Chapter 83: Why is It So Difficult to Admit Defeat?
“Tonight, I invite your nine clans to the palace; I will personally host a banquet to reward them…”
Qian Miaoyu clenched her fists, her stunning face already showing visible veins.
As for the Guard Leader, he was beyond merely sweating profusely; even his pants were soaked with cold sweat.
Looking at the bewildered Zhang Chuqiao in the arena, he only wanted to do one thing: tear the registered participants to pieces!
“What a perfect match! It’s truly a heavenly pair!”
The Little Demoness was ecstatic, leaning on Zhou Tong’s shoulder, her small hands constantly patting his back.
She laughed to the point of tears, wishing she could lock Zhang Chuqiao and Qian Miaoyu in place and let them finish their internal reckoning.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Chuqiao had become the center of attention.
She had gone into a killing frenzy, taking down every opponent with a single blow.
So far, no one had seen her use a second move.
This was because she herself was a rule-breaking existence.
In the Life-Death Realm, with a Yin-Yang Body, and touching the Beginning of One, taking any one of those out was incredibly explosive.
Now, with all three combined, it was a dimensional crush in this context.
“I can’t keep fighting; otherwise, it will become a real act. I must lose gracefully.”
Zhang Chuqiao looked at her opponent before her, firmly resolved, with plans for a spectacular exit.
“You look quite pitiful, Rabbit Lord; you might as well kneel and admit defeat. I would make it pleasurable for you!”
Caught off guard, foul language hit Zhang Chuqiao like a tidal wave, instantly igniting her killing intent.
Dealing with such scum required only a slight repositioning of their internal organs to quiet them down.
With a cry of agony, that person spurted blood and flew backwards, crashing to the ground, unconscious.
“Truly worthy of being by the side of the Guest Senior; impressive indeed, and also extraordinarily handsome.”
The anger on Qian Miaoyu’s face eased slightly, unable to help but praise.
“Your Majesty speaks correctly.”
The Guard Leader immediately chimed in, “In my humble opinion, this person is also someone who hides their strength; they may not be weaker than the Guest Senior. If Your Majesty could form an alliance with them, it wouldn’t be an unwise move…”
Before he could finish, he was met with a deathly glare and quickly shut his mouth.
“No one can be compared to the Guest Senior!”
Qian Miaoyu said faintly, then shifted her gaze away.
The Guard Leader wore a depressed expression, feeling a chill in his heart; it seemed this punishment couldn’t be avoided!
“This person is very strong; I clearly investigated the strong warriors in the Imperial Capital, so why isn’t there any information on her?”
Below the stands, Mo Liushu frowned, as people from the Jade Purity Sect had arrived at the scene.
Xia Hongxiu had a gloomy expression; she had been unlucky lately.
No matter how many times she tried, she couldn’t separate “Zhou Tong” from Mo Liushu.
One was as unbreakable as diamond, not disturbed by calamities.
The other was immovable, with a tough skin that brushed off all ridicule, completely different from before.
It shouldn’t be like this.
Their conflicts were clearly visible, just needing a little push to fully ignite, yet it seemed things were going contrary to expectation.
Not only that, Chen Ling’er was extremely irritating; she had cried and screamed the whole night last night for reasons unknown, almost causing her to suffer backlash from the heavenly secrets and fall into madness.
To make matters worse, since this morning, Chen Ling’er had followed “Zhou Tong” loyally, clinging to his clothing and refusing to let go.
Even among those known for their infatuation, she was a benchmark presence.
How could she be so devoted?
Only Tang Qi seemed like a normal person on the surface; he watched the combat platform, eager for a chance.
“If I can come out on top and win the Empress’s favor, wouldn’t that be a leap to success?”
He had great confidence in himself, as he had already touched upon the barrier of the Heaven-Cutting Realm; he only needed one last step, and maybe this battle would be his opportunity for a breakthrough.
“Be careful; this person is formidable and has not used his full strength from start to finish.”
The voice of the old man echoed in his mind.
“So what? We are in sync as master and disciple; who could possibly be our match?”
Tang Qi said nonchalantly, grasping the old man’s card in his hand, allowing him to act recklessly.
“That’s sensible; I was too cautious.”
The aged soul couldn’t help but chuckle; as long as he possessed Tang Qi, he could unleash power comparable to the pinnacle of the Heaven-Cutting Realm, a level that could look down on all peers, unless the opponent had already stepped into the Life-Death Realm.
But could that be possible? Absolutely not!
“I swear, this time I must make a perfect exit; otherwise, I will bark like a dog!”
Zhang Chuqiao set her goal and quietly awaited her next opponent.
“I challenge you.”
Tang Qi made a suave entrance.
Zhang Chuqiao’s expression instantly soured; through Mu Ran Ya’s exaggerated descriptions, she had learned about Tang Qi’s exploits and deeply resented him.
Mo Liushu looked at the stage, filled with satisfaction.
“With Xiao Qi’s strength, defeating this person should be easy; if he can indeed form a union with that Empress, it would greatly benefit the Jade Purity Sect.”
“Wang!”
Suddenly, Zhang Chuqiao barked, causing everyone present to freeze.
How could such a noble talent have such a quirk?
Zhang Chuqiao, however, was unfazed; since she hadn’t revealed her true face, she treated it as a moment of liberation.
“To actually fearfully imitate a dog bark is truly embarrassing.”
Tang Qi laughed heartily, “If you want to beg for mercy, you must kneel before me like a real dog, wagging your tail and pleading; then I might consider going easy on you!”
He had just spoken.
Now his leg was broken!
In a flash, Tang Qi flew out, twisting his left leg in midair, crashing heavily onto the ground.
“Ah, ah, ah…”
He screamed, filled with confusion and rage.
“Despicable! To dare sneak attack me, I’ll make you regret being born in this world!”
He roared harshly, a surge of energy spreading from his heart, breaking free from his constraints in an instant.
“Boom!!!”
The Transcendent Divide was crossed; Tang Qi’s power instantly surged several times.
“My God, this is the first time I’ve seen someone break through to the Heaven-Cutting Realm in the heat of battle; this guy is defying heaven!”
“He must have deliberately gotten injured, using it as an opportunity to break then establish, shattering his shackles!”
“Exactly right; it seems victory and defeat are already decided.”
A rich vitality poured in, restoring Tang Qi’s broken leg; at this moment, he was enveloped in almost boiling murderous energy.
Tang Qi’s expression darkened, filled with authority, and with a powerful aura, he pressed forward.
Many people’s faces changed; those slightly weaker almost immediately bowed down.
“Kneel!” he shouted.
With a thud, Tang Qi himself knelt to the ground.
His leg had been disabled once more; very few could see Zhang Chuqiao’s movements clearly.
“Be good; knock your head a couple more times for me to hear!”
Zhang Chuqiao stepped on his crown, pushing down fiercely.
“Bang!”
Tang Qi’s forehead smashed into the ground, and in an instant, debris flew!
“Old man, hurry and lend me your power!”
He finally sensed something was amiss, urgently urging in fear within his heart.
