Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Fight to the Death, Kill Him!
âItâs Senior Brother Qi Jian!â
Seeing the young swordsman ascending Platform No. 3, an outcry erupted from the audience stands.
Qi Jian, a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak cultivator, whose Sword Dao Realm had reached Middle-level Sword Heart, was widely recognized as one of the top contenders for the Top Hundred List and held considerable fame throughout the Outer Sect!
Clang!
Pulling out his sword, Qi Jian fixed Luo Cheng with an icy gaze. âLuo Cheng, dare to fight me?â
Luo Cheng sneered, âIâve been waiting for this.â
At those words, a flash of killing intent appeared in Qi Jianâs eyes as he spoke coldly:
âSuch arrogance! Today, Iâll cripple you in front of everyone! Let it be known that crossing our Crown Prince Hall leads only to death!â
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Qi Jian stamped his foot, retreating tens of steps in an instant. His Essence Energy surged violently, and behind him, a Demon Lizard Martial Soul glowing with seven stars emerged, amplifying his momentum!
Qi Jian did not dare underestimate Luo Cheng, and he immediately unleashed his Martial Soul to elevate his power to its peak.
Luo Cheng stood motionless, calmly watching everything unfold.
Creating distance gave Qi Jian renewed confidence. He shot an icy sneer at Luo Cheng and said:
âYour strength is indeed commendable, but unfortunately, youâre too foolish! Today, you are doomed!â
âOh?â
Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qi Jian sneered once more, âYou defeated Li Lie and others because youâve cultivated the Golden Body Realm and possess a formidable physique. But now, there are more than seventy steps between us! A Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artistâs maximum attack range is merely fifty steps!â
Qi Jian didnât rush to attack.
To him, the moment he created distance was the moment victory was decided in this duel!
âLuo Cheng is in danger!â
Upon hearing Qi Jianâs words, many people gasped.
It was widely known that Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artists had a maximum attack range of fifty steps. Only Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Martial Artists who had opened the Heavenly Gate could wield the Hundred-step Divine Gang to kill enemies from a hundred steps away!
Currently, Luo Cheng and Qi Jian were separated by seventy to eighty steps!
This meant Qi Jian could strike Luo Cheng, whereas Luo Cheng couldnât hit Qi Jian at all. How could he possibly fight back?
âDo you still think you have any chance to live now?â
Qi Jian looked at Luo Cheng with a smug, commanding expression.
Luo Cheng smirked faintly and began walking toward Qi Jian step by step:
âYouâre clever, but sadly, it wonât help you. Do your worst; show me your techniques!â
âLetâs see how long that stubborn arrogance lasts!â
Qi Jian, provoked and furious, bellowed and swung his sword in a fierce slash.
Shhh!
A streak of blinding Sword Qi shot forth, tearing through the air with unstoppable momentum, aimed straight at Luo Cheng.
âNot enough.â
Luo Cheng remained unperturbed, striding forward without pausing, throwing a punch directly.
Boom!

The collision of fist and Sword Qi unleashed a terrifying explosion, instantly extinguishing the Sword Qi.
Seeing his initial attack fail, Qi Jian furrowed his brows. His gaze turned frigid, his robes fluttering without wind, and an overwhelming sword aura emanated from his body.
âTake my next moveâTenfold Snow Dominance!â
With a furious roar, Qi Jianâs Essence Energy erupted in a violent storm, enveloping the entire platform in a chilling force.
The next moment.
A frigid streak of Sword Qi shot out like a comet, stretching several meters in length, tearing through the air and leaving visible cracks behind.
But it didnât stop there!
The Sword Qi abruptly burst into countless smaller fragments as it neared a ten-step radius from Luo Cheng, showering down on him like a deadly storm. The shrill sound of the air being pierced reverberated endlessly, sealing off the entire space.
