"This energy fluctuation must be from a Stage Six powerhouse!"
"Another Stage Six powerhouse. Didn't Emperor Chu say that the guest next to him was also a Stage Six powerhouse?"
"I've lived for decades and have never seen a Stage Six powerhouse before, but I've seen two today!"
"Don't you think this old man looks familiar?"
…
The officials of the cultural relics department looked at the old man who had flown to the sky above the arena from afar and discussed animatedly.
"Han 'er greets Ancestor Xuan! Congratulations on reaching Stage Six! "
Chu Han stepped forward and bowed deeply to the old man. Other than respect, there was also joy on his face.
Before he went into seclusion, Ancestor Xuan's eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and his wrinkled skin was like a crumpled paper ball. But now, he was full of energy, and his bald head had sparse black hair again.
When he noticed that the officials below did not move, Chu Han immediately turned and shouted, "Why aren't you saluting Ancestor Xuan?"
Hearing that, the officials were stunned at first, but when they came back to their senses, they all knelt and bowed to the old man.
"Han 'er, you don't have to be so formal. I'm just an old man now, and I don't care about the court anymore. If I didn't hear from Yu 'er that someone coveted my Chu immortal treasure, the Hou Yi bow, I wouldn't have come out of seclusion. "
Chu Ao did not seem to care about his image. He twisted his neck and looked at Chen Nan. "I didn't expect you to break the taboo of the Hou Yi bow and draw it again and again. It's really shocking."
"I'm the owner of the Hou Yi bow. Of course, I can draw it at any time."
Chen Nan looked at Chu Ao cautiously. He could feel the terrifying energy hidden in the other party's body.
"I just came out of seclusion, and my hands are itching."
Chu Ao narrowed his eyes. "Little guy, if you can defeat me, I'll give you the Hou Yi bow."
Chen Nan frowned and hesitated for a moment. He raised the Hou Yi bow again, and spots of golden light appeared from his right palm to form an arrow. As Chen Nan's aura rose, the black Hou Yi bow burst out with a dazzling golden light.
The bowstring was slowly drawn, and the golden arrow shot toward the old man. Wherever it passed, it left a golden rainbow in the void.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing resounded in the sky.
"The power of this bow in your hands is indeed extraordinary!"
Chu Ao's eyes shone with a golden light as he stared fervently at the Hou Yi bow in Chen Nan's hands. "Before I went into seclusion, I'm afraid that even I would have suffered serious injuries from this arrow!"
"Ancestor Xuan, he actually took it with his bare hands!"
"This arrow was even more powerful than the arrow that was used to deal with the three Dragon Knights, but not only did Ancestor Xuan receive it, he was also unharmed!"
"This is the strength of a Type 6 Divine Warrior? Even the immortal treasure, Hou Yi Bow, can't do anything to him! "
…
A group of civil and military officials looked at Chu Ao with admiration, praising him endlessly.
Chu Han let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, when he saw Chu Ao catching the arrow with his bare hands, he was worried that he would be injured by the arrow. Fortunately, everything was fine.
Chen Nan's face turned serious. That arrow from before was already the strongest arrow he could shoot. But even so, he was still unable to injure the other party.
Just as Chen Nan pulled the bowstring again, Chu Ao clenched his right hand, and the arrow in his palm turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.
"Little guy, this Hou Yi Bow should be returned to the Chu Dynasty's royal family."
As his slightly hoarse voice sounded, Chu Ao waved his right hand, stirring up waves of strong wind.
In the next moment, light surged and evolved into a huge golden palm. With a rumbling sound, the golden palm swept toward Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly shot an arrow.
Crack!
The golden palm crushed the arrow and continued forward, crashing into Chen Nan's body with a loud bang. Then, the golden palm rose and wrapped around the Hou Yi Bow in Chen Nan's hand.
Under the powerful force, Chen Nan's figure flew back nearly ten meters like a cannonball, stumbling for a while before stabilizing his body.
"Father, the Hou Yi Bow is back!"
Looking at the Hou Yi Bow in Chu Ao's hand, Chu Yu and Chu Yue's faces were filled with excitement.
"Sigh, why can't I pull it open?"
With the Hou Yi Bow in hand, Chu Ao couldn't help but sigh after a few fruitless attempts.
After sighing, Chu Ao's line of sight returned to Chen Nan, and he said indifferently, "Little guy, although every arrow you shoot with the Hou Yi Bow has the power to injure a Fifth Stage expert, it has no effect in front of me. If you are willing to stay in the House of Prodigy and serve the Chu Dynasty, I can temporarily let you keep the Hou Yi Bow. "
Chen Nan bit his lips and didn't reply, but cast his gaze toward Chu Bei who was sitting on a chair in the stands.
