Just as Xiao Yufan had imagined, Nu Tiangong below was nearly furious enough to spit blood. Not only had he himself been thrown down by this guy, but the ancient martial arts of Jiugong Palace had also been learned by him. Nu Tiangong felt an overwhelming urge to kill Xiao Yufan immediately.
Of course, what made Nu Tiangong want to bang his head against a wall the most was that the Yantian Seal Xiao Yufan displayed was far more refined than his own. In other words, Xiao Yufan’s comprehension of the Yantian Seal in less than an hour had far surpassed Nu Tiangong’s understanding developed over more than half a month.
As Xiao Yufan had imagined, Nuo Tiangong below the stage was almost spitting blood. Not only had he been thrown down by this guy, but the ancient martial arts of the Nine Palaces Hall had also been stolen by him. He felt an overwhelming urge to kill Xiao Yufan immediately.
Of course, what made Nuo Tiangong want to bang his head against the wall the most was that the Annihilation Seal Xiao Yufan executed was far more refined than his own. This meant that Xiao Yufan’s comprehension of the Annihilation Seal in less than an hour far surpassed Nuo Tiangong’s understanding over half a month.
Even though Nuo Tiangong hated Xiao Yufan intensely at this moment, he had to admit that this guy’s talent was terrifyingly strong!
Boom…
In an instant, the Annihilation Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm collided, erupting with a terrifying shockwave. If the arena hadn’t been spacious enough, the impact of these two powerful ancient martial arts colliding would have been even more devastating!
In the second after the palms clashed, Xiao Yufan’s right foot stomped hard on the marble floor, causing it to crack instantly. Simultaneously, his right palm pushed forward again.
The second collision between the Sumeru Creation Palm and the Annihilation Seal!
With the second shockwave, Xiao Yufan’s internal energy surged even stronger, while Ye Kong, unable to withstand such a terrifying impact, retracted his palm and swiftly retreated.
“What a powerful Sumeru Creation Palm! Its might is truly overwhelming!”
A glint of excitement appeared in Xiao Yufan’s eyes because the Sumeru Creation Palm was gradually taking shape in his mind. The Dragon Taming True Art really had such a monstrous function. His inner ecstasy had uncontrollably reached its peak.
“What a pity, it still didn’t determine a winner…”
“I thought this clash would decide the outcome, but both of them chose to retreat at the same time. This contest is truly evenly matched!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, discussions erupted. Some people seemed regretful, but most were excited. Witnessing the pinnacle of the younger generation’s battle was an inspiration for them.
“Evenly matched?”
Naturally, Xiao Yufan also heard these discussions, and a proud smile curled at the corner of his lips. If it were merely evenly matched, then his earlier words would have been somewhat boastful.
Therefore, Ye Kong had to go down. There was no reason why. If a reason was needed, it was that Xiao Yufan wanted to prove to the Green Spirit Hall that he was worthy of Cheng Ying!
As his words fell, Xiao Yufan’s aura changed once again. Ye Kong, still unsettled, quickly furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected that even after executing the Sumeru Creation Palm, he could only match Xiao Yufan.
This guy was really strong. That was his only thought!
But Ye Kong couldn’t just admit defeat. He represented the entire Green Spirit Hall. Even if it wasn’t for the top ten spots, he couldn’t tarnish the reputation of the Green Spirit Hall…
Their dazzling movements caused their figures to continuously intertwine. Every time Ye Kong executed the Sumeru Creation Palm, he felt his internal energy being drained, but each time, Xiao Yufan effortlessly neutralized it.
Noticing Ye Kong’s slightly ashen expression, Xiao Yufan raised a faint smile. Even though he had also suffered some damage in the process, compared to Ye Kong, his losses were minimal.
“Let’s end this early. Although I admit you’re strong, you’re only so-so.”
With a soft murmur, Xiao Yufan’s figure disappeared from the spot again. Ye Kong only felt a tightness in a certain part of his body. He didn’t know where Xiao Yufan would appear next. Under this bizarre movement technique, he had already suffered more than once.
