C509 – Genius?
“How dare you, a mere Human Clan member, come here? Do you not realize that this is Scale Clan territory?” Ouyang Mingyu spoke in a frigid tone while maintaining a composed expression. Suddenly, he lunged forward and punched Guan Shengwu.
This caught the attention of the onlookers, who noticed the commotion.
“Hmm? Is there a conflict between Ouyang Mingyu and his party and someone else?”
“That’s the young master of Scale Clan, the strongest warrior among the younger generation. Who’s that brawny man standing opposite him? And why is he with a little maid? I’m guessing he’s probably some pampered son of a wealthy family.”
“Ouyang Mingyu has publicly declared himself as a Half-step Great Tao Stage, but rumors say that he has already surpassed that stage and will soon reach the Great Tao Stage within a decade!”
The people around them were discussing the matter and looking at Guan Shengwu with interest.
“Who is this man? I’ve never seen him before,” some of them expressed their confusion as they failed to recognize Guan Shengwu.
“What an ignoramus! It’s obvious who he is. Ouyang Mingyu’s reputation has been widespread recently. Every day, challengers come to face him, hoping to gain fame by defeating him.”
“But Ouyang Mingyu has been in seclusion for some time now, so he doesn’t entertain these challengers. However, now that the Scale Clan is hosting a grand event, these people see it as an opportunity to make a name for themselves.”
“Could it be that this man is pretending to be a Martial Cultivator?”
“That’s impossible! The Human Clan may be arrogant, but they wouldn’t dare to show up at this gathering. This is the Myriad Races Alliance, and there are over a hundred experts at the Great Tao Stage. Even someone as powerful as Hao Tian wouldn’t risk coming here!”
“Some people would do anything for fame and fortune, even if it means risking their lives!”
Hearing the conversations around him, Ouyang Mingyu sneered as he advanced toward Guan Shengwu. As he threw a punch, a massive blade emerged from behind him, casting a terrifying light that covered the sky.
“It seems that no one thinks much of you,” Ouyang Mingyu stated coldly to Guan Shengwu.
At this moment, on Dragonspine Mountain, everyone’s eyes were focused on Ouyang Mingyu and Guan Shengwu.
Even those old ancestors were looking at them. After all, this was related to the peerless genius that Ouyang Mingyu, the young generation, had the highest chance of breaking through to Great Taoist Master.
“That man’s Qi seems to be from Black Turtle Clan. Sigh, no wonder. I can’t stand the unique talent of the Scale Clan!”
Initially, the people on Dragonspine Mountain thought that there wouldn’t be any suspense in this battle. After all, the opponent was Ouyang Mingyu.
However, when they realized that the challenger was the Black Turtle Clan, a playful expression appeared on their faces.
“Whose family’s child is this?”
High in the clouds, Black Tortoise Ancestor asked doubtfully.
Putting aside Guan Shengwu’s cultivation base, the fact that he dared to challenge Ouyang Mingyu indicated that he had a lot of guts.
If this man could challenge Ouyang Mingyu and survive, he would be worthy of his training.
Although they were all the same master, there was still a competition between them in secret.
They were already angry that their master wanted them to listen to Scale Clan Master no matter what.
Now that he saw his own junior challenging Ouyang Mingyu, although his face revealed a displeased expression, he was overjoyed in his heart.
“I think master is watching secretly at this moment. If he notices this junior, perhaps Master will take a liking to him, then Black Turtle Clan will have two Great Dao warriors!”
When the other old ancestors saw this scene, they frowned. Why didn’t any of their juniors dare to challenge Ouyang Mingyu?
Even if their strength wasn’t strong enough, as long as they showed their talent and courage in front of their master and received his appreciation, they would certainly be promoted.
Guan Shengwu still had no intention of letting go of Lin Ruoxi’s little hand. He stood still and waited for Ouyang Mingyu’s punch to come. As for the violent blade light, he didn’t seem to see it.
