Kill You With One Finger!

Ye Tianming was not very surprised. He knew the Xiao Family would never let him return to Guanxuan Academy so easily. He just had not expected them to wait for him here at the academy.

The black-robed man sized Ye Tianming up and was about to speak when Ye Tianming suddenly charged at him like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey. Behind Ye Tianming, a three-hundred-zhang Earth Dharma Aspect took shape in an instant!

A sky-filling pressure from the earth swept across the field and slammed toward the black-robed man.

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes, a flicker of shock flashing through them. "A mere Major Tribulation Realm cultivator can actually form a three-hundred-zhang Dharma Aspect..."

Before he finished speaking, his sword had already left its sheath.

A hundred-zhang beam of sword light rose from the ground and crashed toward Ye Tianming's terrifying Dharma Aspect.

Boom!

The instant the Dharma Aspect and the sword light met, a deafening explosion thundered out. The earth split apart, and dust shot dozens of zhang into the air. The powerful shock wave instantly flattened the ancient trees for nearly a hundred zhang around them.

The lingering force of the two terrifying powers sent Ye Tianming staggering backward. He retreated more than ten zhang before coming to a stop. Once he stopped, waves of numbness ran through his body. At the same time, he could clearly feel that the Dharma Aspect behind him had become somewhat illusory.

Ye Tianming slowly raised his head and looked at the black-robed man in the distance, his expression grave. This man was far stronger than Xiao Lin.

In the distance, the black-robed man laughed. "I have to say, you really surprised me. You can actually form a Dharma Aspect in the Major Tribulation Realm. It seems they guessed right. You really aren't that simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly turned illusory.

Ye Tianming's pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. The instant the man's body turned illusory, a sword was already bearing down on him. This sword strike was not fast; it had directly shortened the distance between them!

At that moment, Ye Tianming truly felt the breath of death.

But he had no intention of sitting there waiting to die. He stomped his right foot, and countless streams of earth vein power erupted from underground!

Rumble!

Explosions rang out one after another as streams of golden earth vein power and sword light shattered. Even so, the force of the sword strike drove Ye Tianming back dozens of zhang.

The gap between their realms was simply too great!

The black-robed man did not attack again. He slowly raised his head to look at Ye Tianming in the distance, somewhat surprised. "You can actually mobilize earth vein power like this..."

Ye Tianming looked down at his body. More than ten sword wounds had appeared on him, and blood was slowly seeping out.

The black-robed man laughed again. "It seems that besides the Guanxuan Academy of the Central Divine Province, you have another force backing you."

Ye Tianming took out a pill and swallowed it, his gaze fixed on his opponent. Beneath his feet, the earth churned violently, and countless streams of earth vein power were poised to strike.

The black-robed man glanced at the ground beneath Ye Tianming's feet, then smiled confidently. "Whatever trump cards you have left, go ahead and use them."

Ye Tianming looked up at the academy on the mountaintop. The black-robed man suddenly said, "No need to look up there. Song Shi and that waste of a teacher of yours, who also made it through the Guanxuan Dao, can't come and save you."

Ye Tianming said, "Your Xiao Family is really capable, daring to attack the head of an academy so openly."

The black-robed man laughed. "You know nothing of my Xiao Family's true strength. No, I should say you know nothing of this world."

As he spoke, he walked slowly toward Ye Tianming, completely composed. "You think a few fortuitous encounters are enough to stand against my Xiao Family? If you really think that, you're truly pathetic. People at the bottom like you will never understand what it means to have a foundation or what a great family is!"

As he spoke, a terrifying sword force swept out like a mountain torrent, rushing straight toward Ye Tianming.

Space itself twisted wherever the powerful sword force passed.

Ye Tianming felt as though a mountain were bearing down on him head-on. The pressure of the powerful sword force made it impossible for him to breathe.

And behind that sword force came a beam of sword light like a thunderclap!

With a thought from Ye Tianming, countless streams of earth vein power surged up from underground, and his Dharma Aspect instantly expanded to five hundred zhang. At the same time, countless more streams of earth vein power rose and poured into it. Wreathed in boundless earth vein power, the Dharma Aspect smashed a fist toward the black-robed man.

As the enormous fist descended, heaven and earth trembled violently, as though struck by an iron hammer. At the same time, the terrifying power contained in the two fists instantly broke through the black-robed man's sword force, and the sword light vanished with it. Immediately afterward, the black-robed man was sent flying backward...

The instant he was sent flying, blood spurted from his mouth again and again, and his body began to crack inch by inch. It was a horrifying sight.

The moment he stopped, an earth Qi sword suddenly burst out of the ground behind him and stabbed straight toward the back of his head.

