"So, Chengzong's strength has truly reached the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm, and he's even at the Peak of Innate Realm Seventh Layer."
Seeing Ye Chengzong's terrifying aura on the arena, Lin Nantian smiled faintly.
"This is all thanks to the Sect Leader's skillful teachings. It is only because of you that Chengzong could achieve this."
Ye Lingtian said politely.
'But inwardly, he was smug.'
Although their Ye Family was descended from the founding patriarch, Ye Ziyang, no one from their family had held the position of Sect Leader for over a hundred years.
Whether it was him or his father, Ye Zongling, neither could be considered outstanding, even though they had both beco True Disciples.
They couldn't compare to the previous Sect Leader and the current one.
Now, they finally had soone who could compete for the Junior Sect Leader Position.
Ye Lingtian was naturally delighted.
Lin Nantian smiled slightly and said nothing.
'But inwardly, he was contemptuous.'
Over a hundred years ago, the grand master of his lineage had seized the Sect Leader's seat from the Ye Family. For four generations since, right down to him, it had always been soone from his lineage who served as Sect Leader.
'Ye Chengzong is decent, but it's impossible for him to seize the position of Junior Sect Leader.'
Otherwise, Lin Nantian would not be sitting here so calmly, nor would he be in the mood to praise Ye Chengzong.
'However, while Ye Chengzong is no match for Wentian, this arrogant little brat Yang Xiao is definitely no match for him!'
Lin Nantian naturally disliked this arrogant brat, Yang Xiao, who had disrespected him ti and ti again and shown him no regard.
The only reason he hadn't punished him was for the sake of the bigger picture.
He didn't want the people from dicine Peak to think he was targeting them.
Especially Elder Yao.
As one of the two Supre Elders of the Sect, his influence was imnse.
Forcing Yang Xiao to participate in the sect tournant had already displeased dicine Peak, and Lin Nantian didn't want them to have any misunderstandings over such minor things.
However, if Yang Xiao was seeking death himself, that was another matter entirely.
On this point, not even Lin Nantian could interfere.
Even Ruan Tianyang, who was surprised by and thought highly of Yang Xiao, was powerless to help.
After all, this was what Yang Xiao himself had requested.
He was the one who agreed to the deathmatch.
Who could say anything?
As for those jealous of Yang Xiao, they were all just waiting for the drama to unfold.
This was especially true for Yang Hou, Yang Songg, and those five Innate Realm Core Disciples. Their breakthroughs into the Innate Realm were, to so extent, all thanks to the Ye Family.
That was why they had put so much effort into trying to kill Yang Xiao.
And yet...
Yang Xiao had crippled every single one of them.
It was absolutely impossible for them not to be filled with resentnt.
The only reason they hadn't spoken out like Yang Hou was purely because their injuries were too severe for them to speak.
But now, they had all recovered sowhat.
They stared at Yang Xiao with imnse hatred.
Hoping that in the next mont, Ye Chengzong would kill Yang Xiao.
To avenge them.
'Die! I, Li Tianyuan, was so talented! I should have beco a True Disciple, a Sect Elder! But that bastard crippled . He has to die!'
This was the thought on all their minds.
Their eyes were filled with hatred.
Unfortunately for them, Yang Xiao couldn't care less about their hatred.
He looked at Ye Chengzong standing on the arena, his eyes full of amusent.
"Your grandfather, Ye Zongling, shalessly chased all the way to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range to kill . Today, I'll kill you. I wonder if he'll go crazy?"
Yang Xiao's voice could only be heard by Ye Chengzong.
"Hmph, you dare slander my grandfather? You're courting death!"
Ye Chengzong, however, was incapable of such composure. With a low roar, he charged directly at Yang Xiao.
He seed terrified that Yang Xiao would expose the matter to everyone.
"Look, Ye Chengzong is making his move. With his strength, how many of his moves do you think Yang Xiao can withstand?"
"How many moves? I'd say one at most."
The crowd below the arena murmured amongst themselves.
Just then, Ye Chengzong reached Yang Xiao's side, his body radiating a piercingly sharp aura. His Golden Attribute Innate True Qi condensed into a physical form, stabbing toward Yang Xiao like a thousand real longswords.
With a flash, Yang Xiao dodged.
"He actually dodged it?"
The crowd below was stunned.
Even those on the high platform frowned.
Many had noticed that Yang Xiao's speed was unusually fast.
'Is he still not using his True Qi? No True Qi, no Martial Skill, and he's still that fast? Just what level has his physical body reached?'
Lin Nantian began to speculate.
Despite his dislike for Yang Xiao,
the physical strength Yang Xiao was now displaying was simply too frightening.
Even he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
He was even alard.
The others, however, lacked his sharp eye.
Except for Ruan Tianyang, who could vaguely discern a few things.
The others had no idea that Yang Xiao had yet to use a single shred of his internal True Qi.
Ye Chengzong, for example.
"So you can dodge. Well, you won't be so lucky next ti."
Ye Chengzong said smugly.
Imdiately after, the entire arena filled with boundless Sharp Gold Qi, which condensed into a series of terrifying sword-like forms.
It seed that no matter where Yang Xiao moved, he would be run through.
"This is my Ye Family's ancestral Saint Grade Martial Arts, the Thousand Leaping Sword Technique. Although it's still a form of Martial Arts, it already possesses certain characteristics of a Divine Power Secret Skill. Yang Xiao, you're dead for sure."
Ye Chengzong laughed with smug satisfaction.
"It's actually the Thousand Leaping Sword Technique! To think that Ye Chengzong has even learned a Saint Grade Martial Arts!"
"That's right. This is the Ye Family's most powerful Saint Grade Martial Arts. It's said to be even more formidable than the Purple Sun Celestial Blade, the Sect's own signature Saint Grade Martial Arts."
On the high platform, so of the Elders couldn't help but comnt.
In their eyes, Yang Xiao was a dead man, just as Ye Chengzong had declared.
Even Lin Nantian's eyes narrowed slightly.
If he hadn't considered Ye Chengzong much of a threat before,
now, having successfully cultivated the Thousand Leaping Sword Technique, Lin Nantian felt he was becoming one.
'Wentian still hasn't even mastered the basics of the Purple Sun Celestial Blade, yet this Ye Chengzong has already reached Minor Achievent with the Thousand Leaping Sword Technique. It looks like he'll be a true rival for Wentian.'
Lin Nantian's mind was racing.
At this mont, he actually found himself hoping that Yang Xiao could give him a surprise.
That he could injure Ye Chengzong.
If that happened, his own Direct Disciple, Lux Wentian, would have a much more certain grasp on the position of Junior Sect Leader.
But, was it possible?
Lin Nantian wasn't so sure.
In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone present felt that Yang Xiao was a dead man.
Except for Yang Zhentian.
He could see that his Xiao'Er was completely composed.
This, in turn, helped Yang Zhentian remain calm as well.
"Go die! Thousand Blades and Ten Thousand Kills!"
On the arena, however, Ye Chengzong didn't share that sentint.
He was certain that this one attack would be enough to kill Yang Xiao.
And yet...
BOOM!
One punch.
Just a single punch.
Without even using the True Qi in his body.
Yang Xiao threw a punch.
The surrounding space seed to dim.
As if a storm was brewing.
Then, the countless blades ford from Sharp Gold completely disintegrated.
They dissolved into motes of golden light and vanished.
The Thousand Leaping Sword Technique was broken!
Ye Chengzong, utterly defeated!
