You Seem Very Confident in Yourself?

Then he smiled and announced, "My Taiyuan Holy Land admits defeat. Faced with such talent, my disciple will not take part. I wonder how the Xiaguang Holy Lord will thank us?"

"Xie Lingyun of the Sword Sect has unparalleled talent. We at Flaw Light do not believe we can defeat him, so we admit defeat."

Ji Yaoguang spoke up. Whether it was Xiao Feng or Xie Lingyun, their heaven-defying physiques and sword techniques could both be called invincible within their realm.

"My Danyang won't admit defeat. Zhao Wei, get up there!"

The Danyang disciple named Zhao Wei strode onto the fighting platform.

"In that case, I shall repair the fighting platform!"

Ji Yaoguang slowly rose to her feet, her figure graceful. She then waved a hand toward the fighting platform, repairing its cracks.

"All right, continue."

Ji Yaoguang smiled and signaled for the elder to call the start.

Xie Lingyun returned to the arena.

Zhao Wei said viciously, "Hmph, brat, let this great one show you what he can do!"

Without waiting for Xie Lingyun to speak, he flashed behind him, his gaze fierce as he went straight for his life!

Xie Lingyun did not dodge; he had already anticipated it. Against someone who showed no martial virtue, Xie Lingyun would not hold back in the slightest.

"Nine Heaven-Opening Swords!"

With one move, the sword light broke through Zhao Wei's attack and stabbed into his body.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, and Zhao Wei instantly fell to the ground, landing in a pool of blood.

"He defeated a Danyang Holy Land disciple who was also at Early Spirit Transformation in a single move?"

"This... this is unbelievable!"

"First place! He deserves first place!"

The crowd's excitement surged like mountains toppling and seas overturning! Everyone shouted and cheered for this prodigy.

A death in the competition did not affect everyone's mood. After all, casualties were within controllable limits.

"How dare you! Your Sword Sect dared to kill a Danyang disciple and provoke my Danyang Holy Land?"

Seeing that his man had not even withstood a single move, Mu Yang flew into a rage. If he could not take first place in this competition, he would be unable to safely enter the Half-Immortal realm or completely seize the Eastern Continent!

"Danyang Holy Lord, a competition must be fair and impartial. My disciple won first place through his own strength. How is that being arrogant? As for killing your disciple, blades and swords have no eyes. Deaths and injuries are bound to happen, so please accept my condolences."

Neither servile nor overbearing, Ye Tian answered Mu Yang's words.

"It seems you think your wings have grown strong enough to challenge my Danyang Holy Land?"

As soon as Mu Yang spoke, two Middle Tribulation Transcendence experts appeared nearby.

For first place, for the Half-Immortal realm, Mu Yang could no longer concern himself with anything else. Today, he had to use overwhelming force to wipe them all out!

"Mu Yang, stop! How can you be allowed to run wild at the sect assembly?"

Lin Feng sprang to his feet. If this situation got out of hand, the consequences would be grave!

"Heh, your Taiyuan Holy Land and the Sword Sect are in league with each other. In that case, you can die together!"

Mu Yang was utterly enraged. He raised his hand and unleashed his strongest attack, Spiritual Qi condensed into black mist surging forward like a hot knife through bamboo! The two figures behind Mu Yang followed close behind, attacking the Sword Sect from the sides!

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurried forward to block Mu Yang's assault. Ji Yaoguang stopped watching from the sidelines and quickly moved to stop him as well.

"Mu Yang, this is my Flawed Light Holy Land. By doing this, aren't you showing utter disregard for our two holy lands?"

Anger showed on Ji Yaoguang's face. The Danyang Holy Lord had always been brutal and overbearing, and there was no telling how many people he had killed for his own selfish desires. Now he had actually torn all pretense of civility with the two holy lands to their faces!

"Hmph! To hell with the holy lands! I will be the only king of the Eastern Continent!"

Of the Sword Sect, only Ye Tian had just entered Tribulation Transcendence. He could not possibly withstand two Middle Tribulation Transcendence experts. In less than a moment, Ye Tian was defeated, spitting blood as he fell.

"Ancestor!"

Ye Ling hurried forward to help him up.

Seeing the situation spiral out of control, the rest of the people from the holy lands thought of fleeing at once. The other eight great sects saw what was happening and, though they were no match for their opponents, were willing to resist to the death.

"Your Danyang Holy Land will suffer retribution for what you've done today!"

The sect master of the Mysterious Nether Sect denounced him, while the other great sects covered the weaker people's escape.

"Hmph! Today I'll show you who's going to suffer retribution!"

Mu Yang threw caution to the wind and swallowed the unstable supreme-grade Heaven Tier Tribulation Transcendence Pill. Its side effects had not been eliminated, and they would leave him unable to cultivate for decades afterward.

"Heh, to think he'd even bring out such a filthy thing."

Ye Zichen watched the chaos without rushing to act. An expert could always do as he pleased! He would deliver the most despair-inducing blow to Mu Yang!

At that moment, the atmosphere changed. Everyone felt a pressure far beyond Tribulation Transcendence. Half-Immortal!

Lin Feng and Ji Yaoguang were driven back by the pressure and cried out in shock, "Half... Half-Immortal!"

"That pill actually succeeded!"

Ji Yaoguang also cried out. She naturally knew what the Danyang that Mu Yang had always sought was.

"Today, everyone will die here! The Eastern Continent belongs to Danyang!"

With that, a towering black mist enveloped the entire holy land. Now that things had reached this point, even if he destroyed this place, Danyang would still have the strength to unite the Eastern Continent!

"It's over! Those of us from the smaller sects are going to die here today too!"

"Danyang Holy Lord, may you die a horrible death!"

The scene descended into chaos, with people fleeing in every direction. But black Qi enveloped the entire holy land, and no one could get out.

Amid the panicked crowd, Ling Yun supported the limping Xiao Feng and said, "Junior Brother, what do we do? It looks like we can't go back."

Ling Yun wore a mournful face as she watched the black mist envelop the entire holy land, feeling terribly aggrieved.

Xiao Feng straightened up and comforted her. "We'll be fine. That senior is still here!"

Thinking of Ye Zichen, Xiao Feng felt that a situation like this was nothing, so he quietly found a place to sit down.

Mu Yang swept his gaze over the scene and noticed that Ye Zichen was still sitting calmly in the Sword Sect's secondary seat. Assuming he was scared out of his wits, Mu Yang sneered, "For a mortal like you to die at the hands of a dignified Half-Immortal is an honor! If you want to blame someone, blame the Sword Sect for dragging you down!"

Supporting Ye Tian, Ye Ling angrily shot back, "How dare you! You are not allowed to speak disrespectfully to His Excellency!"

"Oh? You're at death's door and still protecting this sort of trash? Then I'll wipe you out!"

Just then, Ye Zichen spoke.

"You seem quite confident in yourself?"

Ye Zichen raised an eyebrow. He was watching a show, and this man had to come mock him too. Was he dancing on his own grave?

"Hahahahaha! What can you do now?"

Mu Yang belittled Ye Zichen again, then struck out with his palm, sending black mist straight at him!

Boom!

An explosion erupted around Ye Zichen, sending Ye Ling and Ye Tian flying a great distance.

Mu Yang was delighted. He believed no one could withstand that strike!

Suddenly!

"A mayfly trying to shake a tree." Ye Zichen's icy voice rang throughout the holy land.
