"Gasp! He drove Ye Gucheng back with one move—this..."

"Strong! Too strong!"

"Could a seven-year-old child really unleash such a palm strike?"

Huang Yaoshi, Mei Chaofeng, and the others all stared wide-eyed, shock washing over them again and again!

They would never have believed, even if beaten to death, that a seven-year-old child could erupt with such palm force and defeat Ye Gucheng with a single strike. How was that possible?!

Ye Gucheng, too, was dumbfounded, unable to believe it.

He had actually been defeated by a single palm strike from a seven-year-old child?

Just one move, and he had suffered such a crushing defeat?

Ye Gucheng wondered if he was hallucinating.

When their palms had collided just now, he had been sent flying into the wall in an instant, smashing straight through it and coughing up blood wildly.

He was stunned.

Could this be Huang Yaoshi's strongest disciple?

He hurriedly got to his feet and gritted his teeth. "Not bad palm technique. Huang Yaoshi, this one disciple of yours is worth more than that whole pack of trash from before! If you'd brought out such a genius sooner, wouldn't all this have been over already?!"

Huang Yaoshi stood frozen where he was, thinking, This...

He did not know this person at all!

Where had this little child come from? He actually...

Ye Gucheng suddenly attacked, thrusting out with his sword. Its blade shrieked through the air, swift and sharp as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the sword had reached Chen Xiaofan's face.

For all Ye Gucheng's arrogance, he truly had some skill. Chen Xiaofan could directly feel the sharpness of that sword.

"Watch out!" Lu Chengfeng's face turned deathly pale.

Chen Xiaofan remained unhurried. Drawing his sword, he raised his hand and swept it forward.

Invincible Jade Flute Xingyi Sword!

Crackle!

The two swords crashed together fiercely. Ye Gucheng's expression changed on the spot as the sword in his hand was shattered outright. The opposing blade swept across his abdomen, slicing open his clothes!

"Gasp!" Ye Gucheng hurriedly retreated in a wild burst, opening up a safe distance!

"Pant! Pant!"

From far away, Ye Gucheng panted heavily, his eyelids twitching violently.

If he had not dodged quickly just now, his belly would probably already have been cut open!

Huang Yaoshi and all his disciples stood as stiff as wooden chickens.

"The highest level of Jade Flute Swordplay!" Huang Yaoshi exclaimed in shock!

The power of that sword strike... it had definitely reached full mastery!

"What? Master, what did you say? He cultivated it to the highest level?" Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng cried out in horror at the same time!

"No!" Huang Yaoshi shook his head. "He has even surpassed the blue from which he came! It seems he created an entirely new swordplay from my swordplay. Its power is not inferior to my Jade Flute Swordplay in the slightest—indeed, it greatly surpasses it! Heavens, unbelievable!"

"Gasp!" Every disciple's heart leaped, unable to believe it!

As a grandmaster of his generation, Huang Yaoshi's discernment was extraordinary. That swordplay was immensely powerful, improved from his own swordplay, its power layered upon layer. Now that it had erupted in full, its might was astonishing!

Before the disciples could say anything, Ye Gucheng had already steadied himself. Taking a deep breath, he brought out an enormous crossbow!

The crossbow was black as ink, forged from Mysterious Iron, and an ancient, weathered aura silently emanated from it!

An arrowhead was already nocked upon its string, ready to unleash a terrifying blow at any moment!

"You defeated me twice in a row? Sorry, but my archery is first-rate. Especially with this crossbow enhancing it, my force rises enormously. Words are useless—you can experience it for yourself!" Ye Gucheng roared in a low voice.

As his words fell, the crossbow shot out with a whoosh, heading straight for Chen Xiaofan's head!

The arrow was heavy and overwhelmingly forceful, fierce beyond measure. It shot the air into shrieking bursts as the airflow exploded!

"This... this arrow..."

Huang Yaoshi's expression changed drastically. He sensed an astonishing momentum from that arrow. Though he was not afraid of it, he felt that it was absolutely not something a seven-year-old child could withstand!

If anything happened to this little child, it would be his fault for causing it!

