Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 147 - 145: Overwhelming Wentian

Wentian was imposing in stature, with his hair cascading down his back; the sheer ferocity of his aura was enough to send shivers down one’s spine without the chill of cold.

"My opponent is Junior Brother Zhao Qian. I suggest everyone else wisely concede defeat to avoid undue humiliation," Wentian declared, standing tall in the square with his arms crossed, speaking quite casually.

He had not the slightest iota of interest regarding the opponent he was about to face.

And the reality was exactly that. Having pledged allegiance to the Third Elder for seven years now, he had journeyed beyond the borders of Black Dragon Country, cultivating his fierce aura through countless battles.

Even the Great Elder had once suggested that if Wentian so wished, he could effortlessly secure a spot among the top thirty on the Hidden Dragon List of Black Dragon Country, attesting to the terrifying extent of Wentian’s strength.

Therefore, when those words were spoken, everyone found it to be quite normal, for Wentian possessed such strength and confidence.

Thud!

Just then, a figure walked into the center of the square.

"Hmph, still has the nerve to enter the arena upon encountering me? Truly ignorant of life and death!" Wentian snorted coldly, turning his head to look over, his eyes flashing with intense coldness.

"I, Xiao Ye, have never had the habit of conceding without a fight," Xiao Ye declared, his expression stern and his robes flapping, showing no trace of fear.

Wentian suddenly let out a cold laugh. His mission from the Third Elder was to stop Xiao Ye from advancing to the top three in the competition. He had been eager to teach Xiao Ye a lesson and hadn’t expected to encounter him so soon.

"Xiao Ye, you’ve truly irritated me. Now that you’ve met me, you can only blame your bad luck. Your journey in the competition ends here!" Wentian shouted, his formidable power undulating like surging waves throughout the arena, even shaking the energy shield set up by the Vice Sect Leader.

Innate Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage!

Such cultivation seemed an insurmountable mountain pressing down on the disciples, making even their breathing difficult.

Yet what shocked them even more was still to come.

"Xiao Ye, do you think this is my true strength? Then you are mistaken!" Wentian bellowed, his voice booming like thunder in the void, causing everyone’s eardrums to ache. freewebnøvel_com

Hiss hiss hiss!

Wentian’s muscles abruptly swelled, shattering his shirt and revealing his iron-cast physique, exploding with raw power.

In an instant, a wild and ferocious aura pervaded the arena, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Wentian, at that moment, was like a humanoid ferocious beast. Who would dare to challenge him?

"Xiao Ye, this is my true power, and my physical body is invincible in our realm! I would even dare to fight a martial artist in the late stages of the Innate Realm Nine Layers!" Wentian clenched his fists, his sneer filled with malice.

"You should be proud to witness my true strength!"

Hiss!

Hearing these words, many disciples gasped. Wentian’s true strength was too terrifying, and securing the top spot in the competition didn’t seem challenging for him.

"Third Brother!" Yu Fang and the others were deeply worried.

However, Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his face full of disdain: "Body Combat Skill!"

How could Wentian’s Body Combat Skill surpass the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique? Xiao Ye had already reached the Late Stage of the Innate Realm Ninth Layer by the sheer strength of his physical body. What right had Wentian to compare with him?

"Is that so? Then let me see your invincible body for myself," Xiao Ye said, his curiosity apparent.

He was indeed very curious. After all, this was the first time he had encountered a martial artist who had cultivated a Body Combat Skill.

"Hmph, get lost!" Xiao Ye’s attitude completely infuriated Wentian, who shouted and left an afterimage where he stood, appearing in front of Xiao Ye in an instant.

Boom!

Wentian was like a peerless ferocious beast, his towering body exuding a suffocating aura, and he hammered down a simple, brutal punch towards Xiao Ye.

Boom!

The void undulated like the surface of a lake, spreading out in all directions, and the terrifying force was suffocating, as if even a mountain would be crushed to pieces.

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed with divine light, his war intent soaring, with no hint of retreat. His Silent Annihilation Hand collided with Wentian’s strike, instantly erupting with a deafening roar.

The ground of the square shook, then cracked open with numerous fissures, and sank several inches in.

Bang!

The Perfection Level Silent Annihilation Hand was instantly crushed by Wentian’s punch, and Xiao Ye, like a cannonball, was violently blasted away.

"Has Xiao Ye lost?" The square suddenly quieted down.

Although everyone had anticipated Xiao Ye’s defeat, they didn’t expect it to happen so swiftly—blasted away by a single punch from Wentian.

Yu Fang and the others looked pale, sweat beading on their foreheads. Had Xiao Ye’s journey in the competition ended here?

"Couldn’t withstand a single hit." Wentian’s face was full of mockery. He was about to walk away when his expression suddenly froze, for Xiao Ye was walking out from the ruins.

"Third Brother hasn’t lost yet!" Yu Fang and the others immediately shouted excitedly.

"Let’s go again!" Xiao Ye’s gaze was intense. He unleashed the Silent Annihilation Hand across the void, taking the initiative to attack Wentian.

With his physical defense, Wentian couldn’t harm him at all. The reason he hadn’t unleashed his physical body power was to observe Wentian’s Body Combat Skill more and gain more combat experience.

"He’s unscathed!"

Wentian snorted coldly, his body shooting out like a blast, his fists like two mountains, shaking the heavens and pressing down on Xiao Ye.

Boom!

The battle between the two erupted once again.

