The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 144 - 143: Slapping to Overturn

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Slapping to Overturn

"Hahaha, everyone from Emperor Immortal Sect is in a panic, it seems this Ye Xuan really is a weakling!"

The students from Lie Tian Academy all burst into laughter.

"Is he really a weakling though..." From within the crowd, Yan Feng slightly narrowed his eyes, intently watching Ye Xuan who was taking the field.

He had personally witnessed Ye Xuan in action, defeating He Xiao from the Daoist Platform Realm with a single move.

Although there was an element of surprise in it, this also proved that Ye Xuan was not as fragile as imagined.

At the very least, even for those in the Daoist Platform Realm, one could not let down their guard against this guy.

On the high platform of Wansheng Mountain Arena.

Hong Yunlie watched everything in the center of the arena and couldn’t help but reveal a strange smile, "Your sect’s chief disciple has entered the battle so early?"

Zhou Zihuang responded calmly, without hurry or pause, "That’s only because your Academy’s disciples pressured him too much."

Hong Yunlie shook his head and said, "Your respectable son-in-law Ye Xuan, made Li Xue’s family fall apart; naturally, she thoroughly hates Ye Xuan."

Hong Yunlie had also investigated the grievance between Ye Xuan and Li Xue.

A month ago, a major event occurred in the Imperial City; although it didn’t start there, it was closely related.

If Li Xue hadn’t taken Yan Feng and He Xiao to cause trouble for Ye Xuan, then Ye Xuan would have returned to the inn, and General Wang Shiqi would not have encountered Ye Xuan, and the subsequent events wouldn’t have occurred.

However, after that event, Cloud Heaven Pavilion had already vanished from within the Imperial City.

The master of Cloud Heaven Pavilion disappeared, and the deputy master Li Yuanzhou, as well as Li Xue’s brother Li Zhan, also quietly left the Imperial City.

Hong Yunlie had always been curious about this matter.

What made Cloud Heaven Pavilion disregard Lie Tian Heavenly Country and stand on Ye Xuan’s side?

Hong Yunlie had specifically inquired about Li Xue’s matter and, after unraveling it layer by layer, discovered that it also involved the Spiritual Boat Association.

After finding out about the Spiritual Boat Association, Hong Yunlie couldn’t pursue it further.

The power of the Spiritual Boat Association was not something Lie Tian Heavenly Country could provoke.

After all, the reach of the Spiritual Boat Association spanned the entire Southern Domain, its terror not inferior to those enormous entities of the Southern Domain.

It was for this reason that Hong Yunlie paid more attention to Ye Xuan.

Today, he would just see what was so special about this guy.

All eyes were focused on Ye Xuan and Li Xue.

This was an over-leveled battle.

By the rules, it should be Li Xue challenging Ye Xuan from a higher level.

However, by actuality, it was Ye Xuan fighting Li Xue from a higher level.

This was a very interesting battle.

The side of Emperor Immortal Sect worried that Ye Xuan might expose his strength too early, which could lead to being targeted later.

Meanwhile, the side of Lie Tian Academy was eager to see Ye Xuan getting thrashed by Li Xue.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Xuan walked onto the arena, directly facing Li Xue.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan take the stage, deep hatred surfaced in Li Xue’s eyes, "Today, I will kill you."

This voice was very soft, audible only to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled slightly and spoke slowly, "Have you not considered how utterly brainless you are?"

From the beginning, Li Xue had been the one to seek trouble, and her series of actions afterward simply left Ye Xuan speechless.

It could be said to be utterly brainless to the extreme!

Ye Xuan even doubted that Li Xue was of Li Yuanzhou’s bloodline.

Li Zhan, also a child of Li Yuanzhou, whether in action or talent, was extremely remarkable.

But Li Xue? Her actions were like those of a little girl, and that wasn’t even the worst part; seeking revenge by stepping into the Inscriptions Realm, she even consumed a Forbidden Pill that drained her potential...

From the moment he first saw Li Xue, Ye Xuan had seen it.

Li Xue, in order to step into the Inscriptions Realm, had swallowed a Forbidden Pill that consumed her potential, letting her quickly enter the Inscriptions Realm.

This Forbidden Pill had significant side effects after being consumed.

From now on, Li Xue could forget about touching the realm of Princes; she could only stay forever in the Inscriptions Realm.

It was truly pitiful to say.

"Me, brainless?" Li Xue heard Ye Xuan’s words and let out a bitter laugh, saying, "If not for you, how could my brother and father have left?"

Ye Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, somewhat at a loss for words.

How had it turned out as if he had slain Li Xue’s father and brother?

