Lei Yan's body slumped onto the ground, no longer breathing. Fresh blood dyed the entire arena red.
A single axe strike, it was just an ordinary axe strike, yet it caused the hearts of those who saw it to tremble.
This axe strike didn't merely chop down a tree, but instead, it severed the life of a young expert from the Violet Thunder Sect.
Qin Wentian's current strength was simply too overwhelming. After experiencing the tempering of the Gravity Mountain, his fleshly body was nearing perfection. Every single swing of his axe was able to utilize the strength of his entire body, and in addition to the superiority of his Astral Energy compared to others, as well as his attainments in the aspect of strength, although it seemed like a simple axe strike, only those who fought against him would know how much strength was contained within.
The hearts of those from the Violet Thunder Sect trembled as they stared at the corpse on the arena. Their countenances could no longer be described with just the word 'ashen'.
Not long ago, Lei Yan declared war in front of everyone, arrogantly declaring that he wanted to let everyone see that Qin Wentian was only a braggart. He wanted everyone to see that the Battle Sword Sect's individual combat prowess was nothing but a joke. These words were still ringing in their ears, but when the axe cleaved down, how could it be described as a slap in the face? If this was a slap in the face, the faces of those from the Violet Thunder Sect were all slapped swollen.
The experts from the Battle Sword Sect all started, but they soon understood. Senior brother Lin Shuai and the elders personally went to welcome this young man, he would naturally be extraordinary. Not long ago, they already knew that this junior brother of theirs wasn't an ordinary character. But even so, that axe strike from Qin Wentian still gave them quite a shock.
Although they believed that Qin Wentian would win, they didn't expect him to win in such an arrogant manner. With a single swing of his axe, he killed Lei Yan.
Those from the Medicine Sovereign Valley couldn't help but be shocked as their eyes gleamed with sharpness. Seems like the young man the Holy Maiden liked was truly extraordinary. Sadly, his cultivation base was too low. Their Holy Maiden was someone who could concoct fifth-ranked medicinal pills and was doted on by the Medicine Sovereign.
As for the spectators of Ye, they only had a single thought in their hearts. The Battle Sword Sect claimed to have the strongest individual combat prowess, and it wasn't just a lie. They were truly that monstrous.
No wonder there were rumors saying that those who entered the Battle Sword Sect would have a chance to join the Royal Sacred Sect. After tempering themselves in the Battle Sword Sect for a few years, they would definitely be able to join the Royal Sacred Sect.
But to Qin Wentian, killing Lei Yan was nothing more than an ordinary matter. Throughout these years, how many times had he been looked down upon? How many demon-level characters had died in his hands? Even he himself couldn't remember clearly. Just a mere Lei Yan, Qin Wentian didn't really place him in his heart. If it wasn't for Lei Yan specifically provoking him, he wouldn't have acted at all. But now that he was a disciple of the Battle Sword Sect, he couldn't allow the reputation of the Battle Sword Sect to be tarnished in his hands.
Turning his gaze over, Qin Wentian stared in the direction of those from the Violet Thunder Sect as he calmly spoke, "Those from the Violet Thunder Sect, your mouth is indeed much more powerful than your strength."
As the sound of his voice faded, it was no different from pouring salt on the wounds of the Violet Thunder Sect. Thinking about it, Lei Yan's heroic words before the battle, while Qin Wentian didn't say anything at all. He only said a single sentence, 'The loser shall die.' Now that they thought back to the words spoken by Qin Wentian, how arrogant and confident were they?
"My cultivation base is at the fourth level of Heavenly Dipper. Since those from the Violet Thunder Sect love challenges so much, anyone below the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper is welcome to challenge me, including those at the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper." Qin Wentian faintly spoke. This time around, as the sound of his voice faded, another wave of commotion arose in the hearts of the spectators.
"Junior Brother Qin has gone mad." Ye Lingshuang's countenance drastically changed. Although Qin Wentian's combat prowess was extremely powerful, and she had personally witnessed the might of that axe strike, the Violet Thunder Sect was still one of the nine great sects after all. Among Ye Kongfan's group, there were a few extremely talented geniuses whose cultivation bases were at the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper.
They were already the cream of the crop in their respective cultivation levels, possessing terrifying combat prowess. Yet Qin Wentian actually dared to jump two levels to challenge them? From Ye Lingshuang's point of view, Qin Wentian's decision was simply too audacious.
