Chapter 1139: Sichuan's Number One Cultivator
After the alliance between the Chu family and the Han family, they are destined to soar to great heights!
Establishing ties with these two families now is undoubtedly a lucrative deal!
"Swoosh!"
As everyone was extremely excited, a heavyweight figure stood up at this moment.
"Oh my heavens! Master Bai is going to make a move!"
Seeing this person stand up, everyone around was shocked.
The person who stood up was an elderly man with graying hair, revered by those around him as Master Bai.
"Master Bai, Bai Tiankui."
"The number one cultivation master in Sichuan!"
"His formation and spell prowess are praised even by the Divine Realm Expert Xu Changfeng!"
"He is also the cultivator most likely to step into the God Realm, and it's said that he already has one foot in the door of the God Realm!"
This Master Bai indeed lives up to his heavyweight status; his mere standing up prompted many to exclaim in awe!
Bai Tiankui's influence is truly immense.
As soon as he appeared, numerous cultivators paid their respects to him.
However, before Master Bai could make a move on Zhang Xiaoshan, a middle-aged man stepped forward.
This middle-aged man cupped his fists to Bai Tiankui and said with a smile:
"Why use a bull knife to slaughter a chicken?"
"This reckless young brat doesn't even deserve to die at the hands of Master Bai!"
"Allow me, Zhou, to act on behalf of Master Bai and deal with this person."
Zhou Tao asked Bai Tiankui for permission with great respect.
This Zhou Tao is also quite a character.
He himself is an expert at the middle stage of Qi Transformation.
Unfortunately, he pales in comparison to Bai Tiankui.
After Zhou Tao finished speaking, Bai Tiankui nodded slightly and said, "Very well."
"After this, I will arrange a Nourishing Yuan Array for you to solidify your foundation and nourish your Qi."
Hearing Bai Tiankui's words, Zhou Tao was overjoyed!
Due to his depleted Qi, he had been stuck in the middle stage of Qi Transformation for a long time.
With Bai Tiankui's help in arranging the Nourishing Yuan Array, he would certainly make further progress.
Among the onlookers, someone enviously said:
"Zhou Tao was injured in his early years, leaving him with depleted Qi. With the help of the Nourishing Yuan Array, breaking through to the late stage of Qi Transformation is a certainty."
"In the future, he might even get a glimpse of the God Realm's splendor, which is truly enviable."
These words naturally made Zhou Tao feel quite pleased; he looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with killing intent and even started to envision the beauty of the God Realm in his mind.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid you won't get the chance."
Zhou Tao was initially stunned upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha..."
"You reckless lad, how dare you be so arrogant."
"Did you think that by defeating a Gang Qi Realm martial artist earlier, you've become invincible?"
"Do you even understand the might of Qi Transformation?"
As soon as Zhou Tao's words fell, the crowd was shocked to see a deep purple protective Qi emanating from his body!
"Such a powerful protective Qi!"
Witnessing this scene, someone immediately exclaimed.
Qi Transformation experts all have this powerful means of protective Qi.
Zhou Tao's protective Qi was especially formidable.
On the ceremonial stage, Han Yuan exclaimed joyfully:
"With an expert like Zhou Tao taking action, this lad is undoubtedly doomed."
Chu Xiaoxiao beside him was equally delighted in her heart.
This time there should be no suspense; facing an expert like Zhou Tao, Zhang Xiaoshan simply has no chance of survival!
In many people's eyes, after Zhou Tao displayed his protective Qi, Zhang Xiaoshan could only plead for mercy.
Although he previously wiped out an early-stage Gang Qi martial artist with ease, it was evident he had not reached Qi Transformation.
And any Qi Transformation expert could easily annihilate all Gang Qi martial artists.
Yet no one anticipated that at this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan would choose to make a move!
"What?"
"He, a Gang Qi martial artist, dares to challenge the might of Qi Transformation?"
This scene left many present utterly dumbfounded.
Opposite Zhou Tao, Zhang Xiaoshan calmly took a step forward.
His cold voice reached Zhou Tao's ears:
"Is this level of protective Qi what you dare to show off?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's words were incredibly audacious.
After all, Zhou Tao was an expert at the middle stage of Qi Transformation, having been entrenched there for many years.
How could his protective Qi not be strong?
While the onlookers were shocked, Zhang Xiaoshan dared to continue making a move against Zhou Tao.
However, they all sneered at his words.
"This lad truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"He has no idea how formidable the protective Qi of a middle-stage Qi Transformation is, which is why he dares to speak such boastful words!"
A Qi Transformation martial artist shook his head, knowing without looking that Zhang Xiaoshan was in for trouble.
Opposite Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhou Tao couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
In all his years of cultivation, he had never encountered any Gang Qi Realm martial artist who dared speak to him this way.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan took a step forward, unleashing a punch that tore through the air.
His punch landed squarely on Zhou Tao's protective Qi.
In that instant of impact between the fist and protective Qi, the smile on Zhou Tao's face instantly froze!
The following scene was even more unexpected for everyone present!
