195: Battle of Demigods
As the news continued to ferment, more and more people arrived from all over the country.
Among them were many foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes, or dark skin.
In addition, a large number of news reporters, self-media bloggers, and online streamers also came to join in the fun, hoping to ride the wave of traffic.
Time quickly passed to three days later, and many people took vehicles out of Wuxing Satellite City early in the morning, surging towards Tai Lake like people going to a market.
Chu Jian, Li Yu, and Li Qian of the Qinglong Battle Team were also mixed in the crowd.
"So many people!"
Chu Jian poked his head out of the car window, looking at the dense traffic, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Much more than I imagined!"
"Normal!"
Li Qian said indifferently, "After all, it's a battle of demigods, which is very rare in the entire history of mankind. No one who is qualified to watch it will miss it!"
"Yes!"
Chu Jian nodded repeatedly, "There are too many people, let's hurry over, or we won't have a spot!"
The three rushed to Tai Lake and were stunned by the scene before them.
The banks of Tai Lake were already packed with people, a dense crowd surrounding the lake so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.
"Damn it! It's only 8 AM, and there are already so many people?"
Chu Jian couldn't help but complain, "Didn't these people sleep last night?"
"Look there!"
Li Qian suddenly pointed in one direction and gasped in a low voice.
Li Yu and Chu Jian followed Li Qian's gaze and saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the sky above Tai Lake.
It was a big fat man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a burly build.
"Is that the Japan Demigod, General Chiyo Hakuhō?" Chu Jian exclaimed in a low voice.
"It's him!"
Li Qian nodded repeatedly. Hakuhō was formerly Japan's legendary Grand Yokozuna!
He awakened after the Great Cataclysm, then quickly became Japan's top master, and even broke through to Demigod five years ago, becoming Japan's first Demigod and top master!
"Even Hakuhō has come!"
Chu Jian: "I have a premonition that there will be more than one Demigod here today!"
Li Qian pouted, "You don't need a premonition, look over there!"
Chu Jian looked over at the sound, and saw figures either lying, standing, or sitting in the sky on the other side.
"Holy cow!"
Chu Jian was dumbfounded: "Chengdu Demigod Liu Guang, Guangzhou Demigod Luan Shikuan, Xining Demigod Chen Xuping!"
"Modu Demigod Lu Meisheng, Harbin Demigod Li Chunfeng, Tianshui Demigod Bai Zhangang, Feathered Gate Meng Changjiang!"
"And that one in military uniform, isn't that Xu Zhen?"
"And Zhengzhou Demigod Yang Ying!"
Li Qian added, "Wait! Why did Demigod Yang Ying bring a child? Whose child is that? Could it be hers?"
Chu Jian and Li Yu also looked at Zhengzhou Demigod Yang Ying, and indeed saw her with a two or three-year-old child.
The child was exquisitely carved, like a porcelain doll, sitting with Demigod Yang Ying on a flying carpet, suspended in mid-air.
"Demigod Yang Ying has a child? I've never heard of it before!"
Chu Jian had a gossipy expression: "This female Demigod has always been proud and has never given special treatment to any man!"
"Who on earth is so capable as to pluck this flower?"
In fact.
Many people noticed Yang Ying and her son, causing a considerable discussion.
Yang Ying was definitely an anomaly in the domestic Demigod circle!
Other Demigods had many wives and children, but Yang Ying did not!
She never lacked suitors, but she had been single for decades!
Many people admired her for this, saying that she was pure and noble, completely different from those stallion Demigods!
Some even felt it was a pity, saying that her excellent genes should be passed down, and being single was a waste of resources!
As a result...
The goddess who had been single for decades actually had a child?
Whose offspring was it?
Many people were indignant, feeling as if their idol had been defiled by a pig.
Time passed bit by bit, and more and more people arrived.
And those news media reporters, self-media bloggers, streamers, and others had long set up their live broadcast equipment to broadcast.
Netizens poured into the live broadcast rooms in waves to watch the broadcast.
"I've been in and out more than a dozen times, why hasn't it started yet?"
"So slow! Where are Wu Shicheng and Zhang Fan? Hurry up and come out!"
"Exactly! It's just a fight! Just fight it out quickly, don't waste everyone's time!"
"So annoying!"
"Are they going to fight or not! They're not going to stand us up, are they?"
Just as people's patience was about to run out and they were getting a bit impatient, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
Wu Shicheng, dressed in a gray robe, walked out from it, suspended in mid-air.
He was handsome and elegant, with a scholarly temperament, like a great scholar from ancient times who had read many books.
"He's here!"
"Wu Shicheng is here!"
"It's finally going to start!"
"A battle of Demigods! So excited! I'm getting hyped!"
Wu Shicheng's appearance instantly caused the originally calm Tai Lake and live broadcast room to boil.
The spectators who came to watch all craned their necks to look at Wu Shicheng.
At this moment, they heard Wu Shicheng speak coldly: "Zhang Fan, since you're here, come out and fight!"
"Good!"
Zhang Fan suddenly appeared in the sky above Tai Lake, standing at the same height as Wu Shicheng, facing him from afar.
When Zhang Fan also appeared, the entire venue erupted like a boiling pot.
"Zhang Fan is here too!"
"It's finally going to start! It was worth waiting all morning!"
"After nearly four years, I finally see Zhang Fan again!"
"Huh? How do I feel like Zhang Fan is even more burly than before?"
"Nonsense! Four years ago, Zhang Fan was only 18, he's 22 this year!"
"My husband is still so handsome! I feel like I'm suffocating!"
