Upon seeing Kuanglan Liedi's head, Ji Changkong staggered and nearly lost his balance.
"Young Master." The woman stepped forward to help him up.
"It's nothing." Ji Changkong waved his hand gently, his face seemingly pale.
The woman stood aside, looking at the young master, and felt that at this moment, the young master seemed to have aged ten years.
It's not just about physical aging, but a complete blow to one's spirit and energy.
"He..." Ji Changkong paused, his tone somewhat strained, "Is that really what he said?"
The woman remained silent, but her silence had already given Ji Changkong his answer.
Shen Huiqing arrived with the two old heads, along with Chen Ping'an's words.
"Is Young Master Ji satisfied with this result? If not, Lord Chen may present Young Master Ji with another generous gift!"
Shen Huiqing's voice was clear and pleasant, like warm sunshine, but the meaning behind her words sent chills down one's spine.
Even at the cost of lives that could shatter the earth, it still wasn't enough! If the young master is not satisfied, Mang Dao has another great gift prepared for him?
A grand gift? What grand gift!
Could it be that the young master
The woman glanced at Ji Changkong, and an absurd thought arose in her mind.
Impossible! How could he dare? How could he possibly dare!
The woman paused, but a deep worry appeared in her eyes.
"Do you know the specifics of the battle?" Ji Changkong remained silent for a long time before finally asking this question.
Both Kuanglan Ke and Liedi Sou are figures whose combat power touches the heavens and earth. If the two were to join forces, even a Grandmaster of the Heavens and Earth might not be able to defeat them.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out how Chen Ping'an had killed them.
Even at his peak, Chen Ping'an's combat strength was only close to that of the Wind and Cloud Realm. In the past month or two, even if he made a great breakthrough, it shouldn't have reached this level.
Even if their combat strength reaches the level of Fengyun, and they join forces with Shen Huiqing, they still shouldn't be able to kill the two elders.
Chen Ping'an
How did it do it?
Ji Changkong's expression was gloomy, as if a hundred claws were scratching at his heart.
The name Chen Ping'an had become an obsession in his mind.
Why? Why?
How could Chen Ping'an, a mere mortal, a lowly creature who rose from the dust, have achieved what he has today?
Reaching a level of combat power that he has yet to achieve!?
How could a lowly person born from the mud be worthy of a noblewoman like Qingcheng?
To him, noble ladies and legitimate daughters of prominent families should be like celestial beings.
What merit or ability does he possess to be worthy of such a powerful weapon?
At this moment, amidst his turbulent emotions, Ji Changkong truly broke down.
The defenses were breached to the point that his birth chart revealed the most despicable aspects of his being that he least wanted to confront.
Judging by their background, it means that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot compete with the other party, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot find anything to criticize.
The only thing that can be compared is his background.
They use this to draw upon their pitiful sense of superiority and maintain their despicable self-esteem.
Judging from one's birth background, it has already been proven
He has already lost!
A complete and utter defeat!
Defeated without any chance to fight back!
Despite being ten years older than the average person, possessing the bloodline of a prince, and having countless resources to support him, in the end, he didn't even have the courage to fight against the barbarians!
Ji Changkong sat slumped on the jade steps, his expression lost in thought.
This was the first time the direct descendant of the most noble and powerful prince of the Bicang County had shown such weakness and dejection.
"Young Master." The woman stood beside him, her eyes filled with heartache.
She gently bent down, her dark blue robes billowing, wanting to embrace the frail and powerless young master before her. She reached out her hand, lingering in mid-air for a long time, ultimately unable to take it any further.
"Young Master, no matter what, Ning'er will stay by your side until the last moment of my life."
The woman withdrew her hand and quietly stayed by the man's side.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
"What? The Raging Wave is dead?"
Cao Penghai's eyes were wide open, his gaze filled with horror.
"Were the two heads sent to Ji Changkong's residence by Shen Huiqing?"
Cao Penghai's voice was filled with shock, his blood surging and shaking the surroundings. He had cultivated a body-strengthening martial art, and his blood and qi were already stable, but this was the first time he had experienced instability.
