While leisurely smoking a panda cigarette, Zhang Xiaohao walked calmly forward. As for attacks from the outside world, no matter how fierce they were, upon touching the defensive barrier formed by the Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi, they were arrogantly shattered and utterly unable to break Zhang Xiaohao’s defense.

"What? This is impossible!!!" Seeing this, the half-step Refining Void Realm cultivator’s face changed dramatically.

The scene before him shattered his worldview.

He was a half-step Refining Void Realm cultivator! Just one step away from breaking through to the Refining Void Realm. He had put his full force into his attacks, yet, in front of this kid, he couldn’t break through his defenses. If word got out, where would his dignity be?

Not caring about anything else, the half-step Refining Void Realm cultivator immediately used the Bi Mu Divine Eye—his only chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Die, you little brat!" he roared angrily.

He infused all his spiritual power into the Bi Mu Divine Eye. Thirty-eight strands of destructive power fused in the air, emitting a terrifying pressure, fiercely charging at Zhang Xiaohao as if trying to completely obliterate him.

"Too weak!" Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.

Whizz!

The panda cigarette butt in his hand shot out with a burst of golden sword qi.

Boom!!!

The two collided explosively, sending a powerful wave of energy through the air. The destructive power unleashed by the Bi Mu Divine Eye was arrogantly broken by Zhang Xiaohao, leaving no trace behind.

The panda cigarette butt continued its path, carrying the golden sword qi, and, in the cultivator’s fearful gaze, it slammed onto his head.

Crack!

The formidable power directly killed the half-step Refining Void Realm cultivator, even splitting the nascent soul within his body into two, dissipating into the air.

"Come here!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.

With a sweep of his right hand, a flash of golden light appeared, and the storage bag along with the Bi Mu Divine Eye from the fallen cultivator were collected by him.

"Is there anyone else? Whoever’s not convinced, just come on up! I’ll teach them a good lesson! If no one comes, I don’t mind expanding the arena and personally coming to find you!" Zhang Xiaohao, with his hands behind his back, spoke domineeringly.

That arrogant look swept across the cultivators from the Jubao Building.

The provocating gaze from Zhang Xiaohao made the faces of the Jubao Building cultivators change one after another, especially after witnessing Zhang Xiaohao casually slaying two half-step Refining Void Realm cultivators without even using the Bi Mu Divine Eye. His skill deeply shocked them.

They weren’t fools; treasures were good, but if they couldn’t enjoy them with their lives, no amount of treasure would matter.

"You little brat, you bully us too much!!!" Ju Tianbao roared with a gloomy face.

"Old Dog! I am indeed bullying you, bullying your Jubao Building, and what can you do about it? I’ll count to three. If no one comes up to take their death willingly, I’ll wipe out all Refining Void Realm cultivators and then destroy your Jubao Building!!!" Zhang Xiaohao said with murderous intent.

"You dare!!!" Ju Tianbao roared with a ferocious look.

"I don’t dare? You can try and see if I dare!" Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao not joking, Ju Tianbao’s face instantly darkened.

He turned and looked at the fifteen remaining enforcers he had invited.

"Everyone! You’ve all been hired at a high price by me, and now the Jubao Building is at a life-and-death juncture. I ask for all your help! If you can kill this little brat, crush Qingyi Building’s competition qualification, I’ll be willing to offer half of the Jubao Building’s wealth as a reward!!!" Ju Tianbao gritted his teeth and said.

The remaining fifteen half-step Refining Void Realm cultivators exchanged glances, seeing a fiery glimmer in each other’s eyes.

Half the wealth of Jubao Building was no small number; although they came from prominent backgrounds, faced with half the wealth of Jubao Building, they all felt a burning desire deep inside.

Once they obtained half of Jubao Building’s wealth, they could quickly advance to the Refining Void Realm or even reach the Unification Realm.

Breaking through to the Unification Realm meant they could compete for the clan’s rare spots to enter the True Immortal Relics, where, with a bit of luck, they might find the opportunity to reach the Great Mahayana Realm.

Once becoming masters of the Great Mahayana Realm, they’d finally have a say in the clan, and power, wealth, beauty, and more would come rushing to them.

"Since Ju Building Master has said this much, then I, Feng Buping, will take a trip to take down this overconfident brat! However, I don’t carry many treasures this time! Ju Building Master, what do you think?" Feng Buping said.

"As long as you can kill this arrogant brat and strip Qingyi Building’s competition qualification, those treasures are merely external things!" Ju Tianbao said, suppressing the pain, knowing full well the opponent was extorting him but still bearing it, taking out a storage bag and handing it over.

"Jubao Building, then I shall not be polite! Watch closely as I, Feng Buping, will kill this arrogant brat!" Feng Buping said with overwhelming arrogance.

Swoosh!

After his words, his figure flashed, rushing toward the arena.

Seeing him about to reach the arena, Feng Buping’s right hand slapped the storage bag at his waist, intending to extract the treasures within and unleash them on Zhang Xiaohao.

"Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi—Slash!!!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.

With a fierce slash of his right hand, a burst of golden sword qi shot from his palm, carrying terrifying power, and dominantly slammed against the protective aura around Feng Buping’s body.

Crack!!!

Feng Buping’s blue protective aura was instantly shattered in front of the Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi, driving the sword qi mercilessly through his body and splitting him in two.

However, his body didn’t lose a drop of blood; instead, a black piece of wood fell to the ground.

"Substitute Puppet?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

Swoosh!

Behind Zhang Xiaohao, a blue figure appeared—it was Feng Buping.

Currently, Feng Buping’s face was terrifying; his hard-earned Substitute Puppet was destroyed just like that. Thinking of this, murderous intent surged within him.
