Chapter 761 - 121: Sparring
Wei Qing’s response was within Han Zhan’s expectations.
Only the fervor of the public exceeded his expectations.
"It’s Lord Han Zhan!"
"It’s truly Lord Han Zhan!"
"It’s the real person! I’m so lucky!"
"Ah! I saw the real person, ah!"
Seeing Han Zhan appear, the crowd suddenly became excited and boiling.
But they still maintained a high level of rationality.
No one rushed forward, nor did the excited crowd block the road again.
The quality of the Great Xia people was demonstrated at this moment.
Han Zhan nodded to both sides as a simple greeting.
Then he stepped forward and walked ahead.
"Ah Zhan." Gongyang Jin changed her usual cold demeanor and gave him a radiant smile.
Seeing this scene, another commotion erupted in the crowd.
"It’s rumored that the unyielding Gongyang Jin only smiles at the closest people."
"Truly envious of Lord Han Zhan."
"It’s the other way around, we should be envious of Lord Gongyang Jin!" some young Contracted Spirits retorted.
Listening to the discussions around her, the smile on Gongyang Jin’s face remained unchanged, as she moved closer to Han Zhan and asked softly.
"How are you doing? Getting up so early, can your body handle it? Why not rest a bit longer?"
The smile on Han Zhan’s face stiffened.
"Why wouldn’t I be able to handle it? What a joke." Han Zhan gritted his teeth and said, in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Gongyang Jin’s smile intensified.
The Contracted Spirit girls had suffered from Han Zhan for a long time; ever since he mastered the Supreme Physique, they lost more often than not in the competitions.
Now, with the addition of Feng Xiaozao, who possessed a Divine Body, the situation had reversed.
Returning to the main topic.
Wei Qing also walked over quickly, urging impatiently:
"Quick, quick, quick, come on!"
"Let’s have a duel, a duel!"
"..."
Han Zhan saw Senior Brother Wei Qing’s impatient look and was left speechless.
"Senior Brother, both of us are Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses; if we seriously spar, this martial arts arena might not withstand our antics, right?"
Han Zhan wanted to politely decline.
He came here just to find Xiao Jin, not to have a bout.
However, Wei Qing obviously didn’t intend to let him off so easily.
"Are you kidding!" he raised his voice significantly, "Do you still think this is the old arena?"
"Bob has long since modified this place, and even Tier Nine Ultimates can spar here without worry!"
"Don’t believe me, look."
As Wei Qing spoke, he tapped lightly on the Celestial Net Chip near his ear.
With this action,
An invisible, transparent light wall suddenly rose around the martial arts arena, covering the entire area.
"As you can see, this is a new technology jointly developed by Lin Jingxuan and Bob."
"We call it the Profound Origin Light Shield."
"It can withstand the attacks of Tier Nine Ultimates, theoretically, as long as the energy supply continues, it can persist indefinitely."
Wei Qing was very knowledgeable about it because, after its development, he was its most frequent user.
Now, Han Zhan had no more reasons to refuse.
"Go ahead, you haven’t shown your skills in front of the Great Xia people for a long time." Gongyang Jin also urged with a smile.
Indeed.
Fights at such a high level are entirely invisible to ordinary people, and fights at a lower level don’t require Han Zhan.
The leaders and heroes advocated by the Great Xia official shouldn’t be so low-key.
Only, if he were to use Senior Brother as a "stepping stone"...
"Don’t worry too much." Wei Qing spoke as he saw Han Zhan’s gaze, "I’m a Martial Fool. As long as I can have an exhilarating battle, nothing else matters."
Hearing Wei Qing’s words, and observing the eager and expectant crowd around him, especially the young Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits who are the future of Great Xia.
"Alright."
"Since that’s the case, I’ll step into the ring and spar with you."
After Han Zhan spoke, he walked towards the center of the arena.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qing shook his head.
"No, not just sparring." Wei Qing said with a serious face, "I want you to go all out!"
"Use your strongest blow."
"Come on, only this way can my Demon God Body feel the pressure, and the Original Dao Soldiers merge further with me."
"Pointing to end sparring, it means nothing to me."
Wei Qing’s explanation made Han Zhan nod in understanding.
Indeed, the Demon God’s Heart as an Original Dao Soldier wouldn’t appear in peaceful times.
"Alright then, I will give it my all, holding nothing back."
Just as Han Zhan finished speaking, Wei Qing across from him had already initiated the Demon God’s Heart.
A terrifying surge of evil energy poured out from his body at this moment.
Behind Wei Qing, a sky-piercing demonic figure took form.
At the moment the Demon God appeared, the onlooking Great Xia Spirit Contract Masters couldn’t help but feel fear, shrink back, and be astonished.
Fortunately, the Profound Origin Light Shield buffered them, causing them to grit their teeth without retreating.
The Senior Brother is much stronger than when he first broke through... Han Zhan also looked up at that horrifying Demon God, marveling.
"But you’re not the only one getting stronger."
"Come on!" Wei Qing’s low growl rang out from the demonic silhouette.
Han Zhan raised his hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword materialized in his hand.
Following this, the Shennong Cauldron, Fu Xi Zither, Nuwa Stone, Haotian Tower, Kunlun Mirror, and Kongtong Seal also appeared, revolving behind him.
Wei Qing thought he’d miscounted, and counted again.
Indeed, it was seven Divine Soldiers!
His eyelid twitched hard.
But he still controlled the Demon God Body, channeling all Spiritual Power onto his fist, then threw a punch.
Encased in evil energy, the punch, along with the terrifying demonic figure, descended like Mount Tai.
Facing this punch, Han Zhan also fulfilled his promise, unleashing his most powerful sword strike.
Seven rays of light converged on the Xuanyuan Sword’s blade.
He boldly raised his hand, executing a sword strike from bottom to top.
The might of this sword strike was in no way inferior to the Demon God and perhaps even surpassed it.
At the moment when fist and sword clashed,
An unbelievable scene unfolded for everyone.
The seemingly invincible Demon God, first visibly aged in the blink of an eye.
Then countless dense sealing runes adhered to its body.
Next, melodious sounds of the zither and the ethereal Sun Dial projection appeared.
Lastly, an unstoppable Sword Qi gathered into a shocking sword, piercing through the Demon God’s body ablaze with soaring evil energy.
The latter, in the next second, was sent flying backward.
Wei Qing crashed against the Profound Origin Light Shield, and Han Zhan’s sword strike even dispersed the Demon God Body.
A white spiritual energy infused into Wei Qing’s body, healing him from a severe state.
Wei Qing got up from the ground, touched the spot where he’d just been pierced by a sword, and clicked his tongue.
"A true monster."
"Among those like you who are Tier Nine Ultimates, is there truly anyone who can defeat you?"
Wei Qing couldn’t help but marvel.
"There are always others stronger, a realm beyond the world." Han Zhan shook his head, "Besides when you completely merge with the Demon God’s Heart, the damage from that sword just now can be recovered in mere moments."
"Heh, indeed."
Thinking of this, Wei Qing grinned.
He wasn’t affected at all by being "one-shot" killed by the sword.
