"Full of loopholes."
Looking at the sharp short knife with a dazzling cold light, Ye Changkong's mouth curved into a slight smile.
He took a small step and easily dodged the attack.
"You're only good at archery, but your close combat skills are terrible."
Ye Changkong sneered and quickly grabbed Huang Wei's right wrist in his left hand, exerting force to make him drop the short knife.
At the same time, his right fist burst out a powerful force and punched Huang Wei in the chest.
Pu-chi!
Huang Wei spat out a mouthful of blood. Although Ye Changkong hadn't used any martial arts, the punch still made Huang Wei feel very uncomfortable.
"You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Changkong violently pulled Huang Wei's hand back, leaving him no chance to escape or react.
With his right fist, he relentlessly bombarded Huang Wei.
Each punch was thrown using pure physical strength without the use of spiritual power.
Although each punch wasn't loaded with spiritual power, it felt like he was hitting Huang Wei with a heavy hammer, making him bleed profusely.
"Oh my God, Huang Wei is completely overwhelmed!"
The people under the stage were stunned by what they saw.
At this point in the battle, there was no sign of a life or death struggle. It was just a one-sided crush.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Receiving blow after blow, but unable to retaliate made Huang Wei go insane, screaming hysterically.
If words could kill, Ye Changkong would have been torn apart by Huang Wei countless times.
Ye Changkong didn't even know how many punches he had thrown until every inch of Huang Wei's body was covered in bruises. Only then did he stop and loosen his grip on Huang Wei's hand, shaking his slightly sore arm.
Bang!
As soon as he letgo, Huang Wei's body collapsed on the ground, gasping like a dying dog.
"You shouldn't have gone against me."
Ye Changkong's voice was cold and he prepared to give the final fatal blow.
At this moment, everyone in the audience woke up from their daze and started whispering.
"Is Ye Changkong really going to kill Huang Wei? He's just an observing disciple of Tianyun Peak. If he kills him, he will be offending Elder Luoqing."
"Judging from his posture, it seems that he really intends to make a move."
Some of Tianyun Peak's disciples angrily shouted, "You dare to kill us, disciples of Tianyun Peak?"
As soon as the words were spoken, one of Tianyun Peak's disciples jumped up, wanting to rush onto the stage to stop Ye Changkong.
However, before he could even jump onto the stage, he was suppressed by an irresistible force, falling down straight away.
"In Qingyun Terrace's life or death duel, outsiders are not allowed to interfere."
Wang Zhen, who was watching from a distance, withdrew the hand that had been suppressing the Tianyun Peak disciple, and said expressionlessly.
Rules were rules.
Today, while he was in charge here, anyone who broke the rules would be at odds with him, Wang Zhen.
"With Wang Beixuan of Tianyun Peak present, Ye Changkong should be somewhat hesitant."
Although Wang Beixuan was suppressed by Wang Zhen and couldn't interfere in the battle on stage, his name among the outer disciples allowed many people to secretly whisper about him.
Many people thought that Ye Changkong would give Wang Beixuan face and spare Huang Wei's life.
"Why can't I kill someone from Tianyun Peak?"
Ye Changkong paused for a moment and looked at Wang Beixuan.
"If you dare to do so, it would be offending Tianyun Peak. In the outer sect, you will have nowhere to hide," Wang Beixuan said with a high and mighty tone.
Ye Changkong curled his lips in a cold smile. He really hated this kind of person who acted superior in front of him. During his three years in the low-ranked disciple courtyard, everyone had displayed a superior feeling of arrogance in front of him.
Now that he was promoted to the inner sect, he never expected that people would still look down on him.
Tianren Peak was undoubtedly the number one peak in the outer sect, but this did not mean that Ye Changkong was scared!
"Just know your place."
After hearing Ye Changkong's words, Wang Beixuan arrogantly assumed that Ye Changkong was frightened. Hethen proudly raised his chin and showed a contemptuous expression.
"That's easy."
"I hate being threatened by others."
Ye Changkong snorted, no longer hesitated, lifted his foot and stomped hard on Huang Wei's forehead.
If he were to step down, Huang Wei's head would be crushed.
"You!"
Ye Changkong's action instantly made Wang Beixuan's face extremely sinister.
How could a rubbish from the menial palace dare to disobey him?
If Wang Zhen wasn't present, he would have rushed up to tear Ye Changkong apart.
"You're not good enough, what about my face? Are you willing to give it to me?"
