Chapter 14 - 13: Shocking the Whole Audience!

Chapter 14: Chapter 13: Shocking the Whole Audience! Soon, the news that Ye Xuan was to duel Zhao Wenhai on the Life and Death Platform, wildly spread by Zhao Wenhai's flatterers, swept through the entire lineage of Emperor Peak, and even reached the other eight peaks. When the other disciples of the Emperor Peak lineage heard this news, their first reaction was disbelief. After all, how could a famously foolish son-in-law possibly fight the young genius Zhao Wenhai? "A fool actually stepping onto the Life and Death Platform, that's a first!" a disciple laughed. "Zhao Wenhai is really something, being in the Daoist Platform Realm, bullying a fool is one thing, but dragging him onto the Life and Death Platform is another," another disciple said speechlessly. "This life-and-death match is really pointless. When Zhao Wenhai was in the Divine Gate Realm, he communicated with a Sixth Rank spirit of the Void Divine Realm, and in the Daoist Platform Realm, he forged seven Daoist Platforms. His strength is top-notch among his peers. That Ye Xuan probably doesn't even know how he will die." "Isn't anyone stopping this?" a disciple wondered, puzzled. After all, Ye Xuan was still a son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Zhao Wenhai's actions, although baffling, should have prompted someone from Emperor Peak to intervene. "Don't even mention it. The Second Princess was desperately holding onto Ye Xuan, but he, unaware of his own impending doom, insisted on challenging Zhao Wenhai on the Life and Death Platform. He really doesn't know how to live." "And there's another piece of news. Ye Xuan has already recovered his senses. It's said that the Holy Daughter broke through to the Prince level and healed him. Annoyed by Zhao Wenhai's harassment, he went and challenged Zhao Wenhai to a duel to the death." "Hehe, thoughts of revenge after regaining his senses, but such actions, really are more foolish than a fool." Many disciples didn't even bother to watch. A completely unskilled mortal, how could he possibly defeat a cultivator in the Daoist Platform Realm? Are you kidding? Soon, this message directly made its way to the upper echelons. However, the upper echelons were currently busy with the anomaly involving Zhou Youwei, showing little attention to this farce. There were also some who disliked Ye Xuan. Hearing the news, they coldly chuckled, "Letting this guy die at Zhao Wenhai's hands is a good thing for our Emperor Immortal Sect." "Indeed, his existence is a disgrace to our sect and to the Holy Daughter. It's best if he dies!" On the other hand, in the Heavens Cloud Hall, Zhao Yulong, upon hearing the news, furrowed his brow, "Is this perhaps Leng Yifan's plan? Letting a Daoist Platform Realm disciple duel with Ye Xuan to the death is quite interesting..." "Really thought Ye Xuan was easy to bully, huh." Zhao Yulong couldn't help but shake his head. Others might not know, but he was very clear that Ye Xuan must have some kind of artifact on him. Previously, when he made a move against Ye Xuan, he was counterattacked and wounded. That was when he became suspicious. This life-and-death duel might just provide some answers. However, Zhao Yulong had no plans to show himself. After all, this place was still the Emperor Immortal Sect, and for an outsider like him to get involved in this matter was truly foolish. At this very moment, on the Life and Death Platform of the Emperor Peak lineage, Ye Xuan and Zhao Wenhai had already taken their positions. The Life and Death Platform was a circular arena, a hundred zhang in diameter, undoubtedly massive. The area around the Life and Death Platform was already crowded with onlookers, all disciples coming to watch the show. Zhou Bingyi stood by Ye Xuan's side, her eyes shimmering, her pretty face showing a glimmer of hope. The current Ye Xuan was completely different from the Ye Xuan of the past. Zhou Bingyi had already known this when Ye Xuan treated Zhou Youwei. Yet despite this, Zhou Bingyi still felt apprehensive about the fight. After all, no matter what, Ye Xuan had none whatsoever, while his opponent, Zhao Wenhai, was already well known within the sect. Normally, no one would believe that Ye Xuan could win. "Zhao Brother, smash this fool, and let him understand the consequences!" Below the platform, disciples started to jeer, furiously cheering for Zhao Wenhai. Standing opposite Ye Xuan, Zhao Wenhai, showing a ferocious smirk, glared at Ye Xuan and said, "You little bastard, if you hadn't stepped onto the Life and Death Platform, I really couldn't do anything to you. But today since you're here, don't even think about