Chapter 1617 - 1445: Truly Weak

Under the veil, Mengli Qingtan’s face had gone completely pale!!!

Utterly terrifying.

What was going on?

"Your movement technique isn’t bad. Unfortunately, you don’t understand how terrifying Seventh Rank Peak Level Space Law really is." Ye Tian said flatly.

In truth, it’s not that Seventh Rank Space Law is unimaginably strong in and of itself?!

It’s that in Ye Tian’s hands, it can unleash an extremely fearsome power.

Because only Ye Tian can casually develop all kinds of Space Law Divine Skills.

Just now, within one hundredth of a breath, he had easily cast around himself more than a dozen space-type Divine Skills like "Space Locking," "Spatial Confinement," "Space Pulling," "Space Compression," "Space Crushing," "Spatial Binding," and so on.

Practically insane!!!!!!

With this stack of more than a dozen Space Divine Power techniques.

You could say that that patch of space on the battle platform was Ye Tian’s private domain.

Whether it was the Void or Real Space on the platform, even absolute vacuum, all were useless.

Unless you used ultimate power to shatter these Space Divine Power techniques.

Or used an even stronger Space Law to dissolve them.

Too bad Mengli Qingtan couldn’t do either.

Mengli Qingtan could even smell the aura on Ye Tian’s body!!!!

He was too close.

She had never been this close to a man before.

She felt as if right now she was practically pressed up against Ye Tian.

Rage, fear, shame, and countless other emotions exploded inside her. She raised her hand and slammed a palm strike toward Ye Tian.

However.

That palm had only just been lifted...

Before it could come down.

She couldn’t move!

Her wrist was directly seized by Ye Tian.

"Let go!!!!" Mengli Qingtan shouted. She was actually being grabbed by the wrist by Ye Tian—this already crossed the line between men and women; nothing like this had ever happened before. Her brain buzzed as shame and fury surged higher. She recklessly drove her Immortal Origin through her body, pouring Immortal Origin into her arm like money didn’t matter, boosting her strength, and then, with a shout, used all her might trying to yank back the wrist Ye Tian had seized...

But what drove her to despair...

Was that it was useless.

Not even a twitch.

Even if she exhausted all her strength.

She couldn’t break free of Ye Tian’s seemingly relaxed grip on her wrist, that Binding she was caught in.

Under full exertion, 6,500 billion jin of Pure Power—how could Mengli Qingtan even imagine that?

"Let go!!!!!!!!!!!!" Unable to break free, Mengli Qingtan lost her composure. With another shout, she drove her right knee up, smashing toward Ye Tian’s left knee. This was a close-combat tactic.

Naturally, she was going all out.

As she drove her knee brutally forward, she poured a vast sea of Immortal Origin into it, hoping to blast Ye Tian’s left knee aside or even snap it in one shot.

Forced into a corner.

"Bang..."

Knee struck against knee.

But... but... but in that instant, tears spilled from under Mengli Qingtan’s veil, the blood drained from her peerless face.

Agonizing pain.

Mengli Qingtan was almost certain her knee had shattered!!!

Of course it had shattered.

Ye Tian’s current physical toughness was so terrifying it defied imagination.

His body had already been bug-level to begin with; and this was after he had absorbed Witch Origin on top of that.

"You really are very weak, so I couldn’t be bothered to accept your so-called invitation. Is there a problem with that?" Ye Tian felt no urge to pity beauty. Even knowing Mengli Qingtan’s right knee had just shattered, he still felt she had it coming. After all, the effect of force is mutual.

If my knee weren’t absurdly strong.

Then the one shattering would have been my knee.

His calm voice rippled into Mengli Qingtan’s ears, and what she felt was a vast, indescribable humiliation. For a moment she almost forgot the pain, her beautiful eyes reddened.

But right at that moment...

"Hmph!"

Ye Tian suddenly let out a cold snort.

Then he exerted strength.

Gripping Mengli Qingtan’s wrist, he truly didn’t treat her as a woman at all. He lifted her entire delicate body and slammed it!

BANG!!!!!!

He smashed her viciously onto the ground.

Slammed her down onto the battle platform.

Mengli Qingtan felt as if her whole body were about to shatter...

Her mouth was full of the taste of blood, the blood surging up from her nearly shattered internal organs and flooding her throat.

That knee that had already been fractured was now completely pulverized.

