379: Chapter 379 Slaying a Fourth-Level Sea Transformation Realm cultivator

Ye Tian held sword in his hand; facing an opponent a minor Realm higher than himself, he felt no fear, but instead, a blazing Battle Intent ignited within him.

Perfect, he would use this old fellow to test where his limit lay after his Breakthrough to the Sea-Transformation Realm Level 3 Peak!

Of course, the opponent was a Guest Elder of a great clan like the Nangong Family, after all, and was by no means comparable to those small fry from before, so he would not be careless!

"Arrogant junior!" Seeing that Ye Tian was not only unafraid but that his Battle Intent was rising, Nangong Zhuo could not help but be truly enraged.

Having served as a Guest Elder for the Nangong Family for many years, his status was esteemed; even the Nangong Family Head was polite to him. When had he ever been so disregarded by a junior?

"Since you seek death, this old man shall fulfill your wish!"

Nangong Zhuo gave a low shout, and the dusty hemp robe he wore moved without wind as his withered palm struck forward.

A thick, earthy-yellow true essence surged out, transforming in mid-air into a giant rock palm several zhang in size, which struck down toward Ye Tian's head with a rumbling thud!

"Earth Fiend Great Seal!"

Before the palm seal even arrived, its heavy pressure already made the ground tremble slightly and the air become viscous.

This single palm strike was enough to shatter a small hilltop!

Ye Tian did not dare to be negligent; his figure flickered, instantly splitting into three as he dodged in different directions.

Boom!

The giant rock palm struck the spot where Ye Tian had originally been standing, leaving a deep palm print in the hard rock ground.

The three afterimages were affected by the palm wind; two dissipated, while his true body appeared three zhang away to the left.

"Good movement technique, but before absolute power, it is merely futile!" Nangong Zhuo sneered, striking out with his palms in succession.

This time, the palm shadows were slightly smaller, but there were seven or eight of them, and their speed was faster than before, aiming to leave Ye Tian with no way to dodge!

"As expected of a noble family's Guest Elder, his experience is indeed seasoned!"

Ye Tian secretly praised him; whether it was combat experience or cultivation, this old man far surpassed young prodigies like Bei Minghong.

If he had encountered this person before absorbing those Law fragments, he would have had no choice but to run away.

"Ten Thousand Sword Thunder Art!"

Facing these palm shadows, Ye Tian did not panic; he let go of the sword in his hand, letting it hover before him.

Then, his hands formed a sword seal, and sword transformed into a sky full of sword shadows, each entwined with dazzling purple lightning, meeting those seven or eight rock palm seals.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lightning and rock collided madly, and violent gusts swept in all directions, scraping a layer off the ground and sending debris flying.

Those Red Hand Hall assassins and Nangong Family disciples still groaning on the ground were rolled far away by the airwaves, their screams drowned out by the explosions.

Nangong Zhuo's eyes narrowed; his successive Earth Fiend Palms had actually been blocked by the opponent?

This kid was only at the Sea Transformation Third Stage; how could his true essence be so thick? That Lightning Sword Astral Qi was also excessively overbearing!

The dust settled slightly, revealing Ye Tian's figure.

He stood with his sword, breathing slightly hard, and his tiger's mouth felt a bit numb.

Taking a blow from the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation head-on, although he was slightly at a disadvantage, he was not injured!

"Old geezer, you take a sword strike from me as well!"

Ye Tian let out a long cry; the lightning on sword retracted, and the sword blade was covered in a layer of Chaos Qi as he slashed out diagonally!

"Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Art!"

The sword light was not grand, but it made the air emit a tearing hiss, as if even space itself was about to be sliced open by this strike!

Nangong Zhuo's heart jumped; this sword strike made him feel threatened!

He did not dare to be overconfident anymore; with a low roar, his palms instantly turned earthy-yellow, and he struck at the sword light resolutely!

"Rock Demon Hand!"

Clang!

Nangong Zhuo's "Rock Demon Hand" was incredibly hard; he actually used his bare hands to withstand sword!

But he was also shaken back a step by the terrifying force contained within the sword.

Ye Tian was also uncomfortable from the counter-shock force, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. His sword technique changed from a slash to a thrust; the sword tip quivered, instantly splitting into several sword shadows attacking Nangong Zhuo's brow, throat, and heart!

"Trifling tricks!" Nangong Zhuo was, after all, at the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation; his combat experience was rich, and though surprised, he was not flustered.

His palms flew about, either striking or blocking, sealing off all the sword shadows. Simultaneously, his feet shifted as he closed in on Ye Tian's side, delivering an elbow strike condensed with earthy-yellow true essence like a cone toward Ye Tian's ribs!

