Chapter 686 - You Really Want to Torture Me?
Sikong Yan did not treat Qi Yanshan seriously at all. As the fire dragon pounced at him, he punched out with his fist.
With one punch, a dazzling fire radiance shot up to the sky and the mighty fire property strength threatened to melt the Plane. The immense fist power could be felt by everyone.
Boom!
The fiery fist collided against the fire dragon and the fire dragon immediately broke apart, turning into flames that licked the earth. The flames scattered everywhere and soon spread across the surroundings, heading for the various pavilions.
There was a Martial Royal Realm expert standing guard at each pavilion and even the weakest pavilion had an Advanced Martial King martial artist standing guard. They destroyed the flaming fireballs with a wave of their hands.
"He's so strong?" Qi Yanshan's face was grave. He could gauge Sikong Yan's strength through that one move, but this only fuelled his desire to win.
Did being born with a fire spiritual body really make Sikong Yan undefeatable?
He was considered highly talented when it came to fire-property skills and had been cultivating martial arts techniques of that property for dozens of years. No one across the young generation at East Continent had a better grasp on fire property martial arts techniques than he did.
Yet, Sikong Yan had appeared, a natural fire spiritual body.
He was just not convinced that Sikong Yan was stronger just because of that, and he swore that he would defeat Sikong Yan in front of everyone to prove his point. Even without a fire spiritual body, no one else would be able to match his prowess at fire property martial art techniques.
"Die!" Qi Yanshan roared and tiny fire dragons burst forth from the spear in his hand and flew like lightning to attack Sikong Yan's vital points.
Boom!
Unfortunately, those fire dragons were not even able to get near Sikong Yan as they all broke apart the moment his fist radiance reached them.
"If you've got a trump card, use it now! Give it all you've got! If you can knock me back by just one step, I'll take it that you've won!" Sikong Yan said proudly as he stood tall and commanding in the square, looking like an emperor who was completely in control of the situation.
He did not make any move to attack, but let Qi Yanshan do all the attacking.
"How arrogant!" Qi Yanshan fumed. Sikong Yan's words were a great insult to him.
He would be considered the winner just by knocking Sikong Yan back one step?
Where was the honor and glory in this!
He did not want to win in this manner at all!
The crowd was equally taken aback by Sikong Yan's words.
"Sikong Yan is really arrogant!"
"He indeed has the strength to back up his arrogance!"
"Sikong Yan was born with a fire spiritual body. If he could just advance to the Lv 8 True Darkness Realm, he would definitely be ranked among the top 10, no, even top 5 on the List!"
Sikong Yan's arrogant stance created a buzz in the crowd.
Yet, no one thought that Sikong Yan was being too pompous. He had the right to be so arrogant given his talents!
Su Mo was speechless and shook his head inwardly. Sikong Yan might be powerful, but his temperament was not that great. He was too prone to boasting, which would not be befitting of the descendant of Firescorching Palace.
Even if he was selected as the descendant, Su Mo would need to thoroughly tame him and show him who the boss was.
Qi Yanshan flew up and looked down coldly at Sikong Yan.
The spear in his hand glowed bright, and countless fire property Dark Force swarmed into his spear.
The next moment, Qi Yanshan made his next move. He started to swivel his spear rapidly and piercing spear radiance burst forth.
Every ray of spear radiance was only as big as a finger but contained massive power. They were all incredibly sharp with the power to pierce through all that stood in their way.
Furthermore, countless such spear radiance dotted the sky like a majestic meteor shower and shot toward Sikong Yan's face.
This move was incredibly powerful with each ray of spear radiance giving off powerful strength. It could easily rip a Half Step to Martial King martial artist into shreds.
Sikong Yan remained calm and a humongous fireball suddenly appeared behind him.
This humongous fireball enveloped him within so it looked as if his whole body was aflame. A scorching heat wave swept across the surroundings.
Even as they stood 10 kilometers away from the square, the crowd still felt the immense heat. Their pavilions start to melt rapidly.
Fortunately, there was experts in every pavilion. They quickly intervened and prevented their respective pavilions from collapsing.
Sikong Yan, the source of this terrifying heat, had reached a scalding temperature, enough to melt gold.
Qi Yanshan's spear radiance were all destroyed even before they got within 6 meters of him.
"What? Is he this terrifying?"
Qi Yanshan turned pale with shock. He realized that he had underestimated the strength of a fire spiritual body.
"Qi Yanshan, I have already given you three chances. Now, it is time for you to be defeated!" Sikong Yan grew impatient and spat out these words coldly. He immediately attacked.
"Divine Fire Fist!"
Sikong Yan punched out directly and the fiery fist radiance was as dazzling as the sun and tore the air apart, heading with incredible speed toward Qi Yanshan.
To no one's surprise, no matter how hard Qi Yanshan tried to block that blow, he was still sent flying and was almost burnt to ashes. He had sustained serious injuries.
"Qi Yanshan, do you admit defeat now?" Sikong Yan stood commandingly where he was.
He was full of confidence for he knew that with the exception of the top 10 on the List, no one else would be able to take more than one blow from him.
"Humph!" Qi Yanshan, who was almost burnt to ashes, ignored Sikong Yan and flew resentfully back to his pavilion.
The crowd was amazed. They had not expected Sikong Yan to be this powerful and guessed that his strength was now on par with the top 30 on the List!
After he defeated Qi Yanshan with such ease, Sikong Yan's face grew cold. He suddenly turned to look at Su Mo.
"Su Mo, come down and battle me if you consider yourself a man!" Sikong Yan shouted coldly.
Sikong Yan started to regret his actions earlier. He was afraid that his excellent display earlier would scare Su Mo off from accepting his challenge.
Therefore, he could only use his words to goad Su Mo into action.
The crowd fell silent at Sikong Yan's words!
Was there enmity between Sikong Yan and Su Mo as well?
A lot of the people there were speechless. Su Mo seemed to have bad relations with Ji Wenyao, Lei Peng and now even Sikong Yan!
Just how many people did this Su Mo offend?
Ji Wenyao's and Lei Peng's strength were just not worth mentioning in the face of Sikong Yan's powerful might.
Su Mo might be incredibly strong and could defeat both these geniuses instantly, but there was no way he would be able to defeat Sikong Yan!
No one believed that Su Mo could defeat Sikong Yan. Even Hong Qingxuan was not certain if Su Mo could emerge victorious!
Sikong Yan was just too strong after all!
Everyone's gaze fell upon Su Mo, waiting for him to make his decision. They were all sure that Su Mo would accept the challenge.
As a unparalleled genius, if he refused to accept the challenge just because his opponent was too strong, then there would be a huge stain on his reputation and his resolve that he was unbeaten.
Su Mo looked up at Sikong Yan's words and steadily met his gaze.
"You really want to torture me?" Su Mo smiled as he asked calmly.
