Chapter 495: Chapter 351: Who Else?
Holy shit!
Wang Hou was stunned and quickly sent a message to Xu Yang, “What are you up to?”
“I haven’t finished negotiating yet…if you challenge now, even a Land Immortal can take action. I know you can harness the power of Mount Tai, but as far as I know, even with the Taishan Divine Power, you can only unleash the power of a Land Immortal at most…”
“No problem.”
Xu Yang smiled and replied, “Minister Wang, don’t worry, I have confidence… All right, you can go down first. I still have to go to sleep after I finish.”
Wang Hou half-believed and half-doubted, then stepped off the arena.
Not only Wang Hou.
Xu Zhiyuan, Supreme Sage Taixu, all sent messages to inquire, but Xu Yang just reassured them.
Around them, it was dead silent.
Various martial arts heroes seemed to be shocked by Xu Yang. For a while, they just stared at Xu Yang, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the stage, unable to come back to their senses.
As for Xu Yang.
He felt sleepy, constantly hitting him, making it very hard for him to even lift his eyelids. So, he shouted again, “Everyone… fight or not? If no one fights, then I will be the Alliance Leader… All right, I’m going back to sleep!”
As he spoke, he controlled his wheelchair, did a drift in place, and was about to leave.
“Hold on!”
Below the stage, the ancestor of the Fufeng Ma Clan spoke with a deep voice, asking, “Celestial Master Xu, are you serious?”
Wave after wave of sleepiness hit Xu Yang, causing irritation in his heart.
He glanced at the old ancestor, displeased, “Elder Ma, today’s Martial Arts Conference is a grand event in the martial world. Heroes from all walks of life gather here. Do you think I’m just toying with everyone?”
The eyebrows of Patriarch Ma raised.
First, he was scolded by Wang Hou pointing at his nose.
Now he was criticized by a junior like Xu Yang. If it weren’t for Xu Yang being a Heavenly Master of the Daoist sect, he would have slapped him directly.
Barely suppressing his anger, Patriarch Ma forced a smile, “Celestial Master Xu, as a Heavenly Master of the Daoist sect, you have a noble status and strong strength. It’s natural for you to have the qualifications to compete for the position of the Alliance Leader of the Martial Arts.”
“However, I see that you have a weak aura and disordered qi, which seems to be due to a serious injury… In such a state, I’m afraid it’s difficult to make a move. Why not go back and heal first, and wait until the next Martial Arts Conference to compete for the position of the Alliance Leader?”
“What?”
Xu Yang became increasingly irritated and retorted, “Are you afraid I’ll kill you?”
“You!”
Patriarch Ma grew angry but laughed, coldly saying, “Celestial Master Xu, the competition on the stage is a fair test, with punches and kicks having no eyes. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Xu Yang said indifferently, “Elder Ma, rest assured, if I die on this stage today, it will only be because of my bad luck.”
Patriarch Ma, “Well…”
“What the fuck?”
Xu Yang felt that he was about to fall asleep and immediately raised his voice, angrily shouted, “Damn… Infinite Heavenly Venerate, Elder Ma, are you going to fight or not?”
Puff!
This shout was too loud and even affected his injury.
After a mouthful of blood spurted out, Xu Yang’s body seemed to have weakened a lot, and he couldn’t even lift his eyelids anymore.
A few family ancestors exchanged glances, communicating instantly. Patriarch Ma looked at the current Ma Clan leader and said, “Baoguo, you give it a try… Remember, Celestial Master Xu is injured, don’t hurt him any further.”
While saying this, he secretly transmitted a message, coldly saying, “If you have a chance…get rid of him!”
These old ancestors were very wary of Xu Yang.
They were wary of the Jingming Ancestral Master behind Xu Yang.
However, on the stage, it was a fair competition, with punches and kicks having no eyes… it was reasonable for someone to die.
The current leader of the Ma Clan, Ma Baoguo, stood up and leaped onto the stage.
