Chapter 288: The Saint of the Fighting Dragon
The audience were excited, this was the moment they were looking forward to. The fight between the elite disciples was the most antic.i.p.ated event.
Out of these people, Xuanyuan drew the most attention, since he was the only one who was in the grandmaster realm.
Its Xuanyuan. I didnt think he would dare to stay. Hes just a grandmaster. Does he want to die?!
Interesting. Lets see who Xuanyuan will face later. If hes lucky, he will fight against Fenglie. If he meets some of the others, its hard to say whether he will escape with his life
Thats true, the others wont let Xuanyuan live. How reckless!
In the meantime, the grouping had begun. Starlight rose to the skies, a pattern forming above each ray. These patterns fell on the 16 disciples. A burst of starlight joined two patterns, one from Xuanyuan, one from another disciple.
I didnt expect him to fight first! How interesting, his opponent is Xie Tian of the Xie family, a sixth-rank Emperor realm fighter.
Looks like this is the end of the line for Xuanyuan. Xie tian is cruel and ruthless. All his previous opponents have died, their bodies all destroyed. It doesnt seem like Xuanyuan will fare better.
n.o.body can save him now.
Brother Xuanyuan, I never expected that we would fight against each other like this, but you are still just a grandmaster. Should I let you withdraw? Or should I go easy on you?
The match hasnt even begun yet, the winner is still undecided. Xuanyuan replied calmly, a slight smile on his lips.
From the crowd, one of the disciples yelled out, You are really audacious!
Hmph, more than audacity, its ignorance. Who does he think he is? The owner of the G.o.dly Body of the Eastern Dynasty? Another apprentice scoffed.
Xuanyuan will surely lose.
Looks like his journey will end at the top 16 of the List of Dragons. He cant go any further!
The old man in charge of the stage told Xuanyuan, If you quit now, you will receive 20 trillion merit points.
Despite the gentle nature of the laugh, it made everyone nervous and tense. It seemed to hint towards the danger in their future. Even Xuanyuan felt the same way.
Why dont you give up here? You are too young to die here. Ive spent the past two years in the time void. After coming out, I found out that you have only four years to live. If you give up now, you can still enjoy your last years. As the saying goes, its better to live rather than to die.
You should tell yourself that. Xuanyuan looked relaxed, as if he didnt have a care in the world. HIs determination was like a mountain, immovable. He had never been afraid of anyone before. Looking at Xie Tians upper rank heaven cla.s.s instrument, he a.s.sumed that Xie Tian had cultivated a xian technique. His strength had soared in the time void, allowing him to control and wield an upper rank heaven cla.s.s instrument.
Haha, since you want to act brave, so be it.: Xie Tian smiled cruelly, his bloodl.u.s.t clearly evident.
Fenglie laughed from the side, Brother Xuanyuan, ignore this piece of trash. He has been cultivating in the time void for 30 years, and has still only managed to break through to the sixth rank of the Emperor realm. I can kill a hundred Xie Tians without moving.
Xie Tians face turned an ugly shade of green. Seeing this, Fenglie looked at Xie Tian scornfully and sneered, What? If you dont agree with my a.s.sessment, I can fight you on Xuanyuans behalf. Do you dare fight me?
Xie Tians expression became calm and he replied, You dont need to try to provoke me. You have your opponent, and I have mine. Dont worry, Ill make sure your dear Xuanyuan is beaten half to death.
Suddenly, the pig screamed out, Bet on the fight, bet on the fight! Odds are 1:1!
Everyone was shocked at the audacity of the pig, organising a public bet in front of all the elders. Was he looking to die?
But just the very next moment, something occurred, stupefying everyone even more. Fenglie stood, laughing.
I bet 200,000 pounds of energy source on Xuanyans victory!
Bu Jingsha also stood up and laughed.
Since Im not as rich as Brother Fenglie, I can only bet 150,000 pounds of energy source on Xuanyuans victory.
