Chapter 54: Chapter 53: The Seventh Elder’s Sneak Attack
But in the next moment, everyone was stunned.
As Tang Mingtian’s fist came hurtling forward, Tang Yi’s fingers moved without any flourish. With just a light flick—before his fingers even made contact with Tang Mingtian—a sharp burst of Powerful Energy shot out from them.
This burst of Powerful Energy first collided with the crescent-shaped wave of energy around Tang Mingtian’s fist.
WHOOSH!
Instantly, the energy wave churned as if in fear of this Powerful Energy, parting to let it pass.
The energy wave was pierced in an instant, and the Powerful Energy then struck the white light on Tang Mingtian’s fist.
Immediately after, the shockwave-like energy and the enveloping white light on Tang Mingtian’s fist began to crack. Like an eggshell, countless fractures appeared in an instant before it shattered with a CRACK and vanished into thin air.
The Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique had been defeated.
"Ah!"
’This is impossible!’
Tang Mingtian’s eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him!
But before he could even begin to understand how Tang Yi had done it, a Giant Power surged toward him.
After shattering the energy wave and the white light around Tang Mingtian’s hand, the burst of Powerful Energy continued onward, unabated, and slammed into his fist.
BOOM!
As the Giant Power struck, Tang Mingtian felt as if his fist had been smashed with a hammer. An excruciating pain shot through it, then spread throughout his entire body, making his organs churn.
Tang Mingtian’s punch could no longer advance. Instead, he was blasted back by an immense force, his body unable to bear it as he was sent flying.
Just like the first time, his body was flicked away by Tang Yi.
But this time, it wasn’t as simple as just being sent flying.
Tang Mingtian’s body flew for more than ten meters, soaring completely off the arena before landing on the ground with a THUD.
As he landed, he threw his head back and violently spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries. Then, his eyelids fluttered shut, and he fainted.
The power of a single flick was this terrifying!
Everyone below the arena was dumbfounded. They never expected Tang Yi to actually break Tang Mingtian’s Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique with just two fingers, much less send him flying, coughing up blood, and fainting.
Tang Mingtian, the number one genius of the Tang Family, couldn’t even withstand a single flick from Tang Yi’s two fingers!
It was simply unimaginable.
Everyone was stunned speechless by Tang Yi’s Techniques. The entire Martial Arts Arena fell into a dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long moment, the sound of sharp intakes of breath finally broke the silence below the arena.
"This... How can Tang Yi be so strong!"
"Tang Yi is incredible! He was a late bloomer. He used to be a super Big Waste, and now he’s turned into an unparalleled genius. It’s unbelievable. Thank goodness I never bullied him back then."
"Tang Mingtian is already a Two-star Battle Grandmaster, and even he couldn’t take a single flick from Tang Yi. Who else in the Tang Family could possibly be his opponent?"
"A new number one genius has been born!"
"Perhaps in the near future, Tang Yi can truly lead the Tang Family to new heights."
"..."
Seeing Tang Yi’s might and how easily he defeated the Tang Family’s number one genius, Tang Mingtian, the crowd erupted into discussion, sighing with amazement.
This battle, one had to admit, was rather boring. Its only highlight was Tang Mingtian using the Tang Family’s strongest Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique, the Profound Ice Break.
From beginning to end, the two had only exchanged blows twice.
The first time, Tang Mingtian struck at Tang Yi with a punch using the 5th Layer of his Power. In response, Tang Yi used no Techniques at all, simply putting forth two fingers and flicking Tang Mingtian away.
The second time, Tang Mingtian used his full strength and the Tang Family’s strongest Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique. Yet Tang Yi still only used two fingers, not only flicking Tang Mingtian off the arena but also knocking him unconscious and causing him considerable internal injuries.
Both exchanges were a complete rout, utterly devoid of suspense!
"This..."
"The Power Tang Yi has displayed seems to have already surpassed our own. He’s so formidable. I can’t see through him at all."
"Me too! It seems the student has truly surpassed the master. I feel that if I were to fight Tang Yi, I probably couldn’t win either."
"That burst he just flicked out... was that Powerful Energy? Just what level of strength has he reached now?"
"The Clan Leader is truly blessed to have such a son. The Tang Family is destined for greatness."
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Clan Leader!"
When the Elders saw Tang Yi defeat Tang Mingtian, their jaws dropped in astonishment. They then gathered around Tang Haotian to congratulate him.
At this moment, anyone could see that Tang Yi had risen. The future of the Tang Family would surely belong to him.
"You’re all too kind, Elders," Tang Haotian said humbly. "Tang Yi is still young. No matter how powerful he becomes, he is still just one person. In the future, he will still need all of your help."
Tang Haotian spoke with humility, but inwardly he was ecstatic. He had known for a while that Tang Yi had a fortuitous encounter and that his strength was on a whole new level, but he never imagined he would be so strong that even the Tang Family’s Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique was useless against him.
’Just what level has Tang Yi’s strength reached now?’ he wondered.
"Hmph."
The Seventh Elder snorted coldly, his expression utterly foul.
With Tang Yi’s victory, if you had to ask who was the most displeased, it was undoubtedly the Seventh Elder. However, beyond his foul expression, a sinister glint now appeared in his eyes. His hands were clenched into tight fists, his thoughts a mystery.
Having defeated Tang Mingtian, Tang Yi had no reason to remain on the Martial Arts Arena. Besides, waves of drowsiness were washing over him, and he was exhausted. He turned, ready to leave the arena and return to his residence to rest.
But at that moment, the sound of something tearing through the air was accompanied by a furious roar.
"Tang Yi, you whelp! Give me back my grandson’s life!"
It was the Seventh Elder!
Taking advantage of the moment Tang Yi turned his back, and while the other Elders were congratulating Tang Haotian, he had leaped down from the high platform to launch a sneak attack on Tang Yi!
At this time, the clan members were still savoring the power of Tang Yi’s two-fingered flick, the Elders were busy flattering Tang Haotian, and Tang Haotian himself was happily accepting their praise. No one reacted in time; no one had expected the Seventh Elder to seize this exact moment to strike at Tang Yi.
The Seventh Elder’s Speed was immense. He clenched his fist and struck with extreme viciousness, putting all his strength into the blow.
He too was a Two-star Battle Grandmaster, and this was a sneak attack. If this punch landed, Tang Yi would die on the spot—not even an Immortal could save him!
It seemed the death of Tang Fangzhou had driven the Seventh Elder into a Frenzy. Seeing that Tang Mingtian had failed to avenge Fangzhou, he had decided to take matters into his own hands, casting aside all principles to launch a sneak attack on Tang Yi while everyone was distracted.
It looked as if Tang Yi was about to be struck.
But...
Although Tang Yi’s back was to the Seventh Elder, he was a Battle Spirit Powerhouse!
How could the sharpened five senses of a Battle Spirit Powerhouse possibly be caught off guard by a mere Battle Grandmaster’s sneak attack?
And so, he...
