BOOM!
Ouyang Cheng unleashed a formidable aura. Boundless Spiritual Qi erupted from his body like a raging river.
In an instant, the young prodigies of the Eighteen Kingdoms all felt an immense pressure!
’This guy is so strong!’
"Ouyang Cheng is truly the Young Sect Leader of the Celestial Moon Sect. To think he possesses such terrifying strength... but we’re no pushovers either."
"Brothers, let’s get him together!"
A dozen or so young prodigies exchanged glances, then transformed into streaks of light, madly charging toward Ouyang Cheng.
They planned to take down Ouyang Cheng together and teach him a lesson.
Qian Yi and Huang Yunan, however, did not make a move.
The two of them were the top prodigies of the Eighteen Kingdoms. They had their own pride, and even if they didn’t submit to Ouyang Cheng, they wouldn’t team up with the others.
"Heh, a bunch of trash, daring to compete with the bright moon!"
Faced with the joint attack from over a dozen young prodigies, Ouyang Cheng was not only fearless but even offered a taunt.
Immediately after, Ouyang Cheng threw out a massive Golden Hand Seal!
"Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Palm!"
The Golden Hand Seal was incomparably heavy, like a mountain falling from the sky to crush the group.
’What a terrifying attack!’
Sensing Ouyang Cheng’s terrifying power, the prodigies’ expressions changed drastically. They hastily formed hand seals and jointly bombarded the Golden Hand Seal.
RUMBLE!
Over a dozen attacks struck the Golden Hand Seal in succession.
However, the Golden Hand Seal didn’t budge an inch.
"How is that possible?"
The prodigies were utterly shocked. Their combined attack was powerful enough to kill an Early Stage Martial Artist, yet it couldn’t even shake Ouyang Cheng’s Golden Hand Seal.
’Could it be that Ouyang Cheng is a Martial Artist-rank expert?’
’But how old is he?’
Ouyang Cheng mocked, "I told you that you were all trash, but you didn’t believe me. Heh, it’s time to end this!"
BANG!
The Golden Hand Seal pressed down, sending all the prodigies flying. They lay on the ground, twitching and vomiting blood.
Ouyang Cheng’s face was filled with disdain.
’This kind of trash dares to call themselves prodigies and attack me?’
’They were just courting humiliation!’
The defeated prodigies wiped the blood from their mouths and glared at Ouyang Cheng with gritted teeth, their hearts filled with indignation.
But there was nothing they could do. Not only could they not beat him, but they had been completely crushed.
It was utterly humiliating.
At this moment, Qian Yi, who had yet to make a move, looked at Huang Yunan beside him and asked in a low voice, "Miss Huang, what do you think?"
"I’m sorry, I’m no match for him."
Huang Yunan shook her head and sighed.
The strength Ouyang Cheng had displayed was too great. She knew she was no match for him; rushing up there would only be courting humiliation.
However, Qian Yi asked, "What if you add me to the equation?"
Huang Yunan’s eyes lit up. "If Brother Qian is willing to help, then I have the confidence to give it a try."
"You two, what are you whispering about so sneakily? Don’t tell me you’re planning to team up against me?"
Ouyang Cheng suddenly looked at the two with a mocking gaze.
’We’ve been discovered?’
"Damn it all!"
Qian Yi shot out like lightning to attack Ouyang Cheng, but Ouyang Cheng was even faster. He appeared in front of Qian Yi and kicked out.
’What!’
Qian Yi’s expression was one of great shock. Just as he was about to defend, he felt a powerful force strike his chest.
BANG!
Qian Yi slammed into the ground like a kite with its string cut, feeling as if every bone in his body was about to break.
"Hmph!"
As Ouyang Cheng attacked Qian Yi, a cold snort came from behind him. Huang Yunan was forming hand seals, striking out with a Desolate Palm Seal.
"Trying to ambush me while my back is turned, are you? Heh. Qiankun Body Protection!"
Ouyang Cheng sneered, and a Protective Golden Light materialized around his body.
BANG!
The Desolate Palm Seal struck Ouyang Cheng’s Protective Golden Light, but the light didn’t even waver as it completely nullified the attack.
Huang Yunan’s expression changed dramatically!
