Chapter 360: The Pillar in the Middle of the Stream (Part 1)
It was clear that Elder Dongfang Chongming wanted to hide.
However, Yu Han Yan not only didn't cooperate but also completely turned her body away, forcefully exposing him and taunting, "That's your son, what are you afraid of? If someone looked at me like that, I wouldn't be able to bear it. I'd definitely slap him twice!"
Dongfang Chongming curled up, trying his best not to be seen by his son, and said, "You're the one who gave birth to such an amazing son? Even if you had another ten thousand years to plant seeds, your family wouldn't have this kind of luck."
Yu Han Yan proudly said, "At least I'm not afraid of my son."
Dongfang Chongming said, "I enjoy being afraid of my son. What's wrong with that? Have you eaten our family's spirit rice?"
"Then why are you hiding?"
"I've fathered sixty or seventy children, you say I'm not man enough?"
Dongfang Chongming retorted angrily.
"..."
Yu Han Yan was actually left speechless by this rebuttal.
This guy's words made sense. I'm not talking to you anymore.
Bai Jing sat facing Ning Xue Jian.
Bai Jing had zero interest in this guy; he was well aware that this guy's mouth was like a cesspool.
Anyone who talked to him would be jinxed.
So, from the start of the Martial Marquis battle until now, Ning Xue Jian had tried to strike up a conversation numerous times, but Bai Jing acted like a deaf man, refusing to respond.
Oh well, I'll just ignore you. You can talk until your mouth is dry, but I'll pretend I didn't hear a thing.
Now that a descendant of the Bai family was fighting, Ning Xue Jian had even more to say.
"Hey, Old Bai, is this your how many-greats grandson?"
"It's a miracle your family hasn't been wiped out yet."
"He doesn't look anything like you at all. Was he a product of an affair?"
"Is this really your family's bloodline? Did you do a DNA test?"
"You could do a paternity test, it's not that hard."
"Why aren't you saying anything? Seeing this product of an affair, are you disappointed? So disappointed that you don't want to talk?"
"..."
To be honest.
If it weren't for the assembly and the presence of Yan Nan and Dong Fang Sansan, Bai Jing swore that he would tear Rui Qian Shan to pieces and throw him into a cesspool!
What a foul mouth!
This guy was really something else.
He gritted his teeth and watched the battlefield, determined to ignore him.
Say whatever you want.
But whether Bai Jing spoke or remained silent, Ning Xue Jian continued enthusiastically, speaking non-stop.
The words coming out of his mouth were filthy and vulgar, almost unbearable to hear.
The battle on the field was peaceful. Bai Xu and Dong Fang Zhe were both steady and cautious, neither of them impulsive by nature.
They were also very composed.
They would only attack when they found an opportunity.
So, for a while, the battle became a stalemate.
Yan Nan took a glance and said, "With two cautious people fighting, as long as they don't use underhanded tricks, it's likely to be a draw."
Dong Fang Sansan smiled, "It should be a draw."
Indeed.
In the following battle, Bai Xu and Dong Fang Zhe both displayed several of their signature moves, but neither gained an advantage. From then on, it was a stalemate until the end.
A tie.
Both sides had one win, one loss, and one draw. For the fourth battle, it was back to the starting point.
The draw result was...
"The fourth battle, Only Righteous Sect's Fire Initial Flame versus Guardian's Fang Che."
Boom! Everyone's spirits were visibly lifted.
These old rivals had actually met here.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Previously, the battle between Bai Xu and Dong Fang Zhe had been so dull that many people would have started snoring if it weren't for saving face for Bai Jing and Dongfang Chongming.
Finally, the climax had arrived.
However, Feng Xiang Dong frowned.
Xue Wan Ren and Yu Zhong Kuang also frowned simultaneously.
Because Fang Che was ranked first but was drawn by the opponent's fifth player, which was very unfavorable for the upcoming battle.
But that's how the draw worked, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Fire Initial Flame flew out, shouting, "Fang Che! You with the surname Fang, get out here!"
Fang Che walked with his hands behind his back, exuding a carefree aura, and smiled lightly, "Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. I just beat you up and killed your uncle, your grandpa, your dad, and your mom. It's not a big deal. Before a big battle, you should calm your mind and not make rash moves, or you'll give your opponent an opportunity."
