"Wen Tianyu, you despicable wretch!" Seeing Wen Tianyu appear, Han Tai’s eyes immediately turned red.
Ye Zhen’s gaze suddenly became exceptionally cold, and the intent to kill unreservedly showed itself, "Mr. Wen, it seems it really was you who tipped off the Tiannan Huaa Family!"
Looking at Han Tai’s reddened eyes and then at Ye Zhen, who looked like he could kill him, Wen Tianyu’s expression grew even more triumphant.
"How could that be? As fellow sect siblings, how could I do something that incurs the wrath of the heavens and the people’s hatred? Haha!"
"However, I am quite happy for Disciple Luluo to be able to marry into a noble family like the Tiannan Huaa Family! Of course, it’s much better than marrying trash like you!"
In the midst of talking, Wen Tianyu suddenly leaned in close to Ye Zhen and said sinisterly, "Mr. Zheng, if I can’t have something, don’t you even think about having it! Hahaha...."
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Wen Tianyu’s smug look, rage surged within Ye Zhen, and as he shouted furiously, spiritual power wildly surged around him.
"Mr. Zheng, I’m just itching for you to make a move against me, come on!"
"If you’re a man, come at me! Watch and see if I don’t beat you so hard you’ll be looking for your teeth on the ground!" Seeing Ye Zhen ready to attack, Wen Tianyu grew even more brazen.
"Brother Zheng, don’t fall for it, that Wen fellow is up to no good. You’ve only just reached the Spirit Transformation Realm First Stage, while he’s already at the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage Peak," Han Tai advised.
"Getting cold feet, are you?"
Wen Tianyu sneered maliciously and, leaning forward, whispered to Ye Zhen, "You guessed it; the butler from the Tiannan Huaa Family was indeed contacted by me, and I even sent over a portrait of Luluo!"
"Shameless!"
In an instant, spiritual power flashed around Ye Zhen, and he smashed a fist towards Wen Tianyu.
"Hmm, just waiting for you to make a move. You, who’ve just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, dare to strike at me; I’ll beat you to a pulp!"
The smile of a successful scheme appeared on Wen Tianyu’s face, and with a flash of sword light, a fierce Sword Gang struck towards Ye Zhen like lightning. He launched his attack with a killing move, clearly well-prepared.
"Is that so?"
With a turn of spiritual power in his Dantian, the surging Spiritual Power within Ye Zhen completely erupted, and the Green Jade Spirit Armor suddenly surfaced on his body.
"Spirit Transformation Second Stage?"
"He’s already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage? How so quickly?" Sensing the aura bursting from Ye Zhen, Han Tai’s mouth gaped wide, and even Wen Tianyu’s face showed a trace of surprise.
As witnesses at that auction, Wen Tianyu and Han Tai very well understood that it was just over five months ago when Ye Zhen obtained that Spirit Storage Pill and was able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Normally, to break through from the Spirit Transformation Realm First Stage to the Second Stage, even for someone with high innate talent and plentiful cultivation resources from a noble family, it could take consuming several hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals to possibly make the breakthrough within a year.
For most martial artists, breaking through from the Spirit Transformation Realm First Stage to the Second Stage, if quick, takes a year or two, and taking three to four years is quite normal.
In the high sky, True Person Bixin, who had just arrived, was also taken aback by the burst of aura from Ye Zhen. He had seen fast cultivators, but never one this quick.
In fact, it wasn’t so much that Ye Zhen’s talent was extraordinarily high; rather, the key was the cultivation technique, decided by the properties of the Shattered Jade Scripture!
Most cultivation techniques cultivate Spiritual Power that is extremely sharp and violent, causing self-harm before harming others, especially when circulating too quickly through the meridians.
Martial artists need to improve their cultivation while nurturing their meridians at a pace that can’t be too fast; if it’s too fast and continuous, internal injuries will develop from cultivation.
However, the Jade Spirit Power cultivated through Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Scripture did not have this problem.
