At this moment, countless gazes were focused at the centre of Mount Xiang’s square. Their eyes were flickering slightly.
“Hey, isn’t that one of the Top Ten Outer Disciples, ranked 9th, Chu Yun? Why is he here to cause trouble again? “
“Isn’t that Senior Sister Su Yu? Chu Yun seems to be one of her persistent pursuers, now that she has a man by her side, I’m afraid he won’t be able to stand it, right? “
“But isn’t that man the Ye Clan’s trash; Five Great Clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Why would he appear in our Xingxiang Sect?”
“Not only has he appeared, but he also seems to own an Inner Disciple’s Spirit Value Token.”
“Even trash can become an Inner Disciple, then our Xingxiang Sect will be in decline!”
“…”
All sorts of whispers resounded in all directions. Clearly, quite a number of people had a high interest in the two parties who were about to confront each other.
Ye Zhong was not interested in the surrounding discussions. His indifferent gaze landed on Chu Yun’s slightly mocking face. After a while, he sighed and said, “For the sake of Senior Sister Su Yu’s face, I won’t kill you today. Slap your own mouth a hundred times and scram.”
The faint voice echoed in the room, causing the surrounding disciples who were still discussing to be stunned, one by one. They looked at Ye Zhong with interest!
Did Ye Zhong not know that if he did not say this, there was still room for peace? With his personality, Chu Yun would definitely not let this matter go easily.
He was ranked ninth among the Top Ten Outer Disciples. He was no ordinary figure!
A wry smile appeared on Su Yu’s delicate face. After that, she extended her hand to support her forehead with an expression that said she couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
Perhaps Su Yu was the only one among all the disciples of the Xingxiang Sect who understood that Ye Zhong was really giving her face by saying such words. If it wasn’t for her, she doubted that even if Chu Yun wasn’t a corpse, he would have already been crippled.
The smile on Chu Yun’s face froze at that moment. He looked at Ye Zhong with a twisted expression, and laughed coldly, “It seems like the sun is rising from the west, the Ye Clan’s trash even dared to come and threaten me, since you don’t know life or death, then I will send you on your way!”
As his voice faded, Chu Yun stomped his feet on the ground, his body pouncing towards Ye Zhong. On his palm, a silver arc of light flashed, and his palm was already aiming straight at Ye Zhong’s throat. At this moment, Chu Yun’s Murderous Aura was surging!
Ye Zhong’s expression was cold, but his eyes were laced with killing intent. Chu Yun had the strength of the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. Originally, the two sides didn’t have any grudges between them, so he was just to teach him a lesson. But this fellow actually wanted to kill him in their first encounter? If he didn’t have some ability, wouldn’t he have died here for no reason?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhong did not waste any time talking nonsense with him. Instead, he took a step back the moment Chu Yun pounced at him, dodging Chu Yun’s killing move by a hair’s breadth. With a flip of his hand, he casually pressed his fingers into the middle of Chu Yun’s back
It could be said that their confrontation lasted only a split second. Most of the onlookers were unable to clearly see what exactly had happened just now. Only a few of the more capable individuals had a shocked look in their eyes at this moment!
This Ye Zhong was too strong!
“Let’s head to the Spiritual Medicine Hall.” After making his move, Ye Zhong did not even have the mood to look back at Chu Yun. Instead, he spoke plainly and headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
Su Yu couldn’t help but sigh. Now that the situation had developed to this point, it was no longer the time to exchange any Spirit Herbs, wasn’t it?
Many disciples of the Xingxiang Sect, who weren’t able to see a thing, had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this. Could this Ye Zhong be a fool? You still want to go to the Spiritual Medicine Hall at this time? Even if he wanted to go, would Chu Yun let him go so easily?
“*Cough—*”
Just as everyone was thinking this, after his attack landed on empty air, Chu Yun who had been maintaining the same posture for the entire time suddenly trembled, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. There was some minced meat mixed within the fresh blood. Obviously, he got seriously injured.
“What!?”
“How is that possible!?”
“Chu Yun was defeated in one move? And is seriously injured? “
“What the hell just happened now!?”
The surrounding disciples were stunned for a moment but they couldn’t help but cry out involuntarily, one by one. The vast majority of them couldn’t see clearly what had occurred as everything happened in a split-second. Many of them thought that the next battle would be a fierce one, but they would never have thought that Chu Yun would be defeated in one move.
