While letting out a light sigh, Yang Dingtian grabbed his lance and stomped on the ground. He leapt onto the contest stage.

“No!” Mu Liancheng instantly yelled out, “My daughter is a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior and lost even after using the Sea Snake Transformation. Young… Hero Yan isn't a match for him! Hurry up and come down!”

“I don't have the confidence to defeat him too.” Yang Dingtian looked at Mu Liancheng and said, “However, there are things that you have to do even if you don't have the conviction to do it.”

When Jia Ming saw Yang Dingtian coming up, he immediately let out a hearty laugh, “So there is someone who doesn't want his life anymore. You're just in time though! I'll cut down your head and use it as a urinal pot.”

Immediately after, Tuoba Ye's body burst out with black qi, it had his body and the iron ruler in his hand expand by multiple folds. He was almost like a giant dark devil that suddenly crushed down at Yang Dingtian.

“Kid, I was just playing with that chick earlier. Now, I will let you see Tuoba Ye's true strength!”

The giant iron ruler engulfed with the black shadow suddenly attacked at Yang Dingtian.

Tuoba Ye was a devil who was notorious throughout the thousand miles radius around here. He had committed all kinds of misdeeds, he was mysterious and powerful too. No one would have expected for him to appear in the Mu Clan Docks' martial contest for marriage.

“I would like to see how powerful you are exactly. What's so strange about your black mystic qi?” Yang Dingtian thought in his heart.

Lifting his lance, he aimed it at Tuoba Ye's iron ruler and suddenly thrust at it.

“Bang!” There was a m.u.f.fled sound.

A lump of black shadow moved around the extending lance and immediately entered through Yang Dingtian's palm.

As the black shadow pa.s.sed through his hand, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt his arm feeling sore and almost without any trace of strength. He couldn't even grip the lance which was only a few dozen kilograms.

“Not good…” Yang Dingtian burst in retreat for several meters.

Seeing Yang Dingtian suffering a loss, Tuoba Ye laughed loudly and instantly moved in front of Yang Dingtian like a blurred image. His speed was actually much faster than Yang Dingtian, he then quickly smashed the iron ruler towards Yang Dingtian's chest.

“Be careful!” The people under the stage exclaimed.

Mu Liancheng couldn't help his daughter recuperate anymore. The hidden weapon in his hand abruptly shot out, flying towards Tuoba Ye at lightning speed.

There was an instant flash of light before Mu Liancheng's hidden weapon was intercepted in midair.

Afterward, an indifferent voice echoed from the sky. “Mu Clan Head, you better don't break the rules for this martial contest for marriage.”

Mu Liancheng's expression changed. This individual was actually able to knock away his hidden weapon wouldn't showing himself. It was apparent that his cultivation was superior to Mu Liancheng. After hearing the voice, he could tell that the individual was definitely not younger than himself.

It was evident that Tuoba Ye wasn't the only one that came. There were other experts from the Raging Flames Castle whose cultivation had surpa.s.sed Tuoba Ye.

At this moment, Tuoba Ye's iron ruler had slammed hard into Yang Dingtian's chest.

“You can go and die now!” Tuoba Ye laughed heartily.

There was an intense pain that caused his blood and qi to tumble. Yang Dingtian took a few steps back but was somehow actually fine, the black shadow didn't even contaminate his chest.

“How is this possible? I struck you on your heart and you aren't dead?” Tuoba Ye was alarmed.

Yang Dingtian took a few more steps back and maintained a distance from Tuoba Ye. Yang Dingtian had suffered for the first two moves, but he had also tested out his opponent's limits.

This person's mystic qi cultivation was higher than his, however, Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. As long as it wasn't a battle that exceeded ranks, he wouldn't be at a huge disadvantage. This Tuoba Ye's cultivation was definitely not beyond the Mystic Martial Master cla.s.s, he was much inferior compared to Qin Shaobai. Despite the fact that Yang Dingtian wasn't using the Night Owl Giant Blade and was using a lance which wasn't enhanced by mystic qi, it seemed that his opponent's mystic qi wasn't at the level that could hurt him.

The truly lethal thing was the poison in his foe's mystic qi. That's right, there was poison in his mystic qi! Upon contact, the poisonous mystic qi would enter the body and immediately inflict poison on the mystic meridians. The poison would cause the body to immediately feel sore and the victim would be unable to use their mystic qi.

Hence, even though Mu Lianyi had a higher cultivation than Yang Dingtian, she was still at a huge disadvantage.

The poison in the mystic qi was just like a virus. Even if one was several cla.s.ses stronger than Tuoba Ye in terms of mystic qi, a single touch would cause all the mystic qi to be corroded by the poison. It would make Tuoba Ye's opponent go weak and allowed him to slaughter them.

