At this time, the true fearful might of Tianyuan mirror fully emerged and under the control of Ye Mo, it could be said that this might was not one bit weaker than the might of a truth level master at the peak of Truth first stage. This kind of might was absolutely powerful and could causeplete mess. ording to what Ye Mo said, this was because Tianyuan mirror just now woke up from its endless sleep, so it could only disy this much strength, as long as there was sufficient umtion of energy, Ye Xiwen could quickly restore it to its true valiance. As Tianyuan mirror was absorb more and more essence and blood of deepwater ck serpent, the scarlet patterns on Tianyuan mirror began to be even stranger. Ye Xiwen was crazily waving his long de inside the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s body and each time, terrifying delight was shing inside its body. The barrage of Ye Xiwen¡¯s malicious de attacks hadpletely churned the internal organs of the deepwater ck serpent, although its outer skin was very hard and tough, but that was not the case for its visceral organs. Ye Xiwen was constantly using his fierce de attacks on its soft and unprotected internal organs. The deepwater ck serpent struggled for some time but was finally motionless and it didn¡¯t take Ye Xiwen too long to find a fist-sized Neidan inside the beast¡¯s body and he directly drilled it out. Ye Xiwen finally rxed, this deepwater ck serpent was indeed very difficult to deal with, however he still didn¡¯t know how many deep sea monsters like it were lurking deep inside the sea. After the deepwater ck serpent was dead, its body and blood was soonpletely absorbed by the Tianyuan mirror and vanished without a trace. Tianyuan mirror had shown faint signs of recovery after absorbing the life essence of deepwater ck serpent and perhaps it wouldn¡¯t take long for its might to beparable to the second stage of truth realm. If the might of Tianyuan mirror becameparable with the master of Truth second stage then Ye Xiwen¡¯s own strength would undoubtedly also increase by leaps and bounds and he would be able topete with masters of Truth second stage. ¡°This deepwater ck serpent¡¯s whole body is a treasure.¡± Ye Mo said with a smile, after absorbing the blood and essence of this demon beast, he was in a good mood, ¡°It just so happens that I can refine a poisonous dragon water control g using the poison of this deepwater ck serpent as basis, after you have practiced using it, it can be said that you will be able to directly kill a master of Truth first stage, it will also be easy for you topete with a master of Truth second stage, andter when you behead more of these deepwater ck serpents or other poisonous beasts then the might of Poisonous dragon water control g will greatly enhance, or after much practicing, you can form a g array, then its might is going to be infinite!¡± ¡°You can refine a tool?¡± Ye Xiwen said in a somewhat surprised tone. ¡°Of course, although this is not what I most excel at, but at the same time, for me, refining a poisonous dragon water control g is nothing but child¡¯s y.¡± Ye Mo said in a somewhat triumphant manner. ¡°But for it to seed, I will need your help as well.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°This is the Celestial emperor tool refining tactics, go ahead, have a look.¡± ¡°This is one of the world¡¯s greatestw tactics!¡± Ye Mo established a connection with Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind and sent a stream of information flowing into his mind. Ye Xiwen began to franticallyprehend this so-called ¡°Celestial emperor tool refining tactics¡± inside the mysterious space, present in his mind. Ye Xiwen had not been idling and directly crushed the neidan of deepwater ck serpent and began to absorb it. Although this deepwater ck serpent was just at the first stage of truth realm and had recently stepped into the truth realm, but its body was huge and its neidan¡¯s inherent energy was almost ten times more than the energy possessed by masters at the first stage of truth realm, or perhaps it was a few times more potent. Ye Xiwen immediately felt a thrill of horrifying energy that began to flow within his body. He instantly lost concentration and had to focus on controlling this terrifying energy that was surging inside his body, and while at the same time, he was also busyprehending ¡®Celestial emperor tool refining tactics¡¯. Fortunately, Ye Xiwen was already ustomed to this pattern, because from the beginning, he had been doing the same thing and was already an expert at using the mysterious space. In short, he was ustomed to dividing his spirit and concentration into two parts to focus on two tasks at the same time and manage them unaffected. The huge snake skin, bones and even the teeth of the deepwater ck serpent were rapidly incorporated into the Tianyuan mirror. Ye Mo also entered the Tianyuan mirror and began coordinating with Ye Xiwen to help him with the refining process. Although he knew the ¡®Celestial emperor tool refining tactics¡¯, but he himself was a tool spirit, and did not have the required capability, so he must coordinate with Ye Xiwen and let him do the actual refining. Ye Xiwen was unceasingly absorbing the massive energy present in the neidan of the deepwater ck serpent into his own body, and on the same time, he was focusing onprehending ¡°Celestial emperor tool refining tactics¡± while constantly refining the ¡®Poisonous dragon water control g¡¯. Almost without wasting even a single moment, Tianyuan mirror was unceasingly rotating above Ye Xiwen¡¯s head and disseminating bursts of coercion to get rid of the nearby deep-sea monsters, so that they wouldn¡¯t dare to approach Ye Xiwen. As the time was passing second by second, it could be said that there was no sense of day and night in the deep sea. Ye Xiwen did not know after how long he abruptly opened his eyes and an absolutely formidable imposing aura suddenly erupted from his body, whipping out an endless amount of water waves. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength finally rose dramatically and finally reached a peak condition. Before, if Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength could only be consideredparable to the true masters of the intermediate level of Truth first stage, now after absorbing the neidan of deepwater ck serpent, his cultivation increased considerably. At present, his strength was easilyparable to the master of peak level of Truth first stage. At this time, he finally managed to have a breakthrough from Xiantian ninth stage and achieved the Xiantian Great realm. It could be said that at any time, he would actually cross over to the truth realm. Even at his current strength, Ye Xiwen was strong enough to sweep away any master of Truth first stage, however masters of Truth second stage would still be very difficult to deal with and he might have to retreat while facing them. Meanwhile, the refining process of ¡®Poisonous Dragon water control g¡¯ was finallyplete. On the side of Tianyuan mirror, a ck colored and insignificant looking little g was flying and directly flew into the hand of Ye Xiwen while its size reduced and becameparable to palm-sized dimensions. A pleasant feeling appeared in his heart when he realized that he couldpletely control it. This was the first divine tool refined by Ye Xiwen and was extremely powerful. When sufficient amount of qi was injected into this tool, the toxic gas sprayed out from it would be enough to effortlessly kill a master of Truth first stage and even a master of Truth second stage would be seriously injured. This Poisonous Dragon water control g tool was in itself a divine tool mentioned in the records of ¡®Celestial emperor tool refining tactics¡¯ which also included many other kinds of tools that required various refining methods and variety of tricks, etc., if the word about it spread out, it was enough to cause sensation andmotion throughout the Zhen Wu Jie. From the very basic spirit tools, ¡®Celestial emperor tool refining tactics¡¯ contained records ofplete refining methods for all kinds of tools, which made it an absolutely insane existence in this world. One must not forget that Ye Mo was indeed also a great presence in this world. And the refining method of ¡®Poisonous Dragon water control g¡¯ was the refining method directly created by the poisonous dragon race, one of the true dragon races, and was famous for its mercilessness and ughtering. The might of the ¡®Poisonous Dragon water control g¡¯ would be simply unthinkable if it was refined out of a poisonous dragon¡¯s body. Poisonous dragon race was one of the true dragon races, and with just a casual flick of their finger, even peerless masters could be stabbed to death. Although Ye Xiwen refined ¡®Poisonous Dragon water control g¡¯ from a deepwater ck serpent and it was only a lower level product, but its might was very big without a doubt. Now, relying on the strength of ¡®Poisonous Dragon water control g¡¯, Ye Xiwen should be able topete with the masters of Truth second stage and it would certainly ensure his sess. Ye Xiwen opened his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up revealing a faint smile. It was time to find Luo Yifan and settle ounts with him! Chapter 164 – Luo Yifan’s plot Chapter 164 Luo Yifan¡¯s plot Ye Xiwen was flying and seemed to be riding a rainbow and rushing towards the location on the map which was supposedly the stronghold of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. Having the nautical chart was beneficial, after flying for a day and night, Ye Xiwen finally reached the den of the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. ¡°Those Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates should be here somewhere. I do not know whether Luo Yifan hase or not, I should look around and see.¡± Ye Xiwen looked from afar and saw a small ind. There was a not so big marina on the ind and there were many pirate ships docked on it. Ye Xiwen saw many pirates shuttling back and forth, among them, there were many pirates with their strengths at Houtian fifth stage or Houtian sixth stage, not to mention there were a lot Xiantian realm masters as well and they obviously held higher ranks than those Houtian realm pirates. Ye Xiwen concealed his breath and hid behind the clouds so that it would be impossible for the pirates to discover his existence. Ye Xiwen just descended down from the sky while riding the rainbow light, but suddenly, a distant shrill piercing sound came out of the blue, and seven men and women dressed in brilliant warrior clothing came flying while producing a sharp whistling sound. A killing intention suddenly shed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes, because among these people, he actually noticed Luo Yifan¡¯s figure. Among these seven individuals, besides Luo Yifan, two other truth level super masters were standing beside him. One of them appeared roughly 30 years old, quite handsome and looked valiant, his imposing aura was threatening and was dressed in a purple robe adding to his extravagance. At his side stood a beautiful woman who appeared to be 20 years old, she was pretty and d in pink brilliant clothing and she appeared somewhat valiant. Besides Luo Yifan and the two truth level masters, the other four people were quite young and were actually the masters of Xiantian Great realm, each of them looked powerful and certainly didn¡¯t look like some trivial masters. Although they could not fly directly, but Luo Yifan and the other three truth level masters had wrapped them in ayer of Zhen Yuan so there was no problem at all. From the flower pattern on their cors, Ye Xiwen was able to tell that these six people were actually the disciples of Tianfeng Hall. In fact, rtions between Tianfeng hall and Yi Yuan School had always been very bad, to the extent that disciples of Tianfeng Hall couldn¡¯t stand the sight of the disciples of Yi Yuan School. If the disciples of Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall were at the same ce then a fight was bound to break out between these two groups. Ye Xiwen finally understood the whole thing, no wonder this Luo Yifan arrived sote even though he set off from Yi Yuan School before him, because he initially went to gather these disciples of Tianfeng Hall and arrived sote along with them. ¡°Luo Yifan, you said that Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates are here right?¡± The masculine truth level master suddenly said. ¡°Yes, they should be here, these Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates have quite a reputation in the East China Sea, they have been rampaging in these seas for almost two hundred years, the treasure umted by them is simply difficult to imagine. The treasure must be having innumerable spirit stones, let¡¯s first kill these pirates then not only we can use these spirit stones to increase our sect credits, we can also rece these spirit stones for medicinal drugs, spiritual tools and so on. Sister Shu has recently stepped into the truth realm and this is a good opportunity to stock up for a smooth sailing ahead.¡± Luo Yifan said. ¡°Well, this will make thingsfortable and easier for junior sister apprentice Shu, and right after stepping into the truth realm, she can just take the heads of these pirates and celebrate.¡± The masculine truth level master looked coldly at the pirates working on the marina. ¡°Brother Luo, the most important thing is to help you in massacring that Ye Xiwen.¡± Sister Shu smiled and immediately said in a cold voice. ¡°Indeed!¡± A cruel smile appeared on Luo Yifan¡¯s face as he said, ¡°I¡¯m sure, that kid is not a fool, but he is the type to seek revenge for the slightest grievance, not to mention, he is cruel and ruthless as well as conniving, he will do everything possible to get rid of me, so I deliberately spilled the beans, let people know that I am here on a mission to eradicate the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. When the timees, he should soon get the message, and even if he does not know on his own, I have arranged so that it is specifically sent to him.¡± Luo Yifan sneered and said in an insidious and ruthless manner: ¡°So if he is what I think he is and wants to dig up the roots of his own personality, then he will definitely show up, and at that time, we will ambush him and catch him off guard on this ind, that is going to be the time of his death!¡± Ye Xiwen was carefully hearing their conversation from the sidelines, hidden in an underground passage and thought that this Luo Yifan really was quite vicious, but also understood him so well that based on this understanding, he even set up such a deadly trap. Three truth level masters hade to crush him and if Ye Xiwen hadn¡¯t spotted them before, then perhaps, he would have been in a really tough spot after getting besieged by these seven people. If Ye Xiwen had not arrived early and had not overheard their conversation, then he would surely have fallen into this deadly trap of Luo Yifan! ¡°ording to what you have already mentioned, that Ye Xiwen is certainly not a weak guy.¡± The masculine truth level master said. ¡°In the end, how strong is he?¡± ¡°He is clearly stronger than me, I guess I will be able to deal with him if I team up with Sister Shu, not to mention, there is Brother Situ to help as well, with your strength of second stage of truth realm, it should be quite easy to suppress Ye Xiwen.¡± Luo Yifan sneered and said, ¡°That Ye Xiwen has recently enhanced his strength considerably which is somewhat strange, his growth is very fast, so I think, we must get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise, he will be extremely terrifying. Moreover, before killing him, we can also interrogate him properly and dig out the secret that help him in enhancing his strength so fast. He definitely has been through several fortuitous adventures, poor guy, doesn¡¯t even know that we are going to seize everything from him.¡± Chapter 164-2 Luo Yifan¡¯s plot Ye Xiwen was listening to their talks and discovered that the n of Luo Yifan was more than just to kill him and eradicate a possible threat. Luo Yifan always had been very curious about how Ye Xiwen was able to enhance his cultivation by leaps and bounds and that too so rapidly and this was going to be a very good chance to capture him and discover about this secret then seize it from him. Ye Xiwen narrowed his eye and thought that it was a good thing that he happened to be here and overheard about the conspiracy from the conversations of Luo Yifan and these people, otherwise they would probably have caught him off guard. ¡°Good, in fact, I can take care of this matter single-handedly and finish him off in one fell swoop.¡± Feng Situ sneered and said, ¡°Not only we can eradicate these Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates and seize their stock of spirit stones to exchange for sect credits, we can also seize the treasure amassed by them for so many years, and if what you say it true and that Ye Xiwen really has a big secret, we will snatch it up from him.¡± ¡°Brother Situ, we should begin now.¡± A disciple of Tianfeng Hall said in an excited manner, this was going to be a great and rewarding robbery and was enough to stimte them and make them go crazy from excitement. ¡°En, you guys are responsible to deal with those ordinary pirates, Luo Yifan and Sister Shu will be responsible for suppressing those weaker twelve members of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. Meanwhile I will handle this so-called truth level pirate, the boss of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates.¡± Feng Situ said, ¡°These pirates really had a bad luck this time, the five great forces of Great Yue State have nned the warrior¡¯s meet to take ce in the East China Sea, they would naturally want to clean out some of these annoying flies, so as to avoid the possibilities of anything going wrong during thepetition.¡± It could be said that for giants like Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall, these pirates couldn¡¯t possibly pose enough threat, and to be frank, they could only be regarded as flies in front of their might. ¡°Begin!¡± After Feng Situ severely roared, Luo Yifan and other disciples of Tianfeng Hall formed a line in the midair and instantly dived towards the pirates. These pirates were simply like preys in front of these aggressive and bloodthirsty experts, they didn¡¯t have the capacity to resist and defend themselves and most of them were killed in one move. Ye Xiwen coldly looked at these people ughtering those pirates. However, he simply didn¡¯t care because whether it was Luo Yifan and his friends from Tianfeng Hall or these pirates, each and every individual present there was his enemy, so he did not care the slightest about them. He immediately went into hiding and concealed his breath as well, and in his heart, he secretly began wondering about the means to bring all of these people in one big dra. But, he was quite surprised because he never expected that Luo Yifan actually had such great rtions with the disciples of Tianfeng Hall. However, since they came to eliminate him, now, these Tianfeng Hall¡¯s disciples were also his enemies and he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to eliminate them all! All sorts of ns began to surge up in Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind one after another! Among these people, the most difficult to deal should undoubtedly be that Feng Situ who was a super master at the second stage of truth realm. Whenpared to Luo Yifan, he was much stronger. If it was before, Ye Xiwen would surely have turned away and would never think of shing with such a master of Truth second stage, but now, the situation was no longer the same. Ye Xiwen now possessed a deadly divine tool like ¡®Poisonous dragon water control g¡¯ and relying on its strength, he should be able to deal with a master of Truth second stage, however the key point should be to focus on severely injuring Feng Situ in the very beginning, which would certainly require him to make a n. Since they wanted to ambush Ye Xiwen, he would dly prepare a counter-ambush from them and eradicate Luo Yifan and the others in one fell swoop. When facing the disciples of Tianfeng Hall, it was obvious that these coastal pirates were not their opponents and were quickly ughtered. Soon, after killing them all, Luo Yifan went towards the depths of Crazy Shark Thirteen Ind, because the stronghold of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates was located in the central region of the ind. Ye Xiwen followed him slowly towards the depth of ind, but he didn¡¯t forget to maintain a distance of one kilometer. Although there was a separation of one kilometer, but for Ye Xiwen and other experts of truth level, considering their extremely fast speed, this distance was nothing and could be covered in an instant without any difficulty. But this was only the case for experts, as far as ordinary people were concerned, it was still a great distance. As they were going all the way in, the pirates who were try to block them were simply not their opponents and the entire route was quickly piled up with the corpses of these pirates. They simply had no way to fight back, and soon, Ye Xiwen followed into the depths of the ind. However, the central region of the ind was not the same as Ye Xiwen had imagined. It was actually a mighty pceplex and had a considerablyrge scale. There were a total of thirteen pces and each of the members of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates individually lived in them. However, Ye Xiwen immediately felt rxed, although it was natural that this world of pirates waspletely different from the world of ordinary humans because these were not normal human beings, in fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, it would seem like thend of deities. However, it was far worse whenpared to the pceplex of Yi Yuan School. Whenpared to the flying fortresses of Yi Yuan School, this pceplex was simply nothing, and inparison, it wasn¡¯t the slightest like thend of deities. The pces seemed splendid on the outside, but on the inside, they were just like the pces of mortal kings. And one could also see resentments and grievances hovering above the entire pceplex all year round. ¡°Bang!¡± Suddenly, intermittent waves of fearful imposing aura began crazily welling up from the pceplex. ¡°Who are you people? How dare you intrude into my Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates Ind!¡± A rumbling thunder like voice suddenly echoed throughout the sky. ¡°Crazy shark!¡± Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said. Chapter 165 – Raids the treasure Chapter 165-1 ¨C Raids the treasure ¡°Crazy shark!¡± Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said. Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates had thirteen individuals with thirteen different nicknames but the only imposing one among them was the nickname of their boss, who was called Crazy Shark. He was the most powerful among them and was their leader as well, leading to his name gaining quite a reputation, and with the passage of time, their group gradually became well-known as the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. However, the nickname of the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates group¡¯s boss, Crazy Shark, was gradually forgotten by the people in thest few hundred years. Now, no one remembered his nickname as Crazy Shark, rather they called him the boss of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. Not long after, terrifying fluctuations of Zhen Yuan transmitted throughout the pceplex. It seemed as if the whole world changed color in front of this horrifying Zhen Yuan. Endless amount of Lingqi congealed into several Lingqi bombs and instantly rushed toward Luo Yifan and the others and fiercely exploded one after another. ¡°Boom!¡± Lingqi bombs exploded loudly and incessantly, sweeping out an endless storm of Lingqi in the entire area. Ye Xiwen was watching it all from a distant ce. He certainly would not think that Luo Yifan and the other disciples of Tianfeng Hall would be wounded by these bombs, though these Lingqi bombs were powerful enough to blow away the ordinary masters of Xiantian realm and these explosions would have been quite fatal for them, but as far as truth level masters were concerned, it could be said that the explosive power of these Lingqi bombs was not enough. Sure enough, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed and Luo Yifan and the other disciples appeared unharmed and simply unaffected by the explosions. But at this time, the figures of thirteen pirates suddenly came out from their respective pces and rushed straight towards Luo Yifan and the other disciples of Tianfeng Hall. Ye Xiwen did not stay there for a long time. He circled around and went inside their of the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates. The thirteen pirate leaders were busy fighting with the group of Luo Yifan and the weak pirates that were left behind to protect the pceplex were certainly not the opponents of Ye Xiwen. These remaining pirates were directly beheaded by him which was an effortless job for him. Afterwards, he searched their memories and instantly found out about the whole structure of the pceplex, as well as the ce where the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates had hidden their treasure. Ye Xiwen directly rushed towards that ce where the treasure was kept and after going inside, the first thing he saw was a giant furnace in a room filled with medicinal pills. ¡°This is actually the best quality spiritual tool ranked alchemy furnace to refine immortality pills, gee, this kind of thing, even among the masters of legendary realm, not everyone can have it!¡± Ye Mo suddenly said. (NT: Immortality pills = medicinal pills) One of the more important factors to weigh the standard of sects was their capability to refine immortality pills using alchemy furnace, but Ye Xiwen knew that Yi Yuan School had an alchemy furnace that could at best refine immortality pills of high-grade and was actually just a high-grade spiritual tool. It was obvious that it was inferior to the best quality spiritual tool ranked alchemy furnace that Ye Xiwen happened to find in this treasure room. The importance of immortality pills was known to everyone in this world of martial arts. Ye Xiwen also knew very well about its importance, although it could be said that Ye Xiwen¡¯s general practice style depended mostly on piling up a stock of spirit stones. For Ye Xiwen, immortality pills were basically the source of providing a supplement of Zhen Yuan and healing. There were a variety of immortality pills for supplementing Zhen Yuan or Zhen Qi, or for healing. Ye Xiwen mostly concentrated on amassing spirit stones because they were a necessary element in his practice. He had already spent massive amounts of spirit stones to be able to generate sufficient Lingqi and instill it into the mysterious space, only then he was able toprehend power techniques or enhance his cultivation. However, this style of practice was only followed by Ye Xiwen model, most people¡¯s practice styles did not require a lot of spirit stones, because the efficiency was often rtively low, although it was still much fasterpared to absorbing world Lingqi directly from the atmosphere. As far as the practice styles of elites and geniuses were concerned, they often tended to exchange spirit stones with immortality pills to support them during the practice. Ye Xiwen had not studied refining immortality pills from an alchemy furnace, but this could not hinder him from using it, because even if he did not know how to refine immortality pills, he still had Ye Mo to help him, at least for now, and after slowly learning to refine immortality pills, things would be quite easier for him. This alchemy furnace¡¯s ancient looking body waspletely covered with various marks and inscriptions. There was actually a Zhen method inscribed on its body to incite Secret true me, while there were lots of other Zhen methods as well. After learning to refine immortality pills from the alchemy furnace, Ye Xiwen would be able to sell arge number of immortality pills in exchange for spirit stones, and by that time, he would have a steady source of spirit stones. Also, he would not have to rely on these indirect methods of earning spirit stones which solely depended on his luck and was quite uncertain. Moreover, he would also be able to give arge number of immortality pills to the disciples of Qian Yu faction that would certainly help them in enhancing their cultivation by leaps and bounds, in a short time. ¡°Ha ha, as long as you have this alchemy furnace in your possession, you will neverck spirit stones. And, I also know a lot of superior refining techniques, so by using this best quality spiritual tool ranked alchemy furnace, your practice speed will increase as well.¡± Ye Mo said in a happy voice. Ye Mo Tianyuan mirror could also rely on a lot of immortality pills and recover its strength by swallowing them, of course, this was also possible with spirit stones. Although Ye Xiwen did not say, but Ye Mo was not blind, he was also silently watching that with each and every breakthrough, Ye Xiwen¡¯s consumption of spirit stones would increase dramatically each time, not to mention, he was able to break through to his current strength at an insane speed and in a short time, and this should be rted to the secret hidden in his body. Ye Mo had already guessed that it was most probably this secret hidden in Ye Xiwen¡¯s body thatpelled Tianyuan mirror to somehow recognize Ye Xiwen as its owner. However, Ye Mo was very intelligent, although he knew very clearly about this but he also knew that he must not ask. If he wouldn¡¯t ask then Ye Xiwen would naturally tell him about this it someday on his own ord. Chapter 165-2 ¨C Raids the treasure However, because Ye Xiwen¡¯s practice style required arge bundle of energy, and for that, he had to consume a lot of spirit stones to maintain the breakneck practice speed. This consumption rate was perhaps even higher than what was required to revive the Tianyuan mirror, so Ye Mo could not ask for spirit stones from Ye Xiwen. But, now the situation was no longer the same. As long as Ye Xiwen had this alchemy furnace that could refine as many immortality pills as he wanted, he would be able to refine various kinds of Dan as well, in fact, things like Hehe Dan were simply not worth mentioning, if he had sufficient raw materials and ingredients, these things could be refined in this alchemy furnace. In this way, his Tianyuan mirror could recover at a much quicker speed, thinking of this, Ye Mo suddenly became excited again. Tianyuan mirror immediately flew in the air and that alchemy furnace, along with various kinds of immortality pills spread throughout the treasure room, was directly sucked inside the Tianyuan mirror. There was a veryrge space inside the Tianyuan mirror, it could be said that it was sorge and it was just like a self-contained world and Ye Mo was the lord of this world, which disyed his majestic existence. Although, the appearance of this world had declined now, but the space avable in this world was muchrger than the storage space of the storage ring of Ye Xiwen. So, Ye Xiwen took out all of the things from his storage ring and stored them inside therge world of Tianyuan mirror. In addition to alchemy furnace and various immortality pills, Ye Xiwen also looted all kinds of treasures from the treasure room. Among them, there were lots of pseudo-spiritual tools, low-grade spiritual tools and he continued to take spiritual tools one after another. As for Ye Xiwen, a low-grade spiritual tool was only of little use, but this utility was not great, but he could use so many of these tools to develop the strength of Qian Yu faction, so he thought that it would a good choice to give these tools to the members of his faction. Ye Xiwen seized a variety of spirit stones, including some low-grade spirit and spirit stones, almost a total of hundred thousand spirit stones. He also looted a total of 20,000 top grade spirit stones. He was satisfied because he was in a serious need of top grade spirit stones. In such a short time, the entire treasure amassed by the Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates for so many years had now fallen in the hands of Ye Xiwen. When Luo Yifan and the disciples of Tianfeng Hall woulde inside the room to check out the treasure, they would surely be irritated. On the outside, the fighting sounds were getting more and more intense and then slowly began to fade away and gradually stopped. Ye Xiwen knew that the fight between Luo Yifan¡¯s group and pirates should being to an end very soon. In order to ambush them, Ye Xiwen hastily went to the side, restrained his breath and began to quietly wait for them. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud noise, the entire pceplex suddenly copsed and the silhouette of a person also maliciously copsed along with it, dropping down from the sky. The sturdy body of Crazy Shark was hit by a streamer that sted into his body and directly crushed his cervical vertebra. He was unable to breathe and ultimately died. After that, Luo Yifan and the others arrived at the scene, led by Feng Situ. ¡°Ha ha, we finally killed that Crazy shark, now his treasure is ours!¡± A disciple shouted loudly in a happy voice. ¡°Search, search this Crazy Shark¡¯s memory, where has he hidden his treasure,pletely search his memories.¡± Feng Situ immediately said with a ruthless look on his face. However Ye Xiwen did not wait for him to continue, suddenly, a shadow instantly turned into a streamer and directly pierced the body of Feng Situ. ¡°Zizi!¡± Theyer of protective cover, made up of Zhen Yuan, on Feng Situ¡¯s body actually started giving out buzzing sound and began to corrode, and with just a slight pause for a moment, the corrosion instantly spread throughout his body. ¡°Ah!¡± Feng Situ screamed out pitifully while the toxin instantly spread all over his body, causing hisplexion to suddenly turn pale from the intense pain. Along with the feeling of dizziness, he almost directly fainted. ¡°There is an enemy!¡± Feng Situ was only able to shout few words then finally saw that a strange double-edged g had pierced into his body. As his voice faded, he actually saw that the g embedded in his body started to suddenly releaserge amounts of toxic gas, and the toxic gas instantly filled the surrounding area of over a radius of hundreds of meters. When the disciples of Tianfeng Hall, who were at the Xiantian Great realm, came in contact with this toxic gas, their whole bodies were corroded and turned into a pile of bones. The toxicity of this gas was simply hard to imagine. Even Luo Yifan and Sister Shu were instantly affected by the poison, but fortunately, their reaction speed was much faster than those disciples of Xiantian Great realm. Moreover, their strength was also much higher. The toxic gas spread out very fast and filled the surrounding area, stopping them to move freely. ¡°Scatter out!¡± Luo Yifan severely bellowed and agitated the Zhen Yuan throughout his body, it seemed as if his clothes were filled with air and bulged out, followed by a surge of terrifying st of Zhen Yuan that instantly dispersed the toxic gas. ¡°Who actually dares to attack us!¡± Luo Yifan shouted in an angry tone. They were nning to ambush someone else here, but he never thought that they would be the ones to get ambushed instead. This feeling was simply very depressing. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted in a loud voice and chopped out his de, thousands of delight appeared and instantly formed a dense and severe rain of dazzling des, directly falling towards Luo Yifan to chop him down into pieces. ¡°What, Ye Xiwen, it¡¯s actually you!¡± Luo Yifan did not expect that the one to ambush him would actually be Ye Xiwen, how was this possible, how could Ye Xiwen possibly be hiding here to ambush him. ¡°Luo Yifan, you actually conspired against me.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered disdainfully and said, ¡°I have already ripped your plot into shreds.¡± ¡°Die!¡± Luo Yifan severely roared in and raised his sword towards the rain of delight. ¡°Boom!¡± Chapter 166 – Luo Yifan beheaded Chapter 166-1 ¨C Luo Yifan beheaded ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud bang, deqi and Swordqi fiercely collided with each other, casing a massive explosion while seemed like the blossoming of fireworks and the terrifying st force directly sent the debris of the pceplex flying in all directions. At this time, due to this fierce collision, Luo Yifan had to immediately and hastily retreat. He was directly shaken by the power of this collision and was pushed back in the midair,pelling him to crazily draw back several dozen steps before stopping, while an incredible look appeared on his face. Just now, it could be said that the two sides had recklessly attacked at the same time, but it was actually Ye Xiwen who had the upper hand! Luo Yifan certainly knew that thest time he fought with Ye Xiwen, it was actually him who had fallen under the wind and Ye Xiwen had almost reached the point of beheading him. He had been suppressed by Ye Xiwen in theirst fight, but one must know that at that time, Luo Yifan¡¯s strength was only slightly weaker than Ye Xiwen. In fact, Ye Xiwen had to go through a tangled warfare with him for a very long time to slowly exhaust his stamina to gain an upper hand. However, at this time, he discovered that Ye Xiwen had simply be much stronger than before, to an extent that it was quite terrifying to imagine that his cultivation could advance so much and that too in such a short time, not even ten days had passed since theirst fight. If the current Ye Xiwen waspared to his self when Luo Yifan fought him few days ago, then it seemed as if Ye Xiwen was reborn with his strength enhanced by leaps and bounds. ¡°How is this possible, how can you suddenly be so much stronger!¡± Luo Yifan was suddenly scared to death, but soon adjusted his mood and calmed down and a shrew look shed in his eyes. He had be even more curious and interested about this secret of Ye Xiwen and determined in his heart that he would certainly seize this secret from Ye Xiwen at any cost. ¡°It seems you are not aware of your imminent death, to think you still continue to devise plots and that too in front of your own death!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted in a loud voice when he saw the cunning look shing in Luo Yifan¡¯s eyes. How could he not know about the wishful thinking of Luo Yifan? The long de in Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand instantly released a burst of terrifying delight. A seemingly infinite delight was instantly chopped out and rushed towards Luo Yifan to chop him into pieces. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Suddenly, that Sister Shu Han finally also stepped into the battle and attacked. The red colored silky damask went towards Ye Xiwen at a lightning speed, and appeared just like a red serpent, it suddenly arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye. ¡°Humph!¡± Ye Xiwen coldly snorted but didn¡¯t stop. His long de still kept going towards Luo Yifan at an extremely fast speed. But, at this time, he immediately used coiling dragon palm, his left hand turned into a malicious dragon w and went towards the red damask and directly grabbed it. ¡°Rip it apart!¡± The red damask, which was actually made up of Zhen Yuan, was directly grasped in Ye Xiwen¡¯s dragon w, and in an instant, it was directly torn to shreds with just one flick of his dragon w. However at this time, Luo Yifan noticed that this was a golden opportunity and immediately hacked down his sword. Suddenly, it seemed as if an ice dragon congealed out of nowhere and went flying towards Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying collision urred and set offyer afteryer of shock waves in all directions, however Luo Yifan¡¯s n failed when he saw that his ice dragon was instantly split into two halves by Ye Xiwen¡¯s delight. ¡°Luo Yifan, you are doomed, I would like to see who saves you today.