Shangguan Zhou had disappeared from the world of martial arts for far too long, so many people had forgotten about this former powerhouse. But today, he had made an appearance that everyone present could never forget.
Golden light surrounded his body, like a god wearing golden armor stepping on top of a river. His feet paused, and he leaped several tens of feet into the air.
He looked down at the river and showed disdain for all the heroes. He was a martial arts master!
"Heavenly Dragon Association, Thunder Hall Master Shangguan Zhou!"
Shangguan Zhou's shout shook the river, many of the surrounding people took a step back. It had to be said that this aura was too powerful, to the point that everyone felt a tinge of reverence for him.
After Shangguan Zhou signed up, everyone turned to look at Lin Zichen. Facing such an opponent, what would Lin Zichen do? In the eyes of more people, Lin Zi Chen might feel regret at this moment, after all, he would not have expected his opponent to be so strong!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Zi Chen slowly raised his head. The moonlight shone on his handsome face, covering it with an evil smile.
"Lin Zi Chen!"
After the simple three words, Lin Zichen's eyes widened, and he sprung up, almost as tall as Shangguan Zhou. He shot out like an arrow from a bow, tearing through all resistance in the air like a sharp arrow in a gale, and kept flying!
While he was running, with a wave of his hand, white true qi flowed out of his body, bringing with it a long tail of mist. He looked like a celestial wind, a proud and arrogant man!
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Zhou was stunned. Hmph, middle level of the Origin Gathering Stage!
"To think that you are actually at the middle level of the Clasping Yuan Realm at such a young age. You can be considered to have extraordinary talent!"
Lin Zichen slightly raised his head and looked at Shangguan Zhou, saying: "Otherwise, how will we kill the Thunder Tiger?"
"Haha, that's right, Lei Jinhu's strength is at the middle stage of the Na Yuan stage. It seems that I've misunderstood him. There's no shame in being able to die at your hands," Shangguan Zhou laughed and said, "But unfortunately, I'm not Lei Jinhu, he's not worthy to be compared with me!"
Lin Zi Chen nodded his head, "I can see that you can control your Qi and walk. You have already entered the late stages of the Na Yuan stage!"
"Lin Zi Chen, not only are you extremely talented, you also have a calmness that ordinary people don't have. You might become a dragon in China, a martial artist at the Transcending Mortality Stage!" Shangguan Chuan said.
"What are you trying to say?" Lin Zi Chen said coldly.
Shangguan Zhou looked down at the river bank and said: "Once you enter the martial path, you are destined to have no way back. Once you enter the martial path, you are destined to have no way back; once you enter the martial path, you are destined to have no way back.
Lin Zi Chen closed his eyes and sneered: "What else?"
"Hehe, you Lin Zi Chen need not cause me, Shangguan Zhou, to be afraid, I am only at the middle stage of the Na Yuan stage, and I have already entered the late stage. If I kill you today, I can reduce the number of enemies I face in the future, and if I keep you alive, perhaps we can become friends!"
"Friend? "Hur hur, sorry, I'm not interested at all!" Lin Zi Chen shook his head.
"Lin Zicheng, if you join my Heavenly Dragon Association, you will definitely become the focus of attention in the future. What you and I have seen on the path of martial arts cannot be compared with other martial artists. Although Lei Jinhu has some cultivation, he will definitely die under your hands. "Lin Zi Chen, if I do not fight with you today, how about you come to my Heavenly Dragon Conference's Thunder Hall?"
He knew that in the martial arts of Hua Xia, a young man like Lin Zi Chen was like a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. If he followed him, not to mention the Thunder Hall, he would even be able to ascend to the position of the Second Head of the Heavenly Dragon Conference in the future.
Compared to this future, he could totally give up on today's duel!
However, Lin Zi Chen's tone was still as cold as ever, and he said: "I've said it before, I'm not interested!"
"You think you can kill me? You're betting your life! " Shangguan Chuan said.
"I want to try!"
As he finished speaking, Lin Zichen's head shot up, and he glared angrily at Shangguan Zhou. There was no hatred in his eyes, but if you were my opponent, you would definitely die!
It was Lin Zichen's habit to make the first move, and this time was no exception!
His two palms turned into fists as the true energy within his body entered his fists. His fists moved slightly in the air, bringing about a strong gust of wind.
In the middle of the air, Shangguan Zhou narrowed his eyes, "Such powerful zhenqi, but it's only at the middle level of the Na Yuan Realm. Since you're so stubborn, I can send you on your way!"
Although he felt a bit regretful, Shangguan Zhou had to make a killing move. He had to live by his own path, and those who defied the rules would die. He couldn't leave a rising star as a potential danger in the future!
However, to Shangguan Zhou's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zichen had already appeared in front of him. His speed was even faster than when he had flown into the river, and in a flash, he was already close enough.
"So fast!"
Everyone exclaimed, and the conversation was brief. Lin Zichen arrived in front of Shangguan Zhou in a flash. This speed shocked everyone, and they seemed to be rejoicing that they were not the ones fighting today.
Lin Zichen threw a punch, and a fierce wind blew. Shangguan Zhou's long hair was blown back, and his face, which was originally Zhou Zheng's, was suddenly distorted by the wind, making him look horrifying.
"Hah!"
Shangguan Zhou's body shook and flew backward, the power exuding from him immediately sinking. When he came into contact with the surface of the river, water splashed out several meters in all directions.
Facing Lin Zichen's attack, Shangguan Zhou did not dare to let his guard down. After all, the first move represented the unknown, and if he were to recklessly resist it, it would easily expose his weak point.
