# Chapter 299: Innate Primordial Void Gang Qi
Ji Yunteng's face turned ashen, his body trembling with rage. He never imagined Ye Fan would be so audacious as to act in such a manner.
Wanted by two Holy Lands, yet daring to take the risk of coming to the Ji Family to fraudulently claim the bounty—this truly made his blood boil, the veins on his forehead bulging with fury.
"Anger harms the body. Don't get too worked up. After all, your family has great wealth and doesn't care about such a small amount of Source," Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Surnamed Ye, you're far too arrogant! Wanted by two Holy Lands, yet you dare to come cheat us out of our Source. You won't survive. An ancient aristocratic clan cannot be defiled!" Ji Yunteng said coldly.
Ye Fan's smile didn't fade. "What can you do? Want to kill me?"
"I could crush you with one hand!" Ji Yunteng's body burst forth with auspicious radiance, divine power surging, strands of dragon qi coiling around his body as he pushed his cultivation to the limit.
"So domineering, such boldness. Then let me see just how heroic and skilled the young experts of the ancient aristocratic clan really are." Ye Fan laughed coldly.
"I'll finish you off right now!" Ji Yunteng shouted loudly, then silently vanished into the void, executing the Grand Void Art.
"Whoosh"
Surprisingly, despite his fierce words, he appeared in the distant sky, not charging at Ye Fan. Ji Yunteng chose to flee, moving with incredible speed.
His harsh words were entirely meant to stabilize Ye Fan, preparing the ground for escape. Though arrogant and always believing the ancient aristocratic clan reigned supreme, after witnessing Ye Fan slap Dao Palace Third Heaven Ji Yunbiao to death with one palm, he immediately knew that even at the Dao Palace Fourth Heaven realm, he was no match for his opponent.
"Why are your words and actions inconsistent?" Ye Fan's face was full of gentle smiles as he blocked Ji Yunteng's escape path.
"You..." Ji Yunteng was greatly shocked. His opponent had moved after him yet arrived first, faster than him.
"Whoosh"
Ji Yunteng once again executed the Grand Void Art, disappearing from his original position. He had pride and was extremely self-confident, but he didn't want to die, using every means to try to escape.
However, when he emerged from the void again, he found Ye Fan still blocking his path, wearing a cold smile.
"Aren't you tired? What's the point of running back and forth?"
"Surnamed Ye, you're too arrogant! Offending two Holy Lands means there will be no place for you to survive in this world!" Ji Yunteng retreated rapidly.
"I was just planning to travel around. Breaking into Dao Palace Fourth Heaven requires a hundred thousand catties of Source, and I'm counting on your Ji Family and Yaoguang to provide it."
Ye Fan moved unhurriedly, taking a dozen steps to catch up. A golden palm the size of a millstone came smashing down, not wanting to give him another chance to escape.
"Shing, shing"...
Five streaks of silver light burst forth, like five silver dragons crossing the sky, as thick as houses. The silver dragons swayed upward, intersecting in pairs to form dragon shears, intercepting Ye Fan's golden hand.
This was the Ji Family's ultimate technique—the Heaven-Severing Finger. Its power was extraordinary, but it depended on who used it. Compared to Ye Fan's combat strength, he was at an absolute disadvantage.
"Smack!"
The five dragon rays were shattered by the golden palm. The great hand came crashing down, and with a "crack," Ji Yunteng's expression turned miserable as his arm was instantly mangled.
"Ah..."
He cried out to the heavens, using all his strength to unleash another divine technique recorded in the Void Sutra. Opening his mouth, he spat out a stream of Dao Qi, charging at Ye Fan.
This was the Innate Primordial Void Gang Qi recorded in the Void Ancient Sutra—the user's innate primordial qi refined together with the void itself. It was indestructible, capable of piercing even divine weapons and precious blades.
One could clearly see a stream of qi rushing from Ji Yunteng's mouth, representing the innate primordial void, twisting the very void as it passed.
"Clang!"
In response, Ye Fan didn't dodge at all. He swung his golden fist, striking as if hitting a ten-thousand-jun falling star, the sound deafening.
"Hum"
The so-called indestructible Innate Primordial Void Gang Qi was instantly scattered. Divine radiance blazed, transforming into a torrent that rushed in all directions, causing the entire void to tremble.
"Puff"
The mountain peak beneath their feet, only a few dozen meters away, was affected. The scattered Innate Primordial Void Gang Qi sheared off three to four meters of its height, the cut surface perfectly smooth.
"You..." Ji Yunteng's face flushed red. After releasing his innate primordial qi, his divine power was depleted by eighty to ninety percent, yet his opponent had shattered it with a single punch. This was truly hard for him to accept.
"Extraordinary techniques—it all depends on who uses them. It seems every member of the Ji Family's younger generation masters two or three secret techniques recorded in the Void Ancient Sutra. Can you explain them to me?" Ye Fan pressed forward.
"Surnamed Ye brat, don't be too pleased! Our Ji Family has countless geniuses. Many among the younger generation can suppress you so you'll never raise your head again. You won't survive!" Ji Yunteng gritted his teeth.
"In the future, I'll go find those geniuses you mentioned." Ye Fan slapped forward.
"Bam"
Ji Yunteng dodged, but couldn't outrun that golden hand. It struck his body, and he flew like a broken drum, his body shattered as he crashed to the ground.
"Surnamed Ye, if you're not going to kill me, what do you want?"
"I want to consult you about the Void Ancient Sutra." Ye Fan landed, his face wearing a gentle smile.
"You're dreaming!" Ji Yunteng gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, Ye Fan raised his head, looking toward the distant horizon. Four figures moved without touching the ground, like immortals walking on waves, their robes fluttering as they rapidly approached.
