Accidentally invincible!

Qin Yang observed the situation outside.

He almost burst into tears.

The urge to cry was strong.

It was as if heaven itself didn't want to give him the perfect chance to show off. Inside the Dragon Nest, all the Immortals were intimidated by him, and no one dared to stand in his way. But, looking at the group outside, staring intently at him like ferocious beasts, he felt somewhat troubled.

"It's you all..."

War King was surrounded by a group of gifted cultivators. As he saw Lin Fan and the others emerge from the Dragon Nest, his eyes snapped open, and the sight of longtime rivals made his eyes blaze red with fury.

"Lin Fan, Qin Yang, and you... Xiang Fei."

He could never forget what happened back then; to him, it was nothing short of humiliation.

Angry eyes glared at them from all directions.

Even Zuo Immortal was among them. Though months had passed, he still remembered that incident vividly. If he hadn't run quickly enough or had a certain skill for survival, he would have surely been cut down.

"There are quite a few familiar faces here. Brother Qin, can your status as Little Immortal Venerable keep them in check?" Lin Fan asked helplessly, his tone exuding resignation. What could they do? That identity didn't seem to be working anymore.

Qin Yang looked at Lin Fan, his gaze clear with its meaning. Bro, in this situation, you tell me—do you think I can keep them in check?

But to Qin Yang, life needed a bit of ambition.

A Little Immortal Venerable without ambition—could you still call that a Little Immortal Venerable?

"Hahaha, I was wondering who it could be—it's you! Last time, you got beaten so miserably, yet you haven't learned your lesson? And, if I recall correctly, weren't you the one who ran faster than anyone else? So does this mean, War King, that in these months you've found some great opportunity, swelled your ego, and now dare to act so arrogantly before me, Qin the Little Immortal Venerable?"

Qin Yang indeed had grown arrogant.

Ever since obtaining the Holy Weapon, he was no longer the person he used to be—people might say he had truly risen.

Even though in the past, War King could humiliate Qin Yang face-to-face.

But now... That era was over.

War King's face turned grim as he shouted angrily, "Qin Yang, are you truly this audacious?"

"Brother Zhan, months without seeing you, yet why does your temper remain so hot? Can't we have a civil conversation?" Lin Fan said with a grin.

War King remained cautious toward Lin Fan.

This person was far too terrifying.

The memories of their prior clash still lingered vividly.

Yet now, War King might not hold Lin Fan in as much regard. After months of grueling cultivation, he believed he had improved tremendously. Once they fought, the victor and defeated wouldn't be apparent beforehand.

"Oh! I didn't expect Brother Zuo to be here too. Last time, you managed to narrowly escape. I must say, Brother Zuo, your ability to flee for your life is truly unmatched. Few in this world could rival you in this regard," Lin Fan remarked with a smile, his words seemingly complimentary. Yet for some reason, Zuo Immortal found them particularly ear-piercing.

At this moment, the Immortals who were previously inside the Dragon Nest had all emerged.

"Everyone, the True Dragon Tree is with them! Don't let them escape!" someone shouted.

Apparently, Qin Yang's domineering behavior had provoked some Immortals' dissatisfaction.

The one issuing the shout remained hidden within the crowd.

No one knew who it was.

But for them, the identity of this person didn't matter anymore. With so many gifted cultivators outside, Qin Yang's status admittedly wasn't something to be trifled with. However, with this many prodigies gathered, could Qin Yang really remain untouchable?

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In an instant, countless gazes locked onto Lin Fan and the others.

War King's massive build emanated an oppressive aura, permeating the surroundings. The opportunity within the Immortal Emperor's Treasure Vault should have been theirs, yet someone else reaped the rewards instead. Such an insult was intolerable.

"Lin Fan, hand over the True Dragon Tree! Such a rare treasure is not something you all are worthy of possessing!" War King roared with fury.

