As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1228
Chapter 1228 Competition
Very quickly, the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect had already arrived at the plaza. Many people began to discuss in the distance. Elder Xuanming’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at the two of them. “I wonder how the two of you intend to compete in this competition.”
Elder Purple Lightning smiled and said, “This time, since Bei Mingzi isn’t here, I don’t think we need to do so much. Simply put, three of you from Tianming Sect and three from my Heavenly Devil Sect will win one-on-one and two out of three games.”
“Alright, then we’ll win two out of three rounds. But I wonder, what if there’s a draw?” Elder Xuanming looked at the two and asked calmly.
“No draw …”
Right at this moment, a gloomy voice sounded. A man dressed in black walked out from the Heavenly Demon Sect. The man’s entire body was deathly lifeless and his face was like lead. He couldn’t help but look a little scared. The disciples of the nearby Tianming Sect subconsciously retreated into the distance.
Behind the black-clothed man stood a man dressed in Qingyi and a man dressed in Zi Yi. The Zi Yi man said indifferently, “If there is no way to determine the outcome, then it will only be until one side dies in battle …”
“This …”
The moment he said this, a great commotion immediately broke out. Although the two clans had been fighting endlessly for hundreds of years, every time they competed, it was only a matter of deciding victory and defeat, not deciding life and death. Could it be that today’s competition had actually become a life-and-death battle?
Moreover, judging from the current situation, although the cultivation of the other three people were different, they were clearly slightly better than their own. The black-clothed man’s cultivation was similar to Xie Wuxia’s, but the Qingyi man and the Zi Yi man were slightly higher than the direct disciples of the two sect masters on their side. This competition was probably a bit suspenseful …
“What? If you don’t dare, then I’ll be in charge of the first round …”
The black-clothed man’s face was gloomy, and there was also a faint black mist on his body. It was unknown if it was because he was cultivating demonic arts or something else. In short, it made people feel uncomfortable looking at him.
In the Land of Bone Corrosion, although there was no such clear distinction between the Righteous and the Demonic as Xianyuan Five Realms did, since ancient times, there had always been one Immortal Cultivator and one Demon Cultivator.
As for the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was situated between the two. There were cultivators and devils. This black-clothed man was obviously closer to the devils.
“Why not?”
At this moment, Xie Wuxia walked forward and looked at the black-clothed man. She said indifferently, “Since you are so confident, then it’s good that you will be my opponent …”
“Thank you Senior Brother …”
Many disciples of Tianming Sect were shocked, but thinking about it, this black-clothed man seemed to be from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and his cultivation was the highest. Other than Senior Brother Xie, no one else could be his opponent …
“Wait a moment.”
At this moment, Elder Xuanming walked up and glanced at Xie Wuxia, saying, “Wuxia, you should leave first.” After saying that, he looked at the direct disciple of the sect master behind him and said, “Guang Cheng, come up.”
“Yes …”
The disciple named Guang Cheng walked up. Obviously, his cultivation was the lowest among the three. Elder Xuanming looked at him and said, “Guang Cheng, you will be in this first round.”
Hearing this, the disciple named Guang Cheng was stunned. Not only was he stunned, all the disciples of Tianming Sect nearby were stunned. This black-clothed man from the Heavenly Demon Sect had the highest cultivation. Only Senior Brother Xie could win. Sending Guang Cheng up, wouldn’t that be giving the other party a win? This …
“Yes.”
Guang Cheng cupped his hands. Although he didn’t understand why Elder Xuanming had sent him to deal with the strongest enemy, there was no way out.
At this moment, Xie Wuxia’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if she vaguely understood Elder Xuanming’s intentions.
A moment later, Guang Cheng and the black-clothed man from the Heavenly Demon Sect went to the arena. All the disciples of Tianming Sect below held their breaths and focused. However, the result was without suspense. In less than twenty moves, Guang Cheng had already lost the formation and was sent flying by a sharp black gas from the other party.
“Senior Brother Guang Cheng!”
Many people were shocked. Black gas burst out from Senior Brother Guang Cheng’s face, and a black palm print appeared on his chest. The two elders immediately stepped forward to block the black gas from entering his body.
“Send him down to treat his injuries.” Elder Xuanming’s expression did not change. He seemed to have expected such a result long ago, and there was not a single ripple on his face.
“Haha, it’s too easy to defeat you …”
At this moment, the Qingyi man lightly leapt onto the arena. With a confident smile on his face, he said indifferently, “Who’s going to fight in the second match?”
Because of the first defeat, the disciples of Tianming Sect became nervous. At this time, another direct disciple of the sect master walked out and said, “I’ll do it!”
“Senior Brother Xu Hua …”
The disciple’s face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his gaze was exceptionally sharp. Obviously, he wanted to avenge his junior apprentice-brother.
However, at this moment, Elder Xuanming walked out again, “Xu Hua, step down. This time, Wuxia will go up.” After saying that, he looked at Xie Wuxia.
“Yes, Elder …”
Xie Wuxia smiled gently and kicked her feet. She flew onto the arena. A strong wind immediately blew across the arena, causing the Heavenly Devil Sect disciple to take a few steps back.
This time, everyone finally understood why Elder Xuanming wanted Guang Cheng, who had the lowest cultivation, to fight in the first match.
