Chapter 293: Chapter 290: Forced to Take Action"Ye Xuan, don’t be mistaken." Bi Rou’s pretty face grew colder. In her view, Ye Xuan was indeed being disrespectful. "Mistaken?" Ye Xuan’s mouth curled into a slight smile, "The one who is mistaken is someone else. I advise you, while you can still speak nicely, it’s still not too late to stop." He didn’t even look up to the Island Master of Heavenly Cloud Island, let alone a mere commander. "Haha, how arrogant. Just because you killed Xiang Li, you think you’re invincible? With so many masters here today, you still dare to be so bold?" The young man in green laughed loudly. This ungrateful fellow in front of him had repeatedly refused Shen Feng’s invitation and had reached the peak of arrogance and defiance. "If that’s the case, then don’t blame me. You can go, but leave everything you have on your body." Shen Feng’s aura erupted like a volcano, and the thunder attribute True Qi suddenly gathered in his palm. With a flash of his figure, he struck a palm from the air toward Ye Xuan’s head. From the moment Ye Xuan first rejected him, Shen Feng had been secretly mustering his True Qi, ready to make a move. Upon Ye Xuan’s repeated refusals and disregard for his invitation, Shen Feng could no longer restrain himself and lashed out rashly. His palm strike carried the wrath of thunder, fast as lightning. Even a Fourth Grade Martial Sect Master of the same level would have to briefly avoid its sharpness. Ye Xuan stood in place, motionless. He didn’t make a move to draw his sword or to prepare to counter. Instead, he lifted his finger and pointed through the air. Shiit! Spiral Sword Qi shot out from his fingertip, amplified by soul power, as fast as a shooting star. Crack! The great hall cracked open with fissures as thick as arms, and the powerful shockwave spilled out from the entrance, carving out trenches. Thud thud thud thud! Muffled footsteps sounded as Shen Feng’s palm bled and he was forcefully knocked back. His face was filled with shock; he hadn’t expected that Ye Xuan, without lifting a hand, would launch such a formidable counter with just a finger, breaking through his enraged strike. "What?" Bi Rou’s eyes shook. She couldn’t believe that Shen Feng had been repelled by Ye Xuan on his first strike. It was truly inconceivable. "I was careless. No wonder he dared to defy me. It turns out he has this kind of strength. This is your reliance." Knocked back by Ye Xuan’s finger, Shen Feng’s eyes flickered before his hands spread out, and a dark blue light shimmered. A giant mace appeared in his hands, over two meters long, with a dark metallic luster. As Shen Feng’s True Qi infused into it, sharp dark blue thunderbolts burst forth from the tip of the mace, spreading a terrifying oppressive force in an instant. Without a doubt, this mace was a High Rank Heavenly Grade weapon. Seeing this, Ye Xuan shook his head. It seemed that his earlier move had not deterred his opponent, but instead prompted Shen Feng to use all his strength. "If that’s the case, then I’ll indulge you." Although Ye Xuan’s injuries had not fully healed, he had recovered significantly. Having not exercised his body for a long time, it was just fine to use Shen Feng for some practice. "Receive my move, Thunder Cracks the Ground!" Shen Feng leapt up, his arm muscles bulging. His robust thunder attribute True Qi flooded into the mace, and he viciously smashed it towards Ye Xuan, who was not far away. Before the strike even arrived, the fierce pressure from the mace blew away half of the great hall. Violent Thunder Snakes slithered everywhere, filling an area within hundreds of meters. "Thunder Slash!" The Spiritual Edge Sword was unsheathed, and Ye Xuan held the sword with one hand, slicing out a thunder arc that tore through the air. The explosive force of the slash sent tremors through the void. Fighting thunder with thunder, the great hall instantly became a mess. Everyone else quickly retreated, and the hall’s Prohibition automatically activated to block the rampaging Thunder Snakes. Even so, the terrifying spread of the Thunder Snakes still caused the entire great hall to tremble ceaselessly, on the brink of collapse. Boom boom boom! Explosions like thunder resounded continuously. In a short time, Ye Xuan and Shen Feng clashed dozens of times, each adopting a head-on collision approach. Every clash sent massive tremors rippling through the area. Finally, the great hall could no longer withstand the combat between the two and shattered into thousands of pieces, scattering in all directions. "Is this Ye Xuan really fighting the Island Master to a standstill?" One after another, the masters of Heavenly Cloud Island were dumbfounded. They simply couldn’t believe that such a young man possessed such incredible strength. "No wonder he wasn’t satisfied with just being a commander, refusing the Island Master’s invitation. With his strength, he indeed doesn’t need to subject himself beneath the Island Master." "It’s still too early to say that. The Island Master hasn’t used his trump card yet. There have been masters who have crossed a few moves with the Island Master before, but once the Island Master’s killer move comes out, not a single one survives. Ye Xuan will be no exception." "That’s reasonable." Many masters were well aware of Shen Feng’s trump card, which could instantly kill opponents of the same realm. When the time came, Ye Xuan would surely be killed in one move, without any suspense. "Kid, you indeed have some skills, but you should surrender now while you still can, otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to regret it later." Shen Feng was also shocked