Chapter 658: Chapter 585: Ye Fan’s Combat Power

Ye Fan ascended the stage to battle Leng Feng, which excited and filled everyone with anticipation.

However—

Faced with Yanhuang Organization’s most outstanding genius and one of the twin jewels of the younger generation, Leng Feng, Ye Fan did not show any signs of nervousness or fear. Instead, he sat down cross-legged in front of everyone.

"What is the Evil Emperor’s Disciple trying to do?"

Ye Fan’s peculiar action immediately puzzled the cultivators outside the arena, and many exclaimed in surprise.

Not just them, even most of the competitors in the spectator stands were perplexed, like monks scratching their heads in confusion.

Emperor Bai and many strong people looked thoughtful, while only a few Supreme Strongmen like Lv Yuan saw through Ye Fan’s intentions.

"Brother Xuanji, is your disciple planning to sit and fight using magic against Yan’s disciple?"

Although Ye Fan had been very confident and domineering since he stepped onto the stage, this move still took Lv Yuan by surprise, causing him to once again urgently ask Chu Xuanji.

Whoosh!

Though Lv Yuan’s voice was not loud, all present were cultivators with hearing far beyond ordinary people. Almost everyone heard him, and their gazes shifted to Chu Xuanji, waiting for his reply.

"You’ll know when you see it."

Chu Xuanji repeated this phrase, never boasting about how powerful Ye Fan was, but letting facts speak for everything.

"You... you want to fight me while sitting?"

On the stage, Leng Feng’s eyes widened, hardly believing what he was seeing.

"Is that a problem?"

Ye Fan countered, his tone calm and indifferent, yet everyone could sense his confidence.

After all, Ye Fan sitting cross-legged meant he was giving up the chance to dodge, showing absolute trust in his own offensive capabilities. Otherwise, if his opponent got close, he would undoubtedly lose!

"My goodness, am I hearing this right? The Evil Emperor’s Disciple actually wants to fight Leng Feng while sitting?"

"Choosing to sit and fight, he’s obviously giving up defense, clearly intending to use magical attacks, but this is too outrageous. After all, that’s Leng Feng, someone who can be compared to Emperor Bai, and he is only an Innate Great Perfection Cultivator!"

Ye Fan’s response caused waves of shock in Tian Shan Sword Sect Square. Whether it was the cultivators or the competitors, everyone thought Ye Fan was being too presumptuous.

Even Emperor Bai and many other strong people shared this opinion.

Only three people were exceptions.

Chu Xuanji, Su Liuli, and Lv Zhan.

Chu Xuanji was the only one who thoroughly understood Ye Fan’s combat power, well-aware of the immense strength of Ye Fan’s Flying Sword Skill.

And Su Liuli trusted Ye Fan unconditionally. Had it not been for that, she wouldn’t have made the statements about sacrificing herself at Tian Shan twice if Ye Fan lost to Emperor Bai!

As for... Lv Zhan.

Although he did not know how strong Ye Fan was, even before the start of the Qing Bang competition, he recognized that Ye Fan could sweep through the younger generation and create an unbeatable legend!

Just like back then, when Ye Fan, in Ao Xiang Villa, astoundingly crafted the legendary Lifespan Extension Pill, creating a legend of his own!

"You... you’re courting death!"

Leng Feng was completely infuriated. It was one thing for Ye Fan, a mere Innate Great Perfection Realm cultivator, to face him unafraid, but to fight him while seated was a naked contempt, trampling on his unique pride as the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of the Yanhuang Organization!

"Let’s start."

Ye Fan spoke again while bringing his spiritual energy to its optimal state, ready at any moment to deploy his Flying Knife for an attack.

"I’ll give you a chance to make a move. Show me just how powerful your Flying Knife Assassination is to be so arrogant in front of me!"

Leng Feng did not make a move; he planned to let Ye Fan display his strongest ability first, then crush him with absolute strength and ensure his complete despair.

Only then would his inner rage settle!

As his voice fell, Leng Feng’s aura nearly instantly peaked, with Gang Qi emerging around his body, transforming into a lifelike True Dragon coiling above his head, making him appear mysterious and strong.

At the same time, a terrifying war intent surged towards Ye Fan like a landslide!

Whiz!

A sharp breaking sound suddenly rang out, and a Xuanye Flying Knife shot forth from the folds of Ye Fan’s sleeve, streaking towards Leng Feng like a flash of light.

As everyone expected, Ye Fan’s first move was a Magic Attack, and he was extremely adept at the Manipulation Stream.

"Hey!"

Leng Feng stood with one hand behind his back, standing proudly, completely ignoring the rapidly approaching Flying Knife, and scoffed disdainfully.

Whoosh!

As the voice fell, Leng Feng casually slapped at the approaching Xuanye Flying Knife as if swatting a fly.

Clang!

With one palm strike, the Gang Qi roared, instantly knocking the Xuanye Flying Knife away.

"This little skill and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"

After knocking the Xuanye Flying Knife away with one palm, Leng Feng gave Ye Fan a look as if he were looking at an idiot, then prepared to launch an attack to end the fight in one blow.

Whiz!

However—

Before Leng Feng could act, a shrill breaking sound rang out again. The previously repelled Xuanye Flying Knife spiraled through the air, turned around in a loop, and shot towards Leng Feng once more.

This time, the speed and power of the flying knife suddenly surged!

