C53 (1/2)

Xiao Dingtian advancing to the Profound-rank meant that he would definitely be the strongest practitioner within the entire Nanyang Kingdom, and anyone below that would be nothing but an ant.

Even the people from Nanyang Kingdom would have to treat Profound-rank Expert with caution. Although alchemists and blacksmiths had esteemed statuses, they still had to be of a certain rank.

In the end, this was a world where force was paramount. Whether it was Pill or weapons, both were meant to increase a warrior's strength.

The Profound-rank Expert, even in the eyes of those clans and sects, was still an important figure in the clan of elders. Even a fourth-grade Alchemy Master would not dare to act arrogantly in front of him.

This was a huge deterrence. When Xiao Dingtian displayed the power of his Profound-rank, practically no one in the entire imperial court objected. Only Old General Xue dared to question him, but this was undoubtedly courting death in the eyes of the crowd of officials.

Xiao Dingtian immediately struck out with lightning speed, wanting to make an example out of everyone. The crowd of servants went silent, as if they had already seen the miserable scene of Old General Xue's blood splattering in the great hall.

Some of the ministers who had a deep relationship with Old General Xue all sighed in sorrow.

But right at that moment, Qi Tianyu stood out, and in front of everyone's shocked eyes, he slashed through Xiao Dingtian's Elemental Energy Giant Hand.

How is this possible!?

The entire imperial court was deathly silent. Everyone looked at each other in shock, their minds turning blank.

”King is currently a Profound-rank Expert. This Qi Tianyu is clearly just a High Leveled Martial Cultivator, how can he break apart a King with a single sword strike?”

”Could it be that this Qi Tianyu can actually contend against Profound-rank Expert? This is too scary. How old is he? ”

This sudden scene scared everyone in the hall silly, the eyes of some people who were dissatisfied with Xiao Dingtian's methods couldn't help but light up slightly.

The Prime Minister Liu Qishan and the Guard Commander Han Qian were all dumbstruck. The power from that sword strike earlier made them feel that they were insignificant, and when they thought about how they had repeatedly provoked him, they couldn't help but shiver.

If Qi Tianyu wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as flipping his hand!

”Qi Tianyu, how dare you, are you really going to rebel?”

Fourth Prince's expression changed slightly as he looked at Qi Tianyu with a look of disbelief.

This youth was a few years younger than him, but he was actually able to do such a thing.

It had to be known that even if it was him, who had cultivated quite a few high grade techniques and martial skills in the Profound Fire Sect, it would be extremely difficult for him to face an ordinary expert of the tenth stage of the Yellow-rank, let alone a Profound-rank Expert.

King's face also darkened slightly. His originally indifferent eyes revealed a hint of seriousness: ”Looks like I've underestimated you, but do you think that with your High Leveled Martial Cultivator's cultivation, you can do anything in front of a real Profound-rank Expert?”

Xiao Dingtian's tone was ice-cold. He never thought that this youth would actually have such a method up his sleeve. Even he himself had felt a hint of threat from that sword strike earlier.

However, he still didn't think that Qi Tianyu would be his match.

He had casually struck out with that palm strike just now. If he had used his full strength, he believed that this youth would not have been able to block it no matter how evil he was.

”Profound-rank? Is it that great? With me here today, you won't be able to touch anyone! ”

Qi Tianyu smiled faintly as the aura on his body suddenly increased dramatically.

The first level of the Sky Origin Technique directly raised Qi Tianyu's cultivation to the tenth level of the Yellow-rank, and a shocking wave of imposing manner swept across the entire hall.

”What?” ”How did his aura suddenly soar to such a terrifying level, this …”

”Ten stages of Yellow-rank? I had long heard that Qi Tianyu had grasped a mysterious technique, I never thought that it would be so terrifying. ”

Everyone's expression changed greatly, even Xiao Dingtian who originally had victory in his grasp could not remain calm.