Just as he was about to intervene, the child remained as calm as ever, seemingly taking something out in his hand.

Chen Xiaofan had long been prepared. A small stone had appeared in his hand at some unknown moment. Secretly activating the perfected Finger Flicking Heaven-Shaking Violet Lightning Divine Skill, he flicked it with a whoosh. The pebble shot forth like a bolt of violet lightning!

Crack!

The stone struck the arrow, sending sparks scattering in every direction.

The arrow was smashed to pieces on the spot, while the pebble did not lose any of its force and continued blasting forward!

Before everyone's utterly shocked, completely disbelieving eyes, the pebble slammed viciously into Ye Gucheng's crossbow!

Ye Gucheng only felt an incomparably dense, powerful, and crushing force strike him. In an instant, his wrist went numb, and the crossbow was knocked straight from his hand onto the ground, shattering with a screeching crash!

"Gasp!"

His eyelids twitched violently as he hurriedly retreated again!

Only after retreating dozens of steps in one breath did he suck in a cold breath, his expression changing.

Panting repeatedly, he said, "Terrifying! Terrifying!"

Huang Yaoshi and all the disciples present also sucked in cold breaths, their faces turning pale!

"Master, what finger technique was that? Did you teach it to him?"

"Master, that finger strike was too powerful! It defeated Ye Gucheng like rotten wood—how have I never seen it before?"

"Master, that finger strike was..."

Huang Yaoshi took a deep breath. "Stop talking for now!"

His heart was filled with shock. Just who was this child? His talent was so astonishingly extraordinary!

He clearly had not taught him, yet the child knew everything—and had even surpassed the blue from which it came in every one of them!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Huang Yaoshi's mind.

This child must have possessed exceptional comprehension and secretly learned them while watching from the side!

At this thought, he took a deep breath!

With such comprehension, this child's future accomplishments would be limitless!

All the disciples nearby were shaken to the point of prostrating themselves in admiration!

Palm techniques, sword techniques, finger-flicking divine skills—every one of them had surpassed the blue from which it came, and all possessed immense power. Could Master truly have secretly trained a Junior Disciple?

Just now, they had watched Chen Xiaofan make his move. Every strike had been incomparably powerful, crushing everything like rotten wood!

He far surpassed them, powerful to the very extreme!

The corners of Chen Xiaofan's mouth lifted slightly.

As expected of martial arts gained layer by layer from Huang Yaoshi—their power was actually so astonishing once unleashed, far surpassing the martial arts he had obtained before!

This was only his first time using them, yet their might was already so formidable!

And that was not all. Because of this battle, his proficiency had risen greatly!

Moreover, he had gained enormously from the fight just now!

You watched Ye Gucheng's Flying Dragon Palm and grasped its essence. Through contemplation, you extracted its core and comprehended Divine Dragon Sweeping Palm! You watched Ye Gucheng's White Cloud Swordplay and grasped its essence. Through contemplation, you extracted its core and comprehended White Cloud Sweeping Sword! You watched Ye Gucheng's Roaming Dragon Archery and grasped its essence. Through contemplation, you extracted its core and comprehended One Arrow Shoots Heavenly Mountain!

"I refuse to accept this! I haven't lost yet—take my Flying Sword Beyond the Heavens!"

Ye Gucheng gritted his teeth and roared. He abruptly removed another sword hanging at his waist and slashed out!

The first sword he had used was an ordinary iron sword. This one, however, was wrapped layer upon layer in white cloth strips and would never normally be used!

As Ye Gucheng swung his arm, the white cloth strips around the sword instantly exploded with a crackling burst. Then Ye Gucheng himself soared into the air, a sword light like a white silken ribbon seeming to merge with him as one, thrusting straight toward Chen Xiaofan!

He had been obsessed with the sword his entire life. This was the strongest move he had comprehended, nearly reaching the realm of sword and man becoming one. He refused to believe he could not handle this seven-year-old brat!

At nineteen, Ye Gucheng still did not know Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens.

With just a little more comprehension of Flying Sword Beyond the Heavens, it could advance into Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens!
