At this moment:
For dozens of miles around the gate, all was silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Countless venerable figures stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding on the arena, utterly dumbfounded.
Behind the array gate, the members of the Eighteen-Family Alliance were also dumbfounded.
They never imagined things would turn out this way, not even in their wildest dreams.
Although the young man surnamed Chen's aura was obscure and it was difficult to determine his exact cultivation level, he was definitely still at the Spirit Origin Realm, not the True Gang Realm.
But what was the result?
Zhang Tianjiu, who was also at the Spirit Origin Realm and was renowned among the Eighteen-Family Alliance, even considered the best, was utterly defeated by this young man surnamed Chen.
Even the way they failed was almost identical to the previous few people.
Just who is this young man surnamed Chen?
On the arena, Zhang Tianjiu, forced to his knees by immense pressure and unable to move, trembled all over, his eyes bloodshot, and his heart filled with humiliation.
Utter disgrace! Utter disgrace!!
He was the young master of the Canhe Zhang Family, a man revered by all; how could he have ever suffered such humiliation?
However
The thought of the unfathomable strength of the person opposite him filled him with a tremendous sense of defeat.
Damn it! How can there be so many monsters in this world?
Can one just pop up out of nowhere?
On the other side of the ring:
That's it?
Chen Qingyu shook his head and sighed.
His purpose in coming to Heavenly Sword Mountain was not only to admire the demeanor of the Saint King, but also to find a few suitable opponents to hone his spiritual techniques.
But his four opponents were all all talk and no action; they couldn't even get him to warm up.
It seems that among the younger Lingyuan Venerables in the Eighteen-Family Alliance, there are none stronger.
That's really disappointing.
His gaze swept around the area, then landed behind the array gate, and he said loudly:
The Eighteen-Family Alliance —does anyone have True Gang Realm Venerable? Someone come forward!
Let's fight on the fifth Contesting Platform!
After the previous battles, he had come to understand:
He had lived in the Divine Capital for too long and was unaware of the hardships of ordinary people, and he thought that his rivals of the same level in the outside world were too strong.
Even though his spiritual arts were only at the minor completion stage, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and those at the Spirit Origin Realm; they were worlds apart.
For example, this Zhang Tianjiu in front of us:
The Spirit Origin Realm Ninth Heaven, whose cultivation far surpassed his and whose spiritual techniques were nearing perfection, didn't even qualify him to use his full power.
Fighting these people again would just be bullying children. If we're going to fight, we should fight True Gang Realm Venerable. That would be worthwhile!
Upon hearing Chen Qingyu's words, the room fell silent once again.
The hundreds of thousands of venerable ones on the periphery couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions varied.
A Venerable of the Spirit Origin Realm boldly declared that he would transcend a major realm and challenge a Venerable of the True Gang Realm?
Such a scene usually only appears in the stories of legendary figures; in reality, this was truly the first time they had witnessed it.
So this is just the beginning of the real show!
Yes, the Eighteen-Family Alliance is destined to lose face this time; they can't agree to it, nor can they disagree.
If they actually agree, wouldn't True Gang Realm Venerable be shameless for bullying the weak?
Tsk tsk tsk, does this guy have a grudge against the Eighteen-Family Alliance? Is he deliberately looking for trouble?
Many venerable figures discussed the matter with schadenfreude, all preparing to see the Eighteen-Family Alliance make a fool of itself.
That's enough!
A furious shout came from below the arena.
The dark-faced middle-aged man could no longer bear it. He suddenly deactivated the light barrier on the arena and leaped onto the stage.
Your esteemed presence is so aggressive, repeatedly humiliating our Eighteen-Family Alliance!
His expression was unfriendly as he stared coldly at Chen Qingyu.
You want to fight a True Gang Realm Venerable?
Alright! I'll grant your wish!
Things have come to this point:
The Eighteen-Family Alliance have all been forced into a sorry state.
Even at the risk of being branded as a bully, we must teach this young man surnamed Chen a lesson; we cannot allow him to trample on the face of the alliance.
As soon as he finished speaking:
The dark-faced middle-aged man had already leaped out, landing directly on the last Contesting Platform. He looked at Chen Qingyu, who was still standing in place, and shouted:
What, you dare not?
Chen Qingyu laughed loudly:
This is what I desire; what is there to be afraid of?
With a thought, he released the Wind Riding Technique and leaped towards the fifth Contesting Platform.
Hoo hoo
Zhang Tianjiu was suddenly freed. He breathed heavily for a moment, then silently stepped off the stage, staring intently at the last Contesting Platform without uttering a word.
Buzz!
A much thicker white light barrier rose up, enveloping the arena.
Inside the array gate, the old man at the Divine Ability Realm reappeared, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the two on the arena.
This person's origins are unknown, but given his formidable strength, he must come from an extraordinary background.
It would be a bad thing to offend him rashly.
However, things have already come to this point, and there's no turning back.
The old man sighed inwardly and could only slowly speak:
The battle begins!
The words had barely left his lips:
Chen Qingyu raised his hand again and casually used the Wind Riding Technique to condense Gang Qi Prison.
However this time:
boom!
The dark-faced middle-aged man opposite him unleashed his True Gang, easily shattering the surrounding invisible Gang Qi and breaking free from its restraints.
This one move alone clearly shows the difference in skill between him and the previous opponents!
After achieving the True Gang Realm, True Essence transforms into True Gang Power, which not only possesses the profound mystery of condensing all things and manifesting true forms, but its pure power is also increased more than tenfold!
This dark-faced middle-aged man wasn't practicing any profound martial arts manuals; his cultivation level was at most at the first or second level of the True Gang Realm.
But his strength still far surpasses Zhang Tianjiu's, by at least several times!
So, that's all you're capable of?
He turned to Chen Qingyu across from him and said sarcastically:
With such petty tricks, relying on their unpredictable and cunning nature to ambush several promising young talents, they dare to shamelessly slander our Eighteen-Family Alliance?
He knew, of course, that the young man surnamed Chen opposite him was far stronger than Zhang Tianjiu.
But since things had come to this point, in order to salvage the reputation of the Eighteen-Family Alliance, he had no choice but to speak up, deliberately ridiculing and suppressing him.
Kid, listen up!
I don't care whose descendant you are, today I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders, so you'll know what it means to be arrogant and ignorant!
As soon as he finished speaking:
His body burst into black flames, and he instantly shot forward, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him.
This speed far exceeds ten times the speed of sound, yet there is no sonic boom or shockwave, clearly due to the profound power of True Gang.
boom!
He threw a punch straight at Chen Qingyu's chest.
Even though he was consumed by rage, he did not lose his mind. This young man surnamed Chen had an unknown background and was extremely powerful, so he must be of noble birth.
He only intended to teach him a lesson, not to kill him, so he didn't even use any spiritual magic.
Chen boy!
I'll show you what True Gang energy is all about!
