King Geng was surprised, he looked at Zhong Yue and whispered, “They are deliberately doing this to me, do you really want to step in? Wu Yangsheng is not that much inferior to me, and he knows that my biggest strength lies in the ability to perceive the opponent’s power and counter accordingly. Thus, he used two different forces to make it impossible for me to respond. A small character like him will never be able to know the secrets of my strength and now that he clearly knows of it, there is only one explanation—the Realm Monarch.”

King Geng made it clear that if Zhong Yue stepped in and intervened, he would eventually offend the Realm Monarch.

Although King Geng was a conceited man, his mind was indeed sharp. Even though Zhong Yue had taken advantage of him, he didn’t drag Zhong Yue into his personal affairs.

The challenge came as soon as he arrived, indicating that Wu Yangsheng was fully prepared to embarrass him!

And from the Heaven Realm Realm Lord’s tone, it was obvious that Wu Yangsheng’s action was a direct order from the Heaven Realm Realm Lord himself.

The Heaven Realm Lord was the Realm Monarch’s confidant while King Geng was the Realm Monarch’s greatest competition for the throne. So of course the Heaven Realm Realm Lord wouldn’t let him go easily!

Zhong Yue laughed and said, “With my background and the presence standing behind me, do you think I am afraid of the Realm Monarch? This time, it is not for you, but for the Prison Realm’s reputation as a whole. Little brother, rest assured, just sit back and enjoy the show.”

King Geng gritted his teeth against Zhong Yue’s bravado, and his urge to beat Zhong Yue to the quickly eclipsed his desire to kill Wu Yangsheng. If given the chance, King Geng would surely beat Zhong Yue until Zhong Yue conceded to being the younger brother!

However, Zhong Yue wasn’t wrong, he didn’t fear the Realm Monarch. As long as Goddess Shen Hou was backing him, who would dare to take a single hair away from him?

“Wu Yangsheng is very strong. He’s cultivated 2 different Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation. Are you sure?”

King Geng whispered, “He is very strong, and is suspected to be an innate spirit body that is equivalent to your fit with Yu Bochuan. An existence like this requires our full focus and strength, a single moment of carelessness can lead to our defeat.”

Zhong Yue walked forward and smiled, “Rest assured, I’ve got everything covered.”

King Geng was infuriated, “Don’t blame me if you are killed!”

The Qi Practitioners under Realm Lord Hua were all laughing. When they saw Zhong Yue walking out of the crowd, they laughed boisterously.

“A human! Oh my heavens, Is that a human I am looking at?!” One of the Qi Practitioners laughed while rolling to the ground, “The great King Geng actually acknowledged a human brat as his elder brother! Moreover, a human from the Prison Realm. What a laugh, this must be the biggest joke of this whole world!”

The other Qi Practitioners couldn’t help but laugh as well. The said, “Just what is the human race? The most inferior breed among the millions of races. Did all those reincarnations leave a few screws loose in King Geng head? He actually calls a human his big brother!”

“Even the insect race has a higher status than the human race!”

“The Prison Realm is really incompetent. A human actually made it into their top ten. It seems like their other Qi Practitioners are also incompetent as well. We don’t have to worry about them at all.”

“I heard that the Earth Realm has many great talents. It seems like only the Earth Realm is qualified to compete with us from the Heaven Realm.”

…

Zhong Yue turned a deaf ear to the ridicules and mockery, he smiled and said, “Since the Realm Lord Hua said to play a little, then let’s have some fun. Wu Yangsheng, you sneaked an attack on my second brother and made him lose face, Then now, I wonder if you dare to accept my challenge?”

Wu Yangsheng snorted, whispered softly, “Are you seeking death?”

With a change of thought, godly rays surged out into his hands and condensed into a saber sheath and divine saber. He said, “You don’t dare?”

