Zhou Yue looked at Qiuu Ming, who had fallen to the ground, her heart filled with anxiety. The tears in her eyes seemed on the verge of spilling over.
"This Sheng Ao is truly amazing. He defeated Qiuu Ming, who's at the Destruction First Layer Heaven, in a single move."
A man watched Sheng Ao, unable to stop himself from exclaiming in admiration.
The woman beside him raised the corners of her lips and said, "Shuang, Chu Bufan was my father's most prized disciple of the previous generation. And in this generation, Brother Sheng was the disciple my father favored most. It's a pity he was snatched away by Hua Lie and became a disciple of Absolute Peak. My father always says that in twenty years, he'll be the Celestial Profound Sect's next Chu Bufan."
These two were none other than Nie Shuang and Tangg Jin.
Qiuu Ming slowly climbed to his feet and sighed helplessly in his heart. 'The gap between us is just too vast,' he thought. 'I'm completely powerless to resist.'
Sheng Ao toyed with the ring on his finger, looked at Qiuu Ming, and said flatly, "What? Are you going to admit defeat?"
Qiuu Ming was taken aback by Sheng Ao's words, his eyes showing a trace of confusion as he looked at him.
"Since you were the one who drew my name, I don't want this to be a wasted trip. As it happens, my Bursting Law from the Dao of Profound Destruction, which I've been cultivating for a long time, has seen some improvement. You can help me test it out."
As Sheng Ao spoke, his gaze turned abruptly cold. Boundless Primordial Qi gathered, causing the surrounding air to tremble and crackle. Then, a massive Palm Seal shot toward Qiuu Ming.
In an instant, everyone felt an immense pressure.
Among the Laws of the Dao of Profound Destruction, the most formidable was the Bursting Law. When this Primordial Qi was unleashed, it would detonate upon contact with an opponent. It was incredibly powerful, with devastating killing potential.
Before Qiuu Ming could even react, Sheng Ao's palm strike was already upon him.
"BOOM!"
A deafening roar echoed, mixed with the chilling sound of detonating Primordial Qi. Qiuu Ming's body was sent flying like a piece of paper in an explosion, leaving a trail of blood across the Three Pristine Platform.
"Qiuu Ming!"
Zhou Yue leaped into action, rushing directly toward him.
For a moment, the crowd was filled with sighs and shaking heads. The gap in their strength was simply too great. That Qiuu Ming was just unlucky to have drawn Sheng Ao.
"Qiuu Ming's challenge fails!"
The Main Peak Steward shook his head and announced loudly.
"What a waste of my time. If Junior Brother Hua hadn't asked me to 'take good care' of you, I wouldn't have even bothered," Sheng Ao shook his head and snorted, then slowly walked off the platform.
Just then, a person in the crowd below looked at Sheng Ao and smiled gratefully. Sheng Ao returned the smile and continued on his way down.
This person was Hua Du.
'Wen Qingye, I'll make you understand the consequences of offending me. I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life.' The moment Hua Du thought of Wen Qingye's name, he gritted his teeth so hard they audibly gnashed.
When Tangg Jin saw Sheng Ao step down, she smiled. "Brother Sheng, your strength has been growing more and more profound lately."
Nie Shuang also forced a smile. Looking at the man before him, then at Qiuu Ming still lying on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Sheng Ao didn't even glance at Nie Shuang. Instead, he faced Tangg Jin, a glint in his eyes, and said with a meaningful smile, "No, what's true is that Senior Sister Tangg grows more captivating by the day."
WHOOSH!
Nie Shuang felt a nameless rage surge to the top of his head.
Hearing Sheng Ao's words, Tangg Jin gave a dry laugh and glanced at Nie Shuang beside her. His head was lowered slightly, but his eyes had turned completely crimson, and his fists were clenched tightly.
'Utter trash,' Sheng Ao thought with disdain, giving Nie Shuang a cold glance before turning his smiling gaze back to Tangg Jin.
And at that moment, Wen Qingye arrived.
