Since the Bi Clan Leader had expressed his stance, the Void Ocean City Lord had no choice but to punish him.
It was indeed Yuwen Tianhe who had violated the rules, and the Bi Clan Leader was very unhappy about it.
Therefore, he punished Yuwen Tianhe by grounding him for a thousand years.
Some of the cultivators who were friends with Yuwen Tianhe frowned.
This punishment was too severe.
Yuwen Tianhe was at the best age to pursue the peak of the martial path.
Being grounded for a thousand years was undoubtedly cutting off Yuwen Tianhe's martial path.
Yuwen Tianhe's heart burned with anger as he clenched his fists.
At this moment, he wanted to refute, but he was powerless.
The one who had punished him was the Void Ocean City Lord, who could kill him with a single finger.
What right did he have to argue with him?
Therefore, all of his anger was focused on Fang Chen.
"Yuwen Tianhe, do you submit?" the Void Ocean City Lord asked.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Submit?
Yuwen Tianhe's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
He didn't answer the Void Ocean City Lord, because in the eyes of the Void Ocean City Lord, it didn't matter whether he submitted or not.
"City Lord, I have a request," Yuwen Tianhe said.
"Speak."
Perhaps because the punishment was too severe, the Void Ocean City Lord felt a trace of guilt toward Yuwen Tianhe. Hearing Yuwen Tianhe's request, the Void Ocean City Lord nodded and agreed.
"Fang Chen used a trick to steal my Demonic Core, causing me to have no Demonic Core. Therefore, I used unscrupulous means to kill other cultivators and steal their Demonic Cores," Yuwen Tianhe said slowly.
"In the competition, no matter what method is used, it is not against the rules," the Bi Clan Leader said.
Yuwen Tianhe nodded.
"Therefore, my request now is to fight with Fang Chen before I'm grounded," Yuwen Tianhe said sinisterly. "Regardless of life or death."
Yuwen Tianhe's hatred for Fang Chen soared to the sky.
If he couldn't kill him, it would become his inner demon and hinder his cultivation.
Therefore, before he was grounded, he had to kill him.
The Void Ocean City Lord pondered for a moment and looked at the Bi Clan Leader.
The latter nodded in agreement.
"Fang Chen, do you agree?" the Void Ocean City Lord asked.
A battle of life and death had to be agreed upon by both parties.
"Fang Chen, if you're a man, fight me to the death." Yuwen Tianhe used words to provoke Fang Chen, fearing that he would be too timid to agree.
Hearing that, Fang Chen said, "I don't want to kill you."
Fang Chen's words caused the spectators below to be astonished.
Wang Kui and the others frowned, thinking that Fang Chen was being too arrogant.
"Hmph, he just got lucky and obtained eight thousand demon cores. What's so great about that?" sneered Wang Kui.
"That's right. If I were to kill other martial artists like crazy, not to mention eight thousand, I would be able to get ten thousand. But I don't want to do that." Li Tang said.
Feng Bing looked at Fang Chen with disgust and said nothing.
The crowd was discussing Fang Chen.
The Bi Family Patriarch also looked at him thoughtfully.
"Fang Chen, I, Yuwen Tianhe, will fight you to the death. If you don't agree, then you're a coward," said Yuwen Tianhe coldly.
Being called a coward infuriated Fang Chen.
"If you want to die, I can help you."
Fang Chen agreed to the battle.
The Bi Family Patriarch laughed. He also wanted to see what ability this Fang Chen had to be able to obtain eight thousand demon cores.
"Alright, then let's fight in the plaza."
After saying that, the Bi Family Patriarch's figure flashed and he returned to Qingyi City.
Many cultivators followed closely behind and arrived at the square.
The eight heavenly geniuses had also arrived. Their faces were filled with disdain.
Fang Chen and Yuwen Tianhe stood on the martial stage.
"I'll be the referee for this battle." The Bi Family Patriarch smiled.
It had been a long time since he had encountered something so interesting. He was very happy.
The Lord of Void Sea City sighed inwardly. After this battle, no matter the result, Void Sea City would lose a genius martial artist.
"Fang Chen, in today's battle, I, Yuwen Tianhe, will wash away the shame."
Fang Chen didn't want to talk nonsense.
"Hmph, pretentious."
Seeing Fang Chen's calm expression, the prodigy playing with the beads sneered.
"This person must have used many tricks to obtain eight thousand demon cores. He must have killed many martial artists."
"What's so great about killing ordinary martial artists? If he has the ability, let him fight with us."
Zhou Hong, the leader of the eight heavenly geniuses, narrowed his eyes and looked at the martial stage.
Many martial artists were eagerly waiting for the battle between the two.
Boom!
Yuwen Tianhe made the first move.
After all, he was once one of the eight heavenly geniuses. His strength was extraordinary.
Rumble!
The overbearing attack pierced through the void and blasted toward Fang Chen in a menacing manner.
"Yuwen Tianhe is very strong."
"Although he was squeezed out of the eight heavenly geniuses, his strength is unquestionable."
"Fang Chen is doomed in this battle."
Even some Heavenly Body Tier elders thought that Fang Chen wouldn't be able to defeat Yuwen Tianhe.
However, just as Fang Chen made his move, they were shocked.
Using the True Meaning of Time and Space, Fang Chen's figure kept flickering.
