"You won't be able to kill anyone!"
Fang Ping said coldly, raising his blade as he stepped onto the stage.
"Ridiculous!"
Gu Qing sneered, looking at Fang Ping with contempt.
"Even if you are a human prodigy on the Heavenly Pride Ranking of the Human Realm, you still cannot escape death when facing me!"
He was a peerless prodigy at the Nine Forgings of Spiritual Sense, reaching the Dual Avatar Origin Stage Ten within the Rank Nine Realm!
If the Sky Screen were to rank the prodigies of the Three Realms, he would certainly be on the list, and likely near the top!
Even though he had dropped one rank and his Mental Energy had been scorched, he could still slaughter human martial artists of the same rank with ease!
A scarlet blood-red hue flickered in the depths of Gu Qing's eyes, and invisible killing intent began to permeate the stage!
He would let his opponent know the true terror of death the moment Fang Ping fully stepped onto the stage!
"Die!"
Seeing Fang Ping fully ascend the stage, Gu Qing let out a low roar, his body turning into a phantom as he instantly charged at Fang Ping!
Fang Ping let out a low shout, neither dodging nor evading, and slashed out with his blade, the blade light sharp and fierce!
"Hah!"
Gu Qing sneered, his figure flickering to dodge the long blade, appearing right in front of Fang Ping in the blink of an eye!
The next second, Gu Qing's eyes turned vicious, and his Mental Energy erupted suddenly, attempting to intimidate Fang Ping!
"Mental Energy intimidation! This man is in danger!"
Below the stage, someone exclaimed in shock!
Fu Changding, Han Xu, and Zhao Lei all changed expressions upon hearing this, staring at the stage nervously with sweaty palms!
"Get lost!"
Divine light burst from Fang Ping's eyes as he roared, throwing a punch without the slightest hesitation!
Boom!
Gu Qing spat blood and flew backward, staring at Fang Ping in disbelief.
Why?!
Why was this man not intimidated by his Mental Energy!
"Slash!"
Fang Ping shouted violently, charging forward with his blade. His figure was like a shadow, using Cloud Step to teleport, arriving above Gu Qing's head in the blink of an eye!
One could see the long blade flickering with sharp light, descending with a speed invisible to the naked eye!
"Trifling tricks!"
Gu Qing sneered, not dodging, but instead throwing a punch defiantly!
His physical body might be weak, but how could a mere Rank One martial artist possibly hurt him?
However, the next moment, Gu Qing's expression changed instantly, his eyes trembling as he hurriedly retreated to dodge!
"Slash!"
Fang Ping roared, slashing again instantly!
Three consecutive strikes, Vitality raging!
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Gu Qing flew backward, blood splattering from his mouth, his collarbone and chest nearly split open!
"How is this possible!"
Gu Qing roared!
Three consecutive slashes, with Vitality bursts exceeding 200 cal!
But this man was clearly only at the Rank One Realm, with a maximum Vitality of just over 300 cal; bursting 200 cal of Vitality at once should have left him weakened!
Yet he was still jumping around—where did he get so much Vitality!
Before Gu Qing could think further, Fang Ping slashed down again!
"Damn it!"
Gu Qing's face turned pale, a fierce look flashing in his eyes as he erupted with intense Vitality and Mental Energy!
He refused to believe this man still had strength left after three slashes!
However, Fang Ping was not just slashing once; he unleashed another three consecutive strikes!
"Impossible!"
Gu Qing stared at the falling blade, his eyes filled with extreme malice!
Another burst of over 200 cal of Vitality!
How is this possible!
It was over 200 cal before, and now it is over 200 cal again...
How could a Rank-1 martial artist unleash two consecutive bursts of Vitality exceeding 200 cal!
"No!"
Gu Qing's face was filled with despair!
He was unwilling to accept this!
He was a peerless genius from three thousand years ago!
He was the original body, a peerless genius whose clone had reached the tenth stage of the Origin and possessed 10,000 Hz of Mental Energy, the future second Emperor-level powerhouse of Pingyu Heaven!
Given another hundred years, both his original body and his clone would have advanced to True God, and with the two bodies merged into one, he would have become the strongest among the True Gods!
How could he die at the hands of a mere ant!
