Free Web NovelChapter 1709: Chapter 1578: Beaten Like a Dog!
A strange scene unfolded on the Life and Death Battle Arena. Gu Xian, the Emperor’s son, was brutally overwhelmed by Ye Fan with the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, unable to even muster the slightest retaliation.
Gu Xian felt suffocated with frustration. Despite having immense strength, he was unable to utilize it and found himself being ruthlessly overwhelmed by Ye Fan as if he were a dog.
Concurrently, he was extremely shocked. Who would have thought Ye Fan could still employ the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, such a heaven-defying secret technique, without borrowing from the Earth Vein Dragon Qi? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The onlookers from afar were even more stunned beyond belief. Who was Gu Xian?
He was the offspring of the Ancient Emperor, with formidable strength and bloodline, yet within the same realm, he was left in such a state by Ye Fan. This was truly hard for them to accept.
"Good, Ye Zi, keep it up, beat him up so thoroughly that even the Ancient Emperor wouldn’t recognize him upon rebirth!"
Hu Fei excitedly shouted upon seeing Ye Fan gain the upper hand, feeling as if he were the one crushing Gu Xian.
Shi Ye also laughed heartily, joining Hu Fei in their raucous cheering, leaving the Gu Family both shocked and angry, yet unable to argue, swallowing this bitter pill.
The cultivators from various major forces present were utterly shocked, feeling a chill in their hearts at Ye Fan’s displayed strength.
This terrifying combat power explained why those strong at the Saint Heir level were no match, and it was only natural for them to be slain by him.
The Old Bastard nodded with a smile, Ye Fan’s performance exceeded his expectations, shining brilliantly for the Immortal Academy, making him, the Dean, feel as refreshed as drinking a bowl of ice water on a hot day, immensely proud.
Though he felt proud and satisfied, the Gu Family was extremely displeased, their faces dark with anger, looking at Ye Fan with eyes full of destructive fury.
Their rage peaked, yet they were speechless.
It was Gu Xian who first initiated the contest, agreeing to spar with Ye Fan within the same realm. It had nothing to do with Ye Fan; he was only looking for trouble himself.
As members of the Di Clan, the Gu Family had thoroughly lost face, and now not just their pride but even their dignity was gone. What face could they still have?
Princess Yue Bai opened her small mouth in an O shape, enough to fit a banana, eyes flickering with extraordinary brilliance.
Clearly, she did not expect Ye Fan to be so powerful, able to relentlessly overwhelm Gu Xian in a contest of the same realm.
The Eldest Princess Yue Ying’s eyes also sparkled brightly, feeling exceptionally amazed by Ye Fan’s performance. She too did not predict that Ye Fan could so violently overpower Gu Xian, something no one had foreseen.
The Ancient Prince of the Yuehua Dynasty, Yue Haoyu, also had a flash of startling light in his eyes; Ye Fan’s move was surely a secret technique with power comparable to an Emperor Martial Technique, truly unheard of before.
He was very curious as to how Ye Fan acquired such a secret technique.
Undoubtedly, Ye Fan was indeed favored by Providence; otherwise, he could not have such a heaven-defying fortune. On the path of future Proving Dao, he undoubtedly would have a place.
Yaling felt particularly gratified. She knew that this contest was nearing its end, and once Gu Xian was defeated, Ye Fan would hold the position of the number one of the young generation across the Five Domains, unchallenged.
The Emperor’s son from the Human Emperor nodded slightly, leaving people uncertain of his thoughts, even the Saint of the Imperial Family was unaware.
The Ling Family, on the other hand, looked ashen, especially Ling Gu, feeling icy cold in his limbs, as Ye Fan’s growth was too rapid.
When Ye Fan was first enrolled in the Immortal Academy, he was still weak, and unexpectedly, he had grown to this extent.
The Ling Family’s Saint had a tightly knitted brow. From the beginning, the Ling Family opposed Ye Fan at every turn. Was this the right decision?
Now, Ye Fan had grown formidable and was invincible among the young generation. He should have been the pride of the Ling Family, but they had personally pushed this glory away.
The Ling Family Ancestor, Ling Yunzhi, the biological son of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, his heart was like an overturned bottle of mixed emotions.
Ye Fan was the son of Ling Yun, also the grandson of the Ling Family, and the Ling Family was his only kin in this world. But how did the Ling Family treat him?
"If now the attitude were to change, asking Ye Fan to recognize his ancestry and return to the clan, would he agree?"
Ling Yunzhi fell into a quandary.
Trying to kill Ye Fan was now impossible. He had grown, and with the protection from Treasure Pavilion and Immortal Academy, even the Ling Family dared not act recklessly.
Besides, the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor’s weapon remained in Ye Fan’s hands, and it had gained the recognition of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown Emperor Soul; the Ling Family had no hope of reclaiming it.
Weighing the pros and cons, Ling Yunzhi made a difficult decision to let go of prejudice and hostility towards Ye Fan, employing all means to bring him back to the Ling Family.
As long as Ye Fan was willing to return, the Ling Family’s status would soar to an extreme height, making other Di Clans look up to them.
Once Ye Fan returned to the Ling Family, they wouldn’t just regain the Emperor Weapon but also gain a member who could Prove Dao in the future, a win-win situation.
And should Ye Fan Prove Dao in the future, the Ling Family would become the first clan with two Emperors under one roof, and their status in the world would remain unshakable for hundreds of thousands of years to come.
Nevertheless, Ling Yunzhi knew it would be a daunting task. From the start, the Ling Family was in the wrong, and it was uncertain if changing now would be timely.
But no matter what, an attempt must be made. For the future of the Ling Family, he had to throw everything on the line.
While various thoughts brewed among the crowd, no change occurred on the battlefield. Despite Gu Xian’s intense rage, he remained deeply suppressed by Ye Fan’s Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, unable to disengage, almost flattened like a pancake.
Ye Fan continued to nonchalantly use the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, with no sign of his Divine Power depleting, leaving everyone gaping and completely numb.
It was known that while at the Immortal Academy, Ye Fan refined a staggering million catties of Spirit Stones, amassing boundless Divine Power, along with the Holy Embryo Illusions within the three hundred and sixty acupoints contributing copious Divine Power, ensuring he did not face depletion.
However—
Gu Xian was nearly at his end; the power of the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand was immense, each strike almost driving him into the ground.
Had this battlefield not been one of the three great Ancient Battlefields, it would likely have been smashed through by Ye Fan’s Immortal Stele Scattering Hand long ago.
When he first acquired the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, Ye Fan discovered its immense power, surpassing that of the Emperor-level Martial Technique, Xuandi Fist, though with a significant Divine Power cost.
Previously, he could only utilize it continuously in areas abundant in Earth Vein Dragon Qi, relying on it, but now, he could consecutively execute it with just his own Divine Power.
After hitting more than twenty times in a row, Gu Xian’s body had been burst once, forcing him to use the Ancient Emperor Secret Technique to reconstruct his body, which significantly consumed his Primordial essence, limiting his repeated use.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Gu Xiao was miserably battered, roaring wildly.
He originally thought he could easily crush Ye Fan, but the situation was entirely the opposite. Crushed he was, but it was him being crushed.
"Stop this, the spar no longer needs to continue!"
The Old Emperor of the Yuehua Dynasty could no longer bear to watch after Gu Xian’s third body explosion, and intervened to put an end to the spar.
In fact, this couldn’t be called a spar anymore; at the very least, sparring involves a back-and-forth from both sides. At present, Gu Xian was overwhelmingly suppressed with no chance to counterattack, even unable to dodge.
This... how could it still be called a spar?!
