The members of the Spear Dragon Sect were furious. A Ninth Stage Martial Venerable dared to challenge all their Fourth Stage Martial Lord disciples, an act of extreme arrogance.
The Spear Dragon Sect, one of the eight supreme powers, was not a place where just anyone could come to provoke.
“What bold words!” He Qi was the first to roar, his body radiating intense battle intent. “Let me see what you, Duan Dongtian, are made of!”
With that, He Qi surged with overwhelming righteous energy, gripping his long spear and charging fiercely towards Duan Dongtian.
“A mere Second Stage Martial Lord, overestimating yourself!” Duan Dongtian snorted coldly, his figure flashing forward with lightning speed, rushing towards He Qi.
“Get lost!” He Qi shouted, thrusting his spear at Duan Dongtian with unmatched force, the air seemingly exploding as his righteous energy spread in all directions.
“Clang!”
A piercing sound rang out. Everyone saw Duan Dongtian shift his body, one hand shooting out to grip He Qi’s spear tightly, terrifying energy erupting between palm and spear.
In that moment, the Spear Dragon Sect disciples were stunned, and even the thousand onlookers were shocked.
Was Duan Dongtian’s strength so formidable that he could catch a powerful strike from a Second Stage Martial Lord with his bare hand?
“How is this possible?” He Qi’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He could not fathom that Duan Dongtian had caught his spear directly.
“The one who should get lost is you!” Duan Dongtian clenched his other hand into a fist, smashing it fiercely into He Qi’s chest.
Bang!
With a loud sound, He Qi’s body flew backward like an arrow, crashing into the ground before the mountain gate, stirring up a cloud of dust.
“Brother He Qi!” Yu Kewei stepped forward, helping He Qi to his feet.
Blood trickled from He Qi’s mouth, his eyes glaring coldly at Duan Dongtian.
“Anyone below the Fourth Stage Martial Lord, come and fight!” Duan Dongtian said disdainfully to He Qi and Yu Kewei.
He Qi was enraged, grinding his teeth.
Though they cultivated righteous energy, avoiding deceit and petty conflicts, they were not without competition. As spear practitioners, their battle intent was fierce.
As a genius, when had He Qi ever been so humiliated? When had the Spear Dragon Sect ever been so insulted?
His eyes fixed on Duan Dongtian, He Qi’s battle intent surged. Wiping the blood from his mouth, he picked up his spear, ready to attack again.
“Let me handle this!” Yu Kewei stopped He Qi, then drew a long spear, swinging it with a resounding clang.
Looking at Duan Dongtian, Yu Kewei spoke coldly, “Fourth Stage Martial Lord, as you wish!”
Yu Kewei moved, leaping diagonally into the air, shouting, “A battle in the skies!”
“Hmph!” Duan Dongtian soared upward, and at a certain height, he threw a punch. A dazzling fist aura burst forth, stirring a fierce gale filled with terrifying power, aimed at Yu Kewei.
Boom!
Yu Kewei’s righteous energy surged, his battle intent roaring. Wielding his spear, a sweeping spear force collided with Duan Dongtian’s radiant fist aura.
“Rumble!”
A deafening clash erupted as part of the spear force met the fist aura, unleashing rolling waves of energy. The weakened fist aura, carrying surging airwaves, continued towards Yu Kewei.
The remaining spear force, untouched by the fist aura, swept towards Duan Dongtian from the side.
Duan Dongtian struck with a palm, its mountain-toppling force shattering the remaining spear energy, surging forward with rolling airwaves.
Yu Kewei swung his spear, his righteous energy surging. The spear force, condensed with righteous power, shattered the incoming fist aura and pressed forward.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” Yu Kewei’s spear danced continuously, while Duan Dongtian’s fists and palms alternated. Spear forces swept, fist and palm auras erupted, their powers clashing repeatedly, emitting dazzling bursts of light and surging airwaves.
“Hmph, a Fourth Stage Martial Lord of the Spear Dragon Sect, is that all?” In mere moments, Duan Dongtian sneered, his aura exploding. His right fist clenched, and a ferocious punch shot out, a blinding light bursting from his fist.
The unmatched fist aura, like a mighty river, surged towards Yu Kewei.
“There is righteousness in heaven and earth, the spear shapes all forms!”
Yu Kewei’s hair flew wildly, his battle intent soaring. Stepping through the void, he thrust his spear, righteous energy converging into a radiant golden spear aura, piercing forward.
The supreme, unyielding force seemed to embody heaven and earth, shaping all things, resonating with the world, trembling the void.
“Rumble!” The two forces collided, erupting in a deafening roar. A blinding light illuminated the heavens, vast airwaves surging in all directions, the unmatched shockwaves mostly targeting Yu Kewei.
Yu Kewei’s brow furrowed, his righteous energy boiling. Retreating upward, he unleashed an even stronger strike.
“Righteousness surges to the heavens, the spear hammers all obstacles!” Yu Kewei gripped his spear with both hands, smashing it downward.
Surging righteous energy converged with righteous power, forming a massive spear, dozens of metres long and a metre thick, smashing diagonally downward.
This giant spear, imbued with immense righteous power, seemed capable of crushing everything, terrifyingly splitting the incoming shockwaves and airwaves like a path carved through the sea.
“Severing Emperor Fist!” Duan Dongtian roared, unleashing a more terrifying punch. A blinding golden light burst from his fist, the unmatched fist aura, segmented like bamboo, carrying the power to sever all obstacles, striking the massive golden spear with unstoppable force.
“Rumble!”
A earth-shaking clash erupted. Yu Kewei’s righteous spear shattered, turning into torrential airwaves. The diminished fist aura, still carrying unstoppable momentum, struck Yu Kewei with surging waves.
Yu Kewei spat blood, his body sent flying.
In that moment, the Spear Dragon Sect disciples were stunned.
Duan Dongtian, a Ninth Stage Martial Venerable, had defeated Yu Kewei, a Fourth Stage Martial Lord?
Was his strength truly so formidable?
“No wonder he dared to seek revenge on Lin Xiao. Even the genius Fourth Stage Martial Lord of the Spear Dragon Sect is no match for him!”
The onlookers sighed inwardly, astonished by Duan Dongtian’s power.
A Martial Venerable defeating a Fourth Stage Martial Lord was something only Lin Xiao had achieved before, against Jian Wuque and Yang Xiu.
Of course, they knew Duan Dongtian had suppressed his cultivation, unlike Lin Xiao’s natural prowess.
But with Duan Dongtian’s current strength, he was indeed qualified to challenge Lin Xiao.
And perhaps, Duan Dongtian had not yet revealed his full power.
If Lin Xiao appeared now, Duan Dongtian might even kill him.
Even Zheren Feng showed a satisfied expression. Duan Dongtian had not disappointed him.
Yang Lan and Duan Tianya’s faces turned cold. Zhong Moyang frowned, uncertain if Lin Xiao, without progress, could match Duan Dongtian.
