It was time to find out who was better!

While the voice was not very loud, it was filled with a strong will and the fullest confidence.

Zhou Bao proceeded to step on a hollow. His green robe fluttered in the wind. With his hands behind his back, he looked like a scholar standing on a mountain peak, enjoying the cool breeze and high-spiritedly giving his two cents about everything.

“You’re indeed not bad. Who knew that a strong young man would come out of Central Mainland Region! This is beyond my expectation!” Senior Grand Tutor Hong was not going to admit defeat. He reappeared in mid-air, wearing a dark red robe, a jade belt and a Violet Gold Cap. He also had an inch-long moustache. He looked at Zhou Bao in admiration. “However, it may not be that easy to defeat me!”

“There’s no other way, we have already come this far. Let’s fight!” Zhou Bao showed his relentlessness. He looked at the happy Yan Yuntian and said, “Did you not see that my old father-in-law is already preparing to celebrate?!”

“Hahaha, good, I like young people like you. Let’s stop chatting. I shall find out about your capabilities!” As he spoke, Senior Grand Tutor Hong disappeared again. The thousands of puppets that had been behind Senior Grand Tutor Hong approached Zhou Bao in a frenzy.

Zhou Bao smirked. He raised his hand and a storm of swords evolved from Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi rolled towards the puppets and knocked them all down.

Boom!

Flesh and blood flew, while limbs were scattered everywhere. Although Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was powerful, there were too many puppets and they were of extremely high cultivation. The sword storm was unable to stop them all. After killing hundreds of the puppets, Zhou Bao found himself surrounded by another thousand of them.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Despite being surrounded by the horde of puppets, Zhou Bao was not afraid. He swung his fist and all of them were defeated. Regardless of their levels of cultivation, all of them dissipated into a fog of blood. This effect of his fist was comparable to Flipping Sky Seal and Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

All he had done was swing his fist around to strike the puppets. The puppets were no match for him, but Zhou Bao was unable to locate the Real Body of Senior Grand Tutor Hong among the crowd.

While he could not find his Real Body, Zhou Bao believed that it was in the crowd. With his keen eyesight, it would not be difficult for him to clearly distinguish the faces of each puppet. Even so, he was uncertain which one was Senior Grand Tutor Hong.

After a few attempts, Zhou Bao realized that he needed to use a different approach.

With a twist of his body, he managed to escape from the puppets. As he looked at the crowd of puppets leaping towards him, he gave a cold smile. He flipped his hand and a gold circle appeared in his hand. He then threw it into the air.

“Jeet!”

As Zhou Bao growled, the golden circle flashed violently. An incomparable suction force was released from inside the circle. The puppets were unable to resist the huge force. Their footsteps became unstable and all of them flew towards the circle. As the puppets disappeared into the circle at increasing speed, the number left standing decreased exponentially. In the blink of an eye, half of them had been sucked in.

“Gold Bracelet!”

The display of power from the circle drew numerous gasps. Everyone looked at Zhou Bao with incredulous expressions. Yu Taixu’s eyes were no longer narrowed. Instead, he stared at Zhou Bao with a strange look.

First, it had been Flipping Sky Seal, then it was Poison Cold Shield, now it was Gold Bracelet. This guy had just taken out two Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices. He then thought of the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices that Zhou Bao stole, as well as the rumored devices, such as Golden Flame Mirror and Golden-Scaled Cudgel. It was amazing that Zhou Bao owned so many Pure Yang Celestial Devices despite his young age, to the extent that he could be considered a treasure himself!

However, this was not the time to dwell on this. Zhou Bao might have gained the upper hand when he produced the Gold Bracelet replica, but the fight was far from over. Senior Grand Tutor Hong was someone who had the ability to snatch the position of lord of Divine Wind Palace from Yu Taixu. It was probable that he had powerful assets too.

When Hong Xuanlong had fought for the Inner Elixir of the essence and blood of Evil Fire Kylin, some of those assets had been exhibited. Surely, as the real ruler of the Hong Family, Senior Grand Tutor Hong would be no less powerful than Hong Xuanlong.

Therefore, Zhou Bao started to get more nervous when fake Gold Bracelet dispatched half of the puppets.

As expected, a red light suddenly flashed from the crowd of puppets. The red light continued to flash violently and enveloped the Gold Bracelet in a few seconds. The suction force disappeared and the remaining puppets were scattered.

Zhou Bao stared and realised that the red light had been emitted by a small, sleek, long-necked jade bottle. The bottle looked primitive and was formed from a ruby. There were faint lines on its body and strong Pure Yang Qi was coming out of it. This was an Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Device.

