Martial Master

At this moment, Ji Tianqi smiled as he walked onto the stage, saying, “Ouyang Chen of the Void Temple has won. Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge Ouyang Chen for my daughter, Xinyi?”

Ji Tianqi asked several times, but no one stepped forward to respond. It was clear that the top prodigies had lost their courage to continue competing after seeing Ouyang Chen's strength.

Ouyang Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, displaying his immense confidence. He looked at Ji Xinyi, his eyes filled with joy, clearly seeing her as already belonging to him.

But just then,

Boom! A bolt of lightning suddenly surged in the open space, and in the next moment, a towering figure had already appeared on the arena.

Everyone showed shock upon seeing the newcomer, for it was none other than the Master of the Thunder God Sect, Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable.

“Mad Thunder Sect Master, what are you doing here?” Ji Tianqi's expression changed immediately.

Other strong figures also shifted their expressions, a thought of disbelief emerging in their minds—did Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable also wish to compete for marriage?

Damn! This is too outrageous!

It should be known that Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable was a long-established renowned expert, the master of the Thunder God Sect. It was rumored that he had already gained great fame among the human race over a million years ago.

Ji Xinyi, on the other hand, belonged to the younger generation, which is typically defined as those who are close to ten thousand years old.

The two were not from the same era at all; the gap was too significant.

Ouyang Chen, who had been full of confidence, changed colors upon seeing Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable take the stage and quickly said, “Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, senior, is this really appropriate?”

Indeed, Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable's appearance felt excessive.

The Ji family’s marriage competition was supposed to be among the younger generation, and the unspoken rule was that the younger generation would come forward to challenge for marriage. But what did Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable's involvement mean?

“Young man, this is none of your business. Step aside.”

Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable didn’t even spare a glance at Ouyang Chen, speaking casually and disregarding him entirely.

“Sect Master Mad Thunder, you are an elder; why do you need to take the stage?”

Ji Xinyi could no longer contain herself, blurting out, her expression filled with indignation and anger.

She had agreed to the family’s marriage competition under her father’s strong insistence, but if it meant marrying an old man like Ouyang Chen, she would rather die than accept.

That’s right, the Thunder God Sect was a force of heavenly venerables, and Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable was indeed a heavenly venerable expert, but so what?

Ji Xinyi prided herself on her youth; although she was currently only a peak human venerable, her chances of entering the heavenly venerable realm in the future were at least fifty percent. Besides, while Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable was strong, he wasn’t a peak heavenly venerable character.

Most importantly, marrying Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable would be like marrying her family’s great-grandfather or Great Elder—utterly repulsive.

Hearing Ji Xinyi's trembling voice filled with dissatisfaction, an inexplicable desire to protect her surged within Ouyang Chen. Ji Xinyi was destined to be his wife; how could he allow her to suffer such indignity?

Boom! Blood rushed to his head as Ouyang Chen activated his half-step heavenly venerable treasure level palace, stepping forward. An aura reminiscent of a heavenly venerable surged, brimming with killing intent.

Ouyang Chen spoke solemnly to Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, “Sect Master Thunder, I respect you as a senior, but I hope you can behave like one and not go too far.”

“Annoying!”

Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable coldly snorted, raising his hand. With a thunderous boom, a terrifying bolt of lightning surged from his palm, instantly transforming into a Thunder Blade that struck fiercely against Ouyang Chen’s half-step heavenly venerable treasure palace.
