Chapter 679: Chapter 182: Invincible in the Acupoint Realm? Sorry, You’ve Come to the Wrong Place.

"..."

The Wang Family youth’s expression instantly stiffened. Even the group of experts from Prince Zhennan’s Mansion surrounding him fell into a strange silence.

’Her words... were too vulgar, utterly disrespectful.’

Princess Zhaohua sighed and rolled her eyes at Wang Yiyi.

Wang Yiyi had no filter and utterly lacked the grace of a high-born lady.

’Whenever she’s around, I’m bound to hear those sorts of words from time to time.’

Princess Zhaohua felt blood rush to her head, so frustrated she nearly coughed up blood.

Just then, Wang Dandan, looking unconvinced, stiffened his neck. But just as he was about to open his mouth, Wang Yiyi’s icy gaze swept over to him.

Her red lips parted to utter four words: "The same applies to you."

Wang Dandan: "..."

’There’s no point in even talking anymore.’

’What the actual hell!’

A Demon Suppression Guard at the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm, able to leap over an entire major Realm to defeat someone at the Third Heaven of the Bright Heart Realm?

That completely defies the fundamental principles of cultivation!

If anyone else had said that, Wang Dandan would have, at the very least, spat in their face and called them insane, if not outright slapped them across the face.

But these words had come from his own sister, a woman with uncannily sharp judgment who never spoke without basis. No matter how much he disagreed, he could only swallow his objections.

...

BOOM!

Just then, a heavy thud shattered the stalemate.

A young man with sharp, short hair and an old longsword slung across his back landed on the Acupoint Realm arena like a cannonball.

The bluestone tiles beneath his feet instantly spiderwebbed with cracks!

The youth wore practical, tight-fitting clothes. The muscles on his exposed arms bulged like coiled dragons, and his bronze skin seemed to ripple with explosive power.

But belying this wild appearance, an incomparably sharp Sword Intent radiated from him.

He grinned, flashing a set of white teeth, and his voice rang out like clashing metal. "Baili Guanhai of Sword Heart Island! Fifth Heaven of the Acupoint Realm. I have come for a lesson!"

His declaration sent another wave of commotion through the crowd, which had just begun to settle down. Cries of astonishment erupted from all sides.

"He’s from Sword Heart Island! No wonder he has such a powerful presence!"

"In the Sword Dao of Qing Province, Celestial Sword Mountain and Sword Heart Island have always been considered the two supreme powers, neck and neck with each other."

"That bastard Chu Fan dared to hold this stage despite being from a higher Realm. Such arrogance! He’s finally provoked the geniuses from the great hidden sects!"

"Tsk, tsk. There’s a whole line of people waiting, but it looks like none of them will get a chance now. This Baili Guanhai is a real monster."

"Indeed! Baili Guanhai is only twenty-five, but his name has been famous throughout Qing Province for years."

"They say he has already mastered the sixth of his Heart Sword Seven Techniques, ’Burning Shadow.’ It’s said to ignite the karmic flames of the heart and cleave through all illusion. It can use Heart Fire to bypass the physical body and directly incinerate an opponent’s Divine Sense! It’s impossible to defend against!"

Countless gazes focused on the arena, as if they could already see Chu Fan’s inevitable defeat.

On the arena stage, Chu Fan’s expression was placid, even a little nonchalant.

With a flick of his wrist, his Long Saber slid from its sheath with a clang. Its tip angled toward the ground as he began to walk slowly toward Baili Guanhai.

Baili Guanhai stared, a frown of displeasure forming as Chu Fan steadily approached. "Have you no manners? Do you not even understand the most basic etiquette of the Martial Dao?"

"Before a battle, opponents announce their names and affiliations. You dare to skip such a crucial step?"

Chu Fan didn’t stop walking. "You don’t know my name?" he asked lightly.

Baili Guanhai answered instinctively, "I do, but—"

Chu Fan cut him off. "You don’t know my Cultivation Realm?"

Baili Guanhai faltered. "I do, but..."

A mocking smile touched Chu Fan’s lips. "Then what the hell are you asking for?"

"Are you here to fight, or to take a census?"

"..."

Baili Guanhai’s lip twitched violently, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

’This guy is asking for a beating!’

’This bastard is just begging for it!’

’This contemptuous attitude is even more infuriating than if he’d just insulted my mother to my face!’

’If I don’t cripple this bastard today, my mind will never be at ease, even if I win!’

Baili Guanhai took a deep breath, forcing down his rage. Through gritted teeth, he said, "Very good. You’ve managed to—"

WHOOSH!

He hadn’t even finished his sentence when his vision blurred.

A Residual Image flickered across the stage, and a fierce wind slammed into his face!

Chu Fan had no intention of listening to his nonsense. His Long Saber, whistling shrilly through the air, came down in a straightforward, unadorned chop right at his head!

"You son of a..."

Baili Guanhai was so furious he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

’Is this how people from the Demon Suppression Bureau act?’

’Does this bastard not have a shred of dignity as a Martial Artist?’

’He actually launched a sneak attack?’

’He’s a Demon Suppression Guard, for crying out loud! How can he act like a common street thug with no martial virtue?!’

At the critical moment, Baili Guanhai was startled but not panicked.

His body instinctively dodged to the right as the Ancient Sword on his back leaped from its scabbard.

CLANG!

A blinding flash of sword light flared to life, like a sudden clap of thunder, striking straight for Chu Fan’s neck!

"Heart Sword Seven Techniques, First Style: Still Water!"

Though he had clearly executed a simple thrust, in the eyes of the crowd, the sword light transformed into a bottomless pool, spreading out in an instant.

Overlapping sword images filled the air, seemingly sealing the very space around Chu Fan and cutting off all his paths of retreat!

This sword style emphasized a heart as calm as still water, striking second but landing first, using stillness to conquer motion!

Yet, Chu Fan didn’t even bat an eye, utterly unconcerned by the enveloping web of sword images.

The blood and energy within him roared to life. The crimson light of his Long Saber surged, making him seem like an Asura charging out of hell.

He swung his saber forward in a single, simple slash!

Sheer power overcomes all skill!

BOOM!

The saber light, like a crimson Nether River, crashed into the sword light with unrivaled, domineering force.

A series of sharp cracks echoed as Baili Guanhai’s seemingly impenetrable web of sword images was utterly shattered by that single blow.

The violent Saber Qi, its momentum unbroken, swept toward Baili Guanhai like a tidal wave!

’Such overwhelming power!’

Baili Guanhai was inwardly shocked, but he did not panic.
