"Trying to escape?"

Yi Xun and Zu Feng landed on the wooden boat, striking together with their palms.

"Thunderfall Palm!"

Both palms unleashed simultaneously, and two handprints infused with Thunder Light crashed onto the water's surface. In an instant, Thunder Light spread, and two pillars of water shot diagonally towards the five War Kings on the shore.

"Retreat!"

The five were shocked at heart and hurriedly retreated. Those two water pillars struck the shore, immediately bringing a charred black color, and the reeds on both sides were directly ignited by the Thunder Light.

"This is the Thunderfall Palm of the Thunderbolt Sect, the destructive power is truly astonishing!"

The five were horrified in their hearts. When they came back to their senses, the wooden boat had already shot off into the distance, further than a hundred zhang away from them in an instant.

One of them was about to give chase but was stopped by the person beside them.

"We can't chase them; the cultivation techniques and martial arts of the Thunderbolt Sect will greatly increase in power in a water environment. They are currently on the lake, surrounded by water, which is the most perfect battleground for them. If we rashly pursue, we're likely to suffer great losses!"

The other four finally realized, recalling the power of the combined palm strike from Zu Feng and Yi Xun a moment ago. Should they recklessly pursue, they would likely be knocked into the lake and suffer the harsh punishment of thunder and lightning!

"So we're just going to give up?"

One of them said grudgingly.

Even though Zu Feng and Yi Xun are not the top combat forces of the Thunderbolt Sect, they are still among the outstanding young disciples. Capturing them would deal a huge blow to the Thunderbolt Sect, greatly diminishing their morale.

"Hmph, of course not!" The one who spoke earlier sneered, "Up ahead we have three teams from the Demon Punishment Palace. They have already gone upstream to intercept. By the time dozens of War Kings strike together, no matter how strong their Thunderbolt Sect's martial arts are, they will have to surrender!"

The other four grinned at his words, a trace of grimness appearing on their faces.

This time, the two top geniuses of the Thunderbolt Sect will likely be unable to escape their impending doom.

"Sister, Brother Xiaofeng, how did you end up being besieged, who are those people?"

On the wooden boat, Yi Yue asked Yi Xun with concern.

"They are people from the Demon Punishment Palace. We were planning to gather information, but who would have thought we'd be discovered by experts from the Demon Punishment Palace."

Yi Xun replied while adjusting her internal breath.

"Luckily we encountered you; otherwise, we would hardly have escaped!"

Zu Feng said solemnly, "They must be wary of our Thunderbolt Sect's martial arts and don't dare to chase from the water. It's not safe outside now, let's quickly return to the sect!"

Yi Yue nodded lightly. She had always held admiration for this Brother Xiaofeng. Among the young generation in the Outer Sect, he was so dazzling that many female disciples of the Thunderbolt Sect harbored secret affections for him.

Although she couldn't say she liked Zu Feng, she had a very good impression of him.

"Mmm!"

Just then, Yi Xun suddenly let out a light hum, and the two turned their heads to see a trace of blood seeping from her arm.

"Xiao Xun, you're injured?"

Zu Feng nervously grabbed Yi Xun's slender hand. Yi Xun's pretty face changed slightly as she withdrew her hand, pulling away from Zu Feng.

"Brother Zu, please mind yourself!"

Her voice was elegant with a slight hint of detachment and coldness. Zu Feng was momentarily stunned, his expression turning extremely unpleasant.

"Xiao Xun, we've been together for more than ten years, don't you understand how I feel about you?"

He pointed at himself, speaking with some agitation: "Among the major sects in the Outer Sect, I dare not say I'm the best, but in terms of talent, I'm outstanding. Why won't you accept me?"

He was extremely frustrated. In the Thunderbolt Sect, they were practically inseparable, even taking on tasks together, but Yi Xun always maintained a distant cold attitude towards him. No matter how he courted her, Yi Xun remained unmoved.

"Brother Zu, I've already said!" Yi Xun said solemnly, "To be my man, you must become an unparalleled powerhouse, at least have the strength of a sect elder, otherwise, I will never discuss this matter!"

Beside them, Yi Yue fully understood. This sister always had high pride. Among the geniuses in the Outer Sect, her talent was enough to rank in the top three, and thus she admired no one among the younger generation. This was also her source of pride.

Even for someone as strong as Zu Feng, she remained unphased.

Zu Feng's face hardened, somewhat displeased, "Xiao Xun, you're being unreasonable. Reaching the level of an elder would take at least seventy or eighty years, not to mention, who among the younger generation has that kind of talent and ability?"

Indeed, although he had reached the War King level now, he was countless miles from becoming a War Emperor, potentially staying a War King his entire life, unable to enter the War Emperor ranks. Yi Xun's requirement was simply too high.

"That's right, sister, your demands are too harsh, aren't they?"

Yi Yue also echoed, such demands probably could only be met by top geniuses within the Middle Sect or even the Inner Sect?

Yi Xun's face changed, a look of reverence and yearning suddenly appeared on her face.

"Who says there isn't?"

"Don't forget, there is the Invincible War God, Ye Jiujie!"

At these words, Zu Feng and Yi Yue were momentarily stunned.

This name was well-known to them.

In the Mortal World of Huaxia, he is currently the top legendary martial arts expert, an unrivaled extraordinary genius.

At just twenty years of age, he overpowered the likes of Yu Yaosheng, Yan Bufan, Yang Linmie, and others, reaching the top of the Hidden Dragon List.

Not only that, Ye Jiujie then went to Japan, single-handedly overturning the Japan Martial Arts World, fiercely defeating and slaying all the War God List's two Half-step War Emperors, dominating the world.

Yi Yue raised her pretty face slightly, and infinite admiration surged in her heart. Many sisters in the sect frequently mentioned this person, each offering endless praise and amazement. Some sisters even claimed, if they were to marry, they would marry Ye Jiujie.

"Ye Jiujie is unrivaled among the young, even the elders have personally admitted that they are not as strong as Ye Jiujie!"

Yi Xun seemed to be speaking about a sacred name, continuing, "Just half a month ago, I heard the elders discussing a piece of news."

"Ye Jiujie went to Tai Bang to confront the Divine Fist Sect, only to be surrounded by the combined expert forces of the World Court and the God Slaying Hall. In that battle, there were four Half-step War Emperors, twenty Peak War Kings, and three War Emperor Experts gathered!"

Zu Feng and Yi Yue's eyes widened in horror.

Such a terrifying lineup would be enough to annihilate the vast majority of Ancient Martial Sects in their Outer Sect. To kill one Ye Jiujie, the God Slaying Hall and World Court went to such great lengths, deploying so many experts.

"Sister, what was the result?"

Yi Yue asked curiously.

Yi Xun's pretty face held a smile, her voice solemn and filled with reverence.

"Ye Jiujie, with his own strength, slaughtered twenty-nine people and left gracefully!"

Her voice slowly spread out, leaving Yi Yue and Zu Feng dumbstruck, their faces filled with alarm.

"What?"

Zu Feng's eyes widened, nearly fainting from shock.

Ye Jiujie, reaching such a terrifying level, able to annihilate teams possessing the power to destroy the Outer Sect entirely?

Is he even human?
