Everyone looked up. A heroic and valiant figure was rushing over at extreme speed. It was none other than the newly appointed domain lord of the Southern War Zone, Ji Xueyun!
Behind her.
Countless armored vehicles advanced slowly, unstoppable, with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and a spirit that swallowed rivers.
It was as if they could crush all resistance.
"Domain Lord Ji, what do you intend to do?"
Facing this torrent of steel, Gu Chengkong was unfazed. He said sinisterly, "Have you forgotten the rules of Great Xia?"
"The war zones are not to interfere with the affairs of the ancient martial arts world!"
"All conflicts within the ancient martial arts world are to be resolved internally!"
Ji Xueyun's face turned cold.
She naturally knew this rule. She immediately said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for this rule, the fellows behind me would have opened fire long ago."
Gu Chengkong's eyes twitched fiercely.
Even as a Grandmaster, he would be blasted into smithereens by indiscriminate, high-tech weaponry.
Although Ji Xueyun hadn't brought those things with her...
She was undeniably a threat to him.
Gu Chengkong sneered and immediately said, "Domain Lord Ji, I'll give you this much face. I can wait here for thirty minutes!"
"If Bai Zifei does not come out to fight after thirty minutes..."
A sinister arc curved on Gu Chengkong's lips. "Then Bai Zifei will be considered to have forfeited."
"At that time..."
"He will have to cripple his own cultivation and surrender on his knees. None of you can complain!"
Ji Xueyun let out a cold snort, offering no comment.
Yue Rushuang's expression suddenly changed.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Thirty minutes... It had arrived!
"Bai Zifei!"
Gu Chengkong suddenly roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire venue. "I have tolerated you again and again, yet you act like a shrinking turtle..."
"Thirty minutes have passed. Since you dare not fight me, you have lost!"
"I hereby declare..."
"Bai Zifei must cripple his own cultivation and apologize on his knees!"
"Ancient Martial Arts Association, heed my command!"
Gu Chengkong's cold gaze swept over the many experts of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, his eyes full of dominance and unparalleled disdain. "Break through the Xuan Tian Pavilion and capture Bai Zifei!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Ji Xueyun's sharp cry soared into the sky. "All Southern Domain soldiers, heed my command!"
"If the Ancient Martial Arts Association dares to make any rash moves..."
"Cannons will fire, and the entire scene will be annihilated!"
As this order was given.
"Click!"
"Clank!"
"Dong dong!"
The sounds of various weapons preparing for action sent shivers down people's spines.
Indeed, in the next second, countless gun barrels and cannon barrels were aimed at the people of the Ancient Martial Arts Association. Ji Xueyun was not joking.
Gu Chengkong became enraged and furiously questioned, "Ji Xueyun, you are acting so recklessly, disregarding the orders of the war department. Aren't you afraid of being sanctioned by the war department?"
"Heh..."
Ji Xueyun sneered, "The war department... What is it compared to my junior brother!"
The meaning was undoubtedly clear.
Even if Ji Xueyun defied orders, she would intervene in today's events.
Gu Chengkong trembled with anger, his eyebrows and beard shaking. He harshly ordered, "Charge! Anyone who dares to obstruct, kill them without mercy!"
Just as a major battle was about to break out.
"Let's see who dares!"
A commanding roar echoed throughout the venue.
Immediately after, a streak of light flashed over. It was Bai Zifei!
Seeing the devastation on the ground, Bai Zifei's heart ached.
Xuan Tian Pavilion...
It had made immense contributions to help him gather the keys to the dodecahedron.
Yet Gu Chengkong had blown away its main gate. Some of the Xuan Tian Pavilion brothers were lying on the ground, groaning with missing limbs.
He had even threatened his fifth and second senior sisters...
Bai Zifei's anger surged, and his gaze towards Gu Chengkong was filled with coldness.
"Gu Chengkong."
"As the president of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, it's understandable that you are stepping up for the Zhou and Xu families. I didn't want to make things difficult for you."
"But you should not have..."
"You should not have laid hands on the people of Xuan Tian Pavilion, nor should you have engaged with the soldiers!"
"You threatened my two senior sisters..."
Bai Zifei's eyes blazed with light, devoid of any emotion. "Then today, I can only cripple you as a punishment!"
As these words were spoken...
Gu Chengkong burst into laughter, an infinitely arrogant laugh.
The disciples of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, as well as the people from the Zhou and Xu families, were also filled with disdain.
"Bai Zifei, your death is imminent. How dare you be so arrogant?"
"Bai Zifei, you killed our Zhou family's old ancestor, and didn't even leave a corpse. Next year, this day will be your death anniversary!"
"Bai Zifei, before President Gu, why don't you quickly kneel and beg for mercy!"
"Bai Zifei..."
They, thinking they had the backing of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, were supremely arrogant, believing Bai Zifei was doomed to lose today.
One by one, they shouted and cursed, venting all their past grievances.
"Bai Zifei..."
Gu Chengkong looked at him with a mocking smile, sneering, "I thought you would stay in your tortoise shell forever..."
"Since you've come out, I will defeat you fair and square!"
