Chapter 633: Chapter 563: A Punch to Break Through

Wang Kun’s cruel methods and arrogant demeanor finally made Ye Fan unable to stand it any longer; for the first time, his face was overtaken by anger, and a cold killing intent emanated from him.

"Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!"

Ye Fan strode towards the arena, his steps steady and powerful, causing the air to resonate around him as if thousands of troops and horses were thundering forward—an intimidating momentum that cracked the tiles beneath his feet.

Hmm?

Ye Fan’s sudden outburst startled Wang Kun, the smile on his face freezing as he stood rooted to the spot.

Outside the arena, the cultivators and other contestants from the tenth group were also stunned by Ye Fan’s astonishing surge of aura, standing like statues.

Even Master Kong Ming, serving as the referee, had his complexion change!

Although Ye Fan’s anger and killing intent were directed at Wang Kun, he too felt the repercussions, sensing a thick danger that sent chills down his spine.

"Way to go, Brother Ye!"

"That bastard is too arrogant, take him down!"

"Cut off his hands, destroy his dantian, and completely erase his name from the cultivation world!"

After a brief moment of shock, several other contestants from the tenth group began to voice their support for Ye Fan, eager for him to teach Wang Kun a lesson immediately.

"Unmoving as a mountain, striking like thunder, the disciple of the Evil Emperor indeed has a terrifying presence!"

"That’s right, in terms of presence alone, the disciple of the Evil Emperor truly lives up to the reputation of a seed contestant!"

"The martial arts genius Wang Kun from the Kunlun Sect is also strong. This showdown is like a spear against a thorn, absolutely thrilling!"

Outside the arena, the onlooking cultivators regained their senses from the shock, discussing fervently.

Besides them, many cultivators hearing about Ye Fan’s impending battle with Wang Kun rushed over from other arenas to witness the fight.

Not only did onlooking cultivators gather around but representatives of various sects and supreme strongmen in the Gang Qi realm in the VIP seats and spectator stands also turned their attention toward the tenth arena.

"Brother Kun, your disciple is about to face the heir of the Evil Emperor so soon, are you confident in your disciple?"

"Although the heir of the Evil Emperor only lit up seventy-five symbols in yesterday’s trial, he only used his martial arts cultivation. As we all know, he cultivates both magic and martial arts. If both sides don’t conceal their abilities, the heir of the Evil Emperor is clearly a cut above."

"Such talk is misguided. Martial arts competitions and simple tests of attack power are two different things. There are many factors that influence the outcome of a match, and strong attack power doesn’t necessarily mean true strength."

"Brother Kun sitting calmly at the angler’s desk suggests he is confident in his disciple."

"A worthy master fosters a worthy disciple. The pupils taught by the Evil Emperor cannot be compared to Kun, but I hope Kun can unleash his full strength and show the elegance of Kunlun swordsmanship."

Sect Leader Kun Yuzhong of the Kunlun Sect spoke with false modesty, his gaze sweeping the VIP seats, attempting to see Chu Xuanji’s reaction, only to find that Chu Xuanji’s expression was as calm as water, apparently not worried about the upcoming match at all.

This discovery made Kun Yuzhong’s complexion change slightly, but thinking of Wang Kun’s preliminary understanding of his newly created supreme martial skill, he was reassured.

"Stripping me of my name in the cultivation world? Heh, your tone is even bigger than athlete’s foot!"

Atop the arena, after being overwhelmed by Ye Fan’s aura, Wang Kun quickly regained his composure, scoffing repeatedly, "Soon, I will let you understand that the Yanhuang Organization listing you as a seed contestant was a mistake—you’re simply not worthy of being a seed contender!"

Without a response, Ye Fan stood still, waiting for Master Kong Ming to announce the start of the match, while mockingly watching Wang Kun as if enjoying a monkey’s performance.

"Don’t flaunt your arrogance in front of me. In my eyes, you are nothing but a waste who relies on a woman and the halo of the disciple of the Evil Emperor!"

Ye Fan’s gaze, full of contempt, was like a needle piercing into Wang Kun’s heart, deeply wounding his pride and causing him to become irate, growling nonstop like a mad dog.

"Master Kong Ming, this dog’s barking is annoying. Please start the match so I can shut him up," Ye Fan turned his head to look at Master Kong Ming.

"You..."

Wang Kun was completely enraged and almost lunged at Ye Fan with his sword.

"Although your match is scheduled for the afternoon, according to the rules, if both parties agree, it can start early. Now, I need confirmation: do you both agree to start the match now?" Master Kong Ming interrupted Wang Kun,

"Agreed!"

Ye Fan and Wang Kun both spoke simultaneously.

"Begin!"

Master Kong Ming stepped back to the edge of the arena and, with his arms crossed, announced the start of the match.

"Don’t try to anger or paralyze me with words again. It won’t work."

As soon as the match began, Ye Fan did not attack but stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, and slowly said, "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Make your move, let me see your trump card!"

"Uh..."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, the onlooking cultivators outside the arena were startled and then looked at Wang Kun with a mix of surprise and inquiry as if asking: Was Wang Kun intentionally showing a fit of rage to provoke and paralyze the disciple of the Evil Emperor?

"Heh, the disciple of the Evil Emperor doesn’t seem to have a reputation for nothing, at least his mindset is quite good. However, martial arts competitions are about strength, not mindset. No matter how good your mindset is, it’s futile without strength."

