Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

As the fight grew more complex, the audience watched in stunned silence, their hearts in their throats. They didn't even dare to breathe.

On the other hand, Di Nufeng, who was on the spectator stand, was getting more and more riled up and active. She was constantly cheering and shouting loudly, "Hit him! Hit him!

"Do a right hook! Yes! Try to hit the midline of his body[1]!

"Oh no, be careful!

"Eh? Why are you picking up a brick? That thing…Oh, nice! Good job, my disciple! That's the right force! Do a left hook with the brick!"

As Wang Xuanling sat next to her, he was feeling increasingly annoyed. Yet, the act of shouting at her would just embarrass himself. At this moment, he wished he could just block his hearing.

It was almost as though Di Nufeng's blood boiled with a love for battle. The more physical the fights became, the happier she seemed.

Even Scholar Sun, who was watching from a spectator stand farther away, heard her shouts. "Haha! Ah Feng sounds so happy!"

"You don't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation, do you?" Elder Huang frowned.

"Yikes." Scholar Sun gasped, feeling the bone-chilling air from the top of Mount Shu enter his lungs. "Given the current situation, it looks like Chu Liang might actually defeat Xu Ziyang..."

"If he becomes the head disciple and Ah Feng becomes the grand peak master…" Elder Huang gazed into the distance and continued, "I can't even imagine how the Mount Shu Sect would turn out in the future."

Xu Ziyang could never have imagined that, in the eyes of some, he already bore the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the future of the Mount Shu Sect.

As he tried to counter the sudden explosive power of Chu Liang's Brick Combat Technique, he found himself overwhelmed. Even with three heads, he couldn't withstand such repeated strikes.

He needed to change his tactics and moves now.

Compared to Chu Liang, his change of moves would have to be much more drastic.

Suddenly, this explosive force of qi unleashed from within him and he forced Chu Liang back with his six arms, fighting to create that brief opening.

Then, he formed seals with his six hands at the same time.

Bam…

A pale blue ripple spread from his body, as if some kind of shackle had been unlocked.

Then, a storm started brewing!

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ziyang's body expanded in size by several times over, transforming into this colossal golden figure with the height of seven or eight zhang. Still, he maintained the Three-Headed and Six-Armed Form.

If his previous form resembled a celestial deity, he now resembled a real celestial soldier!

He used the Immortal Art: Form of the Heavens and the Earth!

The effect of this immortal art was straightforward: it simply resulted in a growth in size! Legend has it that when this art was mastered to the highest level, one could become enormous enough to reach the sky, filling the entire world!

At this moment, Xu Ziyang was merely seven or eight zhang[2]

Thankfully, a restriction was already in place on the arena. As his body grew larger, the arena expanded accordingly, preventing him from stepping into the audience area.

However, the distance between him and Chu Liang remained the same.

Chu Liang watched as Xu Ziyang transformed into a giant.

He didn't panic or run, knowing that escaping at this moment would be meaningless.

With his godlike Metallic Body, towering eight zhang high, just one step would allow Xu Ziyang to traverse the distance that would otherwise require several uses of Dimension Compression.

It was terrifying!

Some might think that such a giant figure would be clumsy, but this was not a struggle of the Form of Heaven and Earth. He remained agile as he strode forward.

Chu Liang wouldn't even consider the childish notion of a mouse playing tricks on an elephant.

A bigger size didn't necessarily mean better, but overall, it was countless times stronger than a smaller size.

With his six hands, Xu Ziyang could form the Heavenly Sword Seal while two of his hands performed the Form of the Heavens and the Earth. While he executed the Heavenly Sword Seal, his body expanded crazily in size!

The flying sword, which he had yet to summon back, ascended into the sky, transforming once again into a massive beam of light.

At this moment, the beam of sword light fit perfectly in the giant's hand.

With his enormous Metallic Body, Xu Ziyang brandished the colossal sword.

He swung the sword down with the might of an awe-inspiring divinity!

This strike was powerful enough to slash gods and devils!

