Chapter 138 A Slap

After a brief moment of stunned silence, this group of Central Continent Prodigies completely erupted, feeling as though they had suffered a humiliating disgrace.

"I've seen many arrogant people, but you're the first one this arrogant. Kid, I'll remember you!"

Killing intent was fully revealed in Wei Jun's eyes, but just as he was about to strike, the muscular man named Lei Kong beat him to it.

"Good kid, die!"

Lei Kong's lineage was one of the few Cultivators who specialized in Body Refinement, adhering to the principle of 'one strength breaks ten thousand laws.'

Years of constant training had made his Physical Body strength far exceed those in the same realm, even reaching a level comparable to a Magic Treasure; even a Core Formation Realm Cultivator would be far inferior to him.

Using some unknown Divine Ability or Cultivation Technique, Lei Kong's muscles instantly expanded to their limit, and crimson runes flowed across his entire body as he pounced toward Ye Fan like a ferocious beast.

"Hmph, Lei Kong is a Prodigy of the Shaking Mountain Sect and has long since cultivated his Physical Body to be comparable to a Magic Treasure. The one surnamed Ye probably won't even be able to break through his defense," Wei Jun said with a cold sneer.

The crowd nodded, clearly all thinking the same thing, but Ye Fan merely watched Lei Kong's assault with an expressionless face, as if he intended to meet him head-on.

Lei Kong's hands slammed down like war hammers, carrying a force that seemed capable of Heaven Collapse.

At this point, even Qing Mingzi and the others couldn't keep their composure, inwardly cursing Ye Fan for being far too overconfident.

But before anyone could shout a warning, golden dragon scales suddenly grew on Ye Fan's right hand. With a slight exertion of force, a series of cracking sounds erupted from his finger bones, and it seemed as if even the air was being twisted into a knot.

Accompanying a muffled boom, the ground exploded like a tidal wave, kicking up endless dust. From a distance, it looked as if a giant boulder had been thrown into a calm lake.

As the sky-blocking dust storm cleared, Ye Fan was seen holding one hand toward the sky, easily blocking Lei Kong's attack.

Before anyone could say anything else, Lei Kong let out a heart-wrenching scream. His arms hung limply like noodles, and the agonizing pain nearly caused him to faint.

In just one exchange, both of Lei Kong's arms were broken!

Looking at Lei Kong again, his whole body was twitching in pain, cold sweat soaked his clothes like rain, and the look he gave Ye Fan was as if he had seen a ghost.

He couldn't believe his arms had been broken by the counter-shock force. Didn't this mean Ye Fan's Physical Body strength was far superior to his own?!

The Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art combined with the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Art gave Ye Fan this golden dragon scale form. After activating his power, his Physical Body strength was enough to rival a Spirit Treasure; even if he just stood there and let himself be hit, it wouldn't hurt him in the slightest.

This scene, which transcended his understanding, shattered Lei Kong's world view. He turned to flee, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

"Since you're already here, it wouldn't make sense not to leave something behind."

"Wh... what?!"

Ye Fan kicked Lei Kong down, stepping on his chest with the weight of Mount Tai. Lei Kong's breastbone shattered and his internal organs shifted; the pain made him vomit large mouthfuls of blood before he promptly fainted.

Ye Fan casually took Lei Kong's Storage Pouch, which contained quite a few good things, including two Magic Treasures.

"Heh, as expected of a Prodigy from the Central Continent. These things will count as your life-buying money. Now scram."

Ye Fan hooked his foot under the fainted Lei Kong and kicked him back toward his companions.

"Don't waste time. I already told you to all come at me together."

"Or perhaps you should be smarter and just hand over your life-buying money directly."

Ye Fan's contemptuous words completely ignited the crowd's fury.

"Outrageous! Just because your Physical Body strength is superior to Lei Kong's, do you really think the Central Continent has no one left?!"

Wei Jun attacked in a rage, his Dharma sword unsheathing behind him, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.

