Invincible Martial King

Looking at the figure that was slowly walking down the mountain, the black robed elder slightly narrowed his eyes. Behind him, other than Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann, the other disciples that were participating in Hero Meeting were the same.    

This old man's name was Cheng Qian, an elder with extremely high qualifications in Extreme Tao Academic Palace. He did not belong to Orthodox Unity Hall or Taiyi Hall, and this time, he was going to lead several disciples to participate in Hero Meeting.    

"He really is extraordinary."    

When Lu Chen came closer, Cheng Qian squinted his eyes and said softly. It was a kind of affirmation, but also a kind of sighing.    

"Greetings, Elder."    

Lu Chen did not feel any special emotions from this Elder Cheng, so he bowed to them out of respect for the elders.    

"Enter."    

Elder Cheng smiled and nodded.    

"Hold on."    

Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded.    

Zheng Manghu stared straight at Lu Chen, and said coldly: "Although you are number one in the Dao Club, but this time's participation in Hero Meeting is very important, I think you are not qualified."    

"So?"    

Lu Chen smiled lightly and asked, "So, you, this defeated opponent, want to question my current strength?"    

Hearing the words "defeated at hand", Zheng Manghu's face turned livid. However, he still maintained his basic calmness and said in a deep voice: "Everyone says that you had some accidents during your closed door training. It is difficult to guarantee that you are not as strong as you were before."    

As Zheng Manghu finished his sentence, everyone fell silent. Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann pretended not to hear him, while the other disciples' eyes lit up, as if they were agreeing with the former's words.    

"Manghu."    

Cheng Qian's face looked displeased as he glanced at Zheng Manghu. Although he was not born with Orthodox Unity Hall, he had extremely high qualifications within the academy. Even some elders would respectfully call him "Elder Cheng".    

"Please forgive me, Elder Cheng."    

"I want to spar with Lu Chen and see if he still has the qualifications to represent the academy in participating in the Wasteland Hero Meeting with us."    

Zheng Manghu finally revealed his purpose.    

A few years ago, he had lost at the Dao Gathering, so he had been diligently training. Now, his cultivation was one step closer, so he wanted to take this opportunity to make his move.    

"This …"    

Cheng Qian frowned, appearing to be in a difficult situation. He could only look helplessly at Lu Chen.    

"Since you want to make a move, then why waste your breath?"    

Glancing at Zheng Manghu, Lu Chen shook his head and took a step forward. It seemed like it was only one step, but it seemed to have crossed layers of space and time and appeared in front of Zheng Manghu almost instantly.    

"Hmm?"    

This scene caused Nan Hongyi's beautiful eyes to go cold. Su Yuvrann, who was beside her, had a solemn expression on her face.    

"Fine."    

"If you want to spar, then remember not to mess around."    

After hesitating for a moment, Elder Cheng reminded him.    

"Don't worry, Elder."    

As soon as he finished his sentence, the light in Zheng Manghu's eyes intensified like a ferocious tiger that had just been released from its cage. He pointed his five fingers at the air and a trident formed from the energy of heaven and earth appeared out of thin air.    

With this move, other than Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann, the other disciples all had fearful expressions in their eyes. It was obvious that Zheng Manghu's cultivation had improved greatly compared to a few years ago.    

"Clang!"    

A clear sword hum appeared, as if a stone fell from a calm lake. Everyone present could feel the surrounding temperature rapidly drop as countless sword rays appeared in their line of sight. They densely covered the sky and covered the earth, forming an enormous net.    

A rare serious expression appeared on Nan Hongyi's exquisite face as she gazed at the sword glows that covered the sky. Her eyes reflected the figure in front of her as her heart was constantly deducing something.    

Beside her, Su Yuvrann's expression was grave and there was a touch of Colour Of Hot in her eyes, as if she was taking advantage of this opportunity to see through the entire sword formation.    

Even though so many years had passed, Zheng Manghu was filled with confidence as his cultivation improved. However, when he looked at the sword lights that filled the sky, he could still feel his nervousness.    

