Chapter 216: Chapter 216: You and I are bound to fight!

Boom!

As Ren Xiaoguang unleashed his palm strike, the entire arena underwent a tempestuous upheaval, with turbulent currents swirling and shaking the air!

A massive green handprint, the size of a millstone, rapidly descended towards Luo Cheng. Even before it landed, the space around him began to distort, with an ominous sign of collapse.

The crowd stared in astonishment, utterly unprepared for Ren Xiaoguang’s sudden attack.

Feeling the oppressive force of the handprint, Luo Cheng’s gaze sharpened. Gripping the Meteor Sword in his hand, sharp currents surged around him as he prepared to unleash the full power of his six Essence Energy Vortices.

At that moment.

Swoosh!

A petite figure landed in front of Luo Cheng—it was none other than Chen Lingyu.

“Break!”

Though small in stature, Chen Lingyu emanated a unique dominant aura. Her delicate fist radiated a solid jade-like glow as she punched forward with unwavering force.

Boom!

The jade glow clashed with the handprint, and the surrounding space instantly erupted. The violent shock forced Luo Cheng to stagger several steps back, his blood churning within.

“So, this is the combat prowess of a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer first-class martial artist… Truly overwhelming! I’m still far from such a level.”

Luo Cheng steadied himself, his heart alarmed.

The strength of both combatants far surpassed his imagination.

It was no surprise—both Ren Xiaoguang and Chen Lingyu were top-tier experts within the Tongxuan Realm Third Layer.

To rank among the top twenty within the countless Outer Disciples was no small feat. Such individuals were anything but ordinary.

Thud!

Ren Xiaoguang flipped midair and landed steadily on the arena, glaring sharply with fury in his eyes:

“Chen Lingyu, how dare you interfere!”

Chen Lingyu rolled her eyes in mockery, chuckling: “Ren Xiaoguang, what Realm are you in that you think it’s appropriate to attack my junior brother? Do you even know the meaning of the word ’shame’?”

Ren Xiaoguang’s eyes burned red. “An insignificant loser like you dares to yap in front of me? I’ll give you one chance—step aside! Otherwise, I’ll make you regret ever crossing me!”

Chen Lingyu’s eyes turned cold as she spoke unyieldingly, “Last time, you barely managed to beat me by half a move. Do you think I’d be scared of you? I’d like to see how you’d make me regret it.”

“Excellent! I’ll deal with both of you today!”

With a roar of rage, Ren Xiaoguang charged toward Chen Lingyu.

“Green Evil Yuan Gang!”

Mid-rush, Ren Xiaoguang was suddenly enveloped in a layer of green radiance, his face shrouded in a green mist. He struck a palm toward Chen Lingyu.

“Back off!”

Chen Lingyu unleashed her own fury. Stamping the ground, the surrounding space trembled as her petite yet graceful figure surged with power. Her seemingly delicate fists glowed, now resembling weapons forged from gold and jade, as she delivered a thundering punch.

Fist met palm!

The surrounding space froze for a split second.

Then.

Boom!

Violent qi force erupted outward from the clash’s epicenter, ravaging the area.

The ground was instantly shredded into countless fragments, as though cut by a thousand blades!

Facing the oncoming ferocious qi force, the crystal barrier around Luo Cheng twisted and warped violently, forcing him to retreat a few more steps with surprise flashing in his heart.

The strength of the duo exceeded expectations—the residual shockwaves from their clash demanded his full focus to withstand.

Thunk-thunk-thunk…

Amid the raging qi force, both figures retreated simultaneously.

Ren Xiaoguang staggered back twelve steps, each step leaving a deep imprint on the ground!

Chen Lingyu stepped back eleven times.

In the end, Chen Lingyu narrowly edged him out.

Ren Xiaoguang’s expression turned grim, veins bulging as his green aura thickened, his glare fixed intently on Chen Lingyu:

“You’re courting death!”

Boom!