The sharp sound of wind was like an explosion. Ye Kong’s keen perception wasn’t for nothing. The moment Xiao Yufan came to a halt, Ye Kong swiftly turned his body, facing the side of Xiao Yufan’s smiling face.
“Smile all you want, damn it! Don’t you know I’m in a bad mood right now?”
Ye Kong thought bitterly, almost using all his strength to clash with Xiao Yufan’s incoming palm. But the next moment, he suddenly felt his attack vanish as if it had sunk into the sea!
Xiao Yufan’s body actually retreated a few steps under his full-force attack!
Was this guy feigning weakness? Or had he also run out of energy after such a long battle?
Involuntarily retreating two steps, Ye Kong wasn’t stupid. He felt something was off, but before he could react, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. The aura was very familiar—it was the ancient martial art of the Nine Palaces Hall, the Annihilation Seal!
Xiao Yufan had actually used himself as bait to attract Ye Kong’s attention, while the real move had been prepared earlier…
Bang!
Without any surprise, the Annihilation Seal landed squarely on Ye Kong. At such a short distance, he couldn’t even dodge. Even though he had entered a defensive stance a step earlier, he only felt a surge of blood and energy!
This was the Annihilation Seal, an ancient martial art. Even if a peak-level expert executed it, it could severely injure a post-natal realm expert, let alone when it was executed by Xiao Yufan!
Feeling the immense force and momentum crashing onto his body, Ye Kong had the urge to curse. This guy was too cunning. He had already figured out how to deal with him and even feigned weakness!
Under the impact, Ye Kong’s legs, which were supporting his body, went limp. Then, to the astonishment of everyone, he fell straight down!
Another one had been thrown out!
The people below were dumbfounded, especially some of the younger generation experts from the Guardian Temples. They felt a sense of unreality!
After all, every young person from the Guardian Temples had their own pride. But Nuo Tiangong from the Nine Palaces Hall and Ye Kong from the Green Spirit Hall—weren’t they both top talents of the younger generation? Yet they had been so easily thrown down?
Ye Kong’s face was slightly ashen. Suppressing the surging blood and energy, he gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t someone who couldn’t admit defeat, but now he really wanted to climb back up and have a fair fight with Xiao Yufan!
He felt that he had been tricked by Xiao Yufan. If it weren’t for this guy’s ability to create momentum, how could he have been deceived and unexpectedly taken down by an Annihilation Seal? It was a blatant slap in the face.
“Not convinced? Come up and bite me then. Since you’ve already been thrown out, you don’t have the right to stand up here again. People from the Guardian Temples are just so-so!”
Xiao Yufan naturally noticed the changing expressions on Ye Kong’s face, but he didn’t care at all about the fire in his eyes. Even if Ye Kong really climbed back up, Xiao Yufan could make him lie down a second time…
Boom…
In an instant, the Yantian Seal collided with the Xumi Zaohua Palm, unleashing a terrifying shockwave. If the arena hadn’t been spacious enough, the impact from the clash of these two powerful ancient martial arts would have caused even greater devastation!
The very next second after the palm and seal met, Xiao Yufan suddenly stomped his right foot onto the marble floor, causing it to crack instantly. At the same time, his right palm surged forward once again.
The second clash between the Xumi Zaohua Palm and the Yantian Seal!
The second shockwave hit, and Xiao Yufan’s internal energy surged slightly higher. Ye Kong, unable to withstand such a terrifying impact, instinctively retracted his palm and rapidly retreated.
Just as Xiao Yufan had imagined, Nuo Tian’gong below the stage was almost spitting blood. Not only had he been thrown down by this guy, but the ancient martial arts of the Nine Palaces had also been stolen by him. He felt an overwhelming urge to kill Xiao Yufan immediately.
Of course, what made Nuo Tian’gong want to bang his head against the wall the most was that the “Annihilation Seal” Xiao Yufan executed was far more refined than his own. In other words, Xiao Yufan’s comprehension of the “Annihilation Seal” in less than an hour far surpassed Nuo Tian’gong’s understanding after more than half a month.
