Unable to believe the scene before him.

He never expected that at such a time, trouble would still arise.

He could understand the stance of Deputy Hall Master Qiu of the Law Enforcement Hall, as this person had previously joined forces with Yin Tianxiu to punish him.

But who were these three old fellows?

Ye Han did not remember having any grudges with these three people, and their faces were completely unfamiliar to him.

"Heavenly Sword Elder, what do you mean?"

In an instant, another figure appeared outside the battlefield.

Elder Ji!

Ye Han’s cold expression softened somewhat, surprised that Elder Ji would show up at this moment.

"Disciple competitions have always had unexpected events. Moreover, Ye Han, being the weaker one, defeating the stronger, should be relentless and do his utmost. Killing Luo Tianzheng is also understandable under the circumstances."

Elder Ji stared at the Heavenly Sword Elder, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Haha, understandable?"

The Heavenly Sword Elder’s face was stern, his gaze like a sword: "Without rules, there is no order. Ye Han broke the rules and should be punished!"

Elder Ji was about to speak when the Earth Sword Elder stepped forward: "Ji Yuanming, you are just an ordinary elder. You are not qualified to protect this outer sect disciple. Step back, lest you bring shame upon yourself."

The three great sword elders—Heaven, Earth, and Man—were all powerful figures in the academy, each more domineering than the last.

"That’s right, Ji Yuanming. If you dare to say more, you will be seen as colluding with this boy, and you will be suppressed as well."

The Man Sword Elder sneered coldly and spoke up.

"You three, esteemed sword elders, targeting me, an outer sect disciple? What past grievances do we have?"

Ye Han no longer remained silent and stepped forward.

His will was now strong. Although the three great sword elders were unfathomable and held unimaginable positions, Ye Han was not afraid.

"Targeting?"

"You flatter yourself. You, an insignificant outer sect disciple, dared to kill in broad daylight, and you deserve the death penalty."

The Heavenly Sword Elder glanced at Ye Han.

"Death penalty?"

Ye Han spoke directly, staring at the Heavenly Sword Elder: "Luo Tianzheng was just an ordinary outer sect disciple. He dared to show me murderous intent, so he deserved to die."

"What did you say?"

The Heavenly Sword Elder’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.

Dare to talk back to him?

"Am I wrong? The Path of Humanity is one of the six legacies of the academy."

"I, Ye Han, am the sole successor and disciple of the Path of Humanity. If he wanted to kill me, it means he harbored ill intentions and plotted against the academy, attempting to sever the legacy of one of the six paths. This is a grave offense, and he deserves to die."

Ye Han stared at the Heavenly Sword Elder, his voice thunderous: "He deserved to die by my sword. Not to mention Luo Tianzheng, even if he were an inner sect disciple with a special status, if he wanted to kill me and sever the legacy of the Path of Humanity, it would be a serious crime, and he would deserve to die."

Who can't throw accusations around?

When it comes to verbal sparring, Ye Han could make these three great sword elders shut up.

Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Ye Han had seen this clearly.

He was grateful that Elder Ji spoke up for him.

However, he also saw clearly that Elder Ji could not do much.

As an ordinary elder in the academy, Elder Ji had no say compared to the three great sword elders who held important positions and had special statuses.

The Heavenly Sword Elder was extremely surprised, never expecting Ye Han to have such a response.

This teenager, only in his teens, spoke with such sharpness that it left the three elders momentarily speechless.

Successor of the Path of Humanity!

These five words struck deeply in their hearts.

Putting aside strength, in terms of status and position, Ye Han, as the successor of the Path of Humanity, was indeed significant.

Moreover, among the six paths of the academy, the other five had many disciples and numerous geniuses. The Path of Humanity was widely recognized as the hardest to cultivate and the weakest, with few willing to join it.

Furthermore, Li Futu, the master of the Path of Humanity, was very strict in accepting disciples, resulting in the Path of Humanity having only Ye Han as a disciple.

"Smooth talker! Impudent!"

The Heavenly Sword Elder’s face changed, his demeanor extremely fierce.

In his deep eyes, boundless authority erupted.

The momentum was like a flood, pressing down on Ye Han, blocking all his escape routes.

Rumble!

Ye Han gritted his teeth, his body trembling.

It felt as if a primordial divine mountain had appeared above his head, trying to crush him to the ground.

In this brief moment, Ye Han’s body seemed about to burst, extreme pain spreading through his limbs and bones.

"Why should I kneel?"

Ye Han clenched his fists, frantically mobilizing his yuan energy.

Deep in his qi sea, nine divine powers surged, coursing through his meridians and bones, helping him resist the external pressure.

Unfathomable, unimaginable.

This was the aura of the Heavenly Sword Elder. The gap between the two was immeasurable.

In this person’s eyes, Ye Han was no different from an ant on the ground, capable of being crushed dozens or even hundreds of times with a single thought.

"Kneel!"

In a daze, Ye Han seemed to hear the Heavenly Sword Elder’s voice like a great bell.

His eardrums were ringing, the rolling sound waves entering his mind, trying to scatter Ye Han’s true will, making him kneel and admit his fault on the spot.

Fault?

What fault?

You, a respected elder of the academy, suddenly appear and target me, an outer sect disciple, without any reason?

Crack, crack…

Ye Han’s flesh and bones were cracking, his blood threatening to burst out of his body.

On one side, Elder Ji’s yuan energy surged, taking a step forward.

But the moment Elder Ji moved, the Earth Sword Elder and the Man Sword Elder stepped forward simultaneously.

These two elders sneered, stepping out to the left and right, their battle swords blocking Elder Ji’s path.

Sword qi and cold light flickered, pressing down on Elder Ji, as if ready to erupt and kill him on the spot.

"You… esteemed sword elders, would you stoop so low to target an outer sect disciple?" Elder Ji’s face was extremely ugly.

Such a thing, if it were to be known, would be unimaginable and a laughingstock.

No matter how domineering, how powerful, or how trouble-making Ye Han was, it was just a grudge between some disciples. How could it involve great figures like the sword elders?

In the front of the earth.

Ye Han’s body, under the immense pressure, kept sinking, but he refused to kneel, even unto death.

His knees felt as if they were about to be crushed, his entire body in excruciating pain, on the verge of falling apart.

Bang!!

Suddenly, Ye Han bent his knee, his right arm slamming down hard.

The earth beneath his feet cracked, countless fissures spreading out.

Supporting himself with one hand on the ground, Ye Han struggled to lift his head, a bone-chilling light flashing in his eyes:

"Heaven and Earth, all paths of the universe!"

"Besides my parents, no one can make me, Ye Han, kneel. Heavenly Sword Elder, what are you?"

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Ye Han!

If the Heavenly Sword Elder truly had doubts about his killing Luo Tianzheng, it would not be hard to understand.

However, this person was clearly looking for trouble!

Today, at the academy’s grand assembly, with countless experts and disciples watching.

If he really knelt, it would be a tremendous humiliation!

Absolutely not!
