Meanwhile.
In a secluded corner, Bai Hao, Hua Yue, Su Long, and others were also staring wide-eyed at the young figure, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Hua Yue was extremely anxious.
The Dark Martial Hall and Young Master Mo Xie were not to be trifled with.
Why was Mr. Ling so reckless!
Even if he was a respected Xuan-tier weapon refiner, he was no match for the Dark Martial Hall.
Bai Hao, Su Long, and the others, however, became excited. If not for their reservations, they would have applauded long ago.
They rejoiced in their hearts.
Ling Fan was actively seeking death; this fellow was truly foolish to the extreme.
On the Ji family's side.
Ji Tianzong, Ji Xian, Ji De, and others were stunned when they saw Ling Fan step forward.
Immediately, they began to sneer repeatedly.
Heh!
This fellow named Ling was truly arrogant beyond measure.
They had thought that his claim to save Ji Hong was just talk.
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect him to actually dare to step forward!
He had guts, they supposed.
But he was just too foolish.
Unlike them, who were wise enough to protect themselves.
On the high platform.
The moment Zhang Liuming saw Ling Fan appear.
He instinctively covered his face, as if the slap Ling Fan had delivered earlier still faintly ached.
"Young Master Mo Xie, this person has indeed jumped out! How can you tolerate him being so presumptuous in front of you!"
Young Master Mo Xie sneered.
He looked down at Ling Fan with disdain, as if he were looking down on an insignificant insect.
"You dare to save the person I want to kill? What are you, a mere cripple with no cultivation? After I kill Ji Hong, I will deal with you properly!"
Young Master Mo Xie's eyes shot out a look of contempt.
He made a knife with his hand and slashed fiercely through the air.
Li Huipai below understood.
The violent martial qi surging in his hand fiercely struck towards Ji Hong's head below.
"Ah! No!"
"Stop!"
"Alas..."
At that moment.
Ji Yan and Liu Han cried out in alarm.
Many powerful figures shook their heads and sighed, unable to bear it.
Even more people's eyes were red with excitement.
Just then.
Everyone felt a flash before their eyes.
Before Li Huipai's strike could reach Ji Hong's head.
He himself flew out, crashing heavily against the inner wall, and awkwardly got up to a half-kneeling position, looking at the battle stage with surprise and uncertainty.
He saw a young, gray-haired figure standing beside Ji Hong.
Who else could it be but Ling Fan?
At that moment.
The entire audience fell silent.
This unremarkable gray-haired youth had actually kicked the quasi-Heavenly Yuan realm Protector Li flying with a single kick...
Although Li Huipai was partly caught off guard.
This was still enough to shock people.
After all, a quasi-Heavenly Yuan realm expert standing still and letting you hit him, ordinary martial artists below the peak of Xuan-gang realm couldn't even move a quasi-Heavenly Yuan realm expert!
"My heavens, what did I just see... He's not a cripple; this young man is a hidden martial arts powerhouse!"
"Damn, that's so fierce, kicking a protector-level expert flying. Even if it was a sneak attack, one would need at least peak Xuan-gang realm strength to do that."
"What the heck, I misjudged him! What is this kid's background?"
"Peak Xuan-gang realm at such a young age! When did such a prodigy appear in our Tianchu City? I've never seen him before."
"I think I heard Liu Han call him Master Ling just now..."
"Are there any families surnamed Ling in our Tianchu City? I don't think so!"
At that moment, everyone began to discuss.
In the corner.
Bai Hao, Su Long, and others, as well as Hua Yue, were stunned.
Especially Bai Hao and Su Long.
Their mouths were wide enough to fit a large fist.
Their hearts were stirred by immense waves.
Wasn't this Ling Qingyun a cripple?
How could he be so strong!
He had at least peak Xuan-gang realm strength.
And he was so young...
This was too unbelievable.
Hua Yue stared at the figure, lost in a daze.
No wonder she always felt that Ling Fan possessed an effortless and calm demeanor of a strong person.
It turned out that Ling Fan was actually a martial arts powerhouse!
It was just that his strength far surpassed others, so others couldn't perceive his cultivation.
"So you are not only a Xuan-tier weapon refining genius, but also an unparalleled martial arts prodigy..."
Hua Yue's beautiful eyes shone brighter and brighter.
But her heart sank.
The more outstanding Ling Fan was, the further out of her reach he became.
Below the battle stage.
Ji Yan stared at the gray-haired figure, completely stunned...
He actually made a move!
So strong.
Was this his true strength?
But no matter how strong he was, could he contend against the entire Dark Martial Hall alone?
...
Pfft!
On the Ji family's side.
This time, it was Ji Tianzong's turn to spit out water.
The mouthful of good tea he had just drunk hadn't been swallowed yet, and he suddenly spat it out, splashing it all over Ji De.
Ji De forgot to even wipe it, staring blankly at the gray-haired figure on the battle stage...
Damn it!
Where did Ji Hong, this little brat, meet such a monstrous friend?
On the high platform.
Young Master Mo Xie, who had been comfortably reclining,
Suddenly sat up straight.
His eyes shot out beams of disbelief as he stared intently at Ling Fan.
Kicking Protector Li flying with one kick...
Even he couldn't claim to achieve such a feat!
This meant...
This supposedly useless youth in his eyes was actually a true prodigy, far stronger than himself.
His eyes involuntarily revealed a look of jealousy and hatred.
He would not allow Tianchu City to have any prodigy stronger and more outstanding than him.
"Protector Li! Why aren't you killing him quickly? When else will you wait!"
Young Master Mo Xie's forehead veins bulged as he roared.
"Yes!"
Protector Li stood up. Having been caught off guard and kicked flying by Ling Fan, he felt a loss of face. He was one of the six great protectors of the Dark Martial Hall.
Moreover, among the six great protectors, he was one of the strongest.
"Kid, you're dead!"
Protector Li glared fiercely at Ling Fan.
However, Ling Fan's expression remained calm. He glanced at Protector Li indifferently, then his gaze fell upon Young Master Mo Xie and the five protector experts behind him.
"Come at me together. Dealing with you one by one is a waste of my time."
Ling Fan said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire audience erupted in an uproar!
Too arrogant!
Who did this young man think he was?
Did he consider himself a true Heavenly Yuan realm martial arts master!
He was actually provoking the six protectors of the Dark Martial Hall, asking them to attack together.
These were six top experts!
The weakest was at the peak of Xuan-gang realm.
The strongest, like Li Huipai, was infinitely close to the Heavenly Yuan realm.
The six of them combined could even contend against a true Heavenly Yuan realm martial arts master.
On what grounds did this young man dare to do this?
Did he really think he was invincible in the world?
"This kid is dead," Zhang Liuming thought resentfully.
On the Ji family's side, Ji Xian, Ji Tianzong, Ji De, and others felt the same way.
"You kid, you're truly boastful! To deal with a junior like you, who still smells of milk, why would the six of us need to join forces."
Protector Li's expression was extremely displeased.
