101: Chapter 101 I didn't like what he said, and I didn't give him any face either.

"Zhou Yunpeng?"

Seeing the person flying over from a distance, Xiao Xuance, who already had a stifled burst of Qi in his heart, immediately let out a cold snort: "I was wondering who it was, and it turns out to be you, my former defeated opponent. Could it be that you've forgotten the humiliation of being driven back by a single spear strike of mine during the Qin Family banquet?"

If it were anyone else, Xiao Xuance might have been somewhat worried that this place would actually fall into someone else's hands.

But facing Zhou Yunpeng, his former defeated opponent, Xiao Xuance was not worried in the slightest.

Back then, he had been able to defeat Zhou Yunpeng without even using his full strength. Now that he had achieved a Breakthrough into Foundation Establishment and obtained the true teachings of Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai of the Golden Core Realm, dealing with Zhou Yunpeng now would be more than effortless.

Listening to Xiao Xuance's mockery, Zhou Yunpeng did not get angry; instead, he smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Xuance, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't take a fleeting moment as eternity. Besides, who said I am the one you have to deal with?"

As he spoke, a trace of an eerie smile appeared on Zhou Yunpeng's Face, and his body moved, dodging slightly to the side.

A young man with a head of fiery red hair and extremely eerie pupils walked out from behind Zhou Yunpeng.

"If my Junior Brother Zhou won't do, what about me?"

Looking at Xiao Xuance, a provocative look appeared within the eyes of this young man with fiery red hair.

"Zhou Yuanjun?"

Looking at the person who appeared, a trace of solemnity flashed across Xiao Xuance's Face. The fingertips gripping the spear shaft couldn't help tightening slightly, turning somewhat pale.

He naturally knew of Zhou Yuanjun's reputation.

According to the information gathered within the School, among all those from the Shangyang Sect who entered this Secret Realm in the Foundation Establishment Realm, Zhou Yuanjun's strength could be ranked first.

Zhou Yuanjun was now already at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation, and even possessed the formidable combat record of slaying multiple people of the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

Facing such a powerhouse, if a conflict were to truly break out, it would be difficult to be his match relying solely on one's own strength.

But right now, the Opportunity was right before him. If he were to give up just because Zhou Yuanjun was much stronger than him, how could Xiao Xuance be reconciled to that?

Staring closely at Zhou Yuanjun, Xiao Xuance spoke: "So it is Senior Brother Zhou. This Opportunity was discovered by us first, but this door is truly heavy. Why don't you and I join forces to open it together? After entering, whatever Opportunity we can obtain will depend entirely on our own methods. How about that?"

Facing Zhou Yuanjun, Xiao Xuance certainly didn't dare to speak in the arrogant tone he used earlier.

Once a conflict broke out, he would definitely be the one to suffer losses.

Right now, he could only discuss it with Zhou Yuanjun first and cooperate with him to open this stone door first.

When the time came, as long as they entered, relying on the methods left behind by his master, he would definitely be able to seize some important Opportunities, and then use the remaining Shuiyue Sect Disciples as cover to slip away while taking the chance.

"I think... not very good."

Zhou Yuanjun's gaze swept over Xiao Xuance, and a trace of disdain appeared on his Face as he said: "Put away your little schemes. The Opportunity here belongs solely to my Shangyang Sect. I'll give you a chance: leave now, and I will let bygones be bygones. If you stubbornly refuse to see reason, I'd like to see how many moves that long spear in your hand can withstand from me!"

As his voice fell, terrifying raging flames burst out from Zhou Yuanjun's body, and his entire body floated suspended in mid-air, resembling a god of fire.

He naturally understood Xiao Xuance's little schemes—it was nothing more than wanting to fish in troubled waters after joining forces with them to open the stone door.

Of course, he would not allow this to happen.

After all, Xiao Xuance was still a Personal Disciple of the Golden Core Realm; who knew what kind of escape treasures he might have on him.

Once he was allowed to obtain the greatest Opportunity inside and escaped using his treasures, his trip this time would truly be like drawing water with a bamboo basket—emptying out to nothing, foolishly making wedding garments for someone else.

"Senior Brother Zhou, must you truly be so relentless?"

Staring fixedly at Zhou Yuanjun, Xiao Xuance radiated a trace of anger in his eyes and said: "My Shuiyue Sect and the Shangyang Sect have been on good terms for generations. Do not ruin the friendship between the two of us because of this groundless Opportunity. Furthermore, Senior Brother Zhou, are you certain you are so confident that you can defeat me?"

Xiao Xuance considered himself arrogant and aloof.

Ever since he was taken in as a Personal Disciple by Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai, when had he ever suffered this kind of Qi on ordinary days?

Now that he was looked down upon with such disdain by Zhou Yuanjun, a stifled fury had long since accumulated in his heart.

If not for considering that seizing the Opportunity was paramount, and if not for considering that he lacked the certainty to defeat Zhou Yuanjun, he probably would have flipped out on the spot long ago.

"Hahaha, Xiao Xuance, oh Xiao Xuance, are you joking or what?"

Listening to Xiao Xuance's words, Zhou Yuanjun couldn't help laughing heartily, his tone full of sneers and mockery: "Opportunities naturally belong to those with the ability. Besides, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to represent the Shuiyue Sect? Let alone you, even if your master, Seventh Elder Xiong Dahai, came here, if I don't like the sound of his words, I wouldn't give him Face either!"

As he spoke, the raging flames on Zhou Yuanjun's body grew even more intense, and a sea of fire rapidly condensed high up in the air.

"I have already given you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. In the Secret Realm, life and death are up to fate, and wealth is up to heaven. Today, I want to test how much weight you, Xiao Xuance, really pull to dare speak to me like this, and I want to see how many moves you can withstand from me!"

The voice fell.

Zhou Yuanjun no longer gave Xiao Xuance any chance. The massive sea of fire condensed in high altitude instantly poured down, sweeping toward Xiao Xuance like a monstrous giant wave.

"Arrogant!!!"

Zhou Yuanjun looked down on him again and again, making the anger in Xiao Xuance's heart no longer suppressible.

He waved the long spear in his hand, and the terrifying water-element Spiritual Qi within his body, along with that terrifying power of blood and Qi, erupted forth in this single instant.

Grasping the long spear, Xiao Xuance thrust it forward fiercely. Under the enhancement of the terrifying power of blood and Qi and the water-element Spiritual Qi, the tip of the spear bloomed with a brilliant radiance.

Roar!!!

A deafening roar rang out!

A flash of spear light flickered, rapidly shuttle-travelling through the Void Realm, heading directly toward that giant wave formed by the sea of fire.

Just as it was about to touch that sea of fire giant wave, this sharp spear light suddenly transformed, turning into a gigantic water dragon that bared its teeth and roared against the giant wave of fire.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Violent explosions resounded.

As the two sides exchanged blows, the surrounding temperature instantly skyrocketed.

The struggle of water and fire was difficult to reconcile.

Under their continuous collision, waves of terrifying Qi spread toward the surroundings, and streams of terrifying steam boiled in the air, as if trying to boil everyone in the entire canyon alive.

"Do it!"

Seeing that Zhou Yuanjun had already started moving against Xiao Xuance, Zhou Yunpeng at the side was not willing to lag behind either.

A long saber appeared in his hand, and his body flickered like a phantom, leading the remaining few Shangyang Sect Disciples to charge and kill toward those who had followed Xiao Xuance.

Terrifying Saber Qi shuttled and fought in the air. Everyone exchanged blows rapidly, and a chaotic battle broke out right then and there.
