Chapter 1163: Establishing Might with a Single Punch

Translator: 549690339

” Hahaha, everyone, you all heard that. Young Master Chan wants to compete with me here. 1 didn’t force him to do this. He wants to bet with me!””Qu Linggui laughed out loud as he looked around and said loudly. When he glanced at Xia Ping ‘an, a hint of malevolence appeared in his eyes, but he still had a hypocritical look on his face.” Dragon Rearing Cicada, you were the one who suggested this bet. I didn’t force you. In front of everyone, what if I accidentally hurt you with one punch? You won’t go around saying that the Qu elders are bullying the weak, right? If you want to use this method to ruin my reputation, you’ll have to go back to the Qu family.” Don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Xia Ping ‘an looked at Qu Linggui with a hint of disdain.” You and I will be responsible for our own lives. If you can kill me with a single punch, that’s your ability. On the other hand, if you can’t withstand it, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

“What a joke. A junior who just advanced to Rank Seven and fought to the death with Du Yunji, and after entering the Flood Dragon God Cave, he managed to ignite a wisp of divine flame. Back then, when 1 defeated a Rank Four Supreme God, you weren’t even born yet!”

A surging battle intent surged from Qu Linggui’s body. He had already made up his mind. Divine halos began to appear behind his head, and nine of them appeared. With the appearance of the Divine Halo, the void around him began to emit powerful dense flames, as if it was on fire. The surrounding experts saw that Qu Linggui was ready to attack, and many of them took a few steps back, leaving the widest space in the middle of the hall. In order to avoid being implicated, many people could already tell that Qu Linggui’s performance was already filled with killing intent. Even if he couldn’t kill the Dragon Rearing Cicada with a single punch, he would at least heavily injure it so that it wouldn’t have the chance to continue.

“Old Ghost Qu, don’t be so despicable. Do you think others can’t see why you’re targeting a junior like Dragon Rearing Cicada? As an ancient god bloodline family, you’re deliberately finding a reason to suppress the younger generation experts of the Dragon Rearing Family in order for the Qu family to continue to dominate. Such thoughts are too despicable. The reason why the ancient god bloodline families in the Spirit Wilderness Mystic Realm can’t dominate the Mystic Realm is that there are too many despicable people like you, making it impossible for the ancient god bloodline families to unite. You’re capable. I don’t believe that you’ll still dare to be so arrogant when he lights up another wisp of divine flame…” Tong Yemu immediately cursed.

Xia Ping ‘an looked deeply at Tong Yemu. Tong Yemu had finally revealed why Qu Linggui was targeting him. In fact, Xia Ping’ an had initially thought that Qu Linggui was targeting him because of Xiqing’s incident. However, after interacting with Qu Linggui, he realized that Qu Linggui’s malice and killing intent towards him had completely surpassed the influence of the dispute between Xiqing and the disciples of the Qu Family. Xia Ping ‘an then realized that there was a deeper reason why Qu Linggui wanted to kill him. It was a fight for the family’s interests.

After he defeated Du Yunji, the reputation of the Dragon Rearing family had skyrocketed and had a huge impact. Qu Linggui was helping the Qu family to eliminate potential competing families. Otherwise, as an elder of a veteran top ancient god bloodline family, he wouldn’t be so narrow-minded.

“Surnamed Tong, this is Dragon Rearing Cicada taking the initiative to challenge me. Don’t talk nonsense!”Having his thoughts exposed, Qu Ling Gui stared at Tong Ye Mu with a stiff expression,” 1 haven’t settled your score with you yet. When we leave this place, you’ll be in for it!””

“Come, come, come. Let’s fight now and see who will look good!”Tong Yemu said and rolled up his sleeves, wanting to go down and spar with Qu Linggui.

“Many thanks for Senior Tong’s good intentions. This is a personal grudge between me and Qu Linggui, so please don’t interfere!”Xia Ping ‘an said to Tong Yemu.

“Hehehe, you little shorty, don’t stop me. 1 haven’t seen such a good show for a long time. Someone wants to die, why are you stopping him!”The old man who was trapped in the light curtain of the altar suddenly said.

Qu Linggui had thought that the person who the old man was talking about was Xia Ping ‘an, and most of the people present also thought that the person who was talking about was Xia Ping’ an. This time, Qu Linggui was even more spirited. He took a step forward and beckoned at Xia Ping ‘an with his finger, his stiff face revealing a hint of killing intent.” Come on, let me show you how humble a newly advanced Rank Eight Hierarch should be in front of a Rank Nine Hierarch like me!”

Xia Ping ‘an also calmly took a few steps forward and faced Qu Linggui from afar. His aura had already locked onto the two of them. There was only a distance of fifty meters between them. For experts at their level, if they were to fight at this distance, even in this hall, it would be as close as touching their faces.

Seeing this situation, Tong Yemu could only sigh and retreat to the side.

The walls around the hall were absorbing the black and white light crazily. The atmosphere in the hall instantly tensed up. It was so quiet that it was as if thunder was about to explode. Xia Ping ‘an and Qu Linggui’s eyes were locked tightly together. Neither of them moved.

A moment later, as the walls of the hall suddenly glowed red, Xia Ping ‘an and Qu Linggui moved at the same time. In a split second, the two of them took a step towards each other and punched out at the same time. The sinister smile on Qu Linggui’s face was magnified the moment he punched out. On Qu Linggui’s fist, there were nine layers of divine light. Within the divine light, the light of the divine kingdom appeared, and the mountains and rivers were faintly discernible. Even in this hall, Wherever Qu Linggui’s fist went, a black crack would appear in the void of the hall. The ripples in the space rippled like water.