Her Desolate Palm Seal was the ultimate technique of the Desolate Empire’s Royal Family. It was incredibly powerful, yet it had no effect on Ouyang Cheng.
Ouyang Cheng’s defense was too strong.
Ouyang Cheng looked Huang Yunan up and down, then said flippantly, "And a beauty, at that. Heh, if you’re willing to become my Female Slave, I’ll forgive you and even take you into Qu Luo’s Tomb."
"Ouyang Cheng, did you eat shit before you left home? Why is your mouth so full of it?" Huang Yunan furiously rebuked him.
She was a dignified Empress Princess with endless glory and wealth. How could she debase herself by becoming someone’s Female Slave, to be played with at their whim?
If it came to that, she would rather die.
Hm?
Ouyang Cheng raised an eyebrow. "I was taking pity on you by offering to let you be my Female Slave. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for getting rough."
SLAP!
Ouyang Cheng slapped Huang Yunan across the face, sending her flying. He cursed, "Bitch! I gave you an inch and you took a mile, didn’t you!"
"You..."
Huang Yunan’s face was a mask of fury!
The onlookers were also filled with righteous indignation.
Ouyang Cheng had been too heavy-handed.
No matter what, Huang Yunan was still a princess of an Empire. Who would have thought Ouyang Cheng would be so vicious, utterly devoid of any decorum.
However, they were furious but dared not speak out.
One of the prodigies from the Eighteen Kingdoms cried out in anguish, "Ouyang Cheng is too arrogant! He even dares to strike the princess of the Desolate Empire! Is there no one who can teach him a lesson?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
Although none of them could stand Ouyang Cheng, his strength was undeniable, and he even had four Half-Step Martial Monarchs protecting him.
They were truly willing but powerless.
They were willing but powerless.
Even Chu Tianxiong shook his head in secret.
’There’s nothing I can do either!’
Ouyang Cheng looked at Chu Tianxiong. "Sect Leader Chu, have you thought about what I said earlier?"
"This..."
Chu Tianxiong looked troubled.
Their Beast Taming Sect and the Eighteen Kingdoms were located in the desolate borderlands of the Northern Profound Domain. Resources were scarce, making Cultivation incredibly difficult.
Only within Qu Luo’s Tomb were there opportunities to be found.
These opportunities were the only path for the young prodigies of the Eighteen Kingdoms to advance on their Martial Dao. If they were all handed over to Ouyang Cheng, the young prodigies of the Eighteen Kingdoms would lose their future.
’What should I do?’
Seeing Chu Tianxiong’s hesitation, Ouyang Cheng’s eyes narrowed. He said coldly, "I call you Sect Leader Chu out of respect. Without that respect, you, Chu Tianxiong, are less than farts in the eyes of my Celestial Moon Sect. You’d better think carefully before you answer."
Chu Tianxiong secretly gritted his teeth.
He wanted to refuse Ouyang Cheng but feared that Ouyang Cheng would fly into a rage from the humiliation.
Helpless, he could only agree.
"SCREECH!"
Just as Chu Tianxiong was gritting his teeth in frustration, about to agree to Ouyang Cheng’s demand, the shriek of a giant bird suddenly echoed from the distance.
Hearing the sound, the crowd looked over and saw a massive cyan bird flying toward them at high speed.
"Holy shit, that’s a huge bird!"
"Don’t talk nonsense! That’s a Cyan Cloud Sparrow, a Tier Four Demon King! Be careful, or it’ll eat you!"
"Look, there’s someone on the Cyan Cloud Sparrow!"
"Using a Tier Four Demon King as a mount... Who is this person? What an ostentatious display!"
Everyone looked at the Cyan Cloud Sparrow with curiosity.
Even Ouyang Cheng looked toward the Cyan Cloud Sparrow, his brows furrowed tightly.
’This newcomer’s display of prestige is even greater than mine.’
The Desolate Old Monster came to Chu Tianxiong’s side and asked, "Sect Leader Chu, do you know this person?"
"I don’t."
Chu Tianxiong shook his head. "I do recognize that Cyan Cloud Sparrow, though. It’s a Demon King from the vicinity of our Beast Taming Sect. We tried to subdue it several times without success. I never thought someone else would manage to tame it."
