Pan Heavenly King and Gu Shengyu were also somewhat surprised as they looked at Tangyu, clearly taken aback by Tangyu's actions.

Pan Heavenly King had kindly advised earlier, saying those words to make Tangyu realize Caichenzi's strength and to dissuade him from impulsiveness and getting into trouble. Yet this guy not only didn't listen, he even spoke more arrogantly.

If Caichenzi is arrogant, that indeed is true. But Caichenzi has the strength and confidence to be so. Plus, Caichenzi is just that kind of person; his fame is largely due to this personality.

But as for Tangyu, what kind of confidence does he have to be so arrogant? Although Pan Heavenly King and Gu Shengyu know Tangyu's strength is quite good, they didn't take it too seriously. After all, Tangyu is just a young guy at the Second Layer of the Zifu Realm. No matter how strong the Second Layer of the Zifu Realm is, how strong can it get? Could he possibly defy the odds and compare with talents like them at the Ninth Layer of the Zifu Realm?

Their strength is not something ordinary Ninth Layer Zifu Realm cultivators can match. Each of them can easily slay an average Ninth Layer Zifu Realm cultivator. To be provoked by a Second Layer Zifu Realm cultivator like this is indeed surprising and laughable.

"This kid is too sharp, steel breaks if too rigid, his temperament still falls short," Pan Heavenly King couldn't help but shake his head internally.

He is the foremost disciple of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and felt well-qualified to comment on Tangyu.

Pan Chenyu also glanced at Tangyu with some concern, but from Tangyu's extremely confident gaze, he also saw a kind of resolute power. For some reason, seeing this power made Pan Chenyu believe that Tangyu had his reasons and his confidence for daring to act this way. Tangyu has never been one to act recklessly; he has always been very cautious in handling matters. So today's course of action also must have some measure of certainty for him to take such steps.

On the other side, Caichenzi was already seething with rage. Was there really someone who dared to speak to him like this? And it was actually a mere Second Layer Zifu Realm individual? Who gave him such courage, the audacity to be so bold?

"Truly ignorant, since you're seeking death, then die. Hmph, even if I can't kill you, I'll cripple you. If it weren't for the proximity to the military camp, I'd truly want to kill this insolent kid. But there's no rush, there'll be chances later, when we enter the World of the Gods, we can slowly settle this account," Caichenzi resolutely decided in his heart.

With his decision made, he was naturally unceremonious and directly attacked. A dazzling beam of light shot out from Caichenzi's hand, streaking across the sky like a brilliant meteor, reaching Tangyu in an instant. Just this beam of light was formidable, far exceeding a full-strength strike from an ordinary Ninth Layer Zifu Realm Great Power. And this was merely a casual strike from Caichenzi.

"Hmph, petty tricks," Tangyu snorted lightly, with a flick of his hand, the Pangu Axe appeared, and he swiftly swung it, unleashing a mighty golden light. The Ninth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes was unleashed with force, transforming into a domineering thunderbolt, clashing with Caichenzi's beam, destroying it, and its residual energy continued towards Caichenzi.

"Hmm? The Ninth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes? Such a formidable strike reached this level of power?"

Not only Caichenzi, but others also looked at Tangyu with surprise, clearly having underestimated his strength. Pan Heavenly King and Gu Shengyu exchanged glances, their eyes assessing Tangyu anew. Initially, they didn't think much of Tangyu, but they also hadn't intervened to stop the fight, partly because they weren't familiar with Tangyu, and partly because they didn't want to offend Caichenzi. Originally, they thought Tangyu was in for trouble, but unexpectedly, his strength had reached such an impressive level.

Aside from the ancient Pangu Immortal Venerate, only Tangyu had mastered the Ninth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes. Just based on this, they had to respect him.

"Looks like I really underestimated Tangyu," Pan Heavenly King shook his head.

Caichenzi's face turned a bit displeased. He had attacked first, intending to quickly subdue Tangyu, but unexpectedly suffered a setback, which made him lose face and naturally annoyed him. With a casual wave, he dispelled the residual energy from Tangyu's Pangu Nine Axes, and snorted coldly: "You have some skill, mastering the Pangu Nine Axes to such a degree, no wonder your Jiuzhou Immortal Sect would send a Second Layer Zifu Realm to participate in this battle."

"However, your realm is ultimately too weak. If you were at the Ninth Layer Zifu Realm, perhaps it would take some effort to teach you a lesson. But now, it's as easy as slaughtering a chicken, effortless. Very well, if I defeat you in one move, it would indeed be too dull. Whatever tricks you have, use them all."

Tangyu looked at Caichenzi, retorting: "You talk as if you can definitely win against me right now. The battle just started, isn't it a bit premature to make such a conclusion? Who knows, if there are unexpected results later, where would you put your face? But then again, you don't care about face anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Every word was sharp and confrontational, not conceding an inch.

