118: Chapter 118 Elder Qian, How Have You Been?

Ye Tian's expression was calm, and his voice wasn't loud.

But to the Juetian Sect Disciples, it sounded incredibly piercing.

Especially for the leader, Wang Xue, whose face had turned extremely ugly.

"Arrogant little brat! You only succeeded because of a sneak attack, and yet you dare to boast!"

A fierce light shone in Wang Xue's eyes, and the hand holding the poison-coated short halberd trembled involuntarily; clearly, his rage was becoming uncontrollable.

"So what if you're at the Fourth Level of Yuan Condensation? I've killed more than one person at the fourth level! Attack, kill him!"

Although he was surprised by the strength Ye Tian had burst out with in an instant, he relied on his cultivation being one level higher and his experience from a hundred battles, so he didn't take an inexperienced kid seriously.

At his command, the remaining seven or eight Juetian Sect Disciples snapped out of their shock. They shouted one after another, using various methods like poison darts and hidden weapons, throwing them all at Ye Tian!

"Junior Brother Ye, be careful!"

Seeing this, Chen Jianfeng cried out urgently and wanted to step forward to help, but he was stopped by Ye Tian.

"Senior Brother Chen, protect the Restriction; the repair is more important! Leave these people to me."

Ye Tian didn't even turn his head as he stepped forward as if taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.

However, with this step, the Aura around him suddenly surged!

The originally restrained Stellar True Essence erupted violently, and a pale gold halo flowed over his body, as if he were wearing a suit of starlight battle armor.

He didn't use the Taixu Star-Shift Steps, but instead poured Stellar True Essence into his legs, combining it with the Dragon Elephant Art to burst forth with pure speed and power!

Facing the sky-covering attacks, Ye Tian didn't dodge at all and struck out with both fists!

The Stellar True Essence condensed on his fists actually carried a faint sound of wind and thunder!

"Astral Gang Fist!"

This was a fist technique he had created himself by fusing the characteristics of Star Qi Guidance and the Overlapping Wave Fist.

By combining Stellar True Essence with the Overlapping Wave Hidden Force, although it lacked the power that grew layer by layer, it excelled in speed, and its instantaneous explosive power was even greater!

"Boom!"

Wherever the fist energy passed, swords were shattered and poison darts were pulverized!

The weapons held by the two Juetian Sect Disciples at the very front were directly shaken loose by the fist energy, and their tiger's mouths split open.

Their bodies felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer; their breastbones collapsed and broke, and they flew backward, spraying blood wildly!

Ye Tian moved like a swimming dragon, weaving through the crowd, defeating an enemy with a single move every time he struck.

His fingers, palms, fists, and feet all contained Astral Power.

A Tianjue Sect Disciple swung his blade with all his might, but Ye Tian lightly tilted his body to avoid it, then countered with an elbow strike to the ribs, causing a large, shocking indentation.

Another Disciple used a claw technique, his fingertips turning black, looking incredibly sinister.

When that hand clawed toward Ye Tian's throat, Ye Tian struck first, delivering a hand-blade strike to the wrist. The wrist bone shattered instantly, and the man screamed in agony.

In almost the blink of an eye, the Juetian Sect Disciples who had surrounded him were lying all over the ground, wailing incessantly and having lost their ability to fight.

The entire area was silent once again!

The Liuli Xuan Sect Disciples watched with slack jaws, their blood boiling with excitement.

Was this even a battle?

It was clearly a one-sided slaughter of weaklings!

This unfamiliar Junior Brother Ye's strength was beyond imagination!

This time, Wang Xue's expression changed completely, turning from anger to terror!

He saw clearly that Ye Tian's degree of True Essence condensation, physical strength, and grasp of combat opportunities were far beyond what an ordinary Fourth Level of Yuan Condensation could compare to!

He was even a notch stronger than Wang Xue himself, who was at the Ningyuan Fifth Stage Early Stage!

"You... who exactly are you!"

Wang Xue's voice trembled, and the palm holding the halberd was covered in cold sweat.

Ye Tian looked at him calmly and approached step by step: "Now, it's your turn."

"Bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Wang Xue was cowed by Ye Tian's Aura, but at this moment, he was blinded by rage. With a roar, he poured all his True Essence into his dual halberds and unleashed his trump card technique, "Venomous Scorpion Dual Strangle"!

The dual halberds turned into two intersecting arcs of dark green light, carrying a fierce wind as they strangled toward Ye Tian's neck at an incredible speed!

This strike contained all his power, and the True Essence was filled with potent poison; even a Ningyuan Fifth Stage Cultivator wouldn't dare to take it head-on!

However, a flash of cold mockery crossed Ye Tian's eyes.

Comparing speed?

Just as the dual halberds reached him, Ye Tian's body, under everyone's watchful eyes, passed through the gap between the two arcs with a few rapid shifts!

"Taixu Star-Shift Steps!"

