The battle between Chen Zong and Li Xiaoyun shocked the world once again.
Li Xiaoyun, who was at the peak of Lv 6 Genuine Martial Realm, was defeated. Chen Zong's cultivation was not at the late stage of Lv 6, but at the peak of Lv 6.
"He hid it so well."
"Even we couldn't see through it."
"I wonder if he's still hiding it."
"Impossible. Chen Zong is indeed talented, but it's already amazing that he reached the peak of Lv 6 Genuine Martial Realm in a few months. He can't hide it anymore."
"The world of geniuses is full of possibilities. Who knows?"
Some were happy, while others were sad.
The Zongheng Sword Sect was naturally overjoyed. Its reputation was boosted by a small level. For a moment, the whole Tianjiang Prefecture was talking about Chen Zong.
On the contrary, the Tianshui Sect's reputation was damaged to a certain extent.
They had asked Li Xiaoyun to challenge Chen Zong in order to use Chen Zong's reputation to boost Li Xiaoyun and the Tianshui Sect's reputation. The premise was that Li Xiaoyun had to defeat Chen Zong, and it would be best if he could defeat Chen Zong in an overwhelming manner. They didn't expect that Li Xiaoyun would be defeated, which boosted the reputation of Chen Zong and the Zongheng Sword Sect.
So far, the only sect that hadn't suffered a direct loss was Ao Mei Villa, but it was also affected.
After all, the limelight had been stolen by the Zongheng Sword Sect and Chen Zong. Countless eyes were focused on Chen Zong. Many people were guessing what Chen Zong would do next.
Would he go into seclusion to break through to Lv 7 Genuine Martial Realm?
Or would he continue to challenge and defeat more opponents?
"After disappearing for a few months, he actually improved so quickly. He's indeed a hidden danger." Long Shaojun had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice, containing an extremely cold killing intent.
He didn't succeed in killing Chen Zong that day, but now he was slowly growing and starting to jump around.
Even though Long Shaojun was already on the frontline, he still felt threatened. It was a threat that came from the depths of his bones. This feeling told him that Chen Zong would definitely become a huge threat. Now, he was slowly becoming a threat.
However, under the protection of the prodigy, he couldn't use any underhanded methods to deal with Chen Zong. Otherwise, if he was found out, even the Tianjiang Prefecture Lord wouldn't be able to protect him.
Of course, he could choose to do it himself, but now that Chen Zong was more important to the Zongjian Sect, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to do so.
Long Shaojun regretted that he was scared by Zuo Shanmei. If he had gone all out, he would have killed Chen Zong. He didn't know that if he had insisted on killing Chen Zong, he would have died.
Not long after, another piece of news came out that Chen Zong had issued another challenge.
This time, it caused a huge uproar. This time, Chen Zong wasn't challenging a prodigy from the third group, but a prodigy from the second group.
"Xu Yangli, we didn't want you to fight at first. After all, it would be considered bullying. But since he's so arrogant, you don't have to worry about anything. Fight with all you've got. If you have the chance, cripple him." An elder from the Zhenyang Sect said to the young man standing in front of him, his small eyes shining with a ruthless light. He looked like a gentleman.
"I'll remember." Xu Yangli replied with a smile. He really looked like a gentleman, but there was a trace of ruthlessness hidden deep in his eyes.
Xu Yangli was in the second group of Tianjiang Prefecture. He wasn't the top, but he wasn't the weakest either. He was in the middle and was quite powerful.
"I think Chen Zong is crazy about fame."
"He didn't go into seclusion to break through first. Instead, he challenged a prodigy from the second group. Did the praise he received recently make him arrogant?"
"He's too full of himself."
Hearing the news, Long Shaojun was also full of smiles.
Chen Zong was so arrogant as to challenge a prodigy from the second group.
It should be known that a prodigy from the third group had a one-star battle prowess, while a prodigy from the second group had a two-star battle prowess. The difference between the two groups was obvious.
Even the Five Great Prodigies had never defeated a prodigy from the second group when they were only at the peak of Lv 6 True Martial Realm.
Although Chen Zong was known to have the potential to become a prodigy and was even touted as a candidate, he wasn't a prodigy after all. His talent couldn't possibly surpass the Five Great Prodigies.
At first, the sect master and elders of the Zhenyang Sword Sect were against Chen Zong's idea of challenging a prodigy from the second group. But when Chen Zong revealed his true cultivation, they all agreed.
The battle between Chen Zong and Xu Yangli was on a nameless hill. It was also where Chen Zong defeated Gu Yaoyang. Choosing this place showed that the Zhenyang Sect was determined to get back at Xu Yangli.
"Do you need me to give you a three-move handicap?" Xu Yangli had a modest smile on his face. His voice was neither fast nor slow, neither high nor low, like a gentle breeze.
"As you wish." Chen Zong's answer made Xu Yangli frown. He was testing Chen Zong and using his own method to find out Chen Zong's background. But Chen Zong's answer made him feel unfathomable.
"Make your move," the elder of the Zhenyang Sect transmitted his voice to Xu Yangli. He couldn't wait to see Chen Zong lose.
