"You actually killed Mubai! Ye Yunfei, I want you dead!"
Only now did Lu Yunxiao fully react, like a wounded beast, roaring with a savage fury.
He simply couldn't accept the fact that his son had been killed!
His hatred for Ye Yunfei surged like a monstrous, devastating flood!
"Once on the arena, blades and weapons have no eyes! Lu Yunxiao, what are you trying to do!" Ye Tianpeng shouted loudly.
"How could Fei'er's strength have become this formidable..."
Even Ye Tianpeng couldn't help but chuckle bitterly in his heart. Ye Yunfei's successive instant kills of Shi Hong and Lu Mubai were far too shocking a stimulation.
"Ye Yunfei! You killed Mubai! Your crime deserves death ten thousand times!"
"All Lu Family members heed my command! Kill Ye Yunfei with your full power!"
"Then annihilate the Ye Family!"
Lu Yunxiao suddenly snarled. His killing intent towards Ye Yunfei had reached its absolute peak and was now uncontrollable. All he wanted was to kill Ye Yunfei to avenge his son!
"Ye Yunfei! You killed Shi Hong! This is a capital offense!"
"All Shi Family members heed my command! Kill Ye Yunfei with your full power!"
"Then annihilate the Ye Family!"
Shi Tianyuan immediately bellowed as well.
"Since it has come to this, our Qin Family members shall also move!" Qin Xiong said with a cold sneer.
They had decided to take action ahead of schedule and wipe out the Ye Family!
"What do you all mean by this? On the arena, blades and weapons have no eyes! Life, death, and injury are matters of fate! Are you trying to break the competition rules!" Ye Tianpeng erupted in wrath.
"Haha! Screw those bullshit competition rules! Ye Tianpeng, let me tell you the truth! Before the competition even began, we had already decided to join forces and exterminate your Ye Family!" Lu Yunxiao burst into mad laughter.
Following the orders of the three Family Patriarchs, all members of the Qin Family, Shi Family, and Lu Family drew their weapons. Murderous intent radiated from them as they surrounded the Ye Family members.
"The Ye Family is finished."
"So the three great families really joined forces to surround and kill the Ye Family!"
In the square, the martial artists who had come to watch the excitement dodged away while buzzing with discussion.
"Ye Yunfei is cruel and tyrannical, addicted to slaughter. Ye Tianpeng indulges his son's violence. The entire Ye Family members are all accomplices. Therefore, every member of the Ye Family is guilty."
"Guards! Execute every member of the Ye Family on the spot!"
At this moment, the City Lord of Yuanyue City also stood up and declared in a loud voice.
As soon as the words were spoken...
"Even the City Lord's Manor is taking action against the Ye Family now."
"It seems the Ye Family truly won't escape being wiped out today!"
...
The surrounding martial artists all shook their heads and sighed.
"Ye Family members! Prepare to face the enemy!" Ye Tianpeng knew that a bloody battle was unavoidable and shouted the command.
However, right at this moment...
"Hold!"
A voice rang out.
Then, from the center of the square, a figure slowly ascended onto the arena and stood before Ye Yunfei.
Qin An!
"Ye Yunfei, I'm here to prove that before me, you will always be trash." Qin An spoke slowly.
Seeing Qin An mount the arena, all the martial artists spectating in the square perked up with excitement.
"Excellent! Qin An is finally taking the stage!"
The few elders from the Four Great Sects also brightened their gazes.
Their purpose in coming to watch this competition was precisely to see Qin An's performance.
The result was that the competition had become increasingly chaotic, which had already made them impatient.
Now, Qin An's appearance was exactly what these four elders wanted to see most!
Seeing Qin An ascend the arena, the members of the three families halted their actions.
"An'er, are you really going to fight him... perhaps it's better to let it be. This trash is about to die anyway. There's no glory in defeating him."
At this moment, however, Qin Xiong felt somewhat hesitant.
Earlier, on the arena, Ye Yunfei had instantly killed Shi Hong and Lu Mubai. The combat prowess he displayed had left a psychological shadow in Qin Xiong's mind.
