At this critical moment, Terra Su remained exceptionally calm. He had already drawn his Cang Hai Sword, gripping it firmly in his hand. His eyes were fixed intently on Miles Ye's movements, trying to find a flaw in his boxing technique.
Although finding a flaw was difficult, it wasn't impossible. Any martial technique that hadn't reached perfection would inevitably have a flaw.
At this moment, Terra Su relied on his profound martial arts knowledge from his previous life, formed from reading countless martial arts texts, to search for that tiny flaw in his opponent's moves.
"There it is!"
Suddenly, Terra Su's eyes lit up!
The long sword in his hand thrust forward at the same instant!
"One Sword, Eight Waves!"
Terra Su unleashed his strongest single-target killing move, the Waves Stacking Slash!
The sword light pierced through the sky, accurately targeting the only flaw amidst the myriad of fist shadows!
"No!"
Miles Ye's face changed dramatically. Terra Su's sword was aimed directly at his flaw, and he had no way to defend against it!
Pfft!
Terra Su's sword shattered the fist shadows, and the tip of the sword accurately pierced Miles Ye's chest, causing blood to flow immediately.
"How is this possible!" Miles Ye collapsed to the ground in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment. He couldn't believe that as a Condensing Origin Realm level three genius, he had been defeated by someone at level one.
But before Miles Ye could even feel the pain from his chest wound, he was horrified to find Terra Su, exuding a murderous aura, standing before him with his long sword!
A life-and-death agreement!
Miles Ye suddenly realized that this duel was signed under a life-and-death agreement!
"Terra Su, you dare to kill me?"
Miles Ye shouted in disbelief, his usual gentle demeanor completely gone, veins bulging on his forehead.
"If you kill me, the Ye Family won't spare you, and neither will Tianyue Academy!"
However, Terra Su seemed not to hear him. The sword, gleaming with a cold light, unhesitatingly stabbed towards Miles Ye's abdomen.
From a distant high platform, Steven Ye's eyes contracted sharply as he witnessed this scene. His figure leaped from the high building, rushing towards the duel platform in the south of the city.
However, someone was faster than him.
"Stop!"
A figure swiftly approached the duel platform from afar.
This figure was tall and thin, with a cold demeanor—it was Instructor Ouyang from Tianyue Academy!
"Instructor Ouyang!"
A glimmer of hope ignited in Miles Ye's heart!
Although he wasn't familiar with Instructor Ouyang at Tianyue Academy, he was still a student there. As a teacher of Tianyue Academy, Instructor Ouyang would surely not stand by and watch him die at the hands of an outsider.
"Terra Su, the instructor from Tianyue Academy is here, you're dead!" Miles Ye's eyes suddenly showed a sinister gleam. Terra Su dared to kill him; once Instructor Ouyang saved him, he would definitely settle the score with Terra Su!
"Tianyue Academy instructor?"
Terra Su muttered to himself, his tone icy.
Even if it were the king himself, no one could stop him from killing who he wanted to kill!
Pfft!
The tip of Terra Su's sword resolutely pierced Miles Ye's abdomen. As the sword twisted, a sound like a deflating balloon came from Miles Ye's abdomen, his Dantian completely destroyed.
Terra Su didn't kill him but completely ruined his Dantian, making Miles Ye a cripple with no chance of rising in Martial Dao ever again.
In the world of Martial Dao, this was a punishment more cruel than death. A person with a destroyed Dantian, though alive, would suffer more than if they were dead. Especially for someone who was once a genius like Miles Ye, this torment would last a lifetime.
Just like Terra Su in his previous life, if he hadn't had the great fortune to meet Alchemy Sovereign Qingfeng, he would have spent his life in extreme torment.
The reason Terra Su gave Miles Ye such a punishment wasn't just because Miles Ye had ruthlessly tried to kill him—although the life-and-death agreement was proposed by Olivia Wang, she was merely a follower of Miles Ye. Without his instigation, she wouldn't have suggested such a thing.
But Terra Su had another reason for treating Miles Ye this way: in his previous life, Emma Jiang had admired and trusted her brother Miles Ye so much. When she learned of her engagement to Wang Sheng, she had fled the Jiang Family overnight to seek Miles Ye's help, hoping to escape Clear River City.
However, not only did Miles Ye not help her, but he also had her tied up and sent back to the Jiang Family.
Because he didn't want to cause trouble.
—Even if you had no feelings for her, you had no right to be an accomplice to evil.
Especially since you always acted so noble and righteous, yet at the crucial moment, you betrayed someone who trusted you so deeply.
Therefore, in this life, Terra Su designed this ending for Miles Ye to avenge Emma Jiang's past life.
"Brother Miles Ye!"
Olivia Wang wailed heart-wrenchingly from below the platform. How could this be? She had invited Brother Miles Ye to cut off one of Terra Su's feet and hands, but how did it end up like this?
Looking at Miles Ye lying on the duel platform like a dead dog, was this still the Brother Miles Ye she knew?
"How dare you cripple him!"
Instructor Ouyang finally arrived at the duel platform, his face extremely grim.
As a teacher at Tianyue Academy, he knew all too well that crippling a martial arts genius's Dantian was more cruel than killing them!
Terra Su didn't kill Miles Ye but destroyed his Dantian. This was clearly showing no regard for him as a Tianyue Academy instructor!
"Dare to cripple a member of the Ye Family, you're courting death!"
Steven Ye followed closely behind, his face terrifyingly dark.
Miles Ye was the Ye Family's top genius and Steven Ye's greatest hope as the patriarch. Now, this greatest hope had been destroyed by Terra Su, and Steven Ye wanted nothing more than to tear Terra Su apart!
"Patriarch Ye, if I remember correctly, I didn't propose the life-and-death agreement. You should go find the real culprit who suggested it." Terra Su shrugged, looking lazy and defiant.
"Brat, don't try to change the subject!" Steven Ye's face was as dark as could be. "Everyone saw you cripple Miles Ye. Who else should I hold accountable?"
"Fine, if you want to hold me accountable, let's do it properly." Terra Su's gaze suddenly sharpened. "The life-and-death agreement, black and white, clearly states that life and death are at one's own risk. Even if one party dies, the other cannot be blamed."
"Not to mention, crippling the Dantian is just an injury, not a death. There's no reason to blame the other party. This is something even a three-year-old understands. Are you, a dignified patriarch, less knowledgeable than a three-year-old?"
These words left Steven Ye speechless.
