It was time to find out who was better!

While the voice was not very loud, it was filled with a strong will and the fullest confidence .

Zhou Bao proceeded to step on a hollow .  His green robe fluttered in the wind . With his hands behind his back, he looked like a scholar standing on a mountain peak, enjoying the cool breeze and high-spiritedly giving his two cents about everything .

"You're indeed not bad . Who knew that a strong young man would come out of Central Mainland Region! This is beyond my expectation!" Senior Grand Tutor Hong was not going to admit defeat . He reappeared in mid-air, wearing a dark red robe, a jade belt and a Violet Gold Cap . He also had an inch-long moustache . He looked at Zhou Bao in admiration . "However, it may not be that easy to defeat me!"

"There's no other way, we have already come this far . Let's fight!" Zhou Bao showed his relentlessness . He looked at the happy Yan Yuntian and said, "Did you not see that my old father-in-law is already preparing to celebrate?!"

"Hahaha, good, I like young people like you . Let's stop chatting . I shall find out about your capabilities!" As he spoke, Senior Grand Tutor Hong disappeared again . The thousands of puppets that had been behind Senior Grand Tutor Hong approached Zhou Bao in a frenzy .

Zhou Bao smirked . He raised his hand and a storm of swords evolved from Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi rolled towards the puppets and knocked them all down .

Boom!

Flesh and blood flew, while limbs were scattered everywhere . Although Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was powerful, there were too many puppets and they were of extremely high cultivation . The sword storm was unable to stop them all . After killing hundreds of the puppets, Zhou Bao found himself surrounded by another thousand of them .

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Despite being surrounded by the horde of puppets, Zhou Bao was not afraid . He swung his fist and all of them were defeated . Regardless of their levels of cultivation, all of them dissipated into a fog of blood . This effect of his fist was comparable to Flipping Sky Seal and Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword .

All he had done was swing his fist around to strike the puppets . The puppets were no match for him, but Zhou Bao was unable to locate the Real Body of Senior Grand Tutor Hong among the crowd .

While he could not find his Real Body, Zhou Bao believed that it was in the crowd .  With his keen eyesight, it would not be difficult for him to clearly distinguish the faces of each puppet . Even so, he was uncertain which one was Senior Grand Tutor Hong .

After a few attempts, Zhou Bao realized that he needed to use a different approach .

With a twist of his body, he managed to escape from the puppets . As he looked at the crowd of puppets leaping towards him, he gave a cold smile . He flipped his hand and a gold circle appeared in his hand . He then threw it into the air .

"Jeet!"

As Zhou Bao growled, the golden circle flashed violently . An incomparable suction force was released from inside the circle . The puppets were unable to resist the huge force . Their footsteps became unstable and all of them flew towards the circle . As the puppets disappeared into the circle at increasing speed, the number left standing decreased exponentially . In the blink of an eye, half of them had been sucked in .

"Gold Bracelet!"

The display of power from the circle drew numerous gasps . Everyone looked at Zhou Bao with incredulous expressions . Yu Taixu's eyes were no longer narrowed . Instead, he stared at Zhou Bao with a strange look .

First, it had been Flipping Sky Seal, then it was Poison Cold s.h.i.+eld, now it was Gold Bracelet . This guy had just taken out two Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Devices . He then thought of the three Pure Yang Celestial Devices that Zhou Bao stole, as well as the rumored devices, such as Golden Flame Mirror and Golden-Scaled Cudgel . It was amazing that Zhou Bao owned so many Pure Yang Celestial Devices despite his young age, to the extent that he could be considered a treasure himself!

However, this was not the time to dwell on this . Zhou Bao might have gained the upper hand when he produced the Gold Bracelet replica, but the fight was far from over . Senior Grand Tutor Hong was someone who had the ability to s.n.a.t.c.h the position of lord of Divine Wind Palace from Yu Taixu . It was probable that he had powerful a.s.sets too .

When Hong Xuanlong had fought for the Inner Elixir of the essence and blood of Evil Fire Kylin, some of those a.s.sets had been exhibited . Surely, as the real ruler of the Hong Family, Senior Grand Tutor Hong would be no less powerful than Hong Xuanlong .

Therefore, Zhou Bao started to get more nervous when fake Gold Bracelet dispatched half of the puppets .

As expected, a red light suddenly flashed from the crowd of puppets . The red light continued to flash violently and enveloped the Gold Bracelet in a few seconds . The suction force disappeared and the remaining puppets were scattered .

Zhou Bao stared and realised that the red light had been emitted by a small, sleek, long-necked jade bottle . The bottle looked primitive and was formed from a ruby . There were faint lines on its body and strong Pure Yang Qi was coming out of it . This was an Upper Grade Pure Yang Celestial Device .

"I found you!" Zhou Bao saw that the fake Gold Bracelet had been blocked, but he was happy . In a flash, his body disappeared .

