"Ding!"
"The Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique's perfected attribute—Nine Heavens Net activated! The Nine Heavens Net leaves no place undetected. Each use of the Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique increases attack power by 5%. If the attack is interrupted, the martial arts' power is reduced by 50%!"
……
A barrage of palm strikes rained down on Ye Jian before he could even draw his sword.
The Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique is a palm technique primarily focused on domineering attacks. The palm technique harnesses true energy, forming a vast, inescapable net that completely envelops the enemy, suppressing them to the point of near suffocation.
Of course, this fierce attack is also a double-edged sword. If the opponent breaks through the moves of the Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique, the power of the martial art will be greatly reduced.
However, it is clear that Ye Jian does not yet possess the strength to interrupt Lin Fei's attack.
Baiyun City is renowned for its exceptional swordsmanship, but at this moment, Ye Jian didn't even have a chance to draw his sword. Every time he tried to draw it, Lin Fei's fierce attacks forced him to defend, leaving him no opportunity to draw it. Otherwise, if he had tried to draw his sword, he probably would have been struck by Lin Fei's palm.
The martial arts of Baiyun City are mainly based on sword skills. Ye Jian, who couldn't even draw his sword, was naturally severely suppressed in terms of strength.
"What a powerful palm technique! It's like a net from heaven and earth, making it hard to breathe!"
"That move is the Heavenly Palm? It's the Jade Emperor Sect's Great Nine Heavens Palm! This young disciple has actually mastered this palm technique to such a high level!"
"Such strength, yet he is merely a mere Daoist disciple. The Jade Emperor Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the leading Daoist sect in Southern Tang. It is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden!"
……
Some people recognized Lin Fei's martial arts style, and everyone started discussing it. Ye Jian, although he usually had a bad temper and was arrogant, was no joke when it came to the swordsmanship of Baiyun City.
Ye Jian himself was a master of the Body Tempering Realm, yet he was being suppressed to the point that he couldn't even draw the sword from his waist.
The Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique consists of five forms: Zhongtian Palm, Congtian Palm, Shattering Heaven Palm, Annihilating Heaven Palm, and Chengtian Palm. Each form, with the added bonus of special attributes, increases the martial arts power of this Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique by five percent.
When Lin Fei unleashed his "Heaven-Shattering Palm" towards Ye Jian's head, Ye Jian was already drenched in sweat, and even dodging was extremely difficult for him.
With each move Lin Fei used, the power of his martial arts increased, and the pressure on Ye Jian grew. Eventually, he felt that the countless palm shadows before him were unavoidable, as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.
"Ah!" Ye Jian, covered in sweat, suddenly shouted, channeled all his inner energy, and threw a punch at Lin Fei.
The martial arts of Baiyun City are not known for their fist and foot techniques, but Ye Jian was at a loss for what to do. Lin Fei's Great Nine Heavens Palm was becoming increasingly powerful, and if he didn't fight desperately, he might truly be defeated by Lin Fei's palm in the end.
At this point, Ye Jian had no choice but to abandon the idea of drawing his sword and attack Lin Fei with his fists, hoping to defeat Lin Fei by using the difference in their cultivation levels.
Ye Jian himself was also a master of the Body Tempering Realm, having opened dozens of acupoints throughout his body, making him much stronger than someone in the Qi Accumulation Realm.
In the Body Tempering Realm, with each acupoint opened, physical attributes improve by one point. Ultimately, one becomes impervious to blades and spears, and immune to water and fire.
Unfortunately, Ye Jian encountered Lin Fei. For the past three years, Lin Fei had been constantly tempering his body with extremely cold and hot demonic energy. His physical strength was in no way inferior to that of a Body Tempering Realm expert who had already opened up hundreds of acupoints.
Seeing Ye Jian throw a punch, Lin Fei also put on a smug smile. He neither dodged nor avoided it, and instead met the punch with his own palm.
As their fists collided, a "crack" was heard, and Ye Jian's arm was completely twisted—his entire arm had been broken by the enormous impact.
"Junior brother, stop!" Just then, a shout was heard, and at the same time, a beam of silver true energy shot towards Lin Fei.
The burst of true energy was extremely powerful. Lin Fei didn't want to expose his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill in front of so many people, so he withdrew and retreated. Ming Ci rushed forward and helped Ye Jian up: "Brother Ye, are you alright?"
Ye Jian's arm was broken by Lin Fei, and he was sweating profusely from the pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Is this how your Jade Emperor Sect treats its guests? My uncle and I have come all the way from Baiyun City, and today we have finally learned our lesson!"
The others, though also quite displeased with Ye Jian's rudeness, were, like them, guests invited by the Jade Emperor Sect to observe this sect competition. Seeing Ye Jian's hand broken, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
"Brother Ye, my Jade Emperor Sect will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!" Seeing that the others looked somewhat displeased, Ming Ci gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to Lin Fei: "Junior Brother Mingxin, Brother Ye is an honored guest invited by my Jade Emperor Sect to attend the ceremony, yet you have acted so cruelly. Either you cut off your own arm to apologize to Brother Ye, or I will take you to Xingzhi Temple to await the orders of Uncle Yuanzhen!"
Cutting off one's own arm is a matter of breaking it, not severing it. With a spiritual pill to set the bone, it can heal quickly, just like Ye Jian did. But if Lin Fei were to cut off his own arm, his face would truly be trampled underfoot. If word got out, he would probably become a laughing stock within the sect.
Going to Xingzhi Temple with Mingci is naturally impossible. Not to mention that Lin Fei is currently "serving his sentence." That old Daoist Yuanzhen has always had a grudge against him, and if he falls into his hands now, even a small matter would inevitably become a big mistake.
He had already been in the Demon-Subduing Tower for three years and didn't want to be locked up for several more years for no reason.
Lin Fei's mind raced as he pondered a solution. Suddenly, a cold snort came from upstairs: "What arrogance! When did the people of my Jade Emperor Sect start helping outsiders and turning against their own disciples?"
A disheveled Taoist priest strolled downstairs, and Mingci quickly bowed and said, "Uncle-Master Yuanwu, Junior Brother Mingxin severely injured the guest. If he is not punished, I will have difficulty explaining myself when I return."
"Explain? Explain what? This Demon-Subduing Tower is a forbidden area of the sect, and even disciples are not allowed to enter easily. You trespassed, and I haven't punished you yet, which is already out of consideration for your families!" Yuan Wu glanced at Ye Jian, whose arm was hanging limply, and sneered, "You speak arrogantly and have brought shame upon yourselves. Now get out of here!"
Mingci said urgently, "Uncle-Master Yuanwu, this..."
"I can't hear you, get out!" Yuanwu roared, and the entire Demon-Subduing Pagoda seemed to shake. His roar was quite remarkable; in Buddhism it was called the Lion's Roar, and in Taoism it was called the Spring Thunder of the Tongue.
The gate of the Demon-Subduing Tower suddenly opened with Yuanwu's roar, and the people inside were blown away by the powerful true energy generated by Yuanwu's roar.
The gates of the Demon-Subduing Tower slammed shut, and Lin Fei bowed to Yuan Wu, saying, "Thank you, Uncle-Master, for rescuing me!"
Yuanwu waved his hand and said, "Hmph, the disciples in this sect are getting worse with each generation. They only know how to make friends, not how to show off. How can they become the leaders of the Southern Tang sect? You did well. Don't disappoint me in the sect competition a month from now."
One month later, it will be the time for the Jade Emperor Sect's grand sect competition, which takes place every five years.
