Sensing those contemptuous gazes, Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed slightly. He looked somewhat perplexedly towards the foremost figure among that group. It was none other than Rainbow Light Pavilion’s Young Pavilion Master, Liu Yun!
Beside Liu Yun stood Qiao Yuewei. What caused Qin Yichen’s expression to tighten slightly were two figures behind Liu Yun, two Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperors!
Even more terrifying, these two experts possessed nearly identical appearances. Even the auras emanating from their bodies seemed to merge as one!
“Young Pavilion Master, is this the person you mentioned?”
As Qin Yichen scrutinised the pair, they likewise assessed him. Upon discovering the latter was merely a Peak Stage Martial King, both men’s brows furrowed involuntarily. The individual on the left enquired.
“Peak Stage Martial King, such strength proves rather inadequate, doesn’t it?”
The other also frowned, disdain evident in his gaze.
“Brother Qin is no ordinary Peak Stage Martial King.” Observing Qin Yichen, Liu Yun shook his head.
“Is that so? Young Pavilion Master, I’d rather like to test just how extraordinary he truly is.”
Hearing these words, the dissatisfaction in both men’s eyes intensified considerably. The Imperial Dynasties Assembly had already commenced, yet their Young Pavilion Master not only failed to lead the team’s departure but instead came to this godforsaken place seeking someone…
“Silence!” A cold gleam flashed through Liu Yun’s eyes as he rebuked sharply.
Immediately, both men shrugged their shoulders and ceased speaking. However, the contempt in their eyes diminished not one whit.
“*Tsk tsk.* Liu Yun, is this the assistance you’ve recruited? Such strength is truly enlightening!” At that moment, a mocking voice rang from the opposite street.
Hearing this voice, Liu Yun’s expression darkened abruptly. He observed a large contingent advancing towards them from the opposite street.
As they approached, the crowd behind Liu Yun surged with Yuan Energy fluctuations. Instantly, the atmosphere grew tense.
Qin Yichen glanced sideways. At the forefront of that contingent, a youth with fiery red hair regarded Liu Yun with derision. Judging from his aura fluctuations, he had remarkably reached the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm!
Moreover, among his followers were two additional Mid Stage Martial Emperors!
When Qin Yichen’s gaze fell upon the emblems adorning their chests, comprehension dawned in his eyes. These individuals unmistakably belonged to the Gathering Space Tower!
The antagonism between Gathering Space Tower and Rainbow Light Pavilion was no secret. Regardless of circumstances, both sides sought every opportunity to strike against the other, particularly during such a pinnacle assembly for the younger generation, the Imperial Dynasties Assembly!
“What’s this? Don’t tell me Young Master Liu Yun also intends to participate in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly?” The fiery-haired youth contemptuously swept his gaze across Liu Yun, speaking with playful mockery.
“What’s this? Ju Qi, the event has not even begun and you already fear this Young Pavilion Master?” Liu Yun likewise snorted coldly.
“Fear? Haha, Liu Yun, a character like you. Crushing you would be no less difficult than crushing an ant!”
As though hearing the world’s greatest jest, Ju Qi roared with laughter. Simultaneously, a terrifying pressure crossed several metres distance, pressing down upon Liu Yun!
The twin Brothers behind Liu Yun witnessed this and stepped forward in unison, resisting that pressure. These two cultivators merely at Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm faced a Late Stage Martial Emperor’s pressure without showing the slightest disadvantage!
“Liu Xin, Liu Min, do you truly believe you can obstruct me?”
Ju Qi snorted coldly, a frigid gleam flashing through his eyes. The next instant, Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm Yuan Energy rippled outward. Immediately, flying sand and stones filled this street. Even the Feng Family manor’s surrounding walls collapsed!
Under this imposing momentum, nearly everyone revealed expressions of profound shock. Could Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm truly possess such formidable power?
“Haha, who dares provoke your Grandfather Li!”
Suddenly, a rough voice rang from beyond those collapsed walls. Subsequently, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly. A nightmarish robust figure emerged from that small courtyard.
*Whoosh!* With Li Yuanba’s appearance, the originally congested street instantly cleared a space several metres wide before this small courtyard!
Witnessing this robust silhouette, the two experts behind Liu Yun’s expressions immediately tensed. Though they constantly engaged in secluded cultivation, they remained aware of Heart Trial City’s basic intel, such as this battle-crazed Li Yuanba!
“Elder Brother Li!” Liu Yun’s mouth twitched, yet inexplicable relief flooded his heart. Immediately, he cupped his fists towards Li Yuanba, calling out affectionately.
Seeing this, though the latter harboured some dissatisfaction towards this fellow who dared not accept his challenge, given Qin Yichen’s face, he merely nodded faintly.
“Li Yuanba? Why is he here!?” Upon seeing Li Yuanba, Ju Qi’s pupils likewise contracted sharply. When he noticed those battle-eager eyes focusing upon himself, he suddenly regained awareness. Immediately, he laughed dryly, and his Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm Yuan Energy pressure completely vanished.
“Bah, red-haired, come battle your Grandfather for three hundred rounds!”
Seeing the exhilarating aura recede, Li Yuanba immediately grew anxious. He had not enjoyed a thoroughly satisfying battle in numerous days. Before his words even finished echoing, he hefted his pair of colossal hammers and charged towards Ju Qi.
*Boom!* Before the person arrived, a terrifying force field already enveloped the area!
Witnessing this scene, the numerous Gathering Space Tower prodigies behind Ju Qi momentarily bristled with fury. This brute was too reckless! Who engaged in combat without any warning, launching directly into violence?
Observing that strike, a colossal hammer seemingly capable of blotting out the sky was swung. Profound wariness surfaced in their eyes. Should that land upon their ‘small’ frames, even surviving would certainly result in grievous disability!
“Liu Yun, if you’ve got the ability, don’t let me encounter you again! Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”
Recognising Li Yuanba’s action, Ju Qi understood that anymore delay would make escaping far more difficult. Immediately, he coldly shouted towards Liu Yun, waved his hand, and his figure rapidly fled.
“Fleeing again!? Damn it!” Seeing the figures vanish from view within several eye-blinks, Li Yuanba cursed in frustration, subsequently scanning his surroundings.
“Move! Move!”
“Hurry and leave!”
Wherever Li Yuanba’s gaze swept, nobody dared meet his eyes directly. All lowered their heads, swiftly departing with hurried steps.
Such behaviour differed little from avoiding a god of plague.
“How tiring!” Li Yuanba grumbled while hefting his colossal hammers, returning once more. His gaze lifted momentarily to Liu Xin and Liu Min, previously so arrogant, now averted their eyes, not daring a direct confrontation.
