The entire Training Ground trembled slightly as Qiu Tangping slammed into it, and the cultivators watching around the Training Ground trembled as well.
No matter how they had imagined the outcome a thousand times over, never had they imagined anything like this.
Qiu Tangping, third on the Heavenly Pride Ranking and possessing an Early Earth God Realm divine soul, had been pressed into the ground by Chen Fei's single sword strike.
Ordinarily, an Early Earth God Realm divine soul was enough to handle any sudden situation within the Tenth Order. Even if something unexpected occurred, Qiu Tangping's reaction speed should have allowed him to respond immediately.
Yet the only explanation for what had happened was that Qiu Tangping had not held back at all. Even if he had been careless at the start, the instant their two swords met, he should have realized something was wrong.
But Chen Fei was standing while Qiu Tangping lay there. That meant that even though Qiu Tangping had adjusted at the very end, it had already been too late. He could not withstand the immense force of Chen Fei's sword.
Cai Qiuying stood at the far end of the Training Ground, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Cai Qiuying had refused to become Qiu Tangping's dao companion because her standards were high, not because Qiu Tangping was weak. Third on the Heavenly Pride Ranking—how could he possibly be weak?
Yet now, in a single exchange, Qiu Tangping had been knocked flat.
Even hundreds of years ago, when the top five of the Heavenly Pride Ranking had fought fiercely for position, Qiu Tangping had never been left lying on the ground in such a sorry state. Yet now, facing the challenge of Chen Fei, sixth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, this had happened.