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and said in a cold voice. Today, he was nning to use his full strength and go all out in this battle in order to eradicate this scourge. ¡°Die!¡± Suddenly, Feng Situ, whose entire body had been attacked by toxic gas, roared and Poisonous dragon water control g was darted off his body instantly, and along with it, something crept out from the void. A five or six meters long and approximately two meters wide huge totem crept out of the void and flew straight towards Ye Xiwen. At this time, all of a sudden, Ye Xiwen felt a divine suppressioning from this totem and noticed that this huge totem was exuding an ancient aura which was actually suppressing him. Feng Situ had found this huge totem while wandering about in an ancient ruin. Although he found this totem in the ruins and could not determine its specific grade, but it was very strong and could simply deter the world itself. It could be seen that a master at the second stage of truth realm was truly a peerless existence. Even if Feng Situ had been attacked and poisoned by the ¡®Poisonous dragon water control g¡¯ and that too all of a sudden, he had been able to issue such a fierce attack. Ye Xiwen immediately dodged by quickly flying several feet away from the range of the huge totem falling towards him and somehow manage to escape range of this attack. ¡°Boom!¡± The entire totem severely smashed on the ground and created a giant crater. But at this time, Luo Yifan¡¯s sword had already arrived in front of Ye Xiwen, and it seemed just like a serpent flying towards him. Luo Yifan was looking for an opportunity and bitterly stabbed towards Ye Xiwen with all his might. ¡°Shua!¡± The Poisonous dragon water control g instantly activated, a roaring deepwater ck serpent roared loudly and flew out of the g, and while still roaring and its mouth wide open, it flew towards Luo Yifan carrying boundless toxic gas along with it. This was the deepwater ck serpent that was used as a basis by Ye Xiwen in refining the g. The soul of that deepwater ck serpent was caught and directly inserted into the ¡®Poisonous dragon water control g¡¯ hence it became its tool spirit. In order to increase the might of this divine tool, it was necessary for the tool spirit to have its own wisdom and mystical powers. The deepwater ck serpent¡¯s huge body suddenly appeared in the air like a cluster of massive ck clouds and was simply hiding the sky and covering the earth. Although it was only a soul, but it had drawn support from the power of ¡®Poisonous dragon water control g¡¯ to transform into an energy entity. Opening its sacrificial bowl-like big mouth and releasing bursts of toxic gas, it fierce bit towards the iing Swordlight attack and instantly corroded it, leaving nothing behind, but after that, it did not stop and flew straight towards Luo Yifan and arrived in front of him. ¡°You filthy beast!¡± Luo Yifan shouted and shot a burst of Swordlight and it seemed as if stars were falling from the gxy. The Swordlight severely collided with the body of deepwater ck serpent. ¡°Puchi!¡± The body of deepwater ck serpent, which was actually an entity made up of condensed energy, instantly exploded, and along with this big explosion, endless amount of toxic gas spread in the surroundings. Only in a sh, the protectiveyer of Zhen Yuan on Luo Yifan¡¯s body was corroded and some areas of his flesh were also corroded and melted, making him to suddenly shout pitifully due to the intense pain. Chapter 166-2 ¨C Luo Yifan beheaded In the gas cloud, a figure suddenly leapt up, and apanied by a loud whistling sound, a terrifying delight cut through the gas cloud and instantly appeared in front of Luo Yifan. ¡°Luo Yifan, today is thest day of your life, you probably never would have thought that your n to ambush me would actually backfire, and now, you are going to die at my hands.¡± Ye Xiwenughed loudly and said. Seeing that he was about to get rid of an enemy, Ye Xiwen was really feeling great. Luo Yifan was suddenly taken aback and felt startled in his mind, but at his side, the fearful ck figure of deepwater ck serpent congealed once again, because its body was made up of condensed energy, so the physical attacks simply had no effect on the deepwater ck serpent. It had already died and was nothing but a soul. Once again, the deepwater ck serpent opened its sacrificial bowl-like terrifying mouth and advanced towards Luo Yifan topletely swallow his entire being. Two terrifying attacks were advancing towards Luo Yifan, but this time, whether it was Sister Shu Han or Feng Situ, both of them were simply too far away and weren¡¯t able to rescue him, and before they could do something to save Luo Yifan, in just a sh, Ye Xiwen immediately arrived in front of him. ¡°I don¡¯t ept this, how can this be happening to me!¡± Luo Yifan shouted in a depressed manner, how did this happen to him, up until today, he was fully confident that along with the disciple of Tianfeng Hall, he would be able to sessfully ambush Ye Xiwen, then after finding out about that secret, they would kill Ye Xiwen and that would solve all his worries. If before, Ye Xiwen was an ant-like existence in his eyes, thenter, it could be said that Ye Xiwen had be an eyesore and a possible future threat in the eyes of Luo Yifan. However, right now, Ye Xiwen seemed to have be such a threatening existence that he was once again so close to taking his life. Ye Xiwen grew so powerful when Luo Yifan was not paying attention to him. So he was nning to use any means to get rid of this Ye Xiwen andpletely eradicate him from the face of the earth, then only he would be able to get rid of the worries in his heart, he knew, Ye Xiwen also felt the same way. Luo Yifan had already guessed that Ye Xiwen was nning to eradicate him and finish the source of this hatred once and forever, so he nned to act first and kill Ye Xiwen before he grew any stronger, but he never thought that his own team would be counter-ambushed by Ye Xiwen. In that instant, Luo Yifan recalled all the things that happened between him and Ye Xiwen, however rather than cursing his own arrogance, there was a big regret in his heart that he did not kill Ye Xiwen while he was still small and weak like an ant, he was arrogant, and now he was unable to kill Ye Xiwen which was also going to be the main reason behind his disastrous death. Ye Xiwen roared loudly, a dazzling delight shed and chopped down the Swordlight of Luo Yifan into pieces, then rushed straight towards Luo Yifan. ¡°Puchi!¡± The blood spattered from Luo Yifan¡¯s entire body, he was sent flying high into the sky, while there was still an incredible look on his face. It was just too hard for him to believe that he actually died at the hands of Ye Xiwen. After beheading Luo Yifan, Ye Xiwen instantly rushed towards that Sister Shu Han. She panicked and instantly congealed the red damask to block the advancing Ye Xiwen. It seemed as if the red damask was releasing waves of water on the surface of a red ocean,yer byyer stacking up, the total might was infinite and severely pounded towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Shua!¡± The delight dazzled throughout the sky, the bright sh exuded from it obscured the entire atmosphere and that red damask was split in half and fell apart. Missing moon beheader! Ye Xiwen instantly chopped out the second de. Then the third de, fourth de and fifth de! Thebined strength of these delights was much stronger that the attack of Shu Han, and after defeating her attack, at thest moment, the terrifying might of each of these de attacks condensed into a single malicious de attack and fiercely collided with her body. ¡°Puchi!¡± Blood spattered everywhere, her flesh and blood flew and scattered in all directions. Sister Shu Han had been effortlessly beheaded by Ye Xiwen. He didn¡¯t show even the slightest mercy and directly chopped her down into pieces. Poisonous dragon water control g flew back into Ye Xiwen¡¯s hand then began to rotate around him, releasing a faint and creepy ck light. Ye Xiwen slowly walked toward thest survivor, Feng Situ. ¡°You are Ye Xiwen?¡± Feng Situ was staring at Ye Xiwen and said. ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Xiwen did not conceal his identity and said. ¡°I never thought that it will actually be us who get ambushed and killed by you.¡± Feng Situ said with emotion, by this time, the toxin had fully spread throughout his body causing hisplexion to pale. Ye Xiwen also secretly admired this peerless master because the skill and strength of Feng Situ were really profound. If a master at the first stage of truth realm was in his shoes, then perhaps, he would have died by now, however Feng Situ was able to hang on for so long and was also able to unleash the huge totem attack, which was simply unthinkable and admiring! ¡°You brought this upon yourself, unjust and evil action takes you towards your own doom, this time you intended to ambush and kill me and you never thought the same can happen to you?¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said but did not rx and maintain a constant vignce. He would never underestimate Feng Situ, once there was any movement, he would immediately behead him. ¡°Ha ha ha ha, you believe in that? Justice and in this world...... I do not believe in such a thing, this time I lost to you because our n was insufficiently devised and we underestimated your strength, we never thought that you actually possess such strength, so it¡¯s not unjust if I lost to you.¡± Feng Situ lifted his head upward and said. ¡°You talk too much.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a somewhat cold voice then raised his hand and chopped out his long de. ¡°Puchi!¡± Feng Situ¡¯s head was severed and sent flying. Chapter 167 – Poisonous dragon water control flag array Chapter 167-1 ¨C Poisonous dragon water control g array After beheading Luo Yifan and the other two truth level masters, Ye Xiwen did not stay there for a long time, he immediately plundered the wealth of these three people and quickly left. But, this time, the news of the death of three true disciple level figures was enough to shake up the entire Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall. One must know that there were only few hundred true disciples even in arge sect like Yi Yuan School and each of them were considered elite among the elites and were no different than extremely priceless treasures, nurtured by their respective sects over decades or even centuries. There were many true disciples who left behind soul jade slips in the sect, and in case a true disciple was to die, his soul jade slip would immediately break and rm the sect. Sure enough, not long after Ye Xiwen left, the entire East China Sea was inmotion. Three truth level masters had died at the same time, Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall were extremely furious and sent many experts to perform a thorough investigation, but Ye Xiwen had already taken precautionary measures. He had already destroyed their corpses leaving no trace, so the experts could not find out anything! But after all, this matter happened in the nest of pirates, although all of the members of Crazy Shark thirteen Pirates group were obviously already dead before the investigators arrived at the scene, but Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall also needed to vent their anger, and thus, bad luck was about to befall the pirates very soon. Both Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall mobilizedrge battalions,prised of formidable experts, and they began arge scale cleanup operation in the nearby regions of the ce where the incident had urred. During this cleanup operation, a lot of pirate nests were destroyed and innumerable pirates were massacred in the process, but these experts did not dare to annoy the pirate groups that were originally part of the alliance of Ny-Nine Pirates Union. The so-called Ny-Nine Pirates Union was actually the alliance of 99rge pirate groups that roamed fearlessly in the endless East China Sea. These pirate groups had formed a very formidable alliance named Ny-Nine Pirates Union and roamed bravely in the waters of East China Sea. They hadposed this alliance to strengthen the strength of pirates, they worked towards safeguarding the interests of pirates and Ny-Nine Pirates Union also acted as the chief moderator and managed the fights between pirate groups. Generally when forces tried to makerge-scale raids in the East China Sea in order to wipe out the pirate groups, they had to face severe counterattack from furious and formidable Ny-Nine Pirates Union, but this time, the matter involved tworge sects, if there was only one then there was a little scope of negotiation, however the matter involved tworge sects of Great Yue State, and not just that, three truth level masters had died at once, which was enough to invoke extreme fury that could simply burn the heaven itself. Who would dare to step out and try to block such a raging fury, it could be said that these pirates who had to face the cleanup operation had a severe bad luck! Other people thought that the tworge sects were venting anger on these pirate groups, but only Ye Xiwen knew that they should rather vent anger in their own hearts because it was actually one of them who caused this incident though it was radically trivial to mention it now. The primary purpose of both of theserge sects was deterrence, to deter annoying existences like pirates and use any excuse to do that, for example Ny-Nine Pirates Union. Although it was only a loose alliance of 99 pirate groups, but its strength was veryrge, in fact, their overall strength was only slightly weaker than the strength of the five major forces of Great Yue State. It could be said that it was a very intrepid existence. If it was a peacetime and the five forcesbined their strengths and attacked Ny-Nine Pirates Union, it would have been possible to crush them and remove their strong influence from the East China Sea, but at present, the situation was not normal throughout the Great Yue State and there was chaos spread everywhere in the state due to the sudden rising of Bai Mojiao organization, they were igniting trouble everywhere. At this time, the five forces needed to stay calm and stable, at least until they wouldpletely destroy Bai Mojiao organization. Although the five major forces had always considered Ny-Nine Pirates Union as a troublesome existence, but this was not the time to act against this intrepid force of East China Sea because there was a risk of this matter going out of hands. After all, no one trifled with the members of Ny-Nine Pirates Union, because there were several truth level masters among their ranks, if the major forces wanted to annoy them then it would naturally not be a minor matter and might cause arge scale disaster. In this case, the tworge sects were using this incident as an excuse and nice opportunity to perform a raid in order to reduce the strength of the Ny-Nine Pirates Union, and on the other hand, they were also trying to deter thesewless pirates. However, these pirates also precisely knew about this, so they were bearing patiently and were not sending their own forces to stop the cleanup operation because they knew that the tworge sects were actually not trying to destroy them, this was only a warning. If the pirates tried to take actions and retaliate, it might incite the sensitive nerve of these tworge sect and annoy them, and at that time, there was a major risk that their retaliation would not only send these tworge sects in a fit of anger, it might even induce a joint attack from other threerge forces as well and that would ultimately turn into a mass-scale sweep operation against Ny-nine Pirates Union. This was themon will of the five forces, although their own duties were not small, but at this time, all of them were busy in the maintenance of stability and consistent prosperity in the Great Yue State, all the while safeguarding their statuses as therge forces and in turn also maintaining a bnce of power throughout the state, so at this time, who would dare toe out and take the lead! This cleanup operation was not only a warning for the Ny-Nine Pirates Union, but it was also a warning for the various forces within and outside the borders of the Great Yue State. The might of the alliance of the fiverge forces of Great Yue State was huge. It was a warning for other forces that they must never provoke the formidable alliance of five forces of Great Yue State! However, Ye Xiwen simply had no participation in the coordinated actions of Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall because he was actually taking advantage of this situation and constantly raiding the pirates of several truth level pirate captains. He managed to seize a lot of spirit stones and he also amassed lots of heavenly treasures, many medicinal herbs that could act as raw materials for medicinal pills. After plundering so many resources, Ye Xiwen sighed with emotion, he had actually started to feel that robbery really was the world¡¯s fastest way to earn money. Chapter 167-2 ¨C Poisonous dragon water control g array Day by day, time passed gradually, and all this time, Ye Xiwen was constantly searching for deepwater ck serpents in the East China Sea, and whenever found, he would immediately strike and kill them. In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and in less than ten days, the gathering of the five forces of Great Yue State was going to take ce in the East China Sea. Ye Xiwen was unceasingly roaming in the depths of the East China Sea, and all this time, he had been looking for deepwater ck serpent. In thest two weeks time, Ye Xiwen killed sixteen deepwater ck serpents, most of them were huge and swarthy serpents and were already at the first stage of truth realm, however three of them were actually huge monsters and were at the second stage of truth realm but were also directly beheaded by Ye Xiwen to be refined by Poisonous dragon water control g. Ye Xiwen had condensed the essences and souls of seventeen deepwater ck serpents into the Poisonous dragon water control g, and so long as refined at the same, he would be able to practice the next Zhen method of Poisonous dragon water control g, at that time the might of this divine tool would simply be so incredible that even a master at the third stage of truth realm would find it very difficult to deal with it. Right now, Ye Xiwen was hiding underwater for quite a while, and far away from him, near the seabed mountain range, a several feet long gigantic deepwater ck serpent was lying down horizontally in an oceanic trench. After looking for a long time, Ye Xiwen finally selected the eighteenth deepwater ck serpent to be condensed into the Poisonous dragon water control g, then it could said that its might would be enough to fight off a master of Truth third stage. This deepwater ck serpent was more than 2000 feet in length, and looking at its length, it could be said that its length had almost reached 3000 feet. Ye Xiwen had been observing it for a long time and discovered that this deepwater ck serpent was already at the peak of second stage of truth realm and was almost close to shedding its skin and having aplete transformation, then its length would increase and surpass 3000 feet and it would finally step into the third stage of truth realm. This deepwater ck serpent was at the peak of Truth second stage so Ye Xiwen decided that at the time of refinement, he would keep it at the core of Poisonous dragon water control g array then its overall might would be ten times more than anticipated, and then, it would even be able to give a toughpetition to a third stage master of truth realm. Moreover, during this two weeks time, Ye Xiwen had swallowed the neidans of several deepwater ck serpents he killed, and as a result of that, the quantity of Zhen Yuan inside his body had dramatically reached the peak level, his inner state had also reached the pinnacle of Xiantian Great realm, although Ye Xiwen had yet to cross the barrier between Xiantian and truth realms, but right now, he was strong enough to effortlessly beat a master at the first stage of truth realm, in fact, he would also be able to beat a lot of ordinary masters at the second stage of truth realm. And Ye Xiwen was also able to affirm that if he could swallow the neidan of this gigantic deepwater ck serpent, which was about to have a transformation and could step into the third stage of truth realm any moment, then he would be able to break from the Xiantian realm and would step into the truth realm in one fell swoop. And after stepping into the truth realm, Ye Xiwen could finally be able to effortlessly defeat the masters at the first and second stage of truth realm, in fact, he would be able to easilypete with the masters at the third stage of truth realm, and by relying on the might of Poisonous dragon water control g array, he would even defeat a master of Truth third stage. Ye Xiwen saw that this deepwater ck serpent was in deep slumber and breathing several million Jin of water, setting of intermittent waves of water, but even if it was in deep sleep, its whole body was protected in ayer of Zhen Yuan and an average master simply could not approach it. Since it had almost reached the third stage of truth realm so the amount of Zhen Yuan contained in its gigantic body was simply outrageous. Ye Xiwen did not want to cause anyplications, it was best to perform a sneak attack andpletely kill this gigantic monster in a single move and then that should minimize the fluctuations as well. One must know that numerous sea monsters lurked near the seabed and Ye Xiwen was unaware of them. However, this part of seabed was close to coastline so there weren¡¯t many sea monsters. As one would move farther away from the coastline, one would find innumerable terrifying sea monsters in the depths of the sea. This part of the seabed was at least more than 10,000 meters below the sea level and the pressure was ridiculouslyrge. To be able to survive in such an enormous pressure, the demon beasts had to at least have the cultivation of truth level. The demon beasts with their cultivation less than truth level would be directly crushed to death at this depth, it was simply impossible for Xiantian level demon beasts to survive near the seabed. If the fluctuations were toorge and ended up attracting the attention of other demon beasts then that would be awful. Ye Xiwen had faced a simr situation few days ago and didn¡¯t want the same to happen again,st time he had to give up on his kill and had directly escaped after being attacked by several demon beasts. Also, it was a lot more difficult to deal with sea monsters at such a depth inside the sea. Ye Xiwen fully centralized his concentration on attacking the deepwater ck serpent. ¡°I am aiming for a one shot kill, use the Tianyuan mirror to lock up the area around here, we cannot allow the fluctuations to go past this region.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°Not a big deal.¡± Ye Mo said with a determined look on his face while he was stubbornly staring at that deepwater ck serpent. At that moment, Ye Xiwen moved, his figure seemed just like a sh of streamer as he rushed towards that deepwater ck serpent, however Ye Mo acted even faster and quickly manipted the Tianyuan mirror, which instantly flew out and released a huge screen of scarlet light that immediately hung over the sleeping deepwater ck serpent¡¯s body. A certain range of area waspletely enveloped and locked up by that scarlet curtain along with the gigantic body of this sea monster. And at this time, Ye Xiwen rushed towards that protectiveyer of Zhen Yuan that was covering its body, but he did not hesitate, and in one fell swoop, he rushed past this protective barrier of Zhen Yuan. Although this protective barrier was like an invincible shield that could block attacks, but how could it possibly block Ye Xiwen, in a blink of an eye, he easily pierced through it and rushed towards the actual body of deepwater ck serpent. But right at this time, the deepwater ck serpent instantly sobered up and woke up from its deep slumber. It was rmed when its Zhen Yuan protective shield was directly pierced by Ye Xiwen, it suddenly lifted its head upwards and roared loudly, and showing an unimaginable degree of flexibility, its huge body instantaneously moved. It flung its tail towards Ye Xiwen, setting off endless waves of water, and just like a bulldozer, it swept towards him. Chapter 168 – Steps into the truth realm Chapter 168-1 ¨C Steps into the truth realm Although this deepwater ck serpent was veryrge, but at this time, its degree of flexibility had actually gone far beyond the imagination of many people, it could be said that it was as fast as the lightning. It was able to instantly arrive in front of Ye Xiwen, and suddenly,plete darkness spread in front of his eyes. Due to the sudden and quick movement of such a huge sea monster, it was as if several million Jin of sea water was pressing down overhead and Ye Xiwen was withstanding a relentless pressure. Ye Xiwen was not startled or panicked in this situation and looked coldly at that gigantic deepwater ck serpent. He struck his long de at a strange angle, sting an inexhaustible delight, which directly cleaved the seawater and cut into the body of that deepwater ck serpent. The flesh on the body of deepwater ck serpent was immediately cut open and the loud metal nging sound resounded after the collision of Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack with the bones of the serpent. The intense pain immediately left the deepwater ck serpent rolling on the seafloor. But at this time, the Tianyuan mirror dangled and finally assumed an awe-inspiring pose then released bursts of intermittent scarlet color curtain. The scarlet colored light curtain bumped into the body of deepwater ck serpent and immediately burnt through the protective cover of Zhen Yuan, it even burnt its flesh. ¡°Roar!¡± Deepwater ck snake felt intense pain and started struggling, and while struggling, it released endless amount of toxin in the water which welled up straight towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen did not have the slightest hesitation, and instantly, the rushing toxin waspletely absorbed by the seventeen surfaced Poisonous dragon water control g, not even a shred of toxin was able to reach Ye Xiwen¡¯s side. After absorbing the toxin, there was a faint light shing from the seventeen surfaced Poisonous dragon water control g, this Poisonous dragon water control g was itself just at the first stage of truth realm, or capable of killing the masters at the second stage of truth realm when used by Ye Xiwen, how could it possibly be on par with a deepwater ck serpent that was about to step into the third stage of truth realm. Ye Xiwen sneered loudly and from the whole body of seventeen surfaced Poisonous dragon water control g, seventeenrge and small souls emerged out. These were the souls of seventeen deepwater ck serpents that Ye Xiwen killed so far. They instantly appeared when Ye Xiwen summoned them from the divine toll and all of them rushed towards that deepwater ck serpent one after another. ¡°Boom!¡± Eighteen deepwater ck serpents severely shed and the souls of seventeen deepwater ck serpents immediately began to maliciously attack that deepwater ck serpent, the sea was just like the boiling water, seething and boiling tremendously, it seemed as if the huge serpents were churning the water. When besieged by the seventeen deepwater ck serpents, that gigantic deepwater ck serpent immediately went berserk and started moving crazily and fiercely to fend off and kill those other deepwater ck serpents. With just onesh of its tail, a deepwater ck serpent at the firstyer of truthter was scattered and dispersed in the water, but fortunately, these serpents were actually just condensed energy and could instantly re-gather the dispersed energy to regain its form. Although there was some energy loss, but it was not a big deal for Ye Xiwen, because recently, he had looted the treasures from several groups of pirates in the East China Sea, so it could be said that at the moment, Ye Xiwen was quite wealthy and did notck spirit stones. Ye Xiwen was waiting for an opening, an opportunity. Ye Xiwen had already activated the ¡®Divine calm breath¡¯ technique. Since he already reached the acme level of this technique, above his head, from time to time, a faint trace of white smoke would emerge asionally, it was a sign that this technique¡¯s main function was to invoke good fortune. In the legends about this technique, it was said that practitioner was able to seed three out of five times while using this technique, but there were anomalies as well. Ye Xiwen was waiting for an opportunity, there was a fearless expression on his face and he was ready to attack anytime, without the slightest fear! Finally, the opportunity he was waiting for quickly appeared, under the seize of seventeen deepwater ck serpents and after being constantly irradiated by the terrifying scarlet light of Tianyuan mirror, this deepwater ck serpent¡¯s gigantic body was already covered in countlessrge and small wounds, blood was oozing out from these wounds. From top to bottom, its whole body was covered in lots of nipped and bitten wounds, at some ce, one could see the bones. Regardless of how angry it was, it did not have the means to escape, because it was being attacked by seventeen of its own kind and they were all indestructible souls so it was simply impossible to deal with them. In a sh, Ye Xiwen shot! Full moon beheader! Ye Xiwen was calm and collected, only in a sh, the long de chopped out a bright and dazzling delight which was simr to the stars falling across the expanse of sky in general. The delight went straight towards the deepwater ck serpent, leaving trails along the way, and huge amount of water was instantly vaporized by the terrifying delight. ¡°Puchi!¡± The deepwater ck serpent simply could not react and was instantly beheaded by Ye Xiwen, it entire head was directly severed by the delight. Its gigantic body was still unceasingly twitching on the seabed but could not save it from its doom. Ye Xiwen received back the Poisonous dragon water control g, and all of a sudden, the Lingqi also dispersed. That blow a moment ago was the strongest de attack he could chop out at his current state, under normal circumstances, he could not simply release such a de attack, it was a stunning de attack. There was silence in the sea water, as if it had been silent like this since the time immemorial. Under the protection of Tianyuan mirror, not a shred of fluctuations or sound could go out. Ye Xiwen soon took out the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s neidan and it wasrger than the neidans of other deepwater ck serpents, it was faintly glowing and exuding a dim blue light. Without any hesitation, Ye Xiwen immediately sat cross-legged on the seabed and began to build up his strength, preparing for the actual breakthrough from the Xiantian realm to the truth realm. When Ye Xiwen was at the Xiantian ninth stage, he was able topete with the experts of truth realm, which was already enough to shock everyone, but now, he was going to have an actual breakthrough and step into the truth realm, which also mean that his strength would have a tremendous change. While on the other side, the deepwater ck serpent¡¯s flesh and essence was also instantly andpletely absorbed by the Tianyuan mirror and the mirror began to exude dark-scarlet colored rays of light, which appeared somewhat strange. The Tianyuan mirror was finally on the verge of a breakthrough, after all, in a short period of time, it absorbed the flesh, blood and essence of several deepwater ck serpents. Chapter 168-2 ¨C Steps into the truth realm These deepwater ck snakes were really powerful demon beasts, even strength of one was unimaginable for an average man, but Tianyuan mirror absorbed the essence from seventeen of these deepwater ck serpents, so it could be said that the strength of Tianyuan mirror had started to approach the secondyer of truth realm. Then, after the flesh, blood and essence of this deepwater ck serpent waspletely digested, refined and absorbed by the Tianyuan mirror, its strength could be fully restored to the secondyer of truth realm, then it would be an even more useful weapon in Ye Xiwen¡¯s arsenal. In many cases and considering a lot of situations, Ye Xiwen had to use Tianyuan mirror to settle many things. However,pared with the difficulty of Ye Xiwen¡¯s breakthrough, the recovery of Tianyuan mirror was a much simpler job. Ye Xiwen absorbed the neidan he took out from the bodies of the deepwater ck serpents he killed in thest few days. Originally, he did not dare to absorb the neidan of demon beasts, because the Zhen Yuan of humans and demon beasts was not the same, some people called this Monster Yuan, which was a heterogeneous kind of Zhen Yuan, it was also very violent and chaotic, in fact earlier, Ye Xiwen had hunted many demon beasts, especially when he was still in the forest of Qingfeng Mountain, there he hunted a lot of demon beasts, but he would always rece the demon cores with low-grade spirit stones, because he did not dare to absorb them directly, the direct and casual absorption could suddenly explode his body and kill him. However, now the situation was very different from what it used to be back then, before absorbing the energy from neidan, Ye Xiwen would first filter it using the Tianyuan mirror, and after filtering the energy, it would be the same as the Zhen Yuan present in his body, removing a lot of impurities and making it even better and much more pure than the Zhen Yuan already present in his body, so Ye Xiwen could rest assure and freely absorb the refined energy from the neidan. In a sh, the massive amount of energy contained in the neidan of the this gigantic deepwater ck serpent began to gradually enter the body of Ye Xiwen body, it was like the resentful soul of the deepwater ck serpent, which was condensed in its neidan, and now, it was not extinguishing and firmly attaching itself to the neidan. Ye Xiwen simply did not mind, he began to mobilize Zhen Yuan repression, and soon, the digestion of deepwater ck serpent slowly progressed, its soul getting smaller and smaller. And Ye Xiwen was bing more and more powerful, while his imposing aura was also increasing gradually and bing more and more terrifying. During Ye Xiwen¡¯s breathing, the surrounding seawater formed waterspout along with his respiration. His strength had already reached deeply into the exceptionally terrifying realm. The imposing aura of Ye Xiwen finally started to increase sessively at a very high speed. After a long time passed, Tianyuan mirror finally andpletely refined the flesh, blood and essence of the deepwater ck serpent, and thanks to this, Ye Mo was able to finally restore the mirror to the strength of second stage of truth realm, and now, it strength was enough to suppress most of the masters at the second stage of truth realm. At this time, Ye Mo finally came out of the Tianyuan mirror and took shape. Originally, the image of the Ye Mo was that of a little devil, but now, he transformed and took image of a young student, with elegant bearing, a green meek clothing, had several points of bearing actually, but could not conceal the breath of a devil, he appeared was somewhat nondescript. However, he had always been a tool spirit and tool spirits did not have a fixed image, the image they took was always ording with the master¡¯s preferences. Ye Mo¡¯s previous master was a peerless Great devil king, so Ye Mo ended up having an image of a little devil as his master would have imagined him, but now his host was a human, so he also became a human, and for Ye Mo, it was all the same, nothing was uneptable to him. Ye Mo looked somewhat bored while watching the imposing aura of Ye Xiwen growing bit by bit towards the final breakthrough from Xiantian realm to truth realm, but although he lookedzy and bored, but he was still very vignt. The Tianyuan mirror was working nonstop to mask all the fluctuations in the surroundings of Ye Xiwen, in order to avoid another attack from nearby sea monsters, which might lead to a considerable dy in the breakthrough of Ye Xiwen. And the seventeen surfaced Poisonous dragon water control g was also constantly floating, all prepared to guard against the possibility of emergence of the enemy. At this time, Ye Xiwen wrinkled his eyebrows, the refined heterogeneous energy had been fully digested within in his body, and the Zhen Yuan had also be much more vigorous and reached a much higher level than before, when it came to purity. He nned to direct this iparably pure and vigorous Zhen Yuan to open up the gate to the truth realm. Stepping into the truth realm was said the second major hurdle in the life of a martial artist, because unlike human beings, there were a lot of demon beasts or devil races who were born directly in the Xiantian realm, and by the time they reached adulthood, they would automatically step into the truth realm without any hindrance. For human beings, breaking through to the truth realm was even more difficult than to the difficulty of practicing and breaking through all the way from the Houtian realm to the peak of Xiantian realm put together. In order to step into the Xiantian realm from the Houtian realm, it was necessary to open up the world bridge. So during that transition, when the world bridge was opened up, it allowed the body to switch from the initial closed state in the Houtian realm, to open state in the Xiantian realm. The experts of the truth realm were considered honorable people, which meant that from the time they entered into the truth realm from Xiantian realm, they would give up affectation and go back to the nature, then there would be no value of some representations, there would only be the value of the true essence of the world. Only after stepping into the truth realm, one could finallye in contact with the world¡¯s true essence andws. It was a new beginning and a brand-new process. Impact! Unceasing impact! Compared to other people who would find it very difficult to make an impact on the boundary of the truth, Ye Xiwen had the advantage that he had alreadyprehended the basicws of the world, because the truth realm needs the master toprehend the worldws, and he had almostprehended the requiredws by using the mysterious space, and now, he was relying on it and the strength of newly acquired vigorous Zhen Yuan to have a breakthrough. Did not know how much time had passed already, in the depths of the sea, there was no sense of day or night! ¡°Boom!