Chapter Twenty-One Lowering One's Head

  Wang Xingchen was not one to belittle himself, but facing the Qingxuan in front of him, his strength that he took pride in among his peers was not worth mentioning! He had superior talent among the ancient sect disciples, but the Qingxuan in front of him was the number one young master! This was not a difference in title, but a difference in strength! Wang Xingchen had never crossed hands with Qingxuan before, but Tiangang had fought against Qingxuan two years ago. Although Wang Xingchen did not see it himself, the injuries that Tiangang sustained after the battle left him shocked!

  His body is covered in wounds and he's on the verge of death!!

  All along, in Wang Xingchen's heart, Tiangou was invincible! At least among the younger generation, those who could defeat Tiangou were countable on one hand! But that battle overturned Wang Xingchen's view, making him personally feel what "beyond the mountain is another mountain" meant.

  Although, in that one war, Qing Xuan was also injured, but compared to Tian Ge, it was much lighter! It was from that one war onwards that Tian Ge changed his previous showy and arrogant attitude, becoming "depressed" and drinking to drown his sorrows at the Summit Inn.

  Heavenly Tiger's gaze was fixed on Qing Xuan, he didn't say a word, his expression calm and unruffled, not even slightly annoyed by Qing Xuan's words! Not to mention any other negative emotions stirring! For the past two years, he had been drowning his sorrows in drink, wasting away his days, but it couldn't be denied that his mental state had reached a high level! Although wary of Qing Xuan, he didn't fear him!

  Feeling Tian Ge's gaze, the stiffness on his face disappeared, and he suddenly smiled, a very bright smile. His eyes slowly moved away from Qing Xuan's body, looking forward, his pupils slowly expanding. Tian Ge seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, but suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, staring at Qing Xuan again: "Perhaps, I am indeed not qualified to fight you now! Perhaps, in your eyes, I am no longer as arrogant as before, but Qing Xuan! You also disappointed me!"

  The sound of Tian Ge suddenly rose, and his sharp eyes stared at Qing Xuan's deep and profound eyes.

  "Tiangou, I didn't come here today to discuss the changes between us over the past two years! Hand over the Barbarian Heaven!!" Qingxuan remained unmoved by Tiangou's words, still gazing at him with a calm and collected expression.

  "You've changed, you've become stronger, but your heart remains the same! To be honest, in my eyes, you're not even qualified to fight me!" Tian Gang smiled calmly.

  "Mental state? Ha ha, what is mental state worth? In the Southern Barbarian region, what matters is power, who has the greater power! Not whose mental state is deeper! According to what you said, your mental state has improved over these two years, then what about your actual strength? Back then, I was able to defeat you, a four-star Blood Warrior, with just my two-star Blood Warrior strength! Two years later, I have stepped into the seven-star Blood Warrior realm! And you are still at the four-star Blood Warrior level, this is what you call mental state?" Qing Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly smiled at Tian Gang.

  Wang Xingchen, Wu Long, and Li Hong sucked in cold air, looking at Qingxuan with a mixture of shock and fear. Their gaze was completely different from before. Until now, they had only heard rumors about Qingxuan's notorious reputation, but when the words came out of his own mouth, it left them speechless.

  Two years, a brief two years, from Second-Rank Blood Character to Seventh-Rank Blood Character!! Is there really such an abnormal person in the world?

  Tempering the body is different from Blood Aspects, there are seven types of Blood Aspects, which means the degree to which one excavates the blood vessels in their body. To have reached the seventh type of Blood Aspect means that his excavation of the power of the blood vessels has already reached an extreme point! He's only one step away from being able to stir up the awakening of the blood vessels! At that time, Qing Xuan's name will surely shake the Southern Barbarians!

  His expression remained unchanged by Qing Xuan's words, and his gaze once again looked towards the distant horizon. Tian Ge suddenly muttered to himself: "You are my mountain beyond mountains; perhaps in this world there will be others who will also be your mountain beyond mountains! Cultivation has no bounds, and in the long years of cultivation, only a heart that is eternal can control your path forward. Today, you may be able to soar to great heights, but perhaps one day you will come to a standstill; at that time, you may understand my words today."

  Tian Ge's muttering seemed to be saying to Qing Xuan, but also seemed to be saying to himself, and as if warning Wang Xingchen and the other two.

  Memories flooded back to two years ago when Tiān Gǎng was beaten by Qīng Xuán to the brink of death! After being rescued by Zhuō Fēng Peak's master, Tiān Gǎng had a burning sense of resentment and determination in his heart. It was then that Zhuō Fēng Peak's master's words awakened him, washing away the sharp edges from his body. From then on, Tiān Gǎng truly transformed.

  And these words were exactly what Tian Chan said at this time!

  There are people outside of people, and mountains beyond mountains! This world has countless geniuses emerging one after another, but those who can truly attain the position of Emperor are extremely rare!

