Chapter 110: The Shocked Ancient Clan Commander

"To be able to see a genius from Langya Pavilion exchange blows with someone from the Ancient Clan, this trip was worth it!" Among the invited guests, there was no shortage of experts from the Central Plains, and they said this in surprise.

"That's right!" Many people chimed in one after another.

"You go up." Xiao Wu let his head hang and waved his hand powerlessly. He had given up struggling anyway; if he offended people, so be it, as long as no one died.

Before the words had even faded, Ye Shenghan appeared on the battle stage with great interest, looking at the cold-faced, silver-armored brute opposite him.

"Gu Yue!"

"Ye Shenghan!"

"Please enlighten me!" X2

The next instant, both of them vanished from their spots simultaneously, colliding together without any flashy moves.

"Bang—"

The moment the two made contact, the floor beneath their feet turned into powder in an instant. Afterward, each retreated five steps.

"Kid, you're not bad!" Gu Yue revealed a ferocious grin; even among his peers in the Ancient Clan, very few could stand on equal footing with him.

"Continue." Ye Shenghan's reply remained just as indifferent, causing the former to freeze, though he quickly reacted—this guy really was a poker-face!

"Good, continue." Gu Yue was also a martial fanatic and immediately charged forward.

Just while Ye Shenghan and Gu Yue were exchanging blows, many powerhouses were also watching from the sidelines and making evaluations.

"This Ye Shenghan from Langya Pavilion has decent strength; he can actually fight to a draw with this Black Annihilation Army Commander named Gu Yue." A young man with a lightning pattern on his forehead said with great interest, his eyes never leaving the two in combat.

"What, is your hand itching too?" A young man slightly older than him opposite him said with a smile.

"What do you think?" The former rolled his eyes at him in annoyance; the aura on his body indicated that he was also a Six-Star Dou Zun.

And the Lei Clan was famously warlike; how could they not go up and spar if they encountered an opponent?

"Tell me, is Gu Yue a match for that Ye Shenghan?" In a room, several figures in armor gathered together were watching the battle stage intently; they were the other Black Annihilation Army Commanders.

"This match will likely be a draw," one of them said with some regret. The battle between these two was so intense that it was indeed hard to tell who would win, but his heart leaned more toward his own people.

"Xiao Liu, what do you think?" A black-armored man with the most powerful aura asked. As soon as these words were spoken, the various figures turned toward a refined man in plain clothes at the back.

The Sixth Commander, Ling Feng. His strength was only at the Three-Star Dou Zun level, but his eye for detail was sharp, and he was the strategist among the many Commanders, so the others valued his advice highly.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Ling Feng had no intention of keeping them in suspense and said bluntly: "Third Brother is going to lose."

"How is that possible!" The others almost unanimously disagreed.

"Oh, explain in detail." The man from the beginning showed a look of interest and asked curiously.

"Ye Shenghan hasn't used a weapon." Ling Feng only said this one sentence.

Since the beginning of their fight, they had been comparing fist and foot techniques, and Ye Shenghan hadn't even used his sword.

But the others didn't know this, "What if he doesn't use weapons to begin with?"

One had to know that Gu Yue, who was fighting Ye Shenghan, didn't train with weapons. That someone could fight Gu Yue to a standstill in hand-to-hand combat and still have a weapon was simply unbelievable!

"Impossible," Ling Feng shook his head. "If it were someone else, perhaps that might be possible, but this Ye Shenghan definitely uses a weapon."

"Why?"

"Xiao Liu, you seem to know this Ye Shenghan quite well?" the black-armored man said.

"Isn't this something everyone knows?" Hearing this, Ling Feng looked at the former with a very strange expression.

"Is he very famous?" One of them laughed; this Ye Shenghan wasn't exactly a hot commodity, so why should they know him?

Ling Feng shook his head helplessly; he really had nothing to say to this group of arrogant fellows. If they didn't correct their mindset, they would suffer sooner or later. However, he still shared the intelligence on Ye Shenghan.

"Ye Shenghan is proficient in the Dao of the sword, understand?" Ling Feng felt it was better to be clear.

"Dao of the sword?" the black-armored man muttered.

"Yes, and he belongs to the type that is quite reliant on it, very similar to an Ancient Sword Cultivator," Ling Feng nodded in agreement.

Once the four words "Ancient Sword Cultivator" popped out, the others immediately realized the trouble Ye Shenghan posed.

For an Ancient Sword Cultivator, the sword was almost their entire life; if their strength were stripped of the sword, at least more than half would be gone.

In other words, the current Gu Yue was equivalent to less than half of Ye Shenghan!?

"This guy is a bit ruthless!" After a long silence, someone sighed, and no one refuted it.

"I hope the future Black Annihilation Army Commanders can produce such figures," the black-armored man suddenly sighed.

"What?" However, the black-armored man's words shocked everyone; was his evaluation that high?

"Big Brother, isn't that a bit much!" one of them said.

What kind of outstanding talents were the Black Annihilation Army Commanders? How could they be compared to ordinary geniuses? At the very least, the current four major Black Annihilation Army Commanders all had at least Half-Saint strength.

Even if the Black Annihilation Army Commanders were to be replaced after this Adult Ceremony and re-selected from the younger generation, and their strength might drop slightly, they still wouldn't be people of mediocrity.

"What, do you think any of us Commanders are his match?" The black-armored man glanced at him.

"Even Big Brother can't do it?" that person asked somewhat unwillingly.

"I can't," the black-armored man admitted personally, without any pressure. He was only a Seven-Star Dou Zun, and in a one-on-one fight against a powerful sword cultivator, he wasn't certain he could win.

Now there was nothing left to say; if the Commanders weren't his match, it was estimated that only the Black Annihilation Army Commanders could be.

"Good, wonderful!" At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the outside; the battle on the stage had been decided. Ye Shenghan had intentionally revealed a flaw, and his finger was pressed against Gu Yue's throat. He only needed to release his Dou Qi to easily take Gu Yue's life.

"I concede!" Ye Shenghan withdrew his hand, stepped back, and cupped his fists.

"You won." Although Gu Yue's expression was poor, he had to admit defeat in front of the public.

"However, don't get too smug. I am only the Third Commander; there are two more powerful ones above me." Gu Yue said with a grim look, throwing out harsh words.

This made Ye Shenghan's eyes light up, "Is that true?"

"Naturally, it's no lie," Gu Yue said proudly. But behind him, a group of Commanders were cursing him to death; if that Ye Shenghan really defeated all the Black Annihilation Army Commanders by himself, their Ancient Clan would lose all face.

They couldn't exactly let the Commanders who had already reached the Saint Realm fight him; that would be too shameful.

"Alright, guests are guests, don't have such a hot temper. We can't let the guests say that our Ancient Clan doesn't understand etiquette." The black-armored man reacted faster and took a step forward to stop Ye Shenghan, who was about to challenge again.

"Yeah, Big Brother, can't you just settle down?" Xiao Wu, who had been acting like a salted fish on the sidelines, also hurriedly intervened.

From the battle just now, he had also realized that the young people of the Ancient Clan this year were not very capable and could not put any pressure on Ye Shenghan at all; if he were really allowed to sweep through the younger generation of the Ancient Clan, wouldn't that be a slap in the face in public?

There would be no good fruit for them to eat when that time came. After all, they were here as guests, so it was better to be well-behaved.

Finally...

Through the joint efforts of both sides, a disturbance was nipped in the bud.

Many people were simply savoring that brilliant battle, and only a few people saw the implications behind it.
