Chapter 289: I’ve Been Waiting For This Fight For A Long Time, Murong Xuan Faces Off Against Linghu Teng
“Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art huh? This is a really good technique.” Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up as he recalled the records about the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art.
Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art could be considered a forbidden technique for most ordinary cultivators. However, such a technique was a great perk to him!
Setting ablaze his life force in return for increased power?
Other cultivators would turn pale at the mention of it, but for Chu Kuangren who possessed the Immortal Body ability, that was simply a trivial matter.
No matter how much of his life force was set ablaze, he would still live!
Without saying a word, Chu Kuangren retrieved this technique and quickly absorbed a huge amount of profound knowledge about this technique.
“I’ll give this a go when an opportunity comes.”
Chu Kuangren grinned. He was not in a hurry to try it out immediately.
…
The second day of the Sky-Pride Championship.
The third round had begun.
The spectator seats were already full in the morning, and there were many cultivators hovering in mid-air as well. It was a bustling sight.
“The third round is about to begin. I wonder what else will we get to see this time? This is so exciting.”
“You’re right. Whatever happened yesterday was just too shocking, especially Young Emperor Lan Yu’s performance, which was nothing short of spectacular.”
“Since the third round is a fighting match, it’ll be a true battle of strength between each of the participating sky-prides. This round will definitely be much more interesting.”
As the crowd waited, the sky-prides of each respective orthodoxy entered the arena.
The Black Heaven Sect was among them as well. The moment they entered the arena, numerous people started to chant and cheer for Lan Yu of the Black Heaven Sect.
It was obvious that Lan Yu had gained a large following from her glorious one versus a hundred battle yesterday.
“Lan Yu, you’re famous now.”
Chu Kuangren teased.
Lan Yu’s expression remained indifferent as she did not care. Having been by Chu Kuangren’s side for so long, it was only a matter of time before she started to gain some fame of her own.
The three prefects then appeared in the arena.
“The third round of the Sky-Pride Championship starts today. Every orthodoxy shall send out two sky-prides to represent them in this round. And since there are six orthodoxies in each of the four main groups, it means the battle will be between twelve sky-prides.”
“For every match they win, ten points will be added up until the final winner is left standing. We shall commence the third round with Group Alpha first.”
The Thirteenth Prefect announced.
Shortly after, the third round began.
Chu Kuangren and the others just watched the fighting matches from the skybox.
As they were watching the battles, Nangong Huang and the others compared the information that Chu Kuangren had given them yesterday with the sky-prides that had started fighting.
They were surprised to find that the information that Chu Kuangren provided was extremely consistent with the techniques that were displayed by those participating sky-prides!
“Tsk tsk, where the hell did our Sect Leader even get this information from? It’s too accurate,” Nangong Huang praised.
“It’s nothing to be surprised about. Our Sect Leader surely has some secret magical techniques that we don’t know of,” Murong Xuan casually replied.
“That’s true.”
This made them more confident about the third round.
Since the other sky-prides only knew a little about them but they knew everything about their opponent’s techniques, they had a huge advantage.
“Now give up!”
A roar resounded from the arena.
Chang Tian let out a punch that erupted with violent purple surges of palm qi, and the impact was so great that it instantly sent his opponent flying.
It did not take much effort for him to defeat his opponent.
After the fight, Chang Tian looked in the direction of Black Heaven Sect and landed his gaze on Lan Yu as if he was challenging her to fight.
“This guy really needs to be taught a lesson it seems.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head and said.
“It’s alright, Master. I’m the one he’s trying to provoke. If I were paired against him in the competition, I’d have dealt with him myself.”
Lan Yu replied.
“Alright, I believe you.” Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.
Besides Chang Tian of the Overlord Sage Tribe, there were sky-prides from other sage orthodoxies who had decent performances too.
For instance, the Tempest Mountain’s Ling Feng, the Nine Fortune Pavillion’s Young Emperor, the Sky Emperor Palace’s Jing Nian, a young man called Chang Ao, and many more.
Those sky-prides could potentially be opponents to Nangong Huang and the others.
By the time the fighting matches for Group Alpha, Beta, and Gamma had concluded, it was already the next day.
