Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Peak Master Snatches a Disciple! A Fight Breaks Out! A Fight Breaks Out!
Wang Zheng's body was quickly carried away, leaving only a pool of dark red bloodstains on the bluestone ground.
The elder referee's voice still echoed in the square, unable to drown out the surging cheers from below.
Fang Li leaned on her knees, panting, the warmth of the pill barely suppressing her churning blood and qi.
"Silence!" The elder of the Enforcement Hall's authoritative voice drowned out the commotion. Behind him, two disciples escorted the pale-faced Su Wanqing forward: "Disciple Su Wanqing, for cheating in the lottery and harming a fellow disciple, the evidence is conclusive! She is to be punished with thirty lashes of the Thunder Whip and three years of confinement at the Cliff of Repentance! Execute immediately!"
The law enforcement disciples dragged the limp Su Wanqing away.
The square fell silent for a moment, then murmurs broke out.
"Serves you right!"
"That's ruthless, thirty lashes with the lightning whip..."
Fang Li had just swallowed the pill and hadn't even realized how Su Wanqing had been dealt with...
Sect Master Meng Tianzheng's voice rang out: "Fang Li's battle..." But he had only just begun and hadn't finished speaking.
A loud shout, like a thunderclap, boomed: "This woman remains calm in the face of danger! Her insight is keen! The sword spirit is beginning to take shape!"
Ling Xiaozi stood up abruptly, his wide Taoist robe fluttering without wind, and a faint, sharp sword aura emanating from his body.
His gaze was like lightning, fixed on Fang Li, who had just caught her breath below the stage. He waved his hand and said, "You are destined to join my Cold Nether Peak and inherit the supreme sword path! Fang Li, if you are willing to switch to the sword path, I will immediately bestow upon you the 'Surprising Sword Manual'!"
He turned his gaze to Shen Yunzhou, who was stunned below the stage: "Shen Yunzhou! What are you still standing there for? Come and take your junior sister back to the peak!" His shout was fast and urgent, directly interrupting the sect leader's words, and he also pushed Shen Yunzhou, who had just walked back to the edge of the platform and looked a little confused, out of the way.
Shen Yunzhou: "..." He moved slightly, about to take a step.
"Bullshit!" Master Qingxuan roared in anger, his dignified and otherworldly image completely gone. In a flash, he appeared directly at the edge of the arena, pointing at Ling Xiaozi below: "Ling Xiaozi, you're spouting nonsense! Talking rubbish! What sword heart prototype! He's clearly a Daoist body born with a natural affinity for the Great Dao runes and the origin of all laws! He's a once-in-a-millennium genius in the art of talismans!" After saying that, he suddenly turned to his disciples and roared: "Xie Chen! Xie Chen! What are you all standing there for! Set up the formation! Today, no one will be allowed to snatch my disciple away from under my nose!"
Xie Chen smiled wryly, but still waved his hand as instructed. Streams of light flew out, setting up layers of defensive light screens around the arena, temporarily separating the peak masters.
He gave an apologetic smile to the crowd outside the light screen, but his actions were decisive.
Master Qingxuan then turned around, immediately grabbed the light screen, and frantically tried to persuade Fang Li inside: "My good disciple, don't listen to their nonsense! Join my Yixing Peak! Top-grade talisman brushes, talisman manuals, and the 'Cloudy Cave Heaven' with the most abundant spiritual energy! You can choose any of them! I will personally tailor a cultivation plan for you! I guarantee that within a hundred years... no! Within fifty years, you will be famous throughout the cultivation world!"
"You old ghost Qingxuan! Stop trying to fool this little girl with empty promises!" Granny Yao interrupted, hands on her hips. "You think your talismans can feed you? Can they save lives? Listen to Granny Yao! Alchemy is the foundation of cultivation! With your special spiritual power, alchemy will surely be incredibly effective! I can even pass on my treasured 'Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill' formula to you! From now on, you can eat top-grade pills like candy!"
Huo Duan's loud voice immediately boomed, "Bullshit! Even the best pills are just consumables! This little girl is agile and quick-witted; she's clearly a good candidate for weapon crafting! Come to my Lianyu Peak, and I'll personally forge you a set of top-grade spirit armor and spirit weapons tailor-made to your needs! I guarantee you'll be invincible in any fight! You can stand here and let someone like Wang Zheng hit you without breaking your defenses!"
