Chapter 867 Floating Snow House V.S. Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa

Followed by the imposing manner from the spear attack, it seemed as if a hole was torn open in the sky. As a burst of starry power descended, it transformed into a dignified dragon-like power that swept over the arena.

Hu Qiurui used the giant blade to block it unconsciously. He swung his arm to build an impenetrable defense. When bursts of blade light were pulled in, it formed into piles of defensive air to try to stop this astonis.h.i.+ng spear move.

Xin Tianwen could not refrain from jumping up and shouting, “Stupid!”

Initially Hu Qiurui wanted to make himself appear in an embarra.s.sing state in the disadvantageous situation, then he would unleash the sealed beast soul to launch a sneak attack on Bai Liguang.

Unexpectedly, Bai Liguang’s attack at full power was this astonis.h.i.+ng. It did not even give him the chance to set up a proper defense.

Even the most amateur people could see the depth of this move. Initially, Hu Qiurui relied on the powerful weapon to make up for the difference between him and Bai Liguang. Yet to his surprise, Bai Liguang’s weapon was even more powerful. It had completely suppressed Hu Qiurui’s weapon.

Before Bai Liguang’s giant spear, that giant blade could not stir up any effect.

“Boom!”

With a surge of powerful airflow, instantly a burst of powerful light erupted on the Xuan Yuan stage.

In the next moment, like a desperate kite, Hu Qiurui flew backward and dropped beneath the Xuan Yuan stage covered in dirt.

Barely holding on, he gushed out fresh blood madly. Appearing ashen, Hu Qiurui’s divine soul trembled endlessly. How could he dare to act blindly without thinking?

It seemed as though Bai Liguang had barely worked up a sweat. Appearing extremely helpless, he shook his head. His expression seemed to be showing that he was complaining about his opponent being too weak.

He put away the long spear from his hand and bowed to Xuan Yuan Ba. Then, he cupped his hands into a fist to thank the surrounding audience. When he turned to look at the Xin Clan, Bai Liguang raised the corner of his mouth lightly and a mocking smile emerged. Then, he walked down the stage leisurely.

How could Xin Tianwen not know that Bai Liguang was intentionally provoking him?

The burst of cheering from beneath the stage showed that they were clearly astonished by how Bai Liguang easily won. They were impressed from the bottom of their hearts.

A smile hung on the corner of Xuan Yuan Ba’s mouth. He stood up and said loudly, “Congratulations Hundred Lane Clan, you successfully defended your seat among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Although the Vase Mound Mountain failed, no need to feel defeated. Try again next time.”

This congratulating speech and comforting words naturally sounded different when it was spoken from a Xuan Yuan totem elite warrior. Cheers arose from all directions. For the time being, it lifted a small climax.

When the first round of the compet.i.tion ended, a day had pa.s.sed quickly. Everyone felt they had not fully expressed themselves. They even wanted the sun to not go down this quickly to allow the compet.i.tion to keep going.

Many anxious people longed for the dawn after a night of waiting. They desperately wanted to awaken the sun and blow away the stars.

Although not too many ripples occurred in the first round of the compet.i.tion, the excitement was already revealing itself.

For example, divine beast Fire Kylin’s Ninth Calamity Supreme Dao armor, Bai Liguang’s unpredictable actions and the much more powerful Supreme Dao weapon, which deadly restrained Hu Qiurui’s Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapon.

To those powerhouses that had yet to see many major aspects of worldly affairs, the brilliant and varied scenes were clearly a feast for their eyes.

The victory of the Hundred Lane Clan had given enormous confidence to the Thousand Feather Sect.

Although the Qin Clan did not send a divine beast to aid them, the situation from the third-tier battles were already showing optimistic results.

Regardless of the Vase Mound Mountain or the Hundred Sword Sect, the elite warriors from their third-tier were incomparable to the old and traditional Heavenly Emperor Mountain sects.

Therefore, as long as they stayed alert against the sneak attack of the sealed spiritual beast soul, with their powerful defying weapons it would not be a problem to gain victory at the third-tier round.

If the third-tier did not pose any problem, it would not be a disaster even if they were to lose in the second-tier. In the first round, the equipment Luo Baiyu had was the same as Bai Liguang, yet Luo Baiyu was slightly stronger than Bai Liguang. It would not be difficult to defeat the leader of the Hundred Sword Sect.

“Guang, congratulations.” Luo Baiyu was the first one to congratulate him at the Hundred Lane Clan’s tent.

Since Bai Liguang pressed down the Vase Mound Mountain and defended their seat among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, of course he was full of mettle.

“Baiyu, the Supreme Dao weapon master lent to us is truly powerful. Don’t you worry, Wu Xuanhu of the Hundred Sword Sect is not any stronger than Hu Qiurui. With master’s Supreme Dao weapon, it will be as easy as turning your palm to win. You only need to watch out for a sneak attack from his sealed beast soul.”

Luo Baiyu savored the hint from Bai Liguang’s battle. Thus, he felt much more rea.s.sured. He already threw his concern beyond the topmost clouds.

“Guang, now your clan has climbed the sh.o.r.e. You also got rewards from master. Honestly, I was really worried before.”

Bai Liguang sneered, “I already told you that your concern is unnecessary. It’s not that you have not seen master’s skills. The Ninth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapons he lent to us are real. Honestly, for a stingy one like the Xin Clan, besides extracting our values, they will not give us anything. Now, when they want others to risk their lives for them, what’s the use of giving some small benefits? Baiyu, I am truly regretful, I should not have been constricted by Xi’s abuse of authority to attack the Qin Clan. If we stick to our standpoint, then certainly our position will be on par with the Floating Snow House and Misty Sword Sect. Now, although Master is not treating us poorly, we must be vigilant.”

