Chapter 57

At this moment, in the grand hall, the other eight people looked at the scene with various expressions, making the atmosphere in the hall become extremely delicate.

Mo Fanlong and Pang Jie, the strongest in strength, all had slightly unpleasant expressions when they saw this scene. They had the strength of the sixth level of Body Tempering, but in the end, that thing fell into the hands of Ye Zhong, who only had the fourth level of Body Tempering.

Rong Tian, Song Shaochen, and others also frowned slightly, their eyes flashing with unwillingness. They had worked hard for this inheritance, and after Ye Zhong's move, he obtained such an inheritance. Even as fellow disciples of the Star Constellation Sect, it still made them feel resentful.

As for Lei Ruoxu, Ning Yu, and Su Xuan, their eyes were extremely cold. They had already had many conflicts with Ye Zhong, and now seeing the Inherent Saint Hall fall into Ye Zhong's hands, how could this be possible!?

Therefore, under the various complex gazes, greed and killing intent began to slowly spread in the grand hall.

Clearly, with the inheritance falling into Ye Zhong's hands, the killing intent that many people had suppressed in their hearts could no longer be restrained.

Ye Zhong naturally also noticed the greedy gazes of these people. He casually flipped his hand and put away the scroll, then the Void Meditation Sword appeared in his palm, with a faint sword glow flickering on the blade.

"Whoosh—"

At this moment, Su Yu also quickly landed beside Ye Zhong. Then she gripped her hand, and a fire-red bead floated in front of her. Clearly, this was also a powerful spirit tool.

"Ye Zhong, hand over the inheritance! That belongs to my Mo family!"

The atmosphere in the grand hall did not remain tense for long. After a moment, Mo Fanlong's voice, filled with resentment and coldness, suddenly rang out. Then he moved, directly rushing out, his fierce attack enveloping Ye Zhong.

"Just you!?"

When Ye Zhong saw the injured Mo Fanlong still dare to attack, his eyes revealed unhidden killing intent. He had wanted to eliminate Mo Fanlong completely before, but had never found the opportunity. Now that this guy was coming to die, Ye Zhong would not be lenient.

"Whoosh—"

The Void Meditation Sword turned into a streak of light, instantly whistling out. This sword was like a meteor from the sky, almost impossible to trace, and in an instant, it appeared in front of Mo Fanlong, sweeping towards his throat.

Mo Fanlong's face suddenly changed, and his body, which had lunged out, forcibly paused in mid-air. Then he wildly slapped out with his palm.

"Boom—"

A deafening sound echoed in the grand hall. Then everyone saw Mo Fanlong's body stagger, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body being thrown out forcefully.

In just one move, Mo Fanlong was defeated. Clearly, he was seriously injured earlier and had lost the qualification to compete for the inheritance.

With Mo Fanlong's defeat, the gazes of the other people also instantly became somewhat strange. Ye Zhong's skills were originally not weak, and now everyone recognized the level of the spirit tool in his hand. A high-grade spirit tool! With this, Ye Zhong's strength was greatly enhanced, and even if they were envious, they were also filled with caution.

"Ye Zhong, your abilities are indeed not weak, but you can't take away this inheritance. Even if I can't stop you, after you leave the Inherent Saint Hall, my Mo family will hunt you down until you have no place to hide!" Mo Fanlong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking with a hint of unwillingness.

"You should know that such threats are useless. Moreover, if I kill you now, your Mo family won't know anything, right?" Ye Zhong smiled, then took a step forward. His movements were extremely fast, and before Mo Fanlong could react, the Void Meditation Sword in his hand was already pointing at Mo Fanlong's throat, making the originally fierce Mo Fanlong's face suddenly change.

"Ye Zhong, you dare—"

"You understand me well."

Ye Zhong smiled faintly, and in the moment Mo Fanlong was slightly stunned, Ye Zhong's wrist trembled, and a sword stroke cut through Mo Fanlong's throat. Mo Fanlong's face showed disbelief, clearly never expecting that Ye Zhong would really kill him at this moment. Was he really without any fear?

Reaching out to cover his throat, feeling the life force in his body rapidly drain away, Mo Fanlong made a gurgling sound deep in his throat. After a moment, he collapsed on the ground with a look of death and regret.

Ye Zhong's move was too fast, and in just a flash, the sixth-level Body Tempering Mo Fanlong was directly killed by him. This speed and method made the other seven people's faces instantly change, and when they looked at Ye Zhong, their gazes were filled with shock!

