"boom--"

Just as everyone was discussing, the magic weapon that Old Ancestor Tiemu had unleashed had already flashed to Xiao Chong's side, colliding with the layers of domain power around Xiao Chong, and emitting a long explosion as it penetrated through the layers.

"Um?"

Xiao Chong's pupils contracted slightly, and at the same time, he reached out with one hand to grab the magic weapon.

He had considered that the magic weapon unleashed by Old Ancestor Tiemu was not simple, but his domain power activation mode was also not simple. The fact that this magic weapon could penetrate so quickly was slightly beyond his expectations.

However, he never intended to block this magic weapon with just his domain power, so he immediately took action.

On his outstretched hand, a black gauntlet gleamed with a dark luster and emanated a powerful aura, revealing its extraordinary nature.

He acquired this magical gauntlet from a fellow half-step super expert when he was in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. He paid a considerable price for it, so naturally, this black gauntlet is no ordinary item.

During his millennia-long seclusion, he even learned a set of fist and claw techniques specifically for this magical gauntlet.

"Bang--"

The next moment, the gauntlet-shaped magical artifact collided with the meteor-like light magical artifact, and the moment they intersected, they once again emitted a powerful energy wave.

The light on the black gauntlets faded, but Xiao Chong's body only flew backward a short distance and was unharmed.

"Such powerful force?" Xiao Chong was slightly surprised as he retreated.

He could sense that if he had been attacked by this magical artifact in the past, even if he wasn't seriously injured, the injuries he would have suffered wouldn't have been light.

Back then, his strength was considerable. He could easily hold his own against three ordinary half-step super experts at the same time.

This demonstrates just how powerful this magical artifact is.

He suddenly realized that just now, the Ironwood Ancestor seemed to have intended to throw this magic weapon at one of the Lianshan or Huayang people, and he was secretly alarmed.

Although Lian Shan and Hua Yang are strong when they join forces, they are still just two people. If one of them is hit by this magic weapon, he or she will likely be in mortal danger. Even if he or she doesn't die, he or she will definitely lose his or her fighting ability.

If he were still at his original strength, and only he, Lianshan, and Huayang were to fight, and one of them were to die or be seriously injured, then he and the remaining one from Lianshan and Huayang would not necessarily be a match for this Old Ancestor Tiemu.

"This Old Ancestor Tiemu actually possesses such a powerful magic weapon. Sure enough, he must have some skill to have made such a name for himself. He shouldn't be underestimated..." Xiao Chong thought to himself.

Thinking this, he looked at the magic weapon. As it clashed with his gauntlet, the magic weapon revealed its true form, which was a small white flying saucer. The attack had failed, and it was being recalled by the Ironwood Ancestor on the other side.

"What?"

Unbeknownst to Xiao Chong, on the other side, Old Ancestor Tie Mu was also slightly surprised to see him block the attack of his magic weapon.

Old Ancestor Tiemu was well aware of the power of his magic weapon. It was terrifyingly powerful when used to deal with ordinary half-step super strongmen, but it was somewhat ineffective against a powerful half-step super strongman like Xiao Chong. He did not expect that a single attack from this magic weapon would kill or suppress Xiao Chong.

However, he never expected that Xiao Chong would block the attack of this magic weapon so easily.

"Could it be because of those boxing gloves?"

The next moment, Old Ancestor Tiemu stared at the black gauntlets on Xiao Chong's hands and muttered to himself.

He didn't believe that Xiao Chong could withstand the attack of that magic weapon with his own strength.

Therefore, this is the only explanation.

From primitive civilizations to level nine civilizations, from technological civilizations to cultivation civilizations, weaponry and equipment have always been extremely important. A good weapon or piece of equipment can even double a person's strength.

Just look at that Bloodthirsty Demon. He was originally just an ordinary half-step super strongman, but after obtaining the Bloodthirsty Sword, he leaped to become someone who could fight against super strongmen. Moreover, his future prospects are also very limitless.

Of course, such a heaven-defying magical weapon as the Bloodthirsty Sword is extremely rare throughout the entire universe.

However, this incident illustrates the importance and power of weapons.

"Could it be that Xiao Chong dares to provoke me like this because he obtained this magic treasure? If so, he is underestimating me, his ancestor!" Ancestor Tie Mu narrowed his eyes and said softly.

call--

As he spoke, he had already darted toward Xiao Chong.

He hadn't intended to achieve victory with his magic weapon attack just now; he was already preparing for the next attack.

Although reality differed somewhat from his expectations, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Boom—Boom—"

Xiao Chong also rushed forward, and the two quickly engaged in close combat.

With each punch and kick, the two fighters displayed dazzling moves that astonished everyone watching.

"Brother Xiao's strength has actually reached such a level?"

"Old Ancestor Tiemu's strength is actually this great?"

"Especially the power of that magic weapon. Fortunately, we didn't use it, otherwise, we might have suffered a great loss if we hadn't been prepared!"

Lian Shan, Hua Yang, Qing Luo, and the other half-step super strong individuals watched this battle with astonishment, exclaiming in surprise.

"We're both at the half-step super realm, yet the difference in strength is so great. I feel that if I were to face Brother Xiao or this Old Ancestor Tie Mu, and didn't run away immediately, I would most likely die at their hands..." Hei Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

His strength is considered decent among ordinary half-step super strong individuals.

But today, he realized what a gap truly meant.

He was far inferior to the top experts among these half-step super strong individuals.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

As he fought Xiao Chong more and more, Old Ancestor Tiemu became increasingly shocked, repeatedly exclaiming in disbelief.

Wasn't Xiao Chong only capable of dealing with three ordinary half-step super strongmen?

How can I confront him head-on after so many fights?

wrong!

Xiao Chong's displayed strength... even surpassed his...

How is that possible!

He possesses such strength only after experiencing many extraordinary encounters and countless hardships!

With the help of his family's formation, he can even fight against ordinary super strong people for a short time. Even without his family's formation, it would not be an easy thing for an ordinary super strong person to kill him!

His strength is extremely rare even among the half-step super strongmen in the entire universe!

This Xiao Chong is completely unknown; how can he be compared to him? In fact, he might even surpass him.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Old Ancestor Tiemu's heart sank deeper and deeper, still unwilling to believe it.

Xiao Chong's strength is so great that with Xiao Chong standing up for Lin Yun, the possibility of him taking Lin Yun away is extremely small.
