Chapter 72

"Here comes Tian Kun!"

As soon as Tian Kun appeared, he immediately drew everyone's attention. People looked at him with shining eyes and exclaimed, "This is Tian Kun? I've heard about his battle records..."

"Within three breaths, he defeated two Ninth Wheel Qi Wheel Realm cultivators!"

These words were like a thunderclap, almost making these people gasp for breath. To defeat two Ninth Wheel Qi Wheel Realm cultivators in less than three breaths, how strong must Tian Kun be?

Tian Kun, hearing someone praising his glorious battle records, would have been very happy in the past. But now? Tian Kun had no mood to listen to such words. His mind was preoccupied with how to deal with this battle properly! Ideally, he could lose with some dignity...

Ideally... try not to get hurt... Ideally... ideally, a lightning bolt would strike right now! Strike Zheng Shi Yi, that bastard, dead! Tian Kun cursed incessantly in his heart! I didn't really hurt you! Why challenge me on the Wind Cloud Platform?

Several disciples, dressed in splendid attire and exuding arrogance, greeted Tian Kun, "Tian Kun, you're the tenth, but you're too weak, right? To be challenged by a new disciple!"

"If you don't kill this kid in one move, don't come back to the top ten!"

These few were the top-ranked disciples who had come upon hearing the news. They had thought the person challenging Tian Kun would be some great figure, but they never expected it to be a new disciple.

Any of the top ten on the Wind Cloud List had enough pride! Now, a new disciple was challenging one of the top ten, which everyone saw as an outrageous provocation! He must be killed directly!

If these top-ranked disciples hadn't wanted to convey this view to Tian Kun, they would have left long ago.

'One move? You guys try to kill Zheng Shi Yi in one move!' Tian Kun cursed inwardly, 'If any of you can kill him in one move, I'll kneel before you and call you grandpa!'

"Newcomers, why be so harsh on them. We are the top ten on the Wind Cloud List, we should have the magnanimity of seniors. We are all fellow disciples..."

Tian Kun felt incredibly bitter, but he still forced a smile, trying to convey his goodwill to Zheng Shi Yi on the platform, hoping to resolve the matter properly.

Tian Kun did not jump onto the Wind Cloud Platform but stopped below it and said to Zheng Shi Yi, "Your talent and strength are indeed surprising, but with your current strength, you are not yet capable of challenging the top ten."

"Even if you win me by chance and become the tenth, you can't guarantee that others won't challenge you. As a new disciple, you should focus more on cultivation rather than the Wind Cloud List."

"Considering your outstanding talent, if you withdraw this challenge, I promise to share some of my resources with you, helping you rise quickly in the outer sect."

The onlookers, hearing Tian Kun's words, all praised him, "Tian Kun truly lives up to his ranking on the Wind Cloud List. He is truly magnanimous, not only not angry at the new disciple's challenge but also willing to guide him."

"I really regret it. Why wasn't I the one to challenge him?"

The few disciples who had greeted Tian Kun were stunned... Tian Kun was known for his ruthlessness! What was wrong with him today? Did he take the wrong medicine? Or... does this newcomer have some special background?

Zheng Shi Yi pointed at the platform with his finger, somewhat impatiently, "Come up... the sooner I kill you, the sooner I can go back to cultivate. Don't waste my time."

Arrogant!

The same word appeared in the minds of all the onlookers almost simultaneously.

For a newcomer to say such words to a top ten Wind Cloud List warrior, what else could it be but arrogance!

"You..." Tian Kun's face turned ashen, but his feet did not move to the platform. His mind raced, thinking about how to lose with dignity without risking his life.

"Come up..." Zheng Shi Yi waved his hand again, "When you surrounded and attacked me, you should have thought about the consequences of failure. Don't waste my time. I can give you a quick death. Otherwise... I will torture you to death."

At this moment, countless people cast shocked glances at Tian Kun, wanting to verify the truth of Zheng Shi Yi's words.

No matter how thick-skinned Tian Kun was, he couldn't withstand the scrutiny of so many people. Seeing Zheng Shi Yi's firm determination, he knew there was no way to avoid this battle. He could only leap onto the life-and-death platform, "Don't think that killing a few of my subordinates gives you the right to challenge me!"

"I'll show you the difference between the tenth on the Wind Cloud List and a new disciple!"

Although Tian Kun said this, he pulled out various cultivation-enhancing pills from his pocket and swallowed them all at once.

The slash from not long ago still echoed in his mind. If he didn't take these pills to boost his cultivation in a short time, he might not have the chance later! Even though... the side effects of these pills were terrifying... he couldn't afford to care!

