Chapter 521 - Hurricane Sword Finger
The final battle was Chen Feng’s. It was obvious that he would win and enter the top six. In the end, the final six consisted of one Ninth Passage Stage, two Eighth Passage Stage, and three Seventh Passage Stage disciples.
This was the first time three disciples at the Seventh Passage Stage had entered the top six, and two of them were from the Clear Shallows Pavilion! The Clear Shallows King’s reputation had definitely skyrocketed today. Her disciples usually placed dead last, but now they had a chance of aiming for the top three!
Two pavilions had been eliminated, and those were now at the bottom of the rankings. The Clear Shallows Pavilion only needed to make sure that they didn’t place lower than the Red Ghost Pavilion’s, and that whether or not that happened would depend on Long Chen and Liu Yiyi.
Even so, the Clear Shallows King was more than happy with the outcome. Both Long Chen and Liu Yiyi had defended her honor, though it was mainly due to luck so far.
Chen Feng had defeated his opponent easily, but he wasn’t smiling.
The final six were called to the arena by Demon General Typhoon. Ying Shaotian and the others were feeling better after their treatment.
When Ying Shaotian woke up, he almost fell unconscious from anger after hearing that both Long Chen and Liu Yiyi would enter the next phase. But he then thought that this would be a good chance for him to defeat Long Chen in front of a crowd!
Or maybe even kill him!
It was common for someone to die in an intense fight. Even the Clear Shallows King wouldn’t be able to stop him!
They are only standing here due to luck! I’m certain that they will not advance past the final three! As long as I become one of the top three, the Red Ghost Pavilion’s rank will be higher than the Clear Shallows Pavilion’s even if I get second place! Liu Yiyi will become my woman! Ying Shaotian revealed a lecherous gaze as he stared at Liu Yiyi’s body.
Liu Yiyi sensed his gaze and hid behind Long Chen. Ying Shaotian was angry that she had ignored him completely.
“Brother Ying, there’s only six of us now. If we are lucky, one of us will fight against Jiang Cheng. Don’t hold back if you do get paired with him,” Chen Feng whispered.
“Of course.” Ying Shaotian smiled cruelly.
Demon General Typhoon approached them with new lots to draw. This time they were bamboo sticks with numbers at the bottom. He covered the bottoms and let the disciples draw them.
“Come and decide your fate! Let’s see which of you will be lucky enough to enter the top three!” Demon General Typhoon chuckled.
Chen Feng was first. Long Chen and Liu Yiyi were the last two. Long Chen drew his lot and saw the number six on it.
“Numbers one and two, stay here. The others can go down.”
Long Chen saw Liu Yiyi staring at him bitterly and knew that she was one of the contestants. So who is the other? Long Chen looked around and saw that everyone was leaving the arena. Only Ying Shaotiao stood there as he revealed his lot. He was number one.
Liu Yiyi would be fighting Ying Shaotian.
“If you can’t win, just admit defeat and leave everything to me!” Long Chen whispered to her before heading down.
Liu Yiyi nodded. Long Chen’s words gave her a sense of security.
Once everyone went down, Liu Yiyi stared at Ying Shaotian smiling at her. Her luck had run out.
Their fight also represented the conflict between the Red Ghost King and the Clear Shallows King. The Clear Shallows King didn’t want her daughter to fight against Ying Shaotian, but she was surprised by how fast Liu Yiyi had grown thanks to Long Chen’s help. Seeing her daughter’s growth made her very satisfied.
Of course, she was hoping that Liu Yiyi would be able to win against Ying Shaotian.
“She’s just a girl. It’s one thing to become someone’s wife, but it's another to try and fight in an arena.” The Red Ghost King chuckled.
“I am also a girl. You can’t even hope to beat me and yet you are insulting my daughter?” The Clear Shallows King hit back.
The Red Ghost King was not good with words, and a single retort from the Clear Shallows King was enough to make him mad. “We will see who wins in the end! You raised your daughter just so she could become my disciple’s wife.”
“Don’t you think it’s too early to say that?” The Clear Shallows King was confident in Long Chen’s strength.
“We shall wait and see!” The Red Ghost King gritted his teeth in anger.