Even though Nuo Tian’gong hated Xiao Yufan intensely at this moment, he had to admit that this guy’s talent was terrifyingly strong—strong enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
Boom…
In an instant, the “Annihilation Seal” and the “Creation Palm of Sumeru” collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave. If the arena hadn’t been spacious enough, the impact of these two powerful ancient martial arts colliding would have been even more devastating.
The moment after the palm winds clashed, Xiao Yufan’s right foot stomped heavily on the marble floor, causing it to crack instantly. Simultaneously, his right palm pushed forward again.
The second collision between the “Creation Palm of Sumeru” and the “Annihilation Seal”!
With the second shockwave, Xiao Yufan’s internal energy surged even stronger, while Ye Kong, unable to withstand such a terrifying impact, retracted his palm and swiftly retreated.
“What a formidable ‘Creation Palm of Sumeru’! Its power is truly overwhelming!”
A glint of excitement appeared in Xiao Yufan’s eyes because the “Creation Palm of Sumeru” was gradually taking shape in his mind. The “Dragon Taming True Art” really had such an absurdly powerful function. His inner ecstasy had reached its peak uncontrollably.
“What a pity, they still haven’t determined a winner…”
“I thought this clash would decide the outcome, but both of them chose to retreat at the same time. This battle is truly evenly matched!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, discussions erupted. Some people seemed regretful, but most were excited. Witnessing the pinnacle of the younger generation’s clash was an inspiration to them.
“Evenly matched?”
Naturally, Xiao Yufan also heard these discussions, and a proud smile curled at the corner of his mouth. If it were merely an even match, then his earlier words would have been somewhat boastful.
Therefore, Ye Kong had to be the one lying down. There was no reason why—if a reason was needed, it was that Xiao Yufan wanted to prove to the Green Spirit Palace that he was worthy of Cheng Ying!
As his words fell, Xiao Yufan’s aura changed once again. Ye Kong, still unsettled, quickly furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected that even after unleashing the “Creation Palm of Sumeru,” he could only match Xiao Yufan evenly.
This guy is really strong—that was his only thought.
But Ye Kong couldn’t just admit defeat. He represented the entire Green Spirit Palace. Even if it wasn’t for the top ten spots, he couldn’t tarnish the reputation of the Green Spirit Palace…

With a soft murmur, Xiao Yufan’s figure vanished once again. Ye Kong only felt a tightness in a certain part of his body. He had no idea where Xiao Yufan would appear next. Under this bizarre movement technique, he had already been caught off guard more than once.
The sharp sound of wind roared like an explosion. Ye Kong’s keen perception wasn’t for nothing. The moment Xiao Yufan’s figure solidified, Ye Kong swiftly turned his body, only to be met with a smiling profile.
“Smiling at me, huh? Damn it, don’t you know I’m in a bad mood right now?”
Ye Kong thought bitterly, using almost all his strength to clash with Xiao Yufan’s incoming palm. But the next moment, he suddenly felt his attack vanish as if it had sunk into the sea!
Xiao Yufan’s body actually retreated a few steps under his full-force attack!

Bang!
Without any surprise, the “Annihilation Seal” landed squarely on Ye Kong. At such a close distance, he couldn’t even dodge. Even though he had entered a defensive stance a step earlier, he only felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.
This was the “Annihilation Seal,” a technique within the realm of ancient martial arts. Even a peak-level expert could severely injure a post-natal realm practitioner with it, let alone when it was executed by Xiao Yufan!
Feeling the overwhelming force and momentum crashing onto his body, Ye Kong had the urge to curse. This guy was too cunning—he had already figured out how to deal with him and even feigned weakness!
Under the impact, Ye Kong’s legs, which were supporting his body, went limp. Then, to the astonishment of everyone, he fell straight down!
Another one had been thrown out!
The people below were stunned, especially the young elites from the Guardian Temples. They felt an unreal sensation.
Every young person from the Guardian Temples carried their own pride, but both Nuo Tian’gong from the Nine Palaces and Ye Kong from the Green Spirit Palace were among the best of the younger generation. Yet, they had been so easily thrown down?
Ye Kong’s face was slightly ashen. Suppressing the surging blood in his chest, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t someone who couldn’t admit defeat, but now he really wanted to climb back up and have a fair fight with Xiao Yufan!
