Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

"Pfft...!"

Ye Han spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs pierced by a powerful force, his body on the verge of exploding.

The gap was too vast!

Lu Yunxiao was simply not in the same league as Li Kai, whom he had previously slain.

"You little bastard, I'll cripple you!"

Lu Yunxiao, enduring the intense pain of his split palm, took a forceful step forward, shaking the ground beneath him.

His figure seemed to teleport, appearing directly in front of Ye Han. With a palm strike, Ye Han, struggling to stand, was violently sent flying, blood spurting once again.

Within Lu Yunxiao's palm strike, three divine powers blasted into Ye Han's body.

In that instant, Ye Han's divine power shattered due to the shock of the three divine forces, leaving less than ten percent of his divine power in his Qi Sea, desperately suppressed.

The three divine forces wreaked havoc in Ye Han's meridians, assaulting his body with pain so intense it left him unable to struggle, nearly fainting on the spot.

Ye Han lay on the ground, swallowing the blood rising in his throat, hastily using the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique to recover his divine power, his fierce gaze fixed on Lu Yunxiao.

Unrestrained, lawless, holding the power of life and death, all in a single thought!

Is this a disciple of the Cycle Academy?

"Stop!"

Just as Lu Yunxiao took another step, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Han's gaze immediately shifted, and he saw a girl in a red long dress, about his age, running towards him furiously.

Seeing Lu Yunxiao's fierce face, she involuntarily shrank her neck, her voice weakening: "How... how can you hit someone?"

"Don't you dare touch him!"

The girl in red, with bright eyes and white teeth, her skin fairer than snow, spread her arms to protect Ye Han, trying hard to maintain eye contact with Lu Yunxiao.

Watching this scene, Ye Han's heart trembled.

"Hit someone? I'm going to cripple him!" Lu Yunxiao's face twisted with malice, looking at the girl in red as if she were an idiot: "Get lost!"

This girl in red was merely at the eighth level of the Gathering Core Realm!

Such an ant in the Gathering Core Realm, even weaker than Ye Han, dares to obstruct Lu Yunxiao's actions?

Wasn't this seeking death?

"I won't!"

The girl's voice was resolute, her expression determined.

Lu Yunxiao's palm struck out, his face fierce: "Then die with this brat!"@@novelbin@@

"Get out of the way."

Ye Han, summoning strength from nowhere, suddenly rolled over, grabbed the girl's arm, and pulled her behind him, forcibly shielding her.

Humans aren't heartless; Ye Han couldn't bear to see such a kind girl die because of him.

Picked up by the Ye Family, his adoptive father and Ye Zhixuan had feigned affection for years, only to ultimately cripple him. No matter the past pain, his heart was still warm.

Boom!!!

Lu Yunxiao's palm strike was merciless, a true killing blow.

Life and death hung in the balance!

In that fraction of a second, Ye Han suddenly became calm, his merciless eyes focusing on the approaching palm.

His thoughts, his consciousness, reached an unprecedented state of clarity, with everything in the world seeming to vanish, leaving only that raging palm in Ye Han's eyes.

Buzz...

The suppressed divine power deep within Ye Han's Qi Sea could finally be mobilized.

He pushed the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique to its limits, tapping into the last bit of divine power to connect with the Nine Realms Dragon-Sealing Tower within him.

Under immense pressure, Ye Han forcibly opened the Dragon-Sealing Tower, releasing a drop of the purest Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Qi.

Yes, just one drop, which instantly merged into Ye Han's limbs and bones.

This single drop was the essence of Dragon Qi, compressed and condensed into a liquid state.

Ye Han's injuries began to heal rapidly, his divine power replenished and transformed continuously.

Even his arm bones crackled, undergoing a split and recombination, a fundamental transformation in an instant.

With a loud bang, Ye Han was blown away by a gust of air, landing in the protective embrace of the girl.

But something incredible happened.

Lu Yunxiao watched in disbelief; his palm strike had not actually reached Ye Han but was dissolved in mid-air by an invisible wall, with a powerful rebounding force sending him flying a hundred meters away, lying on the ground with blood spurting uncontrollably.

"So even an ordinary disciple of the Cycle Academy dares to strike at the daughter of Chu Tianxin."

"Chu Tianxin!"

Lu Yunxiao stared at the middle-aged man who had appeared, his voice trembling.

Ye Han also noticed the man claiming to be Chu Tianxin, a towering figure with piercing eyes and a commanding presence, exuding an aura of unspoken authority.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Master Chu, I was blind, I deserve to die, I... I had no intention of hurting anyone, please forgive me..."

Thud!!!

In the next instant, Lu Yunxiao actually knelt down.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong had become instinctual; he was terrified to the extreme, having provoked such a figure.

Chu Tianxin, one of the vice principals of the Incinerate Moon Academy in the Primordial Void Domain, a true overlord who had dominated for years, was not someone a minor figure like Lu Yunxiao could afford to offend.

Based on what had just happened, even if Chu Tianxin killed Lu Yunxiao on the spot, the Cycle Academy could not hold him accountable.

Seeing Lu Yunxiao kneel, countless gazes converged, but he didn't care about them; he just wanted to leave alive today.

Fortunately, Chu Tianxin glanced at his daughter, who was unharmed, and then at Lu Yunxiao: "For the sake of the Cycle Academy, I'll spare your life today."

"Thank you, senior, for your mercy!"

Lu Yunxiao was sincerely terrified, scrambling away.

"Are you alright?"

Next to Ye Han, the girl in red blinked, her eyes like pools of clear water.

"Thank you, I'm fine!"

Ye Han looked at her exquisite, untainted face and replied softly.

"That's good to hear..."

Only then did the girl seem to realize that Ye Han was still in her arms, her voice suddenly as soft as a mosquito, her cheeks flushing with a hint of red.

"Young man, not bad!"

Chu Tianxin approached the two, his aura slightly retracted, calmly observing Ye Han.

"Thank you, senior, for your intervention. I, Ye Han, will be sure to repay this debt!" Ye Han struggled to his feet and bowed to Chu Tianxin.

"No need for that, I was also saving this girl." Chu Tianxin now seemed more approachable.

Chu Tianxin clearly had a favorable impression of Ye Han, who had stood up to protect the girl in red at a critical moment. Otherwise, on any ordinary day, given Chu Tianxin's status, a minor figure in the Gathering Core Realm like Ye Han wouldn't even be worthy of his attention.

Not far away, a group of figures also approached, all accompanying Chu Tianxin and the girl in red from the Cycle Academy. An elder among them said apologetically: "The disciples of the Cycle Academy are unruly; it's our fault for not disciplining them properly, nearly causing trouble for Master Chu. We will ensure that Lu Yunxiao is punished according to the academy's rules."

"It's a minor matter!"

Chu Tianxin waved it off casually, clearly not too concerned about it.

He had given the Cycle Academy face; otherwise, even if Lu Yunxiao hadn't touched a hair on the girl in red, the outcome would have been obvious.

"We'll be leaving now, and we'll talk another time!" Chu Tianxin then said.

"Alright!"

The people from the Cycle Academy all nodded.

"What's your name?"

At that moment, Ye Han turned to the girl in red, standing quietly to the side, slightly bowing her head.
