#1987 - Like a fairy tale, like a myth!
On the arena, everyone was staring at the young man from the Wu family team, wondering which team he would challenge.
His aura was so strong, he would surely choose a powerful opponent.
These days, there had been almost no clashes between strong players, and people couldn't help but look forward to it.
Just then, people saw his gaze fixate, surprisingly landing on the location of the Apricot Blossom Village team.
People were astonished, was a truly a clash of the strong about to happen, challenging the Apricot Blossom Village team right from the start!
"Wu Ke-di of the Wu family challenges the Apricot Blossom Village team!"
The Wu family's young man, Wu Ke-di, spoke with a voice like a thunderclap, the sound waves rolling.
The arena was silent.
His sudden shout startled everyone, their hearts feeling like they had been struck, causing some discomfort.
"This…"
People were shocked!
Just a shout, and it had such an effect.
People realized that they had underestimated Wu Ke-di.
They certainly knew about the second-tier forces in the county.
They also knew about Wu Ke-di, but in their minds, Wu Ke-di could only be considered a second-tier figure among the younger generation, far behind Wu Xu and Lin Mo.
Now it seemed that was not the case at all!
"Apricot Blossom Village team, aren't you coming up to accept the challenge?"
Wu Ke-di stood with one hand behind his back, his attitude strong, his cold eyes extremely aggressive, looking down at Hua Qi from the stage with disdain.
"Don't say I'm bullying your Apricot Blossom Village team for only having one person.
You Apricot Blossom Village are, after all, descendants of the Great Emperor.
However, the descendants of the Great Emperor may seem impressive to others.
But in my eyes, Wu Ke-di's eyes, the Great Emperor's bloodline is nothing more than that.
Today, I challenge your Apricot Blossom Village team, and according to the rules of the competition, you must come to the stage to fight, and accepting the challenge means you will surely die.
That's right, I want to kill you, there's no need to hide it.
Unless you admit defeat and give up now, and roll back to your Apricot Blossom Village, like your ancestors, shrinking back in the remote mountains and never appearing in the world, otherwise, I, Wu Ke-di, will kill every person from Apricot Blossom Village I see, until you don't dare to come out!"
His voice, every word was like a thunderclap, impacting people's eardrums and hearts, echoing in the arena.
It was truly overbearing to the extreme!
People were shocked, not expecting the Wu family's hostility towards Apricot Blossom Village to be so great.
To directly say on the dueling stage that he would kill the people of Apricot Blossom Village until they didn't dare to come out.
His voice, his words, every word was full of killing intent.
At the same time, Wu Ke-di's aura became particularly strong, forming a fierce wind around his body, every strand of divine law on his body dazzlingly bright.
"True God! He… he… is actually a True God Realm expert!"
Someone exclaimed, it was a middle-aged man, himself a True God Lesser Celestial, familiar with the aura of a True God.
"What? Wu Ke-di is actually a Lesser Celestial True God?"
"This… how is that possible!
He is so young, how could he have broken through to the True God Realm.
You must know that the Lin family, the Wu sect, the Yanagi-sheng family, and the destroyed Heavenly One Sect, they are the overlord forces of our Pingnan County, enjoying the best resources.
Even the strongest geniuses they cultivated have not been able to step into the True God Realm at this age.
How did Wu Ke-di do it?"
"Heavens, unbelievable, so Wu Ke-di is this strong.
He is the undisputed number one of the younger generation in Pingnan County, the ceiling of his generation!"
"Hidden so deeply, for so long, Wu Ke-di is the dark horse of this competition!"
"The Apricot Blossom Village team is in trouble now, encountering Wu Ke-di's challenge, and with a determination to kill.
I can feel Wu Ke-di's will to kill.
Once Hua Qi of Apricot Blossom Village comes to the stage to accept the challenge, it will be a certain death situation.
In front of a True God, even the most amazing Demigod can't withstand a single move!"
In the arena, while people were discussing, the higher-ups of the Wu sect and the Lin family revealed strange smiles.
