Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 9 - 008: Crushing Along the Way

Wu Dou, who has reached the Mid Stage of the Ninth Layer of Body Refinement, unexpectedly couldn't withstand even a single move from Xiao Ye! Moreover, the vast majority of people in the arena were still confused, not understanding how Wu Dou was defeated.

Wu Dou was thrown about, disoriented; when he got back up and looked at Xiao Ye on the stage, he was completely dumbfounded.

The three village chiefs sat at the same table.

"Old Man Xiao, what's going on here? Wasn't it said that Xiao Ye has just woken up? His strength doesn't seem like that of someone who has just broken through to the Ninth Layer of Body Refinement," Shi Zhan, with his sparse hair, said with a flash in his eyes.

Xiao Tianxiong, with a face full of shock, smiled wryly and shook his head: "This, I am not clear about either."

Judging by Xiao Tianxiong's demeanor, which did not seem deceitful, Shi Zhan and Wu Shi exchanged glances with different expressions.

"It seems this young fellow is no simple character," Shi Zhan finally said after a long pause.

"Hmph! No matter how formidable he is, he can't compare to Xiao Teng," Wu Shi snorted coldly.

He had allowed his granddaughter to send a marriage proposal to Xiao Teng, having placed all his bets on the other party; naturally, he did not wish for Xiao Teng to lose to Xiao Ye.

In fact, everyone firmly believed that after Xiao Teng used the Jiao Snake Blood, his strength had far surpassed that of Xiao Ye.

...

While everyone was astonished, Xiao Ye had already stepped down from the stage.

"Good job, you brat!" Xiao Yang said, laughing happily. Xiao Ye had truly helped him save face.

Overjoyed, he didn't pursue further questions about Xiao Ye's strength.

The marriage selection martial arts contest continued, with one young man after another taking the stage. Most of them were evenly matched in strength, and it even took hundreds of moves to conclude their duels.

With Xiao Ye's stunning performance of defeating an opponent with a single move, these duels seemed lackluster in comparison, and even the cheering from the crowd below the stage became much sparser.

At the same time, many beautiful young ladies quietly cast their glances in the direction where Xiao Ye was, their eyes brimming with admiration.

Finally, half an hour later, it was Xiao Ye's turn to take the stage again. When his opponent heard Xiao Ye's name, his complexion instantly changed. After a moment of struggle, he mustered the courage to attack Xiao Ye but was still defeated by a single move.

One move!

One move!

One move!

...

Xiao Ye took the stage several times, each time defeating his opponent with one move. By the end, whenever Xiao Ye entered the ring, a thunderous cheer would erupt from the crowd.

Xiao Ye was an unstoppable force in the fray, leaving all others unable to raise their heads, firmly capturing the attention of everyone in the arena and becoming the most prominent focal point.

Hearts of the girls below the stage fluttered, their attention to the young men seated on the five tiger thrones greatly diminished.

Alone, he dominated all his peers participating in the melee, what a demeanor and dominance that was!

Even some pretty young ladies couldn't hold back any longer and, with blushing faces, approached Luo Meilan, handing over their marriage proposals.

Generally speaking, a girl would only give a marriage proposal to one boy, but this wasn't always the case. In the history of Green Sun Town, there had been instances where a girl regretted her decision and transferred her proposal to someone else. Because the marriage selection was mutual, the men could choose the women, and the women could also choose the men.

But such cases were extremely rare after all.

With the first young lady taking the lead, it immediately caused a sensation, prompting other young ladies to follow suit and submit their marriage proposals.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Before long, Luo Meilan had a thick stack of marriage proposals in front of her, making her grin from ear to ear.

Previously, she had been upset because Xiao Ye had not received any proposals, but now, all the unhappiness had dissipated.

"Damn it, I'm gonna kill myself, my goddess actually transferred her proposal!"

"Let's do it together then, my Yue'er also transferred her proposal, my heart is shattered." Curses and wails resounded throughout the area, with murderous glares targeting Xiao Ye.

"Damn it!" Xiao Teng, seated on the first tiger chair, gripped the armrest tightly, his body trembling with rage, deforming the armrest.

Among the girls who transferred their proposals, a majority had initially given them to him—this was an outright humiliation!

"Damn, damn it! I must crush you!" roared Xiao Teng inwardly in a frenzy.

Because of the excessive number of girls transferring their proposals, the scene momentarily turned chaotic, forcing Xiao Dashan to step in to maintain order and announce that the marriage selection martial arts contest would continue.

Xiao Ye frowned on the stage. With over six hundred men participating in the marriage selection, he felt impatient, not knowing when it would end—it was like asking an adult to fight with a child.

"Uncle Shan, let them all come up at once," Xiao Ye said to Xiao Dashan.

The initially noisy venue suddenly fell silent, you could hear a pin drop, and everyone stared blankly at Xiao Ye, even the three village chiefs were shocked.

Let everyone go up at once? Isn't that too exaggerated?

"Ridiculous!" Xiao Tianxiong stood up and yelled loudly.

The chaotic fight of the marriage selection was a round by round screening, only until the strongest one was determined, could they sit on the sixth tiger chair.

Now that only half of the chaos had passed, this also meant that at least three hundred people had not been eliminated, and among these three hundred, there were quite a few old hands who had participated in the marriage selection several times.

