Chapter 446 Why Are You Screaming? It’s Just a Flesh Wound
Bang!
Qiao Mei threw one final merciless punch directly into Ming Ye’s chest.
Crack!
The sound of bones shattering echoed loudly through the skies.
Ming Ye’s eyes widened as his entire body shot downward like a falling meteor.
Boom!
The earth trembled violently upon impact.
A massive crater instantly formed just outside Clear Moon City as dust and rubble exploded everywhere.
Ming Ye lay at the center of the crater motionless, his body half-buried beneath broken rocks like a discarded sack of stones.
The once elegant and untouchable young master was now in an utterly miserable state.
His luxurious robes had long been reduced to tattered rags.
His handsome face was swollen beyond recognition, stained with blood and dirt.
Even his aura had become chaotic and unstable after suffering Qiao Mei’s relentless beating.
“Y-Young master!”
A figure hurriedly rushed forward in panic.
Old Xi instantly appeared beside the crater before quickly helping Ming Ye out from the rubble.
The old servant’s wrinkled face twitched violently as he looked at the bloodied state of the young master he had come to guard today.
“Young master, are you alright?” Old Xi asked anxiously while supporting Ming Ye’s broken body.
Truthfully, the old man had never been worried earlier.
In his mind, this entire confrontation was probably just another one of Ming Ye’s romantic schemes to win back Qiao Mei’s heart.
After all, the young master had always been extremely talented and overwhelmingly powerful among his generation and the clan also spent huge resources on him last week to boost his cultivation.
Old Xi had fully expected Ming Ye to endure a few hits intentionally before eventually suppressing Qiao Mei with absolute dominance.
Then the two would reconcile, clear up their misunderstandings, and everything would proceed smoothly from there.
Unfortunately…
Reality had slapped him harder than Qiao Mei’s fists slapped Ming Ye.
The old man stared blankly at the current state of Ming Ye. This was no act.
Ming Ye had genuinely been beaten half to death. Old Xi could hardly believe his eyes.
One must know that during the past few days, the clan had spared no expense to nurture Ming Ye.
Countless precious pills, heavenly treasures, and cultivation resources had been poured into his body.
The clan had practically emptied several treasure vaults just to forcefully raise his cultivation to the Eighth Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Such cultivation was enough to dominate almost every old generation expert across several continents. Yet even with all of that…
Ming Ye still could not defeat Qiao Mei. No. Forget defeating her. He could not even properly fight back.
“Our information on Qiao Mei was wrong!” Old Xi shouted inwardly, his heart trembling violently.
“She’s definitely not at the Third Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm!”
The old man raised his head toward the sky where Qiao Mei still floated proudly like an untouchable goddess of war.
Her robes fluttered in the wind while terrifying spiritual pressure continued to radiate from her body.
At that moment, Old Xi finally understood why Ming Ye had been beaten so miserably.
She’s strong!
However, the old man was not afraid.
Old Xi was already at the Tenth Stage and peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm.
This was precisely why he had been chosen as Ming Ye’s personal bodyguard.
He was powerful, experienced, and more than capable of dealing with most experts beneath the heavens.
After helping the battered Ming Ye sit against a broken section of rock, Old Xi slowly stood up.
Hak…
Hak…
Hak…
Ming Ye continued coughing up mouthfuls of blood, his chest rising and falling heavily.
His swollen face was pale, and he could not even properly speak at this moment.
Old Xi narrowed his aged eyes before finally stepping forward to confront Qiao Mei personally.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy.
“I don’t know exactly what happened between you and my young master, Miss Qiao,” Old Xi said slowly, his tone calm yet carrying authority. “But since my young master wishes for you to go with him, then you should simply comply honestly.”
He paused briefly before continuing.
“You will live a far better life by his side than remaining here in this insignificant place.”
As his final words fell, Old Xi suddenly raised one wrinkled hand.
Boom!
Terrifying spiritual essence erupted from his body like a raging tsunami.
The skies darkened instantly.
A gigantic phantom hand materialized high above Qiao Mei.
It radiated monstrous pressure capable of crushing mountains into dust.
The massive hand descended from the heavens with the clear intent of capturing her alive and forcibly dragging her away.
The cultivators below instantly turned pale in horror.
This was the might of a peak Immortal Ascension Realm expert.
Yet… Qiao Mei merely smiled. It was a cold smile filled with ridicule.
Boom!!!
An unimaginable flood of spiritual essence exploded outward from her body.
The pressure alone caused the surrounding space to tremble violently.
Frost rapidly spread through the skies while the temperature of the entire area plummeted sharply.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The gigantic phantom hand froze solid in midair.
Bang!
It shattered apart into countless fragments of icy dust before everyone’s stunned eyes.
“What?!” Old Xi’s pupils shrank violently.
His expression changed completely.
The spiritual pressure radiating from Qiao Mei at this moment was so overwhelming that even he felt suffocated.
Impossible.
This pressure…
This terrifying aura…
“She’s not in the Immortal Ascension Realm… she’s…”
Old Xi’s voice stopped abruptly. Because Qiao Mei had already returned the favor.
Boom!
A gigantic icy hand suddenly materialized above the heavens.
Compared to Old Xi’s earlier attack, this one was vastly more terrifying.
It blotted out the skies entirely and radiated an aura of absolute destruction.
Old Xi’s scalp instantly turned numb. Before he could even react…
Bang!!!
The massive hand slammed downward mercilessly.
“AAAAHHHH!”
Old Xi let out a shocked scream as his body was violently pummeled deep into the ground like a nail hammered by the wrath of the heavens themselves.
Boom!!!
The earth shattered apart upon impact.
A gigantic crater instantly formed as endless cracks spread across the land like spider webs.
Dust and rubble shot high into the skies while shockwaves swept through the entire area.
Silence followed.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene with trembling hearts.
The mighty Old Xi…
A peak Tenth Stage Immortal Ascension expert…
Had been crushed into the ground with a single attack.
