Chapter 691: Xiao Ye vs Tang Yi
"You want to duel with me?" Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief.
What status does Tang Yi have?
He is the Absolute Emperor Domain's contemporary Emperor's son, who at a young age has already become an Emperor Realm Martial Artist; and now he actually wants to duke it out with me?
For a moment, Xiao Ye couldn't understand Tang Yi's intention.
Not just Xiao Ye was confused, even the Martial Artists from the Absolute Emperor Domain were puzzled.
"Emperor's son, a mere Martial Artist from the King Martial Realm, how would it be his turn for you to act?"
"Right, let this old man take care of it instead, my Cultivation is much stronger than this young man!"
Those two Emperor Realm elders, walking one in front of the other, came forward and spoke.
They naturally assumed that Tang Yi wanted to settle the score with Xiao Ye to seek revenge, thus they volunteered themselves.
"I've said, it is I, the Emperor's son, who wishes to exchange pointers with Brother Xiao!" Tang Yi's expression turned icy cold as he stared sharply at the two elders.
Upon hearing this, the two elders shuddered, their expressions stiffening as they stopped in their tracks, faces crumpled in frustration.
They really couldn't imagine why Tang Yi truly wanted to contend with Xiao Ye.
Tang Yi was the Absolute Emperor Domain's contemporary Emperor's son. His noble status aside, even if he won a duel against a King Martial Realm Martial Artist, it would only bring ridicule from all over the world.
Most importantly, why was Tang Yi so interested in what seemed like an ordinary King Martial Realm youth?
"What's the matter? Any objections?"
"Brother Xiao is a dragon among men, within a decade, he will definitely become one of the top figures among the younger generation of Central State, perhaps even surpassing us, the Four Great Emperor's Sons!" At this point, seeing the puzzled look on the faces of many Martial Artists, Tang Yi couldn't help but speak out.
Swoosh!
Tang Yi's words, like a bombshell, struck everyone with astonishment, their faces shocked as they stared at Xiao Ye.
A seemingly ordinary youth actually received such high praise from Tang Yi—who exactly was this person?
"This young man's surname is Xiao, and then there's the Holy Banquet…"
Suddenly, a middle-aged Martial Artist put Tang Yi's words together in his mind, and suddenly saw the light: "Could this youth be Taiyi Palace's Xiao Ye?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else also reacted, showing realization.
Xiao Ye's reputation was now massive among the powerful Sects of Central State, having been heard by many, to say nothing of the Absolute Emperor Domain.
At the Holy Palace Banquet, in front of all the Major Sect's representatives, Xiao Ye defeated Jun Shitian, who had an esteemed reputation among the younger generation in Central State, rising in fame and leaving a deep impression on everyone, to the point where it was impossible to forget.
The one who had just had a conflict with them was actually Xiao Ye?
With this in mind, these Martial Artists felt their backs soaked in cold sweat, especially the two Emperor Realm elders, who turned pale, filled with lingering fear.
Xiao Ye was now considered a treasure of Taiyi Palace; if they damaged him, Taiyi Palace would not let them off the hook.
When the time came, the upper echelons of the Absolute Emperor Domain, in order to give an explanation to Taiyi Palace, would certainly abandon them.
After all, Taiyi Palace is the number one power among the Four Great Emperor Domains, and has intricate connections with the Invincible Emperor Domain.
At this moment, Tang Yi, disregarding those Martial Artists, turned to Xiao Ye with a friendly smile and said, "Brother Xiao, I have long admired you since watching you defeat Jun Shitian at the same Realm during the Holy Palace Banquet; I am finally meeting you today."
"I also want to follow in Jun Shitian's footsteps, suppress my Cultivation to fight you at the same Realm level, what do you think?"
Xiao Ye looked at Tang Yi and then smiled slightly.
So that was his idea.
"Alright, I also would like to see for myself what the Emperor's son's strength is like." Xiao Ye nodded, his eyes equally blazing, as an invincible War Intent soared into the sky, boiling the Nine Heavens.
Each of the contemporary Four Great Emperor's Sons of the Central Province Imperial Domain is a peak existence among their peers, Xiao Ye naturally also looked forward to such an opponent.
As for the previous conflict, given Tang Yi's courteous approach, he could let it slide.
"Haha, good, Brother Xiao is indeed a forthright man. Let us find a spacious place to duel then!" Tang Yi said, and then his figure soared into the sky, flying toward the distance.
Xiao Ye smiled faintly, following suit.
"The Emperor's son really wants to duel with Xiao Ye?"
The Absolute Emperor is indeed very strong, deeply cultivated, and fearsome in strength; otherwise, he would not be the contemporary Emperor's son of their Domain.
And Xiao Ye was not weak either, as his defeat of Jun Shitian at the same Realm had amply demonstrated.
If the Absolute Emperor suppressed his strength to fight Xiao Ye, the outcome was not necessarily easy to call.
"What are you standing around for, hurry up and go watch!" At this moment, a middle-aged Martial Artist shouted excitedly, rushing forward.
"Yes, let's hurry and see."
"Our Emperor's son has cultivated many secret techniques and King Martial Combat Skills, he definitely won't lose!"
These Martial Artists, following Tang Yi's younger brother, hurriedly chased after.
By this time, Xiao Ye and Tang Yi, one after another, had already flown far away and arrived at the center of a vast grassland before stopping.
Two great young warriors, almost at the same time, ceased motion, standing tall above the Heaven, facing each other from a distance.
The Martial Artists from the Absolute Emperor Domain had followed, some standing atop the Heavenly Tree, others on the summits of mountains, all looking up at the two silhouettes above the Heaven.
"Huh, something's not right. Why have both Xiao Ye and the Emperor's son closed their eyes?" At this moment, a Martial Artist from the Domain spoke softly, full of confusion.
From his perspective, he could clearly see that both Xiao Ye and Tang Yi had their eyes slightly closed.
"The Emperor's son is our Domain's number one genius, only when encountering worthy opponents does he adjust his mindset to enter the battle state."
"And Xiao Ye does the same."
At this time, one of the Emperor Realm elders slowly said.
What does it mean to be a top fighting genius?
That is to be able to rapidly enter the battle state in any environment and face the enemy with a full spirit.
Tang Yi is now adjusting his Mental Realm, which shows just how much he values Xiao Ye.
The elder's words made everyone nod somewhat understandingly but still confused.
They indeed did not understand the ways of a genius.
Swoosh!
At this moment, Xiao Ye and Tang Yi opened their eyes at nearly the same time, eyes flashing with brilliance, radiating an unsurpassed glow, similar to Divine Light.
Their gazes collided in mid-air, like thunder and lightning interweaving intensely captivating!
Most astonishingly, concentric ripples materialized, emanating from both persons, causing the grass below to sway violently.
At this moment, they ignored the Martial Artists who had followed, seeing only each other, treating each other as opponents!
