Gao Zhengyang's golden armor shone brightly and his blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind. Standing at the top of the steps, he naturally gave off the aura of being able to defend against ten thousand enemies alone.
Charm, Zhang Yu, Huo Tianfa, and Yu Qingwei gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Yu Qingwei was the weakest, but she represented the Merfolk Race and was qualified to participate in such a big event.
"I see that he is full of energy. Not only has his injuries healed, but his cultivation has also improved. He is even stronger than two days ago. "
Charm's expression was very solemn. Gao Zhengyang had become a roadblock, and they had no good solution.
Huo Tianfa shook his head slightly and said in confusion, "He burned his own energy with that punch. He was lucky to be able to survive. How did he come out alive and well in just two days? Could someone in the Dragon Palace be helping him? "
As he spoke, Huo Tianfa looked suspiciously at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu and the rest had been busy in the Dragon Palace Ruins for so long. It would be hard for them to say that they didn't know anything.
Zhang Yu was very unhappy with the stare. What did Huo Tianfa mean? Did he think that he was hiding something? It was okay to hide something, but he didn't know anything. It was a little unfair to be the scapegoat.
"We have been exploring the Dragon Palace Ruins for half a year and have not found any intelligent life."
Zhang Yu explained helplessly, "You can tell just by looking at the array. There is no one controlling it. As for the rest, I don't know anything. "
Huo Tianfa's expression was indifferent. He didn't believe Zhang Yu. Moreover, he didn't want to hide his distrust.
They weren't on the same side and were only working together temporarily. Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or not, Huo Tianfa had to act tough.
Huo Tianfa's silence made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Zhang Yu was even more unhappy. As the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Sea Race Alliance, the sea region under his jurisdiction was bigger than the seven nations combined. Huo Tianfa was just an Imperial Preceptor of a nation, yet he dared to show disrespect to him.
He didn't want to explain anymore. He looked coldly at Gao Zhengyang and didn't say a word.
Their silence made the awkward atmosphere even more oppressive and tense.
Yu Qingwei was secretly delighted. It was best if Huo Tianfa and Zhang Yu fought. Then, no one would pay attention to Gao Zhengyang.
Unfortunately, she also knew that these two old cunning fellows would not fall out with each other right now.
"I also think that there are people in the Dragon Palace ruins. Otherwise, Gao Zhengyang wouldn't have repeatedly tried to stop us. Also, there's something wrong with how he recovered so quickly. "
Charm broke the silence.
Yu Qingwei thought for a moment and said, "Are there still dragons inside?"
As she spoke, Yu Qingwei's clear blue eyes revealed a hint of fear. Now that she had been made a slave by Gao Zhengyang, her life and death were out of her control. The fear in her eyes was very natural.
Even the sly and cunning Zhang Yu and Huo Tian Fa could not see any problems.
Their expressions also changed slightly. If there were really dragons inside, it would be very troublesome.
The Dragon Race had a long lifespan and great strength. Even if he didn't cultivate much, he would still be able to reach the Saint level after a few years.
Although the Sea Clan Alliance was powerful, they would not be able to do anything to the Sage-level Dragon Race.
The Dragon race was extremely vengeful. If he really angered the dragon race … The humans could still run, but the Oceanic Tribe Alliance had nowhere to run.
Zhang Yu was not afraid, but he couldn't help but be a little wary.
"There has been no trace of the Dragon Race for thousands of years, how could there be such a coincidence? Even if it really is a dragon, so what? Dragon skin, dragon meat, dragon blood, dragon bones, dragon body, they are all treasures. The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth has arrived, how can we care so much! "
Huo Tian Fa came out of seclusion this time because his lifespan was almost up, and he wanted to find treasures and elixirs that could extend his lifespan or break through.
The Dragon Palace was right in front of him. Not to mention that there might be dragons inside, even if a dragon really appeared, he would have to test it first.
Zhang Yu was not a young boy who would get carried away by a few words. The Dragon Race was indeed full of treasures. But they also needed to have the ability to slay dragons.
Just one Gao Zhengyang was enough to make them depressed. Not to mention the powerful Dragon Race.
