Chapter 192 (2/2)

Xiang Shaoyun did not even bother dodging the attack. Purple and gold aura surged out of his body to form an impenetrable energy barrier as he stood there and allowed the attack to land.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, thinking that Xiang Shaoyun had been too careless and was going to get himself killed. Even Gong Qinyin tightened her grip on her weapon anxiously. But the Gong Clan people around her were stopping her from charging forward rashly.

Bang!

Ji Jiuhan's silver spear struck Xiang Shaoyun's barrier, immediately creating a loud explosion that rippled everywhere. The attack failed to penetrate Xiang Shaoyun's barrier, as the spearhead couldn't budge after entering about one third of the barrier.

”Impossible! Die already!” Ji Jiuhan could not accept it at all. He roared and poured all his strength into the silver spear and continued trying to push the spear through the barrier. The silver radiance around the spear peaked, and the frost aura intensified.

Finally, a crack appeared in the barrier. Right this instant, Xiang Shaoyun leaned to the side, causing Ji Jiuhan to shoot forward uncontrollably. It was at that moment that Xiang Shaoyun made his move.

Cloud Splitting Palm!

It was a regular tier-1 battle technique, yet it was the most effective battle technique in such a situation.

Bang!

Ji Jiuhan was unable to pull back in time. In any case, he did not even realize that Xiang Shaoyun was attacking. The only thing he felt was a palm landing on his back. Instantly, his energy barrier shattered, and he was sent flying and coughing blood.

Finally, he crashed heavily onto the ground not far away. Only one move and he had been defeated.

Xiang Shaoyun gazed at Chen Zilong and asked in a carefree manner, ”So can we enter now?”

Chen Zilong was pulled back from his shock, and he laughed, ”Haha. To first bait the enemy, s.h.i.+fting the truth and the fake, before finally counterattacking and obtaining victory. What a splendid move. The entire sequence looks simple, but it is extremely clever. You are indeed an opponent worthy of respect. You may all enter.”

Chen Zilong had a decent personality. Although his man had suffered defeat, he did not fly into rage out of humiliation. Instead, he magnanimously praised Xiang Shaoyun, showing the grace of an expert. Xiang Shaoyun cupped his fists and saluted Chen Zilong before riding his red wolf away with Gong Qinyin, Mo Mo, and the others without saying anything.

After Xiang Shaoyun left, Ji Jiuhan crawled back on his feet and said with a rueful expression, ”Boss, sorry. I have embarra.s.sed you.”

”Yes, that was quite embarra.s.sing. But it was not like you didn't have that coming. He was able to kill even Ye Xuan. Do you think he's not your match?” Chen Zilong said. He then muttered to himself, ”Life will only be interesting with an opponent like this. Otherwise, it will feel very lonely.”

”Zilong, are you really going to fight him with the same cultivation level?” Li Yaxuan asked.

”Sister Xuan, you think I will lose?” Chen Zilong asked.

”That is possible. I have a feeling that he is not as simple as he looks,” Li Yaxuan said with the expression of a wise and farsighted person.

”Why so? Do you mean he is actually hiding his strength? Or he has some forbidden technique capable of increasing his combat prowess?” Chen Zilong asked.

”No, his combat prowess is very stable. It is definitely not something he got from a forbidden technique. Moreover, I have witnessed him fight two times. He is indeed only a second-stage Transformation Realm cultivator. But his cultivation base is incredibly thick, and his true combat prowess is no weaker than any of you. Therefore, he is definitely someone with terrifying talent. Also, I suspect the face we are seeing is not his true face,” Li Yaxuan voiced her suspicions.
