117: Zhan Chuqing
Upon hearing this, Princess Chu Yuelian's expression changed drastically; she could no longer maintain her previous composure.
She stepped forward, her jade hand tightly gripping Qin Wushang's wrist, a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes as she shook her head slightly.
"Chu Qingtian is already at the Peak of the Heavenly God Realm and has condensed the Five Elements dao seed; he can command the momentum of heaven and earth!"
"Although you are gifted, the gap in Realm is too vast. This is definitely not the time to act on impulse!"
She spoke very quickly, continuing, "Listen to Third Aunt; endure for now. Once your Realm improves, you can battle him then!"
Beside her, Chu Yuer's face also paled in terror!
She had just been betrothed, and even if she was only a concubine, she did not want to become a widow, so she hurriedly said.
"Husband! Don't! Can we just ignore him? He is clearly bullying you by relying on his higher cultivation!"
Listening to the words of the two women, a warm current surged in Qin Wushang's heart, and he was somewhat surprised.
It was understandable that Chu Yuer would feel this way since they had slept together! Affection grows with time, after all!
But even Third Aunt was treating him with sincerity!
He looked at the two women, calm and confident, and said, "Third Aunt, Yuer, rest assured."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes, his gaze like two bolts of cold lightning, locking onto Chu Qingtian, whose face was somewhat twisted with excitement.
"He is merely a Heavenly God; it is not as if I, Qin Wushang, have not killed one before!"
"Arrogant!"
"You do not know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth!"
Once these words were spoken, not only did the people of Prince Tianhais Residence shout in anger, but even some neutral members of the Chu Clan shook their heads, feeling that Qin Wushang was being too conceited.
A Divine Fire Realm cultivator fighting against a Heavenly God?
Although there were legends of such things in the past, which one of them did not cost a huge price and end in a pyrrhic victory?
And Chu Qingtian was by no means an ordinary Heavenly God!
He was also a Prodigy!
With the Five Elements Saint Body, he had been in the Heavenly God Realm for some time!
No matter how Heaven-Defying the Heavy Pupils were, it was impossible to cross so many Realms to fight!
Seeing that his mind was made up, Princess Chu Yuelian knew that further persuasion was useless and sighed inwardly.
"Fine!"
She said no more, but with lightning speed, she shoved a Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon's eye into Qin Wushang's hand, while her Divine Thought transmitted a message into his mind.
"Child, this is a Blood Burst Pill. Taking it at a critical moment can instantly explode your Qi and blood, and briefly stimulate your potential... but after the medicinal power fades, the aftereffects are terrifying, so use it with caution!"
Feeling the warmth and immense medicinal power radiating from the pill in his hand, Qin Wushang's heart stirred.
He nodded slightly and put it away. He would remember this gesture of kindness.
The surrounding discussions surged like a tidal wave.
"He... he really agreed? Can he win?"
"That is Chu Qingtian of the Heavenly God Realm! He has reached Perfection in the Five Elements Saint Body and has even cultivated the Taotie Dharma Image!"
"Confidence is a good thing, but this is too much! He is practically treating his life as a joke!"
"I think he has been blinded by his previous victories; does he really think he is a young Great Emperor?"
"Sigh, what a pity for such a Prodigy. If he were given time, his future would be limitless, but today he will likely perish here..."
"Don't look down on him so much! He is a Prodigy, after all! Maybe he really can fight against a Heavenly God!"
"You shouldn't underestimate Chu Qingtian either! He has opened ten caves and has the advantage in Realm!"
The crowd discussed it fervently, some favoring Qin Wushang, while others favored Chu Qingtian.
Hearing Qin Wushang's incredibly arrogant words, Chu Qingtian laughed instead of getting angry, loudly saying, "Good! Very good! Qin Wushang, at least you have some guts!"
"Since that is the case, this Young Master will grant your wish!"
Fearing that Qin Wushang might change his mind or that the Grand Princess would intervene again, he was the first to shoot into the sky.
Above the Chu Clan Ancestral Land, streaks of Holy Light shone, carving out a new space.
A powerful expert had intervened! Using supreme methods to carve out a new space for the two of them to fight in!
"Get up here and die!" Chu Qingtian shouted.
"Hum!" Qin Wushang stomped on the ground and shot straight into the clouds.