Liu Yiyi was indeed weaker than Ying Shaotian, and everyone knew that. Still, she chose to fight him instead of surrendering.
“I don’t want to hurt such a beauty. Just give up.” Ying Shaotian smiled plainly.
“Stop bullshitting. The Ying Shaotian I know doesn’t flap his mouth.” Liu Yiyi looked fierce as her Qi circulated in her body. She was close to the Eighth Passage Stage.
Ying Shaotian knew that the more he spoke, the more the others would look down on him. His face grew cold when he saw how Liu Yiyi looked down on him. He recalled how she started to treat him poorly after Long Chen appeared.
Ying Shaotian was angry at Long Chen, but he could do nothing but vent his anger on Liu Yiyi for now.
“Careful, then!” Ying Shaotian shouted. He then turned into a blur and ran towards Liu Yiyi. A hurricane swirled around him as he lashed out at her. A massive wave of Sword Qi shot out from the middle of the hurricane!
“Hurricane Sword Finger!”
Ying Shaotian had no intention to hold back—he used an advanced Heaven-tier martial technique right at the start!
It was also the one he was most familiar with!
Facing the strong attack, Liu Yiyi grew serious and quickly shifted around the arena. She was using the Universe Eight Trigrams Array, a technique she had used on Long Chen. It was a good martial technique that encompassed both offensive and defensive moves. The brilliant light coming from the array attracted everyone’s attention.
If she were at the Eighth Passage Stage, she wouldn’t be any weaker than Ying Shaotian.
Unfortunately, she lacked the luck to advance to the next stage.
The Hurricane Sword Finger and the Universe Eight Trigrams Array crashed into each other. Ying Shaotian completely shattered Liu Yiyi’s Universe Eight Trigrams Array due to his advantage in cultivation level. Ying Shaotian was about to celebrate, but Liu Yiyi punched him the moment the array shattered.
Ying Shaotian frowned and was about to attack when he sensed another attack coming from his back.
Demonic Illusion! Ying Shaotian was surprised. It was not easy to defend against two advanced Heaven-tier attacks, but he was not afraid.
“Hurricane Sword Finger!”
Ying Shaotian’s body rotated rapidly, and he soon turned into a tornado. Several Sword Qi waves flew out of the wind, shooting in two different directions. One shot towards Liu Yiyi and the other at her Demonic Illusion.
“Damn!” Liu Yiyi knew that she was not his match. She could not handle an attack of that caliber, so she quickly released her Demonic Illusion and retreated.
“Trying to run?” Ying Shaotian smiled viciously. His disdain towards her was ignited by her retreat. He ramped up his attack, and the countless rays of Sword Qi shot towards Liu Yiyi like a torrent.
She would die if she got hit!
“I admit defeat!” Liu Yiyi shouted. It was impossible for her to block the attack. Ying Shaotian was too strong.
Liu Yiyi had admitted defeat, so the match was over. Ying Shaotian was supposed to stop attacking, but he didn’t. She would be torn to shreds if he didn’t stop.
“Bastard!” Long Chen was beyond angry. He was too far away from Liu Yiyi, so he couldn’t save her. The other Demon King was even further than him, so he thought there was no way that they would reach the arena in time.
No one could’ve guessed that Ying Shaotian would try to take Liu Yiyi’s life!
The atmosphere was tense. The Clear Shallows King was so angry that she shattered her seat and transformed into a green illusion before appearing above Liu Yiyi. With a wave of her hand, she sent Ying Shaotian’s attack flying back at him.
“You dare hit my disciple?!” The Red Ghost King was afraid that the Clear Shallows King would hurt his disciple, so he quickly rushed out to grab Ying Shaotian from the air.
Are people at the Three Martial Realm that strong? Long Chen was shocked. He thought the Clear Shallows King would never be able to save Liu Yiyi, but he was wrong. Long Chen sighed in relief.
The Clear Shallows King was not an idiot. She wanted to beat the crap out of the Red Ghost King, but it would be unwise since there was no chance the Red Ghost King would step down. That was why she hadn’t injured Ying Shaotian gravely. She would usually pulverize anyone else that tried to kill her daughter.