He believed he had been tricked by Xiao Yufan. If it weren’t for this guy’s ability to create momentum, how could he have been caught off guard and taken down by a sudden “Annihilation Seal”? It was a blatant slap in the face.
“Not convinced? Come up and bite me then. Since you’ve already been thrown out, you don’t have the right to stand back up. The people of the Guardian Temples are nothing special.”
Xiao Yufan naturally noticed the changing expression on Ye Kong’s face, but he didn’t care about the fire in his eyes. Even if Ye Kong did climb back up, Xiao Yufan could make him lie down a second time…
As Xiao Yufan had imagined, Nuo Tiangong below the stage was on the verge of spitting blood. Not only had he been thrown down by this guy, but the ancient martial arts of the Nine Palaces Hall had also been stolen by him. He felt an overwhelming urge to kill Xiao Yufan immediately.
Of course, what made Nuo Tiangong want to bang his head against the wall the most was that Xiao Yufan’s execution of the Annihilation Seal was far more refined than his own.

In an instant, the Annihilation Seal and the Xumi Creation Palm collided, erupting with a terrifying shockwave. If the venue hadn’t been spacious enough, the impact of the collision between these two powerful ancient martial arts would have been even more devastating.
In the second after the palms clashed, Xiao Yufan’s right foot stomped on the marble floor, causing it to crack instantly. Simultaneously, his right palm pushed forward again.
The second collision between the Xumi Creation Palm and the Annihilation Seal!
With the second shockwave, Xiao Yufan’s internal energy surged even more, while Ye Kong, unable to withstand such a terrifying impact, retracted his palm and swiftly retreated.
“What a formidable Xumi Creation Palm! Its power is truly overwhelming!”
A glint of excitement appeared in Xiao Yufan’s eyes because the Xumi Creation Palm was slowly taking shape in his mind. The Dragon Taming True Art indeed had such a monstrous function. His ecstasy had reached its peak, uncontrollable.
“What a pity, it still didn’t determine a winner…”
“I thought this clash would decide the outcome, but both of them chose to retreat at the same time. This contest is truly evenly matched!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, discussions erupted. Some people seemed regretful, but most were excited. Witnessing the pinnacle of the younger generation’s battle was an inspiration for them.
“Evenly matched?”
Naturally, Xiao Yufan also heard the discussions. A proud smile curved his lips. If it was merely evenly matched, then his earlier words might have been a bit too arrogant.
Therefore, Ye Kong had to go down. There was no reason why. If a reason was needed, it was that Xiao Yufan wanted to prove to the Qingling Hall that he was worthy of Cheng Ying!
As his words fell, Xiao Yufan’s aura changed once again. Ye Kong, still unsettled, quickly furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected that even after unleashing the Xumi Creation Palm, he could only match Xiao Yufan.
This guy was really strong. That was his only thought!

Noticing Ye Kong’s slightly ashen expression, Xiao Yufan raised a faint smile. Even though he had also suffered some damage in the process, compared to Ye Kong, his losses were minimal.
“Let’s end this early. Although I admit you’re strong, you’re just that.”
With a soft murmur, Xiao Yufan’s figure disappeared from the spot again. Ye Kong only felt a tightness in a part of his body. He didn’t know where Xiao Yufan would appear next. Under this bizarre movement technique, he had already suffered more than once.
The sharp sound of wind was like an explosion. Ye Kong’s keen perception wasn’t for nothing. The moment Xiao Yufan came to a halt, Ye Kong swiftly turned his body around, facing the side of Xiao Yufan’s smiling face.
“Stop smiling, damn it! Don’t you know I’m in a bad mood now?”
Ye Kong thought bitterly, almost using all his strength to clash with Xiao Yufan’s incoming palm. But the next moment, he suddenly felt his attack vanish as if it had sunk into the sea!
Xiao Yufan’s body actually retreated a few steps under his full-force attack!

This was the Annihilation Seal, a technique within the realm of ancient martial arts. Even a peak-level expert could severely injure a post-natal realm master with it, let alone when it was executed by Xiao Yufan!
