Apart from Xia Dalian, everyone else naturally screamed out again, spraying Sikong Jing with spit and pressuring him to kneel quickly.
As long as he kneeled, they could leave.
"I, Sikong Jing, will never kneel to my defeated subordinates,"
Sikong Jing coldly ignored these people’s shouting, and responded, "But if you can beat me, it’s not that I cannot kneel."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei’s face stiffened.
"Are you really afraid of losing to me, a mere Spirit Martial Root and unarmed at that?" Sikong Jing taunted Gu Wei.
All at once, Gu Wei’s face turned beet red.
Sikong Jing had already lost to him before he had broken through to the Innate Realm; there was no chance of winning if they fought now.
"Is this all a student of the Xingluo Palace amounts to?" Sikong Jing mocked again.
Stimulated by these words, Gu Wei went mad, knowing full well that Sikong Jing was goading him, but he couldn’t stand the humiliation.
Each student of the Xingluo Palace was a genius, each with their own pride.
And now it wasn’t just him alone; his family’s people were around him.
Gu Wei’s family was not just him; there were other direct descendants, and if this incident were spread back home, his brothers and sisters would laugh at him.
The family had sponsored him to attend the Xingluo Palace, but to not even defeat someone with a Spirit Martial Root would be laughable.
Gu Wei was gasping heavily, and suddenly roared, "You think I don’t dare?"
With that, he violently took out an Elixir and swallowed it. Then, True Qi exploded from his body with a bang as he broke through from the Martial Scripture Realm to the Martial Body Realm, crazily reaching the Sixth Realm.
After getting it done, he glared intently at Sikong Jing.
"This Chongyuan Pill is something I’ve been reluctant to use; you forced my hand."
"Once I kill you, I can become an Inner Palace Student, and all the side effects from the Chongyuan Pill will be resolved," he continued.
"Now, as you wish, I’ll personally slap you down to the ground, personally ensuring your head falls," he declared.
Finishing his words, Gu Wei stepped forward. His Martial Body Realm Sixth Realm True Qi pressed down crazily on Sikong Jing before he suddenly launched an attack.
"Ajing, be careful," Su Zhenglong couldn’t help but shout out loud.
But Sikong Jing’s lips curled into a slight smirk as he met Gu Wei with a punch.
The next instant, the True Qi of the Martial Body Realm that was exploding crazily on Gu Wei’s body "bang" burst apart, and a tremendous fist landed heavily on his chest.
With a crack, the bones in Gu Wei’s chest broke and he let out a scream.
But it didn’t stop there. Sikong Jing quickly caught up to the retreating form of Gu Wei, grabbed him by the throat, gently lifted him in the middle of the arena, and held him up high, scorning the entire audience!
One after another, the experts from the Gu Family widened their eyes, ready to rush forward, but they immediately stopped in their tracks.
Because Gu Wei’s life was now in Sikong Jing’s hands.
Afterward, the entire audience rose, apart from the people from the Canglong Domain, each of them stunned and agape.
Gu Wei, after breaking through to the Sixth Realm of the Martial Body Realm, was still instantly taken down by Sikong Jing; wasn’t this guy just a newly advanced Spirit Martial Root from the Martial Acupoint Realm? How could he be so strong?
The people from the Canglong Domain were naturally shocked as well, the Invincible God General Sikong Jing had won again.
This is the Long Night Empire, not the Canglong Small Domain!
"I’m sorry, but I am now in the Innate Martial Scripture Realm already,"
Sikong Jing held Gu Wei aloft with one hand, his voice emotionless as he spoke.
All of a sudden, the struggle ceased, and Gu Wei was left speechless, with only his eyes wide open in shock.
A few breaths later, he roared, "Impossible, you’re just a Spirit Martial Root!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Sikong Jing replied, "My Spirit Martial Root can break through to the Martial Acupoint Realm, and naturally, it can also reach the Martial Scripture Realm, and who knows, maybe soon I will even reach the Martial Arts Sect Realm or even the Xuantian Five Realms."
Each word uttered threw Gu Wei into complete disarray. Why was this Spirit Martial Root different from the others?
After all, Sikong Jing had swallowed the inner core of the Thunder Winged Dragon Snake, and had reached the Martial Scripture Realm on his way here. With this breakthrough, he now had the confidence to face this battle.
Next, Sikong Jing spoke coldly, "Now, Gu Wei, your life is in my hands. Can you release the hostages now?"
With these words, the entire place was sharply jolted.
It was only then that they realized Sikong Jing had taken the tables and was now holding Gu Wei as a hostage. Now, what was there left to play with? There was no play left.
Upon hearing Sikong Jing’s words, Gu Wei’s face changed drastically, and he roared to his subordinates, "Someone, kill his mother-in-law first for me."
In an instant, several of Gu Wei’s subordinates charged toward Mei Xiaofang...
The next moment, Sikong Jing fiercely twisted off one of Gu Wei’s fingers, and his cold voice resounded throughout the place, "If you dare touch a single hair on my mother-in-law’s head, I will make Gu Wei’s life a living hell."
Another crisp sound followed as Sikong Jing twisted off a second finger of Gu Wei’s.
Afterward, Sikong Jing’s hand pressed against Gu Wei’s Dantian, "If you don’t release her now, I’ll destroy his Dantian first."
The moment this statement was made, all of Gu Wei’s subordinates were completely petrified, staring at him with indecisive and alarmed expressions... If Gu Wei’s Dantian were destroyed, all the effort and resources his family had invested in him would be in vain.
And Gu Wei himself was so frightened that the hair on his body stood on end—the thought of his Dantian being destroyed was more painful than death itself.
By that time, every person he had trampled could come back to trample on him, including everyone he had bullied back in his hometown.
Suddenly, Gu Wei’s gaze fell on a man in white and he screamed for help, "Young Master Qian, save me quickly!"
Young Master Qian had a smile on his face as he played with the Golden Soul Palace medal that belonged to Sikong Jing, "I can, but the price has to go up."
Gu Wei’s expression froze, and he gritted his teeth, "I don’t have anything that Young Master Qian would fancy!"
"You do, you certainly do."
Young Master Qian replied with a smile, "After killing this person, I will need you to speak well of me and my Qian Family in front of Palace Master Yu. Additionally, after you become an Inner Palace Student, the first one million points are also to be mine."
Like the Xingluo Palace, the Long Night Star Palace also had its Task Hall, and points as well.
And the first one million points of an Inner Palace Student could accomplish many, many things.
Young Master Qian was not on the same level as Gu Wei—the former was a scion of a family from the Long Night Imperial City, while the latter was just a student from a city within the Long Night Empire studying at the Long Night Star Palace...
The reason Gu Wei was able to catch Young Master Qian’s attention was that by killing Sikong Jing, he could become an Inner Palace Student.
And given the current situation, Young Master Qian naturally wanted to maximize his benefits.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wei’s eyes widened; even for an Inner Palace Student, one million points was not a small sum. But at this juncture, he had no choice but to compromise and he agreed heavily, "No problem, I agree."
As soon as the words fell, Young Master Qian slowly rose, "Someone, save Mr. Gu."
Instantly, two figures appeared—both middle-aged men, both of them at the Xuantian Realm...
The moment they appeared, they immobilized Sikong Jing.
At that moment, Sikong Jing’s eyes were sparkling as he looked towards Young Master Qian and said, "I offer two million points from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace for you not to intervene, how about that?"
As soon as these words were said, Young Master Qian immediately stopped the two middle-aged men, asking, "You became a student of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace?"