It was precisely because the black-clothed man was the strongest person in the Heavenly Demon Sect. His cultivation was about the same as Xie Wuxia’s, but his demonic arts were extremely strange. Xie Wuxia might not be able to win steadily.
The second strongest person in the Heavenly Demon Sect was this Qingyi man. His cultivation was slightly higher than Xu Hua’s, who was the second strongest in Tianming Sect. In the end, the third strongest person’s cultivation was also slightly higher than Guang Cheng, who was the lowest in Tianming Sect.
As a result, the first versus first, second versus second, third versus third. Even if Xie Wuxia won the first match, Tianming Sect would lose the remaining two matches without a doubt.
Therefore, from the beginning, Elder Xuanming had his third opponent take first place against the enemy, then he would use his first opponent to take second place against the enemy, and finally, he would use his second opponent to take third place against the enemy …
In this way, even though he lost the first match, he would definitely win the second. Only in this way would Tianming Sect be able to win the third match.
“Elder Xuanming, you’re amazing …”
At this time, many of the elders of Tianming Sect were all smiling. It turned out that Elder Xuanming was already accurate. No wonder Guang Cheng, who had the lowest cultivation, had to fight in the first round.
The two of them exchanged glances and cursed inwardly, “This Old Dog Xuanming is still so cunning after decades …”
In the distance, Xiao Chen also focused his gaze and looked at Elder Xuanming. It seemed that this person also had a huge hill in his chest. If it was because Senior was so good at scheming, Lustless Heaven would be even more powerful. Unfortunately, Senior Monster’s consciousness was sometimes lost after he was heavily injured in the head by Master’s finger.
The second match had begun. There was no suspense in this match. After all, Xie Wuxia was from a famous clan, and he possessed all kinds of powerful profound arts from the Xie Clan. In less than 30 moves, he sent the Qingyi man flying.
“Good! Good! Thank you Senior Brother! Good fight!”
Seeing that Xie Wuxia had sent that person flying, many disciples of Tianming Sect immediately cheered. As for the Heavenly Demon Sect, Qing Hong and Zi Lian’s expressions were slightly gloomy. At this moment, another figure flew onto the stage. It was actually the Zi Yi man with the lowest cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely win this match.”
Xu Hua pinched his fingers and no longer hesitated. He tapped his feet and gently flew onto the arena. The two of them met one another. Without further ado, they attacked each other with a fierce killing move.
This match was obviously more intense than the previous two matches. Because the difference in strength between the two sides was not too great, each move and stance was related to victory or defeat.
“Heavenly Underworld Fire!”
“Blood Tide Finger!”
Apart from using flying swords to resist, the two of them also used their divine abilities to attack each other’s vital points. Everyone below held their breath. The victory or defeat of the battle was up to the two of them.
“Boom boom boom boom!”
On the arena, there was a cloud of dust. The two of them attacked ferociously. After fighting for a while, their bodies were already injured.
Xu Hua’s body was struck by several swords, and his entire body was bleeding endlessly. The Zi Yi man from the Heavenly Devil Sect was also not well. He was heavily injured by Xu Hua’s [Darknorth Divine Palm]. Cold Qi entered his body and corroded his internal organs. His movements were becoming slower and slower.
“Senior Brother Xu Hua …”
Everyone below had their hearts hanging outside. At this moment, Xu Hua’s entire body condensed and he shouted, “Darknorth Divine Sword!”
“It’s the sect master’s Darknorth profound art …”
Many people were shocked. At this moment, Xu Hua’s flying sword instantly transformed into three, three, nine … In an instant, it transformed into countless strands of sword qi and slashed towards the Zi Yi man from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Facing such a terrifying sword swarm, the Zi Yi man didn’t dare to be careless. In an instant, he condensed the Genuine energy Spirit Formation. However, with the Darknorth Divine Palm in his body and the cold energy entering his body, his strength had dropped by a lot. He could only barely resist it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Hua unexpectedly used all the blood essence in his body as a guide. He condensed his fingers and drew out fresh blood from his wound, gathering on the flying sword. In an instant, the sword qi in the sky turned blood red, and its power multiplied several times!
“Senior Brother Xu Hua!”
Everyone below was shocked. Xu Hua’s originally pale face was now completely pale from blood loss. However, the sword qi in the sky had indeed increased by countless times, and it broke through the Zi Yi barrier of the Genuine energy man in an instant.
“Chi chi chi!”
A bone-piercing sound rang out, and the Zi Yi man was completely unable to resist. In an instant, dozens of sword qi pierced through him, and his entire body flew backwards, his life and death unknown.
“Uh …”
Xu Hua’s legs went limp and he knelt down on the stage. He had consumed a lot of blood essence and was obviously unable to hold on. However, in this competition, he undoubtedly won.
“Senior Brother Xu … Senior Brother Xu has won! Senior Brother Xu has won!”
Across the square, cheers rose and fell. On the side of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Qing Hong and Zi Lian’s faces were gloomy. They won two out of three matches. Not only did they lose, but in this final match, the Zi Yi man suffered heavy injuries. All of his meridians were broken and his organs were shattered …
At this moment, the entire Tianming Sect was immersed in the joy of victory, and the disciples were also cheering endlessly. However, in the distance, Xiao Chen did not think that this was a good thing, as if they were … happy too early.