Wu Yangsheng laughed and placed his hands on his back, he said arrogantly, “I sneak attacked King Geng? Even if I didn’t sneak attack him, he still isn’t a match for me anyway! Prison Realm is just a small town filled with vagabonds and useless gangsters. What kind of talents do you think you are? But since you’ve challenged me, I won’t take any advantage of you. One bout, if you can withstand one strike and still survive, then I will concede defeat! Do you dare to accept?”

King Geng frowned slightly, he whispered sternly, “Don’t accept!”

Jun Wudao couldn’t help but shout from the back, “You mustn’t accept! Make it three bouts!”

Bi and An also transmitted their voices to Zhong Yue, “One bout is a deadly trap. If you accept it, you will fall just right in his trap.”

“He said one bout only, and if you believe it, you will think of defending through that one strike so to win. But this is precisely his strategy. Offence is always the best defense. If you are forced into a defensive position, then you will lose because that opens up a chance for him to attack with all his strength!”

Zhong Yue answered, “Don’t worry, I am the expert in this field. He is still too naive to play this kind of trickery in front of me.”

“One bout it is,” Zhong Yue then turned over to Wu Yangsheng and agreed.

Wu Yangsheng smiled and said loudly, “Realm Lord Fa, can I play around a little with the senior martial brother from the human race?”

Prison Realm Realm Lord hesitated, Zhong Yue killed his son, but he had Goddess Shen Hou as his backer. The presence backing him was far too terrible to stand against and if Zhong Yue suffered even a minor wound, Fa Zhaozhen was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to withstand the innate god’s wrath. Although he wanted to see Zhong Yue die, he still hoped that Zhong Yue could win and regain some of the face that the the Prison Realm had just lost.

After all, he was the Prison Realm Lord, and if the Prison Realm’s Qi Practitioners were humiliated, it was a slight on his name as well.

King Geng had already lost a round, and although he was caught unprepared, a lost was a lost… If Zhong Yue was defeated and killed, then he as the Prison Realm Lord would suffer even an greater impact to his reputation.

Suddenly, the Heaven Realm Realm Lord smiled and said, “Realm Lord Fa, we are all already old now, we aren’t as high spirited as the younger generations, so why not take a look? Or is it that your Qi Practitioners can’t even take a single bout?”

As he spoke, Prison Realm Realm Lord snorted frigidly and thought, He is forcing me to nod and agree! If I doesn’t agree, I will be humiliated even more!

He thought about this and nodded, he conducted his voice to Zhong Yue and said, “Be careful.”

Zhong Yue was surprised, and a dubious expression spread across his face. The Prison Realm Lord actually told him to be cautious!

Little did he know that the reason that the Prison Realm Lord told him to be careful was not because he cared about him, but because he was afraid that Zhong Yue would suffer an injury or even die, making him the target of Goddess Shen Hou’s ire.

“Since the two Realm Lords have given their permissions, then I will proceed!”

Wu Yangsheng gave a stern yell,, his eyes shone brightly, and the Six Paths Wheel emerged behind his head with the Pan Gu Celestial Being sitting in the center. A huge sun flew out and floated behind him. It turned out that he was also an Innate Sun Spirit Body!

His aura was more fierce than before, and the fire burnt the sky as though the sky was melting!

He did not show the vision of the Innate Sun Spirit Body just now, but he had now as he was determined to kill Zhong Yue in a single strike.

His aura continued to mount, becoming ever more overbearing like a Heavenly Deity. The two complete Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation surrounded him like a dragon and a phoenix, boosting his arrogance even further!

Everyone’s expressions turned solemn. Wu Yangsheng’s strength was indeed extraordinary. Although he had the element of surprise when he faced against King Geng, his strength was still absolutely equivalent to the top three of the Prison Realm!

“Strong, very strong. Are the Heaven Realm’s Qi Practitioners all so terribly strong?” Li Tianxing whispered.

When compared to Wu Yangsheng’s increasingly terrifying aura, Zhong Yue’s was much calmer. He held the saber sheath in one hand and the saber hilt in the other hand, ready to unsheath the divine saber at any second.

