The atmosphere in the black hole was extremely discordant. Zong Nan and Cheng Ze were unaware that the Huang Yao brothers each had their own ulterior motives, both planning to use the other two as cannon fodder at the first opportunity. Cheng Ze was relatively calm; after shouting once, Huang Yao couldn't entangle him further.
However, Zong Nan was in a difficult position. He had a kind heart and didn't think too badly of the situation, but what Huang Yao said in the end made him so angry that he could hardly contain himself!
Zong Nan suddenly stood up, pointing his finger at Huang Yao and shouted, "Don't go too far! I respect you for entering the field before me, but I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
This commotion startled Cheng Ze and Huang Ge, who were still meditating. Huang Ge merely watched coldly, sneering inwardly. Finally unable to hold back, he thought his brother Wang was just waiting for Zong Nan to explode so he could take action!
Cheng Ze, however, did not think this way. He glared at Huang Yao and Zong Nan, knowing that Zong Nan wouldn't explode for no reason. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Why are we causing such a ruckus?"
At this moment, Huang Yao spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Oh dear, Elder Brother, I don't appreciate your words. We were having a good conversation; why are you getting angry? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"You! You!" Zong Nan pointed at him furiously. It was clearly Huang Yao who saw him as easy prey and relentlessly disturbed his peace of mind, yet now it turned into his fault!
Cheng Ze also sensed something was off and gave Huang Yao a meaningful glance. Then he quietly tugged at Zong Nan's collar while saying, "We're all from the same sect; why make things so unpleasant? Let's all calm down."
Originally hot-tempered, he had turned into a peacemaker—what an irony! However, the atmosphere in the room was indeed too tense. If Huang Yao got angry, those two brothers might attack Zong Nan in this environment, leaving Cheng Ze in a position where he couldn't help either side!
Zong Nan seemed to understand his gesture and tried to suppress his anger with a cold snort, deciding not to escalate things further. Unfortunately, Huang Yao wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away easily!
He coldly remarked, "What? Realizing your mistakes? I see you two are in cahoots. If I hadn't found this hiding place, you would have been dead by now!"
These words were clearly provocative; not only Zong Nan but even Cheng Ze was infuriated by what he said!
"Huang Yao! What do you mean by that? What do you think you are! We respect you as our senior brother, but don't get too full of yourself!" Cheng Ze immediately took the same stance as Zong Nan!
Huang Yao sneered repeatedly as he released his aura; the power of the Ninth Level of Yuanwu Realm spread out and further intensified the tension in the room.
In a sealed environment, it is easiest to see a person's true nature because the oppressive atmosphere creates chaos without needing much reason. Human nature is like this; originally just testing Zong Nan and the others, Huang Yao finally couldn't help but reveal his true self. He thought that since he couldn't escape this damned black hole for now, he might as well eliminate these two thorns in his side first!
As his cultivation energy surged outward, Cheng Ze and Zong Nan were taken aback. They had only been speaking candidly and did not expect this guy to take action. Cheng Ze, being stubborn, immediately drew his Crimson Flame Twin Blades, releasing a fiery aura. Although the Martial Technique he practiced was ineffective against Netherfire, it still held considerable deterrent power for martial artists.
Zong Nan also quietly circulated his internal energy, and the atmosphere in the black hole instantly became tense and charged with hostility.
Only Huang Ge stood aside, revealing a sinister smile. He seemed uninterested in helping his brother but also did not wish to stop the unfolding scene; perhaps he had been waiting for such an opportunity all along.
"Very well! It seems you two have long harbored grievances against me! In this place, who knows when we will see the light of day again? Why not have a fight? Only the one who survives can prove the truth of survival of the fittest!" Huang Yao said cruelly.
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of you?" Cheng Ze retorted.
Zong Nan also stubbornly shouted, "Don't think we're scared just because you're ranked forty-sixth in the Outer Sect! Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yao made his move. Although he was quite self-assured, he wasn't overly arrogant; he knew that striking first was crucial. Without any warning, he unleashed a Rending Wind Palm!
The powerful Rending Wind Palm was merely an ordinary Martial Technique, but when released with pure Vital Energy from a martial artist, it became extremely lethal!
Cheng Ze and Zong Nan were caught off guard and staggered back several steps as the Rending Wind Palm brushed past them, injuring them in the process!
They gasped in shock! It turned out Huang Yao was indeed serious! Cheng Ze shouted, "You black-hearted tiger! You really dare to go all out! Watch my Fire Cloud Slash!"
With that command, his Crimson Flame Twin Blades were enveloped in intense flames that took on a cloud-like form, illuminating the entire black hole as it was swiftly slashed forward!
The Fire Cloud roared as it charged toward Huang Yao. However, Huang Yao merely smirked disdainfully; he sank his legs and leaped lightly to evade this attack. The scorching Fire Cloud Slash missed its target and struck the wall behind him, sending countless sparks flying!
Just like the battle situation in the arena, things escalated quickly! Zong Nan gritted his teeth, knowing that this fight was unavoidable. He then channeled his energy into both palms and launched an attack at Huang Yao!
