Chapter 456: 1 vs. 3

Shen Daoxing paused, sensing something was amiss. Suddenly, he planted his feet on Jun Wushuang's chest, launched himself into the air, and shot backward, narrowly avoiding the danger.

ZZZRAK!

Heaven and Earth!

The next moment, a blinding light flared.

Du Qingshu's colossal figure, so tall it seemed to touch the sky, materialized in front of Shen Daoxing.

Then, the massive Treasure Sword in Du Qingshu's hand swept out, violently knocking away the Venerable Dharma Seal looming over Jun Wushuang's head.

Seizing the opportunity, Jun Wushuang lifted the Venerable Dharma Seal, tossed it aside, and got to his feet.

Seeing this, Gu Tianyao stared in stunned disbelief before being the first to shout in outrage, "Despicable! What happened to the one-on-one duel? You're ganging up on him!"

Du Qingshu's cold laughter echoed down from the sky. "Heh heh heh... When did we from Fusang ever agree to a one-on-one fight?"

Behind Du Qingshu, Jun Wushuang frowned. "Senior Brother, there's no need for you to interfere. Let me handle him alone!"

Hearing this, Du Qingshu silently shook his head. "Junior Brother Wushuang, this battle is not yours alone. The future of our Fusang is at stake. You absolutely cannot lose!"

With that, Du Qingshu let out a low shout, "Shi Ba!"

ZZZRAK!

A blinding light flared.

The next moment, Shi Ba's colossal, burly figure materialized, blocking Shen Daoxing's path. He gripped a Treasure Sword as thick as an iron pillar in both hands, his presence overwhelming.

They were going to fight three against one—three peerless masters of the Earth Profound Realm against a mere disciple of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Despicable! How dare you gang up on him!"

Suddenly, Gu Tianyao was seething with indignation.

In that instant, a blinding light flared up beside Gu Tianyao. Gu Muyun's colossal figure suddenly materialized, and raising a massive Treasure Sword, she took a step forward to help Shen Daoxing.

However, she had barely taken a single step when her face suddenly flushed. With a cry, she spat out a large mouthful of blood as her entire Golden Body Dharma Aspect shattered and collapsed with a SWOOSH.

It was obvious that Gu Muyun had been severely injured in her previous battle with Jun Wushuang. She no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

"Let's go lend Shen Daoxing a hand."

Gu Tianyao frowned and suddenly turned to Wan Hai and Tang Yi.

The three of them then stepped forward, a brilliant golden light flaring from their bodies as they prepared to use Heaven and Earth.

At that moment, Shen Daoxing spoke to them calmly. "It's fine. They're just a few more opponents for me to defeat. If one comes, I'll beat one. If a pair comes, I'll beat a pair. And if three come, I'll beat all three. They're just a bunch of Earth Profound Realm guys. It doesn't matter how many there are; they're all the same to me. I don't need your help."

"But..."

Gu Tianyao hesitated, still wanting to help.

Just then, Liu Ying, who was standing beside them, silently shook her head. "He doesn't need your help. If you go up there, you'll only get in his way and become a burden."

Suddenly, Gu Tianyao, Wan Hai, and Tang Yi all stopped in their tracks. They exchanged glances and ultimately decided not to go forward.

Meanwhile, the disciples watching from the sky above were in an uproar, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"My god! This... this... Just what is the background of this outer sect kid? Even Jun Wushuang can't do a thing to him!"

"Is... is he really just an outer sect kid at the Spirit Transformation Realm?"

"Du Qingshu is one of the most outstanding figures of the Four Vein Immortal Island, the number one disciple in Fusang after Jun Wushuang. He's just one step away from entering the Refining Dust Realm. And Shi Ba is also at the Ninth Layer of the Earth Profound Realm, ranked among the top six of the Four Vein Disciples. He's not to be underestimated either. Against three of them, it looks like it will be very difficult for this outer sect kid to win."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Fusang is really throwing away all their pride just to win this time!"

"Heh heh heh, I'm actually starting to hope this outer sect kid wins. Heh heh heh, if that happens, the disciples of the Four Vein Immortal Island will probably lose all face!" someone suddenly said.

"Sigh! If only..."

After witnessing Shen Daoxing's strength, many people had unknowingly come to acknowledge him, even hoping he would win.

After all, in this world, the strong were revered, and everyone admired power.

As for the voices that had been mocking Shen Daoxing earlier, they had long since vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, the faces of Vice Island Master Han and the Fusang elder had already darkened, turning pitch-black. They appeared to be in an extremely foul mood.

At that moment, down below, Du Qingshu spoke coldly, "Array Formation!"

With that, he kicked off the ground and shot into the sky. He raised his Meteor Sword high and began to slash it rapidly through the air, creating dazzling trails of light.

"Flying Rain Meteor!"

Suddenly, streaks of light like shooting stars flew from the Treasure Sword before him. They traced beautiful arcs across the sky before plunging toward Shen Daoxing like a meteor shower, CRACKLING violently.

Seeing this, Jun Wushuang hesitated, a resentful look on his face. In the end, however, he still drew his Divine Sun Sword and charged forward with a great stride.

The colossal and burly Shi Ba also let out a mighty roar.

"Heaven-Supporting Strike!"

He gripped the Treasure Sword, which was like a sky-supporting pillar, with both hands and swept it horizontally. The immense whistling sound kicked up a gale across the desert.

"Bring it on!"

Seeing this, Shen Daoxing showed no intention of dodging the brunt of the attack. Instead, he burst out laughing.

He suddenly thrust out his hands. SIZZLE! Black arcs of electricity flickered around them. Then, with a THUD, he directly caught the sky-supporting pillar that Shi Ba had swung at him.

Then, Shen Daoxing slowly turned, his small frame somehow lifting Shi Ba—a being several, or even hundreds, of thousands of times his own size. Suddenly, he hoisted him up and used him as a shield.

CRACKLE! POP! BAM!

Countless brilliant meteors rained down, but they all slammed into Shi Ba's body.

Shi Ba couldn't help but let out a wail of agony!

Immediately after, Shen Daoxing put his strength into his arms, spun Shi Ba around once, and violently flung him far into the sky, sending him hurtling toward Du Qingshu.

Du Qingshu stared blankly for a moment, then hastily retracted his Meteor Sword. He twisted his body to the side and descended, narrowly avoiding Shi Ba.

However, in the next instant, Shen Daoxing's figure flickered and suddenly appeared right above his head.

"Venerable Fist!"

He raised his arm high, and black arcs of electricity exploded from it.

BOOM!

Shen Daoxing's fist smashed down.

Startled, Du Qingshu quickly raised his Meteor Sword to block the fist.

BANG!

Light erupted and electricity crackled.

Du Qingshu felt the web of his sword hand go numb. His arm trembled, and the sword was sent flying from his grasp with a WHOOSH.

'?'

Du Qingshu froze.

But Shen Daoxing's fist continued downward, its momentum undiminished.

BAM!

It smashed down with full force.

Du Qingshu's body shuddered, and his golden light instantly exploded.

RUMBLE!

Under the force of one punch from Shen Daoxing's small figure, the colossal body toppled over.