Countless totem patterns surged out of his body, turning into Yin and Yang lines that continually underwent infinite transformations in the air as he began his calculations.

Suddenly. Wu Yangsheng took a step forward and launched commenced his attack.

As Wu Yangsheng took the step, the symbols around Zhong Yue changed more intensely. His right hand slowly pulled the saber out by an inch, and boundless godly rays shone out from the saber body, dazzling the eyes of the crowd.

Wu Yangsheng slightly frowned, he didn’t take the second step immediately but changed his hand signs. The skill in his hands immediately dissipated and was changed into another skill before he took the second step.

Shush—

As he made the step, the totem symbols around Zhong Yue changed again, and the divine saber was unsheathed by another inch.

Cold sweat emerged on Wu Yangsheng’s forehead. He took the third step while changing to another skill of greater power. But before the skill had been fully brewed and readied, Zhong Yue’s Yin lines, Yang lines and symbols along again immediately. The divine saber was pulled out another inch with the godly rays brimming brighter than ever.

Wu Yangsheng took the fourth step and changed to the fourth skill while Zhong Yue’s divine saber was also pulled out by another four inches.

Immediately, old sweat burst out on Wu Yangsheng’s forehead.

A strange scene was now taking place. Wu Yangsheng was taking step after step toward Zhong Yue, and Zhong Yue was standing still on the same spot. The distance between the two was constantly closing, and with each step Wu Yangsheng took, he would have to change to a new skill. One step after another, he had now used more than a dozen different skills, each of which was extremely awe-inspiring.

However, these skills turned out to be half-handed. Just after they were cast and before their power was released, he had already began launching a new kind of skill.

At the same time, although Zhong Yue on the other side of was standing still, the divine saber in his hand only continued to be pulled out inch by inch, effusing increasingly dazzling godly rays. It was as if there were a bright sun hiding within the saber sheath. .

As Wu Yangsheng’s moved forward, the Yin lines, Yang lines and symbols around Zhong Yue were also constantly changing.

As of now, the Qi Practitioners and the experts had now understood the situation as they praised in their hearts. Although Zhong Yue did not move nor fully unsheathe the saber, the contest between the two had already began when Wu Yangsheng took the first step. .

The moment Wu Yangsheng made the first move, Zhong Yue’s deductive ability had already fully deciphered and countered it before it could even be cast out.

Then, Wu Yangsheng took the second step and changed to a second skill, which was then countered by Zhong Yue again, then the third step, the fourth step…

The skills he changed were all countered by Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue knew all of the skills’ weaknesses and if Wu Yangsheng pushed forward with the same skills, he would die!

But he couldn’t retreat either or he would meet the same ending as King Geng when he sneak attacked him. Furthermore, Zhong Yue’s aura had been brewing for a long time, when the saber was completely pulled out, it would be extremely deadly. Just like the power of a great volcano that had been brewing for thousands of years, it would be calm just seconds before it unleashed the power that could shock the world!

Sweat contiued to percolate on Wu Yangsheng’s forehead, but he had no choice but to keep moving forward.

Under Zhong Yue’s saber will, he was forced to constantly alter his techniques until he was forced to resort to the strongest and most profound skills he had in his arsenal. But no matter what he did, those skills would be deciphered and countered by Zhong Yue in a matter of seconds.

Thus, left with no choice, he was forced to squeeze his own knowledge, intelligence, and talent, to create new skills on the spot.

But as these skills were newly created, they naturally had more flaws and were even easier to decipher.

The distance between the two people eventually closed to only twenty feet. Realm Lord Hua frowned slightly, he coughed and just as he was about to speak, Zhong Yue abruptly pulled out the saber. Like a flash of lightning, it slashed down and Wu Yangsheng’s head fell to the ground shortly thereafter.

Zhong Yue then resheathed the saber and turned around to the Prison Realm Lord, faintly saying, “Just a little child that came here to die.”
