"Since I have some free time and arrived early, you are not late either; the competition has just begun. Pay close attention, as it will greatly benefit your cultivation," Ye Feng said with a slight smile, gazing at Training Ground No. 1.
"Isn't that person Li Chengce, the one who wants to harm Blue Shadow? Hmph, now he has met his match; I hope he gets defeated soon," Zhang Yihang remarked upon seeing Li Chengce on Training Ground No. 1, immediately recalling the events of yesterday's competition, feeling a surge of anger that made him speak out.
Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. Not to mention the Li Family behind Li Chengce, even his cultivation level might not be enough for Yuan Yun to defeat him.
Li Chengce wielded a rather unusual weapon—a pitch-black long knife that reflected a faint light under the sunlight, giving it an extremely eerie and terrifying appearance. Yuan Yun, on the other hand, had an ordinary long sword, which made facing Li Chengce somewhat challenging, especially given the difference in their cultivation levels.
The two sides exchanged blows for several rounds, with Yuan Yun mostly on the defensive while Li Chengce took the offensive.
"Falling Shadow Frenzy Blade!" Perhaps realizing that maintaining the stalemate was not beneficial for him in the long run, Li Chengce shouted loudly, raising his long knife high. The blade emitted three buzzing sounds.
With a loud bang, a massive hole was blasted into the ground!
Dust flew everywhere, and many Inner Sect Disciples with lower cultivation levels were engulfed in dust, causing them to retreat hastily to avoid being affected further.
As this Martial Technique was unleashed, many knowledgeable spectators immediately recognized it as a Yellow-Grade Superior Combat Technique. It seemed that Li Chengce had been training diligently to master this technique from the Shadow Blade Technique to such an extent. However, it also reflected how much the Li Family valued him by allowing him to learn their unique skills.
It is worth noting that not all disciples of the Li Family have the opportunity to practice such Martial Techniques. Although the Shadow Blade Technique is only of Yellow Rank Superior quality, when fully executed, it can rival low-grade Xuan-level Martial Techniques.
While everyone was mesmerized by this powerful strike, many practitioners from the Origin Martial Realm were focused on another matter.
Where was Yuan Yun?
Even Ye Feng furrowed his brows at this moment; Yuan Yun had vanished without a trace, yet his aura remained. In other words, Yuan Yun had not been defeated by Li Chengce's strike and had mysteriously evaded it.
In an instant, several sizzling sounds echoed in the air, and then Yuan Yun's figure appeared strangely behind Li Chengce. With both hands together in a fist strike, he delivered a powerful blow to Li Chengce's back.
Everything happened in a flash, and no one expected such a scene to unfold.
Li Chengce's body seemed unable to withstand the impact and was instantly thrown out. With a thud, he crashed heavily onto the ground.
With a splatter, Li Chengce spat out a mouthful of thick blood, and after a few painful groans, he completely lost consciousness.
"You bastard!" Seeing this scene, Li Xingqi's eyes turned bloodshot as he stood up with a whoosh, fists clenched, and pointed at Yuan Yun while shouting loudly.
"Within the Sect, killing each other is forbidden. You actually directly crippled Li Chengce's cultivation. Good, good! Old Man has not seen anyone so bold as to commit murder in front of me for such a long time. You, Yuan Yun, today I will take your life to show all the disciples of Dragon Tiger Sect what happens when one does not abide by the rules."
It was no wonder that Li Xingqi was in such a rage; anyone else would likely have lost control as well. This punch had completely destroyed Li Chengce's cultivation. In fact, under normal circumstances, Li Chengce should not have ended up like this after such a full-force strike. The problem lay in his use of Falling Shadow Frenzy Blade. It should be noted that the Shadow Blade Technique consumes an enormous amount of stamina and Vital Energy when fully unleashed. One would not easily use it without being certain of a kill. Moreover, Tian Yi had just had his arm broken by Ye Feng, making the situation even worse.
"Li Hall Master, why must you be so angry? Yuan Yun's actions should be within your tolerance. And it is worth mentioning that I believe Yuan Yun's actions were largely influenced by Li Chengce's hints!" Just as Li Xingqi was about to lash out, White Tiger Hall's Hall Master Jiang Shiji stood up and said slowly, nodding in satisfaction at Yuan Yun.
It was clear to everyone that this was instigated by Jiang Family members, and Jiang Shiji stepping forward indicated he was ready to confront Li Xingqi.
Strangely enough, Li Xingqi and Jiang Shiji had always seemed to be in a cooperative relationship. Their common enemy should have been Bai Qiufeng, the leader of Dragon Tiger Sect. After all, both had long sought to replace Bai Family. Even if they were secretly at odds, they still maintained an outward appearance of cordiality. Why were they acting this way today?
"Jiang Shiji, what nonsense are you talking? Does Li Chengce have the right to cripple Yuan Yun's cultivation? Is it you who is insane or is it Li Chengce? No matter what you say today, I will not let this go."
