Xun Hualiu grinned and said, “Pang Long, you asked for a fight to the death before. Why did you change it to be only a challenge now?”

Pang Long did not want to show a white feather in front of Xun Hualiu, so he gave him a ferocious stare. “Let’s have a fight to the death. Do you think that I’m afraid of you?”

“Sorry. I have no time.”

Zhang Ruochen was too busy to deal with him. He could not wait to return to Zixia Sacred Mountain to figure out the three Sword Comprehensions in his Qi Sea. He moved one step to the right, displayed a bodily movement, and went outside the Supreme Pure Palace.

Pang Long felt so embarrassed. “If I let Lin Yue go, the Yin and Yang Sect disciples will look at him with quite different eyes.

“Will they think that Lin Yue left due to fear?

“Definitely not.

“They will think that Lin Yue doesn’t take me seriously.”

“I’m afraid that it’s not that easy for you to leave.”

Pang Long shouted loudly and his meridians protruded out. The Genuine Qi gushed out of his pores, rotated around his hands quickly, and condensed into a two-meter-long sword-like Sword Qi in the air.

“Boom!”

As an earsplitting Qi explosion resounded, the sword-like white Sword Qi flew out and dashed toward Zhang Ruochen’s back.

“Pang Long, you’re a coward to attack me from behind.”

Xun Hualiu was worried about Lin Yue’s life, so he rushed out immediately. He put his hands together and struck out his palms, forming a semi-circular Genuine Qi mark to fend off the sword-like Sword Qi.

Although Xun Hualiu was powerful enough, he was highly inferior to Pang Long.

With a boom, the sword-like Sword Qi pierced through the Genuine Qi mark in an instant and hit Xun Hualiu in the chest.

His amulet treasure exploded and smashed the sword-like Sword Qi, which turned into dozens of chunks of debris and continued flying forward.

Under the impact of the debris, Xun Hualiu was struck backward with blood spilling out. He was seriously injured. When he was just about to fall down to the ground, a hand reached out to grab his shoulder.

As the hand turned over, Xun Hualiu’s body also flipped over half a circle. As a result, he landed on both feet and stood firmly on the ground.

Naturally, the master of that hand was Zhang Ruochen.

Even if Xun Hualiu had not struck, the sword-like Sword Qi released by Pang Long would not have hurt Zhang Ruochen.

However, Xun Hualiu did not know that, so he fended off Pang Long’s Sword Qi. Regarding this matter, Zhang Ruochen felt a little surprised.

Zhang Ruochen had always treated Xun Hualiu as Lin Yue’s evil associate and even looked down upon him. He never expected that Xun Hualiu would boldly come out to protect him from a sword cut at such a precarious moment.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly changed his impression of Xun Hualiu. “Although this man is notorious, he is not a back-stabber. Actually, he is worth making friends with.”

Despite the fact he had an amulet treasure, Xun Hualiu had been severely wounded by the debris from the Sword Qi. A piece of debris flew past his neck, almost cutting his throat out.

Pang Long had seriously injured Xun Hualiu, who was within the same realm, in just a single strike. All the outer and inner disciples present were awestruck.

“Pang Long is really formidable! If he were to spare no effort, he would be able to kill Xun Hualiu with just one strike.”

“There is a great disparity between men at the First Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm. We don’t know if Lin Yue can compete with Pang Long.”

Pang Long jumped from the stone stairs and glanced at Xun Hualiu. He snorted at him and said, “Don’t overreach yourself. Lin Yue, you have to fight me today.”

Whether Zhang Ruochen agreed or not, Pang Long stamped on the ground. Suddenly, a current of a Genuine Qi billow gushed out. With a swoosh, hundreds of streams of Sword Qi appeared in the Qi billow.

Zhang Ruochen stretched out his arms.

Hundreds of Sword Qi streams dissipated within a second as if they had been hit by an invisible force.

Zhang Ruochen withdrew his arms and said casually, “You’re no match for me. If you want to find an opponent, I think that Xun Hualiu can fight against you again.”

Upon hearing this, Xun Hualiu was stunned and shook his head hard. “Man, are you kidding? How can I be a match for Pang Long?”

Xun Hualiu naturally wanted to defeat Pang Long. And if he were to do so, not only could he get vengeance, but also enhance his fame. However, Pang Long was so powerful that he was not able to defeat him.

“You’ve been wounded by Pang Long, so you need to fight back with your own strength. You lost to him this time, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll lose to him in the future. Go ahead! I’ll help you.”

Zhang Ruochen was about to leave, taking the seriously injured Xun Hualiu with him.

Pang Long felt humiliated and simmered with rage. He formed a sword skill with two fingers and displayed a sword technique of the Inferior Class at the Ghost Level, which was called Clear Spring Swordsmanship.

Dense Genuine Qi poured out of his fingertips and turned into a giant sword shadow, chopping directly toward Zhang Ruochen’s head.

Zhang Ruochen did not look back but just waved his sleeves. Suddenly, a powerful force burst out and blew back Pang Long and the sword shadow.

Pang Long landed over 100 feet away with a torn and tattered robe, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

“Impossible…”

Pang Long covered his aching chest and kept his eyes wide open. He looked at Lin Yue’s figure like he was seeing a ghost.

