C286 Elder's personal visit

As soon as Gongsun Zaitian finished his sentence, the two of them disappeared from where they were standing at the same time. The next moment, a hurricane was stirred up in the field, forcing the people around them to retreat. Some of their clothes were flapping in the wind, and some of the weaker people couldn't even open their eyes.

However, all of this was just the beginning. Following that, a few air explosions occurred at the center of the field. The air explosions were deafening, startling the entire camp. Soldiers were rushing towards the main gate while holding their weapons!

The air explosion occurred because of the two of them clashing against each other. Every time the air explosion sounded, the figures of two people would appear in a certain area of the arena. After the two of them separated, their figures would once again disappear without a trace. On the other hand, the ground where they were fighting seemed to have exploded out of thin air, causing a small pit to appear on the flat ground.

As the two fought faster and faster and collided more and more frequently, large and small pits appeared on the ground one after another. Some of them were densely packed and some of them were even connected.

With a loud bang, another explosion occurred in the center of the arena. However, this time, the explosion was particularly large, and the sound of the two people colliding was especially loud as well.

After a long time, the sound of explosions disappeared, and the dust slowly dispersed. The crowd finally saw two figures standing on two different sides of the arena, roughly ten meters apart from each other. From the outside, no change could be seen. His clothes were neat and tidy, and his armor was undamaged. It was as if the intense battle just now had never happened.

"Kid, can we finish warming up here?" The old man asked in a clear voice.

"No problem. Next, I'll have to go all out!" Gongsun Zaitian calmly nodded his head as he answered.

"..." The crowd was stunned. Was the explosive battle just now really just a warm-up for the two of them? He couldn't believe it.

"Little child, you must be careful. This old man will go all out!" The old man smiled as if he was joking with Gongsun Ze Tian.

"You don't have to be so polite, I didn't even use my full strength just now!" Gongsun Ztian replied with a smile and an indifferent reply to the old man.

"..." Everyone fell to the ground once more. It seemed like the scene they had caused was a pit in the ground, and it was the two of them playing with each other.

"You little kid, you're very interesting. I'm a bit curious, who exactly is your master? "Given your age, even if you possess incredible talent, without a master teacher, it would be difficult for you to reach such heights!" The old man stroked his beard as he asked curiously.

"Old man, fighting is fighting, there's no point in trying to get to the bottom of it!" Could it be that you're here to chat with this brat about family matters? " Gongsun Ze Tian impatiently replied. This old man wanted to trick him. Gongsun Ze Tian wasn't a bad person and wasn't stupid, how could he let the other party find out about his background?

"This old man really likes your temper!" It has been a long time since I last fought. I never thought that after not walking around for so many years, I would have to fight someone for the first time, and it's even a young fellow like you. To be able to reach such a cultivation level at such a young age, your future must be limitless! " A harmless smile still blossomed on the elder's benevolent face. However, hearing the old man's tone, he truly felt that he was a genius.

"Lordmaster, you've changed the topic!" We're still fighting! " Gongsun Ztian interrupted the old man's interest in continuing. If he allowed the old man to continue speaking, he might even say something like 'Young Hero, you have a very good bone and are a disciple of this old man. Let's protect the peace of this world together.' Unless he was a retard, it was best to let the old man keep his mouth shut so that they would not hurt each other when the time comes.

"You little child, this old man is cherishing the good fortune, and you still don't know what's good for you!" The old man was not angry at all as he jokingly scolded Gongsun Ze Tian.

"Let's fight first! This brat's character is: 'Don't be courteous if you can hit me'! "Please take responsibility!" Gongsun Ztian pretended that he was a reckless youngster. Of course, the arrogance and scoundrel in his words suited his disguised identity. His acting skills were definitely different from the norm, and no one could match him.

"Haha, little brat, you really know how to speak poor words. Whatever, this old man is unable to endure any longer. I'll play a few moves with you!" The old man looked up at the sky and laughed heartily as he spoke to Gongsun Zhaotian excitedly.

The moment the old man finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to become extremely heavy, as the heavy pressure suddenly fell upon the bodies of everyone present. The heavy pressure instantly caused some of the weaker cultivators who had not been prepared to fall to the ground to the ground, and Situ Qingyun had even used all his strength to carry his sword on him, in order to not make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

However, not long after, everyone felt their bodies lighten again, as if the heavy pressure in the air had completely disappeared. However, as the heavy pressure disappeared, the figures of another four elders appeared beside Yan Luo. They did not speak, and instead stared at the center of the stage.

Amongst the four elders who suddenly arrived, one of them was the most conspicuous, because he was holding onto a long-handled Ghost Head Scythe. Yan Luo and the figure on the side immediately bowed to the old man who was holding onto the Ghost Head Scythe, then to the other three elders. Yan Luo and the shadow said at the same time as they bowed, "We greet the Chief Elder and the three elders!"

Actually, the pressure on the outside and outside of the arena did not disappear. The pressure outside the arena was actually offset by the power of a few elders who had just appeared, so the spectators outside the arena did not feel anything.

