Chapter 2685 Women Are No Inferior To Men

“I thought the Soaring Wind County’s best candidate would be Chu Yu. I never thought it would be someone else, let alone Chu Yu’s own brother, Chu Yan!”

“Since he’s been named the Soaring Wind County’s best candidate instead, it must mean that Chu Yan is more powerful than Chu Yu.”

“Who would’ve known? It turns out that the strongest among those less than 100 years old in the Soaring Wind County isn’t Chu Yu but Chu Yan who wasn’t well-known before this.”

“Chu Yan, what a masterful disguise!”

Many people were whispering among themselves. Obviously, Chu Yu of the Soaring Wind County and her brother, Chu Yan, were the centre of the topic.

The person who ranked first in the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties at that point was a young powerhouse from the Soaring Wind County, Chu Yu. As a fearless beauty, her long hair was tied behind and her exquisite facial features were on full display. Even someone like Duan Ling Tian, who had met countless beauties, was impressed. Although Chu Yu was a girl, she was gorgeous in a strong, masculine way. She was completely different from all the girls Duan Ling Tian had ever seen.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

A series of rapid wind whistling sounds were heard. The carriage without a roof that was being pulled by nine snow-white horses entered the area behind the VIP seats. As though on command, the camp expanded to cover them in a timely manner. All of it disappeared from the crowd’s line of sight.

“Now, the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties will continue…The best candidate of the thirteen counties may take your pick and issue the challenge,” the emcee announced loudly.

A roaring voice could be heard the moment he finished his sentence, “I, Xing Dong, would like to challenge Chu Yu!”

A st.u.r.dy figure stepped forward from one side of the audience. When he spoke, it was as though one could hear roaring thunder in the background.

It was a young man in gray tight-fitting clothes that showed off his well-built figure. His muscles bulged as though they were moving and twitching the whole time. Besides, there were clearly visible veins pulsating on them.

Although the young man was buff, he was only of average height at about 170 cm.

Shortly after that, he was already inside the battle ring, hovering in the air. He shot a glance at the top ten contestants of the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties at that point, and eventually his eyes found the only girl among them. His fighting spirit gleamed strongly in his eyes.

“It is the Overarching Floating County’s Xing Dong!”

“Xing Dong is the strongest person in the Overarching Floating County, and he’s less than 100 years old…I heard that he has achieved the Green Sun Golden Celestial stage a few years ago. Even if he hasn’t broken through to the Blue Sun Golden Celestial stage, he must be much stronger than he had been back then.”

“I think Chu Yu is also a Green Sun Golden Celestial…It’s hard to say who will win this fight.”

“Their cultivation base is the same…I think it depends on the celestial weapons they own and their techniques.”

“Chu Yu does have a celestial weapon…As the best candidate from the Overarching Floating County, I’m sure Xing Dong has celestial weapons as well.”

“This fight will be the fiercest battle in the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties by far. How exciting!”

As soon as Xing Dong entered the ring, the people around the battle ring who knew of him could not help but start speculating.

Whoos.h.!.+

In the meantime, Chu Yu, who had been singled out by Xing Dong, stepped forward and confronted Xing Dong.

“Xing Dong of the Overarching Floating County…I’ve heard of you,” Chu Yu glanced at Xing Dong indifferently and said, “but you are no match for me.”

“Hmph!”

Naturally, Xing Dong found it intolerable that a woman would declare that he was no match for her in front of all these people. He then scoffed and sneered in disdain. “Chu Yu, I know you are fairly powerful. Still, you’re not as powerful as I am!”

From the start, he had watched Chu Yu’s every battle. As such, he would think that he was stronger than her. Therefore, he decided to use his only chance to challenge the top three contestants of the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties. So long as he defeated her, he would be able to take her place as number one. Even though it was merely a temporary victory in first place, it was still a great honor.

Especially now that the Qin Mansion’s King Qin was there, he might stand out if he could defeat Chu Yu now and become number one in the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties for now.