¡± An enormous breath burst out from the body of Ye Xiwen, it was one type of intense imposing aura which was entirely different from his former imposing aura and apletely different breath was overflowing the surroundings. Ye Xiwen opened his eyes in the water! He had finally stepped into the truth realm! Chapter 169 – Bai Mojiao’s plot Chapter 169-1 Bai Mojiao¡¯s plot Truth realm! Ye Xiwen finally had a breakthrough and stepped into the truth realm. He aplished an unfathomable feat, something that was simply impossible for others to even contemte, in this short span of a year, he stepped into the truth realm and became a true disciple! He could feel the changes in his body, which was glowing with vitality, a kind of vigorous and turbulent energy was flowing within his body that was entirely different from how it used to be when he was in Xiantian realm. Sure enough, there was a huge difference between truth realm and Xiantian, just like the difference between heaven and earth! Although he went merely a step forward, but he was fully able to feel apletely different and much more formidable strength than before. This was the genuine power of the truth realm! Relying on the beforehand and deep umtion of energy from the neidans of eighteen deepwater ck serpents,st of them being almost at the third stage of truth realm, Ye Xiwen rushed all the way to the peak of first stage of truth realm and was ready to cross over this one line and step into the second stage of truth realm. Now, Ye Xiwen could easilypete with invincible masters at the third stage of truth realm, and even if he ran into a master like that Elder Jin Xuan, he would be able to defend himself, in fact, by drawing support from the Poisonous dragon water control g array, it would be quite easy for Ye Xiwen to fight him off. Ye Xiwen got up and began the sacrifice of thest deepwater ck serpent¡¯s soul for refining thest piece of Poisonous dragon water control g array. At present, Ye Xiwen had already stepped into the truth realm and tremendous change urred in his strengthpared to his earlier strength. Regarding the matter of refining the Poisonous dragon water control g array, it was just going to be an easy job for him, it was nothing more than a child¡¯s y for him, and he seemed unusually very familiar with the refining process as well since he had already done it once before. Soon, the strongest piece for refining the Poisonous dragon water control g array was alsoplete. It skimmed out and joined the seventeen surfaced Poisonous dragon water control g to form a resonance rtion. The g array was finallyplete, and now, the only thing left was to constantly increase the might of this Poisonous dragon water control g. Since it was needed to behead and refine poisonous dragons to make a genuine Poisonous dragon water control g array, so the Poisonous dragon water control g array refined by Ye Xiwen was only a imitation of the real thing and its might was certainly far less. Later, he would have to behead more deepwater ck serpents and refine their souls in order to increase the might of this divine tool. Ye Xiwen got up and set out towards the sea surface, he was about to head in the direction of Qianji Ind in order to meet up with the other people from Yi Yuan School before the gathering, but suddenly, a violent fluctuation of formidable moqi came rushing towards Ye Xiwen. (NT: Moqi = Devilqi) ¡°There are devils in the East China Sea!¡± Ye Xiwen immediately gawked and eximed all of a sudden a moment, this was totally unexpected, and from the type of moqi, Ye Xiwen could not make a mistake. ¡°Big fluctuation!¡± Ye Xiwen was less than 10 Li away from the source of this fluctuation, this moqi was mighty and very formidable. Ye Xiwen did not move, just advanced in that direction while quietly lurking, because he could sense a terrifying presence from the source of that moqi that seemed to possess an intimidating breath. Ye Xiwen did not take much time to realize that the mighty moqi was just too enormous and extremely powerful. It immediately attracted the attention of numerous formidable demon beasts lurking near the seabed. Many truth level demon beasts swam up from the seabed, the violent surge of Zhen Yuan turned sea water into numerous water-swords, which were emitted at once and rushed towards the group of devils, but simply could not be get close to them. The water-swords were directly crushed in session. Some of the devils in this group were horrifyingly formidable. ¡°Who are they, to think they are actually so fierce!¡± Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes after witnessing this scene and did not know what to think, ¡°Also, for what reason will the devil racee to the East China Sea?¡± Ye Xiwen felt somewhat strange, he advanced quietly and stealthily to have a look, but suddenly, a humming sound resounded in the sea. ¡°Who are you people, actually dare to enter the territory of this Heishui!¡± It was actually the voice of a human, which immediately left Ye Xiwen in a very panic-stricken state. When demon beasts could speak in a human voice, with or without attaining an actual human form, it could be said that it was definitely a terrifying existence among the demon beasts and its intelligence was generally no less than intelligence possessed by human beings. And these highly intelligent demon beasts were often very formidable and scary. ¡°Heishui, could it be that you do not remember an old friend?¡± A voice came from the group of devils and suddenly said, apanied by a burst ofughter. ¡°It¡¯s you? Come in!¡± The voice said and went silent soon after finishing, and soon, arge group of devils and sea beasts were weed inside a cave mansion. Ye Xiwen slightly hesitated but decided to have a look at what was going on, he already had a feeling that once again, devil race was certainly up to no good and must be nning something big. Ye Xiwen pulled out the Poisonous dragon water control g, and at the same time, he took possession of the incarnation of the g and transformed into a deepwater ck serpent, leisurely swim in the water. Ye Xiwen had already practiced the ¡®Restraining breath technique¡¯ to the acme level, and after reaching the perfection of this technique, even the demon beast in the sea would be unable to sense that there was something wrong, that it was actually a human transformed as a demon beast. Ye Xiwen swam all the way forward, and soon, a cave mansion appeared in front him. He began to swim slowly towards the entrance, but suddenly, a divine perception swept over Ye Xiwen in order to confirm that he was not a threat then he was received by this divine perception. Ye Xiwen was secretly relieved, it got really too dangerous a moment ago, but fortunately, he had practiced the ¡®Restraining breath technique¡¯ to the perfection level, in addition to that, his soul waspletely enveloped inside the soul of the deepwater ck serpent, so he was not discovered. If he was discovered here then he might get in big trouble, one must know that at this ce, there were too many of these truth level demon beasts. Ye Xiwen knew very well that if his identity of being a human was discovered, other than making a quick escape, he would have no other way out. Moreover, themotion would possibly rm the other formidable demon beasts, and at that time, it would actually be a dead end for him. Chapter 169-2 Bai Mojiao¡¯s plot Ye Xiwen was pretending to swim casually and carelessly and arrived next to the demon beast that was responsible for the guarding looked at Ye Xiwen, but did not care too much, because while using the Poisonous dragon water control g, Ye Xiwen had chosen to transform into the first deepwater ck serpent he killed, the same one that had recently reached adulthood by stepping into the first stage of truth realm. Also, right now, Ye Xiwen¡¯s consciousness had not developed fully and even after transforming, he was just strolling around everywhere, but from the familiar smell, he could confirm that this ce was really the Heishui¡¯s mansion, there was no doubt about it. Ye Xiwen was slowly wandering into the depths of the Cave mansion, and at a distant ce, he took a glimpse and actually saw the group of devils speaking with a huge deepwater ck serpent. He saw that this deepwater ck serpent¡¯s size was easily more than ten thousand feet. It was lying horizontally on the ground, the brilliance and toughness of its skins was entirely different than the general deepwater ck serpents. This deepwater ck serpent¡¯s body was densely covered in numerous thick scales, and even had four limbs, which definitely should not have been possible in case of ordinary deepwater ck serpents. Although the entire body was almost ten thousand feet long, but with respect to its huge body, it seemed somewhat deformed and small, even its head had grown out of its body at a tender and immature angle. Seeing this scene, Ye Xiwen immediately held his breath and gasped for a moment. Indeed, this was definitely the deepwater ck snake king, moreover it could be seen that there were all sorts of signs indicating that this deepwater ck serpent would soon transform into a water dragon. Ye Xiwen could see many signs, it was clearly visible that its scales would melt soon, the abnormal four limbs, the angled head. All of these signs clearly dered that this deepwater ck serpent king would soon evolve into a water dragon. Water dragon was considered a creature of the legendary realm. It could be said that it was a transition species between demon beast and real dragons and contained dragon blood in its blood vessels. Legends said that when true dragons took birth directly in the legendary realm of birth and by the time they reached adulthood, their strength would have already reached outrageous proportions. Dragons were mythical creatures and were the so-called ominous beasts and even one was enough to bring chaos and disaster upon Yi Yuan School. However, although water dragon was not a real dragon and their species was obviously inferior to the real dragon species, but just like real dragons, water dragon species had also be part of myths and legends. It was extremely rare for someone to see a water dragon, no one knew how many years had passed since thest time someone saw a water dragon. Water dragons were the beasts of legendary realm, and perhaps, there were some hiding in the depths of East China Sea! ¡°It¡¯s actually a deepwater ck serpent king that is soon going to transform into a water dragon, it¡¯s a big fortune Ye Xiwen, a big good luck!¡± Ye Mo¡¯s excited voice resounded in the mind of Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen simply did not care about what he said. How was a deepwater ck serpent that soon going to transform into a water dragon was a big good luck? As if Ye Xiwen could go and easily kill him. While Ye Xiwen was living his unstated criticism time, a divine perception of that deepwater ck serpent king swept over towards Ye Xiwen, and when it swept over Ye Xiwen, the serpent king found a deepwater ck serpent, but he did not doubt anything and took back the divine perception, thinking that Ye Xiwen was one of his own descendants. In fact, the areas surrounding the Heishui cave mansion was actually the territory of deepwater ck serpent king and all of the deepwater ck serpents living in this area were his children and grandchildren. The small deepwater ck serpent, which Ye Xiwen had transformed into, appeared as a new adult who did not have much intelligence yet and was blindly swaying everywhere in the water. Of course, he did not know that a human being was hidden within the soul of this young deepwater back serpent, and not just that, this human had also killed several of his children and grandchildren and intended to kill many more. Otherwise he would chase Ye Xiwen to the ends of the world in order to kill him. Ye Xiwen actually saw that the huge body of deepwater ck serpent king had condensed out a humanoid soul that was talking to the group of devils. The ordinary deepwater ck serpents could never disy such an amazing ability, it was indeed the deepwater ck serpent king that was soon going to transform into the water dragon. Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes once again turned towards the group of devils. He actually saw that their leader was a young man, d in a bright colored robed, the corners of his mouth were curled up in a smile and there was a happy expression on his face, but at this time, Ye Xiwen felt a terrifying and peerless auraing out from his body and it was unexpectedly not weaker than that of the deepwater de serpent king. That said, it turned out that he was actually a fearful character and was already in the half-step legendary realm. After this young man, Ye Xiwen¡¯s vision also located an old acquaintance in the group of devils, Prince Mo Yan. Ye Xiwen did not expect to see him in the team, andpared to a few months ago, now, his strength had shown a rapid progress. Now, he was no longer just a master of the Xiantian realm but the master of truth realm. Although, there was instability in the aura of Prince Mo Yan, might be because not much time passed since he entered into the truth realm, but it was enough to prove that during these few months, Prince Mo Yan must have had a fortuitous encounter and obtained great benefits. Behind Prince Mo Yan, there were a total of six people, wrapped in shadow-like cloaks, and among these shadows, the strength of each was not simple. All of them were the masters of the truth realm, including both weak and super truth level masters. Ye Xiwen then finally discovered that he actually made a mistake, this was not just the team of devils, but was actually a team of Bai Mojiao. But that was also simr, apparently there were the Bai Mojiao infested areas, so one could certainly not avoid the devils. ¡°Lu Hongwei, tell me, why have youe this time?¡± The humanoid soul of deepwater ck serpent king said, although the expression was very vague, it was not a clear expression, but one could certainly sense careless tone in it. What! He actually turned out to be Lu Hongwei! Ye Xiwen suddenly gawked when he heard the name, Lu Hongwei. It was definitely an illustrious name and during the turmoil of Bai Mojiao hundred years ago, the name had be very infamous and legendary. At that time, he was already an extremely powerful character, it could be said that his strength wasparable to the strength of the top four disciples of Yi Yuan School. He was also considered the strongest in the younger generation of devils in the Great Yue State. Chapter 170 – Arrives at Qianji Island Chapter 170-1 ¨C Arrives at Qianji Ind Lu Hongwei was considered a very illustrious and infamous character in those times when Bai Mojiao was most active, his strength wasparable to the four strongest true disciples of Yi Yuan School. Ye Xiwen looked carefully and noticed that his strength was not inferior to that of Qi Feifan, in fact, he was also a peerless master of half-step into the legendary realm. Among the four strongest true disciples of Yi Yuan School, excluding Qi Feifan, who had ate rise to the ranks of strongest four, all of the other three strongest true disciples had fought with Lu Hongwei, although none of the three could ever defeat him, but weren¡¯t defeated either, and this clearly showed the immense strength of Lu Hongwei. Ye Xiwen was being very careful because if any one of these two peerless masters discovered that there was something strange or suspicious, then he would not be able to escape, it would certainly be a dead end for him. ¡°Hundred years have gone, but Heishui, you are just like you used to be back then.¡± Lu Hongwei actually did not hurry to reply and said in a rxed manner. ¡°If you have something to say, say it directly.¡± The deepwater ck serpent king said in amanding voice, clearly disying the demeanor of an experienced superior, although he originally had the origin of a demon beast, but he was the so-called legendary millennium flood dragon, he had lived through thousands of years, it was hard to imagine the extent of his experience. Demon beast weren¡¯t usually as wily and cunning as human beings, but in the case of an old monster like deepwater ck serpent king, once could be absolutely sure that he was wily and experienced. ¡°The five forces of Great Yue state are going to unite, they are going to have a gathering on Qianji Ind to confirm their friendly coboration. Do you know about this?¡± Lu Hongwei did not beat around the bush and directly said. ¡°This matter concerns you human being, why should I know about it?¡± Deepwater ck serpent king indifferently said. ¡°Heishui, this statement of yours seems groundless.¡± Lu Hongwei said with a faint smile. ¡°Other demon beasts are ignorant and unconscious about their surroundings, all they know is to ughter and fighting every day, but how could Heishui be ordinary like them.¡± ¡°Well, in the end what do you want from me?¡± Deepwater ck serpent king narrowed his sharp shing eyes and said. ¡°Heishui, as far as I know, for thest few centuries, several forces of Great Yue state have joined up together and have suppressed the development of your territory, which includes several channels and demon beasts thate under your control, am I correct so far?¡± Lu Hongwei said. ¡°Yes, so what?¡± Deepwater ck serpent king, Heishui lightly said. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to get rid of their control, be a side giant influence and do whatever you want?¡± Lu Hongwei curled up the corners of his mouth and said. ¡°Say, Heishui, you do not have the aspirations and ambitions, let those people get terrified!¡± ¡°You do not need to prod me, it¡¯s useless.¡± These words seemed to have failed in stimting the wily and experienced Heishui. Heishui vaguely knew what the other party was talking about, but he would not swallow the bait so easily. The existence of five big forces of the Great Yue state was like a relentless pressure that he had no choice but to withstand, while he was like a loach, surviving in the crevice! He was already aware of the fact that the number of legendary masters among the five forces was calcted in tens, not to mention he was just at the half-step legendary level. ¡°This time, our Bai Mojiao organization is nning to subvert the rule of Great Yue state in one fell swoop, and use it as a springboard, to bring the rule of devil world in this world.¡± Lu Hongwei did not mind to put out the highest secret and openly said this to Heishui. Perhaps, this was the most important secret that most people did not know, the true motive of a notorious organization like Bai Mojiao was not known to everyone, but it was quite useless to inform the people about this because anyway it was necessary to defeat Bai Mojiao. ¡°You need us?¡± Heishui said but did not seem very interested in this topic, even if the devil race came to this world, he did not care much because he was the ruler of demon beasts in the deep sea and his influence was not that great, ¡°I know Bai Mojiao¡¯s influence is very huge, subverting the rule of Great Yue state is only a matter of time.¡± ¡°Yes, our Bai Mojiao¡¯s influence is very huge indeed, far more powerful than what you can imagine at this moment, but even if we are so formidable, we have quite a formidable opponent, so we need as much support as we can draw.¡± Lu Hongwei lightly said. ¡°We will unite all forces that can be united, and this time, we will give those five forces a lesson on the Qianji Ind.¡± ¡°So what, even if you go to the Qianji Ind and attack the five forces during their gathering, even if you kill most of them, is it still not enough to cause heavy losses to them.¡± Heishui disdainfully said. ¡°This is a war and will probablyst for a long time, and we do not intend to finish it off in one shot, it is impossible to defeat them in so quickly, it has to be done slowly and gradually and this is one of the steps of the main n.¡± Lu Hongwei said, ¡°What do you say, you must consider helping us, this is the one time opportunity for a sea monster like you toe ashore, expect our Bai Mojiao, there are no human forces who will allow you toe ashore.¡± Heishui seemed quite interested, after all, nobody wanted to have to live an entire life in this dark ce, especially a truth master who were said to have gotten rid of many features of life and wanted to explore the entire world and learn about the variousws of this world. Just like the truth level human experts could breathe in the water, the truth level sea beasts could breathe ashore, this was mutual, in fact, even Xiantian level sea beasts could a few days on the shore. (NT: Sorry guys, I am extremely busy with real life stuff, thankfully I got time to trante this chapter. I will somehow find time to release the pending regr chapters by Sunday. You can donate for next week¡¯s sponsored chapters if you want, but this chapter is going to be the only sponsored chapter for this week, for now, I n to concentrate on regr chapters.) Chapter 170-2 ¨C Arrives at Qianji Ind ¡°But, I heard that this time, high level experts from various sects ising to the gathering, so even if I go, it will be useless!¡± Heishui said. ¡°Rest assured, they will note, some of our people will constrain them.¡± Lu Hongwei indifferently said. At the same time, Ye Xiwen was listening on the side and was suddenly startled because he never expected that Lu Hongwei woulde here and that too for such a purpose, that he was nning such a conspiracy. ¡°Well, in that case, we will join you, my children also need to go out of this ce, but still, after all of this is finished, we want at least 30 county prefecture of the Great Yue coastal region.¡± Heishui said. ¡°No problem.¡± Lu Hongwei said. ¡°It seems that this trip to the Qianji Ind will not be a smooth one.¡± Ye Xiwen did not continue to eavesdrop and slowly swam out of the cave pce, disguised as a young deepwater ck serpent, he didn¡¯t get discovered and slowly swam away without getting into trouble. After leaving the territory of Heishui, Ye Xiwen transformed back to his human form. ¡°These devils from Bai Mojiao have spread everywhere and are trying to win the support from various forces and its tentacles even extend into the deep sea.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a somewhat worried tone, although this level of fighting was not a big threat for him, now that he had stepped into the truth level, but it did not mean that he would not care, in fact, he was quite concerned about it, because even in his past life, he was a human, and in this life as well, he was a human so how could he so easily ept the rule of the devils, let alone these devils were so brutal. ¡°I need to first rush to the Qianji Ind and inform the sect about this.¡± Ye Xiwen decided in his heart. Ye Xiwen felt particrly heavy in his heart, he could clearly sense that a great storm was going to hit this world and bring utmost chaos. The actions of Bai Mojiao made him have a sense of approaching danger, this was the so-called feeling of having Goosebumps, because once Yi Yuan School copsed, then the consequences would simply be unimaginable. At present, Ye Xiwen just now stepped into the truth realm and at his current strength, a truth level master like him was indeed considered strong in the Great Yue state, not to mention, Great Yue state was considered one of the strongest states in this big world. But, even if Ye Xiwen went to the most powerful country, he would still have a certain status and would not be considering as some weakling. It could be said that only after achieving the truth realm, one could actually travel to the various States, but the Great Yue State would always be Ye Xiwen¡¯s mother ce, where his foundation lied, not to mention he was not alone. If he was alone, he could go wandering around the world and do what he wanted without caring about anyone or anything, but he was not. He still had his family and friends, and all of this was going to change a lot of things, and could endanger his family and friends, so he could not just stand idly and watch. He must get involved! Devil race would bring about war, destruction and chaos! If the very existence of devil race invoked destruction and chaos everywhere they went, if the devil race must win all that is present in front of their eyes, then Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have a choice but to prepare himself for the extermination of devil race! This was the first time when Ye Xiwen had a strong wish to destroy an entire race! In this entire world, to Ye Xiwen, his family was the most cherished thing, regardless of who tried to threaten their safety, he would treat them as his sworn enemy, even if the other party was the so-called infamous and terrifying devil race. If they threatened the safety of his family then he wouldn¡¯t mind to eradicate their entire race if he had to in order to ensure the safety of his family. Meanwhile, Ye Xiwen also had a feeling of urgency, his cultivation was far from enough, although it could be said that truth level experts had the qualifications to participate in the mighty waves of war, but they were merely capable of performing as the one of the pawns, let alone acting as chess yers, in fact, Ye Xiwen was not even capable of being the weighty chess piece. Only the masters at the level of those four strongest true disciples could be considered as weighty chess piece! The intense sense of urgency was forcing Ye Xiwen to have unceasing promotion in strength, and now, he must have a rapid growth in strength in a short time. Although Lu Hongwei also said that this fight might not end in a short period of time, but this short period of time was probably ten years or less, once could not really say how much growth a truth level master would have during this time, because for a true disciple like Ye Xiwen, this much of time was not going to be enough to have breakthroughs and level up. After that, Ye Xiwen quickly turned around and swam out of the sea, the intermittent waves of sea breeze was blowing against his face, Ye Xiwen looked at the nautical map, and after ascertaining his position and the rtive position of his destination, Qianji Ind, he flew in the direction of Qianji Ind while riding a divine rainbow and instantly disappeared into the horizon. Unknowingly, Ye Xiwen had prated very far into the East China Sea, but Qianji Ind was rtively close to the coastline so he had to make a long flight to reach there. The flight to the Qianji Ind took more than two days time and Ye Xiwen finally approached it. Qianji Ind was a veryrge ind, it was known as the territory of 1,000 ns, so the infrastructure on this ind was actually ready-made and seemed quite extensive. Soon, Ye Xiwen flew into the range of Qianji Ind, and from afar, he saw some people at dispute. ¡°Sister Hua, I have adored you for a long time, so long as you say yes, I will immediately go back and make my fathere to propose for our marriage.¡± Chapter 171 – Rolling in the mud! Chapter 171 ¨C Rolling in the mud! ¡°Sister Hua, I have adored you for a long time, so long as you say yes, I will immediately go back and make my fathere to propose for our marriage.¡± Ye Xiwen looked and saw that it was a young disciple, and looking at the clothes he was wearing, one could easily make out that it was actually the dress of Liu Yuncheng disciples. Among the four big forces, Liu Yuncheng had always been rtively close to the royal n, which itself possessed formidable strength, and not just that, Liu Yuncheng had always been supported by the royal n, so this was one of the reasons why the royal n had always been the most powerful among all the big forces of Great Yue State. A bunch of other Liu Yuncheng disciples were standing behind that young disciple. ¡°Pardon me young city lord but I have no interest in you.¡± Hua Menghan frowned and said. ¡°Also, I want to request young city lord to not waste any thoughts regarding this matter.¡± The young city lord was about to continued speaking about it, when suddenly, with a loud bang, Ye Xiwennded on the ground, and directly ignoring that young city lord, he arrived in front of Hua Menghan. ¡°Ye Xiwen?¡± Hua Menghan did not expect to meet Ye Xiwen at this time, he was not present in the team of Yi Yuan School when the team left for Qianji Ind and there was also no sign of him for thest several days. ¡°Where is the deputy-head? I have something important to inform him.¡± Ye Xiwen said directly, because for him, at this moment, this was the most important matter, of course, Bai Mojiao joined forces with Heishui and his army of sea beasts and was nning to attack Qianji Ind during the gathering of five forces, but ording to him, this coboration between Bai Mojiao and Heishui could not be so simple and must not be taken lightly. This time, the gathering of five big forces of Great Yue state would most likely turn into a huge collision between the two sides, so nothing was more important than this matter and the deputy-head must be informed about it as soon as possible. Ye Xiwen knew that in this gathering, Yi Yuan School¡¯s team was going to be led by the deputy-head of Yi Yuan School. ¡°Who are you?¡± When the young city lord saw that Ye Xiwen suddenly arrived and started talking with Hua Menghan, without paying attention to him, he suddenly felt very ufortable. ¡°This matter is very important!¡± Ye Xiwen looked at Hua Menghan and said. Hua Menghan also seemed to feel that Ye Xiwen was not joking, she nodded and said, ¡°Deputy-head did note together with us, our leader this time is Brother Qi Feifan.¡± ¡°You insolent boy, cannot you hear that our young city lord is talking to you?¡± At this time, standing behind that young city lord, a loud mor suddenly resounded, it actually belonged to a master of Xiantian Great realm, and not just him, there were several other masters of Xiantian Great realm standing behind young city lord and all of them were actually his personal attendants. (NT: Xiantian ninth stage< Xiantian Great< Half-step truth realm< Truth first stage) And Ye Xiwen also found an old man standing not far from him and he was at the second stage of truth realm. Perhaps the status of this young city lord in Liu Yuncheng should not be low, because he was actually at the first stage of truth realm, and one could easily guess that his future prospects were boundless! Moreover, he was called young city lord and should be one of the respected families of Liu Yuncheng, and there was possibility that he might be the direct disciple of Liu n, the vein of Liu Yuncheng¡¯s city lord. But, a member of Yi Yuan School was far more different from a member of Liu Yuncheng. The disciples of Liu Yuncheng were rtively fixed, basically a direct descendant of therge or small families of Liu Yuncheng, and it also had the vein of the city lord and four influential ns, making five big influences of Liu Yuncheng. The strength of these five big influences was very enormous. And this system was only followed in the royal n and Liu Yuncheng. The ranking system followed in these two forces was very strict, from the beginning to end, these two forces had implemented a stern hierarchy, the suppression from the direct descendant of the lineage, the suppression of the low-status people from the high-status people. However, in the case of Yi Yuan School, this type of ranking system based on lineage rarely urred. All of the disciples were ambitious to climb upwards, all only spoke with strength and talent, those who were powerful and highly talented high would naturally get better training and more resources from the sect, irrespective of their lineage. However, Liu Yuncheng was no different than royal n, both of these forces differentiated based on bloodline, the people of noble blood would naturally get more resources, andpared to several other forces, the royal n could get various resources of the country to support their disciples, so even if it was a kind of an abnormal policy, but it had still ensured the formidable strength of Liu Yuncheng and royal n. Although the system of differentiating based on the bloodline seemed somewhat biased, but it was undeniable that this was by no means without reason, because there has been gic improvement in the royal n over the years, as well as many of the strong men of royal n had left more descendants. There were often many talented ones among these children of the royal n, and asionally, there would be the appearance of some peerless genius, who could maintain the prosperousness of the royal n. However, Ye Xiwen simply did not care about these things, he immediately shouted to clear the way: ¡°Get lost, do not hinder me!¡± That young city lord¡¯splexion suddenly became very unsightly, he was the young city lord, a nobility, it could be said that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his strength was outstanding, was a master at the first stage of truth realm, even among the younger generation, he was considered a genius, sufficient to rule the roost, how could an existence like him be ignored and disrespected so casually? ¡°Boy, do you know who you¡¯re talking to?¡± A warrior, standing behind that young city lord, gave a loud shout and a big hand made up of Lingqi instantly grasped towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted loudly, sending terrifying sound waves towards the iing big hand. These sound waves were just like the sonic arrows which directly punctured the big hand made up of Lingqi. ¡°At present, I don¡¯t have free time to y with you, do not mess with me.¡± Ye Xiwen knitted his eyebrows and coldly said, he simply did not want to waste time on this spoiled son of a rich and influential n. ¡°You are courting death!¡± The young city lord could not bear anymore, he was enduring not because he was good natured, but he actually wanted to maintain a good image in front of Hua Menghan and nothing more, but after hearing the words of Ye Xiwen, he lost his self-control. Right now, suddenly a feeling of embarrassment appeared in the heart of the young city lord, it was as if he was like a child who asked for a candy from an adult, and the adult said something very rude, so the child started rolling in the mud to force the adult to fulfill his wish, but the adult said that he had no time to apany him ying in the mud! This feeling of being inferior to Ye Xiwen made him have an ashamed feeling, his face turned red like a red fruit, this was a type of an extreme feeling of being embarrassed. He was trying to act normal all this time because Hua Menghan was also present there, but in the end, he could not bear anymore. Hundred stages god fist! A fist fiercely rumbled towards Ye Xiwen, the Quanjin went across the sky and instantly advanced towards Ye Xiwen, the strength contained in this fist attack had already reached an extreme level, one could see that young city lord was not intending to give Ye Xiwen an opportunity to react. (NT: Quanjin = Fist strength) A cold light shed in the eyes of Ye Xiwen, he did not expect that the other party would actually dare to attack him all of a sudden, moreover, he also seemed to have used his best and most powerful attack against Ye Xiwen. One could imagine the vicious intention in the heart of the young city lord. This technique called ¡®hundred stages god fist¡¯ was exactly the same technique used by Dai Xiaohua, butpared to the fist technique of Dai Xiaohua, this was much more exquisite and countless times powerful, it could be seen that had almost reached the stage of perfection. (NT: Ye Xiwen met and befriended Dai Xiaohua during the Fire Lin beast incident. Dai Xiaohua belongs to Dai n, one of the ns of Liu Yuncheng) Although the young city lord was quite annoying, but Ye Xiwen had to admit that he was capable enough to practice the ¡®hundred stage god fist¡¯ to such an extent. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and rushed towards the opposite party, at this time, Ye Xiwen certainly would not retreat, he sted an average fist towards the young city lord. It was not a fist technique. It was just an average mediocre punch,pletely without any gaudiness and skill, just an average fist. There was nothing to simplify, it did not contain the unsurpassed deep meaning of some fist technique, it just simply relied on the fact that even an average fist of Ye Xiwen, without any skill or technique, was enough to crush that young city lord. ¡°Boom!¡± Two fists fiercely collided together, and instantly, the fist pressure caused due to the collision set off an endless st of intermittent waves of thunderstorms, apanied by loud sounds, causing several air explosions that sent shock waves in all directions. ¡°Ta, ta, ta!¡± The young city lord withdrew several sessive steps before stopping. ¡°Well, big power and prestige, good way to vent off the anger.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, his figure flickered, and instantly, he rushed towards the young city lord and sted his fist at him, again without the slightest skill, but this time, way before the fist could arrive, the terrifying fist pressure arrived in front of young city lord and pressed down on his body. When Ye Xiwen was at the Xiantian ninth stage, he was able to fight off a master at first stage of truth realm, and now that he had stepped into the truth realm, he was easily able to fight off a master at the second stage of truth realm, and he could alsopete with a master at the third stage of truth realm. One must know that the difference between each of the nine stages of truth realm was unimaginable big. Although right now, both Ye Xiwen and young city lord were at the first stage of truth realm, but the skill of Ye Xiwen had already reached a fearful point, and when he shot his fist, itpletely manifested the true strength of Ye Xiwen, which was far more than the strength of a master at the first stage of truth realm. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying coercion severely pressed upon his body. ¡°Poof!¡± That young city lord spouted a mouthful of blood, there was a panic-stricken look in his eyes, he just did could not believe that Ye Xiwen would actually be intrepid to such an extent. Ye Xiwen had already practiced ¡®restraining breath technique¡¯ to a very profound level, and while using it, he could hide arge section of his breath, so in the eyes of people, Ye Xiwen seemed like a warrior at the first stage of truth realm, they couldn¡¯t feel his extraordinary strength, he just seemed like an expert who recently stepped into the truth realm. However, after Ye Xiwenpletely released him imposing aura, an rmed and terrified look appeared on the face of young city lord when he discovered that the true strength of Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was far beyond his imagination. The fist attack of Ye Xiwen encroached towards young city lord and arrived in front of him. The young city lord panicked and also issued several moves of ¡®hundred stages god fist¡¯, but it was all in vain when all his attacks werepletely crushed by an average fist attack of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Stop!¡± At this time, the old man, who was observing from the side could not bear to watch anymore and directly shot his fists towards Ye Xiwen. This technique was ¡®hundred stages god fist¡¯ and was much more powerful than the ¡®hundred stages god fist¡¯ of young city lord. The terrifying might of this technique, umted over so many years, was finally disyed instantaneously. Chapter 172 – Prewar preparation Chapter 172 ¨C Prewar preparation Hundred stages god fist was a very widespread fist technique, it was not just popr in Yuncheng, but also in other sects as well, and what this old man just used was an advanced version of this fist technique. Apparently, this old man had practiced it to a very profound level. Hundred stages god fist, hundred times invincibility! Within the scope of hundred stages god fist, the might was invincible, it would take a very brave soul to engage in a closebat with this old man! As a master of the second stage of truth realm, the might of this old man was far more than the might of that young city lord! The air began to explode each time their fists collided. One could also see that the space had begun to crack from these collisions. However, it was still not enough! Ye Xiwen sneered and just like before, he once again threw an average fist against the hundred stages god fist. The Quanjin released from the hundred stages god fist was just like a paper stick in front of the average fist of Ye Xiwen and was instantly broken. The massive Zhen Yuan released from that average fist of Ye Xiwen instantly pressed down towards that old man. It could be said that Ye Xiwen was tuned to immediate action, this statement was most correct to describe him. ¡°How is this possible!¡± The old man looked incredibly at Ye Xiwen. After all, Ye Xiwen was merely at the first stage of truth realm, but the quantity of Zhen Yuan he was disying was really abnormal and out of theprehension of a master at the first stage of truth realm. Perhaps, not even a giant demon beast at the first stage of truth realm would not possess such a massive and profound amount of Zhen Yuan, it should not be possible for a human to possess such a vigorous Zhen Yuan. The amount of Zhen Yuan housed in the body was certainly rted with the size of the body. There was a greater amount of Zhen Yuan within a massive body, so it was obvious that battles would be advantageous for those who possessed greater amount of Zhen Yuan. However, all along, humans never possessed profound and massive amount of Zhen Yuan like the demon beasts, they were known to utilize the superiority of human wisdom to gain advantage over demon beasts. Humans relied on endless variety of secret martial arts and were able to suppress the demon beasts. This was also the reason how human beings had managed to achieve dominance over the continent. And Ye Xiwen was obviously not like other humans, after having practiced the ¡°Tyrants body technique¡±, the meridians within his body had been expanded to the extreme, several times more than that of the ordinary people. One must know that Ye Xiwen was able topletely absorb and digest the neidans of so many monstrous deepwater ck serpents, so it was obvious that the meridians within his body had already widened to the most extreme extent. ¡°Humph!