Chapter 751: You Can’t Block It

Ye Tianling noticed Qianyu’s tone soften slightly and knew she didn’t want to fight. He cut to the chase and said directly, "Grasp the Thunder Will, prove the Asura Killing Dao! The Asura Martial Emperor Technique, also known as the ’Asura Killing Dao,’ is derived from the Ten Thousand Thoughts in One Heart Sword Technique and refined from the Ten Thousand Souls Sword Dao..."

As he spoke, Ye Tianling casually used his bow as a sword, executing a move from the Ten Thousand Thoughts in One Heart Sword Technique. "Since you are pursuing Enlightenment Dao here," he added, "you should have grasped some of the fundamentals—for example, the basic Ten Thousand Thoughts in One Heart Sword Technique."

Ye Tianling’s display made Qianyu frown repeatedly. ’Just my luck,’ she thought.

She could already tell that Ye Tianling wasn’t joking. He wasn’t trying to steal her Enlightenment Land; he truly understood the Asura Soul-Slaying Killing Dao!

In other words, everything Ye Tianling said was true!

"I admit, what you say is true, but I’m afraid that won’t work. An opportunity like this comes only once. This place is the Enlightenment Land assigned to me by the War Dragon Academy, which makes it my opportunity! Of course, if you had a ranking and were qualified to contend in this area, you could compete with me for it.

But you are an existence outside the Law. You have no ranking, nor are you one of the hundred prodigies of this region. Therefore, you have neither the qualifications nor the right to make any demands here.

This time, whether by righteousness or by my position, I am not in the wrong. So, please leave. Given our strength, a fight would be meaningless!"

Qianyu’s expression was quite displeased, but she couldn’t afford to turn hostile.

Just as she said, although she was at the Sword Tribulation Fifth Refining Realm with peerless Battle Power and the ability to unleash the force of Nine Forbidden Great Perfection... when compared to Ye Tianling, she truly had no confidence she could win.

With less than two hours remaining before they had to leave the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave, she didn’t want to waste any more time here.

Under these circumstances, a battle with Ye Tianling wouldn’t be decided in two hours—it might not even be decided in two days.

"You pursue your Enlightenment Dao, and I will go find an old friend. Don’t interfere with me, and I won’t interfere with you!"

Ye Tianling said coolly, tightening his grip on the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow.

"In that case, let’s fight!"

Qianyu didn’t back down an inch.

’Pursue my Enlightenment Dao?’

’With Ye Tianling here, how could I possibly concentrate on my enlightenment?’

’If I were to focus on my enlightenment and he suddenly launched a ruthless attack, I’d be severely injured!’

She knew that a single strike from Ye Tianling was enough to shatter her Green Lotus Divine Body.

’If my guard was down, it would be a one-hit kill.’

’As if I could possibly focus on my enlightenment now.’

"You’re no match for me. With my trump card, one blow is enough to destroy you. Besides, you’re far too arrogant. I have no interest in you, and certainly no sexual interest. I’m even less interested in sneak-attacking you!"

Ye Tianling spoke again.

Qianyu was furious. Her proud chest heaved as she struggled to suppress her anger. Taking the initiative, she manifested her Green Lotus Divine Body, ready to test her strength against Ye Tianling’s.

Ye Tianling channeled the Power of Demon God into his Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow. A blood-red Arrow instantly materialized, locking onto the spot between Qianyu’s eyebrows.

"This one Arrow of mine can slay a Daoist Ancestor. You cannot block it!"

Ye Tianling stated calmly.

Qianyu’s expression changed drastically, her face instantly turning pale.

She summoned a pair of Chaos White Feathers, yet she could still feel a terrifying, deathly pressure.

She then brought out an Ancestral Dao Guardian and an Unparalleled Ancestral Artifact Battle Armor for protection, but a chill still crept into her heart.

The powerful, suffocating feeling of death made Qianyu understand that the Weapon in Ye Tianling’s hands was absolutely a Sacred Artifact, perhaps even Divine Artifact Level.

If Ye Tianling were to unleash such a power, she truly would not be able to block it.

For someone like Ye Tianling, who possessed heaven-defying qi and blood and was skilled in invincible recovery methods, expending some Essence Blood Power to fire a single Arrow was a trivial cost.

But if he unleashed this attack, Qianyu wouldn’t be able to stop it. Even if she survived, she would be crippled.

In this region, only one in a hundred would survive.

Besides Qianyu, there were many other peerless prodigies whose strength was not to be underestimated.

If she were to suffer a devastating blow, she would never be able to hold onto this Purgatory Purple Mountain.

And if that happened, she would surely perish.

"You—"

Qianyu’s body trembled, a mixture of shock, fury, and indignation.

Ye Tianling shot Qianyu a contemptuous, indifferent glance. He extended his hand, but instead of shooting her, he fired the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow and its Arrow directly into the distant void.

PSSSSHHHT—

A terrifying rift immediately tore open in the fabric of the world, a black hole of Destruction that spewed forth destructive Flowing Light.

It was Void Turbulence.

’A single Arrow shattered the void?’

"Qianyu and I are claiming this place. Anyone who dares approach will be killed without mercy!"

Ye Tianling’s Dao Sound was like thunder, his voice infused with the power of the Lion’s Roar as it shook the surroundings.

Instantly, several shadowy figures in the distance shot away like streaks of Flowing Light, fleeing until they disappeared from sight.

Qianyu shivered, finding it hard to believe. ’This place was already being watched by other prodigies?’

’I didn’t even notice, but Ye Tianling did?’

’And he fired that Arrow without even flinching, as if it cost him nothing? He didn’t burn any of his Essence, Qi, and Soul, or expend any Essence Blood?’

"I can fire at least ten more Arrows like that. I can even combine the Battle Power of all ten into a single, even more heaven-defying Arrow. Want to try me?"

Ye Tianling said, enunciating every word.

"I... You... Are you really just looking for an old friend?"

Qianyu had compromised.

It wasn’t that she didn’t have her own trump cards.

But her trump cards were no match for Ye Tianling’s.

Faced with a deadly trump card like his, she could only yield.

"Yes. You can go back to what you were doing. I have no interest in killing you, and no sexual interest in you either, as I’ve said."

After speaking, Ye Tianling turned and walked directly toward the Purgatory Purple Mountain.

He even exposed his back to Qianyu completely.

But Qianyu didn’t make a move. She didn’t dare.

’This man is incredibly proud. He should be someone who keeps his word.’

’After all, he truly has the power to kill me. It seems I got carried away after making some progress and became arrogant again!’

’But why is his Battle Power so immense? What, exactly, is the gap between us? I’ve already pushed everything I can to the absolute limit! There’s nowhere else for me to improve!’

’The only way now is to raise my Realm and achieve a transformation in Battle Power. But how can I sustain that kind of growth?’

Qianyu fell into a state of deep confusion.

Almost instinctively, she gazed into the distance.

At the foot of the enormous Purgatory Purple Mountain, purple clouds and mist swirled, rising endlessly.

Ye Tianling’s figure gradually disappeared into the mist—tall and solitary, yet exceptionally resolute.

Every step he took was remarkably decisive, as if no obstacle on the path ahead could ever stop him.

’This is a Young Venerable... the second person since ancient times to have an Emperor’s Qi Sword Body that has integrated several Ancient Divine Bodies...’

Qianyu couldn’t help but murmur again.

At that moment, watching Ye Tianling’s retreating back, Qianyu felt a strange sense of awe and became somewhat entranced.
