Chapter 526 524: What's There to Panic About?

"As expected of the Barbarian Race. Your strength isn't bad!"

Luo Tian said calmly.

"Your strength?"

The yellow-skinned woman looked surprised.

She could clearly sense the astonishing power contained within Luo Tian's palm.

'The Human Race's physical constitution is generally average, one might even say poor. How could Luo Tian possess such strength? He actually blocked my punch head-on!'

BANG!

A flash of light erupted between the fist and palm.

Luo Tian and the yellow-skinned woman each took a few steps back.

Back in the Thief King's Treasure Land, Luo Tian would have had a hard time blocking one of the yellow-skinned woman's punches with his physical strength alone.

But after a long period of secluded cultivation upon returning to the Sect, not only had his Cultivation broken through, but his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body had also reached the Sixth-Layer.

In particular, Luo Tian had been consistently consuming the "Nine Yang Strong Wine" recently, which improved and enhanced his Life Constitution, bringing his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body close to the Minor Achievement stage of the Sixth-Layer!

That was why Luo Tian had been able to take that punch so easily.

"You're just a little squirt, but you've got some real strength. However, I was only using seventy percent of my power just now!"

The yellow-skinned woman shouted and charged forward again!

WHOOSH!

Whirlwinds stirred around her, and the yellow-skinned woman's every move contained terrifying might.

She threw another punch. The massive, dark yellow fist-light was domineering, its power far surpassing the previous one.

Luo Tian's expression was calm as he raised his palm to meet the blow.

"Is this kid crazy? No matter how strong he is, there's no way he can be a match for a Barbarian Race cultivator at the Earth Element Ninth Layer!"

"Luo Tian will be beaten to the ground within ten moves!"

The disciples of the Sea Demon Palace all sneered, waiting for a good show.

The higher-ups of the Tai Yuan Sect couldn't help but frown.

"Why is Luo Tian being so stubborn? Why is he clashing head-on with a Barbarian Race Body Cultivator?"

"Isn't he skilled in Swordsmanship? He should be using it to attack from a distance and wear down the enemy!"

A few disciples discussed among themselves, believing Luo Tian to be too reckless, even foolish.

"Heh heh!"

He Yunkong sneered.

'Even I wouldn't dare to fight a Barbarian Race enemy of the same Realm up close. I would always maintain distance, wear them down, and wait for an opening.'

'It would be wonderful if this disciple from Barbarian King Hall "accidentally" crippled Luo Tian...'

He Yunkong thought to himself.

This gambling match only stipulated that killing was forbidden; some malicious acts of injury were tacitly permitted.

In previous battles, some people had their limbs crippled.

BANG!

A dull thud echoed from the Martial Arts Arena.

Luo Tian's palm met the yellow-skinned woman's punch.

"Shatter!"

A dark, bone-chilling Cold Power burst from Luo Tian's palm.

A layer of frost instantly formed on the surface of the massive, dim fist-light, which was then shattered with a light slap of his palm!

SWISH!

Luo Tian then closed in on the yellow-skinned woman and activated his Divine Vein.

The dark blue scale patterns on his back flickered, outlining the shape of a Dragon Vein and releasing a vast, dark mist of Cold Current!

WHOOSH!

A vast Cold Current Vortex swept out, covering a hundred-meter radius as a bone-chilling cold froze everything.

Within that Cold Current Vortex, a menacing and terrifying Dark Dragon swam about.

The yellow-skinned woman was caught in the Cold Current Vortex.

"This Cold Power…"

The yellow-skinned woman felt a piercing cold in her legs!

"Golden Armor Battle Body!"

She activated her Body Refining Technique, and a layer of golden armor materialized on the surface of her body, greatly enhancing her Defense.

But the yellow-skinned woman discovered that even her Golden Armor Battle Body had limited resistance to that Cold Power.

"This boy's Martial Vein's Special Power is actually this impressive!"

The tall elder from Barbarian King Hall's turbid eyes glinted with a faint light.

Especially the dark dragon's shadow within the Cold Current Vortex, which was so vivid and lifelike. Even an ordinary Celestial Tier Martial Vein Special Power would struggle to achieve this!

'I must end this quickly!'

The yellow-skinned woman's expression turned grim, and she launched a fierce assault with both fists.

Massive, dim fist-lights rained down like a meteor shower, continuous and incredibly ferocious!

Luo Tian executed the Wind Manipulation Technique.

With the boosts from the Celestial Silver Feather Robe and the Ancient Cyan Boots, his current speed was even faster than an ordinary cultivator at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer, allowing him to easily evade all Attacks.

'He's so difficult to deal with...'

the yellow-skinned woman thought, gritting her teeth.

Suddenly, she felt a piercing, icy pain in her legs as the coldness spread throughout her body.

Only then did the yellow-skinned woman notice that within the Cold Current Vortex, the Cold Power doubled wherever the Dark Dragon swam!

Just now, while evading her attacks, Luo Tian had made the Dark Cold Dragon pass by her several times.

"You've lost!"

Luo Tian chuckled lightly.

His figure was like the wind, drifting all around.

Luo Tian didn't make a single move, yet the yellow-skinned woman was gradually freezing into an ice sculpture.

'With my Divine Vein Cold Power at its current level, even someone at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer couldn't last long inside it...'

Luo Tian thought to himself.

'Besides, the yellow-skinned woman is from the Barbarian Race. A member of the Human Race would have lasted less than half as long.'

THUD!

The yellow-skinned woman's stiff body fell to the ground.

"I... con... cede!" she stammered, shivering.

Below the stage, the expressions of the Barbarian King Hall's higher-ups darkened.

