Even if Brother Yu realizes what's happening, the killing technique has already been unleashed. If she rashly withdraws it, she will not only suffer a backlash, but she might also have all her meridians shattered and become a cripple. In that case, she would be a sinner!
"Xin'er, it was indeed Junior Sister Lan who saved you just now, you should thank her quickly."
As the daughter of the city lord of Sifang City, she was now forced to thank someone she disliked. Even though Jiang Xin didn't want to, the fact remained that he had saved her, and she couldn't utter a word for a moment.
Jiang Ling was immediately exasperated. She knew her daughter cared about her image, but was her life more important than her image?
Just as he was about to step forward to thank Ji Jiuying, he was interrupted by her.
"No need for thanks. In the future, you'd better think before you speak to me and my second brother!"
Ji Jiuying's cold voice rang out, and Jiang Xin's hesitation vanished instantly. She snorted and sat down.
Ji Jiuying had no intention of paying attention to this spoiled young lady!
The group was drawn over by the murmurs from the audience. They saw that the Weapon Sect had sent a burly, dark-skinned man onto the stage. Ji Jiuying didn't recognize the man and naturally didn't know what the people were murmuring about. She turned to look at Lan Zhao.
Who is that person?
“This person is Wu Ji from the Weapon Sect. His strength is no less than Qi Feng’s. I’m afraid Feng Yu will have a hard time defeating him,” Lan Zhao explained.
"Not necessarily. Cultivation requires a steady and solid approach. A high cultivation level doesn't necessarily mean someone is powerful."
As they were talking, the two on the stage started fighting. After the battle between Feng Yu and Qi Feng, Wu Ji was extremely cautious with every step he took.
Thunder roared, and the wind and clouds surged.
roar--
A beastly roar rang out, and Wu Ji summoned a level nine Thunder Tiger.
A murmur of disapproval rippled through the crowd.
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes. On the way to Blue Star, she had fought against a Thunder Tiger at the peak of level nine. If it weren't for Ling Xiao's help, she probably wouldn't have been able to defeat it. This one had been tamed and was not at the peak level, so it wouldn't be particularly difficult to deal with.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yu also summoned a spirit beast, a fiery red nine-tailed spirit fox.
Both being level nine spirit beasts, the Thunder Tiger is of the lightning element, while the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox is of the fire element. However, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox also possesses the ability to control illusions.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared on the arena, flames spread, and everyone's blood seemed to be burning.
Wu Ji's burly figure, accompanied by gusts of wind and lightning, unleashed a powerful spiritual technique, slamming fiercely towards Feng Yu. Behind him, the Thunder War Tiger also leaped up, engaging the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox in combat.
The crowd below the stage held their breath for Feng Yu. If this powerful spiritual technique were to strike the mountain, the entire mountain would probably collapse.
Feng Yu's face was serious. He easily dodged and changed direction. He gathered spiritual power in his hand, and the red power transformed into a sharp arrow in the storm, shooting towards Wu Ji with lightning speed.
Feng Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he transformed into a streak of light, following the thousands of arrows as they flew away. He poured spiritual power into his palm and struck Wu Ji fiercely. Wu Ji was shocked and caught off guard, staggering back more than ten steps before regaining his footing.
A smear of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked slightly disheveled, but his aura remained.
The two stood face to face, their silence speaking volumes. Wu Ji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his hands constantly gathering spiritual energy, his body covered with lightning as thick as his wrist, and he floated in mid-air.
Such powerful lightning attribute!
As expected of someone who has contracted with Thunder Tiger!
The people in the audience watched the ring intently, afraid of missing a single brilliant move.
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox repelled the Thunder Tiger with a single move and flashed behind Feng Yu. Its red eyes kept emitting an eerie light. Feng Yu cooperated with the Nine-Tailed Fox, and his hands also gathered sword energy. Countless sword lights shone brightly under the sunlight.
Thunder Tiger roared, its head thrown back, crackling and popping—
Countless bolts of lightning converged on Wu Ji's body.
In a corner where no one could see, Wu Ji's eyes became somewhat cloudy.
Bang!
The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening sound.
Just as Wu Ji exerted his strength again, this time using all his might, his skill missed its mark, leaving him in a moment of astonishment.
puff--
A powerful force struck from behind, and before he could react, he was knocked off the stage. The sound of bones breaking could almost be heard, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Wu Ji was indeed a tough guy. Despite being so badly injured, he didn't utter a sound. He just frowned and stared at the nine-tailed fox on the stage. The reason he made a mistake in the last attack must have been because the red light emitted by the fox had confused him.
Ultimately, he was simply outmatched, and despite the pain of his broken bones, he slowly stood up.
"Feng Yusheng, the Formation Master—"
"Next match, Feng Yu from the Formation Sect will face off against the Pill Sect."
The happiest people on the field were undoubtedly the people from the Array Sect. Finally, they were no longer at the bottom. Xuan Jing and Feng Yu were firmly in the top twenty. Everyone placed all their hopes on the two of them, completely forgetting that Ji Jiu Ying had not yet taken the stage.
Maybe, but Ji Jiuying is in the prefecture-level class after all, so even if she goes up there, she'll probably still be at the bottom.
The person from the Dan Sect who took the stage was Jiang Ling.
Jiang Xin grabbed Jiang Ling beside her: "Brother, you must go easy on him!"
"······"
"My dear, it's not me who should show mercy!"
Jiang Ling leaped onto the arena, facing Feng Yu who had fought two intense battles in a row. Defeating him was more than a matter of course for him.
"Brother Jiang, no need to be so polite! It's been quite a while since we last had a friendly spar."
Jiang Ling and Jiang Xin smiled at each other, and the two quickly started fighting. Jiang Xin, sitting in the audience, nervously rubbed her hands. One was the person she liked, and the other was her own brother. She didn't know who she hoped would win.
The two seemed to be sparring rather than competing; after a stick of incense had burned, they had exchanged over a hundred moves.
"Brother Jiang, it's time to end this!"
Feng Yu said calmly, his sword striking Jiang Ling fiercely. Jiang Ling's face was full of seriousness as he defended and attacked simultaneously.
Hei Xiangling cracked some melon seeds and said quietly, "That brat's cousin is going to lose!"
Shirakawa asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
“Look closely, my cousin is relieving himself.”
As expected, after a few more moves, Jiang Ling dodged and placed his sword against Feng Yu's neck.
"You flatter me, Brother Feng."
Jiang Ling sheathed his sword, and the two men punched each other.
Feng Yu smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, good luck!"
Thank you!
Feng Yu returned to his seat, and Jiang Xin quickly stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Brother Yu, how are you? Are you alright?"
"It's alright, I'll be fine after a short rest."
He then took out a recovery pill and a healing pill and ate them.
"Hmph, that brat brother, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind later."
“Xin’er, Brother Jiang didn’t hurt me, don’t blame him!” Feng Yu said.
Ji Jiuying glanced at him. If he had gone all out just now, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to beat Jiang Ling, but he chose to hold back, doing so so quietly that it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice.
