Bam!
Su Ji collapsed stiffly to the ground, his vacant eyes filled with confusion and shock.
He never imagined that Luo Cheng would actually dare kill him outright!
Even more so, he hadn’t expected Luo Cheng’s sword to be so fast!
So fast that he couldn’t even react!
Watching this scene, everyone in the audience was utterly stunned.
They only felt that Luo Cheng was too ruthless, decisive and cold-blooded—completely unlike a fourteen-year-old youth!
Only Luo Yao remained unmoved, as if she had anticipated this.
She was already familiar with Luo Cheng’s way of handling things back in Qishan City.
The plaza fell into a brief silence.
Imdiately after, an explosive roar erupted from the direction of the Crown Prince Hall mbers.
"Outrageous!"
"Unforgivable! This is complete lawlessness!"
The crowd from the Crown Prince Hall was enraged.
He killed soone without warning, without even giving Su Ji a chance to admit defeat!
This was a blatant public humiliation for the Crown Prince Hall!
When had they ever suffered such disgrace?
"This guy is truly insane! Brazenly slaughtering a mber of our Crown Prince Hall!"
Ren Xiaoguang’s face was full of fury, his killing intent chilling.
At his side, Qi Guyun remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on Luo Cheng. His eyes were as cold as ice—cold enough to pierce to the bone!
At that mont, the referee elder for Ring Three snapped back to his senses. He turned abruptly towards Luo Cheng, a powerful aura emanating from him as he bellowed:
"Impudent! Luo Cheng, Su Ji admitted defeat, yet you dared to kill him anyway! Such cruelty! Have you no regard for the Sect Rules? This Outer Sect tournant is not a place for your reckless behavior!"
He too had not expected Luo Cheng to kill so directly. By the ti he reacted, it was already too late!
The victim was a mber of the Crown Prince Hall. With the Eighth Prince Jin Min present, this could very well be another mark against him!
Luo Cheng stood unfazed by the elder’s intimidating aura and said calmly:
"I didn’t hear him admit defeat. Besides, he declared the mont he arrived that I would surely die today. Isn’t that a challenge? Why is it that he can try to kill , but I can’t fight back?"
"Still making excuses! When did Su Ji ever officially challenge you? This was just a sparring match between peers, and yet you were so vicious. Now you’re shalessly twisting your words—your cri is compounded!"
The referee elder’s eyes widened in fury, his vast aura causing the very air to tremble faintly. Mid-sentence, he prepared to strike and teach Luo Cheng a lesson.
But just then—
"I heard it!"
A voice suddenly rang out. Tuoba Lie stood up and shouted:
"Su Ji said as he stepped onto the platform that Luo Cheng wouldn’t escape death! That’s clearly a declaration of war!"
Chen Lingyu also nodded. "Exactly."
"It’s true; I heard it as well. If soone threatens your life and you don’t fight back, then what’s the point of practicing martial arts?"
A crisp voice chid in from the VIP seats on the elevated platform.
A Mu erged from one of the private rooms.
Luo Cheng was greatly surprised. He had not expected A Mu to be here, let alone speak up in his defense.
The referee elder hadn’t anticipated soone stepping forward for Luo Cheng either and found himself montarily at a loss for words.
At this mont, Qi Guyun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"It’s true. Su Ji indeed challenged Luo Cheng; it was a life-and-death duel, and both parties knew the stakes. Su Ji’s death is solely due to his lack of strength."
Then, Qi Guyun’s tone shifted sharply as he turned to Luo Cheng, his voice fierce and resolute:
"Luo Cheng, you’ve already killed several mbers of my Crown Prince Hall! For the rest of this tournant, we will fight to the death with you, no retreat, no surrender! Do you dare?"
Qi Guyun’s gaze was sharp as a blade, locking onto Luo Cheng.
At this point, there was no need to hide or hold back!
Qi Guyun directly issued a death match challenge!
Luo Cheng smirked coldly. He had long anticipated this.
Qi Guyun wanted to kill him during the Outer Sect tournant without facing punishnt from the sect—this was the only way to do it!
