Zhao Zheng, a self-proclaimed martial arts genius, attacked Ye Xuan. Despite his reputation, Zhao Zheng was quickly defeated in two exchanges, first with a palm strike and then with his signature soft sword. Ye Xuan easily blocked both attacks, leaving Zhao Zheng in shock and questioning his own abilities.

He always believed he was a martial arts prodigy, and everyone concurred with this belief, but reality revealed something different… there exist individuals in this world possessing ten or even a hundred times his innate talent!

Here lies true genius!

The very next second.

Bang!

A dull impact sound reverberated once more.

Zhao Zheng’s flexible sword remained firmly in Ye Xuan’s grasp.

Zhao Zheng’s physique, however, had already been propelled tens of meters away, careening into a structural wall, shattering bricks and construction debris across the ground, shrouding the area in dust – a spectacle that was both dreamlike and profoundly astonishing.

Absolute silence descended upon the entire vicinity.

Every witness was deeply stunned by the unfolding scene.

Amidst the quiet.

“The martial arts prowess of the Zhao family, a martial arts prodigy? Is that all there is to it!”

Ye Xuan’s dismissive, cold laughter echoed. Simultaneously, the soft sword he held abruptly shifted, morphing into the Soul Seeking Sword and swiftly advancing towards the grievously wounded Zhao Zheng.

An aura of impending death instantly permeated the entire surroundings.

All eyes widened, utterly breathless.

Madness, sheer madness.

Ye Xuan had undoubtedly lost his senses.

Having resolved matters with Liu Haoyang in mere words was already egregious; now, he audaciously dared to target Zhao Zheng of the Zhao family for elimination!

Zhao Zheng was as good as dead.

“You unruly brat, how dare you!”

In the deathly quiet, a voice boomed like rolling thunder.

Ding!

Immediately thereafter, the soft sword, slicing through the air, was deflected by a small stone. An elder dressed in ancient attire materialized before Zhao Zheng without any prior indication.

Zhao Zheng had narrowly averted a fatal strike.

“This is…”

Numerous gazes fixated on the middle-aged man standing with his hands clasped behind his back, all imbued with astonishment.

The pallid-faced Wang Shaoyang swiftly regained his composure, hastily bowing and addressing the middle-aged man, “Esteemed Zhao Yunfei, I implore you to dispense justice!”

The weakened Zhao Zheng, amidst the rubble, ground his teeth and uttered feebly, “Father, this individual cannot be suffered to live; he must be eliminated!”

Zhao Yunfei.

The second-generation Junior Elder of the Zhao family, Zhao Yunfei!

Upon recognizing the middle-aged man’s identity, the expressions of everyone present shifted once again. However, this time, no one dared to offer the sycophantic deference they had shown to Zhao Zheng.

When the disparity in status is too great, the inferiors lack the standing to speak before their superiors.

Hearing the trembling tones of Zhao Zheng and Wang Shaoyang, Zhao Yunfei’s brow furrowed slightly. With a gesture of his hand, he then regarded Ye Xuan and stated coldly, “You insolent brat, not long ago, you eliminated members of my Zhao family, and I have yet to settle that score with you. Now, you presume to assault my son and even attempt to end his life. You have painted yourself into a corner!”

“No way out?”

Ye Xuan’s lips curved upwards, his gaze meeting Zhao Yunfei’s with a chilling smile. “Shedding the blood of your Zhao family members, so what? If you yearn for death, I can readily grant you passage!”

Shedding the blood of your Zhao family members, so what?

If you yearn for death, I can readily grant you passage!

With merely a few casual pronouncements, he utterly astounded everyone present.

Such immeasurable arrogance!

Such audacious defiance!

The collective perception of Ye Xuan transformed into something peculiar.

At this juncture, no one dared to dispute Ye Xuan’s formidable strength, nor did any dare to provoke him verbally, yet this was Zhao Yunfei! Even within the martial world, he stood as an undisputed, premier expert!

Utter lunacy.

Ye Xuan had demonstrably abandoned all reason, truly sinking into madness.

His self-assurance had ascended to an utterly outrageous zenith!

