Chapter 17: Repelling A Martial Master Realm Expert
Not only Mo Canglan, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect, was bewildered, but the others were equally astonished.
"What's going on? The number one talent in Liang Province had his arm severed?"
"This shouldn't be! Yang Tiangui possesses many treasures. In theory, no one should be his match within the ruins, right?"
"Could it be that he was injured by a demonic beast? But how could a demonic beast create such a clean wound?"
Various voices filled with confusion and perplexity rang out.
The powerful expert in the Martial Master Realm who had escorted Yang Tiangui stood not far from Mo Canglan. Upon witnessing this scene, he quickly flew over and brought Yang Tiangui in front of Mo Canglan.
"Tiangui, what happened to you?!" Mo Canglan's voice was low.
"I I've been ambushed!" Yang Tiangui said with bitterness and anger.
"Ambushed? Explain the situation in detail!"
"It's like this. Based on the map clues left by my senior brother from the last time we entered the ruins, I went straight to the Extreme Yang Valley to harvest the Purple Yang Flowers that hadn't fully matured three years ago. However, unexpectedly, I was ambushed by a couple, who took advantage of my inattention and severed one of my arms!"
Sensing the gaze of many people, Yang Tiangui raised his voice, "If it weren't for the ambush, how could I, Yang Tiangui, the renowned number one talent in Liang Province, lose to anyone else?!"
"So, it was an ambush!"
"Well, Yang Tiangui's strength in the Essence Condensation Realm is unparalleled!"
"But speaking of it, although it was an ambush, that couple must also possess a certain level of strength; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sever Yang Tiangui's arm!"
The people around suddenly realized.
Yang Tiangui breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Naturally, he couldn't admit that it was due to his own inferior skills. Not only would he embarrass himself, but it would also damage the reputation of the Sky Gate Sect.
Even Mo Canglan would probably berate him as a waste!
By slightly modifying his explanation, he could find a plausible excuse for his failure and let Su Zhan and Su Zhaoyue be despised by others.
Two birds with one stone!
"How despicable! Those two vile people dare to plot against disciples of our Sky Gate Sect!" Mo Canglan raged.
Yang Tiangui persisted and exaggeratedly said, "Those two individuals were extremely arrogant, especially that Su Zhan. Despite knowing my identity as a disciple, he still intended to kill me! If it weren't for me consuming a Blood Ignition Pill to stimulate my potential, I'm afraid I would have perished by now! Afterward, despite being seriously injured, I sought opportunities for revenge and searched for other treasures and spiritual herbs within the ruins. I persevered until now before finally coming out of the ruins!"
"You have done well. It's just that you don't understand the treacherous nature of the martial world, falling victim to the schemes of petty individuals," Mo Canglan said in a deep voice.
In truth, he didn't completely believe Yang Tiangui's words either. He knew the character of his disciple quite well, and it was likely that Yang Tiangui had provoked those two individuals first.
However, none of that mattered. As long as they laid a hand on Yang Tiangui, they deserved to die!
In the fantasy world, the fist was the ultimate truth.
Yang Tiangui's words were merely giving him a better excuse to take action.
Mo Canglan's expression grew dark, and his gaze fixed upon the barrier of the formation. He said, "If you were to see those two individuals again, would you recognize them?"
"I definitely would!"
"Very well. We'll stay here and wait for them to come out!"
"Thank you, Sect Master, for helping me seek revenge!" Yang Tiangui sneered inwardly.
Su Zhan, no matter how talented you are, what difference does it make in front of the Sect Master?
As Yang Tiangui appeared, the curiosity of the experts regarding the mysterious genius who could achieve the Great Sun God's Body grew even stronger.
Every person who came out of the ruins was carefully examined.
Although their cultivation was unable to determine who possessed the Divine Body, those who had it must have exceptional talents. They could at least make a rough judgment based on their observations.
Two hours later, the fluctuations in the formation barrier rippled once again, and Su Zhan and Su Zhaoyue walked out one after another.
"Why are there so many people outside?" Su Zhaoyue said with some confusion.
