"Liu Yang?"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao frowned.
I've never heard of this name before!
"Let's go in and see!"
He knew that no matter how much he asked outside, he would not be able to find out as clearly as if he was inside. The next moment, he arrived at the venue of the Ethereal Hall.
Indeed, he saw a young man standing on the stage. Looking around, he asked, "Is there anyone else who wishes to compete with me?"
There was silence all around.
The other party had challenged more than ten matches consecutively, even defeating the number one core disciple of the Seven Star Pavilion. Everyone already knew the other party's strength, and they understood that it was impossible for them to win. Thus, no one dared to continue.
"Let me try!"
Elder Hong Wu raised his eyebrows.
He had just challenged all of the elders and achieved complete victory, so his fighting spirit was still very strong.
"Be careful," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao instructed.
After registering, Elder Hong Wu soon arrived at the dueling ring and looked at his opponent.
He was a young man in his early twenties. However, the Ethereal Hall had disguised his identity, so it was difficult to notice anything amiss.
But under normal circumstances, young people rarely disguised themselves as old people, and old people didn't like to pretend to be young.
Judging from the other party's current appearance, he didn't seem to be twenty years old, so he shouldn't be older than fifty!
"I'm Hongwu from the Seven Star Tower. Do you know me from before?"
Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message over.
"Hongwu?" The young man shook his head. "I don't know him!"
Elder Hong Wu was taken aback.
Even though he was not a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator like Pavilion Master Kui Xiao, he was still one of the most renowned figures in the Seven Star Pavilion. There was no one in Biyuan City who did not know of him.
Yet, the person before him actually said that he did not know him …
Could it be that he wasn't from Biyuan City?
Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't believe him, the young man hesitated for a moment before a conflicted look surfaced on his face. "As long as you are certain that you can lose 2,560 Ethereal Coins to me later on, I'll tell you that I know you!"
After reaching ten consecutive victories in the duels, one's Ethereal Coins would no longer be doubled.
In other words, the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth challengers would only lose 2,560 Ethereal Coins at most.
With fourteen consecutive victories, Zhang Xuan had earned a total of 15353 Ethereal Coins. He was very close to reaching 20,000 Ethereal Coins.
"Do it!"
Elder Hong Wu raised his eyebrows and waved his hand.
Do you know how to chat?
If you know me, then so be it. If you don't know me, then so be it … What? Do I have to beg you to know me?
More importantly, I'm going to lose 2,560 Ethereal Coins … Are you really that certain that I'll lose?
Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to waste his breath on words. In the next moment, he was already right before the other party, and with a flick of his wrist, he thrust his palm forward.
Flowerless Palm!
Celestial energy gathered and spread toward the young man like vines.
Even though his cultivation base had been suppressed to the level of a true immortal, his Flowerless Palm was still able to unleash its full power. Vines filled the sky, and green waves surged. There were no flowers, no sharp edges, and yet, anyone who fell into it would feel as if they were trapped in a nightmare, unable to escape.
Rootless, flowerless, coming from nothingness, leaving from nothingness!
Previously, he had relied on this move to stand out from the many elders!
"Not bad!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
After fighting more than a dozen battles, Zhang Xuan's battle technique could be said to be the strongest among them.
Similarly, he met it with a palm strike.
At the same level, there was no need for the Library of Heaven's Path to decipher it.
Huala!
When the palm strike landed, it was as if flames were burning the vines in the sky. Elder Hong Wu's eyes narrowed, and he tried to retreat. However, he felt as if his body was stuck by a unique force, preventing him from escaping.
Padah!
Elder Hong Wu's head shattered, and his corpse fell to the ground.
"Alright, is there anyone else who wants to compete with me?"
After killing Elder Hong Wu, Zhang Xuan realized that his net worth had increased by 2,560 Ethereal Coins. Heaving a sigh of relief, he began scanning the crowd once more.
He already had 17915 Ethereal Coins. As long as he could defeat one more person, he would be able to gather 20,000 Ethereal Coins!
"Hong Wu has lost … so quickly?"
Beneath the dueling ring, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and the First Elder stared at one another in astonishment.
Elder Hong Wu had challenged all of the elders in the sect, and he had yet to lose a single time. Yet, against this fellow, he had actually been defeated with a single punch.
"Who in the world is that person?"
"He shouldn't be from the Seven Star Pavilion, or else he would have long known about it!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao frowned.
The fact that the other party was able to enter the True Immortal realm Ethereal Hall meant that Ming Zhen's cultivation had to have reached the True Immortal realm. In the Seven Star Pavilion, even the weakest among them would be a core disciple. If Elder Hong Wu was no match for the other party, and the number one core disciple, Meng Han, had been defeated so easily, the Seven Star Pavilion should have long made a name for themselves.
"Liu Yang …"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao could not recall such a name at all.
"I'll give it a try!"
Seeing that no one was stepping forward, the First Elder hesitated for a moment before walking up the dueling ring.
He was already over a hundred years old, and in terms of cultivation, he was far superior to Elder Hong Wu. Since the other party had lost, he wanted to see if he could defeat the young man on the dueling ring.
"Let's begin!"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that someone else was stepping forward.
What he was afraid of the most was that no one would dare to make a move on him.
How was he supposed to gather enough Ethereal Coins then?
As for why he named himself Liu Yang … His favorite names, such as' I Am Low Profile 'and' I Am Very Handsome ', could easily expose his identity. In any case, he had already used the name' Zheng Yang 'before, so he did not mind using the name' Liu Yang '.