Zhang Yu pondered and said, "This is not a small matter, we still need to consider carefully …"
Charm suddenly interrupted, "Why bother? Everything will be clear once we capture Gao Zhengyang."
"How?" Yu Qingwei glanced at Charm and said sarcastically, "Are you going to do it alone?"
Last time, when the four of them worked together to kill Gao Zhengyang, Yu Qingwei fell into a huge pit. But she could not tell others about this, and she was almost suffocating!
Talking about this now, she was naturally full of resentment.
Charm faintly glanced at Yu Qingwei and sternly said, "I'll go alone. In a battle between powerhouses, the more people, the better. "
Zhang Yu hesitated and said, "Your Excellency, we should be more cautious on this matter."
Of course, Zhang Yu was happy that Charm took the initiative to stand up for him. But there might still be dragons hidden in the Dragon Palace ruins. He still hoped that Charm could maintain her combat strength and be ready to react.
To deal with Gao Zhengyang, it was best to swarm him together. With so many powerhouses, three to four in a group, they could take turns to kill Gao Zhengyang.
"No need."
Charm replied decisively and walked up the stairs towards Gao Zhengyang.
Zhang Yu hesitated and said to Huo Tianfa, "Isn't this too risky?"
Huo Tianfa was very confident in Charm, "She can do it. Even if she can't capture Gao Zhengyang alive, at least she won't lose. "
Charm's ranking on the Heaven List was two ranks higher than Huo Tianfa. In terms of strength, Huo Tianfa also admitted that he was inferior to Charm.
Peak Rank Nine powerhouses would not have much of a difference in strength. What truly determined the difference was combat talent.
Just like Gao Zhengyang, his strength was clearly not at the peak of Rank Nine, but he was able to create a peerless fist technique and beat up three powerhouses. This was combat talent.
Charm also had this kind of talent. She was not an amazing powerhouse, but stable, simple, robust, and would never make a mistake.
As long as there was no overwhelming power, it was impossible to kill Charm.
Huo Tianfa was not interested in explaining this to Zhang Yu and the rest. It was useless to say more, it still depended on Charm's actual performance.
Charm walked up the stairs step by step. She did not seek to break the formation, but only used her sword qi to protect herself. No matter how the water, fire, wind, and lightning changed, they could not stop her from moving forward.
Honestly speaking, Gao Zhengyang was a little surprised that Charm came up alone. He also admired Charm's bravery.
She took the initiative to retreat ten steps, giving way to the entrance of the stairs.
Gao Zhengyang's position was on the platform on the stairs. It was a few dozen feet in radius and was very suitable for fighting.
After this platform, another few dozen feet forward was the main entrance of the Crystal Palace.
Charm walked up the platform and slowly pulled out the Flowing Wind Sword from her back. She turned the sword around and cupped her hands towards Gao Zhengyang, "Wind Nation's Charm, please advise me."
Charm was not good at communication. She and Gao Zhengyang had a huge age difference, and she did not like Gao Zhengyang to speak without thinking, so she simply did not say anything.
"Heart Buddha Sect's Gao Zhengyang. Please. "
Gao Zhengyang also cupped his hands in return. This was the basic etiquette of a martial artist. Respecting one's opponent was also respecting oneself and martial arts.
Charm raised the Flowing Wind Sword to her forehead. The sword was at the same level as her eyebrows, and she pointed it directly at Gao Zhengyang.
Eyebrows Sword was also the most basic starting move in sword arts.
Charm had practiced the sword for more than two hundred years, and her sword arts were incomparably pure. As the sword was raised, the hands, eyes, body, heart, will, and spirit naturally became one with the sword as the center.
Only purity, only essence, and only one.
When one's sword arts reached this level, they had already touched the level of the Sword Dao. This was almost the same as Turtle Spring Muramasa.
When one's martial arts reached the highest level, they were all interlinked.
Whether it was the Drawing Technique, the Flowing Wind Sword, or even Gao Zhengyang's Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations, they were all different paths to climb to the peak of the Martial Dao. In the end, they would all return to the same place and reach the same peak.
This time, Charm put down all her schemes and plans, and only treated Gao Zhengyang as the strongest enemy of her life.
