Death Grip
Although Zhao Yuanlong had been watching from the side and was aware of Xing Chen's true strength, he showed no intention of stopping the situation. In fact, a hint of glee could be seen in his eyes.
Upon noticing this, Xing Chen quickly deduced that the Zhao Family was not very harmonious and had significant internal conflicts.
"Zizi, let's have a match. If you can defeat me, I will absolutely agree to you taking my place. If you are just a worthless Rascal, then..." Zhao Ming stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light as he looked at Xing Chen ominously.
"Hmph..." Xing Chen sneered and suddenly pointed forward. This gesture was the Shattering Star Finger; however, given Zhao Ming's cultivation level, he was not worthy of Xing Chen unleashing his full power. Therefore, Xing Chen only executed the first finger of the Shattering Star Finger.
One finger shattered the stars!
As Xing Chen pointed, dreamlike starlight flashed in the air, appearing beautiful at first glance. However, hidden within that beauty was a cold killing intent.
Almost simultaneously, several elders above changed their expressions. Although this finger's power did not shock them to the point of disbelief, it could definitely severely injure Zhao Ming—at least enough to cause him significant harm.
"Zhao Ming, watch out!" Zhao Guang and others hurriedly warned Zhao Ming. They all sensed the immense power contained in that finger. Zhao Guang knew that even if he wanted to take on that attack himself, it would be quite challenging.
"Ha!" Zhao Ming's expression also changed. However, retreating was not an option at this moment. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and shout loudly as he threw a punch forward.
This punch struck out into the air, and the surrounding Vital Energy instantly condensed into a massive fist that collided violently with Xing Chen's finger.
Boom!
A loud crash echoed as Zhao Ming was sent flying backward, crashing into a pillar behind him before falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Zhao Family erupted in an uproar. Although Zhao Ming was not the strongest among those in the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, he was certainly not weak. To be injured so severely by a single move meant that even Zhao Guang might not be able to achieve such a feat!
"How powerful! No wonder the family suddenly changed hands; it turns out this person is so strong. Perhaps even Zhao Guang wouldn't be able to defeat him!"
"In my opinion, this person is at least on par with Song Xingwen, Ling Kaifeng, and Fireman."
"Indeed! This person's strength is formidable; with just one move, he has severely injured Zhao Ming. He must have reached the level of Ling Kaifeng and others. It seems our Zhao Family has hope for an increase in ranking this time."
The surrounding Zhao Family Disciples began to discuss among themselves, while several people came forward to carry the severely injured Zhao Ming away. Meanwhile, Zhao Guang's expression darkened as he listened to the chatter around him, his face growing increasingly grim.
Originally, he was the top talent of the Zhao Family, and all eyes would naturally be on him. However, due to the recent match, everyone's attention had shifted to Xing Chen, and he even questioned whether he could be a match for this person.
These thoughts filled Zhao Guang with anger, but at that moment, he had no reason to take action. If he were to challenge innocently, it would only lead to further disdain from others. Thus, Zhao Guang forcibly suppressed his fury.
"So you possess such formidable strength; no wonder Elder Six recommended you to represent the Zhao Family in battle," Zhao Guang said coldly after calming his anger.
"Although my strength isn't particularly impressive, someone like you doesn't even register on my radar. If you're feeling unsatisfied, I can spar with you for a couple of rounds," Xing Chen replied lightly, casting a dismissive glance at Zhao Guang. He had never had a good impression of troublemakers like him, so there was no kindness in his words.
"In that case, I would like to test your skills," Zhao Guang said, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes as he glared at Xing Chen.
"Alright, if you want to compete, we can do so at the Nebula Gate. Right now is our family banquet, not a martial arts tournament. You two should calm down!" At that moment, Zhao Yuanlong finally spoke up.
Xing Chen didn't mind Zhao Yuanlong's words; however, Zhao Guang's hatred for Xing Chen only deepened.
"Xing Chen, well done! Let's see who else dares to look down on you," Zhao Yu said after witnessing Xing Chen decisively put Zhao Guang and the others in their place. He felt much better and immediately gave Xing Chen a thumbs up.
"You're overpraising me. It's not that I'm particularly strong; it's just that Zhao Ming is too weak. How can someone like him even claim to be at the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm? On our Snow Wind Island, any random person from the Soul Realm could easily defeat him."
Xing Chen spoke calmly and without reservation. The anger on Zhao Guang and the others' faces intensified upon hearing this, and even a few elders showed slight changes in their expressions.
