Chapter 264 You've Got Some Nerve!!
Qin Zi stared blankly at the young man in the golden robe.
He never imagined that one day he would be fiercely scolded by a peer.
After all, he was Qin DuiDui!
He took a deep breath and then sneered: "Haha, a tiger down on its luck is bullied by dogs. You only dare to act high and mighty in front of me now. How is this different from a dog barking wildly behind its master?"
"Hmm?!"
Jin Zhan's eyes shot out a sharp light, and he said coldly: "It seems you have yet to realize your own ignorance."
"If that's the case, I don't mind showing you what true strength is. I wonder what you'll feel like when you're crawling on the ground."
"Ha ha."
Qin Zi responded with a "Wei Xiang-style" smile.
Seeing Qin Zi's contemptuous "ignorant and fearless" expression, a nameless anger rose within Jin Zhan.
He bowed to the Sun-Swallowing Palace Master and said:
"Please, Palace Master, release him. Let me suppress him so that he loses with complete conviction. It will also serve as an explanation to the world!"
Wow!
The crowd suddenly became excited.
A showdown between two Divine Bodies!
This was a rare spectacle, seen once in a thousand years.
However, the Sun-Swallowing Palace Master was in a dilemma because he knew well of Qin Zi's strength. Even though Jin Zhan also had a Divine Body, what if... he lost?
If even Jin Zhan lost, then the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace's last facade would be gone. At that time, everyone would know that the young generation of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace had been toppled by a single young man.
Even the divine child would be defeated!
The consequences would be severe.
In contrast, directly crushing and scattering the remains of this troublemaker involves much less risk.
Yet doing so would carry suspicions of not daring to fight, and facing so many powerhouses, he would be left open to criticism.
"Palace Master, why hesitate?"
The Grand Elder, seeing that the Sun-Swallowing Palace Master hadn't immediately released Qin Zi, secretly transmitted a question.
"This kid is very odd, and he also has a Divine Body; he's very strong. I'm afraid your student might not be able to take him down."
The Sun-Swallowing Palace Master transmitted back.
"He also has a Divine Body?!"
The Grand Elder was shocked. Divine Body meeting Divine Body among peers was rare.
It is said to be related to fate, similar to like poles repelling each other, and once encountered, it's sure to be a battle of dragons and tigers.
The Grand Elder thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said with determined eyes: "Palace Master, let Jin Zhan go. I believe in him!"
"I know the strength of Jin Zhan. I believe that even among Divine Bodies, he is the strongest!"
"To be born in the same era as him is an unfortunate fate for these young ones; they are destined to be nothing more than stepping stones for him!"
The Grand Elder became more confident as he spoke.
By the end, he was utterly convinced—his disciple Jin Zhan had the makings of the ultimate peak!
The Sun-Swallowing Palace Master scrutinized Jin Zhan carefully, finding the young man indeed extraordinary. From his appearance, he bore the signs of looming dragon coils and tiger crouches, with the faint convergence of a grand worldly force above his head, as vibrant auspices approached from the east.
He was beyond describable value!
If no accidents befell him, such a person is very likely to become a major figure in the future, standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Skies World!
"Alright!!"
Ultimately, the Sun-Swallowing Palace Master chose to believe because the Grand Elder was always prudent, and he trusted that the latter wouldn't speak without basis.
Wow!
With a wave of his right hand, the pressure suppressing Qin Zi dissipated, and suddenly, Qin Zi felt completely relieved.
He felt as though the mountain weighing on him had suddenly been moved away, flooding him with an unprecedented sense of happiness.
Remarkably, he just lay there like the character "Tai," sleeping on the ground, while the surface beneath him gradually became stained with spreading water marks.
It was sweat!
Under the pressure of the Martial Emperor, every muscle in his body had been operating overcapacity, bearing that weight. Now, as the pressure vanished, his body was drained, and naturally, sweat poured out wildly.
"Get up."
Jin Zhan frowned slightly and said.
Qin Zi didn't move.
He even scratched his butt with his hand and continued lying there sleeping, just like an exhausted dead dog.
Seeing this person blatantly ignoring him, Jin Zhan's face became somewhat unsightly, and he increased his voice and shouted:
"Get up!!"
Qin Zi still didn't move.
Jin Zhan's gaze turned sharp, and with a wave of his right hand, a sharp ray of golden light shot towards the area below Qin Zi's waist.
The "·" of the character "Tai."
