Chapter 35: Chu Jiang was dumbfounded, his move suffered another defeat

The sight outside the cave left Chu Jiang and his disciples completely stunned.

What they had thought would be a beast tide turned into a slaughter.

"Outside… wasn't there supposed to be a beast tide? Not to mention outer disciples, even inner disciples couldn't possibly slaughter the entire beast tide!" Chu Jiang and the others stood frozen in place.

They had no idea what had happened.

Who could be this fierce?

Jiang Hai?

Foundation Establishment Second Layer—how could that be possible!

At that moment, a faint unease rose in Chu Jiang's heart.

Leading his disciples, they rushed swiftly toward the outside world, and merely passing by, they encountered over a hundred ferocious beasts.

They felt as if they were in a dream.

And just then, a faint sound came from the woods, and it was very familiar.

"These ferocious beasts are pretty much killed off; next should be promotion to inner door, with no obstacles—congratulations in advance, Brother Qin and Brother Zhang."

"Yeah, we also have to thank Brother Qin; without you, we'd likely be among the first eliminated, not even receiving spirit stone rewards."

Jiang Hai and the others now offered their heartfelt congratulations.

At this moment, everyone heard a sparse sound coming from the woods.

They turned sharply: "Who!?"

Chu Jiang walked out with a grim face: "These ferocious beasts—did you kill them?"

"How could that be possible? A Body Tempering Ninth Layer and a few Foundation Establishment First and Second Layers slaughtering a beast tide—are you joking?"

Chu Jiang shouted, "If it really was them who dealt with them, then even if we now go look for stray beasts, we couldn't catch up on points."

His heart trembled immensely.

His flawless plan actually lost……

"Heh, it seems these beast tides are related to you—unable to win in open combat, you resort to scheming tricks, utterly useless."

"Even if you used those scheming tricks, even if the beast tide erupted, Brother Qin easily resolved it." Jiang Hai snorted coldly, displeasure showing on his face.

He never acknowledged Chu Jiang from start to finish.

If it weren't for his good luck breaking through to Foundation Establishment Third Layer, he would have had no chance at a top-three placement.

Chu Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint chill flashing forth.

"Could it be that you now think your spots are secure?"

"Strike, suppress them, and blast them out of the demon beast secret realm."

As long as they leave using transmission talismans, their points reset to zero, still leaving them in the negative.

We still have a chance.

Upon hearing that, several disciples behind him surged forward to attack, activating several spiritual treasures that burst with brilliant light.

Chu Jiang also produced a spiritual treasure armor, fully equipped; even against a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer cultivator, he could hold his own.

Thus, he felt no fear.

Jiang Hai and the others, without a word, stirred their spiritual energy, rushed forward, and began the melee.

Five-colored spiritual energy burst forth, scattering wildly in the woods.

Chu Jiang's gaze fell directly on Qin Yu, and he snorted coldly: "I said before I would personally blast you off the stage—too bad we never met in the outer world grand competition."

"Damn it, die!"

Seeing this, Zhang Wu's mouth twitched involuntarily as he shifted his body aside… if that guy went after someone else, he'd still have a slim chance.

Seek Brother Yu.

That would be purely seeking death.

"Vajra Method, activate!"

Qin Yu's qi and blood surged to the utmost at this moment, rushing outward.

"Coincidentally, I had the same idea."

Chu Jiang's earlier actions made him extremely displeased.

He continually targeted their side.

Those few originally had a chance to make the top 32.

Entering the top 32 would grant them an opportunity to break through to Foundation Establishment.

This amounted to artificial interference, severing people's cultivation path.

"Boom!"

A punch blasted out violently, the howling fist wind exploding directly.

The two collided; Chu Jiang felt his palm go numb, and even heard a faint cracking sound from his bones.

He had roughly over twenty thousand pounds of physical strength, and with this spiritual treasure armor, it amounted to nearly thirty thousand pounds.

But now, in the fleshly collision, he found himself at a disadvantage.

Chu Jiang was quite bewildered.

Is this the Body Tempering Realm?

"Boom!"

Another punch blasted out; a faint golden light shone on Qin Yu's right fist, as if myriad phenomena of Buddhist Dharma appeared.

Chu Jiang blocked with both arms, but was sent flying straight away, the bones in his arms breaking.

Chu Jiang fell to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

In the depths of his eyes, an expression of disbelief appeared.

"This is impossible... How can your physical strength reach this extent?"

"You're only at the Body Tempering Realm!"

Not only him, even Jiang Hai and the others were a bit dazed.

Earlier, when dealing with the beast tide, they guessed Qin Yu was using some special means.

Only then could they reap.

They also knew his combat strength was comparable to Foundation Establishment Third Level, which is why they were willing to give up two spots.

But now... Qin Yu's displayed strength might not even reach Foundation Establishment Fifth Level.

Chu Jiang, in Qin Yu's hands, was like a child.

Two punches directly rendered him useless.

That spirit treasure armor even had faint cracks.

Is this even human?

Now I feel even more relieved that our earlier decision was correct.

Whoever opposes Qin Yu is just asking for death.

Qin Yu walked forward again, waving his right hand, clenched into a fist.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Chu Jiang quickly crushed the transmission talisman, daring not to delay even a bit.

If another punch comes, I fear I'll die on the spot!

This guy is too fierce.

Whose Body Tempering Realm physical strength could reach this extent?

I was both laughing and crying; if I'd known Qin Yu was this fierce, I wouldn't dare oppose him even if it meant beating him to death.

Before leaving, Chu Jiang didn't even dare to utter a harsh word.

From now on, Qin Yu and he are no longer disciples on the same level.

Now if he still dares to spout harsh words, he's just an idiot.

After all these years, Chu Jiang has been able to hold the position of Outer Door Senior Brother; his intellect and methods are naturally not lacking.

Earlier, we had already raised our evaluation of Qin Yu without limit.

We regarded his combat strength as Foundation Establishment Third Level.

Chu Jiang even borrowed various spirit treasures, allowing his strength to temporarily reach Foundation Establishment Fourth Level.

Otherwise, Chu Jiang wouldn't have made a move.

"Chu Senior Brother ran? Quickly crush the transmission talisman!"

Seeing this, the other several disciples also scattered, daring not to delay even a bit.

Even the boss ran; what are they fighting for?

Jiang Hai and the others exchanged glances.

Fortunately, there's still one spot left.

They can still compete for it.

It's not as bad as Chu Jiang, who has the highest realm but didn't even make the top three.

Just then, a faint voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"The monster beast trial ends; in ten breaths, all disciples will be transmitted to the Outer Door Square."
