Paragon of Sin

bling deck with widened eyes still reflecting that resolve to die for his cause. 

He Yanglei was startled for a moment, but quickly regained his calm.
With a faint smile, he looked at Wei Wuyin completely unbothered by the carnage occurring before him.
Those loyal members of his temple were eaten, crushed, and blown apart, yet he remained entirely unfazed.

”Using an external array to fig- ”

”Silence! ” Wei Wuyin coldly shouted with impatience.
He didn ’t hesitate to blink away from the Metal-Origin Dragon ’s head, utilizing Spatial Shift and covering the remaining distance between them.
When he arrived before He Yanglei, he activated the tokens challenging rights.
As he activated the challenge, He Yanglei ’s token also lit.

A ray of divine light descended from the sky, engulfing the two before pushing everything else away.
The ship had received incredible levels of damage during the shove, causing it to split into three large pieces and innumerable smaller ones.
Those pieces clattered to the ground in quaking slams.

When the light faded, He Yanglei and Wei Wuyin were standing atop a platform of light and surrounded by a familiar cylindrical curtain.
The two stood opposite of each other, causing the spectators to grow quiet.
But when they saw He Yanglei ’s calm smile, they were quite confused.

If they went by their assumptions, wasn ’t Wei Wuyin still under the powerful effects of his amplification method? Why was He Yanglei so unbothered? 

But how could they know about He Yanglei ’s internal confidence in himself? His high cultivation base? And his absolute ace: his guardian! There was no danger to his life here, completely and totally devoid of tension!

Wei Wuyin calmly observed as He Yanglei sized him up with disdain.
The latter was seemingly fearless.
With a sneer, ”You think you ’ll fight me as easily as some nobody? A little boy at the Spatial Resonance Phase? ” With a thought, He Yanglei no longer hid his cultivation!

With an explosion of air that caused his ponytail to flutter about endlessly, He Yanglei ’s body emitted a strong gravitational force that distorted fixed space, ambient light, and the surrounding essence.
His Astral Core revealed itself with a bright radiance! 

Ten Centimeters! 

To have such a foundation in the Gravity Emission Phase was testament of his extraordinary cultivation foundation and outstanding talent! While most were still under the impression that Wei Wuyin ’s Astral Core was falsely achieved, they gawked and awed at He Yanglei ’s terrifying foundation!

To frighteningly add, to become a Holy Child, a cultivator must be under three hundred years old! That meant he was a Gravity Emission Phase cultivator at a ridiculously young age with such impressive foundations! Where did he even come from?

He Yanglei awaited Wei Wuyin ’s shocked reaction, but was met with silence and a calm expression.
With an amused smile, He Yanglei asked: ”Scared now? ” To him, Wei Wuyin was definitely feigning confidence.

Wei Wuyin looked towards the ground, looked outside the curtain for a moment, and then at his saber. 

’Just need a hundredth of a second. ’

BOOSH!

Not hesitating a single moment longer, Wei Wuyin ’s figure shot towards He Yanglei at his greatest speed! He didn ’t just blur, his speed had caused distortions to space and the surrounding flow of light, creating countless afterimages in his wake.
The distance between them was already short to begin with, so Wei Wuyin arrived before He Yanglei almost instantly!

He Yanglei ’s eyes constricted as he felt a sensation of deadly crisis, he urged his astral force inside him to act.
With a cold light flickering within his eyes, he was about to launch a violent palm in retaliation! 

BOOM!!!

BAAAAAAMMMMM!

The light curtain that shielded the platform collapsed in bits of tiny, scattered lights in the most thorough manner.
Even the light platform had been eviscerated, exploding into bursts of light that blinded the audience. 

Time seemed to slow for He Yanglei as he felt his vision distort.
One moment, he saw Wei Wuyin move, and the next scene had totally changed at such a fast speed that his perception and senses hadn ’t been able to register it! 

But he felt it.

A cold, icy sensation at his neck.

When he looked down just a little bit, he found a saber just mere millimeters from touching his skin.
It emitted an extremely terrifying saber light that caused his heart to fiercely jump.
Holding this saber was an exceptionally handsome face with eyes that exuded an unfathomably calm, but heavy sweat dripped from his forehead.

At the edge of that saber were two aged fingers, holding tightly to it, keeping it from moving that last bit of distance into his throat.
When his vision trailed those two fingers, he found that familiar skinny body directly beside him.

”You ’re an impudent one, ” the skinny old man remarked.
If he had displayed the slightest negligence, the consequences would ’ve been disastrous.
Wei Wuyin ’s speed was terrifying!

Wei Wuyin merely looked at his saber, unafraid.
It was as if he and his saber were the only two existences in this world.

He Yanglei felt a surge of terror inside his mind.
His guardian had acted? Was he going to die? Confused and enraged, he asked Wei Wuyin in disbelief: ”You tried to kill me? ” 

Wei Wuyin didn ’t answer immediately, the sweat on his forehead increasing as the skinny old man ’s finger pressed against Element, nearly shattering it! This was just the slightest power of those who surpassed the Mortal Limits!

But in the end, Wei Wuyin smiled with a relieved breath.
”Tried? ”

Those words caused the skinny old man to frown, his eyes dangerously narrowed.
What did this youth mean by that?

”You ’re already dead, ” Wei Wuyin glanced at He Yanglei, and then added as he eyed the skinny old man: ”You were a little late. ” 

The skinny old man ’s eyes constricted, his head snapping to He Yanglei at an inconceivable speed!

He Yanglei felt his blood freeze from those words, turning to the skinny old man who stood just a few inches away from him, as the two eyes met, he found a trace of fear, pity, and regret. 

He wanted to respond, to question, when he felt his vision darken without reason, his thoughts stagnate, and he could no longer feel his…anything…
