<b>Chapter 84 â The Outcome Is Decided</b>
Under the panic-stricken gazes of everyone, Ye Zhong appeared amidst the sword glow, his eyes turned cold as he shouted inwardly, and at the same time, his right fist was imbued with the power of the Six-layered Shura Sword Seal. A punch landed on the golden lotus.
In a short instant, before anyone could react, an extremely terrifying force wildly exploded, directly shattering the golden lotus flower!
This scene was out of everyoneâs expectations, causing all of the onlookers present to gasp. A look of disbelief surfaced in their eyes.
Ye Zhong actually broke Fu Yangâs Spiritual Secret Art with a single punch?
As if responding to everyoneâs questions, a cracking sound was heard, and Ye Zhong broke through the golden lotus flower, throwing a punch full of ferocity towards Fu Yang.
Terrifying amounts of energy gushed forth like a solid mass. Even Fu Yang, who had cultivated the Xingxiang Body, felt a sharp pain. At that moment, his eyes turned serious. Ye Zhongâs punch had made him feel threatened!
The silver spear in his hand swung out fiercely, and the golden lotus appeared on the spear once again. That terrifying power instantly reached its peak.
The fist and spear directly collided head-on. An indescribable wild and violent ripple swept apart at the point where the two collided. Numerous spiderweb-like cracks on the ground also spread out at lightning speed.
â*Swishâ Swishâ*â
As soon as the spear made contact with Ye Zhongâs fist, it created an overwhelmingly violent shockwave, like that of the primaeval ferocious beast, invading his fist peak. It was obvious that Fu Yang was prepared to use his most powerful attack to defeat Ye Zhong.
âYoungest Junior Brother Ye Zhong, youâve just joined the Xingxiang Sect, so Iâll let you know what the Signature Spiritual Secret Art of Body Tempering of our Xingxiang Sect is like, and how terrifying the Xingxiang Body is!â Fu Yang sneered as he looked at Ye Zhong, who was at a disadvantage under his suppression.
âIt is merely a Spiritual Secret Art of Body Tempering!â
Ye Zhong lifted his head abruptly, a glint flashing in his eyes. He clenched his fists again, and this time, the Secret Art of Six Grave Swords in his body had already activated at a crazy pace. The roaring sword intent had gathered at the centre of Ye Zhongâs fist peak, gushing forth with his punch.
Ye Zhongâs right arm struck out once again, and an indescribably terrifying power gushed out crazily like a torrential downpour. At this moment, the originally somewhat blurry sixth Shura Sword Seal instantly became completely clear.
Under the stupefied gazes of the many disciples of the Xingxiang Sect, they noticed that along with the manifestation of the sixth Shura Sword Seal, cracks rapidly appeared on the golden lotus that was unleashed by Fu Yang. As the cracks expanded, the golden lotus exploded under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
The moment that the golden lotus exploded, Ye Zhongâs punch had landed squarely on Fu Yangâs chest and abdomen without holding back.
A terrifying force instantly poured out. As Fu Yangâs chest caved in, his body shot backwards like a cannonball. He only stopped when he collided against a sky-high tree. Then, his face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, at the entire entrance of the Xingxiang Sect, even the disciples who came and went were instantly silenced. They looked at each other and secretly sucked in a breath of cold air in the end.
Did Ye Zhong break Fu Yangâs Spiritual Secret Art?
As disciples of the Xingxiang Sect, they were well aware of how difficult it was to enter the Third Floor of the Spiritual Secret Arts Hall. Even if they were to enter, there were only a handful of mid-grade Spirit-rank Secret Arts. Ordinary people would not be able to obtain them.
But now⊠Fu Yang, who had obtained the mid-grade Spirit-rank Secret Art, had been defeated by Ye Zhong with a single punch?
Looking at Ye Zhong, who didnât continue to attack any further, everyone knew that the outcome of the battle had been decided.
The Shura Sword Seal at Ye Zhongâs fist peak slowly wiggled, and then finally disappeared into nothingness. During the battle just now, he had forcefully activated the Six-Layered Shura Sword Seal, instantly enhancing his attack power by several times. Otherwise, it would be impossible to win so easily.
If they were not in the Xingxiang Sect, Ye Zhong would have taken the opportunity to kill the other party. It was a pity that such a decisive option could not be used so openly in the Xingxiang Sect.
However, this was enough.
As Ye Zhongâs gaze fell on Fu Yang, his face was as pale as paper. He smiled and cupped his hands, âSenior Brother Fu Yang, you let me win [1]!â
A hint of unwillingness appeared in Fu Yangâs eyes. He seemed to want to forcefully attack again, but the moment he stood up, he held onto his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood. It was obvious that his injuries this time were not as light as he had imagined.
