Chapter 48

Mad! Mad to the extreme! Crazy! Crazy to the point of lawlessness! This was the feeling Zhuge Xiang gave to everyone present.

Previously, Zhuge Xiang's words that dampened the morale of the Green Willow Peak disciples were already no less than a bombshell. Now, he actually claimed he would challenge all the disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation on Green Willow Peak alone. Was this possible? Could he really do it? Impossible!!!

Why couldn't the Green Willow Peak disciples do anything about Zhuge Xiang's provocations? It was because in the Asura Sect, group attacks were a sign of incompetence. If you had the ability, you should challenge them one by one. Dealing with one person as a group, what kind of skill was that? If this news spread, their reputation would be ruined. But now, Zhuge Xiang was boasting that he would challenge all the disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation on Green Willow Peak...

Zhuge Xiang's words left everyone stunned. Even the few disciples at the Body Tempering Stage in the crowd were shocked, their eyes wide open. Although they already knew this new disciple was arrogant, his arrogance had reached a level that could no longer be explained by a single word. This was sheer foolishness. Yes, foolishness. Challenge everyone alone? Do you think you have the cultivation of the Seventh or Eighth Stage of Body Tempering, completely immune to any attack?

"Overconfident to the point of losing oneself. Everything should have a limit. Exceeding this limit is courting destruction," one of the Body Tempering Stage disciples in the crowd shook his head, putting away his shocked expression.

"Zhuge Xiang..." Niu Geng and others' faces showed worry. Challenging all the disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation alone? This was too crazy. Although only over a thousand disciples stood up, at least a hundred of them were above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation. So many people, even a two-star mid-grade beast could be overwhelmed. Although two-star beasts had strong physical defenses, as the saying goes, water can wear through stone. Over a hundred disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation attacking together could grind anything to death.

"What does he rely on? Based on his current abilities, it's absolutely impossible. Challenging over a hundred people isn't just about having powerful attacks. Could it be? Can his so-called 'Frenzy Step' be used infinitely again?" Lu Yuling's eyes showed a strange light as she stared intently at Zhuge Xiang.

If anyone understood Zhuge Xiang the most, it was Lu Yuling. She knew very well that Zhuge Xiang was not the type to act impulsively. Since he said this, he must have his own confidence. Recalling how Zhuge Xiang used the 'Frenzy Step' infinitely in the grand competition, Lu Yuling thought that if this were the case, the disciples might not even be able to catch his coat tails, and there would be a slight chance of success.

Regardless of what the people around thought about Zhuge Xiang's words, the Green Willow Peak disciples were all red-faced, especially those above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation, who were flushed like liver. A group attack on one person, if this news spread, they would have no face to show. But if they dared not accept his challenge, they would have even less face to stay in the Asura Sect.

"Damn! This is your own fault! Don't blame us..." Anger and embarrassment made over a hundred disciples stand up, glaring at Zhuge Xiang. Compared to a group attack, not daring to accept his challenge would be even more shameful. Over ninety disciples at the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation, over twenty at the Sixth Stage, and even three at the Seventh Stage stood up.

"Ha ha, good, very good..." Looking at the over a hundred Green Willow Peak disciples who stood up, Zhuge Xiang laughed. His eyes seemed to see countless experience points in front of him.

The Courage Medal, if used in the Endless Mountains, could at most kill two or three one-star high-grade beasts, earning a maximum of 1000 experience points. But here, if he defeated over a hundred disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation, he would be close to the 10,000 experience points needed to advance to the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Over a hundred disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation stood up. Without even fighting, the difference was clear just by looking. Niu Geng, Huanya, and others stepped forward, saying, "Zhuge Xiang, we'll help you..."

Although the strength difference was significant, in their eyes, Zhuge Xiang's challenge was for the sake of their fellow disciples. How could they hide behind and watch Zhuge Xiang fight alone? As Niu Geng and others stepped forward, the over 1500 disciples behind them also took a step forward, showing their determination.

"Step back! They are all my prey! No one is allowed to interfere," seeing Niu Geng and others step forward, Zhuge Xiang turned around. His eyes were completely protective, clearly indicating that they were all his prey, and no one should interfere.

Zhuge Xiang's eyes left Niu Geng and others stunned. He wasn't joking; he really intended to fight over a hundred disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation alone. He truly didn't want them to help.

"Alright, don't step forward. Niu Geng, you need to learn to trust him," Lu Yuling stepped forward and shook her head at Niu Geng.