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, his Zhen Yuan was so vigorous and profound that it was enough to finish most of the masters at the third stage of truth realm, let alone a this old man, who was only at the second stage of truth realm. ¡°Boom!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s fist contained an irresistible force, after it eradicated the hundred stages god fist and fiercely rumbled on the fist of that old man. ¡°Kara!¡± Soon, a heart prating sound of breaking bones resounded, and right after that, the old man groaned with pain, his arm was broken, twisted at a strange angle and hanging down, his skinny face was covered with numerous beads of cold sweat. As if, there was storm rampaging in the old man¡¯s heart, he had practiced the hundred stage god fists to the level of perfection, which was quite profound and he was naturally very confident on the strength and sturdiness of his arm, but he did not expect a fist, just an average fist of Ye Xiwen, without any skill or technique, was able to crush his entire arm. But looking at the young appearance of Ye Xiwen, he couldn¡¯t help but shiver a bit, after all, there was a heaven and earth difference between their strengths. The old man was suddenly very depressed because he didn¡¯t know, in the end what kind of body refining technique had Ye Xiwen practiced to achieve such a terrifying strength. He certainly did not know that Ye Xiwen had practiced tyrant body technique, and how overbearing and invincible strength it could grant to the practitioner. It was the technique practiced and developed by the ancient tyrants themselves! Ye Xiwen did not continue to pursue the fight with the old man, just looked coldly at the young city lord. The young city lord¡¯s face was immediately covered in cold sweat, even the body guards of his family had terrified expressions on their faces, they clearly knew that if old man was not the match of Ye Xiwen, they could obviously not take on this opponent. They finally realized that they had made the biggest mistake of provoking a formidable person. The opposite party was a true disciple of Yi Yuan School, his status was not one bit less than the status of young city lord. True disciples were considered elite geniuses, treasures in Yi Yuan School. Based on the ranks, young city lord and Ye Xiwen should be worthy opponents to each other, but when the actual strength was taken into consideration, even though both of them were at the first stage of truth realm, young city lord could barely resist against Ye Xiwen a moment ago, so it was now obvious to everyone that Ye Xiwen was far more stronger than the young city lord. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Xiwen was not in a mood to waste time dealing with these people. Along with Hua Menghan, he directly went towards the station of Yi Yuan School¡¯s team. Looking at their departing figures, theplexion on the face of that young city lord began to gradually be pale, he had never been treated like this before and he had never been defeated like this as well. ¡°I want him dead, I want him dead!¡± The young city lord roared. ¡ª- ¡°Ye Xiwen, why are you in such a hurry this time?¡± Huameng Han asked. ¡°I got the news, Bai Mojiao has been colluding with the forces in the surrounding areas and intends to perform a surprise attack on the gathering of five big forces of Great Yue state.¡± Ye Xiwen said. Earlier, he came to know from Hua Menghan that deputy-head of Yi Yuan School would note, and now he was more determined about the news he heard, so it was truly right, Bai Mojiao was really going to make a big move this time. Both of them were martial artists, although the coastline was from Yi Yuan School¡¯s station, but they were very fast, and not after a while, they returned to the station of Yi Yuan School. ¡°Sister Hua!¡± ¡°Sister Hua!¡± ¡°Brother Ye!¡± The disciples of Yi Yuan School respectfully gave their regards to the two, especially when they saw Ye Xiwen, there were looks of astonishment on their faces. Now, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had already been recognized by everyone, this was the strength of a true disciple, although he had not yet be a true disciple, but the core disciples could no longer dare to address him casually, they could only call him respectfully as ¡®Brother Ye Xiwen¡¯. (NT: Officially, he is still the chief of inner disciples.) They went all the way and soon saw their team leader, Qi Feifan. Qi Feifan was leaning against the window, the sunlight was shining on his golden hair and reflected soft bursts of golden light. Seeing Qi Feifan once again, he did not appear like the way he was when he was fighting that giant devil, because this time, there was a harmless and peaceful look on his face. There was faint smile spread on his handsome face! Ye Xiwen secretly sighed, no wonder they said that even if Qi Feifan was one of the four strongest true disciples, but if the poprity was taken into consideration, he was actually the best, although he joined the rankste, so in terms of support from the elders, he was as good as the other three, but in the hearts of ordinary disciples, his poprity was far more than the other three. ¡°Sister Hua, you seem so anxious to see me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Qi Feifan said. ¡°Brother Qi, Ye Xiwen he has something important to inform you.¡± Hua Menghan said respectfully. ¡°Ye Xiwen greets Brother Qi!¡± Ye Xiwen cupped his hands and said, although the strength of both of them was at the truth realm, the status should also be equal, but thest time, Qi Feifan saved him and his friends, how could Ye Xiwen forget that, ¡°I am deeply grateful for your helpst time.¡± ¡°Oh, I guess you are one of the disciples from the Thousand Inds city.¡± Qi Feifan finally remembered, but at the time, Ye Xiwen was just an ordinary disciple, especially in the eyes of Qi Feifan, who was at the half-step legendary level. However, seeing Ye Xiwen again this time, he could not look the other way, and now, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength had actually reached the truth realm and his breath was even above a master at the second stage of truth realm. Looking at someone with such strength, how could he not pay attention? Regarding Ye Xiwen, these days, even he had heard of his miraculous growth rate and rapid enhancement of strength and cultivation, breaking his own records, which made Ye Xiwen the new myth of Yi Yuan School. Many disciples of the younger generation idolized Ye Xiwen and regarded him as an example. Moreover, there were many rumors that Ye Xiwen was arrogant and despotic, he did not even pay attention to the elders and looked down upon them, but after meeting him in person, Qi Feifan realized that it was not like it! One should notpletely believe the rumors! ¡°Brother Qi has such a good memory, I would havee early to express gratitude but got tied down by many matters.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°No big deal.¡± Qi Feifan said as if it didn¡¯t matter, ¡°Young Ye, what¡¯s this matter you want to inform me about?¡± ¡°This time, I identally learned about the ns of Bai Mojiao ......¡± Ye Xiwen told him about the things he overheard, but he would certainly not borate about his own transformation into a deepwater ck serpent and other things he didn¡¯t want others to find out, so he vaguely passed on the information he obtained, without going into detail. But Qi Feifan did not pay attention to these either, hearing the report from Ye Xiwen, Qi Feifan frowned and said: ¡°Young Ye, you have discovered a very important thing, I will inform the higher authorities about it, but no matter what, this time, we must conduct this gathering!¡± This gathering was not just a way for the five forces to show their strengths but also a method to show their collective strength to other small and big influences of Great Yue state, even if Bai Mojiao was going to attack them, they could not cancel the gathering. Because even if Bai Mojiao¡¯s raid is rendered unsessful or they did not do it, then there was a chance that other forces might be ready to make trouble. Ye Xiwen can feel a terrifying pressureing down towards Yi Yuan School. In order to suppress the strong alliance of the five major forces, Bai Mojiao would definitely have to do something big, things won¡¯t be so simple then. ¡°Lu Hongwei, I have never fought with him before.¡± Qi Feifan immediately said with a smile on his face. The previous uprising of Bai Mojiao urred hundred years ago, and during that turmoil, he was not even born at that time. Among the present strongest four true disciple, only he had not fought with Lu Hongwei, but looking at the illustrious reputation of Lu Hongwei, he always wanted to fight with him. Qi Feifan already confessed that he would not lose to anyone else, even if he waste to join the ranks of the strongest four true disciples, it was not an excuse for him. The gathering of the five forces must continue, but they needed to prepare before. If they didn¡¯t know about it then it was a different matter, but now that already knew about the attack in advance, they naturally could not ignore it. They must prepare to teach those bastards of Bai Mojiao a profound lesson, otherwise it would be a waste of the news brought by Ye Xiwen. After informing Qi Feifan about this matter, there was nothing to worry about. Ye Xiwen finished this thing and soon bid farewell to Qi Feifan. He went to the courtyard reserved for him and began to prepare for closed-door practice. He simply didn¡¯t care about the inner disciplespetition, only after the Bai Mojiao¡¯s attack would he really start caring about other things. Chapter 173 – Rise to fame Chapter 173 ¨C Rise to fame Ye Xiwen did not want to look for trouble, but it did not mean that trouble won¡¯t look for him or his friends. When Ye Xiwen was indulged in closed-door practice, overnight, a news spread throughout Qianji Ind and all the five forces paid attention to it. ¡°Did you hear thetest news? Eighth prince is aiming for that Ye Xiwen of Yi Yuan School. We may be able to see a stunning battle between the two.¡± ¡°What? Eighth prince, the universally invincible genius of this generation from the royal n! He is considered invincible even among the peer disciples of the royal n, but why is he aiming for Ye Xiwen, oh right, who is this Ye Xiwen anyway?¡± ¡°Till yesterday, even I didn¡¯t know who this Ye Xiwen actually is, but today, I finally found out about his identity! The supremeness of eighth prince is widely known among the younger generation of royal n, his followers can be seen throughout the five forces and various otherrge and small forces. He has also formed his own army by the name imperial guards, which ims to dominate the entire world! But that Ye Xiwen recently rose to fame in Yi Yuan School as an invincible genius, it is said that he has broken the records of the legendary genius, Qi Feifan, of Yi Yuan School. Just like Qi Feifan, Ye Xiwen is also considered a mythical figure, a myth in his sect!¡± ¡°But I heard that eighth prince was chasing down a devil and has gone inside the space crack. Why did he challenge Ye Xiwen right on?¡± ¡°I also just heard that the eighth prince chased down the devil all the way inside the space crack and actually discovered the remains of some treasure, he gained enormous benefit from it, and now hase back from there, as to say why he challenged Ye Xiwen right on, the reason is very simple, the eighth prince is very ambitious, he actually wants to conquer the entire world, dominate all of thendscape then bring the entire Great Yue state under the rule of the royal n. He is also known as universally invincible, wants to defeat all the rivals in the younger generation one by one, and after that, he will even challenge Qi Feifan and the older invincible masters of the older generation.¡± ¡°It is said that the eighth prince had once fought with Luo Yifan, but now, Luo Yifan is dead, and rumors are that it was actually Ye Xiwen who killed Luo Yifan which aroused the interest of eighth prince. I heard that eighth prince issued the deration of challenge right from the Asura battlefield, which arrived now.¡± ¡°Eighth prince is universally invincible, among the disciples of same age, perhaps only Jian Wuchen of Yuncheng should be able topete with him.¡± ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s ironic enough that Jian Wuchen belongs to a ve n, but even so, he was able to achieve the reputation of strongest disciple among the younger generation of Yuncheng and it¡¯s just like a p in the face of those who belong to the strongest ns of Yuncheng and possess noble blood.¡± ¡°This is just like the collision between the most noble blood and lowly cheap blood!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget, in addition to Jian Wuchen of Yuncheng, Mu Youran of Xueling sect and Yan shaoba of Tianfeng hall are also considered the top yers among the younger generation, over the past decade. The rise of a genius in the younger generation was the most crucial matter for Yi Yuan School among the five forces, although there is Qi Feifan and three other peerless masters among the older generation, but none of disciples in the younger generation were splendid enough to be added to this list. Although Luo Yifan was an outstanding master but his strength was undoubtedly still notparable to the others. Then suddenly, this Ye Xiwen came to limelight out of nowhere.¡± ¡°Eighth prince is ambitious, he wants to wipe out all of the experts of the younger generation and lead his imperial guards to sweep the entire world under the royal n¡¯s rule, I do not know how Ye Xiwen will be able to resist the moves of the eighth prince.¡± Suddenly, the news about the legendary eighth prince personally challenging Ye Xiwen spread like forest fire, and in a short time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s fame spread among the various forces. Although originally, Ye Xiwen had defeated Luo Yifan in a one on one battle, but he also set a remarkable record in Yi Yuan School by breaking the records of Qi Feifan. Not to mention, too much time had passed since then and Ye Xiwen preferred to have a rtively low-key status, so his fame was limited only in Yi Yuan School, and almost nobody in the other sects knew about his exploits in Yi Yuan School, but the open challenge of the eighth prince suddenly pushed Ye Xiwen¡¯s fame all the way to the top. Ye Xiwen¡¯s image as one of the notable figures in the younger generation began to embed in the hearts of countless people, but even so, no one was optimistic about his victory, after all, the eighth prince had been famous for almost a decade. When he began to be famous, perhaps Ye Xiwen had not even started practicing martial arts! Although regarding martial artists, the time gap of ten years was not too much. Whenpared to the time of over a hundred years, the time period of ten years didn¡¯t seem much significant, but as far as Ye Xiwen¡¯s age was concerned, thest ten years were sufficient to cause a fatal disparity of several years. Moreover, eighth prince had deeply infiltrated everyone¡¯s heart, even if he and Ye Xiwen were of same age, no one would really be optimistic about Ye Xiwen, let alone knowing that Ye Xiwen was several years younger than him. Although they could be counted as peers, but the age gap was significant to cause a disparity in their strengths. In fact, none of the various forces were optimistic about Ye Xiwen, which also made some people of Yi Yuan School secretly angry. Originally, Ye Xiwen was not pleasing to the eyes of everyone, there were many people who did not like the way Ye Xiwen gained sudden fame, but this was a matter rted to the honor of Yi Yuan School, and just because of that, many of them were standing on the side of Ye Xiwen and speaking in his favor. Even if sects could inherit resources generations after generations, they always tend to keep an eye constantly on the performance of the younger generation, especially in the case of Yi Yuan School, which held the heritage of so many years and also had a lot of talented disciples, but even so, unlike other sects where outstanding talents took birth in the younger generation in the past decade, Yi Yuan School seemed to have only one hope, Luo Yifan, in their younger generation who could hold a chance of contending with the eighth prince. Although Luo Yifan was regarded as splendid in Yi Yuan School¡¯s younger generation, but whenpared to strongest disciples of younger generation in other sects, the discerning eyes could easily see the disparity. But they were not optimistic about Ye Xiwen even if he had defeated Luo Yifan because they assumed that perhaps, Ye Xiwen was only slightly stronger than him and was definitely not the opponent of the eighth prince. However, the open challenge from the eighth prince to have a duel with Ye Xiwen still made them feel iparably aggrieved, because the eighth prince, Jian Wuchen, Mu Youran and other top figures in the younger generation of the major forces were considered at the helm of the younger generation of their respective sects, and the major sects, intentionally or unintentionally, never allowed them to have direct confrontation. Everyone felt that these top figures would eventually step into the legendary realm in the future and might go even farther, and perhaps then, they might collide in the future to determine the winner, but fighting now was somewhat early. However, the eighth prince causally announced the challenge and brought this to light that he would beat Ye Xiwen, which clearly exined that he looked down on Ye Xiwen, and radically speaking, the eighth prince did not consider Ye Xiwen as his equal. In his eyes, Ye Xiwen simply did not qualify to be his match, but Ye Xiwen was already considered the strongest in this younger generation of Yi Yuan School after he defeated Luo Yifan. Now that he disregarded Ye Xiwen and basically looked down on him, he also looked down on the entire Yi Yuan School, so even if they were not optimistic about Ye Xiwen, but overwhelming majorities were still in his favor. ¡°Eighth prince is not that great, if Ye Xiwen had practiced for few more years, he could easily beat the eighth prince.¡± ¡°Yes, if eighth prince thinks he is strong, he should fight with our Brother Qi, after all just like he is older than Ye Xiwen, Brother Qi is older than him.¡± There were some people who turned to Qi Feifan. ¡°Brother Qi, stop their duel, it is so unfair for Brother Ye Xiwen.¡± ¡°Yes, if given few more years to a talent like Brother Ye Xiwen, he should be able topete with this opponent!¡± Ye Xiwen might not be pleasing to their eyes but this matter was directly linked with the honor of Yi Yuan School, hence it was closely linked with them as well, and they were well aware that its oue would not be a good one. But Qi Feifan had not made an appearance, because at this time, he was discussing the matter about Bai Mojiao with the leaders of other forces. However from the beginning since this matter came to light, many of the inner disciples, core disciples and even some true disciples could not sit still. The deterrence of eighth prince was not just for the disciples of younger generation, it was like a thorn in the back even for the true disciples of the older generation, it was just like disregarding the opinion of Yi Yuan School altogether, which immediately made them angry. Eighth prince had always been rejecting the challenges from the younger generation of Yi Yuan School and once fought with Luo Yifan and almost missed frompletely crippling him. If he had seeded in crippling Luo Yifan, he would havepletely cut off the one and only hope of Yi Yuan School, since Luo Yifan was considered the strongest in the younger generation. But now, Luo Yifan was dead and Ye Xiwen suddenly gained fame, so eighth prince decided to personally beat him and announce the beginning of his domination. Now, on Qianji Ind, only Qi Feifan was capable of stopping their duel. However, the very first sentence that came out of Qi Feifan¡¯s mouth was: ¡°This generation¡¯s conquest will advance!¡± Obviously, Qi Feifan did not want to prevent the duel, moreover it was apparent from his words that he seemed optimistic about Ye Xiwen, which shocked many people. Regarding Qi Feifan¡¯s vision and decision, no one would suspect because his very existence itself was like a legend and mythical, if his rise to fame had been somewhatte, then perhaps, he would belong to the generation of the eighth prince, Jian Wuchen and the others. In that case, he would be the only genius in his generation, like the one and only sun in the sky, filled with radiance, and all others would be overshadowed by his existence. This was the reason why even the other three top four true disciples of Yi Yuan School were scared of him, not to mention the eighth prince and the other strongest disciples of younger generation. However, in his generation, no one was able to reach his brilliance for decades, he was recognized as the first master of his generation, no one couldpete with him, soter he was ced in the older generation and was allowed to join the ranks of top four true disciples of Yi Yuan School. His words suddenly shocked everyone, as if they heard something wrong when Qi Feifan said in favor of Ye Xiwen, but eighth prince was already at the fourth stage of truth realm and there were rumors that he recently obtained some treasures and other great benefits and would soon step into the fifth stage of truth realm. Rumors were that he obtained some ancient relics and treasure which were enough to help him overwhelm all his peers and rivals. Why Ye Xiwen? What made Qi Feifan say in favor of Ye Xiwen¡¯s victory, did he actually think that Ye Xiwen could turn out to be a rival of the eighth prince? Chapter 174 – Simply worthless Chapter 174 ¨C Simply worthless This time, the leaders of all segments of social strata among the younger generation of the five forces had gathered in Qianji Ind. The news about the eighth prince openly challenging Ye Xiwen for a duel quickly set off the spections of a lot of people. Even the only spection of the disciples of Yi Yuan School was that Ye Xiwen would be able to block a few moves of the eighth prince at the best, no one really thought that he would be able to contend with the eighth prince! Defeat the eighth prince? The very concept of defeat simply never existed in their thoughts! For a time, no one paid attention to the forting meeting of the five forces, everyone was discussing this matter about the duel between the eighth prince and Ye Xiwen. After all, eighth prince was considered as the strongest existence among the younger generation of all the forces so no matter what he did, it always ended up bing the object of attention for countless people. He rushed to his current illustrious prestige in a short time of ten years and was now at the helm of the younger generation, he almost did not have a rival, he was ambitious and wantedpete for the throne of Great Yue state and be the next emperor. For that, he needed to sweep away all the other major forces and establish a more centralized influence of royal n in the Great Yue state. Regarding this matter, he never tried to conceal it, and in fact, even his slogan clearly showed that he was ambitious to win over the entire state. He formed a party of eight and all of these eight outstanding masters were known as imperial guards. He simply regarded himself as the next emperor of Great Yue state and his imperial guards were just like the personal guards of the emperor. He dared to call his subordinates as imperial guards and their motto was to conquer the world and bring it under the royal n¡¯s rule, no one knew the real reason behind it, but his group had already been recognized by the Great Yue state¡¯s emperor. Ye Xiwen did not know whether tough or cry when he listened to the people¡¯s discussion outside, what was wrong with these people, when he said that he would ept the challenge, it was as if it was already decided and no one was going to ask his opinion or decision! It seemed as if he did not have the right to say anything and would have toply with themand of the eighth prince. Without even asking him, it seemed like his duel with the eighth prince had already been scheduled, what was going on, there really didn¡¯t seem any respect for his opinion! No one seemed to really care about his opinion. Everyone was fully convinced that since eighth prince challenged Ye Xiwen then he would certainly have to ept the challenge, this strange logic simply left Ye Xiwen in a situation where he didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. In fact, a lot of people thought that since the eighth prince had already announced his challenge, even if Ye Xiwen was not his match, whatever might be the oue of this duel, being the most outstanding disciple in the younger generation of Yi Yuan School, he should not be able to decline this challenge! Thereupon, everyone was considering this thing as a matter of fact! Ye Xiwen was sincerely mad at this, he was being regarded as an insignificant existence, as if he really didn¡¯t have the fundamental right to make his own decisions and no one seemed to care about what he was thinking. Just because the eighth prince openly challenged him, he had no choice but toply and engage in a duel with him? At noon, the sunlight was shining on the earth, distorting the atmosphere, things looked blurred from afar. The battle deration was handed down right in front of Ye Xiwen. ¡°Eighth prince has sent us to ry this battle deration to you, three monthster, he would personally visit Yi Yuan School to have a duel with you, be prepared by that time!¡± Out of the three people who came with the battle deration, the ck-robed youth looked at Ye Xiwen and said. Eighth prince was not an ordinary overbearing and rampant guy, this battle deration was to y with the minds of the disciples of Yi Yuan School. At least, his motive was to make sure there were no rival disciples in his generation, and new rivals were to appear, he would destroy them before be threats to his ultimate n. It was a well known matter but the ce of their duel was actually going to be Yi Yuan School, which was just a way to mock someone on their face! It was a tant way to mock someone! Later, Ye Xiwen came to know that these three people were actually not the disciples of the royal n. They were actually the outstanding figures of other major forces. The name of this ck-robed youth was Jiaoxu Feng, an outstanding disciple of Tianfeng hall. Long ago, he became renowned as a strong true disciple and was quite formidable. This time, he was representing Tianfeng hall and was going topete in thepetition of true disciples. Another handsome man around the age of 25 or 26 years was standing behind him. He was d in an orange robe and was called Liu Hao, one of the talented disciples of Yuncheng. He was also very formidable and was going to represent Yuncheng in thepetition of true disciples. And thest one was a woman, d in white clothes, looked very pretty, and her name was Jin Ling¡¯er. She was actually a disciple of Yi Yuan School and was widely known among the disciples of Yi Yuan School. There were many disciples who admired her very much, in fact it could be said that she had innumerable admirers in Yi Yuan School, but no one expected her to be a member of Imperial guards. Jiaoxu Feng spoke but from the look in his eyes, he did not seem to be paying attention to Ye Xiwen at all, as if he was here just to issue the deration of duel and Ye Xiwen would certainly ept it. ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± Ye Xiwen sudden smiled and said. ¡°What, you ......¡± Jiaoxu Feng suddenly said, it seemed as if he never expected to get such a reply from Ye Xiwen. He never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually say that he did not have the slightest interest in it. Beforeing to meet Ye Xiwen, he had imagined various scenarios but he never expected Ye Xiwen to directly reject the eighth prince¡¯s deration. He expected that either Ye Xiwen would be angry or terrified after receiving the deration of duel, but he definitely did not expected to get such an unexpected answer from Ye Xiwen and that too in an indifferent manner. Immediately, the disciples in the surroundings gathered up to see what was going on, and when they heard Ye Xiwen¡¯s reply, dumbfounded looks appeared on their faces, a sudden uproar urred in the crowd. They could clearly see that this Ye Xiwen was no less rampant than the eighth prince. Everyone was aware of the arrogance and domineering attitude of the eighth prince. If he said he wanted to fight with someone, that person would have no other choice but to obedientlyply. His arrogance could be seen in the very fact that he openly challenged Ye Xiwen even if he knew that Ye Xiwen was not his match, without caring about Ye Xiwen¡¯s opinion. In fact, if there was someone more powerful than Ye Xiwen in the younger generation of Yi Yuan School, then perhaps, he would not even look at Ye Xiwen. This was the kind of arrogance he had, which was enough to make him dominate the entire world! However, this seemingly casual remark of Ye Xiwen showed that he was no interested, implying that he was much more aggressive than the eighth prince. Ye Xiwen¡¯s words implied as if who was this eighth prince, he never heard of some eighth prince, why should he care about this deration of duel. There could be no better valid and powerfuleback than this. Ye Xiwen finished saying then turned around to walk away. But, suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him: ¡°Stop!¡± Liu Hao arrived in front of Ye Xiwen and said: ¡°And you still call yourself a man, you are actually trying to run away, do you want to be aughing stock in front of everyone?¡± Ye Xiwen disdainfully smiled because he knew that today, if he turned around to leave then it was not going to be him who would be theughing stock but the eighth prince! People were toozy to understand what was hidden in the words of Liu Hao! It could be said that these were coarse words and Liu Hao seemed to be speaking for Ye Xiwen, but in actuality, he was speaking for the eighth prince. ¡°Somehow, it is none of your business.¡± Ye Xiwen squeezed out these words from the gap between his teeth and it sounded unusually disdaining. ¡°What did you say, a coward like you, who wants to run away from a fight, actually dares to be so arrogant? I see, so you must be afraid of his Highness!¡± Liu Hao said. ¡°Yes, Ye Xiwen, you want to flee without a fight then do so, but it will hurt the reputation of our Yi Yuan School, and after this, how you think will others see the disciples of our Yi Yuan School!¡± At this time, the female disciple named Jin Ling¡¯er suddenly said. ¡°Hmph! What utter nonsense.¡± Ye Xiwen coldly smiled and said, ¡°You seem so concerned about how others will see our Yi Yuan School, but don¡¯t worry, the disciples of Yi Yuan School are proper and prideful, they don¡¯t need to go to someone else and work like their dog. But sometimes I think, if our Yi Yuan School had such a disciple, I wonder how other people will see our Yi Yuan School.¡± ¡°You ......¡± The face of Jin Ling¡¯er suddenly flushed with anger, she gritted her teeth and her eyes looked straight at Ye Xiwen as if she would tear him to shreds with her vision itself. She had never hated a man so much in her life because Ye Xiwen actually likened her with a dog. She never felt that there was something wrong following a strong person, after all strength was the ultimatew in this world, not to mention the eighth prince was considered a peerless master and she held supreme honor as his follower, but all of this was torn to pieces by the few words of Ye Xiwen. The looks in the eyes of several disciples standing in the surroundings suddenly changed, because they had never thought about it in such a way, but after listening to what Ye Xiwen said just now, it seemed correct, what Imperial guards, weren¡¯t they working like dogs for someone else? Still the most loyal dogs! This also made her simultaneously feel ashamed and resentful towards Ye Xiwen, it seemed as if they wanted to kill Ye Xiwen then and there to vent their hatred. ¡°Ye Xiwen, if you are scared, kneel down and kowtow then I will ask our eighth prince to let you off!¡± Jin Ling¡¯er said viciously. She wanted that Ye Xiwen must kneel down and kowtow in order to crush his invincible heart, and only then she would be able to calm her anger down a little. ¡°What an idiot!¡± Ye Xiwen coldly smiled then turned around to walk away. ¡°What eighth prince, I have never heard of him, if he wants to fight with me, it¡¯s very simple, tell him toe in person and challenge me, if he likes to put on airs then he should stop thinking that these things would have any effect on me.¡± The whole crowd was in uproar after hearing this, after all the words of Ye Xiwen were a direct hit on the eighth prince¡¯s face, and saying ¡®what eighth prince¡¯ in front of so many people was like a directly insult to the eighth prince. Thispletely angered the three members of the Imperial guards. ¡°I know that he is afraid, our eighth prince is the strongest character in the younger generation and he is just an ant-like ordinary guy in front of him. Now, he has certainly gained a clear understanding of his own pathetic existence.¡± Liu Hao said in a harsh tone. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you are really very scared aren¡¯t you?¡± Jiaoxu Feng looked at Ye Xiwen and said. ¡°Your foolish attempt to instigate me into action won¡¯t work.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°Do not think that I am like you people. Perhaps for you all, this eighth prince is everything, a god like existence or something, but as far as I am concerned, he is simply worthless.¡± Chapter 175 – He is also a ruthless man Chapter 175 ¨C He is also a ruthless man ¡°Your foolish attempt to instigate me into action won¡¯t work.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. ¡°Do not think that I am like you people. Perhaps for you all, this eighth prince is everything, a god like existence or something, but as far as I am concerned, he is simply worthless.¡± The crowd was in uproar, this was probably the first time someone dared to say something like this which implied that the eighth prince could simply not be considered as someone if any important personage. This showed that Ye Xiwen was not just ordinarily rampant as they thought. Although they were full aware of the domineering and arrogant attitude of the eighth prince, but they just did not expect that the seemingly calm rampancy of Ye Xiwen would actually be far more intense than that of the eighth prince. However, in such a short time, Ye Xiwen was able to emerge as a peerless genius from Yi Yuan School so if his disposition was modest and polite then that would feel quite strange too! But they actually did not know that Ye Xiwen was not always rampant, he was rampant in front of his rampant enemies! ¡°I knew that he will try to run away, even the gods flinch in the presence of his highness and the devils hide away.¡± Liu Hao said and it seemed as if he was determined to keep instigating Ye Xiwen. ¡°It really is ridiculous, even the gods flinch in his presence, does he try to regard himself as the king of gods?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, of course, devils existed in this world so it was not surprising to say that gods also existed in this world. Just listening to the things told by Ye Mo, he came to know that there were god-like existences in this world and they were capable of destroying the heaven itself, but it was quite hrious to say that gods would flinch in the presence of the eighth prince. ¡°No one can refuse the decree of his highness!¡± Jiaoxu Feng shouted in a cold voice and threw an envelope toward Ye Xiwen. In the midair, the envelope started to burn and revealed a domineering and overbearing string of pearl-like characters. Although it was just one word, but it seemed as if it would the burn the eyes of the people whoid their eyes on it. Those who saw it only thought that they must kneel down in front of his dominating power and be his subjects, they must obey hismand, this was the aura of a king! But unfortunately, Ye Xiwen was also an overbearing expert and was no inferior to any tyrant king. He himself possessed the terrifying aura of a tyrant warrior, was about to get involved, but suddenly, the characters written inside envelop quickly moved and folded up to transform into a mountain peak and instantly pressed towards Ye Xiwen. This mountain peak pressing down towards Ye Xiwen actually possessed a mighty imposing aura. Ye Xiwen immediately sensed that thew of the earth was in effect, it was as if a mountain was dropping from the heaven and it must crush Ye Xiwen. This was to test Ye Xiwen and prove that he was not eligible to ept the challenge and there was actually a surging Zhen Yuan hidden inside it. It was really quite rampant and despotic! However, although it was merely only condensed Zhen Yuan, but was simply relentless and it possessed strength almostparable to the third stage of the truth realm and instantly smashed down. Full moon beheader! Ye Xiwen did not dare to be negligent, although he couldpete with masters at the third stage of truth realm, but while facing this move, he would still need to concentrate with rapt attention. ¡°Boom!¡± The delight fiercely chopped down towards that word mountain peak, the two attacks deadlocked for a long time, but the delight finally overpowered the coercion of that word mountain and directly chopped it down into pieces, dispersing golden light everywhere in the sky. Ye Xiwen did not have the frivolity, rather the strength of the eighth prince was quite spectacr, and he noticed some words written on that word mountain ¡®strongest of the younger generation¡¯ and these were not empty words. This eighth prince was very strong! ¡°Oh it¡¯s not good, I never imagined that the eighth prince would actually be so strong, even the battle deration was so outrageously strong, I guess even the masters at the third stage of truth realm will find it difficult to deal with this kind of strength.¡± A Yi Yuan School¡¯s disciple said in a somewhat worried voice. At this time, except for a few people, most of the disciples of Yi Yuan School were still biased in favor of one of their own, Ye Xiwen. After all, this matter was rted to Yi Yuan School¡¯s glory. ¡°Luckily, Ye Xiwen is not some ordinary guy, that de attack was amazing, I heard that he has recently turned twenty years old and has already stepped into the truth realm, considering this level of talent, he is not inferior to the eighth prince. If he is given few years, he should be able to contend with the eighth prince.¡± Another disciple said. ¡°If Ye Xiwen¡¯s fame rises, the younger generation of our Yi Yuan School will not lose to the other sects, however, I am afraid that the eighth prince will not give him the time to grow, isn¡¯t this the style of the eighth prince to suppress all enemies before they grow stronger?¡± ¡°Yes, if it is that Jian Wuchen fighting with Ye Xiwen, then it may seem fair but why is the eighth prince so fixated on him. The eighth prince¡¯s ambitions have no limits, he wants the entire Great Yue state to fall under the rule of the royal n, he doesn¡¯t even want to amodate a force like Yi Yuan School and wants to suppress all his future obstacles, including those who are yet to grow up!¡± Many of the disciples of Yi Yuan School were worried, though they clearly recognized the strength of the eighth prince, but regarding his character, it was not easy to say. ¡°With such a mediocre strength, you actually dare to be so rampant!