C15 Again He Was Beaten up

"Bang!" Their hands collided with a resounding impact.

Cheng Yu, with his aggressive approach, felt the backlash of Ye Feng's forceful grip, causing him to stumble back three steps.

"He truly is at Body Tempering Rank Seven," Elder Bai acknowledged with a nod.

"Grandma, what does that mean?" Bai Yunxue inquired, puzzled.

Elder Bai turned to her with a look of surprise. "You don't know?"

Bai Yunxue's confusion deepened. "Know what, exactly?"

Realizing his granddaughter's bewilderment, Elder Bai understood that she might only know Ye Feng by name and had yet to delve into his background.

With a sigh of resignation, Elder Bai gently ruffled Bai Yunxue's hair. "My dear, I worry about you. How will you manage when you venture out for your own trials? Acting without full knowledge is perilous in the world of martial arts."

"Oh, Grandma, I get it now. But please, can you tell me what I need to know?" Bai Yunxue implored, giving Elder Bai a playful scowl.

Left with no other choice, Elder Bai proceeded to recount Ye Feng's history.

"Wow, so he's really that impressive?" Bai Yunxue exclaimed, her gaze towards Ye Feng now filled with respect.

While they conversed, Chen Yu was being relentlessly pushed back by Ye Feng, unable to mount any defense.

"Yu'er!" Elder Chen called out in alarm.

Chen Yu, narrowly evading another of Ye Feng's assaults, clenched his teeth and retrieved a dark pill from his sleeve, swallowing it whole.

In just a moment, his presence surged, astonishingly reaching the Body Tempering Peak.

Ye Feng's brow furrowed; he was well aware that Chen Yu had ingested a pill designed to momentarily enhance one's strength.

"Kid, don't go toe-to-toe with him; that pill's effects are temporary."

As Ye Feng contemplated his strategy, a familiar voice reached his ears from behind.

The crowd turned towards the source of the voice, only to see the same disheveled old man.

"Grandma, who is that?" Bai Yunxue asked. The old man had been out of the public eye for many years, and only a handful of elders could still recall him.

"He is the Tower Guarding Elder," Elder Bai said with a respectful bow to the old man.

Elder Chen was aware that a Tower Guarding Elder existed within the Nine-level Demon Tower, but he had never been privileged enough to witness the elder's visage.

Seeing Elder Bai bow, he reluctantly offered the old man the same courtesy.

"Don't pay me any mind. Please, continue," the old man said with a dismissive wave of his hand before casually taking a seat on a nearby rock. He pulled out his Wine Gourd and began to drink heartily.

Noticing that Chen Yu showed no intention of intervening, Elder Chen felt a bit more at ease. He signaled to Chen Yu with a look, urging him to go in for the kill.

The disparity between levels within the Body Tempering Stage wasn't significant, but the higher the level, the greater the capacity for Spiritual Force. Chen Yu, now surging with Spiritual Force, could unleash powerful moves he had previously hesitated to use.

With an abundance of Spiritual Force to bolster him, Chen Yu's strikes became merciless.

The tide of the battle shifted, with Chen Yu now dominating Ye Feng.

As another punch hurtled towards Ye Feng's face, he was about to defend himself when the old man's voice interrupted.

"Kid, think about the movements of the puppets in the Demon Tower."

The old man's words caused Ye Feng to hesitate in his defense.

This hesitation cost him the opportunity to guard, and Ye Fann had no choice but to sidestep, narrowly evading Chen Yu's assault.

Chen Yu, elated by another miss, taunted, "Weren't you boasting earlier? Now all you do is dodge?"

Ye Feng remained silent, his icy gaze tracking Chen Yu's every move.

In his mind, he replayed the movements of the Five Elements Puppets from the Nine-level Demon Tower.

After taking a deep breath, it seemed he had an epiphany.

"Blow Away Fist!" Chen Yu launched another attack, pressing Ye Feng even harder, convinced his opponent had no counter.

To his astonishment, Ye Feng didn't attempt to dodge this time.

Confronted with the ferocious strike, Ye Feng abruptly altered his technique.

His left hand shaped into a palm, his right into a claw, countering the fist with the claw and using the palm to guide.

Chen Yu's punch connected with Ye Feng's right hand, causing Ye Feng's brow to furrow. He suppressed the tumultuous Qi and blood within him and pivoted, redirecting the incoming force to the side.

As they brushed past each other, Ye Feng leveraged the momentum and delivered a powerful palm strike to Chen Yu's back.

"Puff!" The impact was not solely from Ye Feng's Spiritual Force; it also included the energy from Chen Yu's own punch.

The combined forces meant that Chen Yu had essentially been hit by his own strongest blow, followed by Ye Feng's palm strike.

Stumbling forward, Chen Yu eventually crashed heavily to the ground.

"Young man, you dare to harm my grandson? You're seeking death!" Elder Chen, witnessing his grandson's injury, threw caution to the wind and launched a punch straight at Ye Feng's chest.

This youngster was advancing too quickly. If he were allowed to reach his potential, he would pose a significant threat. Elder Chen had no intention of letting a nobody surpass him.

"Old fellow, isn't it inappropriate for a senior to intervene in the sparring of the younger generation?" No one anticipated that Elder Chen would cast aside his pride and strike Ye Feng. Just as his palm was about to hit Ye Feng, a disheveled figure stepped in front.

The punch, potent enough to disable Ye Feng, was effortlessly deflected with a mere twig.

Elder Chen was seething with rage, yet more than that, he was astounded.

As a peak Spirit Astral practitioner, how could his all-out strike be neutralized so effortlessly? Only if the raggedy elder before him was significantly more powerful.

This realization made the situation even more unbearable for Elder Chen.

He was a direct descendant of a prestigious line; how could he be outmatched by a shabby old man?

"Senior, my quarrel is solely with that young man. I would advise you to refrain from getting involved."

"I'm aware that the Chen family is a formidable force in the city below, but upon joining this sect, you must adhere to its rules. And within these rules, there is no provision for an elder to interfere with a disciple's sparring," the old man stated calmly.

"As for the sect's rules, this young man has not shown the proper respect since we first met. As an elder, I certainly have the authority to discipline the disciples of the sect," Elder Chen retorted.
