Alright, next up is men’s free fighting. The red corner fighter is Qin Mu, and the blue corner fighter is Wan Xiangtian. Their strength differs: Foundation Establishment Stage versus Golden Core Realm. Who will win this battle? Let’s wait and see!
Faced with Wan Xiangtian’s provocation, Qin Mu agreed without hesitation.
‘Just a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator, and his True Qi seems unstable, likely boosted by pills. I can still take him on.’
“Alright, let me see just what your strength is.”
Wan Xiangtian looked at the brat who was only at Foundation Establishment Stage and sneered.
“A cocky brat indeed, but I wonder if you have the strength to back it up?”
“My strength is beyond your imagination!”
Qin Mu prepared for battle.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator challenging a Golden Core cultivator—even if this Golden Core was watered down—would still be difficult to defeat.
“Heh, this kid wants to show off in front of a beauty. Better watch out, or he’ll lose face and his life.”
“Eh, don’t rush. Let’s watch first. Besides, don’t you see the guards standing over there? If anything goes wrong, they’ll come running.”
Although Wan Xiangtian’s strength was mediocre, he had been born into a good situation. As a member of Ghost Elephant Mountain, he naturally carried many treasures.
“Kid, today I’ll teach you who you should and shouldn’t mess with!”
Wan Xiangtian took out a golden ring, infused it with True Qi, and it emitted a faint glow.
“Go!”
Wan Xiangtian pointed at Qin Mu, and the golden ring immediately began spinning, flying toward him.
The moment someone saw the golden ring, they recognized what it was.
“Flying Sky Ring! That’s a high-grade magical treasure. With this treasure, even fighting a Golden Core Peak cultivator is no problem!”
Qin Mu watched the golden ring fly toward him. In an instant, his pupils turned gold.
‘Fighting alone would be difficult, but with Divine Dragon Senior’s power, it’s a piece of cake.’
Just as the golden ring was about to hit Qin Mu, his figure had already disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared right in front of Wan Xiangtian.
So fast! Among the onlookers, even some Golden Core cultivators couldn’t track Qin Mu’s movements.
Wan Xiangtian stared at Qin Mu, who had appeared like a ghost, and was shocked. He tried to control the ring to return, but it was too late.
“Hehe!”
Qin Mu grinned, showing his teeth, and said,
“Today, I’ll let you taste a fist as big as a sandbag!”
Condensing True Qi on his right fist, Qin Mu didn’t hesitate and punched quickly. This punch landed solidly on Wan Xiangtian’s face.
“Ugh!”
Accompanied by a scream, Wan Xiangtian’s figure flew backward, skidding along the ground for over ten meters.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. A moment ago, Wan Xiangtian was confident; the next, he was sent flying.
After knocking Wan Xiangtian away, Qin Mu’s pupils returned to their original color.
‘Tch, I thought he’d be tough, but it was this easy. I attacked, one move finished him. What’s there to say?’
“So? Do you admit defeat?” Qin Mu said calmly.
Qin Mu had given everyone around a tremendous visual shock. A Golden Core cultivator, no matter how weak, still had that cultivation realm. And Qin Mu was only at early Foundation Establishment.
If he were at Foundation Establishment Peak, such an outcome might be acceptable, but an early Foundation Establishment cultivator one-shotting a Golden Core? That was absolutely unbelievable!
Wan Xiangtian held his painful cheek and looked at the young man not far away.
“You little brat, you hit me. Just wait!”
With that, he took out a jade token and immediately crushed it.
“A Communication Jade Token! He’s calling for backup!”
“Tch, can’t win so he calls for help. Is this how a famous sect behaves?”
Wan Xiangtian stood up, glaring at Qin Mu with a venomous gaze.
“Kid, today you’re not leaving!”
Qin Mu watched Wan Xiangtian crush the jade token and asked Divine Dragon Senior in his mind.
“Divine Dragon Senior, after he crushed the token, about how long until people arrive?”
“Just a Nascent Soul realm token. At the earliest, it’ll take ten breaths.”
‘Ten breaths… that’s enough!’
Wan Xiangtian pressed on, saying,
“Kid, soon I’ll make you experience a fate worse than death…”
While Wan Xiangtian was speaking, on the other side, Qin Mu’s eyes turned gold again.
whoosh
Qin Mu’s figure disappeared from the spot again.
‘Not good!’
Having learned from the previous experience, Wan Xiangtian immediately turned to run. The moment he turned his head, the young man’s face, which was far away moments ago, was now right in front of him.
Qin Mu raised his fist and said,
“Road closed.”
“Ah!”
With a scream, Wan Xiangtian’s figure flew again. This time, Qin Mu hit the other side of his face. Now it’s symmetrical. Perfectionists would be thrilled.
The onlookers hadn’t expected that, even after the other party had crushed the jade token to call for help, Qin Mu’s instinct wasn’t to run but to land another punch. That felt satisfying, but now he couldn’t escape.
whoosh
A breeze blew. Unnoticed, a shadowy figure had appeared behind Qin Mu.
“Kid! Watch out!” Divine Dragon warned hurriedly.
The next moment, the shadowy figure struck down with a palm. Qin Mu turned his head, ready to receive the palm. But a white figure appeared before him. Qin Mu caught a familiar faint fragrance—it was Sister Ruoshuang!
Qin Ruoshuang, calm and unhurried, lightly tapped her finger, and a Sword Qi shot out from her fingertip. In an instant, the Sword Qi pierced through the shadowy figure’s palm. If the shadowy figure hadn’t reacted in time and pulled back, his entire palm would have been severed.
“Who exactly are you?!” the shadowy figure asked.
With such strength, so young, and a woman at that—he didn’t recall anyone like this in the Southern Region.
On the other side, Wan Xiangtian was also stunned. This was a Nascent Soul realm expert specifically protecting him, yet she couldn’t even defeat the woman in white!
Looking at the cold white figure, Wan Xiangtian swallowed. He seemed to have… provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
The surrounding crowd also gasped.
“Holy cow! At such a young age, she can repel a Nascent Soul realm expert? That’s too monstrous!”
Qin Ruoshuang didn’t reply, but looked at Mu’er behind her, with a hint of urgent inquiry in her eyes.
Qin Mu naturally knew what Sister Ruoshuang was anxious about. He shook his head and said,
“Sister Ruoshuang, I’m fine. He didn’t hit me just now.”
Since Mu’er was fine, Qin Ruoshuang looked at the shadowy figure, flipped her wrist, and a long sword appeared in her hand. Without a single word, Qin Ruoshuang attacked.
Sword marks appeared on the blade, and the terrifying Sword Intent made people feel their True Qi stagnate.
Facing Qin Ruoshuang’s attack, the shadowy figure didn’t dare be careless and quickly took out his lifebound treasure.
But the next moment, no one expected that, with a sweep of Sword Qi, a Nascent Soul realm expert fell on the spot.