As the pills entered his mouth, Tian Kun's aura surged, the powerful aura making those closest to the Wind Cloud Platform struggle to breathe.

"So strong! This is the power of the tenth on the Wind Cloud List!"

At this moment, everyone was stunned by Tian Kun's surging aura. If before they had only heard about Tian Kun's strength without truly acknowledging it, now they fully recognized his power.

Everyone was very curious. With Tian Kun in this state, it would be difficult for Zheng Shi Yi to even get close, let alone attack him.

Tian Kun, taking so many pills for the first time, didn't expect his combat power to expand so much! In this state, not only could he handle a Ninth Wheel Qi Wheel Realm cultivator, but even a newly entered Spirit Spring Realm cultivator, he was confident he could fight.

"Little brat! Provoking a fierce tiger, the consequences are not something you can bear!"

Tian Kun roared, his powerful aura surging like a strong wind blade, shooting out in all directions!

Almost simultaneously! Tian Kun's bent legs suddenly exerted force, and he shot out like a savage beast!

"Fool..." Zheng Shi Yi's lips curled into a smile, watching Tian Kun's increasingly large figure in his pupils, his ten Qi Wheels' true qi suddenly erupted, stepping forward half a step, and using his left foot as an axis to easily dodge the attack.

Then... Zheng Shi Yi gathered the true qi of his ten Qi Wheels in his right hand, reaching out to grab Tian Kun's back of the head.

And then... the right hand, filled with the true qi of ten Qi Wheels, exerted force, pressing his head down, causing his face to collide violently with the platform.

"Bang!"

The moment Tian Kun's face hit the ground, it was crushed, splattering a pungent red and white brain matter.

Silence! The surroundings of the Wind Cloud Platform fell into an eerie silence.

Even at night, the Wind Cloud Platform had never been this quiet!

Everyone! Stared at the platform in shock, unable to accept what their eyes saw.

The moment Tian Kun charged at Zheng Shi Yi, everyone felt the aura of death enveloping Zheng Shi Yi. No one doubted Zheng Shi Yi's ability to dodge this attack.

Even the top-ranked warriors on the Wind Cloud List didn't think Zheng Shi Yi could do it!

Because... even they themselves felt it was impossible to block Tian Kun's attack after taking the pills. It was a desperate attack, betting everything on the future!

But... what they never expected was... that such a fierce attack was defeated by a new disciple in one move...

That's right! In one move! He was killed!

Recalling the words they had said to Tian Kun before he went up, they felt it was a mockery of themselves, "If you don't kill this kid in one move, don't come back to the top ten!"

"This kid hasn't shown any signs of entering the Spirit Spring Realm, he's at most in the Ninth Wheel Qi Wheel Realm."

"When did the Ninth Wheel Qi Wheel Realm become so powerful? To kill Tian Kun in one move, this kid is truly terrifying!"

"No wonder Tian Kun didn't immediately jump up to the platform. He must have known this kid's strength!"

"As a new disciple, to have such strength, if he continues to develop, it will be a problem. He came to the Wind Cloud Platform, I don't believe he just wanted to challenge Tian Kun."

"He will definitely continue to fight on the Wind Cloud Platform."

"We must find a way to deal with this guy! Otherwise... he will threaten our rankings on the Wind Cloud List."

The top ten on the Wind Cloud List exchanged silent glances.

Several cultivators, whose strength was close to Tian Kun and who believed they could enter the top ten with a bit more effort, were completely stunned, their eyes filled with despair!

Challenge this newcomer? Are they crazy?

The strength of the top ten on the Wind Cloud List, one stronger than the other. Even though the ninth and tenth only differed by one rank, the gap between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.

But, even the ninth... might not be able to kill Tian Kun in one move. What's the background of this kid?

"In the history of the sect, there has never been such a thing. A nameless newcomer, who has just entered the sect, killed the tenth on the Wind Cloud List in one move."

"That's a genuine tenth! Not to mention him, even the ninth or eighth might not have the confidence to kill the tenth in one move! A new disciple did it!"

"This is not just strong... it's terrifying! A terrifying newcomer!"

"He hasn't shown any signs of entering the Spirit Spring Realm, but with the strength he displayed, if he continues to fight, he might reach the second on the Wind Cloud List?"

"Second on the Wind Cloud List?" Almost everyone looked at Zheng Shi Yi as if he were a monster. A new disciple who hasn't even been in the sect for three months, to reach the second on the Wind Cloud List, how abnormal is this kid?

"Why not the first on the Wind Cloud List?"

Someone asked, and everyone's gaze instantly turned to the person who had spoken.
