After listening to Uncle Gu's words, Gu Yifeng felt that he had no choice but to get involved. He was too lazy to care about the Nangong family's internal affairs, but Zhu Ying was clearly trying to seize the position of city lord by underhanded means.
Even if such a person becomes the city lord, he will only intensify his attacks on the Nangong family and use his power to oppress others.
"Uncle Gu, do you believe me? Nangong Wan only needs to choose people she can deal with. I'll fight Zhu Ying."
Gu Yifeng spoke slowly, then looked intently at Uncle Gu.
"this……"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's words, Uncle Gu immediately hesitated. After all, his current realm was only at the early stage of the Condensation Realm, and dealing with a half-step Taixu Realm cultivator seemed truly unbelievable.
How about this?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng felt a surge of energy within him, and his eyes instantly transformed into vertical pupils. Although he was still at the early stage of the Condensation Realm, even Uncle Gu was shocked by this aura.
It is precisely because of the dragon transformation that the dragon's might can be released slightly to achieve such an aura.
After sensing this chilling aura, Uncle Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of reassurance appeared in his eyes.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, young master."
Uncle Gu said something upon hearing this, and then turned and left.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the central square of Taishan City, a fighting arena was set up early, and a group of people gathered below the arena to watch. Zhu Ying and her two companions waited on the arena, looking arrogant.
About an incense stick later, Nangong Wan arrived at the arena with Gu Yifeng and another disciple of the Nangong family.
"Hey, you're here pretty early. Have you figured out how you're going to fight us?"
Behind Zhu Ying, Li Xu, who ranked forty-ninth on the Wan Ying List, sneered.
"That's right. Look at your two helpers behind you, one of whom is at the early stage of the Condensation Realm. It seems that your Nangong family really has no one left, hahaha."
Another person also burst into laughter. This person was ranked forty-second on the Wan Ying List, and his name was Yu Feng.
"Since that's the case, let's begin. We'll find out if there's no one here after we start playing."
Nangong Wan also looked indignant upon hearing this, snorted coldly, and led the other two onto the stage.
After both sides confirmed their agreement, the first match began, with a disciple of the Nangong family facing off against Li Xu. The outcome of the match was almost without suspense, and Li Xu crushed his opponent in just two rounds.
Although ranked forty-ninth, Li Xu's combat strength is at least at the peak of the Condensation Realm, let alone an ordinary Condensation Realm disciple of the Nangong family.
Although Nangong Wan hadn't expected to win, being crushed in just two rounds was quite humiliating.
For this second round, only she can participate.
"Miss Nangong, be careful."
Yu Feng sneered and took the initiative to attack. A heavy sword appeared, and he leaped high into the air, bringing the sword down directly towards Nangong Wan with a terrifying flash of blood.
Faced with the attack, Nangong Wan's expression turned solemn. She clasped her hands together, and an icy shield instantly enveloped her entire body. Then, she clashed with Yu Feng's sword.
Sword light exploded, and Yu Feng launched another attack. His heavy sword suddenly rose from the ground, and a huge sword light slashed out. This was just the beginning. He swung his greatsword like the wind, and dozens of huge sword lights were unleashed, like ocean waves.
"Ice Condensation! Cold Star!"
Nangong Wan gave a soft shout, and a cold wind suddenly swept around her. The snowflakes that had formed when her protective shield shattered earlier now transformed into sharp blades, slashing towards Yu Feng.
Dozens of sword lights froze instantly, then shattered, transforming into starlight that shot out. The pressure of the late-stage Condensation Realm cultivator spread out with all its might, knocking Yu Feng off the stage in an instant.
This is Nangong Wan's trump card!
Her cultivation had already broken through to the late stage of the Condensation Realm. It seemed that she was originally preparing to enter the Wan Ying Ranking, but today she was forced out by Zhu Ying.
In just three rounds, he defeated Yu Feng. Such strength is something that very few people in the Concentration Realm can achieve.
Next up was the third match. Zhu Ying remained calm. He didn't take Nangong Wan or Gu Yifeng seriously. The peak of the Condensation Realm was almost insignificant in the eyes of cultivators who had already stepped into the Taixu Realm.
"Two consecutive battles have been crushing victories, so I'm not going to hold back anymore. I hope you can last a little longer."
Gu Yifeng was the first to speak with sarcasm, his heart already eager to try. Since obtaining the Azure Dragon Holy Armor, he had only faced the illusory image of the Azure Dragon, making it impossible to accurately estimate its combat strength.
Only by truly fighting against the geniuses on the Wan Ying Ranking of the Qun Guang Continent can one realize the power of the Tai Xu Realm.
"I hope your cultivation is as honest as your words."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying spoke coldly. After slowly stepping onto the stage, he did not act immediately. Spiritual energy emanated from his dantian, and a pale blue light flashed. His black hair instantly turned ice blue.
Almost simultaneously, Zhu Ying's aura also surged, and she actually broke through to the Tai Xu realm.
"It's the Taiyin Sacred Body! This is the Ice Spirit Technique that only the Taiyin Sacred Body can use!"
An audience member exclaimed in surprise, immediately pointing out Zhu Ying's change at that moment.
"It's just pretending, I can do that too!"
Gu Yifeng curled his lip in disdain, a layer of green light flashed on his body, and a dragon's roar resounded all around. His eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his hands transformed into sharp dragon claws.
This was the dragon form after fully releasing the Azure Dragon bloodline, but it wasn't over yet. His right arm tattoo lit up, and his cultivation level also surged at this moment, instantly breaking through to the early stage of the Tai Xu Realm.
Then, two streams of pure energy from his dantian transformed into a phantom of a blue dragon and roared out, also transforming into the true form of the main body.
There were three early-stage Void Realm experts present, and their terrifying pressure almost made the audience below the stage want to kneel down on the spot. Those with slightly weaker strength were even more likely to prostrate themselves under such overwhelming pressure.
"Shingu Tsukikage, suppress!"
Despite the overwhelming aura, Zhu Ying remained calm and showed no panic. He immediately pointed a finger, and a phantom of the moon instantly appeared behind him, with a huge, cold palace on it, directly suppressing Gu Yifeng.
"A grand funeral for the tree waterfall!"
Gu Yifeng was not to be outdone. He clasped his hands together, unleashed his spiritual power, and his three avatars attacked simultaneously. Countless tree branches burst forth from the ground, growing wildly and transforming into an ocean that instantly collided with the Moon Palace.
He could only hold on for less than a breath before the Moon Palace shattered, and the remaining sea of trees continued to roar toward Zhu Ying, at which point his expression changed.
"A move from the Tai Xu Realm? Impossible!"
Zhu Ying looked slightly crazed. He had thought that Gu Yifeng had only broken through with brute force and did not understand the essence of the Taixu Realm at all. Now it seemed that he had been blind.
Thinking of the Zhu family's scheme, he suppressed his fear and his hands moved rapidly, instantly creating streaks of cold air that transformed into soldiers, shining in the moonlight, and charging towards the sea of trees.
Unfortunately, Gu Yifeng didn't even change his moves. He simply unleashed all his spiritual power, and the sea of trees surged forward, quickly swallowing up all the attacks. Then, he arrived in front of Zhu Ying, and in just a moment, Zhu Ying was sent flying backward.
