After seizing the Human Emperor's lineage, this clan cruelly murdered all the descendants of the Taiyin Human Emperor. The process of establishing their religion was filled with betrayal and bloodshed, and was very dishonorable.

In his mind, the hatred level of the Taiyin Divine Sect's leader was almost on par with that of the Golden Crow Clan and the Underworld, and both were trending towards becoming the top three.

"However, it seems my hatred for the Taiyin Cult is about to surge to number one for now..."

Li Wangxian's eyes were deep and mysterious. He took a step forward, and the profound meaning of the void flowed around him. In the blink of an eye, he stood on the great arena.

On the arena, the black-clad youth from the Taiyin Divine Sect frowned upon seeing Li Wangxian and rebuked him, "It's just a friendly spar, yet you've injured so many fellow practitioners so severely. Aren't you being far too ruthless?"

Li Wangxian was taken aback. Good heavens, the Taiyin Divine Sect said I was cruel?

Then who is that person next to you who even got frostbite from Eason Chan?

"What are you saying?" Li Wangxian asked, his expression puzzled. He doubted that he had heard correctly and stared at the disciple of the Taiyin Divine Sect.

In fact, not only did he feel like he had misheard, but all the cultivators below the stage who had paid attention to his actions were also dumbfounded and greatly shocked.

"Is Duanmu Jie really that strong? How dare he reprimand this monstrous young man like that?"

Some cultivators were puzzled, wondering if they didn't know enough about Duanmu Jie, otherwise why would he dare to speak like that?

"He is the cousin of Duanmu Ming, the Divine Son of Taiyin. I heard that he is quite talented. Could it be that he is no less talented than his brother? Two outstanding talents from the same family?" A cultivator who knew a little about this person speculated at this moment.

"That's very possible!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they became excited. If it were true, it would be a fierce battle!

On stage

Li Wangxian, unaware of the speculations made by the crowd below, was quite curious. In his perception, the person opposite him was clearly a weakling, so how dare he be so arrogant?

Who gave him the courage? Fish Leong?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Duanmu Jie was genuinely angry, but remembering how easily this guy had defeated Ling'er earlier, seemingly indicating considerable strength, he suppressed his anger and said...

"If you honestly apologize to Miss Ling'er and all the fellow cultivators, then this matter can be considered over."

"Oh, so it's a femme fatale!" Li Wangxian suddenly realized that this Ling'er's mother must be the woman who used the Great Dao Treasure Bottle to imprint herself, right?

He said that although he injured many people, he held back!

For cultivators, broken bones and torn tendons, coughing up large amounts of blood may seem frightening, but in fact, they will recover completely after a period of rest, without even damaging their vital energy. If people have to stand up for them for this, what kind of cultivation is this? They should just go home and grow sweet potatoes!

"You're crazy in love! But who do you think you are, expecting me to apologize?"

Once he realized what was happening, Li Wangxian's face darkened. Damn it, he was being made to look like the villain.

"You're asking for it. Do you know what you're saying?"

Upon hearing Li Wangxian's impolite words, Duanmu Jie's face darkened, and he became extremely angry. He had no intention of waiting for a reply; at this moment, only blood could wash away his rage.

"You shameless wretch, go to hell!"

A Taiyin Flag appeared in Duanmu Jie's hand. He shook it violently, and a large patch of extremely Yin and cold black mist rushed out, engulfing the entire arena. This was the sacred power of Taiyin, which had the power to freeze all things.

As soon as he charged out, everyone below the arena felt a chilling coldness spreading through them, which was terrifying.

It should be noted that the arena is protected by array patterns, yet it still exudes a chill easily, which shows just how powerful the Taiyin Holy Power is.

Taiyin, inheriting the ultimate Yin power from the beginning of creation, possesses boundless killing intent. If one cultivates to a high level and refines the innate Taiyin killing intent, nothing can withstand its cuts. It has unpredictable offensive power and can easily kill holy lords and powerful beings.

Of course, Duanmu Jie is still far from reaching that level, but the sheer amount of Taiyin Holy Power surging forth is terrifying, causing the faces of everyone below the stage to change drastically and shiver with fear.

"boom"

Suddenly, a black ice spear shot through the air, carrying endless black mist and condensing a massive amount of Taiyin Holy Power. It pierced towards Li Wangxian's chest. This was an extremely powerful killing move. The massive amount of Taiyin Qi solidified into a substance, piercing through heaven and earth, and was almost indestructible. If it hit, killing a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm would be effortless.

Duanmu Jie launched an attack. The Yin energy was like a curtain hanging from the sky, vast and unrestrained, with countless ice spears appearing and disappearing within it, making people tremble with fear.

"Humph"

Li Wangxian let out a cold snort, and a burst of blood energy erupted from his body like a savage dragon, piercing through the entire sky. The terrifying fluctuations shocked the world. Then, he threw a punch, shattering the ice spear into dozens or even hundreds of pieces, turning them into a sky full of crystals. His blood energy even burned and melted the Taiyin Qi in the void like a bronze furnace refining the world.

