A Martial God’s Bloodline - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Killing Li Yue
Boom!

Vital force burst forth from Li Yue’s body and he suddenly broke through the limits of Martial Spirit Level Seven!

“What! Li Yue had a breakthrough! His vital force is actually Level Eight!”

Li Yue’s sudden explosive breakthrough surprised countless people. In the previous battle with Li Xuan, everyone obviously noticed that he retained his strength and preferred to hide it through defeat. He was just waiting for the moment to come!

“Li Ye! Are you surprised?”

Li Ye nodded in response to Li Yue’s smirk. “Yes, I’m shocked. How stupid of you to use external forces just so you can have a breakthrough at this moment! I thought you were just proud and arrogant. I can now add stupid to the list, but your stupidity is just so overwhelming that nothing can save you from it! ”

Although everyone was shocked that Li Yue broke through to Level Eight so abruptly, Li Ye was the only one who noticed the tremendous fluctuation in Li Yue’s vital force. He could vaguely sense his opponent’s formidableness, but the instability made Li Yue seem impetuous.

There was only one explanation for that result—Li Yue’s breakthrough was created by external forces, not by himself.

“Is it some alchemical medicine or did someone force him through his bottleneck?”

Whether it was done through external forces or not, the fact remained that Li Yue broke through the boundaries of Level Seven and entered Level Eight. He had turned into an Eminent Master!

It was common knowledge that he was only seventeen years old. An Eminent Master at that age was a rarity in the entire Wu Prefecture City!

“Remember the amount of humiliation you inflicted on me last time? I’ll double it for you today!”

As one of the Pride of Heavens within the clan, Li Yue answered to no one except Li Mo. Even when he was still at Level Seven, he defeated Li Huo and the others to occupy fourth-place among the inner disciples!

However, a piece of trash he had always looked down on inflicted injury on him during the battle at Pure Moon Tower. His pride was greatly damaged. During that period, he spent his days thinking about revenge! The Prodigy Summit was the best opportunity to exact his vengeance!

“Rest assured, I won’t kill you, Li Ye. But I will break all your limbs, your internal organs, and turn you into a piece of trash one more! Oh no, you won’t even be able to drink or eat by yourself, let alone cultivate. HAHAHAHAHA! ”

Li Yue’s expression was fiercely spiteful, as if he could already see the image that he was describing.

The resentment between the two had actually existed since the very beginning.

However, Li Yue was the one who used to humiliate Li Ye to begin with. Now that there was a sharp contrast in their positions, Li Yue was simply unwilling to acknowledge it.

“Hidden Black Palm!”

A frightening malicious force hit him in the face like a chilly wind. There were even traces of rot and corrosiveness within its frightening strength. Those were the characteristics of the renowned Hidden Black Palm, one of the Li clan’s Yellow Rank Advanced techniques.

“The Hidden Black Palm, I didn’t expect Li Yue to cultivate it to such an extent. He’s probably reached the mastery stage!”

Many Grandmasters might even struggle to cultivate a Yellow Rank Advanced battle technique to the mastery stage!

“Although Li Yue seems to have just broken through the Level Eight, he’s still more or less capable of battling with a Level Nine Grandmaster!”

Many spectators then felt a chilly sensation coming over them.

“Ice Crystal Fist!”

Thump! Li Ye was pushed back more than ten steps. He felt a warmness in his throat and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

“His palm is incredibly strong!”

Not only that, Li Ye realized that a malicious power had invaded his body through the contact with his palm earlier. It began spreading along his arm and toward his body, constantly corroding his meridians.

That was the most terrifying aspect of the Hidden Black Palm. It could imprint a trace of corrosive power into the opponent’s body, corroding their flesh and meridians incessantly.

“Ice Seal!”

Li Ye immediately sealed the corrosive force with cold air but soon found out that it did not work at all.

“It’s useless! You are doomed to die by my Hidden Black Palm!”

Li Ye’s actions made Li Yue smirk maliciously. When he attempted his next attack, Li Ye dodged them but subsequently fell into a disadvantageous position.

With the sinister corrosive force spreading into his body, Li Ye had no choice but to temporarily avoid the danger zone. He paced himself to the Footstep Mirage and increased the distance between himself and Li Yue.

“This corrosive force must be removed from the body or the consequences will be disastrous!”

He was just beginning to fret over it when the power was absorbed by his body. It startled him for a moment and he thought that something had happened.

Following the absorption however, there was no discomfort at all. The evil force seemed to have been dispelled completely.

“What happened?”

Shaking his head, Li Ye set aside those thoughts for the time being. Li Yue had already pushed him to the edge of the arena, and defeat would soon befall him if he was forced out of the ring.

“Li Ye! Are you just going to cower around? You really are a piece of trash. You’ll always be a coward and a weakling! Hahaha! I really don’t understand why such a beautiful woman is willing to take care of a piece of garbage like you.”