Feeling the overwhelming force and momentum crashing onto his body, Ye Kong had the urge to curse. This guy was too cunning. He had already figured out how to deal with him and even feigned weakness!
Under the impact, Ye Kong’s legs, which were supporting his body, went weak. Then, to the stunned gazes of the crowd, he fell straight down!
Another one had been thrown out!
The people below were dumbfounded, especially some of the young experts from the Guardian Halls. It felt unreal!
Every young person who came out of the Guardian Halls had their own pride. But Nuo Tiangong from the Nine Palaces Hall and Ye Kong from the Qingling Hall—weren’t they both top talents of the younger generation? Yet they had been so easily thrown down?
Ye Kong’s face was slightly ashen. Suppressing the surging blood and energy, he gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t someone who couldn’t admit defeat, but now he really wanted to climb back up and have a fair fight with Xiao Yufan!
He felt that he had been tricked by Xiao Yufan. If it weren’t for this guy’s ability to create momentum, how could he have been caught off guard and taken down by an Annihilation Seal? It was a blatant slap in the face.
“Not convinced? Come up and bite me then. Since you’ve already been thrown out, you don’t have the right to stand back up. The people of the Guardian Halls are just that!”
Xiao Yufan naturally noticed the changing expressions on Ye Kong’s face, but he didn’t care about the fire in his eyes. Could he really climb back up? Even if he did, Xiao Yufan could make him lie down a second time…
“What a pity… Still no result from that clash…”
“Originally thought that this confrontation would determine the winner, but both chose to retreat. This duel really is a match between equals!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, murmurs of discussion began to ripple through the crowd. Some people expressed disappointment, but most were clearly thrilled. To witness a battle between two young powerhouses was itself an inspiration to many.
“A match between equals, huh?”
Of course, Xiao Yufan had also overheard the comments. A faint, arrogant curve lifted the corner of his lips. If it really was just a draw, then hadn’t his earlier words been a bit too boastful?
Therefore, Ye Kong had to be sent down—there was no other way around it. If a reason was needed, it was simply that Xiao Yufan wanted to prove to Qingling Palace that he was worthy of Cheng Ying!
As his words settled, Xiao Yufan’s aura shifted once again. Ye Kong, still shaken, quickly furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected that even after unleashing the Xumi Zaohua Palm, he could still only match Xiao Yufan evenly.
This guy was truly strong—that was his only thought.
But Ye Kong couldn’t just concede defeat. He represented the entire Qingling Palace. Even if it wasn’t for the top ten spots, he couldn’t allow the reputation of Qingling Palace to be tarnished…
Their elegant footwork caused the two figures to constantly cross paths. Every time Ye Kong used the Xumi Zaohua Palm, he felt his internal energy drain a little more. Yet each time, Xiao Yufan easily neutralized it.
Noticing Ye Kong’s increasingly grim expression, Xiao Yufan smiled lightly. Even during this process, Xiao Yufan had sustained some damage himself, but compared to Ye Kong, his losses were minimal.
“Let’s end this quickly. Although I admit you’re strong, you’re nothing special!”
Muttering softly, Xiao Yufan’s figure vanished from his spot once more. Ye Kong felt a sudden tension in his body, unsure where Xiao Yufan would appear next. He had already suffered multiple setbacks under this eerie footwork.
A sharp, explosive gust of wind rang out. Ye Kong’s keen senses weren’t just for show. At the very moment Xiao Yufan reappeared, Ye Kong instantly turned his body around, only to face the smiling side profile of his opponent.
“Smiling at your sister! Don’t you know I’m already in a terrible mood?!”
Ye Kong thought bitterly, nearly pouring all his strength into clashing palms with Xiao Yufan’s incoming strike. But the next moment, he suddenly felt his attack vanish like a stone sinking into the sea—completely ineffective!
Xiao Yufan’s body actually staggered backward a few steps under Ye Kong’s full-force strike!
Was this guy pretending to be weak? Or had he simply run out of energy after all this time?
Instinctively stepping back twice, Ye Kong wasn’t stupid. Something felt off, but before he could react, a sudden chill surged from behind him. The aura was extremely familiar—it was the Jiugong Palace’s Yantian Seal!
