Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 497 - 483: The Loud Slap

In the Yellow Hall, all disciples looked at Xiao Ye, who suddenly appeared, their expressions becoming extremely strange.

It seemed that Xiao Ye had gone to the Yellow Dragon Island Space for cultivation and had just come out now, not leaving the Holy Palace at all. Thinking of this, all disciples simultaneously turned their gaze toward the Great Elder.

The only one who could grant Xiao Ye such privilege was the Great Elder.

Among the crowd, Fang Hao’s eyes emitted flames of jealousy. Why should a new disciple, just at the Void Martial Realm, not only have a Ferocious Beast that even Main Hall Disciples coveted, but also receive special treatment from all the elders?

"What cultivation level?" Hearing the inquiry from the Great Elder, Xiao Ye revealed a slight smile on his face and did not answer, but instead responded with silence.

In fact, even he was a bit confused. After four months of hard cultivation, whether he had ascended to the King Martial level or not was unclear because some wonderful changes had occurred in his body which he couldn’t fully explain.

"You cheeky boy, still playing coy with me!" The Great Elder couldn’t help but smile wryly at Xiao Ye, then waved his hand, "Forget it, hurry up and catch up with us, the joint assessment is about to start!"

Xiao Ye nodded, then followed behind the Great Elder, stepping into the air together.

Seeing Xiao Ye walk into the mid-air among the group of disciples participating in the assessment, all disciples from the Yellow Hall were stunned, their faces full of incredulity.

Could it be that Xiao Ye... was also going to participate in the assessment?

Xiao Ye had only joined the Yellow Hall for less than a year and truly did not qualify to participate in the assessment!

At this moment, a neither warm nor severe voice came: "Junior Brother Xiao, it seems you’re in the wrong team, the place you should go is below."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Fang Hao in the crowd with a face full of mockery, pointing his finger downward towards those disciples who were merely spectators, the implication being very clear.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ye’s eyebrows twitched, cold light flowing deep within his eyes.

This Fang Hao really lingered like a persistent ghost. He was always thinking of ways to oppose him. When the two Great Demons from the Main Hall came looking for him last time, Fang Hao even deliberately made a loud noise, attracting their attention. He still hadn’t taken his revenge for that.

"Fang Hao..." The Great Elder frowned slightly, a look of displeasure on his face, about to speak but Xiao Ye stopped him.

Xiao Ye stepped out from the crowd, walked up to Fang Hao and stopped, and faintly said: "I want to participate in the joint assessment, you’re neither a Law Enforcement Elder nor the Palace Master, what qualifications do you have to nag and fuss? Do you, a mere King Martial disciple, also want to overstep your authority?"

Xiao Ye’s gaze made Fang Hao’s heart shiver, as if targeted by a ferocious beast. Xiao Ye’s words made him flush red, unable to find words to retort, almost suffering an internal injury.

Because what Xiao Ye said was correct, none of the ten Law Enforcement Elders of the Yellow Hall had spoken up, yet he, just a disciple, had rebuked audaciously, indeed overstepping his bounds.

"Xiao Ye, don’t confuse everyone with your eloquence. All disciples here know that there are requirements to participate in the joint assessment of the Four Main Halls of the Holy Palace, and based on your cultivation level, you don’t meet the criteria!" Fang Hao shouted angrily.

"Oh? Is that so!" Xiao Ye sneered, his smile radiant, raising a chill in Fang Hao’s heart.

Boom boom boom!

The next moment, Xiao Ye stood in mid-air, and shockingly made a move against Fang Hao. Xiao Ye slowly raised his hand, and terrifying power surged around like a tidal wave. A giant Destruction Hand, which blotted out the sky and crushed the heavens, rolled towards Fang Hao.

The expressions of the ten Law Enforcement Elders were peculiar, but they did not stop Xiao Ye and Fang Hao from clashing. In fact, they too were curious to see, after four months of cultivation, what level Xiao Ye’s cultivation or strength had reached.

Seeing this, Fang Hao was secretly overjoyed: "Xiao Ye, you actually dare to strike at me actively, even if I severely injure you now, the Law Enforcement Elders have nothing to say!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Immediately after, Fang Hao let out a long howl, behind him rose a vast King Realm, radiating tremendous suppression, like a sun bursting forth boundless radiance, and then his body burst forward, swinging his fists colliding with Xiao Ye’s Destruction Hand.

At this moment, Fang Hao was clearly going all out, aiming to severely wound Xiao Ye for revenge!

Bang!

The sound of destruction thundered, and in front of all gazing eyes, Fang Hao’s fists directly shattered the Destruction Hand, while simultaneously, Fang Hao’s feet also stepped back in the void, barely stopping after taking a step back.

Hiss!

All disciples widened their eyes and gasped, this direct clash of power, Fang Hao appeared to be slightly weaker!

Moreover, the fluctuating aura emitted by Xiao Ye was very unstable, making it impossible for them to see what realm he had reached.