The disciples of Barbarian King Hall were even more shocked, finding it hard to believe!

The yellow-skinned woman was a Body Cultivator at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer with astonishing strength and Defense, yet she had been defeated in less than thirty moves!

As for Luo Tian, he didn't have a single scratch on him!

A Barbarian Race Body Cultivator at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer? And even she couldn't do anything to Luo Tian!

The many disciples of Barbarian King Hall looked at each other in dismay, feeling a sense of shock and terror!

Before, they had thought Luo Tian was just lucky to have obtained thirty percent of the Thief King's treasure!

But now, it seemed Luo Tian was a monster in his own right!

Obtaining thirty percent of the treasure was no accident!

On the Sea Demon Palace's side, there was complete silence.

A disciple at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer sighed with immense relief.

A moment ago, it was supposed to be his turn for a sparring match, but Barbarian King Hall had snatched the "opportunity."

"Is this the best the disciples of Barbarian King Hall and the Sea Demon Palace can do?"

Luo Tian said with a faint smile.

In that last battle, he had only used his physical strength and Martial Vein Cold Power. He hadn't even used his True Essence, to say nothing of his most proficient skill, Swordsmanship!

One could say that this battle was just a warm-up for Luo Tian.

Since the Barbarian King Hall and the Sea Demon Palace had come to their door, flaunting their power and even targeting him, why would Luo Tian be polite with them?

What's more, he already had a deep-seated hatred for the Sea Demon Palace!

Today, Luo Tian was going to humiliate the Sea Demon Palace!

"As expected of the genius who obtained thirty percent of the Treasure of the Thief King. This old man is even a little envious of the Human Race!"

the Grand Elder of the Sea Demon Palace lamented.

Hearing this, the higher-ups of the Tai Yuan Sect revealed smiles.

Luo Tian's final appearance had managed to save the face that the Tai Yuan Sect had lost earlier.

"My Sect also has a disciple at the Earth Element Ninth Layer who would like to spar with you."

the Grand Elder of the Sea Demon Palace added.

The Sect Master of the Tai Yuan Sect and the other Elders looked puzzled.

What was the Sea Demon Palace's Grand Elder planning?

Even an Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer cultivator had lost to Luo Tian. If they sent out another one, their chances of winning weren't high. It would just be giving away their bet for free.

"I await your instruction!"

An Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer cultivator from the Sea Hunter Race stepped onto the stage.

Luo Tian still chose to accept the fight.

After all, in the previous battle, he hadn't used his full strength and hadn't had his fill of fighting at all.

BAM! POW! POW!

On the Martial Arts Arena, Luo Tian clashed with the second Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer opponent.

Luo Tian still held a strong advantage, displaying shocking strength and looking completely at ease.

The Sea Demon Palace disciple was beaten into a passive defense, retreating again and again!

Forty moves later.

The Sea Demon Palace disciple was soundly defeated!

Luo Tian was heavier-handed with the Sea Demon Palace disciple, crippling one of his arms!

"That's three wins in a row!"

a female disciple of the Tai Yuan Sect shrieked.

But immediately after, the Sea Demon Palace sent out another genius, this one with a quiet and scholarly demeanor.

"I am Luo Yun, a disciple of the Sea Demon Palace. I await your instruction!"

the quiet man said.

The Tai Yuan Sect's higher-ups realized something was wrong.

It seemed the Sea Demon Palace was trying to wear Luo Tian down with a "wheel battle," sending opponents one after another.

But this seemed pointless.

If Luo Tian's True Essence ran low, he could simply refuse to fight.

"Huh? This Luo Yun is at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer!"

The Sect Master of the Tai Yuan Sect suddenly noticed this, and the other higher-ups also realized it immediately.

They hadn't paid much attention before.

They never expected the Sea Demon Palace to be so shameless, quietly sending out a cultivator at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer without a word!

But Luo Tian didn't seem to have noticed and had already accepted the challenge.

The Grand Elder of the Sea Demon Palace revealed a cold smile and sent a mental message to Luo Yun: "Cripple him!"

The Sea Demon Palace's goal from the very beginning wasn't just to defeat Luo Tian, but to cripple him!

Once Luo Tian became a cripple, the Tai Yuan Sect would naturally pay him less attention, and might even expel him from the Main Peak.

At that time, it would be much easier for the Sea Demon Palace to make a move against Luo Tian!

'Luo Tian, even if you've entered the Tai Yuan Sect's Main Peak, you still can't escape the grasp of the Sea Demon Palace!'

the Grand Elder of the Sea Demon Palace sneered inwardly.

BOOM!

On the Martial Arts Arena, when Luo Yun's Cultivation aura flared out, it immediately caused an uproar!

"He's actually at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer!"

"Oh no, Luo Tian fell into their trap!"

The expressions of many Tai Yuan Sect disciples changed drastically!

Yue Linfei, Xia Bingyue, and the others all had grave expressions, their eyes filled with worry.

'How did his opponent suddenly become someone at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer?'

"Junior Luo, the Sea Demon Palace is too cunning. You should concede."

Yue Linfei sent a mental message, trying to persuade him.

Among everyone in the Tai Yuan Sect, only Qi Yuntian remained expressionless.

Back in the Thief King Secret Realm, he had personally seen Luo Tian casually slay an Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer cultivator and then kill a Sea Demon Palace disciple at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer!

After returning to the Sect, Luo Tian's Cultivation had broken through; his strength would only be greater now!

'This Sea Demon Palace disciple at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer has absolutely no chance of winning, okay? What's there to panic about?'

'This guy... he's a wolf in sheep's clothing...'

Qi Yuntian was left a little speechless.
