Of course, being able to do this is enough to prove that Si Ming is by no means weak. Even if he wanted to use minimal force to achieve maximum effect, he would need to have at least some strength himself. However, Chidahu wanted to further investigate the opponent's strength.

Si Ming glanced at it and chuckled, "Looks like you've been underestimated. That's true, the old man always has a hard time accepting young people entering his circle and standing on equal footing with him. In the past, the Barbarian King used his strength to shatter others' stubborn belief that ' Barbarian Race can't produce Great Grandmaster.' Now it's your turn, Barbarian King, to have that stubborn belief shattered. Things always cycle like this. The only lesson history teaches us is that we never learn anything from history."

Chidahu, remained unperturbed and replied, "We martial artists, no matter how sharp our tongues, must ultimately prove ourselves with our hands. Young martial artists who wish to achieve fame must step onto the steps of the older generation. Have you made up your mind to die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his fighting spirit surged, affecting the surrounding air and creating a towering tornado, indicating that he was about to make a move.

"Using only a Barbarian King as a stepping stone to fame is a bit weak and might not be able to bear the weight of the main body. Adding a Grand Tutor of the Li State would be just as good. Therefore, let's send both of them together!"

Si Ming laughed loudly, leaped into the air, raised his palm to the sky, and saw the essence of heaven and earth transformed, and the auspicious spirits of the universe absorbed. An unparalleled and inexhaustible energy surged in his palm.

Before the move was even made, it had already caused strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, drawing the attention of the martial arts heroes watching from the outskirts of Gourd Valley to this uninvited guest.

"Ha, although I am old, I don't want to vacate my position so soon."

With a flick of his sleeves, Ju Beichen unleashed an aura that resembled the vast sky and the bright moon, like a towering mountain moving through the air and pressing down on Si Ming. His attack showed no mercy, as if there were no secrets between them.

Chidahu a thick eyebrow, feeling puzzled, but he still made his move. His whole body was filled with Vicious Qi, and he threw a punch. The enormous force was like a mountain torrent, but without any loss, it all poured towards Si Ming in mid-air.

The combined attack of the two Void Returning Great Grandmaster seemed to alarm the heavens. Thunder roared, and the dark clouds that had begun to dissipate were suddenly struck by lightning and thunder. The earth, which had calmed down, began to hum and tremble again.

Despite the double attack, Si Ming remained fearless. With a resounding roar, he unleashed his inner energy, merging it with the powerful force gathered in his right palm, and struck out. This punch seemed to contain the power to split the heavens and the earth, its energy surging in layers, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble and sway with the force of this punch.

It was midday, and the sun in the sky was shining brightly with its intense heat. However, the powerful energy that erupted from the three-way battle shone brightly, so bright that even the sun in the sky paled in comparison.

With a deafening roar, and before the incredulous eyes of thousands of martial artists, Ju Beichen and Chidahu, two Void Returning Great Grandmaster the Void Returning Realm, were both forced back. The mountain beneath their feet was even shattered and collapsed by the residual force, leaving them with no foothold. Only Si Ming floated in mid-air, motionless, like War God.

"One palm strike defeats two heroes!"

"How is this possible! Two Grandmasters of the Void Returning Great Grandmaster joined forces and were still overwhelmed. Just who is this kid? When did another Void Returning Great Grandmaster appear in the martial arts world?"

"I recognize this person. He is Mad Ink Si Ming, the disciple of Jinghong Beyond the Heavens. He is a rising star of the Mohist School, who became famous in the war between humans and demons in the Northern Continent. But at that time, he was only said to be a body-refining martial artist with strength no less than that of Spirit Transformation expert. It was not as exaggerated as it is now."

"If he defeats two Void Returning Great Grandmaster with a single palm strike, wouldn't he be the number one in the world?"

Everyone felt their worldviews were being turned upside down, especially after others explained Si Ming's background to them.

"In his early twenties, what a prodigy!"

"And he's not even a Nascent Spirit Transformation yet; he's on the path of body refinement... Could it be that we've all gone astray, and that body refinement is actually the right path?"

"Look, the Barbarian King's face is as black as if it's been smeared with ink. Being reduced to a stepping stone for a newcomer's rise to fame must have been a huge blow to him."

Chidahu didn't hear the crowd's discussion, but his face was indeed very ugly. It wasn't because he was embarrassed and angry, but because he was furious about the cover-up.

Although Si Ming's palm strike was powerful, it was not enough to achieve the feat of "defeating the two heroes". He still relied on the method of using the opponent's force against them.