Even Li Xiyuan, among the few present who genuinely supported Ye Xuan, was taken aback and filled with apprehension upon hearing his defiant words.

Li Xiyuan had never anticipated that at the engagement gala today, Wang Shaoyang would actually engineer the presence of Zhao Yunfei, creating a scenario that spelled almost certain doom for Ye Xuan!

A sense of profound helplessness began to surface.

Li Xiyuan had arrived hoping to offer Ye Xuan assistance at a critical juncture, but it now appeared she too was powerless.

In truth, from the moment Zhao Zheng made his appearance, the Li family found themselves unable to aid Ye Xuan in this escalating conflict, for when confronted with absolute martial power, all affiliations and social standing rendered themselves virtually meaningless.

Liu Ying harbored identical anxieties.

From the commencement to the present, her hands remained tightly clasped. Her sole desire now was to stand beside Ye Xuan, making him appear less isolated, but logical reasoning forbade it.

Zhao Yunfei, an undeniable master of martial arts, what recourse could a frail young woman like her possibly offer besides potentially becoming a burden to Ye Xuan?

“Why am I not a martial expert? Why?”

It was the inaugural instance in Liu Ying’s existence where she experienced a surge of resentment towards her own inadequacy in martial arts.

However, Zhao Yunfei, upon hearing Ye Xuan’s insolent declaration, erupted in fury. “Culling my Zhao family, so what? Today, for as long as I stand here, you, you unruly brat, shall not see another dawn!”

The moment his words concluded.

Thud!

Zhao Yunfei slammed his foot down, unleashing immense force. The ground beneath him fractured within a radius of several meters, seemingly causing the entire Ye Ying Villa to tremble ever so slightly.

His upright figure surged forward like a blade, directly towards Ye Xuan.

In mere moments, Zhao Yunfei was before Ye Xuan, unleashing a punch with the force of thunder.

Ye Xuan raised his eyes, completely unfazed, and met the incoming strike with a clench of his own fist.

Bam!

The collision of their fists produced a deep, muffled explosion.

Following the impact, both fighters were sent staggering back ten paces.

The entire scene seemed to hold its breath.

The onlookers were once again overcome with astonishment.

This exchange was remarkably decisive.

Could it be that Ye Xuan was not at a disadvantage even when facing an expert like Zhao Yunfei?

This is truly...

Even those unfamiliar with martial arts could sense the truth of the situation; how could Zhao Yunfei himself not?

As a dull ache radiated from the bones of his fist, Zhao Yunfei's brows knitted slightly. A flicker of solemnity crossed his deep-set eyes, and his killing intent intensified, becoming even more resolute and sharp.

To possess such formidable strength at such a young age... what if he were given a few more years?

Such an individual would be an invaluable ally, but an absolutely determined foe to be eliminated!

Zhao Yunfei lifted his head, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Xuan. "Very good. It has been many years since someone could withstand my punch without being immediately defeated. However... precisely because of this, you will die today!"

Zhao Yunfei moved, his attack swift and ferocious.

Observing the rapidly advancing figure, Ye Xuan's sharp brows drew together slightly.

He had to concede that Zhao Yunfei was, without a doubt, the most perilous individual he had encountered since his return to Yan Country.

Even reflecting on his entire life up to this point, Ye Xuan had never crossed paths with such a formidable martial expert.

Zhao Yunfei closed the distance to Ye Xuan once more.

"I have a single punch that I have practiced for thirty years. It is called the Void Spirit Fist," Zhao Yunfei's sinister laughter reverberated. "Boy, the fact that you have forced me to use this technique is a testament to your prowess!"

It was evident that Zhao Yunfei was a man of swift decisions.

Recognizing the profound threat Ye Xuan posed, he did not hold back any strength, opting instead to unleash his ultimate technique, the Void Spirit Fist.

This Void Spirit Fist was widely renowned throughout the martial world, primarily because of its unpredictable, agile, and ferocious nature. Against any opponent who was not vastly superior, it proved exceedingly difficult to quickly identify any weaknesses during the heat of battle.

And, of course, vastly superior opponents wouldn't need to search for weaknesses.

Zhao Yunfei initiated his strike.