A raging storm ripped through the earth—who is this person?!
Before he even reached the Grandmaster level, the two of them had already made a name for themselves, and now their fame has spread far and wide, resounding throughout the Azure Land, making them the top-tier combat force among martial arts Grandmasters.
Below the Grandmaster level, they are virtually invincible! If the two of them join forces, they can even contend with the Grandmaster level?
Such a person, and now.
They actually told him he was dead!?
If it weren't for this incident, which many people witnessed firsthand and confirmed repeatedly, they would probably have dismissed it as a rumor.
"Just what kind of combat power does that Mang Dao possess, that it can cleave the earth and split the waves, leaving no way to escape? Is it because someone is acting as an accomplice, or is Mang Dao's power as brilliant as the sun, already capable of ascending to the position of the most powerful and influential!"
Cao Penghai's expression was solemn, and there was no longer any trace of his former contempt in his eyes.
If the raging storm was truly cleaved by Mang Dao alone, even with external protection, such combat power would probably be considered top-tier even on the leaderboard!
It is possible to force the raging waves to split the earth and not even have a chance to escape. Even a grandmaster of the wind and clouds may not be able to do this!
If that's the case, when the next Hidden Dragon Ranking is updated, Mang Dao's ranking will likely be...
Cao Penghai was deeply shaken and wanted to inform Elder Heiyan of this news as quickly as possible.
If Mang Dao's talent truly reaches such a level, then his status in the Zhenfu Division will likely rise dramatically. Neither the Canglong Gu family nor Gu Tianren would allow such a prodigy to perish in the Xuanling Land.
If they are truly dead, then it would likely be an irreconcilable feud.
The Gu family patriarch, once a divine swordsman, is now old and nearing the end of his lifespan. Rumor has it that due to the backlash from his hidden injuries, he can no longer maintain his divine power.
Even if a celestial being is old and frail, he is still a celestial being!
Moreover, he was a once-renowned second-realm celestial being!
Now that his lifespan is nearing its end, if he were to truly go mad, who would dare to easily disregard him?
Cao Penghai's mind raced. This matter concerned the cultivation of the Upper Realm and the Martial Dao Celestial Being, which was not something he could interfere with at the moment. What he could do now was to report this matter to Elder Heiyan and the sect as soon as possible.
"Someone, inform me immediately if the elder emerges from seclusion!"
"Yes."
News of Kuanglan Liedi's death spread rapidly throughout Xuanling City. Many people witnessed Shen Huiqing bringing Kuanglan Liedi's head to their door; such a thing, like a leaky dam, could not be stopped.
Xuanling Prefecture Garrison Command.
"A cataclysmic upheaval, and he's dead?"
Tie Cangshan was shocked, and his usually steady hand was now trembling slightly.
Leng Yunhe's face was pale, as if he had just recovered from the shocking news.
"Kuanglan Liedi, renowned for many years, how could he die so easily? Is there some hidden story behind this? Even with Shen Huiqing's help, Mangdao's strength wouldn't have been enough to kill either of these two!"
An Futai's expression froze. The large, round bead he had been holding in his hand had fallen to the ground, its whereabouts unknown. He listened to the conversations of the people in the hall, his face grave, his thoughts unreadable.
After a long while, he finally let out a deep sigh and looked up at the sky.
"Fortunately, fortunately, Mang Dao has only been in Xuanling for a short time and has not yet made enemies with him. Otherwise, given this fiend's nature, there would probably be nowhere for us to stay in the entire Xuanling region!"
The Bi Cang Prince's Mansion controls the entire Bi Cang Prefecture, its influence extending to seventeen prefectures. Such power is truly domineering. Ji Changkong, a descendant of the Prince's Mansion, is one of the most outstanding young talents of his time, holding a revered position. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by a crowd, treated like a star.
But with Mang Dao, Ji Changkong's influence was less effective than that of a woman.
What kind of prince of the Azure Sky, an outstanding junior? He just said he wouldn't sell his sword and that's it.
Now, their actions are not just a matter of saving face, but a direct slap in the face to Bi Cang Wangsun and Ji Changkong.
