Chapter 241 Records are Meant to be Broken!
VIP room.
Clang clang clang!
A series of metallic clashing noises came, and a figure appeared before Xue Wuhen and Ye Heng, clad in blood-colored metal battle armor, disheveled, and with long hair caked with congealed blood, sticking together, his face indistinct amidst the tousled strands.
The very moment this person appeared,
Ye Heng felt the temperature inside the VIP room plummet to freezing point.
The drink in his hand also turned to ice.
"There's such a heavy evil Qi on this person..." Ye Heng silently cautioned himself.
Beneath the disheveled hair, a pair of blood-red eyes flickered with cold, detached glimmers of light, fixing on Xue Wuhen: "Why did you summon me?"
Xue Wuhen pointed towards Xiao Yi in the dueling arena and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you instruct me to wake you if I encountered a strong enough contender worthy of being your opponent? Such a person has appeared. This man is nicknamed 'One Punch' and has achieved a fifty-win streak. I want you to kill him!"
"Fifty-win streak?"
The Ghost General's voice was ice-cold yet resonant, as he sneered, "Call me when he reaches his ninetieth match!"
His voice was like that of a haunting spirit.
At times delicate, at times rough, the yin and yang were indistinguishable.
Xue Wuhen angrily retorted, "Why wait until the ninetieth match? Do you know how much I stand to lose?"
The Ghost General replied indifferently, "When Xiao Tianjiao was in the Golden Core Realm, he defeated me on his ninetieth match, thus achieving an unprecedented ninety-win streak. It's precisely because I failed to stop Xiao Tianjiao that I agreed to guard the Combat Pavilion. Let me take action when he reaches his ninetieth match!"
The Ghost General then dragged his heavy body away,
Completely ignoring Xue Wuhen's angry roar, "Damned bastard..."
Ye Heng quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
For some reason...
Even when he heard Xue Wuhen ordering the Ghost General to strike down Xiao Yi, he felt no worry at all.
In his heart, Xiao Yi was invincible.
No one could threaten his life.
There was simply no need for concern.
Xue Wuhen stared fixedly at Ye Heng, grinding his teeth as he said, "Boy, just who is your master?"
Ye Heng answered lightly, "When my master completes a hundred-win streak, let him tell you himself!"
"A hundred-win streak? Pure folly!"
Xue Wuhen sneered as if looking at a madman, staring at Ye Heng, "Not even Xiao Tianjiao, the top talent of the Great Qian Dynasty, achieved more than ninety consecutive victories in the Golden Core Realm, a record that has been maintained for years. No one has ever been able to come close to his record. Do you think your master can be stronger than Xiao Tianjiao?"
"Xiao Tianjiao?"
Ye Heng was taken aback.
That name was thunderous in his ears. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
The number one talent of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Saint Heir of Tianjian Sect, and now a master of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
An existence comparable to the proud sun above the sky.
Yet Ye Heng hadn't imagined that Xiao Tianjiao also only managed a ninety-win streak back in the day?
What then, had stopped him from achieving the hundred-win record?
Narrowing his eyes, Ye Heng muttered to himself, "If it were my master, he should be able to reach a hundred consecutive victories, right?"
Xiao Yi's winning streak continued to rise.
Even when faced with opponents who were at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, they were still no match for a single punch.
"One Punch, Unbeatable!"
"Unbeatable!"
As soon as Xiao Yi's opponent entered the stage, the entire Earth Character Pavilion was filled with thunderous cheers and roars.
Xiao Yi never disappointed the crowd.
No matter where you came from, all were brought down by one punch!
Unconsciously...
The win streak had reached the ninetieth match.
The graceful lady's figure reappeared before the crowd, her gaze filled with reverence as she looked at Xiao Yi, and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contender is our Combat Pavilion's ultimate warrior. Additionally, he is the only one who caused Xiao Tianjiao to use two moves to win during his Golden Core Realm duels in our Combat Pavilion. His name is—Ghost General!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The war drums thundered relentlessly.
"The Ghost General? My god, the Combat Pavilion actually sent him out?"
