It was at that moment when Pei Xuanjing received the hint and was momentarily distracted.

Tie Mad and Yuwen Leopard seized this opportunity, both using their signature skills and heading towards Pei Xuanjing.

Golden Vajra Finger!

This is a medium-level martial arts technique derived from the Diamond Gate, and has been refined to the level of complete comprehension by Yuwen Leopard, adding to it the divine strength borne from his extensive training.

With the use of this single technique, he could shatter gold, break jade, penetrate iron, and crush rocks.

Sun – Positive Iron palm!

This is one of the Tie Sect’s signature martial studies. Although Tie Mad has not fully trained in Iron Palm, the power of just half of this upper-level martial study is already extraordinary, especially this move that he has been immersed in for many years.

In combination with the secret stepping technique of the Tie Sect, he cloaked himself in an array of palm shadows, carrying with it an endless fierce power.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Pei Xuanjing had just been momentarily distracted due to the response of his life simulator when he obtained a peculiar object, and these two took advantage of it. This showed that their reputations were not unearned, and their abilities were extraordinary.

Seeing this crisis, Pei Xuanjing, however, faced it without fear.

He put the treasure pearl into his chest pocket, twisted his body around, and blocked Yuwen Leopard’s Golden Vajra Finger with his right-hand Flowing Flame Sword. At the same time, his left hand sent out a raging fire palm, choosing to go head-to-head with Tie Mad.

Bang!

The water column that had risen from the lake exploded suddenly due to the aftermath of their confrontation, and countless water droplets scattered in all directions, resembling a waterfall plunging from midair.

After one collision, all three of them retreated several meters.

Yuwen Leopard’s Golden Vajra Finger was enormously powerful, and the overwhelming force left Pei Xuanjing’s hand tingling. The regrettable thing was that although the Golden Vajra Finger was extraordinary, when it met the Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon forged from Mysterious Iron and the essence of hundreds of golds, it didn’t even leave a mark.

Even though Tie Mad’s Sun – Positive Iron Palm was extremely powerful, Pei Xuanjing was one rank higher than him in martial arts. Pei held his own against Mad with his True Qi and clashed with the palm of the raging fire. After their exchange, it was a stalemate, with neither side gaining an upper hand.

“You’re actually a Fourth -grade Martial Artist!” Tie Mad’s face was astonished.

Unlike Yuwen Leopard, since the two were directly clashing with palm strength, Tie Mad could clearly feel that Pei Xuanjing’s palm technique was inferior to his own, but still managed to match him evenly with sufficient True Qi.

“The Thousand-Refined Divine Weapon is indeed extraordinary,” said Yuwen Leopard, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.

As a martial artist who focused on training strength in fists and palms, he most despised opponents who relied on the advantages of divine weapons.

At first, he merely suspected this, thinking that the other relied on the divine weapon in his hand for his strength. But having seen the momentum of Pei Xuanjing’s earlier attack, and now hearing Tie Mad’s words, his suspicions evaporated, replaced by a surprised look on his face.

Fourth-grade Martial Artist!

Hearing Tie Mad’s words, the surrounding martial artists were also deeply shocked.

Everyone knew that age restricted entrance to the Blessed Land. Not one of the people present was over 25 years old, and even the oldest amongst them was only a few years older than Pei Xuanjing.

Among hundreds of those present, only a handful were Fifth Rank martial artists, apart from Pei Xuanjing. There were dozens of Sixth Grade martial artists which were slightly more in number.

Seventh-grade martial artists were the majority, with hundreds present. The rest mainly consisted of Eighth- and Ninth-grade martial artists, hoping to advantageously fish in troubled waters.

However, four years is a big gap. Some people are still struggling at the Eighth and Ninth Rank, while the more gifted ones are in the Sixth or Seventh Rank.

Fifth Rank martial artists like Yuwen Leopard and Tie Mad were already objects of envy.

The sudden emergence of a twenty-year-old Fourth- grade martial artist no doubt surprised many people.

Such exceptional talent and strength also swept away the remaining Fifth- and Sixth-rank martial artists’ hopes of benefiting while others fight.

Some people were considering whether it was worth offending Pei Xuanjing for this.

Quite a few who knew the secret of the peculiar object were also considering that there wouldn’t be much use for the extraordinary talented Pei Xuanjing, and whether they could somehow exchange it for a price. This seems more probable than snatching it away.

“What should we do?” Yuwen Leopard and Tie Mad communicated through eye contact.

Although they may not understand what everyone was thinking, both Yuwen Leopard and Tie Mad were no fools. They understood that these people had lost their former eagerness, intimidated by Pei Xuanjing’s momentum.

No matter what the others did, the pair already in confrontation almost had no way to back down now.

“If it were any other place, facing a Fourth-grade martial artist alone or together wouldn’t be an issue, even in defeat we would still survive. But this place is different today,” Tie Mad whispered to Yuwen Leopard.

Sound Transmission into Secrecy was a simple technique that all martial artists who had broken through to the Sixth -grade and were proficient in True Qi could use, though it was easily discovered by those with a much higher realm.

But at this moment, they didn’t care about that.

Yuwen Leopard replied, “Although Pei Xuanjing is powerful, we are not afraid of him when we join hands. But we can’t say the same about other people.”

As he spoke, he cast a casual glance around.

Considering how arrogant the two had been, they had offended many people, including a few sworn enemies who were just waiting for an opportunity to settle scores. It was only because everyone was trying to snatch the peculiar object and Pei Xuanjing took the initiative to become the target that they hadn’t caused them trouble.

Now, if someone wanted to curry favor with Pei Xuanjing or take advantage of him to get revenge, they might be in real trouble.

“In that case, let’s retreat for the time being and claim our prestige back in a few days,” suggested Tie Mad.

“Right, there’s still two months until the Blessed Land closes. We will have another chance,” agreed Yuwen Leopard.

Agreement reached, Yuwen Leopard announced, “Since you, Pei Xuanjing, have already obtained the peculiar object and survived one round against the two of us together, today you have proven that you have the qualification to take this object, and we won’t trouble you anymore…”

Before he could finish, Pei Xuanjing laughed coldly and said, “You think you can just fight when you want to fight, and stop when you want to stop? You think everything is up to you?”

Having said this, he lifted his sword.

“Run!” Tie Mad said to Yuwen Leopard and then, without hesitation, took off in one direction.

For the first time, Tie Mad realized that Yuwen Leopard is a fool! If he was going to admit defeat, he should have done it humbly. He acted like a whore and still wanted a monument to his chastity, speaking words of surrender so confidently. What an idiot!

Now that Pei Xuanjing wasn’t agreeing, was he planning to fight again?

He had noticed a few guys looking at him with bad intentions, some itching for a fight.

It was already generous of Tie Mad to notify Yuwen Leopard once before fleeing!

He’s running!

Tie Mad is running!

The usually show-off and arrogant Tie Mad is actually running!

Everyone’s dumbfounded!

Yuwen Leopard is dumbfounded!

Not just Yuwen Leopard, all the martial artists around were also dumbfounded!
