Endless Ascension

Chapter 46:, The Excitement Has Just Begun

Qin Feng walked off the arena. Qin Zhantian's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he did not criticize anything.

However, several elders were discussing among themselves. The words were all accusations. To admit defeat before even fighting made them feel that Qin Feng had lost face for the Qin Family, and it was in front of the entire city.

They all knew that Qin Feng's chance of winning was zero, but they couldn't accept the situation of a Qin Family disciple admitting defeat and surrendering.

The reproaches gradually grew louder. Qin Zhantian coughed heavily, and only then did the surroundings gradually quiet down.

At this time, Qin Kuang, who had been silent all along, turned his old face sideways and shouted angrily, "Admitting defeat before even fighting. You have completely disgraced the Qin Family."

As soon as Qin Kuang spoke, several elders around him also chimed in with low voices, not even looking at Qin Zhantian's stern expression.

They had no regard for the dignity and face of the family head.

Qin Zhantian was already angry in his heart, but he dared not explode. Only the corner of his eye twitched slightly, and a cold glint flashed. Immediately, he said, "Qin Feng, the men of the Qin Family only die in battle and never admit defeat and surrender. In view of your performance today, you will be punished to reflect at the back mountain cliff for three years. Do you have any objections?"

Reflect at the back mountain cliff for three years?

The back mountain cliff was where the Qin Family imprisoned criminals. The environment was extremely harsh. It would be a miracle to survive for three years. Imprisoning Qin Feng there was undoubtedly sending him to his death.

Qin Feng remained expressionless, but his heart was bleeding. He nodded and said, "The disciple is willing to accept the punishment."

"Patriarch, the punishment is too severe, isn't it?"

Qin Ze couldn't stand it. The outcome of Qin Feng's battle against Xiao Rufeng was something anyone could imagine. The elders of the Qin Family actually disregarded Qin Feng's excellent talent and criticized. Not only that, for the sake of the elders' faces, Qin Zhantian actually imposed such a severe punishment.

He sneered inwardly. The Qin Family was truly completely rotten.

As Qin Ze said this lightly, before Qin Zhantian could speak, Qin Kuang on the side shouted angrily again, "When did it become your turn to speak in the Qin Family?"

His two sword-like eyebrows rose, and anger filled him. A strong killing intent burst out from Qin Kuang. It seemed that if Qin Ze said one more word, he would strike and kill.

"Enough!"

Qin Zhantian said calmly. The killing intent emitted by Qin Kuang immediately sank into a quagmire and slowly dissipated until it vanished.

The momentum of the Gang Tempering Realm was far stronger than the peak of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

Qin Feng turned his head to look at Qin Ze. There was gratitude in his eyes, and he showed a shallow smile.

Qin Kuang suddenly said, "Anyone who admits defeat and surrenders again will have their Qigongabolish and be expelled from the Qin Family."

This was clearly said for Qin Ze to hear, completely cutting off his retreat. They all saw the hatred in Xiao Rufeng's eyes. Naturally, they knew that Qin Ze and he would fight to the death.

Qin Ze was only at the fourth level of the Spirit Moving Realm, while Xiao Rufeng had been at the sixth level of the Spirit Moving Realm for more than half a year.

No matter what, Qin Ze wouldn't be Xiao Rufeng's opponent.

It would be best if Qin Ze died. Qin Kuang wouldn't need to do it himself. If Qin Ze surrendered on the battlefield, he would strike without hesitation.

All of this, Qin Ze naturally knew the severity in his heart.

If it weren't for Qin Zhantian being able tocheck and balance""counterbalance Qin Kuang and Qin Xiangtian to some extent, he might very well die at their hands. However, in his heart, the two of them were doomed to die.

Regarding Qin Kuang's warning, Qin Zhantian didn't say a word or even make a sound, but his expression changed.

After the fifth round, six people remained.

Except for Xiao Rufeng, the rest were all from the four major families.

The sixth round began quickly. Qin Ze, Xiao Rufeng, and Zhao Kong did not encounter each other.