"Squelch!"
Split in two, Gu Qing's eyes were filled with extreme resentment before they instantly dimmed and lost their light.
"Senior Brother Gu!"
On the side of Pingyu Heaven, everyone turned deathly pale and cried out in agony!
Pingyu Emperor Venerable's expression was cold and frozen, incomparably gloomy!
The most outstanding disciple of his Pingyu Heaven had actually died at the hands of a human Rank-1 martial artist!
Utterly hateful!
King Feng of the Earth Cave had an ashen face, gritting his teeth as he stared at Fang Ping with venomous eyes.
"This person is not right!"
"The Vitality he unleashed is inconceivable!"
"The genius martial artists of the human race are incredible!"
A Rank-1 martial artist was actually able to unleash a Vitality burst as high as 500 cal!
He could even remain immune to Gu Qing's Mental Energy shock!
This person was either the Future Human King or the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor!
King Ming's pupils also trembled, his mind shaken!
Liu Ji, Feng Jiucheng, Gu Qing!
Three Rank-9 martial artists who had fallen in rank had died at the hands of human genius martial artists in less than a quarter of an hour!
Among the Rank-1s, who else could kill these two?!
In the void, King Xun and King Gen had divine light erupting from their eyes!
In just a short while, the human race had already produced two peerless geniuses who were invincible at their own rank!
Both of these individuals were extremely bizarre!
The Future Human King and the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor were likely these two!
In the shadows, King Huai could not help but take a deep breath!
The human genius martial artists were too strange!
Even martial artists who had fallen from Rank-9 were not their match, but were instead killed by them!
"Terrifying!"
King Huai sighed, fortunate that he had not sent his own subordinates to their deaths.
Far away, hiding in the void, Feng's eyes flickered as he kept sizing up Fang Ping and Zhang Xuan.
"The person who went on stage first is Zhang Xuan, ranked twentieth on the human Heavenly Pride Ranking.
The other person is not a martial artist on the human Heavenly Pride Ranking... Is this person ranked at the very top of the human Heavenly Pride Ranking?"
Feng saw through the disguises placed on Fang Ping and Zhang Xuan by the Heaven Suppressing King and the God Forger at a single glance.
As a Heavenly King of Breaking Eight who specialized in the path of Mental Energy, and furthermore the chief disciple under the Heaven Extinguishing Emperor, his Mental Energy was extremely formidable!
Seeing through the disguise was normal; if he couldn't, it would have been a blow to his prestige.
The Human Emperor and the Seed also had infiltrations in the Human Realm; the appearances of all martial artists who made it onto the human Heavenly Pride Ranking had already been circulated.
Feng's eyes flickered; he felt that it was unlikely that either Zhang Xuan or the other person was the Future Human King.
Instead, it was highly probable that they were carriers of the Three Emperors Great Dao, or perhaps mutant martial artists born to meet the needs of the era!
If he were Zhang Tao, how could he possibly bring the still-weak Future Human King to participate in a Martial Dao Tournament specifically targeting the Future Human King?
Could Zhang Tao be so certain that the Future Human King would be invincible at the same rank and suffer no mishaps?
The Future Human King was the future of the human race; if something went wrong, what would become of the human race?
Zhang Tao and the human leadership would surely keep the still-weak Future Human King protected in the shadows!
Perhaps these two were just decoys set up by Zhang Tao!
He intentionally led the powerhouses of the Three Realms to believe that Zhang Xuan and the other person might be the reincarnations of the Future Human King or the Demon Emperor, shifting their attention to sacrifice the pawns to save the rook!
In the Heavenly Fate Royal Court camp, Ji Yao's phoenix eyes narrowed!
"Two bursts of vitality exceeding 200 cards... this person is just as bizarre as the one before!"
Ji Yao's martial arts experience was not insignificant, and she knew very well that even the prodigies of the Forbidden Zone could not unleash a Vitality Blade Slash of over 200 cards while at the peak of the First Grade!
For this person to unleash two such bursts while in the First Grade was simply inconceivable!
Ji Yao scrutinized Fang Ping and Zhang Xuan, thinking to herself, "Which one of them is truly the Future Human King?"
On the arena, Fang Ping panted heavily, drenched in sweat!