¡± Liu Hao sneered and immediately taunted after he saw Ye Xiwen having some difficulty while dealing with the eighth prince¡¯s gift. Naturally, he was very proud of himself because ording to him, the members of the Imperial guards were far superior to other truth level masters, their leader was the strongest in the younger generation, in fact, most people were not even qualified to be the Imperial guards. It was not easy to be the Imperial guards! ¡°Enough with your nonsense!¡± Ye Xiwen was quite unhappy, this eighth prince was not an ordinary rampant guy. Considering the way he used the open battle deration in front of everyone, now it did not matter whether Ye Xiwen wanted to fight or not, he must ept it. Ye Xiwen was sure that the opposite party would certainly direct it towards Yi Yuan School¡¯s reputation regardless of whether he wouldply or not. Ye Xiwen was not just representing himself, but he was also representing the entire Yi Yuan School in this matter. It was time for Ye Xiwen to make the decision whether he should ept it or not, it he didn¡¯t then everyone would say that Ye Xiwen was afraid and backed out. This was tantamount to force him to ept this battle deration, which made Ye Xiwen him extremely unhappy. ¡°You are courting death, why his highness should dirty his hands and deal with you when I can personally repress you!¡± Liu Hao was thoroughly mad at the attitude of Ye Xiwen. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to ept his highness¡¯s battle deration!¡± When Ye Xiwen heard him, without wasting any time, he instantly took a step, and suddenly, a burst of Zhen Yuan, like the raging wild sea waves, instantly swept toward Liu Hao. Ye Xiwen released a surge of Zhen Yuan which was so huge that it was easilyparable with the masters at the third stage of truth realm, while Liu Hao was merely a master at the second stage of truth realm. At this time, Liu Hao and the others finally understood that although Ye Xiwen seemingly was at the first stage of truth realm, but looking at his terrifying Zhen Yuan which could easily submerge them like a raging ocean, it was easy to guess that his strength was much more than what it appeared to be. This could not be the strength of a man, he was simply a humanoid demon beast. The endless amount of Zhen Yuan, just like a mighty hammer, instantly and fiercely sted on Liu Hao¡¯s body. ¡°Poof!¡± Liu Hao screamed pitifully and his entire body was sent flying into the sky. The crowd of onlookers suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and held their breaths. Just now they witnessed the stunning strength of the eighth prince from just the battle deration envelope and it was actually able to have such strength. But now, they found out that Ye Xiwen must not be underestimated and his actually strength was much more than they anticipated. As a master at the first stage of truth realm, he was able to actually release such mighty waves of Zhen Yuan, which sent a second stage truth level master like Liu Hao flying into the sky! At this time, the disciples of Yi Yuan School were having a kind of mixed feelings in their hearts. They were happy from the performance of Ye Xiwen, it was really too aggressive and was nothing like a master at the first stage of truth realm. He actually managed to suppress a genius like Liu Hao, who was at the second stage of truth realm, and actually sent him flying in one shot. This fighting strength was simply ferocious, as if he was a humanoid demon beast there simply was noparison between Ye Xiwen and Luo Yifan. Because Luo Yifan was merely at the first stage of truth realm and Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength wasparable with the masters at the third stage of truth realm, no wonder there were rumors that Ye Xiwen had defeated Luo Yifan in one on one battle. In fact, there were even rumors that Luo Yifan¡¯s death was also rted to Ye Xiwen. Rumors said that after receiving the message, Ye Xiwen went after Luo Yifan to kill him. Even after investigating, both Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng hall were unable to get any evidence against Ye Xiwen, but this rumor had been spreading since then. Many people were saying that it was actually Ye Xiwen who killed Luo Yifan. Contradiction between Luo Yifan and Ye Xiwen was already an open secret and everyone knew about it. Luo Yifan tried several times to intercept Ye Xiwen, sometimes personally or by sending people after him. The news about these things had already spread throughout Yi Yuan School, there was no room for either party to back out from the fact that both parties wanted to kill each other. In order to stamp out the root of future trouble, it was very natural for Ye Xiwen to kill Luo Yifan, things like this happened all this time. Although no one had the direct evidence to prove that Ye Xiwen killed Luo Yifan, but they were greatly suspicious of him, therefore reportedly, it was said that Luo n was furious and were nning to kill Ye Xiwen, but the top level officials of the sect disagreed since Ye Xiwen was just a suspect and there was no exact evidence to prove that he killed Luo Yifan. Not to mention, along with Luo Yifan, there were two other truth level masters, and therefore, a lot of people concluded that it was impossible for Ye Xiwen to simultaneously deal with three masters of the truth realm, considering that one of them was at the second stage of truth realm. However, after Ye Xiwen exposed his true strength just now, everybody was shaken because his real strength was simply unfathomable and was much more terrifying and profound than anticipated. With this much strength, it should be easily to kill Luo Yifan and the other truth level masters. But some time had passed since the incident, so the strength alone could not be solid evidence. After all, how could ordinary mortals possibly find the traces of clues when the evidence and traces of clues were personally erased by Ye Mo, an ancient monster that had lived for innumerable years! The thing to worry was that now when Ye Xiwen exhibited such a high talent, the eighth prince would certainly not give up because in order to dominate the entire Great Yue state, the rise of a talent like Ye Xiwen would be a huge threat to his future ns and must be eradicated as soon as possible. And this was going to be an honest excuse to get rid of Ye Xiwen, so he naturally would not miss it. Chapter 176 – Imperial guards are mediocre Chapter 176 Imperial guards are mediocre The disciples of Yi Yuan School were having mixed feelings and were happy and worried at the same time. There were excited looks on their faces while they were guessing that perhaps, Ye Xiwen might block several moves. Moreover, the majority of people guessed that Ye Xiwen would be able to block only ten or so moves. In fact, there were a lot of people who thought that he won¡¯t be able to block even a single move. In that case, it was too boring because Ye Xiwen would be no different than several other outstanding geniuses, already trampled and crushed by the eighth prince. And then, there sincerely was no meaning to all of this anyway. However at this time, Ye Xiwen actually showed the strength far more than they imagined, they discovered how ruthless he actually was, moreover, not just ruthlessness, they also saw the terrifying strength of Ye Xiwen with their own eyes. It could be said that perhaps, even the strength possessed by the masters at the third stage of truth realm would be far less than his strength. And after three months, no one knew to what extent his strength might grow and this was definitely a very interesting thing, which would definitely lead to an unusual but interesting battle, and should not be boring at that time. ¡°You, you dared to injure Liu Hao, do you n to defy the imperial guards?¡± Jin Ling¡¯er looked incredibly at Ye Xiwen, ¡°Do you actually think that the members of Imperial guards are a waste like Luo Yifan?¡± ¡°If not for his highness¡¯s wish to personally deal with you, any one of us Imperial guards can easily trample him!¡± Jin Ling¡¯er looked coldly at Ye Xiwen. ¡°You have put your family in trouble, they will die without the burial ground!¡± ¡°Well, well, well, now you have done it, Imperial guards!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered, ¡°You are nothing but a bunch of eighth prince¡¯s dogs and you actually dare to threaten me!¡± The Imperial guards didn¡¯t know that they just now invoked the wrath of the emperor! The talk about Ye Xiwen¡¯s family being in danger was more than enough to invite the wrath of the emperor! Seeing a ruthless look shing in Ye Xiwen¡¯s eyes, Jiaoxu Feng quickly understood that something bad was about to happen, he was not like Jin Ling¡¯er, who had always admired the eighth prince and any act of ndering the reputation of the eighth prince was enough to enrage her. Ye Xiwen disrespected the eighth prince several times and right in front of her which thoroughly made her lose her mind. But Jiaoxu Feng did not lose his temper because he knew that Ye Xiwen was very powerful, although Liu Hao was quite reckless, but the members of the Imperial guards were not ordinary masters, they were overall geniuses including strength and skills, but Liu Hao was directly sent flying by a single attack from Ye Xiwen, what kind of fighting strength did this Ye Xiwen actually possess? This scene had shocked all the people present there because it was simply beyond the imagination of anyone. ¡°Ye Xiwen, we¡¯vee instead of his highness to deliver the deration of duel, we don¡¯t mean any harm!¡± Jiaoxu Feng stepped forward and immediately said. ¡°No harm? No harm you say, good one!¡± Ye Xiwenughed and said, ¡°First you threaten my family and now you even dare shouting in front of me!¡± ¡°Since you want me to receive this deration of duel no matter what, then I will, but in the meantime, I¡¯d like to test the strength of the so-called Imperial guards of the eighth prince and see how much formidable they actually are!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and used the Coiling dragon palm, which he had already practiced to the acme level. His palm turned into a dragon w, glowing with a terrifying dragon qi and instantly moved towards them. Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack was extremely powerful whenpared to before, he had already practiced the first two moves of ¡°Coiling dragon palm¡± to the acme level, and all of a sudden, he demonstrate the full might of this technique. In an instant, the dragon qi overflowed the surrounding area and it seemed as if a dragon had descended from the heaven to rule the world. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Jiaoxu Feng. Although, Jiaoxu Feng was not willing to fight with Ye Xiwen at this time, but when he saw this attacking towards him, he was left with no choice and he immediately shot his palm, however his palm technique was extremely abstruse and both of their attack instantly collided. Although he was at the second stage of truth realm, but both his skill and strength were far inferior to those of Ye Xiwen, plus when it came to the palm techniques used by them, Jiaoxu Feng¡¯s palm technique was nowhere close to the Coiling dragon palm technique, and only in the moment, it seemed like Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack contained an irresistible force that instantly crushed his attack and fiercely sted on his body. ¡°Bang!¡± Jiaoxu Feng¡¯s whole body was sted away and several of his bones were broken. He spouted a mouthful of blood and almost lost consciousness after falling and severely hitting the ground. Even so, the disciples of Tianfeng Hall who were standing in the surrounding didn¡¯t react or intercept when Ye Xiwen suddenly attacked Jiaoxu Feng, a disciple of Tianfeng Hall. Moreover, this was not a fight between Yi Yuan School and Tianfeng Hall, but Ye Xiwen and the eighth prince¡¯s Imperial guards, in fact, even a disciple of Yi Yuan School, Jin Ling¡¯er was also a part of the Imperial guards. Besides that, the disciples of Tianfeng Hall did not hold goodwill for Jiaoxu Feng, because even if he was a disciple of Tianfeng Hall, he was still a member of Imperial guards and being a member of Imperial guard was no different than betraying one¡¯s own sect. After all, the eighth prince¡¯s ambition was to rule the entire Great Yue state andrge martial sects like Yi Yuan School, Tianfeng Hall, etc., were going to be obstacles in the way of his ambition. And these members of Imperial guards, without exception, were being manipted by the eighth prince, they were under his mind control and were willing acting as hisckeys and were just like his dogs, so how could they possibly have any favorable impression in the minds of everyone. Ye Xiwen¡¯s ck hair was swaying with the wing, his facial expression looked extremely cold, and surrounded by the dragon congealed from the Coiling dragon palm technique, he was just like the emperor who hade into this world, and suddenly, for a time, Jin Ling¡¯er was left in a somewhat absent-minded state while she was standing gawking in front of this invincible being. This was the kind of invincible aura she had felt only on the body of the eighth prince, however this time, she felt the same kind of terror while standing in front of a much younger man. ¡°Impossible, in this world, there can only be one king, one god, and that is going to our eighth prince, you are nothing in front of him!¡± As if the feeling of belief in her heart for the eighth prince had been provoked by Ye Xiwen, Jin Ling¡¯er instantly started to shout like a tigress, she roared loudly, and the long sword in her hand instantly chopped out. ¡°Flying beauty!¡± Jin Ling¡¯er pulled out her long sword and released a bright Swordlight. She flew in the air and was just like a flying beautiful woman, she appeared very beautiful and graceful, but the long sword in her hands looked extremely cold like ice. Ye Xiwen knew that this was one of the secret techniques called ¡®beautifuldy sword technique¡¯ and only the true disciples of high-level sects could practice and obtainplete teachings about this technique. One could see that this beautifuldy sword technique had been practiced to a superb level. This beautiful woman was fragrant but was deadly poisonous as well. Her ice cold sharp sword instantly rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have the slightest fear while facing her, his palm turned into dragon ws and grasped towards the iing attack. In the next moment, that beautiful and ice cold Swordlight was directly caught by Ye Xiwen and then crushed to smithereens. ¡°How is this possible, how can your body be so powerful?¡± It was simply very hard for Jin Ling¡¯er to ept such an oue, it was simply unimaginable. How could Ye Xiwen be so powerful to actually hold her sword attack with his bare hands and then he directly crushed it, such ability was really very scary. But she didn¡¯t have to wait long because Ye Xiwen immediately decided to give her the answer by returning the favor with interest. He used celestial step and instantly arrived in front of her, a huge coiling dragon instantly congealed out of nowhere and pped her. ¡°Bang!¡± Jin Ling¡¯er could not hide from it even if she wanted to, she did not have the slightest chance to evade this attack because Ye Xiwen had simultaneously used the missing moon beheader along with the coiling dragon palm technique in order to block her retreat, and she eventually had to endure Ye Xiwen¡¯s p in the face. ¡°Poof!¡± Jin Ling¡¯er spouted out mouthful of blood and her frail body was instantly blown away after receiving a p on the face. This p was so intense that her body was sent flying into the sky while spinning all the way then fiercely fell on the ground. Ye Xiwen was not the type who would show mercy to a confused chaotic woman like Jin Ling¡¯er, but it could be said that he was slightly considerate about the fact that she belonged to the same sect as him, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t possibly let her off with just a p on the face. ¡°How dare you hurt us, his highness will not let you off!¡± Jin Ling¡¯er did not faint and looked at Ye Xiwen with a pernicious expression on her face. ¡°Cut the crap, if you bother me anymore, I¡¯ll kill you all.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a cold voice, and while saying so, his whole body was shrouded in an intention to kill. No one present there would take his words as a joke, because everyone could feel that Ye Xiwen was not in a good mood, and considering the current situation, he might do such a thing as he was certainly not a softhearted person. Jin Ling¡¯er and the other members of Imperial guards looked at Ye Xiwen with clear hatred in their eyes but they didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore. They knew well that even a slight slip of tongue could lead to instant death. Ye Xiwen turned around and indifferently said: ¡°Eighth prince is relying on his Imperial guards to go on military conquest of the world, but it in itself seems quite mediocre.¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen, don¡¯t be so full of yourself, we are ordinary members of the Imperial guards and today, you have disrespected the eighth prince¡¯s own Imperial guards. Sooner orter, there will be high-level experts on their way to find you and you may not even live till the time his highness meets you.¡± Jiaoxu Feng said in a struggling voice. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who it is, if someone wants to step on my head, they better stay away because even if it¡¯s a god, I¡¯ll kill him, even if it¡¯s a devil, I¡¯ll kill him!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s voice thundered and resounded throughout the sky, his voice proliferates everywhere like an undeniable meaning. Even after looking at the somewhat slim stature of Ye Xiwen, people still could not help but believe in Ye Xiwen¡¯s promation. They just knew in their hearts that he was not boasting for show, that there were no lies in his words. The disciples watching this whole thing from the beginning never actually expected that things would evolve so quickly and take such a turn in the end. The eighth prince sent his Imperial guards to ry the deration of duel to Ye Xiwen, which clearly showed his domineering and aggressive demeanor. But the things developed far more quickly than they imagined and they actually discovered how stubborn and iparably insolent Ye Xiwen actually could be in a situation like this. And they knew quite well that facing such a form of injustice where his own views were being ignored outright by the opposite party, his approach was quite right, and in the end, he didn¡¯t tolerate bullying and humiliation. These three members of Imperial guards behaved arrogantly and held a superior attitude while notifying Ye Xiwen about the deration of duel, which really angered Ye Xiwen. They kind of forced him into teaching them a lesson about who was actually the superior one. Many people were excited at these turn of events. Ye Xiwen¡¯s actions were tantamount tond a bitter p on the face of eighth prince. Now that Ye Xiwen had flung a severe p right on the face of the Imperial guards, they won¡¯t let go so easily, they would certainly send the high-level truth realm masters after Ye Xiwen. But Ye Xiwen was also like a bottomless pit, there didn¡¯t seem to be any limits on his strength. At least right now, no one couldpel him to disy his full strength, but there was one thing for sure that the collision between the two sides would certainly be earth-shattering. Chapter 177 – Aftermath and pressure Chapter 177 Aftermath and pressure The matter about eighth prince¡¯s deration of duel to Ye Xiwen and subsequent wounding of the members of Imperial guards at the hands of Ye Xiwen quickly spread everywhere. It seemed as if a forest fire had spread all of a sudden, and almost instantly, it became a hot topic of discussion for many people. ¡°That Ye Xiwen is also quite rampant and domineering, gee, you didn¡¯t hear what he proimed in front of everyone. He said, it doesn¡¯t matter who it is, if someone wants to step on my head, they better stay away because even if it¡¯s a god, I¡¯ll kill him, even if it¡¯s a devil, I¡¯ll kill him! And right then, on the spot, everyone¡¯splexion changed after hearing his words!¡± ¡°Only a great man can say such words so confidently, he actually said that he would kill even the gods or devils if they try toe in his way? Damn, what a pity I was not present on the scene to witness it myself.¡± ¡°The members of Imperial guards are very arrogant and despotic, and relying on their direct rtion with the eighth princes, they have offended many people, but this time, they did a big mistake by offending Ye Xiwen, because he isn¡¯t the type of guy who would sit back and take it silently. These members of Imperial guards tried to pressure him and force their decision onto him, and this is no different than courting death.¡± ¡°In the future, I am afraid that this is going to take an unpredictable turn. Although the eighth prince has obtained some treasures from the devil ruins, but even if we exclude him, the Imperial guards still has a very terrifying master, and if he ns toe into action, then I do not know what will happen to Ye Xiwen, because he is much more formidablepared to Ye Xiwen.¡± ¡°And even more frightening is that eighth prince, no one knows how much treasures he has obtained in the ruins, not to mention his inheritance as a prince. It is very hard to predict the new level of his terrifying strength, which must have gone against the heaven¡¯s will by now.¡± ¡°At this rate, perhaps in the future, he might really seed in achieving his goal of dominating the entire Great Yue state.¡± Everyone was talking about this matter, but Ye Xiwen was actually at his residence, and in his hands, there were some documents containing information about the members of Imperial guards. While going through the documents, he suddenly found some shocking information. He discovered that all of the members of the Imperial guards were the followers of the eighth prince and almost all of them were truth level masters. Some of them were at the third and fourth stage of truth realm, and there was even a terrifying master at the fifth stage of truth realm. However, even a master of the fifth stage of truth realm had surrendered to the eighth prince and was actually themander of the Imperial guards. So manyrge and small truth level masters were loyal and devoted to the eighth prince. These documents were quite secretive and were sent by someone rted to Qi Feifan. On the orders of Qi Feifan, the sender of these documents must have researched and collected data about the eighth prince and his Imperial guards. These documents also contained few words from Qi Feifan, addressed to Ye Xiwen, stating, crush that eighth prince! Ye Xiwen gave a somewhat forced smile. It seemed that Qi Feifan had shown quite a confidence in Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength and thought that he was capable enough to crush the eighth prince. Qi Feifan could not take an action himself, because if he did then it would mean that Yi Yuan School thoroughly recognized this generation¡¯s conquest and was willing to participate in it. The rtionship among the five forces was currently very stable, although they still despised each other, but there had been a mutual stability among them for quite a while. Every now and then, they were also fastidious about a lot of rules, for example, seniority was one of them. Since Qi Feifan could not take an action in this matter because of his seniority, so all hope was pinned on Ye Xiwen. However, there was no assurance that Ye Xiwen would be able to handle this matter, after all, the masters of the Imperial guards were really too many for him to handle on his own. If you can, Ye Xiwen did not want to stir up any trouble, but it was obvious that even if he wanted to, he would not be able to escape from this. The other party was not at all willing to let him off, and even if they decide to let him off, they would do it only on the condition when Ye Xiwen would kneel down on the ground and beg for forgiveness. And he would rather die than to do such a thing. Regardless of who it was, if they wanted to step on his head, they better stay away otherwise whether it was a god or a devil, he would kill them all! Since it had alreadye to this, now, nothing could stop him from going all out! ¡°Ye Xiwen, the situation doesn¡¯t look good.¡± Ye Mo frowned and said after reading the information about the eighth prince and Imperial guards. There was a serious look on his face, although in his eyes, considering the time when he used to be at his peak, these people were nothing but a bunch of ants, but as far as Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength was concerned, they indeed were powerful and fearful enemies. ¡°I guess you are right, even if I use the Poisonous dragon water control g, the most I can do is beat the masters at the third stage of truth realm, but I think the next time, the two deputymanders of the Imperial guards will most likely make an appearance.¡± Ye Xiwen thought and said. The Imperial guards had three fearful masters, one of them was themander of Imperial guards and the other two were the deputymanders. Even the members of Imperial guards based in the capital city would not be able to easily defeat these three masters and even if one of the two deputymanders attacked Ye Xiwen, it would still be a huge threat to him. Although the two deputymanders were weaker than themander of Imperial guards, who was actually a master at the fifth stage of truth realm, but they were actually at the peak of the fourth stage of truth realm and it would be very hard for Ye Xiwen at his current strength to defeat these two terrifying opponents. ¡°But the good news is that now I have some time to enhance my strength, the members of Imperial guards won¡¯te immediately.¡± Ye Xiwen said, he knew that he would not be able to escape from this battle. The members of Imperial guards regarded the eighth prince as their god, and whether it was for their own dignity or for the dignity of the eighth prince, how could they possibly let him off? For the glory of Imperial guards and the ambitions of the eighth prince, they would never let him live. And if they could not find him then they would most likely go after his family. And most importantly, Ye Xiwen did not want to concede. This was supposed to be a collision between two strong beliefs, a confrontation of martial arts, a fight between two martial arts beliefs and he could not possibly back down. His practice was overbearing, he was supposed to be an overbearing warrior, and when a warrior like him was attacked then he would retaliate andpletely destroy all of his enemies. But the practice of the eighth prince should also be overbearing, so the battle between the two must be stunning and this was only a matter of time. But the good news was that he still had time to improve himself, because he had just been informed that he could not participate in the uingpetition and the reason was very simple. After this incident, the other four forces strongly protested, they were never informed about the fact that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was already at the level of true disciples, though officially, he was still an inner disciple and was enrolled to participate in thepetition among the inner disciples of the five forces. If a truth level master like Ye Xiwen was allowed to participate in apetition for inner disciples, it would be like an outright massacre of the other inner disciples, which was very unfair. Although, merely more than a year had passed since Ye Xiwen joined the Main Sect, but within this short period of time, the qualifications of the other new disciples was nowhere close to the current qualifications of Ye Xiwen. Now, the news had already spread everywhere that he was already in the truth realm and even the masters at the second stage of truth realm were actually sent flying by his attacks, his strength was simply unfathomable. If he was allowed to participate in thepetition of inner disciples, which was actually a mutual show of strength, a way to establish mutual deterrence, then the deterrence effect brought upon by Ye Xiwen would clearly be overkill. The four forces did not want Ye Xiwen to participate in thepetition, so there was no way left for Yi Yuan School but to agree, after all, no one expected that Ye Xiwen would be intrepid to such an extent he had yet to officially be a true disciple. And so, there was no way to just ignore the true disciple test and make him a true disciple in order to make him participate in thepetition of true disciples, because the other forces won¡¯t ept it. Therefore in the end, it was decided that Ye Xiwen won¡¯t participate in thepetition. Ye Xiwen was also quite happy about this oue and was happily walking around to have a look and observe thepetition of inner, core and true disciples of the major forces. These people were actually the highest level masters, representing the top talents of the Great Yue state, especially among the younger generation. However, everyone witnessed the formidable strength of Ye Xiwen and members of Imperial guards would certainly not go easy on him the next time they woulde to confront him, which also meant that he must quickly prepare for his next confrontation with them. At his current strength, Ye Xiwen was able to deal with Jiaoxu Feng and the other seemingly ordinary members of Imperial guards and he certainly didn¡¯t face any problem, but there were several other stronger truth level masters in the ranks of Imperial guards. All of this once was once againpelling Ye Xiwen to think of ways to enhance his strength. Although recently stepped into the truth realm, but if it was needed to once again have a breakthrough, it should not pose any problem for him because his umtion was quite deeper when he was still in the Xiantian realm. It could be said that this umtion was deeper to such a terrifying extent that it might even be a hundred times deeper than required for a Xiantian level master. This was the reason why he was able to set foot into the first stage of truth realm and immediately made another breakthrough to reach the peak of the first stage of truth realm. And now, he could have a breakthrough to the second stage of truth realm, all thanks to his prior umtion in the Xiantian realm. So as long as there was an opportunity, he could break into the second stage of truth realm, and at that time, unless he was not attacked by themander of Imperial guards, he should be able topete with the two deputymanders and might even defeat them. For most people, if breakthrough was rapid then they would face a situation of unstable inner state, because for truth level masters, theprehension of worldws was especially important. For a truth level master, the degree of perception of worldws directly determined his strength. However, a lot of time was required to actually strengthen the gained insight about worldws, and therefore, after stepping into the truth realm, experts often stayed on one stage for a long time to gainpleteprehension. But Ye Xiwen was not the same as others, he had the help of mysterious space and as long as there were sufficient spirit stones, the mysterious space could help him to quickly deduce the secrets of worldws and principles so that he could quickly understand and grasp them. Others might take several years toprehend and gain insight but in Ye Xiwen¡¯s case, so long as he had enough spirit stones, he could amass the same amount of insight within the time period of few days. And after robbing so many pirates, Ye Xiwen did notck spirit stones. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (NT: 6 regr chapters are still pending. A request to the donors and sponsors, I will start doing sponsored chapters once I am done with these regr chapters. :D) Chapter 178 – Great Immortal battlefield Chapter 178 Great Immortal battlefield In the depths of East China Sea, in a huge battlefield, a person¡¯s figure was rapidly flying over. Ye Xiwen turned over the map, there was one of the ancient battlefields of East China Sea, and in ordance with thebeling on the map, it should be somewhere around here. This area was almost 10,000 Li away from the coastline of East China Sea, and taking such arge distance into ount, this area could be considered as the depths of East China Sea. At this time, there were two devil wings pping behind Ye Xiwen. He actually gave birth to two devil wings, which could be used simply to attain improved speed and better maneuvering at extremely high speeds. Right now, Ye Xiwen was flying so fast that he was able to cover a distance of 10,000 Li in a flight of just three hours. This belonged to a new school of magical powers that Ye Xiwen learnt from Ye Mo, it was called devil wings. Just from listening to the name, one could know that it was one of the magical powers of the devils. Moreover, it was also one of the top magical powers, and Ye Xiwen¡¯s skill was still not enough to wield it properly. If he had enough skill, he could have covered the distance of 10,000 Li in an instant. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t learn this technique earlier because at that time, only his strength wasparable to the masters of truth realm, but after all, he still hadn¡¯t stepped into the truth realm, so there was no way the Zhen Yuan in his body was qualitatively and quantitatively enough to sustain the consumption of energy while using the devil wings. Therefore earlier, Ye Mo did not teach it to Ye Xiwen. Now that he had devil wings, he could return to Qianji Ind anytime whenever he felt like and that too very quickly, no matter where he was. After all, Bai Mojiao could begin the attack anytime. While using this type of top ss magical power of the devil race, energy consumption was veryrge. Even at Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength and skill, in order to cover the distance of 10,000 Li, the devil wings actually consumed at least seventy percent of his energy, and in order to continue using it, Ye Xiwen had to consume spirit stones to sustain such a massive rate of energy consumption. At this time, Ye Xiwen had covered up his face and had transformed his appearance into that of a handsome and iparably elegant young man, d in white robe. Right now, from his transformed appearance, he appeared very handsome and suave. He was a human and there was a battlefield of a race of sea based demon beasts, less than few thousand Li away from there. A super big faction was located there and it was called Great Ind of the Immortals. In the East China Sea, it was considered a very big force. Its strength was tyrannical, hardly inferior to a major force like Yi Yuan School. This Great Immortal battlefield was a huge battlefield where the sea-demon beasts of Great Ind of the Immortals used to battle perennially, hence give it this name. No one knew how many martial artists and sea-demon beast had fallen in this battlefield. And not just masters of Great Ind of the Immortals, even many experts from several other sects woulde here to gain experience, in order to participate in most intense fights to hone their strengths. After arriving at the Great Immortal battlefield, Ye Xiwen immediately retracted his devil wings since disying devil powers at this time was not suitable. Although in this world, practicing devil ways of martial arts was not a taboo, but practicing devil race¡¯s martial arts techniques was considered a taboo by most people, because by practicing devil race¡¯s martial arts technique, a human being could be depraved and eventually lose his humanity. However, just practicing devil ways didn¡¯t have any effect on a human being. In short, practice devil race¡¯s martial arts techniques would change the physiological characteristics of the human being, turning them into devils, whether they were willing or not, and as long as someone embarked on this road, they was no turning back. But there was no such problem in case of Ye Xiwen, because Ye Mo had taught him the most pure form of devil power techniques. Techniques taught by Ye Mo were not the kind of halfplete devil power techniques which were initially introduced by devil race in the human world. During devil race¡¯s invasion, in order to split up human beings, devil race had used some human beings as cannon fodders and had handed down some of their devil power techniques. But these techniques were iplete and devil race had deliberate introduced these techniques in order to turn human beings into devils. However, the techniques that Ye Mo taught him were the most pure devil power techniques and simply didn¡¯t have any ws. Moreover, Ye Mo had also directly learnt there techniques from the Great Devil King himself. ording to Ye Mo, his previous owner was already at such a high realm that he could instantly create power techniques ording to his needs and requirements by using the worldws and principles which he couldprehend with ease. The techniques created by him no longer rigidly adhered to a certain race, because Great Devil King was already at such a level that he had transcended the limits of races. So Ye Xiwen did not need to worry, but he still did not want others to find out about his devil powers, otherwise, it would not cause small trouble. Unless and until his own strength was so strong that he didn¡¯t need to care about others at all, he would not openly disy his devil powers unless absolutely necessary. There were simply innumerable sea-demon beasts in the Great Immortal battlefield and most of them looked formidable. It was needless to say that Ye Xiwen couldn¡¯t take on too many of these beasts at once and neither did he know how many of these beasts he might have to kill in order to hone his skills. At a distant ce, he could see several huge sized demon beasts. The strong demon beasts were devouring the weaker ones. It was a battlefield indeed! Ye Xiwen directly dived into the water and rushed towards the crowd of demon beasts, who were still fighting with each other. Ye Xiwen was a truth-level super master, he contained strong blood and vitality in his body, which was simply hundreds or even thousand times more than that of a Xiantian realm master. Ye Xiwen¡¯s sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of numerous demon beasts, they rushed towards him, some of which were simply tyrannical and fearful demon beasts, and so many of them were rushing towards him at once. The first group of demon beasts to attack him was a group of silver sharks. Each of these silver sharks was simply like reinforced steel frame swimming towards him at a very high speed. These silver sharks possessed great strength and a very sturdy body, they could easily kill a Xiantian level master in one blow. These silver sharks were actually at the Xiantian ninth stage and even the strongest of them were at half-step into the truth realm, and these demon beasts were present everywhere in this battlefield. Although this Great Immortal battlefield had quite a reputation, but it was certainly not the most intense battlefield, nor was it thergest one. But, it could be seen in the entire Zhen Wu Jie that humans and demon beasts would frequently battle with each other, these battles continued fromnd to the sky, extending from sea to thend, they were fighting everywhere for their own survival and multiplication of their respective races. However these silver sharks had steel sharp teeth, and if bitten, even the truth level experts wouldn¡¯te out unscathed. Moreover these silver sharks were at Xiantian realm and they were using water-based techniques to shoot overwhelming amount of water swords toward Ye Xiwen, who had alreadye out of the sea water and was flying in the sky. Ifnd was the territory of humans then sea was the territory of demon beasts and was simply like a forbidden for humans. Ye Xiwen finally had some understanding of this fact. These demon beasts would attack a human being on the very first sight. ¡°Missing moon beheader!