He was 13 meters away from Xu Yang, and he saluted Xu Yang with his fists.
After that, his aura began to rapidly rise.
In almost the blink of an eye, he erupted with the momentum of a Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm peak!
Between faint traces, the power of heaven and earth around Ma Baoguo seemed to be mobilized, and his whole person seemed to become one with heaven and earth… which indicated that he was not far from the “Heaven and Earth Borrowing Method” in the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!
Ma Baoguo said, “I am the current head of the Fufeng Ma Clan, Ma Baoguo. My most proficient skill is my unique Lightning Five Consecutive Legs… In front of Celestial Master Xu, I dare not hold back… Excuse me!”
Boom!
Ma Baoguo took fierce action, stomping on the stage, breaking through it. His entire body was already airborne, kicking wildly in the void, leaving countless afterimages, and stepping towards Xu Yang!
Of course.
This “wild stomping” was just a visual effect.
How could Ma Baoguo stand out in a worldly family like the Ma Clan and sit in the position of the clan leader without any abilities?
His Lightning Five Consecutive Legs were famous in the martial world, not an empty title!
In his wheelchair.
Xu Yang remained motionless, like Mount Tai.
He lifted his arm and flicked his finger…
Plop!
An invisible force spread out, colliding with Ma Baoguo’s move, “Lightning Five Consecutive Legs.”
With two crisp cracks, Ma Baoguo’s legs were instantly shattered, and he was sent flying like a cannonball. If it weren’t for the quick reaction of the Ma Clan ancestor to catch him…
He would probably have been sent flying off the cliff.
On the wheelchair, Xu Yang’s face was pale, and he couldn’t help but cover his chest.
That strike just now, though entirely relying on the “Taishan Divine Power”, placed a bit of burden on his body, which made his already unexceptional “physique” even worse.
He coughed a few times, and traces of blood emerged from the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t help but praise, “What an impressive leg technique, Lightning Five Consecutive Legs… truly lives up to its reputation!”
Ma Baoguo, whose legs had already been crippled, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this. His eyes rolled, and he fainted in anger.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang asked, “Who else?”
The surroundings of the arena once again fell into silence.
About three seconds later, a huge uproar erupted.
“What…what’s going on?”
“Celestial Master Xu is so severely injured, yet he broke Ma Clan Leader’s Lightning Five Consecutive Legs with just a flick of his finger… Could Lightning Five Consecutive Legs merely be an empty name? Just a fancy trick?”
“Nonsense, Lightning Five Consecutive Legs is Ma Clan Leader’s famous unique skill, so how could it be just a fancy trick? In my opinion, it must be Celestial Master Xu playing possum. He wasn’t injured at all!”
“No, no, something’s not right!”
An old martial arts Grandmaster shook his head, saying, “Your cultivation levels are too weak, and your vision is too poor. However, I saw it clearly… just now, when Celestial Master Xu flicked his finger, he didn’t use any magic power, and there wasn’t even a trace of Dao charm emanating from his body. How could such terrifying power come from it?”
“To break Ma Clan Leader’s Lightning Five Consecutive Legs with one strike and shatter both of his legs… I’m afraid only someone in the realm of Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon could do it!”
A young martial arts Grandmaster sneered, “You old man, you’re just talking nonsense… Celestial Master Xu is in the Daoist Divine Transcendence Realm, and although he does have some martial arts accomplishments, it seems like he’s only in the Grandmaster Realm… How could he have the power of the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!”
The old Grandmaster puffed up his beard and glared, “I was just making a comparison, why must you be so literal?”
These ordinary martial artists, as well as the martial arts Grandmasters and Martial Arts Heavenly Beings…
Their strength was limited, and they couldn’t see the technique Xu Yang used just now when flicking his finger. However, these techniques couldn’t deceive the various old patriarchs.
“Geomantic omen… Taishan Divine Power!”
Patriarch Ma whispered and turned to look at Master Taixu.
