Jiang Xian nearly lost his composure when he heard Ji Haoyue's words and sent a barrage comment.
[Jiang Xian: "If I actually came out, he wouldn't be happy about it."]
[Shi Hao: "He's so brave!"]
[Xiao Yan: "Hahahahahaha!"]
[Fang Han: "I can't keep a straight face!"]
After spending so long in the group, Shi Hao and Fang Han had both picked up Earth slang.
Hearing this, Ye Fan said casually, "Brother Jiang isn't here right now."
Ji Haoyue immediately said coldly, "Since he isn't here, I'll test the strength of a Fenglingyueying Sect disciple like you."
At those words, Ye Fan rose leisurely from his seat and patted his robes. "Test my strength? I'm afraid that divine body of yours will shatter at a touch!"
The gathering abruptly fell silent. Hua Yunfei stopped playing his zither, the Yaoguang Saintess set down the teacup before her, and everyone's gaze converged on them.
[Jiang Xian: "It's starting, it's starting."]
[Xiao Yan: "Go, Ye Fan! Finish him in three moves."]
[Fang Han: "Taking him down in two exchanges shouldn't be much of a problem."]
[Shi Hao: "Go, Brother Ye Fan! Send him flying with one punch."]
Blue waves surged around Ji Haoyue, and a bright moon slowly rose from the sea. Silvery-gray radiance enveloped the entire mountaintop, shrouding everything around him in an oppressive weight. It was the ancient Great Experts' manifestation-Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea.
Those around them watched Ji Haoyue unleash Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea. It seemed he was extremely wary of the youth before him, going all out right from the start.
"So this is a divine body's manifestation? Last time, Brother Jiang blasted it apart as soon as it appeared. I didn't get a good look." Ye Fan remained where he stood, calmly watching that bright moon with an indifferent expression.
Seeing him stand motionless, Ji Haoyue's gaze grew grave. He raised his hand and swept it outward. The bright moon abruptly burst into dazzling radiance, and a streak of silvery-white light hurtled toward Ye Fan. He went all out, holding nothing back.
Ye Fan had actually already comprehended the Chaos Seeds a Green Lotus manifestation. But he was no longer interested in that manifestation. What he liked now was-
Boom!
A Golden Emperor White Emperor flew out and reached the sky, and the entire sky abruptly changed color!
A vast bank of golden thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the void above everyone's heads. Sharp, overbearing bolts of Gengjin Divine Thunder crisscrossed and exploded. Harsh, chilling Gengjin Divine Thunder that could destroy all things instantly covered the entire mountaintop.
The phantom of the White Emperor Golden Emperor loomed faintly within the thunderclouds. Countless bolts of divine thunder lay hidden in the sea of clouds, their killing power freezing the void.
"Be destroyed!"
Ye Fan waved his hand lightly, his tone flat.
Rumble, rumble!
The Gengjin Divine Thunder filling the sky erupted all at once, becoming a torrent of unparalleled sharpness that rushed toward the bright moon.
There was no stalemate, no back-and-forth struggle!
A crisp cracking sound rang across the entire mountaintop. Ji Haoyue's Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea manifestation collapsed on contact. The bright moon broke apart inch by inch, and its phantom dispersed outright.
After shattering the Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea manifestation, the Gengjin Divine Thunder continued without slowing. Like a golden spear piercing heaven and earth, it flew straight toward Ji Haoyue with world-destroying sharpness.
Ji Haoyue's pupils contracted, and every hair on his body stood on end. The manifestation he had just driven with all his strength had been shattered in a single strike, and he suffered an immediate backlash. Facing the oncoming Gengjin Divine Thunder, he did not even have time to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the golden lightning drew closer and closer.
At that critical instant, two figures appeared out of thin air in front of Ji Haoyue.
One on the left and one on the right, the two gray-robed elders simultaneously extended their withered palms, shielding Ji Haoyue and blocking the lightning filling the sky.
Yet the surrounding air froze completely.
The two elders exchanged grave looks, shock in both their eyes. This youth before them was only in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, yet the power of his strike was enough to severely wound a Dragon Transformation cultivator.
The seated Hua Yunfei leaned forward slightly and rested both hands on his wooden zither. Shock appeared on his usually calm, composed face. Looking at the two people ahead, he murmured, "Shattering a Four Extremes Divine Body's manifestation with a single strike from the Dao Palace Secret Realm... this combat strength is far too terrifying."
The Yaoguang Saintess's gaze toward Ye Fan shifted entirely from her initial curiosity to surprise and scrutiny. She thought, This man will be a formidable enemy in the Emperor Road Contest.
At that moment, the two Ji Family Elders' gazes toward Ye Fan turned from shocked to icy. One of them barked in a low voice, "Someone from your Fenglingyueying Sect killed an elder of our Ji Family before, and now you've attacked our Ji Family Divine Body so viciously. Do you realize that if that strike had landed on Haoyue, he would have been severely wounded, if not killed?"
The other was even more direct. His aura abruptly surged, and the pressure of a Half-step Great Expert bore down on Ye Fan like a mountain. "Young man, you must give our Ji Family an explanation for this."
The two wanted to snuff Ye Fan out before he could grow. Otherwise, wouldn't the Ji Family Divine Body have no hope on the Emperor Road in the future?
Ye Fan sneered. "Heh. He's in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and he attacked me, someone in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, with all his strength. Why should I have to go easy on him?"
[Jiang Xian: "The Ji Family really is shameless. The lesson I gave them last time wasn't enough."]
[Xiao Yan: "Shameless."]
[Fang Han: "The old bullying the young, the many bullying the few. These two old men's conduct really is disgraceful."]
[Shi Hao: "Why are these two old men ganging up on Brother Ye Fan? They're awful!"]
[Jiang Xian: "Ye Fan, call me anytime if there's trouble."]
[Ye Fan: "Okay, Brother Jiang. If I can't hold them off, I'll call you right away."]
After saying that, Ye Fan immediately brought out the Machine Race spacecraft, leaving it hovering in the sky above the peak. Laser cannons slowly extended from its underside and locked onto the two Ji Family Elders below.
The two Ji Family Elders stared at the spacecraft in the sky in astonishment. They had never seen a weapon like it.
After hesitating for a moment, the two still decided to seize Ye Fan.
Just as the two were about to reach Ye Fan.
Boom-
Two thick beams of white light shot from the laser cannon muzzles. They moved faster than anyone could perceive, precisely piercing the bodies of the two Half-step Great Experts.
The two Half-step Great Experts fell from midair, turning into a skyful of grayish-white powder before they even hit the ground. A gentle breeze scattered it over the peak, leaving everything clean, without even a trace of their lingering auras.
Dead silence gripped the gathering, as though even the wind had stopped at that instant. A moment later, sharp intakes of breath came from the crowd. The Guardians of those prodigies appeared, shielded their respective charges behind them, and retreated several steps.
Ye Fan looked at Ji Haoyue with an indifferent expression and said calmly, "Brother Jiang already spared you once last time. I'll spare you again this time. But you should know there won't be a third time. If you dare provoke me again, you will die."
Ji Haoyue left without a word, and several attendants behind him hurried after him.
Afterward, several elders from Star Peak appeared. A gray-robed elder stepped forward, his voice anxious and tinged with shock and anger. "Young man, you acted far too rashly. The Desolate Antiquity Ji Family's foundations are unfathomable. With you killing Ji Family Elders here, the Ji Family will certainly come demanding answers. What position will that leave our Taixuan Sect in?"