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and immediately chopped out his long de, instantly releasing a burst of de shadows in the sky which immediately formed a rain of de shadows and rained directly on the silver sharks in the sea water. Dozens of silver sharks were chopped to pieces and were instantly beheaded by Ye Xiwen. However, the smell of blood attracted more and more demon beasts towards the ce where so many of silver sharks had just been beheaded by Ye Xiwen. If Ye Xiwen was merely a passerby, then looking at so many demon beasts rushing towards him, he would surely have spread his devil wings and immediately escaped. Just the scene of several demon beasts swimming towards someone was enough to send chills down the spine. The number density of demon beasts in this region was simply unimaginable for an average human being. Even if Ye Xiwen was flying in the air, he must be careful all the time in order to not get shot by water swords because if he was to get shot and fell in the water then he would surely be attacked by an unimaginable number of demon beasts. Ye Xiwen waved his long de and a protectiveyer of delightpletely wrapped him, which was enough to protect him from the attack of Xiantian level demon beasts, and with each and every de attack, he was able to kill a troop of demon beasts. The flesh, blood and essence of these Xiantian level demon beasts were instantly absorbed by Tianyuan mirror leaving nothing behind, and their neidans were absorbed by Ye Xiwen, but at Ye Xiwen¡¯s current level, this was simply like a drop in the bucket. Ye Xiwen was now a truth level master, so the neidans of these Xiantian level demon beasts were nothing more than a drop in the bucket. Killing these Xiantian level demon beasts simply couldn¡¯t bepared with killing a truth level demon beasts. There was a difference of heaven and earth between truth level and Xiantian level demon beasts. But Ye Xiwen was not worried, striking bit by bit, and with ease, he was able to kill these demon beasts, although many of these demon beasts could terrify an average person, but it was impossible for these demon beasts to put even a scratch on Ye Xiwen. His real opponents would be those truth-level demon beasts. Truth level demon beasts were considered elites among the demon beasts and possessed terrifying strength. While killing these demon beasts, Ye Xiwen almost did not have to use his Zhen Yuan, he ughtered them by relying on his skills and therefore consumed a meager amount of Zhen Yuan. He was simply practicing his skills and techniques on these demon beasts and getting used to his newly acquired strength. Soon, the true test arrived for Ye Xiwen. A group of shadows could be seen in the watering towards Ye Xiwen from a long distance. These shadows were walking upright and immediately attracted the attention of Ye Xiwen. He took a closer look and saw that this was actually a group of water apes, their whole bodies were covered with blue fur, blue fangs were protruding out, not to mention, each and every one of them looked exceptionally ferocious. These water apes were considered the tyrants of the nearby areas. The demon beast residents of these waters were usually torn apart by the water apes. They were radically a kind of amphibious animals, considering they could survive onnd and could also survive in deep water. Basically, water apes belonged to a very special branch of ape ss demon beasts. The most notable thing about them was the fact thatpared to their rtives who lived onnd, water apes would several times more brutal and instinctively gitious. The most fearful thing about these water apes was that each and every one of them was in the truth realm, while their leader, water ape king, was at the third stage of truth realm. This water ape family was just like a gang of neighborhood bullies. They not only relied on their fearful strength of truth realm, but also stayed in arge group, hence acting as a powerful deterrent in their locality. ¡°Children, go kill this damn human warrior, he has a very exuberant vitality and seems quite delicious. After killing him, everybody will receive a bite from his body!¡± Water ape king looked at Ye Xiwen and there was a vicious killing intention in his eyes. Suddenly, the water apes were excited and bellowed. Chapter 179 – Truth second stage Chapter 179 Truth second stage These water apes held high intelligence, especially the water ape king. His intelligence level was almostparable to a human being¡¯s intelligence. These water apes surrounded Ye Xiwen in a circle and used waterw based magical powers and coordinated their fist attacks at him. Ye Xiwen snorted coldly, how he could possibly stay idle and watch while these water apes were actually nning to eat his raw flesh and blood, they really were courting death. Ye Xiwen ruthlessly waved the long bade in his hand without a shred of mercy in his eyes. ¡°Puchi!¡± A water ape was directly split in half by Ye Xiwen and its blood and essence was quickly absorbed by Tianyuan mirror, while its neidan was immediately refined by Tianyuan mirror. The refined energy was absorbed by Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt a torrent of energy emerging in his body, a rxing feeling spread throughout his body. Only demon beasts of truth level could actually benefit him and his cultivation, and inparison, Xiantian level demon beasts could only be better than nothing. Although these water apes were mostly at the first stage of truth realm, some of them were at the second stage of truth realm, but none of them were the opponent of Ye Xiwen. He was basically disying his iparably tyrannical strength and ughtering them like it was a child¡¯s y. When water ape king saw how Ye Xiwen was effortlessly ughtering his subordinates, he suddenly got angry, gave out a loud roar and rushed towards Ye Xiwen to kill him. It was said that water apes inherited terrifying and ancient boxing skills in their blood and once they were angry to the point of their blood boiling with anger, they could instantly disy those skills. Water ape king¡¯s fist sted and brought up an endless tsunami, rushing toward Ye Xiwen to engulf him. Ye Xiwen shot his palm, hidden dragon rises from the abyss, a huge amount of Zhen Yuan was instantly released out towards the rushing tsunami, and right when Ye Xiwen was about to bepletely submerged under the water, his palm attack made an intersection. The enormous strength present in the collision made the sea water to seethe with excitement and the entire sea level went hollow and sunk down, forming a huge trough, the surrounding sea water did not have the means to approach Ye Xiwen, because it was beingpletely cut off on the outside by the Zhen Yuan. Under the water, many Xiantian level sea beasts had been stunned by this fearful collision and passed out on the sea floor. Ye Xiwen withdrew several steps. This water ape king was really extremely terrifying. Ye Xiwen was now strong enough to contend with the ordinary masters at the third stage of truth realm, but this water ape king was clearly a strong master at the third stage of truth realm and was very strong. Ye Xiwen instantly opened his devil wings and a surge of horrifying devil aura instantly burst out in the surroundings. ¡°What, you are not a human but a devil?¡± The water ape king was suddenly rmed and a shocked look appeared on his face, after all, there was a huge difference between a human and a devil. Those of devil race were instinctively cruel and aggressive. Human race simply couldn¡¯t bepared to the devil race. Ye Xiwen sneered and fiercely jumped forward, his figure instantly disappeared and left afterimages, while the very next instant, he appeared in front of water ape king. A color of surprise shed in the eyes of water ape king, because at an rming rate and in just a blink of an eye, Ye Xiwen had arrived in front of him. Although the speed of water ape king was not slow, but when Ye Xiwen used his devil wings then his speed increased dramatically, at this moment, Ye Xiwen¡¯s speed was far more superior to that of water ape king, in spite of his realm being far above that of Ye Xiwen. When water ape king realized that Ye Xiwen¡¯s speed was superior to his, his only left was to spread his hands and deploy a set of extremely esoteric boxing moves in order to shield himself. ¡°Poisonous Dragon water control g array!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and instantlyunched ¡®Eighteen surfaced poisonous dragon water control g array¡¯ which then immediately flew in the air, forming a huge array of gs and huge deepwater ck serpents suddenly congealed out of nowhere. These serpents were emitting toxic breaths which rapidly filled the entire g array with toxin. When the water apes encountered such huge deepwater ck serpents, it was just like a group of foot soldiers bumping into a group of knights, needless to say their fate was sealed. Most of the water apes were sent flying by one tail sweep by the serpents, and those, who even once came in contact with the toxin, perished immediately. The might of ¡®Eighteen surfaced poisonous dragon water control array¡¯ was simply earth-shattering, within a moment, the nearby areas up to a distance of almost 100 Li were contaminated by the deepwater ck serpent and turned toxic, and the sea beasts present in the vicinity were immediately killed by the deadly toxin. These water apes simply weren¡¯t the opponents of these deepwater ck serpents. Before they could even react, they had already fallen prey to the toxin, and not long after, only water ape king was able to survive this. Water ape king suddenly got furious because he never thought that he wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with a petty human being. Rather in this situation, Ye Xiwen was simply like a super big iron wall, no matter how much he tried to kick, the iron wall simply wouldn¡¯t budge. However at this time, there was no way out for the water ape king because Ye Xiwen¡¯s ¡®Eighteen surfaced poisonous dragon water control g array¡¯ had firmly trapped him inside. Although Ye Xiwen could onlypete with the weaker master of the Truth third stage, but with the assistance from the g, he could easily kill the strong experts of Truth third stage. Poisonous Dragon water control g array was tightening and rushing towards water ape king from all sides. By that time, Ye Xiwen also went inside the g array and rushed towards the water ape king. This g array was made up by 18 deepwater ck serpents and its overall could bepared with a deepwater ck serpent of Truth third stage. And right now, all of these serpents, together, were closing in on him, so there simply was no way for him to contend. Moreover, the water ape king also had to contend with Ye Xiwen. Soon, the water ape king was beheaded by Ye Xiwen. He seized the neidan from water ape king¡¯s body and digested it. Even after that, Ye Xiwen¡¯s preying spree didn¡¯t stop in this part of the sea, not because he didn¡¯t want to stop, but truly couldn¡¯t stop. The reason because there was a steady stream of undersea demon beasts constantlying after smelling blood, spilled in this part of the sea. So, there was basically endless number of demon beasts rushing towards this area and he had no choice but to keep on killing them. It was because of this almost endless number of undersea demon beasts that this ce had ultimately turned into a super battlefield for humans and demon beasts, famous throughout the East China Sea. During these three days among, Ye Xiwen continued crazy killings, to the point of turning the whole water bloody red in that area of the sea, which attracted the attention of numerous foraging demon beasts. More demon beasts meant more crazy killing, which resulted in the massacre of demon beasts, almost day and night, at the hands of Ye Xiwen, most of which were at Xiantian level, however there were many at the truth level as well. Generally speaking, after the massacre of more than a certain number of lives and absorbing their neidans, Ye Xiwen¡¯s breath had reached a terrifying level. Although most demon beasts would sense the breath of their prey and decide whether to attack or not, and at this time, Ye Xiwen¡¯s breath was strong enough to act as a danger rm, warning others to not get close to him, but since he had practiced ¡®restraining breath technique¡¯ to the acme level, he was able to conceal his real breath, so the ignorant demon beasts still continued to move closer towards him. And within three days, after the crazy killings of so many demon beasts and absorbing their neidans, the amount of Zhen Yuan, contained in his body, had already reached a majestic level. Ye Xiwen felt that he would step into the Truth second stage at any time, and so long as he was able to reach the Truth second stage, he would be able to contend with masters of Truth fourth stage. And with the assistance of g array and Tianyuan mirror, he would easily fight off the master at the peak of Truth fourth stage. After the endless killings of demon beasts for all these days, their blood, flesh and essence were absorbed by both Poisonous Dragon water control g and Tianyuan mirror. After three days of crazy absorption of blood and essence from the dead demon beasts, the ¡®Eighteen surfaced poisonous dragon water control g¡¯ had a rapid development, 17 of them evolved to reach the point of Truth third stage and the one, acting as the core of g array, evolved to the extent of reaching the Truth fourth stage, thereby dramatically increasing the total might. Tianyuan mirror waspletely restored to the Truth fourth stage and hence had a power surge. Although it was only a short period of three days but his strength really progressed by leaps and bounds. And now, finally, it was time for Ye Xiwen to act. Now that he had umted a huge amount of majestic Zhen Yuan in his body, it had already begun to stir inside his body. Ye Xiwen even had a kind of uncontroble impulse, making him aware of the fact that it was time to breakthrough and if he did not have a breakthrough now then the Zhen Yuan would continue to stir up and might go out of control and end up exploding his body. Ye Xiwen opens his devil wings and made his way through the crowd of demon beasts while beheading those in his way then flew out of the water, high into the sky. At this time, the demon beasts, still in the sea, used water based attacks at him but he used devil wings to block the attacks. The devil wings were mighty and enormous, giving full protection to Ye Xiwen, while he was flying towards the clouds. After diving into the cloud, he decided to camouge his own breath, and at the same moment, Tianyuan mirror flew appeared on top of his head, andpletely camouged his breath. Ye Xiwen began to have a breakthrough, also starting the unceasing cirction of Zhen Yuan in his body, running over and over in his meridians, while releasing the aura bit by bit. Ye Xiwen¡¯s energy umtion had already reached the profound, to the point of being impossible even for a master of the Truth second stage. Even a master of the Truth third stage wouldn¡¯t dream of umting so much amount of energy in his body, only Ye Xiwen was capable of achieving such a feat. The reason was that Ye Xiwen had practiced ¡°Tyrant body technique¡± so his body could amodate such a terrifying amount of energy umtion, but right now, even he reached the limit, and if not had a breakthrough sooner, then his body would explode. Did not know for how long, Ye Xiwen¡¯s aura continued to grow to the limit then broke free from the shackles and suddenly burst out, it was mighty and enormous, to the point that even Tianyuan mirror could no longer contain his aura inside. Ye Xiwen opened his eyes, finally, he broke through to the Truth second stage, and now, the strength of the two deputymanders of Imperial guards was no longer a match of his strength. However Ye Xiwen actually knew that this was not enough, far from enough. Although now he was far stronger the two deputymanders of Imperial guards, but one must not forget that the eighth prince was said to be at the peak of Truth fourth stage and he was so strong that a master of the Truth fifth stage was his subordinate, so his strength could be imagined. Chapter 180 – Devil commander’s tomb Chapter 180 Devilmander¡¯s tomb Although Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t want to spare even a single nce to the eighth prince, but the very existence of the eighth prince was inflicting pressure on him. Other might not say but Ye Xiwen hade to understand the mindset of this arrogant prince. ording to the hearsay, earlier, the eighth prince had been able to ovee the super master of Truth fifth stage, but no one knew the current extent of his cultivation and strength. Not to mention, rumors said that he got his hands on the ancient heritage of arge faction, so considering all these points, his strength would have definitely progressed by leaps and bounds. And since such a person was hostile towards Ye Xiwen, so he was in lot of pressure, but these pressures were actually working towards transforming the strength of Ye Xiwen, making his strong, much stronger than ever before, and if things continued like this then his strength would go beyond the strengths of eighth prince, then Qi Feifan and so on. Ye Xiwen possessed a strong heart, which was the basic reason how he was able to deal with any formidable enemy. None of the enemies were able to make him submit, on the contrary, they only forced Ye Xiwen to be much more powerful, and every time, Ye Xiwen diligently put all his efforts in bing stronger. Ye Xiwen made a breakthrough and became stronger, but there was no way he would go back now, he seemed all prepared to begin the ughter once again, but suddenly, he discovered many more warriors in the surrounding waters, moreover these were very powerful warriors, and almost each one of them was a master at Truth third stage or above. Ye Xiwen felt somewhat strange, what was going on here, what was the reason behind the concentration of so many powerful warriors in this area. One must know, although it used to be one of the ancient battlefields, but normally, not many warriors woulde here because several years had passed and not many people wanted toe here daily. Generally, in a day, one could expect to find only a handful of people in this ce. But right now, Ye Xiwen suddenly saw the emergence of dozens of experts, and almost all of them were the terrifying masters of Truth third stage or above. It was quite unusual to witness the arrival of so many truth level strong experts at once in this battlefield. In the end, what could be the reason behind this! While Ye Xiwen was still thinking about investigating this, suddenly a loud shout came from a distant ce. He was surprised to find out that the voice belonged to a purple-robed female, who was currently fighting with a great shark in the water. Ye Xiwen noticed that she appeared to be 20 years old, had a curved small eyebrow, beautiful snow white skin, she looked very beautiful and also seemed to be skilled in swordsmanship. Each of her sword strike was beautiful, as if stars were falling from the sky in the form of dazzling Swordlight. One could see that she possessed profound sword skills and was also a master of Truth third stage, but right now, she was facing a giant shark, which was a demon beast at the peak of Truth third stage. Its strength should be much stronger than that of the purple-robed woman. Although she possessed exquisite and outstanding sword skills but it was obviously not enough to save her in such a perilous situation. After struggling for a long time, she finally fell under the wind, and appeared to be in a very danger situation. At this time, many warriors looked at this scene but didn¡¯t step forward to lend a helping hand. It was not like they were sinister people, many of them were not necessarily bad, but there was always a lot of struggle for power going on in the sects and among the sects as well, which would generally morph their mindsets into that of selfish people who only cared of their own safety. Right now, they knew that if they went to save the purple-robed girl then they might possibly suffer the same fate as her, so they were hesitant toe forward. However, unlike them, Ye Xiwen did not give much thought to this, and the moment he saw that the purple-robed girl was in danger, he directly flew towards her and simultaneously chopped out his long de, releasing out a splendid delight towards that giant shark. The delight instantly arrived in front of it, and the next instant, the giant shark was chopped into two halves. ¡°Elder brother, this girl is called Qianqian, many thanks to elder brother for saving my life. May I get the honor of knowing elder brother¡¯s good name?¡± That purple-robed girl, Qianqian said in a very polite manner. ¡°Ye Xiwen.¡± Ye Xiwen replied in a simr polite manner, ¡°It was slight effort, don¡¯t think about it.¡± Ye Xiwen did not care about little things, and what he said was the truth because it really did take him slight effort to save her life. And from her appearance and gesture, she appeared like a diligent person to him. ¡°It seems Senior Ye is alone, would you dare toe to the Devilmander¡¯s tomb? Senior looks very skilled and brave for the job.¡± Qianqian¡¯s awkward and polite demeanor suddenly shone up with brilliance and splendor, and a bright look appeared in her eyes. ¡°Devilmander¡¯s tomb?¡± Ye Xiwen had some doubts since he seemed to know nothing about it. ¡°Senior Ye doesn¡¯t know?¡± Qianqian gave a somewhat puzzled look to Ye Xiwen, as if why did hee here for if he didn¡¯t know about Devilmander¡¯s tomb? ¡°Well, please tell me about it, girl.¡± Ye Xiwen said. ¡°If Senior Ye does not mind then he can call me Qianqian.¡± Qianqian said, although it was difficult to guess the age of a martial artist, but on the long road to martial arts practice, the difference of few years was nothing, the seniority only depended on strength. Just now, she was in a perilous situation while facing a giant shark, but the same giant shark could not even sustain a single de attack from Ye Xiwen and was split into two halves. This clearly proved that Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was much higher than her own strength, and this was the reason why she addressed to him as Senior Ye. ¡°Although Senior Ye doesn¡¯t know about this but I must say that it is not a secret or something, all of these people know about it.¡± Qianqian said, ¡°This ce is called Great Immortal battlefield, I presume Senior Ye knows about this, right?¡± ¡°En.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, he knew about this that¡¯s why he rushed here. ¡°This matter starts from Great immortal battlefield. The reason why Great Immortal battlefield was opened a long time ago was that human warriors and demon beasts used to frequentlypete for the control of this area, and this led to the outbreak of war and also caused a protracted war of several years, which atst led to the formation of this ancient battlefield.¡± Qianqian further exined, ¡°But there is a hidden reason about which no one actually knows. Originally, this ce is actually a burial ground of a Devilmander. In those days, the Great Ind of the Immortals and a certain demon beast country obtained news about this and severely fought in order to gainpete control of the tomb, ultimately forming this ancient battlefield, but initially, both parties had sent arge number of experts to find out a way to go inside, but they never found a way in, and this slowly led to the putting down of the exploration of this tomb. But who would have thought that the Devilmander¡¯s tomb, that has been untouched all this time, will be opened and this has immediately alerted the two top factions as well, but no one knows how this news was leaked and attracted arge number of experts.¡± In the past when devil army invaded Zhen Wu Jie, a stunning war erupted between the experts of the two worlds. Many devil experts had fallen during the war and they formed various tombs and cemeteries throughout the Zhen Wu Jie to bury those devil experts! But the discovery of each of these tombs would always lead to an exploration by countless people, because these devil experts were extremely terrifying masters when they were alive, especially a Devilmander, who was supposed to be fearful master above the legendary realm. The tomb of such a peerless expert would contain a multitude of priceless treasures, magical tools, magical weapons etc. This was just like a fatal attraction for so many warriors. Grab anything and one could obtain tremendous amount of wealth. Ye Xiwen never expected that this ancient battlefield would turn out to be formed this way, not to mention it was also a Devilmander¡¯s tomb. ¡°Ye Xiwen, this is a good opportunity for us, I never expected to hear about a Devilmander¡¯s tomb.¡± Ye Mo suddenly said, ¡°In the devil world, a Devilmander holds the rank of a feudal lord. There should be a lot of good things in his tomb. As far as other humans are concerned, I think it¡¯s impossible for them topletely utilize the treasures left behind by the Devilmander, but you are different. You can practice legitimate devil arts so you can definitely use these treasures.¡± Ye Xiwen thought, perhaps this was an opportunity, if he could get treasures in this Devilmander¡¯s tomb, then his cultivation might go a step further once again. In that case, there would be a greater certainly of his victory over the eighth prince. After all, this was the tomb of a Devilmander, whose cultivation, at the time of his death, was probably above legendary realm. It was simply impossible to imagine the extent of his strength and if Ye Xiwen managed to obtain even a small portion of his treasures, then it would certainly be a great advantage for his future practice. ¡°Senior Ye seems quite interested in Devilmander¡¯s tomb.¡± Qianqian openly said. ¡°En, I will go and have a look¡± Ye Xiwen did not hide anything and there was no need to hide as well. ¡°Such being the case, since Senior Ye is not part of a team, might as well join us.¡± Qianqian said. ¡°Have you formed a team with others?¡± Ye Xiwen asked. ¡°En.¡± Qianqian nodded, ¡°I¡¯m not so strong like Senior Ye so I cannot possibly wander alone in an ancient battlefield. This time, I have invited a few friends toe together with me. These are people who have dared to explore the Devilmander¡¯s tomb with me.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded, so that was the case, but it was not surprising that she formed a team because not everyone could be like Ye Xiwen. He was so outrageously powerful that he did not need a partner to wander around in this ancient battlefield. It could be said that Ye Xiwen was a one man army. Invite a few friends to journey together was pretty normal. Moreover, a Devilmander was supposed to be an unsurpassed existence, the so-calledmander of formidable devil troops. Even if now he was dead but no one would dare to look down on him, not to mention, nobody knew what they might find in such a peerless master¡¯s tomb. There was no such thing as free lunch under the sun, if you want to obtain something, you must pay for it! But Ye Xiwen did not care, he believed in the saying; no pain no gain, so he must face dangers in order to obtain something beneficial! Chapter 181 – Join the team Chapter 181 ¨C Join the team There was no such thing as free lunch under the sun, if you want to obtain something, you must pay for it. But Ye Xiwen did not care, he believed in the saying; no pain no gain, so he must face dangers in order to obtain something beneficial! But this time, the difficulty was not just the dangers in Devilmander¡¯s tomb, he also need to be wary of so many other warriors. This time, many warriors obtained this news, moreover all of these experts were basically at the truth level, someone of them were even at Truth seventh stage, eighth stage and ninth stage as well. As far as the eyes could see, there were countless warriors everywhere in this area. Probably, all of the top warriors in the nearby areas of East China Sea hade out to try their luck in Devilmander¡¯s tomb. ¡°Since Senior Ye has not formed a team, then might as well join our team.¡± Qianqian said. ¡°Well, deference is no substitute for obedience.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded. Since he knew very little about this Devilmander¡¯s tomb, so it was better to stick together with others. (NT: g¨­ng j¨¬ng b¨´ r¨² c¨­ng m¨¬ng: ¡®deference is no substitute for obedience¡¯ (idiom)) This was also good from the point of view of mutually taking care of each other. After Ye Xiwen agreed, Qianqian took him to an ind, which was not a big ind. It was quite spacious but there were no spiritual arteries under the ind, and therefore, there were no living things on the ind, not even a shred of vegetation was present there, otherwise, it would have been upied by demon beasts. Throughout the East China Sea, there were many inds with spiritual arteries, but there were no spiritual arteries in this big ind, the reason why no one bothered to even name it. Qianqian and her teammates were going to meet up on this ind. ording to what she told, he came to know that Qianqian was a member of loose cultivators of East China Sea. In Zhen Wu Jie, in addition to disciples belonging to major sects like Yi Yuan School, there were many loose cultivators who were often considered as loners, they coulde and go freely. Some were very weak, but some of them possessed earth-shattering cultivation level, basically it was hard to predict their strength, and they often consisted of good and bad people. However, in Zhen Wu Jie, there were several small sects, with each sect housing only few individuals. Basically, these small sects were called loose cultivation sects, and whenpared to giant sects like Yi Yuan School, which was a home to several hundred thousand disciples, these loose cultivation sects appeared just like shrimps in front of a shark. Ye Xiwen did not want to expose his identity as a disciple of Yi Yuan School, so he directly said that he was also a loose cultivator, but he had already told his real name to Qianqian. Qianqian didn¡¯t suspect him, after all, although Ye Xiwen was very strong, but if he was a disciple of a major sect, then he would have definitely arrived here with his group of friends. One must not forget that this ce was an ancient battlefield, although it was not the most active ancient battlefield, but it was still dangerous, so whening here, generally, only loose cultivators woulde here alone. (NT: Assuming, Ye Xiwen is a truth level expert, and if belongs to a major sect, then he must have his own faction and a long list of subordinates/attendants.) Although they had been ssified as loose cultivation sects, but in the end, all of them taught martial arts just like any other major sect. ¡°This ce is located on the periphery of Great immortal battlefield, and is a rtively safe ce. As we go deeper, it gets very dangerous since a lot of truth level demon beasts wander in those areas. If we go further deep inside then we will encounter even more terrifying demon beasts. As long as we are on thend, we are safe, but if go into the sea, then we will encounter overwhelming demon beasts, they are extremely frightening.¡± Qianqian said with a lingering fear on her face, ¡°Fortunately, they raree out of the water, and when they do, their strength gets weakened a lot, otherwise humans cannot even think about having a foothold in the sea.¡± The poption of human experts was nowhere close to the poption of demon beasts. It could be said that there were ten times more truth level demon beasts than truth level human beings, but fortunately, most of these truth level demon beasts lived in several established demon beast countries. Not to mention the total poption of demon beasts in this world was 100 times morepared to that of human beings, but majority of them were still in muddleheaded mental state. Basically, they were no different thanmon beasts in general, and this was maintaining the fragile bnce of power. ¡°Many masters have gone deeper into the East China Sea, but never came back. It is said that legendary level mythological beasts live there.¡± Qianqian said. ¡°Our sect had been flourishing very until the founder went into the depths of East China Sea, never to return, and finally, our sect declined to what it is right now.¡± Ye Xiwen listened and sighed with emotion, indeed, this kind of thing happened all the time in Zhen Wu Jie. A sect¡¯s prosperity would always depend on how many top yers it had. For example, in Yi Yuan School, in a sense, if the core disciples, inner disciples or outer disciples were to die then it certainly won¡¯t matter much, in fact, even if a true disciple was to die then it won¡¯t matter, as long as the sect head and other leaders were alive, everything else was unimportant for sect¡¯s survival and prosperity! (NT: Well, if a true disciple of Yi Yuan School dies then the sect will certainly wreak havoc, but the death of a true disciple certainly doesn¡¯t endanger the existence of Yi Yuan School. But, the loss of leaders or the sect head, who are all legendary level characters, will certainly affect the bnce of power among the five major forces and will definitely give a serious blow to the sect.) Yi Yuan School was such a big sect but the death of a legendary level expert was a major event for them, not to mention, Qianqian¡¯s loose cultivation sect lost a legendary level master, which was sufficient to determine the fate of her sect. The major difference between a major sect like Yi Yuan School and loose cultivation sect was the dependence of the very survival of the entire sect on death of its top yers. In case of loose cultivation sect, the death of just one important character could lead to the copse of entire sect. And this was the reason why major sects would never give recognition and acknowledgment to the loose cultivation sects. But as far as Ye Xiwen was concerned, someday, he would eventually travel to the depths of East China Sea. It would actually be a grand asion, after all, even the influence of the so-called Yi Yuan School could not stretch up to those areas, but it was something far in the future. As for now, Ye Xiwen was merely a master of the truth realm and could only wander back and forth in these marginal areas. He couldn¡¯t possibly think about going into the depths of East China Sea at his current strength. While Ye Xiwen and Qianqian were still chatting, suddenly, the air began to boil in the sky and several rainbows appeared to be flying towards them. It was obvious that they visitors weren¡¯t ordinary people. The rainbow light is enormous and powerful and it seemed as if the rivers streams were converging in the sea at very high speeds. The rainbows directly rushed down and fell on the ind¡¯s beach. As the rainbow lights began to disperse, the shadows of four people could be seen. The one standing at the front seemed to be their leader, he was d in a splendid attire, had an imposing appearance and also had a heroic bearing, which was quite unusual. There was sort of self-satisfied expression on this face, but when he saw Ye Xiwen standing behind Qianqian, hisplexion immediately changed and turned unsightly. A sharp look appeared in his eyes while he was staring at Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen could easily read the look in that guy¡¯s eyes. He was secretly aware in his heart that this guy was troubled by his presence, but he didn¡¯t say anything. One could find these pampered and favored guys everywhere, who were often ambitious, sessful and were used to governing everything around them. They also considered women as their own property and would naturally not allow others to intervene. There were three people standing behind this man, one man and two women. The man also had a heroic bearing and had an outstanding appearance, however, he could only be considered as low-key whenpared to the man standing in front of him. He was standing there with a faint smile on his face, and didn¡¯t seem like an aggressive guy. He belonged to the category of those people who were unable to look straight ahead. Besides this man, the remaining two were women, one was d in a yellow robe and the other was d in brilliant orange clothing. Both of them could be considered as reigning beauties, but were slightly inferior to Qianqian. ¡°Senior Ye, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Xu Yingdao, the most outstanding true disciple from the current generation of true disciples in the Great Ind of Immortals. I am afraid, his strength is not inferior to the strength of your maind¡¯s eighth prince.¡± Qianqian said. Earlier, Ye Xiwen had said that he was a loose cultivator from the maind and didn¡¯t belong to the side of loose cultivators of East China Sea, hence Qianqian said so. Ye Xiwen felt disdain in his heart, although that eighth prince had not yet made an appearance, but judging from the war deration, one could make out that his strength was unimaginably, even many experts of Truth fifth stage were not his opponents. No one knew the extent of the eighth prince¡¯s current strength, but Ye Xiwen had already seen through the cultivation of this man. He was only at the peak of Truth third stage, his strength was far worse than that of the eighth prince. There was simply a huge gap between the strengths of these two, in fact, his strength was not evenparable to the strengths of the higher level Imperial guards! However, it seemed like in the Great Ind of the immortals, he was treated as a highborn! Then from the introduction by Qianqian, Ye Xiwen came to know that the other guy was named Chi Fei and was also a strong truth level expert, but he didn¡¯t belong to the famous ns of the Great Ind of the Immortals, perhaps this was the reason behind low-key appearance. The yellow-robed woman was named Miao Lian and the orange-robed woman was named Fan Yun. Both of them were at the third stage of truth realm. Simrly, both Chi Fei and Xu Yingdao were at the peak of Truth third stage, and it seemed like soon, they should be able to be the masters of the Truth fourth stage. One could assume that they were considered outstanding experts in their respective sects. ¡°Qianqian, I hope it should be very clear that the ce we n to visit this time is said to be very dangerous. We may be unable to take care of ourselves, how do you n to take care of someone else as well?¡± At this time, Xu Yingdao suddenly said while looking at Ye Xiwen. The hidden meaning in his words was very clear. Considering how he was looking at Ye Xiwen, it was obvious that he was talking about Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation, which was only at the second stage of truth realm. In other words, his strength should be regarded as nothing whenpared to their strengths. ¡°Moreover, we have been running this team for many years and trust each other very much, but you go and start rashly recruiting new people into our team. What will we do if he harbors evil intentions?¡± Xu Yingdao continued to say. Ye Xiwen was looking at the side, with a hint of indifferent smile on his face but he did not say anything. On the contrary, it was Chi Fei who tried to smooth things out and said: ¡°Since Qianqian has asked this person to join our team, then she would certainly have a valid reason for that. We should first listen to what she has to say.¡± At this time, everyone¡¯s attention was on Qianqian as she said: ¡°Well, everyone, do not look be fooled by Senior Ye¡¯s cultivation level. Although he is still at the second stage of truth realm, but he is actually much stronger. Earlier, I was fighting with a giant shark and fell under the wind, but when I was about to be killed by it, Senior Ye saved me.¡± Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Xiwen with astonished expressions on their faces. (To be continued) Chapter 182 – The so-called putting to test Chapter 182 ¨C The so-called putting to test Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Xiwen with astonished expressions on their faces. They knew well that Qianqian¡¯s strength was enough to make her part of their elite team, needless to say, her strength was at the third stage of truth realm, quite tyrannical, perhaps not the strongest, but it was not weakerpared to their own. But when even a strong expert like Qianqian was unable to deal with an enemy, this man actually came to her rescue and saved her life? Not just that, ording to what Qianqian said just now, that giant shark was split in half by Ye Xiwen¡¯s long de. Perhaps this was the reason that shocked them the most. Considering Qianqian¡¯s diligent and honest character, they had no choice but to believe in what she said. And they were astonished just by thinking about it, because Ye Xiwen was merely at the second stage of truth realm, but he actually managed to disy the strength beyond the second stage of truth realm. ¡°No matter how strong he is, this matter is very important, our lives are going to be at stakes and it is very difficult to say about the ulterior motives of this man of unknown origin, he may harbor evil intentions. I won¡¯t allow him to join our team.