When Cao Min brought Yang Qi to the martial arts arena, there were already several practitioners waiting inside, led by a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
"Brother Yang, this is the head of my Cao family, Cao Rong." Cao Min introduced Yang Qi.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi immediately bowed slightly and said, "Senior Cao."
Cao Rong is a high-level Martial Emperor, while Yang Qi is only a mid-level Martial Emperor. Plus, they are not very familiar with each other, so it is only natural for him to call him senior.
"Brother Yang, there's no need to be polite. Since you saved Cao Min's life, you can just call me Brother Cao." Cao Rong said with a faint smile.
Although the top leaders of the Cao family had some doubts about Yang Qi's strength, they were just doubts. If Yang Qi really had the strength that Cao Min said, then that would be the hope of their Cao family in this competition. Therefore, even the head of the family, Cao Rong, was extremely polite to Yang Qi. After all, the Cao family might have something to ask Yang Qi for!
"Brother Cao." Yang Qi nodded.
Although he was only at the early stage of the five-star Martial Emperor, his combat power was close to that of a seven-star Martial Emperor, and he was not arrogant when talking to his peers.
"Since you are here, Brother Yang, we know the reason why we asked you to come here this time. It's not that we don't believe in Cao Min and your strength, but this matter has a significant impact on the Cao family, so we have to be cautious." Cao Rong looked at Yang Qi and said.
Hearing this, Yang Qi understood very well and said, "I understand!"
If it were him, he would probably have some doubts if a cultivator suddenly appeared and said he could help the family win. Although the Cao family had some doubts about his ability, at least they acted in an open and aboveboard manner, so he naturally would not take it to heart.
Cao Rong looked at a man standing not far from him and introduced him, "This is Cao Zhang, a mid-stage five-star martial emperor. He was originally the cultivator from my Cao family who was going to participate in the competition this time, but the other two families..."
Cao Zhang can be said to be the cultivator with the greatest talent and potential in the Martial Emperor realm of this generation of the Cao family. With less than 30,000 years of practice, he has already reached the mid-stage of the five-star Martial Emperor. If he continues to grow in the future, he will have every chance to become a high-level Martial Emperor, and even reach the nine-star Martial Emperor or even higher realms.
"Brother Yang." Cao Zhang bowed slightly towards Yang Qi.
As a strong man in the Martial Emperor Realm of the Cao family, Cao Zhang still has some confidence in his own strength, but he has some doubts about Yang Qi's strength. After all, in the cultivation world, at the same level, the strongest are often the insect beast and puppet cultivators, because they don't fight alone, so their burst of strength is naturally stronger.
"Brother Cao." Yang Qi bowed slightly in return.
Cao Rong glanced at Yang Qi and the others, then said, "Since everyone is here, let's get started."
The main purpose of this meeting is to confirm Yang Qi's strength, whether he is as powerful as Cao Min said. Once Yang Qi's strength is confirmed, the next step will be cooperation.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Yang Qi and Cao Min flashed and instantly appeared on the stage.
Buzz~
As the two appeared on the ring, the protective formation on the ring activated, the surrounding scenery changed, and the two appeared in a vast void.
Whoosh~
When Yang Qi and the other person appeared in the void, a figure suddenly flew out from Cao Zhang's body. It was his corpse puppet clone. The strength of the corpse puppet clone was even higher than Cao Zhang's cultivation level, reaching the late stage of five-star martial arts.
"Brother Yang, be careful. When I work together with my corpse puppet clone, the power we unleash is comparable to that of a six-star Martial Emperor." Cao Zhang looked at Yang Qi and said.
With less than 30,000 years of cultivation, he has already reached the mid-stage of the five-star Martial Emperor. If he cooperates with the corpse puppet, he can even burst out the combat power of the six-star Martial Emperor. Cao Zhang is indeed qualified to be proud of himself. If the other two forces had not temporarily recruited honorary guests, Cao Zhang's chances of winning would actually be quite high!
Yang Qi nodded. When he was at the peak of the three-star Martial Emperor level, he already possessed the combat power of a six-star Martial Emperor. Now his combat power was comparable to that of a seven-star Martial Emperor. Naturally, he would not take the mere six-star Martial Emperor level combat power seriously.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Just as Cao Zhang finished his words, his body, coordinated with the corpse puppet clone, transformed into two streams of light and rushed directly towards Yang Qi.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Two sharp sword beams burst out from the hands of Cao Zhang and the corpse puppet clone, instantly blocking Yang Qi's retreat and forcing Yang Qi to fight back.
"Break it for me!"
Facing the incoming attack, Yang Qi shook the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, and a sharp sword light directly met the incoming attack.
Boom!
The attacks from both sides collided with each other, and immediately there was a loud bang. At the same time, the soul fluctuations contained in Yang Qi's attack attacked Cao Zhang.
Since he was showing off his strength, Yang Qi naturally couldn't hold back, otherwise he would just be looked down upon!
"Soul attack!"
Feeling the incoming soul fluctuations, Cao Zhang's eyes focused and he immediately defended with all his strength. He was good at corpse puppets, but not at souls.
Wow~
When the soul attack came, Cao Zhang immediately felt his soul tremble, and the next moment, his consciousness fell completely into darkness.
A cultivator looked at the two people who were already fighting on the stage and said in a deep voice, "Cao Zhang's strength combined with his corpse puppet clone is enough to defeat even a six-star martial emperor. I wonder how strong this Yang Qi is?"
"The winner has been decided."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Rong's voice came.
What
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people changed and they immediately looked carefully at the situation on the ring, only to find that there was clearly still some distance between Yang Qi and Cao Zhang, and the previous fight seemed to be evenly matched.
"No, it's impossible that Cao Zhang didn't take any action for such a long time."
Although it was only a flash, an old man still noticed something was wrong. Such a long time was more than enough for Cao Zhang to take the initiative to attack countless times. How was it possible that he didn't take action even once!
"Soul attack!"
Almost instantly, several people realized that Cao Zhang was affected by Yang Qi's soul attack. Only this explanation could explain why Cao Zhang suddenly stopped moving in such a battle.
"How can he use soul attack? What if he hurts Cao Zhang?" a cultivator said with a grim expression.
Cao Zhang holds a high status in the Cao family and is one of the candidates for the next head of the family. If Cao Zhang's soul is damaged and affects his future path of cultivation, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Cao family.
"Since this is a competition, we should naturally go all out."
Cao Rong glanced at the practitioner who had spoken and continued, "Besides, Cao Min had already mentioned Yang Qi's strength before, but we ourselves were unwilling to believe it."
"this… "
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly showed a touch of embarrassment. Although sparring can minimize casualties, it cannot completely prevent them. They were the ones who wanted to spar with Yang Qi to see his strength. Now that Yang Qi has used all his strength, they are blaming him? (To be continued)
