Ouyang Kuo turned his head to look at Ouyang Chen and the other, then spoke: “Fu Ren, for the second match, you go up!”
The cold and handsome youth named Fu Ren nodded to Ouyang Kuo, then turned around and looked towards Shangguan Yu in the void ahead, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Immediately after, his entire body leaped up and surged forward.
In a short time, he flew to a position hundreds of zhang away from Shangguan Yu and stood opposite him.
At this time, Shangguan Yu’s four-bladed flying dart had already been recalled to his side. Seeing Fu Ren approach, that gigantic flying dart began to rotate.
He was also pondering how to quickly defeat the opponent without consuming too much spiritual power.
Given the Ouyang family’s fighting style, this Fu Ren would surely spare no cost to drag him down.
Of course, based on the usual array layout and Ouyang Peng’s strength, Ouyang Peng should be the second strongest among the three, while this Fu Ren should be the weakest of the three.
However, at this moment, Fu Ren spoke indifferently: “You are not my opponent, concede!”
Shangguan Yu was so angry he nearly spat blood!
He had been thinking that Fu Ren was the weakest of the three and considering how to quickly defeat the other, yet Fu Ren’s first words claimed that he was not the opponent’s match.
“Hmph! Arrogant! Let us see how long you can remain arrogant!” Shangguan Yu shouted angrily. With a stir of spiritual power, he immediately recalled the gigantic flying dart. His eyes narrowed, spiritual power surged in his mind, and the main spirit was summoned once more.
A giant hammer spiritual form instantly coalesced before him. The giant hammer appeared somewhat blurry yet contained terrifying spiritual power. Vast mental pressure filled the air, and powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanated from that giant hammer spiritual form.
“What a fool Shangguan Yu is, so easily provoked!” Shangguan Xiong could not help but furrow his brows. Fortunately, their Shangguan family’s trump card was not Shangguan Yu but Shangguan Tong.
Otherwise, even if Shangguan Yu truly had the strength to defeat the Ouyang family’s combatants, he would likely be defeated by their schemes.
The members of the Shangguan family all furrowed their brows.
It was evident that the Ouyang family wanted Shangguan Yu to unleash the highly consuming, strongest main spirit attack, while they themselves only defended to deplete Shangguan Yu’s strength as much as possible.
Yet Shangguan Yu was so foolish, easily provoked by the other and falling into their trap.
“Sizzle!”
At this moment, Fu Ren’s body emanated the aura of fifth-layer Martial Monarch cultivation. The aura was strong, but far inferior to the might unleashed by that main spirit.
“As expected, merely a vital energy cultivator!” Shangguan Yu snorted coldly and said: “A mere fifth-layer Martial Monarch vital energy cultivator, let us see how you block this strike of mine!”
With that, he stirred his spiritual power, and that giant hammer main spirit shot up into the sky, stirring up a rumble of wind and thunder.
At the same time, opposite Shangguan Yu, a transparent bloodline suddenly lit up behind Fu Ren.
Then, Fu Ren’s body suddenly became transparent, and his entire person instantly vanished from everyone’s sight.
“What?” At this moment, Shangguan Yu was greatly startled. Not only had Fu Ren’s figure disappeared, but even the opponent’s aura had become undetectable, completely concealed.
It was not just Shangguan Yu; even the crowd present were all stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.
Fu Ren’s body had vanished just like that?
“Invisibility bloodline!” Lin Xiao also exclaimed in surprise.
A bloodline lighting up meant activating a special bloodline, and one that could make the entire body invisible could only be the invisibility bloodline with such capability.
Similar to Hu Yue’s innate ability back then, which allowed the entire body to become invisible.
However, Hu Yue possessed an invisibility phenomenon, while this Fu Ren had an invisibility bloodline!
At this time, Lin Xiao grew increasingly curious and shocked about the geniuses on the Central Continent.
The geniuses selected by these spiritual controller families were indeed no simple characters.
Shangguan Xiong, the Shangguan family grand elder, and the others all furrowed their brows.
With an invisibility innate ability, if the aura concealment was powerful enough, one simply could not attack, equivalent to standing there and letting the other strike. The other held an innate advantage.
At this moment, besides being shocked, Shangguan Yu felt somewhat dazed. In the time he had been stunned, the opponent must have moved from the original position.
If the opponent’s figure were still there, even if the other had a chance to move, he could control the giant hammer main spirit to turn and attack.
Now, however, the opponent’s figure was gone and certainly not in the original position. The spiritual power he had consumed greatly to summon the main spirit had no target to attack.
“This is bad!” At this point, Shangguan Yu instinctively thought of a problem.
Now was not the time for him to attack the other, but for the other to attack him.
He could not see the opponent, who could attack from any angle. If unprepared, it would be dangerous.
At once, he had no choice but to abandon the main spirit attack, allowing that main spirit to gradually dissipate on its own.
Before him, spiritual power rapidly surged out, immediately enveloping his entire body and forming a defensive barrier.
“Boom sizzle!”
A loud bang echoed, and Shangguan Yu only felt a powerful force impacting from his side and rear. A weapon’s attack was blocked by his barrier.
However, the terrifying force exploded, and surging waves of energy erupted in that instant. His spiritual power defensive barrier also instantly collapsed.
A mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, and Shangguan Yu’s entire body was blasted far away.
At Shangguan Yu’s original position, a figure emerged, precisely Fu Ren.
“You!” Shangguan Yu was both shocked and furious. His main focus had been on summoning the main spirit, and the earlier defence had been hastily executed, with insufficient spiritual power. Unexpectedly, Fu Ren had seized the opportunity and struck him with one blow, injuring him.
The expressions of the Shangguan family members also turned ugly. They had already discerned that Fu Ren’s earlier provocation of Shangguan Yu had clearly been a premeditated scheme.
“As I said, you are not my match. It would be best to concede quickly, otherwise, the consequences might be more than you can bear.” At this moment, Fu Ren spoke again.
“Hmph, defeating me is not that easy!” Shangguan Yu halted his retreating body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although angry, he did not rush to attack Fu Ren but prepared to defend against him.
Having fallen for it once, he would not fall for the scheme a second time.
“Then do not blame me for being impolite!” At this point, Fu Ren’s bloodline lit up once more, and Fu Ren’s body vanished from the crowd’s sight again.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yu summoned a spiritual power defensive barrier once more.
Although this was pure spiritual power, not as powerful as the main spirit, it was still his strongest force. With his strength, a full defence could withstand even a sixth-layer Martial Monarch without issue. Fu Ren’s power was not weak, but breaking through his defence would likely be impossible.
“Sizzle!”
And at this very moment, Shangguan Yu only felt a faint, weak aura rapidly approaching from ahead, as if something was charging straight towards him.
“Right! With my full defence, he has no need to circle to the rear or side; he will surely attack straight on. If I fully defend, even if I can block it, I cannot defeat him. If I now seize the chance to attack him…”
A flash of insight struck Shangguan Yu’s mind, and then he suddenly withdrew his defence. Powerful spiritual power surged violently, rushing forward and instantly enveloping that faintly approaching aura.