by the strength Ye Xuan had displayed. Given time, Ye Xuan would likely surpass him, but since he dared to attempt to subdue Ye Xuan, he had ways to make the latter submit to him willingly. "Make your move, and let’s see some decent strength first." Ye Xuan said indifferently. "Fine, since you’re insisting on seeking death, I’ll grant your wish!" Seeing Ye Xuan’s calm demeanor, Shen Feng’s eyes turned cold. He leaped into the air, his hands almost simultaneously blasting towards Ye Xuan, "Thunder Spiral Bombardment!" With a foot that cracked the earth, Shen Feng soared into the sky, his mace raised high above his head. Furious thunder gathered at the head of the mace, compressing and merging into a thunder vortex rapidly. The vortex emitted thunderous roars, its terrifying pressure encompassing heaven and earth. Boom! The dazzling mace smashed down, and the thunder vortex detached, plunging down towards Ye Xuan. "Is this your ultimate move? Break for me!" Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged as he still held his sword in one hand, swinging it out. The sword light surged, confronting the thunder vortex. Pfft, pfft, pfft! Upon contact, it was as if two thunderclouds collided, blooming like fireworks. The thunder vortex was engulfed in the sword light. In this head-on clash, the battle’s ferocity became even more violent. The ground cracked inch by inch as if it couldn’t bear the pressure. The next moment, the highly condensed sword light penetrated the thunder vortex, poking a hole through it. From that hole, Sword Qi shot out obliquely, slamming hard onto Shen Feng’s body. Pfft! Hit by the Sword Qi, Shen Feng’s body was instantly sent flying, smashing his throne behind him into dust, and as he heavily landed, he turned the area into ruins. The entire great hall trembled. "The Island Master was actually defeated. Even using his ultimate move, he still lost to Ye Xuan." "With a single sword strike, the Island Master’s trump card was broken. This strength is too terrifying. How did such a formidable young man suddenly emerge? Could he be from the Fourth Grade Demon Clan forces?" "Terrifying. Even the Island Master has fallen. Inside Heavenly Cloud Island, who else could be his opponent?" The moment Shen Feng was blasted away, the surroundings fell into a deadly silence. The next moment, a cacophony of discussions broke out, accompanied by sounds of gasps. "Shut up; the Island Master hasn’t lost yet!" A green-robed youth roared at everyone. The next moment, with a "bang," an explosion suddenly blasted open at the location where Shen Feng had collapsed the great hall. A figure shot out fiercely, launching a fierce attack on Ye Xuan. "Reckless." With a tap of his foot, Ye Xuan’s figure seemed to vanish from his spot, his speed even faster than Shen Feng. With a "puchi," a flash of sword light passed, and with a scream, Shen Feng’s arm was thrown into the air. "Father!" Bì Róu cried out as she watched Shen Feng’s arm being severed, and while shaking with fear, she looked at Ye Xuan, never expecting that the person she had inadvertently saved would turn out to be so powerful. Fear filled Shen Feng’s heart. "Attack, all of you attack! Kill him together, now!" Having suffered repeated heavy blows from Ye Xuan, Shen Feng had lost the confidence to fight Ye Xuan alone. This detestable kid had hidden his strength so deeply. But no matter how well he had hidden, and no matter if his strength was greater than Shen Feng’s, this was Heavenly Cloud Island, and there were many experts who wouldn’t allow Ye Xuan to act recklessly. However, Shen Feng’s shout echoed through the great hall, but not many dared to move. Most hesitated, intimidated by Ye Xuan’s overwhelming prowess. To fight or not to fight? "What are you afraid of? We have at least thirty Demon Kings level experts here. One punch from each could turn this kid into minced meat. If we don’t join forces, each of us will be killed by him, defenseless!" As the people hesitated, the green-robed youth took a deep breath and roared at the others. "The young master is right, if we don’t work together to kill him, he’ll defeat us one by one." "Then what are we waiting for? Kill!" A large number of Heavenly Cloud Island’s experts charged out, their murderous aura raging towards Ye Xuan. "Numbers won’t work on me, Six Dragon Spiral!" Ye Xuan sheathed his sword, and then a majestic stream of True Qi burst forth. At that moment, he felt every muscle in his body wriggling and functioning. He then thrust both palms out, and six golden dragons shaped from True Qi swept out abruptly. Bang, bang, bang, bang! The Six Golden Dragons spun out, unstoppable. Wherever they swept through, people fell in swathes. Numbers meant nothing in the face of such an offensive. The large group of Heavenly Cloud Island experts who had rushed out were immediately reduced by more than half, with the survivors blown away, looking at Ye Xuan with faces filled with horror. "Today, I had no desire to cause a massacre, but those who surrender will not be killed. Those who resist will be shown no mercy," Ye Xuan, riding on the might of a single palm strike, looked down at the people with an imperious gaze. His eyes carried a soul power pressure that when sweeping over them, left many of the Heavenly Cloud Island experts feeling timid. Seeing that things were going badly, the green-robed youth quickly stood out, "Don’t trust this man’s words, everyone..." "Silence." Ye Xuan pointed his finger from afar, and a Sword Qi shot out. Across the great distance, in the blink of an eye, a blood hole appeared in the green-robed youth’s forehead, visibly expanding before he collapsed.