Just as Ouyang Mingyu’s fist was about to hit his chest, Guan Shengwu moved.
“Pa!”
The sound was extremely loud, as if it had spread all over Dragonspine Mountain.
Ouyang Mingyu was sent flying backwards, and a clear palm print appeared on his face.
“Bang!”
The Black Tortoise Ancestor couldn’t hold it any longer, and he stood up in excitement.
The other ancestors’ eyes froze. No one knew what they were thinking.
Guan Shengwu’s slap landed on Ouyang Mingyu’s face, causing ripples to appear on the surrounding Void, blocking their vision.
The surrounding young generation wasn’t strong enough to see through it, so when they saw the ripples, they all spoke.
“I told you, Ouyang Mingyu is a Half-step Great Tao Stage expert. If this kid dares to challenge Ouyang Mingyu, he will most likely be killed in an instant!”
“That can’t be helped. If he challenges _ in front of so many people, he must be prepared to be killed.”
“What a terrifying palm strike. In order to prevent the Martial Cultivator from invading, the Void here has been reinforced by the old ancestors. I never thought that it would be shattered by Ouyang Mingyu’s palm strike. The force of this palm strike is truly terrifying!”
The spectators exclaimed.
After a dozen breaths of time, when the ripples dissipated and the scene in front of everyone was revealed, everyone was stunned.
This sudden change caused the entire Dragonspine Ridge to fall into complete silence.
They saw Guan Shengwu standing there while Lin Ruoxi was still eating the candied fruits. She looked around curiously, totally unaware of the danger from before.
On the other hand, Ouyang Mingyu’s face was pale, and more than ten of his teeth had been knocked away.
“This…” The spectators were dumbfounded.
“This is impossible? It must be fake!”
The experts of Scale Clan couldn’t believe what they saw and exclaimed.
“Who is this person? When did such a genius appear in the Black Turtle Clan?”
“Ouyang Mingyu, such a powerful peerless genius, was defeated in one strike.”
The surrounding people revealed astonished expressions.
“Brother Black Tortoise, you have hidden it well!”
Golden Phoenix Ancestor looked at Black Tortoise Ancestor with a smile. The Golden Phoenix Clan had a good relationship with Black Turtle Clan, and even had a marriage alliance with them for generations. When they saw Guan Shengwu’s heaven defying talent, they immediately became excited and wanted to have a marriage alliance with him.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect this kid to have a breakthrough.”
Black Tortoise Ancestor laughed loudly. Although he didn’t know Guan Shengwu, this didn’t stop him from putting on an act.
He was apprehensive that Guan Shengwu might be masquerading as a member of the Human Clan, so he employed his spiritual power to verify. He confirmed that Guan Shengwu indeed possessed the bloodline of the Black Turtle Clan.
Although the Human Clan could manipulate Qi fluctuations, they could not alter their bloodline. Hence, he felt much relieved.
Guan Shengwu had taken him by surprise.
Guan Shengwu had accomplished a breakthrough independently, which would make his master hold the Black Turtle Clan in higher regard.
Guan Shengwu remained composed and remarked, “It appears that killing me will prove to be a challenge for you!”
Ouyang Mingyu’s expression darkened and his face became rigid.
“You’ve left me with no choice but to end your life!”
Suddenly, Ouyang Mingyu’s demeanor turned vicious. He let out a howl, and his facial veins bulged as he assumed his true form as a human Qilin.
“How dare you!”
The Black Tortoise Ancestor bellowed in anger. He was beyond furious.
Despite the Scale Clan and Black Turtle Clan’s historical animosity, they remained allies. Ouyang Mingyu had committed the heinous act of killing Guan Shengwu right before his very eyes.
If it weren’t for the Scale Clan Master’s secret signal, he would have been caught unawares!
“Things are about to get interesting!”
“Let’s see who emerges victorious!”
The onlookers grew increasingly excited.