Watching Zhang Xuan take down opponents one by one from below the stage, he had thought it looked easy, never expecting that this person could unleash Mental Energy, making him so difficult to kill!
Fortunately, his system could replenish Mental Energy; otherwise, he feared he might have truly been killed by his opponent!
Fang Ping felt a lingering fear. Gasping for air, he first crushed the opponent's skull before hurriedly beginning to loot the corpse.
Once he finished looting, he leaped off the arena and swallowed several medicinal pills, creating the illusion of rapidly absorbing them.
At this moment, the powerhouses of the Three Realms were all staring at Fang Ping.
"This!"
In less than three minutes, everyone watched as the withered vitality on Fang Ping's body gradually began to rise, and in another moment, it would be restored to its peak.
"What kind of bizarre constitution is this?"
A Great Emperor from the Heaven Beyond Heaven could not help but whisper.
The Earth Cave True Kings, such as King Ming and King Feng, also frowned.
King Xun, King Gen, and others had divine light erupting in their eyes, wishing to see through the mystery.
But with the Heaven Suppressing King and the Martial King Zhang Tao present, they dared not directly probe the changes within Fang Ping's body and could only speculate.
King Ming's eyes flickered with thought: "Could this person have consumed a massive amount of medicinal pills before the match, allowing him to unleash vitality beyond the norm?"
King Ming and the others furrowed their brows tightly.
Regardless, this person must be killed!
King Ming shouted: "Bao Yun, you challenge him. You must blast this person to death!"
In the three battles so far, if it weren't for the fact that the martial artists from the Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Boundary Land were too arrogant to use self-detonation to blow up human martial artists, some of the human prodigies would surely have been killed by now!
"Yes!"
Bao Yun wore a cruel expression; offering his life for the King was his honor!
Bao Yun stepped onto the arena, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Fang Ping: "Human, I am going to slaughter you!"
"Arrogant!"
Fu Changding, Zhao Lei, and Chen Jiasheng all turned cold!
Zhang Xuan whispered: "This person will likely try to blast us to death through self-detonation."
Fang Ping took a deep breath: "I'll go."
Han Xu stepped forward: "I'll take this round!"
"If he wants to self-detonate, he must get close to me, but I won't give him the chance!"
Zhang Xuan asked: "Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Yes!"
Han Xu gripped his long spear, his expression solemn!
With ten people sent on this expedition, how could he let Zhang Xuan and Fang Ping take on all the danger?
"Fine, then you go!"
"Come back alive!"
Han Xu nodded: "Rest assured."
Han Xu hoisted his spear and stepped onto the stage, waiting seriously!
"Bao Yun, do not underestimate the enemy, blast him to death immediately!"
King Feng shouted, fearing a situation where he might be counter-killed.
Bao Yun nodded.
As soon as Han Xu stepped onto the stage, Bao Yun charged over frantically.
Han Xu remained calm and composed, leaping into the air as his long spear struck toward Bao Yun's head with the force of a thunderbolt!
"Hah!"
Bao Yun sneered in disdain, punching the spear tip aside!
Although he was not a fallen Ninth Grade, he was still a powerhouse who had fallen to the Sixth Grade!
The long spear moved like a shadow, thrusting toward his head once again like a ghost!
Bao Yun let out an angry roar and grabbed the spearhead with his hand.
"Give it to me, come here!"
A cold glint flashed in Han Xu's eyes; he quickly twisted the spear and drew a thin sword from within it!
The sword was like a phantom, striking out in an instant and piercing through the opponent's skull with lightning speed!
Han Xu did not stop; he quickly pulled the spear back and thrust it through the opponent's neck!
Seeing that Bao Yun was dead beyond any doubt, Han Xu kicked the corpse toward the human side and jumped off the arena before he started looting the body.
Looting a body on the arena was too unsafe; what if someone suddenly stepped onto the stage to ambush him?
He didn't have the formidable strength of Fang Ping or Zhang Xuan to dare loot a body on the arena in front of everyone.
Besides, looting a body in front of the powerhouses of the Three Realms and the Earth Cave True Kings made him feel a bit uncomfortable and creeped out.
Zhang Xuan looked at Han Xu and clicked his tongue.
