Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Kneel Down and Apologize, and I’ll Give You a Way to Live
With a slight squeeze of his hand, Ye Tianling made the Long Spear fly over and land in his grasp.
Kong Daoyuan shuddered. Unable to withstand the backlash from having his Spiritual Artifact stolen, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Utter horror filled his eyes. The man had casually snatched his Weapon; his strength was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined!
After all, this Top Grade Spiritual Long Spear was connected to his very mind and Soul, an extension of his own arm!
Yet now, with a single grab, he had lost Control of it. The connection to his Soul had been severed. It was then that Kong Daoyuan knew he had picked a fight with the wrong person.
’The man before me is no nobody... but who is he?’
Kong Daoyuan’s expression was grim. He stared intently at Ye Tianling, but he couldn’t recognize him.
Ye Tianling held the Long Spear in his hand as a ball of Flame erupted from his palm.
Within the space of a single breath, the Long Spear was incinerated, reduced to a stream of pure Origin Energy. This Energy was then naturally absorbed by the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword.
Kong Daoyuan’s face went deathly pale. His Top Grade Spiritual Long Spear, reduced to nothing, just like that!
The man’s Flame sent a chill through his heart, and his very Soul began to tremble.
An overwhelming, instinctual fear that he could not control washed over him.
"Kneel. Slap your own face until your mouth is a mangled mess. Do that, and I might spare your pathetic life."
Ye Tianling said, his voice not particularly cold.
But this dispassionate tone sent an even deeper chill through Kong Daoyuan’s heart.
The hatred from having his life-bound Long Spear destroyed had driven him to the brink of hysteria. But then, he thought of Brother Lindao, and a sliver of confidence returned to him.
’Brother Lindao is in this very region. This Human Race Cultivator is strong, but there’s no way he’s stronger than Brother Lindao!’
"How dare you humiliate me! Kid, I admit you’re strong, but the Peacock Divine Son of my Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage is in this very region! If you dare disrespect me, the Peacock Divine Son will not let you get away with it!"
Kong Daoyuan said, suppressing his rage and venom as he bit out each word.
"I gave you your chance."
Ye Tianling said coolly.
With that, his figure blurred, leaving a terrifying afterimage in his wake.
WHOOSH—
Ye Tianling threw a punch, aiming straight for the space between Kong Daoyuan’s eyebrows.
The punch contained no great amount of Battle Power. But even as a casual strike, given Ye Tianling’s mastery over his Abilities and the terrifying depth of his own Battle Power, it was far more than Kong Daoyuan could ever hope to block.
The fist shot through the air, its Fist Intent seeming to commune with Heaven and Earth, gathering all the rhythmic aura of the Dao.
Kong Daoyuan’s pupils constricted as his eyes filled with panic and terror. He could feel the terrifying presence of death looming over him.
But it was too late.
Ye Tianling was utterly decisive. The instant the words left his lips, his fist was already flying.
VMMM—
As the fist flew, terrifying Fist Intent crushed the Void. A chill ran through Kong Daoyuan’s body and soul, and with a THUD, he fell to his knees.
HSSS—
At the same time, Kong Daoyuan activated his Lifebound Guardian, desperately trying to block the blow.
PFFT—
Ye Tianling’s punch, condensed with Battle Intent, struck Kong Daoyuan directly.
Kong Daoyuan’s body shuddered, and then the spot between his eyebrows exploded.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
Three rays of light on his body exploded. His so-called Lifebound Guardian was nothing before Ye Tianling’s Battle Power.
One punch had shattered them all.
"AHH—"
Kong Daoyuan let out a final, miserable cry as his Battle Soul shot out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a shadowy Flowing Light that fled into the Void!
"Trying to escape?"
Ye Tianling snorted. Two terrifying beams of Divine Radiance shot from his eyes.
The Divine Power converged in the Void, forming two intersecting arcs of light that instantly struck Kong Daoyuan’s Battle Soul.
PFFT—
The gaze, imbued with the terrifying Battle Intent of the Samadhi Celestial Fire and the Destruction Killing Dao, instantly shattered Kong Daoyuan’s Battle Soul.
"Stay your hand—"
Just then, a furious roar echoed from the distance. Thunderclouds roiled as the Five-Colored Divine Light exploded forth, forming a colossal silhouette of light that shot murderously toward Ye Tianling.
The silhouette was that of an enormous Immortal Phoenix Peacock. Its colors were so vibrant and beautiful they could mesmerize and disorient any who looked upon it.
But none of this had any effect on Ye Tianling.
With a single blow, Ye Tianling had annihilated Kong Daoyuan’s Battle Soul. Under the power of the Celestial Fire, Kong Daoyuan was well and truly dead.
As the killing intent from the Five-Colored Divine Light Battle Soul descended, Ye Tianling threw another punch.
PFFT—
With this punch, Ye Tianling unleashed the Fist Intent of the Reincarnation Life and Death Fist.
The punch made the Void tremble. Under the force of his fist, the enormous Immortal Phoenix Peacock Battle Soul shattered, exploding into a prismatic shower of Five-Colored Divine Light.
The sky became a dazzling spectacle, as if a rainbow had just exploded.
The Cultivators passing by watched this scene in stunned horror, completely dumbfounded.
"Someone actually provoked him? Didn’t they know he beat Saint Son Long Aosen to a pulp just before this?"
"You didn’t see? A moment ago, he killed Kong Daoyuan, the Peacock Divine Son’s kinsman, with a single punch. The one attacking now is Kong Daoting, Kong Daoyuan’s kinswoman."
"This guy is so vicious! He attacks without a second thought over the slightest disagreement!"
"The Human Race needs more geniuses like him. We have the Celestial Secret Divine Son to thank for this. If he hadn’t started this trend of killing, the Human Race would never have grown such a backbone!"
"Exactly! Someone needs to take these Alien Race prodigies down a peg. If we don’t, more of our own Human Race geniuses will be slaughtered."
"But Kong Daoting is highly regarded within the Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage! Who is this young genius? Isn’t he afraid of courting disaster?"
"He seems to be on good terms with Chu Shaocheng. He’s probably someone from the Chu Family."
"Chu Shaocheng called him ’Brother Ye’. Could he be from the Ye Race as well?"
"The Ye Race is known for producing geniuses. They already have Unparalleled Divine Ladies like Ye Yuemei and Ye Tianxi, not to mention a peerless figure like the Celestial Secret Divine Son. If this man is also from the Ye Race, it would certainly make sense."
...
More and more Cultivators gathered at the scene. After all, an Immortal Phoenix Peacock Battle Soul several hundred meters in size, exploding into a shower of Five-Colored Divine Light, was an incredibly attention-grabbing sight.
This area also happened to be a major thoroughfare for Cultivators using Sky Control just outside of Qingyang Town.
Ye Tianling ignored the chatter. After shattering the Immortal Phoenix Peacock Battle Soul with a single punch, he saw the beautiful young woman coughing up mouthfuls of blood, clearly having suffered a severe blow.
"Kneel and kowtow. Apologize, and I’ll let you live. Same as before, you only get one chance. I’m only offering this out of respect for Kong Lindao."
Ye Tianling said coolly.
