"No, impossible!"
His ultimate killing blow, shattered in an instant.
Disbelief was written all over Ye Chengzong's face.
Staring at the utterly calm and composed Yang Xiao, he roared, "Yang Xiao, you're cheating! I don't believe you're this strong!"
"Cheating? Then try and take a punch from !"
With that, Yang Xiao threw a punch straight at Ye Chengzong.
As the punch flew, the very air trembled. Engulfed by its overwhelming force, Ye Chengzong felt as if a great mountain were crushing the life out of him.
It rendered him unable to move a muscle.
He tried to struggle, but he couldn't muster an ounce of strength.
His face contorted into a savage grimace.
In his heart, a sliver of despair began to surface.
'So I'm really no match for this piece of trash!'
'No, I can't accept this!'
Ye Chengzong roared inwardly.
He wanted to defy the heavens.
But it was useless. He remained suppressed, completely unable to move.
Defy the heavens? He couldn't even budge.
"This is bad! Chengzong is about to lose!"
Up on the high platform, the confident expression on Ye Lingtian's face vanished. He had been certain Ye Chengzong would secure the Junior Sect Leader Position and bring glory to their branch of the Ye Family, but watching the scene unfold, his face drained of color.
He could see the imnse power behind Yang Xiao's punch.
If that punch landed, his son would suffer more than just defeat.
"You little bastard, stop this instant!"
Therefore, without a mont's hesitation, Ye Lingtian shot into the air, instantly appearing between Yang Xiao and Ye Chengzong.
The aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster erupted from him.
BANG!
The impact struck Yang Xiao, forcing him to retreat.
"Ye the Dog, you dare interfere in a duel to the death!"
Yang Xiao was furious.
'This guy... he actually dared to interfere in my duel to the death with Ye Chengzong in front of everyone. He's utterly shaless.'
"You little bastard! You're the reason Chenghao is dead. Today, you won't touch a single hair on my Chengzong!"
Ye Lingtian's face was also a mask of rage.
His branch of the Ye Family had a weak line of succession. He had been incredibly proud to have finally fathered two sons.
But then his second son, Ye Chenghao, had mysteriously died at Yang Xiao's hands half a year ago.
And now, his eldest son—his great hope for winning the Junior Sect Leader Position and restoring the Ye Family's honor—had almost fallen to him as well.
The flas of rage in Ye Lingtian's heart burned ever higher.
However, he had already broken the rules by saving Ye Chengzong in front of everyone. Ye Lingtian hesitated to go a step further and commit murder.
As he hesitated, Ye Chengzong's face twisted savagely. "Father, kill him! Kill him, and the Junior Sect Leader Position will still be mine!"
The mont he heard those four words—Junior Sect Leader Position—
Ye Lingtian's expression changed.
'That's right. If I don't kill Yang Xiao, the Junior Sect Leader Position will slip through our Ye Family's fingers.'
'No, I absolutely can't let that happen!'
"You little bastard! If you must bla soone, bla yourself for crossing our Ye Family and standing in my son's way. Now, die!"
Ye Lingtian thrust a palm viciously toward Yang Xiao.
As his palm shot forward, Innate Gang Qi surged from it,
taking on a tangible form.
He was clearly using his full power.
If that Innate Gang Qi hit him, even with Yang Xiao's Physical Innate Body, he would likely be smashed into a bloody pulp.
After all, compared to Innate True Qi, Gang Qi was condensed to the point of being tangible. The difference between the two was like that of a soap bubble and a steel plate.
Their power was on completely different levels.
"Ye Lingtian, how dare you!"
At that mont, down below the stage, Yang Zhentian could finally sit still no longer.
An incredible aura erupted from his body.
As his terrifying Martial Arts Grandmaster aura flared, even the Elders seated on the high platform felt their hearts jolt.
They had long known that Yang Zhentian had broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster level.
Many even knew he could injure opponents of a higher realm.
While he was still at the Peak of the Innate Realm, he had taken down Ye Zongling, a 1st Layer Martial Arts Grandmaster.
But they were Martial Arts Grandmasters themselves.
So they hadn't paid much mind to Yang Zhentian, who had only just entered the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
But now...
This aura...
It wasn't just them—the majority of whom were rely First Layer Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Even Ruan Tianyang, who was at the Peak of the Second Realm...
Even the Sect Leader, Lin Nantian, a Third Layer Martial Arts Grandmaster...
...all felt a tremor of shock.
They all had the sa chilling thought: they were no match for him.
This was especially true for Lin Nantian.
He hadn't intervened when Ye Lingtian took the stage. In fact, he had secretly hoped Ye Lingtian would eliminate Yang Xiao for him.
That way, his Direct Disciple, Lux Wentian, could ascend to the Junior Sect Leader Position without lifting a finger.
This would allow his faction to control the Purple Sun Sect for decades to co.
But now that Yang Zhentian had suddenly revealed such power...
...he knew things were about to get ugly.
If Ye Lingtian truly managed to kill Yang Xiao...
...Yang Zhentian would undoubtedly go berserk.
When that happened, Ye Lingtian would die.
Even many of the Elders present would die.
For the Purple Sun Sect, already ranked among the lowest of the Nine Sects, this would be an absolute disaster.
'Do I have to ask the Supre Elder to intervene?'
Lin Nantian wondered.
But back on the fighting stage, the situation was changing.
"Father, just watch. I don't need you to deal with this old dog."
Yang Xiao's calm voice drifted down from the stage.
Then, he threw a punch.
This punch was even more terrifying than the last.
A faint, sharp whistle cut through the air as the fist slamd into Ye Lingtian's Innate Gang Qi. With a loud CRACK...
Ye Lingtian's Innate Gang Qi shattered.
The tangible Innate Gang Qi—a force that could slice through steel as if it were paper—had shattered like brittle glass under the might of Yang Xiao's Fist Force.
Everyone present was left completely stupefied by the sight.
But Yang Xiao gave no quarter.
He threw another punch,
blasting forward with raw power.
This ti, it struck Ye Lingtian's body.
It was too fast.
And it was thrown with killing intent.
This punch was the absolute peak of Yang Xiao's Physical Strength.
BANG!
Caught completely off guard, Ye Lingtian was literally blown apart by Yang Xiao's punch.
A mighty Martial Arts Grandmaster of his generation...
...had fallen.
Killed at the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy.
And this boy's aura was rely that of soone who had just entered the Innate Realm.
This left the entire leadership of the Purple Sun Sect utterly speechless.
As for the Inner Sect Disciples—be they ordinary disciples or Core Disciples—they all wore expressions of utter stupor.
Before, they might have been jealous or envious of Yang Xiao.
But now...
...the Yang Xiao who had obliterated a Martial Arts Grandmaster with a single punch...
...could only inspire awe.
And fear.
Just look at Ye Chengzong, who had been clamoring to kill Yang Xiao just monts before.
Now, his face was a picture of horror.
His legs gave out from under him.
And he collapsed onto the stage in a heap.
His eyes were filled with nothing but terror.
And even a hint of regret.
A plea for rcy.
Weakness.
The only thing missing was hatred.
Because Ye Chengzong knew that if he showed even a hint of hatred...
...Yang Xiao would obliterate him with a single punch, without a mont's hesitation.
Leaving nothing behind to bury.