The characteristic of Jade Spirit Power is gentle and nurturing. When circulating at high speed, it basically does not damage Ye Zhen’s meridians, unless he pushes the Jade Spirit Power to the limit and feels a burning sensation in his meridians.
In such a case, the speed of Ye Zhen’s cultivation is virtually limitless.
In other words, as long as Ye Zhen has enough Red Spirit Jade and sufficient time, his cultivation can rapidly progress without having to nurture his meridians like other martial artists, who essentially are performing two tasks at once.
This feature of the Shattered Jade Scripture was something Ye Zhen had only recently comprehended.
"Hmph, even if you’ve broken through to Spirit Transformation Second Stage, you’re still trash before me!"
Wen Tianyu scowled, channeling nearly all of his spiritual power into that sword, determined to pay back the humiliation Ye Zhen had inflicted upon him.
Just thinking of that day at the Divine Capital’s auction, Wen Tianyu’s face burned with embarrassment.
"Let’s see who is... the trash!"
With a push off his right foot, Ye Zhen pounced towards Wen Tianyu like a swift leopard, actually charging head-on toward the sword attack without dodging.
"Brother Zheng, you..." Han Tai cried out in shock.
Not only was Han Tai astonished, but even True Person Bixin in the sky was greatly surprised, not understanding why.
Even the True Disciples guarding the unremarkable peak afar showed looks of alarm; wasn’t this courting death?
"Die!"
Whoosh!
Bang!
The ferocious Sword Gang struck viciously at Ye Zhen’s neck, aiming to decapitate him with one blow.
But in reality... sparks flew!
The Sword Gang struck the Green Jade Spirit Armor on Ye Zhen, which did not even waver, while Wen Tianyu’s Sword Gang instantly extinguished.
Due to the close distance, Wen Tianyu’s Low Grade Treasure Sword also struck hard on the Green Jade Spirit Armor, sparking a trail of embers.
Then, Wen Tianyu saw Ye Zhen’s massive fist growing infinitely larger in his eyes.
What was most important was that, at the very moment the fist struck, Ye Zhen’s left hand lightly flicked out a finger.
Floating Cloud Finger!
Spurt!
The Protective Spirit Force around Wen Tianyu was torn like paper.
Bang!
Ye Zhen’s fist smashed viciously into Wen Tianyu’s eye socket, instantly splattering blood in all directions.
Hiss!
A collective gasp of shock rose instantly.
Because to everyone watching, it appeared as though Ye Zhen had punched through Wen Tianyu’s Protective Spirit Force with one blow, then smashed his fist into Wen Tianyu’s face, blooming like a peach blossom.
Wen Tianyu was a martial artist at the Peak of the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
And Ye Zhen, who had just broken through to the Second Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was beating Wen Tianyu like thrashing a small chicken, creating an undeniable shock.
Of course, True Person Bixin, hovering high above, saw the truth of the matter, but nevertheless, he was extremely surprised. Being able to withstand a full-powered strike of a martial artist at the Peak of the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was enough to leave anyone dumbfounded.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Ye Zhen straddled Wen Tianyu’s chest, his fists, large as vinegar bowls, were raised and smashed down viciously, lifted, then smashed down again; each punch flesh and blood flew in all directions.
"I’ll beat you to death, you shameless scoundrel!"
"How dare you, you bastard, to plot against your fellow disciples!"
"Since you’ve lost all shame, I’ll thoroughly smash your face!"
Poor Wen Tianyu was just gathering his Divine Sense in his Dantian, attempting to summon Spiritual Power to counterattack, when he was thumped on the head by Ye Zhen’s punch.
This punch was not that of an ordinary person, but a terrifying blow from a martial artist in the Spirit Transformation Realm, infused with Spiritual Power. Even before breaking through to the True Essence Realm, Ye Zhen’s punch could deliver a force of four to five thousand jins.
If combined with Spiritual Power, even if he didn’t use a Martial Skill and held back a little, one punch would deliver a force of twenty thousand jins.
Being hit in the forehead by a heavy punch of twenty thousand jins felt like being hammered by a thousand-jin hammer thousands of times, causing Wen Tianyu to see stars, his mind to reel, and utterly unable to gather his wits to counterattack.