At the same time, he concentrated all his power into his fingertip and shot out a line of starlight. Striking first, it headed straight for Wang Xue's Dantian Qi Sea!

"Starfall Essence Breaker!"

The speed of this finger strike was so fast it took only a breath.

Wang Xue only felt his vision blur, followed by a sharp pain in his Dantian!

The True Essence that had been surging wildly a moment ago instantly dissipated!

He looked down in disbelief and saw a small bloody hole at the location of his Dantian; his True Essence was leaking out frantically!

"No... my cultivation!"

Wang Fa's eyes widened as he let out a desperate roar. The dual halberds fell from his hands, and he collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as ash.

Having his cultivation crippled was more painful than being killed!

The battle was over.

The remaining Juetian Sect Formation Master and several servants had already been scared out of their wits. They threw down their Magical Artifacts and ran, not even daring to look back, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ye Tian did not pursue them; the terrain here was complex and close to the Tianjue Sect.

Although he had repelled these Tianjue Sect Disciples, there was no guarantee that others weren't around.

If an Elder-level figure from their Sect was nearby, Ye Tian might be able to protect himself, but he wasn't sure he could protect his other Senior Brothers.

He turned around and looked at Chen Jianfeng and the others, who were still in shock.

"Senior Brother Chen, the crisis is resolved. Hurry up and repair the Restriction."

Hearing Ye Tian's voice, Chen Jianfeng's body suddenly swayed as he finally snapped out of his shock.

He looked at the mess on the ground and the half-dead Wang Xue, his mouth twitching involuntarily, clearly stunned by Ye Tian's ruthless methods.

However, he also knew that against a sinister Sect like the Tianjue Sect, one had to use thunderous methods. He then solemnly cupped his fists toward Ye Tian: "Junior Brother Ye... no, Senior Brother Ye!

Today's life-saving grace is something I, Chen Jianfeng, will never forget!

In the future, if you have any orders, I will not hesitate even if it means death!"

As the saying goes, the one who excels is the master. As a veteran Outer Sect Disciple, Chen Jianfeng understood this principle.

Seeing this, the other Disciples also bowed one after another, looking at Ye Tian like little fans.

This was a world where strength was respected, and the power Ye Tian displayed had earned their respect.

Hearing this, Ye Tian felt a headache coming on and quickly waved his hand: "Senior Brother Chen Jianfeng, there's no need to be so polite. Completing the mission is more important."

Under Ye Tian's protection, Chen Jianfeng led several Disciples who were slightly proficient in Formations to quickly begin repairing the damaged Restriction.

With Ye Tian there to reassure them, everyone was extremely efficient. They devoted themselves entirely to the repair, and in just half a day, the Restriction was preliminarily stabilized.

The mission was complete. Ye Tian took a Jade Slip recording the repair status of the Restriction, which served as proof of the mission, and then bid farewell to Chen Jianfeng and the others.

Chen Jianfeng repeatedly invited Ye Tian to return to the Sect together, but Ye Tian politely declined; he was used to traveling alone.

A few days later, Ye Tian returned to the Liuli Xuan Sect and went straight to the Mission Hall to return the mission.

Inside the Mission Hall, people were still coming and going.

When Ye Tian placed the Jade Slip representing the completion of the grade a mission on the counter, the Deacon Disciple responsible for verification was stunned. After careful inspection, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"The Broken Blade Cliff grade a mission is completed? You finished it alone?"

The Deacon Disciple's voice wasn't small, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall.

"What? Someone completed that suicide mission?"

"Is it that New Disciple, Ye Tian? Did he really come back alive?"

"Impossible, right? That's Juetian Ridge!"

Discussions broke out everywhere.

Among the crowd, Liu Ruyan and Leng Feng, who were also returning missions, also cast surprised glances.

A strange light flashed in Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes, while Leng Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts unknown.

Just then, hearing the commotion, Elder Qian walked out from the back hall.

When he saw the unharmed Ye Tian and the Jade Slip confirming the mission's completion, his face instantly became extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

He had thought Ye Tian would surely die on this trip, which would have been a good way to get rid of this disrespectful boy. He never expected the other party would not only return alive but also complete that almost certain-death mission!

This was simply a slap in his face!

"Elder Qian, long time no see."

Ye Tian looked at Elder Qian, his gaze bone-chillingly cold.

Elder Qian felt a chill in his heart from that gaze and actually didn't dare to look him in the eye.

He forced himself to stay calm and snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's just finishing a mission by luck, what's there to be proud of? The Sect contribution points have been recorded; you can leave now!"

He just wanted to dismiss Ye Tian quickly to avoid further embarrassment in front of everyone.

Ye Tian gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Some accounts don't need to be settled all at once.

Soon, the news of Ye Tian completing the Juetian Ridge mission spread through the Outer Sect.

A "New Disciple" completing a Grade A dangerous mission alone...

It caused quite a stir in the Outer Sect.
