Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 231 Important Link

Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Important Link

His hand, with razor-sharp claws, had now completely turned blood-red, exuding a cold glow. Even as they moved through the air, they emitted an ear-piercing screech.

This was the sound of sharp claws tearing through the air, and it was also the deathly weapon Robert prepared to slash through Yang Tian’s throat in the next second!

"Looks like it’s time for me to step in!"

At the very moment Xiao Kuo and the other two unleashed their strongest killing moves, back on the loft where the delinquent Qing Luan and the sunglasses-wearing Red Wolf had stood earlier...

A man with a cold, stern face tightened every muscle in his body, ready to strike with explosive force.

If Qing Luan and Red Wolf had been there, they would immediately recognize him as the leader they had mentioned—someone capable of going toe-to-toe with Robert!

"This trip was far from wasted. At first, I thought the master’s praise for Yang Tian was exaggerated, but now it seems that while Yang Tian might not truly be the strongest Martial King in China, he’s not far from it!"

"The only caveat is that this boy has never faced a real life-and-death battle. His victories largely stem from others underestimating him—Wolf King fell to this, and so did Hanzo!"

"But after killing two Innate experts in succession, I doubt Xiao Kuo, Robert, or Alice would be foolish enough to make the same mistake. With these three combining their full strength, forget Yang Tian—even Shen Bangguo himself might struggle to fend them off!"

Thoughts raced through the cold man’s mind as he instantly propelled himself forward like a bullet, launching toward Yang Tian and the others.

Though he disdained Yang Tian’s arrogance...

The man knew Yang Tian was central to the master’s grand hundred-year plan of revitalizing China!

He also understood Yang Tian’s limitless potential, marking him as the leading figure of China’s new generation!

He couldn’t allow Yang Tian to die here. At the same time, if necessary, he planned to teach Yang Tian a hard lesson about what defines a true powerhouse!

Just as the man shot forward, Yang Tian made his move!

He released the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, clenched his fist, and stepped directly toward Xiao Kuo’s punch, casually saying: "Demon Slaughter Second Style, Evil-breaking!"

BOOM!

Yang Tian’s fist, radiating black light, instantly dispersed the Death Entanglement Alice had bound him with and collided directly with Xiao Kuo’s fist.

"A fist-to-fist clash? Courting death!"

Seeing Yang Tian choosing to meet him barehanded instead of relying on the deadly Heavenly Slash, Xiao Kuo sneered coldly.

But in the next instant, he suddenly felt an unrelenting force emanating from Yang Tian’s fist, preventing his own from advancing even an inch. In that moment, Yang Tian’s fist seemed to transform into an immovable barrier, blocking Xiao Kuo’s flood-like punch entirely.

"This... how could this happen?"

Stunned, Xiao Kuo stared at Yang Tian. Yang Tian then spoke calmly, "Third one."

Third one?

What third one?

Just as Xiao Kuo found himself perplexed, he suddenly saw a surge of black light erupt from Yang Tian’s fist. The barrier-like force transformed instantly into overpowering floodwaters!

While Xiao Kuo’s punch might have felt like unstoppable torrents, under Yang Tian’s Devil Essence it was akin to a lone, fragile canoe in a vast ocean—quickly and utterly engulfed.

"So... so the third one refers to me?"

With a trace of both unwillingness and fear, Xiao Kuo’s arms exploded like firecrackers, and his entire body was pulverized into a bloody mess by Yang Tian’s single strike.

*Hiss!*

Witnessing Xiao Kuo’s fate, Count Robert sharply inhaled in shock.

This was already the third Innate expert slain by Yang Tian!

Such consecutive deaths among Innate elites were scenes Robert had never encountered in his lifetime—yet it only fueled his ferocity.

With a loud roar, Robert sprouted black wings from his back and bared his fangs in savage rage, declaring grimly, "Kid, you are indeed strong, but you don’t understand what the Blood Clan is! We can consume the blood of the strong, growing even more powerful during battle—an invincible existence!"

As he spoke, Robert opened his mouth wide, drawing streaks of glowing blood from the lifeless bodies of Wolf King, Hanzo, and Xiao Kuo. These crimson droplets transformed into three globules of blood, which Robert swallowed in one gulp.

Instantly, Robert’s aura amplified tremendously, more than doubling. With overwhelming confidence, he charged directly at Yang Tian.

Empowered by the amplified strength, Robert now aimed to devour Yang Tian and bring this battle to an end.

"Consume, huh?"

Yang Tian, observing Robert’s assault, said blandly, "No one understands devouring... better than me!"

*Flash!*

As those words fell, Yang Tian’s figure instantly appeared beside Robert, placing a palm squarely on Robert’s chest.

Suddenly, Robert’s originally overwhelming power was wholly absorbed into Yang Tian, leaving Robert as nothing more than a shriveled corpse, which crumpled lifelessly to the ground.

It was at that moment, the cold-faced man on the loft finally arrived at the battlefield’s edge.

Seeing Yang Tian kill two supremely powerful foes in such a short span, the man froze with utter disbelief.

Facing Yang Tian, the cold-faced man was left with but two words on his face: awkward!

A glaring and unmistakable awkwardness!

Where was the nearest hole to crawl into?

The distance between the loft and this desolate villa was about five hundred meters.

For an average man running at full pace, this would take two or three minutes.

For figures like this cold man, however, it should only require an instant—less than two seconds!

Yet in the mere two seconds it took for him to arrive...

Yang Tian effortlessly killed two Innate elites.

The cold-faced man’s usual unflappable expression shattered entirely.

"This boy has never faced a real life-and-death battle. His victories largely stem from others underestimating him."

"Killing two Innate experts in succession, I doubt Xiao Kuo, Robert, or Alice would be foolish enough to make the same mistake. With these three combining their full strength, forget Yang Tian—even Shen Bangguo might struggle to fend them off!"

Recalling his earlier remarks before setting off, the cold-faced man felt like an absolute joke!

Such power. Such technique. Such ruthless decisiveness.

Would it have mattered if Yang Tian’s enemies hadn’t underestimated him?

The cold-faced man stood there, frozen.

Yang Tian didn’t spare him a single glance. Instead, his calm, unwavering gaze turned toward the lone survivor—a woman who had been among the five elite fighters sent to hunt him.

The Demon King Hall’s protector, Dark Superpower User Alice!

Under Yang Tian’s unflinching gaze, Alice trembled uncontrollably, completely stripped of her usual Dark Queen elegance and pride.

What manner of existence was this?

Xiao Kuo, Wolf King, Hanzo, Count Robert!

All five of them, internationally renowned Innate elites.

Not one of them comparable to Grey Valley County’s Shangguan Jingyun at an early-stage Innate Martial King. Each one bore the strength of the Innate Peak level!

Robert himself had even reached the legendary level akin to Luo Wenchang!

Yet these five superpowered titans had crumbled before Yang Tian as though they were fragile chickens and dogs—silenced with laughable ease!

And throughout it all, Yang Tian’s expression had remained utterly unchanged. He hadn’t even shifted his position by a single step!

What did this signify?

It meant that even with five of the world’s top Innate elites teaming up to kill him, none came close to forcing Yang Tian to reveal his true strength!

But what truly unnerved Alice was the sheer darkness of Yang Tian’s power as he devoured Robert.

As a Dark Superpower User, Alice was exceptionally attuned to darkness and had always considered her command of it the strongest and purest.

Yet in the instant Yang Tian’s hand absorbed Robert’s energy, Alice felt Yang Tian exude a darkness colder and more terrifying than any she had ever encountered in her life!