As their figures rose into the sky, a massive curtain of light instantly ascended, shimmering with ancient runes like a giant inverted bowl, shrouding the entire core area of the Ancestral Land.
This was the protective formation, preventing the shockwaves of their battle from destroying the buildings in the Ancestral Land.
High in the sky, the gale winds howled.
Qin Wushang and Chu Qingtian stood a thousand feet apart, with a transparent energy barrier flickering with runes beneath their feet, through which they could see the countless people below looking up.
Qin Wushang's black hair danced, and his robes billowed in the gale.
He slowly raised his hand, pointing at Chu Qingtian; his tone was calm, yet killing intent was released.
"Chu Qingtian, have you thought about how you want to die?"
Chu Qingtian's face was twisted in a snarl; he disdained to answer.
"Five Elements Sacred Beast Fist! Azure Dragon Claw!"
He launched the attack first, his body moving like an Azure Dragon emerging from the sea, his speed reaching the extreme.
His right hand's five fingers curled into a claw, with cyan Wood Element Divine Power condensing, bringing with it a sharp sound that tore through the Void Realm, aiming straight for Qin Wushang's chest!
This claw contained vigorous vitality, yet it also hid infinite killing intent, capable of seizing the opponent's Origin of life.
"Well come!" Qin Wushang did not dodge or evade, his Battle Intent burning in his eyes.
He did not even use any Divine Ability; he simply raised his right arm, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and the Qi and blood within his body surged and roared like a great river.
The terrifying Physical Body strength of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo fully erupted, and he met the attack with a punch!
"Bang!" Fist and claw collided, emitting a dull, thunderous boom like a giant drum, shaking the Void Realm.
The collision of pure Physical Body strength erupted with power comparable to the clash of Divine Abilities!
A visible circle of air waves erupted from the center of the two, causing the protective light curtain below to ripple violently.
Chu Qingtian's expression changed slightly; he felt an overwhelming, mountain-toppling force coming from his opponent's fist, numbing his arm. The Azure Dragon claw shadow shattered instantly, and his body involuntarily retreated half a step!
As for Qin Wushang, his figure only swayed slightly, standing proudly in the sky, steady as a mountain!
"So strong!" Chu Qingtian was deeply shocked!
His Five Elements Saint Body had long since reached Perfection, and his Physical Body strength far exceeded that of Heavenly Gods of the same rank; yet, in a pure test of strength, he had lost to someone in the Divine Fire Realm.
Even though the two had fought before and he had not dared to be conceited, he was still greatly astonished at this moment!
"Your Physical Body is truly monstrous!" He said in disbelief.
"Is that all?" Qin Wushang pressed his advantage, stepping with mysterious footwork, his figure closing in like a phantom.
"Qilin Fist!" His fist momentum changed; a crimson Qilin phantom appeared behind him, his fist seal like a mountain, carrying the scorching heat capable of burning the eight wastelands and an unstoppable force, smashing towards Chu Qingtian's face.
"White Tiger Rending Sky Kill!" Chu Qingtian roared angrily!
Sharp Metal Qi erupted around his body, his fist wind as sharp as a blade, transforming into a roaring white tiger to clash head-on with the Qilin fist seal.
"Boom!" Another heaven-shaking collision occurred. This time, Chu Qingtian was shaken back again, and faint cracks even appeared on his fist, with golden blood seeping out!
"Impossible!" He roared, unable to accept this fact.
"Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven!"
"Black Tortoise Suppressing Sea!"
He crazily unleashed the Five Elements Sacred Beast Fist, sometimes like a raging fire spreading across the plains, sometimes like a towering giant wave, and sometimes as heavy as the earth. His attacks were like a violent storm, enveloping Qin Wushang.
However, Qin Wushang was like a reef in the crashing waves, unmoved.
He pushed the Qilin Secret Art to the limit; the Qilin Arm swept across, the Qilin Stomp shattered the Void Realm, and the Qilin Fist destroyed all laws!
The two's attacks became increasingly terrifying, and Qin Wushang had so many tricks that they seemed endless, never repeating.
The Heavenly Demon Fist was eerie and tyrannical! The Moon-Supporting Hand was ethereal and holy! The Kaioken was fierce and domineering!
