"You little punk, die!"

Ji Lingtian bellowed furiously, his foot tapped the ground, and his whole body soared into the air, lightning-fast as he charged towards Ye Luo, with a palm gathering all his True Qi surged out.

"Lingyun Sword Technique, Sword that Breaks the Heavens!"

Ye Luo released all the True Qi strength within his body, channeling it into the Lingyun Sword, and thrust it fiercely towards Ji Lingtian.

Boom!

The two forces collided, immediately rippling out a terrifying surge of wind that spread in all directions, even sweeping towards the ordinary guests below, causing them to feel an invisible wave hitting their faces, turning their faces red from the pressure.

At that moment, Situ Liuyun, Mu Qingsong, and Ouyang Zhenhua, among others, stood up, waving their hands, and a wave of invisible strength emerged, dissipating the terrifying surge of energy into nothingness.

Thud Thud Thud!

On the stage, after the clash, Ye Luo staggered backward several steps, his face flushed, unable to help spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, while Ji Lingtian merely swayed a few times.

Although Ye Luo could now contend with martial artists of the second layer of the Saint Realm, he still struggled to withstand Ji Lingtian, who was at the fourth layer of the Saint Realm, even with the Lingyun Sword in hand.

Of course, if his strength could reach the Saint Realm, perhaps he could unleash even greater power from the Lingyun Sword, which was, after all, a King’s Tool, currently sealed.

Once the seal is broken, and the Lingyun Sword unleashes the might of the King’s Tool, Ji Lingtian would not be an opponent even in one move.

"Ye Luo, how are you? Are you alright?"

Seeing Ye Luo spit blood, Qin Yuru quickly went to support him, her face full of concern, while Situ Luoyun and Leng Ruobing below had faces filled with worry.

"Hmph, kid, no matter how capable you are, you’re just an Innate Realm martial artist. You are not qualified to fight against me. Today, I won’t kill you, but I will cripple your strength, break all your bones, and then I will cut the flesh from your body piece by piece, letting you taste the pleasure of being flayed!"

Ji Lingtian’s face twisted viciously, his bizarre expression accompanying his spine-chilling voice and words, making the entire audience shudder, looking at him with an inexplicable fear.

This guy is truly ruthless. But considering the extreme humiliation he suffered, his actions are not surprising. After all, such disgrace is absolutely the most severe for a man, akin to the hatred of killing one’s father!

"Luoyun, take Yu Ru down!" Ye Luo’s gaze shifted to Situ Luoyun as he spoke.

"No, Ye Luo, don’t fight him, you can’t beat him." Qin Yuru held on to Ye Luo with tearful eyes, looked at Ji Lingtian, and knelt down on the ground: "Young Master Ji, please, spare him. If you have any hatred, let it all fall on me alone!"

"Qin Yuru, I kindly helped you to secure the position of helmsman of the Qin Group, and I was willing to give you my true heart, yet this is how you treat me, subjecting me to such extreme humiliation."

"Today, I will by no means let this brat off. I also will not spare you. I will return all the pain and humiliation you have caused me tenfold, a hundredfold!"

Ji Lingtian’s voice roared coldly, his eyes shining with a bloodthirsty chill, his entire being emanated murderous intent, his face ghastly, like a demon from hell, causing a deep chill in those who saw him.

"Yu Ru, you are my woman, I do not allow you to kneel before anyone!" Ye Luo’s eyes sparkled with determination as he pulled Qin Yuru up.

"Luoyun, take Yu Ru down!" Ye Luo ordered again, and Situ Luoyun quickly rushed forward, leading Qin Yuru away, the latter looking back at Ye Luo with eyes flickering with tears.

"Boy, prepare to suffer pain worse than death!" Ji Lingtian’s voice roared with a sinister tone.

"This punk dares to cuckold the Ji Family’s young master, he’s really asking for a death wish!"

Below the stage, Mu Yunlong looked at Ye Luo on the stage with a smirk, while Mu Qingsong beside him frowned deeply.

And Situ Yunchao also watched Ye Luo with an excited, cold smirk, his eyes shimmering with icy coldness. Ever since he learned that his son, Situ Wentian, had been injured by this bastard Ye Luo, he had hated him to the core. Had it not been for this kid offending the Ji Family today, he would have taken matters into his own hands to teach this bastard a good lesson.

"Grandpa, please help Ye Luo!"

At that moment, Situ Luoyun’s eyes turned towards Situ Liuyun, her expression urgent and pleading, clearly hoping for him to intervene.

"Luoyun, have you lost your mind? Do you realize what kind of situation this is, asking the old man to step in? Just the strength that the Ji Family has demonstrated is enough for our Situ Family to not afford offending them."

"Moreover, Ji Lingtian’s master, the Yuheng Pavilion Master from the Seven Stars Pavilion, is sitting right here. You’re actually asking the old man to help that fool, do you want to completely erase the Situ Family from the Capital City?"

Upon hearing Situ Luoyun’s words, Situ Yunchao’s face turned cold as he spoke without any courtesy, his eyes sweeping over Ye Luo on the stage as he snorted coldly:

"This young man is promiscuous, and now he has brought such shame to the Ji Family. He is courting death on his own accord. I advise you to stay away from him as well, so as not to bring any trouble to the Situ Family."

"Grandpa!" Situ Luoyun looked at Situ Liuyun with a pleading gaze.

"Alright, enough Luoyun, don’t make a scene," Situ Liuyun said somberly. "Considering the elixir he once gave me, I can overlook what he did to Wentian. But today, our Situ Family absolutely cannot get involved in this matter, or else the only path awaiting us would be annihilation."

Ouyang Yu’s gaze also turned towards Ouyang Zhenhua, who likewise shook his head.

But at that moment, on the stage, Feng Tian, who had been silent until now, saw Ji Lingtian burst out with a terrifying aura, frowned, and was about to take action.

At that instant, the four Saint Realm rank six elders who had been watching him suddenly moved, rushing towards Feng Tian, who simply waved his hands.

A terrifying surge of True Qi power erupted, instantly blowing the four Saint Realm rank six elders away, causing them to crash heavily to the ground, spewing blood from their mouths.

Hisss!

Seeing this scene, many onlookers gasped in shock, including powerful Saint Realm figures like Ouyang Zhenhua, Situ Liuyun, and Mu Qingsong.

With their strength, they could naturally discern the power and realm of these four elders. It was precisely because they knew their strength that they held the Ji Family in such awe. But now, to see these four dignified Saint Realm rank six powerhouses struck down and coughing up blood by a single move from this masked mysterious figure was truly unbelievable.

Being able to blow away four Saint Realm rank six experts with one move, just how strong must this masked expert be? Why would such a powerful figure appear beside Ye Luo?
