The Second Collection - Misty Canyon Chapter 16: A War of Words

  "Fourteen, take him down with one shot!" Along with his angry shout, the long spear in his hand was shaken straight and fiercely stabbed towards Wang Guanlan.

  Great!

  Wang Guanlan cheered loudly.

  This young man was the one with the highest cultivation among those who came to challenge him, his martial arts cultivation had reached the sixth layer of refining Qi, not only did he have a solid foundation, but also possessed a strong aura, although it wasn't as powerful as Leng Han's aura, but among young people, it was rare, standing in mid-air, he seemed like an eagle swooping down to grab its prey, his aura charged forward with an unstoppable momentum.

  But how could he let this guy do whatever he wants in his own Five Elements Formation?

  A small flag in his hand swung down fiercely, and a thick earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking his way.

  Boom! Crack!

  The long spear pierced through the thick earthen wall, which was as thick as one zhang, and opened up a large hole in the wall. The young man's figure emerged from the hole in the earthen wall, but the momentum of the spear had clearly weakened at this point. Just when Wang Guanlan thought he no longer posed a threat, she saw the young man's right foot suddenly push off against the earthen wall behind him.

  Boom!

  A loud noise, the young man shot to Wang Guanlan's front like an arrow off the string. This time, Wang Guanlan didn't even have a chance to dodge, and the long spear was inserted directly into his body.

  All that was seen was a "wave" sound, and the young man's pupils suddenly enlarged, because Wang Guanlan's body, which had been pierced, seemed to shatter like an ice block.

  "Let me tell you a common sense, when you're trapped in an array, the one thing you can't trust is your eyes!" A voice with a hint of teasing came from beside Wang Guanlan's ear, followed by a severe pain that spread throughout his body, and he lost consciousness.

  Seeing the young master's body heavily falling to the ground, Li Mingfan and Lei Sanpao finally knew fear, or rather, they had some regrets.

  They would never have thought that Wang Guanlan was actually a formation master, and a rather powerful one at that. Once his formation was set up, it was simply not something they could contend with, and they immediately retreated in defeat.

  "I'd rather concede defeat!" Lei Sanpao hastily said, although he was reckless, this kind of thing that would definitely end in loss was something he wouldn't do.

  "I remember I said it, just for your previous sentence, I will also let you out horizontally, you won't forget, will you, Surname Lei!" Wang Guanlan didn't bother to pay attention to Li Mingfan, but instead turned his gaze towards Lei Sanpao.

  "Ah NP～" Lei Sanpao didn't expect Wang Guanlan to be such a vengeful person, and suddenly started regretting it, but there's no medicine for regret in this world.

  "Alright, since that's the case, let's settle this once and for all!" He raised his hand again, and three black iron balls appeared in his hands. However, he didn't throw them out immediately. Instead, he opened up his stance and charged straight towards the direction of the misty fog in the distance.

  "I just told this guy, in the formation, don't trust your own eyes. Now it seems I have to tell you again!" Seeing that this fellow really charged over like that, a hint of sympathy flowed out from Wang Guanlan's gaze.

  Bang!

  Suddenly, a loud noise was heard and the fog disappeared. In the place where the fog originally was, there was actually a huge stone monument. The monument was thick and sturdy, and Lei Sanpao's speed was too fast. He thought that the fog was just empty space, so he charged forward at high speed and crashed head-on into the monument.

  It was also his cultivation that reached the fifth layer of refining Qi, with thick skin and flesh, otherwise, just this one blow would have been enough to take away more than half of his life.

  But now it's almost the same even if you don't lose half your life.

  He felt something was off when he was about to crash, so he subconsciously stretched out his hands and threw away the three black iron balls in his hands. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to explode the iron balls on the spot, but rather flung them aside in an emergency, then put his hands forward in a heap. After that, he heard the sound of his own bones cracking in his hands. Fortunately, the momentum of his body rushing forward was slowed down by his hands, so he didn't splatter on the spot. However, this impact force was still not something he could bear at the moment, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his body scraping against the stone monument and leaving a long trail of blood on it, losing consciousness.

  Li Mingfan saw Lei Sanpao's miserable state and suddenly shuddered, subconsciously starting to back away.

  "What are you running for? Haven't you admitted defeat? Take these two guys away!" Wang Guanlan glanced at Li Mingfan and casually pointed to the two people on the ground. "Do you want me to drag them away?"

  "No, no, no, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!" At this time, Li Mingfan had already lost the confidence that a young master from a noble family should have. He put down his proud demeanor and lowered his head to pick up the two unconscious men covered in blood. Then, with a difficult expression, he looked at Wang Guanlan and said, "Fourteenth Young Master, how am I supposed to get out of here?!"

  "Didn't you already leave?!" Wang Guanlan smiled, and with a light wave of the array flag in his hand, suddenly Li Mingfan felt a misty air rushing towards him. His heart moved, and before he could react, he felt a bright light around him, and he was already outside the formation.