Given Chidahu and Ju Beichen's martial arts prowess, if they were unwilling to let their opponents use their strength and to maintain a consistent and unified force, it would be difficult for Si Ming to borrow their strength, especially since the palm force detached from the body is even more difficult to control. Yet he managed to do so. The only explanation is that Ju Beichen held back and actively lent his strength to Si Ming.

On the surface, this confrontation appeared to be a one-on-two battle, and in reality, it was also a one-on-two battle. However, in the eyes of others, it was Si Ming who was fighting against two opponents, but in reality, it was Chidahu who suffered a silent loss, losing both face and substance. No wonder he didn't have a good expression.

However, being a powerful ruler accustomed to intrigue and scheming, Chidahu inner turmoil at Si Ming's shamelessness.

"Is this all the skill you have?" But in the end, he couldn't help but sneer.

Before Si Ming could speak, Ju Beichen said, "Why does the Barbarian King say such a thing? If you've lost, you have to admit it. With our status, do you really not even have that much magnanimity?"

He then cupped his hands in a salute to Si Ming and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. It seems I can't deny my age any longer. With a young talent like you in the Mohist School, its future prosperity is promising. It's truly enviable."

"Senior, you flatter me. I was just a young man, ignorant of my own limitations, arrogant and reckless in my pursuit of fame. But after meeting you today, I understand the true meaning of martial virtue. You are truly awe-inspiring and a model to follow."

Si Ming suddenly dropped his arrogant demeanor and instead said something humble.

"Ah, I've only wasted some time and grown a few years older. I don't deserve such praise. The future still depends on young people like you. Seeing you is like the setting sun seeing the rising sun; I must eventually step down and make way for the more capable."

"The elder is still vigorous despite his advanced age; even as he prepares to descend the mountain, he can still spread his red light throughout the world."

Chidahu watched coldly as the old man and the young man flattered each other as if no one else was around. He was in no hurry to make a move, but secretly channeled his Vicious Qi from the soles of his feet, sending it into the ground.

Before long, the earth suddenly trembled violently, the earth dragon rolled over, and a red light burst forth in Gourd Valley, shooting into the sky. Dark red magma gushed out amidst billowing black smoke, and a huge rumbling sound pressed down in layers all around. The red-hot rocks were pushed high into the air and then fell rapidly, leaving thousands of fiery red streaks in the smoke-filled sky.

Clouds of toxic volcanic ash stretched to the horizon, and forked lightning circled the plumes of smoke erupting from the crater, creating a terrifying scene as if the air itself were on fire.

Just then, a sharp ray of light shot out from the towering magma. Even lightning could not obscure its brilliance. Just one glance was enough to make one's heart flutter with the Sword Qi it emanated.

The Juntian Divine Sword has been unearthed ahead of schedule!

Having anticipated this, Chidahu immediately made his move, condensing his Vicious Qi into a giant hand that reached for the divine sword, ignoring the lava and lightning raining down from the sky.

"Barbarian King, false start is a foul."

Si Ming joined his two fingers together, and the massive amount of yin Yin Qi from the erupting magma rapidly converged, condensing into a demonic sword from the Nine Netherworlds. Instantly, a sword light soared into the sky like a swallow in flight, or like mountains and rivers collapsing, slashing swiftly towards Chidahu.

This One Sword had the advantage of terrain and was also Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship, with impeccable power and skill. Even someone as strong as Chidahu dared not underestimate it and could only turn around to fight back.

Meanwhile, under the cover of several eminent monks led by his master Xunan, Song Jingping quietly approached the direction where the Juntian Divine Sword had fallen.

Chapter 889 The Number One in This Era

Sword Qi shattered, fist force cleaved, and two fierce forces, neither willing to yield, entangled and struggled, the roar of their collision resounding through the heavens and earth. Even the erupting magma column was snapped in half by the residual force and shot out in all directions, causing the martial arts practitioners watching from the outside to cover their heads and dodge.

"Kid, I underestimated you."

After a direct confrontation, Chidahu not only failed to gain the upper hand, but also fell into a slight disadvantage due to the loss of terrain. At this moment, he finally realized that his opponent was not just good at using tricks, but was also no less capable than him in terms of hard power.

"Barbarian King, you must learn to open your eyes and see the world. The world is not just this corner of the Southern Continent; otherwise, you'll just be a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky."

With a flick of his fingers, Si Ming sent a golden pillar of fire soaring into the sky, like a supreme and noble giant sword, radiating intense heat and turning the entire Gourd Valley into a sea of fire.
