A Great Xia Dragon Guard... was defeated!
And so miserably too, kicked off the stage with a single blow!
Around the stage, the many spectators and the Great Xia Dragon Guards from the Six Armies were all utterly stunned.
As for the mbers of the Four Great Clans, their brief surprise gave way to a sudden eruption of cheers, all hailing Jintai.
"The Vajra Undying Secret thod... The Jin Family... they've really gone all out!"
The Celestial Wind Army Master watched Huo Pengzhan clutching his chest and spitting blood below the stage. His face was expressionless, but a faint, cold light flickered in his eyes.
Vajra Indestructible was an extrely powerful Secret Technique.
The Vajra Body, with its protective golden light, was virtually impossible for a Martial Artist of the sa level to break through.
The Vajra Power, with its terrifying strength, was sothing no Martial Artist of the sa level could possibly withstand.
But cultivating this Secret Technique also required an imnse amount of resources.
An ordinary Celestial Spirit Realm expert probably couldn't afford such a fortune, let alone spend it on a level nine Martial Artist for cultivation.
Having mastered this Secret Technique, even with no skill in Saber Technique whatsoever, was enough for Jintai to stand above all other Martial Artists of the sa level.
A Celestial Spirit Realm Elder from the Jin Family smiled without mirth and said, "Hehe, the Young Clan Leader perfectly inherited the Clan Leader's Martial Soul and is deeply favored by our Jin Family Patriarch. He was long ago designated as the next Clan Leader. This Secret Technique was personally chosen for him by the Patriarch himself."
After witnessing the power of the Vajra Undying Secret thod, the expressions of the Celestial Wind Army's Grand Commanders, Guard Generals, and Captains all grew heavy.
They all sensed that sothing was wrong with this Four Races Martial Arts Competition. It seed to be... targeting their Celestial Wind Army!
As for Liu Taian, he looked as if he'd swallowed a fly.
He had let Huo Pengzhan strike first, hoping to steal the spotlight and claim the credit, but he never expected this to be the result.
"Next! Who's up!?"
After kicking Huo Pengzhan off the stage, Jintai grew even more arrogant and smug. His gaze toward the Great Xia Dragon Guards on the observation platform was filled with provocation.
After a mont of silence, a Gold dal Captain stood up. "Lord Military Commander, your subordinate Dou Qingkun is willing to fight!"
"Alright. Be careful."
The Celestial Wind Army Master's expression was calm as he nodded silently, but inwardly, he had no confidence.
The Vajra Undying Secret thod was sothing that should never appear on a re Martial Artist!
If any faction were truly prepared to spend so many resources to have soone cultivate such a powerful Secret Technique, their first choice would surely be a Celestial Spirit Realm expert, or at the very least, one in the Earth Spirit Realm. Only then could they maximize the growth of their overall strength.
Giving it to a Celestial Spirit Realm expert might create an invincible master at that level. But giving it to a level nine Martial Artist... he'd still be fated to be killed by a single palm strike from soone in the Small Spirit Realm!
Dou Qingkun possessed a Tier Three staff-type Martial Soul. In terms of Staff Technique, he had also cultivated a Spirit Level Staff Technique to the Great Success stage. His strength was considered quite high among the Gold dal Captains.
However, Jintai rely activated his Vajra Body, allowing Dou Qingkun to attack freely, yet he remained completely unhard.
And once Jintai counterattacked, under the might of his Vajra Power, Dou Qingkun had no strength to resist and was knocked off the stage with a single punch.
Another one defeated!
Following Dou Qingkun, four more Gold dal Captains volunteered to fight. But just like him, they were completely unable to do anything against the Vajra Body and were easily knocked off the stage by Jintai in a single move.
The faces of many of the Celestial Wind Army's Grand Commanders had already turned ugly, and the Celestial Wind Army Master's expression had also grown sowhat grim.
The observation platform fell strangely silent. No one cheered for Jintai anymore.
The Celestial Wind Army had the weakest overall strength among the Six Armies. Moreover, the well-inford people present knew that their four publicly acknowledged strongest captains were all out on a mission together.
And Jintai's terrifying Secret Technique... he could have cultivated it at any ti, but he just had to do it now.
Furthermore, behind him waited an even more formidable Ye Junhao, who had never participated in the Four Races Martial Arts Competition before but was coincidentally participating this year.
These things couldn't be explained away as a coincidence!
Anyone with eyes could see that this was a conspiracy, a deliberate plot targeting the Celestial Wind Army!
'To think they're treating us like a complete pushover!'
All the mbers of the Celestial Wind Army present were fuming with anger, but there was nothing they could do.
"Ahem, Lord Military Commander, this Jintai fellow is too arrogant. How about... we have him deliberately throw a match and lose once? But... after him, there's still a Ye Junhao waiting to issue a challenge. Sigh, this is a difficult situation..."
The Great Elder of the Ye Family taunted with a sinister smile, his expression one of utter triumph.
This was also part of their plan: have Jintai trample all over the Celestial Wind Army, then have him concede in an obvious manner, and swap in Ye Junhao to trample them all over again.
Just then, the Celestial Wind Army Master abruptly shot up from his seat.
The four Celestial Spirit Realm Elders from the Four Races instinctively took two steps back, becoming extrely nervous. They were still quite wary of the Celestial Wind Army Master.
"My Celestial Wind Army does not need you to throw any matches."
With that, the Celestial Wind Army Master looked toward several of his Grand Commanders.
The Grand Commanders all nodded and took turns sending their subordinate Gold dal Captains to face Jintai.
But, without exception, they were all crushed!
At this rate, even if all the Gold dal Captains they brought were sent up one by one in a war of attrition, it was unlikely they could do anything to Jintai.
And even if they managed to win against Jintai in such a disgraceful manner, there was still an even stronger Ye Junhao waiting behind him!
