Chapter 777

Bam!

Before the two fists collided, Cao Qingyang's eyes flashed with admiration.

The sound of the fists colliding was crisp. Xu Qi 'an's body leaned back and was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, the muscles in his waist and abdomen trembled like water ripples, exerting force in an illogical way and pulling him back.

Cao Qingyang kept retreating, shaking his aching arm as he unloaded the force.

The tense atmosphere in the surroundings suddenly froze.

After dodging the saber ray, Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen stopped. They did not help or counterattack, but stared at Xu Qi 'an in shock.

'No way …'

Tian Ji and Tian Shu were both shocked and enraged. They stared at Xu Qi 'an, at every move he made, at every slight movement of his body.

An unbelievable thought emerged in their minds.

The Demon Taoists of the Earth Sect narrowed their eyes and glared at Xu Qi 'an with malice. The Blue Lotus Taoist priest's eyes flashed fiercely. He sneered and said, "Cao Qingyang, how much longer are you going to play?"

From their point of view, Cao Qingyang was being merciful and going easy on them on purpose.

"That, that punch just now …"

The experts of the Wulin League looked at each other.

As high-ranked Warriors, they were more knowledgeable than the Taoist priests of the Earth Sect.

The explosion of the punch and the small movements of Alliance Leader Cao when he was retreating proved that he was not acting. He was really pushed back by Xu Qi 'an.

"Phew …"

Xu Qi 'an exhaled and suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He did not let the joy creep up his face. He maintained his cold attitude and said slowly,

"I'm fifth-ranked!"

In fact, what he really wanted to say was: I'm an Earth Immortal!

However, this sentence still caused a huge stir in the "audience".

He was indeed fifth-ranked. He had said before that he wanted to use this opportunity to advance to fifth-ranked … Li Miaozhen's emotions were very complicated. She was happy for him, but also disappointed.

She was Tenzō Shōnin. What was a Saintess? Among the peers of Tenzō, only the most talented and had the greatest potential could become a Saintess.

Tenzō's status in the Jianghu was so high that people looked up to her. Every disciple of Tenzō was a genius in the Jianghu.

Li Miaozhen was the pride of Heaven among the pride of Heaven.

She had reached fourth-ranked in her early twenties. What level would she reach when she grew into a full-fledged begonia flower?

The Heavenly Sect's Taoist Master had once said that this generation's Holy Sons and Holy Virgins had a high chance of ascending to the third rank and transcending the mortal realm.

Li Miaozhen had been proud for 20 years, until she met Xu Qi 'an. She suddenly realized that her talent, which she was so proud of, was only average in front of him.

Li Miaozhen was excited. She said with a sigh, "I've seen many talented youths. Xu Yinluo was one of them. His talent was amazing."

Yang Cuixue's expression was one of excitement as he said with a sigh, "I have seen many young talents, and they are as many as the carps in the river. Xu Yinluo was one of the most outstanding among them.

"Xu Yinluo is really good for breaking through to fifth-ranked in the middle of a battle. It's said that his talent is on par with the King of Zhenbei. It's not an exaggeration. "Xiao Yuenu sighed.

Her face was covered by a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen. Her clear eyes suddenly shone like stars.

Jingcha, who joined the night watchman at the end of the year, was only at the peak of Spirit Refining. In less than a year, he had advanced from a ninth-ranked fast hand to a fifth-ranked Transforming Strength cultivator …

Tianji and Tianshu, the two secret agents, couldn't help but recall Xu Qi 'an's information.

His talent was even better than Chu Yuanzhen's.

Chu Yuanzhen had retired from the government to practice martial arts. He had long passed the best age to practice martial arts. No one thought that he could make any achievements in martial arts.

However, he had risen to power and slapped everyone in the face.

In just a few years, he had openly challenged the fourth-ranked Jinluo. This talent had caused a great sensation in the capital. Wei Yuan had praised him as the best swordsman in the capital.

That was the reason.

Xu Qi 'an's talent was even better than Chu Yuanzhen's.

If he wasn't killed, he would become a big problem in the future.

Qiu Chanyi's nose and eyes were red. The tears on her cheeks hadn't dried yet. At this moment, her mouth was slightly open, and she was in great shock.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader Cao."

Xu Qi 'an thanked him sincerely.

Cao Qingyang nodded and said, "Your golden body is at the end of its road. Without this protective skill, even if you enter fifth-ranked Transforming Strength, it will be a matter of a punch to me. Admit defeat."

Physical defense was the foundation of a Warrior's close-range combat. Without his bronze skin and iron bones, how could he block his opponent's attacks?

Xu Qi 'an didn't admit defeat. "How will you know if you don't try?"

Cao Qingyang said in a low voice, "This time, I won't hold back."

In the lingering sound, his body was torn to shreds by the wind. It was only an afterimage. The Purple Dress Alliance Leader flashed in front of Xu Qi 'an and punched straight at his face.

Xu Qi 'an's figure dissipated, and he appeared to the left of Cao Qingyang.

"Could it be that Alliance Master Cao has forgotten my unique skill?"

Xu Qi 'an quickly closed in, his fists and palms landing on Cao Qingyang's body.

He disappeared again, avoiding Cao Qingyang's back and appearing on the other side of the Purple Dress Alliance Leader. He was about to start a new round of close combat.

However, Cao Qingyang's warrior instincts were just as sharp. He grabbed Xu Qi 'an's wrist with a backhand and tilted his body at the same time, turning himself into a collapsed stone pillar.

