Kyushu Daoist Master

After rushing out of the dark alley, Yang Ze is now standing in a corridor. The corridor diverges in a circle, forming a huge corridor. It extends to both sides and extends very far. It is not until a dozen feet away that a curve appears. The entire corridor is not very wide, only about three feet wide. After walking a few steps forward, you can reach the edge of the corridor and touch the handrail.

Outside the handrail is a bottomless abyss. Above this abyss, there are platforms suspended one by one.

These platforms are like being pulled by some kind of force. They are irregularly suspended and do not fall into the abyss. Each platform is not big, only about three feet long and wide.

The top is a round top, which has been bulging towards the middle. In the center, at the highest point, there is a black ball hanging there. I don’t know what is inside.

As soon as Yang Ze saw this place, his expression changed a little. In addition to the fact that this place is not simple, he also saw that there are other people in this place.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect, the Great Sun Buddhist Sect, the Taibai Sword Sect, the Zixiao Dao Palace, and the imperial court." Yang Ze's eyes swept around the corridor. In his sight, he saw more than ten people. It turned out that people from various forces had arrived here, and it seemed that they had arrived earlier than them.

Li Yan and others who came out with Yang Ze were also shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. They were even more surprised when they saw that someone had arrived earlier than them.

"Looking at this situation, it seems that it is still a bit disadvantageous for us." Li Yan stood beside Yang Ze. Their four major martial arts academies plus the Tianluo Sect only had eight people in total.

On the other hand, the other four major sects had nine people, one more than them. Looking at the imperial court, there were eight people in total, only two less.

"The two sides add up to as many as seventeen people, but now it seems that they are also opposed to each other, otherwise, we will not be able to take advantage of it this time." Yang Ze said in a deep voice.

"That's right. Judging from the situation, they should have arrived here a little earlier than us, and they didn't find too many. But now that we are here, we don't have to worry about them. If we encounter certain situations, we can just go straight to them." Li Yan's eyes stayed on the eight people in the court most of the time.

Yang Ze followed Li Yan's gaze and saw a young man in blue clothes, holding a folding fan, looking at the people from the four courtyards and five sects, with a look of indifference between his eyebrows.

"Is that person Ji Qingda from the Ji family?" Yang Ze glanced at the young man and asked Li Yan on the side.

"That's right, that person is Ji Qingda, who is now ranked first on the Jiuzhou Body Forging List. He is a descendant of the royal Ji family, and his father is the thirteenth prince of the Tianwu Dynasty." Li Yan explained the information about this person to Yang Ze.

"The son of the thirteenth prince of the Tianwu Dynasty turned out to be a grandson of the emperor." Yang Ze's eyes flashed. This Ji Qingda's identity is prominent, and he is a royal descendant.

"Brother Li, with your strength, what are your chances of winning against Ji Qingda?" Yang Ze asked again.

"What are your chances of winning? I'm afraid I don't even have a 20% chance of winning. Ji Qingda's strength is extraordinary. Don't look at his young appearance. The royal children will be nourished by various resources since childhood. Generally, they will be formally exposed to martial arts at the age of five. Ji Qingda is 29 years old this year. He has been honing in the body-building realm for many years and has long been unfathomable.

If it weren't for Ji Qingda's ambition, he could have been promoted to the fourth-grade unity realm with his strength. I fought with him once two years ago. At that time, Ji Qingda had opened more than 870 meridians in his body. I was not his opponent at all.

Now that two years have passed, Ji Qingda's strength will only be stronger. I'm afraid that the meridians opened in his body have already exceeded 900. Coupled with the rich martial arts of the royal family, I can't compete with him at all." Li Yan shook his head and looked at Ji Qingda with fear.

"Then does Ji Qingda have any record of fighting?"

"Of course he has. A year ago, Ji Qingda had taken action and killed three wanted criminals by the court. These three criminals were all in the middle stage of the Return to One Realm. They joined forces and once killed a warrior in the late stage of the Return to One Realm. Their strength is definitely not weak.

With Ji Qingda's current strength, he can almost suppress the opponent when encountering an ordinary late stage of the Return to One Realm. It is very likely that even if Du Changfeng of the Taibai Sword School and I join forces, we will not be able to deal with him.

I have now opened up and tempered 861 meridians. As far as I know, Du Changfeng has slightly more than me, but not more than 880. If we fight alone, we will definitely lose to Ji Qingda. If we join forces, our chances are not great."

