CHAPTER 1060: CHAPTER 1060: BATTLE OF THE MARTIAL SAINT

Zhu Chanji’s mouth hung agape, his eyes wide open. Usually, even if Taishan crumbled before him, he would remain unfazed. But this time, his eyes were filled with deep astonishment.

"This is truly terrifying! Is this what a Martial Saint is like?" Zhu Chanji gasped, uttering a sound of amazement.

The figure was none other than Xiao Zheng!

Before the heavy iron door, Xiao Zheng appeared as insignificant as an ant, yet he effortlessly caught it with just one hand.

Boom.

Xiao Zheng swung his hand and tossed the iron door onto the ground, which collided with a thunderous boom, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

But Xiao Zheng seemed indifferent to all of this. A sharp gleam shot from his eyes as he looked towards the cave, eager to plunge ahead.

"Ah!"

Just then, a long howl echoed from the cave, followed by billowing white mist that crazily spread outward.

In the midst of this turbulent mist, a majestic figure slowly emerged, expression cold, radiating powerful energy from head to toe.

Dugu Baitian.

That strong aura belonged to the intense prowess of a Martial Saint.

"Hahaha, Brother Dugu, congratulations on breaking through to Martial Saint." Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chanji’s face instantly lit up with ecstatic delight, exclaiming excitedly: "Wonderful, wonderful."

With the emergence of a Martial Saint within Futu, the influence of Futu Base would skyrocket!

At this moment, Dugu Baitian’s eyes gleamed brightly, more dazzling than the sun, with overwhelming battle intent surging forth.

"Evil God, do you wish to battle me?"

Dugu Baitian fervently asked.

Having just broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, Dugu Baitian was eager to test his strength against someone, and Xiao Zheng was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Having fought side by side during the Demon Shield Bureau mission, their relationship was now extremely strong, so even with this slightly unreasonable request, Dugu Baitian knew Xiao Zheng wouldn’t mind.

"Hahaha, of course I do." Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile, "But you’ve just made the breakthrough, so you are probably not entirely familiar with the powers of a Martial Saint. I’ll give you a day to get used to your strength."

A glint of surprise flashed in Dugu Baitian’s eyes, and then he bowed to Xiao Zheng before turning back into the cave.

Zhu Chanji chuckled nearby: "The duel between the two young kings is something to look forward to. If word gets out, it will surely incite countless people into fervor."

Xiao Zheng gazed expectantly: "After Dugu Baitian’s breakthrough, what would his strength be like?"

He muttered to himself briefly before asking Zhu Chanji to arrange a place for him. Xiao Zheng wanted to retreat for intense focus, adjusting his mental state to its peak!

The battle of Martial Saints is not child’s play and must not be taken lightly. Even Xiao Zheng would not dare to be complacent, planning to confront the challenge in the most perfect state.

This was also a gesture of respect towards Dugu Baitian!

For martial artists like Xiao Zheng and Dugu Baitian, the greatest respect is showcasing their strongest power!

Zhu Chanji nodded repeatedly: "No problem." He led Xiao Zheng to another underground space, just like the one where Dugu Baitian was. This underground space also had a calming effect on the mind.

After entering the cave, Xiao Zheng sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began channeling his energy.

A potent aura gradually emerged from within him, slowly brewing.

...

Meanwhile, after settling Xiao Zheng, the news that Dugu Baitian would spar with Xiao Zheng spread like wildfire, causing a sensation throughout Futu Base.

Everyone grew fervent.

From young warriors to veteran experts, excitement surged among them.

That’s a Martial Saint for you!

A Martial Saint, within the realm of Martial Arts, is an unattainable peak to all, a terrifying existence to only be revered.

Witnessing a battle of Martial Saints would undoubtedly be their greatest fortune.

...

Soon, a day had passed.

Inside the cave, with a swoosh, Xiao Zheng opened his eyes, a sharp gaze shooting from them, powerful and ominous.

In that moment, his aura rose to its peak, almost like wolf smoke, shooting towards the sky, threatening to break through the heavy rock layer above the cave.

At the same time, as if sensing something, another aura of magnificent strength emerged from a different direction.

It was Dugu Baitian!

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and walked out of the cave. As soon as he arrived in the underground space, he saw Dugu Baitian already walking over from a distance.

Both of them exchanged salutes.

About to engage.

"Wait!" However, at this moment, Zhu Chanji’s voice sounded a bit urgent.

"Hmm?"

Both furrowed their brows, turning towards Zhu Chanji.

Boom!

At that instant, Zhu Chanji felt his head go blank, as if struck by a powerful impact.

His body shook, nearly collapsing.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zheng and Dugu Baitian quickly retracted their aura.

Currently, both were at their absolute peak, and releasing their aura, the intense mental force was enough to suppress humans.

Only then did Zhu Chanji feel slightly better. Standing straight, he smiled wryly: "A Martial Saint is indeed extraordinary, just a glance is nearly unbearable to me."

As he spoke those words, Zhu Chanji’s tone carried a hint of melancholy.

He was a genius too, but compared to remarkable talents like Xiao Zheng and Dugu Baitian, he was no more than a flickering firefly under the sun, insignificant and humble.

"Leader, what was your intention in calling us?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

Regaining his senses, Zhu Chanji replied: "The power of a Martial Saint is earth-shattering. If you duel here, this underground space could be completely obliterated by your battle. Our Futu Base has a facility called the vacuum pressure chamber, discovered from some ancient ruins. Although its functions haven’t been fully explored, it’s incredibly sturdy and can suppress one’s power, reducing their destructive capabilities. Would you two consider battling in the vacuum pressure chamber?"

"The vacuum pressure chamber? I’ve been there once before; it’s quite impressive." Dugu Baitian nodded, agreeing with the suggestion.

Fully aware of the formidable destructive power of a Martial Saint, even Dugu Baitian felt slightly awed. If they fought here and demolished the underground space, it wouldn’t be merely words.