"Zhang Fan is mighty!"
"Four years ago, it was here that Zhang Fan slew the Black-Scaled Old Flood Dragon, Thorned Python, Three-Headed Crocodile Turtle, and Titan Seahorse, these four Monster Lords!"
"Now, revisiting the old place, he's actually clashing with a Demigod!"
"..."
Zhang Fan's appearance immediately became the focal point of the entire venue, attracting everyone's attention, and even many Demigods looked at him.
"Nascent Soul Realm?"
Demigod Liu Guang slightly frowned: "He, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, dares to accept the challenge? Who gave him the courage?"
"Who else could it be? That Sun God behind him, of course!"
Meng Changjiang said sourly, "But this kid's cultivation speed is really fast. How long has it been, and he's already in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
"At this cultivation speed, I'm afraid it won't take ten years for him to ignite the divine flame and become a true Demigod!"
Upon hearing Meng Changjiang's words, the expressions of the many Demigods present varied.
With their cultivation realm, they could tell at a glance that Zhang Fan was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, which was not much!
But if you add the five years of time, it becomes very terrifying!
Everyone knew that Zhang Fan had only awakened five years ago, yet today, five years later, he was already in the Nascent Soul Realm!
Five years!
From just awakening to the Nascent Soul Realm, this cultivation speed was simply explosive!
This was the most terrifying part!
Just as Meng Changjiang said, perhaps in less than ten years, Zhang Fan would be able to ignite the divine flame and achieve Demigod status!
"Zhang Xuanling, that dead guy, actually has such an excellent grandson!"
Meng Changjiang's tone was sour: "He really got lucky!"
On the other side.
Yang Ying also looked at her little man, a smile on her lips, and her autumn water-like eyes filled with affection!
"Tuan Tuan, look, that's your daddy!" Yang Ying said to her son.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Zhang Tuantuan stretched out his small hands, making a gesture to be hugged from afar.
"Wait a moment!"
Yang Ying said gently, "Daddy is going to fight bad guys! After he drives away the bad guys, Mommy will take you to see Daddy!"
It was late autumn, and the temperature was already very low. The howling north wind blew across the lake, stirring up surging waves.
Zhang Fan and Wu Shicheng stood in mid-air, their eyes meeting, and an invisible surge of energy emanated from their bodies.
"Zhang Fan!"
Wu Shicheng's voice was cold: "You killed my son. Today, in front of everyone, I will seek justice for my son!"
Wu Shicheng's voice was like a grand bell, echoing throughout the sky above Tai Lake, like rolling thunder, sweeping in all directions.
Zhang Fan scoffed: "There's no need for these useless words. Everyone has their own judgment on what's right and wrong!"
"Let's see the truth with our own hands! If you win, you're right!"
"If you lose, no matter how beautifully you speak, no one will take you seriously!"
"Hmph! Sharp-tongued!"
Wu Shicheng snorted coldly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed. His Domain of the Gods transformed into a giant hand that covered the sky, fiercely grabbing towards Zhang Fan.
"It's starting!"
"So excited!"
Seeing Wu Shicheng make his move, everyone became agitated, staring at the two in mid-air, afraid of missing any moment!
Liu Guang, Meng Changjiang, Luan Shikuan, and other Demigods also watched closely.
Facing the roaring domain hand that grabbed at him, Zhang Fan clenched his right fist and unleashed a punch into the air.
"Whoosh!"
The lake water below instantly boiled, and a water dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, broke out of the water, meeting the sky-covering hand.
"Boom!"
The two sides collided in mid-air, erupting in an earth-shattering roar, and then simultaneously annihilated into nothingness, actually being evenly matched.
"What's going on?"
"He actually blocked it?"
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the many Demigods watching all contracted.
Wu Shicheng's attack was very simple; his Domain of the Gods condensed into a large hand, which was essentially a domain attack!
Zhang Fan mobilizing the Tai Lake water for a head-on clash belonged to his Talent Divine Power!
One side was a Demigod, the other was a Nascent Soul, a difference of two major realms!
Logically, without external help, Zhang Fan shouldn't have been able to block Wu Shicheng's attack, but he did, which somewhat subverted the Demigods' understanding!
"This kid is a bit strange!"
Wu Shicheng's eyes were deep, and he quietly put away his contempt.
He had thought that Zhang Fan was just a Nascent Soul, and as long as he didn't kill him, the Sun God behind Zhang Fan wouldn't intervene!
In that case, he could easily control Zhang Fan and regain his face!
However, in the previous collision, Zhang Fan actually used his own strength to block the domain attack, which was greatly unexpected!
"Wu Shicheng, it's rude not to return a favor, you take a blow from me too!"
Zhang Fan let out a long roar, suddenly spread his arms as if to embrace the entire sky, and then pressed downwards.
"Boom!"
An incredibly terrifying gravity, like Mount Tai pressing down, heavily pressed upon Wu Shicheng.
Caught off guard, Wu Shicheng was directly pressed down towards the water surface.
"Damn it!"
Wu Shicheng quickly mustered all his strength to resist this terrifying gravity.
Just as he was about to touch the lake surface, Wu Shicheng managed to stabilize his body, avoiding the embarrassing sight of falling into Tai Lake.
However, it wasn't over. Zhang Fan lifted his large foot and stomped down fiercely.
"Boom!"
Gravity surged.
Wu Shicheng's back was bent, his legs began to buckle, and his entire body was like carrying a huge mountain, struggling to support himself.
The entire venue was in an uproar.
