169: War! The Twin Prodigies of Zhao and Qi

“Cough, cough...”

After a long while, the sound of coughing blood came from the silent field.

Chu Ping finally couldn't hold it back any longer, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“I lost.”

Chu Ping spoke, a trace of bitterness flashing across his face.

He had thought that after awakening from his Seal and comprehending the Heavenly Slaughter Sutra, he would be able to shine brilliantly in this Golden Great Era.

He never imagined that he would hit a wall so soon after emerging.

Chu Ping knew that he hadn't just lost to Mu Zun's Heavy Pupils.

He had also lost in terms of talent and Comprehension Ability.

As his words fell, a wave of hushed murmurs swept through the audience.

No one expected that the Chu Family's newly emerged Forbidden Prodigy would suffer such an early setback here.

Zhao Xiang's expression shifted even more; hearing Chu Ping admit defeat, her emotions became complicated.

The confidence she originally had in fighting Mu Zun also wavered slightly.

Zhao Xiang believed that she might not have been able to withstand the ultimate move Chu Ping had just used; even if she did, she would have sustained significant injuries.

Beside her, Zhao Shi's thoughts were completely different from Zhao Xiang's.

She looked at Mu Zun's transcendent and peerless figure, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.

Mu Zun's performance in this battle had clearly stunned her.

That effortless manner of his showed he hadn't even gone all out.

“Is there anyone else who wants to step forward? I can take you all on.”

Mu Zun nodded slightly to Chu Ping, then scanned the entire field.

“Or, you can come at me together?”

Hearing this, the expressions of the other Imperial Clan Prodigies changed slightly.

Because these words were truly too arrogant, and the provocative intent was too heavy.

Once these words were spoken, if they still didn't make a move, they would lose all face.

“Since you've put it that way, then let me face you, the Young Master of the Qin Clan.”

Zhao Xiang stood up, her pair of pupils like two scorching suns. The surrounding space began to warp, moisture evaporated, and bursts of white smoke rose around her.

“And me.”

Qi Thirteen on the other side also opened his eyes at this moment.

There were still bloodshot streaks in his eyes that hadn't faded, but one could feel the Battle Intent and that indomitable will within them.

Countless Sword Qi emerged from around him, as if a sword god had descended upon the world.

“As expected, Zhao Xiang and Qi Thirteen are going to make their move.”

“Both of them are top-tier prodigies within their Imperial Clans. How could they possibly swallow this insult without doing anything?”

“There's going to be a good show.”

Seeing the two stand out, the other experts weren't too surprised.

Mu Zun tilted his head slightly, his eyes calm and waveless, signaling the two to attack directly.

Zhao Xiang didn't hesitate and attacked immediately.

Brilliant golden fireballs like suns condensed around her. A pair of giant swords and a shield appeared in her hands as she charged down toward Mu Zun.

Facing this, Mu Zun raised his palm and then struck out.

A simple and pure palm strike, yet it contained the power of hundreds of millions of divine elephants. The solidified golden Battle Intent represented that Mu Zun's understanding of combat had almost reached the Realm of true essence.

The war god heaven-shattering chart had almost been completely comprehended by Mu Zun.

BOOM!!

Without any suspense, Zhao Xiang was sent flying by Mu Zun's palm strike.

Mu Zun only felt a burst of sharpness coming from behind him.

He then turned around and grabbed backward.

The hundred Sword Qi slashed by Qi Thirteen were instantly crushed by Mu Zun.

“Try this move!”

Qi Thirteen shouted sharply, various Sword Intents gushing out from the long sword in his hand.

Five Elements Sword Intent, Return to Ruins Sword Intent, Slaughter Sword Intent, Soul-Snatching Sword Intent... nearly a hundred types of Sword Intent were unleashed by Qi Thirteen at this moment.

“My God?! So many Sword Intents?! How did Qi Thirteen comprehend them?”

“Too terrifying.”

Qi Thirteen's display immediately caused a huge stir.

A normal Sword Cultivator who could comprehend dozens of Sword Intents would be a top-tier Genius.

Qi Thirteen unleashed nearly a hundred types of Sword Intent in one go; how were other Sword Cultivators supposed to compete?
