Li Qingyang, who excelled in both offense and defense and was boosted by the Strength Enhancement Talisman—how could that Fourth-Rank Wuzong evil sect higher-up possibly win?
If his defense was also very strong, he could drag things out.
But he didn’t have the Sculpting Room or Tempering Tower to refine himself, so as long as he got pummeled, he was definitely out of luck.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Li Qingyang used the Cloud-Riding Step to circle behind that evil sect expert, thrust out both fists, and once again knocked him back five steps.
“Finish the battle quickly.” Jun Changxiao transmitted his voice.
“Yes.”
Li Qingyang received the order and pressed his advantage!
Bang bang bang!
The Mountain-Splitting Palm and Explosive Fist were deployed in turns, directly knocking that evil sect expert off the competition platform, where he conveniently fell beside Wan Xiuxian.
“…”
Everyone’s mouths twitched.
The Tiegu Sect disciples were truly fierce.
Dominating Third and Fourth-Rank Wuzongs was like child’s play to them!
“Sect Leader.”
Suddenly, a voice reached Jun Changxiao’s ear: “I’ve returned.”
Who had returned?
Ye Xingchen!
This fellow had left the mountain first to go train, and was having a grand time killing in beast-infested lands when he suddenly received a voice transmission from the Fine Rain Hall, learning that twenty evil sects were attacking the sect, so he hurried back.
Of course.
Night Emperor didn’t think he was concerned about the Tiegu Sect.
He simply believed that such a carefree, excellent cultivation place absolutely couldn’t be destroyed by others.
In short.
Given Ye Xingchen’s personality, he would die before admitting that he had already developed feelings for the Tiegu Sect.
These feelings had been established through gradual cultivation and gradual interaction with his fellow sect members. Though still very weak, they truly existed!
“You’ve arrived at just the right time.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Get on the platform for the competition shortly.”
With that, he walked onto the platform and said: “Please send someone for the fifth match.”
Elder Zhan’s gaze turned sinister as he said: “Is anyone else willing to fight?”
He had figured it out.
The Tiegu Sect’s disciples were formidably strong, which was why they dared to play ten matches.
But he refused to believe they could win all ten matches without losing even one!
“This old man will go!”
A hunchbacked elder stepped forward.
Among the twelve Wuzongs, he had the strongest power and highest cultivation, having already reached the peak Wuzong level.
The system said: “A Mid-tier peak Wuzong has power around 260,000 pounds.”
“Xingchen.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Fight.”
“Step.”
Ye Xingchen, who had just returned and was standing with his fellow sect members, strode forward. Looking at that elder who appeared to be sixty or seventy years old, his face showed disdain.
This person was almost two hundred years old and was only a peak Wuzong—his aptitude was definitely mediocre. He would have difficulty breaking through to Wuwang in this lifetime.
Martial cultivators with ordinary aptitude could reach Wuzong through post-natal effort, but this was their limit. Wanting to step into Wuwang, they had almost no hope.
Nothing is absolute.
Some people might be able to break through with the help of heavenly treasures or through some irreplicable opportunity.
But these were very few.
So at the Wuwang level, there basically weren’t tiers like Common or Mid-tier. Anyone who stepped into it had to at least start at High-tier.
Standing in the center of the life-and-death platform, Ye Xingchen said indifferently: “Trash.”
“…”
Everyone’s mouths twitched.
Daring to call a peak Wuzong trash—this fellow seemed even more arrogant than the previous two disciples.
The evil sect expert who came to fight had a cold gaze and said: “Today this old man will annihilate you and make the entire Tiegu Sect commit suicide in front of everyone!”
“Old fellow.”
Ye Xingchen said indifferently: “Stop dreaming.”
Though he said this with his mouth, secretly he crushed the Strength Enhancement Talisman.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
A powerful force permeated through his body, shocking his spirit, and he thought in alarm: “Just a talisman paper provides me with so much power—how terrifying is this!”
This was only double.
If Lord Night Emperor used five times or even ten times, he would probably be shocked enough to doubt life itself.
Honestly.
If he had eaten some kind of pill, Ye Xingchen could understand.
But crushing a yellow paper and obtaining double strength for himself absolutely overturned his understanding of martial dao!
This must come from the upper realm, a talisman blessed with some kind of dao magic!
