Everyone was confused. What was going on?
Fang Chen was already shocking enough, and now there was another guy who wasn't any weaker than Fang Chen.
Thirty puppets at the peak of the Heaven Star Border Realm. Even a super force wouldn't be able to take out such a huge sum.
After this battle, Qing Hou's name was destined to resound throughout Scar Island.
On the peak, Gu Tie, Lei Yan, and Ji Hong looked at Qing Hou in a daze.
Qing Hou was in high spirits, and his face was full of smiles.
He took a step forward and came to Fang Chen's side.
"It's your turn."
Qing Hou looked at Ou Ruochen.
Ou Ruochen's face was extremely gloomy. When he heard Qing Hou's words, he had the thought of cowering.
However, the honor of being the leader of the five sky-prides prevented him from doing so.
"What a huge sum. Thirty puppets." Ou Ruochen forced a smile.
"You're my brother's cup of tea."
Qing Hou winked at Fang Chen and kept the thirty puppets with a smile. He then retreated to Princess Xin's side.
In fact, it wasn't that Qing Hou didn't want to fight.
It was just that controlling thirty puppets at the same time consumed a lot of energy.
The current him was already somewhat powerless to carry on.
What he did just now was just to intimidate everyone.
Moreover, Ou Ruochen was Fang Chen's cup of tea. He wouldn't fight with Fang Chen over him.
The thirty puppets shook violently, and the crowd couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.
On the peak.
Fang Chen looked at Ou Ruochen from a close distance.
"Leader of the five sky-prides. I wonder if I'm qualified for you to fight with me now?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.
Ou Ruochen looked at Fang Chen and said, "You've indeed exceeded my expectations. But in the next battle, I'll let you know who's the real sky-prides."
"Oh, haven't you thought about the fact that the leader of the five sky-prides will change hands after this battle?"
Fang Chen's meaning was clear. He would definitely win this battle.
Naturally, there was a trace of killing intent hidden in the depths of Fang Chen's eyes, but Ou Ruochen did not notice it.
"What a joke. I, Ou Ruochen, used my fists to win this honor. It's impossible for you to take it away," said Ou Ruochen.
In response to Ou Ruochen's words, Fang Chen just chuckled.
No matter what, he had to kill Ou Ruochen today.
This was the best opportunity. Otherwise, there would be no more opportunities in the future.
"Then let's fight." There was nothing much to say, only battle.
The Hidden Star Sword issued a sword cry, as if it was catering to the mood of its master.
Vital essence surged around Fang Chen's body, ready to strike.
"If I kill you, Princess Xin's life will be much more peaceful, right?" Ou Ruochen narrowed his eyes.
He, Ou Ruochen, was filled with killing intent.
Now that things had come to this, Ji Hong no longer tried to dissuade him.
Things had gone beyond his expectations, and he didn't dare to get involved.
As for Lei Yan and Gu Tie, they were even more afraid of Fang Chen. They constantly retreated until they reached the edge of the peak.
At the center of the peak, there was only Fang Chen and Ou Ruochen.
"Princess Xin, who do you think will win this battle?" Qing Hou chuckled.
Princess Xin's eyes twinkled, a crafty smile on her face.
"Is there even a need to ask? Of course it's Fang Chen."
Princess Xin's attitude was clear. She supported Fang Chen.
However, that only infuriated Ou Ruochen.
"Die!"
Ou Ruochen attacked.
Everyone on the plains went into an uproar.
After so many years, seeing the head of the five heavenly geniuses, Ou Ruochen, attack once again was a wonderful thing.
The Heavenly Devil Sword Art.
Fang Chen used the Heavenly Devil Sword Art. The Hidden Star Sword stabbed toward Ou Ruochen.
BANG!
Ou Ruochen's fist shattered the Heavenly Devil Sword and sneered, "Is that all you've got?"
Fang Chen spread out his hands. The killing intent in his eyes was completely exposed.
In the next moment, he used the Heavenly Sealing Art and Five Thunder Tribulation Art at the same time.
"This is …"
Ou Ruochen recognized Fang Chen's sword art when he sensed the terrifying aura on Fang Chen's body.
"It's you."
Ou Ruochen's eyes were filled with a trace of horror.
Immediately, he turned around without hesitation and prepared to escape.
However, Fang Chen's thunderous attack landed on his body.
"No!"
Ou Ruochen roared in anger. His heart was filled with unwillingness.
The heavenly geniuses on the peak were even more shocked.
Ou Ruochen was preparing to escape right after the battle. Was this still the five heavenly geniuses they knew?
There was even an uproar below.
Crack!
Fang Chen's sword slashed down and cut off one of Ou Ruochen's arms.
Ou Ruochen let out a miserable cry and roared in anger.
"Let me go!"
How could Fang Chen let him go after his identity was exposed?
Crack!
With another slash, Ou Ruochen's other arm was cut off as well.
Ou Ruochen was covered in blood and wanted to escape.
However, he couldn't escape in front of the True Will of Space and Time.
"Save me!"
Ou Ruochen roared with all his might.
Gu Tie and Lei Yan looked at each other in dismay. They seemed to have the urge to attack.
Princess Xin took a step forward. Her aura surged and intimidated the two.
Whoosh!
She completely suppressed Ou Ruochen and cut off his head with a slash.
Ou Ruochen fell to the ground unwillingly.
Before he died, he roared with all his might. "Avenge me!"
A heavenly genius of a generation fell on Liuhen Peak just like that.
Crash!
Looking at the blood on the blade, Fang Chen's face was as calm as an ancient well.
"Fang Chen, you killed Ou Ruochen. The Ou Clan won't let you go," Lei Yan said.
