Chapter 37 - The Gap is Real

After the storm, many nobles and commoners came out and laughed heartily upon hearing Yehan's words.

"You are seeking death," Kristin, infuriated upon hearing Yehan boldly speaking of Richie's disgrace in his presence, was livid with rage.

"You think too highly of yourself. I need to keep my life to annihilate your entire Kreis family."

"How dare you threaten to kill us?"

"Arrogant, just a mere ninth rank, wait until you live to see the holy rank then..."

Yehan took out a long sword from his ring, pointing it at the two holy rank powerhouses standing in the air, "Only you old immortals would dare to say that. If it were the younger generation of your family, I could kill them with just one hand."

The four of the Kreis family, hearing Yehan's wildly arrogant claim that he could kill their middle-aged generation with just one hand, were enraged by such naked contempt.

"Is the ninth rank really that impressive? I will kill you right now," Kristin shouted angrily.

"Slow down," at this moment, a young man in his early twenties stepped out from the nearby crowd and said to Kristin in the air, "Family head, since he disrespects the new generation of our family, let me, as his peer, strike him down to prove to the world."

Kristin looked at the person below and nodded in agreement. With the approval, the young man coldly watched Yehan. "I am Ohe of the Kreis family's new generation. I will let you know the consequences of despising us."

Swoosh!

Ohe's body shone with a bright red light, and his long sword even spat out a sword light a foot long. He stomped hard on the ground, shooting towards Yehan in an instant, and the ground he stomped on cracked like a spider web spreading outwards.

Yehan was not slow either; he picked up the long sword in his hand, dazzling in the sunlight. The energy in his body flowed rapidly, pouring into the long sword through his meridians, making the sword emit a soft hum. At the same time, his body shot towards Ohe with even greater speed.

Ohe waved his long sword, and countless fiery sword lights shot forward. But Yehan still charged against the sword light, all the sword lights attacking his body were almost negligible against the formidable defense of his zombie body.

Yehan's long sword showed a grey glow, chopping horizontally, cutting through all the incoming red sword lights. But just about to hit Ohe, suddenly a wind blade fiercely blocked Yehan's sword momentum. With the sword momentum blocked, Ohe's subsequent attack was broken, and his sword also came at Yehan, who instantly increased his speed.

"Ha-ha, what a new generation of the Kreis family, proving to the world," Yehan's unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the area.

The surrounding people looked at Yehan, who was laughing loudly in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly stopped a seemingly fatal sword strike.

Only a few with higher strength saw clearly what had just happened.

"Shameless. The Kreis family actually did such a thing, truly shameless."

Suddenly, mocking and disdainful words about the Kreis family arose among the crowd, making the four Kreis members' faces even more sinister.

Ohe naturally knew what had just happened, furiously yelling at the four, "Why did you do this?" with a fierce gleam in his eyes.

"To save you," the elder said indifferently.

"Living like this is worse than death," Ohe roared.

"As you wish," Yehan, not far away, shook his long sword, and it immediately flew out of his hand, at a speed difficult to see with the naked eye, towards Ohe.

"Humph," the elder coldly snorted, his figure moving several times faster than the sword, flashing towards Ohe, trying to intercept the flying sword, but ultimately he was a step too late.

The long sword, like cutting through bamboo, a flash of grey light, blood sprayed into the air, and a head flew out. Ohe's headless corpse stood still for a moment before falling into a pool of blood, with blood gushing out like tap water.

Fast, the speed of the flying sword was too fast, so fast that it was unbelievable that even a holy rank powerhouse could not intercept it.

Everyone was astonished, surprised by Yehan's decisiveness, surprised by his boldness, to actually kill a scion of their family right under the eyes of the four powerhouses.

"I said, the younger generation of your family, I could annihilate with just one hand," Yehan stood proudly. His black robe fluttered with the wind, his sword pointed to the heavens, solidifying against the four powerhouses of the Kreis family.

At this moment, Yehan no longer appeared arrogant in everyone's eyes, but rather proud.

Arrogant and frivolous in his youthful exuberance,

Proud, with an air of imperious disdain,

Even in the face of holy ranks, he is fearless, decisive in his actions.

"Ohh," Kristin cried out, not expecting that the new generation of his family would be killed right in front of the four strong warriors, with even the most powerful father in the family unable to rescue them. At this moment, Kristin's hatred for Yehan reached its peak.

The elder watched quietly at the black-robed Yehan not far away. His eyes were ice cold, "The second son must not be left alive; he might indeed annihilate our family in the future."

That one sword strike from Yehan deeply shocked the elder. He was clear about his own speed. Even some saints who were a level higher in strength could not compare with his speed, but still, he could not intercept that flying sword.

In front of everyone, it was as if he had been slapped hard in the face, both his own and that of his family's.

Quietly watching everything from afar, the battle escalated in just a dozen seconds or so.

Watching the four enraged peak warriors, Yehan knew that unless he escaped now, once the four locked the surrounding space, his ability to escape would also become ineffective.

After witnessing the battle between Autricius and the Black Dragon Nilasek, Yehan was deeply shocked by the power of the holy ranks. The domain was not without effect.

The domain is the greatest gap between the holy ranks and those below the ninth rank.

This is the disparity, the disparity of time. He has practiced for only two or three years at most, reaching the level of the ninth rank on this continent, but compared to those old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, he is still weak, vulnerable to a single blow.

A hundred zhang radius was completely locked down by the four. Not a single gap was left. This is the utilization of space understood by the holy ranks, even without releasing their own domain they could completely block a certain range of space around them.

"I have to say, you are indeed a rare talent. Not only is your cultivation so high at such a young age, but even if you look at the entire continent, the number of people who can compare with you does not exceed two digits," the elder said regretfully.

"I have said, as long as I live, your Kreis family will be annihilated."

"Then go to die," Kristin, hovering in the air, upon hearing such arrogant words from Yehan, immediately disregarded his own identity and flew towards Yehan.

However, Yehan's action surprised everyone. He drew a long sword from his hand, held it across his chest, and shot out.

"Haha, let me experience the power of the holy ranks at the top of the continent today," the long sword in his hand flickered with a grey light.

"You are overestimating yourself," Kristin roared immediately. Yehan's action let him know, this was Yehan's contempt, disdain.

The two met in an instant, Kristin's eagle-claw-like hand tore down fiercely. A dense shadow of claws immediately obliterated Yehan on the ground.

The people around could not bear to see the young man under the black robe splattered with blood on the spot, they all closed their eyes, no one was optimistic about Yehan, the power of the holy ranks, deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Yehan raised his sword to block, and with a "crack", the long sword was instantly shattered by the tremendous force on Kristin's claws.

Without giving Yehan time to react, Kristin's second claw tore down. Yehan's reaction was not slow, his right hand covered with grey light, carrying the huge power to tear space, bombarded Kristin.

"Boom"

The fist struck Kristin's claws, emitting a thunderous explosion, Yehan was knocked flying, and Kristin was also forced back a few steps.

The naturally drooping right hand, a drop of dark red blood slowly fell down the arm. The arm could not help trembling slightly, Yehan coldly looked at Kristin in the air. That strike just now, with all his power, only forced him back a few steps.

Although the defense of the zombie body is strong, it will still be injured under absolute power. A fourth-rank zombie's body, a holy rank powerhouse can absolutely break through.

This is the gap,

 the gap in time, the gap in strength. Yehan, who is also at the top under the holy ranks, but facing the holy ranks, the disparity is too great.