  Genius is temporary, but heart is eternal!

  Tian Ya's words caused a ripple to appear on Qing Xuan's face, and although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but be shocked by Tian Ya's words. He had heard these words from his master before, but as a young and arrogant man, he had never taken the time to reflect on them. Now, hearing them again from his former opponent made Qing Xuan unable to help but rethink.

  Mental state. Is it really more important than actual strength? Qing Xuan's eyes became somewhat unfocused.

  Soon, Qing Xuan's gaze became firm once again. He was able to enter the seventh rank of Blood Refining in just two short years, and it wasn't just because of his extraordinary talent, but also because he had a resolute heart.

  "No matter if I'll be stuck in the future, but today, no matter what, I must take down Mantian!" Qing Xuan said sternly.

  "I've already apologized to Rain Lin! What else should I do?" The barbarian's icy words came through!

  Wang Xingchen's face changed, and he turned his head to look at the approaching Man Tian and Hao Teng. His facial muscles twitched as he stared at Hao Teng, who held up his hands in a helpless gesture, as if telling the four Heavenly Guards that he was also powerless. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Guard looked at Man Tian without any surprise, as if he had already expected him to come. However, there was a hint of comfort and sorrow in his eyes. He knew that one could hide for a while, but not forever. With Qing Xuan's prestige, all it would take was one word to make Man Tian appear.

  "What should we do? You tell us what to do!" Qing Xuan's gaze shifted and he stared at the approaching Man Tian, saying sternly.

  "I've already apologized, what more do you want? Are you saying I should die to atone for my sin?" Mo Tian stopped beside Tian Ge, his eyes fixed on Qing Xuan, coldly saying. These past few days, the matters surrounding Yu Ling had been making Mo Tian feel increasingly irritated.

  Standing in front of Qing Xuan, Man Tian had already sensed the powerful aura emanating from within Qing Xuan's body. This aura caused Man Tian's mind to tremble with fear! It shocked Man Tian to his core.

  "Haha, kill you? Easy as lifting a hand! Don't think that Zuo Feng can protect you, I'm going to kill you, Gu Zong won't have any second thoughts!" Qing Xuan stared at Man Tian.

  As Qing Xuan said, Qing Xuan killed Man Tian, and no one in Gu Zong dared to do anything about it. Even if Luo Lao stepped forward, it would be of no use. One was a demonic star, the other an ordinary disciple; Gu Zong wouldn't possibly punish him for killing an ordinary disciple.

  Eyes met, sparks flew in all directions.

  Feeling the confidence in Qingxuan's words, Man Tian was enraged. He was truly furious because he had realized that "Zen" made his heart and mind close to the word "Zen", but the suppressed "demon" nature in his heart burst out at this moment. In an instant, he wanted to take someone's life. Because he had forced a kiss on Yu Ting, he would lose his life. He had already apologized, yet he still wanted to die to atone for his sin! This made Man Tian's anger reach the sky.

  "No need to be angry, if Yu Lin wants you dead, you will definitely die! No one can stop it!" Qing Xuan said calmly, and then continued: "Is it yourself going with me to Pan Nie Peak, or do I have to take you down?"

  Wang Xingchen and several others were furious upon hearing this, but Tian Ge was about to say something when he was stopped by Man Tian. All they heard was Man Tian saying in a low voice: "I have already apologized to Yu Qingxian face-to-face, if I still need to apologize, I can go! But I don't want to die, no one can take my life!" Man Tian's words came from the heart, he didn't know what kind of realm Qing Xuan had entered, but looking at the expressions of Tian Ge and several others, he knew that Qing Xuan was very strong, strong enough to make Man Tian unable to resist, strong enough to make Tian Ge and others unable to match.

  "There are some things in the world that aren't about whether you want to or not, but once you've done them, you must pay the price!" Qing Xuan said calmly, and then his gaze sharpened: "Follow me!"

  "Even an ant has its own dignity, Qing Xuan, you've gone too far!" Tian Ge said in a low voice, his fists clenched tightly, a killing intent bursting out from between his eyebrows.

  "Master Tian! I'll go with him!" The body of Man Tian shook violently, his face flushed red, he took a deep breath and shouted hysterically.

  Even an ant has dignity! Mo Tian is not an ant, but facing absolute power, he had to bow his head. He didn't want to implicate the Five Heavenly Kings!

  Wang Xingchen and the other four exchanged a glance, all with a sorrowful expression. They had the intention to protect Man Tian, but facing Qing Xuan, they were unable to stop him, nor could they stop him.

  This is the gap in strength! This is survival of the fittest.

  "I'll go with you!" Tian Ge struggled for a moment before saying in a low voice.

  "I'm going too!"

  "I'm going too!"

  Wang Xingchen and three others also expressed their indignation.

  Qing Xuan coldly laughed and didn't say a word, even if Tian Can and five others followed him, it wouldn't change anything.
