It's Sword Intent!
Ye Yunfei has truly comprehended Sword Intent!
In the martial arena, the deathly silence lasted for several breaths before, on the eastern high platform, the Grand Elder abruptly stood up, shouting in a voice filled with disbelief.
This means our Ye Family has produced a true sword cultivator!
The Sixth Elder also spoke in an awestruck tone, his voice a low roar.
Impossible... A waste who couldn't cultivate, how has he suddenly turned things around so completely...
Ye Zhongnian took a few steps back, instantly seeming to age over a decade, completely unable to accept the reality before him.
His two sons were his greatest reliance, the very foundation of his confidence in contending for the position of family patriarch.
But now, his eldest son Ye Lei had been defeated in a single move, and his second son had been knocked unconscious with one slap, still not awake.
The other five elders who supported Ye Zhongnian also had grim, unsightly expressions.
Fei'er... He not only cultivated a superior movement technique, but has also comprehended true Sword Intent. How come I knew nothing about this...
Ye Tianpeng, on the other hand, was filled with both shock and joy.
Today, the surprises his son had brought him were simply too great.
He even suddenly realized that his son's excellence was almost exaggerated, almost unfamiliar!
Only the family patriarch Ye Tianpeng and the seven elders in the entire martial arena could discern that Ye Yunfei had just manifested true Sword Intent.
As for the other Ye clansmen, they were all stupefied by a single fact: the powerful Ye Lei had been defeated... in one move!
I wonder if everyone noticed. The instant Ye Yunfei drew his sword, the spiritual force realm he displayed was Body Tempering Sixth Level.
Just three days ago, he had just recovered his cultivation base, merely at Body Tempering Third Level!
Suddenly, the Grand Elder took a deep breath and spoke, enunciating each word.
Correct!
Everyone around shuddered simultaneously, their gazes towards Ye Yunfei now filled with profound shock.
Three days... Ascending three levels!
What kind of monster is this!
On the platform.
'You kept calling me a waste over and over. Now, do you understand who the real waste is?'
Ye Yunfei's calm gaze looked at Ye Lei as he spoke slowly.
No... This can't be real. It's an illusion. It must be an illusion...
Ye Lei simply could not accept the fact of his defeat. He fell into a kind of deranged state, his face terrifyingly ferocious.
'A slight setback, and you cannot bear it.
Your conviction is lost. Your future achievements on the martial path will be limited.'
Ye Yunfei's tone carried a hint of disdain.
From beginning to end, Ye Yunfei had never regarded Ye Lei as an equal opponent.
Ye Yunfei sheathed his sword, turned, and walked towards the edge of the platform.
'Waste! I'll kill you!'
Ye Lei suddenly roared insanely, his gaze filled with extreme resentment, his killing intent rampant.
ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR!
Five successive lion roars erupted as Ye Lei, like an enraged wild lion, pounced to attack Ye Yunfei from behind.
Without turning his head, as if he had grown eyes on the back of his skull, Ye Yunfei reversed his grip on his sword and stabbed backward.
Pfft!
The sword tip accurately pierced Ye Lei's dantian. Streams of spiritual force poured out like floodwaters breaching a dam, spilling out before dissipating into the surrounding heaven and earth.
Ye Yunfei had sensed Ye Lei's killing intent.
With Ye Yunfei's temperament, he would never lightly forgive someone who harbored murderous intent towards him!
No... You've crippled me...
Ye Lei was utterly despondent, collapsing weakly to the ground, his face ashen like that of a dead man.
Ye Lei had been crippled!
This fact left everyone so shocked they were speechless, their minds filled with a frenzied buzzing.
Ye Yunfei! You crippled Lei'er! I'll kill you!
A crazed roar sounded as a figure shrouded in raging spiritual force charged straight at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Zhongnian! You dare harm my son!
Ye Tianpeng had been prepared long ago. With a shift of his form, he shot out sideways, blocking Ye Zhongnian's path.
Boom...
The two exchanged a blow.
Bang!
Ye Zhongnian's figure was thrown far back, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood.
Impossible! Ye Tianpeng, you've broken through to Late Stage Earth Realm!
Ye Zhongnian crashed onto the ground some distance away, howling in extreme unwillingness.
Ye Tianpeng had taken the Profound Origin Pill Ye Yunfei refined and had successfully broken through.
What?
The patriarch has broken through to Late Stage Earth Realm?!
Most of the Ye clansmen were both shocked and overjoyed.