Caichenzi was domineering and aggressive, and Tangyu was equally wild, meeting arrogance with arrogance, force with force. This was Tangyu's character: if you're strong, then I'm strong; if you're polite, I'll reciprocate. Respect is mutual; if you don't respect me, why would I respect you?

That is absolutely impossible, if you want to kill me, then I'll kill you first. Tangyu doesn't care how powerful or influential Caichenzi is, if provoked, he'd ruthlessly deal with him.

"I do not attack first, but if I am attacked, I will retaliate with full force." This is a phrase Tangyu has always admired.

Being human, isn't it precisely so?

"You're courting death!" Cai Chenzi's face turned somewhat green with anger. When had he ever suffered such disdain, such humiliation?

He, Cai Chenzi, had always been lofty and respected everywhere he went, with no one daring to provoke him. Never did he expect to be so challenged and humiliated today by someone at the Second Layer of the Zifu Realm. How could this not infuriate him?

"Hmph, I originally intended to spare your dog life. Now it seems you're bent on seeking death; I can't hold back any longer. Today, I must kill you. At worst, I just won't participate in this great battle." Cai Chenzi gave a cold snort, unable to restrain his anger as murderous intent surged forth. Clearly, he truly harbored the intention to kill Tangyu.

Pan Heavenly King and Gu Shengyu couldn't help but furrow their brows. After all, they were leading figures among the disciples of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, and being leaders of the team participating in this great battle, if Tangyu were to be killed here today, it would not only bring them disgrace but also be difficult to explain to the Sect Master Immortal. So the situation, as it stood, made them somewhat embarrassed.

Though Cai Chenzi initiated the provocation, Tangyu was too brash, essentially digging his own grave.

They also understood that even if they stepped in at this moment, they couldn't possibly quell Cai Chenzi's anger—only make matters worse, possibly escalating into a war between the Chilian Immortal Sect and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect.

Amidst their hesitation, Tangyu spoke astonishingly: "Hmph, you didn't say it, and I wouldn't really want to kill you, but since you're so eager, today I shall take your dog life, saving your incessant babbling."

The same words were thrown back at Cai Chenzi, illustrating Tangyu's grandeur.

Even figures like Pan Heavenly King and Gu Shengyu wouldn't dare to utter such words. While they were at a loss for words regarding Tangyu, they couldn't help but admire his audacity and courage.

"Die!" Cai Chenzi was furious to the extreme, saying no more, and instead let actions speak for him. He flew straight out of the Immortal Boat, charging towards Tangyu. This time, his murderous intent was surging, naturally incomparable to a casual strike from before.

Cai Chenzi also wielded a sword, and his was fast and domineering, with the momentum of lightning and thunder. As the sword attacked, it was like a thunderous explosion, with the sound of sword cries connecting with heaven and earth, echoing thunder. An extremely domineering sword light swept across, shaking the heavens. Within this vast space of tens of thousands of feet, everything was in turmoil, transformed into a terrifying Sword Domain, where Cai Chenzi was the Sword Immortal, controlling everything.

At this moment, Cai Chenzi evidently used several techniques, making his power dreadfully formidable.

Such brilliance stirred shock in figures like Pan Heavenly King, witnessing Cai Chenzi's true strength for the first time. Such brilliance even instilled a bit of timidity in Pan Heavenly King's heart.

He was only the foremost disciple of the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, but in terms of the entire human clan's talent, he was nothing significant. As for Cai Chenzi, he should be above him.

"Today's affairs, I'm afraid, will be tough to resolve, yet there's no way around it." Pan Heavenly King shook his head, unwilling to involve himself in Tangyu's matter, finding himself unable to manage it.

"Want me dead? That's impossible." Tangyu roared, also flying out of the Immortal Boat, fearlessly confronting the attack. One hand gripping the Pangu Axe, the other the Yuguang Sword, he unleashed all his power. The Pangu Nine Axes and Bright Moon Style were fully unleashed, his strength soaring to the peak. Meanwhile, the Square Inch Kill was also performed as the void wildly split open, with beams of brilliance assailing towards Cai Chenzi.

Though it wasn't enough to threaten Cai Chenzi, it was capable of affecting him somewhat.

"Hmph, mere petty tricks, yet you dare bring them out!" Cai Chenzi stood within the Sword Domain, high-spirited. The sudden blades were easily shattered by his sword light, unable to approach him.

The Pangu Nine Axes and Bright Moon Style fiercely slashed upon the Sword Domain, resulting in a terrifying clash that sparked dazzling lights, shaking the entire space as if a massive tsunami hit, immensely formidable.

"What? It was blocked?"

"This guy actually blocked it?"

"Such a powerful Sword Force, multitasking, the Pangu Nine Axes so domineering, and the Sword Force remarkably sharp, embodying the grandeur of the Yin Yang Great Path and Sword Great Path, with shocking power. This kid has such terrifying strength?"