The crucial part of Tuoba Ye's plans was that he was extremely quick, this made it hard for anyone to hit him, but it was easy for him to hit his foes.

This truly was a world that had all kinds of mysterious things. After coming to the southwest's Savage Lands, he was actually able to see someone who cultivated poisonous mystic qi. Anyone would know that in order to poison the enemy, one had to poison themselves first. Cultivating poisonous mystic qi might be formidable, but the pract.i.tioner would surely shorten their lifespan in the process.

However, as long as one knew of the enemy's trait, there would be a way to defeat it.

Tuoba Ye was fast, had weird footwork, and even poisonous mystic qi.

The way to defeat him was not to clash weapons with him, but it was to get close to him and take the opportunity to break through his defenses and unleash a storm of attacks on him.

“Yan Nantian, you're not a match for him! Get down quickly and we'll discuss another way!” Mu Liancheng was yelling from below.

Yang Dingtian closed his eyes. He started to recall Tuoba Ye's strange footwork and tried to find its flaws. Then, he arranged the combination of the Pig Slaying Sword Art to create the perfect attack pattern and moves to counter against it.

The Pig Slaying Sword Art was able to become the no.1 mystical sword art in the world wasn't merely because of the mystic qi, the sword moves, and the footwork of the user. After practicing the sword moves countless times, the pract.i.tioner could break down the nine moves randomly and arranged them as needed or desired.

The more Yang Dingtian used the Pig Slaying Sword Art, the more he felt the profundity in them.

Seeing Yang Dingtian closing his eyes, Tuoba Ye laughed out and said, “What? Pretending to be dead?”

Finis.h.i.+ng his mockery, Tuoba Ye moved like a phantom and arrived in front of Yang Dingtian in an instant. The iron ruler was then smashed down on Yang Dingtian's head.

With his poisonous mystic qi and quick speed, he was truly fearless with these two advantages on hand.

Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes and saw his opponent smas.h.i.+ng down with the iron ruler. He immediately leaned back and avoided the danger. However, doing this fully exposed the qi vessel area on his abdomen.

Of course, Yang Dingtian was betting this huge risk. He gambled on the fact that Tuoba Ye would attack his qi vessel rather than his lower body. This was because his qi vessel had the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes covered on them while there was nothing protecting his lower body. If he guessed it wrong, then the consequences would be grave.

As expected, when Tuoba Ye saw Yang Dingtian's qi vessel exposed, he was instantly ecstatic. He let out a sinister smile while the iron ruler aimed at Yang Dingtian's qi vessel, he smashed down with astounding qi presence. Tuoba Ye had nearly used all the mystic qi he had as he wanted to smash Yang Dingtian into smithereens.

“No!” Mu Liancheng couldn't hold back anymore. He leaped into the air and wanted to dive at Tuoba Ye like a goshawk hunting a rabbit.

“Ta!” A yell echoed in the air as a grey figure instantly appeared, the figure matched his palm with Mu Liancheng's palm.

Mu Liancheng's body went sluggish and before he fell towards the ground. He took a dozen steps back while his qi and blood were in chaos.

Before anyone could see the face of that grey figure, it suddenly vanished with a speed faster than their eyes could perceive. His footwork was many folds faster than Tuoba Ye's and much stranger too. The two of them were definitely of the same martial dao, this person was clearly Tuoba Ye's master.

“Mu Liancheng, if you dare to interfere with the martial contest again, then don't blame me for being merciless,” The voice of the grey figure echoed in the air.

Concurrently, there was a loud bang as Tuoba Ye's iron ruler smashed onto Yang Dingtian's qi vessel.

“Pfff…” Yang Dingtian vigorously spat out a blood arrow which was a few meters long while his body immediately fell on the ground.

“Ahh!” Mu Liancheng let out a scream of despair.

The qi vessel was the most important part of a martial artist. Once this qi vessel was struck, the martial artist's body would be broken into pieces and he would die on the spot.

However, when Yang Dingtian fell down, a surprising thing happened exactly at the moment his back made contact with the ground. The tip of his foot abruptly kicked at the Tuoba Ye's crotch in a swift and incisive movement.

“Be careful!” The grey figure exclaimed.

Tuoba Ye was currently looking at Mu Lianyi with a pleased expression. When he heard his master say something, he instantly felt a chill on his crotch which frightened him so much his soul nearly flew away.

He wouldn't die after being kicked on the crotch, but his manhood would definitely be turned to a pulp. If that happened, he would rather die.

Tuoba Ye's body turned into a phantom as he suddenly jumped over ten meters in height as though he was a spring that was launched into the sky.

But even so, his crotch was still grazed by the tip of Yang Dingtian's foot, causing an intensely painful sensation. He screamed out in midair while his movement stagnated.

“Now is the time!” Yang Dingtian yelled out. He pushed himself off the ground using his lance, launching his body into midair.