"How impudent." The countenances of those from the Violet Thunder Sect turned ashen. They were all infuriated by Qin Wentian's provocation.
A cold light flickered in Ye Kongfan's eyes as he coldly spoke, "I respect Brother Qin's combat prowess, but as fellow members of the nine great sects, my junior brother Lei Yan was a guest of your Battle Sword Sect. Even if your combat prowess was superior to his, you didn't show any mercy and directly killed him. Aren't you a little too vicious? If I, Ye Kongfan, don't give an explanation to my sect, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape punishment."
"How ridiculous, the members of your Violet Thunder Sect are so rude and overbearing, exuding a towering killing intent. Lei Yan's arrogance is still fresh in my mind. Ye Kongfan, you are truly sinister." Liu Yun naturally wouldn't give face to Ye Kongfan. He directly exposed Ye Kongfan's words, "Why don't I say the following words on your behalf? Although the disciples of my Violet Thunder Sect are all at the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper, in order to avenge the death of my junior brother Lei Yan, my Violet Thunder Sect is willing to accept this name."
Ye Kongfan's countenance changed. This was indeed what he wanted to say, but he didn't expect Liu Yun from the Battle Sword Sect to speak first.
Earlier when Qin Wentian killed Lei Yan with a single axe strike, Ye Kongfan already knew that it was impossible for a fifth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign to defeat or kill Qin Wentian. They hadn't even clearly seen how strong Qin Wentian was. Only a sixth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign would be able to kill him.
But an instant later, Ye Kongfan's countenance returned to normal as he smiled, "That's right. Even if we lost some face, it doesn't matter. No matter what, we have to avenge this battle. If you guys want revenge, you can continue to challenge the experts of my Violet Thunder Sect."
After speaking, Ye Kongfan glanced at the person beside him as he spoke in a light voice, "Junior Brother Tan, I'm afraid we need you to fight for our sect."
"Ye Kongfan, aren't your actions a little too despicable?" Ye Lingshuang's countenance changed. She stared at Ye Kongfan as she continued, "Tan Feng from the Violet Thunder Sect, his cultivation base is at the sixth level of Heavenly Dipper, and he also possesses the Flame Blood Mandate. Infusing his Mandate of Lightning, Mandate of Fire, Mandate of Blood, and Mandate of Metal, his attacks are so powerful that even seventh-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns wouldn't be able to withstand it. Yet you want him to deal with a fourth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign like me? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Qin Wentian understood that although Ye Lingshuang's words were filled with anger, it was also a warning to Qin Wentian. She could sense Tan Feng's strength as well as the Mandates he was proficient in. If Qin Wentian felt pressured, even if he rejected the battle, nobody would say anything. After all, the cultivation bases of the two of them weren't on the same level.
"If it wasn't for his arrogant words, I wouldn't have acted in such a manner." Ye Kongfan continued, "The Battle Sword Sect and the Violet Thunder Sect are both part of the nine great sects. My junior brother Lei Yan from the Violet Thunder Sect died on the platform, and we have no complaints at all. But since you guys from the Battle Sword Sect want to retract your words so easily, can I help Lei Yan to retract his words and punish him for killing my junior brother?"
"Naturally, since he's a guest, if he's willing to kneel in front of my junior brother Lei Yan's corpse and apologize, I, Ye Kongfan, am willing to take responsibility for this matter."
Ye Kongfan's voice was as calm as ever. His words were clearly sophistry, yet there was no way to refute it. After all, Qin Wentian was the one who spoke arrogantly first.
Right now, Qin Wentian was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The hearts of the spectators mused.
"Hypocrite." Qin Wentian stared at Ye Kongfan. This person made use of his junior brother to act. Lei Yan had died, yet he didn't feel any sorrow. If not, how could he be so calm? Most probably, in Ye Kongfan's eyes, Lei Yan was nothing more than a chess piece. And now, his chess piece was changed to Tan Feng, a chess piece used to kill Qin Wentian.
How could Qin Wentian not understand Ye Kongfan's feelings for Mo Qingcheng? Before this, both of them didn't shed all pretense of cordiality, and Ye Kongfan was doing his best to conceal it. Now, Ye Kongfan was already itching to kill Qin Wentian. He knew that it was impossible for Qin Wentian to kneel to Lei Yan, he had to experience this battle no matter what. And from Ye Lingshuang's words, it was obvious that Tan Feng's combat prowess was extremely high, and he even had the Flame Blood.
