Chapter 312: Chapter 278 【Burning Nine Heavens, One-Hit Kill!】

As the red sun hung in the sky, sunlight pierced the eyes.

Underneath the red sun, Ye Wenhao stood tall like a spear, proud and unyielding.

"Burn, blood qi, and connect with heaven and earth!"

Suddenly, Ye Wenhao roared towards the sky, his voice like muffled thunder.

With his roar, power surged!

In an instant, the Power Seed within Ye Wenhao’s dantian started to spin wildly, as streaks of power emerged from the seed, then burst forth from the dantian and followed the route of the Grand Circulation, racing rapidly.

The next moment.

In the senses of Murong Gu and Ye Fan and the others, Ye Wenhao’s previously weakened blood qi began to climb steadily.

Hm?

Sensing the change in Ye Wenhao’s blood qi, Ye Fan stopped struggling.

And Zhao Meng, along with the three subordinates behind him, kept their eyes glued to Ye Wenhao, seemingly wanting to see what Ye Wenhao was about to do.

At the same time, although Murong Gu could not discern what martial arts Ye Wenhao was about to use, he didn’t believe that it could be any more powerful than "Xuansha Fist."

Therefore, he wasn’t concerned, and instead, he stuck the Taiyi Xuan Sword into the concrete beneath his feet, watching Ye Wenhao with interest, waiting for his desperate struggle.

However—

Soon, Murong Gu found Ye Wenhao’s blood qi soaring in the blink of an eye, even more vigorous than before he was injured!

What’s going on?

Murong Gu was startled, his expression involuntarily changed!

According to his understanding of martial arts, a martial artist’s blood qi should weaken after sustaining injuries...

Yet at this moment, Ye Wenhao’s change completely defied the principles of martial arts!

"Why... why has his blood qi become stronger?"

It wasn’t just Murong Gu who realized this; the Yanhuang Organization member named Kang Lin was also clear-headed. Upon realizing that Ye Wenhao’s blood qi was stronger than before, he was stunned.

Why?

Zhao Meng was dumbfounded; as the Yanhuang Organization’s leader in Dong Hai with an S-level information privilege, he was well-versed in some of the world’s powerful martial arts, but he was certain there wasn’t a single martial arts technique that could make one’s blood qi suddenly strengthen!

Not even a forbidden technique!!

Why?

Ye Fan didn’t know; he just stared intently, watching that man, bathed in blood, make his final strike.

Why?

As Ye Wenhao’s dantian’s Power Seed ejected the last streak of power, the blood qi inside his body boiled like a pot of water coming to a boil.

That’s right...

It was boiling!

In this moment.

His blood qi’s density was ten times that of before he was injured!

This scene deeply shocked everyone, including Murong Gu!

Shortly after, before people could recover from their astonishment, the boiling blood qi suddenly burst from the top of Ye Wenhao’s head, shooting towards the sky!

In a split second.

The majestic blood qi soared to the clouds, forming a bridge that connected Ye Wenhao to the heavens.

Magic and martial arts combined?!

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but think of the "Shadowless Yin Demon Slash" used by the Black Dragon Guard brothers Shi Feng and Shi Ling.

Whoosh—

Before Ye Fan could make sense of it, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the sky began to surge wildly, with strands of Fire Essence Qi being stripped and merged into the blood qi.

Danger!

Realizing this, Murong Gu didn’t know what martial arts Ye Wenhao was about to use, but felt a terrifying premonition, as if he were enveloped by the aura of death.

"Burning Nine Heavens!"

The next moment.

Just as Murong Gu wanted to take preemptive action to stop Ye Wenhao, a fierce cry erupted!

"Swoosh—"

With the cry, a figure moved!

Ye Wenhao’s form flashed, turning into a bloody shadow, and shot towards Murong Gu at lightning speed.

Fast!

As fast as the limit allows!

In this moment, Ye Wenhao was more than ten times faster than before!

The terrifying speed left Ye Fan, Zhao Meng, and the others unable to even see clearly, let alone trace afterimages; they could only sense Ye Wenhao’s fearsome presence!

Not just them, even Murong Gu, whose martial arts realm was higher than Ye Wenhao’s, couldn’t see Ye Wenhao’s figure anymore.

This caused a flicker of panic to pass through his eyes!

"Clang~"

Panicked, he hastily drew his sword!

Murong Gu, who had just been overpowering Ye Wenhao easily, had to use the Wudang Sect’s magical weapon, the Taiyi Xuan Sword, against Ye Wenhao!

Ye Wenhao paid no attention to Murong Gu’s actions.

At this critical juncture.

He remembered the first time he met Ling Yun.

He also remembered chasing after Ling Yun on the snow-covered Mount Tian.

He remembered even more profoundly Ling Yun teaching him the technique "Burning Nine Heavens."

He even remembered Ling Yun saying to him then, "Wenhao, because this martial arts technique is so powerful, you can only practice it once you’ve reached the Gang Qi Realm; otherwise, it will stunt your progress in martial arts, leaving you forever stuck at the Innate Great Perfection."

Back then, he had smiled and nodded, pulling Ling Yun into his embrace.

Later, due to the arrangements made by Old Master Ye and to ensure the greater good of the Ye Family, his heart was torn as he abandoned Ling Yun.

Since then, whenever he missed Ling Yun, he would practice this martial arts technique.

Every time he practiced, his mind was filled with memories of their days together, and his heart of regret would become numb, devoid of pain!

He became addicted to this feeling of numbing himself.

