“Star Luan Gate?”
Tuoba Ye finally gave Gu Qianyin a proper look, frowning as if recalling something. “So it’s you. Last time I saw you, you were just a little kid who couldn’t even walk.”
“It’s me.”
Gu Qianyin felt a surge of hope. From Tuoba Ye’s tone, it seemed she had a chance to persuade him.
But in the next moment, Tuoba Ye’s cold laughter poured cold water over her hopes. “On account of your father? Hah, what does your father Gu Santong’s face mean to me?”
Tuoba Ye’s gaze was arrogant and disdainful. No matter how powerful the Star Luan Gate was, it was only the second largest sect within a thousand miles, while the Iron Armor Gate was the first!
“Elder Tuoba!”
Gu Qianyin was anxious. “Terra Su is my savior. If you kill him, I guarantee the Star Luan Gate won’t let this go!”
“Hmph!”
Tuoba Ye responded coldly, “If you want me to kill him, he better weigh whether he has the qualifications!”
“What do you mean?”
Gu Qianyin frowned.
“Zhang Yan!”
Instead of answering Gu Qianyin, Tuoba Ye called out to the crowd.
At his call, a young man with red hair strode out from the crowd.
“This is my personal disciple, Zhang Yan.”
Tuoba Ye sneered, “Terra Su, as the Grand Elder of the Iron Armor Gate, it’s beneath me to dirty my hands killing a rat like you.”
“How about this, you and Zhang Yan have a fair fight. If he loses, I’ll leave and pretend today’s incident never happened.”
“But if you lose, I’ll make sure everyone in South Jiang Manor accompanies you in death.”
As he spoke, Zhang Yan had already walked up to Terra Su.
He was extremely muscular, and his brows exuded an air of arrogance.
Judging by the pressure of his cultivation level, he was clearly at the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level!
“My god, so young and already at the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level. He’s a genius!”
“But Tuoba Ye is letting Zhang Yan fight Terra Su. Doesn’t he know Terra Su killed the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level Green Fiend and Red Fiend?”
“If Tuoba Ye arranged this, he must be confident. We don’t need to worry for him.”
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
Tuoba Ye chuckled, “Zhang Yan, if you can kill Terra Su today, it will prove you’re worthy of inheriting my legacy. I’ll teach you all my life’s skills.”
“Yes, Master!”
Zhang Yan’s eyes gleamed with excitement, his battle intent surging.
“It’s Zhang Yan!”
Gu Qianyin’s face changed slightly. She hurriedly used the Sound Condensation Technique to transmit her voice to Terra Su.
“Terra Su, don’t fight him. Zhang Yan is far stronger than the average Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level.”
“You know him?”
Terra Su asked.
“Zhang Yan is Tuoba Ye’s most prized disciple, the top genius of the Iron Armor Gate, and the number one talent within a thousand miles. He has a unique physique, stronger than most Condensing Origin Realm seventh-levels, and even some Condensing Origin Realm eighth-levels have lost to him.”
Gu Qianyin’s face was grave.
“So you’re Terra Su?”
Zhang Yan looked at Terra Su with disdain, his eyes full of arrogance. “Dying at my hands is your good fortune.”
“Zhang Yan, right?”
Terra Su glanced at Zhang Yan and then smiled faintly. “Let me give you a piece of advice: don’t play with fire. You might get burned.”
“How did you know?”
Zhang Yan’s face changed slightly. Indeed, he excelled in fire attributes, with a natural affinity for fire. His cultivation of fire-based techniques and martial skills was exceptionally effective. This was his source of pride and arrogance, yet Terra Su had seen through it?
Terra Su sneered. With his keen eyes, he easily saw through Zhang Yan’s essence.
This guy was just a Fire Spirit Body, a very pure fire attribute physique. Among ordinary martial practitioners, it was a rare and powerful physique, making cultivation of fire-based techniques and martial skills much more effective.
However, compared to Gu Qianxue’s Innate Fire Spirit Body, it was far inferior. The difference between “innate” and not was vast.
Moreover, Zhang Yan’s misfortune was encountering Terra Su, which turned his advantage into a disadvantage. Terra Su’s Alchemy Flame contained the power of Celestial Fire, making any fire attribute power a joke in comparison.
Not to mention, as the Alchemy Emperor, Terra Su was the master of playing with fire.
“Master!”
The excited voice of little Celestial Fire suddenly echoed in Terra Su’s mind. “I sense very pure fire attribute energy. If I can devour this person, my power will definitely advance further!”
“Got it.”
Terra Su responded to little Celestial Fire in his mind.
Then, he looked at Zhang Yan, a slight smile on his lips. “One more piece of advice: if you’re smart, go home now. Dying here won’t be good.”
“How dare you speak to me like that! Not even ten lives would be enough for you!”
Zhang Yan roared, his anger reaching its peak. He struck at Terra Su with a palm full of scorching heat!
Terra Su snorted coldly, releasing his Condensing Origin Realm fifth-level cultivation!
“This kid has advanced to the Condensing Origin Realm fifth-level?”
Not far away, Joshua Wang’s pupils contracted sharply. What kind of monster was Terra Su? How could he advance so quickly, like riding a rocket?
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.
“Kid, so what if you’re at the Condensing Origin Realm fifth-level? You can’t compare to me. Die!”
Zhang Yan shouted, his palm growing even hotter. The extremely pure fire attribute True Essence greatly exceeded that of ordinary people, making this palm several times more powerful than a typical Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level practitioner.
Such a strike would force even a Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level practitioner to retreat, let alone a fifth-level one.
Zhang Yan’s lips curled into an arrogant smile. Terra Su dared to speak to him like that; he was asking for death. He didn’t mind sending Terra Su on his way.
This palm strike would surely kill Terra Su on the spot.
But in the next moment, Zhang Yan’s smile froze.
Terra Su extended his hand, lightly slapping towards Zhang Yan’s palm.
With that light slap, all the scorching fire attribute True Essence in Zhang Yan’s palm was absorbed by Terra Su.
“What?”
Zhang Yan was shocked. He had been confident that this palm would kill Terra Su, but Terra Su had easily neutralized it somehow.
Without the fire attribute True Essence, Zhang Yan’s palm strike lost much of its power and was easily caught by Terra Su.
“Is this the strength of the so-called number one genius within a thousand miles? Not impressive at all.”
Terra Su laughed heartily.
