Zheng Hou, Wang Tianfang, and the others gasped.
Xiang Qi who was ranked third on the Supreme Leaderboard was defeated by two punches and one kick. What would happen if they were fighting the duel instead?
Would they be able to resist an extra punch?
Or would they be defeated instantly by a single move?
Their eyes suddenly widened when they saw Xiang Hun going toward Xiang Qi who was covered in blood.
âXiang Hun, youâ¦â Xiang Qi said when he sensed Xiang Hun approaching.
âWhat about me? Why didnât you forfeit when you know Iâm your opponent? Are you trying to prove you are brave? Or do you think you have a chance to beat me?â Xiang Hun said coldly and kicked Xiang Qi in the chest.
Xiang Qi was not sent flying like before. Countless runes began to spread on his body. They were emitting a strange glow.
AH!
Xiang Hun did not cry out even when he was in great pain after receiving the two punches and one kick. However, he was now crying in agony with a pale face.
Qin Nan and the others also felt the power in Xiang Hunâs body being shattered into pieces.
Xiang Hun had crippled Xiang Qiâs Shidao Flesh!
âYou must pay the price if you dare to challenge me,â Xiang Hun said. He then looked at Zheng Hou, Wang Tianfang, and the rest and said, âYou have no right to take part in the duels. Just surrender. Otherwise, Iâll turn you into cripples if I am to fight you.â
Zheng Hou, Wang Tianfang, and the others wore twisted expressions.
The duels were the key to claim the possessions of two Supreme Highnesses, but Xiang Hunâs words were putting them to shame without any mercy.
They admitted that they were no match against Xiang Hun, but they were the Saints and Patriarchs of their respective factions. How could they not have any pride?
There was a reason Xiang Qi did not forfeit the duel. It was not like he was naive enough to think he could defeat the Sixth Immortal.
Xiang Hun burst out laughing, âDonât feel bad about it. Iâm merely stating the facts. People might call you a genius in the current era, but your talents are just subpar back in our days.â
âYou are far from being a qualified contestant.â
âBesidesâ¦â
âWhatâs the point of wasting your time on these duels? You might have a better chance to join hands and pick on the victor in the end.â
Zheng Hou clenched his fists. He was trembling briefly before he loosened his grip, âPatriarch Xiang is right. I forfeit.â
âMe too.â
The Saints and Patriarchs lowered their gazes.
âAre you sure? You wonât be able to regret your decision later,â Li Yangfan asked calmly.
âIâm sure!â
Zheng Hou and the others nodded before falling into silence.
âThe losers will have to leave.â
Li Yangfan waved her sleeves. A magnificent force emerged inside the palace and kicked Zheng Hou and the others out before they could react.
However, Xiang Qi who lost the duel was not forced out of the palace. He was moved to another spot before a green light encapsulated him to aid his recovery.
âQin Nan, come, there are only two of us left!â
Xiang Hun was staring down at Qin Nan from the stage.
A hint of excitement flickered deep in his eyes.
Qin Nanâs gaze sharpened too. His aura skyrocketed as he unleashed the twelve Arts of Dao Seeking in his body.
BANG!
Qin Nan made his move without uttering a single word. He slashed forward as if he had merged with the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
âQin Nan, your Arts of Dao Seeking are quite impressive, but thatâs all about them. You couldnât even make me fight with my full strength.â
Xiang Hunâs eyes flickered with disdain. Wisps of white light descended upon him as if he had returned to the world as a sacred being.
He remained still in his spot. He only reached his right hand forward before grabbing in Qin Nanâs direction.
BANG!
The slash shattered into tiny light dots.
Qin Nan did not seem surprised as if he already knew what was going to happen. He charged at Xiang Hun from another direction and slashed at him again.
The surroundings turned into a sea of scorching flames.
âThe previous attack was only a feint. The Combination of Nine Arts? Oh Qin Nan, the Dao Arts, Master Arts, and Rules Iâve seen and the fights Iâve been through are beyond your imagination!â
âNot to mention the Unbeatable Flesh I now possess!â
âDo you think your petty tricks are going to make a difference?â Xiang Hun spoke in a thunderous tone. His aura had reached an unimaginable strength.
He only took a step forward instead of using any moves.
BANG!
The palace shuddered as runes spread rapidly with him at the center. Their force shattered the Combination of Nine Arts with ease.
Li Yangfan wore a stern look.
Xiang Hunâs words might be annoying, but she could not deny that he was telling the truth.
He was like a bottomless abyss that could devour everything.
âWhat about this little trick?â
Qin Nan was soon engulfed in blood-red auras. A unique will merged with his Heaven-Shattering Saber and the will of the twelve Arts of Dao Seeking.
A great power burst out of Qin Nanâs body. The runes which Xiang Hun had summoned broke into pieces when they were three zhang away from Qin Nan, like they had stumbled into an invisible barrier.
Whoosh!
Qin Nan slashed at Xiang Hun again!
The palace was overwhelmed by its force!
âThe power of the bloodlines of the Heaven Highness Clans? Did you refine them with the Ownerless Heaven Pattern?â Xiang Hun was startled, but he soon burst out laughing, âI didnât expect you to achieve such a feat with the Ownerless Heaven Pattern! Unfortunately, itâs still too weak to pose a threat to me!â
Xiang Hun began to make his move. He threw his fist forward. The palace was soon drowned in a series of explosions.
Qin Nanâs slash immediately bent out of shape with cracks on it. The destructive force which Xiang Hun exerted forcibly shattered the slash into pieces.
âQin Nan, thatâs enough struggle. I know every move you have! Iâve given you the chance, but you didnât treat it preciously. Youâre going to die today!â Xiang Hun unleashed a strong tide as he attacked Qin Nan.
Li Yangfan frowned.
âI wonder if you know about this trump card that I have.â
Qin Nanâs eyes reddened as an ancient demonic will woke up in his body.