Xiao Yufan had used himself as bait, drawing Ye Kong’s attention, while the real trick had already been set up earlier…
Peng!
Without the slightest surprise, the Yantian Seal slammed directly into Ye Kong’s back. At such a short distance, he couldn’t even dodge. Even though he had entered a defensive stance a moment earlier, he still felt a violent surge of internal turmoil.
Just as Xiao Yufan had imagined, Nuo Tiangang below the stage was almost spitting blood. Not only had he been thrown down by this guy, but the ancient martial arts of the Nine Palaces had also been stolen by him. He felt an overwhelming urge to kill Xiao Yufan on the spot.
Of course, what made Nuo Tiangang want to bang his head against the wall the most was that the Annihilation Seal Xiao Yufan executed was far more refined than his own. In other words, Xiao Yufan’s comprehension of the Annihilation Seal in less than an hour had far surpassed Nuo Tiangang’s understanding after more than half a month.
Even though Nuo Tiangang hated Xiao Yufan to the core at this moment, he had to admit that this guy’s talent was terrifyingly strong—strong enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
Boom!
In an instant, the Annihilation Seal and the Sumeru Creation Palm collided, erupting with a terrifying shockwave. If the venue hadn’t been spacious enough, the impact of these two powerful ancient martial arts clashing would have been even more devastating.
The moment after the palm winds collided, Xiao Yufan’s right foot stomped heavily on the floor, causing the marble tiles to crack instantly. At the same time, his right palm pushed forward once again.
The second collision between the Sumeru Creation Palm and the Annihilation Seal!
With the second shockwave, Xiao Yufan’s internal energy surged even stronger. Ye Kong, on the other hand, was unable to withstand such a terrifying impact. His palm retracted, and his body swiftly retreated backward.
“What a powerful Sumeru Creation Palm! Its might is truly domineering!”
A glint of excitement appeared in Xiao Yufan’s eyes because the Sumeru Creation Palm was gradually taking shape in his mind. The Dragon Taming True Art truly had such an absurdly powerful function. His inner ecstasy had uncontrollably reached its peak.
“What a pity, the match still hasn’t been decided…”
“I thought this clash would determine the winner, but both of them chose to retreat at the same time. This duel is truly evenly matched!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, discussions erupted from the crowd. Some seemed regretful, but most were exhilarated. Witnessing the pinnacle of the younger generation’s battle was an inspiration to them.
“Evenly matched?”
Naturally, Xiao Yufan heard the discussions, and a proud smile curled at the corner of his mouth. If it were merely an even match, then his earlier words would have been somewhat boastful.
Therefore, Ye Kong had to be the one lying on the ground. There was no reason why—if a reason was needed, it was that Xiao Yufan wanted to prove to the Qingling Palace that he was worthy of Cheng Ying!
As his words fell, Xiao Yufan’s aura underwent another transformation. Ye Kong, still unsettled, quickly furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected that even after executing the Sumeru Creation Palm, he could only match Xiao Yufan blow for blow.
This guy is really strong—that was his only thought.
But Ye Kong couldn’t just admit defeat. He represented the entire Qingling Palace. Even if it wasn’t for the top ten spots, he couldn’t tarnish the reputation of Qingling Palace…
Their dazzling movements caused their figures to continuously intertwine. Every time Ye Kong executed the Sumeru Creation Palm, he felt his internal energy being drained bit by bit, but each time, Xiao Yufan effortlessly neutralized it.
Noticing Ye Kong’s slightly ashen expression, Xiao Yufan raised a faint smile. Even though he had suffered some damage in the process, compared to Ye Kong, his losses were minimal.
“Let’s end this earlier. Although I admit you’re strong, you’re only this much.”
With a soft murmur, Xiao Yufan’s figure vanished from the spot once again. Ye Kong only felt a tightness in a certain part of his body. He had no idea where Xiao Yufan would appear next. Under this bizarre movement technique, he had already been caught off guard more than once.
