Duan Wude's face was grim, and the offerings from the Nine Great Offerings Camp were seething with anger, clearly infuriated by the accusations of "recognizing thieves as masters" and "drawing on others' cultivation." At that moment, Duan Wude truly wanted to rush down and kill Zhao Yang on the spot. However, with Sect Leader Ji Wudao and the Three Elders present, he knew that if he acted against Zhao Yang, he would surely meet his own demise. Thus, he could only suppress his rage, sitting in his seat as if he had seen and heard nothing.
"Well done!" Scholar Xiu stood up indignantly, shouting with righteous fervor. "Ungrateful, betraying friends, overestimating oneself, recognizing thieves as masters! They deserve to be beaten! Well done!"
As soon as these loud slogans were shouted out, others quickly echoed in response. The crowd was stirred up, their voices rising like a tidal wave.
Slap!
Zhao Yang struck Li Yunshan again, sending him flying through the air. "You call yourself a genius? The Earth Attribute Cultivation Method is not something you can use like this! If I had struck first, you wouldn't even have been able to defend yourself! All Cultivation Methods are the same; it depends on who wields them. In my hands, an ordinary Cultivation Method can unleash celestial powers. Even if you had celestial methods, you wouldn't be able to touch my level!"
Arrogant, proud, domineering! With his early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, he took on a powerful attack from someone in the late Foundation Establishment Stage without dodging or evading! Just a few slaps left the tenth-ranked expert of the Inner Courtyard disoriented!
Puff!
A hand plunged into Li Yunshan's abdomen as Zhao Yang directly crushed Li Yunshan's Qi Sea Foundation Stage, rendering his cultivation useless. He then kicked him to the edge of the challenge platform.
Li Yunshan's expression was one of agony and near collapse. His cultivation was destroyed; he had no hope of standing in the Cultivation world again. All his teeth had been knocked out. This was Zhao Yang—when you were his friend, you were treated like treasure; he gave you countless chances to reconsider and even allowed you to interrupt him mid-sentence or fight over things with him. But betrayal was absolutely intolerable. The outcome of disappointing him was severe humiliation followed by stripping away everything that made the betrayer proud.
"Open your eyes and see what real strength looks like!" Zhao Yang said like a bully, showing no mercy or humility towards Li Yunshan. He then took out a white bone staff from his robe—the very one he had seized from the Outer Sect yesterday.
Zhao Yang looked up at the Nine Great Offerings Camp and called out loudly, "Who's next? Hurry up; we still have lunch to eat after this!"
Shen Gongye narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of ruthlessness flashing through them. He was about to step down when he noticed the Grand Offering from the Second Offering Camp moving forward. His heart skipped a beat as he instinctively stepped aside for her.
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed from the Second Offering Camp as a woman with sharp features and a prominent jaw appeared before everyone. Not only was she unattractive, but she also towered over others with bulging muscles that exuded explosive power. She leaped into the air and landed right in front of Zhao Yang with an imposing stance that resembled a war god kneeling on one knee—a sight both majestic and formidable!
Zhao Yang couldn't help but take a few steps back, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of me?" A coarse voice with a hint of femininity rang in Zhao Yang's ears.
Zhao Yang indeed felt some fear; he remembered being beaten by a strong girl when he was very young—he must have been around six years old at the time. That girl had pounded him until he cried for help, and no one came to save him. Since then, he had harbored a deep-seated fear of such fierce women.
At this moment, it wasn't that he feared being unable to defeat this Grand Offering; rather, he was afraid she would leave him with psychological scars about women—he certainly didn't want anything like that! The fierce woman charged at him like a powerful female gorilla, pounding her chest and roaring loudly.
"My heavens!" Zhao Yang was truly startled. He took a step back, then suddenly leaped off the ground and charged at the Gorilla. The two fists collided, and both retreated a step. Zhao Yang, agile as ever, circled around the Gorilla and jumped above her head, bringing down a bone club with the force of eight thousand pounds onto the Gorilla's head.
"I'll kill you!"
Crack!
The bone club broke with a loud sound!
