Chapter 1691

Giving someone the middle finger was an act of disdain, provocation, contempt, and cursing.

At this moment, Zi Chen gave Xu Hou the middle finger.

Everyone looked at the sky in shock, at Zi Chen, and then at Xu Hou, who was retreating.

One move.

In just one move, Xu Hou was defeated and retreated, his face full of shock.

Although some people had expected that Zi Chen would be stronger after the breakthrough, and that Xu Hou might not be a match for him.

However, no one expected Zi Chen to be so powerful.

He was so powerful that he defeated Lord Xu Hou, the most powerful person in a thousand years, with just one move.

Under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd, Zi Chen gave Xu Hou the middle finger.

In their eyes, this was a provocation, and also Zi Chen was expressing his disdain.

He could completely look down on Xu Hou by defeating the enemy in one move.

In the face of this humiliating action, the anger on Xu Hou's face intensified.

Man Shi and the others did not think that Zi Chen's finger was just to humiliate Xu Hou, because Zi Chen was not that bored.

Moreover, Xu Hou, who was defeated in one move, did not need to be humiliated at all.

Sure enough, Zi Chen's finger just now was not a boring action, but a real battle skill.

Thunder King Finger.

A king-level battle skill taught by the Thunder Sacred Beast.

The sky trembled, and a finger print emitting the light of thunder descended from the sky, heading straight for Xu Hou.

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure swept through the world, and the huge finger print pressed down like a mountain, causing the expressions of the cultivators at the city gate to change.

Facing this finger, they felt as if they were facing the power of heaven. It was too terrifying.

However, this finger was not targeted at them, but at Xu Hou in the sky.

Even though they were so far away, the aftermath of the finger print made their expressions change. What could Xu Hou, the target of the finger print, do in the face of this attack?

The anger on Xu Hou's face turned into horror again. The finger print that descended from the sky had completely locked onto his aura, and a huge spatial pressure appeared, causing Xu Hou to be unable to mobilize the power of space around him.

At this moment, facing the finger print, he only had one choice, and that was to resist. He couldn't even escape.

"Drink!"

Unable to retreat, Xu Hou roared into the sky, and his armor burst out with a dazzling light. He clenched his fists and blocked the attack. As his arms collided, the sound of metal clashing could be heard, and a defensive light shield appeared.

Ever since he became a powerhouse on the list, Xu Hou couldn't remember how long it had been since he used this all-out defensive move.

But now, facing Zi Chen, who had just entered the Ninth Stage, he actually had to defend with all his might.

Sure enough, the younger generation was better than the older generation. He was the first in a thousand years, but he was overshadowed by Zi Chen, who had the potential to be on par with Long Fei.

Before Marquis Xu could feel any more emotions, the finger seal fell and then exploded.

Tens of thousands of thunderous booms instantly rang out in the world. The thunderous power from the exploded fingerprints landed on Xu Hou's defense like a huge wave.

"Bang!"

Xu Hou only managed to hold on for a breath before the defense around his body shattered. Then, the power of lightning drowned Xu Hou.

A ball of lightning fell from the sky like a meteor, accompanied by Xu Hou's terrified screams.

The thunderous light landed heavily on the ground, and the earth shook violently, sending smoke and dust everywhere.

A huge pit with a radius of hundreds of meters appeared in front of everyone's eyes. At the center of the pit, Xu Hou lay there, his body covered with wounds caused by the power of lightning.

His eyes were filled with horror. Just as his body moved, there were cracking sounds. The cracks on his armor began to spread, and finally, it exploded with a loud bang.

"How could this be?"

Looking at Xu Hou's appearance, everyone was dumbfounded, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

Xu Hou, who was known as the most powerful person in a thousand years, was defeated just like that, and so thoroughly.

Although Xu Hou was not dead yet, he had almost no strength to fight anymore. Zi Chen's attack was too powerful.

Zi Chen stood in the air, looking down at Xu Hou with an indifferent expression.

This scene was similar to when Xu Hou looked at him when he broke into the city. However, there was no hostility in Zi Chen's eyes, only murderous intent.

He didn't like killing, but when it was time to kill, he would never hesitate.

Xu Hou in front of him was someone he must kill.

He took a step forward, and in a flash, he was above the deep pit. He looked down at Xu Hou and said, "Do you have any last words?"

Xu Hou smiled miserably as he looked at Zi Chen with eyes full of resentment. "Zi Chen, although you've won today, don't be too proud. You've provoked an existence that you shouldn't have provoked. Sooner or later, you'll die."

Zi Chen said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about that. In short, the grudge between you and me is that I'm standing, and you're lying down. Next, I will live, and you will die."

Xu Hou only stared coldly at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen looked at Xu Hou and said, "As an expert on the ranking, you have a great reputation in the Royal Sky Region. Everyone is looking at you like they are looking at a god. Just a moment ago, everyone was filled with anticipation for you, cheering because of your victory. But now, you are no match for them, and you are about to die, but no one is standing up for you. As for the Wang Family you are loyal to, no one is coming either. Maybe after you die, the Wang Family will come to negotiate with me and push all the blame on you."

