Chapter 54: The Appearance of a Grandmaster!

TL: Etude

When a lion hunts a rabbit, it still uses its full strength. Naturally, Sun Kong and the other Grand Martial Warriors didn't underestimate Ye Tian; they attacked with all their might.

However, before Sun Kong and the others could even launch their attacks, Ye Tian struck first.

"Speed Talent!"

"Strength Talent!"

"Shadow Kill!"

He activated three talents in succession. Although it wasn't Ye Tian's full-strength attack, it was not to be underestimated. The key was that Ye Tian's speed was too fast, reaching 12 times the speed of sound. Even peak Grand Martial Warriors couldn't dodge in time.

Two ordinary Grand Martial Warriors were targeted by Ye Tian and were decapitated with a single slash, dying on the spot. All of this happened in an instant.

By the time Sun Kong and the others came to their senses, they found that they had already lost two Grand Martial Warriors, leaving only seven.

"This speed..." Sun Kong's expression changed dramatically.

This was clearly not the speed of a Grand Martial Warrior but that of a Grandmaster level, much faster than their own.

"He must have a high-level speed talent!" Sun Kong felt envious.

Having one special talent was already considered very talented. For example, although their Sun family had been greedy, using internal marriages to maintain the continuation of their blade talent, other families were still envious.

If one had two special talents, that was definitely a blessing from heaven. Moreover, each talent level was not low, making people even more envious.

"He must be killed!" Sun Kong was resolute.

He knew very well that if Ye Tian was not killed today, once he truly grew up, he could easily annihilate the Sun family.

"Kill!" The remaining Grand Martial Warriors of the Sun family charged at Ye Tian as if they were on a suicide mission.

One after another, they died at Ye Tian's hands, completely unable to cope with him. The gap in strength between the two sides was too great.

"Is this the mighty Sun family? Quite disappointing!" Ye Tian said, after killing another Grand Martial Warrior.

These Grand Martial Warriors posed no threat to him; they were too slow and too weak. In his eyes, they were as weak as infants who had just learned to crawl.

"Sun Ling, do it!" Sun Kong shouted at the only female Grand Martial Warrior, Sun Ling.

This female Grand Martial Warrior was another peak Grand Martial Warrior of the Sun family. She was already very old and didn't have much time left. Because she was a woman, her status was slightly lower than Sun Kong's.

Sun Ling charged at Ye Tian with a determined look, as if she was ready to die with him. At the same time, Sun Kong and the two remaining Grand Martial Warriors retreated quickly.

"Die!" A ferocious look appeared on Sun Ling's wrinkled face.

The next moment, her aura surged several times and then exploded.

Sun Ling's self-detonation was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Grandmaster, covering a radius of a hundred meters. All the houses within this range turned into debris, and even the ground was blasted into a large hole.

Although Sun Kong and the others retreated in time, they were still affected due to the short time and suffered injuries, vomiting blood.

"Even if Ye Tian doesn't die, he will definitely be seriously injured!" Sun Kong said excitedly.

At such a close distance, it would be difficult for Ye Tian to dodge, no matter how fast he was. Moreover, the self-detonation caused by Sun Ling's secret technique was all-encompassing and difficult to avoid. For a Grandmaster, such a self-detonation was useless because a Grandmaster could resist it with defense alone.

But Ye Tian was not a Grandmaster; his defense was far inferior to a Grandmaster's and he couldn't withstand such a self-detonation.

"It's just a pity about Sun Ling," Sun Kong thought to himself.

Compared to the survival of the Sun family, Sun Ling's death wasn't valuable.

At the same time, the people of the Sun family around them began to cry excitedly.

"Ye Tian is finally dead; our Sun family is saved!"

"Elder Sun Ling is truly great; she died with the enemy!"

"Hahaha, what's the use of Ye Tian being a genius? He still died at the hands of our Sun family!"

However, just at that moment, a mocking voice emerged from the dust and haze.

"Are you celebrating a bit too early?"

Ye Tian walked out of the lingering dust, his clothes tattered but his body unscathed.

"Impossible, how can you be unharmed?"

Sun Kong stepped back in fright, his face drained of all color. The other members of the Sun family also turned pale, their eyes filled with despair.

That was Elder Sun Ling's self-detonation, equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Grandmaster. It was an all-encompassing attack; without Grandmaster-level defense, there was no way to survive it unscathed.

Yet Ye Tian had done just that!

However, only Ye Tian himself knew that he hadn't blocked it; he was severely injured. His defense was indeed a weakness. Although he had tried to escape at 12 times the speed of sound, he was still a step too late. He hadn't expected a Grand Martial Warrior to use a self-detonation technique.

If he had anticipated it, he wouldn't have given Sun Ling the chance to self-detonate.

However, he was still several tens of meters away from the center of the explosion. Relying solely on the defense of an elite martial warrior, he was only severely injured. Under the effects of his top-tier healing talent, his injuries stabilized within a dozen seconds.

At the very least, there were no visible wounds on his surface anymore.

"I was careless!"

Ye Tian had to admit that he had underestimated the Grand Martial Warriors, but he wouldn't do so anymore.

"Run!"

Sun Kong shouted and was the first to flee.

However, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outpace Ye Tian.

In a flash of light, Ye Tian caught up with Sun Kong.

The next moment, Sun Kong's body fell to the ground.

In just a moment, Ye Tian had killed Sun Kong.

Just as Ye Tian was preparing to go on a killing spree, a heavy voice came from a distance.

"Young friend, could you do me a favor and spare these people of the Sun family?"

As the voice fell, an old man in white appeared in Ye Tian's line of sight.

"Grandmaster!"

Ye Tian recognized the man's identity at a glance.

The aura of a Grandmaster was unmistakable, something a Grand Martial Warrior couldn't compare to.

Soon, this Grandmaster came within fifty meters of Ye Tian.

"Check!"

Human: Yao Ye 

Cultivation Talent: High-level

"So, he's just an ordinary Grandmaster!"

Ye Tian no longer considered him a threat.

Given his high-level cultivation talent, his cultivation level must be at the early stage of a Grandmaster.

A mere early-stage Grandmaster, with a strength of at most 1.5 million jin, even with the amplification of elemental force, would only have 3 million jin of strength.

Ye Tian's maximum attack power could reach 6 million jin!

As for speed, an ordinary Grandmaster could have a speed of 10 times the speed of sound at best, while Ye Tian had 12 times the speed of sound, similarly overwhelming this Grandmaster.

The real advantage of this Grandmaster was his defense!

But as long as Ye Tian didn't let him injure him, defense was irrelevant.

In terms of strength, this Grandmaster was inferior to him.

"Why should I do you a favor?"

Ye Tian spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The old man, Yao Ye, looked deeply at Ye Tian: "Because I am a Grandmaster!"
