Overwhelming Destruction, Second Update

The moment Ye Xiwen heard that, he was startled. They were going to murder him for his treasure!

Sure enough, before the words had even faded, a sharp whistle rang out. The violet-robed youth stomped down and burst forward, both hands transforming into eagle claws. He practiced the basic martial art, Eagle Claw Skill. With his late Houtian Fifth Stage strength, he could even pierce bluestone slabs with his fingers. It was this Eagle Claw Skill that had made him famous among the Zhang Family's Inner Disciples.

The violet-robed youth moved like a great eagle, his hands like talons as they viciously clawed down. The air trembled and boomed, while his face was twisted in a ferocious grin. He could practically see Ye Xiwen being severely wounded by a single claw.

It was as though a great eagle had swooped in to kill in an instant, its true qi condensed into the shape of an eagle.

Ye Xiwen struck at once. A crackling burst of thunder erupted as one hand shot out, tearing straight through the violet-robed youth's protective true qi and clamping around his throat.

The difference in strength between them was simply too great. In a single instant, Ye Xiwen had broken through his defense.

The violet-robed youth was seized by the throat with one hand. Ye Xiwen's large hand was like an iron hoop, locking tightly around his neck. He could not muster any strength, nor could he draw breath. If this continued, Ye Xiwen would crush him to death alive.

This was Ye Xiwen's first time fighting someone, but Five Tigers Strength combined with the eighth resonance of Thunderclap Hand had utterly overwhelmed the violet-robed youth through sheer power. This was the gap of absolute strength.

Young Master Zhang and the blue-robed youth both wore expressions of utter disbelief. This was simply like something out of myth and legend.

"Stop! Let him go!" the blue-robed youth shouted.

"Then take him back!" Beneath his robes, Ye Xiwen's muscles tensed to their limit as he directly hurled the violet-robed youth away.

Bang! In the blink of an eye, the violet-robed youth flew before the blue-robed youth. The blue-robed youth raised both hands to catch him, only for a series of cracking sounds to ring out as both his arms were broken by the enormous force.

Ye Xiwen's strength had now surpassed Five Tigers Strength, exceeding two thousand five hundred jin. The blue-robed youth was merely at the Houtian Fifth Stage, with no more than the strength of three tigers. How could he possibly catch that? His arms were smashed apart in one blow.

Crack! Amid the chilling sound of breaking bones, the violet-robed youth's back slammed viciously into the blue-robed youth's arms. His spine snapped, broken bones pierced his internal organs, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting, his fate unknown.

It sounded like a long sequence of events, but it had all happened within only a few breaths.

Young Master Zhang was instantly enraged. In such a short time, one of his subordinates had fallen unconscious while the other had both arms broken and was howling in agony. To him, it was like receiving a vicious slap across the face.

"You truly don't know life from death!" Young Master Zhang roared. True qi spread from his body, far stronger than that of the violet-robed and blue-robed youths. His Houtian Sixth Stage cultivation was astonishing; he was already qualified to become a Core Disciple. "I'll break your limbs, cripple your martial arts, then skin you and pull out your tendons!"

Young Master Zhang threw a punch. The fierce force of his fist made the air boil, his true qi seeming ready to pierce the heavens. His fist force twisted into a single stream, like a Qi Dragon blasting toward Ye Xiwen.

"Thunderous Gale!" Ye Xiwen shouted. Thunderclap Hand erupted, accompanied by rolling thunder as it shattered Young Master Zhang's Qi Dragon in one stroke and slammed fiercely into Yang Yi's fist.

Bang! A sound like clashing gold and iron rang out. Young Master Zhang's hands broke at once, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew backward. His eyes were filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? Eight resonances? You actually cultivated it to the eighth resonance!"

Young Master Zhang had never imagined that Ye Xiwen could cultivate Thunderclap Hand to perfection and unleash the eighth resonance. Even many Core Disciples likely could not achieve that. Thunderclap Hand was no profound secret manual; the Zhang Family had a copy as well. Yet he had never seen a disciple of this age cultivate it to eight resonances.

What was even more terrifying was that Ye Xiwen also possessed the strength of five tigers. It was not the scattered strength of someone born with divine power, but force twisted into five unified streams. That was the true reason his hands had been broken in a single strike.

"It's useless even if you know now!" Ye Xiwen sneered as he chased after him. Thunderclap Hand was driven to its utmost limit as he struck a palm down at Young Master Zhang, who was still flying through the air.

Bang! Young Master Zhang's chest was blasted apart, his breastbone shattered as flesh and blood flew everywhere. Even his heart was directly blown apart by Ye Xiwen. He was dead beyond all doubt.

In the span of moments, the situation had reversed. Just now, the three of them had surrounded Ye Xiwen to kill him; now, one was dead, one unconscious, and one severely injured.

"Impossible... you... you actually killed the young master!" the blue-robed youth wailed.

Expressionless, Ye Xiwen slowly walked toward Tang Kuan.

"Sir, we were wrong. Please spare us. We were only acting under the young master's orders. We will keep our mouths shut and never breathe a word of this!" Fear finally appeared on the blue-robed youth's face, though a flash of venomous resentment flickered beneath it. Ye Xiwen caught it.

"Do you believe that yourself? We had neither grievance nor enmity, yet you joined forces to surround and kill me. At the slightest disagreement, you wanted to kill me and seize my Crimson Blood Ginseng. Did you ever consider sparing me then?" How could Ye Xiwen readily believe the blue-robed youth's claims? That flash of resentment made him understand even more clearly that the man was surely plotting future revenge.

Seeing that Ye Xiwen was determined to kill them, the blue-robed youth immediately went mad. "You'll die a miserable death! Experts of our Zhang Family are nearby. If we don't return, they'll know everything. They'll definitely avenge us!"

"You brought this upon yourselves!"

Ye Xiwen ignored him completely and simply struck out with one palm, his true qi surging like a raging torrent!

Bang!

The blue-robed youth let out a miserable scream and died at once.

After killing the blue-robed youth, Ye Xiwen also killed the unconscious violet-robed youth. It was his first time silencing witnesses through murder, and he had no time to think too deeply about it. From what the blue-robed youth had said, there were many Zhang Family experts nearby. He had to leave as quickly as possible.

Not long after Ye Xiwen left, a group of five arrived at the scene. Seeing the three corpses lying on the ground, the entire group was immediately consumed by fury.

"The young master's corpse is still warm. That murderer cannot have gone far! Chase him! Chase him down! Even if we must pursue him to the ends of the earth, we must catch him! Only skinning him and pulling out his tendons will ease the hatred in my heart!" The leader of the five, a man with a long scar across his face, roared through gritted teeth.

"Yes!" the other four answered.
