Chapter 75: Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon
After speaking, the Boy in Gold produced a crimson sword blazing with fiery light. The weapon floated autonomously in mid-air, its blade pulsing with scarlet sword beams while emanating a fierce bloodthirsty aura – unmistakably a Flying Sword forged by a Demonic Path sect!
Though demonic in nature, the sword’s craftsmanship remained impeccable, ranking at least mid Second-tier. Even if unusable personally, it could fetch over a hundred thousand spirit stones!
While pocket change for Inner Elite Disciples, this amount represented a fortune to ordinary outer sect members, requiring years of savings to accumulate.
A youth standing nearby on a bronze warship immediately stepped forward, declaring, "Brother, leave this to me! I’ll discipline this arrogant fool!"
The impetuous challenger rushed to the Referee, paid ten thousand spirit stones, and vaulted onto the Arena platform.
The Boy in Gold recognized his cousin Jin Chengzu. Though less gifted than himself, the youth still possessed considerable talent. His bronze warship spanned over thirty meters – a third-rank treasure formidable in both offense and defense. Within the Qi Sea realm, this vessel could dominate any battlefield.
Jin Chengzu had been guaranteed victory in the Outer Sect Competition, but had answered his elder cousin’s summons for support. Never did he expect Fang Lie’s insolence would provoke such valuable bounty – an opportunity too lucrative to ignore.
Confident in his warship’s might, Jin Chengzu paid the spirit stones and immediately steered his bronze vessel toward the platform, charging directly at Fang Lie while taunting: "Hear that, whelp? My Big Brother sent me to teach you the vastness of heavens and earth!"
Faced with such bluster, Fang Lie simply unfurled his Divine Phoenix Wings and surged forward.
Jin Chengzu grinned at his opponent’s apparent recklessness. If you’d kept fleeing with those wings, I might’ve struggled to catch you. But facing me head-on? You’ve signed your death warrant!
The youth poured energy into his warship, envisioning Fang Lie’s demise. This third-rank treasure could shatter mountains! What chance has flesh against its might?
Yet as collision seemed inevitable, a massive star materialized from nowhere to strike the bronze prow. The briefest hesitation followed – mere eyeblink’s duration.
This fractional pause proved decisive. Empowered by Divine Phoenix Wings, Fang Lie lightning-dodged the warship’s charge, materializing before his shocked opponent.
No mercy awaited the sneering challenger. Fang Lie’s palm cracked across Jin Chengzu’s cheek with brutal force. Even without activating Explosion Qi Technique, the strike carried three hundred zhang of Qi Sea power enhanced by martial mastery.
The audience witnessed Jin Chengzu transform into a spinning top, whirling through air for ten meters before crashing earthward. Dazed and disoriented, the youth spat broken teeth as he struggled to rise – only for Fang Lie’s boot to slam his face into the platform stones.
"Seems your man failed to demonstrate heaven’s height or earth’s depth," Fang Lie coldly mocked the golden-clad spectator below. A contemptuous kick sent Jin Chengzu tumbling offstage.
The crowd erupted in roaring applause:
"Single strike victory! Absolute domination!"
"They came to teach lessons but became the joke!"
"All bark and no bite – shattered like cheap pottery!"
"I haven’t seen anything this laughable in years! All that arrogant talk about teaching someone a lesson, only to get smacked down like swatting a fly! I wonder how he’ll show his face in public after this!"
The Boy in Gold trembled with rage. He’d lost the verbal duel to Fang Lie, his dispatched lackey had become a joke, and now this humiliating defeat? Was this supposed to be a lesson for Fang Lie, or had he just become the other’s stepping stone?
The crowd’s jeers echoed around them, while the other two youths – the Boy in Yellow and his companion – barely concealed their glee.
These rivals had schemed against each other for years over Zhen Hong Yi’s favor, neither gaining ground. But today, the Boy in Gold’s public disgrace sparked an idea in the Boy in Yellow. *If my subordinate defeats Fang Lie now, it’ll prove I’m superior to this golden fool. I’ll never let him live it down!*
Seizing the moment, the Boy in Yellow sneered, "Jin family’s eldest! No wonder you’re useless – look at these pathetic underlings! Can’t even handle trivial matters properly. Step aside and watch how it’s done!"
He snapped his fingers. "Little Tang! Crush Fang Lie and you’ll get any second-rank treasure from my vault!"
The pale, wiry youth perked up. His bizarre mount – a fifteen-foot six-armed mechanical puppet ape gleaming in white metal – seemed to grow taller. "Easy, cousin! My Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon will sweep this trash away!"
As Little Tang headed to the Referee with spirit stones, the Boy in Yellow taunted Fang Lie: "Brace yourself, fool! My cousin will beat the piss out of you!"
"Another windbag," Fang Lie snorted. "What’ll you do when he’s the one shitting himself?"
"If you make Little Tang soil himself, I’ll eat it before the crowd!" the Boy in Yellow shot back, immediately regretting his words as spectators murmured.
Meanwhile, Little Tang methodically unloaded six puppets from his Sumeru Bags. Frontline bronze-armored puppet warriors brandished door-sized blades. Behind them, earth-element spider puppets the size of wagons clicked spear-like legs, their obsidian fangs glinting poisonously. The rear held two specialized units – one with a coffin-like multi-arrow launcher, the other wielding a crackling lightning cannon.
Combined with his ape mount, they formed Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon.
"Each puppet bears second-rank treasures," Little Tang announced smugly. "Together they rival Golden Pool realm cultivators. Spare yourself the beating – apologize and we’ll call it settled."
The clever youth knew Fang Lie’s status as Great Pill Master and candidate Token Lord of Benevolence warranted caution. But he’d misjudged his opponent’s iron will – for true heroes charge ahead even when defeat seems certain.