In an instant, everyone from the Celestial Wind Army was filled with hatred and rage toward the Four Great Clans.
In all the years past, the Great Xia Dragon Guards had been challenged after the Four Races Martial Arts Competition, but they had never once lost.
The Celestial Wind Army was already under intense scrutiny after the incident with Liu Canghai, placing them in a very sensitive period.
At such a critical ti, if the Celestial Wind Army were to lose to the young geniuses of the Four Great Clans during the Four Races Martial Arts Competition, it would set a precedent for defeat.
If that happened, the Celestial Wind Army Master would likely lose all face completely.
And the entire Celestial Wind Army, from top to bottom, would no longer be able to hold their heads high among the Great Xia Dragon Guards.
After several more people were miserably defeated, Grand Commander Chu Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He walked over to the Celestial Wind Army Master and said in a low voice, "Lord Military Commander, should we go get Chu Qingyun? There might still be a bit of hope."
Looking at the dozen or so seriously injured Gold dal Captains spitting blood below the stage, the Celestial Wind Army Master sighed helplessly.
'Although Chu Qingyun is very strong, capable of sweeping through a dozen Captain Level fighters, he probably can't do much against a Jintai who has cultivated the Vajra Undying Secret thod. However, there are no other options right now. It's a desperate asure, but it's all we have.'
"Go. No matter what he's doing, bring him here at top speed. The rest of our people... will buy him ti."
After Grand Commander Chu Yu left, the remaining Gold dal Captains on the observation platform also lined up, going onto the stage one by one to fight. They didn't seek to win, only to stall for ti so Chu Qingyun could arrive.
But they hadn't brought many Gold dal Captains with them, and before long, they had all been defeated.
After the last Gold dal Captain was blasted off the stage by Jintai, the Celestial Wind Army Master and the various Grand Commanders on the observation platform all had ashen faces. So were even trembling with rage, looking as if they were ready to declare war on the Four Great Clans.
At this point, the people from the Four Great Clans didn't dare to provoke them further while they were so incensed, not even ntioning the idea of having Jintai throw a match.
If they truly pushed the Celestial Wind Army too far and a real fight broke out, what awaited them would surely be the combined suppression of all Six Armies of the Great Xia Dragon Guard.
Although the internal competition among the Six Armies was fierce, they would unite when facing external provocation. After all, they were all Great Xia Dragon Guards.
Watching the gloating Jintai on the stage, the surrounding Great Xia Dragon Guards, whether from the Celestial Wind Army or the other Five Armies, all gritted their teeth in anger.
In terms of talent, any Gold dal Captain, or even a Silver dal Captain, could completely crush him.
But there was nothing to be done. His family had been willing to pay a huge price, using a Secret Technique to forcibly raise his strength, giving him the capital to be arrogant.
"What? Is the Celestial Wind Army out of people? Does no one else dare to accept my challenge?"
Having defeated all the Gold dal Captains they had brought, Jintai couldn't help but feel imnsely pleased with himself.
This ti, he had truly stolen the show and beco a hero of the Four Races!
Just then, a Silver dal Captain from the Celestial Wind Army leaped onto the stage from the side. "Damn it! Don't get cocky, kid. I'll accept your challenge!"
"You? What do you think you are?"
Jintai snorted with contempt.
Around the stage, many disciples from the Four Races also began to jeer, shouting for the man to get off the stage himself.
As a spectator around the stage, he didn't even have the qualifications to join the Military Lord and Grand Commanders on the observation platform. He was clearly no expert—likely not even a Gold dal Captain.
However, this instantly infuriated the spectating Great Xia Dragon Guards, who began to argue with them. Not only did the mbers of the Celestial Wind Army join in, but even those from the other Five Armies chid in.
For a mont, the area around the stage descended into chaos.
And amidst the chaos, the Silver dal Captain who had jumped up was already sent flying off the stage, spitting blood. The gap in strength was just too great.
This left all the Great Xia Dragon Guards feeling suffocated with frustration.
But soon, another Iron dal Captain leaped up to face Jintai.
Although they had no order from the Lord Military Commander or any Grand Commander, the surrounding Celestial Wind Army Captains spontaneously and continuously went up to fight.
Even knowing they would lose, even knowing they would be severely injured, they showed no hesitation!
Even if it ant being gravely wounded, they could not stand by and watch the Celestial Wind Army be provoked and insulted!
Watching the Great Xia Dragon Guards jump up one after another just to get beaten, Jintai couldn't help but roar with laughter. He unleashed his Vajra Undying Secret thod, felling them one by one with a single punch, sending them flying and spitting blood. He felt an imnse sense of satisfaction.
Soon, a large number of severely injured, blood-spitting Celestial Wind Army Captains lay on the ground around the stage.
Every one of them had eyes filled with unwillingness. 'Damn it all, why did Xiao Feng and the other three have to be away right now!?'
On the observation platform, the faces of the Celestial Wind Army Master and the Grand Commanders were terrifyingly grim. Everyone else on the platform was on edge, not even daring to breathe loudly.
And just then, Grand Commander Chu Yu appeared in the distance, dragging Chu Qingyun along as they rushed toward the stage like a streak of light.
Seeing the large pile of severely injured Celestial Wind Army Captains around the stage, Grand Commander Chu Yu instantly understood what had happened. Veins throbbed on his forehead in anger.
"Chu Qingyun, don't ask any questions. When you get on that stage, no matter who you face, you beat them to within an inch of their life! Just leave them breathing. I will take responsibility for all the consequences. The Celestial Wind Army will take responsibility!"
After he spoke, another Captain on the stage was struck down by Jintai.
Grand Commander Chu Yu gave a powerful heave, throwing Chu Qingyun directly over the crowd and onto the stage!