“Ah, it’s hard to bear these past events.” Luo Baiyu gave a long sigh. “I can see that in terms of equipment, Xin Tianwen cannot be matched with Master. I a.s.sume that Master has surely got many treasures from the immemorial formation. Look at the weapons he lent us, these are all at the Peak of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Certainly the ones he lent to the Floating Snow House and Misty Sword Sect are much better.”

“That’s also reasonable and proper. The opposing Misty Sword Sect and Floating Snow House challenges are much stronger than ours. Ha ha, Baiyu, it’s really nice to use a Ninth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapon. Too bad it’s a loan.”

Luo Baiyu was also aroused, he was extremely fascinated by it.

“Guang, wouldn’t it be wonderful if Master bestowed this Ninth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapon to us?”

Bai Liguang’s expression sank. “Baiyu, your appet.i.te is too big, do not be unsatisfied with small gains. It’s already good enough that master is willing to bestow us with a Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapon. Look at those who worked for Xin Tianwen, what will they get?”

“That’s right, I must not be too greedy.” Luo Baiyu immediately nodded to agree.

“However, Master once revealed that if we perform outstandingly, he can loan us a Ninth Calamity weapon for two or three thousand years.”

“For real?”

Although two or three thousand years was not exactly long in the world of martial arts, it was long enough.

“Ha ha, that will depend on your performance. If you can defeat the Hundred Sword Sect, perhaps Master will say yes if he is in a good mood.”

Luo Baiyu said with a determined tone, “I must exert all my efforts!”

He also knew that if the Thousand Feather Sect could not breakthrough, it would be the same as getting kicked out. Despite not having a seat among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, certainly the Qin Clan would choose someone

else.

The compet.i.tion went on like wildfire. The compet.i.tion for the second seat would occur between the Great Second Gate and Mysterious Reform Gate. To the Qin Clan, this compet.i.tion appeared less important.

These two sects were ancient enemies. Their nagging of grat.i.tude and grudges were extremely complicated. The battle situation also made one severely anxious, yet sometimes the difference between having a supporter and not have one was tremendous.

To the Mysterious Reform Gate, they would not dare to seek help from the Qin Clan and even more so they could not ask for help from the Xin Clan.

However, the Yun Clan supported their enemy, the Great Second Gate. Therefore, the Mysterious Reform Gate did not have a favorable situation from all three sides. Although the strength of the Great Second Gate was slightly inferior to the Mysterious Reform Gate, the speed of their recent development was also extremely swift. Plus, with the intentional cultivation from the Yun Clan, they won two rounds in succession. They deprived the Mysterious Reform Gate the chance to fight in the third round!

In this case, the Mysterious Reform Gate became the first disqualified Heavenly Emperor Mountain sect since the start of the compet.i.tion. The Great Second Gate successfully seized the spot.

Naturally, the entire Great Second Gate cheered endlessly. This leap was like a carp leaping into the dragon’s gate for the opportunity for the sect to grow stronger.

Especially when considering how the G.o.d Discarding Door would open in twenty years, such opportunity appeared even more precious. Everyone was well aware that ordinary sects were not qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the opening of the G.o.d Discarding Door. Only a sect at the level of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates were qualified.

At this moment, it was the same as acquiring a tremendous fortuitous opportunity when entering the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.

Naturally, what Mysterious Reform Gate lost was also a tremendous opportunity. Perhaps, the sect would decline. It would be unpredictable whether or not they were finished for good.

To the Great Second Gate, now the only variability was who gets the Heavenly Emperor seat. It was because when the Heavenly Emperor enters the position, they will have the qualification to banish one. Most likely the Great Second Gate would become a target. However, that will only happen through real weapons.

Additionally, when the new Heavenly Emperor enters their position, usually they will choose their most despised enemy. For a newly risen powerhouse like the Great Second Gate, usually they would not get selected for they would not stand out too much.

Inwardly, certainly Qin Wushuang had a problem with the Great Second Gate. The Qin Clan once roped in this Great Second Gate, yet this sect feigned civility and showed an ambiguous att.i.tude. In the end, they went to the Yun Clan. For such opportunists, Qin Wushuang did not like them very much.

However, of course now was not the time to haggle the Great Second Gate. To the Qin Clan, the third compet.i.tion was of crucial importance!

For the third round, the Floating Snow House would challenge the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa!

It was early morning for the third round.

Xuan Yuan Ba began to announce the contestants for both parties. This list must only get announced the moment right before the start of the compet.i.tion. It was to prevent any scheming.

For the Floating Snow House party, possessing the bloodline of the immemorial phantom dragon, Ai Simo would fight in the third-tier!

Possessing the bloodline of the immemorial divine monkey, Bao Bao would fight in the second tier.

For Lord Mu Rong Qianji, he would fight in the first-tier.

In fact, this arrangement was crafty. Qin Wushuang never planned to let his father-in-law fight the third decisive battle. It was because he knew currently, his father-in-law would surely be inferior to the old Supreme Dao warrior, Yan Beifei.

For the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa’s side, with the death of Yan Guinan, indeed they were strapped for the number of personnel. Clearly, they did not plan to strive for the third-tier and only sent out an elite warrior at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary STage. They chose to fight for victory in the first and second tier.

The second-tier partic.i.p.ant was a sealed beast soul at the Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage! This was the result of how Xin Tianwen spent extravagantly. In the first-tier, Yan Beifei would guard it himself!

For these two-tiers, Xin Tianwen was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence!