At this time, the pressure within the arena was increasing unabated. There were even some small stones that began to crack under the pressure, turning into fine powder. It was evident just how terrifying this pressure was!

This kind of heavy pressure was caused by the two of them competing with the forces they had released. Only warriors at the fifth level or higher would have such a method of suppressing the two forces, but they also needed the guidance of a master, otherwise, the slightest mistake would bring disaster upon themselves.

Just as the two were arguing with each other, the hearts of Situ Qingyun and Leng Nuohan who were outside the stage were involuntarily shivered. Not for anything else, but only for the four elders who had just arrived. From the actions of Yan Luo and the shadow just now towards the four people, it could be concluded that these old men came from the Surveillance Council.

Based on Situ Qingyun's status within the empire and his family background, the two of them could roughly guess the background of the four elders. Especially the leading old man with the long sickle in his hand, combined with the rumours in the martial arts world, he should be the one known as the 'Death Hate' Cui Ziyi, and the Ghost Head Sickle, was his personal weapon, the 'Ghost Moon Sickle Slash', and his current identity was the Supervising Patriarch's old home's Chief Elder.

Now that they knew Cui Ziyi's identity, then the people behind him should all be elders from the elders' courtyard in Surveillance Council. Even the one in the middle of the stage was most likely one of the elders as well. Judging from the large saber that the elder had thrown out, the elder's identity was quickly linked to the two of them.

He was indeed the younger brother of the Chief Elder Cui Ziyi, but his reputation did not rely solely on his elder brother. The person who was known as the 'Thousand Slaughtering Knife' in the Jiang Hu was not a curse, nor was it that he was a nobody. Instead, he was referring to the large blade he used, which had killed at least a thousand people.

And because of this, when he was serious, his body would always be entangled with heavy killing intent and hostility. This was an extremely clear contrast to his usual appearance. Who would have thought that a kind-looking person was actually a great fiend? After guessing the identity of the other party, both Situ Qingyun and Leng Nuohan felt their hearts beat like a drum, and both of them subconsciously perspired deeply for Gongsun Ze Tian.

Other than that, what made the two of them puzzled was that they could not understand why the Elders Guild would suddenly come so fast, even the Chief Elder had sent them out, this was not logical. This was because in order to handle matters of the Surveillance Council, it was not wise to use the Elders and Headmasters unless it was a big problem, not to mention that the Chief Elder had personally come. What could possibly cause them to gather so many people?

Gongsun Ze Tian acted as if nothing had happened. He did not feel uncomfortable at all under the heavy pressure from the center of the arena. There was even a smile on his face. He did not show any signs of forcing himself to do so.

With Gongsun Ze Tian's mental strength, he had already figured out the opponent's true strength. The old man in front of him was definitely not weak, according to Gongsun Ze Tian's judgement, his true power should be at the middle level of the seventh level, equivalent to the Nascent Soul level.

Of course, this sort of comparison was only a rough measurement of one's mental state and power. In reality, this was not a scientific way of weighing true strength. A true Nascent Soul Stage expert was far more powerful than the experts of the seventh level on this continent.

For example, a Cultivator who had just entered the Dao could effortlessly kill a group of so-called Innate Rankers who had practiced martial arts for decades. This was the difference between the two. The real Cultivator was not only incomparably strong in himself, but was also able to use special methods to connect the heaven and earth, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to assist in his attack. Not only did the Cultivator possess extremely powerful treasures, he also possessed many mystical formations helping him.

These advantages could not be compared with any cultivator in the Honglong Continent. Therefore, even though this old man had reached the seventh level, in Gongsun Zhaitian's eyes, he was not even comparable to a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. In fact, he was only slightly stronger than a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

On the other hand, although Gongsun Ze Tian's strength had only reached the fifth level of cultivation, and he had only recently received heavy injuries, his eyes and cultivation level was much higher than this old man's. Adding to that, Gongsun Ze Tian's cultivation base was the Heavenly Bestowal Scripture and the Heaven Punisher Art, to a certain extent, Gongsun Ze Tian's true strength had completely surpassed the Cultivator s of the same level. Even if Gongsun Ze Tian was in the Heaven Realm, he still had the ability to challenge opponents of a higher level.

"Old Master, I've been waiting for the flowers to come out and thank you!" Gongsun Ztian could not help but urge when he saw that the old man was already full of energy.

"Elder, moving is inconvenient, please take responsibility!" The old man also replied with a smile.

However, just as he finished his sentence, the old man's figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood. The next time he appeared, he viciously punched out at Gongsun Ze Tian's face.

Gongsun Ztian did not hesitate. He did not want to clash head on with the old man. He turned his body to the side and punched the old man. He then raised his leg and kicked.

The old man didn't pay any attention to the whip kick. He turned his fist into an elbow and swung it down. Gongsun Zaitian could not avoid using both of his hands to block with all his might.

With a 'boom', Gongsun Ze Tian was smashed to the ground. At the same time, Gongsun Ze Tian's whip kick landed on the old man's body, sending him flying.

The exchange this time was completed in a split-second. Everyone was flabbergasted by what they saw, but at the same time, they were also sincerely impressed by the strength of the two.
