Chapter 1301: Revealed!
If he dies, help arrange his affairs!
This was Murong Ao's directive.
This statement brought the entire scene to a standstill.
It was clear, Murong Ao was serious!
Even if Xia Liu wanted to back out now, what awaited him would be a tragic punishment.
No matter what, having stepped onto this path, Xia Liu had no possibility of retreat.
Murong Yan's cheeks twitched.
Indeed, her father meant business.
"Truly courting death! What should we do now?"
Xiaowu couldn't bear to watch, if Xia Liu went up on the War Platform, he would surely die.
He said this entirely to protect the Third Miss, just didn't expect things would evolve to this point.
If he dies, the Third Miss might feel guilty for a while...
"Elder Sister, he had no intention to offend, if possible, please hold back."
This was the first time Murong Yan sincerely appealed to Murong Chan as elder sister.
If not for Xia Liu's safety, she might never have sincerely called out like this in her lifetime...
"Heh, Little Sister, did you get that right? The grand Third Miss of the Murong Family is actually pleading for a servant?"
Murong Chan seized the opportunity to raise her voice, making sure the bystanders all heard clearly.
"I don't need you to hold back, and please replenish your consumed power, I fear you might lose too fast."
At this moment, the silent Xia Liu spoke up.
Remaining silent would be better; some might have pitied him.
But as soon as he said this, everyone's expressions froze.
Damn it!
An ordinary person actually challenging a cultivator at the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation!
Forget consuming energy, even without any Spiritual Energy, Murong Chan could crush Xia Liu.
"Liu Xia, do you really wish to die?"
Suddenly, Murong Yan remembered, initially meeting Xia Liu, he intended to seek death at Crescent Lake, didn't he?
Perhaps, he said so because he wanted Murong Chan to end him quickly.
"Ha! What an amusing little fellow!"
The Heavenly Sword Elder on the high platform burst into laughter.
"Heavenly Sword Elder, what do you think?"
Murong Ao asked.
"I think something incredible is about to happen."
"Alright, I know what to do then."
Subsequently, Murong Ao stood upfront, telling Murong Chan: "Chan'er, respecting your opponent is the best respect for yourself; here are ten Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, you have half a moment to recover."
...
Though the situation seemed somewhat absurd, Murong Chan didn't decline, accepting the ten Spirit Stones floating her way, and began absorbing them in the next second.
Before long, her cultivation returned to peak condition.
"Elder Ye, could you intervene?"
Murong Yan knew she couldn't do anything; perhaps only Elder Ye could keep Xia Liu safe.
"Yan'er, your father is serious to this extent, I'm powerless."
Elder Ye shook his head with a bitter smile, unable to fathom Murong Ao's thoughts.
Why cooperate with Xia Liu's idea...
Can't figure it out...
After half a moment, Murong Ao announced: "Combatants, please step onto the platform."
"Today I will show you that a servant should have a servant's demeanor, not act insolently without direction!"
Murong Chan raised her sword, pointing directly at Xia Liu.
Under the gaze of the masses, Xia Liu stepped forward slowly.
"Liu Xia!"
Xiaowu shouted in despair.
"Rest assured, I must ensure the Third Miss wins!"
"Foolish! Foolish! You are not qualified to prove your greatness!"
Murong Yan was exasperated beyond words.
But could not vent excessive anger on Xia Liu.
So, unless he bowed his head, the only thing left was to help him handle the aftermath...
"Ha! I will prove it to you!"
With a laugh, Xia Liu turned his head, eyes meeting Murong Chan's sharply.
Just the eldest daughter of the Murong family, today Xia Liu would show her what it meant—a sky beyond the sky, a person beyond the person!
"Ah! What a pity for that pretty face."
"Indeed, such a handsome youth, a pity we won't see him again soon."
"Not impossible to see, but he might never walk on his own again, living would be worse than death for him."
"Do people from the mundane world always care so much about pride?"
"To save face for their master, can they really disregard their life?"
Sigh...
No one could help but sigh.
Because Xia Liu's end was foreseeable.
Without any cultivation, how could he stand against the eldest miss?
Facing the voices around, Xia Liu ignored them, stepping steadily onto the War Platform, proceeding to confront Murong Chan.
"You're standing up for your master, I won't make it difficult, as long as you can stand after one of my moves, I will concede right away."
Murong Chan said seriously.
"Wow! The eldest miss is truly merciful."
"The eldest miss is very kind-hearted, hopefully, this youth can hold on."
"Ha! Curious to see how things will turn out."
"The eldest miss's approach is fair!"
However, as the crowd praised Murong Chan, they heard a low murmur from her: "Flowing Flame Waterfall!"
Poof!
Seeing Murong Chan cast her spell, those who praised her spat out in shock.
This isn't mercy; she's practically taking Xia Liu's life!
The Flowing Flame Waterfall had even defeated the Third Miss at the tenth level of Qi Cultivation, against Xia Liu with no cultivation, there seemed no outcome other than death.
"In this case, I'll give you a chance too, as long as you can withstand one move of mine on this platform, I'll admit defeat."
"Haha! Has this kid gone dumb from fear?"
"My heavens! He must be mad."
"Indeed! Either mad or foolish to say such a thing."
"I feel he must have often fantasized in the mundane world and thought coming to the family those fantasies might come true."
"Heh, let the eldest miss end this fool's life for heaven and earth..."
...
Suddenly those wishing to mock Xia Liu went speechless.
One by one, they widened their eyes, staring at the War Platform.
They were utterly stunned by the turn of events.
"This is!"
"Spiritual Energy!"
On the high platform, Murong Ao and the Heavenly Sword Elder were equally shocked.
All because of the figure on the War Platform.
His palm extended towards the heavens with awe-inspiring power, the Spiritual Energy within his boundary surged with fury.
Like wind sweeping dust, like waves crashing against the shore.
On the War Platform, Xia Liu raised his hand towards the sky, his internal aura unreservedly revealed, causing the air to condense.
"Peerless Technique: Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow!"
Whizz whizz whizz!!!
The Extreme Move condensed form.
Mountains and rivers shook, heaven and earth roared.
The Qi Cultivation twelfth level aura spread overwhelmingly across the sky.
In front, Murong Chan was briefly stunned.
Then her gaze sharpened, casting the Flowing Flame Waterfall to its limit!
She had not anticipated that the youth following Murong Yan would be a twelfth-level Qi Cultivation expert!
Moreover, that aura was deeper than her own, reaching the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation!
Not only that, but the art he displayed completely suppressed hers!
Clearly, this was no weak move!
At the spectator area below, Murong Yan and Xiaowu were dumbfounded, feeling entirely unsettled.
They could not imagine Xia Liu was actually a master!
And also a super genius!
Being together for a month, Murong Yan and Xiaowu observed him at all times.
With such cultivation, how could he let himself be at their command...
