Translator: 549690339
Old man Xu Lan saw Cao Yi’s stubborn look, waved his hand and said with a pleasant expression, “You’re misunderstanding. My idea is that when all of you who have passed the One Arrow Agreement recover your spiritual power, you can challenge me together. Alone, you can’t.”
The look on Xu Lan’s face suggested ‘I’m considering it all for you, no need to thank me’, but his words caused a stir among the crowd and shook Cao Yi to his core.
To think this man could arrogantly dismiss Xiling as if it were an unimportant backwater!
Many warriors rose from their seats, faces flushed with shame and indignation. Xu Lan had once again stirred the emotions he had felt the previous day.
“Even if you are a member of the Xu Clan, how dare you insult the warriors of Xiling!”
“You aim to dominate and insult without even laying your eyes on the Pride of Xiling, I never thought that the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou was such an arrogant clan!”
“Come on, let us see what extraordinary abilities you have that justify your reckless boasting!”
The previously quiet battleground started to boil over. Large numbers of warriors leapt down from the watching platform and slowly approached the combat stage. All eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent and focused on Xu Lan.
Yuan Zhun, who had been quietly standing by the side, couldn’t bear the crowd’s provocations, let alone the scene of some people rudely advancing toward the stage. He wanted to pick up his arrow and bow, but was stopped by Xu Lan.
He had proposed that all the Mortal Realm martial artists fight together, considering this as benevolence towards the warriors of Xiling. As Tang Luo had said, the world-class families of the holy lands fighting against ordinary clan warriors was nothing short of bullying, which is why he suggested that these warriors band together to fight en masse.
But seeing the anger on the faces of the crowd and hearing their words, he knew that he had made the right choice by behaving like this. Why would these clan warriors be so angry when faced with Xu Lan’s proposal? It’s because they believed that even though there is a gap between them and the top combatants of the holy lands, it wasn’t so insurmountable that additional numbers were needed to even the odds.
They felt Xu Lan was insulting the martial artists of Xiling. This couldn’t be blamed on them, because the great holy lands had not witnessed the true abilities of the warriors from their domains for too many years. This had led to all these warriors making the wrong assumptions.
That’s why Xu Lan had no intention of slaughtering or mocking them because if they did not accept his advice, they would end up facing deepest despair.
This time, the ones who were about to be killed were the peak warriors of the Mortal Realm who had achieved unity of spirit and intent!
Facts were the most powerful rebuttals, and Xu Lan was well versed with this.
Standing not far from Xu Lan, Cao Yi was already trembling with anger. This young warrior dared to be so arrogant, he pointed at Xu Lan’s nose and shouted, “Why wait for later? After a short rest, I will fight you. Do you dare to accept the challenge!?”
The loud challenge rang in the sky above the battleground, and the onlooking warriors gave out shouts of approval. They had seen the display of the General Evil Qi and did not believe that this young man could defeat Cao Yi. If it ended in a tie, they would see how this noble son of a holy land could step down from the stage!
Watching the scene unfold in front of him, Yuan Zhun felt a bout of anger rushing to his head. Even the hand holding the Falling Star bow was slightly trembling. Xu Lan waved at him, calmed the about-to-explode Yuan Zhun and casually said to Cao Yi, “As you wish.”
Cao Yi snorted coldly and, surrounded by warriors, stepped down from the stage where a cushion appeared out of nowhere. He immediately sat cross-legged to meditate and replenish his qi.
On the stage, Xu Lan turned to Yuan Zhun and said, “Uncle Zhun, no need to be so angry, just continue selecting people.” Saying that, he also stepped down from the stage.
Yuan Zhun, with a gloomy face, turned to the crowd and said, “Next!”
Subsequently, many martial artists took turns to go on the stage. Each one of them, whether embarrassed or lightly injured, managed to withstand an arrow from Yuan Zhun, because they were all peak Mortal Realm martial artists. Even if there was a gap in strength compared to Yuan Zhun, they were not the kind that could be defeated by one arrow.
Every martial artist who passed the One Arrow Agreement saluted Xu Lan, who was standing under the stage, and said, “Allow me some time to recuperate, and we will fight later!”
In just a few moments, a group of recuperating martial artists had gathered around the outskirts of the battleground. Each one of them was trying their best to replenish their qi.
Yuan Zhun’s face was expressionless as he coldly looked at everyone. He was about to call the next person, when he saw Cao Yi, who was the first one to rest, stand up and jump onto the stage.
He pointed at Yuan Zhun and said, “You step down, let your master come up, I want to see what this noble son, who dares to boast in Xiling, is capable of!”
Upon hearing this, the explosive Yuan Zhun just let out a cold laugh, put away his bow, turned around and walked down the stage.
Downstage, Xu Lan in a white gown stood up from his seat, stretched lazily, and narrowed his deep eyes into slits.
He leisurely walked onto the stage, smiled at Cao Yi and said, “You prepare first, do you want me to let you make a few moves?”
“Barefaced bragging!” Looking at Xu Lan’s frivolous demeanor, Cao Yi shouted. He activated his General Evil Qi and lunged at Xu Lan.
The young swordsman in white just stood with his hands behind his back, watching Cao Yi get closer and closer.
The green-black Qi turned into a long-horned evil ghost, like a totem, it brewed on Cao Yi’s back. This was the strongest killing move he could use at this stage – Ghost Totem!
Using the Evil Qi to communicate with the evil ghosts of the underworld, it not only enhances strength, speed, and the power of moves but also gifts the host with spirit. As long as the physical body is strong enough, it can even harness the power of a hundred ghosts.
The Ghost Totem, in combination with the General Evil Qi, gave Cao Yi the power to crush mountains and split cliffs with every move. With his current formidable physique, even common moves were impressively powerful. This kind of brutal and ultimate power was often the most difficult to deal with.
Only the ultimate clumsiness can break the ultimate sophistication. No matter what kind of moves or physical fitness you have, I will just punch you. This simple and crude method will never disappoint, because it’s clumsy, it’s unanswerable!
Xu Lan looked at the ghostly aura around Cao Yi, but there was still that playful look on his face. However, in front of him, a bluish green Spiritual Sword had condensed. The dim blue light contained extreme cold, the mere appearance of the Spiritual Sword made the temperature on the stage drop dramatically!
Cao Yi of course saw that suddenly appearing Spiritual Sword, but he chose to ignore it. He did not believe a thin Spiritual Sword could harm him. This was the extreme confidence the General Evil Qi gave him. Because relying on the Cao Family’s strongest war body, even the Combined Attack Technique of a Mortal Realm squad could only hurt him, but could not kill him!
And a punch from him could be fatal to an ordinary Mortal Realm warrior!
So, even after seeing the Spiritual Sword, he had no intention of slowing down, he went straight for Xu Lan. The muscles in his right arm bulged as if he pulled a bow back, and the clenched fingers seemed as if they had grasped space itself. Cao Yi aimed directly at Xu Lan’s chest and struck!
But Xu Lan, who was still yawning with his hand over his mouth, acted as if he didn’t see it..
