The cultivators at the banquet felt shocked.
No one could have expected that it would end like this?
Both Yuan Zhi and Jun Wuyi were very powerful figures in Sacred Bright City and had never suffered such a great defeat.
What was even more surprising was that both the Yuan Sage Clan and the Jun Sage Clan had giants of the Saint realm attending tonight’s banquet.
That man with the golden mask, how dare he lay such a heavy hand on them, wasn’t he afraid that he wouldn’t be able to walk through the gates of the Cai Clan’s Sacred Mansion?
The two battles just now had startled those dignified figures in the center area.
The Cai Family’s second young miss, Cai Yunji revealed a worried expression as she said, “That man was able to defeat Jun Wuyi and possess such a powerful spiritual power, he is definitely not some casual cultivator, he is at least an heir of some Saint Sect, and may even be a potential dragon cultivated by some Hidden World Family.”
“Sixth brother, go and discuss this with Chi Shizi, it’s best if we can turn our differences into peace, lest we invite unnecessary trouble for the Cai family.”
Cai Jinglun, the sixth son of the Cai family, shook his head, “Second sister, the situation has developed to the point where there’s no possibility of Chi Shizi stopping?”
Cai Yunji glanced in Chi Yutang’s direction, and indeed saw that Chi Yutang’s face had a murderous streak on it, and had clearly been moved to true anger.
Now, for a son of the Cai family, to go forward and dissuade him, wouldn’t he be offending the Chi Shi Zi as well?
One was the son of a royal family, and the other was a young man of unknown origin, which was the lesser of the two, the young sons of the Cai family naturally knew the difference.
Cai Jinglun had an air of wisdom as he said, “In this matter, it’s better for our Cai Family to stay out of it, and leave it up to Shi Zi Ji to resolve it on his own.”
The children of the Cai Family present were clearly led by Cai Jinglun.
Since, Cai Jinglun had already made such a decision, it was naturally inconvenient for the others to step in and mediate.
Unlike Chi Yutang, Wan Huayu’s face was wearing a soulful smile, and she was becoming more and more curious about the identity of the man wearing the golden mask.
In this Sacred Brightness City, how could it be possible that such a formidable spiritual powerhouse had appeared for no reason at all?
Chi Yutang’s face was very gloomy as he raised his voice and bellowed, “Commander Guo, someone wantonly injured someone at the Cai Family Sacred Mansion’s banquet, why don’t you put him on the spot?”
One of the Ten Great Commanders of the Canglong Army, Guo Lu, was originally under the orders of the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, and was naturally the head of Chi Yutang’s horse.
Guo Lu raised his voice and bellowed, both palms raised at the same time.
Two streams of dense purple qi surged out from his palms, causing the entire Spirit Lake to vibrate slightly.
Not far away, Xue Sanyi’s body shrunk slightly as he said, “Is Guo Lu about to use out his Purple Flame Palm?”
“The Purple Flame Palm is one of the nine Saint Arts of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, and it’s said that when it’s executed by a Saint realm giant, the sky in a thousand-mile radius will be covered in purple aura. When the palm print strikes the ground, it will cause a great earthquake.”
“Guo Lu once saved the young Taiyang King, which is why he had the chance to learn the Purple Flame Palm.”
“Guo Lu’s Purple Flame Palm has been cultivated to the fifth level and can explode twenty-six times the attack power, which is already quite close to the power of a Saint Art.”
Guo Lu, as a Ninth Order Half-Saint, a powerhouse that stood at the top below the Saint realm, yet he directly used his strongest means, thus showing that he truly wanted to suppress that man wearing the golden mask.
Many people mourned for Zhang Ruochen, thinking that he was too arrogant, otherwise, he wouldn’t have died in the Cai Clan’s Sacred Mansion.
Some of the older generation figures used Zhang Ruochen as a negative example to educate some of the juniors present, saying, “Young people should be able to bend and bend and should learn to bow down when they meet a great man like the Chi Seiko.”
“Purple Flame Palm.”