Seeing that Ye Fan had seen through his ’psychological tactics,’ Wang Kun stopped pretending, his forced rage was gone, replaced with arrogance, "With one move, I only need one move to defeat you! This move, created by my master after stepping into the Gang Qi realm, has yet to be revealed to the world. You should feel honored to be defeated by it!"

"My patience is limited. If you continue to babble, I won’t hesitate to rob you of even this last chance to make a move."

Ye Fan spoke lightly, as if defeating Wang Kun was as simple as playing house.

"Sword Gang Shattering Nine Provinces!"

Wang Kun’s war intent escalated to the extreme, his blood qi boiling. With a roar, he brandished his sword towards Ye Fan!

"Whoosh—"

Sword swung, Qi surged!

A majestic stream of Gang Qi burst forth from the sharp tip of the sword, transforming into a three-meter-high mountain descending from the sky and bearing down on Ye Fan with unstoppable momentum.

Gang Qi turned into a mountain!

As soon as Wang Kun made his move, the representatives from various sects in the audience changed their expressions, and even among the supreme strongmen on the main stage, a flash of admiration crossed their eyes.

With their keen vision, they could see that this move "Sword Gang Shattering Nine Provinces" directly evolved into the shape of Kunlun Mountain.

In the long history of China, Kunlun Mountain holds an illustrious status as the "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains," with the ancient people referring to it as the "Ancestor of China’s Dragon Veins."

This move "Sword Gang Shattering Nine Provinces" not only evolved into Kunlun Mountain but also subtly incorporated the essence of "Mount Taishan Pressing Aura," blending the single might of "Mountain Sword" from the Heavenly Mountain Nine Swords, containing the power of heaven and earth—it could truly be described as shockingly extraordinary.

This discovery made many in the audience and on the main stage turn their gaze towards the Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect, Kun Yuzhong.

Kun Yuzhong had a smile on his face, seemingly very pleased with the power displayed by Wang Kun’s "Sword Gang Shattering Nine Provinces."

Not only did the strong in the audience and on the main stage notice the similarities between Wang Kun’s "Sword Gang Shattering Nine Provinces" and the "Mountain Sword" of the Heavenly Mountain Nine Swords, but Ye Fan noted it as well—and felt its power was far superior!

However—

Even so, Ye Fan did not dodge its sharpness; instead, he suddenly swung his right fist!

"Whoosh!"

As he punched out, an evil aura permeated the air, and a surging Gang Jin flowed from Ye Fan’s right fist, conjuring an airflow wave like a tidal wave, rolling towards the mountain shadow created by the Gang Qi.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The airflow swept through, the air exploded creating a vacuum, directly colliding with the mountain shadow of Qi Ray.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed, the tidal wave of airflow dispersed, and the Qi Ray mountain shadow shattered, eventually fizzling into nothingness.

Crackle and pop!

Terrible energy fluctuations burst forth like ignited explosives, shattering the air within a ten-meter radius, the sounds of air blasts incessant to the ears.

Broken with a single punch?!

Witnessing this scene, the strong ones in the audience and on the main stage were all astonished.

In their view, although Wang Kun’s power was too weak and his understanding of the move "Sword Gang Shattering Nine Provinces" was insufficient, the power should not be underestimated. It would be difficult even for dominant figures within the Half-step Gang Qi realm to break this move—let alone ordinary Half-step Gang Qi Realm cultivators.

Under such circumstances, they all thought Ye Fan would dodge its sharpness.

But—

Ye Fan, who had only reached the Innate Great Perfection realm and was famed for his Magic and Martial Arts, chose neither to dodge nor to avoid confrontation. Instead, he met the challenge head-on with a punch that easily shattered the attack, not at all at a disadvantage!

This somewhat shook them!

If even they were moved, what about Kun Yuzhong, the creator of the move?

"It... it was broken just like that?!"

The smile on Kun Yuzhong’s face disappeared, replaced by sheer astonishment!

Apparently, he couldn’t believe that his meticulously created ultimate martial arts technique was so easily defeated by Ye Fan!

"How... how is this possible??"

Compared to Kun Yuzhong, the shock in Wang Kun’s heart was even greater. He stared wide-eyed, his face showing utter disbelief, as he gazed at Ye Fan who remained unharmed—hardly able to believe what was happening before him.

Before coming to participate in the Tian Shan Sword Sect competition, he had used this move to directly defeat a Half-step Gang Qi realm power figure in the Kunlun Sect!

It was for this reason that he was brimming with confidence, believing that as long as he took the first strike, Ye Fan would be absolutely unable to resist the attack—the final victor of the tenth set would surely be him!

But now, at this very moment, his confidently wielded trump card was merely a joke in front of Ye Fan—shattered by a direct punch!

Just one punch!!

This outcome gave Wang Kun the surreal feeling that he was in a dream. He shook his head maniacally, murmuring to himself, "Impossible! This cannot be possible! Even if your Martial Arts Cultivation has broken through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm, you couldn’t possibly destroy this move so easily!"

"If I were to break through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm, a single finger would suffice!"

Ye Fan withdrew his fist, took a step, and walked towards Wang Kun.

"Arrogance! Take another sword strike from me!"

Wang Kun completely lost his mind, fully activating the remaining Gang Qi in his body, lustful to slash the second sword!

"I told you, you only have one chance to make a move," Ye Fan stated as he suddenly accelerated, dashing towards Wang Kun at high speed!