The expression on Xu Hou's cold face changed.

Zi Chen said mockingly, "In the eyes of the Wang Family, you are just a dog. No one will care about a dog."

Xu Hou started to vomit blood. It was unknown whether it was from anger or not.

"Alright, it's time to end this." Zi Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and he was ready to kill.

At this moment, the city in front of them suddenly trembled, and golden light appeared in the city. Soon, the golden light filled the entire city.

"That is …" Seeing the golden light filling the entire city, everyone's expression changed. They had a vague guess in their hearts.

"The ranking has changed. There is a change in the Marshal Ranking. Lord Xu Hou's name is lit up."

Soon, loud shouts rang out from within the city.

When the people outside the city heard this, they fell silent.

Xu Hou was defeated, and Zi Chen had broken through to the ninth level. Now that the ranking was changed, it naturally meant that Xu Hou had failed, and Zi Chen had entered the ranking.

Now, Zi Chen had replaced Xu Hou, and became the true expert on the ranking.

For a moment, everyone looked at Zi Chen with complicated gazes.

Zi Chen lowered his head and looked at Xu Hou, saying, "Did you hear that? Your name has been removed from the ranking."

Xu Hou's resentful gaze gradually turned into hatred. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something vicious, but in the next moment, he coughed violently.

Xu Hou coughed out large mouthfuls of blood, and in the end, he couldn't catch his breath. His head tilted, and he died.

Zi Chen looked at Xu Hou in shock. He dared to guarantee that Xu Hou was not killed, but angered to death.

"So he is so narrow-minded."

Zi Chen murmured. He then raised his head and looked ahead. There were many guards there, as well as a lot of Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivators.

But when they met Zi Chen's gaze, they all looked away, not daring to look at him.

Those guards who were surging with murderous intent seemed to have suffered a huge blow because of Xu Hou's death, and their murderous intent disappeared.

Zi Chen stepped in the air and walked forward. The group of cultivators subconsciously retreated, while the guards' expressions changed, and they all looked at the leaders.

The leaders' expressions were ugly, and their gazes were constantly changing. It was obvious that they were in a dilemma.

Suddenly, Zi Chen, who was walking forward, stopped, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

He turned around and glanced indifferently at Xu Hou's corpse. A golden bolt of lightning appeared between his brows and went straight for Xu Hou.

He didn't even let the corpse go. How much hatred did they have?

The golden bolt of lightning swept towards Xu Hou, followed by a shrill scream.

Hearing this scream, everyone was dumbfounded.

Zi Chen, on the other hand, smiled mockingly, "A powerhouse who is only second to the Emperor Stage can be angered to death like this."

No one was not afraid of death, and Xu Hou was the same. He knew that he was no match for Zi Chen, but he chose to use this method to survive.

It was a pity that Zi Chen noticed it.

After killing Xu Hou completely, a light flashed behind him. Wu Xie went forward to clean up the battlefield.

Zi Chen, on the other hand, looked up at the sky. There were two people standing there, but now they were gone.

Zi Chen did not have the mood to care about where Ye Ming and Wharton went. He headed in the direction of the city.

"Everyone …"

A leader suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

However, before he could finish his sentence, a powerful aura rushed out from Zi Chen's body. This aura went straight for the leader, causing him to stop what he was about to say.

"Roar."

A loud dragon's roar was heard. The thunder dragon flew over from behind, and endless dragon's might spread.

Feeling this vast and suffocating dragon's might, many people felt their legs go weak, and they could not even stand properly.

Few people could resist the dragon's might. Zi Chen strode forward.

Swoosh.

However, there was also a powerhouse among the guards. He broke free from the dragon's might and rushed towards Zi Chen, shouting at the same time, "You are not allowed to enter the city."

"Pfft."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Chen used two fingers to form a sword and slashed forward. A golden sword aura cut open the guard's body, separating his body and armor.

A powerhouse in the middle of the Ninth Tier died.

Zi Chen stepped forward again, his pace was neither fast nor slow. The second person broke free from the dragon's might and attacked Zi Chen from afar.

Zi Chen slashed again, and the golden sword aura moved forward, easily destroying this attack. At the same time, it fell on the other person, breaking his defense and killing him.

Another attack, and another person died.

The cultivators and guards' faces were full of shock and fear. At this moment, Zi Chen was really too terrifying.

Zi Chen's expression was calm as he slowly stepped forward.

A leader whose expression changed finally made up his mind. He shouted, "Protect the city."

With a loud shout, he rushed towards Zi Chen. However, before he could reach Zi Chen, a golden light flashed, and this late-stage Ninth Tier powerhouse was split into two.

In the sky, the dragon's might dissipated. More people could not hold on and directly fell to the ground.

And below, step by step, they walked towards the city.

It was now very clear that all those who tried to stop Zi Chen would not be able to make a second move, unless they were existences like Xu Hou.

However, there were still people who rushed out, fearless.

However, no one knew what the real purpose of these people was.

As another leader died, an indifferent voice finally sounded, "That's enough."

The space shook slightly, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