"Master, please make a move."
Chen Nan asked Chu Bei for help. Although he possessed the Talent of Light, due to his Tier 2 strength and the fact that he hadn't fully developed his Talent of Light, and without the Houyi Bow, his overall strength was at most comparable to a Tier 4 expert. He was far from being a match for the old man before him.
"Have you forgotten your ability? Even if you can't beat him, you can elementalize and be in an invincible position. "After his indifferent voice sounded, Chu Bei took a step and appeared beside Chen Nan in a flash.
Chen Nan scratched his head awkwardly, "My mind was on the Hou Yi Bow just now, so I didn't react."
"Is this esteemed guest going to stand up for that little guy? He can't be going to fight Ancestor Xuan, right? "
"If that's really the case, then aren't we going to see a peerless battle between two Sixth Stage experts?"
"We're so close, won't we be affected by the terrifying shockwaves of the battle?"
… …
The gazes of the civil and military officials switched back and forth between Chu Bei and Chu Ao, and while their faces were filled with excitement, they all retreated one after another.
Looking at the two people facing each other in the air, Chu Han took a deep breath. The Hou Yi Bow's true owner depended on the outcome of the battle between these two.
"I heard Yu 'er say that you're also at the Sixth Stage?"
Looking at Chu Bei who was also standing in the void, Chu Ao asked tentatively with a puzzled look on his face. The other party being able to hover in the air was indeed the mark of a Sixth Stage expert. However, he couldn't feel the fluctuation of energy from the other party.
"Yes or no, you'll have your answer in a moment."
Chu Bei crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Chu Ao mockingly. "Bullying a junior is nothing. Since you're itching, why don't the two of us spar?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking! Let me see what kind of strength the person who can cultivate such a powerful little guy has! "
As his voice fell, Chu Ao's black hair rose up, and the red light around his body was like a raging fire, as if he was wearing a layer of exquisite armor.
Chu Ao stepped into the air, and an unparalleled aura spread out with him as the center, causing the civil and military officials around him to be unable to breathe.
After a while, Chu Ao's aura climbed to the peak. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a broad blade appeared in his hand. With a wave of the blade, a blazing blade light swept downwards.
The bright brilliance surged with a huge energy fluctuation, bringing with it a fierce wind that hit the battle arena.
Whoosh!
In the strange whistling of the blade light, the huge battle arena was split in half, and a deep gully was shocking.
"The blade of a Stage Six powerhouse is so terrifying!"
The civil and military officials in the arena sucked in a breath of cold air. Chu Ao's casual warm-up attack actually caused such a terrifying force.
Looking at Chu Bei, who was calm and relaxed, Chu Ao frowned and reminded him, "This is my first same-level battle after entering Stage Six. I will treat it seriously, and I hope you won't be careless."
Chu Bei indifferently glanced at Chu Ao, whose face was full of fighting spirit, and did not respond. He only raised his hand and waved at the latter. His indifferent attitude made it seem as if he did not take this battle between two peerless experts to heart.
"Arrogant!"
Chu Ao snorted and changed from holding the blade with one hand to holding it with both hands.
Suddenly, the vitality released by his body intertwined with the blade light, and there was a burst of cracking sound.
Under everyone's gaze, Chu Ao began to become illusory, and the blade light became bigger and bigger.
In a few breaths, the blade light, which was originally a hundred feet long, became a hundred feet long. And Chu Ao also disappeared, as if he had completely integrated into the broad blade.
At this moment, Chu Ao was the blade, and the blade was Chu Ao.
The realm of One with the Blade!
"Ancestor Xuan's momentum is already so terrifying. Why is that person still so calm?"
"Why hasn't this distinguished guest condensed his momentum? Does he think that he is a veteran Stage Six powerhouse and can easily defeat Ancestor Xuan, who just broke through Stage Six? "
"From the beginning to the end, I didn't notice the vitality fluctuation on his body. Maybe he is already ready to admit defeat."
"Looking at Ancestor Xuan's posture, the outcome of this battle is very likely to be decided in one move!"
…
The civil and military officials held their breaths, and their eyes locked on the blade light that was gradually stabilizing.
Chu Han and Chu Yu also tensed up, and from time to time, they looked at Chu Bei with puzzlement in their eyes. At this time, the other party still had not made the slightest move.