Xiao Ye was continuously sent flying while observing Wentian’s Body Combat Skill, only to stand up and charge towards Wentian again.

"Holy shit, is this guy unkillable?" Even the Registered Disciples began to notice something amiss; Xiao Ye seemed to be at a disadvantage, yet Wentian had not managed to injure him.

"Xiao Ye’s physical defense seems to be incredibly strong," the Great Elder remarked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The expression of the Third Elder was as cold as frost, her discerning gaze naturally picking up on this as well.

"Seeing Xiao Ye, it actually reminds me of someone," the Second Elder, who had been intently watching Xiao Ye, suddenly said.

This statement piqued the interest of the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and the Fourth Elder.

"Do you remember, a mysterious young talent named Ye Xiao recently emerged in the Black Dragon Country, practicing the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, with Physical Body Power that has broken through to Three Tripods?" the Second Elder spoke slowly.

When the name Ye Xiao echoed throughout the Black Dragon Country and ranked on the Hidden Dragon List, the four Black Robed Elders had taken special note of this for some time.

"Second brother, are you saying... that Xiao Ye is Ye Xiao?" Even the usually silent Fourth Elder was taken aback.

"Ye Xiao, Xiao Ye!" With the Second Elder’s reminder, the Great Elder’s eyes lit up, "It must be this kid. Fourth brother, you’ve really taken on a good Disciple."

The Great Elder said this with some regret, wondering why he did not choose Xiao Ye back then.

Standing next to the Third Elder, Liu Yiyi’s clear eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief. Could Xiao Ye actually be a young talent like Ye Xiao?

There were rumors that Ye Xiao’s strength could rival that of a Martial Artist in the Late Stage of the Innate Realm Ninth Layer, and Xiao Ye was so young!

"It can’t be him." Liu Yiyi’s heart was in turmoil as she muttered softly.

...

Bang!

After sending Xiao Ye flying once more, Wentian’s face grew dark and his heart was flooded with raging anger.

"Who the hell can tell me what’s going on! Why can’t I injure this kid?" Wentian roared internally, his face contorted with frustration.

Too humiliating!

Despite unleashing all his strength, he was unable to harm Xiao Ye, which left him feeling indignant.

Da!

A familiar set of footsteps sounded, making Wentian’s heart skip a beat. He looked up and, sure enough, he saw Xiao Ye walking out from the ruins, a barely-there sneer on his face as if looking at a clown.

"Wentian, is this the so-called ’Invincible Body’ you pride yourself on? Truly disappointing," Xiao Ye shook his head and commented.

After such a fierce battle, he had completely figured out the power of the opponent’s Body Combat Skill. He was indeed very disappointed.

"You brat, no one of the same generation in the Black Dragon Country can mock me!" Wentian’s forehead veins bulged as he furiously charged towards Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye stood firm, his dark pupils suddenly shot out two divine lights like tangible swords, meeting Wentian head-on.

"Today, I’ll let you witness what an Invincible Body really is!"

Xiao Ye roared, and a surging tide of Blood Qi suddenly emerged, a colossal column of Blood Qi Qi shot up into the Nine Heavens like a roaring Yangtze River, stirring the Nine-layered Heaven.

At this moment, the wind and clouds changed color, the ground beneath Xiao Ye trembled violently, cracking open.

Boom!

That surging and tumultuous Blood Qi interwove and formed three Giant Cauldrons, exuding an aura that seemed to suppress All Heavens.

"Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!" Wentian’s face was filled with shock, but his fist had already reached Xiao Ye’s face.

Xiao Ye, like an invincible Demon God, his hair wildly dancing, had an overwhelmingly frightening presence. He nonchalantly extended a hand and tightly grasped Wentian’s fist, stopping it in its tracks.

Wentian was utterly stunned; the power surging through Xiao Ye’s body was incredibly strong. Throughout his years of training abroad, he could count on one hand the peers he’d met with such power.

"Wentian, with such measly power, you hoped to thwart my path in the great tournament?" Xiao Ye scoffed coldly, pushing his palm forward. The terrifying Physical Body Power fiercely collided with Wentian’s body.

Any defense Wentian had paled and became powerless before this terrifying Physical Body Power.

Splurt!

Wentian’s head reared back as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a meteor, smashing into the ground; his hand bones shattered, revealing ghastly white bone amidst the blood.

"He’s clearly so powerful, yet he feigned weakness. He’s been toying with me!" Wentian’s eyes were slit with rage, and after a furious roar, he charged at Xiao Ye once again.

"Don’t think your trivial light can compete with the brightness of the Sun and Moon," Xiao Ye disdainfully sneered, casually sending out a palm strike that caused the void to cave in. Wentian was blasted away before he could even get close to Xiao Ye, caught by the Third Elder in a swift motion.

"Wentian has lost." The Third Elder’s phoenix eyes shimmered coldly as she spoke indifferently, then took Wentian away to heal his injuries.

By this point, she had realized that Xiao Ye was Ye Xiao, and Wentian was no match for him.

The arena first fell silent, then erupted in thunderous cheers as the many Disciples looked at Xiao Ye with fervent gazes.

A complete rout!

Xiao Ye had thoroughly overwhelmed Wentian in defeat.

If Xiao Ye had shown his Physical Body Power from the start, Wentian wouldn’t have been able to take a single hit.

"He really is Ye Xiao!" From afar, Liu Yiyi stared at Xiao Ye with a shocked expression.