Lin Fan replied, "Everyone, this isn't truly the True Dragon Tree. It's a malevolent object. Giving it to you would only endanger your lives!"

"Bullshit!" War King retorted coldly. "Fellow daoists, it's obvious these people possess the treasure and refuse to hand it over. Also, you may recall the event months ago—this guy dared to flirt with the Flower List Immortal, stirring outrage across the Immortal Realm."

"Instead of hiding somewhere, he dares act recklessly here. He's practically courting death."

Indeed.

Many Immortals began recalling the events of the past.

Yaochi Fairy suffered great disgrace at his hands.

This incident was long known to everyone.

Countless gifted cultivators sharpened their blades, eager to tear him limb from limb. A Fairy, dignified and divine as a goddess—how could anyone dare lay a finger on her? Just cutting off his hands would be considered leniency.

"Damn! This guy's the one who took advantage of a Fairy!"

"Every time I think about that, I feel such pain in my heart!"

"Hmph, with so many prodigies gathered today, there's no way they'll escape!"

Most Immortals' anger toward Lin Fan stemmed from envy. Why couldn't it have been them? Such fortune falling into someone else's hands—it was simply beyond belief.

Unable to endure it any longer, Qin Yang declared, "War King, have you forgotten how the Fierce Phoenix Immortal Emperor described you in the Immortal Emperor's Treasure Vault? You're nothing but a lecherous hypocrite with improper desires toward Luo Fairy!"

"Everyone, listen carefully. When we entered the Fierce Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Cave Mansion, the Immortal Emperor's residual soul appeared and saw through War King, directly stating..."

Before Qin Yang could finish, he was interrupted by War King.

"Dare to spout nonsense and I'll crush you right here!"

War King roared furiously. He used to suppress Qin Yang so thoroughly that he didn't dare utter a word. But now Qin Yang dared to trample all over him? How could he possibly tolerate this?

Qin Yang scoffed, "Crush me? Just with you, this dumb brute? What skills do you have?"

The surrounding Immortals were stunned.

As far as they knew, Qin Yang used to fear War King greatly. But now he was openly mocking and challenging him. What had happened during this time?

He was so bold now.

Was this courage born from sheer recklessness?

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" War King growled, mortified with anger. Qin Yang publicly humiliated him in front of so many people, leaving him utterly disgraced. As a top-tier prodigy, his pride could not be challenged.

Qin Yang answered coldly, "Stop dithering. What's the point in repeating things? If you've got guts, let's fight. Who has time to stand around and trade insults with you? Despite claiming to have some reputation, War King, just admit whether you dare to fight or not."

A commotion erupted!

The crowd murmured in astonishment.

Unbelievable!

Qin Yang was defying the heavens!

Or maybe their ears were playing tricks.

He had directly provoked War King, demanding a duel. As far as they remembered, Qin Yang had always been timid and submissive in front of War King, never daring to act this way.

Lin Fan felt gratified, remarking, "Brother Xiang, Qin Yang really has risen."

Xiang Fei agreed, "Indeed. Nowadays, Brother Qin possesses a Holy Weapon, and his cultivation has reached Golden Immortal. Though War King is strong, he may not be Brother Qin's match."

It wasn't "may not be"—it was a certainty.

Consider the sheer effort they devoted during their recent seclusion, enduring endless torment while refining the Holy Weapon.

"Fine, fine... If you wish for death, then I'll grant it," War King snapped with fury. His Fighting Immortal Body radiated brilliantly, bursting forth with a dominance that challenged the heavens and the earth.

The surrounding Immortals retreated in shock.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Is this the power of the Fighting Immortal Body?"

"An ancient and fearsome body type. In the past, an Immortal Venerable possessing such a body swept through the Eight Desolations, unmatched. War King is clearly gifted with the potential to become an Immortal Venerable."

They envied cultivators who possessed special Immortal Bodies.

Ordinary Immortals might share the same cultivation realm as War King, yet upon fighting him, they would inevitably end up utterly defeated.

