A Battle Against Two, Showing His Edge!

A heaven-blessed genius, with boundless potential!

What a pity that Chen Yunxuan didn't know how to keep his strength hidden or bide his time.

Now that he had revealed his talent too soon, how could the Imperial Family possibly let such a future threat live?

The Transcendent Realm was formidable, but the Imperial Family had plenty of Transcendent Realm experts. What's more, those two Grand Elders of the Shangqing Sect were both at the Transcendence Realm Ninth Layer Peak.

"You're Chen Yunxuan, right?"

"You're quite impressive."

"Come to think of it, this grudge is nothing more than some old history between your Chen Family and the Liu Family."

"It hasn't reached the point where one of you has to die."

"If you're willing to join the Shangqing Sect and take me as your master, I can let what happened just now pass."

"What do you think?" Wei Tianfeng asked with a smile.

Win him over?

His first thought was actually to win Chen Yunxuan over?

As expected of a Grand Elder of the Shangqing Sect. He really did think differently.

Many people admired Wei Tianfeng's approach. They hadn't even considered this possibility; they were only concerned with saving face.

"That's right. If you're willing to join the Shangqing Sect, our Imperial Family will let this matter pass as well," said Wu Yuan, the other Grand Elder of the Shangqing Sect.

Wu Yuan was the ancestor of the Great Zhou Imperial Family. His words naturally represented the entire Imperial Family.

"Grandfather! Ancestor, you..."

The Fifth Prince had never expected that one was his maternal grandfather and the other his own ancestor, yet neither of them would take his side. They even wanted to win Chen Yunxuan over?

"Those who achieve great things don't fuss over trifles. Can't you bear even this little grievance?" The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom looked at the Fifth Prince with displeasure.

In truth, if Chen Yunxuan was willing to back down, that would be the best possible outcome.

"Father King! I..."

"Silence!"

The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom barked, then looked toward the Liu Family Head and asked with a smile, "I trust the Liu Family Head won't object?"

"Rest assured, this won't affect the engagement in any way."

Hearing this, the Liu Family Head hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare object. I'll leave everything to the King."

"Good. You're a sensible man." The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom nodded in satisfaction.

Now, everyone's attention was fixed on Chen Yunxuan. After all, the only thing left was for him to make his decision.

Chen Yunxuan glanced at the lofty figures before him and smiled faintly. "I refuse."

"You're... not worthy of making me, Chen Yunxuan, bow my head."

Chen Yunxuan's path of cultivation was one of absolute dominance. How could he possibly choose to bow his head?

Besides, did this little Shangqing Sect really think it was worthy of having him join?

At his words, everyone's expressions changed.

Wei Tianfeng and Wu Yuan, in particular, hadn't expected Chen Yunxuan to show them such blatant disrespect.

After all, in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the two of them stood at the very pinnacle. When had anyone ever dared to act so brazenly?

"Then I take it you'd rather drink a forfeit?" Wei Tianfeng asked coldly.

"What I drink is my own business."

"You... have no say!" Chen Yunxuan replied icily.

"Big words. Let's see what you've got to back them up!"

No one had expected Wei Tianfeng to take action himself. Given his status, attacking a junior personally was beneath him.

Though they thought so, no one dared say it aloud.

"I want to see how much I've gained from all this recent cultivation, too!"

"Your attack is just what I wanted!"

Chen Yunxuan wasn't afraid in the slightest. On the contrary, he grew unusually excited.

Everyone was baffled by his excitement. He was about to die, and he was actually thrilled?

Did he have no desire to live?

The next moment, golden light poured from Chen Yunxuan's body, enveloping him completely.

His figure flashed, turning into a streak of gold as he charged straight at Wei Tianfeng.

Feeling Chen Yunxuan's aura, Wei Tianfeng's heart jolted. There was something strange about this kid!

Boom!

With a deafening crash, Chen Yunxuan's punch actually sent Wei Tianfeng flying back more than ten meters!

Everyone present gaped at the sight.

How could this be?

Wei Tianfeng had been forced back?

One punch had driven Wei Tianfeng back?

"The ancestor was right. Cultivation level is only one part of the equation. Differences in cultivation methods and martial skills can also affect a person's strength."

"Even against someone at the Transcendence Realm Ninth Layer Peak, I can still fight!"

Chen Yunxuan's heart leapt with joy. He now had a better grasp of his own strength.

After all, Chen Yunxuan's power had risen rapidly along the way, but he'd never had the chance to go all out in actual combat.

"You... both of you, come at me!"

Chen Yunxuan pointed toward Wu Yuan in the distance. He wanted to find out whether he could hold his own against two experts at the Transcendence Realm Ninth Layer Peak!

"What? He actually wants to fight them both?"

"Insane! This kid's a complete lunatic!"

"With his Transcendence Realm First Layer cultivation, he sent Wei Tianfeng back with one punch. He's earned the right to be arrogant."

"But Wei Tianfeng was clearly careless just now. He didn't take Chen Yunxuan seriously at all. Now that he's fighting in earnest, the outcome is anyone's guess!"

"That could be true!"

Others might not know, but Wei Tianfeng himself did. He had indeed been careless at first.

But after sensing Chen Yunxuan's powerful aura, he hadn't continued to underestimate him.

That last strike hadn't been his strongest, but he hadn't held back either.

"Kid, don't think a little strength gives you the right to run wild."

"Do you really think I can't beat you?" Wei Tianfeng's expression darkened, and he charged at Chen Yunxuan again.

"Hmph. Then I'll take you on, too."

Wu Yuan didn't choose to stand by and watch. He joined the battle.

With Wu Yuan's arrival, Chen Yunxuan fought the two of them at once, trading blows evenly. For a time, it was impossible to tell who would win.

"How is this possible? How can he be this strong?"

Seeing this, the Fifth Prince began to question everything he believed.

The Liu Family regretted it more than anyone.

The Chen Family had truly risen—and at such an astonishing speed!

Liu Mengyan's gaze toward Chen Yunxuan changed as well. This was what a true genius looked like, a true heaven's favored son.

If she could marry someone like him, wouldn't her life be much better from then on?

"Give the order. Gather every soldier stationed near the capital and deploy them around the palace."

"If anything goes wrong, have them swarm him and unleash a rain of arrows."

"I refuse to believe the kid won't run out of strength eventually."

"We absolutely cannot let him leave the palace alive."

The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom could now see things clearly. Reconciliation was impossible, and there was no chance to make Chen Yunxuan apologize.

That left only one thing to do: kill him.

"Interesting. Truly interesting."

"I never imagined that a young man like this would exist in your little Great Zhou Kingdom."

"It seems this trip of mine truly hasn't been in vain."