However, Lin Zichen had no intention of stopping at all. He let Shangguan Zhou fly backwards at an incredible speed. He chased closely after him, his fist aiming for Shangguan Zhou's face!
The two of them seemed to have frozen in space, but their location was moving forward at an extreme speed. From a position thirty meters away from the river, they chased each other all the way until they were more than a hundred meters away from the river.
Shangguan Zhou thought to himself. Seemingly with great perseverance, he actually chased the Thunder Tiger for dozens of meters in one move. Just this point was already several times stronger than the Thunder Tiger.
Seeing that he could not avoid Lin Zichen's attack at all, Shangguan Zhou suddenly stopped and pushed forward with all his might, his powerful palm striking Lin Zichen's fist!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
With a loud rumble, a force spread out from the two of them. Not only did it form visible patterns in the air, but the river surface also formed a whirlpool. The ripples of water quickly spread in all directions.
The two of them seemed to have felt each other's strength as their forces clashed. Coincidentally, both of them had an expression of surprise on their faces!
"Lin Zi Chen, you're worthy to fight with me!"
Lin Zi Chen sneered: "I didn't expect you to be a Shield Meridian martial artist!"
"Shield Meridian? "Hmph, you guessed wrong. Have you ever heard of Body Cultivator?" Shangguan Zhou smiled confidently.
Body cultivator? Lin Zicheng had once experienced the term body cultivation in the memories of Empyrean Dao Xuan. However, this was an extremely extreme cultivation method. If one took a sword and went on a rampage, the martial path would be destroyed!
The cultivation of qi was divided into Qi Cultivating and Body Cultivating. Qi Cultivating was used to nourish the body, and by luck, the body and meridians would be strengthened by the transformation of true qi. However, the body and soul would be different by the transformation of true qi into true qi, and the body would be built up from true qi, resulting in an extremely strong physique.
This was the reason why Lin Zichen had decided that Shangguan Zhou was a Shield Pulse Cultivator. Although a Shield Vein martial artist was a Qi Cultivator, they had a very strong physique, and this effect was very similar to that of a Body Cultivator.
Looking at it now, Shangguan Zhou was simply not a Qi cultivator. Instead, he was a Body Cultivator. No wonder he could resist Lin Zichen's attack with the power of his two palms!
"I'll be enlightened now!"
As Lin Zi Chen said this, his palms swept past his body, and two strands of true qi naturally flowed out from his body, forming two strange lines in front of his body. Lin Zi Chen's speed became faster and faster, and as he flipped his palms, the two strands of true qi combined to form a visible sword-shaped true qi!
The sword-shaped true qi was like a real sword body. Under Lin Zichen's dance, its strength was so strong that it could cut through the air.
Slash!
Shangguan Zhou's eyes widened, "Using a vaporizer is interesting, but so what? My arms are comparable to giant blades! "
Saying that, Shangguan Zhou suddenly opened his arms like a hawk and charged towards Lin Zichen, the zhen qi sword in Lin Zi Chen's hand also slashed downwards, a stream of zhen qi brushed past the river, the whole river seemed to be split apart, rushing towards both sides … …
Boom …
An explosion sounded from the unknown distance, and immediately after, water mists filled the sky, and a column of water shot up into the sky, as if reaching the highest of the nine heavens.
As for Shangguan Zhou, he was still standing in midair, but there was a trace of surprise in the indifference on his face. "I didn't expect your zhenqi to be so strong, you are … "A middle level Natal Stage martial artist?"
Lin Zi Chen sneered: "Late stage!"
With that, he brandished his long sword again. The sharp blade reflected the moonlight's light, enveloping the entire Yan Mingjiang River in a silvery light. It looked beautiful, but it hid an endless murderous intent!
At this moment, there were more and more people crowding around Yan Ming Jiang, and all of their faces were filled with shock. Previously, they had thought that Shangguan Zhou would easily kill Lin Zi Chen, but now, everyone seemed to doubt their judgement …
Although Shangguan Zhou was much stronger than they had imagined, and the golden light from his appearance blinded everyone's eyes, Lin Zichen's breathtaking display made everyone even more speechless. His momentum didn't lose out in the slightest to Shangguan Zhou on the Martial Ranking!
The huge blade chopped down, the majesty of Zhen Qi causing Shangguan Zhou to reveal a look of fear, how could this be …
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
After the sound of the explosion, although Shangguan Zhou managed to avoid Lin Zichen's attack with all his might, his long hair was in disarray, and his expression became extremely irritable.
"That's impossible. So what if you're at the late stage of the Na Yuan stage?" I have already stepped into the late stage eight years ago, so the strength of my foundation and true qi are incomparable to mine! "
"Is that so?"
Lin Zichen smirked as he shook his arms, and true qi continuously burst out of his body. The violent fog instantly condensed into visible energy in the air, and every inch of it was enough to frighten Shangguan Zhou.
Even if he was in the late stages of the Yuan Dan Stage, how could he have such great power?
"I don't believe that. I will kill you and then challenge Ren Tiaoying to take back my martial warrior status!"
Shangguan Zhou exerted strength all over his body, his zhenqi swelling crazily in his body. He felt as if every inch of his skin was about to be torn apart by his zhenqi, his strength had almost reached its limit.
"You don't have a chance because you're going to die!"
Lin Zi Chen charged forth and brandished his sword again. His Zhen Qi instantly merged with his previous energy body, and in the moment of swinging his sword, it crazily rushed towards Shangguan Zhou.
The true energy seemed to have cut through the entire night sky, causing the sky to be as bright as day even though it was still night!
"Breathe in!" Breaking Qi was enough to break a martial artist's protective qi barrier. So what if your body was as hard as a rock!
