“Qing Ling, don’t worry, I have no intention of going against Uncle Ao's wishes. However, my purpose for coming to Cang Xuan City is singular: to take you as my wife. But this kid’s appearance has really annoyed me.
Kid, since you’ve also broken through to Earth Saint, then this Young Master is challenging you to a duel. Are you brave enough to accept?”
Li Dongyu's body radiated terrifying soul fire, transforming him into a being of crimson gold, shining like a deity.
“Whoever wins has the right to marry Qing Ling. Do you dare?”
Boom! One stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Li Dongyu’s words ignited the entire square.
Qin Chen and Li Dongyu battling… this is a major event!
Who is Li Dongyu?
The heir of the Soul Fire family, a renowned prodigy within Yunzhou, a figure of greatness who once killed an early-stage Earth Saint with peak Mortal Saint-level cultivation.
And Qin Chen?
Unknown origins, but previously he defeated the two young masters, Xue Xingyun and Gu Qizun, both of whom were Earth Saint-level cultivators, with Mortal Saint-level cultivation.
Regardless of who it is, both are legends in Yunzhou.
Now, these two are going to challenge each other; how can this not excite everyone?
Moreover, this duel is to compete for the hand of Miss Ao Qing Ling, which has further ignited the blood of countless martial artists in Cang Xuan City, stirring their gossiping spirits into a blaze.
“Li Dongyu, what nonsense are you spouting?”
Ao Qing Ling's face changed, flushed with embarrassment and fury.
“Father.”
She looked up and shouted towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
She knew her father must be watching, wanting him to come out and stop this.
However, there was complete silence from the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Dongyu smiled; he already knew the City Lord Mansion's stance and believed that Ao Lie wouldn’t intervene, as someone of his caliber would want to see this battle.
He also believed Ao Lie had figured out his purpose for coming to Cang Xuan City. As long as he demonstrated sufficient strength and talent, Ao Lie would definitely fall into his trap.
“What's the matter?
Do you dare?”
Li Dongyu looked at Qin Chen with pride.
Qin Chen stared at Li Dongyu, suddenly smiling, but the smile sent chills down people's spines; it was exceedingly cruel.
“You finally couldn’t hold back?”
Qin Chen sneered, “Since you seek death so much, this Young Master doesn’t mind fulfilling your wish.”
“Qin Chen…” Ao Qing Ling’s face turned beet red, filled with embarrassment, yet she was immensely anxious.
At this moment, the terrifying aura emanating from Li Dongyu felt like an abyss, too horrifying. Ao Qing Ling had a feeling that even though Li Dongyu's cultivation was only at the early peak of Earth Saint, his strength was absolutely alarming.
It should be noted, at his peak in Mortal Saint level, he had already slain ordinary early-stage Earth Saint martial artists as easily as picking fruit; now having broken through to the early peak of Earth Saint, how terrifying would his strength be?
And Qin Chen? Though he also broke through to Earth Saint, it was a fluke at the last moment, and there was naturally a difference between the two.
“Don’t worry, I’m not fighting for you. You are a person, not an object; I dislike others being wagered as stakes. I just can’t stand this clown, jumping around in front of me. Since he wants to die, I will naturally help him.”
Qin Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled, a chilling glint flashing in his gaze.
“Arrogant, but utterly meaningless.”
Li Dongyu scoffed coldly; even at this moment, Qin Chen was still trying to spar verbally.
He revealed a cruel expression; he had been waiting a long time for this “feast,” and now he was eager to enjoy it.
Killing a genius of similar strength would infinitely inspire his martial heart.
Indeed, he was such a bloodthirsty person, having held back for a long time.
“All sons of heaven, I am the strongest!”
Li Dongyu said lightly, his tone imbued with unspeakable pride.
