Elder Six of the Zhong family stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, his expression cold and aloof, a powerful aura emanating faintly from him.
“It’s Elder Six of the Zhong Family! I hear that although this person is not the highest-ranking elder within the Zhong Family, he is the one with the most combat experience!” someone exclaimed.
“Damn! Starting off with someone as ruthless as the Zhong family? How are we supposed to spar? Who’s even going to get on stage?” Many representatives from aristocratic families complained.
“Does anyone want to spar with Elder Six of the Zhong Family?” The referee looked around and asked.
There was much discussion, but no one dared to accept the challenge.
Zhong Yuan stood on the spot, looking in the direction where Qin Yimo was. His eyes were arrogant.
Qin Yimo, I will let you see with your own eyes how high the Zhong family’s status is in Jiangnan and how strong our strength is!
Elder Six of the Zhong family stood on the high platform, his eyes cold and emotionless as he looked down at the crowd on the bridge.
“Our Cao family wants to go on stage and spar!” At this moment, a voice finally appeared.
The speaker is Cao Ziyuan, representing the Cao family.
“We have sent out Cao Yuan, the elder of our Cao family!” Cao Ziyan shouted loudly.
Behind Cao Ziyan stood a gray-haired old man. He took a step forward, stepped on the bridge’s railing with one foot, and effortlessly leaped onto the platform above.
Cao’s challenge caused an uproar throughout the arena!
The Cao family is one of the few martial arts families that have developed rapidly in recent years, second only to the Zhong, Wu, and Luo families.
At the previous Martial Arts Sects Summit, the Cao family won against three other martial arts families in a row before finally losing to the Luo family.
But this time, they dare to directly challenge the Zhong family, who are the three strongest families!
Brave! Stand your ground!
Many prominent families looked at Cao Ziyan with admiration in their eyes.
But there are also quite a few people who hold other views.
“I think the Cao family took things too far this time, directly challenging the Zhong family. If they suffer a crushing defeat, their face will be lost big time. Even if they want revenge, they have to wait until three years later…”
“That’s right, if we don’t win, things will be bad. The Cao family attracted a lot of support from secular families based on their performance at the last summit and gained quite a bit of benefits. But by challenging the Zhong family right at the start today, if they lose, it won’t just be about losing face. Their family interests will be greatly affected…”
“Let’s just see, the Cao family is playing a risky game here. If they win, their fortunes will skyrocket!”
On the platform, the three referees had already retreated from the platform, leaving Elder Six of the Zhong family and Cao Yuan on the platform.
The sparring begins!
Cao Yuan’s face grew serious, and a wave of energy erupted from his body as he made the first move.
He knew that Elder Six of the Zhong family was extremely powerful, so he had to strike first and take the initiative.
Cao Yuan rushed to the Sixth Elder’s side and roared, punching with his right fist.
“Not bad speed, but your punching power is too weak.” Elder Six of the Zhong family coldly spat out a sentence. He waited until Cao Yuan’s fist neared him before suddenly clenching his fist and striking out with a powerful punch.
His punch, originating from nothingness, was incredibly fast.
“Click!”
Two fists collided, and Cao Yuan let out a scream of pain. His body flew backwards, his right fist gushing blood; it looked like the bones were completely shattered.
Elder Six of the Zhong family did not give up. His figure flashed, appearing above Cao Yuan and then stomping on his chest with his foot.
“Bang!”
Cao Yuan let out a scream and collapsed heavily on the platform with a thunderous sound.
At this moment, Cao Yuan’s mouth was full of blood, his chest caved in, and he had lost his voice.
It seems, he’s dead…
The entire audience was silent.
At just a glance, Cao Yuan was defeated!
How terrifying is the strength of this Sixth Elder of the Zhong family?
Elder Six of the Zhong family looked down at Cao Yuan, his eyes cold, and lifted his foot.
“Splat!”
Cao Yuan’s body fell into the lake.
At this moment, Cao Ziyan’s face was as pale as snow frost, and his whole body was trembling.
Cao Yuan was already the strongest fighter in their Cao family, but facing the sixth elder of the Zhong family, he was defeated so thoroughly that he even lost his life!
Most importantly, after today, the Cao family’s reputation will surely plummet!
“Cao, Cao Yuan has been defeated. Who else is going to take the stage?” The referee stammered, coming back to his senses.
An eerie silence surrounded them, with no one daring to speak.
They all knew the Zhong family was powerful, but they never expected it to be this strong!
Cao Yuan didn’t seem weak, but he died such a miserable death!
Who else dares to go on stage? Isn’t this courting death?
Many people looked in the direction of the Wu and Luo families, finding that the representatives of both families also had solemn expressions and horrified eyes.
For the Wu and Luo families, they would rather acknowledge the Zhong family as the first martial arts family in Jiangnan than have a clan member of the Grandmaster realm be crippled or killed.
Even the Lian and Luo families wouldn’t dare to accept the challenge.
It seems that after this Martial Arts Family Summit, the Zhong family is about to solidify its title as the number one martial arts family in Jiangnan.
Everyone felt deeply moved.
Another minute and a half passed, but still no one dared to challenge.
Zhong Yuan wore a smug expression, once again looking in Qin Yimo’s direction.
See? This is the power of our Zhong family! We are not inferior to your families in Beijing!
“If no one dares to fight, then we’ll have Elder Six of the Zhong family step down…” the referee said.
Seeing the sixth elder of the Zhong family kill Cao Yuan without hesitation, he no longer held back.