Qin Yang indeed felt a touch of nervousness. This was his first time confronting War King.

And he had initiated it.

But to defend the dignity of his role as Little Immortal Venerable, he had no choice but to fight and suppress War King.

"Come on, I've got nothing to fear from you!"

With an angry shout, Qin Yang unleashed his Immortal Dao Laws, spreading across the ground. A storm of mana erupted, instantly enveloping War King.

Boom!

War King's eyes spewed fury; a terrifying image hovered above his head, radiating extraordinary power. He swung a mighty fist, determined to pound Qin Yang into oblivion no matter what.

"Not bad, not bad, you've got some skill, War King. Your cultivation has made progress, but you're still a bit lacking compared to me."

Qin Yang's audacity in verbal insults was undeniably well-known.

"Damn it!"

"Splitting Heaven and Earth!"

War King roared angrily, swinging both fists glowing with brilliance as he performed an extremely advanced Immortal Dao fist technique, imbued with the ultimate strength of Fist Skill.

The surrounding Immortals backed away.

The fist intent was terrifyingly strong.

Standing near War King, one could feel the crushing force's unavoidable presence.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Yang wouldn't have stood a chance against War King. However, during this time, Qin Yang's strength had advanced rapidly. His cultivation had reached Golden Immortal, and he started mastering Heavenly Dao-level Divine Skills. Although just scratching the surface, even this represented an immensely terrifying transformation.

Moreover, he wielded a Holy Weapon.

Its power was inexhaustible, enhancing his attacks not only with his own mana but also with the strength of the Holy Weapon.

"You moron! Do you actually think you can challenge me in Fist Skill?"

War King sneered as he saw Qin Yang swinging his fists toward him.

Possessing the Fighting Immortal Body made him unparalleled in power. Few in the world dared to rival him in fist techniques, and even if someone did, it certainly wouldn't be Qin Yang.

Such garbage.

How could he possibly compete?

Boom!

Their fists collided, and the force rippled outward. The surrounding mountains crumbled under the impact, the Dragon Nest shook violently, and countless rocks broke free and fell.

"What?"

War King was shocked beyond belief. At the moment of impact, he realized Qin Yang's strength was unexpectedly formidable—a revelation he had never anticipated.

"Hahaha..."

Qin Yang laughed confidently, his self-assurance soaring. All of his earlier worry vanished. Beforehand, he genuinely feared he might not stand a chance against War King, but after this clash...

He realized he was stronger than he thought.

He was no longer the same person he used to be.

"War King, you possess the Fighting Immortal Body, and your combat prowess is hailed as unmatched. Yet now, it seems you're nothing special." Qin Yang stood proudly in the Void, his hands behind his back, launching another tirade of verbal assaults against War King.

The surrounding Immortals were dumbfounded.

"Good heavens, what did we just witness? Qin Yang actually forced War King back? Weren't they supposed to have a massive power gap?"

Some Immortals, well-acquainted with the grudges between these prodigies, were deeply astonished.

They had always known Qin Yang was part of an Immortal Venerable Family, yet in the presence of certain prodigies, he couldn't even raise his head.

Today's events, however, completely turned those expectations upside down.

Qin Yang scoffed, "War King, why the shocked expression? Did you genuinely believe that I, Qin Yang, couldn't possibly match up to you?"

"You've severely underestimated the Immortal Venerable Families."

"Back then, I simply didn't want to stoop to your level, constantly yielding to you, because, in my eyes, you were just like immature children, obsessed with outdoing others."

"I thought you would learn to rein yourselves in. But it seems you've spiraled out of control—I cannot tolerate this anymore. So today, I've decided to deliver a proper lesson, to show you there's always someone stronger, and no matter how high you climb, there are heights you cannot reach. Never indulge in arrogance."

Such domineering words.

Killing someone mentally before physically crushing them.