"It's a top-grade magic treasure!"

The Dharma sword in Wei Jun's hand was named Glimmering Light. It was bestowed by his Revered Master before this journey, naturally with the intention of letting him use the sword to make a name for himself and show off his prowess.

With extraordinary talent, Wei Jun hailed from the renowned Nine-Layered Sword Pavilion of the Central Continent and had painstakingly studied the sword Dao for over a decade.

If it were a pure contest of swordsmanship, even a Core Formation Realm Cultivator might not necessarily dare to say they could win for sure.

With the Glimmering Light sword in hand, Wei Jun pushed forward with sharp determination, as if possessing an invincible momentum. The power of this single strike was enough to level a mountain peak!

"Die!"

The spiritual power of the Glimmering Light sword surged, and a sword light dozens of feet long roared out like a furious Dragon. The power of this strike had even touched the threshold of the Core Formation Realm.

"Senior Brother Wei Jun is 30th on the hidden dragon ranking. The one surnamed Ye is dead for sure this time."

The hidden dragon ranking was a list that had circulated in the Central Continent for a long time, recording one hundred and eight contemporary Prodigies. Any one of them was enough to sweep aside the Cultivators of the same generation from other continents.

Being able to rank 30th on the hidden dragon ranking showed that Wei Jun was indeed extraordinary, but these words nearly made Ye Fan laugh out loud.

"I've only ever heard of being number one, or in the top three, or at the very least in the top ten."

"But look at you, treating a top thirty rank like a precious treasure. It's truly laughable."

Ye Fan's mockery caused Wei Jun's face to turn the color of a pig's liver, and the power of his sword strike surged several points higher.

"Go to hell!"

Wei Jun was driven to shame and anger, showing no intention of holding back with this strike.

In the eyes of these Central Continent Prodigies, the power of this strike could at least squeeze into the top twenty of the hidden dragon ranking.

However, the people from the Nine Great Sects had calm expressions, and some even looked like they wanted to laugh.

Wei Jun's strike was indeed stunning, but so what? No matter how strong it was, could it be stronger than Dao Xuan's Four Symbols Dao Sword?!

Ye Fan's expression remained indifferent. An instant later, five sky-propping giant pillars descended from the firmament like the weight of Mount Tai. The terrifying pressure made the scalps of the gathered Prodigies go numb.

"What is that?!"

"Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand!"

The sky-propping giant hand seemed to carry invincible power. The Glimmering Light sword light was as fragile as glass before it, collapsing instantly upon contact!

"This is impossible!"

Wei Jun couldn't believe what he was seeing. His proudest ultimate move had been broken so easily?!

Before he could wake up from his shock, the sky-propping giant hand followed close behind. Wei Jun's skull trembled with fear as he hurriedly summoned various protective Magic Treasures, but the effect was negligible.

*Bang!*

With another muffled boom, Wei Jun's body flew backward like a broken kite, slamming hard into a mountain wall hundreds of meters away before sliding to the ground like a lump of mud.

The originally noisy Palace Square instantly became silent. These Central Continent Prodigies were each like wooden carvings and clay statues, with not a single glimmer of light left in their eyes.

Lü Xuan's failure could be said to be due to a sneak attack.

When Lei Kong was defeated, everyone could say he was careless and didn't dodge.

But Wei Jun's strike had no reservations whatsoever; at least none of the Prodigies present felt they could have withstood it.

Yet Ye Fan had slapped it away with a single palm. This scene completely shattered everyone's world view.

These fellows had run rampant in the Southwest continent only because they relied on higher cultivation, stronger Magic Treasures, and more powerful Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities. But with Ye Fan, it was a complete reversal.

With his Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation crushing them, inner mastery of a Heaven-Ranked Divine Ability, and wielding a top-grade magic treasure, he was a total stat monster performing a dimensional strike.

"I'll say it one last time: don't waste time, all of you come at me together," Ye Fan reminded them for the final time.