¡± Xu Yingdao said. ¡°Such being the case, I will be on my way then.¡± Ye Xiwen wanted to join Qianqian¡¯s team in order to be familiar with some people and watch our each other¡¯s backs in the face of dangers, but if this team was so unhappy by his presence then there was no need for him to join their team. After all, just as Xu Yingdao said, the most important thing for a team was heartfelt solidarity and cooperation. If he couldn¡¯t achieve this by joining this team, then it was better for him to walk his own path. ¡°Senior Ye, I think Xu Yingdao says this because he doesn¡¯t know about Senior Ye¡¯s tyrannical strength, this was not intentional!¡± Qianqian went forward to persuade Ye Xiwen, but she didn¡¯t know that her action and gesture made Xu Yingdao feel even more wrong about Ye Xiwen. ¡°Hmph, firstly, the ulterior motives are not the only issue here, even his strength seems dubious and questionable. I think that giant shark must have exhausted most of its strength while fighting with junior sister apprentice, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of this and that¡¯s how he beheaded the giant shark.¡± Xu Yingdao said with a look of disdain in his eyes. Qianqian was somewhat anxious, she didn¡¯t know what to say, but she did know that the strength of that demon beast was far above the strength of an average human expert. When she herself was at the point of utmost exhaustion and physical exertion, her strength was almosting to an end, but at that time, the giant shark was radically just warming up. And not to forget that Ye Xiwen¡¯s de attack was truly outstanding. ¡°But, since Qianqian has said so much in your favor, then I am ready to give you a chance. If you manage to get out of the block then I¡¯ll agree to ept you in our team.¡± Xu Yingdao said in a cold voice, it was obvious that he didn¡¯t want Ye Xiwen to join their team. Xu Yingdao took one step forward and his aura firmly locked on Ye Xiwen. He then waved his hand, and suddenly, a tremendous Zhen Yuan rolled over towards Ye Xiwen. It seemed as if the Mt. Tai itself was falling towards him. Ye Xiwen was enveloped by Zhen Yuan approaching from all directions and instantly trapped him in a giant cage. This showed that Xu Yingdao had already practiced the palm method to a very profound level. ¡°So you think you can trap me?¡± Ye Xiwen sneered again and again. A moment ago, he was all ready to go, but it seemed like some people didn¡¯t want to leave. It was obvious that Xu Yingdao was nning to use opportunity to redress personal grievances, he wanted to make Ye Xiwen suffer a loss, he might even try to find a chance and destroy Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation. Ye Xiwen could clearly see the killing intention in his eyes. ¡°You think you areparable to that eighth prince, well, I¡¯d like to see for myself.¡± Ye Xiwen said then took a step, and suddenly, an unimaginable wave of vigorous Zhen Yuan burst out of his body. At this time, his entire umted energy was released at once, and a dreadful intention to kill was instantly swept off and firmly enveloped Xu Yingdao. Suddenly, Xu Yingdao felt a terrifying killing intention aimed at him, it almost washed away his state of mind. It was exceptionally fearful, he had never felt such a horrifying killing intention from a man ever before, but right now, he felt it from Ye Xiwen¡¯s body. He actually did not know that for thest three days, Ye Xiwen had been fighting and killing nonstop, he literally hadn¡¯t slept forst three days and three nights, so one could imagine how many demon beasts had been killed by him during this period. One could say that this ceaseless ughter had given birth to rivers of blood and one simply couldn¡¯t count the number of demon beasts killed by Ye Xiwen in mere three days. Not to mention, many of these demon beasts were at the third stage of truth realm, and some were even stronger than that, but he used Poisonous Dragon water control g to kill the stronger demon beasts, and at that time, he was just at the first stage of truth realm. Now, he was at the second stage of truth realm and after the breakthrough, he gained tyrannical strength. Ye Xiwen had to absorb the neidans of countless truth level demon beasts in order to break from first stage of truth ream to second stage of truth realm, so one could imagine the enormous gap between his previous strength and current strength. (NT: Ye Xiwen¡¯s inner state is at the second stage, but his strength isparable to those at fourth stage. Basically, this two stage buff is possible because of the energy he has absorbed from the neidans of so many truth level demon beasts. And thanks to ¡®Tyrant body technique¡¯, he can withstand so much excess energy he absorbed from truth level demon beasts.) After killing so many demon beasts, Ye Xiwen¡¯s killing intention could be imagined but he had to the ¡®restraining breath technique¡¯ topletely hide his killing intention and true strength because that would have scared away those demon beasts, but now, he didn¡¯t care and directly released out his true strength and killing intention. Since Xun Yingdao tried to trap in a cage, Ye Xiwen directly aimed his dreadful killing intention at him. Xu Yingdao felt as if his entire existence had been pierced. There was no need to say that the monstrous waves of Zhen Yuan, released out from Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, instantly defeated Xun Yingdao¡¯s Zhen Yuan and directly annihted his cage, then advanced forward andpletely enveloped his body. Xu Yingdao suddenly came to understand, perhaps, Qianqian was really stating the truth. This Ye Xiwen¡¯s real strength was far beyond his imagination, which shocked not just him but everyone present on the scene. This fact could shock anyone in this world! It was simply unimaginable that a master at the Truth second stage would actually turn out to possess strength more than Truth third stage. This Ye Xiwen was really a monster! Xu Yingdao was at the third stage of truth realm and had always been referred to as a genius by his peer, but there existed a title above ¡®genius¡¯ as well, it was the title of a ¡®monster¡¯! A monster was someone whose achievements, skill and strength could not be measured by the norms and established theories. In the past, he did not believe in the existence of monsters, but now, after meeting Ye Xiwen, he had no choice but to believe that monsters really existed in this world, and were fearful experts. (NT: I have reced ¡®evildoer¡¯ by ¡®monster¡¯. I will continue to use monster in future chapters.) ¡°Not good!¡± Xu Yingdao shouted and took several steps back while using an agility technique, trained to the acme level. It appeared that he only took a step, but in reality, he withdrew more than thirty feet in a blink of an eye. He was so overwhelmed by Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength and killing intention that he instinctively fled very far away. But, at this time, Xu Yingdao¡¯s entire body was covered in a protective turtle-shell, made up of Zhen Yuan. ¡°It¡¯s that turtle-shell magical technique!¡± Qianqian recognized the technique used by Xu Yingdao. Although the name of this technique sounded quite weird and tacky, but it was considered a extremely superior and secretive power technique by the people of Great Ind of the Immortals. There were rumors in the sect of Great Ind of the Immortals, they once surrendered a giant turtle beast and studied its super strong shell to obtain this turtle-shell magical technique. It had been passed down generation after generation as a secret technique, and after constant improvements, the human race could finally learn to use it. Moreover the defensive power of this turtle-shell magical technique could shock everybody, there simply was no means to eradicate this shell, and once it was disyed, it was that even masters of Truth fourth stage would find it very difficult to destroy it. Qianqian was aware of the strength of turtle-shell technique and knew that it was a very powerful defense type technique, it could easily block the attacks from super experts, so at this time, she was worried for Ye Xiwen. ¡°What turtle-shell magical technique!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and simply didn¡¯t give much importance to this turtle-shell power technique. Ye Xiwen shot his palm and the loud roar of a dragon resounded in the surroundings. His entire arm transformed into a coiling dragon, it lifted its face upwards and gave a long and loud roar. The coiling dragon instantly disappeared, and the next moment, it appeared in front of Xu Yingdao. While facing Ye Xiwen¡¯s coiling dragon palm technique, the turtle-shell magical technique simply didn¡¯t stand a chance. It was going to copse from the very first blow. Ye Xiwen¡¯s coiling dragon dropped down from the clouds. There simply was no way for an average person to resist a mighty being like this coiling dragon. One could say that it was the most powerful Yang creature in this world. (NT: Yang = Positive principle from Yin-Yang concept) ¡°What kind of martial arts is this?¡± Xu Yingdao could feel a sense of intense dread crawling under his skin and his own Zhen Yuan seemed to be going out of control. He had never felt like this in his life, this was the feeling of bowing down and worshipping in the face of such a divine and mighty being. This whole situation suddenly sent him in panic-stricken state. How was this possible! He actually did not know that his turtle-shell magical technique had been created using a giant turtle as basis and there was dragon blood present in its blood vessels, so it could be considered as a inferior dragon species with turtle-like characteristics. And when the turtle-shell technique was created, it was certainly rted in some way with the original dragon techniques, which was the reason why Xu Yingdao¡¯s Zhen Yuan went out of control while he was facing Ye Xiwen¡¯s Coiling dragon palm, which was supposedly one of the purest dragon based techniques. The turtle-shell¡¯s defensive power waspletely crushed by Ye Xiwen¡¯s coiling dragon. Xu Yingdao could not bear and immediately gave out a loud shout: ¡°Turtle trampling!¡± From the copsed shell, appeared a huge turtle leg and dropped from the sky towards Ye Xiwen to trample him. It was made up from thebination of Zhen Yuan and Lingqi, and although it was not a real turtle leg, but not far off as well. The other four had shocked looks on their faces, they could clearly see that Xu Yingdao was cornered and anxious, so he had to use such a big move in a desperate effort. In the past, he would have never used it unless it was absolutely necessary in most urgent cases, but right now, he had to use it just because he was actually cornered by Ye Xiwen. (NT: Coiling dragon has scared the crap outta him, poor guy has no other choice but to use his trump.) Besides Qianqian, others simply couldn¡¯t believe that things would actuallye to this. Xu Yingdao was naturally considered the strongest among them, and they always found him domineering and tyrannical. However, Ye Xiwen just used one move to corner that domineering and tyrannical Xu Yingdao. They always used to listen to legendary fairy tales about such experts, but today, someone from those fairy tales appeared in front of them. Qianqian already knew about this because that giant shark was at the peak of Truth third stage, and demon beasts were often stronger than humans at same cultivation level, but even so, Ye Xiwen used just one de attack to behead that giant shark. More importantly, Ye Xiwen killed it so effortlessly, as if it was child¡¯s y for him. ¡°Such level of skill and capability, such strength and fierceness, he is actually a monster!¡± Chi Fei said with a look of disbelief on his face. Ye Xiwen looked at the turtle leg falling from the sky. It must have the weight of almost ten million Jin and an average master wouldn¡¯t live after being trampled by it. ¡°What turtle leg, fuck off!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and released more terrifying and vigorous Zhen Yuan from his whole body, this scene was simply shocking. The coiling dragon instantly flew towards the turtle leg and directly grasped it in its fierce ws. (To be continued) ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C (NT: When Ye Xiwen absorbs a neidan, Tianyuan mirror first refines the crude energy and only the purest form of energy is absorbed by Ye Xiwen. So, just because he has absorbed the neidans of several truth level demon beasts doesn¡¯t mean he should have a breakthrough to next stage. He only absorbs the purest energy from the neidans, which is very less in quantity but very high in quality) Chapter 183 – breaks through the blockade Chapter 183 breaks through the blockade Ye Xiwen¡¯s entire Zhen Yuan burst out in a sh, and in that moment, it seemed like the incarnation of a coiling dragon. Its ws instantly grabbed Xu Yingdao¡¯s turtle leg, which couldn¡¯t sustain the incredible strength present in the w and exploded. At this time, Ye Xiwen seemed simply unstoppable to everyone present there. ¡°Oh my god, how can his Zhen Yuan be so profound and vigorous!¡± ¡°He is not a human, his strength is so terrifying!¡± The people present on the scene eximed, it was simply unimaginable for them to see the profoundness of Ye Xiwen¡¯s skill. The Zhen Yuan, burst out from Ye Xiwen¡¯s body, pushed them several steps back again and again. Ye Xiwen rushed towards Xu Yingdao and directly tore apart the Zhen Yuan protective cover around his body, and the very next instant, he grabbed Xu Yingdao¡¯s neck. ¡°Senior Ye, please show mercy!¡± At this time, Qianqian could not wait any longer and finally said. Ye Xiwen heard her voice and loosened his grip. He never intended to use extreme methods, was just taking advantage of this opportunity to stop Xun Yingdao. Ye Xiwen immediately retracted his dragon w, which disappeared right in front of Xu Yingdao. Ye Xiwen activated ¡®restraining breath technique¡¯ which immediately restrained his terrifying aura and crazily surging Zhen Yuan. And after that, now, to everyone, he appeared no different than any other master at the second stage of truth realm. However at this time, Chi Fei and others no longer dared to look down on him. His true strength was really too tyrannical, to such an extent that even Xu Yingdao, the strongest in their team, was not a match. In fact, even if all of them joined forces and fight him, they still didn¡¯t a chance to put even a scratch on him. Xu Yingdao was totally perplexed and didn¡¯t speak a single word, when he came to his senses, hisplexion immediately turned very unsightly. All he wanted to do was to humiliate Ye Xiwen and show off in front of everyone, but he never thought that Ye Xiwen would actually be so difficult to deal with, he was really a dreadful monster (evildoer). ¡°Do you want to continue the test?¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said but it sounded like a humiliating satire to Xu Yingdao¡¯s ears. This was equivalent to giving a direct p on his face. ¡°Dammit!¡± Xu Yingdao said in a very angry tone, ¡°You think you can insult me just because you are stronger? At the worst, we will perish together, let¡¯s fight to death!¡± ¡°Fight to death, and with someone like you?¡± Ye Xiwen said with a disdained look on his face. He immediately understood that this Xu Yingdao had some serious character defects. He was so full of himself that he ended up underestimating Ye Xiwen. At first, he tried to humiliate Ye Xiwen, but being a victim, Ye Xiwen retaliated,pletely overwhelmed him and also decided to show mercy, but rather than being sorry for his actions, he reverted with even more powerful roar. ¡°Please you two, don¡¯t quarrel, it¡¯s time to go to Devilmander¡¯s tomb, let¡¯s give mutual respect to each other and aim for sincere cooperation, quarrelling like this is not good for anyone, at least give me face and forget about this childish feud.¡± At this time, Chi Fei stepped out to smooth things out. ¡°I will give face to Brother Chi Fei.¡± Ye Xiwen lightly said. Xu Yingdao looked at Chi Fei and other team members, and judging from their facial expressions, he understood that every one of his team members was going to speak the same words as Chi Fei. He immediately snorted and turned around without saying anything. In fact, even if Qianqian and the other members of his team were in favor of his decision of fighting Ye Xiwen to death, and even if they ganged up on him, it was simply impossible for them to take him down. Ye Xiwen was an incredibly strong guy and it was not worthwhile to make enemies with such a guy. Not to mention, this time, considering the great caliber of Ye Xiwen, he could be treated as a very strong addition to their team so no one was against Qianqian¡¯s decision to let him join. It was Xu Yingdao¡¯s selfish motive to show off in front of everyone which ended up this way. Now Xu Yingdao not only resented Ye Xiwen, he also felt ufortable and envious because of the presence of Ye Xiwen in their team. After everyone was prepared to set off, they discussed for a while then flew towards the depths of Great immortal battlefield. Since all of them were truth level masters and knew excellent agility techniques, their speed was extremely fast. Ye Xiwen was flying at a moderate pace, behind of the entire team. Qianqian flew over to Ye Xiwen and said with a somewhat sorry look on her face: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior Ye, I did not expect this to happen, it¡¯s all because of my thoughtlessness.¡± ¡°Rx, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Ye Xiwen smiled and said. ¡°Ye Xiwen, this time in Devilmander¡¯s grave, I am afraid that you are going to face very troublesome situations. Moreover, this team only has masters of truth third stage and no one knows what kind of master will make an appearance on the way.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°I know, even I think that this task is going to be very dangerous, we may encounter masters of half-step legendary realm. Those invincible masters of legendary realm may also havee for the treasure, but even so, we don¡¯t have other choice.¡± Ye Xiwen said, ¡°Three months, in just three months time, we must face the eighth prince, so if my strength is not enough then I will most likely be killed by him.¡± Ye Xiwen was sure that eighth prince didn¡¯t just n to defeat him, he most likely wanted to kill Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen had gathered information about eighth prince from many sources, and judging from all that information, he hade to know that eighth prince was not a friendly guy and definitelycked empathy. He was an ambitious man and his one and only aim was to stay at the top, above everyone else. Although right now, Ye Xiwen was not his opponent but had enough potential to surpass him in the future. If the eighth prince considered Ye Xiwen as a genuine enemy then rather than waiting for month for the duel, the best way would have been to strangle the enemy in the cradle. ¡°Three monthster, whether I am willing or not, there¡¯s no way to stop the showdown between me and eighth prince.¡± Ye Xiwen said because he absolutely had no choice but to participate in the duel, it was beyond his control. The eighth prince had put him in this pressuring situation and he could escape. So by all means, he must enhance his strength in the next three months period, it was the only way out of this situation. ¡°It¡¯s the Devilmander¡¯s tomb, considering the level and status of such an incredible master, even half-step legendary and legendary level masters would drool over the treasures left behind by him, so it¡¯s natural that I¡¯m going to see.¡± Ye Xiwen firmly said. Ye Xiwen and other people soon arrived at Great immortal ancient battlefield, however, it was no longer the same as it used to be just a few days ago when Ye Xiwen was mindlessly ughtering demon beasts. Right now, the whole area had been blockaded by demon beasts. Innumerable demon beasts had formed a blockade and were blocking up the sea water. At first nce, all sorts of strange and unusually demon beasts were visible in the blockade. In addition to Ye Xiwen, Qianqian and her team, a lot of other teams were also lingering outside the blockade line and simply could break past. ¡°Lowly humans, you better quickly retreat, we have been ordered to form this blockade by our king. You humans are not allowed to go any further!¡± At this time, a huge old mossback turtle said in a loud voice. ¡°Shameless, they usually don¡¯t form blockade like this, but now that they have obtained the news about Devilmander¡¯s tomb, they actually formed this blockade, how outrageous!¡± ¡°But what should we do now, these demon beasts seem powerful, needless to say, this number is very scary ah. From this far, it is hard to guess, maybe there are 1000 or 10,000 and all of them are truth level masters. Mere the sight of so many truth level demon beasts is scary! ¡± Ye Xiwen was wondering about the reason behind this. There was an underwater kingdom of demon beasts, which was located at the boundary line of Great immortal battlefield. So the news about Devilmander¡¯s tomb not only attracted many human masters, it also rmed the Demon beast kingdom! These demon beasts from the ¡®Demon beast kingdom¡¯ looked really tough and intrepid, therefore the human forces could not go further into the East China Sea and could at most upy some nearby inds. Although there were a lot of demon beasts maintaining the blockade, but one must know that this was not theplete strength of Demon beast kingdom. ¡°These filthy animals don¡¯t stand a chance against us!¡± While everybody was still considering what to do, Xu Yingdao suddenly shouted. He was still pissed at Ye Xiwen and it seemed like he was going to vent up his anger on these demon beasts. After that, heunched an attack towards the blockade of demon beasts. He released a turtle shaped Zhen Yuan, which instantly rushed towards a demon beast of Truth first stage and exploded, and the next instant, he rushed through the opening. Ye Xiwen and the other team members did not get a chance to stop him from being reckless, they also immediately rushed inside. Suddenly, Xu Yingdao¡¯s action caused a chain reaction and several other teams began to attack the defense line of demon beasts. Many strong teams directly broke through the blockade of demon beasts, but there were several weak teams that couldn¡¯t manage to break through and were killed after getting trapped in the barrage of endless attacks from demon beasts. Ye Xiwen¡¯s team was certainly very strong, they instantly rushed past the blockade. Xu Yingdao was being tyrannical through and through, he was naturally somewhat emboldened. This was a teamprising of several Truth third stage masters and their team could be considered as a very formidable team, they directly swept inside without facing much difficulty. Ye Xiwen also following from behind, because many warriors were rushing in from all sides so he did not need to withstand all of the attacks, only a part of it, which was not a serious problem at his current strength, however Ye Xiwen still didn¡¯t have a shred of rxation. Because he tried to sense and cultivation levels of the demon beasts present in this area but he couldn¡¯t sense strong demon beasts. He couldn¡¯t find the trace of demon beasts at first stage of truth realm or above. A huge Demon beast kingdom was supposed to be located nearby, then why weren¡¯t the fifth stage demon beasts or above present in this area. The only exnation for this could be that the higher level demon beasts had already entered the Devilmander¡¯s tomb and arge number of strong experts must have been deployed, that¡¯s why he couldn¡¯t sense strong demon beasts. Although this was the case but getting past the blockade of thousands of truth level demon beasts was not a simple matter. However thanks to the well timed coordination and unusual tacit understanding between Xu Yingdao and the other team members, helped the entire team in safely rushing in towards the core area of Great immortal battlefield. And Ye Xiwen used his Poisonous Dragon water control g array to shield himself and basically went on rampage all the way. After flying for nearly an hour, only few teams manage to reach the core region of Great immortal battlefield, but after approaching the core region, suddenly, they began to encounter stronger demon beasts. Mostly, truth first stage and second stage demon beasts were present on the periphery of Great immortal battlefield, but the strength of demon beasts increased considerably once they reached the core region. Here, even the weakest demon beast was at the third stage of truth realm, however only handful of them were present there. They were very less in numbers whenpared to thousands of demon beasts on the periphery. Otherwise, even if Xu Yingdao¡¯s team was strong, they would still die miserably. In the sky, asionally, formidable masters of truth fifth stage or above could be seen directly diving into the sea. The Devilmander¡¯s tomb had finally arrived and it was located deep inside the sea. Chapter 184 – Bones of the dead everywhere Chapter 184 ¨C Bones of the dead everywhere Everyone looked at each other, nodded and dived into the sea water. They covered themselves in the protectiveyer of Zhen Yuan. Ye Xiwen was the only one who used the soul guard of deepwater ck serpent because it could help him in breathing freely in the deep waters, just like breathing on thend. The people dived all the way, and actually at this time, one could also see that the fight was going on between many demon beasts and human warriors. Many human warriors had already arrived here and many of them were fighting alone, plus all of them were at truth fifth stage or above, the reason why they were able to handle so many demon beasts vertically and horizontally. Although right now, Ye Xiwen was part of a team like many other teams present there, of course, he was capable enough to be on his own and he would still be able to deal with demon beasts, but in the end, he was unfamiliar with the location of tomb, hence could go his own way otherwise he wouldn¡¯t know where to dive. After diving all the way, in the midway, they encountered many horrifying truth fifth stage demon beasts. The good news was that Ye Xiwen would generally sense and discover them from afar and everyone would pick up speed, that¡¯s how they were able to avoid truth fifth stage demon beasts. At this time, Xu Yingdao and the others had a faint idea emerging in their hearts that they should never havee here. In this ce, terrifying demon beasts of truth fifth stage or above were present everywhere. Never in their wild dreams had they ever expected to see so many terrifying demon beasts at one ce. They simply didn¡¯t stand a chance even against one of these fearful demon beasts and there were so many of them. After they had a small half hour dive, they finally explored the seabed, but what they saw was a horrible sight. The surrounding seabed area in the radius of thousands of miles was covered in endless bones of the dead, camouging the entire seabed. These bones of the dead actually belonged to all those supreme masters and demon beast races, which were killed by the Devilmander in his lifetime. Sadly, even the souls of these masters had been detained by the Devilmander above the bones of the dead. They had to suffer endless torment generation after generation, and simply couldn¡¯t go into the cycle of rebirth. They were forced by the Devilmander to go through this eternal suffering, and one could easily feel the lurking extremely frightening breath everywhere. After the Devilmander was dead, these bones of the dead paved his mausoleum, guarding his corpse for millenniums, years after years for god knows how many years. Everyone, who watched this scene, suddenly gasped and held their breaths. This was just too horrible, and in these bones of the dead, asionally, some of the bones would condense into humanoid shapes or into the shapes of various demon beasts. These demon beasts or human masters once used to be the powerhouses, who wereter beheaded by the Devilmander. The bones of the dead had been able to maintain the magical powers, from the times when they were alive. This was extremely frightening! At the very first nce, Ye Xiwen was able to guess that some of these bones of the dead belonged to the masters who must have died before the Devil invasion era, but now, even they had been driven by Devilmander to show their graceful obligation, hence he could sense wild screams everywhere. These were the heroes who paid their lives in order to resist against the devils, so now, they should not be treated like this, even after death, there had beenpelled by Devilmander to work for him. Ye Xiwen thought this and felt his heart getting filled with grief and indignation. As he was approaching, he could clearly feel wails everywhere, the grievances and resentment were monstrous. ¡°Hate, hate, hate, I wish someone would obliterate devils from this world!¡± ¡°I resent, resent, resent! I died before my troops could attain victory!¡± In a sh, the mncholy and resent of so many dead masters wholeheartedly influx into Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind, however Chi Fei and other team members didn¡¯t show much concern to this. However, Ye Xiwen felt his heart being filled with anger, as if he was like a ma, attracting endless sadness from all directions, flooding directly towards Ye Xiwen. These grievances, resentments, when umted inrger concentrations, could actually distort the space, in other words, this cemetery had actually passed through years after years, for ages, despite having the distortion in space. Since the space distortion had been going on for ages, it was already regarded as a half-ne, and it was not possible to directly pass through it, they must break open the space and go through the opening to the tomb. Generally speaking, only the masters of legendary realm were able to break open spaces, but obviously, this half-ne had a very unstable space, so it was easier to break it open, but even so, a truth level master was still needed in order to break this half-ne and make the opening for enough time to go through it. Ye Xiwen direct rushed down, having the intense feeling in his heart to break this space open. He suddenly gave a loud shout and chopped out his long de, which made a crack in the space, and he immediately entered the space from where the cracks appeared. Suddenly, an even more bizarre and cold aura than before swept towards him. The cold and cloudy moqi was wanton flowing everyone, everyone¡¯splexion changed slightly, it was obvious that the presence of moqi in the surroundings was making them ufortable. (NT: Moqi = Devilqi) Only Ye Xiwen was the exception, not only he did not feel ufortable, on the contrary, by performing conversion using Tianyuan mirror, Ye Xiwen could absorb the moqi present in the cold aura, spreading a veryfortable feeling throughout his body. Because of the heavy concentration of moqi in the surroundings, it was basically impossible for everyone to use soul search. Even if they tried to use soul search, it would be directly swallowed by the moqi, covered with resentments. Ye Xiwen was the only exception, he was not afraid of his soul search being swallowed by those resentment covered moqi. Since his Tianyuan mirror had an inbuilt restraining function on anything rted to the devils, including moqi. But when Ye Xiwen used soul search, he discovered that it was impossible topletely investigate the entire stretch of tomb. However Ye Xiwen and the other team members did not dare to approach the bones of the dead, spread everywhere on the sea floor. So they could only float above. Looking at the bones of the dead everywhere on the seafloor, the hearts of everyone had a kind of chilling feeling. Even if numerous years had passed, these bones were still exuding a jade-like gloss, it appeared sacred and wless. These bones also indicated that it didn¡¯t matter how terrifying and peerless those experts would have been back in those days when they were alive, but they still actually died at the hands of the Devilmander. Moreover, from the sheer quantity of bones of the dead, one could make a guess how terrifying that Devilmander must be when he was alive. But even so, despite being so tyrannical, the Devilmander was now dead, he couldn¡¯t escape death. A lifetime of fame and glory certainly couldn¡¯t save him from death, but one could certainly say that he must have been strong to unimaginable proportions. As everyone was overwhelmed from the scene present in front of their eyes, suddenly, a violent fluctuation of dead qi took ce beneath the piles of bones of the dead, and a skull and nearby bones instantly condensed into a human form, with a bone sword in his hand, and immediately chopped out a terrifying Swordqi towards Ye Xiwen. The figure of a dragon immediately congealed out of Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and directly skimming out towards the iing Swordqi. It didn¡¯t take even an instant for the coiling dragon to grab the Swordqi in its ws and thenpletely crushed it. Ye Xiwen did not hesitate and immediately chopped out his long de, releasing an enormous deqi towards that skeleton. ¡°Bang!¡± deqi rushed unobstructed and collided into the bones of the dead. The very next instant, the sound of breaking bones was heard by everyone present on the scene. Actually, some of the bones of that skeleton immediately cracked upon Ye Xiwen¡¯s attack, but it was still not defeated. Everyone was astonished at this scene, they could feel that although it was only a simple de attack but the power contained in it was not small, but still could not destroy that skeleton warrior. This indicated that he was too strong and tough! ¡°The extent of toughness of these bones is really reaching the point exaggeration. I am afraid before death, this skeleton warrior was absolutely an invincible master of truth seventh or eighth stage!¡± Chi Fei said with an incredible look in his eyes. Even in a major sect like Yi Yuan School, the invincible masters of truth seventh or eighth stage were considered among the small number of top elites, but here, there was actually a dense crowd of such invincible masters everywhere. ¡°I will help you in getting to the other side.¡± Ye Xiwen lightly said, even after death, this skeleton warrior was being manipted, had be someone else¡¯s watchdog, this was such a sad thing. Ye Xiwen chopped out his long de once again, and in a sh, nine de shadows appeared out of nowhere, and rushed towards the skeleton warrior and crashed into his body, breaking his body into multiple fragments. These bone fragments crumbled and fell on the seafloor, while at the same time, the dark evil spirit hidden in the skeleton was also instantly beheaded by Ye Xiwen. Obviously, the reason behind the existence of these evil spirits was due to the contamination of souls by the presence of endless moqi in the surroundings, giving rise to wisdom but with only killing instinct, these were the so-called evil spirits. Even on the remains of some of the formidable powerhouses, the born evil spirits would recover a portion of the memory from their past lives, and hence could put forth the magical powers from the past as well. If their team was to encounter the evil spirit on the bones of an evildoer(monster), it would simply be a dead end for them. ¡°ording to the map, the Devilmander¡¯s tomb is located somewhere in the central areas of this ce, covered in the bones of the dead.¡± Chi Fei took out the map, inspected for a while and said.¡±Right now, we are only at the periphery and still encountered such terrifying dangers. If we continue to go deeper towards the central areas, we may encounter formidable enemies and dealing with them may be beyond our own capacities. Now that I made this clear to everyone, if you don¡¯t want to go, now is the time to quit!¡± However, everyone was silent for a moment, no one wanted to quit, after all, they already arrived after facing so many difficulties, and if they quite at this time, it would be really aggrieving and depressing. Moreover, they were a proud and arrogant team of elites, how could they possibly ept such an oue? Since no one wanted to quit mean, they didn¡¯t continue to dy and immediately resumed the journey to the tomb. On the way, they encountered other warrior teams and lone warriors as well, but since everyone was in a hurry, there was no intersection. Along the way, they once again encountered an attack from skeleton from the bones of the dead. This attacking skeleton seemed to be made up of jade crystal, indicating that most probably, during his lifetime, he was a powerhouse at an extremely profound level, but now, there is no awareness left in him, he had simply be someone¡¯s ve. But nevertheless, this dead powerhouse, although now only a skeleton, was still very difficult to deal with. Later, Ye Xiwen shot less and less, generally, whenever he attacked, it was always thest shot because he already noticed the killing intention in Xu Yingdao¡¯s eyes. He was repeatedly redirecting the attacks from the skeletons towards Ye Xiwen, but Ye Xiwen was strong enough to resist. But Ye Xiwen also slowly began to reduce the number of attacks on skeletons and focused more on being wary of Xu Yingdao. Chapter 185 – Schemes and tricks Chapter 185 ¨C Schemes and tricks ¡°Ye Xiwen, it seems this Xu Yingdao bears deep hatred for you and wants to kill you.¡± Ye Mo said, being a spirit himself, he was very sensitive to these things. ¡°He is courting death, but right now, I do not have any information regarding the exact location of Devilmander tomb so I need to depend on whatever information they have, but if Xu Yingdao dared to cause trouble for me then I¡¯ll directly kill him.¡± Ye Xiwen lightly said in his heart, anyway he had concealed his true appearance and wasn¡¯t afraid of being hunted down by the people of Great Ind of Immortals if they found out that he killed their disciple. Even if they found out, Great Ind of Immortals was too far away from Yi Yuan School, and now, he was going to be the official true disciple of Yi Yuan School. Earlier when he killed Luo Tian, he had to be careful and didn¡¯t want others to find out that he killed Luo Tian, but now, even if they found out that it was actually him who killed Luo Tian, the sect wouldn¡¯t allow anyone toy their hands on Ye Xiwen, because whenpared to a truth level master like him, Luo Tian was simply an ant-like existence. Not to mention, everyone knew about the reason why Luo Tian was killed, because he tried to defile and kill Hua Menghan by poisoning her, he basically deserved to die. At present, Xu Yingdao was simply not in his eyes, because Ye Xiwen was fully focused on his battle with the peerless and exquisite eighth prince, three months from now! ¡°Ye Xiwen, these are many evil spirits in the piles of bones of the dead. These evil spirits have taken birth slowly and gradually over periods of long time, and to be honest, these evil spirits are the source of trouble for others, but for you, they are nothing but nourishments.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°Because these evil spirits take birth from moqi, they can definitely bepletely transformed by Tianyuan mirror.