Chapter 73: Substitute Holy Son

Wei Zhen faced Shi Jing Tian's "Startling Swan Sword", but showed no expression, and slapped out a palm.

This palm seemed extremely slow, but the surging True Essence instantly scattered that sword, and the palm's momentum did not diminish, like a torrential sea wave, slapping toward Shi Jing Tian.

"Boom!" Shi Jing Tian could not dodge, was directly slapped into the Grand Hall by this palm, and instantly passed out.

"Too weak!" Wei Zhen shook his head and walked back.

Everyone was stunned by the palm's might on the spot. Especially Wu Gang, his mouth hung open.

Only Han Shan and Ye Liuyun ran over, helped Shi Jing Tian up, and gave him Healing Elixir.

Ye Liuyun examined Shi Jing Tian's injuries. Fortunately Wei Zhen held back; Shi Jing Tian's injuries were not serious, just some fractures, and after a month of rest he would recover.

But he was also amazed by Wei Zhen's strength in his heart.

"That surging True Essence, if we clash head-on, I am definitely no match. I don't know if the Illusion Pupil can trap him."

And the disciple surnamed Song also praised: "Junior Brother, you are indeed capable of slaying a Ninth Layer True Essence cultivator; this strength truly makes Senior Brother blush!"

Han Shan arranged for someone to send Shi Jing Tian back for healing, while Ye Liuyun returned to the team, preparing to participate in the trial.

And upon hearing him say that, these people were even more shocked: "What? Wei Zhen can already slay a Ninth Layer True Essence cultivator? Why are we even here then! Who could be his opponent?"

Everyone thought that, and all turned their gazes toward Ye Liuyun.

Feeling everyone's gazes, the four Holy Sons also looked toward Ye Liuyun. But seeing he was a True Origin Double cultivator, Wei Zhen and the Song surname disciple immediately lost interest.

Another Holy Son stepped forward, pointing at Ye Liuyun and said: "You, come out and fight!"

Ye Liuyun also did not hesitate, immediately stepping out.

That Holy Son was stunned, originally thinking Ye Liuyun wouldn't dare come out! Unexpectedly, this kid really isn't afraid of death!

"Kid, what's your name?" that Holy Son asked.

"Ye Liuyun! May I ask how the Holy Son should be addressed?" Ye Liuyun politely asked.

"My name, you are not worthy to know; if you defeat me, I will naturally tell you!" that Holy Son said contemptuously.

Hearing his words, Han Shan and Yu Wenlong, etc., all felt a jolt in their hearts.

This Ye Liuyun is definitely a ruthless type; with the Holy Son speaking like that, who knows how heavy his strike will be later—don't beat the person to death.

Han Shan had no time to think further, immediately reminded Ye Liuyun: "Ye Liuyun, do not harm the Holy Son's life!"

Ye Liuyun's anger was rising in his heart, but hearing Han Shan's reminder, he also knew he couldn't strike too hard. However, letting him lie in bed for a month or two should be fine, right!

Just now Wei Zhen didn't also beat Shi Jing Tian into that state!

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun nodded.

Wei Zhen and the Song surname Holy Son, hearing that, both looked toward Ye Liuyun. This True Origin Double cultivator kid doesn't seem particularly special! It seems these people all have high hopes for him.

But the Holy Son opposite Ye Liuyun felt displeased in his heart.

"Han Shan, do you mean he still needs to hold back for me?"

Han Shan, hearing that, also knew he had been hasty, his words didn't consider the Holy Son's face, and immediately said: "Not at all. This disciple is new, doesn't know the rules; I was just reminding him, this is a trial, not a fight to the death!"

"Hmph!" that Holy Son snorted discontentedly, no longer paying attention to Han Shan. To Ye Liuyun he said: "Bring out your strongest technique and attack me, let me see what you're really capable of! Otherwise, your fate will definitely be worse than that trash just now!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at him lightly, then said: "Make your move, otherwise you won't have a chance!"