It was finally time for the Black Heaven Sect’s group, Group Delta.
The other orthodoxies like Linghu clan and Thunder Falcon Tribe had sent out their respective sky-prides to participate in the match, and Chu Kuangren too had sent forth both Murong Xuan and Nangong Huang to participate.
Everyone was quite surprised at both of their appearances.
They had thought that Chu Kuangren would send Lan Yu to fight again since her strength was amazing.
If Lan Yu were to join the fight, their victory would almost be guaranteed.
However, they did not expect Chu Kuangren not to do so.
“That’s fine as well since we’ll have a chance to win.”
“Besides Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu, I don’t think the rest of them are that strong. With our abilities, we won’t lose to them that easily.”
“That’s right…”
The crowd of sky-prides sighed with relief.
On the other hand, both Murong Xuan and Nangong Huang frowned slightly.
“It seems we’re being looked down upon.”
“Indeed.” Murong Xuan and Nangong Huang exchanged glances
They were quite eager and excited by then to test the results of their training on someone.
“Now, may everyone here please draw your lots.”
The Thirteenth Prefect said.
Everyone then drew lots to pick their opponent.
To prevent sky-prides from the same orthodoxy of being paired against each other, the prefect would take out the names of other participants who were from the same orthodoxy before letting them draw the lots.
Soon, the number of matches and opponents for each sky-pride was confirmed.
For Group Delta’s first match, it was Murong Xuan against Linghu Teng!
In the arena.
Murong Xuan was full of vigor as he stood still there with his sword.
However, Linghu Teng who was standing on the other side merely glanced at Murong Xuan and grinned. “I can’t believe I’m fighting you. How disappointing.”
Murong Xuan replied, “Do you look down on me that much?”
“You’re not even a Young Emperor, so what makes you think you deserve to be taken seriously?” Linghu Teng sneered. After all, he was a Young Emperor himself, and one of the most outstanding sky-pride in the world too.
Although Murong Xuan was the Black Heaven Sect’s Daoist, everyone in the public knew that a Daoist’s position was much lower compared to an orthodoxy’s Young Emperor.
“Do you know I’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time?”
Murong Xuan chuckled.
He had wanted to join in on the action for the last two rounds, but it was unsuccessful, so he had been holding back that urge to fight until now.
Finally, his chance to fight was here!
“Oh, is that so? Then why don’t I let you…”
Whoosh!
Before Linghu Teng could finish speaking, the Murong Xuan who was standing opposite him suddenly disappeared.
When Murong Xuan appeared again, he was standing right in front of Linghu Teng’s face. His speed was so fast that it could not help but shock Linghu Teng.
“He’s fast!”
Linghu Teng channeled his spiritual power and imbued it into the longsword in his hands. A surge of mysterious Daoist Rhyme emanated as he unleashed a sword attack.
His violent sword qi gushed out like a raging tornado!
However, Murong Xuan had already leaped into the air before the attack, dodging it by landing behind Linghu Teng’s back. It was as if Murong Xuan had seen through his opponent’s movements.
“Not good!”
Linghu Teng’s expression drastically changed.
That attack may be powerful, but every time he used that technique, his body would always turn stiff for a moment because of the impact of the spiritual energy in his body.
Compared to the power behind his sword attack, only very few people would notice that moment of stiffness he was in.
Yet it seemed like Murong Xuan was waiting for him to make that move. After he dodged Linghu Teng’s sword attack and arrived behind him, Murong Xuan immediately took the opportunity while his opponent’s body was still stiff to make a move. In an instant, a scorching hot burst of sword qi erupted!
Boom, boom, boom…
The overwhelming sword qi continuously hit Linghu Teng’s body, sending him flying and crashing into a wall far away.
“I’ll f*cking kill you!”
The beaten-up Linghu Teng roared. He was about to return an attack since his body had recovered from the stiffness, but then he saw the six giant fireballs that were burning brightly above Murong Xuan who was not a far distance away.
“Divine Nine Suns Art, Six Sol Slash!”
Imbued with streaks of sword qi, the six fireballs were launched and they slammed into his body one after another.
When the dust had settled, a scorched Linghu Teng laid on the ground with both his pupils white. It was an obvious indication that he had passed out.
