Chapter 438: Huashen Realm Fifth Layer, How is this possible?
“What’s wrong with Qi Huang? That was the third largest Immortal Sect in the Xihui Dynasty that once eliminated her! Not only is she not serious, but she’s also actively lowering the difficulty for her opponent.”
“She’s a madwoman anyway, she doesn’t have to take responsibility for what she says. At worst, she’ll just renege on her promise, and she’s naturally fearless!”
“That’s true, but why isn’t Cheng Hong Ling’s main body speaking up to defend herself? Does she also tacitly agree?”
“It’s hard to say, she’s already stood up for her clone before!”
“Before is before, now is now. I don’t believe she dares to agree this time.”
…
The cultivators below pointed and discussed.
“Cheng Hong Ling, do your clone’s words count? As long as she takes half a step away from the stool, the Hong Hua Sect will voluntarily concede?”
Jin Hu also seized the opportunity to challenge Cheng Hong Ling, thinking to himself, “I’d like to see how you handle this. If you quibble, it will confirm that your clone is a crazy person who doesn’t keep her word.”
“Of course, it counts. Her intention is my intention. You don’t need to confirm this kind of issue with me again in the future.”
Cheng Hong Ling replied without hesitation, because she knew that in such an occasion, even if Qi Huang was truly a madwoman, she would have to grit her teeth and nod, otherwise, it would be equivalent to slapping herself in the face.
“Everyone heard it, she said it herself. Please bear witness for us!”
Jin Hu took advantage of the situation and cupped his fists towards the various Immortal Sects below the stage.
“Don’t worry, since it’s a consensus reached by both parties, and I, the steward of the Immortal Alliance, will bear witness, no one can deny it!”
Steward Cai spoke like a cat smelling fish.
“What? Trying to pick on someone weak?”
Cheng Hong Ling said calmly.
“What? Scared? It’s a pity it’s too late!”
Jin Hu said with a sinister smile.
“Indeed, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get past me.”
Cheng Hong Ling showed a look of pity on her pretty face.
“Third Junior Brother, I’ll deal with Cheng Hong Ling later, and you go deal with that Qi Huang. As long as she escapes or her consciousness is withdrawn, we’ll win!”
Jin Hu said to a dark and short, stout young man beside him. This person was Bao Gang, the second Immortal Seed of the Jinliu Sect.
“Qi Huang, don’t forget to keep your promise. When you get off the stage later, change your name in front of everyone. As long as I, Jin Hu, am around, no phoenix can fly out of Huang Tian Prefecture. It will always be a nest of rats!”
Jin Hu then reminded Qi Huang.
“No problem. But since it’s a bet, it’s not fair if only I have a stake, is it? How about this, if you lose, you change your name too. Jin Hu, Jin Hu, you should become Jin Shu.”
Qi Huang made a request.
“It’s a deal!”
Jin Hu was also provoked, so he agreed without hesitation.
…
“Master, looking at Cheng Hong Ling and her clone, they seem to be serious. Didn’t you say she was plotting a scheme?”
In the crowd of the Donglai Sect, Cheng Kang asked uncertainly.
Ye Donglai pondered for a moment, then stroked his snow-white beard and said, “She probably didn’t manage to trick us. Seeing that Jinliu Sect is the only competitor, she plans to turn the pretense into reality. After all, it’s hard to say who will win if they fight?”
“Is it worth it for a sign plate? If she doesn’t have the strength to crush her opponent, even if she wins by luck, she’ll have to pay a heavy price. So what if she gets the sign plate? Wouldn’t she still be taken advantage of when the formal competition begins?”
Cheng Kang questioned.
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, the opponent will still be Jinliu Sect. As for the other opponent, judging by her fearless appearance, she’s from a small sect and can be ignored completely, so there’s no need to fear being taken advantage of.”
Ye Donglai analyzed.
“That makes sense!”
Cheng Kang nodded in agreement and then said, “In that case, she’s planning to bet everything on this round. However, it’s hard to say whether she’ll get double rewards or be shamefully eliminated twice!”
