The battle began, and Feng Chen from the Qianchen Sect pointed a finger, causing a sudden burst of green light.

A four-foot-long bamboo appeared, smooth at one end and sharply cut at the other, aimed directly at Zhangsun Fengye.

“It’s said that this bamboo has an extraordinary origin. It was accidentally obtained by an ancestor of the Qianchen Sect and is one of the sharpest divine weapons in the world without needing any forging.”

“Feng Chen being able to wield it shows he has some real skill.”

“My old man once said that the Holy Son of the Qianchen Sect in this era is stronger than the previous ten generations combined and must not be underestimated. If he doesn’t meet an untimely end, he will surely lead the Qianchen Sect to new heights.”

“Rumor has it that on the day Feng Chen was born, many places in the Libing Star Domain experienced anomalies. Green light covered countless stars, purple clouds shrouded the Qianchen Sect’s original spirit vein, and myriad streams of light descended from the sky, creating a spectacular scene.”

The onlookers outside the arena watched the battle intently.

Many Heaven’s Prides from the Imperial Province discussed Feng Chen with a tone of amazement.

Feng Chen’s strength, among the evildoers of the thirty-six sects in the Imperial Province, would surely rank in the top ten. After all, not everyone can cause such celestial phenomena at birth, revealing various scenes of fortune.

Listening to the discussions, Chen Qingyuan felt a bit worried for Zhangsun Fengye, but more afraid of having to compensate with three Fortune Green Lotuses.

“With the madman’s ability, he definitely won’t lose.”

Chen Qingyuan had no choice but to trust him.

What about the evildoers of the Imperial Province? They still only have one head.

Thinking this, Chen Qingyuan’s mood gradually calmed down.

At this moment, there was a change in the arena.

Whoosh!

Feng Chen, holding the green bamboo segment in his right hand, swiftly attacked Zhangsun Fengye.

Dozens of blurred afterimages appeared on the arena, accompanied by the sound of space shattering.

“Boom…”

The sound of the battle roared, and after dozens of moves, a streak of blood splattered into the air.

Only a few noticed that the first to be injured was Zhangsun Fengye, whose left shoulder was slashed open by Feng Chen’s bamboo segment, bleeding profusely.

Zhangsun Fengye really didn’t want to use forbidden techniques. Although he could control them, prolonged use might lead to unexpected consequences. However, to fully master the forbidden techniques and reach the great accomplishment stage, he had to use them repeatedly and integrate them thoroughly.

Thus, Zhangsun Fengye unleashed his darker side, with black energy swirling around him, his hair standing on end and wildly dancing.

Clang!

Facing Feng Chen’s fierce stab, Zhangsun Fengye extended his left palm, taking the blow with his bare body, unharmed.

“I heard there’s a demon sealed inside you. It seems it’s not an ordinary one.”

Feng Chen sensed Zhangsun Fengye’s change, especially his black eyes, which seemed to come from another world, exuding a cold and eerie aura.

“Let me see how capable you are.”

Zhangsun Fengye’s lips curled up in a strange smile, his face covered in dense black Dao Marks, exuding a sinister aura.

His voice sounded incredibly hollow, as if it had traveled through a vast valley.

From initial probing to full-force attacks, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves in a short time.

Swish—

Feng Chen found a great opportunity and pierced Zhangsun Fengye’s left chest, creating a huge bloody hole. If one looked closely, they could see the heart beating through the wound.

This strike indeed caused Zhangsun Fengye some pain.

However, Zhangsun Fengye did not stop his offensive, summoning thunder in his palm, breaking through the sky with one strike, piercing the entire arena.

Boom!

Feng Chen swung the bamboo segment, forming hundreds of protective forces in front of him, all shattered by Zhangsun Fengye’s palm.

Fortunately, by the end, most of the palm’s power had been consumed, and Feng Chen easily defended against it.

Boom—

The two fought more fiercely, the scene becoming uncontrollable.

Due to the intensity of the battle, the arena completely collapsed, greatly affecting the spectators, forcing them to retreat and collectively erect a barrier to avoid being harmed by the residual force.

“Open!”

Seeing that he couldn’t suppress Zhangsun Fengye, Feng Chen activated another form of the bamboo segment.

The once fierce bamboo segment became soft.

After releasing the bamboo segment, a green river appeared in the void.

Feng Chen stood on the green river, with a Dao Diagram of Heaven and Earth under his feet. With a simple gesture, he could control the power of Heaven and Earth, greatly enhancing his strength.

With a casual flick of his finger, countless streams of green water gathered at one point, targeting Zhangsun Fengye.

“Disperse!”

Zhangsun Fengye waved his sleeve, containing his own pressure.

The water indeed scattered into the river, but the next moment it reformed, even faster.

Pfft!

The green water column pierced through Zhangsun Fengye’s right shoulder.

For the first time in years, Zhangsun Fengye was injured to such an extent by a peer.

Looking down at the wound, he showed no anger or fear, only intense excitement.

Licking his lips, Zhangsun Fengye slowly walked toward Feng Chen, revealing a chilling smile. “Not bad, keep going!”

What a freak!

Feng Chen thought this strike would cripple Zhangsun Fengye, deciding the outcome. Who would have thought Zhangsun Fengye, though injured, still had the strength to fight?

Moreover, Zhangsun Fengye seemed to look forward to even more severe injuries.

Bang!

Taking advantage of Feng Chen’s momentary distraction, Zhangsun Fengye slapped him into the ground, creating a deep pit.

Immediately, the ground shook, and the entire ancient star of Yanchang seemed to tremble a few times.

“Kid, don’t get distracted when fighting me, or you’ll lose your life easily.”

Zhangsun Fengye kindly reminded.

“Bastard!”

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Feng Chen angrily rushed out of the ruins, stepping on the green river, wielding Dao Laws.

Boom—

In an instant, the two clashed again, the battle even more chaotic than before.

This fierce confrontation made the spectators’ blood boil and filled them with tension.

“The leader of the Ten Heroes of the Northern Wilderness lives up to his name.”

“To be fair, if Feng Chen hadn’t relied on the power of a treasure, it would be hard for him to fight Zhangsun Fengye.”

“Weapons are part of one’s strength, there’s no arguing that.”

“If I were to fight, I’d probably have lost long ago.”

Many people whispered, knowing well the gap between themselves and the top evildoers, a gap not easily bridged by effort alone. Some things indeed require innate talent.

“Madman, you better hold on!”

Chen Qingyuan could afford to lose some spirit stones; at worst, he wouldn’t profit much from this bet, just skim a little off the top. But compensating with three Fortune Green Lotuses would be a huge loss.
