"This..."
The words made Yan Biao's face turn even redder, almost to the point of bleeding.
It was precisely because of the uncle-nephew relationship between Yan Shenghui and Dongfang Hongwu that Dongfang Mingyue had been invited.
If the well-being of a junior was not taken into consideration, some people would indeed gossip!
This would further affect the reputation of the Blazing Fire Institute, suggesting that they had used the invitation as a pretext to harbor ill intentions towards the Hidden Organization.
Thinking of this, he said fiercely, "I have given my warning. How you choose is your own business. Take care of yourselves!"
With that, Yan Biao turned and left.
He was truly afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to control himself and would directly engage in a physical confrontation with the other party.
"Hmph!"
Just as Yan Biao reached the doorway, Ye Cangtian's cold哼 could be heard from behind him.
"Yan Biao, mind your status. In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant and not qualified to speak to me like this!"
"If you continue to be disrespectful, I will not care about your background!"
"You can inquire around; is Ye Cangtian known for his good temper?"
Ye Cangtian had reached his limit with Yan Biao.
If the other party did not know he was a Heaven-grade powerhouse, then it could be forgiven. Ignorance was bliss, as they said.
But the fact that the other party knew his cultivation level yet still acted arrogantly towards him made his anger surge.
Was his cultivation fake? Was it not worthy of respect?
Or had he not made a move for too long, leading others to believe he had no temper?
"Ant?"
An ant!!!
Yan Biao's body began to tremble. The anger he had suppressed with all his might was constantly eroding his mind.
Although he had not reached the Heaven-grade, he was at least a quasi-Heaven-grade powerhouse and a rare genius disciple of the Blazing Fire Institute.
Now, to be described as an ant, even if the speaker was a Heaven-grade powerhouse, he could not accept it.
Therefore, Yan Biao suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Ye Cangtian, and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, who do you think you are to insult me like this!"
As he spoke, Yan Biao's large hand shook, and a flash of red light appeared, instantly making the entire hall incredibly hot.
Looking at Yan Biao's large hand, a powerful pair of gauntlets had appeared.
"Ye Cangtian, if you don't kowtow and apologize to me today, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Yan Biao's voice rang out, his eyes filled with not only resentment but also soaring fighting spirit.
Even if Ye Cangtian was a Heaven-grade powerhouse, he wanted to leave him with a memory he would never forget!
"Heh heh, daring to provoke the majesty of a Heaven-grade powerhouse. I really don't know whether to call you brave or foolish!"
Looking at Yan Biao, Ye Cangtian wore a disdainful smile and continued, "However, you are not qualified to demand an apology from me!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian stood up from his chair.
As soon as he stood up, he felt his collar being pulled. Ye Cangtian turned his head and looked at Dongfang Mingyue.
He saw Dongfang Mingyue slowly shake her head at him.
The meaning was very clear: she wanted Ye Cangtian to be patient and not escalate the situation.
Although Dongfang Mingyue found Yan Biao extremely annoying, she could not afford to have the Hidden Organization fall out with the Blazing Fire Institute just because of this annoyance!
After all, it was a peak force. If a war were to break out, it would not benefit either side!
The next moment, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, giving her a reassuring look, signaling that he had his own plans!
After that, Ye Cangtian ignored him and directly moved to the center of the hall.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a flash of golden light, and the Golden Great Ringed Saber appeared in his hand.
"You!"
Seeing the faint glow emanating from the Great Ringed Saber, Yan Biao's face instantly turned ashen.
As everyone knew, Ye Cangtian's most formidable weapon was the Death Scythe, but he was now using a Golden Great Ringed Saber.
What did this mean?
It meant that the other party looked down on him!
Thinking of this, Yan Biao roared in anger, shouting, "Ye Cangtian, who the hell do you think you are looking down on! Hurry up and switch back to the Death Scythe!"
"Heh heh, I originally intended to fight with my bare hands, but I felt that Yan Shenghui and Sister Mingyue had some connection, so I decided to give you some face!"
"So don't talk so much nonsense. Hurry up and make your move, or you won't even have the chance to!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, and without regard for Yan Biao, he made a gesture of invitation.
"You..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Yan Biao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, his face turned cold, and he said angrily, "Good, since you're being so arrogant, don't blame me if you die!"
As he spoke, Yan Biao's gauntlets suddenly lit up, and the temperature in the room soared, causing some wooden ornaments and furniture to emit white smoke.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Yan Biao's aura reached its peak, and his body moved abruptly.
