<h4>Chapter 1163: Chapter 1170: Heaven and Earth Reversal (Part 1)</h4>


    "Do you think I need any evidence to prove it?"


    Upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, everyone understood. Ling Chen didn’t care about evidence. Whether there was any or not, he was going to make an example of him today. More precisely, Ling Chen wanted to use the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as a way to establish his might. Everyone feared the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and dared not offend them. Since that was the case, Ling Chen wanted to show everyone that the Dragon Tiger Hall was not afraid of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.


    Facing Ling Chen’s storm-like attacks, Wang Hao constantly shifted positions to dodge Ling Chen’s steel fists. Since the battle at Yangxin Pavilion, almost half a year had passed. At that time, Wang Hao was already an Earthly List expert, while Ling Chen was merely a Dragon List expert. However, with his versatile tactics, Ling Chen sessfully defeated Wang Hao and imed victory.


    Ever since that battle, Wang Hao hasn’t been reconciled. He felt it was his own mistake, and judged purely on personal strength, Ling Chen was far from his opponent.


    Now, half a yearter, as the two faced off again, Wang Hao found Ling Chen’s strength had improved rapidly, not much inferior to his own.


    After dodging several waves of attacks from Ling Chen, Wang Hao’s expression darkened, and he coldly shouted, "Ling Chen, I’ve been lenient everywhere, don’t me me for being impolite if you continue to press me like this."


    "Why all the nonsense? Back at Yangxin Pavilion, you lost to me and haven’t been convinced since. I’m giving you a chance today to see what you’re capable of." With those words, Ling Chen showed no signs of holding back, his attacks continuously and crazily pounced on Wang Hao.


    Under Ling Chen’s fierce attack, Wang Hao retreated step by step, soon reaching the edge of the stage. In a sudden lunge, Ling Chen nted his feet on the ground, leveraged forward, his speed rapidly elerating as heshed a whip kick at Wang Hao’s neck.


    As the violent wind struck, Wang Hao unhesitatingly tapped his hands lightly on the stage edge, his body bounced upward,nding steadily back onto the stage, avoiding Ling Chen’s deadly strike. Seeing Wang Hao retreat onto the stage, Ling Chen said nothing and immediately pursued.


    In a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ling Chen and Wang Hao. They were eager to see who was more outstanding between the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s top disciple and Ling Chen. More interestingly, one was Su He’s apprentice, the other guided by Su He, both were considered disciples of the world’s top martial arts master. Setting everything else aside, this match was very intriguing.


    As for Su He, he kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, sitting quietly as if the happenings around him were none of his concern.


    On stage, Wang Hao took off his coat and threw it aside. Having lost to Ling Chenst time, he couldn’t afford to lose again this time. Not only did he want to win, he also aimed to defeat Ling Chen thoroughly, to let everyone present know that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was the true Martial Arts overlord.


    "Ling Chen, since you’re courting death, I’ll fulfill your wish today."


    Suddenly, Wang Hao tapped his foot, and his body instantly transformed into a fleeting shadow, disappearing from Ling Chen’s sight. Seeing the opponent’s move, Ling Chen’s eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.


    Nine Yang Qiankun Step!


    Unexpectedly, Su He had passed the Nine Yang Qiankun Step to Wang Hao. If it was before, Ling Chen could use the Nine Yang Qiankun Step to maneuver around Wang Hao and gain the upper hand. At present, having lost his only advantage coupled with slightly inferior strength to Wang Hao, defeating Wang Hao was undoubtedly a challenging task.


    Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen cleared his mind, maintaining calm, his ears capturing the surrounding sounds. Since his eyes couldn’t detect Wang Hao’s position, he had to rely on his ears to discern the opponent’s location.


    A surge of wind approached, as Ling Chen, waiting silently in ce, swiftly rotated and punched out straight at Wang Hao’s body. However, before his fist could make contact, Ling Chen saw just a blur as Wang Hao disappeared once again.


    Seeing this situation, Ling Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows. This wouldn’t do, standing stationary like this was too passive, cing him at a disadvantage. Moreover, he had no method to counter the Nine Yang Qiankun Step.


    As thoughts raced through his mind, Wang Hao’s attack approached once more. This time, Ling Chen didn’t calcte Wang Hao’s location nor defend. As shadows flitted, Ling Chen performed the Nine Yang Qiankun Step instantly. Seeing Ling Chen vanish before him, Wang Hao dared not be careless, watching the surroundings vigntly. Meanwhile, the Nine Yang Qiankun Step danced beneath their feet, both transforming into fleeting shadows, swiftly moving across the stage.


    Observing the changes on stage, the audience below felt as if their eyes were dazzled, unable to clearly discern Ling Chen’s and Wang Hao’s positions, only seeing two figures shifting left and right, indistinguishable from one another. Among the crowd, perhaps only Tong Zhentian and Su He could grasp all the changes on stage.


    "Elder Tong, do you think Ling Cheng has a good chance of winning?" Qiu Yong asked.


    "Hard to say," Tong Zhentian replied solemnly. "Speaking purely of strength, Wang Hao is definitely much more formidable than Ling Chen. Also, more importantly, Ling Chen’s skills were taught by Su He, meaning his advantages arepletely nullified in front of Wang Hao."


    Upon hearing these words, Qiu Yong’s face darkened, worriedly saying, "Doesn’t that mean Ling Cheng is in danger?"


    "Don’t rush to a conclusion. Ling Chen isn’t a reckless person, surely he has some confidence to have acted this way. Let’s wait and see, he might surprise us."


    As they spoke, Ling Chen and Wang Hao had been continuously moving on stage for over a minute. The Nine Yang Qiankun Step was indeed formidable, but the consumption was equally immense. Inparison, Wang Hao could endure much longer than Ling Chen. After all, Wang Hao’s strength was considerably superior to Ling Chen’s.


    Another half-minute passed, and finally, Ling Chen’s body began to gradually manifest. Prolonged use of the Nine Yang Qiankun Step rapidly depleted his energy. At this moment, he didn’t have much strength left to maintain it. Nheless, Wang Hao continued moving at high speed, with Ling Chen as his center, constantly shifting positions. Suddenly, a fleeting shadow shed, and Wang Hao appeared behind Ling Chen.


    Before Ling Chen could react, Wang Hao’s palms had already struck Ling Chen’s back, sending him flying away.


    Smack!


    A mouthful of fresh blood spat out, Ling Chen propped himself up on the floor with his hands, standing up again. Taking two deep breaths, Ling Chen spat out a mouthful of bloodied saliva, his pale face showing a hint of determination.


    In the crowd, Nanrong Wanqing and Tang Shiyun held hands, watching Ling Chen without blinking, worry evident in their beautiful eyes.


    "Xiaozhu, Ling Chen won’t be in trouble, will he?" Liu Xiyao was somewhat concerned. Originally thinking it was merely a straightforward ceremony, she hadn’t expected so many events, now even life was on the line.


    Zhu Xiaozhu, somber in expression, said, "I’ve heard of Wang Hao; he’s incredibly formidable; Ling Chen might be in danger."


    "What should we do then?" Tang Shiyun asked anxiously, "Should we... should we call the police?"
