In the tavern, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark green robe suddenly appeared. He was none other than Xu Tai, the head of the Xu Family!
His gaze swept over the corpses and severed limbs scattered on the ground, and Xu Tai couldn't help but twitch his lips, speaking in a deep voice, "What ruthless methods!"
"Head of the family, this is great! Now that you're here, I'm saved!" Zhang Sen crawled over to Xu Tai's side, grabbing the latter's clothing and shouting excitedly.
Xu Tai glanced at Zhang Sen with some disdain and said with slight anger, "Old Zhang, your current appearance has somewhat overturned the image I had of you!"
Zhang Sen was taken aback by these words, and a hint of shame appeared on his withered old face.
Back in the day, he had been defeated by Cold Boyuan and, out of desperation, sought refuge with the Xu Family. At that time, Xu Tai had just taken over as the head of the family. It was a time when the Xu Family needed people, and he had indeed made a name for himself in Spirit Martial Town. Thus, relying on his extensive knowledge, he had boasted and impressed Xu Tai so much that he was left speechless. Coupled with his knack for appearing mysterious and profound, he gradually secured his position as the steward of the Xu Family over the years. If it weren't for this encounter with Ye Tian, he might still be seen by Xu Tai as an enigmatic powerhouse.
"Head of the family, although this little brat is only at the seventh stage of Warrior Definition, his true strength can probably rival that of a Martial Master!" Zhang Sen pointed at Ye Tian with resentment.
His words were not merely an excuse; Ye Tian's displayed strength was indeed somewhat monstrous.
"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Tai's face. Although he didn't believe that Ye Tian could truly contend with a Martial Master, he was somewhat astonished by the mention of the seventh stage of Warrior Definition.
After taking a deep look at Ye Tian, Xu Tai thought to himself: "During the Martial Arts Selection Tournament, he was only a Fourth-Stage Warrior. How did he suddenly soar to the seventh stage? That seems unlikely!"
Indeed, only two or three months had passed since the Martial Arts Selection Tournament. To advance three stages in such a short time? That seemed quite sensational.
One must know that for an average martial cultivator entering Warrior Definition, it typically takes about four months to advance each stage; three stages would require a full year.
Some might argue that geniuses don't need such long periods. However, even Wang Weiyang, who was hailed as the most talented individual in Spirit Martial Town, took six months to advance from Fourth-Stage Warrior to the seventh stage. In contrast, Ye Tian managed to do it in half that time!
"Kid, have you really reached the seventh stage of Warrior Definition?" Xu Tai slowly approached Ye Tian and examined him from head to toe.
"Did you instruct them to do this?" Ye Tian did not answer his question but coldly asked instead.
"What?" Xu Tai was taken aback by the question. Although he was powerful, he was not particularly clever; otherwise, he wouldn't have been deceived by Zhang Sen into taking the position of family steward and holding it for over a decade.
"Heh, your Xu Family is at least a dominant force in Spirit Martial Town, and you are the head of the family. Are you really afraid to take responsibility for this?" Ye Tian looked at Xu Tai with disdain, full of mockery.
Seeing Ye Tian's expression, Zhang Sen's eyes rolled as he flashed a barely noticeable cunning look. He leaned closer to Xu Tai's ear and spoke in a tone that Ye Tian could also hear, "Family Head, he is talking about our actions this time."
Zhang Sen was quite scheming; with just a glance at Ye Tian's expression, he devised a plan. Both Xu Tai and Ye Tian held significant positions—one was the leader of one of the three major families, while the other was the prospective son-in-law of Cold Boyuan. Both represented powerful factions, so they had to consider the consequences before taking action.
If Xu Tai denied this matter, the Cold Family would indeed have no reason to act against the Xu Family. However, it was a fact that these guards were all from the Xu Family. Who would bear the blame for that?
It was evident that since he had enmity with Cold Boyuan, the blame would naturally fall on him!
Zhang Sen was relentless in his schemes, secretly cultivating power and ambushing Cold Frost, intending to incite a war between the Cold and Xu families. His malicious intent towards Spirit Martial Town was clear and deserved severe punishment!
At that time, as long as Xu Tai said this, the one who would ultimately take the fall along with Zhang Sen would be none other than himself!
Thus, thinking along these lines, Zhang Sen didn't give Xu Tai a chance to speak. A seemingly casual remark effectively tied Xu Tai to him.
However, Zhang Sen's cunning did not work on Xu Tai.
"Oh..." Upon hearing Zhang Sen's words, Xu Tai reacted and let out an "oh," but still did not admit anything.
"Heh, Xu Tai, your Xu Family is at least a dominant force in Spirit Martial Town. Do you really lack even this bit of responsibility?" Ye Tian sneered and looked down on Xu Tai's unwillingness to admit it.
In response to this, Xu Tai did not reply but instead patted Zhang Sen on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Lao, did you do this? If it was you, just admit it."
"Master of the House..." Even Zhang Sen did not expect that he would so obviously reveal himself, yet he still managed to feign indifference.
