Nobody expected that the masked man sent by the Songshan Sect would actually be Jiang An, the leading disciple of the Flying Knife Sect. He betrayed his own sect to serve Bei Lengshi, but in the end, he met a demise in which both his body and spirit were destroyed by Bei Lengshi himself.

”Such a waste of a young and powerful individual.”

”The temptations in the world of martial artists far surpass those in the mortal world. If one cannot hold firm, they will regret it for a lifetime.”

”Bei Lengshi, in his ambition to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World and to govern all martial artists, will stop at nothing. His wolfish ambition is apparent!”

”Xian Yutong of the Huashan Sect is clearly bought over by Bei Lengshi, just like the Flying Knife Sect. I wonder whether the other sects can compete with the Songshan Sect.”

Many martial artists could not help but express their concern. Bei Lengshi was truly ruthless; initially, using Jiang An to defeat other martial artists, and now, seeing that his misdeeds were exposed, he immediately killed Jiang An. Such cruelty is not something an ordinary person could manage. Letting him become the leader of the Ancient Martial World would truly be a disaster.

”Hmph, someone has impersonated a disciple from our Songshan Sect again. This is unbearable!” Bei Lengshi said coldly.

”You... Bei Lengshi, I will remember this score. One day, I will ensure you meet the same fate of body and spirit destruction,” Xie Yuhe said through gritted teeth.

”Little girl, you’ve spoken out of turn several times. Don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson!” Bei Wei stepped forward and charged into the battle formation, intending to kill Xie Yuhe.

Anyone could see that Bei Lengshi wanted his son to kill someone to silence them. As Jiang An lay dying, he had informed Xie Yuhe about the betrayal and the matters of the Flying Knife Sect, which posed a threat to Bei Lengshi. Now, taking advantage of Xie Yuhe’s serious injuries and her inability to fight, killing her was the best option.

Bei Lengshi’s recent action had been thwarted by the One Sword Taoist. However, even the One Sword Taoist did not expect Bei Lengshi to kill someone from his own side, leading to a slight delay in his response. He only managed to rescue Xie Yuhe. Now, Bei Lengshi did not dare to make another move himself; firstly, it would tarnish his own image as the Sect Leader of the Songshan Sect, and secondly, if the One Sword Taoist truly became angry, it would be very disadvantageous for him. Now, letting his son fight in the match still maintained the rules of combat, meaning no one could criticize him openly.

”Trying to kill someone to silence them?” Xie Yuhe asked Bei Wei coldly.

”You’re thinking too much. I just want to compete for the position of the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. If you defeat this pretender who impersonated a disciple of my Songshan Sect, you win. I’m here to challenge you,” Bei Wei said with a cold sneer.

Boom!

Bei Wei, eager to silence Xie Yuhe, struck down with a palm towards her. Xie Yuhe, engulfed in grief and already severely injured, couldn’t possibly be a match for Bei Wei, whose cultivation was still above hers. She closed her eyes, waiting for death.

Whoosh!

A horsetail whisk flashed in front of Xie Yuhe, and she was out of the battle formation, leaving Bei Wei’s palm striking nothing but air. This made Bei Lengshi frown deeply, his tone icy as he said to the One Sword Taoist, ”What is this, One Sword Taoist? Are you trying to interfere with the younger generation’s competition for the ruler of the Ancient Martial World?”

”Oh, the Sect Leader of the Flying Knife Sect and I have met once, and this lady disciple of the Flying Knife Sect has already lost her ability to fight. I believe she poses no threat to Master Bei. How about letting her leave the battle formation? Someone from the Flying Knife Sect has already fought, so there’s no opportunity to compete for the position of the ruler. How about we let this go?” the One Sword Taoist said with a smile.

Bei Lengshi frowned and looked at the One Sword Taoist. Both were momentarily shaken, and Bei Lengshi’s chair moved a step back, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise before he composed himself and smiled, ”One Sword Taoist is a senior in the Ancient Martial World. Having you attend this conference at my Songshan Sect is already giving me face, Bei Lengshi. Since you’ve spoken, I agree!”

”Thank you, Master Bei. Everyone knows that Master Bei is magnanimous. It’s truly admirable,” the One Sword Taoist casually said.

At this time, Bei Wei had already entered the battle formation. After thanking the One Sword Taoist, Xie Yuhe returned to her place at the Flying Knife Sect and sat down, still not fully recovered from the recent events, causing Qing Chengyue and Dongfang Meng to worry.

”I’ll go, now that Bei Wei has entered the field. Just by defeating Bei Wei, Bei Lengshi will definitely not be able to remain calm,” Dongfang Meng said softly.

”No, your combat capability isn’t as good as Bei Wei’s. Let me go,” Ye Tianchen quickly said.

