I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"This newcomer is really bold!"

All the disciples present had the same thought.

Ji Tian had already shown some restraint and did not hold a grudge against Shen Ming for knocking down his two close disciples.

Shen Ming sought revenge on those who had trespassed on his Xiaoyao Peak territory.

If you leave at this point, no one will object.

Moreover, Gu Qing couldn't let go of her remaining pride and didn't ask him for help.

Shen Ming's provocative words, however, made Ji Tian feel no need to feel inferior.

Having achieved a major breakthrough in three months, is there any need to feel inferior?

However, all these ideas are based on the premise that one of them is Ji Tian.

Ji Tian, ​​the heir of the Ji family.

Those who admire power use this point to judge Shen Ming's actions.

They had to be obsequious to Ji Tian, ​​while Shen Ming remained unyielding—that was unacceptable.

"You will be my enemy!"

Ji Tian felt that his authority had been seriously challenged, and his hostility shifted completely from Gu Qing to Shen Ming.

Shen Ming realized he had touched a nerve and said the wrong thing.

"How old are you this year?" he asked.

"Seventeen."

As if guided by some strange force, Ji Tian answered the question.

"Although you broke through a major realm in three months, you are seventeen years old and at the second level of the Innate Realm, you have great potential," Shen Ming began to reassure him.

"How old are you?" Ji Tian asked, his brows furrowed, uncertain.

"She's not sixteen yet," Shen Ming said.

"You mean you can reach the second level of the Innate Realm before me?"

Ji Tian was still trying to understand his line of thinking, just like Gu Qing had made the three-year promise earlier.

"No, I'm already at the second level of the Innate Realm."

Shen Ming thought to himself, "What's all this about?" He circulated his Limitless True Qi, channeling it through the Xuan Guan Bridge, and it was about to burst forth, causing a gust of wind to sweep around him.

“We are different, there’s no need to compare yourself to me,” he said.

Ji Tian's face was ashen, his pupils burning with rage.

"Xuantian Finger!"

He could no longer contain himself, and with his right hand brimming with unstoppable power, he grabbed at Shen Ming's shoulder.

"With such a mindset, how will you ever embark on your spiritual journey?"

Shen Ming was completely baffled. They were talking so well, why did they suddenly start fighting?

However, he also understands that there are always some unpredictable people in the world.

Some people wake up feeling irritable and unhappy with everyone they meet.

It's okay, a beating will improve someone like that.

"Ancient King Fist!"

Shen Ming sprang up on the spot and delivered a powerful punch with all his might.

The two streams of true energy collided like giant dragons, and the resulting shockwaves created turbulent currents.

The low-altitude airships continuously increased their altitude.

Gu Qing, Fang Qingxue, and their three close disciples could not open their eyes and kept moving backward.

"He's really reached the second level of the Innate Realm?!"

Gu Qing and Fang Qingxue were no longer at peace.

When they heard Shen Ming say that he was at the second level of the Innate Realm, they thought he was provoking Ji Tian.

It wasn't until he clashed head-on with Ji Tianqiang that he realized Shen Ming was serious.

Less than a month after becoming a true disciple, he stepped into the second stage of the Innate Realm!

Fang Qingxue is at the ninth level of the Profound Gate, and she hasn't yet reached the bottleneck of a major realm.

"No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, you have something to back you up! That's perfect, I won't waste my breath on you!"

Ji Tian let loose and stopped holding back.

He reached out with his right arm and grabbed at the sky, and a solid iron spear came whistling from his flying boat and landed steadily in his palm.

Hun Tian Spear, a Heavenly-grade spiritual weapon!

"Shatter mountains and rivers!"

The martial arts he used were also of the Heavenly level; as the heir of the Ji family, all of them were top-notch.

The spear's momentum was powerful and imposing, the solid iron spear sweeping across.

The stone lamp not far away brushed against the spear's edge and immediately shattered into pieces.

Shen Ming's eyes flashed coldly. So you're trying to tear down the house right in front of him?