Everyone's scalp went numb listening to this.
Despite saying this so lightly, you killed his entire family, and you can still speak so calmly? That's not easy.
Fire Initial Flame was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he took a deep breath and said, "You son of a bitch, I don't need your advice."
Fang Che shook his head and sighed, "Your family is dead, and if I don't educate you, who will? You don't need to thank me; it's what I should do."
Fire Initial Flame's defenses were instantly shattered.
He roared and charged forward.
In the crowd.
Mo Gan Yun and the other three covered their mouths, huddled together, and laughed so hard their shoulders shook.
Further back, Ding Jie Ran also buried his head and laughed so hard his whole body trembled.
They felt that after such a long time, Fang Che's venomous tongue had not only not deteriorated but had become even more refined.
"Fire Initial Flame must be so angry his liver is about to burst," Yu Zhong Ge sympathized.
"This guy is an idiot. He has to insult people before fighting, but he can't out-insult Fang Che, so he's just asking for a beating," said one of them.
"That's true. To be honest, from the very first day I saw him, I've wanted to punch that face of his. It's not because I know he's from the Night Demon Sect, but his face just looks like it needs a beating!"
Mo Gan Yun's words resonated with Yu Zhong Ge and the other two, and they nodded together, "You're right, this guy is really asking for it!"
...
In the spectator stands.
Dongfang Sansan asked calmly, "Is this Fire Initial Flame the disciple of the Flame Demon?"
Yan Nan hummed and said, "Is this Fang Che your secret weapon?"
"The Flame Demon's disciple will definitely lose."
Dongfang Sansan affirmed.
Yan Nan glanced at the situation on the field and sighed, remaining silent.
On the field, Fire Initial Flame was dominating with an overwhelming offense, while Fang Che wielded a long saber, dodging and weaving.
At the beginning, the two exchanged a palm strike.
Fang Che had sensed that Fire Initial Flame's condition was unusual and that he definitely had an intention.
But he pretended to be unaware, acting as if he was underestimating his opponent.
After the palm strike, he instantly understood: "This guy is filled with high temperatures, like a body formed from molten lava."
His palm felt scorching heat, and this heat seemed to penetrate his body.
Sensing something amiss, he also understood Fire Initial Flame's thoughts and secretly activated the Boundless Dharma Scripture to silently dispel the burning heat.
However, Fire Initial Flame's left hand, which had exchanged palms with Fang Che, was never used again.
This made Fire Initial Flame's eyes light up, and a smug look flashed by: "Fang Che! Give me your life!"
Fire Initial Flame brandished his sawtooth flame saber, the saber wind howled, and the heat was oppressive.
As the battle progressed, his spiritual energy continuously surged, growing hotter and hotter.
Gradually, the air in the entire battlefield became hazy and turbulent.
His hair, face, and skin gradually turned dark red.
He roared madly, his momentum like a rainbow, his killing intent surging like a tide, yet he couldn't harm Fang Che at all.
But a high-temperature field had already formed.
Fire Initial Flame's entire body was like a fiery human, raging and burning.
This was the Flame Demon's unique skill; within the high-temperature field, others would be affected, but their unique cultivation method allowed them to thrive in it.
Thus, it seemed that Fire Initial Flame had gained the upper hand.
Yan Nan scowled and said, "Your Fang Che is quite cunning."
Dongfang Sansan sighed and said, "He has a bit of wit, but not much."
"This guy deliberately let his opponent set up a flame field, obviously intending to kill." Yan Nan hummed.
Dongfang Sansan said, "Even if he kills someone, it's the referee's negligence. Moreover, his success in killing is not high; out of ten, it's not even half."
Yan Nan nodded, "He still knows nothing about the higher-ups."
Dongfang Sansan smiled faintly, "Just a little cleverness, easily seen through."
With these simple and casual evaluations, the two stopped talking and watched the field with interest.
Yan Nan thought to himself: Just a casual remark is enough; this guy still seems a bit impatient with Fang Che.
Dongfang Sansan thought: A casual remark to belittle him will make him more anxious. I'll just pretend I haven't seen Fang Che's true abilities.
...
On the field.