“Swish…” While in midair, Yang Dingtian turned around.

Pig Slaying Sword Art's fourth move, Getting Rid of the Heart and Lungs!

Pig Slaying Sword Art's fifth move, Clearing the Intestines!

Pig Slaying Sword Art's sixth move, Chopping Off the Limbs!

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Taking the opportunity when Tuoba Ye was experiencing intense pain in his crotch and that his body paused. Yang Dingtian used the lance in his hand to launch a storm of attacks, a.s.saulting Tuoba Ye in a frenzy.

One attack after another attack, after another attack…

In just a split moment, Yang Dingtian executed dozens of attacks.

Tuoba Ye was violently spurting blood in midair while his body echoed with the sound of being bludgeoned.

Finally, Yang Dingtian's lance aimed towards Tuoba Ye's head and was just about to smash down.

Pig Slaying Sword Art's third move, Severing the Head!

Tuoba Ye's head was about to be turned into a pulp of flesh.

“Bang!” A grey figure flashed from a distance. A formidable energy cleaved at Yang Dingtian's chest through the air.

Yang Dingtian felt that he was getting suffocated as his body flew back several meters, he was about to fall off the contest stage.

His legs were hooking at the corner of the contest stage. Yang Dingtian struggled to stand up while fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

However, the Tuoba Ye who was supposed to be dead was spinning in midair like a loach before recovering on the ground and standing straight after taking a few steps back.

“Shameless…” Yang Dingtian turned to look at the grey figure's direction and shouted, “Mister, you said that you want the match to be a fair contest and didn't allow the Mu Clan Head to interfere. But just as Tuoba Ye was about to lose, you actually launched a sneak attack on me? You are truly despicable to the extremity. Do you still have the face to be a senior? Has your entire life been the life of a dog?”

That's right, it was Tuoba Ye's master who launched a sneak attack at Yang Dingtian at the final moment. He wanted Yang Dingtian to fail at the moment of success. This was also because Yang Dingtian's final lance attack was about to kill Tuoba Ye.

Yang Dingtian had risked his life to obtain this opportunity. Right now, it was going to be very challenging for Yang Dingtian to give Tuoba Ye another fatal strike.

Yang Dingtian's voice fell silent while the grey figure spoke indifferently, “Kid, your loose tongue might cause more trouble. I can kill you like stepping on an ant.”

“If you're so despicable, what else wouldn't you do? I'm not afraid of death! Why use it to threaten me?” Yang Dingtian sneered and said, “You're the one who is shameless and you don't allow people to point it out?”

“Kid, you will regret this,” The grey figure's sinister voice echoed in the air, however, he didn't reveal himself and even went silent after that statement.

The current Tuoba Ye was drenched in blood and riddled with scars. But his body was very weird, it was as though he had been soaked in poisonous herbs, making his body naturally tough like armor. Yang Dingtian had smashed him with the lance a few dozen times, but only a few bones were broken.

Of course, it was also because Yang Dingtian's weapon was too weak. If it was the Night Owl Giant Blade or the young blade of a sword soul, the current Tuoba Ye would have been dismembered into pieces.

“Tuoba Ye, you have been defeated. Get lost!” Yang Dingtian spoke in a cold voice.

Tuoba Ye wiped the fresh blood of his mouth and glared at Yang Dingtian with eyes of bitter resentment. He sneered and said, “Me? Defeated? It's still too early to say that!”

Finis.h.i.+ng his statement, Tuoba Ye's eyes shot out with a demonic glow while his body arched.

“Pop! Pow! Pop! Pow…” His body let a series of exploding sounds and immediately released clouds of black qi. His body constantly swelled and expanded.

Moments later, Tuoba Ye turned into a fiendish devil that looked extremely ugly. He had totally transformed and was three meters in height.

Right now, not only did he fully regain his cultivation, his mystic qi was even much stronger than before. It was obvious that he was using evil arts to utilize his mystic qi. Yang Dingtian had injured him and he wanted Yang Dingtian to be shredded into pieces.

“I have already announced that Mu Lianyi and the pearl is mine! If anyone dares to obstruct me, I will make them die without any burial grounds!” Tuoba Ye roared out in a frenzied state before shouting towards the sky.

“Dragonfish Transformation!”

Previously he had used the Dragonfish Transformation to instantly defeat the six-star Mystic Martial Warrior, Mu Lianyi. Now, not only did he execute the Dragonfish Transformation, he even used evil arts to have an instant burst in cultivation. The current power he was giving off was much more powerful than the previous Dragonfish Transformation.

In an instant, Tuoba Ye transformed into an incomparably large black shadow. He was like a devilish whirlwind that was trying to envelop Yang Dingtian by covering the sky.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…” There were loud sounds all of a sudden. The entire contest stage was pressed down by black clouds, making everything dark.

