Chapter 1949: Arrival at the Temple!
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback, then revealed a curious expression.
Interesting indeed!
It’s worth noting that with his current cultivation at the late stage of Nascent Soul peak, if he chooses to conceal his aura, not even the Primordial Ancestor of Huan Tian could detect him.
Yet unexpectedly, just as he arrived above The Temple, he was immediately noticed.
However, judging by their words, they seem to have only sensed his presence but could not pinpoint his location.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu smiled faintly, then his figure flickered, landing directly below.
In an instant, Zhou Yu appeared above The Temple.
And at the same time Zhou Yu appeared, the temple already had several figures converging from all directions, gathering before Zhou Yu.
Among these people were those with gray hair.
And those in their prime.
Yet without exception, all were Emperor Realm experts.
No fewer than twenty.
It must be said, this lineup alone is enough to crush all ancient forces.
As for the Mortal Martial Arts World, it’s completely incomparable!
At this moment, upon seeing Zhou Yu, these people also displayed a look of shock.
Clearly, they did not expect that the person appearing at The Temple would be such a young man.
After a short moment of shock, the leading elder had already recognized Zhou Yu.
His pupils slightly contracted, then he immediately showed a respectful expression.
"So it’s Mr. Zhou Yu, Mr. Zhou!"
Upon the elder’s words, the others also recognized Zhou Yu.
All at once, everyone’s eyes revealed shock once more.
Zhou Yu’s name was naturally familiar to them.
After all, he was once first on the Human List, later first on the Earth Ranking.
But later, Zhou Yu’s aura had completely disappeared from the rankings.
For this reason, The Temple had specially sent people to investigate, but it was discovered that Zhou Yu’s aura seemed intentionally concealed.
The Temple originally wanted to continue investigating, but coincidentally when the Power of Demon God descended, the Ancestor of the Dark Clan emerged, so they withdrew.
Unexpectedly, in just over half a year, when Zhou Yu appeared again, he had already become someone they couldn’t comprehend.
It’s imaginable how shocked they felt.
Facing the sudden appearance and incomprehensible Zhou Yu, these people from The Temple were extremely cautious.
The elder politely said:
"May I ask what brings Mr. Zhou to our temple!"
Zhou Yu looked at the person and said indifferently:
"Who are you?"
The elder immediately replied:
"I am the Hall Master of The Temple, Ji Baisheng!"
"Ah, the Hall Master Ji!"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said:
"I’ve always been curious about how your temple learns and publishes the three ranking lists."
"How about Hall Master Ji explains it to me."
Upon Zhou Yu’s words, the faces of these experts from The Temple all changed.
In the depths of Ji Baisheng’s eyes, a fleeting coldness flashed by.
But soon, he continued wearing a smiling face.
"Mr. Zhou, this is a top secret of our temple, taught by ancestral teachings, it must not be spread."
"Please understand, Mr. Zhou."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"What if I insist on knowing?"
Upon these words, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The experts from The Temple all couldn’t help showing a cold look, locking onto Zhou Yu.
Although they couldn’t sense Zhou Yu’s aura.
However, they were already figures standing at the pinnacle of this plane, regardless of how strong Zhou Yu was, how much stronger could he be.
Perceiving the change in aura of these people, Zhou Yu seemed unaware, still smiling faintly, looking at Ji Baisheng.
Ji Baisheng likewise showed a trace of anger.
He believed he had been polite enough to Zhou Yu, yet unexpectedly, this youngster was so unappreciative.
Ji Baisheng’s smiling face vanished abruptly, looking at Zhou Yu, he said:
"Mr. Zhou was first on the Human List, later became first on the Earth Ranking."
"Our temple is also quite curious about Mr. Zhou."
"Since we have the honor to meet today, how about we spar a bit and see where Mr. Zhou stands now."
Ji Baisheng’s words seemed like a polite inquiry for Zhou Yu’s opinion.
In reality, he had already resolved to kill.
Yet Zhou Yu maintained a calm smile.
"Alright."
"Since Hall Master Ji wants to test, I can oblige."
"However, we young ones sometimes can’t hold back, should you get hurt, do not blame me."
Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, the others in The Temple no longer concealed their killing intent.
All coldly stared at Zhou Yu.
Ji Baisheng also snorted coldly.
"Mr. Zhou’s words are quite bold."
"Since you’re so confident, then make your move!"
Zhou Yu waved his hand:
"Best if you go first."
"I’m afraid once I make my move, you won’t have a chance."
Upon hearing this, Ji Baisheng immediately snorted angrily.
"As you wish!"
After speaking, he directly mobilized his True Qi, fiercely punching towards Zhou Yu.
In the instant this punch was thrown, the powerful True Qi transformed into a bloodthirsty beast, blasting forward.
When an expert makes a move, it’s immediately apparent.
Ji Baisheng’s punch seemed simple and casual, yet in reality exploded with almost his entire combat power.
The power of this punch should not be much weaker than a full-on strike from the Doomsday Ancestor.
Looking across the Human Clan Plane.
Aside from Zhou Yu, surely no one could withstand this punch.
Even if the old man were alive, he’d probably be equal.
But Ji Baisheng was unlucky; he happened to encounter Zhou Yu.
Facing Ji Baisheng’s punch, Zhou Yu didn’t even move.
The terrifying punch reached a distance of one meter from Zhou Yu before suddenly disappearing without a trace.
It didn’t stir even a ripple.
Witnessing this, everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.
In an instant, all revealed a look of astonishment.
This... what’s going on?
Even Ji Baisheng himself was utterly stunned.
He imagined many possibilities.
Including Zhou Yu being severely injured by his punch, or Zhou Yu using some unseen secret treasure and secret technique to block it.
But he never considered such a ’calm’ scenario.
As everyone wore a dumbfounded expression, Zhou Yu spoke.
"Since Hall Master Ji has made his move, now it’s my turn!"
After finishing, Zhou Yu casually waved his hand.
In the next moment.
Buzz!
A terrifying pressure instantly descended.
Ji Baisheng, still dumbfounded, instantly snapped back to reality.
He distinctly felt, in the void, a terrifying attack descending.
He couldn’t even see what kind of attack it was.
But he sensed a deadly threat.
At this moment, Ji Baisheng’s face was filled with horror.
In a life-and-death crisis, he desperately mobilized his True Qi, even at the cost of burning his Essence Blood and utilizing secret techniques.
However, in the next moment.
Puff!
He fell to his knees without warning and spat out mouthfuls of blood.
At the same time, he hurriedly said:
"Mr. Zhou, please show mercy, I... concede..."