‘Pfft, does Xing Dong really think the strength Chu Yu previously showcased was all she’s got? If that is the case, I’m afraid he’s out of luck.’

Among the audience, Duan Ling Tian, who was shrouded in his Celestial Master’s Robe that had a ‘kun’ word on it, narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. He had watched Chu Yu’s every battle as well. At first, there was nothing out of ordinary, but then he slowly noticed that she seemed to be holding back and hiding her true strength even in the last battle to fight for the temporary first placing in the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Sixteen Counties.

Upon hearing Xing Dong’s remark, Chu Yu c.o.c.ked her brows and cried out, “Since you are so confident, then let’s fight!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately, Xing Dong made a move. When he moved, it was like a mountain rumbling while setting off a series of air explosions behind him. It was deafening, so the audience with a weaker cultivation base couldn’t help but start frowning.

“Chu Yu, take this!”

When Xing Dong charged, he suddenly let out a piercing cry as well. Then, a broad sword appeared in his hands. The saber ray was several feet long as it flew straight at Chu Yu. Although it seemed like a simple move, it had locked on to her closely. It still went after her even as she moved around quickly, trying to avoid it. It seemed as though it would not stop until it reached her!

“Hmph!” Chu Yu scoffed and stopped avoiding it. Instantly, she retrieved a seven-foot long spear. She thrust it forward like an angry dragon roaring towards Xing Dong’s saber ray.

In that moment, with her spear, she resembled a heroic and valiant general. If she had donned armor, she would have looked like the ‘generals of the Yang family’ from the literature in Duan Ling Tian’s past life.

Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!

The saber ray crossed the sky, appearing as captivating as a crescent moon as it tried to split heaven and earth open.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

Wherever the spear ray pa.s.sed and wherever the tip of the spear pointed, sparks exploded in the air. Together they seemed like constellations that resisted the saber ray which resembled a crescent moon. Everyone watched the fight in silence with bated breath.

‘Xing Dong is going to lose soon.’

After a few rounds of exchange, Duan Ling Tian could see Xing Dong slowly falling into a disadvantage. He knew he was right.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was not the only person who could tell that Xing Dong was about to lose soon. In the VIP seats, the high-ranking officials began to look away as they thought there was no point in continuing to watch the fight. After all, the results were becoming obvious.

Chu Yu was stronger!

“Chu Yu was hiding her true strength previously!”

While the county chiefs could tell that Xing Dong was about to lose, the Overarching Floating County’s County Chief could see that too. He has a grim expression on his face. He never expected his best candidate, Xing Dong, to lose his first fight.

The group near the Soaring Wind County looked at the Soaring Wind County’s County Chief Chu Ting Xuan and said, “County Chief Chu, your daughter does live up to her name. She’s truly a woman who’s not inferior to men!”

He was obviously envious of County Chief Chu for having such a powerful daughter. In addition, he had a son who was the best candidate from the Soaring Wind County.

Chu Ting Xuan was a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar. He looked n.o.ble and chivalrous. Although he was slightly older now, it was obvious that he was definitely extremely good-looking when he was young.

“You flatter me, County Chief Chu.”

Upon hearing that remark, Chu Ting Xuan immediately looked at him and smiled humbly.

‘It’s over.’ Just as Duan Ling Tian thought to himself and began to look away…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the battle ring, Chu Yu’s seven-foot-long spear, which was a celestial weapon, seemed as though a wrymdragon was charging at Xing Dong. It crushed all of Xing Dong’s attacks, landed on him, and then sent him flying away. Even the celestial saber Xing Dong was gripping tightly with both his hands was knocked away.

Xing Dong fainted after vomiting a mouthful of blood although he was still falling. When he almost reached the ground, the emcee got to him before men from the Overarching Floating County could and lifted him up with his force. Then, he sent him over to those from the Overarching Floating County.

“Thank you, my lord!” the Chief of the Overarching Floating County thanked him immediately and then went to check Xing Dong’s injuries.

After a thorough checking, he sighed in relief and said to the valiant figure in the air inside the battle ring, “Chu Yu, thank you for showing mercy.”