Fire Initial Flame's momentum was like a rainbow, and his sawtooth flame saber had completely transformed into a ball of red flame. Fang Che blocked consecutively.
The two sabers clashed continuously, the sound echoing.
The force was mighty and heavy, and the noise continued to spread.
The killing intent permeating the entire field was ten times more intense than the previous three matches combined.
Everyone watched with wide eyes.
Fire Initial Flame roared with laughter, "Fang Che, aren't you so tough? Aren't you so powerful? Weren't you attacking me? Why don't you..."
Before he could finish his words,
Fang Che, who was almost cornered, suddenly shouted and seemed to counter with all his might! Holding the saber with one hand, his momentum was like a rushing thunder.
This strike was incredibly powerful.
With a loud clang, the two sabers met, and Fire Initial Flame retreated a step, his shouting interrupted.
Then Fang Che seemed to be stimulated and flipped over, striking again with his saber.
Within the high-temperature field, he unleashed eight consecutive saber strikes, each mighty and heavy, directly overpowering Fire Initial Flame, who retreated eight steps, his face turning red.
But he quickly devised a countermeasure; as the saber blades crossed, his left palm struck out, emitting a flame palm force.
With each palm strike, a burning fire dragon appeared in the air.
Fang Che's left hand was forced to block.
But after three palm strikes, smoke rose from his sleeves.
He had no choice but to retreat.
"Hahaha..."
Fire Initial Flame laughed loudly, relentless in his advantage, and charged forward.
Another palm strike.
"Well done!"
This time, Fang Che didn't retreat; instead, his body suddenly rushed forward.
His left hand directly grabbed Fire Initial Flame's left hand, and smoke rose instantly, but he held Fire Initial Flame's hand tightly, and the two sabers clashed in the air.
With a loud clang, sparks flew.
To outsiders, it seemed that Fang Che was injured, as smoke rose from his hand.
But Fire Initial Flame, as the one involved, was horrified, as Fang Che's strength had increased by more than double, and he couldn't break free from his grip.
Moreover, his flame power didn't seem to cause any harm to Fang Che; instead, a powerful force dragged his body towards Fang Che.
However, to outsiders, Fire Initial Flame appeared to be on the offensive.
"Ah..."
Fang Che screamed towards the sky, seemingly burned beyond endurance.
But his knee rose with invisible ferocity.
Boom!
With all his strength, he slammed into Fire Initial Flame's vital point.
This was his final plan, to kill Fire Initial Flame on the spot! Fire Initial Flame's progress was too fast, and his opportunities were too good.
The last time Fire Initial Flame was mysteriously saved, it made Fang Che suspect a 'heaven's favored child.' Now, after such a long time, seeing his tremendous improvement, Fang Che felt that something extraordinary was happening.
If Fire Initial Flame had faced others, this sinister skill would have caused unimaginable damage.
So, Fang Che's killing intent blazed fiercely! He ruthlessly struck Huo Chu Ran's lower abdomen with his knee, and before he could even feel a moment of joy, he let out a sigh.
Because just as he unleashed half of his strength, a hand directly grabbed his thigh, stopping him.
Yun Du had made his move!
Immediately, the two were separated.
Huo Chu Ran's left hand had shattered like flour.
Yun Du stood in the center, his face turning dark.
He had been deceived by Fang Che.
Just as he was about to announce Fang Che's defeat, the situation suddenly reversed.
This kid had created such a situation, intending to kill right under his nose!
A knee strike that could have been fatal, and although Yun Du had stopped it immediately, half of the force had already blasted into Huo Chu Ran's lower vital point.
As soon as they were separated, Huo Chu Ran staggered, his head tilted back, and a mouthful of blood mixed with shattered internal organs and flesh spurted out.
His body went limp and fell to the ground.
His left hand, like flour, broke upon hitting the ground.
Yun Du's face turned ashen, and he used his spiritual energy to protect Huo Chu Ran's heart pulse, controlling his injuries, and then stuffed a spiritual pill into his mouth.
Finally, he managed to block half of the force.
The five viscera and six entrails could still be saved with a divine pill, but the lower vital point and vital point had completely turned into a mess.
To recover, they would need the Only Righteous Sect to deploy high-level pills...
