At this moment, Wu Hong's grief was unimaginable!
He valued his four major disciples the most. Among them, Mu Mengyi had left, Bai Xu had jumped off a cliff yesterday to end his life, and now Lin Dong had fallen as well!
"Second Senior Brother!" On Crouching Dragon Platform No. 1, the towering Tai Shan gazed at the remains on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, letting out a heart-wrenching cry. Tears streamed down his rugged face!
In the hearts of all the disciples of the Beast Spirit Lineage, Tai Shan and Lin Dong's strengths were equal, both ranking first. However, this was not the case in reality!
Only the deceased Lin Dong knew that he was no longer a match for Tai Shan since three months ago, when the two had fought, resulting in Tai Shan's victory over Lin Dong!
Out of consideration for Lin Dong's feelings, Tai Shan had never mentioned this to outsiders, still telling others that they were evenly matched.
The reason he did this was that although Lin Dong appeared quite small in front of Tai Shan, he treated Tai Shan like a real brother, sharing both good fortune and hardships!
Therefore, Tai Shan was heartbroken!
"Buzz!"
"Bang!"
Tai Shan leaped hundreds of feet into the air, like a fierce ape, appearing above Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, then jumped down!
As Tai Shan's body bent, preparing to collect Lin Dong's shattered remains, Jun Bu Ping's eyes darkened, and he shouted, "You want to sneak attack me? Seek death!"
"Buzz!"
The space surged like waves. Jun Bu Ping, utilizing the Ancient Tomb Scriptures, unleashed a burst of ancient power from his right palm, instantly appearing at a low altitude, and struck with all his might towards Tai Shan's back!
"Tai Shan, be careful!" Wu Hong on the Jade Tower exclaimed, his eyes wide with urgency!
"Get lost!" Tai Shan suddenly roared. His tower-like body was not only agile but incredibly swift as well. His right arm surrounded by spiritual power swept backward with tremendous force, striking Jun Bu Ping's palm!
"Bang!"
Immediately, a storm of energy exploded into concentric circles, the overwhelming residual force grinding Lin Dong's shattered remains to dust on the high platform!
"Sizzle!"
Jun Bu Ping's right arm trembled violently, his body sent flying ten feet by Tai Shan's strike. He spun in mid-air and staggered back several steps upon landing before steadying himself!
In contrast, Tai Shan remained unmoved!
Jun Bu Ping's right arm went numb, trembling in shock, "What immense power!"
"Stop!" Shi Changqing said sternly, "Jun Bu Ping, you clearly know Tai Shan is here to collect Lin Dong's remains, yet you still attacked. What do you mean by this?"
"It doesn't mean anything." Jun Bu Ping replied coldly, "I thought he was going to sneak attack, which is why I acted. Since it was a misunderstanding, then let's leave it at that."
"Hmph!" Shi Changqing snorted, left speechless. After all, it was Tai Shan who had jumped onto Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2 himself.
"Hahaha, Chief Shi, please don’t be angry!" The ancient soul practitioner chuckled and announced, "I declare Jun Bu Ping the winner!"
"Good!" The disciples of the Ancient Soul Lineage on the summit erupted in spirited laughter.
As Jun Bu Ping was about to leave Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, Tai Shan's eyes burned red as he said, "In the upcoming matches, if you encounter me, I will tear you into pieces!"
Jun Bu Ping disdainfully shook his head, turning into a blur and appearing on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 3. He cast a glance at Xiang Shengtian and then stood there with his hands behind his back.
On the Jade Tower, the holy spirit path practitioner stood up, "Next, my closed-door disciple will take the stage. Xinyi, don't let your master down."
"Yes, Master." As the melodious voice rang out, Ke Xinyi had already appeared on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2, standing proudly.
The disciples of the Holy Spirit Lineage looked at this Senior Sister with hopeful eyes. They were not only unfamiliar with her but even they did not know Ke Xinyi's true strength!