He felt a little uneasy.
One had to know, Qin An was the hope of the Qin Family, and even more so his own hope. Not the slightest mistake could be tolerated!
"It's fine. I will personally slay him." Qin An replied indifferently.
Qin An wore a violet robe that stirred as if by a windless breeze. A long spear was strapped to his back.
That long spear was his weapon!
At this moment, his entire being gave people the feeling of a spear — upright, condensed, sharp, with his edge fully revealed!
"Ye Yunfei, I admit your combat prowess is somewhat beyond my expectations. To have tempered your physical strength to this degree..."
"However, for martial artists, the cultivation of Spiritual Energy and the elevation of realms are the true path."
"Physical strength is ultimately a lesser, secondary path. It is destined to find no major development in the future."
Qin An began to speak, fluently and at length, with an air of pontificating as if he were surveying the vast rivers and mountains.
"And besides, Ye Yunfei, you will have no future."
"I will personally cut you down." Qin An's gaze slanted towards Ye Yunfei, his tone laced with indifference.
"Qin An, who possesses the Heavenly Spirit Body, is going to make his move!"
"Who do you think is more powerful, Ye Yunfei or Qin An?"
"Trash! Qin An possesses the legendary Heavenly Spirit Body, a being with no equal in the entire Great Qin Empire! What is Ye Yunfei worth!"
...
Discussions buzzed throughout the entire square.
"Ye Yunfei, do your best!" Above the square, atop the clouds, Su Qingluo clenched her pink fists, cheering for Ye Yunfei.
"Humph! That Qin An is correct. No matter how strong physical strength may be, it is still a lesser path."
"This Ye Yunfei is destined to achieve no major development in the future."
Beside her, Granny Rong snorted coldly. The combat prowess Ye Yunfei had just displayed made her extremely uncomfortable. Seizing any opportunity, she heaped on scorn.
"Huang Lao, do you think Young Master Ye Yunfei can defeat Qin An?" Amidst the crowd in the square, Xiao Chuchu quietly asked Huang Lao.
She was somewhat worried for Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye Yunfei's physical strength is very high. Qin An possesses the Heavenly Spirit Body, so his combat prowess is certainly no trivial matter either."
"As for who will emerge victorious... I dare not say just yet." Huang Lao replied.
On the arena...
"Haha..."
"Physical strength is ultimately a lesser path?"
"Qin An, put away that laughable sense of superiority of yours."
"In this world, there are many great beings who have tempered their physical bodies to the supreme extreme. Relying on their physical bodies alone, they can pluck stars and grasp moons, even tear through the void and traverse across realms."
"Qin An, with your pitifully shallow knowledge, you are fundamentally unworthy of even discussing martial arts."
"Very well. Today, I shall use physical strength to shatter your pitiful pride."
Ye Yunfei let out a cold laugh.
Ye Yunfei had once been a Heavenly Emperor. The breadth of his perspective and the depth of his knowledge were things Qin An could never hope to match.
When it came to races that had shaken the three thousand greater and lesser worlds relying on physical strength alone, Ye Yunfei knew of at least three or four.
"Absurd! I am unworthy of discussing martial arts? Then are you worthy!"
"Fine! I shall let you see now what true strength is!"
Qin An flew into a towering rage.
As soon as his words fell...
Boom!
One strand after another of powerful Spiritual Energy surged from his body like wolf-smoke signals, shaking the entire arena so that it trembled faintly.
"Mid Stage Earth Realm!"
Instantly, someone cried out in shock.
"So impressive! Truly worthy of the Heavenly Spirit Body!"
"Only seventeen years old, and he has already broken through to Mid Stage Earth Realm!"
...
Gasps of amazement rose one after another.
One had to know, in Yuanyue City, even the Patriarchs of the Four Great Families were only at the Mid Stage Earth Realm level.
Qin An was only seventeen years old, yet he already possessed such a realm. It was genuinely astounding!