The sharp sound of wind was like an explosion. Ye Kong’s keen senses weren’t for show. The moment Xiao Yufan’s figure solidified, he swiftly turned his body around, only to be met with a smiling profile.
“Smile all you want, damn it! Don’t you know I’m in a bad mood right now?”
Ye Kong thought bitterly, almost using all his strength to clash with Xiao Yufan’s incoming palm. But in the next moment, he suddenly felt his attack sink like a stone into the sea—it had vanished!
Xiao Yufan’s body actually retreated a few steps under his full-force attack!
Was this guy feigning weakness? Or had he also run out of energy after such a long battle?
Involuntarily taking two steps back, Ye Kong wasn’t stupid. He felt something was off, but before he could react, a chill ran down his spine. The aura was all too familiar—it was the ancient martial art of the Nine Palaces, the Annihilation Seal!
Xiao Yufan had used himself as bait to distract Ye Kong. The real finishing move had been prepared long ago…
Bang!
Without any surprise, the Annihilation Seal landed squarely on Ye Kong. At such a close distance, he couldn’t even dodge. Even though he had entered a defensive stance a step earlier, he still felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.
This was the Annihilation Seal, a technique within the realm of ancient martial arts. Even a peak-level expert could severely injure a post-natal realm master with it, let alone when it was executed by Xiao Yufan!
Feeling the overwhelming force and momentum crashing into him, Ye Kong had the urge to curse. This guy was too cunning. He had already figured out how to deal with him and even feigned weakness!
Under the impact, Ye Kong’s legs, which were supporting his body, went weak. Then, to the stunned gazes of the crowd, he plummeted straight down!
Another one had been thrown out!
The spectators were dumbfounded, especially the young elites from the Guardian Temples. They all felt a sense of unreality.
After all, every young talent from the Guardian Temples carried their own pride. Yet, Nuo Tiangang from the Nine Palaces and Ye Kong from Qingling Palace—both top-tier figures of the younger generation—had been so easily tossed aside?
Ye Kong’s face was slightly ashen. Suppressing the surging blood in his chest, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t someone who couldn’t accept defeat, but now he truly wanted to climb back up and have a fair fight with Xiao Yufan!
He believed he had been tricked by Xiao Yufan. If it weren’t for this guy’s ability to create momentum, how could he have fallen for it and been caught off guard by the Annihilation Seal? It was a blatant slap in the face.
“Not convinced? Come up and bite me then. Since you’ve already been thrown out, you’ve lost the right to stand on this stage again. The people of the Guardian Temples are nothing special!”
Xiao Yufan naturally noticed the changing expressions on Ye Kong’s face, but he didn’t care about the fire in his eyes. Even if Ye Kong did climb back up, Xiao Yufan could make him lie down a second time…
Feeling the overwhelming force and pressure crashing onto his body, Ye Kong had an urge to curse. This guy was too cunning—he had planned this from the beginning, even feigning weakness!
Under the impact, Ye Kong’s legs trembled, barely holding him upright. Then, to the stunned gazes of the crowd, he plummeted straight down!
Another one thrown out!
The people below were stunned, especially the younger generation from the guardian temples, who felt as if they were dreaming!
Each young guardian temple representative carried their own pride. Yet both Nu Tiangong from Jiugong Palace and Ye Kong from Qingling Palace—weren’t they both top-tier prodigies? And yet they had been thrown down so easily?
Ye Kong’s face turned dark with fury. Suppressing the surging internal energy, he lightly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t the type to refuse defeat, but right now, he really wanted to rush back up and fight Xiao Yufan again in a fair match!
He believed he had been tricked by Xiao Yufan. If it weren’t for the guy’s dramatic setup, how could he have fallen for such a surprise attack and been struck down by the Yantian Seal like that? It was a blatant slap to his pride.
“Not satisfied? Then come bite me if you can! Now that you’ve been thrown out, you no longer have the right to step back onto this stage. The so-called guardian temple experts are nothing special after all!”
Xiao Yufan naturally noticed Ye Kong’s changing expressions, but he paid no heed to the burning glare Ye Kong shot at him. Was this guy really going to climb back up? Even if he did, Xiao Yufan could always send him crashing down again…