Unlucky people are common, but people seeking death are really uncommon, a rare species.
The higher-ups and team members of Small Circle Mountain and Mistywave Island all showed different expressions.
What gave Wu Ke-di the illusion that the Apricot Blossom Village team only had Hua Qi?
He's lighting a lantern in the outhouse, courting death.
Also, there was the person who had seen Jun Wu Xie inside the Heavenly One Sect's mountain gate, with a strange look in his eyes.
Is benefactor really a team member?
Judging from his strength, he shouldn't be, but according to benefactor's age, he can completely participate in the Heaven-Bestowed Battle competition.
If benefactor is not from the Apricot Blossom Village team, then Hua Qi will be in danger this time.
Conversely, if benefactor is a member of the team, then the arrogant Wu Ke-di is destined to be a tragedy.
"You are very arrogant."
Jun Wu Xie looked at Wu Ke-di on the stage, pressing down Hua Qi who was about to go on stage.
"Is that so?"
Wu Ke-di sneered, brushing his sleeves, and said, "Because I have the capital to be arrogant.
I, Wu Ke-di, can say without any humility that everyone in the teams present are weaklings, vulnerable, what do you have to refute me?"
Jun Wu Xie got up and walked towards the dueling stage, saying, "There are always some people who, the less capable they are, the more they think they are capable.
Also, who told you that the Apricot Blossom Village team only has Hua Qi."
Wu Ke-di was stunned, not caring about Jun Wu Xie's words about him being self-righteous, and smiled, "So, the Apricot Blossom Village team has another person, that's you?
A Demigod Absolute Celestial cultivator?
Are you trying to make me laugh to death?
With your realm, you dare to lecture me, a Lesser Celestial True God, in such an old-fashioned way.
Someone like you, I can slap you down with one hand.
That's still under the circumstance of not using much strength, if I use a little more strength, you're afraid you'd turn into a puddle of minced meat."
Jun Wu Xie stopped speaking.
This person was really too noisy.
He had no intention of wasting words with him.
He walked up the steps onto the dueling stage.
People's mood became tense.
The Apricot Blossom Village team actually had a second person.
It was that young man who had not played these days, drinking tea under the stage every day, with a woman of extraordinary temperament serving him, truly carefree.
Could this person be even stronger than Hua Qi?
Wu Ke-di said that he was in the Demigod Absolute Celestial Realm.
Speaking from the realm alone, it is indeed two Celestials higher than Hua Qi.
However, a Demigod is, after all, just a Demigod, and is not enough to see when encountering a True God.
How did he have the courage to dare to step onto the dueling stage to face Wu Ke-di, and even fight him?
Most people were full of incomprehension.
A Demigod, who gave him the confidence and courage, and who gave him the illusion that he could compete with a True God.
I'm afraid it's just one round, if he doesn't die, he'll be seriously injured.
Boom!
The bell of order rang under people's tense attention.
With a hum.
Wu Ke-di's body overflowed with pieces of divine law true energy, covering a radius of more than ten meters around his body, forming a powerful True God field.
He stood with one hand behind his back, his thick black hair dancing wildly in the true energy, taking steps towards Jun Wu Xie with an invincible posture, his eyes cold, his expression full of indifference.
"Little Demigod, it's really laughable, now let me show you what is called the might of a True God, get down on your knees for me!"
Wu Ke-di was incomparably strong, striding towards Jun Wu Xie with the True God field, his left hand behind his back, his right hand hanging at his waist extending out the moment the True God field covered Jun Wu Xie.
A vast amount of divine law true energy condensed into a palm in the air, about to press down.
With such a posture, he completely did not put this Demigod who came on stage to duel him in his eyes.
He wanted to use the most casual action, one hand to suppress him on the ground so he could not move, making the other party tremble on the ground and look up to his divine appearance!
Everyone sighed, this young man from the Apricot Blossom Village team was about to be humiliated.