“Begin!” Jun Changxiao said.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Xingchen, with his enhanced power, couldn’t wait to strike first!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The Explosive Fist was deployed, whipping up fierce winds!
The power of this strike directly reached 250,000 pounds!
Seeing this, the peak Wuzong’s expression immediately changed, and he instinctively chose to dodge.
If it were Li Qingyang or Xiao Zuiji, he could definitely dodge, but he was facing Ye Xingchen, a once genuine Wudi!
Dodge?
He dodged right into the fist!
Bang—
Ye Xingchen’s seemingly three-hundred-sixty-degree flawless fist struck directly on that evil sect expert’s face, not only twisting his head to the side but also sending two bloody front teeth flying out.
“Hiss!”
Everyone gasped!
This kind of fighting style where one punch struck half of someone’s face was truly too fierce!
“Thud thud thud!”
That peak Wuzong staggered backward, his left cheek red and swollen.
“Swoosh!”
Ye Xingchen appeared at his other side and raised the Mountain-Splitting Palm, chopping directly on the other half of his face.
After two moves.
That peak Wuzong’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, looking extremely pitiful.
This was just the beginning. What awaited him would be devastating abuse like a violent storm from Ye Xingchen!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the life-and-death platform, that peak Wuzong was like a spinning top, being abused until he spun around continuously.
Finally, Sect Leader Jun couldn’t watch anymore and transmitted his voice: “Don’t beat him to death, quickly knock him off the platform and end the match.”
Ye Xingchen, still unsatisfied, could only punch the peak Wuzong off the platform.
Feeling again the double power brought by the Strength Enhancement Talisman, he still couldn’t calm down and thought: “This talisman is truly too miraculous!”
…
Xiao Zuiji’s recklessness, Li Qingyang’s stability.
And from Ye Xingchen’s attacking methods just now, he could completely be called domineering.
Three disciples fighting and winning three matches made all the martial artists present deeply realize that this Tiegu Sect truly had hidden dragons and crouching tigers and should not be underestimated!
“Continue fighting!” Elder Zhan said in a deep voice.
Thus, another evil sect expert voluntarily came forward to fight.
Jun Changxiao would decide which disciple to send onto the platform based on the opponent’s strength.
In the sixth match, Su Xiaomo used her speed and double strength to kick an Eighth-Rank Mid-tier Wuzong around the entire platform.
In the seventh match was a sword cultivator. Zhou Hong fought with his sword. The two talked nonsense for a long time, then he easily finished it with the One-Character Swift Technique.
In the eighth match, Li Fei fought. His opponent’s strength was only Seventh-Rank Mid-tier Wuzong, so dominating him was easy and relaxed.
In the ninth match, Tian Qi who fought had it even easier, because his opponent was merely a Fifth-Rank Mid-tier Wuzong.
In only twenty minutes, four matches were fought.
All pure content, not watered down at all!
“Incredible!”
“The Tiegu Sect disciples are too strong!”
“Wushis beating Wuzongs like it’s play—are they even human!”
Many martial artists collapsed in disbelief.
However, what the martial cultivators of Qingyang Commandery were more worried about was:
Ten life-and-death battles, nine matches fought, nine matches won—this final battle, they absolutely couldn’t drop the ball!
On the Huayang Commandery evil sect side, they sent out their last fighter, whose strength was Third-Rank High-tier Wuzong, equal in power to Wan Xiuxian.
Jun Changxiao also sent out his last disciple.
Who?
Lu Qianqian!
“Letting a woman fight the last match?”
“This is too reckless.”
“If they lose this, the Tiegu Sect leader and disciples will all have to commit suicide!”
Seeing Lu Qianqian walk onto the life-and-death platform, the Qingyang Commandery martial artists immediately collapsed.
However, only Xie Guangkun, Ai Shangni, and the others remained completely calm.
They had seen Lu Qianqian fight at the Holy Spring Sect and deeply knew this woman was a rare ice-element martial cultivator whose strength was also very formidable, definitely not weaker than Li Qingyang, Ye Xingchen, and the others!
This was set.
With the eldest disciple fighting as the grand finale, winning all ten matches was absolutely no problem.
On Xie Guangkun and Ai Shangni’s faces, which had been tense the entire time, smiles finally appeared.