The last time a few people attacked together, it made her lose the determination and fighting spirit to fight. Therefore, when Gao Zhengyang punched out, she was powerless to fight.
At this moment, Charm's aura had also reached the peak after constantly accumulating strength and cultivating fighting spirit.
Although the sky was full of wind and thunder, it did not affect Charm much. At least for a short period of time, she could do whatever she wanted without worrying too much about the influence of the spirit formation.
In Gao Zhengyang's view, the green sword qi condensed on Charm's body was like a rotating needle, revolving around her body, cleansing the surrounding water, fire, wind, and thunder, and forcibly opening up a small sword domain that was not disturbed.
Charm with the divine sword in her hand was like a general with a tiger seal, and seemed to be able to command the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to control all living beings.
This was the first time that Gao Zhengyang had met such a brilliant martial artist. In comparison, Yan Shisan was too feminine, Feng Xiaotian was too fierce, Hui Ming was too tough, and Turtle Spring Muramasa was too deep. Even his master, Jue Mie, who had a heroic aura, could not compare to Charm's purity.
Out of all the martial artists that he had met, Charm in front of him was the most brilliant.
Previously, when Gao Zhengyang used his nuclear fist to send Charm, Zhang Yu, and Huo Tianfa flying, he could not help but look down on Charm.
But now, he corrected his attitude and did not dare to look down on her anymore.
Charm was definitely a strong enemy.
Gao Zhengyang's thoughts changed, and the Dragon King Halberd was placed in front of his chest, and his aura rose steadily.
Without the interference of the spirit formation, he did not have any worries when releasing his Essence Qi. Martial Soul, Essence Qi, and body, all three types of power were at their peak. Coupled with the newly refined Dragon King Halberd, his confidence was bursting.
Gao Zhengyang and Charm had not made a move yet, but their aura kept rising and exploding, and even the spirit formation could not suppress it.
Outside the spirit formation, Huo Tianfa, Zhang Yu, and the rest all had solemn expressions. Be it Gao Zhengyang or Charm, the power that they released shocked them.
Charm's power might not be much stronger than Huo Tianfa and the rest, but it was as pure as one, which made many rank nine martial artists pale in comparison.
Gao Zhengyang's power was not as pure as Charm's, but his aura was violent and ferocious, and was actually stronger than Charm's. What was more rare was that his aura was smooth and smooth, without any sluggishness or stiffness. It showed that he had fine control over his power.
The faces of those from the Turtle Xuanzhai became a little ugly. At this moment, the difference between them could be clearly seen.
Apart from Zhang Yu, no one else could fight against Gao Zhengyang head-on.
As for the younger generation, Huo Wuwei, Gui Xuanzang, and the rest did not dare to look at him. Under the guidance of the Divine Will, the more focused one was, the more pressure one would feel.
Among everyone present, Yu Qingwei was probably the only one who hoped that Gao Zhengyang would win.
She squinted her beautiful bright blue eyes slightly to avoid showing too many unnecessary emotions.
Gao Zhengyang had become stronger, but this was enough to give her confidence. To make matters worse, if Gao Zhengyang died, she would also die.
Even if she could catch Gao Zhengyang, he could use the magical connection between their souls to command her.
"It seems that I'm going to die no matter what …"
Just as Yu Qingwei was feeling depressed, a sharp divine light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Almost out of instinct, Yu Qingwei closed her eyes. However, the sharp divine light that flickered through the sky was extremely domineering as it pierced into her Divine Palace, and it left behind a seemingly material mark of light in her sea of consciousness.
The giant turtle, which was connected to Yu Qingwei's soul, suddenly let out a cry, and then its head retreated deep into the turtle shell and did not move anymore.
Yu Qingwei resisted the discomfort and scanned with her Divine Will. She found that Charm had disappeared from the high platform, and only Gao Zhengyang was standing proudly with his halberd.
"Did, did Charm lose?" Yu Qingwei could not accept it. Even if Charm was not a match for him, she should not have been defeated so quickly!
Most of the others had the same reaction. They were all looking forward to the peak battle, but it ended just as it started. What the hell was this!
