“Magic Master, your precious disciples previously used all kinds of means to win. My Dao Sect’s disciples seem to have learned some bad habits from them. Are you this angry because my disciples stole your disciples’ abilities?” The Xuan Master smiled.

  Ma Xingkong’s expression immediately sank to a frightening point. Two rank six Celestials had been killed. Now he was finally starting to grow uneasy. Furthermore, thinking of what had happened previously, he smelled the hint of a trap.

  But there was nothing he could do. Even once he won this gamble, having lost two rank six Celestials, he probably would still have lost out.

  A ruthless light appeared in Ma Xingkong’s eyes, and he sent a spiritual message to his disciples.

  Everyone was deathly silent. Even the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were stunned. They even forgot to cheer as this was too shocking. Two rank six Celestials had been killed!

  Furthermore, they had both been killed in one move. The most shocking one would have to be Guo Ran. He was clearly incredibly weak, but he had still managed to instantly kill such a heavenly genius. It completely toppled their understanding of what power was.

  “I told you that those who hear my grand name end up dead. Now do you believe me?”

  Guo Ran shook his head helplessly. He put away his crossbow and jumped off the stage, not even the slightest delight on his face. Instead, he seemed to possess the lonely helplessness of someone standing at the peak who couldn’t find anyone to interest him.

  The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples were all infuriated. He had clearly launched a despicable sneak attack to win, but even after his opponent was dead, he put on such an act. That was going too far.

  Although Guo Ran felt it was wasteful, it had achieved the desired effect. If he wanted to blame something, he should blame himself for misjudging his opponent. He could have used a smaller price to kill him, and then his posing would be even more effective.

  That made Guo Ran depressed. This was something he would have to work hard to make up for. As the saying went, practice makes perfect. He would need to be a poser more often to accumulate more experience.

  “Sorry boss, I’ve caused you to lose face. This attack was definitely flawed, but I’ll work hard to improve it next time. I’ll definitely live up to the earnest hopes you’ve placed on this junior brother!” cried Guo Ran when he arrived in front of Long Chen.

  The only thing Long Chen earnestly hoped for was for him to stop being such a poser and focus on proper things. What was the point of all this nonsense?

  “Oh, well continue advancing the best you can. I look favorably upon you.” Although Long Chen felt helpless, he couldn’t bring down his brother like this, so he gave him some ‘encouragement’.

  The Dragonblood warriors were all familiar with Guo Ran’s posing arts, but the others weren’t. Even the Dragonmark warriors were a bit stunned.

  The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were completely shocked. Killing his opponent in one move was still embarrassing to him? What was going on?

  At this time, the martial stage was quiet. None of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples took the initiative to jump onto the stage. They were waiting.

  They had clearly learned their lesson. They were waiting to see how powerful their opponent would be before choosing who would fight.

  There were still two more rank six Celestials amongst them, and one was innate. The only one stronger than them was that mysterious man in the conical hat.

  “Boss, I’m going.” Yue Zifeng saw that their opponents refused to come out, so he jumped onto the martial stage.

  “I’ve specialized in sending people to reincarnate for twenty years. I’ve always been imitated, but never surpassed. If you want to reincarnate, come quickly. I will peacefully, quickly, painlessly send you on your way. Don’t miss this chance!” Yue Zifeng’s gaze icily swept over the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples.

  Even Tang Wan-er, who had been depressed over her defeat, couldn’t help but chortle. Even Meng Qi smiled.

  Yue Zifeng was always a man of few words. For him to say such a long spiel was very unexpected.

  However, his tone was clearly off and rigid. It was like he was just reading off a script. It was clear these weren’t his words, but something someone told him to say.

  Looking at the distant Guo Ran’s evil smile, it was clear it was his idea. Yue Zifeng truly gave him face to say so many words at once.

  His voice was rigid and not arrogant enough, but his words were sharp, and they immediately infuriated the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples.

