The arrogance and audacity of Young Master Xinyang were witnessed by everyone within the Ancient Dojo. No one expected that Young Master Xinyang of the Xinyang family, not only possessed profound cultivation realm and formidable power but also was arrogant to such an extent. After smashing Xiao Yuan into a pulp with a single palm strike, he provocatively challenged warriors of the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder level. Was he ignorant of the bounds of heaven, or did he truly possess the strength to kill a warrior of Supreme Elder level?

For those from the Tripod Sect, their hatred for Young Master Xinyang ran deep enough to wish to obliterate his spirit and form instantly and to destroy the entire Xinyang family. It’s essential to understand that Xiao Yuan was the most outstanding disciple of the Tripod Sect for hundreds of thousands of years, capable of cultivating the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” to a level of power at such a young age, which was already quite remarkable. It was believed that even if Xiao Yuan couldn’t become the strongest among the younger generation in the three of Ancient Martial World, he could be among the top and certainly be one of the foremost figures. Who knew, after battling Ye Tianchen, Xiao Yuan seemed victorious but was seriously injured, then ambushed by Young Master Xinyang who took advantage of his vulnerability, killing him and obliterating his spirit and form, cutting off the hope of the Tripod Sect, how could there not be resentment?

Bang!

Young Master Xinyang dared to challenge the dignity of the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder, naturally this Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect was eager for it, because within the Ancient Dojo, even if he was furious, he dared not act against Young Master Xinyang due to conferred rules by Battle King Qin Kongdao and the Guardian Dian Wei. The rule was that within the Ancient Dojo, young martial artists may fight fiercely, life and death depended on fate, but the older martial artists absolutely must not intervene. The aim was for the young martial artists to settle their disputes and determine superiority among themselves!

The young martial artists here, all possessing heritage and family, were accompanied by older martial artists for protection against unforeseen events. However, when their young successors went out for a battle, regardless of life or death, they could not interfere, nor would anyone dare to anger the Battle King’s authority and disregard his words!

This Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect possessed not only a Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm but had been situated firmly in this realm for hundreds of years, with sturdy roots and rich combat experience. At the first strike, he managed to overwhelm Young Master Xinyang swiftly, cornering him to a spot where escape was impossible. At this point, both of them met each other’s palms, eyes filled with killing intent staring at one another.

”You little brat, you’re taking yourself too seriously, full of conceit!” The Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, having gained the upper hand, glared sharply and said to Young Master Xinyang.

”Is that so? Old fool, you walked right into it, the Tripod Sect is nothing but a bunch of idiots!” Young Master Xinyang laughed heartily and remarked.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, just as Young Master Xinyang finished speaking, a radius of several hundred meters centered on him, enveloped the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect. Pervading the space, strands of powerful Divine Runes emerged like chains, sealing off the entire space, and that intense killing intent seeped out, advancing step by step towards the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect.

The Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect hesitated, furrowing his brow slightly, not expecting Young Master Xinyang to be so deviously treacherous. During the retreat moments ago, he had laid out a formation of Divine Rune Chains, whose potency was indeed great; it was wrong to underestimate Young Master Xinyang.

Boom!

Young Master Xinyang was sent flying, and without a moment’s hesitation, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect turned, palms striking at the Divine Rune Chains behind, as he had no time to evade. These Divine Rune Chains were like swords aiming for his life, if hit, even if not dead, it would result in severe injury, leaving him defenseless against Young Master Xinyang, who was also at the Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, possibly being defeated.

Bang!

With a muffled noise, as the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect’s palms hit the Divine Rune Chains advancing from behind, he directly broke them apart, smiling faintly as he turned back to look at Young Master Xinyang, saying: ”You little brat, you’re too arrogant, and this is your own doing. Originally, in this Ancient Dojo, we couldn’t act against you, but you went overboard in arrogance, it’s all self-inflicted.”

”Old fool, do you really think you can beat me? There’s a long way to go yet, I’ll slowly bring you to despair!” Young Master Xinyang laughed maliciously and said.

Boom!

Bang!

Boom!

As Young Master Xinyang spoke, he had already thrown several punches outward. Strangely, the punch rays he unleashed this time did not target the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, but were aimed at various other directions, leaving many bewildered!

