"Amongst the Nine Great Supreme Martial Family, you are the strongest person I have met in my generation."
"If it wasn't for the fortuitous encounter ten years ago, the current me might not have been a match for you."
"Unfortunately, you've encountered the current me."
Zong Chao took a step forward into the air, and instantly crossed the distance of over a hundred metres. After a few steps, he had already landed on the stage.
"Are you sure you can beat me directly?"
Lin Feng did not immediately take action, but laughed while narrowing his eyes.
"Would warriors who have just entered the inner strength be a match for Martial Arts Grandmaster?"
Zong Chao smiled faintly.
"An ordinary inner strength warrior would naturally not be a match for him …"
Lin Feng spoke very slowly and each word came to a halt. A smile slowly emerged on Zong Chao's face, but this kind of smile had not completely bloomed, and following Lin Feng's following words, it became stiff once again:
"However, there are exceptions to everything. For an extremely small number of people, defeating the Martial Arts Grandmaster in the early stages of inner strength is not a difficult task."
The smile on Zong Chao's face froze, "So you're saying, you think that you're one of those people?"
"Smart!" Lin Feng snapped his fingers. "I really admire your intelligence."
"This kid is too arrogant!"
"Do you think fighting all the way to the finals is that amazing?" In a while, you will know how miserable a death is if you anger Zong Chao! "
"Merely a mere Earthly Immortal Stage and yet you want to go head to head with Zong Chao, who has the Peak Earthly Immortal of an Earthly Immortal? You overestimate yourself!"
Inside contest ground, everyone was discussing about it with disdain.
They had already experienced Lin Feng's strength before, and recognized his talent and strength. But right now, Lin Feng was facing Zong Chao who had already stepped into the Peak Earthly Immortal. His seemingly powerful strength, in the face of Zong Chao's Peak Earthly Immortal, was weak to the point that it wasn't even worth mentioning.
"Brat, I originally wanted to leave you with a chance of survival, but now you are courting death. You cannot blame others."
Zong Chao's face was stiff, his killing intent rising.
According to his thinking, after showing his strength, Lin Feng should have been scared out of his wits at the first moment. He never would have thought that not only was the other party not scared, he was even speaking frankly and ignoring him.
He absolutely could not tolerate it!
"With just you?" Lin Feng's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Of course!" Zong Chao's eyes were about to spew fire.
This old man, a dignified Peak Earthly Immortal expert, will only need to cover his hands when he kills a weak chicken that had just entered the Earthly Immortal Stage.
"You're just an ant!"
After Lin Feng spoke for a moment, two words suddenly popped out.
"What did this kid say?"
"Ants …" He actually called Zong Chao an ant! "
All the members of the various great families were deeply shocked by the name Lin Feng.
All of them stood dumbstruck on the spot.
A newly Earthly Immortal began to clamor towards a cultivator with Peak Earthly Immortal, calling him an ant? Everyone felt that their understanding of life had been completely overturned. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there would be such a reckless person.
"Die!"
Zong Chao was infuriated, he punched out with his fist, releasing his terrifying true essence.
True essence, which was like a surging wave that shook the heavens, transformed into a giant true essence lion in the air. It opened its big mouth and swept towards Lin Feng. The air exploded with ear-piercing sonic booms, as if a supersonic fighter jet was flying at a low altitude.
Terrifying lacerations appeared in the air, and every single one of them was extremely shocking. It was as if there were countless ice-breaking ships breaking through the ice, creating waves and leaving behind enormous cracks. Some of the more frightening aspects of the arena were like black holes in the universe. The huge holes looked like they were going to swallow up the entire arena.
The ground of the battling platform had already been strengthened, becoming incomparably hard. With the formation supporting him, even a half-step Earth Immortal wouldn't be able to destroy it. Even so, under the violent sweep of true essence, cracks still covered the hard ground of the martial stage. Although the crack was very small, it was still shocking.
"Zong Chao wants to kill you, this brat is dead for sure!"
"Although the rules of the martial stage have been set since a thousand years ago, with Zongjia's current status amongst the super Martial Family, and the Du Family's demise, even if Zong Chao killed this brat, there was nothing Su Changgong could do. As for that super martial arts alliance's Elders Guild, they would definitely not offend the Zongjia for the sake of the Du Family. "
"It's a pity that the young genius of the Du Family is going to die on this stage today. Otherwise, given his accomplishments in the future, even if he's inferior to Zong Chao, he would still be a dragon among men."
"What's the pity? This brat is courting death, who let him be so arrogant! "
"That's right. Moreover, to be able to personally witness the fall of a young genius would also be a very good thing!"
Everyone from the eight Martial Family s discussed excitedly.
