“Jiang Lingxiao, that was just so-so,” Chu Yunfan said nonchalantly as he sheathed his sword.

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan’s words, the Jiang disciples glared at him angrily. Chu Yunfan’s words were simply a slap to their faces. But they could not do anything about it. Chu Yunfan had indeed defeated Jiang Lingxiao in one strike.

They had no way to refute it even if they wanted to.

If Jiang Lingxiao had not been protected by the inner armor, Chu Yunfan would have stabbed him to death with a single strike.

Many of the Jiang disciples had an incomprehensible look on their faces. Before this, everyone thought that Jiang Lingxiao’s victory was already a certain fact and that it was impossible for anyone to defeat him.

Among his peers, he should be invincible. However, they knew what it meant to say that there was always someone better than them.

“The Chus have produced a monster,” one of the guests exclaimed. Everyone knew how powerful Jiang Lingxiao was, but this was the first time that Chu Yunfan had appeared in front of them, or rather, this was the first that they were truly acknowledging him.

“Over the past few years, more and more monstrous geniuses have appeared within the Federation.”

“This is going to be troublesome. Chu Yunfan’s strength is unparalleled, and I don’t know what kind of conquering method he cultivates. However, the inner armor on Jiang Lingxiao is clearly not an ordinary item. I’m afraid that there’s still a long way for Chu Yunfan to go before he’s able to win.”

At this moment, Jiang Lingxiao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and slowly stood up. “Chu Yunfan, you’ve really angered me. I didn’t expect that an ant like you would be able to pose such a threat to me one day.”

“An ant?” Chu Yunfan sneered. To Jiang Lingxiao, the Chu Yunfan from a year ago might have indeed been an ant-like existence. But that was a year ago.

“If you weren’t a few years older than me, killing you would just be like killing an ant to me,” Chu Yunfan said confidently with his hands behind his back. If he was given two more years, killing the current Jiang Lingxiao would be easy.

“But enough of this. I will kill you,” Jiang Lingxiao said as he laughed, “Unfortunately for you, there’s no way you’re getting out this anymore.”

As Jiang Lingxiao said these words, the aura from his body suddenly changed. It was completely different from when he used the Life Ender technique earlier. He took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

Boom!

Jiang Lingxiao’s aura instantly exploded. He, who had just stepped into the sixth level of the Innate Stage not long ago, suddenly exploded. His strength steadily stepped to the peak of the sixth level, and he was now more than 50% stronger than before.

Although it was only 50%, the feeling he gave off was much, much more terrifying than before.

“It’s such a pity. I had originally planned to use this pill when I’m about to break through to the seventh level. And now, you’ve forced me to use it. However, as long as I kill you, everything will be worth it.” Jiang Lingxiao grinned, and his demeanor became even more terrifying.

This pill temporarily raised his strength to the peak of the sixth level, and he almost broke through to the seventh level.

“Not bad. Did you obtain it from an inheritance?” Chu Yunfan asked.

Even for a behemoth like the Jiangs, medicinal pills that could help Innate experts breakthrough were uncommon occurrences. It could even be described as rare.

This was because Innate experts could not be stuffed with medicinal pills. With the current trend of alchemic development, it had not reached the point where Innate experts could be casually molded.

The Jiangs would probably give to Jiang Lingxiao whatever they managed to get their hands on. This kind of pill was not the kind that could be used over time to increase one’s strength. Instead, it would increase one’s strength a lot in an instant. It could even be used to break through the barrier between cultivation levels. It was a precious item.

Of course, Chu Yunfan considered these sorts of pills to be previous as well. However, it was something that could be hoped for but could not be sought.

“That’s right.” Jiang Lingxiao nodded. “Since you don’t care about the Jiangs’ Life Ender, I will let you see what I’ve obtained from the ruins of the Ancient Zenith Civilization.”

Swish!

Jiang Lingxiao then shouted, “Ten Lightning Steps!”

He instantly disappeared from where he was standing. Like a bolt of lightning, he streaked across the battlefield and arrived in front of Chu Yunfan. A long spear had appeared in his hand before anyone had noticed. A spear light swept across the sky and instantly shot out. The faint roar of a dragon could be heard as the spear light shot toward Chu Yunfan.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave swept over faster than the tip of the spear. It blew at Chu Yunfan’s hair and robes, causing them to flutter violently like he was standing in the eye of a violent storm.

Compared to the Life Ender, Jiang Lingxiao’s current attack was at least a level stronger. Its power was incomparable.

“What kind of spear is this? How is it so terrifying?!”

The crowd felt their breath freeze in their lungs. Even though they were separated from the battle by the barrier formation, they could still feel the terrifying power brought about by this attack.

“Rising Dragon Spear!”

The spear thrust out like a rising dragon, devouring everything in the world.

However, Chu Yunfan acted as if he barely noticed it and firmly stood his ground.

In an instant, the spear had already arrived in front of Chu Yunfan. It was about to pierce him into two halves. However, it was at this moment that he made his move. He had already placed the Ju Que in front of his chest.

Boom!

This spear was like a missile as it struck Chu Yunfan’s sword. However, it could not advance any further. Chu Yunfan held onto the sword firmly with one hand and managed to block this spear that seemed able to pierce a hole in the sky.

“Impossible!”

Seeing that Chu Yunfan was able to easily withstand his Rising Dragon Spear, Jiang Lingxiao felt that it was inconceivable. However, he did not stop. He swept out with his spear again.

This attack was even more powerful than the previous one.

A strike just got more and more powerful. This was the true intention of the Rising Dragon Spear. It rose with an upward momentum until it shattered its opponent.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Each strike was more powerful than the previous one. At the same time, each was faster than the last as well. Everyone could only see the terrifying tide that was stirred up by each strike.

Chu Yunfan seemed to have been drowned as well.

In the midst of the chaotic spear attacks, Chu Yunfan was like a small boat in the midst of a fierce storm that could be destroyed at any time.

“Go to hell!” Jiang Lingxiao’s loud roar sounded.

His spear was like a long dragon that devoured everything in its path.

“You don’t have the ability to kill me yet. Let me show you a new technique that I recently learned.

“Eight Astonishing Punches!”
