Lu Changsheng hovered in mid-air, his gaze severe, terrifyingly potent True Qi swirling and rolling.

Ye Qingchen stared straight into the void, battle intent raging, a surge of Sword Intent frantically flowing from him.

Ye Qingchen and Lu Changsheng, one on the ground, the other in the sky, locked eyes simultaneously, with killing intent surging simultaneously.

"Blocked it!"

"Ye Qingchen actually blocked the strike from Lu Changsheng, ranked second on the Bronze Ranking!"

"During their clash just now, they completely shattered the arena! What a terrifying power!"

All around, the spectators looked at the arena reduced to ruins, then at Ye Qingchen standing amidst the debris, unable to suppress their exclamations.

It must be known.

He is ranked second on the Bronze Ranking!

Even Gu Shentong, a formidable existence, would barely win against him!

Yet just now, Ye Qingchen's confrontation with him did not suffer the slightest disadvantage.

How could this not leave everyone shocked and stunned?

"Ye Qingchen! You actually managed to block my move!"

In the sky, Lu Changsheng squinted, icy glints flashing in his eyes.

Initially.

He believed that one move would be enough to blast Ye Qingchen off the arena, or even annihilate him! Yet, unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen blocked his move!

For a moment, his anger surged, his immense presence rising like a tide.

Even.

This aura sent many of the watching disciples into a heart-pounding state!

"Lu Changsheng! Is everyone from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect so despicable and shameless? Either gang attacks or sneak attacks? You, ranked second on the Bronze Ranking, are nothing special!"

Ye Qingchen was equally unyielding.

Buzz~

And at the same time.

As if sensing his boundless battle intent, the Silver Dragon Sword in its scabbard resonated loudly, a proud Sword Qi crazily amassing.

"Ye Qingchen, you successfully angered me!"

Upon hearing Ye Qingchen's words, Lu Changsheng grew increasingly embarrassed and enraged.

"That previous strike, I didn't even use a tenth of my strength. Do you really think having blocked that one attack means you can contend against me?"

Looking at Ye Qingchen.

Lu Changsheng's heart surged with murderous intent.

Initially.

He just wanted to teach Ye Qingchen a lesson, to show him his might and make him understand his tactics!

But the other's words sparked sudden murderous intent in him, making him desperate to kill Ye Qingchen with one strike!

"Is that so?"

Ye Qingchen looked up at Lu Changsheng in the sky, utterly fearless.

"Don't talk about just a tenth, even if you exerted your full strength, so what? Do you really think I would be afraid of you?"

Lu Changsheng didn't go all out, nor did Ye Qingchen.

Never mind not unlocking the Profound Celestial Lock.

Up until now, he hadn't even used his Sword Intent, nor unleashed the Silver Dragon Sword!

He had absolute confidence in facing Lu Changsheng without losing!

Boom!

Ye Qingchen and Lu Changsheng stood steadfast.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded, something unexpected.

It must be known.

Among those present, many had higher cultivation than Ye Qingchen, yet lacked the courage to speak like that to Lu Changsheng.

What they didn't dare do, Ye Qingchen did!

Buzz~

Ye Qingchen's battle intent burned to the extreme, even when the Silver Dragon Sword's Sword Qi was nearly reaching its peak, permeating the air with gunpowder smell, just when everyone believed the two would engage again, until their death...

"Stop!"

At this moment.

Kong Shun finally stood up.

He directly faced the Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader, coldly stating:

"You from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect should also know when enough is enough, not overstep! This Bronze Ranking contest is not exclusively yours! Don't do things that will make you the world's laughingstock!"

"Exactly!"

Qin Wentian also rose, speaking coldly:

"Do you really think there's no one in Taotian Palace? Daring to openly play such tricks! If Ye Qingchen loses a single hair, believe it or not, I'll slaughter your Celestial Essence Sword Sect!"

"How amusing... such a grand Celestial Essence Sword Sect, yet for contesting the Bronze Ranking, you attack in groups. Even if you win, aren't you afraid of ridicule?"

Zhou Yuntian also shook his head repeatedly.

"Damn it!"

The Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader glanced at Kong Shun, then at Qin Wentian and Zhou Yuntian, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, finally uttering a long sigh.

Today's matters were unjustified for the Celestial Essence Sword Sect from the start.

He knew.

With these three speaking, today's conflict could no longer continue!

Otherwise, it would undoubtedly incite public outrage!

"Fine!"

"Today, I will give face to you three! Let Ye Qingchen go!"

"Lu Changsheng, come back!"

The Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader proclaimed loudly.

Boom!

With this sound.

The killing intent surrounding Lu Changsheng quietly dissipated. He naturally knew he couldn't act against Ye Qingchen anymore. With a deep look at Ye Qingchen, Lu Changsheng then turned and swept back to the bronze chair!

His voice stealthily followed.

"Ye Qingchen, you're lucky today! Next time, you'd better not fall into my hands! Otherwise, I'll show you my might!"

"Lucky?"

Ye Qingchen also turned and left. Listening to this, he sneered in disdain.

Really wondering who's the lucky one!

"I'll be waiting!"

Finished speaking.

He directly placed his hands behind his back, leisurely walking off the arena.

Where Ye Qingchen passed, the crowd automatically parted, watching him with awe-filled eyes.

He sat back down on the seventy-second bronze chair as before.

Silence!

The surroundings fell into dead silence.

Everyone watched the young man.

Before this.

No one thought he had the qualification to sit there, let alone stabilizing the Bronze Ranking.

But now.

No one would doubt his strength or question his qualification anymore!

Effortlessly defeating many disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, and firmly taking Lu Changsheng's strike without backing down. This strength was beyond everyone's imagination!

Han Yun and others were dumbstruck, faces full of shock.

An Mengxiang covered her mouth abruptly, her eyes shining evermore brightly.

Jiang Churan, Hong Man, and Ye Qing were full of unstoppable excitement.

Kong Shun and Zhou Yuntian were also overjoyed. One was Ye Qingchen's Alchemy Master, the other had brought Ye Qingchen from Cyan Cloud City, and now witnessing Ye Qingchen rise to unattainable heights felt naturally proud!

"Haha, securely on the Bronze Ranking!"

Qin Wentian took a hearty swig of wine, looking at the young man.

He really did it!
