The woman had suffered ten slaps from Xing Jue, which was considered the lightest. This was because the two men who came with the woman had been beaten black and blue by Xing Jue. They were unrecognizable until they fainted. Only then did he spare their lives.
Moreover, this bloody scene had been witnessed by the disciples of the East Branch who had come to join in the fun. After this incident, Xing Jue's ferocious name resounded once again.
"Senior Brother Wan, this Xing Jue is really looking down on you."
"He clearly knows that Hu Mei and the others are your people, but he still beat them like this. It is obvious that he is going against you."
However, in the crowd, there were two figures that did not belong to the East Branch. They were two young men.
The two of them hid their auras very deeply, especially the man with a pair of thick, eagle-like eyebrows. His aura was even more unfathomable.
As for this man, he was Zhou Peng's cousin, the mastermind behind the woman and two men. He was ranked tenth in the Central College's Power Ranking, Wan Duan.
"I, Wan Duan, naturally can deal with this Xing Jue. However, if this were to spread to the Central College, I would definitely become a laughing stock."
"Therefore, before this Xing Jue enters the Central College, I cannot make a move against him." Wan Duan replied with a sound transmission.
"Are we just going to leave this brat alone?"
"Of course not. I heard that tomorrow, this Xing Jue has a battle with a brat called Gao Lin from the South Branch. This is a good opportunity to make this Xing Jue suffer a setback."
"However, even Hu Mei is not this brat's match. How could that Gao Lin be his match?"
"In a normal battle, that Gao Lin would definitely not be a match for Xing Jue. However, with this, with his strength as a Beginner Martial Master, he would definitely be able to defeat Xing Jue." Wan Duan opened his palm and two dark green pills appeared in his palm.
"This is … Forbidden Medicine!" The man looked at the two pills in his hand and was immediately shocked.
"That's right. This is the heirloom of Zhao Village that we obtained when we destroyed it, the Forbidden Medicine."
"This Forbidden Medicine can instantly increase a person's strength by several times. However, the side effects are extremely powerful. You and I cannot use it, but if we give it to that Gao Lin, he will definitely be willing to try it." A sinister smile appeared on Wan Peng's face.
Wan Peng and the man's conversation was through sound transmission. even though the two of them were in the crowd, they did not wear the Central College's badge. Therefore, they did not attract anyone 'attention. This was because at this moment, all the East Branch disciples' attention was focused on the Dragon Branch.
A disciple from the Central College had come to the East College to cause trouble, and this matter had alarmed the Elders' Chamber. However, with Elder Ouyang's relationship with the Punishment Execution Hall, the one who was punished was naturally that Central College disciple.
Furthermore, the Elder Council had specially allocated a Level 1 Immortal Herb to treat the Dragon Group members' injuries. However, Xing Jue, who had already become an alchemist, did not lack healing medicine.
Furthermore, the Elders had specially allocated first rank Immortal Herbs for the Dragon Branch members to heal. However, as an alchemist, Xing Jue did not lack healing herbs.
With the help of the second rank Immortal Herbs, the injured Dragon Branch members only needed to rest for a night before their injuries were mostly healed. The next day, they all came to the Outer Branch's Battle Plaza to watch Zhang Xing and Gao Shu's battle.
In the past year, news of Zhang Xing and Gao Shu's battle over a wife had already spread throughout the four Outer Branch Monasteries. So at this moment, the Battle Plaza could be said to be unprecedentedly lively.
Not only had more than half the disciples from the four Outer Branch Monasteries come, but even many Elders from the Elders' Hall had come to watch. That was especially true for Elder Zhong Li, who was the judge for this battle. Elder Ouyang was also here.
Just Zhang Xing and Gao Shu's battle naturally would not have such an effect. Most importantly, there was still another battle after their battle, and those two were the main reason why everyone had come.
They were the Southern Branch's strongest expert, Gao Lin, and the Eastern Branch's strongest expert, Xing Jue, the new rising star of the Branch Monasteries.
"Brother Zhang, I feel that there is something wrong with the Gao brothers today. Later on, you must not be careless. You must be careful."
At this moment, Xing Jue was standing beside Zhang Xing. As he looked at the confident Gao Lin and Gao Shu, he could not help but frown. With his sharp soul, he could feel that the aura of the two was somewhat strange.
"Xing Jue, don't worry. According to what I know, even though Gao Shu has been using Body Tempering Essence to strengthen his body for the past year, he is still at the level of a middle rank martial artist."
"Moreover, during these eight months, I have been fighting with Alternate Creatures in the Limitless Secret Room. My battle techniques have also greatly improved, and I have already mastered them."
"With the current me, dealing with Gao Shu is no problem at all." Zhang Xing did not take Xing Jue's warning seriously. Instead, he directly walked towards the Battle Plaza.
"Could it be that I am being overly suspicious?" Upon seeing this, Xing Jue did not return to his seat. Instead, he stood at the place closest to the Battle Plaza. This was to prevent any accidents from happening, so that he could lend a hand.
"Oh ~ ~ ~ ~"
After the two main characters of today's battle, Zhang Xing and Gao Shu, arrived at the Battle Plaza, deafening cheers resounded throughout the entire place. That was because the most exciting moment had finally arrived.
"Swoosh"
After entering the arena, Zhang Xing did not say a word. With a leap, his figure had already turned into a ray of light as he violently shot towards Gao Shu.
"Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh"
Zhang Xing's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already shot in front of Gao Shu. As he swung his arms, every time he struck, a dark purple light would be emitted. Like a rainstorm, it smashed towards Gao Shu's face.
