Chapter 1740: You Win
"What? Luo Hanzhou is actually going to fight him?"
The swordsmen of the Western Sword Domain all stared at one another in disbelief. With Luo Hanzhou's strength, what qualifications did Ling Feng have to be his opponent?
"Hmph, so what if he agreed? That brat is just asking for humiliation."
"Exactly. A mere Human Emperor dares overestimate himself. At most, he's just trying to attract attention. He knows this is only a spar and that his life isn't in danger, so he came up here to show off."
"Hahaha! Well said. There are always people like that wherever you go."
"He's going up there to make a fool of himself!"
Long Aotian sneered viciously. He himself had been defeated by a single punch from Luo Hanzhou, so he naturally believed Ling Feng would also be defeated by a single punch.
Long Tengyuan was his blood-related younger cousin from the same clan. Because of certain circumstances, he had not immediately gone to settle accounts with Ling Feng.
However, it was not too late now.
Long Aotian had already made up his mind. Once the tea gathering ended, Ling Feng's death would follow.
The brat was doomed today!
Ling Feng remained completely unmoved by the mockery of these insignificant people. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked at Luo Hanzhou across from him and said calmly,
"I watched your fight just now. If you don't use your full strength from the start, you'll probably regret it."
"Hahahaha!"
The moment those words left his mouth, laughter immediately erupted around him.
Even Xiao Juanyun had lost to Luo Hanzhou, yet Ling Feng still dared to speak with such arrogance and make such outrageous claims.
The kid was probably an idiot!
Even Long Aotian could not help sneering.
"I thought anyone capable of defeating Li Tianxing might at least be someone noteworthy. Who would've thought he's actually a fool!"
Unexpectedly, Luo Hanzhou stared at Ling Feng with utmost seriousness. The aura surrounding his body surged upward layer by layer, growing increasingly powerful.
His attitude left everyone utterly confused.
Even when facing Xiao Juanyun, Luo Hanzhou had never appeared this serious.
What a terrifying aura!
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes.
Although Luo Hanzhou had not used his vitality power, the aura alone was enough to qualify him as a humanoid ferocious beast.
Ling Feng found himself somewhat curious. Just what kind of cultivation methods did the martial practitioners of the Northern Cold Domain use to forge such domineering and tyrannical physiques?
Fortunately, while Luo Hanzhou's aura was powerful, Ling Feng also possessed Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength. In terms of sheer presence, he was no weaker than Luo Hanzhou.
Buzz! Buzz!
The void trembled.
As the two auras clashed, neither side gained the upper hand.
A violent gale instantly swept outward from the center of the two men. Even the entire pavilion began to sway slightly. The Western Sword Domain experts who had been mocking Ling Feng moments earlier all revealed expressions of utter shock.
This martial practitioner from the Eastern Spirit Domain seemed far stronger than they had imagined!
"Hmph, he's just putting on a show!"
Long Aotian clenched his fists.
After all, having a strong aura did not necessarily mean having strong combat ability.
"Interesting. Take one of my punches!"
With a low shout, Luo Hanzhou shot forward like a bolt of lightning. His fist exploded outward, releasing a howling wave of fist force.
What incredible speed!
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly before a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.
Luo Hanzhou truly was an opponent worth fighting.
Had he not already watched the battle between Luo Hanzhou and Xiao Juanyun, even he might have suffered a disadvantage at their first exchange.
However, with the Eye of the Emperor, every advantage and flaw in Luo Hanzhou's fist art had already been thoroughly exposed before him.
In a pure contest of martial techniques, Ling Feng already stood in an invincible position.
"What is going on?"
The martial practitioners from the Northern Cold Domain were completely dumbfounded.
They had discovered that Luo Hanzhou was actually fighting with his full strength!
Did dealing with a mere Extreme Human Emperor really warrant that level of seriousness?
Meanwhile, the swordsmen of the Western Sword Domain looked as though they had swallowed cockroaches.
No matter what, they did not want to admit that the perpetually weakest Eastern Spirit Domain had produced an expert stronger than themselves.
And not just slightly stronger.
Truly strong!
Yet Ling Feng's actions left them even more stunned.
He stood motionless where he was, as though frightened senseless by Luo Hanzhou's terrifying power. More than a dozen fist shadows locked onto him, but he remained completely still.
Even without vitality power, being struck by all those fist shadows at once would likely leave a person either dead or half-crippled.
Xiao Juanyun frowned, inwardly puzzled.
What exactly was Ling Feng doing?
Had he made such a high-profile entrance only to get beaten up?
However...
Just as Luo Hanzhou was about to reach him, Ling Feng moved!
The two figures crossed past one another.
Luo Hanzhou's expression became incomparably solemn. Clenching his fist tightly, he gritted his teeth and said,
"You win."
The crowd was utterly bewildered.
However, when they looked more closely, they discovered that a thin crimson line had appeared across Luo Hanzhou's neck.