Weren’t they perfectly fine?

"Forget it, for your brother’s and father’s sake, I can’t be bothered to fight with you, just admit defeat." Ye Xuan shook his head and said.

Against such a childishly inclined woman, Ye Xuan really had no interest.

"Admit defeat?" On Li Xue’s beautiful visage suddenly emerged a hint of ferocity, "Do you know how much I have sacrificed to step into the Inscriptions Realm?"

"Today, I must kill you!"

On Li Xue’s body, mighty Dao Patterns began to float, swirling around her, bursting forth with astonishing power!

This was the hallmark of the Inscriptions Realm—the Dao Pattern.

These Dao Patterns, unlike those of Ye Xuan’s Taoist Body, were a type of power cultivated from the Inscriptions Realm.

Each cultivator’s Dao Patterns were unique.

Just like Yang Jinchun’s Wansheng Dao Patterns, which burst forth with earth attribute power combined with his Sixth Rank Spirit of the Void God Realm Mountain Turtle Dragon, formed an invincible defense.

The Dao Patterns cultivated by Li Xue appeared like snowflakes, looking devastatingly beautiful.

A piercing coldness accompanied the emergence of Li Xue’s snowflake Dao Patterns.

Though it was the height of summer, the entire arena seemed to transform into a snowy landscape, as if snowflakes were falling, the chill piercing into one’s heart, making one shiver involuntarily.

"Die!"

With the manipulation of her snowflake Dao Patterns, Li Xue swept through the air in an instant, streaking like a white rainbow.

Where Li Xue passed, snowflakes fell, landing on the ground and turning into meltwater under the fierce sunlight.

"The influence of Li Xue’s Dao Patterns on the world is unexpected..."

The students from Lie Tian Academy were somewhat surprised when they saw this scene.

Li Xue didn’t have much of a reputation at Lie Tian Academy.

In contrast, Li Xue’s older brother Li Zhan was known as a top prodigy at the academy and was once the most likely to be promoted to a new Prince.

However, after the big event in the Imperial City a month ago, Li Zhan disappeared in Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and now, no one knew where he had gone.

Now, the strength displayed by Li Xue took everyone by surprise.

Though she had just entered the first layer of the Inscriptions Realm, the strength she displayed was quite extraordinary!

In the crowd, Yan Feng saw this scene, sighed softly to himself, and remained silent.

Only he knew how much sacrifice Li Xue had made for today.

In fact, he had advised her more than once, albeit in vain.

"Today you got what you wished for, but your path of cultivation ends here," Yan Feng thought to himself.

Li Xue had taken a Forbidden Pill, and though her potential was extraordinary, that was it.

She would never be able to advance any further.

Yan Feng had already made his decision; after today, upon returning to Lie Tian Academy, he would part ways with Li Xue.

As the direct heir of the Yan Family, he still had a long path ahead. If Li Xue hadn’t taken the Forbidden Pill, he could have continued to walk that path with her.

But now it was impossible.

Boom!

No sooner said than done.

As Yan Feng was pondering, in the arena above, Li Xue had already launched an attack in front of Ye Xuan, her hands swiftly forming seals, with a huge snowflake hovering before her.

The snowflake soared like a dragon, hurtling toward Ye Xuan!

Ye Xuan, as if petrified, stood there, awaiting the assault of the snowflake dragon!

"The chief disciple of Emperor Immortal Sect is indeed a weakling!"

Seeing this scene, the students from Lie Tian Academy broke out in laughter.

Even Zhang Yanliang, the top figure of the academy, couldn’t help but shake his head secretly.

He couldn’t understand how such a fellow ended up claiming the position of chief disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Nor could he understand why Zhou Youwei would fall for such a guy...

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanliang felt a twinge of pain in his heart and his gaze subtly shifted to Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei’s long hair reached her waist, dressed in white, she looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace in descent, her flawless face serene, her deep blue eyes always on Ye Xuan.

"Is a weakling really worth her treating him like this..." Zhang Yanliang felt a bit sour in the heart.

Snap!

However, just then, a crisp slap echoed through the arena.

Zhang Yanliang suddenly started, turned his head to look.

When he saw what happened in the arena, he was bewildered.

Li Xue had been slapped away by Ye Xuan?

And the snowflake dragon Li Xue had conjured was swatted away by Ye Xuan like swatting a fly.

This...

Watching Li Xue roll on the ground in disarray, Zhang Yanliang was dumbfounded.

Yan Feng was dumbfounded.

All the six newly appointed Princes were dumbfounded.

Everyone from Lie Tian Academy was dumbfounded.
