Jin Zhan was defeated, without any suspense, effortlessly crushed by the silver-robed man!
“Too weak. Someone like you dares to challenge me? No wonder the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been slaughtered repeatedly—utterly pathetic. Killing creatures like you offers no challenge at all.”
The silver-robed man sneered, stepping on Jin Zhan and looking down at him with disdain. His arrogance was boundless, and his mockery extended to all the cultivators of Emperor Pass.
Behind them, Jin Tai Jun’s face darkened like water. This was a severe humiliation—Jin Zhan, the leader of the Jin Clan’s younger generation, had been so thoroughly defeated and publicly ridiculed. Her pride was shattered.
Wang Xi’s expression was complicated. She opened her mouth slightly, glancing at Jin Tai Jun. *Aren’t you going to save him?*
Jin Zhan, hailed as a peerless genius among the younger generation, had been invincible in his time. Yet now, before countless eyes, he lay trampled beneath another’s foot—an unbearable disgrace.
Who was truly mighty, who was genuine gold? The answer was clear. Though the people despised the creatures of the Other Side, they couldn’t deny their overwhelming strength.
“Release him!” Jin Tai Jun commanded.
“Heh!” A Supreme Being chuckled, blocking her path.
Shi Hao was surprised. He had long suspected the Jin Clan of colluding with the Other Side, but now it seemed that might not be the case.
“You think I’ll release him just because you say so? What use is such trash?” The silver-robed youth scoffed, unafraid even in the face of a Supreme Being.
He knew the Supreme Beings of the Other Side would protect him from retaliation.
*Clang!*
He drew a bone blade, sharp and gleaming, pressing it against Jin Zhan’s forehead.
“Stop!”
Wang Xi shouted. Despite their broken engagement, she couldn’t bear to see Jin Zhan humiliated like this. It was hard to believe the mighty Jin Zhan had fallen so easily.
“Ha! Little beauty, if you want to save him, come with me to the Other Side. Staying with such a weakling tarnishes your brilliance. He doesn’t deserve you.” The silver-robed youth laughed wildly, his arrogance boundless.
The cultivators of Emperor Pass all paled. This man was too brazen, openly mocking the fairies of the Wang Clan.
This wasn’t just an insult to the Jin and Wang Clans—it was an affront to everyone in Emperor Pass.
“You’re too arrogant. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. Do you think you’re invincible?” Shi Hao’s voice boomed from afar.
The silver-robed youth had been dismissive of Emperor Pass’s cultivators, but at Shi Hao’s words, his expression shifted.
Reputation mattered. He could belittle Jin Zhan and mock Wang Xi, but he dared not underestimate *Huang*—Shi Hao, the one with terrifying achievements. He had heard how Shi Hao defeated Chi Meng Hong, descendant of Chi King, breaking the laws of time.
Even worse, Shi Hao had snapped Chi Meng Hong’s leg and roasted it as food!
Such brutality forced him to be wary.
Wang Xi’s expression was complex. She hadn’t expected Shi Hao to step forward at this critical moment.
“Huang, don’t overestimate yourself. This is my trophy—you have no right to interfere!” Though fearful, the silver-robed youth refused to back down.
With a vicious glint in his eyes, he thrust the bone blade downward.
*Splat!*
Blood flashed, but divine radiance erupted, engulfing the scene.
With a hum, Jin Zhan vanished. Though grievously wounded, a divine talisman within him activated at the brink of death, wrapping him in dazzling light and whisking him away.
It was a priceless treasure of the Jin Clan, given to protect his life.
Shi Hao strode forward, unhurried, his gaze fixed on the silver-robed youth.
“Don’t take this one from me!” The Ten Crowned King spoke, having long marked this target.
“Let me kill him,” Shi Hao countered.
The Ten Crowned King, the Banished Immortal, and others had paused to watch Jin Zhan’s duel. Now, they were ready to act.
“Huang, I’ll be the one to kill you later. Care to fight me now?” Across the field, a man wielding a celestial halberd sneered.
“If you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige. But first, I’ll kill him.” Shi Hao pointed at the silver-robed youth.
“You—do you think I fear you?” The silver-robed youth’s face twisted in fury.
