Heaven rewards diligence; he fought his way through chaos to become a saint.

The old man, Duwei Cheng, showed surprise. He had analyzed the scenes of Ye Ci's actions several times and believed that Ye Ci had a very powerful ultimate move.

Under normal circumstances, he should be similar to Li Hu.

Having so easily defeated Chu Shan and Li Hu, the Commandant felt it was time to end things and say what needed to be said.

He was about to speak when his gaze met that of Commandant Qin.

"Ye Ci, you're truly surprising me more and more!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Commandant Qin slowly rose to his feet, his black cloak billowing with each movement, the hem of his robe sweeping across the table and stirring up a gentle breeze.

He drew the spear from his side.

The room erupted in chaos, filled with gasps, gasps, and the clatter of chairs and tables.

The previous discussions were completely swallowed up by this sudden scene, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the dark figure, filled with disbelief.

They saw Commandant Qin personally step down from the head seat, and with a few muffled thuds, his figure stepped onto the arena.

At that moment, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly tightened, and even the wind seemed to freeze.

Because the captain raised his spear:

"Qin Lie".

It is common knowledge that Qin Lie was able to serve as a high-ranking official, meaning his strength was at least at the Transformation Realm. This is also inferred from his official rank, as most captains and lieutenants were at the Transformation Realm.

Many martial arts masters in Songjiang County stood up simultaneously, a sense of anger rising in their hearts.

Warriors value rules and regulations.

Each layer of force is like a mountain; with the captain's strength and age, wherever he goes, he's just bullying the weak.

That's against the rules!

The other wealthy people in the audience looked surprised. Didn't they think the two were getting along well before?

Master Shen Wanzhou held his breath, his face tense.

What happened?!

What's going on?!

He had a feeling that Ye Ci would be stabbed to death by Lord Qin.

Ye Ci raised the knife and said calmly:

"Ye Ci."

The two stood facing each other.

At this moment, the group of internal energy martial artists from the Shen family were also enraged, and they began to curse in low voices outside:

"The adults are personally getting involved?"

"He really doesn't respect the soldiers of Songjiang County at all!"

"Are the martial arts masters at those schools remaining silent?"

"Nobody dares to utter a sound?!"

"Wu Tan, why don't you go up and say something?!"

"..."

Perhaps sensing the public outrage below, Qin Lie, standing on the stage, did not rush to take action. Instead, he calmly introduced himself to the crowd:

"Qin is a master of the 'Embracing the Elixir' technique."

At that moment, the atmosphere below the stage became suffocating, and then people slowly sat down.

Commandant Chen Chuan stroked his beard and smiled below. Today, the Commandant was truly going to create momentum for Ye Ci.

Qin Lie laughed heartily on the stage: "Do you think I'm bullying the weak? This Ye Gongfeng from the Shen family fought with me when he was at the Ming Jin stage and successfully escaped. Of course, since I said it was a friendly spar, I will suppress my strength at the An Jin stage and only compete in martial arts. With my body at the Bao Dan Jin stage, this Ye Gongfeng can also go all out."

To escape from him is already a remarkable achievement, especially considering that he was only at the Ming Jin level at the time.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who had been sitting down stood up again.

That can't be right!

At that moment, everyone present was stunned.

Mingjin versus Baodan?

In a short time, they couldn't understand what it meant to successfully escape.

Only Chen Chuan, the Commandant, secretly curled his lip. With Qin Lie's proud personality, didn't he get away with another one last night?

It can happen immediately!

More people stood up.

Because they could see that Commandant Qin had a serious expression on his face.

They're really going to take action.

The difference between Baodan and Mingjin is like that between an elephant and an ant.

Ye Ci understood this perfectly.

That night, it was only because the captain didn't really fight back, nor did he use his full strength, and because he took advantage of the enemy's carelessness and it was dark, that he was able to escape.

It's not much of a skill.

Therefore, when Commandant Qin told everyone that he had fought him, there was some exaggeration involved.

but.

Now, with his internal strength still at its peak, the gap between him and his opponent hasn't narrowed at all. If they were to face each other head-on, even if his opponent suppressed his internal strength, it would be impossible for him to win with his current strength.

