"What? Kneel down? Has Chu Fengmian lost his mind?"
Yan Gu sneered again and again.
"Don’t think that just because you’ve had some bizarre strokes of luck, you can be so arrogant. The fortune you’ve stumbled upon isn’t even worthy to shine my shoes!"
Chu Fengmian glanced at Yan Gu and then swept his gaze over Mu Ye Battle, scoffing as he spoke.
"Why don’t you two come at me together? Dealing with you one by one is a hassle anyway. Since you’ve come to seek death, let’s make it quick, shall we?"
Chu Fengmian stood aloft with his hands behind his back, speaking coldly, his voice filled with supreme confidence.
His eyes were utterly relaxed, as if he faced no pressure whatsoever.
Chu Fengmian’s statement stunned the numerous Beimang Academy disciples present.
One against two? He even dared to ask Mu Ye Battle to join the fight against Yan Gu?
"This Chu Fengmian, although he is the new King of the rookies of this generation, everyone knows that title is just given to the tallest dwarf. The truly talented disciples, such as Yan Gu and Mu Ye Battle, were handpicked by the Elders and became Inner Sect Disciples, which is why he holds the title."
"That Chu Fengmian is really too arrogant. Now that he’s had some adventures, he thinks he’s the center of the universe."
"Hmph, Chu Fengmian is merely at the limit of Divine Power Stage. Yan Gu and Mu Ye Battle are at the same level and have even learned the Elders’ secret techniques. He doesn’t stand a chance in a one-on-one fight, let alone against two."
"Forget it. Someone as arrogant as him needs to be taught a lesson. It’s one thing to strut around the Outer Sect, but to be so bold in the presence of two top ten Inner Sect individuals, he’s just asking for trouble."
Whispers and discussions erupted all around.
This mountain range was now crowded with countless Beimang Academy disciples, eager to witness the showdown.
Yan Gu and Mu Ye Battle, disciples of an Elder, had attracted a lot of attention with their first move.
As for Chu Fengmian, in their eyes, he was just seeking his own demise.
These Elder’s disciples would sooner or later be promoted to Seed Disciples. Their talents were not bad, and they had reached the limit of the Divine Power Stage.
At the same level, they couldn’t possibly lose to Chu Fengmian.
"Chu Fengmian, show some mercy. A mere lesson will suffice."
Bai Xuan frowned slightly and reminded him from the side.
She also understood that it was these two men who truly did not know the extent of the heavens and the earth, and since things could not end well now, Chu Fengmian would have to show some mercy.
"No worries, I will just teach them a lesson, without really hurting them."
Chu Fengmian spoke calmly.
His tone was as if he didn’t take Yan Gu and Mu Ye Battle seriously at all, as if he could easily handle them any way he wished.
"Big talker! Bai Xuan, do you really think we would be afraid of you? It’s only because we see you’re a woman that we don’t care to make an issue of it."
Yan Gu looked at Bai Xuan, his eyes revealing a hint of lewdness.
"Later, after I take care of this little guy, I’ll take my pleasure with you! A woman like you should belong to a young master like me!"
Bai Xuan looked at Yan Gu, her eyes icily cold, yet she did not make a move.
She understood there was no need for her to act. Yan Gu’s provocation against Chu Fengmian meant he was already as good as dead.
Even if he were immortal, Chu Fengmian would sooner or later teach him a lesson.
"A mere ant dares to act like a king?"
Chu Fengmian looked at Yan Gu and sneered.
His figure suddenly moved, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yan Gu. Without warning, he gathered Spiritual Power and infused it into his palm wind.
With a sudden palm strike, he blasted toward Yan Gu.
"Humph, you dare to be so arrogant with such a petty trick?"
Yan Gu saw Chu Fengmian make his move, his eyes filled with disdain. To him, the palm was nothing more than a crude display of brute strength.
"Chu Fengmian, today I will let you witness what true Martial Arts are, how profound!"
Yan Gu let out a long howl, and from around him, countless streams of Spiritual Power suddenly converged, forming layers of mirrors that fused into his fist wind.
"Jade Mirror King Fist!"
Suddenly, with this punch from Yan Gu, he seemed ready to sweep across the heavens and earth. Layer upon layer of space began to collapse, aiming to smash the area around Chu Fengmian to pieces.
This punch was meant to shatter both Chu Fengmian and the space around him, utterly suppressing Chu Fengmian within the broken spaces.
Chu Fengmian felt the space around him being condensed by a force, as if to be completely sealed, leaving him with no escape, destined to be brutally suppressed.
"Utterly ridiculous."
Chu Fengmian sneered, and his fist roared out, colliding fiercely in the air.
Continuous rumbling sounds erupted, and surging Spiritual Power clashed wildly. In the next moment, the spatial seal that surrounded them was shattered.
Yan Gu’s punch, with all its Spiritual Power, was broken by Chu Fengmian’s fist.
As the two fists met, Yan Gu’s strength began to falter, unable to withstand even an instant longer.
"How is this possible?"
"Yan Gu lost? In a clash of strength, he lost?"
Some of the powerhouses from Beimang Academy flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Chu Fengmian and Yan Gu were at the same realm, the limit of the Divine Power state.
Yet Yan Gu was an Elder’s Disciple and had learned the profound Cultivation Techniques of the Beimang Academy; his strength should be above Chu Fengmian’s.
But now, in this contest of strength, Yan Gu was so thoroughly defeated, an outcome no one could have imagined.
"Damn it, how could his strength be so formidable?"
Yan Gu staggered backward, trying to dissolve the force of Chu Fengmian’s punch, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"It seems I’ve underestimated this lad. But so what, Chu Fengmian, even if your strength is formidable? In front of my Jade Emperor Mirror, all your power will be meaningless!"
Yan Gu roared, and suddenly a mirror appeared behind him.
This mirror, an ancient and simple bronze piece, was immeasurably old and contained profound, mysterious forces.
The power of the Jade Emperor Mirror was incredibly close to the Spiritual Power within Yan Gu’s body, clearly the most fitting Spiritual Artifact for him.
"The Jade Emperor Mirror, this Spiritual Artifact has actually fallen into Yan Gu’s hands?"
Bai Xuan spoke with some surprise from the side.
"The Jade Emperor Mirror, that’s Elder Yu Gui’s prized Spiritual Artifact. Although it’s only an earth-grade top-quality piece, its true power is no less than a genuine heaven-grade Spiritual Artifact; it’s Elder Yu Gui’s life-saving method, yet he gave it to Yan Gu."
