This battle between Xiao Zuiji and Zhao Dazhuang, without any fancy flourishes whatsoever, was truly blood-pumping and passionate!

Especially for the on-site audience, they were deeply infected by that fist-to-flesh combat, and a sense of pride arose in their hearts—’I’m proud to be a man!’

This was combat.

This was the most manly combat!

Those little fangirls who had originally been focused on Ye Xingchen, seeing Xiao Zuiji fighting seriously with all his muscles on display, instantly showed infatuated expressions.

No loyalty at all!

“Boom!”

Just then, an explosive sound came from the arena platform, and rolling qi waves roared forth.

“Step!”

“Step!”

Xiao Zuiji and Zhao Dazhuang both steadied themselves, the floor beneath their feet shattering as visible spiritual energy ripples spread outward.

In the area where the two had exchanged blows, space had completely twisted.

“Hey.”

Ye Xingchen transmitted impatiently, “Hurry up and finish this, don’t waste time.”

He knew Xiao Zuiji had fallen into a state of only knowing battle, so he had to remind him this was a match that required determining victory or defeat.

Night Emperor.

How thoughtful.

After receiving the reminder, Xiao Zuiji gradually calmed down from his frenzied combat state.

Though this opponent was excellent, he still bore the fate of his sect’s advancement and must win as quickly as possible!

“Whoosh—”

Xiao Zuiji’s burning gaze became sharp, clearly entering a state focused on victory rather than just having a satisfying fight.

“Crack!”

His right foot suddenly stepped forward, the original spot instantly caving in and spreading outward.

From the formation light screen, one could clearly see stone slabs within several meters all collapsing, as if something heavy had viciously smashed down!

“Excellent!” City Lord Han praised.

Taking a step that pressed down the stone slabs with profound strength—without day after day of physical refinement, this would be absolutely impossible.

At such a young age, developing the body to this degree, when breaking through to higher realms in the future, he would definitely be indestructible.

Jun Changxiao said, “Actually, all my disciples are excellent.”

“I can see that,” City Lord Han said.

Though Eternal Sect’s other disciples didn’t appear as profound as Xiao Zuiji, from the previous matches one could also tell they all had excellent physical foundations.

“If I’m not mistaken.”

City Lord Han smiled, “Sect Master Jun must have some exclusive technique for cultivating the physical body?”

Jun Changxiao said, “My sect’s heritage comes from ancient times, so naturally we also have body-building methods from ancient times.”

“Will you die if you don’t brag?” the System said.

“Damn! I don’t want to either, but if I don’t use this lie, how else can I explain why the disciples are so strong!” Jun Changxiao said.

“…” The System said, “True.”

“I’ve long heard that Eternal Sect’s heritage comes from ancient times, but Han is somewhat ignorant and hasn’t found any records of your esteemed sect in historical books,” City Lord Han smiled.

Was he probing his background, or still not believing the sect came from ancient times?

“City Lord Han.”

Jun Changxiao lowered his voice, “To be frank, my Eternal Sect was once a shadow sect force.”

“Shadow sect?”

City Lord Han said, “That would explain it.”

Jun Changxiao could still capture a trace of doubt in his eyes, so he changed the topic, “City Lord Han, any interest in having your children join my Eternal Sect?”

“This…”

City Lord Han quickly looked toward the arena platform, “Spectacular, well fought!”

“Could this guy be an overage bachelor?” Jun Changxiao muttered to himself, “No sons or daughters?”

Guessed correctly!

City Lord Han had no children, let alone a wife—he’d been single for nearly a thousand years.

No wonder every time Sect Master Jun mentioned having children join the sect, he’d hurriedly change the topic, because at this moment he was—youth doesn’t know sorrow’s taste, only in old age does one know the difficult road.

…

“Crimson Sky Blazing Slash!”

Suddenly, Xiao Zuiji’s most masculine roar came from the arena platform. A massive flaming slash instantly condensed in midair.

Finally using techniques.

Finally getting serious!

“Crack crack crack—”

Xiao Zuiji, who cultivated the Five Elements Heaven-Viewing Manual, had already comprehended the fire element. Executing this Divine-rank middle-tier martial technique in his strongest state, the scorching power it unleashed seemed to tear space apart like a giant hand!

