The blade touched and collided with the fingertips.
Like a lizard's toe, a finger was raised in front of the Your Highness Sixty-Four's chest, and a sharp, piercing sound erupted the moment it clashed with the blade.
An incredibly powerful shockwave erupted from the point where the two collided, sweeping across the entire platform and even engulfing the onlookers below!
The Your Highness Sixty-Four's red hair whipped wildly backward in the explosive impact, but his toes didn't budge an inch, and he stood firmly in place, taking the blow.
It only took...
One finger.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Alien Race royal family member, the Your Highness Sixty-Four, smiled contemptuously and raised his eyes to look at the young man opposite him.
Is that all?
In that instant, everyone, including Ming Shou, lost the ability to think and their faces showed horror.
How is this possible?
It must be fake!
That incredibly powerful strike was something even some of them, as senior members, wouldn't dare say they could withstand without suffering a loss within the same realm. Yet, this Alien Race prince, the Your Highness Sixty-Four, caught it with just one finger!
Not to mention the younger generation present, even the older generation of powerful figures couldn't help but frown, and for the first time, they cast scrutinizing and serious glances at the Alien Race on the platform who had acted so casually.
In particular, some of the strongest members of the Ancient Alliance.
Unlike the Profound Alliance cultivators, who had little contact with Ming Shou, these Ancient Alliance experts, coming from the Ancient Realm, naturally knew the young man's strength.
The Ten Heroes of the Ancient Realm are the most talented individuals in the entire Ancient Realm. Although Ming Shou ranks last among the Ten Heroes Talents, only tenth place, he is still one of the Ten Heroes!
He is one of the ten most talented and monstrous individuals in the Ancient Realm!
But he actually...
Lost?
Although it wasn't a loss, how could it be any different from a defeat when the opponent so easily parried such a powerful first strike?
Not only the cultivators from the Profound Alliance and Ancient Alliance, but even Ming Shou himself was stunned on the spot.
His knife strike was blocked so easily?
Although this strike wasn't his full power, but merely a test, it still used about 60-70% of his strength...
Seeing the contemptuous look on the face of the Your Highness Sixty-Four, Ming Shou's heart sank. He found it hard to accept, and his expression lost its initial ease.
Surprised?
Seeing this, the Your Highness Sixty-Four suddenly smiled wickedly, turned his palm into a fist, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and ruthless. He punched the blade that was cutting in front of him!
Using flesh against iron.
Logically speaking, no matter what, it should be the flesh that gets hurt.
In Ming Shou's sword had been tempered countless times and was no longer an ordinary weapon.
But his blade failed to pierce even an inch of the Your Highness Sixty-Four's skin. Instead, the prince's punch, pressing against the blade, sent him flying!
The powerful impact from the tip of the blade was transmitted directly to Ming Shou's palm.
At that moment, Ming Shou felt the knife in his hand trembling violently. His tiger's mouth clenched, and a terrifying force came through the blade. He was completely out of control and flew backward!
"Puff--!"
Blood spurted from his mouth as Ming Shou was sent flying by the Your Highness Sixty-Four's punch, crashing onto the edge of the platform.
His features were contorted in shock as he collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest, and spat out another mouthful of blood mixed with bits of flesh.
"How can it be so strong?"
At that moment, Ming Shou, clutching his chest, even forgot the pain.
His heart was filled with shock.
Two moves...
No, if I had to say, there was only one move.
He defeated himself with just one move?
this...
This is the royal family of Alien Race!?
Ming Shou was defeated.
Clearly, they were utterly defeated without any resistance.
Moreover, even if we put it in a grand sense, the Your Highness Sixty-Four only used two moves.
Two moves... The Ancient Alliance cultivators all looked grim, unable to accept this outcome.
That was none other than Ming Shou!
It's Ming Shou of the Ming Household, one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Realm!
Not only did he lose, but his opponent defeated Ming Shou in just two moves, leaving him in such a sorry state.
A deathly silence instantly filled the Ancient Alliance cultivators.
On the platform, the Your Highness Sixty-Four shrugged his wrists dismissively, looking down at Ming Shou, who was staggering to his feet, and sneered.
"I told you long ago, you are not worthy to be my opponent."
"You can't even withstand two or three of my moves? Who gave you the audacity to stand in front of me?"
"Not everyone is qualified to be my opponent. Could it be that the Human Race named Lianxin killed my sixty-fifth brother, giving you the wrong impression that my royal family is weak?"
"You don't actually think that just Lianxin can defeat my royal family, any one of you Human Race could do it!"
Word by word, sentence by sentence.
The Your Highness Sixty-Four's eyes were indifferent, and his voice was full of sarcasm.
Even the seemingly random Human Race Ming Shou was so angry that his face turned red.
But he... had no way to refute it.
What do you want him to say?
Should he reveal himself as not just any Human Race, but a descendant of a reclusive imperial family, one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Realm, and the most powerful prodigy of the Ming Household — Ming Shou?
Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?!
The people around fell silent amidst the mocking voices of the Your Highness Sixty-Four, feeling a sense of shame and indignation as if their innermost thoughts had been exposed.
because...
His Highness the Your Highness Sixty-Four was right.
Many people, including Ming Shou, actually think so.
Sixty-five and sixty-four, differing by only one place, how big of a difference could there be?
The fact that His Lianxin the Your Highness Sixty-Five could be defeated by Lianxin of the Profound Alliance shows that the royal family among these Alien Race is nothing special.
Lianxin can do it, then the cultivators of the Ancient Alliance can certainly do it too, and they can definitely do it even better!
Many cultivators from the Ancient Alliance thought the same way.
As "saviors," they entered the Profound Domain with an arrogant and self-important attitude, looking down on the Profound Alliance cultivators who couldn't even protect their own homeland and needed their help to save it.
The Your Highness Sixty-Five of that Alien Race was defeated by the Profound Alliance, so he must be nothing special, not that strong.
These Profound Alliance cultivators were all cowardly as mice; they were even afraid of mere Alien Race to this extent.
This is truly boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own!
The reason they think the Alien Race royal family is too strong must be because those in the Profound Alliance are too weak!
If the geniuses of their Ancient Alliance were to take action, no matter what Alien Race royal family they were, not even one, let alone a whole group, would be a match for them!
This is the opinion of the vast majority of the cultivators in the Ancient Alliance.
Contempt leads to shortsightedness.
Before this, almost every cultivator in the Ancient Alliance didn't think that Lianxin, who consistently ranked first on the Earth Ranking, could be that strong.
Isn't it just good luck that he killed a member of the royal family and reaped so many military merits?
They can do it, and they can too!
They just didn't encounter royalty!
However, reality proved them wrong.
With Ming Shou, one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Realm, being defeated in two moves by the Your Highness Sixty-Four, the cultivators of the Ancient Alliance finally realized that they were wrong!
Absolutely wrong!
That's wrong, absolutely ridiculous!
How could they have thought the Alien Race was too weak before? It wasn't just not weak, it was obviously excessively strong, ridiculously strong!
Even one of their proudest Ten Heroes was defeated in two moves.
At this moment, everyone realized one thing.
Maybe...
It's time for them to reassess the strength of Lianxin, who is currently ranked number one on the Earth Ranking.
Facing such a terrifying opponent, not only did she survive, but she also turned the tables and killed the Your Highness Sixty-Five of the Alien Race royal family?
You need to understand, that wasn't just defeating, it was killing!
A kill that earned real battle merits!
Just how strong is Lianxin?
