Chapter 453: Chapter 450 Huang Tianyi

"How audacious! To commit such violent acts in broad daylight—what kind of behavior is this?"

Huang Tianyi’s expression immediately grew grim upon hearing the words of the three men with hooked noses; who dared to provoke the members of the Gentleman Sect within the Inner Sect? To think that these three were beaten black and blue, and left with broken wrists. It was a direct challenge to the authority of the Gentleman Sect.

"Gentleman Sect, if you claim to be gentlemen, then you should be clear on what’s right and wrong and fully understand the situation before you speak."

Ye Xuan paid no mind to Huang Tianyi’s howls. The Gentleman Sect, it seemed, was nothing more than a den of miasma, willing to accept anyone. Such men dared to call themselves gentlemen; truly bizarre.

"What’s there to say? Facts prove everything. We of the Gentleman Sect prefer not to resort to violence, but you’ve injured our people. Now, immediately compensate with thirty thousand Spirit Crystals and apologize to these three junior brothers of mine, and we can let this go."

Huang Tianyi watched Ye Xuan with the posture of a superior, his tone commanding, as if he were a master addressing a servant.

"Thirty thousand Spirit Crystals? Huang Tianyi is quite ruthless."

"Heh, is this your first time encountering someone from the Gentleman Sect? Though they call themselves gentlemen, they’re anything but; even if they are gentlemen, they’re merely pretenders, using their power to oppress others without the true essence of a gentleman."

"Indeed, the Gentleman Sect has always been overbearing within the Inner Sect, extorting everywhere with even more viciousness than the Crown Prince Party."

"Alas, this kid has run afoul of the Gentleman Sect. He should’ve just humbled himself and stepped back; then he wouldn’t have provoked Huang Tianyi, this ruthless man."

Inside the dining hall, many Inner Sect Disciples were also shaking their heads after witnessing this scene. This wasn’t the first time they’d seen such incidents.

"And what if I refuse?"

Ye Xuan certainly couldn’t agree to such an unreasonable demand. Thirty thousand Spirit Crystals—setting aside the fact that he didn’t have them, even if he did, he wouldn’t hand them over.

"Then I’ll have to give you a taste of hardship. Gentlemen customarily settle matters with words rather than fists, but for a brute like you, I have no choice but to fight violence with violence."

Huang Tianyi sneered coldly, and immediately unfurled his folding fan, which, without a word, extended blades from its tip, thrusting straight at Ye Xuan’s throat.

"It’s best if you stop mentioning the word ’gentleman,’ for you don’t even qualify as a false gentleman."

Ye Xuan drew the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword and blocked the fan with it. In an instant, sparks of dazzling brilliance flew between them, scattering in all directions.

"A mere Martial Sect, deigns to pass judgment? Spring and Autumn War Poem, break for me!"

True Yuan surged from Huang Tianyi’s arm into the folding fan, repelling Ye Xuan’s Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword. Four lines of war poems suddenly shone from the fan, each one seeming to possess great power, producing four immense Light Swords that shot toward Ye Xuan.

"Five-layered Sword Power!"

Facing such an onslaught, Ye Xuan was extremely solemn. His opponent was a core member of the Gentleman Sect, an elite disciple of the Inner Sect, not to be taken lightly. Twisting his wrist, he layered sword Qi on top of sword Qi—a total of five layers—boldly confronting it head-on.

Bang!

War poems and sword Qi burst forth, instantly shattering two nearby dining tables into splinters, leaving a mess in their wake.

"Five Virtues Poem, slay!"

Huang Tianyi twisted the fan again, releasing waves of light that were even more formidable. The battle poems, filled with the grand righteousness of the Five Elements, shot at Ye Xuan once more. With a rich ancient aura, the Way of the Five Virtues, rooted in Ancient Martial Arts, suggested formidable power.

Ye Xuan grasped the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword backward and slashed a golden arc of thunderous sword Qi. Then, with his left hand, he struck out with a move—Ancestral Dragon’s Torment—sending a vast dragon shadow surging forward, lifting the floorboards, and breaking the oppression of the war poem.

"Can this kid actually stand against Brother Huang?"

The three hooked-nosed men of the Gentleman Sect were shocked at the scene. Huang Tianyi, an elite Inner Sect disciple of the Gentleman Sect and a Third Grade Martial Venerable, was being matched by Ye Xuan, a Sixth Grade Martial Venerable—it was simply unbelievable.

"Kid, you’ve got some skills, but a Martial Sect is just that. Surely you don’t think you have a chance against me?"

Huang Tianyi chuckled dismissively, an unprecedentedly powerful ripple suddenly erupting from him. In the next moment, both from his mouth and the fan emerged incredibly potent auras, and behind Huang Tianyi appeared a massive ancient book.

"Is that a Martial Soul? Huang Tianyi’s Martial Soul, is it that very ancient book?"

The moment Ye Xuan saw the ancient book, he too was slightly taken aback. It was not unheard of for a Martial Soul to take the form of a book, and it appeared that Huang Tianyi came from a powerful ancient Martial Arts family. The released power of the Martial Soul substantially augmented his combat strength.

