Jing Miao clutched his severed leg, white bone shards glinting, blood a stark crimson. He cried out in pain, his gaze towards Ling Fan filled with utter shock and dread.
After all, he was a Golden Core Martial Lord.
Even if he had just broken through, he was still no match for a Martial King of the Giant Spirit Realm!
What kind of monster was this guy?
Ling Fan looked at Jing Miao with cold indifference. The contemptuous, dismissive look made Jing Miao want to vomit blood from sheer humiliation.
Once upon a time, he was the one who looked down on others.
Now, it was his turn to be looked down upon!
Ling Fan clasped his hands behind his back, his posture upright, and sneered, "I've already faced two Golden Core realm experts from Giant Whale City. Their laws are weak, their foundations shallow, their power superficial, like ants. What makes you so arrogant? You are all just a bunch of trash."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The eyes of the strong experts from Giant Whale City seemed about to burst into flames. They gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and wished they could tear Ling Fan to shreds.
"Brat, don't be so arrogant! Let me have a go at you, and I'll show you the might of Giant Whale City!"
"Let me teach him a lesson. None of you make a move. I must tear him apart with my own hands to vent my hatred."
"I'll do it!"
The strong experts from Giant Whale City stepped forward one after another, eager to challenge Ling Fan.
Ling Fan's gaze swept over the assembled experts from Giant Whale City and he said indifferently, "Don't waste time. All of you come at me together. I'm in a hurry."
"What!"
The strong experts from Giant Whale City felt as if they had suffered the greatest insult. Their eyes bulged, staring intently at Ling Fan, disbelief etched on their faces. They simply couldn't believe their ears. This young man from the Giant Spirit Realm was too arrogant, wanting to take on all of them by himself!
What did they take Giant Whale City for?
Not just them.
The strong experts and guests of Xuan Yue Island were also stunned.
"Isn't this guy too full of himself? Is he looking for death? Even if the City Lord of Giant Whale City doesn't make a move, there are still over ten Golden Core experts, and even more quasi-Golden Core experts. Combined, they are enough to match a powerful top-tier Golden Core realm expert. No matter how strong he is, a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves!"
Many people muttered to themselves.
The toad stood upright, clapping its webbed feet and laughing heartily, "Boss Ling is mighty! Let these idiots know that there's always someone better, and there's always a sky beyond the sky!"
It seemed to have absolute confidence in Ling Fan's strength.
Xuan Na felt a bead of sweat for Ling Fan.
Wei Bin comforted her, "Don't worry. Brother Ling's strength is far beyond our imagination. These people, though they look powerful, are merely paper tigers before him."
On the other side.
Xuan Ye and Li Mo Bing's eyes, however, revealed a venomous glint, wishing Ling Fan would be beaten to death by the people of Giant Whale City, to avenge their past humiliation.
"Let me test his depth."
A strong expert from Giant Whale City stepped out from the crowd.
It was the same Giant Whale City Martial Lord who had previously defeated the mid-stage Golden Core expert from Xuan Yue Island.
His name was Yi Hua.
Seeing him personally take action, the strong experts from Giant Whale City gained confidence.
"Boom!"
Powerful Golden Core laws, thick as chains of order, sealed the void. Yi Hua stepped into the sky, his robes fluttering wildly. With every step he took, the void roared, showcasing his formidable power.
"Come and die."
He looked down at Ling Fan from above and said coldly.
"Overestimating yourself."
Ling Fan smiled faintly, his body suddenly soaring upwards, transforming into a meteor, and charging towards Yi Hua.
"Since you seek death, I shall grant it."
Yi Hua snorted coldly, countless law chains encircling him. He looked like an peerless martial god. As he pointed a finger, the void seemed to freeze. Immense power surged wildly, and endless laws transformed into a ferocious dragon, lunging to bite down on the approaching Ling Fan.
Crack!
The law dragon swallowed the meteor that Ling Fan had become in one gulp.
"Heh heh, you dare to be arrogant before Lord Yi Hua! You're simply throwing an egg against a rock."
"Good riddance!" Jing Miao, supported by one leg, stood and shouted gleefully.
On the Xuan Yue Island side, everyone felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. The sliver of hope that had just arisen was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
This mid-stage Golden Core Martial Lord from Giant Whale City was too powerful. Although Ling Fan could fight early-stage Golden Core experts, he was still no match for this one.
Just then.
A sudden change occurred in the arena.
The law dragon suddenly cracked, revealing countless fissures. Endless light streamed from the cracks. Then, before the astonished eyes of countless onlookers, the law dragon shattered inch by inch.
Ling Fan emerged from within, unscathed. Even the law chains of a mid-stage Golden Core expert couldn't trap him for even a moment.
"How is this possible!"
Yi Hua was greatly shocked.
His laws were not ordinary elemental laws, but contained a trace of spatial attribute, which he had comprehended from a broken spatial sacred artifact. They were incomparably sturdy and could seal Golden Core experts of higher realms.
Today, they had failed against a mere Giant Spirit Realm cultivator.
How could he not be shocked!
But now, he had no time to think further.
Ling Fan descended like a falling meteor, appearing before Yi Hua with incredible speed.
Yi Hua's eyes flashed with anger. He felt a sense of being looked down upon and insulted. He raised a hand, and endless laws encircled him as he clenched his fist and punched out.
"Shattering Void Demon Fist!"
Boom!
This punch seemed to collapse space. Black spatial turbulence appeared, and countless laws transformed into terrifying fist light, bombarding Ling Fan opposite him. Moreover, a subtle law enveloped the space, causing Ling Fan's body to feel as if it were imprisoned, locked by a powerful law, unable to evade.
This punch.
Was bound to hit.
"You're dead!"
Yi Hua grinned sinisterly, the fist light instantly engulfing the area in front of him.
However, before his grin could fully form, it froze on his face. He saw a figure, completely unharmed, tear through the fist light and appear before him. With one hand, he grabbed Yi Hua's neck and lifted him.
The tall and sturdy Yi Hua was lifted like a duck by its neck.
At that moment.
The entire arena fell silent!
"Am I dreaming?"
"Wow, my heavens, he actually defeated the mid-stage Golden Core Martial Lord from Giant Whale City!"
"Wonderful! So strong!"
The strong experts of Xuan Yue Island, after a moment of shock, erupted into cheers.
Their low morale surged once more.
Li Mo Bing and Xuan Ye exchanged glances, their eyes filled with awe.
"I told you, in my eyes, you are all ants. Do you believe me now?"
Ling Fan asked, holding Yi Hua in one hand.
Yi Hua's neck and face turned red. He felt he had never suffered such a profound humiliation in his life. His body struggled frantically, but Ling Fan's hand was like an iron hoop, suppressing even the laws within his body, rendering him powerless to resist.
"Let go of me! Do you want to start a war between Giant Whale City and Xuan Yue Island right now!"
Yi Hua shouted.
Below.
Ding Hui, the City Lord of Giant Whale City, his expression grim, finally spoke, "Let him go, and we will leave now."
Ling Fan grinned and pointed at Wei Bin, saying, "Giant Whale City injured my friend. I crippled two of your Golden Core experts. That's not too much, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Hui immediately felt a sense of foreboding and shouted, "Stop!"
However, Ling Fan was not afraid of him. With a flick of his finger, a "噗" sound was heard. Yi Hua's body was riddled with countless streams of light, his meridians, acupoints, and even his Golden Core within his body were all crippled.
"Ah!"
Yi Hua let out a pig-like scream.