"buzz"

Duanmu Jie raised the Taiyin Banner again. The banner was as black as ink, fluttering and waving, releasing almost endless Taiyin holy power that covered the entire arena. If it weren't for the array patterns blocking it, it would have definitely spread and submerged the entire world. Its power was too terrifying, and everyone below the stage changed color, unable to believe their eyes, and their hearts were filled with fear.

"How terrifying! Duanmu Jie's mastery of the Taiyin True Scripture is no less than Duanmu Ming's!"

"Click! Click! Click!"

The black Yin mist surged and intertwined, forming an extremely terrifying change. Black ice spears appeared everywhere, filling every inch of space, like thousands of arrows flying towards a single point, bombarding and killing. It can be said that this is a truly deadly technique.

A single ice spear condensed from the power of Yin can easily reverse the flow of immortality and kill cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Now, with thousands upon thousands of Yin spears moving in unison, causing chaos and upheaval, they can easily suppress and kill entire groups of cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The endless Taiyin spears filled everyone with dread.

"Am I dreaming? Even Duanmu Ming, the Taiyin Divine Child, couldn't have such power when he was at the Four Extremes Realm!"

"Yes, such a large amount of Yin Holy Power is simply beyond reason. Could it be that Duanmu Jie possesses the Yin Body?"

Below the stage, everyone's voices trembled as they spoke, trembling with fear at Duanmu Jie's imposing presence, almost as if they were dreaming.

"Huh? Could I have really seen wrong? How come I've never heard of him before, given how terrifying he is?"

Li Wangxian frowned. Even he felt a sense of threat from this aura, which was incredible. He was a genuine eighth-level cultivator, and it was already something to be proud of if a cultivator of the same level could withstand three or two moves from him. For him to take this seriously, the cultivator would need to be at least a seventh-level cultivator.

“No, there’s something strange about his Taiyin Banner. The Taiyin Holy Power doesn’t seem to be emanating from Duanmu Jie’s body.” Li Wangxian frowned, noticing something amiss, but he wasn’t entirely sure.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try!"

Faced with the endless stream of Taiyin spears, Li Wangxian became unusually serious and summoned the Strange Phenomenon of Mending the Sky and Bathing in the Sun. Behind him, an incomparably majestic deity holding the sun and moon appeared.

"boom"

The divine being's face was blurred and unclear, but when he made a move, it was earth-shattering and his power suppressed the nine heavens. He raised his hand and threw out a divine sun, which emitted ten thousand golden divine flames. It was the true fire of the sun surging and pressing down from the sky, colliding with the black ice spear.

A strange sound rang out in the air as the moon and sun collided, annihilating a large area of ​​space and turning it into a desolate wasteland. The sound crashed and ravaged the arena, shattering large sections of the foundation. In an instant, the arena became pitted and uneven, and the force of the collapsing space surged down towards the area below the arena, a terrifying sight.

"boom!"

Divine light emanated from all around the arena, and dense array patterns lit up on it, forming a light barrier that blocked the power of the collapsing void, allowing everyone below the arena to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bang!"

On the stage, Duanmu Jie, who had just been incredibly brave and possessed astonishing magical skills, suddenly spat out blood and flew into the air, with cracking sounds of bones breaking and bursting out of his body.

It wasn't Li Wangxian who did it, but the power of the collision between the Yin and Yang was too terrifying. Not only did it collapse the void, but it also almost evolved into chaotic energy to destroy everything. If it weren't for the extraordinary Yin Flag in his hand, which spontaneously released streams of Yin holy power to freeze part of the void and protect Duanmu Jie, he would have been blasted into ashes long ago.

Meanwhile, behind Li Wangxian, the divine being trembled slightly and easily neutralized the power that was shattering the void by unleashing a burst of Yin and Yang energies. At this moment, looking at Duanmu Jie's miserable state, he finally understood why this guy could contend with him for a while.

"Tch, so it turns out that the flag is infused with the Yin energy refined by a master above the Dragon Transformation level. I thought I had misjudged it!"

Chapter 52 The Deposed Duanmu Jie

Upon seeing Duanmu Jie's miserable state, Li Wangxian immediately understood why Duanmu Jie had been able to hold his own against him.

It wasn't that he was mistaken; rather, a master who had refined the Taiyin True Scripture had infused the flag with Taiyin energy. Duanmu Jie himself also cultivated the Taiyin True Scripture, which originated from the same source, so their fluctuations were consistent. Furthermore, the Taiyin Flag was his natal weapon, which allowed him to control the terrifying Taiyin Holy Power contained within it, thus deceiving everyone.

"This Taiyin Sacred Power has almost surpassed the Dragon Transformation Realm and broken into the Immortal Platform Realm. It can easily kill groups of Dragon Transformation cultivators. No wonder you are so weak, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"

Li Wangxian's face showed disdain, filled with contempt for his behavior.

External forces are always external forces. Although Duanmu Jie almost rivaled the Eight Forbidden Ones with this holy power, it is not his power after all. He cannot reach this level on his own. When he encounters an opponent who can truly contend with him, he cannot even withstand the aftershocks of the duel. It was only by luck that he was not killed.

