Chapter 643: Surprisingly Unharmed

Although there is only one stage difference between the peak of the Late Heaven and the middle stage of the Late Heaven, the gap between them is like heaven and earth. A master at the peak of the Late Heaven could face three opponents at the middle stage and still not be at a disadvantage…

Simply from the aura emanating from Nuotiangong, everyone could sense that this guy was definitely an expert. No wonder he was a young man nurtured by the Nine Palace Hall, an existence standing above all, and his charisma was indeed different from others’.

The two moved so fast that even Gong Luotian couldn’t keep track of their movements. He finally understood why he hadn’t even had the chance to react before being thrown down—it was purely a matter of strength. Any struggle would be in vain.

“Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms…”

Xiao Yufan’s voice suddenly rang out. Nuotiangong was stunned, and even those below were confused. Was this guy filming a martial arts drama or something?

“If I really had that palm technique, you’d have been knocked down already. Don’t think Guardians of the Divine Temple have an extra eye. Today, I’ll show you that anyone daring to block my path will pay the price!”

The mocking voice came again. Nuotiangong’s eyes sharpened. If looks could kill, Xiao Yufan would have died hundreds of times already. As a young powerhouse of the Nine Palace Hall, many people showed him utmost respect, and few dared to mock him.

Moreover, there were countless eyes watching them below. Nuotiangong was furious…

“Very well, since you’re so eager to die, I shall oblige. Let’s see if Heaven’s Alliance can protect you!”

Nuotiangong’s expression stiffened, his lips twitching violently. He had never liked Xiao Yufan from the beginning, and now his anger boiled over. If he didn’t vent it out, he would surely go mad.

“You’re talking as if you’re so mighty. If you weren’t from the Nine Palace Hall, do you think I’d even give you face?”

Xiao Yufan was really annoyed by this guy’s smug expression. Just fight already—why so many words? Besides, this guy was clearly here seeking revenge for Nangong Qianliu, and he never held back before.

Wow!

The crowd gasped. Who dares to defy the Divine Temple’s authority? Perhaps only this man could do it. Moreover, Heaven’s Alliance was powerful enough not to fear the Nine Palace Hall.

It’s true that the Nine Palace Hall ranked among the top eight within the Divine Temple, but Heaven’s Alliance could rival even the top five of the Divine Temple. Was there any reason for Heaven’s Alliance to fear the Nine Palace Hall? The answer was clearly no.

Still, Xiao Yufan’s words made many secretly thrilled. Some members of the Divine Temple had been too arrogant, and many had suffered at their hands. Now, finally, their hearts felt balanced. So what if they were members of the Divine Temple? What was there to brag about?

Nuotiangong could imagine the whispers and gossip behind his back. Even though he had decent self-restraint, he was barely holding back the urge to curse. His hands never stopped moving—only by defeating Xiao Yufan could he wash away this humiliation.

Still as a tree, swift as the wind. Nuotiangong was also a master at the peak of the Late Heaven, and when his aura erupted, it could only be described as terrifying.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan’s ghost-like footwork instantly reached its peak. His figure became nothing but blurred afterimages, making Nuotiangong’s expression even more serious.

Originally, he thought Xiao Yufan could barely last a dozen exchanges against him, but he had underestimated him. Nuotiangong had already been at the peak of the Late Heaven for a long time, yet he had never felt such intense pressure from anyone before.

Indeed, not only did Xiao Yufan’s speed increase, but the “Dragon-Taming True Art” also began to surge wildly. This mysterious martial art he had obtained from the jade pendant was finally about to reveal its true power!

Xiao Yufan himself wasn’t sure whether the Dragon-Taming True Art could even be called martial arts. But only he knew its true might. At this moment, even a supreme expert at the Early Heaven stage wouldn’t be a match for him.

“Annihilation Heaven Seal!” Nuotiangong’s cold voice slowly spread. In the astonished gazes of everyone present, they vaguely saw a glimmer of cold light from Nuotiangong’s palm. It was clear this “Heaven Seal” belonged to the category of ancient martial arts.

“Annihilate this! Get lost!”

Just when everyone thought Xiao Yufan would be at a disadvantage, a thunderous voice slowly echoed. Everyone’s eyes twitched involuntarily. This man really didn’t intend to leave any face for the Nine Palace Hall at all.

Feeling Xiao Yufan’s aura and hearing those words, Nuotiangong nearly fainted. The saying goes, “When a person becomes despicable enough, he becomes invincible.” Was this guy here just to provoke him?

However, the Annihilation Heaven Seal was no ordinary martial technique—it was ancient martial arts, and its power was formidable. Nuotiangong had spent a long time learning only the basics, but he believed it was more than enough to deal with Xiao Yufan!

But soon, he realized the Heaven Seal, which should have struck Xiao Yufan directly, only hit an afterimage. Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan’s fist in front of him grew larger and larger.

A blatant slap in the face—despite using the ancient martial arts of the Nine Palace Hall, Nuotiangong still gained no advantage…

Of course, no one thought Xiao Yufan had dodged by sheer luck. Come on, try dodging something like that yourself! This was ancient martial arts unleashed by a master at the peak of the Late Heaven stage. Its power was no joke.

“He’s actually fine…”

Gong Hao and Gong Luotian’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Was there any justice left in the world? If it had been them, they would have been seriously injured already. The might of ancient martial arts was far more profound than it appeared.

“Heh heh, didn’t expect him to be so strong. But why is he such a playboy?”

Yuxuan murmured to herself, catching Wang Wei’s ear. He could only shake his head helplessly, praying that his quirky sister wouldn’t set her sights on the young master.

He knew it too well—every woman by the young master’s side was exceptional. Even though his sister had an angelic face, she might not catch the young master’s attention…

On the other side, the four girls—Huangpu Xian’er and the others—were watching their man closely, as if their hearts were tied to him. Their beautiful eyes shimmered with unusual light. They always believed this man would never disappoint them, just as he had never done from the very beginning.

When Nuotiangong displayed his overwhelming strength, the four girls’ hearts tightened. But seeing Xiao Yufan unharmed, they relaxed slightly. At this moment, however, Nuotiangong was truly beginning to feel threatened…