As long as it was not Zhao Ya or Wei Ruyan, it would be fine.
It was much easier to use it than to name it.
"Begin!" The First Elder of the Sevenstar Pavilion nodded as he raised his eyebrows and raised his hands.
In an instant, dozens of palm silhouettes appeared in the air, linking together like a chain.
Dragon Transformation Palm!
Legend had it that upon reaching Major Accomplishment, one's palm would be able to morph into a divine dragon that could wreak havoc in the world.
"Not bad. It has been a few years since I last sparred with him, but he has managed to cultivate it to such a level.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao nodded in approval.
Ever since he had achieved a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm, he had rarely sparred with High Immortals like the First Elder. As such, he had no idea what realm the other party had reached.
He could not help but marvel in awe.
The Dragon Transformation Palm was one of the most difficult battle techniques to master in the Seven Star Pavilion. To be able to execute it to such a level, even Pavilion Master Kui Xiao did not have full confidence that he would be able to defeat the other party!
"It's a pity that he's over a hundred years old. Otherwise, Elder Hong Wu wouldn't have been able to defeat him!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao shook his head.
It was impossible for one to reach the Semi-Divinity realm through cultivation, no matter how talented one was.
The only way to do so was through the Azure Bridge and the Hall of Gods!
The reason why he was able to reach his current realm was because he had entered the Hall of Gods a hundred years ago.
Elder Hong Wu's cultivation was not too bad, and he was talented as well. There was no one in the Sevenstar Pavilion who could match him in the same cultivation realm as him, but he was still a distance away from matching up to him back then.
Needless to say, the current First Elder was still lacking!
It was just a pity that the First Elder was already over a hundred years old. No matter how powerful he was, he was still unable to enter the Azure Bridge.
"Of the Six Sects, only the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion is slightly better …"
With such thoughts in mind, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao sighed.
The main goal of the Six Sects was to enter the Hall of Gods and snatch the 'God' character.
The 'Snatch' character didn't just make the sect look more majestic. More importantly, with the 'God' character, one would be able to reach the Semi-Divinity realm!
Sects without 'God' characters could only rely on the Azure Bridge, which opened once every hundred years.
Otherwise, no matter how talented they were, it was impossible for them to reach the Semi-Divinity realm!
The founder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion had once snatched half a 'God' character from the Hall of Gods. As such, if one were to cultivate the Ascendant Cloud Sword God Formula to its limits, they would be able to surpass the High Immortal realm and reach the Semi-Divinity realm!
While the chances were slim, it still represented hope.
On the other hand, the Seven Star Pavilion and the other sects were unable to do so no matter how formidable they were.
As for the Ethereal Hall …
No one knew where the headquarters of the Ethereal Hall was located or what kind of experts there were.
However, one thing was for sure. Since Hall Master Kong was able to snatch a 'God' character back then, there was no doubt that a Semi-Divinity realm expert or even stronger would emerge from the Ethereal Hall!
These thoughts flashed through Zhang Xuan's mind as he raised his head to look at the elevated platform.
After executing the Dragon Transformation Palm, the First Elder's silhouette was as swift as a dragon, vanishing without a trace.
The crowd felt as if they were looking at a huge dragon that was swimming around the stage. All kinds of attacks came from all directions, and it was a feast for the eyes.
"Amazing!"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
As expected, he couldn't underestimate any expert.
After fighting more than a dozen battles in a row, he had thought that the experts of Biyuan City were just so-so, and it was inevitable that he would look down on them. However, from the looks of it, that wasn't the case at all!
Putting everything else aside, just the palm technique of the other party was enough for him to lose if he was the slightest bit careless!
Instead of using the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan activated his Eye of Insight and swiftly saw through the flaws in the other party's movements. With a frown, he used his finger as a sword and stabbed it forward.
In order to prevent the Gods' Sword Intent from leaking, Zhang Xuan didn't use the Gods' Sword Intent.
However, Zhang Xuan had executed the Heaven's Path Sword Art as well. His sword seemed to have come from beyond the heavens, leaving no trace or movement behind. As soon as it appeared, it landed right in front of the Dragon Transformation Palm.
Hu!
The dragon in the air seemed to be attracted by something and quickly moved forward along with the sword qi.
Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.
This was a move that he had come up with when he recalled how Elder Yuan had used the Northern Sea Dragon Orb to toy with the Serpentine Dragon.
Using the sword qi to form the Dragon Orb, the might of the Dragon Transformation Palm was indeed attracted by the other party's attack.
"Go!"
The sword qi trembled.
Hu!
It flew toward the edge of the dueling ring, and Zhang Xuan followed closely behind it.
Boom!
A resounding explosion reverberated in the air, causing the entire dueling ring to tremble.
The First Elder had not expected his palm strike to be drawn away by the other party's weak sword qi. While he was still in shock, he suddenly felt a searing pain in his throat.
He quickly lowered his head, only to see that the sword qi from the other party's finger had already pierced through his throat.
"What a formidable attack! What a swift sword!"
Gurgling sounds echoed from the First Elder's throat as his eyes widened in disbelief. Following which, the corpse of the First Elder collapsed to the ground.
Even at the moment of his death, he could not believe that his formidable move had been neutralized so easily by a mere sword qi from the other party.
"This …"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao's body stiffened. The overwhelming shock he felt left him speechless.
To neutralize the Dragon Transformation Palm and kill the First Elder in a single move …
Just who in the world was that young man?
Given his cultivation … would I be able to defeat him if I were to face him?