Everyone suddenly started clamouring, placing their own bets on the fight. No one expected Fenglie and Bu Jinghsa to waste so much money on Xuanyuans victory.
2000 pounds of energy source on Brother Xuanyuans victory. Zhao Manfeng declared.
Haha, we bet 20,000 pounds on Xuanyuans victory. Even Chen Jinchou and Liu Xiangxiang, who had just received a fortune, chimed in.
Haha, thats right Brother Fenglie. Lets make this interesting. I bet 200,000 pounds on Xie Tians victory. Lu Tianxiang spoke up from the crowd.
Hmm, looks like the Lu family has placed a bet. We of the Nu family cant just sit by. I bet 100,000 pounds of energy source on Xie Tians victory. Someone from the Nu family stood up and declared.
The Lie family bets 250,000 pounds on Xie Tians victory! One of the Lie familys elite apprentices spoke up as well.
300,000 pounds on Xie Tians victory! A gentle voice rang out. Jiang Yitian looked at Xuanyuan and said, Brother Xuanyuan, one cannot be too confident in ones abilities.
That was Brother Jiang. Seeing that he bet on Xie Tian, its almost sure that Xuanyuan will lose. Lets also bet on Xie Tian! hushed voices ran throughout the crowd.
Hmph. I bet 500,000 pounds that my dearest husband will win! A soft, coquettish voice suddenly came from the distance. Huang Yuechan appeared in the sky, dressed in a purple robe, her hair held in a Phoenix bun. She stood on a cloud, her body surrounded by a heavenly light, giving off a sacred aura.
Several disciples exclaimed.
The Phoenix Moon of the East. Thats Huang Yuechan, the master of the Phoenix Moon Mountain. They say shes the next Saintess of the Fighting Dragons Sect.
Did you hear what she just said? 500,000 pounds on her dear husbands victory? Is she referring to Xuanyuan?
No way. Theres no way Xuanyuan can be considered worthy enough to be Huang Yuechans wife.
Didnt you hear? Apparently they both live together. Someone saw Xuanyuan exiting the Phoenix Palace the other day!
No way! Xuanyuan is not worthy of Huang Yuechan!
The apprentices who longed for Huang Yuechan couldnt accept this, and tried to ignore this. But what happened next destroyed their delusions.
Huang Yuechan went down to Xuanyuans side, and clasped Xuanyuans arm to herself. Flirtatiously, she looked up at Xuanyuan, Little husband, Ive come to cheer for you. Dont you want to thank me?
The corners of Xuanyuans eyes twitched. Huang Yuechan was unpredictable! How could she act like this in front of everyone?
Just then, another loud, male voice rang out.
Bai Youniang bets one million pounds on Master Xuanyuans victory.
This shocked everyone even more. Bai Youniang was clearly competing with Huang Yuechan over Xuanyuan. Two beautiful women were fighting for Xuanyuans favour!
Two million pounds. I bet 2 million pounds on my husband. Bai Shaxian, why dont you come down and fight, instead of betting on behalf of Bai Youniang! Huang Yuechan raised her bet, her voice cold as ice.
Our ladys order, three million pounds on Xuanyuans victory. Bai Shaxian spoke up again. He ignored the glare that Huang Yuechan shot out.
Hmph, nevermind. I cant compete against the deep wallet that Miss Bai has. But Im still closer to my dear husband than her! Her eyes shy, she cosied up even more to Xuanyuan.
Groans ran through the crowd. Several people were seeking her hand, and her actions broke their hearts. They couldnt believe that they stood no chance. Even Jiang Yitian couldnt help but frown.
Voices continued to ring out, betting on the match.
50,000 pounds on Xie Tians victory!
80,000 pounds on Xie Tinas victory.
The stakes of gamble kept soaring. The pig laughed with glee at his prospective winnings as he noted the details of all those who bet.
Just then, a bright light lit up the sky. A domineering power filled the atmosphere.