  That was especially true since they saw Yue Zifeng had no Heavenly Dao fluctuations. He wasn’t even a Celestial, yet he dared to look down on them.

  Their guess was that he walked an unorthodox cultivation path. He was most likely a soul cultivator, or someone like Guo Ran.

  However, when Ma Xingkong saw him, his pupils shrank. He had actually been so mistaken and missed such a terrifying sword cultivator hidden by Long Chen’s side.

  Just as he was about to send a spiritual message, the Xuan Master said, “Magic Master, what do you think about this disciple from my Xuantian Dao Sect?”

  “Ah? This disciple is good. Yes, very good!” Ma Xingkong was startled out of his thoughts, and just at that moment, one of his disciples jumped onto the stage, causing his expression to change.

  The barrier activated, isolating all voices from the martial stage. Of course, that included spiritual messages.

  Ma Xingkong’s expression sank, a bad feeling rising in his heart. This seemingly casual question from the Xuan Master had just been to interrupt his warning.

  Ma Xingkong was able to easily see that Yue Zifeng was a powerful sword cultivator. But that disciple wasn’t. It was very likely for him to be at a disadvantage once they exchanged blows.

  “Hmph, you’re definitely dead. A heretical path cannot have any accomplishments.” The disciple in the barrier immediately fell back and waved his staff, summoning thirteen barriers between him and Yue Zifeng.

  These thirteen barriers were like huge shells protecting him firmly. He had learned his lesson after seeing the two previous people being killed right at the start due to being off guard.

  Any of these thirteen barriers was able to easily block a full-strength attack from a rank six Celestial. With his current defenses, he was confident that neither Meng Qi’s Magical Beasts nor Guo Ran’s exploding arrows would be able to threaten him.

  “You’re the one who will die. Are you prepared? I don’t mind warning you, I don’t cultivate a heretical path. I am a sword cultivator!”

  Yue Zifeng’s right hand slowly reached for the sword on his back. His movements looked strange. Sometimes it looked as if he was pausing as he moved in segments, but other times it looked continuous. Then sometimes it looked like each one of his actions was repeated as he reached for his sword.

  Now Ma Xingkong’s expression really changed. Even the Xuan Master’s eyes narrowed. Just the way Yue Zifeng reached for his sword had gained the feeling of the Dao. That was not a realm that a Foundation Forging rookie should have managed to touch.

  The instant Yue Zifeng grasped his sword, the world became sluggish. Everyone was looking at his movements, as if his movements represented some kind of profound truth of the Dao, as if his actions were an inseparable piece of heaven and earth.

  But when he drew his sword, it was completely different. It was fast, too fast. All they saw was a bolt of lightning flashing through the air. The entire world seemed to be cut into two pieces as that sword-light mercilessly shot toward the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciple.

  The disciple was appalled as a feeling of death filled his heart. He almost instinctively drew out the power of his Spirit Blood to strengthen the thirteen shields he had summoned.

  The sword-light flashed by, the world losing all its sound. The shields were still there, and the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciple was also there.

>   “I blocked it!”

  He was delighted. That incomparably terrifying attack had actually been blocked.

  Yue Zifeng didn’t even look at him. He sheathed his sword and walked away.

  Chapter 1118 One Smash One Kill

  “What’s going on? Is he admitting defeat?” The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples were flabbergasted.

  BOOM!

  Suddenly, the runic shields the disciple on the stage had condensed exploded, and a line of blood began to appear on his forehead.

  It spread, going down his nose, chin, and neck. It was a straight line of blood.

  The disciple reached out to touch his own face, but as soon as he moved, he began to fall apart.

  He turned into two pieces that slowly fell to the ground. A transparent figure flew out that was his soul, but then it also exploded.

  The martial stage’s barrier sensed that one of them had died and automatically turned off.

  At exactly this time, Yue Zifeng reached the edge of the stage. He jumped off, as if everything had been timed perfectly by him. He didn’t get there too late, nor did he have to wait for the barrier to dissipate.

