Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

Ascending to the Divine Power Realm finally gave Ye Han absolute confidence.

The old Ye Han was someone anyone could trample on—whether they could stomp him to death was another matter.

But now, Ye Han was about to become an Outer Sect disciple through the assessment.

Heaven and earth can change in an instant!

Becoming an Outer Sect disciple meant everything was different. He would be valued by the Academy, and even if Ye Zhixuan had Luo Tianzheng or even that mysterious Child of Reincarnation behind her, they couldn't block Ye Han's path.

It's time to return!

With a single leap, Ye Han covered five meters, his figure sprinting wildly, soon vanishing at the edge of the jungle.

Along the way, Ye Han saw that the demon tide had receded, leaving countless Monster Beast and demon corpses.

Unfortunately, those precious beast cores and demon cores had been taken by others—there was nothing cheap left for him to pick up.

When he came, riding the lion-blood treasure horses with Nie Yuan and others took half a day.

But now, leaving Demon Ridge, supported by robust strength, Ye Han measured the earth on foot, and in just an hour, he had returned to Cycle Academy.

Divine Power Peak!

"I wonder if Nie Yuan and those three guys have returned?"

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

Ye Han arrived in front of his small courtyard and looked around.

Nie Yuan and the others had arrived at the Academy days before him and were much more familiar with it. Ye Han wanted to ask how to participate in the Outer Sect disciple assessment.

"Hm? What's that?"

Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, Ye Han saw a large group of disciples gathered together, seemingly in a heated discussion.

"Poor guy, he provoked Lu Yunxiao."

"I heard they were pressuring them for the whereabouts of a new disciple, seems to be called Han? Ye Han?"

"It's just bad luck. Those Outer Sect disciples are untouchable... we wouldn't dare to provoke them..."

At that moment, Ye Han overheard a few menial disciples passing by.

Lu Yunxiao?

Ye Han immediately approached these disciples: "What are you talking about? Who provoked Lu Yunxiao?"

"Who are you?"

The few menial disciples looked at Ye Han in unison.

"New disciple, Ye Han!" Ye Han declared.

"You... you're Ye Han?"

The faces of the menial disciples changed dramatically, one of them said: "You dare to come back? Ye Han, I kindly advise you to run, Lu Yunxiao is looking for you."

Another one kindly reminded: "We can't afford to provoke Outer Sect disciples. People like Lu Yunxiao can find any excuse to kill us."

"I understand, thanks!"

After speaking, Ye Han walked towards the crowd under the astonished gazes of these disciples.

"Speak!"

"Where is Ye Han? You won't talk?"

Approaching the front, Ye Han immediately heard a familiar voice: Lu Yunxiao.

Slap!!!

A loud slap rang out, followed by the painful groans of Nie Yuan, He Qingfeng, and Zhao Yijian.

"If you won't speak, then continue to suffer!"

"Everyone listen well, from now on, anyone who colludes with Ye Han will end up like these three," a fierce voice emanated from the crowd.

Ye Han arrived at the front and immediately saw a horrific scene.

Nie Yuan, Zhao Yijian, and He Qingfeng were lying on the ground, faces swollen, backs full of whip marks, especially Zhao Yijian, who was drenched in blood, looking extremely miserable.

A swordsman's pride, Zhao Yijian, although only in the Gathering Core Realm, remained unyielding. Usually silent, he was actually of a strong character, probably suffering the most.

Zhao Yijian clenched his teeth, enduring the pain, and then sneered: "You're nothing but someone else's dog, a lapdog."

"You're worse than pigs and dogs, what did you say?" Lu Yunxiao's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that aside from Ye Han, there would be someone among these menial disciples who dared to insult him like this.

"You're the one worse than pigs and dogs, Lu Yunxiao, you're not going to end well!"

"Want to force us to reveal Ye Han's whereabouts? No way, if you have the guts, kill us in public. When Ye Han comes back, you're dead!" Zhao Yijian swallowed a mouthful of blood and clenched his fists.

In front of the three, a figure lashed out fiercely with a whip.

"Stop!"

Ye Han's voice thundered like a bolt from the blue.

"Huh?"

Lu Yunxiao abruptly halted and turned around.

"Aren't you looking for me? I'm back now!"

Ye Han's unyielding eyes stared at Lu Yunxiao and he slowly said, "Dare to touch them again, and today I'll make sure you die right here."

"Just you?"

Seeing Ye Han, Lu Yunxiao sneered.

The whip lashed out again, striking with relish at Ye Han.

Ssshh...!

Blood splattered from Zhao Yijian.

But in an instant, he firmly grasped the whip, roaring at Ye Han: "Brother Ye Han, run!"

"Lu Yunxiao, you, die!"

Ye Han suddenly stepped forward, the crowd on both sides quickly parted.

Boom!!!

Ye Han's fist collided with Lu Yunxiao.

At the moment of their clash, a wild and fierce power surged up their arms and violently rushed into Lu Yunxiao's body.

With one exchange, Lu Yunxiao grunted and was blasted back dozens of steps.

In contrast, Ye Han stood proudly in place, his killing intent soaring, unaffected.

"You little bastard, you dare to strike?"

Lu Yunxiao's face twisted with venom, his eyes dark and fierce: "For committing such a heinous crime, no one can save you. Today I will cripple you and then hand you over to the Enforcement Hall for punishment."@@novelbin@@

Though furious and full of killing intent, Lu Yunxiao strangely didn't make a move.

"Really? Punish me?"

Ye Han looked at Lu Yunxiao as if he were looking at a... dead man.

"Ye Han, Li Kai's body has been found!"

"Before you've even officially joined, you've killed a fellow disciple. You cannot escape the death penalty."

Lu Yunxiao's voice boomed like a bell, chilling to the bone, and he sneered: "Don't say his death has nothing to do with you, the Enforcement Hall has found evidence."

Many menial disciples around changed color, their eyes on Ye Han filled with complexity as they stepped back.

Killing a fellow disciple!

That was a death sentence!

Anyone linked with Ye Han was simply courting disaster.

"You're dead, do you know that?" Lu Yunxiao looked at Ye Han coldly.

Then his tone shifted: "However, there's still a way out. Senior sister Yin said, as long as you persuade Mo Qingrou to hand over the Nine Yang Fire Jade, she will take the blame for you."

"Oh? Li Kai's body?" Ye Han suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Yunxiao's gaze was intense, waiting for the moment Ye Han would nod.

"I'm laughing at you being brain-dead."

Ye Han was assertive: "A well-known fact, and you bring it out to threaten me? If that's not brain-dead, what is?"

"What did you say? Well-known?"

Lu Yunxiao was stunned, thinking he was hallucinating. What was Ye Han talking about?

"Yes, I'm laying it all out!"

"Li Kai was killed by my own hands, Ye Han!"

Ye Han's voice was loud and clear, his gaze profound, giving off an unfathomable feeling.

"My first punch burst his inner armor."

"My second punch shattered his bones."

"My third punch exploded his heart."

Ye Han stared at Lu Yunxiao: "Three punches. It took me three punches to completely kill Li Kai, that waste who dared to trouble me, acting as Ye Zhixuan's lapdog, he was destined to die."

"And you, the same!"