Guo Lu droned out, and his two palms, emitting a sound like wind and thunder, struck towards Zhang Ruochen’s undershirt.
He controlled his palm power to be quite concentrated, condensing it into a single point.
In this way, the power that erupted from the Purple Flame Palm would be even more powerful.
“Puffing.”
The lotus platform beside Zhang Ruochen couldn’t withstand the heat of the violet flame and burned, quickly turning into ashes.
“Palm Technique cultivation is not bad, it’s just a pity that the power is inferior.”
Zhang Ruochen turned around boldly and blasted out the fist energy that had already been condensed long ago, “Luo Shui Fist Technique First Style, Heavenly River Dividing.”
As the fist struck out, there was actually a layer of water wave shadows that appeared behind Zhang Ruochen, emitting a “clattering” sound.
The fists and palms collided together, and instantly, an earth-shaking sound was emitted.
Zhang Ruochen took a step back, followed by stepping forward once again, charging towards Guo Lu, saying, “The second stance of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Nine Queries and Nine Turns.”
Guo Lu was secretly shocked, not having expected that not only was the other party a powerful spiritual cultivator, but his attainments in boxing were also so strong.
Two clouds of violet flame appeared in Guo Lu’s hands once again, transforming into two violet fire clouds that slapped out at the same time.
Guo Lu possessed the cultivation of an Early Ninth Order Half-Saint, and his own strength was indeed slightly stronger than Zhang Ruochen’s.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s fist technique, however, was even more brilliant and erupted into a much stronger attack, which could erupt into thirty-two times the attack power.
It was because of this that Zhang Ruochen actually had a slight upper hand.
The thirty-six Luoshui Fist Techniques, which were meant to be a whole, were more powerful than one another, and their power was climbing, beating Guo Lu back and forth.
“The twelfth move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Thousand Water Flying Waterfall.”?This fist force fell and directly broke through Guo Lu’s Sacred Soul Domain, causing him to spit blood from his mouth and fall backward by more than ten feet.
Zhang Ruochen, however, had no intention of sparing him and chased after him, striking out three more fist seals in a row.
“Luo Shui Fist Technique 13th Stance, Long Rainbow Upside Down.”?”Luo Shui Fist Technique 14th Style, Hundred Rivers Striving for Flow.”?”Luo Shui Fist Technique 15th Style, Heaven and Water.”
The three fist seals, all in one go, caused Guo Lu to spit out three mouthfuls of blood in a row, with serious damage occurring to all of his internal organs, and the entire person flew out backwards.
Zhang Ruochen flicked his sleeves and walked over, stomping on Guo Lu’s chest as he indifferently said, “Do you know how to respect others now?”
At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared with wide eyes as if they were seeing the most incredible thing in the world.
Guo Lu, one of the Ten Commanders of the Canglong Army, who was known to be the pinnacle of the Sacred Realm, was actually knocked to the ground by someone.
When this matter spread out, it was bound to shake the entire Sacred Brightness City.
On the small island in the center of the Spirit Lake, a group of human geniuses and heavenly prides walked out one after another, rushing over in the direction where Zhang Ruochen was.
The other banquet goers immediately retreated to the distance for fear of suffering the repercussions.
Zhang Ruochen, however, still had his paw on Guo Lu’s chest, his spine straight, and a stern aura permeating his body.
Chi Yutang walked in the frontmost position and stared over at Zhang Ruochen, snorting coldly, “No wonder you’re so arrogant, so it turns out that you have the Eastern Domain Sacred Academy’s Luo Xiu Academy Master backing you up.”
In the audience, there were quite a few people who recognized that Zhang Ruochen was performing the Luo Shui Fist Technique, and moreover, were able to tell that he had already cultivated the Luo Shui Fist Technique to more than the sixth level.
Obviously, the man wearing the golden mask had received the true transmission from Luo Xu.
“Release Guo Lu, for the sake of Luo Xu courtyard master, this son can spare you this time.”Chi Yutang said.