"You should thank yourself for never once harboring Murderous Intent. Because of that, you don’t have to die. Otherwise, you’d already be dead." Ye Tian looked down from above at Mengli Qingtan and said.

In the Martial Arts Arena, it was pure, absolute silence.

More petrified than petrified by a factor of ten thousand!!!

First of all, Ye Tian utterly crushing Mengli Qingtan, who was at the Fourth Level of Immortal Realm, was already dream within a dream.

But what was most, most, most unbelievable was that Ye Tian could really bring himself to hit her like that!

That was Mengli Qingtan, supposedly possessing a world-toppling face that made the Moon Palace Fairy feel inferior!

Beat her if you have to beat her.

But this ruthless?

Shattering her knee?

Smashing her onto the ground so hard her internal organs were about to be crushed to pieces??

This... how the hell did he even bring himself to do that?!

In truth, even Mengli Qingtan herself felt a nameless fury and grievance. Though she had never used her unmatched beauty as a source of pride, at the end of the day, she was still a woman!

Mengli Qingtan regretted it a little.

Regretted that she had overestimated herself.

She should have used some Treasures from the very start.

As the Ninth Alliance Leader, she had trump cards and top-grade Treasures—quite a few, in fact.

Yet at the beginning, she hadn’t taken Ye Tian seriously; she’d even looked down on him.

So she didn’t use them.

Later, when she wanted to use them, it was already too late.

And now, seriously injured, she couldn’t use them at all.

Under the veil, Mengli Qingtan’s beautiful eyes were already swollen and red from crying.

Yes.

The pain from her shattered knee was too intense; she couldn’t control the tears.

What scared her even more was whether her knee could be completely restored. She could definitely heal it, but whether it could be restored without any damage at all—she wasn’t sure.

Especially, what if the healed knee had scars? Even the tiniest scar would be unacceptable to her.

"Ninth Alliance Leader..." Down below, Liu Ran and Xiao Ting, after several full breaths of immense shock and disbelief, finally couldn’t care about anything else and rushed toward the battle platform.

The two of them were terrified.

Look at how miserable the Ninth Alliance Leader was right now.

Her knee was shattered, bone fragments and blood soaking the white skirt covering her knees.

And the blood constantly spilling from beneath her veil seemed... seemed to be laced with bone grit, shards from her internal organs. She was spewing mouthful after mouthful of blood that wouldn’t stop, pooling on the ground.

And the Ninth Alliance Leader’s aura was extremely feeble.

Her injuries were quite severe.

"What are you doing?!!!! Get off the platform! This is the battle stage! Who allowed you up here?!" Yet just as everyone thought Liu Ran and Xiao Ting would rush onto the platform to support the heavily injured Mengli Qingtan... to their utter astonishment, Mengli Qingtan braced one hand on the ground, dragged her leg with the shattered knee, and pushed herself up on her other leg. Even though her veil was completely soaked red, even though her whole person carried a bloody yet tragic beauty, she still stood up. She turned her head and shouted at Liu Ran and Xiao Ting.

Liu Ran and Xiao Ting froze where they were, filled with fear and awe.

They quickly retreated from the battle platform, trembling.

Down below, Ying Xuan had also been planning to go up, to check on Mengli Qingtan, to help her heal. But now he pulled back that impulse. Mm, Mengli Qingtan had principles—she didn’t want others interfering in this challenge that obviously wasn’t over yet. In that case, he would never risk angering Mengli Qingtan; that would only make her dislike him.

Ye Tian looked, somewhat surprised, at the strong woman before him.

Yes, genuinely surprised.

But also genuinely impressed.

First, even though Mengli Qingtan was so grievously injured at this moment, there wasn’t a trace of viciousness or venom in her aura. That was rare.

Second, this kind of toughness, this refusal to let her subordinates come up and support her, this principled temperament, was also very rare.

Ye Tianxin gave her a very good evaluation in his heart.

"Ye Tian, in today’s challenge, it is indeed I... I who lost. I, Mengli Qingtan, admit that that day, your arrogance, your domineering attitude, your impatience, your refusal... your rejection, were because you had the capital—you had the capital to look down on my invitation!" Then Mengli Qingtan looked at Ye Tian, her voice steady: "But I will not concede. A single victory or defeat doesn’t mean forever. In the future, I will challenge you again!!!"
