Li Yuan and the others fully believed in Jiang Man’s words and actions.

He was a man of his word—if he said he’d strike, he’d strike.

But whether he could win, they weren’t sure.

Because their opponents were, after all, the top three of the third floor.

They weren’t an existence the Six Pavilions could challenge.

Even though Jiang Man had advanced to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, this was completely different from being in the Six Pavilions.

In the Six Pavilions, they were unrivaled.

On the third floor, it was a battle of equals.

In fact, the other side had the advantage.

There were simply too many of them.

Even if a Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator faced so many people, he would be exhausted by the time he knocked them all down.

In the end, he would be no match for a Ninth Layer cultivator at their peak.

"I don’t know how he’s going to fight. Let’s hide first," Li Yuan said.

’Whether I can hold my head high in the family all depends on today.’

’If he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.’

After all, Jiang Man was going to make a move on Li Yuan first.

The possibility of Li Yuan being eliminated was very high.

If Jiang Man failed to get it, and the Fang Family got it instead...

...that would be arming the enemy.

’I’m afraid we’d be doomed beyond recovery.’

’But I’m a little curious. If I hadn’t come today, what would Jiang Man have done?’

’When I went to find him, he was very calm.’

’It seemed like whether I came or not didn’t make much of a difference to him.’

He had asked Yan Huimin, but he didn’t get an answer either.

He could only wait and see if he got a chance to ask.

The final result would be decided soon.

’If this succeeds, the tables will turn between me and Li Yuan.’

’The family’s resources will start to lean in my favor.’

At this moment, Jiang Man appeared before the crowd.

Many people didn’t care about the second-ranked cultivator of the Six Pavilions.

He was certainly a figure in the Six Pavilions, but this was the third floor’s home turf; he was nothing special here.

Mainly, no one recognized him.

Behind Fang Tiancheng, Fang Tianyi was a bit puzzled.

’Why has Jiang Man come alone?’

As far as he knew, no one had recruited him.

’What is he here for, then?’

’Coming alone, he can’t possibly compete for anything.’

Fang Yuanyuan was also confused.

But soon, they saw Jiang Man suddenly accelerate. It was the Divine Step.

His speed was immense as he rushed toward Li Yuan.

Everyone could see he was a poor cultivator, still using the Divine Step—a Sixth Layer Divine Step, which didn’t even qualify as a Lower Grade Magic Skill.

However, no matter how poor this person was, he couldn’t be ignored.

Because he was about to reach Li Yuan.

"Stop him." Li Yuan had no idea who this person was.

He had just charged over out of nowhere.

But no matter who it was, they would not be allowed to get close to him.

At his word.

Immediately, three people rushed over.

However, a dragon’s roar echoed.

Nine Golden Dragons emerged.

Dragon Suppression Skill.

BOOM!

The three were sent flying by the Golden Dragons, unable to stop the man charging through.

Just then, a Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator stepped forward, wind and thunder gathering at his feet.

Magic Skill, Thunderous Gale.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jiang Man, but he didn’t slow down, continuing his rapid charge.

Magic Skill, Barbaric Charge.

However, the moment he neared Jiang Man, a hand struck his shoulder.

Six Harmonies Palm.

Six Palms Combined.

CRACK!

The Magic Skill on his shoulder dissipated, and the sound of breaking bone followed.

BANG!

The Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator was sent flying backward, crashed heavily onto the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before, no one had paid him any mind, but when the Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator fell, they realized the severity of the situation.

’A Qi Refining Ninth Layer?’

At that moment, Jiang Man turned into a wisp of cyan smoke, reappearing in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was surprised, but that was all.

Although he didn’t know where this Qi Refining Ninth Layer had come from...

...he posed no threat.

Immediately, golden light flickered around his body, and nine runic seals manifested.

Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal, Ninth Layer.

’How will he counter this?’

The instant Li Yuan was about to attack, a Golden Dragon blossomed behind Jiang Man, and nine runic seals circled his body.