"Mountain-Splitting Palm! Go!" The incredibly powerful palm wind erupted from his palms as it struck toward Huang Yao in mid-air without any hesitation; one could hear the air being torn apart by its force!
Huang Yao remained unfazed. With a casual punch, he displayed the prowess of someone at the Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level, directly dispersing Zong Nan's Mountain-Splitting Palm! At the same time, he unleashed several punches in mid-air! The endless waves of punches demonstrated the strength of someone at the late stage of Origin Martial Realm!
The air shattered under the impact of the fist waves, causing the entire space to tremble! Cheng Ze swung his Crimson Flame Twin Blades, desperately trying to cut through those fist waves, but to little effect; the dense barrage of punches completely surrounded him!
After two rounds, he had already been forced back repeatedly, while Zong Nan, weakened from earlier exertion, was in an even more precarious state. Several fist waves struck his chest, causing his throat to churn and blood to rise!
"Damn it! I'm going all out!" Cheng Ze shouted, his Crimson Flame Twin Blades flaring up as he unleashed his ultimate move, Blazing Inferno! This was his signature technique!
At this moment, facing Huang Yao, he did not hold back. It seemed he was pushed to his limits! Zong Nan couldn't help but hold his breath upon witnessing this!
The raging flames scorched the small black hole, and the temperature soared instantly. Even from a distance, sweat poured down as flames enveloped Cheng Ze's twin blades, glowing a fiery red! They even emitted a ghostly blue light, a manifestation of extreme heat!
Huang Yao frowned at the sight. Facing such a powerful move, even he could not underestimate it. He planted his legs firmly on the ground and sank his Dantian, beginning to fully extract the True Energy within him. His expression turned solemn as an astonishing radiance emanated from him!
Zong Nan sensed something was off and recognized that this guy intended to unleash Huang Ge's earlier move, Chaotic Star Explosion! He couldn't help but shout a warning: "Be careful! He's preparing to unleash a big move too!"
This warning was unnecessary; Cheng Ze could also feel the strange absorption of True Energy in the air. Both he and Zong Nan had witnessed Huang Ge's full-force Chaotic Star Explosion before—it had instantly obliterated their Netherfire without any chance of retaliation!
At this moment, Huang Yao was also planning to go for broke against his fellow disciple! However, Cheng Ze's ultimate technique, Blazing Inferno, was no joke either! With the battle having progressed this far, there was no turning back! It was either you die or I die!
The scene escalated into an unprecedented climax. Zong Nan kept his distance, fearing he would be caught in the impending shockwave. Meanwhile, Huang Ge watched coldly with a satisfied smile on his face, thinking to himself: Let them fight; let them destroy each other!
"Cheng Ze, you’re asking for death!" Huang Yao roared madly. Endless True Energy was extracted into Spirit Essence particles that were even purer and more numerous than those refined by Huang Ge, bursting forth from his body!
"Chaotic Star Explosion! Explode for me!" At the same time, Cheng Ze screamed in desperation: "Blazing Inferno! Burn for me!"
The two high-level Martial Techniques collided—what kind of sparks would erupt? The answer came quickly... there were no sparks at all; not even a sound could be heard. The fiery red to ghostly blue flames erupted and vanished in an instant!
The countless Spirit Essence particles ultimately did not explode; instead, they fizzled out like dud rounds, slowly falling through the air until they completely disappeared! The scene froze as everyone felt an unsettling chill!
This chill shot straight up to their minds! It sealed everyone's Dantian and rendered them unable to mobilize Vital Energy to warm their bodies! Their movements became stiff as fear filled the eyes of Huang Yao, Huang Ge, Cheng Ze, and Zong Nan; they had never imagined such a situation!
It felt as if they were frozen; even breathing became difficult. They could not comprehend what had happened! Normally speaking, at this moment, the black hole should have erupted with terrifying force from the battle—high temperatures combined with explosive power would leave no one unscathed!
At this moment, a dead silence enveloped the black hole. Where did that cold, lonely aura come from? The answer was soon revealed!
A figure gradually appeared in everyone's sight, drawing all eyes to this person. Their expressions shifted from fear to shock in an instant; this figure was both familiar and yet incredibly strange to them!
The silent aura he emitted and the color of his pupils were both so cold and merciless!
"Ye Feng!" everyone exclaimed in astonishment! Compared to the excitement of Cheng Ze and Zong Nan, Huang Yao and Huang Ge appeared somewhat fearful. They had never seen such a powerful Ye Feng!
They didn't even have time to think about how he had awakened; they were all left speechless by the means Ye Feng had displayed upon waking!
How could he erase Huang Yao's Chaotic Star Explosion and Cheng Ze's Blazing Inferno, while also intimidating everyone present? Was this really the Ye Feng who was only at the Origin Martial Realm?
As they looked at Ye Feng, they felt that even a Martial Saint would not be his opponent! This terrifying illusion did not pass quickly; instead, it spread persistently. Ye Feng's icy gaze swept over everyone, but his mind was in turmoil!
He had only been gone for a short while, so how had the team begun to turn on each other?
If it weren't for him urgently using Divine Soul to reconstitute himself and employing the Ice Spirit Technique to resolve the crisis, who knew what kind of situation they would be in now!
