Chapter 378: Not Dead but Ruined
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the so-called Grand Sorcerer Sophie's face turned quite unnatural.
"You're a smart little brat, aren't you? I see this is all the capability your Huaxia has. Today, let me, an old ancestor, teach you on behalf of your elders!"
Grand Sorcerer Sophie sneered coldly, his silhouette roaring into the air, arms spread wide, like a hawk sweeping through the sky, filled with a strong sinister killing intent.
Upon seeing this, Daoxuan Zhenren's face immediately changed, ready to take action. No matter what Li Tianhao had just told him about Ye Ling's cultivation being incredibly powerful, deep in his heart he instinctively wanted to intervene and protect the younger man.
"A shameful race, truly nonsensical. A mere waste in the Early Stage of the Golden Core dares to strut around in our Huaxia."
"Enough with the nonsense, Cang Poison!"
Whoosh, in the dark sky, suddenly little green glowing dots appeared, spreading over Ye Ling's head like dense stars, yet they carried a bone-chilling coldness.
Ting, ting, ting, the green light fell, landing on Ye Ling's body surface, but the green light, like drops on an iron plate, made a ting, ting sound.
Ye Ling stood in place, his expression unchanged: "Is this all you've got, these petty tricks?"
Swish, Ye Ling made his move. The moment Ye Ling moved, both Daoxuan Zhenren and Grand Sorcerer Sophie's faces greatly changed.
At that moment, they felt as though Ye Ling was the ruler of heaven and earth, his divine might sweeping through, turning him into a dazzling presence.
Ye Ling's hand was incredibly fast, like thunder, like wind, eerie and unpredictable, profound and mysterious, making it impossible to track.
Crack, Ye Ling directly grabbed Grand Sorcerer Sophie's leg and then with a ferocious smile, suddenly exerted force in his arm, pulling it harshly.
In mid-air, Grand Sorcerer Sophie's face instantly changed, the Golden Core's power within him roaring and erupting like a torrential flood.
"Get off me!" Grand Sorcerer Sophie roared, his face savage. On his legs, circles of green mist appeared out of nowhere, entwining around Ye Ling's hand.
Ye Ling sneered with disdain: "Tsk, tsk, poison again. It appears that lowliness is just a trait of your race. Too bad, such things are of no use to me. Come down!"
With a thunderous explosion, Ye Ling forcefully flung his arm, and the mid-air Grand Sorcerer Sophie suddenly stiffened, his body smashing forcefully into the ground.
Bang, a thunderous sound, Grand Sorcerer Sophie's body violently crashed into the ground, feeling as if his body was about to shatter, with churning blood and qi in his chest.
"Such strong cultivation!" Daoxuan Zhenren was stunned, a flash of shock passing through his eyes. Li Tianhao had told him that Ye Ling's power was nearly unmatched in the Golden Core Stage.
But he never imagined Ye Ling would be so formidable that he so effortlessly suppressed the once haughty Grand Sorcerer Sophie.
"Who exactly are you!" Grand Sorcerer Sophie struggled to his feet, his face grave, clenching his hand around a long staff that appeared in his palm.

The staff was dark and somber, with a ferocious skull at its head, emitting an oppressive gloomy aura.
Ye Ling gave a cold laugh: "Why ask so many questions? If you dare to cause trouble in Huaxia, be prepared to die!"
"Boy, don't talk recklessly. Don't think that just because you have the upper hand over me, you can hold onto me. Besides, whether or not one dies is still uncertain and it's unclear who will meet that fate!"
Having said that, Grand Sorcerer Sophie's pupils suddenly dilated, his figure soaring explosively into the air, then with a fierce twist, he violently flung his staff backward.
With a thunderous roar, the staff hammered out, furiously smashing toward Ye Ling. The skulls on the staff, in a bizarre turn, seemed to come alive as it was thrown.
The skulls' eyes blazed green, its mouth opening wide, revealing sharp fangs shining sinisterly white.
"Annihilate the World!"
With a roar, Grand Sorcerer Sophie howled as the skull head charged crazily towards Ye Ling. But Ye Ling just laughed, trivial tricks indeed. This Divine Skill, while awe-inspiring, was unfortunately showy but ineffective.
Hum, in Ye Ling's palm, a black brick quietly appeared, dark and unassuming. Upon seeing the black brick in Ye Ling's hand, Daoxuan Zhenren was momentarily taken aback.
"This? This is a brick?" Daoxuan Zhenren swallowed.
Next to him, Mo Xing immediately laughed, "Yeah, a brick, one that makes the entire Western power circles tremble and go weak at the knees."
The next moment, Ye Ling swung his arm, slapping the black brick towards the skeleton head charging at him.
With a whooshing sound, when the black brick touched the skeleton head, the seemingly terrifying and powerful skeleton head instantly shattered.
Crack, the skeleton head exploded, turning into specks of black light scattering onto the ground.
"What! Impossible!" Grand Sorcerer Sophie was shocked, Just an old black brick, and it has such power?
But the black brick swung by Ye Ling didn't lose momentum and crazily continued smashing towards Grand Sorcerer Sophie.
"I refuse to believe this, just a black brick, you must have enhanced it with some kind of Five Elements counteracting Divine Skills from Huaxia!"
Grand Sorcerer Sophie roared, her staff striking hard against the black brick swung by Ye Ling.
CLANG.
A piercing clang resonated, Grand Sorcerer Sophie's body shook, her flesh continuously buffeted by a terrifying invisible tempest.
Crack, Grand Sorcerer Sophie's staff broke, and the black brick in Ye Ling's hand had already slammed onto her chest.
Zoom, Grand Sorcerer Sophie was sent flying, Ye Ling's figure vanished in an instant, the next moment, he appeared above her.
"Annihilation Palm!"
Boom, above Grand Sorcerer Sophie, a massive palm imprint silently appeared, the imprint clear, five fingers together, strands of fearsome power twining between the fingers, mysterious beyond measure.
"I remember there's a move that descends from the sky, isn't there?"
Daoxuan Zhenren was once again staggered, This can't be the Buddha's Palm, can it?
"Cut it out, Uncle, didn't you hear Ye Ling shout? It's the Annihilation Palm, alright."
Mo Xing shrugged his shoulders, having followed Ye Ling for so long, he was used to seeing other people's inexperienced reactions.
Daoxuan Zhenren mechanically nodded, gawking at the palm imprint in the sky as it pummeled down on Grand Sorcerer Sophie's chest with a barrage-like ferocity.
Smack, like a heavy object plummeting, carrying a whooshing wind sound.
Boom, everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, and upon reopening them, Grand Sorcerer Sophie was nowhere to be found, leaving behind an alarming deep pit on the ground.
Dust flying, blood dripping at the edge of the pit, Daoxuan Zhenren's lips quivered, "Is it over?"
"What, old timer? What else do you want?" said Ye Ling with a smile.
An old man at the Early Stage of Golden Core, in his eyes, was nothing more than a slightly bigger grasshopper, one he could squash with a slap.
The Tianji Sect's people were also thumping in their hearts, this young man in front of them was truly powerful, unreasonably so.
At the edge of the deep pit, two bloody hands suddenly appeared, clinging to the edge of the pit, slowly pulling up a body.
"What! He's not dead!" Daoxuan Zhenren was startled, This Grand Sorcerer Sophie is too strong, to stand up after such a level of attack.
However, Ye Ling just smiled, "Not dead but crippled, might as well be dead."