However, Xia Ping ‘an’s punch was ordinary and simple. It was just a punch without any fancy moves or any strange phenomena.

The fists and figures of both sides met in the air.

Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, Qu Linggui’s body was instantly penetrated by a terrifying force, starting from his fist. Without even a sound, his entire body, from his fist to his shoulder, then to his head and body, instantly lost all color and luster. He turned into ashes and exploded violently, not even leaving behind any dregs…

The palace didn’t move at all, but the aftermath of that terrifying power exploded in the void of the palace like a divine thunder in the void. It shook the entire void of the palace and kept spinning. Everybody could feel the terror of that aftermath. Some experts even had the reaction of their techniques when their God Bodies were in danger. They had all kinds of defensive secret techniques and strange phenomena.

A Rank Nine Hierarch was killed with a single punch!

Apart from Mi Luo, everyone else was immersed in a dream. They didn’t know what to do and felt some inexplicable fear.

What kind of battle prowess was this? Could it be that the Ancient God’s Immortal Scripture cultivated by Dragon Rearing Cicada was already so terrifying? Or was this genius expert of Dragon Rearing Family blessed by the heavens?

No matter what, Xia Ping ‘an’s punch had pushed the Dragon Rearing Family into the circle of top ancient god bloodline families in the Spirit Desolate Mystic Realm.

“Hahaha, 1 knew it. Is there someone who wants to die? Why are you stopping me…” In the strange silence of the hall, the old man trapped in the light curtain laughed loudly.” It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a top-notch fist technique of the Dao of Three Harmonies. Interesting, interesting…”

In the midst of everyone’s silence, Xia Pingan looked around and said calmly,” Everyone, can the Rank Eight Supreme God here stay?”,Xia Ping ‘an was asking this for himself, as well as for the other Rank Eight Supreme God Realm experts in the hall.

In the silence, a masked Godly Venerable Rank master finally spoke in a deep voice,” Qu Linggui’s words were all out of his own selfishness. We didn’t agree. Since everyone has the ability to come here, then let’s rely on our own abilities!”

At this moment, everyone nodded and no one objected. A Rank Eight Supreme God Realm Dragon Rearing Cicada was already so terrifying. Once he advanced to Rank Nine Supreme God Realm or ignited more divine flames, no one in the hall would be his match. Offending Dragon Rearing Cicada now was equivalent to setting up a mortal enemy for him in the future.

In this atmosphere, palm prints appeared on the walls of the hall. The number of palm prints was exactly the same as the number of people in the hall.

Seeing this scene, no one said anything else. Everyone immediately jumped onto the wall beside them and placed their hands on the palm prints, beginning to communicate with the wall.

Xia Pingan gave Mi Luo a look, and the two of them quickly came to the side of the wall and pressed their hands on the palm print.

The moment his hand touched the wall, Xia Pingan’s consciousness trembled slightly. A wall that was exactly the same as the ring-shaped wall in front of him clearly appeared in his consciousness. Moreover, the sculptures and moving patterns on the wall could be freely moved to any position in his consciousness according to his will.

Xia Ping ‘an glanced at Mi Luo and sent a voice transmission to her.” 1 have some experience with this wall. If Miss Mi Luo doesn’t have any idea, why don’t you try my method?”

Mi Luo directly said,” Alright!”

Then, Xia Pingan used his consciousness to control the movement of the sculptures and patterns on the wall in his sea of consciousness while instructing Mi Luo on how to adjust.

In less than ten minutes, Xia Pingan and Mi Luo completed their tasks one after another. The red light on the wall disappeared, and while the others were still confused, a light flashed in the hall. Other than Xia Pingan and Mi Luo, everyone else was teleported out of the hall without even a chance to say a word.

Only Xia Ping ‘an and Mi Luo were left in the hall.

“I didn’t misjudge you!” The old man trapped in the altar sighed.” You really can solve the mystery of this temple! I’ve been trapped here for tens of thousands of years and still didn’t know what’s on the wall. I’ve not imagined that you could figure it out only after a few days. Can 1 ask what’s the secret of those messy sculptures and patterns on the wall?”

Xia Pingan was silent for a moment before he said,” The pictures on the wall will need to be used to deduce the positions of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Innate Eight Trigrams!”

There was something that Xia Pingan didn’t say in his heart. In history, Shao Kangjie was the one who deduced this Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram. Moreover, after the sculptures and patterns on the circular wall returned to their original positions, they only represented half of the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram. The other half was in the eight-story square altar in the hall.

“Innate Eight Trigrams?” When the old man on the altar heard this, his eyes revealed a trace of confusion. He had never heard of Xia Pingan’s words before, nor did he understand them.” What is the Innate Eight Trigrams?””

Mi Luo was also confused because she didn’t understand what Xia Ping ‘an was saying.

“This is the key to controlling the changes of the universe and all living things!”

“Who could have such a cardinal key? Are they the two great rulers, or is it some hidden and powerful god or creation…”

Xia Pingan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,” In a distant world, the wisest people of the Chosen One race with the longest history and inheritance held such a key!”

” This is an ability comparable to a god!”

“Yes, this is an ability that is comparable to a god.. Many of the chosen ones have been pursuing the goal of becoming undying gods!”
