The air crackled with tension.
A fierce battle was imminent.
Tao Long was enveloped in a torrent of primal energy, a long saber gripped in his hand.
"Zhang Yang, it's your honor to die by my Blood Drinking Saber! Perish!"
Boom!
Instantly.
The Blood Drinking Saber unleashed astonishing fluctuations, aiming directly for Zhang Yang's head!
This opening move was a killing blow, immediately making everyone tense.
The onlookers even forgot to breathe, their eyes fixed on the battlefield without blinking!
The Second Prince and others were prepared to intervene at any moment!
Only Huo Zhu and his companions remained unperturbed.
No matter how powerful Tao Long was, he was still in the Hun Yuan realm!
How could Zhang Yang possibly lose!
At that moment.
A flash of white light appeared in Zhang Yang's palm. He summoned the crystal coffin and placed it directly in front of him as a shield.
"Is this all you've got? You're not enough to kill me," Zhang Yang sneered dismissively, his expression relaxed.
Clang!
The Blood Drinking Saber struck the crystal coffin. A massive shockwave erupted, forcing the onlookers to retreat.
Yet, Zhang Yang remained unmoved, as if unaffected!
The crystal coffin, which had blocked the Blood Drinking Saber, didn't even tremble!
This!
Tao Long was shocked.
Although he hadn't used his full strength in that saber strike, he had still used seventy percent of his power!
And Zhang Yang had blocked it with such ease?
How was this possible?
"Is that all?" Zhang Yang looked at Tao Long with disdain, a cold smile on his lips.
"You!"
Tao Long was infuriated and roared again.
"Don't be arrogant, take another blow from me!"
Buzz.
The Blood Drinking Saber emitted astonishing fluctuations, its blade trembling uncontrollably.
Then, it slashed towards Zhang Yang once more.
This time.
Tao Long used his full strength. He refused to believe Zhang Yang could still remain unharmed!
But!
The reality was just that. The crystal coffin remained as still as ever.
"Where did you get this coffin? Why is it so uncanny?"
Tao Long was dumbfounded. He attributed Zhang Yang's ability to withstand his killing blow entirely to the crystal coffin.
"It's just that you're too weak, what does the coffin have to do with it?" Zhang Yang sneered.
"You!" Tao Long was indignant, his body trembling with rage.
"What's the point of relying on a divine weapon? If you have the ability, let's both abandon our weapons and see if I don't beat you to death!"
Hiss~
As soon as Tao Long uttered these words.
The crowd of onlookers let out murmurs of disapproval.
"Hmm, he can't beat others, so he blames their weapons for being too good. Doesn't that seem a bit shameless?"
"Exactly. Having a divine weapon is also part of one's strength. If he wants Zhang Yang not to use the coffin, why doesn't Tao Long lower his cultivation realm to match Zhang Yang's?"
"Indeed. I didn't expect someone from the Beast King Army to be like this. I've really learned something today."
"..."
The Zhenxi Beast King, hearing the scornful voices around him, felt his face flush.
"Tao Long! Finish it quickly!" the Zhenxi Beast King said sternly.
"Yes!" Tao Long knew he had spoken out of turn and his expression immediately turned serious.
He would win this battle even if it cost him his life!
Otherwise, he would bring utter disgrace to the Xijiang Beast King Army!
"Zhang Yang, take another saber strike from me!"
Tao Long's expression was serious. He gathered his aura to its peak state, preparing for a desperate struggle!
At this moment, however, Zhang Yang put away the crystal coffin.
"I agree to your terms. Throw away your wood-chopping knife."
Huh?
Pfft!
Tao Long had already raised his energy to the highest level, his saber intent already filling the surroundings.
And then Zhang Yang said to throw away his weapon?
This had put Tao Long in a terrible predicament.
With his meridians in turmoil, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You! Fine! You brought this upon yourself, don't blame me!" Tao Long said sternly.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with elation. Without the hard crystal coffin, Zhang Yang was no match for him.
Instantly.
Tao Long clenched his fist and charged towards Zhang Yang!
Seeing this.
The people outside the arena grew anxious!
They also believed that Zhang Yang dared to challenge the Zhenxi Beast King solely because of his indestructible crystal coffin.
Now that he had put the coffin away, how would he fight Tao Long?
Wasn't this equivalent to crippling himself?
"Alas! Zhang Yang is being foolish!"
"Ancestors, prepare to make a move!"
The Second Prince and others jumped up and down, thinking Zhang Yang was too arrogant!
But, in the next second, they were all stunned.
With a thunderous roar!
Zhang Yang's fist collided with Tao Long's, and a wave of energy surged outwards.
Tao Long's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Then.
A trace of true dragon energy pursued from within Zhang Yang.
The golden dragon swiftly caught up to Tao Long's body and pierced through him.
Bang!
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, Tao Long's body exploded into pieces!
His corpse was utterly destroyed.
Hiss~
A gasp of shock swept through the arena, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Tao Long was dead?
Not even a body remained, all reduced to fragments?
This was completely different from what they had expected!
They had thought that even if Zhang Yang had a chance to win without the crystal coffin, he would be locked in a fierce battle.
Who would have thought.
It was even faster than before, a complete and utter annihilation, ending Tao Long's life with a single punch!
Compared to their shock, Zhang Yang remained calm, looking at the Zhenxi Beast King and sneering.
"Anyone else? If not, come at me yourself, or should I have the entire Beast King Army attack?"
"Zhang Yang, you have truly angered this King!" The Zhenxi Beast King's face was as dark as water. He rode his lion and charged directly at Zhang Yang.
The Fangtian Huaji in his hand flew out instantly, aiming straight for Zhang Yang's face!
The Beast King was enraged!
He had personally intervened!
The morale of the Beast King Army, which had been low, suddenly erupted with enthusiastic cheers.
The Second Prince and the others' faces changed drastically.
The Beast King's personal intervention had exceeded their expectations.
They had never imagined that Zhang Yang could defeat all the high-end combatants of the Beast King Army.
"This is bad. Now, there's no way for us to save Zhang Yang! Quickly notify Father Emperor!" the Second Prince said anxiously.
"Second Brother, don't rush!" The Sixth Prince's eyes gleamed.
"Sixth Brother, what do you mean? Your relationship with Zhang Yang should be better than mine, are you going to stand by and watch him die?" the Second Prince asked, confused.
"Haha, it is precisely because my relationship with Zhang Yang is good that I am stopping you." The Sixth Prince laughed heartily.
Then, under the puzzled gazes of everyone, he revealed his guess.
"I believe we have all underestimated Zhang Yang. His true strength is definitely beyond the Hun Yuan realm; it must have surpassed it!"
As soon as the Sixth Prince said this.
Everyone fell into a brief period of contemplation.
They also felt that this possibility existed!
Zhang Yang's bold decision to have the Five Dragons of Huaxia retreat entirely and choose to face the Beast King Army alone.
It was to avoid his weaknesses and prevent the Five Dragons of Huaxia from engaging the Beast King Army.
And he himself, with his formidable combat power, was not afraid!
Thinking of this.
Everyone looked at Zhang Yang with a sense of awe.
How did the Emperor, who was far away in the Imperial City, guess this point?
And how did Zhang Yang manage to break through to the Yuan Fu realm within a month?
What exactly did he do when he went to Linhai City?
