301: Chapter 301 Breaking through the killing domain, crushing Nangong Wuzhong!

Ji Qingyan's eyes flickered slightly, appearing somewhat moved, but she still sighed and shook her head:

"It's useless. Once the Contest is opened, no one can interfere with what happens inside."

"Even I cannot. However, I appreciate the Banished Sword Immortal's kindness on Yuanrou's behalf."

Lin Ran didn't speak, only silently watching the two within the Contest.

As the World Walker for the Nangong Family, Nangong Wuzhong's cultivation was at the terrifying sixth layer of the Great Emperor Realm.

The Special Physique he possessed was even a top-tier Godly Physique—the Heart Sword Dao Embryo!

His comprehension of Sword Intent had also reached the State of Clarity.

Although Bai Yuanrou was also a World Walker, there were gaps even between walkers of the World.

Her cultivation was only at the second layer of the Great Emperor Realm, and the Physique she had awakened was merely an Advanced Godly Physique. Compared to Nangong Wuzhong, she was quite far behind.

Lin Ran activated his Innate Yin-Yang Dao Eyes. He didn't peer at Bai Yuanrou, but instead focused his gaze on Nangong Wuzhong.

Nangong Wuzhong gave him a very strange feeling. Every move and every style, though performed by his hand, didn't seem to be performed by him.

To put it simply, Nangong Wuzhong gave Lin Ran the feeling of someone fighting for control over their own Physical Body.

It was as if two consciousnesses were fighting inside the body, which made Nangong Wuzhong's moves appear very awkward and uncoordinated.

"Could it be..."

A look of contemplation appeared in the depths of Lin Ran's eyes.

He seemed to understand something.

Earlier, Nangong Wuzhong had stood at the front of the Nangong Family's experts. Even Nangong Fusu, the head of the Nangong Family, stood behind him, with a look of utter respect in his eyes.

Lin Ran secretly guessed that perhaps the current Nangong Wuzhong had been possessed by some big shot from the Nangong Family.

But because Nangong Wuzhong's original consciousness was too powerful, this big shot from the Nangong Family failed to completely eliminate it.

This was why Nangong Wuzhong looked so awkward, as if he were fighting himself for control of his Physical Body.

Lin Ran glanced at Ji Qingyan beside him and found that a deep look had also appeared in her eyes behind the mask.

Clearly, Ji Qingyan had also realized something.

"Bai Yuanrou, since you refuse to enter a marriage alliance with this walker, then I shall graciously accept your heavenly mandate stele!"

Nangong Wuzhong swung his sword, sending Bai Yuanrou flying backward.

"Cough, cough!"

Bai Yuanrou coughed up a mouthful of blood, her expression filled with resentment and unwillingness.

They were both walkers of the World, but the gap between her and Nangong Wuzhong was simply too large.

Moreover, Nangong Wuzhong was very likely someone possessed by a big shot of the Nangong Family, with an endless stream of trump cards and methods that were impossible to guard against.

"It seems the heavenly mandate stele is not something people like you are worthy of possessing."

Nangong Wuzhong shook his head and reached out with a palm, sending Bai Yuanrou flying once again.

Seeing this, Lin Ran's eyes darkened as he said:

"Revered Master, Meng Qing, Long Ling, you go and wipe out the rest of the Nangong Family. I'll handle this Nangong Wuzhong!"

As he spoke, he summoned the heavenly mandate stele, poured his dharma power into it, and slammed it fiercely against the Contest.

He hadn't carefully studied the heavenly mandate stele, and he didn't even know about the Contest.

But now, he intended to use absolute strength to break through all techniques, utilizing the power of the heavenly mandate stele to forcefully blast open a corner of the Contest so he could enter.

Otherwise, if Bai Yuanrou really died at Nangong Wuzhong's hands, the Karma on him would never be settled!

"Heh, you want to blast open the Contest? How laughable!"

Seeing this, a cold smile curled on the corner of Nangong Wuzhong's mouth.

The power of the heavenly mandate stele was not something these commoners could imagine.

Did Lin Ran really think he was invincible and could even break the Contest?!

That was simply too fantastical!

"Bai Yuanrou, to be honest, if you had chosen to follow our Nangong Family's Eldest Young Master back then, how could you be in such a miserable state today?"

"This is truly a case of 'Heaven-sent disasters may be survived, but self-inflicted ones are fatal'!"

Nangong Wuzhong smiled sarcastically.

"Heh, you people of the Nangong Family are all the same—arrogant, conceited, and claiming to be the chosen ones. Little do you know that in the eyes of others, you are but a drop in the ocean."

"Hmph! You're looking for death!!"

Nangong Wuzhong's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Boom!

However, at that moment, the rock-solid Contest was suddenly blasted open at a large corner from the outside in.

Following that was a massive palm of dharma power that blotted out the sky, like the Five Finger Mountain!

Nangong Wuzhong snorted coldly and pushed both palms forward, colliding with Lin Ran's massive palm of dharma power.

"You dare to compete with me in Physical Body strength? You're looking for death!"

Nangong Wuzhong sneered inwardly.

Although his cultivation was high and he was best suited for the Dao of the sword, he had never neglected the cultivation of his Physical Body.

In his view, after he pushed out his palms, Lin Ran would surely be crippled if not dead!

However, the development of events far exceeded his expectations.

He had only just touched the edge of Lin Ran's chilling fist force, but its power was like a moving ancient mountain, possessing an all-destroying momentum!

Pfft!

Half of Nangong Wuzhong's body suddenly exploded, and his Physical Body was sent flying, slamming hard against the barrier of the Contest as he coughed up blood.

Nangong Wuzhong activated the essence blood in his body, looking at Lin Ran with a face full of disbelief.

What?!

This script isn't right!

Why was he the one crushed by Lin Ran's punch instead of Lin Ran being sent flying by his palms?

Why was Lin Ran's Physical Body strength so powerful?!

Even the most perfect vessel in his eyes could not withstand Lin Ran's punch. This was powerful to the point of despair!!

"This person's Physical Body is so terrifying! And that Contest—how on earth did he break that corner to get here?"

"A 120,000-foot dao tree? That Great Emperor Dao Fruit..."

"So that's how it is!!!"

Nangong Wuzhong coughed out a mouthful of blood, his eyes staring fixedly at Lin Ran like a venomous snake baring its fangs.

"This... you... how did you get in?!"

Bai Yuanrou was completely bewildered.

"Wasn't it said that once the Contest was formed, nothing from the outside could interfere?!"

"But how did Lin Ran manage to get in?!"

"Is it really that hard to blast open a corner of the Contest?"

"There are very few absolute things in this world, almost countable on one hand. But power is definitely absolute, whereas the restrictions of the Contest are not necessarily so."

"As long as you have enough power, paired with a bit of technique, you can naturally blast open a gap in the Contest."

Lin Ran turned his head to look back and found that the gap he had just broken had already completely restored itself.