As his words fell, a spiraling stream of water surged behind Ren Xiaoguang, shooting toward the sky. Seven radiating stars appeared, amplifying his aura to an immense degree that resembled a river stretching endlessly across the land!

“Oh? I’m hardly afraid!”

Chen Lingyu took one forceful step forward. Behind her appeared an enormous jade circle, similarly dotted with seven brilliant stars.

Buzz!

Their Martial Souls collided fiercely, creating rippling waves in the air.

“Wow, Ren Xiaoguang and Chen Lingyu are really going all out!”

“They’ve had conflicts before, and the Crown Prince Hall suffered heavily today. With Ren Xiaoguang’s temperament, he wouldn’t let this slide. But who knows who’ll come out above the other this time?”

“I think it’ll be Chen Lingyu. Just now, their direct clash clearly gave her the edge.”

“That’s not certain. A month ago, Ren Xiaoguang suppressed Chen Lingyu throughout an entire duel!”

Ren Xiaoguang and Chen Lingyu ranked among the top twenty experts in the Outer Sect. Their reputations alone drew instant attention the moment they clashed.

As tensions escalated between the two.

Suddenly, an invisible wall of qi appeared in the middle of the arena, forcing both back as it radiated immense energy.

A figure descended onto the arena with imposing aura, emanating power that seemed to pierce the heavens—it was none other than the Fifth Elder.

Separating the two, the Fifth Elder announced loudly, “The Outer Sect Tournament is imminent. If you wish to resolve matters, you may do so in a month’s time. Today, this ends here!”

Ren Xiaoguang, seething with rage, blatantly defied the command, his expression murderous:

“Why wait one month? We must settle this now!”

“Insolent!”

The Fifth Elder’s face darkened, his rebuke thunderous as a storm, forcing Ren Xiaoguang back several steps while blood trickled from his lips.

“You!”

Ren Xiaoguang glared malevolently at the Fifth Elder, veins bulging across his brow.

“What? Do you intend to challenge me?”

The Fifth Elder squinted coldly. “Your Crown Prince Hall may be influential, but it hasn’t yet reached the point where you are above the Sect Rules. Speak any further, and I shall adjudicate you accordingly!”

“Ren Xiaoguang, that’s enough.”

Qi Guyun’s icy voice rang out.

Fixing a deep gaze on Luo Cheng, Qi Guyun stood and said, “Haven’t we embarrassed ourselves enough already? Let’s leave!”

With that, Qi Guyun turned and began to walk out of Martial Arts Square.

Knowing no further battle would occur today, Ren Xiaoguang cast one last venomous glance at Chen Lingyu: “One month from now, in the Outer Sect Tournament, I will make you pay for today!”

“And you, you worthless wretch!”

His gaze shifted to Luo Cheng as he bellowed, “The debt from today is noted! Offending the Crown Prince Hall, you’ve sealed your fate! Wait and see!”

Luo Cheng sneered, utterly fearless: “Don’t worry, I’ll be attending the Outer Sect Tournament as well. At that time, you and I will certainly meet!”

His resolve was unwavering. With the resources he had, he could cultivate nine Essence Energy Vortices and break into the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer! It would elevate his strength sufficiently to challenge Ren Xiaoguang—he wouldn’t allow arrogance to prevail!

“Luo Cheng dares to provoke Ren Xiaoguang!”

Many were stunned speechless.

“Oh? You’ll join the tournament? Good! Very good!”

Ren Xiaoguang’s pupils contracted, and his mouth curled into a sinister grin.

He had been wondering how to find an opportunity to deal with Luo Cheng.

Now, it seemed unnecessary.

So long as Luo Cheng participated in the Outer Sect Tournament, Ren Xiaoguang had countless ways to crush him!

Having secured his target, Ren Xiaoguang wasted no more time. He turned and left with Ren Qian.

With Ren Xiaoguang gone, the other Outer Disciples gradually dispersed as well, their chatter filled with amazement, discussions revolving around Luo Cheng.

Today had been nothing short of astonishing. Many were still dazed, feeling as though reality had blurred!
