Chapter 217: 3
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The original number one was now suppressed by a single finger from Li Hao, and they couldn’t imagine where Li Hao should be ranked.“You!”
The middle-aged Arhat looked at Li Hao in shock and anger, having never expected the Qilin son of the Li Family to be so terrifying.
When he initially heard that Li Qianfeng had been nearly killed by a chopstick, he thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seemed that this young man might be even more fearsome than they imagined!
At the tender age of fourteen, could this young man already be invincible in the Grandmaster Realm?!
The middle-aged Arhat clenched his back teeth tightly, his face turning ashen as he watched the youth down below who wore a cold smile. From the latter’s eyes, he saw coldness and mockery. He knew that unless he took action himself, this youth was going to cost Mount Wuliang their face!
But if he were to make a move, even if he won, it would be no glorious victory!
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged Arhat looked toward the crowd and loudly said, “The Grandmasters debate the Tao. Esteemed Grandmasters, who is willing to enter a debate with this Qilin son of the Li Family? If you can defeat him, Mount Wuliang will reward you with a precious treasure!”
In his extreme rage, his words still managed to retain decorum as he used the debate as a reason.
But everyone could hear that this was a call for help, hoping someone would assist in defeating Li Hao and redeem Mount Wuliang’s honor.
The so-called precious treasure was likely to be an enormous favor from Mount Wuliang.
Suddenly, many spectators’ eyes began to shine.
After all, we’re talking about Mount Wuliang!
If the True Persons of Gan Tao Palace do not step forward, even the Buddha Lord who suppresses the world cannot face this edge!
If they could earn the favor of Mount Wuliang, as long as they did not kill a prince in public, it would be an absolute talisman for survival!
“Haha, since it’s about debating the Tao, let me bolster the excitement. The vigor of youth, eh? Allow me to experience it for myself!”
Soon, an inspired Grandmaster jumped onto the Debate Platform and said with a big laugh.
Then, he suddenly drew his sword and with his Peerless Technique, a divine aura covered the blade, revealing his majestic presence as if he could split mountains and rivers. He aimed a direct slash at Li Hao’s finger.
The sword’s blade contained an annihilating force, a power of decay that seemed could wilt all things!
This too was an extremely strong expression of the Grandmaster Path.
But where there is decay, there is also rebirth.
Like the growth of grass and the blooming of flowers.
The decaying force did not affect Li Hao; on the contrary, under the reversal of Yin and Yang, an even more overwhelming philosophy enveloped him, instantly oppressing the sword-wielding Grandmaster and shaking him off the Debate Platform.
Defeat!
“I’ll give it a try too!”
Immediately, another Grandmaster stepped up to the platform. Without firsthand contact, it was difficult to sense the mystery within Li Hao’s finger, but soon, this second Grandmaster to ascend was also flung away by Li Hao’s Grandmaster ambience and the Power of Controlling Objects.
One after another!
Grandmasters continued to climb onto the platform from the crowd below, and some had already seen that the young man’s strength was unimaginably powerful, likely unbeatable within the same realm.
But then they thought, after so many people’s consumption, even a Grandmaster has moments of exhaustion!
If they could take advantage of a weakness and earn Mount Wuliang’s favor, then offending this young master was of no concern.
As one Grandmaster after another ascended, they too were rapidly sent flying back.
“It’s Lin Qingfeng!”
“The Great Grandmaster from thirty years ago, is he going to step onto the platform too?”
The crowd looked toward a person, a thin old man who upon standing up seemed to be shouldering the world, his presence as a Grandmaster stepping forth from remote snowy mountains, lofty and untainted.
Many grew tense, uncertain whether the young man could withstand the challenge.
Soon, the old man took to the platform. He carried no weapon but simply reached casually toward the brilliant light at the tip of the finger, as if plucking a fruit with ease.
However, many Grandmasters who saw his action had a change in their expression.
That effortless bearing, that sense of perfection, impregnable, was indicative of the Grandmaster Perfection Realm!
Perhaps with just a sliver of opportunity, he could break free and step into an even higher realm!
That was a realm on the verge of transcending the worldly dust!
The seemingly casual plucking by his hands was teeming with myriad changes, surely no bird could escape his grasp as if it were a caged sparrow.
His palm was like a realm itself, capable of suppressing everything!
However, as his palm approached the vibrant light of the chess piece, suddenly, his hand began to blister and burn, his skin seemed to rot, slashed by countless blades, blood splashing forth.
The casual look on Lin Qingfeng’s face faded, his eyes growing serious, but his hand did not shrink back and continued to reach out.
As he drew closer, more wounds appeared on his arm; the magnificent light in front seemed like myriad sharp blades!
His fingernails fell off, and the nails flipped, the sleeves on his arms completely burst, torn apart!
Until at last, just as his hand was about to touch the chess piece, a wild force surged out, roaring like a tiger, reverberating in his eardrums.
Lin Qingfeng’s pupils contracted sharply, his spirit shaken, his aged body, suddenly sent flying like a burst burlap sack, as if brutally kicked away.
With a thud!
Lin Qingfeng’s body fell outside the Debate Platform, his arm a bloody mess, flesh laid open, a sight too ghastly to endure!
He rose, his formerly otherworldly robes and carefully groomed flowing hair now in disarray and tattered, making him appear utterly disheveled.
Lin Qingfeng lifted his head, a wisp of blood seeping from his mouth, concealed by the disordered hair, shocked beyond words deep in his heart. His gaze moved slowly away from the Debate Platform and landed on another youth seated elsewhere.
He suddenly realized that all along, the true self of that young man had not made a move!!