Although Chi Yutang had the status and position of a royal son, he still didn’t dare to easily offend an existence like Luo Xu.
Continuing to make a scene would be detrimental to him.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Apologize.”
“What did you say?”
A coldness appeared in Chi Yutang’s eyes.
Zhang Ruochen added, “I’m telling you to apologize and admit your mistake immediately, if, however, you can be more forthcoming, it’s not certain that I’ll let him go.”
Chi Yutang was first stunned, then, he laughed back in anger, “Only others have ever bowed down and admitted their faults to this Seon, you are the first one who dares to tell this Seon to bow down and admit his faults. Kill, if you have the ability to kill Commander Guo, will you see if Master Luo Xu Academy can protect you?”
Those cultivators behind Chi Yutang all revealed teasing eyes, no one believed that Zhang Ruochen dared to kill Guo Lu at all.
In the end, Guo Lu was under the Ministry of Military Affairs, and he was even a subordinate domain king personally appointed by the Empress, so who would dare to blatantly kill him?
In the eyes of the crowd, even if Luo Xu was personally present and wanted to kill Guo Lu, he would have to weigh it carefully.
The corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth hooked slightly, revealing a strange smile as he fiercely stomped downwards.
“Crack.”
In Guo Lu’s chest, the sound of bones shattering resounded, collapsing downwards as all of his organs shattered into bloody mud.
Even Guo Lu’s Saint Soul was shattered by Zhang Ruochen’s foot, and his divine form was destroyed.
Seeing this scene, all the cultivators present, all of them grew their mouths, their brains went blank, and collectively became petrified.
On the small island in the central area, there were thirty-six beautiful young girls wearing colorful feathered clothes, standing there, also paying close attention to the direction where Zhang Ruochen and Guo Lu were.
They were the Heavenly Character level dancers of the Phoenix Dance Palace, and each of them stood out, having a beauty that was one in a million, while all of them were also cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm.
The Cai Family had spent a large amount of spirit crystals to invite them to come and dance at the banquet.
Among them, half of them were frightened and their faces turned pale.
However, there were also a few young women who appeared calm, and instead, a look of delight appeared above their beautiful faces.
One of the dancers, who was eighteen/nine years old, transmitted her voice to a veiled dancer, saying, ”Great, Guo Lu has finally gotten his due retribution. We plotted seven times and lost more than a dozen former powerhouses of the Half-Saint realm, but we couldn’t kill him, yet we didn’t expect that he would die on top of the Cai Clan’s banquet.”
The veiled dancer, standing at the center of all the dancers, had a quiet and ethereal aura. Because of her extremely beautiful figure and snow-white skin, she was able to stand out even when standing between dozens of beautiful women.
Her eyes were very bright and full of spirituality as she transmitted, ”Guo Lu’s strength is quite powerful, even if I were to personally take action, if I wanted to kill him, I would only have a 20-30% chance. The man who killed Guo Lu’s strength is very uncomplicated, and is by no means a nameless person.”
“As long as I can kill Guo Lu, who cares what his identity is?”
The dancer wearing a veil, who appeared calm, shook her head and said, “I suspect that he purposely placed the killer and took Guo Lu’s life.”
“How could that be? Doesn’t he know that by killing Guo Lu, he himself will be lifeless?”
The veiled dancer, said, “Just before we arrived at the Cai Clan’s Sacred Mansion, Zhang Fengxing came to the Phoenix Dance Palace to look for me once, claiming that there was a half-Saint realm powerhouse wearing a golden mask who wanted to see me. According to Zhang Fengxing’s description, the person he met was most likely the young man in front of us, Killer Guo Lu.”
“Doesn’t it mean that he is most likely one of our own? What should we do now, killing Guo Lu is stabbing the sky, even if we want to rescue him, I’m afraid that we have no way to do so.”
The veiled dancer revealed a thoughtful look, a pair of beautiful eyes, gazing at the man wearing a golden mask in the distance, saying, “This person’s strength is so powerful, he shouldn’t be an impulsive person, he’s probably going to have a backhand.”
