Chapter 116: I Oppose
"Su Zhan, that's Liu Badao!"
Chen Changfeng pointed to the tall middle-aged man on the Black Flame Eagle and said, "Liu Badao was also a renowned genius back in the day. He possesses the Tyrant Saint Body, although he is not purely a body cultivator, his physical strength is much stronger than ordinary Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators! Over forty years ago, he dominated all the Fish-Dragon Realm powerhouses at the Martial Arts Conference and was recognized as the number one powerhouse in the eastern region. His cultivation should be at the pinnacle of the Fish-Dragon Realm!"
"The pinnacle of the Fish-Dragon Realm Who is that person beside him?"
Su Zhan's gaze fell on the hunched old man next to Liu Badao. He keenly sensed that the old man seemed to be even stronger than Liu Badao.
"That person" Chen Changfeng looked carefully and shook his head, "I don't recognize him. That old man and the young man next to him, I haven't seen them before. They shouldn't be from the Liu family. However, I don't know why they are riding the Liu family's Black Flame Eagle to the Martial Arts Conference. It feels suspicious!"
"Indeed, those two individuals have never appeared in previous Martial Arts Conferences. But they could be hidden experts from the Liu family. Let's wait for Liu Badao to introduce them. As someone from the Liu family participating in the Martial Arts Conference for the first time, he wouldn't neglect to introduce them." Qin Jincheng said.
"That makes sense." Chen Changfeng nodded and didn't say anything more.
Soon, the Black Flame Eagle landed on the square, and Liu Badao and the others got off. The Black Flame Eagle flew away and headed towards a nearby mountain peak.
A total of seven people from the Liu family had come, along with the four individuals on the Wu Country's stone platform, making a total of eleven.
After taking their seats, Liu Badao, a tall figure with a beard, scanned the other fourteen stone platforms and spoke, "Gentlemen, I know you must be wondering why I advanced the Martial Arts Conference. In fact, the reason I did so was entirely for the benefit of all of you!"
"For our benefit?"
"What? For our benefit?"
Upon hearing these words, many martial artists became more attentive and focused.
Seeing this, Liu Badao wore a satisfied expression and continued, "You should all know that the spiritual energy in our eastern region is exhausted, and rare treasures from heaven and earth are scarce. As a result, it takes centuries for a second transformation expert in the Fish-Dragon Realm to appear in our eastern region. Even the first transformation experts are few and far between!"
"Moreover, as Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators, our maximum limit for flying is only a few thousand meters. If we go too high, we will be compressed and injured by the spiritual pressure from the Spirit Continent above, even to the point of falling!"
"At an altitude of a few thousand meters, not to mention the countless powerful monster birds in the Celestial Mountains, even some monster beasts can attack us through special means. Over the years, apart from a few lucky individuals who have successfully crossed the Celestial Mountains and ventured outside, most of those who attempted to leave were devoured by monster beasts, leaving no trace of their remains!"
"We eastern martial artists are trapped in this remote corner, like frogs at the bottom of a well, unable to see the light of day! But all of this is about to change. The young man sitting next to me, Lord Chen, is the young master of a huge sect outside the Celestial Mountains called Sole Sword Sect!"
"While exploring the Celestial Mountains for a spiritual medicine, he unexpectedly discovered a safe path that crosses the Celestial Mountains!"
"With this, each of you will have the opportunity to go to the outside world and break through your limitations!"
After hearing Liu Badao's words, the crowd of martial artists erupted with excitement!
"Second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm!" Li Su's pupils contracted, and he blocked with his horizontal sword.
"Bang!"
His body was sent flying a hundred meters, crashing to the ground. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and even standing up became extremely difficult!
"Second transformation-! Liu Badao has reached the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm!"
"No wonder! No wonder he dares to say such things, defying the entire eastern martial arts world!"
"It's over! The second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm is Pure Elemental Jade Bones. It amplifies his power even more as a martial artist focused on physical cultivation!"
"If even Li Su was heavily injured by his punch, who can stop him?"
"Are we eastern martial artists really going to lose our dignity today and become someone else's dogs?"
"Damn it! Even if I die, I won't become a damn dog of the Sole Sword Sect! If I do, my grandson and my grandson's grandson will never be able to hold their heads up!"
Voices rang out one after another. There was shock, fear, and indignation.
These emotions, in the face of Liu Badao's openly displayed saint physique and the culmination of his power, turned into despair.
"Hmph! Let me tell you the truth. I was able to break through to the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm because of Lord Chen's pill!"
"You guys have no face to save! Weren't you all boasting about how powerful you are just now?"
"Why are you all silent now? Afraid of death?"
"I'll ask one last time. Are there any forces in the eastern martial arts world that are not afraid to oppose and refuse to submit to the Sole Sword Sect, and give up the Dark Star Forest?!" Liu Badao's gaze swept across the stone platforms.
Those whom he looked at all lowered their heads, unwilling to meet his gaze, let alone speak out against him. Feeling the terrifying power of Liu Badao, who could easily kill any one of them, everyone fell silent.
Some of them stole a glance at Su Zhan, but quickly dismissed the thought in their minds. Although Su Zhan was formidable, Liu Badao had already reached the second transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm.
Moreover, considering what would make Liu Badao willingly become a dog, one could imagine the strength of the Sole Sword Sect. Su Zhan wouldn't have the courage or the power to confront such a colossal entity Those individuals withdrew their gaze, feeling despair in their hearts.
Seeing this, Liu Badao sneered, "A bunch of worthless dogs! You only know to be submissive when faced with force! Since none of you oppose, from now on, you will all obediently serve Lord Chen and the Sole Sword Sect"
"Wait." At that moment, Su Zhan stood up, his gaze slightly cold, fixated on the arrogant Liu Badao: "I oppose."
