The rogue genius, suppressing his anger, snorted coldly, "Please, Young Master Jin, enlighten me!"
As his voice fell, the true qi on his palm erupted with light, and he pushed his palms forward!
From over ten paces away, a powerful true qi palm print shot through the air.
Thirty paces with a single breath!
This rogue genius's strength, even among mid-stage Qi Refining realm martial artists, was considered considerable.
At the Qi Refining realm, true qi could directly penetrate the body to injure enemies.
Early-stage Qi Refining realm cultivators could generally achieve ten paces with a single breath, mid-stage could reach twenty paces or more, and late-stage could achieve fifty paces or above.
Peak Qi Refining realm experts could even achieve a hundred paces with a single breath, unleashing the Hundred Paces Divine Fist.
Many experts nodded slightly. This rogue genius could achieve thirty paces with a single breath, with little reduction in power, which was quite impressive.
Jin Wudao had previously only been at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining realm, and should not be much stronger than this rogue genius.
It was likely that this battle would turn into a grueling fight.
Just as everyone was thinking this, Jin Wudao suddenly let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with even greater disdain.
He flicked his sleeve and struck, easily neutralizing the powerful true qi palm print, and then retaliated with an even more formidable true qi fist projection.
Bang!
With a muffled sound and a scream, the rogue genius was sent flying out of the battle platform, spitting blood.
Thump.
The moment he landed, the entire audience was stunned.
Tan Tianyang, Huo Wuguang, Wu Jianxin, and the other Ten Young Masters all turned to look.
Jin Wudao, who was previously at the tail end of the Ten Young Masters, at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining realm, how had he become so strong?
That rogue genius was also a mid-stage Qi Refining realm cultivator, yet he couldn't last a single move against Jin Wudao.
"I said you were trash, and you are trash. You didn't believe me!"
Jin Wudao sneered repeatedly.
He raised his chin, acting incredibly arrogant, and scanned the surroundings, saying, "Trash like this doesn't need to come out and embarrass themselves. At the very least, it should be someone of Lv Qingniu's, Mi Xiang's, Hua Xiaolou's, Fu Long's, Hu Feilong's, Liu Jing's level, or the Ten Young Masters, for me to bother with."
"Oh, and where is Lan Junjie of the Lan family? Why don't I see him? Could it be that he knows I'm here to deal with him and is too scared to show his face."
A venomous glint flashed in Jin Wudao's eyes. He harbored deep hatred for the Lan family, especially Ling Fan!
What a pity that Ling Fan, despite his exceptionally high talent in weapon forging, was a cripple, not even qualified to participate in such a genius martial arts大会. Otherwise, it would have been a wonderful thing to brutally kill him on this platform.
But when he looked towards the Lan family's side, he only saw geniuses like Lan Xueyi and Han Qing, but no sign of Lan Junjie.
"Never mind! I'll let him off for now. Besides Lan Xueyi and Lan Junjie, the rest of your Lan family are not worthy of my attention."
Jin Wudao declared with extreme arrogance.
"Jin Wudao, aren't you being too arrogant! Junjie is delayed by some business and hasn't arrived yet. Let me, Han Qing, experience your esteemed skills!"
Han Qing angrily pushed through the crowd.
His cultivation had advanced significantly, and he was brimming with confidence. He could not tolerate Jin Wudao's disdain.
"Oh? I've already let you Lan family trash off, and yet someone dares to seek death! Very well, I shall fulfill your wish. I'll start with you to avenge the expulsion of our Jin family from Jiangnan City!"
A sinister smile flashed across Jin Wudao's lips.
"Arrogant!"
Han Qing snorted coldly, and the true qi on his body erupted, his powerful aura far exceeding the mid-stage Qi Refining realm.
Late-stage Qi Refining realm!
The entire audience was slightly surprised.
They hadn't expected that besides Lan Xueyi and Lan Junjie, the Lan family had such a talent.
"Heh, so it's late-stage Qi Refining realm. No wonder you dare to challenge me! But you are too naive."
Jin Wudao still struck out with a palm, his powerful true qi like a giant wave crashing down upon Han Qing!
Bang!
The collision of their powers immediately produced a muffled thunderous roar on the stage.
Jin Wudao's body remained unmoved, while Han Qing was forced back several steps before he could barely stabilize himself.
So strong!
The entire audience was shocked.
Just how strong had Jin Wudao become now? He could even suppress Han Qing, who was at the late-stage Qi Refining realm.
"Tsk tsk, too weak."
Jin Wudao shook his head and sneered.
A hint of shame and indignation flashed in Han Qing's eyes.
He had boasted to many Lan family members that he would fight for the martial arts tournament championship for the Lan family.
But he never expected to encounter a monstrous opponent like Jin Wudao so early in the tournament.
At the beginning of the martial arts tournament, he had also made a move or two.
But those ordinary geniuses were no match for him. He had only used forty to fifty percent of his strength, and those people were easily crushed by him.
"Falling Leaf Palm Technique!!"
Han Qing gritted his teeth and unleashed his full strength.
Powerful true qi flowed, condensing into countless falling leaves in the air, lifelike. Each leaf was as if carved from emerald, yet it carried an incomparably sharp aura.
Jin Wudao didn't even look. Those true qi falling leaves were repelled by his strong protective true qi as they approached him.
He strode leisurely into Han Qing's attack range, flicked out a palm, directly breaking Han Qing's arm, and then delivered a powerful slap to Han Qing's left cheek.
Slap!
Under the shocked gaze of the entire audience, Han Qing was directly slapped flying by Jin Wudao, falling heavily below the battle platform.
The crowd erupted.
When had Jin Wudao become so strong?
That Han Qing was not a weakling, with his late-stage Qi Refining realm cultivation, capable of at least sixty paces with a single breath, yet he was sent flying in such a humiliating manner, by being slapped...
From the Jin family's side, deafening cheers erupted!
The frustration from being swept out of Jiangnan City by Ling Fan during the weapon forging competition was completely dispelled.
"Haha, Young Master is mighty, Young Master is invincible!"
"Heh heh, what kind of bullshit Lan family geniuses, all a bunch of incompetent fools, just like that Ling Fan!"
"They dare to compare themselves to our Young Master? Bah, being slapped by our Young Master is already an honor for them."
Harsh words were spoken, and the faces of everyone on the Lan family side turned extremely grim. Lan Tianxiong, Lan Xueyi, and others wore heavy expressions.
Many young disciples of the Lan family clenched their fists, filled with anger.
Han Qing lay on the ground in a daze, his face covered in dust, his left cheek swollen high.
He wished he could find a hole to crawl into right now.
How could he have uttered such bold words earlier, and even fantasized about comparing himself with Ling Fan after winning the martial arts tournament...
But who knew he would be defeated so miserably now!
Ling Fan was still Ling Fan, that highly respected Yellow-tier weapon forging genius, while he had suffered a crushing defeat in the martial arts tournament, even disgracing the Lan family...
He glanced subtly towards the Lan family's direction.
Fortunately, Ling Fan had not come...
