"Ancient Demon! Chen Guan is my guest! Don't go too far!"
As Chen Guan stood up, a figure stepped forward. Gu Xun'er's pretty face was frosty, and golden flames flickered in her eyes. An invisible aura of power weighed down the Ancient Demon's head.
Standing before Gu Xun'er in this state, even the Ancient Demon felt as if a mountain was bearing down on him.
But the more Gu Xun'er spoke, the more furious the Ancient Demon became, and his gaze towards Chen Guan grew even colder.
"I'm only following the rules of the Ancient Clan. If you don't have the guts, you can refuse. Go back to where you came from!"
Despite the pressure, the Ancient Demon raised his head, looking past Gu Xun'er and directly at the young man.
Chen Guan, previously confused, finally understood after seeing the change in Gu Xun'er's mood.
It turned out to be Gu Xun'er's Boiling Sheep!
I suppose it was because of Gu Xun'er's repeated "care" a few days ago that word reached the ancient demon, leading to the scene before me.
Challenging someone over such a fabricated matter—this jealousy is truly excessive.
Understanding the origin of the situation, Chen Guan's gaze changed, as if he were looking at a clown.
Without hesitation, Chen Guan slowly stepped forward, naturally grasped Gu Xun'er's arm, and pulled her behind him.
This move caught Gu Xun'er off guard, and the ancient demon across from him glared, his murderous intent flaring.
"What do your ancient clan's rules have to do with me?"
"But I don't like your attitude toward Xun'er, so why not give you a chance?" "
I accept your challenge, not because of so-called ancient clan rules, but because of your disrespect for Xun'er." He made his point clear, and the many uninformed onlookers at the scene actually thought there was something going on between Chen Guan and Gu Xun'er.
Gu Xun'er frowned slightly upon hearing this.
She knew the truth. Chen Guan's words were merely a ploy to provoke the ancient demon.
Gu Xun'er was deeply displeased.
But there was nothing she could do about it. It was working wonders for the ancient demon!
Furious, the ancient demon lost his mind, his eyes bloodshot.
"You will pay for your arrogance!"
With this cold declaration, the sky suddenly grew icy. The ancient demon's black and white hair suddenly fluttered, and his figure vanished like a ghost.
A battle erupted!
The moment the ancient demon vanished, the crowd in the center of the square tacitly distanced themselves. The three ancient elders combined to create a massive light barrier, creating a battlefield for the two of them.
Chen Guan's smile faded. Although it took one to three months for an ancient clan member to use their clan crest after receiving it, the power of an ancient demon's eight-star Dou Zun should not be underestimated.
These geniuses of the ancient race were no simple Dou Zun from the outside world; their cultivation and training were all top-notch.
"Get out!"
A soft shout descended, and a vast amount of fighting spirit rapidly coalesced around Chen Guan's right fist. Then, with a strange flick of his arm, he unleashed an incredibly powerful energy, unleashing it without any fanfare into the space before him.
His right fist fiercely slammed into the void, but just as it was about to strike, a slender hand suddenly emerged from the void, wielding a cold, blade-like energy that struck Chen Guan's fist with lightning speed.
"Bang!"
As the two touched, a terrifying ripple of wind erupted. Cracks rapidly spread across the ground beneath their feet, and the powerful energy swept through, shattering the rubble in the square into dust.
"Hmm?"
The ancient demon materialized in the middle of the field, a startled cry emanating from its throat. It tapped the ground with its toes and quickly retreated, its right fist trembling imperceptibly a few times before recovering from the numbness.
Chen Guan, on the other hand, didn't retreat an inch. The scales on his fists gleamed faintly in the sunlight.
Clearly, in this first encounter, the Eight-Star Dou Zun Ancient Demon had suffered a slight disadvantage!
"Dragon Scale Armor?!"
"Is Chen Guan related to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan?"
At such a gathering, there was no shortage of discerning experts.
However, they didn't realize that the dragon scale armor Chen Guan wore was of the highest quality, more appropriately called Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor.
"Haha, don't worry. Ancient Demons can't use their clan emblems right now. I don't know how this kid lost."
Mang Tianchi glanced at the worried Xiao Yan and smiled. He was the only one who seemed most relaxed.
In his eyes, this battle was a sure thing.
He had witnessed the Battle of Dragon Island firsthand.
As for whether the Ancient Clan would be enraged after the battle, Mang Tianchi wasn't worried. His Thunder Clan still had some respect.
Besides, there were still Danta and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
The latter, in particular, was something even the mighty Ancient Clan dared not underestimate.
After all, outsiders were unaware of the civil unrest on Dragon Island.
In the field,
the Ancient Demon found it difficult to accept the loss suffered at the hands of a six-star Dou Zun. In public, it was a profound humiliation!
This shame could only be washed away with blood!

"Mountain-Splitting Seal!"
With murderous intent surging, the ancient demon's hand seals shifted, and a fierce palm print swooped down towards Chen Guan.
Facing the ancient demon's fierce attack, Chen Guan's feet flashed with silver light, and he quickly retreated, dodging it.
Simultaneously, a long sword materialized in his palm, and a dark green, eerie light slashed back.
"Mountain-Splitting Seal! Sea-Splitting Seal!"