But even under Yun Du's refereeing, such a fatal injury still occurred, leaving all four of them with no face.
Huo Chu Ran spat blood but managed to stay conscious, staring at Fang Che with bloodshot eyes, "You...what happened to your hand?"
As long as Fang Che's hand was truly injured, Huo Chu Ran felt it was worth it. This was his last hope.
"This?"
Fang Che extended his left hand, as white as jade, and then showed both hands, white with a hint of red, unique among the crowd.
He flipped his hand and said, "Oh, it's charred! It hurts so much, it hurts so much, hahaha... Were you waiting for this?"
Fang Che's expression was exaggerated.
"You..."
Huo Chu Ran coughed up a mouthful of blood, so angry that he fainted, unable to even curse.
His last glimmer of hope was shattered! He had cursed throughout the match, dominating most of it, but Fang Che's single counterattack had left him half-dead.
This reversal stunned everyone.
"In the fourth match, Guardian Fang Che wins!"
Fang Che's warm smile, bowing politely, and then he turned to the other side and said with concern, "I'm sorry, Brother Huo, are you okay? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
Huo Chu Ran had already fainted and couldn't hear a word.
But these words, with their feigned sincerity, made Wu Shuang and Bi Ding from the opposing camp clench their teeth in anger, glaring at Fang Che with extreme hatred.
How far will you go to bully others before you're satisfied? Even in this state, you still dare to mock us.
Fang Che didn't hear a response, so he leaned over to look, then spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "He fainted? I didn't even use much force, and he fainted."
He looked at Wu Shuang across from him and said, "Hey, are all of you from the Only Righteous Sect so weak?"
The people on the other side immediately exploded.
"You with the surname Fang! Wait and see, we'll have our chance!"
Fang Che laughed heartily, "Scare me...hahaha, Huo Chu Ran also tried to scare me, and now look at him, hahahaha..."
The remaining seven people on the other side almost spat blood, barely managing to control themselves from charging out.
This guy is so damn despicable!
Even Bing Jian, who had been eliminated and was sitting on a small bench in the elimination zone, jumped up in anger.
Fang Che laughed heartily, his demeanor extremely arrogant, and with that, he turned and left with a swagger. As he walked, he waved his hand, "I won! That guy's eggs are smashed, hahaha... His eggs are smashed!..."
Over here, Feng Xiang Dong and the others naturally understood that he was taunting the other members of the Only Righteous Sect, and they joined in with a burst of laughter.
"Big Brother Fang is so cool!"
"That guy was so arrogant, I thought he was tough, but his eggs got smashed! Hahaha..."
"I'm laughing so hard, his eggs are smashed, poor guy, hahaha..."
"..."
On this side, there was laughter and cheers, welcoming the hero's return, while on the other side, the seven people's faces were as dark as charcoal.
In the spectator stands.
Yan Nan said indifferently, "Dongfang, this little guy is a bit annoying. You need to go back and educate and protect him properly."
Dong Fang Sansan replied indifferently, "Protection isn't necessary. Hardship in the rivers and the cream will rise to the top. There's no need for excessive attention."
...
"In the fifth match, Wu Shuang of the Only Righteous Sect versus Chu Wu Qing of the Guardians."
Fortune turned, and now it was the Only Righteous Sect's turn to be dissatisfied.
The top-ranked person on their side was drawn against the opponent's ninth-ranked.
As expected, in this match, Chu Wu Qing lost.
But Wu Shuang's plan to create an opportunity to kill or cripple Chu Wu Qing also failed.
After Fang Che's treacherous trap in the previous match, the four referees were clearly more alert.
In the sixth match, Bi Ding of the Only Righteous Sect faced Xue Wan Ren of the Guardians.
This match was interesting.
The two names shared a homophonic character.
Bi Ding asked a question at the start, "Xue Wan Ren, what's your relationship with that Xue Wan Shi who was so scared he shat on the arena?"
Xue Wan Ren's face turned dark, and he angrily replied, "What's it to you?"
Bi Ding said, "How can this not concern me? What if you suddenly shit while fighting and it lands on my shoe, or splatters onto me? I need to be prepared."
Bi Ding looked down at his expensive clothes with concern.