Wuji·Lingyun!

He drew his sword empty-handed, and the Mingxin Sword was drawn from its sheath in response, appearing in his palm the instant the sword's momentum was formed.

Man and sword become one, perfectly natural.

Ji Tian immediately felt a pressure coming from all directions.

The sharp sword wind tore through his spear stance.

The lethality of this shot is decreasing rapidly.

On the contrary, the enemy's gunfire intensified.

Ji Tian grinned silently, clenching his fists and pressing down heavily, unleashing a terrifying burst of qi.

Tai Xu Gang Qi!

The Ji family's unique skill is to refine their original true energy into a powerful aura comparable to divine weapons.

Legend has it that when one reaches the Emperor Realm, a breath of innate Primordial Void Qi that one exhales resembles a star and can annihilate a region of heavens.

Shen Ming, who came from the Xuan Tian Sect at the Body Tempering Realm, has not yet learned the Jiang family's "Eternal Universe Scripture".

Of course, even if you master it, you can't use it.

His target is the Divine Son of the Xuantian Sect.

From the perspective of the Xuantian Sect, if disciples from aristocratic families compete for the title of Divine Child by relying on their family's unique skills, wouldn't the sect become a vassal?

Jianwang 3 - Fly!

Shen Ming countered each move with his own, unleashing the "Limitless Sword Technique".

The sword in his hand transformed into a dazzling, cold light.

This sword strike, combined with the "Wandering Heaven Steps," showcases a lithe and agile figure, with light and graceful movements, as if the sword and the person themselves have become one.

The man and the sword were like a cold glint of light taking flight, breaking free from the constraints of the ground.

Agile yet deadly, like a ghost, dazzling to the eye.

Ji Tian discovered that his Tai Xu Gang Qi was being gradually diminished, like tofu.

"What kind of primordial true energy is this? Does he have some special physique? Why can he suppress the Primordial Void Qi!"

Ji Tian panicked. The Tai Xu Gang Qi, regardless of its profoundness, was an unstoppable torrent.

When primordial true energy collides, it immediately shatters into pieces.

The Limitless True Qi contained within Shen Ming's sword blade was actually able to contend with it.

Then, with his superb swordsmanship, he gradually suppressed him.

Ji Tian began to exert all his strength, his spear thrusting out like a dragon.

Father, like son.

To outsiders, Ji Tian was already at his last gasp.

Fang Qingxue stood there dumbfounded, so shocked that she couldn't help but swallow hard, her throat moving up and down with a soft gurgling sound.

Among her many true disciples, she chose Ji Tian not only because of his background.

Ji Tian himself possessed extraordinary strength, and was invincible among those of the same realm.

But now, Shen Ming has the upper hand, causing Fang Qingxue, who has always told herself to maintain her icy beauty image, to lose her composure.

The disciples watching the spectacle from the flying boat were incredulous, clutching their heads in disbelief, yet also filled with indescribable excitement.

They did not blindly side with Ji Tian.

They are also happy to see an unknown kid defeat a strong opponent.

Now, they think Shen Ming's initial attitude was reasonable.

With such strength, why would he need to consider Ji Tian's feelings?

They side with whoever is stronger.

Sword IV: Annihilation!

Shen Ming pressed his advantage, unleashing an even stronger sword strike that completely shattered Ji Tian's Tai Xu Qi and mental defenses.

With a clang, the iron spear fell to the ground.

The Mingxin Sword stopped in front of Ji Tian's chest.

Ji Tian opened his mouth, wanting to say something to get back at them, but found that nothing he said would make a difference.

He remained silent, then turned to leave.

"Did I tell you to leave?" Shen Ming called out to him.

Ji Tian turned around angrily. "What more do you want after a sparring match between disciples to determine a winner?"

"You and your men should repair the stone lanterns and the pavilion," Shen Ming said.

Are you kidding me? You come to Xiaoyao Peak and wreak havoc, and you think you can just leave like that?! Stay and be reduced to ashes!