Xu Yangli's expression became serious. A glint shot out from the bottom of his eyes like a cold bolt of lightning. Immediately, an extremely hot aura surged out from his body like waves and swept out in all directions.
The aura of the middle stage of Lv 7 True Martial Realm was as hot as a raging fire, burning everything. The air around him was distorted, and the light refracted into a red hue. The ground seemed to be gradually softened by the high temperature. Waves of hot air rolled back and soared into the sky, making rumbling sounds.
To defeat Chen Zong, to defeat Chen Zong in an overwhelming manner, and to cripple Chen Zong in an instant, Xu Yangli burst out with all his strength.
With a boom, Xu Yangli, who was as modest as a gentleman, suddenly transformed into a flaming beast. Deep pits were trampled on the ground, and there were traces of burning.
Swift like a storm and fierce like fire, Xu Yangli's legs seemed to be wrapped in flames. The raging fire was like two flaming dragons coiling around his legs, making waves of dizzying roars and rippling out layers of scorching sound waves.
Heaven Level Ultimate Martial Skill, Flaming Dragon Flood Dragon Leg!
Body and Martial Skill as one, his legs turned into two dragons coiling around each other. With an extremely violent force, he mercilessly attacked Chen Zong with the power to destroy mountains.
The scorching heat made white smoke curl around the flaming dragons.
Powerful!
He was much stronger than Li Xiaoyun.
Before the pair of legs arrived, the violent impact caused the ground around Chen Zong to collapse, drawing out a series of cracks that snaked out like lightning.
"Is this the strength of a genius from the second group?"
"So powerful! Chen Zong can't take it."
"Still not admitting defeat?"
Chen Zong's expression didn't change at all. His hands fell on the hilt of his sword, and with a shake of his wrist, the sword light broke through the air and slashed forward.
Level 27 of the Art of Traversing!
Level 27 of the Sword of Traversing!
The early stage of Lv 7 True Martial Realm!
When Chen Zong revealed his true cultivation, other than the elders of the Unhindered Sword Sect, everyone else was stunned.
"The early stage of Lv 7 True Martial Realm!"
"Is this his true cultivation?"
"He's hiding it too well."
Exclamations continued. Xu Yangli also had a bad feeling, but the arrow had already been nocked. He had no choice but to push his True Force further, and his legs fiercely attacked Chen Zong in an even faster and fiercer way.
The Sword Art of the Sword Sect was extremely powerful. Under the two swords, the sky was torn apart, and the silver light spread out to infinity.
Kill!
Under the sword light, the blazing Flood Dragon was directly cut apart, like a hot knife through butter, the two swords directly slashed onto Xu Yangli's body, the terrifying power unceasingly attacked and cut, breaking apart Xu Yangli's True Power protection, tearing apart his robe, cutting apart his inner armor.
Xu Yangli's entire body was sent flying backwards.
With a loud boom, under the terrifying might of the two swords, Xu Yangli was directly hacked into the mountain, creating a huge crater.
"Xu Yangli." The elder of the Zhenyang Sect was shocked. He flashed and appeared in front of the pit. He grabbed Xu Yangli with both hands and quickly checked him.
Fortunately, he only suffered some internal injuries, which were not serious. He would recover after taking some elixirs for a few days.
But the key point was not the injuries, but the blow.
He had made up his mind to defeat Chen Zong with an overwhelming advantage, and secretly cripple Chen Zong, but in the end, he was defeated by Chen Zong in one move. The huge difference made Xu Yangli's face gloomy and his eyes dull. He seemed to feel that his future was bleak, and he had suffered a great blow like Gu Yaoyang.
The warriors watching the battle were all dumbfounded. They were completely shocked.
How could Chen Zong be so strong?
Why was Chen Zong's cultivation not at the peak of Lv 6 True Martial Realm, but at the early stage of Lv 7 True Martial Realm? This cultivation speed was too shocking.
"Hahahaha." The Third Elder laughed proudly. He directly summoned the Golden Flame Swift Shadow Crane, took Chen Zong, and quickly left, leaving behind an unreachable figure.
"Damn it." The elder of the Zhenyang Sect was furious. The Zhenyang Sect's reputation had been damaged even more.
And the reputation of the Zhenyang Sword Sect would rise again because of this.
"Chen Zong, you should stay in the Sect and cultivate well." On the back of the Golden Flame Swift Shadow Crane, the Third Elder said with a smile. The more he looked at Chen Zong, the more satisfied he was.
"Okay." Chen Zong nodded. Originally, he was wondering if he should continue to challenge. If he did, of course, he would choose the top geniuses of the second-tier camp, and then challenge the geniuses of the first-tier camp.
Step by step, he would definitely push the reputation of the Zhenyang Sword Sect to an amazing height.
But at the same time, it might bring some trouble.
The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. If he performed too well, he might attract some trouble. With the strength of the Zhenyang Sword Sect, he might not be able to protect himself.
"Well, let's stop before going too far." Chen Zong said to himself. When he fought with Xu Yangli, he did not use his full strength. At least, if he used the 29th level of the Zhenyang Sword Technique and the 29th move of the Zhenyang Sword Technique, he could easily tear apart Xu Yangli's inner armor and kill him.