After all, Zhao Ming was a disciple of the Zhao Family, and now being belittled by Xing Chen, they felt embarrassed.
"Are you called Xing Chen?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Xing Chen. He turned around involuntarily.
Behind him stood a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, her cultivation also reaching the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. She was likely one of those participating in this ranking competition.
"Who are you?" Xing Chen nodded and then asked.
"My name is Zhao Yue. Nice to meet you," the girl said with a sweet smile as she looked at Xing Chen.
"Are you also one of the participants in the grand competition?" Xing Chen looked at the girl named Zhao Yue and asked.
"Yes, but my strength is nowhere near yours. I definitely won't be able to achieve anything for my family," Zhao Yue nodded and smiled.
"I think you're much stronger than that Zhao Ming from earlier. Even if you can't achieve anything for your family, you're still better than those useless ones who bring shame to the family," Xing Chen said calmly.
"Pfft..." Zhao Yue couldn't help but chuckle lightly. Although she was indeed a bit stronger than Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming wasn't as weak as Xing Chen suggested.
"How can you say that about them? Even though their strength isn't up to yours, they shouldn't be bringing shame to the family!" Zhao Yue looked at Xing Chen with a hint of reproach.
"In my eyes, they are just a disgrace when they go out. People like them who only know how to stir trouble will never achieve anything significant," Xing Chen glanced at Zhao Guang and the others and said indifferently.
Zhao Guang and the others naturally heard Xing Chen's words. However, aside from anger, they had no other way to respond. After all, this was a family banquet, a time for celebration. Even if they wanted to duel with Xing Chen, they had to wait until later.
"While you have a point, there's no need to say it so publicly! You should at least give them some face," Zhao Yue said to Xing Chen.
However, everyone present were strong individuals above the Soul Realm. Although Zhao Yue's voice was soft, it was still heard by them.
In an instant, Zhao Guang and the others felt as if their faces were on fire, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.
Even the Five Elders and Zhao Yuanlong had strange expressions on their faces, while only Zhao Yu showed unabashed glee, secretly thinking to himself.
"Letting you doubt me just now! Forcing me earlier! Accusing me of using power for personal gain—now you've finally gotten your comeuppance!"
Zhao Yu thought gleefully, unable to suppress a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it! I'll fight you!" At that moment, someone from Zhao Guang's group finally couldn't hold back. One person suddenly jumped out and threw a punch, executing the Zhao Family's Earth-Level Martial Arts—Breaking Fist.
As this person threw the punch, it instantly tore through the air with a thunderous sound aimed at Xing Chen.
Xing Chen looked at the incoming punch without changing his expression. His palm was surrounded by lightning as he swiftly struck out with one hand. Accompanied by this strike was a thunderous roar and explosive energy; it seemed as if countless bolts of lightning were contained within this palm as it collided fiercely with the incoming punch.
Bang!
A loud explosion echoed, and the Zhao Family Disciple trembled, blood gushing from his mouth. His entire body was covered in purple arcs of electricity, as endless bolts of lightning surged from Xing Chen's palm, striking him relentlessly.
"Stop!" At that moment, an elder from the Zhao Family shouted angrily. The person battling Xing Chen was the grandson of this elder. Seeing his grandson nearly killed by a single strike from Xing Chen, he could no longer hold back. If he didn't intervene soon, his grandson would end up as charred meat.
"Oh, it's quite lively here! However, it seems I arrived at a bad time! I hope I'm not interrupting anything!" Just then, a mocking voice suddenly rang out. A young man with a mischievous smile appeared in the hall.
Xing Chen couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the sound and saw a young man at the entrance wearing a sly grin, hands behind his back as he walked in, followed by several Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm experts.
This young man with the mischievous smile was Song Xingwen, the top talent among the younger generation of the Song Family, one of the four major powers on Nebula Island.
He was also one of the four great talents among the younger generation of Nebula Island, possessing strength that could rival a Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak expert.
"Song Xingwen? What are you doing here?" Zhao Yuanlong asked coldly as he looked at the suddenly appearing Song Xingwen.
"Hehe, don't be so angry! The Song Family lost a Yang Po Er Chong expert to you and had an Elemental Stone Vein taken from us, yet we didn't get upset. Why are you so furious?" Song Xingwen said with a teasing smile.
"Song Xingwen, stop with the nonsense. What is your purpose for coming here?" Zhao Guang, the top talent of the Zhao Family, stepped forward and shouted loudly.