"Urgh!"

As Zhou Bao disappeared, a succession of strange cries was heard from the puppets . A shadow shot out from the crowd, with copious amounts of blood uncontrollably spurting out from it .

"Good!" As these events unfolded, even Yu Taixu could not help but stand and applaud Zhou Bao . But soon, his eyebrows furrowed .

Zhou Bao doubted that Senior Grand Tutor Hong had been defeated by that punch . The punch had been too easy . Furthermore, Zhou Bao had felt an odd resistance when he delivered the punch . It was as if his punch had landed on an object instead of a human body .

Hence, out of caution, he did not try to catch up .

"Fella, you're not bad!" Indeed, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was the figure that had been retreating . Although he was losing blood, his voice was still strong .

"This cunning guy!" Yu Taixu hissed quietly . Zhou Bao's facial muscles twitched . Indeed, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was a cunning guy . The figure he had just punched was merely a puppet .

The truth was, Senior Grand Tutor Hong had never arrived at the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony . It had been his puppet masquerading as him all along .

It was possibly because of this charade that people suspected that Senior Grand Tutor Hong's cultivation was only at Level Nine and had not yet reached Mysterious Realm .

It was possibly because of this charade that people suspected that Senior Grand Tutor Hong's cultivation was only at Level Nine and had not yet reached Mysterious Realm .

Abruptly, the atmosphere became strange . In the sky, only the fake Gold Bracelet and the Long-necked Red Jade Bottle remained . Zhou Bao was in a stand-off with the puppets . While the bracelet had taken down a huge number of them, the remaining puppets posed a formidable threat . With his temper, Zhou Bao would have started the fight by now . However, he did not do so . as he could not figure out what Senior Grand Tutor Hong had up his sleeves . If Zhou Bao killed all the puppets, he would have to be wary of the tutor . If he found the chance to kill Yan Yuntian, then all that he had done just now would be in vain . He was reluctant to admit this to himself, but he realised that what he had done just now had not been a wise move .

While it seemed like Zhou Bao was in a stand-off with a large number of puppets, he was really worried about poor Yan Yuntian!

The stand-off continued for a while as if they were appreciating each other . There were no other actions taken . This made Child-endowing Buddha raise his guard .

"I say, are you two being match-made? If you want to fight, then please do it! I'm already done with my popcorn, if you're not gonna do it then I'm going home!" Child-endowing Buddha shouted strangely . While it seemed like he was shouting strangely, he was actually using the secret way of Lotus Flower on the Tongue . It startled Zhou Bao and Senior Grand Tutor Hong felt apologetic .

There were so many people watching . The authority figures from the five biggest sects, as well as the audience from the big sect of Three Western Regions, were all watching . Senior Grand Tutor Hong was a long-standing public figure . He had been famous long before Zhao Bao's great-great-grandfather of the fella existed . While his name was spread around the world, Zhao Bao's great-great-grandmother was still drinking milk!

Right now, the stand-off had lasted too long .  They were evenly-matched and he had even suffered a bit . This was indeed embarra.s.sing . If he did not settle this soon, he could forget about the fight with Yu Taixu . He would have lost his pride even if he helped Emperor Yang take the throne!

"This thief is actually quite smart!~" Zhou Bao also noticed the same point . After Child-endowing Buddha shouted, he was extra careful . But soon, he found out that he was being overly cautious .

This was because Senior Grand Tutor Hong had chosen to fight a real fight and not use sneaky tricks in order to prove himself .

Yes, his own strength .

A pair of iron fists emerged from the hollow . It was accompanied by a boundless exploding Qi Power and the belief to destruct everything in sight . It appeared in the hollow and came straight for Zhou Bao .

Fist!

Having felt the coldness and killing intent of the fists, Zhou Bao's gaze focused .

Fist!

Having felt the coldness and killing intent of the fists, Zhou Bao's gaze focused .

Lord of Heaven!

Yes, Lord of Heaven!

This punch alone had already frozen the s.p.a.ce on Turtle Back Mountain . This punch alone had separated Zhou Bao from the s.p.a.ce around him . At this moment, Zhou Bao felt like he was an insect trapped in resin . He could not budge at all .

He could only let Hong Taihe and the fist bombard him to death .

"Good timing!" Zhou Bao's body was unable to move . He did not try to escape from the frozen s.p.a.ce . He only flashed between the eyebrows and a black and red Sword Qi shot out, aiming for the fists .

Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!

Boom!

As the fists met with the sword, the sword light instantly dispersed . The fists stopped for a while, before aiming for Zhou Bao again .

"Good punching skill!" In the small pause, Zhou Bao understood the beauty of this move .

Zhou Bao's eyes began to s.h.i.+ne so brightly!

It was time to find out who was better! While the voice was not very loud, it was filled with a strong will and the fullest confidence .
