Chapter 603: Chapter 593: Tiankun Sect’s Genius, Bing Ao!

Shi Feng left Tianlan Imperial City on the second day!

In Tianlan Imperial City, the hottest spot these past few days was the Platform No. 10, where a figure clad in green-purple battled fiercely with an ice-colored figure!

The figure in green-purple was none other than Marquis Zi Xiao, Zi Xiao, wearing the Green-purple Battle Armor!

And the ice-colored figure was a youth roughly twenty-five or twenty-six years old, who turned out to be the Vice Hall Master of Tiankun Sect’s Xuanwu Hall, Bing Ao!

Rumors had it that the Vice Hall Master of Tiankun Sect’s Xuanwu Hall, Bing Ao, had a mysterious identity and exceptional talent, and no one knew where he actually came from.

Rumors also claimed that many years ago, when Hall Master Leng Yang of Xuanwu Hall was still a nobody within the Hall, he saved a young boy during a training mission, and that boy turned out to be Bing Ao, who was now on the Platform.

After Leng Yang saved Bing Ao, perhaps as a way to repay the favor, Bing Ao from then on followed Leng Yang and joined the Tiankun Sect’s Xuanwu Hall!

With Bing Ao’s help, Leng Yang’s reputation soared, and he quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the Hall Master of one of the four halls of Tiankun Sect, Xuanwu Hall, and Bing Ao naturally became the Vice Hall Master.

The Hall Masters of Tiankun Sect’s four great halls were said to be Martial Saints, but because Xuanwu Hall had the genius Bing Ao, also a Martial Saint, who wholeheartedly supported Leng Yang, no one objected to Leng Yang holding the position of Hall Master!

...

Early today, at Platform No. 25, Arena Master Zi Xiao waited at the much-talked-about, attention-grabbing Platform No. 10. Many people realized that today, Marquis Zi Qing, Zi Xiao, aimed to challenge the talent who had lately gained immense fame, Shi Feng, for slaughtering Wang Cong, the Young Lord of Dragon Tiger Sect!

What was expected to be another eagerly awaited battle of geniuses turned into a twist when Marquis Zi Qing stood on the platform awaiting the youth, and instead of the talented Shi Feng, another genius from the Eastern Domain arrived, Arena Master of Platform No. 89, Bing Ao!

As soon as Bing Ao landed on the platform, he arrogantly ordered Zi Xiao to step down, claiming that the man, Bing Ao, was destined to kill today!

At this moment, people realized that Shi Feng must have some feud with Bing Ao! And many sighed, thinking that the young one seemed to be taking the path of making enemies. Just yesterday, Wang Cong came to Platform No. 10, waiting early, and as the battle with the youth began, he unleashed mighty Martial Skills, aiming each strike to put the other to death.

The two clearly had a grudge!

And after Shi Feng executed Wang Cong, Bing Ao arrived today, and as soon as he spoke, he professed a desire to execute him, indicating another grudge!

Having killed the vengeful Wang Cong, today came Bing Ao, equally intent on putting him to death!

However, a sentence from Marquis Zi Qing, Zi Xiao, to Bing Ao caused a stir among the crowd, "It is I who shall take that little beast’s life!"

No one expected that his list of enemies, those wanting him dead, had not only included Wang Cong and Bing Ao, but now added another one, Marquis Zi Qing, Zi Xiao!

And the crowd also realized that this young man truly was a troublemaker! Enemy after enemy was made, and those who held deep grudges against him turned out to be such famous and distinguished individuals!

Thereafter, Zi Xiao and Bing Ao began their fight, which only grew fiercer as it progressed!

...

"Rumors say that Bing Ao had entered the Martial Saint Realm several years ago, and all these years later, it is said that he is only a step away from the Two-star Martial Saint Realm. In my opinion, Marquis Zi Qing only recently entered the Martial Saint Realm; I don’t think he is a match for Bing Ao!" a Martial Artist watching the battle commented from below the platform.

"Rumors have it that Bing Ao, with his cold disposition, rarely interacts with anyone aside from Leng Yang, let alone make enemies.

"But recently, I heard some news," someone speculated, combining the information he had received days ago. "Leng Yang, the Hall Master of the Tiankun Sect’s Xuanwu Hall, was killed in our Tianlan Empire’s Shennhui City along with the City Lord Shenn Aoxin! Could it be the work of that brash young man?"

As this martial artist speculated and spoke, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he let out a cry of astonishment.

This one is truly a troublemaker!

After his cry of surprise, someone nearby responded, "There must be no mistake! He even dared to kill Bai Junshuang from the Moonlight Sect and Wang Cong from the Dragon Tiger Sect. What else could he not do!"

...

"Boom!" Suddenly, the green-purple figure clashed intensely with the ice figure on the number 10 arena platform, emitting a thunderous explosion as the air violently shook.

Yet immediately after, to everyone’s disbelief, the ice figure—the veteran warrior Bing Ao who had been in the Saint Realm for many years—flew backwards like a kite with its string cut, propelled rapidly away by the force of the collision.

"This power!" Bing Ao, as he was sent flying backward, felt the power that Zi Xiao had just unleashed, and his face drastically changed, revealing an extremely shocked expression!

And Zi Xiao, with a cold and aloof face, still stood proudly in his original spot!

"How... How is this possible! Bing Ao has been a saint for many years, only a step away from Two-star Martial Saint, and his strength is nearly that of the Two-star Martial Saint Realm! Marquis Zi Xiao has only just entered the Saint Realm a few days ago! How could he send Bing Ao flying and still stand there proudly?!"

"Could it be... Could it be that Marquis Zi Xiao has already stepped into the Two-star Martial Saint Realm?"

"This... How could this be possible! He has only been a One-star Martial Saint for a short time; how could he so quickly progress to the Two-star Martial Saint! Even if he’s a genius! Even if he’s an evil demon! This is impossible!"

"Then... how do you explain him sending Bing Ao flying?"

"This..."

"The game should end now!" Marquis Zi Xiao, standing tall on the number 10 arena platform, looked disdainfully at Bing Ao flying backward, and muttered to himself in scorn.

Immediately, Zi Xiao clenched his left fist and hurled a punch towards Bing Ao!

Bing Ao, having momentarily paused in the void to stop his backward flight, was taken by surprise as a massive green-purple fist shadow suddenly burst forth from in front of him. Feeling the power of the approaching Green-purple Fist Shadow, his face changed dramatically once more,

"It’s indeed the power of that level! It’s indeed the power of that level! This person has truly reached such a realm! I am... going to be defeated!"

As Bing Ao sensed the Green-purple Fist Shadow and murmured to himself, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a cold air flowed before him. Icy air surged from all around rapidly toward Bing Ao, condensing in front of him into a thick and sturdy Ice Shield to resist Zi Xiao’s strike.

However, immediately after, the Green-purple Fist Shadow collided violently with the Ice Shield, and with a "bang," the Ice Shield shattered under the force of the fist shadow. Then, the Green-purple Fist Shadow slammed into Bing Ao’s body, blasting his figure with a punch and sending him flying rapidly out of the number 10 arena platform!

"Bing... Bing Ao was really defeated!"

"He’s defeated!"

"Bing Ao is defeated!"

As the crowd watched the ice figure flying out of the number 10 arena platform, they erupted in a chorus of astonished shouts, the sounds undulating continuously!