"Don't worry, we've been friends for many years. With me here, who can do anything to you?" Xu Tai patted Zhang Sen's shoulder again and then looked up at Ye Tian, speaking dismissively. His expression clearly showed that he did not take Ye Tian seriously at all.
Hearing Xu Tai's words, Zhang Sen finally felt relieved. Even though he didn't admit it, he believed his life would be preserved.
"Kid, it was me who did it. What can you do about it?" Zhang Sen boasted, hiding behind Xu Tai and shouting.
With a raised brow, Ye Tian coldly said, "Xu Tai, even if you don't admit it today, I still can't do anything to you. But listen carefully, I must take Zhang Sen's life!"
"Heh, then let's see if you have the ability!"
As soon as the words fell, almost simultaneously, Ye Tian moved swiftly, blue lightning swirling in his palm as he attacked Xu Tai.
"Bagua Thunder Palm, heh, if you were Cold Boyuan, maybe I would be a bit afraid!" Xu Tai scoffed disdainfully and casually extended a palm to meet Ye Tian's attack.
Bang!
With a loud crash, where their palms met, blue light flashed intensely, and a powerful shockwave of elemental force suddenly erupted, sending debris flying everywhere.
Step step step...
The sound of hurried footsteps came as Xu Tai was forced to retreat three steps!
"This..." Xu Tai looked at Ye Tian in astonishment. He never expected that this young boy could master the Bagua Thunder Palm to such an extent.
"Master of the House, I wasn't wrong. He has the potential to contend with a Martial Master!" Zhang Sen quickly hid beside Xu Tai again, not forgetting to say this.
In fact, Xu Tai was not repelled because Ye Tian truly possessed the ability to confront a Martial Master-level expert, but rather because Xu Tai believed that Ye Tian, at such a young age, could not possibly master the Bagua Thunder Palm better than Cold Boyuan. Thus, he let his guard down and was caught off guard by Ye Tian.
"Indeed, you are extraordinary! I underestimated you!" Xu Tai nodded, this compliment coming from the heart.
"However, with just this, you probably still lack the ability to kill someone right under my nose!" After saying this, Xu Tai stepped forward, his fingers moving in a peculiar manner as if he were activating some kind of technique.
"Enough with the nonsense!" Ye Tian had no time for banter; he quickly sprang forward again with a single leap.
"Divine Eagle Battle Body!"
As his fingers touched together at last, Xu Tai shouted loudly, completing his finger technique as the Divine Eagle Battle Body was activated.
"Divine Eagle Battle Body?" Upon hearing these words, Ye Tian was slightly surprised; this was the rumored strongest defensive martial art of Spirit Martial Town, the Yellow Rank Nine Divine Eagle Battle Body!
Looking at Xu Tai, he saw that the latter was now enveloped in a layer of golden-red Primordial Feather, glowing brilliantly as if he were transforming into a feathered being.
Bang!
In his moment of astonishment, Ye Tian's Bagua Thunder Palm struck heavily against Xu Tai's chest.
However, Xu Tai remained unmoved. A sharp pain surged through Ye Tian's arm; the immense recoil caused him to frown as his body flipped backward. Yet in that instant of retreat, his other hand seemed to use the momentum to tap lightly on Xu Tai's chest.
"Heh heh, do you still think you can kill someone right under my nose?" Xu Tai was exceedingly pleased with himself, looking at Ye Tian with a mocking gaze and tauntingly said, "Kid, don't think you're so impressive. Let me tell you, you're still far from being a true expert!"
"Don't get too cocky too soon!" A faint smirk appeared at the corner of Ye Tian's mouth as he returned the same look.
"Hahaha, still talking tough? You think you can threaten my Divine Eagle Battle Body with just that..."
"Break!"
Xu Tai's words were abruptly interrupted by Ye Tian, and immediately a dull sound echoed from Xu Tai's chest.
Amid the explosion sound, several golden-red feathers slowly floated down...
"What?!" Xu Tai looked at the scene before him in disbelief. Although Ye Tian did not cause him any harm, the ability to damage the Divine Eagle Battle Body was something that should not exist in someone who had not even reached Martial Mastery.
To break through a Yellow Rank Nine defensive martial art, the attacking martial art must at least reach Earth Level One!
"How... did you do that?" After a moment of shock, Xu Tai asked in astonishment.
As his gaze swept over Xu Tai's slightly damaged Divine Eagle Battle Body, Ye Tian furrowed his brows, secretly astonished by the strength of the Divine Eagle Battle Body.
Just now, what seemed like a borrowed force was actually a seal technique. With Ye Tian's current sealing speed, even someone with Xu Tai's keen eyesight could not see through it.
The power of the Seal Technique is proportional to its speed; given Ye Tian's speed, its power was unimaginable.
However, what Ye Tian did not expect was that after taking a hit from Thunder Palm and then being detonated by Nine Seals, the Divine Eagle Battle Body was only slightly damaged!
