Xie Ying, the young master of the Xie Yue Palace, felt his face twitch violently.
It was as if he himself had been blasted away.
A chill penetrated straight through his back.
On the Xue Wang Palace side, Xue Liusha, the saintess of Xue Wang Palace, narrowed her beautiful eyes, observing Ling Fan with intense interest.
Even from the Tian Cang Sect, the saint son Wu Changkong looked somewhat surprised.
"Wow, that's great! Brother Ling Fan is so amazing!"
Mu Yiyi jumped up happily.
Mu Qin Xin's eyes widened.
Her heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down.
So this was...
This was your true strength!
No wonder you spoke such arrogant words in Feng Mu City that day. It wasn't that you were too arrogant, but rather...
You truly possessed such astonishing power.
Thinking that Ling Fan was seven or eight years younger than her, Mu Qin Xin found it utterly incredible.
-------------------------------------
"Pa ta"
Ling Fan strode out of the Wang Yue Pavilion.
He stopped in front of Jin Jian.
Hearing footsteps, Jin Jian looked up and instantly flinched back in fear.
"I lost, I lost! I concede! What else do you want!"
Jin Jian said with a fierce but cowardly tone.
"I said earlier, if you don't kneel, you die."
"You didn't kneel to me just now, so die."
Ling Fan said calmly.
Jin Jian was terrified. "You can't kill me, are you crazy? I am the first saint son of the Yin Yu Sect! The elders of my sect are right outside Wang Yue Valley!"
"I warn you, if you dare to touch a single hair on my head, I guarantee you won't be able to leave Wang Yue Valley alive...!"
Before Jin Jian could finish speaking.
A hint of disdainful amusement flickered across Ling Fan's lips.
He flicked his finger.
Puff!
A blood hole the size of a thumb suddenly appeared between Jin Jian's eyebrows.
At the same time, the Zhan Shen Blade plunged into Jin Jian's body, and with a sweep, it shattered and devoured Jin Jian's spiritual body before reluctantly returning to Ling Fan's body.
"How dare you kill me..."
Jin Jian's eyes remained wide open.
His gaze was filled with endless hatred and regret.
But soon his consciousness sank into boundless darkness.
His body turned into a cold corpse.
Inside the Wang Yue Pavilion.
All the geniuses who witnessed this scene felt their hearts clench.
Jin Jian was dead!
That kid was truly ruthless.
At the same time as Jin Jian's death.
In a magnificent architectural complex in the Shang Cang Realm.
Among the identity spirit tablets placed in a hall, the one bearing Jin Jian's name suddenly shattered.
"Saint Son Jin Jian is dead!"
This earth-shattering news spread throughout the Yin Yu Sect at an incredibly rapid pace.
"What is Liu Hong doing? How can an elder like him, at the middle stage of the Ju Ling Realm, not even protect a disciple!"
"Someone, go to Wang Yue Valley."
...
Inside the Wang Yue Pavilion.
Ling Fan returned to the pavilion and casually found a spot to sit down.
Those geniuses looked at him with extreme apprehension. Now, forget about mocking him, these geniuses didn't even dare to look at Ling Fan.
After all, he was a formidable figure who dared to kill the saint son of the Yin Yu Sect!
They didn't want to become souls under Ling Fan's blade!
With this interlude.
The subsequent Wang Yue Martial Assembly became somewhat dull and uninteresting.
The geniuses sparred with their heads down.
Ling Fan did not make another move.
No one dared to challenge him.
Ling Fan had thoroughly proven his strength in that single battle.
Mu Qin Xin did make a few appearances.
She had already broken through to the Ju Ling Realm, and her strength was still formidable. She at least managed to save some face for the Yin Yu Sect.
The sparring lasted for two full days.
Above Wang Yue Valley, a bright moon grew rounder and rounder.
It was almost the full moon.
-------------------------------------
With the top ten emerging.
Wu Changkong of Tian Cang Sect, Ao Long Wudi of Chi Long Hall, Xue Liusha of Xue Wang Palace, Chen Wei of Xuan Shuang Valley, Xie Ying of Xie Yue Palace, Luo Ke of Xue Mo Sect, and other top prodigies entered the top ten without surprise.
Mu Qin Xin also stood firm in the end, becoming one of the top ten.
Each person received a crescent-shaped token.
It was automatically condensed from the divine radiance of Wang Yue Peak.
It represented Wang Yue Peak's recognition of their strength.
But the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
Because Ling Fan had not participated in the competition for the top ten at all.
His only battle was against Jin Jian.
According to the rules, no matter how strong he was, if he hadn't sparred enough matches with other geniuses, he wouldn't be qualified to be in the top ten.
His failure to receive the token bestowed by Wang Yue Peak was the best proof.
Everyone speculated, did Ling Fan not care about the dan qi of the Yin Chan?
With his strength to easily kill Jin Jian, he was absolutely qualified to be in the top ten.
As everyone was speculating.
The moon on Wang Yue Peak finally became completely round.
Like a perfect, flawless, massive jade plate, it hung precariously above Wang Yue Peak.
Amidst the dense clouds and mist on the summit of Wang Yue Peak, a colossal shadow slowly appeared.
All the geniuses looked enviously at the top ten geniuses.
The top ten geniuses also appeared invigorated and full of anticipation.
"Everyone, let's go up the mountain. The Yin Chan has appeared."
Wu Changkong said with a slight smile.
The ten people, holding their tokens, walked towards the path up the mountain one after another.
Mu Qin Xin's expression was one of hesitation.
She bit her red lips lightly.
She looked at Ling Fan.
And offered him the token in her hand.
"My strength is at the bottom among the top ten. If you had participated in the sparring, you would definitely have entered the top ten, and I would have been squeezed out. Although I don't know why you didn't participate in the martial assembly sparring, but... take this token. I don't want it. This originally belonged to you. I, Mu Qin Xin, will not accept favors from others for nothing, especially from you."
Ling Fan raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Qin Xin indifferently.
He then looked towards the summit.
Seeing that the moon on the peak had become round and the path to the summit had appeared, he also stood up.
However, he did not take Mu Qin Xin's top ten token.
Instead, he walked around her and headed straight for the summit of Wang Yue Peak.
Mu Qin Xin's expression suddenly changed. "Are you crazy! Without the token bestowed by Wang Yue Pavilion, if you barge up like this, you will be blasted to death by the pressure of Wang Yue Peak! This mountain, even a Great Accomplishment King wouldn't dare to force their way through, let alone you!"
The other geniuses were also shocked by Ling Fan's reckless action.
Even the nine top prodigies who had already started on the path up the mountain turned back with immense surprise.
What astonishing feat was Ling Fan about to perform now?
Ling Fan said indifferently, "I don't need the top ten token, which is why I didn't participate in the martial assembly sparring."
"Because I want all of that Yin Chan's dan qi."
When Ling Fan uttered these words.
All the geniuses immediately looked at him as if he were a madman.
The nine geniuses who had already embarked on the path to the summit let out disdainful mockery.
Xie Ying, the young master of Xie Yue Palace, said, "You say you want to monopolize it, and you want to monopolize it. Who the hell do you think you are, a Great Accomplishment King? You're dreaming! Even a Great Accomplishment King wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous on this Wang Yue Peak."
"Once, a Great Accomplishment King coveted the dan qi of that Yin Chan and forcefully broke into Wang Yue Peak, only to be pulverized into dust by Wang Yue Peak. Since then, no one has dared to covet that Yin Chan."
"You only killed Jin Jian. You could do it, and so could we. What are you so proud of? Do you really think you're invincible!"