“This is the sorrow of a small sect. If you want to get more rewards, you have to take risks. If you don’t want to take risks but want to get rewards, where can you find such good things in this world?”
Ye Donglai sighed.
…
“Alright, since both sides are ready, the sign plate contention battle… begins now!”
Steward Cai announced.
Before he finished speaking, Jin Hu had already disappeared from his spot. Although his body was tall, his explosive power was also terrifying. He rushed towards Cheng Hong Ling like a cannonball, and a wide broadsword appeared in his hand. Although it was huge, he wielded it with ease, without affecting his movements at all.
Cheng Hong Ling did not hold back at all. The killing intent within her body transformed into dense arrows that swept towards Jin Hu.
Jin Hu did not dodge, nor could he dodge. He allowed the killing intent to sweep over his entire body, but he didn’t even frown. He charged at Cheng Hong Ling with the force of a gale, and the broadsword in his hand swept towards Cheng Hong Ling like a door panel. Before the blade arrived, the violent gust of wind surged like roaring waves.
Cheng Hong Ling’s toes touched the ground, and her delicate body floated to the side as lightly as a butterfly. A look of confusion appeared on her pretty face: “You were not affected by the killing intent at all?”
Qi Huang was also very surprised. She knew best how powerful the killing intent was. This guy actually ignored it. What method did he use?
“As everyone knows, human seven emotions and six desires are hidden in the spirit soul. So as long as I don’t have a spirit soul in my body, I won’t be afraid. To deal with you, I have already banished my spirit soul.”
Jin Hu said proudly, raising his head.
“So that’s how it is! Why didn’t I think of this earlier?”
Qi Huang suddenly realized and was very annoyed. If she had known this, she would have directly cultivated her spirit soul into a clone and released it, so she wouldn’t have suffered losses from killing intent repeatedly.
“You do have some courage, but you should know very well that if it’s just a soul without the protection of a physical body, it will be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao’s Will outside and cannot be banished for long. Moreover, as time passes, your headache will get worse.”
Cheng Hong Ling reminded him.
“It doesn’t matter. This time is enough for me to deal with you. Remember, even though our cultivation levels are only one layer apart, it’s like a chasm for you.”
A ferocious look appeared on Jin Hu’s face, and his Huashen Realm third-layer spiritual sense suppressed towards Cheng Hong Ling. He shouted, “Get down!”
As expected, Cheng Hong Ling’s body trembled, and she swayed and fell downwards like a butterfly with broken wings.
‘You’ve been with me for so long, I didn’t expect you to act too.’
Qi Huang’s eyes widened in surprise because she knew that this spiritual sense could not affect the main body at all. Therefore, it could only be an act.
Jin Hu, of course, did not know. A smile of winning was on his face. He stomped on the ground, and his entire body shot up into the sky. The greatsword in his hand drew an arc trajectory, carrying the wind and fanning towards Cheng Hong Ling without any pity, shouting, “Fly!”
“You can’t fly at all!”
At this moment, Cheng Hong Ling’s staggering figure suddenly disappeared in the air. Before she appeared, a spiritual sense with the intensity of the Huashen Realm Fifth Layer pressed down, like an immortal Buddha descending to earth.
Jin Hu’s mere Huashen Realm third-layer spiritual sense instantly collapsed. His strong body staggered due to the pressure and could not maintain its form. At the same time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face: “How is this possible?”
“Huashen Realm Fifth Layer?”
Below the arena, Cheng Kang, Lin Ran, Lü Zhen, and a group of geniuses from the Xihui Dynasty all stood up from their stools. Even their sect elders did the same.
Of course, Lü Er was an exception, but the greedy look on his face became more obvious. He muttered to himself, “My concubine! My concubine! How many more surprises can you give me?”
Just then, Cheng Hong Ling appeared in front of Jin Hu, then raised her slender jade leg and kicked him in the abdomen.
“Bad!”
Jin Hu was terrified. The golden True Qi within his body circulated frantically, forming a layer of armor outside his lower abdomen.
“Bang!”
The leg and abdomen collided. Jin Hu’s tall body flew out horizontally.
