Fang Zheng lightly nodded and said: "Brother Chen is indeed formidable. To think he used the Qiankun Great Method to transfer acupoints ahead of time and achieve victory. This is truly something we need to learn."

Lei Ming said: "Hm, this is good. We’ve won five matches now; if we just beat Master Kong Wen, we’ve won and saved Little Ming King!"

Fang Susu and Lei Ming were both very excited upon hearing this. Even Little Ming King was thrilled. Truly, destiny does not abandon me. In such dire circumstances, someone can still save my life; it must be fate."

"That Young Hero Chen is indeed formidable!"

At this moment, the group that came with Chen Jie was also discussing among themselves. Liu Caidie said: "I was scared to death just now; I thought we were going to lose!"

Han Ling’er heard and said: "How could that be possible? He studied my father’s Qiankun Great Method. In his lifetime, my father never regarded poison or hidden weapons as a threat. The Qiankun Great Method can be said to be a nemesis of these despicable people."

Liu Caidie said: "So powerful! This time, Chen Jiusi is truly going to be famous across the land. One person defeated the Six Great Sects; this will surely become a celebrated tale in Jianghu."

Upon hearing Liu Caidie’s words, those behind—Chen Long, Mei Tu, and Monkey—said nothing more. Only Du Xiong, trapped in the back, said: "Nonsense, it’s not that simple. Although he defeated the other four sects and Wudang forfeited, Shaolin is still left!"

Liu Caidie turned back to Du Xiong and said: "What’s up with Shaolin? Kong Wen isn’t well-known in Jianghu, not even on the Earth List; he couldn’t even make it there. How strong can he be?"

Upon hearing Liu Caidie’s words, Du Xiong replied: "Only the Heavenly List is genuinely valuable; the rest, like the Earth List, have discrepancies. Many in Jianghu avoid being on the Earth List, or don’t engage enough to be counted."

"Master Kong Wen made a move once twenty years ago and hasn’t been seen much in Jianghu since. Jianghu doesn’t know his prowess, but that doesn’t mean he’s weak."

"His strength is beyond your imagination."

Du Xiong thus spoke, and Liu Caidie asked: "Is he stronger than Song Yuanqiao?"

Du Xiong replied: "He’s very strong, regardless."

Indeed, others may not know, but Du Xiong was familiar with Master Kong Wen, because the Golden Bell Shield he learned was stolen by his father who sneaked into Shaolin—the upper volume anyway. After his father stole it from the Scripture Pavilion, he bumped into Master Kong Wen.

Du Zun greatly respected this master; he seldom acted, as usually matters didn’t require his intervention.

When Du Zun hadn’t yet breached the Melt God Realm, he had Molten Furnace Upper Realm ability and engaged in a fight with Kong Wen, assuming an easy victory, but they were evenly matched.

This battle happened twelve years ago, and since then, Du Zun has grown stronger into the Melt God Realm. Even if Kong Wen hadn’t progressed to the Melt God Realm, he must still have honed his strength.

Twelve years ago he could compete equally with my father; how could he lose to someone like Chen Jiusi now?

Having heard Du Xiong’s recount, the crowd wore somber expressions; Du Xiong was right—the master was powerful twelve years ago, why would he weaken now?

Saving the Ming King seems a long way off still.

Thus thinking, in the arena, the Five Mountains Sword Alliance carried the countered Zuo Buqun off, Chang Xuzi, pale-faced, looked at Master Kong Wen and said: "Master, with the defeat of five sects among the Six Great Sects today, whether we can succeed in eradicating evil and capturing the demon lies solely upon you."

"Please, master, take action to subdue the demon!"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Master Kong Wen cupped his hands together and exclaimed, "Amitabha Buddha!"
