Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Defeating You with Half a Move is Enough

However, as soon as the young man had spoken, Yang Xiaotian threw a punch directly.

It struck the opponent’s belly from afar.

Thud!

The young man was sent flying backward, crashing into the distant forest, rolling away for who knows how far.

After a moment of stunned shock, the four Saint Realm powerhouses were all fuming with rage.

“Seeking death!”

The four attacked in unison, launching their strikes toward Yang Xiaotian, the Azure Thunder Python, and the Iceflame Qilin.

The Iceflame Qilin, however, hardly even looked at them, simply waving a hand, and a sweep of icy blue chill, like a surging sea, sent the four flying away in unison.

The four were blasted away until they nearly vanished from sight, crashing at the edge of the trio’s field of vision.

Seeing this, the young man’s face drastically changed. He got to his feet feeling a severe tugging in his belly. He stared at Yang Xiaotian in anger and shock, but he didn’t dare to say anything more and fled in panic.

“They must be from the Buddha Family,” commented the Iceflame Qilin.

From the way those four had attacked, it discerned that they were people from the Buddha Family of the Buddha Source Empire.

The Buddha Family had deep roots and intricate power structures in Buddha Source, their influence nearly covering the entire region.

While the Long Family of Zhongzhou was strong, they were still somewhat inferior to the Buddha Family.

Moreover, the Buddha Family had a murky relationship with the Peacock Clan.

Yang Xiaotian was also aware of the Buddha Family, but he didn’t take it to heart.

The following day, at the crack of dawn,

Yang Xiaotian left the Soul Beast Forest with the Azure Thunder Python and the Iceflame Qilin.

Now that he knew of the existence of a million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Roc in the Soul Sea, there was no need for him to continue his arduous search in the Soul Beast Forest.

Moreover, the day of his decisive battle with Wei Zongyuan was drawing near.

Yang Xiaotian rode the Azure Thunder Python, rushing back to the Celestial Burial Academy at full speed.

Finally, on the day before the decisive battle, he arrived back at the Celestial Burial Academy.

Due to his upcoming duel with Wei Zongyuan, powerhouses from various directions flocked to the Celestial Burial Academy.

The Celestial Burial Academy was packed to the brim.

As soon as Yang Xiaotian returned to the Celestial Burial Academy, he heard the news spreading everywhere about Wei Zongyuan consolidating his Soul Ring.

“Wei Zongyuan’s Soul Ring has a cultivation of ninety-nine thousand years!”

“And the Soul Beast he hunted has the top-tier Divine Beast bloodline — the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King!”

When it became known that Wei Zongyuan had hunted a Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King with a top-tier Divine Beast bloodline, and that it was ninety-nine thousand years old, the hundreds of thousands of students of the Celestial Burial Academy were shaken to their core.

In the Azure God Continent, no one was capable of cultivating a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Therefore, ninety-nine thousand years was already the upper limit.

What’s more, the Soul Beast that Wei Zongyuan hunted had an extremely potent bloodline — the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King.

This was even more extraordinary.

The Super Divine Beasts were nearly impossible to find.

A Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King with a top-tier Divine Beast bloodline was second only to the Super Divine Beast.

“Wei Zongyuan’s Soul Ring, although only ninety-nine thousand years, might not be weaker than the legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!” exclaimed a Clan Elder in amazement.

A Soul Beast with a powerful bloodline, upon being hunted, provided an equally powerful Soul Ring.

Even with Soul Rings of the same age, their strength could differ.

Wei Zongyuan’s ninety-nine-thousand-year Soul Ring, obtained by hunting the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King, in terms of power, might truly not be inferior to the legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Upon learning that Wei Zongyuan’s Soul Ring came from a 99,000-year-old Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King, Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged.

Knowing that Yang Xiaotian had returned, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, Long Batian, and a few others hurried to find him.

When he saw the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s cave dwelling in Buddha Source.

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor quickly replied, “To report to the young master, I have already found some clues about the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s cave dwelling in Buddha Source back then.”