Hahaha... Tianpeng, I never imagined you would actually break through to Late Stage Earth Realm.
This means the strength of our Ye Family has risen another level.
The Grand Elder laughed heartily.
Gaining another expert at Late Stage Earth Realm held profound significance for the Ye Family.
The five elders who supported Ye Zhongnian, however, wore fluctuating expressions; the development of events had exceeded their expectations.
Elders! Ye Yunfei has a ruthless nature. He crippled my son Ye Lei, dealt such a heavy hand even against a clansman—this cannot go unpunished!
I propose severe punishment—cripple Ye Yunfei!
At this moment, Ye Zhongnian climbed to his feet, pointing at Ye Yunfei and shouting furiously.
I believe that on the sparring platform, blades have no eyes.
Moreover, everyone saw clearly that Ye Lei was the one who first harbored killing intent.
Therefore, concerning this matter, Zhongnian, I hope you will let it go.
The Grand Elder slowly spoke up.
Grand Elder, don't forget, Ye Lei is the number one among our Ye Family's younger generation!
He is the future hope of our Ye Family!
Yet now he is ruined at the hands of Ye Yunfei! Ye Yunfei deserves death ten thousand times over!
Ye Zhongnian roared unwillingly.
Now, Ye Yunfei is the number one of our Ye Family's younger generation.
Zhongnian, I hope you will recognize this fact.
The Grand Elder shook his head and spoke slowly.
The joke was, Ye Lei had been defeated by Ye Yunfei in a single move.
Who was stronger, who was weaker—everyone's mind already held the answer.
This was the cruelty of martial arts families; the strong were revered, the weak faced elimination!
The other elders remained silent. The current situation was clear to everyone. Ye Tianpeng and his son were rising powerfully.
Ye Zhongnian and his two sons were beginning to lose their standing!
Tianpeng, you are doing an excellent job as family patriarch. I support you.
The Grand Elder smiled as he spoke to Ye Tianpeng.
Tianpeng, I, too, have faith in you.
The Sixth Elder also smiled towards Ye Tianpeng.
The other five elders remained silent.
The Grand Elder's prestige within the Ye Family was the highest. Since he had already declared his stance, toppling Ye Tianpeng was now nearly impossible.
I object!
The patriarch of our Ye Family absolutely cannot be Ye Tianpeng!
Suddenly, Ye Zhongnian shouted madly.
Grand Elder, do not forget.
Ye Tianpeng and Qin Xiong have always been sworn enemies.
Qin An has awakened the Heavenly Spirit Body. The Qin Family is destined to rise powerfully.
If our Ye Family has Ye Tianpeng as patriarch, we will certainly face Qin Xiong's frenzied suppression in the future.
Now, the Shi Family, the Lu Family, even the City Lord are all currying favor with the Qin Family.
When the time comes, should the Qin Family, Shi Family, Lu Family, and the City Lord Manor join forces to suppress our Ye Family,
elders, do you believe our Ye Family has the capability to resist?
These words of Ye Zhongnian were shouted out with force, shaking the entire arena.
Upon hearing Ye Zhongnian's words, everyone fell silent. They all knew what he said was true.
Not only should we not let Ye Tianpeng be patriarch, we should expel Ye Tianpeng and his son from the Ye Family, to sever relations.
Then prepare generous gifts to appease the Qin Family.
Only this way might Qin Xiong potentially not hold enmity towards our Ye Family.
Ye Zhongnian said with a cold laugh. He knew his words had swayed the crowd.
The atmosphere grew deathly still.
'That trifling Heavenly Spirit Body, is it so impressive?
I find defeating him quite easy.'
Amidst the deathly silent atmosphere, Ye Yunfei's voice suddenly rang out, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
What?
Defeat Qin An?
Everyone felt Ye Yunfei's notion was utterly mad.
That was the legendary Heavenly Spirit Body!
Could it be said defeat was so easily accomplished?
Hahahaha! Ye Yunfei, keep boasting! With what ability of yours do you think you can defeat the Heavenly Spirit Body? Pure wishful thinking!
Ye Zhongnian burst into wild laughter.
Surrounding clan members almost unanimously did not believe it either.
'Seven days from now, you will know. Defeating Ye Lei took one move.
Defeating Qin An will also take one move.'
Ye Yunfei's placid tone was filled with immense confidence.
All the Ye clansmen were shocked into silence by Ye Yunfei's overwhelming certainty.