"I was here when Xiao Tianjiao stormed the Combat Pavilion. He was truly invincible! Before he faced the Ghost General, no one could withstand even one of his moves. It wasn't until his ninetieth fight that he met the Ghost General, and it took Xiao Tianjiao two moves to defeat him, thus setting the Combat Pavilion's longest winning streak of ninety consecutive victories."
"Ninety consecutive victories? With Xiao Tianjiao's strength, wouldn't a hundred consecutive victories be easy?"
"What do you know? After Xiao Tianjiao defeated the Ghost General, no one in the Earth Character Pavilion's Golden Core Realm was his match. He went straight to the Heaven Character Pavilion to challenge those in the Tao Tribulation Realm, winning nine straight victories there and accumulating nearly a trillion silver, angering the Pavilion Master who personally intervened and defeated him, halting his streak at ninety-nine consecutive victories!"
In the midst of the whispering crowd.
The Ghost General appeared in front of Xiao Yi, a tall and burly figure clad in blood-colored iron armor, clanking as he moved.
His disheveled hair fell across his face, and his blood-red eyes stared at Xiao Yi as he said firmly, "You, are strong!"
Xiao Yi squinted, assessing the Ghost General.
There was a terrifying evil qi emanating from the man, chilling the air to freezing point. Within ten paces of the Ghost General, the ground was frosted over, the frost reaching up to Xiao Yi and stopping there uncannily.
Xiao Yi said, "I heard it took Xiao Tianjiao two moves to beat you?"
"Yes!"
The Ghost General spoke with a muffled voice, "He is the strongest Golden Core Realm warrior I've ever seen, and no one has been able to break his record!"
Xiao Yi cracked a smile, "Records are made to be broken. It took him two moves to defeat you, but I only need one punch!"
"One punch? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard!" The Ghost General's laughter carried a hint of murderous intent as he took Xiao Yi's claim of defeating him with one punch as a great insult, "As a reward for amusing me, I'll leave your body intact!"
As soon as the words fell.
The Ghost General's body shook, and the gray qi beneath him surged into a fierce gray steed.
Mounted on the gray qi steed, clad in his blood-colored battle armor, and wielding a black spear, the Ghost General's legs clamped down hard, and with a loud boom, he transformed into a blur of black and red, shooting past.
His speed was so fast that all one could see was a trail of afterimages.
"Ghost King Spear!"
Boom!
On the black spear, a fierce wind howled, emitting a wailing sound as it cut through the air, akin to the ghost king's roar.
Along the spear's light, white frost continuously formed under the invasion of evil qi.
Like the fangs of a ghost king, it thrust straight at Xiao Yi's heart.
In the VIP seats.
Xue Wuhen reclined comfortably in his chair, smirking at Ye Heng, "Stop watching, your master's fate is sealed. Over the years, aside from Xiao Tianjiao, no Golden Core Realm powerhouse has managed to survive against the Ghost General!"
"No!"
Ye Heng stated emphatically, "My master will not lose!"
"Stubborn till the end..."
Xue Wuhen let out a sneer.
Meanwhile…
Faced with the Ghost General's lethal strike, Xiao Yi's lips curved slightly upward, his right fist drawn back to his waist, then suddenly hammered out like an arrow from a bow.
Rustling!
Endless qi gathered atop his fist.
This punch, seemingly effortless, was imbued with the power of wind and thunder. With a massive boom, his punch landed solidly on the sharp spear tip. Amidst another resounding boom, the long spear shattered.
The violent gust of wind sent the Ghost General flying backwards.
Boom!
The Ghost General slammed harshly into the protective array and fell noisily to the ground, his body crackling with thunder, unable to get up again.
One punch, instant kill!
"Holy shit, he actually defeated the Ghost General with one punch?"
"This is the Ghost General who could withstand two of Xiao Tianjiao's moves, who on earth is this one-punch guy?"
Amidst the crowd's speculation, Xiao Yi paid them no attention.
His gaze turned towards the VIP area, his voice calm but filled with a fervent warlike intent, "Xue Wuhen, I want to challenge the Heaven Character Pavilion!"
"..."
At these words, the world was shocked...
