The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily across the entire arena.

Standing on the Battle Platform, Jing Yan’s white robe fluttered in the wind. His gaze swept over the Eldest Young Master and others, and upon seeing Jing Yan’s gaze, an unsettling feeling washed over them.

"Damn!" the Eldest Young Master abruptly stood up, his face twisted with fury.

How dare a mere guest provoke the sons of lords like them, especially someone from under Old Seven, that bastard’s subservient, a mere Law Realm guest.

The Second Young Master and others also reacted, each showing an angry expression as their sinister eyes locked onto Jing Yan.

This Jing Yan must die!

"Eldest Young Master, should I fight in this duel?" A small-statured cultivator beside the Eldest Young Master rose and said respectfully.

This small-statured cultivator, with a Cultivation only at the Law Realm level, had followed the Eldest Young Master for an extremely long period. During this time, he had never advanced to the All Things Realm, but his strength within the Law Realm was top-tier. Against ordinary practitioners of the All Things Realm, he still had the ability to protect himself.

He had also heard of Jing Yan, aware that Jing Yan was at the Law Realm level. Had he known Jing Yan was already in the All Things Realm, he certainly wouldn’t have volunteered. Due to prior information stating Jing Yan was at the Law Realm, he now seized the chance to showcase himself.

In the Ying Family’s grand assemblies, opportunities for Law Realm guests to display themselves were rare. After all, each Young Master and Lady had All Things Realm cultivators by their side. Even for guests sparring, mostly practitioners of the All Things Realm were chosen to fight. Though Law Realm guests did get to fight, it was comparatively rare.

Moreover, the guests surrounding the Young Masters were few from the All Things Realm but many from the Law Realm, preventing every individual from getting a chance to participate even in Law Realm sparring.

This small man seized the opportunity, volunteering before others could speak up. Furthermore, he had confidence in his own strength.

"Alright, go! Once you’re up there, kill him for me," said the Eldest Young Master, nodding towards the small-statured man.

"Swoosh!" The small man gave a sinister smile, and his figure leaped forward, landing on the Battle Platform, facing Jing Yan.

"Chi Gui is going to battle Fellow Daoist Jing Yan!" Huo Tong watched the Battle Platform.

"Things don’t seem favorable; Chi Gui has been beside the Eldest Young Master for ages. Although he hasn’t ascended to the All Things Realm, his strength is formidable. Within the Law Realm, he is virtually invincible. In the entire Ying Family Territory, finding a Law Realm opponent would be difficult," said Cao Yi as he regained Divine Power, shaking his head while watching the Battle Platform.

"Jing Yan hasn’t been with our Seventh Young Master for long, so we don’t know his actual combat power. Hopefully, he can survive Chi Gui’s attack. Chi Gui definitely has the intent to kill Jing Yan," commented another guest under the Seventh Young Master’s command.

Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo maintained a stern expression.

Earlier, he wanted Jing Yan to return quickly, but Jing Yan didn’t heed him. Now, with Chi Gui from the Eldest Young Master’s side on the platform, Jing Yan couldn’t leave it. Ying Zuo silently prayed for Jing Yan’s survival.

Ying Zuo was somewhat confident in Jing Yan’s strength. When he witnessed Jing Yan slay a Law Realm Ghost Pattern Beast in the wilderness, Jing Yan didn’t use any Magic Treasure nor Spell. Meaning, Jing Yan’s true combat power might be stronger than thought.

Now, Ying Zuo hoped that Jing Yan would survive, never considering Jing Yan defeating Chi Gui. Even ordinary practitioners of the All Things Realm found killing Chi Gui challenging.

"Chi Gui is finished," Mr. Dong, beside the Sixth Lady, whispered.

"Mr. Dong, is this Jing Yan really that formidable?" Sixth Lady still found it hard to believe Jing Yan possessed such fearsome power.

"Could he be in the All Things Realm?" Sixth Lady’s beautiful eyes regarded Jing Yan.

"Sixth Lady, I couldn’t probe this person’s realm. However, he is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, even I wouldn’t engage him unnecessarily. Chi Gui, merely a Law Realm cultivator, has less than a one in ten chance of surviving Jing Yan," Mr. Dong said softly.

He intended to imply that if they clashed, unless Jing Yan showed mercy, Chi Gui wouldn’t survive.

Startled by Wen Yan’s words, the Sixth Lady was taken aback.

On the Battle Platform, Jing Yan gazed at Chi Gui, the Eldest Young Master’s guest, unperturbed. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Kid, you sure had a grand time showing off, didn’t you?"

"However, you’ll pay the price for your arrogance," Chi Gui’s cruel voice gradually emanated.

His hand, akin to an eagle’s claw, displayed savage Divine Power undulations.

"You’re not adequate, send someone stronger," Jing Yan shook his head, his tone indifferent.

This remark from Jing Yan was audible to everyone present.

"Damn!"

"Brat’s arrogant!"

"He truly knows no bounds; Chi Gui, deemed top-tier among Law Realm practitioners, yet this kid disregards him. Let’s see how he dies!" sneered the Second Young Master.

"Chi Gui, kill him!" The Eldest Young Master roared.

With the Eldest Young Master’s command like thunder, Chi Gui’s figure suddenly moved. Like an arrow released from a bowstring, he charged towards Jing Yan at an incredible speed, his hand emitting violent Divine Power undulations, converged in space. Only a dark red light erupted, spreading towards Jing Yan.

The intense heat distorted space.

"Bursting Flames!" someone whispered in astonishment.

Bursting Flames, a very powerful Spell, nearing the All Things Realm limits. Its Power, approaching spells from the Nether Sky Realm. Yet, harnessing its utmost power demands much from the cultivator. With a Law Realm Cultivation, perfecting Bursting Flames isn’t truly possible.

Chi Gui had been cultivating Bursting Flames countless ages, but still far from mastering its limit.

The terrifying Power undulations engulfed Jing Yan. Thick killing intent, undisguised.

Jing Yan’s eyes focused, his arm outstretched, lines of light pulsating above his palm.

Chi Gui’s murderous intent left Jing Yan no choice but ruthlessness.

"Seven Luminaries Technique!" Jing Yan quietly muttered.

Those lines of light suddenly magnified, scattering into the sky, like miniature suns exuding dazzling radiance.

"Shhh!" The Bursting Flames clashed with Seven Luminaries Technique, crumbling and disappearing.

"Ah!" A scream echoed from the radiance, abruptly ceasing.

As the brilliance slowly faded, only a single figure remained on the Battle Platform.
