Chapter 308 – The Eternal Second True Immortals

“A single autumn lamp, inquiring of the Dao across the horizons!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang’s lips curled into a faint smile. As his arms flexed and extended, he roared in response: “Eleventh Palm, Fish Leaps from Abyss!”

Hiss—Roar!

In an instant, a furious dragon surged skyward, not only shattering the white-clad man’s assault but coiling tightly around his entire body.

Amid wild laughter, Ye Kuang’s arm movements resembled a fierce tiger, masterfully manipulating the Wandering Dragons to unleash their innate ferocity.

“You don’t actually think such meager skill could defeat me, Sage Qianqiu, do you?”

“Then by all means, try.”

In that moment, their voices faded one after another, leaving the entire scene enmeshed in a clash of dragons and blades.

Swoosh!

Just as Ye Kuang prepared to exert his strength and crush the Dao Inquiry Realm expert before him, a piercing whistle cut through the air.

A pebble had arrived unnoticed, swift as lightning, vanishing as quickly as it appeared.

The dragon’s head was pierced open, dissolving into a mist of dust in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing this, Ye Kuang spun around, his expression unavoidably turning grave.

Unbeknownst to him, two elderly figures now crouched silently at the top of the steps, calmly setting the bones of the injured disciples.

“Endure it.”

“Yes!”

Crack, pop.

“Hiss…”

For a moment, even Ye Kuang focused intently.

He keenly felt his aura locked down by the two elders—any slight movement would provoke a thunderous strike.

In those brief moments, the two elders finished their tasks.

It was only then that Ye Kuang realized the terrifying presence of the old men.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, two oppressive forces materialized out of thin air.

Like a raging tempest, they made one feel trapped in stormy waves; like entering a tiger’s den, surrounded by wolves and predators.

Hiss!

Even someone as formidable as Ye Kuang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath!

On the other side.

Sage Qianqiu, recognizing the newcomers, straightened with reverence: “Qianqiu pays respects to Reverends Tianhuang and Dilao. Elders, you…”

As he spoke, Qianqiu couldn’t conceal his astonishment.

After all, these two elders had been renowned for ages, elusive as mythical dragons—yet now…

Reverend Tianhuang snorted coldly: “Want to know why we’re here? If we hadn’t come, you’d all be annihilated!”

Reverend Dilao sighed mournfully: “So young, merely at the Late Innate Stage, yet unexpectedly this powerful. It defies reason—baffling and truly troubling.”

But after their shock subsided, the elders’ expressions hardened, revealing identical looks.

One of sheer disappointment.

To Qianqiu, this sight made him tremble uncontrollably.

Undeniably, their words were blunt and unequivocal, starkly declaring that they stood no chance against Ye Kuang.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang murmured to himself: “Indeed, the ancients didn’t lie—older ginger is spicier.”

Overhearing this, Reverend Tianhuang flared his beard and retorted: “And you, young pepper, aren’t so mild yourself.”

“Young man, don’t be too arrogant,” Reverend Dilao sighed. “The overly prideful often meet early ends.”

From this exchange, Ye Kuang easily discerned their characters.

Reverend Tianhuang embodied fiery temper, while Reverend Dilao remained unfathomably enigmatic.However, Ye Kuang had always been wild by nature and was not one to be intimidated. He then spoke eloquently, saying, “As the saying goes, in learning there is no distinction of seniority—those who attain mastery come first. My fate has endowed me with such a temperament, for a man who is not bold in his youth has wasted his youth.”

Hearing this, Reverend Tianhuang couldn’t help but coldly retort, “But you must also know that a restless heart is the mark of a petty man.”

“A petty man?” Ye Kuang, upon hearing this, inevitably became overbearing and said with a laugh, “A nobleman is open and composed, while a petty man is always full of worries. Why should I need your guidance in my actions? As the common saying goes, heroes are never judged by their origins. If I believe something is right, I will do it, with a clear conscience. If it is wrong, I will correct it if I have erred, or remain vigilant if I have not.”

But then he shifted his tone and continued, “If boldness appears as the behavior of a petty man, then wouldn’t all the generals, kings, and ministers throughout history be petty men? You, old man, are one thing, but why speak like a child, generalizing from a single instance? I must say, you are simply an old fool.”

“You…” Reverend Tianhuang was momentarily speechless upon hearing this, only then realizing that his words had been inappropriate and that he had been outmaneuvered by a mere junior.

But in his shame and anger, he couldn’t help but shout, “You junior, how dare you insult me!”

Ye Kuang: “If words do not align, half a sentence is too many. The benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom.”

Reverend Tianhuang: “What a sharp-tongued brat! I wonder if your bones are as tough as your lip service.”

At this, Reverend Tianhuang clearly assumed a stance as if he were about to take action himself.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t resist taunting again, “What? Ashamed and angry? Planning to fight…Little did he know, before his words even faded, his entire being resembled an unsheathed battle blade, radiating sharpness and brilliance.

“Don’t mistake me for a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. I invite both of you to attack together. Otherwise, I fear I might not hold back and accidentally kill you.”

“You are utterly arrogant!!”

A furious roar echoed through the air as Reverend Tianhuang appeared utterly enraged.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh, for he felt exactly the same way!

Sii-boom!

For a moment, thunderclaps resounded incessantly in the sky, deafening to the ears.

It was the sound of Ye Kuang and Reverend Tianhuang clashing head-on repeatedly.

Thud, thud, thud, thud…

But it must be said, the exchange was incredibly swift.

One could say no one had anticipated it.

Soon, it became apparent that the two were like Wandering Dragons skimming the ground, both forced to retreat violently from the impact.

Ye Kuang forcefully planted a foot behind him, cracking the ground within a radius of ten feet before halting his retreat.

In contrast, Reverend Tianhuang’s face turned livid with rage. Not only had he been forced back, but he also seemed somewhat incredulous.

“You brat, I underestimated you.”

“Hahaha… Underestimated me? Then your old eyes aren’t completely fogged yet.”

Hearing this, Reverend Tianhuang could no longer conceal his emotions, furiously exclaiming, “You wretched junior, you’re seeking death!”

As his words reverberated through the Three-Foot Spiritual Platform, echoing repeatedly under the clear sky, Reverend Tianhuang launched another assault.

Seeing the fierce onslaught, Ye Kuang not only stabilized his stance but also gave off an illusion.

He stood like an unshakable reef in the deep sea, utterly immovable!

Just as everyone thought so, he suddenly erupted with fists and feet, transforming into a human-shaped violent dragon.

At that moment, Reverend Tianhuang’s foot came crashing down like a cleaver splitting the horizon.

Even before it landed, it carried an unstoppable momentum.

In the blink of an eye!

Sii-boom!!!Following the dull sound that pierced the air, like the beating of a heavenly drum, it left people inwardly stunned.

Little did they know, every single onlooker at the scene was left utterly dumbfounded.
