"So, this is Saint 8-dan!"
Looking at how the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was able to deal with the five experts with ease, Luo Xuanqing could not help but feel envious.
A Saint 8-dan expert who had comprehended the Laws of Dimension Sundering was able to wield their Dominion as if it was their own world. This was not a battle that could be won through sheer numbers alone.
Zhang Chun and the others were all top experts of the Inner Sanctum, but they were still far from matching up to the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast!
"It's indeed formidable!"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but remark.
He had thought that the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast had used its full strength against him, but from the looks of it now, it might not have even brought out a tenth of its true strength.
Otherwise, he would have been smashed into meat paste before he could even bring out Vicious' Finger.
"If I had such strength, it would be much easier for me to propose marriage to the Luo Clan …"
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes.
Even though a Saint 8-dan cultivation was nothing much in the eyes of a Sage Clan like the Luo Clan, it was still an existence that stood at the top of the Master Teacher Continent. On top of that, he was only twenty years old.
Boom boom boom!
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast continued its assault, and just like Zhang Chun, the four experts who had joined the fray ended up hanging from the cliff face like sausages.
"Brat, how dare you fight us with your tamed beast? Do you dare to fight me one-on-one? "
Knowing that he would not be able to escape death at this rate, Zhang Chun clenched his jaws so tightly that blood trickled down his cheeks.
"One-on-one? You are a Saint 7-dan pinnacle expert, and you want to challenge a Saint 5-dan cultivator like me one-on-one? "Zhang Xuan sneered coldly.
Even though he possessed the strength to challenge opponents stronger than him, he was still a far cry from matching up to a Saint 7-dan pinnacle cultivator.
Since he was not a match for the other party, why should he challenge him one-on-one?
Was he looking for trouble?
"I'll suppress my cultivation to fight you!" Zhang Chun said.
Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows. "I'm not free!"
As beast tamers, tamed beasts were also a part of their fighting prowess. Since he was able to pummel them without even making a move, there was no need for him to do it himself.
Zhang Chun was so furious that he could explode at any moment.
As the top genius of the Zhang clan, his life had always been smooth sailing. when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"You don't dare?"
His fists were clenched so tightly that his bones were about to break, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was simply too powerful. It was impossible for him to defeat it. Even if he were to use the power of his bloodline, the most he could do was to escape. However, the power of his bloodline was not something that he dared to use recklessly.
Therefore, the only way to solve the current predicament was to defeat this fellow!
As long as he could lure the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast into submission, not only would he be able to exact vengeance for the humiliation he had suffered, he would also be able to force the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast to obey his commands and teach Luo Xuanqing a lesson.
Otherwise, if the other party were to spread the news that he had suffered such a huge loss, how could he still have the face to remain in the Sanctum of Sages?
"Yeah, I wouldn't dare!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"…"
Zhang Chun's body swayed weakly.
Other cultivators, especially those so young, would definitely rush over when they heard such words. However, this guy had an indifferent look on his face, as if he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, as if he didn't dare to be arrogant …
Why was he so thick-skinned?
"What did Luo Xuanqing give you? I will give you the same price as long as you compete with me! "
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Chun replied.
Since Luo Xuanqing was the one who had invited the other party, it was likely that he had given the other party some compensation. He did not expect the other party to betray him.
As long as he did not force the Netherworld Azure Dragon to make a move, teaching a Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle cultivator a lesson should be a walk in the park for him.
"He gave me … five pinnacle spirit stones! If you can take them out, not only will I have a duel with you, I will even have all of you come at me together! "
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing the other party's offer.
"…" Zhang Chun was rendered speechless.
It was just a moment ago that the other party said that he didn't dare to accept the other party's offer, but as soon as he said that he would have to pay the other party's price, he even asked the other party to come at him together … Could he not be so greedy?
"Fine, I'll give you five pinnacle spirit stones. However, I don't have them on me at the moment. As long as you agree to have a duel with me, regardless of the outcome, I'll request for them from the clan once we return to the Sanctum of Sages!"
Even though Zhang Chun was on the verge of exploding, he still insisted.
"This …"
Hearing that the other party didn't have any pinnacle spirit stones, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about this, why don't you write a contract first? You owe me five pinnacle spirit stones, and I'll have a duel with you?"
"Very well!"
Fearing that Zhang Xuan would go back on his words, Zhang Chun took out a piece of paper, bit his finger, and quickly wrote a line of words on it. "This is written using my blood, and it harnesses the power of my bloodline. It's impossible to forge!"
Zhang Xuan took the piece of paper and took a look at it. After confirming that the other party wasn't playing any tricks, he nodded in satisfaction before turning to the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast in the sky and said, "Release them!"
"Yes!"
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast replied as it released the Dimension Sundering Energy that was trapping the other party.
Hu hu hu hu hu!
The five of them staggered for a moment before finally stabilizing themselves in midair.
"Here!"
Zhang Chun took out a bottle of pills and poured out five of them. He fed one to the others and one to himself, and only then did he feel much better.
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was simply too powerful. Even with the five of them working together, they were still far from being a match for it.
"Let's suppress our cultivation!"
After allowing them to adjust themselves for a moment, Zhang Xuan said calmly.
