Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 344: Arrogance

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Arrogance

Being directly challenged by name, Sha Fenghua and Shi Haotian, of course, could not pretend they hadn’t heard.

"Heh, scared I won’t accept!" Sha Fenghua took the lead and stepped forward.

Shi Haotian did not speak, but his pageboy declared, "Is my master someone to be challenged by any Tom, Dick, or Harry out there?"

"How daring!" Tang Hai chided lightly and, with a tap of his foot, he lunged towards the pageboy.

Whoosh! He moved swiftly, appearing as light smoke, and many people realized only after he had dashed above them, leaving them erupting in a cold sweat.

—If Tang Hai had intended to kill, they would have already been corpses by now.

Hisss, what incredible speed.

"Die!" Tang Hai made his move, striking towards the pageboy.

"Hmph!" Shi Haotian naturally could not just watch. Perhaps he was indifferent to the fate of the pageboy, but having someone killed right in front of him would be a great loss of face.

Therefore, he had to save him.

He extended his hand, blocking Tang Hai’s move.

Boom, a muffled sound echoed, and Shi Haotian involuntarily staggered backward, unable to withstand the force.

This scene caused all onlookers to frown. The notoriously ferocious Shi Haotian was actually at a disadvantage in a clash with Tang Hai?

Although this battle did not affect their personal interests directly, if Shi Haotian were defeated, it would tarnish the reputation of the Eastern Fire Continent, leaving everyone without face.

"Is that all!" Tang Hai scoffed coldly, counterattacking with a palm strike still intent on taking the pageboy’s life.

"Hum!" A qin melody sounded, and suddenly a wave of sound transformed into a sharp sword, slashing at Tang Hai.

"Hm?" Tang Hai revealed a hint of surprise, withdrawing his hand to press down on the sonic wave.

Boom!

The sonic wave sword struck his hand, and he forcefully extinguished it, but the palm of his hand was slashed, and blood immediately flowed out.

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but get excited, and some even cheered.

They had gained the upper hand, good!

However, Shi Haotian wore a grave expression. Others did not know, but he was well aware that the Devil’s Sound Technique was his ultimate skill, incredibly lethal. Yet, Tang Hai clashed it with his bare hand, merely breaking the skin and drawing blood. How terrifying must his strength be?

A daunting enemy, unlike any before.

"Quite interesting." Tang Hai raised his hand to look at it, his lips curling into a somewhat grim smile.

"Tang Hai, can you manage it?" Zhu Ye looked over at him.

"Within ten moves, I will surely take him down," Tang Hai said assertively.

"Haha, then let us see who is faster!" Zhu Ye laughed heartily, and with a movement, he lunged at Sha Fenghua.

Tang Hai, too, turned into light smoke and rushed again towards Shi Haotian.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both parties simultaneously erupted into intense battle. This time, Tang Hai and Zhu Ye unleashed great combat power, instantly overpowering Shi Haotian and Sha Fenghua.

After five moves, both geniuses of the Eastern Fire Continent were cornered and extremely disheveled.

Just five moves.

The onlookers were speechless, feeling a heavy weight on their chests that was suffocating.

An ordinary force from the Western Rock Continent, yet two random individuals were significantly stronger than their own geniuses.

Was the gap between the two continents really so large?

Seven moves, eight moves, nine moves!

"Lie down!" Tang Hai sneered coldly, his palm striking down, overpowering Shi Haotian who instantly fell to the ground.

Simultaneously, Zhu Ye also burst out laughing, knocking down Sha Fenghua.

Thus, the two great talents of the Eastern Fire Continent were utterly defeated.

Such an outcome left everyone feeling a weight on their chests, unable to utter a word.

Defeated so cleanly and swiftly, what excuse could there be?

"I’ll mark your faces to remind you to stay far away from me in the future!" Tang Hai laughed, pulling out a small knife and moving to carve words into Shi Haotian’s face.

Just as the tip of his knife was about to touch down, he suddenly raised his hand to block, and with a clink, his hand was forcibly knocked back a good distance.

What?

Everyone saw that a hairpin had appeared on the ground.

Hiss, someone had thrown the hairpin, stopping Tang Hai.

How powerful!

Who is this?

"Hmm?" Tang Hai, surprised, looked toward his left.

The crowd also turned their gaze in that direction and saw a woman walking gracefully toward them, ethereal as an immortal.

Shi Hao was stunned, for the woman was none other than Lin Yuyue.

I hadn’t noticed it, but her strength is actually so formidable!

Tang Hai’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, "So it’s a gorgeous beauty! How may I address you, miss?"

"What does it have to do with you?" A cold voice resounded as Luo Jian’s figure appeared; he looked at Tang Hai with a protective demeanor.

"I’m asking her, and how is that any concern of yours?" Tang Hai was not intimidated; he was, after all, from the Western Rock Continent and naturally looked down on everyone here.

"Then you will eat your own fruit of bitterness!" Luo Jian immediately charged forward.

Tang Hai met him head-on, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

This time, Tang Hai had met his match. As they fought, it became clear that neither could gain the upper hand.

Therefore, after fighting for a while, the two men backed off, opting not to waste more time.

—Unless they launched a major attack, they could fight all day and still not determine the victor.

But with their strengths so closely matched, once a major attack was employed, it would be a matter of life and death—neither could afford such an outcome.

This was just a dispute over pride, not worth escalating to such an extent.

As the arrogance of the Western Rock Continent was finally curtailed, everyone looked at Luo Jian with eyes full of admiration, as if he was a savior.

Luo Jian himself stood proudly, as though it was only to be expected.

"You’re from the Nine Islands, aren’t you?" Tang Hai revealed a disdainful expression, "You should know, I am merely from the Eight Islands."

What, the Eight Islands!

Everyone showed an incredulous look, then felt tingles on their scalps.

Tang Hai was only from the Eight Islands!

He from the Eight Islands managed to stand his ground against Luo Jian of the Nine Islands, the prodigy of the Purple Star Sect. Although not a disciple of cultivation, in reality, he possessed a disciple’s combat power.

Heavens, is this the standard of the Western Rock Continent?

Pride vanished from Luo Jian’s face, having only managed a draw with the advantage of one island—his pride could not accept this.

Is this the capability of the Western Rock Continent?

"Humph!" Tang Hai scoffed twice at Luo Jian, "Wait until the Endless Trial begins, then come and experience it again!"

Entering the Endless Trial, that would be a true test, a serious confrontation—although he did not know what the Endless Trial actually tested, its name implied it was about fighting and killing.

Zhu Ye made a throat-slitting gesture toward Luo Jian, and the two turned around, heading back to the Tianyun Temple.

Luo Jian couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, feeling extremely displeased.

This had nothing to do with him initially, but now he had made enemies with two powerful opponents, truly an uninvited disaster.