Because Ye Fan had used the first form of the "Flying Sword Skill" technique, "Chun Light," rather than just manipulating the flying knife with his mind power as before.

Of course, Ye Fan had not immediately displayed his strongest attack power but instead, he had only used the power of the entry-level "Chun Light" of the "Flying Sword Skill."

He wanted to use this method to more directly assess how powerful his "Flying Sword Skill" truly was.

If the cultivators watching the match knew this, they would probably faint from shock!

"Useless!"

Leng Feng was unaware of Ye Fan’s intentions and was about to move when he sensed the flying knife shooting towards him. He immediately shouted and struck out with his palm again.

Clang!

A crisp sound emitted again, but... this time, the flying knife was merely shaken off course by the Gang Qi and did not fly out but continued towards Leng Feng.

Hmm?

This discovery finally changed Leng Feng’s expression. He dared not be careless any longer and thundered out a punch!

With this punch, Leng Feng directly used the "Yanhuang Fist," a force not to be underestimated.

Instantly, a surging Gang Qi burst out from Leng Feng’s right fist, transforming into a Punch Ray that boomed towards the Xuanye Flying Blade.

Clang!

The Xuanye Flying Blade was struck by the Punch Ray and flew out again, tossed into the air.

"Ye Fan, you’ve truly disappointed me. I really don’t understand how, with such little strength, you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me? I’m also puzzled about how Master Chu Xuanji could trust you so much that he would even bet his own life during your life-and-death battle with Emperor Bai?"

After repelling the Xuanye Flying Blade and resolving Ye Fan’s attack, Leng Feng was in no hurry to defeat Ye Fan, but started to humiliate him, "In my view, with your strength, you’re not even qualified to be an opponent for me and Emperor Bai!"

"Is that so?"

Ye Fan simply smiled, "That was just a warm-up, I hope you can continue to be this relaxed moving forward."

Warm-up?!

Upon hearing this word, the vast Tian Shan Sword Sect plaza instantly fell silent.

Although Leng Feng had just dismissed Ye Fan’s flying knife attack as worthless, including many strong people, everyone deep down still respected Ye Fan for his ability to use the Flying Knife Assassination at the Innate Great Perfection Realm and display such power.

In such a situation, when Ye Fan said that he was just warming up, the majority were shocked!

"The attack power displayed by the disciple of the Evil Emperor just now was enough to make the overlords of the Half-step Gang Qi realm cautious. How could it have been just a warm-up?"

"Maybe it’s true, otherwise the disciple of the Evil Emperor wouldn’t appear so confident. Also, the Evil Emperor wouldn’t have wagered his own life on it!"

After a brief silence, the crowd started to become restless, everyone discussing and expressing their opinions. Some thought Ye Fan was bluffing, while others believed that Ye Fan really had just been warming up.

Among them, the cultivators around the ring and the participants in the stands almost unanimously thought that Ye Fan was bluffing. After all, the difference between warming up and going all out was just too enormous!

In their view, even if Ye Fan had not used his full strength, he had demonstrated his signature skill, and it should not have been just a warm-up.

Unlike them, Emperor Bai and many other strong people in the stands believed Ye Fan’s words.

Because, in their view, only if what Ye Fan said was true—that the attack was just a warm-up—would he have the right to disdain Leng Feng!

"Everyone can talk big, but I hope you’re not just bluffing."

On the stage, Leng Feng’s expression was very ugly.

Just now, he had subjectively thought that Ye Fan had run out of tricks, hence his derisive words, dismissing Ye Fan’s Flying Knife Assassination Technique as worthless, but now Ye Fan was saying it was just a warm-up, which was like a silent slap in his face!

This made him extremely irritated, but for safety’s sake, he refrained from rashly launching an attack—if Ye Fan’s words were true and he recklessly attacked, closing in on Ye Fan, then Ye Fan’s use of a faster and more powerful Flying Knife Assassination would make it very difficult for him to dodge, and he might just capsize in the gutter.

This was something he did not want to see; he wanted to completely control the match, assess Ye Fan’s strength first, then execute a killing blow!

"I said earlier, you might not be able to push me to my extreme combat power, and now it seems, indeed, there is still a gap between you and Emperor Bai."

As the saying goes, one leaves foretells the coming of autumn. Ye Fan had crossed hands with Emperor Bai before and knew Emperor Bai’s strength very well. Through his recent exchange with Leng Feng, he could see that Leng Feng’s combat power was still not as good as Emperor Bai’s three months ago.

"Aren’t you afraid your tongue might catch the wind?"

Leng Feng and Emperor Bai were hailed as the two great talents of their generation, which was both an honor and a pressure.

Leng Feng had been diligently cultivating all this time, hoping one day to defeat Emperor Bai to make the two great talents a thing of the past and reign supreme among the younger generation.

At this moment, Ye Fan not only said that Leng Feng couldn’t push him to his limit but also said that Leng Feng was inferior to Emperor Bai—this was like a sharp knife stabbed into Leng Feng’s heart, infuriating him immensely!

Whoosh!

After a loud shout, Leng Feng, fueled by rage, changed strategy, from passive to active. With a flash, he pounced towards Ye Fan.

Swoosh!!

Just then...

a sharper sound of breaking air rang out!

The Xuanye Flying Blade appeared again as Ye Fan began to fight seriously!
