Jing Qiu was drowning in despair. Yet, hearing what Xue Ying said, she was surprised.

Before this, Xue Ying had been hiding his breath. The many years of effort put into understanding the laws of nature had already allowed him to change complexity into simplicity. Thus, nobody had given a second thought to this ordinary black-haired young man. At this moment, however, with everyone being in a life or death situation, he did not hold back his power any longer. Xue Ying’s entire demeanor became many times more frightening than before, as sharp as a blade and ready to unleash his power unto the enemy at a moment’s notice.

This normally hidden sharpness automatically made others feel jittery when released.

“This Xue Ying actually dared to say such words. Unless… has he fought against a Legend ranker before?” Jing Qiu could not believe this. “I’ve heard that he is only 22 years old, even younger than me by 3 years! How could he possibly have fought against a Legend ranker? Furthermore, this Xue Ying doesn’t give off the feeling that he would have enough power to shake heaven and earth.”

The atmosphere within the Great Hall changed instantly.

The unseen force was still being pressed onto the group of experts, proving the monster-looking man’s understanding of the laws of nature. From what Jing Qiu could see, if Xue Ying was also a Legend ranked Knight, then he ought to have the capability to overcome this unseen force and fight back against that monster-looking man.

“This Xue Ying must have gone crazy.” Bai Rong was completely submerged in a sea of despair when he looked towards Xue Ying and saw an unbelievable. “He even dares to challenge a Legend ranker. Could he be one himself? Nah… I think he is just trying to comfort his ego before he dies. But this would make his death even more miserable…”

…

The monster-looking man observed Xue Ying’s actions, laughing out loud, “So interesting… This brat actually wants to die this badly—”

“Stop uttering nonsense!” Xue Ying was blazing with energy. “Come! Let’s see how strong you are. If you are weaker than me, then just die!”

“A person more arrogant than me?”

The monster-looking man gave a cold look at him.

Hong~~~

The unseen force immediately pressed down on Xue Ying just as it had pressed down on Tang Xiong moments ago.

“Just this minuscule amount of force?” Xue Ying chuckled. Ultimately, there was a limit to utilising the forces of nature in suppressing the opponent. A Meteor Knight would find this amount unbearable. Using it against a Silver Moon Knight, his strength would decrease tremendously. When using it against a peak Legend ranker like Xue Ying, the effects of suppressing would be dramatically reduced. By now, it was merely a five thousand or so newtons of force.

One standing beneath the throne, the other sitting on top of it. The collision between their intents was vicious.

“Let me see just how long you can last.” That monster-looking man took out a black-coloured curved dart. This was actually his primary weapon used in battle! Before, he had used a mere metal piece from before to deal with Tang Xiong only because there was such the large difference in strength and there had been no need to bring out his primary weapon.

“Hu.”

He swung his arm, fiercely throwing out the curved dart towards Xue Ying.

Xiu Xiu Xiu!!!

Within his hands, many more curved darts appeared, and he instantly threw them towards his target.

The curved darts were extremely fast in speed, breaking through the sound barrier. Furthermore, given their curved shape, it was hard to identify which direction the darts were coming from once they had been launched.

“Flying darts? You should also taste a few of my moves!” Xue Ying was filled with aggressiveness. This was his first time fighting against a Legend ranker. Taking out a short spear with his right hand, he threw it explosively towards the monster-looking man.

Hong!

The the short spear was quite heavy. Feeling the way it tore through the air, the monster-looking man could sense the terror of the powerful spear. He turned pale instantly. The spear flying towards him was so fast that he could not take out his other weapon in time to block it. With a turn of his body, he dodged it.

“Peng!” The short spear hit the throne directly, causing the metal-cast throne to break apart immediately. Without stopping, the spear continued to penetrate the wall behind the throne.

Similarly, Xue Ying was dodging those weirdly-shaped curved darts. Occasionally, he would be unable to dodge, so he would block the darts with his Flying Snow God Spear. In the end, defending against these darts was too easy with him being a Great Spear Master.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Xue Ying took out even more short spears with his right hand. After all, within his own storage treasure there were numerous amounts of spears waiting to be used! One by one, he threw them full-force towards the monster-looking man. The spears tore through the air with such a force that even the suppression force based on the man’s understanding of the laws of nature were completely useless.

One short spear flew past the side of the monster-looking man. Hong! It penetrated into the walls.

Similarly, Xue Ying was dodging those strange black-coloured curved darts, leaving them to be entrenched into the walls around him.

“This… This…:” Bai Rong was shocked.

“Are you a Legend ranker?”Jing Qiu, too, felt the oppressiveness of Xue Ying’s performance.

Currently, these two big powers were merely throwing out their hidden weapons, but everyone could feel the frighteningly oppressive atmosphere they created. The monster-looking man’s evasive manoeuvres were so fast that he became a blur, making it difficult for one to see him clearly.

As for Xue Ying, although his range of movement was small, he also became a blurred image.

These were simply just dodging motions, and yet they could not see them clearly any longer!