"Trust him?" Lu Yuling's words reminded Niu Geng of what she said during the grand competition, that he needed to learn to trust his friends. After a moment of silence, Niu Geng nodded and stepped back.

Every second of the 200 seconds was incredibly precious. Wasting 20 seconds made Zhuge Xiang very painful, but fortunately, the over a hundred disciples above the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivation had all stepped forward, and he had convinced Niu Geng and others not to interfere. Zhuge Xiang's face showed a strong smile, the smile of a hunter about to harvest his prey.

The Iron Secret Medicine was directly thrown into his mouth, and the feeling of instantly increasing 150 defense points reappeared. Combined with the defense from his equipment, Zhuge Xiang's defense now exceeded 200 points! Plus the Courage Medal's defense doubling effect!

How strong was a defense of over 400 points? Even the physical attack of a three-star Hundred-Refined Bow was only 60 points. At this moment, Zhuge Xiang's defense was even higher than the two-star beast bear's. For the disciples at the Qi Cultivation Stage, a defense of over 400 points was an insurmountable barrier.

Without wasting time, Zhuge Xiang charged forward. Even without using the Bloodlust Technique or the Frenzy Step, the Courage Medal's speed doubling effect made Zhuge Xiang a swift shadow. The Slash Blade swung, creating a dense wave of blade light, combining the attack speed from the Slash Blade itself and the Courage Medal's doubling effect...

Ah ah ah...

Like a tiger entering a wolf pack, yes, Zhuge Xiang charged into the over a hundred disciples, and continuous cries of pain echoed. This scene made people think of the phrase "tiger entering a wolf pack" reflexively.

The Slash Blade, with its attack doubled and the bleeding effect, left deep wounds on the disciples' bodies, like gaping mouths, spewing blood. Although Zhuge Xiang's attacks were strong, the most terrifying part was the bleeding effect from these wounds...

"Die!" Despite Zhuge Xiang's strength being shocking, he was still a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator. A disciple who had learned the Phantom Step appeared beside Zhuge Xiang like a ghost, his long sword quickly slashing down, landing heavily on Zhuge Xiang's body.

"I hit him!" Seeing his sword strike Zhuge Xiang, the disciple's eyes showed joy. The other disciples around him also looked pleased. No matter how high the attack, he was still a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple, and the physical defense of a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple was very weak, an unchangeable fact.

However, the disciple who attacked was soon stunned. The feeling in his hand was not that of a weapon cutting into flesh but rather like striking an incredibly hard piece of steel. At the same time, Zhuge Xiang turned around, and the Slash Blade fiercely slashed at him. The serrated blade, combined with the Courage Medal's double attack effect, cut through his one-star defensive artifact armor, leaving a terrible wound on his chest, blood gushing out...

"Impossible!!!" He was at least a Fifth Stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, yet his attack had no effect at all. This left the Green Willow Peak disciples around him staring in disbelief. The physical defense was too terrifying.

"Body... Body Tempering Stage...?" The Fifth Stage Qi Cultivation disciple's attack having no effect made the Green Willow Peak disciples around him reflexively think of the Body Tempering Stage, their mouths stammering. A Body Tempering Stage disciple, a whole realm higher, might not have much effect even with numbers.

"Impossible! His aura is only at the Fourth Stage of Qi Cultivation. It must be a powerful defensive artifact on his body. Don't worry about it. No matter how strong the defensive artifact, with so many of us, we can destroy it," one of the Seventh Stage Qi Cultivation disciples shouted, dispelling the illusion that Zhuge Xiang was at the Body Tempering Stage.

His words made the disciples realize. Indeed, Zhuge Xiang's aura was only at the Fourth Stage of Qi Cultivation. It must be due to a defensive artifact.

Zhuge Xiang ignored their shock. His goal was simple: attack and attack again. The Iron Secret Medicine's effect only lasted one minute.

With over 400 points of defense, Zhuge Xiang completely abandoned defense, focusing solely on attacking. A full minute of all-out attacks, combined with the Slash Blade's terrifying damage to Qi Cultivation Stage disciples, resulted in continuous cries of pain. The bleeding effect of the Slash Blade turned the battlefield into a sea of blood, the area within several dozen feet completely red with blood...

Ding, defeated a Fifth Stage Qi Cultivation disciple, gained 68 experience points.

Ding, defeated a Sixth Stage Qi Cultivation disciple, gained 130 experience points.

Ding, defeated a Sixth Stage Qi Cultivation disciple, gained 140 experience points, obtained a Healing Pill.