"Hehe, being able to catch my palm does show some skill, truly deserving of being an outstanding disciple of the Yellow Hall. But do you know whether you can catch my next attack?" There was a hint of ridicule on Xiao Ye’s face.

"You!" Fang Hao heard Xiao Ye’s words and immediately became gloomy, although he was indeed at a disadvantage in the clash, hearing Xiao Ye’s mocking words still made him very angry.

But then, his expression turned into one of shock.

Only to see Xiao Ye’s hand sweeping across the void, behind him rose a blazing light, like a proud sun radiating in all directions, also like a boundless and vast universe.

Instantly——

Boom!

Five massive Destructive Hands stretched across the void, like five mountains, compressing down towards Fang Hao.

This scene terrified Fang Hao to the core, not daring to think further, he quickly unleashed all his strength, trying to withstand Xiao Ye’s attack.

At this moment, Fang Hao only felt a terrifying suppression approaching, making his body feel as if it was about to split apart. After barely shattering two Destructive Hands, Fang Hao tasted blood in his throat, spewing a blood arrow from his mouth as his severely injured body flew backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Heh, I thought with your arrogance, you had the strength to back it up. Turns out you can’t even take a single hit," Xiao Ye waved his hand and instantly the remaining three Destructive Hands dissipated in mid-air, standing proudly like a divine being above the heavens.

Silence!

The scene fell into a deadly silence; many disciples could even hear their own heartbeats.

Xiao Ye’s attack just now was truly terrifying, even from a distance it brought them an immense sense of oppression, making their bodies feel like they were in an ice cellar, chilling to the core.

The ten Law Enforcement Elders also simultaneously changed their expressions, exchanging looks that reflected the shock in each others’ eyes.

Even they could not discern at what cultivation level Xiao Ye had acted from; Xiao Ye was like a cloud of mist, eluding their understanding.

"How... how is this possible! How could his strength have become so powerful?" Fang Hao lay on the ground, his face full of disbelief, his mind in a haze.

In the Yellow Dragon Island Space four months ago, Xiao Ye’s cultivation was indeed strong, but it took a surprise attack with the Death Slash to severely injure him. Yet now, four months later, Xiao Ye could suppress him so easily in a straightforward manner.

Such talent was simply astonishing!

Could it be that Xiao Ye has already ascended to the King Martial Realm?

Xiao Ye walked on air, looking down on Fang Hao as he struggled to rise from the ground, and coldly smiled, "Fang Hao, you said my cultivation wasn’t qualified to participate in the joint examination; well, being easily defeated by me means you are even less qualified."

"You might as well stay put in the Yellow Hall, don’t bother with the joint examination and spare yourself the embarrassment."

Hearing Xiao Ye’s words, the heavily injured Fang Hao’s blood surged, nearly spewing another mouthful of fresh blood. He had just mocked Xiao Ye for lacking strength, not expecting to be disproven so swiftly in such an irrefutable manner.

"Xiao Ye, even if you can defeat me, what of it? You, by the length of your entry into the sect, originally aren’t eligible for the joint examination. Pity, despite your extraordinary strength, you can only obediently be a spectator. Ha ha!" Fang Hao took out an Elixir from his Space Ring, consumed it to stabilize his injuries, and loudly mocked Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye shook his head upon hearing this, his face filled with speechlessness.

Fang Hao, unable to surpass him in strength, resorted to mocking his insufficient entry time. Ridiculous.

Just then, the Great Elder appeared, his authoritative voice resonating, "Elder Tian Jiu from the Earth Hall has granted Xiao Ye the qualification to participate in the joint examination. So even though Xiao Ye’s entry time isn’t enough, he can still stand with us on the most dazzling stage of the Holy Palace this year!"

Multi-directional shock followed these words, particularly, the scorn on Fang Hao’s face instantly solidified, his face full of disbelief.

An Elder of the Emperor Martial Realm placing such importance on a disciple of the Yellow Hall and even granting the examination qualification was an honor not even the Yellow Hall’s top genius, Qiu Ze, received back in his time.

"Great Elder, let’s depart. There’s no need to delay over trivial matters for the examination," Xiao Ye glanced lightly at Fang Hao and spoke.

Since the opponent was already heavily injured by him, which would inevitably affect him in the joint examination, revenge was considered served. Continuing the dispute would only lower his own status and violate the palace rules. That wasn’t worthwhile.

"Alright, let us expedite our departure!" The Great Elder nodded and then his figure burst towards the distance.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

...

"I didn’t expect Xiao Ye’s strength to be so powerful; I really shouldn’t have engaged him!"

The many disciples of Yellow Hall didn’t dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed, leaving only Fang Hao standing there alone, his expression dark and uncertain, his insides filled with regret.

"I didn’t expect Xiao Ye’s strength to be so powerful; I really shouldn’t have engaged him!"

Having been severely injured before the joint examination, any slight movement brought intense pain, which would inevitably affect his performance.

Did he really have to remain in Yellow Hall?

"No, I have trained so hard for this day, I must not give up!" Fang Hao gritted his teeth, endured his injuries, soared into the air, and followed the Yellow Hall’s team.
