Chapter 13

"Ha...!"

Ye Han spat out a large mouthful of blood, his internal organs pierced by a powerful force, his body feeling as if it were about to explode.

The gap was too great!

Lu Yunxiao was not someone who could be compared to the Li Kai he had killed before.

"Brat, I'll cripple you!"

Lu Yunxiao, enduring the intense pain from his split palm, took a sudden step forward, causing the earth to tremble.

His body seemed to teleport, appearing directly in front of Ye Han, and with a single palm strike, he sent Ye Han, who was struggling to stand, flying, causing another mouthful of blood to gush out.

With that one palm, Lu Yunxiao had infused three divine powers into Ye Han's body.

In that instant, Ye Han's primordial energy was shattered by the impact of the three divine powers, and less than one-tenth of his remaining primordial energy in his dantian was forcefully suppressed.

The three divine powers circulated through Ye Han's meridians, impacting his body, causing a pain as if his flesh were being torn apart, making it impossible for Ye Han to struggle, almost fainting on the spot.

Lying on the ground, Ye Han forced down the blood rising in his throat, hurriedly using the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique to restore his primordial energy, his fierce gaze fixed on Lu Yunxiao.

Unrestrained, lawless, life and death decided in a single thought!

Is this what a disciple of the Samsara Academy is like?

"Stop!"

Just as Lu Yunxiao was about to take another step, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Han's gaze immediately shifted, and he saw a girl in a red robe, roughly his age, running over angrily.

Seeing the fierce expression on Lu Yunxiao's face, she shrank back, her voice weakening: "H-How can you hit people?"

"You mustn't touch him!"

The girl, with bright eyes and fair skin, immediately spread her arms to protect Ye Han, trying her best to meet Lu Yunxiao's gaze.

Watching this scene, Ye Han's heart trembled.

"Hit people? I'll cripple him!" Lu Yunxiao's face was fierce, looking at the girl in the red robe as if she were an idiot: "Get out of the way!"

This girl was only at the Eighth Heaven of the Gathering Essence Realm!

Such a weakling, even weaker than Ye Han, dared to stop him, Lu Yunxiao, from acting?

Wasn't this asking for death?

"No!"

The girl was resolute, her face determined.

Lu Yunxiao's palm struck out, his face twisted: "Then you'll die with this brat!"

"Move aside."

Ye Han, with a sudden burst of strength, suddenly flipped up, grabbed the girl's arm, and pulled her behind him, forcing himself to stand in front of her.

Humans are not plants; how could they be without feelings? Ye Han could not bear to watch such a kind girl die because of him.

He had been picked up by the Ye family, and his adoptive father and Ye Zhihua had pretended to care for him for years before finally crippling him. No matter how much pain he had endured, his heart was still warm.

Boom!!

Lu Yunxiao's palm was merciless, a true killing move, extinguishing all life.

Life and death were just a moment apart!

In that split second, Ye Han suddenly became calm, his cold eyes fixed on the palm.

His mind and consciousness reached an unprecedented state of clarity, everything in the world becoming void, leaving only that violent palm in Ye Han's eyes.

Buzz...

The suppressed primordial energy in Ye Han's dantian finally began to flow.

He desperately used the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique, using the last bit of primordial energy to connect with the Nine Realms Dragon Suppressing Tower inside his body.

Under the immense pressure, Ye Han finally managed to open the Dragon Suppressing Tower, and a drop of pure five-clawed golden dragon aura escaped.

Yes, just one drop, instantly merging into Ye Han's entire body.

But this drop was the result of the dragon aura being compressed and condensed, reaching a liquid state.

Ye Han's injuries were immediately healed, and his primordial energy was continuously replenished and transformed.

Even his arm bones creaked, undergoing a fundamental change of splitting and reorganizing in an instant.

With a loud thud, Ye Han was sent flying by a wave of energy, landing right in the girl's arms.

But something incredible happened.

Lu Yunxiao, in disbelief, looked at the scene in front of him. His palm had not actually touched Ye Han but had encountered an invisible wall halfway, which had nullified the attack.

Then, a powerful counterforce struck from the invisible wall, causing Lu Yunxiao to scream in pain as he was sent flying a hundred meters away, lying on the ground, spitting out blood uncontrollably.

"Even a common disciple of the Samsara Academy dares to lay a hand on my daughter, Chu Tianxin."

"Chu Tianxin!"

Lu Yunxiao stared at the middle-aged man who had appeared, his voice trembling.

Ye Han also noticed the man, who was tall and imposing, with piercing eyes, walking with the grace of a dragon, exuding an aura of authority.

"Chu Dean, it was my mistake, I deserve to die, I... I didn't mean to hurt anyone, please forgive me..."

Thud!!

In the next moment, Lu Yunxiao actually knelt down.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong had become an instinct; he was terrified to have provoked such a person.

Chu Tianxin, one of the deputy deans of the Burning Moon Academy, one of the three great academies in the Tai Xu Ancient Domain, had dominated the Tai Xu Ancient Domain for years, a true hero and overlord, far beyond the reach of a mere Lu Yunxiao.

Based on what had just happened, Chu Tianxin could have killed Lu Yunxiao on the spot, and the Samsara Academy would have no grounds to hold him accountable.

Seeing Lu Yunxiao kneel, countless eyes focused on him, but he didn't care; he only wanted to survive the day.

Fortunately, Chu Tianxin, after glancing at his daughter, who was not truly injured, stopped in front of Lu Yunxiao: "For the sake of the Samsara Academy, I will spare your life today."

"Thank you, Senior, for your mercy!"

Lu Yunxiao, trembling with fear, crawled away.

"Are you okay?"

Beside Ye Han, the girl in the red robe blinked her eyes, like a clear pool of water.

"Thank you, I'm fine!"

Ye Han gazed at her exquisite, unblemished face, responding softly.

"It's good that you're okay..."

Realizing that Ye Han was still lying in her arms, the girl's voice suddenly became as soft as a mosquito's, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

"You're a good young man!"

Chu Tianxin walked up to the two, his aura slightly收敛, calmly observing Ye Han.

"Thank you, Senior, for your help. I, Ye Han, will repay this favor!" Ye Han struggled to stand up, bowing to Chu Tianxin.

"No need for that, I was also saving this girl." Chu Tianxin now seemed more approachable.

Chu Tianxin clearly had some goodwill towards Ye Han, who had stood up to protect the girl in the red robe at a critical moment. Otherwise, with his status, a mere Gathering Essence Realm person like Ye Han would not even be worthy of his attention.

Not far away, a group of people also approached, all of them accompanying Chu Tianxin and the girl from the Samsara Academy. One of the elders said apologetically: "The Samsara Academy's disciples are unruly, and we have not disciplined them strictly enough, almost causing trouble for Dean Chu. Please forgive us. Lu Yunxiao will be punished according to the academy's rules."

"It's fine, it's a small matter!"

Chu Tianxin waved his hand casually. He was a great figure and would not take it to heart.

He had also given the Samsara Academy some face; otherwise, even if Lu Yunxiao had not harmed the girl in the red robe, the outcome today would have been clear.

"We'll be going back now, we'll catch up later!" Chu Tianxin said.

"Alright!"

The people from the Samsara Academy all nodded.

"I'm Ye Han, what's your name?"

At this moment, Ye Han looked at the girl in the red robe, who was standing slightly bowed, quietly.