”You all don’t fight over this. Someone is already getting impatient. The real battle between the two wolves is about to begin. Let’s just watch the drama unfold!” Qing Chengyue said.

Dongfang Meng and Ye Tianchen were both startled and looked towards the martial arts competition formation, where they saw Du Wanli had also entered, coldly staring at Bei Wei. These two men, each the Saint Heir of their respective sects, were masters of the Absolute Divine Skills of their sects and were among the top experts of the younger generation in the Ancient Martial World. Their battle was not just a contest for control over the Ancient Martial World, but also a major showdown between the Five Poison Sect and the Songshan Sect.

”You actually came here seeking death, rest assured, I will fulfill your wish!” Bei Wei said coldly with a sneer at Du Wanli.

”You wish to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, but you’ll have to ask me if I agree.” Du Wanli replied disdainfully.

”Is that so? Your old man didn’t come, and the Five Poison Sect sent only you, don’t forget, this is my Songshan Sect,” fiercely stared Bei Wei at Du Wanli.

”Words are useless, die now!”

Du Wanli made his move. He was quite confident. Among the many sons of Du Tianqi, he had survived and become the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect, showing no small measure of talent. Holding the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, a Martial Saint Treasure and also wielded by a Peak of Late Stage Martial Saint, it was one of the few treasures in the entire Ancient Martial World that could contend with others, boosting both Du Wanli’s confidence and fighting power.

The only time, the only time Du Wanli ever completely lost his confidence, was caused by Ye Tianchen, mainly because Ye Tianchen displayed combat power that surpassed his cultivation realm, a first in the Ancient Martial World, something Du Wanli had never anticipated, deeply impacting his confidence and causing an abnormal performance. Otherwise, in terms of combat power, Du Wanli would not be weaker than Ye Tianchen.

Bang!

Boom!

With a punch and a palm, electricity and flint included, Du Wanli and Bei Wei had already exchanged two blows, taking several steps back, proving evenly matched and shocking everyone present. These two’s combat power was certainly top-notch among the younger generation in the Ancient Martial World, and if they continued to grow, their potential was immeasurable.

”Such powerful combat strength, defeating these two will not be easy,” Dongfang Meng transmitted his thoughts to Ye Tianchen.

”Let them fight it out. It’s now a dispute between the Five Poison Sect and the Songshan Sect. Bei Wei and Du Wanli’s combat strengths are comparable; the strengths of the Five Poison Sect and the Songshan Sect are almost equal. These two sects clashing will benefit us. The best outcome would be both sides suffering heavy losses, too exhausted to claim victory, thus rendering this grand gathering in the Ancient Martial World pointless,” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and then said.

”Don’t worry. The conflict between the Five Poison Sect and the Songshan Sect has just begun. Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi are bound to fight, and that will be earth-shattering,” Qing Chengyue said with a hint of a cold smile.

Rumbling noises arose as Du Wanli unfolded his Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, aiming to shock and kill Bei Wei quickly, to intimidate the people of the Songshan Sect.

Rustling sounds also rose simultaneously as Bei Wei took out the fan from his waist. The fan, made entirely of precious stones and refined by the Great Elder of the Songshan Sect, was a divine powerful treasure, no less formidable than the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner.

”Black Poisonous Fire!” A stream of black flames rushed towards Bei Wei to suppress and burn him.

”Ice Freezing Sky!” A force of extreme cold met the black flames head-on.

Boom thud!

Inside the battle formation, black flames and cold air filled the area. Du Wanli frowned, glanced at the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in his hand, and tightened his grip. He had not yet fully unleashed the banner’s power; at most, he could only harness one-tenth of its potential. Otherwise, defeating Bei Wei would have been an easy task.

The Jade Fan in Bei Wei’s hand, although powerful and refined by a high-level expert of the Songshan Sect, was still not as formidable as the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner. Had Du Wanli fully mastered the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, the previous exchange might have ended Bei Wei both physically and spiritually.

Bei Lengshi stared intently at the martial arts formation. He was not worried about his son, but rather about how to kill Du Wanli if Bei Wei lost. He could not let anyone disrupt his path to becoming the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, as it would also affect his grand schemes afterwards.

”Ha!” With a loud shout, Du Wanli spat out a giant centipede, which rapidly enlarged, sweeping towards Bei Wei like a hundred-legged worm that does not stiffen even in death.

Bei Wei furrowed his brow and quickly retreated a few steps. The Martial Arts True Power in his right hand circulated while his left hand swiftly formed spell signs. With a flick of his wrist, a fan wind froze the giant centipede solid.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Du Wanli also rushed towards Bei Wei and aimed a palm at Bei Wei’s forehead. Bei Wei, shocked, didn’t expect Du Wanli to be so fast. Nonetheless, he wasn’t flustered. Pointing a powerful finger with his left hand, he quickly floated up, leaving space to deploy Absolute Divine Skills.