Even though he was nervous, since he was determined to make a move, there couldn't be any regrets or hesitation. He let out a wild roar and exploded in the sky like a clap of thunder. The trident in his hand expanded and became a thousand feet large in the blink of an eye. It was as if his entire body was cast in gold.    

The essence, energy, and divine in his body were all being combined, pouring all of his power into the trident, causing its aura to grow to an unstoppable extent. This great determination was also a great willpower, wanting to combine hundreds of thousands of attacks into one move, releasing the most powerful thunderous attack, and thus determining the outcome of the battle.    

It had to be said that this desperate method had really scared everyone. Even Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann had been a bit surprised. If one of them were to face such a hot and resplendent attack, perhaps it would be difficult for them to defend against it.    

BOOM!    

The trident transformed into a golden Thunder And Lightning that shattered the air wherever it passed, revealing an incomparably terrifying turbulence. The sword beams that filled the sky gradually dimmed at this moment, and from afar, it seemed as if the entire sky had turned into thick lead clouds.    

As the cloud came crushing down, the sword aura continuously retreated. It was not dodging, but rather unstoppable as it retreated.    

Lu Chen looked expressionlessly at the dark clouds that were approaching with great strength. His pupils reflected the lightning like trident. He was silent for a moment and then the corner of his mouth slowly curled up, making a nice curve.    

"That's it?"    

It was only two words, but they were filled with an unimaginable confidence. Lu Chen raised his hand and clenched his fist, causing a light sound to ring out in the air.    

Along with the sound, the rolling clouds were suddenly obstructed, and a dazzling sword light shone once more, as if a spark had been ignited. With the constant support of firewood, it formed into a blazing inferno.    

From far away, the space at the foot of the mountain was filled with sword rays, illuminating the sky and the earth.    

"Crunch."    

As the sound rang out, the terrifying cloud shattered and the trident that was as heavy as thunder disintegrated, turning into countless pure Yuan Power and completely dissipating.    

Under the shine of the sword light, Zheng Manghu's face turned extremely pale. He clenched his fists as an indescribable emotion filled his eyes, which eventually turned into all the unwillingness and regret.    

"Pfft …"    

Zheng Manghu fell to the ground and coughed out a mouthful of blood at the same time. His overwhelming aura quickly weakened like a deflated ball.    

He had lost.    

He lost again at the hands of Lu Chen.    

Although Zheng Manghu was defeated, the sword lights that filled the sky did not disappear. The brighter swords were aimed at everyone other than Elder Cheng.    

"Are you convinced?"    

Hearing these three words, Nan Hongyi and Su Yuvrann looked at each other. They could see helplessness and sorrow in each other's eyes. Following that, the two of them lowered their heads in a tacit understanding.    

As for the others, they were so angry that their faces turned ashen. When they sensed the countless sword lights that were about to move, all of their unwillingness and anger eventually turned into helplessness and surrender.    

"I'm convinced."    

Zheng Manghu's weak voice sounded. There was not the slightest emotion in his voice. If there really was one, then it would be "respect".    

Although Zheng Manghu did not like Lu Chen, he knew even more clearly how monstrous and heaven defying an existence that could heavily injure their Life And Death Stage with just his Soul-breaking Stage alone was. Wu Tie did not act like the rest of them had guessed, and after an accident occurred during seclusion and his strength decreased, he became even stronger.    

That was because many people remembered that during the Dao War, he could only use this terrifying sword formation to slash out once. Now, however, it seemed that he could make a second strike, or even a third strike …    

Glancing at the crowd, Lu Chen did not retract the sword formation, but instead said indifferently: "This time's Hero Meeting, other than Elder Cheng, all of you have to listen to me."    

"If you still refuse to accept this, you can continue to spar."    

He emphasized the word "spar", making everyone feel a chill in their heart.    

Looking at the disciples that had obediently listened to him, Cheng Qian helplessly smiled, but there was a hint of gratification in his smile. With such a Kungwu Hall disciple, how could the Extreme Tao Academic Palace not shine in the world this time?
