Chapter 174: You Are Wang Jianqiang

As soon as Long Aoyu finished speaking, a wisp of Spirit Sense spread out and branded itself directly onto the top of the Battle Stele, upon that name located at the very peak.

The next moment.

The two names, Wang Jianqiang located in the first row of the Battle Stele and Long Aoyu located in the third row, instantly shone brightly.

In the Square, the crowd had not yet recovered from the astonishment of Long Aoyu wanting to challenge Wang Jianqiang, and seeing this scene, they all revealed expressions of shock.

Long Aoyu had actually launched a Contract Battle against Wang Jianqiang!

In the North City District.

Every Cultivator receives one opportunity each month to launch a challenge through the Battle Stele.

Cultivators not yet listed on the Battle Stele can freely choose to challenge any Cultivator on the Battle Stele, while Cultivators already on the Battle Stele can only challenge those with a higher ranking.

This method of challenge is influenced by the Battle Stele and is mandatory, which is why it is also known as a Contract Battle.

The challenged party must accept the challenge within three days, otherwise, they will be judged as having lost by the Battle Stele.

It is precisely because of this mandatory nature, where the challenged party has no autonomy, that this method of challenge is very detested.

It often incites intense murderous intent from the challenged party.

Therefore, once a Contract Battle is launched, it means a life-or-death battle is about to erupt.

Except for a very small number of people who are extremely confident in their own strength, very few people will launch a Contract Battle.

In the past, even if someone had launched a Contract Battle, it was only a challenge from someone not on the Battle Stele against someone at the very bottom of the rankings.

There has never been a precedent within the top thirty.

Let alone the third challenging the first?

"There's a good show to watch."

At this moment, everyone revealed an excited expression.

Within the North City District, very few people have seen Wang Jianqiang make a move.

The vast majority of people have only heard of his exploits.

To have almost challenged the entire top ten of the Battle Stele with the strength of one person, this record is truly a bit too astonishing.

So much so that many people now doubt the authenticity of the rumors.

Thinking that they would soon have the opportunity to see Wang Jianqiang make a move and verify his strength, the crowd could not help but become excited.

Just as the crowd in the Square was shaken by Long Aoyu's act of launching a Contract Battle against Wang Jianqiang, Long Aoyu suddenly sensed a sharp gaze land upon him.

He frowned, looked down, and immediately locked eyes with someone.

"Is it him!"

At the edge of the Square.

Bai Wuqing and the others had rushed over after receiving the message from Nancheng Kong.

At this moment, the six of them had gathered together.

Bai Wuqing stood at the very front of the group, looking up at Long Aoyu in mid-air, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Just a moment ago, he had already seen the change in the rankings on the Battle Stele.

This Long Aoyu had actually pushed his ranking off!

No wonder Wang Jianqiang returned the Shanshui Yunxiu Robe to him.

This mission was indeed not that simple!

Of course.

His strength was also not something that the Battle Stele's simple numerical sensing could reflect.

For instance, his greatest reliance, the Shanshui Yunxiu Robe.

Unless they were truly engaged in battle, the Battle Stele could not calculate it into his strength.

Therefore, he felt not the slightest bit of fear toward this Long Aoyu who had pushed him from the third position; instead, his heart was filled with fighting spirit.

He couldn't beat Wang Jianqiang, and he also didn't consider himself a match for that cultivation fanatic.

But that was because the two people ahead were too monstrous, which did not mean that he, Bai Wuqing, was easy to bully.

This third position was not something just anyone could snatch away!

Who is strong and who is weak, one can only know after fighting.

His reason for attacking Long Aoyu now was no longer just because of Wang Jianqiang's order; there was one more thing to add.

And that was to take back his Battle Stele ranking!

Thinking of this, his gaze instantly became sharp.

He held his palm like a blade and slashed through the air.

A gust of wild wind suddenly appeared, then condensed into a transparent wind blade that slashed toward Long Aoyu.

Wherever it passed, the air twisted.

Seeing Bai Wuqing suddenly make a move, Long Aoyu frowned.

As the Holy Son of the Blood Demon Sect.

He was not some kind-hearted person.

When it came to murderous nature, in the entire Blood Demon Sect, even counting the older generation, he could still rank in the top few.

Among those who were his enemies, besides the group led by Ye Lingyun, only the woman named Mu Lingxi, whom he encountered in the wild during his first year entering the Assessment Secret Realm, had luckily escaped from his hands.

Everyone else had died at his hands.

Now, Bai Wuqing's provocation immediately ignited his murderous nature.

"You don't know what death is."

He let out a cold snort, his expression instantly turning icy, and a strong murderous intent spread out.

In the past, it was always he who took the initiative to provoke others.

This person actually dared to take the initiative to attack him!

Truly seeking death!

A flash of blood-colored light shone within his eyes.

Rolling blood mist continuously surged from within his body, then surged outward like ocean waves.

Amidst a violent churning, the monstrous blood mist rapidly condensed into a blood-colored giant hand, which grabbed the wind blade in one go.

The next moment.

Following a "Crack!" sound.

The wind blade was directly crushed by the blood hand.

"Vulnerable."

A look of mockery flashed across Long Aoyu's face.

However, the smile that had just appeared on his face stiffened the very next moment.

He suddenly discovered that after the wind blade was shattered, it did not dissipate, but instead transformed into countless small wind blades, forming a hurricane gathered from a large number of small wind blades around the blood hand.

Countless small wind blades rotated rapidly with the howling of the hurricane, continuously cutting at the blood hand.

Under the continuous cutting of the small wind blades, the blood hand rapidly collapsed.

A moment later.

The power of the hurricane formed by the wind blades was exhausted and slowly dissipated.

And the blood hand he had condensed also completely shattered.

This strike actually ended in a draw!

Seeing this scene.

The smile on Long Aoyu's face faded, and he looked coldly at Bai Wuqing, "Are you Jiang Xuan or Wang Jianqiang?"

Jiang Xuan is precisely that famous cultivation fanatic in the North City District, the former number one on the Battle Stele before Wang Jianqiang reached the top, and now ranked second on the Battle Stele.

In Long Aoyu's view.

Within the entire Shenfeng City, the only ones capable of so easily receiving this strike of his are Jiang Xuan and Wang Jianqiang.

Hearing Long Aoyu's voice.

Bai Wuqing's expression turned cold.

He heard in the other party's words a deep contempt for him, the current fourth-ranked on the Battle Stele.

He snorted and pointed his finger forward.

A Flying Sword shot out instantly.

"Not talking?"

A flash of blood-colored light shone on Long Aoyu's chest, and a Blood Sword shot out from his chest area, blocking Bai Wuqing's Flying Sword.

Feeling the powerful force transmitted from the Flying Sword, his expression tightened, and he looked at Bai Wuqing with a cold smile, "Do you think that by not responding, I, Long, cannot guess your identity?"

"I, Long, have always been adept at discerning people."

"You only need to reveal a single flaw, and I, Long, will be able to guess your identity."

"You absolutely cannot deceive these eyes of mine, Long."

"You are..."

"Wang Jianqiang!"