Xu Qi 'an retracted his hand first. He alternately punched with his fists and hit the collapsed stone pillar back.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Relying on their physical skills, the two of them were able to produce an effect that shocked the onlookers. Their moves were continuous and flawless, fierce and ferocious.

If it were someone of the same level with another system, they would have been killed eight to ten times in such an intense close-combat.

The audience outside the arena was surprised to find that Xu Yinluo had been suppressing Alliance Leader Cao since some time ago.

Xu Yinluo seemed to have the ability to predict the future. He was always able to dodge first or cut off Alliance Leader Cao's attacks first, then give a set of fierce attacks.

Although Alliance Leader Cao relied on his indestructible physique to ignore Xu Yinluo's attacks to a certain extent, it was a fact that he was at a disadvantage.

This was when Xu Yinluo's Vajra Power was on the verge of collapse. If he was at his peak, Alliance Leader Cao would probably be suppressed to the point where he couldn't fight back … Many people couldn't help but think.

At this moment, Xu Qi 'an's face suddenly flushed red, and his moves became sluggish. Such a huge opening could not be ignored. Cao Qingyang seized the opportunity and punched Xu Qi' an in the chest, causing him to stagger backward.

After that, he attacked without any gaps. After the punch was a flying kick, and then he pulled back, followed by an inch punch, followed by an elbow strike and a whip kick. Then he pulled back, and it was another set of powerful attacks.

Bang!

The golden light shook violently and disappeared completely.

The Vajra Power was broken.

Xu Qi 'an slammed his palm on Cao Qingyang's chest. With a twist of his wrist, his palm faced upward, along his opponent's hard chest, and then he slapped Cao Qingyang's jaw.

Thump thump thump … Alliance Leader Cao took a few steps back, feeling that his jaw was almost dislocated.

Xu Qi 'an ended the battle and cupped his fists. "I lost."

"It seems that Alliance Leader Cao is still more skilled …" Just as everyone thought this, they heard Cao Qingyang say,

"You're injured. If you were at your peak, I might not be your match."

Does Alliance Leader Cao mean that he can't beat Xu Qi 'an with physical skills alone?

Many people stared at Xu Qi 'an with strange eyes.

At this moment, the nine-colored lotus in the cold pool shot up into the sky with a magnificent glow.

After a few breaths, the glow dissipated, and the nine-colored flower bud floating on the surface of the pool slowly bloomed, petal by petal.

Many people looked away from Xu Qi 'an and looked at the lotus. In a blink, many people were breathing heavily.

Suddenly, a large amount of black mist rushed out of Blue Lotus Taoist Master's forehead.

The black mist formed into a blurry human figure. It seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. Before anyone could react, it rushed to the cold pool and the nine-colored lotus.

The Dao Master's clone of the Earth Sect had been hiding in Blue Lotus Taoist Master's body the whole time, fooling everyone.

He wanted to take the lotus as fast as possible and escape before the Overlord who had appeared in Chu Zhou City could react.

That's right, the Earth Sect had always believed that the mysterious expert was hiding nearby.

Cao Qingyang slashed with his hand like a blade, easily cutting the black mist, but the black mist quickly reformed and didn't cause any real damage.

Daoist Golden Lotus, who was sitting cross-legged beside the pool, finally opened his eyes.

"Black Lotus, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

At the same time, the Jinlian Taoist priest's forehead collapsed like a black hole and a vortex appeared out of nowhere, sucking the clone of the Black Lotus into it.

The Jinlian Taoist priest then closed his eyes and remained motionless like a stone statue.

He was going to fight the clone of the Earth Sect Master on the other side of the battlefield.

The Jinlian Taoist priest had taken care of a threat, but he had also given the lotus to the Wulin League.

The Lotus Taoist Master of the Earth Sect, Lord Huai's spy, and other forces fought for the lotus.

Faced with the threat of these "minions", Cao Qingyang flipped his hand and slashed with his saber. Saber intent swept across the entire area.

"Argh …"

Other than the fourth-grade Overlords, everyone else spat out blood as the Blade Intent swept through them.

Only one person dared to stand in front of him.

Cao Qingyang narrowed his eyes and stared at the insatiable young man. He said coldly,

He said coldly, "Xu Yinluo, our bet is over. This time, I won't go easy on you. I've already given you face as much as I should. Now, even if I kill you with one slap, no one in the Jianghu can say anything about it. "

Seeing this, Tianji and Tianshu, who were in shock and anger, suddenly felt that the development of the situation was very much in line with their expectations.

They were worried that Xu Qi 'an would not be easy to kill. He had the protection of the Yue Family Villa and the righteous Wulin League.

Suddenly, things took a turn for the better.

Cao Qingyang was determined to get the nine-colored lotus. He had given in to Xu Qi 'an just now. Now, Xu Qi 'an did not give in and tried to stop him. Even if Cao Qingyang hurt or killed someone, the outside world would not be able to say anything.

The disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society were anxious.

They shouted, "Prince Xu, you've done your best. You don't have to guard the lotus anymore."

"Prince Xu, step back. Step back."

They really felt that it was enough. Xu Yinluo had tried his best. He had done his best. The disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society even felt that the lotus was not as important as Xu Yinluo's safety.

Xu Qi 'an ignored them. He looked at Cao Qingyang and said with a smile, "It's not me who wants to stop you. It's someone else."

He reached into his bosom and took out a yellow protective talisman. He ignited it with what little Qi he had left.

He shouted, "Imperial Advisor, save me. I'm Xu Qi 'an."