He never expected for Lin Yue to be able to burst out such a terrifying force that he could not even strike back.

At the sight of this, all those present were taken aback.

Pang Long had always been highly superior to Lin Yue. Even though Lin Yue had integrated with three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions, everyone thought that Lin Yue was merely able to fight against Pang Long.

“What on earth just happened?”

Lin Yue had simply waved his sleeves and Pang Long was struck down.

And so it was apparent that Lin Yue was highly superior to Pang Long. The disparity between them was not less than one realm.

“Is he the same Lin Yue?”

Han Qiu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked surprised because she could not see through Lin Yue now.

Xun Hualiu was also quite shocked and stared wide-eyed. “My God! When did your cultivation become so formidable? Is it because you integrated with three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions?”

The other Yin and Yang Sect disciples thought the same way. They all thought Lin Yue’s cultivation had become so profound due to the three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions.

“Which realm has his cultivation reached?”

“It seems that Pang Long is really unqualified to fight him.”

The Yin and Yang Sect disciples looked at Zhang Ruochen with different eyes.

They were looking up to him.

To them, Lin Yue was like a lofty mountain. As long as he stood there, they could barely catch their breath.

A tall man stepped out from the crowd, exuding a powerful momentum. He walked toward Pang Long in the ashram and said, “Lin Yue has reached at least the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm. So, it’s not strange that he can defeat Pang Long.”

The man had steady footwork and a sturdy frame. His arms were as thick as a woman’s waist. He was about 2.2 meters tall.

He did not run his Genuine Qi but emitted a hot Qi billow as if there was a seething furnace under his skin. The power that emanated from him was strong enough to burn down the whole Supreme Pure Palace.

He walked over to Pang Long and reached out a hand to lift him up.

“Senior brother, Lin Yue pushed me too far,” Pang Long said angrily.

The man was full of masculinity. He reached out a big hand to pat Pang Long on his shoulder lightly. “I’m a Saint’s disciple now and no longer the senior brother of the Supreme Pure Palace. However, how can the disciples from the Supreme Pure Palace be bullied on our own territory? You go to cure your wounds first. I’ll handle this!”

Pang Long looked happy and thought secretly, “Since senior brother has released himself from refining, Lin Yue will not be able to escape unscathed today.”

Seeing the man beside Pang Long, Xun Hualiu looked pale and said, “Why did the freak release himself from refining?”

His presence caused a commotion among the inner disciples nearby.

“Unexpectedly, Gai Hao has released himself from refining.”

“Gai Hao was the senior brother among the inner disciples of the Supreme Pure Palace. He is close to Pang Long. Since he has released himself from refining, he will definitely not allow others to bully Pang Long.”

“I expect that Gai Hao will teach Lin Yue a lesson and let him know what our Supreme Pure Palace can do.”

Gai Hao was the Yang Spirit Saintly Being and had been the top talent of the Yin and Yang Sect over the last decade. He was also a key figure among the new generation of disciples. He had created many legends before even reaching the Fish-Dragon Realm.

A lot of people present regarded Gai Hao as an idol and dreamed of being him.

In the past, nobody would compare Lin Yue with Gai Hao because Lin Yue was not even fit to carry Gai Hao’s shoes.

But just now, Lin Yue had defeated Pang Long and displayed such powerful strength, so the Yin and Yang Sect disciples present expected there would be a battle between Gai Hao and Lin Yue.

In their minds, Lin Yue could not come close to defeating Gai Hao. He would only be able to exchange a few movements with Gai Hao at best.

“Gai Hao!”

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Ruochen looked at the tall, strong man involuntarily.

He was very familiar with this name because Saint Lady before had appraised “Zhang Ruochen, Di Yi, Mu Lingxi, Gai Hao, Luo Shuihan, and Bu Qianfan” as the Six Great Kings of the new generation in the Eastern Region in her edition of the Eastern Region Report.

He had seen the other four, but this was the first time for him to see Gai Hao.

“He has reached the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm. He is already very good for his age.” Zhang Ruochen saw through Gai Hao’s cultivation and nodded lightly.

Gai Hao had progressed a lot in cultivation. Among the Six Great Kings of the new generation in the Eastern Region, only Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi were superior to him.

Perhaps Gai Hao could have been a match for Zhang Ruochen in the past. But presently, Zhang Ruochen had gone beyond him.

“Lin Yue, do you intend to leave the Supreme Pure Palace like this?”

Gai Hao fixed his eyes on Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen stopped and turned back. He asked casually, “What’s wrong with that? What do you suggest?”

Gai Hao said, “You’ve hurt a Saint’s disciple of the Supreme Pure Palace. As his elder brother, I want to fight against you. Do you think that’s reasonable?”

Gai Hao was ready to launch an attack and he invited Lin Yue to join the battle.

All the Yin and Yang Sect disciples present were hot-blooded and excited.

Gai Hao was an unbeatable entity among the inner disciples, nobody was able to withstand one movement of his. And since becoming a Saint’s disciple, he had not fought against anyone.

And so, unexpectedly, his first opponent after becoming a Saint’s disciple was the little known Lin Yue.
