Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 286 - The Yi Pavilion’s Pavilion Master

Chapter 286 The Yi Pavilion’s Pavilion Master

He Hanyang’s eyes seemed hollower, and the area around him seemed to have become unordinary.

The integration of Heaven and man.

It was the integration of Heaven and man. When Ou Yangming rejected the request, the He family’s top-notch powerhouse instantly revealed the most outstanding side of him.

He was giving his all, even though he was fighting a small enemy. Not to mention Ou Yangming had defeated martial artists at the peak of Yang Grade in the past, even if he was only an ordinary Yin Grade martial artist, He Hanyang would not be careless at all.

Nonetheless, just as he made a move, an incredibly powerful and nearly fearsome aura descended. Even though He Hanyang was a formidable Supreme Great Ancestor, he could not help but shudder a little.

Following that, a fist wind gushed in his direction as Ou Yangming clenched his fist as he lunged at him like a ferocious tiger leaping off a mountain.

He Hanyang became focused, and his willpower became as firm as a rock at once. Regardless of the frightening aura, he was not shaken up at all. In particular, his wide eyes glowed with sharp lights, which was rather appalling

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he thought, ‘Oh no.’

He attacked first as he wanted to catch his opponent off guard. It was unexpected for a Yin Grade martial artist to attack a Supreme Great Ancestor first.

Sure enough, He Hangyang was dazed for a split second when he was attacked by the Spiritual Fist. Even so, much to Ou Yangming’s surprise, the great ancestor recovered so quickly that it was unbelievable.

The Spiritual Fist was a unique skill where Ou Yangming’s fist technique and mental power merged.

After comprehending the fist technique, he always had the upper hand in a fight, so much so that a powerhouse at the peak of Yang Grade could not resist the attack.

This was one of the reasons he was confident against a Supreme Great Ancestor.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming felt at this moment that the spiritual pressure, which he inflicted on He Hangyang, was forcibly resisted. The elder was like a gigantic stone, by which his spiritual pressure could not shake up the elder anymore other than the instant at the beginning.

If Ou Yangming could not affect He Hanyang with his spiritual pressure, how could he exchange blows with the Supreme Great Ancestor?

As such, Ou Yangming swayed and changed the course of his fist, which was directly aimed at He Hanyang. The aura that he gathered immediately declined like a deflated balloon, and he escaped backward instead of advancing further. After he flew backward and found his footing, he realized that He Hanyang did not pursue him at all.

He was stunned, and his face took on a ghastly expression.

He Hanyang looked at him coldly and remarked, “What a great spiritual pressure. No wonder Yicheng wasn’t a match for you.”

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and cast his irritation aside. At this point, he knew He Hanyang was affected by the spiritual pressure earlier, but the master’s attitude and resolution were the opposite of his expectations.

Although Ou Yangming’s continuous attacks could not bear great results, he could later retreat without a problem.

Who knew, he withdrew himself after being scared by He Hangyang, and he missed his best opportunity to attack.

Despite that, Ou Yangming was a determined person, so he would not waver because of his mistakes. He adjusted himself right away and fixed his gaze on the elder.

Needless to say, he was quite regretful because the opportunity would not appear again.

He Hanyang asked, “It’s truly hard to find a talent like you, so I’ll give you another chance —are you going to promise me?” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. “Senior, even if you ask me ten times or a hundred times, my answer remains the same.”

“Ah…” He Hanyang sighed. His voice echoed in the courtyard, but before the echo ended, he flashed away from his spot.

He arrived beside Ou Yangming like a ghost, and he was so fast that he was not inferior to the big multicolored tiger at all.

Ou Yangming swayed and took strange steps as though he was a slippery fish, which would slip away at any time. That said, not only was He Hanyang following him like a shadow, but the great ancestor was also much faster.

Under the integration of Heaven and man, Ou Yangming was still being hotly pursued.

Perhaps he could fight if he had his spear, which was a magic tool, with him. After all, the magic tool was so sharp that even a Supreme Great Ancestor would not dare to touch it at all. However, since Ou Yangming was unarmed, he could not make up the disadvantage.

The two figures danced in the courtyard, and they could not be seen by the naked eye because they were too swift.

“Boom-“

All of a sudden, He Hanyang stood still whereas Ou Yangming flew backward and hit the door, which flew away after an enormous sound was heard.

