173: This belongs to my husband!

At this moment, Lin Qingxue stared at Chen Xuan with a frosty expression, a cold Aura emanating from her entire being.

Her gaze, like a winter chill, focused intently on Chen Xuan, sending shivers down one's spine.

Yet, at the same time, her current state, combined with her slender figure, exquisite jade-like face, and innate noble temperament, made her resemble an iceberg beauty—a figure of awe, longing, and irresistible allure.

Lin Yunhan stood beside her, but she kept her head down, not daring to interact with Chen Xuan in front of her Senior Sister.

"So you're Chen Xuan, are you? You're quite something. When your match is over, I'll make sure you get a good taste of my power!" Her voice was icy cold, and she glared fiercely at Lin Yunhan.

If not for the child in her belly, she might not have been able to resist making a move!

She had agreed to Lin Yunhan's matter before, but she truly hadn't expected Lin Yunhan to be so reckless, not only giving herself away for free but also dragging Zhou Jingqi, the Han Yue Palace's only hope, into it! This was the main reason for her Life Qi!

That was Zhou Jingqi! A Genius girl with extraordinary talent, the Sect's only hope!

What was the result? She couldn't come to the Sect Tournament, which was one thing, but now she was simply gone, and her belly had grown! Chen Xuan had simply destroyed their only hope! How could she not be angry?

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart couldn't help but leap.

He knew why Lin Qingxue was angry, but he hadn't expected her anger to be so great; she was already eager to find him before the match even began. If he finished the match, she would surely eat him alive!

"No, no, I need to find a way to slip away. This is not a good place to stay!"

"I know what you're thinking!"

As if seeing through Chen Xuan's thoughts, Lin Qingxue directly embraced her Junior Sister, Lin Yunhan.

"If you dare to run, you'll never see her again!"

"Ah? Senior Sister, how can you be like this? This, this was all my own choice, it has nothing to do with Chen Xuan!" Lin Yunhan quickly said.

Little did she know that her words only intensified Lin Qingxue's anger! With a slap, she gave Lin Yunhan a small lesson.

Lin Yunhan was stunned, and after she reacted, her face turned crimson, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan sighed helplessly and said to Lin Qingxue, "Senior Sister Lin, please rest assured, I will work hard to achieve a good ranking and not disappoint you, Senior Sister."

"What?! Senior Sister is also something you can call? Lin Yunhan, look at what he's become now!"

"He, he is my husband, and you are my Senior Sister, so of course he should also call you Senior Sister!" Lin Yunhan felt it was perfectly normal.

"You...!"

Then Chen Xuan smiled, said no more, and prepared to face the chaotic battle.

Seeing Chen Xuan silent, Lin Qingxue's anger remained unquelled, and she turned her attention back to Lin Yunhan.

"And you, Lin Yunhan? You've grown bold, haven't you? You kept Jingqi's matter a secret in the Sect, not saying a word, and only dared to tell me the truth when we came out together? Who taught you that?"

Lin Yunhan secretly glanced at Chen Xuan, then quickly said, "It, it was my own idea, Senior Sister, please don't be angry!"

"Easy for you to say! You yourself know Jingqi's talent, how could you dare to... to...!" Lin Qingxue was so angry she couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, my husband is very capable. Look at me, how much my Cultivation has improved since we last met?" Lin Yunhan subtly released her Aura.

"Nascent Soul Fourth Peak?! You, how did you Cultivate so fast! Did you perhaps obtain some Opportunity?" Lin Qingxue was somewhat shocked.

"Hehe, not just me, Jingqi's Breakthrough was even faster! Although carrying the child delayed her for some time, if she hadn't met Chen Xuan, her Cultivation might not even be as good as it is now!"

"I think we need to have a serious talk." Lin Qingxue said with a serious expression.

"Uh, well, Senior Sister, you're not allowed to hit me anymore, okay? My husband said that's his, and even I have no right to it!"

"You!" Even though Lin Qingxue had lived for hundreds of years, this was the first time she had heard such words. Her carefully maintained poker face instantly flushed crimson.

...

As the match began, Chen Xuan quickly found his position.

Among the Xuan Yang Sect members present, he was the only one, so he didn't need any team strategy. He just needed to find an area, draw a circle, and eliminate anyone who entered it.

Subsequently, he directly found a good spot and drew a circle of moderate size.

"You all fight amongst yourselves. As for this circle of mine, whoever enters dies!"

"Hmph, that's quite arrogant. Today, let the chief Disciple of my Tiequan Sect come and see!"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, a towering, muscular man immediately walked towards him and stepped into the circle.

"Big guy, your strength is quite impressive. It would be a pity to be eliminated. You only get one chance. Entering my circle is seeking death! You need to think carefully." Chen Xuan said.

"Don't try to scare me! Today, I, the chief Disciple of the Tiequan Sect, will hammer you until you're picking up your teeth!" The muscular man said, then stepped forward and threw a punch at Chen Xuan.

"Good! Since you're from the Tiequan Sect, I'll exchange a punch with you and see!" Seeing this, a glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. He then clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it towards the muscular man's fist.

"Bang!" The two fists collided, creating a loud bang. The surrounding air seemed to be squeezed and distorted.

The muscular man's body swayed, shaken back several steps by Chen Xuan's fist power. His expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Chen Xuan to possess such immense strength.

The other Disciples were all dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene.

"Oh my goodness, how can that Chen Xuan be so powerful?!"

"With just a light punch, his strength is on par with the chief Disciple of the Tiequan Sect!"

"This Chen Xuan from the Xuan Yang Sect is definitely not simple!"

"Hmph, you're nothing special, come again!" The muscular man roared and swung his fist at Chen Xuan again.

Chen Xuan, seeing this, shook his head.

"Too weak. I don't even have the mood to play with you!"

"Arrogant! Watch me kill you with one punch!" Hearing this, the muscular man's anger flared even more. He unleashed all 12 parts of his strength, concentrating it into this one punch.

With this punch, the muscular man held nothing back, gathering all his strength. The force of his fist was like a surging river, unstoppable.

Just as the muscular man thought he had victory secured, Chen Xuan didn't even unleash his Aura. He moved like a ghost, instantly appearing before the muscular man.

His figure was as light as a swallow. He clasped his hands together and delivered a swift, powerful straight punch.

The muscular man's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he hurriedly raised his arm to block.

However, the power of Chen Xuan's punch was too immense, like the breath of a Dragon, directly fracturing the muscular man's arm. The muscular man himself flew out like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom!" With a loud crash, the muscular man fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood. He struggled a few times but remained unable to get up. Chen Xuan retracted his fist, his expression calm, as if he had only done something trivial.

Below the arena, the Disciples were all dumbfounded, looking at Chen Xuan with astonished eyes.

"Oh my god, he, he actually defeated the chief Disciple of the Tiequan Sect with just one punch!"

"It's incredible, I thought he was just someone with a bit of strength, but I never imagined he was so powerful!"

"It seems the champion of this Sect Tournament will undoubtedly be Chen Xuan!"

Everyone discussed animatedly, utterly shocked by Chen Xuan's strength.

The muscular man struggled to get up, but the sharp pain in his chest made it unbearable, rendering him unable to move for a moment.

Chen Xuan walked expressionlessly to the muscular man, and said coldly, "I've already held back; otherwise, that punch just now would have been enough to pierce through you."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for sparing my life. I concede!" With that, the muscular man struggled to his feet and walked off the arena.

Chen Xuan ignored the muscular man's words. He stood in place, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding competitors. Those whose eyes met his all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
