Chapter 822: Far Too Far Behind

"How is it possible? Why are all my techniques completely countered by you?"

Luo Tong leaned on his long staff, his expression extremely grim.

He simply couldn't understand why his staff technique, which had always been invincible, couldn't exert even a fraction of its power in front of Ye Yuan.

In fact, Luo Tong had sensed something was wrong long ago, but he was too proud to admit defeat and stubbornly held on for four or five hundred rounds.

But now he realized that Ye Yuan's ability to counter his staff technique was no accident!

"Although the 'Qiankun Staff Technique' is a ninth-grade high-level martial skill, that doesn't mean it's invincible. Is it strange to be countered?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

"Impossible! Even if you're stronger than me, you can't completely counter me. Unless you're very familiar with the 'Qiankun Staff Technique'! Who are you, really?" Luo Tong pointed his staff and asked bluntly.

"You really are forgetful. Didn't I just tell you? I'm the young master of the Chixia Holy Land."

"Hmph! This 'Qiankun Staff Technique' is my master's secret art, never passed on to outsiders. There's no way an outsider could be so familiar with it! If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll annihilate your Chixia Holy Land!" Luo Tong snorted coldly.

Shen Qin and the others felt a jolt in their hearts upon hearing this.

That old man's strength was too formidable. Even the Holy Lord at his peak might not be a match, let alone now.

He alone was enough to destroy the entire Chixia Holy Land.

However, as soon as those words were spoken, Ye Yuan's expression instantly turned cold.

Intimidated by Ye Yuan's aura, Luo Tong involuntarily took a step back.

In that instant, he felt as if he wasn't facing a young man but a supreme king!

I... I actually felt fear! This kid is only at the Boundless Realm, yet I was intimidated by his aura! I am the disciple of a Divine King. How can I be scared by a country bumpkin from a backwater place?

Luo Tong felt humiliated and furious. Since leaving the mountain, he had swept through everything in his path.

Today, facing a martial artist of a lower realm, he actually felt fear!

This was something he couldn't accept!

"Always talking about annihilating entire clans. Is that how Dong Feiyang taught you?"

Ye Yuan stepped forward imposingly. Luo Tong forced himself to stay calm, but for some reason, he took another step back!

"You... how do you know my master's name?" Luo Tong asked in surprise.

The Baiwu Domain was a very remote and small domain, weak in strength and isolated in information.

People here might have heard of the title Mad Staff Divine King, but they would never know the name Dong Feiyang.

Yet this young man in front of him called it out directly.

"Hey, if you want to know who I am, go back and ask Dong Feiyang! As for what you just said, I'll pretend I didn't hear it. If Dong Feiyang heard it, he would not hesitate to annihilate you, his unworthy disciple!" Ye Yuan said coldly.

Luo Tong's expression changed. "Hey, a mere Boundless Realm brat, you think a few words can scare me? Do you take me for a three-year-old?"

Ye Yuan sneered, "It seems Dong Feiyang has really regressed, teaching such an arrogant disciple! If you think I'm bluffing, go ahead and let that old man make a move. I guarantee you, Dong Feiyang won't kill you!"

Ye Yuan was clearly not joking with Luo Tong. He meant that even dying wouldn't be so easy for Luo Tong.

Shen Qin and the others had their hearts in their throats. They hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be so assertive in front of a Daoxuan Realm powerhouse of unfathomable depth.

If they provoked that old man, the entire Chixia Holy Land would be buried with them.

In front of a Daoxuan Realm expert, they didn't even have a chance to escape!

Intimidated by Ye Yuan's aura, Luo Tong broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Ye Yuan, trying to find a trace of panic in his eyes. But he was disappointed.

There was no fear in Ye Yuan's eyes, only a strong sense of kingly contempt.

Clearly, Ye Yuan truly didn't care about him or Uncle Sun, and wasn't just bluffing.

To act this way, Ye Yuan was either a fool or truly had something to rely on.

Could it be that Ye Yuan really had some connection with his master?

Suddenly, as if something occurred to him, Luo Tong's expression changed drastically.

Could this guy be his master's son?

The more Luo Tong thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

His master had sent him to travel in this area and set a time limit. Could it be to create this fated encounter?

His master was not only training him but also this young man!

Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan be so familiar with the 'Qiankun Staff Technique'? How could every move he made fail to exert its power in front of him?

"Could it be... you are my master's son?" Luo Tong asked weakly.

Ye Yuan was taken aback, then laughed. "What a wild guess! Don't speculate recklessly. If you want to know who I am, go back and ask your master! Hmm... your master... is he well now?"

Ye Yuan's words carried extremely complex emotions.

Luo Tong was startled. Ye Yuan's question sounded like he was reminiscing about an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

Just now, he had clearly seen a glistening tear in Ye Yuan's eye.

Although Ye Yuan controlled his emotions well, he still saw it.

That was definitely a genuine emotional outburst, but Ye Yuan's age... how was that possible?

Luo Tong was now confused, even more puzzled about Ye Yuan's identity.

But now, he was actually a bit afraid of Ye Yuan's threat.

"Master's condition isn't good. Someone placed a restriction on him that he can't break. He's been in seclusion all these years, rarely seen by outsiders," Luo Tong replied.

Ye Yuan's expression changed, but he soon sighed and transmitted his voice to Luo Tong: "Go back. If you want to know who I am, ask your master. When you see him, give him my regards. If he wants to come see me, tell him not to. Tell him that when the time is right, I will go find him."

Some things naturally couldn't be said in front of so many people.

Although Luo Tong was a bit arrogant, it was clear that Dong Feiyang had high hopes for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a Daoxuan Triple Realm servant to accompany him on his travels.

So this Luo Tong should be trustworthy.

Luo Tong looked puzzled and asked, "Do you really know my master? I've met most of my master's old friends, but I've never heard of you!"

Ye Yuan laughed. "You really won't give up, will you? Don't try to test me. I won't tell you. If you want to know, ask Dong Feiyang. Also, the essence of the 'Qiankun Staff Technique' lies in the words 'Qiankun.' Once the staff technique is unleashed, you become the universe, dominating a realm of heaven and earth! Your staff technique only captures the form, not the meaning. You're still far, far too behind!"
