Zhou Xuan punched the Viper's chest, sending the Viper flying backward.
The third layer of the Golden Bell Shield's defense was broken.
Both the Viper and the Scorpion were sent flying.
However, they were unharmed.
Zhou Xuan sent the Viper and the Scorpion flying, but two bloodstains remained on his own body.
He gritted his teeth.
He looked at the crowd and smiled meaningfully.
Immediately, he unleashed the Nine Yang Vajra Demon Subduing Palm he had cultivated.
As this palm strike was unleashed, it seemed as though Zhou Xuan himself had transformed into a vajra meditating, forming a giant palm that enveloped the entire arena.
The giant palm, carrying the vast power of the true Yang, was capable of instantly crushing the Viper and the Scorpion into a state of defeat.
They both knew that continuing the fight would only lead to their disadvantage.
The two joined forces again, unleashing the immense pressure of the Heavenly God Realm.
This pressure formed a massive brown centipede, roaring as it attempted to pierce Zhou Xuan's giant palm.
However, they had not expected Zhou Xuan to pursue them, fearlessly using the Vajra Demon Subduing Palm to swat the brown centipede under his palm.
The brown centipede scrambled desperately under the palm, trying to escape the encirclement.
Seeing its plight, Zhou Xuan burst into laughter, "Running? Why aren't you running anymore? Weren't you very capable? Keep going!"
The Viper and the Scorpion were astonished by the power of Zhou Xuan's Demon Subduing Palm.
Not only could they not penetrate it, but it also moved at will, always anticipating where their centipede was burrowing.
After dodging, the centipede was left vulnerable to attack.
They dared not run, for Zhou Xuan's movement technique was too fast, terrifyingly so.
Before, they couldn't understand why Zhou Xuan only cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill and no other techniques.
Did he think other techniques were incompatible with the Nine Yang Divine Skill?
But now they were completely proven wrong.
It wasn't that Zhou Xuan didn't understand how to cultivate other techniques.
He had been taught too much by his master, and his innate Dao body allowed him to integrate and master everything.
His talent was far beyond that of other mere mortals.
This showed how futile all effort seemed in the face of innate talent.
Among martial artists, the disparity was even more pronounced!
It appeared now.
Although Zhou Xuan had only cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his Vajra Demon Subduing Palm, along with techniques like the Golden Bell Shield, had been fused together perfectly.
"You're so powerful, why aren't you running anymore?"
Zhou Xuan chased the Viper and the Scorpion, smiling.
He wasn't in a hurry at all, but rather like a cat toying with a mouse, watching them flee in front of him with amusement.
The Viper and the Scorpion grew increasingly alarmed as they ran, having used all their might but failing to injure Zhou Xuan in the slightest.
Moreover, as time passed, they became increasingly exhausted.
This was exactly the effect Zhou Xuan desired.
Just as he thought he had won, the leader of the Blood Fiend Gang, an old man, gave a command, and all the people who had been surrounding the arena leaped forward.
"Old man, are you disregarding the rules of the Silver Triangle and deliberately disrupting the order of the five major gangs?"
Lin Zhilong quickly stepped out from the crowd.
He stared coldly at the Blood Fiend.
"Don't you think this plaza is the territory of your Blood Fiend Gang, where you can do as you please?"
The old man of the Blood Fiend snorted, his eyes full of disdain. "You are mistaken. Not only are the leaders of the Silver Triangle present in the plaza, but so are the leaders of the other five major gangs. If you leave now, perhaps today's events can be considered as if they never happened."
"As long as you hand over the murderer of my grandson, Blood Wolf!"
"Old man, although I, Lin Zhilong, haven't killed anyone in a long time, I fear no one!" Lin Zhilong said coldly. "If the outcome cannot be decided today, I will not concede, even if it means fighting to the death."
"Hmph, if that's the case... then you shall die."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he charged towards Lin Zhilong.
Seeing this, Lin Zhilong quickly dodged.
But the old man's speed was incredible, and in an instant, he was behind Lin Zhilong.
Sensing the situation, Lin Zhilong quickly counterattacked but was sent flying by a palm strike, crashing into a large tree.
Lin Zhilong struggled to stand up and saw the triumphant smile on the old man's face.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Old thing, aren't you afraid of the five major gangs joining forces to suppress you by doing this?"
"Heh heh, our Blood Fiend Gang fears no one. Anyone who dares to oppose me will perish without a burial place!"
"Well said, you arrogant Blood Fiend Gang. Then today, I, Lin Zhilong, shall have to experience your might."
As Lin Zhilong finished speaking, a dagger appeared in his hand.
"There's an unwritten rule among the five major gangs: never interfere with each other's arena matches. Life and death are predetermined. Are you just getting angry out of shame?"
"I don't care what grudges you have with Zhou Xuan, but on my territory, none of you can touch him!"
The old man of the Blood Fiend snorted, "Lin Zhilong, you can protect him for a while, but not forever. He will eventually come out! The arena matches also have an end."
"Hmph, you still know this is my territory, and that I can protect him? Then what are you doing here with so many people?"
"The leader of the Silver Triangle should not be held by a bastard like you. The leadership of the number one gang rightfully belongs to the native members of the Silver Triangle, like us in the Blood Fiend Gang."
Lin Zhilong secretly thought, "No wonder these guys aren't worried at all. It turns out they had this planned all along."
But he maintained his composure. "Since you had everything arranged, why are you only making your move today?"
"Are the other three gangs allowing you to do this?"
Lin Zhilong was very confused.
He suspected that the other three gangs had already been subdued by the Blood Fiend.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so busy that he only arrived after his grandson was beaten to death by Zhou Xuan.
The astute Lin Zhilong quickly figured this out.
"Because..." the old man suddenly smiled. "Our Blood Fiend Gang doesn't want to cooperate with anyone. We only want to be the sole overlord of this region."
"Damn it!"
"Do you think your few hundred men can achieve this? It's wishful thinking," Lin Zhilong said coldly. Despite feeling immensely nervous, his expression remained unchanged.
His men also appeared, forming a cordon around the arena.
Now, the Viper, the Scorpion, and Zhou Xuan were in a standoff.
The Blood Fiend Gang was on the outer perimeter on the second level.
Lin Zhilong's men were on the outer perimeter on the third level.
In short, if one side moved first, it would trigger everything.
"Kid, you don't need to use your sharp tongue. You'll know what despair is later," the old man waved his hand, and all the Blood Fiend Gang members placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Their eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous glint.
"Old man, you might have miscalculated this time. Your opponent is not me, but the person behind me. He is the most powerful expert in the Silver Triangle! Unless you have a true God Emperor Realm expert, you will not escape unharmed today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhilong turned his head sharply, signaling them to look at Zhou Xuan.
While confronting them, Zhou Xuan circulated his spatial power, instantly leaving the encirclement and appearing behind Lin Zhilong.
This scene caused someone in the crowd to widen their eyes slightly.