“I found you!” Zhou Bao saw that the fake Gold Bracelet had been blocked, but he was happy. In a flash, his body disappeared.

“Urgh!”

As Zhou Bao disappeared, a succession of strange cries was heard from the puppets. A shadow shot out from the crowd, with copious amounts of blood uncontrollably spurting out from it.

“Good!” As these events unfolded, even Yu Taixu could not help but stand and applaud Zhou Bao. But soon, his eyebrows furrowed.

Zhou Bao doubted that Senior Grand Tutor Hong had been defeated by that punch. The punch had been too easy. Furthermore, Zhou Bao had felt an odd resistance when he delivered the punch. It was as if his punch had landed on an object instead of a human body.

Hence, out of caution, he did not try to catch up.

“Fella, you’re not bad!” Indeed, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was the figure that had been retreating. Although he was losing blood, his voice was still strong.

“This cunning guy!” Yu Taixu hissed quietly. Zhou Bao’s facial muscles twitched. Indeed, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was a cunning guy. The figure he had just punched was merely a puppet.

The truth was, Senior Grand Tutor Hong had never arrived at the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. It had been his puppet masquerading as him all along.

It was possibly because of this charade that people suspected that Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s cultivation was only at Level Nine and had not yet reached Mysterious Realm.

Abruptly, the atmosphere became strange. In the sky, only the fake Gold Bracelet and the Long-necked Red Jade Bottle remained. Zhou Bao was in a stand-off with the puppets. While the bracelet had taken down a huge number of them, the remaining puppets posed a formidable threat. With his temper, Zhou Bao would have started the fight by now. However, he did not do so. as he could not figure out what Senior Grand Tutor Hong had up his sleeves. If Zhou Bao killed all the puppets, he would have to be wary of the tutor. If he found the chance to kill Yan Yuntian, then all that he had done just now would be in vain. He was reluctant to admit this to himself, but he realised that what he had done just now had not been a wise move.

While it seemed like Zhou Bao was in a stand-off with a large number of puppets, he was really worried about poor Yan Yuntian!

The stand-off continued for a while as if they were appreciating each other. There were no other actions taken. This made Child-endowing Buddha raise his guard.

“I say, are you two being match-made? If you want to fight, then please do it! I’m already done with my popcorn, if you’re not gonna do it then I’m going home!” Child-endowing Buddha shouted strangely. While it seemed like he was shouting strangely, he was actually using the secret way of Lotus Flower on the Tongue. It startled Zhou Bao and Senior Grand Tutor Hong felt apologetic.

There were so many people watching. The authority figures from the five biggest sects, as well as the audience from the big sect of Three Western Regions, were all watching. Senior Grand Tutor Hong was a long-standing public figure. He had been famous long before Zhao Bao’s great-great-grandfather of the fella existed. While his name was spread around the world, Zhao Bao’s great-great-grandmother was still drinking milk!

Right now, the stand-off had lasted too long. They were evenly-matched and he had even suffered a bit. This was indeed embarrassing. If he did not settle this soon, he could forget about the fight with Yu Taixu. He would have lost his pride even if he helped Emperor Yang take the throne!

“This thief is actually quite smart!~” Zhou Bao also noticed the same point. After Child-endowing Buddha shouted, he was extra careful. But soon, he found out that he was being overly cautious.

This was because Senior Grand Tutor Hong had chosen to fight a real fight and not use sneaky tricks in order to prove himself.

Yes, his own strength.

A pair of iron fists emerged from the hollow. It was accompanied by a boundless exploding Qi Power and the belief to destruct everything in sight. It appeared in the hollow and came straight for Zhou Bao.

Fist!

Having felt the coldness and killing intent of the fists, Zhou Bao’s gaze focused.

Lord of Heaven!

Yes, Lord of Heaven!

This punch alone had already frozen the space on Turtle Back Mountain. This punch alone had separated Zhou Bao from the space around him. At this moment, Zhou Bao felt like he was an insect trapped in resin. He could not budge at all.

He could only let Hong Taihe and the fist bombard him to death.

“Good timing!” Zhou Bao’s body was unable to move. He did not try to escape from the frozen space. He only flashed between the eyebrows and a black and red Sword Qi shot out, aiming for the fists.

Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!

Boom!

As the fists met with the sword, the sword light instantly dispersed. The fists stopped for a while, before aiming for Zhou Bao again.

“Good punching skill!” In the small pause, Zhou Bao understood the beauty of this move.

Zhou Bao’s eyes began to shine so brightly!