"What the hell!" Zhao Yang screamed inwardly. Just as he was distracted, a fist the size of half his body came flying towards him, sending him flying.
However, in the next moment, Zhao Yang appeared directly in front of the Gorilla. He positioned himself, wrapping his arms around the Gorilla's thick biceps while using one leg to brace against her foot, attempting to trip her. Yet, the Gorilla exerted her strength and lifted Zhao Yang off the ground.
"Damn it!" Unable to exert any force, Zhao Yang felt dazed, like a small child being carried away by a giant. He helplessly glanced at Long Xiao Wu and Scholar Xiu, who were laughing uncontrollably, as well as Nangong Wuxin on the viewing platform, who was doubled over in laughter.
This wasn't to say that Zhao Yang was weaker than the Gorilla; rather, his point of leverage was too small to affect such a massive opponent. Left with no choice but to abandon a contest of strength, Zhao Yang employed his technique of size manipulation. In an instant, his weight increased by hundreds of thousands of times. The Gorilla was predictably toppled by this sudden shift, and Zhao Yang lightly bounced off her before pressing two fingers down on her pulse. With a thunderous crash, the Gorilla fell backward, collapsing into the rocky ground with her arm buried deep within it. Zhao Yang then jumped onto her head and lightly stepped down again, producing another sound of crumbling stone as blood flowed from the Gorilla's ears and nose; he nearly crushed her skull.
His technique of size manipulation was based on principles of force; any cultivator of force would seem utterly insignificant before him.
He felt a strong aversion towards beings like the Gorilla and was just about to crush her skull when suddenly a woman's voice rang out:
"Stop!"
At that moment, Zhao Yang felt frost beginning to form on his hands, slowing his movements slightly. The temperature in the air plummeted rapidly; what had been sweltering summer heat turned into biting cold within mere seconds, as if he had fallen into an ice cave! A woman slowly raised both hands and soared into the air above the challenge platform like an Immortal.
"Qingxue, don't!" Sixth Elder tried to intervene. He glanced back at Master of the Myriad Spirits Sect beside him and said, "Sect Leader, don't harm her."
Ji Wudao furrowed his brow slightly; a profound light emanated from his palm as he looked at his sixth junior sister before gradually lowering his hand.
Like an Immortal breaking through layers of ice at the bottom of a lake after eons of silence, time seemed to freeze. The temperature around the viewing platform dropped sharply as snowflakes began to fall. The woman named Yu Qingsnow exuded an unparalleled grace that left an indelible impression on everyone present.
Sizzle—
Countless disciples with shallow cultivation levels below began to be covered in frost. In the next moment, they lost consciousness and turned into snowmen, their bodies frozen in positions as if they were still looking at their own hands or arms.
A hand as white as jade struck through the air, colliding with Zhao Yang's palm. A loud explosion echoed as the woman was sent flying through the air, landing on a nearby platform. Zhao Yang also took a step back, his hand covered in frost, ice beginning to form from his wrist.
"Let her go; she is mine!" Yu Qingsnow's voice was cold and emotionless, her stunningly beautiful face betraying no warmth, making it impossible for anyone to approach her.
Zhao Yang raised an eyebrow, using his True Qi to dispel the frost on his arm. He looked at Yu Qingsnow and said, "If you challenge me, be prepared to face death. What does it matter if she is yours?"
Yu Qingsnow's delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she had never been rejected before, leaving her momentarily unsure of how to respond.
"What a fool, refusing Sister Qingxue!"
"Just because of Longyang's favor, she's nothing but a celestial eunuch!"
Some disciples in the late Foundation Establishment Stage were not frozen into snowmen; they trembled all over, stamping their feet and breathing warm air into their hands.
"Don't kill her; I can offer you some benefits." Yu Qingsnow seemed reluctant to break the rules of the challenge, so she softened her tone.
"Miss, don't plead for anyone on behalf of a servant..." Gorilla pulled his head out of the pit, struggling to speak as blood poured from his mouth. Clearly, in the face of such overwhelming power, he was as fragile as a paper doll.