Ou Yangming had tried his best, but he was not as strong as the Supreme Great Ancestor, who apprehended the integration of Heaven and man. The young fellow was finally hit by the elder’s palm on his shoulder, and the pain was intense. Due to the massive power, he lost his footing and pushed the door.

Despite that, Ou Yangming did not panic at all, and he felt strange instead.

He Hanyang’s attack was too soft! In fact, even the Substitution Gem on Ou Yangming’s waist sash did not shatter. Of course, regardless of the great ancestor’s weird thought, Ou Yangming was not going to wait to die. As soon as he flew backward, he gathered a red light on his palm.

He had prepared the small fireball, and He Hanyang would instantly be hit by the forceful secret technique if he continued to attack.

While the small fireball would not be as horrifying as the giant fireball, by which it could not threaten the Supreme Great Ancestor’s life, He Hanyang would suffer a huge blow.

Nonetheless, instead of making another attack, He Hanyang stopped and uttered, “Ou Yangming, I’ll ask you for the third time.”

Ou Yangming stood still and got into an odd stance. He put his hand behind his back as though he was grabbing something, and he answered without any hesitation, “I’ve answered you already!”

He Hanyang looked deeply at him, and he somehow looked regretful.

Ou Yangming’s eyes were bright. Under the Supreme Great Ancestor’s pressure, his energy, essence, and spirit rose to brand new heights. His essential Qi circulated in his body, and the mental power in his sea of consciousness was ready to launch.

It seemed like the mightiness of the combination of his martial art and his mental power would be revealed soon.

At that crucial moment, a sonorous voice was heard. “Brother He, aren’t you bullying the Yi Pavilion thinking that nobody’s here?”

There was a subtle change in the atmosphere the moment the fight was about to break out. Ou Yangming clenched his fist and curbed the power that he was going to release.

He Hanyang seemed to not be surprised by the voice as he commented, “If I wanted to kill him, I could’ve done that when I attacked him with my palm.”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows. It seemed like that was the case, and He Hanyang held back indeed, but would the outcome change even if he gave his all?

A thin elder walked out from the dark. He nodded at Ou Yangming from afar and responded to the great ancestor, “Brother He, Master Ou has just earned the Advanced Blacksmith’s title, and he became closely acquainted with Master Jin Shengjie and Master Wu Hongxi. Master Wu even said he wants to invite him to join his smithing team for the magic tool. Have you not heard?”

He Hanyang asked with a straight face, “So what if I heard about it?”

The thin elder smiled plainly. “Since you’ve heard of Master Ou, do you really dare to kill him?”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. He Hanyang displayed great momentum when he appeared as if he wanted to kill the young fellow, but his palm attack exposed his real thought; he was deep in fear.

He Hanyang finally turned around and expressed coldly, “Brother Bai, I don’t want to offend the blacksmith masters in the capital, but for the sake of Changlong County and Linlang County, some things must be done even if it means offending everyone in the world!”

“Including killing me?” Ou Yangming asked as he took a step forward.

“If you insist on not backing away, I’ll definitely kill you for the sake of countless other lives!” He Hanyang stared at the young fellow coldly, and his words were so spine-chilling that the air seemed to have frozen.

The thin elder flashed and stood between them.

“Brother He, regardless of the grudge between you, Master Ou is the Yi Pavilion’s guest.” He looked at He Hanyang without showing a weak impression.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t plan to kill him anyway.” He Hanyang could not help but laugh. He later turned and walked outside, but his voice could be heard. “Ou Yangming, you better behave.”

As the thin elder watched He Hanyang leave, he shook his head and said, “Master Ou, you must’ve been frightened.”

Ou Yangming quickly responded, “Thank you for your saving grace, senior, but you’re…” The elder answered, “I’m Bai Cangling. Ah, may I know why there’s an enmity between you and that old man?”

“Ah, you’re the pavilion master. Please forgive me.” Ou Yangming’s face changed. He forced a smile and continued, “It’s hard to explain the resentment between me and the He family…”

Seeing as Ou Yangming was not going to talk about the matter in-depth, Bai Cangling let it be. He noted, “Master Ou, no matter what it is, as long as you’re in the Yi Pavilion and the capital, I guarantee that you won’t be threatened by them.”

Ou Yangming was rather moved. “Thank you, Sir Bai.”

“Master Ou, you don’t have to be so polite, it’s the Yi Pavilion’s duty.” Bai Cangling chuckled. He then remarked with a faint smile, “But if it wasn’t because the old man came to stir up trouble, I wouldn’t know that you’re a martial arts powerhouse!”
