Arena Challenge Begins
The day of the challenge has arrived.
Martial Proclamation District has become unprecedentedly prosperous.
The seats around the arena were already full of people.
Even the surrounding area where people could see the ring was "climbed" with people.
Even so, it cannot accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
In the past, the City Lord's Manor would charge an entrance fee for the duels, but this time the challenge was free, so how could everyone not come to watch?
Just as those who couldn't squeeze into Martial Proclamation District were feeling extremely frustrated, suddenly, four huge light screens lit up above Martial Proclamation District.
Anyone in the entire Azure Cloud City who wants to watch can see what's happening on the arena through the light screen.
Some intelligent people's expressions changed immediately upon seeing the four enormous light screens.
The spies from the major sects, in particular, looked extremely solemn.
They all knew very well that this light barrier possessed the power of Immortal Artifact.
The Azure Cloud Sect used the power of Immortal Artifact for a challenge; how could it be so simple?
The last time the Azure Cloud Sect did this was during a military exercise.
That time it was to intimidate other sects in the world; what is the purpose of using the power of Immortal Artifact this time?
Most of the Rogue Cultivator in Azure Cloud City lacked the knowledge and insight of the spies from major sects. In their view, this might be the result of a Dao technique from someone at the Dao Integration Realm.
Wei Fang, the Wei Fang of the Hundred Battles Hall, looked at the four light screens in the air and smiled slightly, "It seems that the Azure Cloud Sect is taking this very seriously, actually having Dao Integration Realm cultivator use their Dao techniques to display the challenge to everyone."
"I have a bad feeling about this," a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator said, frowning.
Wei Fang smiled faintly, "There's nothing to worry about. We've already discussed it and arranged for some people to wear down Zhang Yang's strength in advance. Once it's almost gone, we can go on stage."
"No matter how strong Zhang Yang is, he can't possibly defeat more than fifty of us at the Primordial Spirit Realm."
"All three of us possess Spirit Artifact, so we are confident that we can secure an opportunity for our organization," one of the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators with Spirit Artifact said confidently.
While the many Primordial Spirit Realm were discussing the matter, Zhang Yang's figure gracefully descended from the Azure Cloud Sect and landed on the arena.
Zhang Yang chuckled and looked around, asking, "Who among you has decided to challenge me? Stand up so I can see."
Wei Fang and the others all stood up.
There are a total of fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm.
"So many!" Zhang Yang seemed somewhat surprised. "Did anyone voluntarily withdraw?"
The fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm exchanged glances and, seeing that none of them intended to withdraw, couldn't help but smile.
Wei Fang said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, we have already decided to take the challenge, and no one will back out."
"Sigh!" Zhang Yang sighed, shook his head and said, "I originally thought there were only a few people, and I was planning to take a day to have a good competition with you."
With so many of you, it might be impossible to finish the comparison in one day!
"Alright then, I'll take the loss, and you all come up here!"
"What?"
The fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm were stunned.
The other onlookers were also stunned.
Those are fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm. Even fifty-three Nascent Soul Realm wouldn't be someone a single Primordial Spirit Realm could withstand, right?
Zhang Yang's intention was to simultaneously engage in a decisive battle with fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm?
Wei Fang asked uncertainly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you want us to go up to the arena together?"
"That's right!" Zhang Yang nodded. "I'm busy cultivating and don't have time to challenge you all one by one. So, I might as well let you all come up together."
"But..."
"Don't worry, even if I lose, what I promised you still stands!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "So many people in Azure Cloud City are watching. If I lose, I won't interfere in your gang's affairs anymore, so you don't need to worry at all."
Wei Fang and the others were completely baffled. In their view, Zhang Yang was simply incapable of facing so Primordial Spirit Realm.
What kind of move was Zhang Yang making?
Soon, Wei Fang and the others realized that Zhang Yang might not have intended to manage their gang in the first place, and that's why he used this tactic.
Facing fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm, it would be perfectly reasonable for Zhang Yang to lose.
Then, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable to simply stop interfering in the affairs of student organizations?
At this moment, Li Yuanfu and the other members of the various organizations that were preparing to move away from Azure Cloud City to establish their own sects felt a pang of regret.
Creating a sect is a good idea, but nothing compares to staying in Azure Cloud City.
Even Xie Hong, who had already accepted Azure Cloud City's supervision, felt somewhat uneasy.
Does this mean that the Azure Cloud Sect truly allows the existence of organized groups?
At Karmic Origin Temple, Wu Ye looked at the enormous light screen and asked Wu Fa, "Senior brother, what is Zhang Yang up to? Logically speaking, the Azure Cloud Sect shouldn't allow these kinds of organizations to exist!"
Wu Fa smiled slightly, "Since you know this principle, how could Zhang Yang not know it?"
"So..."
Wu Ye stared blankly at Zhang Yang on the arena on the light screen, somewhat shocked.
He had personally experienced Zhang Yang's terrifying power on the Prodigy Battlefield, and he admitted that Zhang Yang was indeed terrifying.
But this is no longer the Prodigy Battlefield!
Has his combat strength reached this level?
Wu Fa glanced at Wu Ye but said nothing.
At this moment, Wei Fang and the others around the arena, after thinking it over, all felt that Zhang Yang was probably deliberately looking for a way to back down.
Of course they agreed to this.
The group of the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators exchanged messages via Divine Sense: "Since he wants to save face, let's do that. Everyone, be careful not to actually hurt him, lest we anger the experts of the Azure Cloud Sect."
Subsequently, the fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators stepped onto the arena.
The arena was only about thirty feet in circumference, so even with so many people standing on it, there was still enough space.
Wei Fang smiled and said to Zhang Yang, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, let's stop here!"
He was implying that he would give Zhang Yang a decent chance.
However, they were completely unaware that a terrifying cage had already enveloped the arena.
At this moment, no one can leave the arena without Azure Cloud Master's permission.
Zhang Yang looked at the fifty-three Primordial Spirit Realm and asked, "Aren't you going to make a move?"
"Fellow Daoist, please make your move!" a Primordial Spirit Realm said politely.
Zhang Yang smiled faintly, "Then I'll make my move!"
He flashed and appeared in front of a Primordial Spirit Realm, throwing a punch.
The Divine Sense in the Primordial Spirit Realm sensed something was wrong. With a thought, he activated his defensive magic to block in front of him.
However, a golden light flashed on Zhang Yang's palm, changing his fist into a palm, with Yin-Yang Sword Intent enveloping his hand. With Zhang Yang's physique, his palm instantly transformed into a sword, piercing through the Primordial Spirit Realm's defensive shield in an instant, and thrusting into the Primordial Spirit Realm's chest, piercing through the Primordial Spirit Realm's body.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yang's arm suddenly trembled, and his body, which was at the Primordial Spirit Realm, was shattered into several pieces, with blood splattering on the spot.
