Perhaps because the duel between a fifth-rate and first-rate sect was very topical, the organizers had Eternal Sect and Great Yan Sacred Sect engage in the Dragon-Tiger Tournament’s first round, first battle!
Indeed.
Very topical!
Because when Ye Xingchen eliminated a Great Yan Sacred Sect disciple with the cleanest and most efficient method, the entire continent erupted into a boil!
A Martial King-level disciple from a first-rate sect being eliminated right at the start of the match—this was simply unimaginable!
“How is this possible…”
The eyes of the major sect leaders showed astonishment.
Although the disciples Great Yan Sacred Sect sent weren’t top-tier, they were still genuine Martial Kings. To be defeated so quickly meant the Eternal Sect disciples’ strength must be incredibly powerful!
“He’s Ye Xingchen!”
“That guy who killed his way from unlisted into the Elite Assembly Rankings’ Earth tier in the shortest time?”
“It’s him!”
“No wonder he’s so powerful!”
When various martial artists recognized Ye Xingchen, the shock in their hearts actually diminished considerably.
Killing his way to first place in the Human tier rankings in such a short time, then killing his way into the Earth tier rankings—this Eternal Sect disciple absolutely had real strength!
“Crack!”
In a corner of a certain city, a black-robed man saw Ye Xingchen defeat his opponent on the light screen and said resentfully, “This guy has gotten stronger again!”
“However.”
He smiled coldly, “During this time, I’ve also undergone earth-shattering changes!”
Ye Xingchen!
Eternal Sect!
Sooner or later, your grandfather here will step on you and thoroughly trample you!
…
“Alas.”
On the observation platform, Jun Changxiao shook his head. “No challenge at all.”
Although the disciples Great Yan Sacred Sect sent were all Martial Kings, their overall strength wasn’t worthy of carrying his disciples’ shoes.
That’s how confident he was, that’s how arrogant!
However, sitting beside him, Duan Zishou’s expression changed again and again.
He had originally thought that after the match began, the Eternal Sect disciples would be destroyed to the point of doubting life. The result was that Great Yan Sacred Sect had someone eliminated right from the start.
It’s fine, it’s fine.
This had just begun—there were still twenty-four disciples!
Once they fought seriously, Eternal Sect’s fate would definitely still be…
“Boom!”
The dueling platform transmitted another explosive sound, interrupting Duan Zishou’s thoughts.
He hurriedly raised his eyes to look, and saw a Great Yan Sacred Sect disciple directly pummeled out by Xiao Zuiji!
“Another one eliminated!”
“My god, that was way too fast!”
The audience was dumbfounded.
The first Great Yan Sect disciple being eliminated could be attributed to carelessness, but the second disciple being eliminated clearly showed they were unable to match up in strength!
Most tragic of all.
Throughout the entire exchange, he was always on the defensive, unable to mount any effective counterattack before being blasted out.
“Interesting, interesting.”
Zhao Dazhuang had been watching Xiao Zuiji the whole time.
Witnessing him use his most thoroughly trained physique to send his opponent flying, intense fighting spirit immediately rose in his eyes.
“Swish!”
Xiao Zuiji withdrew his hand and also looked toward him.
Though they were separated by a great distance, their eye contact seemed to spark passionate flames!
Qingyang Commandery.
When Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji, this pair of good fellow disciples, successively defeated Great Yan Sacred Sect disciples, the place had completely fallen into absolute madness.
Some emotional people even tore off their shirts and shouted loudly.
In previous Dragon-Tiger Tournaments, whether single combat or group combat, disciples representing Southwest Yang Province in battle always lost, lost, lost!
Now, in the opening battle, Eternal Sect had already eliminated two participants in the mass brawl, and they were disciples of the first-rate Great Yan Sacred Sect no less—this undoubtedly created a record and broke the embarrassment!
“Hall Master!”
Elder Zhou said excitedly, “Eternal Sect eliminated another one!”
Yi Tianxing, standing in front, said nothing, but his body was trembling violently. At this moment, he was so excited he couldn’t control himself.
Boom!
Boom!
In the array projection, Eternal Sect disciples had already begun fighting with Great Yan Sacred Sect disciples.
Radiance flashed, spiritual energy dispersed!
The audience’s eyes grew wider and wider as they watched.
In their imagination, when a fifth-rate sect battled a first-rate sect, they would definitely be abused to the point of having no will to live.