  Another rank six Celestial had been killed. And this time, there had been no trick to it. Everyone had clearly seen that it was Yue Zifeng’s power that had allowed him to break that disciple’s defenses.

  “Absolutely overboard!” Ma Xingkong’s hair was standing on end as he glared at the Xuan Master. “I demand an explanation!”

  The Xuan Master smiled faintly. “There’s nothing to explain. Didn’t we already agree that life and death are up to the heavens? What, have you forgotten already?”

  “Fine! Fine, life and death are up to the heavens! Let’s see just how long you can be so calm!” spat out Ma Xingkong.

  The final rank six Celestial jumped onto the stage. He was the only innate rank six Celestial.

  His Blood Qi erupted as soon as he arrived, and a huge figure appeared behind him.

  That was a thirty-meter giant formed of runes. The giant let out a furious roar that shook the arena.

  “Idiots of the Xuantian Dao Sect, come and face your death!” The disciple’s roar was full of killing intent. The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples were all infuriated. He suddenly pointed at Long Chen. “You are called Long Chen, correct? Get over here and die!”

  “You don’t have the qualifications. Wilde, it’s your turn.” Long Chen looked back.

  “Wilde, wake up. It’s your turn.” Gu Yang gave Wilde a hard nudge. He was currently asleep in his seat.

  Only then did Wilde groggily stand up and start walking forward.

  “Wrong direction! The stage is over there!” Gu Yang hastily corrected his direction. He was speechless.

  Wilde drowsily arrived on the stage. He opened his mouth and yawned. Looking at his opponent, he said, “Brother Long wants me to beat you. You should admit defeat, or don’t blame me for killing you.”

  “Fuck off!”

  The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciple roared and waved his staff. The giant behind him shot forward and punched at Wilde.

  Wilde seemed to still not be awake. His head was still sluggish, and so he was struck directly and slammed into the barrier.

  This attack’s power was immense, and the entire martial stage shuddered. But when Wilde crawled up, he wasn’t injured at all, shocking everyone. Just how terrifying was his physical body?

  “Die!” His opponent once more waved his staff, and more giant figures appeared, all charging at Wilde.

  These giants were formed from various runes. They were incredibly powerful, and each one of their steps caused the martial stage to quiver.

  There were a total of eighteen giants. Each one of them had a blood-colored rune on its forehead. When they moved, they automatically absorbed energy from the world. That was just like how Celestials could merge with heaven and earth, giving them a continuous supply of energy. That way they didn’t need to take the disciple’s spiritual yuan.

  “You’re the one who will die!”

  Suddenly, Wilde roared. Perhaps that attack completely woke him up, and he directly summoned the Barbarian Blood Bronze Body and swept his huge club out.

  What shocked everyone was that any of the giants touched by the spiked club would explode upon contact.

  Those giants were powerless to resist in front of Wilde’s power. His opponent was completely shocked, and he quickly waved his staff, chanting some mnemonic. Countless flying swords of light were condensing in the air.

  Even through the barrier, everyone sensed a terrifying pressure from these flying swords. This was a terrifying attack from an innate rank six Celestial.

  Their magical arts received the approval of the Heavenly Daos easier, and not only were they faster, but their power was also many times greater.

  Each of these flying swords had the power to kill a rank five Celestial. Now, there were over ten thousand of them, and they were all shooting toward Wilde. Even the Dragonblood warriors started to sweat.

  Wilde’s spiked club began to glow, and with a heaven-shaking roar, he smashed it at the ground.

  BOOOM!!!

  The completely undamaged martial stage finally had a three-meter hole smashed into it by Wilde. Countless fragments shot out, and a powerful qi wave struck the flying swords.

  The flying swords exploded one after another. This swing of Wilde’s club completely destroyed his opponent’s terrifying attack.

  “Bastard, taste my club!”

  Wilde roared and was just about to charge at his opponent when he suddenly froze, staring blankly.

