As the words fell!

The arena fell into a dead silence.

Under countless gazes, a group of people emerged from the crowd. The newcomers were none other than the disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect. Everyone looked on but did not find Zhao Yue among them.

"Why didn't Zhao Yue come?"

Someone whispered in confusion.

A disciple from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect sneered and said, "Why bother Zhao Yue when dealing with a mere Ye Qingchen? I alone can handle him!"

Some people looked at the speaking disciple in surprise, about to mock him, but suddenly thought of something, and their expressions changed abruptly.

Others also recognized the speaking disciple.

Because.

This disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect was none other than Li Xiu, ranked thirteenth on the talent rankings.

"It's you?"

Hong Man's face sank.

"Yes, it's me!" Li Xiu arrogantly folded his arms, glanced coldly at Hong Man, and said disdainfully, "You, a defeated opponent, aren't even qualified to speak with me. Get lost! This treasure belongs to our Celestial Essence Sword Sect!"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

It seemed these two had previous conflicts, even engaging in a fierce battle, with Hong Man losing to Li Xiu.

Hong Man glanced back at Ye Qingchen, who was still immersed in his cultivation, and didn't intend to leave. He snorted coldly and said, "I'm glad I didn't join the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, otherwise, I might have become as shameless as you! If you want to seize the treasure, let's see if you have the ability!"

Hearing this, a trace of disdain appeared on Li Xiu's face.

A once-defeated opponent dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

Li Xiu looked at Hong Man with a half-smile and sneered, "It seems you've forgotten my techniques! I heard you and Ye Qingchen joined the Taotian Palace, let's see what you've learned there! After I defeat you, I'll deal with Ye Qingchen!"

After saying this, Li Xiu strode forward.

He was larger in stature than Hong Man, each step he took was like that of an ancient tyrannosaurus, leaving a trail of footprints behind him. This scene caused another round of exclamations, and the onlookers gave Hong Man sympathetic looks.

Li Xiu, known as the Great Power Vajra, with innate divine power.

Even before joining a sect, his strength was quite formidable; now, after some time of cultivation in the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, his power had become even more terrifying.

Li Xiu's pace quickened, eventually breaking into a sprint, his footsteps pounding like a giant drum on the earth, sending fragments of stone and dust flying, and in almost an instant, he was in front of Hong Man.

At the same time, he raised his fist, carrying a fierce gust of wind, and punched towards Hong Man.

"Coiling Dragon Fist!"

Li Xiu threw a punch, like a rampant dragon overturning rivers and seas, with unstoppable power.

"Hmph!"

Hong Man snorted coldly, simultaneously clenching his hand into a fist, counterattacking with a punch.

"Simply asking for death, you dare to exchange punches with me?"

Li Xiu, seeing this, smiled disdainfully.

However.

The smile froze instantly, and as the two fists collided, the hidden power within erupted. Li Xiu only felt a terrifying force sweep from his opponent's fist, arriving with a roar in an instant.

"Boom!"

A loud crash.

Under the astonished eyes of the crowd, Li Xiu's body was directly blasted away, knocking over seven or eight cultivators along the way before barely coming to a stop.

"How is this possible?"

Li Xiu's eyes widened.

He felt his right fist trembling slightly as if his bones were about to shatter, shaken by the opponent's massive force.

He couldn't believe that this once-defeated opponent had reached such a level of strength!

"Again!"

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and charged once more.

In an instant, the two were entangled in a melee.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Whether it was Hong Man or Li Xiu.

Both were incredibly physically strong, demonstrating techniques of overwhelming brute force.

Fighting each other like two fierce beasts, each punch and kick carried enormous power, and along their path, countless trees and rocks were shattered to pieces, creating chaos all around.

Numerous cultivators had already retreated outside the valley, fearing being caught in the battle between them.

The disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect watched this scene, their faces turning extremely grim.

They could clearly see that, although both sides were making a lot of noise, most of the attacks came from Hong Man, and Li Xiu was defending. As the saying goes, long defense will eventually lose, and soon the outcome will be clear.

"Grab Jiang Churan and make them hand over the treasure!"

Finally.

A disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect could no longer hold back and shouted, rushing towards Wolf King Valley.

Huala!

A dozen disciples ran swiftly, like tigers sweeping through, a mighty momentum as vast as surging waves.

"Zheng!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Jiang Churan, who had been watching the battlefield, had his eyes glint sharply as his sword's edge brought forth a cold light.

In an instant, a chilling wind swept over.

Several disciples from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect trying to forcefully enter the valley were forced back by this sword!

"Ah!"

The fastest-running disciple screamed and fell to the ground.

Everyone stared with wide eyes.

They saw that the disciple's chest had a several-inch long wound, with bones visibly exposed inside, and the wound was covered with frost.

This was just from a light touch by the sword; if it had been a direct hit, the person would likely have been split in two.

As everyone was astonished by Jiang Churan's sword that drove back the Celestial Essence Sword Sect's group.

They saw.

In mid-air, Hong Man suddenly chopped down with his hand.

"No good!"

Li Xiu's expression changed dramatically.

It was too late to dodge, so he could only raise his arms to take the hit.

"Crack!"

Bone-cracking sounds rang out.

Li Xiu's arms broke in response, and he let out a miserable scream, falling from the air, unable to get up again.

For a moment.

The area in front of the valley fell into a dead silence, and everyone was dumbfounded.

No one expected that even without Ye Qingchen making a move, Hong Man and Jiang Churan alone could defend Wolf King Valley.

"What to do?"

The people from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect looked at each other.

They couldn't win the fight. They were unwilling to leave. They originally thought they could easily snatch the treasure, but they couldn't even enter the valley's entrance.

Li Xiu struggled to get up, stubbornly saying:

"Do you think it's over with this? Zhao Yue hasn't even made a move yet! Also, you may be able to stop us, but I don't believe you can stop everyone!"

Zhao Yue?

In an instant, joy appeared on the faces of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect people.

Yes!

Zhao Yue hadn't made a move yet!

They were just the vanguard, the real strong ones were still behind!

Just then.

A commotion arose from the back of the crowd, and they saw another group emerge at the front of the valley. The newcomer was none other than Heaven-shocking Pointing Zhao Yue, ranked third on the talent rankings!

As Zhao Yue appeared, the whole scene's momentum suddenly tensed, and it felt like everyone was being crushed under a mountain, barely able to breathe.

The crowd hadn't recovered from the shock of Zhao Yue's appearance.

Next.

Another series of people walked in from outside the valley. These individuals were all disciples of the Eight Major Sects, figures on the talent rankings, each with an overwhelmingly potent and strong aura.

"Yang Flame Sect, White Bell, ranked fifth in the talent rankings!"

"Vermilion Bird Sect! Fan Ming, ranked seventh in the talent rankings!"

"True Martial Sect! Yu Hai, ranked sixth in the talent rankings!"

"Sun Sect! Sun Yan, ranked fourth in the talent rankings..."

Each group represented a sect, and every appearance caused a stir of exclamations.

As the crowd hadn't yet recovered from one wave after another of shock.

Two more teams walked in from outside the valley.

One team was led by a young man with a long sword on his back, while the other was headed by a young man in green clothes.

"Supreme Sect! Chen Beixuan! Ranked second in the talent rankings!"

"Xingluo Sect! Lei Qianjue! Ranked first in the talent rankings!"

The Eight Major Sects had all gathered at Wolf King Valley.

At this moment.

The entire area in front of Wolf King Valley fell into dead silence.

Not a crow could be heard.