Although Li Yan is the third genius on the Jiuzhou Body Tempering List, he never blindly becomes arrogant when analyzing the situation. He and Du Changfeng have practiced for so long, but they have only reached the level of Ji Qingda two years ago, which made him understand the gap between himself and Ji Qingda.

"No wonder Ji Qingda looks so confident. If you, Brother Li, are not here to support us, it will be extremely difficult for us to stop one enemy. There will be no hope at all this time." Yang Ze said with a smile.

"Brother Yang is too modest. Your strength is not inferior to mine. If we join forces, and add Du Changfeng from Taibai Sword Sect, the three of us will join forces. Even if we cannot defeat Ji Qingda, it is not a problem to fight him to a draw." Li Yan looked at Yang Ze and said confidently.

Yang Ze smiled but did not speak. He knew very well that with his current strength, he would not be able to win against Ji Qingda in nine out of ten cases, but even if he could not win, he should be able to retreat unscathed.

If Li Yan was added, he would have the confidence to defeat Ji Qingda, but Yang Ze was not a person who liked to rely on the power of others to defeat his peers.

For him, the best way to deal with a genius like Ji Qingda was to defeat him by himself. There was no time now. Give him some time to refine the two beast inner pills in the storage bag. He would be able to deal with Ji Qingda.

Li Yan's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention. On the side of the four major sects, a man in white with a long sword on his back and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes came out.

"Li Yan, you are a little slow this time."

"Du Changfeng, it seems that you are not the first to arrive."

"Hahaha, Ji Qingda didn't arrive much earlier than you and me. This time, we can't let him enter the fourth floor first." Du Changfeng didn't avoid Ji Qingda at all and said directly.

"That's natural, but Du Changfeng, you came before us. Have you found the mystery of this third floor?" Li Yan asked.

As soon as he asked this question, Du Changfeng was about to answer, but suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the third floor. The source of the sound was the bottomless abyss.

The people on the circular corridor immediately leaned on the handrails, looking at the bottomless abyss one by one. They could only see darkness and nothing.

But in this dark place, they all felt a strong pressure, as if it was about to burst out, which made them a little frightened.

At this moment, Ji Qingda, who was at the other end of the corridor, looked at the dark abyss, and suddenly a layer of white light appeared in his eyes, tightly wrapping his eyes.

At this moment, Ji Qingda's eyes seemed to contain infinite light, staring at the dark abyss tightly, his eyes suddenly shrank, his hands spread out, and pushed to the sides of his body. A force burst out from his hands, pushing everyone around him and pushing them backwards.

The moment he made this move, all the other people from the four colleges and five sects saw it. Li Yan and Du Changfeng, without even thinking about it, immediately imitated Ji Qingda and pushed the fellow disciples behind them to the back, and they also retreated at the same time.

Yang Ze's reaction was faster. Long before Li Yan and Du Changfeng, he and Zhan Konghao retreated, and the two of them leaned directly against the end of the circular corridor.

Yang Ze's body had just touched the circular corridor, and the next moment he heard a loud rumbling sound. At the bottom of the abyss, a water column spurted out, instantly submerging the third floor.

On the entire third floor, only the circular corridor seemed to be protected by some kind of power, and no water flow rushed in. In other places, nothing could be seen now. The water flow directly hit the top, shocking people.

Yang Ze's forehead was sweating coldly. This water column was really terrible. Fortunately, Ji Qingda's reaction was seen by them, otherwise those of them who were half leaning out of the handrail would be crushed to pieces if they were hit by the water column head-on.

The power contained in this water column is much stronger than theirs.

"This Ji Qingda is really not simple. No one has discovered it, but he was the first to discover it. The royal family's foundation is really strong." Yang Ze dared not be careless again. He really couldn't underestimate the heroes of the world.

The impact of the water column lasted for half an hour before it receded. When the water column disappeared, everyone was shocked again when they saw the scene in front of them.

In addition to the suspended platforms, there were fourteen huge bubbles above the abyss outside the corridor, and each bubble contained a person.

"Peng Lou!" Zhan Konghao saw the largest bubble among the fourteen bubbles at a glance. The person in that bubble was Peng Lou.

The people from other forces also found their fellow disciples. Among them, Ji Qingda from the imperial court jumped up and rushed out of the corridor and landed on a suspended platform.
