Chapter 474: Tang Qi Trapped Inside the Drum
“This is the first move!”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wonderful Dance launched her attack, and in just one exchange, Tang Qi was rendered powerless.
“That can’t be right?”
Feeling the sensations on his face, Tang Qi’s eyes widened.
This slap was light, but it hurt, ruthlessly scraping his dignity across the ground.
“How dare you…”
“Slap!”
Before he had a chance to say anything, the second move followed, with Wonderful Dance’s speed always faster than his speech.
At this point, Tang Qi finally reacted, his aura suddenly bursting forth, ready to counterattack.
“You’re asking for death!”
“Bang!”
A muffled sound resonated again as Wonderful Dance delivered him a shocking blow, then gracefully retreated, leaving the dazed Tang Qi to stagger in the wind.
“Three moves have passed, you lost!”
After a moment of shock, Shangguan Na wore a sly smile, reveling in his misfortune.
“No, that doesn’t count, I haven’t struck yet, I haven’t lost!”
Tang Qi roared, his eyes filled with rage, the frustration in his heart almost making him explode.
To be humiliated and defeated in such a manner was more painful than death.
“Hmph, you haven’t made a move because you didn’t even have the chance to. If this were a real battle, being hit three times in critical areas would have made you a dead man!”
Shangguan Na disdainfully remarked, her expression causing Tang Qi to feel a stab in his heart.
“Shut up, when I say it doesn’t count, it doesn’t count. We have to start over; I want her to know my might!”
With a roar, he unleashed all of his aura, which was indeed extremely powerful, causing the Semi-Sages present to change their expressions!
“Tang Qi, have I been too lenient with you?”
Shangguan Na’s body shook, and a Sage-level aura erupted, directly suppressing him.
The earlier confrontation had made her resolute; no matter what, she had to protect Wonderful Dance, so in the face of Tang Qi’s aggression, she chose not to back down!
“You want to protect her? I advise you to think it through. I’m the sect master’s adopted son; her daring to slap me in public is a death sentence. If you oppose me, you better be clear about the consequences!”
Tang Qi dropped any pretense, directly using his status to intimidate her, but unfortunately, he had picked the wrong opponent.
“Heh…”
Shangguan Na sneered, “Talking about being fat and you are really wheezing. Should I show Master the embarrassing way you just acted? Let’s see how she handles it?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi calmed down, realizing even he understood how humiliating his previous display was.
“Very well, remember this; it’s not over!”
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Zhou Tong.
“Now it’s your turn!”
With this declaration, everyone’s hearts raced, some looking at Zhou Tong with concern.
One just had to think; Tang Qi would unleash all his anger and resentment onto him.
And with Tang Qi’s near-invincible strength at the same level, Zhou Tong would face disaster if he didn’t back down.
“Come on…”
However, contrary to expectations, Zhou Tong did not evade; instead, he walked directly in front of him, his expression calm as if he was preparing to eat.
Seeing him like this, Tang Qi couldn’t help but feel anger rise within him.
“You damn fool, how dare you ignore my authority? You will pay dearly for this!”
He roared in his heart, frantically unleashing his aura to pressure Zhou Tong, hoping to force a look of terror from him.
It seemed that only in doing so could he regain a shred of dignity.
Yet Zhou Tong completely disregarded him, slightly raising his brows and uttering a line that broke Tang Qi’s composure.
“My companion wasn’t wrong; you really are weak!”
“You’re seeking death!!”
Tang Qi finally snapped, having thought that in this new environment, he could swim like a fish, standing out prominently, but unexpectedly, he encountered a setback on his very first day. How could he possibly tolerate that?
Thus, he decided to use the cruelest methods to utterly annihilate this person before him, making everyone see that disrespecting him resulted in this fate!
In an instant, he erupted with an aura comparable to a Sage’s, mercilessly throwing a punch at Zhou Tong.
“Watch out!”
Shangguan Na’s face changed slightly. As a Sage-level powerhouse, how could she not recognize the danger of this strike?
The moment he struck, he sealed off the space with his momentum, leaving Zhou Tong no way to evade; he could only meet the attack head-on—what was this but a death sentence?
However, just as she was about to assist, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Wonderful Dance nearby.
The latter remained as calm as ever, making it difficult for her to understand.
Was this indifference towards the survival of her companion? Or did Wonderful Dance think this attack was simply negligible?
“Impossible?”
Immediately following, Zhou Tong also made a move, throwing a punch that appeared light and slow, without any force at all.
“Underestimating yourself!”
Tang Qi sneered, automatically increasing his strength, colliding directly with Zhou Tong’s fist!
In that moment, his expression changed drastically.
He realized he had been tricked, and it was a big mistake. He was good at playing the fool but now he had run into a master of that same tactic!
In the instant their fists met, he felt an indescribable horrifying force; in front of it, his arm was as fragile as rotten wood, instantly crumpling into three bends, his stark white bone shards piercing through the skin, grotesquely exposed!
“Ahhh!!!”
He screamed and stumbled back, his face contorted in disbelief as he glared at Zhou Tong.
“How is this possible?!”
Even Shangguan Na’s eyes widened, glancing back at the unruffled Wonderful Dance, unable to resist swallowing hard.
What kind of day was this, to have two monsters show up all at once?
“Do you find this incredible? In fact, you’re just a frog at the bottom of a well!”
Zhou Tong looked at Tang Qi, speaking with an indifferent expression.
“Perhaps you are a genius from some small place, enjoying a period of invincibility in that trivial land, which led you to develop an illusion of being strong.”
“But don’t forget, this is the Central Continent, a gathering place of countless geniuses; there are many stronger than you at your level, and here, you’re really quite ordinary!”
Upon hearing these words, Tang Qi felt as if struck by lightning; he actually began to believe it.
Indeed, after losing the protection of the Heavenly Dao, alongside the disappearance of his fool’s halo, he had become the most foolish existence.
At this moment, he was trapped in a thick cocoon of information, having faced two setbacks in just one day; it was natural for him to question his life.
If it weren’t for the two people crushing him, he would even doubt that the person before him was Zhou Tong.
“Am I really that weak?”
“That’s right, after all, even an ordinary person like me can easily handle you; you should realize your own worth!”
“Ordinary my foot!”
At this moment, Shangguan Na and the Semi-Sage behind her both internally scoffed.
How could she not know what a genius of the Central Continent was like? She herself was a genius, and she had to admit that Tang Qi’s talent was indeed above hers.
However, above Tang Qi, there were also monsters like Profound Song.
Yet based on her assessment, with Zhou Tong’s combat power at the same level, he could even surpass Profound Song.
If this were all considered ordinary, then what was she?
“I refuse to believe it; I cannot be an ordinary person; you’re lying to me!”
With a thunderous roar, Tang Qi completely lost control, unable to accept the notion of being mediocre.
“You are certainly not an ordinary person; in fact, you are even less than an ordinary person. Someone like me is what you call ordinary!”
“Bullshit! That’s just because I haven’t used my full strength. Now you will see how powerful I am!”
As his voice fell, he directly activated his trump card.
“Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill, Transmutation Great Law!”
In a state of extreme madness, Tang Qi chose to burn his lifespan, elevating his strength to the Second Layer of Sage, recklessly charging forward once again!