"Whoosh!!"
The golden light was like a sharp sword, half embedded into the hard ground, then slowly dissipating from top to bottom.
Yet Qin Zi vanished from the spot, as if a chalk outline of a victim flickered on the ground.
"Attacking me while I'm resting, you really are afraid of losing to me."
Qin Zi stood a short distance away, leisurely saying:
"Moreover, the position of your attack is worth pondering, I think you're actually jealous."
"You bastard!!"
Jin Zhan heard the humiliation in those words, his face turned livid, and he attacked fiercely.
"Boom!"
His right hand clenched into a fist suddenly, the collision of his five fingers and palm produced a sound like thunder, and golden chains shot out, only to swiftly converge back, condensing onto his fist.
"Annihilate the Ten Directions!"
Jin Zhan roared, his voice booming like mountains and rivers, an immense force gathering in this punch, aiming to kill Qin Zi.
"So strong!"
Qin Zi felt a slight shock in his heart, sensing immense pressure from this punch, even a lethal sense of crisis.
"His cultivation is higher than mine, he's a Realm Emperor of three tribulations!"
Almost instantly, Qin Zi understood the crux of the issue, and dared not be careless, so he unleashed his Divine Techniques.
"Rising Sun, Dance of the Fish and Dragon!"
He waved his hands, his formidable power spreading out, transforming into a vast azure sea in the air with raging waves.
Within the sea, a massive red sun was slowly rising, occupying half of the sea, hot and boundless.
Simultaneously, with the red sun as the backdrop, nine golden Dragon Fish leaped out of the water, transforming into True Dragons.
"Kaboom!!"
The nine True Dragons dragged the colossal red sun, crushing towards Jin Zhan, as grand as nine dragons pulling a coffin!
"Boom—"
Jin Zhan's fist collided with the True Dragons, immediately shattering the nine dragons like statues exploding.
But at the same time, that fist's light also dissipated.
The colossal red sun, however, moved with momentum, rumbling towards Jin Zhan.
"Kill!!"
Jin Zhan spread his arms, a massive shadow of a Golden-winged Roc rose from his back like a Martial Soul, then dived towards the red sun, unleashing a terrifying collision.
"Rumble!!!"
The blinding light seemed to swallow everything, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes as shockwaves spread like a massive wolf.
Before the explosion even dissipated.
Qin Zi and Jin Zhan charged towards each other, colliding at the center of the explosion, engaging in intense melee combat.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Resounding booms continually emanated from the explosion's center, with light and shockwaves spreading wave after wave, the two fighting as if within the sun itself, an utterly stunning scene.
"Are these really two young Realm Emperor initiates, such combat power... terrifying!"
"Divine Body, this is the Divine Body!"
"Even from such a distance, I can feel that unmatched fierce aura, I, I..."
The crowd marveled, shocked by the strength of these two with Divine Bodies, while some women stood in puddles.
Amidst the rampant light.
The battle reached a fervent intensity, Qin Zi faced the toughest battle since his cultivation, with blood marks even appearing on his body.
It was as if the cracks in porcelain, seeming that the entire Divine Body might shatter into fragments!
Of course, Jin Zhan wasn't faring well either, with even more cracks on his body than Qin Zi, seemingly almost unable to hold on.
"This can't be! How could anyone of my generation rival me, I am the Divine Body, I should suppress all!"
Jin Zhan roared.
The next moment, an incandescent golden glow burst from his body, like molten gold covering him, with the cracks on his body rapidly mending, as if reforging a golden statue!
"Clang!!"
Both of their fists simultaneously struck each other's chests, sending Qin Zi flying back over a dozen meters, while Jin Zhan remained as stable as Mount Tai.
"Strengthening methods? I have them too!"
Qin Zi glanced at the fist mark on his chest, snorted coldly, then decisively performed the Witch Venerable's Body Refining Scripture!
"Buzzing!"
Immediately, his body glowed, all the cracks vanished swiftly, and his physique rapidly grew taller, with mysterious rune patterns appearing on his surface, shimmering with indestructible metallic brilliance!
"Witch Venerable's Body Refining Scripture?!"
At this time, on the square, the Martial Emperor from the Witch God Hall abruptly stood up from the chariot, his eyes shooting out endless sharpness.
Well!
This kid, not only causing trouble at the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, but he even audaciously learned the inherited Cultivation Techniques of our Witch God Hall!
Bold, truly bold!!