¡± When Ye Xiwen heard this, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, because now he would be able to have a rapid progress in strength by leaps and bounds in the shortest time, since he was going to use all of the evil spirits present in these piles of bones as nourishments! After thinking of this, Ye Xiwen suddenly disyed a much more positive attitude than before. He even directly rushed to the front of the team and went all the way to open up a path through the bones. The evil spirits that dared to block his way simply weren¡¯t his opponents and were directly beheaded by him, then werepletely transformed by Tianyuan mirror and absorbed by Ye Xiwen. As Ye Xiwen continued the absorption, his cultivation was constantly rising simultaneously, and most importantly, some of these evil spirits had regained some of the memories of their past lives, including the martial arts memories, which were also absorbed by Ye Xiwen. The mysterious space was constantly working inside his mind and unceasinglyprehending and analyzing the influx of endless information which was being constantly absorbed by him. Thank to this, his martial arts experience also began to rise, greatly benefitting him in the process. Various aspects of martial arts experience was contained in the memories absorbed by Ye Xiwen. Among the absorbed evil spirits, many of them were at legendary realm powerhouses and their martial arts experience was strong, although it was only a word or two, only theme of fingernail, but regarding Ye Xiwen, it was actually the best supplement, as right now, his cultivation was increasing constantly due to this. Some of the martial arts experiences were not soprehensive for him earlier, but now, all of gaps in his experience was being filled up unceasingly. Although, each of these evil spirits might hold a little bit of memory, but as Ye Xiwen continued to kill, god knows how many thousand skeletons were beheaded by him, and all of these small martial arts experiences, when added up, contributed a considerable overall martial arts experience to him. Ye Xiwen¡¯s aura was slowly changing and bing more and more stable, this was the realm of sublimation. After those skeletons didn¡¯t have evil spirits anymore, suddenly the resentment attached to them also dispersed. These resentments were strongly concentrated on top of the evil spirits, but now that the evil spirits were beheaded by Ye Xiwen, the resentful souls could also finally rest in peace. Because Ye Xiwen continued to encounter these skeletons all the way as they were trying to block his path and it was simply impossible to guess how many of these skeletons present in the piles of bones of the dead. There was an infinite view of endless piles of skeletons spread in all direction, and as far as the eyesight would go, there was no end to them. They were on move for a full three days and nights, and finally, Ye Xiwen and the team arrived in the central region of the bones of the dead. They were encountering sierras of bone piles, one after another, continuously, on the seabed. Although only three days passed, but almost all the time, the whole team was fighting nonstop. Xu Yingdao and other team members also saw considerable promotions in their respective strengths, especially Xu Yingdao and Chu Fei, who were now almost on the verge of breaking through to the truth fourth stage. Talking about enhancement in strength, naturally Ye Xiwen was the winner among them, since he experienced the most promotion in his strength. He had only recently stepped into the truth second stage, but this time, with the rapid progress, he was able to reach the peak of truth second stage, and now, his strength wasparable to the masters at the peak of truth fourth stage. This was the case when he was unarmed, but if would use Poisonous Dragon water control g, then he could easilypete with even more powerful masters. Moreover, the martial arts experience obtained from the evil spirits waspletely digested by Ye Xiwen, and after thorough absorption, Ye Xiwen was able to reach a very high level of understanding of martial arts, even in some ces, the level of his understanding could match with the legendary realm characters. A variety of martial science and secret techniques came in real handy and Ye Xiwen also deduced the third move of ¡°Coiling dragon palm¡±. Ye Xiwen named it ¡®Secret rain clouds¡¯, and when he shot his palm, arge shadow of his palm enveloped the entire area. This method was simply overwhelming and imprable, to the point that it was impossible for any attack type technique to match its level. It belonged to one of the secret offensive and defensive type attacking techniques. And this time, Ye Xiwen was able to able toprehend it after repeatedly deducing the experiences besieged from several peerless masters. An offensive and defensive type attack technique could perform both offensive and defensive functions, and using ¡®Secret rain clouds¡¯, Ye Xiwen was able to considerably speed up the beheadings of skeletons, it could even be said that he was basically sweeping them away. Those evil spirits simply had no way to resist against Ye Xiwen and were being crushed in abundance by him. At the current level of Ye Xiwen¡¯s cultivation, he was only one small step away from stepping into the truth third stage. As long as he managed to have a breakthrough once again, his fighting strength would increase by leaps and bounds. The speed of growth in Ye Xiwen¡¯s breath was almost visible to naked eyes, although every time, after leaking out a little bit of breath, he would immediately cover it up, but Xu Yingdao and the other were still aware that Ye Xiwen¡¯s progressive speed was extremely horrifying. Originally, Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was terrifying enough of terror, but they never thought that his rate of progress was ever more terrifying. Each time he killed a skeleton, his breath would be more powerful, and this way, perhaps no could stop him from bing exponentially stronger with each kill. ¡°Listen everyone, we turn left here then there¡¯s only about 100 miles to arrive at the destination.¡± At this time, Xu Yingdao opened his mouth and said, ¡°This is a shortcut, an ancestor of my sect once passed through there.¡± ¡°Ye Xiwen, since you are the one who leads us each time, so this time, you again go first and explore this route for us.¡± Xu Yingdao said. Everyone nodded and did not feel anything odd about it, after all, Xu Yingdao was a disciple of Great Ind of Immortals, so it should be normal if he knew any shortcuts. Since, it was the ce where the ¡®Demon beast kingdom¡¯ once contended with the ¡®Great Ind of Immortals¡¯ which ultimately formed this ancient battlefield. Ye Xiwen went towards the shortcut pointed out by Xu Yingdao but after having covered some distance, Ye Xiwen abruptly stopped, turned around and looked coldly at Xu Yingdao. ¡°Why did you stop?¡± Xu Yingdao asked, while everyone also looked somewhat strangely at Ye Xiwen. ¡°So you want to kill me.¡± Ye Xiwen coldly said. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± For an instant, a startled look shed on Xu Yingdao¡¯s face, then immediately restored to a calm expression, as he coldly replied. ¡°Senior Ye, what¡¯s this all about?¡± Qianqian asked. ¡°He wants to lure me into the ambush of a formidable skeleton.¡± Ye Xiwen coldly stare at Xu Yingdao and said. ¡°How is this even possible?¡± Xu Yingdao naturally didn¡¯t acknowledge Ye Xiwen¡¯s usation. ¡°I see, since there is no problem then you go first and lead the way.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said. Xu Yingdao¡¯splexion immediately turned unsightly, he certainly knew about the danger down this path. ¡°You are making false usations.¡± ¡°You think that I don¡¯t know? There¡¯s a terrifying skeleton monster up ahead!¡± Ye Xiwen said coldly, ¡°As soon as I approach him, I¡¯m afraid it will be a dead end for me.¡± ¡°You, how do you know about that?¡± Xu Yingdao asked in a startled manner, he knew that his scheme had been seen through by Ye Xiwen, but he was more frightened because he didn¡¯t know how his plot was discovered by Ye Xiwen. At the end of this path, there was a peerless skeleton monster. An ancestor of his sect had once taken this path and had ended up fighting with this peerless skeleton monster, but how did Ye Xiwen find out about this? Ye Xiwen sneered, how could he not know about this? Others were unable to use soul search in this ce piled up with the bones of the dead, so they were basically unable to sense what was awaiting them in the distance, but Ye Xiwen was able to use soul search and hence could easily sense any formidable skeleton masters from afar. Although his soul search could not go very far, but enough to sense that there was a terrifying skeleton monster ahead, hidden in the mountain of bones. Even the slightest fluctuations in the aura among the bones of the dead would alert Ye Xiwen. For Ye Xiwen, this was not at all difficult and just because he could use soul search, he could always sense danger from far away. So, he could quietly avoid some of the more dangerous skeleton monster infested areas, this was how they smoothly arrived here with Ye Xiwen in the lead. Xu Yingdao wanted to use this trick to overcast Ye Xiwen, but it was actually discovered by Ye Xiwen. Xu Yingdao was a conniving guy, if there was no absolute assurance to his sess, he would never have put his n into motion. Earlier, when he discovered that Ye Xiwen was extremely formidable, he was waiting patiently to put his n into action at the right time. Also on the way, he would asionally provoke Ye Xiwen using random methods, making Ye Xiwen think that Xu Yingdao was only capable of using small means and nothing else. This time, the n to use that terrifying skeleton monster to eliminate Ye Xiwen was supposed to bepletely safe and foolproof, but who knew that it would actually be seen through by Ye Xiwen so easily. Therefore, the shock waspletely exposed on his face, because he couldn¡¯t ept the face that Ye Xiwen had seen through his supposedly perfect n. ¡°Ye Xiwen, this guy actually plotted to kill you, we absolutely cannot let him off.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°I have repeatedly tolerated you but never thought that you will go so far as to plot against me, you leave me no choice!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and his figure instantly moved. Chapter 186 – Xu Yingdao beheaded Chapter 186 ¨C Xu Yingdao beheaded ¡°I have repeatedly tolerated you but never thought that you will go so far as to plot against me, you leave me no choice!¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and his figure instantly moved. However, Xu Yingdao¡¯s reaction time was also not slow, it could be said that he already wanted to fight with Ye Xiwen, especially since now his n had been exposed to Ye Xiwen. Xu Yingdao wanted to make the first move to gain advantage and ultimately kill Ye Xiwen. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you are too arrogant, you think I will forget everything and let you off?¡± Xu Yingdao coldly said. ¡°No one has ever dared to humiliate me, today is the day you die!¡± A small pagoda appeared in Xu Yingdao¡¯s hand and began to spin violently, then started getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly, a horrifying spiritual pressure instantly pressed towards Ye Xiwen. It was actually a top-grade spiritual tool! No wonder, he was so confident in plotting against Ye Xiwen, so it turned out to be this. ¡°This spirit tool named ¡®Zhenyao pagoda¡¯ has been specifically refined for me by my sect¡¯s elder. In front of it, even the so-called evildoers are helpless. They can just stay with their hands tied and wait to be captured.¡± Xu Yingdaoughed insolently while the ¡®Zhenyao pagoda¡¯ was getting bigger and bigger in his hands, and soon, it looked just like an iron tower then instantly pressed down towards Ye Xiwen. (NT: Zhenyao = to drive away the evil spirits.) Under the influence of the enormous and mighty breath released from the pagoda, the skeletons of those demon beast powerhouses began trembling because the Zhenyao pagoda itself was suppress them, and the reason why they showed reaction at this time was due to the restraining function of pagoda. ¡°Boom!¡± The whole Zhenyao pagoda directly suppressed towards Ye Xiwen, and he waspletely submerged in its terrifying spiritual pressure. After Ye Xiwen waspletely suppressed down, innumerable bones of the dead were also crushed into the sea floor by the spiritual pressure. ¡°Ha ha ha, dead, he is dead!¡± Xu Yingdao¡¯s face revealed a grim look. There was a carefree feeling in his heart, the same feeling one would get after killing a powerful enemy. As the muddy water dispersed, the Zhenyao pagoda also flew up, but everyone actually saw Ye Xiwen standing proudly among the muddy water, as if the suppression of Zhenyao pagoda had no effect on him whatsoever. ¡°You, why are you not dead?¡± Xu Yingdao was suddenly startled and just couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. The suppression attack of his Zhenyao pagoda was strong enough to easily kill even the masters of truth fourth stage with one shot, but how could it possibly have no effect on Ye Xiwen. ¡°As if someone like you can kill me.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered. A moment ago, he immediately used Tianyuan mirror to shield his body, otherwise, the suppression from the varying spiritual pressure of a top-grade spiritual tool, if not kill or cripple him, could have injured him. This was the reason why Xu Yingdao was so confident, but as long as Ye Xiwen had Tianyuan mirror to protect him, he could easily deal with Zhenyao pagoda. Now it was crystal clear that Xu Yingdao was dead set on killing him! He simply didn¡¯t conceal the killing intention boiling in his heart for Ye Xiwen. At this time, Qianqian and the other team members were carefully observing the battle. They never expected that the things would evolve so fast and take such a form. Although they held a tacit coordination with their teammate, Xu Yingdao, but after working with Ye Xiwen in the same team for thest few days, they developed good impression of Ye Xiwen in their hearts, after all, all these days, Ye Xiwen had been killing all the formidable skeleton monsters which could be considered as a big help for them. It could be said that without Ye Xiwen, they simply wouldn¡¯t have safelye this far. This was indeed the fact because if Ye Xiwen hadn¡¯t take up the role of pathfinder for the team then would have bumped into skeletons much stronger than them, and considering their strength, they would probably be wiped out by now, let alone arriving here unharmed. Therefore, the battle between Ye Xiwen and Xu Yingdao was giving a kind of helpless feeling to everyone. They did not know whose side they should take! ¡°You are courting death!¡± Xu Yingdao suddenly turned even more furious and suppressed down Zhenyao pagoda towards Ye Xiwen. ¡°You should probably give up now.¡± Ye Xiwen sneered and instantly opened the devils wings on his back, then suddenly arrived in front of Xu Yingdao. Xu Yingdao was suddenly rmed because he did not think that Ye Xiwen would actually use such a method. The devil wings granted him unimaginable speed, and thanks to that, he instantly escaped from the repression of Zhenyao pagoda and arrived in front of Xu Yingdao. Ye Xiwen shot his palm releasing a terrifying aura, and along with it, echoed the loud roar of a dragon in the surroundings. It seemed as if the heaven suddenly caved in and instantly suppressed towards Xu Yingdao. Xu Yingdao stepped forward to greet this attack with his own fist and a fierce collision took ce. ¡°Boom!¡± The two attacks collided and resulted into a terrifying explosion, which instantly evaporated endless amount of seawater, even countless bones of the dead were blown away. ¡°Poof!¡± Xu Yingdao spurted out a mouthful of blood and his whole stature continually drew back several steps. How could his average palm technique possibly beat coiling dragon palm¡¯s first move, hidden dragon rises from the abyss? When Ye Xiwen used this move, its true might manifest itself magnificently, even in the deep sea. ¡°Why are you guys not helping me, cannot you see this man is not human? He is a devil, let¡¯s kill him and we will receive massive rewards from out sects!¡± Xu Yingdao was not thinking rationally, at this time, he was quite afraid that he was actually not the opponent of Ye Xiwen, so he was trying to seek help from Qianqian and the others. However, these people weren¡¯t fools that they would unnecessarily attack Ye Xiwen. It was not hard to imagine that if an evildoer (monster) like Ye Xiwen managed to escape then they could basically consider themselves as dead from today onwards. Not to mention, they could clearly see that Ye Xiwen was not a devil, although the pair of wings appeared to be some kind of devil arts based magical technique, but this was nothing, after all, they also had their own secrets. Also, Xu Yingdao himself was a practitioner of some turtle demon beast¡¯s power technique. It did not matter, because it was not possible to prove whether Ye Xiwen was a devil or not! ¡°Today you are going to die, nobody can save you.¡± Ye Xiwen said in a cold voice. The huge amounts of Zhen Yuan instantly burst out of Ye Xiwen¡¯s body and just like the mighty ocean waves, it overran towards Xu Yingdao. His whole body, just like a falling meteor, rushed towards Xu Yingdao at an incredibly fast speed. ¡°If you want me dead, I¡¯ll pull you down with me.¡± Xu Yingdao said with a violent look in his eyes, this man was ruthless man and was actually willing to go as far as die together with Ye Xiwen. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t get a chance!¡± Ye Xiwen gave out a loud shout. An ominous look shed in Xu Yingdao¡¯s eyes, he took a step forward and his imposing aura waspletely released out of his body. The Zhen Yuan transformed into a turtle and rushed towards Ye Xiwen to trample him. Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t have the slightest fear, as he instantly sted ¡®Coiling dragon palm¡¯ towards the turtle. The coiling dragon severely collided with the turtle. Ye Xiwen¡¯s coiling dragon instantly opened its big mouth and swallowed down the turtles. Xu Yingdao immediately spouted blood, while he was sent flying far away by Ye Xiwen, but right when his blood came in contact with the Zhenyao pagoda, it seemed as if the pagoda was suddenly stimted by the blood and it began to spin rapidly, immediately focusing its suppression pressure on Ye Xiwen. ¡°Ye Xiwen! Die!¡± Xu Yingdao shouted while a cruel smile appeared on his face. ¡°You think you can suppress me, dream on!¡± Ye Xiwen thundered loudly, and immediately shot his palm, releasing boundless power and influence which finally sted into the Zhenyao pagoda. Zhenyao pagoda was spinning unceasingly and because of the suppression spiritual pressure, it was nearly impossible for Ye Xiwen to approach it, but at this time, his Poisonous Dragon water control g suddenly began to revolving around his body, sending out deepwater ck serpents one after another, who severely pounded on the Zhenyao pagoda. ¡°Kara!¡± ¡°Kara!¡± ¡°Kara!¡± Ye Xiwen¡¯s attacks sted on the rugged Zhenyao pagoda and several cracks appeared on its structure. ¡°Tianyuan mirror!¡± Ye Xiwen shouted and Tianyuan mirror flew out from his body, shone brightly and released scarlet colored virtual shadow of an invincible emperor, while his terrifying aura scattered out. It seemed as if this scarlet virtual shadow was looking at this world, he lifted his face upward and gave out a long and loud roar then his punch fiercely sted, directly on the Zhenyao pagoda, which suddenly cracked upon the impact. The owner of this scarlet virtual shadow was no ordinary person, it was actually the image of the former master of Tianyuan mirror, of course, at Ye Xiwen¡¯s current strength, could congeal only a millionth part of the real strength of the original owner, but it already shocked everybody present on the scene. However, whenever Ye Xiwen used Tianyuan mirror and put forth this move, almost every time, more than ten thousand top grade spirit stones were consumed in the process. But this ultra-high consumption, in exchange, granted greatly strengthened battle efficiency. Even the Zhenyao pagoda, along with its varying spiritual pressure, actually exploded with a loud bang. ¡°Poof!¡± But at this time, Xu Yingdao spouted a mouthful of blood, his Zhenyao pagoda was defeated and he directly fainted from the impact . Ye Xiwen didn¡¯t n to spare him, he immediately opened the devil wings, in any case, he had already resorted to devil wings moments ago and didn¡¯t mind others to see them. He instantly arrived in front of Xu Yingdao, and simultaneously, a big hand congealed out of nowhere and tore apart the protectiveyer of Zhen Yuan from Xu Yingdao¡¯s body, and rumbled into his body. ¡°Bang!¡± With a loud noise, the flesh and blood spattered everywhere. Xu Yingdao was directly grasped in Ye Xiwen¡¯s w and immediately died. The other four team members were totally stunned when this scene suddenly unfolded in front of their eyes. In such a short period of time, right in front of their eyes, Xu Yingdao was directly crushed in Ye Xiwen¡¯s w. He simply didn¡¯t have the strength to fight back and was ultimately killed. Ye Xiwen¡¯s strength was really enormous, almost unimaginable and shocking in general. ¡°Xu Yingdao is now dead, if his sect inquires about it, you can freely push it on me.¡± Ye Xiwen indifferently said, he was not afraid, anyway, his appearance was false, so the Great Ind of immortals could investigate all they want, they would never find out about his true identity. ¡°Of course not, Xu Yingdao was killed and eaten by a terrifying demon beast in the sea.¡± At this time, Chi Fei said as he knew that Ye Xiwen was definitely not someone he could mess with, in any case, Xu Yingdao was now dead so why not do a favor to an evildoer (monster) like Ye Xiwen! ¡°Indeed, indeed!¡± Everyone said one after another in session. And this time, Ye Xiwen looked at them and said: ¡°Such being the case, I will not continue to bother you guys.¡± Ye Xiwen also knew that there might be some who still held some grudges against him so it didn¡¯t make sense to stay with them any longer. Chapter 187 – Experts gather Chapter 187 ¨C Experts gather Ye Xiwen left Qianqian¡¯s team, he knew that without his help, it would be extremely difficult for them to continue, their strength was quite limited, but this time, there was not a small improvement in their strengths, they were on the verge of breakthrough to the next stage, so it was not like they didn¡¯t achieve anything from Ye Xiwen addition into their team. This could be considered as more thanpensation for the time their team was led by Ye Xiwen. But before going, Ye Xiwen took the map from Chi Fei and carefully observed it. After Ye Xiwen left, Chi Fei looked back and said: ¡°Qianqian, just where you met such a metamorphosis, he is simply too formidable.¡± ¡°I do not know his background, but considering his strength, heart and mind, in the future, he will certainly be a legendary character, and perhaps at that time, we will also hear about him.¡± Qianqian muttered. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Qianqian turned around and said, ¡°We can no longer continue to go any further, guys, let¡¯s find contentment in whatever we obtained so far.¡± ¡°En!¡± The team members nodded in abundance because they knew that even with Xu Yingdao was with them, it would be impossible for them to go any further. Ye Xiwen went towards the central region of the cemetery, along the paved way of bones of the dead and as he was getting closer to the central region of the tomb, the moqi was getting more abundant, while the skeleton monsters were also getting more formidable. However, he also continued to encounter more and more powerful warriors and almost all of them were the experts of truth fifth stage or above. The likes of truth third stage warriors were simply nonexistent in this area because there was no way for them to survive here. Finding truth second stage warriors like Ye Xiwen at such depths of cemetery was simply out of question. One could see a giant tomb in the distance, while the outside was actually a piece by piece paving from the bones of the dead. Ye Xiwen looked at this grave which appeared as if it was right in front of him but seemed very far away. ¡°Ye Xiwen, this Devilmander tomb is not located in this time and space, just like this whole area with bones is located in a different time and space from your world. It¡¯s impossible to get there if you want to just casually walk to that ce, the only way is to break open the space.¡± Ye Mo¡¯s experienced eyes had seen through the actual situation of this tomb. Sure enough, Ye Xiwen actually saw from afar how those powerful warriors were tearing the space to rush in from the cracks in space. Ye Xiwen was about to go in but Ye Mo suddenly said: ¡°Wait, Ye Xiwen, I feel the presence of people of Bai Mojiao!¡± Ye Xiwen was surprised for a moment, it was somewhat incredible to think why people of Bai Mojiao woulde here, but then he immediately rxed thinking that this ce was after all the tomb of a Devilmander, so how could Bai Mojiao possibly abandon it to be plundered by other people. Ye Xiwen closed his eyes to sense and at a very distant ce, he sensed the auras of several masters of Bai Mojiao. It was simply impossible to hide devil arts breath from Ye Xiwen. However, the auras of these people of Bai Mojiao werepletely submerged in the endless amount of moqi lingering about in the cemetery, and most people simply had no way to detect, but since Ye Xiwen had also practiced devil arts just like the people of Bai Mojiao, so he was able to perceive them from afar. Bai Mojiao had actually stationed arge number of troops outside to prepare an ambush, however they were not ambushing anyone, in fact, they weren¡¯t even stopping the warriors and demon beasts from entering, what were they trying to do? From an average person¡¯s point of view, it was easy to guess that perhaps, they didn¡¯t want to offend so many people at this moment, but the same logic couldn¡¯t be applied on an organization like Bai Mojiao, because anyway, their main goal was to offend the everyone and hand over the control of this world to devil race, so it was quite difficult to guess what was going on in their minds. Moreover, there were faint fluctuations in the moqi, although it was perfectly covered under the moqi of this tomb, but Ye Xiwen could still feel it and knew that Bai Mojiao had covertly prepared a Zhen formation here but didn¡¯t know the reason behind it. Ye Xiwen paced back and forth for a moment and did not know whether to go inside or not. Bai Mojiao was obviously plotting something and if he went inside then he would most likely fall into their trap. ¡°Ye Xiwen, you can go inside, it¡¯s all right.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°This Bai Mojiao Zhen formation is just a peripheral arrangement, because they cannot disturb too many people, so it is not very strong. It seems like they are trying to use this formation in an attempt to induce a direct crack into the depths of the tomb, most likely to obtain the treasures present in the depths of this tomb.¡± Ye Mo wholeheartedly exined things to Ye Xiwen. ¡°If you were alone then you¡¯d better turn around and leave right now, but certainly there are arge number of experts here and many more continue to arrive as we talk. When the time of dangeres, you can be just one fish in a school of fishes and just act ording to the circumstances¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°Bai Mojiao¡¯s acting style is usually very domineering, arrogant and despotic, but this time, they are being so careful, so there certainly are some tyrannical masters among the enemy, making them to behave cautiously right now.¡± ¡°En.¡± Ye Xiwen nodded then made up his mind and immediately flew on the rainbow. He rushed towards the top of the mountain of bones, tore open the space and went inside. Seeing another figure rush inside, a cold smile appeared on the face of Bai Mojiao leader while a killing intent shed in his eyes, however he did not act rashly. Ye Xiwen tore the space to enter the dimension where the tomb was actually located, although the surrounding scenery looked exactly simr, as if he could almost see the things present outside, but Ye Xiwen actually knew that this was not the outside, this was an entirely different dimension. ¡°I never thought that this Devilmander¡¯s tomb will actually have so tight security, will have two different spaces.¡± Ye Xiwen thought aloud. He nced around and saw endless mountains of bones everywhere, while a tyrannical breath was lurking about. All of the people were hiding behind these bone mountains and waiting for the tomb to open. Ye Xiwen also had to hide behind a mountain of bones. ¡°What¡¯s with these magical powers, almost each one of them has an inconsistent and shifty presence. If this was an Emperor¡¯s tomb, even approaching it should be impossible. Regardless of where an emperor level character falls, his grave always resembles the nature itself. The tomb of an emperor level figure is bound to be extraordinarily tyrannical, it automatically forms a supreme pattern of geomantic omen, and within the radius of hundreds of Li, the terrifying killing intent distorts countlessws, condensing them into dreadfulw weapons.¡± Ye Mo said. ¡°This Devilmander¡¯s tomb is far inferior than the Emperor¡¯s tomb, just look at this fluctuation, the space here is clearly about to copse. It was born because of thepetition of Great Ind of the immortals and Demon beast Kingdom for numerous years, maybe that¡¯s why the space here is so unstable and on the verge of copsing.¡± Ye Mo said, ¡°So this time, among all of the masters who have arrived here, there certainly isn¡¯t anyone in the legendary realm. Because the space here is too fragile and if a master of legendary realm appears, then it won¡¯t be able to withstand the fluctuations caused by a legendary level master. Even if only a little, but the fluctuation caused by such a master may lead to instant copse of this space. So considering this, you still have a chance.¡± ¡°Emperor level people can also die?¡± Ye Xiwen asked because ording to what Ye Mo once said, an emperor level character was a great existence, capable of ruling an entire world, but such a character could also die. ¡°Of course, since the ancient times, there has been endless number of deaths of emperor level characters. In this universe, there¡¯s no one who cannot die.¡± Ye Mo sighed and said. Ye Xiwen was silent, did not say anything, just activated the ¡®restraining breath technique¡¯ and deeply restrained his own breath so as to not be discovered for as long as possible. At this time, finally someone unscrupulous appeared. He had an appearance of about 20 years old, d in white clothes and was holding a spear in his hand, the heroic bearing was thriving in his persona while his whole body appeared like an imposing spear, making the people not dare to watch intently. Seeing this man appear out of nowhere, suddenly, there were fluctuations in the soul searches of various experts. There were a lot of experts who used soul search to with each other, and at this time, the ones who were able tomunicate using soul search were obviously the tyrannical experts, basically with cultivation above truth fifth stage. In fact, only experts with cultivation above truth fifth stage were able to use soul search, and excluding a freak like Ye Xiwen, the experts with cultivation below truth fifth stage could not even use soul search to sense others, forget about using it formunication. However theirmunication actually couldn¡¯t escape the capture from Tianyuan mirror and fell into Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind. ¡°I did not expect that even Bai Wuhen would also appear for the treasure!¡± ¡°Yes, he is known as the white clothed sojourner. He is colder than the ice, possessed a killing heart, blood thirsty ughterer who kills at whim, an evil minded tyrannical master, no one knows how many tyrannical masters have been killed by his long spear. Even as a loose cultivator, he is really a rare genius with god-gifted wisdom!¡± ¡°I did not expect that the Devilmander¡¯s treasure would even attract a master of truth ninth peak, now we really don¡¯t have a chance, so unlucky ah!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the number of peerless masters who will arrive here for the treasure is far more than just one peerless master like Bai Wuhen, just let them kill each other, while we can be like small fishes in troubled waters and act ording to circumstances.¡± After the appearance of this peerless master, Ye Xiwen immediately understood that it seemed like there were many others who held the exact same idea like him toy low and reap benefits as the third party in a dispute. But this Bai Wuhen dared to be the first guy to appear openly in front of everyone, without concealing his strength, which clearly showed how much self-confidence he had in his own strength. After the sudden appearance of Bai Wuhen, soon, a second master quickly entered this space, it was actually a young boy in water-blue robe, seemed about seventeen-year-old. Although he appeared quite young, but his aura was verypelling. ¡°Even the super genius of Xing n, Xing Lang, has also emerged. He is not one bit weaker than Bai Wuhen, and as the leader of the younger generation of Xing n, there¡¯s almost no rival of his unrestrained swordsmanship.¡± ¡°Good graciousness, so many peerless talents have arrived at this ce, could it be that this time, all of the most talented individuals, in the surrounding radius of almost 100,000 Li, have gathered here?¡± Someone eximed out loud. Shortly after that appeared several figures of females, headed by a woman in adorned clothing, who looked exquisite and outstanding. Her name was Qing Mingyue and she was actually a disciple of Female pce, a considerably big influence in the East China Sea. The next to arrive was the newly emerging invincible genius of Great Ind of the immortals, Shang Guan. He also possessed peerless imposing aura and had a heroic bearing. Finally, thest figure to arrive wasn¡¯t human but a two-headed giant crocodile, ten meters in length, faint ominous eyes glowing in the dark. He was one of the top figures of the new generation of demon beasts. His breath was significantly better than the breath of those several other tyrannical human warriors. Chapter 188 – Tomb opens Chapter 188 Tomb opens Suddenly, the strongest tyrannical master made an appearance, he was much more tyrannical than all the masters who arrived so far, his aura was soaring to the heavens and he was certainly not trying to conceal it from others. However he didn¡¯t wait for the people to get over their panic and suddenly torn a void in the space and rushed towards the panic-stricken experts. One could easily see that this guy was iparably rampant than any other experts already present there. Everyone looked, it was actually a young master, he indifferently looked at the crowd of experts, as if he was looking down on everyone. Ye Xiwen was actually quite surprised for a moment because from the body of this human expert, he could actually sense the same aura as he sensed from Qi Feifan. He actually possessed a very simr breath to Qi Feifan, an extraordinary breath which was simply beyond the reach of any truth level expert. Half-step legendary realm! Suddenly, an idea emerged in Ye Xiwen¡¯s mind that this was definitely a half-step legendary figure, exceptionally formidable, not one bit inferior to Qi Feifan. But soon, Ye Xiwen rxed and stopped the rigorous thinking about this, because even in Great Yue State, there were four half-step legendary level strongest true disciples in Yi Yuan School, and there were many half-step legendary experts in the younger generation of other major sects as well. So, considering that East China Sea was so vast, though it was said to beparatively less densely popted than Great Yue State, but how could it not have any half-step legendary characters among the top yers of younger generation. Ye Xiwen no longer surprised to see a half-step legendary master at this ce. The experts were quite startled at the sudden emergence of this peerless master but Shang Guan of the Great Ind of the Immortals was the only one whoseplexion suddenly paled and his eyes instantly filled with killing intention. ¡°Who is this man and why does Shang Guan hold such an intense killing intention for him?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know? He is a famous expert, who first rose to fame about hundred years ago.¡± ¡°This man is named Mo Xue, more than hundred years ago, he was once a disciple of Great Ind of the immortals and was considered the super genius at that time, he was actually a highly cultured genius. A lot of people said that the Great Ind of the Immortals had trained him for the sole purpose of leading them in the future, but then no one knows what happened and Mo Xue actually betrayed them. Later, many experts of the Great Ind of the Immortals chased him down to eradicate him, but they all perished in his hands. One of the perished pursuers was the elder brother of Shang Guan. They say that the rtionship between Shang Guan and his brother was very good, it could be said that from childhood, he grew up in the care of his elder brother, but he never thought that his elder brother would actually die in the hands of Mo Xue. Since then, Shang Guan has been constantly tracking down Mo Xue in all directions, everywhere just to kill him and take revenge for his elder brother¡¯s death.¡± ¡°But Shang Guan should not be the opponent of Mo Xue right, how can he possibly pursue him?¡± ¡°Who knows, but, there are lots of misgivings between the two.¡± A half-step master of legendary realm was considered very tyrannical, on par with peerless masters like Qi Feifan, who were considered iparably super strong experts by the peers. When one such peerless master suddenly appeared in this Devilmander¡¯s tomb, everyone¡¯s heart sank, no expected that such a terrifying master woulde here. Now, did the other people have a chance left? ¡°Mo Xue, you traitor, you actually dared appear in front of me!¡± Shang Guan looked coldly at Mo Xue and said in a loud voice. ¡°You seemed to have grown up and look more and more like your elder brother.¡± Mo Xue said and it seemed like looking down on Shang Guan, but from his facial expression, he appeared somewhat immersed into the past. ¡°Damn you, you better not y hypocrite in front of me. My brother dead in your hands, not to mention you two used to be best friends. At the time of his death, he said that I must not chase after revenge!¡± Shang Guan said angrily. ¡°Your brother said right, if you go on like this, you will die.¡± Mo Xue spoke as the corners of his mouths curled up, revealing a strange smile. And the next instant, with a ¡®whiz¡¯, Mo Xue¡¯s figure, which seemed to have worn the space itself, instantly, arrived in front of Shang Guan and he said, ¡°It is not something you can intervene!¡± ¡°Go to hell!¡± Shang Guan was the type of guy who would easily swallow the bait, he immediately punched straight toward Mo Xue and the released Quanjin began to crumble the space. This was the attack power of a master of truth ninth stage, potent enough to shock everyone. (NT: Quanjin = Fist strength) However, Mo Xue gently dodged Shang Guan¡¯s fist attack, and in the same instant, he directly pounded his palm on Shang Guan¡¯s chest. Immediately, Shang Guan spouted a mouthful of blood and his body was sent flying far away. Mo Xue was simply tyrannical and invincible, even if Shang Guan possessed the strength of truth ninth stage but it was very difficult for him topete with Mo Xue. As this breathtaking scene unfolded in front of Ye Xiwen, he finally understood that after achieving the strength of half-step legendary realm, one could obtain a part of the valiance of legendary masters. In fact, after breaking through from truth ninth stage to half-step legendary realm, there was an increase in strength by almost thousands times or even more. However, although the strength of Shang Guan was not veryrge inparison, it was not weak either, because he was not very far from stepping into half-step legendary realm. The gap between truth eighth stage and truth ninth stage was not very big inparison to the gap between truth ninth stage and half-step legendary realm. (NT: Truth ninth stage