It was fortunate that Wen Tianyu was a peak martial artist of the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He had already completed the Bone Transformation and Blood Transformation, his bones as durable as Hundred-refined Fine Gold, his flesh exceptionally tough.
Otherwise, just a few punches from Ye Zhen could have claimed his life.
Even so, the skin and flesh on his forehead and cheeks were blown away under Ye Zhen’s deliberate pounding, and in just a moment, Wen Tianyu’s face turned into a bloody mess.
The intense shaking left Wen Tianyu’s consciousness unclear.
"You bastard, have the guts to fight back! Huh?"
Bang!
This scene left Han Tai in shock and stunned the watching disciples of the Qingluo Sect more and more.
They had seen violence, but this level of brutality was unprecedented.
This was not martial arts sparring, it was akin to pile driving!
"Who are you, and stop immediately! Daring to assault a True Disciple of our Qingluo Sect, do you not wish to live?"
A Qingluo Sect disciple with a rather stern and imposing appearance stepped forward to stop Ye Zhen, rousing the other disciples to anger, shouting nonstop, their Spiritual Power bursting forth, menacingly advancing!
No matter what Wen Tianyu did wrong, he was one of the Qingluo Sect, and they would not tolerate an outsider like Ye Zhen teach him a lesson.
In an instant, many Qingluo Sect disciples brought endless pressure upon Ye Zhen, forcing him to ease his assault.
If those dozen or so True Disciples in the Spirit Transformation Realm were to swarm him, even someone as strong as Ye Zhen might be overwhelmed.
As Ye Zhen eased up, Wen Tianyu caught his breath.
However, he was already confused, dazed, and infuriated to the point of being shamefully beaten to death by the pounding.
A strong warrior of the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with a bunch of disciple followers, was laid low by the crude punch of someone else. Even if this incident were to pass, Wen Tianyu’s face would be completely lost, ruined beyond recall.
"Keep hitting, continue hitting!"
"Brother Zheng, if you have the guts, keep hitting me! If you’re a man, beat me to death! I don’t believe you can leave the Qingluo Sect alive today!
To dare smack the face of our Qingluo Sect, you’re the first, keep going if you’ve got the guts!"
Ye Zhen’s expression turned excruciatingly cold as he looked up at True Person Bixin in the sky. True Person Bixin nodded at him, his eyes filled with approval.
"As long as you don’t beat him to death, I’ll take care of the end," True Person Bixin’s voice transmission rang in Ye Zhen’s mind.
With this promise, Ye Zhen felt greatly reassured. He had already thought of a way out, but now with True Person Bixin’s support, it was like double insurance.
Seeing that Ye Zhen did not move for a long time, Wen Tianyu thought that he had chickened out, gotten scared, and was intimidated by him.
"Come on, why aren’t you hitting anymore!"
"The portrait of your fiancée Luluo was personally delivered to the Housekeeper of the Tiannan Flower King by me. I personally put a green hat on you. What can you do to me, what can you..."
Bang!
Ye Zhen’s fist was raised high and smashed down hard, the sound of splattering blood and Wen Tianyu’s scream echoed together.
"Hmph, Wen Tianyu, you truly are shameless, and now you have admitted it yourself! Just a few days ago, you beat me up over this!"
Han Tai roared at just the right moment, which left the previously united Qingluo Sect disciples dumbfounded by this explosive news.
"Brother Wen, you should feel lucky. If we weren’t in the Qingluo Sect, you would have been beaten to death by me a thousand times over by now! Today, I’ll beat you till you’re crippled!"
Amidst the roaring, Ye Zhen’s fists hammered down ruthlessly once more.
An angry roar came from a peak of the Qingluo Sect, finally alerting Wen Tianyu’s master, True Master Tianzhu.
"Audacious scoundrel, daring to run wild in my Qingluo Sect, I shall strike you down first!" A stunning streak of light rose from a peak, carrying a dreadful momentum, and rapidly charged toward Ye Zhen.(To be continued.
