The mysterious expert who had never shown his face?

However, the people from the various families, as well as the TianChu Martial Academy, did not know that the mysterious expert hiding in the shadows did not even exist!

No one knew, but Chu Qingcheng knew that this mysterious expert was actually one that Xia Xinghe had created using her unique innate technique!

Hence, Chu Qingcheng couldn't retreat. Even if she had to fight to the death, she couldn't. This was because the savior that everyone was waiting for didn't even exist!

Taking in a deep breath, Chu Qingcheng involuntarily pulled out the pill given to her by Xia Xinghe right before the duel with Xue Long. The pill, Instantaneous Spirit Pill!

Tightly clenching her jade-like palms, she could feel the calmness of the Instantaneous Elixir Pill in her hands. At the same time, a look of determination flashed past her beautiful eyes.

"When Young Master Xia was still at the eighth level of the Celestial Shift Mirror, a Soul-Splitting Pill had allowed him to reach the third level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror. If I took the Soul-Splitting Pill, would I be able to fight against Zhou Yu?"

"As long as we can defeat the leader of the Sky Chu Martial School, Zhou Yu, then the crisis will be over!"

"However, if the Shun Ling Pill is unable to help me defeat Zhou Yu, then I will be like Young Master Xia back then. After ten breaths' time, my spirit energy will be completely drained and I won't even have the strength to stand anymore!"

"Eat, or not eat?"

In Chu Qingcheng's heart, she was silently considering whether to consume the Instantaneous Spirit Pill or not.

Whether or not he ate the Spiritfount Pill was a huge gamble.

If they won the bet, then Chu Qingcheng's spirit energy would skyrocket and she would be able to kill Zhou Yu within ten breaths of time. That day, the Chu Clan's side would fall into chaos and would even retreat on their own!

If she lost, then within ten breaths of time, Chu Qingcheng wouldn't be able to defeat Zhou Yu. That would mean that she would be in a weakened state. Not to mention Zhou Yu, even an ordinary Heavenly Palace Mirror martial artist would be able to easily kill her!

Moreover, other than these two situations, there was a third. Chu Qingcheng had killed Zhou Yu within the span of ten breaths, but Luo Cheng and the rest did not retreat. At that time, the Lan Clan would have no one to fight against.

After considering the situation, Chu Qingcheng finally came to the conclusion that the probability of helping the Lan Clan and Xia Xinghe to survive after consuming the Instantaneous Spirit Pill was only about twenty percent. However, Chu Qingcheng still wanted to give it her all and fight Zhou Yu to the death!

Just when Chu Qingcheng had made up her mind and was preparing to consume the pill, Luo Cheng, who was standing not too far away from her, suddenly took a step forward and dashed towards her in front of Zhou Yu!

"Iron Fist Luo Cheng!"

"Does he want to fight the Grand Princess?"

"Luo Cheng belongs to the second tier among the eight great instructors, and is even stronger than Han Du by a grade. Right now, the Grand Princess seems to have exhausted all her spiritual energy, so she can't be a match for Luo Cheng at all!"

"I heard that Luo Cheng's iron fists can break gold and shatter stone, and his body's strength has reached a terrifying level of invulnerability. His innate strength is a mid-tier star level bear's talent, and is able to increase Luo Cheng's strength, explosive strength, and physical strength.

"Rumor has it in the capital that one of the four leaders of the Shadow Army, Shen Liu, was turned into meat paste by Luo Cheng's fist!"

"If the rumors are true, even if the Grand Princess is in her best condition, she might not be able to defeat Luo Cheng, right?"

As Luo Cheng walked towards Chu Qingcheng, the crowd once again erupted into cheers. Similarly, just like before the battle between Han Du and Chu Qingcheng, no one believed that Chu Qingcheng would be able to win.

However, this battle was not the same as the one before. This was because Chu Qingcheng's spiritual energy was depleted, while Luo Cheng's energy was at its peak!

It could be said that if Chu Qingcheng didn't consume the Instantaneous Spirit Pill, she had no chance of winning at all. In fact, she might not even be able to handle a single move of Luo Cheng's!

Hearing the commotion, Luo Cheng's expression didn't change. He didn't feel proud nor disappointed. Instead, with steady steps, he walked to a spot five steps away from Chu Qingcheng and stood there.

"Grand Princess, if you want to challenge Third Brother, you'll have to get past me." Luo Cheng had an honest smile on his face, and even tried to persuade Chu Qingcheng, "Grand Princess, we all know that you're already exhausted. In this state, you have no more strength left to unleash that terrifying innate talent of yours."

Chu Qingcheng stared at Luo Cheng. Suddenly, an awkward smile appeared on her icy face. After which, Chu Qingcheng slowly shook her head.

He was determined not to retreat!

This was the attitude of Chu Qingcheng!

"In that case, I will have to offend you, Luo Feng!" Luo Cheng sighed in his heart as he took a step forward and heavily landed on the ground, as if the ground was trembling. After that, Luo Cheng pulled his arms apart and his chest quickly shrank, as though he was storing up energy.

Chu Qingcheng's beautiful face was filled with seriousness. Just as she was about to consume the pill, from within the Lan Clan Ancestral Hall, a two hundred feet tall golden qi image burst out without any forewarning!

"I'll fight you!" This voice was extremely rough. Without a doubt, it belonged to Lan Tong.

At the crucial moment, Lan Tong had finally comprehended the Godly Weapon Illusionary Body Technique and Falling Leaf Tracing Technique. Not only that, his cultivation had also recovered to the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror.

Boom! *

An explosive sound rang out from the Lan family ancestral hall. A sturdy figure appeared out of nowhere and stepped on the roof of the ancestral hall. He controlled the golden qi image and charged towards Luo Cheng with a pair of giant palms!

The huge golden palm was wrapped in a layer of strange golden light that made people shudder in fear. Without a doubt, this was the result of the Godly Weapon Illusionary Body Arts melting into the golden qi image!

This attack, with Lan Tong's full strength, was like a mountain pressing down on Luo Cheng!

Lan Tong's appearance was too sudden. Before the crowd could react, the giant golden palm had already struck out. Luo Cheng's iron fist, which was covered in a heavy glove, collided with Lan Tong's giant golden palm before he could even cry out in surprise!

BOOM!

A loud deafening explosion caused everyone's ears to become numb. A frightening air wave swept out, not only blowing up the dust on the ground, but also causing the stench of blood on Han Du's corpse to surge and spread!

In front of the main entrance of the Lan manor, Luo Cheng's body did not emit any golden light, nor did he summon any golden qi image. He only used his two iron fists to withstand the frantic descent of the giant golden palm!

Ka ka ka … A sharp noise that sounded like metal rubbing against each other rang out. The strange golden light surrounding the giant golden palm had actually shattered Luo Cheng's glove into pieces. Luo Cheng's fist had even left several wounds. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere!

Lan Tong who was at the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror actually broke through Luo Cheng's punching glove, and even broke Luo Cheng's fist?

This scene stunned everyone present. Especially Zhou Yu and the others, who frowned.

Everyone was shocked by Lan Tong's counter attack. However, Zhou Yu shouted loudly, "Luo Cheng! He is Lan Tong, not the Grand Princess.