Kuang Lan Lie Di was a first-class guest elder of the Bi Cang County Prince's Mansion. Such a figure was rare even among Grandmasters within the Bi Cang County Prince's Mansion. If he were to perish here, it would be a significant loss even for the faction behind Ji Chang Kong.
Even so, Mang Dao still killed him without any hesitation, just as the rumors say, Mang Dao never considers the consequences of his actions.
I had previously thought he was just a reckless young man, but now that I've truly experienced it, it's quite astonishing.
If the Prince of Bicang's Mansion can't protect against the raging storm, and if they really offend the Mangdao, can the Xuanling Town Guard protect them?
With Mang Dao's current talent, he has displayed such sharpness that even the Prince of Bicang's mansion would have to think twice before standing up for him.
After An Futai finished speaking, the people in the hall remained silent. Someone, understanding the underlying meaning, couldn't help but shiver. "Brawler's Blade"
Xuanling City, the seat of Xiaguang Prefecture.
Lan Taiwen looked shaken, holding a book and a secret letter, and sat behind the large table in the public room.
He stared at the information in front of him for a long time, still unable to fully recover.
With their combined strength and ability to withstand storms and cleave the earth, they have been renowned for many years. When they join forces, they can withstand any adversity.
These rumors were widespread, and most of the influential figures within the Bicang region knew about them. Even he, after witnessing the power of Kuanglan Liedi, had to admit that the opponent's combat strength was probably slightly superior to his own.
If the two of them join forces, he probably has no chance of winning.
But this is the situation.
The two of them actually died at Chen Ping'an's hands?
Although the specific details are unknown, the two heads are genuine, and in front of everyone, Shen Huiqing delivered them to the residence of Princess Changkong, the grandson of the Prince of Bicang.
If the raging storm truly resulted in Chen Ping'an's death, then...
Lan Taiwen's face was grave, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Ping'an was able to kill Kuanglan Liedi, so if someone wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't have any power to resist.
"I wonder if I have offended Chen Ping'an in any way?"
Lantai Wen's thoughts shifted as he carefully recalled the past.
As I pondered, scenes from the past came to mind one by one.
Only now did he truly understand why Yuanhai Tower and Bicang Chamber of Commerce had become friends with Chen Ping'an.
Such terrifying talent—who wouldn't want to befriend them and establish a good relationship beforehand?
With Chen Ping'an's talent and martial arts prowess, victory is practically guaranteed!
All that's required is the number of years and months.
Given enough time and with sufficient accumulation of skill, the realm of transcendence will likely be within reach in no time!
Lan Wentai was lost in thought, his mind filled with unspoken emotions.
Although the exact details of Chen Ping'an's feat of cleaving the raging waves and splitting the earth are still unclear, the story has spread throughout Xuanling City as if it were a done deal.
There was a lot of noise and conflicting opinions.
"Gentlemen, on that day, I was outside Xuanling City and happened to witness this scene."
"What? Fellow Daoist was actually there. Please tell me more about it."
"Of course, of course! That day..."
"."
"Who was it that said Mang Dao's seclusion was just an excuse? Step forward, and let me have my say?"
"I once said that our Lord Chen is a man of brilliant talent and extraordinary ability, a true prodigy of our time. His previous seclusion must have been for some profound insights. Look at him now, emerging from seclusion with such a greatly increased combat power. His current stature is enough to place him on the list of legendary grandmasters!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
The Grandmaster Ranking lists seventy-two legendary grandmasters, each a figure who stirs up a storm.
Being able to make it onto the list of top masters is not the most terrifying thing. What is terrifying is that Mang Dao is still under twenty-eight years old.
"Not even twenty-eight years old, yet already showing signs of making the list! Even across the vast northern border, if we consider a century as a span, there are probably only a handful of people like him in this generation!"
"A grandmaster of the Wind and Cloud!"
"."
The city was in turmoil, with various factions stirring, and a raging storm raged, causing widespread destruction and profound repercussions.
However, this matter did not affect Chen Ping'an, who was already outside Xuanling City and had traveled to the valley.
