Although Master Fahai's reputation was widespread, no one had ever seen him make a move, nor had anyone witnessed his true power.
In comparison, the 'Human Cat' who struck fear into the Jianghu was naturally more terrifying!
However, today's battle completely overturned their perceptions!
Even when facing a top-tier expert like Han Diaosi, whose strength was unfathomable,
Master Fahai could still contend with him, and even had a slight advantage!
Master Fahai was indeed the top of both rankings, a rare Prodigy in a hundred years!
"Nan Bei, I didn't see wrong, did I?"
Dong Xi rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Master Fahai actually forced Han Shengxuan to retreat!"
Nan Bei shook his head and sighed softly: "You didn't see wrong, it's true."
Senior Brother Fahai is truly too strong!
Wu Nan Bei genuinely admired Master Fahai's strength.
Especially that Physical Body.
He even had a strange feeling—Master Fahai's Physical Body strength seemed to be approaching that of his own Master.
His Master was precisely the renowned Baiyi Sengren (White-Clothed Monk), Li Dangxin!
A Great Vajra Body, rare in Buddhism! When Li Dangxin entered the Heavenly Human Realm back then,
it wasn't that his Realm naturally matured, but rather his Physical Body entered the ranks of Heavenly Human first! Achieving an indestructible Vajra Body!
He forged one hundred and eight Vajra Seals all the way!
In terms of the strongest Physical Body in the world, Li Dangxin was absolutely among them!
Now, the Qi emanating from Master Fahai was remarkably similar to Wu Nan Bei's Master.
That incredibly powerful Physical Body strength!
In his opinion, Master Fahai was only unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with his Master because his Cultivation Technique was still shallow.
His Physical Body strength had reached such a Realm, his physique's intensity was almost on par with his Master! This level of strength was enough to shock people!
Nan Bei looked at the faint golden glow appearing on Master Fahai's body, his face full of disbelief, and murmured in a low voice: "This is simply impossible."
It wasn't just them; even Xu Weixiong's eyes were filled with astonishment at this moment.
The expression on her face had quietly changed from initial worry to shock.
As the calmest and most composed of the King of Northern Liang's four children, at this moment, Xu Weixiong also found it hard to conceal the tremor in her heart.
This was the renowned Master Fahai?
No wonder he topped the power ranking!
Xu Weixiong had once studied at Shangyin Academy.
That academy gathered countless scions of aristocratic families and heaven-blessed Prodigies from all over Liyang.
She had seen quite a few outstanding individuals.
But compared to Master Fahai, those people were like the light of fireflies, utterly unable to compete with the bright moon! Even 'Little Man Butcher' Chen Zhibao, who was renowned among Northern Liang's three hundred thousand iron cavalry, was far inferior to Master Fahai!
With just the Grandmaster Realm, he dared to confront the 'Human Cat' Han Shengxuan head-on; this strength already far surpassed many Prodigies!
Xu Weixiong was inherently indifferent, born into a princely manor, with a strategic mind, exceptional intelligence, and outstanding talent.
She excelled in every aspect.
Precisely because of this, no one among her peers had ever caught her eye.
Even many older generation experts were difficult for her to regard highly.
She had once drunk green ant wine with Xu Fengnian, evaluating the heroes of the world.
However, in her eyes, the heroes of the world were all insignificant, except for Master Fahai.
Whether in the Dao of chess, the Martial Dao, or talent, Master Fahai completely surpassed Xu Weixiong.
This was the first time she had felt admiration for a man, a man of her own age.
Just as everyone was focused on the battle, elsewhere.
A Baiyi Sengren (White-Clothed Monk) was also intently watching the scene before him.
This Baiyi Sengren (White-Clothed Monk) was precisely Li Dangxin, who had been secretly protecting his daughter and Disciple all along.
Seeing the 'Human Cat' Han Shengxuan personally make a move against Master Fahai, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.
Could this legendary Prodigy withstand Han Shengxuan?
In Li Dangxin's view, although Master Fahai was extraordinary, Han Shengxuan was already a Heavenly Human of the Third Realm, and the Realm gap was simply too great to overcome! Master Fahai would likely find it hard to resist.
Recalling Master Fahai's care for his daughter along the way, Li Dangxin pondered that if he fell into a dangerous situation, he might have to intervene.