“Oh!” Yang Xiaotian brightened up and asked, “Where in Buddha Source?”

“In the Redemption Land of Buddha Source,” said the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor respectfully.

Redemption Land?

Yang Xiaotian was quite surprised.

The Redemption Land was a very special place in Buddha Source. Generally, it was where people judged guilty by the various major temples of Buddha Source were expelled, left to survive on their own.

It was said that the Redemption Land sealed an evil demon of supreme wickedness, and due to the pollution of its malevolent aura, the land had no vitality; it was a pitiless wilderness with an extreme lack of spiritual energy, wholly unsuitable for martial practitioners to reside.

“Are you sure it’s in the Redemption Land?” asked Yang Xiaotian, still finding it odd that the Thousand Buddha Medicine God would build his cave dwelling in such a desolate place.

“It is in the Redemption Land,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor confirmed, “but I haven’t found the exact location yet. I’ve sent people to keep searching.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded, then took out a Saint-level Elixir and gave it to the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, “When you find the exact location, I’ll give you another one.”

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was overjoyed, bowing down profoundly in thanks.

He was now a Demigod, and what he lacked the most were Saint-level Elixirs.

Long Batian, Li Yutian, and the others looked on with envy at the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.

Yang Xiaotian led the group towards Mu Yunchun’s Peach Blossom Peak.

He wanted to ask Mu Yunchun about the True God Flying Ship.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was set to fight in a decisive battle tomorrow, yet still had the mind to seek out Mu Yunchun, Long Batian and the other three couldn’t help but worry.

At present, almost no one in the entire academy was optimistic about Yang Xiaotian.

Not to mention the Celestial Burial Academy, even the powerhouses who had come to watch the battle from various factions did not favor Yang Xiaotian.

The four of them were also concerned about Yang Xiaotian’s decisive battle tomorrow.

They knew Yang Xiaotian’s combat strength was extremely formidable, but upon learning that Wei Zongyuan had hunted down the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon King and condensed a 99,000-year Soul Ring, their confidence couldn’t help but waver.

As Yang Xiaotian was heading to Peach Blossom Peak, he happened upon Wei Zongyuan on the way.

Wei Zongyuan, surrounded by masters from various sects, wore deep blue brocade robes. He was impressive and highly conspicuous.

Wei Zongyuan also saw Yang Xiaotian from a distance, and with a cold smile, he walked towards him, “Yang Xiaotian, I thought you were too scared to come back.”

The day of the decisive battle was tomorrow, and Yang Xiaotian’s absence had persisted, causing many in the academy to speculate that Yang Xiaotian, having heard of Wei Zongyuan’s 99,000-year Soul Ring, was too frightened to return.

“Scared? Why would I be scared to come back?” Yang Xiaotian said with a smile, “To defeat you would only take half a move.”

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian’s words, everyone’s expressions turned bizarre in an instant.

Almost no one in the whole academy was betting on Yang Xiaotian, yet what did he just say? To defeat Wei Zongyuan, he only needed half a move?

Wei Zongyuan’s face turned bluish with anger, as he stared at Yang Xiaotian and laughed furiously, “Defeat me in half a move?”

In other words, he wouldn’t be able to withstand even one move from Yang Xiaotian?

All the subordinates behind Wei Zongyuan were infuriated, glaring at Yang Xiaotian with unrestrained anger.

“Fine, Yang Xiaotian, then I’ll be waiting, to see how you plan to defeat me tomorrow!” said Wei Zongyuan in a cold voice, then led his entourage away.

Long Batian, Li Yutian, and a few others watched Wei Zongyuan’s departing figure, smiling wryly to themselves.

They too had not expected that their young master would say he’d defeat Wei Zongyuan in half a move.

After leaving, Chen Sha behind Wei Zongyuan couldn’t help but speak angrily, “This Yang Xiaotian, damn it, does he think he has a hundred thousand year Soul Ring?”

Wei Zongyuan’s voice was chilling, “Tomorrow, I will torture him until he dies, even if he kneels and begs for mercy, it will be useless!”
