Tie Xiong won his match decisively, forcing Helian Shanque to concede. The fourth battle commenced between Xiao San Niang and Flower Nun, two women with a history of rivalry over the previous City Lord. Luo Chen observed that Flower Nun seemed stronger, but noted Xiao San Niang might have hidden techniques.

Luo Chen recited a mantra in his heart.

The divine power he once created was a finger technique. After wandering to this Great Destruction Realm, he also studied the three styles of finger techniques created by Wang Yuan. If he could obtain the secret manual of "Bending Flower Finger," he would surely master it quickly.

It seems now, once his realm is elevated to the Furnace Realm, he might be able to visit the higher floors of the City Lord Mansion’s Book Collection Pavilion to explore the intricacies of martial arts in this world.

He wondered how it would compare with the self-created martial arts recorded by Wang Yuan in "Divine Firmness Fighting Qi."

While pondering, Luo Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed as a turning point in the arena battle emerged!

"Ha!"

A tender yet fierce shout emerged from the well-dressed beauty who everyone could see was at a disadvantage.

In the next moment, Xiao San Niang faced the point of Flower Nun’s finger on her body without dodging or evading. The Gang Qi that spread outwards suddenly retracted crazily, as if she had turned into a massive vortex.

The surrounding Gang Qi began to rotate counterclockwise, and the acupoints previously sealed by the Bending Flower Finger were unlocked inch by inch.

In just a split second, a red sphere of light appeared in the Martial Arts Arena.

Flower Nun, caught within, turned pale with fear, retreating frantically, stammering, "Heaven and Earth Reversal, Furnace Inversion, are you insane?"

However, Xiao San Niang ignored it all, suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, clasped her hands into a palm, and struck out remotely.

Bang!

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, with just one palm, it was as if Flower Nun was trapped by some peculiar force, with nowhere to hide or escape, directly facing the palm strike.

In an instant, her features twisted, and her whole body contorted into a ball.

Then, a sound akin to a leaking air quietly emanated.

Hiss...

The high-level martial artists present turned pale at the sight.

Flower Nun was ruined!

Her Qi Blood Furnace, formed through Pill Embracing to become Gang, was forcibly dispersed by Xiao San Niang, and her Gang Qi was uncontrollably escaping from her body.

In the Martial Arts Arena, only the heavy breathing of Xiao San Niang and the continuous sharp screams of the curled-up Flower Nun could be heard.

Hearing these sounds and seeing the scene, every spectator felt their scalp tingle, a chill rising in their hearts.

Such ruthless methods, harsh not only on oneself but even harsher on the enemy!

Even on the audience platform, Xiao Yun abruptly stood up, glaring at Xiao Feng with a livid expression.

"This martial technique is a fragmentary forbidden technique, even incomplete by Father, yet you dare let her cultivate it?"

Xiao Feng remained still as a mountain, calmly replying, "The remnants of forbidden techniques are owned by both you and me. What’s there to be surprised about? I wonder if you’re concerned for Flower Nun, Xiao San Niang, or if you’re afraid the City Lord position, within your grasp, might slip away?"

"You!"

Xiao Yun glared fiercely at Xiao Feng, but gradually, his expression subdued, replaced by a mocking smile.

"There’s still one more match!"

Xiao Feng smiled slightly, "Yes, there’s still one match left. Why not sit down and enjoy it?"

"Hmph!"

Xiao Yun snorted coldly and sat straight back down.

He was absolutely confident about the final match!

The Iron Butcher was not some name of idle repute; he was a fellow disciple of Tie Xiong, skilled in Horizontal Refining Methods, combined with the battle armor and secret techniques he imparted, capable of contending even with Tie Xiong, let alone the new Guest Elder?

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Zirui looked mockingly at the young man entering the stage.

"So you’re Luo Chen. Though I don’t know why Xiao Feng holds you in such high regard, even granting you unrestricted access to the Book Collection Pavilion, should you be disgracefully defeated by Tie Xiong today, what face would you have to remain in Yixian City?"