"Boy, as a Martial Venerate Expert, what I’m most proud of is the power of my Martial Soul. Now, with the power of my Martial Soul, I will completely crush you!"

Huang Tianyi didn’t care about the indignity of crushing lower realms; victory mattered most. He was not Gu He of the Dragon Sect’s three trials, nor was he Leng Wusheng of Spirit Frost Pavilion. His only goal was to defeat Ye Xuan and make the latter submit completely.

When Huang Tianyi mobilized his Martial Soul, his aura suddenly surged. Enveloped by this aura, Ye Xuan’s face also became unprecedentedly solemn, knowing that if he didn’t go all out, the opponent’s strike was strong enough to inflict severe injury on him.

"Soul-breaking Light!"

Ye Xuan’s brow shone as he stimulated his Heavenly Realm soul power to its limit. The soul power burst forth from his brow like a shooting star’s ray, slamming out fiercely.

Boom!

This clash was even more tumultuous. The glass around them shattered into pieces, and Ye Xuan himself was forced back, spitting out strands of fresh blood under the suppression of the ancient book Martial Soul. He retreated more than a dozen meters before finally stabilizing his figure.

"Foolish boy, it’s like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

The previously sneering hawk-nosed man chuckled coldly. Huang Tianyi had even released his Martial Soul, which was honor enough for Ye Xuan. Yet the latter didn’t flee, but instead stubbornly received such a fierce attack; he was likely severely injured by now.

Pfft!

However, just when the hawk-nosed man was sneering, the seemingly unharmed Huang Tianyi suddenly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. A clearly visible gap appeared on the giant ancient book Martial Soul behind him, and ripples leaked from the gap. This breach had been inflicted by Ye Xuan’s Soul-breaking Light, directly damaging Huang Tianyi’s Martial Soul.

"How is this possible, Brother Huang is injured!"

The three onlookers were horrified as if they had seen a ghost.

"You little bastard, daring to injure my Martial Soul, I will tear you apart today!"

Huang Tianyi’s face darkened immediately after his Martial Soul was injured by Ye Xuan. In his eyes, Ye Xuan was no more than an ant, posing no threat at all. Yet this ’ant’ had managed to injure his Martial Soul. Although the gap appeared small, it was an injury to the Martial Soul, making it more difficult to heal than if he had been stabbed in the body.

The rushing sounds of his True Yuan were fiercely stimulated by Huang Tianyi. The ancient book behind him suddenly flipped open, and dense malevolent energy emanated from the pages. The text from a dozen lines were infused with True Yuan, forming a thick blood-colored light spear.

In an instant, malevolence soared, and what was already a fierce battle seemed to turn into a fight to the death.

"Brother Huang is going for broke. Does he intend to kill the kid?"

Seeing this turn of events, the trio of the hawk-nosed man became anxious. If Ye Xuan were to be killed and it caused a death, the nature of the situation would change. Huang Tianyi was a core member of the Gentleman Sect with a strong background, he might get away with it, but the three of them could end up expelled from the Xuantian Sect.

As the blood-colored light spear appeared, Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank, realizing Huang Tianyi truly intended to disregard the consequences. With the desperate strike of a Third Grade Martial Venerable, even if he did his utmost, it was unlikely he’d be a match.

But with the arrow nocked, he had to release it. Huang Tianyi was already charging at him, and Ye Xuan had no choice but to lift the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, while unsheathing the Spiritual Edge Sword, and unleash a cross slash.

Boom!

The sword light collided with the blood-colored light spear, and the explosive Qi Force shattered one side of the cafeteria. The sword light shattered abruptly, and the blood-colored light spear pierced through the void, striking Ye Xuan hard.

Pfft!

A mist of blood spurted out, and Ye Xuan’s body shot backward, scraping a deep mark on the ground, his aura becoming quite disarrayed. After knocking over two large trees, he finally managed to stop.

Feeling the tumbling blood Qi in his body and the numbness in his arm, Ye Xuan smiled wryly. The gap between him and Huang Tianyi was a full four levels, and the latter had also utilized the power of his Martial Soul. Under these circumstances, defeat was inevitable.

Perhaps only the power of the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, deep within him, could turn the tide of this battle. But currently, that thread of the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit was out of his control, only appearing in moments of extreme peril.

"This kid sure is tough."

Seeing Ye Xuan miraculously survive, the trio with the hawk-nosed man breathed a sigh of relief. A smile soon appeared on their faces – as long as Ye Xuan wasn’t dead, it was all good. They were happy to watch Ye Xuan get brutally beaten by Huang Tianyi, as it served as revenge for them.

"Brat, I’m going to cripple you today! This is what happens when you offend the Gentleman Sect!"

Huang Tianyi sneered viciously, all pretense of nobility gone, transformed into a pure thug. After unleashing his ultimate move and injuring Ye Xuan, a relentless assault followed. Another blood spear condensed on the ancient book Martial Soul and Huang Tianyi grasped it in his hand, then violently thrust it towards Ye Xuan.
