Time passed quickly — in the blink of an eye, the incense's worth of time had elapsed.
"This old man declares the duel to begin,"
"Kill!!!"
The moment those words left his mouth, battle cries erupted ceaselessly. However, all of those cries came exclusively from the
The members of the Fang Heavenly Clan had divided themselves into sixty assault formations. Each formation carried a great banner of the Fang Heavenly Clan, and they began methodically crossing the river, advancing toward the
As for the Chu Heavenly Clan, they had no intention of launching any offensive whatsoever. Instead, they had chosen a resolute defensive strategy.
In the blink of an eye, both sides clashed into a ferocious melee.
At first, the battle was somewhat evenly matched. After all, the Fang Heavenly Clan only had three thousand fighters, and they had to leave a portion behind to hold their own position — so this naturally created a significant numerical disparity compared to the Chu Heavenly Clan's juniors.
However, the deadlock did not last long. After merely an incense's worth of time, the Fang Heavenly Clan had already begun to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this,
Although he had predicted from the very beginning that the Chu Heavenly Clan would lose, he had not expected the Chu Heavenly Clan to fall into such a disadvantageous position so quickly — especially when they still held a numerical advantage and the Fang Heavenly Clan's main forces, such as
This clearly demonstrated one thing: the Chu Heavenly Clan now had no successors of true talent.
"What's wrong with the Chu Heavenly Clan? Are they trying to give up control of the Purple Tree Mortal Realm?" someone suddenly asked.
"There's no way they'd give it up. If they intended to surrender it, the Chu Heavenly Clan's Patriarch would never have agreed to this duel in the first place. The reason it's come to this is actually quite simple — their strength just isn't good enough."
"Even so, this gap is just too wide, isn't it? Young Master Fang Hualong from the Fang Heavenly Clan hasn't even made his move yet."
"He doesn't need to make a move at all. The gap between the two sides is simply too vast. Young Master Fang Hualong has no need to step in — the Chu Heavenly Clan is guaranteed to lose."
"Sigh, think back to how imposing the Chu Heavenly Clan used to be. Who could have imagined they would fall to such a state today?"
Wave after wave of mocking voices rang out, coming from the various powers that had followed the Fang Heavenly Clan here.
They cared nothing for the dignity of the Chu Heavenly Clan's members, nor did they fear provoking the Chu Heavenly Clan's anger. After all, they had come here precisely to watch the Chu Heavenly Clan become a laughingstock.
At that moment, the Chu Heavenly Clan members' hearts burned with fury. Under these circumstances, some began sending secret voice transmissions to
"Lord Hanpeng, we can't just give up control of the Purple Tree Mortal Realm like this. If we do, we'll have failed our ancestors. Please release
Those who had sent the secret transmissions did not actually hold much hope for Chu Feng either. Once they saw Fang Hualong's cultivation at the seventh rank of the Martial Immortal realm, they understood that even if Chu Feng were allowed to participate, they were destined to lose.
However, they did know one thing — if Chu Feng stepped in to fight, at least none of those minor pawns from the Fang Heavenly Clan would be his match. Among the Fang Heavenly Clan's ranks, only Fang Hualong could possibly defeat Chu Feng.
