A Rest by the Lake! Surrounded by Powerful Enemies?

At the same time, Xuanyuan Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief upon seeing this.

The image of Chen Changqing wielding the Haotian Hammer was still vivid in his mind.

"The Second Branch has the most members at this Annual Competition."

"Before Xuanyuan Long returned, they were even the most favored to win the championship."

"But now, Changqing has swept them all away by himself?"

Xuanyuan Yun sighed inwardly, his breathing becoming rapid and disordered.

Shocked, she took a deep breath, glanced at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu beside her, and whispered in admiration:

"My daughter has really found a wonderful husband!"

On the other side, beneath the Dragon Pillar where the Fifth Branch is located.

"Gurgle!"

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but swallow hard.

"This?"

"He eliminated the Second Branch single-handedly?"

"Is he... even human?"

Xuanyuan Jin gasped inwardly, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.

Previously, within the Battle Realm, he had originally planned to use Chen Changqing as a scapegoat to eliminate the Ninth Branch first.

Little did they know that Chen Changqing's strength far exceeded their expectations, and he even possessed the Immortal Artifact Haotian Hammer.

In the end, with just one strike, they eliminated the entire Fifth Branch.

Now, seeing so many people from the Second Branch fall into Chen Changqing's hands, Xuanyuan Jin was shocked, but also felt a little better.

"Is this kid... really that powerful?"

Upon seeing this, Daoist Duobao glanced at him, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

He harbored deep resentment towards Chen Changqing.

After all, over the long years, most of the magical Law Artifacts he had collected had been destroyed by Chen Changqing's Immortal Artifacts.

In addition, Daoist Duobao also secretly coveted the Immortal Artifact on Chen Changqing's body.

Seeing that he had single-handedly eliminated over a hundred people from the Second Branch, Daoist Duobao began to have doubts.

Meanwhile, in the void.

When Xuanyuan Tian, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, saw Chen Changqing eliminate the Fifth Branch and Second Branch one after another, his expression darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"This Chen Changqing does have some skill; he's not just a name without substance."

"Unfortunately, what good is his strength?"

"Ao'er and Long'er are also among those who have entered the Battle Realm to participate in the Annual Competition."

Thinking of Xuanyuan Ao of the Seventh Branch and Xuanyuan Long of the First Branch, a smug smile immediately appeared on Xuanyuan Tian's face.

After all, these two are the most outstanding talents among the Xuanyuan Clan, and their cultivation has already reached the Tribulation Transcendence.

Xuanyuan Long, in particular, was a disciple of a true Immortal, and naturally, the Immortal Method he learned were also passed down by the Immortal.

In Xuanyuan Tian's view, Chen Changqing's performance was very formidable.

However, if they encounter Xuanyuan Ao and Xuanyuan Long, they will only be eliminated.

Just as everyone was in shock, a burst of light suddenly flashed from the Dragon Pillar where the Second Branch was located.

Then, Xuanyuan Zhan, Xuanyuan Ge, and Xiao Xiong from the Giant Spirit Sect were teleported out of the Battle Realm.

Upon their appearance, the members of the Second Branch were all exhausted and severely injured, staggering about, devoid of any Essence Qi.

"Hateful!"

"Chen Changqing, I... I'll remember you!"

Xuanyuan Zhan roared inwardly, extremely unwilling to be eliminated like this, but the facts were right in front of him, and he was helpless.

"One day, I will definitely defeat you!"

Although eliminated, Xuanyuan Zhan was still full of fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, within the Battle Realm, the struggle between various factions continues.

After eliminating Xuanyuan Zhan Yuanzhan and the others from the Second Branch, Chen Changqing did not linger and continued to travel along the plain.

Before long, the man had left the plain and arrived at a lakeside.

The shimmering lake water and the gentle breeze gave Chen Changqing a sense of tranquility and joy.

"That's enough."

Let's take a short rest by the lake!

"I wonder how many factions have been eliminated?"

Chen Changqing muttered to himself, then found a spot by the lake and lazily lay down.

He hadn't been asleep for long when a commotion suddenly came from not far away.

"Um?"

Upon sensing the sound, Chen Changqing frowned slightly, then sat up slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon closer inspection, a group of people appeared to his left.

Leading the group was a handsome young man with a folding fan in his hand; he was none other than Xuanyuan Ce, the Third Branch of the Xuanyuan Clan.

Beside Xuanyuan Ce followed a graceful woman with an ethereal aura; she was not Long Yue, the External Aids Xuanyuan Ce had invited from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Both Xuanyuan Ce and Long Yue were at the Late Spirit Transformation.

Behind the two were more than a dozen people, each with a powerful aura.

After appearing, Xuanyuan Ce and the others turned their gazes and stared directly at Chen Changqing. Their calm expressions clearly showed that they had already locked onto Chen Changqing.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing looked unconvinced, then leaned back and continued to sleep.

"This?"

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Ce's expression suddenly darkened. He hadn't expected Chen Changqing to be so nonchalant when facing them.

His nonchalant demeanor suggested that he didn't take the people of his Third Branch seriously at all.

"Is Chen Changqing really that arrogant?"

"They actually ignore us?"

Xuanyuan Ce said coldly.

Hearing this, Long Yue smiled charmingly and replied:

"Young Master Ce, Chen Changqing was once the Azure Dragon Ranking, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant."

Long Yue came from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Others might not know this, but she was very clear about the prestige of Azure Dragon Ranking.

After all, that was a ranking list that covered the entire Nine Provinces Continent.

"Call..."

After listening to what Long Yue said, Xuanyuan Ce let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to release all the pent-up frustration in his heart.

Just then, another unexpected event occurred.

"Whoosh..."

All that could be heard were the sounds of something cutting through the air.

Following the sound, they saw more than a dozen figures descending out of thin air from the direction to Chen Changqing's right.

The leader, dressed in a plain-colored wide robe, possessed a refined and scholarly air, resembling a learned man. He was none other than Xuanyuan Wen, the prodigy of the Fourth Branch of the Xuanyuan Clan.

Following closely beside Xuanyuan Wen was an old Daoist priest dressed in a Bagua robe, exuding Dao Resonance. He was Pei Xiu from the Innate Dao Academy.

Sensing the commotion, Chen Changqing remained unmoved, not even getting up, and continued to lie in place.

"Um?"

"It's Xuanyuan Wen and his group!"

On the contrary, Xuanyuan Ce of the Third Branch couldn't help but look nervous when he saw the person who came.

They originally came here for Chen Changqing, but unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Wen and his group came from another direction.

After Xuanyuan Wen arrived, he first looked at Xuanyuan Ce and the others before turning his gaze to Chen Changqing.

Upon seeing Chen Changqing's indifference towards them, even the usually gentle and refined Xuanyuan Wen was enraged.

"Snort!"

"This kid is really arrogant!"

"He's surrounded by powerful enemies now, yet he acts like nothing's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Wen said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xiu, the old Daoist priest from the Innate Dao Academy, smiled faintly and said:

"Young Master Wen, perhaps he's just feigning composure!"
