Chapter 4549
Clearly, Kai had contacted the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace and was aware that Pavilion Master Qian was the one holding Mu Kunrong back.
“I only borrowed Wantong Pavilion’s influence, but dealing with Mu Kunrong will require Mr. Chen himself.”
“However, I’m not sure if Mr. Chen is confident in handling Mu Kunrong’s fifth-grade Mahayana Realm strength…”
Pavilion Master Qian asked this because he knew that Kai could fight beyond his level.
Kai had now reached the ninth-grade Crossing Tribulation Realm. Whether he could defeat Mu Kunrong, who was in the fifth-grade Mahayana Realm, only Kai could say for sure.
“Fifth-grade Mahayana Realm…”
Kai smiled faintly. “I might be able to take him out in an instant…”
Pavilion Master Qian was briefly stunned by Kai’s words, his eyes filled with envy.
A ninth-grade Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator claiming he could defeat a fifth-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator instantly! If anyone else had said this, Pavilion Master Qian would dismiss it as boasting.
But hearing it from Kai, he believed it without question.
“Mr. Chen, do you need to rest?” Pavilion Master Qian asked.
“No need,” Kai replied with a shake of his head.
“In that case, I’ll inform Mu Kunrong right away, and we can head to the arena now,” Pavilion Master Qian said.
Under Pavilion Master Qian’s guidance, Kai proceeded to the arena in Nanjin City.
The news of Kai’s arrival spread quickly, and many cultivators flocked to the arena to witness the battle.
At the same time, Wantong Pavilion opened its betting pool.
Nanjin City, located at the far end of the southern region, offered few recreational activities beyond cultivation. This martial arts betting event was a favorite pastime for the cultivators.
As soon as betting began, many cultivators placed their bets.
Given the previous encounter, many were aware of Kai’s ability to defeat opponents above his level, prompting a large number to bet on him.
However, Mu Kunrong, a fifth-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator, was renowned across the Tianren Realm, and plenty of people still wagered on his victory.
“Master, Kai is here!”
Liu, the Mu family’s general manager, spoke to Mu Kunrong.
“Alright, I didn’t expect he’d actually dare to show up. This time, I will tear him to pieces and avenge my two sons!”
Mu Kunrong stood up abruptly, his teeth clenched in anger.
“Master, Kai can fight above his level. You should be cautious,” Liu warned.
“Hmph! He may be able to fight beyond his level, but can he really defeat me?”
“I’m a fifth-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator. Who in all of Nanjin City can possibly defeat me?” Mu Kunrong declared confidently.
“Indeed, no one here is a match for the master,” Liu flattered.
Soon, Mu Kunrong led the Mu family entourage to the martial arts arena.
By then, the arena was packed with spectators.
Kai was already waiting on the platform, his face showing no trace of fear.
A fifth-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator? He could handle that with ease.
When Mu Kunrong saw Kai, his eyes turned blood-red, filled with murderous intent.
This was their second encounter. In their first meeting, Mu Kunrong had appeared only as a phantom.
Ultimately, the Southern Territory Lord destroyed the phantom, injuring Mu Kunrong’s real body.
Had it not been for that injury, Mu Kunrong would have emerged from retreat sooner, and his sons would still be alive.
Mu Kunrong leapt onto the platform and landed with precision.
“Boy, today I will skin you alive, tear out your tendons, and make you die in unimaginable agony,” he threatened, his glare cold and lethal.
“I can die any way you want, but only if you’re capable of killing me,” Kai retorted with a disdainful smile.
“Very well, I’ll show you how capable I am!”
As Mu Kunrong finished, his aura erupted violently.
“Wait…”
Just as Mu Kunrong was about to strike, Pavilion Master Qian’s voice rang out.
