Ironwood Ancestor hadn't anticipated at all that Xiao Chong and the other six Half-step Super Warriors would all act together. Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and Huayang, along with three other Half-step Super Warriors – even a cocky individual like him knew that if a battle were to ensue, he was bound to lose. With these thoughts in mind, he found he was unable to draw upon the magical treasure in his hand. Actually, vital information regarding Lin Yun and his company had been missed by Ironwood Ancestor. Initially, when Nanweng threatened Lin Yun and his party, everyone else escaped haphazardly from fear. There weren't many people left at the scene. Then, the Super Golden Beast appeared. Its overpowering presence destroyed all surveillance equipment in the Star Domain instantly. The Super Golden Beast was notably intelligent. It recognized that these surveillance devices might expose its and Little Gold's location and activities. Consequently, the Marvel Family's inside source had captured only prior happenings and missed all following events. Many people were not aware of what had transpired then. The most anyone saw was the Super Golden Beast dealing with Ouyang Zhanlei. What happened afterward was obscure. The Star Beasts and humans were two opposing races, and the Super Golden Beast was a famed Super Star Beast in the galaxy. A furious Super Golden Beast was capable of destroying an entire large Star Domain. Its fierceness surpassed even the dreaded Bloodthirsty Demon. Unsurprisingly, the remaining people fled upon seeing the appearance of such a Super Star Beast. Therefore, Ironwood Ancestor remained in the dark about what had transpired afterward. If he had known that a Super Star Beast cub accompanied Lin Yun, and that the Super Golden Beast, which was connected to the cub, tolerated Lin Yun, his approach to handling Lin Yun would likely not be the same. From what he knew, there was once a master of the Bloodthirsty Sword who had achieved Super level, but then perished after confronting a Super Golden Beast. In other words, even if he obtained the Bloodthirsty Sword and advanced to the Super level, he might not be a match for a Super Golden Beast. If a Super Golden Beast truly backed Lin Yun... He might need to reconsider his plan of acquiring the Bloodthirsty Sword from Lin Yun. Seeing Xiao Chong and his party standing up for Lin Yun would also cease to amaze him. The presence of a Super Star Beast cub serving as a pet, a Super Golden Beast associated with it, and a Lin Yun who had yet to suffer harm, certainly wasn't ordinary. No matter what occurred, nothing would be surprising. Regrettably, he was unaware. Therefore, his current goal was to take Lin Yun away from Xiao Chong's party. "Brother Lianshan, comrade Huayang, Brother Qing Luo, Brother Meng Black, Emma White... There's no need for you to act. Let me test the true strength of this renowned Ironwood Ancestor and see why he's so conceited!" However, as Ironwood Ancestor's face was turning ugly, Xiao Chong twisted his head towards Lianshan, Huayang, and his party, speaking in a relaxed tone. "Brother Xiao..." Lianshan was taken aback, and so was Huayang. Qing Luo and Meng Black were also surprised. Emma White's eyebrows twitched. "After a retreat lasting thousands of years, I haven't fought anyone for a while. I'm curious to see how powerful I've become," Xiao Chong said with a smile. Lianshan and Huayang were stirred by Xiao Chong's words. They knew that thousands of years ago, Xiao Chong had ventured into the miraculous Immortal Origin Holy Land. It was said that almost everyone who visited the Immortal Origin Holy Land returned even stronger. After a retreat that spanned thousands of years, Xiao Chong's strength should have improved, right? Considering Xiao Chong's original strength, he just might be able to actively challenge Ironwood Ancestor. At the very least, defending himself shouldn't be a problem. With these thoughts, Lianshan and Huayang felt a sense of relief, realizing that they could let Xiao Chong spar with Ironwood Ancestor. After all, they had already demonstrated their intent to stand up for Lin Yun, so they didn't need to act again necessarily. "As it stands, we'll refrain from interfering with Brother Xiao's challenge," Lianshan and Huayang turned and nodded slightly to each other. Lianshan looked at Xiao Chong and smiled. Whoo —— As they spoke, the couple dissolved the Domain Power they had released. "Okay." "Fine." Qing Luo and Meng Black nodded, retracting their Domain Power. Emma White didn't utter a word, but she withdrew her Domain Power, signifying her decision through action. After all, they had so many Half-step Super Warriors on their side. If something unexpected occurred in the battle between Xiao Chong and Ironwood Ancestor, they could step in later. "Hmm?" Upon seeing this scene, a slight constriction appeared in the Ironwood Ancestor's