Immediately, the Nine Seals combined into one.

Great Success Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal.

While Li Yuan was still in shock, the attack arrived in an instant.

RUMBLE!

A palm descended, its immense and heavy power directly crushing the nine runic seals and forcing Li Yuan back.

’A mere Ninth Layer Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal.’ Jiang Man felt neither joy nor sorrow as he transformed into a wisp of cyan smoke and pursued.

’Take out Li Yuan in one go, then defeat all the other Qi Refining Ninth Layers.’

’The competition will be over.’

He stomped his foot. Bengliu Technique.

BOOM!

Spikes erupted from the ground, forcing the surrounding people back.

Then, the Golden Dragon manifested behind him, nine runic seals circling his body.

He attacked Li Yuan again.

The latter was surprised but immediately covered himself in lightning and charged forward to meet the attack.

Thousand Thunder Technique.

BOOM!

The Magic Skills collided, and the powerful shockwave forced the onlookers to retreat.

At this moment, Jiang Man landed again, and immediately, the Bengliu Technique erupted once more.

Spikes appeared all around, attacking the crowd.

The onlookers had to retreat, but they still wanted to attack with Magic Skills.

It was just that their opponent was sticking too close to Li Yuan.

They had no clear shot.

Just then, the Golden Dragon appeared behind Jiang Man again, aiming straight for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan frowned. "The Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal consumes a massive amount of energy. You’ve already used it three times in a row. You can’t last much longer."

Jiang Man said nothing, transforming into a wisp of cyan smoke and instantly appearing before his opponent.

He unleashed the Nine Seals Combined again.

BOOM!

Li Yuan’s brow furrowed. He felt this person was reckless, completely disregarding the consequences.

"How much Spiritual Source did they give you? My Li Family is willing to double it," Li Yuan said while retreating, having just endured another Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal.

He could feel his own energy draining significantly.

His opponent was just relentlessly casting the Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal.

He couldn’t even conserve his Spiritual Qi if he wanted to.

’Cyan Smoke Prelude really is a troublesome Magic Skill.’

In the past, he wouldn’t have cared, thinking he could just defeat anyone who came knocking.

Who would have thought this person would be so single-minded?

A wisp of cyan smoke flashed by again, and he was forced to use his own Cyan Smoke Prelude to dodge.

But he still needed to use a Magic Skill to counter the attack.

BOOM!

BOOM!

The two of them flickered in and out of existence, the Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal manifesting again and again.

Before long, with a loud BOOM...

...Li Yuan was sent flying.

He clutched his chest, nearly stumbling. "Which family are you from?"

But the only response he received was another Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal.

"Stop him!" Li Yuan retreated, immediately ordering his people to block Jiang Man.

A group of people charged forward.

Jiang Man looked at the crowd as a Golden Dragon materialized around him.

Nine Dragons Emerge.

His palms struck out furiously.

The earth churned.

The wisp of cyan smoke that was Jiang Man shot through the crowd.

RUMBLE!

With a BANG, all of those people were sent flying backward.

In that instant, Jiang Man appeared before Li Yuan.

His Nine Clouds Dragon-Suppressing Seal finished forming.

He struck out with his palm.

BANG!

The blow landed on his opponent’s chest while he was still trying to regulate his breathing.

BANG!

Li Yuan was sent flying backward.

However, before he could even hit the ground, Jiang Man was already above him.

A foot came crashing down.

Bengliu Technique.

BANG!

CRACK!

It was the sound of bones breaking.

And Li Yuan was stomped right into the ground.

Only then did Jiang Man let out a breath.

He looked into Li Yuan’s confused and terrified eyes, shook his head, and said, "You’ve sent people to trouble me several times, yet you don’t even recognize me?

"But that’s fine. From today onward, you will."

’Not only that, from now on, I will become an insurmountable mountain in your life. This is the domineering power of a peerless Talent,’ Jiang Man thought to himself.

He then kicked the man toward the crowd that was about to close in. "It’s over. You’ve all been eliminated."
