Since Liu Ming had said these words, the duel with Gao Chong was naturally not something those present could stop.
In the eyes of many inside the hall, Gao Chong was also considered a person of great strength, after all, he had once slain a fellow Sea Clan cultivator of the same rank.
Conversely, although some among them had witnessed Liu Ming's capabilities, that was when he was still a Spirit Acolyte. As for his strength having advanced to a Spirit Master, truly not one had seen it.
Upon hearing Liu Ming's response, Gao Chong's face briefly twisted with malice, and without a second word, he immediately stood up and strode out of the stone hall.
Liu Ming indifferently floated away as well.
The others exchanged glances and with varied expressions, followed suit.
Moments later, high above the vast square in front of the stone hall, Liu Ming and Gao Chong stood oppositely, still and silent.