This Ye Zhong was actually so ruthless and decisive!

"Alright, I wonder if any of you have any objections to me obtaining the inheritance?" Ye Zhong's indifferent gaze swept around the hall, and he spoke calmly.

Song Shaochen, Rong Tian, Su Xuan, and Ning Yu exchanged glances, then simultaneously shrugged and retreated to the back. Their strength was not as great as Mo Fanlong's, and now that even Mo Fanlong had been cleanly killed by Ye Zhong, they did not want to continue getting involved in this situation. Even if they wanted to compete for the inheritance, it was not the right time now.

Thinking of this, the four of them almost simultaneously crushed the Inherent Orders in their hands, and their figures flickered, then disappeared from the grand hall, clearly being teleported out.

"What about the two of you?" Ye Zhong's gaze swept over the two people still in the hall, "Whether to leave or stay, you need to decide quickly, right?"

Lei Ruoxu stared at Ye Zhong for a moment, then glanced at the wary Su Yu. A strange light appeared in his eyes, and he laughed, "Alright, for the sake of Miss Su Yu, let's end it here. But next time, it won't be so easy!"

With a cold laugh, Lei Ruoxu casually crushed the Inherent Order in his hand, and his figure flickered, then disappeared from the grand hall.

Ye Zhong's gaze fell on the last person, Pang Jie, and a cold expression appeared on his face. He had not forgotten that Pang Jie had made a move earlier.

Pang Jie, however, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Zhong with a smile that was not quite a smile, his eyes like a venomous snake, filled with a sinister flavor.

"Alright, Young Master Ye, hand over the inheritance and the fruit from earlier. Otherwise, don't blame me for unleashing a massacre," Pang Jie did not seem to be intimidated by Ye Zhong's aura. After staring at Ye Zhong for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said.

Clearly, even Ye Zhong's methods did not shock him at all.

Seeing this, Ye Zhong and Su Yu both frowned slightly. In the next moment, Ye Zhong slowly exhaled, and the Six Burial Sword Technique in his body rapidly circulated. This Pang Jie had given Ye Zhong an extremely dangerous feeling from the beginning.

"Actually, your discernment is not bad," Pang Jie looked at the wary Ye Zhong, a mocking smile appearing on his lips, "But your discernment is only good, not knowing when to retreat is the reason for your downfall today. Hand over the items, and perhaps I'll be in a good mood and spare your life."

Ye Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Su Yu. Both of them felt something slightly off from Pang Jie's words.

"Do you really think I didn't make any preparations when I tried to seize the inheritance scroll earlier?"

Pang Jie sneered, and then his eyes changed. He slowly raised his right hand, and the jade bracelet on his wrist slowly turned to powder. As the bracelet broke, Ye Zhong and Su Yu's faces both changed.

Uninjured!

From the beginning of his sneak attack on Ye Zhong to now, Pang Jie had not been injured at all. He had been putting on a show all along!

And now, this guy was no longer hiding! His sixth-level Body Tempering strength was enough to cause Ye Zhong and Su Yu a lot of trouble.

Not to mention, the cunning of always hiding his strength and pretending to be injured already showed how difficult he was to deal with.

"Looks like you're not planning to accept my proposal?" Looking at the two people whose expressions had changed but had not made any other moves, a cold expression appeared on Pang Jie's face, "Since you're not planning to hand over the items, then I'll take them myself!"

As he spoke, Pang Jie took a step forward, and a dagger with a faint black luster appeared in his hand, making his killing intent boil to the extreme.

Pang Jie had been hiding for a long time, all for this moment.

"Die—"

The black luster on the dagger instantly spread, then turned into a black streak of light, like a hanging river, and with a wave of Pang Jie's hand, it was instantly thrown out. This dagger was at least a mid-grade spirit tool, and now, combined with Pang Jie's sixth-level Body Tempering strength, it was incredibly powerful.

"Attack together!"

Seeing this, Su Yu's face also changed, and she quickly slapped the fire-red bead. Instantly, a wall of flames appeared, blocking both Ye Zhong and herself behind it.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a cart!"

Seeing this, Pang Jie sneered, and his dagger trembled, the hanging river sweeping over and colliding fiercely with the fire wall.

"Boom—"

A violent shock wave instantly spread out wildly...