Sounds of thunderous cheers and shouts filled the air, filled with bloodthirsty words.

"Beat him to death!"

"Tear that guy apart!"

"Iron Butcher..."

...

In the Martial Arts Arena, Luo Chen looked helpless.

In his centuries-long cultivation journey, he had witnessed many arena battles.

There were gang competitions, sect grand tournaments, and even his own Luo Tian Sect held numerous Inner Sect contests.

But it was his first time stepping onto such a stage, and the experience was rather peculiar.

No, actually, it wasn’t the first time. During the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had also stepped onto the arena, but that time it was a competition of Pill Refinement Techniques.

"Sigh, whether it’s martial arts or Pill Refinement, this feeling of being watched like a monkey show is uncomfortable."

Luo Chen sighed, his gaze falling on the man approaching in silver heavy armor.

The heavy armor covered his entire body, save for the light gleaming between his nose and eyes.

In his hand, he carried a massive long saber.

The long saber was bladeless, incredibly heavy.

This person was the Iron Butcher.

Faced with Luo Chen’s scrutiny, and the helpless expression on Luo Chen’s face, Iron Butcher’s voice came muffled from beneath the heavy armor.

"There’s no need for helplessness; I didn’t expect it would drag to the fifth match. Rest assured, I will soon end your suffering."

"Lordship?" Luo Chen chuckled, "It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that term. In that case, let’s make it a swift battle!"

As soon as the words fell, Iron Butcher moved suddenly.

He slashed down with the Chongli Long Saber, a massive Sword Gang slicing through the air.

But Luo Chen stood his ground, making no effort to dodge, merely raising his hand and flicking a finger.

Dong!!!

A deep sound resonated like a bell tolling.

That light flick of the finger landed on Iron Butcher, yet it felt as heavy as the sky.

In just one contact, he seemed to suffer a massive blow, and his Horizontal Refining Skills couldn’t even let him hold onto the Chongli Long Saber, which fell from his grip instantly.

In his frightened eyes, the young man opposite took a step forward.

Just one step!

Luo Chen seemed to shrink the ground to inches, crossing a distance of three meters to stand in front of him.

Then, his fingers danced like flowers, his hands like fluttering butterflies.

Those clearly defined hands sent streams of Qi toward him.

Iron Butcher had no time to react, unaware of the Qi Mechanism even within himself, only flashing a thought of luck in his mind,

"Just Pill Vigor, not Gang Qi; it can’t breach my Futu Battle Armor. Though his speed is quick, as long as I seize an opportunity once, I can tear him apart alive."

This thought was fleeting.

For Iron Butcher was startled to realize that the Qi streams bizarrely followed the seams of the Futu Battle Armor and penetrated inside, infiltrating his body.

Thread by thread, strand by strand, stream by stream.

In an instant, countless Qi streams, like Bone Creeping Maggots, lodged over every inch of Iron Butcher’s body.

Once all was ready, Luo Chen raised his hand for a palm strike, then gently let it fall.

"Discard!"

In the bewilderment of the entire audience, King’s Desquamation!

The indestructible Futu Battle Armor clattered to the ground.

The immense force Iron Butcher had previously ignored also surged forth.

With just one palm!

It was not merely Qi, nor even Gang Qi, just the purest physical power.

As if a mortal were struck by a bear’s paw, trampled by an elephant, swatted by a whale’s tail.

Iron Butcher stumbled back, leaving footsteps step by step, seven steps in total.

When he stopped, all the immense force dispersed, but he had no more thoughts, feeling utterly limp, closing his eyes and collapsing like a pile of mud on the arena paved with obsidian.

Luo Chen, without glancing at his outcome, turned around with his hands behind his back and calmly exited the stage.

Just a moment ago, the spectator stands were boiling with cheers, now everyone seemed to have their throats clamped, unable to utter a sound.

The entire Martial Arts Arena was deathly silent!
