At the sa ti, Ye Yunfeng reached out, grabbing Ye Deming’s wrist. "Father," he said with a hint of regret, "it’s a pity my aptitude is so poor. If my body could withstand more, and if I had just a little more ti to drain the power from your corpse, I wouldn’t be in this situation, only able to temporarily remain at the Half-Step Peak."
"But rest assured, the power you’ve given now is enough to kill them. In ti, I will certainly reach the true Peak Realm."
The expressions of everyone on Xu Ke’s side changed drastically. They now realized the situation had spiraled completely beyond their control.
They hadn’t expected this. Ye Yunfeng clearly felt that simply reaching Innate Great Perfection wasn’t enough to guarantee victory over Xu Ke’s n. He was actually using the four corpses to perform a secret technique for a temporary breakthrough.
If Xu Ke and his allies had known this earlier, Chen Xiong might have burned his True Qi to launch a desperate, all-or-nothing attack from the start.
"Die!" Chen Xiong roared. He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, paying an enormous price to send his True Qi surging wildly through his body. With a sudden burst of power, he actually managed to push Ye Liang back.
Seeing this, Yin Ping sneered, "A little late for that, don’t you think? It’s far too late to use a secret technique now!"
Imdiately after, Chen Xiong charged toward Ye Yunfeng, roaring, "Xu Ke, create an opportunity for !"
As Xu Ke watched, his eye sockets began to crack and seep blood. The True Qi inside his body roiled violently, like oil thrown into boiling water. He gritted his teeth, desperately chanting in his mind, Rise, rise, rise!
Images of him practicing remote-striking techniques with his master on the mountain flooded his mind...
The next mont, as he frantically pushed the secret technique, Xu Ke felt a slight loosening of the Oath of the dical Path. The price was imdiate: thick, scarlet blood began to stream from all seven of his orifices.
Then, a power that did not belong to his realm erupted from within Xu Ke’s body. Furthermore, it was accompanied by a domineering force that seed utterly otherworldly.
This power was Dragon Essence!
The mont the Dragon Essence appeared, Ye Yunfeng’s expression changed dramatically. He whipped his head around, exclaiming in disbelief, "What is that?!"
He and his n didn’t know why, but as the Dragon Essence flared, the Demonic Qi within their own bodies simultaneously experienced a surge of fear and lantation.
Yin Ping could no longer remain calm. He instinctively recoiled in terror, as if facing a natural predator. "Dragon... Dragon Essence?!"
Xu Ke didn’t hear Yin Ping’s voice. At that mont, his consciousness was blurring and his vision was becoming chaotic. The entire world before his eyes began to tremble.
He couldn’t hold on much longer!
An aura as brilliant as the sun burst forth from Xu Ke. He spat out another mouthful of blood and shouted hoarsely, "STOP!"
BOOM—
A blast of True Qi, as dazzling as the sun, shot from Xu Ke’s hands, heading straight for Ye Deming’s skeletal remains.
He was going to destroy Ye Deming’s corpse!
"How the hell is this possible?"
"Is this a joke?"
"Have all my years of training gone to the dogs?"
At this mont, everyone present was stunned. They stared in disbelief as Xu Ke collapsed, his body rigid. There was only one thought in their minds...
How could soone at the Innate Initial Stage possibly inflict harm from a distance?!
"Impossible!"
Ye Yunfeng was still reeling from the shock. When he finally ca to his senses, he was horrified to find that Xu Ke’s True Qi was already upon him, aid directly at Ye Deming.
I can’t let this happen! If I lose Ye Deming’s power, my attempt to break through to the Half-Step Peak might fail. If that happens, I’ll really die!
With this thought, in that split second, Ye Yunfeng had no choice but to release Ye Deming’s hand. He turned to face Xu Ke’s attack head-on, swinging his arm in an attempt to replicate the feat of neutralizing the eight Great Perfection experts’ power with his Demonic Qi.
But this ti, he failed.
When the bizarre Demonic Qi touched Xu Ke’s True Qi, it was instantly annihilated. Xu Ke’s unstoppable golden True Qi struck Ye Yunfeng squarely in the chest as he stared with wide, horrified eyes.
BANG!!!
The impact echoed like thunder.
Ye Yunfeng’s face flushed crimson. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back ten steps before collapsing to the ground, his expression one of pure shock.
Why? Xu Ke is clearly only at the Innate Initial Stage! Even if he used so unknown secret technique to forcibly enhance his strength, raising his True Qi’s quality enough to strike from afar, it still shouldn’t have been able to hurt , let alone make spit blood!
But at this very mont, the intense burning sensation in his chest was a stark reminder that this was all real. Moreover, this burning sensation was far beyond what the remote attacks of an ordinary Innate Great Perfection master, like Ye Taiqing, could ever cause.
Ye Yunfeng’s expression shifted again. If that was the case, there was only one possibility!
His power has a restraining effect on mine.
The next mont, murderous intent flooded Ye Yunfeng’s face as an uncontrollable fear spread through his heart. He scrambled to his feet.
I have to kill Xu Ke! If he can attack again, I’m dead for sure!
But as soon as he was upright, he saw Xu Ke lying motionlessly on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, completely drained of strength.
Seeing this, the fear in Ye Yunfeng’s heart subsided, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right. After pushing himself to the absolute limit to activate that technique, there’s no way Xu Ke could attack again!
Witnessing this, the crowd cursed inwardly with regret. Although they didn’t understand how Ye Yunfeng had been injured so badly, seeing him fail to neutralize the remote strike led them to the sa conclusion: Xu Ke’s power countered Ye Yunfeng’s. But now, it was clear that Xu Ke was incapable of striking again.
Then again, they realized, this was only natural. If Xu Ke could still be standing after using a skill so far beyond his cultivation level, it would be utterly absurd. At this very mont, another question circled in their minds. Where did he even learn such a technique?
The crowd murmured amongst themselves. Xu Ke’s performance this ti was far more terrifying than when he had withstood Han Wang. Back then, he had relied on sheer durability. This ti, he had used a remote-striking technique. That technique wasn’t easy to use; it was sothing that should have been impossible for anyone who hadn’t reached Innate Great Perfection and spent a vast amount of ti refining their True Qi.
Unable to figure it out, the crowd could only arrive at one conjecture... Could it be that Xu Ke reached Innate Great Perfection in his dreams?
In that brief chaotic mont, Chen Xiong finally seized the opportunity Xu Ke had created and rushed before Ye Yunfeng.
"Die!"
Then, while Ye Yunfeng was still ten steps away and hadn’t fully recovered from the shock of Xu Ke’s actions, Chen Xiong shattered Ye Deming’s corpse with a palm strike.
SMASH!
Chen Xiong was the only one in the arena who had remained calm, unstunned by Xu Ke’s display. He knew he only had one chance to strike, so he had ignored everything else. In this, his goal was perfectly aligned with Xu Ke’s.
He had to destroy the source of Ye Yunfeng’s power!
As the bones were blasted apart and ground into dust, Ye Yunfeng, overwheld with shock and rage, roared, "What are you doing?!"
The shock from Xu Ke’s attack had been too great. Ye Yunfeng hadn’t even had a chance to process it before turning to see Chen Xiong destroy Ye Deming’s corpse. At this mont, his desire to kill Chen Xiong surpassed his desire to kill anyone else!
Chen Xiong didn’t answer him. He imdiately aid another palm strike at Ye Degao’s corpse.
But this ti, his luck ran out.
Ye Yunfeng kicked him away. "Old fool, since you’re courting death, I’ll send you on your way!"