He was the one who had taught Fang Ping, Han Xu, and the others to loot the bodies of the opponents they killed.
He hadn't expected Han Xu to surpass his teacher!
Fang Ping wore an expression of having learned something new.
On the Earth Cave side, an Earth Cave True King's face turned livid!
"Sword Hidden in Spear!"
"Despicable, humans are actually this insidious and vicious!"
"That's four consecutive losses!"
King Hua murmured softly; this was only the Rank One tournament, and the Earth Cave and Heaven Beyond Heaven had already suffered four consecutive losses.
King Ming's expression was gloomy, his eyes flickering with a venomous light.
Since they couldn't win the Rank One tournament, then the Rank Two tournament and the Secret Realm tournament would surely make the humans pay a heavy price!
"Hu Xiao, She Ye... you go and challenge the human Rank Two martial artists, crush and kill them!"
"E Lun, Hu Shan... you six, challenge that person consecutively; do not give him a chance to catch his breath!"
"Yes, King!"
In the human camp, Chen Jiasheng gripped his Wu Hook tightly and said in a deep voice:
"I'll go this time!"
Among the peak Rank Two camp, Xie Lei, who had undergone Triple Bone Honing, was the first to step onto the arena.
Since they were all at Triple Bone Honing, if Fang Ping and Han Xu could kill their enemies, he couldn't afford to lose face either!
At the same time, Inside the Secret Realm, Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and the other ten Rank Four martial artists had not gone far.
As soon as they entered the Secret Realm, they began preparing to ambush the Earth Cave martial artists!
"The Earth Cave, Heaven Beyond Heaven, and other factions have surely united, attempting to surround and kill us. We must never give them the chance to fully converge!"
Wang Jinyang's expression was grave.
The Earth Cave, Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Boundary Land... if these factions united, it would be a hundred people surrounding and killing ten!
With such a lopsided ratio, even if he, Yao Chengjun, and Li Hansong could kill ten people each, they couldn't possibly kill a hundred!
They would eventually reach a point of exhaustion.
Therefore, it was better to ambush them in groups of ten!
Each faction entered the Secret Realm at intervals, and this interval was the best time for them to ambush the others!
Even if they couldn't wipe out all the factions, ambushing the Earth Cave martial artists and one or two Heaven Beyond Heaven factions was still achievable.
Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and the others nodded.
This was the battle plan they had formulated from the very beginning: strike first to gain the advantage!
The Secret Realm was transformed from an Earth Cave environment, featuring stone forests and mountain forests; the entrance to the Secret Realm happened to be a small, undulating stone forest.
At this moment, at the entrance of the Secret Realm.
The Earth Cave martial artists glared with wide, bloodshot eyes!
Feng Miesheng, a peak Rank Four, gritted his teeth:
"The human martial artists dared to kill my Prince's uncle; I will surely make them wish they were dead!"
"Prince Feng, no need to worry. As long as we converge with the martial artists from Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Boundary Land inside the Secret Realm, a hundred people surrounding and killing the human martial artists means the humans will undoubtedly die!"
In the void, King Feng transmitted his voice: "Once you enter the Secret Realm, spare no cost to slaughter the human martial artists!"
"Remember, at all costs, even if it means self-detonation, do not hesitate!"
Feng Miesheng and the other nine heard this, the resentment in their eyes growing even more intense.
It was not resentment toward the True King, but toward the human martial artists!
"Yes!"
"Enter the Secret Realm!"
The next moment, Feng Miesheng and the nine others stepped into the Secret Realm!
Ji Yao watched as Feng Miesheng and the others entered the Secret Realm, biting her red lips as she murmured:
"Who will win?"
She was not participating in the competition; King Ming had not allowed her to.
As a reserve Emperor-level talent, King Ming had not agreed to let Ji Yao fight to the death against human martial artists.
King Ming had brought her to the Outer Region partly because he wanted her to witness a grand spectacle.
On the other hand, King Ming had considered the special relationship between Ji Yao and the Future Human King, wanting to see if she could identify the Future Human King in advance.
Inside the Secret Realm, Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, and Li Hansong stared at the entrance of the Secret Realm, whispering in their hearts:
"The Earth Cave martial artists have arrived!"