"Miss Lan, how much further is it?"
Chen Ping'an's body shimmered with azure light as he maintained the ultimate speed of a Grandmaster, soaring through the sky.
Given the combat power he has displayed in battle, it is not surprising that he has such a speed of escape.
On the other hand, Lan Yingjun on the other side also displayed an extremely impressive speed.
Even compared to his public persona, he is no less impressive.
"Several hundred miles ahead." Lan Yingjun's black robes fluttered, and his body shimmered with a ghostly green light.
"Okay," Chen Pingan replied.
That's quite fast, covering hundreds of miles.
The death of Kuanglan Liedi was merely a minor incident for him, and it did not affect his current state of mind in the slightest.
All he can think about now is the Five Poisons Earthly Fiend Palm transaction.
In fact, if he hadn't intentionally controlled the display of his strength beforehand, even if they joined forces, they wouldn't have lasted a single move against him.
In the previous battles, he displayed the perfected level of the Overlord Blade, the perfected level of the Soaring Dragon Body Technique, and the near-mastered level of the Void Wind Control Step. When he finally revealed his true abilities, he even displayed the entry-level level of the Raging Thunder Blade Technique, which merged with the Overlord Blade to unleash a world-shaking strike.
From beginning to end, the two sides exchanged blows for roughly twenty or thirty moves.
Even if such methods were known to the outside world, the assessment of his combat strength, though somewhat unexpected, would still be within the realm of common sense.
With the help of spiritual objects such as the Jade Spirit Fruit and the Luowen Fruit, coupled with his natural talent, and after years of secluded cultivation, it is not surprising that his combat power has greatly improved since he emerged from seclusion.
He was already a prodigy of his time, with extraordinary talent, and now he has made great progress. Even if he is exceptionally talented, I wouldn't bother to ask him the details.
Even those who harbor doubts, suspecting that he is hiding his talents and concealing his abilities, would never imagine, however bold, that he has now broken through the barrier between heaven and man and ascended to the realm of heaven and man.
He is not an ordinary martial arts master, but a master whose realm has reached the perfection of the first realm. His spiritual power is comparable to that of a senior master in the second realm. He has a lot of killing power and protection methods. He can probably hold his own against anyone below the Hidden Radiance Realm!
Before his previous breakthrough, he might not have had such confidence. But now, with his realm further enhanced, he has integrated various cultivation techniques and secret skills to create the Illusionary Eye.
Furthermore, there are also true protective objects like the Dream Pearl, which, under the second divine power, protect oneself.
As long as he doesn't encounter someone with extraordinary talent and perfected second realm, or a seasoned second realm celestial being wielding a protective treasure, he can protect himself without worry given his current resources.
The previous interaction with the celestial beings not only broadened his horizons and understanding, but also deepened his assessment of combat capabilities.
With his current strength, even if he couldn't kill an ordinary Celestial Being, defeating one wouldn't be difficult.
Chen Ping'an composed himself and used his escape light to follow Lan Yingjun forward.
The mountains below are continuous and steep.
A thousand miles outside Xuanling City, amidst the mountains, several figures flew away.
"Brother Wang, it was a great pleasure to travel with you this time. We have gained a lot from this grand event in Xuanling!"
"Brother Ge, you're too kind. It's just a matter of fate and good fortune."
"Haha, Brother Wang, are you serious?"
Several figures flew through the mountains, talking to each other.
Just as they flew over a mountain peak, an invisible suction force appeared out of nowhere.
"not good!"
"what is this?"
"."
The group gasped in alarm. The suction force below was so strong that even with their true energy circulating, they could not resist it in the slightest. Their bodies plummeted forward like kites with broken strings.
The two had initially remained calm and tried various methods to escape. However, as their methods proved ineffective, they completely lost their composure and panicked.
"who?"
As they fell, some people saw a man in a lotus robe below, his figure unfolding like a demonic lotus, with lotus rings swirling behind him, creating terrifying shockwaves.
"This is."
The man looked terrified and wanted to say more, but then his mind sank and he was plunged into complete darkness.
