The arrival.

One, clad in white as pure as snow, carrying a gilded long spear on his back, his aura as majestic as a dragon.

One, dressed in black like ink, with a black heavy blade at his waist, his presence as fierce as a tiger.

They were not strangers.

They were Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye!

If the likes of Chu Tian Association, Lin Tianlai, and others could be considered top-tier prodigies, then these two were the giants among them, insurmountable mountains.

Now.

They too were ultimately drawn by the sound of the Golden Bell.

"Haha, Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye are here, let’s see how this kid still guards the Golden Bell!"

Sun Wuming clapped his hands and laughed.

He admitted he was not a match for Ye Qingchen, but he was absolutely unwilling to sit back and watch the other seize the top spot in the selection. Now seeing the two giants arrive, he felt an endless thrill.

"This is going to be exciting!"

Zhang Nanxuan’s eyes revealed a hint of smugness. As an elder of Taotian Palace, he naturally knew the strength of these two. With them taking action, how could Ye Qingchen defend the Golden Bell?

"Can Mr. Ye be a match for these two?"

Lin Shifei glanced at Ye Qingchen, feeling completely uncertain.

Both Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye were renowned prodigies whose strength far surpassed Lin Tianlai and Zhang Muyun. If it were just one person, Ye Qingchen might handle it, but for two at once, how could he resist?

At this moment.

The people in the valley, with expressions either mocking, smug, sneering, or worried, all glanced towards Ye Qingchen.

It must be noted.

These two were capable of annihilating Zhang Muyun and holding their ground against Human Immortals!

"Ye Qingchen, this Golden Bell is not something you can covet, hand it over to me!" Wu Xingyun said arrogantly. "You may have killed Zhang Muyun, sent Lin Tianlai flying with one finger, and repelled Tang Lifei with one palm. But you cannot contend with us, cannot guard this Golden Bell!"

"Indeed, you are not worthy of this Golden Bell, the top position in the selection is not something you can aspire to!" Tuoba Ye smirked disdainfully.

Despite.

Being aware of Ye Qingchen’s strength, they showed no fear at all. This was the confidence of prodigy giants, never putting anyone in their sight!

However.

Facing the advance of the two giants, Ye Qingchen merely raised his eyelids slightly, calmly repeating:

"Cross the line, die!"

As the words fell.

Their expressions drastically changed.

"Ye Qingchen, do you really want to oppose me?" Wu Xingyun’s voice grew deeper.

"Why waste words with him, if he refuses to hand over the Golden Bell, then we beat him until he does!" Tuoba Ye sneered, "Whoever of us beats Ye Qingchen first gets the Bell!"

"Fine!" Wu Xingyun’s lips moved slightly, uttering one word.

Bang!

Almost as soon as the words landed.

The two took action without any sign of warning, instantaneously.

It was seen.

Wu Xingyun stomped, revealing a massive, white True Qi from his body. In the next moment, he turned into a gale, whistling forth, targeting Ye Qingchen directly.

Almost simultaneously, Tuoba Ye’s aura shifted, a colossal, flame-like black True Qi erupted from within him, surging out, with a speed not losing out to Wu Xingyun.

Pa!

The two ignored the significance of the line, passing over it in an instant.

Their auras exploded, their bodies intertwining as they surged, like a black and white duo of wild dragons, intertwining and sweeping wildly. Their target was Ye Qingchen and the Golden Bell suspended in mid-air!

Their momentum left the people in the valley aghast.

"Does he dare to resist?"

In an instant.

All eyes involuntarily turned to Ye Qingchen.

Could he truly dare to contend with the two giants?

"So this is the strength of the prodigy giants?" Sun Wuming, He Zhiyuan, Sea of Jiang, and others shivered inwardly.

Before the two took action, they believed they were not too different from Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye. Yet at this moment, as soon as they moved, the gap between them was made painfully clear.

"Can Mr. Ye withstand it?"

Lin Shifei and Lu Yanwu watched nervously.

Bang!

Almost as Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun crossed that line, Ye Qingchen rose to his full height, boldly stepping forward!

"Move aside!"

Tuoba Ye shouted violently, his five fingers claw-shaped, redirecting his hand originally reaching for the Bell with a shrill gust, sharply aiming for Ye Qingchen!

"Hmph!"

Wu Xingyun sneered, clenching his hand into a fist, powering it with immense force, crushing towards Ye Qingchen below, with a cracking explosion in its wake.

In the face of their onslaught, Ye Qingchen remained unmoved. His right hand slowly rose, turning slightly, creating a whirlwind. His left hand clenched into a fist, slowly pushing forward, like a ram’s horn!

"What?"

Witnessing this, the people in the valley collectively gasped.

Was Ye Qingchen really planning to take on two at once?

"Courting death!"

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s actions, Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye’s eyes flashed with indignation.

One must know.

They were the prodigy giants, with unparalleled strength, unrivaled in the world. Wu Xingyun’s pride and Tuoba Ye’s arrogance were renowned. And yet, Ye Qingchen dared to face them with the power of a Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer!

This clearly showed he didn’t regard them in the slightest!

"Move!"

Almost simultaneously.

The two shouted in unison, their True Qi bursting from within with an even more swift and mighty force, pouring into their attacks, crushing towards Ye Qingchen!