When Wen Qingye arrived, Zhou Yue was holding Qiuu Ming's body, transfusing Primordial Qi into him. Seeing this, Wen Qingye scanned his surroundings. The size of the crowd was something he had rarely seen since joining the Seven Peaks. Moreover, the cultivation of those present was not low. He couldn't help but frown. 'Is today some kind of major event?'
Tangg Jin was growing impatient with Sheng Ao's words but found it difficult to refuse him outright. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Wen Qingye?"
Sheng Ao also heard Tangg Jin and followed her gaze. A hint of curiosity appeared in his deep-set eyes.
When Nie Shuang heard Tangg Jin, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but lift his head to look.
Seeing Wen Qingye about to turn away, Tangg Jin couldn't help but shout, "Wen Qingye! It's been a while! Hope you've been well!"
"Wen Qingye?"
Hearing Tangg Jin's words, many of the surrounding Core Disciples were stunned.
How could they not have heard of Wen Qingye? He had emerged out of nowhere at the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, slain several young talents from Taiyi Pavilion in one fell swoop, and even forced one of Taiyi Pavilion's Seven Venerables, Hankong, to flee in disarray. Finally, he had escaped with his life while being hunted by Lim Tian. His fame was so great that he was already beginning to make a name for himself in the Eastern Profound Domain.
And although he later won the Returning Fragrance Pill on Danxuan Peak, in the eyes of some disciples, that was merely child's play. What was widely acknowledged, however, was that he had offended people from both Absolute Peak and Danxuan Peak.
But now, Wen Qingye had appeared on the Three Pristine Platform, where there were many experts from Absolute Peak and Danxuan Peak. They wouldn't let Wen Qingye off easily. How long had he even been a Core Disciple? Everyone felt that Wen Qingye was simply out of his depth.
From a distance, Mo Qing heard the crowd's murmurs and looked over. The moment she saw Wen Qingye, she felt her whole body tremble, and she bit her silver teeth in frustration.
"Wen Qingye, you bastard, you finally showed up."
Ever since that incident, Mo Qing had been unable to get Wen Qingye out of her mind, searching for his whereabouts everywhere. But Wen Qingye had been cultivating on Life Peak without leaving, so how could she possibly have found him?
"Heh, so you've finally appeared?"
Just as Tangg Jin was about to speak, a loud shout came from the side.
Wen Qingye turned his head and looked. He saw Hua Du standing there ahead, a cold, sinister smile in his eyes as he stared fixedly at him.
"What? Do you want revenge?" Wen Qingye asked with a faint smile.
Hua Du sneered, "Do you know why Qiuu Ming ended up like this? It's all because of you. Otherwise, why would Brother Sheng have bothered tormenting him?"
Hearing Hua Du's words, Wen Qingye's smile vanished, his expression turning cold. "You really don't know what's good for you. If we were outside the Celestial Profound Sect, believe it or not, I would kill you on the spot."
"You dare?" Hua Du suddenly felt a chill run through his body. He gritted his teeth and roared.
"I even dared to kill people from Taiyi Pavilion. What makes you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Wen Qingye looked at Hua Du, a smile playing on his handsome face. But within that smile, a chilling aura radiated, tinged with a faint killing intent.
Seeing Wen Qingye's eyes, Hua Du stumbled back several steps, his heart filled with terror. But then, realizing his own loss of composure, he became furious with shame and shouted, "Who the hell do you think you are, Wen Qingye? You're just a piece of trash! How dare you act so brazenly in front of me?"
SWISH!
Many people present saw Wen Qingye's figure blur. He seemed to transform into a streak of lightning, closing the distance to Hua Du in the blink of an eye.
But while others saw it, Hua Du did not. All he could perceive was a blur before his eyes, and then he couldn't see anything clearly.
SLAP!
A crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears, suddenly reverberating across the Three Pristine Platform.
Wen Qingye's slap sent Hua Du reeling, his head spinning. His mouth opened and closed, his cheek swelling high. He looked completely bewildered, not yet having processed what had just happened.
Him? The son of the Absolute Peak Master had just been slapped.