He would die, and before he died, he would be humiliated, suppressed by Wu Ke-di's single hand so he couldn't move, losing his life in humiliation, pain, and despair.
People had already foreseen the scene that was about to happen, with a picture already in their minds.
Just then, people found that the divine law palm condensed by Wu Ke-di suddenly stopped in the air, surprisingly not continuing to press down.
Wu Ke-di, who made the move, was also slightly stunned.
Immediately, he chuckled dumbly, this little Demigod actually wanted to resist.
After laughing, he was about to increase his strength to press down the palm.
But he saw the other party wave his hand casually, the sleeves of his moon-white sword robe shaking.
A piece of golden light bloomed, dazzling and piercing.
With a bang.
The golden energy swept over like a long river.
He sneered, wanting to resolve it casually.
However, he found that his divine law true energy actually collapsed instantly, causing his pupils to shrink and his heart to be greatly shocked.
He was about to retreat violently, but it was already too late.
Boom!
He was hit by the golden energy on the spot, only feeling that his body was hit by a mountain, his internal organs shifted, his meridians shattered, and a mouthful of blood couldn't be stopped, spurting out wildly.
He was terrified, seeing that person rushing towards him, the speed so fast that he couldn't believe it, only able to see some afterimages, unable to capture his trajectory at all.
He wanted to dodge, but his body was weightless, and he had not yet stabilized his figure.
In this situation, it was impossible to react quickly.
Before his eyes, that figure rushed to the front, he raised his hand to attack.
Before his hand could be raised, a palm finger wrapped in golden light heavily struck his chin from below.
He heard a cracking sound, coming from the connection between his neck and jaw, his mouth was in extreme pain, his tongue was bitten through by his teeth, blood spurting wildly, his body lost weight again, flying into the sky.
His head was splitting, dizzy, his eyes were black, only feeling that the whole world was spinning.
His body began to fall, and just as he was about to hit the ground, a golden palm appeared out of nowhere and slapped him hard across the face.
Wu Kedi cried out in pain, his body flying out more than ten meters before crashing heavily onto the stage.
He was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he was about to admit defeat.
But the figure was too fast, arriving in an instant, and with a single suction, pulled him into its hand. A palm like divine iron locked his neck, preventing him from speaking, only allowing him to make cracking sounds from his throat.
Immediately after, he found his feet leaving the ground, his neck locked by his opponent's single hand, lifting him up.
His face was full of terror, the pupils in his eyes dilated with fear, his feet kicking wildly in the air, trying to break free, but to no avail.
The entire arena was silent, an unprecedented silence, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
People stared blankly, unable to believe the scene on the dueling stage.
It was a scenario they had never dreamed of.
The incomparably powerful Wu Kedi, a participant at the Lesser Celestial True God Realm, didn't even have room to fight back, and was completely crushed and beaten by an unknown member of the Apricot Blossom Village team.
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
How could this be?
Wasn't that young man only at the Demigod Realm?
Which Demigod in the world could have such strength, easily manipulating a Lesser Celestial True God Realm expert at will?
It was simply a fantasy, like a myth!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have dared to believe it.
People were as if waking from a dream.
They originally thought that this young man from the Apricot Blossom Village team was a Bronze rank in front of the powerful Wu Kedi.
Who would have thought that he was actually a Super King!
Thinking back to Wu Kedi's arrogant remarks before the duel, claiming that all the participants present were weak, with an invincible attitude.
Looking at him now, his neck locked, lifted up with one hand, his legs kicking, struggling with all his might but to no avail.
The contrast made him look like a complete joke.
It was probably because he had been hiding for too long, and now he could finally show his strength, wanting to show off in front of people.
As a result, he chose the wrong target and kicked a steel plate.
On the Wu family's side, everyone's faces were unsightly, both shocked and angry.
They couldn't understand how the Apricot Blossom Village team could have such a powerful member.
Who exactly is this person?
