Chapter 52 The Emperor's Eldest Son (9)
Boom!
On the Life and Death Platform of Hundred Flowers Island, two figures flashed by, their magical treasures colliding with a deafening sound.
Bang bang bang bang!
Both of them were extremely fast, and the audience below the stage kept gasping in surprise.
Changqing was not on stage.
He stood calmly below the stage, watching the two fighting with great interest. There were empty seats around him, clearly no one dared to sit next to him.
"Ning Hao is quite cautious; he hasn't revealed his true strength yet?"
After watching for a while, he muttered to himself, glanced away with some boredom, and then saw Mu Qing and her father standing in the distance, staring at the stage with extremely tense expressions.
Tsk, looks like they're waiting for Su Bai to get revenge.
After all, Su Bai had made a bold statement that he would personally defeat and capture him, and hand him over to Yue Cangwu for disposal.
However, he wouldn't give the other party a chance.
Ning Hao was forced to go first.
One is the Emperor's own son, and the other is his confidant. The two don't even know each other. It would be quite interesting if they fought like this.
Changqing curled his lips into a wicked smile.
He noticed that Su Bai's mother, Su Rongrong, was also watching the battle not far away. However, she was calm and composed, clearly having great confidence in her son.
That makes sense. Su Bai is the son of Yue Cangwu's true love, his most favored successor, and he cultivates the authentic and complete Azure Lotus Technique. He probably possesses not only the magic treasures of Tingyun Pavilion, but also the magic treasures given to him by that scumbag father.
It would be unreasonable not to fight against opponents of higher levels.
However, neither this woman nor her son could have imagined that Ning Hao was also hiding his cultivation level, and that his method of concealment was quite sophisticated, a method employed by Yue Cangwu.
That's interesting.
Changqing stroked his chin, his eyes darting around.
He was genuinely curious to see who would emerge victorious once both sides revealed their cards.
Boom!
Another loud bang echoed on the stage, sending both of them flying backward, their expressions turning serious.
Su Bai was also secretly surprised.
He has never had any rivals among his peers in Tingyun Pavilion. Even his uncle, who is the pavilion master, praised him for his extraordinary talent, saying that he can fight against opponents of higher ranks.
I never expected that this guy, who was just that person's follower, could resist me for so long.
"Heh, I didn't expect you, you scoundrel, to have some real skills."
He sneered, and his aura surged.
Ning Hao's expression changed, and he also got angry. Even if this kid was the young master of Tingyun Pavilion, he was not without a background. Moreover, he had the strength of a king. He had been fighting with this kid for so long and was already feeling a bit frustrated. Now he had to be mocked.
He stepped forward and threw a punch, then stumbled back several steps. Suddenly, he chuckled softly.
"What's so great about Tingyun Pavilion? Today, I'll kill you, you arrogant brat, right here on this life-or-death stage, and see if Tingyun Pavilion still has the face to come looking for revenge!"
After saying that, he struck his own chest with his palm.
Amidst gasps of surprise from the crowd, his imposing aura was finally no longer concealed.
Royal Realm!
Changqing finally straightened up, his eyes widening slightly.
Meanwhile, the old man and his daughter cried out in surprise, but when they noticed that Su Bai's biological mother, Su Rongrong, remained calm, they were somewhat relieved.
"Prepare to die!"
Ning Hao transformed into a whirlwind and swept towards Su Bai.
The storm, as sharp as a knife, completely obscured the entire arena of life and death. The audience below could only hear the sound of magical artifacts clashing, and could not see what was happening at all.
"What's going on? Why can't I see clearly? Where are the people from Hundred Flowers Island? Hurry up and deal with this!"
"Holy crap, I think I just heard a scream. Could someone be injured?"
"Damn it, you can't see me when it matters most, give me my money back!!!"
The onlookers started making a fuss.
Yes.
The Battle Arena on Hundred Flowers Island requires an entrance fee, and the audience members who come have basically paid a certain cost.
There are naturally people in charge of managing this place.
Hearing the complaints from the crowd, an old man stood up.
"This is a result of combat effects, not a fault of Hundred Flowers Island, therefore no refunds will be given..."
"Also, please refrain from making noise and disturbing other guests; otherwise, we will take appropriate measures..."
Having said that, the aura of a late-stage King-level expert was revealed, and the audience fell silent in an instant.
Changqing had already stood up.
He still had a smile on his face. Although he had realized that Ning Hao had lost, it was a good thing for him no matter who won or lost the battle.
"It's time to go."
At this moment, countless people stood up nervously, their eyes fixed on the stage, and no one noticed that someone had quietly retreated to the back of the crowd.
Hearing a burst of surprised exclamations behind him, Changqing didn't turn around. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked towards the center of the island.
Inside the arena, the storm that had obscured the view dissipated, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the astonishing scene unfolding on stage.
Su Bai, dressed in white, stood tall with blood at the corner of his mouth, but his aura was not diminished at all. On the contrary, it became even sharper, like a sword drawn from its sheath, making people dare not look directly at him.
Before him lay Ning Hao, a sword piercing his chest, arcs of electricity crackling across its surface. He was clearly dead beyond any doubt.
Everyone was shocked.
"To defy the higher the realm, is this the true strength of a great sect's prodigy?"
“But Ning Hao isn’t without connections either. He’s someone close to the son of the current Great Emperor. I’m afraid things won’t end here.”
"Heh, on the life-and-death stage, life and death are irrelevant. Why would the Great Emperor care about such things? Besides, that's not his son. His son is perfectly fine."
On the stage, Su Bai was in high spirits. His first battle after leaving the mountain was to defeat a King Realm expert, and to do so in public. He was upholding justice and felt that he was invincible at this moment. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
"Yue Changqing, come up here and face your death!"
He was actually going to fulfill his boast before going on stage: to defeat two people by himself.
As the audience watched in astonishment, they couldn't help but follow his gaze, and then they all froze in shock.
"Hey? Where is that emperor's son? Why haven't we seen him?"
"Holy crap, deserting at the last minute? So cowardly? Don't you have any dignity left?"
"Like father, like son! He's really disgraced the Great Emperor. It seems the next generation will belong to a prodigy like Young Master Su. I must say, his aura just now really had a bit of the Great Emperor's style."
The crowd whispered among themselves, while Su Bai's expression turned grim.
They ran away?
That kid ran away again?!
This made him very unhappy, because that was a real big fish. Only by catching that thief could he truly make a name for himself in the cultivation world. After all, that thief's identity was extraordinary, and he had a feeling that the Great Emperor would not protect that kid.
Why didn't they catch the owner and went straight to complain?
That's not his style. It's like a child who's been bullied crying to their parents; that would be a bad move.
"Xiaobai, you've done a good job."
Su Rongrong waved to her son. Of course she knew what her son meant, but the boy left without a trace, and she was watching the stage at the time, so she didn't notice.
An old man went up on stage and announced Su Bai's victory, stating that everything belonging to the loser would belong to the victor.
However, Su Bai didn't even glance at it, and stepped off the stage in a flash.
"Hehe, Yue Changqing, I will defeat you myself sooner or later and bring you before Senior Yue, so that you won't spread rumors and ruin Senior Yue's reputation."
He made up his mind in his heart.
