Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 772 - 771: Peerless Prodigy (1 more!)

"The battle has begun?"

"Who is that person? The Ji Family? And another... is it Su Baliu again?"

"This Su Baliu is truly a warmonger. With time being of the essence here, he still has the leisure to start a fight with someone from the Ji Family."

"We are already so far behind. By the time the fight is over, I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up to those Grand Powers ahead."

"Overall, Su Baliu does have some strength. It’s a pity that the man’s mind is not quite there; he is too arrogant and self-centered. The Phoenix Sect hasn’t been established for long, and yet they have already offended so many Grand Powers, at least half of the Top Ten Super Sects."

"At this moment, during the Sect-wide competition, those Super Sects don’t want to deal with Su Baliu temporarily. But after the competition, Su Baliu will be out of luck."

When they saw the two sides of the fight, quite a few cold laughs could be heard. Everyone thought Su Han was brave but foolhardy, with a weak mind.

...

At this moment, the outside world was also full of countless gazes staring here.

Previously, the Eastern Ancestor had mentioned that within this second challenge, there would be an Illusionary Screen projection, whereby everything happening inside could be seen by people outside.

According to Duan Yunshan’s words, it was to achieve the utmost fairness and justice.

In fact, this kind of Illusionary Screen projection had been present during every second and third challenge of past Sect-wide competitions, not just this time.

The focus of those many gazes, although it was the fight between the Phoenix Sect and the Ji Family, was not really on Su Han, but rather... Ji Fengyun!

"Is it him?"

At the Jade Void Palace, Yuan Ling stood up, his expression incredulous.

He and Ji Fengyun were from the same era. Back then, Ji Fengyun, with his Peerless Prodigy demeanor, suppressed countless talents and was considered the Heavenly Talent who swept across the Dragon Martial Continent.

At that time, Ji Fengyun was nearly invincible among his peers, shining bright like a radiant Jin Yang, rising quickly.

However, just when everyone thought Ji Fengyun would make a swift breakthrough and become a Dragon Emperor, he disappeared without a trace.

Since then, Ji Fengyun never appeared again, and even the people of the Ji Family didn’t know whether he was dead or alive.

As time passed, the name Ji Fengyun gradually faded into the river of time, perhaps only remembered occasionally by those like Yuan Ling who had been contemporaries, followed by a sigh.

Previously, when Ji Fengyun appeared and took action, they did not recognize him, until now, when Ji Fengyun’s Avatar merged with his true self, transforming his appearance into a youth, looking exactly like the dashing figure from years past. Only then did Yuan Ling recognize him, as did the others!

"Ji Fengyun!"

"It’s him, it’s Ji Fengyun!"

"Heavens, is it really him? Wasn’t he said to have died hundreds of years ago?"

"A World-Class Prodigy, indeed. Everyone thought he was dead back then, and it was a great pity. With Ji Fengyun’s aptitude, if he had steadily broken through, he would certainly have become a Super Stronger of the Ji Family, perhaps even leading the Ji Family to the forefront of the Thirteen Families. Even if not the first, at least he could have entered the top three!"

"He’s still alive, he is really still alive..."

Shocked murmurs spread around, as those present had clearly heard the name "Ji Fengyun" before, and were even familiar with the extraordinary feats he accomplished back in the day.

"Not in the Dragon Emperor Realm..."

Yuani Ling glanced at Ji Fengyun, shook his head slightly, and muttered to himself, "You should have easily broken through to the Dragon Emperor Realm, but your curiosity held you back. After all these years, you’re still wandering within the Dragon God Realm. Although we were of the same era and level at one point, you, as of today, have fallen far behind Yuani Ling..."

Meanwhile, over at One Slash Palace, an elder stared at Ji Fengyun, equally dumbfounded.

"Elder, who is this Ji Fengyun?" a young man behind him asked in a low voice.

"Someone from the same era as the Palace Master."

The elder came back to his senses and sighed, "In that era, the Palace Master, Yuani Ling, and Ji Fengyun were hailed as the three World-Class Prodigies of the Dragon Martial Continent, individuals who were certain to break through to the Dragon Emperor Realm, even possibly catching a glimpse of the Dragon Venerate Realm. However, it is unknown why later on, the Palace Master ascended to the position of Sect Master of One Slash Palace, Yuani Ling became the Grand Elder of Jade Void Palace, and Ji Fengyun... he simply vanished without a trace."

"That strong?"

The young man was taken aback, expressing disbelief, "That can’t be right. For him to have entered this second challenge, it’s clear he’s only in the Dragon God Realm. After all these years, if he truly had such aptitude, he should have at least broken through to the Dragon Emperor Realm, right?"

"You don’t understand..."

The elder shook his head, "Back then, I personally witnessed Ji Fengyun’s unrivaled elegance; it was a presence beyond compare. Although he is still in the Dragon God Realm, given that he is still alive, he must have made some improvements. Despite his age, his aptitude is timeless. If he wishes to break through, he can certainly do so even now."

"If that’s truly the case, then Sect Master Su..." the young man revealed a worried expression.

An emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if Ji Fengyun is currently still within the Dragon God Realm, having immersed himself in it for so many years, he is certainly not comparable to the average individual in that realm, making the outcome against Su Han unpredictable.

"More perilous than auspicious," the elder sighed.

...

It wasn’t just One Slash Palace; other factions that recognized Ji Fengyun also felt anxious for Su Han.

Of course, the majority of them took pleasure in Su Han’s predicament because he had offended far too many.

Such is human nature; they don’t care about the reasons. Once they hear that Su Han has offended so many powers, they subconsciously view him as too arrogant and self-important.

In reality, Su Han did not wish to offend them; it was they who forced Su Han to antagonize them.

While everyone was in shock, within that second challenge in the Void above, there were continuous roars thundering out, and waves of shock spread in all directions, causing people from Phoenix Sect and the Ji Family to instinctively dodge.

Each fighter, with every punch, broke through the limits of the Dragon God Realm, reaching an ethereal state.

Under such a barrage, both Su Han and Ji Fengyun took several steps back.

"Haha, not bad!"

Ji Fengyun was no longer the calm figure he was before, but laughed heartily, "I never expected that, apart from myself, there would be someone else who has penetrated the limit of the Dragon God Realm. Regrettably, what you have touched upon is merely the limit of the Dragon God Realm, while I have penetrated the limits of all Realms!"

As his words ended, Ji Fengyun threw another punch, with the vast oppressive force pervading heaven and earth, thundering into existence.

"This is a Fist Technique I created myself when I pierced through the limit of the Dragon Vein Realm; it’s named Jade Dragon Fist. Su Baliu, brace yourself!"
