My Brilliant CEO Wife

Too weak, all form and no substance!

Upon hearing Yun Hao's casual remark, Duanjian's mind wavered for a moment.

However, before he could think further, he sensed the surrounding Power of Slaughter closing in, his expression changed dramatically, and he had no choice but to withdraw his sword to block the attack rather than attack Yun Hao.

But it was already too late.

In the blink of an eye, the Power of Slaughter had penetrated his body, shattering all his meridians within and even breaking his dantian. All the primordial power in his body vanished instantly, dissipating like smoke!

Duanjian's eyes were filled with disbelief, unable to comprehend that he didn't even have a chance to make a move before all his cultivation was dispersed by the opponent, even shattering all his internal meridians and his dantian, the basic of a martial artist.

Staring at the longsword that had fallen before him, Duanjian's heart was filled with unwillingness, not reconciled to failing here like this, unwilling to die here when he still had so much left to do.

Thud!

No matter how unwilling Duanjian was, in the end, he could only weakly kneel on the floor, clutching the hilt of the sword tightly to support his body.

"You… what kind of move is this?" Duanjian asked with his final breath, staring intently at Yun Hao.

"Why should I tell you? Just hurry up and die!"

Faced with Duanjian's dying question, an average person might choose to answer, but Yun Hao was not average, responding to the question with a mocking smile.

The nearly dead Duanjian, hearing Yun Hao's response, closed his eyelids weakly and passed away while holding onto the sword's hilt.

The scene fell silent almost instantly, the sound of everyone's heartbeat was audible, especially Yang Kun and Song Hong, who were caught halfway with no easy way forward or retreat.

They exchanged glances, standing in shock and embarrassment at the situation unfolding before them.

The strongest among the three of them, Duanjian, couldn't even withstand one move from the opponent before meeting his end and departing this world.

How… how is this possible?

What kind of strength does this Yun Hao possess?

Could it be… he has reached the legendary Eighth Grade realm?

Impossible…

The Eighth Grade realm is incredibly hard to cultivate. Even in their resource-rich and deeply rooted large sects, only a handful of Eighth Grade experts have emerged in the past century.

Moreover, those few Eighth Grade experts had opportunities to cultivate in the Upper Realm.

Yun Hao is only in his twenties, how could he have cultivated to the Eighth Grade realm?

But if he hasn't reached the Eighth Grade realm, then why would he have such a powerful killing move?

Could it be…

Suddenly, Yang Kun's expression changed dramatically. He looked at Yun Hao, recalling that when Yun Hao killed Duanjian, he'd casually uttered "kill," and the tiny disbelief in his heart turned into shock.

Thud!

Yang Kun's knees buckled uncontrollably, and he knelt down before Yun Hao, his face ashen, filled with both admiration and envy but also boundless fear, a fear reserved for monsters.

"Yang Kun, pays respects to the Venerable!" With everyone, including Song Hong, confused, Yang Kun kowtowed loudly.

Boom!

Compared to Yun Hao killing Duanjian with one move, Yang Kun's words were even more shocking. Some people with heart problems clutched their chests and hastily took heart-saving pills.

Did they hear wrong?

Yang Kun just addressed Yun Hao as Venerable?

Oh my heavens!

Has he been scared senseless by that move?

Did he forget that only super experts who comprehend the Power of Laws are qualified to be called Venerable?

In the entire Kunlun Sacred Land, only five people are called Venerables, and among them, three are Sect Leaders of the top three sects.

Yang Kun calling Yun Hao Venerable at this moment left everyone puzzled.

Song Hong looked at Yang Kun kneeling so devoutly, especially seeing the reverence for a god-like figure in his eyes, feeling even more baffled.

"Yang Kun, have you gone mad? How can you casually call someone Venerable?" Song Hong asked while attempting to pull Yang Kun up.

"The Venerable has cultivated the Power of Laws, why don't you all kneel?" Despite Song Hong's attempts, Yang Kun shook him off forcefully and shouted to everyone around.

Hearing Yang Kun's words, Song Hong and those around him were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter as though they'd just heard the world's funniest joke.

Some laughed so hard that tears flew from their eyes.

"Yang Kun, are you crazy? Even if Yun Hao's strength eclipses ours and Duanjian's, it's just stronger than us. As for the Power of Laws, do you think it's something easy to cultivate? Like cabbages you can pluck at will? You're making your Qian Guang Temple lose face!"

Wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes, Song Hong sneered at Yang Kun kneeling on the ground.

Though they came together this time and chose to follow Duanjian against Yun Hao, one thing remained unchanged—their sect rivalry!

Especially between Song Hong's Celestial Saint Sect and Yang Kun's Qian Guang Temple, where fights happened almost every day, disciples were constantly injured or died as a result.

So how could Song Hong miss the opportunity to mock Yang Kun?

"Ah, your Qian Guang Temple is really rubbish. How can a Third Elder of such dignity kneel and kowtow out of fear?"

"Yes, and what's more shameful is repeatedly calling the opponent Venerable. Have you any dignity left as the third sect in Kunlun Sacred Land?"

"I reckon Qian Guang Temple doesn't deserve to be third and doesn't deserve to follow our Celestial Saint Sect. It's an insult to us!"

"Shut the hell up, our Qian Guang Temple's affairs are none of your business!"

"Yeah, and don't think you're any better. I'll tell you, this year our Qian Guang Temple is sure to surpass you, becoming the second largest sect in Kunlun Sacred Land!"

"You bunch of eternal second-rate idiots, what right do you have to criticize our Third Elder?"

With Song Hong's mockery of Yang Kun, disciples from both sects began to quarrel loudly, words flying back and forth, ratcheting the tension to a knife's edge.
