"I have a question," Chen Zheng said, standing up from his seat. He removed his cloak and glanced at Wang Chang, his eyes filled with mockery. "Are you just going to stand there and watch? You don't intend to make a move?"

Wang Chang was stunned.

Well, this is something, he thought. I intended to watch and wait, yet this fellow has the audacity to provoke me? He doesn't even consider me worth his attention?

"You are merely a junior. It is beneath me to act against you; those three are more than enough," Wang Chang said with a scornful shake of his head. "To me, this is utterly meaningless!"

"I'll ask you one last time, and consider it a chance. Do you really not intend to make a move?" Chen Zheng asked again.

"You..." Wang Chang's rage was fully ignited by Chen Zheng's undisguised sarcasm.

"Don't bother trying to provoke me, kid," Wang Chang retorted, swallowing his anger. He cared too much about his status to lose face over this. "Once they've dealt with your subordinate, do you really think you'll get out of this alive?"

Chen Zheng's brazenness is all because of that monstrous subordinate of his, Wang Chang thought. By himself, he's nothing but trash! Right now, Liu Changyun and the other two are fighting that freak. If word got out that I attacked a worthless piece of garbage, how could I ever show my face again?

"Congratulations on making the wisest choice. You've saved your own life," Chen Zheng's lips curled into a cold sneer as he walked straight toward the combat arena.

Many in the audience saw this and were stunned.

What is this guy doing? they wondered. Surely he isn't thinking of joining the battle himself? Isn't that a joke? The four combatants in there are all approaching the half-step Grandmaster realm. Rushing in would be suicide!

At this, Fan Xukun and the others couldn't help but shake their heads and burst into wild laughter.

That damn bastard... Fan Xukun thought. Even at a time like this, he's still trying to protect his pride and put on a show for everyone! He's truly courting death!

At this moment, aside from Chen Zheng's supporters, everyone else believed he had lost his mind. Those who were deeply concerned about him felt their hearts leap into their throats, terrified that something would happen to him. Half-step Grandmasters were truly terrifying, and the situation in the arena had already begun to shift.

Having only recently reached this level, Zhao Feng was already struggling to face three experts alone. He couldn't hold out much longer. Just then, Zhao Mang launched a sneak attack, striking Zhao Feng squarely in the chest with his palm. The blow sent him tumbling backward, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

Chen Zheng quickly rushed over, catching his back and helping him stabilize.

"War God..." Zhao Feng gasped for breath, his complexion deathly pale. Facing three opponents alone was a tremendous drain; if the fight had continued, he would have been defeated sooner or later.

"You've done very well today. Leave the rest to me," Chen Zheng said calmly. Then, with a firm push of his right hand, he sent Zhao Feng out of the arena.

The three figures on the field turned, their gazes falling coldly on Chen Zheng.

"Kid, don't tell me you intend to make a move," Liu Changyun said, his face a mask of mockery. His hair stirred without a wind, giving him a supremely arrogant air.

I have to admit, Liu Changyun thought, I underestimated Zhao Feng's ability. But there's no way Chen Zheng could be that impressive. For a monster like Zhao Feng to appear is already a miracle. I absolutely refuse to believe Chen Zheng could be even more terrifying than him.

"Kneel and surrender now," Chen Zheng stated, his gaze icy. "Sever your own meridians, and I might consider sparing your worthless lives. Otherwise, death is your only option!"

His primary goal was simply to pressure the alliance and issue a warning; he hadn't initially intended to kill.

Upon hearing his words, everyone present was stunned for a moment before bursting into raucous laughter.

Is this guy really insane? Three Alliance Hierarchs are standing before him, and he's telling them to sever their own meridians? Where did he get the confidence to say something so ludicrous?

In the stands, Ma Wenyuan slowly shook his head, unable to hide his amusement.

Although this kid is a master in his own right, he mused, there's no way he can take on three top-tier experts. All three of them have reached the level of half-step Grandmaster. If they joined forces, their combined power would be enough to contend with several regions.

"I'll leave this to you," Zhao Mang said, shaking his head in disdain as he stepped aside. Although I love to fight, I also value my reputation, he thought. If I attack a lunatic like this, I'll become a laughingstock.

"Forget it," Zhang Sheng added, his face showing his reluctance. "Alliance Hierarch Liu, you should handle this. It would be beneath our dignity to make a move." He's just an idiot. If we attack an utter fool, people won't be able to tell who the real fool is.

Liu Changyun sneered and took a fierce step forward. "Kid, you're full of surprises. Don't tell me you thought your subordinate wore us down enough, so now you can just step in and reap the rewards?"

As he spoke, his face was full of contempt, convinced he had seen right through Chen Zheng's plan.

"Let me be clear. If that's what you're thinking, it only proves what a complete fool you are! At our level, we can communicate with the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth. Unless we suffer extremely severe injuries, we can recover our strength very quickly!"

"Is that so?" Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me, how much have you recovered?"

"I haven't fully recovered, but handling you will still be effortless!" Liu Changyun's gaze turned frosty.

I've wanted to kill him with my own hands for a long time, he thought. This is the perfect opportunity. This is the best chance; if I miss it, there won't be another!

Without wasting any more words, he charged straight at Chen Zheng.

"Die, brat!" he roared, swinging his fist down with vicious force.