"If you want to fight, just scram the hell out." The blood in Qin Wentian's body surged. The Violet Thunder Sect was one of the nine great sects, and the geniuses of the Violet Thunder Sect were naturally extremely powerful. Although he was confident in himself, he didn't dare to be blindly arrogant. Hence, he was already prepared to activate the power of his bloodline. If Tan Feng was truly strong enough, he would unleash the full power of his primordial demonic bloodline to kill him.
"He actually accepted the challenge." The hearts of the spectators were filled with shock. That was a sixth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign from the Violet Thunder Sect, and it was none other than Tan Feng. Those from the Battle Sword Sect had all heard of Tan Feng's name before.
Tan Feng stood up. His eyes were exceptionally cold, and when one stared at him, one could sense a dangerous aura emanating from him.
With a flicker of his silhouette, Tan Feng moved like a specter towards Qin Wentian. His speed was exceedingly fast, and he didn't say a single word. A violent and dangerous surge of bloodline power gushed forth from his body, causing the air around him to emit a sizzling sound. His eyes were pitch-black and crimson, as though there were black-colored flames burning within them, causing the eyes of others to feel a piercing pain.
"Both of their Mandates are at the Transformation Boundary." Qin Wentian could sense the strength of Tan Feng's Mandates from his eyes. Tan Feng's Mandates were definitely not inferior to his own.
Tan Feng continued advancing soundlessly. Lifting his palms, the surrounding space was filled with a terrifying sense of danger. His palms blasted out soundlessly, blasting towards Qin Wentian with a pitch-black palm imprint imprinted with the color of lava.
Qin Wentian slashed out with his axe, slamming into the palm imprint. An instant later, a thunderous boom rang out as the destructive shockwaves danced wildly in the air. That palm imprint abruptly expanded in size, shrouded in a blood-red glow as lightning crackled around it.
Qin Wentian lifted his axe once again as his blood surged. Immense strength gathered in his arms as he abruptly slashed out. The palm imprint was cleaved apart, yet the destructive might of the attack didn't diminish in the slightest as it continued on its path towards Qin Wentian.
"BANG!" With Stellar Transposition, Qin Wentian's silhouette vanished from sight as he reappeared in the air. That palm imprint blasted out towards the horizons.
Tan Feng was only taken aback by Qin Wentian's instantaneous movement. He instantly soared up into the air and with a grab of his palm, a towering screen of light appeared in the air. The screen was clearly black in color, yet it was as though it contained a blood-red glow that enveloped the entire sky.
"The Great Destruction Palm Imprint! Senior Tan Feng is getting stronger and stronger." The experts from the Violet Thunder Sect all had their eyes gleaming with sharpness. They were very clear of Tan Feng's strength. Even ordinary seventh-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns would die in his hands, let alone a fourth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign like Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian roared as an Astral Nova appeared in the air. It was none other than his Astral Soul, the Heavenly Hammer. Instantly, a terrifying light shone from it. With the Heavenly Hammer in his hands, he actually stepped towards the center of the Great Destruction Palm Imprint. Brandishing the Heavenly Hammer, he blasted out with all his strength.
"BANG!" The towering waves of destructive energy gushed forth in a frenzy. As the Astral Nova smashed down, the Great Destruction Palm Imprint was actually still there. From this, one could see how tyrannical this technique was. Seeing that the destructive energy was about to engulf him, Qin Wentian executed Stellar Transposition once more, and at the instant the Great Destruction Palm Imprint was destroyed, Qin Wentian stood at an even higher altitude.
"As expected, I mustn't underestimate the geniuses of the various great sects. The innate techniques and techniques of the Violet Thunder Sect must be extremely powerful as well. Just the destructive power of that palm imprint alone is extremely terrifying." Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. Tan Feng should be one of the more powerful characters in the Violet Thunder Sect.
Ye Kongfan's eyes flashed with a cold smile. He was very clear of Tan Feng's strength. If the two of them were suppressed to the same level, he wouldn't be much stronger than Tan Feng. Tan Feng's usage of the will of Mandates was extremely terrifying, and he could infuse them into innate techniques to unleash an overwhelming might!
