“Good. Very good. I never imagined you could actually defeat Kong Sheng.”
Ning Xuanxuan stared at Ye Yunfei, his expression so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
“However, this is merely the beginning.
I will make you understand that our Xiao Sect is not to be trifled with!”
Ning Xuanxuan spoke through gritted teeth.
He knew that with the scene Ye Yunfei had just created, the Xiao Sect had already suffered a severe blow to its reputation.
Unless Ye Yunfei was defeated with swift and thunderous methods, once today’s events spread, the Xiao Sect would become a laughingstock within Hudao Academy.
When Xiao Ziyang had entrusted the management of the Xiao Sect to him back then, Ning Xuanxuan had vowed to expand and strengthen the sect.
He never imagined such a thing would happen.
Hong! Hong!...
Suddenly, wave after wave of energy, pitch-black as ink, continuously erupted from within his body, spreading outward.
Immediately, the space around him began to darken.
Faintly, an aura of death also permeated the air!
Then.
One white, skeletal human frame after another appeared.
Jie! Jie!...
Those skeletal frames let out a series of eerie laughter, sounding like night owls in the dark sky.
“It’s Hell Fist!
This is Ning Xuanxuan’s most formidable combat skill.
It seems that kid has driven him to desperation, resorting to Hell Fist right from the start.”
“Ning Xuanxuan ranks among the top ten in our academy’s True Manifestation Realm tier precisely because of this Hell Fist!”
Some veteran students in the surroundings whispered in shock.
“This fist technique actually contains a trace of the Death Law.
Although it’s rather low-level and immature, it’s still quite remarkable.”
Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but nod slightly to himself.
It seemed Hudao Academy truly lived up to its reputation as the top academy on the Tianxuan Continent.
The cultivation techniques practiced by its students were far superior to those cultivated by martial artists in the Eastern Region.
At the same cultivation realm, these students from Hudao Academy could easily overpower martial artists from the Eastern Region.
Hong…
At this moment, Ning Xuanxuan suddenly raised his fist and threw a punch towards Ye Yunfei.
His fist erupted with a dense, dark light.
All the skeletal figures surrounding him simultaneously raised their bone-only fists and punched towards Ye Yunfei as well.
Hong! Hong!...
A rumbling filled the space.
Rolling waves of dark energy, profound and vast like an abyss and sea, surged toward Ye Yunfei, threatening to engulf him.
“Heh heh, such clumsy application of the Death Law. All show and no substance.”
Ye Yunfei sneered contemptuously.
As his words fell,
Ye Yunfei swung his hand, and a torrent of spiritual power rushed out from within his body.
This spiritual power shone with a golden radiance, like sunlight illuminating the world.
Then, faintly, the illusory image of a sun appeared.
It released a dazzling golden sunlight.
This was the Nine-Yang Scripture!
The Nine-Yang Scripture, cultivated to a certain level, could conjure nine suns!
With the emergence of nine suns, all things under heaven would be incinerated — its power was immeasurable.
The Nine-Yang Scripture was a supreme, ultimate Yang-affinity advanced technique in the world.
Meanwhile, the Hell Fist Ning Xuanxuan was executing was a Yin-aligned combat skill.
The Nine-Yang Scripture happened to be the bane of Hell Fist.
Therefore, after Ye Yunfei manifested the Nine-Yang Scripture, the dark energy and skeletal frames in the space around Ning Xuanxuan seemed to melt instantly, like snow encountering the sun.
“How is this possible?!”
Ning Xuanxuan retreated repeatedly, his face filled with extreme terror.
Having suffered a backlash, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Hell Fist was his most formidable, trump-card ultimate skill. He never expected Ye Yunfei to simply wave his hand and shatter it.
Hong!
Ye Yunfei threw a punch toward Ning Xuanxuan.
A powerful fist force struck at him.
“I'll fight you to the death!”
Ning Xuanxuan roared furiously, throwing a punch of his own to meet the attack.
He possessed late-stage True Manifestation Realm strength; the spiritual power within him surged out massively, augmenting his fist.
This punch stirred up flying sand and stones, its might truly imposing.
However.
Hong!
A massive fist force exploded directly. The tremendous blast instantly sent Ning Xuanxuan flying.
Then.
Hong! Hong! Hong!...
Nine more bursts of fist force exploded successively, each blast hurling Ning Xuanxuan back once more.
Thus, under the stupefied gazes of the crowd, Ning Xuanxuan's body was flung high into the air again and again, like a rubber ball.
This was the Chain Explosion from the True Demon God-Slaying Fist!
Finally.
Pfft!
Ning Xuanxuan's body crashed heavily in the distance, slumped on the ground, covered in blood, motionless.
At this moment, an atmosphere of deathly silence enveloped the surroundings, quiet as a tomb!
Stunned stares were fixed on Ye Yunfei.
“Even Ning Xuanxuan was defeated. Doesn't this mean that among our academy’s students in the True Manifestation Realm tier, Ye Yunfei’s strength would rank in the top ten?”
“But his realm is only Early Stage Saint Realm!”
…
Soon, shocked discussions erupted.
“Now, whose turn is it?”
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over the other Xiao Sect members.
The expressions of those Xiao Sect members, including those at the True Manifestation Realm, were extremely grim, their eyes blazing with anger.
However, with both Kong Sheng and Ning Xuanxuan so easily defeated,
none of the other Xiao Sect members felt confident about facing Ye Yunfei.
“Let’s attack together!”
Suddenly, one Xiao Sect member roared.
“Right!
Attack together!”
Immediately, the other Xiao Sect members echoed in response.
Thus, several hundred Xiao Sect members moved simultaneously, charging toward Ye Yunfei.
“Ha ha! Good! This will save me wasting time!”
Ye Yunfei laughed loudly.
Then, Ye Yunfei’s fists abruptly shot out with lightning speed, striking through the air.
Through-Mountain Strikes God!
Hong! Hong! Hong!...
One terrifying fist force after another, like cannonballs, struck the Xiao Sect members from a distance.
Aah! Aah!...
Wails of pain rang out continuously.
One Xiao Sect member after another was blasted flying backwards.
Ye Yunfei’s movements were too fast.
In a few moments,
all the Xiao Sect members had been knocked down, falling to the ground like dumplings dropped into a pot.
A cacophony of miserable groans and screams filled the air.
Not a single Xiao Sect member could get back on his feet.
The Xiao Sect headquarters was also in ruins.
“Heavens!
He really flattened the Xiao Sect headquarters!”
“This is huge! A truly huge event!
A freshman, on his very first day of enrollment, has taken down the entire Xiao Sect!”
…
Shocked discussions kept rising from all around.
“This time, I’ll let it pass.
If there’s a next time, there will be no leniency.”
Ye Yunfei’s gaze swept indifferently over the Xiao Sect members, and he spoke coldly.
Have you shown any leniency *this* time?
You've demolished their headquarters!
Listening to Ye Yunfei’s words, the students around silently complained to themselves.
However, no one dared to voice it.
Joking aside, who would dare provoke this ruthless character who single-handedly took on the entire Xiao Sect?
Right at this moment.
Ye Yunfei suddenly had an inkling. He took out the token from his body.
“All new students, assemble before the Epiphany Stele immediately.”
A voice transmitted from within the token.
Not just Ye Yunfei; at this moment, all new students received this message.
“The Epiphany Stele!
The academy is already letting us meditate on the Epiphany Stele so soon?!”
Some students who had already heard of the Epiphany Stele couldn't help but exclaim softly.
