Ye Feifei wasn't surprised that Qin Li had managed to dodge her palm strike. She hadn't intended to injure him anyway. If she had truly wanted to hurt him, she would have used her sword—one strike would have been enough to leave him severely wounded and teach him that so people are not to be provoked.
Thick beads of sweat appeared on Qin Li's face. In that instant, he was beginning to understand why Qin Xiaowan had told the two of them to turn back.
'Ye Feifei is already this powerful—her Power Realm has actually broken through to the One Vein Eighth Layer. Then Ye Tian might have broken through as well. Faced with the strength of the One Vein Eighth Layer, even if my brother and I attacked together, we wouldn't stand a chance of winning!'
Qin Li wasn't the only one thinking this; the sa thought occurred to Qin Lin and Qin Xiaowan. Ye Feifei's power had increased far too quickly—so fast it was almost unbelievable.
'Ye Feifei's strike was clearly a show of force ant to intimidate the three of us. If we truly anger Ye Tian, we might actually die here.'
Only now did Qin Lin finally understand why Qin Xiaowan had said what she did. 'She must have known Ye Tian's Power Realm all along. I was too impulsive, thinking his victory last ti was just a fluke. But now it's clear that wasn't the case at all.'
Now, Qin Lin felt trapped. 'If I fight Ye Tian, I'll definitely lose. Then I'll lose face again, and so will the Qin Family. But if I don't fight, I'll lose face just the sa. I really regret not listening to Qin Xiaowan.'
"Qin Lin, didn't you want to fight ? Today, I'll grant you your wish. Let's hope your father can still save you this ti!" Ye Tian said, noticing the troubled look that flashed across Qin Lin's face.
'Ye Feifei's strike served its purpose as a warning. Qin Lin must be terrified of now, but he'll probably force himself to fight for the sake of his pride.'
"Ye Tian, don't think I'm afraid of you! Today, I will wash away my previous humiliation and show you that I, Qin Lin, am not to be trifled with!" Qin Lin shouted, his goal being to let the surrounding crowd know that he wasn't afraid.
"Brother, a wise man knows when to yield. Why are you trying to act so tough?" Qin Xiaowan said to Qin Lin. "You should know full well what Ye Tian's strength is like. If you insist on fighting him, then let take your place!"
"This is none of your business! You really think that highly of him?" Qin Lin said as a silvery-white longsword appeared in his hand. "Today, I'll show you how I'm going to defeat him!"
Ye Tian glanced at Qin Lin and chuckled. "If you have any last words, you should say them now. You won't get another chance!" His tone was as cold as winter ice, sending a chill through the surrounding crowd.
"You're too arrogant, Ye Tian! If anyone should be saying their last words, it's you! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Qin Lin roared. 'This bastard is trying to back into a corner!'
"Since you don't know how to cherish an opportunity, so be it. Today, I'll make the Qin Family's genius disappear from this world!" Ye Tian snarled, his anger surging in an instant, making one's blood run cold.
Qin Xiaowan's expression turned grim. She couldn't bear the thought of her brother being killed by Ye Tian. "Ye Tian, can you spare my brother's life? If you can spare him, I'm willing to promise you anything!"
Qin Xiaowan's voice wasn't loud, but quite a few people heard her. They all stared at her in shock. An offer like that was sothing no man could easily refuse.
If he demanded she beco his woman, she would have to abide by the terms of her promise. They all envied Ye Tian for having such a golden opportunity.
Many of the young n who admired Qin Xiaowan glared at Ye Tian, their faces filled with rage. If he dared to do anything to the goddess of their hearts, they would fight him to the death—though whether they had the ability to do so was another matter.
Ye Tian said nothing, instead glancing at Ye Feifei. After all, Qin Xiaowan was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that. If he casually accepted her offer, it would imply he had designs on her, which would be unfair to Ye Feifei.
Ye Feifei smiled faintly. "Brother Tian, this is a good thing! I'd actually like it if you accepted her request. Maybe I'll even gain a sister in the future!"
Hearing Ye Feifei's words, a blush instantly spread across Qin Xiaowan's beautiful face. "Ye Tian, are you going to accept or not? I won't force you if you don't. But if anything happens to my brother today, I'll make you regret it!"
Ye Tian hated being threatened more than anything. 'But Qin Xiaowan's situation is special. She also has a Dragon Pearl in her body, one that's inextricably linked to my own.' He was caught in a difficult position.
After a mont, he said, "I won't accept your offer. However, I might just spare your brother's life. Stay out of this."
Qin Lin's face was twisted with rage. He glared at Qin Xiaowan and snarled, "Do you have any idea what you were just saying? Begging a piece of trash like Ye Tian? You've completely disgraced the Qin Family! After I take care of this arrogant bastard, I'll settle the score with you."
Qin Xiaowan started to explain, but she swallowed her words. Since she had Ye Tian's guarantee, she no longer needed to worry about her two reckless brothers.
"Ye Tian, die!" Qin Lin's fury intensified. Any fear he had previously felt toward Ye Tian was now completely consud by rage. The only thought in his mind was to kill Ye Tian with a single strike.
Qin Lin was fast, much faster than the last ti they'd fought. No wonder he had the confidence to speak so boldly. However, while he had improved, Ye Tian had improved as well—and by a much greater margin.
Qin Lin's sword instantly blood into a series of blurs as he rapidly attacked Ye Tian. A powerful fluctuation of Energy rippled through the air, and the very space around them began to tremble.
Ye Feifei moved to intercept the blow, but Ye Tian stopped her. "Feifei, let take this one. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think I'm joking."
As Ye Tian finished speaking, the Black Glaze Sword materialized in his hand with a re thought. Many people were baffled by its sudden appearance, but they were thrilled to finally see the two of them co to blows.
The Dragon Spiritual Power within his body began to circulate rapidly. Ye Tian had used the War Dragon Heavenly Arm when he pierced the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, so he couldn't use it again now. Even so, his right arm could still increase his Attack Power by thirty percent.
'With my current strength at the One Vein Eighth Layer, plus the unique nature of my Dragon Spiritual Power, I'm confident I could fight a One Vein Ninth Layer Martial Artist without much trouble. And Qin Lin is only at the One Vein Seventh Layer. I could probably kill him with a single sword strike.'
However, thinking of Qin Xiaowan's pleading gaze and the Dragon Pearl within her, Ye Tian only used eighty percent of his strength for this strike.
He instantly executed the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and powerful Sword Qi flooded the air. In the blink of an eye, their attacks collided with a trendous crash.
The powerful recoil forced Ye Tian back several steps before he steadied himself. Qin Lin, however, was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string.
Just then, a slender figure shot out from the crowd, flawlessly catching Qin Lin as he fell...