However, at that moment, apart from War King Qin Kongdao and Dian Wei frowning, both God Beating Bowl and Little Zhu Yan, two cunning individuals proficient in Divine Runes and Formations, also paused in surprise, and began to exchange whispers!

”The Divine Runes set up by this brat are quite bizarre, as if they have some powerful and unfathomable energy!” Little Zhu Yan said with furrowed brows.

”If even your Eyes of Golden Flame can’t detect it, it seems this kid from the Xinyang family is indeed formidable. It looks like the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect might really fall into his trap!” God Beating Bowl couldn’t help but nod.

Sure enough, just as Little Zhu Yan and God Beating Bowl finished speaking, the three fist forces hurled by Young Master Xinyang shattered the void, and three towering Divine Rune Chains suddenly surged from the void, filling a hundred-meter area, all rushing towards the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect.

The Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect was shocked, not anticipating such powerful Divine Rune Chains concealed within the void. It appeared that Young Master Xinyang was a deeply calculating and insightful individual. Perhaps he had already foreseen that if it came to relying solely on strength, easily defeating the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect would be challenging. Only through such a method could success be possible, hence from the start, Young Master Xinyang had activated a certain Divine Rune Formation to lure the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect within. Now he had the confidence to achieve it!

Boom!

The three towering Divine Rune Chains fiercely attacked the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect. Despite his powerful cultivation realm, he hadn’t anticipated the cunning of Young Master Xinyang and this hidden tactic. Immediately he attempted to block, but was shocked and flown back, struck by a towering pillar, blood trickling from his mouth.

”Old thing, this is just the beginning. Enjoy yourself within this Divine Rune Formation!” Young Master Xinyang sneered.

”Little brat, you’re too overconfident and arrogant!” The Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect frowned and, with a wave of his right hand, revealed a small-sized iron hammer. As soon as the Supreme Elder grasped the hammer, a surge of Martial Arts True Power was infused into it, causing the hammer to rapidly expand, suddenly growing to two or three meters with formidable might and domineering presence.

”Old thing, your treasure is useless!” Young Master Xinyang grunted furiously.

”Little brat, I must kill you!”

Rumble!

The Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, now wildly enraged, raised the iron hammer in his hand and smashed it down fiercely, shattering one of the pillar-like Divine Runes. Young Master Xinyang was shocked; he hadn’t expected that his intricately set Divine Rune Formation, designed to be immensely powerful and perpetually cycling, could be destroyed. Even with a Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, it seemed impossible for the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect to break it. Yet now, with the wave of the iron hammer, a towering pillar-like Divine Rune was shattered. At this rate, the Supreme Elder could possibly use the treasure in his hand to break free from the Divine Rune Formation, leading inevitably to an intense battle where Young Master Xinyang wouldn’t have the same advantage!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Upon realizing his iron hammer could shatter the powers of the Divine Rune Chains, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect continuously swung it. He understood the dangers of being trapped in this Divine Rune Formation; he needed to escape to kill Young Master Xinyang.

”What do you think of the current situation? Will Young Master Xinyang win, or will the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect prevail?” Some martial artists whimsically debated nearby.

”Young Master Xinyang is indeed formidable, able to face the supreme elder of the Tripod Sect, showcasing his own strength. Nevertheless, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, with his Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, won’t be easily defeated!”

”In terms of cultivation realm, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect and Young Master Xinyang are on the same level, but the Supreme Elder has been at this realm for centuries, whereas Young Master Xinyang has only recently broken through to it, incomparable in experience.”

”Actually, you forget one thing: the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect has yet to employ the Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill. If unleashed, its power would likely be far greater than what Xiao Yuan could muster!”

For a moment, it seemed most believed in the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect’s victory. Young Master Xinyang is undoubtedly strong and audacious, but he indeed falls short in terms of cultivation longevity—a fact one must acknowledge. Moreover, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect hasn’t yet revealed the Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill, meaning he hasn’t exerted his full strength. Taking these into account, Young Master Xinyang’s chances of success are greatly diminished! (To be continued.