In an instant, Yan Biao had appeared beside Ye Cangtian, his fist, imbued with the aura of a tiger, smashing towards Ye Cangtian's chest.
Blazing Tiger Fist!
One of the Blazing Fire Institute's ultimate techniques, it could unleash several times the strength of the human body and was a domineering fist technique of extreme Yang and supreme hardness.
"Hmm?"
What a fierce punch!
Feeling the pressure brought by the Blazing Tiger Fist, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself.
It was indeed a powerful punch. Although Yan Biao's cultivation was only around the seventh level of the quasi-Heaven-grade, the power of this punch actually rivaled that of the ninth level.
While shocked, Ye Cangtian slowly raised his hand.
"Bang!"
A burst of explosive sound came, and Yan Biao's fist landed heavily on Ye Cangtian's palm.
"This..."
In an instant, Yan Biao was stunned on the spot.
His powerful punch had not only been blocked with ease by the other party but had not even moved him, which he found hard to believe.
After all, he had tested the power of his fist before. It was comparable to the full force attack of a ninth-level powerhouse.
And the difference between a ninth-level powerhouse and a Heaven-grade powerhouse was only one level. How could he have blocked it so easily?
Most importantly, even Yan Shenghui had personally commented that ordinary Heaven-grade powerhouses had to deal with his fist cautiously!
"Is that all the strength you have?"
"This much strength isn't even enough to tickle me!"
"Do you have any more powerful moves?"
At this moment, Ye Cangtian's voice came, startling Yan Biao.
He looked at the playful smile on the other party's face and became even more furious.
"Ye Cangtian, this is just an appetizer!"
Yan Biao roared through gritted teeth. The next moment, his eyes turned red, and his entire aura became restless.
"This is..."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue were suddenly stunned.
The other party's aura was constantly rising, and in a short moment, it had stabilized at the eighth level of the Heaven-grade, forcibly increasing his cultivation by one level.
At the same time, his aura seemed to have transformed into a blazing inferno, wavering slightly.
Seeing this, they instantly recalled something.
Legend had it that the Blazing Fire Institute possessed a supreme technique called the 'Blazing Undying Body'.
This cultivation method was extremely difficult to master and not something just anyone could practice. It was also extremely dangerous; one wrong move could lead to being consumed by flames and dying.
Currently, the only two recorded individuals who had successfully cultivated it were the Dean of the Blazing Fire Institute and Yan Shenghui.
The fact that Yan Biao had managed to unleash it now was sufficient proof of his considerable talent.
"Heh heh, it seems you do have some capital to be arrogant, but your arrogance before me is not enough!" Ye Cangtian smiled slightly.
"Hmph! Ye Cangtian, don't think you're so great!"
"I'll let you see my full strength right now!"
Yan Biao snorted heavily, flashed before Ye Cangtian, and the next moment, countless fist shadows rained down upon him.
"Hmm?"
Ye Cangtian was slightly surprised, his brows gradually furrowing.
With Yan Biao unleashing the Blazing Undying Body, all aspects of his being had improved by one level.
Even this Blazing Tiger Fist could now be unleashed consecutively, and its attack was much more potent than before.
Currently, the power of a single punch was already approaching that of a Grand Completion realm expert's attack.
Interesting, but how long can you sustain such a ferocious assault?
A playful smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face, and the next moment, his figure began to move.
Relying on his powerful mental energy, Ye Cangtian could easily evade the other party's attacks.
"..."
"This kid is too devious."
Watching Ye Cangtian constantly dodge, Dongfang Mingyue muttered to herself.
Ye Cangtian could clearly handle the opponent with ease, but he chose not to. Instead, he opted for continuous evasion to exhaust the opponent's stamina.
Even more wickedly, Ye Cangtian always waited until the attack was about to hit before dodging, giving the opponent hope, only to then dash their hopes and leave them with regret.
This method was practically designed to enrage the opponent to death.
Indeed, as Dongfang Mingyue had anticipated, within ten minutes, Yan Biao's enraged voice echoed through the hall.
"Ye Cangtian, I look down on you. Are you even a man?"
"If you have the guts, exchange a few blows with me! Just dodging like this is useless!"
"You're a Heaven-grade powerhouse, for crying out loud. You don't just know how to dodge, do you..."
Yan Biao was finally driven to the brink by Ye Cangtian's evasive tactics. He continued to attack while cursing Ye Cangtian.
"You said it yourself. Don't cry when you lose!"
The next moment, Ye Cangtian's voice came.
