Chapter 1680: A Sneak Attack

“You…”

Li Cangsheng’s face was so gloomy it looked like water would drip from it; this wasn’t just a slap to the face, it was like being kicked.

What made him most uncomfortable wasn't the loss of face, but the loss of strength for the Diancang Sect.

Li Minghai and Li Ying had already been crippled, and now the Third Elder and the Grand Elder, two Martial Saints, had both died. This was an absolutely huge loss for their Diancang Sect; it was no exaggeration to call it a devastating blow.

Li Cangsheng looked at Ye Tian on the stage, his eyes spitting fire: “Young man, this was originally a martial arts sparring match, but you constantly take lives. Isn't your approach a bit too ruthless?

Ye Bufan said, “Sect Leader Li, what you’re saying is wrong. You were the one who said it was a fight to the death earlier. If my brother had just lost, would your Diancang Sect people have shown mercy?”

The people around them all shook their heads repeatedly. This Diancang Sect had previously insisted on a fight to the death, clearly intending to kill.

Now that two of their own had died in succession, they turned around and accused the other party of being ruthless. This kind of demeanor truly left people speechless.

Li Cangsheng snorted coldly, “Young man, I won’t waste any more words with you. Let’s have a fight to the death.”

With that, he took a step and directly arrived on the arena.

He had realized that the Young man in front of him could instantly kill even a Martial Saint Peak, so anyone else coming would just be committing suicide. He could only fight personally.

“Ye Tian, I’ll do it!”

Ye Bufan swapped Ye Tian out, then stood opposite Li Cangsheng.

“Young man, you dare to be an enemy of my Diancang Sect. Today, I’ll see what you’re capable of.”

Li Cangsheng’s expression was sinister. After speaking, the Aura of an Emperor Realm expert suddenly erupted, and a powerful pressure instantly filled the entire venue, causing even the crowd below the stage to involuntarily retreat.

Emperor Realm Middle Stage!

The people from other Schools around secretly clicked their tongues. Although they all disdained the Diancang Sect’s actions, they hadn't expected that this Li Cangsheng had already Broken through to the Emperor Realm Middle Stage.

“This is trouble now. Ye Bufan can’t possibly be a match for Li Cangsheng, can he…?”

“There’s a world of difference between a Martial Saint and an Emperor Realm; they’re completely incomparable. Moreover, Li Cangsheng is an Emperor Realm Middle Stage. The Young man is in danger…”

“I wonder if Palace Master Lin will make a move. He wouldn't just watch his own son die, would he…?”

The people present discussed animatedly, all looking at Lin Zhentian nearby.

At this moment, Lin Zhentian’s expression was calm, as if he were merely a spectator, showing no intention of making a move whatsoever.

Seeing this situation, Li Cangsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Ye Bufan: “Young man, I’ll let you have three moves. You go first.”

After all, he was the Sect Leader of the Diancang Sect, famous for many years. Making a move against a junior was, in any case, not a glorious thing, so he put on a pretense and decided to let the other party have three moves.

In fact, in his heart, even if he let the other party have 30 moves, it would be useless. The strength of an Emperor Realm expert was there; the other party had no chance of winning at all.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, then shook his head: “Let’s not. What if Sect Leader Li says I ambushed him if I go first? Wouldn’t that be an unfair victory?”

“I…”

Li Cangsheng was publicly humiliated again, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

“Young man, stop talking nonsense. Are you fighting or not?”

Ye Bufan said to the surroundings: “Everyone saw it; Sect Leader Li told me to make a move. This can’t be considered an ambush…”

Then he looked at Li Cangsheng again: “Sect Leader Li, are you sure you want me to go first? Don’t regret it!”

“Stop talking nonsense, go…”

Li Cangsheng had just spoken halfway when a sudden surge of hidden force struck, hitting him hard in the chest. Caught off guard, it sent him staggering back seven or eight steps.

Fortunately, the Emperor Realm expert's protective True Qi was formidable, barely managing to block this move.

Taking a hidden loss right at the start made him furious.

He hadn't expected the other party to start ambushing while speaking, yet the other party did it openly and honestly, leaving him speechless, as he was the one who had told the other party to go first.

Ye Bufan first secretly launched a Shadowless Divine Fist, then his figure flickered, and he appeared behind Li Cangsheng, striking another punch at the other party’s back.

The speed was simply too fast; even the crowd below the stage didn't clearly see how he moved. It had already exceeded the scope of movement techniques; this was his second unique skill, instantaneous movement.

Li Cangsheng, of course, hadn't expected the other party to be so fast. He had just suffered a hidden loss and hadn't even recovered his breath. At this moment, it was too late to dodge, so he could only desperately circulate the True Qi within his body and forcibly endure this palm strike.

Lightning flashed in Ye Bufan’s palm, clearly the Benlei Palm, striking solidly on his back.

With a muffled thud, Li Cangsheng’s protective True Qi did withstand the palm, but the strong electric current still caused his body to go numb.

“Damn it!”

Being hit repeatedly made him incredibly frustrated. He disregarded his promise to let the other party have three moves and prepared to strike, but just then, the second palm from behind arrived.

He desperately circulated his True Qi, preparing to resist a new wave of

lightning attacks.

However, this palm did not emit any electric current. Instead, an overwhelming cold Qi instantly froze his body.

Hanbing Palm, Ye Bufan directly switched to another move.

Li Cangsheng miscalculated again. The cold Qi entering his body significantly slowed down the flow of his True Qi.

At this moment, he felt a little panicked. As soon as they clashed, the opponent's methods were endless, leaving him completely defenseless.

Most importantly, the opponent was also an Emperor Realm expert. Although his cultivation was not as profound as his, several attacks would cause him immense harm.

He regretted it. If he had known the opponent was so powerful, he shouldn't have said anything about letting the other party have three moves.

At this moment, Li Cangsheng only wanted to quickly escape, then readjust his state and launch an attack.

Clearly, he thought too much. How could Ye Bufan give him this opportunity? The third palm immediately struck his back again.

This time, it was heavy and fierce, and it used the Blazing Fire Palm. The fiery True Qi, like magma, penetrated Li Cangsheng’s body and mixed with the previous cold Qi.

This enormous shift from Yin to Yang made him unable to bear it any longer. His Meridians shattered one after another, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a “wah” sound. Then, his entire body, like a kite with a broken string, flew forward and fell straight off the arena.

“Uh…”

The crowd below the stage was completely dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, almost popping out of their sockets.

What was happening? One must know that this was Li Cangsheng, the Sect Leader of the Diancang Sect, a mighty Emperor Realm Middle Stage expert. How did he lose like this?

Before, no one had thought Ye Bufan could win, nor had they imagined that this battle would be a one-sided affair. The Young man went up and secured victory with just three palms.

Li Cangsheng was in mid-air, feeling both aggrieved and furious, spitting out another large mouthful of fresh blood with a “wah” sound.

He was very clear about his current situation. Ye Bufan’s three palms, using three different techniques, had caused immense damage to his internal organs and Meridians.

Even if he could save his old life, he would probably be severely weakened in Origin Qi and unable to recover in a short period.

The most critical thing was that he was now falling from a height of several tens of meters. Severely injured, he was unable to activate his True Qi and could only watch helplessly as he fell to the ground.

The remaining Disciples of the Diancang Sect were completely terrified, standing there dumbfounded, completely forgetting to save their Sect Leader.

As Li Cangsheng was about to hit the ground, a figure flashed, and an old Daoist suddenly appeared below the stage. With a single hand extended, he lightly caught him.