When Ye Changkong's foot was just an inch away from Huang Wei's forehead, he stopped abruptly, and his whole body was pushed back by a burst of spiritual power.
The chief of Tianyun Peak, Luo Qing, appeared above the arena at some point and saved Huang Wei from a critical moment.
"Elder Luo Qing, is it appropriate for you to do so?"
Wang Zhen's brow furrowed as he rose to the sky and hovered halfway, looking straight at Luo Qing.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Luo Qing's strong momentum softened a bit, and his tone became much milder. After all, Wang Zhen's prestige and status among the outer disciples were slightly higher than his, and he didn't want to make a fuss about it.
With these words from Luo Qing, Wang Zhen didn't say anything more but just floated silently in mid-air.
"Elder!" Several disciples of Tianyun Peak like Wang Beixuan immediately showed joy and bowed to Luo Qing respectfully.
"We pay our respects to Elder Luo."
All the disciples present also bowed to Luo Qing.
"Hmm."
Elder Luo Qing enjoyed the feeling of being worshiped by thousands of people. He waved his sleeve, sparing the disciples from having to bow.
"Elder... Elder... save me, k... kill him!"
Huang Wei, who was standing on the ground covered in blood and flesh, gasped weakly for help.
"Shut up, you disgraceful thing."
Luo Qing coldly shouted, his face looking grim.
Although Huang Wei was not a disciple of his Tianren Peak, Luo Qing himself had assigned him to listen in, and to see him defeated by a casual cultivator from the Zayi Hall was really embarrassing him.
However, when his gaze fell on Ye Changkong, he was quite surprised because the fact that Ye Changkong could beat Huang Wei so badly proved his strength.
When Luo Qing was struggling against Ye Changkong and being crushed, he was informed by the disciples under the peak. He didn't care about it at first, but when he learned that Huang Wei was one of the four people in the inner sect, he immediately rushed here to save his face.
He vaguely remembered the scene when Ye Changkong switched his identity in the Elder's Pavilion more than a month ago. If he knew Ye Changkong had such potential back then, he would not have scolded him so severely and even took him into Tianyun peaks as an outer disciple.
Until now, after seeing the miserable appearance of Huang Wei, Luo Qing felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
"Ye Changkong, I know you did this just to get my attention." Luo Qing looked down on Ye Changkong, and spoke with an imperious tone, "Stop now, you have proved yourself, and I am willing to accept you as a disciple of Tianyun Peak."
This sentence caused an uproar in the audience. Many people were envious of Ye Changkong being acknowledged by Luo Qing since Tianyun Peak was the top peak for the outer disciples, and anyone would want to join it.
However, Ye Changkong sneered inwardly at Luo Qing's arrival invitation. He bent down to pick up the short knife that fell to the ground and said sarcastically, "Elder Luo Qing, in my eyes, Tianyun Peak is not as great as you think it is. Whether or not I enter Tianyun Peak doesn't matter now. Anyway, the Outer Sect Large Competition is about to begin, and I will enter the Inner Sect soon."
Not only did this statement deeply offend Luo Qing but gave off an unshakable sense of confidence and courage.
Among so many disciples in the outer sect, only Ye Changkong dared to challenge Luo Qing like this!
"He actually refused!"
"He really doesn't give anyface. Who does he think he is? He thinks he can enter the Inner Sect by just saying it?"
The audience burst into an uproar, and they began to whisper and discuss wildly.
"Do you dare say that again?"
Luo Qing's chest heaved violently, a chill appeared in his eyes, and his expression turned dark. At this moment, a powerful aura emanated from his body.
What was this?
This was him getting slapped in front of everyone!
"Elder Luo Qing, please behave yourself."
Wang Zhen in mid-air also became serious. He secretly channeled his spiritual power, preparing to make a move at any time.
"Elder Luo Qing, has anyone ever told you that you are very conceited?"
Ye Changkong's words were full of sneering. "I want to kill Huang Wei not because I want your attention but because I want to. I don't care about whether or not I join Tianyun Peak. Soon enough, I will enter into the Inner Sect anyway on my own terms."
With these words, a huge killing intent arose within him, replacing the smile on his face.
As soon as he moved, he plunged the short knife in his hand into Huang Wei's throat mercilessly.
Blood spurted out, and in an instant, everything became silent.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they looked incredibly shocked.
Even Elder Luo Qing himself had never thought that Ye Changkong was so daring that he dared to kill the person he wanted to protect right in front of him. (To be continued...)