“Very strong!” City Lord Han’s expression grew solemn.

He was referring to the technique’s strength.

“Step!”

Zhao Dazhuang took a step forward, the stone slab beneath his feet shattering, his eyes flashing with fervor as he spread both arms!

Hum!

His entire skin rapidly turned golden, like the bronze men of Shaolin Temple!

“Diamond Indestructible Body!”

Everyone cried out in shock.

“This…” The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched, “Isn’t this just like when I crushed that Durability Talisman back then?”

“Whoosh—”

On the arena platform, the condensed Crimson Sky Blazing Slash tore through space and viciously struck down. The fully golden Zhao Dazhuang glared with wide eyes and roared, “Vajra Glaring Fist!”

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

Zhao Dazhuang’s entire body was enveloped in golden light, coalescing into a Buddhist vajra warrior, and in that void space, a golden giant fist tore through space and viciously pressed down toward the flaming slash!

“Boom—”

A deafening roar transmitted through the venue!

Crack crack crack!

The arena platform’s space rapidly fractured under the tearing force!

The destruction brought by the collision of the golden giant fist and Crimson Sky Blazing Slash made all spectators hold their breath!

This level of confrontation absolutely shouldn’t belong to low-level Martial Kings!

The two extremely strong techniques couldn’t overcome each other, bursting with final brilliance in midair before disappearing.

Thump thump thump!

Zhao Dazhuang explosively retreated backward, the coalesced Buddhist vajra warrior suddenly collapsing.

Though Xiao Zuiji also retreated, he only stepped back a few paces before charging forward like an arrow leaving the bow.

“Whoosh—”

Scorching flames instantly rose, condensing another slash in midair!

“Again?”

City Lord Han was extremely surprised.

This type of fire-element martial technique was exceptionally powerful and should consume a great deal of spiritual energy!

“Crimson Sky Blazing Slash!”

Xiao Zuiji shouted loudly, and the flaming slash gathering in the sky viciously struck down again. The entire venue could feel that extremely violent scorching heat.

Zhao Dazhuang’s gaze showed gravity. He immediately pressed his palms together, and golden light instantly formed a defensive barrier before him!

“Boom!”

The Crimson Sky Blazing Slash viciously struck it. Though it didn’t shatter the barrier, fine cracks appeared.

“Step!”

Xiao Zuiji had already rushed forward, both hands suddenly pulling back as he roared, “Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Fist!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense fist imprints erupted outward, just like that man determined to become Pirate King executing his rubber gatling gun!

Boom boom boom!

Whoosh whoosh—

Explosive power rampaged madly, stone slabs crumbling into powder, instantly filling the entire arena platform. Warriors from various provinces couldn’t see the intense battle inside through the light screen!

The on-site audience was dumbfounded.

Though many could capture the combat scenes inside using their spiritual sense, Xiao Zuiji’s punching speed was too fast—they simply couldn’t determine exactly how many times he’d struck!

Gradually.

The dust filling the sky was carried away by strong winds.

Everything became crystal clear—two infinitely extending deep grooves appeared on the arena!

“This…”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Because within their field of vision, Zhao Dazhuang’s golden barrier existed before him. Though it was densely cracked, it ultimately hadn’t shattered.

However… his person had already retreated from the arena platform to the outside!

“Huff huff!”

Standing at the arena’s edge, Xiao Zuiji half-crouched with both hands hanging down, breathing heavily and rapidly.

At this moment.

If he wore a straw hat on his back, he’d be a dead ringer for that someone after bursting into nth gear.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, the golden barrier before Zhao Dazhuang shattered. He similarly bent at the waist, breathing heavily, his eyes showing both excitement and bitterness.

“Iron Fist Sect eliminated, victor Eternal Sect!”

After a long while, the referee’s loud and resonant voice rang throughout the venue.

“Thump!”

Xiao Zuiji sat down hard on his rear, smiling at Zhao Dazhuang, “If… if there’s… a chance, let’s have… another good fight!”