Feeling the intense, blazing power, the ancient demon didn't hesitate. He shouted loudly, his hand seals dancing out, leaving afterimages. Powerful palm prints flew out continuously, unmatched in force, annihilating the sword light. A barrage of palm prints bombarded Chen Guan.
The renowned Emperor's Seal!
The ancient demon had already mastered this fighting technique to perfection. Combined with his unparalleled fighting spirit, he executed the first few moves effortlessly, without the slightest difficulty.
Facing the overwhelming, surging energy palm print, Chen Guan took a deep breath, his blood churning and his fighting spirit surging.
The next moment, under the gaze of countless eyes, a rich, dark golden light swirled up from the hilt of his sword, transforming in the blink of an eye into a massive energy spear several feet long.
"Dragon-cutting, break!"
With a soft cry, Chen Guan, grasping the energy spear, kicked through the air, shooting straight at the ancient demon like a meteor.
The Dragon-Cutting Spear was highly effective against the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, possessing an innate restraint.
However, this didn't mean it was limited to targeting Grand Void Ancient Dragons; for ordinary humans, it remained a formidable fighting technique!
"Boom boom boom!"
The countless palm prints struck, but they couldn't reach Chen Guan. Every time they struck three feet away, they were crushed by an invisible force, as if triggering a chain reaction. Violent energy waves, like a roaring flood, spread out overwhelmingly, shaking the entire square. If it weren't for the hidden intervention of powerful individuals, the entire space would have shattered long ago.
Around the square, everyone watched the fierce battle erupting almost instantly, a hint of excitement flickering in their eyes.
Many wondered what would happen to Chen Guan, already a leader among the younger generation in Zhongzhou, facing the genius of the Ancient Clan.
It wasn't just them; some of the Ancient Clan's powerful followers who were secretly watching shared the same sentiment.
"Nothing more!"
In the field, the ancient demon sneered and roared. With a clench of his hands, a thick, white, black ice surged from his body, instantly covering both arms completely in the ice.
"Shatter!"
Xuan Bing's arms lashed out, fiercely meeting the spear's tip under the gaze of countless eyes. The powerful impact sent ripples through space.
However, to his disappointment, the blow failed to shatter the Dragon-Cutting Spear!
In the realm of simple, brutal force, no one excels more than the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and the fighting techniques they employ are naturally no mere knockoffs.
"Shatter it!"
The ancient demon raged, blood flushing across his face. The fighting spirit within him surged, attempting to complete the unfinished attack.
Unfortunately, it was too naive...
Chen Guan's mouth twitched, a playful smile forming.
If you had continued to battle me with powerful fighting techniques, I might have had to put in more effort. But you're so focused on a simple, brute force crush?
Do you really think the ancient dragon blood in my body is just for show?
Are you losing face now?
With a faint smile, Chen Guan's free left hand formed a small fireball, and without hesitation, he flung it towards the ancient demon's face.
The fireball wasn't large, but it was nonetheless condensed from the strange fire, its intensity still blazing.
Feeling the terrifying heat, the ancient demon's expression paled, yet he had no choice but to free one hand and strike back.
Otherwise, if the fireball struck his face, he'd likely be disfigured instantly.
However, this action also brought a twist to the already tense situation. The dark golden spear gathered momentum, unleashing a ferocious surge of force from his arm, forcing the ancient demon back repeatedly until it reached the edge of the light barrier. Only then did the ancient demon seize the opportunity, harnessing the force and dodging.
This gesture implicitly announced a fact.
At the very least, in terms of power, this eight-star Dou Zun was utterly defeated!
"Haha, have you learned this, Xiao Yan? For those looking for trouble, you should kick them when they're down, and treat them like a slap in the face. That's something Chen the kid is very good at."
Seeing the ancient demon avoid the attack, Mang Tianchi laughed out loud, not forgetting to instruct Xiao Yan beside him.
Xiao Yan responded without turning, his gaze fixed on the spear tip poking at the light shield. There, a rapidly healing hole was strikingly visible.
This scene made many realize that the spear was more than just a facade; under the terrifying force, its sharpness could not be ignored. After all, it was a shield maintained by the combined efforts of three Dou Zun elders. Although
the ancient demon appeared somewhat distraught, he was able to withstand the blow without injury, demonstrating the true power of this commander of the Black Annihilation Army. The azure white profound ice that flowed from his body and attached to his arms was truly extraordinary!
In the square, the ancient demon's expression was stern, his black and white hair moving without a breeze. However, he did not immediately launch an attack, seemingly regaining some composure. Only an extremely cold aura continued to emanate from his body.
At the same time, a torrent of Dou Qi, like a vast ocean, surged out, roaring and surging across the heavens and earth, causing even the less powerful onlookers to feel a wave of fear.
Chen Guan, spear in hand, stood ready. He knew the real fight had only just begun; what had happened before was merely an appetizer! He
was, after all, the commander-in-chief of the Black Oblivion Army. If he were truly as disgraceful as he had shown, this ancient demon wouldn't deserve the position.
"You are indeed powerful, enough to look down upon the younger generation of Zhongzhou, but that's all. The depth of our clan is far greater than you can imagine!"