âSuch incredible power! Qi Jian has won!â
âWhat arrogance to let Qi Jian create distance! The moment distance was established, Luo Cheng doomed himself to death!â
As the storm of Sword Qi engulfed Luo Cheng, the spectators believed the outcome was decided.
Thud! Thud! Thud! ThudâŠ
Energy scattered wildly as Luo Chengâs figure appeared to be swallowed by the Sword Qi.
âJust a nobodyâŠâ
Qi Jianâs face displayed a disdainful smileâbut then stiffened abruptly.
Boom!
The savage energy fragments shattered, and a silhouette strode out from the chaos. It was Luo Cheng!
âStill not enough!â
Luo Chengâs robes billowed as his eyes gleamed intensely.
âImpossible! Heâs unhurt!â
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.
âImpossible! My Snow Shocking Sword Technique is a Five-star Sword Technique that Iâve cultivated to minor proficiency! An all-out strike should be too much for even Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artists! How is he unscathed?!â
Watching Luo Cheng, Qi Jianâs heart trembled, his disbelief evident.
âIâve taken your two moves. Now itâs your turn to take mine!â
Uninterested in prolonging the exchange, Luo Chengâs gaze sharpened as a heavy aura surged forth. Gradually, his Essence Energy manifested into the form of a towering giant cauldron.
âHmph! Stop bluffing! Let me see how youâll manage to hurt meâŠâ
Qi Jianâs face twitched, clearly skeptical.
The distance between him and Luo Cheng was still close to sixty stepsâbeyond the range that a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist could strike. He simply did not believe Luo Cheng had the ability to hurt him!
âPrepare yourself!â
Luo Cheng swung a punch with full force.
Bang!
The air rippled like waves, his Fist Power transforming into a massive cauldron that barrelled forward.
Qi Jianâs pupils abruptly dilated.
In his perception, this wasnât a mere Fist Powerâit was like a mountain moving to crush him!
âBreak!â
In panic, Qi Jian poured all his Essence Energy into his sword and slashed furiously.
Pop!
Pop!
Pop!
Three consecutive breaking sounds erupted.
The Sword Qi shattered first, followed by Qi Jianâs Protective Essence Energy!
Finally, Qi Jianâs body was struck directly by the cauldron-like Fist Power, causing him to spew a blood arrow from his mouth as his body was flung like a meteor off the platform, crashing heavily to the ground.
âYou!â
Pointing weakly at Luo Cheng, Qi Jianâs body convulsed. Blood seeped from his mouth, nose, and eyes before he collapsed, lifeless.
The punch had shattered his internal organsâhe was utterly dead!
Silence enveloped the arena as all those watching this battle gasped in disbelief.
One punch, and Qi Jian was dead!
And from a distance of sixty steps!
Could this truly be a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist?
It completely defied reason!
âMy Lady, how⊠how did he do that?!â
In the VIP section, Ah Mu covered her mouth, astonished.
Luo Yao said nothing, her bright eyes fixed on Luo Cheng. A trace of surprise flickered in her gaze as she thought to herself: One punch obliterates a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist! That must mean the men outside Linjiang City ten days ago were killed by him!
Realizing this, Luo Yao smiled softly and gazed at Luo Cheng with glimmering eyes. âHehe, how many more surprises will you give me? Itâs truly exciting to think aboutâŠâ
âSo powerful! A single punch to annihilate a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artist! Truly incredible!!â
On another side, Tuoba Lie leapt to his feet in excitement.
Nearby, Chen Lingyu pursed her lips, her expression both proud and apprehensive.
Such high-profile successive kills of Crown Prince Hall members!
This action would undoubtedly irreversibly sever all ties with the Crown Prince Hall!
No room for negotiation!
On Crown Prince Hallâs end.
The faces of its members turned unspeakably grim.
Qi Guyun locked his gaze on Luo Cheng. The killing intent in his eyes nearly became tangible, his fury unable to be contained as he bellowed:
âWho among you will go and kill that man?!â
