Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 776 Setting a Trap

The purpose of the banquet for Chang Qiang was for the Tyrant Emperor Pearl, which is precisely one of the Great Medicines required to treat Weng Nanqing.

Chang Qiang glanced at Pan Shaoyue with the corner of his eye and said indifferently, "I heard you’ve just been honored as the top person of the Founding King Court?"

With a smile, Pan Shaoyue replied, "It’s just the top of Xuanhe Star."

Chang Qiang, however, sneered, "Yet when your Tian Hong Sect was boasting, there were no such limitations mentioned. All I heard was accolades of our sect disciple as the top of the Founding King Court, which is utterly nonsensical!"

Pan Shaoyue’s face showed a slight change, as this was a direct mockery to his face!

However, since he needed something from others, it was not convenient for him to lose his temper.

"If you want the Tyrant Emperor Pearl, that can be arranged," Chang Qiang said blandly, "These junior brothers of mine don’t acknowledge your title of ’top of the Founding King Court’ and would like to challenge you. If you can defeat them all, I will give you the Tyrant Emperor Pearl, otherwise, hmm!"

Otherwise, he would widely publicize Pan Shaoyue’s defeat.

What ’top of the Founding King Court’, pah!

After a moment of contemplation, Pan Shaoyue simply nodded, "Fine."

Firstly, for his idol, he naturally feared no battle. Secondly, as a disciple of the great Tian Hong Sect, could he not suppress other sects’ non-disciples in a fight of the same rank?

Did they really think his title as the top of the Xuanhe Star’s Founding King Court was just hot air?

Now, everyone stopped eating and drinking and walked outside.

With two Path Protectors present, no matter how fierce the fight at the Founding King Court got, it couldn’t cause much destruction. So, there was no need to change locations, they would just fight outside.

"I’ll go first." A young man dressed in purple stepped forward, giving Pan Shaoyue a proud smile, "I am Xue Qi." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Please," Pan Shaoyue responded with the poise of a Great Sect’s disciple, cupping his hands towards his opponent.

"Take this!" With a light rebuke, Xue Qi drew his sword and slashed at Pan Shaoyue.

As soon as he made his move, Shi Hao was sure that Xue Qi was no match for Pan Shaoyue, though the gap wasn’t huge.

Indeed, after no more than a hundred moves, Pan Shaoyue had already overwhelmed his opponent and seemed to be handling it with ease.

Yet, Xue Qi had no intention of admitting defeat, struggling with all his might against Pan Shaoyue.

This caused Shi Hao to frown—could it be that they were planning to defeat Pan Shaoyue with a war of attrition?

Xue Qi’s goal wasn’t to defeat Pan Shaoyue at all, but to exhaust his strength as much as possible.

Pan Shaoyue also realized this and suddenly intensified his offensive, intending to defeat Xue Qi swiftly.

Once he sped up the pace, Xue Qi indeed couldn’t withstand it. After another fifty moves, he admitted defeat.

However, there wasn’t a hint of dismay in him; rather, he was arrogantly dismissive, "So, this is the top person of Xuanhe Star’s Founding King Court, huh? Heh, mediocre at best."

This caused Pan Shaoyue’s face to change, filled with anger and even a killing intent.

Keep in mind, you are guests here. This is Tian Hong Sect’s turf. Is such insolence really wise?

But, a second challenger immediately stepped up to face Pan Shaoyue.

This person’s strength was comparable to Xue Qi’s, but his fighting style was somewhat despicable, aiming for a mutually destructive outcome with every move.

Certainly, Pan Shaoyue couldn’t afford to perish along with his opponent, neither could he kill him outright. Thus, the battle became even more prolonged, and only after more than three hundred moves did he find an opening to defeat his adversary.

However, merely after two bouts, Pan Shaoyue had already expended a great deal of strength, and his endurance was seriously waning.

After two more fights, Pan Shaoyue also won two more consecutive victories, but by then his condition had deteriorated significantly.

