Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

"Take a good look at how many saints there are here."

“Most of the practitioners who have reached the level of a saint are in the outside world.”

“But those who step into this small world, even the most insignificant ones, are already strong warriors in the early stages of the Dao Guarding Realm. Their strength is simply astonishing.”

"Look at the fluctuations in their auras. Each one is incredibly powerful, no less powerful than Old Man Zhu. There are even a few who, beneath their imposing aura, exude a power that's even more terrifying than Old Man Zhu."

Obviously, the rich spiritual energy of this world and the superior cultivation environment are incomparable to the outside world."

There was an unconcealable excitement in Ying'an's words, which made Xuanzheng feel helpless. Why did he become so excited while talking?

No wonder it costs five hundred precious Holy Stones to enter this place.

After all, this place is home to countless masters and a favorable training environment, so its value is naturally extraordinary.

Setting such a threshold is reasonable and ensures internal order.

As the two stepped into this area, they immediately felt the strong spiritual energy in the air.

Chapter 1399: Another old monster?

Their sudden appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Among the crowd around, there were many powerful men with sharp eyes, casting prying glances at him, either overtly or covertly.

"Haha, this is really interesting, I didn't expect these two brats would dare to set foot here.

Don't you know that Tianwutai is a place where powerful people gather, and it's not a place that you rookies can easily set foot on?"

A sneer rang out among the crowd, carrying a hint of disdain and provocation.

Ying An looked calm, as if the jokes and ridicules around him had nothing to do with him.

His eyes were deep and his expression was calm and composed. He paid no attention to the laughter.

He patted Xuanzheng's shoulder gently, indicating that he didn't need to be too nervous, and spoke in a steady tone.

"Let's go and see what kind of surprises this Tianwu Arena can bring us. I'm also a little curious."

Xuanzheng felt the power transmitted by Ying'an, and the tension in his heart immediately dissipated.

He secretly admired Ying'an's calmness, as if in his eyes, those who laughed at him were just insignificant passers-by.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard slowly walked in front of Ying An, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and mockery.

He seemed to be displeased with Ying'an's attitude, which seemed indifferent but actually implied contempt.

However, Ying An just smiled faintly and didn't pay much attention. He just glanced at the old man and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the old man.

"Young man, you are so arrogant. Do you really think you have reached the highest level and no one can surpass you?"

There was a hint of arrogance in the old man's voice. Although he was in the early stage of guarding the Dao, his understanding of the Dao should not be underestimated.

However, the years had left deep marks on his body, and his energy and blood had declined. Even an old man like Mr. Zhu, who was leisurely and contented, seemed healthier than him.

He stared at Ying An, a hint of contempt in his eyes.

A young man who is only at the peak of Saint level actually dares to come to the Tianwu Arena. It seems that he is a disciple of some sect. In that case, it might not be a bad idea to teach him a lesson!

But Ying An looked at him indifferently, which made him angry and furious.

The old man was proud of his cultivation and wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson to show his authority as an elder.

But looking around, he saw people all around him who were much stronger than him. They either watched indifferently or showed disdain on their faces.

He obviously did not want to get entangled in such trivial matters, and was even less willing to lower his status to argue with the younger generation.

The old man smiled coldly in his heart, then looked at Ying An with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Boy, don't be too crazy!"

Therefore, in this tense situation, there must be someone who dares to provoke a dispute.

And this old guy who looks old but not very strong naturally became the target of public criticism.

Ying An's eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and a meaningful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control.

"What? Old Senior,"

Ying An's voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the surrounding noise.

"Are you willing to fight alongside me and personally verify whether this so-called 'early stage of the Dao Guardian Realm' is truly worthy of its name?

Or are you worried that your old bones can't withstand the repeated temptations of a young man like me?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's face instantly became so gloomy that water seemed to drip from it.

He never expected that this kid would challenge him so directly and mercilessly.

Chapter 1,400: Do you dare to try?

As a strong man in the early stage of the Dao Guarding Realm, when has he ever suffered such an insult?

A surge of anger mixed with shame and indignation surged in his chest, almost bursting through it.

Sensing the aura of Ying An, the old man sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and contempt.

"You have only mediocre cultivation, yet you dare to act so presumptuously in front of me. Do you really think that with your limited ability, you can shake this old bone of mine?"

His words were full of provocation, as if he was mocking Ying An's arrogance.

Ying'an's gaze fell firmly on the Tianwu Stage where a fierce battle had just ended. There were still traces of the battle there, and the air was filled with lingering fighting spirit.

He took a deep breath, stared straight at the old man with a sharp gaze, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.

“The level of cultivation is not the only criterion for measuring courage.

Since the senior has such a refined taste, why should I, Ying An, be afraid? Do you want to give it a try? "

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and the originally noisy atmosphere instantly froze.

The expressions of the people present were also very strange, because this young man actually took the initiative to provoke a fight.

Xuan Zheng's face was distorted with anxiety, and his voice was almost urgent as he shouted again in coordination with Ying An.