"Let's go. Those people have nothing to do with us," Su Zhan replied, feeling a bit puzzled himself. He shook his head and continued walking forward.
"Su Zhan! I finally caught up with you!" an angry voice sounded before they had taken a few steps.
Only then did Su Zhan notice Yang Tiangui not far away, pointing at himself and saying something to Mo Canglan.
"Is this the person who ambushed you, Yang Tiangui?"
"Look at his extraordinary temperament and excellent talent. How could he be someone who would resort to ambush?"
"Alas! What a pity. I was just thinking about going up and asking him if he would be willing to join my sect. But now that he has offended the Sky Gate Sect, let's forget about it."
Listening to the discussions around him, Su Zhan felt somewhat bewildered.
When did he ambush Yang Tiangui?
Just as he furrowed his brow, preparing to say a few words to clear his own innocence, the early stage Martial Master Realm elder from the Sky Gate Sect strode towards him.
"How dare you ambush and plot against our Sky Gate Sect genius! You shall die!" The elder snorted coldly, and a palm shot out from a distance of fifty meters, heading towards Su Zhan.
True qi surged, forming a true essence palm print of one meter in size, containing immense power, flying towards Su Zhan!
Not even giving him a chance to explain? Su Zhan's brow furrowed.
As the cultivation realm advanced, the disparities grew larger. While he could kill a Essence Condensation Realm opponent with his Qi Sea Realm cultivation, it didn't mean he could challenge a Martial Master Realm opponent with his Essence Condensation Realm cultivation.
Although the elder seemed to be only in the early stage of the Martial Master Realm, Su Zhan couldn't afford to be careless!
True qi circulated as Su Zhan thrust out his sword.
This sword contained the pinnacle of his Swift Wind Steps, Diamond Body Sutra, and Cold Sword Technique, powered by the true essence of the Cold Jade Art.
Additionally, after his transformation into a Divine Body, although his true essence attribute still temporarily remained icy from the Cold Jade Art, it carried a domineering aura of the Great Sun, greatly increasing its power.
"How is this possible!" After Su Zhan made his sword strike, the elder in the Martial Master Realm immediately sensed the immense strength behind it. His face changed, and he instinctively tried to dodge.
But it was already too late.
That one sword directly shattered the true qi palm print and the sword qi continued forward, sending the elder flying!
"Pu!" After being thrown back more than ten meters, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with astonishment as he looked at Su Zhan.
Why was the sword technique of a mid-stage Essence Condensation Realm so powerful?!
Not only him, but everyone around was also shocked by this.
Mo Canglan, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect, had a glimmer in his eyes as he thought of a certain possibility. He extended a hand and pressed it into the void towards Su Zhan.
Immediately, a pressure several times stronger than that of the previous elder appeared above Su Zhan.
The imposing aura of a Martial Master Realm expert!
Under that pressure, Su Zhan didn't hesitate and directly chose to activate his Great Sun Divine Body.
Golden lights appeared from his body, and a faint image of a great sun appeared behind him. Su Zhan swung his sword upwards, and the pressure instantly dissipated.
"It's really you!" Mo Canglan's eyes brightened, speaking with some pleasant surprise.
"Sect Master, this person not only ambushed and attacked our disciples but also injured the elder. Please, Sect Master, take action and kill him immediately!"
Yang Tiangui also didn't expect Su Zhan to have become so much stronger. At this moment, he was even more eager to kill Su Zhan and quickly spoke up.
"Shut up!"
A reprimanding voice exploded in his ears, and Yang Tiangui was startled, looking at Mo Canglan with some confusion.
However, soon, the confusion on his face turned into bewilderment.
They saw that Mo Canglan, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect, wore a benevolent smile on his face, showing no hostility. He walked to the front of Su Zhan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Young Friend Su, to be that peerless genius! It seems this was all a misunderstanding!
"Young Friend Su, our Sky Gate Sect is the number one sect in Liang Province. If you're willing to join the Sky Gate Sect, I can take you as my exclusive direct disciple. The best cultivation techniques, the finest elixirs, and the most beautiful maidens of the sect will all be yours alone!"