  Not only him, but everyone else was also staring blankly. The one with the blankest expression was Wilde’s opponent.

  Not only was his expression blank, but his life aura had also disappeared. He fell from the sky just like that.

  He collapsed limply on the ground. At some unknown point, a small, chopstick-sized hole had appeared in his forehead.

  Wilde was dumbfounded. He asked, “Hey, are we still fighting? If you aren’t fighting anymore, then it means I win.”

  “How could this happen?!”

  Ma Xingkong was extremely unwilling. Others might not know what had happened, but he had seen it clearly. This powerful innate rank six Celestial had truly died wrongly.

  Wilde’s attack had caused fragments of the martial stage to fly out. The martial stage was supported by countless runes, making it incredibly hard.

  As a result, a little pebble of it had struck his disciple in the end, and the power of the runes within the pebble had instantly killed his soul. This disciple had truly died in a ridiculous way.

  “This was just an accident!” raged Ma Xingkong.

  “It truly was an accident. That’s fine, my Xuantian Dao Sect is reasonable. We haven’t announced victory. You can have your disciple stand back up and keep fighting,” sneered Long Chen.

  “You!” Ma Xingkong’s face turned purple.

  Although it was an accident, that disciple was dead. He had lost this round.

  He was startled, infuriated, and devastated. Four rank six Celestials had all been killed! How was he supposed to give an explanation when he got back?

  Even if he won, the spirit stone mine was nothing compared to four rank six Celestials. There was no comparison. Only by bringing back the Life Star Bead would he barely be able to make up for his losses.

  Currently, everyone in the Xuantian Dao Sect was shocked, and quite a few people were deeply worried.

  No matter how this competition ended, the relationship between the Xuantian Dao Sect and Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect would be completely ruined. Four rank six Celestials, which were all genius disciples that had only just advanced and were existences with limitless potential. Perhaps the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect would want to kill themselves from the pain from losing them.

  The higher-ups of the Xuantian Dao Sect were all shocked by the power of Long Chen’s side. Meng Qi and Guo Ran’s vi
ctories were understandable, as they had caught their opponents off guard.

  But Yue Zifeng’s victory had been decided through true power, and Wilde was the same. Although Wilde had only swung his club a few times, his power had still been terrifying. Furthermore, his aura had still been climbing. He clearly hadn’t used his full power.

  They had only been in the Xuantian Dao Sect for such a short amount of time, but they had grown to such a terrifying extent. Even though they had personally witnessed their growth, they were incomparably shocked.

  As for the senior generation disciples, Gao Xianyang and the others were also full of shock. Although Gao Xianyang was a rank six Celestial who had reached the late Foundation Forging realm, he still felt intimidated by Wilde and the other’s power.

  The happiest ones would naturally have to be the Elder Hall. All of Long Chen’s Dragonblood Legion had placed themselves under the banner of the Elder Hall, and they had won them a great deal of face now.

  Now the score was four to four. Only one more round remained, and the winner of it would be the overall victor.

  From an absolute disadvantage, they had caught up to this point. This was completely out of most of their expectations. Only the Xuan Master’s expression remained calm and indifferent, as if he didn’t care too much about any of this.

  Wilde foolishly stood on the martial stage, staring at his opponent’s unmoving corpse. He didn’t know what to do. He wasn’t sure whether this person was really dead or faking. That was because in his mind, only people who were smashed to bits were really dead.

  Long Chen was about to call Wilde back when a new figure jumped onto the stage. He was the mysterious man wearing the conical hat.

  “It seems you’re the strongest disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect. There’s no need to get off. Let’s decide victory or defeat right now!” His voice was quiet and icy without the slightest emotion.

  “You want to fight? Then come!”

  Wilde didn’t understand what this man was saying. Seeing a new opponent come, he thought it was a replacement. He swung his club, ready to fight.

  But before anyone saw his opponent do anything, a golden ray of light shot over and pierced Wilde’s head.