"Roar—!" With a deep roar, the Elder of Ten Thousand Beasts changed his mount at some point, riding a giant, striped python as thick as a water bucket to Qingxuan Zhenren's side: "Shut up with all that chattering! What's the point of fighting, killing, refining weapons, and making pills? Little girl, come with me and ride ten thousand beasts, roaming freely between heaven and earth, that's the right path!" With a wave of his hand, a majestic, bright-eyed phantom of a small white tiger leaped out with a roar, circling in Fang Li's direction through the light barrier.
"You may choose any of my divine beast cubs! How about this little white tiger?"
"Shut up, all of you!!!"
A roar like a thunderclap shook the entire square! A giant, as tall as an iron tower, forcefully pushed aside the giant python blocking his way and strode into the arena.
He was over nine feet tall, with bulging muscles and a bronze complexion that gleamed with an oily sheen; standing there, he resembled a moving city wall.
Hong Lie, the peak master of Tianyuan Peak, pointed his fan-sized hand at Fang Li, who was still in a daze. His voice boomed, and his spittle almost landed on Qingxuan Zhenren's face: "This little girl! She took several deadly blows from that bastard Wang Zheng, and not many of her bones are broken! She can still get up and beat him down! This physique! This ruthlessness! She was born to be a member of my Tianyuan Peak! Come and practice your fist techniques with me! I guarantee you'll be able to take down Wang Zheng with one punch every time!" As he roared, he demonstratively swung his fist, which was as big as a sand pot, creating a whooshing sound.
Before Hong Lie could finish speaking, another figure crashed down beside him like a cannonball! Dust flew everywhere!
"Junior Sister!!" Ji Qianqiu's eyes lit up, his hair almost stood on end, and his face flushed with excitement. He shouted directly at Fang Li, "Train with my master! I guarantee you'll be as resilient and powerful as me! We'll spar every day from now on! I promise you'll improve rapidly!" He clenched his fists excitedly, eager to try.
Upon hearing this, Hong Lie slapped Ji Qianqiu heavily on the shoulder, causing the latter to stumble. He then laughed heartily with satisfaction: "Good lad! Well said! You truly deserve to be my disciple, Hong Lie's disciple!"
The six peak masters are all unwilling to submit to each other!
"Ling Xiaozi! Do you want to fight?" Huo Duan's body erupted in flames!
"Afraid of you?"
With a hiss, Lingxiaozi unleashed a burst of sword energy, a cold glint tentatively slashing towards the light barrier set up by Qingxuan Zhenren.
With a flick of her sleeve, Granny Yao released a cloud of colorless and odorless Spirit-Corroding Powder.
With a roar, Huo Duan grabbed at the void, and a huge hammer shadow burning with illusory flames appeared out of thin air, smashing down towards Qing Xuan's head!
The giant python beneath the Elder of Ten Thousand Beasts raised its head and hissed, the sound waves visible to the naked eye.
Master Qingxuan's hair and beard stood on end, and countless illusory talismans surrounded and danced around him. The talisman plate shone brightly, and the runes flowed and countered.
Hong Lie went even further, throwing a punch straight into the air! The force of his physical body compressed the air, creating a piercing sonic boom!
Ji Qianqiu followed suit, excitedly yelling along with his master, his blood surging, and he also swung his fist fiercely towards the light screen!
Sword energy surged! The fragrance of herbs filled the air! Heat waves rolled! Beast roars shook the heavens! Rune light flashed! Blood and energy surged like dragons! Violent spiritual power raged wildly in the center of the square, stirring up dust and gravel everywhere.
The terrifying pressure made the disciples who were nearby turn pale and retreat repeatedly, while those with lower cultivation levels collapsed to the ground!
A massive battle between Nascent Soul level cultivators was about to turn the entire plaza into ruins!
"Help! Is this a live broadcast of the 'If You Are the One' reality show's cultivation-themed disciple-grabbing version? Masters, your personas have all collapsed!" Fang Li internally screamed.
"Lengyou Peak has a moving iceberg, Lingshu Peak I'm afraid it'll blow up the furnace, Lianyu Peak has too much heat and it'll be too hot, Huanling Peak... I heard the smell is a bit pungent... Tianyuan Peak... I'm not a masochist! Master Qingxuan on Yixing Peak looks the most normal, he should be considered a tech geek, system, hurry up! Help me choose F—stay away from all male instructor options!"
Buzz—!
A vast, oppressive force descended without warning!
Ye Weiyang's figure appeared silently on the high platform, dressed in snow-white clothes with black hair, possessing unparalleled beauty, and exuding a faint and ethereal aura.
Wherever he walked, clouds and rosy hues arose, but a wisp of solitude, like frost, clung to his brow, looking down upon all living beings.
"Noisy".
The two words were like ice falling to the ground.