Jiang Shiji smiled and stroked his beard as he stood up and said loudly: "I heard something yesterday. With his cultivation at Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level, Li Chengce actually tried to cripple an Outer Sect Disciple at Martial Realm. If it weren't for an Outer Sect Disciple named Ye Feng intervening, that girl called Blue Shadow would likely be crippled by now. So if we consider this situation, isn't it true that Li Chengce attempted to do something similar first? What Yuan Yun did now is simply what Li Chengce failed to do back then. If you claim that Li Chengce had no intention of crippling someone at that time, then I won't say anything else; however you deal with Yuan Yun is none of my business."
"You!" Li Xingqi was momentarily speechless.
Indeed, with so many witnesses present at the time—Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level facing off against a Martial Realm disciple—it was obvious what he intended to do. If Li Xingqi denied it in front of so many people, then no one would speak up for him.
Bai Qiufeng sat back with a smile on his face; he was enjoying watching the two old foxes fight it out. Let them both suffer in the end; that way there would be no trouble left for him.
This matter seemed to have been brushed aside with just a few words, mainly because Bai Qiufeng did not express any opinion, and Li Xingqi's side also lacked initiative, so it ended without resolution.
"Hmph, Li Chengce has his day now. This is good; Yuan Yun has taken revenge for Blue Shadow. Brother Ye, I think Yuan Yun is quite impressive. Should we befriend him?" Zhang Yihang said, feeling an increased fondness for Yuan Yun after he used Li Chengce's tactics against him, pondering whether he should thank him properly.
Ye Feng shook his head and softly replied, "No need. Trust me, it's best not to provoke Yuan Yun; he's a bit strange."
"Strange?" Zhang Yihang scratched his head, seemingly confused.
"I can't quite explain what's strange about him; just avoid provoking him."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yihang had nothing more to say and nodded in agreement.
Ye Feng actually sensed that something was off about Yuan Yun. At least with Yuan Yun's current cultivation level, the movement technique he displayed shouldn't have been so unclear to him. Especially at the moment when the wild blade fell, Yuan Yun had completely vanished. He vaguely felt that what this guy executed in that instant was not merely a movement technique.
"Kid, this guy cannot be left alive!"
At that moment, Xuan Lao's voice echoed again.
Ye Feng was startled and quickly asked, "Xuan Lao, what’s wrong with Yuan Yun?"
"Kid, let me tell you, this guy is not an ordinary person; he belongs to the Ethereal Clan!"
"Ethereal Clan?" Ye Feng expressed his confusion; it was the first time he had heard of this term.
"That's right." Xuan Lao seemed to be contemplating something and took a long time before continuing, "The Ethereal Clan is not much different from humans, but one key difference is that they are born with the ability to manipulate space. Generally speaking, members of the Ethereal Clan do not appear casually; they have their specific habitats. In my time, there was once a powerful figure from the Ethereal Clan who killed over a hundred people with similar cultivation levels as mine simply because he could skillfully use spatial laws. We had no way to deal with him. In the end, it took a hidden super expert from a continent to slay him. Very few people know this secret. The reason I want you to kill him is to prevent future troubles. If he has a good nature, that’s fine; if not, it will be a significant threat in the future."
Ye Feng pondered for a long time after hearing this and said, "I have no reason to just kill him like that. However, I find it strange that why didn't Li Xingqi and those from Gangwu Realm notice this?"
"That's because they have no idea about the Ethereal Clan; that's how long they've lived without knowing these things."
Ye Feng felt somewhat relieved. He estimated that although Li Xingqi and Jiang Shiji shared the same doubts as him, they likely interpreted it as Yuan Yun having cultivated a certain movement technique that allowed him to disappear in an instant. After all, the continent is vast, and there are countless martial arts; having such a movement technique might not be surprising.
Soon, the second and third Training Grounds also determined their winners, and the second round of matches was about to begin.
This time, Ye Feng was called to compete in the first Training Ground, and his opponent was an Outer Sect Disciple at the third level of the Origin Martial Realm.
The gap in cultivation between this person and Ye Feng was too significant. Although Ye Feng tried his best to conceal his cultivation level, just a slight display of the Raging Thunder Step caused his opponent to be paralyzed for about three to four seconds. During that time, he could only watch as Ye Feng kicked him out of the ring.
Ye Feng's performance astonished many Inner Sect Disciples. To be able to so easily defeat someone at the third level of the Origin Martial Realm suggested that his own cultivation had reached at least the fifth or sixth level of the Origin Martial Realm.
Ning Ruoxue seemed surprised by Ye Feng's performance as well but quickly regained her composure, lowering her head in thought.
This ice-cold goddess had not spoken a word from beginning to end, yet even with her frigid demeanor, she still captivated countless men around her.
Who wouldn't like a goddess-level figure?