  Why is it said that he was outside the formation, because he saw the Ning Wangfu guards outside, saw King Guanxiao watching the excitement, and also saw the four people of the Yuanyu candidate list standing on the other side.

  Of course, he also saw that the fog in front of him was dissipating and finally disappeared completely, revealing Wang Guanlan with a faint smile.

  Wang Guanlan appeared, leisurely retrieving the five array flags from the ground and combining them with the one in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the array flags vanished, and it was unclear where he had hidden them.

  Wang Guanlan, who had put everything in order, ignored Li Mingfan and walked straight to the school entrance. As he walked, he looked at the four people from the Pinyin candidate list, somewhat puzzled about what they were doing there.

  He didn't know that these four were the young powerhouses on the Hidden Abyss Substitute List. Although he also knew of the existence of the Hidden Abyss List and the Hidden Abyss Substitute List, to him, it was simply too far-fetched. Think about it, a year ago, he was still at the first level of Qi Refining, how would he pay attention to the Hidden Abyss List? Did he think he had the qualifications to be listed among them? To enter the Hidden Abyss List, the minimum requirement for martial arts cultivation was the seventh level of Qi Refining!

  It's not just young people, but also the world's martial artists who can set foot in the seven layers in their lifetime are extremely rare. Let alone young people, those under 30 years old who can enter the seventh layer of Qi Refining, the probability is absolutely a frightening figure.

  Wang Guanlan did not know that the four onlookers came from the Hidden Immortal Rankings. However, this did not affect his impression of them.

  What a strong guy!

  This was Wang Guanlan's first impression of them.

  "Could it be that these few are also here to challenge me?!" His heart was filled with doubts, and the four-man group saw Wang Guanlan emerge unscathed after collecting his array, their eyes all lit up. To know that even with their strength, each having an ultimate technique, except for the leader, the other three did not have the confidence to break out of the array no matter what.

  But now Wang Guanlan has come out, it's a good opportunity.

  "Go try him out!" the leading young strongman said in a low voice.

  "Good!" The two guys who were competing for the 50th place on the substitute list just now both moved at the same time.

  "Slap!" Wang Guan's fan closed with a loud crack. "Hu Zhen, take a look, whoever dares to move, I'll kill them!"

  "Yes, Fourth Young Master!" Hu Zhen responded with a loud voice, his long spear fiercely stabbing the ground, an aura of immense power bursting out from his body. Almost simultaneously, dozens of elite guards also rose up in unison, their auras intertwining with Hu Zhen's, pushing his aura to even greater heights. In an instant, the air was filled with the intense and tragic atmosphere of a battlefield.

  "What's wrong?!" Wang Guanlan was still a bit dazed, but the four people who were eager to move forward had stopped.

  "What a huge temper the fourth young master has!"

  "It's not that I have a bad temper, but someone is not following the rules!" The fourth son, Wang Guanxiao, sneered and turned his head to look at Wang Guanlan "Fourteenth brother, how was the battle?"

  "Except for one guy, the rest are not even worth mentioning!" Wang Guanlan chuckled and said with a smile. The one he was referring to was not Li Mingfan who was still standing, but that young master holding a long spear. "Fourth brother, are these your friends?"

  Even if he was foolish, at this time he sensed that the atmosphere in the field was not right, and looked at the four of them with a questioning gaze.

  "I'm not worthy of having such friends!" The Fourth Master smiled, looking at the approaching group of four. "Let me introduce you, these four are all figures on the Hidden Deep Reserve List. That fat one is Dong Xuan, ranked fifty-first..."

  "Hey, Wang Laosi, things can be eaten in disorder, but words cannot be spoken in disorder. Who said I'm ranked fifty-first? My ranking is clearly fiftieth!" Dong Xuan was displeased as soon as he heard that the Fourth Young Master had ranked him fifty-first.

  "If you're not happy about it, go talk to Tianji Pavilion. This ranking was made by them when they had nothing better to do!"

  "The Fourth Young Master is wrong again, my Tianji Pavilion isn't idle with nothing to do!" The man beside Dong Xuan was tall and thin, with a pale face, looking as if he could be blown down by a gentle breeze. When he spoke, his voice was also weak and powerless.

  "It's not like you're idle with nothing to do, making this list for no reason, and stirring up so much unnecessary strife!" The Fourth Young Master sneered, "Or perhaps, the Tianji Pavilion just wants to use this list to stir up trouble in the martial arts world?!"

  The pale young man's face suddenly fell. "Fourth son, this matter has long been public opinion, and I have no obligation to explain it to you again." "Even if you want to explain, I don't want to listen!" Wang Guanxiao sneered, "This is Song Kun of Tianji Pavilion, ranked 50th in the reserve list of Qianyuan. However, I think this guy relies on the power of Tianji Pavilion to rank so high. If he weren't from Tianji Pavilion, he wouldn't even be able to get on the reserve list!"
