Chapter 411: Junior Brother, Are You Mistaken?

“Senior brothers, please help me!”

Wang He called out urgently to the several Void Refinement stage cultivators watching the battle.

The composure he once had vanished, replaced by a hint of fear.

The others didn’t know what had just happened, but he, at the center of the fight, saw everything clearly.

At the moment of the electric explosion, he summoned his flying sword artifact.

However, to his shock, facing the full force of his flying sword, Ji Yang simply grasped it with one hand and crushed it effortlessly, breaking the artifact he had refined for so long into two pieces!

Witnessing this, Wang He’s mental state crumbled.

Although his flying sword was merely a mid-grade treasure, it was not an ordinary item, yet now it had been easily broken by Ji Yang.

The damage to the artifact caused significant harm to his primordial spirit, but it was nothing compared to the blow to his confidence.

Nevertheless, Wang He did not give up; he was not alone, as many fellow disciples were nearby!

Surely, with so many of them, they could handle a single Ji Yang!

The onlookers below, who had been watching the battle, now saw Wang He’s plea for help and looked on in surprise, bewildered by how the situation had suddenly changed.

The few who were originally observing furrowed their brows; Wang He’s injury made them sense something was off.

In response to Wang He’s call for help, they would not stand by idly and quickly surrounded Ji Yang, each using their own techniques.

In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered and transformed into various spells or abilities.

The cultivators who couldn’t escape in time were also drawn into the chaos.

When Void Refinement stage cultivators struck, even the residual force could injure many.

Faced with their combined attacks, Ji Yang smiled and loudly declared, “Come on!”

He originally intended to interact with them as an ordinary person, but since he had been discovered, he would no longer pretend.

It’s time to show his true strength!

With plenty of experience battling many cultivators at the Unity with the Dao stage, Ji Yang handled their assault effortlessly. Most importantly, the attackers were not late Void Refinement stage cultivators; the leader was merely in the Mid Void Refinement stage.

Though they were many, in a cultivator’s duel, numbers are often not enough to intimidate.

As for the other Heaven Demon Sect cultivators below, they couldn’t even intervene.

Ji Yang showcased his might, thoroughly astounding the onlookers below.

This was no mere situation of several high-level cultivators encircling a Golden Core stage cultivator; the scene was clearly that everyone was struggling against Ji Yang’s attacks.

The sword energy Ji Yang casually unleashed was enough to force a full defense from one of the Heaven Demon Sect cultivators.

Even though the Demon Sect outnumbered him, under Ji Yang’s frequent sword energy strikes, they could only passively defend.

Fan Chang, who had originally planned to accompany Ji Yang and offer him opportunities, stood dumbfounded.

“Junior Brother Wang He, are you mistaken about who you’re fighting?”

In the midst of combat, one Heaven Demon Sect cultivator blocked a sword energy strike and couldn’t help but glance back at the astonished Wang He, asking the question.

Wang He was stunned after hearing this. Ji Yang’s familiar face appeared before him, and that sword energy was the unique Thousands of Sword Energies of Peak Master Ye!

Could it be that the person before him was not Ji Yang? Instead, it was his Master, Ye Wuchen?

But if it really was Ye Wuchen, how could the others still be speaking?

He wanted to believe he was mistaken, but he wasn’t blind!

How could this guy be so powerful?

Seeing that several senior brothers showed signs of defeat, Wang He lost his composure!

It had only been two years since Ji Yang joined the sect; how could he have grown so rapidly? Was Talent Jealousy truly that frightening?

If this continued for another two years, would there be anyone in the Cultivation World who could rival him?

Wang He couldn’t help but think, feeling deeply troubled by Ji Yang’s terrifying strength and talent.

At this moment, the few of them were gradually falling into a disadvantage under Ji Yang’s sweeping sword energy.

As the battle continued, Ji Yang seemed to grow ever more perfect, launching his sword energy attacks with such precision that the others couldn’t find a single flaw.

“What are we going to do?” one person couldn’t help but murmur.

Upon hearing this, the others’ expressions tightened.

To speak of defeat before victory was a great taboo in a cultivator’s duel; though they still had some tricks up their sleeves, they currently lacked any fighting spirit.

Recognizing this, their minds faltered, and in their exchanged glances, there was a hint of panic.

This unseen, creeping presence that eroded their resolve seemed to be the very essence of the Way they had been seeking.

This realization completely drained their motivation to continue fighting.

Meanwhile, Wang He, gradually regaining his composure, wanted to rise and lend a hand to his senior brothers.

From his perspective, although they were at a disadvantage, they hadn’t used their full strength, and with him there, they might not be without a chance.

But just as Wang He leaped forward to join the attack, he saw his senior brothers scatter in unison.

This left Wang He astonished, and he hurriedly called out, “Senior brothers, where are you going?”

“Junior brother, I suddenly remembered something! I must leave first.”

“My spiritual beast is about to give birth!”

…

Listening to the absurd excuses around him, Wang He looked shocked. Before he could inquire further, Ji Yang’s sword energy was already upon him, and he could only hurriedly defend himself.

When he looked back again, the senior brothers had vanished without a trace; surveying his surroundings, he found he was the only one left.

“Senior brothers?”

Wang He called out with a shred of last hope, but there was no response.

At that moment, Wang He felt utterly defeated.

If they couldn’t handle Ji Yang together, how could he alone contend with him? Not to mention his primordial spirit was injured, and his condition wasn’t good.

Looking back, Ji Yang approached again with sharp sword energy.

As the sword energy neared him, Wang He’s eyes widened, and his entire being surged with momentum. Despite the fact that everyone else had fled, he, Wang He, would never easily give up!

But after several sword energies passed, the excitement on Wang He’s face gradually faded. When the next sword energy approached, he bent his legs and dropped to the ground with a “thud.”

“Senior Brother Ji, you are magnanimous. For the sake of our shared sect, please spare this junior brother!”

Ji Yang paused his movements upon seeing this.

Having just fought, he was once again immersed in the state of the essence of the Way, but now he had returned. It was likely that after this battle, his essence condensation would improve slightly.

Looking at Wang He, who knelt before him, Ji Yang’s eyes shifted. Before he could respond, he saw Wang He spring into action, a powerful force erupting from his body.

Begging for mercy was false; the sneak attack was real.

Ji Yang snorted coldly and suddenly threw a punch.

With this punch, everything vanished into nothingness.

Wang He, who had planned to launch a sneak attack, disintegrated under this punch, reduced to nothing.

At this moment, Ji Yang’s overwhelming strength surpassed even that of his sword energy.

The distant cultivators who witnessed this scene were shocked; if that punch landed on them, would they withstand it?