At the critical moment, Ye Tian actually slid back three feet out of thin air, avoiding the strike by a hair's breadth.

At the same time, his left hand flicked a finger, and a Starfall Finger shot directly at Nangong Zhuo's right eye!

Nangong Zhuo had not expected Ye Tian to be able to launch such a sharp counterattack under these circumstances; in his haste, he could only tilt his head to dodge.

Shiss!

The finger energy grazed past his cheek, leaving a bloody streak on his old face!

"Little beast! You dare to wound me!" Nangong Zhuo was both shocked and enraged; the stinging pain from his face drove him completely mad.

He, a dignified Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation, had actually been wounded by a junior; it was a sheer humiliation!

"I want you dead! Earth Shaking!"

Nangong Zhuo roared, stomping his feet fiercely on the ground.

Boom! The entire corridor platform shook violently, as if there were an earthquake!

The ground cracked, and countless stone spikes stabbed toward Ye Tian from all directions! Simultaneously, a powerful gravity field descended, causing Ye Tian's body to sink abruptly and his movements to instantly become sluggish!

This was Nangong Zhuo's famous technique, combining earth-based attacks with gravity control—an area attack that was extremely difficult to dodge!

Ye Tian only felt his body become several times heavier; the ground beneath him shook, making him unstable, and the surrounding stone spikes were like a forest, blocking all paths of retreat!

"Junior Brother Ye!" In the distance, Pei Tieshan, Feng Xuan, and the others who had just reached the edge of the seventh platform happened to see this scene, and they could not help but cry out in alarm, their hearts jumping into their throats.

Could Ye Tian withstand a full-force blow from the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation?

Nangong Xiao lay on the ground with a venomous and gratified smile on his face, as if he could already see the tragic sight of Ye Tian being pierced through the heart by ten thousand stones.

"Chaos True Intent, open!"

Inside his Dantian, the Chaos Qi Sea rotated rapidly, and an aura that encompassed all things rose from Ye Tian's body.

The moment it touched this Chaos aura, the powerful gravity field that had descended was weakened by more than half! Ye Tian's body suddenly felt light!

"What?!" Nangong Zhuo's pupils shrank suddenly.

His "Earth Shaking" had actually been neutralized by the opponent?!

What power was that? It could actually weaken his gravity field?

Just as his mind was shaken, a cold light suddenly erupted from Ye Tian's eyes!

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

"Illusory Sea Heart Sword"

Ye Tian gave a low shout; from his brow, a Divine Soul sword shot out, piercing directly into Nangong Zhuo's Sea of Consciousness!

Spirit-type Martial Skills were already rare, and since Ye Tian had always deliberately hidden it and rarely used it, even the Nangong Family would not know of it.

Using it suddenly now was like a trump card!

How could Nangong Zhuo have expected that Ye Tian actually mastered a Divine Soul-type attack method?

He felt a sharp pain in his brow, his vision went black, his Divine Soul vibrated, and his consciousness experienced a momentary blank!

When experts clash, life and death are decided in an instant!

In that instant of Nangong Zhuo's distraction, Ye Tian appeared before him as if teleporting.

"Taiyi Light-Splitting Extreme Breaker!"

"No!" Nangong Zhuo was, after all, at the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation; his Divine Soul was powerful, and he forcibly regained consciousness in less than half a breath.

But it was this half-breath that decided life and death!

He saw a light, a sword light that was fast to the extreme, rapidly enlarging in his eyes.

He wanted to dodge, but his body was a beat slower because his Divine Soul had been wounded.

Puchi!

The sharp blade entered flesh; sword pierced through Nangong Zhuo's heart and emerged from his back!

On the sword tip, a drop of dark red blood slowly dripped down.

The horror on Nangong Zhuo's face was frozen forever.

He lowered his head, looking at the sword tip protruding from his chest, his heart filled with resentment.

He could never have imagined that he, a dignified Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation expert and a Guest Elder of the Nangong Family, would die at the hands of a junior.

Ye Tian's wrist shook, and Chaos lightning erupted with a bang!

Nangong Zhuo's body suddenly stiffened; his heart was instantly shattered, his Meridians completely severed, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, his head slumped, and he breathed his last.

Thud, the corpse fell to the ground.

Ye Tian slowly withdrew sword; the sword blade was unstained by blood.

His face was slightly pale, and his breathing was somewhat erratic.

Forcefully killing a Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation across Realms seemed clean and efficient, but in reality, it consumed a massive amount of energy, especially that last "Illusory Sea Heart Sword," which had exhausted nearly thirty percent of his Divine Soul power.

But all of this was worth it!

Then, he turned his gaze toward Nangong Xiao, who was already scared witless on the ground.