"No, big brother! He is not only a well-known strong man in the martial arts world, but also has unfathomable strength. What you are doing is undoubtedly..."

Ying An's eyes were extremely firm. He interrupted Xuan Zheng and raised his hand suddenly, as if a thousand pounds of strength were condensed in his palm.

"Xuan Zheng, I understand your concerns, but a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. This old man is so proud of his status that he keeps provoking me. If I back down today, how can I face my own moral integrity and dignity?

No need to persuade me anymore, just let me meet him and see what this guy who relies on his age to bully others is capable of! "

The old man curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and that smile seemed to hide endless depth and calculation.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of conspiracy succeeding in his voice!

"In that case, then let's do as you say and step onto this Tianwu Arena! However, if there are no stakes, wouldn't fighting be like child's play?"

After saying this, the old man looked around with a sharp gaze and continued.

“Since we are going to fight, let’s make this match more exciting.

If you are interested, you may take out the Holy Stone or treasured treasures as a prize and throw them into this special treasure pool.

Regardless of the outcome, Hancheng will uphold justice and extract a layer of Holy Dao Stone."

Upon hearing this, Ying An's eyes became sharper. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was fixed on the muscular man on the Tianwu stage like a hawk.

He secretly calculated how to maximize his benefits in this contest, so that he could not only reap rich rewards but also avoid being in the spotlight.

However, taking away a layer of Holy Stone made Ying An feel painful in his heart.

However, upon careful consideration, Yan Gang's actions are understandable.

In this world where the strong are respected, to maintain the operation of a huge force, without resource support, how can we talk about loyalty and service?

All of his followers gathered for the sake of benefits and protection.

Seeing that Ying'an's expression became more solemn, there seemed to be thousands of words hidden in his silence.

Taoist Qin thought Ying'an was scared, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen through everything.

"Hmph, young man, I expected you to be short of money.

But today, I, the Taoist Qin, want to challenge you to a duel. Four thousand Holy Dao Stones.

Chapter 1401: The jackpot is dropped and everyone feels the pain!

I want to see if you, a conceited brat, really have the guts to fight me, or if you're just bluffing!"

Although the words were heroic, the Taoist Qin had already made up his mind.

This move of his was both a test and a show-off. After all, his family background was limited to this.

This rare treasure is a must-have artifact for those who have entered the Dao Guarding Realm. Without it, improving one's cultivation level would be like sailing against the current, extremely difficult.

A trace of determination flashed in Ying An's eyes. He waved his hand lightly, and an exquisite storage ring drew a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily in front of everyone.

A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was filled with unquestionable determination.

"A mere four thousand is nothing but a drop in the bucket for me.

Everyone, please watch carefully. Today, I will let you see what I am capable of!"

As he spoke, the burly man easily pulled eight hundred Holy Stones off the stone platform with an understated strength.

After receiving this commission, his voice was low and powerful.

"Now, you still have a chance to escape unscathed, young man. I see that you have extraordinary bones and talent, which is truly rare."

Upon hearing this, Ying'an looked determined and bowed slightly to the strong man, neither humble nor arrogant.

There was unquestionable determination in his voice.

"I appreciate your kindness, Senior. But this person challenged me the moment we met. If I back down, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?"

Although I, Ying An, am young, I know the difference between gratitude and resentment. I will end it all with him today!"

The strong man looked at Ying An's determined eyes and nodded.

It is inconvenient for me to interfere further.

After all, this was a feud between them, and he was just a bystander.

So, he nodded slightly, with a little more indifference in his tone.

"In that case, then go ahead and show us the real deal on stage!"

After saying that, the two figures flashed and stood steadily on the Tianwu Stage. The air around them seemed to freeze.

In the audience below, everyone had complicated expressions, their faces filled with irreparable regret.

Four thousand Holy Dao Stones are a huge piece of fat for many people.

Even if four hundred is deducted, the remaining thirty-six hundred is enough to make people heartbroken.

They talked about it one after another, marveling at the Taoist Qin's sudden good luck. This old man was really lucky!

"Oh, if I had known this, I would have taken action! How could I let this old fox get there first?"

One person beat his chest and stamped his feet, full of regret.

"This kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. He dares to challenge a master in the Dao Guarding Realm at the peak of Saint Realm. It's like hitting a rock with an egg."

The other person's tone was cold and mocking, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.

“But then again, although Taoist Qin seems to be in decline, he actually has hidden secrets and possesses some strange and unpredictable methods.

He is so good at dealing with Saint-level warriors. I'm afraid this kid is going to suffer a great loss."

Someone else analyzed the situation calmly, and his words revealed a hint of sympathy for Ying An.

Hearing the people next to him chattering, Xuan Zheng curled his lips calmly, but he was actually disdainful in his heart.

A strong man of this level is just Tie Mang or Zhu Dao Ren in his elder brother's hands, not to mention the seemingly old guy in front of him.