At this moment, the palm locking Wu Kedi's neck exerted a slight force, and a cracking sound was heard, especially clear in the silent arena.
It was the sound of a broken cervical vertebra and a shattered Adam's apple.
Wu Kedi let out a shrill scream, then his head tilted to the side, and his whole body convulsed.
Jun Wuxie casually threw Wu Kedi out.
His body flew directly off the dueling stage and landed below, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Wu Kedi's body, which had fallen to the ground, was still twitching and spasming, curled up like a shrimp.
His eyes were wide open, and his face had no other expression, only his body convulsing, blood foam dripping from his mouth, and it was clear he wouldn't survive.
"Kedi!"
The Wu family's higher-ups were incomparably furious, their eyes filled with bloodshot veins, their anger soaring to the sky, staring fixedly at Jun Wuxie on the stage, and said in a cold voice: "You actually killed him!"
"It seems that's the case."
Jun Wuxie said calmly.
"You... you will pay ten times the price for this!"
The Wu family's people were hysterical, having lost their usual composure.
"Then come on. I am issuing a challenge to your Wu family team, or rather, it's not even a challenge, you don't have the qualifications.
Come up, I'll allow the four of you remaining to come together."
His expression and words were always as calm as water, without any fluctuations.
"Do you know who is behind us..."
The Wu family's higher-up wanted to say, "Do you know who is behind us," but stopped halfway.
They worked for the Lanling Royal Mansion, hiding their identities here to monitor the garrison, and their identities could not be exposed, otherwise the higher-ups would definitely not spare them.
The people who had come back to their senses continued to hold their breath, their hearts shaken beyond words.
That young man from the Apricot Blossom Village team actually directly asked the remaining four members of the Wu family team to come up together.
What kind of strength and confidence was this?
While the Wu family was angry, they all remained silent about this.
They were very clear that this person was too strong, and even if the four of them joined forces, it was impossible for them to be his opponent.
Just as they were silent, Jun Wuxie's calm voice rang out: "I have already completed the challenge rules procedure, whether you come up or not is not up to you to decide."
As soon as the words fell, his figure rushed towards the location of the Wu family like a gust of wind, pulling up a trail of afterimages.
It was too fast, so fast that people were dazzled and couldn't see how he was moving at all, only able to see some afterimages flashing.
Immediately, there was a burst of shock, anger, and roars from the Wu family's side.
The next moment, the four members of the Wu family team were thrown onto the dueling stage.
"You're courting death!"
The head of the Wu family was furious, his killing intent blazing fiercely.
This person was so domineering, directly running to their doorstep and throwing his family's team participants onto the dueling stage.
The head of the Wu family immediately took action, his eyes full of ferocity, wanting to kill Jun Wuxie with his palm.
However, before he could hit his target, he felt an indescribable terrifying force bombard his body, causing his entire person to instantly fall to the ground, his internal organs shattered, all his bones broken, a large mouthful of blood gushing out, struggling a few times, unable to stand up, and letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
"You go to hell for me!"
The Wu family's higher-ups, seeing the family head beaten like this, immediately flew into a rage and rushed towards Jun Wuxie, launching a siege against him.
A wisp of golden sword wave spread, obliterating all of their attacks.
Then, in their horrified eyes, the sword wave swept across their necks, and more than a dozen heads flew high, and from the necks of the headless corpses, blood spurted out like a fountain.
People were all frightened by this bloody and cruel scene.
No one had expected that such a thing would happen in the Heaven-Sent Battle competition.
That young man from the Apricot Blossom Village team actually killed all of the Wu family's higher-ups in public.
Throughout the entire process, he had only flicked a finger lightly, yet he possessed such peerless killing power, a power that made people fear and tremble.
On the dueling stage, the four Wu family participants who had been thrown up there were already so frightened that their legs had gone weak.
The blood spurting from the headless necks of the family elders gave them an unparalleled visual and psychological impact.
This cruel and bloody scene, as well as the fate of the family's higher-ups, almost caused them to collapse.