Seeing Fu Yang spew out another mouthful of blood, the surrounding atmosphere became completely silent. Shock appeared in the eyes of all the disciples of the Xingxiang Sect. This result was completely out of their expectations.
Although Fu Yangâs strength couldnât be considered top amongst the Inner Disciples, he was already quite famous. That was why there were so many people who felt incredulous when such an outcome happened. If it werenât for the fact that this scene was unfolding right before their eyes, many people wouldnât have believed it at all.
âTch tch, it seems that this rumoured trash of the Ye Clan is definitely not simpleâŠâ
âI heard that he killed Mo Fanlong in the Innate Temple. I didnât believe it at first, but now it seems like itâs true!â
âLooks like we have another outstanding Inner Disciple, havenât we?â
âIf I remember correctly, Senior Brother Fu Yang is ranked 75th, right? And this Junior Brother Ye Zhong should be ranked 108th. After this battle, Junior Brother Ye Zhong should be replacing Senior Brother Fu Yangâs rank, right?â
âWill todayâs matter end so easily?â
There were whispers all around, the eyes of many surrounding disciples landed on Ye Zhong again, and their eyes were filled with seriousness at the moment. The strength that Ye Zhong was displaying right now was enough for them to pay attention to.
Fu Yangâs expression changed back and forth for a moment before he finally let out a sigh. He had tried his best just now, but who knew that Ye Zhong would turn the tables on him at the most crucial moment! He could vaguely sense that although both of them were at the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering, Ye Zhongâs physique was much stronger than his. It was obvious that the Spiritual Secret Art of Body Tempering that Ye Zhong was cultivating was not any weaker than the Xingxiang Body.
âThe legendary Innate Marrow Washing, isnât it?â Fu Yang stared at Ye Zhong with some wariness in his eyes. After a while, he clasped his hands at Ye Zhong and spoke in a deep voice, âJunior Brother Ye Zhong, Iâm impressed. Iâm convinced that you have the ability to follow Senior Sister Ling Yue on the mission.â
With that, Fu Yang turned around and prepared to leave.
âSenior Brother Fu Yang.â
Ye Zhongâs voice rang out at that moment. It was flat, but for some reason, most people felt their hair stand on end.
âIâm afraid you canât go yet.â An indifferent smile crept across Ye Zhongâs face, âAccording to our agreement, if you canât withstand ten moves from me, I will cut off one of your arms⊠Letâs not even talk about ten moves now. You canât even withstand five moves, right?â
Hearing Ye Zhongâs words, all the disciples present understood that todayâs incident would not be over so easily.
Originally, if Ye Zhong hadnât mentioned it, todayâs matter would have been over already. As for the bet earlier, no one would have paid any attention to it. But now, Ye Zhong had purposefully brought it up, obviously, he was not going to ignore it.
The wager of cutting off an arm.
When their thoughts travelled here, quite a few peopleâs gazes landed on Fu Yangâs arm. The corners of their eyes twitched slightly.
Very quickly, their gazes fell upon Ye Zhong, their eyes filled with fear.
âJunior Brother Ye Zhong, weâve already admitted defeat. Anyone can make mistakes, forgive them when possible. So, donât go too far!â Fu Yang had not yet opened his mouth, one of the few disciples that came with him spoke up while gazing at Ye Zhong with gloomy eyes. Although Ye Zhongâs skills were not weak, with their number, they didnât believe that they would be afraid of a single Ye Zhong.
Ye Zhong moved as fast as lightning, and before the man who spoke earlier could react, he had already slapped him on the face, immediately stunning him before he sneered, âWhatâs your identity to regard me as your Junior Brother? What right do you have to instruct me to do this and that?â
The man who was slapped was infuriated.
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Zhong turned around and threw a whip kick right at his face. This time, the man was sent flying, and as he hit the ground, he fainted without a sound.
After doing so, Ye Zhong coldly swept a glance at the rest of the group who wanted to make a move. However, this time, Ye Zhongâs gaze made them go weak in the knees.
Joking aside, the man who had been knocked out by Ye Zhong was as strong as them. If they attacked now, wouldnât they be courting death?
âYe Zhong, do you really want to take one of my arms?â Fu Yangâs eyes were cold as he clutched his chest and spoke in a hoarse voice.
âSenior Brother Fu Yang.â Ye Zhong put on a smile as warm as the sun, but to the surrounding disciples, it was the smile of a devil in disguise.
âSenior Brother, you need to ask yourself. If the one who lost today was me, would you let me go? Iâm afraid that my arm is already yours, isnât it?â

âSo, letâs not talk nonsense,â Ye Zhong smiled, âWe only have one thing to consider, and that is, does Senior Brother want to do it himself, or do you want me to do it for you?â
[1] âyou let me winâ are the polite words said after winning a game.