Daoist Taixu had already anticipated this outcome, knowing that once Xu Yang made his move, he wouldn’t be able to deceive those old patriarchs. However, he wasn’t afraid, ignoring the murderous gazes cast by several patriarchs, and pretending to chat with Xu Zhiyuan.
Seeing that Master Taixu was ignoring him, Patriarch Ma turned his gaze back to Xu Yang and coldly said, “Celestial Master Xu, what a brilliant move… Using Taishan Divine Power to enhance yourself may allow you to win, but how can you convince the martial world?”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Next month, I will only be 23 years old, and I have only practiced for… a few years.”
He had wanted to say “a few months”, but fearing that the people present wouldn’t believe him, he changed it to “a few years” and said lightly, “In just a few years, I’ve reached the pinnacle of Divine Transcendence Realm and cultivated martial arts as well, making some small achievements in the field… If anyone still doesn’t accept this, then come and fight!”
“Good!”
Patriarch Ma said this heavily.
He called over a disciple from the Ma Clan and handed the severely injured Ma Baoguo to him, instructing, “Take Clan Leader Ma down the mountain swiftly and find the best hospital in the country… Remember, no matter the cost, you must save his legs.”
On the stage, Xu Yang said, “Senior Ma, don’t waste your time… Clan Leader Ma’s legs were crippled by my Taishan Divine Power. If you can’t expel the Taishan Divine Power, even if you reconnect the bones, they will shatter again!”
“Xu Yang, as a Heavenly Master of the Daoist Sect, I never expected you to be so ruthless!”
Patriarch Ma had a hot temper and couldn’t hold it back any longer. He leaped onto the stage with a single bound and said angrily, “Celestial Master Xu, I would like to experience your Taishan Divine Power for myself… Are you willing to accept my challenge?”
“Xu Yang, be careful!”
Seeing Patriarch Ma entering the stage, Wang Hou, Xu Zhiyuan, and Supreme Sage Taixu sent their voices to Xu Yang at the same time.
However, Xu Yang just smiled and said, “I’ve been hoping for this.”
Given Patriarch Ma’s temper, he should have attacked directly, but considering the “existence” behind Xu Yang, he could only clench his teeth and say, “Fighting in the arena, fists and feet have no eyes… What if I accidentally kill Celestial Master Xu?”
Xu Yang angrily exclaimed, “Dammit, if you want to fight, just fight. You’re several hundred years old now… Why are you causing so much trouble? If you manage to kill me, that would be a testament to your great power… Infinite Heavenly Venerate!”
“Good!”
Patriarch Ma took a fierce move, clearly revealing the realm of a Land Immortal.
Boom!
His aura erupted, causing some of the martial artists who were slightly weaker in cultivation and closer to the arena to be pushed back several steps by the aftermath of his aura explosion!
His wrist flipped.
A long knife appeared in his hand.
With a single step, he transformed into an afterimage and appeared in front of Xu Yang, slashing down with the knife.
This slash appeared ordinary and without any extravagance.
However, the terrifying power it contained could split mountains and rivers.
Facing this sword, Xu Yang lightly waved his hand.
Hum!
The enormous Taishan Divine Power was directly activated.
For a moment, it seemed as if the entire Mount Tai was trembling.
Within the Mount Tai area, every plant and tree, even the wind and the mist in the mountains, experienced an inexplicable… indescribable change!
Patriarch Ma’s slash came to a complete stop at a distance of three centimeters from Xu Yang’s forehead. No matter how hard he tried, he could not cut any further.
A trace of horror appeared on Patriarch Ma’s face.
Xu Yang smiled.
He flicked his finger.
Crack.
The knife in Patriarch Ma’s hand broke apart.
Xu Yang waved his hand lightly.
Whoosh!
The broken knife turned around and directly pierced into Patriarch Ma’s chest.
Xu Yang waved his hand, dispersing the Taishan Divine Power.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his gaze sweeping over the entire assembly, and said indifferently, “Who else?”