He mocked, "Your Ji Family really thinks highly of me, sending four more people. Trying to clean up neatly without leaving any traces, so as not to give others something to talk about."
"Bam"
Ye Fan stomped his foot, sending Ji Yunteng flying. His body was cracked in many places, lying motionless on the ground, unable even to speak.
Ji Yunteng was filled with shame and fury. He had boasted he could crush his opponent with one foot, yet had fallen to such a state. His opponent not killing him was clearly to seize the divine techniques recorded in the Void Ancient Sutra.
"Whoosh"
Ye Fan flicked his sleeve, tearing a large crack in the ground. With another wave of his sleeve, he buried Ji Yunteng beneath it.
Before long, the four figures on the horizon arrived. Without raising a speck of dust, they halted instantly. Four pairs of eyes, like eight sharp swords, fixed on Ye Fan.
"Do you all have further business?"
"Less nonsense. Where did Ji Yunteng and Ji Yunbiao go?" One of them sensed something was wrong, his face darkening as he demanded.
"They're your Ji Family's people. What does that have to do with me? Why ask me?" Ye Fan's expression was calm.
"They came chasing after you. How could they have disappeared without a trace?" That man shouted.
"Oh, chasing after me? For what reason?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
The four pressed forward. One of them, with a cold expression, said, "Stop changing the subject. Speak quickly. Where are Ji Yunteng and Ji Yunbiao?"
"Don't shout at me. Am I obligated to watch over them for you?" Ye Fan's expression turned cold.
All four Ji Family members sensed something wrong. Each retreated to avoid accidents, preparing for both battle and retreat. But one of them remained very arrogant, shouting, "Stop playing dumb. Tell us their whereabouts immediately, or you know the consequences."
"Smack"
Ye Fan suddenly swung his wide sleeve, directly sending that Ji Family disciple stumbling backward. He said coldly, "Who are you calling a fool? What so-called consequences?"
"You..." This Ji Family disciple's expression changed drastically. He pointed and said, "You dare make the first move against me?"
Disciples of the ancient aristocratic clan, wherever they went, were surrounded like stars around the moon. Few dared to offend them.
"What do you think you are? What if I do make a move against you?" Ye Fan sneered. His wide sleeve swept out like a sheet of iron cloud.
"Smack"
The broad sleeve, hard as an iron plate, swept through the void, landing solidly. This Ji Family disciple tried to block with his arm, but it was useless. He was sent flying.
"Bam"
This Ji Family disciple was furious. He soared into the air, standing high above, his eyes flashing with cold light, killing intent boundless. Then, head down and feet up, he dove down. The Void Great Hand Seal pressed down fiercely, a black hand like a black wall bearing down, making one's heart tremble.
However, Ye Fan didn't move at all, didn't dodge. He looked up at him until the black hand pressed down to close range, then with a "bam," he reached out his left hand and grabbed upward.
"Fall back quickly!" The three behind shouted, warning this Ji Family disciple.
"Bam"
But it was already too late. Ye Fan caught the Void Great Hand Seal with one hand, breaking through the void upward. He grabbed hold and pulled him down from the air, like picking up a little chick, without any effort.
"Smack"
He raised his hand and slapped, directly hitting his face, sending saliva and blood flying.
"Do you want to be an enemy of the Ji Family?" This Ji Family disciple spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly putting on a brave front despite inner fear.
"What's wrong with making a move against someone from the Ji Family? Do you really think the Ji Family is the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wasteland?" Ye Fan sneered, raising his hand for another slap, directly hitting him until blood sprayed from his mouth and nose.
The three behind weren't as reckless as this man. They had sensed something was wrong from the start, keeping their distance from Ye Fan, able to choose whether to fight or retreat.
Now, they didn't choose to rescue him but turned and left, very decisive, because they sensed they were no match.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Shing, shing, shing"...
Ye Fan shot out dozens of small flags, all sticking into the ground. Mist surged, covering this area, cutting off their escape route. These were all artifacts refined by Black Emperor, engraved with complex dao patterns, more than capable of trapping cultivators in the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
Ye Fan grabbed that Ji Family disciple, gave him a thorough beating with his palm, until he was breathing out more than in, then threw him to the ground like a dead dog.
The other three completely changed color. A Dao Palace Third Heaven disciple had been utterly powerless to resist, slapped a dozen times and trampled underfoot. It made their hearts turn cold.
"Why must this friend be so harsh? Ji Yunsheng has always been reckless, hot-tempered, and often offends people. If he displeased you just now, I apologize on his behalf," one of them spoke.
Ji Yunsheng, his mouth dripping blood, groaned and struggled to his feet, but didn't dare speak arrogantly anymore. Fear appeared in his eyes. He knew he had stirred up big trouble.
The other three were uneasy. Trapped here, it was extremely dangerous.
"Friend, this is entirely a misunderstanding. You provided our Ji Family with clues to hunt down the villain Ye Fan. In a sense, we're on the same side. We're very grateful to you."
"Ji Yunsheng, apologize quickly! I've told you before not to be reckless. Today you've caused trouble again. When we return, you'll be punished!"
The three wore smiles on their faces, explaining as they spoke, while also making Ji Yunsheng apologize.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "An apology isn't necessary. Because I am the Ye Fan you're looking for."
"What?!" The four were all greatly shocked.
When Ye Fan revealed his true form and pulled Ji Yunteng out from the crack in the ground where he was buried, the four all changed color, so angry they nearly spat blood.
"What do you want?"
"I'm very interested in the Innate Primordial Void Gang Qi. I'd like to consult you about it."
