Chapter 602 - 415: Senior, Save Me—Crush Ye Jian!
In such a short period of one or two months, he went from a Sixth Level Martial Artist to the strength of a Titled Great Grandmaster. Such a leap in power is truly astonishing.
"I understand now, Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian have really thought this through!"
"After today’s battle, regardless of the outcome, Su Mu will surely shock Huaxia. Then, the extraordinary selection for the war zone commander that breaks the norms will proceed without obstruction or doubt."
"Who would dare question a thirty-three-year-old prodigy whose strength rivals a Titled Great Grandmaster?"
At this moment, Zhao Dong was filled with countless thoughts and emotions. He just didn’t realize that his already astonishing guess was dwarfed by what Su Mu was about to do.
And his estimation of Su Mu’s current strength was still too low.
Or perhaps, everyone else, except Su Mu himself, far underestimated him!
On the spectator stand, Ye Xuanshan, the current Patriarch of the Ye Family, frowned. It was this Su Mu again, and as he watched the figure on the Martial Arts Arena, he grew increasingly irritable.
He wanted to see what made Su Mu so arrogant, and if he lacked the strength, he might as well die here today at the Ye Family.
"Fists and kicks have no eyes. Since both sides are willing, let’s begin."
Ye Xuanshan spoke calmly, but upon hearing the words about fists and kicks, Ye Jian’s eyes flickered with a sharp glint, and the Western martial artists present watched with an ever stronger expression of watching a show.
Anyone could hear the implication in the Ye Family Patriarch’s words, and his hidden anger.
"Heh, fists and kicks have no eyes, this Su Mu is doomed. His act is nothing less than provoking the entire Ye Family, and the Patriarch is clearly hinting that Ye Jian can strike with lethal intent."
"Hmph, arrogance does come with a price. Does he really think the Ye Family wouldn’t dare harm him?"
Ye Wuhen sighed, knowing that the situation was irreversible, at least beyond what he could stop.
With Ye Xuanshan’s approval, Ye Jian no longer concealed his murderous intent, and he sneered, "Su Mu, you should feel honored. If not for the Ye Family’s grand banquet, a person like you wouldn’t even have the privilege to stand before me, let alone fight on the same stage..."
"Are you done? Is there anything else you want to say?"
Unmoved by the taunt, Su Mu maintained a calm expression as if looking at a dead man.
But Ye Jian was oblivious, filled with ecstasy. Yesterday, he thought the Ye Family’s Martial Saint Tower was out of reach, but today Su Mu presented him with another opportunity.
As long as he kills this arrogant Su Mu in the Martial Arts Arena, there’s still a chance to salvage everything!
But killing alone isn’t enough. He must seize this opportunity to showcase his strength and magnanimity!
Thinking of this, Ye Jian felt a burning enthusiasm in his heart.
"Both parties, please take your positions."
With these words, both sides turned and walked to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.
Ye Jian walked proudly, a powerful aura spreading from him. With each step, his aura surged stronger.
First Forging.
Second Forging.
Third Forging.
...
At the final step, Ye Jian’s aura abruptly crossed the Fifth Forging, causing the cold wind around him to freeze, turning into frost.
Feeling this aura of a Titled Grandmaster, the upper echelons of the Ye Family on the spectator stand displayed pride and satisfaction, while the martial artists from the Western countries showed expressions of shock.
"What a strong aura, the rumors aren’t false, this is truly the aura of a Titled Grandmaster, and Ye Jian really got promoted!"
"Silent until now, a single startling act, Ye Jian has just advanced to Titled Grandmaster but doesn’t have an official title yet."
"This battle will be Ye Jian’s title battle. A prodigy achieving a title before fifty, what will his title be, too bad his opponent is so weak!"
Hearing the discussions in the crowd, Ye Jian’s face radiated even more joy and pride.
In contrast to Ye Jian’s moment in the spotlight, Su Mu walked unhurriedly and didn’t garner much attention. However, when the current Ye Family Patriarch’s gaze fell on Su Mu, his right eyelid suddenly began to twitch.
Ye Xuanshan stared intensely at Su Mu on the field. After meeting with the ancestor, he had the detailed information about Su Mu brought to him, including the ordeal with the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
"An illusion? How could a person newly entering the Grandmaster level make me feel so unsettled?"