"Since you’re seeking death, I won’t refuse."
Luo Cheng’s calm voice resounded across the entire plaza.
The crowd gasped collectively in shock, unable to believe that Luo Cheng was so quick to agree.
Was he really planning to take on the entire Crown Prince Hall by himself?
This was beyond arrogance—it was madness!
"Good!"
Qi Guyun’s eyes sparkled with an unsettling glint, and a cold smile curved his lips.
He hadn’t expected Luo Cheng to fall for such a simple provocation!
Now, not even the heavens could save Luo Cheng!
On the elevated platform, the Fifth Elder, who had taken quite a liking to Luo Cheng, furrowed his brows deeply and remarked:
"This isn’t right. A perfectly good Outer Sect tournant has turned into a personal grudge match between Luo Cheng and the Crown Prince Hall!"
Great Elder Qin Yun glanced at Jin Min, whose expression remained stoic, and then said:
"Since both parties have consented to this, let them settle it themselves. If we intervene rashly, it could create more trouble, and we’d end up becoming a laughingstock. It’s better to let them resolve this on their own!"
"But..."
The Fifth Elder started to object, but Qin Yun imdiately cut him off: "That’s enough. I’ll handle whatever happens."
The Fifth Elder reluctantly nodded in agreent. As the Great Elder of the Outer Sect and soone backed by the Crown Prince Hall, Qin Yun’s strength and status far exceeded his own.
At this point, there was no longer any reason for the referee elder for Ring Three to pursue the matter. He looked at Luo Cheng once more, then announced:
"Luo Cheng is victorious!"
Luo Cheng stepped down from the platform and returned to his seat. He turned to Tuoba Lie and Chen Lingyu and said, "Thanks for speaking up just now."
Standing up for him now definitely placed them in the line of fire.
Tuoba Lie chuckled. "What’s there to thank? I was just telling the truth!"
Luo Cheng smiled faintly and said no more, avoiding excessive politeness.
Chen Lingyu asked, "Junior Brother, what are your plans next?"
Luo Cheng was montarily taken aback. "Plans?"
Chen Lingyu exclaid, "You’re not seriously planning to challenge the Crown Prince Hall to a death match, are you? That’s reckless!"
"I know you’ve made incredible progress recently, really incredible! But no matter how strong you are, taking on the entire Crown Prince Hall is impossible. The top ten disciples alone are insurmountable! Once the match begins, there’s no turning back!"
Tuoba Lie looked at Luo Cheng as well.
The two had originally thought that Luo Cheng’s agreent with Qi Guyun was just a temporary tactic.
Yet now, it seed otherwise.
Luo Cheng smiled lightly and said, "Senior Sister, just wait and see. The Crown Prince Hall may be strong, but I’m not a pushover!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a sharp, unparalleled aura emanated from Luo Cheng. Chen Lingyu felt an overwhelming sense of danger sweep over her, as though even the slightest flicker of her thoughts could lead to being slaughtered! Her heart began to race uncontrollably, pounding fiercely!
"What... what’s happening..."
When Chen Lingyu snapped out of it, her palms were already drenched in cold sweat, her expression uncertain.
On the tournant stage, one match after another began and ended quickly.
Before long, the eighth round concluded.
In the next two rounds, Luo Cheng’s opponents turned out not to be mbers of the Crown Prince Hall, and both chose to surrender outright.
This left the eager crowd sowhat disappointed.
Luo Cheng had openly declared war on the Crown Prince Hall—it was a life-and-death battle!
The audience was already impatient to see him clash with the elite warriors of the Crown Prince Hall.
Round Eleven!
"Ring Seven, Luo Cheng versus Zhuang Qianyang!"
As the announcent rang out, the entire plaza erupted.
Zhuang Qianyang! Ranked 31st on the Outer Sect’s Top Hundred List, the undisputed strongest in this bracket. So far, ten matches, ten victories—undefeated!
What’s more, he was a mber of the Crown Prince Hall!