But just as the earth sword was about to pierce the back of the black-robed man's head, a piercing whistle suddenly rang out. A stone followed, shattering the earth sword with lightning speed.

Ye Tianming slowly turned to look. A man was approaching from not far away. Dressed in splendid robes, he looked very young, only sixteen or seventeen, and carried himself with distinction.

At the sight of him, the black-robed man's expression darkened. He said in a low voice, "Brother Bei."

Xiao Bei!

One of the three most monstrous talents of the Xiao Family's younger generation and one of its true core members, he had been admitted to the Guanxuan Realm Main Academy at nine and entered the Martial Ranking of the Guanxuan Book at thirteen. He was one of the Xiao Family's three most monstrous talents at present.

Xiao Bei ignored the black-robed man and slowly raised his head to look at Ye Tianming. Behind Ye Tianming, the Dharma Aspect remained, and it had now grown to more than twelve hundred zhang, towering and magnificent.

Xiao Bei stared at Ye Tianming without speaking and simply stepped forward. As he did, a terrifying Dharma Aspect rapidly formed behind him, reaching three thousand zhang in the blink of an eye!

Three thousand zhang!

A Time Immortal!

Terrifying power of time filled the space between heaven and earth.

A sixteen-year-old Time Immortal!

This was a super genius from the Guanxuan Realm Main Academy!

Inside the academy, two old men sat facing each other.

One was Song Shi. Seated opposite him was an old man who was none other than Xiao Qun, the current grand elder of the Xiao Family.

A chessboard lay between them. Xiao Qun played black, and Song Shi played white.

Though they sat inside the academy, they could see everything happening outside it clearly.

Xiao Qun picked up a piece and set it down. "Academy Master Song, if you still don't act, your academy is about to lose a student."

Song Shi also picked up a piece and set it down. "Is that so?"

Xiao Qun said calmly, "My Xiao Family knows that besides you, Academy Master Song, there is another hidden force behind that young man. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that anyone who makes an enemy of my Xiao Family will certainly die, and so will the force behind him."

Song Shi laughed. "Anyone who didn't know better would think this Guanxuan Universe belonged to your Xiao Family."

Xiao Qun said calmly, "My Xiao Family may only be a second-rate lineage, but in this Guanxuan Universe, we are not to be offended by just any lowborn wretch."

Song Shi smiled. "Lowborn wretch? If being weak makes someone a lowborn wretch, then count back a few generations. Whose ancestors weren't lowborn wretches? Weren't your Xiao Family's?"

Xiao Qun looked at Song Shi. "After this term, the Guanxuan Academy of the Central Divine Province will be a thing of the past."

Song Shi laughed aloud. "Then let's wait and see."

Xiao Qun said, "Then let's wait and see."

At the foot of the mountain.

After Xiao Bei formed his Dharma Aspect, a powerful force of time filled heaven and earth. The pressure of his Dharma Aspect's presence directly suppressed that of Ye Tianming's Dharma Aspect.

The gap between their realms was too great!

A full six realms apart!

Ordinarily, with a gap of six realms, a Time Immortal Realm expert could easily wipe out a Major Tribulation Realm cultivator with a wave of the hand.

There was excitement in Ye Tianming's grave expression, because this was his first time fighting a true genius.

A three-thousand-zhang Dharma Aspect!

What a magnificent sight that was!

Xiao Bei looked calmly at Ye Tianming, without the slightest trace of shock or emotion in his eyes.

Ye Tianming was indeed a monstrous talent. Forming a Dharma body in the Major Tribulation Realm, when only those in the Immortal Realm could do so, was actually abnormal, but it also proved that Ye Tianming was undoubtedly a monstrous talent.

But to Xiao Ping, this was nothing. At the Guanxuan Realm Main Academy, he had seen far too many terrifying geniuses. Those monstrous talents were truly terrifying; by comparison, Ye Tianming was not so outstanding.

Xiao Bei stepped forward, held two fingers together, and pointed them at the sky. Behind him, his Dharma Aspect made the same movement, extending a finger toward the sky.

Boom!

A vast vortex silently formed above the Dharma Aspect's head, and streams of terrifying power of time poured down from it.

With the power of time bolstering it, the Dharma Aspect's presence surged wildly!

Dharma Aspect Divine Ability Art!

Xiao Bei stared at Ye Tianming in the distance, his eyes full of disdain. "A mere ant dares call himself Tianming? There is only one Tianming in this world, and that is my elder brother, Yang Jia!"

As he spoke, killing intent suddenly surged in his eyes. "Ant, today, I'll kill you with one finger!"

With that, the Dharma Aspect behind him suddenly brought its finger down...