From their point of view, when Zong Chao attacked with all his strength under extreme anger, it was already the time of his death. No one felt regretful about this. On the contrary, all of their faces were full of glee at his misfortune.
"This Zong Chao is courting death!"
Su Changgong sighed quietly and shook his head lightly.
If Zong Chao had not acted so viciously, with Lin Feng's personality, he would have let him live.
Unfortunately, with this fist, Zong Chao had used all his strength. If Lin Feng was really only in the initial stages of the Earthly Immortal Stage, his flesh would have definitely exploded under this fist.
Lin Feng stood in place without moving, his gaze never landing on Zong Chao's fist. This punch, which was enough to split the stone tablet, was directly ignored.
"This kid is really too arrogant!"
"Let's see if he can continue acting so arrogantly when his physical body is destroyed later on!"
Everyone was shocked by Lin Feng's actions.
The punch that Zong Chao threw with all his might was enough to completely destroy a tank with steel armour. Even a high-rise building that was cast with steel and concrete would collapse into ruins with this punch.
Not to mention Lin Feng who had just entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, even the Peak Earthly Immortal physical body expert s did not dare to face the sharpness of this fist head-on.
"Boom!"
The giant lion made of true essence howled forth and arrived here in the blink of an eye.
Just as the huge mouth was about to swallow Lin Feng, Lin Feng raised one of his fingers and pointed towards the sky.
"So what if you have Peak Earthly Immortal?"
"Weak chicken!"
The moment his finger pointed at the void, the space within a certain range suddenly changed dramatically.
Everything froze in an instant. It was as if everything in the area had been frozen.
"This is bad!"
Zong Chao cried out in shock as he realized to his horror that his Quintessential Essence, which was omnipresent and could destroy armoured tanks and high-rise building s, was actually unable to advance even a single inch.
"This... "What's going on?"
Inside the contest ground, the moment Zong Chao made his move, everyone's attention was already focused on him.
Staring at the scene on the battling platform, all of them were deeply shocked. No one had thought that a nameless young man from the Du Family would display a strength that was even stronger than before in the arena battle. Especially at this moment, he was actually displaying a strength that was even stronger than Zong Chao.
"This kid's realm is far more than just Earthly Immortal. He's probably already half a step into the Earthly Immortal Realm!"
"Zong Chao is already at the Peak Earthly Immortal realm and is only a step away from becoming a half-step Earth Immortal. This brat can easily block Zong Chao's attack with his full strength. I'm afraid that he has already reached the peak of the half-step Earth Immortal Realm, and is only an inch away from becoming a real Earth Immortal. "
"The Du Family has truly hidden their moves very deeply. I had originally thought that this year's champion of the arena battle would once again fall to Zongjia. But from the looks of it, you are going to change hands and go to the Du Clan? "
"The opening of the Immortal Burying Battlefield has reached the day of the grand opening once every thousand years. The chance of obtaining an opportunity to enter will far surpass any other opening once every thousand years. Therefore, no matter who it is, as long as they can obtain the Secret Key and enter the immortal estate, they will have an extremely high chance of obtaining the inheritance from the owner of the immortal estate and taking over the immortal estate. "
"Once I truly acquire the inheritance and control over the Immortal estate, that would mean …"
Coming back to their senses from shock, the various families were discussing this matter.
It was only the first exchange of blows, but they were already able to determine the difference in strength between the two of them. Zong Chao's full-power attack, under his fury, was actually blocked off by a very casual movement of Lin Feng.
"I didn't expect this kid to have been hiding his strength all this time!"
The faces of the people from Zongjia became even more stiff.
Especially Zong Kui, he gritted his teeth ferociously: "Mysterious Immortal Mansion Key, no matter what, you must not fall into the hands of any other family."
The Immortal Graveyard opened every few decades. However, every time it opened up, every thousand years, not only did it open up a larger area, it also had a higher probability of obtaining an opportunity than before.
If it was said that the Immortal Burying Battlefield was only a municipal museum in the last few decades, then this thousand year opening would be a national museum. The difference between the two was so great that it couldn't be compared in the same breath.
… ….
On the battling platform.
"Heavenly Thunder!"
As expected of the Zongjia, the youngest genius in several hundred years, Zong Chao's reaction speed was still very fast. After the first strike failed, he immediately backed up and took out his treasure to call for divine lightning.
"Rumble!"
Earth-shaking explosions occurred in the sky, as if there were missiles exploding in the sky.
Bolts of lightning began to gather above the battling platform amidst the heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sounds.
One, two, three, four, five.
The power of the five lightning bolts were all as thick as a thumb. The pressure they emanated when gathered together was even more terrifying.
