"What?!"

This scene made everyone around unable to help but change their expressions.

Zhang Rui’s face was filled with an expression of disbelief, "Impossible!"

Cheng Zi’ang, the Vice Hall Master of Tianxuan Hall, is one of the top ten young kings in the Tianxuan Universe in terms of strength.

His cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Reverse Life Realm!

Yet today, within this Holy Garden, he was struck down from high above by Xu Qingqiu with a single palm.

This is truly unbelievable!

With the same strength, Cheng Zi’ang was completely no match for Xu Qingqiu, even appearing utterly vulnerable. If such a thing had not happened right before their eyes, who would believe it?

"You!"

Cheng Zi’ang, being knocked down, managed to stabilize himself thanks to his strong abilities, so he didn’t appear too disgraceful.

But now, being struck down from mid-air by an opponent of equal strength, this scene made him feel an extreme sense of humiliation.

In fact, just now, Cheng Zi’ang underestimated Xu Qingqiu, which is why he suffered a minor setback.

If he had been prepared in time, dealing with that slap would not have been difficult.

However, from this single palm strike, he gained a clearer understanding of Xu Qingqiu’s strength.

This is undeniably a powerful enemy; even if he fought with all his might, Cheng Zi’ang was not confident in having a thirty percent chance of winning, unless the Hall Master intervened personally.

"It seems your power as a Vice Hall Master was not as strong as I imagined."

Xu Qingqiu stood in place, looking at the opponent with cold eyes. Just a simple sentence made Cheng Zi’ang furious beyond reason! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He wanted to strike back and suppress Xu Qingqiu on the spot to regain the dignity he lost just now.

But thinking carefully, if they did fight, he would most likely lose, and then he would be even more humiliated.

"Hehe, Chaos South Immortal, truly lives up to the name. With such strength, your presence is an honor to the Chaos Universe."

At this moment, a light-hearted laugh came from the distant sky. Two figures flashed in, their speed astonishingly fast.

"Tianxuan Palace Master Jiang Longwei, Divine Sword Sect Master Jian Yi!"

Their arrival once again stirred a commotion among the crowd.

These are truly top masters within the Holy City. Whether Jiang Longwei or Jian Yi, both are genuine fifth-level masters in the Reverse Life Realm.

"Southern Immortal Xu Qingqiu, I’ve heard of you recently, indeed a rare expert."

Jian Yi stepped forward, looking at the Southern Immortal, his whole being like a divine sword, emanating an overwhelming aura. He continued, "It’s not entirely out of the question for people from the Chaos Universe to join the gathering. Today, if you can take a single strike from me, then all from the Chaos Universe can enter the Holy Garden. How about that?"

This statement caused a stir among those present, just one strike?

If such words were said to a nobody, no one would find it unusual.

But now, standing before Jian Yi is the Chaos South Immortal, of the fourth level in the Reverse Life Realm. Even in the current elite-filled Divine Domain, Southern Immortal Xu Qingqiu is renowned.

Such a figure taking one of Jian Yi’s strikes should not be difficult, right?

Yet Jian Yi still spoke these words, showing that he had absolute confidence in his strength!

Even facing the Chaos South Immortal, Jian Yi did not feel that the opponent could take his strike unscathed.

As expected, hearing Jian Yi’s words made Xu Qingqiu frown. In a battle of life and death, he feared no one at the same level and could even fight against a fifth-level powerhouse in the Reverse Life Realm.

But at this moment, the Jian Yi before him gave Xu Qingqiu an unprecedented sense of crisis.

It was a feeling he had never experienced before!

It made Xu Qingqiu realize that Jian Yi is an extremely dangerous figure.

"What’s the harm in taking a single strike from you?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Qingqiu spoke. As the Southern Immortal, possessing the Immortal Spirit Body, once hailed as the strongest physique in the Chaos Universe.

He was immune to all spells. No matter how strong Jian Yi was, in the end, he was just a fifth-level power in the Reverse Life Realm. He wasn’t qualified to kill him.

"However, taking a strike from you is not to prove anything. Whether people from the Chaos Universe are qualified to enter the Holy Garden is not for you alone to decide." He continued.

"This gathering is to explore the Divine King Tomb. The Chaos Universe ranks last among the nine major Universes. To be honest, your involvement would not help and might become a burden. However, you, the Southern Immortal, do have some skills. If you wish to explore the Divine King Tomb with us, I wouldn’t be opposed." Jian Yi said nothing, but Jiang Longwei, the Tianxuan Palace Master beside him, stepped forward. His tone and demeanor gave the impression of looking down from above.

"The Divine King Tomb is astonishing and does not belong to anyone. Whether the Chaos Universe participates is none of your concern, and you are not qualified to deny anyone from joining." Xu Qingqiu replied calmly.

"Hehe..."

Listening to his words, Jiang Longwei’s expression changed slightly as he spoke sarcastically, "Overestimating yourself! Seeing that you have some skill, I speak to you politely. Do not be so ungrateful."

"No need for these sarcastic words. If you want a battle, I would accompany you." Xu Qingqiu looked at him without any fear, even facing two fifth-level masters in the Reverse Life Realm; he showed no intention of retreating.

"You are indeed not weak, but for the two of us, you still fall short. Since you do not follow the rules set by the four great forces, please leave. The Holy Garden does not welcome people from the Chaos Universe." Jian Yi also spoke calmly.

"As I said before, no one has the right to dictate whether the Chaos Universe can enter. Be it the Divine Sword Universe, the Tianxuan Universe, or the Chaos Universe, the Divine King Tomb is open to all." Xu Qingqiu stood his ground, seemingly protecting the last shred of dignity for the Chaos Universe.

"Ungrateful!"

Jiang Longwei’s expression finally darkened, "Since you seek your own demise, I don’t mind making it happen today. Whether you are the Southern Immortal or the East Emperor, it doesn’t change the fact that the Chaos Universe ranks last among the nine major Universes."

"Rumor has it that you possess some kind of peerless physique. I wonder if you can take a strike from me." Jian Yi stepped forward, laughing as he spoke.

The atmosphere in the scene reached an extremely tense point. Everyone couldn’t help but retreat slightly, fearing being caught up in the upcoming battle.

The Southern Immortal’s strength might be somewhat lacking, but in a life-and-death struggle, the power unleashed would not be underestimated.

"The Tianxuan Palace Master and the Divine Sword Sect Master... the two great experts of the Holy City actually intend to join forces against someone weaker than themselves. Are you not afraid of being laughed at?"

At this moment, a cold laugh suddenly came from the crowd. Everyone was startled by the words, turning their eyes toward a young man in white, walking out slowly. Who else could it be but Mo Wangchen?
