The next morning,
Led by Hong Decheng, the disciples of Tiger Subduing Martial Arts School arrived at the viewing area.
Hong Decheng sat down calmly, while the other disciples stood by his side.
Yang Hua looked around in the crowd, a worried expression on his face. " Senior Disciple Fang still hasn't shown up today. Could something have happened to him?"
Another disciple beside him chimed in, "Yes, it's very strange. Junior Brother Fang and Junior Brother Zhou are such good friends, they shouldn't be absent."
Hong Decheng raised his hand to interrupt everyone, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you will see him in a little while."
The disciples looked at each other, puzzled.
Seeing that Master Hong's words clearly had a hidden meaning, some people wanted to ask more questions, but Hong Decheng waved his hand and said no more.
Yang Hua and the others had no choice but to suppress their doubts and wait for the competition to begin.
Soon after, representatives from various factions, including the Song Family, the Jiang family, the Luo family, the Flying Eagle Martial Arts School, and the Tian Yuan Escort Agency, arrived one after another.
The two sides of the arena were quickly filled, and the surrounding area was packed with onlookers.
Only the main positions on the north and south sides remain vacant.
Just then, the Three Rivers Gang and the Green Robe Gang finally entered the venue one after another, taking their seats in the north and south respectively.
The room immediately erupted in a cacophony of voices and shouts.
Xiao Yu, the leader of the Green Robe Gang, slowly stepped onto the stage. His gaze swept across the entire venue like lightning, and the originally noisy place quickly quieted down.
His voice was booming, clearly carrying to every corner:
"You are all aware of today's agreement. The Green Robe Gang and the Three Rivers Gang will settle this conflict through martial prowess. Our Gang's Hall Master Zheng will single-handedly fight against the five Hall Masters of the Three Rivers Gang!"
"If I help the Sanhe Gang win five consecutive matches, then the Three Rivers Gang hand over its territory."
"If we fail to achieve consecutive victories, my Green Robe Gang will relinquish our territory!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Yi Yu stepped forward and stood in the center of the arena.
Zheng Lingfeng was dressed in gray, his hair and beard were already white, and he was wearing armor, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he opened and closed them.
He remained silent, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the seats of the Three Rivers Gang.
The disdain and arrogance in his eyes were more intimidating than any words.
On the Three Rivers Gang's side, Zhou Boyuan's expression was solemn.
He turned to Ye Fei, whose movements were the most agile, and said in a deep voice:
"Master Ye, you will be the first to go. Be careful and focus on probing and testing the waters. If things don't go well, admit defeat and step down immediately!"
"Don't worry, Master!" Ye Fei accepted the order and darted onto the arena like a swallow.
" Ye Fei Three Rivers Gang!"
Zheng Lingfeng then slightly raised his eyes, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his lips, "Is your movement technique exceptional?"
He didn't even bother with his starting stance, still standing with his hands behind his back, saying, "I'll give you three moves."
Ye Fei didn't hold back either. He circulated his qi and blood, and his movements instantly became as fast as a ghost.
In an instant, several afterimages seemed to appear on the arena, dazzling the eyes.
Knowing his opponent was formidable, he unleashed his full power, channeling his inner energy and blood, and kicked at Zheng Lingfeng!
However,
Several times in a row, Zheng Lingfeng calmly dodged Ye Fei's attacks.
Three moves have passed.
"A trivial skill."
He simply snorted coldly, and without making any move, he threw a punch directly!
The punch pierced through the illusion in an instant, striking Ye Fei's chest with perfect precision!
"Bang!"
A muffled thud was accompanied by a clear sound of bone cracking!
Before Ye Fei could even cry out in surprise, he was struck as if by a hammer, sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing directly off the stage.
He crashed to the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fainted!
The entire room fell silent instantly!
Everyone was stunned by this thunderous punch!
Everyone guessed that Zheng Lingfeng was hiding his strength, but no one expected that he would be this strong!
Ye Fei, as the hall master, doesn't even have the right to make his opponent make a serious move?!
The Three Rivers Gang quickly sent people over to check on Ye Fei's injuries.
Fortunately, Ye Fei only fainted and did not die.
Zheng Lingfeng sneered when he saw that Ye Fei was still alive.
"It's been too long since I've used my full strength, so I was a bit too gentle just now, but you won't be so lucky next time!"
Zheng Lingfeng's arrogant words reached everyone's ears.
That punch was so powerful, yet Zheng Lingfeng said he went too lightly?!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Many people on both sides suddenly stood up, their faces filled with horror.
"No wonder... no wonder the Green Robe Gang is so confident!"
Liu Tianyuan of Tian Yuan Escort Agency murmured, " Zheng Lingfeng's strength is definitely far beyond that of an ordinary Sinew and Bone Realm!"
" The Three Rivers Gang is in grave danger!" Exclamations of alarm echoed from the crowd, as most of the spectators were stunned by Zheng Lingfeng's overwhelming strength.
"Hahaha! Heh!"
Seeing the shocked reaction from everyone present, Xiao Yu, the leader of the Green Robe Gang, couldn't help but smile.
He felt immense satisfaction. " Three Rivers Gang, you've been in my trap for a long time, today marks the beginning of your downfall!"
He seemed to have seen the scene of a large territory being occupied by a man.
"Master Zheng is mighty!"
" The Green Robe Gang will win!"
The Green Robe Gang erupted in thunderous cheers, their morale soaring to its peak.
On the other hand, the Three Rivers Gang was shrouded in gloom and despair.
The ordinary members looked worried and whispered among themselves; a sense of unease quickly spread.
The strength of their opponent far exceeded their expectations.
The heads of the halls all had extremely solemn expressions.
Zhao Gang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, " Hall Master Fang is indeed powerful, but this Zheng Lingfeng... his abilities are unfathomable!"
They had confidence in Fang Chen, but Zheng Lingfeng's displayed strength cast a shadow over their newly ignited hopes.
Zhou Boyuan took in everyone's reactions.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to Fang Chen remained calm and composed beside him.
He knew that all his hopes were now pinned on Fang Chen.
"Boss! Let me go!" Hall Master Zhao Gang's eyes were bloodshot.
"I'll risk my life to hurt him a bit!"
"I'll go next time!" Another hall master also volunteered.
"No," Fang Chen's calm voice rang out, but with an undeniable determination, "I'll go on in the next match."
"No!"
Zhou Boyuan immediately objected, but his tone carried a hint of expectation and hesitation.
According to the original plan, Fang Chen was indeed to make a grand entrance, as this would maximize their chances of winning.
Zhao Gang also hurriedly tried to dissuade him. " Hall Master Fang, we appreciate your kindness!"
"But Zheng Lingfeng is not to be underestimated! Let's wear him down first, then you'll have a better chance of winning!"
All the hall masters thought the same thing: let them wear down Zheng Lingfeng more, so that Fang Chen's chances of winning would be greater!
Seeing the resolute expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Chen simply shook his head firmly.
Given Zheng Lingfeng's strength, even if the hall masters went up, they probably wouldn't last a single move, let alone suffer any damage.
Therefore, the original arrangement is no longer suitable for the current situation.
He didn't need to appear last; doing so would only result in the other hall masters being injured or even killed.
Fang Chen said confidently:
"I appreciate your kindness, everyone. But please trust me."
He stepped forward, his eyes blazing, staring intently at Zheng Lingfeng, who stood motionless on the arena.
"Defeat him without injuring any of you."
"I am enough."
After speaking, without waiting for further persuasion from the crowd,
Fang Chen moved swiftly and landed on the arena, meeting Zheng Lingfeng's gaze.
All eyes in the room instantly focused on it!