In an instant, he dodged Yuwen Tianhe's fierce attack.
"En, space-type True Meaning!"
Seeing Fang Chen dodge, the Bi Clan Leader said faintly.
No wonder Fang Chen dared to accept the challenge. It turned out that he had such a powerful True Meaning.
However, the shock had just begun.
After Fang Chen used the True Meaning of Time and Space, his figure kept dodging, causing Yuwen Tianhe's attack to miss.
Then, he waved his hand, and a thick aura appeared in the sky.
In the next moment, the rank four formation was successfully set up.
Bang!
Yuwen Tianhe's attack fiercely crashed into the rank four formation and was instantly trapped.
Peng, peng, peng!
Once again trapped in the formation, Yuwen Tianhe crazily bombarded the formation, but couldn't break it open.
"Fang Chen, if you have the guts, remove the formation and let us fight fair and square!"
Yuwen Tianhe roared furiously.
However, Fang Chen ignored him.
At this moment, the whole square was in an uproar.
Even the 36 city lords on the platform and the Heavenly Body Tier elders of the Bi Clan were shocked.
"Rank four formation!"
Everyone looked at Fang Chen in disbelief.
To be able to set up a rank four formation so easily at such a young age, this boy was definitely a formation dao genius.
The Bi Clan Leader looked at Fang Chen with a smile, and thought to himself, "His attainments in formations are not bad, but I wonder how his battle prowess is."
Among the eight heavenly geniuses, some cultivators looked serious, speechless.
And some cultivators still had mocking expressions.
"What's so great about relying on formations? If I fought him, he wouldn't even have time to set up a formation."
"That's right. In front of absolute power, formations are not worth mentioning."
"If it were Young Master Zhou, he'd probably shatter this formation with a slap."
A few heavenly geniuses flattered Zhou Hong while they were at it.
As for Zhou Hong, his expression changed, and a hint of killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Yuwen Tianhe was trapped in the formation and had sunk into madness.
Meanwhile, Fang Chen looked at the platform.
"Can the battle end now?" Fang Chen asked.
The 36 city lords woke up from their shock.
Then, they sighed with emotion.
As for the Bi Clan Leader, he looked at Fang Chen in astonishment.
"The two of you are engaged in a battle of life and death. One of you must die to end the battle," the Bi Clan Leader said.
Fang Chen shook his head, unwilling to fight.
Against a cultivator weaker than himself, he couldn't be bothered to fight.
Fang Chen fell silent.
The Bi Clan Leader saw all of this. It seemed that this boy wasn't as fierce as the rumors said.
Furthermore, as a four-star God Movement Master, he could easily obtain eight thousand Demonic Cores.
Fang Chen removed the formation, and Yuwen Tianhe, who had sunk into madness, was freed from the formation.
His hair was disheveled, and he looked at Fang Chen with a ferocious expression.
"Fang Chen, why didn't you attack? Are you looking down on me?"
Yuwen Tianhe roared.
"Yuwen Tianhe, that's enough," the Void Ocean City Lord said coldly.
Fang Chen had let him go in the battle of life and death.
Otherwise, he would have become a corpse.
"Fang Chen, I admit that your formation is very strong. I'm not your match."
Yuwen Tianhe was possessed. "But I won't thank you for showing mercy. Just you wait. A thousand years later, I, Yuwen Tianhe, will kill you with my own hands."
After Yuwen Tianhe finished speaking, he went straight to the teleportation formation and returned to Void Ocean City.
"Fang Chen, thank you for showing mercy," the Void Ocean City Lord said with cupped fists.
Fang Chen smiled faintly and walked down the martial arts stage.
After today's battle, Fang Chen's name resounded throughout Qingyi City.
Countless martial artists looked at him with their mouths agape.
The attitude of the martial artists who had mocked him changed greatly.
Their eyes were filled with respect.
He could have used the formation to kill Yuwen Tianhe, but he didn't.
With such a temperament, how could he kill the innocent?
In the crowd, many people were shouting Fang Chen's name.
The Bi Clan Leader stood up, looked at Fang Chen, and asked, "Fang Chen, you let Yuwen Tianhe go. Aren't you afraid of his revenge a thousand years later?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen stopped and said softly, "I can suppress him now. A thousand years later, I can still suppress him."
Fang Chen's words were full of confidence.
Seeing this, the Bi Clan Leader grinned.
This Fang Chen was to his liking.
At the edge of the platform, Zhou Hong, the leader of the Eight Prodigies, saw this scene and wanted to kill Fang Chen.
The first round of the competition ended. Fang Chen won first place with a dazzling result.
Moreover, he was a powerful Four-Star Divine Array Master.
Once this news was released, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
Another prodigy had appeared out of nowhere?
There were even some busybodies who placed Fang Chen in the ranks of the geniuses, calling him the ninth genius.
In short, every corner of Qingyi City was talking about Fang Chen's deeds.
Bi Qingqing, who was in the Bi Clan's residence, was very excited when she heard the news.
Her face was full of smiles. Her delicate body moved, and she happily danced in the courtyard.
Her perfect body, coupled with her elegant dance steps, made people dumbfounded. Unfortunately, there was no one to appreciate it.
"I knew you wouldn't let me down," Bi Qingqing said.
Just as Bi Qingqing was about to start dancing, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Qingqing, what made you so happy?"