"Hmph, too slow."
However, facing Zhang Xing's lightning fast continuous attacks, Gao Shu had a relaxed expression. He leisurely and contentedly swung his shoulders, and actually easily dodged all of Zhang Xing's fierce attacks.
Such an intense battle caused the crowd to be even more excited. From their point of view, this was definitely an exciting battle.
"As expected, there is a problem."
Ordinary people might not be able to see the changes in the two's close combat attacks, but Xing Jue could clearly see that Gao Shu's reaction was far above Zhang Xing's. At this moment, he was completely giving way to Zhang Xing.
"Damn it!"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh"
Tyrannical attacks were continuously launched, but they were unable to touch Gao Shu at all. Zhang Xing became more and more impatient. His attacks were getting faster and faster, but they were getting more and more disorderly.
Looking at Zhang Xing in this state, Xing Jue's eyebrows were tightly knitted. He constantly transmitted his voice to Zhang Xing, hinting him to calm down. However, at this moment, Zhang Xing was obviously already crazy. He simply ignored Xing Jue's transmitted voice.
"Zhang Xing, quickly retreat!" Suddenly, Xing Jue's pupils suddenly widened as he transmitted his voice to Zhang Xing.
"Bang!"
However, before Zhang Xing could understand the reason behind Xing Jue's transmitted voice, Gao Shu's powerful palm had already fiercely bombarded on Zhang Xing's chest. Zhang Xing actually did not feel this attack at all.
"Ahh!"
After being hit by the palm, Zhang Xing instantly burst out and flew backward. A large mouthful of blood sprayed into the air like a blood-red cloud.
"Ha!"
However, even so, Gao Shu did not intend to let Zhang Xing go. At the same time that Zhang Xing flew backward, Gao Shu's figure actually leaped forward and instantly swept over Zhang Xing who was flying backward.
"Go to hell!"
At the same time, Gao Shu clenched his five fingers and turned his palm into a fist. A majestic force condensed in his fist and fiercely smashed down on Zhang Xing's chest. He actually wanted to destroy Zhang Xing's cultivation.
"No!"
Looking at the ferocious smile on Gao Shu's face and the fist that was smashing down, Zhang Xing also felt that something was wrong. He shouted with all his might, but it was to no avail.
At this moment, even the two elders who presided over this battle could feel that something was wrong. However, when they realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. Gao Shu's fist had already landed.
"Swoosh!"
However, just as Gao Shu was about to succeed, a figure appeared beside Gao Shu like a ghost. It was Xing Jue.
"Get out of my way!"
Xing Jue, who had already seen through Gao Shu's vicious intentions, did not hold back at all. He threw a punch at Gao Shu's face, intending to send him flying and thus save Zhang Xing.
"Pa!"
"Your opponent is me!"
However, to Xing Jue's surprise, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear. At the same time, his fist was unexpectedly intercepted by a palm that suddenly appeared, unable to hit Gao Shu's body.
"Ahh!" At this moment, only Zhang Xing's painful voice could be heard. Gao Shu's fist had already bombarded Zhang Xing's chest.
At this moment, Xing Jue also clearly saw that the person who blocked his fist was none other than Gao Shu's younger brother, Gao Lin.
Xing Jue had originally wanted to repel Gao Shu with a single blow and thus save Zhang Xing. However, he had never expected that Gao Lin would also suddenly make a move, causing Zhang Xing to directly receive Gao Shu's punch that was enough to destroy his cultivation.
"Bastard, you're courting death!"
Looking at Zhang Xing, who was clutching his chest and howling in pain, Xing Jue's anger reached its peak. His palms danced as he displayed a soft fist and was about to attack Gao Lin.
"Xing Jue, stop!"
However, at this moment, the figures of two elders suddenly appeared between Xing Jue and Gao Lin, stopping the battle between the two. These two were Elder Zhongli and Elder Ouyang.
At this moment, Xing Jue could no longer control his emotions as he shouted at the two elders, "Elders, that Gao Shu intentionally destroyed Zhang Xing's cultivation. Such a malicious act should be punished severely!"
"You've wronged me, elders. I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to follow up on my victory."
"Who would have thought that Xing Jue would suddenly appear and frighten me so much that I panicked and hit Zhang Xing's Sea of Vital Energy?" However, at the same time, Gao Shu began to quibble with an aggrieved expression and pushed all the blame onto Xing Jue.
"Bullsh * t!" After hearing Gao Shu's quibble, Xing Jue became even more furious and wanted to slap him to death.
"Alright, we'll judge who's right and who's wrong!"
"Gao Shu, your battle with Zhang Xing has ended. You can leave first."
"Xing Jue, we'll judge the matter between Zhang Xing and Gao Shu later. Now, you should seriously finish this battle!" Elder Ouyang was currently treating Zhang Xing's injuries as he solemnly instructed the two of them.
Subsequently, Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhongli brought the injured Zhang Xing and left the arena. At this moment, only Xing Jue and Gao Lin were left on the arena.
The previous scene happened in a split second. Even the two elders were a step too late. The disciples outside the arena were even more confused about the situation.
"Oh ~ ~ ~"
However, they saw Zhang Xing lying on the ground with a pained expression, Xing Jue with a furious expression, and Gao Lin who was calm and composed with a faint smile on his lips.
In particular, when only Xing Jue and Gao Lin were left on the arena, the cheers outside the arena reached the peak.
This was because they knew that the battle between Zhang Xing and Gao Shu had already ended. Although they were somewhat unsatisfied, the battle that they were most looking forward to was finally about to arrive.
