Only My Way

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was at its strongest.

When the golden sunlight shone down, it was enough to make people feel a little irritable.

However.

People didn't mind this little problem.

Tens of thousands of eyes were focused on the arena.

Although the arena was five hundred meters long and wide, Zhang Yue had people activate the formation barrier under the arena to prevent the spectators from suddenly dying.

It was a special formation barrier that could indiscriminately suppress all true energy within its range and forcibly create a semi-transparent protective shield.

If Zhang Yue's Zhang family wasn't a local power in Willow Forest City, and if Zhang Yue wasn't the Zhang family's young master, it would have been difficult for him to activate this formation barrier with just a few words.

After all.

This thing cost money...

Looking at Ling Wuyuan, who was a hundred meters away.

Zhang Yue slowly drew the ornate sword from his waist.

His eyes were filled with ecstasy and a hint of regret:

"To be honest, Ling Wuyuan, I feel that this is not a fair fight..."

"Not just because I'm thirteen years older than you."

"There's also a crucial issue: since receiving the news a few days ago confirming that you had successfully arrived in Yunling Prefecture and were heading this way, I've been looking forward to meeting you."

"During this time, every day I've been adjusting my state to fight you, but you haven't had the chance to prepare for it, which is really unfair..."

As a battle maniac, Zhang Yue felt a little down when he said this.

He felt that this battle had a certain unspeakable flaw, making it difficult for him to be completely satisfied.

One side was fully prepared.

The other side was completely unprepared.

How could it be fair?

Hearing this.

Ling Wuyuan simply waved his hand casually.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all. I can fight anytime, anywhere. Besides, I also want to see how much weight the 'Hall of Fame' actually carries."

Although he himself had been ranked in the list as a filler, he really didn't know how much weight this list carried.

According to his estimation.

The two Crimsonfire Bandits he had casually killed should have been ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Prefecture List.

Although they were just two nobodies, they had been living off bounties for decades. In terms of hard strength and real foundation, they should have their own advantages compared to these young people in the Hall of Fame.

To put it bluntly, all those on the Hall of Fame were under forty years old.

As for those two Crimsonfire Bandits, the time they had successfully advanced to the Qi Nurturing Realm was probably more than just forty years...

Looking at his casual expression.

Zhang Yue shook his head with a wry smile:

"Is that so... Then I'm relieved."

"However, I have to remind you that the main reason I'm currently ranked twenty-second in Yunling Prefecture is that I haven't done much in over a year. I think if I were more active, it shouldn't be difficult to improve my ranking by a few places, so... don't underestimate me..."

After saying that.

The long sword in Zhang Yue's hand pointed straight at Ling Wuyuan!

His eyes also became sharper.

However, Ling Wuyuan slowly drew his long sword and said:

"That's even better."

"The stronger the better..."

At the same moment, watching the two people confronting each other in the distance.

The onlookers in the distance were also talking to each other.

A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes asked someone next to him curiously:

"Dad, how confident do you think Yue'er is of winning?"

The person being asked hesitated for a moment before answering seriously:

"...Hard to say... Doesn't look like high odds."

"That young man named Ling Wuyuan does look a bit unfathomable..."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was immediately surprised:

"Ah?"

"Is he really that strong?"

In the next moment, the other party immediately scolded:

"Nonsense!"

"Both of his only two recorded fights were effortless crushes of multiple opponents of the same level. How could he be weak??"

"Although I said that Yue'er's overall strength in the Qi Nurturing Realm can be considered very strong, that's compared to normal people. Compared to those super geniuses who are rare to see in thousands of years, there is ultimately some difference..."

Speaking of this.

Zhang Yue's vigorous grandfather glared at Zhang Yue's father:

"Of course, my good grandson's talent has an absolute advantage over you, you unfilial son."

"If it weren't for your father, me, having the Nascent Origin Realm strength, and the Zhang family having a thousand-year foundation, you useless thing probably wouldn't have been able to reach the Qi Nurturing Realm in your life..."

"Look at you, you're already over sixty years old, but you can't even beat your own son now. Aren't you ashamed??"

"I'm ashamed for you!!"

His words were full of obvious disgust.

Making Zhang Yue's father only dare to lower his head and look at his toes without saying a word.

It also made the surrounding Zhang family members only pretend that they were looking at the scenery.

The head of the family is petty.

If he caught them almost laughing, he would definitely make them suffer...

But before Zhang Yue's family could discuss anything conclusive.

In the next moment.

Zhang Yue chose to launch an attack first!

It was a rush and a direct stab!

Accompanied by the sudden force of his legs!

The weak couldn't see what happened at all.

They only felt a black line flash by!

In a series of sonic booms, Zhang Yue's figure arrived in front of Ling Wuyuan.

The inertia of his body moving forward and the long sword suddenly thrust out in his hand were like a single entity, concentrating tons of weight on one point!!

Making the long sword in his hand almost as fast as a phantom!!

At this moment.

Even though the many cultivators watching had been mentally prepared, they couldn't react at all.

If they were to face this attack, they would be completely pierced through in an instant!!

However.

Ling Wuyuan was obviously not someone they could compare to!!

Facing the opponent who was rushing towards him at extreme speed, Ling Wuyuan instantly judged that the opponent's true strength was indeed much stronger than the opponents he had encountered before.

At this moment.

He also felt a little excited.

A sharp cry suddenly burst out!

In a trance, countless air currents were spinning wildly at the blade of the long sword in his hand!!

Then, he swung his sword!!

Swinging his sword at extreme speed!!

"Rumble!!!!"

The huge explosion and impact sounds instantly drowned out all the surrounding sounds!!

The sky full of air currents turned the surrounding air into pure white rivers in the extreme speed, violently surging!!

Even across a distance of thousands of meters.

And with the arena's defensive barrier weakening the impact.

All the onlookers still felt the strong wind blowing violently...

Then, although the wind had not stopped, Ling Wuyuan and Zhang Yue's battle was still continuing intensely.

Although the weak could not see what was happening, everyone could hear those terrifying movements!

It was like the huge movement of a city wall collapsing, one after another...

Along with the continuation of those loud noises, the surrounding air currents were being further and forcibly affected!!

Before long.

A pale small vortex appeared in the arena.

The air currents within hundreds of meters around were all surging towards it.

Faced with the rapid loss of air, people with slightly weaker strength even became a little breathless...