Expecting Xiao Ye to fight so many people at once? How could he possibly win! Fighting is blind, and if he couldn't hold back, Xiao Ye might even face a threat to his life.

"This kid is too arrogant, let's go, beat him to death!" Xiao Ye's words incited a boiling uproar in the venue, and the scene became chaotic for a moment.

Because of the matter of the proffered engagement card, the participants of the marriage fight had already been holding back their anger, and now they ignored even Xiao Tianxiong's command to stop, jumping onto the stage one after another, preparing to give Xiao Ye a beating to vent their rage.

Fortunately, considering the need to make room for punches and kicks, the platform had been built large enough to accommodate more than three hundred people.

"Brothers, go, beat this kid to death!" A few old hands deliberately shouted loudly, the limelight of the marriage fight had been stolen by Xiao Ye, and the beautiful ladies had also been attracted by Xiao Ye, they itched with hatred.

As several old hands shouted, they hid in the crowd. Many impulsive youths, with their heads heated, shouted loudly and swarmed towards Xiao Ye.

"Ye'er!" Seeing that the scene had completely gotten out of control, Xiao Yang and Luo Meilan's faces turned pale from below the stage.

"Elder Shi, Elder Wu, hurry and save him! If something happens to Xiao Ye, I'll go all out with you!" Xiao Tianxiong's face was grim as he charged toward the stage.

Among these three hundred people, the majority were from Shi Family Village and Wu Family Village.

Shi Zhan and Wu Shi did not dare to delay, and followed by charging up. Xiao Ye was a true genius, and if he were to be damaged in their hands, Xiao Tianxiong would surely seek them out for a life-and-death struggle.

On the stage, Xiao Ye looked at the few old hands hiding in the crowd, his face full of disdain.

These guys didn't dare to come forward, but incited others to take action, truly despicable.

Faced with three hundred people alone, Xiao Ye's heart blossomed with heroism. He clenched his fists, and his body burst out with crackling sounds like frying beans, a powerful force coursing through his body.

His body was already tempered to the utmost of the Body Refining Realm, even without using True Qi, he could exert the strength of the Peak of the Ninth Body Refining Realm.

And among these people, including those old hands, the most powerful were only at the Late Stage of Body Refining Ninth Layer.

"Fierce Tiger Fist!"

Xiao Ye's handsome face held a trace of coldness, like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey, he collided with the rushing figures.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Screams mixed with dull collision sounds echoed through the entire Central Square, figures were blasted off the platform by the powerful force, that spectacular scene made everyone's expressions extremely vivid, their mouths wide open, forgetting to close them.

In the blink of an eye, the originally crowded platform was cleared, leaving only a few old hands who hid behind the crowd, standing stupefied like wooden chickens, trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Ye retracted his fists, standing tall like a spear, radiating an invincible aura, as if to pierce a hole through Heaven.

When Xiao Ye's gaze swept over them, those few old hands felt a tremor in their hearts and quickly said, "We'll roll off ourselves."

Having said that, they indeed jumped off the platform by themselves, and their unkempt appearance didn't provoke laughter, because everyone was immersed in shock.

The three village heads who had rushed towards the stage also paused their movement, faces full of disbelief.

A silent shock spread throughout the entire Central Square.

"Ye'er's strength isn't at the Late Stage of Ninth Body Refining Realm, but at the Peak..." Xiao Tianxiong stared dumbfounded at the boy on the platform.

With his experience, how could he not recognize the strength Xiao Ye had shown.

Shi Zhan was also stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Old Man Xiao, I really suspect you are becoming senile. You didn't give the Jiao Snake Blood to such a genius, but gave it to Xiao Teng..."

Alone in cultivation, reaching the Peak of Ninth Body Refining Realm at the age of fifteen, what a stunning talent? Looking at all the villages in Green Sun Town, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Ye?

Any village with such a genius would foster them with all their might.

The profound regret in Shi Zhan's words made Xiao Tianxiong's heart wrench, his breathing even heavier.

Yes, if they had given the Snake Flood Blood to Xiao Ye, perhaps Xiao Family Village, or even Green Sun Town, may now have witnessed the youngest Postnatal Realm Martial Artist in history.

"Fate plays with people..." Xiao Tianxiong's smile was bitter.

Xiao Ye had woken up too late, the energy of the Jiao Snake Blood couldn't wait until that time.

"Fortunately, Xiao Teng's progress isn't slow..." Xiao Tianxiong slowly exhaled, his gaze sharpening again.

At that moment, Wu Shi, who had been silent, glared at Xiao Tianxiong and said fiercely, "Old Man Xiao, if you dare to deceive me, I'll choke you to death!"

It was because he heard Xiao Tianxiong talk about Xiao Teng's strength that he rushed to let Wu Mei'er give up Xiao Ye and throw her lot in with Xiao Teng. If Xiao Teng hadn't reached the imagined level, and he also gave up on a genius like Xiao Ye, then wouldn't he regret it to death?

Wu Shi's words made Xiao Tianxiong uncomfortable, he said indifferently, "Don't worry, Xiao Ye is definitely not a match for Xiao Teng."

Upon hearing Xiao Tianxiong's assurance, Wu Shi was finally reassured.

"Not a match for Xiao Teng, can it be that Xiao Teng has reached the Postnatal Realm? Truly something to look forward to." Shi Zhan murmured.