leaving alive!" Ye Xuan's face was calm, and he smirked, "You talk too much, you know that? Just fight." If it were against an equal opponent, Ye Xuan would have already taken his head during Zhao Wenhai's chatter. However, currently, Ye Xuan was only at the Third Layer of Reach Profound, whereas Zhao Wenhai was at Daoist Platform Realm, which was two Great Realms higher than Ye Xuan. If Ye Xuan took the initiative to attack, he would likely be put at a disadvantage, so he stood his ground, waiting for Zhao Wenhai to make a move. Seeing Ye Xuan still so arrogant, Zhao Wenhai immediately revealed a murderous intent and grimly said, "I hope you can still be so arrogant when you're down in the Netherworld!" Boom! In the midst of speaking, Zhao Wenhai had already moved. His body flashed like a Divine Rainbow, instantly bridging the hundred zhang distance! "So fast!" This scene elicited exclaims of surprise from many disciples below the platform! And Zhou Bingyi, upon seeing this scene, also tensed up, her eyes tightly fixed on Ye Xuan. However, at this moment, Ye Xuan remained motionless, as if he had not reacted at all! "Die, you worthless trash!" Zhao Wenhai was already closing in, his right hand clenched into a fist, striking straight at Ye Xuan's heart! Boom———— That punch unleashed, lifting up a white wave of air, causing a sonic boom! Everyone's eyes widened, unwilling to miss this scene. In that instant of lightning and flint, Ye Xuan moved. Ye Xuan's body twisted strangely, activating the Inch Fist instantly, smashing towards Zhao Wenhai's abdomen. Boom!

Although Zhao Wenhai moved first, Ye Xuan's response was subtle, the movement small, and the two almost simultaneously threw their punches. Thump! Instantly, both figures were sent flying backwards. "Pu-ch——" In mid-flight, Zhao Wenhai suddenly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his gaze dispersed, falling to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop, motionless. Zhao Wenhai's eyes were just like that, wide open, his face still displaying a trace of confusion. He seemed not to understand why Ye Xuan's punch had such tremendous force. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had been thrown out of the Life and Death Platform but landed steadily, his breath calm. "Ye Xuan!" Zhou Bingyi hurriedly ran over. "Damn!" This scene shocked everyone. "What's going on?!" This was nothing like what they had imagined at all! Wasn't it supposed to be Zhao Wenhai killing Ye Xuan with one punch to end the battle? Why did only Ye Xuan get thrown back, unharmed, while Zhao Wenhai ended up flying away, motionless?! Zhao Wenhai's lackeys immediately flew up to the Life and Death Platform to check on Zhao Wenhai's condition. Everyone held their breath, disbelief rising in their eyes. "Brother Zhao, this is impossible!" After a while, the disciple who examined Zhao Wenhai sat down on the ground with a pale face and muttered, "Brother Zhao is dead! His Elixir Field, Daoist Platform are shattered!" "What?!" As soon as these words came out, the entire place fell silent. All eyes turned towards Ye Xuan on the other side, a chilly fear rising in their hearts. This man, what kind of monster is he, to have killed Zhao Wenhai with a single punch?! "I was a bit too slow," Ye Xuan said with some regret, sighing. As Zhao Wenhai made his move, Ye Xuan had used Soul Power to foresee all of Zhao Wenhai's movements, instantly finding numerous weak points. Under these circumstances, he could have perfectly avoided Zhao Wenhai's punch, but because their realms differed greatly, and he was a bit too slow, Zhao Wenhai's punch still hit his shoulder. However, what surprised Ye Xuan was that his shoulder did not break. It seems that both the attack power and defense power of the Taoist Body are very formidable! Other disciples, hearing Ye Xuan's words, felt their brains could hardly keep up. Killing Zhao Wenhai with a counter-punch, yet saying he was somewhat slow?! Are you kidding?! "He's not a mortal, he definitely had cultivation when he made his move!" a disciple said gravely. "If I didn't see it wrong, he should have the cultivation of the Third Layer of Reach Profound!" "The Third Layer of Reach Profound shouldn't be able to defeat someone at the Daoist Platform Realm, and yet he killed Brother Zhao..." a disciple felt deeply terrified. "I must be dreaming, I definitely haven't woken up!" "It's madness, madness, Brother Zhao was killed by Ye Xuan!" All the disciples present couldn't believe what had happened. "Are you alright?" Zhou Bingyi asked Ye Xuan, slightly nervous. Ye Xuan rubbed his shoulder and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."