“Then come. I won’t move. If you force me back even a step, I’ll concede.” Shi Hao’s tone was calm, yet his words were a challenge.
This was his response to the Other Side’s contempt—a bold declaration.
“You go too far!” The silver-robed youth roared, though fear gnawed at him.
“What if I do?” The Ten Crowned King stepped forward, murder in his eyes.
“You—” The youth seethed, feeling insulted. First Huang, now others dared to threaten him?
“Who do you think you are? With such mediocre skill, you dare belittle Emperor Pass’s cultivators? I’d love to kill you too,” the Banished Immortal said, his voice serene yet laced with killing intent.
“Ha!” The silver-robed youth laughed in rage. First Huang, now others mocked him. “Let’s see who can touch me!”
“Let me kill him.”
“No, I will.”
The Ten Crowned King, the Banished Immortal, and Shi Hao all advanced, stunning the Other Side’s young elites. Were Emperor Pass’s cultivators this confident?
In the end, Shi Hao moved forward.
At the same time, the Ten Crowned King and the Banished Immortal pointed ahead, declaring their intent to kill.
*Boom!*
An uproar erupted. The Other Side’s youths were incensed.
“Arrogant! How dare you belittle our world? Kill them!” they roared.
“Are you scared? How about I fight you with just one arm?” Shi Hao taunted.
The silver-robed youth’s face alternated between green and white. He wanted to retreat but couldn’t lose face now.
He decided to fight briefly, then withdraw and let the true Imperial Clansmen take over.
“Huang, others fear you, but I don’t! You were once a prisoner of our world. Today, I’ll fight you!”
“Kill!”
In the distance, the Ten Crowned King and the Banished Immortal had already engaged enemies.
Great Monk Xu Tuo, Little Heavenly King, Qi Gu Daoist, and even Shi Yi, the Dual-Pupiled, stepped forward to battle.
*Splat!*
Blood sprayed in the battlefield.
A colossal dragon soared, roaring like an immortal king—the Ten Crowned King, wielding the True Dragon Treasure Technique, impaled a Noble Clan member!
Simultaneously, elsewhere, blood gleamed as the Banished Immortal, his back adorned with five-colored wings, beheaded his opponent.
Phoenix wings! Beyond his known abilities, he had mastered the True Phoenix Secret Art!
In an instant, two Noble Clan elites of the Other Side fell in fair combat.
The onlookers were stunned. They had always scorned the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, yet now they witnessed its might—not just from Huang, but others who could slay them!
On Emperor Pass’s walls, cheers erupted.
Shi Hao was speechless. These two were truly ferocious.
“Come, let me kill one too. I never fall behind,” Shi Hao said lightly.
The silver-robed youth’s face twisted in fury.
“Arrogant! Die!” he bellowed, charging.
Shi Hao stood firm, unmoving. Only when the youth’s ancestral technique neared did he strike—his arm transforming into a colossal Kun Peng claw, tearing through all resistance.
*Boom!*
The silver-robed youth tried to flee, but the claw pursued relentlessly, its vastness like a Buddha’s palm, stars swirling around each finger.
Humiliated, the youth had barely attacked before retreating.
“Die!”
He unleashed a barrage of ancestral techniques, over a dozen in rapid succession, yet none could breach the claw.
*Boom!*
The claw closed, crushing the youth’s bones. He screamed, blood gushing from his mouth.
“You’re too weak,” Shi Hao murmured.
In truth, the youth was strong—just not enough against Shi Hao.
*Splat!*
The claw clenched, shattering every bone in his body.
With a thud, Shi Hao tossed him to the ground and stomped, exploding him in a burst of blood.
The crowd was stunned. A Noble Clan expert, crushed like an insect?
Wang Xi’s gaze was profound. The young man before her was too formidable—Jin Zhan’s conqueror had been effortlessly annihilated by Huang.
“Hahaha!” On the Other Side, laughter rang out. The halberd-wielder approached.
“Huang, you’re still alive. How delightful!” Another voice hissed—Chi Meng Hong, descendant of Chi King, advanced as well.
Several Imperial Clan youths closed in, eyes locked on Huang.
“Come. Will you attack together, or die one by one?” Shi Hao asked, his tone even more domineering than the Other Side’s elites.