The only one who was calm was Chu Nan.
Although he did not know much about the master who gave him the inheritance, he was very sure that the other party was more than enough to deal with a so-called Stage Six powerhouse.
Rumble!
With a buzzing sound, the blade light shot toward Chu Bei.
The dazzling blade light was like a shocking rainbow that streaked across the sky like lightning, and a vast energy fluctuation surged.
Although the blade light moved at a speed visible to the naked eye, it seemed to freeze the void where the blade pointed. If the opponent wanted to escape, it would arrive in the blink of an eye.
Coincidentally, Chu Bei had no intention of dodging. He still did not make any big movements, and he only raised his right hand slowly.
When the blade light arrived, his right hand clenched into a fist and met it.
Under everyone's gaze, the scene in the air was even somewhat laughable. Chu Bei was like an ant in front of the three hundred meter long saber light, let alone his fist.
Chu Bei's seemingly light punch was like a grain of sand trying to shake a mountain.
However, it was this seemingly laughable punch that had forcefully stopped the three hundred meter long saber light with its imposing aura.
Rumble!
In the air, a black light suddenly appeared on the surface of Chu Bei's fist and spread along the blade light. Then, there was an earth-shattering explosion.
The huge energy fluctuation was like a raging sea, vast and mighty, in the entire Inner Palace. The terrifying energy fluctuation tore through the void, and some officials with low cultivation immediately lost their balance and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the blade light seemed to have met a force that was a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times stronger than it was, and it shattered with a loud bang.
Crack!
The blade light dissipated, and a black shadow fell diagonally to the ground like a kite with a broken string, creating a deep crater with a buzzing sound.
A wide blade that had been broken in half was stuck at the edge of the crater.
"How … how is this possible!"
"Ancestor Xuan has lost!"
"Is he really at Rank 6?"
"Is there such a big gap between Rank 6 and Rank 6?"
"Do you think there is a higher realm above Rank 6?"
…
The civil and military officials were in a daze, and they stared at Chu Bei in the air with their mouths agape. From time to time, they would glance at the deep crater on the ground. The shocking scene just now had made them a little dazed.
The most powerful blow that Ancestor Chu Ao condensed, which could destroy heaven and earth, had collapsed under the opponent's light punch! The blade was broken, and the person himself was even more unsure of whether he was dead or alive.
"Ancestor Xuan!"
Chu Han, Chu Yu, and the others' faces changed greatly, and they quickly ran to the deep crater. At this time, they could no longer care about the Hou Yi bow.
What they were most afraid of was that the only Rank 6 master of Chu had died under the punch just now.
Fortunately, the result that they were most worried about did not happen. In the deep crater, a figure flew out shakily.
At this moment, Chu Ao's face was pale, his hands were naturally hanging down, and his breath was weak to the extreme. His black hair was messy, and his whole body was covered with dust, like an old man past his prime.
Chu Ao coughed again and again, glancing at the broken blade, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Finally, his eyes fixed on Chu Bei, and he said, "You are not at Rank 6 at all!"
Although he had just stepped into the realm of Rank 6, the previous blade was his strongest blow, and even at the moment of the blow, he had an epiphany, and the power had doubled.
In other words, even a Rank 6 master of the Great Ascension Stage would have to deal with it with all his strength.
On the other hand, the other party not only easily disintegrated his attack with a punch, but also seriously injured him. He understood that the other party deliberately controlled the strength of the punch, and only seriously injured him to a state where he could not fight back, and did not kill him.
Otherwise, the one lying in the deep crater would be a cold corpse.
"When did I say that I was Rank 6?"
Chu Bei looked at Chu Ao playfully with his hands behind his back, and with a wave of his right hand, he took back the Hou Yi bow from Chu Ao.
Chen Nan on the side, although he had already guessed the result, his face could not help but show a look of shock.
From the beginning, he was sure that Chu Bei could defeat Chu Ao, but he did not expect that he could win so easily.
Hearing Chu Bei's words, Chu Ao's face was ugly to the extreme, and he turned to look at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu shrank his neck and pointed at Chu Han.
Chu Han's mouth showed a helpless smile, and then he glared fiercely at Zhuge Chengfeng in the crowd.
Zhuge Chengfeng coughed and avoided Chu Han's murderous gaze.
Thinking back, along the way, this person had easily scared away the Rank 4 Volcanic Giant Python, and then killed three Rank 4 masters of the Baiyue Nation with a raise of his hand, but he had never clearly stated his strength.
Rank 6, this was their guess from the beginning to the end!