…

When Xu Ziyang, in his divine form, unleashed his full power, Chu Liang stopped concealing his own abilities. With a single thought, he instantly fused a Dragon-Blood Crystal into his body.

Boom!

His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. With the activation of the Dragon-Blood Crystal, his strength instantly elevated to the later stage of the Golden Core Realm!

This alone was astonishing. After all, many remembered when he achieved Core Formation. At that time, he was renowned for forming an ultimate-tier Golden Core.

How long had it been since then?

He had already reached the later stage of the Golden Core Realm?

What kind of speed was this?

However, in the face of the immense power unleashed by Xu Ziyang, even a cultivator at the later stage of the Golden Core Realm would not be strong enough to fight back.

The audience watched as Chu Liang formed a seal with his hands, and an ancient, profound formation diagram suddenly materialized out of thin air behind him.

Simultaneously, the four puppets under Chu Liang's control mimicked his actions, each one conjuring a formation diagram imbued with spiritual qi behind them.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth...

The five formation diagrams materialized and immediately connected, forming lines in the air. As they converged, a huge vortex of spiritual qi formed, trapping Xu Ziyang's giant body within.

"It's the Five Elements Formation Diagram: Celestial Trap!" someone exclaimed.

Indeed. It was the Celestial Trap!

This was the reward they received after winning the Mountain God Memorial Ceremony and this formation was intended to be used by an entire team. However, after Chu Liang successfully mastered the Army of Beans, he discovered that each puppet possessed a set of comprehensive abilities and he could activate the formation diagram with these puppets.

The only challenge was that he had to divide his attention five ways to set up this formation while controlling his four puppets.

However, there were advantages. Since he controlled both himself and the other four, the execution of the formation diagram was as smooth and coordinated as moving his own arms and fingers. This made it far more synchronized than if five separate people were attempting it.

At the very least, the power Chu Liang could wield on his own was definitely much stronger than leading an entire team with Lin Bei and the others. This was why he had the confidence to challenge a disciple of a higher cultivation level.

Rumble—

The vortex grew stronger and stronger, gradually forming a barrier of spiritual qi that blotted out the sky and covered the sun. A chaotic mass created from the five elements transformed into a raging storm that swept everything away. Everything on the stage was engulfed, making it nearly impossible to see inside!

The audience in the spectator stands fell silent in shock time and again, their eyes wide as they watched the shadowy figure within the storm on the stage. No one had expected the fight to reach this level. Regardless of whether Chu Liang won or lost, his performance in this fight had conquered the hearts of every single spectator present.

As of now, they considered him a prodigy!

Every spectator knew that his name would undoubtedly stand out among the younger generation of the sects in the Divine Nine and Terrestrial Ten!

Boom—

Xu Ziyang swung the massive sword with both arms, slashing fiercely at the chaotic mass within the vortex of the Celestial Trap, causing the ground to shake and the mountains to tremble.

After a brief stalemate, he brought his other two pairs of arms forward, forming seals with each pair of hands and pushing them ahead.

Rumble!

It was as though he held a dark golden thunder dragon.

With a fierce motion, he launched the thunder into the chaotic mass, causing the vortex to rumble and destabilize.

Chu Liang had all his puppets unleash their foundational qi in unison with his own. He had already exerted himself to the utmost.

With a fierce shout, he pushed the Celestial Trap forward again, the chaos imbued with spiritual qi clashing against the eight-zhang Metallic Body.

To everyone's astonishment, this force of attack matched the power unleashed by Xu Ziyang!

The heavens shifted dramatically! The heaven and earth echoed with a mighty roar!

Finally, this fierce struggle reached a critical point and exploded violently. A terrifying chaotic storm spread out! If it weren't for the restrictions in place, everyone would have had to flee!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

1. This is a line in Ip Man 2. This phrase, commonly used in martial arts, advises against direct confrontation with an opponent. Instead, it suggests finding a strategic advantage by attacking from a different angle. It emphasizes the importance of using tactics and intelligence rather than relying solely on brute force. ☜

2. The height of twenty meters or 65 feet is diabolical lol ☜
