A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Cheng Tieniu was on the verge of tears, desperately wanting to shut up the clamoring disciples around him...

If they keep stirring things up like this, he won't even have a complete corpse left.

Seeing that Ye Chen was about to attack, he hurriedly gripped his spirit sword, preparing to defend himself...

In the past, when sparring with his disciples, Cheng Tieniu disdained to use a sword. He could easily deal with them with just his "Copper Skin Iron Bone Skill". His opponents struggled to break through his spiritual energy shield.

At this moment, he not only gripped his sword, but was also putting his full attention into the competition...

"Take this!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, rushed forward in a few strides, and slashed down with his sword, using almost no technique whatsoever...

This sword strike was merely a test of the opponent's skills; once the attack was made, an opening could be found...

Faced with this simple yet powerful strike, Cheng Tieniu turned pale with fright. He hurriedly unleashed his "Copper Skin Iron Bone Skill" to its fullest extent, his body radiating spiritual light, and a golden protective shield instantly formed, enveloping his entire body...

He felt slightly relieved, and with a horizontal slash of his spirit sword, he launched a diagonal attack from below...

"when!"

The two swords clashed!

A string of sparks flew from the blade...

Cheng Tieniu felt his arm go numb from the shock, the spirit sword slipped from his hand, and his obese body flew backward uncontrollably...

"Thump!"

He flew several meters and crashed heavily to the ground, but fortunately, thanks to his "Copper Skin Iron Bone Skill," he was almost unharmed, though he looked rather disheveled...

"Bang!"

His spirit sword fell to the ground not far away, making a crisp sound...

One sword strike sent him flying!

The disciples watching were immediately stunned, their faces filled with disbelief...

"How...how is this possible? Senior Brother Cheng was actually sent flying by a single sword strike..."

"That was just a regular slash, not even a sword technique!"

"No way! Senior Brother Cheng is known as unyielding and as steady as a rock, how could he be so weak?"

"In the past, Senior Brother Cheng could easily win without even using a sword, but this time he actually managed to swat his sword to defend himself and was sent flying?"

"No, am I seeing things? Could it be that Senior Brother Cheng deliberately let us win?"

A commotion erupted in the training grounds, and many disciples couldn't believe their eyes...

Cheng Tieniu's past sparring record speaks for itself; no disciple has ever been able to defeat him. Otherwise, Xu Changqing wouldn't have specifically sent him to spar with the disciples. It's precisely because of his "steadiness" that Xu Changqing values ​​him...

But at that moment, he was sent flying by a single sword strike!

On the competition field, Xu Changqing was startled, and the way he looked at Ye Chen changed...

Others might not see the clues, but he saw them clearly.

What appears to be an ordinary sword swing contains immense power, at least ten thousand pounds of force...

A heavy sword has no edge; it uses brute force against brute force!

He never expected that an outer disciple with only Qi Refining cultivation could possess such terrifying power.

He actually used immense force to send the rock-solid Cheng Tieniu flying, completely unexpected...

He had originally wanted to observe Ye Chen's swordplay and offer some pointers, but the sparring session ended as soon as it began.

Xu Changqing opened his mouth, then chuckled, his gaze towards Ye Chen now filled with admiration and curiosity.

This disciple does possess some astonishing skills...

Ye Chen frowned, looking at Cheng Tieniu who had flown away.

He looked down at the immortal sword in his hand. After Xu Changqing sealed the sword spirit, its power was no different from that of an ordinary iron sword, and there was nothing special about it.

How did that fat guy fly out?

Isn't he known for his amazing defense?

What is the most stable rock among the outer disciples? What is the indestructible copper skin and iron bones that no one can shake?

He hadn't even used his full strength yet; he was just testing how tough his opponent was...

Is that all?

Ye Chen paused for two seconds, then frowned as he looked up at Cheng Tieniu lying on the ground in front of him.

"Fatty, you're not acting like me, are you?"

"Trying to pull a fast one?"

"Stop pretending, get up now, stop playing tricks..."

"If you're a man, come and chop me up..."

He was still hoping for a good, unrestrained fight, and maybe even get some pointers on swordsmanship from Xu Changqing...

Does this fat guy not want to improve himself?

Cheng Tieniu: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Tieniu's gaze towards Ye Chen changed...

How could a living person utter such cold words?

What the hell...

He himself was slashed and sent flying, yet he still says he was faking it?

There are tens of thousands of disciples watching; even if he wanted to pretend, he wouldn't do something so shameful...

Is it something to be proud of to be slashed away by a single sword?

"I didn't..."

Before Cheng Tieniu could explain, a commotion arose from the surrounding crowd...

"Senior Brother Cheng, don't give him any face, just cut him down with one sword!"

"Stop playing along with this kid. Look how arrogant he is. Let's teach him a lesson..."

"Senior Brother Cheng, chop him down! Let him know how powerful you are..."

"Does this kid have some kind of background or connections? Senior Brother Cheng is so wary of him, even going so far as to go easy on him..."

"Senior Brother Cheng, don't be afraid. Elder Xu is watching. Just go all out..."

......

Cheng Tieniu: ? ? ?

"You fucking..."

Hearing the shouts of the surrounding disciples, Cheng Tieniu's face darkened; he was so angry he wanted to curse...

Who deliberately let the game go easy on them?

He really can't beat him...

The force of Ye Chen's sword strike just now was at least seven or eight thousand jin (approximately 3,000-4,000 kg). His arm was numb, as if he had been struck by lightning...

How can he possibly fight such a formidable opponent?

As the shouts around him grew louder, Ye Chen became even more convinced that Cheng Tieniu was faking it.

The fact that the fat man was completely unharmed after being slashed proves that his martial arts technique is truly resilient...

That's good, it lets him unleash his sword techniques and have a thoroughly enjoyable battle...

"Fatty, get up, grab your sword, let's have a proper spar..."

"Your disciples have discerning eyes; there's no use pretending now!"

"Use your best skills!"

Ye Chen looked at Cheng Tieniu, who was slumped on the ground, with a serious expression.

Cheng Tieniu: ? ? ?

Meeting Ye Chen's icy gaze, Cheng Tieniu shrank back in fear, feeling utterly devastated...

His greatest skill is his thick skin and ability to withstand blows; he's as steady as a mountain.

He already used it, but he was still sent flying by a single sword strike...

If it weren't for the protection of his Copper Skin Iron Bone Skill, he would have been seriously injured by now.

He wanted to tell the truth, but nobody believed him...

Not only did Ye Chen disbelieve it, but the disciples watching the battle also didn't believe it...

Who can I even turn to for justice...?

"Senior brother... please stop fighting, I admit defeat, okay?"

"I'm not acting, you have to believe me..."

"It's because you're so incredibly powerful, Senior Brother..."

Cheng Tieniu slowly stood up, not even bothering to brush the dust off his clothes. He looked at Ye Chen in front of him with a bitter expression, feeling so wronged he was almost in tears...

Who do you think you are? Don't you know your own strength?

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked at him suspiciously and waved his hand.

"Five more times!"

Cheng Tieniu: ? ? ?
