"This Ye Tiancheng, truly has a knack for mockery."
Everyone present thought to themselves.
They could all hear it; how could the Liang Family Ancestor not?
But the latter truly couldn’t do anything to the other.
Firstly, there was nothing wrong with Ye Tiancheng’s question. After all, it was natural to be curious when the Liang Family Ancestor boasted so much about himself.
Secondly, Ye Tiancheng had the backing of the Ye Family, which even the Liang Family Ancestor wouldn’t dare to offend.
"Hmph."
The Liang Family Ancestor had no choice but to withdraw his oppressive aura, snorting, "When did I ever claim to be the number one under heaven?"
He was confident that his prowess in swordsmanship could rank him at least in the top three of the current age.
However, in terms of combat power, it would be difficult to rank him even in the top twenty...
The reason was simple: while the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect technique was powerful, it was not invincible.
There were martial arts techniques even stronger than the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!
For instance, the Undying Golden Body. He had once fought a Celestial Realm Martial Artist who had cultivated this technique for three days and nights. No matter how he attacked, he couldn’t cause any harm, but a single punch from the opponent sent his blood and energy surging, forcing him back a hundred steps.
Another example was the No Desire Technique. Some who mastered this technique could wield ordinary sword techniques with power far surpassing the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect. This technique had defeated him once, and he had to go into seclusion for a hundred years to recover from the internal injuries. Since then, whenever he heard that person’s name, his hands and feet would turn cold.
The most terrifying were certain Divine Demon Martial Arts techniques.
Those who mastered these were like gods or demons on earth, capable of overwhelming feats.
Such individuals might still exist in today’s world.
"I understand now. Thank you, senior."
Ye Tiancheng smiled slightly.
He wasn’t a fool. He simply couldn’t stand the other’s condescension in their presence.
In terms of combat power, any one of the Ye Family’s many ancestors could suppress the other with ease.
"Brother Ye, you’ve got nerve!"
"Brother Ye, well done."
People around him gave him thumbs-up.
Indeed, Ye Tiancheng had voiced the indignation they all felt. The old man no longer seemed as arrogant as before.
With this disruption, the Liang Family Ancestor’s momentum indeed diminished.
He waved his hand and said, "Fine, this Cyan Dragon Fruit is mine. You all came from somewhere, now go back there."
After saying this, he sat down nearby, starting to meditate and regulate his breath to restore his True Qi.
Of course, although the Cyan Dragon Fruit was a must-have, he couldn’t let his guard down. He restored his True Qi while also sensing the surrounding aura.
Chen Fan frowned at this scene.
His gaze shifted to the Cyan Dragon Fruit behind the Ancestor.
The fruit was just palm-sized, with a blue surface and dark patterns. It didn’t look like a dragon, so why was it called the Cyan Dragon Fruit?
But this wasn’t the time for complaints.
Judging by its appearance, the fruit would fully ripen in two or three minutes.
"Good."
Chen Fan’s heart relaxed.
Even if he was a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, the True Qi restoration speed far exceeded that of a True Essence Realm Martial Artist. It was still impossible to restore all his True Qi so quickly.
The plan remains unchanged.
On the other side, everyone was whispering.
"What now? Just leave like this?"
Someone said reluctantly.
They had made thorough preparations and paid a significant price to compete for this Cyan Dragon Fruit, and now they were forced to give up without a fight?
"What else can we do?"
A sigh echoed, "The Liang Family Ancestor isn’t someone we can contend with. Even if we all join forces, we wouldn’t be his match."
"Yes, he even killed that Dragon Rhinoceros easily. If it were us, it wouldn’t be so easy even if we could kill it."
"But he used a lot of his energy just now; maybe we have a chance?"
"Are you looking to die? Saying such things?"
Others were shocked and quickly covered his mouth.
The old man had sharp ears and must have heard it already.
"Let’s go. There’s no point staying. We can’t just watch him pick the Cyan Dragon Fruit, can we?"
"Exactly."
Some shook their heads and started to head back.
Some, however, rolled their eyes, thinking to stay in case an opportunity arose.
Time ticked by, and the Cyan Dragon Fruit’s blue skin suddenly began to peel, revealing red flesh and emitting a fragrant aroma.
"It’s ripe."
The Liang Family Ancestor, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Just as he stood up to pick it, a golden figure rushed towards him!
To be precise, towards the Cyan Dragon Fruit behind him.
The scene happened too quickly for anyone to react or even see what happened. There was a flash of golden light.
Until an angry voice erupted.
"How dare you!"
The Liang Family Ancestor was furious; he never expected someone to actually dare to snatch from him!
In haste, he flicked his finger forward.