Considering it as thanks for his care of Dong Xi and Nan Bei along the way.
But before he could act, Master Fahai had already engaged Han Shengxuan head-on with the Realm of a Grandmaster of the Sixth Rank! Even among Heavenly Humans, there were distinctions of superiority and inferiority.
Although Han Shengxuan was also a Heavenly Human, he had already entered the Third Realm, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced was sinister and strange.
He could easily kill ordinary Heavenly Humans of the First or Second Realm, and even some Third Realm experts might not be his match! What's more, Master Fahai was only a Grandmaster of the Sixth Rank.
However, this battle completely overturned the perceptions of countless people!
The renowned 'Human Cat' Han Diaosi was repeatedly at a disadvantage against a Grandmaster of the Sixth Rank.
This scene, unbeknownst to many, made their jaws drop!
The gap between a Heavenly Human of the Third Realm and a Grandmaster of the Sixth Rank was like an unbridgeable abyss!
Yet, Master Fahai was able to cross this boundary, causing Han Shengxuan to suffer losses in front of him.
Truly worthy of being the number one on the world-renowned heavenly pride ranking, the top existence among Prodigies.
However, relying solely on this point was probably far from enough.
Li Dangxin's brows were tightly furrowed, a hint of worry showing in his expression.
The power of a Heavenly Human far exceeded ordinary people's imagination!
Moreover, how could a Heavenly Human like Han Shengxuan, who had reached the Third Realm, not have trump cards?
As one of the strongest individuals within Liyang, Li Dangxin also had a certain understanding of Han Diaosi.
Han Shengxuan's ability to gain the trust of the Liyang imperial family, manage the palace, and become famous in the Martial Forest naturally stemmed from his exceptional qualities.
How could he merely be an ordinary Heavenly Human?
Although on the surface, Master Fahai had seized the initiative, Han Shengxuan's true reserves had not yet been fully displayed.
Once he truly made a move, Master Fahai might not necessarily be able to maintain his advantage.
Master Fahai was aware that there was still a gap between himself and a Heavenly Human.
So he chose to launch an offensive first, intending to control the rhythm of the entire battle!
The Golden Body of the Buddha emitted ten thousand rays of Buddha light, and a sacred and solemn Qi surged forth! The Rulai Divine Palm descended from high in the sky, carrying boundless might!
Immediately following was a continuous barrage of attacks, like a violent storm, instantly engulfing Han Shengxuan completely! Although Han Shengxuan remained on the defensive and did not actively counterattack.
But upon closer inspection, one would notice that despite being consistently passive, his expression remained calm and composed, and he showed no signs of error in the face of the surging attacks.
Meaning that everything was still under his control!
Even on the defensive, the strength of a Heavenly Human was still not to be underestimated.
...
Han Shengxuan waved his long sleeve, effortlessly deflecting the golden fist print to one side.
"Master Fahai, this old man must admit, you truly deserve the title of the top Prodigy on the heavenly pride ranking."
"In this life, this old man has seen and killed countless Prodigies, and among them, you are the strongest!"
"Not only is your combat power astonishing, but your Physical Body strength also reminds this old man of a monk."
"This kind of world-shaking Physical Body, this old man has only seen on a very few individuals in his life."
"If you were at the same Realm as them, perhaps this old man would also be wary."
"Unfortunately, you are not a Heavenly Human."
"Your appearance reminds this old man of that Baiyi Sengren (White-Clothed Monk), Li Dangxin."
"It's a pity, though similar, you ultimately failed to reach his Realm."
"So, stop struggling in vain!"
"Below the Heavenly Human, all are ants!"
"Even if you forcefully elevate yourself to a Grandmaster of the Ninth Rank, how can this chasm of a Realm be so easily crossed?"
As soon as his voice fell, Han Diaosi suddenly turned and flicked his sleeve, and in an instant, three thousand red threads burst forth, covering the sky and obscuring the sun!
As if capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, they swept across all directions! The vast expanse of the sky was completely covered by red lines!
Three thousand red threads poured down, like a blood-colored rain curtain descending from the sky!
Each red thread was enough to kill a Heavenly Human of the First Realm! And there were as many as three thousand such deadly threads!
Three thousand red threads intertwined, carrying a destructive killing intent, sweeping across everything.