"Alright!"
With a jolt, Zhang Chun's aura swiftly plummeted from Saint 7-dan pinnacle to Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle, just like Zhang Xuan.
Even though he had suppressed his cultivation, his spirit was much stronger than before, and his injuries seemed to have been alleviated in an instant.
"Since this is a duel, I hope that we can abide by the master teacher pact. I won't release my cultivation, and you mustn't have the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast make a move on me!"
Zhang Chun harrumphed as he walked up to a spot not too far away from Zhang Xuan.
"Of course!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
"That's good!"
A cold glint flashed across Zhang Chun's eyes as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.
The one he feared the most at the moment was the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast. As long as the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast didn't make a move on him, he should be able to crush a mere Leaving Aperture realm cultivator with ease.
As for how he was able to tame the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, it was likely that he had used some kind of special means. There were many ways a formidable beast tamer could rely on, and they didn't just rely on their strength.
He didn't believe that the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast would be able to pummel the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast.
"Begin!"
Zhang Chun raised his palm and prepared to make a move.
"Wait!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"What? Are you going back on your word? "
"You're thinking too much. Let the four of them suppress their cultivation and come at me together. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be beaten up even more miserably!"
Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Xuan sympathetically before shaking his head.
It wasn't that he was looking down on Zhang Xuan, but he definitely wasn't a match for him in the same cultivation realm.
He had already made the other party write an IOU. It wouldn't be good to beat him to the point where he had nothing left to live for. After all, he was a man of principle. It wouldn't be good to bully him too harshly.
"Zhang Shi … Not only is Zhang Chun improving swiftly, he's practically invincible among his peers as well!"
Luo Xuanqing could not help but ask.
To be able to fight with him until now, it was obvious how strong the other party was.
He was a little worried when he agreed to fight one on one, but to fight all five of them at once …
Wasn't he a little too arrogant?
"It's alright!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
He had just reinforced his cultivation, and he hadn't had a chance to spar with the other party. Since the other party was charging at him, he might as well give it a try!
"But …"
Frowning, Luo Xuanqing was just about to advise against it when Yuan Xiao suddenly stepped forward and said, "I believe that Zhang Shi knows what he's doing, so there's no need for you to worry!"
"Given how Zhang Chun was able to scare away a lightning tribulation, I don't think he'll be a match for someone of the same cultivation realm!"
Seeing that Luo Xuanqing was still a little worried, Yuan Xiao added.
"You're right!"
Coming to a realization, Luo Xuanqing nodded in agreement. However, he still reminded the crowd, "The reason why Zhang Chun proposed a one-on-one battle is probably to capture Zhang Shi. If you feel that something is amiss later on, make a move to save him!"
"Un!"
Knowing that the young man before them had fought with Zhang Chun for many years, they knew the latter's personality very well. Thus, they nodded in agreement.
"You said it yourself. I hope that you won't go back on your words!"
Even though Zhang Chun was on the verge of exploding with rage, he knew that this was an opportunity. Thus, he beckoned the crowd over and sent a telepathic message over. "I'll be in charge of attacking later on. I'll subdue that fellow as quickly as possible. As for the rest of you, you'll be guarding against Luo Xuanqing and the others, as well as the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast. As long as you can hold them off for a single breath, I guarantee that that fellow won't dare utter a single word anymore! "
Hearing those words, the other four nodded in agreement.
After being pummeled by a tamed beast, they felt a little stifled.
Hula!
After the discussion was over, the four of them suppressed their cultivation and landed on the ground, surrounding Zhang Xuan.
"Let's begin!"
With a loud bellow, the five of them made a move simultaneously.
Even though they had suppressed their cultivation, they were still Saint 7-dan experts, not to mention, geniuses among geniuses. As soon as they made their move, their zhenqi instantly filled the entire valley. In an instant, sword qi, saber qi, and sword qi rained down on Zhang Xuan, leaving him no room to dodge at all.
"How powerful …"
Luo Xuanqing and the others narrowed their eyes in astonishment.
In order to deal with the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, the five of them had set up a grade-8 formation in advance. Even though their cultivation had been suppressed to Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle, the level of the formation hadn't changed at all. Even a Saint 7-dan primary stage expert could be slain with ease!
"Will Zhang Shi be fine?"
Luo Xuanqing wasn't the only one who was worried.
Putting aside Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle, even a Saint 6-dan pinnacle cultivator wouldn't be able to escape from their combined might!
Just as everyone was driving their zhenqi, ready to make a move to save Zhang Xuan, a calm voice suddenly sounded amidst the zhenqi in the air.
"Is this the strength of your combined might?"
The voice was tinged with doubt and disappointment. "What the heck is this?"
Peng peng peng peng peng!
Five crisp sounds echoed in the air. Following which, the sword qi and saber qi vanished, and the five experts were sent flying like footballs. They were embedded into the cliff face once more, and fresh blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. Despair filled their eyes, and their heads tilted to one side before they fainted.
"This …"
Luo Xuanqing and the others widened their eyes in shock as they hurriedly turned their gazes in the direction of the voice, only to see Zhang Xuan clapping his hands as he walked over to them with a desolate look on his face.