Li Ye’s expression changed as soon as he heard those words. He asked in a low and angry voice, “What do you mean!”

“What do I mean? Well, I never knew this before, but you have a delicious little woman by your side named Aunt Yun or something like that? She’s slightly mature, but she looks so flavorful compared to those little girls! Hehehe. I can’t believe you never made a move on her all these years. Really makes me wonder if you are even a man. But it doesn’t matter. After I have cripple you, I’ll have that woman in my pocket. I’ll play with her as I see fit, and I’ll be sure to let you see other men pressing down on her body. It will be really exciting! When I get tired, I’ll just sell her to Spring Wind Tower. With her appearance, she won’t have any problem becoming their most sought-after woman!”

“Li Yue! You b*stard!”

“Hahaha! You never thought about that, did you, Li Ye? I can just snap my fingers, and someone will have her sent to me. I don’t even need to expend any effort!”

Li Ye’s heart sank to the very bottom.

Aunt Yun! He never expected Li Yue to dangle her head over him. At that moment, he felt even angrier and regretful, with all kinds of uneasy emotions surfacing then.

It must be said that he was presently under a great influence of his previous soul. It had been integrated subconsciously into his current identity.

“Li Yue! If you dare to touch a single hair on Aunt Yun’s head, I will kill you!”

Li Yue scoffed at Li Ye’s threat. “Don’t worry, if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you play with her once, after I’m done toying her! Hahaha!”

“Li Yue! You’re going to die!”

A horrifying killing intent erupted from Li Ye. He had never wanted to kill anyone as badly as he did then!

Li Ye no longer kept his cool. His own technique, the Stormcloud Palm, was executed immediately, causing a dramatic change of expression on Li Yue’s face.

During Li Ye’s earlier battle with Li Datou, Li Yue had seen it clearly as well. He knew that it would spell trouble if the attack struck him, despite having already entered the level of Eminent Master. He thus made a speedy retreat.

“Li Yue!”

When the thought of retreating occurred to him, a voice rushed directly into his mind, sending his mental state into a daze and slowing down his action by a half-beat.

Thump!

The formidable strength of Li Ye’s palm was directly printed on Li Yue’s chest. At the same time, a dark force tunneled straight into Li Yue’s chest.

Poof!

Li Yue seemed to have had the upper hand, but it hardly occurred to everyone that Li Yue would lose so resoundingly in an instant.

“Yue’er!”

A loud yell was heard, and at the same time a menacing vital force began applying pressure from the stands. Unfortunately, Li Ye did not wait for anyone to react. He took a step forward and once against planted his palm on Li Yue’s chest!

Li Yue, who was already pale after receiving the earlier surge of vital force from Li Ye’s palm, paled even more.

“Little b*stard! How dare you!”

The ominous scream was followed by an equally fearsome vital force. It was Li Yue’s grandfather, the Li clan’s Head Elder, who jumped down from the platform and used his palm to hack Li Ye!

The scene left some people scratching their heads. The conversation between Li Yue and Li Ye was concluded quickly. Both voices were so low that no one at the scene heard what they were talking about.

Feeling the formidable vital force looking over his head, hints of viciousness appeared in Li Ye’s face. Li Yue was already worn out and vomiting blood, but Li Ye once again slammed his fist against Li Yue’s chest.

“NO!”

The loud roar was accompanied by a strong palm striking Li Ye’s back. Li Ye felt that the bones in his body were about to crack, but he still gritted his teeth, grabbed Li Yue by the neck, and threw Li Yue’s body behind him.

While doing so, he dashed over to the edge of the arena.

“Escape!”

Li Ye knew he had to leave the place! It was impossible for Li Yue to survive three consecutive and entirely unreserved attacks! His killing intent was going at full force that time! No one could stop him!

The consequences of his actions were also very obvious. He would no longer have any place in the Li clan after killing Li Yue!

Li Yue was the second son of the Li clan’s acting patriarch! He was the grandson of the influential and powerful Head Elder!

The entire Li clan would become his enemy after he killed Li Yue.

He made a mad dash to the outside of the arena without the slightest hesitation.

“You b*stard! Stay where you are!”

A figure stopped directly in front of him. It was the Li clan’s Head Elder.

All of a sudden, Li Ye transformed into four doppelgangers.

The next moment however, four air currents from the Head Elder’s palms immediately dispelled the four avatars! In spite of that, Li Ye’s actual body was nowhere to be seen!

The rest of the crowd were also beginning to react, but the Wu and Yuwen clan were snickering. They not only refrained from interfering with the Li clan’s internal squabble; they even found it entertaining to see insult being added to injury.

“Little b*stard! You killed one of your own. I’ll kill you with my own hands!”

The death of his grandson before his very eyes made Head Elder Li lost all sense of reason. A sinister vital force then burst forth from the old man’s body!

“Peak Level Nine! No, wait! He’s reached the Semi-Sovereign Level!”