pupils. He hadn't expected that Xiao Chong would make such a decision, but he instantly understood. "It is said that his strength isn't weak, probably leading to his arrogance," the Ironwood Ancestor thought, a cool smile crossed his lips, "Does he intend to use me as a stepping stone to fame?" Once one gained fame, countless others would challenge them, aiming to use their name to rise to prominence. Such occurrences were common in the universe. There were many such instances when he first made his name. However, after defeating numerous opponents, the challenges began to decrease, gradually cementing his formidable reputation. In his eyes, Xiao Chong was one such challenger. "Several thousand years of seclusion? Seems like it paid off! However, if you want to challenge me, you'll have to train for a few hundred or a thousand more years!" the Ironwood Ancestor said coldly. Whooo- Without any hesitation, he sprang towards Xiao Chong. Opportunities were fleeting, so he seized the moment to attack Xiao Chong. Best-case scenario, he would severely injure Xiao Chong quickly. Then, whether the others would hesitate or decide to challenge him again, the probability would decrease significantly. Even if they attacked him again, he would have more confidence in defending himself. *Swoosh- Accordingly, a flip of the Ironwood Ancestor's palm resulted in his magic weapon flashing towards Xiao Chong like radiant light. On the other hand- "The Ironwood Ancestor has made a move!" "Xiao Chong is too arrogant, daring to engage the Ancestor single-handedly!" "He is trying to ride on the Ancestor's coattails to fame!" "Xiao Chong? The one who defeated three quasi-Super Warriors single-handedly? Ridiculous! Those three quasi-Super Warriors were merely average and wary of each other, restraining their full strength. He may have defeated that kind of opponents, but does he think himself very powerful? The Ancestor's reputation was hard-earned through numerous battles. Even five or six ordinary quasi-Super Warriors combined are not his match! He's bound to fall flat on his face this time!" Upon seeing Xiao Chong engage the Ironwood Ancestor, members of the Marvel Family got excited. They could detect everything happening on their battleship through detection equipment. "There are six quasi-Super Warriors there, and Lianshan and Huayang together are not weak. If Xiao Chong loses to the Ancestor, and those quasi-Super Warriors gang up on the Ironwood Ancestor, what will he do?" Concerned voices rose among a few. "That's unlikely, right? They agreed to single combat. That would be a mob attack if it happened. As semi-Super Warriors, they all have a certain status, they can't be so shameless!" one person exclaimed with surprise. "Don't worry, I've just received a message. The other ancestors of the Marvel Family are already hurrying over. It seems like the Ironwood Ancestor informed them about this situation. It won't be long before they arrive. We'll see who faces whom then!" another person dismissed the concern with a shake of his head and a smile. "Indeed, among all the quasi-Super Warriors, only Xiao Chong is somewhat formidable. However, he's courting death by challenging our Ironwood Ancestor alone! Once our Ironwood Ancestor incapacitates Xiao Chong, the remaining quasi-Super Warriors will pose no threat. Perhaps the others won't even need to make it here. The Ironwood Ancestor alone might defeat them all!" Another member of the Marvel Family agreed, his tone brimming with confidence. No matter what, the Marvel Family had a fallback. The moment Xiao Chong decided to challenge the Ironwood Ancestor alone, the outcome was already sealed. "Xiao Chong must be out of his mind challenging the Ironwood Ancestor alone!" "Who does he think he is? Just a semi-Super Warrior from a small Star Domain. Does he think he's that powerful?" "Does he know why our Ouyang Family's Ancestor, the Lord of Thunder, didn't confront the Marvel Family? Foolish, utterly foolish!" "Exactly, the Marvel Family has survived for so long, it can't be that simple!" Members of the Ouyang Family, after seeing this scene, raised a chorus of angry curses. Earlier, they had seen six quasi-Warriors emerging from a fleet, who were far from simple, which gave them a glimmer of hope. If those people could severely injure the Ironwood Ancestor, the Marvel Family members surrounding them might retreat in panic. If so, they would have a chance to escape. But now, Xiao Chong single-handedly wrecked this situation, severing their lifeline. How could they not be furious? As for the outcome of Xiao Chong and the Ironwood Ancestor's duel, they were highly skeptical. Having interacted with the Marvel Family for so long, no one understood the Ironwood Ancestor's power better than the Ouyang Family. The Ironwood Ancestor was far beyond Xiao Chong, a simple semi-Super Warrior from a small Star Domain. The gap in their powers was vast.