“Yan Nantian, get down quickly!” Mu Liancheng exclaimed. He sent a palm strike towards Yang Dingtian, trying to use his mystic qi to push Yang Dingtian off the stage.

“Pfff…” A formidable mystic qi blocked Mu Liancheng's attack. It was that grey figure again. He wanted Yang Dingtian to die from Tuoba Ye's berserk Dragonfish Transformation.

“Despicable!” Mu Liancheng roared out with fury while his eyes were splitting apart.

Tuoba Ye's black sinister shadow suddenly enveloped Yang Dingtian.

The Dragonfish Transformation was Tuoba Ye's trump card. He used the Dragonfish Transformation to neutralize Mu Lianyi's Sea Snake Transformation, back then, it sent her flying several meters.

Earlier on, Tuoba Ye only utilized 50% of the Dragonfish Transformation. Right now, in order to kill Yang Dingtian, he had utilized 120% of the Dragonfish Transformation.

Yang Dingtian was instantly engulfed by the black shadow.

Countless ice blades, mystic qi energy, and poison qi were oppressing and a.s.saulting his body.

Yang Dingtian felt as though he was being molded by countless 500-kilogram hammers while his heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…” Countless attacks struck Yang Dingtian's body.

“Pfff…” Yang Dingtian's blood surged out like a fountain, while his body was suddenly riddled wounds.

Because the black qi contained toxic poison, Yang Dingtian felt as though his mystic qi was depleting rapidly. Heat and blood was also quickly leaving his body. He felt icy cold while his vision was blacking out.

The Dragonfish Transformation was so horrifying, Yang Dingtian didn't even have the strength to retaliate.

“I didn't die in the hands of Qin Shaobai. I didn't die from the Martial Supreme, Ximen Ju either. But I'm going to die in the hands of this Tuoba Ye?” Yang Dingtian thought in his heart.

If he had used the Night Owl Giant Blade, then this wouldn't have been his end. However, Yang Dingtian didn't regret it, he already swore an oath that he was never going to use the Night Owl Giant Blade again.

Just as Yang Dingtian was about to be crushed into pieces, he suddenly felt that this Dragonfish Transformation was very familiar.

He quickly recalled. This Dragonfish Transformation looked very similar to the Devil Devour Sword Formation that Qin Shaobai used. He immediately realized that it wasn't just similar, it truly was the Devil Devour Sword Formation! However, this was the fake version of the Devil Devour Sword Formation, it was simply wrapped with a layer of poison qi.

He didn't expect for Tuoba Ye to actually know the fake version of the Devil Devour Sword Formation. This was an Evil Dao's martial arts.

“Devil Devour Sword Formation? I can break out of it with my eyes closed!” Yang Dingtian laughed grimly and began to circulate his mystic qi throughout his entire body. He aimed at the most powerful, dangerous, and insane corner before finally rus.h.i.+ng out with lightning speed. It was the Devil Devour Sword Formation's only flaw.

Right now, Mu Liancheng and the grey figure were already in combat.

Everyone looked at the contest stage with despair. Even Mu Lianyi had a grieving expression on her face. Everyone watching already a.s.sumed that Yang Dingtian was dead inside Tuoba Ye's Dragonfish Transformation.

“Bang!” A loud noise suddenly erupted.

Yang Dingtian's figure rushed out from within the cloud of black shadows, he directly rushed out from that horrifying Devil Devour Sword Formation.

“Ahh!” Everyone let out gasps of surprise and couldn't believe what they saw. Even Tuoba Ye was stunned.

Yang Dingtian actually didn't perish from his mystical and powerful Dragonfish Transformation! He even broke out of the formation?

“How… how is this possible?”

“Now you can die!” Yang Dingtian abruptly leaped up and dove into the Dragonfish Transformation's black shadow once again. He raised the lance and aimed towards one of the black shadows before he smashed down.

“Pfff…” Fresh blood splattered everywhere.

“Ahh!” There was a mournful scream.

The Dragonfish Transformation's giant black whirlwind had vanished without a trace. The only thing visible was Tuoba Ye miserably screaming while his body flew several meters like rice straw. His skull was split open and fresh blood was gus.h.i.+ng out, he still had yet to die.

Everyone was completely shocked.

What was going on? Not only did Yang Dingtian break the Dragonfish Transformation, he even split Tuoba Ye's skull?

This Tuoba Ye was much stronger than Mu Lianyi! Mu Lianyi's mystic qi cla.s.s was even more superior to Yang Dingtian!

The grey figure and Mu Liancheng stopped fighting and looked at the stage with surprise in their eyes.

Yang Dingtian looked down at Tuoba Ye, the latter was vomiting blood on the ground. Yang Dingtian said, “You have lost. You cannot marry Mu Lianyi anymore. Get your a.s.s back to Raging Flames Castle!”