Only a few disciples who were at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering had shocked expressions on their faces! Ye Zhong’s physical strength was beyond their expectations. With just one move, even Chu Yun who was ranked ninth among all Outer Disciples was not his match at all. If that was the case, then they, who were not even ranked among the Top Ten Outer Disciples, would be killed in an instant!
No wonder Ye Zhong had the Spirit Value Token of the Inner Disciple. The so-called trash of the Ye Clan from the rumour, was actually this strong!
“Ye Zhong…”
Chu Yun turned around with all his might, his face as pale as a sheet of paper. When his gaze fell upon Ye Zhong, both shock and malevolence flashed in his eyes.
“You actually tried to kill me, you’re dead meat!”
With an evil smile, Chu Yun flipped his hand and a jade token appeared in his hand. He then crushed it with a sinister expression.
Su Yu’s eyes flashed when she saw Chu Yun’s actions. She then sighed and also took out a jade token and crushed it.
Today’s incident actually grew bigger and bigger!
“*Cough—*”
After shattering the jade token, Chu Yun’s body shook and he spat out another mouthful of blood, his expression turning ugly. At this moment, he could clearly feel that Ye Zhong’s seemingly casual finger attack had landed on his heart meridian. If not for the fact that he was cultivating an extraordinary Spiritual Secret Art of Body Tempering, he might have died by now.
Even with Chu Yun’s temperament, a hint of regret and fear appeared in his heart.
“Who is it!? Who dares to injure my disciple within the Xingxiang Sect!”
“My dear disciple, are you alright?”
Ye Zhong suddenly frowned as he gazed at the front of him. He saw a figure rushing over like a stream of light, and landed on the square with a loud bang. When his gaze landed on Chu Yun, his expression changed drastically.
It was an old man with a completely white beard, wearing a grey robe. He had a round face with a thick double chin and fat body. However, even so, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s.
When his gaze landed on Chu Yun, his expression became fierce. With a flip of his hand, he took out a medicinal pill and quickly stuffed it into Chu Yun’s mouth. He then patted Chu Yun a few times before the aura in Chu Yun’s body stabilized, and the blood that was overflowing from the corner of his mouth was also stopped.
After doing so, the old man turned around abruptly, and his gaze landed on Ye Zhong. He then sneered, “Brat, it was you who attacked Yun’er, right?”
Ye Zhong frowned slightly, did not explain anything but said indifferently, “So what of it?”
“Heh heh heh, ‘So what of it?’, huh. Good answer! At such a young age, you are actually so vicious and merciless. When you made a move, actually aiming for the other’s heart meridian! Today, this old man will cripple all four of your damn limbs and let the Sect Master give me an explanation!” The old man grinned fiercely. He didn’t bother to ask what was right or wrong. He just stared at Ye Zhong with hatred in his eyes. He regarded Chu Yun as the apple of his eye, one of his assets in the struggle for power within the sect. But today, his beloved disciple’s heart meridian had actually been damaged. He didn’t know how long it would take for him to recover and he just can’t let it go no matter what.
Laughing maliciously, the old man took a step forward and his aura surged up. A terrifying pressure also engulfed Ye Zhong’s body.
Seventh Layer of Body Tempering — Marrow Quenching Stage!
This seemingly incomparably fat old man actually possessed such strength. If he had a fortuitous encounter, then this person could even break through to the Innate Martial Dao Realm!
With such strength, he was definitely on the level of an Elder of the Xingxiang Sect!
And when such a figure brazenly attacked, the surrounding disciples of the Xingxiang Sect all had slightly changed expressions of disdain on their faces. Even though they couldn’t say anything with their status. However, they all saw the development of things clearly, and this Elder was going to cripple a disciple of the Xingxiang Sect without asking, which really made them feel disdainful towards him.
Ye Zhong knew that it was useless to talk to him now. He slowly let out a sigh, warily staring at the fat old man in front of him. He just activated the Shura Sword Seal, and the imprints quickly formed on his palm, one after another.
Even at this moment, Ye Zhong did not have the intention to beg for forgiveness or retreat. He rather wanted to try and see how strong an Elder at the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering could be!
Seeing that Ye Zhong did not seem to plan to retreat, the surrounding disciples’ expressions all changed. Could it be that this Ye Zhong was planning to fight against a Sect Elder? Even if he was an Inner Disciple of the Xingxiang Sect, he wouldn’t dare to do such an audacious thing, right?