Qi Wang, holding the pig's head, looked at Qin Lie on the stage and muttered to himself:

"fragrant."

"Please!" Qin Lie said.

Ye Ci looked over and saw a surge of fighting spirit in the other person's eyes, so he nodded:

"please".

In an instant.

A cold blade cuts through the wind, a silver spear cleaves the sky.

Qin Lie took a step and spun around, his long spear moving with wide, sweeping motions, as powerful as thunder.

Ye Ci neither dodged nor evaded, but parried with his sword. With a crisp "clang," sparks flew, and the two were forced to retreat.

Before he could even regain his footing, Qin Lie's spear stance suddenly changed, sweeping the shaft horizontally towards his waist. Ye Ci spun his blade and slashed back, the blade sliding along the shaft and the edge grazing the spear tip—a near miss.

Qin Lie flipped his wrist, the spear rolled back, and the tip of the spear thrust like a dense rain.

Ye Ci moved with light and agile steps, his sword flashing and the sound of metal clashing was incessant.

The two figures intertwined, their spear shadows and blade flashes tangled together, the sharp sound of spear tips cutting through the wind and the deep resonance of blades cleaving through the air intertwined, their moves as fast as lightning.

For a moment, Commandant Qin stood firm as a pine tree, while Ye Ci attacked and killed, neither side showing any weakness, making it difficult to determine the winner.

The martial arts instructors below the stage watched intently, knowing that both fighters had perfected their respective fighting styles.

Although Qin Lie didn't seem fast, he was as still as a mountain and his marksmanship was dense.

Ye Ci seemed swift, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Lord Qin suppressed his strength in the hidden force, and the two were indeed evenly matched. However, Lord Qin was, after all, a master of the Core Formation stage. His understanding of martial arts and his combat experience were far superior to Ye Ci's."

Someone pointed out the problem: "Lord Qin's spear technique is a superior martial art that can only be used by those who have reached the Transformation Realm. Although it suppresses the force, Ye Ci can only barely cope with it."

"Yes, he's trying to compensate for his weaknesses with footwork, but Commandant Qin's style is all about wide, sweeping attacks; he doesn't need to rely on speed to win. Besides, the spear is the king of weapons; every inch longer, the stronger. This battle... will be tough!"

"Commander Qin is about to use a heavy hand!" someone exclaimed.

"Hahaha, I'm taking a hit!"

Qin Lie suddenly grinned and stomped his foot, bringing his spear down with a force as heavy as if splitting a mountain.

If that hits, it could shatter your skull.

Ye Ci remained calm, without turning his head, and with a backhand flick, he dodged to the side.

As he dodged the attack, Ye Ci made a move that shocked the entire audience: he suddenly raised his long sword into the air.

Then Ye Ci struck out with a heavy palm, his arm carrying tremendous force, slamming hard into Qin Lie's chest.

With a muffled thud, Qin Lie staggered back three steps.

laugh!

The long sword in his hand landed perfectly in Ye Ci's hand. With a horizontal slash, Qin Duwei's clothes were torn at the chest, and the buttons on his black cloak were also cut off.

The cloak slowly fell to the ground.

A strange expression finally appeared on Qin Lie's face.

"What a powerful palm strike, and what agile moves!"

While others couldn't figure it out, Xiao Hua's pupils constricted.

He recognized that Ye Ci had used the Baoshan Seal.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ci had mastered this skill earlier than I had.

The Baoshan Seal is extremely difficult to master.

The aging men in the arena did indeed have their pupils shrink suddenly, and their breaths blowing their beards high could not hide their surprise.

If I had received that palm strike with hidden force, I would have definitely been defeated.

Commandant Qin has already lost.

At this moment, the soldiers in the camp stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Qin Lie was in turmoil. He felt he should say a few words to end the fight.

In the midst of his thoughts, he only saw Ye Ci's figure go berserk, and with the support of the Moon Chasing Step, his whole body was as fast as lightning.

A powerful internal force condensed in his palm, and he slammed out with a heavy blow, his arm carrying immense force, crashing down on Qin Lie like Mount Tai.

This is a deadly move, aimed straight at the brain.

"A celestial being touches your head!"

The soldiers present stared wide-eyed, their breathing quickening. This was truly disrespectful to the captain!
