The moment this dual-hammer-wielding expert entered, his battle-hungry gaze locked onto the strongest person present, Qiao Yan.
Being targeted by him, Qiao Yan’s expression turned extremely ugly. Forget about him. At this moment, amongst the openly powerful experts who had reached Heart Trial City, anyone locked onto by this expert’s gaze would find it extremely troublesome. Let alone him!
This expert hailed from an Imperial Dynasty that could only be considered an obscure mid-tier Force. His strength merely reached the Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm. However, who knew what he had eaten growing up. His brute strength moved countless experts, and paired with that hammer set, several days ago, an expert no weaker than Qiao Yan had been hammered until he vomited blood and flew backwards!
This fellow’s purpose for entering the ancient battlefield seemed different from theirs. Everyone else rushed towards the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, breaking their heads trying to stand out from within, preserving strength and trump cards when necessary.
Yet this expert came here seemingly unconcerned about the Imperial Dynasties Assembly. He even wandered Heart Trial City all day, making people genuinely doubt whether his purpose for entering was simply to find people to fight!
Originally, quite a few similarly battle-hungry geniuses would spar with him, or some who found him displeasing would try teaching him a lesson. However, after one Martial Emperor after another, even Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperors, were hammered flying, no one wished to provoke this guy anymore.
“Brother Li is jesting. I’m handling private matters within our Namo Imperial Dynasty. I hope Brother Ba will consider Prince Qiao Linlang’s reputation and not interfere with our private affairs!”
Facing this expert, even the Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm Qiao Yan had no choice but to restrain his arrogance. His tone even became rather conciliatory.
As those three characters, Qiao Linlang, were spoken, Qiao Yuewei’s delicate body trembled violently, profound terror flashing through her beautiful eyes.
The surrounding spectators, hearing those three characters, all contracted their pupils, thick wariness surging within their eyes.
Qiao Linlang. He was Namo Imperial Dynasty’s Second Prince, this Imperial Dynasties Assembly’s team leader for the Namo Imperial Dynasty!
Reportedly, he had already broken through to the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm last year! Even amongst the Imperial Dynasties Assembly participants, he ranked amongst the most outstanding!
Observing the crowd’s changing expressions, Qiao Yan’s chest involuntarily puffed out. This was their basis for daring to run rampant in Heart Trial City!
“Qiao Linlang? Who’s that? Is he impressive?” However, rather contrary to Qiao Yan’s expectations, not only did this burly man show no wariness, but that battle-hungry gleam in his eyes grew even more intense!
“Come, let’s exchange a few moves first, then afterwards you can take me to find this whoever-Qiao-Linlang!” Words concluded, he seemed somewhat impatient as he raised his giant hammer, pointing it towards Qiao Yan. An excited voice resonated forth.
“Brother Yan…” Hearing these words, fury surfaced on the Namo Imperial Dynasty members’ faces. Their gazes fixed fiercely upon that expert. With just one word from Qiao Yan, ferocious attacks would instantly obliterate this arrogant guy!
Facing such numerous powerful auras locking onto him, not only did the expert show no fear, but his expression grew even more excited.
“Withdraw!” Finally, under numerous experts’ watchful eyes, Qiao Yan ground his teeth, forcing out a single word through his mouth and nose. Subsequently, he glared viciously at Liu Yun and Qin Yichen, his sinister voice resonating. “Brats, daring to interfere with our Namo Imperial Dynasty’s affairs. You’d better prepare for your funerals!”
Afterwards, the Namo Imperial Dynasty’s members, amidst gazes carrying mocking overtones, retreated dejectedly.
“Bah! What cowards!” Seeing Qiao Yan actually flee so quickly, the expert spat in extreme dissatisfaction, cursing loudly.
Qiao Yan, who had nearly disappeared into the crowd, stumbled upon hearing this. Finally, gritting his teeth, he lowered his head and vanished amongst the masses.
At this moment, his heart overflowed with grief and fury. In broad daylight and full view, he had lost face to two brats. Before he could even act, he had been forced to retreat by someone else!
Even within his Imperial Dynasty, he had never suffered such humiliation, let alone before so many witnesses!
Ultimately, unwilling to provoke that brute, he directed all his resentment towards Liu Yun and Qin Yichen…
At this moment, after the Namo Imperial Dynasty’s people departed, the dual-hammer-wielding expert’s gaze turned towards the four who had been surrounded earlier!
Being stared at by that nearly ‘starved’ gaze, Liu Yun, standing at the forefront, could not help secretly wiping away his sweat.
Though he usually focused his attention on women, he was no fool. Even Qiao Yan refused to provoke this brute so how could he possibly contend with him!?
“Hey, young man over there! I see your skeletal structure is not bad. How about we exchange a few blows, about three hundred rounds!?” As Liu Yun contemplated escape routes, the expert’s giant hammer already pointed towards him!
“*Ahem!* Well, I know my skeleton’s decent. As for battling, let’s skip it!”
Though Liu Yun worried this brute might suddenly deliver a hammer blow, he could not lose face before two beauties. He immediately coughed dryly, speaking with a slight smile.
“That won’t do! If jade isn’t polished, it won’t become… what was it again?”
The expert blinked, seemingly pondering momentarily. Finding no conclusion, he embarrassedly waved his hand. One giant hammer swung with whooshing sounds, yet he seemed to apply no force whatsoever, declaring. “Today, Grandfather Li has encountered you all. You must fight whether you want to or not!”
“What kind of logic is that?” Liu Yun’s eyes widened. Using brute force against him, the Rainbow Light Pavilion’s Young Pavilion Master? This guy was not the first, but he would definitely be the second. After all, the first was the Pavilion Master himself.
“This is my Hammer Sect’s logic!”
Seemingly moved by his own intelligence, the expert laughed heartily, quite proudly declaring with utter shamelessness. His face practically screamed, ‘you have no choice but to comply!’
Surrounding spectators, witnessing this scene, forcibly suppressed their amusement. Faces flushed red yet not daring to make a sound, fearing the slightest noise might transfer that brute’s attention towards them.
After all, in this ancient battlefield where big fists determined who rules, they dared not use their own fists to contend with those Soul-stirring giant hammers!
“Your Hammer Sect’s logic truly is domineering!” Just as Liu Yun felt somewhat helpless, a voice carrying light laughter suddenly rang out from behind.
Hearing this voice, Liu Yun’s expression drastically changed. The spectators’ faces also became increasingly colourful.
Glancing sideways, as expected, the expert’s face had already darkened. Those arms gripping giant hammers trembled slightly, resembling the very image of explosive fury!
