Chapter 2442: Chapter 2442: Arrogance
The duels among the Golden Crow Palace disciples happen almost daily, but a duel between prodigies is a rare sight.
Thus, the duel between Chiyang Immortal King and Fang Bai attracted a large crowd of Golden Crow Palace disciples to watch.
The Golden Crow Palace disciples are very familiar with Chiyang Immortal King, knowing he is the youngest Seventh Grade Immortal King Realm expert in the history of the Golden Crow Palace and one of the prodigies most valued by the upper echelons.
However, Chiyang Immortal King’s character is divisive in the Golden Crow Palace; he has many fellow disciples he gets along with, but just as many who dislike him.
Especially among the female disciples of the Golden Crow Palace, Chiyang Immortal King is notorious.
The reason is that Chiyang Immortal King likes to flirt with beautiful and talented female disciples, and once successful, he quickly loses interest and heartlessly abandons them.
This is precisely why Chiyang Immortal King’s frequent courtship of Liuyan Fairy is constantly rejected.
With Liuyan Fairy’s high standards and proud nature, how could she be willing to become an immortal couple with a man like Chiyang Immortal King who has such poor character?
As for Fang Bai, the disciples of the Golden Crow Palace are not familiar with him.
But soon, they learned that this young junior in white was the newly accepted direct disciple of the Vice Palace Master Yanshi Immortal Emperor, who had just used his Sixth Grade Immortal King Realm cultivation to withstand two attacks from Chiyang Immortal King, causing the latter, who wanted to establish his prestige, to lose face greatly.
The gathered Golden Crow Palace disciples believed that Chiyang Immortal King’s full-force strike had the power equivalent to an Eighth Grade Immortal King’s attack, and that the Wushuang Immortal King would likely suffer a huge loss.
The events in the valley also caught the attention of some Golden Crow Palace high-level figures, but they were already accustomed to such incidents and did not specially intervene.
"Come on, Junior Brother Wushuang!"
Many female disciples at the scene disliked Chiyang Immortal King but had a favorable first impression of Fang Bai. Even before the fight began, they were already cheering sweetly to express their support for Fang Bai.
"Senior Brother Chiyang, show him some color!"
"Cripple him with one strike! As long as his Qi Sea isn’t destroyed, it should be fine!"
"Come on! Don’t disgrace us senior disciples!"
...
Seeing the palace’s female disciples supporting Fang Bai, the male disciples watching felt a surge of jealousy, which naturally made them hostile toward Fang Bai, leading most to support Chiyang Immortal King.
Moreover, in their eyes, a newcomer like Fang Bai should be modest and low-key; however, he had provoked Chiyang Immortal King, which seemed a bit ostentatious. If not disciplined, who would control him in the future?
"Junior Brother Wushuang, don’t blame me, your senior brother, for being ruthless! Blame yourself for not knowing what’s good for you!"
Chiyang Immortal King sneered, and amidst the cheers of many Golden Crow Palace male disciples, he finally made his move.
He unleashed a punch, gathering the raging battle flames from his entire body to the fist’s tip, transforming into a massive fire dragon with claws and teeth bared, aggressively pouncing towards Fang Bai.
In the eyes of Golden Crow Palace disciples, Chiyang Immortal King’s punch had utilized full strength, and once Fang Bai was consumed by the fire dragon, he would undoubtedly suffer severe damage.
Liuyan Fairy raised her eyebrows, her eyes fixed on Fang Bai, ready to intervene at any sign of trouble.
What surprised many Golden Crow Palace disciples was that facing Chiyang Immortal King’s full-force strike, Fang Bai’s face showed no fear nor any defensive posture.
"Arrogant!"
Seeing this, Chiyang Immortal King coldly snorted, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
The massive fire dragon seemed to pierce through the void, instantly crossing dozens of feet of space, appearing before Fang Bai, opening its mouth wide to devour him.
"Scram!"
Fang Bai shouted, raising his hand to launch a punch.
His punched-out massive fireball, like a falling star, carried endless immortal power, faster than lightning, unstoppable.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded as the rapidly flying fireball entered the fire dragon’s wide open mouth and emerged from its tail.
Under the astonished gazes of Golden Crow Sect disciples, the massive fire dragon, condensed from Fire Immortal Qi, collapsed with a "bang," leaving only wisps of flame.
The fireball, not losing momentum, whistled towards Chiyang Immortal King.
Chiyang Immortal King, witnessing his all-out punch fail to threaten Fang Bai, was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
In his moment of stupor, the massive fireball had already come right at him.
In truth, after breaking the fire dragon, the fireball’s momentum had greatly diminished, unable to threaten Chiyang Immortal King.
Chiyang Immortal King waved his big hand, shattering the fireball.
However, Fang Bai’s second attack followed closely behind the first fireball, crashing in.
This time, it was also a fire dragon, larger and more ferocious than the one Chiyang Immortal King had previously conjured, enveloped in blazing flames even more scorching.
"How... How is this possible..."
Seeing the fire dragon rapidly enlarging in his eyes and feeling its overwhelming force, Chiyang Immortal King was shocked.
He couldn’t fathom how this newly joined junior, clearly just a Sixth Grade Immortal King Realm cultivator, could unleash battle power surpassing his own full-force strike as a Seventh Grade Immortal King Realm expert.
Could it be he possessed the ability to challenge across two minor realms?
If so, his prowess surpassed most prodigies in the world, marking him as an exceptional talent!
These thoughts fleetingly crossed Chiyang Immortal King’s mind as he gathered immortal power, launching a counterattack with both fists to shatter the oncoming fire dragon just like Fang Bai did earlier.
Fang Bai smirked, a glint of coldness in his eyes.
He harbored resentment towards Golden Crow Palace disciples, and with Chiyang Immortal King challenging him, how could he be polite?
Chiyang Immortal King aimed to teach him a lesson, but Fang Bai had similar intentions.
Were it not for being cautious at the Golden Crow Palace, Fang Bai might have unleashed his full strength, potentially killing Chiyang Immortal King.
Fang Bai joined Golden Crow Palace with the ultimate goal of getting close to the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and seeking information on Linghu Qianjiao.
To get close to the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, he first needed to attract attention from the Golden Crow Palace high-levels, so from the moment Fang Bai joined, he decided to act high-profile, challenging the Palace’s prodigies without exposing Emperor’s Palace Immortal Technique secrets, defeating them one by one to make his name known.
Chiyang Immortal King willingly walked into the trap, so Fang Bai planned to use him as a stepping stone to fame.
Although Chiyang Immortal King’s cultivation is one minor realm higher than Fang Bai’s and he holds the ability to challenge higher, Fang Bai’s battle power exceeds his by no small measure.