"That's right. The Ou Clan will definitely avenge Ou Ruochen," Gu Tie said.
Fang Chen glared at the two of them. Instantly, the two of them trembled and fled the mountain, scared witless.
The crowd below also dispersed in an uproar.
The annual exchange of geniuses had ended in such a way. It made everyone's jaws drop.
"Let's go."
Princess Xin grabbed Fang Chen's hand and said quickly.
The Ou Clan must have known about Ou Ruochen's death. They were probably already on their way.
Rumble!
Before the three of them could descend the mountain, a terrifying pressure descended.
"Ruochen!"
Shortly after, an angry voice resounded through the sky.
The Ou Clan's Patriarch appeared on the peak.
When he saw Ou Ruochen's corpse, his face was filled with grief. His aura surged as if he wanted to pierce through the sky.
The terrifying pressure directly locked onto Fang Chen's group.
"Princess Xin, leave quickly," the Ou Clan's Patriarch said in a deep voice. His voice was filled with anger.
"The exchange of geniuses is a competition between cultivators. Ou Ruochen and Fang Chen had a fair fight. Ou Ruochen can only blame himself for not being skilled enough," Princess Xin said.
Boom!
The terrifying pressure directly enveloped the three of them, causing Princess Xin's face to turn red and white.
"Don't think that I won't dare to kill you just because your father is the Liuhen Island's Patriarch," the Ou Clan's Patriarch said coldly. "Scram!"
The Ou Clan's Patriarch's voice contained a soul attack, causing Princess Xin's soul to tremble. She vomited blood and her face turned pale.
"Princess Xin, leave quickly," Fang Chen said.
The Liuhen Island's Patriarch rushed over from the clouds.
"Old man, don't harm my daughter!"
The Liuhen Island's Patriarch roared and instantly appeared on the peak. With a wave of his hand, the terrifying pressure around the three of them was removed.
When he saw the trace of blood at the corner of his daughter's mouth, the Liuhen Island's Patriarch was furious.
"Ou Ruochen is my Ou Clan's hope. This child destroyed my Ou Clan's hope. Today, I must kill him. No one can stop me," the Ou Clan's Patriarch said.
"What if I want to protect Fang Chen?" The Liuhen Island's Patriarch said.
His face was ashen.
Fang Chen was very outstanding. Being able to kill Ou Ruochen in a one-on-one battle was enough to show his tyrannical strength.
Moreover, Fang Chen was his son-in-law. How could he let others kill him so casually?
With Fang Chen's potential, stepping into the Heavenly Body Tier was only a matter of time. Even the legendary Creation Tier wouldn't be able to stop him.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Liuhen Island's Patriarch decided to protect Fang Chen with all his might.
"Then let's fight."
Rumble!
On the peak, the battle between the two apex elites caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.
Fang Chen and the others were continuously attacked by powerful auras.
"What a terrifying battle."
Qing Hou's face was filled with shock.
Meanwhile, Fang Chen's expression was grave. He had been a little impulsive today.
However, after thinking for a moment, he felt relieved.
On the path of martial arts, one had to follow one's heart. When it was time to be impulsive, one had to be impulsive.
The battle between the two apex elites of the Heavenly Body Tier created a huge commotion.
It alarmed many elites of the Liuhen Manor.
Some elites of the Ou Clan also rushed over.
Their eyes were filled with fury.
"Kill him for me."
The Ou Clan's Patriarch, who was fighting with the Liuhen Island's Patriarch, roared hysterically.
The elites of the Ou Clan all attacked.
Fang Chen's expression was grave as he prepared to fight.
"Stop."
Princess Xin took a step forward and stood in front of Fang Chen as she spoke in a deep voice.
Facing Princess Xin, the elites of the Ou Clan restrained themselves and didn't dare to attack.
After all, Princess Xin was the Liuhen Island's Patriarch's daughter. If she was injured, they couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Attack!"
The Ou Clan's Patriarch roared furiously.
It had already come to this, so why did they still care so much?
"Old man, how dare you!"
The Liuhen Island's Patriarch berated loudly.
On the peak, the elites of the Ou Clan no longer feared Princess Xin and attacked with all their might.
Bang!
Powerful attacks poured down in an instant.
"Leave quickly!"
Fang Chen resisted with all his might, wanting to fight for a chance for Princess Xin. Qing Hou directly took out 30 puppets and prepared to fight with his life.
However, at this crucial moment, Divine Mentor Yao Gui appeared.
"Who dares to touch my disciple?"
Divine Mentor Yao Gui appeared very domineering. With a wave of his hand, the tyrannical power of stars surged and directly dispersed the attacks of the Ou Clan's elites.
"Divine Mentor Yao Gui."
Seeing this, the Ou Clan's elites were wary.
Seeing Divine Mentor Yao Gui appear, the Ou Clan's Patriarch was even more furious.
At this crucial moment, Divine Mentor Yao Gui appeared.
After Divine Mentor Yao Gui protected Princess Xin, he nodded at Fang Chen with satisfaction.
Then, he looked at the elites of the Ou Clan.
"I won't interfere in the battles of the younger generation, but if a Heavenly Body Tier cultivator lowers his status to attack the younger generation, I won't agree."
For a moment, the Ou Clan's elites were in a dilemma.
"Ou Clan's Patriarch, how about this old man help you?"
Whoosh!
A figure whizzed through the air.
It was the Demon Cloud Ancestor, an eighth level Heavenly Body Tier elite.
Seeing the arrival of the Demon Cloud Ancestor, the Ou Clan's Patriarch was overjoyed.
