Chapter 219: Chapter 24: The City Falls, the Demons Rise (Extra Chapter for Alliance Hierarch 'Qtso-Xiaoxiong')
Defeated by the martial arts conception concentrated in that single finger, defeated by the invincible youth\'s Grandmaster strength!
But after Zhou Haitang\'s defeat, another Grandmaster immediately stepped onto the Debate Platform, by the roaring waves of Dragon River, to contend against that dazzling figure!
The Grandmasters present also mostly shared Zhou Haitang\'s sentiment; apart from Mount Wuliang\'s promise, they desired to engage with the martial arts conceptions and strength exhibited by the youth who had vanquished them all, to seek and see the ultimate power beyond their imagination!
Bang!
Bang!
The Grandmasters advancing to the platform were subsequently crushed and sent flying one after another.
They demonstrated their Peerless Techniques, wielding sabers, swords, spears, staves, fists, palms, and divine skills, but in front of that dazzling figure, all sorts of martial transformations seemed to have corresponding countermeasures. In the end, no one seemed able to shake him!
With one young man, the world\'s Grandmasters were suppressed!
The crowd could not budge the tip of that finger!
As no more Grandmasters ascended the stage, all the Grandmasters present, including their kin and prodigies from the nineteen states gathered at Dayu, fell silent, as quiet as the dead!
The only thing standing was that Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, cloaked in divine and fierce flames, sitting tranquilly like a cold-eyed deity, looking down at all beings!
No one else came to the stage, unable to contend any longer!
Whether it was martial arts conception, physical strength, vast Spiritual Thought, or divine authority of Grandmasters, that fourteen-year-old youth had already reached the pinnacle of them all!
Unmatched!
This challenge, initiated by Qin Wuque, had lasted four hours, but the youth had not needed to lift a finger from beginning to end.
His external Divine Soul alone was enough to suppress everyone and even protect that chess piece carved from fragile stone!
One must know, with the strength of a Grandmaster, even a sneeze could shatter that stone piece.
Yet, that otherwise ordinary little stone suppressed all the Grandmasters under heaven, pinning the esteemed Bodhisattva ranked first on the Qian Dragon List to the ground, unable to move, like a despairing worm!
Indeed, aside from the many Grandmasters, the most shocked and affected was Qin Wuque himself.
For four hours, he watched Grandmasters successively come forward and then defeat, yet he himself remained suppressed without any capacity for resistance.
Not only had the youth crushed his body, but he also shattered his Dao Heart!
Qin Wuque\'s eyes had lost their luster. As a fellow pride of heaven, he had topped the Qian Dragon List for three years uncontested, and at nineteen, he had become a Grandmaster, the envy of all. Consider, the famous Duke of Martial Punishment from the Li Family\'s Divine General Mansion, Li Tian Gang, had also only entered the Heavenly Human Realm at nineteen!
In other words, his talent was equal to that of the other!
If nothing went awry, he would surely ascend to the peak in the future, becoming world-renowned, revered and worshipped as a Bodhisattva seated on the lotus platform, receiving billions of devoted prayers!
But now, his Dao Heart was shattered.
The sun had set, and the twilight glow of the setting sun cast a tragic layer of gold paper onto the faces of everyone outside the Debate Platform.
This was not just the twilight of the world but also of the Grandmasters! check-out-MvLeMpYr
Henceforth, a legend unparalleled in history will rise.
A young man will ascend on the wind, suppressing the world at fourteen with a single finger!
They also understood that from today on, that name on the Qiankun List will shine like a blazing sun, dominating over all the pride of Dayu for eight years!
This record, no one could break!
The middle-aged Arhat\'s face was ashen, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and a trace of fear and wariness.
Not only was that youth\'s cultivation speed extraordinary, but his actual combat strength and martial arts conception were unimaginable, a talent so divine it seemed as if a sage had reincarnated, incomparable to anyone.
Given time, perhaps within a decade, he might even stand shoulder to shoulder with those old fellows from the Four Stands Realm!
He took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart, and said solemnly and earnestly:
"Donor, since no one can debate with you now, you should let go, right?"
Li Hao responded indifferently, "I said before, I need to hear it from him personally. Otherwise, how would I know he has conceded? Perhaps he still has a trump card up his sleeve. You should give him a chance to express himself, don\'t hinder him."
Even with thirty years of serenity nurtured through reading scriptures, the middle-aged Arhat nearly spewed blood in anger upon hearing Li Hao\'s words.
Even the Buddha is about to get angry.
I hinder him? To hell with you!
Qin Wuque was on the verge of losing consciousness, his Dao Heart dissolving, yet Li Hao was unrelenting.
To admit defeat out loud?
That was the last vestige of Qin Wuque\'s determination, and if that too were shattered, he\'d live forever in the shadow of Li Hao.
The middle-aged Arhat clenched his teeth, restraining his fury, and said, "Li, mercy should be shown where it can. Do you really want to make an enemy of Mount Wuliang?"
Li Hao sneered inwardly; weren\'t they enemies already? But these things could be done behind the scenes while not so easily spoken of outright. He replied blandly:
"Elder, you\'re overstating. This is merely a normal martial debate. How can we speak of making enemies? He challenged me, and if it\'s to end, he should be the one to say so. If you wish to seek justice, why didn\'t you speak up when he challenged me?"
"Using his first place on the Qian Dragon List to challenge me, ranked fifth—clearly it was bullying. Why didn\'t you object then?"
The middle-aged Arhat was at a loss for words, agitated inside. He glanced at the Hermit Tianji beside him; Tianji Tower was said to grasp the secrets of heaven, omnicompetent, with nothing in the world hidden from their sight.
But, this youth had made his name known throughout Qingzhou, revealing his Fifteen Li Realm cultivation level, and only then did the world recognize such a demonic talent.