That sentence of his was completely copying what Wei Zhen just said, directly amusing the Song surname Holy Son!

"This kid is quite interesting! I hope he doesn't die too horribly later!"

"You really are courting death!" the Holy Son opposite Ye Liuyun instantly flared with anger, throwing a punch at Ye Liuyun. The surging True Essence of the Sixth Layer Realm burst forth like a heavy hammer, smashing toward Ye Liuyun.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun's whole body surged with True Essence.

"Violet Lightning Annihilation!"

Ye Liuyun, upon making a move, also within the Violet Lightning Frenzy Thunder, channeled his True Essence to the most frenzied move. Instantly thunder roared, purple arcs of electricity crackled everywhere, like a scene of annihilation, pressing toward that Holy Son.

"Boom! Crack!" two sounds rang out: first the collision of two True Essences, then a bucket-thick bolt of violet lightning True Essence struck that Holy Son, directly blasting him away.

After the Holy Son landed, black smoke still rose from his body, and his legs kept twitching.

After Ye Liuyun knocked the Holy Son unconscious, he didn't stop, but sprinted toward that Holy Son again.

"Don't! Ye Liuyun, stop!" Han Shan rushed over urgently.

Wei Zhen and the Song surname disciple stared curiously at Ye Liuyun, obviously not expecting that a True Origin Double cultivator could actually defeat a Sixth Layer Realm cultivator.

As for whether Ye Liuyun intended to kill that Holy Son, they didn't care at all.

Ye Liuyun ran to that Holy Son's side, pulled him up, and infused him with a bit of true qi, causing him to wake up.

"You lost! Now can you tell me your name?" Ye Liuyun stared at him, his Illusion Pupil infused with Soul pressure, actually making that Holy Son tremble all over.

"I'll tell you, don't kill me! My name is..."

"Never mind! You're not worthy for me to know your name!" Ye Liuyun didn't wait for him to finish, directly interrupted him, then let go, throwing that Holy Son to the ground, knocking him unconscious again.

He suddenly lost interest. This Holy Son's performance was truly too weak.

Han Shan ran halfway, then stopped, laughing: "You brat! I thought you were going to throw another punch!"

Ye Liuyun also laughed: "Looking at your nervous appearance, am I really that unreliable?"

Han Shan laughed heartily, ordered: "Come, someone, take the Holy Son for healing." And he himself didn't even bother to help, directly letting others handle it.

Wei Zhen stared at Ye Liuyun for a moment, but still said: "You are not my match!"

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, also not objecting. In a head-on clash he is indeed not Wei Zhen's match. But if comparing techniques, Ye Liuyun doesn't fear him.

But he has already, with his own strength, seized the Holy Son's position. There's no need to fight all the Holy Sons one by one.

And the Song surname Holy Son, looking at Ye Liuyun, smiled: "Not bad! You're Ye Liuyun, right? Truly hiding your talents!"

Next, the Song surname disciple introduced himself: "I am Song Yi. This is my junior brother Wei Zhen, who doesn't speak much but is the strongest among us. This is Li Yuanqing. You also have a senior sister, Li Mengxi. She didn't come this time. You are the youngest, so from now on these people will all be your senior brothers and sisters!"

As for the fallen Holy Son, Song Yi didn't introduce him at all.

Hearing him address as senior brother, Ye Liuyun immediately performed a salute: "Greetings, all senior brothers!"

"Junior Brother, no need for courtesy! Wait a moment at the side, the Prince will come later." Song Yi said.

Then he again said to everyone: "Everyone, those who want to challenge can give it a try. The Prince has not limited the number of Holy Sons!"

At this moment, his speech was also much more modest; who knows whether among these people there might be a second Ye Liuyun.

Then Wu Gang challenged Li Yuanqing, and the result was Wu Gang's defeat. After that, no one else challenged.

Thus, everyone entered the Grand Hall together, awaiting the arrival of the Heaven Fortune King.