Ye Xuanshan was startled, sensing that Su Mu possessed a power capable of threatening him, but how could that be possible?!
Ye Xuanshan’s expression remained unchanged, subtly observing his surroundings with his peripheral vision. Beside him were men who by seniority were uncles within the Ye Family and Titled Grandmasters as well, not ordinary Titled Grandmasters. Yet, none of these people showed any reaction.
"It must be the ancestral commands affecting my mood lately. No matter how monstrous Su Mu is, he couldn’t possibly be a match for Ye Jian. Even Huangfu Tian, starting at a Grandmaster, couldn’t do it."
If the Drunkard and the Silver Bell Maiden were present, the Silver Bell Maiden would surely repeat her saying: "He passed without leaving a trace, like the wind’s gentle sweep."
On the Martial Arts Arena, Su Mu took the final step, facing a distance of kilometers, and a voice brimming with impatience and excitement echoed.
"Su Mu, come on, I’ll let you have three moves."
"Are you sure?"
Su Mu turned, a broad smile spreading across his face.
"Of course, when I, Ye Jian, say something, I mean it." Ye Jian stated resolutely; he was going to let Su Mu have three moves to demonstrate his generosity, confident that he had the capital to be magnanimous. To him, the other was just an ant he could crush at will.
"Alright, it’s the first time I truly face a Titled Grandmaster, are you ready, Ye Jian?"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xue and Ye Wuhen shivered thoroughly, pupils narrowing. They had seen this scene before!
The images from Celestial Cloud Mountain fused with the present moment!
"Could it be..." Ye Wuhen displayed disbelief.
On the Martial Arts Arena, Ye Jian felt enraged by the remark, utter arrogance!
Just an ant, close to the end of his life, still unaware, and now he even smiled asking him if he was prepared? Truly reckless!
Thinking so, Ye Jian appeared calm and composed.
"Of course, you can start at any time..."
"That’s good then."
Before Ye Jian finished his words, Su Mu’s nose twitched slightly, like a dragon’s breath, freezing the surrounding air in that instant.
Then as Su Mu clenched his fist, the blade-like cold wind instantly dissipated, and the swirling snow completely froze.
Outside the Ye Family, on Ye City’s streets, a child excitedly pointed to the sky.
"Dad, Dad, look, the snow stopped."
At that moment, everyone in Ye City stopped, raising their heads. They saw the swirling snow suspended in mid-air.
People were filled with shock and awe, knowing well that this power, causing the city-wide snow to halt, originated from the Ye Family.
"How terrifying, the Ye Family truly is a top-notch Martial Arts Family!"
Ye Family Martial Arts Arena.
Su Mu’s eyes flickered with the Great Sage’s sword strike against the flood dragon, and as he willed it, the Martial God State descended, unleashing twelve tides of Immortal Power.
Su Mu slowly raised two fingers of his right hand.
Clang!
All weaponed martial artists on the field were horrified to find their blades humming. Without Qi and Blood suppression, they could shoot away at any moment.
In the next moment, Su Mu’s hand blade descended.
"Phoenix Cry!"
Feeling the menace of this strike, Ye Jian trembled all over. Every inch of his skin, every ounce of flesh sensed an overwhelmingly intense aura of death, this strike was beyond his capacity, absolutely impossible to handle.
Even if Ye Jian were several times stronger, he wouldn’t have a chance against it; this strike was too powerful!
He will die, he will definitely die!
"No, this can’t be..."
"Senior, help me, save..."
In the next moment.
The Ye Family members, and everyone in Ye City witnessed an unforgettable sight: the suspended snow in the city moved, not falling to the ground but instead rushing upwards toward the heavens.
A proud Phoenix Cry resounded, as the Ice Phoenix spread its wings, soaring up ninety thousand meters.
Immediately, in the vast white firmament, the sky full of snow transformed into a dazzling ice river, eternal as time, the Ice Phoenix indestructible as it danced, revolving with chilling might.
All of it unfolded in the blink of an eye, as everyone focused on Ye Jian, waiting for him to crush that arrogant Su Mu.
But...
Until that moment, everyone realized in shock that the one to be crushed was not Su Mu, but Ye Jian, the Titled Grandmaster who flaunted his newfound prestige!