The first four fighters were engaging in wars of attrition, all to create conditions for the fifth person to defeat Pan Shaoyue.

—After all, Pan Shaoyue’s title as Xuanhe Star’s top person in the Founding King Court wasn’t self-proclaimed; his strength was evident. Hence, despite his disdainful words, Chang Qiang had shamelessly targeted him.

When the fifth person took the stage, Pan Shaoyue was not only unable to gain the upper hand, but he even showed signs of exhaustion.

Because the fifth person was the strongest among the Five Great Founding King Courts, and Pan Shaoyue had exhausted too much energy previously, his combat power plummeted rapidly. Thus, as he weakened and the other strengthened, the scales of victory began to tilt.

Pan Shaoyue’s tenacity was extremely strong. As a disciple of cultivation, even if he was pushed to his limits, he would fight until the very last moment.

However, his opponent was truly too powerful, and he had also exhausted too much energy.

After more than eight hundred moves, Pan Shaoyue finally ran out of strength, unable to make another move, and could only helplessly admit defeat.

His opponent was not much better off, breathing heavily, looking as though a mere breeze could knock them down.

After all, Pan Shaoyue, taking on five in a row, had almost completely defeated his opponents.

"Hahaha!" Chang Qiang burst into laughter, "Pan Shaoyue, this is all the strength you have, and yet you dare to claim you’re the number one in the Founding King Court? Therefore, before you mention this title again in the future, think of your defeat today."

Pan Shaoyue remained silent, unwilling to speak. Although he had been defeated in a succession of battles, a loss was a loss—making excuses would just mean he couldn’t accept defeat.

But deep down, he really couldn’t accept it.

When the other party agreed to make a deal with him, there was no sincerity at all, their goal was precisely this moment.

"Let’s go." Chang Qiang stood up, "A defeated general has no right to sit in the presence of this cultivator!"

"Wait!" Shi Hao spoke, his face darkened.

"You, a nobody, also dare to speak to me face to face?" Chang Qiang displayed a look of disdain.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "If you can block one of my moves, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’ll kneel down and apologize to Pan Shaoyue."

"Hahaha!" Chang Qiang laughed wildly, "This is absurd, you, a nameless underling, dare to gamble with me, a cultivator?"

Shi Hao paid him no attention and directly reached out to grab Chang Qiang.

"You’ve got some nerve!" Chang Qiang sneered and threw a punch toward Shi Hao.

Boom—a terrifying pressure came forth, and Chang Qiang was powerless to resist. His knees buckled, and he started to kneel toward the ground.

"No!" His eyes reddened, and he let out a roar.

He, a noble disciple of cultivation, how could he kneel? And worse, to kneel in the direction of Pan Shaoyue.

Regardless of how fiercely he struggled, his body continued to lower.

He naturally did not believe that this was Shi Hao’s doing, but rather the work of Pan Shaoyue’s Path Protector, acting through Shi Hao.

"Uncle Qin!" he called out, his face full of murderous intent.

Well then, the Tian Hong Sect actually dared to humiliate him like this—were they trying to start a war?

He was not afraid!

Because the Tian Hong Sect’s Heaven Building Ladder had not stepped into the Absolute Summit, while their Chiyang Sect’s former Sect Master was a Peerless Great Ability.

The gap between the Absolute Summit and non-Absolute Summit was too large.

Chang Qiang’s Path Protector immediately took action, reaching out to grab Shi Hao.

Pan Shaoyue’s Path Protector had been holding back for a long time. Seeing the other side make a move, he also didn’t hold back, laughing, "Li Qin, minor conflicts between the younger generation should be resolved by themselves, why intervene?"

What!

Li Qin was alarmed.

He had also thought that Shi Hao could suppress Chang Qiang because Pan Shaoyue’s Path Protector, Tang Xiang, was secretly taking action. But now, he had intervened, ’How could Tang Xiang still have the power to continue suppressing Chang Qiang?’

This didn’t make sense.