Under the crowd’s shocked gazes.

The opposing attacks collided fiercely.

"Boom!"

The attacks from both sides clashed violently, brutally colliding with each other.

Whoosh!

An unprecedented terrifying gale swiftly swept through in that instant, forcing everyone in the valley to retreat repeatedly. Even the Three-tailed Fox perched on Ye Qingchen’s shoulder was fiercely blown away by the storm.

"What’s the situation now?"

Before everyone could steady themselves, they hurriedly looked forward, eager to see the result of the first clash between the two sides.

In everyone’s eyes.

Ye Qingchen would inevitably be blasted back, coughing up blood from the joint strike of Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye, perhaps even severely injured on the spot. But what they saw, at the epicenter of the raging winds, was Ye Qingchen with his long hair flying and his clothes flapping audibly.

His feet were rooted into the ground several inches deep like tree roots, and the earth beneath him alarmingly cracked and spread in countless fissures.

Yet he!

Hadn’t taken a single step back!

"How is this possible?"

"He actually withstood the combined sweep of Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye? Is this for real? And without retreating even a step?"

"What kind of power is this? Could he really guard this Golden Bell?"

Upon seeing the scene, the valley erupted with a chorus of awe and astonishment.

Ye Qingchen’s strength had once again exceeded everyone’s imagination!

"This!"

Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye exchanged glances.

They both saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Tuoba Ye shouted angrily, flipping his left hand and clawing downward suddenly. His fingers, brimming with force, stirred a wild wind, as several vicious ear-piercing white blades slashed down like giant knives.

With this claw strike, his right hand swiftly formed into a hook, resembling a serpent baring its fangs, aimed straight at Ye Qingchen’s throat.

"Kill!"

Wu Xingyun erupted with true fury, pushing his palm forward, and a turbulent giant force surged and swept in without restraint, crushing down fiercely. Although there was nothing in his palm, it seemed like a mountain was pressing down!

Almost simultaneously, he flipped his left hand, forming a fist, and charged straight like a dragon attacking a citadel!

In that instant.

The two struck aggressively again, each move deadly!

Instantly.

The whole sky and earth were completely shrouded by their overwhelming attacks!

However.

Facing the combined assault again, Ye Qingchen remained calm as he unleashed a punch.

"Bang!"

This punch, driven by the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, seemed like a dragon converging its might into his fist. It snaked in nine twists through the air, arriving later but striking first, colliding loudly with Tuoba Ye’s punch.

Then he flipped his left hand, as if sealing, with his fingertips whipping up a strong wind to block the descending palm of Wu Xingyun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant.

Ye Qingchen was already fiercely engaging with the two, the terrifying sound akin to thunder echoed across the valley. Dust and Qi Force roiled, shaking the entire valley.

Causing utter chaos in this piece of heaven and earth!

The Celestial Venerables watching from behind, feeling the violent Qi Force, couldn’t help but change their expressions drastically and had to retreat repeatedly. This level of giants’ battle was beyond their involvement!

After retreating, they collectively looked forward.

And saw.

Ye Qingchen standing unmoved, effortlessly with his bare hands, fending off the assaults of both, rendering their overwhelming offensive completely futile!

"Is this real?"

The surrounding crowd watched the scene and almost had their eyes pop out.

They knew Ye Qingchen’s strength was formidable, but they never expected Ye Qingchen’s power to reach such an extent!

Of course.

The most shocked, naturally, were Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye themselves.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Tuoba Ye shouted furiously, his aura swelling threefold in an instant, pressing forward again. Forming a fist with his hand, in that instant, the myriad shadows of fists in the sky converged rapidly, merging into this single punch!

"Kill!"

Murderous intent surged again in Wu Xingyun’s eyes, as he flipped his right hand, forming his fingers into a spear. Around him, rolling True Qi poured into his two fingers like an inverted waterfall. This strike brutally pierced through the void, aiming directly at Ye Qingchen’s brow!

At this very moment.

The two had completely unleashed their towering prowess, their Celestial Venerable Ninth Layer cultivation, in its full glory.

Whoosh!

Their combined strike far surpassed the previous ones.

In an instant.

A storm raged in the valley, a tsunami-like gale suddenly surged hundreds of meters high, crashing toward Ye Qingchen with overwhelming might!

"Alas!"

Facing this powerful strike from both.

Ye Qingchen sighed profoundly, and his hands turned sharply, smashing down slowly.

This smash seemed light and weightless, yet in Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye’s eyes, it appeared as if he were embracing the sun and moon, its power unmatched and almost invincible!

With countless shocked gazes watching, it smashed down onto the ground fiercely.

"Rumble!"

At that moment.

It was as if the heavens fractured and the earth shattered.

The entire valley trembled violently, resembling an earthquake. The entire grounds collapsed with a boom, as if countless fissures were torn open by an invisible giant hand. These fissures spread and surged, extending beyond the valley, smashing dozens of mountain peaks.

At the same time.

The ferocious storm exploded violently.

The attacking Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye were caught in this brutal Qi Force, spitting blood on the spot, like arrows shot from a bowstring, arcing through the sky and crashing back fiercely.

A deathly silence filled the scene.

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe.

Ye Qingchen single-handedly, in just one move, had already defeated Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye?

What kind of terrifying power is this?
