"But kid, I'm telling you upfront, once you step onto the stage, you're responsible for your own life and death!" Senior Brother Huang said to Ye Feng with a sinister smile.
Ye Feng heard this and immediately chuckled, "Of course, life and death are my own responsibility!!"
"Good, you're straightforward, kid. If that's the case, let's begin!!" Senior Brother Huang strode to the center, secretly planning how he would kill Ye Feng later.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd immediately cleared a wide space. Although they didn't expect the fight between the two to be very intense, they made room out of respect for Ye Feng's courage to step forward.
Ye Feng didn't hesitate either. He slowly stood on the other side, then looked at Senior Brother Huang with a smile, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll let you make the first move!!"
"Hmph, arrogant!!"
Senior Brother Huang let out a roar upon hearing this. Without any further politeness, he drew his long sword and lunged at Ye Feng, "Azure Moon Swordplay, kid, die!!"
A beam of white sword light descended from the sky, transforming into a crescent moon that slashed towards Ye Feng. Wherever it passed, the air exploded, and silver light flashed, drawing gasps from the crowd.
"Damn, such terrifying sword energy! Senior Brother Huang truly lives up to his reputation as a genius disciple of Wudang. The power of this move is already comparable to that of a peak Grandmaster!"
"Indeed, such a fearsome attack! Look, that kid is already scared stiff, frozen in place without reacting!"
"Of course, this kid is dead..."
Hearing the crowd's exclamations, Senior Brother Huang was quite pleased, a smug look on his face.
However, just as he thought Ye Feng was about to be brutally killed by his sword, Ye Feng's lips curled into a smile, and he suddenly vanished from his spot.
Immediately after, a terrifying electric light flickered in the air. Ye Feng's figure appeared before him at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and he then struck out with his palm.
"What? You!"
Instantly, Senior Brother Huang's face changed drastically. His eyes bulged wide open, as if he had seen something earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.
Then, under his terrified gaze, a terrifying force struck his chest, and in the next moment, his entire body was sent flying backward in a parabolic trajectory.
*Pfft!*
A mouthful of black blood splattered from Senior Brother Huang's flying figure, accompanied by the smell of scorching. In the next instant, Senior Brother Huang was heavily injured and knocked unconscious on the spot!!
"See, that kid..."
At the same time, the crowd's attention was still fixed on Ye Feng's motionless figure. But as they started to speak, their words abruptly stopped.
Following that, a torrent of expletives erupted!
"Holy shit, what's going on?"
Countless shouts of "Holy shit" followed one after another. The crowd couldn't help but rub their eyes, each of them thinking they had seen incorrectly.
It wasn't until a clear *thump* echoed shortly after that the crowd finally reacted. They looked closely and saw that their so-called Senior Brother Huang had been sent flying!
And the kid they thought was doomed had actually appeared where Senior Brother Huang was!
"Wh-what's happening? Did I see that wrong? Senior Brother Huang he..." someone exclaimed in disbelief.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding crowd chimed in with a hint of uncertainty, "W-we probably didn't see wrong. Senior Brother Huang seems to have been defeated by that kid in one move!!"
"What? This, this!!!"
In an instant, everyone was stunned, frozen in place. Senior Brother Huang, a peak Grandmaster, defeated in one move?
"H-how is that possible? Kid, your cultivation!"
Someone looked at Ye Feng, their mouth agape in disbelief, "Didn't you say you were only at the mid-to-late stage of Grandmaster? What's going on here?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng didn't hesitate and slowly said, "You're right, I'm not a peak Grandmaster. I am... Grandmaster Perfected!!!"
As he spoke, a terrifying aura surged towards the sky, impacting the crowd like waves, filling them with disbelief and horror!
The kid before them, he truly wasn't a peak Grandmaster, he was... Grandmaster Perfected!!!
"How is that possible? Grandmaster Perfected at such a young age? Who, who are you?" everyone asked incredulously, looking at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn't hide anything and calmly stated his name again: "Ye Feng!"
"Ye, Ye Feng?" The crowd pondered the name for a moment, and the next second, something clicked, and their faces contorted in shock.
"Wh-what? It's you! You're the boss of Poseidon Company, the one who obtained the Fire Control Bead in the Ancient Space not long ago!!"
"What? It's him? Didn't they say he fell into a spatial vortex and couldn't get out? How is he here?"
"I-I don't know. I didn't expect him to not only get out but also reach Grandmaster Perfected. This, this is too unbelievable!"
"Yes, yes, so it was him. No wonder he could defeat Senior Brother Huang in one move. This, this is truly terrifying..."
The crowd had already heard about Ye Feng's performance in the Ancient Space. Many had initially dismissed it as exaggeration.
But seeing it today, they realized it wasn't an exaggeration at all; it was an understatement. Ye Feng's strength was only stronger than the rumors, not weaker!
Hearing the continuous exclamations from the crowd, the people from the Pill Dao Sect also looked shocked. It was clear they knew a little about Ye Feng's reputation.
However, he quickly regained his composure and said coldly, "Hmph, so what if you're Grandmaster Perfected? Alchemy isn't cultivation, there's nothing to be proud of!"
Upon hearing this, those who were on good terms with Wudang also chimed in, "Exactly, cultivation talent doesn't represent alchemy talent. What's so great about it!"
"Exactly. Moreover, Senior Brother Huang was just sparring with him, and he heavily injured Senior Brother Huang in one move. With such ruthless methods, how is he worthy of joining the Pill Dao Sect?"
Saying this, these people turned to the person from the Pill Dao Sect and said, "Senior Brother Kang Qian, I suggest blacklisting this kid and never recruiting him!"
"That's right. So ruthless, he's completely unsuitable for alchemy. Besides, if Wudang finds out that this kid injured Senior Brother Huang, it might be difficult to explain."
"Indeed, someone like this should be kicked out quickly..."
Hearing these words, the expression of the Pill Dao Sect member, addressed as Kang Qian, also changed.
Indeed, Wudang was a super force. If Ye Feng had injured Senior Brother Huang, and they found out, he would be held responsible.
Therefore, Kang Qian immediately said coldly, "That's right, kid. You have great courage, daring to injure a Wudang disciple in front of our Pill Dao Sect. What crime do you deserve?"
At these words, Ye Feng's expression immediately changed, his face darkening, "What do you mean? Before the match, it was agreed that life and death were irrelevant. What, do you want to go back on your word?"
"Hmph, go back on what?"
Kang Qian sneered, "That was your bet with him, what does it have to do with our Pill Dao Sect? I just think your methods are cruel, which is why I won't let you join. What, is there a problem?"
"You!!"
Ye Feng's face turned ashen with anger. He hadn't expected the Pill Dao Sect to be so biased, which infuriated him.
However, just as he was about to reveal his identity as a member of the Qin family, a somewhat familiar voice sounded behind him...
