Chapter 557 Bai Zihan Vs Feng Xuanye?
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
"Such confidence..."
"As expected of Bai Zihan..."
"He didn't even give face to the Vermillion Pill Empire earlier-how could he possibly take Feng Xuanye seriously?"
To them, Bai Zihan's words were not mere arrogance; they felt almost natural.
Looking down on Feng Xuanye?
Others might not be worthy, but Bai Zihan definitely was.
Yet, not everyone dismissed Feng.
"He is still Feng Xuanye..."
"A Void Refinement expert! He was already very powerful before; he should be even stronger now."
"He definitely has a chance"
"If Bai Zihan underestimates him, he might actually lose."
Meanwhile, at the center of it all, Feng Xuanye's expression had darkened completely.
The anger in his chest surged like a rising tide.
But he suppressed it.
Soon, he would have the chance to return everything.
(Underestimate me while you can. I will make you regret it!)
Feng Xuanye thought.
Bai Zihan casually tossed the half-eaten spirit fruit aside and stepped forward.
He raised his hand slightly.
"Come!"
A simple gesture.
"I'll give you the first move."
Another wave of murmurs spread.
"Giving him the first move?"
"Isn't that too much?"
"That's Feng Xuanye... Bai Zihan is too overconfident. Does he think Feng Xuanye is the
as other cultivators?"
Even those confident in Bai Zihan felt a trace of unease.
This wasn't an ordinary opponent.
But Bai Zihan didn't seem to care at all.
Feng Xuanye's eyes turned cold.
"You'll regret that!"
Boom!
His aura exploded outward.
A terrifying pressure swept across the hall as Qi surged violently around him.
"Mid Void Refinement Realm! Feng Xuanye has advanced to the Mid Void Refinement Realm!"
"Looks like Bai Zihan is in trouble. He has greatly underestimated Feng Xuanye!"
Many were surprised by Feng Xuanye's breakthrough.
At higher cultivation levels, progress slowed significantly, so even a minor realm advancement within thirty years after reaching the Void Refinement Realm could be considered extremely fast.
For Feng Xuanye to do so within a few years, his former fame wasn't for naught.
Whoosh!
The ground beneath Feng Xuanye's feet cracked.
His robes fluttered wildly as he took a step forward-then vanished.
"So fast!"
Several people's expressions changed as they couldn't see Feng Xuanye.
In the next instant, he appeared directly before Bai Zihan.
A punch shot forward.
Space itself seemed to tremble under the force of it.
This was not a probing strike.
It was a full-powered attack.
Feng Xuanye had no intention of holding back.
If Bai Zihan dared to look down on him, then he would crush him in a single
move!
The distance closed instantly.
The punch arrived-and yet, Bai Zihan didn't move.
He didn't dodge, nor did he bother blocking.
He simply stood there, watching calmly.
Feng Xuanye smirked inwardly.
Seeing Bai Zihan remain completely still, he felt a surge of confidence.
(Tsk! I expected more.)
Even though he thought Bai Zihan had underestimated him and was about to lose, he did not hesitate for even a fraction of a second.
His punch continued forward, carrying overwhelming force-but just as it was
about to land-
It struck nothing.
"...?!"
His pupils shrank.
Before he could even react-
Before he could even form the word What-?
Bang!!!
His head was slammed violently into the ground.
"Argh!"
The impact echoed across the hall like a thunderclap.
The floor shattered beneath him, cracks spreading outward in all directions.
For a brief moment, no one even saw what had happened.
One instant, Feng Xuanye had been attacking.
The next, he was already embedded in the ground, unconscious.
Bai Zihan stood where he was.
His hand lowered slowly, his expression unchanged.
As if he had merely brushed aside something insignificant.
He glanced down at Feng Xuanye briefly.
"He can only blame himself for being weak."
His tone carried no arrogance.
Only simple facts.
Silence!
The entire hall fell into absolute silence.
Every single person stared, their expressions frozen.
Shock!
Disbelief!
They had prepared themselves for a fierce battle.
Some had even thought Feng Xuanye might stand a chance.
Yet, it had ended before it even began.
One move!
From beginning to end, it hadn't taken a second.
The Desolate Heaven Empire's side remained quiet, but their eyes were filled
with complicated emotions.
They already knew Bai Zihan was terrifying.
They had seen it before.
But even then-
This was beyond expectation.
Feng Xuanye was not weak.
He was one of the strongest geniuses of the Eastern Region.
A mid Void Refinement expert!
Someone who had fought Great Ascension cultivators.
And yet, he couldn't even force Bai Zihan to take a second step.
On the other side, the Tianyu Empire delegation was completely stunned.
"How...?"
"That... that was Feng Xuanye..."
Defeated in an instant.
It didn't make sense. They had thought that even if he lost, they would at least learn something.
Gauge Bai Zihan's strength.
But now, they have learned almost nothing-except one thing.
That Bai Zihan was terrifyingly powerful.
The representative of the Tianyu Empire stood there, mouth slightly open,
unable to speak.
What had just happened had completely exceeded their understanding.
They had thought that even if Feng Xuanye lost, he would at least showcase his
abilities.
Yet it ended immediately.
Feng Xuanye's reputation would most likely never recover from this.
There was a high chance that in the future, when speaking about geniuses,
many might even exclude Feng Xuanye.
After all, the way he was defeated was too humiliating.
Bai Zihan glanced around.
"Is there anyone else who would like to challenge me?"
He asked casually.
No one answered.
Not a single person.
The same crowd that had been filled with confidence and speculation just
moments ago now stood completely still.
Because what had just happened had shattered every expectation.
Feng Xuanye!
A top genius of the Eastern Region.
A mid Void Refinement expert!
Someone who had the confidence to challenge Bai Zihan in public had been
defeated in less than a second.
Under such circumstances- Who would dare step forward?
Who would be foolish enough to repeat the same mistake?
Even the most arrogant geniuses lowered their gazes.
Challenge him?
After seeing that?
That wasn't courage.
That was stupidity.
Bai Zihan waited for a moment.
Then raised a brow slightly.
"Really no one?"
Still-
Silence!
Bai Zihan clicked his tongue lightly.
"Then I hope next time you don't come forward to challenge me. I am giving you a chance but you all didn't take it."
Bai Zihan didn't want to be challenged again and again, which was why he had
given them the chance now.
"I went easy on him. But I might not be so lenient with the next challenger."
Those words fell-
Unconsciously, many turned their gazes toward Feng Xuanye.
Still embedded in the cracked ground who was still unconscious.
Aside from the blood at the corner of his lips and the shattered floor beneath
him-
He looked almost... intact? At least, he seemed alive.
Then they looked back at Bai Zihan, who had calmly claimed he went easy on
him.
If that was going easy...
Then what would it look like if he didn't?
Turn him into a pool of blood?
Whether Bai Zihan was telling the truth or not, no one was foolish enough to
question it.
