Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 289: So Formidable

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: So Formidable

Although he already knew Yang Tian was skilled in both magic and martial arts since the Su Family contacted him, he never expected Yang Tian’s magical cultivation to be so formidable.

Not only did the Demon Flames he unleashed match his Wind Blade in power, but Yang Tian clearly didn’t even bother to activate a spell!

"I didn’t expect your magical cultivation to be so profound, to the point that you can match me at this level!" Lu Yuanming took a deep breath and spoke.

"Match you?"

Yang Tian, upon hearing this, merely shook his head slightly and said, "You’re overestimating yourself!"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Lu Yuanming, hearing Yang Tian’s words, immediately looked toward where the Demon Flames and Wind Blade clashed, only to see that the Demon Flames unleashed by Yang Tian didn’t extinguish due to the collision. Instead, they burned even more intensely, fanned by the wind.

Soon, that single flame suddenly grew exponentially, transforming into a massive sea of Skyfire, surging toward Lu Yuanming.

"Wind-Generated Fire? Impossible!"

Seeing this, Lu Yuanming’s face changed dramatically.

He hadn’t expected Yang Tian’s magic to not only be powerful but also so cleverly executed that it directly countered his Wind Element magic with Fire Element techniques!

What did this signify?

It signified that Yang Tian struck later than him.

This required more precise judgment, unparalleled magical control, and faster casting speed!

Clearly, Yang Tian held the upper hand in all these aspects!

Though their initial clash left him at a disadvantage, as the First Magic Master, Lu Yuanming didn’t allow himself to lose composure.

Instead, in this moment, he became even calmer, his fingers quickly forming intricate movements.

Soon, the Wind Blades scattered by the Demon Flames gathered again, swirling around the flames and absorbing the surrounding moisture.

In mere moments, the Wind Blades had fully united, and the condensed moisture grew heavier and thicker, eventually forming a massive water dragon nearly tens of meters long. With a deafening roar, it charged at the Demon Flames.

Hiss!

A violent plume of steam erupted as water and fire collided, and the water dragon vanished into the air, extinguishing Yang Tian’s Demon Flames completely.

Phew!

Seeing this, Lu Yuanming finally exhaled deeply, then sighed, "Young man, I truly underestimated you! I didn’t expect someone known for dominating the martial arts world in the mainland to possess such remarkable magical cultivation. When I was your age, I was still an ignorant child. I salute you!"

"I already said, since you’ve chosen to stand in my way, prepare to die!"

Yang Tian spoke with an unbothered expression.

Although Lu Yuanming’s method of extinguishing the Demon Flames was undeniably sophisticated,

it could not conceal the fact that with just a single move, Yang Tian forced him into such chaos!

For this reason, Yang Tian had nothing else to say. If someone dared to block his path, they deserved death!

Hearing Yang Tian’s blunt words, Lu Yuanming shook his head with a laugh and said, "Haha, young people are sure bold! Just a probing strike, and you’re already so confident? In that case, I won’t hold back anymore. Let me show you why I, Lu Yuanming, have stood firmly at the pinnacle of magic in Taiwan for so many years!"

As he spoke, Lu Yuanming’s figure began hovering in mid-air once more. His robe flared with violent movement, generating sharp, unsettling noises.

Moreover, everyone could clearly see his originally black pupils gradually turn pale, merging into an eerie shade of pure white.

It was as if his sclera and iris had fused completely, creating an utterly horrifying sight!

Witnessing this, all cultivators present who had deep knowledge of magic held their breath and focused their full attention.

For they understood that the true battle was about to begin!

And right from the start, Lu Yuanming was preparing to unleash his ultimate move!

"Young man, legends tell of ancient cultivators who defied heaven and earth, challenging fate itself. To punish them, heaven unleashed its Thunder Penalty upon them. Now, allow me to show you what I have mastered through decades of painstaking cultivation—Heavenly Thunder Punishment!"

With these words, Lu Yuanming’s pupils radiated a blinding white light, and his right hand raised, pointing directly at Yang Tian.

Heavenly Thunder Punishment?

Hearing Lu Yuanming’s words, everyone’s expressions shifted to awe as their gaze fixated on the finger he extended toward Yang Tian.

The nature’s spiritual energy rolling across it surged with violent intensity, crackling like explosive thunder.

Alongside the noise, the air around Lu Yuanming quickly transformed into howling winds, seemingly altering the very atmosphere of heaven and earth.

After an unknown duration of accumulation, when Lu Yuanming ascended to the same height as Yang Tian, a bolt of white lightning as thick as an arm shot forth, swift as a sudden strike, crashing directly toward Yang Tian.

"It’s here! It’s here! This is the ultimate move of Master Lu, the strongest magic—the Heavenly Thunder Punishment!" exclaimed a magic user familiar with Lu Yuanming, his voice trembling with excitement.

The crowd erupted in shock.

The ability to control Heavenly Thunder?

What kind of supreme might was this!

In their eyes, Lu Yuanming, who could summon such magic, was tantamount to a deity!

"To command Heavenly Thunder— Master Lu is worthy of reigning as the godlike figure atop Taiwan’s magical world!"

"Such godlike power—who could possibly resist it?"

"Master Lu is invincible!"

As soon as Lu Yuanming unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Punishment, all present elevated him to an unparalleled status in their hearts.

Grandmaster Su, who had been gripping the armrest of his Taishi Chair since the battle began, finally loosened his grip and faintly smiled, saying, "This bout is decided!"

Decided?

Su Heng and other Su Family members surrounding Grandmaster Su broke into smiles upon hearing his words.

Though they lacked the Grandmaster’s cultivation expertise, they held his judgment in absolute trust.

Now, as the crowd marveled at Lu Yuanming’s ultimate move, and Grandmaster Su declared victory,

the match seemed completely settled in their eyes!

BOOM!

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, that thick white lightning mercilessly struck Yang Tian, creating a monstrous roar of thunder.

From beginning to end, Yang Tian made no effort to defend himself.

Was the Heavenly Thunder Punishment simply too fast?

Or had he been completely overwhelmed by Lu Yuanming’s technique, unable to retaliate?

Regardless, everyone believed Yang Tian was finished!

Lu Yuanming, too, exhaled lightly and landed back on the ground, sighing, "How tragic! Such talent and power at such a young age. You could have achieved so much more, but it ends here."

With these words, Lu Yuanming turned and flicked his sleeve, preparing to leave.

After all, his intention was to kill Yang Tian and avenge his disciple.

Now that Yang Tian was dead, his mission was complete.

Grandmaster Su rose with the Su Family members, giving Lu Yuanming a distant bow of gratitude for his intervention.

Spectators surrounding them gazed at Lu Yuanming with reverence, some eager to approach and express their admiration.

"What... What is that?"

Just as Lu Yuanming took his first step away and the onlookers celebrated, Sunx Yuan suddenly pointed toward the dissipating thundercloud and exclaimed in shock.

Lu Yuanming frowned at this, glancing upwards, and he froze in place.

Because at that moment, the thunderstorm had cleared,

and Yang Tian stood there, unwavering and expressionless, not even a crease on his robes.

The only visible change was a layer of black Demon Flames slowly fading from his body, resembling a sinister piece of armor dissipating.