Time and again.

Year after year.

He didn’t know how many times he had practiced.

He also didn’t know if he had completely mastered this magical martial art.

But he vividly remembered the shocked expression on the face of Yanhuang’s strongest person, Yan, the first time he saw him practicing this technique!

"I’m sorry, Ling Yun."

Thinking, as he did each time he practiced, Ye Wenhao apologized to Ling Yun in his heart while throwing his right fist with all his strength!

——Burning Nine Heavens!

As soon as the punch was thrown, the heavens and earth changed color!

In an instant.

The blood qi, infused with a massive amount of Fire Essence Qi, seemed to be drawn in, suddenly converging on Ye Wenhao’s right fist.

Just like the scorching sun burning fiercely, a terrifying heatwave spread out from his fist as the epicenter, dispersing in all directions.

"Die for me!"

At this moment, roaring inwardly, Murong Gu wielded the Wudang Sect’s Magical Weapon, Taiyi Xuan Sword, with all his Gang Qi.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, the Taiyi Xuan Sword struck the torrent of blood qi mixed with Fire Essence Qi on Ye Wenhao’s fist, but it couldn’t advance half an inch!

"How... How is this possible?"

Murong Gu was terribly alarmed in his heart!

Is it possible?

"Clang!"

Immediately after, a crisp sound rang out as the Taiyi Xuan Sword was repelled.

Crack!

Murong Gu felt a great shock in his heart, a fear from the depths of his soul overtaking him for the first time.

Amidst his terror, he stood petrified, eyes wide, watching Ye Wenhao’s fist grow larger... and larger!

"Boom——"

Ye Wenhao’s fist pierced through Murong Gu’s heart.

"Zzz~"

Blood spurted out, instantly evaporated.

At the same time, Murong Gu’s soul, as if burned by blazing flames, instantly turned to ash.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

The scene appeared to freeze at this moment.

Afterward, tranquility returned to the world.

Under everyone’s gaze, a black hole appeared in Murong Gu’s heart.

Ye Wenhao’s fist passed through the black hole, emerging from the back of Murong Gu’s heart.

Under the sunlight, Ye Wenhao had his eyes closed, his face spread with a happy, sweet smile.

Murong Gu, however, maintained the look of extreme terror from before his death, his gaze dull as he looked at Ye Wenhao, seemingly asking: What... what martial art is this?

Whoosh!

Ye Wenhao withdrew his right fist, the happy, sweet smile vanished without a trace, his expression returning to calm.

Thud!

Murong Gu’s body fell lifelessly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, then lay motionless, his life completely extinguished!

"Uh..."

The sudden noise jerked Ye Fan, Zhao Meng, and the others back to reality from their shock, yet they looked blankly at the proudly standing Ye Wenhao, their minds completely filled with one thought: What... what just happened?

No impression.

To Ye Fan and the others, they only sensed a sudden surge in Ye Wenhao’s blood qi, which then burst forth from the top of his head, shooting straight for the heavens.

Then, Ye Wenhao rushed toward Murong Gu like a blazing sun.

Finally, the Taiyi Xuan Sword was sent flying, and Murong Gu was dead!

As for how Ye Wenhao killed Murong Gu...

They hadn’t seen it at all!

In fact, they hadn’t even sensed it with their Spiritual Sense!

And all of this seemingly complex sequence of events happened in the span of three breaths!

Was it a combination of Magic and Martial Arts?

Ye Fan again asked himself in his heart.

Reason told him that his father had used his blood qi to communicate with the Fire Essence Qi, to deliver that earth-shattering, ghost-griefing blow, seeming similar to the ’Shadowless Yin Demon Slash’ used by the Shi Ling brothers, which combined magic and martial arts.

But—

There was a great difference between them!

The ’Shadowless Yin Demon Slash’ allowed a martial artist to combine the Evil Yin Qi from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi with their own blood qi, but it only attack the opponent’s soul when striking.

Ye Wenhao’s ’Burning Nine Heavens’ was different!

Burning Nine Heavens directly drew the Fire Essence Qi from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, merging it with his own inner strength, unleashing unbelievable power!

Even more so, Ye Wenhao’s punch seemed to carry tremendous heat, enough to instantly evaporate the blood gushing from Murong Gu and cauterize the wound...

Could it be that in the moment of his punch, he activated a formation using magic to create fire?!

Another thought surged in Ye Fan’s mind.

Then.

He immediately dismissed it!

On one hand, wood generates fire; to ignite a flame using a formation could only utilize the Wood Element Qi, just as Ye Fan had once used the ’Five Elements Formation’ to extract Wood Element Qi from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, then used the ’Fire Dragon Formation’ to create a flame inside the Medicine Furnace.

On the other hand, Ye Wenhao was solely a martial artist, how could he possibly use magic to produce flames?

"Team Leader, this martial art should surpass high-level martial arts, right?"

As Ye Fan pondered without any clear answers, Kang Lin, who seemed to be in shock, asked Zhao Meng with a dumbfounded face.

"I don’t know, but one thing is certain, this martial art will definitely shock the global Martial Arts World!"

Zhao Meng gulped, muttering as if talking to himself but also as if answering Kang Lin.

"This martial art, it seems like it was taught to father by mother?"

As Zhao Meng’s words echoed in his ears, Ye Fan suddenly remembered something Ye Wenhao had mentioned before, startling him once again: Sister mentioned that mother was the Old Master’s disciple, but how could mother know a martial art that not even the Old Master knew??