Below the stage, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances after hearing Li Wangxian's words, realizing why the duel had ended so abruptly.

"This……"

Many people in the audience blushed as they recalled how they had previously praised Duanmu Jie.

"Wow, no wonder there are rumors that Duanmu Jie is incredibly talented, no less than the Taiyin Divine Child! So he's that 'powerful'? I could do that too!"

Some people who had never praised Duanmu Jie before now looked amused and teased those who were arguing, making them blush even more.

"Yes, so 'powerful'! The Taiyin Divine Sect is indeed full of talented people! No wonder they were able to easily win ten battles, making us afraid to confront them. They even wanted to break through the arena and enter the inner city to feast with the Holy Sons."

Someone echoed, their voice loud and clear, their words sarcastic and strange. The most outrageous thing was that they even dared to target the Taiyin Divine Sect, which drew everyone's attention. Who was it that dared to be so bold?

"Hmm, that's Xu Peng, an outstanding successor of the Human King's Palace. He was recently defeated by Duanmu Jie!"

After someone recognized the speaker, everyone was relieved. No wonder he dared to even curse the Taiyin Divine Sect. He must have a reason and confidence!

On the stage, Li Wangxian pointed his finger and snatched the jet-black Taiyin Flag from the helpless Duanmu Jie, carefully sensing the Taiyin Holy Power within it.

"Hmm, the divine power fluctuations are still at the Dragon Transformation Realm, but if a cultivator at the Immortal Platform Realm were hit, they would be frozen and cracked. Is this the holy power that Duanmu Ming injected into you?"

He asked Duanmu Jie with some curiosity, "Only Duanmu Ming in the Taiyin Divine Sect could threaten the experts of Sendai when they were transforming into dragons."

"You, give me back the Taiyin Flag..."

At this point, Duanmu Jie had lost count of how many bones and tendons he had broken. The various secret realms within his body were also trembling violently. His divine power was surging wildly around him, coiled up on the arena, and he would cough up a mouthful of blood every now and then. He was powerless to stop Li Wangxian from taking away the Taiyin Flag.

His face was ashen. He was already severely injured by the collapse of the void, and the sarcastic comments from the crowd below the stage were like sharp knives stabbing at his heart, making him feel ashamed. Now that his enemy had taken away his "Bearing the Dao" banner, he was filled with hatred and anger.

"You used external force in a fair fight in the ring, so what should I do with you?"

Li Wangxian received no answer, but he was not disappointed. He had an invincible belief that as long as his cultivation level increased, no one in the same realm would be his match. Therefore, he had no need to investigate the current cultivation level and combat power of Taiyin Divine Child Duanmu Ming.

At this moment, he was sizing up Duanmu Jie, pondering how to deal with him.

"What do you want to do? My cousin Duanmu Ming is currently in the inner city."

When Duanmu Jie met Li Wangxian's gaze, which was like that of someone looking at a lamb to the slaughter, he was startled. For the first time, he felt a pang of regret. He shouldn't have forcibly used all the Taiyin Holy Power that his cousin in the flag had injected into him, which had led to his current predicament.

But the most important thing now is to save his life, so he quickly invoked the name of the Taiyin Divine Child, hoping to intimidate his opponent.

"Duanmu Ming? He can't protect you!" Li Wangxian scoffed at this. Let alone just mentioning his name, even if Duanmu Ming himself came, he would want to kill him!

At this moment, he raised his finger, and divine power flickered on it, about to strike and kill his opponent.

"Hmm, you're not going to stop me? Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Seeing out of the corner of his eye that the unfathomable elder of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty had no intention of intervening, Li Wangxian didn't hesitate. He unleashed divine power from his palm, transforming it into a celestial sword that slashed down.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing resounded, and at the critical moment, a halberd sliced ​​through the void and blocked Li Wangxian's sure-kill attack.

"One should be lenient when one can, young friend, why must you kill him!" In the distance, the top expert of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty withdrew his Void Halberd. At this moment, the old man felt a little bitter. Are the young people of this generation so hot-tempered?

Even if being decisive and ruthless is not wrong, couldn't you have chosen a secluded place to strike first? Was it necessary to take real action in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone?

"What a fool!" This supreme expert was somewhat disappointed in Li Wangxian. He admired Li Wangxian's talent and combat prowess, but at this moment he felt that this young man was indeed a greenhorn who was too reckless. He had offended the Taiyin Divine Sect so badly that his future path would be filled with many obstacles.

"This scoundrel used external forces to injure and kill people in the arena. Now I am killing him to uphold justice. Why are you stopping me, senior?"

Upon noticing the intervention of a powerful figure, Li Wangxian remained unfazed. He had never taken Duanmu Jie seriously, and whether he killed him or not was irrelevant; he was merely using this opportunity to test the attitude of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

“He must not be killed! Although he has made a mistake, he does not deserve to die!” Yi Daoming, a top expert of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, shook his head.