The opponents of Qin Ze and Xiao Rufeng both very cooperatively admitted defeat as soon as they stepped onto the stage. Only Zhao Kong went through a fierce battle before entering the final round.

Zhao Kong's performance in the sixth round was very difficult. It seemed that he entered the final round with a bit of luck. He also suffered various minor injuries on his body.

The only thing was that there was no change in expression on his face.

In the seventh round, there were only the three of them. Qin Ze's target was Xiao Rufeng, but he had to be on guard against Zhao Kong's playing possum. Judging from his acting skills, it wasn't simple. He also kept an extra eye in his heart.

Zhao Kong was called the dark horse. This was his first time representing the Zhao Family in the Family Invitational Tournament. There had never been any mention of such a person before.

It could be seen that Zhao Wudi had hidden him deeply enough.

In the seventh round, there were only three people. One person would inevitably have a bye. There were three notes in the box. If one drew a blank note, they would directly have a bye and advance to the next round. And the first person to draw the note was Zhao Kong.

After drawing it, he handed it to the referee. The referee opened the note. It was blank.

"Bye."

"Such good luck."

At this time, Qin Ze was even more certain that Zhao Kong's strength was definitely not simple. Looking at his calm appearance, he secretly guessed that his strength would not be weaker than Xiao Rufeng.

It seemed that the Zhao Family originally intended to use him against Xiao Rufeng, but only because of his appearance did they make a temporary change.

Wanted to be the oriole? Qin Ze sneered inwardly, "You want to be the oriole? Sorry, I'm the hunter."

Since Zhao Kong had a bye, Qin Ze and Xiao Rufeng naturally didn't need to draw again. Xiao Rufeng couldn't wait to step onto the arena and stared directly at Qin Ze, full of disdain.

Qin Ze walked towards the arena unhurriedly. The two of them made eye contact. Xiao Rufeng said coldly, "Five years ago, you defeated me here. Five years later, I will kill you here to prove to the world that I am the number one genius in Qinghe City."

"Five years ago, you lost. I gave you a chance to start anew, but you didn't want it. Since you don't want to be a human, then become a ghost." Qin Ze snorted coldly and retorted.

Before they even started fighting, the hatred sparked. The square immediately quieted down. The competition for the number one genius in Qinghe City would be decided today.

Five years ago, it was Qin Ze. In these five years, it was Xiao Rufeng. And today, the winner will be determined.

Everyone was looking forward to who would be the owner of the title of the number one genius in Qinghe City.

On the arena, the fighting spirit soared.

The humming sound of the long sword beside Xiao Rufeng spread in loops. For some disciples with low cultivation levels, it was like thunder in their eardrums, unbearable. They kept retreating.

The powerful pressure was released. That kind of pressure was twice as strong as the one released on the street last time. It was like the surging sea, sweeping in.

The turbulent and churning pressure was like a sharp sword penetrating the clouds, directly attacking Qin Ze. Strong winds rose in the air. The arena was like covered with dark clouds, and the atmosphere was very depressed.

"Another pressure!"

Qin Ze sneered coldly. The Dragon-Elephant Void Scripture in his body suddenly activated. Facing the powerful pressure released by Xiao Rufeng, he was relaxed and at ease. There was a faint smile on his face, with contempt and disdain in the smile.

"Some progress."

Xiao Rufeng shouted coldly, and the pressure suddenly increased sharply. The long sword suspended in the air beside him trembled rapidly, and then made a 'creaking' sound, shooting through and directly aiming at Qin Ze's vital point...

At the sixth level of the Spirit Moving Realm, with deep Qigong, the formed pressure was like a sharp spear, extremely sharp. After the pressure, the sharp sword shot through, and the speed was as fast as lightning.

Qin Ze pushed out with one hand. Suddenly, strong winds blew around his body. The strong winds continued to intensify around him, forming a small whirlwind. Then, he took a step forward, and the whirlwind quickly shot out...

Substantial energy from pressure?

Impossible. Qin Ze was only at the fourth level of the Spirit Moving Realm. How could his Qigong be so deep?

Xiao Rufeng couldn't believe it. He shouted angrily and charged out at the same time!

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of dull impact sounds came from the arena...