Elder Six of the Zhong family had cultivation at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining period. Absorbing his cultivation would allow me to break through at least two realms.
“I…” Fang Yu was about to speak.
“Although I don’t know if it’s proper or not, I want to send my people up to try it.” At this moment, Zheng Xiuchen, who was not far away, spoke up.
The Zheng family wants to take power!?
There was an uproar all around.
Zhong Yuan’s face changed slightly, and he looked at Zheng Xiuchen.
“How is it? Doesn’t work?” Zheng Xiuchen asked the referee.
“Well… the Zheng family, as a martial arts family from Huaibei, probably…” The referee said with some difficulty.
“Oh, if not then it’s alright. I have no intention of causing a stir at the Zheng family. I’m just a little curious, would Elder Six be stronger than the people I brought?” Zheng Xiucheng smiled faintly.
Seeing the arrogance on Zheng Xiuchen’s face, Zhong Yuan’s face darkened.
This person clearly looks down on the Zhong family, and even the entire Jiangnan martial arts family!
Well then, let’s get this show on the road! Today, the Zhong family is going to make a big splash! We’ll stomp all over the Zheng family from Huaibei!
“It’s alright, I agree to have someone from the Zheng family take the stage.” Zhong Yuan said loudly.
“Brother…” Zhongli Yu’s face changed slightly, wanting to stop him.
“They’ve stepped on our heads, and we should just bear it?” Zhongyuan said to Zhong Liyu. “Besides, I believe in the Sixth Elder’s strength; he can definitely easily defeat the Zheng family.”
“Since the representative of the Zhong family has no objections, then the Zheng family can send someone onstage.” The referee said to Zheng Xiuchen.
“Sān hùfǎ, are you alright?” Zheng Xiuchén asked the old man behind him.
“Master, of course I have no problem.” The Third Dharma Protector replied.
Having said that, the three protectors of the Zheng family vanished instantly.
An exclamation rippled through the crowd.
Upon further glance, the Third Dharma Protector was already standing upon the high platform.
“This, what kind of body technique is this? The speed is too fast, right?” someone exclaimed.
Below the stage, Fang Yu looked at the three protectors of the Zheng family, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This person’s cultivation base is in the later stage of foundation establishment, and their strength surpasses that of Elder Six of the Zhong family by more than one level.
Unless something unexpected happens, Elder Six of the Zhong family will be killed instantly.
“Let’s get started!” the referee shouted.
The three Dharma Protectors of the Zheng family emanated a chilling and imposing aura.
Elder Sixth of the Zhong family’s expression grew solemn, losing all traces of his earlier ease.
He knew that the opponent before him was by no means inferior to him in strength.
Elder Six of the Zhong family roared, and a faint white true energy rippled around his body.
He suddenly raised his right palm and struck out with a powerful blow!
“Boom!”
A powerful burst of energy shot towards the location where the three guardians of the Zheng family stood.
Zheng family’s three Dharma protectors vanished in a flash.
This palm strike missed!
Where is the person?
Elder Six of the Zhong family’s eyes narrowed, focusing all his attention on searching for the figure of the three protectors of the Zheng family, with utmost vigilance.
“I am here.”
The next second, a cold voice came from above his head.
“How is this possible…” Elder Six of the Zhong family’s face changed drastically, he raised his head.
At this moment, the three guardians of the Zheng family had already struck out with a palm!
This palm struck directly at Elder Six of the Zhong family’s head!
“Bang!”
Just like a watermelon being smashed, Elder Six of the Zhong family’s head instantly burst, red and white splattering everywhere!
There was a stunned silence all around, as if no one had quite grasped what had happened.
But moments later, a cry of surprise and screams erupted!
Elder Six of the Zhong Family! Killed in one strike!
When Zhongyuan saw this scene, his face twitched, and his heart was about to burst!
He never would have imagined that Elder Six could be defeated like this!
“Brother…” Zhongli’s complexion was as pale as paper, his lips trembling.
The smell of blood from the high platform wafted around.
Some people who have never seen this scene couldn’t help but vomit.
Elder Sixth of the Zhong family on stage was still standing in place, but his head had vanished. Blood continued to spurt from the severed wound on his neck.
Zheng Jia’s three Dharma Protectors kicked Zhong Jia’s sixth Elder’s stiff body into the lake with one foot, then looked around arrogantly and said coldly:
“Who else wants to go on stage?”
There was a deathly silence all around.
Everyone stared at the three protectors of the Zheng family in shock.
Even the strongest, Elder Six of the Zhong family, was killed in one strike. Who else dares to take the stage?
Who goes on stage is looking for death?
“If you’re not brave enough to go on stage alone, you can go up together. I fear nothing.” Zheng Jiasan Hufa said again.
This statement is undoubtedly a mockery of the entire Jiangnan martial arts world!
Many prominent families felt shame, but there was nothing they could do. Their strength was indeed far inferior to the Zheng family.
The strength of the martial arts world in Jiangnan has always been recognized as the weakest in all of China. Now, facing the Zheng family from Huaibei, this point is proven once again.
“If no one comes on stage…” The referee beside him spoke in a lower voice.
A deathly silence still hung in the air.
The entire Jiangnan martial arts world has been trampled under the feet of the Zheng family from Huaibei! Their reputation is in tatters!
The referee sighed and said, “I declare, the Zheng family…”
At that moment, Fang Yu took a step forward and said:
“I want to try it.”
