157: One man versus three kings

All the Disciples coming and going outside the meeting hall were at least at the Five-Star Martial King Realm, numbering more than twenty.

All these people had hidden their Aura, and would only be discovered if they actively activated their fighting Qi or if the Realm gap was too large.

But Lu Xingchen had the System!

Their cultivation levels were clearly displayed above their heads.

Lu Xingchen's heart immediately sank.

It seemed these three old fellows finally couldn't hold back and were going to make a move against him.

This was normal; for the Black Wind Domain, he was, after all, an outsider.

More importantly, at the auction, the Cangxuan Sect's people took all three finale items, making them seem incredibly wealthy.

The greed in the three Sect Masters' hearts ultimately triumphed over their fear of the Cangxuan Sect.

As he stepped into the conference hall, Lu Xingchen threw the four shadow sword scabbards in four directions, and at the same time, whispered to the four, "Prepare for battle!"

The other four Cangxuan Sect members were all shrewd individuals and immediately understood Lu Xingchen's meaning, all preparing for battle.

Upon entering the conference hall, Lu Xingchen saw the three Sect Masters and six Vice Sect Masters.

Jiang Heng, the Black Horn Sect Master; Mu Jie, the Black Dragon Sect Master; and Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect, the Black Flame Sect Master.

All of them were Ten-Star Martial Kings.

Among the six Vice Sect Masters, three were Nine-Star Martial Kings and three were Eight-Star Martial Kings.

Seeing this lineup, Lu Xingchen frowned.

The top experts of the Black Wind Domain had all gathered!

If a fight really broke out later, it would be their five Inner Sect Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect against the entire Black Wind Domain.

The pressure was undeniably immense.

However, Lu Xingchen felt no fear in his heart.

Because his progress was too fast; now, he was much stronger than when he first arrived in the Black Wind Domain!

Lu Xingchen smiled at the three Sect Masters, "Three Sect Masters, have the 180,000 gold coins been gathered?"

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect said softly, "Young Friend Lu, the gold coins have been gathered. They are in the Storage Ring in my hand. Come and take it!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, stepped forward, and extended his right hand towards Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect.

Just as their palms were about to touch, Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect tossed the Storage Ring high into the air and struck Lu Xingchen with a palm.

Lu Xingchen was already prepared and showed no panic, immediately activating the shadow sword's displacement skill, teleporting to the southeast corner of the conference room.

Having failed to land a hit, Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect wasn't angered, merely raising an eyebrow slightly.

"What an elusive movement skill! As expected of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Cangxuan Sect. Lu Xingchen, you knew I was going to attack you?"

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, "It's not hard to guess!"

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect nodded slightly.

"Lu Xingchen, your Martial Dao talent and intelligence are both high. If you don't die young, you will surely have a place on the Tianyuan Continent. But unfortunately, today you will die here!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

"You want to kill me?"

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect nodded again, "Either don't do it, or do it completely. I've already made a move against you. If I let you escape, the Cangxuan Sect will definitely settle this matter. Therefore, I can only ask the five of you to stay here forever!"

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly.

"Your personality is quite to my liking, but unfortunately, we are enemies. And my greatest respect for enemies is to eradicate them completely!"

Hearing this, Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect was slightly stunned.

"What do you mean by that? You're not thinking of escaping, but rather of counter-killing us?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "What else? I'm afraid you haven't figured out who the real prey is yet!"

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect grinned, "Lu Xingchen, you're too arrogant! Although your Archery Skill is outstanding, you're still just a Three-Star Martial King. Anyone here has a higher Realm than you!"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Who told you I'm only a Three-Star Martial King?"

With that, Lu Xingchen activated his fighting Qi, revealing his Four-Star Martial King Realm without reservation.

Subsequently, he also used the "Heaven Swallowing Art," and his Aura surged, his Realm rising to Nine-Star Martial King in just three breaths.

For a moment, the entire hall was shocked.

Even Long Yang and the other three looked at Lu Xingchen with disbelief.

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect's tone was full of shock.

"Impossible! It's only been five days, how could you have become so much stronger? When you fought Wang Jie, your Realm was only Seven-Star Martial King."

Lu Xingchen drew his shadow sword, pointed it at Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect, and said loudly, "Three old fellows, come at me together!"

Hearing this, Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect laughed in extreme anger.

"A Four-Star Martial King actually presumes to challenge a Ten-Star Martial King. What a pipe dream! I alone can take you down!"

With that, Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect leaped forward and struck Lu Xingchen with a palm.

Lu Xingchen dared not be careless in the slightest; after all, the opponent was six minor Realms higher than him. He unleashed "Stone Shattering Palm."

With Lu Xingchen's current strength, using Yellow Rank Martial Skill could be instantly cast, equivalent to using a skill as a normal attack.

And Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect's palm strike did not contain any Martial Skill.

Their palms collided violently, and the immense wave of fighting Qi overturned the tables and chairs in the conference hall.

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect retreated more than ten steps before he stopped, while Lu Xingchen remained unmoving.

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect looked at his own palm, then stared intently at Lu Xingchen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This is impossible! You're only a Four-Star Martial King, how can you be so strong?"

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, "Is it strange? Not only can I fight above my level, but I can also fight above my tier. The three of you, come at me together, or you won't have a chance!"

The reason Lu Xingchen continuously provoked the three Sect Masters was that the enemy's numbers were simply too great, and he feared that Long Chen and the others wouldn't be able to handle it.

As for himself, with the shadow sword and "Ethereal Steps" in hand, he was confident he could toy with the three Ten-Star Martial Kings like dogs.

They wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of his clothes.

Being provoked in such a manner by a Junior under twenty years old, Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect's face turned crimson with anger.

But he also had to accept reality.

Lu Xingchen's strength was simply too formidable for him to handle alone.

"Two Fellow Daoists, lend me a hand! Let's get rid of this freak Lu Xingchen first!"

"Alright!" Jiang Heng and Mu Jie responded in unison.

Immediately, the two stood behind Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect.

Long Yang said worriedly, "Junior Brother Lu, can you hold on? Do you need my help?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "No need, Senior Brother Long Yang, just take care of yourselves!"

With that, Lu Xingchen summoned the two Earth Fiend Puppets and Xiao You.

One Earth Fiend Puppet had the strength of a Five-Star Martial King, from Xu Feng, who had forcibly taken the yin yun bell, and the other Earth Fiend Puppet had the strength of a Ten-Star Martial King, from Li Chen five days ago.

Xiao You had also made significant progress these days, having entered the fifth tier five-star.

Seeing Li Chen's face, all three were greatly astonished.

"This is Li Chen, the Black Emperor Sect Master? No, he's already dead, I saw it with my own eyes. This is a Puppet! Lu Xingchen, you actually refined Li Chen's corpse into a Puppet! This is too much, do you have no regard for the reputation of our Black Wind Domain?"

Wang Chang, Sect Master of the Black Flame Sect's tone was filled with shock and indignation.
