Chapter 17: Repelling A Martial Master Realm Expert

Not only Mo Canglan, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect, was bewildered, but the others were equally astonished.

"What's going on? The number one talent in Liang Province had his arm severed?"

"This shouldn't be! Yang Tiangui possesses many treasures. In theory, no one should be his match within the ruins, right?"

"Could it be that he was injured by a demonic beast? But how could a demonic beast create such a clean wound?"

Various voices filled with confusion and perplexity rang out.

The powerful expert in the Martial Master Realm who had escorted Yang Tiangui stood not far from Mo Canglan. Upon witnessing this scene, he quickly flew over and brought Yang Tiangui in front of Mo Canglan.

"Tiangui, what happened to you?!" Mo Canglan's voice was low.

"I I've been ambushed!" Yang Tiangui said with bitterness and anger.

"Ambushed? Explain the situation in detail!"

"It's like this. Based on the map clues left by my senior brother from the last time we entered the ruins, I went straight to the Extreme Yang Valley to harvest the Purple Yang Flowers that hadn't fully matured three years ago. However, unexpectedly, I was ambushed by a couple, who took advantage of my inattention and severed one of my arms!"

Sensing the gaze of many people, Yang Tiangui raised his voice, "If it weren't for the ambush, how could I, Yang Tiangui, the renowned number one talent in Liang Province, lose to anyone else?!"

"So, it was an ambush!"

"Well, Yang Tiangui's strength in the Essence Condensation Realm is unparalleled!"

"But speaking of it, although it was an ambush, that couple must also possess a certain level of strength; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sever Yang Tiangui's arm!"

The people around suddenly realized.

Yang Tiangui breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Naturally, he couldn't admit that it was due to his own inferior skills. Not only would he embarrass himself, but it would also damage the reputation of the Sky Gate Sect.

Even Mo Canglan would probably berate him as a waste!

By slightly modifying his explanation, he could find a plausible excuse for his failure and let Su Zhan and Su Zhaoyue be despised by others.

Two birds with one stone!

"How despicable! Those two vile people dare to plot against disciples of our Sky Gate Sect!" Mo Canglan raged.

Yang Tiangui persisted and exaggeratedly said, "Those two individuals were extremely arrogant, especially that Su Zhan. Despite knowing my identity as a disciple, he still intended to kill me! If it weren't for me consuming a Blood Ignition Pill to stimulate my potential, I'm afraid I would have perished by now! Afterward, despite being seriously injured, I sought opportunities for revenge and searched for other treasures and spiritual herbs within the ruins. I persevered until now before finally coming out of the ruins!"

"You have done well. It's just that you don't understand the treacherous nature of the martial world, falling victim to the schemes of petty individuals," Mo Canglan said in a deep voice.

In truth, he didn't completely believe Yang Tiangui's words either. He knew the character of his disciple quite well, and it was likely that Yang Tiangui had provoked those two individuals first.

Not even giving him a chance to explain? Su Zhan's brow furrowed.

As the cultivation realm advanced, the disparities grew larger. While he could kill a Essence Condensation Realm opponent with his Qi Sea Realm cultivation, it didn't mean he could challenge a Martial Master Realm opponent with his Essence Condensation Realm cultivation.

Although the elder seemed to be only in the early stage of the Martial Master Realm, Su Zhan couldn't afford to be careless!

True qi circulated as Su Zhan thrust out his sword.

This sword contained the pinnacle of his Swift Wind Steps, Diamond Body Sutra, and Cold Sword Technique, powered by the true essence of the Cold Jade Art.

Additionally, after his transformation into a Divine Body, although his true essence attribute still temporarily remained icy from the Cold Jade Art, it carried a domineering aura of the Great Sun, greatly increasing its power.

"How is this possible!" After Su Zhan made his sword strike, the elder in the Martial Master Realm immediately sensed the immense strength behind it. His face changed, and he instinctively tried to dodge.

But it was already too late.

That one sword directly shattered the true qi palm print and the sword qi continued forward, sending the elder flying!

"Pu!" After being thrown back more than ten meters, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with astonishment as he looked at Su Zhan.

Why was the sword technique of a mid-stage Essence Condensation Realm so powerful?!

Not only him, but everyone around was also shocked by this.

Mo Canglan, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect, had a glimmer in his eyes as he thought of a certain possibility. He extended a hand and pressed it into the void towards Su Zhan.

Immediately, a pressure several times stronger than that of the previous elder appeared above Su Zhan.

The imposing aura of a Martial Master Realm expert!

Under that pressure, Su Zhan didn't hesitate and directly chose to activate his Great Sun Divine Body.

Golden lights appeared from his body, and a faint image of a great sun appeared behind him. Su Zhan swung his sword upwards, and the pressure instantly dissipated.

"It's really you!" Mo Canglan's eyes brightened, speaking with some pleasant surprise.

"Sect Master, this person not only ambushed and attacked our disciples but also injured the elder. Please, Sect Master, take action and kill him immediately!"

Yang Tiangui also didn't expect Su Zhan to have become so much stronger. At this moment, he was even more eager to kill Su Zhan and quickly spoke up.

"Shut up!"

A reprimanding voice exploded in his ears, and Yang Tiangui was startled, looking at Mo Canglan with some confusion.

However, soon, the confusion on his face turned into bewilderment.

They saw that Mo Canglan, the Sect Master of the Sky Gate Sect, wore a benevolent smile on his face, showing no hostility. He walked to the front of Su Zhan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Young Friend Su, to be that peerless genius! It seems this was all a misunderstanding!

"Young Friend Su, our Sky Gate Sect is the number one sect in Liang Province. If you're willing to join the Sky Gate Sect, I can take you as my exclusive direct disciple. The best cultivation techniques, the finest elixirs, and the most beautiful maidens of the sect will all be yours alone!"
