Chapter 473 Targeted!
Upon hearing these words, Qin Jiang and the others made their way to the platform one after another.
As he ascended, Xiang Longhu happened to pass by Qin Jiang.
He paused, speaking indifferently to Qin Jiang, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have the chance to make it into the top eight, you're really quite lucky."
"However, this time it's a free-for-all, and we from Dragon Hall are always targeted by them. You better watch out for yourself, and don't drag me down, got it!"
Qin Jiang frowned slightly, "Where did you get the idea that I would drag you down?"
"Don't forget, your entry into the top eight was purely luck. Don't think it was really by strength."
"You are the weakest here in the top eight. Don't expect me to protect you!"
Xiang Longhu wore a look of arrogance, clearly not taking Qin Jiang seriously at all.
"Hmm." Qin Jiang simply nodded indifferently, his attitude aloof.
This made Xiang Longhu somewhat displeased.
Originally, if Qin Jiang had shown him some deference, which would have put him in a good mood, he might have considered helping him out of a sense of camaraderie on the platform if Qin Jiang really ran into any trouble.
But now, it seemed completely unnecessary. Let Qin Jiang fend for himself!
The competitors stood around the platform, looking at each other.
After stepping onto the platform, Qin Jiang once again encountered Shen Lian.
"Kid, you're dead meat now!"
Shen Lian's eyes narrowed slightly, his face carrying a cold smile that suggested he was eyeing his prey.
Qin Jiang merely glanced at him and then disregarded him, turning his gaze to Tie Yimu, Xiao Wujiu... and the others instead.
These people were his real formidable opponents!
Seeing Qin Jiang ignore him once again, the killing intent in Shen Lian's eyes grew even more intense.
He vowed to himself that this kid would no longer stand on the platform.
"The competition begins!"
As the bell rang out, the atmosphere on the platform became tense and fraught with confrontation.
Shen Lian's gaze was fixed on Qin Jiang; he wanted to be the first one to take Qin Jiang out.
"Let's get rid of this Dragon Hall rabble first, then we can slowly vie for the top four spots, agreed?"
Shen Lian looked toward Tie Yimu and the others.
"No problem."
Tie Yimu nodded then told Li Wenyen and Xu Zheng beside him, "You two, help him out."
"Yes!"
Highly esteemed in Heavenly Temple, Tie Yimu's word was law for them.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several pairs of eyes turned simultaneously towards Qin Jiang and Xiang Longhu.
Xiang Longhu's expression darkened slightly as he started to circulate the Inner Strength within his body, quietly gathering his power.
Qin Jiang was also sizing up Shen Lian and his group, ready to make a move at any moment.
"Kid, this time I'll see how long you can strut around!"
Shen Lian scoffed in disdain and then made a direct palm strike at Qin Jiang.
Seeing this, Qin Jiang also struck out with his palm!
Bang!
Their palms collided, unleashing ripples of energy from the center of their palms.
Both Qin Jiang and Shen Lian took two steps back.
Huh?
How could this be?
After exchanging a few blows with Qin Jiang, Shen Lian was slightly surprised. How had this kid improved his strength so rapidly?
He remembered that the last time an indifferent gesture had been enough to suppress Qin Jiang.
But now, Qin Jiang actually had the strength to contend with him?
Before Qin Jiang could steady himself, two figures flashed continuously before his eyes.
Finally, they both appeared on either side of Qin Jiang.
One punch each, they both launched an attack on Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang responded by blasting his palms out towards both sides!

Gang Qi Body Protection!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, a formidable force was released from Qin Jiang's body.
He abruptly pushed both palms forward, neutralizing the two men's attack.
Xiang Longhu seized the opportunity and went directly behind Li Wenyen, unleashing a long-charged palm strike at his back.
Li Wenyen had no time to react and took Xiang Longhu's punch squarely.
Splurt!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out as he was sent flying away and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Worthless!"
Tie Yimu's brows furrowed, and as he was preparing to make a move on Qin Jiang, a palm shadow came at him first.
Turning around, Tie Yimu dissolved the oncoming palm shadow with his own.
"Xiao Wujiu, what are you trying to do?"
Tie Yimu said in a deep voice, "Could it be you want to stand with Dragon Hall?"