But reality gave them a hard slap in the face.
Not only were the disciples of this fifth-rate sect not being abused when fighting disciples of a first-rate sect, they quickly gained the upper hand!
“Huff huff—”
Long Ziyang strode forward with great steps, executing Mountain-Shattering Earth-Breaking Fist!
Tian Qi, Song Xuanzhou, and the others were also freely releasing spiritual energy, freely releasing sect martial techniques.
They didn’t care that their opponents were from a first-rate sect. They only cared that at this moment, they could have a satisfying fight!
“Eternal Shadowless Kick!”
“Mountain-Shattering Earth-Breaking Fist!”
“Scarlet Heaven Blazing Slash!”
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Eternal Sect disciples’ martial techniques were all released together, erupting in brilliant, gorgeous radiance!
Because they rarely encountered opponents with decent strength, they didn’t directly defeat their opponents like Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji, but instead kept suppressing them, allowing themselves to fight longer!
“Damn it!”
A Great Yan Sacred Sect disciple shouted, “Form the array!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Everyone quickly drew together while maintaining a certain distance.
Viewing from above, one could see they had already set up a strange formation.
“Great Yan Spirit Phantom Formation!”
“This is a high-level combination martial technique. I didn’t expect them to display it right at the start of the duel!”
“The Eternal Sect disciples’ strength is also not weak. If they don’t get serious, it’ll definitely be very difficult to turn the tide!”
As everyone discussed, twenty-something Great Yan Sacred Sect disciples all unleashed their cultivation simultaneously, then quickly achieved synchronization. In an instant, the entire dueling platform was covered by vast spiritual energy.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
Suddenly, the spiritual energy gathered together, then manifested into an enormous dharma form, with six thick, long arms rotating out from its body!
“It’s appeared—the Spirit Phantom Venerable!”
“The dharma form condensed by so many Great Yan Sacred Sect disciples probably has strength not inferior to a peak Martial King, right?”
“This is the foundation of a first-rate sect!”
…
Looking at the enormous dharma form that had gathered, Jun Changxiao said with interest, “Now it’s getting a bit interesting.”
“A bit interesting?”
Duan Zishou said coldly, “Sect Master Jun probably doesn’t know that when this type of combination martial technique is executed, the power it erupts with is extremely terrifying.”
“I can see that.” Jun Changxiao said.
The condensed dharma form, judging from its aura, probably wasn’t inferior to a peak Martial King.
However.
So what?
This Seat’s disciples all trained using spirit beasts comparable to Martial Emperors in the Life-Death Secret Realm. A mere peak Martial King really isn’t worth looking at!
“Whoosh whoosh—”
The Spirit Phantom Venerable suddenly swung two large hands, fiercely smashing down toward the Eternal Sect disciples. The force carried instantly stirred the space, causing it to gradually distort!
As the large hands pressed down, the sky darkened.
The Eternal Sect disciples gathered together remained unmoved, even showing disdain at the corners of their mouths.
“Why aren’t they dodging!”
“Step!”
Xiao Zuiji took one step forward, standing behind his fellow disciples, his arms suddenly spreading wide as thick earth-element spiritual energy gathered between his palms!
From the light screen’s perspective, this man seemed like an indestructible wall!
“Whoosh whoosh—”
The Spirit Phantom Venerable’s two large hands thunderously pressed down.
Xiao Zuiji’s upper garment burst apart, earth-element spiritual energy erupting from every inch of his solid muscles, then transforming into two large hands that directly grasped the descending hands.
Why didn’t his pants break? Go ask Kakarot.
“Crack crack crack!”
After catching the two heavy hands, the floor beneath Xiao Zuiji’s feet instantly shattered!
The audience’s mouths all dropped open!
“Rise!”
Just then, Xiao Zuiji’s veins bulged as his arms suddenly exerted force!
“Whoosh whoosh—”
The Spirit Phantom Venerable was directly lifted up. The twenty-three Great Yan Sacred Sect disciples responsible for sustaining it involuntarily stepped forward, shock immediately rising in their eyes!
The dharma form we condensed with so many people was actually pulled away by him alone!
How powerful must his physical body be!
“Ah!”
Xiao Zuiji, his upper body exposed, roared furiously. His arm strength erupted madly, and the Spirit Phantom Venerable was directly yanked up, then traced a beautiful arc, violently upended onto the other end of the dueling platform.
