“Peng!”

In the midst of the conversation, Xu Taiping in the bronze mirror landed a heavy punch on the knee of Tian Qi, who had swung his leg at him, followed by another punch to his groin, causing Tian Qi to frown.

This was the first time Tian Qi had shown this expression since using this evil technique.

And this was just the beginning. Xu Taiping’s second Charging Bull Formation began to take shape with this blow.

“Peng peng peng!…”

Accompanied by the thunderous sound of the bull’s roar, Tian Qi’s ghostly footwork was gradually suppressed, forcing him to once again only be able to defend himself.

Seeing this scene, the several examiners who were ready to take action all put down their weapons.

Clearly, this was not the time for them to intervene.

Encountering outer disciples practicing evil techniques was not uncommon for them, so they did not panic.

“No, it’s impossible. How could I lose to a brat like you!”

Realizing that he was about to fall into defeat again, Tian Qi was both shocked and angry.

He began to use the evil technique recklessly, and his red True Qi surged again, making his body even more robust.

“Peng!”

But what made him feel desperate was that Xu Taiping’s Charging Bull Formation was also increasing in power, and at a faster rate than his evil technique.

“The hundredth punch!”

In this match, Xu Taiping suddenly shouted excitedly.

Then, his fist, like a cannonball, once again smashed into Tian Qi’s sturdy thigh.

“Peng!”

With a loud noise, Tian Qi staggered and almost fell.

At this moment, Xu Taiping’s one hundred and first punch had caught up.

“Peng!”

This punch landed heavily on Tian Qi’s chest, directly knocking him to the ground.

“Roar!”

Tian Qi, unwilling to accept defeat, opened his mouth and let out a roar, and his blood-red True Qi exploded, as if forcibly activating some kind of secret technique.

“The hundred and third!”

In response to him, Xu Taiping’s punch came down with the momentum of a herd of bulls.

“Peng!”

The punch shook the arena, and Tian Qi’s blood and energy were forcibly scattered.

“No!”

Tian Qi’s face contorted in frustration.

“Peng peng peng!…”

He wanted to continue to fight desperately, but before his blood and energy could rise, Xu Taiping’s punches continued to scatter them.

“One hundred and eighth punch.”

Finally, the second Charging Bull Formation also reached the one hundred and eighth punch.

And this was also the best punch Xu Taiping had practiced since learning the Green Bull Fist.

“It’s not over yet, it’s not over yet!”

Realizing that he was on a dead end, Tian Qi suddenly bit off his own tongue and then recklessly burned his blood and energy with his evil technique.

“Roar!”

In a non-human-like roar, Tian Qi’s flesh and blood suddenly swelled, and his figure completely transformed into a half-human, half-wolf monster, biting towards Xu Taiping.

Facing this monster, Xu Taiping did not retract his fist.

At this moment, he was extremely confident in his own fist, feeling that even if the Tiger Demon at its peak came before him, he could still knock it down with one punch.

Xu Taiping faced the monster’s head with a firm gaze and smashed it with a heavy punch.

“Peng!”

With a loud bang, the monster’s head was smashed to pieces.

And the arena under their feet was completely shattered by this punch.

“Boom!”

For a moment, dust filled the air.

When the dust settled, Xu Taiping’s face was revealed in the bronze mirror.

Although it was only a bird’s-eye view, his focused and vigilant eyes, as well as his tense body, still gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

“Is this really the same Xu Taiping from three years ago?”

Zi Yan looked at Xu Taiping in the bronze mirror, looking astonished.

She found it hard to connect the Xu Taiping in front of her, who had killed an evil practitioner with just his fists, with the young man who had been protected by Qingxiao and Linglong three years ago.

“It’s him.”

Qingxiao smiled at this moment.

“Although his physique has grown a lot and his appearance has changed a bit, this determined and resolute gaze cannot be wrong.”

He continued to mutter.

He still remembered Xu Taiping’s determination to go down the mountain to practice for three years after being tested with the White Spirit Bone three years ago.

“Yes, it’s him.”

Linglong also nodded vigorously.

“However, Little Taiping must have suffered a lot in these three years.”

She seemed carefree, but in fact, she was very delicate, and she could see the scars on Xu Taiping’s arms and the blood seeping from his fists, which were wrapped in cloth.

“It’s okay, after we go up the mountain, Senior Sister will protect you!”

After being emotional for a moment, Linglong suddenly regained her optimistic look, and she put her hand on Qingxiao’s shoulder, making a solemn promise.

“It’s too early to talk about this now.”

Qingxiao, who had already relaxed his brows, frowned again and stared at the bronze mirror in front of him.

“Didn’t Taiping win this match?”

Linglong looked at Qingxiao with confusion.

Qingxiao did not explain, but just pointed to the bronze mirror and said:

“See for yourself.”

At his words, Linglong and Zi Yan both turned their gaze back to the bronze mirror.

At this moment, the image in the bronze mirror happened to be reflected on a large signboard.

And as Qingxiao continued to enlarge the image, Linglong and Zi Yan immediately saw two familiar names listed together – Xu Taiping and Lu Yuan.

“Little Taiping’s next opponent… is actually Lu Yuan?!”

Linglong looked surprised.

“The Dragon Gate’s draw is managed by the Black Dragon Elder, so there was no tampering this time. It can only be said that Taiping’s luck is really not good.”

Qingxiao smiled bitterly.

“Senior Brother, how strong is Lu Yuan’s cultivation level?”

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhao Linglong turned to Dugu Qingxiao with a hint of worry in her voice.
